After the sound of the piano, the cold cappella made Xue Chongxun feel that the temperature of this autumn night had suddenly dropped by one point.

In his memories, he remembers that when he was a child, he grew up in various ghost stories, such as stories such as Grandma Bear, and he believed in it when he was young; Later, he studied and was educated, and a set of systematic worldviews made him think that he understood the true nature of all things in the world; But after more experience, he wavered again.

Even the scientist Isaac Newton devoted himself to theology in his later years. The creation of all things in the world is so vast that every doctrine is just the words of one family? After all, mortal insight is limited.

Xue Chongxun looked down and saw that the floor was stained with blood, which was a piano score written by Yu Liben. The bloodstains made Xue Chongxun feel even more weird, and the atmosphere around him became more and more gloomy.

Yu Liben's courage made Xue Chongxun admire him very much, and he actually said: "Xue Lang, how about you follow the voice and take a look?" ”

Rao is Xue Chongxun has a lot of courage, but he has long been accustomed to the brilliant lights of a prosperous life, and suddenly in such a clean and dark environment, he couldn't help but feel a little palpitations, and said in a daze: "We are guests, wandering around in the middle of the night, I am afraid that it will be rude." ”

Yu Liben said angrily: "The miscellaneous family went to take a look alone." ”

Xue Chongxun was a little hesitant in his heart, he originally had a fear of the unknown, but the more this happened, the more he wanted to see it clearly, and he really couldn't figure out people's thoughts. He thought for a while and shouted, "Sanniang......"

Sanniang pushed the door in, hugged her fists and said, "What does Lang Jun command?" ”

Xue Chongxun stood up and said, "Let's accompany Father-in-law Yu over to see what is going on." Be careful, don't let the Taoist priests see it, it's hard to explain when the time comes. ”

The three of them summed up for a moment, and walked out of the guest room without taking the lantern, and Yu Liben ordered the eunuch to stay here, and then they followed the aspect of the song just now. At this time, the sound of the piano and singing stopped, and the night sky was silent, and there was not even a sound at all.

There is no moonlight tonight, the light is dim, and this temple is also frugal, and there are no street lights in the courtyard. The starry tower in the back was lit up, and most of the other houses were dark. Xue Chongxun walked very hard to see the road with one shallow foot, and then he found that Sanniang walked very naturally, not only admired it very much, but said in a low voice: "Sanniang, can you see the road?" ”

"By feeling." Sanniang said lightly.

Xue Chongxun then stretched out his hand to the front and groped for a while, grabbed Sanniang's hand, and felt her hand instinctively shrink slightly, but then stopped again, letting Xue Chongxun grasp it. The little hands were cold, and there was not even a trace of heat, and Xue Chongxun's heart became more and more strange.

After walking for a while, Sanniang turned around and said, "There is a wall in front, there is no way." ”

Yu Liben stepped forward, groped around the wall and looked left and right, there were no buildings on this side of the wall, except for the small house that was dark and suspected to be a pavilion, only some trees and rocks and other things, probably the courtyard where the guest room was located was a garden. Yu Liben said: "Judging from the previous voice, it is estimated that it is on the other side of the wall, let's look to see if there is a door." ”

The light was too dim, and the three of them groped along the wall for a long time but couldn't find where the door was, so Xue Chongxun climbed the wall. When he climbed over the wall, he was inexplicably excited, probably recalling the situation of going out over the wall to play when he was studying, looking forward to it, worrying about it, his heart was fluttering, and he felt so similar.

After climbing over the wall, I found that the houses here were low but compact, not at all as desolate as the guest rooms, and there were still lights on in a few rooms. Xue Chongxun said in a low voice: "With so many rooms, how can you know where the sound of the piano comes from?" Unless it can still be heard. ”

At this moment, suddenly a woman's voice shouted, "What man! Xue Chongxun was taken aback, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a female Taoist priest in Ge Yi, still holding a sword in her hand.

Xue Chongxun blurted out: "Oops, it's embarrassing to be discovered!" ”

The female Taoist priest's shouting just passed, and a moment later the door of the opposite room opened, only to see the Yuqing Taoist Gu standing at the door, she had changed her clothes, wearing a white long dress, but unfortunately the light was very dim, she turned her back to the light in the room, her face was not very clear, faintly a melon seed-shaped face.

