Chapter 804

The brighter corridor looks like the brightness after dawn, and even the ceiling is the faint dark blue of the sky in the early morning.

In the inner position of the corridor, the eighth cell in order, there is a common yellowish palm behind the water curtain door, slowly pushing out the food box.

The subtle sound of the bottom of the food box rubbing against the ground became somewhat weak and urgent in this slow movement, which was difficult to detect.

However, a wooden young man stood close to the outside of this Bing-sized cell's water curtain door, silently watching this scene through the water curtain like "gray glass".

After carefully examining the palm of the owner of the Bing-sized cell at close range, Ouyang Rong temporarily pressed a thought that had been lingering in his mind for a long time:

This owner of the Bing-sized cell is really pushing the food box tremblingly, somewhat strenuously.

This person is really moving very slowly, not like it was pretended. Ouyang Rong, who possesses the Dao pulse of a square technician and is good at muscle control, can see that the blue veins and muscle fluctuations on the back of the cell owner's hand are real and cannot be pretended.

So this person is really inconvenient to move, or has a physical ailment.

Before this, his vigilant thoughts were a bit too much to reinforce this person.

In other words, so what if it is the owner of the Bing-sized cell.

Isn't he still a prisoner of Yunmeng Yunmeng Jian Ze? Locked in this cell with layers of shackles?

Ouyang Rong waited patiently for the owner of the Bing-sized cell to retract his palm before bending down to pick up the food box.

He placed his palm on the lid of the box, and there was still the residual warmth of this person's palm.

He lifted a corner of the food box with his fingers and took a look.

It was the same as the vegetarian meal delivered every night.

This slow-moving owner of the Bing-sized cell is one of the few people who eats the vegetarian meal the cleanest.

Ouyang Rong's special pickled radish and small dishes of pickles were all eaten empty.

He actually had a good impression of this person's attitude, which can be considered a compulsive disorder that people who are cooks have. Ouyang Rong is no exception, hoping that diners will not waste food bit by bit.

The Bing-sized cell is the last one to deliver the food box.

Ouyang Rong picked up the empty food box and walked straight to the staircase at the entrance with the other empty food boxes he collected.

He scanned the water prison doors he passed along the way with his peripheral vision. Before leaving, he stopped in front of the stairs and looked back at the bright corridor.

It's a pity that although the water curtain door faded the black color, it was still hazy, and he couldn't see clearly inside.

At this moment, it should have just been dawn outside the water prison, the sun had not fully risen, and the morning light was also very gentle.

Ouyang Rong is not sure if it is because the sky light outside the water prison is not bright enough.

Is it necessary to wait until noon or afternoon, when the sun is brightest, to see the scene inside the water prison clearly from outside the water curtain door?

Ouyang Rong only guessed, but was not sure.

It's a pity that he no longer has a reason to continue lingering.

If he continues to stay, Yun Xiangyi suddenly returns, he will have no good excuse to explain his behavior, even if Chen Jiaxin, Enting and others outside help him speak, it will be useless.

For the sake of caution, he must leave without any dragging.

As for the things behind, talk about it tomorrow night.

Ouyang Rong practiced what he preached, immediately walked down the stairs, and returned to the room where Yun Xiangyi read Buddhist scriptures outside.

Then he simply tidied up, gently covered the Chai Gate, left the water prison, and returned to the waterfall above.

He didn't bump into Yun Xiangyi's figure along the way.

Ouyang Rong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Only then did he have some mind to analyze the eight palms he just saw.

Roughly judged from the appearance of the palm.

These eight prisoners are probably seven men and one woman.

Analyzing from the texture of the skin on the back of the hand, among the seven male prisoners, there are probably three old men, and the ages of the other four male prisoners are unknown.

However, Ouyang Rong is relatively certain that the owner of the "Bing" sized cell should be relatively young, because he observed this person's palm for the longest and most carefully.

However, it is not yet possible to fully judge the gender of this person as a man, because a woman's hand can also be ordinary. For example, the big aunts and little aunts who do chores in the dining hall of Qingliang Valley don't specifically maintain their palms.

Unlike the owner of the "Xin" sized cell, that slender and soft palm is a woman at a glance.

Of course, if you want to say whether it will be a gentle and womanly woman, there is definitely a chance, but at the moment it is just a superficial analysis, no need to be so dead set on one point.

Ouyang Rong pursed his lips, his face thoughtful.

Old Daoist Sun must be among them.

It should be among those three elderly prisoners.

Looking at it this way, the target range was narrowed from the initial eight water prisons to three.

They are Ding room, Wu room, and Gui room.

