The fifth master was not very interested, and it was late and he was a little sleepy...but he suddenly saw the shadow and woke up instantly.

Zhan Zhao, White Dragon King and Jiuniang all looked at the motionless Bai Yutang curiously. They saw that he was frowning slightly as if he didn't understand something, but suddenly his eyes widened.

Jiuniang and Bailongwang had rarely seen such a "vivid" expression on the paralyzed Bai Yutang, so they both covered their mouths to hold back laughter.

Zhan Zhao was curious - what did he see?

…

"Pig-like people?"

In the ancestral hall, Zhao Pu curiously asked Zhao Zhen, "Who is he? An official of the DPRK and Central Government?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head.

"Local officials?"

Zhao Zhen continued to shake his head.

Zhao Pu thought about it and felt that it was the same. If there was such an official, he should also know about it...

Even though Zhao Zhen is the emperor, there are not many officials he can see on a daily basis. Those who can go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit have certain restrictions. There are only a few people in and out of the court. There is no reason why Zhao Zhen has seen Zhao Pu but not Zhao Pu. Pass.

Everyone looked at Zhao Zhen in confusion - could he be someone from the harem? A eunuch?

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and stopped talking, "When I was a child, I saw a person. The person was wearing a black cloak, and the dress was quite strange. He followed Eunuch Chen through the garden, and he should have gone to see the late emperor. When I passed by... I discovered something interesting."

Everyone was staring at him - interesting?

"That day happened to be in the afternoon, and the sun was very bright. Everyone who walked through the courtyard had a shadow behind him, and that person...had two shadows behind him."

Hearing this, Yin Hou frowned slightly, "Two shadows?"

"Uh-huh." Zhao Zhen nodded, "Besides, the man walked forward without looking sideways, but one of the shadows seemed to have turned his head and was looking at me."

Zhao Pu just looked at Nangong - is there such a thing?

Nangong is not sure, is there such a thing? Why don’t I remember...

Seeing Nangong's confusion, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said - you weren't here yet at that time.

Nangong frowned - he had followed Zhao Zhen almost since he was a child. Before he went there, Zhao Zhen was probably only three or four years old. Did he see it at such a young age?

"I remember it very clearly, because the shadow was so strange, so I ran with him all the way." Zhao Zhen continued, "The man seemed to notice it, and looked down at me... I also looked up at him, wearing a cloak. Wearing a pig-faced mask or something like that. But if you follow Eunuch Chen into the palace, you must be going to meet the emperor. If you wear a pig-faced mask and go to see the late emperor, aren't you afraid of being punished for being disrespectful?"

As he said that, Zhao Zhen spread his hands and said, "I originally wanted to follow you for a while, but I was taken away by the palace maid who came out to find me."

Gongsun felt that something was outrageous and asked, "Two shadows? Could it be because of the light and shadow..."

Ye Wangyou also feels that the credibility is not high. The emperor must have been a child at that time. Could it be that he saw it wrong?

Zhao Pu and Nangong didn't speak. Is it possible that he saw it wrong? Yes, but the greater possibility is that he did not see it wrong or remember it wrongly, because Zhao Zhen has a particularly good memory.

Zhao Zhen sighed helplessly. He told the Queen Mother about this back then, but the Queen Mother didn't believe it. The young eunuchs around him also thought he was wrong...

At this time, the fourth child raised his hand and said, "I've seen it too! There can be not only two shadows, but also several shadows."

Everyone looked at the fourth son. On the side, Yin Hou and You Lian nodded lightly - they had seen it before...

"Where have you seen it?" Zhao Zhen asked the fourth son curiously, "Little fourth son, have you also seen people who look like pigs?"

"No! Huahua doesn't look like a pig." The fourth boy shook his head.

"Huahua?" Gongsun couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he asked Zhao Pu, "What new friends has he made?"

Zhao Pu thought for a while, "Huahua does sound like a piggy's name...

…Isn’t that the spotted pig in the Yamen pig pen called Ahua…”

Gongsun and Zhao Pu both looked at the fourth son, and the fourth son raised his head to look at Yin Hou.

Yin Hou asked him, "Burial flowers?"

The fourth son smiled and nodded.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu both raised their eyebrows - yes! Little Uncle Bian seems to have the same style.

"Hmm..." Yin Hou touched his chin and thought for a moment, "It is indeed very similar."

Gongsun was curious, "Isn't Uncle Zang hiding in the shadows all the time? Doesn't he still have his own shadow?"

Zhao Pu nodded, "It is true that he likes to hide in other people's shadows, but sometimes when there are no shadows in the sun, he will bring his own shadow and hide behind others..."

The fourth son said that Huahua has a shadow of his own, called Nian Nian, which can change into many shapes, and they even played with it together.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu both nodded proudly - their son's friends have developed from cats and dogs to weapons and objects and then to shadows! It's not impossible to bring back a fairy kid or something someday...

