Chapter 468 Rehe Palace (6)
Chen Shuqing did not start the story immediately, but waved her hand lazily at the door, and a wave of air rushed towards the other side, causing the half-closed door to close together.
The second thing is that she is afraid that someone will overhear the conversation between the two. She just wants to keep a close eye, maintain a lukewarm attitude, and always be in a dominant position in front of Hu Gu.
Moreover, before, Chen Shuqing had been lying on the side of the bed, deliberately showing her neglect of Hu Gu. Only after closing the door did she sit up slowly and straightened.
Hu Gu naturally saw Chen Shuqing's rude attitude and jokingly said, "I still like the way you look when you praise me during the day. That is probably the friendliest time you have been in my life, even if it is completely false..."
Chen Shuqing responded to this with a painless smile, and then said: "We have also encountered strange things related to the bear demon. After passing the Great Wall, in Shuntian Mansion, we met a villager, whose two sons and a daughter, both in the process of turning from humans to bears. The villager was a carpenter. According to him, last year he came to Chengde Summer Resort to engage in a major repair activity. At that time, he brought three children here with him. After returning, the bodies of the three children changed.
Hu Gu said in a daze: "Is that so? From this point of view, the Chengde Summer Resort must have something to do with the bear demon. The key to the problem is, what did they encounter in the villa?"
Chen Shuqing said: "According to their recollection, everything was normal during the period when we were here to stay, and nothing strange happened. Moreover, the aura here was isolated, and Pu Zixuan could not find any demonic energy, so we could not analyze it."
"That's strange..." Hu Gu couldn't help frowning, "Why did his three children change? The carpenter himself has no problem? Also, there are so many jobs in Chengde Summer Resort, but one is good at it? Is there any monster selectively demonizing humans, such as just targeting children... But it's not right. The bear monster I met doesn't look like a child..."
Chen Shuqing pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "If I know the truth, why should I have to work hard to sneak into this dangerous place? I just believe that in this vast world, there will always be someone who knows the truth behind it... Ouyang Zhiguo is a man, but he is gone. Then, the only one who may know the truth is the only one who may know the truth is the butler of this villa - Fashi Shanga."
When Hu Gu heard the name "Master Shanga", he was stunned again, and then whispered: "Do you think what that Master Shanga said today is the truth?"
"Haha, so what if it's the truth, so what if it's not the truth? We are just relying on others and facing him in a false identity. Even if we know what he has hidden, can we still question him?" Chen Shuqing sighed and turned around, "But, if you have any thoughts about his words, you might as well say it."
Hu Gu sneered: "I don't believe the origin of the Moon Pond he told, it's just a false story. The scenery is quite stylish and interesting, but it's not included in the thirty-six scenes. It's really puzzling. He Tianao and I watched it for a long time, and the more we looked at the 'moon' in the pool, the more we felt evil."
Chen Shuqing disagreed and said, "But it is indeed the projection of sunlight passing through the crescent cave in the rockery. You can't just give someone a 'presumption of guilt' just because we are monsters and are naturally sensitive to the moon?"
"But the story he told also has huge loopholes. Didn't you find it?"
"Oh? Where is the loophole?" Chen Shuqing asked with interest.
"He said that in despair, an old man carrying a wooden barrel to deliver water shouted loudly outside the villa to sell the moon. May I ask, Wenjin Pavilion is located deep in the Chengde Mountain Resort, how can the craftsmen hear the shouting outside the villa? Could it be that they are all full and have nothing to do, and are waiting for death outside the villa? Besides, who is this old man, why is he shouting for selling the moon without thinking? It is really a bit inexplicable. He made up stories entirely for the sake of making up stories, and his purpose is nothing more than one - it makes people feel that this companion Yuechi is just a little joke, and his status in Chengde Mountain Resort is not important at all."
Chen Shuqing chewed Hu Gu's analysis carefully, nodded slightly, and then said seriously: "The insight is good. It seems that the moon pool is indeed worth studying and studying. However, Hu Gu, even if you tell me this, I will not thank you. We will still rely on ourselves to find the truth about Chengde Summer Resort and the whereabouts of the Eternal Night Forest. We will not let the demon world harm the world, nor will we let Huo Zhizhang's ambitions succeed."
Hu Gu said disdainfully: "It doesn't matter. I haven't thought about your reward. But who told you to be my lovely sister? It won't hurt my plan for the New World Association at the right time."
Chen Shuqing snorted coldly, "You swear a 'lovely sister', and your mouth is very sweet, but I want to ask you, where are you, the brother when Brother Duo came to Pujiazhuang? I have been in the cave for 60 years, and when I was the most helpless, where are you? Since you have said that the fox demon clan does not have so many boring feelings of love, then please don't keep this boring name on your lips, I feel disgusting."
Hu Gu was said to have a weak point. He did not expect that on this occasion, Chen Shuqing found out the old accounts of more than a hundred years ago. His expression suddenly became dim and said in a deep voice: "Whether you believe it or not, in fact, I was much later than you gaining human wisdom. That night, when Ge Duo arrived in Pujiazhuang, although I saw all this from afar, I was still a ignorant pure demon at that time, and my memory was also vague. I only knew that Pu Songling killed our mother and was our enemy. I could not give him any sympathy. As for the sixty years you have been in that cave, I didn't want to come and see you, but in those years, I couldn't move at all."
"Can't move?" Chen Shuqing looked at Hu Gu in surprise. Only then did she realize that the half demon sitting opposite her did not pop out of the stone a hundred and fifty years later. He must have had his own bumpy experiences during those long years.
Why did he become a half demon? Where did he learn human wisdom and obtain such a strange name?
Hu Gu smiled sadly and said in a deep voice: "It's shameful to say that after Ge Duo was sealed, my demonic power dropped rapidly, but I didn't know the reason at that time, and I thought I had a serious illness. So for a while, with the cleverness of the fox, I searched for yam all over the mountains and fields to eat. One day, after eating a strange creature half insect and half grass, my body gradually became numb until I couldn't move, and turned into a fox-shaped grass in a rarely-traveled valley. I thought I would just die, but I didn't expect that my consciousness was always clear, probably because the plants could absorb nutrients from the ground... I watched helplessly as the spring, summer, autumn and winter slowly changed in front of my eyes, and watched the stars.
Move and watch the sun and the moon rise and fall. About ninety years later, a man accidentally passed by that place and saw me, so he took me out. He used many insects for me to fight poison, which restored me to its original state. I was deeply grateful to him, so he decided to follow him... Later, he taught me the language of humans, transfusions of blood, turned me into a half demon, and named me with the word "Gu", asking me not to forget this experience. It was also at that time that I realized that he was a Miao person and a member of the Tiandihui Society. Of course, compared with life, this is not important at all. Since I agreed to follow him, I joined the Tiandihui Society without hesitation... Haha, I have never told this history of President Huo."
After saying that, Hu Gu stretched out his right hand, spread his palm, and gathered the demonic energy on his hand. In an instant, a multi-headed worm emerged from the palm.
"Look, this is a kind of evil trick I mastered after that experience. Anything I hit will produce poisons that can make the opponent feel in pain and even die immediately. But I didn't use this trick when I was fighting against you, right?"
After saying that, Hu Gu clenched his fist hard, and the worm immediately burst into a thick green slurry.
