treacherous world
Chapter 189 Heavenly Tribulation and Fate
"The other party must hold the Tianya Valley meeting, and there must be some conspiracy." Bao Zheng thought for a while and asked the crowd, "What ability do you have to make blood flow like a river that day?"
"I think it might be a bluff." Zhao Pu took a teacup and shook his head, "To be honest, even if a large number of soldiers and horses went to encircle and suppress those people in the rivers and lakes, there would be no bloodshed. So what if the real blood demon comes out? ? Master Ruyun is afraid of him alone? What's more, Wu Bu'e has been arrested."
Gongsun also nodded, "What kind of poison and poisonous smoke, I have calculated it. The wind direction in Tianya Valley is chaotic and strong these days, so it is unlikely to be fatal in one blow. Besides, it is quite convenient to evacuate from Tianya Valley, so it shouldn't be like this." aspect."
Everyone was frowning, thinking there.
"Could it be that they want to spread some news?" Pang Yu asked, "All the heroes of the world were there that day. If there is any news to say there, it would be the best!"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, it was possible, but it was a bit unnecessary.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's audience were discussing the Tianya Valley Martial Arts Conference there, and suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, little uncle Shan." Zhan Zhao tugged at Wu Bushan, "Who is the one with the green eyes?"
Wu Bushan frowned, "That..."
Yue Yang leaned over, "It's a bit different from mine."
"Xiao Yuezi doesn't shine at night." Tang Shitou also said, "It's not the same."
"Yue Yang has blue eyes." Wu Bu'e explained, "He is not one of the eight eyes, but the queen of the saints."
"Saint?" Everyone was curious.
"Huh?" Wu Bu'e nodded, "Foresight, he knows a lot of spells, he is a mysterious existence, I am not familiar with him."
Everyone became more and more curious.
"As for the green eyes, it might be from the fish race." Wu Bu'e shook his head, "I haven't been in the mirage for a long time, and I'm a blood race, and the various races in the mirage rarely communicate with each other... In my memory, the green-eyed The Fish Clan go out as often as the Blood Clan."
"Cat, that man really wants to kill you." Bai Yutang reminded Zhan Zhao firmly.
"There's also that white-faced one." Yin Hou also nodded, "It seems that someone is going all out to kill you. Have you offended anyone?"
Zhan Zhao folded his arms and shook his head, "I don't think so, I don't know anyone with green eyes..."
Having said this, Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, as if he had remembered something, he put his chin on his head and began to lose his mind.
"Cat?" Bai Yutang asked him in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"I remembered one thing." Zhan Zhao frowned, "I seem to have seen a monster with green eyes and a big white face when I was a child."
"What?" Yin Lanci and Zhan Tianxing looked at each other, and they both came over to ask Zhan Zhao, "You met when you were young? How old were you?"
"Well, when we were three or four years old and we were living together in a mansion." Zhan Zhao nodded, as if he had indeed remembered, "When I was a child, I had nightmares at night... In the middle of the night, I saw someone at the door looking out of the window, sneaking around. Yes, through the paper window, I can still see two faint green lights. At that time, I told my eldest brother that it was haunted, and my eldest brother said it was a dream."
Hearing these words, Bai Yutang was troubled by Zhan Zhao sharing a room with Zhan Hao when he was a child. Even though they were both under ten years old at that time, it was still awkward.
Zhan Zhao noticed his expression and emphasized, "I was three or four years old at that time!"
"Then what happened later? How many times has that ghost appeared?" Yin Lanci frowned, "I haven't heard you mention it, and Haoer hasn't mentioned it either."
"I saw it for several nights in a row, so I gradually felt that it was not a dream. Before I went to sleep that night, I deliberately opened the window to see if it was a dream... Sure enough, the 'ghost' came again, Looking around the window, I clearly saw a ghost face and a pair of green eyes." Zhan Zhao added, "Whether the ghost face is the same as the person who wanted to kill me before, I can't remember. So I cried out and said that I wanted to catch ghosts. The eldest brother ran to the window fiercely, and the man ran away."
Everyone was speechless. Zhan Zhao seemed to be of two different types from the fourth son when he was a child. Didn't the fourth son cry in fright when he saw this ghost?Zhan Zhao jumped up to fight ghosts?Sure enough, three years old see old.
Zhan Zhao thought about it again, "The green-eyed ghost never came again. My brother kept telling me that he was a wild cat, so his eyes were green, but I could see it clearly. It was a human figure. Brother Maybe you're afraid that I'm afraid, so you lied to me."
"What about the white face?" Yin Lanci asked.
"Oh, it was one night in summer not long after the green-eyed monster disappeared." Zhan Zhao said, "I was enjoying the shade in the yard at night, and when I went to the backyard, I saw my brother Zhan Zhao talking to someone at the back door. I didn't know that person." See clearly, thinking about it now, I just thought his face was white and big, like a ghost face. As soon as I went, the eldest brother let the man go, and then closed the door. I asked him who it was, and he said it was a watchman watchman, let us watch out for the candles."
Everyone looked at each other, there is no watchman coming to tell you to be careful, it's obviously Zhan Hao's perfunctory.
"Speaking of which, those people really have something to do with Zhan Hao..." Pang Yu thought for a while, then asked Zhan Zhao, "Isn't that why your elder brother wants to kill you?"
Bao Yan glared at him, and Pang Yu quickly shut up and laughed dryly.
"No." Yin Lanci shook her head resolutely.
It's just that everyone has doubts in their hearts - Zhan Hao is not much older than Zhan Zhao, so it turns out that he has been in contact with these people since he was so young.
Yin Hou looked at Zhan Tianxing and Yin Lanci helplessly, "You two are parents, you really control them loosely, and you don't even know who your son is making friends with."
The Zhan family's parents were also slumped, regretting that they hadn't kept an eye on them back then.
"I don't blame my father and mother. I used to be like a tail with my elder brother, and I didn't find anything." Zhan Zhao frowned and thought to himself, "Now that I think about it, some weird people often come to my elder brother. When I was young, I thought it was him. My strange friend, he went to learn martial arts when he grew up, and never asked about it."
That night, Zhan Zhao hugged the pillow and leaned on the wicker chair, thinking about the events of that year.After all, it has been too long, and his memory is very vague when he was young. He only remembers people with green eyes and red eyes. He has white shade, but he can see things very clearly.
Bai Yutang went back to the White Mansion and brought a jar of good wine, knowing that Zhan Zhao must be very preoccupied tonight, so he planned to get drunk and sing with him at night.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the yard, he met the fourth son.
"Baibai." Xiaosi held a tray in his hand, "Jiujiu bought sauced beef."
Bai Yutang saw that it was not bad, and it happened to be served for drinking, so he nodded, thanked the fourth son, and took the plate.
The fourth son looked up and saw Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice, "Everyone is frowning these days."
Bai Yutang put down the wine jar and sat on the stone bench at the gate of the yard, while the fourth son climbed up the stone bench and sat beside him.
"Tomorrow is the Tianya Valley Conference." Bai Yutang frowned, "Master Bao seems to have decided to cancel the conference to avoid any loss of life."
"It's okay not to open." The fourth son clapped his hands, "Should we prepare for the engagement banquet? Isn't everything over?"
"It's not all over yet." Bai Yutang saw Shitou come out to rub his legs, so he walked over to pinch his ears, and Shitou hummed in enjoyment.
"It's a good thing if this meeting doesn't happen. It can prevent further lives, but if it's open, we may follow the clues to find clues." Bai Yutang shook his head. Things are stuck in the throat, and it is not fun to do any other things!"
The fourth son listened to Bai Yutang talking to himself, and nodded with a smile, "Jiujiu also said the same."
"Oh?" Bai Yutang looked at him with great interest, "He also wants to hold the Tianya Valley Conference?"
"I just asked Dad, why is your engagement banquet still not held, and Jiujiu said, it's because there is something stuck in your throat, and someone wants to kill Miaomiao, you can't let go, so things will be unhappy!"
Bai Yutang smiled faintly, thinking that Zhao Pu could understand it quite well, and sighed, "The so-called enemy is in the clear and I am in the dark, so I am afraid of being tricked."
"Then catch the bad guys." The fourth son folded his arms and helped out with ideas.
"But the key point is that we don't even know who the enemy is." Bai Yutang frowned, "The blood mirage of the mausoleum, no one knows what the heavenly secret Lin Chanzi was talking about back then."
