Today's impression of the slums in Cannes has not changed much, but it is less crowded and cobweb-like noise, it is like an ancient dead city, silent as a cicada, Yu Ziying does not squint, and walks through the streets and alleys with a familiar route in his mind.

Yu Ziying's steps are as light as a cat, and his voice is quiet, like green smoke and wind in the gray buildings and forests, plus everyone else is covered with green flakes in the desolation of Kangcheng, inexplicably attracting attention with a fascinating and strange atmosphere, and in the blink of an eye, when they come back to their senses, they have lost the trace of Yu Ziying in front of them.

"Huh? Where did she go? What about people," Hua Qian and the others walked around casually behind Yu Ziying's buttocks, but they stared in surprise at the dead end under the withered apricot tree in front of them, which was more than three meters high.

In fact, after they entered the city, especially after touring all the way, they basically maintained extreme doubts about whether there were people in Cannes who bought and sold shops, and even whether there was anyone at all.

Who knows, walking and walking, ha, but people are lost!

"Heh~ It seems that this city is more interesting than Ben Hou imagined, let's go, go to other places to see." Nu is not a person who does not hit the south wall and never looks back, he can realize that these crooked paths are nothing special at first glance, but after the group walked around the twists and turns, they could not find the direction of the starting point at all.

And he also saw that Yu Ziying deliberately got rid of them this time and acted alone, with her ability, if she was taken away, or accidentally broke into some traps and secret passages, it was impossible to leave no traces or clues.

Such silence can only prove that she left voluntarily.

"But, but the baby ......" Si hesitated to nail in place, and a pair of misty beautiful eyes stared at the black wall in front of him.

Xiao Baoyin stared at Si with squinted eyes, her heart was like being scratched by a cat, she was puzzled, what was wrong, he seemed to have completely changed as a person, not only his personality had completely changed, but he even directly denied her existence.

Originally, she thought that he said that he didn't know her because he was afraid of being misunderstood by Yu Ziying, but as time went by, his behavior and behavior were like a stranger, and there was no trace of beginning.

Hua Qian stepped forward unbelievingly, knocked on the left and right mallets on the three high walls in the alley, and finally seemed to be like a swallow turned over and jumped, stepped on the top of the wall, stretched out his hand to pluck the dry apricot branches, looked at the wall from afar, looked at the wall quickly, quickly covered his nose with a strange and surprised face, and then looked back at them and said: "Behind and on the side is a sewage and dirty discharge place, and it doesn't look like someone can live at all...... Hey, so where the hell did she go? ”

Obviously, what Hua Qian thinks in his heart is the same as anger, Yu Ziying is an automatic message, not taken captive or taken away, in Hua Quan's heart, Yu Ziying is already as strong as a monster, who can take her away silently?

"There's more to this city than that, since she disappeared on purpose, there's nothing to worry about, let's wander around and see if we can find something more interesting, presumably she will appear on her own accord soon." Angrily bent his eyes, his eyes were like the clear lake water rippling with microwaves under the spring sun, as if he had measured everything, and after saying that, he turned around and left.

Xiao Baoyin also understood that Yu Ziying had left by herself, and her heart was relieved, and she also felt that Brother Nu's words were reasonable, so she glanced back at Shi and Hua Quan, and whispered Let's go, and followed the angry body and walked together.

Hua Qian thought about it, this is also the truth, this Yu Ziying's behavior when she entered Cannes this time is weird, as if she came with some kind of purpose, since she doesn't need them, then they simply won't delay her "errand", hum.

Only Si still stood in the alley with a look on his face, the wind brought up the corner of the light gauze and soft curtain, he was wearing a black silk silk fine pattern bottom brocade shirt, a large lotus pattern appeared on the black clothes, and the corners of Hua Quan's eyes were raised.

He couldn't figure it out, did they Central Plains people like black widow-like colors? Except for Yu Ziying's melanin black, the guys who are angry with this division are not far from this unlucky color.

In the eyes of exotics, the more brilliant and colorful the color, the luckier and festive, monochrome or black gray such a faint color is not liked.

He walked over, using the petite figure of "Mu Xiaofeng", slapped his shoulder with a very heroic palm, and then grabbed his wrist, ignoring his negligible resistance force, and said angrily: "Don't look at it, even if you look at it, no one will come out of the wall, and we will all leave you later, and you will be left alone, be careful of being caught by ghosts and eaten in the hole in the wall." ”

Si froze suddenly, forgetting to resist.

Hua Quan's eyes were sharp, and when he saw his reaction, he laughed evilly in his heart, it turned out that he was really afraid of ghosts, so he continued to threaten: "So you better go with us obediently, otherwise ah......" He wanted to take the person away half-pulled and half-pulled, but he didn't want to be suddenly broken away by a force, and he was almost hit by the impact against the wall.

