Chapter 159 Monsters
A bright lantern reflected two figures, one in front and one behind, walking up the dark narrow road.Xiao Muyan hid behind the rockery and observed quietly. The two of them were dressed in the casual clothes of the palace guards.

One person was walking in front with a lantern in his hand, while the person behind was carrying a wooden barrel. It seemed that the wooden barrel contained very heavy items. Although he looked strong, the barrel was The person who fell was unstable, and he walked a little crookedly.

Xiao Muyan looked down at the blue water soul in his hand, and asked in a low voice: "Yue Ying, did that breath come from these two people?" The blue water soul flashed, and Yue Ying's voice sounded: "Yes, I The fluctuating spiritual consciousness is getting stronger and stronger, it is these two people, I don't know what kind of things on them have the breath of cloud beasts."

Xiao Muyan stared intently at the two people who were walking slowly, and the burly man walking behind kept complaining while walking.

"Old Xu, why do you think that monster can eat like this? It doesn't count that it needs to be fed four times a day during the day, but one more meal is added at night. We brothers have nothing to do all day long, but it is To feed that monster, if one day that monster goes crazy and swallows us up, wouldn't it cost us our lives?"

The man holding on to the lantern cut coldly, and said in a rough voice: "You kid, don't talk nonsense anymore, be careful not to wait until the monster swallows you, and the emperor will wipe out the nine clans, don't you know Every word you say now will be a death penalty if it is heard by others!"

He picked up the wooden bucket in his hand, spit on the ground, and said dissatisfiedly: "Old Xu, you are such a cautious person, you are always cautious in everything you do, we go back and forth in this garden several times a day, this Shi Chen is afraid that even ghosts will not appear here, let alone people! How can you be afraid of being heard by others!"

The face of the man carrying the lantern froze, and he said gloomyly: "I think you will die on your mouth sooner or later! Do you know how secretive we are doing every day? If it falls on you and me, even It’s irrelevant and you can’t help you refuse! This matter once rich and powerful, once dead! It’s all about implicating the nine clans, even if you sleep at night, you can’t say a single word about that thing!”

The man carrying the wooden bucket was slightly stunned for a moment, although he was impatient, but he knew he was wrong, and he didn't dare to refute any more, he muttered a few words: "I know, it's just that I can't say it! I won’t say a word from now on! Even if I’m beaten to death, I won’t be able to say anything, right?”

The man carrying the lantern did not look back at him, but walked slowly, and said in a lower voice: "This matter is an extremely secret matter, except for the emperor and the prince and other dignitaries in the palace, there is no No one will know, you have to be careful in the future, don't say this out of your mouth. You don't want to live, I want to live!"

The man said even more impatiently: "I know, I know, Lao Xu, your mother-in-law's character is getting more and more annoying. I don't want to lose this head on my head! But it's just for that monster. It’s all just a few meals a day, as long as I don’t let that monster eat me!”

The two gradually drifted away, Xiao Muyan came out from behind the rockery, her eyebrows turned, she lowered her head and said, "Yueying, I think the monster they were talking about just now must be the cloud beast, and these two people must be going to where the cloud beast is." Where, the cloud beast breath you mentioned must be emanating from the wooden barrel."

Yueying said: "Follow up and have a look."

Xiao Muyan nodded, her figure flashed, and her steps followed like a shadow, following behind the two of them like a ghost.Those two people walked through the back garden, and did not walk towards the East Palace, but walked out through the small gate on the side of the garden.

Xiao Muyan couldn't help but the two of them noticed, and suddenly jumped up the wall, and followed quietly behind under the cover of the night.The two of them passed through a small door, passed through another small door from a narrow passage, turned a corner, passed through another small door, and then entered a remote and desolate small courtyard.

This small courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and there are several dilapidated huts in the courtyard, all of which are surrounded by panicked weeds. There are only traces of people walking in front of the main house, and the pale moonlight is pouring on it.
The two of them entered the hut one after the other without stopping. There was no movement for a long time, and the two of them did not come out.Moon Shadow flickered suddenly, and said with a voice: "The aura of the cloud beast is getting stronger and stronger, maybe the cloud beast is nearby."

Xiao Muyan's eyes darkened, and she looked at the hut in front of her for a moment. Could it be that the cloud beast was really locked in this hut?But no matter how you look at it, this hut doesn't seem like a place where the cloud beast can be kept.

Xiao Muyan pondered for a moment, maybe there is another world inside?

She waited quietly for a moment, listening to the movement in the house, and there was no movement in the house, she just appeared and jumped off the wall, took a few steps outside the house, and took a look inside.

With the help of the pale moonlight, you will be able to see the situation in the house clearly. The house is dilapidated, the wardrobe standing by the wall, and the wooden table in the house are all covered with thick dust, forming layers of dust. There were layers of spider webs, and a few pieces of porcelain and a few benches were strewn about on the ground.

I don't know who used to live here?

Scanning the situation in the room, Xiao Muyan walked in slowly, but did not find the figures of the two people just now.Although I didn't see where those two people went with my own eyes, the footprints on the dust alone are enough to judge.

The footprints on the ground spread all the way to a wall in the back room. The wall was gray and dark under the ravages of time, but the pattern drawn on the wall was still clear, it was a picture of landscape, insects and birds.

It doesn't look special at first glance, but the eyes of one of the birds standing on the bamboo forest are not painted on, but a black pearl-like object is inlaid in it.

Xiao Muyan raised her hand to touch the eyes of the kingfisher, the black pearl exuded a cold breath, turned slightly in her hand, and actually sank, the wall turned over, and Xiao Muyan who was standing in front of the wall Bring it in.

There was a gloomy light in front of her eyes, Xiao Muyan closed her eyes and opened them again to get used to the dark light.A slender corridor appeared in front of the eyes, and every ten steps on the dark wall was a torch, but the flame of the torch was extremely small, and it just fluttered to illuminate the path in the corridor.

Moon Shadow flashed and said: "The cloud beast should be in front, its aura is getting stronger and stronger."

"I'm going to check it out now."

After all, Xiao Muyan held her breath and concentrated, her steps were extremely light, but she walked extremely fast, but in a short while she reached the end of the corridor, but there were three forks in front of her eyes.
