It's just that I didn't expect that the "one or two days" in Zhuang Yu's mouth would only be in the afternoon, and he would push the door in and claim that everything was ready.

Sheng Shiyao was silent, I jumped out of the chair directly, "Let's go now?" Are you mistaken? Zhuang Yu glanced at me, and the corners of his mouth crossed a shallow arc, "Cheng Qingping has been sent to the boat, whether you want to go or not, it's up to you." ”

Grandmother! I was furious and strode up to him and asked, "Why did you take my grandmother with you?" How can you say that she also calls you a master, in her previous life she was still your subordinate, even if you don't miss the old love, then how can she still go into the water at such an old age? ”

"Who said they were going to let her go into the water?" Zhuang Yu raised his eyebrows lightly and asked.

"It's not ...... you say"

"Tiny." Sheng Shiyao scolded behind me, I looked back at him, and knew that I was in a hurry again, and when it came to the end, I always couldn't control my temper, and his sentence "Don't be impetuous" was remembered in my heart, but it was difficult to practice. Sullenly walked back to him, suppressing the irritability and anxiety that surged in his heart.

Sheng Shiyao was silent for two seconds and then spoke to Zhuang Yu: "Cheng Qingping's ancestral home is southern Xinjiang, and she knows the terrain and customs of Yunnan well, so you brought her in case everything changes." In addition, Cheng Qingping and the soul snake of the Cheng family are psychic, which you also want to borrow. ”

Zhuang Yu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from you." I don't know if you have ever heard of the prevalence of witchcraft in Yunnan? ”

Sheng Shiyao frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"It is said that Southern Xinjiang, that is, the pioneer of Yunnan, is our Yunnan country, and the witchcraft is inherited from our secret art at that time, I want to see if there is such a thing. In this trip, going to the bottom of Fuxian Lake to explore the palace was the first thing, and by the way, I also checked this matter. ”

Sheng Shiyao's face sank, and he squinted and said, "Yu, you already have this intention." The reason why Cheng Qingping will be noticed by you is because of the witchcraft she learned, so she found out that she was a witch in her previous life. So you became interested in the witchcraft of Southern Xinjiang, was it that before this, you went to Fuxian Lake to explore the ancient city, and at the same time, you also tried to explore this mystical art? This is another reason why you don't hesitate to spend so much effort on Cheng Qingping, do you find that what she has learned can help you improve your black foam technique? ”

Zhuang Yu himself still had a look of being in his chest, and immediately became cold, staring at Sheng Shiyao's eyes full of haze, obviously being said to be in his mind. I was secretly surprised in my heart, it turned out that Zhuang Yu still had such thoughts about his grandmother, what was that black technique?

Sheng Shiyao looked sideways at me and said softly: "The black art is a kind of secret art, in ancient Yunnan, the reigning authority, in addition to having a witch or wizard next to him to help, will also practice a secret art. ”

I glanced at Zhuang Yu, and saw that he stood calmly, and did not refute, it should be true, remembering the two beads with evil qi he gave me before, and the black qi when he cast the spell, it should be the kind of black magic that Sheng Shiyao said. After thinking about it, he asked, "Then which is more powerful than this black technique or the secret technique you have learned?" ”

Sheng Shiyao said: "The black-winged bat is the symbolic totem of the Dian royal family, and the magic mystic is naturally the longest among all the secret arts. ”

I looked at Zhuang Yu, then looked back at Sheng Shiyao, opened my mouth to speak, and retracted back into my throat. Sheng Shiyao let me have something to say, I stood on tiptoe to his ear and whispered: "In the previous life, Zhuang Yu was the king of Dian, you are just the king of martial arts, it stands to reason that he has more power than you, why is that magic mystic not practiced by him, but practiced by you?" ”

Sheng Shiyao glanced at Zhuang Yu and said lightly: "Demon mysticism, not everyone can practice it, it needs to be approved by the demon god. ”

I was slightly stunned, "Isn't the Demon God the Bat King?" How is it going to be recognized? But he didn't see Sheng Shiyao answer again, and Zhuang Yu sneered coldly at this time: "Yao, why don't you tell her?" Afraid that she knows scared? Heh, Cheng Xiao, I'll answer your question for him, the reason why I didn't practice magic mystics is because I am the successor of King Dian. In addition to me, ten royal children will be selected and sent to the Demon Mystery Cave, and whoever can come out alive will be recognized by the Demon God, so that they can get a glimpse of this secret art in the Demon Mystery Cave, and the practitioner will become the witch king of the entire Dian Kingdom to defend the kingdom. Do you know how long Yao stayed in there before coming out? ”

Looking at Zhuang Yu's smiling expression, I didn't dare to guess.

Zhuang Yu said: "One year. When everyone thought that the people who were sent in were dead, he came out of it a year later, and that year, he was eight years old. Since then, he has lived with the Demon God, and has been given a silver face and a Witch King blade, which symbolize the Witch King. When he became an adult, he was given the title of Martial King, and then returned to the world from that cave. That's recognition. ”

Somewhere in my heart began to ache dullly, like someone smashing it with a hammer. I looked at Sheng Shiyao closely, he who had the memory of a wizard, must have remembered those experiences, it was hard to imagine that an eight-year-old child would survive in a bat cave, and even be with bats for the rest of his life. What kind of secret art is that!

