Xiao Xiao at the front desk temporarily stopped the ceremony in the name of "bathing", but the people waiting anxiously outside the house refused to let go.

The blue phoenix lifted the curtain, and her long body burrowed into the crowded and narrow curtain, and saw a disturbing scene - several small old men were clustered together, and when they saw the blue phoenix, their faces changed one after another.

"Blue Phoenix, how can a good person say that he is missing and missing?" The skinny little old man frowned, slapped the table, and said fiercely, "How did you prepare for the ceremony??" ”

Blue Phoenix remained silent, sat down at the table, took the tea bowl from a villager next to him, and gently blew the hot air.

"You're not in a hurry?" The little old man scolded: "Now at this juncture, what about Zheng Bangren? Don't tell us anything, you didn't come - thousands of people in the village can testify, they all saw Zheng Bang with their own eyes, where are you hiding him now? ”

The blue phoenix carefully blew the boiling water, without any expression on her face, and her eyes flashed.

"You have to take full responsibility!" Several old people beside the little old man also shouted: "Don't think you can be willful!" In a few days, you'll be nothing! ”

Blue Phoenix smiled, took a sip of hot tea, and said, "Gentlemen, what's the hurry?" Is he the only one in the outlander, Zheng Bang? Can't anyone else do it? ”

Hearing Lan Phoenix say this, several old men looked at each other, you glared at me, I glared at you, and one of them said sarcastically: "So, Lord Blue Phoenix is not too enjoyable for this son to do, and he is playing with a few of our elders?" Since you don't plan to retire, why do you have to do any ceremony and make it so grand? ”

Blue Phoenix slammed the tea bowl on the table, the table made a trembling sound, her cold gaze swept over the few people crowded in front of her, and said in a cold voice: "When did I say such a thing?" ”

"You didn't say that, but you're afraid you've done it."

"How so?" Blue Phoenix was calm, but her face was obviously darkened.

"You, tell me, at such a juncture, Zheng Bang's sudden disappearance is not beneficial to anyone?"

The blue phoenix was silent.

"Do you need to ask!" The old man had a hot temper and said straightly: "Of course it is Lord Xiao Xiao - how can this woman just watch Lord Xiao Xiao ascend to the throne - although Lord Xiao Xiao's grandfather is the blood of the village, how can she see her power slip out of her hands?" ”

Blue Phoenix only smiled silently.

"Then the problem is clear-Lord Blue Phoenix, I think you have already made a calculation."

"Oh? What did I calculate? Blue Phoenix said curiously.

"Do you need to say anything? You hid this Zheng Bang and chose other outsiders by yourself, this person was not chosen by the ancestors, but I am afraid that you chose it - when the time comes, in his name, take the responsibility of the ancestors, and re-elect you as the head of the family, and the village will still be in your pocket. ”

"Huh-" Blue Phoenix clapped his hands and stood up, his face full of banter: "Yes, old fellow, with your stupid brains, you can be considered very thoughtful, you can." ”

His cheeks were red from being humiliated by the blue phoenix, and the old man said angrily: "So, you admit it? ”

"Admit it?" Blue Phoenix smiled: "What's the difference between admitting it and not admitting it?" Where did I break the rules of the village? It wasn't me Blue Phoenix who couldn't get to the scene now, but Zheng Bang. Whatever the reason, he can't come, and who to choose and who to assign it to is also a matter for the village, isn't it? ”

This is a Yang Mou! The little old man knew that the blue phoenix had coveted the legal inheritance in the village for a long time, but he was helpless, he took a step forward and said:

"This ceremony can't go on! I'm going to terminate! ”

The blue phoenix took a step - she was extremely tall and imposing, standing in front of this little old man, like an adult and a little ghost, very funny. The blue phoenix closed the door, stared coldly at the little old man's brow, and said:

"It's not going to work."

"Get out of the way!"

"The ceremony cannot be terminated, the ancestor has appeared, and the next heir is already waiting outside the door, we are no longer qualified to terminate it!" Blue Phoenix said.

"You and I both know very well in our hearts - Lord Xiao Xiao outside has already been calculated by you, this inheritance ceremony is not fair at all, we don't agree!"

"That's right!" The little old man followed, "Don't forget. Blue Phoenix, a few of us who are old and immortal, also have the right to speak, if we don't agree, you won't be able to carry out this ceremony! ”

Blue Phoenix raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you really trying to get along with my Blue Phoenix?" ”

The little old man stared at the blue phoenix and said, "Don't deceive you too much, blue phoenix." ”

"That's good." Blue Phoenix smiled and clapped his hands, and several strong men with thick bodies suddenly poured out from all sides of the entire high platform, guarding the exits. "You guys have a good rest here, the ceremony is over, let's talk again."

It turned out that this woman had already prepared her backhand, no wonder she had no fear!

Blue Phoenix smiled and turned around, just about to return to the main stage to announce Zheng Bang's situation.

