treacherous world

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went downstairs and chased after the two people in front.

The one walking in front, speaking of it, Zhan Zhao is really not easy to remember... It was a young man, he seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, he was rich and honored, with an arrogant expression as if he came from an extraordinary background.There is an elf and eccentric little follower beside him, very attentive.

The two had met Zhan Zhao before, and they had a quarrel. It was the time when they went to the jade shop to ask for clues to find Mrs. Tianyu. There was one.That young man looked like he was a foreigner, and acted arrogantly, Zhan Zhaolue gave him a lesson, what was he called to set up... By the way, Liu Du!

The reason why Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought of him was entirely because Liu Du was called the second young master by that boy!Now that there is a Second Young Master, then there must be an Eldest Young Master!This is also the only clue that Zhan Zhao and the others can think of so far, which has something to do with the so-called "Eldest Young Master".

Of course, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang would not be so absurd, because they came out to follow after being called "Second Young Master"... but because they found out that Liu Du's master and servant were being followed.The person following them - is the dead leaf!

As Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao walked, they were thinking about the dead leaves.

"Mao'er, Zhao Cong found out when you and grandpa were watching?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, and shook his head, "Probably not, with Zhao Cong's internal strength, it's impossible to find me and grandpa."

Bai Yutang frowned, "Then why did he arrange the Ice and Fire Valley in advance?"

Zhan Zhao was stunned, then touched his chin, "Indeed, it's a bit strange."

"At that time, only Dead Leaf was with him, right?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Yeah..." Zhan Zhao suddenly seemed to understand something, "Oh! Zhao Cong suspected Dead Leaf, so he used this trick to test him? At that time, the two of them acted separately, and Zhao Cong did bring him with him. The princess went out...he not only lied to us, but also lied to the dead leaves?"

"Perhaps it was an accident to deceive us. It was just self-defeating. His main purpose was to deceive Dead Leaf. Withered Leaf will appear here this time. In addition to his relationship with the fourth son, I always feel that he has another purpose." Bai Yutang frowned. Frowning, "This time there is a mistake. Will Zhao Cong suspect that Dead Leaf betrayed him and revealed the news to Kaifeng Mansion?"

Zhan Zhao also felt that it was a bit of a coincidence, "The dead leaf doesn't know the situation, isn't it dangerous? If he really has another purpose..."

Afterwards, the two followed Dead Leaf and Liu Du's master and servant secretly, and walked forward together... Sure enough, they arrived at Liu Xi's bodyguard.

"Liu Du is also surnamed Liu, could he be a relative of Liu Xi?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang.

"I don't seem to have heard that he has such a son, but it may be a relative." Bai Yutang saw the dead leaves enter Liu Xi's courtyard from the roof, and reached out to pat Zhan Zhao, "Let's go in openly, it just so happens .”

Zhan Zhao nodded, and together with Bai Yutang, entered Liu Xi's residence.

Liu Xi Jinpen didn't finish washing his hands, but fortunately he ran into Bai Yutang, so a smile appeared on his cloudy face, and he was so busy preparing for the dinner that he waited eagerly for Bai Yutang to come over in the evening.

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Yutang entered the gate of the mansion, someone came to report it.Liu Xi rushed out to greet him, followed by Shen Boqing and Shen Yuqing, as well as Liu Xi's children, but the expressions on the faces of those younger generations were different, especially the males, who were not very happy.

Zhan Zhao secretly laughed, his white mouse was so strong that he was jealous.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and the more he looked at it, the more interesting he became.

Followed Liu Xi into the compound, sat down to drink tea, and found that there were only a few people sitting and drinking with him during the banquet, and that Liu Du was not there.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang kept silent and looked at each other——strange!Liu Du has indeed entered the house, why is there no one there?

Moreover, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also have some doubts about this person's identity, because Liu Du behaves like a spoiled child, and his family is rich and spends money like water, but Liu Xi seems to have a strict family education, and his family background is just an ordinary preference, so it is unlikely Raise such an arrogant child.

Zhan Zhao pretended to hold the cup, and lightly touched Bai Yutang with his elbow, motioning him to look at the wall.

Bai Yutang glanced casually, and sure enough...the dead leaves were there.Both sides saw each other... After the dead leaf hid on the roof, he wondered why Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were here, but Bai Yutang saw that the dead leaf was looking for it on the wall just now with a puzzled face—could it be that he also I don't know where Liu Du went?

