treacherous world

The laughter was gloomy and a bit weird. After hearing it, Zhan Zhao carefully discerned that it should be a man, and he must be a little older.

"Master Zhan... Xinghui." It was a man in a long white gown who came out. If Zhan Zhao could see it, he would be amazed at the mismatch between his appearance and voice.

This person looks to be only about 20 years old, but his voice is as old as a 80-[-]-year-old man.

What's even more exaggerated is that he has a beautiful appearance, which is between men and women. As a man, he looks too feminine, but as a woman, he seems masculine.

"Who is your Excellency?" Zhan Zhao asked in a low voice, and at the same time felt that there were more than ten people around... These people held their breaths, and it could be seen that they were laying an ambush—it was not a good person.

"Your Excellency Zhan is busy, we met once." The man slowly walked four or five steps away from Zhan Zhao, and smiled, "...By the way, it was the time of the hero meeting that year. Oops , At that time, Master Jiu Muzhan was famous, I thought Master Zhan was as tall and fat as Ouyang Hero, but I didn't expect him to be so young and handsome."

Zhan Zhao heard him speak with a strange tone, and his voice was neither masculine nor feminine, he felt very uncomfortable, and wondered if it was the eunuch from Kilometer?

"Sigh... It seems that Lord Zhan still doesn't think of me. I'm also a monster. I live reclusively, and I'm usually lazy to meet people." As he spoke, he slightly raised his hand, "I don't know if Master Zhan is interested in coming to my February Palace. Sit down?"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment before he understood, "Your Excellency is the Mistress of the Er Yue Palace?"

"Hmm..." The man smiled and nodded, "Just call me Lin Yinxiao."

Zhan Zhao's heart trembled, and he said that even his name was neither male nor female, and he asked the truth...but he couldn't ask.You can't bow your hands to him and say - Oh, Palace Master Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you, I don't know if you are a man or a woman.

Zhan Zhao was still thinking about it, but Lin Yinxiao raised the corners of his mouth, "Master Zhan has taken care of my Er Yue Palace disciples a lot, and your eldest brother has some things that I urgently need in Er Moon Palace, so... I will invite you to come to me no matter what. Mr. Zhan will go to Eryue Palace to stay for a few days."

Zhan Zhao understood, shook his head and laughed, "Gongzhu Lin means to kidnap me to Eryue Palace, and ask my elder brother to exchange something in his hand?"

"Master Zhan is straight-talking, he really has manliness." Lin Yin smiled and sneered, "You can also say that."

"Your February Palace is too small." Zhan Zhao was not very polite after hearing this, "I'm afraid I won't be used to it."

"I know that Mr. Zhan is not an ordinary peddler, and he is not so easy to please, so I have prepared some things for Mr. Zhan... I hope Mr. Zhan likes it." Lin Yinxiao raised his hands and clapped three times.

After three beeps, there were dense drumbeats in the forest, long and short, far and near.Zhan Zhao's eyesight hasn't recovered yet, so he can only rely on his ears to listen. This is good, it means that he has lost all ability to judge the direction and the opponent's actions.

Zhan Zhao is not in a hurry, he has always been good at not being surprised, and he thought that the Mistress of the Moon Palace seemed to be really prepared.

Lin Yinxiao has already taken off the rope from his waist, looking at Zhan Zhao, ready to act.

Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao suddenly reached out, took off the gauze from his eyes, and opened his eyes.

Lin Yinxiao was stunned, Zhan Zhao's eyes looked intact, especially a pair of eyes, not like the eyes that a blind person should have, and both eyes looked at him accurately, and smiled softly, "Master Lin, don't you mind?" Do you mind staying in Kaifeng Mansion for a few days?"

"You..." Lin Yinxiao frowned slightly, and moved a little to the side, while Zhan Zhao followed his direction and rolled his eyes, apparently seeing it.

Actually, did Zhan Zhao see it?No!

He can only distinguish the rough changes in light and shadow, mainly because he can hear the subtle differences in the sound of the drums. It's okay to move slowly. If it's fast, for example, in a real fight, it's nothing to say, and he's just betting. That's all.

Lin Yinxiao really caught Zhan Zhao's attention for a while, he squinted his eyes and stared at Zhan Zhao, "Master Zhan's eyes, are they healed or not?"

Zhan Zhao made him amused, and replied, "It's not healed yet."

"Really?" The more Lin Yinxiao looked at Zhan Zhao, the more he felt unbelievable. He raised his hand and swung the rope in his hand, like a whip, towards Zhan Zhao.

Hearing the wind, Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to catch it, grabbed the other end of the rope, and raised his eyebrows, "Governor Lin, it's best to be careful when doing things. Inquire about the news in the future, remember to inquire clearly."

Lin Yinxiao was shocked, Zhan Zhao's eyes had recovered!If that was the case, he would have no chance of winning at all, but Zhan Zhao didn't give him a chance to think about it, so he pulled the rope...

