treacherous world

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed Bai Fu to the front yard, and saw Zhao Pu standing there, with Ziying and Zhe Ying escorting a person.The man was almost invisible, covered in blood, and sat dumbfounded on the cold and hard ground.

"Stop being angry!" Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Why do you..."

What was brought back from the old stove was precisely refraining from anger.He didn't seem to be seriously injured, but the blood on his body didn't know where it came from, and he stared blankly ahead.

Gongsun wanted to go over and check him, but Zhao Pu was not at ease, thinking that this monk seemed to be crazy.

At this time, Yinhou and Tianzun also came out, and they both felt puzzled when they saw a monk covered in blood on the ground.

Tianzun was a little sleepy, snoring on the back of the stone, and the stone was so shocked that he didn't dare to move, and was put on his back by Shuai Shushu!

Yin Hou glanced at him, at first he didn't pay attention, but then he seemed to feel that something was wrong, he leaned over to take another look, frowned, squatted down and stared at him carefully, "Uncle Cen?"

Everyone blinked, looked down at Yin Hou and then at Jie Chen, feeling unbelievable, Yin Hou is over 100 years old, and Jie Chen is called Uncle Cen, so how old should Jie Chen be?

Jie Chen didn't react at all at first, but after being heard by Yin Hou, he slowly raised his head and saw Yin Hou... was taken aback for a moment, then opened his eyes wide.

"It's really you?" Yin Hou was very surprised, and waved to Tianzun behind him, "Hey, come and see."

Tianzun was woken up, came over with a yawn, squatted beside Yin Hou, rubbed his eyes and raised his head to meet Jie Chen, blinked and opened his mouth wide, "Ah! Aren't you Uncle Cen, why did you become a monk? gone?"

Jie Chen suddenly let out a wow, jumped up "teng", prostrated himself on the ground and grabbed Tian Zun and Yin Hou's swing, "Two masters!"

Seeing him howling and crying, everyone was a little puzzled, what happened to this monk?

"Who is Uncle Cen?" Zhan Zhao poked Yin Hou and asked.

"Oh, it's really a long story." Yin Hou looked dumbfounded, "It's really hard to say."

Everyone looked at each other.

"So you are Cen Bo."

At this time, a lazy voice came from behind everyone.

There was a sound of swiping, and everyone looked back together, only to see Cen Jing standing there, shaking his head helplessly at Uncle Cen, "That's right, the Cen family is really not completely wiped out, there is still one outside."

"What's going on?" Bao Zheng was puzzled.

"He is my mother's lover." When Cen Jing said this, he seemed a little funny, "He is also my father's eldest brother, so he is our uncle."

"Oh." Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, no wonder they were called Uncle Cen, but...

The two looked at each other again, are the brothers fighting for women?

"My father and uncle are two different kinds of people. My father always has a straight face, thinking of revenge and rebuilding the great cause. But my father's behavior inevitably left my mother in the cold. She is lonely and lonely. But Cen Bo Tian Diao Erlang was always having a good time, and finally one day he had sex with his younger siblings. My mother later gave birth to a son, but unfortunately died early...My father discovered their adultery through this incident." Cen Jing talked about his family Mother's affair was really not soft-spoken at all, "Later, Uncle Cen was kicked out of the house. My elder brother was the oldest and knew about him. He chased and beat him as soon as he saw him. Not long after that, the adults in the family all Seems like, only our three brothers are left to wander around, and we have long forgotten this uncle who only adds to the chaos."

Everyone looked at Jie Chen subconsciously. Speaking of it, he really deserved this misery.

Bai Yutang was a little puzzled, "Then how did he know Fifth Aunt?" Bai Yutang counted his age, "According to his age, he and Fifth Aunt should have known each other for many years. He was so down and out in a restaurant to drink away his sorrows, maybe Just in time to be kicked out."

"Lost?" Cen Jing thought for a while, "When did it happen?"

Zhan Zhao helped to speculate, "About seventeen or eighteen years ago."

"Oh..." Cen Jing nodded, "The year my parents passed away, probably."

Yinhou and Tianzun looked at each other, they would know Jiehan, that is because Cen Li hit him once every time he saw him.

"Refrain from anger." Bao Zheng asked sternly, "Master Abbot has a kind heart and kindness to you. Why did you take revenge on him and kill an old man cruelly?"

Jie Chen was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Bao Zheng, eyes full of grief, "Grandmaster is dead?!"

No one else in Kaifeng Mansion dared to speak out. Who doesn't know that Bao Zheng and Master Fangzhang have been friends for many years. They usually play chess and discuss scriptures, drink tea and so on at least once a month. Sadness can be imagined.

Jie Chen hesitated for a long time, bowed his head in silence, and grabbed the ground with his head, as if he was in pain.

Everyone was puzzled, so they had to wait for him to recover a little before asking.

