This night, the ghost gate in the dark night, the only two courtyards in the south and the north, no one slept, everyone had their own thoughts, and lit the lamps and candles until dawn.

I don't know how long it took, Yue Li suddenly woke up from her dream, as soon as she looked up, the sky was already shining, the candle in front of her candlestick was almost burned out, the bean candle flame was about to be extinguished at any time, and the disciples in the front yard faintly floated outside the window talking with the footsteps.

At this moment, the maid Taohong walked under the window, subconsciously looked into the window, and saw her sitting under the window thoughtfully, so she asked curiously: "Huh? The girl is still sitting here, today the son set off to the Feng Dynasty, the slave passed by the front yard an hour ago, and saw that the carriage and horses had been loaded, this son may be about to go out of the city, you and the son grew up together, not to send it? ”

Hearing this, Yue Li suddenly came back to her senses, removed her arm to reveal that she was pressed under her, lying quietly on the table with a letter, quickly stood up, grabbed the talisman with her hand, opened the door and rushed out: "Peach, you come with me!" ”

Peach held the basin of water in her hand, and after such a tug, she threw the basin with the water, making a loud noise on the ground, and she was blown away by the wind with an exclamation, and before she could see the face clearly, she was dragged all the way away.

Half an hour later.

Yueli pulled the panting, breathless peach, and landed on the top of Qiyun Mountain, looking at the foot of the mountain from afar.

At this time, Taohong finally stood still, gasped for breath twice, raised her hand and pointed to the three carriages that were traveling in turn below, and panted: "Childe...... Childe is in this car. After speaking, she sat on the ground, waved her hand and said, "Girl, girl, you go by yourself, the slave is not done, rest...... Take a break. ”

Yueli lowered her eyes and looked at her side, and said quietly: "I brought you here to ask you to do something for me, and then rest when you finish it!" ”

Peach was stunned, raised her face and looked at it puzzled: "Huh? ”

Without waiting for her to respond, Yue Li reached out and scooped the person from the ground and stuffed the letter to her: "Give it to Gongzi and tell him to dispose of it himself." As soon as the words fell, he couldn't help but push the person down the mountain.

Falling from a high altitude, Peach instantly broke out in a cold sweat, so she had to carefully perform light skills and chase after the carriage in front of her.

Bai Ying was sitting in the carriage in front of her head with her eyes closed, when she heard the neighing of the horse, the car stopped, and slowly opened her bloodshot eyes, looking tired.

When the black-clothed guard saw the ghost maid dressed up, he shouted, "Presumptuous! Do you dare to stop Childe's car? ”

Taohong knelt down in front of the car, held the letter high above the top in her hand, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Slave Lingfeng Yuan Taohong, dare to stop the son's carriage and horses, and on the order of the girl, I want the slave to hand over this letter to you personally." ”

Hearing the words "Ling Fengyuan", Bai Ying's heart jumped, and she looked out of the car through the door curtain, and saw the peach-colored figure kneeling there, and was silent for a moment and said, "You come close." ”

Taohong got up at this time, walked to the carriage window, raised her hand to hand over the letter, and then saw a slender white hand, leaning out of the window, with distinct knuckles, round and clean nails, and then revealing Bai Ying's half-tired face, and quickly lowered her eyes and did not dare to look again.

Bai Ying took the letter, opened it and slowly took out the contents of it, and saw a cyan rune paper in front of her, and couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, with surprise and worry in her eyes.

She stayed awake all night, and despite her injuries, she remade talismans for him overnight?

Outside the window, Peach's voice came again, and her tone was unhurried: "The girl also said that since this letter has been given to the son, it is up to you to dispose of it." ”

Every word, pronounced neither lightly nor heavily, but he heard his heart ache with sourness, followed by bitterness in his mouth but unspeakable, remembering the scene last night when she tore the talisman with her own hands, and his stomach was full of mixed tastes.

Dispose of it yourself?

