114, one hundred and fourteenth chapter
The three large flowers are arranged in a very orderly manner, with the three flowers above, middle and lower in order, each of which is the same size.
The three flowers are all round, all of which are made of red pigment. The red one is iron embroidered red, which is the color of a little dry blood. The edges are uneven like wounds cut by a knife.
Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't tell what it felt when she saw that flower, but she was just being cautious for no reason. Although the flower was really beautiful, it was a very exquisite design, Yuan Yuanyuan even suspected that it was a totem.
She has been in the demon world for so long. There are many monster families with exquisite family emblems. She has also seen a lot of totems. There are many monsters who know where they come from just by looking at that totem.
[Group owner: The pattern is very famous, but the little monsters know less now. Mainly, except for the subordinates of the King of Hundred Demons, no one dares to use that now.]
[Black and Red: What are you talking about? Are you talking about that big red flower? That thing is used by Bai Yaowei. By the way, you actually saw this thing in City C? Where is it? Don’t tell others, it’s easy to cause trouble.]
【Circle:... Causing trouble? What trouble?]
[Group owner: Well... I told you a little monster like you, I don't think you understand either. You just don't tell me anyway. That thing actually has its origin. If you want to know, I will tell you, but don't get involved in deeper things.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't care much about the slightly sarcastic tone of Fei Cat. She looked through the fat cat's words below and found that this was actually a rather sad story.
It is said that monsters used to put on makeup before going to the battlefield. This makeup will try to look as delicate as possible. Not only will it become women, but also men.
This is because the probability of monsters surviving at that time was very small, especially when they were on the battlefield, so they must put on makeup, so that even if they died on the battlefield, they would not make themselves look too ugly.
This is the rule of the old monsters in ancient times, and later this custom was gradually abandoned, mainly because the monsters behind them had no leisure and no time.
However, this statement has been slowly passed down. For monsters, putting on makeup on their faces before going to the battlefield always has a poetic and picturesque feeling, just like the ancients' Liushang Qushui, which is very artistic.
Simply put, it is suitable for showing off.
Yuan Yuanyuan silently gave a summary.
This kind of makeup is of particular importance, but it has gradually been lost. Now everyone doesn't know how to transform it. Although the monsters cannot restore it, they used another method. I don't know who suddenly came up with an idea and drew such a big flower on their faces.
This is not a kind of makeup, it is just a symbol. In ancient times, many monsters used nice words to describe monsters with makeup, and the most commonly used word was that their faces were like peach blossoms.
So some monsters used that big flower to symbolize the beautiful face like a peach blossom. For a while, this kind of big flower mask was very popular and children like to wear it during festivals.
later……
Later, the war came. All monsters who were not suitable for appearance on the battlefield wore this mask in unison. The mask gradually developed into a headscarf, which were painted with flowers of the same style, size, and number according to their respective levels.
There are fewer and fewer children wearing this mask during festivals. Today, this mask has another completely different meaning, and they are covered with the blood of monsters.
Yuan Yuanyuan flipped through for a long time and understood the first thing two things: the monster wearing this hood is all officers and soldiers.
The second thing, and this "official"... probably refers to the king of the hundred demons in S City.
After a long time, people were considered "official" soldiers. If we had soldiers here, like this security team that usually defended the safety of C City, they would be considered private soldiers.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought for a long time, and felt something was wrong. After turning a corner, she realized something was wrong. Weishen, the officers and soldiers were private soldiers. Why did this sound so similar to the words used by the intrigue between the princes and the emperor in Ming and Qing dramas? If I remember correctly, I would die early in the morning.
Yuan Yuanyuan didn't want to argue too seriously about this officer and soldier. In fact, her sensitivity to this is a little lower. If she is a little higher, she will find a lot of things.
However, after Yuan Yuanyuan looked at it, she put her phone aside and continued to wipe the glass in front of her.
Liu An came back only at noon, and he came back in a hurry because he was already very late.
This was the first time he came back late. Something happened suddenly last night, which delayed him for a while. He hurried back because he was afraid that the boss would worry.
As a result, as soon as he came back, he found that the boss was actually wiping glass, and the room was full of enthusiasm.
Liu An looked at the boss who was rubbing the glass for no reason, and suddenly saw several glasses on the first floor being broken.
"Wait a minute, what's wrong? Why did several windows break?" Liu An hurried over and asked.
"Brother Liu An! You didn't know last night, but I almost scared me to death. A group of people suddenly broke in with masks." Tang Shi gestured at Liu An with her hands and feet.
"Okay, don't tell him, you can have a meal first, and then talk about it after dinner." Yuan Yuanyuan waved her hand and interrupted their conversation.
Although Liu An was a little confused, he quickly helped him.
When Yuan Yuanyuan was rubbing the glass casually here, the outside was completely different from the peaceful scene in the shop.
