Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat
Chapter 163
Zhou Hang didn't think there was anything wrong with pretending to be stupid and competing for favor with a tiger, after all welfare is king.
Face or something, can I eat it?
The biggest advantage of him is that he can live as he wants without caring about other people's eyes.This other person even includes Lin Ruhai.Although every time Lin Ruhai saw him flaunting his cuteness regardless of his status, he couldn't bear to look directly at his disgusted expression, but Zhou Hang thought it was nothing, he didn't care what other people thought of him, as long as Daiyu liked it.As for the old father-in-law, if you dislike him, just dislike him. Doesn't his mother dislike him very much, but when he is in danger, doesn't she protect him immediately every time?Sometimes, dislike is also a kind of concern, even love.
Daiyu began to only care about playing with the tiger, Zhou Hang pushed the tiger aside without any trace, almost occupying the entire space in front of Daiyu, the tiger dared not come forward to invite pets because of his coercion.
Zhou Hang half-lyed in front of Daiyu very satisfied, looking up at Daiyu.
She likes to look at her like that, in cat shape.She seemed to enjoy him being a cat, and at this point she was much more intimate with him than usual, stroking his head or stomach, and feeding him food.After discovering that she prefers giant cats, he always appears as a giant cat.
Daiyu still held half an unfinished pomegranate in her hand, she carefully buckled off the pomegranate seeds one by one, and fed them to Zhou Hang with the palm of her hand.Although Zhou Hang didn't like eating pomegranates very much, it was rare for Daiyu to feed her with his own hands. The stomach is still full.
The big cat opened its mouth, expressing that it still wanted to eat.Daiyu fed him another one, picked two more apples, two pears, and a big watermelon, and he ate them all.When he became a giant cat, he could eat very well. At most, he tried to eat five or six buns and several dishes by himself without feeling full.Of course, he wouldn't feel hungry if he didn't eat so much.
Daiyu touched his stomach and said with a smile, "You eat so much, where did all the food go when you became a kitten?"
Zhou Hang thought for a while, and answered truthfully: "I don't know either."
Daiyu just asked casually, and didn't expect Zhou Hang to have any constructive answers.Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing, Zhou Hang made his back itch, and lay on the ground for Daiyu to scratch, it was very comfortable.She grabbed his paw and compared it with her hand, it was bigger than one of her own palms.The sharp nails were retracted, and she seemed to like the fleshy claws. There were pink pads exposed between the golden hair, and she couldn't help touching them.
"We should compare you and Zhuang Zhuang to see who is taller," she said.
So when the tiger Zhuangzhuang came over, he walked over, compared with Zhuangzhuang side by side, and said, "I should be taller than it."
Daiyu couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing, she didn't expect that he would care so much about what she said casually.So what if he is not strong and tall, he is different from it after all, so what can be compared with it?
When he came to him again, she patted his head and said, "You are very good."
The word "good" should not be used to describe Zhou Hang. Generally, adults only say "good" when they say children, or elders say "younger".Zhou Hang was older than her, and his status was very noble, so it was not appropriate for her to say that Zhou Hang was a good boy.But, for some reason, she just blurted it out.After she finished speaking, even she herself was surprised, her cheeks were hot, and she felt a little embarrassed.
However, Zhou Hang's heart softened, and he felt warm all over his body, as if he was in love and heard sweet words from his lover.This strong emotion almost made the temperature of his whole body rise unconsciously, and his heart beat enthusiastically.At the same time, he tragically discovered that a certain organ under his body was ready to move.He secretly scolded himself a few beasts, and suppressed the strong impulse in his heart. Daiyu only turned 14 after the new year, how could he have such nasty thoughts?
After silently reciting the heart-cleaning mantra several times, he suppressed those thoughts, and he felt that he was a saint again.Rubbing Daiyu with her head, she said in a coquettish tone: "I have always been obedient in front of you, and I will be obedient in the future. You will never dislike me, will you?"
Daiyu said: "Of course not." After speaking, she hugged his head and smiled happily.
She was happy, but Zhou Hang felt that she was in a tragedy, and it might continue to be a tragedy in the next few years.
Judging from Lin Ruhai's usual voice, he didn't want to marry Daiyu so soon.He has expressed more than once that I want to stay with Daiyu for two more years in the future.Maybe in the future, he will have to stay for a few more years before he is willing to marry his daughter.
When Lin Ruhai came in after sleeping, Daiyu was playing a very childish game with Zhou Hang.The ball she made of flowers and plants was still in the air, and Zhou Hang of the giant cat jumped up in the air, caught the flower ball in the air, held it for Daiyu, and she threw it again, and so on.Daiyu originally only planned to play with Zhuang Zhuang, but if Zhou Hang turned into a giant cat to catch flower balls, it would be an insult to him.But Zhuang Zhuang hadn’t picked it up a few times, Zhou Hang was not happy, drove Zhuang Zhuang away, and insisted on picking him up by himself.
Daiyu disagreed at first, what is Zhou Hang's identity, how can he do such a thing?But after picking it up twice, seeing that he enjoyed it quite a bit, Daiyu suspected that he liked this game very much, although she was still uncomfortable in her heart, she finally cheered up and played with him.
Although Zhou Hang in cat body and human body are the same person, to Daiyu, they are completely different, like two distinct identities.
One is a cat and the other is a human.
In human form, he is smart, calm, and wise. He is the prince of the court, dignified and majestic; Childish games can be played with relish.Daiyu always felt that when Zhou Hang turned into a cat, some animals were naughty in their bones, which was very rare. In addition, there was no psychological burden of incompatibility between men and women, so she was more pampered and pampered than when she was in human form. Just want him to be happy.
"Yu'er!" Lin Ruhai called out, frowning.Now, he is no longer annoyed by the fact that Daiyu and Zhou Hang are together, but it is really inappropriate for the dignified prince to pick up the bouquet.
"Daddy, you're awake!" Daiyu looked back, the smile still couldn't be concealed in her eyes.
It was rare for her to be so happy, Lin Ruhai couldn't bear to preach, and beckoned Daiyu to pass.She was sweating from playing, and the hair she tied up in the morning was a little messy. Lin Ruhai restyled her sideburns, looked at the flower ball she was still holding in her hand, and said, "Why are you playing with this?"
At this time, Zhou Hang came over in human form, and said, "My lord, I suggested to play."
Lin Ruhai said with a straight face: "You are the crown prince of the dynasty."
Don't you think it's disrespectful to play such a boring game, His Royal Highness?
"I know..." Zhou Hang tilted his head slightly, "Does it matter?"
As long as Daiyu is happy, what is her identity?
Lin Ruhai felt a little powerless. Of the two children, one didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, so he dared to do anything; the other didn't know his own status, so he was willing to do anything.Let him say what is good, it is also a perfect match.
Forget it, he doesn't care, just let them make trouble.
Next, Lin Ruhai asked Daiyu and Zhou Hang to observe the situation outside.This mountain area is quite remote, surrounded by mountains and forests, and there are often ferocious beasts, even ordinary hunters will not come, it is an inaccessible area.
In the middle of the afternoon, Zhou Hang said that he went out of the space to check the situation, and he went there for more than half an hour.Daiyu couldn't see his shadow in the space outside the space that Daiyu could detect.If Daiyu hadn't had a feeling with him and knew that he was not in any danger, she would have gone outside to look for it.At this time, she felt that it was not enough to raise only one cat with fish balls. If there were more cats, one would stay here, and the other cats would be sent out to find people.
Secretly thought, this time when I go back, I will keep a few more cats in the space, maybe I will use them when I go back.
After Zhou Hang came back, Daiyu asked him where he went and why it took so long.
