Chapter 218: Purple Pupil Highland Manor
The old man's next behavior can not be understood by normal people's thinking at all, anyone who experiences the following scenes, should be able to laugh, in reality there are countless people who are curious, but those who make it appear in front of people without concealment, calm and unashamed, are most likely crazy.
It's hard to imagine that Lan Xianyi would entertain guests like this, if you have to use any analogy, the room looks like an interrogation room, he treats himself as a "sinner" and is locked in a "prison" with animal specimens, and Yuna, who is outside the iron railing, is equivalent to a policeman.
If Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan were present, they would definitely be able to tacitly cooperate to ask important information, but she was different, she would be controlled by impatient emotions after sitting for a long time, and even if she maintained this situation for one more second, she would forget all about the purpose of coming here.
Saying...... Is this old man really Lan Xianyi, or is he a Tianzhao cultist disguised as Lan Xianyi?
"This manor looks like it's been abandoned for a long time, and it's full of monsters, why are you still here?" Yuna began.
"Or else, I'll live here...... As a farmer, where else can I go?" Listening to Lan Xianyi's tone, it was exactly the same as the dead Yi Youting.
"How could the merchants of Wanyang City appear in the Hidden Realm?"
In order to learn from the history of the Qier Plain, the federal government has been working for many years to expand the channels of food production, encouraging merchants to expropriate land from tenant farmers at high prices, and giving those who want to make a fortune a godsend. ”
"Your daughter is dead, what's the use of making more money?" Yuna sighed.
"No...... This was not the case initially. Lan Yiyi threw a bunch of keys in his hand on the table and rolled his eyes, "The soil around the Purple Pupil Highland Manor is fertile, suitable for the growth of a variety of crops, and it is located in a hidden realm, so outsiders can't find it at all, Yan Huan and I were able to enjoy a peaceful life, but when I learned her true identity, everything changed." ”
"Lan Lingxiang's mother is from the Yin Pavilion Yan family, right!" Yun Na stroked the ends of her hair and recalled the past.
Lan Yiyi's hand twitched, and his expression became extremely distorted. "It's all because I was young and frivolous, didn't listen to my parents' persuasion, and insisted on eloping with her, which led to today's disaster. ”
"If the two are happy, what is there to regret?"
"Girl, do you really think so? Then let me ask you, who personally handed over Lan'er to the four great families, and who shoveled off the last handful of soil on the human sacrifice? My beloved wife!" Lan Yiyi let out a strange smile that did not look like a human being, and got up and shook the iron railing.
"Old man, people can't be resurrected after death, please mourn and change. Yuna comforted softly.
"Don't talk nonsense with me, Lan'er is not dead!" Lan Xianyi leaned against the wall as if she was drunk, her pupils suddenly contracted, "I saw her too, it's just ...... Why doesn't she want to go home with her father?"
"What we see...... It's just Lan Lingxiang's bearded spirit. ”
"No...... Deep down, she must still be blaming me for that. Lan Yiyi covered his face with his hands and whimpered, "Lan'er was eleven years old that year, under the treatment of Dr. Ivor, her condition had just improved, and I led my family to move to Wanyang City to live. ”
"She is my friend and partner, and I am also sad, but how can you join the Tianzhao Sect?" Yuna closed her eyes slightly, slightly tired, "If Lan Ling Xiangquan knows, she definitely doesn't want her father to become like this." ”
"No matter how miserable I am, it's better than that coward of Molong, who won't say anything except how to make the Soul Troubled Mask. ”
"Listen! I have to rescue Jasmine. Yuna licked her upper lip and stared at the set of keys on the table, guessing that one of them would open the iron door to the second phase of the Hidden Ruins Cemetery. ”
Lan Yiyi's gaze passed through his fingers, as if sensing her intentions.
"Lan Yifan told you where the Mask of Innocence was hidden?"
"She just asked me to go to the Hidden Ruins Cemetery and ask Yan Huan. ”
"Have you seen my poor wife, then?"
"I see...... The fog was too great to confirm if it was her. ”
"How do you want me to help you?"
"Give me the keys. ”
Hearing only a "pop" sound, Lan Yiyi threw the bunch of keys into Youna's hand, a total of seven, the handle of the keys was brown and black, and it was difficult to tell the difference between them without looking carefully.
"Which one is the key to the second phase of the Hidden Ruins Cemetery?"
"I don't know...... You'll find out when you try it one by one. ”
"You gave me all the keys, won't you be able to get out?"
"Don't worry...... I have my own way......" A hysterical smile appeared on the corner of Lan Yiyi's mouth, and after Yuna turned to leave the room, he reached out and picked up the dog head mask on the table and put it on his head.
After leaving the Purple Pupil Highland Manor, Yuna decided to return to the Hidden Ruins Cemetery, with Lan Xianyi's current mental state, I am afraid that she will not be able to answer what she wants to ask the most, although Dr. Mo Long and Lan Xianyi have both made soul disturbance masks, but they give people a different impression, the former shows the hypocrisy of human nature, and the latter is the tyranny of beasts.
Soul disturbance noodles are addictive, and once you wear them for a long time, you can't quit them. Lan Xianyi obviously has some kind of way to curb its negative effects, what is it? It's just that it won't be too late to mention this matter after she finds Yan Huan.
