I looked at Ling'er between words, but Ling'er kept shaking her head: "Impossible, if the Tulip family had traveled to China many times, it would not have been plagued by curses all the time." ”

I said in a deep voice, "This is the most important place, where have all the snake-turning children of the Tulip family gone?"

Ling'er's face changed slightly, and she stammered, "...... them They were taken into the dungeon...... And then...... And then fend for itself......"

I looked at Ling'er, "Have you seen the snake-turning clansmen in the dungeon?"

"No!" Ling'er shook her head and said, "Even after I took over as the patriarch, I haven't been to see the dungeon. ”

I asked again, "Where's your dumb slave?"

"I don't have a dumb slave!" Ling'er's face turned pale: "Every dumb slave of the patriarch was raised by the previous dumb slave, and many dumb slaves even grew up with the patriarch since childhood. It was a complete surprise that I was able to take over as patriarch, and if I hadn't awakened the ability in the Dark Castle, it would have been Annie who would have taken over as patriarch. Therefore, the family has not had time to train a dumb slave for me. ”

I narrowed my eyes and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the patriarch of the Tulip family has been arranged since birth?"

"Yes!" Ling'er nodded slightly, "When I was a child, I was not valued by the family. No one has ever cultivated me except my master......"

I nodded, "I see, the real secret of the tulip is not in the hands of the patriarch, but in the hands of the dumb slaves. ”

I said in a deep voice, "Look carefully, the dumb slave statue outside. Why did the statue appear to be the gouged out eyes when it was placed on the bow of the ship as the guardian of the Tulip family, and why did the secret of the Tulip family have to be engraved on the tongue of the mute slave?"

"The words on the tongue represent that the dumb slave holds the real secret, because he does not have a tongue so that he will not reveal the secret. The statue gouges out the eyes of the dumb slaves, in fact, telling you that there are things in the tomb that the dumb slaves should not see. Therefore, the dumb slave could only remain in the tomb. And ......"

I paused and said, "I don't know, my guess is right, but I think there must be something in this ship tomb that has something to do with sound, and when a person becomes blind, his sense of hearing becomes extremely sensitive." Perhaps, that statue is a reminder to the future generations of tulips, pay attention to something?"

Ling'er shook her head and said, "I don't know, I know too little about the secrets of tulips." ”

I said in a deep voice, "How did the last patriarch of Tulip die?"

Suddenly he died, and the dumb slaves around him also died violently. No medical examiner can find out the cause of their deaths......" Ling'er hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have always suspected that their deaths were related to my master. After I was appointed as the heir to the patriarch, the patriarch died suddenly, and it all happened too coincidentally. Many elders felt that it was me who colluded with the demon star to kill the patriarch, and the reason why I had not been able to fully control the family was also here. ”

Ling'er sighed and said, "I also once asked Master if the death of the patriarch was related to him. However, my master did not admit it, and I can only doubt it. ”

I hesitated for a moment before saying, "Who is your master?"

"My master has never told me who he is, I have always felt that he is a probe, a very good probe. Ling'er said, "Master just told me that his surname is Ren." I can call him Mr. Ren!"

"Mr. Ren?Ren Zongheng?Dragon Eight Desolations Ren Zongheng?" I don't know why I think of Ren Zongheng, probably in my heart, Ren Zongheng is the third mysterious person beyond my cognition, the other two are Wang Zhan and my dad, I have always felt that Wang Zhan and my dad may not be the same person, so I have always regarded them as two people.

The fox mother also told me that Ren Zongheng is the most mysterious person among the five unique gods of exploration, and there is no one. Ren Zongheng has always been alone, and he often does things unexpectedly. According to her information, except for the other four people in the Five Uniques, there are no more than a few people who can come into contact with Ren Zongheng. However, the masters and resources that Ren Zongheng can call on far exceed everyone's imagination. Moreover, Ren Zongheng rarely appears at the headquarters of the Detective Hand, and many people speculate that Ren Zongheng has actually left Huaxia a long time ago and has been exploring various forbidden areas abroad.

Could Ling'er's master be Ren Zongheng?

If this is the case, the death of the patriarch of the Tulip family becomes intriguing.

I quickly put aside the doubts in my mind and continued, "Let's not talk about these Tulip Family problems for now! ”

My voice sank and said, "First of all, there should be some kind of guardian in this secret realm, but it doesn't have to be a human, it is likely to be a dragon, or simply a snake!"

Ling'er couldn't help but snort: "This ...... It's unlikely, isn't it? Snake, can there be such a high level of intelligence?"

