This prince is a little sweet

He approached the moat, bent down, picked up a lotus lantern from it, and played with it for a while before slowly opening his mouth and said: "Imitate the first emperor, use mercury as a river, and mermaids to light the lamp. He wants to help Hu Yan Do you seek so-called immortality?"

As he spoke, he lightly extinguished the lotus lantern in his hand, curled the corners of his mouth playfully as if he had encountered something ridiculous, and said, "This is an interesting idea, but even the first emperor never did it back then. , if you want to touch immortality, the doorway is not like this."

After hearing this, Wei Xuan paused for a moment, and nodded as if feeling quite touched, and then said: "That's right, the standard here is the same at first glance. But this kind of psychology is not incomprehensible, after all, any Every dynasty wants to be immortal, without exception. And every generation of emperors, be they stupid or wise, are actually striving for this way. However, life has a definite number. Lord Hou, if the so-called immortality exists, it must be used Sacrifice and blood in exchange for..."

There seemed to be some overtones in their words, and the two looked at each other, each speechless.

At this time, from the wooden door that Xiao Heng and the others came in just now, two guards escorted a man who looked like a peasant and walked in. The peasant was dressed in coarse linen clothes and had a disheveled face. When he saw Xiao Heng and his party, he flinched He curled up into a ball, as if he saw some ghost, and didn't even dare to breathe.

A guard reported: "Master Hou, we found this man during our search just now. He is hiding on the top floor of the Jade Tower, and it is very difficult to find him. Besides, he is the only one left in the entire Jade Tower."

Xiao Heng was a little surprised, and said, "He's the only one left? Why?"

The guard replied: "According to what he said, in Prince Yu's Mansion, Yulou is already a place of death that everyone can't avoid. Except for Yatumu and us, no one has been willing to step in for a long time... "

After Xiao Heng heard this, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart, but he didn't show this uneasiness on his face. Instead, he calmly gave the peasant a glance.

I think it was because he lived in a high position all the year round, and he was often not angry and pretentious. The civilian husband seemed to see the infinite chill from that look, and he was so frightened that he knelt down quickly, trembling, and said: "My lord, forgive me, my lord, please forgive me!" Ah, the villain doesn't know anything, the villain is just a grassroots person, just looking at this jade building for King Yu, opening and closing the door on time, and I don't know anything else..."

Xiao Heng said slowly: "You don't have to be afraid, you can answer whatever I ask you."

The man muttered, faltering and saying: "But...but the villain is really just a janitor, how can I know what you want to know, you really think highly of me..." Seeing his tears are about to fall out.

Xie Yuan couldn't bear to watch him standing next to him. He thought about it for a while, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he walked to the man's side, rolled up his sleeves, and exposed a small part of his arm.

On the fair arm is a painting of a beautiful woman drawn with cinnabar, it is exactly the one that Xu Jitang carried every day when he died.

Xie Yuan said to the man: "You don't have to be afraid, just say what you know. You see, you should also recognize this sign. I'm from Luoxue Villa, and I will definitely protect you from death. If you don't want to stay in this place, I can also take you out, presumably staying outside is much happier than staying inside."

He already looked a little boyish and cute, and he had a sweet smile when he spoke. Perhaps the peasant felt that he was kind and amiable, and he didn't look like a bad person, so he hesitated a little.

Xie Yuan didn't urge him, he just let him twist his sleeves.After some time, the civilian husband seemed to have finally figured it out, and said not too quickly: "I said it, I said it, I said it all! However, after I have said it, the adults can definitely save the villain, otherwise, His Royal Highness King Yu will definitely not let me go!"

As he said that, he wiped his sweat, with a look of horror on his face, and continued: "A few months ago, His Royal Highness King Yu hired many people to refine private mines here. This is a common thing. Usually, King Yu His Highness will also do it, and everyone in the palace knows it well. But this time, a strange thing happened, that is, every ten days or so, all those men who refine private mines in the jade building will die in the jade building. At that time, even in the middle of the night, I could hear them screaming!"

"I bravely ran to open the door several times to see what was going on, but I couldn't open it, and I went to look for it the next morning...all of those people couldn't even leave a corpse! And the most terrifying What's more, during this period, no suspicious people entered the Jade Tower, and even if one or two people entered, it is impossible to kill dozens of people at once!"

"Of course, these men are not completely dead. There are still a few people who survive each time. They basically all work on the top floor of the Yulou. I don't know what kind of gods have blessed there... Bah, it can't be like this Said, bless the gods of bullshit, in fact, even if these guys were lucky enough to be assigned to the top floor and did not die, they all went crazy after they came out! Not even a single hair was found!"

The man sighed, and said again: "Tell me what this is called! I think it's probably haunted here! Although His Royal Highness King Yu won't let us talk nonsense, he actually thinks so in his heart, or else it would be so How can a living person disappear from the world? But even though he never comes here again, he still wants to recruit civilians to make money for him by refining mines, after all, the lives of us ordinary people are worthless!"
