If there is anything to say, it is the location of this tea shop, which is right opposite the center shore of Yandong Lake, and tourists and pedestrians coming and going in Yandong Lake will definitely pass in front of this tea shop.

Other than that, there's nothing special.

And it was such a mediocre tea shop owner who poured two pots of palace tribute tea that all the concubines in the palace couldn't ask for? Don't want money? Give it to them?

The suspicion in Cen Zhaohou's heart was even worse, and he couldn't help but look at the tea shop owner twice.

By the time the boatmen in Yandong Lake began to shout and solicit business, several people had been sitting in this tea shop for more than an hour, during which the owner of the tea shop kept coming over to serve tea and water, and also gave them a lot of delicate, very expensive dim sum.

Several other people also began to look sideways at the owner of this ordinary-looking tea shop, and Lou Yinyang sighed directly: "Boss, you are so rich......

The owner of the tea shop just smiled slightly, and he was still flattering in his smile, and he couldn't feel the breath of a rich man at all, and said to a few people mysteriously: "I'm just a runaway, the real boss...... How could I be such an 'ordinary person'. ”

Lou Yinyang looked suddenly enlightened: "Oh-no wonder, I'll just say, you don't look very rich." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she also noticed that she was clumsy, and hurriedly drank tea to hide her embarrassment.

Yun Sha next to her nodded and smiled at the owner of the tea shop, showing apology.

No one noticed that Yun Sha's smile made the hands of the tea shop owner tremble, as if he was trying his best to suppress some kind of desire, and he trembled with excitement.

After this small episode on the shore of Yandong Lake, several people finally came to the boat in the middle of the lake again, and the hardships along the way were emotional.

But on the whole, time hasn't passed long, but there are too many things experienced, and the moods and emotions of the four people are different, which makes people feel like they are in a different world.

And in this short period of time, the boat in the middle of the lake has changed greatly.

As a famous scenic spot in Yandong City, keeping the changes and keeping it fresh is an important reason why the lake boat makes all tourists who have never been here or who have already been here want to come and play again.

Probably because the early autumn has arrived, the previous colorful, colorful boat in the middle of the lake, this time the main warm, demure ginger tone, the main road spread out a few patchwork stone paths, winding forward, each shop sign pinned a beautiful maple branch, the color of the sign has been changed to brown yellow, brown red...... These warm and calm tones make people feel full of soft autumn as soon as they step on the boat in the middle of the lake.

And the sky overhead, without a single cloud, showed an empty, lonely blue.

In this autumn lakeside boat, you can see the sky, and you will have a sense of comfort in autumn.

The shops on both sides of the street do not seem to be as enthusiastic as they are in the middle of summer, and some shop owners even put up a reclining chair and sleep in front of the store.

This is a good thing for them, after all, there is a curious Lou Yinyang among them, and without others to provoke her curiosity, they can have a much smoother journey.

However, this time Lou Yin and Yang failed to take them to find the dead to come to the inn, and after seven rounds and eight turns, several people actually returned to the entrance.

Yun Xue asked Lou Yinyang what was going on, Lou Yinyang frowned, and his mouth twitched: "I don't know, I also walked the same way as last time, but...... Last time, someone called me over, and this time ......"

As soon as she said this, a few people understood.

Without the guidance of Lou Yinyang's ability, everyone had to look blindly on this boat, but after looking for two hours, they still couldn't find the entrance to the inn where the dead man came.

So the four of them had to gather at the entrance and carefully think about what other details were worth referring to.

While they were trying to remember the details, there was also a tall black shadow hiding in the shadows, silently watching them.

When the time came in the evening, the lanterns on both sides of the street were sparsely lit, and Yun Sha looked at the sunset that was already half-hidden behind the mountain, and guessed: "Last time, we waited until evening before the inn opened...... Maybe this time, too, we'll go back to that place. ”

However, in the face of the same location, but still completely unfamiliar shop, several people had to look at the sky and sigh: what the hell is going on?

After half a day, the four of them were extremely tired, and they really had no choice, so they had to temporarily lean against the wall to think and rest.

They had turned the huge boat in the middle of the lake back and forth, left and right, and did not dare to let go of a corner twice, but still found nothing.

So I thought it was the wrong time, but now it seems that it is not a matter of timing.

Lou Yinyang stared at the ground with a dejected expression.

The last time she came up to the boat, she heard many voices talking to her, but this time, the boat was quiet, and she didn't hear anything.

Cen Zhaohou was also very anxious when he saw Yun's sad face, after all, the jade pendant that was extremely important to him and her was still lost in the inn, if he didn't find it in time......