The two of them were talking, when suddenly...something was thrown from outside the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion, like a piece of bamboo or wood, it fell on the open space not far away.
Stone found out, ran over and took it back to the fourth son.
The fourth son tilted his head to look, "Who threw something into the Kaifeng mansion's yard?"
Bai Yutang reached out to pick it up, and saw that it was an ordinary piece of bamboo with some patterns carved on it.Bai Yutang picked it up and examined it carefully, frowning—the pattern looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.After thinking for a while, Bai Yutang thought of some clues. On the map of Weeping Blood in the Mausoleum, the boat that the Mirage Lord was sitting on seemed to have bamboo decorations carved with these patterns. Could it be that they got off the boat?
Feeling that this seemed to indicate something, Bai Yutang turned the bamboo piece upside down, and saw a few words on it - five miles of woods outside the city, come alone.
Bai Yutang frowned and got up.
"Hey!" The fourth son hugged his leg, raised his face and puffed his cheeks, and signaled - don't go alone!
Bai Yutang handed the bamboo piece to him, "I'll go first, you'll give it to Zhan Zhao later."
"What if there is danger? Is it a trap?" The fourth son was worried.
Bai Yutang smiled, "At least there is a clue."
The fourth son disapproved, Bai Yutang patted him, "Remember, give it to Zhan Zhao after half a stick of incense."
The fourth son, the landlord, might as well, "Then what if something happens to you? Miaomiao will be angry."
"Don't worry." Bai Yutang picked him up and put him on the stone stool, put down the wine jar, turned and left.
The fourth son held the bamboo slices and thought on the spot, how long will it take half a stick of incense...
In a blink of an eye, Bai Yutang disappeared in shock, and the fourth son was flustered, and finally got down on the ground and rushed into Jinzhao's yard.
Rushed into the house and handed the bamboo piece to Zhan Zhao, "Meow!"
Zhan Zhao accepted the bamboo piece he gave him in puzzlement, and frowned—he knew this, and it was Zhan Hao's notes.
"Who gave it?"
The fourth son pointed to the outside, "Just now in vain."
Zhan Zhao was surprised, "He went by himself?"
The fourth son nodded, Zhan Zhao clicked his tongue, picked up the giant que and chased him out.
Zhan Zhao disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the fourth son rushed back to the room with the stone, and gave the bamboo pieces to Gongsun and Zhao Pu.
……
On the outskirts of the city, in a bamboo forest fifteen miles away, Bai Yutang landed on a clearing, and there were two people in a gazebo not far ahead.
A man was standing at the door of the gazebo, looking at himself. He was wearing a mask, and his eyes had gloomy green light, like a beast at night.
Another person is sitting in the gazebo and seems to be drinking tea.
By the moonlight, Bai Yutang recognized his appearance, frowned, "Zhan Hao?"
Zhan Hao looked back at him, and smiled slightly, "I clearly wrote five miles out of the city, how did I know it was fifteen miles so quickly?"
Bai Yutang walked a little closer to the pavilion, confirmed that the one inside was indeed Zhan Hao, and replied, "Ten of the five are very correct."
"Hehe, you are really smart and careful." Zhan Hao nodded appreciatively.
When Bai Yutang approached the gazebo, the mask worn by the green-eyed man was already clearly visible, it was the one who wanted to kill Zhan Zhao last night. "Bai Yutang frowned slightly, Zhan Hao doesn't really want to kill Zhan Zhao, does he? Thanks to Zhan Zhao trusting him so much.
"What do you want me for?" Bai Yutang asked him.
"I heard that you and Zhao are getting engaged, so I'm here to give you a gift." As she spoke, she raised her hand, and a long and narrow box flew out.Bai Yutang reached out to take it, but he didn't open it... He still remembered Zhan Zhao's first lesson.
"Hehe." Zhan Hao stood up and leaned against the railing, "Bai Yutang, do you believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world?"
Bai Yutang shook his head, "I don't believe it."
"What about fate?"
Bai Yutang continued to shake his head, "It depends on human effort."
"Oh?" Zhan Hao crossed his arms and asked slowly, "Wu Buxi came back to life and became immortal, Xie Baihua's eyes changed color and he came back from death, don't you think it's miraculous?"
"The miracle is only due to the efficacy of the medicine, and has nothing to do with ghosts and gods." Bai Yutang asked him in turn, "Why did you kill Zhan Zhao?"
Zhan Hao smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed at his eyes lightly, "Some things, you have to die once and come back to life before you can see clearly and understand. This is the fate of the mirage family."
Bai Yutang thought it was funny, "Zhan Zhao is not someone in your mirage, he was born in Changzhou Prefecture, his parents have a clear background, it has nothing to do with you."
"Fate is like this, struggling is useless." Zhan Hao smiled, "I just remind you that if you want to go against the sky, you and Zhan Zhao are far from enough."
Bai Yutang frowned, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Zhan Hao smiled meaningfully, "The other two pictures of Weeping Blood at the Mausoleum are in that box, but even if you got them, what you know is just a drop in the bucket."
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Hao, "The real secret?"
Zhan Zhao smiled, "As long as Zhan Zhao dies once, all the secrets can be solved."
Bai Yutang's face darkened slightly, and he looked at Zhan Hao with a somewhat frightening look.
"Oh? Such a scary expression." Zhan Hao laughed, "Remember what I said, there are too many people in this world who want to kill Zhan Zhao...Because that big secret is related to the destiny of heaven, you are willing to do it for him, and with him." The whole world is an enemy?"
Hearing these words, Bai Yutang was puzzled in his heart—Zhan Zhao's life and death were related to the fate of the heavenly tribulation?What do you mean... Is it implying that the cat will come back from the dead like Xie Baihua, Wu Bu'ai and others, and remember some very important secrets?
Bai Yutang asked Zhan Hao, "What are you planning?"
"You haven't answered my question yet." Zhan Hao asked earnestly, "Would you like to be an enemy of the world for Zhan Zhao?"
Bai Yutang sneered, "Do you think I'm afraid of becoming an enemy of the world? What is the world?"
With a smile on his face, Zhan Hao walked to the front of the pavilion and said to Bai Yutang in a low voice, "Back then the mirage was burned and the holy tree sank in the sea, but it didn't die in the end."
Bai Yutang's heart skipped a beat, isn't that holy tree a tree that grows many strange fruits?It's all over with a fire.
"For those who have won the holy wood, see the mirage again... Do you think the mirage is just an ordinary island?" Zhan Hao waggled his fingers lightly and clicked his tongue twice, "No! There is a secret about the fate of the catastrophe hidden there , whoever wins the mirage wins the world."
After speaking, the two heard a gust of wind in the forest.
The corners of Zhan Hao's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled at Bai Yutang, "Only by breaking the precepts can Zhan Zhao be saved, and only by killing Zhan Zhao can we know the catastrophe. This is fate, we will meet later."
After finishing speaking, he quickly flashed into the dark forest together with the masked man.
Bai Yutang kept staring at the two of them, looking at the lightness kung fu of the masked man, and suddenly realized—it's just that the mask is the same style, but the lightness kung fu is different!This... doesn't seem to be the person who wanted to kill Zhan Zhao in the woods that day.
Bai Yutang was puzzled—what was the purpose of Zhan Hao's trip?Rather than saying that he had any purpose, or what he got, it would be better to say that he sent himself something and reminded himself that Zhan Zhao's life and death were the key, so many people wanted to kill him.When you are with Zhan Zhao, you must be prepared to be an enemy of the world. It is better to say that he speaks bad words and does good deeds rather than saying that he came with bad intentions... Is this person an enemy or a friend?What is the purpose?Why, do you have to act in secret behind Zhan Zhao's back?
He was thinking to himself when Zhan Zhao hurried out from the forest, "Yutang!"
Bai Yutang looked back at him.
Zhan Zhao grabbed him and looked him up, down, left, and right, he was relieved to be sure that he was fine, and then his expression changed, "You actually got rid of me, you..."
Seeing that he was going to blow his hair, Bai Yutang quickly showed him the box, "Look at this, cat."
Zhan Zhao blinked and stared at the box, "What is this?"
"Your elder brother gave..."
"Have you seen him?" Zhan Zhao immediately looked around, "Where are the others?"
