illness into high emperor

"It is said that when the Baiyue Kingdom was destroyed, in a mountain range not far from the east of the city, there appeared an extremely beautiful girl with firm skin and a fairy-like appearance. She was dressed in red, but she wandered alone in the mountains for several days. Someone went up to ask her to help her, but the girl didn't speak, turned around and disappeared."

The proprietress said, she took a sip of water from the teacup, and then said, "The man was frightened immediately. After returning home, he had nightmares every night. Some brave people heard about this and ran straight into the mountains to try to Look at that girl, they all died in the mountains in the end."

"Dead?" Shao Lingjiu exclaimed.

The proprietress nodded, "That's not true. What's more evil is that since those people died, every once in a while someone in the city would go to that mountain at night, and they were all found dead there. If the city lord can't investigate, just After submitting the letter to the court, the court immediately sent people to come, and the result? The ministers who were sent also died in the mountains, and now the visit to Huacheng caused even more panic. It has not been resolved for many years, and every house is closed at night. If you don’t go out, it’s like a dead city at night.”

"In that case." Bai Brown said, "Then why do you still dare to light lanterns in this inn?"

"Yes, yes." Shao Lingjiu echoed.

The proprietress chuckled lightly, raised Kou Dan's finger that was dyed red, and said mysteriously, "My inn is the safest place in Huacheng. If you want to stay longer, then You must stay in the store at night and cannot go out. If you don’t want to cause trouble, you’d better leave tomorrow.”

The blatant warning came out, Bai Tanzhen frowned as if he was thinking about whether to go or stay, but Xi Yao was excited, "Dabai, let's stay for a few more days, okay?"

Xi Yao is the most fearless person.

After Shaoling heard the words for a long time, she almost strangled Changqing's hand tightly.Seeing that Bai Brown really wanted to stay because of Xi Yao's words, he hurriedly said, "Then you stay here, Changqing and I..."

"Lin Jiu, how can you be so afraid?" Xi Yao simply didn't want to let go of any chance to hit Shao Lingjiu.

The proprietress seemed to be amused by Shao Lingjiu's appearance, she covered her mouth and laughed, "You don't have to be so frightened, you can go out and play as you like during the day, but you just need to stay in my inn at night. will find you."

"Really?" Shaoling looked at her for a long time.

The proprietress nodded solemnly, "Of course it's true, my family will not deceive such a good-looking young master."

This tone of voice made Shao Ling feel goosebumps all over his body after hearing it for a long time, and always felt that the proprietress looked at him in the wrong way.Xi Yao was eager to keep Shaoling for a long time to have fun, so he took the lead and said, "I thank the proprietress on Lin Jiu's behalf, Lin Jiu, the proprietress said that you will not be found by ghosts, so why don't you stay and play for a few days? "

"I..." Shao Lingjiu was vacillating and hesitating, Xi Yao couldn't stand it anymore, picked him up and pushed him upstairs, "Then stay, if you leave, you won't be able to eat Master Liu's cooking." snacks."

Changqing followed and went upstairs, Bai Brown stood up and said, "Please ask the proprietress to deliver the food to the room."

The proprietress responded, and rested her chin on her hand to watch them go upstairs, and a vague exclamation resounded in the night.

"It's really similar!"

In the long night, the wind blew past and hit the window lattice with a bang bang.After tossing and turning for a long time, Shao Lingjiu finally compromised, sat up and shouted to the door, "Changqing."

Changqing opened the door and came in, "My lord, what's the matter?"

Shao Ling said for a long time, "Why don't you come in and accompany me? I'm a little scared to be alone."

Chang Qing nodded, closed the door, and sat at the table.

Even though the room was pitch black and there were no lights on, Chang Qing seemed to be able to see it.After seeing someone, Shao Lingjiu relaxed a lot, closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and then fell asleep.

The next day, she slept until noon as usual, after washing and eating, Shao Lingjiu went downstairs to see that Xi Yao was sitting at the table bored.As soon as he saw him, the reminders that had been prepared for a long time were finally poured out one by one.

