Tang Zhou recalled what happened. From the moment he entered the cemetery, he kept thinking about what he saw and heard in the cold well water last night. The more he thought about it, the more he felt wrong. The coffin of the former empress is located in the stone chamber, and there is another passage behind it. The common tomb is usually the tomb at the end. Moreover, in the secret path behind, there are broken dragon stones cast with profound iron, and the decoration of the stone chamber at the end of the secret path is too elegant and incompatible with the cemetery itself.
After he and Yan Dan were trapped by the Broken Dragon Stone, it was Shen Xiangjun who came to find them. If she understands the language of birds and she is slanderous, then she is very familiar with this cemetery. But who is Tao Ziqi? Is she really a snake-hearted woman as Shen Xiangjun said?
Last night, he already knew that the words Mr. Shen said to him before were not clean and untrue, so can he believe what Shen Yijun said? The two of them agree on the not-so-critical issues, but they are totally different when they encounter the most important part. One of them must have told a lie, or both of them have said a lie. Then, what is the key to this?
The truth has gradually become clear, and only a little clue can be revealed.
But what is the thread that leads to the truth?
He was thinking slowly, when he heard a few knocks from outside the door, he said casually: "Please come in." Hearing only a silver bell-like laughter, Shen Xiangjun rushed in with a hand. Holding a plate with a few bright red apples in it: "These apples are so good-looking. When I saw them, I couldn't help but bite them, but my sister scolded them. She said they were unclean." Put the apple on the table and said with a smile: "Now I have washed it before sending it to you. It's not dirty."
Tang Zhou looked at the plate of apples and shook his head: "I don't want to eat yet, wait a while."
Shen Xiangjun flattened his mouth: "Okay."
Tang Zhou suddenly asked: "Where did my junior sister go, why haven't they come back?"
Shen Xiangjun was stunned: "I haven't seen her. I'll ask my sister if she has seen her."
Tang Zhou thought that she would not be able to get out of Shen's house, let alone any accidents, so he said: "You don't have to ask specifically. Junior sister has always been naughty, and I don't know where to go to play."
Shen Xiangjun leaned on the table, staring at him without blinking: "I and the bird often play hide and seek, what do you guys play?"
Tang Zhou thought for a while and said, "Catch monsters." He caught Yan Dan casually.
Shen Xiangjun asked again: "What happens after the catch?"
"...When the monster escapes, catch it back again." This sentence is completely truthful, "Because there is a kind of monster that is very clever, so you have to speak with you."
Shen Xiangjun was completely confused and said at a loss: "Really..."
Tang Zhou didn't know what he thought of, and he suddenly smiled: "Occasionally, I will encounter the kind of demon who understands the world and knows how to deal with the world. They are doglegs and act like coquettish. When they speak, they will only pick what is nice and irrelevant.
Shen Xiangjun looked at him and couldn't help saying: "I don't think you're talking about monsters, but rather like...I can't tell what it looks like, anyway, monsters are definitely not so interesting."
Tang Zhou was slightly startled, suddenly felt that the things in front of him seemed to start to shake. He stood up on his own support, but his body was weak, he staggered back a few steps and fell on the edge of the bed. Seeing him like this, Shen Xiangjun suddenly jumped up and ran out of the guest room, yelling: "Sister, sister, come soon, someone is sick here! Come and see!"
Tang Zhou bent his knees, but found that he quickly lost the strength to move his fingers. He condensed his mind, gathered his last few strengths, and bit on the tip of his tongue, and a faint smell of blood overflowed at the corner of his mouth.
Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the door, Shen Xiangjun turned back and reached out to help him: "Where do you hurt? Does it matter? My sister doesn't know where to go, I'm going to find her again!"
Tang Zhou smiled bitterly: "Why did you look for her?" He couldn't move because he was drugged, but he couldn't figure out how he was poisoned. He watched Shen Xiangjun's upside-down behavior and could only sigh softly. She probably didn't know anything and couldn't do anything.
Shen Xiangjun took his hand and tried his best to pull him up, but Tang Zhou was weak. She couldn't pull it with her strength. She could only stomped his feet in a hurry, and said after a while: "I Go find sister again!"
After a short while, a slender figure appeared at the door of the room, Shen Yijun's face was gloomy, and the models approached, slowly approaching until they were in front of him, and smiled weirdly: "Sure enough, it is the purest soul..."
Although Tang Zhou couldn't move, his heart was as clear as water: "It turned out to be you." He fell into a deep well last night, and now he can't move. I think it was Shen Yijun's hands and feet in the tea. She designed it to let him hear and see what Master Shen did, but it was also a blinding method that made him fall into confusion.
