Chapter 2 Go East to Penglai to Find Clues Chapter 2 Exploring Clues
Jiuyin stands in front of the courtyard gate of No. 81 Imperial City, which is indeed a natural hiding place. No matter how strong the sun is and how hot the temperature is, Villa 81 is always eerie, and you can even feel a hint of coolness wafting out of the courtyard door.
"Look, there's another daring adventure......"
"How can anyone come to explore at noon, I'm afraid that my brain is not sunburned......"
When passers-by saw Jiuyin, they whispered to each other, but none of them took the initiative to step forward.
"Girl, I see you've been standing here for 1 hour, it's a hot day, don't get heat stroke. A kind old lady handed Jiuyin a parasol.
"Thank you. Jiuyin took the umbrella and didn't even look at the old man.
She had no interest in women, and in her opinion, such weak human beings, even if they were eaten, would not be enough to be their own nourishment. Not to mention assimilating them into demons, there will definitely be no combat power to speak of.
"Girl, are you interested here?" However, the old man didn't know what Jiuyin was thinking, and still accosted her.
"......" Jiuyin didn't answer her, but looked down at the old man coldly.
However, the old lady didn't care about her attitude, and still talked to herself: "This house is evil, it was built during the Republic of China, and it was originally given to his aunt by a big warlord, but the aunt hanged herself on this floor." Later, he walked out of this building and began to haunt it...... But no one had ever seen what a ghost looked like. It's been a few years since I stopped, no, a while ago it started to rumor that it was haunted again......"
"Hmph...... There are no ghosts in this world...... It's all a trick on someone. Jiuyin sneered. Yes, there are only demons in this world, where do ghosts come from?
"Who's to say it isn't. Thanks to these people, this place has become a famous place. Hey......" The old lady shook her head.
Jiuyin no longer paid attention to the old lady and walked straight into the courtyard.
In fact, when she stood at the gate of the courtyard, she had already felt the breath of the Transfiguration Clan who had lived here. And she also felt that the sudden appearance of the donkey, the return of Huai Xun, and the human adventure......
She felt all this clearly, but there was only one thing that was not clear, that is, on the night of the human expedition, the demon clans that lived here suddenly disappeared, although not all disappeared in an instant, but it was not too much.
If Jiuyin wanted to find out the situation at that time, he could only enter the villa and investigate.
"Hey, another ...... who doesn't listen to persuasion" The old lady watched Jiuyin enter the villa, and turned around and walked away helplessly.
I have to say that the breath here is really quite chaotic, in addition to the breath of the demon clan, there are also people left behind, most of them are here to explore.
Jiuyin followed the breath of the demon clan to the basement, only to see a huge basin on the ground, and all the breath of the demon clan finally disappeared into this basin.
She brushed aside the duckweed on the water, wanting to carefully observe what was magical about this basin and why the breath of the demon clan disappeared in this basin.
However, she thought too simply, and there was nothing but old water glowing green in the basin.
Jiuyin kicked over the basin in a fit of rage, and at this time, she found red mucus at the bottom of the basin, she dipped some mucus, sniffed it, and licked it again.
A scene instantly came to mind: she cut her fingers, dripped blood into the basin, and began to chant a spell, and the blood in the basin turned into a whirlpool, and then she watched the demons jump into the basin one by one and disappear......
Jiuyin came back to her senses, and she understood that this was the ability of Su Xuan, and this little girl could open the portal. If she could have this ability, wouldn't she be able to go wherever she wanted, and it would not be a problem to occupy the whole world if she wanted to.
However, she still didn't know where the demon clan had gone......
The early morning sun shines through the mist on the huge banyan trees in the breeding pool, gilding the dense canopy with a thin layer of gold. If it weren't for the fact that the water in the pond was still muddy yellow, there were collapsed trees in the pool, and the dwelling in the distance was still in shambles, Huai Xun and Yi Xixing would even think that the clan land had not been destroyed, and the disaster a month ago was just a nightmare.
"This is your clan?" Kong Li asked in surprise as he looked at the scene in front of him.
"yes......" Kaoru nodded.
"It's a shame...... I can think that if this place is not destroyed, it must be even more beautiful than Jiulonggou!" Kong Li said regretfully.
"To tell you the truth, Jiulonggou is no better. Yi Xixing pouted.
"I watched the TV report...... It is also the trees that have fallen and the pond water to be muddy. The mudslide also washed away many villages, and the disaster was really devastating. Kong Li said weakly, this disaster has also brought a huge impact to his travel agency, and the tourist season is about to come.
Yi Xixing and Kong Li worked together to push aside the trunk of the tree that had collapsed in the pond, and Huai Xun and Su Xuan cleaned up the fallen leaves and scattered branches in the pond.
"Huh, Jiuyin has been here too?" At the bottom of the pool near the steps, Kaoru found blue viscous blood.
"Really?" Yi Xixing heard the sound and walked over.
"What is it? I see?" Kong Li also wanted to come and see.
"Don't come here, I'm afraid you'll be contaminated by her blood. Kaoru immediately stopped him.
"This woman is too bad, isn't it! The breeding pond is like this, and she is even worse to be polluted by dripping blood!"
The three of them carefully fished out the blood of Jiuyin from the bottom of the pool with leaves, and wanted to throw it away directly, but they were afraid that her blood would be contaminated to other places, so Huai Xun had to carefully hold this leaf and sit on the stone steps with his back to the banyan tree.
