Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 96
Snakes, big and small, looked at each other, spitting out snake letters from time to time, and no one made a sound for a long time.

Liu Juanzhi put down his teacup, and glanced at them coldly, the snakes were so frightened that they shrank their heads and did not dare to look up at their master.

I looked at these snakes with great interest, seeing their awkward appearance, without thinking about it, I knew that it was probably not good for their work, and none of them dared to open their mouths.

"Qi, Qi to my king... Heihua has something to say." After a long silence, a cauliflower snake with thick wrists moved its body, curled its slender tail around a small snake's neck, The black-spotted snake behind it pulled over.

The black-spotted snake was caught off guard and pushed to the front. Seeing this, the snakes behind all backed away instantly.

Liu Wangzhi watched the snake condescendingly, with no emotion in his eyes, but the snake shrank its tiny body and shook like a sieve.

Hei Hua, who was dragged out to be a "head snake", looked unlucky, stiffly turned back to look at the brothers in the mountain, then took a bold and cautious look at his lord, and then put the snake's head on the ground, stuttering Said the snake language: "Hui, Hui, my king... the little one, the little one has seen that girl."

"Well, where is it?" Liu Wangzhi put one hand casually on the side of the table, waiting for the little snake to answer.

The little snake Heihua raised his head, his eyes a little dodged: "It's not...you mean, I've seen her before." After thinking for a while, he continued, "It was about three days ago, and the little one was in the valley. I saw the girl you mentioned. She stayed with a boy who was about her age. At that time, the little boy was full and digesting. He accidentally slipped past her feet, and she was... The boy next to me beat me with a stick..."

Heihua looked down at her own tail, and spat out the letter in aggrieved way, "Fortunately, the little one slipped away fast, otherwise my life might be in danger..."

"That's it?" Liu Wangzhi didn't bother to look at its tail, bent his knuckles and tapped the table, "And then, where did he go?"

Heihua put her tail back, tilted her head and thought for a while, and said: "They seem to have entered the depths of the river valley, to the ghost abyss on the back mountain of Shenyuan, and I haven't seen them since then. Couldn't come out."

The cauliflower snake that pushed it before suddenly said: "What Heihua said is true, the little one has seen them, and indeed went to Guiyuan..."

Another little yellow snake couldn't sit still anymore, and came out and said: "I tell my king, the little one also saw that girl, they have been in Guiyuan for several days."

These snakes began to chatter and chatter, no doubt many snakes had seen Xu Wanqing and a boy enter the depths of the valley a few days ago, and then never appeared again.

Where they disappeared seemed odd, though.

I frowned and asked these snakes: "So, what is the ghost abyss you are talking about?"

The group of snakes suddenly quieted down, and they didn't make a sound again.

Liu Juzhi pressed Bai Ruoyu's fingers against his chin, and casually threw a ball of spiritual power at the little snake: "Hei Hua, tell me."

Heihua was nourished by spiritual power, and her body grew up in an instant. Suddenly, she raised her mung bean-sized eyes in surprise, and said with reverence: "Return to my king, Guiyuan is the one where the Shen family in Houshan held the bone river sacrifice." There is a defensive formation there, and it is difficult for us to get in, but all the snakes that slipped in never came out again."

The cauliflower snake also echoed: "Yes, my king, that place is quite evil. From a distance, the black mist is surging, but when you get close to it, it is full of hostility. There are often crying ghosts and wolves howling at night, and the location is just behind Shen's Villa. , sandwiched between two peaks, so it is named Guiyuan.”

Didn't expect that there is another place for sacrificial ceremonies in this river valley besides the white bone river beach that I saw that night?And from the description of these two snakes, this ghost abyss seems too terrifying. Why is there such a place in the back mountain of Shenyuan?
Liu Wangzhi and I looked at each other silently, we read suspicion from each other's eyes, and were about to ask about the specific location of these snakes and ghosts, when there was a sudden knock on the door of the wing room.

"Who?"

"It's me, Shen Lian."

It turned out to be Miss Shen.But now it's already this time, what is she here for?
I supported the edge of the table and stood up, walked to the door and opened it, Liu Wangzhi waved his hand lightly from behind, and the snakes quietly retreated out from the gap under the eaves and windows.

The carved wooden door opened inward, and the delicately dressed Miss Shen stood in front of her with a smile.

"Miss Bai, please don't blame me for interrupting you so late. I still have a lot of body warming soup for my dad, so I thought I would also send a copy to Miss Bai." Before I could speak, she had a slightly sarcastic look Chin signaled the maid to come over, and then handed the tray containing the soup cup and snacks to me, before smiling at me, "This soup is very nourishing, but my craftsmanship is not good, please bear with me."