Everyone looked at Yin Hou.

Yin Hou explained, "It's not actually a shadow, it's a kind of tangible internal force. Usually the visible internal force can be separated from the body, but the tangible internal force of the buried flower is just like his conjoined twins. It has always been a shadow.

The shape of the shadow appears. The shadow has a strong ability to change, as if it is alive. Speaking of which...his kung fu was also learned when he visited the ancient tombs. This black stone sculpture was also exploded from the ancient tombs.

, maybe you can get some clues by asking him."

Everyone thinks there is a way, but the question is, where is the funeral flower? Is it in the Demon Palace?

Yin Hou said maybe, it's been hot lately, and he hates the sun the most. He might have entered some ancient tomb and stayed there to escape the heat.

Everyone looked at the old man silently - Going to an ancient tomb to escape the heat? This feeling is even more awesome than freezing in an ice cellar!

"So, did the person I saw that day have the same martial arts skills as Burying Flower, or was there a master similar to Burying Flower in the shadow?" Zhao Zhen asked.

Everyone looked at Yin Hou.

Yin Hou was also unsure, frowning and said, "It's hard to imagine that someone else can practice the same Kung Fu..."

"Could he be the same sect of Uncle Yian?" Gongsun asked about Uncle Yian's disciples.

Zhao Pu remembered that Zhan Zhao had said before that the Kung Fu of Burying Flowers was all self-taught. When he went in and out of ancient tombs, he found many martial arts secrets and learned this weird Kung Fu by himself.

"His masters are all dead ghosts." Yin Hou was helpless, "Lying in various ancient tombs... But there is no guarantee that others may have dug the same tomb and learned the same martial arts."

But at least it was a clue. The Silver Demon King poked Yin Hou and asked him to go back to Kaifeng Mansion to sit down and go to the Demon Palace to bring the funeral flowers.

Yin Hou looked disgusted and looked back at the others - who wanted to go on his behalf?

A group of old men looked to the sky.

Tianzun whispered to Yin Hou, "Go back and trick Xiao Bailong?"

Yin Hou's eyes lit up - what a great idea!

…

"Ah chirp..."

The White Dragon King who was squatting outside the courtyard suddenly sneezed.

Jiuniang and Zhan Zhao were both shocked, they were about to be discovered!

Fortunately, the White Dragon King was silent in the first place. Except for a few people around him, no one else could hear this sneeze...

The Duke of the Seven Kingdoms was still drinking tea and chatting about everything. Meanwhile, Shark, who was staring at the shadow on the ground beside them, and Bai Yutang, who was staring at the shadow through Shark, also came to their senses at this time.

A bunch of questions popped up in Master Wu's mind - what's going on with this shadow? Is it really haunted?

And along with the fifth master's doubts, something even weirder happened... the shadow actually started to move.

Jinggong and Ruigong sat completely motionless, but the two shadows suddenly stretched out their hands. The black hands were like sharp knives, raised high on the ground illuminated by moonlight and candlelight.

Then cut down...

Instinctively, Samehr pushed with both hands... and struck Duke Jinggong and Duke Ruiyang with two palms from the air, followed by a scream.

Outside the courtyard gate, Zhan Zhao and the others suddenly heard a "crash" in the room, followed by another "Oops!" from Duke Ruiyang.

Zhan Zhao was startled and rushed into the yard.

At this time, Jinggong and Ruiyangggong were sitting on the ground in the room, looking at a black shadow at their feet with horrified expressions.

The two of them were suddenly pushed by some force, and they fell out at the same time.

Duke Ruiyang felt a stabbing pain on his arm and couldn't help but scream. When he lowered his head and looked... he found a big cut on his arm and blood was flowing out.

Jinggong sat paralyzed on the ground, staring dumbfoundedly at the chair he was sitting on just now. There was a big gap in the chair.

While the two were surprised, they were also startled by a strange black shadow on the ground.

At the table, two black shadows moved together, forming a large black figure with hands in the shape of two knives.

Although it was a black shadow with no facial features, both Jinggong and Ruiyang Gong felt inexplicably that the shadow was staring at them.

Almost at the same time, a "bang" was heard.

The door was kicked open, Zhan Zhao jumped in and asked, "What's the matter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shark running past him with a "hoo", and at the same time... Zhan Zhao's peripheral vision caught something flying on the ground? It was a large black... shadow?

Most people might be a little confused, but Zhan Zhao somehow feels that this moving shadow is a bit familiar - Little Uncle Zhan?

But I felt something was wrong, it didn’t have the aura of Little Uncle Burian.

In the yard, Bai Yutang and Jiuniang also ran in. Jiuniang stretched out her hand and pointed at the wall, and a flash of fire hit the wall... In an instant, a burning black shadow appeared on the wall.
To be continued...