"Lin Jiu, you can sleep too well, right? What time is it? I've been sitting here for almost a morning, and you just came down? Were you a pig in your previous life? Are you reincarnated to enjoy life in this life? What are you doing? Why don't you just sleep to death at your house?"

Not long after waking up, she suffered from this disheveled face. Shaoling flicked her long ponytail for a long time, and said, "You don't care how long I sleep, even if I die, I don't want you to give me a share." money."

"Pfft." The proprietress sitting in front of the hall couldn't help laughing.

Changqing said, "The word is wrong."

"Hmm..." Shao Lingjiu raised her sleeves and covered her face.

Xi Yao didn't want to quarrel with him at first, and immediately ran over to pull him when the momentum stopped, "Come on, let's go out and see Huahua City."

Shao Lingjiu immediately became interested, "Let's go, let's go shopping."

Changqing still followed behind silently.

The location of Huahua City is remote, surrounded by thick fog all the year round, but the city is completely transparent.After wandering around for a while, the two finally came to a conclusion. Sure enough, day and night are two extremes.There is no one at night, and there are people everywhere during the day.

The voices of hawkers hawking, the soft words of girls, the tone of jokes among lovers, and even the voices of women in brothels that fascinate people can be heard endlessly.

Xi Yao couldn't help sighing, "What kind of place is this? It actually gives me a very weird feeling."

Shao Lingjiu agreed, "I think so too, how about your understanding?"

"Dabai asked the proprietress for the specific direction early in the morning, and went to see the mountain that the proprietress said." Xi Yao said.

Shao Lingjiu immediately stood in awe, "It's amazing!"

Xi Yao said proudly, "That's not true, no matter what, my family understands it, and it must be powerful."

"Cut." This aroused some people's competitive spirit, "My Dabai family is also very good."

Xi Yao had an expression of I believe in you.

While walking, Changqing suddenly pulled Shao Lingjiu back, and Shao Lingjiu was caught off guard by bumping into Changqing's stiff chest, staring at him, "Changqing, what are you doing?"

Changqing looked behind him steadily, a waiter was holding a knife, looking at them in panic.He pointed at Shao Lingjiu and the others, his tone full of fear, "It's just a few of them. They came to stay in the hotel last night because the boss kicked them out, and they came to plot revenge."

Shaoling shook her head for a long time, confused for a while, "What do you mean? What are we taking revenge for?"

Just now this person came up with a knife and slashed at Shaoling for a long time, if it wasn't for Changqing's timely response...

Recalling the scene just now, Xi Yao was afraid for a while, and immediately stood in front with his hips akimbo, "You'd better make it clear, what are we doing?"

Xiao Er took a step back with the knife, "You...you tied up the boss, and the boss is gone."

"What? Blame us for the disappearance of your boss?"

There are more and more people around, pointing and judging, "It's just your store, a foreigner like him has a mental illness, so he stays in the store?"

"That's right, don't tell me that the boss in your shop just ran away with his stuff?"

"Could it be that he ran into the mountains?"

I don't know who said such a sentence, the voices around are getting quieter, and I dare not speak loudly.Seeing that no one was calling the shots for him, the second boy cringed and said, "I want to avenge the boss."

You don't need Changqing to deal with this kind of Xiao Er, Xi Yao easily subdued Xiao Er and turned him to the ground, "Threatening people with a knife? Do you think you are a woman who hangs herself after crying and making trouble?"

When the little girl heard this, she was insulting. After struggling for a long time, she burst into sobs and cried.

"I can't live without the boss, you kill me!"

Xi Yao quickly let go of him and took a step back, joking, he didn't want to take his life.

"Give it up, let it go."

As soon as the voice came out, the surrounding people all moved out of the way, and a man wearing the costume of the city lord came over, "Today someone found a dead body in the mountain, Xiaoer, come up and identify it?"

