Dragon Pattern Roll Set

In the morning, Gongsun found that after turning around twice, the fourth son disappeared again.So he and Zhao Pu searched layer by layer.

The scale of the magic palace is huge, with a total of nearly 30 courtyards, extending from the mountainside of the magic mountain to the top of the mountain, with nearly [-] floors.Therefore, Gongsun and Zhao Pu had no choice but to look for it layer by layer. Finally, in a courtyard on the third floor of No.[-], they found Xiaosi who was playing ten-step chess with two old devils and eating sesame cakes. son.

Xiao Liangzi is also there, who knows what those two old devils have taught him, and is practicing kung fu on the sidelines.

Gongsun was so tired that he couldn't breathe, the fourth son sat on the table and gnawed a mouthful of black sesame seeds. The two little old men had white notes all over their foreheads. They probably lost badly.It's no wonder that you need to use dice to play ten moves of chess. Except for the late Silver Demon King, no one in this world can beat the little four at dice.

The fourth son was playing when he saw an old man poking his back. When the fourth son turned his head, he saw Gongsun who was so tired that he couldn't stand upright, and Zhao Pu who was looking at Gongsun rubbing his waist with his arms folded.

Gongsun narrowed his eyes, originally wanted to say a few words to him, and ran away without saying a word, but the fourth son raised his chubby arms and waved at him, sending him a big smiling face along the way. teeth, the sound is honey-like, "Daddy~jiujiu~"

Gongsun and Zhao Pu subconsciously said "Oh!", why are they angry?Can not remember!

Gongsun walked to the table, said hello to the two elders, then hugged the fourth son and asked, "It's time to eat, why did you come here?"

The fourth son said, "I just looked for Mao Mao and Bai Bai, but I couldn't find them, and then..."

"Why are you looking for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang?" Zhao Pu was curious.

"Yesterday Maomao said to take me and Xiaoliangzi to visit the cave in the back mountain." The fourth son was quite dissatisfied, "Xiaoliangzi and I woke up early today, but Maomao and Xiaoliangzi disappeared in vain!"

Gongsun picked up the fourth son, and while helping him pat the black sesame seeds on his clothes, he asked, "Missing?"

"Speaking of..." The two old monsters also touched their chins, "I didn't see Zhao Zhao and Yutang boy early this morning."

Everyone was chatting, and saw a person wandering in, it was Grandma Jiutou.

"Oh, Mr. Gongsun, you are here." Grandma Nine Heads seemed to be looking for Gongsun.

Both Gongsun and Zhao Pu looked at the old lady.

Grandma Nine Heads was mysterious, pulling Gongsun aside as if to whisper, Zhao Pu went to listen gossipingly, and the fourth son also leaned over to listen.

"I have something, I want my husband to help me." Nine-headed grandma said.

Gongsun naturally agreed, "If you have anything to do, just ask the old man."

"But I have to go into the mountains." The old lady pointed to the distant forest.

Gongsun also nodded, "No problem."

"That's good." Grandma Jiutou led Gongsun out, Zhao Pu blinked and followed, and so did the fourth son.

However, Grandma Jiutou waved her hand to the fourth son, "Your fourth son, don't go into the mountains, just keep playing with them!"

The fourth son saw Nine-headed Grandma winking at him quietly... So, the fourth son turned his face and went back, grabbed Xiao Liangzi who was about to go with him, and continued playing chess with the old monsters.

Both Gongsun and Zhao Pu were curious about what happened to Grandma Jiutou, and they didn't care that the fourth son compromised so easily.

So Gongsun and Zhao Pu followed the old lady into the forest.

Nine-headed grandma performed lightness kung fu, Zhao Pu hugged Gongsun and followed... It was also because of the sudden incident, so Zhao Pu didn't bring the shadow guards with him, and came out after thinking about going in.

The three of them shuttled quickly through the woods, and after about half an hour, Grandma Jiutou stopped.

Zhao Pu and Gongsun found that at this time, they were beside a ruin.

Zhao Pu frowned and looked around, and saw that there seemed to be a decent courtyard in the deep mountains and old forests, but it collapsed and was burned down.

Gongsun asked Grandma Nine Heads a little puzzled, "What's wrong with this ruin?"

"The problem is inside." Grandma Jiutou led Gongsun and Zhao Pu to the ruins, and pointed to a stone tablet for them to see.

