Chapter Twenty-Eight: Los Angeles

Dong Junqin knelt for a long time and didn't get up until the rain outside stopped.

The guy at the inn passed by the door of the house and saw a stall of black water and wanted to preach. But the people in the room were not good-looking, and he shut his mouth knowingly.

Dong Junqin lost some silver, took his master's sword and robe, and walked back to the outskirts of the town silently.

Ah Lu asked worriedly, "Dong Junqin, do you want to go back to Tianqing?"

Dong Junqin shook his head: "Go directly to the ghost market." ”

This is what the master wished before his death.

Maybe Dong Junqin obeyed the teacher's order when he was out of school, and the Xuanqing Immortal was dead, maybe there were too many incomprehensible things that happened before and after this accident. In short, rather than grief and grief, Dong Junqin's stronger desire in his heart is to know the truth.

As for the Azure Realm, after Dong Junqin wrapped the long sword and robe, he cast a spell to summon a blue bird, grabbed the burden and went in the direction of the blue sky.

When the elders receive these things, they will naturally understand.

At this time, Ah Lu thought in his heart: It was about the death of the master that hit Dong Junqin too hard, and he was full of resentment. Originally, it took seven or eight hours for the Imperial Sword Formation to reach Luozhou, but at this moment, they were in Luozhou City in only two hours.

Ah Lu had never seen him look so serious: "Dong Junqin, I thought about it for a long time just now, and I really can't think of who wants to kill me." ”

Dong Junqin said lightly: "I know, it's none of your business." ”

Although the first time I saw the shadow killer was in Qianxi Village, Dong Junqin in Tianluo Town realized that his target this time was not only Ah Lu, but also Xuanqing Immortals.

Dong Junqin thought about it, there was no connection between Ah Lu and the Xuanqing Immortals, the only thing they had in common was that they knew Dong Junqin, and they knew some "insiders" of the Azure Realm.

The person behind the scenes, is it the Azure Realm? Is it the imperial court?

Neither, it seems.

If it was the Azure Realm, the one who should be killed most at this moment was Dong Junqin, who knew everything. But he fought with the killer twice, and found that he had no intention of him.

If it is the imperial court, it will be even more unspeakable. The court can't wait for the sky to catch the handle of Qingjing and tell the world, how can it kill people and destroy their mouths?

Thinking about the origin of the whole thing again, the master said in the camel mountain that after he and Bai Yuan entered the Azure Pavilion, they did not find any suspicious traces. Later, Bai Yuan entered the hidden room, and he was in the outer room.

This person, who was suspected by Elder Qingyin of being an internal ghost, was able to force the Bai Yuan Immortal to a violent death, and he was able to abolish one of the master's arms, and his identity was not discovered...... Dong Junqin wanted to suspect that it was an internal ghost, and it was more logical to mix in the strong enemy lurking in the Azure Realm.

He wrote these suspicions separately in a letter to Mu Jifeng, and sent them when he arrived in Luozhou. From Changyu to Camel Mountain, there are too many suspicious points, even if you want to investigate, you can only secretly investigate, and it is not appropriate to publicize it.

As for Luozhou, Dong Junqin really didn't expect that Luozhou, the most prosperous and snowy city in the Central Plains, would have an entrance to the ghost market.

Seeing that his expression softened a lot, Ah Lu opened his mouth to explain: "There are many living people, so there are also many dead people. And the more people there are, the more yang energy, and it doesn't matter if you are sucked by a ghost occasionally. ”

Dong Junqin was embarrassed: "What kind of crooked reasoning is this?"

Alu stuck out his tongue: "Crooked reasoning is also reasonable." That's the reality. ”

Dong Junqin shook his head, not wanting to dwell on this: "Then how are we going to enter the ghost market?"

Ah Lu raised his hand and pointed: "Go to the store in front first." ”

When the two arrived at the door of the store, it was a coffin shop.

At the door of the shop sat a chubby old man, napping, as if none of the people who came and went on the street had anything to do with him.

Ah Lu stood in front of the boss and whispered, "Boss!

