Chapter 33: By the Bridge

Lao Bai, what are you doing, why are you still playing the flute when it's raining?"

Bai Xiaoyan seemed to be immersed in his thoughts just now, and finally came back to his senses at this time.

"Chartered man, why did you come here?"

"Don't talk about it, I originally wanted to go to my master, but I accidentally got lost, and I walked around and walked here without paying attention. Hey, I said let's stop talking here, and find a place to hide from the rain. ”

Bai Xiaoyan smiled slightly. "No, I don't. ”

At this time, I saw him stretch out his hand and fold a reed pole by the river, and then with a wave of his hand, the reed pole turned into an oil-paper umbrella.

Cao Xiaoyang said with a smile: "You are still powerful, I am afraid that you can catch up with the immortals in the sky with this ability." ”

Bai Xiaoyan held up the oil-paper umbrella and said, "Your matter has been discussed?"

Cao Xiaoyang nodded. "That's it. ”

"So you agreed to find the Yin Seal?"

"Hmm. ”

Bai Xiaoyan raised his head and continued to look at the river, no longer speaking.

Under the heavy rain, the fog on the river became thicker and thicker, and it was not long before I could no longer see the other side of the river.

At this time, Bai Xiaoyan suddenly said coldly: "I also promised Emperor Xudu to find the Yin Seal." ”

Cao Xiaoyang was a little surprised for a while. "You?"

"That's right, with you. ”

Cao Xiaoyang continued: "Then what benefits did he promise to give you?"

Bai Xiaoyan was silent again, and said after a moment of silence: "There is the Nai He Bridge in front, let me take you to see it." ”

Cao Xiaoyang knew that Bai Xiaoyan was very mysterious, even if he had been with him for so long, he hadn't been able to figure out what kind of ghost he was. So since he didn't want to say more about some things, he didn't ask more.

"Okay, I just want to see what Meng Po looks like by the bridge, and by the way, taste what the Meng Po soup she boils tastes like. ”

Bai Xiaoyan said with a smile: "Chartered man, this joke can't be made. ”

Cao Xiaoyang followed Bai Xiaoyan all the way along the riverbank, and after a while, he really saw a stone bridge over the Lechuan River, but unfortunately, there didn't seem to be any ghosts crossing the bridge on this rainy day, so Meng Po didn't make soup at the bridge.

Although he couldn't see the true face of Meng Po, Cao Xiaoyang saw a strange ghost by the Naihe Bridge, the ghost combed his braids and wore coarse cloth short clothes, dressed like an ancient.

Looking at his appearance, he is about a young man in his twenties, but his expression is very vicissitudes, and the depth and blankness in his eyes make Cao Xiaoyang feel like a centenarian in the twilight.

He stood quietly in the heavy rain, staring at the bridge with his eyes, motionless, like a sculpture standing on the edge of the bridge.

Bai Xiaoyan walked past him with Cao Xiaoyang, and he also turned around and greeted Bai Xiaoyan very politely.

"Hello Lord Yang, I haven't seen you in the underworld for a few days. ”

Bai Xiaoyan nodded in response, but didn't talk to him, and took Cao Xiaoyang up to the riverbank and entered a small street behind the Nai He Bridge.

Cao Xiaoyang asked a little puzzled: "Old Bai, aren't you called Bai Xiaoyan, why did that guy call you Lord Yang just now?"

"It's all old things, so don't mention it. ”

Cao Xiaoyang then asked, "What the hell is that guy just now? Why is it raining so hard that he still stands there stupidly and doesn't find a place to hide?"

"He has been there for more than a thousand years, rain or shine, and has never left. ”

"Why are you standing there all the time?"

"Because he's waiting for someone. ”

"Waiting for whom?"

Bai Xiaoyan suddenly looked up at Cao Xiaoyang.

"Charterer, don't you think you're asking too much, everyone in Xudu is asking why, it's not a good habit. ”

Cao Xiaoyang pretended to be serious and coughed twice.

"Okay, I won't ask, you can take me to my master. ”

"It's already here, and the Lethe River Water Tower is next to the Nai He Bridge. ”

Cao Xiaoyang looked towards the pavilion where Bai Xiaoyan pointed his fingers, and saw this very beautiful three-story building, which was full of red lanterns and various carved flower decorations, and even the window paper was painted with various landscapes and flowers.

"My master lives alone in such a big building?"

"Of course not, and her servants. ”

Cao Xiaoyang was suddenly shocked, he really couldn't imagine that Bai Ying, an ordinary soul hooking Yin Division, could be treated like this in the capital city, it was really incredible.

At this time, Bai Xiaoyan then said to him: "Chartered man, I still have some other things to deal with, so I won't go in with you." ”

Cao Xiaoyang found that Bai Xiaoyan did everything cleanly and neatly, and never dragged the mud and water, saying that he was leaving, and he had already left without waiting for you to respond.

Looking at Bai Xiaoyan's back holding an umbrella in the rain, Cao Xiaoyang had already guessed that he didn't have anything to deal with, he just didn't want to go into this building to see Bai Ying, after all, this guy didn't want to see any yin.