Later, he can focus on these three prisoner cells, finally having some focus, which is better than being blind before.

However, this discovery also broke a hope that Ouyang Rong had always had in his heart.

That is, the expectation that Embroidery Xie Xiao Niangzi is also in this water prison, in some cell.

But he knows what Embroidery Xie Xiao Niangzi's palm looks like, and among the eight palms seen today, there is definitely no Embroidery Xie Xiao Niangzi's.

As for whether she will be in the A-room or B-room deeper in the corridor, it is almost impossible.

Not to mention the Female Monarch Hall, just talking about Yun Xiangyi, she will definitely not treat her junior sister badly.

The vegetarian meals delivered every night, except for hers, there are only eight left, and the A-room and B-room deeper inside have no share.

How could Yun Xiangyi not even send a vegetarian meal? Even if she was angry that her junior sister had taken advantage of her absence to secretly let go of Old Daoist Sun and take the prisoner down the mountain against the law to save her sweetheart... but Yun Xiangyi would not do this.

Ouyang Rong is unhappy with the Ancestor Hall of the Female Monarch Hall, and can't see the female monarchs like the little lady Zhishuang, but he also knows clearly in his heart that Embroidery Xie Xiao Niangzi and these senior sisters have sisterly feelings, especially with the little lady Zhishuang, the senior sister.

Just mentioning one point can deeply reflect it:

If Embroidery Xie Xiao Niangzi leaves the Female Monarch Hall and the Ancestor Hall loses the first successor to the Yuan Monarch, Yue Chuzi, then the little lady Zhishuang, as the second successor to the Yuan Monarch, is the biggest beneficiary.

But all along, the little lady Zhishuang has been angry and determined about Embroidery Xie Xiao Niangzi's decisiveness, and has repeatedly wanted to forcibly take Embroidery Xie Xiao Niangzi away.

Regarding status and interests, this point cannot be faked.

So Ouyang Rong counterattacked, and even acted more violently during the Great War in Xunyang Grotto, but he also turned a blind eye, which can be considered as letting go of the little lady Zhishuang time and time again.

Because he knew clearly in his heart that he just had a different position from the little lady Zhishuang, and in the general direction, they were all "for Embroidery Xie Xiao Niangzi's good", but each had their own way.

And they are also paranoid that their own way is correct.

That's all.

Just like the struggle of the Great Dao of various mythological Dao pulses of the Qi practitioners, each has its own broad road, just the direction to "mythology" is different, but they are all not wrong.

And the most troublesome thing about many things in the world is here...

At a certain moment, in the pitch-black passage, the wooden young man walking slowly sighed faintly.

Although he already had the gossip brought back by Aqing, he could roughly know that his hope was slim.

But after thoroughly confirming it, Ouyang Rong was still a little disappointed in his heart.

Walking out of the waterfall, Chen Jiaxin and Enting were sitting on the rocks by the pool.

The sky was already bright, and the golden morning light leaked through the gaps in the leaves of the trees in the forest, just falling on the two women.

The ponytail tied behind the sword-clothed girl's head presented a brownish-yellow halo under the brilliant morning light, and the sunlight was like gold, interspersed between the hair.

From Ouyang Rong's angle, every strand of green silk was almost inlaid with gold edges.

Seeing Ouyang Rong come out, Chen Jiaxin kept looking straight, only Enting opened her eyes and turned to look at him.

Ouyang Rong carried the empty food box and passed by the two women silently.

After he walked away, Enting withdrew her gaze. At this time, Chen Jiaxin, who was sitting in meditation beside her, stood up and walked towards the woods where Ouyang Rong left.

Enting turned a deaf ear, continued to close her eyes and practice, and stayed behind at the pool.

About a stick of incense later, in a pavilion by the spring.

It's also an old place.

The wooden young man and the sword-clothed girl met.

Ouyang Rong came first, distracted, and waited for a while. Chen Jiaxin walked in and said straight to the point:

"How is the situation?"

Ouyang Rong nodded:

"Saw it."

"Saw what? Is it a prisoner? Are those water curtain cell doors really transparent during the day?"

Ouyang Rong looked at Chen Jiaxin, whose face was somewhat happy, and shook his head.

Just as the latter's eyes were disappointed, he nodded gently and said:

"Only saw hands, eight people's hands."

Chen Jiaxin was stunned and asked in surprise:

"Hands?"

"Hmm."

Ouyang Rong replied naturally, and a moment later, he told the story of what happened in the water prison just now.

Chen Jiaxin's face was somewhat stunned, and it took a long time to digest it.

Hua Xuanji praised:

"You kid is smart enough, you can see it from this angle, find the flaw... In this way, the most likely cells at present are Ding, Wu, and Gui?"

