Guanqingzhai

As soon as the gate was opened, there was a sudden noise, the sound of gongs and drums, and various shouts, and there was actually a restaurant upstairs.

Hu Yue pushed the door open and found that there were familiar faces in the restaurant. The familiar wine doctor was holding refreshments and a freshly heated flagon in his hand.He has a simple and honest face, but moves swiftly among the guests.

The familiar singing girls in the open space sang a little song, with charming eyebrows and eyes.The musician next to him was an old man, whom Hu Yue also knew.

But none of them saw Hu Yue. Hu Yue shuttled among these crowds, feeling in a trance.

Hu Yue wanted to find his original seat, and he had been sitting there drinking with Chu Jue all the time.But now this place is gone, instead there is an extra screen.

The screen has nothing to do with the surrounding hotel style, but the picture makes people shudder. There is a river running through the screen, and there is only a small boat on the river.It was exactly the same as Hu Yue's before, so there was a tall tower on the other side of the river, and the tower was tall and built on a mountain.But the underground of the tower is different. There are many evil spirits underground, trying to climb upstairs.But he couldn't climb it, but was firmly suppressed by this tower.

But the tower bell that was supposed to hang the bell turned into a hanging corpse.The origin of this tower is dead and crumbling.

Hu Yue was a little confused, and suddenly someone beside him yelled, "It's time to raise money, come on, whoever wins will be rewarded with a good wine!"

Everyone rushed to a huge mat, and there were three people kneeling on the mat, one old, one young, and a seductive singing girl.

In front of the three of them was a tortoiseshell tube with wine order sticks made of high-quality sandalwood stuck in it.One old and one young are in charge of all kinds of wine utensils, and there are several stalls of unopened wine jars.The people around are squatting, standing, sitting or leaning, creating a lively and leisurely scene.

The crowd stared at the three of them, and after waiting for a while, the singer took up the wine glass in front of her and drank it coquettishly. Then her red lips parted slightly, and she said with a playful smile: "Calling is like Jun Xi, now that I am here to issue the order, everyone treats me like a great Sima! Anyone who violates the order will be punished with alcohol."

After the singer finished speaking, everyone applauded, and then she said: "Everyone can say an ancient poem, but the first line of this poem must have a kind of flower but not the word "flower and plant". And the last line must end with a word "flower."

The crowd was noisy again, some applauded, some booed, and suddenly there was a sentence from the crowd, "Li Xingfei fell obliquely in the late spring, but the people of Tingzhou did not return, and the drizzle sent Liu Qingtouan, and the ruthless flowers fell without seeing off the guests." .”

Hu Yue secretly sighed: "Okay! It's a good sentence not to see off the guests with ruthless flowers."

The singer smiled slightly, reached out her hand to the stick, and then walked out of a person from the crowd. This person looked a bit like Xuan Mingzi, but he was dressed in the purple clothes of a grandson, with extraordinary bearing and nobility.He made a slight bow, then reached out to take the lottery, shook it, and there was a verse in the lottery: "Choose all the cold branches and refuse to live there, and persuade you to drink a cup of Tusu."

Seeing this sign, the man secretly smiled, raised his head and drank it all, and then retreated to the table.Say no more.

At this time, someone read again: "A pool of stalks reflects the evening photos, and a few bells and drums sound to hear the rain. Summer is full of mang and summer is connected with summer and summer, and the jade boat in the bitang is picking lotus."

The man didn't wait for the singer to hand over the lottery tube, he picked up the lottery tube confidently, took out one, and there was a poem: greedy for young people to trust boats, and persuade them to drink a cup of Bihelu.

The singer didn't blame him for his arrogance and rudeness, she still smiled and handed over a glass of green wine, which was a delicate lotus leaf jade cup.

The man laughed and drank the wine, and also backed out.