"He left as soon as you came."
"What?!" Zhan Zhao scowled, "What the hell is he doing to give you this box? What else did he say?"
"Well... say congratulations on our wedding or something."
"Nonsense." Zhan Zhao felt that Bai Yutang was hiding something, "Be serious, what did he say?"
Bai Yutang thought for a while, and said, "He said that inside the box are the other two pictures of the Weeping Blood of Lingshan Mountain."
Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Really?"
Bai Yutang nodded, "He also said that there are limited clues on the Mausoleum Weeping Blood Map, and there are still many secrets waiting for us to investigate."
"that's it?"
Bai Yutang nodded, "He also said that you might be in danger, let me protect you."
Zhan Zhao was stunned, "He really said that?"
"Hmm... the tone is not as good as mine, but the meaning is similar." Bai Yutang shrugged.
Zhan Zhao sighed, and looked at Bai Yutang unhappy, "You didn't hide it from me, did you?"
"No." Bai Yutang firmly shook his head.
Zhan Zhao took out the bamboo raft, although he was unhappy that Bai Yutang had taken the risk without telling him, but hearing him say that the purpose of Zhan Hao's trip seemed to be to remind him that he intended to do good, he felt better.
"You're pretty quick." Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao walked back together.
"It's a good thing you figured it out. Let Xiao Sizi give me the bamboo board, and run away first. I heard him yelling about five miles out of the city, so I ran over quickly, and only remembered to look carefully at the sign after a waste of time."
Bai Yutang smiled and asked, "Mao'er, did that green-eyed man or ghost-faced man you saw when you were a child threatened you, or acted like he wanted to kill you?"
"No." Zhan Zhao shook his head, "And he seems to be very afraid of Big Brother, I just thought he was a brat... Besides, I was very courageous when I was a child, so I have nothing to be afraid of."
"I see." Bai Yutang nodded, sure enough the ghost-masked man was not the same person as last night.
The two were walking back when Zhao Pu brought the shadow guards over, "Are you all right?"
Zhan Zhao shook his head, wanting to talk about the box, but Zhao Pu pointed behind him, "I found something in the woods."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, followed by Zhao Pu, and saw a dead body lying on the ground, and Gongsun was doing an autopsy.
Zhan Zhao approached and found that lying on the ground was the green-eyed masked man who escaped that night. He was pierced through the heart with a sword and was dead.His eyes stared straight at the night sky, his eyes were empty, but he could still see that his pupils were green, and the color was already very pale.
Bai Yutang frowned, who killed him?As they said that, they looked at Zhan Zhao, and both of them thought of a person at the same time - Zhan Hao?
"I also found some things in front." Zhe Ying took everyone to look, and saw a cave not far away, the entrance of the cave, Xu Qing and Han Zhang were leading people to move things out, only to see that there were big bundles Booming thunder.
Ziying opened a blueprint and showed it to Zhan Zhao and the others, "I found it on the masked man, the topographic map of Tianya Valley, and I have drawn various places where the thunderbolts are buried."
Zhan Zhao and the others finally understood. It turned out that this was his plan. He planned to blow up the Central Plains Wulin on the day of the Tianya Valley Wulin Conference and caught him off guard.At that time, there will be a thunderstorm, not to mention countless casualties, maybe there will be stampedes and crowds, and even more people will die. It really is a vicious heart!
A bamboo board allowed everyone in Kaifeng Mansion to end the catastrophe that was in front of them without any effort. Everyone was a little suspicious for a while, whether Zhan Hao was an enemy or a friend. At least now, everyone is not as disgusted with him as he was at the beginning .
Back in the mansion, Bai Yutang opened the box. There was no trap inside, only two scrolls. After opening it, it was indeed a picture of Weeping Blood at the Mausoleum, which matched the previous two very well.
The drawing was turned over, and everyone continued to read the story that followed.
It turns out that the mirage master's ship encountered a group of strange pirates in the storm.These pirates are all wearing masks with ferocious faces, holding all kinds of weird weapons and hijacking ships.
The other boats fled in all directions, floating in the sea.
After the mirage master's ship was hijacked, the mirage master and several patriarchs were seriously injured and fell into the sea.When the mirage master was drifting along the water, he picked up a piece of wood, which looked like a thick branch.Holding onto the wood tightly, he drifted at sea for several days before being washed ashore.
He did not die, and found a hidden place in the mountains to live in, buried the wood in the soil, and carefully cultivated it.Finally, the wood grew slowly and became a small sapling.
The mirage master brought the saplings to a strange mountainous area, trekking through the jungle, wading across the river, and finally came to a high mountain.
He struggled to climb to the top of the mountain and planted the saplings.After the sapling was planted, the Holy Lord took out a dagger, cut off his finger, and painted something on the sapling with blood.Then, he looked at the slowly rising sun in the sky, as if he was in Yongchang and prayed. Finally, the sky and the earth changed color, and the sun was covered by thick clouds.
In the darkness, the mirage master killed himself and watered the sapling with blood.Afterwards, the holy tree gradually grew, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and produced many fruits.
With the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the fruits on the trees fall one after another and fester in the soil.
I don't know how long the time has passed, but suddenly one day, a hand stretched out from the soil under the tree.
Afterwards, a young man crawled out. His appearance was exactly the same as that of the Holy Master back then, only younger, and his golden eyes were still piercing.
He went down the mountain and disappeared...
The picture ended here, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay - what kind of situation is this?
"Those masked people are very similar to the pirates who hijacked the phantom ship back then." Zhan Zhao said, "Could it have something to do with it?"
Everyone felt strange, in short, these four pictures contained countless secrets, waiting for careful investigation.
This strange case has been solved, the Tianya Valley Conference has been officially cancelled, and all the martial arts heroes of the Central Plains have left Kaifeng mansion one after another.Everything was calmed down, and the fear of the people in the Jianghu towards the Tianmo Palace dissipated, and the Kaifeng Mansion once again returned to the tranquility of the past.
Ten days later, Kaifeng Mansion held a lively engagement banquet for the Zhanbai family. It is said that the banquet was very lively. Yinhou and Tianzun of Tianmo Palace became witnesses. Parents of both parties attended the ceremony. Not many people were invited to watch the ceremony. It was my family who turned the world upside down.On the night of the engagement, it seemed that many accidents happened, which made all the fuss.
But anyway, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are officially engaged.
Extra Story: Rat and Cat's Engagement Live Record (01) Before and After [-] All kinds of thoughts about the past
(Just to clarify, "Live Records of Rat and Cat's Engagement" is a very, very long episode. It will describe the process of Rat and Cat's engagement in detail, including the past of the older generation and the memories of Rat and Cat when they were young. , the scene of the first meeting, and the details of the wedding banquet, the first time (the river crab is fierce, I will try to write it beautifully), and a lot of other messy gossip about the mouse cat and this big family. Because it is too long, I will In the form of extra episodes, the entire dating story will be interspersed and updated without affecting the progress of the main text. Meh, the extra episodes were originally posted as separate chapters, but there was a small mistake today. I posted it by mistake when updating the previous chapter Twice, because the number of words in the V article can only be added but not subtracted, which caused repeated deductions for some packages, so I added the number of words here for the first update of the episode, and I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone~~~ Cover your face and crawl away. )
After the case was won, Kaifeng Mansion returned to calm.Of course, this tranquility is only for people outside the Kaifeng mansion, but inside the mansion... the bustle is still there.
"In-laws." A large sheet of red paper was laid out in front of Zhan Tianxing's table, and on it were densely packed with ants crawling to write various expenses for the wedding banquet, all of which needed to be purchased.Holding the red paper, he asked Bai Xia if there was anything else he wanted to buy.
The two were still debating whether to buy a separate property in Kaifeng for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, or to buy a small island near Xingkong Island according to their wish?Or buy both?
"Hmm..." Bai Xia stroked her chin and looked carefully, "Are one hundred candles enough? How about another hundred?"
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were sitting beside them drinking, saying in unison, "Why do you need so many candles? Burn the house!"
"Hey!" Bao Zheng quickly waved his hand, "It's best to burn the candles for the engagement banquet for three days and three nights. My Kaifeng mansion is full of hostility, and there are many dead people in the city these days, so it's just a good time to celebrate."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang muttered, "Isn't it lighting candles to attract ghosts?"
