One.

[In this life, you should always be my Su Yan]

[Yan Qing, the most painful thing in this king's life is that he fell in love with you...... Love is not destined to be, and that love has become a burden.

[Jiu'er, since you and I love each other, why bother with the promises of our previous lives?]

[Yan Qing, the promise of life and life is not with you, you will stop pestering this king again, if you want to entangle again, this king will swear here, this life will not marry!]

"No...... Don't!" The man lying on the bed was awakened by the nightmare, and sat up suddenly, the dream and the woman in the dream that had haunted his mind for many years, tormented his mind night and night, the man gasped for breath to calm himself, but a certain thought became more and more intense.

It was late at night, and only the moonlight carefully patted the man's face through the paper window, revealing the man's delicate face as if the veil was lifted, leaving him alone sad.

"A ......"

Two.

"Stinky Daoist—— I can't walk!" I shouted, and sat down on the ground without saying a word.

You know, since I decided to leave Xinglian Town with him yesterday, he actually let me rest with him in an abandoned ruined temple at night, and when I looked down and looked up, all I saw were statues with fierce faces, and when I closed the door, I could still hear the sound of the wind blowing and falling leaves outside, and with the temperature of about seven or eight degrees at this time, I was so cautious! What's even more odious is that this guy woke me up after only a few hours of sleep, and I really don't know what he was in a hurry......

The person walking in front glanced back impatiently: "Little demon, I remember that I told you my name." ”

"Ah yes, but then I thought about it, and sure enough, it's more pleasant to call you a stinky Taoist~"

The person in front was obviously dissatisfied with my answer, and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly, but he still returned to his previous expressionless face: "In front is Jianghuai Town, where you can find a place to rest." ”

"Tell me, why are you in such a hurry?

"Go back to Kunlun. ”

When I was studying, I was always geographically illiterate, and I couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, let alone where Kunlun was, but the only thing I was sure of was that Kunlun was probably quite far from here, thinking about it, I remembered a serious problem-

"So—what will you do with me if I haven't cleared my name before you reach Kunlun?"

Ming Shique turned to the side, still unable to see any emotion, and said: "It will still take many days to reach Kunlun, and before that, I will definitely judge whether you are good or bad." ”

"Then what if, if you arrive in Kunlun and I haven't cleared your name, what will you do?"

"I'll leave you at the mercy of the master. ”

Okay, when I didn't ask.

I'm really, why have I had nothing to do with this cold iceberg man, all I can do now is to behave in front of him, show that I'm a good person, and then quietly wait for him to let me go...... However, when and when it will be another question is a new one.

Ming Shique didn't slow down my pace because I was tired, I saw that this guy was afraid that he didn't have the intention of resting before he reached Jianghuai Town, so he had to follow quickly, but before he could take a few steps, he felt that he stepped on something on the soles of his feet, and as soon as his steps were soft, he fell directly to the ground. Ming Shique heard the movement and immediately turned around and walked towards me, walked to the place close to me and stopped.

I fell and gnawed on the mud for a while, thinking that this stinky Taoist priest is really a practice without distractions every day, and he doesn't even understand the basic pity and cherishing jade, and he doesn't come to help me, so he turned around resentfully and wanted to complain about him, but when I looked up at him, I found that his gaze was condensed at my feet, and I followed his gaze back to the place where I was tripped up, and suddenly I was frightened by the scene in front of me and broke out in a cold sweat on my back-

What I stepped on was nothing else, but a dead man, to be precise, a dead man whose flesh and blood were blurred and lifeless, although this person was dead, but his face still had a hideous expression, the blood at the corner of his mouth was dry, and his whole body exuded a kind of despair after being killed.

This is the first time I have met a corpse, and the sudden shock made my brain "buzz" and crash, and Ming Shique did not stand stupidly, squatted down to observe the corpse carefully, and finally slightly dipped his fingers with the undried blood on the side, and recited a term in his mouth, the blood actually ignited, turning into a wisp of green smoke and rising into the air repeatedly.

Ming Shique looked at the wisp of smoke, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, turned around and looked at the corpse again, as if he understood something, and squatted down to look at me: "Little demon, is it the first time you have seen a corpse, I see that your face is already pale." ”

I seemed to smell a hint of sarcasm, pouted and turned my head: "What are you doing? You're not afraid of a dead person the first time you see it?"

The people around him let out a snort, this is probably the first time I have seen Ming Shiqi smile, although he didn't open his mouth, he did smile.

