Chapter 110 Win

The conversation with Liao Feiyun and the others across a snail shell ended in a hurry. A few minutes later, Jin Heng, who looked the same in size as the snail wives, just got into an empty snail shell and came from another snail under the reef. A hidden cave was successfully passed through.

Those snail wives who seemed unwilling to give this field snail originally didn't want to give it to him, but the paper herring in Jin Heng's hand was still alive and kicking, staring at them and ready to eat at any time, so this time it was obvious that the snail wives he put together In the end, they had no choice but to send the fat snail wife from before to give him the snail shell that was hidden in the deepest part of their cave, and then stared depressedly at the person who was about to prepare. Jin Hengdao left their place,

"Here, take this old fairy snail and continue swimming. Go through the cave at the back and you will find a turtle nest. That nest was originally owned by a thousand-year-old turtle in our dead man's river. Many months ago...it was...it was forcibly taken over by these guys, and somehow it was renamed Sishuilonggong..."

"...Sishui Dragon Palace?"

"Yeah, the old tortoise who lived here was arrested by Meilang and the others because of this incident. I heard that he was stewed into a pot of old tortoise soup by Meilang's water mice that night... If If you don’t take the initiative to find it this time, you don’t know when you will find out what happened at the bottom of the river... But you must not go out and say that we told you, otherwise we will not be able to stay in this dead man’s river. It's..."

"Well, but the old tortoise that lived at the bottom of the river was stewed into old turtle soup, and their nest was taken over by them. Haven't you thought of telling the ghost messenger on the river before?"

"...We... How dare we go out and report the news... If we really do this, I'm afraid we can only make a plate of stir-fried screws for those water rats to drink... And Meilang and the others arrest people When occupying the nest, I told everyone at the bottom of the river that I have a relationship with the Northwest City, and the owner of the Northwest City is said to be related to the ghost messenger, so how dare we go to the underworld and the ghost world to talk nonsense... This kind of thing is clear. They were the ones protecting each other from the top...and...plus we got a lot of benefits from Meilang later on, so we could only pretend to be deaf and dumb all day under this rock, watching them come in and out every day Ah..."

The snail sisters-in-law can’t help but feel a little ashamed when they say this. After all, they have to admit that they saw the poor old turtle being eaten and later took advantage of it without conscience, even if they are river snails at all. If you don't know how to blush, you will still feel a little uncomfortable, and seeing Jin Heng also frown thoughtfully, those fat snail wives hiding in the shell thought about it, and still stammered and complained to him, saying,

"Well, it's not the same now anyway... you know everything, or why the old people in the past always said that you mortals living on land are cunning, and I will never be so honest with you next time It's really a disadvantage for the handsome young man to do business... But, you must remember that you must never let Mei Lang know that we are the ones who showed you the way..."

Seeing the tension and apprehension unconsciously revealed on their faces, Jin Heng must of course keep his previous promise no matter what, so the white-haired young man suppressed the thoughtful expression on his face and nodded, looking at the faintly glowing eyes in front of him. replied,

"Well, no matter what happens next, I will not tell Meilang that you are helping me. I will return this shell to you when it is used up. You don't have to worry."

"Then, that's good, that's good... Also...you have to be careful along the way... After all, Meilang and the others are very powerful, little man..."

The snail sisters-in-law who are not so bad after all said so also hid in the snail shell and waved to Jin Heng in a soft voice, and Jin Heng, who saw this, thanked them softly , and then saw the petite snail wives twisting their waists and crawling back to the bottom of the wet reef.

And this matter came to an end, and the next thing was much imminent, so Jin Heng, who was anxious to find out where the turtle nest was, didn't waste any more time, and went directly under the reef that blocked the normal sight of the outside world. , and seemed extra cautious, put the magical old fairy snail on his back and continued to swim towards the 'Dragon Palace' below.

This so-called 'Dragon Palace', according to what the snails just told him, is definitely not the kind of resplendent crystal palace mentioned in folklore where the Dragon King lives. After all, coastal wars broke out frequently in the late Qing Dynasty as early as the last century or even earlier. During the period, almost all the salty water dragons that had not yet been extinct in the southeastern coastal area died of accidental injuries and tragic deaths from human bullets and artillery fire.

In order to hide Qin Xuan this time, Mei Lang obviously took great pains to find a way to revive their old evil master. Not only did he find such a special location at the bottom of the dead river, but he also tried his best to forcibly occupy the lair of the old river turtle. up.

It’s just that no matter how good the calculations in his heart were, Jin Heng finally found this place alone. In the process, he once again tried to use the river snail to contact the Gentiana that is still on the river, but he didn’t know Is it because he has not yet recovered his human form, but Qin Gentiana and the boat on the river never gave him any response.

And because of this incident, he unconsciously frowned and walked away. After a moment of silence, he continued to swim a few steps forward. Those ferocious water rats wandering back and forth outside the giant golden tortoise's nest vaguely noticed a fat water rat in the distance staring at him for a while, and then approached here hesitantly, then quickly Carrying the shell on its back, it hid under the reef not far from the turtle's nest.

