Qingguan Nightmare Shadow

Beijing.

Yuyu was holding Yunli's index finger, and the other small hand was holding the candied haws. As she ate, she rubbed the hawthorn grains onto her forehead.He wanted to stick out his tongue to lick it, but he couldn't even touch the tip of his nose. He couldn't talk about the hawthorn that was about to go to the sky; shaking his head, the hawthorn was about to fall, and he didn't know where it would roll in the next second.The kid was neither left nor right, Yunli noticed that Yuyu was uncomfortable, lowered his head, couldn't help laughing, and helped him remove the hawthorn grains on his forehead and stuffed them into his mouth.

Yunli didn't notice him at first, because he felt someone was following him, so his heart was tense.

As he walked, the aura of the person behind him gradually disappeared without a trace.

"Brother Yun, let me let go." Yuyu reported, and wiped the sugar residue on his forehead with the hand that held Yunli, and then brought it to his mouth to sip it.Yun Li dusted him on the head, laughed and said that he was poor, and said, "You love sweets so much, what should you do if you are so poor that you can't afford sweets?" Yuyu pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Affordable, Ma'am I can afford it." "Then what will Yuyu buy candy for Auntie in the future?" "Yuyu doesn't want the future, Yuyu only wants the present."

"What are you thinking now?"

"I'm thinking, I have to try my best to remember the taste of candied haws, make it for my mother and brother Yun."

Yunli: "Are you tired from walking?" Yuyu: "Tired." "Would you like to hug?" "Yes." Yunli put the child on his shoulders, protected his waist with his hands, and looked back indistinctly A swing: the vanished stalker reappeared in his range of perception.He couldn't help but think of what the little ghost said, but looking at the shining white sun above his head, he really didn't want to guess that the one "staring" at him was a powerful guy who could travel during the day.

So, it's not just "ghosts" who are staring at him.

He had never been to the capital, but at this time he unknowingly chose a "familiar" road and walked up it.Soon, the eaves of the Xuan Pavilion slipped into the corner of his eye, and he realized: This road was passed by the little fairy Si Ming when he lost his way, and a few steps forward, it will lead to the north gate of the palace.From a distance, there are interior woodcuts of Xu Zhen said on the north wall of the palace, which are gorgeous but not messy. When you get closer, you can find that not every picture is different.

A large number of woodcuts are hung along the wall, and they are repeated every ten or so pieces, so that they have a gorgeous but not chaotic aesthetic.Yunli approached to look at the painting in a strange way, while paying attention to the people following behind him, but he didn't feel anyone approaching for a long time.

With candied haws in her mouth, Yuyu suddenly said, "Brother Yun, there is a piece missing here."

Yun Li also saw it.Where Yuyu mentioned, what is missing is a whole woodcut; this exposed wall should have a picture of a lotus pond.Although he felt that his curiosity was inexplicable, Yun Li still ran to the north gate and asked the guard why there was a painting missing on the wall.How could the guards pay attention to him and drive him away quickly on the grounds of the forbidden area of ​​the palace gate.

Looking for another person, Yun Li found someone who was about to unload the horse and was about to be inspected to enter the palace. He heard the other person shake his head and say, "I don't know why it disappeared. It was fine before."

"Do you often go to the palace to deliver things?"

The other party bowed his head and opened the box and said: "It's not 'often', it's every day. Young master, it's not surprising that there is a lack of a painting. In the palace, if something is damaged, it must be put away and a new one will be made. This hangs on the The one on the palace wall is for face, maybe it was smashed by someone without eyes, so it was taken down to save a place to hang a new painting." After finishing speaking, he chatted a few more words, but when he looked up again, Unexpectedly, there was no sign of Yunli, but he had been talking to himself for a long time.

Yunli left in a hurry because Yuyu pointed and said, "Brother Yun, look at the house over there is also very nice." Yunli followed him to look over, but only now noticed that the north gate of the palace is facing Guoshi Mansion couldn't help feeling tense, put Yuyu in the bag, and left quickly.Whether it's the "disappearing and appearing" stalker, or the National Teacher's Mansion standing behind him suddenly, they all give him a feeling that this place is not suitable to stay for a long time.

According to his intuition, Yunli "fake it" and Yuyu hurried away.

He was thinking, hoping that he had not had enough rest last night and had hallucinations. Unexpectedly, the aura of the person behind him became more and more obvious; as soon as he accelerated, the person behind also accelerated.Looking back, I saw the people behind running up in the open, almost blatantly announcing that they wanted to arrest people.

