114, Chapter 114

The three big ones were arranged in a very orderly manner, with the top, middle and bottom three flowers arranged in sequence, and each flower was the same size.

All three flowers were round, and all were painted red. That red was iron embroidery red, which was the color of dried blood. The edges were uneven, like a wound cut by a knife.

Yuan Yuanyuan couldn't tell what she felt when she saw that kind of flower, she just felt unreasonably nervous. Although the flower was really beautiful, it was a very delicate design, and Yuan Yuanyuan even suspected that it was a totem.

She had been in the demon world for so long, and many demon families had very delicate family emblems. She had also seen a lot of totems, and many demons knew where they came from just by looking at that totem.

[Group leader: That pattern is very famous, but now the little demons know less about it, mainly because no one dares to use it except the subordinates of the King of Hundred Demons. ]

[Black and red: What are you talking about? Are you talking about that big red flower? That thing is used by the Hundred Demon Guards. You actually saw this thing in City C? Where is it? Don't tell anyone, it's easy to cause trouble. ]

[Circle: ... Cause trouble? What trouble? ]

[Group leader: Well... I don't think you understand even if I tell a little demon like you, so just don't say anything. That thing actually has a history. If you want to know, I'll tell you, but don't get involved in deeper things, you're just a naive person... Tsk tsk. ]

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't pay much attention to the slightly sarcastic tone of Fat Cat. She flipped through Fat Cat's words below and found that this was actually a pretty sad story.

It is said that demons in the past would put on makeup before going to the battlefield. This makeup would try to be delicate and beautiful, not only for women, but also for men.

This is because the probability of demons surviving at that time was very small, especially when they went to the battlefield, so they had to put on makeup, so that even if they died on the battlefield, they would not look too ugly.

This was the rule of the old monsters in ancient times. Later, this custom was gradually abandoned, mainly because the monsters later did not have the leisure and time.

However, this saying has been slowly passed down. For monsters, putting on makeup on their faces before going to the battlefield always has a poetic feeling, just like the ancient people's wine and water, which is very artistic.

In short, it is suitable for pretending.

Yuan Yuanyuan silently made a summary.

This kind of makeup is very particular, but it has gradually been lost. Now everyone does not know how to do it specifically. Although the monsters have no way to restore it, they have used another method. I don’t know who suddenly came up with an idea and painted such a big flower on the face.

This is not a kind of makeup, it is just a symbol. In ancient times, many monsters used nice words to describe those monsters who put on makeup. The most used word is face like peach blossoms.

So there are monsters who use that big flower to symbolize that beautiful face like a peach blossom. For a while, this kind of mask with big flowers was very popular, and children loved to wear it during festivals.

Later...

Later, the war came. All the monsters who were not suitable to show their faces on the battlefield wore this kind of mask. The mask gradually developed into a headgear, with flowers of the same style, different sizes and numbers painted on it according to their respective levels.

There are fewer and fewer children wearing this kind of mask during festivals. Today, this kind of mask has another completely different meaning. They are all stained with the blood of monsters.

Yuan Yuanyuan flipped through it for a long time and understood two things-the first thing is that the monsters wearing this headgear are all officers and soldiers.

The second thing, and this "official"... probably refers to the king of all monsters in S city.

After a long time, they are considered "official" soldiers. If we have soldiers here, just like this security team that usually protects the safety of C city, they are considered private soldiers.

Yuan Yuanyuan pondered for a long time, and felt that something was wrong. After a turn, she realized what was wrong - why did the words "official soldiers and private soldiers" sound so much like the words used in the Ming and Qing dramas to intrigue between the princes of different surnames and the emperor? If I remember correctly, I would have died early in the morning.

Yuan Yuanyuan didn't want to take this official soldier and private soldier too seriously. In fact, her sensitivity to this was a little low. If it was a little higher, she could find a lot of things.

However, after reading it, Yuan Yuanyuan put her phone aside and continued to wipe the glass in front of her.

Liu An didn't come back until noon. He came back in a hurry because he came back very late.

This was the first time he came back late. Something happened suddenly last night, which delayed him for a while. He came back in a hurry because he was afraid that the boss would worry.

As a result, when he came back, he found that the boss was actually wiping the glass, and the room was in full swing.

Liu An looked at the boss who was cleaning the glass in confusion, and suddenly saw that several windows on the first floor were broken.

"Wait, what happened? Why are there several broken windows?" Liu An hurried over to ask.

"Brother Liu An! You don't know last night, I was almost scared to death. A group of people suddenly broke in, wearing masks." Tang Shi gestured to Liu An.

"Okay, don't tell him, hurry up and eat first, and then talk after dinner." Yuan Yuanyuan waved her hand and interrupted their conversation.

Although Liu An was a little confused, he quickly helped to do it.

While Yuan Yuanyuan was cleaning the glass casually here, the peaceful scene outside was not at all like that in the small shop.

