When Yue Qingshan saw the number in the old man's hand, he took out seven silver coins from his waist and handed them to the old man.

The old man did not take the silver coin in his hand, but pushed Yue Qingshan's hand holding the silver coin, pointed to the wood carving in his hand, and drew the number seven again. Everyone around looked at this scene and was puzzled.

Finally, someone couldn't help it, and shouted, "Stinky old man, don't be dissatisfied, your son-in-law is willing to pay seven silver coins to buy your broken wood carving, you should be secretly happy, how dare you shirk?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience nodded yes, and some even began to curse. The old man didn't seem to be able to hear the movement around him at all, and he still looked at Yue Qingshan with a smile on his face, and kept gesturing with the action just now in his hand.

Yue Qingshan didn't mean to blame the old man, he took out seven gold coins from his waist and handed them to the old man again. When the old man saw the gold coin in his hand, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly pushed Yue Qingshan's hand away again. Suddenly, the old man seemed to think of something, groped around on himself, and finally took out a copper coin from his bosom. He pointed to the wood carving, the number seven, and finally the copper coin in his hand.

After watching the old man's gestures, Yue Qingshan finally understood what he meant, so he took out seven copper coins again. This time, the old man did not shirk, happily put away the copper coin, and continued to sit on the ground and carve wooden blocks.

Yue Qingshan put away the wood carving, looked at the old man with interest, and then left the market. The onlookers now finally understood that the old man was not only deaf and dumb, but also stupid. Seeing that Yue Qingshan had already left, everyone dispersed and did what he had to do.

The old man Hu Lin Yicheng, after successfully attracting Yue Qingshan's attention, did not leave, and still set up a stall in the market to carve wooden blocks. It wasn't until the market was about to close that he staggered away.

Hu Lin did not return to the courtyard in Yuanjing, and after buying some dry food on the street, he came to the area where Mei Quan and the others had ambushed him. Here I found an abandoned house, cleaned it up, made a fire, and ate the dry food I had just bought.

Hu Lin's daily life became regular again, going to the market early in the morning to set up a stall, and returning to the dilapidated house in the evening to spend the night. Yue Qingshan still often appears in the market, but he has not bought his wood carvings again. And for the first time, I saw the interested eyes of the old man dressed up as Hu Lin, and it did not appear in his eyes again.

Of course, Yue Qingshan didn't do nothing, in the past half a month, he sent people to keep an eye on the old man carving wood every day, and at the same time sent many people to investigate him.

One morning, half a month later, Hu Lin got up early in the morning and walked towards the market, as usual. But as soon as he walked out of the courtyard of the dilapidated house, suddenly a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian student blocked his way.

The man who stood in the way didn't say anything, just made a gesture in front of the old man who was easy to disguise in front of Hu Lin. After the old man saw it, he hurriedly gestured towards him. At the same time, his mind was spinning rapidly, it seemed that this Yue Qingshan had taken the bait, but he should still test himself.

The person who stopped Hu Lin was proficient in sign language, and the gesture he made in front of Hu Lin just now was saying that the lord of Juxian Zhai wanted to invite him to come over to the house. Hu Lin was afraid of leaking out of the horse's feet, so he immediately used broken sign language to ask what kind of place the man Juxianzhai was. Fortunately, Hu Lin learned a lot in the Demon Valley, and this sign language is also one of them.

After the man saw Hu Lin's lame sign language, there was a hint of joy in his eyes, although it was fleeting, it could not escape Hu Lin's eyes. After watching Hu Lin's analogy, the man first introduced himself, and then briefly introduced Juxian Zhai.

This person's name is Li Zhong, and he is the chief housekeeper of Juxian Zhai. In fact, these days, Li Zhong has been secretly observing Hu Lin. After investigation, he found that the old man in front of him had just come to Lincheng, and because he was deaf and mute, there was no acquaintance in the city at all. Every day, I just go back and forth between the broken house and the market, and make a living by selling wood carvings. Except for carving wood and selling wood carving, I didn't do anything else at all.

Hu Lin was looking at Li Zhong's sign language very seriously on the surface, and interrupted from time to time, pretending to ask what he couldn't understand. He knew in his heart that this Li Zhong must have appeared after observing himself, fortunately, he has been living as an ordinary person these days, if he shows his martial arts or other abilities, I am afraid that this Li Zhong will not show up.

After reading Li Zhong's brief introduction to Juxianzhai, Hu Lin did not answer in a hurry. It's just that the three expressions of doubt, surprise, and fear are constantly intertwined and changed on his old face. Li Zhong was very satisfied with the expression on Hu Lin's face now, he didn't say anything to the old man, just stood aside and waited.

After some "struggle", Hu Lin finally made a decision, he motioned to Li Zhong to wait a while, and turned around and went back to the broken house. Although Li Zhong stood still and did not move, his eyes never left Hu Lin. When he saw Hu Lin cleaning up the miscellaneous items left in the broken house, he nodded secretly, and said secretly in his heart, "This time, I really found a good servant for the young master, after all, the young master admires his wood carvings very much." ”

What Li Zhong thought in his heart, Hu Lin naturally didn't know, after he finished cleaning up the things in the broken house, he carefully checked to make sure that nothing was left, and then followed Li Zhong towards Juxianzhai. Because of taking care of Hu Lin, the "old man", Li Zhong did not walk very fast, and when the day was already higher than the city wall, the two came to the door of Juxianzhai.

