A complete change has taken place, becoming gloomy, with a hint of anger that has never been revealed. He opened his mouth and said: "Qiao Yang, have you forgotten why we came back? Even if we forget everything we have experienced, we should

Remember what the wet nurse said before she died!"

How could I forget? Qiao Yang smiled bitterly.

He and Liu Yun, Jinghao, both grew up around the nanny. She was a few years older than Ling Zihan and had been close to each other since childhood. The nanny was like their mother, and her death was more important to them.

It is an indelible blow.

Although the wet nurse passed away peacefully, in private, he heard Jing Hao say that it was Du Zun who gave her a hallucinogenic drug in order to make her death less painful. And the reason why the wet nurse died that year could not be more than a few years ago.

In the bloody massacre at the master's door, the only clue was an iron token left in Liu Yun's hand. They checked and found that it was from the palace, but after the palace was reorganized ten years ago, that token was all

Destroyed.

Back then, the nanny didn't allow them to investigate the matter, but she told them before she left that if they wanted to avenge her, they had to return to Beijing and assist Ling Zihan in finding out the truth, so that she could rest in peace. At the same time, she also

He told him another secret that shocked him, which was his life experience with Liu Yun.

"Liu Yun." Qiao Yang was just thinking about something when he heard Ling Zihan's voice. He couldn't see her face through the curtain, but he could feel her mood at the moment.

It's very heavy, very deep, and hard to fathom.

Liu Yun's expression changed, he glared at Qiao Yang fiercely, then put down the curtain and returned to the car.

Ling Zihan didn't speak to her, and only told Qiao Yang again to drive on.

Along the way, there was a feeling of loneliness again.

Ling Zihan looked through the thin thread-bound book and became more and more confused. Countless question marks were spinning in her mind.

She couldn't figure it out. She asked Dou Kao to investigate the affairs of the Zi family, but what she got back was a picture album. To be more specific, it was a strange story with a touch of mythology. Among them, there was Miao Jiang

The most prominent description of the spiritual arts practiced by other sects is the process of planting spiritual words.

Does this thing have anything to do with the Zi family? Could it have been switched out halfway?

The thought jumped out of her mind. Ling Zihan closed her notebook and asked in a loud voice: "Qiao Yang, what happened to Daukou!"

A sudden brake, the horse was restrained by the reins and jumped up and neighed.

Ling Zihan's figure swayed and she leaned against the frame of the car to steady herself.

The curtain was lifted, and Qiao Yang pointed to the quiet, deserted alley outside: "Zihan, we're here."

Ling Zihan looked outside the car and winked at Liu Yun.

Liuyun understood and left immediately, taking the note Ling Zihan gave her on the way, to inquire about the fireworks building. Qiao Yang was about to put down the curtain, but Ling Zihan stopped him with the back of his hand, "Answer me."

The strange eyes flickered like fire, a little anxious, but still passionate.

But he could understand the worry, concern, and almost undetectable tenderness in her eyes.

"Jinkao expected you to ask this question, so let me tell you that she did not take the wrong thing. The elder of the Zi family asked her to give this book to you. It was said that it was fate and it would be solved naturally. As for the thing you want to ask

, he advises you not to care, not to ask, not to investigate..."

Give her a "comic book" and say that it can be solved by someone who is destined to do it?

But I want to know if Zi Chen has a twin brother, so what kind of elder would give her a bunch of "don'ts"?

What is involved here, and whose taboo has been violated.

Why did Emperor Chen stop her, the Zi family strictly guarded her, and even Xuanyuan Huang had to step in to stop her?

Could it be that it has something to do with her biological mother? If so, why did Xuanyuan Huang intervene instead of working with her to solve this mystery?

There were too many unknown secrets, which made her curiosity more and more inflated, heart-breaking, and terribly uncomfortable.

The more they hide it, the more she wants to know. This is probably a psychological drive. But when she thinks about it, she feels something is wrong. Could this be the effect they want? Her curiosity,

Will she be treated as a pawn by them? After all, she has heard the saying that curiosity killed the cat.

Seeing Ling Zihan deep in thought, Qiao Yang broke the quiet and awkward situation, pointed at the booklet tightly clasped in Ling Zihan's hand, and said, "What is this? Can you let me take a look?"

"Of course." Ling Zihan handed the album in her hand to Qiao Yang.

Qiao Yang flipped through a few pages, but he was also confused. He looked up at Ling Zihan in confusion, "Is this what you brought back from Daukou's adventure?" A book of myths?

"This is the beginning of the Zi clan, the ancestor of the national master. They believe that the national master who is good at divination, stargazing, proficient in Qimen Dunjia, and familiar with the art of war is the bloodline given by the gods."

Ling Zihan's explanation made Qiao Yang even more confused. He scratched his head and said, "This is weird. It's just a legend. Do they take it seriously? Elder Zi family, why did you give you such a weird thing!"

In his eyes, this thing is simply not worth the effort that Daukou has to take to protect it. "Does it have other meanings?"

