Boyi looked sideways, and saw that the pale mask made the woman's delicate chin look like a sculpture, glowing with a vivid milky luster.
Because she was wearing a mask, she felt more relaxed. The corners of her mouth did not raise habitually, and the expression in her shallow eyes revealed a sense of ease and ease that was rarely seen through the holes in the mask.
She was looking at the eye-catching character "囍" directly above the stage. It seemed that the person on the stage was indeed the protagonist.
But there were clearly three people on the stage.
He shrugged and said indifferently: "How about guessing who is the groom?"
Boyi also looked back at the stage: "I bet on that devil. What's the point of the story about gods and immortals being together?"
She chuckled softly: "It's really popular these days to put fairies, demons, mortal monsters together."
"Then who do you think the groom will be?" He wanted to know the answer to this question, and he refused to give up.
"I never like to talk about other people's affairs."
She looked at the story on the stage, seemingly fascinated.
Just when Boyi thought she wouldn't answer, she whispered: "Just follow your heart."
At this time, the scene was being played on the stage where the glorious god-general deceived the fairy, and all his kindness to her was just to kill her at the right time. The devil, on the other hand, protected the fairy at all costs.
Everyone in the audience sighed and sighed, and there was a bustle for a while.
Boyi's dark eyes were stained with a smile. He didn't know whether he was happy that he had bet on the right person, or he was happy that he said "from the heart".
Sure enough, it is a popular storybook these days. Yu Qiansi turned his attention away from the stage and looked around. He saw several black figures like them leaving the corners on the side of the stage, as if they were opening in an overflowing pond.
There was a small opening, and the crowd suddenly began to flow there.
She poked Boyi and said, "Look over there." There should be an exit.
Boyi held her wrist again, pushed aside the crowd first, and led Yu Qiansi towards the exit.
Gao Wei's figure completely blocked the road ahead, but it also blocked most of the crowds. She seemed to be walking through the darkness of the night, but she didn't feel panicked.
This exit should be specially reserved for guests to leave, and no one is guarding it.
The two went out and were exposed to the clear moonlight.
The cool mountain breeze, carrying moisture, gently caressed the ends of Yu Qiansi's hair.
The two of them were standing on a plank road hanging between two mountain cliffs. Below their feet was an endless abyss, dark and dangerous.
The cliffs on both sides are dotted with many small illuminated grids. Each grid is a stone cave, connected by wooden planks, like climbing vines, winding down according to the situation.
Behind you are the tall buildings and high halls towering between the two mountains.
Boyi turned around and saw four simple and vigorous words engraved on the main hall he had just come out of:
"The Immortal City of Desire".
"This palace actually stands in the air between two cliffs? I heard that the ghost market was uprooted by the late emperor. I didn't expect that it could reach such a scale in just more than ten years."
Yu Qiansi was stretching out her hands to catch the wind, with her five fingers stretched out like green onions, and smiled when she heard what Boyi said.
Boyi looked over in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"
"The Lord of Yunzhong City, Yunzhong Jun, was the Lord of the Ghost Market back then. This is true, but Yunzhong City is not a ghost market."
Ever since Yunzhong City grew uncontrollably in the capital and became a hidden secret among wealthy families, everyone thought that Yunzhong City was the ghost market it once was.
Yu Qiansi pointed to their plank road and said calmly: "This is the ghost market down here."
Boyi's heart skipped a beat, the ghost market still exists?
Yu Qiansi looked at the main hall behind him: "Wherever there is light, there are shadows, and when there are people, there are ghosts. Under the protection of the 'Immortal in the Cloud' above my head, it is not difficult to allow some little ghosts to survive, right?"
Wherever there are high-ranking families, there will also be ordinary people with lowly status. This is an eternal truth.
But those broad roads are inaccessible to ordinary people, and ghost roads should always be left to the common people as a way to survive.
The ghost market in the past adhered to this principle, but unfortunately, after thousands of years of development, it eventually embarked on the road of confrontation with the wealthy families and was eradicated because it touched the interests of the noble families.
The owner of the ghost market realized this truth in the midst of its decline, and established Yunzhong City on top of the ghost market, integrating the interests of high-ranking families into it and opening the door for them to do things secretly. Now it is even more prosperous.
"How do you know this..."
Boyi was in a state of confusion. He always felt that the closer he got to her, the more he would find the fog wrapped around her body.
I can't dig it all out, and I can't understand it clearly.
Dangerous, but tempting and in-depth.
"Or do you already know this?"
Until this moment, he had to face up to what Yu Qiansi had done before.
She reminded herself how to find the salesman in Yunzhong City to get the invitation, which meant that she knew that the beheading case was related to Yunzhong City. Could it be that she deliberately made a scene in the blacksmith shop just to tip off Yunzhong City?
"The Criminal Division and the Dali Temple were stolen, and the fragments of the murder weapon in the beheading case were lost. Was this also under your orders?"
The pale ghost face has now become her best disguise: "I said, I just make friends."
