Chapter 50: The Old Place
As soon as Rhubarb's words came out, I knew that this guy must have a follow-up, and sure enough, Rhubarb said with a smile: "There are few people in this Chen family, and the grandfathers and grandchildren are all together, isn't it time to go back to the nest?" ”
As soon as I heard it, I was happy: "Rhubarb." You shouldn't mean Chen Xuance, this guy took Xiaoqinghui Chen Jialin, right? ”
"But Chen Xuance didn't say goodbye last time, wouldn't his masters Cao Wufu and Guo Fengxian go to him?" The old cat frowned and said.
Rhubarb smiled: "Look at it, this is what a smart person like you thinks, a simple and rude person like me doesn't think so, the most dangerous place is the safest place, what do Chen Xuance and Chen Xiaoqing think?" It's going to be a risky move! And the King of Ten Thousand Dragons, how busy they are now. Where do you still have the heart to grind foreign workers with Old Man Chen! ”
The old cat was stupid by Rhubarb's words, Rujun and I both smiled and nodded, Rujun especially supported Rhubarb: "I don't think Rhubarb's judgment this time is wrong, Chen Jialin, we should always go and see." ”
Rhubarb saw that even Rujun supported himself, of course he was very happy, and I didn't have any opinions with the old cat, anyway, I hadn't been to the east for a long time. I happened to go over and investigate this time.
……
After a night's rest, the next day we were still operating during the day.
As the New Year approaches, the flow of people in Sijiu City is getting less and less, and many people who come here to work here are starting to go home, and the city is finally becoming less crowded.
In fact, after the departure of those who should leave, there are very few remaining populations in these four nine cities, and this is a real four nine cities, and the steel forest is lifeless.
Because it was daytime, of course it was impossible for us to go down and wait for the blood-colored subway, and without Lao Xie's help, we couldn't enter Chen Jialin in an internal way, and now the only way was to sneak in from the entrance of Sihui.
The flow of people here is much smaller, but it doesn't mean that there is none. We tried three or four times during the day, but we couldn't get through the tightly sealed iron fence under the C1 entrance.
After thinking about it, I had to wait for the night when there were fewer people to do it. The four of us found a café temporarily, sat down and slowly thought about the next plan, what should we do after we met Xiaoqing? Will Xiaoqing be reluctant to work with us? What kind of moth is Chen Xuance doing? Who the hell is this old guy serving?
We still can't figure it out, although Chen Xuance is Cao Wufu's disciple, but it is obvious that Chen Xuance has now turned his back on Cao Wufu, and he has not been used by Cao Wufu at all.
Rujun thought for a while and said, "I always feel that we still underestimate Chen Xuance, I originally thought that what he was seeking was to get a good position by the side of the King of Ten Thousand Dragons, such as one of the three sages." For example, one of the seven evils...... But now it doesn't seem to be like this, Old Man Chen's plan is even bigger than what we see. ”
"But what could it be?" I frowned and thought, but I couldn't think of a reason: "You say...... Could it be related to returning yang jade? ”
Rujun was stunned: "You mean that Old Man Chen covets Yang Yu?" "Surrounding the acres of saints.
I nodded and said, "Yes, you also admitted that night, Xiaoqing may have covered for the person who stole Huanyang Jade, what if this person is Old Man Chen?" ”
"But what is the use of the jade he has taken?" Rujun asked.
"How to use the Celestial Eye Lotus...... Do you remember what Yao Guangxiao said? When we traveled back before, Emperor Zun in white once said that Yao Guangxiao had studied and understood the use of the Tianyan Lotus......"
"Is it a crossing?"
I shook my head slightly: "Maybe it's more than just crossing?" Maybe the Tianyan Lotus has other functions? Could Old Man Chen really aim to use the Tianyan Lotus to complete other conspiracies? ”
Rujun's face changed, and Rhubarb and the old cat sat on the sidelines, looking at us as if listening to a book from heaven.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong, I looked at Chen Jialin in the distance, and said in a low voice: "No, we have to act today, find Xiaoqing first, and then ask what Chen Xuance is doing now, Tianyan Lotus is too terrifying, I am worried that Chen Xuance will do something terrifying!" ”
……
After a long day, it was finally evening, and as I expected, after almost ten o'clock, there was no one here.
