Chapter Sixty-Eight: Another Name for the Slum
Yu Ziying felt that she might be overestimating the IQ of a reptilian snake.
This was the first thought that came to her when she was brought back to the ghost house of the ancient house she had left before.
"What do you think...... Will there be people in this garden of poisonous insects, snakes and ants that are as quiet as a ghost house? Yu Ziying sneered and asked knowingly.
The little green snake that was too rappy naturally couldn't understand, so it crooked the snake's head cutely, and a pair of round black snake pupils were exactly the same as Yu Ziying, black and big, like a bottomless pit that captivated people's souls.
“……”
Inexplicably there is a sense of disobedience with herself, it's just that it may only know to follow her orders to find out the source of the breath, but it doesn't know how to draw inferences, anyway, she felt strange about some of the smells in this desolate mansion before, so she chose to walk in again.
There must be no living people in the house, Yu Ziying had exuded his divine sense to carefully investigate, but because he had thought about sending the old beggar and the two of them out of Kangcheng as soon as possible, he had not carefully inspected the house.
The house is roughly square in shape, and is surrounded by east, south, west and north, and is surrounded by dense banyan trees in the southeast and west.
All the front of the house is fully facing the center of the yard, that is, the doors and windows are all facing the courtyard, this courtyard house is facing south in the north, the terrain is very good, Yu Ziying analyzes it with feng shui, the geographical location of Kangcheng is sunny to the south, and the wind is strong in winter, mostly the northwest wind, and the main house in the courtyard is mostly the north house facing north behind it, which is convenient to resist the north wind with a thick back wall.
In principle, this should be the case, but in reality, the feng shui of this house has basically been completely destroyed, and even the cathode magnetic field has been gathered.
Yu Ziying was a little surprised, it was not easy to turn a yang house with normal feng shui into a place of yin and ghosts.
She counted all the way, full of eyes, this house on both sides of the north room arranged the ear room, this is a very common architectural structure, the south side of the north room is arranged in the east and west, the north room is arranged in the opposite side of the inverted room, forming an independent enclosed living space.
In terms of architectural structure, it is an ordinary courtyard house, although it is not a high-end atmosphere, but it is also a beautiful residence for livable IKEA.
The center of the house is a square courtyard, in which the cross road is paved with stone bricks, and flowers and grasses are planted in the open space between the cross roads, and various fruit trees and plants are planted, and it is also a wide activity place.
But at this moment, all the creatures planted in the open space are rotten and withered, the banyan tree is flourishing and extending to shade the sun, and the ghost forest is in the shadow, standing at the intersection of the cross road of the house, Yu Ziying is inexplicably concerned about this, and the pupils are shining yellow like a cat's eye - what is the reason for this dilapidated situation, making the whole house a gloomy and uninhabitable dead house?
There will be a monster in it.
Yu Ziying enters the house, the architectural layout of this house is similar to the palace of the Ying Emperor where Yu Ziying once lived, its gate, two gates, the main house and the second and third courtyards are symmetrically arranged on a central axis, and the main house of these courtyards is the north room.
"There is no officialdom in the past, and there is no yin water cemetery in the past, and there is no yin water cemetery in the past, it seems that the problem should be in the ......house," Yu Ziying said in his heart.
There are a total of five rooms in the north room, including three side rooms and seven inverted seats, the door is open in the southeast corner, and the houses are connected by verandahs.
While Yu Ziying was walking in the house, the little green snake was wrapped around the snake body on Yu Ziying's wrist, and frequently spit out snake letters.
"The smell is getting stronger...... It seems that it should be the north......" Yu Ziying patted the little green snake's head soothingly, and continued to walk, when she once again stood in the bloodstained garden where the old beggar had been imprisoned just now, and the corpses of poisonous insects, scorpions and ants were all over the place, she paused, thought of something, and stepped forward to wrap up all the red ropes tied with bells in the courtyard of the house, and kept them private.
I don't know what material these red ropes are made of, they are very tough and shrinking, and they may be useful in the future if they are kept.
Between the wing room and the inverted seat room, build a partition wall to separate the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, when Yu Ziying stepped into the inner courtyard, the center of the partition wall was placed with a hanging flower door, and the shadow wall was set up at the entrance of the courtyard gate, Yu Ziying paused and watched for a moment at the shadow wall and the hanging flower door, and finally cracked the stone surface with a palm.
Intuitively, the content inlaid from the stone surface made Yu Ziying show a look of "sure enough".
What is hidden inside the stone wall of about 10 centimeters?
It is a skeleton, based on the thickness and size of the wall, at least about seven, Yu Ziying seems to understand, she walked to the wall of the courtyard, and directly violently slapped down, and suddenly the wall collapsed and shattered a corner, and when the dust and smoke settled, a piece of white bone wrapped in dried mud was scattered all over the ground.
"What exactly are they trying to do?" When Yu Ziying saw such a scene, although her face still remained calm, an ominous premonition appeared in her heart, just like ...... It's like there's going to be an inevitable calamity coming.
It turned out that the faint smell of this mansion was corpse gas, and it was a mansion made of corpses.
Yu Ziying doesn't believe in the sheep witch and doesn't know, otherwise there are thousands of houses in Kangcheng, why would she choose to live here?
What was the secret purpose of her and her companions lurking in Cannes?
"Let's go."
Yu Ziying suddenly rose from the ground, flew over the eaves and tiles like an eagle, and left the mansion of the extreme cathode - she remembered that Yang Wu had inadvertently revealed that she was going to take them to a place called the oil refinery and hand it over to a person named Lu Wu, although she didn't know where the oil refinery was, but she believed that Uncle Quan Qi should know.
There were also a few things she needed to know exactly from them.
Returning to the broken temple, of course, Uncle Quan Qi and Ling Shao were no longer there, but Yu Ziying believed that they would appear soon.
