On the side of the courtyard of Taizhen Mansion, there is a square called Magnolia, which is lined up one after another, and there are various styles of warped cornices scattered and distributed. It is only eleven zhang away from the downtown here, but it is cold on weekdays, and most of the residences are the wives and relatives of the incumbent officials of the government, either rich or expensive, and ordinary people will choose to take a detour on their own when they encounter here.

Of course, most of these gentry and dependents also cherish their feathers, and most of them are extra cautious in their words on weekdays, and they are also few high-profile people, who will make a big show and frequently enter and exit. In addition to coming and going, there is also some quiet and elegant in the middle of the noise.

It's just that today's alley and street have somehow changed from the quiet of the past, and the whole morning was full of traffic, which seemed particularly busy.

In this place, the gathering place of carriages and horses in this square is a single courtyard, the courtyard is not particularly spacious, but there is a step and ten scenes of exquisiteness, winding paths and corridors, light and dark are harmonious, full of all kinds of strange flowers and stones that are very carefully served, especially the three pots of peony in the center of the courtyard, or yellow and white with gold, or purple in the powder, or white jade and delicate, are not idle ordinary products.

Although the flowers are competing, there are few merchants. At this moment, there was a young man in a python robe, walking in a hurry, almost running away, and breaking into the middle room.

This son rushed all the way, and his identity must be honorable, so that the servants on all sides did not dare to stop him, but when he reached the platform, he suddenly stopped his pace, arched his body respectfully, and obviously deliberately slowed down the impatient speed of speech, and called softly: "Grandpa! "Although the voice is not loud, it is very clear, and it is handled just right, and it is very skillful and decent.

As soon as the young man in the python robe called, a short and fat old man with a hat stood up among the flowers, and greeted happily: "Ashin, you are still in such a hurry, it seems that I have to let your unsuccessful father supervise you well another day, and you must practice some self-cultivation." In the words, there is the meaning of the pampering of grandchildren.

As soon as the old man's voice fell, he made a slight move with his hand, and immediately two strong men in black who were accompanying him flashed out of the corner. One of them was quite nimble, and quickly began to clean up the mess, storing and cleaning up the old man's random scattered gardener tools all over the yard; The other person quickly brought over a basin of clear and clean water, carefully helped the old man, and slowly removed the suede sleeve he was wearing on his hand.

The young man was still standing in place, not daring to move at all, hearing the old man's words, his back was already cold, cold sweat was pouring out, and he hurriedly bowed his head and begged for mercy: "Grandpa, don't, please." ”

Seeing the embarrassment of his children and grandchildren, the fat old man was happy, and immediately glanced at his grandson again, and said with a smile: "Look at what scares you, your old man doesn't eat people." ”

How dare this son-in-law, who is called Ah Xin, take care of the stubble again, and immediately became serious, and continued to tell the truth: "Grandpa, what happened in the Lin family's house has been blocked, and the house slaves are very strict, only to find out that Lin Jian has not been out of the house for a long time, and now all the affairs of the family are taken care of by his daughter and son-in-law. ”

There was a strange thing in the Lin family's house in Shangyuan Town, the head of the family, Lin Jian, suddenly fell ill a few days after his daughter's wedding banquet and had been sick for many days. This matter is so abnormal, of course, the Song and Shanjia families are the most concerned, especially the old son of the Song family, and they have sent many family secret agents to find out the details.

"Do you still need to inquire about this?" The old man was interrupted from his farm work, walked out of the garden in a daze, picked up the tea handed by the servant, drank it all, and then said mockingly, "Lin Xiao'er is a chicken thief, and I don't believe in bullshit at all." In recent years, he has been focusing on cultivating the third generation of heirs in the family, and now it seems that there is still a lot of gap between himself and the second generation, sad and lamentable, who can think that the old Lin family, which is not prosperous, three generations of children can be in charge, and these stinky boys in their own family only know how to fight cocks and birds!

"Grandpa, don't worry, and listen to me." The boy immediately bowed down, his body was even more rickety, obviously a little frightened by the old man's angry sneer, "I have found out a definite news, the son-in-law of the Lin family, Ming Feifei, is trying to make a deal with the boss behind Mingyue Tower." ”

"Trade what?" Obviously, the news of the grandson is enough for the old man to pay attention.

The young man in the python robe hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to explain honestly: "I don't know yet, my old friend of Mingyue Building also inadvertently listened to a few words. ”

"That's it, you've done a good job, go rest." The little old man Wen Xu sent off his little grandson, his face immediately turned cold, and he muttered to himself, "Lin Jian, what are you planning?" ”

——————————

This is a small cave, the rock wall is slippery, winding upwards, and it comes out in the shape of a gourd. Further on, there is a faint and visible light, which reflects yellow-white shadow lines, so that people can roughly see the sinuous distribution of the cave here.

"Ahem! Cough! Cough! At the critical moment just now, Shi Liang was in danger and danger, and at the last moment, he was dragged out of the waterway by Keyshan, and escaped the pull of the whirlpool in time.

However, although he was temporarily out of danger, he had been tossed enough to fall to his knees in embarrassment, curled up, and coughed loudly against his chest. Obviously, he was choked by the bitter water that he had just caught off guard, and it was difficult to maintain the vigilance that he should still have at this time.

And at the same time, Keyzen had already completed his transformation again, and he had re-made into the appearance of a petite stuffed beast, standing beside him.

