34. Bloodline
In the twilight, the wind danced like a snake, and the dead leaves covered the sky like rain.
The gray-clothed young man led a miscellaneous black horse and had slowly walked to the end of the road.
At the end is a stone door, which is not luxurious, nor magnificent, and there is not even an iron ring to buckle the door, let alone objects such as stone lions as a town house.
But the word "Tang Gate" on the hanging plaque is enough to make all the ordinary become extraordinary, and all the arrogant looks become humble.
The young man raised his eyes, his expression did not change in the slightest, it seemed that this was the Tang Gate, the Zhao Gate, or the Qian Gate... It doesn't matter, the important thing is that his task is completed.
And the last light of the day illuminated his face.
It was a gray-clothed young man with a delicate face, who seemed to be just an ordinary disciple of a family who had gone out to practice.
The calm curvature of the corners of his mouth gives people a sense of confidence, and his eyes are a little gloomy, as if there are a lot of secrets, giving people a melancholy and mysterious taste.
Dead leaves crawled on the stone streets, and they had already piled up in front of this door, and it was obvious that few people were cleaning them.
The young man knocked lightly on the door and raised his voice: "Xia Ren, a disciple of the Xia family in Red Leaf City, is visiting!"
At this time, the last ray of light in the sky also disappeared, and the door had not yet opened, nor responded, as if there was no one behind the door.
The boy was not in a hurry, and waited gently and patiently.
After a long time, a random voice came from the courtyard: "It's dark, come back tomorrow!"
Xia Ren narrowed his eyes, and the next moment, his palm was directly attached to the door, and he spoke again: "Xia Ren, a disciple of the Xia family in Red Leaf City, is visiting!"
He waited silently, and began to count to ten in his mind.
If it was still the same reply, or silent, then he didn't mind letting the stone door in front of him break through a big hole, even though the door looked heavy, but so what?
Just as he counted to five, a voice finally came from the courtyard, and it was the same person from before: "Don't you understand?
Hey...
The corners of Xia Ren's mouth pulled up a trace of arc, and the pure internal force of hundreds of years rose to the palm of his hand.
He had already thought about his next actions: break the door, find the people from the Tang Gate, hand over the black-veined box, and leave.
A trace of heat emanated from his palm, and when he was about to spit out, a girl's voice suddenly sounded behind the door: "Open the door!"
"Miss Six, today is not your Tiangong Building's person on duty. There was a smile in that lazy voice, and there was no fear.
"Tang Su, the second sister hasn't contacted this family for fifteen years! Today she sent someone, so even if it's the third watch in the middle of the night, I will invite him in. ”
"Oh, little judge Tang Jing, how majestic... It's a pity that she has married into the Xia family, is it still our Tang family?"
"Tang Su, you!"
"How am I, Miss Six?"
"I'm going to open this door today!"
"You can try. The lazy voice suddenly had a hint of murder.
Whew...
Suddenly, there was a harsh and strong friction on the ground at the door.
Two boulder doors controlled by traps make the sound of opening on both sides.
"Don't try, I'm already in. The gate of the thousand-pound boulder was pushed open casually, revealing the delicate face of the gray-clothed young man, and he showed a friendly smile when he saw the two of them look dumbfounded with their mouths wide open.
"This door is a bit heavy. As he spoke, he casually pushed the stone door to the end.
However, judging by his relaxed expression, this sentence is more like a comforting person.
The gate of the Tang Gate is completely open!
Directly opposite the gate is a garden-style pavilion that connects to a winding and bottomless cloister that leads to a foggy, dimly lit distance, like a python hiding its head.
The sound of the strange mechanism turning was extremely subtle, and it vibrated imperceptibly in the darkness.
At this time, the young man sitting in the pavilion was dressed in green clothes, his face was smooth, and some coldness flashed in his pupils from time to time. He is the youngest son of the owner of the Diyan Building, one of the third floors of the Tang Gate: Tang Su.
And the other woman in the purple skirt who was arguing with him was the youngest daughter of the owner of the Tiangong Building, one of the third floors of the Tang Gate: Tang Jueyin.
In recent days, these two people have been punished for violating the regulations of the Tang Sect. And this punishment is to guard the gate, and the two take turns to replace them, and it will only end after three months of meditation and reflection.
Tang Su obviously hadn't come out of the shock yet, and at this time, he was explaining himself, frowning, "Something is wrong with the organ?"
Although Tang Jueyin was also shocked, he still walked out with a smile and said, "Come in, what did the second sister ask you to come over?"
At this time, Tang Su also reacted, and snorted coldly: "You dare to trespass on the Tang Gate!" With that, his fingers touched his waist.
The sharkskin strap compartment there is full of cow hair needles.
However, he seemed to sense something, and suddenly stopped moving, and his body fell into a state that seemed to be stiff and motionless, but it could be touched.
He didn't dare to move, because Tang Jueyin's ring was facing him.
It was a golden-yellow ring, made of metal interspersed with glittering grains, in the shape of a sunflower with open petals.
However, if you look closely, you can see that each flower seed is actually a steel needle.
Tang Speed knew that she only needed to pull the mechanism, and these dozens of steel needles would burst out in an instant.
Although he could also use the pavilion pillar to dodge, however, he didn't dare to bet.
Tang Jueyin said coldly: "We can try, who is faster!"
The atmosphere of the confrontation between the two was a bit heavy, and it seemed that they were in a stalemate.
However, this atmosphere did not affect Xia Ren in the slightest, and in this time, he had already led the horse to the bottom of an ancient tree in the courtyard, and then took out the black-streaked dumb box from his arms.
Anyway, the task only said that the box could be handed over to the Tang Sect, and there was no stipulation that it needed to be handed over to a specific person.
So, he looked at the bluestone circle under the ancient tree, slowly put down the black-veined box, and said lightly: "The thing has been delivered, and my task has been completed, so I will leave." ”
Saying that, he turned around and left, this kind of child-like quarrel was too boring.
It's not enough to kill people, what's there to try?
Seeing that Xia Ren had already turned around, the two of them also put away their postures separately and dispelled the idea of making a move.
Turning to look at the black-veined box, after a short silence for a second or two, Tang Jueyin suddenly said, "You can't go!"
This time, Tang Su did not stop it.
But Xia Ren just snorted lightly and ignored it. Mission accomplished, call it a day early!
A strange look flashed in Tang Jueyin's eyes, and he used the Tang Sect's light feather body technique, and rushed to the door of the thousand-pound boulder with a wave of ups and downs, curiously looking at the gray-clothed handsome young man who was about to leave, and said slowly: "Do you know what is at this time?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Xia Ren said casually.
Tang Jueyin was stunned, but he didn't sell it anymore, and said straight to the point: "This is a box dedicated to holding blood droplets, and the black lines on the seal are secret words." The code word on the left side of the front of the box says: The blood drops come from the person who sent it, and the code word on the right side says: He could be my child. ”
"There is only one person in the Xia family in Red Leaf City who can use such a code language to send such a box and say such a thing. ”
"This person is my second sister, "Little Judge" Tang Jing. ”
Tang Jueyin was wearing a purple silk skirt and a pair of deerskin boots on his feet, perhaps because of the long-term practice of hidden weapons, his eyes were very bright, and at this time, he stared at the young man in front of him, revealing a smirk that seemed to be dreaming: "In other words, you may want to call me aunt." ”
