On the third day after everyone arrived at the Demon Palace, the days began to become more and more lively.

The state of the three hundred old devils gathered together is the same as the gathering of three hundred children with different personalities, the problem is that these children also have extremely destructive and unpredictable personalities.

Zhanzhao is obviously very well adapted, with many years of experience in struggle, it is different, Zhao Pu Gongsun and they are all fine, Xiao Liang is like a fish in water, but he can play with it, even the little fourth son is getting more and more skinny, Gongsun often asks the whole magic mountain to look for him, and he may not know which old devil's yard to play.

And among so many people, the most miserable ones are Bai Yutang and Bai Wuye.

I don't know what's going on with Lu Dao recently, there are always people who "stimulate" Bai Yutang, either they push him unexpectedly, or they put a caterpillar in front of him or something...... Although they were all children, they all stimulated Bai Yutang a lot. On the surface, it seems as if the demons are "bullying" him, because he has usurped their young palace master, but ...... It doesn't seem that simple.

Early in the morning, the old men of the Demon Palace brought up several jars of good wine from the wine cellar, among which there was a good flower sculpture on one jar.

Lu Xue'er knew that her son liked to drink Huadiao, and it was difficult to serve him, so he couldn't look down on it in general, and it was difficult to meet it.

As soon as Bai Xia sniffed the smell, he knew that the Dao was definitely good, so he asked Lu Xue'er to take a small jar to Bai Yutang.

As soon as Lu Xue'er entered the courtyard with the wine, she saw a strange old man on the tree, holding a slingshot, facing Bai Yutang.

Lu Xue'er squinted her eyes and said in her heart - stupid! Can a slingshot still hurt his son?

Sure enough, seeing the old man shoot out with a slingshot, Bai Yutang didn't even raise his eyes, and raised his hand to catch the marble.

But after receiving it in his hand, the fifth master felt that something was not right, because why was the marble moving?

Bai Yutang was startled and spread out his hand to take a look.

Zhan Zhao, who was about to go out with him, also came up and took a look, and saw that in Bai Yutang's palm, a black "marble"-like object was unfolding and turning into a beetle with many feet and crawling.

Zhan Zhao felt that Bai Yutang's hair on his whole body stood up with a "prick" in an instant, and he shook his hand...... The bug was thrown away.

Bai Yutang didn't have time to investigate, so he fetched water and washed his hands.

Zhan Zhao squinted at the tree, and just wanted to arrest someone, he saw a white shadow flashing outside the courtyard, and then, Lu Xue'er grabbed an old man's ear and dragged it down

"Oops...... "......The old man struggled with a pain and begged Lu Xue'er for mercy.

"You're fat! Dare to bully my family Yutang! Lu Xue'er was angry, she hadn't seen it once or twice, in the past few days, a group of old men and old ladies in the Demon Palace have secretly poked and scared his precious son without doing anything!

Zhan Zhao also leaned in, took a look, and found that it was Bat Gong, a little puzzled, "Uncle Bat, what are you doing?" ”

Bai Yutang washed his hands, but he still felt uncomfortable, and he was also a little puzzled - it stands to reason that everyone in the Demon Palace had already settled the grudges with him before, why did he still hold a grudge? It was good a while ago, especially these days.

Batboy muttered, "Isn't it like giving a little stimulation......"

Zhan Zhao didn't understand much, "Give what?" ”

Lu Xue'er listened to it, touched her chin, handed the wine jar to Zhanzhao, and said that they should drink it, and dragged the bat man out of the yard.

When they got outside, Lu Xue'er summoned the group of old men and old ladies who were ambushed around and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

A few old monsters gossiped and talked about the matter in general, that is, in front of the stable, the little fourth son said that "it is a little bit worse, and it needs to be stimulated".

Lu Xue'er looked at everyone helplessly, no wonder they didn't understand, there are only a few people here who have really talked about love and love, and they are stupid.

"Stupid guys!" Lu Xue'er said, "The so-called stimulation is not for you to scare my son!" ”

All the old monsters looked at Lu Xue'er humbly, "Then what to do?" ”

"Give them a chance!" Lu Xue'er said, "It's best to be alone!" ”

"Alone?" Several old men looked at each other, a little embarrassed, "But there are so many people in the Demon Palace......"

"So find a chance to leave them alone!" Lu Xue'er snapped her fingers lightly, "I took a look, those children will either stay or be thin-skinned, this honest group of people will go in and out, and there will be ghosts only if there is progress!" ”

Several old devils looked at each other, "In other words, you want to think about letting them be alone?" ”

Lu Xue'er nodded, "Hmm! It's best to spend the night together! No one else bothered the whole time! ”

Everyone looked at each other, "This is difficult, isn't it?" Do they know the way with hands and feet? ”

"So think about it!" Lu Xue'er was afraid that they would toss her son again, so she said, "Also, this kind of thing should be less and more exciting, you are so foolish, you scared my family Yutang so much that you didn't dare to come in the future, then Zhanzhao also ran away with him, and you won't be able to see them in the New Year!" ”

The demons were so nervous that they didn't dare to make trouble, and they dispersed one after another, thinking about it.

