Chapter 126 Winding Four, Shadow Play, Don't You Smile! (2 in 1 large chapter)

"Then, do you want to return this painting?"

mountainside.

In the second half of the month, judging from the weather, there are still about two hours before sunrise.

Pieces of thick clouds floated over, gradually covering the bright moon, and the trees in the forest were full of shadows, making it slightly gloomy.

Looking at the picture scroll that Chu Susu held in both hands, neither Zheng Xiu nor Feng Bei knew what to say.

Ever since the old monk used the "Waiting Zen" to make them suffer a small loss, Zheng Xiu had no hope for Chu Susu's "stealing technique".

Whether it is Chu Susu's open stealing or blind stealing, although it is treacherous and unpredictable, there are traces to follow. Fengbei is careless twice, and will never be careless a third time. Zheng Xiu does not think that Chu Susu can learn from the old monk. He stole the painting from his arms.

However, the act of the old monk showing the picture scroll in front of Zheng Xiu unintentionally complied with Chu Susu's rules of "stealing openly".

Chu Susu admitted that she had a part in gambling.

She was right.

But this seems to be the wrong behavior.

Looking at the silent Zheng Xiu, Feng Bei took the initiative to take the painting from Chu Susu, untied the rope and carried the scroll on his back, saying, "It's okay, I will return the painting to the master afterwards."

Subtly, she gradually learned Zheng Xiu's "flexible" way of thinking.

"That's the only way to go."

Zheng Xiu nodded, in good conscience, he was indeed very interested in this painting.

If this picture scroll is so unimaginable, and there is a "world in the picture" hidden in the picture scroll that is equivalent to a ghost, as a "prisoner", Zheng Xiu must not miss it.

At present, there are two in-depth ways of the "Prisoner" approach that Zheng Xiu has explored. One is to contact ghosts and monsters, and the other is to upgrade the prison cell.

"Infernal Purgatory" is under construction, if he wants to do both, he has to paint the ghosts and creatures in the world in this painting.

Silently apologized to the master and so on in his heart, and under the twilight of the moonlight, Zheng Xiu led the way, and the three followed the path down the mountain.

On the way down the mountain, two ravens were circling in the sky, as if they were looking for something.

Feng Bei quickly recognized that it was Dou Xie and Yue Yan's raven.

really.

The three of them were walking on the mountain path. When they were about to go down the mountain, Yueyan walked through the woods, holding the crotch-pull bucket, stepped on the toes nimbly in mid-air, and landed in front of Fengbei and Zheng Xiu.

"You succeeded?"

Seeing the three of them going down the mountain, Yueyan vaguely understood something.

Zheng Xiu nodded: "Successful."

With a hook of ten fingers, Yueyan quickly retracted the "wire web" like a spider web in the mountain forest into her sleeve.

thump.

Dou Xie was thrown to the ground by Yue Yan.

"I'm curious, how did you succeed? That old monk is so difficult to deal with."

"It's hard to say, I'll talk about it when I go back."

Zheng Xiu turned his head and glanced at Chu Susu, who was wringing the corner of his clothes like a child who had done something wrong, with a disturbed face, and did not explain in detail how he got the cannibal painting.

Dou Xie got up from the ground, complaining about Yueyan's rude actions.

On the way down the mountain.

Zheng Xiu asked about the fire in Yunliu Temple.

Yueyan couldn't help laughing: "You don't think that we started the fire, do you?"

Zheng Xiu shook his head and denied: "You won't do it." Master Zheng silently glanced at Dou Xie, and added in his mind.

What I worry about is that the bear child is not sensible.

Dou Xie faintly noticed the deep meaning in Zheng Xiu's eyes, opened his mouth wide and pointed at himself.

Yueyan chuckled and explained: "We went up the mountain ahead of time and told the monks what we wanted, and then the master would not see us. I sneaked in, but was stopped by a sentence of 'wait a minute' on the stone steps. "Speaking of this matter, Yueyan's face became a little more depressed: "I never thought that such an expert would be hidden in a temple. The world is so big, there are so many wonders."

