Chapter 1109: The Story
The dim candle flame flickered faintly, and only the sound of Yin Caiqin and the breathing of the five people could be heard in the entire hall. Before the story, Chu Xi insisted that there was only one lit candle left, and everyone felt hypocritical at first, but now it seems that it has indeed added a lot of atmosphere.
After listening to it for so long, Chu Xi finally couldn't help it and asked, "......Who are those three people?"
Yin Caiqin took a deep breath, and a faint sadness flashed in her eyes, "Boss Liang, Liang Shi; Brother Jiu, Sun Jiu; Small plantain, leaf basin. β
Everyone nodded in unison, and it was finally strung together! These few people.
But Xue Yuan was still frowning.
The story continues......
"Following them, I met the man......"
The young soothsayer followed the three of them into an inn, and went straight upstairs into a private room, where a strangely dressed man was already waiting. The person was all wrapped in a black cloak, and Yin Caiqin could only vaguely feel the sharp gaze of the person under the cloak.
"These people are really weird!" Yin Caiqin thought so.
"Hey! We've found someone! Ye Ba first stood up to ask for credit, his face full of pride.
"Hehe, well done." The man's voice still sounded good, but this alone couldn't eliminate the discomfort in Yin Caiqin's heart.
Yin Caiqin nervously clenched the corners of her clothes, shrunk her neck, and whispered, "That...... You're looking for me...... Well...... What's up? β
The man turned around, looked at her with a condescending momentum, and said, "I called you here today just to tell you - welcome to join the Luan Gao Society, as the founder."
"Huh?! What the?!! Yin Caiqin's brain hadn't turned around yet, and she didn't understand what the man was talking about at all.
The man tilted his head, "What, don't you understand?" I said, you have joined the Luan Gao Club. β
"Wait! What! When did I say what I was going to join!! She cried out and frowned, feeling more and more apprehensive. What the hell is going on with these strange people?!
"We're not weird people, Yin Caiqin!!" As if he couldn't hide anything from a man's eyes, Yin Caiqin felt that he was red in his eyes. Naked, I can't even hide what I think in my heart. Cold sweat broke down my spine. The man saw her insecurity, and then said, "At the beginning of Luan Gao, happy and evil? Mourning. Died in Luan Gao, mourning? Fun. You will not be unfamiliar with these two sentences. β
Yin Caiqin bit her lip and opened her mouth, her voice trembling with nervousness, "You, how are you...... Know? β
The man didn't answer, she only saw the cloak shake slightly, and some strange laughter came from under the cloak.
The atmosphere of the room became heavy.
"What is Luan Gao?" Yin Caiqin's tone calmed down, and the person seemed to be a lot calmer.
"That's the faith of the ten of you, and it's what you need to dedicate your life to."
"I don't need others to set my beliefs, and I don't need anyone else to arrange my career. I...... Just a soothsayer. β
After hearing this, the man paused, put his hand on his chin, thought about it and said, "One year, just one year." When you build Luan Gaohui, you can stay if you want to stay, and leave if you want to. With that, he shook his hand and left the room.
Yin Caiqin stood in place, not knowing what to do. When she hesitated, a hand gently put on her right shoulder, and on that hand, the five fingers were particularly beautiful, white and slender, and the nails were very smooth and pale pinkβit was Ye Ba.
"Sister, stay! It's only been a year. Ye Ba said, her voice full of tenderness and expectation.
yes, it's only a year, so let's stay......
He nodded slowly.
When the story was told, everyone was silent, if her memory was correct, if they were not mistaken, the man in the cloak was the god who disappeared that day.
"Ten in total?" Xue Yuan lowered his head and sighed carefully, it was really them...... Obviously, he didn't do anything, but he felt a little guilty, "Who else besides the four of you?" Who is the murderer? β
Yin Caiqin shook her head, closed her eyes in pain, and raised her index finger to her lips.
"Tell us, or you'll all die!" Xia Yan persuaded him.
She shook her head, "I'm sorry, I can't break my oath." The only thing I can talk about is 'picking, jiu, squeezing, seven, lu, wu, shi, shen, ii, one'. After reporting such a long list of numbers, she sighed and stood up.
"What is this? Countdown? Chu Xi was puzzled.
Shaking his head again, "By the way, where do I live?!" β
"ββ?!"
In the red-and-white manor in the heart of the vast manor, women stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in their rooms and take care of their makeup. She wore a red and white coat outlined with gold threads, raised her hand and shook her hair, her purple curls naturally draped over her back, and finally stared at the mirror, blooming into a sweet smile.
A small red bird flew over the manor, flew into the house from the door-open balcony, and landed on the woman's shoulder. Tilting his head to examine it for a while, he used his beak to help her comb the ends of her hair, which were still a little messy, and brought two small golden bells from the table.
The woman took the bell, dropped it on the ends of her hair, and flicked it with her fingers, listening to the crisp sounds with great interest.
The bird flew off the woman's shoulders and turned into a curly-haired woman in a big red feather coat not far from her.
"Are you going out?" Bird asked.
