Chapter 38: Surveillance
"Hey, Second Son, did you hear what I said?" Yun Ling pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Even if you don't like me, it's okay to squeak, right?" ”
Qingchen didn't respond to her, but got up and walked in the direction of the two stone statues.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Second son, where are you going? I haven't finished my sentence yet. ”
Yun Ling looked at the back of the other party getting up and leaving, and hurriedly chased after him.
The two stone statues in the garden seem to be very realistic, but the eyes of the two stone statues are too abnormal, as if the eyes of a real person are turning in a stone frame.
Qingchen frowned, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the stone statue's eyes, as if he wanted to confirm something.
However, apart from a gust of spring breeze, the stone statue did not react in any way.
Yun Ling obviously sensed that something was wrong, she stopped talking, shifted her gaze from Qingchen's body to the two stone statues, and hesitated:
"Did you find anything?"
Qingchen said "um", and said coldly: "The eyes of these two stone statues are too real, like the eyes of real people!"
Real eyes?
Yun Ling was stunned for a moment, she just thought that these two stone statues were very conspicuous and realistic in this huge courtyard, and she felt a little weird in her heart.
At this moment, she suddenly heard Qingchen say that the eyes of this stone statue were like the eyes of a real person, she looked at the eyes of the two stone statues, and was instantly attracted.
"I'll go, these are the eyes of a living person, these two stone statues can't be made of people, right?" Yun Ling exclaimed, and her hands kept beating on the stone statues.
But the sound of the stone statue was muffled, not like a hollow.
"The master of this stone statue carving really has two brushes, and he can actually carve the eyes of these two stone statues like real people, and I don't know that I think that the eyes on this stone statue are dug out from a living person and placed on it.
Do you think we should go and meet Master Yu and ask him to introduce us to the master of this stone statue carving? Yun Ling teased.
Qingchen gave her a cold look, didn't say anything, and walked towards the other end of the corridor in the drizzle.
Yun Ling: "......"
Seeing that the other party left like a breeze, I knew that what she was talking nonsense just now must have upset the other party.
He shook his head helplessly and shrugged his shoulders and followed.
......
"You just said that Second Prince Qing and Second Miss Yun both went to those two stone statues?" Yu Houchen said.
"Yes, Door Master. The disciple replied respectfully.
"I see, you go down first. Yu Houchen waved his hand.
The disciple nodded, then turned and walked out.
Yu Xiyan said: "Big brother, did you say that they found something? And when the second son of Qing proposed to leave our Yu family two days ago, why didn't you let him go? Why did you keep him in our Yu family, didn't you say that you were looking for trouble on purpose? What if you were found out in the end?"
Yu Houchen said: "What are you panicking about? I have done everything I told you?"
Yu Xiyan said: "It's done!"
Yu Houchen: "Let's go down first, and I'll take care of the rest." ”
Yu Xiyan bowed his head, knowing that at this time, the two of them could not mess with themselves.
Otherwise, it will only be harmful to the two siblings.
After a while, Qingchen and Yun Ling appeared in front of Yu Houchen.
"Second son, second Miss Yun!"
"Master Yu!"
After both sides finished saluting, Yu Houchen said loudly: "Is there something wrong with the second son of Qing and the second miss of Yun coming here at this time?"
Yun Ling glanced at Qingchen and said, "Master Yu, can I ask who carved the statue in your courtyard?" The carving is so realistic, like a real person, I and the second son of Qing want to ask each other for advice, and when we return to the door in the future, we can show off, I wonder if Master Yu can please come out and let me meet the second son of Qing?"
Yu Houchen said: "This ......"
Yun Ling's clear eyes flashed with cunning, and she continued, "Sect Master Yu doesn't want to tell us that the carver is no longer in the door now, right?"
If so, wouldn't that be even more suspicious?
Yu Houchen's face crossed a touch of embarrassment and said: "Miss Yun Er, your guess is right, that carver is indeed no longer in the door now, as early as the previous rainy season, the old man suddenly had a serious illness and died." ”
Passed away?
Yun Ling and Qing Chen glanced at each other, and wondered, "Isn't that old man from the Immortal Sect?"
"Well, that old man is not from the Xianmen, but my father met him in the Jiangnan Water Town before his death, and saw that he was alone and had a good skill as a carver, so he brought him back to the door and asked him to be responsible for the flowers and stone statues in our door. ”
"It's just that I didn't expect that some time ago, the old man suddenly became unwell, and at that time I thought it was a change of seasons, so I asked my disciple to go to the bottom of the mountain to find a doctor to prescribe a few medicines for him, but I didn't want to delay him in the end. ”
As he spoke, Yu Houchen's face was still mixed with a trace of sadness and self-blame.
seems to think that the old man's death was caused by his carelessness.
On the contrary, it made Yun Ling a little uncomfortable and continued to ask.
No, after a few words of greeting with the other party, the two left together.
But Yun Ling's heart has always had a skeptical attitude towards this matter.
I always feel that all this is too much of a coincidence.
In order to find out what was going on with all this, she consciously or unconsciously asked the female and male cultivators in the Bixiao Sect about the old man, Yu Zhile and Yu Boping in the following days.
But what makes people feel strange is that neither those female nor male cultivators actually mention these things.
So that she couldn't find out any useful information at all.
It's still a bit of a rout.
"Second son, how much silver taels did you say the two brothers and sisters of the Yu family gave to these disciples? Yun Ling propped up one hand on the table, while eating the grapes on the table, and said: "I can't even ask some simple things, do you think we will be monitored?"
Otherwise, why did she ask them something, and why did they say they didn't know?
It's incredible.
They are all from an immortal sect, and it stands to reason that the people of their own sect should know these things best.
However, the results of her investigation had nothing to do with the speculation and conjecture in her heart.
As far as those who don't know and don't know the arguments, I'm afraid that people who try to deceive those three-year-old children may not believe it, right?
Not to mention a monkey-like person like her.