"I don't know." Ling Zihan shook her head, but the conversation did not continue. Liu Yun had already returned.

"Miss, I heard about it. This Fireworks Building is the largest brothel in Baiquan County. It was only fifteen years ago. It was very prosperous. The three courtesans who were both good at sex and art were a wonder in Baiquan County. It's a pity that it was short-lived.

, the appearance died young, and now it is deserted, leaving only an empty building."

"What about the small courtyard on the west side? Who once lived there?"

Liuyun didn't know why Ling Zihan asked her to ask about this. She always felt that her young lady should not come to this kind of place. But she vaguely felt that Ling Zihan was so interested in it, so he said: "Now Dong Dong

There are few people living in the alley, and those who settled there are all entertainers and people who are trying to make a living, so there is no way to know. I can only tell from him.

We heard some rumors from our mouths, saying that there was an unknown fire in the Fireworks Building, and the oiran was buried here. The next day, the madam, the girl, and the maid Turtle Gong in the building disappeared without knowing where they were, as if they disappeared out of thin air. Then, this

People in East Alley moved away one after another. As for why, no one knows. I only heard that this Fireworks Building... is also haunted."

Liu Yun said the last sentence very carefully.

Ling Zihan smiled and narrowed her eyes.

Interestingly, this once most prosperous Huajie and Liuxiang became dilapidated overnight, and the people in the building disappeared. Why did everyone in the entire alley move away? Is it because of what they call "ghosts"

?

"Ghosts are not scary, people are scary!" Ling Zihan said lightly, turned over and jumped off the carriage, greeted the two of them, and walked with her towards the fireworks building deep in the alley.

"Zihan, do you think someone is up to something?" Looking around warily, Qiao Yang's hand never left the saber at his waist, and there was a faint murmur in his heart.

Indeed, they had encountered such a thing when they were closing shops in Beiyan. He used to believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but after Ling Zihan proved it with various things, he changed his mind greatly. He also agreed with Ling Zi.

In other words, people are often scarier than ghosts.

"What would you do if, with a little effort, you could make the entire street yours?" When she walked to the door, Ling Zihan looked up at the slightly charred three-story building, its tall cornices, and its exquisite

Even though the screen wall is covered with a layer of charcoal black, the original beauty can still be vaguely seen.

The tall and wide door was half-open and half-closed, and the dilapidated wooden door had lost its former vermilion. With a slight push, it squeaked and swayed, making a harsh sound.

The plaque on the door is crooked, and the wooden couplets on both sides are also incomplete.

Pushing the door and walking in, you will find small buildings surrounded on three sides in a well-proportioned manner. The corridors on each floor are connected to each other, but some of the overhead bridges have been broken.

Messy, desolate, dilapidated... This is probably the final portrayal of this once glorious brothel, shimmering in the blurry night and filled with the delicate fragrance of powder.

"Tsk, tsk, what a big fire this is, it has spread to so many places!" Dusting off the spider webs on the door, Qiao Yang stepped on the squeaking wooden floor and stepped into the main building.

As soon as his front foot landed, his expression suddenly changed, he turned around and pushed Ling Zihan and Liu Yun out, "Be careful, there is a formation!"

It seems that she really guessed it.

Sure enough, someone is causing trouble, but I don't know what that person wants to do here.

A secret base? Or a place where stolen goods are secretly sold?

If so, what's the explanation for leaving the box to her? It's not like he knew her identity and wanted to do business with her!

Ridiculing herself in her heart, Ling Zihan was thinking of thousands of reasons, and just as she was about to walk to the west, she was grabbed by Liu Yun. "Miss, I think it's better not to go in."

"I'm not in the way. I still know a little about Qimen Dunjia." Ling Zihan patted the back of Liu Yun's hand comfortingly, then looked in the direction where Qiao Yang disappeared, and raised her chin, "Qiao Yang was touched.

Zhenfa, go find him quickly! Let’s meet at the door before dark.”

"Miss!"

"Sorry Liuyun, I can't take you there." Unexpectedly, Ling Zihan pushed her away, turned around and ran towards the formation.

These days, she got all the borrowed books recording formations. It happened that she could solve this formation. The name here is a bit awkward, but the shape is similar to Zhuge Liang's Bagua formation. As long as you follow the method, you can reach the dark side.

, that is to the west.

Silently reciting the formula for setting up the formation, Ling Zihan walked in reverse according to the formula, and finally she found a door at the bottom of the west side. When she opened it, there was a beautiful courtyard with several peach blossom trees planted in it.

It was covered with pink peaches. Some of them were ripe and fell to the ground, filling the garden with fragrance.

Looking at the houses in the courtyard, they don't look dilapidated, but they are obviously different from other buildings. They should have been renovated later.

After walking around the yard again, Ling Zihan searched carefully and realized that the formation had been released. This was also the place where the formation needed to be protected.

Look up and down.

Ling Zihan looked at the plaque on the door, her eyes a little dazed.

This must have been changed later!

The courtyard of a brothel, could it be named like this?!

Biluo Huangquan——

You can’t say that this is hell!