Sure enough, Yu Ziying meditated until fifty o'clock, and the two fathers and sons came from behind them with several men of different heights and heights.
"You...... What are you doing again?! Quan Ling stood up from behind Uncle Quan Qi, he looked at Yu Ziying in surprise with a pair of tiger eyes, and he didn't know whether to be angry or annoyed for a while.
Obviously left, why did you come back without thinking about it?
Is she a fool?
"Would you like to do me a favor?" The pure sound, like ice hitting jade, makes people sound inexplicably good.
Quan Ling blinked in confusion and pointed to the tip of his nose: "Me? ”
"That's right, it's you." Yu Ziying affirmed.
Quan Ling was dumbfounded, but was about to speak when he was interrupted angrily by Uncle Quan Qi: "You can't go anywhere!" Then he looked at Yu Ziying again, his face was definitely not kind and welcoming: "I don't want to know what the purpose of your going and returning is, but if you want to affect us, then you must not be tolerated!" ”
As soon as he said this, he, along with several men behind him, looked solemn and determined.
"Involved? Do I think you still need to be involved? Yu Ziying's complexion is also very white, even if she is veiled, she still feels unusually beautiful, but at this moment, when she looks at people with an expressionless face, it is like a reflection of the ice, a kind of awe-inspiring and intimidating majesty.
Uncle Quan's burly and sturdy body was shocked by her rhetorical questions in a row and took a step back.
"The fall of Cannes, you are like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, let others slaughter, if you want to talk about the involvement, it should be me, the person who strayed into Cannes, who was affected by your cowardice." Yu Ziying's words were ridiculed, piercing the hearts of Uncle Quan Qi and others.
"Y-what do you know?" Uncle Quan's face changed greatly, and his dark skin was covered with a layer of pale gray cyan.
"The courtyard in the west of the city that is shaded by banyan trees."
This news alone shocked Uncle Quan's face.
"You! Where did you go?! ”
Several other men behind him looked at her with equally shocked and incredulous gazes, as if to ask—how can you come back with your hands and feet intact since you have gone there?"
The young man was still looking at them with a blank expression.
"I've been there." Yu Ziying said short-sightedly.
Uncle Quan Qi suddenly said excitedly: "That, then you saw it...... What do you see? ”
"You don't have to tempt, I saw the old beggar, and I also saw the woman named Sheep Witch." Yu Ziying looked at them one by one, except for Ling Boy, who seemed to be isolated from a world, the rest were all practitioners, and their martial arts were not weak.
"And how the hell did you survive?" Behind Uncle Quan Qi, a thin and dark man about thirty years old blurted out with wide eyes.
Yu Ziying glanced at him strangely: "That woman named Yang Wu is very powerful?" ”
Seeing how surprised they were, it seemed that since she had gone in vertically, she should have come out lying sideways.
"Do you really not understand or are you playing dumb, the woman of the sheep witch...... She can not only refine poison, but also control a batch of poisonous insects in her hands, let alone kill her, even if she gets close, she will be gnawed to the point of no bones. Uncle Quan Qi's voice was heavy and sharp, and after he finished speaking, he paused again, and looked at Yu Ziying suspiciously: "Are you lying?" No, it's not. Uncle Quan quickly vetoed again, he frowned tightly, and his eyes trembled: "Since you know that the old beggar is there, it means that you have really gone in!" ”
"Old power! Although the old beggar is in that banyan mansion, it can ...... But how could she recognize him when he became like that, I guess she must have been sent by the enemy to confuse us and others! Another young man who looked mediocre but had a pair of shrewd and sophisticated eyes immediately caught the loophole in Yu Ziying's words and said hurriedly.
Uncle Quan Qi quickly raised his eyes and glanced at Yu Ziying, hesitating, he said, "What are you doing in Cannes?" What is your relationship with the old beggar? ”
"Uncle Quan." Yu Ziying suddenly shouted.
Uncle Quan Qi's eyebrows jumped, his expression was stunned, and he stared straight at Yu Ziying: "You, how do you know my name?" ”
The others all stared at Yu Ziying in astonishment, also with a look of surprise.
"Slums, Cannes, is there another unknown name for it...... One of the Seven Sects of Teng Snake? Yu Ziying's faintly drooping eyelids squinted upward, and her clear and cold voice sounded like a thunderbolt exploding above their heads.
As soon as these words fell, Uncle Quan Qi was completely dumbfounded, and the whole person looked stunned because of the suddenness and accident.
According to their expressions, Yu Ziying got the answer in her heart.
Originally, she was only guessing why the old beggar chose the slum to hide his whereabouts, if it was only because of the security considerations of hiding in the city, in fact, there were more better options than the slum, or because the environment and identity of the slum could make them evade the pursuit of the enemy, but although this kind of place was hidden, it was not absolutely safe, because the environment was too dirty and complicated, if they were not willing to expose their identity and show their ability, how could they, an old beggar and an infant, not be able to persevere in such an environment?
Regarding this step, it is impossible for the old beggar not to consider the protection of the last snake royal family in this world, if he has considered it but still chooses this way, it can only show that he trusts this city, he trusts that he can withstand the pursuit and search of the enemy in this city, and can raise a baby waiting to be fed.
In fact, he did raise Yuwen Ziying for nearly seven years without incident, and there were too many things in the past seven years that Yuwen Ziying ignored fragments and clues, but being picked up by Yu Ziying became the key to solving the mystery.
This city is actually a smoke bomb arranged by the old beggar to protect the Teng Snake royal family.
"My name is Yu Ziying. She waited for them to digest a little, and then added, "The old beggar is my adoptive father." ”
She knew that the exposure of her identity would completely push her into an unprecedented dangerous situation, but she did not hesitate to do so.
