"There are two wines in the hall, one cloudy wine and one sake sake, and the guests are invited to taste the wine."

Shen Qingjiu stood anxiously behind the counter, tiptoe on the ground, put two glasses of wine on the counter, and after saying this to the visitor, his eyes glanced at the ancient table clock placed aside, the pendulum swayed back and forth regularly, making a ticking sound, the time has been directed to eleven fifty-five minutes in the evening, and in another five minutes, it will be midnight, and after midnight, there will be no guests.

The visitor was a tall and thin man, dressed in black, wearing a long brown cloak that was fastened with a silver button, wearing a peaked cap with a long brim, almost covering his entire face, and hearing Shen Qingjiu's words, he stretched out a hand wearing black leather gloves, took off the cup of turbid wine, and then drank it in one gulp without the slightest hesitation.

Shen Qingjiu noticed that his lips were white, without a trace of blood, and he looked seriously ill, and the string of peach-colored beads on the hand wearing black leather gloves, the texture of the circle on it showed that this peachwood string was made of peach wood that had been some years old, all of which made Shen Qingjiu curious in his heart, and when he saw him drink the wine, he asked, "Excuse me, what does it taste like?" ”

"Hmmm......"

The man groaned, and every minute and second of his thinking was like a year for Shen Qingjiu, especially in the quiet atmosphere, the ticking of the table clock was even louder, making time become short, and every sound was a reminder to Shen Qingjiu that midnight was approaching.

Fortunately, the man gave the answer in time: "The taste of pear blossoms." ”

"First floor, sting, please follow me!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Shen Qingjiu immediately walked out from behind the counter, holding a long list of keys in his hand, and walked quickly towards the corridor leading to the guest room.

The guest glanced at the clock on the counter before he could catch up with her, and the time pointed to eleven fifty-eight minutes, with two minutes to go.

Shen Qingjiu quickly opened the door and made a final explanation: "Check-in means to abide by the rules of the hotel, after twelve o'clock in the evening and before six o'clock in the morning, you can not leave the room, otherwise you will bear the consequences, I wish you a pleasant stay." ”

After her words were finished, the man had already walked into the room, Shen Qingjiu quickly closed the door, raised his hand and hung a small silver bell on the hook outside the door, and then, with a run, came to the front desk, closed the door of the hotel, took out a very thick red candle from under the counter, lit the candle, put it on the counter, poured two wines, one sake, and one turbid wine, and placed them side by side in front of the candles.

Syllable!

Shen Qingjiu clasped his hands together, slapped his face, and muttered in his mouth: "After the time has passed, no one will be admitted, and guests passing by can go to the silent door." ”

After saying this, Shen Qingjiu turned off the lights at the front desk, and looked at the table clock on the counter by the dim candlelight, and the time had already pointed to eleven fifty-nine minutes and fifty seconds.

Ten seconds left.

Shen Qingjiu calculated the time in his heart, and without stopping for a moment, he ran up to the third floor with a "bang", and before the midnight bell rang, he closed the door of the room, blocking the darkness and the midnight bell from the door.

After closing the door, she still felt uneasy, put her ear to the door, and listened carefully to the movement outside, the door was quiet outside, and the bell on the first floor could not be heard on the third floor.

After listening for a minute, until he confirmed that there was no sound that should not appear, Shen Qingjiu took his ears back, let out a long breath, and muttered to himself: "After the time has passed, you must not go out, I hope you can spend the next few days peacefully...... Yes! ”

Before she finished speaking, all of a sudden, the bell rang loudly, as if the bells of the entire hotel were shaking violently, and the bell entered Shen Qingjiu's ears one after another, shattering her eardrums.

Shen Qingjiu didn't dare to delay, hurriedly ran to the bedside table, opened the drawer, grabbed a crystal bracelet from it, put it on his hand, and held a black and white umbrella standing by the wall in his hand, the next second, she had already pushed the door out, stepped over the railing outside the corridor, jumped down, and shouted: "The time has passed, no noise in the Taiji Building, and it will not disperse quickly!" ”

The black and white umbrella was opened, and it was the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, the handle of the umbrella was held in the girl's hand, the edge of the umbrella was slowly raised, and Shen Qingjiu's immature and beautiful face was revealed, and his bright eyes scanned the surroundings.

A snow-white little fox, huddled under the counter in a ball, trembling and not daring to move, from time to time a pair of round red eyes would flash, and then disappear in an instant, turning into a snow ball.

On the other side, standing was a few minutes ago, the guest who stayed in shock, the cap was still on his head, and he already had a peachwood long sword in his hand, on the sword body, engraved with the word "moon", looking up along the hilt of the sword, on his wrist, in the middle of the black tassel embellished on the peach-colored bracelet, a small log card was revealed, and there was also a word engraved on it, the word "month".

Shen Qingjiu showed a surprised look on his face and said, "You are a demon hunter, Yue?!" ”

The man looked up, revealing a face beneath the cap, a handsome and unusually pale countenance, his eyes amber in the candlelight.

