Little Stone led the two of them through many winding paths, and the ghost town was dark everywhere, and most of the people were in a hurry, covering their faces, and even if they could occasionally see the eyes of a few people, their eyes were full of gloomy ferocity.

Lin Yanxi looked at the marks left by Shen Muzhou along the way and said, "Shall we go to find Xiaoliu and Shen Yu first?" Thou hast left so many marks, and I have not seen them come after us."

Shen Muzhou put away the small knife with the engraved mark and said, "My mark is hidden and not easy to be discovered, maybe they need some time to find it, Xiaoliu has been by my side for many years, I believe in his ability."

Xiao Shi led the way in front, looked back from time to time, thought for a moment and asked, "Lin ..... Yan Xi."

She frowned and stretched out her little white hand, knocked on the back of his head and said, "It's Sister Yan Xi."

Xiaoshi rubbed her forehead, thinking that she was no more than two years older than herself, but she still called her sister honestly.

"Sister Yan Xi, do you know how to spell?"

His bright eyes looked extremely bright in the dark night, and when he looked at Lin Yanxi, his face was full of anticipation and excitement, and a few strands of fresh broken hair on his forehead accompanied the young man's hot heart.

She hooked the corners of her lower lip and raised her eyebrows, "That's nature, I'm a genius talisman."

Seeing Xiao Shi's look of disbelief, she quickly touched Shen Muzhou with her elbow and said, "Yes, yes?"

Shen Muzhou still had a blank face, but nodded very facelessly.

Xiao Shi stopped and turned to look at her, his face was a little red in the candlelight, he rubbed the hem of his clothes uneasily, and it took a long time to muster up the courage to ask, "Sister Yan Xi, I, can I learn talismans from you?"

Lin Yanxi didn't expect him to ask this, but when his eyes looked at her, they were full of cautious expectations, which made her unbearable to break the young man's dream.

She said with some embarrassment: "What the rune needs is the awakening of the bloodline, like my cousin Jiang Cong, he is also a member of the Jiang family, but he can't gather spiritual power to use the rune without awakening the bloodline, and outsiders can't learn it."

Xiao Shi's eyes dimmed, he scratched his head, hung his head and said, "But only by learning the spell can you find Brother Jiang, and you can find the black cloak to avenge my friend."

In fact, Lin Yanxi understood his feelings very well, the helplessness of losing friends and relatives, and the hatred of the black cloak.

She pondered it again and again, "Little Stone, I understand your feelings, the black cloak also killed my mother.....

"If I hadn't gone through this, I might have advised you, like a saint, to let go of your hatred, live well, and don't take risks. But I know too well the hatred that grows in my heart, and I will slaughter them with my own hands to comfort the souls of the dead."

Thinking of her mother's death, her lips trembled, her eyes were a little sour and full of tears, Shen Muzhou felt her emotional changes, and the gaze that fell on her became softer.

What Lin Yanxi said was exactly what Xiao Shi was thinking, he looked at Lin Yanxi and said firmly, "Sister Yanxi. You take me back to the capital, let me follow you, even if I can't become a real talisman master, I can learn to draw talisman paper, Brother Jiang said that as long as you are willing to practice hard, you can draw talismans without blood."

How can drawing talismans be as simple as she thinks, and besides, she herself is still a half-ass, can she teach this child well?

However, it is better to follow her back to the capital than to live on the streets in a ghost town by selling fake talisman paper for a living, and when he returns to the capital, let him learn some crafts to earn a living, and stop doing these tricky and deceitful businesses.

She nodded in agreement, Xiaoshi jumped twice excitedly, and rushed up to hug Lin Yanxi.

"Sister Yan Xi, you agreed! It's really great! You will be my sister from now on!"

Shen Muzhou's long knife was between the two, and his cold eyes stared at the small stone, which made people shudder, and he withdrew his hand in a sneer.

"Keep leading the way." Shen Muzhou said coldly.

The little stone immediately held the candle flame and continued to walk.

Lin Yanxi said dissatisfiedly, "Don't frighten my brother."

Little Stone walked ahead, and when he heard her call her brother, he smiled a little shyly. qδ

Not to mention how happy he is, he finally has relatives again.

All the way

He was asking what the capital was like.

Lin Yanxi replied: "The capital, it is lively and prosperous, the most famous street is called Chang'an Street, there are all kinds of food and entertainment on the street, jugglers, and many long queues to taste a bite of food, there are many caravans in the city to do business, they lead camels and pull a dazzling array of goods, some from the Western Regions and even Dongyang."

"Unlike ghost towns, the capital is bright and stable, you can see everyone's faces on the street, and there are many cute little ladies wandering around the streets."

Listening to her, Xiao Shi seemed to have seen the prosperity of the capital, and he was extremely yearning.

A few people walked up to a magnificently decorated door, which looked more like a restaurant, and a few scantily dressed girls invited guests outside.

Unlike the restaurants in the capital, the entrance gate here is the hall, and then there is a staircase going down.

Xiao Shi explained, "This is Zhihai Tower, from here it looks like there is only one floor, but in fact, there are four floors in total, and it is built below, and I heard that it is the deepest house built under the entire moon shadow."

"The owner of Zhihai Building is a woman, and it is said that there is only one chance to see the landlord once a year, and if you want to see the landlord, you have to give a gift, and this gift can only be seen if you give it to the right owner's mind. There hasn't been anyone who has given the right gift this year."

Lin Yanxi asked, "Then what does she like?" Gouache?"