Hu Yue looked back, but after a few minutes still no one said a word, he opened his mouth and said: "Just before Huang Ying fell into the court, stop to commemorate the old year. The new rain in the other country drenches the old paper, leaning on the railing to cut the candle deeply Middle flower."

After he finished reading this poem, everyone stopped.The singer smiled slightly, and she put the lottery on the ground. Just as Hu Yue wanted to draw lots, a wooden stick fell out. Hu Yue picked it up with a smile, and found that the wooden stick was also very exquisite in workmanship, not a simple present. There is a yellow chrysanthemum chiseled on it, and there is another poem inscribed, saying: When you wake up from a sad dream, you will be in a yellow beam.

Hu Yue stared at the wooden stick in a daze, and then the aroma of the wine wafted away. The singer was holding a wine, and smelling the wine made people want to fall asleep.Hu Yue didn't drink alcohol since coming here, and smelling the aroma was even more impatient, so he drank it all in one gulp.But it was hot wine, but it made Hu Yue chill, he trembled all over, and the wine bottle fell to the ground.The person also took a few steps backwards.

At this time, the person behind said: "The moon cage is sparse, the shadows are cold and the plum blossoms are falling, and the cold mountain is full of clouds and light clothes. Last night, the flute was scattered with the wind, like playing a Hu Jia stuffed with flowers."

Hu Yue turned her head slightly, but the person who wrote the last poem couldn't tell her face. Hu Yue searched for him in the crowd, but his voice made Hu Yue very familiar.When he appeared, Hu Yue's eyes widened. This person was none other than himself.

It's just that although this person is exactly the same as Hu Yue, but he has a cold and aloof look on his face, but it makes people feel that this person is open-minded.It can be said that Hu Yue is the complete opposite type.

He took the sticks and drew one.It reads: Frost and snow at the end of the world, cold night, drink a ladle of ancient plum wine.The man took a drink, then bowed and left.Hu Yue hurriedly followed him to another place, turned around the weird screen, and the stairs of the tower appeared behind it.The man stood at the stairs and waited for Hu Yue.

He looked back at Hu Yue, cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency's sentence, "When you wake up from a dream, is the most wonderful sentence in this wine order."

Hu Yue was not used to this man's appearance, and felt an inexplicable resistance in his heart. He said, "Yeah, what's not to be a big dream, and everything will come to an end?"

He pointed to the screen and said, "Look back again."

Hu Yue turned around and found that the original wine shop had long since become dilapidated, those acquaintances had also become bones, the bones were covered with rotten clothes and leaned against the tables and chairs, and the exquisite food on the table had become puddles of hair. Black rot.

The three people who were kneeling at the table were three stone sculptures, the carvings were lifelike, but the foreheads of the stone sculptures all had spells written in cloud characters.

Hu Yue's heart tightened, thinking that he had finally found a clue about Yun.

When Hu Yue turned around, the man also turned into a stone sculpture, but there was a piece missing from the heart of the stone sculpture.Slowly the stone carving shattered from the inside out, and Hu Yue couldn't dodge it.Shocked by the explosion of the stone carving, a huge stone hit his heart.He immediately covered his chest, his mouth was sweet, and he spit out blood immediately. He staggered and continued to climb to the top of the tower.But the fragments of the stone statue behind him left only a head, and the head became Hu Yue's head again. With his eyes open, he still showed a cold expression and said, "Do you still think this is just a dream?"

And just when Hu Yue was injured and struggling to climb up, Hong Qiao who was guarding the side of the collapse found that Hu Yue, who had been sleeping peacefully, suddenly had blood flowing from his mouth.She stood up in shock, she didn't dare to touch Hu Yue, so she could only hold the handkerchief tightly.He stared at Hu Yue who was still awake.

Hu Yue clutched his chest and continued to climb up. The stone hit his chest. Hu Yue slightly lifted his clothes. To his surprise, there was a huge hole in his chest.But he didn't feel any pain except for a slight feeling of emptiness.This time Qiuchou appeared again, and he said, "Have you been drinking?"