Lin Yinxiao tilted her body forward, and quickly regained her senses, but heard a dragon cry, and the giant que was unsheathed... The ancient sword with a cold light was full of killing intent.Lin Yin smiled, and hurriedly whistled to the forest.

At the same time, the sound of the drums stopped, and a dozen or so congregants from the Er Yue Palace came out with their swords raised. Everyone held the sword in one hand and the rope in the other, and they seemed to be determined to catch a job.

Zhan Zhao secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and said to himself that it's fine if you don't beat the drums, and it doesn't matter how many people you have.

"Go!" Lin Yin laughed and let go of the rope, and his opponent gave the order...the crowd besieged Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao listened to his voice to identify his position, and he was often besieged by others, so he knew what tricks most Jianghu sects used to siege them, and he was able to solve them with ease.

After more than 30 moves, the group of congregants were beaten up and down, and the formation was broken up.

Lin Yinxiao felt a little weird looking at it, he raised a foot and kicked a stone and flew into the forest beside him... Zhan Zhao instinctively turned his head slightly and listened attentively.

Lin Yinxiao took a deep breath and said angrily, "You're bluffing me?! Your eyes haven't recovered at all!"

Zhan Zhao stuck out his tongue in secret—oh, I was discovered.

Lin Yinxiao ordered the congregation to disperse, and still wanted to act like that just now... But Zhan Zhao raised the corner of his mouth and asked, "Master Lin is so hospitable, why don't you invite him to Er Yue Palace as well?"

Lin Yin smiled for a moment, but he heard a strange sound in the forest... He secretly said that he was sorry, and before he could say the word "withdraw", he felt someone behind him.

Oops!It was too late for Lin Yinxiao to realize that something was wrong, and before he had time to dodge it, a man in white had already been removed in front of him.

The effort of flicking his sleeves... Lin Yinxiao was a little flustered when his internal force struck, and wanted to back off, so he didn't make a hard answer, but just dodged sideways. Unfortunately, his internal force was useless.

As soon as he regained consciousness, he was slapped on the shoulder by the person in front of him and fell on his back. When he wanted to get up from embarrassment, the cold silver knife was resting on the side of his neck.

The corners of Lin Yinxiao's mouth twitched slightly, but he remained calm, "Fifth Bai..."

Naturally, it was Bai Yutang who came. He originally just went to the post office to deliver a message, but he didn't expect Zhan Zhao to disappear after he came back.After asking the fourth son, the fourth son and Xiao Liang were also looking for it. They peeled chestnuts and wanted to ask Zhan Zhao to eat them, but there was no one there.

Bai Yutang walked into the courtyard, and saw the faintly fluorescent powder on the ground... His heart tightened, this cat came again!Why did you run away by yourself?You Zhan Daxia, if your eyes are not injured, no one cares about you, but now your eyes are not healed, you can't wait for me for a while where you want to go? !

After thinking about it, Bai Yutang hurriedly chased after him.

The fourth son and Xiao Liang looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

Lin Yin smiled and looked at Bai Yutang who was pointing at her with a sword, and knew that this time he was underestimated, mainly because he didn't expect Zhan Zhao to delay him for so long.

At this moment, all the disciples of the Er Yue Palace who were attacking Zhan Zhao also stopped, Zhan Zhao waved his hand to them, signaling—quickly withdraw!

Several disciples looked at Lin Yin and laughed, and saw him nodding, and retreated into the forest together.

Zhan Zhao came to Bai Yutang's side, Lin Yin laughed sneeringly, "I heard that Fifth Master Bai has a very close relationship with Mr. Zhan, so it's true..."

"You talk too much nonsense." Bai Yutang is not as talkative as Zhan Zhao, and it's not to scare you by letting you die.

Lin Yinxiao also knew that Daxia Zhan was famous for his kind heart, while Bai Yutang was the ancestor of murderers... he couldn't afford to be offended.

"What do you want my elder brother to do?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"I want the Soul Orb." Lin Yinxiao didn't hide it.

"What's the use of the soul bead?" Bai Yutang frowned.

"Uh...don't you know?" Lin Yinxiao was a little surprised, "The Soul Bead is an ancient divine object, which can bring back the dead or summon the soul and control the soul."

"That's just a rumor, right?" Zhan Zhao didn't believe it.

"It's not a rumor!" Lin Yin shook his head with a smile, "It's true, but a single soul bead is not enough to accomplish great things, it needs to be combined with spells, formulas and other medicines. For ordinary Jianghu sects, soul beads are not very useful, but For the different arts sect, it is an invaluable treasure, as long as there is a mourning orb, one can control the soul.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao thought it was nonsense.

"There is a Dragon Palace at the bottom of the Yishui River. That is the tomb of the master of the Yishumen, Luoshen Tianzun. Tianzun used a mourning bead to establish the Yishumen..." Lin Yin laughed, "I was waiting just to get back Just beads."

After hearing this, Zhan Zhao frowned. The eldest brother is not from the sect of different arts, and he doesn't like disputes between the world and the lake. Why do you want a soul bead?Could it be to save lives?

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, as if asking - how to deal with this person?