"Later, Dou Xie and I discovered that there were some vagrants around Yunliu Temple ready to move. I caught one of them and inquired about it for a while, only to find out that a few days ago, someone had spread rumors within hundreds of miles of Yunliu Temple, saying that Yunliu There is a treasure hidden in Liu Temple, which is an ancient painting by Gongsun Mo worth tens of thousands of gold. Ordinary Jianghu people don’t know the pros and cons of thaumaturgy, they are attracted here like flies smelling meat."

Zheng Xiu frowned when he heard the words: "Who released the news?"

He always felt that everything was too coincidental and unusual.

Yueyan shrugged helplessly, and pursed her lips: "This, Yueyan won't know."

Dou Xie covered his face wonderingly, stepped forward and asked: "The paintings are all in hand, so let's go back and return to our lives, no matter who releases the news."

Yueyan smiled sweetly: "Although this child speaks thoughtlessly, he is quite reasonable. Now that the painting has been successfully obtained, no matter who is stirring up trouble in the dark, we are the ones who benefit in the end. Anyway, I think it is also the same as those incomplete People can’t get away with it! Yueyan guessed that it must be the group of disabled people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos, and never expected that Master Waiting is so powerful, and finally let you succeed.”

Yueyan's expression was relaxed and full of spring breeze.As a typical office worker in Ye Wei Central, for her, when Feng Bei and Zheng Xiu successfully obtained Gongsun Mo's calligraphy from the old monk, the mission of this trip to Shuzhou was considered complete.

As for the colleagues taken away by the cannibal painting, this is not within the scope of Yueyan's concerns.

Fengbei didn't hide anything from Yueyan and the two, but revealed her and Zheng Xiu's deduction.

Said that the picture scroll is very likely to be a ghost, because when she witnessed the cannibal painting, she saw the waist card of "Heart Fox" on the treetop.Knowing this, Yueyan and Douxie were surprised. The awe-inspiring ghost was actually hidden in a picture scroll. Even in the case handled by Ye Weiyang today, it is a strange thing that has never been recorded.

Several people came together and went down the mountain, and they were about to arrive at Jiangjun Town.

They then had two choices, either to rest overnight in the general town and leave the city in the morning; or to rush back to the imperial city overnight to avoid accidents.

Chatting all the way and being vigilant at the same time, the five of them walked to the gate of Jiangjun Town on foot.

The city gate was wide open, and the city was quiet at night, and there was no sound.

After walking a hundred steps, Zheng Xiu suddenly touched his ears.

"There seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere."

Zheng Xiu frowned.

After a while, Feng Bei looked up at the sky, frowned slightly, and said softly, "It's too quiet."

Yueyan and Douxi didn't think anything was wrong at first, it was only reasonable for the city to be quiet in the middle of the night.But when Fengbei reminded her, Yueyan took a closer look at the atmosphere in the city and felt that it was too strangely quiet.

At this moment, there was no other sound except the wind.They walked hundreds of steps without even hearing a dog bark, it was really strangely quiet.

Yea!

Yea!

A closed door opened.

A shaky figure stepped out from behind the opened door.

The five people who entered Jiangjun Town stopped in their tracks. No matter how they looked at it, the changes in front of them seemed unusual.

In the blink of an eye, more and more people came out from the house, the alley, and the attic on the street that should have been empty. In a few breaths, the empty street suddenly became bustling and "lively" extraordinary.

It's just this kind of excitement, but it made Zheng Xiu and the others feel a chill behind their backs.

On the faces of the common people who came out, their eyes were squinted, and the corners of their mouths were grinning vigorously to their ears, maintaining a kind of exaggerated and weird "smile". On the face, there is no trace of life on their faces, they are not so much human beings as they are puppets like walking dead.

"Hee hee hee--"

"Hey hey hey-"

"My slave is here..."

"Guest officer, come and have a sip of hot tea!"

"Hee hee hee!"

Weird smiles The people's grinning smiles swayed from all directions.In an instant, the quiet street was filled with strange laughter, and the whole city was shrouded in a "joyful" underworld atmosphere.

The crowd was turbulent, rushing towards several people in fear.

Yueyan, Fengbei, Zheng Xiu, and Chu Susu subconsciously took a few steps back, leaving only Douxi who was at a loss standing in front.

It looked like Dou Xie took the initiative.

In the blink of an eye, Dou Xie was knocked down by the crowd, they still kept weird smiles on their faces, and stretched out their hands to pinch Dou Xie's neck.

