For the magic weapon of the cultivation realm, in fact, Ye Que does not have too urgent needs, but tonight's little demon fox reminded Ye Que that the demon world should have begun to invade the world, and now everyone may not pay much attention to it, but the time left for him will definitely not be too long.

For improving his realm, Ye Que has a plan, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and some elixirs or materials still need some opportunities to find, if there is a ready-made auction, then it is not bad to take a look.

Seeing that Ye Que was a little moved, Qian Shuxiao hurriedly said, "Sir, don't worry, as long as it is something you like, don't bother with it, I will definitely take a picture of it for you and offer it with both hands." In this Luoyang City, if you compare financial resources, our Qian family has never been afraid of anyone. ”

"If you can meet something you like, I owe you a favor. Ye Que said in a deep voice.

"Don't dare, you can accompany me, it's already a great favor. Qian Shuxiao smiled and the corners of his mouth bloomed.

If you want to say that Qian Shuxiao, as the only grandson of the Qian family in Luoyang, you don't have to be so low to make friends with people, but the Qian family is a businessman, and the descendants of the Qian family in the past generations have a pair of discerning eyes and know how to look at people, who is worth befriending, what people are worth making deep friends, and what people are worth spending a lot of money on. People are the most worthy of investment, and the reason why the Qian family can come to this day is because there are always noble people to help.

Qian Shuxiao was shocked by his skills when he saw Ye Que for the first time, not to mention that even his own life was saved by Ye Que, in his opinion, Ye Que should be the noble person in his life.

As for the four young Luoyang people, they are just friends with wine and meat, they can be sweet together, but they can't share hardships.

didn't bother with Han Yu and the others, Qian Shuxiao directly led Ye Que out of the Peony Building.

Soon, when the time came to midnight, the entire Luoyang City gradually entered a state of drowsiness, the excitement of the night market slowly dispersed, and the diners in the lobby on the first floor of the Peony Building were almost gone. At this time, the boss was calculating the day's income with an abacus, and the little second-hand feet were doing the finishing work neatly, and as for the guests on the second and third floors, they were already asleep.

The kitchen of the Peony Building is behind the lobby, there is a cottage on the left hand side of the kitchen, and the ground floor of the cottage is a wine cellar, which stores high-vintage wines that are not often sold on weekdays, and the wine cellar is kept full all year round. In the past few days, there have been several circuses from the Western Regions in the Luoyang Night Market, so there are a lot of diners in the Peony Building, and the consumption of high-vintage wine is also more powerful than usual, and tonight is the day to replenish the stock.

Zhang Xiaojiu is the nephew of the owner of the Peony Building, so it is naturally not the turn of others to buy and replenish goods like this, touching the bulging money bag on his waist, Zhang Xiaojiu hummed a little song, and walked to the wine cellar with the last jar of aged Du Kang.

Holding the wine jar with one hand and the wooden ladder with the other, Zhang Xiaojiu walked a familiar way, only three or four meters high, and he could walk into the wine cellar in the blink of an eye, and after a long time of replenishment, he would not be tripped even if his eyes were closed.

"You don't have to mention the dragon and phoenix, you don't have to talk about marriage, your appearance has penetrated into my heart. After receiving the offering of the winery, Zhang Xiaojiu was in a very good mood, humming a little song with great interest. The cellar is not small, but he is the only one, and the natural reverberation of the sound is excellent.

"Whoa. ”

"Who?"

Zhang Xiaojiu shouted uncertainly, just now he vaguely seemed to hear some movement in the depths of the wine cellar.

"Whoa. ”

As soon as I finished shouting, I heard two more sounds, as if something was rubbing against the ground.

A trace of cold sweat came out of Zhang Xiaojiu's palm, after all, it was midnight, and in this black underground wine cellar, if there was really an accident, there would be no place to cry. Subconsciously took out a fire hyacinth, Zhang Xiaojiu blew a few breaths in a trembling manner, and soon the firelight illuminated the entire wine cellar.

Raising his head, squinting his eyes and looking carefully, there was nothing else in the entire wine cellar except hundreds of jars of fine wine, Zhang Xiaojiu let out a sigh, patted his chest, and wiped the sweat in his palms, people are scary and can scare people to death.

"Next time, I will definitely not restock at night, this place is too infiltrating. Zhang Xiaojiu muttered a sentence and put Du Kang in his hand on the drunk driver next to him, turned around and walked back, he was a little scared now, and he didn't want to stay here for a moment.

"Buddha bless, Buddha bless. Zhang Xiaojiu was still chanting words in his mouth as he walked.

But the moment he turned around, in the shadow of a wine jar, a blood-red snake hyacinth, and then a green snake head, suddenly appeared. That is, with a breath, the green shadow crawled towards Zhang Xiaojiu in a zigzag shape, and when he raised his legs to climb up the wooden ladder, the snake head under his feet just showed four white fangs.

"What is it?" Zhang Xiaojiu only felt that his ankle hurt, and a sore and numb feeling began to hit him violently, and he raised the fire hyacinth in his hand to look at his feet. As Hyacinth swept behind him, Zhang Xiaojiu's eyes widened, and he showed an expression of extreme fear, he swore that he had never seen such a terrifying picture in his life.