He replied: "You must have never imagined that I met a little girl! It's a real little girl, about five or six years old, maybe seven years old, but at most not more than eight years old. You know, I am very fond of children. The age has always been uncertain, after all, I haven't had much contact with her. The little girl walked for an unknown amount of time in the mountains and forests. The clothes on her body were already scratched, and her face was also dirty. When she came to her, she stopped and bowed her waist slightly. The neck is also slightly retracted, the big eyeballs are slightly squinting at me, and there is a whining sound from the throat, looking defensive. I am a little confused, and only one sentence pops out of my mind: I am long Does she look like a bad guy, why does she look at me with such a strange expression?"
Daiyu said: "Nonsense! Where did the girl come from in this barren mountain?"
Zhou Hang said: "No nonsense, I swear, there is really a little girl. She said that her father went hunting and disappeared, and she sneaked from home to find her father."
Hearing this, Daiyu frowned slightly, and murmured: "Another hunted and missing person..." I am afraid that she is still in her prime, and most likely she was caught as a living dead.Those traitors seem to like to capture hunters to make puppets, perhaps because hunters are generally stronger, and the refined undead have stronger attack power.Looking at Zhou Hang, she said, "She's a little girl who sneaked out of the house, how dangerous, why don't you bring her, she's running around in the woods by herself, what if she encounters a wild beast?"
Zhou Hang raised his tall sword eyebrows, blinked his eyes, and smiled at Daiyu: "We have important things to do, so it's inconvenient to take her with you. However, I also considered this, so I sent her home .Her family is in a small mountain village, five or six miles away from here, so it took a lot of time."
Daiyu is still very satisfied with Zhou Hang's approach.Since he sent the little girl back home, her family will definitely take good care of her, so there should be no danger.So he put the matter aside and asked, "What's going on outside?"
Zhou Hang said: "The weather is fine today, but the sun is still bright now, just wait a little longer."
The waiting time always seems extraordinarily long, especially when there is nothing to do.Lin Ruhai suggested a game of chess, and Daiyu applauded. The father and daughter played against each other first, and Daiyu was slightly inferior to Lin Ruhai.Lin Ruhai's chess skills are very high, which is recognized by the Beijing officials.Although Daiyu is not as good as her, at this age she can be regarded as outstanding.Zhou Hang was also more humble than Daiyu, and when he met Lin Ruhai, he lost embarrassingly.However, he is open to winning and losing, and he is not arrogant when winning, and he is not bored when losing, which makes Lin Ruhai satisfied.
After killing Zhou Hang, Lin Ruhai threw him two books, one "Sun Wu's Art of War" and one "Zhenguan Political Leaders", and said: "Take time to memorize these two books, even if you leave the capital, you can't do your homework." Fall." Then he went to play chess with Daiyu.
Holding two books in his hands, Zhou Hang's eyebrows were almost in the shape of an upside-down character.
Isn't he just playing chess? Why did he suddenly ask for an endorsement?
Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and thought to himself, if you don't endorse, you will be pestering Yu'er all day long!
An hour later, the sun was setting, and seeing that it was dusk, Daiyu observed for a while, but there was still no movement outside, and she slightly shook her head at the eyes of Zhou Hang and Lin Ruhai.
Zhou Hang squinted his eyes and said, "It's not like no one will come today."
Daiyu thought for a while, then said, "I can't say for sure..."
Lin Ruhai was also thinking about whether the mountain gate would be opened again tonight.If no one comes again, I'm afraid they will have to wait until tomorrow.Perhaps tomorrow will be cloudy and there will be no sun, he thought.Then, they can use the invisibility talisman to follow the opponent's person.
Just observing in space, the range that can be observed is limited after all.They finally decided to leave the space, and still hid behind the big tree in the morning, so they were naturally invisible.In winter, after the sun goes down, the wind blows in the mountains and forests, making it a bit chilly.Lin Ruhai was wrapped in a crane cloak and held a stove in his hand. Daiyu was wearing a jacket. Zhou Hang brought a white fox fur cape and asked Daiyu to put it on. Daiyu gently pushed it away and said, "I'm not cold. , you can put it back." Then he glanced twice, then slightly tilted his head, "Why don't I remember this cloak?"
Zhou Hang whispered: "I had someone make this before leaving the palace, so you've never seen it before."
Daiyu: "Where did you get so many white foxes to do this?"
Zhou Hang: "I hunted."
"You hunted?" Daiyu squinted her eyes, very surprised, "Didn't you get caught in an accident when you were hunting last time? It was me and the Holy One who rescued you. You have never seen any white foxes."
Zhou Hang said: "Before I was attacked, I had already hunted several white foxes. Although there was an accident, the white foxes were still in the hunting ground, and someone cleaned them up. After I returned to the palace, I specially asked Koizumi to fetch the white foxes and make them I bought this cloak, thinking that it’s just winter and it’s not too cold, so I’ll give it to you in a few days. It’s just right, it’s useful today, so it’s worth taking it out in advance.”
Speaking of this, he looked at Daiyu's slender waist, and said: "You should put it on, don't ruin it just because you are healthy. Although monks generally don't catch colds, it's not absolute. It doesn't matter if you have a small illness like this, after all, you are suffering yourself, aren't you?"
Hearing these words in Daiyu's ears was also very heartwarming.She took the cloak, put it on with a smile, and said, "Thank you Brother Hang."
Zhou Hang also laughed.
Lin Ruhai is already used to their way of getting along, and there seems to be a tacit understanding between the two of them. Often, what a person thinks in his heart before he can say it, the other party already knows it.And the two of them can always shield everything around them, and they often don't even notice that he is around.Sometimes Lin Ruhai had to admit that he seemed a bit redundant, but he couldn't leave, he had to keep an eye on him all the time, and he couldn't let his daughter suffer.
They kept watch for most of the night until the beginning of Haimo, when Daiyu and the others almost felt that no one would come tonight and wanted to give up, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, which was very clear in the silent night.At that time, Daiyu and others had already entered the space, and Yuwan was guarding outside, sending a signal to notify.
When Daiyu received the signal, she immediately called Lin Ruhai, and Zhou Hang also received the signal at the same time.
The three of them came out of the space at the same time, and then Moonlight saw a few riders galloping from a distance, hesitating that the speed was too fast, and the light was not good, so it was impossible to tell how many riders were there.After walking in, Zhou Hang said: "There are five horses and five people, all wearing armor." He squinted his eyes, and in the dark night, his pupils gradually enlarged and shone with green light, "One of them is very strange. The servants are dressed like people in my dynasty...there is another person who looks like a woman—why is there a Taoist priest?"
Daiyu didn't know if she heard or not, she just stared at Zhou Hang's eyes, his eyes were beautiful in the dark night...
"Keep your voice down, they are approaching." Lin Ruhai lowered his voice.
Only then did Daiyu suddenly come back to her senses, without needing Zhou Hang to say anything, she also saw clearly the few people who came on horseback.There is a person who wears strange clothes. Think about a travel book I have read. The person who wrote the book has traveled all over the world, from the winter solstice to the sea, to the desolate iceberg in the west, to the country of Russia and the country of Qianxiang.In more than 100 countries, large and small, including France, we have seen white people with blond hair and blue eyes, and black people with dark bodies.After he came back, he wrote all his experiences into a travel note, which recorded in detail the landforms, costumes, customs and other things of the countries he passed.
Daiyu searched carefully. She found a right lapel, slanted front, high collar, lace, a long gown with no slit at the hem, a bright belt around her waist, and long riding boots on her feet.
"This is Rongguo's costume," she said.
Lin Ruhai also nodded and said, "Not bad."
He had really seen Rong Guo's costumes.When I was Han Lin in the capital, Rong Guo had not yet become an open enemy of our dynasty, and there were envoys to and from every few years.He had seen Rong Guo's envoys in court, and even dealt with them. It was exactly this kind of attire.He didn't expect that Daiyu lived in the boudoir for a long time before that, and basically didn't even go out much, so he recognized her at a glance, but he didn't know where she knew about it.
Soon, Daiyu's words solved his doubts.
She said: "I read a travel book about Rongguo, which contains introductions to customs and clothing."