I looked down at the food on the plate, was startled in surprise, then took it with both hands, raised my eyes to look at Shen Lian: "Thank you Miss Shen for your kindness, then I will be disrespectful."

Shen Lian curled her lips and smiled, but her eyes kept looking behind me. Seeing that I was staring at her intently, she pretended to look away unintentionally, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and lowered her head to cough, then raised her eyes to meet my gaze: " Miss Bai, has Lord Snake stopped?"

Interesting, the guy said he was bringing me soup this evening, but he actually came to see Liu Wangzhi, right?

The snake didn't know what to say to the person, I only had to leave for a stick of incense, and I kept him awake at night, just fascinated by him.

Shen Lian rubbed the handkerchief, with impatience between her brows.I held the tray without moving, and slightly hooked the corner of my lower lip: "He's not asleep, do you want me to call him for you?"

"Yes, is it possible?" Shen Lian immediately stretched her brows, a faint pink glow appeared on the side of her face, and her pale complexion looked much better.

"Of course." I looked at her without changing my face, the smile disappeared from the corner of my mouth, and I sent a message to the room coldly, "Liu Wangzhi, Miss Shen is looking for you."

Smelling the clear aroma of plants and trees approaching behind me, I turned around with my arms crossed, brushed past the snake, and sat down at the table to eat slowly, not bothering whether the two of them were going to spend the next month or two. Eyebrows.

"Mr. Snake, I have something to do with you..." Shen Lian raised her head and glanced at Liu Wangzhi, she was so surprised by that naturally breathtaking face that her breath became stagnant, she quickly lowered her head and fiddled with the handkerchief, blushing softly Said, "Tomorrow at noon, my father will host a welcome banquet in the main hall, and my uncle and aunt will also come. The reason why I came to you is to let you be prepared. After all, every time our Shen family holds a banquet, there will be troubles." Some things, I will tell you in advance, so as not to disturb you..."

Oh, I came here to inform Liu Juanzhi.Didn't realize that Miss Shen is really considerate.

I was stirring the soup with a spoon, when I heard this, I was almost certain that Shen Lian had taken a fancy to this snake in all likelihood, and didn't treat him as an outsider at all.

"Yeah, I've made up my mind." Liu Juanzhi was indifferent, and he closed the door with both hands after speaking, "Is there anything else?"

Shen Lian suddenly raised her eyes to look at Liu Wangzhi, was slightly stunned, and shook her head lightly while clutching the handkerchief.

Liu Wangzhi smiled lightly and sent the man away.

After closing the door, he returned to his original position and sat down. He looked at me with those calm eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything unusual about you and Shen Ting going out together today?"

I thought he was going to tell me about Shen Lian, but I didn't expect to ask this.I took a mouthful of the soup and brought it to my mouth, and said to him casually: "No, except that he didn't let me follow him when he entered the palace of the king of hell, it was normal at other times, and he also acted as my guide back to the underworld, I thank him. "

Liu Wangzhi heard the thorn in my words, but he didn't point it out, he picked up the apple on the tray, changed his knife to sharpen it, and said in a calm tone: "Well, besides the Yin officials, who else has he contacted?" ?”

I was chewing a piece of black chicken, and suddenly thought of something, I couldn't help frowning: "No, he didn't contact anyone else, but I... I met a weird person."

"Oh? What a strange way." Liu Wangzhi didn't raise his eyes, and answered casually.

"It's just weird. It's an old lady in white who sells flowers. She suddenly appeared and said a bunch of inexplicable words. Before she left, she even gave me a flower."

Liu Wangzhi's apple-peeling knife stopped suddenly, and even the fingertips holding the handle of the knife turned white from too much force.

"Guess what." I didn't pay attention at all, and said while drinking the soup, "The flower turned out to be the other shore flower, just like the one carved on the blood coffin, bright red and very fragrant."

"I originally wanted to bring it back to the underworld for you to see, but after my soul returned to my body, I just..."

"Bai Tingyue." Liu Wangzhi slapped the knife on the table, and the apple in his hand rolled to the ground, "It's not good for you to stare at anyone. Take a bath when you're full, don't delay my rest."

He stood up expressionlessly, didn't even give me an extra look, turned around and walked to the back room, his slender back disappeared behind the swaying bead curtain.

I watched the cold and indifferent back until it disappeared, and slowly let go of the hand holding the soup cup, feeling a little bewildered.

It's like this again, suddenly you say turn your back and turn your back.

What an uncertain snake.
