Tang Zhou recalled what happened, from the time he entered the cemetery, to what he saw and heard in the cold well water last night, the more he thought about it, the more wrong he felt. The coffin of the former imperial concubine was in the stone room, and there was another passage behind it. In ordinary tombs, the coffins were often placed in the tomb at the end. Moreover, in the secret passage behind, there are broken dragon stones cast with black iron, and the decoration of the stone room at the end of the secret passage is too elegant, which is too incompatible with the cemetery itself.
After he and Yan Dan were trapped by the Broken Dragon Stone, it was Shen Xiangjun who came to find them. If the fact of knowing the bird's language is her own mouth, then she is very familiar with this cemetery. But who is Tao Ziqi? Is she really a woman with a vicious heart, as Shen Xiangjun said
Last night again, he already knew that what Master Shen said to him before was unclean and untrue, so can Shen Yijun's words be believed? The two of them have the same caliber on less critical matters, but they are completely different when it comes to the most important part. One of them must have told a lie, or both of them said a lie, so what is the key in this case
The truth has gradually become clear, and only a few clues can be revealed.
But what is the thread that leads to the truth
He was thinking slowly when he heard a few knocks on the door, and said casually, "Please come in." He heard a silver bell-like laughter. Holding a plate with a few bright red apples in it: "These apples are so beautiful that I couldn't help taking a bite when I saw them, but I was scolded by my sister, who said they were not clean." She said Put the apple on the table, and said with a smile, "I'll send it to you after I wash it, it's not dirty."
Tang Zhou looked at the plate of apples and shook his head: "I don't want to eat it yet, just wait a while."
Shen Xiangjun flattened his mouth: "Okay."
Tang Zhou suddenly asked, "Where did my junior sister go, why haven't you come back yet?"
Shen Xiangjun was stunned: "I haven't seen her, I'll ask my sister if she has seen her."
Tang Zhou thought that she wouldn't be able to get out of Shen's house, and there would be no accident, so he said, "Don't ask for it. Junior sister has always been naughty, and she doesn't know where to go to play."
Shen Xiangjun crouched on the table and looked at him without blinking: "I often play hide-and-seek with the birds, what will you play?"
Tang Zhou thought about it and said, "Catch monsters." Yan Dan was caught by him.
Shen Xiangjun asked again, "What about after you are caught?"
"... wait for the monster to escape, and then catch it back." This sentence is completely true, "Because there is a monster who is very articulate, so he has to accompany him to talk."
Shen Xiangjun was completely confused, and said blankly, "Really..."
Tang Zhou didn't know what to think, and suddenly smiled: "Occasionally, I will encounter that kind of demon who is very sophisticated, dog-legged, and can act like a spoiled child. When he speaks, he will only pick nice and irrelevant things."
Shen Xiangjun looked at him and couldn't help but said, "I don't think you're talking about monsters, but rather... I can't tell what it looks like. In short, monsters are definitely not that interesting."
Tang Zhou was slightly startled, and suddenly felt that the things in front of him seemed to be shaking. He forced himself to stand up, but his body lost the strength, staggered back a few steps and fell on the edge of the bed. Seeing him like this, Shen Xiangjun suddenly jumped up and ran out of the guest room, shouting, "Sister, come quickly, someone is sick here! Come and see!"
Tang Zhou bent his knees, but found that he soon lost the strength to move his fingers. He restrained his mind, gathered the last bit of strength, bit on the tip of his tongue, and a faint smell of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the door, Shen Xiangjun turned back and stretched out his hand to help him: "Where is your pain? Does it matter? My sister doesn't know where she went, I'm looking for her again!"
Tang Zhou smiled bitterly: "Why are you looking for her?" He couldn't move because he was drugged, but he couldn't figure out how he was poisoned. Looking at Shen Xiangjun's topsy-turvy behavior, he could only snort, she probably didn't know anything, and couldn't do anything.
Shen Xiangjun took his hand and tried his best to pull him up, but Tang Zhou was completely weak, and she couldn't pull him just by her strength, so he could only stomp his feet in a hurry, and after a while he said, "I Go find your sister again!"
After a short while, a slender figure appeared at the door of the room. Shen Yijun's face was gloomy.
Although Tang Zhou couldn't move, his heart was as clear as water: "So it was you." He would fall into the deep well last night, and now he can't move, thinking that it was Shen Yijun's hands and feet moving in the tea. She designed it so that he could hear and see what Mr. Shen did, and I'm afraid it was also a trick to make him fall into a trap.
Shen Yijun looked at him and nodded: "I know you will definitely come and see there, and I know you will see Daddy burying people there. You didn't believe him in the first place. After seeing this, you will only believe what I said. Isn't it?" She looked at Tang Zhou, her eyes eager: "I really like your soul so pure, I didn't want to treat you like this."
