Forbidden City

Chapter 107 Who's Behind the Scenes

At the end of the second floor, there is a small storage room, in which there are mops, brooms and other sundries.The reason why I didn't see my aunt when I went up to the second floor just now was because my aunt went into the storage room to get a mop.And the sound like clothes rubbing against the floor just now came from the aunt mopping the floor.

The aunt looked back at me and said, "Did you come yesterday?" I said yes.After asking each other's names, I learned that her surname was Huang, and she would come to do hygiene every morning.She asked me which rooms were occupied last night, and asked me to give her the keys, so she had to take out the quilt, pillowcase and other things inside to wash.

Since Aunt Huang is a staff member here, maybe we will deal with each other in the future, so I saved her mobile phone number.

After the aunt left, I saw that there had been no customers, so I decided to go to Gu She's old lady to question her.I thought that Li Yang and the others failed in the robbery last night, and they will definitely make a comeback again. Rather than guarding against them so anxiously, I should take the initiative to attack.

However, I can't carry the Lai Gong with me.Although Lei Gong belonged to Gu She's old lady from the beginning, Chen Yao chose me herself and was willing to be with me, so I have to respect her choice and be with her forever.So, I can't let anyone take her from me again.This can be seen from what she said last night that she and I should leave here forever.

Now that I know the limits of my ability, since I am going to break into the dragon's lake and the tiger's den, I will not foolishly put tears on my body.And this tear Gong, I don't think it's safe to put it anywhere, except for one person.

That person is Mu Yi.

I made a phone call to Mu Yi and told her that Chen Yao was just a teacup, and now, she was splashed with water, causing her to change back to her original shape, and she has not changed back.Hearing this, Mu Yi immediately continued: "That is rootless water, which can make all monsters return to their original form."

"Rootless water? A demon?" The astonishment in my heart was incomparable: "What is rootless water? How could Chen Yao be a demon?"

"That's right, rootless water is freshly drawn well water, dew water, or the first rainwater from the sky that doesn't touch the ground. And Chen Yao, who was transformed from a cup of tears, is naturally a demon."

Unexpectedly, besides ghosts, there are demons in this world.In my heart, it is difficult to get in touch with the fact that Chen Yao is this demon, and I would rather believe that she is a spirit.

"Then what should we do now? Can we make Chen Yao change back?" I asked hurriedly.

Mu Yi said: "It's hard to say. Once she is beaten back to her original shape by the rootless water, it will be very difficult to turn into a human again." She asked again: "Where is the tear cup now?" I said it was here.Mu Yi said: "You bring it to me to see."

I originally planned to ask Mu Yi to find a way for me, so when Mu Yi said this, I agreed without hesitation.After asking where she was, I locked the door of the hotel and hurried over.

After seeing Mu Yi, I handed the Teacup to her, and after Mu Yi took it, he looked it over very carefully, nodded and said: "This Teacup does have spiritual energy, you put it here with me for the time being. "

"Okay, help me figure out a way to see if I can make it become Chen Yao again." I responded readily.

Mu Yi put Lai Gong into his pocket, then looked at me and asked, "What have you been doing these two days?"

"I..." I told the truth about my stay at the hotel, Mu Yi frowned slightly after hearing this, "Then you have to be careful, those people will come to you again."

"I know this, that's why I decided to keep the Teacup with you for safekeeping."

Mu Yi nodded, "Tear Gong will be fine with me."

I thought of Zhou Yuyong, and told Mu Yi that Zhou Yuyong and Ouyang Mei came to see me in person, and from the fact that they asked me to manage the hotel for Ouyang Mei, they didn't seem to have any problems.Mu Yi thought for a while, then she said: "Ouyang Mei definitely has something wrong, if something happens to your friend, you must tell me in time."

"OK, all right."

After leaving Muyaoyi, I went directly to Nancheng Gushe.

When I got there, the door of the old house was open.I looked around, then walked in cautiously.

The ancient house was still quiet as usual, and there was only one person inside, that is, the old lady.She is examining a bronze vase with a magnifying glass.Hearing my footsteps, the old woman raised her head and glanced at me, then asked in surprise, "You—why are you here again?"

I have come here several times, this is the first time she took the initiative to talk to me, I controlled the anger in my heart and wanted to question her directly, but then thought, if Li Yang and the others were not sent by her, would it be okay if I asked her Will it be too reckless?

