Xiao Hongyu suddenly noticed Li Yan's eyes looking at her, and immediately pursed her lips and smiled: "The slave family is rude in eating, so Li Ye can see the joke......"

Li Yan smiled faintly: "It's okay." See. Wool, Chinese net"

They continued on their way, and a pawn who had previously lit a lantern filled the vacancy. The men were desensitized to see the tragic death of a companion and to be unresponsive.

Li Yan suddenly noticed that a hole had been cut in the back of their pants, revealing their bulbous tails.

Li Yan asked, "Little Hongyu girl, who are these palanquin drivers?"

Xiao Hongyu said: "They are called 'rabbit slaves'." As the name suggests, they are all made by hares in the mountains. They built huts and fodder, and they did chores for them. These guys are stupid, but they are obedient, and my master has always liked them?"

Li Yan asked, "What happened to that one just now?"

Xiao Hongyu said: "As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there are many rabbits. It is inevitable that some people will be born with smarter brains and are unwilling to work hard.

As soon as this 'rabbit slave' is discovered, it must be disposed of immediately. Otherwise, if it kidnaps other rabbits and escapes, it will be difficult. ”

Li Jian thought that these rabbits were all coolies every day, and they would inevitably be made into dishes after old age and weakness, so he was really a little pitiful, and sighed unconsciously.

The small sedan chair swayed, turned a mountain beam, and suddenly heard the faint sound of silk and bamboo orchestra in the distance. Xiao Hongyu said happily: "Master Li, we are going to arrive soon." ”

Li Yan lifted the curtain and looked over, only to see a treasure tower standing proudly under the moon.

But seeing that this building is more than 100 feet high, the lights in the building are bright, and the singing is accompanied by the fragrance of wine, which is very abrupt in this desolate White Crane Mountain.

At this time, several horns sounded on both sides of the road, and dozens of maidservants spread a brocade blanket from the tower to the front of the sedan chair.

Xiao Hongyu bowed down and said, "Master Li, please!" Li Yan walked down without saying a word, and the maidservants sprinkled the petals prepared in advance on his head.

Entering the building, it is even more carved beams and paintings, and it is brilliant.

Wave after wave of singers and dancers passed by Li Yan, like fairies in the clouds. In the center of the rotunda is a huge golden hibiscus, and countless tassels hang down next to it, like a heavenly palace.

Circle after circle, there are all box-like rooms, and there are hundreds of them. From time to time, there are laughter and laughter inside, and it is not difficult to see that the seats are full of friends.

A vermilion staircase spiraled down from the top of the building and hung down in front of Li Yan.

Xiao Hongyu said: "Master Li, please come with the slave family, the master is waiting for you on the top floor." ”

Li Yan climbed the stairs, but after a long time, he still did not see the roof. The building was much taller than it looked from the outside, and the laughter on each floor was mixed into a wave of sound that floated through the tall building.

Li Yan only cared about walking up, almost forgetting why he was here.

Suddenly, he suddenly felt something strange in his heart. It seems that a pair of eyes are looking at him with a distress gaze. He immediately stopped and searched around. But there was no sky above, no ground below, and the hall on the ground floor had turned into a black spot, surrounded by countless rooms, and he didn't know where to start.

So Li Jian closed his eyes and hugged Yuan Shouyi.

As the saying goes, the five colors make people blind, and if you see too much, you will become blind. He simply didn't look with his eyes, but looked for it with his heart.

There seemed to be a flame in the darkness, and Li Yan opened his eyes and looked at it urgently, his gaze fixed on the front of a palm-sized room. See. Wool, Chinese net

For some reason, I forgot to close the door to this room.

Through the half-flickering sliding door, he vaguely saw the people inside. In addition to the bewitching dancing girl, it was a man and a woman and a girl of five or six years old, and there seemed to be a dog lying on her stomach at the small table.

The child sat facing Li Yan, and it was she who sent a signal for help.

Li Yan was about to take a closer look, but a rabbit slave appeared out of nowhere and slammed the sliding door shut.

Xiao Hongyu also said suddenly: "Isn't Master Li tired? How about the slave ask a few servants to carry you upstairs?"

Li Yan shook his head: "No need. "Then go on.

He pretended to be casual on his face, but in his heart he secretly thought about those people just now, and always felt that he had seen them somewhere.

Especially the girl's clear eyes, absolutely déjà vu. But when I think about it carefully, I am at a loss, and my memory is interrupted.

At this time, I suddenly heard the bells and drums above my head, and before I knew it, the top floor had arrived. But I saw that the eight gates were opened together, releasing thousands of rays of light and thousands of colors.