The jars surrounding the cellar are densely packed with snakes, black, cyan, green, and countless colors.

On the walls of the cellar deeper, a pitch-black shadow was cast on the firelight, like a human being.

A scream rang from the underground cellar.

However, the cottage where the wine cellar was located was a little far away from the lobby of the Peony Building, and there was no one in the kitchen at this time, so no one heard Zhang Xiaojiu's last cry for help.

Time flies, less than a quarter of an hour.

In a guest room on the second floor, a white and fat merchant was lying on the bed snoring, and from time to time he muttered a few words in his sleep, perhaps because the fat merchant was afraid of the heat, and did not put down the roller shutters on the bed. His room happened to be on the sunny side, and by the moonlight, he saw slender shadows slowly approaching the bed, and as if he had a position, he climbed straight up to the belly of the fat merchant, and then opened his fangs together.

At the same time, a woman on the third floor who came to visit relatives was also surrounded by snakes, and a teenager who came to Luoyang to make a living around the corner was also poisoned. It was a scholar from Qingzhou Mansion, who came to Luoyang to participate in the imperial examination, did not sleep at night, and was still studying hard, but happened to witness the whole process of being besieged by snakes. Although he was not asleep and the person was awake, he only lasted a few more seconds, how could a scholar who was powerless defeat the snakes.

"San'er, was there a sound just now?" The boss of the Peony Building was settling the accounts, and suddenly raised his head and asked the guy.

"It seems to be from the third floor. The guy called San'er replied uncertainly.

"It's really unlucky, this night, there is no stop, first the son surnamed Qian, and then the young master surnamed Han, what's the matter now, are there any other distinguished guests on the third floor?" The boss rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache, "San'er, you go up and take a look, let them rest early if they are fine, don't look for trouble, this is Luoyang, there is a king's law, there are rules." ”

"Come on, boss, I'll go. San'er replied sharply and walked up to the second floor.

walked up to the second floor slowly, but in the blink of an eye, he jumped down in a hurry, and shouted in horror as he ran, "Old, boss, snake, snake." ”

"Snakes, where are snakes, is a snake so fussed, just find a guy to get out, look at your little bit of interest!" the boss reprimanded.

"No, not one. San'er gestured his fingers, and he couldn't say anything, you must know that he is the second junior in the lobby, and he works with one mouth, "Old, boss, you, behind you." ”

"Dangdang. ”

"It's dry, watch out for the candles. ”

On the west side of Changsheng Bridge, on Yong'an Street, the old man who played the watch passed by the Peony Building slowly, thinking about the pot of wine he drank before night, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Qian Mansion is not on Yong'an Street, located in the north of the Vermilion Bird Street, ten into the house, hundreds of rooms, although the area is not as spacious as the hometown, but this is Luoyang, every inch of land is gold. It is said that this mansion was the residence of a prince in the previous dynasty, and it was bought by the Qian family for a lot of money after the change of dynasty.

Qian Shuxiao's six large sedan chairs turned around and walked for a long time before stopping in front of a tree-lined garden.

"Young master, I'm home. ”

After getting off the sedan chair, Qian Shuxiao pointed to a room in front of him, "Sir, this room is the best place in my home, with a hundred fish pond in the back and a green bamboo forest in front, and it is only 100 meters away from my room." Quiet and elegant, green trees and red flowers, you see if you are still satisfied, if you are not satisfied, I will find you a place. ”

Ye Que looked in the direction that Qian Shuxiao pointed to, crossed a path paved with gravel, and then passed through a small bamboo forest, and at the end was a red-roofed and blue-tiled hut, "You can live anywhere, I don't have too high requirements for these things, as long as it's not too noisy, you look at the arrangement." ”

"Then Mr. Wronged, please here. Qian Shu smiled and led the way, "By the way, I don't know what to call you all along?"

"Ye is missing. ”

"It is better to lack than to be lacking. ”

"Good name. ”

"Do businessmen like to pat on the back so much?"

"There's no such thing as a sycophant, your name is really good. Qian Shuxiao scratched his hair in embarrassment, if this wasn't a sycophant, even he didn't believe it.

At this moment, it is already approaching the second half of the night, and many houses in the Qian Mansion have turned off the lights and rested, except for some maids who need to be on night duty. But the strange thing is that everyone walked a few steps, only to see that on the north side of the green bamboo forest, there was still a room with bright lights at this time, looking at the size of the structure, it was obviously not the residence of the next person.

Qian Shuxiao's ability to observe words and colors is indeed good, and he explained after a glance, "This room was originally empty, but recently my sister somehow had to move over, and she was obsessed with writing and painting here, sometimes a painting is a night, unbelievable." ”

"Did your sister paint before?" Ye Que asked casually.

"Although my sister's name is Qian Shushu, she never touches the pen. ”

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Ye Que subconsciously looked at the brightly lit room, and saw the silhouette of a short-haired woman by the window, seeing that she was painting. The main door of the house was open, and there were two little maids standing on the left and right of the door, both of whom were already sleepy and began to doze off, and there was a painting hanging on the wall of the door, in which the landscape was blurred and the clouds were shrouded.

From a distance, it is full of meaning, and if you look closely, the cloud looks like a fierce beast that can eat people in a trance, and the cloud is the bloody mouth.
