When I walked into the gate and took the key to open the door of the side yard, I suddenly felt the breath around me change sharply, and I quickly turned around to dodge, and several steel needles pierced the door panel where I was standing just now.

I was momentarily surprised to see the wooden figure I saw slowly moving towards me in an inconspicuous corner of the courtyard.

I had to retreat, to the direction of the hall, I don't know what this is, with the last experience, I don't dare to move, but as soon as I took a step, there was a hidden weapon shot out again in the direction of the house, after the wooden man approached, I had to hide behind him, who knew that the source of this hidden weapon was not in a certain direction at all, but in all directions, and I couldn't hide at all. I was distracted by those hidden weapons, and I didn't notice it for a while, and I was caught by the wooden people around me, so I had to shout to Mr. Bai in the room in a hurry.

There was no response from inside, I kicked or hit a piece of wood, one shoulder was clutched by it, and I couldn't separate from it, and I was anxious, and the mechanism in the yard seemed to be closed, and there was a slight sound, and the short needles and arrows that fell to the ground and were nailed to the door all rose out of thin air, and flew out upside down and disappeared from nowhere.

I turned my head and saw Situ Yao standing under the hall with his sword in his hand, and for a moment, I was relieved and relieved.

"What did you do again?" He frowned, I also felt wronged, and said, "I just want to open the courtyard door, which was agreed by Mr. Bai before, and I don't know why it touched the mechanism." ”

"The White Gate Traps don't be triggered for no reason, they must have sensed some hostility or evil aura that threatened the place."

Situ Yao walked up to me, his eyes were fixed on me, he glanced up and down, saw the package in my hand, and said, "What are you carrying?" ”

"You let it let me go first, and I'll search for you, if there is really something evil on me, I will dispose of it with you."

Situ Yao ignored me and snatched my package directly, I couldn't resist with one hand, so I could only push the wooden man twice in anger.

"Stones?" Situ Yao's already wrinkled brows furrowed even tighter, and he snorted coldly and said, "There is no yin and evil thing, what is the spell on it?" What else do you have to quibble? ”

I felt even more innocent, and seeing that he looked unaware, I was even more suspicious of the origin of these stones, so I hesitated a little before I said to him: "These are all mixed with the corpses that were salvaged that day, and I also saw that they looked strange, so I kept them, and I wanted to take them and dissect them to study their origin and function." ”

"There are so many excuses, you ......"

"Xiao Yao."

Situ Yao was interrupted before he finished speaking, and the hand that the wooden man was holding me suddenly let go, my shoulder loosened, I felt a pain, rubbed it with my other hand, and turned my head to look in the direction of the source of the sound.

Bai Zhong sat in a wheelchair, looked at Situ Yao, and said, "Give her back the things." ”

Situ Yao was puzzled, Bai Zhong said: "This woman is not a bad person, since they have come to our Dongchuan, we should treat each other with the highest courtesy, the secret weapon of the white door is not long-sighted, but the people of Dongchuan should not be like this." ”

This time, not only Situ Yao, but even I couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Bai Zhong was selling in this gourd.

But since I couldn't see him, I couldn't let it go, and I didn't care about those stones anymore, I chased after him a few steps, hugged his hand and said to him: "Mr. Bai, if we didn't finish talking to you last time, I still want to talk to you." ”

Bai Zhong was expressionless and said, "I have nothing to talk about with you, your affairs, I am just an outsider who is too far away." ”

"We?" I felt that he meant what he said, but he was constrained by something and couldn't say it thoroughly, so I asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"You, your master, Zhao Huaiyi, King Dingshan, and ......" He looked at me, his gaze was particularly meaningful, "Xu Shi." ”

I felt that my breath was stagnant, obviously I didn't know any of these people, I hadn't even heard of them, but my chest was stuffy, and I was aching faintly, especially the last one, when he said the word Xu Shi, my heart was trembling, and I felt a sad colic.

Bai Zhong looked straight at me, I didn't know why, I lost my temper for a while, and when I raised my hand to touch it, I realized that my cheeks were moist, and somehow, they were covered with tears.

"Mr. Bai!"

When I saw that he was leaving, I knelt down on one knee in front of him and said, "What do you know about my master?" Tell me, who are you talking about, and what the hell is going on? ”

"Help her up!" Bai Zhong said to Situ Yao, speaking urgently, and coughed again.

