Money is really a good thing. That night, Ning Tao rented a courtyard not far from Tianwai Clinic. It was said to be the residence of a fifth-rank official in the Qing Dynasty. It had a main room, an east wing, a west wing, and a back room. The house, the door and the courtyard are antique and grand. Of course, the price is also impressive, with a monthly rent of 200,000 yuan.
If it was the previous "entrepreneurial period", Ning Tao would not be so extravagant to spend 200,000 yuan to rent a house, but now he is no longer what he used to be, and the rent of 200,000 yuan is nothing to him. Pressure, just give someone a breast augmentation and lose weight and you can make it back.
After the house was rented, Qing Zhui breastfed Hu Xiaoji, while Bai Jing and Jiang Hao allocated and decorated the rooms. Ning Tao sneaked back to Tianwai Clinic.
The Cauldron of Good and Evil closed his eyes and looked uninterested.
Ning Tao didn't bother to pay attention to it and went straight to the lock wall.
In fact, as long as he draws a blood lock, a corresponding blood lock will appear on the lock wall of Tianwai Clinic. For example, the blood locks he drew on ordinary prescriptions were a dozen blood locks overlapped together, forming a blurry blood mass. But once he tears off one and puts it somewhere, a corresponding clear blood lock will appear on the lock wall.
Each of the stack of ordinary prescriptions he gave Johanna had a blood lock drawn on it, and it was always on the lock wall, but it was also a vague blood mass that could not be opened. Now, a separated blood lock appears on the lock wall. It is very clear and can be opened.
Ning Tao took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. It was now 22:00 Beijing time. The time difference between the United States and China was twelve hours. When converted to American time, it was ten o'clock in the morning. Johanna called two hours ago, which was eight o'clock in the morning, American time.
After this, Ning Tao gave up the idea of going over to take a look immediately. Johanna probably called her after getting up, and he didn't know her environment. What if she was still in her room, or someone was in her room, and he suddenly appeared in her room or her office through a convenient door, wouldn't that scare people half to death
"I said I can do it tomorrow, so let's wait another ten or twenty hours. Doesn't it take more than ten hours to fly? I can use this time to make some preparations." Ning Tao thought in his heart, and then He opened a blood lock.
Two seconds later, Ning Tao appeared at the foot of a cliff in a dense forest near Jiange Village in Shennongjia.
Shrouded in darkness, Woyun Village is quiet. The villagers have the habit of going to bed early. Only two houses still have lights on.
Jian Mi's home is one of them.
Ning Tao walked along the stone road in the village to Jian Mi's house. A native dog ran out of its yard and wagged its tail at Ning Tao.
I don't know if it was the reason why Chen Pingdao bit him. Dogs rarely bite Ning Tao, but there are exceptions. For example, Teddy who called him a fool in the Hakka Alley of Guancheng that day is an example. There seems to be a reason for this because of the dog's temperament. After all, even among the same kind, dogs often quarrel and fight.
Ning Tao stopped and reached out to touch the dog's head: "Go back, don't follow me."
The Whisperer snowflakes, his voice carried to the earth dog.
The native dog's voice also sounded in his mind: "Give me a bone, I haven't eaten meat for half a month."
Ning Tao: "..."
Ever since he discovered that the Whisperer could translate dog language, he had always encountered this kind of wry smile.
"Forget it, it seems you haven't." Tugou turned and left.
Ning Tao's heart moved and he said: "By the way, Gouzi, have you seen any strangers recently?"
The native dog stopped and looked back at Ning Tao: "A woman came today. I have never seen her before."
"What does it look like?"
"Short, fat, and with a pockmarked face, he is uglier than my mistress," said the native dog.
Ning Tao smiled: "Thank you, Gouzi, I will bring you a bone next time."
"Great." The native dog ran away.
Ning Tao came to the courtyard gate of Jian Mi's house and observed through the crack in the door. There was no light in Aunt Jiang's room and she seemed to have fallen asleep. The light is still on in Jian Mi's room, but Jian Mi cannot live in his room. That room is now occupied by Hanks's widow Maria, who is not asleep yet.
After observing, Ning Tao jumped up, with a ladder at his feet, and quietly jumped onto the wall. But before he could jump down, a figure slipped out of the woodshed and crept towards the lighted room.
Ning Tao's first reaction was that there was a thief, but after taking a closer look, he stayed on the wall again.
The person who sneaked towards Maria's room was not a thief, let alone an assassin, but that boy Jian Mi.
What does he want to do
Ning Tao was filled with curiosity and squatted down to prevent Jian Mi from discovering him.
Jian Mi came to the door, stretched out her hand and knocked gently on the door.
The door opened, and a woman appeared behind the door, it was Maria. She was only wearing underwear, and her skin was so tender under the light. Although she is older than Jian Mi, her skin and figure are well maintained, and she can be regarded as a touching beauty.