Tang Zhou watched her stretch out his hand and slowly slide his fingers on his face. At such a close distance, he could clearly see a mole on the corner of her mouth. I just heard Shen Yijun speak softly like water: "Young Master Tang, you have such a good appearance, as long as a woman sees it, she will like it, and I don't want you to become that dry and wrinkled look, but this is also impossible. …”
Tang Zhou smiled: "Why do you have to be shy."
Shen Yijun stared at him, a smile like a spring flower blooming on his face: "Do you like Xiangjun, or do you like me more?"
Tang Zhou was too lazy to pay attention to her, so he closed his eyes.
Suddenly I heard a soft, laughing voice close at hand: "Of course he likes you more, do you believe it?"
Tang Zhou opened her eyes and saw Shen Yijun's face was pale, trembling slightly, and said loudly: "Who are you? Are you a human or a ghost?" She stood up in a panic, looked around, but saw no figure, suddenly realized A wet hand touched her neck, and the voice just said with a chuckle, "I'm a ghost, a drowned water ghost..."
Shen Yijun wiped it around his neck, and saw a piece of slippery moss on his hands, and it seemed like he was hit by a whip: "Come out! Don't think I'll be afraid of you if you become a ghost!"
Tang Zhou heard that Yan Dan was talking, but Shen Yijun's reaction was too strange.
"I know you won't be afraid of me, and I don't want you to be afraid of me. If you're afraid of me, it won't be fun." Shen Yijun turned around twice, but she didn't see Yan Dan's shadow, but the other party seemed to be sticking to her General speaking. There were bloodshot eyes in her eyes, and she said loudly: "Come out to me, don't pretend to be a ghost!"
I just heard a faint sigh: "I'm not a human at all, so what should I do if I don't pretend to be a ghost? I should have seen you, after all, it was you who hurt me like this. But the way I look now is really ugly. When people see it, I will feel bad in my heart.”
Tang Zhou vaguely heard some doorway, Shen Yijun must have done something malicious to Yan Dan before, but she didn't know that Yan Dan was not a mortal but a demon.
Shen Yijun forced a smile and said, "I'm not afraid when you're alive, let alone after you're dead?" As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that a cold hand behind her touched her face, with wet, greasy moss. . She shuddered and turned around abruptly, only to see Yan Dan standing there, dressed in white, with water dripping from the tips of her hair, which was even paler against the white face, and her black hair was like ink. Yan Dan's eyes were slack, and she said gloomily, "I came out... I'll stand in front of you..."
Shen Yijun watched helplessly as she slowly stretched out her hand again, suddenly screamed, and ran away from her quickly, and accidentally stumbled on the ground when she ran to the threshold. Shen Yijun looked back, and was even more distraught: Yan Dan's movements were stiff, and he jumped over, like a corpse. She was so frightened that she had never imagined that a corpse could be transformed in such an hour or two, so she gritted her teeth and tried her best to move out.
Yan Dan watched her back disappear, raised his hand to pull back his long wet hair, and turned to look at Tang Zhou: "Senior brother, are you okay?"
Tang Zhou watched her slowly approaching, and then Shi Shiran squatted in front of him, with a three-pointed playful seven-pointed smile on the corner of his mouth, and slowly spit out a few words.
"I've searched all over the Shen family before I found this white coat, which doesn't fit so well."
Tang Zhou glanced at her and was speechless.
Yan Dan propped her chin and smiled softly: "Guess, who did I find this dress from?" She asked, seeing Tang Zhou turning her face away and ignoring her, suddenly raised her hand to squeeze his His face, slowly facing himself, pouted: "Senior brother, why are you ignoring others?"
Tang Zhou's face was calm, but his ears slowly turned red: "You—"
Yan Dan smiled sweetly, with bright eyes and bright teeth: "Tang Zhou, you treated me like this before, but now God has eyes, and finally let you fall into my hands." She approached, still smiled and said, "But before you settle the account. , I can tell you what you still haven't figured out."
Tang Zhou was silent for a while, then said lightly, "Since when did you start to doubt Shen Yijun?"
Yan Dan sighed: "Why don't you ask Second Lady Shen? Originally, there was only one Lady Shen in the Shen family, and there were no siblings at all. Haven't you found out yet?" She reached out and nodded her mouth: "Miss Shen There is a mole on the corner of her mouth, have you noticed? And Miss Shen also has such a mole on the corner of her mouth. Even if they are compatriots and sisters, no matter how similar they look, there will still be some differences. But the mole on the corner of their mouth does not matter. The location and size are the same. Even if you take a step back, do you really believe that Miss Shen is stupid? I think she is very smart and knows that she has messed up some things by understanding the language of birds. "
When Shen Yijun got close just now, he did see the mole on the corner of her mouth, but he wouldn't take a close look at it on weekdays. Yan Dan smiled slightly: "Do you still remember, what I said to you, I can understand Yu'er. I have said this truth so many times, and every time it is sincere, you don't believe it. "
Tang Zhou couldn't help but think, she said this sentence, as long as she didn't lose her heart, she wouldn't believe it.