Zhao Pu took a look at the burnt house, and it didn't look like a simple house, because there were few wooden structures, and all of them were piled up of large stones.

Zhao Pu touched the texture of the stone with his hand, and frowned slightly, "This is not built recently, it looks like a historic site."

Gongsun found a stone tablet lying horizontally in the ruins. On the stone tablet, there were strange characters.

Zhao Pu asked Gongsun, "What is this?"

Gongsun touched his chin and pondered carefully, "It feels like an ancient character, but it seems to be a little different. I can probably understand a little bit, and I have to guess a little bit... um."

As he spoke, Gongsun suddenly raised his face and remembered, then touched his sleeves and took out a torn scroll from the sleeve pocket.

Zhao Pu knelt down to look, and asked, "What is this?"

"Didn't the dragon pattern scroll be bitten by a mouse that day?" Gongsun said, "I flipped through it, and there was an interesting case, only half of it. The first page was about a scholar who disappeared suddenly. I can't find it. The next page is half a piece of weird handwriting." Gongsun said, "That boy Pang Yu just opened it up for me to see, and I said it looks familiar... It turns out that the person who recorded the ancient characters wrote it backwards!"

Gongsun said, comparing that page with the words on the stone tablet, "Look!"

Zhao Pu compared them and was surprised, "Really! They seem to be the same."

"There are words..." Gongsun said, and wanted to ask the nine-headed grandmother beside him, "Old man, what is this place..."

It's just that when Gongsun turned around, he was stunned - because the nine-headed grandma who was standing next to them just now was gone!

Gongsun was surprised, "Huh? Where's the person?"

Zhao Pu was looking at the stele, and when he raised his head, he also found that the old lady had disappeared.

Gongsun turned around in a circle, then looked at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu stood up and looked around, then turned to Gongsun and shook his head.

Gongsun ran to his side, "Didn't you see her go?" Zhao Pu spread his hands, showing that he didn't notice at all, this old lady is older than Yin Hou, and her lightness kung fu is unimaginably good!

"Are you in danger or lost your way..." Gongsun worried.

Zhao Pu looked at him amusedly, "I said you are still in the mood to worry about her getting lost? Without her, we would really be lost!"

Gongsun was startled, "Then what should we do?"

Zhao Pu thought for a while, "I seem to remember that the way back is in this direction..." As he spoke, he pointed.

Gongsun pointed in another direction suspiciously, "How do I remember that I came in from that direction?"

Zhao Pu crossed his arms and looked left and right, as if he was not sure.

"Why don't you split up?" Gongsun wanted to leave after asking, but Zhao Pu grabbed him, "Are you really brave? You stay by my side and don't go anywhere. If you get separated, you won't be caught by the people in the mountains." The beast took it away?"

Gongsun squinted at him, but it was still quite scary thinking about it, so he followed Zhao Pu, "Then what shall we do?"

Zhao Pu was pondering, "The old lady can't possibly harm us. He probably wants us to help her unravel these inscriptions. He is probably nagging. He thinks that we should study it by ourselves. She will go away for a while."

Gongsun nodded, "That's true..."

"You continue to study, maybe you will be back in a while." Zhao Pu felt that it was safest not to wander around now, so he dragged a clean big stone from the side, sat down with Gongsun, and simply studied the stone tablet.

……

At the same time, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who were also sitting on a big rock with their chin in a daze were also trapped in the forest not far away.

Like Gongsun, they also stared at the stele, but the difference was that Gongsun looked at the stele with words, while they looked at the tombstone without words.

The two stared blankly at the tombstone for a long time.

In the end, Bai Yutang spoke first, "What do you think?"

Zhan Zhao blinked and replied, "Very hungry."

Bai Yutang raised his face and looked at the sky. It was noon...it was time for lunch.

Thinking of this, Bai Yutang pulled out something from his waist, held it between two fingers, and handed it to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao glanced at it, then reached out to take it, "What?"

"I met your father this morning, and he said that you like to eat, let me bring it to you." Bai Yutang said.

When Zhan Zhao received it, he saw that it was a delicate rice paper bag. He opened it and said, "Ah! Yunpian Cake made by Fatty."

Bai Yutang was curious, "Fat Master? The one in the kitchen these days?"

"En." Zhan Zhao nodded, took out a piece of Yunpian Cake and stuffed it into Bai Yutang's mouth, and stuffed a piece himself.