"Did you find Lai Gong?" I asked tentatively.

The old woman was slightly taken aback when she heard this, put down the magnifying glass in her hand and looked at me and asked, "Did she not come to see you?"

I knew that the woman the old lady was talking about was naturally Chen Yao, but I deliberately pretended not to know, and asked knowingly, "Who is she?" The old lady said, "Of course it's Tears, Chen Yao."

"No." I lied.

"This is weird." The old woman almost muttered, "Since she showed up to you, she naturally wanted to follow you, so why didn't she come to you? Did something happen to her?"

Looking at the old woman's appearance, it seems that she doesn't know about Chen Yao's situation.If you know, then she is too good at acting.But according to my feeling, the old woman is not the kind of person who loves acting.

"Didn't you send those three people?" I asked directly.

The old woman looked puzzled, and asked with lowered eyebrows, "Which three people?"

"Li Yang, I still have a bald head and a cropped head." When I said this, I kept looking at the old woman, trying to see what she was thinking from the changes on her face.As expected, the old woman had a very strange expression, shook her head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." But after two seconds, she seemed to understand, and asked again, "Someone came to you? Is it for Tears?"

I say yes.

The old woman lowered her head slightly, and a sharp cold light came from behind the reading glasses, and she said extremely displeasedly: "Young man, you are not telling the truth."

I was secretly surprised, how could the old woman know that I was not telling the truth?Either she knows everything, or she sees a flaw in my words.

Before I could ask a question, the old woman raised her voice and said again: "Chen Yao must have come to look for you. You must tell me exactly what happened."

Judging from what the old woman said, Li Yang and the others were indeed not sent by her.Tears Gong was originally a property of her old house, maybe she has a way to make Chen Yao change back, so I told the truth about what happened last night.After listening to me, the old woman's face darkened, and she asked angrily, "Where is Lei Gong now?" I said it was at my friend's place.The old woman said, "You bring it to me."

"I won't give you any more." I said bluntly, "I'll give you money, and I'll buy it."

"Huh!" The old lady said coldly, "That Tears Gong already has spirit energy, and has gathered spirits to become an adult. She came to you by herself, which means that her heart is for you, so I let her do whatever she wants, and I plan to send her away. Here you are. But, obviously, you don't have the ability to take good care of her. Instead of letting her fall into the hands of someone with evil intentions, you might as well give her back to me."

"No, I have the ability to take good care of her, and I won't let anyone snatch her away from me!" I said heavily.

"It's useless to speak big words." The old woman said seriously: "I can see that, young man, you are frivolous and frivolous, and you are frizzy. Don't say that you can watch Tears, you are afraid that you will also be in trouble. For For your safety, you should give me your tears."

Facing the old woman’s criticism, I was not angry. The master also mentioned to me before that he also saw my shortcomings, but now, being pointed out by the old woman again, I realized that this is my fault. A problem that has not been overcome.

"Thank you, I know how to do it." I turned and left.But I heard the old woman ask anxiously: "Is Lei Gong really not on your body now?" I stopped and didn't look back, "No, it's with my friend."

"Your friend?" The old woman was dubious, "What's his name?"

"Mu Yi."

"Oh...Muyi..." The old woman paused, then said slowly: "Okay, I understand. You can go."

I turned around and looked at the old lady and asked, "Do you know how to make Chen Yao change back?"

"Heh, young man, once Chen Yao is beaten back to her original form by Rootless Water, it will not be easy to change back into a human form."

"You must have a way, right?" I stepped forward and stared at the old woman.But the old woman waved her hand at me and said, "You can figure it out for yourself. Since Lei Gong has come to your side, then it is yours from now on and has nothing to do with me. Don't come to me again. Also, you'd better Find out who is going to grab Tears Gong. Alright, I'm done talking here, you——let's go."

Coming out of the ancient house, my doubts became more and more serious. Since Li Yang and his group were not sent by the old woman, who would be the mastermind behind the scenes?Apart from the old woman, only Mu Yi knows about this matter, could it be that Mu Yi did this matter?

However, even if he kills me, I won't believe that Mu Yi did such a thing.

Since it's not the old woman and Mu Yi, who else could it be?Could it be the senior sister?