It's just that the little thing in front of Shi Liang at this moment is blowing up at every hair, and there is incomparable nervousness in his expression, obviously not at all relaxed, his eyes are staring at the pool that was still full of blue waves a moment ago, wary of its strange shock waves at this time.

Who would have thought that just a few breaths ago, there was still an underground tunnel full of colorful pure water, but only in a few breaths, suddenly the treacherous tide receded, and there was no drop of water at all, leaving only the slightly boring rock wall potholes that have now completely dried up, which are still blowing and whirring by the hurricane that is still frantically sucking deep underground.

Immediately afterwards, the wind suddenly stopped, and the flowing water poured like a surging wave, as if it was forcibly squeezed into the already vacant pit from the other end by an inexplicable huge force, and then, the end of the waterway suddenly exploded and ascended to the sky, roaring straight up, and struck a terrifying and monstrous water curtain crystal wall.

The storm was like a rushing tiger, flapping with an amazing force that could devour everything, and it seemed that Shi Liang was about to be dragged into the ditch again, but it was the key that had bounced up, turned into a metal barrier, and lay in front of the man.

Boom! The water splashed everywhere, and a long thin rope of red color swept around, but it happened to be cut off by the metal barrier that could be formed, and then, at once, it was absorbed by the hurricane that had already risen from the cave.

Boom! Red Rope was obviously unwilling to give up the attack, and before waiting for a moment, he once again forced the raging water of the pond to rampage. Fortunately, Shi Liang had already recovered from choking water at this time, jumped up from the ground, and retreated sharply in a few steps, carefully retreating a lot to the dark cave on the side in front of him, and quickly opened a short distance from the mouth of the agitating waterway.

"Little goodness!" The man stood still, looked back and shouted softly, only to see that the metal curtain wall composed by Keyshan began to collapse rapidly in the instantaneous changes, and then made a streamer, which was about to meet Shi Liang again. At the same time, a third wave has also been formed, rushing forward.

Of course, the man will not sit still, one hand stretched out, and turned into a fist in the direction where the key ball flew from, and he was about to catch the key good round ball that bounced towards him, but he grasped the Yingying streamer, and let the key energy that was dissolved and unraveled, it was instantly deformed like a tide, and a cold mang's sharp blade that was tightly attached to the arm grew.

Shi Liang has been in the army for many years, and he is already the best at martial arts, and now the key energy in his body is from the same source as the key goodness, so he naturally has the same heart and mind, and the cooperation is more tacit. I saw that his long sword was in hand, and he turned around and quickly dodged, but he could escape the long rope that shot like a swift arrow, and made another flash, accurately cutting off the red rope that had stretched to the end, stretched straight, but it was still the tail of the red rope that had time to retreat.

"Huh!" Of course, the living creature couldn't avoid it, although it was extremely fast, it was still cut off by Shi Liang's blade, and a small section was cut off between the scarlet heads, scattered on the ground, like a broken snake tail, with a blue liquid spilling out, weirdly twisting and turning.

The red rope was decapitated, but it was not completely out of control and died, but under such pain, it retreated like lightning in an instant, and disappeared completely after hiding in the tumbling tide of the pool.

"Whew!" It was an extremely sharp roar, piercing through the hollow crypt and gushing out wildly, followed by a period of earth-shaking shaking that could shake the sky!

At the end of the waterway at this moment, it was as if there was a terrifying and majestic beast, frightened by the pain, and there it roared wildly, violently pounding against the rock barrier that stood in the way of its vengeance.

The earth-shaking shook so much that Shi Liang knelt on one knee, and he was a little unsteady on his feet. The man didn't care about anything else, and backhanded the knife up, side-to-side against his chest, carefully guarding against the next attack that could come back at any time.

However, the shocks and waves of water stirred up, but soon only the silence remained. Yes, soon there was no further sound.

Time passed, the pool trickled, and everything seemed to return to the way Shi Liang first saw on the other side of the waterway, as smooth as a mirror lake. The long-awaited attack did not come, Shi Liang naturally did not sit still in place, he had already been cautious, slowly widening the distance from the pool of water little by little.

It wasn't until he was completely sure that he would not be completely unable to dodge because of an unknown sneak attack, and the man finally let out a deep breath and slowly let down his guard.

Keyshan and Shi Liang already have the same mind, naturally they also found Shi Liang's relaxation at the first time, the child's heart of it, it was originally agitated by the huge coercion, and immediately rolled into a delicate ball, the diameter of which slipped to the section that was completely stiff, and lay on the ground with a little whitish red rope head.

With a slight sweep, the key ball jumped again, turned into a small beast and jumped back quickly, climbed up Shi Liang's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Dad, that thing is like a tongue." Xiao Shan's voice sounded in the man's ears, which couldn't help but make Shi Liang even more shocked, and he didn't know what kind of terrifying life existence it was, and he could actually have such a terrifying and flexible weird slender tongue.

But just as he was about to speak, his ears suddenly moved slightly, and the man's eyes were immediately attracted by the strange sound on the edge of the corner. "Who!" Shi Liang frowned, and shouted violently, and the key was immediately made into a long blade, and it was about to shoot out.

"Heroes spare their lives!" Behind the rocky mud pile, a short figure rolled out, who was not the obscene old man surnamed Hua.
