A thousand years ago, the state of Zhou, the capital of the country.

Anping Fang, full of flowers.

Mingji Shuishu leaned against the window, bored, watching the people coming and going on the road outside.

She is a famous dancing girl in Beijing, and this year is the fifth year that she has become the top brand of Anping Fang. Every night she dances, the building will be crowded with many men, many people compete to shout her name, send all kinds of rare treasures and desire to spend a moment together, but Shui Shu never looks at them squarely, only sells her art and does not sell her body.

After she was also a famous family, her poor father did something wrong, and the court raided her home. Her father hanged herself, and her mother went mad for a few years with her husband, leaving her alone. In order to cure her mother's illness, at the age of twelve, she was in debt, and was finally sold to the Qinglou to pay off her debts.

Shui Shu, who was sold in, only wanted to seek death at first. The old bustard who was full of flowers saw that she was beautiful, so he continued to persuade her with good words, and matched her with maids and maids to serve her.

Slowly, Shui Shu also gave up the idea of committing suicide. When she has saved enough money for her life, she leaves.

Since then, Shui Shu began to use the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting she had learned, and gradually gained a foothold in Huamanlou, and later climbed to the top position step by step.

She grew in fame and earned more and more money.

It takes 100,000 taels of silver to redeem herself, and she has already saved more than 90,000 taels of silver, and there are many treasures, so if nothing else, she can leave this red dust land this year.

Only, after leaving, what will she do for a living? She will only be able to dance, play the piano, and write. That former home, I'm afraid that the weeds in the yard are tall. After these five years, she has long been a duckweed, with no home to return to, and nowhere to live.

"Girl, I bought you the Xishi Xu Ji Snow Cream you wanted. Her maid paper kite walked in with a plate of delicate white pastries.

The paper kite looked at Shui Shu by the window, so she walked over and wanted to close the window. "Girl, it's still very cold now, don't open the window to blow the cold wind, it's not good to catch a cold. ”

"Hmm. Shui Shu got up, sat down at the table, and ate the pastry.

When she was still Miss Yuanda, she was particularly fond of his pastries.

"I don't know when the wisteria flowers downstairs will bloom. Shui Shu muttered.

Shui Shu's voice makes people listen to it crispy and numb, and Paper Kite likes to listen to her.

"It's still early, girl, it's just spring. ”

Shui Shu picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to the paper kite, "Reward you." ”

"Thank you, girl. The paper kite happily took it. Her eyes were small, and she narrowed into a line when she smiled.

The paper kite was sold here at the age of ten, and the family was poor and could not afford to raise girls, but fortunately it was sold for money.

As soon as she came here, she looked honest and could do things, so she was sent to Shui Shu by the bustard. Shui Shu's last maid eloped with someone, was caught by the bustard, broke her leg, and was locked in the firewood room to self-destruct.

After the paper kite finished eating the pastry, she remembered one thing: "By the way, girl, when I just went upstairs, my mother told me to tell you that the city has been haunted recently, and the girl went to bed early after dancing at night." ”

"What's going on?" Shui Shu has lived in this capital for seventeen years, but she has never heard of a haunted thing after the first lunar month, and even a haunted thing is rarely heard of. This place is the closest to the Son of Heaven, and is blessed by the Son of Heaven and the Buddha, how dare the devil and monsters make it easy.

"Then I don't know, but I heard Brother Li say that this disaster can lead all the people on the fairy mountain down, and yesterday I saw a few white-clothed men come to us to ask about the situation. ”

"It's so powerful. ”

"So, girl, you have to be careful. ”

"Hmm. Shui Shu took a sip of hot tea and studied the chess game.

Yesterday she had finished dancing and received a bunch of gifts, one of which was a painting and an unfinished chess game that caught her attention, and today she was idle and had nothing to do, so she studied the game.

At the beginning of the day, the building was already crowded with guests.

Shui Shu was putting on makeup in the room, and the paper kite was shouting outside the door, "Girl, hurry up, Mom is already urging downstairs." ”

"It's coming. Shui Shu picked left and right, chose a Kingdee hairpin from the table and put it on, hurriedly went downstairs, and left the rest of the hair accessories on the table, waiting for the maid to clean up.

"The smoke is deep and the water is wide, and there is no way to reach the news.

Only the blue sky and the moon are parting.

I feel sad all day long, and my frown seems to be difficult to open. Stay for a long time and wait for the return of the king's soul. ”

In the center of the stage, she sang the poems written by today's hottest poet Li Taibai, and her singing voice was like a jade. Then, she danced her waist and her red dress to the rapid beat of the break, which made the audience overwhelmed.

Shui Shu's frowns touched the hearts of everyone in the audience.

Shui Shu was halfway through the dance when an uninvited guest barged in.

If it is an ordinary troublemaker, a few strong men at the door can beat him so that he can't find the north, and he doesn't dare to disturb the rich lord inside. Those little guys didn't stop it, or they didn't dare to stop it, because it was not a human being, but a demon.

The demon was covered in black gas, like a ghost, "The little lady is so beautiful, the song is good, and the dance is okay." ”

"Who are you, how dare you interrupt Miss Shui!" a wealthy boy stood up and questioned him. Who is so bold to interrupt the good interest of the master.

"Hmph, I don't know this king? Why, you haven't heard the rumors that the capital is haunted recently,"

After he finished speaking, the people sitting looked at each other and whispered, I don't know who shouted "It's the ghost king", and the sons and brothers who were still leisurely in the last second turned pale with fright and hurriedly fled.

But it was too late, and countless snakes, red, green, black, and poisonous, sprang out from under each table, and they all crawled towards the people.

"Then please remember. After the demon finished speaking, he ignored the group of ants and walked towards Shui Shu step by step.

Shui Shu fell to the ground in fright, those maids and little maids were frightened, and no one came to her.

The demon stepped onto the stage, and when he was only a few steps away from Shui Shu, a person stood in front of Shui Shu.

The demon didn't even look at the obstacle and kicked him away.

The monster carefully touched Shui Shu's face with his hand, such a perfect person is about to be his own.

The annoying obstacle crawled over again, clutching him tightly. "Let's go, Shui Shu, let's go. He shouted, refusing to let go.

"Look for death. The demon couldn't bear it anymore, and grabbed him by the neck with one hand, intending to kill him.

A sharp sword light slammed into the demon's body.

"She Yuan, I think today is your death date. A young man in white stood behind the demon with a sword.

"Xiao Wuyan, it's you again. She Yuan turned and looked at him.

"And me. A woman in white cleaned up most of the poisonous snakes and came to Xiao Wuyan's side.

"I said, your Changyang Sect is quite idle. ”

"Uncle Snake, I don't run around you every day. When you die, my sister and I can take a rest. Xiao said shamelessly.

"I'm not idle. After the snake demon finished speaking, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared into the air.

He fled.

The son, who had been protecting Shui Shu, stood up in embarrassment, straightened his clothes, and helped Shui Shu up.

"Childe, thank you. Shui Shu was frightened by the scene just now, and she couldn't stand weakly.

"Girl, don't thank you. ”

Shui Shu looked at the person in front of her, white and pure, and looked like a scholar.

"Dare to ask Childe's name?"

"Xiaosheng Zhang Sheng. ”