It has long been unclear whether the well-dressed guests are human or immortal, or whether they are spirits or monsters.

Next to a dozen huge leather drums, tigers waved drumsticks and beat hard; Luan Feng wore a long shirt and played Huang Zhong Da Lu. The wild deer plays the harp, the white ape plays the flute, and the strange and bizarre images are in full view.

The guests are all genus elves and monsters, but there is not a single human being.

They all bowed their heads and said, "Li Ye is invited!" or "Look up for a long time!"

Li Yan thought to himself, I haven't seen any of these monsters, how can they all be familiar with me?

At this time, a person suddenly said loudly: "Cao Mengde said: 'I have a guest, drumming and blowing sheng. 'When there is a clanging sound in the sound of the piano, it must be a visit from a nobleman. It turned out that Brother Li had arrived!"

Li Yan looked at it, and in front of him was a feather warrior in a Taoist robe, with fluttering hair, like a fairy.

So he bowed down and said, "Dao Ye is serious. Li has been poor since he was a child, and he is not a nobleman. You really dare not take such a big show to greet me. ”

The priest and the guests laughed.

The Taoist took two steps and pulled up Li Yan's sleeve and said, "Brother Li has forgotten all the things in the past. In the past, where can we get you?

Li Yan only felt confused, thinking to himself where had I seen these people in the past? But it was the warmth that was difficult to refuse, so he could only sit down first.

At this moment, a monster with a dragon head and a human body shouted, "Feast!" and the dishes were brought to the table like flowing water.

Li Yan sat closest to the Taoist and asked, "Daoist, dare to ask if you are the 'Linqiong Taoist Priest' who wrote to me?"

The Taoist nodded: "It is the poor Dao." ”

Li Yan asked again: "Then please ask the Taoist to help me find Miyuki, I would be grateful!"

The Taoist rolled his eyes and said, "Don't be busy, drink first!" It is not difficult to see the meaning of procrastination.

Although Li Yan was in a hurry, after all, he was well-informed, and thought to himself that you could run anyway, and the monk couldn't run the temple. No matter which one you sing, I will sing it with you to the end. Let's see what we can do in the end.

At this time, the Taoist priest picked up a glass of wine and said in a loud voice: "Fellow Daoists, today is the fifteenth day of the seventh month, commonly known as the 'Ghost Festival'. But we who are cultivators know that this is a false rumor. The real origin is that the Buddha of the West Heaven came to repay the great kindness of the parents of the seventh generation, feasting on all kinds of immortals, and called it 'Obon'!"

When the immortals heard this, they nodded one after another.

Li said in his heart, it turns out that there is such a saying on Halloween, but I have never heard of it.

The Taoist priest continued: "If the Buddha and the Emperor God feasted in the thirty-three heavens, the contemptible people did not have the courage to set up a small banquet in the world to entertain you. ”

The guests raised their glasses: "Thank you host, may the host have a long life and good health!"

The Taoist priest smiled, put his hand to the side and said, "Poor Dao is fortunate to invite this Li Ye today, as for who he is, I think you should know better than me." This first glass of wine, I propose that we respect Master Li together. ”

The guests unanimously said, "Please drink first!"

Li Yan couldn't refuse, so he could only drink the wine. This wine was extremely strong, as if a thin line of fire burned from his chest to his belly, just this glass made him feel slightly drunk.

Then, the Taoist pointed to the seven guests in the east and introduced Li Remnant: "Master Li, these seven are Jiaomu Jiao, Kang Jinlong, Di Tu Raccoon, Fang Ri Rabbit, Xinyue Fox, Tailed Fire Tiger, Jishui Leopard, ......"

Li Yan had talked to Miyuki about astrological signs, and these names were very familiar, so he asked, "But the Seven Nights of the East?"

The Taoist smiled: "It is the star lord of the Seven Nights. ”

He introduced the past one by one, and among the twenty-eight nights, only one person in the south was absent. Li Yan remembered the name of the star and asked, "Why didn't the ghost blood sheep come?"

When everyone heard this, their faces immediately changed, and they looked extremely embarrassed.

The Taoist forced a smile and said: "That guy betrayed the big guy, the crime is unforgivable, don't mention him." ”

Everyone also looked at him left and right, and covered the conversation in a panic.

During the banquet, the cups were pushed and changed, and the chips were staggered, so it was not lively.

After drinking and feasting for a long time, Li Yan suddenly caught a glimpse of a small moon phase instrument beside him. If you don't look at it, he was surprised. It turned out that after eating and drinking for a long time, less than half a moment had passed.