"Good luck!" Pang Yu waved his hands aside, "You two should say more good things!"
Bao Yan also nodded.
"Zhao Zhao, can you see if there is anything missing?" Zhan Tianxing showed Zhan Zhao the red paper.
Zhan Zhao was dizzy when he saw the crowd, "So many things? It's just engagement wine, and it's not a real marriage banquet! Don't be so extravagant!"
"Then you have to focus on it!" Bai Xia said seriously, "Life is only once!"
"Hey." Yin Lanci was choosing the fabric pattern, and bumped Yin Lanci with his elbow, "This time the wine is placed in Kaifeng Mansion, so it's your Yutang married in?"
"Why?" Lu Xueer quit, "What's the big deal, go to the White Mansion and marry my Yutang!"
"My family Zhao and your family Yutang are both men, why should your family marry?"
"Yes, you will also say, why should your family marry if they are all men?!"
The two mothers were arguing there, insisting on arguing about the right and wrong, saying that their son married.
On the side, Yin Hou and Tianzun were playing chess, Yue Yang and Tang Shitou were practicing, and the courtyard was noisy.
The fourth son is naturally indispensable for the wedding. It is said that the two adults of Zhanbai will invite him to drink matchmaker wine, so the fourth son is so beautiful these days that the fourth son is smiling.
Just as they were arguing, the prince in the palace came to deliver an order, saying that Zhao Zhen hosted a banquet for everyone tonight. In addition, he also wanted to meet Tianzun and Yinhou himself, as well as relatives of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, so everyone was invited into the palace. They also prepared engagement gifts for the two of them.
Everyone agreed, and they just waited for Tianzun and Yinhou. These two are also considered to be high-ranking people, so I don't know if they want to go.
Yin Hou raised his eyebrows indifferently, "Just go."
Tianzun also nodded and felt nothing.
Lu Xueer rummaged through the box and took out a lot of clothes. Bai Yutang saw her trying on clothes there, and Liang Sisi said, "Why are you so good-looking? You're already married."
Lu Xueer turned her head and gave her precious son a supercilious look, "Ha, you underestimated your mother? I heard that Concubine Pang in the palace is the most beautiful woman in the world, I can't lose, can I?"
Yin Lanci said sarcastic remarks from the side, "You are young, your son is married, what's the comparison."
"Yin Lanci, how dare you say I'm old and ugly?!" Lu Xueer turned her face instantly.
"Where did I say that!"
"You want to fight?"
"Afraid of you?!"
……
"Boom".
Everyone looked back, only to see Lu Xueer kicked the stone stool and started fighting with Yin Lanci.
The fourth son pulled Gongsun, "Daddy, the aunts and aunts are fighting!"
Gongsun waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, we only fight when we are in a good relationship."
Lu Xueer and Yin Lanci fought fiercely, from the yard to the roof, no one cared, their husband, son and father were all on their own.
"Cat." Bai Yutang winked at Zhan Zhao, "Going out for a drink?"
"Okay." Zhan Zhao put down his things and stood up.
Pang Yu and Bao Yan also said to go, Zhao Pu took Xiao Liang to the barracks, Gongsun was going to the pharmacy, and asked everyone to bring the fourth son with them.
Tianzun and Yinhou glanced at each other, and they also wanted to follow for a drink.
After leaving the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, Yin Hou looked around. He had been hiding in Kaifeng and hadn't formally visited the street yet. It was indeed very lively!
Of course, more people were watching him.
Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Pang Yu and Bao Yan are often seen, and the fourth son is the mascot of Quankaifeng. Everyone knows him, but Tianzun and Yinhou are very unfamiliar...
In the eyes of everyone, these two are only 40 to [-] years old, with outstanding appearance and personable appearance, one is arrogant and domineering and the other is gentle, and they are also handsome characters.Seeing the extraordinary appearance of the two people, talking and laughing with Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang and the others, everyone guessed that they must be people with some background.
Of course, ordinary people, who would think of these two people as old men over 100 years old?
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked in front, chatting with each other.
"Cat." Bai Yutang asked him, "Brother and sister-in-law will be here in two days, and the people from Tianmo Palace won't be living on the boat, so they will live with them in the White Mansion?"
"Okay." Zhan Zhao nodded.
Behind him, Bao Yan held the fourth son with one hand, and Pang Yu held a few notes in his hand, and was reading them, laughing as he read them.
"What is this?" Bao Yan leaned over to look curiously, and the fourth son also wanted to tiptoe to look.
"The two aunts who passed by just gave it to me." Pang Yu looked behind him, and told Bao Yan in a low voice, "I asked if Tianzun and Yinhou were married and had children? Would you like to introduce something. "
Bao Yan opened his mouth wide, "Oh? Are you two lucky at such an advanced age?"
Pang Yu shook the note in his hand, "They were all sent from the homes of famous ladies."
"Tsk tsk." Bao Yan praised, "As expected of a famous family!"
Pang Yu understood. If Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were famous, then they were indeed above the famous.
The fourth son raised his face to look at the two, and while listening, turned his head to look at Yin Hou and Tianzun behind him, tilting his head, as if he was thinking about something.
Tianzun walked two steps, saw a painting booth in front, and asked, "Is there any painting by Wu Daozi?"
"Yes!" The stall owner took out one and lied to him, "100 taels."
"Oh? It's not expensive!" Tianzun wanted to pay for money, Yin Hou went up and grabbed him and took him elsewhere, "You are sick! How could there be Wu Daozi at the roadside stall?"
"Why not? Maybe there are some hidden gems..."
Yin Hou rolled his eyes at him, "It's almost like a pig left in the sea, you prodigal."
Tianzun ignored him, walked a few steps, saw someone writing, and went to ask if there was any Wang Xizhi, the other party offered 500 taels for a single copy, and he wanted to pay for the money again, but was dragged away by Yin Hou.
Tianzun was very depressed.
When everyone arrived at the downstairs of Taibai's residence, they saw two tall carriages parked at the door. The carriages were strange in style, and they didn't seem to be in the Central Plains.
But Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't mind, there were a lot of merchants coming and going in Kaifeng Mansion.
Everyone came in and asked the buddy for a private room.
Xiao Liu came to entertain with a smile, "The private room on the third floor is still reserved, so I guess you will come today."
Yinhou and Tianzun stepped into the lobby of Taibai Residence, attracting many peeks.
It's strange to say, today Taibaiju doesn't know what happened, the first floor is full of aunts and aunts, and there are a few young ones, but they are all women.Seeing Yinhou and Tianzun, his eyes glowed green with excitement, and they all whispered to each other.
"Oh, it's as rich and handsome as Xiaoyu said!"
"Isn't it? I heard that the aunt in the kitchen of Kaifeng Mansion has started to put on makeup these days!"
"Yo! You two are so handsome."
"It is said that he is still the supreme martial artist!"
"Tsk tsk!"
"Hey." Pang Yu whispered to Bao Yan, "Don't tell me, these two elders are more popular than Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang."
Bao Yan also nodded, "Sure enough, this world is still dominated by housewives."
The fourth son held Bao Yan's hand, raised his face, and after hearing the two finished speaking, he looked back and saw that Tianzun was attracted by a fake famous painting hanging on the wall, and Yin Hou dragged him upstairs. Dragging up, scolding him while dragging, "Don't waste your money, okay!"
Finally, everyone went upstairs and entered the private room.
Xiao Liu wiped the table and said, "Master Wu Zhan, recently Taibaiju has hired a new cook who is good at cooking Sichuan cuisine, do you want something spicy?"
"Think!" Zhan Zhao's eyes brightened, and Pang Yu slapped the table, "I want authentic Sichuan cuisine! The kind that's spicy and numbing!"
"Of course." Xiao Liu reported a list of dishes, and everyone ordered a table of Sichuan dishes, ready to have a spicy meal.
"Can little four eat spicy food?" Bao Yan was still more careful. Seeing that little four didn't talk all the way today, he thought he was not in good health. "Can I order you a stewed egg with sea bass? What do you want to eat?"
The fourth son scratched his head, "Huh?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also noticed that the fourth son was in a daze. Although he was very dazed, he was rarely in a daze, as if he was thinking about his thoughts.