Hearing this, Xiao Er, who was still lying on the ground without moving, immediately got up, and with trembling hands, he lifted off the white cloth covering the corpse. With just one glance, he immediately lay down on the corpse and burst into tears.

Now that all suspense is gone, the onlookers only sighed, "Another person was killed by the mountain ghost."

One by one they dispersed.It seems that he has become numb to the killing of mountain ghosts to the point of accepting his fate.

Xiaoer heard this, shook his head in disbelief, pointed at Shao Lingjiu and the others with tears in his eyes and shouted, "Master City Master, you have to make the decision for the little one, they must have killed him, why didn't the boss have an accident sooner or later, why did he not have an accident sooner or later? After they came last night, they were killed by mountain ghosts? They must have done it."

When the city lord heard the words, he laughed and said, "Young Master Bai Yuejian, why do you want to have an enmity with you in a small inn?"

"Huh?" Xi Yao turned his head to look, and Bai Brown came over at some point, "Xiao Yao, are you okay?"

Xi Yao shook his head, "I'm fine, but I don't know why this little boy picked up the knife as soon as he came up. If it wasn't for Changqing's timely response, Lin Jiu would probably have been stabbed by him."

Just thinking about that scene, Shaoling Jiuguang shudders all over, how painful is that?

"Really?" Hearing the words, Bai Tanyan squinted his eyes and glanced at Shao Lingjiu who was being held in Changqing's arms, his eyes were full of danger.

Changqing looked back at him vigilantly, and Bai Tanlan turned his gaze away.Sure enough, there is a problem.

Xi Yao took a look at the so-called city lord, and at a glance, he knew that he was a corrupt official, with such a big stomach, and the stubble on his face hadn't been taken care of. He was probably a city lord who often sits still.

If it wasn't because of Bai Brown's identity, I'm afraid I would be too lazy to walk out of the gate of the city lord's mansion.

Bai Brown took a look at the little girl who was still crying, and said, "I'll go and investigate this matter, at least to prove that it's not related to our group."

The city lord hurriedly said, "Then why bother Mr. Bai, I will take care of these trivial matters."

Bai Tanchen let out a cold snort, and sarcastically said, "If you can handle this, you won't even dare to turn on the lights in Huacheng at night."

"This..." The city lord wondered, "How can we mortals fight ghosts?"

"Then you go back and stay." After finishing speaking, Bai Tanyan pulled Xi Yao and turned around to leave without giving any face.

After walking for a while, Xi Yao laughed, "I just like Dabai's stern and selfless look, and scolded that corrupt official so hard that he couldn't say anything."

Bai Brown shook his head helplessly, "Let's go back first."

Back at the inn, the proprietress greeted her, and Bai Tankan nodded in response, and went straight upstairs.

Shao Ling followed behind him for a long time and was about to go up, but the proprietress stopped him, "Young master?"

"What's wrong?" Shao Lingjiu asked.

The proprietress waved Yubai's little hand, beckoning Shao Lingjiu to come forward.

Shao Ling couldn't hold back her curiosity for a long time and leaned her upper body over, only to see that the proprietress took out a plate of delicately decorated dim sum from somewhere, which made people drool.

Shao Lingjiu said pleasantly, "It's for me?"

The proprietress smiled and nodded, "I like you the most out of you, so naturally I will give it to you."

do not know why?Hearing these words, Shao Lingjiu didn't feel any discomfort, but was very happy.He picked up the snack and smelled it, and immediately felt better, and smiled sweetly at the proprietress, "Thank you, proprietress."

The proprietress smiled even more happily, "If the young master likes to eat, you can ask me for it again."

"Okay." Shao Lingjiu picked up the plate and ran upstairs, the most urgent thing at the moment was to show off to that boy Xi Yao, the dessert would not taste good if it was cold.

Sure enough, he had just entered the door, and Xi Yao's eyes could be described as a scourge, "Where did you come from? It smells so good?"

Shao Lingjiu was extremely proud, "The proprietress gave it to me."

Xi Yao hurriedly turned around, "I'm going to find the proprietress too."