Bai Yutang turned around and asked Zhao Pu, "Did you find the chimney?"

Zhao Pu nodded, "When we went, we found that all the old stoves were locked with locks. I didn't let anyone pry them open. You can go and have a look tomorrow morning. Just to be safe, if there is a ghost, I will let Zhe Ying and the others dig a hole." , buried the entire hearth.”

"no!"

Zhan Zhao and the fourth son spoke in unison.

Zhao Pu and Bai Yutang looked at them blankly, and Gongsun held his forehead, "Where can I make snacks when Lao Zao is gone."

The corners of Zhao Pu and Bai Yutang's mouths twitched, and they looked at Xiao Sizi and Zhan Zhao who looked at each other and nodded with contempt—two foodies!

Bao Zheng lost his patience, walked up to Jie An, and interrupted him from crying, "I asked why you killed the abbot?"

"I...I didn't!" Jie Chen gritted his teeth.

"Who did that?"

"I can't say..." Jie Chen shook his head in pain, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault anyway."

"Bastard!" Bao Zheng couldn't find the gavel, so he grabbed a teacup and smashed it on the table, "Master's kindness to you is as great as a mountain, whether you killed him or killed him, let me tell you!"

Jie Chen gritted his teeth as if trying to hide.

The fourth son suddenly pointed to the position of his neck, "Daddy, he is bleeding!"

Gongsun also discovered that there was so much blood on Jie'an's body, but it didn't suffer any serious injuries, but there was a blood hole in the neck, which had been treated, and it seemed that someone was bleeding him.

"Jie Chen..." Zhan Zhao suddenly seemed to remember something, and squatted down to look at Jie Chen, "Are you sure, your child died young back then?"

Jie Chen was taken aback for a moment, and the expression on his face made everyone immediately think - could it be...

"The child didn't die back then?" Cen Jing frowned, "Then isn't he about our age now?"

"Back then, I took him away and raised him well, but this child had no mother since he was a child, and I only knew how to drink... He grew up a little bit, and asked me about his life experience many times. Once I was drunk, the wine After telling the truth, I told him some of the past, and he started to become weird. Not long after, the child disappeared!"

Everyone frowned. No matter how he is now, he was really an asshole back then. He didn't treat his woman well or his child well, and only regretted it after knowing it.

Bai Yutang also roughly understood what Zhan Zhao was thinking, "Eyes and blood, that green-eyed man, could it be your son?"

Jie Chen sighed, "It's all my fault... I traveled all over the world to find him, but when I found him, he was already in too deep!"

"Where is it trapped?"

"Conspiracy!" Jie Chen raised his head, "Everything is a conspiracy, he listened to that person's instigation!"

Yin Hou listened a little annoyed, "Don't act like you can't poop, can you, who instigated you?"

"The talent of the Cen family is bestowed by heaven." Jie An sat up, "From generation to generation, each generation has only one person who has such extraordinary talent, but other people are not without it."

Everyone frowned and listened, all of this... has something to do with talent?

"Alin's eyes were slightly green when he was a child." Jie Chen sighed, "Over the years, he has learned from a strange person how to have more talents, master and use them."

"Weird..." Zhan couldn't help thinking of Zhan Hao, and asked, "What kind of weirdo?"

"I don't know, Alin admires him very much, and he almost obeys his words." Jie Chen was helpless, "He used a taboo method to obtain the highest ability."

"Blood and eyes?" Bai Yutang asked.

"That's right, but this method is an ancient method. I only heard about it from some legends of my ancestors." Jie Chen explained, "Moreover, only blood and eyes can become a demon. Usually, blood is born, and eyes are acquired. I got it. I definitely didn’t get the eye, and then get the blood to change it. This is wrong! It’s like practicing internal skills first and then external skills. The combination of internal and external depends on talent, so you can’t force it! My son, he It's stupid, he is not charming the soul but fascinating people's own mind, that's why he is used by others without knowing it."

"The so-called blood..." Bai Yutang looked at his neck, "Your?"

Quit nodding.

"The Ah Lin you mentioned is your son, so who is he?" Bao Zheng felt that he should be caught immediately to prevent him from causing trouble again. He really didn't know what he would do after he got blood now?

"I don't know. When I wanted to catch him, I was stopped by a white-haired weirdo." Jie Chen said, "I was still in the melon shed before, but that brat suddenly came and told me to go with him. Yes, I persuaded him to turn around. He said that it was Master Abbot who taught me to live like a dog, so he was going to kill Master. By the time I got rid of the entanglement and wanted to save Master, it was too late! I chased him Going out, I was going to succeed, but an old man with very strong white hair and a red line between his eyebrows knocked me out, and when I woke up, I was already abandoned in the suburbs, covered in blood, I don’t know what happened.”