"What's the matter?" Pang Yu asked him, "Brother Zhan and Brother Bai are getting married, shouldn't you, a little matchmaker, retire? Enjoy your life and don't always try to match others, or else you should get married first. Has Ryoko done it?"
words
"I think it might be a bluff." Zhao Pu took a teacup and shook his head, "To be honest, even if a large number of soldiers and horses went to encircle and suppress those people in the rivers and lakes, there would be no bloodshed. So what if the real blood demon comes out? ? Master Ruyun is afraid of him alone? What's more, Wu Bu'e has been arrested."
Gongsun also nodded, "What kind of poison and poisonous smoke, I have calculated it. The wind direction in Tianya Valley is chaotic and strong these days, so it is unlikely to be fatal in one blow. Besides, it is quite convenient to evacuate from Tianya Valley, so it shouldn't be like this." aspect."
Everyone was frowning, thinking there.
"Could it be that they want to spread some news?" Pang Yu asked, "All the heroes of the world were there that day. If there is any news to say there, it would be the best!"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, it was possible, but it was a bit unnecessary.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's audience were discussing the Tianya Valley Martial Arts Conference there, and suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, little uncle Shan." Zhan Zhao tugged at Wu Bushan, "Who is the one with the green eyes?"
Wu Bushan frowned, "That..."
Yue Yang leaned over, "It's a bit different from mine."
"Xiao Yuezi doesn't shine at night." Tang Shitou also said, "It's not the same."
"Yue Yang has blue eyes." Wu Bu'e explained, "He is not one of the eight eyes, but the queen of the saints."
"Saint?" Everyone was curious.
"Huh?" Wu Bu'e nodded, "Foresight, he knows a lot of spells, he is a mysterious existence, I am not familiar with him."
Everyone became more and more curious.
"As for the green eyes, it might be from the fish race." Wu Bu'e shook his head, "I haven't been in the mirage for a long time, and I'm a blood race, and the various races in the mirage rarely communicate with each other... In my memory, the green-eyed The Fish Clan go out as often as the Blood Clan."
"Cat, that man really wants to kill you." Bai Yutang reminded Zhan Zhao firmly.
"There's also that white-faced one." Yin Hou also nodded, "It seems that someone is going all out to kill you. Have you offended anyone?"
Zhan Zhao folded his arms and shook his head, "I don't think so, I don't know anyone with green eyes..."
Having said this, Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, as if he had remembered something, he put his chin on his head and began to lose his mind.
"Cat?" Bai Yutang asked him in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"I remembered one thing." Zhan Zhao frowned, "I seem to have seen a monster with green eyes and a big white face when I was a child."
"What?" Yin Lanci and Zhan Tianxing looked at each other, and they both came over to ask Zhan Zhao, "You met when you were young? How old were you?"
"Well, when we were three or four years old and we were living together in a mansion." Zhan Zhao nodded, as if he had indeed remembered, "When I was a child, I had nightmares at night... In the middle of the night, I saw someone at the door looking out of the window, sneaking around. Yes, through the paper window, I can still see two faint green lights. At that time, I told my eldest brother that it was haunted, and my eldest brother said it was a dream."
Hearing these words, Bai Yutang was troubled by Zhan Zhao sharing a room with Zhan Hao when he was a child. Even though they were both under ten years old at that time, it was still awkward.
Zhan Zhao noticed his expression and emphasized, "I was three or four years old at that time!"
"Then what happened later? How many times has that ghost appeared?" Yin Lanci frowned, "I haven't heard you mention it, and Haoer hasn't mentioned it either."
"I saw it for several nights in a row, so I gradually felt that it was not a dream. Before I went to sleep that night, I deliberately opened the window to see if it was a dream... Sure enough, the 'ghost' came again, Looking around the window, I clearly saw a ghost face and a pair of green eyes." Zhan Zhao added, "Whether the ghost face is the same as the person who wanted to kill me before, I can't remember. So I cried out and said that I wanted to catch ghosts. The eldest brother ran to the window fiercely, and the man ran away."
Everyone was speechless. Zhan Zhao seemed to be of two different types from the fourth son when he was a child. Didn't the fourth son cry in fright when he saw this ghost?Zhan Zhao jumped up to fight ghosts?Sure enough, three years old see old.
Zhan Zhao thought about it again, "The green-eyed ghost never came again. My brother kept telling me that he was a wild cat, so his eyes were green, but I could see it clearly. It was a human figure. Brother Maybe you're afraid that I'm afraid, so you lied to me."
"What about the white face?" Yin Lanci asked.
"Oh, it was one night in summer not long after the green-eyed monster disappeared." Zhan Zhao said, "I was enjoying the shade in the yard at night, and when I went to the backyard, I saw my brother Zhan Zhao talking to someone at the back door. I didn't know that person." See clearly, thinking about it now, I just thought his face was white and big, like a ghost face. As soon as I went, the eldest brother let the man go, and then closed the door. I asked him who it was, and he said it was a watchman watchman, let us watch out for the candles."
Everyone looked at each other, there is no watchman coming to tell you to be careful, it's obviously Zhan Hao's perfunctory.
"Speaking of which, those people really have something to do with Zhan Hao..." Pang Yu thought for a while, then asked Zhan Zhao, "Isn't that why your elder brother wants to kill you?"
Bao Yan glared at him, and Pang Yu quickly shut up and laughed dryly.
"No." Yin Lanci shook her head resolutely.
It's just that everyone has doubts in their hearts - Zhan Hao is not much older than Zhan Zhao, so it turns out that he has been in contact with these people since he was so young.
Yin Hou looked at Zhan Tianxing and Yin Lanci helplessly, "You two are parents, you really control them loosely, and you don't even know who your son is making friends with."
The Zhan family's parents were also slumped, regretting that they hadn't kept an eye on them back then.
"I don't blame my father and mother. I used to be like a tail with my elder brother, and I didn't find anything." Zhan Zhao frowned and thought to himself, "Now that I think about it, some weird people often come to my elder brother. When I was young, I thought it was him. My strange friend, he went to learn martial arts when he grew up, and never asked about it."
That night, Zhan Zhao hugged the pillow and leaned on the wicker chair, thinking about the events of that year.After all, it has been too long, and his memory is very vague when he was young. He only remembers people with green eyes and red eyes. He has white shade, but he can see things very clearly.
Bai Yutang went back to the White Mansion and brought a jar of good wine, knowing that Zhan Zhao must be very preoccupied tonight, so he planned to get drunk and sing with him at night.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the yard, he met the fourth son.
"Baibai." Xiaosi held a tray in his hand, "Jiujiu bought sauced beef."
Bai Yutang saw that it was not bad, and it happened to be served for drinking, so he nodded, thanked the fourth son, and took the plate.
The fourth son looked up and saw Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice, "Everyone is frowning these days."
Bai Yutang put down the wine jar and sat on the stone bench at the gate of the yard, while the fourth son climbed up the stone bench and sat beside him.
"Tomorrow is the Tianya Valley Conference." Bai Yutang frowned, "Master Bao seems to have decided to cancel the conference to avoid any loss of life."
"It's okay not to open." The fourth son clapped his hands, "Should we prepare for the engagement banquet? Isn't everything over?"
"It's not all over yet." Bai Yutang saw Shitou come out to rub his legs, so he walked over to pinch his ears, and Shitou hummed in enjoyment.
"It's a good thing if this meeting doesn't happen. It can prevent further lives, but if it's open, we may follow the clues to find clues." Bai Yutang shook his head. Things are stuck in the throat, and it is not fun to do any other things!"
The fourth son listened to Bai Yutang talking to himself, and nodded with a smile, "Jiujiu also said the same."
"Oh?" Bai Yutang looked at him with great interest, "He also wants to hold the Tianya Valley Conference?"
"I just asked Dad, why is your engagement banquet still not held, and Jiujiu said, it's because there is something stuck in your throat, and someone wants to kill Miaomiao, you can't let go, so things will be unhappy!"
Bai Yutang smiled faintly, thinking that Zhao Pu could understand it quite well, and sighed, "The so-called enemy is in the clear and I am in the dark, so I am afraid of being tricked."
"Then catch the bad guys." The fourth son folded his arms and helped out with ideas.
"But the key point is that we don't even know who the enemy is." Bai Yutang frowned, "The blood mirage of the mausoleum, no one knows what the heavenly secret Lin Chanzi was talking about back then."