Just now, the female Taoist priest took a few steps forward with a lantern, Xue Chongxun and the others were behind the wall, and now it was too late to climb the wall and go back, the light was close, and they were completely exposed. Seeing this, Daoist Aunt Yuqing asked with some annoyance and confusion: "Father-in-law Yu, what is your intention in entering the inner house in the middle of the night?" The people who live here are all women! ”

Yu Liben was extremely embarrassed, blushing and said: "The miscellaneous family heard the sound of the piano, and they were very curious...... Xue Chongxun and Sanniang looked at each other, this fact tonight is a loss of identity.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a delicate voice shouted with a tone of surprise: "Xue Lang! ”

Xue Chongxun hadn't reacted yet, how could someone know him in a Taoist temple that had just arrived, he had rarely left Beijing except for Hedong and Chang'an. At this time, a white-haired girl had come out of Aunt Yuqing's room...... Who is not Bai Impermanence?

"You know?" Yuqing Daogu asked coldly. But Bai Wuchang didn't have time to pay attention to Yuqing, walked straight out, and said to Xue Chongxun with a smile: "Ha, what a coincidence, why did Xue Lang come to Shangqing Temple?" Is this fate? As he spoke, he glanced at Sanniang next to him.

At this time, Sanniang noticed that Xue Chongxun was still holding her hand, her face turned red, and she hurriedly pulled out her hand and put it behind her back.

Xue Chongxun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "By the way, the person who those unknown Jianghu people want to arrest tonight is you!" ”

"Isn't it?" Bai Wuchang pretended to be pitiful, and raised his mouth and said, "Those people are so ruthless, there are secret agents from the government who want to arrest me in various passes, but now it's good, the people on the dock are also unhappy with me, and I have nowhere to go......"

If it weren't for the fact that Xue Chongxun was almost stabbed to death by this woman in the City God Temple before, looking at her like this, Xue Chongxun really believed that she was a cute weak woman.

Seeing this, the Yuqing Daoist at the door said stiffly: "It's so late, don't shout in the courtyard, since you are an acquaintance, come in and talk about it." ”

Xue Chongxun turned back to Yu Liben and said: "It's all here, let's go in and sit down, and Father-in-law Yu can also ask if the sound of the piano is from this white girl's playing, she should know the rhythm." ”

So a few people walked towards the room, and when they got closer, Xue Chongxun saw the appearance of the jade Qingdao aunt, it was really Bingqing Yujie and beautiful. The melon seed face is pointed and chin, and the skin is as pure as a clear spring, compared with her, Bai Wuchang's face is rounder, and she looks childish...... Just look at the looks.

There were five people standing in the room at once, two "men" and three women. Xue Chongxun casually looked at this room, there was a copper tripod in the middle, green smoke was rising from the hole on the lid, and there was a charcoal fire burning underneath, as if it was a furnace for alchemy. The surrounding furnishings are also simple and elegant, there are swords, dust, danqing and other things, the most is a variety of ancient books, the bamboo slips on the case do not know whether it is an antique dug out of the grave.

Bai Wuchang said with a smile: "I was almost arrested in Ruzhou last time, if Xue Lang hadn't let me go, I would definitely not have been able to get to Luoyang." Xue Lang has the grace to save his life, and I am also thinking about how to repay it, or do I want to make a promise? ”

As soon as these words came out, except for Sanniang, who had known Bai Wuchang for a long time, who was still indifferent, everyone else was stunned. Yu Liben glanced at Xue Chongxun, probably thinking that Bai Wuchang was his lover. Xue Chongxun himself understood that although this woman couldn't talk about a honey-bellied sword, she was definitely a thorny flower.

There was already some hostility in the eyes of that Yuqing Daogu...... Seeing this, Xue Chongxun was secretly worried, and his heart was full of all kinds of speculations. He hurriedly said: "The white girl is joking too much, you and I are acquaintances at most." But if you are desperate and serve under my account, I will definitely treat you well. ”

Bai Wuchang Jiao said angrily: "Speaking of this, I was about to ask you!" Last time I revealed a clue to you, I thought you would only take care of the Dongshi Inn when you went back to Chang'an, but you were good to call someone to check it so soon...... And instructed to kill that person? I was unprepared in a hurry, and I almost had no place in the rivers and lakes! Did you deliberately harm me in this way so that you could force me to be your subordinate? ”

"Killed?" Xue Chongxun was also a little surprised.

A few months ago, he was assassinated by this white impermanence in the City God Temple, and almost lost his life, and he has been trying to find out who bought the murderer. Originally, he entrusted Yuwenxiao to do this, but because he met Bai Wuchang again in Ruzhou, he got some clues, so he immediately sent someone to inform Yuwenxiao of the clues. He really didn't expect Yu Wenxiao to kill people, it is estimated that Yu Wenxiao was recognized by someone, and he didn't want to affect his career, so he killed people? G