"Just now I looked at the appearance of this corpse and the features of the dead, and I can be sure that this is the work of the demon. Ming Shique continued to say beside me, "And this demon, the demon power cannot be underestimated, he can already devour people's essence, and the people around him are unconsciously sucked by him every day, and the people around him will be more dangerous if they stay with him for a day." I listened to his analysis and looked back at the corpse again, and it was indeed just as Ming Shique said, this person was already skinny, not so much thin, but suddenly emaciated—the essence was sucked and the body was only a skeleton. This person's blood flows out of the seven orifices, Ming Shique said that this is when the blood is inhaled, you can't stop the suction and collapse, it can be seen from this point that the demon power of the inhaling ** is very strong, and the kraken Yayoi in Xinglian Town is not at the same level at all compared with this demon.

I thought that the two of us just happened to step on this corpse to find this person, but the reality was completely beyond our imagination, Ming Shique and I walked in the direction of Jianghuai Town, and it didn't take long to find another corpse, its death was exactly the same as the one just now, as if the same person did it, and then the closer we got to Jianghuai Town, the more such corpses, until we reached the outskirts of Jianghuai Town, the number of corpses gradually decreased - it felt like the demon had harmed people, and they didn't want the people in the town to find out about it.

We arrived in Jianghuai town just before sunset.

In contrast to Xinglian Town, the people of this place seem to think that the night is the beginning of life - as the sun goes down, the shops on the street are also hung with lanterns, people carry lamps to come and go, and the whole group portrait of the night market makes me look at it in amazement.

On the way, Ming Shique once told me that Jianghuai Town is the largest town in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Chamber of Commerce gathers here all the year round, and many dignitaries will also choose this place as a place to play.

"It's very demonic. "I was indulging in this prosperous scene, but Ming Shique on the side frowned, "Little demon, everyone here has signs of being inhaled." ”

"What are you talking about?There are people here??What's going on?" I instantly sobered up, and felt that Ming Shique's words were too incredible, "Stinky Taoist, are you blind? This place is so lively, you look at the people here are all laughing, how can they be inhaled!"

Ming Shique was just about to open his mouth to answer me, when he was suddenly grabbed by an attractively dressed woman who came out of nowhere, this unexpected move made Ming Shique, who was usually calm and cold, confused, and hurriedly pushed the woman away and pulled out his arm:

"Who are you?" I could clearly feel the slight fluctuations in his deep voice.

The woman who was pushed away did not show her grievances, but smiled charmingly: "This Taoist chief is really incomprehensible, the little woman just saw the child's talent, and she was suave, so she wanted to beckon the son to come to our flower hall to play~"

"No need. After saying that, Ming Shique wanted to drag me away, but was stopped by the woman.

"Dao Leader really should be so ruthless?"

"In a place where I am not good at dealing with such fireworks, I also ask the girl to find someone else. ”

When I heard this, I understood, I thought that this woman was dressed so glamorous and charming, and took the initiative to post it, it turned out to be from the Qinglou...... Speaking of which, it was the first time I saw a living Qinglou woman since I came here, and it felt quite fresh, but--the stinky Taoist priest in front of me now had a rather complicated expression, and at first glance, he was a 10,000-year-old single dog who had never been in love, and he could be so uncomfortable when touched by a woman, so I suddenly had an idea.

I took advantage of Ming Shique's inattention and quietly stepped forward from behind, slowly touched his back, put it on his shoulder, squeezed out a coquettish look, pinched his throat and said in a slender voice: "Dao Chang~ You came up from someone else to play~"

As the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die, and I have thoroughly understood this truth.

Ming Shique's body was shocked, and he quickly waved his hand back, gathering his qi to bounce me away, my body flew out a few meters uncontrollably, and fell heavily to the ground, and the pain hit me involuntarily in the next second, at that time I thought that my entire skeleton was going to fall apart, and I fell to the ground and was unable to move.

"Stinky Taoist, why are you so ruthless, my God" I struggled to get up, touched my ass that was about to break in half, and said angrily. Ming Shique turned around and saw that it was me, he was stunned for a moment, stepped forward quickly, and said in a little panic: "Why are you the little demon...... I...... I thought it was the woman who had come up to pick me up again......" and he bent down to help me up.

For a moment, a fresh smell came to my face, I felt the hair of Ming Shi's missing ears hang down, brushing my cheeks, his hand was vigorous and powerful to lift me up, I got up and looked up, and found that I was only half a foot away from this handsome and peerless face - the sword eyebrows overflowed with the extraordinary temperament of the instrument, the eyes were clear and crystal clear but awe-inspiring, and the thin and lightly pursed lips and angular outlines made the noisy surroundings peaceful. If time could stop for this second, I would wish for this face and let my thoughts fall. It's just that the man in front of him seemed to feel a trace of discomfort, and immediately let go of his hand as if nothing had happened: "Little demon, don't make such jokes with me in the future, I will really miss and hurt your ......"

Although this guy was trying his best to show his composure, I noticed that the roots of his ears were not like words, and I thought that although I had been thrown out and fell into a tenth-level cripple, the purpose of molesting him had been achieved, and-

And he's really much better than the average man......

Three.

After finding an inn to settle in, I felt that I hadn't had enough fun today, so I proposed to Ming Shique that I wanted to go around the street again, and I didn't have much hope, but this guy not only agreed, but also told me not to run too far because I had a chain pill in my body. I was happy when I heard this, and I ran outside, and the person behind me shook his head with a smile, picked up his tea and looked out the window, thoughtful.

It's hard to get rid of that stinky Taoist priest and go shopping freely, of course I want to experience something I haven't been exposed to, what stall vendors are tired of seeing, and want to have some excitement, or go to that flower hall to see how the rich people here squander their money. While thinking about it, I walked to the front of this green building-

I heard that this flower hall can be regarded as a place that everyone knows in this town, the geographical location is in the center of the town, here you will often see the children of the official family haunting, drunkenly sitting on the right hand and staggering out, there are a lot of exaggerated women standing at the door, they are there all day long, they greet good-looking men when they see them, sometimes even women will be pulled by them, what is more surprising is that this is obviously a place of fireworks that cannot be seen, but it is unexpectedly sought after by the townspeople, the proprietress of this flower hall is called by the people of the town"Jianghuai Liu's mother", it is said that this title is Zhang Bohou, who has the greatest prestige in the town, as for what kind of character Zhang Bohou is, I only heard the people say that he is committed to managing the entire Jianghuai, and the politics, business, and taxes are in order, but three years ago, he never showed his face after his 60th birthday, and it was his son who showed up to act on his behalf, that is, since three years ago, Jianghuai Town began to be depressed.

"Wow, in other words, the Jianghuai Town I see now is the Jianghuai Town that has been decaying for three years...... How prosperous this place must have been three years ago. "I thought about what the people had told me before, and I said to myself.

Just as I was looking at this magnificent building with great attention, I happened to hear the sound of rustling not far away, and I came back to my senses to carefully look for the direction of the sound, and found that the noise came from the dark alley on the side of the flower house. The woman's sixth sense told me it wasn't an ordinary sound, and curiosity drove me to tiptoe there, poking my head out of the wall to find out.

Soon, two men came out with a bag of hemp covered with their heads hidden, and they were already taking small steps very carefully to try not to make a sound, but I could still hear them clearly and get a good view of their movements.

I followed them secretly, and found that they had been walking towards the forest where Ming Shique and I had passed today, and the sacks they were carrying were stained with blood, and the blood spots were still gradually spreading. Soon they were deep in the woods, and when they were sure that no one was following, the two men opened the sacks with relief.

I held my breath and was shocked to see that they had pulled out a corpse from the sack, the scars of this corpse and the appearance of death were familiar, and the two men threw the body in the grass to cover it up indiscriminately, got up and dusted their hands as if relieved, and prepared to go home. I waited in place for a while, made sure they were gone, and then quietly stepped forward to take a closer look at the corpse—bleeding and skinny—eighty percent of it was the demon that Ming Shiqi said.

"I have to tell the stinky Taoist priest right away" I thought that this time I didn't play in vain, I had to go back quickly to find Ming Shique and prepare to get up, who knew that as soon as I turned my head, I saw that the two people just now were standing behind me with a wicked smile on their faces.

"When'......" I whispered to myself in disbelief.

"Hehe, little girl, you really have a set" The two men took out their sticks from behind their backs, "The two of you were also halfway followed by you before they found out that you were following us, since you have the courage to spoil our good deeds, then you also have the courage to go to see Lord Yama!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, I ran away, regardless of whether the front was back in the direction of the town or not, thinking that it would not be too late to get rid of the two crazy men behind me and find my way back. In front of me was the same jungle, the soles of my feet had been punctured by thorns, and I ran forward desperately, and the people behind me screamed in dismay, gradually closing in on me. The pain tormented my consciousness, but I Bai Xia Ying must not die here, I haven't slept well, I haven't proven myself to be a good person, I haven't-

Suddenly a dark shadow in front of me, I was caught off guard to meet it, for a while, I felt a broad chest and that familiar smell around me tightly, I have never felt so relieved, and the consciousness finally could not hold on gradually blurred, in the last second I knew, the man hugged me with one hand, lowered his head and whispered in my ear: "Don't be afraid." Then my eyes went dark.