They thought that the sooner they came, the faster they would be able to find the jade pendant, but they didn't expect that now they couldn't even find the door of the inn.

He looked at Yun Sha worriedly, he knew that the blood-colored jade pendant was the only thing her mother had left behind, and for him, it was also the bond that bound him to Yun Sha.

The clouds stared blankly at the sky, the night had come, it was as black as splashing ink, and there was not a single star.

It's a metaphor for despair: they will never find the entrance to the inn where the dead come from, they will never find the jade pendant, and she will lose the last contact with her mother forever......

Yun Sha thought so.

A somber atmosphere permeated the crowd.

Although Yun Sha often has an indifferent face on weekdays, he has never shown gloom.

At this moment, she was extremely gloomy, like a blanket that had just been shaken off from the icy winter water, clammy, heavy, and desperate.

Lou Yinyang squatted aside, not daring to say a word to her, for fear of saying the wrong thing, and the blanket she had just shaken off would fall into the ice water again.

Cen Zhaohou saw that the heavy night seemed to slowly wrap the clouds, and got up and walked to her side.

He reached out and patted Yunsha's head.

The woman suddenly grabbed his hand, then pulled it down, let go of her fingers, and said softly, "I'm fine." ”

raised his face again, and returned to that indifferent and unfazed look. Then she got up and walked to the alley, and said, "Let's go." ”

Then he turned and walked out of the alley where the inn was, leaving the three of them looking at each other behind them.

Seeing this, Cen Zhaohou hurriedly followed, and ran to the expressionless woman, but he couldn't say words of comfort, she was close to him because of the jade pendant, and he knew how important this jade pendant was to her and to himself.

The four of them had no choice but to walk to the entrance after a busy day's work.

Lou Yin Yang couldn't help but hide behind Zong Lu, the current Yunsha, depressed made her a little scared, even if she hid this gloom deeply, she could feel it from her breath.

When she finally reached the entrance, Yun Sha was already tired and uneven in breath, she turned to look at the already brightly lit lake boat street in the distance, and somehow, stopped turning back.

She looked up at the sky, away from the lights of the world, and the few scattered stars in the sky also showed a faint brilliance, as if she could see the sun through the clouds, and she cheered up again.

She didn't want to just give up.

And just as she decided to explore the boat in the middle of the lake again, a woman in white walked up to them.

It is not quite right to say that she is in white clothes, because she seems to have just wrapped herself from head to toe with a white cloth, revealing only a pair of amorous eyes.

She walked lightly to the side of several people, and as soon as she spoke, a tearing voice made their throats tighten: "I know you are looking for an inn, this way", she pointed in a certain direction with her tightly wrapped arm, "Follow me." ”

With that, he turned around and walked on his own, regardless of whether they responded or not, and whether anyone followed.

Although Cen Zhaohou was suspicious of this strange-looking woman, he still walked behind Yun Sha, and Lou Yin Yang and Zong Lu also followed closely behind.

I walked around in the alley with the white shadow in front of me, and I don't know how long I walked, but I heard the noisy voices on the street gradually becoming smaller and disappearing, and the surrounding light became weaker and weaker, and the vision became darker and darker.

By the time they reacted, there was a dead silence around them, and the woman who had just run halfway to lead the way had disappeared into the thick night.

They were forced to stop where they were.

Suddenly, they could see each other clearly, despite the darkness around them.

They couldn't see the ground beneath their feet, they couldn't see the buildings around them, they couldn't tell where the sky was and where was the ground, and the darkness connected the sky and the earth seamlessly, and they couldn't even tell if they were standing on the ground or if they were already suspended in the air—even in this case, they could still see each other.

It was as if they were the luminaries of the darkness.

The fear of being wrapped in endless darkness made them can't help but lean their backs together and face the darkness.

At this moment, a familiar woman's voice came: "I ran so fast last time, I couldn't stop it, look, it's not coming back obediently." ”

Then there was a loud snap of fingers, and the darkness disappeared, and the four of them stood in the spacious and bright inn of the dead.

And the person who spoke just now was Xu Xiuniang, who was still old and charming, she was still wearing the intricate patterned floor-length robe, and her headdress was still the same, but this time, she looked more than ten years younger than last time.

It seems that it is not very accurate to say that the charm still exists, and this time standing in front of them, it is Xu Xiuniang, a young girl whose skin can be broken.

And the poisonous snakes wrapped around her waist have also disappeared.

She couldn't keep anything too wasteful, and the last time she was defeated, she killed them all.