The woman nodded, "Yes~ Go to Junyu and see how they are doing~" The purple-haired woman rubbed her head and asked, "Feng, do you want to go with me?" That play is very exciting~"
Feng shook his head, "No, I'm not interested in that. β
"Aren't you going to see the phoenix?" The woman then asked.
Feng was stunned, but still shook her head, "Forget it, she's ...... Don't necessarily want to see me...... I'm here today to ask you, do you remember that bet 10 years ago? β
"Oh? Bet? β
ββ¦β¦ And Minglan master! β
"Yes......" The woman narrowed her eyes and hooked up a strange smile, "Speaking of which, it seems that there is indeed such a thing~"
"Ahh......h It took a long time for her cough to recover, and she tried to stand up, but she didn't have any strength in her arms, so she could only try to turn over and rub her back backwards, until her back was pressed against the stone wall, and the unevenness of the stone wall was against her skin, and the coldness was transmitted to her back through the thin fabric. She felt a chill down her spine, cold in her heart.
After tracking for a day, it was easy to find the traces of the scum, and I wanted to finish him off with my own hands, but I didn't want to, the other party was too powerful, and he was similar to Dori, and it was not something that a half-baked god like her could handle. In the end, it only ended up like this. Fortunately, the phoenix left first, otherwise...... Thinking about it, he coughed twice.
Clenching the gun firmly, she raised her right hand in support and aimed it at the blue-black cloaked man who kept walking towards her. Pulling the trigger, the bullet whizzed across the man's face, pulling out only a shallow blood mark, but not hurting the whole body.
The man lightly tapped the wound on his face with his thumb, stained it with a little scarlet, put it to his lips, licked it, and tasted the overflowing taste in his mouth.
As he got closer, the sound of his platform boots squeezing on the gravel floor made Moxie even more uneasy, and his muscles tensed against the stone wall, but there was no way to escape. With all the strength in your hands, you can't even lift a gun?!
"Hehehehe...... It's useless! Are you embarrassed to say that you are the god of war taught by Dory? The man laughed a few times, and then mocked, "Look at the poor little piece on your shoulder, it is also called the Divine Seal?" After the man finished speaking, he raised a long and pointed halberd, the silver tip reflecting the cold light in the moonlight, and slowly approached.
Is that really the end of it...... Weakly close your eyes......
Seeing that the silver tip was about to pierce the skin, suddenly, a strong and powerful wind hung from nowhere, blowing the halberd to the side and piercing the ground. When I looked up, I saw a large golden-red bird standing in the way between the two.
The big bird fell to the ground, turned into a girl, ran to the person who was shot, helped her and said with concern: "Sister Moxie, it's okay!" Seeing her shake her head, she turned to complain, "Really, who told you to leave me, and now you don't want me to save me?!" After saying that, he carefully combed his somewhat messy hair.
The man in the cloak clasped his hands in front of his chest, tilted his head, looked at the sweetness of the two with amusement, and let out a few kisses, "Hehehehe...... You are the sister of the cute little phoenix! β
"Who are you? How do you know Sister Dori and Feng?! Huang raised an eyebrow and looked at him unkindly.
"Look at your divine seal, you should be able to ascend to a god like a phoenix! Why do you still have to be a divine beast, guarding the territory for this waste? The man in the cloak didn't answer, but asked to himself.
"Sister Moxie is not a waste!!" Huang shouted, "It's you, as a god, but you kill human beings indiscriminately, it's a shame. β
The man shook his head, "I didn't kill people, I was just a pusherβjust like Dory." The man said, retracting the halberd, as if to let the two men go, "I don't want to explain to you too much about that, if you want to know, go ask Dori, ask her if she still remembers the bet with Minglan master." β
With that, the man turned around, spread his wings and flew away.
Huang kept staring at him and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, when suddenly, the people around him coughed violently again, so he lowered his head and asked Moxie, "What should I do next?"
ββ¦β¦ Go to Sister Dory's, ahem...... I want to know ......"
The living room of the manor was empty, except for the faint sound of water wafting from the direction of the bathroom. Huang helped the badly injured Moxie, who was still coughing, into the living room and carefully placed her on the couch.
The sound of the bathroom stopped, and Huang shouted over there, "Sister Dory!" β
"Who is it?" The person in the bathroom asked back, and the voice was a woman, but not Dory. Then the sound of barefoot stepping on the marble approached, "Dory is out, so...... Huang?! "The same big red feather coat, the wrap-chest skirt and the black divine mark on the legs, that person is a phoenix.
"Sister?!" Seeing the person coming clearly, Huang was first startled, and then said anxiously, "Sister Moxi, she is injured!" β
Feng saw the person lying on the couch at this time, stepped forward, and snorted disdainfully, "Useless woman!" If you are injured like this, it is still the phoenix that will save you! How can you take care of this picture?! Don't forget how you made a promise. β
"Yes, I'm sorry...... the person on the couch looked at the ground, apologized in a low voice, and then coughed again, and Huang hurriedly grabbed her and comforted her.