Bai Yutang chewed it, and it tasted really good. Zhan Zhao was hungry, so it was comforting to be able to fill his stomach, so... the two of them held a small bag of Yunpian Cake, and stared at the grave while eating, dazed.

……

On the other end, Zhao Pu looked up at the sky, "Bookworm, are you hungry?"

Gongsun sighed, "Hungry, of course I'm hungry after climbing the mountain for more than an hour all morning looking for the fourth son!"

"I'm hungry too." Zhao Pu felt that he should get something to eat, but he was worried about keeping Gongsun.Zhao Pu also complained in his heart, thinking that this old woman is also the same, why did she leave without an explanation.

"hiss……"

Zhao Puzheng was dissatisfied, so he saw Gongsun thumping his waist and stood up, "This rock is so hard, I am tired from sitting."

Zhao Pu patted his leg subconsciously, "Do you want to sit here?"

Zhao Pu just asked casually, he was used to teasing with the fourth son, every time the fourth son likes to climb on his lap and sit.

What Zhao Pu didn't expect was that Gongsun took a look and sat down.

Zhao Pu was stunned, and Gongsun took out a paper bag from the satchel on his waist, and opened it.

"What's this?"

"When I went to the kitchen in the morning, a fat chef gave me Yunpian Cake. He said it was Zhan Zhao's favorite food when he was a child. He asked me to bring some for the fourth son."

Zhao Pu stretched out his hand, took a slice and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing on Yunpian Cake while looking at Gongsun sitting on his lap.

Probably the height and softness of Zhao Pu's legs are much more comfortable than the stone. Gongsun sat quietly staring at the stone tablet thinking, chewing on the cloud cake, and thought it was really delicious. All finished.

Zhao Pu, on the other hand, didn't know what Yunpian Cake tasted like, so he focused all his attention on his legs and Gongsun's back in front of him.

The Ninth Prince took a good look from top to bottom with his eyes, and sighed with emotion - oh, this nerd's waistline and hipline are both good... Not to mention, the senior of the Demon Palace is still very reliable...

Zhao Pu was thinking about something he shouldn't think about, when he saw Gongsun suddenly turn around.

The Ninth Prince was embarrassed, and realized that he probably looked wretched at this time...

Gongsun didn't seem to notice, he poked Zhao Pu at the stele and asked, "Have you seen this sign?"

Zhao Pu finally came back to his senses, put his hands on Gongsun's shoulders, and Shunchi leaned over to look, "What sign?"

While asking, he did not forget to rest his chin on the side of Gongsun's neck, the Ninth Prince smelled it... Oh, this bookworm must have played with some herbal medicine this morning, it smells like bluegrass.

Gongsun pointed to a symbol in the middle of the stele and showed it to Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu looked down carefully and touched his chin.

What Gongsun showed him was a simple pattern, similar to three triangles facing each other, it looked like a flower.

Zhao Pu looked at it for a while and said to himself, "It looks so familiar..."

"I remember seeing it in your military tent." Gongsun said.

Zhao Pu was puzzled, "My military tent? When did you see it?"

"When I went to Black Wind City last time, I had nothing to do and looked for your military book." Gongsun said, "There is a map in one of the very old parchment books. I remember there is such a map on it." Sign, I was planning to ask you at that time, but I forgot later.”

Zhao Pu was taken aback for a moment, then frowned, "Oh..."

Gongsun waited for Zhao Pu's answer, but after he said "oh", he stopped talking, frowned and stared at the stone tablet in confusion, thoughtfully.The original thought of taking advantage was gone, Zhao Pu had some content flashing through his mind at this time, and he felt that the situation was not good!

……

"Cat."

Bai Yutang lightly patted Zhan Zhao who was still eating Yunpian cake in a daze.

Zhan Zhao thought that he still wanted to eat, so he handed him the paper bag of Yunpian Cake in his hand, but Bai Yutang waved his hand and pointed to the side of the tombstone, "What is that?"

Zhan Zhao looked in the direction of Bai Yutang's finger, "What?"

Bai Yutang stood up, walked over, squatted on the side of the stele, and waved to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao ran over, squatted beside him and took a look... On the side of the stele, there was a very shallow trace, which seemed to be carved with stone, a simple logo, a pattern of three triangles facing each other, Some are like a flower.

