Gu Qingxing looked at Shen Huaichu like a fool: "Ordinary ghosts can't take shape in the daytime when the yang energy is high, but she is different. She is attached to this pair of shoes. Besides, you don't feel that there is something on the shoes." Formation traces?"

Shen Huaichu was dissatisfied with the young man's eyes, and spread his hands, "It's not like you don't know that I don't know anything about chess. However, Shuang'er can use this explanation, so how can I explain it to the old man Tang Guandao whom I have met three times?"

"Did you meet other ghosts?" Gu Qingxing frowned slightly, and walked under the shade of a tree with Shuang'er.

"I saw it when I first entered the city. We were in the noodle shop, and the old man was across the street." Shen Huaichu said, "I met him again later when I went out to buy food. He even drew a dragon for me when I went out today."

Gu Qingxing lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Huaichu, who was sitting still. He reached for the scabbard and picked the two thin and short arms hanging outside into the chair, "He may not know that he is dead. Such a ghost, He will continue to wander in the world as before, until he is saved or his wish is fulfilled."

The scabbard was slightly cold, Shen Huaichu put his hand on it very shamelessly, and when he raised his head to speak, he changed the name of Gu Qingxing again, "Great Immortal Gu, how do you know so clearly."

"After crossing the threshold of cultivating immortals, many things can be directly perceived by the divine sense." Gu Qingxing simply took off the pair and stuffed the whole sword into Shen Huaichu's arms. mentioned."

"...Oh." Shen Huaichu nodded, "Then when did you watch it?"

The boy's voice was a little cold: "You need to sleep, but I don't."

"Yes, yes, you practice immortality day and night, and your magic power is boundless." Shen Huaichu said, "Then can you untie the formation?"

Gu Qingxing looked indifferent: "I can't."

Shuang'er, who had been listening all the time, was puzzled, his shoes shook slightly, and asked, "My lord, aren't you a fairy?"

Shen Huai's expression did not change at the beginning: "I am not a fairy, but a good person."

Shuang'er shook again: "..."

"Girl, you have successfully caught my attention. Now that you have found me, don't even think about slipping back and waiting for the next person who will stay at the Honghu Inn or pass by the shop next door with great supernatural powers." Pointed at the feather on the upper of the shoe, "I will try my best to solve it, and if I can't solve it, I will hold your great fairy in charge."

Gu Qingxing was too lazy to talk to Shen Huaichu, and dragged him up by the hilt of his sword.

After walking into the sun, Shen Huaichu used both hands to build a pergola in front of his forehead, and asked the person in front in a low voice, "Speaking of which, where are we going next?"

The boy didn't look back: "Do you only have a long mouth to eat?"

This is to ask him to ask, but Shen Huaichu has never seen Huazi, so he has no choice but to pull Gu Qingxing's scabbard, "Then what does our key person, Huazi, look like?"

"You just ask the salvageman Hua Zi, and they will know." Gu Qingxing cast a glance at Shen Huaichu.

"I forgot that he has such a special job, he was a little confused by the sun." Shen Huaichu rubbed his nose in embarrassment, let go of his hand and walked towards the family of three who were sitting in the courtyard opposite to enjoy the shade.

After many inquiries, Shen Huaichu found out a place where Huazi was most likely to go-the dilapidated tavern at the end of Nanhua Lane.

The broken tavern is what the locals call it, because the plaque in front of the door is dilapidated, the two words before "tavern" are completely illegible, and the furnishings inside are also very old, there are only two candlesticks, and the light is very dim at night. Hence the name.

The owner of the tavern is very casual, and the plan to start repairs was shelved after the name "broken tavern" was called, and the name was simply confirmed.

The dilapidated tavern is the place for the poor, and the life of the salvaged people can't be said to be rich, but there is no need to be reduced to that kind of place to drink.This made Huazi, who was already under suspicion, a little more suspicious.

The roads in Nanhua Lane are cramped, homeless people are sleeping at the base of the shady walls, all kinds of smells are mixed together to make people cough, sewage is flowing across the road, and naughty children even find a ditch and start urinating.The disgust in Gu Qingxing's eyes was clearly visible. Shen Huaichu looked at his spotless white clothes, hesitated for a while and then said, "Why don't I go, you wait for me at the entrance of the alley."

Gu Qingxing took out two talisman papers from the Qiankun bag, patted them on the feet of himself and Shen Huaichu respectively, and said calmly, "No need."

Shen Huaichu couldn't help lifting his trouser legs, feeling very distressed.Before coming to Jilong City, he and Gu Qingxing went to a shop that sells talismans. It's okay to buy them with spirit stones, but it's too expensive to exchange them for money that circulates in the mundane world.Gu Qingxing is a beginner monk, so naturally he doesn't have many spirit stones, only the silver brought from home, so he bought about 300 talisman papers for defense, attack and other purposes, and it cost nearly [-] taels.

