"Majesty, what should I do?" Tamashi rarely ran out of ideas.

"I feel the family crest on Shu Kui's body, and I have sent someone to find it." Before, Ling Jiuchuan didn't just wait.

Hearing this, Tamashi didn't speak again, and prayed silently, hoping for good news.

After a while, the guards really came to report, but said that they had not found Shu Kui.

Ling Jiuchuan was not surprised, nodded slightly, said another place, sent people away, and paced back and forth in the room with a frown.

Yuxiao was sad and blamed herself, and volunteered to take someone to find it again.

"You rest." Ling Jiuchuan didn't let her get out of bed at all, "There are a lot of things waiting for you in the palace, and finding someone is Jin Hewei's business." ”

"But......" Tamashi refused.

"No, but." Ling Jiuchuan's words were not negotiable at all, "Do your best to get better, do your part, I don't want to see chaos inside and outside the palace." ”

Yuxiao had no choice but to say "yes" and not mention that he wanted to find someone.

And when the people sent by Ling Jiuchuan turned the entire Kui Immortal Kingdom over, Shu Kui was being carried and soaring in mid-air.

The fake jade light showed his real body, and he was actually a burly man.

"I'm sorry." He said, "I'm afraid that if you move around, you'll fall and become a meatloaf, so I'm blocking your movement." ”

"I'd rather fall and become a meatloaf." Shu Kui wanted to struggle, but he had no strength below his neck, so he had to open his mouth and shout for help.

"Save some effort." The man said, "Who do you think can hear here?" When the voice is hoarse, I can't scream when I reach a place where someone can hear me. ”

Shu Kui shut his mouth and reluctantly admitted in his heart that what he said was actually true.

"Look, it's nice to be quiet like this." The man slowly descended from the clouds.

Shu Kui found that the place where they were was was a dense forest, and the big trees were towering, more than two people thick.

"Are you going to eat me?" In this inaccessible place, she began to get scared.

"Don't eat it." The man lowered her off his shoulders and made her sit under a large tree.

"And what do you want?" Shu Kui didn't know what else he had to use.

"It's nothing, I just want to invite you to my other business." The man smiled, revealing two deep, well-proportioned dimples on his face.

"I don't want to go." Shu Kui weakly refused.

"Come on, it's all ready for you." The man seemed to be a sincere master, "You wait a minute, I'll go and open the door." ”

After speaking, he stood still in the open space between the two big trees, spread his hands, and drew a semicircle upward: "Sesame open the door." ”

With such a joking sentence, two large black iron doors slowly appeared in mid-air, with flowers carved all over the body, which was actually Western style.

The man made a "please" gesture, came over and picked up Shu Kui, and walked in towards the slowly opening iron door.

Shu Kui turned his head to look around, and saw a well-paved lawn beside the wide, flat main road, and some cobblestone paths loomed in the lawn, leading to a European-style pavilion, pond or swimming pool.

The man took three steps and two steps, and soon came to a small two-story building in the Greek style.

"Just the two of us, no one else?" Shu Kui felt that it was terrifyingly quiet here.

"When you need it, someone will come." The man gently pinched Shu Kui's knee socket and shoulder twice.

Shu Kui suddenly felt that his strength had returned, and his hands and feet could move, so he immediately struggled to jump down, turned around and ran in the direction he had come from.

The man didn't say anything, he didn't stop her, he just watched her fade away.

There is only one road, which is very easy to walk, Shu Kui soon came to the two big iron doors, tried to push it, and felt that it was not as heavy as he imagined, and there was no lock.

She was overjoyed, and hurriedly pushed the door slammed, and couldn't wait to step out.

Unlike what she imagined, it was not a dense forest outside, but a fog that was so thick that she couldn't see her fingers, she hesitated slightly, took a step forward, and walked for a while, and there were two large iron doors with carved flowers in front of her.

Shu Kui was stunned, and looked back - behind him was a straight cement road, with lawns on both sides, and there was nothing unusual.

She didn't believe in evil, pushed open the iron door again, and plunged headlong into the thick fog.

Of course, the result was the same as last time, and less than a minute later, she was back inside the iron gate.

"It's like this how many times you've walked again." The man came slowly.

"Let me out, I'm going home." Shu Kui glared at him.

"Let's play for ten days and half a month, and then let's go." The man opened the iron door and entered the thick fog, "I have something to do, so I won't accompany you." Here, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, the whole house and yard are yours, so enjoy it. ”

Shu Kui watched his figure disappear, his heart was angry and anxious, he walked back and forth several times, and gradually understood that he would definitely not be able to get out of the gate, so he stepped on the lawn, trying to find a breakthrough from the courtyard fence.

The fence here is also made of black iron, with delicate patterns and very little spaced.

Shu Kui stretched out his palm, swaying from side to side to probe, and found that the fence was very strong, and the outside was also full of fog and empty.

