Zheng An, the helmsman of the canal gang Hangzhou rudder.

He had good martial arts, he had a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, he was always very fair in business, he rarely offended people, and he had almost no enemies.

He lived on the south bank of the canal, no more than three miles from where the Confucian merchant ships docked.

The road is not remote, the birds and flowers are fragrant here, the pavilion stands by the water, and from a distance, it is a leisurely and beautiful manor.

Zheng An has only one son, named Zheng Jing, who is eighteen years old and has just reached adulthood. Zheng An didn't want him to become a man in the rivers and lakes, so he let him study to gain fame. This kid is also obedient, and is already a well-known talent in the neighborhood, and he plans to go to Beijing in two years, and when he is twenty years old, he will enter Beijing to participate in the palace examination, and strive to achieve his father's wish and come back with a meritorious name.

Because Zheng An's home is on the edge of the canal, it seems that a water garden has been built, and there is no wall.

The entrance of the manor is a water-leaning corridor about a mile long, Kong Youlong has been here many times, and he is naturally familiar with the road.

It's just that this time I came, but it was a little different from before. In the past, it was full of birds and flowers, and the wind and sun were beautiful, but today it is a little different. They had already walked two miles, and they had just come to the entrance of the water corridor, but they had not heard a single sound along the way, not even the sound of an insect. It's as if there isn't a living creature within a five-mile radius.

It's morning, and the weather is pretty good today, and it's a sunny day with the sun shining in the middle.

But on this sunny day, the closer the three of them got to the Zheng Mansion, the more they felt the heavy yin qi.

Seeing this, Kong Youlong already had an ominous premonition. Isn't this very similar to last night? Fortunately, I listened to Sun Xiaowu's words and waited until the day before I came. If you come at night, even if there are no demons, this dead atmosphere alone can scare people half to death.

Kong Youlong came to the front of the corridor of the Zheng family, and saw that from the entrance of the corridor, it was full of yellow chrysanthemums all the way in, although it looked very beautiful, but it also gave people a tricky atmosphere.

"Master Kong, does Lord Zheng Duo like chrysanthemums?" The fifth line couldn't help but ask.

"He likes plum blossoms, is arrogant and arrogant in the cold, and does not lose his integrity." Kong Youlong replied.

"That's it. It seems that the demon of Jiuju has not left yet! Sun Xiaowu said.

"What does he want to do?" Kong Youlong asked.

"He's waiting for us." The fifth line answers.

"That's right. He originally wanted to kill you, but now that you have sent it to the door yourself, how can he leave? Sun Xiaowu also agrees with the view of the fifth line.

"Shall we go in again?" Kong Youlong was finally a little scared. After all, if there is a slight mistake, the first person to lose his life may be himself.

In the face of death, everyone is equal, and Kong Youlong will also be afraid.

"Go! It's all here, why don't you go? The fifth line answers.

"Isn't it dangerous to go in?" Kong Youlong's heart palpitated.

"In broad daylight, the evil demon is crooked, what are you afraid of him doing?" Sun Xiaowu said.

Without Sun Xiaowu's reminder, Kong Youlong really forgot that it was daylight.

"Master Sun is right. Since he didn't leave, let's just go in and meet him to see what kind of monster he is? The fifth line said, and had already taken the lead towards the corridor.

Sun Xiaowu and Kong Youlong just wanted to follow, but they saw a girl coming out from the entrance of the corridor, it was the girl ring in Zheng's mansion.

"Fifth Young Hero, you are finally here! My son-in-law has been waiting for a long time? "Yahuan walked a thousand blessings.

"Who is your son-in-law?" The fifth line asks rhetorically.

"Huh! The young man is good at laughing, my son-in-law is naturally Zheng Jing Zheng Gongzi! Yahuan replied.

"Your son-in-law doesn't recognize me, how do you know I'll come?" The fifth line asked tentatively.

"Huh! Shaoxia really laughed. You just met last night, how can you say you don't recognize you? Yahuan said, smiling even more weirdly.

Although the fifth line did fight with these demons last night, he really couldn't remember when he had met this Zheng Jing and Zheng Gongzi.

The fifth line didn't think about it so much, anyway, there was nothing reasonable about this matter from beginning to end, so he said politely: "Then ask the girl to lead the way." ”

When the fifth line was talking to the girl, Sun Xiaowu had been looking at the girl carefully. He saw that although the girl was somewhat similar to the walking corpse of the previous night, and her complexion was as white as paper, she was still much better. At least, she still has a snort, and if she has a snort, she is not considered dead.

Sun Xiaowu also wanted to find out what trick the other party was going to play, so he followed behind the fifth line and did not speak.

Kong Youlong saw that the other party was prepared, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he just walked at the end.

"Master Sun, is that Yahuan also a walking corpse?" Kong Youlong approached behind Sun Xiaowu and asked.

"It's not. She's not dead yet, she still has a breath of air. Sun Xiaowu replied.

Kong Youlong still wanted to speak, but at this time, the girl who led the way turned around and smiled strangely at him.

Since Kong Youlong dared to agree to fight against the Japanese with Xiaoyaomen, he was naturally not a timid person. But the girl only looked back and smiled slightly, Kong Youlong immediately felt that his scalp was numb, and his whole body shivered, from the scalp to the soles of his feet.

Kong Youlong shook his head, immediately cheered up, and chased after him again. But when he looked at the girl ring again, the little girl didn't seem to turn back at all, just leading the way seriously.

Originally, there were many white, yellow, orange and red colored goldfish in the lake below this water corridor, and the water was also very clear and could be drunk directly.

There are also many lotus flowers in the river, and water lotus also floats around the promenade, and the whole promenade is a world of fish and flowers, which is simply beautiful.

But now, as the fifth line clearly sees, the lake has become dark and muddy. Although there are still many goldfish playing in it, those goldfish have blue-black spots on them, which makes people feel uncomfortable when they look at it. The water still has some strange smell, and I can't tell what it smells like.

Some have a lime-like taste, but with a hint of barbecue; It smells of corpses, but with some chrysanthemum fragrance. In short, this strange smell is now permeating the entire Zheng Yuan, and people can't avoid it at all.

"What does it smell like?" The fifth line was originally a person who loved cleanliness very much, how could he stand this kind of turbidity.

"The smell of demons and monsters." Sun Xiaowu replied lightly, as if he was not afraid of the girl who led the way to hear it.

The girl really didn't get angry, just smiled and said, "Heh! The garden has not been cleaned for a long time, and it is a little turbid, and the three guests are not strange. ”

"Nothing. We hate the smell, and you do! The fifth line replied coldly.

"Childe really loves to laugh." The girl still smiled politely.

"I never laugh in the next place." The tone of the fifth line is still as cold as frost.
