chills

Although he was only frozen for a moment, Granny Dongzhu was keenly aware of it.She raised her head and glanced at the two of them without saying anything. Both Shen Huaiyu and Lu Huaiyuan were pretending to be calm. Her experience in watching people over the years told her that these two people are not that simple, although they are It looks a little flustered, who knows if they have other cards?

"My child...it's time to tell the truth." Granny Dongzhu stared into Lu Huaiyuan's eyes and said.

"We are members of Qing Yunzong." Shen Huaiyu took a step forward, bowed to Granny Dongzhu, and said with a smile, "Senior really has profound knowledge, we juniors still can't hide it from you... Shen Huaiyu, this is my junior brother Lu Huaiyuan. "

Even Granny Dongzhu, who lived in seclusion, knew about the change of Qing Yunzong's position. As soon as the words Lu Huaiyuan came out, she probably understood what was going on. What Shen Huaiyu said was frank, sincere and credible The speed increased a lot in an instant, so she nodded her head, which was regarded as her approval of Shen Huaiyu's words.

Lu Huaiyuan glanced at Shen Huaiyu in astonishment. He didn't expect him to admit his identity so frankly. Then wouldn't the next step be to directly ask Granny Dongzhu about Xue Moci?If Granny Dongzhu is really on the side of Xue Moci, then they have no chance!

Shen Huaiyu secretly pinched Lu Huaiyuan to comfort him, and continued: "What we said just now is basically true... You probably have heard about my master's death. I was led into Qingyun Mountain by him, and he gave me my name. It almost gave me a new life. The death of Master is really unacceptable to my brothers and sisters... I hope that I can find a soul puppet, summon the soul of Master's dead soul, and just talk to me once in a while. , we will never do anything that should not be done.”

"Oh?" Grandma Dongzhu looked at Shen Huaiyu carefully.From the very beginning, he has been following Lu Huaiyuan without saying a word, and he never thought that he would suddenly stand up at this moment.

Lu Huaiyuan broke into a cold sweat, unexpectedly, Shen Huaiyu was still telling half-truths and half-truths.The lie was so convincing that even he couldn't tell whether Shen Huaiyu really had such thoughts... and what he came here for.

He thought he was already familiar with his senior brother enough, but he didn't expect that even now, he would still be suddenly surprised by his behavior sometimes.

"Since that's the case, I'll probably help with this, why bother to make up a story to lie to me, an old lady?" Granny Dongzhu asked softly.

"You also know..." Shen Huaiyu looked into Granny Dongzhu's eyes, and said sincerely, "Everyone fears the art of calling back the dead souls, and thinks it is a sorcery that harms others and oneself. The Qingyun sect has always been famous Decent, if there are rumors that the current suzerain and his fellow disciples came to seek the soul puppet to try to call back the previous suzerain, I am afraid that the sky will change, and we will become big sinners of the sect."

When he said this, there was always a smile on his face, his eyes looked very clear, and he was full of immortality, but what he said ran counter to the so-called Dao.Lu Huaiyuan forced himself to calm down, instead of looking at Shen Huaiyu, he took this opportunity to secretly look at Grandma Dongzhu's boat.

This small boat is old and broken, and the cabin is only this big. It doesn't look like it can hide a person at all—isn't Xue Moci here?In the middle of the clutter?Or... at the bottom of the boat?

"Since you all know that this is a sorcery, why do you still come here?" Granny Dongzhu stared at Shen Huaiyu and asked, "They are right."

Shen Huaiyu sighed and said: "You are a soul puppet yourself, so you are the most clear about whether this is a sorcery."

Granny Dongzhu sneered: "Then I know it best, it's a sorcery."

"Then why are you still carving soul puppets for others?" Shen Huaiyu asked softly.

Granny Dongzhu fell silent, touched the half-carved soul puppet from the small table, and continued to carve.

Shen Huaiyu's questioning almost reached the deepest part of her heart.Over the years, how many men and women, old and young, have she seen crying and begging her to carve a soul puppet—everyone knows that death cannot be resurrected, but they all come here to beg her with that little bit of hope?

Not reconciled, not reconciled to leaving the most important person like that, the one who is left behind will always have to endure more suffering and suffering, but not reconciled, and dare not die, so I can only live on in the world, Putting hope in all kinds of crooked ways, hoping to call that person back.

But when it was really called back, it was disappointing—it wasn't him after all, it was just a poor substitute made up of his remaining fragments.

Her old and turbid eyeballs suddenly became moist.

Granny Dongzhu finally stopped her hands and said, "...put the things over there."

"This is considered... agreed." Lu Huaiyuan thought.

"I didn't bring it with me." Shen Huaiyu wrote lightly, "The fog above Taihu Lake is so heavy, we live here as guests, we dare not take such a valuable thing with us, please give us a little time, senior, we will come again next time When I visit, I will bring things."

The incident happened suddenly, and Shen Huaiyu also temporarily moved Shen Lin out to play Granny Dongzhu, and there was no object that could be used as a soul puppet.Find an excuse to fool the past first, and then don't worry about excuses to see Granny Dongzhu.

While they were talking, Lu Huaiyuan was never idle, and had been quietly observing the crowded cabin.There is really no place for people to hide in this crowded cabin, but Lu Huaiyuan did find a loophole.

He saw a strand of black hair on Granny Dongzhu's comb.

Granny Dongzhu agreed to Shen Huaiyu's request to meet again tomorrow, Shen Huaiyu turned around, and was about to leave, but Lu Huaiyuan's eyes inadvertently glanced at the comb one more time.Granny Dongzhu put her eyes back on the half-carved puppet again, and the two returned to their own boat, loosening the rope that tied the two boats together.The two small boats gradually drifted away on Taihu Lake, Shen Huaiyu asked, "Fortunately."

Fortunately, Granny Dongzhu was not too wary, and she probably didn't expect that someone would tell another lie in a candid tone immediately after the lie was exposed.

"With you..." Lu Huaiyuan let out a long breath, and sat down on the small boat. The surrounding fog had gradually dissipated. The thick fog was really the obstacle set by Grandma Dongzhu, "The reaction is fast enough."

"The situation is compelling," Shen Huaiyu sighed, and sat down opposite him, "Did you find anything?"

"Yes." Lu Huaiyuan said, "I saw a black hair on the comb. Granny Dongzhu only has silver hair on her head, I think it should belong to Xue Moci."

Shen Huaiyu pondered for a moment: "Could it be left behind by someone before?"

"No." Lu Huaiyuan said, "Grandma Dongzhu's hair is carefully combed, which is probably her habit for many years. If this is the case, the comb must be used every day. If someone else's hair is left on it, it must be Something very near... so close that it won't be more than a day."

"Xue Moci must be hiding here."