Suddenly, something lightly touched her fingertips.

She was startled, and instinctively withdrew her hand, thinking it was a cold, hard thing, not like a tree.

"Anyone? Is there anyone out there? She tried to scream twice.

The surroundings are very quiet, not to mention people, not even birds.

Shu Kui hesitated, plucked up his courage, and stretched out his palm again.

This time, her hand was immediately firmly grasped, and the palm of the other's hand was as rough as sandpaper, and the long, sharp nails were like the jagged teeth of a trap—it was clearly the hand of those lonely ghosts in the forest before the ghost gate closed.

Shu Kui was shocked and strode back, trying with all his strength to break free.

The owner of the ghost hand apparently couldn't wait any longer and slammed down on the fence.

An eye with only the whites of his eyes and cracked corners of his eyes, Shu Kui couldn't help screaming.

The ghost's life was not easy, until it touched the fence, as if it had touched the grid, crackling and crackling, followed by a terrible, long scream.

Shu Kui watched it let go of its hand from the crack in the fence, and retreated into the dense fog, his heart pounding, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Girl, it's time to eat." A voice rang out behind her, causing her to scream in deep fear.

"Don't be afraid, they won't get in." It was a man in his thirties, dressed in a well-fitting black suit and a narrow tie.

Shu Kui looked at him, and couldn't react for a while.

"Please, lunch is ready." The man stepped forward and touched the fence, staining his hand with black ash.

"Who are you? Is it a human or a ghost? Shu Kui began to suspect a qiē.

"My name is Huang Xiao, and I'm the housekeeper here." The man took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, "Please come with me, the others are waiting in the restaurant." ”

"Someone else? Who else? Shu Kui asked.

"Servants." Huang Xiao put away the handkerchief, turned around, led the way in front of the right, and stopped talking.

When the two of them came to the villa, they entered the living room with only a sofa, a coffee table, and a huge bookshelf that occupied an entire wall.

"This way, please." Huang Xiao took Shu Kui to turn left.

It was an open-plan dining room, with eight people seated around a long table, and behind the row of seats against the wall, four people, two men and two women, stood.

"Chef, Uncle Qiao." Huang Xiao began to introduce them one by one, "The gardener Xiaosun, the cleaner Aunt Liu, and your maid Xiaolin." ”

Shu Kui nodded at them and said hello, seeing that the rest of the people looked very ordinary, only Xiao Sun, with a pale complexion, delicate facial features, a height of more than one meter and eighty, a strong and well-proportioned figure, and short light blue hair, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Your food, clothing, and use are all in charge of Xiaolin. There is no forbidden place here, you can go anywhere. Please, let's go down first. As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Xiao and the others disappeared without a trace.

Shu Kui was frightened again, and when he looked around, he saw that the whole house was empty, and he couldn't help but secretly believe that these people were really ghosts.

There are three dishes and one soup on the table, all the colors and flavors, but Shu Kui has no appetite, after eating hastily, he went up and down in the house, and found that there are books everywhere, from ancient times to the present, all kinds of languages, all kinds of disciplines, almost everything.

Anyway, she couldn't get out for the time being, so she simply calmed down and read the book.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark, and Kobayashi reappeared, saying that dinner was ready.

Shu Kui was not polite, finished eating without saying a word, returned to the living room, looked out the window, and thought about what to do next.

When she was distracted, she suddenly heard a noise in the restaurant, and hurriedly went over to take a look, it turned out that Aunt Liu was cleaning up the dishes.

"Girl, on a hot day, let Lao Qiao boil some mung bean soup and drink it." Aunt Liu saw her and said kindly.

Shu Kui responded, looked at Aunt Liu for a while, and called her.

Aunt Liu stopped what she was doing, raised her head, and asked with a questioning face.

"I don't know if it's going to rain tomorrow." Shu Kui casually started to say - she hadn't seen sunlight since she entered the woods, and although there was an open sky above it, it was always dark and dreary, like a thick dark cloud.

"No, it won't." Aunt Liu laughed and began to wipe the table again.

"But I don't think it's good." Shu Kui didn't know why she was so sure.

"It's been cloudy since I came, it won't rain or the sun will come out." Aunt Liu said.

"How long have you been here?" Shu Kui felt that he could probably ask something this time.

Aunt Liu folded her fingers and calculated: "Speaking of which, I really can't remember how long it was, but it's been a long time anyway." ”

"Wow, I can't remember exactly, then you must be familiar with this place, can you take me around if you have time?" Shu Kui made a look of admiration and interest.

"That's right, if you want to say familiar, no one is as good as me." Aunt Liu was a little proud, "You think, Lao Qiao has been staying in the kitchen, Xiao Sun is also walking around the yard, Xiao Lin and Xiao Huang both like to nest in the room, only me, here and outside, up and down, don't they all have to rely on me to clean?" ”
