seniors please be careful

The man was taken aback immediately, and Ye Muchen was also taken aback.In a daze, I saw that man's face was like a crown of jade, extremely handsome, even a cultivator was inferior to him.

The two pairs of eyes looked at each other, neither of them spoke first.After a while, the man stood up slowly and picked up the ghost face that fell to the ground.He didn't show any expression, he just gently blew off a layer of dust on the mask and put it back on his face.

Ye Muchen intentionally eased the atmosphere and said, "Are you going to say now that I've seen your face, so I must marry you?"

The other party laughed lightly, "How could that be? I never force people." After speaking, as if losing interest, he took out the wooden box from his arms and threw it back at him.

Ye Muchen hurriedly reached out to catch it, jokingly: "Why are you willing to return it to me?"

The man smiled and said, "There is nothing hurtful in it, so I can return it to you naturally."

Ye Mu said deeply: "So you're still thinking about me?"

The man said: "If you are willing to think so."

His voice was light and his attitude was casual.Ye Muchen was afraid that he would be angry because of the mask, so he said, "I knocked off your mask and took the box for nothing. Don't blame me."

The man was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "It's really bad to say sorry, and so is thank you."

Ye Muchen heard that his voice was slightly chilly, he seemed to be in a bad mood, he didn't know how to speak for a moment, so he paused and said, "Then you see what to say."

The man smiled and said, "Is there only these two sentences in the world? I saw you, full of thousands of words, but you have nothing to say to me."

Speaking of this, the gourd he placed on the short tree stump suddenly fell, and the spring water in the bottle gushed out, and soon seeped into the soil, completely clean.

The surrounding area was extremely quiet for a while, not even the rustling of leaves could be heard.Ye Muchen didn't know how to react, but hurriedly said: "I should go." Then he turned around.Before Yu Jian flew away, he saw the roast duck placed on the tree stump, and he still hadn't moved a bite.

When approaching the fourth district, Ye Muchen put away his sword and changed to walking.He put the box into the storage bag at his waist, and when he lowered his head, he saw that the entry and exit token of the Immortal Emperor Palace was still tied around his waist, and immediately thought: Yes, no wonder he knew that I came from the Immortal Emperor Palace.

Thinking of that person, I somehow remembered his wet back.Ye Muchen's chest felt a little tight, he turned his head and looked back, only to see the sparse village, where there was no other figure.

In a trance, Ye Muchen almost tripped over the stone at his feet, blamed himself for his recklessness, and hurried to the Immortal Emperor Palace.

When I got back to my residence, it was already three o'clock in the morning.Ye Muchen closed the doors and windows tightly, and then carefully opened the box.

When the lid is lifted, a burst of colorful light shines on the cheeks, which is very dazzling.Ye Muchen looked closely, and saw a Yingtian stone lying in the box.There is a note in the box, with two big characters written in black and white: Return you.

The corner of Ye Muchen's mouth twitched, and the whole note was crumpled in his hands.

Although Ying Tianshi is a rare treasure in the world, but he came to the imperial capital through untold hardships, but it was not for this reason.He originally thought that Lu Ziye would leave behind some treasure or important information.Seeing Ying Tianshi now, he couldn't help being disappointed.Xindao: When he said return it to me, did he mean that I wasted my vitality to heal his wounds, or that he killed me to seize the treasure?But no matter which one, it is very unpleasant.

Based on the principle of making the best use of everything, Ye Muchen still absorbed the Yingtian Stone.In an instant, a powerful spiritual power that exterminated heaven and earth poured into his body. Ye Muchen meditated and adjusted his breath, slowly guiding that spiritual power to blend into his muscles, bones and blood.After concentrating on cultivating for half a day, he finally absorbed that spiritual power.The cultivation base jumped to half a step of foundation building.

Although it is not among the first class, it is more than enough to subdue ordinary monks.

After this worry is over, I can relax.Tortured by hunger bugs in his belly, he was thinking of finding something to satisfy his hunger.Just about to go out to have a look, someone has come to visit first.Only a few thuds were heard, and the door was knocked lightly.

Ye Mu Chen guessed who was coming, so he got up and opened the door, and he saw Qi Xiyue standing outside.

Qi Xiyue: "I heard from the maid that you came to see me yesterday morning."

Ye Muchen nodded and said, "Come in and talk."

