In the morning, Gongsun found that after turning around twice, the little fourth son was missing again.
So he and Zhao Pu searched layer by layer.
The Demon Palace is large-scale, with a total of nearly four hundred courtyards, stretching from the mountainside of the Demon Mountain to the top of the mountain, approaching fifty floors.
So, Gongsun had to look for Zhao Pu layer by layer, and finally, in a courtyard on the thirty-third floor, he found the little fourth son who was playing ten moves of chess with the two old devils and eating sesame cakes.
Xiao Liangzi is also there, I don't know what the two old devils taught him, and he is practicing kung fu on the side.
Gongsun was so tired that he couldn't breathe, the little fourth son sat on the table, nibbled on a mouthful of black sesame seeds, and the two little old men were full of white notes, and it was estimated that they had lost badly.
It's no wonder that you have to use dice to play ten moves of chess, and in this world, except for the late Silver Demon King, no one can roll the dice to win the little four.
The little fourth son was playing, and he saw an old man poking at the back, and when the little fourth son turned around, he saw the grandson who was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, and Zhao Pu who was holding his arms and looking at the grandson rubbing his waist.
Gongsun squinted his eyes, he wanted to say two words to him, but he didn't say a word when he ran away, but the little fourth son raised his chubby arm and beckoned to him, and by the way, he sent a big smiling face, and he opened his mouth and was missing a tooth, and the sound he made was honey, "Daddy Jiujiu" Gongsun and Zhao Pu subconsciously "sighed", and they didn't remember what they were angry about Gongsun walked to the table, said hello to the two old men, and hugged the little fourth son and asked, "It's time to eat, why did you come here?"
Xiao Sizi said, "I just looked for the cat and Baibai, but I didn't find it, and then I just" "What are you looking for Zhanzhao to do with Bai Yutang" Zhao Pu was curious.
"Yesterday, the cat said that he would take me and Xiao Liangzi to visit the cave in the back mountain."
Xiao Sizi was quite dissatisfied, "Xiao Liangzi and I got up early today, but the cat and the cat are gone."
Gongsun picked up the little fourth son, patted the black sesame seeds on his clothes while helping him, and asked, "It's gone" "Speaking of which," the two old monsters also touched their chins, "I didn't see Zhao Zhao and Yutang boys early this morning." ” Everyone was chatting, and they saw a person wandering in, it was the nine-headed grandmother.
"Oh, Mr.
Gongsun, you are here."
Grandma Nine Heads seems to have come to find her grandson.
Gongsun and Zhao Pu both looked at the old lady.
The nine-headed grandmother was mysterious, and she pulled her grandson aside as if she was whispering, Zhao Pu gossiped over to listen, and the little fourth son also came over to listen.
"I have something I want my husband to help me with."
Nine-headed grandma said.
Gongsun naturally agreed, "If the old man has anything to do, just tell me." ” "But it's going to be in the mountains."
The old lady pointed to the mountains and forests in the distance.
Gongsun also nodded, "No problem." ” "That's good."
The nine-headed grandmother took her grandson out, Zhao Pu blinked, and followed, and the fourth son also followed.
However, the nine-headed grandmother waved her hand to the little fourth son, "Little fourth son, don't go into the mountain, continue to play with them."
Xiao Sizi saw the nine-headed grandmother winking at him quietly, so Xiao Sizi turned his face back, grabbed Xiao Liangzi, who was also going with him, and continued to play chess with the old monsters.
Gongsun and Zhao Pu were curious about what was going on with Grandma Jiutou, and they didn't care that the little fourth son had compromised so easily.
So, Gongsun and Zhao Pu followed the old lady into the forest.
The nine-headed grandmother performed light skills, and Zhao Pu hugged her grandson, and it was because of the suddenness of the incident, so Zhao Pu didn't take the shadow guard, thinking about going in and coming out.
The three of them shuttled quickly through the forest, and after about half an hour, the nine-headed grandmother stopped.
Zhao Pu and Gongsun found that at this time, they were next to a ruin.
Zhao Pu frowned and looked at it, and saw that in the deep mountains and old forests, there seemed to be a decent courtyard, but it collapsed and was burned down.
Gongsun asked Grandma Jiutou a little puzzled, "What's wrong with this ruin?"
"There's the problem."
Grandma Jiutou took Gongsun and Zhao Pu to the ruins, pointed to a stone tablet and let the two of them look at it.
