After passing through more than a dozen dark alleys, Xia Qing and the old shopkeeper followed the Iron Lady Lu Qinghong to a small house.

The house faces the street, which is not remote, but it is far from the main road, and there are not many people coming and going on the street. Xia Qing looked over and found that this was a steamed bun shop, the front half of the house sold hot meat buns, and the second half was inhabited. What is even more surprising is that the bun shop is not far from the inn just now, only one street away, and Lu Qinghong took the two of them around in a big circle.

"Matchmaker, three meat buns, matchmaker......" someone called outside.

"Well, here we are. ”

Lu Qinghong hurriedly walked out and sold all kinds of steamed buns familiarly.

Xia Qing and the old shopkeeper glanced at each other, smiled silently, and sat down to wait quietly.

After a while, Lu Qinghong finished the work at hand, closed the door of the store, looked at Xia Qing and the old shopkeeper who were waiting quietly, and smiled awkwardly, "Childe, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”

"It's okay, matchmaker, why are you here?Uncle Qin, where have you been?" Xia Qing looked around, but Qin Yuan was never seen. After they were separated in Zhaojiazhuang, he never saw Qin Yuan and Lu Qinghong again, he went to Wuzhou, and Qin Yuan and his family continued to wander the rivers and lakes. Unexpectedly, we met again in the gray city of the nether world.

"Hehe, I'm tired after wandering for a long time, Gray City is not a good place, but I get used to living and living, as for you Uncle Qin......" Lu Qinghong was very free, but when it came to her husband Qin Yuan, her eyes slowly turned red.

Xia Qing became nervous, "Matchmaker, what's wrong with Uncle Qin, something happened?"

"yes, big deal. ”

Lu Qinghong was very sad and said: "I have been waiting in Gray City for more than a year, but I still haven't seen him, and I haven't come. ”

"Uncle Qin has met the enemy?" Xia Qing was even more uneasy, and wanted to ask more carefully, but the old shopkeeper secretly pulled his clothes.

"Stupid, look at this woman's face. The old shopkeeper's soul transmitted, and the voice sounded in Xia Qing's mind.

The light in the room was not good, Xia Qing observed carefully, and only then did he find that Lu Qinghong's face was not as ruddy as before, and like many residents in the city, it was gray from head to toe. Doesn't this mean that Lu Qinghong in front of him is a dead man who has passed away?

Xia Qing's heart was stunned, looking at Lu Qinghong, who had saved him desperately, he was not afraid, but came from his heart, and his eyes gradually turned red.

"Childe, are you crying?"

Lu Qinghong noticed Xia Qing's expression and smiled freely, "Don't be sad for me, although the matchmaker has left the world, she is still alive, and she has gained eternal life here, and she can live forever." The only thing I can't worry about is your Uncle Qin, I'm not around, who will charge him money when he is performing arts? What if he doesn't eat well, what should I do if I eat outside? Also, there are so many young girls and fox spirits in the rivers and lakes, what if he can't control it, or if he is entangled by others?"

Lu Qinghong was very sad, looking like she had broken her liver and intestines.

"Uh......"

Xia Qing was a little speechless, and didn't know how to answer for a while. Originally, he thought that something had happened to Qin Yuan, but now he knew that it was Lu Qinghong who had the accident. After pondering for a while, Xia Qing asked cautiously, "Matchmaker, how long have you lived in this gray city?"

"It's been more than a year, almost two years, I can't remember clearly. I was angry with your Uncle Qin, and I said that I would be together forever for the rest of my life, and if I haven't come for so long, I'm really not afraid that my mother will give him a green hat? Hmph!" Lu Qinghong said angrily, his personality and temper were exactly the same as when he was alive.

Xia Qing silently calculated, and suddenly his heart tingled.

According to Lu Qinghong, not long after the separation in Zhaojiazhuang, she died, and it is very likely that she died after being poisoned by the corpse, and she paid her life to protect herself. How painful is Qin Yuan, who has been wandering on the rivers and lakes, who depends on her for his life?

Xia Qing's nose was sour, "Matchmaker, I'm sorry, I hurt you." ”

"Silly boy, how can I blame you, it's useless for me. Anyway, I have long been tired of the boring days of wandering on the rivers and lakes every day. It's good now, if you're in a good mood, you can get up and make some steamed buns to sell, and if you're in a bad mood, you can sleep all day and sleep the next day. You don't have to worry about how to make money, you don't have to worry about being hunted down, and you don't even have the responsibility to kill demons for Tianxingdao, and you can live as you want to live. Lu Qinghong's face was relaxed, and she seemed to be really relieved, "Now, I only have one wish left, I wonder if Gongzi can help me?"

"Matchmaker, please just ask. Xia Qing replied, the old shopkeeper felt bad, and looked at Xia Qing vigorously, but Xia Qing pretended not to see it.