The old man opened one eye, and Dong Junqin saw that the eyeball was white.

Ah Lu said: "Boss, I'll buy something." ”

The old man's hoarse voice pointed to the house: "Which one you like, it will be shipped in three days." ”

Ah Lu shook his head: "It's not these. ”

The old man continued: "Customize the coffin, add ten taels, and ship it in five days." ”

Ah Lu leaned down and whispered in the old man's ear: "I'm not here to buy a coffin, I'm here to buy corpse oil." ”

Although her voice was soft, Dong Junqin still heard it. He suddenly remembered that Ah Lu had said that he would find something for him to cover his popularity, could it be this corpse oil?

What is corpse oil, Dong Junqin naturally knows that although most of the corpse oil is extracted from dead animals, and it is said to be something mysterious by black businessmen, but Dong Junqin knows that there is indeed real human corpse oil in the black market.

It's nothing, corpse oil does have a lot of uses in some ways. Is it just necessary to use it on him?

The old man heard Ah Lu mention the corpse oil, and his other glasses also opened: "How can the girl talk nonsense at such a young age." ”

Then he took a chair back to the house and closed the door.

Ah Lu was not in a hurry, and stood at the door for a while and said, "Let's go, let's walk around before dark." ”

Dong Junqin wondered: "Don't buy it?"

Aluri smiled slyly and motioned for him to sit down.

The two found a teahouse, facing a flower building that had not yet opened.

Ah Lu said: "Don't worry, the corpse oil is very expensive, and I won't ask you to drink it or put it on you." ”

Dong Junqin was embarrassed: "Thank you." But how do you know there's corpse oil in the coffin shop, and why does the old man look weird?"

Ah Lu said in a low voice: "You haven't been to Luozhou, so you naturally don't know. You see, there are a lot of brothels here. If there are more shops like this, what will follow more?

When Dong Junqin heard this, he felt uncomfortable for a while.

Ah Lu continued: "It's not that I disrespect them, but the dead baby's yin qi is extremely heavy, and with the corpse oil refined by the dead baby, as long as you have a little bit, your whole person will be no different from me." But this thing can't be bought and sold casually, and I say that only to make the old man mistakenly think that someone will check on him again. When the time comes, he'll transfer the oil to a dark room, and I'll steal some of it. ”

Dong Junqin smiled helplessly, okay, this time I have to steal something!

"But that old man is not afraid of retribution for doing such a thing?" Dong Junqin asked curiously.

Ah Lu waved his hand: "That old man is a Gu master, who specializes in raising little ghosts to help people lower their heads." I don't know the specifics, but I heard from the ghosts in the ghost market. Do you think he's old? Actually, he's only in his thirties. ”

Dong Junqin shook unconsciously after hearing this: "Then you still dare to steal his corpse oil, aren't you afraid that his little ghost will trouble you?"

Ah Lu was about to open her mouth, but Dong Junqin motioned for her to stop: "I know, the little ghost is a ghost, you are also a ghost, everyone is the same, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

Seeing that Dong Junqin's tone finally recovered, Alu Allu breathed a sigh of relief: "It is worthy of Dong Junqin, smart......! Why are there so many brothels in this Los Angeles?"

The prosperity of Luoju and the capital is different from that of Changyu. There are no dignitaries here, and there is no developed commerce, and some are drunk and gold-obsessed.

But about fifty years ago, that wasn't the case here.

A small town south of Nakju once had a famous academy that cultivated many scholars and scholars and the pillars of the imperial court. One year, there was a prodigy here, and he was admitted to the Jinshi at a young age. Originally, the imperial court wanted to keep him in Beijing, but this person said that the farthest was Luozhou.

So the various ministries discussed and sent him to study in the Luozhou Assassin Mansion, so that the original official would return to his hometown a year later, and he would take over smoothly.

In addition to dancing and writing, the prodigy is not small. During his three years in Luozhou, there were more than 20 large and small singing and dancing workshops, ritual music workshops, and taverns and flower buildings.

