Chapter 33: Bad News

Ryazan was stunned for a moment, but the strength in his hand did not weaken at all, and his slender fingers were still clasped around the man's neck like iron tongs, but the man could not move.

Duan Yuwen hurriedly said on the side: "Let it go, don't worry, I know him, he is Azina's person." ”

Hearing this, Ryazan and I were both shocked, the person in front of us turned out to be Azina's person? I couldn't believe it. Because in my impression, although this person does not appear many times, but every time he appears, he is very secretive, almost every time I leave Bu Jin, he will appear, if it is not secretly following me, it is impossible to be so coincidental.

Ryazan looked at me, then at the white-faced man, hesitated for a moment, but still let go of his hand, but still remained vigilant, and his eyes were fixed on the white-faced man's every move.

What made me feel speechless was that even if he was so fully guarded, he didn't forget to make fun of me, and said without looking back: "Lord Peixi, are you a cat, why are you so curious?" ”

I got up from the ground and rubbed my ass and complained, "Don't mention any cats to me, I'm panicking when I think about this old apartment now." ”

"What? Pain in the butt? Ryazan laughed again, but his eyes did not leave the white-faced man. And the white-faced man had no other dangerous moves, probably from the process of fighting just now, he had already found out that he was not Ryazan's opponent, so he simply stopped moving.

I don't know why, as soon as I saw Ryazan's grinning appearance, I was inexplicably angry, so I said: "This time I have to thank you, thanks to you for kicking my ass, if you kick me in the stomach again, I guess I will have to pass out." ”

Unexpectedly, Ryazan laughed twice and said, "It's okay, I'll rub it for you when I settle down in a while." ”

"Excuse me." At this moment, I was more curious about who the white-faced man in front of me was, so I asked Wang Chengbao: "Are you sure he is Ashina's person?" ”

Duan Yuwen nodded firmly and said, "It won't be wrong, in the past thirty years, I have been to that ancient village many times, he is Ashina's gatekeeper, and I can see him every time I visit Ashina." ”

Hearing this, I looked at the white-faced man again, but, in my memory, I had never seen such a person when I went to visit Ashina.

With Ryazan, a master, by my side, I was somewhat relieved to have the opportunity to lean forward and take a closer look at his face. However, the man apparently did not want to be visited like a monkey, and turned his head and glared at me fiercely.

I was glared at by him, and a flash of light flashed through my mind, and I suddenly remembered something. I did meet this man, and I saw him on my first night in Yunnan, and he was the man who was lying on my window glass in the middle of the night. Could it be that he has been following me since the day I stepped into Yunnan?

I asked Duan Yuwen what the name of this white-faced man was, and Duan Yuwen replied that it seemed to be Teng Yi. So I walked up to the white-faced man and asked, "Teng Yi?" ”

He snorted and turned his head to the side, not knowing if he understood me. I turned my head to Duan Yuwen and asked with some headaches, "He doesn't speak Chinese either?" ”

Duan Yuwen shook his head and said that he didn't know what to do. I fell silent for the first time in my life, and for the first time in my life, I felt the importance of language communication.

"Hey, you talk, if you lose, you lose, don't pout and be unhappy, if you don't admit defeat, we can do it again." Ryazan coaxed from the side.

I have to say that sometimes, I really think that this Ryazan is simply a psychopath, because no matter how serious and terrifying things he faces, he does not forget to make fun of them, and his amusement is by no means a natural optimistic performance, I faintly feel that this person has a ruffian in his bones, and he is very arrogant about everything.

I turned back to Ryazan and said, "You can subdue the madwoman and him, why can't you subdue your own mouth?" When has this been, are you still kidding? ”

Unexpectedly, Ryazan laughed twice when he heard my words, as if he was laughing at my ignorance, and said, "Who is joking with him?" This person is not a Miao person. ”

As soon as these words came out, Duan Yuwen and I were both stunned, especially Duan Yuwen, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly said: "Impossible, impossible, I have been to Guzhai many times, and he was Ashina's gatekeeper about ten years ago, I will not be mistaken." ”

"Who said that the people who stay in the ancient village must be Miao people?" Ryazan craned his neck and said.

His words were very casual, and it sounded as simple as answering that one plus one equals two, but Duan Yuwen and I were taken as a slap in the face, not to mention that it was like waking up from a dream.

Ryazan looked at the expressions of me and Duan Yuwen and said, "Why are you two so low in IQ, as for being so surprised?" ”

I am right, although most of the people in the ancient village are Miao people, this does not mean that the people in the village are Miao people. Both I and my father thirty years ago were confused by most of the Miao people in the village, so we had a preconceived notion that the village was the Miao village and the people in it were the Miao people. We don't know what the real situation is in the stockade.