Zhao Pu observed the burned house, and it didn't feel like a simple house, because there were very few wooden structures, and they were all made of large stone blocks.
Zhao Pu stretched out his hand and touched the texture of the stone, frowning slightly, "This is not built recently, it looks like some kind of monument." ” In the ruins, Gongsun found a stone tablet lying horizontally, and on the stone tablet, strange words were written.
Zhao Pu asked Gongsun, "What is this?"
Gongsun touched his chin and pondered carefully, "It feels like it's an ancient character, but it seems to be a little different, I can probably understand a little, and there is still a little bit to guess." ” As he spoke, he saw Gongsun suddenly holding his face, thinking about it, and then touching his sleeve and taking out a fragment from his sleeve pocket, which was tattered.
Zhao Pu squatted down and asked, "What is this?"
"Didn't that dragon pattern scroll be bitten by a rat that day?"
Gongsun said, "I flipped through it, and there was a case that was quite interesting, only half of it.
On the front page, it is written that a scholar suddenly disappeared, and his family could not find him.
On the back page is half a strange handwriting.
Gongsun said, "Pang Yu, that kid just opened it for me to see, and I said that it was familiar, and the person who recorded the ancient characters wrote it down."

Gongsun said, comparing the page with the words on the stone tablet, "Look" Zhao Pu looked at it and was surprised, "It's really the same." ” "It's like a word," Gongsun said, wanting to ask the nine-headed grandmother beside him, "Old man, what kind of place is this?"
It's just that Gongsun turned around, stunned because the nine-headed grandmother who was standing beside them just now was gone Gongsun was surprised, "Huh?"
Zhao Pu was looking at the stone stele, raised his head, and found that the old lady was gone.
Gongsun spun around in place, and then looked at Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu stood up and looked around, turned around and shook his head at Gongsun.
Gongsun ran to his side, "You didn't see her go" Zhao Pu spread his hands, indicating that he didn't pay attention at all, this old lady is older than Yin Hou, and her light skills are unimaginably good "Will you be in danger or get lost?"
Gongsun worried.
Zhao Pu looked at him funny, "I said that you are still in the mood to worry about her getting lost, without her, we will really get lost."
Gongsun was shocked, "What should I do then?"
Zhao Pu thought for a while, "I seem to remember that the way back was in this direction," he said, stretching out his hand and pointing.
Gongsun pointed suspiciously in the other direction, "How do I remember coming in from that direction?"
Zhao Pu crossed his arms and looked left and right, and he didn't seem to be sure.
"Just look for it separately" Gongsun wanted to leave after asking, Zhao Pu grabbed him, "You are really brave, you stay by my side and don't go anywhere, you will not be taken away by the beasts in the mountains after a while."
Gongsun squinted at him, but it was still quite scary to think about, so he followed Zhao Pu's side, "Then what should we do?"
Zhao Pu pondered, "That old lady can't harm us, he should want us to help her unravel these inscriptions, I guess the gods are chattering, I think let's study it ourselves, she walks away for a while." ” Gongsun nodded, "It's the same."
"You continue to research, and maybe you'll be back in a moment."
Zhao Pu felt that it was safest not to walk around now, so he dragged a clean big stone from the side, sat down with Gongsun alone, and simply studied the stone tablet.
At the same time, the same person was sitting on a big stone in a daze, as well as Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang who were trapped in the forest not far away.
Like Gongsun, they also stared at the stele, but the difference was that Gongsun looked at the stele with words, and they looked at the tombstone without words.
The two stared blankly at the tombstone for a long time.
In the end, Bai Yutang spoke first, "What do you think?"
Zhan Zhao blinked and replied, "I'm so hungry." ” Bai Yutang raised his face and looked at the sky, it was noon, it was supposed to be lunch.
Thinking of this, Bai Yutang took out something from his waist, held it between his two fingers and handed it to Zhanzhao.
Zhan Zhao glanced at it and reached out to take it, "What" "I met your father this morning, and he said that you like to eat, let me bring it to you."
Bai Yutang said.
Zhan Zhao took it and saw that it was a delicate rice paper bag, and opened it to take a look, "Ah, the cloud cake made by the fat man." ” Bai Yutang was curious, "The fat man is the one in the kitchen these days" "Hmm."
Zhan Zhao nodded, took out a piece of cloud cake and stuffed it into Bai Yutang's mouth, and stuffed a piece himself.