Coming to the door of Juxianzhai, Li Zhong stopped and made a gesture of invitation to Hu Lin behind him. When he turned around, he found that Hu Lin was standing in place, and he didn't see his posture at all. Looking at the expression on Hu Lin's face that he had never seen the world, Li Zhong stabbed him helplessly, and then made a gesture of invitation again. Only then did Hu Lin raise his staggering and flustered steps and stepped into the gate of Juxian Zhai.

Li Zhong took Hu Lin around the courtyard of Juxian Zhai for a while, and stopped his footsteps outside the door of an ordinary-looking room, and Hu Lin also stopped with him. Li Zhong gestured at Hu Lin again, then opened the door and motioned for Hu Lin to enter.

Hu Lin knew that he couldn't hide from what he should come, and Li Zhong's gesture just now was to let him go in and wash it, and then go to see Yue Qingshan. When Hu Lin left the broken house to clean up his things, he applied needles to himself to cut off his hearing and speech skills, and no matter how they checked it, they would think that Hu Lin was deaf and mute. Not only that, Hu Lin also ate Sanling Grass (an herb that can dissipate the true power in a warrior's body for a short time. This is also so that Yue Qingshan can't find out that he is a martial artist.

What Hu Lin was most worried about being exposed was the bath, not that he had no confidence in the master's disguise technique and the mask, but the two marks on his body. The fox mark left after signing the contract with the little fox is okay, just now he used his soul to communicate with Mei'er, so that the fox mark disappeared temporarily. But the heart-shaped mark on his chest, Hu Lin couldn't think of a way to cover it up.

I thought that Yue Qingshan would not be so quick to check whether he was disguised, but I didn't expect that this guy was still a master who didn't play cards according to common sense. Hu Lin had no choice but to obediently go in and take a bath, only hoping that Yue Qingshan would not doubt the heart-shaped imprint on his chest. Li Zhong saw that Hu Lin had gone in to take a bath, so he closed the door and walked quickly into another door.

Li Zhong entered the room and immediately closed the door. It turned out that there was also a young man in the house, who was sitting next to a mirror crystal. This person was Yue Qingshan, who was now engrossed in staring at the round crystal in front of him.

"Young master, the old man with the wood carving has been brought into the room...... Li Zhong said with a bow to Yue Qingshan.

Yue Qingshan's eyes did not leave the crystal, and he hooked his hand at Li Zhong and said, "You can also come and help me see if there are any traces of disappearance on this old man's body." ”

Hearing Yue Qingshan's command, Li Zhong immediately walked to the front of the crystal and carefully observed it with him. At this time, in the crystal ball was the back of Hu Lin's wide clothes. When one of the clothes on Hu Lin's body fell off, an old body appeared in the eyes of Yue Qingshan's master and servant.

The two watched carefully, for fear of missing a single detail, but they could not find any trace of disfigurement from Hu Lin's back, but this would not be until he came out of the water to make a final judgment. But when Hu Lin turned around, the eyes of Yue Qingshan's master and servant were attracted by the heart-shaped mark on his chest at the same time.

Yue Qingshan tapped the crystal ball twice, and Hu Lin's chest was enlarged in the picture, and the mark was clearly displayed in the eyes of the two. It was a heart shape composed entirely of incantations, and a demon's face was trapped inside, but this face seemed to be sleeping, and it did not appear as evil as expected.

"Young master, there is something wrong with this old man! How could an ordinary person have such an imprint on his body?" Li Zhong's surprised voice reached Yue Qingshan's ears.

"Demonic Mark...... And it's also a Demon Ancestor-level slave seal, how could it appear on such an ordinary old man?" Looking at the grimace in the mark, Yue Qingshan's puzzled voice blurted out. This voice reached Li Zhong's ears, making him a little confused.

Yue Qingshan felt that something was wrong at the same time that his words came out, and he turned his head and shouted, "Listen! I don't want the third person to know what I said just now!"

When Li Zhong heard his words, he hurriedly shrank down and saluted, and said in a trembling voice, "Young master, don't worry, the old slave will never say it......"

Yue Qingshan seemed to feel that his attitude just now was too much, and smiled at Li Zhong and said, "Uncle Zhong...... I didn't blame you. It's just that what I said casually just now involves too many things, and it's not a good thing for you to know it......"

Li Zhong hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Old slave, thank you young master for your concern! The old slave will forget about what happened just now, and he will definitely not let the third person know!"

Yue Qingshan still trusted Li Zhong, so he smiled and said to him, "Okay, the next test on the old man will not be necessary."

Li Zhong was puzzled in his heart, but he never dared to say it, the expression on Yue Qingshan's face just now was too terrifying. He found that after Yue Qingshan finished speaking, his eyes stayed on the demon face mark, and only then did he put down the heart he had just raised a lot.

In fact, Yue Qingshan gave up the next test on Hu Lin because of the demon face mark on his chest. This mark was unknown to others, but Yue Qingshan knew it very clearly. From the swirling mouth on the demon's face, he recognized that it was the slave seal that devoured the Demon Ancestor. It is different from the ordinary Demon Seal, it is the slave mark planted by the strongest Devouring Demon Ancestor in history.

It's just that the slave mark in front of him is a little special, and the slave mark planted by the Devouring Demon Ancestor is usually there, and there will only be one to seven ripples in the whirlpool-like demon mouth. And the demonic mark on the old man's chest, there were actually nine ripples in the demon's mouth.

After Yue Qingshan confirmed the ripple repeatedly, he secretly said in his heart, "Could it be that the Devouring Demon Ancestor is sleeping in his body, or is he the Devouring Demon Ancestor himself?......?"