It turns out that there seems to be some kind of magic in this Xiaoyao Building, which can make time very slow. Therefore, a night of drinking is worth ten days of ordinary life, and it is no wonder that it is in the name of leisure.

Li Chan has never liked to drink too much. He looked at the ridiculous appearance of the guests, and couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust in his heart, so he got up and said, "Master Dao, it's convenient for you to go down." ”

The Taoist priest smiled: "Li Ye is the most distinguished guest in my Xiaoyao Building, no matter where you go, please take care of yourself!"

Li Yan thanked him and walked out of the room.

There was no cloudy smell of alcohol outside, which lifted his spirits. He looked over the railing, and there were people coming in and out of every room.

He suddenly realized that this "Xiaoyao Building" was a hotel where immortals and spirits were having fun, and the "Linqiong Taoist" was the owner of the hotel. Since it was a feast, they all came here to meet together.

It's just that I don't know why this Linqiong Taoist priest has repeatedly betrayed himself, but he has been slow to tell Miyuki's whereabouts? There is also a child who asks him for help halfway, she is not like a spirit, who is she, and why is she here? Besides, it is the ghost blood sheep that the stars are so secretive, why is it the only one absent from the twenty-eight nights?

There seemed to be some kind of mysterious connection in these events, but it was impossible to clarify for a while, which made Li Yan upset.

At this moment, a withered arm suddenly grabbed Li Yan's sleeve, and an old voice shouted: "It's you, it's you!

Li Yan was startled, and when he looked back, it turned out to be an old man. There were only two dark holes left in the eye sockets, and the eyes had long since been dug out.

Li Yan was shocked: "Who are you? Let go, I don't know you!"

The old man smiled bitterly: "Good boy, you don't know me, but I know you!

This old man was as weak as a dry corpse, and it was as easy as Li Yan to push him away. But suddenly he saw that the thin face was full of indescribable grief and indignation, so he softened his heart and said: "Old man, this is the first time we have met, have you recognized the wrong person?"

The old man's ten fingers were like hooks, almost digging into the flesh on Li Zhi's arm, and he said hatefully: "It won't be wrong, I will recognize you even if you are burned to ashes." You...... You're the monster with the Heavenly Destiny Personality!"

Li Yan sighed and said, "I don't understand what you said at all. I do have the word 'disabled' in my name, but just because I'm disabled, I don't have anything to do with my life. ”

The old man suddenly laughed sadly: "I understand, you don't know yet...... Haha, you don't know anything!"

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask, but suddenly saw the maidservant Xiao Hongyu come over and support the old man and said, "Grandpa, you are confused again......"

The old man shouted violently, "Don't touch me, I'm very sober this time!"

Xiao Hongyu was so frightened that she withdrew her hand and said aggrievedly: "Grandpa...... What are you doing here......"

The old man said sharply: "Girl, there is no place for you to speak here, you step aside!"

He sniffed at Li Yan and asked, "Your surname is Zhang?"

Li Yan shook his head: "No, the kid's surname is Li." ”

"Then you should always know Zhang Xiaoqing, right?"

Li Yan nodded gloomily: "Others say that he is my biological father." ”

The old man laughed: "Sure enough, it's true! I can't imagine that I have waited for decades, and the opportunity for revenge has finally arrived!"

Li Yan hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind to ask, "Is there anything that has offended you......, old man?"

The old man waved his hand: "Although this matter started because of you, I can't complain about you after all, I just said a few angry words." In the final analysis, it is those people who are too yin......

Alas...... It's really sad that I have practiced for thousands of years in vain, and I have become a wasted person in one day. ”

Li Yan saw it clearly, if the old man hadn't lost his eyeballs, he was afraid that he would have cried in an instant.

I only heard the old man continue: "You just said that your surname is Li, and there is a word 'disabled' in your name, are there any other words?"

"No more. The old man nodded, put his hand into his sleeve, as if he was pinching something, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "It's really a fool to be a fool, a name is broken by mistake......"

But after he finished speaking, he shook his head, "But the real fate is by no means calculated by this small skill of carving insects." Boy, it's true that your father is Zhang Xiaoqing, but do you know who your mother is?"

Li was shocked: "Old man...... Do you have news of my mother? Is she still alive?"

The old man smiled coldly: "Of course I know. Where in the world is there anything that I, the 'Nine Spirits True Monarch,' don't know! More than 20 years ago, if others had not been prepared to pay a lot of money, how could they see me? Who was talking to me without trembling and walking on thin ice?

It's a pity, it's all gone, and I'm just a poor old fellow now......"