Bai Yutang chewed, the taste was indeed good, Zhanzhao was hungry, and it was naturally comfortable to be able to pad his stomach, so the two of them held a small bag of cloud cake and ate it in a daze while facing the grave.
At that end, Zhao Pu raised his face and looked at the sky, "Nerd, are you hungry?"
Gongsun sighed, "Hungry, of course I'm hungry after climbing the mountain for more than an hour in the morning to find the little fourth son."
"I'm hungry too."
Zhao Pu felt that he should go get something to eat, but he was not at ease about keeping his grandson.
Zhao Pu also complained in his heart, and said that this old woman is too, why did she leave without an explanation.
"Hiss" Zhao Puzheng was dissatisfied, so he saw Gongsun beating his waist and standing up, "This stone is so hard, it's so tiring to sit." ” Zhao Pu subconsciously patted his leg, "Do you want to sit here?"
Zhao Pu also asked casually, he was used to teasing the little four, and every time the little four liked to climb on his lap and sit.
It's just that what Zhao Pu didn't expect was that Gongsun took a look and really sat down.
Zhao Pu was stunned, Gongsun took out the satchel on his waist, took out a paper bag, and opened it.
"What is this?"
"When I went to the kitchen in the morning, a fat chef gave me cloud cakes, saying that Zhanzhao was my favorite food when I was a child, and asked me to bring some for the little fourth son."
Zhao Pu stretched out his hand, took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed the cloud cake, and looked at the grandson sitting on his lap.
Probably the height and softness of Zhao Pu's legs are much more comfortable than the stone, Gongsun sat quietly staring at the stone tablet and thought about it, chewing the cloud cake, thinking that it was indeed delicious, so he thought about leaving a little back for the little fourth son, don't finish eating.
And Zhao Pu didn't know what the cloud cake tasted like, and his attention was on his legs and the back of the grandson in front of him.
The Nine Princes took a good look at it from top to bottom with his eyes, and sighed with emotion, this nerdy waistline and hip line are good, not to mention, the predecessors of the Demon Palace are still very reliable Zhao Puzheng was thinking about something he shouldn't think, and he saw Gongsun suddenly turn around.
The Nine Princes were embarrassed and realized that he was probably looking JJ at this time Gongsun didn't seem to be paying attention, stretched out his hand and poked the stone tablet at Zhao Pu, and asked, "Have you seen this sign?"
Zhao Pu finally came back to his senses, put his hands on Gongsun's shoulders, and leaned over to see, "What sign" While asking, he didn't forget to lean his chin against the side of Gongsun's neck, and the ninth prince smelled it Oh, this nerd must have fiddled with some herbs in the morning, a smell of orchid.

Gongsun pointed to a symbol in the middle of the stone tablet and showed it to Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu looked down carefully and touched his chin.
What Gongsun showed him was a simple pattern, similar to three triangles placed next to each other, looking like a flower.
Zhao Pu looked at it for a while and said to himself, "It's so familiar" "I remember seeing it in your tent."
Gongsun Dao.
Zhao Pu was puzzled, "When have you seen my military tent?"
"The last time I went to Black Wind City, I had nothing to do to look for your military book to read."
Gongsun said, "There is a map in one of the very old parchment scrolls, and I remember that there is such a sign on it, and I was about to ask you to come, but then I forgot it. ” Zhao Pu was slightly stunned, and then frowned, "Oh" Gongsun waited for Zhao Pu's answer, but after he said "oh", he stopped talking, and stared at the stone tablet with a frown and confusion, thoughtful.
Originally, the mind of taking advantage was gone, and Zhao Pu flashed some content in his mind at this time, feeling that the situation was not good "Cats."
Bai Yutang gently patted Zhan Zhao, who was still eating cloud cake in a daze.
Zhan Zhao thought he still wanted to eat, so he handed him the cloud cake paper bag in his hand, but Bai Yutang waved his hand and pointed to the side of the tombstone, "What is that?"
Zhan Zhao looked in the direction of Bai Yutang's finger, "What?"
Bai Yutang stood up, walked over, squatted on the side of the stone stele, and beckoned to Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao ran over, squatted beside him and saw that on the side of the stone stele, there was a very shallow trace, which seemed to be carved in stone, a simple sign, three triangles facing each other, some like a flower.