Bai Ying closed her eyes, exhausted. Could it be that he wanted him to tear it up with his own hands and trample her hard work again?

Yueli ......

When he opened his eyes again, he was not in a hurry in his hand, carefully stuffed the talisman back back, and asked softly, "She sent you here?" ”

Peach raised her eyes and looked towards the window, only to see a white figure swaying in the gap in the curtain, lowered her head again, and said admittedly: "Yes, does the son have anything to bring back to the slave and maid, or do you have something to say?" ”

"You tell her that there is an old wine buried under the tree in the Wind Garden, but unfortunately I can't take it away in a hurry this time, and it will be a good day in two days, so you let her dig it out for me. Leave! ”

Peach replied "yes", and took two steps back backwards: "The slave and maid send the son." ”

Immediately afterwards, the wheels of the carriage moved slowly, crushing up a cloud of dust, and swaying towards the distance.

Back to the Ghost Gate.

Yueli came to the empty Tingfeng Garden alone, and the three of them were thick sycamores, with lush branches. She came to the tree with a familiar car, squatted there and hesitated for a moment, reached out to pick up a branch and started to dig down more than a foot deep, and her hand suddenly encountered an obstacle and got her hand.

She hesitated, then started digging faster, and soon a palm-sized, pot-bellied terracotta wine jar appeared in the soil, and she looked deeply at the wine jar and fell into memory.

Ten years ago, after she entered the ghost gate and lived in this Tingfeng Garden, Bai Ying buried it in front of her.

She remembered that there were six altars.

Yueli stretched out her hand and took out a wine jar from the soil, and saw that the altar was pasted with a piece of red paper, and the three big characters "Daughter Red" were written on it.

In October of that year, Bai Ying was only ten years old, like a little adult, and said to her: After entering the ghost gate, this is her home, since he led her into the ghost gate, he naturally had to take on the responsibility of the elder brother, and later said that the eldest brother was the father, and he actually learned from ordinary people, and prepared the daughter red for Yueli to marry early.

The moisture in Yueli's eyes gradually rose.

He is only ten years old, how can he know what to marry, and how can he know what his daughter is red? It's just a fool to ask all the disciples of the Ghost Sect, asking those who have daughters or young sisters, how do they raise girls at home, and what do they need to do?

This whole forest was gathered together, and several pieces of paper were written freely, and she hit it squarely.

Now it seems that those rather ridiculous actions made her lonely and helpless heart a lot more stable back then. He is real, treats her with sincerity and affection, is considerate of every detail, and thinks about her.

Yueli backhanded and refilled the excavated soil, leaving only the jar of wine that was taken out.

Two days later.

The disciples of the Ghost Gate were summoned and gathered in the main hall of the Ghost Gate.

Bai Qing, the master of the door, sat in front of the hall, his eyes stopped in one place, and he opened his mouth and called: "Yueli! ”

Hearing this, the disciples turned their heads to look behind them.

Yueli listened to the call, stepped forward, knelt down on one knee behind everyone, neither humble nor arrogant: "The subordinates are here." ”

Bai Qing said: "How long have you been in the ghost gate?" ”

Yueli: "Exactly ten years! ”

Bai Qing let out a "hmm" and nodded secretly: "Not bad!" Ten years ago, it was also this golden autumn October, and Bai Ying personally led you into the ghost gate that day. In the past ten years, you have done an excellent job, and you will no longer have to stand there and come forward. He waved with his palms facing up.

Seeing this, Yue Li hesitated for a moment, and responded: "Thank you, Lord Men." With that, he stood up and walked to the front of the crowd.

Bai Qing seemed to have a smile on his face, and beckoned again: "Go forward!" ”

As soon as the words fell, it was like throwing a cannon battle on the spot, and the lobby suddenly became lively.

Before that, it means standing in the next position in the hall, where Bai Ying was originally standing, he is a disciple, and now she is an unknown killer, standing in Bai Ying's position, and some people are not convinced.

"Door Master! It's not in order. ”

The moon lowered her eyes, and her heart came just right.

