Chapter 46: Rubbing shoulders
When he learned from Ling Chunni that there was a previous tomb in Gaoling Mountain, Shen Shi thought about it and didn't want to join in the excitement. This kind of treasure house tomb that has been spread out will inevitably attract a large number of monks with luck, if the treasure mentioned in the news is larger, it can even attract monks from other states other than Haizhou to come to explore and hunt for treasures, after all, the road to cultivation is difficult and tortuous, if there is no great opportunity, the vast majority of monks can only look up to the top of the fairyland for the rest of their lives, and finally end up depressed.
Even if the countless realities in this world have already clearly stated that for the vast majority of mortals, it is the right path and the only way to move forward step by step, but whenever there is a treasure house like this in the Hongmeng world, it will still attract the attention of countless monks.
Among them, whether it is a casual cultivator or an ordinary sect disciple, in fact, their minds are almost the same.
Shen Shi is not completely unmoved by this, but his temperament has always been calm and cautious, and he will think about more things, and now Gaoling Mountain will definitely be a scene of monks gathering in the next few days, and his Taoism is still not high, he really wants to go to Gaoling Mountain, not to mention whether the news of where there is a treasure is true or not, even if the news is true, but among the thousands of monks, how can he get the treasure?
Shen Shi didn't believe in this kind of coincidence in his heart, so he finally decided to focus on peace of mind cultivation for now, and didn't want to make any extraneous branches.
It's just that he accidentally met Lao Hou here in Nantianmen, and after hearing the origin of the jar he said, Shen Shi subconsciously thought of the tomb in Gaoling Mountain, maybe there was no really very positive evidence, but Shen Shi's mind was indeed stirred up again at that moment.
Perhaps, in fact, in the bottom of my heart, I am not exempt from vulgarity, or do I still hope to dream of a big pie falling on my head?
When Shen Shi walked out of the South Heavenly Gate, he thought with a little self-deprecation in his heart.
Liuyun City occupies a huge area, lively and prosperous, many families have lived here for generations, and Dongcheng Houjia is one of the most prestigious households. Shen Shi didn't spend much effort, so he inquired about the location of the Hou family's mansion, and walked all the way to Dongcheng, passing through the long street avenue on the way, with dense pedestrians, he was dressed in ordinary clothes, and he looked completely inconspicuous, except for the little black pig who had been following him a little strangely, no one would look at him twice.
In fact, there is no obvious sign interval between several urban areas of Liuyun City, it is just a common name for the general direction, and the Hou family has been operating here for generations, the old house of the family occupies an excellent position in the city, and the area is not small, more than ten zhang away from the door is a lively street, and it is quiet when it comes to the near place, which can be described as a treasure of feng shui in the middle of the noise.
Shen Shi walked to the side of the road called Houmen Road, looked at the Gaomen compound from a distance, pondered for a moment, or continued to walk forward along the flow of people as if nothing happened, others couldn't see anything unusual about him, but intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes were near the Houjia mansion, and at the same time, his footsteps were slowly circling around this mansion.
※※※
In addition to the spacious avenue, there are also many large or small alleys on the side of the road, the big ones are flat and tidy and self-contained, and there are shops in them, but the small ones are dark and deep, they seem to be dirty, and they don't know where they lead.
Shen Shi himself doesn't care about these inconspicuous alleys, at this moment his mind is almost on the Hou family's mansion, since it is related to the Yin and Yang Mantra, this Demon Clan's secret method is the most important thing for him, although there is little hope, but just looking at the miraculous effects of the two articles of the Pure Heart Mantra and the Heavenly Soul Mantra is enough for him to try his best no matter what.
When he walked past an intersection, there was a woman walking in the opposite direction of the crowd at about the same time, walking opposite to him, the two passed by, Shen Shi didn't notice anything unusual, but after the woman took a few steps forward, her body suddenly shook, but she turned around with a little surprise, and glanced at Shen Shi's back.
This woman was actually Ling Chunni.
At this moment, Ling Chunni has already changed her clothes, but unlike yesterday when she and Hou Yuanwang were together, she was cool and seductive, at this moment she does not apply powder, and her clothes are ordinary, although her face is still quite feminine, but her clothes are loose and conservative, which can be regarded as covering her the most lustful style of men, and when she walks silently on this long street, it is not too eye-catching.
The one just now, Shen Shi didn't notice her, and there was also the reason why she almost changed her appearance today, which was really different from yesterday's appearance, but Ling Chunni obviously recognized Shen Shi, at this moment she looked at Shen Shi's back, and soon saw that Shen Shi seemed to be looking at the Hou family mansion intentionally or unintentionally.