That's true, Daiyu originally liked reading very much, and she only collected miscellaneous studies, she read all kinds of books.Even if she didn't read all the books he had accumulated over the years, she still had a lot of them.Thinking about it, Lin Ruhai nodded secretly, and couldn't help sighing again, with Daiyu's intelligence and savvy, if she was born as a man, she would definitely be able to achieve great achievements and shine on her family.
What a pity, what a pity...
During the conversation, several people on horseback had reached the stone wall and finally stopped.Daiyu, Lin Ruhai, and Zhou Hang looked at each other without speaking, but made eye contact.The five people got off their horses one after another, quietly, no one spoke.After a while, one of them stepped forward, knocked on the stone wall as usual, and then gave a signal, and then the stone door opened, and the passageway to enter appeared in front of him.
Daiyu met Zhou Hang and Lin Ruhai's eyes, and after the five of them walked in, they also followed.Naturally, the footsteps were extremely light, and he was careful not to make any movement, but luckily he was not noticed.
The corridor was very long, with candles lit, Daiyu frowned as soon as she entered, because there was a lot of evil in it, which made her a little uncomfortable.Looking at Zhou Hang, I saw that he was also frowning, and it must be the same.But since you have come in, you must not go out without checking.
The walls on both sides of the corridor looked smooth, but the faint noises from both sides of the walls told her that this was not just a simple road.
There should be hidden doors one after another on this seemingly smooth wall, but I don't know where the traps are.
About a hundred and ten meters away, the person in front stopped suddenly. Daiyu was thinking about something and didn't pay attention, and almost bumped into the back of the person in front. Found.
The wall suddenly made two rumbling sounds. A large piece of the smooth wall sank in first, and then the gap became wider and wider. When it stopped, it was as if there was a gap of a door.Looking through the door, the space inside is very large, about ten feet long and seven or eight feet wide. Two deaf-mute people flashed out of the door, bowing in a gesture of invitation.
Daiyu wanted to follow those people in, but was held back by Zhou Hang. Looking back, she saw Zhou Hang winking and making her look at the mirrors that she didn't want to put at the door.It was not an ordinary mirror, but a bronze mirror with eight directions. Many runes were indistinctly engraved on it, and they were arranged in certain directions.Judging from the simple and unsophisticated colors of the treasure mirrors, each one has a history of no less than a thousand years, and has been used for generations and has magical powers.If they just walked over like this, the invisibility talisman on their bodies would be burned to ashes.
Seeing Daiyu and Zhou Hang stop, Lin Ruhai was puzzled and asked them with his eyes.
Daiyu shook her head. Although Lin Ruhai didn't know why, she understood that there must be a reason for this, so she didn't ask any more.Although he wanted to go in, the first priority was the safety of Daiyu and Zhou Hang, and he couldn't put them in danger just to get more news.Therefore, he took Daiyu's hand and motioned to look elsewhere.
At the same time, the stone door has been closed.
The seal of the stone gate is very good, even if Daiyu listened carefully, she couldn't hear the slightest sound.Let's release the spiritual sense to investigate. Obviously there are people who understand the Taoism. There is a bronze mirror like that at the door. Maybe there are other formations. Once you release your spiritual sense, the other party will know immediately. Isn't it a mistake?
Obviously, Zhou Hang thought about it as well, and he didn't use his spiritual sense to investigate.
With such a big handwriting and such a big base, the forces behind it must not be underestimated.Everywhere in this cave was weird, Zhou Hang kept an eye on the surrounding situation while raising his vigilance, and at the same time observed Daiyu from time to time, lest she might be in any danger.There is also Lin Ruhai, he is not a monk, but a literati, and his boxing skills are not very good. Zhou Hang discussed with Daiyu softly, whether it would be more appropriate to send him back to the space first.But Lin Ruhai was very vigilant after what happened last time, and repeatedly emphasized that they are not allowed to send himself into the space.
Daiyu and Zhou Hang looked at each other, thinking, if there is no danger, let's do this first, if there is any danger, then immediately send Lin Ruhai back.
Lin Ruhai only thought that they had listened to his own lesson and did not dare to act without authorization, but he didn't know their inner intentions.
I also released the fish balls. It is small in size, not easy to be found, and more useful information can be inquired about.
At the end of the corridor is a large hall-like space, which is divided into two halves. There are a lot of sundries piled up in one half. The cloth that was transported before is piled up in one corner, and on the other side, many people are rushing to make clothes.Daiyu looked at it confidently. The clothes were made by some women. They had no expression on their faces and repeated the same movement mechanically, like puppets who had been subjected to puppetry.Dozens of women were sitting there, except for the slight scissors of scissors cutting clothes, there was no sound at all.
Apparently, those women were also dumb.
These people are so hateful, they make good people dumb, Daiyu clenched her fists, secretly thinking that in the future she must make the people behind her pay the price.
The cloth they cut was the one brought from Qiu County, and there were also ready-made clothes, which were exactly what the living dead wore.It seems that this time I found the right place. Nine times out of ten, this is the lair of the rebels who attacked the food transport army, attacked the imperial envoys, and kidnapped the prince.Although she hadn't seen the living dead so far, Daiyu judged that those living dead must be in one or several grottoes here.
What Zhou Hang was thinking at the moment was that obviously the people here belonged to the same organization as the group that attacked him, so he had to notify his father in the capital as soon as possible.He left because his father was still investigating. Although there were some clues, there were not many.Gein and those people disappeared as if they had disappeared out of thin air. Even some unimportant people caught had poison sacs in their mouths. Once they were bound, they would kill themselves immediately.Although it was suspected that the matter might be related to the two brothers Li Chengtian and Li Chengyu, there was no evidence, and it was not easy to take people because of the embarrassment of the Supreme Emperor.
But if you connect what happened here with what happened in the capital, there will be more clues.
Just as she was thinking about her background, Daiyu suddenly pushed him and pointed to the front left.Following the direction of her finger, Zhou Hang saw a stone door open, and two women walked towards it carrying a large wooden box.Look carefully, the wooden box is full of ready-made clothes.
Daiyu raised her eyebrows, follow her to have a look?
Zhou Hang nodded, yes.
The two women carried the box in, the door didn't close immediately, it was still open, which was exactly what Daiyu and Zhou Hang wanted, so they hurried over and stepped in, followed by Lin Ruhai.Unexpectedly, after entering, there were no figures of the two people who were carrying the box just now. Daiyu felt that something was wrong, and just reminded Lin Ruhai and Zhou Hang to be careful, when suddenly there were countless bald shots shot down from the top of the head, and the stabbed people couldn't open their eyes .
After the glare cleared, a frivolous voice came.
"It really is the three of you?"
When the strong light appeared, Daiyu had a bad premonition that they had fallen for it.He was even more regretful when he heard the voice.The strong light burned away the invisibility talisman on their bodies, and at this moment they were exposed to the villain without omission.
"Who are you?" Zhou Hang sternly said, "You talk behind your back, don't you have the face to face people?!"
The man laughed "hahaha".
"As expected of His Royal Highness, what an extraordinary speech!"
Before the words fell, a Taoist priest wearing a mask and Taoist robe suddenly appeared.Behind him were two little Taoist boys, who looked at Zhou Hang with high-spirited eyes, their nostrils almost pointing to the sky.
Zhou Hang raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know my identity?"
The Taoist straightened his sleeves and seemed to smile, but he couldn't see clearly through the mask.He said: "Of course I know. Moreover, I not only know your identity, but also the identities of the two of them." Then he walked to Lin Ruhai, cupped his hands, "Master Lin." He turned to Daiyu, "Lin Ruhai girl."
Daiyu held Lin Ruhai's hand tightly.
Zhou Hang stared at the Taoist, squinting his eyes, his facial features became more and more cold, and his aura became more and more fierce.
"Since you know our identity, you still dare to do this. This is a crime of great treason!"