Situ Yao hesitated, so he had to come to me, I shook my head, and said, "It's not difficult for me to be strong, but I really can't think of any other way, and now I finally caught a little clue, I don't dare to give up." Mr. Bai, if you don't want to speak, I'm here waiting for you to change your mind. ”

After speaking, he nodded on his knees, knelt down on his knees, leaned over and said, "The disciple is incompetent, please." ”

"Girl...... Why do you ...... this?" he said to me, "How can you make me stand it!" ”

"Bai Lao." Situ Yao went to his side, but was reprimanded: "What are you helping me do, let her get up!" ”

The pull between the two of us, Situ Yao became a difficult person, I stubbornly refused to get up, insisted that he give me an answer, Bai Zhong couldn't, was silent for a long time, and in the end, sighed heavily, and said: "These things shouldn't be revealed by me, but we just met together, perhaps, this is the punishment that Situ Jing and I deserve to be punished for being greedy for a while." ”

Hearing this, Situ Yao was also stunned, and then he was called: "Xiao Yao." ”

Bai Zhong said to him: "You have a pure heart, all these years, you have not participated in the cause of the evil consequences planted by the Situ family, among us people, if you are innocent, you are the only one. You remember, if your eldest brother encounters any accident one day, don't blame anyone, you must let go of your hatred, and you don't need to take responsibility for the future of the Situ family, you just represent yourself and live a good life in the future. ”

"Bai Lao?" Situ Yao stared, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Bai Zhong didn't answer, turned his gaze to me, and said to him, "You take her to the Situ family's library and show her the historical books that my father and I brought back from the far sea many years ago." ”

"Girl." Bai Zhong looked at me, "That's all I can do." ”

"Thank you, sir." I leaned over again to give him a big salute, and when I got up, I saw Situ Yao's ugly face, understood his feelings, and stood aside without making a sound.

The matter is related to his eldest brother and father, and it involves life and death, I thought he would ask Bai Zhong questions, but Situ Yao just faced Bai Zhong, and after being silent for a long time, he said to him: "I have been away from Dongchuan since I was a child, and I have traveled abroad for many years, until before the disaster occurred ten years ago, I didn't know anything about family affairs, but since I chose to come back at that time, no matter what happened to the Situ family, I will spend it with it." Bai Lao, what you have done with my father, now I have to pay for it, I don't interfere, and I can't change it, I only know that I am the son of Situ Jing, I have the blood of the Situ family, and now Dongchuan is in danger, if the eldest brother can't hold on, this family will be resisted by me, as long as our Situ lineage has not been broken, even if only I am left in the end, I will guard this family, and the people of Dongchuan will fight to the end, and I will never live alone, and even forget my roots. ”

Bai Zhong's aged face couldn't hide the pain, looking at Situ Yao's eyes full of pity, he decided to do it resolutely, there was no room for persuasion, Bai Zhong had no more words, and finally only turned into a sigh, turned the wheelchair to the side, and slowly returned to the inner hall.

Situ Yao looked at his back, his jaw was always tightly locked, and even the outline of his neck was angular because of his stoic forbearance.

I waited by the side for a while, waiting for Situ Yao to adjust his mood and say to me to go, then hurriedly put away the stones, quickly followed, and returned to the round building.

"The library pavilion is on the eighth floor, just opposite my eldest brother's bedroom, except for the Situ family's own people, no outsiders have ever entered." Situ Yao walked and said to me, "It's okay for me to take you there, but don't take out books, let alone near my eldest brother's door to disturb his recuperation." ”

Recuperate, not recuperate.

I responded later, Situ Yao knew very well that the reason why Situ Yu became like this, the serious illness rumored outside was all fake, and the reason why he was weak like that was completely caused by internal injuries caused by excessive cultivation of spells.

I followed him upstairs, close to the eighth floor, both of them slowed down their pace, walked to the opposite side, Situ Yao took out the key to open the lock on the door, after entering, there were tall cabinets lined up inside, and most of the stories on it were ordinary stories of Zhiwei and some records between the various factions of the Inhuman Warlock, and there were other locked, which should be the more important records of their Situ family.

Situ Yao walked to the deepest part and dragged out a box made of wood from the corner, which had not been opened for a long time, and the trivial on it had rusted, Situ Yao took a rag to wipe off the dust on it, and after opening the lock, it revealed a pile of books that were very rotten inside.

"These should be all, before my father died, my eldest brother put them here and never touched them."

I nodded, walked over and carefully moved them to my desk, and when I reached for the books, I felt as if they were about to shatter at the touch, and when I got closer, I could smell a slight musty smell on them.

"I'll go outside, you can take your time." Situ Yao said.

I nodded, and after he left, I couldn't wait to figure out the story, and roughly counted the records, the same specifications, and the largest number, a total of thirty-one volumes. I lit a lamp on the table, turned it over from my head, and recorded the time on it, the language was a little difficult to understand, I struggled to understand, and the handwriting was blurry, so I read it slowly.
