The twenty-ninth chapter: turbid and difficult to clear
Actually, there’s nothing strange about it, right? After thinking about it, it’s not really a big problem.
Maybe someone had told him about the identity of the Pavilion Master, or even heard about it. After all, although the three of them had never seen the Pavilion Master's true face, didn't they all know who she really was? Not surprisingly, Ye Lingyu was very interested in Han.
Zhang said this. This is not something that cannot be said. The Shadow Pavilion has existed for hundreds of years, and it is not known to everyone. It is also an open secret.
Han Chang probably figured it out and stopped pursuing the matter. But after a while, he remembered another thing.
"The person Lao Xie mentioned just now is not someone worth remembering for me. On the contrary, it was the boy from the uninhabited village who impressed me the most."
"You mean Feng?" Xie Zhe asked.
"Yes, it's him. We have been busy traveling these days and haven't talked much. Now that I have some free time, I think of it again. Did I forget to mention that I saw a mark on his neck?
Strange mark?"
"Mark?" Ye Lingyu's eyes were full of confusion, "The movements between you were too fast at that time, and you could still see something clearly on his body? You really have good eyesight."
"It's a pity that my memory is not very good." Xie Zhe said casually.
"What are you talking about? Didn't I just remember it?" Han Chang curled his lips and turned to Ling Huan and said, "Actually, if it was completely dark, I wouldn't be able to see clearly. I can notice it because the mark is on
Glowing. A very special red light, neither dark nor eye-catching. I can occasionally see a clear red dot that flashes with his moves and movements."
"Do you remember what it was like?"
"Because we are always moving, we can't see clearly what it looks like. I just feel like a flower."
"Hua Tian?" Xie Zhe thought for a moment, "What is that?"
"...You don't even know this?"
"It's a decoration that girls would put on their eyebrows." Ye Lingyu explained briefly, "But why is it on a little boy's neck?"
"Hua Dian? What's so special about that Hua Dian? Apart from the fact that it glows."
"I haven't noticed anything about this. To be honest, we don't know whether he is Maple or Maple's phantom. The evil energy on his body is too strong, and I don't know if it has something to do with the mark."
"Spell?" This was Xie Zhe's first reaction.
"Not sure."
Ling Huan thought for a while and asked: "When we see him on weekdays, he never has that mark. Could it be that when the mark appears, it means that he has lost his mind and can't control himself?"
Han Zhang was just agitated and felt that what she said made sense. But then he thought again and said:
"That's not right. Have you forgotten? On the first night, the man who broke into the house appeared at the same time as Feng in the house. What's more, when he was in the same room with us, there were still people outside the house causing chaos. I tend to
I think they are independent."
Ye Lingyu sighed softly.
"It would be great if this were the case. In this case, maybe he has escaped."
Instead of being killed in the cold fire.
After that, they never mentioned it again.
After the three of them had their meal, they walked around the magistrate's house. There were no servants here, only those men in black with suspicious identities. They usually came and went without a trace, and the whole courtyard seemed empty, but they got lost.
, or accidentally reached the point where it shouldn’t have been
Wherever I go, people like this will suddenly appear as a reminder. The voices of these people are different, and they should not be the same person. It seems that there are many such people in this house alone. Lanling Town
There should be many in other places as well.
"This place is really big. I wonder where the wife of the magistrate is now."
Xie Zhe glanced sideways at the old fox, not hiding the disdain in his eyes.
"Hey, I saw it. What's that look in your eyes? I just want to ask."
"This place is so big and so deserted, it's probably difficult to meet her." Only Ye Lingquan analyzed seriously, "Maybe she and Magistrate Fei were both in the house and didn't come out."
The flowers and plants in the courtyard are ordinary, similar to the arrangements of most wealthy people. This area is very close to Qinglize, and the climate is not much different. There is no snow here in winter, at most there is light rain, and it is cold.
Flowers often bloom, but there are few varieties. Most of the plants in the yard have leaves of different shapes. What surprised them was that Ye Ling
Almost every kind of grass and blade can be named. Most of them are common flowers, but in other seasons when they are not blooming, people will definitely not recognize them. She said that her mother likes to mess with flowers and plants, and she does not ask anyone to do it specially.
Throughout the year, she would go digging in the fields whenever she had free time. Her father told her it was "indecent" countless times, but she finally ignored it. She followed her mother and learned many things.
The most valuable thing in the magistrate's house is the pond of koi carp. The colors of each fish are not random, they are all carefully selected, and any one caught at random has its own characteristics. There is a pure gold carp,
The symmetrical gills on both sides are red, like the two gills on a girl's face
red; there is a red and white one, the front half is pure red, and the back half is pure white, with clear boundaries; there is also a black one, with a round white ball on the top of the forehead, like a bald scoop. Except for the koi,
There are many aquatic plants, shrimps and crabs in the pool. Compared with the coldness on the shore, the pool is really lively.
