Chapter Twenty-Six: Do You Want Your Apprentice to Drink?
After returning to the restaurant, the two pushed open the door of the room, lit the lamp, and found that the room in the restaurant was already a mess, as if someone had rummaged through it. Shen Sangsang and Yan Zhiyu glanced at each other, their faces a little heavy: "It looks like they are being targeted." ”
Yan Zhiyu didn't speak, walked in directly and closed the door, checked his things, and found that he didn't lose anything: "It's not a thief, it's very likely that it's coming for you." ”
She looked around, and everything she could see was chaotic: "I didn't make a feud in Bingzhou, why did I ......" She had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Could it be from Xizhou?" ”
"The people of Xizhou only come to seek revenge, not to find something." Yan Zhiyu paused, "Besides, this is Lingzhou, and it is impossible for the people of Xizhou to be so presumptuous." ”
Shen Sangsang pursed his lips, a little big: "Could it be ...... Is it the organization that has the Xuanniao totem? Do they already know my identity? ”
"Quite possibly." He replied.
Shen Sangsang remembered the box found in Li Shanhai's room that he was carrying, so he took it out of the Baiji bag, put it on the table, and beckoned Yan Zhiyu to come and sit down: "Can you help me open this lock?" This is what I found from Li Shanhai's room, but I'm not good at unlocking. ”
Glancing at the box on the table, Yan Zhiyu reached out and picked it up and looked at it for a while, then conjured a silver needle and inserted it into the keyhole and turned it lightly a few times, and with a crisp sound, the lock opened. Shen Sangsang hurriedly opened the box and found that there was only a token with a Xuanniao totem inside, and there was a trace of blood on it: "This is ......"
Yan Zhiyu stretched out her hand to take the token in her hand and said, "It seems that what I thought was right." ”
"What?"
"This Xuanniao token existed in the world after the Great War of the Realms. Xuanniao, also called Suzaku, was originally an ancient divine beast, but when the worlds still existed, Xuanniao turned into a human being, began to have greed, and began to eat people in the mortal world, and the divine realm learned that it was imprisoned on the sacred mountain, and ordered it to guard the sacred mountain, but after the war of the worlds, the Xuanniao and a group of divine beasts and fierce beasts fled one after another. Xuanniao appointed himself a phoenix, gathered many fierce beasts to worship him as king, and fled to the world with his greedy nature. I've been looking for him all these years, but as a black dragon, I'm not a god, and it's really difficult to sense the aura of the divine beast. I've captured many of his beasts over the years, but I've never seen him. He wants to capture you and your sister, probably not because of your half-demon status, but for something else. ”
Shen Sangsang rubbed his aching head: "Something else? What do I have here that he wants? ”
Yan Zhiyu looked at her and said, "Actually, I have been looking for the source of the power in your body recently, but I just got a little news. ”
"What's the news?"
"This power in you comes from Ghost City."
"Ghost City?! It's just that I've never been to Ghost Snake City, and even the last time I entered Ghost Snake, I couldn't enter the city. ”
"I don't know." Yan Zhiyu said.
Shen Sangsang frowned and sighed heavily: "Things have really gotten a lot lately. By the way, do you know the Banjian Gate? ”
"Banjianmen?" Yan Zhiyu frowned, "You know? ”
"Some people say that I am the young master of the Banjian Sect."
"I'm not sure about that." Yan Zhiyu replied, "But you must have an inexplicable relationship with Banjianmen. This is ...... with your mother"
Shen Sangsang was slightly stunned: "Do you know who my mother is?" ”
"This ......" Yan Zhiyu's eyes dodged a little, "I know, but I can't tell you." "He did know something, she did have her blood in her veins, but she wasn't her child. This matter is very complicated, and he is not easy to meddle in, but he knows that she is doing this to Shen Sangsang in order to make her herself stronger and stronger in the search, and get closer and closer to the truth she wants Shen Sangsang to know. It's just that he doesn't know what kind of thing it is, she wants Shen Sangsang to bear it and complete it alone. And that power in her body, what the hell is that? Why did Shen Sangsang become a half-demon or a demigod? What's missing from this? Did she give Shen Sangsang such an identity? Why would she do it? And what did the transformed bird want from her? None of this is known. But he believed in her, in her decisions, and he could not interfere.
