Ye Siyi glanced at Qianqiu, who was in a trance, and poked his waist with the handle of the sword: "What do you want?"

Qianqiu came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Senior Ye, there's nothing. ”

Ye Siyi looked at Li Yu and then at Qianqiu, neither of them spoke, and suddenly felt bored, so she thought of it and asked: "You are not good to ask Shenshan to stay with your master, what are you doing in this little broken city?"

Qianqiu looked at Ye Siyi, thinking that since Senior Ye had no hostility towards the master, he cut a section of the experience from Qingshui Town to Huanghu City, and carefully explained the cause and effect.

After hearing this, Ye Siyi pondered for a long time, and said excitedly: "Then you mean that you came to Huanghu City to track down the murderer, right?"

Qianqiu's expression froze, and he didn't understand why Senior Ye was so excited.

"Boy, in two days, I'll help you, I like to investigate cases!" Ye Siyi still has the demeanor of a master at this time, like a child.

Qianqiu is not as old-fashioned and polite as Yang Xian, her thoughts changed quickly, and she didn't ask why she wanted to help herself, so she changed her perspective and asked: "Senior, why do you want to spend two days?"

"Because I'm going to go back to the Holy Capital in the next two days. Actually, I just came back from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and I passed by Huanghu City to see my good sister......."

"Shut up, no one here is your good sister!" was interrupted by Li Yu's cold words in the middle of his words.

"Okay, okay, I'll see if your stinky woman is dead, okay?" Ye Siyi hurriedly said perfunctorily, turned around and said to Qianqiu, "I estimate that it will take about two days to go back and forth." So before that, it's up to you to solve the problem on your own. ”

"Okay, senior, you are busy first, your affairs are important. Qianqiu thought to herself, if there was a master of magic to help him, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways in Huanghu City?

Ye Siyi smiled, nodded Qianqiu with her finger, and then turned over and went out: "I'll go drink some wine first, and then go out of the city." I hope that when I return, your life will still be there. ”

"Senior Ye, go slowly, I'm waiting for you!" Qianqiu hurriedly saluted, waved his hand, and sent Senior Ye away.

Back in the house, Li Yu, who was sitting and looking at the long sword, said: "You kid really crawls when he sees it, that drunkard woman is so nosy, and she may not be able to help you when the time comes, but will add a few master-level opponents to you." ”

Qianqiu was stunned, why didn't he expect that Senior Ye was very arrogant, and his style of acting was very bold, and he really couldn't say it when the time came.... Thinking too much and thinking too much, where did there be so many magic masters in a deserted city, he forcibly comforted himself not to think about it.

Qianqiu walked to Li Yu's side and sat down again: "Senior Li, how do I feel that you have a deep hatred for Senior Ye, is there any mustard between you?"

Li Yu waved his sword, put it on Qianqiu's neck, and looked at Qianqiu: "Don't ask about things that shouldn't be asked." ”

Chiaki was taken aback, waited for a while, and gently swung the sword away.

"Senior, then I'm leaving?" Li Yu sat without saying a word, and the atmosphere was extremely depressed, which made Qianqiu feel uneasy.

"You go first, if there is something really going on, I will help you once, only once, for the sake of your master's face. Li Yu said expressionlessly.

"Thank you senior!" Qianqiu hurriedly saluted, her heart was already happy, and she was about to leave with her feet raised.

Li Yu suddenly thought of something again, so he stopped Qianqiu: "Wait, aren't you looking for demons? In this case, I will give you a suggestion, go to the north of the city to find a tea seller named Ni Zhujun, he may be able to help you. ”

"Tea seller?" Qianqiu was confused, now the master speaks casually, and then he stuffs the previous sentence too fast, "Looking for monsters, ask spirit beasts, what am I going to do with the tea seller?"

"Believe it or not, I'm tired, you go. Li Yu gave an eviction order.

Qianqiu said goodbye to Li Yu, returned to the street, summoned the knife that had been found a long time ago, asked the way back to the inn, and wondered while riding a horse.

After a while, it was already a moment when I returned to the inn, and there was still a moment before the start of the festival to the sky.

As soon as Qianqiu entered the door, he saw Yang Xian walking anxiously around the lobby.

"Old Yang, why are you still here, don't you go up to rest?" Qianqiu asked suspiciously.

"Brother Qian, you're back. Yang Xian, who was unable to sit still, saw that Qianqiu came back intact, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, "Didn't you make an appointment to go to see the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony together?"

"Oh oh, you see how I forgot about this stubble, there are so many things happening today, let's go, let's talk as we go. Qianqiu hurriedly invited Yang Xian, and the two walked out together.

Although it was already night, the streets of Huanghu City were crowded with people at this moment, and they were becoming more and more lively. Tonight's festival seems to be comparable to the New Year's festival in the hearts of the people of Huanghu City.

Yang Xian listened to Qianqiu's words and said: "In this case, after tonight, I will accompany you to the west of the city, Li Yu's predecessor is a master of Dacheng, and her suggestion, even if others want it, they can't ask for it." Unexpectedly, Li Yu's predecessors were extraordinarily generous to the thousand brothers. ”

Qianqiu flattened his mouth: "Hearing you say this, I also think that Senior Li is very good to me, and I really can't feel it without comparison." ”

【Castle Lord's Mansion】

Cai Ritian had just changed into the dress of the Sacrifice to the Heavens, and was about to go out at the moment, when he suddenly thought of a series of things that happened tonight, especially Li Yulai's three-leaf clover, the more he pondered, the more worried he became, and finally he was still a little uneasy in his heart, so he ordered everyone to wait at the door.