"...Hey, Shu Si, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, no...it's nothing, I just saw a strangely long snail rolling past here..."

"Tian snails? Could it be that those snail wives who are noisy all day have sneaked over again, didn't you tell them that they are not allowed to come near here... Or are you misreading..."

"I, I don't know, but these days I am here every day to serve that... that General Qin Xuan... half of my life is about to be tossed... Look at my two... Are the eyeballs blood red? I haven't slept for several nights..."

"Oh, it's true...but you must keep your voice down. If you don't pay attention, Meilang will overhear you...I didn't hear that two days ago, even the old man Dengxin was angry and locked up by Meilang forcibly because of this matter. Wake up... Now we all have the final say of Meilang..."

The fact that the old man Dengxin was locked up by Meilang, who is an accomplice, obviously surprised Jin Heng, but seeing the water mice who were whispering together above their heads, they really looked frightened. Jin Heng who was hiding in the snail shell Then he became a little confused, and then listened to the two water mice casually discussing that Meilang's eyebrows are actually quite ugly. I don't know what he was doing all day in front of the mirror. What kind of nonsense gossip.

It wasn't until he was sure that the water mouse had really left that Jin Heng poked his head out slowly and expressionlessly lifted the river snail shell on his back which seemed huge compared to his current figure, like a Like a soft snail, sticking to the ground and watching the specific terrain ahead through the luminous place on the inner wall, and at the same time following the intricate and deep entrance in the turtle nest, just like this, carrying the shell that hides its figure on the back to avoid water rats Little by little, the watch of the watch crept in.

During this process, there will inevitably be some invisible hidden corners in the completely dark turtle nest, so Jin Heng, who was "struggling", almost hit the wet ground with the shell on his back several times. On the wall of the turtle nest, until he frowned, he vaguely saw two water mice walking slowly in front of them with something like food in their hands. After thinking about it, Jin Heng simply followed. The way to the depths of the turtle nest.

But what he didn't expect was that it was a road, but this narrow and deep road didn't lead to anywhere else, it was actually the place where Mei Lang was currently guarding the old man with the wick.

And watching the two water mice put the leftovers in front of the old man Dengxi who was sitting on his back in the depths of the turtle's nest with a sneering look on his face, Jin Heng just thought in his heart with some doubts that the situation of the old man Dengwick in the past was no different. Maybe he was reduced to this place, and he saw that the white-haired, stern-faced old man had suddenly lost the candle holder that he never left his hand. It seemed that this time... something really happened.

"Old Deng...Mei Lang has already told the little ones just now, for the sake of your contribution to the old evil lord's affairs, I will save your life for the time being...but if If you keep talking nonsense all day long and being disrespectful to Mei Lang, he will have no choice but to push you into Longchi to serve General Qin Xuan as an appetizer..."

"..."

Hearing this, he sat with his head bowed without saying a word, lost the wick of the candlestick that he relied on for survival, and looked downcast and pitiful, gnashing his teeth and staring at the two water mice. Jin Heng, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, did not act rashly. He just watched the two water mice mockingly threatened the lamp wick, and then he watched the trembling hands and the pale face of the lamp wick. After being silent for a long time, he endured the humiliation in his heart and picked up the meals just a little bit.

"...Ayun...Qianwen...I am sorry to you...it is Ding Sheng...I am sorry to you in this life...I have delayed your life..."

Repeating the names of his wife and daughter in a low voice, Old Man Wick's decayed and pale face twitched violently, it seemed that many emotions accumulated in his heart erupted all at once at this juncture.

However, Jin Heng, who was self-righteous about this character and didn't have much affection for the old man Wick who once plotted against them with ill intentions, saw this scene that no one knew about, and for some reason, it had a more complicated taste, so he hesitated a little and decided to go back. The snail shell on the upper back slowly approached the old man sitting with his head bowed not far away.

It's a pity that his figure at the moment is too small, so even if he almost climbed to the foot of the lamp wick and waved back and forth, the old man who was still in the mood of repentance still saw nothing, making his expression inexplicably more helpless. Heng was also a little confused, he could only put his back on his back with a cold face and took a step back, and then swooped slowly into the old man's calf, and then he heard the old man's horrified ouch.

"What the... what!! Where is the thing!!! A... a snail? Where did you come from!"

Probably because he didn't expect that he would be suddenly attacked by a strange snail, the old man Dengxin stared his eyes in a strange manner, and stayed there for a long time without realizing what was going on, but after bumping into him, he stabilized himself. Jin Heng, who was standing still, was also relieved when he saw this, and after poking his head out of the shell and looking at the lamp wick, Jin Heng spoke to him lightly, considering his tone,

"Long time no see, Old Deng."

"You...why are you here all of a sudden!"

When he saw Jin Heng, who was only the size of an ordinary person's finger, suddenly emerge from the snail shell, even the well-informed Old Man Dengxin didn't expect it, so he poked his head out out of vigilance and took a look to confirm what happened just now. The water rats had already left, and they took another careful look into the snail shell to make sure that Jin Heng was indeed here alone today. The old man Dengxin heaved a sigh of relief first, and then he snorted coldly with a strange expression on his face,

"It's really rare today. You and that vicious snake come in and out at the same time. Why, some things happened in the world some time ago finally caused the two of you to fall out?"