The waiters at the coffee shop had already changed shifts, and they must have wondered who the four of us were, and why we stayed here all day.
When no one was around, the old cat skillfully pried open the door of the iron fence, and we got into the subway tunnel.
Part of the tunnel is already outside the surface, and there is only a very narrow tunnel going underground, which is of course the passage to the Chenjialin subway station.
The four of us walked nervously, perhaps because we knew that Chen Xuance was plotting a lot, so we didn't dare to act rashly or relax a little.
The formation was the same as before, I took the lead, like a gentleman pressing the formation, all the way forward, towards Chen Jialin.
The tunnel was deep, and seeing that we could already see the dim lights in the public toilet of the Chenjialin subway station at the far exit, Rujun suddenly whispered: "Wait, it's so gloomy." ”
We were a little nervous by Rujun's words, so we stopped first, and at this moment, a wind with a strange smell blew from a distance.
It is indeed a very strong and eerie atmosphere, but what is even stranger is not the gloomy wind, but the smell of the wind.
It was a kind of fat powder taste, or woman's fragrance, although it was very light, but it was obvious.
"Rujun, this ...... What does it taste like? The old cat may think that Rujun is a girl and has a deep understanding of this taste, so she asked Rujun directly.
Rujun frowned and said, "This ...... Seems to be a scent. ”
"The smell of fat powder?" The old cat asked.
Rujun shook his head: "It's not like it, the taste of fat powder is more elegant than this taste, this fragrance is very plain, but it is a bit like sandalwood......"
"Sandalwood?" The old cat frowned, feeling that something was wrong: "It stands to reason that sandalwood should be a very masculine fragrance, and it also has the effect of driving away ghosts, why does it appear in Chen Jialin?" This is the stronghold of the ghost...... Besides, this sandalwood is mixed in the yin wind, which makes people feel a little strange, right? ”
Things got weirder, and after calming down, we waited for a while, and when we were sure there was no other sound, we moved on.
Did the wind come from afar, there was always a smell of sandalwood in the air, and I suddenly felt that it could be that some righteous person attacked Chen Jialin, right? However, I was quickly dispelled by such doubts.
Because when I was close to Chen Jialin, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Wow...... Scold...... ......"
It's rhythmic, and it's very powerful, I know what kind of sound it is, it's the sound of Chen Xiaoqing's stupid boy sharpening his knife.
"Xiaoqing? Xiaoqing? I whispered, looking towards the platform, and sure enough, as far as I could see, Chen Xiaoqing was sitting at the bottom of the stairs, holding a dagger in his hand, grinding it again and again.
The moment Chen Xiaoqing saw me, the expression on his face moved slightly, I was suddenly stunned, and saw a figure flash in the distance, but then disappeared in an instant.
It was a very slender figure, with long slender legs and white eyes, and although I only saw a small fragment, I could be sure that it was a young girl!
"Lin Yang, why are you here?" Xiaoqing touched her head and asked, "I...... I sharpen my knives, what a coincidence......"
As soon as I heard Chen Xiaoqing's words, I knew that Xiaoqing had a ghost in her heart, and I pointed to the disappearing figure in the distance and asked, "Do you have a guest?" ”
Chen Xiaoqing glanced back, then shook his head and said, "No, there are no guests, Chen Jialin is alone." ”
Saying that, Xiaoqing continued to sharpen his knife, and I looked back at Rujun and them, the three of them nodded at the same time, and I was not the only one who saw that figure.
Although Chen Xiaoqing did not tell us the reason, it is undeniable that he did have something to hide from us.
I jumped to the platform, looked around and asked, "Xiaoqing, where is Old Man Chen?" ”
