233 Rush to the Neon Palace
Shen Yan'er was stunned suddenly, and was speechless by the pessimism in Xiao Hei's eyes.
What do you mean in case that person dies? How could Shen Yan'er not hear what Xiao Hei was saying? There was a short silence, and when Shen Yan'er was mentally prepared to accept an answer, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Xiao Hei, do you know anything?" ”
Xiao Hei, who has long been hiding nothing from Shen Yan'er, is very honest. He nodded lightly and replied, "I've probably guessed who the original source of infection was." ”
One sentence made Shen Yan'er's heart tense again.
However, when Shen Yan'er took a deep breath and stared at him nervously, waiting for the next words, Xiao Hei said a bad news that made Shen Yan'er's ears buzz: "But that person should be dead." There's no way we're going to find her......"
There are two types of people of the Black Bloods. One is pure-blood, and the other is non-pure-blood. The blood flowing from the pure-blood clan is black, such as Xiao Hei and Bao Yin, while the blood flowing from the non-pure-blood clan is still red, such as Shen Yan'er and Wu Cha. The pure-bloods inherited the most orthodox Hundred Herb Poison Blood, and their status was even more noble. Although non-pure-blood people also have vitality that is different from ordinary people, they are far less powerful than pure-bloods.
Xiao Hei said: "Ucha is a traitor to the Black Blood Village, and the one who escaped from the Black Blood Village with him was another pure-blood woman named Fei Yue. ”
Fei Yue. This is the first time Shen Yan'er has heard of this name.
"I don't know if you remember, when I first met Miao Pu, I thought she was very similar to someone, but her age didn't match ......"
"Could it be that person Fei Yue?" Shen Yan'er asked. Of course she remembers. Xiao Hei once told her that when she was a child, she saw a woman with a spider pattern tattooed on her forehead like Miao Pu appearing in Black Blood Village. It was a solitary, very withdrawn woman, as if she had experienced some great torture, and even her eyes were dead.
Xiao Hei nodded lightly and said to Shen Yan'er, "She is Fei Yue." ”
After defecting with Ucha for many years, Fei Yue returned to the Black Blood Village alone. She took a pure-blood girl with her, and that girl was now Miao Pu. Miao Pu's memories of his childhood were already very vague, but when he saw Xiao Hei in the mass grave, he still instinctively felt a hint of familiarity from his dress. And it's the same with Blackie.
"Why do you know she's dead? Miao Pu sues you? Shen Yan'er asked.
Miao Pu didn't say anything. But. I remember that the reason why she took Miao Pu away from the Black Blood Village was because she was seriously ill and her time was short. Looking for a successor. That's why I came back. Now, all these years have passed. There are very few chances that she will still be alive in this world, so you are still ......"
"Nope." didn't wait for Xiao Hei to finish speaking. Shen Yan'er interrupted him calmly. There is firmness and conviction in the quiet eyes, and the reason is the answer that emerges from the heart. Shen Yan'er did not refuse to believe the truth, but she did have a guess.
"The man isn't dead." Shen Yan'er looked at Xiao Hei and said in a very firm tone, "You may not know that Miao Pu didn't enter the palace alone, she also brought a middle-aged maid after entering the palace." I met the maid in the Neon Palace, dressed in a black cloak and hiding Lian in the shadow of her hood. Although I didn't see her face, she did exude a temperament that has gone through vicissitudes and wandered away from the world......"
Because she was deeply impressed, Shen Yaner never forgot it.
At that time, Shen Yan'er vaguely felt that Miao Pu must have been surprised to bring this maid who was not like a maid into the palace, and now the development of things really met her original hunch.
"Judging from her age, Miao Pu's personal maid is most likely the woman you saw when you were a child. Determining her identity is as simple as finding her, uncovering her hood and seeing if she has a spider tattooed on her forehead. Speaking of this, Shen Yan'er, who couldn't help but get excited, grabbed Xiao Hei's arm.
Xiao Hei finally understood Shen Yan'er's intentions when he heard this, and his cold pool-like calm eyes rippled slightly, and he suddenly looked at Shen Yan'er staring at him. "Of course it's good if she's alive, and when we rescue my sister, we'll go to her immediately."
Bao Yin is long gone. When Shen Yan'er and Xiao Hei walked out of the tunnel under the protection of the walking corpse and found the courtyard where Baoyin lived, they found that it was already empty. Come to think of it, the walking corpses erupted in the Hail Snow Palace, how could Bao Yin stay in the room and wait for them? I must have gone into hiding, or been rescued.
Shen Yan'er and Xiao Hei hurriedly rummaged through the room, but they didn't find any clues, and they didn't know where Bao Yin had gone. Clueless, the two had to make another plan. Shen Yan'er, who had a lot of ideas, said: "In that case, let's go find Miao Pu first." ”
If you find Miao Pu, you can find Fei Yue, and if you find Fei Yue, you can stop the scourge of the walking corpse. Without the threat of the walking dead, finding Bao Yin's whereabouts is a breeze.
So, Shen Yan'er helped Xiao Hei to leave the Hail Snow Palace.
There are more walking corpses wandering here than Shen Yan'er imagined. Some dressed in tattered prison clothes, others dressed as the Ghost Faces and the Imperial Front, shuffled their footsteps and swam around the empty courtyard, letting out a terrifying roar.
Shen Yan'er used the method of "using the smell of walking corpses to cover and avoid the walking corpses" that she learned in mass graves, so that those walking corpses who were controlled by Xiao Hei formed a circle, firmly surrounded them, and used the smell of the walking corpses to cover the smell of the living on her and Xiao Hei's bodies. It worked, and they walked slowly all the way, without being attacked at all.
Not only in the Hail Snow Palace, but even outside there were blood-drenched walking corpses on the corners of their mouths. Shen Yan'er saw a lot of corpses lying on the side of the road, some were palace maids, some were eunuchs, ordinary guards, and richly dressed concubines. In just one hour, the palace turned into such a scene, Shen Yan'er was in a heavy mood and her eyes were sour.
When passing by the dungeon of Siguofang, Shen Yan'er remembered that Yi Xiangxi and Phoenix Nanhua were still locked up here, and she was very worried about their safety, so she helped Xiao Hei down to find it.
Unexpectedly, the dungeon was also empty, except for a few walking corpses walking around in the narrow corridors. The chains and keys that lock the door were discarded haphazardly on the damp floor of the cell. The little black boy who knows how to identify footprints is Shen Yan'er, and it can be seen from the messy footprints that Yi Xiangxi and Phoenix Nanhua should have been transferred away by a group of guards.
Fortunately, it was only transferred, not eaten. Such a result made Shen Yan'er feel a little relieved. They didn't stay here for long, and immediately hurried to their real destination, the Neon Palace. (To be continued......)