"White beard, white hair, red eyebrows..." Zhao Pu frowned, "That dead eunuch next to Zhao Cong!" "Does your son have any characteristics?" " Bai Yutang asked to avoid anger.

"It's nothing special. I'm in my 20s. Are you tall..." He looked around, and finally pointed at Cen Jing, "There are still some similarities."

Everyone racked their brains and began to think, have you ever seen such a person?

"More details!" Gongsun urged, "characteristics, or special capabilities."

Jie Chen smiled wryly, "Although I am his father, I don't know much about him. His own kung fu is not very good, but he is thoughtful. This kid is very smart and talented. He is good at everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's a pity Wrong way..."Proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Zhan Zhao suddenly asked, "You said his name is A Lin, but his full name is Cen Lin?" "

"Yes." Jie Chen nodded.

"Is he good at painting?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Also, has he been to the Western Regions?"

Jie Chen was taken aback, "He has indeed been traveling the world for a while, I don't know if he has been to the Western Regions, but I see that he carries a pen and paper with him, and he has been very good at drawing since he was a child..."

"Huahua!" Gongsun also remembered, "Oh! That day we were at the Huxin Pavilion..."

"The one who painted me, painted the rise and fall of the holy forest?" Bai Yutang also remembered, indeed, this person is suspicious, and...the appearance is really a bit similar to before.

"Speaking of which, I thought he painted you very vividly because he painted the eyes very carefully." Zhan Zhao said to himself, "That day, he appeared in the Lake Pavilion out of nowhere, and it was also because of his , we discovered the mechanism of the vulture's poisoning. Therefore, we did not have any doubts about him... It is precisely for this reason that we went to Gong's school and were almost burned to death!"

"Do you still remember that person's appearance?" Bao Zheng asked.

Gongsun took out a pen and paper, "I saw him that day, I remember!"

Gongsun's wonderful hand paints the outline of the person with a few strokes, and shows it to Jie An, who nods and sighs, "This is the unfilial son!"

Bao Zheng ordered people to disperse to search, but saw Zhao Pu stomping his feet, "Oops, bad, something big happened this time!"

"What's the matter?" Gongsun rarely saw Zhao Pu, who was always calm, become so anxious.

Zhao Pu held his hand, "Zhao Zhen was looking for this painting of Shenglin Shenglin a few days ago, and wanted to take him to another courtyard to paint a portrait of Concubine Pang and Xiangxiang."

"What?!" Everyone was shocked and realized that the situation was not good.Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurried out with Tianzun and Yinhou to another courtyard.Zhao Pu led his troops to the palace.

At this time, the sky was already dawning.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang while hurrying, "You don't want to draw so early, do you?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, "Probably not, it's not yet dawn, Concubine Pang is pregnant, so she's more sleepy."

"careful!"

The two were talking enthusiastically, when they felt that Tianzun and Yinhou grabbed the collar of their collars behind them, and took them to the side.

There were two "swish", and a few darts flashed by.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the two old men who were holding their backs with disapproval, which meant - they had discovered it earlier!Not a child.

At this time, in the gray morning mist, a row of strange figures appeared horizontally on the street.

Bai Yutang frowned and looked back, the way behind was also blocked, it seemed to be a carriage or a person, densely packed and strange in appearance.

Zhan Zhao lightly poked Bai Yutang, "Is it an illusion, or is it real?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "I saw it too."

All four of them frowned, how could so many people be killed on Kaifeng Mansion Street to block the way in broad daylight?

Zhan Zhao and the others were dumbfounded when the morning mist cleared up and people on both sides of the road could be seen clearly.

I saw that it was not thousands of troops or some martial arts masters blocking the way, but ordinary people on the streets of Kaifeng.Zhan Zhao also thought about the smell at this time, he said that it felt empty just now, logically speaking, at this time, there should be a lot of people who get up early to do business on the street, and they didn't dare to set up a stall. .

"Cat, your eyes are wrong!" Bai Yutang reminded Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao also noticed that some of those people were pulling ox carts, some were leading horses, some were holding hoes and some were carrying shoulder poles, men, women, young and old, of all styles, and most of them were familiar with Zhan Zhao on weekdays. Zhao Huan always greeted them.

It's just that the usual cheerfulness of the crowd has long since disappeared, replaced by a sluggish and ferocious feeling, as if they have a deep hatred with Zhan Zhao and the others.

"This is harder to deal with than thousands of troops!" Yin Hou frowned.

Just at this time, I heard the cry of "Wow".

Zhan Zhao took a closer look, and saw a little girl in a pink dress with braids, holding on to an old woman's sleeve and crying, "Grandma, what's wrong with you, grandma?"

Zhan Zhao knew that child, she was a little girl from the shop that bought tofu nao on the street, her name was Xiao Lingdang, and she went to school in the same ancestral hall as the fourth son.

