Chapter 44 Chapter 42: Zhang Ziheng's Worries

When Mr. Zhang Yao was taken out of the underground palace by the old man Zhaofeng and walked out of the Zhaoxia Temple, he felt as if he had seen and heard just now.He even wondered if what happened just now was true. Looking up, the bright moon is in the sky, there are only a few thin clouds floating in the clear sky, and the stars in the Milky Way are shining like gems. Zhang Yaoye understood that everything he saw just now was true.Underground Palace, Night Pearl, Myriad Immortals... The old man Zhaofeng didn't invite Zhang Yaoye and Master Tuo to sit in his three thatched huts, but broke up at a fork in the road.When we parted, the old man Zhaofeng hugged Master Tuo and patted him on the back lightly, showing a very reluctant look.

It was already midnight when Zhang Yaoye brought Master Tuo back to Woniu Village.He didn't go home directly, but deliberately passed in front of the ancestral hall.There are several fires burning on the dam of the ancestral hall, and there are people warming up around each fire. No one in the village slept. Master Zhang Yao walked over with Master Tuo. Zhang Ziheng was talking with a thick throat, but he didn't notice Master Zhang Yao and Master Tuo walking over.He didn't see Zhang Yaoye until he came to Zhang Ziheng's side to question him. Zhang Yaoye said, "Zi Heng, what are you talking about with your rough voice at midnight?"

As soon as Zhang Ziheng saw Master Zhang Yao, he immediately said: "Master Yao, where did you go this afternoon? I went to your house eight times and you were not at home. I asked Granny Yao, but she didn't say anything, only that you went out. , making everyone anxious to death." Zhang Yaoye said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you waiting so hard on me?" Zhang Ziheng stood up, patted Zhang Yaoye on the shoulder and said to him mysteriously: "Go to a secluded place, I have something to tell you." Seeing Zhang Ziheng's appearance, Master Zhang Yao seemed to have something very confidential to say, so he followed him to a dark bamboo forest.

"Master Yao, brother Xi is awake!" Zhang Ziheng said. When Zhang Yaoye heard this, he felt tense, but said, "Oh! You're awake? Good thing!" "What the hell! He said he saw something in the cave." Zhang Ziheng said. Zhang Yaoye's heart flickered again, and he said, "Did he see something in the cave?" Zhang Ziheng looked around in the dark for a while, feeling a little hairy in his heart, and said, "He said there are terrible monsters in the cave, with green faces and fangs, who can eat people!" Master Zhang Yao stared at Zhang Ziheng and said, "Did brother Xi really say that?"

Zhang Ziheng said: "Really, if you don't believe me, you can ask him in person later." Zhang Yaoye asked vigilantly: "How many people heard what Brother Xi said?" Zhang Ziheng said: "Only Aunt Wu and I know. I told Aunt Fifth not to tell anyone in the village. I also said hello to Brother Xi." Master Zhang Yao said, "You did the right thing! Where is Brother Xi now?" Zhang Ziheng said: "At his house. I just came from my fifth aunt's house, and there are two stupid boys guarding my fifth aunt's place." Zhang Yaoye said to himself: "Could this kid still be talking crazy?"

Zhang Ziheng said: "No! Could it be that I can't even tell if I'm crazy or not?" A hint of ominous premonition began to envelope Zhang Yaoye's heart again. Zhang Ziheng said again: "There are even more weird things, I don't know if I'm paranoid." "What's weird?" "I suspect that someone has gone down that hole again." Zhang Yaoye was shocked when he heard it, and said, "What did you say?" Zhang Ziheng said: "Really, I heard Brother Xi's words today, and I was worried. I couldn't find you, so I took a few people to see the cave. It seems that the branches covering the cave have been moved!"

Master Zhang Yao was shocked, and said, "Ziheng, don't spread rumors about this!" Zhang Ziheng said: "Master Yao, do I need to spread rumors about this matter? How dare I spread rumors at this time?" Zhang Yaoye frowned tightly, and said: "It seems that this matter really seems to be getting more and more difficult to hide. Tell me, who else in the village is so bold, behind everyone's back Is it strange to go to that cave by yourself?" Zhang Ziheng said: "I'm also wondering! Who is so desperate, behind our backs, just to see the novelty?"

Zhang Yaoye thought for a while and said, "Ziheng, you must not make a fuss about this matter. I think this matter is not as simple as imagined." Zhang Ziheng said: "If there is really something with green face and long fangs in the hole as Brother Xi said, what if it runs out? Will it be more terrifying and frightening than that big boa constrictor?" Zhang Yaoye said: "Brother Xi's words can be taken seriously or not. However, what I am worried about now is who is carrying us down to that cave? What are they going to do?" Zhang Ziheng said: "That's why I have been in a hurry to find you this afternoon. I don't know where you have been."

Zhang Yaoye patted Zhang Ziheng on the shoulder and said: "Yaoye is also going to do business, so don't complain about Yaoye. Well, Yaoye is also tired, go back to sleep first. You also let the people on the bazi go to bed early , don't get together and make a fuss." Zhang Ziheng said: "Who can still sleep? If they can sleep, they all go home and sleep. They have to take turns to watch the night." As he spoke, he yawned wearily. Zhang Yaoye said: "Then you can figure it out. I'm going home to sleep." Said that Zhang Yaoye was going to call Master Tuo, who was warming up by the fire, to go home.

But Zhang Ziheng said: "Master Yao, you should be more vigilant when you sleep at night. I feel that the village is really not quiet!"