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, glanced at Bai Yutang, and then looked at the other graves, and interestingly, other graves also had this symbol, including the nameless grave erected by the nine-headed grandmother for the person who committed suicide later.
Zhan Zhao returned to the tombstone at the front again, looked at the pattern carefully, and asked Bai Yutang, "Have you seen this pattern before?"
Bai Yutang shook his head, and then asked Zhanzhao, "What about you?"
"I don't have it either, but this pattern is very simple, and it looks familiar, and I may have never noticed it before."
Zhan Zhao looked at the tombstones, and then at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao's expression and asked, "Cat, what do you want to do?"
Zhan Zhao put away the rest of the cloud cake, patted the sugar powder on his hand, ran to the side, dragged down a long thick branch, and walked back.
Bai Yutang watched him poke the grave soil with a branch, and frowned, "Cat, do you want to" "Since Grandma Nine Heads asked us to investigate the case, let's see what is in the thirteen graves first."
Zhan Zhao said, and also tugged Bai Yutang's clothes, signaling him to step back, "You are afraid of getting dirty, go and sit at that end, I'll come." ” Bai Yutang stopped him, "I didn't mean this" Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, "So what?"
Bai Yutang was also a little helpless, "We can't get out of the barren mountains and mountains, and you are still in the mood to dig graves." ” Zhan Zhao was stunned and looked around At this time, the surroundings were quiet, occasionally some insects chirping or a few strange bird calls, and the rustle of leaves in the breeze.
Because the woods are too dense, so you can't see the situation outside, and the woods on this side are in the col behind the mountain, and there seem to be high mountains around it, and it is not too late tomorrow at this time, but the light in the forest is already very dim.
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, looked at the grave again, and asked Bai Yutang with a stick, "Don't look at it" Bai Yutang thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let's look at one."
Zhan Zhao nodded with the stick and added, "If that's what, we can fill it in again."
Bai Yutang couldn't cry or laugh, what could he do but it did feel a little weird, and he gently pushed the tombstone.
With a "boom", the tombstone was knocked down, and there was mud underneath.
Zhanzhao dug with a stick, and it was quite loose.
Bai Yutang also went to find a wooden stick, and they had deep internal strength, so they dug up one of the graves in three or two strokes.
The grave was not too deep, and soon, the two dug up the lid of the coffin.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, and gently shook Zhanzhao's hand that was still digging, "Wait." ” Zhan Zhao looked at him.
Bai Yutang knocked the lid of the coffin with a stick.
Zhanzhao heard a "knock" sound.
"Iron" Zhanzhao felt that the sound was not right, and quickly swept away the dirt covering a place on the surface of the coffin lid with a wooden stick, and sure enough, he saw that the iron coffin lid was exposed underneath, and there was a ring of chains on the iron coffin The two looked at each other.
Bai Yutang frowned, "The coffin made of iron still needs to be locked" Zhan Zhao stared at the coffin.
Bai Yutang was aroused by curiosity and wanted to continue digging, but this time, Zhanzhao grabbed his wrist.
Bai Yutang looked at him.
Zhan Zhao said in a low voice, "Yutang, do you know that there is a person in the Demon Palace called Funeral Flower." ” Bai Yutang nodded, "The undertaker buried the flowers, he didn't see it before the Demon Palace." ” "He's here, but he's hiding behind, he's more gloomy, he doesn't like to see people very much, and he doesn't like to see the light very much."
Zhan Zhao explained, "There are too many people and you may not have noticed, but he likes you a lot, and he told me about it last night." ” Bai Yutang was slightly surprised, "I didn't pay attention to him at all" Zhan Zhao waved his hand, indicating that this was not the point.
"The taboos and rules of the funeral flower against white things are the clearest in the world," Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao's expression and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this iron coffin, it's the first time I've seen someone use iron to make a coffin and put it on a chain." ” Zhan Zhao stood up and pulled back all the soil he had just dug up, as if he wanted to fill in the grave.
Bai Yutang looked at him puzzled.
Zhanzhao frowned, "This coffin can't be opened" Gongsun looked blankly at Zhao Pu, who was pulling himself to stand up, away from the stone tablet, puzzled, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Pu pulled Gongsun out of the ruins, carefully observed the dilapidated and burned fortress, and frowned.

Gongsun asked him, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Pu raised his face and looked at the sky, and whispered to Gongsun, "Let's get out of here before dark."