"Woooooo-"

Dou Xie was immediately surrounded by dozens of people and crushed under him. He barely had time to read the textbook. Before he could read a few words, the handwritten book was snatched away by a hungry brothel elder and thrown out of the crowd.

I saw Dou Xie screaming, moaning, shy, crying and struggling under the dark shadows.I don't know exactly what happened.

The four retreated silently to observe for a while, in fact, Zheng Xiu and Feng Bei had already seen something was wrong, they felt that these people looked weird, but they were actually living people.Dou Xie took the initiative to verify this point with his own experience.

"They are... living people!"

Seeing that Dou Xie was about to be stripped of all his clothes, Zheng Xiu rushed into the crowd, punched and kicked away the weird people, held the Dou Xie in his hand like an eagle catching a chicken, and jumped onto the ground. roof.

Yueyan carried Chu Susu up to the roof, Chu Susu's eyes were sharp, she put her hand into her bosom, her wrist flicked, and the handwritten book lost by Douxi fell into Chu Susu's hand.

"What happened!"

Although Dou Xie was pushed down by a group of people and held his hands up and down for a long time.But for a while, the kung fu was only insulting, but it didn't do much harm.Dou Xie looked at the people surging on the street from embarrassment, and asked a disheartened question.The reason why he became angry from embarrassment was nothing more than that he felt that he was knocked down in a face-to-face, and Ye Weiyang Xingxiu's face was lost.

Except for Dou Xie, no one asked this question.

This is obviously a thaumaturgy performed by a thaumaturgy.

What they should think about now is who and what technique.

"Something's wrong, get out of the city first!"

Zheng Xiu made a judgment in an instant, and Feng Bei nodded in agreement.The people are controlled by inexplicable thaumaturgy, and they are still alive. If it is not the time when they have to, they are unwilling to commit the act of massacring the people out of conscience.

suddenly.

Zheng Xiu's [Intuition] was triggered, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.He turned his head suddenly, and saw a figure in black standing on the gate where they entered the city at some point, with a skull mask on his face, and the skull was covered with seven-color patterns. It looks very coquettish.

The mask was very much like that of a street performer.

The moment Zheng Xiu turned his head, the black-clothed and colorful-faced man smiled and took out a strange weapon from his waist.

The weapon is about two feet six long, and looks like a pair of scissors from a distance, shining coldly.

The man in black waved the "scissors" and swiped in front of him, only to see that the night was easily cut by the scissors like a piece of thin paper, and divided into two halves.The night divided into two halves was like two sharp gray light curtains, attacking Zheng Xiu and Feng Bei.

The black-clothed and colorful-faced man obviously came prepared, he used common people to disturb the sight of several people, and suddenly made a move amidst the confusion.The cut gray light curtain was extremely fast, almost the moment Zheng Xiu noticed the strangeness and turned his head back, the light curtain was already in front of him.

The strangeness of the people under control made Zheng Xiu dare not rashly accept the opponent's thaumaturgy.Thaumaturgy and thaumaturgy, in one word: odd.All kinds of strange thaumaturgy are hard to guard against. It is not wise to accept thaumaturgy without knowing the secrets of the opponent's thaumaturgy.

"Fengbei!"

Zheng Xiu and Feng Bei have established a sufficient tacit relationship along the way. Just as Zheng Xiu said two words, Feng Bei was startled and stretched out his palm towards Zheng Xiu.

"Snapped!"

Zheng Xiu and Feng Bei clapped their palms together, borrowing each other's strength, and flicked to both sides. The gray light curtain seemed to cut the whole city in half, separating Zheng Xiu and Feng Bei.

"Oh? Interesting, interesting!"

The man in black with a colorful face let out an exaggerated exclamation when he witnessed Zheng Xiu and Feng Bei's hands touching.But he didn't stop moving, and the scissor-like weapon in his hand was shot frequently, and the night in front of him was torn to pieces by his scissors.The torn night was forcibly divided into individual spaces, separating everyone.

At this time, Zheng Xiu suddenly felt the attraction from the body, and the distance of [Future Tour] was limited.The strange space torn out by the other party with the scissors seems to have weakened his "connection" with Fengbei, which affected [Shenyou] to some extent.