The two of them were talking, when suddenly...something was thrown from outside the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion, like a piece of bamboo or wood, it fell on the open space not far away.
Stone found out, ran over and took it back to the fourth son.
The fourth son tilted his head to look, "Who threw something into the Kaifeng mansion's yard?"
Bai Yutang reached out to pick it up, and saw that it was an ordinary piece of bamboo with some patterns carved on it.Bai Yutang picked it up and examined it carefully, frowning—the pattern looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.After thinking for a while, Bai Yutang thought of some clues. On the map of Weeping Blood in the Mausoleum, the boat that the Mirage Lord was sitting on seemed to have bamboo decorations carved with these patterns. Could it be that they got off the boat?
Feeling that this seemed to indicate something, Bai Yutang turned the bamboo piece upside down, and saw a few words on it - five miles of woods outside the city, come alone.
Bai Yutang frowned and got up.
"Hey!" The fourth son hugged his leg, raised his face and puffed his cheeks, and signaled - don't go alone!
Bai Yutang handed the bamboo piece to him, "I'll go first, you'll give it to Zhan Zhao later."
"What if there is danger? Is it a trap?" The fourth son was worried.
Bai Yutang smiled, "At least there is a clue."
The fourth son disapproved, Bai Yutang patted him, "Remember, give it to Zhan Zhao after half a stick of incense."
The fourth son, the landlord, might as well, "Then what if something happens to you? Miaomiao will be angry."
"Don't worry." Bai Yutang picked him up and put him on the stone stool, put down the wine jar, turned and left.
The fourth son held the bamboo slices and thought on the spot, how long will it take half a stick of incense...
In a blink of an eye, Bai Yutang disappeared in shock, and the fourth son was flustered, and finally got down on the ground and rushed into Jinzhao's yard.
Rushed into the house and handed the bamboo piece to Zhan Zhao, "Meow!"
Zhan Zhao accepted the bamboo piece he gave him in puzzlement, and frowned—he knew this, and it was Zhan Hao's notes.
"Who gave it?"
The fourth son pointed to the outside, "Just now in vain."
Zhan Zhao was surprised, "He went by himself?"
The fourth son nodded, Zhan Zhao clicked his tongue, picked up the giant que and chased him out.
Zhan Zhao disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the fourth son rushed back to the room with the stone, and gave the bamboo pieces to Gongsun and Zhao Pu.
……
On the outskirts of the city, in a bamboo forest fifteen miles away, Bai Yutang landed on a clearing, and there were two people in a gazebo not far ahead.
A man was standing at the door of the gazebo, looking at himself. He was wearing a mask, and his eyes had gloomy green light, like a beast at night.
Another person is sitting in the gazebo and seems to be drinking tea.
By the moonlight, Bai Yutang recognized his appearance, frowned, "Zhan Hao?"
Zhan Hao looked back at him, and smiled slightly, "I clearly wrote five miles out of the city, how did I know it was fifteen miles so quickly?"
Bai Yutang walked a little closer to the pavilion, confirmed that the one inside was indeed Zhan Hao, and replied, "Ten of the five are very correct."
"Hehe, you are really smart and careful." Zhan Hao nodded appreciatively.
When Bai Yutang approached the gazebo, the mask worn by the green-eyed man was already clearly visible, it was the one who wanted to kill Zhan Zhao last night. "Bai Yutang frowned slightly, Zhan Hao doesn't really want to kill Zhan Zhao, does he? Thanks to Zhan Zhao trusting him so much.
"What do you want me for?" Bai Yutang asked him.
"I heard that you and Zhao are getting engaged, so I'm here to give you a gift." As she spoke, she raised her hand, and a long and narrow box flew out.Bai Yutang reached out to take it, but he didn't open it... He still remembered Zhan Zhao's first lesson.
"Hehe." Zhan Hao stood up and leaned against the railing, "Bai Yutang, do you believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world?"
Bai Yutang shook his head, "I don't believe it."
"What about fate?"
Bai Yutang continued to shake his head, "It depends on human effort."
"Oh?" Zhan Hao crossed his arms and asked slowly, "Wu Buxi came back to life and became immortal, Xie Baihua's eyes changed color and he came back from death, don't you think it's miraculous?"
"The miracle is only due to the efficacy of the medicine, and has nothing to do with ghosts and gods." Bai Yutang asked him in turn, "Why did you kill Zhan Zhao?"
Zhan Hao smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed at his eyes lightly, "Some things, you have to die once and come back to life before you can see clearly and understand. This is the fate of the mirage family."
Bai Yutang thought it was funny, "Zhan Zhao is not someone in your mirage, he was born in Changzhou Prefecture, his parents have a clear background, it has nothing to do with you."
"Fate is like this, struggling is useless." Zhan Hao smiled, "I just remind you that if you want to go against the sky, you and Zhan Zhao are far from enough."
Bai Yutang frowned, "What exactly do you want to say?"
Zhan Hao smiled meaningfully, "The other two pictures of Weeping Blood at the Mausoleum are in that box, but even if you got them, what you know is just a drop in the bucket."
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Hao, "The real secret?"
Zhan Zhao smiled, "As long as Zhan Zhao dies once, all the secrets can be solved."
Bai Yutang's face darkened slightly, and he looked at Zhan Hao with a somewhat frightening look.
"Oh? Such a scary expression." Zhan Hao laughed, "Remember what I said, there are too many people in this world who want to kill Zhan Zhao...Because that big secret is related to the destiny of heaven, you are willing to do it for him, and with him." The whole world is an enemy?"
Hearing these words, Bai Yutang was puzzled in his heart—Zhan Zhao's life and death were related to the fate of the heavenly tribulation?What do you mean... Is it implying that the cat will come back from the dead like Xie Baihua, Wu Bu'ai and others, and remember some very important secrets?
Bai Yutang asked Zhan Hao, "What are you planning?"
"You haven't answered my question yet." Zhan Hao asked earnestly, "Would you like to be an enemy of the world for Zhan Zhao?"
Bai Yutang sneered, "Do you think I'm afraid of becoming an enemy of the world? What is the world?"
With a smile on his face, Zhan Hao walked to the front of the pavilion and said to Bai Yutang in a low voice, "Back then the mirage was burned and the holy tree sank in the sea, but it didn't die in the end."
Bai Yutang's heart skipped a beat, isn't that holy tree a tree that grows many strange fruits?It's all over with a fire.
"For those who have won the holy wood, see the mirage again... Do you think the mirage is just an ordinary island?" Zhan Hao waggled his fingers lightly and clicked his tongue twice, "No! There is a secret about the fate of the catastrophe hidden there , whoever wins the mirage wins the world."
After speaking, the two heard a gust of wind in the forest.
The corners of Zhan Hao's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled at Bai Yutang, "Only by breaking the precepts can Zhan Zhao be saved, and only by killing Zhan Zhao can we know the catastrophe. This is fate, we will meet later."
After finishing speaking, he quickly flashed into the dark forest together with the masked man.
Bai Yutang kept staring at the two of them, looking at the lightness kung fu of the masked man, and suddenly realized—it's just that the mask is the same style, but the lightness kung fu is different!This... doesn't seem to be the person who wanted to kill Zhan Zhao in the woods that day.
Bai Yutang was puzzled—what was the purpose of Zhan Hao's trip?Rather than saying that he had any purpose, or what he got, it would be better to say that he sent himself something and reminded himself that Zhan Zhao's life and death were the key, so many people wanted to kill him.When you are with Zhan Zhao, you must be prepared to be an enemy of the world. It is better to say that he speaks bad words and does good deeds rather than saying that he came with bad intentions... Is this person an enemy or a friend?What is the purpose?Why, do you have to act in secret behind Zhan Zhao's back?
He was thinking to himself when Zhan Zhao hurried out from the forest, "Yutang!"
Bai Yutang looked back at him.
Zhan Zhao grabbed him and looked him up, down, left, and right, he was relieved to be sure that he was fine, and then his expression changed, "You actually got rid of me, you..."
Seeing that he was going to blow his hair, Bai Yutang quickly showed him the box, "Look at this, cat."
Zhan Zhao blinked and stared at the box, "What is this?"
"Your elder brother gave..."
"Have you seen him?" Zhan Zhao immediately looked around, "Where are the others?"
"He left as soon as you came."
"What?!" Zhan Zhao scowled, "What the hell is he doing to give you this box? What else did he say?"