"What if it's a human-turned-snake?" I asked rhetorically, "You once confronted a shapeshifting dragon in the Narcissus Temple, and you were talking at that time?"

Ling'er nodded silently: "At that time, I did understand what it was saying......? But I dare not tell you, I am afraid that you will be considered a monster. And...... I'm scared myself, nothing like this has ever happened before. ”

Ling'er seems to be strong, but in fact, her heart may not match her capable appearance.

In fact, many people are like this, in the rivers and lakes that pursue the law of the jungle, no one will show their vulnerability at will, even in the face of a desperate situation, there are many people who have to hold their heads up, this is not only a person in the rivers and lakes to protect themselves, but also represents their last dignity.

Once upon a time, I also wanted to lean on someone's body and cry, to vent my vulnerability, but I couldn't, the moment the detective hand began to cry, it means that his tears will corrode his blade, the knife is rusty, the person is decadent, and the rivers and lakes will naturally be gone. Sometimes, I have to be strong, to block the rivers and lakes in front of me, to protect the beloved behind me.

At that moment, it seemed that he could understand Ling'er, and he seemed to feel that she was more like a mystery.

Ling'er didn't know what I was thinking, and continued: "That snake has been asking me, who are you, where are you from? I can understand, but I don't know how to answer, so I can only respond to each other with the same syllable. ”

I roughly recalled the scene at that time, and the syllables in Ling'er's mouth were indeed exactly the same as the snake, as if parroting with each other.

Ling'er said, "I've asked the snake many times, but it hasn't answered me anything?"

I nodded, "If the guardian of this secret realm is a human, then it will definitely leave clues. At least they need to go out in search of food and fresh water. In the case of snakes, they may not eat or drink for years, or they may survive by preying on fish in the water. It's like the golden snake in the crack of the stone. At that time, it was spitting letters at me, not to show intimidation, but to discern the smell of my body. ”

"If you don't come in with me, the snake won't give way to us. Perhaps, that snake just took me for your dumb slave. will let us into the grotto. ”

When I said this, I raised another finger and said: "The second reason why I think that the guardians of the secret realm are not human is that you told me that the tulip tomb cannot follow the normal path, and must go through the mechanism, which means that there must be some kind of deadly ambush on the deck." However, the Divine Detective Hand followed us closely and went down the second floor without a bloody blade. It means that the mechanism on the first layer has not been activated. ”

Ling'er nodded again and again: "That's why I suspect that there are guardians in the secret realm, otherwise, how could the other party choose to intercept and kill when the god probe's hand is defeated?"

I shook my head and said, "This is the terrible thing about the Tulip Ancestor, and it also proves that he is an extremely terrifying feng shui master." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the trap left on the first floor of the cabin is either some kind of living corpse or a sleeping viper. It's roughly the same as the Grey-robed Warlock's headless corpse we see beneath Shark Reef, and it requires some kind of external force to activate. The thing that activates the Grey Warlock is the human head, and the thing that activates the Tulip Guard is the aura that explodes from the sandbox. ”

I couldn't help but stop when I said this: "Actually, it is very likely that we have also fallen for your ancestors. Perhaps, what two dragons and pearls outside is a scam, no matter what feng shui bureau we take it as, the final result is that the sky is falling apart and the aura is leaking. ”

"Once something happens on the second floor, the real Tulip Patriarch must know to escape by hiding in the statue room, but the first reaction of outsiders is to suppress the leyline, or rush out of the cabin to escape. The aura that exploded from the leylines activated the guards on the first floor through the cracks in the cabin, and those who rushed to the deck could only face a dilemma. This is the calculation of the ancestors of tulips. ”

I raised my hand and pointed to the canopy of the secret room: "There are only two people here, and that's the best proof of that." Because, the Tulip Ancestor knew that the only people who could enter the secret room were the Tulip patriarch and the dumb slave, and no one else would appear. ”

Ling'er thought for a while before whispering, "But didn't you crack the Erlong Pearls Game and take us down?"

I said in a deep voice, "That's the second thing I'm going to say. Don't you think it's strange that the hatch of our secret room hasn't opened for a long time? The Tulip Ancestor must have calculated the possibility that a feng shui master would enter the tomb. So, she deliberately set a second trap. Make the feng shui bureau outside virtual. I estimate that even if Old Man Lin cracks the Feng Shui Bureau according to the two dragons fighting for pearls, it will be the same result. Because the Tulip Ancestor wanted to give his opponent the illusion that he had cracked the Feng Shui Bureau, in order to get the master who could force his way through the aura whirlwind to the third layer and trap him to death in a secret room. ”

I said in a deep voice: "The real killer move, I'm afraid it's coming soon." ”
