Chapter 1 Good skin
In the rivers and lakes, there is a sect called "Ghost Gate", and it is rumored: "Those who hold the edict of the king of Hades can control the life and death of people." It means that the ghost door acts according to orders. This profession specializes in killing people and protecting people's livelihood, no matter who commits it, killing gods when they meet gods, and killing Buddhas when they meet Buddhas. They are not afraid of the imperial court, their whereabouts are secretive, they start neatly, and they do things without leaving clues, and they are called crooked and heretical by the people of the rivers and lakes.
"Live.
Be sure to try to live. ”
Yueli sat up from the bed suddenly, a cold sweat on her face. She had that dream again, and went back to the place where all the nightmares began.
She was the daughter of a priest of the Ji Dynasty. Born with the blood of the immortal clan, mastered the ancient secret arts, since childhood to learn the method of spell forbidden, at the age of six, the Ji Dynasty died, the Ji clan perished. Since then, there have been no more immortals in the world, and there is one more killer in the ghost gate.
"Girl?"
Yueli slowly closed her eyes and responded to the maid standing outside the window: "What's the matter?" ”
"Today's girl's birthday, the son has instructed the kitchen to prepare."
A nightmare, she almost couldn't remember what day it was, and she opened her eyes again to remember. Yes, today, on the sixth day of the sixth month of June: "What about Bai Ying?" ”
"Childe is in the lobby, and the master of the door gathers the disciples in the door to ......"
Yueli frowned: "Summoned?"
"Don't worry, girl, you only came back at the end of the day, and the master of the door told you not to wake up." The voice did not fall.
The moon has risen from the quilt.
In front of the main hall, Bai Ying stepped over the threshold with one foot, met Yueli, and said softly: "My father-in-law ordered me not to tell you to get up, but I didn't expect you to come anyway." It's okay, save me another trip, you come with me. With that, he turned and walked towards the small door in the southwest corner.
Bai Ying, the master of the Ghost Gate, is in charge of the business of the Ghost Gate's tasks. It was her only friend since she was a child.
In the courtyard of Lifeng Hall, Bai Ying sat at the table and skillfully served the tea set: "It is said that you have been away for three months this time, and you only came back this morning, so you should really rest." It's a pity that there are many affairs in the door, and my father-in-law said that if I let you be more leisurely, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public. ”
"What's the mission this time?"
Bai Ying poured a cup of tea, and said without hurrying or slowing: "Someone said that he was going to kill the salt merchant Li Fan Manmen tonight, and he brought his daughter to the ghost gate to make a move, and the righteous father asked you to take a trip with the edict of Yan Luo to ensure that they passed tonight."
"Salt merchant Li Fan?" Yue Li was suspicious, "It is said that the Li Mansion is rich and rivals the country, is it for wealth or revenge?" ”
"I can't say for sure, but one thing is certain." When Bai Ying said this, his face sank slightly, and he handed a cup to Yueli, "The spies sent out earlier came to report that most of the killers who are not from the good and evil factions are dead!"
Yueli was silent for a moment: "Since he is a dead man, the master of the door does not think that the transaction is at a loss, and he still plans to take it?" ”
"The righteous father said: Since the ghost door opens the door to do business, it doesn't matter if he Li Fan can get the money or not, he can kill one person, or a hundred people, no matter who commits it, he will kill God when he meets God, and he will kill Buddha when he meets Buddha."
Hearing this, her eyebrows stretched. This is also in line with the behavior of the door owner, who can still be disgusted with the hot hands of silver.
Bai Ying said again: "The righteous father decided in front of the disciples in the door, and this matter will be handed over to you to do." It's a pity that you're not there, the faces of this crowd are very ugly! ”
Seeing him smiling like a fox, Yue Li squinted: "Is there a good thing you did here?" ”
"These words hurt people, how do you know that you have been in the business for ten years, and so far you have received thirty-six commissions, and there have been no casualties during this period, who can compare with you? Such good deeds are naturally the first to think of you. ”
Hearing this, Yueli was a little dazed, and she didn't remember it. Over the years, working for the ghost gate has made her physically and mentally exhausted, she doesn't like to kill, not at all! The killer of the ghost gate is more like a killing tool, and he can't refuse the task, let alone choose. She doesn't like the feeling of being controlled, and she doesn't want to.
