Jiuwei's apartment is located in the international trade business circle, is a simple and elegant three-bedroom and two-living room, a typical "American small fresh", the whole house is decorated with fresh light green, supplemented by white, simple atmosphere, so that people can feel a strong artistic atmosphere in addition to freshness. The rich rustic floor tiles in the living room are complemented by quaint sconces, and a creative wall clock hangs on the wall behind a beige sofa that shows June 20, 2017.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, you can overlook the most prosperous night scene in the whole city of Beijing, Li Bai is standing quietly in front of the window at the moment, the lights outside the window are bright and busy, like countless stories are starting one by one in front of him, and he is the only audience.

"Master, what are you thinking?" Nine-tails walked to Li Bai's side.

"Nine-tails, Master has a story...... Do you have wine?" Li Bai couldn't tell whether he wanted to drink or talk, but he understood that something touched the softest place in his heart.

"There must be, you wait for me. The Nine-Tails ran out, and in the blink of an eye, he brought a bottle of red wine and two red wine glasses. Nine-Tails opened the bottle of elixir that had been brewed for a long time, and the dark purple liquid that was almost inky black was slowly poured into the crystal clear wine glass, like a candle flame in a dream, telling a story of time, mixed with sweet and sad memories.

Li Bai shook the wine glass gently, and the aroma slowly drifted away.

"Once upon a time, there was a wise king who ruled over the great city of Vellani. The king's majesty was awe-inspiring, and his wisdom made him beloved. In the heart of the city of Véranny, there was a well with a sweet and clear water, from which all the inhabitants of the city, even the king and his ministers, drew water from it, as it was the only well in the city.

"One night, when all the earth was asleep, a witch sneaked into the city, dropped seven drops of liquid in the well, and then cast a curse: 'From now on, whoever drinks the water of this well will go mad.'" The next morning all the inhabitants, except the king and the chief attendant, drank the water from the well, and as the witch had cursed, they all became madmen. After that day, in the narrow streets and in the market, people were whispering, 'The king is crazy, our king and the chief attendant have lost their minds, we cannot let a mad king rule the country, we must depose him.' That night, the king ordered a golden cup of water to be brought from the well. As soon as the water was brought to him, the king took a sip and gave the rest of the water to the chief attendant. After daybreak, the whole city of Vellane rejoiced, for their king and chief attendant came to their senses again. ”

After Li Bai finished telling this story, he saw that the whole person of the Nine Tails was already immersed in this story, he picked up the wine glass alone, sniffed deeply, and his front was filled with smoky incense, as well as the aroma of blackberries, cherries, licorice, and truffles and bushes.

"It's a pity, everyone is crazy now. Nine-Tails was a little sad, "Master, why did you suddenly tell me this story?"

For so many years, as a deacon of Si Ming, Li Bai has been accustomed to life and death, but for life, for Si Ming Mansion and even Nai He City, there are countless mysteries in his heart, all of them have a common characteristic, they have no answers, no matter how hard he thinks and exhausts his energy, he can't find a clue, thinking of this, Li Bai asked Jiuwei: "If this well is next to us, and everyone around us drinks the water in the well, will you drink it?"

"Did Master drink it?" Nine-Tails asked curiously.

"Maybe sooner or later, Master will have to drink the water from this well. Li Bai was unwilling.

"Then what do you want, Master drank it, then I did it too!" After the Nine-Tails finished speaking, he craned his neck and drank the red wine in the cup.

In the middle of the night, Qingbai Hutong was silent, Li Bai had already returned home, he leaned on the sofa, suddenly felt a chill in his neck, and quickly took out the teardrops on his neck, and found that the teardrops were really crying.

Li Bai was excited: "Qingjue, is it you?"

Yu Jue was silent.
