At the other end, Su Zhen took the young monk Yuzhu and walked along the winding secret passage.
When passing a corner, Su Zhen stopped and stretched out her hand to Yuzhu, who was a few steps behind her. "Give me your hand, I have a mechanism."
"You still have a trap in your secret passage?"
"Beware of thieves. Without me to lead the way, everyone who enters will die!"
"You are clearly not a vicious person, so why are you pretending to be one?"
"Disguise?" Su Zhen moved her fingers, "Little monk, do you know how many people I have killed with these hands?"
"Fifty-seven people."
Yuzhu suddenly blurted out the number of people Su Zhen had killed.
"Then you still follow me? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Master has said that as a disciple of Buddhism, you should have the compassion to save the world and help the world."
Yuzhu deliberately made a rigid expression and answered seriously.
"You want to cross me?"
Su Zhen found it very funny. She had always been the one to slay demons, but there was actually a young monk who threatened to slay her. It was not only weird, it was simply unbelievable.
Yuzhu nodded solemnly.
"Okay, stop being sensational!"
Su Zhen dragged him to her side, picked him up effortlessly, and flew through the extremely wide secret passage without touching his feet.
Although Yuzhu was only twelve years old, she was only one head shorter than Su Zhen. Under her hands, Yuzhu seemed to have no power to fight back.
He had just made a move to escape from Su Zhen, but he heard her say, "I sprinkled poisonous powder on the ground. If someone steps on it, it will immediately attract the poison I hid and get into the body, and then be burned to death by the fire."
.”
After Yuzhu hesitated for a while, he believed Su Zhen's lies and stopped moving randomly. He was as calm as a little sheep.
Su Zhen suppressed her laughter along the way to prevent Yu Zhu from seeing the clues.
There are no candle lights in the secret passage, only luminous pearls placed every few steps. There are countless holes in it, extending in all directions, making it dazzling for those who look at it.
Su Zhen moved extremely fast, and dark golden light shone under her feet. The speed was so fast that only the afterimages they left behind could be seen on the wall, as well as the slender tail-like stream of light.
Yuzhu hugged Su Zhen's arm tightly, for fear of falling.
He didn't know how much time passed, but he only knew that Su Zhen seemed to be spinning him back and forth, making him dizzy.
Until his feet landed firmly on the ground, he was still a little overwhelmed.
The seal appeared in Su Zhen's hand. As her hand pressed on the mechanism, a rumbling sound came from the secret passage, and the door opened.
It was already dark outside, and Su Zhen had already estimated the time.
He lifted up the khaki tattered cloth on his head and walked out on the straw on the ground.
Yuzhu gasped for air. When he looked up, he saw that Su Zhen had disappeared, so he hurriedly chased her out.
"Master Su! Master Su!"
Yuzhu stepped out of the secret passage, and when he also lifted up the khaki cloth, he was immediately shocked.
As far as the eye can see, a group of beggars in ragged clothes are sitting on the yellow straw. Each of them is holding a white steamed bun or a greasy chicken leg, which is delicious.
On the other hand, Su Zhen, the young master who had always been unruly and unruly in his eyes, was sitting face to face with an old beggar, roasting pheasant.
The old beggar's hair was dry and dry, with a few straws mixed in it. His exposed skin was dirty, as if he hadn't cleansed his face for several days. Especially between his fingers, there was black mud. He was dressed in loose clothes.
The black robe is mostly sewn with palm-sized pieces of cloth of various colors, mostly gray.
The gray cloth shoes on the feet have long been worn out, and the exposed toes have thick yellow calluses. It is obviously caused by wearing worn shoes for too long, and the toes have been repeatedly abraded, healed and abraded again, which formed the condition.
It looks like this.
Not far behind them, there was a huge statue of the City God.
The entire City God's Temple became extremely quiet after Yuzhu appeared.
He put his hands together and bowed, and under the strange eyes of the beggars, he carefully walked past them and came behind Su Zhen.
He knelt down and grabbed a corner of Su Zhen's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Su, has the person you were looking for arrived?"
"Here he is." Su Zhen raised her chin and motioned Yu Zhu to look at Lao Zhu's head.
At the same time, Lao Zhutou was also looking at Yuzhu, and then he smiled at Su Zhen and said, "Mr. Su, I already know about you and General Xiao. You are not afraid to bring a young monk here while it is late at night.
Mr. General, please have some taste."
"Donor! The young monk is a monk, how can you make fun of the young monk!"
Su Zhen patted Yuzhu on the shoulder and said, "Little monk, I wish that the boss is a very nice person. Don't mind. Come and sit down."
Yuzhu reluctantly sat on the futon next to Su Zhen.
Su Zhen used a knife to make a few cuts on the cleaned chicken neatly and skillfully, sprinkled the chicken with seasonings and baked it on the campfire rack.
He blinked at the group of beggars, and the next moment, they all disappeared into the City God's Temple.
Lao Zhutou has long been accustomed to this scene, thanks to the little demons disguised as beggars who protected him. Otherwise, he would have been chopped into meat by his former enemies, stuffed and fed to the dogs.
Yuzhu didn't notice the evil spirit at all before. He wanted to sit up but was grabbed by Su Zhen's wrist, "Why are you panicking? They are all my people."
"They are monsters! Not humans!"
"Little monk, your master taught you Buddhist magic, so it shouldn't be used to kill innocent people indiscriminately, right?"
"How did you help them hide their evil aura?"
Su Zhen curled her lips and remained silent. As a demon master, it was easy to help half-human and half-demon children hide their auras and identities.
Listening to Yuzhu's unkind tone, Lao Zhutou guessed that he and Su Zhen must have had some issues. But looking at their postures, they didn't look like enemies.
"Mr. Su, what are your instructions for sending someone to notify me? Qi Wan's identity and origin will be sent over later, and all the truth will be known by then."
"I'm not here for her. Ziye has been missing for several days and his whereabouts are unknown. Lao Zhutou has always been as meticulous as dust, why not take a guess?"
"I have known Mr. Su for a short time, but I can roughly feel your temperament. When the prince leaves home, you probably don't want him to be brought back like this. If I am not wrong, you probably want me to fulfill my promise."
"Hmm." Su Zhen picked up a branch from the ground, drew a general distribution map of Hexuan Continent, pointed to one of the locations and said, "This is Luo Qi."
After a few strokes, he continued, "These lands are bounded by Xiliang and Mobei. In recent years, Mobei has paid tribute to Luo Qi every year due to its defeat in the war. On the contrary, Xiliang, with the regent He Liang sitting in the court, has become more powerful."
It’s getting stronger and stronger. Therefore, according to Ziye’s temperament, it is inevitable for him to hide his identity. But as he likes to be strong and competitive, he will not take it step by step, and will inevitably blend directly into the army guarding the border." This chapter has been completed!