Lu Xue'er saw that everyone was solved, and was about to go back, when she saw the nine-headed grandmother holding her chin and sitting on a stone stool on the side, as if she was thinking about something.

"Aunt Nine, what do you want?" Lu Xue'er leaned over and asked her.

"Hmm......" Grandma Jiutou looked at Lu Xue'er, and then said, "I may ...... There is a way. ”

Lu Xue'er was stunned.

"Just ......," Grandma Nine-Headed muttered to herself, "maybe they can solve that matter, but it's okay for me." ”

Lu Xue'er tilted her head to look at her, and the old lady stood up and patted her on the head, "Good girl, go ahead." ”

Lu Xue'er scratched her head, looking at the nine-headed grandmother swaying to the courtyard of Zhanzhao and Baiyutang, and inexplicably remembered that when she chatted with Yin Lanci before, she said that the nine-headed grandmother seemed to have a heart, or a knot, that had not been untied, which was also the reason why she had always run into the deep mountains and old forests behind the Magic Mountain for so many years.

……

In the courtyard, Zhan Zhao poured the good flower carvings on the cup to give Bai Yutang a shock.

Bai Yutang also felt helpless, and took a sip of the wine glass - fortunately, the Huadiao tasted very good, Zhanzhao's smile was excellent, and his mood improved. In addition, although Bai Yutang is not like Zhanzhao, he grew up with the old monsters since he was a child, but Tianzun's temper is not better than that of any old man, he is still better at getting along with the elderly, and the best way is to be like a child, if he does anything wrong, as long as there is no major fault, he doesn't have to take it to heart.

The two of them had just drunk two glasses when they saw the nine-headed grandmother walk in.

Zhan Zhao knew that she liked to drink, so he poured her a glass, "Does grandma drink?" ”

Grandma Jiutou walked up to Zhanzhao and sat down beside them, picked up the wine glass and took a drink, and then sighed.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other.

Bai Yutang asked, "Does the old man have something on his mind?" ”

Grandma Jiutou held her chin, looked at the two of them, and said, "You two, you have investigated a lot of cases over the years, right?" ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded.

"Hmm." The old lady pondered for a moment, stood up, beckoned to the two, and said, "Follow me." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were a little confused, but they still walked out of the Demon Palace with the old man.

The three of them walked all the way to the outside of the mountain forest behind the Demon Palace.

"You want to go into the mountains?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Grandma Jiutou nodded and instructed, "You two follow me, I have something I want you to see." ”

After speaking, the person flashed and entered the forest.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang hurriedly used light skills to keep up......

The three of them shuttled through the forest, and they had been walking for nearly half an hour, and Zhan Zhao felt that they had left the Demon Palace far, far away, and had walked into the deep mountains and dense forests, and they were a little puzzled.

At last the old lady stopped, and stood on the top of a small clearing deep in the forest, and in front of her was an uphill slope with many vines growing on it.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the nine-headed grandmother in confusion.

The old lady stared at the vines for a long time, then hooked her fingers at the two of them, "Follow me." ”

The two of them followed her around the hillside.

When they reached the back of the hill, Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang were surprised to find that there was also a flat land behind them. Near the hillside, there is a tomb...... Or rather, a pile of graves, a dozen of them, and each one without a name.

Bai Yutang glanced at it and frowned, "Thirteen nameless mounds? ”

"It's fourteen." The old lady said, turning her head and pointing in another direction not far away.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked in the direction of her finger, and saw that near a small bamboo forest not far away, there was also a tomb, which was also only a grave bag and a tombstone, without a name.

Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled and asked Grandma Jiutou, "Grandma, whose graves are these?" ”

Nine-headed grandma shrugged, "I don't know." ”

The two of them looked at her in bewilderment, and what did that mean—what do you want us to look up?

Nine-headed grandmother pointed to the lonely nameless mound in the distance and said, "But that one, I know whose tomb it is." ”

"Who?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang spoke in unison.

Grandma Nine-Headed shook her head, "I don't know." ”

The corners of Zhanzhao's mouth twitched, and Bai Yutang subconsciously glanced at Zhanzhao, what does that mean-Grandma Jiutou is older than my master, is she old and confused?

"I'm not stupid." Nine-headed grandma came to say.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both a little embarrassed.

"Come on." The old man took the two of them to the side of the lonely grave, found a few stones, and sat down.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sat and waited, and the old lady might have something to say.