Xiao Shi shook his head and said, "No one knows what the landlord wants this year, I heard that no one gave the right gift last year, and there were people who gave the right gift the year before last."

Shen Muzhou asked in a deep voice, "What did you send?"

Little Stone touched his nose and thought, "It's like a grape."

"Grapes?" Lin Yanxi repeated it incredibly.

Xiao Shi nodded and said, "Although no one has ever seen the landlord, there is a person named Meng'er in this building, who is the deputy landlord, if you have the opportunity, you can probe her out."

Shen Muzhou's eyes were slightly cold, staring at the door of Zhihai Tower, there were many guests walking inside, a woman standing at the door to pick up guests, met Shen Muzhou's eyes, she had never seen such a noble and handsome man, and immediately threw a wink.

When Lin Yanxi saw it, he turned his eyes smartly and said, "I have a way! Little Stone, you wait for us here first, it's inconvenient to take you with us if we have to inquire about something."

Xiao Shi knew that the identity of the man next to her was extraordinary, and he definitely didn't know what Hailou inquired about.

"Okay, Sister Yan Xi, I'll go and arrange the orphans in the town first, and then go back to the capital with you."

Lin Yanxi nodded, walked forward with Shen Muzhou, one after the other.

Xiao Shi stopped her uneasily, "Sister Yan Xi."

Lin Yanxi looked back at him.

Xiao Shi clenched his fists, and asked cautiously with a bit of fragility in his eyes, "Sister Yan Xi, will you really take me back to the capital?"

It turned out to be for this, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take you to Chang'an Street to play when I return to the capital."

Xiao Shi's restless and nervous expression relaxed, and his eyes were clear, "A word is a certainty!"

---

The two walked to the front of Zhihai Tower, and Lin Yanxi grabbed Shen Muzhou and said, "Wait."

Shen Muzhou was a head taller than her, he looked down at her, Lin Yanxi pulled him aside, "Have you seen those women treat you like this or that?"

He wondered, "Where?"

She blinked at him exaggeratedly, following the woman's appearance.

"You squinted?"

Lin Yanxi was speechless and said, "What, they are flattering at you, don't you see?"

He still didn't have any expression, and the corners of his mouth straightened, "No."

She pursed her lips and said, "Several people have thrown you flattery, but you haven't seen it." It's okay, I mean, look at the Nine Princes~"

He looked at her with a little more vigilance, and said, "Every time you call me the Ninth Prince, it's not a good thing."

Careful thinking was exposed, she smiled awkwardly: "The Nine Princes have not long been out of sight when they say this, I mean you see that you are born handsome

, it's better to use this good skin to go in for a while and set up those little ladies' words first."

She reached out and stroked his collar as she spoke, in the dim light, her ten fingers were slender, white and tender like jade shoots, climbing up to his collar little by little, her apricot eyes were cunning, as bright as autumn water, seductive and unconscious, making people throb every minute.

Shen Muzhou knew that she was full of bad water and didn't have a serious idea, but he was still fascinated, didn't push her away, and let her come nonsense.

In the next second, a large piece of his shirt was ripped open, and his beautiful collarbone was exposed in the air.

It was the first time that his face was so hot, and he looked around, but fortunately no one noticed them, so he quickly pulled up his clothes, frowned a little panicked, and said, "Nonsense."

Lin Yanxi didn't understand why he was angry, "Nine Princes, don't you know that Se Ling Zhi is faint? What a great opportunity this is, you only need to sell a little bit of hue and set the rules, and we can get the whereabouts of the Zhenshan Knife and find the jade talisman."

He said with a straight face: "This king is a dignified prince, you asked me to sell my hue to seduce those dusty women?"

Seeing that he was angry, Lin Yanxi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "What about the wind and dust women, they are not born inferior. But well, if you don't want to, forget it.

"I've heard that there are male pets in there, too, why don't I come?"

As she spoke, she pulled out her hairpin and tightened her clothes around her waist.

The beautiful hair flutters in the wind like a waterfall, a pair of bright eyes under the slender willow eyebrows are seductive, the nose and lips are beautiful, the pink cheeks are delicate and soft, and the clothes that are originally loose and not show the figure are close to the back waist, revealing the woman's slender and upright body.

His eyes suddenly became gloomy and frightening, and the two words that almost grinded out of his teeth: "You dare!"

Lin Yanxi tilted his head, looking at him with clear eyes, obviously puzzled, but he felt very seductive.

There is no help.

He angrily turned around and took down her hairpin from the backyard and tied her long hair back up.

Lin Yanxi said helplessly: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say?"

The murderous aura in his eyes flashed, and he roared in a low voice, "Then kill them!"

She recalled the day he stood on the high platform and killed the black gold father, and his body was full of cruelty, maybe he was the real him.

"Killing is not the only way to solve the problem, everyone in this building is innocent, if you kill them, what about the people in the world, if they don't obey you, will you kill them all?"

Just like slaughtering a city in a previous life?

She hated the prince so much, and in order to pull him down, she did not hesitate to ally with Shen Muzhou, but would Shen Muzhou really be a Ming Jun?

Shen Muzhou didn't speak with a cold face, staring at Lin Yanxi's slightly angry little face, and gradually calmed down.

After a while, he lowered his eyes awkwardly, stared at the placket of his shirt for a while, and stiffly opened a tempting slit in the neckline, as if he could glimpse the hard and strong chest from the slit, which aroused reverie.
