Chapter 467: The Toad in the Well
Tang family residence.
When the taxi turned around, the exhaust was like a rocket taking off into the sky, and it disappeared in a flash.
Shang Zhen sighed: "Look, you scared the driver to death."
Ye Xiaomei pinched her brows in pain. Just now on the road, she couldn't control herself and disappeared. The driver was very kind and even praised Ye Xiaomei for her good looks as soon as she got in the car.
Who knew we were talking about which school we went to, but when we turned around, the person was gone.
At that time, Shang's heart almost jumped out of his throat. His mind was in a mess and he was frantically trying to find an excuse to explain it, but his brain hadn't even thought half way through.
The driver's face turned pale, and he almost lost his grip on the steering wheel and hit a roadside telephone pole. He finally adjusted the direction.
At this moment, Ye Xiaomei appeared again.
The driver was so frightened that he dared not utter a word. He was extremely nervous throughout the whole journey, and from time to time he looked at Ye Xiaomei through the rearview mirror, his eyes filled with fear.
Ye Xiaomei sighed: "I think the driver would think he saw a ghost."
Shang Zhen pursed his lips and nodded earnestly: "You should try to become more familiar with the Yang Shen, otherwise I will go crazy too."
The two of them entered the Tang family's house while talking.
Qiu Ah Man had already brought several of his men to the house to welcome them.
Ye Xiaomei couldn't help but get a little nervous, but she couldn't suddenly disappear in front of so many people:
"Well, I come here often. You guys should just do what you need to do. I just want to go to Baiyu Temple to take a look."
Qiu Ah Man nodded without saying anything, and with a wave of his hand, several people dispersed.
But she didn't leave, but followed closely behind.
Ye Xiaomei always felt a burning sensation behind her, but she was too embarrassed to stop someone from following her, after all, this was the Tang family residence.
Shang Zhen knew it very well, and he was afraid that his sudden disappearance would scare people, so he simply walked a few steps side by side with Qiu Ah Man.
"How many bodyguards do you have here?"
Qiu Ah's serious face gives people the intuitive impression that he is fierce, and with the scar on his forehead, at first glance he looks like Erlang Shen.
"There are more than a thousand people inside and outside the palace." Qiu Ah Man said calmly.
Shang Zhen's mouth twitched a few times. Damn, they are almost forming an army.
"I don't remember the errand boy."
Qiu Ah Meng added a sentence.
Ye Xiaomei sighed secretly - having money but nowhere to spend it.
Ye Xiaomei walked through the Tang family's villas and horse farms with ease. She also saw a group of slender hunting dogs running wildly in the fence of a large field.
Those people were obviously dog trainers. The wild rabbits they threw out were chased all over the place by the dogs.
"I wonder if Miss Ye is going to Baiyu Temple to see the Black Toad King that was brought back last time?" Qiu Ah Man asked tentatively.
"I have this idea." Ye Xiaomei answered calmly.
She just wanted to try whether she could control her yang energy freely, so that no matter what she was doing, it would not interfere with other things.
This time I just went to see the black toad.
It took a full hour to walk from the south gate of the Tang family residence to the Baiyu Temple at the foot of the mountain in the north.
Damn it! The more Ye Xiaomei thought about it, the more her scalp tingled. She had known Tang Buci for such a long time, but she had never visited the Tang family residence. But she could imagine how big it was. It felt like it was as big as Hongmei Village.
The further north you go, the deserted the pavilion becomes, until there is only an uphill road left.
The porch of Baiyu Temple had been renovated at that time, but the interior was in a mess because it had been bombed. It was also winter, and the dead grass and fallen leaves on the ground looked particularly bleak. The tender shoots and weeds sprouting from under the dead branches added a touch of liveliness.
Thu, thu, thu! Rustling sounds came from all directions as Ye Xiaomei came in.
Ye Xiaomei glanced around and found that they were some white snakes. However, they did not flee in all directions. They were clearly surrounding this place.
Qiu Ah Man stopped outside Baiyu Temple because Tang Bushi had said that no one could enter this place except himself and Ye Xiaomei.
"Oh my god, there are so many snakes." Shang Zhen rubbed towards Ye Xiaomei.
"Maybe it's spring, a lot of little snakes have been born." Ye Xiaomei said lightly, walking towards the main hall.
The stone statues in the main hall are gone, but there are rows of tables, which seem to be a place for collective meals. However, looking back, this place was abandoned within two months of being sold and renovated.
"What about the black toad?" Shang Zhen was also very curious. When she was at Ye Xiaomei's hometown, she didn't join in the fun. It could be said that she had never seen it at all.
Ye Xiaomei was also looking for it. That thing was so lazy that no one knew how long it would take to be petrified.
But this thing likes shade.
Ye Xiaomei returned to the yard and stopped in the southeast corner, stretching her head to look into the dry well.
It was not a big deal when she saw this, Ye Xiaomei almost fell to the ground.
Shang Zhen even shouted: "What the hell is this?"
Ye Xiaomei calmed herself down. Oh my god, the walls at the bottom of the dry well were covered with glowing stones of all sizes. Aren’t those black toad eggs?
"These are black toad eggs."
When Ye Xiaomei said this, Shang Zhen scratched his head as if he had eaten a fly: "It's so fucking creepy."
Yes, if someone has trypophobia, he would probably have a seizure on the spot.
But Ye Xiaomei was not worried about this. She actually did not understand the reproduction cycle of the black toad stone. If things continued like this, wouldn't the entire Baiyu Temple become a toad's nest sooner or later? It would be difficult to hide it then.
It looks like we have to transport the black toad to Changshou Village as soon as possible.
And there are these white snakes. Ye Xiaomei's scalp tingles just thinking about them.
Moreover, this is the north of the Tang family residence, and Baiyuguan faces south and is backed by green mountains. The environment is most suitable for the survival of these yin animals.
At this moment, Ye Xiaomei found that her crotch was itchy and thought there was a white snake under her butt.
Looking down, I saw a palm-sized sapling.
The leaves are bright red.
Ye Xiaomei's pupils shrank: "Red Maple Tree!"
Shang Zhen then noticed: "Yes, Xiao Mei, isn't this just an ordinary maple tree? You can find them everywhere."
Ye Xiaomei pretended not to hear anything and carefully observed the tender maple branch.
At first glance, it looks no different from an ordinary red maple, but it is regarded as a sacred tree by the Changshou Village and is regarded as the spiritual eye of the Chinese by the world. There must be something different about it.
What's more, it just happens to grow in this place, so it's naturally different.
Ye Xiaomei stared at the sapling that had only seven or eight maple leaves. Her pupils shrank. At first glance, she couldn't tell, but now she finally discovered something different.
That is, the trunk of this maple tree has a light pink color, which is much lighter than the red of the leaves.
And the leaves of this tree are red indeed, but the veins are dark red, like the color of solidified blood.
Ye Xiaomei said this about what she had observed.
Shang Zhen then noticed: "Yeah, you have sharp eyes."
As he spoke, he pinched a leaf, and instantly, blood-red liquid appeared on Shang Zhen's thumb and ring finger.
Ye Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat, but before she could say anything, the incident happened.
