The public security in Kyoto is good, and there are many nobles who choose suitable foundations to build their houses in beautiful places in the suburbs. It is common to have private houses in the suburbs.
Su Qing followed Xuanji out of the carriage. The villa's area was not large, but the house was really weirdly built.
The front yard is very small, similar to the yard of an ordinary farmhouse. The door of the house is so small that adults have to squat down to enter. The door is also made of black iron.
The yard is covered with weeds as high as a person's calf, and some vines follow the pillars and climb up the eaves, making them look lush and green.
Walking into the yard, Su Qing's eyes were immediately attracted by a bright red flower among the weeds.
"Wait a minute." She reminded in a low voice, pointing to the flower: "That one seems to be the Netherworld Snake Flower."
"Netherworld snake flower?" Xuanji vaguely seemed to have heard of this kind of flower, but couldn't remember it for a while.
"That's right, that's the Nether Snake Flower. It's a plant with a highly venomous snake coiled around its head. Look at the flower, it's not a flower at all, it's a few snakes."
Su Qing could tell after taking a closer look. This venomous snake was bright red all over and had a very thin body. It was coiled on the green leaves. If you didn't look carefully, you would subconsciously think it was a flower.
Su Qing reminded Xuanji immediately.
"I have read about this thing in the book." Su Qing frowned suspiciously: "It's strange. The book says that these things are lingering in groups, but there is only one here."
However, that single flower is composed of more than a dozen small venomous snakes.
"Obviously someone raised it specially." Xuanji glanced at her lightly: "There may be someone staying here, following me."
Su Qing shook her head: "This thing is easy to feed. It can live well without special care. They eat the leaves of flowers for a living. This kind of plant grows very fast and is not afraid of severe cold and heat. Just one plant can do it."
It’s enough for these dozen little snakes to live on.”
Live life...
She described it so kindly.
Seeing that he didn't seem to take the little snake seriously, Su Qing reminded anxiously: "Although this snake is a vegetarian and will not attack people easily, their feces are highly poisonous and have very strong penetration ability. Normal plants can
How can you survive under the severe poison, but look at the weeds in this yard."
Only then did Xuanji pay attention. She lowered her eyes and found that the hem of her clothes had been cut by weeds in the yard at some point.
These look like ordinary weeds, but after looking at them, I realize that the weeds here are not the same as those in the suburbs.
The leaves of some grasses have very fine serrations that you won't notice unless you look carefully.
This courtyard alone is a barrier. Without Su Qing's reminder, Xuanji wouldn't have known the clues here. If he got into a fight with someone, he would probably be poisoned if his skin was accidentally cut by weeds.
He turned around and picked up Su Qing. Under her angry gaze, he explained calmly: "These plants can hurt people."
Wouldn't it be dangerous if she walked around here?
Su Qing could not hear this, but the yard was not big, so he quickly put her down.
She couldn't always be on the same page with him. Although she felt repelled, she didn't say anything.
I saw him taking out the key and opening the iron door. The iron door was very thick. He pushed the door open and it was pitch black inside.
Su Qing went to look at the windows. Originally, she was curious about the need to build a door with black iron when there were so many windows.
After looking at it, I discovered that these windows actually have mechanisms!
If she touched it, countless hidden arrows would immediately shoot her into a sieve.
Although the mechanism is very simple, it can take advantage of people's psychology. Just imagine, if someone wants to find out what is going on and finds that the front door cannot be entered, of course they will want to enter through the window.
When in a hurry, people's judgment and observation skills will decline, and you will be tricked if you are not careful.
Xuanji had already entered the iron gate. Su Qing glanced at it and ignored it. She turned to look at the vines. Xiao Hei jumped out of her sleeves and ran to play in the courtyard.
Climbing up the eaves along the vines, Su Qing was so frightened that her face turned pale!
"Oh my god!" The vines took root on the eaves, and there were many bones wrapped around them!
There are so many bones on the top of her head!
Su Qing's scalp was numb, and she endured the discomfort and continued to explore carefully.
She had no intention of going in with Xuanji. After all, she had plenty of money now and was not interested in the wealth of the Ghost Pavilion.
However, after waiting for an hour, Xuanji still hadn't come out.
"Xuanji?"
"Xuanji, what are you doing inside?" Su Qing approached the iron door, poked her head in and looked around, but what she saw was pitch black.
Although he realized that something was wrong, Su Qing did not want to take risks for Xuanji. But time passed by and the sun was setting, but he still did not move.
"Xuanji, can you hear my voice?"
"Xuanji big idiot?"
"Old pervert? Idiot? Stupid, mentally retarded? Ugly monster...die...die the eunuch? Xuanji, die the eunuch!"
Su Qing called out tremblingly, but no one answered: "Yeah, there's no response at all. It seems like I really can't hear you."
Xuanji is really dead, which is not a bad thing for her.
Su Qing's first reaction was to leave him and go back to the city!
But as soon as he took a step, his steps became too heavy to move.
Xuanji is a bastard, but it seems very unjust to leave him behind.
Su Qing hesitated and returned to the small iron gate, putting her head in: "Xiao Hei, is there any danger inside?"
"Meow."
Xiao Hei stumbled in and looked natural, not looking like he was in danger.
Su Qing hesitated for a while, and then went to the carriage to search. There was actually a torch prepared in the carriage. She took the torch and was about to turn around when she suddenly saw movement in the distance!
Someone is coming?
Is it the remaining power of the Ghost Pavilion?
Su Qing quickly entered the iron gate, and the cat peeked behind the wall.
Soon the group of people entered the yard. "This house is so strange."
"I just saw someone running into the house, probably Su Qing."
Coming for her?
A group of people quickly locked their eyes on the iron gate and came straight over.
Su Qing backed away cautiously, ready to let Xiao Hei bite them to death at any time.
However, these people were only halfway gone when one of them suddenly screamed.
"ah!"
"What's wrong?"
The companions were startled, and then, a shocking scene happened.
The person who screamed suddenly started to go crazy and smiled lewdly at his companion: "Tui'er, just obey me."
"I'm wiping, what are you doing?"
"Scare! If you dare to kiss me again, don't touch me!"
The person who was attacked by his companion was disgusted and angry, but soon he became the same person as his companion.
"From today on, I am the eldest prince's confidant!"
Others realized there was a problem, but had no idea what was going on here. They ran around in the yard and ended up provoking the little snake...
