【138】Sauna
The fowl was silent.
In the darkness, he quietly turned his head to look at Mo Zhai's face that had become blurred in the dark, and a trace of nervousness suddenly appeared in his heart.
The two ghosts have been teachers and students for thousands of years from the human world to the underworld, and their private relationship has long been more than just a teacher and a friend, but more like a father-son relationship.
Based on his understanding of Mo Zhai, he knew that Mo Zhai would not allow a traitor to exist, even if this traitor had not been concluded, it was nothing more than a rumor chasing after the wind and shadows, and Mo Zhai would strangle him in the cradle.
He thought that at this time, Mo Zhai's face, which could only be vaguely seen, must be full of anger and murderous aura.
"In the afternoon, I have sent Lin Cong to Shuoyue Island secretly. Sure enough, after a while, Mo Zhai spoke again and said in a deep voice: "One is to quietly get some stainless steel weapons back, and the other is to secretly execute Leng Zi Bodhi." ”。
Although he had already prepared in his heart, he still couldn't help but tremble after hearing the words, and his pupils gradually dilated, but he knew that nothing he said could change Mo Zhai's decision. Therefore, in addition to being shocked, he never begged for mercy for King Kong.
Not even a lamented lament. It's just like a sculpture, standing in place without saying a word.
"King Kong, he must die. These seven words didn't make the bird slip wait too long, and they came out of Mo Zhai's mouth coldly as scheduled.
The night breeze blew, blowing the sleeves of Mo Zhai and the fowl's slippery clothes, and the clothes were hunting.
Ben was still in the hut behind them, and the craftsmen who were busy all the time, when they saw that night had fallen, put out the stove, packed up their tools, and walked out. After saying goodbye to Mo Zhai one by one, they went down the stone steps built on the stone wall and got off the rock pillar, and rushed to their own direction.
The clanging noise on the rock pillar disappeared suddenly, but it seemed that the top of the wide rock pillar was even more silent, and it was really extremely harsh when a needle fell on the ground.
Seeing the soldiers on duty guarding this place at night, carrying torches to the bottom of the rock pillar, Mo Zhai walked under the rock pillar and said to the bird that followed him: "But I can't fully trust him yet. ”。
Bird Slippery was slightly stunned, since leaving the capital city, Mo Zhai reused Lin Cong and handed over many things to Lin Cong. And for the birds, it suddenly became a lot colder.
This made Yu Slippery almost mistakenly think that Mo Zhai had lost trust in him, so he was more or less negative about the Mo family's affairs. But one day today, Mo Zhai said this, and the bird slippery suddenly saw hope.
His heart was warm, and he had mixed feelings, and he opened his lips slightly but couldn't speak.
After saying hello to the soldiers of the Escape God Kingdom who had come to watch the night, the two ghosts came to the foot of the rock pillar. Mo Zhai glanced back at the bird slipper who was following behind him, and said lightly: "So, you have to set off immediately and catch up with Lin Cong secretly spying on him." After the accident in the capital city, I can only trust you now. ”。
"Lord Giant, don't worry, I will definitely live up to my mission. After silently following Mo Zhai for three or five steps, he took a deep breath, opened his lips, and said, "If he Lin Cong is loyal, it's fine, if he is not loyal to you, I will definitely let him and King Kong together, and the ghost head will fall to the ground." ”。
After hearing these words, Mo Zhai suddenly stood still, took a step back, stood shoulder to shoulder with the bird slippery, raised his hand and hugged his shoulder, and silently raised his head to look at the starry sky above his head.
Look at the stars dotted in the sky, arching the slowly rising curved moon, and slowly swaying the soft luster of the body to the earth.
Standing in the Underworld, the sky was so close to him, it really gave him the illusion that he could reach out and pick up the stars and the moon.
With a flick of his fingers, Mo Zhai found that it had been a long time since he had looked up at the starry sky in the underworld like today.
After years of fighting, he never stopped, and he never had the idea of stopping. He is like a non-stop machine, driving the entire Mo family forward step by step.
But at this moment, when he saw the starry sky blinking, and the rising moon was so peaceful and peaceful, he suddenly felt a little tired and tired from the depths of his heart, like a rushing spring water gushing out, and the thought of washing his hands in the golden basin suddenly flashed in his mind at this moment.
"Nope. "A thought starts from the heart, and Mo Zhai is stunned. In a panic, he hurriedly shook his head a few times, secretly drove that thought out of his mind, and at the same time kept saying to himself in his heart: "You can't stop, you must not stop; Either stand on the top of all things, or be trampled under the feet of all things, I will never be a ghost trampled under the feet of other ghosts. ”。
"Lord Giant, are you okay?" Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he obviously felt Mo Zhai's body trembling. But for some reason, it made the other party suddenly nervous.
The fowl's slippery question immediately pulled Mo Zhai back to reality from his stunned state.