Based on what she thought in her heart, the strange aura that permeated the wilderness made her even more alert, the smell of earth was even stronger than just now, and the four scarecrows stood in place as always, and the seeping sight made Yuna can't help but turn around every few steps and find that they were following her.
At the first glance, the four scarecrows lined up in a horizontal row, the second glance became a vertical column, and the third eye, facing each other, was closer to her......
Yuna didn't dare to take a fourth look, afraid that the scarecrow would flash around and block her way. She realized that the "moving scarecrow" was actually a supernatural phenomenon, and she was afraid that even the spirit exorcism spell could not be dealt with, because the "phenomenon" had no substance, and was an ethereal existence more ethereal than the soul and the primordial spirit.
The word "phenomenon" not only reminds her of calamities, such as the "soul disturbance phenomenon", in which both Lan Yaofan and Molong's parents died in accidents, but also symbolizes people's fear that common sense cannot explain things, such as the weeds that have grown waist-high in less than half an hour of her stay in the manor, and she even has to watch out for the barbs on the leaves, and push the grass from the inside to the outside with her palms to move forward.
This does not conform to the laws of nature, ordinary grass cannot grow so fast, is what you see in front of you an illusion? But why are a few dog barks in the distance so realistic?
Her vision was obscured by the grass, and she couldn't tell how many human-faced dogs there were, feeling them lurking nearby, grinning and waiting for their moment, leaping up in unison at the slightest movement.
Yuna saw that the terrain was unfavorable to her, even if she summoned the Exorcism Spell to stand the spear, she couldn't find the target, and the gunfire would reveal her position, so she could only lower her voice and walk slowly along the field path. After walking about ten meters, a roar sounded behind her, startling her and stepping into the waterhole, and there was a strange movement in the grass on both sides at the same time.
It seems that her whereabouts have been locked by the human-faced dogs, they are running towards this side, in order to avoid getting into trouble, they can only shoot back in the open area, a chase is inevitable, fortunately their physical strength is not as good as humans, when they run to the north gate of the Hidden Ruins Cemetery, they finally get rid of them.
Belch...... Saying that, only hearing its voice, not seeing its shape, they are not necessarily human-faced dogs, maybe she is just fighting wits and courage with the air, these are all psychological effects.
After that, Yuna used not too light steps to return to the front of the tomb road leading to the second phase of the Hidden Ruins Cemetery, and tried the set of keys that Lan Xianyi gave her, until there was a muffled sound of "clang", and the iron door finally opened.
Compared to the first phase of the cemetery, this tomb is more secluded, and Yuna does not feel the slightest resentment, but there are still puzzles to solve, and it should not be taken lightly, according to the proverb on the fountain, the next task is to find another semicircular stone slab, where the structure of the tomb is more complex than before, and it is not easy to find the stone slab.
Moreover, most of the residents of the Hidden Realm are buried here, except for the different tombstones, the specifications of the tombs are basically the same, and it is difficult to distinguish Lan Yifan's brother's grave from it, but Lan Yaofan was the principal of Orno Academy after all, and it is not surprising that there are thousands of paper cranes offered by students in front of the tomb, but these paper cranes have long been burned out.
The reason why she recognized this as a paper crane just by the scraps of paper in her hand was because Duan Ruoxian taught her how to fold it at a fan meeting last year, and emphasized that Shen Fangli knew it as early as when she was a student, but she forgot it after she became Youna, she was skeptical at the time, and now she thinks it's not a big deal.
At least she had an explanation for Lan Yifan, so she silently recited the incantation, summoned the wreath of Mao from the Heavenly Dream Stone, held it in both hands and dedicated it under the tombstone, a breeze blew away the mist, and the content of the inscription was extremely clear in the light of the flashlight:
Beloved Mr. Lan Yaofan is buried here, and on July 1, 766 A.D., he was killed by an accident at the age of 91.
Just as Yuna made a prayer gesture, the light of the flashlight began to flicker frequently, and a large black shadow stood out behind her, and a cold voice sounded in her ears.
"Whoa...... Can you help me make my wish come true?"
Frightened, she turned around suddenly, and found that it was actually a man wearing a dog-headed mask, although the identity of this person was not recognized at a glance, but this mask was undoubtedly the best work in the exhibition room of the Purple Pupil Highland Manor.
"Mr. Lan Xianyi, are you ...... How did you get out of prison?" Yuna asked tentatively, calling that room a little inappropriate, but she couldn't think of any words to describe it.
"This ...... Don't worry about it, take me to Yan Huan. The mask made Lan Yiyi's voice extremely low, completely different from when Yuna first met.
"Actually, I don't know where she is?"
"It's okay...... We can look for it together. ”
His way of speaking always pausing made Yuna extremely uncomfortable, Lan Xianyi seemed to be a different person, if he gave him advice at this time, would he accept it?
"I advise you to take off your soul harassing mask, or I'm afraid you'll turn into a monster like the rest of the Omen Cultists. ”
"Don't ...... I'm able to restrain myself. ”
Yuna thought he was going to say something to curb the addiction of the Soul Disturbance Mask, but he stood there like a statue, his eyes fixed on an empty tomb in the distance.