The man burst into laughter when he heard the words. He laughed for a long time. I don't know how long Zhou Hang didn't wear a pocket watch, but at least 5 minutes.He covered his belly with a smile and bent over, "Da Ni, what about Da Ni, it's not like I haven't experienced Da Ni...but you should worry about your life, Prince." You can't see the expression on the mask, but it should be sinister and creepy, "I will kill the prince!"
Lin Ruhai moved forward, protecting Zhou Hang and Daiyu behind him without any trace.
"This Taoist priest," he straightened up, "since you want us to die, you must make us die clearly."
The masked Taoist said: "How do you want to die clearly?"
Lin Ruhai: "As long as the priest is willing to answer my three questions, Ruhai will die with no regrets!"
The Taoist probably felt that the winning ticket was in his hands, and he was not in a hurry, so he said: "It will be as you wish."
He now has a playful mentality towards Lin Ruhai and the others.Like a cat catching a mouse.Sometimes the cat catches the mouse and does not eat it right away, but puts it on the ground to tease again and again, watching the mouse struggle hard to survive, trying to escape again and again, but when it is about to succeed, the cat slaps it Catch it back, beat it back to its original shape.If the mouse stopped struggling, the cat would poke it with its paws to make it struggle and let it run away, but it never made it succeed, as if in such an activity it could get a greater pleasure than directly swallowing it. .Knowing when the cat has had enough fun, it will die all of a sudden, and slowly enjoy the fruits of its labor.
The first question Lin Ruhai asked was whether the living dead were hiding in this cave.
The Taoist replied: "Yes."
The second question: Was it in Qiu County? Their identities were leaked, and everything behind it was a conspiracy.
The Taoist replied again: "Yes."
really!Lin Ruhai pursed his lips, and was about to say something more, but seeing Zhou Hang winking at him, he smiled and said, "Let the third question be asked by the Crown Prince."
The Taoist was very conceited, saying that it was okay for anyone to ask.
Zhou Hang said, "Who are you? Who is the master behind you?"
The Taoist walked slowly to Zhou Hang's side, stared at him, and said, "These are two questions."
Zhou Hang said: "Two are too many for you? Anyway, we won't be able to get out of this cave today, so what if we answer one more? Don't you think you can't kill us?"
The Taoist looked at Zhou Hang sullenly, stared for a long time, and suddenly said: "Boy, if you want to know who I am, go back and ask your dead mother."
Zhou Hang was taken aback: "You know my mother?"
Hearing his mention of mother, the Taoist's fingers trembled unconsciously.Zhou Hang secretly thought, does this Taoist have any relationship with her mother?He didn't know that his mother was not dead, so he asked his mother what he said.
Zhou Hang raised his head: "You killed my mother?!"
The Taoist suddenly took a step back, shouted: "It's not me, it's not me..." and then disappeared suddenly.
Zhou Hang was a little confused about what was going on.
Before he could think about it, suddenly countless small doors opened around him, and countless undead came pouring in from all directions.At first glance, these living dead were different from the previous ones. Their skin was not black but white, their teeth were sharper, their nails were sharper, and their bodies were not as stiff as the living dead they met before. Knowing to dodge attacks instead of rushing forward foolishly.Zhou Hang discovered that ordinary talismans could not hurt them at all, but could only stop their movements for a moment.
The moment they saw the living dead, Daiyu and Zhou Hang instinctively sent Lin Ruhai into the space almost at the same time.
Facing the undead who suddenly surrounded them, the two of them leaned back against each other, and scattered countless talisman papers, but they couldn't stop the undead from approaching.The low-level talismans were thrown over and turned into ashes with a bang, which was almost useless. The middle-level talismans could cause damage to them, but generally it took three consecutive hits to kill one.One high-level talisman can end one, but the number of high-level talismans is very limited, and there are only thirty or fifty in total.
"Brother Hang, how many high-level talismans do you have?" Daiyu asked while throwing out a high-level talisman and burning a living dead man to ashes.
"Five or six, what about you?" Zhou Hang said.
"I still have a dozen more..." Daiyu frowned and took a deep breath.
It's not a way to go on like this... Whether she or Zhou Hang, it is no problem to deal with this upgraded version of the living dead one-on-one.However, as the saying goes, it is difficult to defeat four hands with both hands, and it cannot withstand the large number of living dead.Although the two of them hadn't suffered much so far, the talismans cost a lot.Now there are not many high-level talismans left, the remaining elementary talismans are useless, and the medium-level talismans are not very useful.If this continues, it won't take a while for these living dead to come close and bite their flesh.
"Go into the space." Daiyu said.
Although you have to go in here, you have to go out here, and you may still be besieged by the living dead, but if you go in to rest and recuperate, and then make some high-level talismans to fight again, the chances of winning are better.
Zhou Hang said: "Good!"
Before he could finish speaking, he had already disappeared into the stone house, leaving nothing but the undead who were rushing towards him with their teeth and claws outstretched. They looked at me and you with dull eyes, and tilted their heads in confusion.These upgraded versions of the living dead have some intelligence, which is roughly equivalent to the appearance of three or four-year-old human beings.
Seeing Daiyu and Zhou Hang, Lin Ruhai hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
Daiyu shook her head, a little disappointed, Lin Ruhai didn't ask any more questions, seeing that Daiyu's coat was scratched, hurriedly urged her to go into the room to change clothes.Zhou Hang then told Lin Ruhai that he met more powerful living dead, that there were too many of them, that he and Daiyu were invincible, and so on.
Lin Ruhai said: "There are too many ants and they can bite people to death. You have to think of a complete way before going out."
Zhou Hang nodded.That masked Taoist man's magic power is very strong, although he does not belong to the same line of practice as them, but he can feel that his strength is strong, far surpassing himself and Daiyu.Needless to say, the two of them together are no match for him alone. Today that person ran away suddenly after hearing that he killed his mother. If not, it is not certain whether they will have a chance to enter the space.Now, even if he and Daiyu make a lot of high-level talismans and go out, even if there is a way to destroy the living dead, if they hold the masked Taoist, the possibility of escape is not great.
Could it be that he just stayed in the space all the time?
This will not work.
You have to think of a way.
Daiyu came out after changing her clothes, and suddenly said anxiously: "Brother Hang, the fish balls are still outside, what should I do?"
Zhou Hang also couldn't figure out what was going on outside. Seeing that she was really anxious, he could only comfort him, "Don't worry, Yu Wan is very smart, so nothing will happen." I hope that stupid cat will be smarter this time, and nothing will happen to her. Otherwise, Daiyu would be very sad.
At this time, Zhuang Zhuang came over and lazily rubbed against Daiyu's leg, but Daiyu was not in the mood to play with it.
Patting the big tiger on the head, let it obediently go aside to play by itself, Daiyu discussed with Zhou Hang and Lin Ruhai what to do next.It turned out that they underestimated the enemy, but they didn't expect the opponent to be so strong. They always felt that with her and Zhou Hang's abilities, it would not be a problem to escape.Who knew that there was such a powerful person on the other side. Now, it is not so easy for them to go out.
When Lin Ruhai knew that there was a small world in the space where the time flow rate was different from reality, he decided to ask Zhou Hang and Daiyu to raise their cultivation bases before going out.In this way, with this advantage, they hope to catch up with that Taoist priest in terms of cultivation.Once the strength is crushed, what's the problem going out?
After the overall balance, Zhou Hang and Daiyu also feel that this is the only way to go at present.
What did Zhou Hang think of, and asked Lin Ruhai: "From the tone of that Taoist, it seems that he knows my mother. Have you ever heard of him before?" Knowing her mother is the grievance of the previous generation. Considering Lin Ruhai's relationship with them It is considered a generation, and maybe they have heard of it, so I ask this question.
Knowing the queen, Lin Ruhai thought about it carefully, but he had never heard that the queen knew any Taoist.