Sheng Shiyao's eyes were indifferent, but it made me feel isolated from the world, and finally understood where his indifference came from, which was passed down from him in the previous life to this life. I struggled to find my voice: "Isn't it the son of the king of Dian who tastes Qiang?" How can you bear to let your children be in the company of bats? ”

As soon as my words fell, Sheng Shiyao's eyes sank, grabbed my wrist, and asked in a deep voice: "Who told you that I am the son of Qiang?" I looked at him at a loss, and it was obvious that he had an extra layer of anger in him. Zhuang Yu smiled beside him: "Yao, why do you have to be like this, although Yuqiang didn't recognize you at first, but since you were recognized by the demon god, he still let you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, recognized you as his seventh son, and built a shrine for your mother." ”

"Enough, Zhuang Yu!" I drank out loud, the truth is always so cruel, just say how could I really send the prince into the cave, presumably the ten royal children who were sent in were borrowed from other children, but Yao was the real prince, because his mother died early, and he didn't recognize it. I had heard Zhuang Yu say that Yao was not born in the royal family, and that era valued status more than life.

I clenched Sheng Shiyao's palm with my backhand, and turned my eyes away from looking at him, at this time he went through reincarnation, maybe his childhood is unforgettable, but he no longer needs pity. Any sympathetic gaze hurts him.

looked at Zhuang Yu coldly, I really wanted to ask him, what is the intention of uncovering other people's scars? Isn't he just relying on himself to be a descendant of Zhuang Ji, the ancestor of the Dian Kingdom, and his status is completely different from others.

But I saw Zhuang Yu curling the smile on the corner of his mouth, looking directly at me and saying, "Are you scolding me in your heart, thinking that I am just relying on my unique identity?" Let me tell you, two thousand years ago, there was nothing unique about the Dian Kingdom, and if you want to ascend to that throne, you have to be colder and more ruthless than others. Maybe I didn't have that kind of experience like Yao, but my path to the throne was not accidental. ”

So, I was silent. I don't know why, Zhuang Yu at this moment feels very similar to Sheng Shiyao, the same independence of the world, born from the inside, born in the bones - loneliness. I don't like to watch historical dramas, but I also understand that in all dynasties, kings and losers, how many people's shoulders and how much blood need to be shed to get to that position, many of them are close brothers. Indeed, as Zhuang Yu said, it is not an accident to be the king, even if the Dian Kingdom was only a small country at that time, the royal power system and the law of balance are unchanged.

The atmosphere became calm, and no one spoke again. It wasn't until Yang Wenhao knocked in front of the door that we all turned our eyes to look at him, and he swept his gaze and settled on Zhuang Yu and said, "Yu, you can go." ”

The group walked out of the castle, and the car was already parked there, still the same RV. Yang Wenhao wanted to arrange for Zhou Tong and Liuzi to sit in another car, but they didn't agree, but Sheng Shiyao didn't say anything or nothing, obviously letting the two of them make trouble. In the end, Zhuang Yu opened his mouth and got into the RV, which was actually not too crowded.

I looked at both the inside and outside floors, and when I turned back to look at Shang Zhuang Yu's gaze, he asked, "Looking for Ning Yi?" She was already on board first. "After being in the underground palace, I haven't seen Jian Ningyi again, although I know that Zhuang Yu won't do anything to her, but I still can't avoid worrying, but I don't want to be seen so thoroughly by Zhuang Yu, I said with a tiger face: "Who is looking for her, I want to see where my grandmother is." ”

There were two cars parked outside the castle, a current RV and a car, and I just paid attention to it, but there was no grandmother in the car. I learned from Zhuang Yu that my grandmother and Jian Ningyi took the same car two hours ago and went to the dock first.

It takes more than an hour to get to the dock from here, and on the way, Zhuang Yu and Sheng Shiyao revisited the old words, and once again talked about the witch Gu in southern Xinjiang. He said that there is a village surnamed Bai Miao in Yunnan, and he has a lot of research on Gu art, and once the "Zimu Gu" was spread outside, and there was also a legend of the "Gu King", using Gu art can not only control people's hearts, but also expand the ability of people who plant Gu. But when Zhuang Yu went deep to investigate and found this Miao village, he found that the patriarch surnamed Bai was deceased, and the Gu worms in the entire clan had died mysteriously, and no one knew the reason. Visiting other Miao villages, Gu techniques are rare, and even if there are, they are all pediatric "lover Gu", and there is no exploration.

I'm listening to it secretly, aren't Gu just bugs? Worms are housed in the blood vessels of the human body...... It's chilling to think about, the magic of witchcraft should be the most evil sect of this Gu technique. I heard Zhuang Yu turn the topic to his grandmother, saying that he was trying to find out the origin of Gu art from his grandmother, but the witchcraft that his grandmother learned was not the same as that Gu art, so he didn't know about it. It can be seen that there are different factions in the world, even if the witches are connected, they are also divided into categories, and they are all in their respective fields.

Sheng Shiyao didn't talk much during the whole process, only occasionally picked up one or two sentences, Zhou Tong and Liuzi felt bored when they heard it, so they entered the inner carriage and fell asleep on the sofa bed. They were also really tired, from the underground palace to the secret cave, Sheng Shiyao and I also rested on the black stone collapse for a while, but they kept guarding outside the underground palace, and after returning to the castle, they were notified to leave only a few hours apart. I quietly closed the door, and when I turned around, I happened to meet Yang Wenhao's gaze, and I was stunned and looked away.