"It's fine. He let out a long breath, hurriedly calmed his mind, and said slowly: "Thank you." ”。 It's just that the tone of this sentence seems a little weak.
This is the first time Mo Zhai has said thank you since he came to the underworld. Hearing this, he was shocked, and he was a little shocked, and he couldn't believe his ears, and he was speechless.
Mo Zhai didn't squeak anymore, before he said those two words, he didn't believe that he could say these two words again, and he could still say it so sincerely and naturally, it was so sincere.
It's really unforgiving, even ghosts, but the heart that has been as solid as a rock has also softened a little over the years of fighting. Even after he realized this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, maybe I'm really old!
For a while, Mo Zhai didn't know what to say next, so he had to pat the fowl on the shoulder and walk forward silently with him.
As everyone knows, not far behind them, there is a dark shadow standing in the darkness, which has been hiding its breath, merging with the darkness, silently watching their every move, and every word they say, the black shadow also listens to it very clearly.
After they left, the black shadow suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth and snorted coldly......
Shuoyue Island.
Xiaoyu Mountain City.
In the evening, Xiao Shizhu took advantage of the moment before the palace gate was closed, took Qinglan and King Kong, quietly left the Ghost Mother Palace, and went to Honglu Temple.
When he came to the Honglu Temple, he called Changqin, and the four ghosts went to the city again.
Changqin, who didn't know the reason, followed Xiao Shizhu, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "General Xiao, where are you going to take me?"
"Eat, drink and be merry. Xiao Shizhu smiled slightly and said, "Don't call me a general, just call me Brother Xiao." ”。
As he spoke, several ghosts had already stood in front of a building built on the smooth cliff wall of the mountain halfway up the west side of Xiaoyu Mountain City. The main building is three floors, the eaves are volleyed in the air, the warped corners are raised to the sky, the beams and pillars are painted, the doors and windows are carved, and the momentum is extraordinary with a bit of elegance.
Above the top floor and left and right, there are two floors of exquisite small buildings two or three, stacked and embedded on the cliff, according to the mountain, skillfully borrowing nature, and with the suspended plank road, connected with the main building.
Many guests come in and out of this place, with satisfied smiles on their faces.
In front of the gate under the plaque of the three big characters of "Fengming Courtyard", there is a middle-aged woman standing with flowers and branches, she still has the charm of heavy makeup, and she really waved the silk cloth in her hand, ushering in and out of the guests.
Looking around the female ghost, looking through the open door, but seeing the singing and dancing in the building, all kinds of women wearing thin and transparent dresses, accompanied by the guests laughing and laughing;
"Qinglou?" In surprise, Changqin's face changed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Shizhu with an incredible gaze.
Along the way, he thought that Xiao Shizhu might take him to the theater or eat some special snacks, but he never expected to bring him to the Qinglou.
After all, the underworld is not the world, and ghosts with identities disdain to make peace with these Qinglou women. I think they are lowly and inferior. Therefore, Changqin was not only stunned, but also a little disgusted.
"That's right, isn't this a place where you can eat, drink, and have fun? I'll take you there in a moment. Xiao Shizhu's sharp eyes, looking at his nervous expression, seemed to have seen the disgust in his heart, and smiled disappreciatively: "Don't worry, there is no meat for sale here." ”。
As she was talking, the middle-aged woman at the door, or the old bustard, had noticed Xiao Shizhu standing outside the door, and greeted her with a smile, saying, "Yo, isn't this Brother Xiao? You haven't been here for a long time." ”。
"Am I coming here?" Xiao Shizhu also smiled, and said to the old bustard: "There is a sauna room, and four private rooms are prepared for us when we are finished, and we must be good at wine, food, and good girls, and we must be proficient in blowing, playing, and singing." ”。
"You rest assured, guaranteed*. The bustard grinned and welcomed them in.
Changqin was apprehensive, thinking about what the sauna was all about, and followed Xiao Shizhu to the building. But seeing that the hall in the building was full of high-ranking friends, the girls were all dressed extremely thinly, accompanying the guests in twos and threes, drinking and having fun.
In the atmosphere of laughter, Changqin couldn't help frowning.
Led by the bustard, they walked through the lively lobby to a small door in the depths and handed them over to the turtle prince. Gui Gong slowly opened the small door beside him, but saw that behind him was a secret passage built in the belly of the mountain, bending forward and slowly extending downward. Looking at the posture, it seems that this dark passage leads directly to the bottom of the mountain.
Through the lampstand on the stone wall, you can see that the secret passage is only one zhang wide and one zhang high, but you can't see the end, and you don't know how long it is. There is an arch every zhang on the left and right sides.
Gui Gong took them to the secret passage, and after walking a few feet, he stood still, and opened a stone door with a fan-shaped plaque carved on the head, and the word "Jisi" was engraved on it.
"This is the sauna. Xiao Shizhu laughed.