Zhou Hangyuan was just asking casually, and didn't expect Lin Ruhai to think of anything, so there was no need to be disappointed.
Face or something, can I eat it?
The biggest advantage of him is that he can live as he wants without caring about other people's eyes.This other person even includes Lin Ruhai.Although every time Lin Ruhai saw him flaunting his cuteness regardless of his status, he couldn't bear to look directly at his disgusted expression, but Zhou Hang thought it was nothing, he didn't care what other people thought of him, as long as Daiyu liked it.As for the old father-in-law, if you dislike him, just dislike him. Doesn't his mother dislike him very much, but when he is in danger, doesn't she protect him immediately every time?Sometimes, dislike is also a kind of concern, even love.
Daiyu began to only care about playing with the tiger, Zhou Hang pushed the tiger aside without any trace, almost occupying the entire space in front of Daiyu, the tiger dared not come forward to invite pets because of his coercion.
Zhou Hang half-lyed in front of Daiyu very satisfied, looking up at Daiyu.
She likes to look at her like that, in cat shape.She seemed to enjoy him being a cat, and at this point she was much more intimate with him than usual, stroking his head or stomach, and feeding him food.After discovering that she prefers giant cats, he always appears as a giant cat.
Daiyu still held half an unfinished pomegranate in her hand, she carefully buckled off the pomegranate seeds one by one, and fed them to Zhou Hang with the palm of her hand.Although Zhou Hang didn't like eating pomegranates very much, it was rare for Daiyu to feed her with his own hands. The stomach is still full.
The big cat opened its mouth, expressing that it still wanted to eat.Daiyu fed him another one, picked two more apples, two pears, and a big watermelon, and he ate them all.When he became a giant cat, he could eat very well. At most, he tried to eat five or six buns and several dishes by himself without feeling full.Of course, he wouldn't feel hungry if he didn't eat so much.
Daiyu touched his stomach and said with a smile, "You eat so much, where did all the food go when you became a kitten?"
Zhou Hang thought for a while, and answered truthfully: "I don't know either."
Daiyu just asked casually, and didn't expect Zhou Hang to have any constructive answers.Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing, Zhou Hang made his back itch, and lay on the ground for Daiyu to scratch, it was very comfortable.She grabbed his paw and compared it with her hand, it was bigger than one of her own palms.The sharp nails were retracted, and she seemed to like the fleshy claws. There were pink pads exposed between the golden hair, and she couldn't help touching them.
"We should compare you and Zhuang Zhuang to see who is taller," she said.
So when the tiger Zhuangzhuang came over, he walked over, compared with Zhuangzhuang side by side, and said, "I should be taller than it."
Daiyu couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing, she didn't expect that he would care so much about what she said casually.So what if he is not strong and tall, he is different from it after all, so what can be compared with it?
When he came to him again, she patted his head and said, "You are very good."
The word "good" should not be used to describe Zhou Hang. Generally, adults only say "good" when they say children, or elders say "younger".Zhou Hang was older than her, and his status was very noble, so it was not appropriate for her to say that Zhou Hang was a good boy.But, for some reason, she just blurted it out.After she finished speaking, even she herself was surprised, her cheeks were hot, and she felt a little embarrassed.
However, Zhou Hang's heart softened, and he felt warm all over his body, as if he was in love and heard sweet words from his lover.This strong emotion almost made the temperature of his whole body rise unconsciously, and his heart beat enthusiastically.At the same time, he tragically discovered that a certain organ under his body was ready to move.He secretly scolded himself a few beasts, and suppressed the strong impulse in his heart. Daiyu only turned 14 after the new year, how could he have such nasty thoughts?
After silently reciting the heart-cleaning mantra several times, he suppressed those thoughts, and he felt that he was a saint again.Rubbing Daiyu with her head, she said in a coquettish tone: "I have always been obedient in front of you, and I will be obedient in the future. You will never dislike me, will you?"
Daiyu said: "Of course not." After speaking, she hugged his head and smiled happily.
She was happy, but Zhou Hang felt that she was in a tragedy, and it might continue to be a tragedy in the next few years.
Judging from Lin Ruhai's usual voice, he didn't want to marry Daiyu so soon.He has expressed more than once that I want to stay with Daiyu for two more years in the future.Maybe in the future, he will have to stay for a few more years before he is willing to marry his daughter.
When Lin Ruhai came in after sleeping, Daiyu was playing a very childish game with Zhou Hang.The ball she made of flowers and plants was still in the air, and Zhou Hang of the giant cat jumped up in the air, caught the flower ball in the air, held it for Daiyu, and she threw it again, and so on.Daiyu originally only planned to play with Zhuang Zhuang, but if Zhou Hang turned into a giant cat to catch flower balls, it would be an insult to him.But Zhuang Zhuang hadn’t picked it up a few times, Zhou Hang was not happy, drove Zhuang Zhuang away, and insisted on picking him up by himself.
Daiyu disagreed at first, what is Zhou Hang's identity, how can he do such a thing?But after picking it up twice, seeing that he enjoyed it quite a bit, Daiyu suspected that he liked this game very much, although she was still uncomfortable in her heart, she finally cheered up and played with him.
Although Zhou Hang in cat body and human body are the same person, to Daiyu, they are completely different, like two distinct identities.
One is a cat and the other is a human.
In human form, he is smart, calm, and wise. He is the prince of the court, dignified and majestic; Childish games can be played with relish.Daiyu always felt that when Zhou Hang turned into a cat, some animals were naughty in their bones, which was very rare. In addition, there was no psychological burden of incompatibility between men and women, so she was more pampered and pampered than when she was in human form. Just want him to be happy.
"Yu'er!" Lin Ruhai called out, frowning.Now, he is no longer annoyed by the fact that Daiyu and Zhou Hang are together, but it is really inappropriate for the dignified prince to pick up the bouquet.
"Daddy, you're awake!" Daiyu looked back, the smile still couldn't be concealed in her eyes.
It was rare for her to be so happy, Lin Ruhai couldn't bear to preach, and beckoned Daiyu to pass.She was sweating from playing, and the hair she tied up in the morning was a little messy. Lin Ruhai restyled her sideburns, looked at the flower ball she was still holding in her hand, and said, "Why are you playing with this?"
At this time, Zhou Hang came over in human form, and said, "My lord, I suggested to play."
Lin Ruhai said with a straight face: "You are the crown prince of the dynasty."
Don't you think it's disrespectful to play such a boring game, His Royal Highness?
"I know..." Zhou Hang tilted his head slightly, "Does it matter?"
As long as Daiyu is happy, what is her identity?
Lin Ruhai felt a little powerless. Of the two children, one didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, so he dared to do anything; the other didn't know his own status, so he was willing to do anything.Let him say what is good, it is also a perfect match.
Forget it, he doesn't care, just let them make trouble.
Next, Lin Ruhai asked Daiyu and Zhou Hang to observe the situation outside.This mountain area is quite remote, surrounded by mountains and forests, and there are often ferocious beasts, even ordinary hunters will not come, it is an inaccessible area.
In the middle of the afternoon, Zhou Hang said that he went out of the space to check the situation, and he went there for more than half an hour.Daiyu couldn't see his shadow in the space outside the space that Daiyu could detect.If Daiyu hadn't had a feeling with him and knew that he was not in any danger, she would have gone outside to look for it.At this time, she felt that it was not enough to raise only one cat with fish balls. If there were more cats, one would stay here, and the other cats would be sent out to find people.
Secretly thought, this time when I go back, I will keep a few more cats in the space, maybe I will use them when I go back.
After Zhou Hang came back, Daiyu asked him where he went and why it took so long.
He replied: "You must have never imagined that I met a little girl! It's a real little girl, about five or six years old, maybe seven years old, but at most not more than eight years old. You know, I am very fond of children. The age has always been uncertain, after all, I haven't had much contact with her. The little girl walked for an unknown amount of time in the mountains and forests. The clothes on her body were already scratched, and her face was also dirty. When she came to her, she stopped and bowed her waist slightly. The neck is also slightly retracted, the big eyeballs are slightly squinting at me, and there is a whining sound from the throat, looking defensive. I am a little confused, and only one sentence pops out of my mind: I am long Does she look like a bad guy, why does she look at me with such a strange expression?"