Gongsun felt that Zhao Pu's tone of voice was gloomy, but before he could make a fuss, Zhao Pu had already taken his hand and walked out of the forest, it seemed that it didn't matter what the direction was, as long as he left this ruin as soon as possible.
At the same time, Bai Yutang was also pulled into the forest by Zhanzhao, as if he wanted to stay away from the nameless mound.
"Cat" Bai Yutang was puzzled.
Zhanzhao said to himself as he walked, "Grandma, did she mean it, isn't this asking for human life?"
Bai Yutang was confused.
In the Demon Palace.
Yin Hou didn't see Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang when he had lunch, he originally thought that Zhan Zhao was going to play with Bai Yutang, but before he came back in the afternoon, Yin Hou asked, "Who saw Zhao'er and Yutang boy?"
An old monster said to him, "I saw that I followed Lao Jiu into the mountain in the morning." ” Yin Hou frowned, "Into the mountain" Tianzun was puzzled, "I saw Jiutou just now, and I was drinking tea in the courtyard, but I didn't see Yutang and Zhao with her." ” On the side, Lu Xue'er suddenly realized that what she said to Jiutou might have worked, and said that Grandma Jiutou didn't throw Showa Yutang in the mountains and let them "stay alone and spend the night" to die Thinking of this, Lu Xue'er wanted to slip away, but before she left, Lu Tianhan asked her coldly, "What the hell are you doing?"
Lu Xue'er looked back at him with a flat mouth, the so-called knowing daughter Mo Ruo's father, Lu Tianhan knew that Bacheng had something to do with her as soon as he saw Lu Xue'er's expression, so he raised his eyebrows at her, which means.
Lu Xue'er muttered, "She seems to want to create a chance for the two of them to be alone or something."
Xiao Sizi interjected on the side, "Daddy and Jiujiu also left with Lai Lai." ” "There are also mentions of going into the mountains."
Xiao Liangzi added.
"The West Mountain they entered is still the East Mountain, or the area of the mountain col," Yin Hou asked suddenly.
"Col, let's go."
An old man replied.
"Nonsense" Yin Hou stood up and hurriedly went to find Jiutou.
At this time, in the courtyard of the nine-headed grandmother, she was sitting cross-legged at the table.
Wu Yiwu came in with a yawn and asked her, "Are you looking for me?"
Nine heads looked at him and nodded, "I left Zhaozhao and them in the Nameless Tomb." ” Wu Yiyi's yawn was halfway through, his mouth didn't close, and he stood in place stupidly.
Jiutou added again, "Zhao Pu and Mr.
Gongsun are left in the ruins." ” Wu Yiwu gasped, "You" Hong Jiuniang, who followed up behind Wu Yicao, was so good to hear these two sentences that she jumped up in shock, "What should I do if I'm going to die, hurry up and find it back." ” Nine-headed grandmother hugged her arms, "Seeing the truth in adversity" Hong Jiuniang jumped straight and pushed Wu Yiwu in front of her, "You want to think of a way" Wu Yiwu was also anxious, and at this time, Yin Hou walked in from outside the courtyard.
Hong Jiuniang hurriedly ran over, "Palace Master." ” Yin Hou had actually heard it, nodded, and looked at Jiutou, "What did you say to Zhao'er?"
Grandma Nine-Headed said, "I have said everything I know." ” "What's going on" Zou Liang and Ouyang Shaozheng both came to ask, they didn't know what was famous in it, but it was one thing to match or not, if Zhao Pu had some accident, it would be not trivial.
Tianzun said, "Don't be nervous. ” "Sure," Lin Yehuo confirmed.
Yin Hou nodded, "Usually those who die are scared to death, and the courage of the four of them should not be enough." ” Everyone looked at each other.
Grandma Jiutou held her chin and said, "I'll watch them at night, but I must find out the answer before I die." ” Tianzun squinted his eyes and looked at you, and you didn't care about the people in your Demon Palace.
Yin Hou is helpless, she is older than me, how can I care Tianzun crossed his arms and thought for a while, "But it's okay, after so many years, I'm also curious about what is going on." ” Mr.
Bao was confused and asked, "Everyone, can you tell us more about the case?"
Yin Hou nodded, without a sand road, "The mountains behind this Demon Palace, the East Mountain and the West Mountain are all good places, but this mountain col is tsk." ”:
