When I returned to the Taiji Building, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, the sun was setting, the lights were on, the night had come, and the Taiji Building had entered the mode of night business.

Shen Qingjiu arranged for Shao Siyu and Bai Ruyu to live in the empty room next to her own room upstairs, and the little fox arranged for her to live in her own room temporarily, which was only the size of a small pillow when it was coiled up, and she could sleep peacefully all night by giving it a cushion.

In the lobby downstairs, a lamp was lit, a stick of incense was inserted, and two glasses of wine were poured, and then Shen Qingjiu sat down behind the counter, and until twelve o'clock in the evening, she would sit here to receive guests who came to the door at night.

After opening a bottle of soda, Shen Qingjiu took a sip, and began to open the book "Secrets of Mountains and Seas" that he got back from the nine-tailed fox, however, just like in the fox fairy cave, now that he reads this book, it is still all blank, nothing, Shen Qingjiu frowned, and said to himself: "The descendants of the Qingqiu fox have been found, according to reason, there should be a little fox, but why is she not on it?" ”

"Because, there is no awakening yet."

The cold voice is like the frost of winter.

Shen Qingjiu shivered excitedly, looked up, and saw Shao Siyu, flattened his mouth, and said, "Why don't you walk without a sound." ”

Shao Siyu stood there with one hand on his back, like a piece of wood, looked at her with both eyes, and said, "You were too attentive, so you didn't hear my voice." ”

Looking at a taciturn, but very good at "quibbling", Shen Qingjiu silently complained in his heart, and then asked: "Awakening, what do you mean?" ”

Shao Siyu explained: "Mountains and seas, when the heavens and the earth first opened, existed in the heavens and the earth, and their descendants were born later, the innate ability given by the heavens and the earth was imprisoned in their bodies, and when the heavens and places were right and the people had at the same time, this ability would be awakened, and only when their abilities were awakened, could they be used for you and help you remedy the disaster." ”

To put it simply, it is not only necessary to find the heirs of the alien beasts of the mountains and seas, but also to raise them, wait for them to awaken, and after awakening, they can do what Shao Siyu said they had to accomplish as the heirs of the Shen family.

At this moment, Shen Qingjiu felt that her head was a little big, she was only a high school student, she was only sixteen years old, and she was still underage, this kind of work to protect the people in the world, can you find an adult to do it, such as ...... Oh, no, for example, the Shen family is grandma except for herself, grandma is already in her eighties, between an eighty-year-old man and a teenage high school student, probably, no one will choose an eighty-year-old man.

Shen Qingjiu shrugged his head dejectedly.

"But ......"

Shao Siyu changed his words and said, "Ruyu and I will help you, so you don't have to be afraid." ”

"Help?"

Shen Qingjiu looked up at him, she felt that this Shao Siyu in front of her was still very reliable, as for that white as jade...... Shen Qingjiu looked up at the door of the closed room upstairs, after she came back, after Shen Qingjiu arranged her room, she planted her head on the bed, and it didn't take more than three seconds to fall asleep.

Shao Siyu said: "Her physique is relatively special, and at night, she is easy to fall asleep, so don't pay attention to it." ”

Sleepiness is sleepiness, but it doesn't need to be said to be so refreshing.

Shen Qingjiu frowned slightly, and asked curiously: "Shao Siyu, aren't you curious about this society, it should be completely different from the society you live in, how do you look like you are very adaptable." ”

Shao Siyu's eyes turned around in the lobby on the first floor, this is actually a very ordinary hotel lobby, all the arrangements are the same as ordinary hotels, but on the counter, what is placed on the counter is not a beckoning cat or a golden toad, but an ancient table clock, ticking and ticking, indicating the time, and on the other side there is a stick of incense, two wines, a turbid wine, and a sake, which are quietly placed there.

After reading it, Shao Siyu spoke: "Before Ruyu and I fell into a deep sleep, the master once said that when we wake up, the world will undergo earth-shaking changes, what we know and what we have seen will become different, don't feel strange, don't avoid it, just need to accept, understand, and then adapt." ”

This old ancestor was quite prescient.

Shen Qingjiu blinked his eyes and asked again, "That...... Can I ask one more question? ”

Shao Siyu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Shen Qingjiu's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Why are you called Shao Siyu, this sounds like a girl's name." ”

"Hmm-"

Shao Siyu didn't answer her question immediately, when she asked this question, Shao Siyu's face, which seemed to be carved out of stone, had a subtle change in expression, and her white face also showed a slight red, the expression was a little embarrassed and a little shy, and after a while, he said: "It's a sad story, you have a guest coming." ”

After saying this, Shao Siyu did not stop at the front desk, he turned and walked up the stairs, with some heavy steps, and went upstairs, while at the same time, the door of the hotel opened, and a woman walked into the lobby of the hotel with a little boy.