What is the concept of 300 taels? With 300 taels, he can eat the entire Dragon City several times!

Now Shen Huaichu only feels that he has become extremely precious, and he takes every step carefully.

Nanhua Alley was narrow and deep, few houses closed their doors, and countless eyes, large and small, stared at Shen Huaichu and Gu Qingxing undisguisedly. Shen Huaichu was a little uncomfortable at first, but he got used to it later on.

It was just after noon at this time, and there were not many people in the dilapidated tavern, and the seats were sparse. Even though the light was dim, Gu Qingxing still recognized Huazi behind the innermost table at a glance.

The boy strode over, stood opposite Huazi, and looked down at him.

"What a coincidence, rich young master, we meet again." Hua Zi spoke before Gu Qingxing.

"Adopted son of the Zhang family, how much do you know about what happened in the middle reaches of the Jia River 30 years ago?" the boy asked.

"Didn't you ask Lao Tan? He has lived longer than me, and knows more than me." Hua Zi picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, then spread his palm, pointed his shiny fingertips at Gu Qingxing , "And there is a fee to listen to the story."

Shen Huaichu noticed that Shuang'er had been trembling since entering the dilapidated tavern, so he picked up the bench on Huazi's right and sat down, just blocking the dark man.

"You didn't raise any doubts about the time '30 years ago'." Gu Qingxing uncovered a detail.

Hua Zi smiled: "Didn't that disaster happen 30 years ago?"

"Where's the fire in Zuixian Tower?" Shen Huaichu raised his eyes.

"The same year, 30 years ago." The speaker was sipping wine with peanuts, and his voice was a bit vague.

Shen Huaichu gave a "tsk" sound from his bum-like ruffian, he opened and tightened his fingers, glanced at Gu Qingxing, and was about to speak when he heard a voice from another corner.

"Hua Zi, you remember wrongly, it was 30 years ago, it was more than [-] years ago!"

Someone echoed: "That's right, that was more than 30 years ago, and that year was really a disaster."

Hua Zi's face changed instantly. He pushed the jug and the peanut plate forward, and stood up abruptly, "It's obviously 30 years, it's obviously 30 years!"

"You remember wrong!" the man in the tavern said.

"I remember correctly! It's 30 years!" Huazi roared.

"Only you said 30 years ago, but we all remember it was around [-] years ago!"

Huazi roared again, his eyes were red, and he overturned the table in front of him.Gu Qingxing unsheathed his cold blade and split the table with his sword, while Shen Huaichu pulled a pair of hands and dodged aside.

Huazi's fight was so loud that the wine jars standing by the platform were smashed one by one, and the people in the tavern scattered like birds and beasts.The young man was inevitably covered in wine, and he pulled out the sword flower with cold eyes, and the sharp sword energy knocked Huazi to the ground.

Shen Huaichu thought it was too much to treat an ordinary person like this, so he walked over and planned to pull Huazi up, but the moment his fingers touched his shirt, the man jumped up on the spot, stretched out his hand and pinched Shen Huaichu to the ground .

His entire eyes changed, the whites of the eyes engulfed the pupils, and bloodshot eyes spread all over them, like two extremely fine nets.At this moment, his hair grew wildly, divided into several strands and bent in the air, and then attacked Shen Huaichu.

Gu Qingxing flipped his wrist and raised the tip of his sword. He combined several moves into one, and the purple light chopped towards his hair.Between lightning and thunder, Shen Huaichu panicked and ignited a cluster of flames and pressed Huazi's forehead,

Hua Zi let go in pain, and then responded with a more violent attack.Gu Qingxing stretched out his hand to pull Shen Huaichu up, and blocked the sword with the other hand, neither of them noticed that the pearls on the red dancing shoes lit up, followed by the light, enveloping the boy and the people behind him.

**

After an unknown amount of time, the white light dissipated, and the hand that was blocking Shen Huaichu's eyes moved away, and a strange voice fell into my ears, a young man with a young voice was speaking.

"I secretly plucked the pearls from my mother's wedding dress at the bottom of the box and embroidered them on the upper. The feathers came from the little bird we raised together. Do you wear them to see if they fit?"

Shen Huai raised his eyebrows, pressed down the hand that hadn't been fully retracted in front of him, and looked up at the source of the sound.

The short and narrow alley was filled with the setting sun, the girl's cheeks were flushed, she and the boy opposite were holding a pair of red dancing shoes, the feathers swayed lightly, and the pearls shone slightly.

"You took apart your mother's wedding dress..." The girl opened her mouth slightly, and pushed her dancing shoes back, "How can this be done, before your mother finds out, embroider and embroider it back."

"Anyway, my mother won't wear that dress anymore. It's such a waste to press the bottom of the box. Try it quickly. I've been embroidering for several nights, and your eyes are red from boiling." The young man pointed to his eyes with a smile on his lips. It's about to overflow.