Zhan Zhao stroked his chin, exchanged glances with Bai Yutang, and then turned to look at other graves. Interestingly, other graves also had this sign, including the nine-headed grandma who later erected it for the person who committed suicide. The Unknown Tomb.

Zhan Zhao went back to the front tombstone again, carefully looked at the pattern, and asked Bai Yutang, "Have you seen this pattern before?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, then asked Zhan Zhao, "What about you?"

"I don't have one either... But this pattern looks very simple, and it looks familiar. Maybe I've never noticed it before." Zhan Zhao looked at the tombstones, and then at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao's expression and asked, "Cat, what do you want to do?"

Zhan Zhao put away the remaining Yunpian Cake, patted the powdered sugar on his hands, ran to the side, pulled down a long thick branch, and walked back.

Bai Yutang watched him poke the soil on the grave with a branch, and frowned, "Cat, do you want to..."

"Since Grandma Jiutou asked us to investigate the case, let's take a look at what's in the thirteen graves first." Zhan Zhao said while tugging at Bai Yutang's clothes, motioning him to back away, "You are afraid of getting dirty, go Sit over there, I'll come."

Bai Yutang stopped him, "I didn't mean that..."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, "Then what?"

Bai Yutang was also a little helpless, "The two of us in the barren mountains can't get out, you still have the mood to dig graves."

Zhan Zhao was stunned, and looked around... At this moment, the surroundings were quiet, with occasional insects chirping, strange birds chirping, and the rustling of leaves in the breeze.Because the woods are too dense, I can't see the outside situation at all. In addition... the woods here are in the valley on the back of the mountain, and there seem to be high mountains around them. It's not too late at this time, but the light in the forest, It was already very dark.

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, then looked at the grave, and asked Bai Yutang with a stick, "Then don't you want to see it?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while and said, "How about looking at one?"

Zhan Zhao nodded with a stick in his hand, and added, "If that's the case, we can fill it in again!"

Bai Yutang also couldn't laugh or cry, what can he do?Can't you cheat the corpse?But it did feel a little weird, he gently pushed the tombstone.

With a "boom", the tombstone was pushed down, and there was mud underneath.Zhan Zhao dug with a stick, and it was quite loose.

Bai Yutang also went to find a wooden stick. The two of them had deep inner strength, so they dug up one of the graves with two or three strokes.

The grave was not too deep, and soon, the two dug to the hard coffin lid.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and lightly shook Zhan Zhao's hand that was still digging, "Wait a minute."

Zhan Zhao looks at him.

Bai Yutang knocked on the coffin lid with a stick.

Zhan Zhao heard a "dong dong" sound.

"Iron?" Zhan Zhao felt that the voice was not right, and quickly swept away the soil covering a part of the coffin lid with a wooden stick. Sure enough, the iron coffin lid was exposed underneath, and there was a ring around the iron coffin. chain……

The two looked at each other.

Bai Yutang frowned, "Is the coffin made of iron still locked?"

Zhan Zhao stared at the coffin.

Bai Yutang's curiosity was aroused, and he wanted to continue digging, but this time, Zhan Zhao grabbed his wrist.

Bai Yutang looked at him.

Zhan Zhao said in a low voice, "Yutang, do you know that there is a person named Burial Flower in the Demon Palace?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "Does the mortician bury the flowers? He's also in the Demon Palace? I haven't seen it before."

"He's here, but he's hiding behind. He has a gloomy personality and doesn't like to see people or light." Zhan Zhao explained, "There are too many people and you may not notice, but he likes you very much. Tell me about it tonight."

Bai Yutang was slightly surprised, "I didn't pay attention to him at all..."

Zhan Zhao waved his hand, indicating that this is not the point.

"The taboos and rules of funeral flowers are the clearest in the world, right?" Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao's expression and asked, "Is there something wrong with this iron coffin? This is the first time I've seen someone use it The iron is used to make the coffin and the chains."

Zhan Zhao stood up, and turned back the soil he dug just now, as if he wanted to fill the grave.

Bai Yutang looked at him puzzled.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "This coffin cannot be opened!"

……

Gongsun looked blankly at Zhao Pu who pulled him to stand up from the stele, puzzled, "Why?"

Zhao Pra led Gongsun out of the ruins, carefully observed the dilapidated and burnt fortress, and frowned.

Gongsun asked him, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Pu looked up at the sky, and whispered to Gongsun, "Let's get out of here before dark!"