Hu Yue said, "Exactly."

Qiu Chouke looked at his chest and said, "Then you can't go back."

Although Hu Yue's face was very ugly, he was still calm, and he retorted: "That may not be the case."

Hu Yue held up the wooden sign in his hand and said, "This is the key."

Qiu Chouke showed approval on his face, and he said: "You can go up to the next floor to find out deeper secrets, but if you go up again, the possibility of you going back is very slim. If you go back now, there is still time."

Hu Yue covered his clothes and said with a smile: "Then I will go to the next level."

Hu Yue ignored him and continued to walk up.The stairs are still very narrow, and Hu Yue feels more and more tired as he walks, the feeling of emptiness, but there is an extremely heavy feeling that suppresses him.He moved forward entirely by his own will, and he also read some Zhou Wen to stabilize his mind, but none of them had any effect.

Here he is just an ordinary man, and an ordinary man very powerless and in great danger.

Just when he felt that he was struggling and it was difficult to climb online, Hu Yue suddenly heard a heart-piercing cry. second door.

There was a lock on the door. Hu Yue looked at the wooden stick in his hand, and then put it in the lock. Sure enough, the wooden stick was the key to the lock, and the door was instantly opened by him.

What came into view was a mourning hall, a woman was crying heartbroken, but the strange thing was that there was no coffin in the mourning hall, and I visited all kinds of paper-made fairy mountains and cranes, and two paper dolls were dropped on the ground. Both sides of the spirit seat.The woman was wearing a sackcloth and filial piety, knelt on the ground and wailed loudly. Hu Yue wanted to step forward to see the name of the spiritual tablet.

Suddenly the woman saw Hu Yue, and she raised her head.No longer crying, eyes full of indifference, the woman's appearance is beautiful and graceful, very beautiful.Especially a pair of eyes are cold and pretty.But she said, "What are you doing here?"

Hu Yue said, "I don't know how I got here."

The woman snorted coldly, "Did you really come here for him?"

Hu Yue said: "Him?"

The woman stood up, but Hu Yue found that she was standing vertically with her toes pointing to the ground, two inches away from the ground.

The woman said, "The dead? Isn't it you?"

The woman picked up the memorial tablet on the altar, and Hu Yue took a closer look, and it was her name written on it.

Hu Yue took a step back, and he said vigilantly: "Madam, you are joking, why am I dead?"

The woman shook her head and said, "Yes, you can't die. So many people will die because of you."

For some reason, after experiencing so many strange events before, Hu Yue actually felt a great sense of fear towards this woman. Cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. The woman was still holding the spiritual tablet, and she rubbed her side face On the spiritual seat, he looked up at Hu Yue and said, "What is your choice?"

Hu Yue clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and asked, "Madam, do you know... what exactly is a cloud?"

When the woman heard Yun, she suddenly raised her head, and the spiritual tablet in her hand fell to the ground.She said, "That's a curse, a curse that kills everyone, and you're the one who cast the curse!"

Hu Yue stepped back.But the road behind him was blocked.The woman said: "The cloud curse was caused by you, don't you feel guilty? Hahahaha. You have no heart."

Hu Yue murmured; "The cloud curse...what is that? I have cast such a curse before?"

Suddenly Hu Yue felt a stabbing pain on his forehead, he covered his head, and suddenly the woman was beside him, holding a white rope in her hand, and the rope was wrapped around Hu Yue's neck, she said: "Maybe if you Staying here is the way to break the curse?"

After speaking, the woman pulled hard, and Hu Yue was hoisted up.But Hu Yue didn't feel suffocated, but just felt a splitting headache. He touched his head, and the head was bleeding.

Hu Yue said: "I have my own judgment on what to do. If I am really the source, I should solve it myself. It is not up to others to do it for me."

