The next day, Yan Saburo resigned to Lian Rongsheng.

The old master's house is full of people, and all the powerful people from all walks of life have brought their children to the door - the disciples have all left the school, and even Rongsheng's door has a vacancy. Everyone hurried to bring their children over to try their luck. What if you have an eye and are caught by Mr. Lian?

As before, Lian Rongsheng's head was half a day high, and he basically looked at people through his nostrils. This scene is so familiar, a few years is a cycle.

Yan Saburo remembered the scene when the master and apprentice met for the first time in the past, and couldn't help but smile, but if he looked closely, there were a few more inconspicuous white hairs on Rong Sheng's sideburns.

Time is unforgiving.

When Lian Rongsheng saw him coming, he waved in and said to the others, "Wait here." With that, he stood up and went into the back hall with his hands behind his back.

Except for Yan Saburo, no one dared to follow up.

Lian Rongsheng grabbed the housekeeper and said, "Where are you going to put Yan Xiaosan's things, you go find them." ”

Yan Saburo was the last of the three disciples in this class to enter, ranking third. So even Rong Sheng called him a junior, although the reason was different from Chitose, but the name for him was the same.

The old housekeeper let out a "hey", took out something from his arms and handed it to Yan Saburo: "Here." ”

The young man took it and took a look, but it was a small puppet, less than the length of his index finger, and the miscellaneous cloth was sewn, and the surface was a little gray, and there were even some scratches on the corners. It can be seen that it has been worn on the waist of its owner for a long time.

Yan Saburo's gaze froze:

This puppet is made of ordinary workmanship, just barely has a shape, like a human with limbs and a head, but there is a tail behind it - if it stops there, it will only look like a lizard man, but Yan Saburo saw at a glance that a third eye was sewn out of the door of its head!

Three-Eyed Monster?

The sewing of the puppet seems to be afraid that people will not see clearly, and specially sews a circle of black threads around the vertical eyes, which is capitalized and bold, which is particularly eye-catching.

"Sir, where did this thing come from?"

"A few days ago, a little nobleman brought his son to the door and wanted to worship me as a teacher. Naturally, the talent is very poor, and I don't like it. Lian Rongsheng sneered, "But his companion has this puppet pinned to his waist." ”

When Yan Saburo returned to Chunming City from defending the country, he asked him to find clues to the three-eyed monster. But in the past two years, there has been no eyebrows, and even Rong Sheng himself has been a little embarrassed, and he patted his chest to ensure that he was well informed. Fortunately, before Yan Xiaosan left again, the clues were sent to the door by himself, and he was not too late.

"I had the little companion read to me privately, and for a little money I bought the puppet and its origins. ”

Yan Saburo listened attentively.

"He's from Sanjiao, a small town on the border with Weiyou. One of the local customs is to sew and wear this kind of doll to ward off evil spirits. ”

Yan Saburo looked at the puppet in his hand: "This is used to ward off evil spirits?

"It's the opposite. Lian Rongsheng raised his index finger and shook it, "Legend has it that this place was once disturbed by the Three-Eyed Monster, and the monster came out to eat people at night, often eating until there was not a single live mouth in the village, which can be described as extremely brutal." The locals organized a monster fighting team, but they all went and never returned. Later, for some reason, the monster suddenly disappeared and was never seen again. ”

Yan San was surprised: "Since it is an evil thing, why should it be regarded as an evil beast?"

"After the Three-Eyed Monster disappeared, the beast plague that used to plague Sanjiao Town was gone. Originally, there were hordes of fierce beasts and monsters in that area, and they often attacked humans, and it is said that twenty or thirty people died in a year. But since the Three-Eyed Monster came and went, these beasts rarely came near Sanjiao Town again. ”

Yan Saburo understood: "It is too angry, the residual power is still there, and the tiger and wolf dare not approach." ”

"That's the reason. Even Rong Sheng agreed, "Besides, the more natural disasters and evil diseases are raging, the more people in later generations will be in awe of it, and the Three-Eyed Monster is the same." ”

Creatures have an innate instinct to submit to the strong, and humans are no exception.

"It is said that as time slowly passed, the beasts that had been suppressed by the Three-Eyed Monster came alive again. The local inhabitants began to worship the Three-Eyed Monster as a beast to ward off evil spirits, and soon the beast plague was eliminated again. ”

The boy muttered, "Do you know how long the monster has been near Sanjiao Town?" If the Three-Eyed Monster just passed by and killed a few people, it would be similar to the tiger wolf in the wild, and it would not leave such a deep impression on the townspeople of Sanjiao.

"It is said that it has been two years, but the legend is full of exaggerations and inaccuracies, and it is not entirely accurate. The so-called "legends" have been passed down beyond recognition to the future.

"How long before it happened?"

"Not testable. Lian Rongsheng shook his head, "But at least more than a thousand years ago?"

Yan Saburo immediately thanked him. The Three-Eyed Monster doesn't stay in a certain place for more than a year for no reason, find out the reason, and maybe find a clue to enter the dying realm?

The clues of Shoutong Mountain are also very ethereal, so it is better to start from here.

Lian Rongsheng said again: "Your property in Chunming City, but it has already been completed?"

"It will be sold in the next ten and a half days. Yan Saburo has always been cautious, "Most of the industry is sold, and the rest will not be traced to me." "Most of the properties he has in Chunming City are in cooperation with big families, and he doesn't even have a name, so outsiders don't know that he is involved.

There are not many people who are actually in their own name, and he and Huang He quickly dealt with it.

"I will help you spread the truth about the sea country, so that the world can know it. ”

Yan Saburo was overjoyed and thanked.

Over the years, there have been many opinions surrounding the Hidden Sea Kingdom, and none of them have come close to the truth. Probably no one expected that the truth would be even more hideous than the legend. With Lian Rongsheng's prestige, it must be very convincing for him to uncover this matter with his own hands.

However, even Rong Sheng frowned and said, "However, even if many people know the truth, they still want to make a windfall from you." ”

The truth can't stop greed, this is the world.

Yan Saburo was worried: "You expose this matter, I'm afraid you're going to get into trouble." "If others find out the relationship between Lian Rongsheng and his master and apprentice, I'm afraid they will find clues from Lian Rongsheng.

Lian Rongsheng said calmly: "They can give it a try!" Is he like a persimmon that is easy to pinch?

The young man had only said a few words, and he became impatient: "Okay, okay, let's go, delay me a lot of time." Didn't you see how busy I was?"

Chitose snorted: "Busy receiving gifts, right?" Before the new apprentice could enter the door, the old apprentice was thrown over the wall. This old money fan!

During the day, she is a cat, and this sentence sounds like a cat meow at most, but Lian Rongsheng asked Yan Sanlang: "Are your cats still well raised?"

The boy replied, "Well, it's very well-behaved." He knew that Lian Rongsheng was famous and cultivated, and it was not so easy for others to deal with this old gentleman.