"In the lotus pond in the courtyard, although the fish inside didn't know much, they told me something very important. In this Shen family, Master Shen and Miss Shen are not father and daughter at all." Yan Dan's eyes wavered. Turn, slowly said, "I saw them arguing in the flower hall before, and I had a strange feeling that they didn't look like a father and daughter. From this, I guessed that they must have a plan to move to Qingshi Town. , It must have something to do with the strange deaths of the people in this town. They slandered each other there. It can be seen that these two people must have hatred and want to use your hand to get rid of each other. It's a pity that you didn't fully believe what they said. And your soul happens to be very pure and tastes very good, so Miss Shen will do it first."
"After that, Miss Shen took you to the abandoned well in the backyard. I suddenly had a guess that the two Miss Shen might be the same person, so I went to confirm it immediately, and found the mole. But I still don't understand one thing, that is, What you see in the well, you think it's an illusion, but I think there must be other reasons. Later, I learned that Miss Shen has learned a kind of legitimation, and she will control her mind after looking at her. She made me comatose by this method, and then asked Sister-in-law Hu to throw me into the abandoned well." Yan Dan raised her wrist, the heavy bracelet on her wrist was gone, "she didn't know that she was She helped me a lot by accident. I told her that you gave me this ban to ward off evil spirits, and you can feel it if something happened to me. As a result, she helped me take off the bracelet and threw it away She's really good at deceiving, and even believes this kind of thing."
Tang Zhou whispered: "In this way, what she said before about understanding bird language is not true."
"Miss Shen is actually very stupid. She can't talk to any bird, but she likes to bring a parrot. I have a friend of the Feather tribe. She can imitate any voice. She once told me that parrots can be said to be the most beautiful in the world. The bird that can't speak anymore. So I knew from the beginning that all what she said was nonsense, so I guessed that since she is so familiar with the organs in the tomb passage, then it was she who put down the Dragon Broken Stone in the dark passage before. "Yan Dan said for a while, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped Tang Yiyi in the face, not too hard. "Although I am a demon, have I hurt you? Or do I owe you something? How did you treat me? For a Bully with a big brain, you almost killed my comrade!"
Tang Zhou looked at her without even frowning.
Yan Dan stood up slowly: "You owe my life now, how do you want to pay it back? But someone like you who likes to avenge revenge, might want my life instead, right?"
Tang Zhou said without hesitation: "I didn't think so."
She walked to the door of the room and looked back and said, "That girl Shen has been scared away by me. The medicinal properties of your body will soon pass. Brother, we will be indefinite in the future."
Seeing her stepping over the threshold, Tang Zhou suddenly said, "I have no power to fight back now. No matter who the Shen family turns around, wouldn't I be unfortunate?"
Yan Dan sighed, turned around and said, "That's why I have to leave at this time. When you have the strength to fight back, even if my ability is doubled, won't I be taken back by you?" she said. Here, there is a little more vigilance in his eyes: "Don't you want to delay time and wait for the medicinal properties to pass? I still have a lot of things to do, and I don't have the time to linger with you."
Just as she turned around and took a step, she suddenly heard Tang Zhou slowly calling from behind: "Yan Dan..."
Yan Dan turned around immediately, paying attention to his every move, with a flattering smile on his face: "Senior brother, the tea you drank before has soft tendons, and the medicinal properties last for an hour, and it is normal for you to be weak. In short, I You must take one step first, senior brother, you don't have to worry about me."
Tang Zhou looked at her and asked slowly, "Where are you staying? Maybe one day I can come to see you."
"...It's better for me to visit you." If Tang Zhou came to Kulan Mountain, he would only scare away a whole room of demons. Maybe the little wolf demon, Dan Shu, who is most afraid of ghosts, will change his fear of heavenly masters from now on. In an orderly manner, one day is a senior brother for a lifetime, how can I make my senior brother run around?"
"Xiangdu Tang Mansion, if you come to Xiangdu, just ask someone and you'll know."
Yan Dan stroked the cold hair that stood up, thinking that she didn't hear anything just now, and now she should hurry up and change into thicker clothes. She just walked away a few steps when she suddenly felt the wind sound behind her, she turned her head to look subconsciously, her forehead suddenly became cold, and she couldn't move, then she tightened her wrist, and a talisman paper was stuck upright on it. , turned into a heavy bracelet in Huaguang.
Tang Zhou retracted his finger on her forehead and said with a smile, "This time it's only a little short, and I'll come back next time."