Shen Yijun looked at him and nodded: "I know you will come and watch it, and I know you will see Daddy burying people there. You didn't believe him in the first place. After seeing this, you will only believe what I said. Isn't it?" She looked at Tang Zhou with eagerness: "Your soul is so pure, I really like it too much, I didn't want to treat you like this."
Tang Zhou watched her stretch out his hand and slowly slide his fingers on his face. From such a close distance, one could clearly see a mole on the corner of her mouth. Just listen to Shen Yijun opening her mouth softly: "Master Tang, you have such a good face, as long as you see a woman, you will love it, and I don't want you to become that shriveled and wrinkled look, but this is impossible. ..."
Tang Zhou smiled: "Why do you have to be arrogant."
Shen Yijun stared at him with a smile like spring blossoms on her face: "Do you like Xiangjun, or do you like me more?"
Tang Zhou was too lazy to pay attention to her and closed his eyes.
Suddenly heard a soft, smiling voice approaching: "He naturally likes you more, believe it or not?"
Tang Zhou opened his eyes and saw Shen Yijun's face pale and trembling slightly, and said loudly: "Who are you? Are you a human or a ghost?" She stood up flustered and looked around, but she didn't see any figures. A wet hand touched her neck, and the voice just said with a chuckle: "I am a ghost, a drowned water ghost..."
Shen Yijun wiped a handful of her neck, and saw a piece of slippery moss on her hand, and she suddenly seemed to be drawn with a whip: "You come out! Don't think that I will be afraid of you if you become a ghost!"
Tang Zhou heard that Yan Dan was talking, but Shen Yijun's reaction was too strange.
"I know you won't be afraid of me, and I don't want you to be afraid of me. If you are afraid of me, it won't be fun." Shen Yijun turned twice, and didn't see Yan Dan's shadow, but the other party seemed to be sticking to himself Speaking in the ear is average. There was bloodshot in her eyes, and she said loudly: "You come out for me, don't pretend to be a god!"
I only heard a faint sigh: "I am not a human being. What should I do if I don’t pretend to be a ghost? I should see you. After all, you made me like this. But my appearance is really ugly now. When people see it, I will feel uncomfortable."
Tang Zhou vaguely heard some ways. Shen Yijun must have done something to Yan Dan before, but she didn't know that Yan Dan was not a mortal but a demon.
Shen Yijun reluctantly smiled and said: "I was not afraid when you were alive, let alone after you died?" She just felt that a cold hand behind her touched her face with wet and greasy moss. . She turned around abruptly, and saw Yan Dan standing there, dressed in white, with water dripping from the tip of her hair, and her face was pale as against the thin white face, and her hair was as black as ink. Yan Dan's eyes were dizzy, and he said, "I'm out... I'm standing in front of you..."
Shen Yijun watched her slowly stretch out her hand again, suddenly screamed, and ran away from her quickly, and didn't notice when she reached the threshold and stumbled to the ground. Shen Yijun glanced back, and was even more fascinated: Yan Dan's movements were stiff, and he jumped over, like a corpse. She was so frightened that she didn't think that the corpse could become a corpse within an hour or two, and she gritted her teeth and moved out desperately.
Yan Dan watched her back disappear, raised her hand to pull her long hair, and turned her head to look at Tang Zhou: "Brother, don't come here all right?"
Tang Zhou watched her slowly walk closer, and then Shi Shiran squatted in front of him, with a three-pointed, playful, seven-pointed smile at the corner of her mouth, and slowly uttered a few words.
"I searched all over the Shen family before I found this white coat, which doesn't fit so well."
Tang Zhou glanced at her, speechless.
Yan Dan supported his chin and smiled softly: "Guess, from whom did I find this dress?" She asked, seeing Tang Zhou turning his face and ignoring her, suddenly raised her hand to pinch him. Face, slowly facing himself, pouting: "Brother, why are you ignoring people?"
Tang Zhou's face was calm, but his ears slowly turned red: "You--"
Yan Dan smiled sweetly, with bright eyes and white teeth: "Tang Zhou, you treated me like this before, now God has eyes, and finally let you fall into my hands." She leaned closer and said with a smile: "But before the settlement , What else you haven’t figured out, I can tell you too."
Tang Zhou was silent for a while, and said lightly: "When did you start to suspect Shen Yijun?"
Yan Dan sighed: "Why don't you ask the second girl Shen? Originally, there is only one Shen girl in the Shen family, and there are no compatriots at all. Have you not found out yet?" She reached out and nodded, "Miss Shen There is a mole on the corner of her mouth, have you noticed? And the second girl Shen also has such a mole on the corner of her mouth. Even if she looks alike, there are still some differences. But the mole on the corner of their mouth does not matter. The location and size are exactly the same. Even if you take a step back, do you really believe that Miss Shen is stupid? I see that she is very shrewd and knows how to mix things with bird language."
