The Red King was furious and led his team to the brothel to clean up the business.
Before going out, everyone was getting ready. Zheng Xiu walked to the inn yard, looked up, and saw a thin shadow with his hands on his knees, curled up on the roof, basking in the moonlight alone.
Remembering the strange behavior of the snake during dinner, Zheng Xiu thought for a moment, then used his hands and feet to secretly climb to the roof along the pillar, tiptoeing on the bricks and tiles, and approached the snake.
But before Zheng Xiu had time to get close to the snake, the snake with its back to Zheng Xiu didn't even look back and said dullly: "Stop hiding, I've heard your voice a long time ago."
"Meow!"
Above Zheng Xiu, the orange cat sneered. The pony Red King became angry and slapped the cat's butt hard.
"Snapped!"
The orange cat was stunned.
Zheng Xiu sat next to the snake.
"Let's go, Sister Ye is calling you."
Zheng Xiu still pretended to be childish. Since Snake and Ye liked the image of "Little Pony Red King", Zheng Xiu simply used the mentality of a child to get along with them.
"No, no, no, no, no!"
The snake shook its head vigorously.
"But your sister said..."
"It's so noisy! It's so noisy!" Snake shook his head impatiently and made a "hissing" sound from time to time: "You can just go and I'll stay here. Why don't you and your sister go?"
!Anyway, sister is beautiful and everyone likes her."
"Let me tell you a little bedtime story."
The young man was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled. Snake was impatient and was about to refuse, but the young man had already started telling a story.
"Once upon a time, there was a couple who bought an old horse one day. The couple were very happy and rode the old horse on the street."
The snake suddenly became quiet, its pointed ears twitching slightly.
Maybe I can be a qualified "storyteller".
Zheng Xiu thought to himself and continued:
"When passers-by saw it, they started criticizing the couple: Oh, these two old guys are not good people. Look, the old horse's back is almost bent."
Zheng Xiu vividly imitated the disgusting comments of the "melon-eating passerby".
"The couple heard this and felt ashamed. The woman got off her horse and left the old man riding alone. At this time, passers-by pointed out: This old man is really a beast. He rides alone and leaves the woman to lead the horse. He deserves to die."
The snake snorted.
"The couple had no choice but to change places, leaving the woman on the horse and the old man holding the horse. At this time, passers-by pointed at the woman and ridiculed: This shrew does not follow the rules of women and dares to let her husband lead the horse!"
The short bedtime story resonated with the snake. Zheng Xiu’s deliberate pause made the snake couldn’t help but interrupt: “At worst, I won’t even ride anymore!”
"Yes," Zheng Xiu suppressed laughter and told the ending of the story: "So they both got off the horse and led the horse away. Finally, the passers-by burst into laughter when they saw this: This couple is really stupid. They bought
I don’t even know how to ride a horse.”
Snake frowned, and her pupils gradually changed from round to vertical. She tilted her head, as if sticking out her tongue under the veil: "Hey, what do you mean by this story?"
"Ahem, I don't mean anything else. This story tells us that the world often only sees your bad side and ignores your good side. Just like me...that uncle King Chi, the world often only sees your bad side.
His wealth and power dominate the world, but his hard work, kindness, integrity and friendliness are invisible."
Snake chuckled and was amused: "Is the Red King your father? Are you looking towards him like this?"
"In short," Zheng Xiu concluded: "It doesn't matter if a person is ugly, being kind-hearted is more important than anything else."
The snake's eyes widened.
What I fear most is that the air suddenly becomes quiet.
The orange cat covered its eyes speechlessly and jumped off the boy's head.
After the snake was silent for a moment, it suddenly shouted, turned over and pressed the young man under it. It became angry and said viciously: "I will bite you to death!" After that, the snake took a bite, lifted up a corner of its veil, and its fine scales shone in the moonlight.
A silvery shimmer reflected below. The dense snake scales made Zheng Xiu suddenly startled. It was during this moment that the snake actually opened its mouth and bit Zheng Xiu's face.
Zheng Xiu only felt a slight sting on his face. When the snake's mouth left Zheng Xiu's face, two small teeth marks were left on Zheng Xiu's face, and his entire face was numb.
"you……"
[You have tried your best to resist snake venom, and your physique has gained some experience.]
[Through unremitting efforts, you have struggled in life and death situations many times, which has improved your physical fitness.]
【Physique plus one.】
[Physique increased to thirty-nine.]
The experience value skyrocketed without any precaution or worry. It just appeared out of thin air. Zheng Xiu was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but said, "Would you like to take a few more bites?"
Zheng Xiu's fluent words stunned the snake. She pointed at Zheng Xiu's mouth dumbfounded: "You are not poisoned?"
Although the poison she used was not fatal, it could paralyze the mouth and tongue, making it impossible to speak.
After Zheng Xiu was bitten by her, he could still speak clearly, and it didn't look like he was poisoned at all. This made the snake wonder whether the bite she just made was not in the right place. Or maybe this guy was too thick-skinned and she couldn't bite him.
In the meat?
Miscalculated.
Snake thought sadly.
