Chapter 326: Ghost Slave No. 4
Leaving the Yujin Apartment, Dong Muya took a few steps before letting go. She had to feel very lucky, because her student Dong Haofan was a relatively simple boy, so she should not doubt the real purpose of her and Min Entong's trip to Yujin Apartment. She held the blue folder that Dong Fan gave them just now, and her heart was like a bird flying in, jumping excitedly, and her steps couldn't help but become brisk.
As soon as she stepped into Ouyang's ancient mansion, she and Min Entong went straight to the underground database, took out the diary and blue folder left by Ran Tianyou, and spread them out on the table together. As she flipped through the contents of the folder page by page, the expectation in her eyes gradually dimmed, and her brows began to wrinkle more and more. After a cursory glance at the contents of the folder, she shook her head and sighed.
"What? Nothing useful? Min Entong asked, and then dragged the folder she had just left in front of him.
"How so...... The clues seemed to be more scattered than I had imagined, and none of them seemed to be immediately identified, except for this one! Dong Muya walked around behind Min Entong, flipped the folder in front of him to page ten, and then turned Ran Tianyou's diary to page twenty, and continued, "Regarding how Ran Tianyou entered the demon realm, their descriptions are completely consistent. ”
Min Entong read in the direction of her finger, and then muttered, "Mother Rakshasa's ghost slave? ”
Dong Muya nodded and replied: "Yes, both of them mentioned that this ghost slave was forced to work for the Rakshasa Mother, and he himself was just afraid of the powerful power of the Rakshasa Mother, and he was worried about being killed by it, and he had no loyalty at all." ”
"And, take out its favorite roast chicken and sake in this place in the Yongchuan forest, and it will appear?! This ghost slave is still a gourmet! He collects benefits privately, what will the Rakshasa mother do when she finds out? Min began to doubt the credibility of the message.
"I guess I'll burn him to black coal, but I've heard that the monster of Mother Rakshasa is moody in itself, and her subordinates will be eliminated by her if they don't like her in the slightest." Dong Muya instinctively thought that the description of this ghost slave should not be wrong.
"Then Tianyou used the Lock Demon Array to catch it at the beginning." Min Euntong's big lenses flashed behind the lenses and continued, "It also has a name, it's called Four, why is it called such a strange name?" ”
Just as the discussion between the two was in full swing, they didn't notice when Ouyang Xiaoleng walked into the underground database, and it wasn't until he opened his mouth to ask questions that they were surprised by his existence.
"Where did you get this folder?" Ouyang Xiaoleng asked.
Dong Muya was taken aback by his sudden question because she was too focused on talking to Min Entong, and adjusted her breathing a little before responding: "Entong and I have met Dong Fan today, this is what he handed us over, and he hopes that we can continue to look for Ran Tianyou." ”
"Number Four...... Do you think it's possible to reappear? If it had been working for the Rakshasa Mother, then perhaps it would have known about the secret passages in the royal city. Ouyang Xiaoleng was also very interested in this No. 4 who had dealt with Ran Tianyou.
"It was it that deceived your uncle Ran Tianyou and introduced him to the Sparrow Hotel, so even if you can still see it, you can't fully believe its words." Dong Muya couldn't help but remind.
"It's better than sitting still, I'll go to the Yongchuan Forest tomorrow to find it." Ouyang Xiao Liang is determination has been made.
"Okay, I'll draw you the coordinates of the specific location!" Dong Muya saw that he had a firm attitude, so she had no choice but to say.
Although for monsters, more than ten years is just a flick of a finger, Ouyang Xiaoleng also doubts how long this No. 4 can live as a Rakshasa mother. But when he thought about it, Tianyou's diary had briefly recorded his dealings with Four, this ghost slave seemed to be more cunning than the others, and was not willing to completely obey the orders of the Rakshasa Mother, it should have its own ideas, or it was waiting for the opportunity to escape from the Rakshasa Mother's grasp at any time.
The location where Ran Tianyou grabbed No. 4 was right at the entrance of a maze connecting the demon world and the human world, and according to the records in his diary, that location should be somewhere not far from the shore of Silver Moon Lake.
The next day happened to be the weekend, and together with Xia Qiu, he prepared a roast chicken and a small pot of wine in advance, and entered the Yongchuan Forest early.
Ouyang Xiaoleng stood still under the largest banyan tree by the lake, took out a compass and said to Xia Qiu: "It should be from here and go in the southeast direction for forty-five steps." ”
"One, two, three, four...... Forty-five! So Xia Qiu counted the starters with him.
They were sure that they had found the location that Dong Muya had marked, and this place was very strange, although it was not far from the lake, the canopy above them grew particularly luxuriantly, and was connected together, so that the light under the canopy was dim, and it was full of an inexplicable sense of mystery.
After taking the roast chicken and flask out of the pockets they had carried, the two sat down on the floor, waiting for the appearance of the four. Xia Qiu felt that this feeling was similar to when she was fishing in the lake with her grandfather when she was a child, they had to be quiet and not make too much noise, both nervous and excited.
But the excitement gradually waned as time passed, and they waited until the afternoon, during which Xia Qiu even fell asleep for a while unconsciously. Just as she opened her eyes, an ugly figure appeared in front of her, because she had seen a ghost slave similar to it before that, so she would not be frightened.
The ghost slave was much older than the ones she had seen before, with the same almost all-black skin, a short, skinny stature, and an oversized coarse cloth robe.
