In the courtyard of He Mansion, the dark cloud blocking the moonlight has not dispersed, but under the dark cloud, He Yinghu, Wei Baihe, and He Ziang stood tremblingly beside the ghost master. He Yinghu looked at the ghost master whose face could barely be seen, and even
He couldn't see his face clearly, let alone his expression, so He Yinghu didn't know what Master Gui's reaction was after he said this.
"If I kill that good-looking person in your painting, it will destroy my cultivation." Master Gui said slowly after a moment of silence.
"If it's inconvenient for you, just pretend that I never said anything about it." He Yinghu quickly put away the scroll, then reached out and handed it to He Ziang who was standing aside.
"Wait a minute."
Master Gui waved his robe, and the two scrolls flew directly into Master Gui's sleeves, and then said calmly: "Kill this man, and then I can come back and get this secret book?"
"Yes!" He Yinghu nodded quickly.
"This deal is worth a few years of cultivation." Master Gui nodded for the first time. It couldn't be said to be a nod, just a slight nod of the hat on his head.
"But there is something I want to make clear to Mr. Ghost." He Yinghu continued quickly after seeing Master Gui agreeing.
"speak."
"There should be a woman beside the two people in the painting. This woman is the daughter of the lord of Le'an City, so she cannot be killed. You need to keep her alive." He Yinghu took out Ling Shiqing's portrait as he spoke.
The ghost master turned his head and glanced, then said "good words" in agreement.
"This person should be on his way to Shentian Peak now. You have to find the exact whereabouts in person." He Yinghu said while slowly putting away the portrait.
"I'll go find them."
"Yes." He Yinghu nodded slightly, was silent for a moment, looked up at Master Gui, and whispered: "Master Gui, I have been wanting to ask you a few questions for so many years."
"You ask." Master Gui sat there, as if he had no intention of leaving.
"I would like to ask, are you a human or a ghost?" When He Yinghu asked this question, his tone was obviously trembling. After all, this question has troubled He Yinghu for many years. Asking it today can be regarded as clearing up a big doubt in his heart.
"people."
After hearing this answer, He Zi'ang, He Yinghu and Wei Baihe let out a sigh of relief almost at the same time. After all, if this ghost master is a good person, if he is really a ghost or god, it will be difficult for the three of them to fall asleep in the future.
.
"Then why have you been patiently waiting for me to take the initiative to give you this secret book for so many years without ever having any murderous intentions?" He Yinghu then asked.
Master Gui paused after hearing what He Yinghu said, and then said slowly: "I have been waiting for this secret book for so many years. After knowing that it is in your hands, I can kill you, but this
This method is too risky. Once you disappear with the secret book, I will lose more than I gain, so I would rather wait a few more years than take this risk. After waiting for so many years, I can wait a few more years.
"
He Yinghu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded slowly.
"I will come over on the full moon night next month to pick up the secret book."
The gloomy voice of Master Gui sounded, and he stood up slowly, and then walked towards the door of He Mansion in an erratic manner. The next second, the dark cloud blocking the moon in the sky also slowly dispersed.
He Yinghu, He Ziang, and Wei Baihe stood quietly beside the stone table. No one said anything, and they quietly watched the ghost master leave.
…
In the inn in Bingshu City, Lu Zhengyang originally planned to drink less, but the group of guards finally came out to relax. Lu Zhengyang didn't want to ruin the fun of these people, so he drank a few bowls.
But drinking is something that once you start, you can't stop it, so Lu Zhengyang followed suit and drank happily. The group of people struggled for two or three hours before helping each other back to the room.
The waiter, who originally planned to close the night, fell asleep leaning against the pillar of the inn while waiting. Only after being kicked awake by the shopkeeper did he realize that the group of people had finally finished drinking.
"What do these people do? How can they be so troublesome?" The waiters were discussing in low voices while cleaning up the inn.
"Didn't you see that woman? She is really beautiful. She is definitely not a girl from an ordinary family, but that man doesn't look like a young man from a wealthy family." Another waiter whispered back.
"Yeah, I think so too. He looks like he's eating meat and drinking wine as if he hasn't eaten in years."
"Okay, stop talking. If the shopkeeper hears it, this month's salary will be reduced by half." The waiter chirped, then ended the conversation and concentrated on cleaning up the inn.
In the guest room where Li Longqian was, Li Longqian was sitting alone on the big bed, refusing to get off the bed no matter how vicious Ling Shiqing's eyes were.
"Madam, if that doesn't work, let's go to bed. Your husband and I are sleepy." Li Longqian couldn't stand it any longer, so he yawned and looked at Ling Shiqing and said.