Qi Xiyue went into the room and sat at the table. Ye Muchen fastened the door, turned around and saw Qi Xiyue drinking the tea on the table by himself, feeling vaguely familiar with this scene.Qi Xiyue didn't notice that Ye Muchen was in a daze, and only said: "I couldn't find you this morning, where did you go?"

Ye Muchen said lightly, "Naturally, go out for breakfast."

Qi Xiyue asked: "What did you eat?"

Ye Muchen blurted out: "Roast chicken."

This answer seemed to be beyond Qi Xiyue's expectation. He paused the hand holding the teacup, then raised his lips and smiled, and said, "Aren't you afraid of being bored early in the morning?"

Ye Muchen didn't respond, he just said, "You didn't come to me to say these things, did you?"

Qi Xi glanced at him more, his expression suddenly darkened, as if he was thinking about something.After a long while, he said: "Did my maid say anything to you?"

Ye Muchen knew that he was referring to the court lady calling him the son of the general, and said: "I can't remember those words clearly when I wake up from sleep, probably nothing special." The implication: I don't know anything, Don't bother me.

Qi Xiyue seemed not to understand his implication, and mocked: "People in their seventies and eighties don't have such a good memory, do they?"

Ye Muchen: ...

After talking for a long time, the two of them circled each other intentionally or unintentionally, and didn't talk about the main point.Ye Muchen didn't hesitate anymore, and went straight to the point: "What are you busy with these days?"

Qi Xiyue: "It's not a secret, it's okay to tell you. I'm investigating an inn, and it's said that it's haunted."

"Haunted?" Ye Muchen recalled the conversation he heard in the backyard that day, "Shangxi School", "Inn", "Transfer" and so on, maybe it has something to do with it.

Qi Xiyue hummed, and said: "A young lady from a certain family cultivating immortals in the imperial capital died there. Later, everyone said that it was haunted, and those who went in never came out again."

"Oh?" Ye Muchen became interested, and looked at him intently, "How did you die, do you know the inside story?"

Qi Xi looked at him more, "You seem to be very interested in strange things?"

Ye Muchen: "That's true. You and I can talk about it in more detail, and I volunteer to investigate."

Qi Xiyue only thought that he was out of interest and that he happened to have a cheap helper, so he told him everything.

It turns out that the immortal cultivating family in the imperial capital valued talent the most.When a child is born in the family, it is first necessary to investigate how the fairy root is.Those with excellent qualifications will have a bright future.Those with poor qualifications were tortured and humiliated.

There is a family named Li in the imperial capital.The eldest son of the family died early, worried that the bloodline would not be able to continue, and heard that the patriarch had two illegitimate children, a man and a woman, and hurriedly brought them back.After a test, he was very surprised that his younger sister was actually a rare favored child of heaven.Everyone in the clan was overjoyed, and when they tested the elder brother again, they couldn't help being very disappointed, the elder brother was not even as good as an ordinary monk, he was just an ordinary person.

Since then, the status has changed greatly, the younger sister has become the eldest daughter of the family, and the older brother can only do some chores of carrying water and chopping firewood.As time went on, the elder brother felt aggrieved and his evil thoughts gradually increased. Finally, one day, he tricked his younger sister to a remote inn under the pretext of traveling, where he killed people and seized treasures, and hid himself in the world.

The younger sister was deceived and killed by her relatives, her resentment persisted, and she became a ghost that killed others.

But is this really the case?

Ye Muchen stood outside that inn, thinking in his heart: Is there really such a cruel brother in the world who would kill his own sister regardless of brotherhood?

Hearing Qi Xiyue mention this matter last night, Ye Mu couldn't sleep because of deep thoughts, and set out here early the next morning.One is to find out the truth of the matter, and the other is to know whether this inn is related to the members of the Shangxi School.

Ye Muchen stepped into the inn.The inn was empty, only a waiter sitting in front of the counter dozed off. Seeing Ye Muchen stepping in, he was in a daze for a while, then suddenly jumped up energetically, knocked down the wooden chair behind him, and knocked against the counter with a loud clang.

"Hey, hey..." Probably because his toe accidentally kicked the corner of the table, he let out a low cry of pain, and his little face suddenly wrinkled.

Ye Muchen knew that the inn was haunted by ghosts, so it was normal for the waiter to be so frizzy.So he remained calm and did not make a sound.