Shicai Shen Yijun got close. He did see the mole on the corner of her mouth, but he would never look at it. Yan Dan smiled slightly: "Do you still remember what I said to you, I can understand Yu'er. I have said this truth so many times, every time it is sincere, but you don't believe it. "
Tang Zhou couldn't help but said, she said this sentence, as long as it is not lost or lost, she will not write it.
"In the lotus pond in the courtyard, although the fish inside don't know much, they told me a very important thing. In this Shen family, Master Shen and Miss Shen are not fathers and daughters at all." Yan Dan's eyes waved. Turning around, slowly said, "I saw them arguing in Hua Ting before, and I felt strange that they did not look like a father and a daughter. From this, I guessed that they must have a plot to move to Qingshi Town. , Must have something to do with the bizarre deaths of the people in this town. They slandered each other there. It can be seen that the two people must have a rift and want to get rid of each other by your hand. Unfortunately, you did not fully believe in what they said. . And your soul happens to be very pure, and the taste is good, so Miss Shen first started."
"After that, Miss Shen took you to the abandoned well in the backyard. Suddenly, I had a guess that the two Miss Shen might be alone. I went to confirm it and found the mole. But I still don’t quite understand. What you see in the well, you think it is an illusion, but I think there should be other reasons. Later, I learned that Miss Shen had practiced a kind of panic art, and after she met her, she would control her mind. She used this method to stun me, and let Sister Hu throw me into the waste well." Yan Dan raised her wrist, the heavy bracelet on her wrist was gone, "She didn't know she was there. Unintentionally helped me a lot. I told her that this prohibition was given to me to ward off evil spirits, and you can feel it if something happens to me. As a result, she helped me to remove the bracelet and threw it away She is really good to deceive, and even believes such things."
Tang Zhou whispered: "In this way, the things she said about understanding bird language before are not true."
"Ms. Shen is actually very stupid. She can't talk to any birds. She just likes to bring a parrot. I have a friend from the feather tribe. She can imitate any sound. She once told me that the parrot is the best in the world. A bird that can’t speak. So I knew from the beginning that everything she was talking about was nonsense, so I guessed that since she was so familiar with the mechanism in the tomb tunnel, she was the one who put down the dragon stone in the secret tunnel before. "Yan Dan said to a halt, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped Tang Yiji Ji on the face, not too hard, "Although I am a demon, have I harmed you? Or do I owe you something? How did you treat me? A bully with a big brain, you almost killed my companion!"
Tang Zhou looked at her without frowning.
Yan Dan stood up slowly: "You owe me a life now, how do you want to pay it back? But someone like you who likes to avenge grievances might want my life instead, right?"
Tang Zhou said without hesitation: "I haven't thought about it like this."
She walked to the door of the room and looked back: "That girl Shen has been scared away by me, and the medicinal properties of your body will be gone soon. Brother, we will be indefinite."
Seeing her stepping out of the threshold, Tang Zhou suddenly said, "I don't have the strength to fight back now. No matter who the Shen family returns, am I not lucky enough?"
Yan Dan sighed, turned around and said, "That's why I have to leave at this time. When you have the power to fight back, even if my ability doubles, I still want to be caught by you?" She said Here, my eyes are a little more vigilant: "Aren't you trying to delay time and wait for the drug to pass? I still have a lot to do, I don't have time to spend time with you."
She just turned around and took a step, and suddenly heard Tang Zhou slowly call out from behind: "Yan Dan..."
Yan Dan immediately turned around, paying attention to his every move, with a pleasing smile on his face: "Brother, there are soft tendons in the tea you drank before. The medicinal properties have a period of time. It is very common for me to be weak. Anyway, I You must take a step first, brother, you don't have to worry about me."
Tang Zhou looked at her and asked slowly: "Where did you stay? Maybe one day I can still see you."
"...I'd better visit you for me." If Tang Zhou arrives at the Shulan Mountain Realm, he will only scare away a house of demons. Perhaps the little wolf demon Dan Shu, who is most afraid of ghosts, will change to fear the heavenly master. Young and orderly, one day for the senior brother and the whole life, how can I let the senior brother run around?"
"Tang Mansion, Xiangdu, if you arrive at Xiangdu, just ask someone to find out."
Yan Dan touched the erected cold hair, thinking that she hadn't heard anything just now, and now she should hurry up and change into thicker clothes. She just walked away a few steps, and suddenly felt the sound of the wind behind her. She turned her head subconsciously and looked at her. There was a sudden cold on her forehead and her body could no longer move. Then she tightened her wrist, and a piece of talisman paper was stuck upright on it. , Turned into a heavy bracelet in Huaguang.
Tang Zhou retracted the finger on her forehead and said with a smile: "This time it's only a bit close. I'll do it next time."