"Do you want to save your face? Who is your wife?" Ling Shiqing stood up and cursed at Li Longqian, and then took a step forward to pull Li Longqian off the bed, but the man followed him.
Like a gangster, she lay on the bed and refused to get off. After Ling Shiqing pulled her a few times, she had no choice but to give up.
"Either you sleep on the floor, or you come up and sleep with me, you can see for yourself." Li Longqian lay on the bed and said to Ling Shiqing with a smile.
"Huhu."
Ling Shiqing pinched the slender willow waist with both hands and stared with big eyes. Maybe it was because she used too much force just now, so her breathing became faster.
"Do you know what it means to pity flowers and cherish jade? Why don't you look like a man at all!" Ling Shiqing stamped her feet and shouted at Li Longqian.
"You can say whatever you like, but I won't sleep on the ground anyway." Li Longqian replied casually, and then turned sideways.
"You are such a scoundrel."
Ling Shiqing cursed helplessly, then sat on the bench again, bulging her cheeks and looking at the man on the bed without saying a word.
After Li Longqian lay there for a while, he turned to look at the angry Ling Shiqing sitting on the stool, shook his head, smiled, and discussed: "If you don't let me drive the horse tomorrow, I will give you this bed.
"
"Are you serious?" Ling Shiqing stood up excitedly.
"Seriously."
Li Longqian scratched his head and agreed irritably, then got up and got out of bed. Ling Shiqing saw that after Li Longqian got down, he ran to the bedside happily like a lark that had just been released from the cage.
He sat down, but still stopped, looking at Li Longqian with doubtful eyes and asked: "You are so kind?"
"If you are..."
Before Li Longqian finished speaking, Ling Shiqing sat directly on the edge of the bed, then swung her little feet and smiled happily at Li Longqian.
"I hope you understand something."
While Ling Shiqing was tidying up the disheveled bedding that Li Longqian had tossed around, she muttered to Li Longqian. Li Long glanced at Ling Shiqing lightly, then slowly sat on the chair and stared.
Outside the window.
"Which night do you plan to sit there?" Ling Shiqing looked at Li Longqian worriedly after tidying up the bed.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything dirty to you. Just sleep peacefully. If I wanted to do it, I would have done it long ago. Why wait until today?" Li Longqian could see what was in Ling Shiqing's heart at a glance.
little thoughts.
Ling Shiqing blinked her big eyes, and then thought about it, it was indeed the case. Although Li Longqian behaved licentiously, since he could refuse their marriage, he would not do anything to her at this time. Ling Shiqian
Shi Qing nodded slightly, then put down the curtain beside the bed and took out the Ling Yuan from her boots.
Ling Shiqing looked at the dagger Zhou had prepared for her in advance. She looked at the dagger carefully and put the dagger back into her boots. After all, Li Longqian was a sixth-grade martial artist who could beat He Ziang. If he really took action,
, this dagger is probably of no use except for killing oneself, and there is not even a chance to kill oneself.
Li Longqian smiled helplessly after seeing Ling Shiqing's actions, and then looked at the bright moonlight outside.
Ling Shiqing lay on the bed and struggled for a long time. She secretly opened a corner of the curtain and found that Li Longqian really had no intention of sleeping. He was sitting upright on the stool like an iron man.
"Are you really not sleeping?" Ling Shiqing's voice reached Li Longqian's ears through the curtain.
"Don't sleep." Li Longqian shook his head slightly.
"If you feel uncomfortable sleeping while sitting up, you can throw yourself on the floor with a quilt and sleep on it." Ling Shiqing said, looking at Li Longqian's pitiful appearance, and she couldn't bear to say it.
"No need, the guards are very drunk today. I guess if you call them if there is any danger later, they may not be able to hear you. I will keep an eye on you tonight." Li Long said as he spoke.
What comes to mind is Lan Aoxue's fairy-like appearance. It was in this inn that Lan Aoxue encountered danger.
Ling Shiqing was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then she slowly opened the curtain, stretched out her little head, looked at Li Longqian and said, "I didn't expect you to have such thoughts."
"I promised your father that if you can't reach the Shentian Peak safely, I will see him with my head raised."
Ling Shiqing smiled, then put down the curtain, lay on the bed and stared at the wooden board above. After looking at it for a while, Ling Shiqing opened her mouth and said, "This is the first time I have come out by myself."
"Yeah." Li Longqian agreed.
"This is also the first time I'm in the same room with a man."
"Um."
"Can you stop being so arrogant and say something that could kill you?" Ling Shiqing's tone was a little helpless.
"If you don't hurry up and get some sleep, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on after a long day of travel tomorrow." Li Longqian reminded him in a low voice.
After hearing this, Ling Shiqing quickly closed her eyes and stopped opening her mouth to speak.
