An hour later.

He Yao rowed a small boat and appeared on the ghost lake.

A full moon hung high in the night sky, the bright moonlight could not penetrate the boundless mist, it was faint and cold in all directions, and the sound of the wind passing across the water was like a ghost crying.

A blue lantern hung in the bow of the boat, faintly illuminating the scene within three feet, the oars rowed across the lake, the ripples fainted, and occasionally dense black shadows passed under the water, like the miserable white faces of dead people.

He Yao muttered, "No wonder no one comes here to see the scenery, it's gloomy, no wonder it's called Ghost Lake......"

The fog is too thick, and in the haze, there seem to be magnificent temples and Buddhist temples floating on the lake, and there are beautiful orchids singing and dancing enthusiastically, luring the people on the boat to go out of their way to find out.

It's a mirage.

He Yao was not bewitched, and rowed the boat through the fog easily and landed on the ghost island.

As far as the eye can see, the lights are continuous, and the poverty and luxury are extremely desired.

The buildings and palaces are lined up one after another, the sheng songs are noisy and prosperous, and the orchid beauties can be seen in the distance, and they are dancing enthusiastically in the Goolan wine shop, attracting visitors to linger.

The people wandering in the streets are all dressed in strange costumes, criminals and alien people with tattoos on their faces can be seen everywhere, dwarfs, old men, young children, monks abound, and there are also mysterious nobles who ride in sedan chairs and drift away in a trance, all kinds of weird, like a hundred ghosts walking at night.

Two drunks beat each other in the street, one of them brutally cut off the other's head, the onlookers not only did not stop it, but also clapped and applauded, and there were even perverted and savage people, picking up the head and sipping the blood, which made people disgusting.

He Yao nimbly avoided the wine jar that had been smashed down from upstairs.

Sister said a lot, the ghost place of Mantou Cave should not exist.

When He Yao was looking for a pawnshop, a figure landed on the eaves of the street at the same time.

Yuan Yu held a piece of grass, his forehead was slightly curled, and his goose yellow hair band was tied up in a high ponytail, and he looked at the highest pavilion in Mantou Cave with great ambition.

At the top of the pavilion, there is a huge jewel.

He smiled and pressed the bamboo hat.

He came tonight for the orb.

……

Half an hour later.

"Seize the wealth of the four seas and be greedy for the wealth of Kyushu."

He Yao finally found the pawnshop and read out the pair engraved on the peach charm in front of the door.

He Yao pushed the door in, "Shopkeeper." ”

There were no other customers in the pawnshop, and there was a white-haired old man standing alone behind the counter, the old man was rickety, his snow-white beard fell to his chest, and when he raised his head, he smiled strangely, like a mouse in a strange story.

Seeing He Yao entering the door, he looked up and down for a moment, then turned around and went into the room and took out two red bean drinks, "The little lady looked at the noodles, this is the first time to come to the Mantou Cave, right?" Abo, please drink red beans. ”

He Yao tilted his head.

Grandfather said that most of the people outside have ghosts in their hearts, and a beautiful little lady like her can't just drink the tea handed by the strange uncle.

She took advantage of the old man's inattention, secretly changed two red bean drinks, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I'm not here to pawn things, I'm here to find a night pearl, there is such a big ......"

She gestured.

Although the little lady wears a green ghost mask, her words and deeds are innocent, like a delicate girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, and she is easy to deceive at first glance.

The old man took a sip of red bean drink, and his smile was even more weird, "There are too many night pearls in my shop, I don't know which one the little lady is looking for?" Sit and drink, and Abel will find you. ”

He peeked at He Yao while rummaging through the cabinets, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that she really drank the red bean drink.

A bald head of age licked his lips salivating at the flower-like little lady, stood up unabashedly, and counted towards He Yao, "Three, two-"

He Yao's apricot eyes were clear and bright, "One? ”

"Bang!"

The old man fell to the ground.