After looking at it for a moment, Ling Chunni snorted in his heart, thinking: These stinky men, they are not all the same, yesterday I heard that the Hou family may have a secret passage leading to the tomb, and today I came to the Hou family to fight the idea of the Hou family.
But thinking about it, Ling Chunni didn't have any intention of revealing it, on the contrary, the Hou family was even more annoying in her eyes at the moment, and Hou Yuanwang's death was also a big trouble, she wished that the farther away from that family was now, the better.
As for Shen Shi...... She shrugged her shoulders and turned around a little indifferently, she didn't know how many people she would meet in her life, and it didn't matter if he lived or died, it had nothing to do with herself.
But it seems that when I begged him for mercy yesterday, he made it clear that he was picking at will, but this guy didn't seem to be tempted, which is rare...... With such a thought in his heart, Ling Chunni continued to walk forward in silence and in a slight voice, and after walking for more than ten zhang, he turned into an alley beside the road.
The alley was so narrow and dirty that there was not enough light to reach the alley, even in the middle of the day. On the already narrow road, you can still see sewage from time to time, and there is a strange stench in the air, which is disgusting.
This dirty alley is a world of difference from the bright and lively streets outside, and it can be seen that there is no one here on weekdays, and there is no one on the left and right. But it was in this dim and dirty alley that Ling Chunni looked very familiar with, as if she had walked through this dirty and dark alley countless times.
The darkness gathered behind her, quietly covering her slender figure, and before she knew it, the noisy noise on the noisy street in the distance gradually faded away, Ling Chunni walked to the depths of the alley, where it seemed to be darker and dirtier, but there was a door, there was actually a family, living in such a place.
Ling Chunni didn't hesitate at all, walked to the broken wooden door, stretched out his white palm to support the door, the snow-white skin and the black-brown wooden door formed a sharp contrast between black and white, and then with a squeak, the wooden door opened.
"Godmother, I'm back. ”
Ling Chunni screamed inside, his voice was soft, if Shen Shi was standing here at the moment, he might feel that this woman's words at this moment were a little more warm, and a little less of the excitement and temptation.
"Hey. In the dark room, an old voice sounded, accompanied by several shrill coughs.
Ling Chunni's face changed, and she walked into the room quickly, she was greeted by a deep darkness, she immediately frowned, and then walked to the side familiarly, and took out the flint and candle from somewhere, and lit the room with a snap.
The dim candle flame slowly lit up, illuminating the surroundings, it was a very small room, no more than seven or eight feet in circumference, and a bed was placed by the wall inside, which seemed to take up half of the space, and other than that, the rest of the room was messily stuffed with a lot of tattered things, and looked very embarrassed.
And on the bed at this moment lay an old woman, her head white and sparse, her face was wrinkled, all over her face, from the skin to the thin arms exposed outside the bedding, all the skin was dry like dead branches and leaves, as if she had completely lost her moisture, and the old and inhuman form, in this dim light, was like a dying person, and even a little ghostly.
Ling Chunni didn't seem to feel any fear or fear, grabbed it in his hand and put it on the table, sat on the edge of the bed, gently patted the back of the old woman who was coughing freely, and said softly: "Godmother, didn't I tell you a long time ago, this candle is not worth anything, there is nothing to save." ”
The old woman's chapped lips squirmed and smiled, but the smile looked quite frightening, and said, "It's not interesting to order, the things here are just like that, can I still see what flowers?"
Ling Chunni forced a smile, his lips pursed slightly, and a trace of gloom passed over his face.
The old woman looked at Ling Chunni's delicate and feminine face like a spring flower, was silent for a moment, and slowly stretched out her hand and grabbed one of Ling Chunni's palms. Ling Chunni helped her sit up, leaning on the pillow.
The old woman's withered hands were covered with green tendons and chapped skin, and when they were put together with Ling Chunni's white, soft, white and soft palm, it was like two completely opposite hands, and when her hand gently stroked Ling Chunni's palm, it seemed like a stiff sandpaper passing coldly.
Ling Chunni lowered his head slightly, his teeth clenched slightly, but he didn't say anything.
After a while, the old woman spoke quietly and said softly, "You are beautiful again." ”
Ling Chunni smiled, still letting her hold her white and warm palm, not saying a word, but the old woman clearly felt that Ling Chunni's palm suddenly became a little cold. She looked at Ling Chunni's soft and delicate face, her face was pale, but her voice seemed to be a little desolate, and she said in a low voice: "Alas, I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have given you that half of the Dream Picture in the first place. ”