Daiyu said: "Nonsense! Where did the girl come from in this barren mountain?"
Zhou Hang said: "No nonsense, I swear, there is really a little girl. She said that her father went hunting and disappeared, and she sneaked from home to find her father."
Hearing this, Daiyu frowned slightly, and murmured: "Another hunted and missing person..." I am afraid that she is still in her prime, and most likely she was caught as a living dead.Those traitors seem to like to capture hunters to make puppets, perhaps because hunters are generally stronger, and the refined undead have stronger attack power.Looking at Zhou Hang, she said, "She's a little girl who sneaked out of the house, how dangerous, why don't you bring her, she's running around in the woods by herself, what if she encounters a wild beast?"
Zhou Hang raised his tall sword eyebrows, blinked his eyes, and smiled at Daiyu: "We have important things to do, so it's inconvenient to take her with you. However, I also considered this, so I sent her home .Her family is in a small mountain village, five or six miles away from here, so it took a lot of time."
Daiyu is still very satisfied with Zhou Hang's approach.Since he sent the little girl back home, her family will definitely take good care of her, so there should be no danger.So he put the matter aside and asked, "What's going on outside?"
Zhou Hang said: "The weather is fine today, but the sun is still bright now, just wait a little longer."
The waiting time always seems extraordinarily long, especially when there is nothing to do.Lin Ruhai suggested a game of chess, and Daiyu applauded. The father and daughter played against each other first, and Daiyu was slightly inferior to Lin Ruhai.Lin Ruhai's chess skills are very high, which is recognized by the Beijing officials.Although Daiyu is not as good as her, at this age she can be regarded as outstanding.Zhou Hang was also more humble than Daiyu, and when he met Lin Ruhai, he lost embarrassingly.However, he is open to winning and losing, and he is not arrogant when winning, and he is not bored when losing, which makes Lin Ruhai satisfied.
After killing Zhou Hang, Lin Ruhai threw him two books, one "Sun Wu's Art of War" and one "Zhenguan Political Leaders", and said: "Take time to memorize these two books, even if you leave the capital, you can't do your homework." Fall." Then he went to play chess with Daiyu.
Holding two books in his hands, Zhou Hang's eyebrows were almost in the shape of an upside-down character.
Isn't he just playing chess? Why did he suddenly ask for an endorsement?
Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and thought to himself, if you don't endorse, you will be pestering Yu'er all day long!
An hour later, the sun was setting, and seeing that it was dusk, Daiyu observed for a while, but there was still no movement outside, and she slightly shook her head at the eyes of Zhou Hang and Lin Ruhai.
Zhou Hang squinted his eyes and said, "It's not like no one will come today."
Daiyu thought for a while, then said, "I can't say for sure..."
Lin Ruhai was also thinking about whether the mountain gate would be opened again tonight.If no one comes again, I'm afraid they will have to wait until tomorrow.Perhaps tomorrow will be cloudy and there will be no sun, he thought.Then, they can use the invisibility talisman to follow the opponent's person.
Just observing in space, the range that can be observed is limited after all.They finally decided to leave the space, and still hid behind the big tree in the morning, so they were naturally invisible.In winter, after the sun goes down, the wind blows in the mountains and forests, making it a bit chilly.Lin Ruhai was wrapped in a crane cloak and held a stove in his hand. Daiyu was wearing a jacket. Zhou Hang brought a white fox fur cape and asked Daiyu to put it on. Daiyu gently pushed it away and said, "I'm not cold. , you can put it back." Then he glanced twice, then slightly tilted his head, "Why don't I remember this cloak?"
Zhou Hang whispered: "I had someone make this before leaving the palace, so you've never seen it before."
Daiyu: "Where did you get so many white foxes to do this?"
Zhou Hang: "I hunted."
"You hunted?" Daiyu squinted her eyes, very surprised, "Didn't you get caught in an accident when you were hunting last time? It was me and the Holy One who rescued you. You have never seen any white foxes."
Zhou Hang said: "Before I was attacked, I had already hunted several white foxes. Although there was an accident, the white foxes were still in the hunting ground, and someone cleaned them up. After I returned to the palace, I specially asked Koizumi to fetch the white foxes and make them I bought this cloak, thinking that it’s just winter and it’s not too cold, so I’ll give it to you in a few days. It’s just right, it’s useful today, so it’s worth taking it out in advance.”
Speaking of this, he looked at Daiyu's slender waist, and said: "You should put it on, don't ruin it just because you are healthy. Although monks generally don't catch colds, it's not absolute. It doesn't matter if you have a small illness like this, after all, you are suffering yourself, aren't you?"
Hearing these words in Daiyu's ears was also very heartwarming.She took the cloak, put it on with a smile, and said, "Thank you Brother Hang."
Zhou Hang also laughed.
Lin Ruhai is already used to their way of getting along, and there seems to be a tacit understanding between the two of them. Often, what a person thinks in his heart before he can say it, the other party already knows it.And the two of them can always shield everything around them, and they often don't even notice that he is around.Sometimes Lin Ruhai had to admit that he seemed a bit redundant, but he couldn't leave, he had to keep an eye on him all the time, and he couldn't let his daughter suffer.
They kept watch for most of the night until the beginning of Haimo, when Daiyu and the others almost felt that no one would come tonight and wanted to give up, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, which was very clear in the silent night.At that time, Daiyu and others had already entered the space, and Yuwan was guarding outside, sending a signal to notify.
When Daiyu received the signal, she immediately called Lin Ruhai, and Zhou Hang also received the signal at the same time.
The three of them came out of the space at the same time, and then Moonlight saw a few riders galloping from a distance, hesitating that the speed was too fast, and the light was not good, so it was impossible to tell how many riders were there.After walking in, Zhou Hang said: "There are five horses and five people, all wearing armor." He squinted his eyes, and in the dark night, his pupils gradually enlarged and shone with green light, "One of them is very strange. The servants are dressed like people in my dynasty...there is another person who looks like a woman—why is there a Taoist priest?"
Daiyu didn't know if she heard or not, she just stared at Zhou Hang's eyes, his eyes were beautiful in the dark night...
"Keep your voice down, they are approaching." Lin Ruhai lowered his voice.
Only then did Daiyu suddenly come back to her senses, without needing Zhou Hang to say anything, she also saw clearly the few people who came on horseback.There is a person who wears strange clothes. Think about a travel book I have read. The person who wrote the book has traveled all over the world, from the winter solstice to the sea, to the desolate iceberg in the west, to the country of Russia and the country of Qianxiang.In more than 100 countries, large and small, including France, we have seen white people with blond hair and blue eyes, and black people with dark bodies.After he came back, he wrote all his experiences into a travel note, which recorded in detail the landforms, costumes, customs and other things of the countries he passed.
Daiyu searched carefully. She found a right lapel, slanted front, high collar, lace, a long gown with no slit at the hem, a bright belt around her waist, and long riding boots on her feet.
"This is Rongguo's costume," she said.
Lin Ruhai also nodded and said, "Not bad."
He had really seen Rong Guo's costumes.When I was Han Lin in the capital, Rong Guo had not yet become an open enemy of our dynasty, and there were envoys to and from every few years.He had seen Rong Guo's envoys in court, and even dealt with them. It was exactly this kind of attire.He didn't expect that Daiyu lived in the boudoir for a long time before that, and basically didn't even go out much, so he recognized her at a glance, but he didn't know where she knew about it.
Soon, Daiyu's words solved his doubts.
She said: "I read a travel book about Rongguo, which contains introductions to customs and clothing."
