Chapter 34 Guests from all directions

Fortunately, Zhao Yijiu just said it casually and had no intention of avenging his private revenge. Yu Xing was gently pushed by one hand and broke away from the shadow and turned into a physical body again.
He stretched, walked towards the gadget he hadn't checked just now, and started rummaging and searching skillfully.
Scissors, needlework, oil paint, scattered manuscripts...
After the inspection by the apprentices of the opera troupe just now, the things in the gadget had been placed again, and there was no way to tell what was missing, let alone Yu Xing didn't know what was there in the box.
But he found some furnace ashes in the corner of the box, which were stuck in the gaps in the box, and could not even be seen without looking carefully.
There is no incense burner in the box, but there is a bunch of thin incense threads.
So, there is a missing incense burner here.
Yu Xing tried to dip the ash with his fingers, but the ash had already blended into the box, leaving only colors that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
He picked up Shinxiang and checked it out. Zhao Yijiu looked around and asked, "Is there any problem with Xiang?"
"It's an ordinary incense, you can buy it at any time when you go to a funeral shop." Yu Xing put the incense back and narrowed his eyes. "But this bundle of incense has been stored for a long time, it has been damp and moldy, and there are also traces of being eaten by insects. It is also placed at the bottom of the box, so it can be thrown away long ago."
"It means that the troupe hasn't burned the incense for a long time." Zhao Yijiu thought to himself as he said, "Why?"
Yu Xing pondered for a moment: "I don't know the customs here. Anyway, a long time ago, some businesses would burn incense and worship in advance, some worshipping as ancestors, and some worshipping local gods."
"The film and television industry will also worship when it starts, so as to make the filming smoothly."
"Maybe... this opera troupe used to have such a particularity, but from a certain moment, they no longer paid attention to it. The incense of thread and incense burner were pressed down on the bottom of the box and forgotten, so that the incense burner was missing in the box and was not noticed."
He turned his head to look at the box itself. Sure enough, the box was old enough to a certain extent. It seemed that he had been following the opera troupe for many years, with scratches and small pits everywhere.
What happened that caused the incense burning to be forgotten?
If this is true, then these little apprentices may have nothing to do with the dungeon, but their "master" might know something.
Zhao Yijiu listened carefully. Every time he talked about serious matters, he was like a good student who was working hard in front of Yu Xing.
There is still a lot of time before the start of the shadow puppet scene. Yu Xing stood up, closed the glove box, and chuckled: "The incense burner should have been taken away by Quinn. He takes the things, so we will find someone. Let's go and visit the master."
This time, Yu Xing didn't plan to be a gecko, so he simply jumped down from the window on the third floor and fell silently onto the land outside the earth building.
Zhao Yijiu still blended into the shadows and closed the windows.
The two of them went around in a circle, and this time, they knocked on the door of the opera troupe openly.
The dull voice spread into the earthen building. After a while, the youngest four apprentices ran out and opened the door.
She is only fourteen or fifteen years old. Because it is not time for the show yet, she is wearing casual clothes that are common outsiders, with beautiful black hair tied a ponytail behind her head.
Maybe he thought it was a knock on the door with the villagers of the county, so when he saw Yu Xing and Zhao Yijiu, the fourth apprentice was stunned.
Huh? Not a villager?
The little girl didn't know how to restrain her eyes, and looked at them from beginning to end, and the more she looked, the more weird it became.
The lanterns on the eaves of the earthen building have been lit up by villagers. The red light fell on the two young men outside the door. One had a gentle smile and the other was cold and dark, and they were all wearing clothes that were obviously not of ethnic minorities.
"Ah...who are you?" she asked.
Finally, he thought that others couldn't hear it, "Can there be a beautiful man in the mountains who suck in the scent? There are strange things every year, and I'm in this year?"
Zhao Yijiu: "..." I want to be quite beautiful.
Yu Xing understood the mental state of young people in this era very well. He didn't care about the muddy in the girl's mind. He raised the harmless gentle smile of humans and animals, bent down slightly, and said politely: "Hello, we are also tourists staying in this village. I heard from the villagers that a shadow puppetry troupe came here and came to visit them specially."
The little girl blushed a little and stammered, "Why do you want to visit?"