Boyi couldn't wait to peel off the disguise on her face layer by layer. Fortunately, he was worried that she would be implicated in the theft of the Criminal Division, so he ran around for a long time.
"You keep saying that I'm fake, but what about you? When have you ever been sincere to someone?"
The mountain wind made me dizzy, and my heart was still filled with anger. I simply asked all my questions: "Who are you?"
Yu family? Why do you want to join the court?
What does the jade rosary have to do with her? Let her risk her life to investigate one case after another.
A faint smile appeared on the lips under the ghost's face: "Master Bo, are we not here to quarrel today?"
She also called him "Uncle" and distanced the two of them in an alienating manner: "Whether I treat others sincerely or who I have treated has nothing to do with you."
Yu Qiansi turned around and walked along the plank road on one side towards the mountain wall. Boyi's locked eyes were blank, and he saw two lines of words carved on the mountain wall by an unknown person in an unknown place.
“Don’t ask when things are difficult, the road ahead will be unclear.”
He sneered, not knowing who he was laughing at, and then reluctantly followed Yu Qiansi's pace.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The sides of the mountain wall near the main hall are bustling with people. These distinguished guests in the clouds all wear the same clothes and the same masks.
Yu Qiansi integrated herself into it and walked down.
Not long after, there was a person walking beside me.
If she is fast, he will be fast; if she is slow, he will also slow down.
There was no communication between the two, and they didn't even look at each other, but she knew that the person beside her was Boyi.
At this time, the two of them had reached a position near the foot of the mountain.
There are almost no distinguished guests like them here. The wider the plank road is, the dirtier it is. Moss is spread all over it. There are many people in ragged clothes sitting or lying on both sides of the road.
The terrain here is slightly gentle, and you can already hear the obvious sound of water flowing under your feet.
The number engraved on the door of the cave returned to "Jia Zi". Boyi did a mental calculation and confirmed: "This should be the fourth level of 'Xuantai Ping Yutian'."
Just as he was going down, he noticed that there was a wooden sign hanging outside some stone caves, which was the terrifying golem on the right half. He also vaguely heard the familiar sound of forging iron. But the sound was still deep in the depths, so he did not go to investigate.
clear.
However, it is conceivable that this wooden sign should be a pair with the Buddha sign on the left half. Perhaps it represents that the shops in these caves also have branches outside the ghost market.
In a blink of an eye, Yu Qiansi had already bent down and started talking softly with a beggar-looking man.
Yu Qiansi threw him five coins, and he pointed listlessly behind him, where the plank road turned and was hidden behind the cliff.
Poisonous snakes and scorpions lurk behind it, waiting for prey to come to you.
Boyi took a few steps and saw Yu Qiansi half-blocking him behind him, still looking very cool with his hands behind his back, but he slowed down his breathing and tensed up his whole body in preparation for an accident.
Yu Qiansi behind him also understood the difference at this time and became cautious.
Go around the front wall and head towards the more remote back cliff. The forest here is dense and the mountain is gentler. It should be a sunny place facing south.
There are only three or two stone caves where animals are half silent and listless.
When people here saw these two luxuriously dressed "distinguished guests in the clouds", they all stared at their every move with hostility, which reminded Yu Qiansi of those cloud-patterned faces he had just seen on the stage in the hall.
Fortunately, Boyi's broad back blocked most of her malicious glances.
"look at this!"
Boyi stopped and pointed to a stone cave.
The serial number "Ding You" hangs outside, and next to it is a wooden sign that seems to be temporarily hung, with three words written on it:
"Yu Qian Mountain".
At first sight of these three words, Boyi felt something strange. He looked to one side at Yu Qiansi, who was also attracted by the wooden sign.
The entire face, together with the mask, became as sharp as a stone carving.
His heart skipped a beat, could it really be the Yu family?
Before he could recover, Yu Qiansi took the first step and entered the dark cave.
It is high on the outside and narrow on the inside, gradually extending deep into the mountain wall and forming a gap.
The entire space is like an open fan, spreading out all the chaos and dangers one by one and placing them on the fan surface.
As soon as the two entered the door, they heard two clear bells ringing above their heads.
A few reed mats were used to separate a small area on one side of the inside. Although no one was visible, two figures could be seen on the wall.
One of the figures heard the movement at the door and subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
Yu Qiansi stared closely at the twisted figure half reflected on the wall, sneered, and accurately threw a golden bean in.
The two figures were stunned for a moment, then started to blur and sway.
When the figures became clear again, the winner was already decided.
Yu Qiansi said: "I've reserved the venue, just take the money and leave!"
The figure who had received the money suddenly elongated, emerged from under the reed, and left happily.
The other person slowly came out and was not surprised to see two people wearing black clothes and white masks. They were standing at the other end of the room, separated from them by a messy path filled with various animal carcasses.
The long table with dry tree roots looked at each other.
After a long while, he put on a flattering smile and asked: "Who are the two distinguished guests..."
Yu Qiansi said: "Of course I am looking for medicine. If you can find what I want, you will get a lot more than that person just now."