"I advise you not to rejoice too soon." The little old man said this lukewarmly behind the scenes.

"Why, isn't it possible that you are all old enough to break your wrists and play with my young men?"

"Hehe, the old man can't do it." The little old man smiled and said, "But don't forget, Blue Phoenix, if you really do this kind of thing, you will be damned." ”

"Damnation? What damnation? Blue Phoenix asked.

"This matter, the old ninth brother already knows - if Zheng Bang can't participate in the ceremony smoothly, he will say to everyone in the village on our behalf - the ceremony can't be carried out - when the time comes, Blue Phoenix, your wolf ambition is empty talk!"

Blue Phoenix sank his face, his fist creaked, and a few words came out of his mouth: "Oh? It seems that you are deliberately against me? ”

"As long as Zheng Bang can come back, the ceremony will be held smoothly, and we will naturally not talk much." Several people said.

The blue phoenix twisted his steps and glared at a few people angrily.

"It's up to you how you do it." The little old man said proudly.

Blue Phoenix lifted the curtain in a chic manner, returned to the main stage, and said to the people who were waiting anxiously in the audience: "Everyone, don't be impatient, now we are communicating with the ancestors, let Lord Xiao Xiao bathe and change clothes, prepare for the next ceremony, and soon meet our new family master, please wait patiently." ”

On the other end, Tian Martin took Chai Guangmo and Zhao Leng to find the riverside - although the river was only the thickness of the stream, and the jade belt was coiled in the ravine, it was not shallow, and the deepest part was actually five meters.

"Come!" Tian Makey went down to the water's edge along the river with everyone, the river was already some distance away from the center of the village, so there were not many villagers nearby, and when she went down to the river, Chai Guangmo's heart became more and more anxious.

"Are you sure he'll be here?" Zhao Leng also felt more and more that something was wrong.

"I'm not sure." Chai Guangmo let out a breath, "But didn't you say this, no one knows what else is possible, so you can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor." ”

"In case we're not there, we're running out of time." Zhao Leng reminded Chai Guangmo.

"I know." He pursed his lips: "But I can only look for it." ”

The ditch is an old-fashioned sewer system, and because it is the underground water channel used to drain the village, it is very rudimentary, just a half-man's high ditch dug with a shovel - because it has been abandoned for a long time, it looks like a crumbling hole in the ground, and it is impossible to see how deep it is.

Tian Martin climbed down from above, peeked inside, shook his head, turned around and said, "It's too dark to see." ”

"Did you hear anything?" Chai Guangmo asked.

Tian Marian listened against the wall and shook her head.

Zhao Leng pinched her sweat, she went down the dirt slope, crawled to Tian Martial's side, and found the front of the ditch hole - this hole is indeed very narrow, even if she is so thin, she has to hook her waist to get in.

"Brother Zheng Bang...... You shouldn't be able to get in, right? She shrugged in frustration.

Tian Marian also let out: "It seems that I made a mistake......"

"Wait." Chai Guangmo sniffed with his nose: "I know." ”

"It's a very important place to be." He suddenly smiled and said to the two of them.

"What's that?"

"Follow me!" Chai Guangmo grabbed the wrists of the two of them and took the lead in burrowing into the half-human-high crypt. Inside - he followed the damp path to the depths, and the deeper he went, the more open he became.

Zhao Leng wondered: "This doesn't look like a ditch." ”

"Apparently not." Chai Guangmo nodded: "At least it's not a drainage canal now, it used to be." But the inside of the drain could not have been wider and wider, which was dug later. ”

"But why in the drain?" Zhao Leng was puzzled.

"To hide from people, of course." Chai Guangmo said: "There is almost no movement outside, and the shape of the drainage canal is retained, the purpose is to make the people in the village mistakenly think that this is the one that is abandoned and not used." ”

"But what's the point?"

"Hide something." Chai Guangmo crawled forward, frowning, feeling in this deep and wide crypt, as if he was looking for something.

"What can this hide?" Zhao Leng still didn't understand.

"Do you remember the hillside where we met the old man?"

Of course, Zhao Leng will not forget that the poppies all over the mountain look quite spectacular.

"There's planting, and of course, purification." Chai Guangmo swore an oath.

"??! here" Zhao Leng was taken aback.

"I can't think of anything else." Chai Guang said indifferently.

Listening to what these two people said to me, Tian Marty was a little confused: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Look." Chai Guangmo was pleasantly surprised and seemed to have found something, he rubbed his hand on the ground, and felt the milky white powder from inside.

Zhao Leng was afraid to avoid it, and took a step back: "Take it away, take it away!" ”

She didn't expect Chai Guangmo to really find it.

"This ...... The evidence is conclusive! Zhao Leng said.

"Yes!" Chai Guangmo put the powder into a transparent plastic bag, and frowned again: "But there is not enough time." ”
