God, it's getting darker.
A third of the sun is covered in darkness, and the eclipse progresses surprisingly quickly.
If astronomical institutions conduct observations now, they will find that this is not a solar eclipse caused by the moon at all, what covers the sun is an unknown dark star that cannot be observed by existing astronomical equipment at all!
"Your original name was Xiahou Jiaoshi. It seems that you changed your name to Jiaoyan because of Lord Jin Yuan?"
"Yes."
"Do you know what is the point of changing the name?"
"I don't know."
"Xiahou's family belongs to the Taoist sect. In the division of the Taoist sect to the ten halls of the underworld, Yama is said to be in charge of the seabed, the so-and-so hell under the so-and-so side Wo Jiaoshi. This is the origin of your name. But you Since it is used by Lord Jin Yuan, the Lord does not want your name to be taboo, so I changed it."
"Why... say it's a taboo?" Even though he asked that, Xiahou Jiaoyan had already guessed a bit.
"After all... you are a member of the family. Isn't it?"
Clans, separate families, although they all have the surname Xiahou, but their status is worlds apart.
Finally... their destination has arrived.
An ordinary wooden house, just ahead.
"You immediately fence this place!"
Following Zero's order, the red-clothed servants took action one after another.
This time, Jiao Yan, surnamed Xiahou, should be the commander of the operation. However, those servants obviously listened to Ling more. From this point, it can be judged that Zero... is definitely not just as simple as a servant.
"Okay, let's go in and have a look." Then, Zero walked ahead.
At this time, those who are interested will find that the distance between Zero and Jiaoyan has been deliberately opened to five steps. Moreover, the footwork of the two is quite special, they walk very lightly, and they are ready to further increase the distance at any time.
This is what the script requires of the actors.
Obviously... Zero and Jiaoyan are wary of each other!
Finally, they came to the cabin.
The wooden house was not locked at all, and it opened with a slight push. Then, the two walked in.
According to Xu Qinghe, the map was hidden in a mezzanine under the rice tank in the house. But the rice vat happens to be the most conspicuous in the house.
It took a lot of thought to hide things.
"I'll get it."
But the moment Ling took a step, Jiao Yan stopped him.
"Zero, after all... you are just a servant. And I am from the Xiahou family."
"Separate family."
"The person who separates the family is also named Xiahou! It seems that the map should not be held by a servant like you?"
No matter how different Zero behaves, but the master is the master, and the slave is the slave!
The map of the underworld has always only been owned by members of the Xiahou family! If it wasn't for the purpose of preventing the patriarch Xiahou Dizang's eyes and ears from noticing the change, Xiahou Jinyuan would at least send one member of the clan to fetch the map!
Zero's complexion gradually sank.
"I'm sorry... the map, I want to present it to Mr. Jin Yuan personally. I guarantee my life and wealth, and I will never dare to lose the map!"
For a while, the scene became very silent.
"The more complete the map, the more meaningful it is to the family." Jiao Yan did not give in at all: "I will never give in on this matter. If you are a member of the clan, I have nothing to say. But..."
The implication is self-evident!
Xiahou Jiaoyan is an ambitious person after all!
Obviously, he is not satisfied with the identity of the separated family!
Zero looked at him silently, and then said: "What if, on this issue, I don't give in?"
In the discourse, the meaning of provocation is already quite strong. However, Jiao Yan did not show any signs of fear.
"The red-clothed servants outside, I know they all listen to you. But, I, Xiahou Jiaoyan, won't be unable to deal with even a few servants."
He especially accentuated the word "minion".
Zero's voice quickly turned cold: "Okay, then try."
After entering the room, Jiao Yan and Ling opened a distance.
Jiao Yan's hand slowly stretched out, and then... his hand quickly became rotten!
Then, he strangled towards Zero's neck!
Act fast, ruthless, accurate!
But since Zero was prepared, how could he let him get close
He dodged at an astonishing speed, and then, he went straight to the rice vat in the room!