"What beautiful eyes."

Shen Qingjiu couldn't help but admire.

The corners of the man's lips raised slightly, revealing a smile, and said, "Since you know who I am, then, you should know my duties, in the world, humans and demons do not coexist." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the "snow ball" huddled on the counter looked more like a snow ball.

Shen Qingjiu glanced at it, and then looked at the counter, one of the two glasses of wine was empty, and the rest was a glass of turbid wine.

After reading it, Shen Qingjiu put away the umbrella in his hand, held the handle of the umbrella in his hand, looked at the moon with his eyes, and said: "If you enter the Taiji Building, you are a guest of the Taiji Building, you must abide by the rules of the Taiji Building, within the Taiji Building, all living beings are equal, and the demon catcher, please go back to the room to rest, this will be your last night in the Taiji Building." ”

Yue held the sword in his hand, his wrist turned, and the tip of the peach wood sword fell between Shen Qingjiu's eyes, and he said, "What do you mean?" ”

Shen Qingjiu calmly, met his gaze, and said, "It means that you have broken the rules of Taiji Tower, and from now on, you will not be qualified to live in Taiji Tower again." ”

"Uh-huh——!"

Yue Shen groaned, suddenly sneered, and said: "Little girl, you are still too young to be in the company of demons, I will give you a chance, don't care about today's affairs, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword!" ”

Shen Qingjiu didn't avoid it, just stood in the middle of the "snowball" of Yuetong, put his hands on the handle of the umbrella, and said: "The time has passed, and no one can come out, please go back to the room to rest." ”

"Toast and don't eat and drink!"

The peachwood long sword was withdrawn, the moon drew a circle with both hands, and two flames flashed on the fingertips, and in an instant, the entire hall was illuminated as if it were day, and then, with a wave of the demon hunter's long arm, the two flames, as if they had two eyes, rushed towards Shen Qingjiu.

"Yikes!"

The "snowball" behind him let out an exclamation and rushed out from under the counter, taking the road and fleeing, and the direction of its escape was the rear of the hotel.

Seeing this, Shen Qingjiu hurriedly shouted, "Don't go there...... Yes! ”

She only cared about summoning the little fox, and she didn't have time to block the moon's attack, so she was hit on the shoulder and was knocked out in an instant, but this also allowed her to chase the little fox.

"Don't run!"

The demon hunter followed.

The little fox slammed open the back door of the hotel, jumped over the high wall, and ran into the grass behind it.

When Shen Qingjiu saw it, he was even more anxious, and shouted loudly: "Don't go there!" ”

After saying that, she also jumped over the high wall, and when she landed, the pain in her shoulder came, causing her to lose her center of gravity in mid-air and fall heavily to the ground, making her "oops" in pain.

And before she could stand up, the moon had already landed gracefully and jumped up again, chasing into the wild grass.

This is a barren place, a place that no one has visited all year round, and it is also the forbidden place of Taiji Tower.

Shen Qingjiu saw that one person and one demon ran in, endured the pain in his shoulder, and gritted his teeth and chased after him.

Under the cold moonlight, the little fox retreated step by step, and the demon hunter Moon was pressing step by step, the peach wood sword in his hand, in the moonlight, was like a ring ruler, and on the tip of the sword, there was a yellow paper talisman, only to see the moon's hand waved lightly on the paper talisman, and the yellow paper talisman ignited the flames, and his wrist shook, and he said: "Go!" ”

The flames flew like arrows off the string, and they flew towards the little fox at a rapid pace.

"Don't!"

At the moment of crisis, Shen Qingjiu arrived in time, jumped up, and the black and white umbrella in his palm was instantly opened, blocking the flame from the black and white umbrella, however, the flame rose rapidly along the umbrella bone, and in the blink of an eye, the whole umbrella was as hot as a soldering iron.

Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and her hands exerted pressure, forcing Shen Qingjiu to retreat step by step, and said in his mouth: "You are not my opponent, give up now, I won't care about you, otherwise, your fate will be the same as that demon." ”

The scorching flame kept rising, but this flame did not ignite the wild grass around it, but just kept exerting pressure and oppressing Shen Qingjiu.

Under the huge pressure, Shen Qingjiu was still struggling to support, gritting his teeth and saying: "Impossible, I won't give up, Taijilou didn't give up, if you want to give up, you also give up, as a demon hunter, don't you know the rules on the road, if you break the rules, you will have no place to stay!" ”

"Then let's go to hell together!"

Yue raised his arm high, and in the palm of his hand, a flame ignited in the center of gravity, a crimson flame, and the target of this flame would be Shen Qingjiu under the black and white umbrella.

However, just as the flames fell, all of a sudden, the heavens and the earth shook, as if there was an earthquake, and the ground cracked, and Shen Qingjiu watched the crack separate from his feet, and his whole body fell into the darkness......