"Ah Xun, Xiao Xuan and I will go to the bookstore first, and you and Kong Li will stay here first. "The breeding pond is almost cleaned up, and Yi Xixing is ready to go to the demon clan's library to investigate.
"Okay, go ahead, stay safe. Huai Xun nodded, if it wasn't for her to "keep" the leaves in her hand, it must have been her and Yi Xixing going to the library together.
After descending the steps of the breeding pond, there was originally a path to the northwest that led directly to the treehouse. But now the path has been covered by fallen trees on both sides, and fortunately there are no towering trees on either side of the path, otherwise it would be very troublesome to clean up.
Yi Xixing walked in front of the donkey to clear the way for her, and by the time they arrived at the library, Yi Xixing's arms were already covered with small cuts from tree branches.
"Brother Xixing, does it hurt?" said that Yi Xixing cleaned his wound distressedly.
"It doesn't hurt......" Yi Xixing said that it didn't hurt, but his face was still twisted to the side.
"I knew that I would have brought some special medicine prepared by Elder Bai......" Yu Xuan was cautious, for fear of hurting Yi Xixing.
"Who knew that the clan land would become like this...... Okay, okay, I'm fine. Let's go to the bookstore. Compared to his arm full of wounds, Yi Xixing wanted to know more about the current situation in the bookstore.
After Yi Xixing and Su Xuan left, Kong Li circled around the huge banyan tree in the breeding pond, because he didn't know what to say to Huai Xun, in order to avoid embarrassment, he had nothing to do, touched the trunk of the banyan tree, and buckled the bark of the banyan tree.
"Hey!" shouted Kaoru.
Kong Li didn't seem to hear it and didn't respond.
"Hey, I said, ......" Huai Xun turned around and found that Kong Li, who was supposed to be in the pool, was gone, "Kong Li! Where have you been?"
However, Kong Li still did not respond.
Behind the breeding pond is the cliff, and Huai Xun is really afraid that Kong Li will fall under the cliff if he is not careful.
"Kong Li! Kong Li! Don't joke with me!" "Kong Li!" shouted Huai Xun, so anxious that tears were about to come out.
Yi Xixing lightly touched the door of the study house, and the rattan woven door seemed to be stupefied, and it fell apart in an instant.
"Uh...... It's only been 1 month and no one has taken care of it...... The doors are all in tatters, and I don't know what will become of the library......" Yi Xixing muttered.
"Brother Sunset, look at ......"
Yi Xixing looked in the direction of his finger, the north wall had been crushed by a giant tree, and the bookshelf leaning against the wall had also fallen to the ground, not to mention the books on the shelf, all of which were soaked in the stagnant water on the ground. The bookshelves on the east and west sides are still intact and have not fallen into the water, but they have become twisted due to the influence of the north wall.
Fortunately, the north shelf is full of fiction books, even if it is destroyed, it will not be too distressing.
"I'll go to the bookshelf on the west wall to take a look, Xiaoxuan, you go to the bookshelf on the east wall to take a look, if I remember correctly, the east shelf is on the top left hand side, and there is a mythological history of Shenzhou......"
"Brother Xixing, is that one?" Su Xuan had already seen the book, but he was too short to reach it.
"Yes, yes, yes! That's it. It seems that there is no need to look for it on the bookshelf on the west wall, Yi Xixing walked to the bookshelf on the east side, reached out and went around the head of the widow, and took the book.
The book was wet in my hand, and although it had not fallen into the water, it was soaked by the rainwater left behind from the collapsed tree trunk.
"It's a pity......" Yi Xixing carefully opened the book, and the pages between the pages seemed to be glued, and he couldn't turn it at all. Occasionally, there is a page that can be turned over, and the handwriting on it is blurred. In addition, this book was originally a manuscript handed down from ancient times, and the ink has long been soaked by the rain.
"Are there any other important books in the library?" said Sudbat, scouring the shelves.
"I'll take a look......" Yi Xixing also took a turn in the bookstore, those books about the history of the demon race, the history of the human race, the history of the war between the human race and the demon race, and the earlier ancient myths, including those written in words he didn't know, were gone.
"It's strange that some of the books I've seen here before are now gone...... Could it be that Yi Bo was taken away?" Yi Xixing frowned.
"Hopefully......" Su Xuan comforted Yi Xixing, "Then let's go back to the breeding pond and join Sister Xun and them......"
"It seems that there is nothing we want here, let's go back......" Yi Xixing nodded.
The two of them returned the same way, but when they arrived at the breeding pool, they found that Huai Xun and Kong Li were gone.
"Ah Xun, Kong Li, where are you two?" Yi Xixing shouted loudly.
But apart from his echoes, there was no response from Huai Xun and Kong Li.
"Sister Xun, Brother Kong Li, where are you two? Brother Xixing and I are back!" But again, there was no response.
"Hey, we're here!" I saw Huai Kaoru's face suddenly appear on the banyan tree.
"Wow! It's not the middle of the night, otherwise you'll have to scare me out!" Yi Xixing turned around coldly, and only Huai Xun's face appeared on the trunk of the banyan tree, how scary it was.
"Sister Kaoru, why did you run into the tree?" his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Come in, come in. Kaoru retracted her face back into the tree.
Yi Xixing and Fu Yu slammed into the tree in disbelief, thinking that they could enter the inside of the tree through the bark, but they hit the tree solidly, and both of them squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands......