At this time, Ye Na's gentle voice came from below: "Stop making trouble, snake."
Ye, Xi'er, Situ Yong, Jun Buxiao, and Yin Qingqing were neatly dressed and gathered in the yard. Among them, under Zheng Xiu's instructions, Jun Buxiao and Situ Yong took off their work clothes and put on casual clothes.
At least it looks like he went to a brothel to pick flowers.
Zheng Xiu called it "fishing and cracking down on pornography."
Among them, Situ Yong was dressed the most like him. He wore a colorful embroidered robe, his white hair was tied back with a golden belt, and he wore jade around his waist. If you didn't know better, how could you tell that this was the world-famous old man?
The miracle doctor looks exactly like a wealthy man who wanders around the gentle countryside.
As for Jun Buxiao, he rarely takes off his mask, revealing a pale face, unsmiling and empty eyes.
Wearing a mask, Jun Buxiao is full of emotions, and his smile is charming. But without the mask, Jun Buxiao looks like a retard.
"Little Master,"
Ye glanced at the snake who was angry for some reason, and said to Zheng Xiu: "Why don't you let the snake stay here? The snake's sense of hearing and smell are extremely keen. If the evil thing in the pregnant boy's belly is really the plot of Xiang Gu, I'm afraid I
When the case comes to investigate, someone will be harmful to the pregnant teenager."
Zheng Xiu agreed with this. The guardian must keep someone to guard the family. Zheng Xiu will not do the practice of emptying the base camp.
Since Ye Du said so, Zheng Xiu let the snake stay.
"Old miracle doctor, where is your guy?"
Zheng Xiu jumped down from the roof, looked at the old miracle doctor's flat back, and asked curiously.
The old miracle doctor patted his waist with a proud look on his face: "Of course I have hidden my treasure."
When the clothes are tight, the shape of the scabbard is faintly visible.
Hearing this, Zheng Xiu cursed in his heart, why did he go there so early? He had to be so high-profile before, with six swords thrust out like Spider-Man.
A group of people walking on the street.
At the beginning of the lanterns, many men were walking in a hurry on the street, walking in the same direction as Zheng Xiu and others.
They occasionally saw an infuriating scene. In front of a house, a greasy-dressed middle-aged man wanted to go out. The simple woman cried and stopped her, but was slapped to the ground by the angry man.
Xi'er couldn't see it and was about to teach him a lesson. Jun Buxiao said with a faceless smile: "Hey, let me do it."
I saw Jun Buxiao pretending to be passing by, waving the scissors behind the man, and the man's shadow was cut off by Jun Buxiao strangely, struggling like a bug in Jun Buxiao's hands.
Jun Buxiao spread the shadow's legs, squinted his eyes and slashed at the slight bulge of the shadow.
"Crack!"
"Oh my, it's really hard to find!"
Jun Buxiao’s weird voice and the “click” sound sounded at the same time.
The clear sound of the scissors opening and closing made Situ Yong and Zheng Xiu subconsciously clamp their legs together. Jun Buxiao threw the shadow of the "eunuch" behind the man, and the shadow "lyed" at the man's feet again.
After taking a few steps, a man's frightened voice came from behind: "Where's my majestic figure!!!"
Looking back, what made several people laugh was that the man was opening his trousers, looking at the inside of his trousers with tears in his eyes, crying and kneeling on the ground with a plop, looking lifeless.
Situ Yong's mouth twitched: "Your 'shadow play' really makes people avoid you."
"Hehe, it's just a blind eye."
Jun Buxiao said modestly, he subconsciously took out the mask and wanted to put it on his face, but when he thought about the "fishing and crackdown on pornography" commanded by the Red King, he hid the mask back in his arms without any interest.
They were talking and laughing all the way, but they didn't act like they were just picking flowers. Halfway through, Zheng Xiu waved to Ye Shen mysteriously. Ye's face turned slightly red, and he fell a few steps behind and asked the young man what he wanted to do.
Zheng Xiu asked about the scales on the snake's face.
Ye Wenyan couldn't help but be startled: "Did you see it?"
"careless."
Zheng Xiu touched the place where he was bitten by the snake, thinking that such a good fat sheep should be watched carefully. He took a month of poisonous baths before his [Physique] improved a little, and every time he took a bath, it was only "meager"
Instead of training, I let the snake bite me and gained "a little" experience. Maybe the key to [Evil Boy]'s physique reaching "exceptional" lies in the snake.
The wool has to be gleaned to death.
After the attributes of the incarnation reach the bottleneck, it can "break the rules" when certain unknown conditions are met. [Zheng Baimei]'s [Learning] attribute "breaks the rules" in one breath under the promotion of "No Merchant, Not Evil" and becomes "Comprehension"
, and I don’t know what will happen to my [Physique] once it breaks the rules.
Ye was silent for a moment and smiled relievedly: "It doesn't hurt to tell you. After all, it seems rare for snakes to get along so well with their peers."
peer.
Um.
Zheng Xiu nodded vigorously.
Ye added: "Perhaps you don't know that Snake and I are not actually sisters."