"Since nothing happened to him, everyone can go back." An old man sighed deeply in the hut on the mountain, "We have been busy all night, please go back and rest quickly."
After hearing this, the monsters in the room prepared to go back one after another. Unexpectedly, the old man behind him said, "Lin Gutou and Lian Sanniang stay."
Two people stopped, one was a woman in white who was about to go out, and the other was a man who looked around bored all night by the door.
The others in the room didn't feel any strange feeling, as if this happened often.
The two of them were still standing in the room after everyone else left.
"My sir, what are your instructions?" asked the man named Lin Gutou. He leaned against the window, as if there were no bones, and he would rely on whatever he caught.
"This time they came in casually... bones." The old man sighed deeply, "Next time they don't know if they will break in unscrupulously and cut off my head."
"My sir, you are at your age, can't you think about a little more peaceful thing?" Lin Gutou said. "Although I look down on this small place in our place... But how to say it, we are not someone else's toilet after all, so we can go there at will."
After hearing this, the old man in front of him picked up a brush next to him and threw it hard at him, "We are indeed not someone else's toilet! Good boy, what you said is even more cruel than others."
"Can we... open the cover again?" Lian Sanniang said hesitantly: "We really can't hold on here recently... Not only is the communication with the King of Hundred Demons a little uncomfortable, but the surrounding cities have also begun to move recently."
"Yes." Lin Gutou rubbed his eyes. "Those psychopaths have been playing the Hundred Ghost Night Walk every day, so they are walking here, just like they are afraid that we can't see it here. Can we also make Hundred Ghost Night Walk one day to go to the border?"
"This is showing your strength." The old man said, "You can't drive it anymore... It's enough to mess with others when you drive it twice. I guess everyone will know that something is wrong here."
Lin Gutou looked at the blue sky outside.
Actually, that cover is officially called the C City Guardian, but in the eyes of most monsters, that thing is a shameful cover.
About a hundred years ago, the sky in City C had always been a blue color, whether it was day or night.
Although that thing did protect the lives of many civilians during the war, to be honest, Lin Gutou himself alone couldn't like this cover. Every time he saw the blue color in the sky, he always felt upset.
Speaking of which, the monster who proposed to make this cover was also very interesting. This guy is now in a small clothing store in the childhood area to retire, but later... he seems to be the one who annoyed the cover the most.
"Yuan's strength is a bit different from what I thought." The old man said again, "So far, those who have escaped from Hongshajing are basically the most powerful and their lifespan will be reduced very shortly. However, according to the people who just came back last night, Yuan took almost no time to deal with those people."
"How long does it take?" Lin Gutou looked up at the old man.
"It's about twenty minutes. But there was a little girl beside him at that time. He had disappeared for a while and probably sent that little girl away."
"Awesome." Lian Sanniang next to her sighed. "I went to thirty-seven three flowers and two four flowers yesterday. I guess there are not many monsters in the world that can solve so many people in this time."
"We don't know what is actually said in the Blood Jade Demon Skill now." Lin Gutou said, "But now it seems... it may have something different from ordinary demon skills."
"The head of the Li family did not come yesterday, and he did not come today. He said it was to avoid suspicion, but in fact..." the old man said.
"Old man, what happened to the Li family and Yuan back then? You have never explained it clearly to us?" Lin Gutou said.
"Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing, not to mention that I didn't know much about the past." The old man said, "But I think the head of the Li family guarded the Yuan and guarded it too carefully... He has never had any active contact with us since he came back. Sanniang went to find him, and he was not very interested. After all, he used a quota for aristocratic family to make him agree to stay."
"I think Yuan has taken the initiative to show weakness and does not participate in the affairs of the senior management. I don't mention it back then. I thought he chose to find a place to stay quietly because he knew that his life span was not long. But yesterday it seemed..." A deep line appeared on the old man's face, "He seems... there is no difference between him and that year."
“It’s all the same and it’s hard to guess.”
The old man looked out the window, where there was a tall tree with purple flowers blooming on it.
"Yuan, what are you thinking?"
...
Yuan Yuanyuan was wiping the glass while listening to the chat between Liu An and Tang Shi, "Why are you back so late?"
"I met something yesterday... someone came to us to make trouble and almost had an accident." Liu An smiled embarrassedly. He never mentioned where he worked because he was afraid that the boss would think that the scavenger was an unlucky job.
As he said, he carefully touched a mark on the back of his hand, which was scratched last night...
"Liu An, have you considered what I told you?" Yuan Yuanyuan said, "You have been living in other places in the past few days. When you are fine, I will observe for a few days first. Remember to practice the one I teach you."
"Okay." Liu An said. "I'll stay at my friend's place for a few days."
He remembered the woman he met yesterday.
Tsk. I hope I won’t meet her again in the future.
Liu An continued to wipe the window desperately, and suddenly found a trace of red dot that was not easy to detect on the window.
He paused his movements, then wiped off the red dot with a rag, as if he had not found anything.