"Well... say congratulations on our wedding or something."
"Nonsense." Zhan Zhao felt that Bai Yutang was hiding something, "Be serious, what did he say?"
Bai Yutang thought for a while, and said, "He said that inside the box are the other two pictures of the Weeping Blood of Lingshan Mountain."
Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Really?"
Bai Yutang nodded, "He also said that there are limited clues on the Mausoleum Weeping Blood Map, and there are still many secrets waiting for us to investigate."
"that's it?"
Bai Yutang nodded, "He also said that you might be in danger, let me protect you."
Zhan Zhao was stunned, "He really said that?"
"Hmm... the tone is not as good as mine, but the meaning is similar." Bai Yutang shrugged.
Zhan Zhao sighed, and looked at Bai Yutang unhappy, "You didn't hide it from me, did you?"
"No." Bai Yutang firmly shook his head.
Zhan Zhao took out the bamboo raft, although he was unhappy that Bai Yutang had taken the risk without telling him, but hearing him say that the purpose of Zhan Hao's trip seemed to be to remind him that he intended to do good, he felt better.
"You're pretty quick." Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao walked back together.
"It's a good thing you figured it out. Let Xiao Sizi give me the bamboo board, and run away first. I heard him yelling about five miles out of the city, so I ran over quickly, and only remembered to look carefully at the sign after a waste of time."
Bai Yutang smiled and asked, "Mao'er, did that green-eyed man or ghost-faced man you saw when you were a child threatened you, or acted like he wanted to kill you?"
"No." Zhan Zhao shook his head, "And he seems to be very afraid of Big Brother, I just thought he was a brat... Besides, I was very courageous when I was a child, so I have nothing to be afraid of."
"I see." Bai Yutang nodded, sure enough the ghost-masked man was not the same person as last night.
The two were walking back when Zhao Pu brought the shadow guards over, "Are you all right?"
Zhan Zhao shook his head, wanting to talk about the box, but Zhao Pu pointed behind him, "I found something in the woods."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, followed by Zhao Pu, and saw a dead body lying on the ground, and Gongsun was doing an autopsy.
Zhan Zhao approached and found that lying on the ground was the green-eyed masked man who escaped that night. He was pierced through the heart with a sword and was dead.His eyes stared straight at the night sky, his eyes were empty, but he could still see that his pupils were green, and the color was already very pale.
Bai Yutang frowned, who killed him?As they said that, they looked at Zhan Zhao, and both of them thought of a person at the same time - Zhan Hao?
"I also found some things in front." Zhe Ying took everyone to look, and saw a cave not far away, the entrance of the cave, Xu Qing and Han Zhang were leading people to move things out, only to see that there were big bundles Booming thunder.
Ziying opened a blueprint and showed it to Zhan Zhao and the others, "I found it on the masked man, the topographic map of Tianya Valley, and I have drawn various places where the thunderbolts are buried."
Zhan Zhao and the others finally understood. It turned out that this was his plan. He planned to blow up the Central Plains Wulin on the day of the Tianya Valley Wulin Conference and caught him off guard.At that time, there will be a thunderstorm, not to mention countless casualties, maybe there will be stampedes and crowds, and even more people will die. It really is a vicious heart!
A bamboo board allowed everyone in Kaifeng Mansion to end the catastrophe that was in front of them without any effort. Everyone was a little suspicious for a while, whether Zhan Hao was an enemy or a friend. At least now, everyone is not as disgusted with him as he was at the beginning .
Back in the mansion, Bai Yutang opened the box. There was no trap inside, only two scrolls. After opening it, it was indeed a picture of Weeping Blood at the Mausoleum, which matched the previous two very well.
The drawing was turned over, and everyone continued to read the story that followed.
It turns out that the mirage master's ship encountered a group of strange pirates in the storm.These pirates are all wearing masks with ferocious faces, holding all kinds of weird weapons and hijacking ships.
The other boats fled in all directions, floating in the sea.
After the mirage master's ship was hijacked, the mirage master and several patriarchs were seriously injured and fell into the sea.When the mirage master was drifting along the water, he picked up a piece of wood, which looked like a thick branch.Holding onto the wood tightly, he drifted at sea for several days before being washed ashore.
He did not die, and found a hidden place in the mountains to live in, buried the wood in the soil, and carefully cultivated it.Finally, the wood grew slowly and became a small sapling.
The mirage master brought the saplings to a strange mountainous area, trekking through the jungle, wading across the river, and finally came to a high mountain.
He struggled to climb to the top of the mountain and planted the saplings.After the sapling was planted, the Holy Lord took out a dagger, cut off his finger, and painted something on the sapling with blood.Then, he looked at the slowly rising sun in the sky, as if he was in Yongchang and prayed. Finally, the sky and the earth changed color, and the sun was covered by thick clouds.
In the darkness, the mirage master killed himself and watered the sapling with blood.Afterwards, the holy tree gradually grew, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and produced many fruits.
With the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the fruits on the trees fall one after another and fester in the soil.
I don't know how long the time has passed, but suddenly one day, a hand stretched out from the soil under the tree.
Afterwards, a young man crawled out. His appearance was exactly the same as that of the Holy Master back then, only younger, and his golden eyes were still piercing.
He went down the mountain and disappeared...
The picture ended here, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay - what kind of situation is this?
"Those masked people are very similar to the pirates who hijacked the phantom ship back then." Zhan Zhao said, "Could it have something to do with it?"
Everyone felt strange, in short, these four pictures contained countless secrets, waiting for careful investigation.
This strange case has been solved, the Tianya Valley Conference has been officially cancelled, and all the martial arts heroes of the Central Plains have left Kaifeng mansion one after another.Everything was calmed down, and the fear of the people in the Jianghu towards the Tianmo Palace dissipated, and the Kaifeng Mansion once again returned to the tranquility of the past.
Ten days later, Kaifeng Mansion held a lively engagement banquet for the Zhanbai family. It is said that the banquet was very lively. Yinhou and Tianzun of Tianmo Palace became witnesses. Parents of both parties attended the ceremony. Not many people were invited to watch the ceremony. It was my family who turned the world upside down.On the night of the engagement, it seemed that many accidents happened, which made all the fuss.
But anyway, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are officially engaged.
Extra Story: Rat and Cat's Engagement Live Record (01) Before and After [-] All kinds of thoughts about the past
(Just to clarify, "Live Records of Rat and Cat's Engagement" is a very, very long episode. It will describe the process of Rat and Cat's engagement in detail, including the past of the older generation and the memories of Rat and Cat when they were young. , the scene of the first meeting, and the details of the wedding banquet, the first time (the river crab is fierce, I will try to write it beautifully), and a lot of other messy gossip about the mouse cat and this big family. Because it is too long, I will In the form of extra episodes, the entire dating story will be interspersed and updated without affecting the progress of the main text. Meh, the extra episodes were originally posted as separate chapters, but there was a small mistake today. I posted it by mistake when updating the previous chapter Twice, because the number of words in the V article can only be added but not subtracted, which caused repeated deductions for some packages, so I added the number of words here for the first update of the episode, and I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone~~~ Cover your face and crawl away. )
After the case was won, Kaifeng Mansion returned to calm.Of course, this tranquility is only for people outside the Kaifeng mansion, but inside the mansion... the bustle is still there.
"In-laws." A large sheet of red paper was laid out in front of Zhan Tianxing's table, and on it were densely packed with ants crawling to write various expenses for the wedding banquet, all of which needed to be purchased.Holding the red paper, he asked Bai Xia if there was anything else he wanted to buy.
The two were still debating whether to buy a separate property in Kaifeng for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, or to buy a small island near Xingkong Island according to their wish?Or buy both?
"Hmm..." Bai Xia stroked her chin and looked carefully, "Are one hundred candles enough? How about another hundred?"
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were sitting beside them drinking, saying in unison, "Why do you need so many candles? Burn the house!"
"Hey!" Bao Zheng quickly waved his hand, "It's best to burn the candles for the engagement banquet for three days and three nights. My Kaifeng mansion is full of hostility, and there are many dead people in the city these days, so it's just a good time to celebrate."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang muttered, "Isn't it lighting candles to attract ghosts?"
"Good luck!" Pang Yu waved his hands aside, "You two should say more good things!"
Bao Yan also nodded.