"Look at that one..." Ling Huan suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at a lone fish in the distance, "Is it injured?"
Indeed, that fish does not seem to be very gregarious, maybe it swims too slowly. If you look closely, it is quite beautiful, it is a three-color koi. But the colors are also very particular, not a mixture. It
The main body is black and white, as if it has been smudged with a special ink painting and embellished with red. Unfortunately, its tail seems to be injured, its balance is poor, and it cannot follow the large army to swim around in time to fight for food. It looks like it has been injured.
For a while, it looked like it hadn't eaten for a long time because it had no energy.
Its speed was getting slower and slower. At this time, a turtle came up from behind. Then the second, the third, and more and more turtles appeared, they were in groups,
It launched an attack on the lone fish. The koi struggled violently, but its strength was limited, not to mention that there were many turtles, so any struggle was in vain.
"Hey, what can we do!" Ye Lingyu was a little anxious, "This fish is really pitiful..."
"Besides, this pattern is also very expensive, isn't it? Will someone come and drive away those turtles, fish it out and recuperate alone? If it's too late, it will turn into a skeleton!"
Han Chang looked around, and at some point a person suddenly appeared behind him. He was a little surprised, but then he was ready to explain the situation to him. The man in black clothes stretched out his hand and stopped Han Chang's explanation, as if he already knew the cause and effect.
.
"Survival of the fittest is the law." His tone was flat.
"But no matter what, this is still the property of Feizhi County, right?"
"It's not that much money. It's nothing unusual for the weak to eat the strong, so don't be surprised."
"..."
The three of them didn't know how to answer. Is this what the magistrate of Fei meant? They heard the water splashing in the pond for a while, and the sound became weaker and weaker. After a while, the movement completely disappeared. Ye Lingyu never dared to go into the pond.
Look, he just stared blankly at the emotionless man in black. The man stood there for a while and then left. Ling Huan continued to stare at the open space.
Han Zhang shook his head, and then looked into the pond with Xie Zhe. The fish was torn apart alive and eaten into its belly. Even if its belly turned white, it struggled nervously twice until it was divided up.
Finally, the remaining wreckage attracted some shrimps and crabs, bit by bit.
The flesh foam no longer floated. Even though it quickly became clean and left no traces, Han Shan still seemed to be able to smell the blood in the air. He didn't know what to say, but suddenly felt that the entire hospital was cleaner than he had felt before.
It's still colder. Maybe it's because the sun is going to set.
"...It's okay now." Xie Zhe tried to say to Ye Lingquan.
Ling Huan didn't look back. She just lowered her eyes and said softly: "I don't want to go shopping anymore, let's go back."
After dark, the courtyard became even quieter, even lifeless. Ling Huan went back to her guest room and said nothing more to them. In the past, she would stay in the two young masters' houses chatting until very late, unless
She was really tired that day. She didn't walk much today, but she didn't have much to say.
Early the next morning, Han Zhang pushed Xie Zhe out of the guest room, and together they knocked on Ye Linghua's door. They knew that the little girl had a delicate mind and would not tolerate fighting. The real world is always
It is too cruel, and the survival war between animals is just another projection of the world. It might be better to be exposed to such things early.
She got up early. She was sitting by the bed and packing her things. Now she opened the door for them with a stern face and sat back down. She was fully dressed, but her eyes were a little dark. The two looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything more.
, but I was thinking in my heart, Miss Ye didn’t sleep well because of this, right? Although it seems a bit exaggerated, the fish died miserably, it is a fact.
She took a wet cloth and was wiping the agate xun.
"Can we successfully find the Shadow Pavilion?" she said suddenly.
Oh... It seems that in addition to the koi matter, she may also be thinking about the Shadow Pavilion. This will directly determine the future fate of her cousin, and it is indeed more worth suffering from two more bags under the eyes. Xie Zhe is actually ordinary.
He nodded and said:
"It's not difficult. Mutsuki-kun told me how to find the portal to the Death Shadow Pavilion."
"Well, don't be too nervous." Han Chang comforted, "Look at me, I haven't even thought about what to prepare. Your chances of winning are better than mine."
Ye Lingquan just opened his mouth, but closed it again. He probably didn't know what to say. At this moment, Magistrate Feixian walked in. He held the sealed letter in his hand and walked forward with a smile.
"I saw that there was no one in the gentlemen's guest room, and I saw that the door was open, and I thought you must be gathering in the girl's room. I... what is this?"
When Magistrate Fei came closer, he saw clearly what was in Ling Huan's hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ah, this is..."
"How come there is such a big onyx? Let me see it quickly!"
The magistrate of Pi suddenly stuffed the letter into his sleeve, no matter how it was folded. He snatched the agate, looked at it carefully in his hand, and kept muttering in his mouth:
