Chapter 31: The Enchantress with a Thousand Faces

The sun is shining in at some point.

Ning Chen felt that his upper body was warm and very comfortable, and he even had a feeling of reluctance to open his eyes.

There was no barrier between the outer room and the inner room, Ning Chen peeked and found that Xiang Chu had long since left without knowing when he had left.

"Shhh......h

When Ning Chen was about to leave, he found a small incense burner on the table in the inner room, and there was a short incense burner on it that had been half extinguished.

There was also a note under the incense burner, Ning Chen gently pulled it out, and smiled helplessly when he saw the handwriting on it.

"The rivers and lakes are outside, it is taboo not to be unguarded, and the remaining half of the 'dream guest' will be regarded as a gift from your senior brother. Also, remember yesterday's promise. ”

Dream Guest.

Presumably that's the name of this incense.

Ning Chen took out half of the incense, carefully wrapped it in a cloth, and put it in his arms.

"It's really a good gift!" Ning Chen sighed, and he didn't know if he was satisfied with this half of the dreamer, or he was satisfied with the experience of the rivers and lakes that Xiang Chu taught him.

After cleaning up slightly, Ning Chen left and got up to leave, the one hundred taels of silver tickets had already arrived, and there was nothing else for the time being, except for the rebellion of the Dongting faction that still needed to be investigated, and now Ning Chen also had a hint of ease.

As soon as Ning Chen walked down the Fulin Inn, he saw a local official posting a notice on the notice board outside the inn.

The people of good deeds in the vicinity also flocked to the past, these things have always been the talk of the rivers and lakes after tea and dinner, and Ning Chen did not feel the slightest strange.

Even he himself involuntarily approached the past.

"The thief of the rivers and lakes, the enchantress with a thousand faces. ”

It's a portrait, but it doesn't show any faces, just a rough outline.

"The bounty is ten thousand taels. ”

Ning Chen's mind also appeared in his mind a passage that his master had told him that day in the Cold Mountain Sword Pavilion: "Thousand-faced Demon Queen, no one knows what she really looks like, and no one knows whether she is a man or a woman, the man says that she is a woman, a peerless beauty, and the woman says that he is a man, a peerless beautiful man." The first trace of this person was in the Xiliang Imperial City fifteen years ago, and the first object of her patronage was the current emperor of Xiliang, but the emperor at that time was still a small prince, the most unpowerful prince. ”

"The last time she showed a trace was five years ago, and the last object of her patronage was the hall master Li of our Sword Pavilion Torture Hall, at that time, Hall Master Li was just a little girl who didn't know anything about the world, and in just three years, she grew into the biggest evil star of the Sword Pavilion. ”

Ning Chen remembered the two cases that Master had told him about him, the first and the last.

Since then, the Thousand-Faced Enchantress has withdrawn, and no one knows her whereabouts again. ”

"Master thinks he's male or female. ”

"I've said it, men want her beauty, a peerless beauty, your master and I are a well-known man, so naturally I also think she is a woman!"

"Remember. Ning Chen's master said quite solemnly: "As a teacher, I hope that you can meet the Thousand-Faced Demon Queen one day, but I also hope that you will never see her. ”

"Why is that?"

"Because the Thousand-Faced Demon Queen is the top thief in the world, she only steals one thing!" Master's eyes were also a little confused, as if he had sunk into a memory that he was unwilling to wake up, Ning Chen could see that Master's expression was sweet with a hint of bitterness.

"Steal what?" Ning Chen asked curiously.

"Heart!" Master slowly opened his eyes, calmed down a little, and then said: "This person steals his heart, whether it is a man or a woman, she will not let it go!"

"That's why men want her to be a beautiful woman, and women want her to be handsome?" Ning Chen asked thoughtfully.

"That's good!" the master sighed lightly, and then said: "Since ancient times, the amorous is the most ruthless, for the teacher just saw her face, and he was already deeply involved in it and couldn't extricate himself, although his skills have improved greatly, but ...... Hehe!" Master sighed softly, and then said, "Some old things, don't mention them, don't mention them!"

......

"The Enchantress with a Thousand Faces. ”

Ning Chen sighed lightly: "I don't know why this person is here, could it be whose heart is it that is going to be stolen again?"

"Brother Chen. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from Ning Chen's side.

"Brother Nie. Ning Chen was slightly stunned, and turned his head to see that the person who came turned out to be Nie Yidao.

"I didn't expect to meet again so soon. Nie Yidao smiled lightly at Ning Chen, and then said, "Why are you here?"

"After yesterday's separation, where is the interest to stay there. Ning Chen smiled bitterly, and then said: "It's not ..... to wander around here for a while."

Ning Chen pouted lightly at the notice, and then said, "As soon as I came down, I saw that the people from the government had posted this notice here. ”

"Thousand-faced Demon Queen?" Nie Yidao had obviously heard of this person's name, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then said: "I didn't expect this person to reappear in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know if it's her or her heir." ”

"Brother Nie knows about this person?" Ning Chen asked as he pretended to be puzzled.

"Naturally I know!" Nie Yidao said with a smug face: "In Xiliang, I'm afraid there is no one who doesn't know this person's name." ”

Ning Chen nodded lightly, he also knew this, the master told him that the main range of activity of this thousand-faced demon queen was in Xiliang, and there were occasional traces in Nanming, but Beiyan ...... I haven't heard of this Thousand-Faced Enchantress ever been.

"But I forgot, Brother Chen is from Beiyan, and I shouldn't have heard of this person's reputation. Nie Yidao saw Ning Chen's puzzled appearance, and immediately told Ning Chen about the main deeds of the Thousand-Faced Demon Queen.

Although Ning Chen had known about these things for a long time, in order to expose the flaws, he still endured listening to them.

But just this listen, but I learned something different.

It's my own master, and I didn't mention anything to myself.

"This thousand-faced demon queen is a person from the underworld!" Nie said to Ning Chen: "There are seven ambassadors in the underworld, and this thousand-faced demon queen is one of them, known as the ruthless envoy. ”

"Ruthless envoy?" Ning Chen also learned about the structure of the Hades for the first time, and after listening to Nie Yidao's words, he knew that the Thousand-Faced Demon Queen was actually the Seven Ambassadors of the Hades, and it sounded like this status was probably not low.

"Since ancient times, affection has been the most ruthless!" Ning Chen thought of his master's meaningful exclamation, and he also had some guesses in his heart about this person's way of acting!