The most talked-about thing is that the reigning emperor at that time, in order to show off the entertainment life of the Central Plains in front of the envoys of Dongli, personally took people to Luozhou for three days, singing songs every night.

Subsequently, the whole country said: If you go out, you must enter Beijing, and you will become an immortal in Tianqing. Changyu is rich overnight, and Luozhou is scattered.

Come and go, follow the trend, and those who really like it will choose to come to Luozhou for one or two days.

But everything in the world must be reversed.

Before Dong Junqin was born, there was a family scandal in the Luozhou Assassin's Mansion.

The thing is very simple, this adult has seen all the beauty in the world early, and people have long lost interest in women when they reach middle age. It's always him that the women in Los Angeles are full of tricks, and he finds them boring. So he became infatuated with a man.

Although the folk customs of the Central Plains are conservative, as long as they do not hurt the unification, even if you are an official, no one cares whether you like men or women. But that's where things get bad. Not only does this lord have a family, but his wife is also from a royal family.

Although the husband and wife did not talk about affection before, at least they respected each other as guests. And this lady can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, can sing and dance in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has never put the royal family on the shelf for more than ten years since she got married.

She probably never dreamed that her husband, who was unwilling to take a concubine, would fall madly in love with a man.

When she found out about this, for the sake of the reputation of Luozhou Mansion, she was willing to let this man live with her. However, the man was unwilling, and the adult did not return at night.

Later, I didn't know who spread the news, so Mrs. found the man to persuade him with kind words, and gave him a lot of money in the hope that he would leave Luozhou.

Although the person is gone, the adult has found it again, and he has made a big fuss with his wife for this.

Madame really had no choice, so she had to tell her mother's family who was far away in Beijing.

When this mother's family heard this, they were bound to be angry, and after thinking about it, they felt that this man must be a demon. So I invited a Taoist priest to Luozhou, and this check is really a monster. Since it is a monster that makes the assassin in Luozhou uneasy, it must be removed, and the government also investigates all the Fengyue places in Luozhou by the way.

But after the monster was gone, the adult became ill. His wife took care of him day and night, regardless of his previous suspicions, but after all, she still didn't keep anyone. As soon as the adults left, the lady began to blame herself with tears, thinking that it would be good to go with him, at least the people were still there. In the end, he had no choice but to return to his parents' house with his young son.

And the teaching workshop in Luozhou, as well as the academy where the adult once taught, were also closed one after another. This is not because they were forced by the government, but because those righteous singing and dancing literati did not want to bear the suspicion of demons and left by themselves.

The only ones left are the restaurant and the flower house.

It is because of this incident that many people have a subtle yearning for Luozhou.

Ah Lu heard this past from Dong Junqin's mouth, and said in surprise: "How do you know so clearly? Haven't you ever been to Luozhou?"

"The master told me. Dong Junqin said, "It was my master who was invited to kill the demon back then." But he said that this monster is actually just a monster, and this monster is born from the heart. ”

"Born from the heart again?" Ah Lu remembered Cheng Xuan.

Dong Junqin nodded and then shook his head: "The man that the adult is obsessed with is actually evolved from his imagination. There is a saying in the Azure Spirit Dao that the original body of all things in the world is a spirit. This spirit contains a tremendous amount of energy, and through continuous cultivation, it has evolved into a human being. But not all spirits can do this, and some spirits are influenced by the emotions of too many outsiders, absorb their breath, and eventually transform into what others imagine. That's weird. ”

Ah Lu seemed to have listened to the Book of Heaven, and seemed to understand whether he understood or not: "You mean, there was an inspiration that responded to the adult's thoughts, followed his thoughts, and finally became the person that the adult wanted?"

Dong Junqin nodded.

Ah Lu was stunned for a moment and said, "Therefore, the removal of that man is equivalent to breaking all the illusions of that adult." That's why he's slumped?"

"That's pretty much it. Dong Junqin said.

As if he knew something terrible, Ah Lu exclaimed, "There is such a thing in the world!"

Dong Junqin looked at her like that and felt funny.