Cao Xiaoyang entered the building and saw two little girls with ancient hair buns and long skirts coming up, they seemed to be the same age as Bai Ying, and they were twelve or thirteen years old from the perspective of the yang world, looking petite and cute, but the snow-white skin on the face like paper looked a little infiltrating.

"What do you do, sir?"

Their voices were ethereal with a hint of sharpness, and Cao Xiaoyang couldn't help but be startled when he heard it.

"That'...... That's what I'm looking for my master, Bai Ying. ”

"You are Mr. Cao, my family is upstairs, please come with us." ”

So Cao Xiaoyang followed them upstairs, and the maid knocked on the door and said, "My lord, Mr. Cao has arrived." ”

Bai Ying's voice came from inside the room. "Let him in. ”

So the maid helped Cao Xiaoyang open the door, and after he entered, she closed the door for him.

When Cao Xiaoyang was in the yang world, she always thought that Bai Ying was a big girl, but she didn't expect her residence to be so exquisite.

The area of the room is very large, in addition to a princess bed decorated with all kinds of flowers, there are a large number of knick-knacks that girls like in this room, as well as valuable antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and silverware, and crystal and jade carvings.

Cao Xiaoyang finally understood why Bai Wuchang, who was Bai Ying's master, would borrow money from her, this guy was a rich woman in the underworld.

Bai Ying usually wears two ponytails in her hair, but at this moment she is wearing pajamas and wearing her hair to comb her hair in front of the mirror.

At this time, he suddenly thought that this was Bai Ying's boudoir, and it was a little inappropriate for him to be alone with her here, and he panicked for a while.

Bai Ying combed her hair and said to Cao Xiaoyang casually, "You're welcome, sit down." ”

Cao Xiaoyang glanced into the huge room and found that in addition to the princess bed, there was a chair in front of the dresser, but now it was sitting on Bai Ying, and he looked a little embarrassed for a while.

Bai Ying saw Cao Xiaoyang standing there stunned from the mirror, and continued: "Just sit on the bed, you are my apprentice and not an outsider, don't be too restrained." ”

"Oh. ”

Cao Xiaoyang walked towards the princess bed in a daze, and then raised his butt very unnaturally and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"The matter of Yin Xi has already been discussed?" Bai Ying asked intentionally or unintentionally.

"Well, I promised to go and find the Yin Seal. ”

Bai Ying smiled slightly: "What benefits did he promise to give you?"

"Ninth Glory. ”

"That's it?"

"Hmm. ”

Bai Ying laughed. "Apprentice, you're really easy to handle. ”

Cao Xiaoyang was a little puzzled, thinking to himself that he could not lose money on this transaction?

At this time, Bai Ying continued: "But you don't have the right to refuse this matter, even if you don't want anything in return, they will definitely hand it over to you, after all, the things that the old guys decided have never changed." ”

At this time, Bai Ying suddenly turned around and walked to Cao Xiaoyang and sat down.

"Why don't you look good?"

Cao Xiaoyang said, "Master, my stomach is hungry, and I haven't eaten since I entered the ghost gate. ”

Bai Ying laughed and said, "For the sake of the hamburgers you invited your teacher to eat before, the master will take you to the best restaurant in Xudu to have a good meal today." ”

At night, the lights of the city are on, and all kinds of ghosts come and go on the streets of the city, which is very lively, and Cao Xiaoyang feels that this is really a night walk of a hundred ghosts.

Bai Ying took Cao Xiaoyang to a very magnificent restaurant, and the ghosts dining in the hall on the first floor were noisy, which was quite like a nightclub.

Bai Ying booked a relatively quiet private room on the second floor, she sat opposite Cao Xiaoyang, and then handed the menu to Cao Xiaoyang's hand, and said, "Order casually, you're welcome, treat the teacher tonight." ”

Cao Xiaoyang took the menu and took a closer look, only to see that there were some crooked and intertwined lines like ghost painting peach talismans, it turned out that this menu was written in the underworld script, and he didn't know it when he first came to Yu.

Because he didn't want to make a fool of himself here, Cao Xiaoyang pointed to the menu and ordered four big dishes decently, Bai Ying took the menu and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyang, I didn't expect you to be quite good at eating." ”

Then he said to the maid, "Tell the kitchen to be ready quickly, and bring me something to drink." ”

After waiting for about ten minutes, the maid brought the dishes, and saw that the plates of each dish were covered with shiny lids, and they looked really exquisite.

Cao Xiaoyang thought to himself, it is worthy of being the best restaurant in the capital, and it means that there are so many high-end dishes.

At this time, the maid poured a strange liquid into Cao Xiaoyang and Bai Ying's cups respectively, this liquid was bright and ruddy, and it was steaming hot, which did not seem to be wine, so Cao Xiaoyang guessed that this might be some kind of high-grade soup.

He picked up the cup and was about to take a sip to taste it, but he smelled a disgusting stench, and before he could reach his mouth, he knew that he should not be able to drink it, so he put it back on the table.

At this time, Bai Ying picked up the cup and drank the bright red liquid, and after drinking, the corners of her mouth were more blood-red.
