dim lights

The Banana Leaf House is naturally still in the old place, in the corner of the garden, not very conspicuous.It's just that most of the lush banana leaves around have withered for some reason, and they have long since lost their guards, making them look very desolate.

It was already night, and it was clearly a warm season, but there was a cold air everywhere, making it look chilly.

"Did you guess wrong?" Qi Shiyu asked.

Shen Tingyun shook his head. The small building was the place where Cang Ming was imprisoned. Now that the building is empty, it does not mean that Cang Ming is completely dead.But it's all here, and it's hard to say whether there will be any clues inside.

The two climbed up the small building along the broken ladder.

When people went up, the whole building seemed to be crumbling, and hit a few huge spider webs head-on. It didn't look like it was still inhabited.

Shen Tingyun pushed open the dusty door, where he personally killed his closest colleague.

He is a child raised by the dark pavilion, and he lives to kill all kinds of people who stand in front of Prince Xuan's mansion, but only the moment when the blade cut through Cang Ming's skin impressed him so deeply, as if he could return to his life when he closed his eyes. until that day.

"There shouldn't be anyone here." Before Qi Shiyu could finish his words, he was slapped in the face, and there was actually a person lying on the bed in the small building.

The person on the bed heard the movement, got up almost instantly, and looked straight at the two people who shouldn't be here.

"Cang Ming?" Qi Shiyu made a suspicious voice.

"It's you?" The person on the couch got out of bed, only one step away from Shen Tingyun and Qi Shiyu.

Shen Tingyun saw the identity of this person clearly, and said to Qi Shiyu in a low voice: "It's Canghong, the eldest prince of Yingyang." The two looked at each other in an extremely tacit understanding, and neither of them had the intention of leaving.

There were no guards around the small building, and it could even be said that it was sparsely populated. Cang Hong couldn't call people up here alone. Their current situation was much safer than running away.

Both of them thought that Cang Hong would go crazy when he saw Qi Shiyu again, but the other party was calmer than expected, and his voice didn't even become faster.

"I really didn't expect to see you again. Now that Ying Yang has become like this, I didn't expect you to get in." Cang Hong couldn't recognize Shen Tingyun after his disguise, so these words were naturally meant for Qi Shi Yu listened.

Qi Shiyu looked at him silently. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell where it was.

Cang Hong walked a few steps forward, faced Qi Shiyu, and said in a low voice: "He has been gone for two years, and I am left alone. I can only stay in the place where he lived last, relying on the dilapidated Zhulou, miss his voice and smile."

Cang Hong's sad and haggard appearance touched Qi Shiyu's memories of the time when he thought he had lost Shen Tingyun forever.The taste of living like a walking dead, wanting to die but unable to die, is much more unbearable than the Gu poison in his body that occurs once a month.

"You don't blame us?" Back then Cang Hong clearly hated them to the bone, but now he can talk to them calmly, it is really puzzling.

Cang Hong nodded and then shook his head: "I hated it at first, but then I figured it out. You are the one who did something to Ming'er, but someone else killed him." It was the father and himself who forced Cang Ming to go At the end of the road, his father was too suspicious and persecuted him endlessly, and his self-proclaimed affection was actually just humiliating him time and time again, which made him completely lose the idea of ​​living.

"The person I should hate is my father. He was the one who forced Ming'er to death, and it was he who forced me into what I am today, turning Ying Yang into a purgatory on earth." Cang Hong sneered, "The current Ying Yang , What's the use of existing? But I can't do anything, I can't change any status quo."

Qi Shiyu said: "Maybe we can find a way to help you, but we must know who is the host of Gu King?"

Cang Hong pushed open the window of the small building, and it started to rain at some point in the evening, the night wind accompanied the rain and poured in, soaking his already thin clothes thoroughly.

"Look at Yingyang today. The resentment of the dead people has dyed the night black so many times." Cang Hong's face was covered with water, but he didn't know if the rain had mixed with tears. Madman, the world is full of living corpses, how could he allow others to gain control over them?"

The implication is that in order to completely control the living corpse, King Yingyang chose the method of being reborn by the Gu King after death, and became the host.

Cang Hong closed the window that was so dilapidated that it was about to fall, walked towards Qi Shiyu wetly, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Just like when you took Ming'er's life back then, you killed my father, too. I can't bear to watch this country continue to decay like this, and watch my people change from ordinary people with flesh and blood to bones."

Qi Shiyu glanced at Shen Tingyun, and Shen Tingyun stepped forward to support Cang Hong, and said: "The purpose of our coming is to solve this matter. Since it was the sacred object left by Zhu Mingjiao that provoked Naturally, it should be completely resolved by the person who left it in the first place.”

"Since this is the case, I will naturally do my best to help." Cang Hong said.Although the small building was dilapidated, none of the items inside had been changed. Cang Hong easily found a pen and paper, and drew a map of the palace for Shen Tingyun.

He handed the map to Qi Shiyu, and said: "This is where my father lives. He is usually cautious, and he is always surrounded by guards, both alive and dead, and he is not easy to deal with, but Only when he was asleep, he was the only one in the bedroom because he was afraid of being assassinated by the people around him at night."

Now that it was night, it happened to be a good time to go to see King Yingyang, Shen Tingyun didn't want to delay any longer, and asked Cang Hong if he would go with them.

Cang Hong shook his head and said: "I should have taken you there personally, but because I was dissatisfied with what my father has done in the past few years, he has already been jealous of him. Now that I appear around his bedroom, I will even scare the snake. I will stay here I waited all night, hoping that when the sun rises tomorrow, I can see the same Ying Yang as before."

Shen Tingyun and Qi Shiyu left the small building. The rain this season came quickly, and it has stopped now.

"I always feel that something is wrong." Qi Shiyu said, "Cang Hong's reason is sufficient and logical, but I always feel that it is against harmony."

Shen Tingyun shook his head, and he also felt a trace of unspeakable worry, as if things were going too smoothly.

"I felt something was wrong just now..." Shen Tingyun stopped halfway, took out a hot object from his arms, and handed it to Qi Shiyu, "Why is this jade pendant so hot all of a sudden?" The jade pendant stolen from Li Shilang's mansion was engraved with the shape of Zhu Mingjiao's totem Suzaku, so he planned to bring it to Ji Minggui to enjoy, but he left Beijing too quickly, and he didn't even have time to enter the harem, so he almost forgot about the jade pendant.

Qi Shiyu touched it, and the jade pendant was really hot. This temperature is definitely not something that can be warmed by body temperature.But it didn't seem to have any other reason to get hot all of a sudden.

Shen Tingyun picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully for a moment. Except for the exquisite carving, he couldn't see anything, so he could only put it back into his arms.