"..."

I don't understand why this strange old man has always been so hostile towards him and Gentiana Qin. Jin Heng originally wanted to persuade him, and by the way, he would do a good thing every day to save him this time, but it turned out that he was so angry as soon as he came up. He started to say something unpleasant and frowned in displeasure.

After noticing the serious expression on Jin Heng's face, he stopped with a guilty conscience. The old man Dengxian, who had always shown a great dislike for Gentiana Qin, didn't say anything next, but tried to hide the embarrassment and misery on his face with a stinky face. After that, I suddenly heard Jin Heng say with a hint of clarity,

"So... Feng Zhichun's husband, Shi Wenbiao, was indeed killed by you and Meilang?"

"...That was Meilang's own idea, and it has nothing to do with me at all! Only Meilang has such a thing as rashly taking someone's life...some people would do it...if it wasn't for repayment The kindness of the old haunted lord for saving my life that day, I will not stay with such despicable people forever... I also watched him bribe the Yin Division's life and death book and come out to kill Shi Wenbiao..."

The old man Dengxin's attitude is still very firm on this matter of principle, because it sounds very bad to be suspected by Jin Heng. After all, in his opinion, the disgusting feeling of being regarded as a gang with Meilang is obvious. It's almost the same as being regarded as a gang of Gentiana Qin, and Jin Heng, who understands that he still has the bookish integrity like a stubborn donkey in the past, didn't comment too much, but frowned and looked at him first. What happened to him being forcibly detained here now seemed to be too embarrassing to say with a slumped face on the ground,

"Perhaps Qin Gentiana and Meilang are really despicable villains in your eyes, but you can clearly distinguish between good and evil in your heart, but you can also do the same thing as before for the so-called kindness. I think the difference between you and them is actually not the same. Not too big, even... I think you are better than them."

"You...you brat who argues for that poisonous snake all day long!!"

Originally, the impression of Jin Heng was not bad, but after being squeezed like this, everyone was so angry that his nose was crooked, and his trembling fingers didn't say a word for a long time. The old man with red eyes and angry eyes for a long time had a very different tone of voice. Gritting his teeth firmly, he said,

"Yes... yes, you are right, I am worse than the two of them... then why did you come here today to deliberately humiliate me, why don't you let me die here like this, and let you young people laugh at you behind your back I'm an old thing..."

What he said was a bit unreasonable, and Jin Heng, who looked a little helpless, was not very good at answering the words, but it was indeed a bit pitiful to see the old man Dengxin who was currently helpless and staying here, so he thought about living Lei Feng for half his life. His uncle still slowly moved the snail shells to the lamp wick's feet, and after pursing his lips impatiently at him, he frowned and said,

"You don't need to use your set of words that all people are evil and have selfish desires to keep speculating on other people's thoughts. I am definitely not here today because of you. It is because many things outside are imminent. Many innocent people are likely to die in the next second." Died unexpectedly, those female evil spirits who were victimized one after another in Northwest City, those ordinary people in the world who should not have suffered these disasters at all, each of them should have a chance to continue to live, but because of the selfish desires of you and Meilang before... It became what it is now..."

"..."

"Actually, you can think about it yourself, but you always looked down on Gentiana Qin when you opened your mouth before... you felt that he hadn't made any progress for so many years, that he was a hopeless villain, but the fact is that after so many years, he You have already begun to gradually understand what was wrong with you at the beginning, but you are still immersed in the hatred of the past and cannot get out, and you keep telling yourself and everyone that he is a villain over and over again, so as to set off what you did to him The behavior is correct and innocent, but I need to remind you, how old was he when you stole his heart away, and who was it for you? Let me put it this way, between you and him, Who is really sinister and who is hypocritical, do you still need me to clarify?"

"...you...you...how do you know..."

"If that old evil master was really a good person, he wouldn't have told Qin Geng that killing people was a way to vent his emotions since he was a child, and then let him go to the mortal world to kill his adoptive parents. You dug it up on purpose after listening to your benefactor Qin Gentiana's heart, but I have a disturbed conscience in the end, so every time I meet him in the future, I will have an attitude of doing something wrong and then deliberately speaking hard. I couldn't be sure before, but now that you are mentioned by me, I feel very guilty. But the appearance is exhausted... So, you owe not only your wife and children, but also a sentence and a truth to Qin Geng whose heart was dug out by your collusion with the old evil master. Do you understand what I mean? old?"

"..."

It is rare for Jin Heng to speak such a long paragraph patiently with others. Although his tone is cold and severe, at least he is still speechless when he hears what the old man said. Without saying a word, the old man, whose face was full of bewilderment and distress, shook his head and said with a wry smile in a hoarse voice,

"...I understand...I...understand...that's all, that's all...I'll take you to Qin Xuan...it's okay..."