"No, I'm sorry, I haven't seen a customer for a long time," the shop waiter rubbed the back of his head, his back was slightly arched, and he was still stuttering, "No, this is not very nervous, making such a big noise, let You are laughing."

Ye Muchen nodded to him, his eyes swept around.Seeing that the place is dilapidated, but the environment is clean, he withdrew his gaze and asked, "Do you have any vacant rooms here?"

Xiaoer smiled and said: "Of course. We dare not say anything else, but this room has the most vacancies. You can choose whatever you like, and I will take you there."

Ye Muchen: "It's so good. I like to be quiet. If the room in the deepest part of your two arms is still vacant, then take me to have a look."

"Ah?" The waiter in the shop whispered, his eyes were frightened, but it was quickly covered up well, "You, which room do you want to live in... that room is not good..."

Ye Muchen frowned, "What's wrong?"

"That... that room has poor lighting and dampness," he said, waving his hands as if something happened, "Live there. Even wet clothes won't dry, why don't you change to another room?"

In a few words, Ye Muchen already speculated that it was the haunted room.Going to investigate now will inevitably disturb the target, so he said: "In this case, please help me change to another room."

"Okay, okay, I'll help you arrange it."

The little girl nodded frequently with a smile on her face, and immediately went straight upstairs, disappearing in a flash.Ye Muchen saw that he was busy, so he found an empty seat and sat down.

This inn is not big, and the layout is simple.The wooden tables and chairs all have traces of time.There was a rough porcelain pot on the table, Ye Muchen picked it up, but it was empty.He glanced upstairs, but he didn't see anyone, so he didn't plan to call Xiaoer down to pour tea.

Sitting on the wooden chair without saying a word, he felt that the airflow around his body seemed to slow down, and his perception became more acute. Even the breeze brushed the back of his neck, and there was a trace of coldness penetrating into his skin.

Ye Muchen couldn't help shivering, his elbows were pressed on the table, and his palms felt a little numb.

dong... dong... dong...

The muffled sound of something heavy hitting the ground came from the backyard of the kitchen, as if they were hitting something with wood, or as if a child was hitting a ball...but the ball was too heavy, almost as if it hit the ground...

Ye Muchen frowned, and was about to listen carefully, when the waiter's voice suddenly came from the stairs.

"Guest officer, your room is ready."

Ye Muchen took a deep look towards the backyard, paused, and then walked forward.

It wasn't until he got to the second floor that he realized that there were other residents on this floor.The sound of reciting poems came from the room near the corner, and Ye Muchen couldn't help but stop and stand outside the room for a while.

Listen to the man chanting: "Once upon a time, we met each other, but we met again as strangers. Who knows that people's hearts are changeable, and tears stain their shirts at night."

The voice was very clear and familiar, Ye Muchen frowned slightly, and thought: Could it be him?Then there was only a creak, and the door was already opened.A white-faced scholar slowly walked out from the inside, and smiled at him.This book was handsome and elegant, but Ye Muchen didn't know him.Feeling lost inexplicably.

The scholar bowed his hands leisurely to him, and Ye Muchen reluctantly returned the gift.

While bending over and bowing his head, he glanced, and suddenly saw a jade pendant hanging on the scholar's waist, delicate in color and engraved with dragon patterns, it was no different from the envoy jade pendant he had obtained earlier.I couldn't help becoming interested, and asked, "Are you also a predestined person?"

The scholar said: "I am a predestined person in the third year. If you say that, you are too?"

Ye Muchen said: "I'm from this year." Seeing that the scholar was young, only in his twenties, he said again: "The third year... It seems that the gods' tour of the streets is only a few years ago?"

The scholar said: "This is only the fifth year."

Ye Muchen became more and more puzzled. The envoys had always been secretive, so how could they suddenly show Lushan's true colors outside and make such a big fuss.

The two chatted for a few more words before going back to their rooms.

In the afternoon, Ye Muchen put up talismans and set up traps in his house, only waiting for the female ghost to fall into the trap.

But at night, there was no shadow of the female ghost.Ye Mu sat at the table with his chin resting on his hands, waiting and waiting, feeling a little drowsy.Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard the sound of a flute.

The sound of the flute is melodious, ethereal and misty, seemingly real or unreal.

Ye Muchen suddenly lost all sleepiness, raised his vigilance, and quietly walked out of the house.I saw that the door of the room where the scholar lived was ajar, and there was a faint orange-red candlelight shining through it, and it was from here that the sound of the flute came.