Shen Sangsang looked at him, as if he had seen through something, but he didn't say it, she believed that he naturally had his plans, not to mention that looking for his own identity was originally based on his own, and he shouldn't ask others again and again. Her mother must have thought the same thing.
Yan Zhiyu stood up, walked to the window and looked at the scenery below, and said slowly: "There are some things that you always have to do by yourself, I think your mother should think the same way, right?" He hasn't gotten an answer yet, but Shen Sangsang does have the blood breath of Jianxing in his body, so he should be regarded as her "mother", right?
She nodded, stood up as well, and walked over to him. She was not tall, only to his shoulder, she looked at the place where he was looking, and found that the street was already lit up, and many people were strolling through the night market below: "I understand." But I still have questions for you. ”
"Ask."
"Did you come to help me because you knew my mother? Also, you've been looking for me all the time, right? Why are you looking for me? What do you want to do after you find me? What is the thing you want to know? ”
Yan Zhiyu smiled, he reached out and rubbed the top of her hair: "Are these really so important?" I may not have come to help you not only because of your mother, I have been looking for you all the time, but it can also be said that I am not looking for you, and as for why I am looking for you, it may be because of curiosity, or it may be because of something else. Also, there are a lot of things I want to know, which one are you referring to? ”
"You know." Shen Sangsang pursed his lips.
He raised an eyebrow and just looked at her and smiled: "At first I just wanted to confirm your identity, but later, I wanted to know everything about you, the more the better." ”
Shen Sangsang was stunned for a moment, looking at his deep eyes, he couldn't help but lose his mind, and then reacted and immediately looked away at the light below: "As a black dragon that has lived for so long, you are really boring." ”
"Perhaps." Yan Zhiyu looked at the long street with a long gaze, "It's just that I'm bored, and when I encounter interesting things, I always want to find out." ”
"Are you lonely, then?"
"Lonely? I've been feeling lonely since I left. It's just that after a long time, I found out that she was no longer in this world, and I began to feel less lonely. I think she should be everywhere in the world. ”
Everywhere in the world? Shen Sangsang chuckled, as if he was laughing at him for being so good at bitterness: "Why don't you make more friends?" ”
Yan Zhiyu replied with some disdain: "Friend? And those mortals? They don't seem to deserve it. ”
"The arrogant energy in your bones is really a bit like Liang Yiyu." Shen Sangsang smiled unconsciously, she suddenly remembered the young man who was once as arrogant as him, and her eyes were full of stars.
Yan Zhiyu quietly took in the stars under her eyes, and began to feel a little panicked in her heart: "You like him?" ”
"Me?" Shen Sangsang smiled very happily, she turned her head to look at him, and there was happiness in her eyes that couldn't be hidden, "I like it, of course I like it!" ”
His eyes dimmed like the stars in the sky: "Why do you like him?" Is it just because he's been with you for a long time? "If she was with her, would she change her mind?
"What is the reason for liking." She replied disapprovingly.
yes, what's the reason for liking? Didn't he know that too?
"It's good." He didn't know how to reply for a while, so he said these three words inexplicably, which seemed a little stupid.
Shen Sangsang looked at him and always felt that something was wrong with him: "You...... Did you think of the note? ”
He was stunned for a moment, then looked at her and nodded: "Maybe I remember...... She's it. ”
"Lord Black Dragon, are you interested in accepting a beautiful and kind apprentice?" She asked tentatively.
Yan Zhiyu hooked her lips and saw the little abacus in her heart: "What do you want the apprentice to do?" Is it a snack for now? ”
"......" Shen Sangsang was immediately silent, and after a while he muttered, "I'll just ask...... Really ......"