He stroked his numb left hand, and when he turned around in astonishment, he saw that Si was slowly arranging the wrinkled sleeve that he had just pulled, and the temperament around him seemed to change in an instant, full of sharp and sharp edges, and the quality was proud and frosty.

"Don't touch me." Shi glanced at Hua Qian coldly, as if sneering, and as if staring at the air mockingly, and said, "It's really a fool to be bluffed by such a nonsense." ”

"You, you...... Possessed by a demon? Hua Quan's face changed and he exclaimed.

Shi directly ignored Hua Quan, and staggered past him, his waist was tightly tied with his belt, his steps were light and vigorous, like a black cloud floating in the sky, his posture was conceited and his eyes were empty, and he walked away with the momentum around him, which was very different from the cowardly appearance in front of Yu Ziying.

"Damn, I was tricked, this kid is obviously deliberately pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, pretending to be pitiful and weak in front of that woman, and that woman will become an uncle as soon as she leaves, I'll fuck it!"

Hua Qian was dumbfounded, and then suddenly came back to his senses, and after a little thought of it, he suddenly turned dark, raised his middle finger, and cursed fiercely in the direction where he left.

——

At the other end, there was a heavy click, and a good gray and white stone wall flipped over, and a black dress was plain, with snow skin and autumn frost, although the face was covered with black veil, but it still showed its indifferent expression, and a girl about fourteen or five years old came out of the wall.

This girl is none other than Yu Ziying.

As soon as she got out of the wall, she came alone to a ruined temple with no tiles and few walls, this ruined temple was surrounded by a fence, and the dam was covered with some scattered dry straw and broken rotten wood, and the ground was dripping and muddy and soft when she walked, but she didn't care, and walked inside, her face expressionless.

The temple is really dilapidated, the corners of the wall are covered with dust and cobwebs, the wall is cracked and breathable, the stone Buddha statue in the middle of the temple is also missing arms and legs, she holds her breath inside, trying not to touch anything, she went straight around a square of wooden shelves that were originally candles, and walked to a clay embryo, where a small dirt slope was slightly raised, and a few bricks and stones were placed on the soil slope to form a character.

Yu Ziying condensed the word "product" for a long time, and her body was covered with a thin shadow due to the blocking of the light around her, which made her face ominous-this is the tomb of the old beggar who adopted Yuwenzi's baby.

He died of illness in this ruined temple, and his bones were buried here.

Yu Ziying slowly squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil on the ground and rubbed it with his fingertips, and then his eyes were as sharp as electricity, and he suddenly slapped it with a palm, and the force shook the entire temple as if it had been shaken by an earthquake, and then the ground of the pile of graves in front of Yu Ziying suddenly became empty and sunken.

Yu Ziying picked up a half-mossy wooden plank from the side, dug into the grave for a while, and finally exposed it in the pit in front of him, where there was nothing.

Not to mention bones, not even a scrap of clothing.

"It's empty......" she murmured meaninglessly.

"Who!"

When Yu Ziying's grave digging stopped, a scream that seemed to be shocked and angry suddenly came from behind her, and Yu Ziying sounded a little familiar at first glance.

When she turned around, she saw a fierce young man, holding a thick wooden plank and rushing over, and when he saw Yu Ziying who turned around, his killing action froze, and he raised a pair of tiger eyes to look in the dark, slightly puzzled and surprised.

The light was dim just now, and he was so angry that he didn't notice it for a while, the sneaky figure hiding in the temple was actually a woman?!

"Who are you! You ......" Suddenly, his eyes crossed Yu Ziying's shoulder, and when he saw the ruined grave, he was shocked: "Bastard! What did you do to the grave of the old beggar! ”

"What about the people in the grave?" Yu Ziying didn't seem to see his anger at all, and asked indifferently.

The young man in a khaki short coat with a short leg of pants was stunned by her question, and blurted out: "What did you say?" ”

Yu Ziying moved sideways so that he could see the situation of the grave more clearly, and the young man saw that there was nothing but dirt under the hollowed-out grave, and he was suddenly dumbfounded.

"Why is there no corpse of the old beggar?" The young man, who was still angry just now, was dazed and surprised at the moment.

Observing his expression does not seem to be fake, Yu Ziying guessed that this grave was not dug by the people of this Kangcheng, after all, according to the situation just now, he was able to detect the movement in the temple so quickly and rushed over, presumably he lived near here, and ordinary people digging graves belonged to the big movement after all, and it was impossible not to notice it at all.

Moreover, she had specially observed the soil next to the grave just now, and there was no trace of the soil on it having been turned, but there were traces of the way the character was stacked and rearranged after it had been moved.

What does this mean?

Yu Ziying pondered for a moment, and when she saw that something she suspected was confirmed, she turned to leave, but was stopped by the tiger's young man with his outstretched arm.

His eyes widened, and his face was blurred in the gloomy temple, but his voice was full of breath and clear: "You, who are you?" Why did you come to dig the grave of the old beggar? ”

"What does this old beggar have to do with you?" Yu Ziying didn't move, but glanced at him in a sloppy manner.