Bai Qing was faintly displeased: "Rules? It's the rule in the ghost gate! Are you questioning this seat? ”

In the crowd, I don't know who shouted: "Lu'an!" The master of the door is here, how can you be presumptuous! ”

Yue Li frowned, she knew that what she was talking about behind must have been deliberately arranged by Bai Qing, so she waited for someone to jump out to disrupt the situation. She has always been alone in the ghost gate, except for Bai Ying, who never deals with others, so there will never be someone who jumps out for her at this time.

Everyone's side eyes: Is this going to fight?

Yueli lowered her eyes and was silent.

Lu An was unconvinced, with resentment in his eyes: "Dare to ask the sect master, among the disciples of the ghost sect over the years, is there one who has not done his best?" ”

Bai Qing said again: "No! ”

"In that case, why is she the only one who takes the bail, but she doesn't care about killing?!" As soon as the words fell, Lu'an raised his hand and pointed directly at Yueli, and said loudly.

Everyone looked at each other and whispered: Let's be killers, which one is not day and night, coming and going in the wind and rain, and making a living licking blood at the tip of a knife, why does she do it so well? Just take the insurance or not the kill?

In the end, they all nodded their heads, deeply agreed.

Yue Li took a deep breath and spit it out, and sighed secretly: Time flies so fast.

"That's a good question! Lu'an, Yueli has been in the business for ten years, and has received thirty-eight commissions so far, and there has been no casualty during the period, can you compare with her?! The man said again.

In the main hall, everyone was stunned, awakened by this word, and turned their heads to look at the back standing in the shadow alone, thin as a gust of wind that can blow away, how could they not connect her with those words in their minds, is it her?

Thirty-eight pieces, no death is the duty, no injury, it is up to the ability. After all, three days ago, there was a living example of a failed task that exhausted the client!

Lu'an was anxious: "Even so, the master of the door ......"

Bai Qing raised his hand, stopped the rest of his words, and said, "Enough!" Cold eyes swept over everyone, although they did not speak, but the gaze was fierce, and snorted coldly, "Do you think it's easy to kill people, or it's easy to protect people, huh?" ”。

Gradually, the chatter stopped.

Yueli raised her eyes and looked at Bai Qing again, her expression was complicated: Is the door master deliberately attracting public anger for himself this time? As a killer, she had no right to pick and choose tasks, so she never thought about this problem when she received the Yama Edict.

Killing, if the skills are not as good as people, they have a life to go back without a life, so they usually kill people by surprise, do it quietly, and complete the task.

Receiving insurance is different, it is risking your life, and it may not ensure that the employer is in danger.

What's more, in the past ten years, she has not suffered any casualties during the mission, and in the entire ghost gate, she can't find a second one with a lantern.

Yueli closed her eyes.

For ten years, she has lived cautiously on thin ice, and she is just alive, although she did not take the initiative to kill anyone, but she also had blood on her hands in order to protect people, but she didn't even have the right to refuse.

Lu'an hurriedly said: "Door master! Yueli's last task, although she completed it well, but she lost my ghost gate Yama Luo edict, according to the rules, you must bring back the token to complete the task, otherwise you will not be able to complete the task, could it be that the main door is to make an exception for her? ”

Hearing the sound, Bai Qing looked sideways at Yueli with a calm face.

At the same time, Yue Li also happened to raise her eyes to look at Bai Qing, and saw that there was a little exploration and playfulness in his eyes, and a little gloomy, and suddenly his heart was clear: this was his original intention: to kill people with a knife!

For a while, the crowd that had just quieted down turned their heads and ears again.

I don't know who it was, but shouted in the crowd: "Enforce the law!" With a sound, everyone shouted after the mountain.

Yue Li turned around and looked at everyone's faces one by one, seeing the eyes of those people waiting to see the excitement, or the look of falling into the well, or being carried away with the crowd and shouting, she couldn't help but laugh coldly: "With you, you are also worthy of making me obey?" ”