Everyone was a little puzzled—the child seemed unaffected.

"Little bell?" Zhan Zhao called out to her.

The girl turned around, saw Zhan Zhao at a glance, and cried out, "Lord Zhan, everyone is bewitched!"

At this time, the crowd began to move slowly, Zhan Zhao was afraid that the child would be trampled standing in the middle of the road, so he waved to her, "Bing Dang, come here."

The little girl looked at her grandma, hesitated for a moment, and rushed towards Zhan Zhao.

Running in front of Zhan Zhao, the girl staggered and fell to the ground, Zhan Zhao was about to reach out to help her, but suddenly, Bai Yutang beside him pushed him away.

The girl suddenly raised her head, the innocent and a little scared look had long since disappeared, replaced by the same ferocious look as everyone else.

After pushing Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang dodges at the same time, dodging the dagger stabbed by the girl, flicking the girl's wrist lightly with his fingers, and the dagger fell to the ground with a faint blue light.Gently pinching the girl's braid, Bai Yutang turned around behind her and pressed down, making her unable to turn around with her face upturned, but she couldn't catch anyone with her hands.

Zhan Zhao scratched his head, thinking that it wasn't true - could it be seen that it was fake?Even Yinhou and Tianzun behind him couldn't help being curious, how did Bai Yutang see the flaw?This girl's expression was so perfect that even the two of them were fooled.

Bai Yutang smiled slightly, "This cat is usually good-tempered, and this group of kids will jump at whatever they want. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will naturally jump at me and not at him. This girl didn't even see me, so she must have something wrong with her head!"

Zhan Zhao's forehead was full of black lines, "White mouse, you promiscuous mouse!"

Yin Hou also twitched the corner of his mouth, and the Tianzun beside him clapped his hands, "Oh! Yes! Yutang is really smart."

However, the excitement here is not over yet, and the crowd has already become commotion.I saw that the people blocking the way began to lean forward, holding various "weapons" in their hands.Bai Yutang also frowned, and asked Zhan Zhao, "Cat, how long does it take to get acupuncture?"

Zhan Zhao, however, smiled, "Why do you need acupuncture? Can't it be enough if you get dizzy?"

Everyone was stunned, and then looked at him puzzled, "Why do you get dizzy?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Yin Hou speechlessly, "Grandpa, aren't you so forgetful that you even forget how to take care of the house?"

Yin Hou scratched his head, "Housekeeping kung fu..."

Tianzun raised his leg and kicked his ass, "You are an idiot, magic sound art!"

Yin Hou clapped his hands, "Oh!"

As Yin Hou jumped into the air, Tianzun shook his head and reminded Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Little ones, cover your ears."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at Tianzun in surprise, and at the same time, heard a piercing sound.It was the first time for Bai Yutang to see the real magic sound art, he felt the ground tremble slightly, the four walls of bricks creaked, at the same time he was dizzy and his hands and feet were numb.Looking at Zhan Zhao who was covering his ears in horror... Zhan Zhao yelled at him, "Hurry up and cover up! Be careful of internal injuries!"

Bai Yutang subconsciously let go of the little bell and covered his ears, and looked down, the girl had already passed out.

Tianzun folded his arms and curled his lips, "It's really ugly, this old monster is still deaf!"

After a while, everyone on the street fainted.

"This trick works." Yin Hou fell to Zhan Zhao's side, "But I don't know what will happen after I wake up?"

"Let's go to the other courtyard first!" Zhan Zhao felt that the situation was very bad. He blocked so many people early in the morning, and the other party definitely wanted to hold them back so that he could start as soon as possible.More importantly, it has never been seen before that the soul-hunting technique is so powerful that it can confuse so many people at once.Not to mention the mess of blood and eyes last night, that Cen Lin really acquired a remarkable ability, it would be a disaster for the world.

……

In the other courtyard, Concubine Pang was lying on the warm quilt, holding the little blushing Xiangxiang in her arms.

Outside the courtyard, the little maid saw Zhao Zhen coming in and wanted to salute, Zhao Zhen quickly waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.He was so worried that he didn't fall asleep last night, so he came to the other courtyard early to see his wife and daughter.As soon as she got to the bed, Xiao Xiangxiang opened her eyes a little, and got out from under the quilt, "Daddy."

Zhao Zhen quickly stretched out his hand to hug her, originally he was supposed to be called Father Emperor, but Zhao Zhen really liked to hear her childish voice say "Daddy."

Sitting on the bedside with Xiangxiang in his arms, seeing Concubine Pang's plump and round face due to her pregnancy, Zhao Zhen's worries that night finally turned into a trace of sleepiness.Just as he was about to take a nap, Nangong Ji suddenly whispered at the door, "Your Majesty, please see Hua Shenglin."

Zhao Zhen woke up, frowned slightly, and his heart moved slightly, "So early?"

……