That's true, Daiyu originally liked reading very much, and she only collected miscellaneous studies, she read all kinds of books.Even if she didn't read all the books he had accumulated over the years, she still had a lot of them.Thinking about it, Lin Ruhai nodded secretly, and couldn't help sighing again, with Daiyu's intelligence and savvy, if she was born as a man, she would definitely be able to achieve great achievements and shine on her family.
What a pity, what a pity...
During the conversation, several people on horseback had reached the stone wall and finally stopped.Daiyu, Lin Ruhai, and Zhou Hang looked at each other without speaking, but made eye contact.The five people got off their horses one after another, quietly, no one spoke.After a while, one of them stepped forward, knocked on the stone wall as usual, and then gave a signal, and then the stone door opened, and the passageway to enter appeared in front of him.
Daiyu met Zhou Hang and Lin Ruhai's eyes, and after the five of them walked in, they also followed.Naturally, the footsteps were extremely light, and he was careful not to make any movement, but luckily he was not noticed.
The corridor was very long, with candles lit, Daiyu frowned as soon as she entered, because there was a lot of evil in it, which made her a little uncomfortable.Looking at Zhou Hang, I saw that he was also frowning, and it must be the same.But since you have come in, you must not go out without checking.
The walls on both sides of the corridor looked smooth, but the faint noises from both sides of the walls told her that this was not just a simple road.
There should be hidden doors one after another on this seemingly smooth wall, but I don't know where the traps are.
About a hundred and ten meters away, the person in front stopped suddenly. Daiyu was thinking about something and didn't pay attention, and almost bumped into the back of the person in front. Found.
The wall suddenly made two rumbling sounds. A large piece of the smooth wall sank in first, and then the gap became wider and wider. When it stopped, it was as if there was a gap of a door.Looking through the door, the space inside is very large, about ten feet long and seven or eight feet wide. Two deaf-mute people flashed out of the door, bowing in a gesture of invitation.
Daiyu wanted to follow those people in, but was held back by Zhou Hang. Looking back, she saw Zhou Hang winking and making her look at the mirrors that she didn't want to put at the door.It was not an ordinary mirror, but a bronze mirror with eight directions. Many runes were indistinctly engraved on it, and they were arranged in certain directions.Judging from the simple and unsophisticated colors of the treasure mirrors, each one has a history of no less than a thousand years, and has been used for generations and has magical powers.If they just walked over like this, the invisibility talisman on their bodies would be burned to ashes.
Seeing Daiyu and Zhou Hang stop, Lin Ruhai was puzzled and asked them with his eyes.
Daiyu shook her head. Although Lin Ruhai didn't know why, she understood that there must be a reason for this, so she didn't ask any more.Although he wanted to go in, the first priority was the safety of Daiyu and Zhou Hang, and he couldn't put them in danger just to get more news.Therefore, he took Daiyu's hand and motioned to look elsewhere.
At the same time, the stone door has been closed.
The seal of the stone gate is very good, even if Daiyu listened carefully, she couldn't hear the slightest sound.Let's release the spiritual sense to investigate. Obviously there are people who understand the Taoism. There is a bronze mirror like that at the door. Maybe there are other formations. Once you release your spiritual sense, the other party will know immediately. Isn't it a mistake?
Obviously, Zhou Hang thought about it as well, and he didn't use his spiritual sense to investigate.
With such a big handwriting and such a big base, the forces behind it must not be underestimated.Everywhere in this cave was weird, Zhou Hang kept an eye on the surrounding situation while raising his vigilance, and at the same time observed Daiyu from time to time, lest she might be in any danger.There is also Lin Ruhai, he is not a monk, but a literati, and his boxing skills are not very good. Zhou Hang discussed with Daiyu softly, whether it would be more appropriate to send him back to the space first.But Lin Ruhai was very vigilant after what happened last time, and repeatedly emphasized that they are not allowed to send himself into the space.
Daiyu and Zhou Hang looked at each other, thinking, if there is no danger, let's do this first, if there is any danger, then immediately send Lin Ruhai back.
Lin Ruhai only thought that they had listened to his own lesson and did not dare to act without authorization, but he didn't know their inner intentions.
I also released the fish balls. It is small in size, not easy to be found, and more useful information can be inquired about.
At the end of the corridor is a large hall-like space, which is divided into two halves. There are a lot of sundries piled up in one half. The cloth that was transported before is piled up in one corner, and on the other side, many people are rushing to make clothes.Daiyu looked at it confidently. The clothes were made by some women. They had no expression on their faces and repeated the same movement mechanically, like puppets who had been subjected to puppetry.Dozens of women were sitting there, except for the slight scissors of scissors cutting clothes, there was no sound at all.
Apparently, those women were also dumb.
These people are so hateful, they make good people dumb, Daiyu clenched her fists, secretly thinking that in the future she must make the people behind her pay the price.
The cloth they cut was the one brought from Qiu County, and there were also ready-made clothes, which were exactly what the living dead wore.It seems that this time I found the right place. Nine times out of ten, this is the lair of the rebels who attacked the food transport army, attacked the imperial envoys, and kidnapped the prince.Although she hadn't seen the living dead so far, Daiyu judged that those living dead must be in one or several grottoes here.
What Zhou Hang was thinking at the moment was that obviously the people here belonged to the same organization as the group that attacked him, so he had to notify his father in the capital as soon as possible.He left because his father was still investigating. Although there were some clues, there were not many.Gein and those people disappeared as if they had disappeared out of thin air. Even some unimportant people caught had poison sacs in their mouths. Once they were bound, they would kill themselves immediately.Although it was suspected that the matter might be related to the two brothers Li Chengtian and Li Chengyu, there was no evidence, and it was not easy to take people because of the embarrassment of the Supreme Emperor.
But if you connect what happened here with what happened in the capital, there will be more clues.
Just as she was thinking about her background, Daiyu suddenly pushed him and pointed to the front left.Following the direction of her finger, Zhou Hang saw a stone door open, and two women walked towards it carrying a large wooden box.Look carefully, the wooden box is full of ready-made clothes.
Daiyu raised her eyebrows, follow her to have a look?
Zhou Hang nodded, yes.
The two women carried the box in, the door didn't close immediately, it was still open, which was exactly what Daiyu and Zhou Hang wanted, so they hurried over and stepped in, followed by Lin Ruhai.Unexpectedly, after entering, there were no figures of the two people who were carrying the box just now. Daiyu felt that something was wrong, and just reminded Lin Ruhai and Zhou Hang to be careful, when suddenly there were countless bald shots shot down from the top of the head, and the stabbed people couldn't open their eyes .
After the glare cleared, a frivolous voice came.
"It really is the three of you?"
When the strong light appeared, Daiyu had a bad premonition that they had fallen for it.He was even more regretful when he heard the voice.The strong light burned away the invisibility talisman on their bodies, and at this moment they were exposed to the villain without omission.
"Who are you?" Zhou Hang sternly said, "You talk behind your back, don't you have the face to face people?!"
The man laughed "hahaha".
"As expected of His Royal Highness, what an extraordinary speech!"
Before the words fell, a Taoist priest wearing a mask and Taoist robe suddenly appeared.Behind him were two little Taoist boys, who looked at Zhou Hang with high-spirited eyes, their nostrils almost pointing to the sky.
Zhou Hang raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know my identity?"
The Taoist straightened his sleeves and seemed to smile, but he couldn't see clearly through the mask.He said: "Of course I know. Moreover, I not only know your identity, but also the identities of the two of them." Then he walked to Lin Ruhai, cupped his hands, "Master Lin." He turned to Daiyu, "Lin Ruhai girl."
Daiyu held Lin Ruhai's hand tightly.
Zhou Hang stared at the Taoist, squinting his eyes, his facial features became more and more cold, and his aura became more and more fierce.
"Since you know our identity, you still dare to do this. This is a crime of great treason!"
