As soon as Da Huang said these words, I knew that this guy must have something to say. Sure enough, Da Huang said with a smile: "There are only a few people in the Chen family. Grandpa and grandson are all here. Isn't it time to go back to your hometown?"
I was happy when I heard this: "Dahuang, you don't mean that this guy Chen Xuance took Xiaoqing to meet Chen Jialin, right?"
"But the last time Chen Xuance left without saying goodbye, wouldn't his masters Cao Wuyong and Guo Fengxian go looking for him?" Old Mao said with a frown.
Dahuang chuckled: "Look, this is what a smart person like you thinks. A simple and rough person like me doesn't think so. The most dangerous place is the safest place. What are Chen Xuance and Chen Xiaoqing thinking?
They will definitely make dangerous moves! Besides, the King of Dragons and the others are so busy right now, how can they have the time to work hard with Mr. Chen and the others!"
Lao Mao was dumbfounded by Da Huang's words. Rujun and I both smiled and nodded. Rujun especially supported Da Huang: "I think Da Huang's judgment this time is not wrong. Chen Jialin, we should always go and take a look."
When Dahuang saw that even Rujun supported him, he was of course very happy. Lao Mao and I didn't have any objections. Anyway, we haven't been to the east for a long time, so we just went to investigate this time.
…
After resting for a night, we still operated during the day the next day.
As the New Year is approaching, the flow of people in Sijiu City is getting less and less. Many people who come here to work begin to go home, and the city finally becomes less crowded.
In fact, after those who should leave leave, there will be very few people left in the Forty-Nine City, and this is the real Forty-Nine City, lifeless in the steel forest.
Because it was daytime, of course we couldn't go downstairs to wait for the bloody subway, and without Lao Xie's help, we couldn't enter Chen Jialin from the inside. The only way now was to sneak in through the entrance on the Sihui side.
The flow of people in Sihui is much smaller, but that doesn't mean there isn't any. We tried three or four times during the day, but we were never able to get in through the tightly blocked iron fence under the C1 entrance.
After much deliberation, we had no choice but to wait until there were fewer people at night. The four of us found a temporary coffee shop, sat down and slowly figured out the next plan. What should we do after meeting Xiao Qing? Will Xiao Qing not do it?
Are you willing to cooperate with us? What on earth is Chen Xuance doing again? Who is this old guy serving?
We still can't figure it out clearly. Although Chen Xuance was Cao Wuyong's disciple, it is obvious that Chen Xuance has now turned his back on Cao Wuyong, and he was not used by Cao Wuyong at all.
Rujun thought for a while and said: "I always feel that we still underestimated Chen Xuance. I originally thought that what he was seeking was to get a good position beside the King of Dragons, such as one of the Three Sages, one of the Seven Evils...
…But now it seems that is not the case, Mr. Chen’s plan is even bigger than what we see.”
"But what could it be?" I frowned and thought, but after much deliberation I couldn't think of a reason: "Do you think... could it be related to Huanyang Jade?"
Rujun was stunned: "Are you saying that Mr. Chen covets the Yang Jade?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, you also admitted that night that Xiaoqing might have provided cover for the person who stole the Yang Jade. What if this person is Mr. Chen?"
"But what's the use of the Huanyang Jade if he takes it?" Rujun asked.
"How to use the Sky Eye Lotus... Do you still remember what Yao Guangxiao said? When we traveled back in time, the white-clothed Emperor once said that Yao Guangxiao had studied and understood the use of the Sky Eye Lotus..."
"Is it time travel?"
I shook my head gently: "Maybe it's more than just time travel? Maybe the Sky Eye Lotus has other functions? Could Mr. Chen's real purpose be to use the Sky Eye Lotus to complete other conspiracies?"