Shao Lingjiu hurriedly said, "The proprietress said that he likes me the most among us people and gave it to me. You can't ask for it."

The implication is that if you don't bow your head to him, you will have nothing to eat.

Shao Ling picked up a piece for a long time and wanted to try it, which made Xi Yao's heart itch.Changqing raised his hand to restrain his movement, "Wait a minute."

"Ok?"

Shao Lingjiu looked suspiciously at Changqing who took out a silver needle and tried all the dim sum, "You can eat it."

"Oh, why are you so vigilant? What can the proprietress have against me?" Shao Lingjiu stuffed the snack into her mouth, chewing it with gusto.

Xi Yao couldn't stand it any longer, "Lin Jiu, Xiao Lin Jiu, Xiao Jiujiu, give me a piece."

Sure enough, the face of being a man immediately rose a bit, Shaoling sat upright for a long time, waved her big hand, "Eat."

Xi Yao immediately picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth, Shao Lingjiu yelled, "Shut up."

The two immediately started fighting again.

Bai Brown picked up a cup of herbal tea and drank it, and when the two of them finally had enough trouble, he said, "I went out early this morning to see the mountain the boss said, and the surrounding fog was so thick that I couldn't see it clearly. The boss’ body was covered in blood, so I took it to the City Lord’s Mansion to avoid trouble, but when I entered, I found something else.”

"What?" Changqing seems to be the most reliable one.

Bai Brown took a meaningful look at Shao Lingjiu, "There are portraits of Mr. Lin everywhere in the city lord's mansion, and they are all dressed as women. At least in terms of appearance, they are at least [-]% similar to Mr. Lin."

"What?" Shao Lingjiu broke into a cold sweat, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with this city lord? He actually hangs other people's portraits everywhere? Such a bad taste?"

Bai Brown continued, "Then I made a special inquiry. According to the city lord, the woman in the portrait is the legendary mountain ghost. I was lucky enough to meet him once. I didn't see you every day, so I drew the portrait. Facing the missing beauty every day."

"Ahem, these are his original words, and it has nothing to do with me." Bai Tanlan quickly wiped them all away.

Chang Qing frowned, "Then what does that mean?"

Wise as evergreen, suddenly he didn't know what to do, Bai Brownlan reminded, "It means to tell you to hide your young master well, and don't go out to make a fool of yourself, lest you be dismissed as a mountain ghost."

"So..." Xi Yao suddenly realized, "So the boss suddenly drove us away yesterday because of Lin Jiu's face?"

"It's probably like this. Fortunately, the people watching today didn't notice him. It seems that Mr. Lin can only stay where he is."

Shao Lingjiu felt depressed, "Isn't it enough to cover your face?"

"Cover your face?" Xi Yao said loudly, "Even I can see through it better than you. You can't be more suspicious if you go out with your face covered in broad daylight?"

"Xiao Yao is right." Bai Brown said, "Young Master Lin, admit it."

"It's absolutely tragic." Shaoling sighed for a long time, leaned back boneless, and was held firmly by Changqing.

Xi Yao also felt strange for no reason. He thought for a while, "How about I go get a portrait and come back to see it?"

"Forget it. If you go, you will probably be beaten to death with a stick." Since you can't go out, you're going to be lip service.

Chang Qing picked up Shao Lingjiu, "After I finish talking, I will take you back home."

Bai Brown nodded, and when they went out, Xi Yao asked, "Dabai, what are you going to do next?"

"Go out and squat tonight, you stay in the inn well at night, do you hear me?"

Xi Yao nodded, "Then you pay attention to safety."

"Yeah." Bai Tanyan stretched out his hand and patted his head, "Your hand is almost healed, it's time to practice."

"I see."

With strong flames in Xi Yao's eyes, he rolled and clamored that he wanted to grow up and become stronger, and Bai Tanlong just took one look and was very pleased.

Is it because I came out to understand the meaning of growth, or...

Should I thank Mr. Lin?
