At the same time, in a very distant place.

King Pingxi was standing in his room looking at the moonlight in the sky, the moonlight was like water, which reminded him of his own word - Chengyao.

His father, the king of Pingxi of the previous generation, chose such a name for him, but in fact, it may not have let him sweep the world.

Zhou Minghua thought for a while, looked back behind him, and then he came to the front of the bookshelf, gently pulled out a book, and flipped the switch behind the book.

Then the bookshelf made a screeching "creaking" sound, like a door in disrepair, slowly opened.

"I've seen the king!"

Naturally, there were guards behind the door, and two guards of the King of Pingxi wearing standard armor saluted the King of Pingxi.

Zhou Minghua smiled and continued to walk towards the depths of the secret passage.

After a while, the bookshelves slowly closed, and everything was back to its original state.

......

Deep in the passage is a hall, and in the center of the hall sits an old man with a half-masked face.

Not to mention the half of the mask, just the exposed half of the face can already be called terrifying.

Upon entering, the man's face shrank sharply, as if it had been drained of all the contents under the skin, and shrunk into a ball, tightly fitting the bones on the face.

It looks like the skull of a dried corpse that has been dried, which makes people can't help but think of the image of zombies in film and television dramas.

And the half of his mask can't help but arouse a person's association, which is generally to hide his ugliness or hide his identity.

Well, underneath that half of the mask...... What kind of face will it be?

Zhou Minghua was actually very interested in this, but he also knew that he had a request for the person in front of him, and this person was very disgusted by someone mentioning his mask.

"How's it going?" Zhou Minghua asked straight to the point.

"Half a year will be the long time, and we will see you!" said the man, his voice was hard and unpleasant, like the hoarse "quack" of a crow, and like the roar of the abyss.

"What do I want?" the man asked.

"Ready for you in three days. Zhou Minghua frowned and said.

"I believe in the credibility of King Pingxi. The man slowly closed his eyes and ended the conversation.

Zhou Minghua turned around and left.

......

"Smack!"

There was another sound of waking wood, which meant that Guo Yang had finished today's book to Viscount Chang'an.

"Zi'an, don't rush back first, talk to me here for a while. Chu Ling uncharacteristically stopped Guo Yang.

Guo Yang was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "Yes." ”

At this time, three days had passed since the day Chu Ling was taken out of the city by his staff.

Guo Yang naturally knew the depression in Chu Ling's heart, but of course he couldn't say it.

"I wonder if the Viscount is troubled?"

"I can't talk about troubles. Chu Ling waved his hand and said, "It's just that there are some things I can't figure out." ”

"Then I want to hear what the Viscount doesn't understand!" Guo Yang said with a smile.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that some things don't work out. But I can't figure out what I'm doing. I'm in a hurry, but there's nothing I can do. So I wanted to talk to you. ”

"Haha!" Guo Yang didn't answer Chu Ling's words immediately, but laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Chu Ling asked, his face darkened.

"I'm sorry, Viscount. I lost my temper under it. Guo Yang stood up and saluted, with an irrepressible smile on his face, "It's just that when I think of the chic and unruly Viscount Chang'an, who usually lives a chic and unruly life, he will also have so many troubles like us little people." ”

"What's so ridiculous about this?" Chu Ling pouted, "I'm also a person, although I have a better background and a little luck, but everyone will have troubles, and a hundred people have a hundred troubles, speaking of which, this is not ridiculous, Zi'an, I think you are not honest!"

Chu Ling's last joking sentence surprised Guo Yang, and he suddenly realized that he might have gone too far, because although the person he played was a dissolute person who was not tempted by the world, it was obvious that that person could not get out of the world, so ...... Guo Yang felt that he was too casual!

But fortunately, Chu Ling didn't care about this.

"Lord Viscount is joking, although I, Guo Yang, am not stupid, but I am definitely an honest person!" Guo Yang smiled, "Speaking of the saying that a hundred kinds of people have a hundred kinds of troubles, in fact, I don't agree with it very much. ”

"Then tell us what you think. Chu Ling waved his hand.

"I think people's troubles should be similar. Guo Yang said, "Almost all of them should be caused by one reason." That is - insufficient. I think that whether it is a temple lord or a peddler's pawn, in fact, everyone's troubles are almost because of this - they feel that they have shortcomings, so they want to get more. ”

"That's reasonable!" Chu Ling clapped his hands, agreeing with Guo Yang's words, and then said, "Go on." ”

"In fact, this is the greed of human beings, human beings will never forget what they lack, but they can't remember what they have, so greedy human beings will not stop their work, everyone is a greedy person, so even if they have enough, they still want to have more. ”

"That's right!" Chu Ling nodded, he could be said to have deep feelings about this matter.

He even thought that if he hadn't promised that staff member in the first place, wouldn't so many things have happened??

The answer is yes, if it weren't for the fact that Chu Ling was fascinated by ghosts in the first place, he would never have touched such a dangerous thing!

It's just that so much time has passed, and even if it is, there will be conflicts.