When he woke up, he had been tied to the chair by He Yao.

The whole pawnshop was turned into a mess, and the little lady who looked very deceitful stood in front of the chair with a bright white pearl of the night, smiling delicately and brightly.

He Yao said softly and weakly: "Abel is not good at business, but he plays black and eats black with me...... Fortunately, I am a gentle and graceful lady, otherwise, I would really want to burn down your pawnshop. ”

The old man was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were about to split, how could he still be kind just now.

He scolded, "Little slut, I actually capsized in the gutter and fell into your way-"

"Who are you scolding slut?!" He Yao picked up a handful of iron ruyi on the counter and stabbed it into his mouth viciously, "Did I let you speak?!" ”

Old man: "......"

It was as if several of his teeth were broken.

After He Yao finished the murder, he said pitifully: "People are patrolled by Tiansi, and they came here tonight to recover this pearl of the night." Uncle, do you know who the thief who stole the beads is? ”

"Woohoo woo woo ......"

The old man grinned in pain, couldn't speak at all, and even blood flowed from his mouth.

"If you stuff something in your mouth, can't you speak?" He Yao was very concerned, "I have always respected the old and loved the young, so I will pull out Tie Ruyi for you, but you are not allowed to talk nonsense." ”

She pulled out Tie Ruyi, and the old man spat out a mouthful of blood and a few teeth in embarrassment.

He was pinched by the uncertain little lady in front of him, and he had to consider himself unlucky.

He replied honestly, "That thief is very skilled, not only did he take a thousand taels of silver, but he also stole another four thousand taels from the old man. With his old knowledge, Luo Jing has not been such a powerful thief, I am afraid that he is the famous Liangzhou thief. I heard from the people in the church that he seemed to have come to Luojing. ”

He Yao was stunned, the Liangzhou thief came to Luojing?

Stealing Wei Jiuqing's Night Pearl?

He's worth a million taels of snowflake silver!

She secretly remembered the news and was about to leave when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

He Yao let go of the old man and motioned for him to receive the guests.

The door of the pawnshop was pushed open, and a young man shook his folding fan and stepped into the threshold, "I heard that the pawnshop in Mantou Cave can buy and sell everything in the world, I don't know if it's true or not?" ”

He Yao hid behind the counter and looked quietly, Lang Jun who entered the door was dressed in white Shengxue, wearing a pure gold openwork mask, only revealing thin red lips, and smiling like a spring breeze.

It's Wei Jiuqing......

This man likes to wear white clothes, and she knows everything that turns to ashes.

He has always boasted of being elegant and elegant, how could he come to a place like Mantou Cave?

The old man coughed, "What do you want to buy and sell?" ”

Wei Jiuqing sat down in his robe, "There is a woman in Luojing, who is stubborn and presumptuous, pesters me all day long, and after I refuse, she fabricates rumors to ruin my reputation. I wanted a slow poison that would make people mad, colorless and tasteless, and that could be put in her diet every day. ”

He Yao clenched her fists, the "woman" in Wei Jiuqing's mouth is her, right?

poisoned her, let her gradually become a fool in the eyes of everyone, and if she talked to other little ladies about Wei Jiuqing's dirty affairs in the future, no one would believe her.

Wei Jiuqing is so ruthless!

The old man couldn't help but glance at He Yao, "This medicine ...... Do I have, or don't? ”

Wei Jiuqing was displeased, "Is there any, you don't know yourself?" ”

He Yao casually took out a packet of jelly beans from his arms and motioned for the old man to hand it to Wei Jiuqing.

Wei Jiuqing got jelly beans, played with them for a while, and said with a smile: "It's worthy of a steamed bun cave, you can really buy anything." Look at the colorful pills, they must be extremely poisonous. Boss, how much does this pack of medicine cost? ”

"Well," said the old man, pretending to be deep, "this thing is rare, and it costs two thousand taels of silver." ”