Gongsun felt that Zhao Pu's tone of voice was sinister, but before he understood it, Zhao Pu had already taken his hand and walked out of the forest. It seemed that the direction didn't matter, as long as he left the ruins as soon as possible.

At the same time, Bai Yutang was also dragged into the forest by Zhan Zhao, as if he wanted to stay away from the unnamed tomb.

"Cat?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

Zhan Zhao said to himself while walking, "Grandma, did she do it on purpose? Isn't this killing people!"

Bai Yutang was at a loss.

……

In the magic palace.

Yin Hou didn't see Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang when he was eating lunch. He thought Zhan Zhao took Bai Yutang somewhere to play, but he didn't come back in the afternoon, so Yin Hou asked, "Who saw Zhaoer and Yutang boy?" gone?"

An old monster said to him, "In the morning, I saw that I followed Lao Jiu into the mountain."

Yin Hou frowned, "Go into the mountains?"

Tianzun was puzzled, "I saw Jiutou just now, and I was drinking tea in the yard, but I didn't see Yutang and Zhao with her."

On the side, Lu Xueer suddenly realized that what she said to Jiutou might have played a role, and she thought that Grandma Jiutou threw Showa Yutang in the mountains and let them "stay alone and spend the night"?dying!

Thinking of this, Lu Xueer wanted to run away, but before she left, Lu Tianhan asked her coldly, "What the hell are you doing?"

Lu Xueer looked back at him with her mouth flattened, the so-called knowing daughter is Mo Ruofu, Lu Tianhan knew that Lu Xueer probably had something to do with her when he saw Lu Xueer's expression, so he raised his eyebrows at her, that means - said.

Lu Xueer muttered, "She seems to... want to create a chance for the two of them to be alone or something..."

The fourth son interjected, "Daddy and Jiujiu also left with Lai Lai."

"It was also mentioned to go into the mountains." Xiao Liangzi added.

"Did they go to the west mountain or the east mountain, or... the col area?" Yin Hou asked suddenly.

"It's a col." An old man replied.

"Nonsense!" Yin Hou stood up and hurriedly went to Jiutou.

At this time, in Grandma Jiutou's yard, she was sitting cross-legged at the table.

Wu Yifu came in yawning and asked her, "Are you looking for me?"

Jiutou looked at him and nodded, "I left Zhaozhao and the others in the Nameless Tomb."

Wu Yifu yawned halfway, but didn't close his mouth, and stood there stupidly.

Jiutou added, "Zhao Pu and Mr. Gongsun are left in the ruins."

Wu Yifu gasped, "You..."

Hong Jiuniang, who followed Wu Yifu, was so happy to hear these two sentences, she jumped up in shock, "My God! What if this is going to kill someone? Find it quickly."

Grandma Jiutou crossed her arms, "A friend in need is a friend!"

Hong Jiuniang jumped up and down, pushing Wu Yifu in front, "Think of a way!"

Wu Yifu was also in a hurry. At this time, Yin Hou from outside the courtyard came in.

Hong Jiuniang hurried over, "Palace Master."

Yin Hou had actually heard it, nodded and looked at Jiutou, "What did you tell Zhao'er and the others?"

Grandma Jiutou said, "I've told you everything I know."

"What's going on?" Zou Liang and Ouyang Shaozheng both came to ask. They didn't quite understand what was going on, but it's one thing to make a match or not to make a match. If something happens to Zhao Pu, it's no small matter.

Tianzun said, "Don't be nervous."

"Are you sure?" Lin Yehuo confirmed it.

Yin Hou nodded, "Usually those who die are scared to death, the four of them should not have the guts."

Everyone looked at each other.

Nine-headed grandma held her chin and said, "I will go to see them at night, but... I must figure out the answer before I die."

Tianzun squinted his eyes and looked at Yin Hou—you see, you don't care about the people who manage your magic palace.

Yin Hou is helpless - what should I do if she is older than me?

Tianzun folded his arms and thought about it, "But it's okay, after so many years, I'm also curious about what's going on."

Master Bao was at a loss when he heard this, and asked, "Several, can you tell me in detail, is it about the case?"

Yin Hou nodded, and Wusha said, "The mountain behind the magic palace, the east mountain grows flowers and the west mountain grows medicine, are all good places, but this col... tsk tsk tsk."