"Since nothing happened to him, everyone can go back." In the hut on the mountain, an old man sighed deeply, "Everyone has been busy all night, so please go back and rest quickly."

After hearing these words, the monsters in the room prepared to go back one after another. Unexpectedly, the old man behind him said again, "Please also ask Lin Gu Gu and Lian Sanniang to stay."

Two people stopped, one was a woman in white who was about to go out, and the other was a man who had been leaning against the door and looking around in boredom all night.

No one else in the room had any weird feelings, like this happened all the time.

The two of them still stood in the room after everyone else left.

"Excuse me, sir, do you have any other orders?" asked the man named Lin Gu Gu. He leaned against the window as if he had no bones, leaning wherever he could.

"This time they came in casually... Bones." The old man sighed deeply, "Next time they don't know whether they will break in unscrupulously and cut off my head."

"No sir, at your age now, can't you just think about more peaceful things?" Lin Gu Gu said. "Although I look down on our little place...but after all, ours is not someone else's toilet. You can come and go as you please."

After hearing this, the old man in front of him picked up a brush next to him and threw it at him, "This is indeed not someone else's toilet! Good boy, what you said is harsher than others."

"Can we... open the hood again?" Lian Sanniang said hesitantly: "We have really been unable to hold on here recently... not only is the communication with the King of Demons a bit unsmooth, but also Recently, the surrounding cities have begun to stir up excitement.”

"That's right." Lin Gugu rubbed his eyes, "Those lunatics have been playing Hundred Ghosts at Night lately, and they just wandered this way, as if they were afraid that we wouldn't be able to see them here. Can we do it someday?" A hundred ghosts walk at night to the border."

"This is to show your strength." The old man said, "You can't open it again... Opening it once is enough to annoy others. If you open it twice, everyone will probably know that something happened here."

Lin Gu Gu looked at the blue sky outside.

In fact, that cover is officially called the C City Guardian Cover, but in the eyes of most monsters, that thing is just a shame cover.

About a hundred years ago, the sky in City C had always been a bright 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 Gugu didn't like this cover alone. Every time he saw that bright blue color in the sky, he always felt... A distraught feeling.

It's also interesting to say that the monster who originally suggested making this cover is now retiring in a small clothing store in the juvenile area, but later...it seemed that he was the one who was most annoyed by the cover.

"Yuan's strength is a bit different from what I thought." The old man added, "Those who have escaped from the red sand well so far have basically had their demon power greatly reduced and their life spans shortened. However, last night it was reported that People who came back said that it took Yuan almost no time to deal with those people."

"How long exactly?" Lin Gu Gu looked up at the old man.

"Twenty minutes, maybe. But there was a little girl with him at the time, and he disappeared for a while. He probably sent the little girl away."

"Awesome." Lian Sanniang next to her sighed with emotion. "I went to thirty-seven three-flowered ones and two four-flowered ones yesterday. I estimate that there are not many monsters in the world who can kill so many people in this time."

"We still don't know what the Blood Jade Demon Art is about." Lin Gu Gu said, "But now it seems... it may have something different from ordinary enchantments."

"The head of the Li family didn't come yesterday, and he didn't come today either. He said he wanted to avoid suspicion, but in fact..." the old man said.

"Old man, what happened to the Li family and Yuan back then? You never told us clearly?" Lin Gu said.

"Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing, not to mention I don't know too much about what happened back then." The old man said, "But I think the head of the Li family is too careful in guarding against Yuan... He has never been afraid of Yuan since he came back." They have never contacted us proactively. Sanniang went to see him, but he was not very interested. After all, it took a quota from the aristocratic family to get him to agree to stay. "

"I think Yuan has taken the initiative to show weakness by not getting involved in high-level affairs and not mentioning those years. I thought he knew that he didn't have a long life, so he chose to find a place to stay quietly. But it seems yesterday..." There was a deep wrinkle on the old man's face, "He seems... no different than he was back then. "

"They are all equally unpredictable."

The old man looked out the window. There was a tall tree with purple flowers on it.

"Yuan, what are you thinking about?"

…

Yuan Yuanyuan was cleaning the glass while listening to the chat between Liu An and Tang Shi, "Why did you come back so late?"

"Something happened yesterday... Someone came to our place to make trouble, and an accident almost happened." Liu An smiled embarrassedly. He never mentioned where he worked because he was afraid that the boss would think that being a street cleaner was an unlucky job.

As he spoke, he carefully touched a mark on the back of his hand, which was scratched by someone last night...

"Liu An, have you thought about what I told you?" Yuan Yuanyuan said, "You should live somewhere else in the next few days, and come back when everything is fine. I will observe for a few days. Remember to keep practicing what I taught you."

"Okay." Liu An said. "I'll stay at my friend's place for a few days."

He thought of the woman he met yesterday again.

Tsk. I hope I won't meet her again in the future.

Liu An continued to wipe the window desperately, and suddenly found a barely noticeable red dot on the window.

He paused, and then used a rag to wipe off the red dot as if he hadn't noticed anything.