Jiao Yan pushed forward again! On his hand, the bones protruded one after another!
The boy in red rushed to the rice vat, and smashed the vat to the ground! Then he suddenly turned around and grabbed Jiao Yan's rotten hand!
"Minshan is a natural vein of Yin Qi. It seems that you have put in a lot of effort."
Zero, it looks like he is taking his leisure time and waiting for work!
"It's a pity...it's not ready yet."
With a sudden squeeze of his hand, the rotten flesh on Jiao Yan's hand quickly began to fade away! A breath of yin and death, also returning to the underworld!
"You got one very important thing wrong."
"I'm just a 'servant', not a 'slave'!"
As soon as the words fell, Jiao Yan quickly withdrew his hand, then nodded and said: "I understand."
"Don't insist?"
"Persistence...is it useful?"
"That's right. My heart and nature meet my requirements." When Zero said this, his tone no longer had that cold tone: "Being a 'servant' of Xiahou's family is by no means forced by Xiahou's family. Also... you made a mistake. At my age, even the previous Patriarch is just a junior!"
Jiao Yan had no doubts about this sentence.
"Isn't that so? Xiahou Jiaoshi?"
"What did you... call me just now?"
"You are worthy of the name 'Jiaoshi'."
Xiahou Jiaoyan understood.
"Yes... I am Xiahou Jiaoshi!"
From now on, his name is Xiahou Jiaoshi!
"Xiahou Yewang must die."
"Why did he have to die, will you tell me?"
Zero bent down and rummaged through the broken rice vat: "Isn't the absurd part you know enough to explain the doubts in your heart?"
"Not enough."
"It seems... you have been preparing a two-handed plan. That's why you put the map in Xiahou Yuanshu's coffin. You are playing with fire, Jiaoshi!"
Jiao Yan... No, Jiao Shi answered firmly: "Wealth and wealth are found in danger."
Seeking wealth and wealth, just five words, has fully interpreted his psychology at the moment.
"Okay." Zero finally turned out a crumpled piece of paper from it, and then quickly put it away, "You just need to remember that killing Xiahou Night King is a hundred years for you." Benefit without harm."
When Zero said this, his gaze was fixed on Jiaoshi.
At this moment, Jiao Shi would no longer regard the other party as a servant.
He faintly felt that even the head of the family, Xiahou Dizang, might not be the opponent of this beautiful young man in red!
"Killing Xiahou Night King, I have a countermeasure."
Jiao Shi has been in charge of this matter. Total solar eclipse and dark marriage will be the best chance to kill Xiahou Night King. However, Xiahou Jinyuan repeatedly reminded him that he must choose the right time to act, and that the current Xiahou Night King still has value.
"Oh? With your level of cultivation, you can't kill Xiahou Night King."
"I know."
"Compared to this... If you really reach that step, you must never let Xiahou Night King meet 'him'."
"'he'?"
"Yeah, so..."
But just as the boy in red was talking about this, an unexpected thing happened.
From outside the window, a red-clothed servant suddenly rushed in, and then, a sharp dagger stabbed fiercely into his chest from behind him!
"you!"
And the servant in red, at this moment, snatched the map fragment and rushed out of the window!
"Stop him!" Zero ignored his injury, rushed to the window and shouted: "Catch..."
"This dagger..." Jiao Shi looked at the dagger that pierced Zero's chest, and said, "Yes..."
"Soaked in black dog blood and women's menstrual blood..." Ling said coldly: "Although it can only hold me for ten breaths, it is enough!"
Then he roared: "Quick! Go after him! Take back the map!"
Xiahou Jiaoshi nodded and rushed out immediately!
This plot was originally foreseeable after seeing it in the script, but because it was part of the red letter, it could only be tricked obediently. Now... the important thing is to get back the map!
Who is that servant in red
Patriarch? Xiahou Jinyuan? Or is it... Xiahou Night King
However, the servant in red was so fast that Jiao Shi couldn't catch him for a while!
And this time...
The sun, already halfway, was swallowed by darkness...