The two looked at each other, and Maria suddenly reached out and pulled Jian Mi into the door, and the two were entangled at that moment. In the confusion, Maria raised one long leg and closed the door.
"Uh... why did Jian Mi get so close to Maria?" Ning Tao couldn't believe his eyes, but Maria's more exaggerated voice came to his ears, and the voice kept coming back. He was constantly reminded that this is real, um, this is real, ah, this is real.
But something even weirder happened again.
About a minute later, Aunt Jiang's door opened again. The mistress of the house put on her coat and tiptoed out of the dark room, then tiptoed under the window of the simple room to listen to the sounds in the room through the window.
Aunt Jiang obviously didn't hide under the window to listen to a certain sound. She seemed to eavesdrop to confirm a certain situation. It was like that. After she heard the noise coming from the house, she smiled and crept back.
Ning Tao couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Aunt Jiang, Aunt Jiang, you are probably the one who encouraged Jian Mi to do this, right? You, you, even if you are anxious to have a grandson, you still have to find a good partner for Jian Mi. Isn’t it inappropriate for a married young lady to find a widow? How can I take Maria to Italy if you do this?”
For about ten minutes, the room became quiet.
However, Jian Mi didn't seem to have any intention of leaving the room. Ning Tao squatted on the wall and waited for more than ten minutes, but he still didn't come out of the room.
After a while, some strange sound came from the room.
Ning Tao was speechless on the spot. He had come all the way to do business, but he didn't expect to encounter such a situation. He wanted to jump off the wall and knock on the door directly, but gave up after thinking about it. Jian Mi is a young man from the mountains. It is rare to meet a woman, let alone a foreign woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. It is normal for him to be a little greedy when he tastes the benefits, but it is not good to disturb others.
Ning Tao didn't want to squat on the wall and listen to the live broadcast. He was still a pure and pure man until now. The sound was very irritating to him and made him uncomfortable. He jumped off the wall and walked to the small temple at the end of the village.
The small temple was dark, and the wind blew through the old ginkgo tree at the entrance of the temple. The leaves of the tree were swaying, but the golden leaves fell down, which gave it a unique and sad beauty.
Before you know it, autumn is coming to an end.
Ning Tao stood at the door of the small temple, opened the small medicine box, took out a tactical flashlight and opened it. The bright beam shone on the statue of Shennong.
He is actually not interested in the statue of Shennong. The purpose of his coming here is still the woman in red. To this day, he still remembers the scene when he saw her here, every detail is vivid in his mind.
Suddenly, Ning Tao's eyes fell on the head of the statue.
This statue of Shennong has gone through an unknown number of years, and its facial features have become weathered and blurred. He remembered its appearance very clearly, but this time he found a crack next to its ear.
Ning Tao entered the small temple, walked around to the side of the statue, and shined a tactical flashlight on the statue's head. As a result, he discovered that the crack was very strange. It didn't look like a natural crack, but rather like the two parts that made up the head were loosened.
Ning Tao climbed up the altar and came to the side of the statue. Then he took out the solar eclipse blade and inserted it into the gap to pry it. With a soft sound, the back of the statue's head suddenly parted, revealing a hidden compartment.
Is there any secret hidden in the head of the statue
Ning Tao's heart was filled with excitement. He carefully held the back of the statue's head and moved it back, revealing every bit of the hidden grid.
As far as the size of the hidden compartment is concerned, it can roughly hold a book or something of similar size.
However, the secret compartment was empty, with nothing in it.
Someone got there first.
Ning Tao suddenly remembered what the native dog told him when he came here, a short and fat woman with pockmarks on her face. He secretly said in his heart: "The last time I came here, I didn't find any cracks on the head of the statue, but I found it this time. Could it be that the woman came to take away the things inside, but couldn't remove the head of the statue?" The whole body has been restored to its original appearance, leaving cracks? That’s probably the case, but who is she?”
No matter who he is, the person who can come to this kind of place to look for things is not an ordinary person.
Ning Tao pushed the back of the statue's head back and jumped off the altar. He awakens the smelling state of his nose and captures the smell here. But it was this capture that made him stunned on the spot.
He caught the scent of a woman, Tang Zixian.
This is normal.
Tang Zixian actually knew more about the civilization and ruins of the Yinyue people, as well as the magic circle than he did, so it was normal for her to find this place to take something away. Although she doesn't know what she took from the secret compartment of the statue, it must be related to the civilization of the Yinyue people. Although the ruins of the Yinyue people and the strange magic circle are buried underground, there is no guarantee that there is any secret passage that can lead to Yinyue City or that magic circle. Didn't Tang Zixian escape the last time the magic circle was activated
Tang Zixian obviously hasn't given up yet. She is still exploring and deciphering the secrets of the Yinyue people and the strange magic circle.
After confirming that it was Tang Zixian, Ning Tao turned around and walked back, even giving up on the idea of encountering the woman in red again.