"Now, I don't need anything but to be with my family. This is the most beautiful expectation, and it is also my only wish. In the early years, I had a son named Qin Liang, who was about the same age as you, and was killed by the enemy. During my time in Grey City, I have been searching for his whereabouts, hoping to be reunited with him. ”

Lu Qinghong paused and said, "Except for his son Qin Liang, the only hope is to reunite with your Uncle Qin." Childe, when I return to the world, can you bring me a message?"

"No problem. Xia Qing agreed, "Matchmaker, what should I say after seeing Uncle Qin?"

"You just say I'm waiting for him in Gray City, let him come down quickly, don't be sluggish. Ask him if he has a crush on a little girl who hasn't come to see me for so long, this dead ghost. Lu Qinghong said angrily.

Xia Qing was embarrassed and didn't dare to answer, Lu Qinghong's expectations were a little unbearable. Others hope that their relatives will live a long life, but she wishes that her husband Qin Yuan would die early, how can people say this?

"In addition, Childe, you have great powers, if Qin Yuan's dead ghost really comes to the Nether Realm in the future, Childe, can you ...... , help escort your Uncle Qin in?" Lu Qing looked at Xia Qing with red eyes and said, "I'm worried that the dead ghost's skills are not enough, and he won't be able to get in after death." It doesn't matter if you are killed by the demons, you will die simply, and you will be swept into the bottomless Yin River outside the city, but you don't know how many sins you will suffer, and your soul will be deprived and withdrawn in the slightest. Childe, can you help the matchmaker?"

After going around in a circle, Lu Qinghong said his true expectation, eager to reunite with Qin Yuan in the city. When she arrived in the Gray City, she almost lost all her yang skills, and it was completely luck that she was able to rush into the Gray City for refuge, and she could only pin her hopes for Qin Yuan on Xia Qing.

The old shopkeeper secretly pulled Xia Qing's clothes again, "Qing'er, don't agree, you can't do it." ”

"Okay, no problem! matchmaker, don't worry!"

Xia Qing didn't hear the voice of the old shopkeeper, and sold him directly, saying: "My cultivation is shallow, I'm afraid I can't escort Uncle Qin, but this old man next to me is not simple, he is the state pastor of the dignified Guzhongzhou, and he can penetrate the large array of the demon army with one sword." With his old man here, don't worry, matchmaker, wrap it up with us. ”

"Okay, great, thank you, Childe, thank you, Lord Governor!"

Lu Qinghong was overjoyed, got up and went outside to take a few buns, and carefully wrapped them in gauze.

"Matchmaker, you're welcome, we've already eaten. Xia Qing said.

"Childe, this is not for you, please help me transfer it to your Uncle Qin, he likes to eat the buns I made the most. Lu Qinghong replied.

Xia Qing was a little embarrassed, so she had to smile and stand up after glancing at the old shopkeeper. It's not early, it's time to leave, put the bun in the Qiankun ring, and say goodbye to Lu Qinghong. They were already out, and Lu Qinghong chased after them again.

"Wait, Childe, wait. ”

Lu Qinghong hesitated for a moment and said, "Childe, what are you looking for?"

"Yes, matchmaker, do you have a clue?" Xia Qing asked rhetorically.

Lu Qinghong looked around and whispered: "There are two towns in the Nether Realm, one is the Gray City, and the other is called the Fog City, which is more than a hundred miles away. Recently, there is nothing unusual in the gray city, but I heard that there was a vision of heaven and earth in the fog city a few days ago, and a lot of palaces appeared faintly in the fog, I don't know if it is the Great Joy Valley you are looking for. ”

"Matchmaker, really?" Xia Qing became excited, and when she heard the word 'Fog City', the old shopkeeper frowned.

"Seriously, I overheard it in the City Lord's Mansion. Childe, Fog City is very dangerous, you must be careful, if it is not very necessary, don't go. Lu Qinghong advised.

"Okay, thank you matchmaker, old man, let's go!"

Xia Qing's mind was no longer in the gray city, so he pulled the old shopkeeper and left quickly, and soon disappeared into the flow of people.

"Childe, you must be careful. ”

Lu Qinghong muttered, turned around and left. No one noticed that on the roof of one of the highest palaces in the Gray City, a woman in a strong suit watched everything silently, with a pair of falcon wings growing behind her back.

"Your Excellency is really right, there is a distinguished guest from the Netherworld, your distinguished guest!"

The woman in the power suit sneered, looked at the back of Xia Qing and the old shopkeeper in the distance, suddenly leaned forward and jumped from the towering palace roof, and then, the body transformed in mid-air, suddenly opened its wings and turned into a falcon, the wings were lightly flapped to a thousand meters away, and after another beat, it disappeared into the sky, and went to the north, which was the direction where the fog city was located.

The fog rolled, and the gray fog that permeated the sky over the gray city became thicker, and it was gloomy and never saw the light of day.