Taking another look, Yun Li recognized that the one who was blatantly chasing him was an "acquaintance": the general of the Beijing army who was ordered to pretend to be the leader of the barbarians.

Running on the streets of the capital city and being chased by uniformed generals of the Beijing army, the ones who suffered the most were undoubtedly those who ran ahead.Fortunately, the general of the Beijing army was sneaky just now, and now he is going out in person. He probably didn't receive a clear order. He probably just wanted to make up for his crimes and claim credit.Yunli considered that most people didn't know who they were, so he weighed one or two, and still went to places with many people.

He tried to find someone, but turned into running away.

I thought I was hiding in the crowd, but the one behind me had good eyesight and was still chasing after me.Yun Li didn't want to go on a rampage, just when he felt that he couldn't control the sword and was aggrieved when he ran, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his eyes.Although stretching out his hand to ask for help would damage the image of the Immortal Monarch, but at this time Yun Li was indeed reassured, and slowed down, instead waiting leisurely for the general of the Beijing army to arrive.

The general of the Beijing army only thought that Yunli had blended in with the crowd and escaped his sight, so he took it lightly and stopped moving forward, so he immediately showed his token to clear the way, and stepped out of the stance that he was sure of winning.

The crowd dispersed in an uproar, and upon hearing the sound, the person in front of Yun Li also turned around.

Yun Li turned around with him, facing the general of the Beijing army.

The general of the Beijing army stumbled and stood far away from the two of them. After looking around, he felt embarrassed, so he quickly turned over the token at his waist and put it away, so that the seal script on it was facing down.

Anyway, the "tiger" in the back is his own, Yunli is not afraid that someone will laugh at him as a fake tiger, and said: "My lord, have we met somewhere?" He cupped his hands and said, "Master Fuguo." Yun Li turned his face to look at Su Tong, and said, "This one chased me all the way, I thought I didn't lose anything, and I didn't pick up anything, I don't know if this lord Why did you follow me? It's human nature. If you are scared, you will naturally walk faster. I thought about it again, this adult must be in a hurry to see me. I walked too fast to avoid him. I was rude. .”

Yun Li stayed for a long time for the other party to make up the story, but the other party didn't want to make up a convincing reason, avoiding Su Tong's scrutiny, and said to Yun Li: "It's annoying to hunt down, but I have recognized the wrong person." , disturbed the young master, and I have neglected my duty."

Yun Li turned to let Su Tong out: "My lord told me 'dereliction of duty', how can I take it seriously?"

Obviously, Jiahui would not explain to Su Tong why he sent people to surround the Shazhou army he led, leaving everything for him to think about.If you think about it, you can understand it, but you may not be able to live comfortably.Looking at the general of the Beijing army, even though Su Tong knew that he was forced to do so, she still didn't want to see him again.This general has been avoiding Su Tong since then, and it is impossible not to be embarrassed when he suddenly broke into his field of vision today.

Su Tong took Yunli to her side, looked at the general and waited for him to speak.The two sides looked at each other in silence, the general of the Beijing army felt chilly in Su Fuguo's eyes, so he didn't look at the expressions of the people around him, just bowed his head and walked away with his hands clasped.

Pedestrians on the street gathered again and went their separate ways.Su Tong was wearing simple casual clothes, walking around, not many people paid attention to this Lord Fuguo who came to the street at some time.

Yunli carried out Yuyu, who had been bored for a long time, and said, "Here, Brother Su, do you miss Brother Su?"

Yuyu smiled all over her face: "Yes."

"Go over and kiss Brother Su." Yuyuyou Yunli put her arms around her waist, made a "flying out" gesture, and kissed Su Tong's face.Su Tong's eyes were slightly bent, and the corners of his lips were raised in the same arc as the brows. As soon as his smiling eyes moved, they collided with Yun Li's clear and shallow eyes.Yun Li touched the tip of his nose, smiled and said, "It would be great if you had a younger brother who is as obedient as Yu Yu."

Yuyu felt that she had been praised, and "returned the gift" and said, "Brother Su, it would be great if he had someone as good as Brother Yun...well, such a good person to accompany him."

Su Tong curled up her index finger to scrape the tip of Yuyu's nose.

Yun Li returned to the serious topic, "Where's Yuchi Ling?"

"There is the national teacher."