"I only heard that the monster is very fond of you, but I haven't heard that you can touch the monster without any harm. It's weird, weird, weird, who are you!"

The colorful-faced man in black jumped down from the city wall from a distance, and under his feet, black shadows spread out, paving several "shadow roads" in the air, and the colorful-faced man in black stepped on like this Following the road made of shadows, he quickly approached Zheng Xiu.

At this moment, Zheng Xiu was trapped to death by "black shadows" like high walls. The high walls of black shadows moved forward and backward, high and low, forcibly dividing the small space Zheng Xiu was in into an irregular room.

The five people who walked down from Yunliu Temple were separated by the high shadow wall. Because Yueyan and Zheng Xiu were relatively close, the two were separated together.

Zheng Xiu and Yueyan were silent at the same time.

The two stared at each other's chest at the same time.

The visitor was dressed in black clothes with cloud sleeves, with three words written in wild cursive on the chest.

——"Shangxian Si"!
The surprise on Yueyan's face could not be concealed, seeing the pattern on the opponent's chest clearly, she said in astonishment: "Shangxiansi, shadow play, you don't laugh...why?"

"Ah?" The handsome man called "Junbuxiao" by Yueyan spread his arms, and made an exaggerated questioning voice: "Oh? What's going on? Didn't you receive the secret mission from Yezhu?" Said After that, Jun Buxiao didn't let Yueyan answer, but waved downwards: "Little Tangtang, you didn't tell me about this. I thought these two stars belonged to us!"

Below, a shadow that looked like a wall covering "peeled off", revealing another man in black.He also wore black embroidered black clothes, with a black sheathed long knife hanging from his waist. Although he didn't have his code name tattooed on his chest as exaggeratedly as Junbuxiao, the black iron wood order on his waist Yu Junbuxiao's address made Yueyan instantly understand the identity of the person hiding behind the shadow curtain.

"Xiaxiansi, don't move the knife, Gu Qiutang!"

Gu Qiutang frowned, as if he felt unhappy at the words "Xiao Tangtang". According to Gu Qiutang, he didn't have an attack, but calmly replied: "The arrangement of Yezhu has always been unpredictable."

"Okay, I understand, I understand, I understand! Hehehe!" Jun Buxiao shook his head, and said a line three times in a tone like singing an opera, as if he remembered being trapped in " The two of them in the shadow play" laughed exaggeratedly from behind the painted masks: "Brother, don't panic, this time, our target is only that monster called 'Feng Bei', you just need to stand here obediently, Don't move, I'll keep you safe. Xiao Yueyue, although you're new here, you should understand that Ye Weiyang's style doesn't like to hurt innocent people... unless there is no other choice!"

Zheng Xiu, who had been silent since Jun Buxiao and Gu Qiutang appeared, suddenly changed his face, and slapped Yueyan on the chest.

"puff!"

Unprepared, Yueyan received a slap on her puffed chest, and let out a muffled grunt, blood gushing out from the corner of her mouth.

Zheng Xiu roared angrily, distorting his tone of voice because of anger: "You actually betrayed us!? You're going to die!"

Yueyan clutched her chest, let out a cry of pain, was slapped away by Zheng Xiu dozens of steps away, and hit the high shadow wall with her back, creating circles of dark ripples.

Yueyan looked at Zheng Xiu standing alone on the roof in disbelief, with a shocked expression on her face.

What surprised her wasn't that "Macho Zheng Shan" shot at her.

It's not because the hunk Zheng Shan slapped her chest.

It was because, in Zheng Shan's angry roar, the tone was weird and not normal.

Others will only feel that this person is emphasizing and distorting in anger and losing his mind.

But Yueyan, who has a dual identity, tasted a different taste from the changing tone.

It is a whistle that rarely appears in the secret whistle of the Zheng Brotherhood, but every Brotherhood Assassin will keep in mind the whistle - "Whistle to the back"!
Once someone blows the whistle, it means that the matter has come to an end, and the whistleblower will try to get rid of his relationship with the Zheng family!
The astonished Yueyan slid down from the shadow wall, lightning flashed in her heart in an instant, and she was extremely messy.

Why does Zheng Shan know so much about the secret whistle of the Brotherhood?

Why did he blow a "backwater whistle"?
What is he going to do?
　Ask for a monthly pass!