"Bai Shaoxia, Lord Zhan." Liu Xi raised his glass, "Come on, let me toast you both, haha."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao came back to their senses and had a drink with Liu Xi.Just as Liu Xi wanted to say something, Bai Yutang asked him, "I just saw a young man entered your house in front of us, who is that?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang with admiration—oh!Great, just ask directly.

Liu Xi was also slightly taken aback for a moment, then his face turned pale, and he asked, "Is he an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy with a servant?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded.

"Why, you two pay attention to that boy?" Shen Baiqing asked first.

"Oh, we met once before and had a fight." Zhan Zhao smiled and told Bai Yutang what he said just now, "Because his surname is also Liu, so I wondered if it was Mr. Liu's escort. family."

With a "click", the cup in Liu Xi's hand fell to the ground and shattered, and the faces of the other people present were also pale.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and both noticed that something was wrong with Liu Xi.

"Boss Liu?" Bai Yutang reminded him, "What's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing." Liu Xi smiled, which was uglier than crying.

"That boy, what's his name?" At this time, Shen Yuqing asked Zhan Zhao,

"Oh, it seems to be called Liu Du..."

As soon as Zhan Zhao's words came out, Liu Xi's face turned ashen for an instant, with that expression, usually not so miserable after seeing a ghost.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

Bai Yutang also looked at the crowd.At this moment, he felt that the dead leaves in the dark seemed to be listening too... Didn't he find Liu Du?

"Liu Du, he is my adopted son." Liu Xi calmed down a bit, and told Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao, "Many years ago, he died in an accident, and his little bookboy died with him."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned, then shook their heads together, "We really saw someone, it was broad daylight, on the street."

Liu Xi nodded, "He just came back in the last few days, talking and laughing as usual, coming in and out..."

"So, he's not dead?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Liu Xi suddenly and slowly raised his head to look at Zhan Zhao, "I don't know."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt the wind was blowing, and looked at him puzzled, "I don't know?"

"Sometimes he's there, sometimes he's not. Sometimes I can see him but others can't, and sometimes others can see him but I can't..." Liu Xi swallowed, "Sometimes it appears during the day, and sometimes I see it again in a dream at night... At first I thought I was dreaming crazy, but then it became more and more wrong."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned, they didn't believe it at all, or they couldn't believe it, because they had just contacted Liu Du a few days ago, and it was on the street that day, and many people saw it!

"Actually... I wash my hands this time because of this incident." Liu Xi hesitated for a while, and finally said something psychological.Looking at Bai Yutang, "Young Xia Bai... No, Uncle Grand Master, you will save the lives of my whole family no matter what this time!"

Bai Yutang looked at him puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"I don't know, Young Master Bai and Mr. Zhan, have you ever heard of the art of soul-hunting?" As he spoke, Liu Xi looked around, as if to be wary of someone, "There is a kind of soul-hunting, which is said to have been lost, called— —Seven-heart soul-hunting technique!"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback for a moment—Seven Hearts Dementor, it is indeed such an ancient name!

"I've heard that most of the people who can use the seven-heart dementia technique are the reincarnations of monsters. They have pupil power and extremely strong internal power, which makes people lose their minds unconsciously, as if they have entered a dream. I can’t get out either. So after that, I will follow the situation arranged by others step by step, even if I die, I don’t know how I died..." Liu Xi sighed, "It’s like a sudden death. Seven hearts came out, each one was terrifying, each one seemed real, and finally the seven hearts seemed to have no heart, and died insanely. I have only heard about this kind of magical power, but I have never seen it... It is said that this This kind of kung fu has long been lost!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other. They didn't know much about it, but they did hear about it.The two of them thought in tacit understanding... Do you want to go back and ask Tianzun and Yinhou?

On the roof, Dead Leaf frowned slightly, took a step back, jumped out of the courtyard wall and was about to leave, but a white shadow flickered in front of her eyes.

Dead Leaf was taken aback, then took a step back in shock, who moved so fast?But when he realized it, he had already taken off into the air and left several streets and alleys.It fell heavily, and the dead leaves were lucky enough to not break due to lightness kung fu. Touching the waist that was almost broken, he looked up, and saw a very handsome middle-aged uncle falling in front of him.Dressed in black, with a domineering face, a little strange.The corners of the eyes and brows are slightly similar to Zhan Zhao's, but Zhan Zhao's growth is more normal, but this person seems to be more evil.After a few glances at Dead Leaf, she felt puzzled again, Zhan Zhao didn't look like this person at all, how could she connect the two of them at the first glance?But look again, there are some similarities.

He was wondering, when he heard someone behind him say, "Quickly ask, the night market is about to close!"