Zhan Zhao waved his hand indifferently, "Let it go."

Bai Yutang put away the knife.

Lin Yinxiao stood up, tidied his clothes, never thought that Zhan Zhao would let him go so easily, and bowed to him, "Lord Zhan is kind."

"I have something to ask you." This matter has troubled Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang for a long time, "The Young Mistress of Er Yue Palace is really dead?"

Lin Yin smiled for a moment, but there was displeasure on his frowning face, he sighed softly, and said, "Fake death, I raised him so big, yet he betrayed me in Er Yue Palace." After saying that, he turned and left , "This is also thanks to Zhan Hao! Your elder brother is going to stir up blood and rain in the rivers and lakes, so he will stop."

"Why?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

"I have to ask you." Lin Yinxiao seemed to hesitate for a moment, and shook his head, "You are his brother and he doesn't even know, where do we know?!" After finishing speaking, he left without looking back.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, Lin Yinxiao seemed to be hiding something.

Bai Yutang picked up his blindfolded gauze from the ground and asked, "Is it okay to take it off?"

"It's okay." Zhan Zhao accurately reached out and took the gauze.

"You..." Bai Yutang was surprised, "Your eyes are alright?"

"Not yet." Zhan Zhao smiled, "But I feel like I can see more than before."

Bai Yutang stared at his eyes, and saw Zhan Zhao's originally obsidian pupils had an inexplicably golden luster.

Bai Yutang closed his eyes, thinking that his eyes were dazzled, so he took a closer look, and sure enough, there were fine and dense golden thread-like patterns in Zhan Zhao's pupils...

"Is it really a cat's eye?" Bai Yutang couldn't help but say.

"What are you talking about?" Zhan Zhao turned around, "Let's go, go back and see what's going on with Zhao Pu and the others."

……

The person who was going to blow up the mountain by the Yishui River had already been stabilized by Zhao Pu. As for what was at the bottom of the river, Zhao Pu sent Zhe Ying to find Zou Liang and bring his navy to investigate.

A few days later, Zou Liang's navy arrived, as did Jiang Ping, the Fanjiang mouse.

All the good swimmers were shirtless, and Xiao Hong led them into the water, looking for the place of golden light she had seen before.

Jiang Pingping was amazed by Xiaohong's good water skills.

Before long, they fished up a lot of weird crystal mirrors.

These mirrors are spread all over the bottom of the river, all the way to the upper reaches, and there are also outside the pool behind the horse belly ancestral hall, and there is a circular pit at the bottom of the pool!The full moon that Bai Yutang saw that day was the reflection of those mirrors through the circular pits.No matter what time of the year you look at it, the moon is full at night.As for the light sources reflected by those mirror doors, they are also at the bottom of the river...

Jiang Ping and the others were startled when they first got down to the bottom of the river, because in the mirror in the river, there was a huge portrait of a man, shining golden.Take a closer look, it is an old man with a lifelike face and a smile, all of which are radiant.

Jiang Ping swam around, followed Xiaohong into the underground palace, and found that it was a portrait reflected in the mirror, and there was a night pearl on the top of the portrait... shining brightly.On the side was a crystal coffin. The corpse in the coffin had decayed, but it could be vaguely identified as the stone statue itself. On the top of the crystal coffin, there was a crystal box open, and there was nothing inside.That should be the place where the mourning orb was placed.

After many investigations, the old man was the founder of the Yishu Sect, Luoshen Tianzun.Jiang Ping said that there is a spring at the bottom of the stone statue, and hot water comes out continuously. It is a hot spring.Everyone understood why Xiaohong said that it was very warm there.Gongsun asked Jiang Ping to bring some water up.Smelling a strange smell in the water, Gongsun smiled, "No wonder, it's a medicinal spring that can cure diseases!"

Seeing that the mourning orb had been lost, the people from the Yishu sect alarmed everyone in the government and disappeared overnight.

The case was successfully resolved. Although Zhan Hao has not been found, the horse belly murder case and the mermaid tragedy involved decades ago have all been solved.All relevant persons are dealt with strictly according to the law, and the mastermind, Liang Zhifu, is also dead... The case in Qushan County has come to an end.

About three days later, Zhan Zhao's eyes recovered, and he could see things very clearly, without any discomfort at all, just...

"Meow Meow's eyeballs have turned golden!" Little Sizi looked up from the bottom up. From a certain angle, especially when he was under direct sunlight, Zhan Zhao's eyes glowed with a weird golden light. .

Bai Yutang frowned, there were indeed golden threads in Zhan Zhao's pupils.

"Study, what's going on?" Zhao Pu asked Gongsun puzzled, "Why did the eyeballs change color?!"

Gongsun frowned in confusion, "I don't know, the eyes are indeed healed, and the poison has been cured, how could this be... This is the first time I've seen it."

Zhan Zhao himself didn't care. He stared at the mirror for a while and didn't see any gold or silver threads. He smiled, "No, I don't feel anything at all."

Everyone was puzzled, but there was no other way, so they set off and returned to Kaifeng Mansion first.