Bai Ying saw that she was in a bad mood, and gradually said, "Yueli, leave for the Li Mansion before dinner." For this night only, as long as you make sure they pass tonight, the rest will be left to someone else to do, and I will go and ask my stepfather for a position on your behalf......"
"Not necessarily! I don't like the things that come from the alms, but I still have half a day to spare, and I want to go out for a walk, and I will come back before dinner, and I don't have to leave food for lunch. With that, she got up and walked towards the door, she knew that Bai Ying was kind.
When she was six years old, the Ji Dynasty was destroyed, and she was the only one left in the family. They were chased and killed, and in desperation, Yu Niang hugged her six-year-old self and jumped off the abyss.
Later, it was the owner of the door who saved her.
At that time, she was only six years old, in order to survive, there was no choice but to worship the ghost gate, she followed them for three months, from summer to autumn, along the way Bai Ying secretly stuffed herself with food, and finally arrived at the ghost gate, but the owner refused to accept it. In desperation, she squatted in front of the ghost gate for half a month, and finally Bai Ying took her hand and led herself into the ghost gate.
Job hunting?
When did she live to the point where she needed to rely on others for charity?
On a June day, the sun was scorching, and Yue Li walked out of the ghost gate and went out on the street alone.
She didn't like a lot of people, and she didn't want to stand under the eaves as a pillar, so she raised her eyes and looked around, and saw a crooked-necked tree in a backyard, which was lush enough to accommodate one person to hide, and it should be good to lie down to escape the heat.
So he did his best and flew into the backyard and jumped into the tree. Among the lush leaves, she saw that the position she was sitting in was facing a window on the second floor opposite, maybe the killer had been doing it for a long time, and she subconsciously felt that this place was easy to observe, and the location was excellent. Then under the half-open window lattice, a figure in green clothes gradually appeared, and when she looked at it, she couldn't help but be stunned, is he?
"There is no empty valley to grow a quiet orchid, and the breeze does not break the dust." It is said that he is the master of the "Liuyun Pavilion" who is in charge of the Qinglou in the world, and he is sent to the elegant name of the dustless son, Jiang Feng. It is rumored that Jiang Gongzi was born with a suitable appearance for men and women, with red lips and white teeth.
When I saw it today, it was rumored that I was not deceived.
Yueli leaned over the trunk of the tree, looked lazy, and looked at the opposite side: "The skin is not bad!" She never lies, and she doesn't know how to tend to be inflammatory, so this evaluation can be regarded as an affirmation of the rumors!
At this moment, Jiang Feng walked under the window and took off his coat, revealing the white middle coat inside.
Well......
Yueli continued to look.
Then, he reached out and unfastened the strap under his armpit, and as his mid-coat gradually came off, revealing his tight muscles and strong chest.
Yueli squinted, and then continued.
A thin hand leaned out from behind Jiang Feng and touched his heart. In an instant, Yue Lifeng's eyes widened: This is what she can see? However, I have to say that she was happy to watch.
The next moment, Jiang Feng raised his arm quietly, waved away the Qianqian's thin hand, and disappeared in front of the window lattice with a flicker.
Yueli could only sigh secretly, with a slightly disappointed look on her face: "I don't understand the amorous feelings." ”
Then he turned over, leaned on the branch behind him, and out of nowhere he took out a palm-sized, brown stoneware potbelly wine bottle, and then poured a sip of wine, looking at the dappled sunlight between the leaves, thoughtful: Dead? The task is simple, just wait for the rabbit.