"Oh, we two are graduate students working on folk culture projects, and we are already very interested in shadow puppetry." Yu Xing took out a brand new pink hair rope with exquisite candy models from his pocket, "I'll give it to you. Can you please ask us if your master will accept an interview?"
Seeing the little girl hesitantly not stretching out her hand, Yu Xing sighed softly: "It doesn't matter if you don't accept it. We just want to try it. When we first chose this topic, we mainly wanted to promote ancient art. Shadow puppets are also an art form that is about to disappear..."
Just then, the boy's inquiry came from the room: "Junior sister! Who is knocking on the door?"
The little girl coughed lightly, but still took Yu Xing's hair rope gift: "I'll go and ask the master, don't leave!"
The door was closed.
Tulou was in silence. Several villagers passed by and looked at the two of them, but didn't ask anything. They had always been at ease with outsiders and had no plans to restrict them.
A few seconds later, Zhao Yijiu didn't hold back: "Hair rope? Pink?"
Sometimes Yu Xing's hair will grow long, and if it is troublesome, he will tie it up with rubber bands.
But Zhao Yijiu didn't expect that Yu Xing would carry such a girlish hair rope with him, and it was a candy pattern.
How to say it... Zhao Yijiu uncontrollably imagined the scene of pink candy swaying on Yu Xing's hair, which was simply-
indescribable!
"What do you think?" Yu Xing turned his face and raised his eyebrows. "I bought it specially before going out. The pink candy hair rope is not expensive and has no special meaning. However, it is very beautiful, small and not noticeable. It is the most suitable to use it to bribe female ghosts and npcs."
Although it may not be useful, it is safe to be prepared. Look, before the deduction has been made, he met a girl of the right age.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yu Xing took out a few exactly the same ones from his pocket: "Do you want it? I'll give you one, so I can barely prick it up and pull it up."
Zhao Yijiu: “…get out.”
"Okay." Yu Xing withdrew his hand regretfully amid Zhao Yijiu's resistance. As soon as he put the thing back, the door opened.
This time the door was opened by a young man who was not tall, the third apprentice who was the most perfunctory apprentice on the third floor. The boy had a pretty face and looked at the two of them: "Come in, the master said you can talk to you."
...
On the other side, several helicopters that made machine gun-like noises flew over the rift valley with suspension bridges, flew over the dense or sparse woods, and stopped a few hundred meters away from the acid and county.
The body of the fuselage was covered with yellow talismans, hanging in the air, hanging ladders, and several teams of people who were obviously close and alienated were climbing down from the ladder until they landed on the ground.
After everyone confirmed that they were landing safely, the helicopter pilot made a gesture and returned the same way. The remaining eight people looked at the surrounding environment frequently, with different expressions.
Luo Yan took two of his members to sense the strange aura in the air first. Several people from the Zhao family looked at each other. A young-looking woman pushed Zhao Ruru who seemed to be in a daze: "Ruru, ask Mr. Ren if you want to act together later."
Zhao Ruru said oh.
Then she slowly walked to the man standing alone, and blinked at the man at an angle that the family's "teammates" could not see, "Ren Yi, Zhao Dongxue asked me to ask you if you want to go together later. Hehe~ She must want to harm you."
Ren Yi had a paralyzed face, but showed a bit of trouble-making gaze like Zhao Ruru, and turned his head to make others unable to see his lips: "Okay, but it doesn't matter, I have always been very tolerant of dying people."
He felt that except for Zhao Ruru, the Zhao family, no one could survive this deduction.
The reason is very simple, not only because the Zhao family always has excessive competition with the research institute in terms of intelligence, but also the experience of Zhao Yijiu that Ren Yi learned about.
He believed that if Zhao Mou was a tough guy, he would not miss such a good opportunity, and if the Zhao family targeted him, he would not be a clinging person.
After saying that, Ren Yi glanced at the other seven people.
Among the four Zhao family members and three Luo family members - one of the people from the Luo family is a disciple of a different surname.
This time, he just got the clues of this deduction, and in order to make a deal with the Zhao family, he took a ride-hailing lone wolf.
They have different positions from each other, but maintain a peaceful appearance because of the social tacit understanding of adults.