Since there are guests coming, then, you have to work seriously, Shen Qingjiu withdrew his gaze from Shao Siyu's body, faced the guests who entered the hotel, and said with a smile: "Welcome." ”

The woman was dressed in a white dress, her face was full of sadness, her brows were furrowed, and one of her hands was holding the little boy tightly, as if the child would disappear as soon as she let go, and the two of them came to the front of the counter, and the woman said, "Hello, I want a room." ”

Shen Qingjiu put the two glasses of wine in front of the woman, as if reciting lines, and said: "There are two glasses of wine in the hall, one is turbid wine and one is sake, please taste the wine." ”

The woman did not let go of the little boy's hand, but put down the luggage in her other hand, and then, she took the glass of cloudy wine, took a deep breath, tilted her head and drank it all, and as she drank, her brow furrowed even tighter, and her mouth tightened.

Probably a person who can't drink alcohol, can't stand the spicy taste of this wine, and doesn't know why the ancestor would set such strange rules for Taijilou.

Seeing that she finished drinking, Shen Qingjiu asked, "I don't know how it tastes?" ”

"Bitter."

The woman put down her glass, picked up her luggage again, and said the same thing.

Shen Qingjiu immediately spoke aloud: "First floor, Qingming." ”

As she spoke, she had already taken a large set of keys left by her grandmother in her hand, and the keys collided, making a clanging sound, and Shen Qingjiu walked out from behind the counter quickly and said, "Please follow me." “

The woman took the little boy's hand and followed Shen Qingjiu into the corridor next to her, and walked inside until she reached the end of the corridor, and stopped in front of the door of the last room.

Shen Qingjiu pulled out one of the large strings of keys, and then opened the door, when he opened the door, he only felt a fresh smell like earth after rain wafting into his nose, but this smell did not make people feel happy, but gave people a bleak feeling.

These two people look very sad and sad, is it too cruel to let them live in this room, at a certain moment, Shen Qingjiu wanted to change the room for the two of them, however, the rules left by the ancestors, after drinking, they set a room, and they could not change it, this is the choice of Taijilou.

Shen Qingjiu hardened his heart and said: "This is your guest room, remember, after twelve o'clock in the night, you are not allowed to go out of the room, I wish you a happy stay." ”

The woman nodded at Shen Qingjiu, indicating that she already knew the rules of Taijilou.

After closing the door, Shen Qingjiu returned to the front desk and sat down, waiting for the next guest to check into the hotel.

After the Taiji Building at night, in fact, there will be few guests to come, people, are acting during the day, and the most action at night is the demon hunter, but the Taiji Building can not catch demons.

"I hope I don't come back tonight."

Shen Qingjiu clasped her hands together and prayed silently, she didn't want to fight with Yue again, not to mention, she really couldn't beat him.

At this time, a childish voice sounded: "Sister, sister." ”

This voice inexplicably reminded Shen Qingjiu of when she used to watch ghost movies, and the sound of singing illogical nursery rhymes in a childish children's voice at the end of the film scared her into a spirit, and when she turned her head to look over, she saw the little boy who had just come in with the woman, the little boy's face was too white, as if he had been coated with a layer of flour, he looked at Shen Qingjiu with a pair of overly large eyes, and called again: "Sister." ”

Shen Qingjiu raised his hand and patted his chest, put his heart back into his stomach, let out a long breath, and said, "Little brother, do you need my sister's help with anything?" ”

The little boy blinked and said, "Sister, do you have a mouse, I need one." ”

It was the first time that Shen Qingjiu had encountered a guest who wanted a mouse, but she could not meet the little boy's request.

Shen Qingjiu shook his head and said, "There are no rats in the Taiji Building. ”

The little boy did not get what he wanted, and the expression on his face was very sad, and his mouth was bent downward, and he was about to cry, saying, "Then I will be hungry." ”

"Hungry?"

Shen Qingjiu's eyes widened and said, "There are food and drinks in the hotel, and there are ready-made ones in the guest rooms, so you just need to heat it up in the microwave, so you won't be hungry." ”

Because Tai Chi Lou does not provide food at night, so if guests want to eat, they can only solve it in their own rooms, and the hotel also provides guests with food for their stomachs.

The little boy raised his arm up, and Shen Qingjiu saw him carrying something covered with a black cloth, and he tiptoed to put the thing on the counter, and then lifted the black cloth and said, "It's not that I'm hungry, it's that he's hungry." ”

Under the black cloth is a glass box, but at this time lying in the glass box is a small cyan snake, the small snake coiled its body, not spit out a red letter, a pair of golden eyes after the black cloth was lifted, directly to Shen Qingjiu's eyes.

As if in an instant, Shen Qingjiu entered a wonderful world, she saw a cyan shadow burst out of the glass box, transformed in mid-air, it was a cyan giant dragon, circling its body, to fill the entire Taiji Building, the dragon's head was facing Shen Qingjiu, two long whiskers fluttering, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a sound that shook the sky!