Rujun's expression changed, while Da Huang and Lao Mao sat aside, looking at us as if they were listening to a book from heaven.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. I looked at Chen Jialin in the distance and whispered: "No, we have to take action today. First find Xiaoqing, and then ask what Chen Xuance is doing now. The Lotus with Heavenly Eyes is too scary, I'm worried
What terrible things will Chen Xuance do!"
…
After staying up all day, evening finally arrived, and as expected, after almost ten o'clock, there was no one here.
The waiters in the coffee shop have already changed their shift. They must be wondering who the four of us are and why we have been here all day.
After we checked out and went out, our buttocks were sore from sitting. When no one was around, the old cat skillfully pried open the iron gate, and we got into the subway tunnel.
Part of the tunnel here is already outside the ground. There is only a very narrow tunnel heading underground. This is of course the passage leading to Chenjialin Subway Station.
The four of us walked nervously, perhaps because we knew that Chen Xuance had a big plan, so we didn't dare to act rashly or relax even a little bit.
The formation was the same as before, I took the lead, Rujun pressed the formation, and moved forward towards Chen Jialin.
The tunnel was deep, and we could already see the dim lights in the public toilets at the Chenjialin subway station at the far exit. Rujun suddenly whispered: "Wait a minute, it's so dark and sinister."
We were a little nervous when Rujun said it, so we stopped first. At this moment, a wind with a strange smell blew from a distance.
It is indeed a very strong and gloomy atmosphere, but what is even more strange is not the gloomy wind, but the smell in the wind.
It was a kind of powdery smell, or a feminine fragrance. Although it was very light, it was very obvious.
"Rujun, what is this...smell?" Lao Mao may have thought that Rujun was a girl and had a deep understanding of this smell, so he asked Rujun directly.
Rujun frowned and said, "This... seems to be a kind of fragrance."
"What does the powder smell like?" the old cat asked.
But Rujun shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it. The smell of powder is more elegant than this. The fragrance is very plain, a bit like sandalwood..."
"Sandalwood?" Old Mao frowned, feeling that something was wrong: "It stands to reason that sandalwood should be a very masculine scent, and it can also exorcise ghosts. Why does it appear in Chen Jialin? This is the stronghold of evil ghosts...
…Besides, this sandalwood mixed in the cold wind makes people feel a little weird, right?"
Things got weirder and weirder. After calming down, we waited for a while to make sure there were no other sounds, and then we continued moving forward.
There was the sound of wind in the distance, and there was always a scent of sandalwood in the air. I suddenly thought that some righteous person had attacked Chen Jialin, right? But such doubts were quickly dispelled by me.
Because when I got close to Chen Jialin, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Uh... uh... uh..."
It was rhythmic and powerful. I knew what the sound was. It was the sound of that silly boy Chen Xiaoqing sharpening his knife.
"Xiaoqing? Xiaoqing?" I whispered, looking towards the platform. Sure enough, where I could see, Chen Xiaoqing was sitting on the bottom step of the stairs, holding a dagger in his hand.
Grind it step by step.
The moment Chen Xiaoqing saw me, the expression on his face moved slightly. I was suddenly stunned and saw a figure flash in the distance, and then disappeared in an instant.
It was a very slender figure with slender legs that were dazzlingly white. Although I only saw a small fragment, I was sure that it was a young girl!
"Lin Yang, why are you here?" Xiao Qing touched her head and asked, "I... I was sharpening the knife. What a coincidence..."
As soon as I heard Chen Xiaoqing's words, I knew there was something wrong in Xiaoqing's mind. I pointed at the disappearing figure in the distance and asked, "Do you have a guest?"
Chen Xiaoqing looked back, then shook his head and said: "No, there are no guests, Chen Jialin is just me."
As he said that, Xiaoqing continued to sharpen his knife, and I looked back at Rujun and the others. The three of them nodded at the same time. I was not the only one to see that figure.
Although Chen Xiaoqing did not tell us the reason, it is undeniable that he did hide something from us.
I jumped up and reached the platform. After looking around, I asked: "Xiaoqing, where is Mr. Chen?"