Thinking of the National Teacher's Mansion, Yun Li shuddered, and Su Tong looked suspicious, obviously knowing that he had something on his mind.Yun Li shook his head slightly to show that nothing happened, and only said: "He is messing with 'corpse gas' at Nie Cang's place?" Nie Qiu's, Nie Cang is more clear."

Yunli: "... Yuchiling still told you that the 'breath' might not belong to Nieqiu?"

Su Tong: "..."

Yunli: "I personally experienced Nie Qiu at that time..."

Su Tong: "I believe you."

"Ok?"

"Whether Xing Yin believes it or not, and whether he asks for proof, that is his way of doing it."

Yun Li sized up the uniform Su Tong was wearing, and looked carefully, and found a sword hidden under the clothes: "So, you have already checked?" In this way, walking on the street quietly has his own purpose.

Yunli: "Any clues?"

Su Tong said: "The formation is strange and there are many prisoners, but the wizard behind the scenes has been hiding in the capital for a long time. To find the person behind it, we should not focus on secluded places. There are not many quiet places in the capital, why? If Qiu hid in that kind of place, he would be easily exposed." After a pause, he said, "You should know, 'The Great Hermit hides in the city'."

Before Yunli could ask again, Su Tong led him into a teahouse and sat down pretending to be an ordinary customer.

There was a slap of the gavel in front, and the tea guests were quiet, and the storyteller said:

"Last time, that ancient tree, Yao Kui, fell into a catastrophe, so he broke his cultivation and returned to the form of a monster..."

Listening to his mother's story, Yunli's ears were almost callused, and he couldn't help yawning; looking at Yuyu again, the kid was very interested in this kind of story, listening carefully, his mouth slightly opened, staring at the storyteller intently .

Yun Li asked Su Tong, "What are you doing here?"

Su Tong: "In the past, the signboard of the inn was mainly hung here. At the end of autumn, a teahouse was opened on the first floor, but the signboard of the inn was not picked up." The storyteller said: "One is an ancient god, and the other is an unknown little demon. Please comment, is the last section of the "Yao Kui Chapter" in Mr. Bai Yi's "Xuan Xing Ji" really reasonable? From the stories told by Mr.’s words, it can be seen that ‘preconceived ideas’ are a great deception in life.”

As the book talks, it sublimates to the level of life.Yun Li knew that storytellers had narrations and comments, but today the storyteller changed his subject abruptly without saying a few words, and even commented on the mistakes of "Xuan Xing Ji", which sounds quite interesting.Yunli didn't look for the teahouse owner anymore, and looked away, holding Yuyu in his arms and continuing to listen to the book.

The storyteller said: "It takes a hundred years to form, a thousand years to become an adult, and ten thousand years to become a fairy. The ancient demon king has only undergone a short period of painstaking training, and he has leapt to become a king. Everyone knows that the story of the ancient demon king actually reveals the governance of the world?" Speaking of this , Scanning the seat, then Fan continued: "The so-called, there is no shortcut in the world, breaking the precepts will be punished by heaven. Is the demon leader working hard to cultivate himself? Otherwise, the little demon is forced to cultivate immortality, so he seduces the immortal king to obtain immortal power, so Only then will he have a chance to ascend to the sky in one step. The little demon is shallow, unaware of the laws of heaven, and has eyes, so he can see through his dirty thoughts and let go of his love to punish him... You are the distinguished guests of the capital, you may have talented people in your family, or you may have virtuous brothers and sisters, listen to this Superficial book reviews, I should actually advise all the family members who are waiting for the test: Heaven is right for people, that is, there are roads in the mountains of books, and diligence is the path, and the sea of ​​learning is boundless and hard work. Take the aspirations of Bai Yi's "Xuan Xing Ji" as a mirror..."

Yun Li clenched his fists and almost rushed up to slap the storyteller on the head with a gavel.

How can there be such a misinterpretation of the story?

It's okay that Yunli doesn't know who his father is, but since he knows that his father is Minyou with peach blossom eyes and a clear face, he can't help being furious when he hears someone slander his mother so much.Fortunately, Yuyu couldn't understand the storyteller's nonsense, so she fell on him and closed her eyes to sleep; and Su Tong pressed his shoulder, so he restrained himself and didn't raise his sword.

