Agarwood Like Crumbs (Immortal Samsara)

Chapter 16: Behind The Puzzle

Tang Zhou recalled what happened. From the moment he entered the cemetery, he kept thinking about what he saw and heard in the cold well water last night. The more he thought about it, the more he felt wrong. The coffin of the former empress is located in the stone chamber, and there is another passage behind it. The common tomb is usually the tomb at the end. Moreover, in the secret path behind, there are broken dragon stones cast with profound iron, and the decoration of the stone chamber at the end of the secret path is too elegant and incompatible with the cemetery itself.

After he and YanDan were trapped by the Broken Dragon Stone, it was Shen Xiang Jun who came to find them. If she understands the language of birds and she is slanderous, then she is very familiar with this cemetery. But who is Tao ZiQi? Is she really a snake-hearted woman as Shen XiangJun said?

Last night, he already knew that the words Mr. Shen said to him before were not clean and untrue, so can he believe what Shen YiJun said? The two of them agree on the not-so-critical issues, but they are totally different when they encounter the most important part. One of them must have told a lie, or both of them have said a lie. Then, what is the key to this?

The truth has gradually become clear, and only a little clue can be revealed.

But what is the thread that leads to the truth?

He was thinking slowly, when he heard a few knocks from outside the door, he said casually, "Please come in." Hearing only a silver bell-like laughter, Shen XiangJun rushed in with a hand. Holding a plate with a few bright red apples in it, "These apples are so good-looking. When I saw them, I couldn't help but bite them, but my sister scolded them. She said they were unclean." Put the apple on the table and said with a smile, "Now I have washed it before sending it to you. It's not dirty."

Tang Zhou looked at the plate of apples and shook his head, "I don't want to eat yet, wait a while."

Shen XiangJun flattened her mouth, "Okay."

Tang Zhou suddenly asked, "Where did my junior sister go, why haven't they come back?"

Shen XiangJun was stunned, "I haven't seen her. I'll ask my sister if she has seen her."

Tang Zhou thought that she would not be able to get out of Shen's house, let alone any accidents, so he said, "You don't have to ask specifically. Junior sister has always been naughty, and I don't know where she go to play."

Shen XiangJun leaned on the table, staring at him without blinking, "I and the bird often play hide and seek, what do you guys play?"

Tang Zhou thought for a while and said, "Catch monsters." He caught YanDan casually.

Shen XiangJun asked again, "What happens after the catch?"

"...When the monster escapes, catch it back again." This sentence is completely truthful, "Because there is a kind of monster that is very clever, so you have to speak with you."

Shen XiangJun was completely confused and said at a loss, "Really..."

Tang Zhou didn't know what he thought of, and he suddenly smiled, "Occasionally, I will encounter the kind of demon who understands the world and knows how to deal with the world. They are doglegs and act like coquettish. When they speak, they will only pick what is nice and irrelevant.

Shen XiangJun looked at him and couldn't help saying, "I don't think you're talking about monsters, but rather like...I can't tell what it looks like, anyway, monsters are definitely not so interesting."

Tang Zhou was slightly startled, suddenly felt that the things in front of him seemed to start to shake. He stood up on his own support, but his body was weak, he staggered back a few steps and fell on the edge of the bed. Seeing him like this, Shen Xiang Jun suddenly jumped up and ran out of the guest room, yelling, "Sister, sister, come soon, someone is sick here! Come and see!"