Withered Ye was stunned, then turned around suddenly, and saw a man in white standing behind him, this man was about the same age as the man in black in front of him, and he was also unreasonably handsome, the most important thing was that he had white hair.Dead Leaf couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, she couldn't even notice how strong her internal strength was when she stood next to her.Looking at his appearance, he couldn't help but think of someone, so he couldn't help but took a deep breath.

Yin Hou folded his arms and looked at the dead leaves for a long time, "Have I seen you before?"

Withered Leaf was slightly taken aback, and looked up at Yin Hou... For a long time, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared quickly, and he silently shook his head, "I haven't seen it before."

Yin Hou raised his eyebrows, apparently also noticed the sudden change in the expression of the dead leaf, touched his chin, "Have you seen it?" He said, beckoning to Tianzun, "Have you seen him? Look at half of his face first!"

Tianzun leaned over to look, and Dead Leaf turned her face subconsciously.

Yin Hou stretched out his hand to hold his head, "Don't move."

Withered leaves continued to sweat on his forehead, and the hands on top of his head seemed to be useless at all, but...he couldn't move!

Tianzun stared at the dead leaf for a long time, then stretched out his hand to poke him, "Oh, is your surname Cen?"

Withered Ye frowned, "My surname is Ku."

"Cry?" Tianzun blinked, "Why don't you laugh?"

Yin Hou raised his hand gently and slowly, "Cen...like! No wonder."

Withered Ye secretly said badly, looked up at Yin Hou, "Who are you?"

Yin Hou replied indifferently, "Yin Hou."

The dead leaf almost swallowed his tongue in his stomach, no wonder he had such high skill, he looked back at Tianzun again, "Tianzun?"

Tianzun nodded, "Yes." Before the dead leaf swallowed his tongue back into his stomach for the second time, Tianzun asked, "Who are you, Cen Li?"

"I've never heard of it." Withered Leaf replied lightly.

"Liar, you two are so alike!" Tianzun grinned, "Your elder brother? Um...you have three brothers, don't you? I remember there is another one named Cen Jing, who is the youngest?"

"I've never heard of those two people." Withered Ye hurriedly stood up, turned around and was about to leave.

Yin Hou stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and he sat back down, raising his head angrily.

Yin Hou smiled, "No wonder you follow Bai Yutang, that's why."

Tianzun smiled, "If you have any questions, would it be more direct to me! There are some things that Yutang doesn't know."

Withered Leaf frowned, "I don't know what the two masters are talking about."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Yin Hou stretched out his hand to hold his neck. "It seems that you are the key to the case this time. I have to ask you a lot of things. Please go and chat with Mr. Bao for a while!" A wave.

Before Dead Leaf protested, she jumped... was taken into the air, and went straight to Kaifeng Mansion.

Dead leaves have to struggle, but easier said than done...

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were at Liu Xi's place, and didn't find out anything about the whereabouts of the box of life and death. They spent the whole night listening to him babbling about inspiriting, resurrection of dead sons, and so on.

Bai Yutang heard one head and two big, and said goodbye to Zhan Zhao after dinner.

Liu Xi begged in every possible way, but Bai Yutang had no choice but to agree to him, and turned around to help him ask Tianzun about the Seven Hearts Soul Conjuration Technique.

After leaving Liu Xi's mansion, Bai Yutang sighed, "It's really..."

Zhan Zhao also nodded, and said very seriously, "I think I have a little back lately."

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Back?"

"It's just... I need to find a temple and find a Bodhisattva to worship." Zhan Zhao was dissatisfied, "I've never been so clueless since I've been working on a case!"

Bai Yutang slightly raised his eyebrows, "Then do you think, did you really encounter the soul-hunting technique, or did you hit a kid?"

"Of course not." Zhan Zhao shook his head.

"Oh?" Bai Yutang asked with great interest, "Then what do you think?"

"Some people are just playing tricks." Zhan Zhao smiled lightly.

"Why are you so sure? You also felt that you had a soul-stirring spell before."

"It's very simple." Zhan Zhao poked Bai Yutang's shoulder, "Because you saw it too, you won't be fooled!"

Bai Yutang smiled, looked at Zhan Zhao's profile, "Cat, this direction is not going back to Kaifeng Mansion, you still want to go somewhere else?"

Zhan Zhao stopped slowly, "That's right, I haven't been in the limelight yet, miss it!" As he said, he turned his head and stared at the entrance of the alley not far away, "Come out? Young Master."

Bai Yutang also turned his head slowly... in the darkness, in the alley, two green lights appeared like will-o'-the-wisps.