That one, not much could be seen clearly in the dark, but the young man still felt a cold current rushing through his body, and finally slipped into the bottom of his heart for a burst of agitation, and he couldn't help but take a step back: "No, it doesn't matter." ”

Naturally, it doesn't matter, the old beggar is notoriously withdrawn and difficult to get along with, no matter whether others treat him well or badly, he will always have only one attitude towards others - indifference, just like the people of this city are all living skeletons in his eyes, which does not mean anything.

Yuwen Ziying is the only person he is close to and has all his attention.

"Since it doesn't matter, in what capacity are you questioning me?" Yu Ziying grimaced and continued to ask unceremoniously.

"I, I......" the young man "I" for a long time, and "I" didn't make a fart, and finally he simply puffed up his chest and said: "I look at your appearance, you must not be a person in our slums at all, but I have lived in the slums since I was born, and an outsider like you of unknown origin has only one end when you enter the slums, hum, do you think you know what it is?" ”

As he spoke, he snorted mysteriously in a strange tone.

"What is it?"

Yu Ziying was not as scared as he expected, but took a few steps closer and asked with a bit of inquiry.

The boy suffocated, it was the first time he had met such a bold outsider, and he was still a young girl who should have heard the voice, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but want to see what she looked like.

Seeing that the boo couldn't scare her, the young man coughed lightly, straightened his face, waved his hand and said perfunctorily: "Forget it, don't scare you, you better leave quickly, since there is no body in the old beggar's grave, then I won't care about you." ”

"But I want to walk around the city......"

"No way!" The young man shouted suddenly, the loud echo echoed in the empty temple, and he also came back to his senses and realized that his reaction was too great, so he pursed his lips, lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Seeing that you are a girl, I will warn you, and leave this city quickly, this city...... It's dangerous! ”

"You lied to me." Yu Ziying shook her head, her tone full of doubts: "I came to this city many years ago, and it is not dangerous at all, but it is a little poor." ”

It is rare for a young man to be kind, and all men have a heart of pity and cherishment, especially a young man who lives in a narrow place like Cannes and has strong blood, seeing that he is so suspicious, he immediately became extremely angry and said: "It was before, and now it is now, don't you look at the people in the city who are afraid to hide?" ”

The boy was choked by her incomprehensible tone.

"yes, where did all the people in the city go? I haven't seen anyone since I entered the city except a black cat? Yu Ziying flashed a pair of black eyes and took the aisle casually.

At first glance, the young man is the kind of person who has no scheming, and when his temper rushes, he can't help but say something: "That's because it's ...... in the city."

"Ling'er! What are you doing here? Before the secret of the young man's mouth was revealed, a burly and violent voice sounded at the door, which frightened the young man and his throat with a mouthful of words.

"Daddy......"

He shuddered and turned his head.

Yu Ziying knew that there was a person hiding in the dark and peeping at them, because that person had no killing intent, so she guessed that it must have something to do with the young man, he had been hiding it, and he interrupted at this moment, presumably the young man was about to say something that would either bring them murder or kill her, so he would be so cautious and severe.

Her eyesight was outstanding, and her eyes flashed with dark gold, and she felt that her sight was like day, and she also saw the middle-aged strong man at the door clearly.

He had rough facial features, a Chinese face, a dark complexion, eyes like electricity, a tall and burly figure, wearing an earthy yellow coat similar to that of a young man, and a pair of straw sandals, and strode in.

It turned out to be him...... Uncle Quan Qi, in Yuwen Ziying's memory, he is an old blacksmith in the slums, because he has a craft, but he is a little better than many people in the city, he used to secretly appear in this temple where the old beggar lived for a while, and after being bumped into a few times by Yuwen Ziying, he stopped coming.

And this young man's name is Ling Er, so he must be the slug who loves to spin behind Yuwenzi's baby's buttocks.

Unexpectedly, I came back this time and met an "acquaintance" from a long time ago.

After this slum was changed into Cannes, not only the name changed, but now even the people in the city have changed.

It's taboo, it's dodgy, and — it's very xenophobic.

What is there in this city that she shouldn't know, but is related to "Yuwen Ziying"?

Yu Ziying inexplicably had a feeling that the old beggar was not simple, and this Cannes City was not simple.

Yuwen Ziying's life experience, the secrets of the Teng Snake royal family, and even the truth of the destruction of the Teng Snake clan...... She ignored it before and let it go, but now that she has decided not to give up the Seven Sects of the Teng Snake, and since she has decided to completely accept the identity of the Teng Snake Royal Family, then the responsibilities and obligations that come with it, she will not quibble and stay out of the matter.

Since the slum is the beginning of all traces of Yuwen Ziying, the truth and clues that Yu Ziying is looking for must also start from here.

Obviously, this trip gave her a good start.