"This happened about 30 years ago." The nine-headed old lady began to recall, "It's been a few days since the Demon Palace withdrew from the rivers and lakes, and everything has settled down, and I still often come to the forest to wander, but this forest area is something I don't come to often, and most of them are wandering around in sunny places on the other side." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, this forest is miserable, and it is indeed not as bright as that side.

"On that day 30 years ago, I remember, just like now, when the Chinese New Year was approaching, it was very cold and snowing." The nine-headed grandmother was distracted and said slowly, "That day, I went into the mountains and wanted to catch a few sables and go back to make a chair cushion with mink fur. There was a sable that kept running and running...... I chased it to the back of the hill, where we had stopped when we had just entered. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded.

"I turned to the back of the hill, and the sables were gone, but I saw the graves." The old lady said.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned, "Thirty years ago?" ”

"Hmm." Grandma Jiutou nodded, "But at that time, I remember very clearly, the mud was still new, not yet covered with snow, and in front of the tombstone, there was no paper money, no tribute, but there were mottled bloodstains. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both frowned, "New tomb? ”

"Hmm." The old lady nodded, and pointed to the lonely tomb behind them, "At that time, there were only thirteen nameless tombs over there, and there was no one. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were silent, waiting to continue listening.

"I don't know what Lu Dao is for, I care a little." Grandma Jiutou pointed to the thirteen nameless mounds over there, "Those graves give me a very bleak feeling. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also subconsciously glanced at it, what should I say, the nameless mound, especially there are so many seats, it does give people a bleak feeling, but ......

Zhanzhao understands the personality of the nine-headed grandmother, this person is very demonic, and her personality is very evil, although she doesn't like to toss much when she is old, but she is not a sentimental person, why do you care about it?

"I've been around the neighborhood a lot since that day." "I remember on the fourth day, the snow stopped, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve day, and I came in the evening...... I was on the other side of the hill when I heard a cry. ”

Zhanzhao and Hakuyudo seemed to be able to feel the scene at that time.

"That cry is as pitiful as a puppy." "I went around the hillside to the grave, and I saw a man sitting in front of these nameless graves, crying.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't speak, and they did feel very desolate when they listened.

"He cried and cried and cried as if he couldn't stop." Grandma Jiutou said lightly, "Looking at a very young young man, about twenty years old?" He has short hair, looks pretty good, and has a tall and thin figure. ”

"Why is he sitting at the grave crying?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Did you ask him?" ”

Grandma Jiutou shook her head slightly, as if she was stuck in a memory, "No, I asked myself that I have seen a lot of people, but ...... The young man gave me a feeling. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang waited to listen.

"It's a strange feeling." The old lady sighed, "His kind of sad ......"

The more Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang listened, the more they became engrossed, "Sad? ”

"Hmm." Grandma Jiutou nodded, "I've never seen anyone so sad ......"

"Didn't he say anything?" Bai Yutang couldn't bear it either, and was a little curious.

"He cried for a long time, and I watched it for a long time." Grandma Nine said, "Until later, he found me." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang suddenly realized that that young man would be scared, right? The nine-headed grandmother already looks like a mountain demon, this deep mountain and old forest, don't you faint when you see it suddenly?

"It's strange, after he saw me, he didn't have any expression, he just asked me, is it a monster or a fairy." Grandma Nine Heads said, "I was sent by a ghost, so I told him, do you have any wishes?" I can help you get there. ”

"How did he answer?" Zhan Zhao asked.

He said......" Grandma Nine-Headed pointed to the location of the nameless mound behind her, "just right, bury me there." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were taken aback.

"Say that." Grandma Nine said with a confused expression, "He killed himself." ”

"Suicide?" Zhan Zhao was horrified.

"Hmm." The old lady nodded and gestured, "He has a dagger in his hand and wipes his neck." ”

And so...... You buried him here and erected a nameless tombstone? Bai Yutang asked.

"Hmm." Grandma Jiutou looked at the two of them, "This matter has puzzled me for a long time, and over the years, I have been thinking, why is this person so sad?" Why did he do that? ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also felt that it was indeed worth curiosity.

"Originally, things slowly faded away, and I didn't think about pursuing it." Grandma Jiutou looked at the two, "However, since you two have been investigating the case for so many years, you might as well help me find out the truth." ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang felt that this was quite interesting, so they ...... The two of them looked around and studied around a few unnamed mounds.

Zhan Zhao was studying the stone of the tombstone when he heard Bai Yutang suddenly call him, "Cat." ”

"Huh?" Zhanzhao looked back at him.

Bai Yutang asked, "What about your grandmother?" ”

Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned and stood up.

The two looked around, and there were only two of them left in the forest, as well as the pile of nameless mounds, where was the figure of the nine-headed grandmother, and even the breath was gone...... Is this running away?

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other—didn't they?!
