The old man Wang who sells cooking cakes has been crying there. The whole world is lonely, as if he is the only one. The old figure is stuck in the grave and becomes a colorless grave.
Looking from a distance, even though the ancient star tree was a taboo of life and contained infinite vitality, what Sulin saw in his eyes was endless death energy.
The old man was like a dead tree at the end of his life. He stood hunched upright in the sunny afternoon for an hour.
Finally, the wine dried up and so did the tears. The old man put down the fruit, burned the paper, and walked in alone against the sunset.
The setting sun was as red as blood, and Old Man Wang limped out of Su Lin's sight.
Until his figure disappeared at the end of the horizon, Su Lin also prepared the shovel to dig into the grave, and started doing something that was outrageous to both humans and gods.
After a period of digging, he slowly saw the dark coffin from before. Putting down the shovel in his hand, Su Lin used his left hand to open the lid of the coffin with great effort.
Upon entering, as expected by Su Lin, there were some simple women's clothes. Judging from the degree of corrosion, it seems that it was buried not long ago. It may be that after the death of his eldest daughter, Mr. Wang spent a lot of effort to collect his daughter's clothes to commemorate his memory.
After peeling off the woman's messy and blood-stained clothes, there was a clanking sound, and in an inconspicuous corner of the coffin, a gold-plated iron ring as thick as an adult's hand slowly rolled out of the clothes.
Su Lin looked happy, picked it up, and slowly put it in the palm of his hand. Several golden fonts inexplicably appeared in his mind:
[Congratulations to the player for finding the bride-to-be's collar. At this moment, the bride is being locked in a secret room by the Master of the Cheng Mansion because she has lost her collar. She is anxiously waiting for the lost collar, but she has been waiting to no avail. The Master of the Cheng Mansion has decided to wait for it tonight. Eat it when you are young...]
"Cheng Jinghui actually cannibalize people?" Su Lin touched his nose and felt that the problem was not as simple as he thought, and why must he choose to eat people at this time, and why must he choose today? Special day to get married.
It is very likely that the bride-to-be was accidentally trapped in some kind of secret room after arriving at Cheng's house. The reason why Cheng Jinghui chose this day should have a special meaning, such as some kind of cause and effect with this day, or a certain obsession. I want to break through on this day and get rid of control.
But this way of getting rid of control seems to be accomplished by swallowing the woman, which is very similar to the story in the legend of the river god. But as luck would have it, the bride accidentally bumped into something, which delayed Cheng Jinghui's swallowing for some time.
He may want to break some kind of seal or barrier, or it may be because Zishi is the place where Yin Qi is strongest. Devouring a woman at this time may achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Of course, all this is just Sulin's conjecture. The most important thing at the moment was that he had to return the bride's collar as soon as possible, so that he could rescue the bride, although he didn't know there was any inevitable connection between rescuing the bride and rolling the hoop.
While walking in the direction of Cheng's Mansion, he was thinking of ways to enter Cheng's Mansion, and the most likely way to sneak into Cheng's Mansion at the moment was to act out.
Originally, Su Lin wanted to get some information by talking to Old Man Wang or getting some of Old Wang's belongings as evidence to enter the Cheng Mansion. However, he learned from matchmaker Liu that it seemed that Old Man Wang himself was not favored by the Cheng Mansion. .
And judging from what Old Man Liu was talking to himself crazily just now, he hated Cheng Mansion and Cheng Jinghui so much that he even contemplated committing suicide.
Su Lin could see that it seemed that he no longer had the ability to pry out information from the other party. He only left a faint trace of the spiritual power of the ancient star tree in Old Man Wang's body when he left.
If he still wants to commit suicide, this spiritual power may be able to stop him. In addition, Old Man Wang has said that he wants to find out about his second daughter.
So if she could successfully save his daughter, then Old Man Wang would not have to commit suicide, because there would now be another person in the world that she could care about.
Thinking of this, he decided to find another way to enter the Cheng Mansion.
Su Lin came from the real world and had roughly learned some makeup techniques when he first entered the town. From Xiao Er's mouth, he also heard someone he wanted to imitate or play.
That person was Cheng Yaojin, the father of Cheng Jinghui.
When he was in the underground tunnel, he mistakenly entered the desert border where Old Man Qihuang lived. Two armies faced each other, one was the Tang Ming Empire, and the other was the Barbarian Legion, which was always known for its barbarism.
In order to create conflicts and allow himself to escape smoothly, he used the second-level monster spirit core dyed red with blood as the star fruit, causing internal strife in the Barbarian Legion.
In the end, Su Lin's spirit sent a message to Cheng Yaojin, allowing him to spot the right opportunity and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. In the battle, the barbarians were defeated, and the old man Qihuang fled.
After this battle, the morale of the Tang and Ming empires was greatly boosted, and the myth of the barbarians' invincibility was slowly shed. The diplomatic method of appeasing the barbarians by marrying princesses also gradually receded into the background.
Speaking of which, he could be regarded as helping Cheng Yaojin. At this moment, Su Lin had no intention of dressing up as Cheng Yaojin and even tricking the other party's son. He had no intention of blaspheming the hero.