"Yes."

"Okay, it can be considered a big harvest, at least not returning empty-handed."

Chen Jiaxin's small face was somewhat satisfied, and she subconsciously raised her hand to pat his shoulder, but immediately reacted that this was a male subordinate, not her nine sisters, and the big sister's style could not be used on him at close range.

She put down her hand without changing her face, put her hands behind her back again, turned around the wooden young man twice, and nodded gently:

"Then tomorrow we will go a little later to see if your further guess is correct. If so, then at noon, the visibility of those water curtain cell doors in the water prison will be able to see inside, and then..."

Chen Jiaxin deployed, but saw Ouyang Rong's face was different, and asked:

"Do you have anything to say?"

Ouyang Rong thought for a while, and then said in a helpless tone:

"By all logic, it is the vegetarian meal after midnight. In the past, it was delivered at the latest at the third watch. Tonight, it was dragged to after the fifth watch and dawn. It has already passed a bit. If it continues to be dragged tomorrow night, dragged to the second morning, I am afraid it will make those prisoners have emotions..."

Chen Jiaxin heard this, her face did not change, but her tone was cold:

"If they have, they have. They are already prisoners, and they still ask for so much? It's good enough to be able to eat vegetarian meals. It's also Master's Bodhisattva heart that lets Yutang send them some vegetarian meals every night. If I were to manage the water prison, they wouldn't even want to eat a fart, picking and choosing, really thinking our Yunmeng Jian Ze water prison is a cafeteria..."

Chen Jiaxin waved her small hand, her tone was very unhappy:

"Don't be afraid, just do as this young lady says. If they have the ability, come out and find this young lady, hum."

Ouyang Rong saw this and was speechless. Facing this arrogant little lady, he had to nod silently without disobeying.

The two discussed for a while, and agreed on the matters for tomorrow night, including how to deal with it if Yun Xiangyi suddenly returned.

Both of them were vigilant and smart people, and they matched their words.

A moment later, they left each other.

When Ouyang Rong returned to his own courtyard, it was already the morning Si hour, and the warm sunlight shone on him, and his clothes gradually became hot.

He pushed open the courtyard door, didn't prepare to wash, walked straight to the house, prepared to fall asleep, and wait until evening to get up.

Just after entering the door, he saw that the room was a bit messy, and many items fell to the ground, as if they were knocked over.

However, the secret signal Ouyang Rong left at the door showed no signs of being moved.

Obviously, it was not an outside thief, but a domestic thief.

Domestic thieves are hard to guard against.

Ouyang Rong seemed to be used to it, turned his head for the first time, glanced at the wardrobe, and then went to open the door.

The door didn't open.

The wardrobe door was locked from the inside.

"Wu wu wu."

From inside came the coquettish nasal sound of the little ink spirit sleeping and turning over, somewhat protesting his noise.

Ouyang Rong was expressionless and looked around.

No need to look, he knew who did it.

A certain little ink spirit has some hobbies. Once she is full, at a specific time, she likes to "run cool all over the house", just like a cat. I don't know if she learned it from the species raised by Li Guoer.

It seems to be a way to express happiness and joy.

Looking at the scene of turning the river and the sea in the house, it really made the female immortal eat too much to be so happy.

It's just that Ouyang Rong doesn't quite understand where Miao Si got the food from.

He walked to the table, picked up a snack box that had fallen to the ground, frowned, and checked it carefully.

The snack box was empty and looked a bit strange.

I don't know how it appeared in the room, but it definitely made the female immortal eat too much.

Ouyang Rong walked quickly to the wardrobe, "Dong dong dong", and knocked on the door hard.

The little ink spirit's dissatisfied voice came from the wardrobe immediately:

"Who is it? Knocking so immorally..."

Replying so quickly, it's a ghost if she's really sleeping.

Ouyang Rong asked expressionlessly:

"Who sent these snacks, was it Aqing, or Madam Li next door?"

Miao Si was arrogant and asked back:

"What's wrong?"

Ouyang Rong didn't speak, but something slid out of his sleeve silently.

The Peach Blossom Source Map poked its head out of the floating bamboo tube.

The clear blue sword energy shone brightly.

The little ink spirit in the wardrobe seemed to hear the "pop" sound of the bamboo tube opening, plus the silence of little Rongzi outside the door.

She was obviously a little panicked, pretending to be calm and saying:

"Humph, seeing that you are begging this fairy so much, I will tell you. These snacks were filial piety from Sha Ergou to this fairy. It's useless for you to be envious."

Ouyang Rong's action of preparing to break in paused...