Su Tong said in a low voice: "The Supervisory Office strictly controls the style of writing in the capital. Although "Xuan Xing Ji" is widely circulated, if it is not revised in this way, it probably won't be reviewed by people." Don't talk about it." It was a rare time that Su Tong didn't understand why he was angry, thought about it, and said: "Since there are audiences, it's up to you to make a living."

As soon as Su Tong finished speaking, he didn't know where the storytelling was going, and there was thunderous applause from the audience.

Yuyu was startled, opened her eyes and knocked, but seeing Yunli and Su Tong were beside her, she continued to lie on her stomach with peace of mind.

The storyteller tells a chapter, and the servants in the teahouse carry kettles to each table to refill tea.Su Tong handed a piece of gold to Yunli without any trace, Yunli understood, wronged Yuyu and went to lie down with the viewing mirror for a while, while the boy turned to this table, he quietly pulled the boy's hand arm, showing him a corner of the gold.

The servant lowered his head and rolled his eyes, silently poured out the tea, then put the kettle back and took Yunli to a corner.

The little servant laughed and said, "I don't know what you can do, young master?"

"Looking for your boss, I want to talk about a business."

The young boy in the teahouse bowed, as if he had paid the ticket; soon, he turned back and bent over to lead the teahouse owner.The owner of the teahouse had a smile on his face, and swept the sword at Sao Yunli's waist, but he couldn't see any meaningful patterns, his smile couldn't help but dimmed, but he still held on.Feeling the waiter's eager eyes, Yun Li put a kun on his belt, avoided the teahouse owner, and randomly stuffed a ball of paper; the other party regarded it as a silver ticket, "rewarded", so he hurriedly said goodbye and wanted to leave.

Yun Li cupped his fists to cover his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Don't be busy".The little servant came back and looked at the owner of the teahouse in amazement. The owner of the teahouse finally couldn't help it, and said, "Young master is so mysterious. I don't know why? I'm just a tea seller at the beginning, so I can't bear to be scared; if the young master brings If you want to do something extraordinary, if you don’t have to do it next time, you must definitely find another master.”

Yun Li shook the gold again: "It's nothing serious, a small business." The owner of the teahouse hesitated a little, then put his ear up to ask him to talk.Yun Li glanced at the ladder leading to the second floor, and said, "It's not a big business, but at least it's related to everyone in your building. I also ask the boss to gather everyone together."

The boy accepted the order with his eyes, and found all the workers in the teahouse for the owner of the teahouse.

A dozen or so gathered around, but Yun Li didn't speak to everyone, he only asked the boss, "You said you were a tea seller at the opening, how did I see the sign of the inn hanging outside?" The boss said stiffly, "The inn is losing money, Opened a new business, and the brand has not had time to change." "I see that the location in this area is good, and there are a lot of your inns in the front, back, left, and right. They are open and prosperous, so why is your business so cold?"

"Young master also said that there are inns all over the front, back, left, and right. They rob the guests. Now I don't have to rob them. I just harvest all the people who came in the past as tea customers. Isn't the business...won't it be better."

"The boss is still thoughtful. The sign outside is not changed, and the decoration upstairs is inconvenient. If you try to go all the way, the teahouse will not be able to continue. You can still leave when you turn around."

"..." The face of the owner of the teahouse changed completely, and he suddenly called out "Little Official", and said with weakness in his knees: "I don't have eyes, I don't know you, Young Master... I don't know that the official is from the Supervisory Office, neglect Oh, I’ve been neglected. Oh, my lord, why bother, can you just tell me how much I should be fined? I’ll immediately apply for a change of business for this shop. As for the sign outside, if you want me to pick it up, I’ll find someone now Take it off... Well, you two, go out and get the sign, and then take my badge to make up for the punishment."

Yun Li looked at the place where Su Tong was sitting just now, stopped the two young men who had raised their feet and set off, and said, "Who said I belonged to the Supervisory Office? Your capital's Supervisory Office is not only in charge of storytelling, but also in charge of hanging books at the door of the shop." brand?"

Everyone was confused, and the owner of the teahouse said with concern: "Then, young master, you..."

Guessing that the time has dragged on, Yun Li said: "It's nothing, just ask." The owner of the teahouse was confused, but when he saw Yun Li retracting the half of the gold that was exposed by his sleeve, he grabbed him and said, "What the hell are you? mean?!"

Yunli: "Nothing interesting. Su Fuguo has come to your place, and I want to go up to the second floor to have a look, lest you kneel down and stop, your legs will be too sore."