Moreover, due to the close contact, he slowly recalled Cheng Yaojin's spirit and the scene when he mobilized the soldiers, and gradually gained a preliminary grasp of the opponent's personality.
He did what he said, because Cheng Yaojin was a little fat, so he first went to a cotton dumpling store and bought some cotton wool to fill his belly and sides, and also bought a black striped robe.
In his impression, Cheng Yaojin, whether in this world or in the novel, seemed to like to wear a black robe, with wide sleeves, a rich figure, and some old and shrewd heroes between his brows. The spirit.
After rouge, gouache, eyebrow pencil and Su Lin's homemade makeup base were all ready, he began to trace the benevolent yet majestic old man according to the impression in his memory.
After preparing this set of things and purchasing them previously, he spent almost all the silver taels that Mr. Xue gave to Su Lin. Looking at the only thirty taels of silver left, his mood was as if the three hundred Easter eggs had suddenly changed. It is as beautiful as sixteen.
After about two sticks of incense, Su Linbi slightly traced the outline of Cheng Yaojin on the bronze mirror in the store. Coupled with some of Cheng Yaojin's characteristics, he should be sixty percent sure that he could deceive Cheng Jinghui. .
Being able to describe it to such an extent is already the limit of Su Lin's makeup skills. After all, he is not a metamorphosis person in the "transformation sequence". He cannot achieve simultaneous changes in body shape and face, let alone a spiritual resemblance.
The only drawback is that his right arm feels defective, making it easy for the opponent to find flaws.
Fortunately, the sleeves of the black robe were very wide. He unscrewed the iron rod given by Chu Xuan from the middle, and in an instant the iron rod turned into a pair of short sticks like nunchucks.
It seems that their length is about the same as an adult's arm. You can put it in the wide sleeves or use it as an arm to confuse the other party.
Since Cheng Yaojin learned that Cheng Jinghui was insane, he left him alone in this small town and lived in a prosperous place in the capital. He rarely visited the small town in these years, so Cheng Jinghui must not have had the same impression of him. Not very profound.
Moreover, a son naturally has a sense of awe for his father, especially in a martial arts family like Cheng Yaojin. As long as he does not lose his momentum, he can be sure that Cheng Jinghui will not see any flaws.
In addition, in order to enter the Cheng Mansion, Su Lin did much more than that. He also used the remaining silver to visit two or three young men from other places like him, and also took out some precious medicinal materials to treat those who were previously in the house. The black-clothed boy named Brother Park in the teahouse bribed him.
In addition, a war horse and Cheng Yaojin's commonly used weapon, the three-blade ax, were also prepared.
Originally, he thought that the three-blade ax was Cheng Yaojin's exclusive weapon and could not be purchased. This was the only flaw in this plan.
Unexpectedly, people in this small town also admired Cheng Yaojin very much, and there were even many children, people in the market, and people in the world who imitated Cheng Yaojin.
He just entered an iron shop and made a routine inquiry when the clerk in the shop exclaimed: "Are you General Cheng? You...are you back from the capital?"
Su Lin then remembered that he was still wearing the black robe Cheng Yaojin always wore at this moment, and he also had an awkward makeup on his face.
Regarding the "misrecognition" of the shop clerk, Su Lin was not angry but happy, and said as a superior: "The ax that was made earlier was damaged in the war. Do you have a new ax here?"
"Yes, yes, old general, it's great that you can patronize our shop. Our little shop... all that stuff is ashes!"
The boy scratched his head and scratched his head for a long time, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he choked out a sentence: "Yes, it will make our shop coated with a layer of golden dust."
Su Lin knew that what he wanted to say was "Pengpi Shenghui", but Cheng Yaojin was a martial artist, and he was generally not as literate as his clerks. To say these four words from his mouth would not be in line with Cheng Yaojin's personality. The character is set.
"Let's take out the ax and take a look at it first." Su Lin said with a straight face and said no more. Talking too much will lead to mistakes.
The young man nodded, and then took out a long ax as black as black iron from the back room of the iron shop. Su Lin held it heavily in his hand, and it was very textured. He knew it was a good ax at a glance.
"Just this one, how much does it cost?" Su Lin looked at the ax and nodded. The texture of the ax should be expensive. If he couldn't afford to pay and attract onlookers, his plan would be ruined.
If it really doesn't work, then don't want it. You can't buy or sell by force. It seemed possible to use a long sword instead. He remembered that during the battlefield, Cheng Yaojin also drew his sword, but the effect did not seem to be as shocking as the axe.
"This ax is made of fine iron that my father accidentally obtained. It took seven, seven and forty-nine days of continuous beating. The exclusive pattern of a six-pointed star is also engraved on the ax handle. It is of far-reaching significance. All it takes is this number."
With that said, the waiter stretched out three fingers towards Su Lin.
Three taels, luckily it's not expensive. I still have about five taels left, so it's more than enough to buy this axe.
But then he heard the little boy say in his ear: "You only need three hundred taels to buy this axe."
"What? Three hundred taels for an axe?" Su Lin suddenly heard the man's asking price, and almost spit a mouthful of blood into his face.