The woman floated into the air and faced him. At this time, the woman was bleeding from seven holes. She opened her eyes and approached Hu Yue, and slowly opened her mouth, a puff of black smoke protruding from the mouth.When Hu Yue smelled the black smoke, she felt a chill all over her body, and her thinking seemed to freeze.

Just when he became extremely stiff, the woman let go of Hu Yue. Hu Yue couldn't move, and the woman lay on Hu Yue's body. She said, "It's fine if you stay here. You don't need to go back, this way Everything is settled, and I don't have to be alone anymore. Do you think it's okay?"

Hu Yue couldn't answer, but he looked at the woman. The woman raised Hu Yue's head and let him lean on her lap.Hu Yue felt as if she was sleeping on ice.

The woman looked down at Hu Yue, the blood on her face dripped onto Hu Yue's face, both of them were covered with blood.The woman said, "That's the way you were supposed to be. Now it's just back to normal."

After speaking, she stretched out her hand to cover Hu Yue's eyes, just when her hand was about to touch Hu Yue.The door that had disappeared appeared again. At the door stood Qiushouke with a flute in his hand. Qiushouke didn't come forward to rescue him. He just said coldly, "Are you going to end everything here? This is where you came from." The purpose of this?"

Hu Yue suddenly clenched his hands and pushed the woman away, Hu Yue propped up his body.Looking at the woman, he said, "You are the one who died a long time ago, not me. Junior sister, you are already dead. Do you want to keep pestering me?"

The woman's face was already covered with blood, and she could no longer see her facial features clearly.She said, "So what? As long as you remember me. I'm not dead, I live in your fear, I live in your life. That's enough."

Hu Yue stood up, staggering to go out.Qiu Chouke stood at the door, looking at Hu Yue with eyes full of sadness and pity, but also full of contempt.

Hu Yue glanced at him and walked towards the door.Qiuchouke said, "You have never passed this test."

Hu Yue snorted coldly, stopped talking, and stopped turning her head, and walked straight forward.It is not an exaggeration to say that he escaped.Slowly he saw the stairs again, but at this time he was exhausted, he closed his eyes, as if he could still see the bloody face of the woman before, Hu Yue panted heavily, and slid down the stairs.

He looked up at the top, this time it was not an endless staircase, the upper floor seemed to be the top of the tower, as long as he walked through this section, he could see it.

He propped up his body, and dragged his almost exhausted feet to climb up.Every step he took, he could hear the heart-piercing shouts from downstairs, but he pretended he couldn't hear them, and continued to surf the Internet.Finally climbed to the top floor.Hu Yue's face was pale, his eyes no longer had the calmness of the past, they were full of pain and determination.The last door was unlocked, and Hu Yue pushed the door open almost with all his strength.

After the door opened, only the whistling wind could be heard.And the surrounding temperature is already very low.

Facing the violent wind and snow, Hu Yue took three steps back before standing still.

Inside the door is a snowy scene.No one is angry at all.The top layer is exactly like this.

From the moment he opened the door, Hu Yue exhausted all his strength, and his body was as heavy as if it had been filled with dozens of catties of lead and copper.But he had no way out, because when he looked back, there were still stairs, and it was completely a fault cliff, and the bottom was bottomless.

Hu Yue sighed, touched several vital points on his body, and used the blood of his middle finger to mark a talisman on his forehead, and staggered into the whiteness.

After stepping in, Hu Yue found that the white snow was not snow, but white pieces of paper, so many pieces of paper fell from the sky, Hu Yue wanted to reach out to grab some, but the wind speed was too fast.Once in hand, it disappears without a trace.

The pieces of paper fell on the ground and piled up on the hills. Hu Yue squatted down with difficulty, picked up a piece, and there were words on it.And these words are all clouds.

Hu Yue simply sat down and slowly checked the papers, when suddenly he seemed to find something in a pile of papers.Hu Yue dug open those papers, and there was actually a pitch-black coffin buried under the pile of papers.The surroundings of the coffin depict a variety of very detailed but abstract and incomprehensible patterns.