Zheng Xiu moved his eyes down from Ye's face, looked at it, and said clearly: "Sure enough, I have seen it a long time ago."
Ye smiled slightly: "Young master, you have good eyesight."
She told a story.
Once upon a time, horse thieves were rampant in the desert to the west. One day, the horse thieves massacred a village, but for some reason, a giant snake was disturbed. The giant snake swallowed all the horse thieves into its belly. In the devastation, the giant snake heard the cry of the baby.
.
The giant snake pushed the collapsed house away, and there was a baby girl under the rubble. Lying in the baby girl was a white and fat baby girl. For some reason, the giant snake took the baby girl away in its mouth and raised it as its own.
.
Gradually, scales grew on the baby girl's body, and her living habits became more and more like a snake.
It can shed its skin, hibernate, has keen hearing and smell, and extremely weak eyesight.
When the baby girl was seven years old, a giant snake lurked underground and abandoned the grown-up baby girl on an oasis outside the incomplete building "Mirage".
The baby girl was discovered by a blind man in the incomplete building and brought back to the building. Because of her unique appearance, she was named "Snake".
The snake had a unique appearance, and the blind people in the building always laughed at her appearance. Later, Ye became angry and beat up all the blind people in the building, and called the snake "sisters". The blind people in the building laughed at the appearance of the snake, and Ye then became angry.
Like the snake, he put on a veil and never showed his true face again.
"To the snake, the giant snake is like a biological mother. The snake still doesn't understand why the giant snake abandoned her and left alone many years ago."
"I had good intentions. I thought that some of you are good-hearted and would not judge people by their appearance, so I took off my veil and encouraged Snake to treat you sincerely. After all, I also hope that Snake can truly let go of his guard and have a heart-to-heart relationship with you."
Ye said, sighing softly: "Perhaps Snake thinks Ye has betrayed her."
The "giant snake" in Ye's story became more and more familiar to Zheng Xiu. He couldn't help but ask: "The giant snake you mentioned...could it be white?"
Ye heard this and looked at the young man suspiciously: "How do you know?"
"Ahem, I guessed it. The white snake is easy to think of." Zheng Xiu was prevaricating, feeling a little guilty for no reason. He and the monk almost disemboweled the big white snake on the snowy mountain.
"Wait a minute." Suddenly, Zheng Xiu lowered his head and muttered: "So, the way the snake took it is not a 'divine witchcraft' at all?"
Hearing the words, Ye looked hesitant, smiled bitterly, and lowered his voice: "You are really...that's all. In fact, even the poster doesn't know what kind of path the snake takes. The poster speculates that there are things in the world that are beyond the reach of humans.
Once you enter the door, your body will involuntarily show 'inhuman' changes. For example, there is a 'crowman' in our building, and his appearance looks like a... bird."
Her first sentence seemed to say that you are really a smart little kid. Since Zheng Xiu had guessed most of it, Ye did not continue to hide it and openly revealed the secret that had been hidden for many years.
Inhuman way!
Zheng Xiu thought of the "Gateway Map" that he and Feng Bei had deduced together. There was a large blank space between the prisoners and the upper, middle and lower classes. Indeed, as Ye said, Zheng Xiu also believed that there was a gap between "prisoners" and "people".
In the blank space, there must be a path that no one can take.
Such as birds, cats, snakes, etc.
Zheng Xiu still doesn't know why "foreign people" and "doorways" exist, why they can master all kinds of miraculous arts when they see the doorways, and why people who are born as aliens can master strange arts by nature. Now this is a question without an answer. In this world,
The only person who knows the answer to this question may be "Zhu". Zheng Xiu is very curious about what Zhu saw at the end of his journey a thousand years ago, which made him so afraid of "eternal darkness".
Thinking of Zhu, Zheng Xiu's face turned cold. There was one thing Zheng Xiu didn't say. In this case, Wutong Shen, Brothel, Lanhua, Xianggu, the interlocking clues, this familiar technique, made Zheng Xiu involuntarily
It is related to the layout technique of "candle".
In "The Cannibal Painting", Zheng Xiu personally experienced what happened during the two hundred years and two "hundred years" that were unknown to the world. If anyone in the world understands Zhu's methods, Zheng Xiu dare not say
He knows Zhu the best, but he must be one of the people who knows Zhu the best.
Thinking that there might be a shadow of "Zhu" behind this case, Zheng Xiu felt anxious and excited at the same time. It was late at night, and the anti-pornography brigade passed through the town and arrived in front of Yanchun Tower.
Two girls, about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing heavy makeup and pretending to be alluring, stood in front of the building to attract customers.
The anti-pornography team, a combination of men, women, old and young cats, is eye-catching, and the two girls soliciting customers can't help but look at them.
Zheng Xiu touched his forehead and passed a [Detection].
A "proficient" level [Reconnaissance] rarely fails. In an instant, all clues are invisible in Zheng Xiu's eyes.
Pink mist lingered loomingly around Yanchun Tower, floating strands inside at the entrance. Zheng Xiu stretched out his hand to explore the "pink mist" invisible to the naked eye, and came to the conclusion of "the scent of orchids".