He walked into the City Lord's Mansion alone, turned a few corners, returned to his room, and looked around before opening the door to make sure that no one saw before entering the house.

As soon as Cai Ritian entered the house and closed the door, a black shadow flashed over the wall on the side and landed gently next to the window. The black shadow stood firm, secretly drilled a hole in the window with his fingers, and looked at it, just enough to see Cai Ritian.

After Cai Ritian looked around, he walked to his desk, pressed a button on the desk, and after only a short while, the wall under a pair of "Pictures of Wind and Rain" in the room was opened, and a door appeared.

He hurried in the door, and after a while he came out with a sigh of relief, turned off the mechanism, and hurried out the door.

"What good things are you hiding?" the dark shadow hiding outside the window couldn't help but think to himself when he saw everything passing.

After a while, the black shadow finally sneaked into Cai Ritian's room.

Under the faint light of the candle, you can see the person who came more clearly, this person is wearing a green robe and a hat, it is Bei Ling.

At sunset, Bei Ling accepted the order of the ghost head, and when Cai Ritian went out, she came to the City Lord's Mansion to steal the treasure, which was the best opportunity.

Don't Zero rummaged through the table, searched around, and finally found the button, pressed it, and the secret door opened.

Don't find a torch, light it with a fire fold, and walk in cautiously.

After walking a few steps, he vaguely saw a bright light in front of him, and after a few more steps inside, he put down the torch - the inside of the secret room was brightly lit.

Under the light, the secret room was filled with large and small chests, several open, full of glittering gold, gorgeous jewels and jade, large and small antiques...... Be-Zero didn't seem interested in these things, didn't want to look at them more, and searched around for closed boxes and chests.

After searching for a long time, she didn't have what she wanted.

"I don't believe he came back to see these gold, silver and jewelry. "Don't think about it, Cai Ritian is not the kind of person who is timid, and the thing that can make him feel at ease not to come back and take a look at it may be the three-life and three-leaf flower he is looking for.

After searching for a while, Don't look at the open box that just came in, and felt a little strange. The other boxes are well closed, and the jewelry, gold and silver inside are placed in a very regular manner, but the jewelry gold and silver in the three boxes that I just came in and saw are chaotic, and there is no difference between these jewels and gold and silver.

Bezero walked over again, groped around, and the pull rings behind the three boxes could be pulled, and she pulled them separately, and a small light on the wall immediately dimmed, and a box slowly drilled out from under the small light.

She took it and opened the box: there was a bouquet of white flowers lying quietly inside, with only three leaves.

"Sansheng Sanhuhua, I found you!" Don't be overjoyed, cover the box, and stuff it into your arms.

When I left the City Lord's Mansion and was already a child, I thought for a while: "At this time, the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony has begun, Sister Hong Chao and the ghost head must be in the Holy Temple, I will go out of the city now, and no one will pay attention to it." ”

After thinking about it, don't drive the horse and rush to the outside of the city immediately, but she didn't know that there was already a pair of eyes staring at her in the dark.

【Deserted Shanghai City Temple】

The holy temple located in the south of the city of Huanghu is a very large temple, with only one main hall and no other side halls. Inside the main hall, the gold medal on the enshrinement table is marked with the word "heaven and earth", indicating that the temple only worships heaven and earth, and there are no other gods.

In front of the gate of the temple, people gathered and a series of sacrificial activities were carried out, and finally came to the last item - everyone was waiting for the city lord to light the cannon, so that the wind and rain would be smooth this year.

Cai Ritian, the city lord in a ceremonial dress, opened his eyes wide, his expression was serious, and he silently looked at the words heaven and earth on the gold medal.

"The time has come!" the announcer on the side shouted.

Everyone knelt down in unison, bowed down to heaven and earth, and prayed loudly.

Cai Ritian lit a stick of incense, inserted the sand altar, and waved his hand to throw the Sky Cannon into the sky.

The "whirring" of the cannon rushed into the night sky, but there was no sound for a long time.

The people looked up at the sky, but there was no movement for a long time, and finally began to talk about it.

"What's going on, why doesn't the cannon go off?"

"It's a squib, Kong Er was stunned and estimated that he was going to be unlucky, so he made a squib. ”

"It's been the same in previous years, so wait. ”

"Wait a fart, it's been a quarter of an hour!"

"Was it that long in previous years?"

"No, I'm sure, it used to be ringing before everyone reacted. ”

.......

The people are discussing every word, and the fact that the cannon does not go off means that there is no good luck for a year, and it means that God will not accept the gifts of the deserted Shanghai City! This is a very serious matter!

"Come, catch the craftsman who made the cannon for me, and behead him on the spot, so as to sacrifice to the sky. Cai Ritian also wondered for a long time at the beginning, why the cannon didn't go off, if this matter reached the holy capital, the title of the city lord would not be guaranteed, thinking of this, he was busy asking someone to arrest the craftsman.

Qianqiu and Yang Xian also raised their heads in the crowd, looking at the night sky.

"Brother Qian, why do you say this cannon doesn't go off?" Yang Xian raised his head and rubbed his neck.

Qianqiu looked at Yang Xian, angry and funny: "Old Yang, I said why are you so brainless, why are you still looking at it for so long?

Yang Xian lowered his head at this time: "It must be a squib, it must have been careless when the craftsman made it, and the consequences are so serious, the craftsmen are afraid that they will not be happy." ”

Qianqiu looked up at the night sky again, looked at it carefully for a while, and muttered, "I don't think it's necessarily a squib." ”