The man burst into laughter when he heard the words. He laughed for a long time. I don't know how long Zhou Hang didn't wear a pocket watch, but at least 5 minutes.He covered his belly with a smile and bent over, "Da Ni, what about Da Ni, it's not like I haven't experienced Da Ni...but you should worry about your life, Prince." You can't see the expression on the mask, but it should be sinister and creepy, "I will kill the prince!"
Lin Ruhai moved forward, protecting Zhou Hang and Daiyu behind him without any trace.
"This Taoist priest," he straightened up, "since you want us to die, you must make us die clearly."
The masked Taoist said: "How do you want to die clearly?"
Lin Ruhai: "As long as the priest is willing to answer my three questions, Ruhai will die with no regrets!"
The Taoist probably felt that the winning ticket was in his hands, and he was not in a hurry, so he said: "It will be as you wish."
He now has a playful mentality towards Lin Ruhai and the others.Like a cat catching a mouse.Sometimes the cat catches the mouse and does not eat it right away, but puts it on the ground to tease again and again, watching the mouse struggle hard to survive, trying to escape again and again, but when it is about to succeed, the cat slaps it Catch it back, beat it back to its original shape.If the mouse stopped struggling, the cat would poke it with its paws to make it struggle and let it run away, but it never made it succeed, as if in such an activity it could get a greater pleasure than directly swallowing it. .Knowing when the cat has had enough fun, it will die all of a sudden, and slowly enjoy the fruits of its labor.
The first question Lin Ruhai asked was whether the living dead were hiding in this cave.
The Taoist replied: "Yes."
The second question: Was it in Qiu County? Their identities were leaked, and everything behind it was a conspiracy.
The Taoist replied again: "Yes."
really!Lin Ruhai pursed his lips, and was about to say something more, but seeing Zhou Hang winking at him, he smiled and said, "Let the third question be asked by the Crown Prince."
The Taoist was very conceited, saying that it was okay for anyone to ask.
Zhou Hang said, "Who are you? Who is the master behind you?"
The Taoist walked slowly to Zhou Hang's side, stared at him, and said, "These are two questions."
Zhou Hang said: "Two are too many for you? Anyway, we won't be able to get out of this cave today, so what if we answer one more? Don't you think you can't kill us?"
The Taoist looked at Zhou Hang sullenly, stared for a long time, and suddenly said: "Boy, if you want to know who I am, go back and ask your dead mother."
Zhou Hang was taken aback: "You know my mother?"
Hearing his mention of mother, the Taoist's fingers trembled unconsciously.Zhou Hang secretly thought, does this Taoist have any relationship with her mother?He didn't know that his mother was not dead, so he asked his mother what he said.
Zhou Hang raised his head: "You killed my mother?!"
The Taoist suddenly took a step back, shouted: "It's not me, it's not me..." and then disappeared suddenly.
Zhou Hang was a little confused about what was going on.
Before he could think about it, suddenly countless small doors opened around him, and countless undead came pouring in from all directions.At first glance, these living dead were different from the previous ones. Their skin was not black but white, their teeth were sharper, their nails were sharper, and their bodies were not as stiff as the living dead they met before. Knowing to dodge attacks instead of rushing forward foolishly.Zhou Hang discovered that ordinary talismans could not hurt them at all, but could only stop their movements for a moment.
The moment they saw the living dead, Daiyu and Zhou Hang instinctively sent Lin Ruhai into the space almost at the same time.
Facing the undead who suddenly surrounded them, the two of them leaned back against each other, and scattered countless talisman papers, but they couldn't stop the undead from approaching.The low-level talismans were thrown over and turned into ashes with a bang, which was almost useless. The middle-level talismans could cause damage to them, but generally it took three consecutive hits to kill one.One high-level talisman can end one, but the number of high-level talismans is very limited, and there are only thirty or fifty in total.
"Brother Hang, how many high-level talismans do you have?" Daiyu asked while throwing out a high-level talisman and burning a living dead man to ashes.
"Five or six, what about you?" Zhou Hang said.
"I still have a dozen more..." Daiyu frowned and took a deep breath.
It's not a way to go on like this... Whether she or Zhou Hang, it is no problem to deal with this upgraded version of the living dead one-on-one.However, as the saying goes, it is difficult to defeat four hands with both hands, and it cannot withstand the large number of living dead.Although the two of them hadn't suffered much so far, the talismans cost a lot.Now there are not many high-level talismans left, the remaining elementary talismans are useless, and the medium-level talismans are not very useful.If this continues, it won't take a while for these living dead to come close and bite their flesh.
"Go into the space." Daiyu said.
Although you have to go in here, you have to go out here, and you may still be besieged by the living dead, but if you go in to rest and recuperate, and then make some high-level talismans to fight again, the chances of winning are better.
Zhou Hang said: "Good!"
Before he could finish speaking, he had already disappeared into the stone house, leaving nothing but the undead who were rushing towards him with their teeth and claws outstretched. They looked at me and you with dull eyes, and tilted their heads in confusion.These upgraded versions of the living dead have some intelligence, which is roughly equivalent to the appearance of three or four-year-old human beings.
Seeing Daiyu and Zhou Hang, Lin Ruhai hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
Daiyu shook her head, a little disappointed, Lin Ruhai didn't ask any more questions, seeing that Daiyu's coat was scratched, hurriedly urged her to go into the room to change clothes.Zhou Hang then told Lin Ruhai that he met more powerful living dead, that there were too many of them, that he and Daiyu were invincible, and so on.
Lin Ruhai said: "There are too many ants and they can bite people to death. You have to think of a complete way before going out."
Zhou Hang nodded.That masked Taoist man's magic power is very strong, although he does not belong to the same line of practice as them, but he can feel that his strength is strong, far surpassing himself and Daiyu.Needless to say, the two of them together are no match for him alone. Today that person ran away suddenly after hearing that he killed his mother. If not, it is not certain whether they will have a chance to enter the space.Now, even if he and Daiyu make a lot of high-level talismans and go out, even if there is a way to destroy the living dead, if they hold the masked Taoist, the possibility of escape is not great.
Could it be that he just stayed in the space all the time?
This will not work.
You have to think of a way.
Daiyu came out after changing her clothes, and suddenly said anxiously: "Brother Hang, the fish balls are still outside, what should I do?"
Zhou Hang also couldn't figure out what was going on outside. Seeing that she was really anxious, he could only comfort him, "Don't worry, Yu Wan is very smart, so nothing will happen." I hope that stupid cat will be smarter this time, and nothing will happen to her. Otherwise, Daiyu would be very sad.
At this time, Zhuang Zhuang came over and lazily rubbed against Daiyu's leg, but Daiyu was not in the mood to play with it.
Patting the big tiger on the head, let it obediently go aside to play by itself, Daiyu discussed with Zhou Hang and Lin Ruhai what to do next.It turned out that they underestimated the enemy, but they didn't expect the opponent to be so strong. They always felt that with her and Zhou Hang's abilities, it would not be a problem to escape.Who knew that there was such a powerful person on the other side. Now, it is not so easy for them to go out.
When Lin Ruhai knew that there was a small world in the space where the time flow rate was different from reality, he decided to ask Zhou Hang and Daiyu to raise their cultivation bases before going out.In this way, with this advantage, they hope to catch up with that Taoist priest in terms of cultivation.Once the strength is crushed, what's the problem going out?
After the overall balance, Zhou Hang and Daiyu also feel that this is the only way to go at present.
What did Zhou Hang think of, and asked Lin Ruhai: "From the tone of that Taoist, it seems that he knows my mother. Have you ever heard of him before?" Knowing her mother is the grievance of the previous generation. Considering Lin Ruhai's relationship with them It is considered a generation, and maybe they have heard of it, so I ask this question.
Knowing the queen, Lin Ruhai thought about it carefully, but he had never heard that the queen knew any Taoist.
Zhou Hangyuan was just asking casually, and didn't expect Lin Ruhai to think of anything, so there was no need to be disappointed.