"Zhao Zhao, can you see if there is anything missing?" Zhan Tianxing showed Zhan Zhao the red paper.
Zhan Zhao was dizzy when he saw the crowd, "So many things? It's just engagement wine, and it's not a real marriage banquet! Don't be so extravagant!"
"Then you have to focus on it!" Bai Xia said seriously, "Life is only once!"
"Hey." Yin Lanci was choosing the fabric pattern, and bumped Yin Lanci with his elbow, "This time the wine is placed in Kaifeng Mansion, so it's your Yutang married in?"
"Why?" Lu Xueer quit, "What's the big deal, go to the White Mansion and marry my Yutang!"
"My family Zhao and your family Yutang are both men, why should your family marry?"
"Yes, you will also say, why should your family marry if they are all men?!"
The two mothers were arguing there, insisting on arguing about the right and wrong, saying that their son married.
On the side, Yin Hou and Tianzun were playing chess, Yue Yang and Tang Shitou were practicing, and the courtyard was noisy.
The fourth son is naturally indispensable for the wedding. It is said that the two adults of Zhanbai will invite him to drink matchmaker wine, so the fourth son is so beautiful these days that the fourth son is smiling.
Just as they were arguing, the prince in the palace came to deliver an order, saying that Zhao Zhen hosted a banquet for everyone tonight. In addition, he also wanted to meet Tianzun and Yinhou himself, as well as relatives of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, so everyone was invited into the palace. They also prepared engagement gifts for the two of them.
Everyone agreed, and they just waited for Tianzun and Yinhou. These two are also considered to be high-ranking people, so I don't know if they want to go.
Yin Hou raised his eyebrows indifferently, "Just go."
Tianzun also nodded and felt nothing.
Lu Xueer rummaged through the box and took out a lot of clothes. Bai Yutang saw her trying on clothes there, and Liang Sisi said, "Why are you so good-looking? You're already married."
Lu Xueer turned her head and gave her precious son a supercilious look, "Ha, you underestimated your mother? I heard that Concubine Pang in the palace is the most beautiful woman in the world, I can't lose, can I?"
Yin Lanci said sarcastic remarks from the side, "You are young, your son is married, what's the comparison."
"Yin Lanci, how dare you say I'm old and ugly?!" Lu Xueer turned her face instantly.
"Where did I say that!"
"You want to fight?"
"Afraid of you?!"
……
"Boom".
Everyone looked back, only to see Lu Xueer kicked the stone stool and started fighting with Yin Lanci.
The fourth son pulled Gongsun, "Daddy, the aunts and aunts are fighting!"
Gongsun waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, we only fight when we are in a good relationship."
Lu Xueer and Yin Lanci fought fiercely, from the yard to the roof, no one cared, their husband, son and father were all on their own.
"Cat." Bai Yutang winked at Zhan Zhao, "Going out for a drink?"
"Okay." Zhan Zhao put down his things and stood up.
Pang Yu and Bao Yan also said to go, Zhao Pu took Xiao Liang to the barracks, Gongsun was going to the pharmacy, and asked everyone to bring the fourth son with them.
Tianzun and Yinhou glanced at each other, and they also wanted to follow for a drink.
After leaving the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, Yin Hou looked around. He had been hiding in Kaifeng and hadn't formally visited the street yet. It was indeed very lively!
Of course, more people were watching him.
Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Pang Yu and Bao Yan are often seen, and the fourth son is the mascot of Quankaifeng. Everyone knows him, but Tianzun and Yinhou are very unfamiliar...
In the eyes of everyone, these two are only 40 to [-] years old, with outstanding appearance and personable appearance, one is arrogant and domineering and the other is gentle, and they are also handsome characters.Seeing the extraordinary appearance of the two people, talking and laughing with Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang and the others, everyone guessed that they must be people with some background.
Of course, ordinary people, who would think of these two people as old men over 100 years old?
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked in front, chatting with each other.
"Cat." Bai Yutang asked him, "Brother and sister-in-law will be here in two days, and the people from Tianmo Palace won't be living on the boat, so they will live with them in the White Mansion?"
"Okay." Zhan Zhao nodded.
Behind him, Bao Yan held the fourth son with one hand, and Pang Yu held a few notes in his hand, and was reading them, laughing as he read them.
"What is this?" Bao Yan leaned over to look curiously, and the fourth son also wanted to tiptoe to look.
"The two aunts who passed by just gave it to me." Pang Yu looked behind him, and told Bao Yan in a low voice, "I asked if Tianzun and Yinhou were married and had children? Would you like to introduce something. "
Bao Yan opened his mouth wide, "Oh? Are you two lucky at such an advanced age?"
Pang Yu shook the note in his hand, "They were all sent from the homes of famous ladies."
"Tsk tsk." Bao Yan praised, "As expected of a famous family!"
Pang Yu understood. If Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were famous, then they were indeed above the famous.
The fourth son raised his face to look at the two, and while listening, turned his head to look at Yin Hou and Tianzun behind him, tilting his head, as if he was thinking about something.
Tianzun walked two steps, saw a painting booth in front, and asked, "Is there any painting by Wu Daozi?"
"Yes!" The stall owner took out one and lied to him, "100 taels."
"Oh? It's not expensive!" Tianzun wanted to pay for money, Yin Hou went up and grabbed him and took him elsewhere, "You are sick! How could there be Wu Daozi at the roadside stall?"
"Why not? Maybe there are some hidden gems..."
Yin Hou rolled his eyes at him, "It's almost like a pig left in the sea, you prodigal."
Tianzun ignored him, walked a few steps, saw someone writing, and went to ask if there was any Wang Xizhi, the other party offered 500 taels for a single copy, and he wanted to pay for the money again, but was dragged away by Yin Hou.
Tianzun was very depressed.
When everyone arrived at the downstairs of Taibai's residence, they saw two tall carriages parked at the door. The carriages were strange in style, and they didn't seem to be in the Central Plains.
But Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't mind, there were a lot of merchants coming and going in Kaifeng Mansion.
Everyone came in and asked the buddy for a private room.
Xiao Liu came to entertain with a smile, "The private room on the third floor is still reserved, so I guess you will come today."
Yinhou and Tianzun stepped into the lobby of Taibai Residence, attracting many peeks.
It's strange to say, today Taibaiju doesn't know what happened, the first floor is full of aunts and aunts, and there are a few young ones, but they are all women.Seeing Yinhou and Tianzun, his eyes glowed green with excitement, and they all whispered to each other.
"Oh, it's as rich and handsome as Xiaoyu said!"
"Isn't it? I heard that the aunt in the kitchen of Kaifeng Mansion has started to put on makeup these days!"
"Yo! You two are so handsome."
"It is said that he is still the supreme martial artist!"
"Tsk tsk!"
"Hey." Pang Yu whispered to Bao Yan, "Don't tell me, these two elders are more popular than Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang."
Bao Yan also nodded, "Sure enough, this world is still dominated by housewives."
The fourth son held Bao Yan's hand, raised his face, and after hearing the two finished speaking, he looked back and saw that Tianzun was attracted by a fake famous painting hanging on the wall, and Yin Hou dragged him upstairs. Dragging up, scolding him while dragging, "Don't waste your money, okay!"
Finally, everyone went upstairs and entered the private room.
Xiao Liu wiped the table and said, "Master Wu Zhan, recently Taibaiju has hired a new cook who is good at cooking Sichuan cuisine, do you want something spicy?"
"Think!" Zhan Zhao's eyes brightened, and Pang Yu slapped the table, "I want authentic Sichuan cuisine! The kind that's spicy and numbing!"
"Of course." Xiao Liu reported a list of dishes, and everyone ordered a table of Sichuan dishes, ready to have a spicy meal.
"Can little four eat spicy food?" Bao Yan was still more careful. Seeing that little four didn't talk all the way today, he thought he was not in good health. "Can I order you a stewed egg with sea bass? What do you want to eat?"
The fourth son scratched his head, "Huh?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also noticed that the fourth son was in a daze. Although he was very dazed, he was rarely in a daze, as if he was thinking about his thoughts.
"What's the matter?" Pang Yu asked him, "Brother Zhan and Brother Bai are getting married, shouldn't you, a little matchmaker, retire? Enjoy your life and don't always try to match others, or else you should get married first. Has Ryoko done it?"