Here, she lay on the tree and stayed for most of the day. It wasn't until the sun overhead that she was setting to the west that Yue Li glanced at the half of the window lattice, but she still didn't see half a figure, so she jumped down.
Ghost door work, has always paid attention to a "fast", only half a day's effort, she stepped into the door with her front foot, and a maid on the back foot came to inform: Li's family affairs have been done.
Late at night.
On the roof, Yueli was dressed in white and shengxue, sitting there with one hand on her chin, watching and listening to all directions. Just after the ugly hour, more than a dozen masked people in night clothes surrounded the Li Mansion from a distance under the moonlight, and jumped over the wall into the courtyard.
She sat motionless on the roof, and when she saw that many of them had fallen into the courtyard, she stretched out a hand and slowly drew something in mid-air, and then her lips opened slightly, and she ordered softly: "The array of trapped beasts, get up!" ”
"Wow".
Four golden rays of light rose one after another at the four corners of the Li Mansion, protecting the entire three-in, three-out courtyard within an enchantment.
"Two paths, either you leave your life, or I will help you leave your life." Under the moonlight, she couldn't see joy or sorrow on her face, but the words she said were terrifying.
"The people of the ghost gate?!"
"Too much nonsense." Yue Li frowned slightly, raised her hand and waved her sleeves, and the black-clothed people in the entire courtyard fell down thirty percent in an instant, and those people didn't even have time to snort, and they lost their lives on the spot.
She doesn't want to kill!
Those people, on the other hand, saw her as a demonstration. Immediately, three people jumped lightly and flew onto the roof. However, no matter how hard they slashed and slashed, they were always bounced away by an invisible force.
Yue Li sat there as motionless as a bell, watching the movements of the black-clothed people below from afar, until she saw those people suddenly scatter in all directions, holding swords and rushing to the doors of the Li Mansion.
Inside and outside the Li Mansion, there are two formations, the outer one can isolate all the sounds and movements in the Li Mansion, in the eyes of outsiders, the Li Mansion is no different from usual, and the formation set up in front of each person's wing is condensed with her blood and connected to her own life.
If the formation is damaged, she will be counterattacked by the formation!
At this moment, she saw those people rushing towards the wing, and she was just looking for beauty: "Look for death!" With a wave of his hand, the three men were hit hard and fell off the roof. She flew into the air, pinched her hands in front of her, slowly closed her phoenix eyes, and her murderous intent suddenly appeared.
After a while, the surroundings fell silent. She was dressed in white and did not get dirty, standing among the corpses on the ground in the courtyard, which was particularly eye-catching.
She still can't do it in the end, she doesn't want to be the one who takes the lives of others, and in the past ten years, she has relied on the formation to reluctantly force herself to kill the killer. In the first tasks, she almost crawled back to the ghost gate, and every time she made herself half dead, and it was thanks to Bai Yingyi who was untiring in front of the bed that she could escape death again and again.
Later, Yue Li learned to be obedient, and when she saw those people not retreating but advancing, she closed her eyes and heart, and killed a hundred people ruthlessly.
Ghost Gate, the sky is bright, and the night has passed.
Yueli held a brocade box in her hand and came to Lifeng Hall. From a distance, she saw Bai Ying crouching in front of the desk, looking through the account book in her hand.
Hearing the familiar ringtones and footsteps from near to far, Bai Ying didn't raise his head: "I haven't slept all night, why don't you go back and rest first, and hand over a token left and right, don't worry." ”
Yue Li didn't respond, and put the brocade box in her hand in front of the case: "Bai Ying, I'm tired." ”
"It's been ten years, and it's the first time I've heard you shout tired." As soon as the words fell, he seemed to realize something, with a pair of bloodshot eyes, he raised his head and glanced at Yueli, and saw a trace of melancholy and loneliness on her face. Only then did he wrinkle his eyebrows slightly, and walked up to her with a worried expression: "What, the mission failed?" "In the Ghost Gate, there is only one end if the mission fails.