The girl hesitated for a while, and finally nodded. With the help of the boy, she took off her embroidered shoes and put her feet into the red dancing shoes.

"This is probably Shuang'er and her fiancé." Gu Qingxing's voice sounded at the right time, and he turned his head away, not forgetting to cover Shen Huaichu's eyes, "Do not look at evil."

Shen Huaichu gave a funny "Oh", the young man behind him is a little old-fashioned, and the ancients paid attention to this, as if they said that they have to be responsible when they see a girl's feet?

"Why did we come here? Isn't it in a dilapidated tavern?" Shen Huaichu asked.

"I'm afraid it's because of those dancing shoes." Gu Qingxing said.

Shen Huaichu nodded, his long and dense eyelashes flicked across Gu Qingxing's palm, Gu Qingxing's palm shook slightly, and then he took it away.

Shuang'er had already put on her shoes in the alley, she tiptoed around on the ground, holding the skirt in her hand, and asked the boy with a smile like a flower: "Zhao Yousheng, do you look good?"

"Pretty! My Shuang'er is the prettiest!" Zhao Yousheng stretched out his hand to hold Shuang'er's waist, and lifted the girl up into the air to circle.

Shuang'er patted Zhao Yousheng's hand, "Then let me down, I'll show you a dance, I learned a new dance yesterday!"

Zhao Yousheng hurriedly agreed, and after Shuang'er stood firmly on the ground, he began to dance.The girl's waist is soft, like a wicker stretched in the setting sun.

Shen Huaichu was not interested in admiring her dance, but looked up at Gu Qingxing, "The name Zhao Yousheng sounds familiar, I seem to have heard it not long ago."

"Shuang'er told you?" Gu Qingxing lowered his head.

"No, Shuang'er never mentioned her fiancé's name." Shen Huaichu frowned slightly, "I should have heard it on the street, but I can't remember it."

Gu Qingxing blinked his eyes slowly, and said softly: "Then don't think about it for now."

Shen Huaichu gave a muffled "um" and said again: "How do we get out of this memory."

"When you come here, just take a look. What year did the Jiahe incident and the Zuixianlou tragedy happen? What's wrong with it?" Gu Qingxing's voice was cold and full of texture, as if the snow on the top of a mountain had melted and dripped onto the ground. the tip of the blade, and then bounces lower.

Such a voice made Shen Huaichu also calm down. He turned his eyes back to Shuang'er and Zhao Yousheng, and carefully looked at their faces.

At this time, Shuang'er was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pretty face, compared to Zhao Yousheng, who was much more ordinary, a handsome boy next door.

After dancing, Shuang'er took off her dancing shoes and wrapped them in a cloth towel, then stuffed them into her cuffs. Zhao Yousheng took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat? I did my father a big favor yesterday." , he gave me some pocket money."

Shuang'er giggled: "I don't want anything else, I just want to eat your candy bunny, you have to draw a big one for me!"

"Okay, draw a big one. Is your face so big?"

"Yeah, you're making fun of me for being too cheeky. See if I don't hit you!"

Zhao Yousheng and Shuang'er laughed and ran out of the alley, they didn't see the two standing at the entrance of the alley at all, and walked past them directly.Shen Huaichu turned his head to look for Zhao Yousheng's back, and he didn't speak until Gu Qingxing pulled him back, "That Zhao Yousheng is Huatang Guandao..."

With that in mind, it was easy for him to piece together the whole story.The girl has good dancing skills, but for some reason she had to fall into the prostitution. She was disdainful of her own status, so she broke off contact with her fiancé.The boy's love didn't weaken because of this, day after day he peddled Tang Guandao, which girls love to eat, in the streets and alleys, trying to meet her again.

He remembered asking Shuang'er before if he had ever seen a candy seller, and the female ghost answered no.

Melancholy arises, spring flowers wither, frost and snow turn white, and so on until the end of each life, the girl is not married, the boy is not married, one is trapped in the token of the year, and the other is wandering in the big city day by day, never to return. meet.

"Hey, Gu Qingxing, do you want to take Shuang'er to find Zhao Yousheng after you go out?" Shen Huaichu paused, with a sentimental tone.

Gu Qingxing turned around, stared down at Shen Huaichu, and finally raised his hand to rub the latter's head, saying "OK".

This memory went quickly, and suddenly came the time when Shuang'er and Zhao Yousheng parted.

This year, Shuang'er's family had an accident, his father owed a large amount of gambling debts, and his mother fell ill due to exhaustion.Her father forced her to sell herself in a brothel. She pointed a knife at her neck and coerced her father to write a letter of reconciliation with her mother. Mother took medicine to treat her illness.

To be honest, for her and Zhao Yousheng, the word parting is too far-fetched.Becoming a prostitute has become a reality, and Shuang'er has no face to see her fiancé again, so she wrote a letter with tears in her eyes and cut off contact from then on.

Then, came to Zhenbao for 30 years.