After it appeared out of thin air, it stared at Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng silently for a while, and then asked, "Why did you change people?!" ”
Ouyang Xiaoleng pushed the roast chicken and wine jug towards it, and coldly ordered it: "Don't talk nonsense, this is for you, take us to the demon world!" ”
"Yo, where did this little master come from, he is so short-tempered, I am already a free body now, I don't have to suffer the anger of that old witch, you are angry with me again, why?!" The ghost slave sneered.
"Are you Four?" Xia Qiu asked gently.
"That's right, that's me! The little girl sounded much more comfortable talking. Four grinned, showing his yellow teeth.
"Can you tell me why your name is Four?" Xia Qiu asked another irrelevant question to ease the tension just now.
"Name?! How can number four be a name, number four is just my code name among the ghost slaves of the Rakshasa Mother. Four said with an ugly smile.
"Since you're no longer working for her, can you help us?" Xia Qiu continued to ask.
"Helping you?! To put it lightly. Although I don't work for her anymore, if she knows what I shouldn't do, it's a dead end. The fourth rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, why don't you need me to take you to the demon world, this young man is obviously a powerful character." What exactly is your purpose, honestly say it, maybe I can think about it. ”
"We need to know where the secret passages in the royal city are." Ouyang Xiaoleng asked.
"More than ten years ago, the demon hunter who caught me with the Demon Lock Array wanted me to wait for him to find the Rakshasa Mother, do you know where I led him to? I'm sure you know, because you must have been prompted by him to find this place. Four's tone was defiant.
"Sparrow Inn!" Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu said in unison.
"Yes, he was chased and killed by Madame Lan's men later, and he should have died a long time ago." Four's wrinkled face showed a hint of smugness.
Ouyang Xiaoleng's patience was close to the limit, and his anger could not be suppressed for a long time, so he picked up the tattered robe on No. 4 and shouted, "Don't try to provoke me!" ”
"It's a big deal, kill me, anyway, I'm a cheap life, either killed by the Rakshasa Mother, or killed by others." Number Four was visibly struggling to breathe, but his mouth was unconvinced.
"If you can help us, we can find a way to protect you!" Summer and autumn conditions are opened.
"Protect me?" Four glanced at her.
"Yes!" Xia Qiu turned to Ouyang Xiaoleng and said, "Xiaoleng, let it go." ”
"Hmm." Ouyang Xiaoleng let go of No. 4.
Number Four took a few deep breaths and complained, "Well, this little girl is worthy of being human, so she speaks human language, not like ......"
Immediately found that Ouyang Xiaoleng was glaring at him fiercely, so he closed his mouth.
"Tell us about the secret passages in the royal city!" Xia Qiu thought that there might be a chance to hear something from Four's mouth, so she asked.
"The secret passage, it's the secret passage again, I only know two of them, tell you that it's okay, see what benefits you can give me!"
"You still dare to talk about conditions?!" Ouyang Xiao Leng asked.
"What?! I risk being burned to black coals by Mother Rakshasa to tell you what I know, and I will not be allowed to live happily for a few days. Trumpet Four replied with his head raised and looked at the sky.
"Tell me what you want?" Xia Qiu asked it.
"Give me a bag of gold first." Number Four replied without thinking
"Tell us where the two secret passages you know are?" Xia Qiu and Ouyang Xiaoleng exchanged colors and continued to ask No. 4.
"One is in the underground warehouse of the Sparrow Hotel." Number Four answered.
"We already know that." Ouyang Xiaoleng said impatiently.
"There is another one, which is in the back mountain outside Chenji Palace." Four deliberately made his words sound mystical in order to serve its purpose.
"Take us now, and if you prove right, I'll give you a bag of gold."
After listening to Ouyang Xiaoleng's words, this time it was the turn of No. 4 to glare at him and ask, "Why should I believe you?!" ”
"Just by who I am." Ouyang Xiaoleng raised his left arm forward, and the sterling silver fox-shaped armband on it appeared.
"You are the descendant of the demon king fox...... Well, deal! ”
After No. 4 learned Ouyang Xiaoleng's true identity, he verbally promised to lead them to the entrance of the secret passage hidden in the back mountain outside the Chenji Palace.
As for whether this cunning ghost slave would deceive them, Xia Qiu, like Ouyang Xiaoleng, was not very sure, so he had to follow it first.
No. 4 first tied the wine jug to the bag around his waist, then stomped the ground with one foot, and then motioned to Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu behind him to let them follow it. Ouyang Xiaoleng stretched out his hand to grab Xia Qiu, followed No. 4 and took a few steps forward, and suddenly felt like he had fallen into a big hole, and when he came back to his senses, they had already entered the demon realm.
This is one of the most remote alleys in Yongchuan, Wangcheng, and the whole alley does not seem to let in a little light, and the dark walls and wooden windows make people suspect that the houses on both sides should have not been used for a long time.
Xia Qiu never remembered that there was such a place in the royal city, so she looked at Ouyang Xiaoleng in surprise and asked, "What kind of place is this?" I don't have any impressions. ”
Without waiting for Ouyang Xiaoleng to speak, the fourth took the first step to respond: "Hehe, because this street has long been sealed in the enchantment." Sixteen years ago, the great war left all the inhabitants of the street and all the inhabitants were killed, and the area has been cut off ever since. ”