I was surprised, "yes, we should have expected this a long time ago." The first time I met Ashuna, she spoke fairly standard Chinese, and I just wondered how a 103-year-old Miao lady could speak Chinese, but I ignored the fact that she might not be Miao at all. ”

At this time, the white-faced man suddenly spoke, as Ryazan expected, he was not a Miao person, but spoke standard Chinese: "You are not right, Ashuna Dawu is indeed a Miao tribe. ”

"What about you?" I asked.

Na Tengyi turned his face away, and did not answer my question, but said something quite off-topic that was not answered, and said, "You think that village is too simple. ”

Duan Yuwen was a little unconvinced at this time, and said, "It's too simple? I have been inspecting that ancient village for nearly 30 years, and I know very well what is inside that village. ”

"You're talking about the Ghost Gu Dungeon?" Teng Yi said disdainfully.

"What? What kind of dungeon do you say? Duan Yuwen said very nervously. I can understand his mood at the moment, for thirty years, he has been persistently inspecting the ancient village, but except for the first time with my father, he has never had the opportunity to set foot in the underground palace in the ancient village. And what that magnificent underground palace is used for, and what the hundreds of bronze coffins mean, he doesn't know, and this Teng Yi in front of him, the ghost Gu underground palace he said, probably shows that he has a certain understanding of that underground palace.

Faced with Duan Yuwen's questioning, Teng Yi was unmoved, he still said according to his logical thinking: "You have been hoping to explore that underground palace for decades, in fact, you have completely misunderstood the point, the underground palace itself does not mean anything, the real secret is far outside the ancient village, and someone has tried to uncover the secret, but it has not succeeded." ”

Hearing this, Ryazan said to me, "Lord Peixi, it seems that your low IQ was inherited from your father. It took almost thirty years to study the wrong content. ”

Although Ryazan's words were directed at me, it was obvious that Duan Yuwen blushed even more because what he had been painstakingly exploring for the past thirty years had suddenly become worthless in Teng Yi's mouth today, which was somewhat ironic.

"What's the real secret, and where is it?" Duan Yuwen asked excitedly.

Teng Yi said: "The real secret is only known to Ashuna, but she is dead." ”

Another bolt from the blue! Duan Yuwen and I were so surprised that we couldn't speak, in fact, as early as Duan Yuwen's letter, it was mentioned that Ashina's deadline was approaching, but when we heard the bad news, we still felt at a loss. Originally, we were going to return to the ancient village, but now that Ajuna, the only one who knows all these secrets, has died, how can we conduct future research?

"When did she die?" I asked.

Teng Yi looked at me, with some hostility in his eyes, and said, "On the night you went to see Azina. ”

I was shocked, "You mean, after that night, Azuna died?" ”

Teng Yi stopped talking, as if he was too lazy to repeat the message that had been conveyed.

I remembered the other time I saw Azina, her whole body was blocked by a long black curtain, and the only thing I could see was her dry hand. I remembered the smell in the house that night, it was the smell of death.

At this time, Duan Yuwen said to himself on the side: "The last time I visited Azina, she did say that her limit was approaching, and I don't think her physical condition is good, but I didn't expect her to die so soon." ”

Teng Yi turned his head to me at this time and said, "It can be said that Ashuna Dawu has already died, but since she still has an unfinished mission, she has been supporting until you come, and she has handed over all the tasks to you and Long Bujin to complete." ”

"What the hell is that mission?" I asked.

Teng Yi said: "I don't know what to do, the specific things are in the suicide note written by Ashuna Dawu before she died, and now, the suicide note has been handed over to Long Bujin, you can ask her." ”

"Then why didn't Azuna give me the suicide note directly, and why did you have to find Bu Jin to hand the suicide note when I wasn't by Bu Jin's side?" I was dissatisfied, since Azuna decided to hand over the task to me and Bu Jin to complete, why should she hide it from me?

Teng Yi glanced at me and didn't speak, but I could already see his disdain for me in his eyes, and it was obvious that he looked down on me a little.

"Are you afraid that I won't be able to complete the task that Azuna left me?" I asked again.

Teng Yi snorted and said, "If Ashuna gave you the suicide note at the beginning, then you might have been stolen before you saw it." Ashuna's order is to call you the suicide note when you are safe, have you forgotten what happened in the Qing Ming Teahouse? ”

I was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and after thinking about it again, I couldn't help but suddenly realize: "Ajuna sent you to secretly assist me in completing the task?"
