City Z is only more than 100 kilometers away from City X. Ye Changsheng and He Jiuzhong set off at 09:30 in the morning and arrived at their destination before lunch time.

Ye Changsheng asked for Zhang Siyuan's mobile phone number from his former classmates, but no matter how many times he called, no one answered. In desperation, the two of them could only sit back and wait, and went directly to the wedding banquet mentioned on the invitation. There was a room in the hotel, and I stayed in it for the time being.

He Jiuzhong took the room card and went back to the room first, and waited for about 10 minutes before Ye Changsheng strolled up again.Walked over to open the door for him, and glanced at him: "What did you ask at the front desk?"

Ye Changsheng closed the door, waved his hand and said casually, "I didn't ask anything."

He Jiuzhong raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he felt a little strange: "So there are things you can't ask?"

Ye Changsheng turned his head to look at him, and said confidently: "I am a magician, not a member of the criminal investigation team, and it is not my job to press this matter." Then he smiled slightly with his lips bent, "But , can’t ask anything, in a sense, isn’t it just another kind of news?”

He Jiuzhong hooked his lips and said, "It seems that your friend has encountered a lot of trouble this time."

"Who knows." Ye Changsheng shrugged, walked to the side of the bed and lay down on his back: "I'm not good at learning, so I can only see some fragmented scenes in the 'Water Mirror Peeping People', but fortunately, the other end It’s still alive and kicking.”

After speaking, he lay down on his side again, looked at He Jiuzhong who was walking towards him with his face propped up on one hand, and said with a heartless smile: "Anyway, the wedding is tomorrow, so go and have a look at that time and you'll understand what's going on The situation."

He Jiuzhong walked up to him and sat down, looking down at him: "Then what are you going to do now?"

Ye Changsheng rolled on the bed, stretched out his hand to grab the pillow at hand and put it on his head, without blushing or panting: "It's such a beautiful weather, what other options do we have besides taking a nap, my dear?"

He Jiuzhong smiled, "I remember you said the same thing when the weather was bad last time."

"Yes." Ye Changsheng looked at him confidently, "I think all weathers are especially suitable for sleeping."

He Jiuzhong looked at him for a long time, hooked his lips and said meaningfully: "If you used this energy to rest and follow that celestial master to learn spells, now you won't even have the 'water mirror peeping technique' They are not used well."

"Don't talk nonsense. When I was following Master to study the Fa, I worked so hard that my head would be pierced!" Ye Changsheng raised his paw to protest when he heard He Jiuzhong's words, and said indignantly, "I The reason why he is not good at learning is because the old man died early, and he didn't have time to hand over all his skills to me, so I got into such a miserable situation."

Hearing this, the other end smiled playfully in its scarlet eyes, although it didn't make a sound, it seemed that it didn't believe his sophistry.

"Really!" Ye Changsheng seemed to be remembering something, his brows were slightly frowned, and his expression seemed to be a little painful, "You don't understand my suffering... I have always suspected that he is a sadist, and he just gets pleasure from seeing other people's misfortunes the kind!"

Ye Changsheng complained: "Every time he assigns homework, as long as I neglect a little bit, he will catch the ghost and come back and show me how to kill a ghost! I was not even ten years old at that time!"

When He Jiuzhong heard the words, his expression was slightly subtle, and he chuckled in a playful way: "Your master seems to be an interesting person after hearing you say that."

"No, no, as a victim, I really assure you that those wonderful experiences are definitely not worth remembering." Ye Changsheng shook his hand desperately, and after finishing speaking, he frowned as if he thought his attitude was not tough enough. Chasing and adding, "Really, you believe me!"

He Jiuzhong raised his eyebrows, and sat on the bed: "You said that after your parents died, you started following that celestial master. What about after he died? You just lived alone?"

"How is it possible? I was only ten years old at that time. Even if I wanted it myself, the country would not agree."

Ye Changsheng propped himself up on the pillow with his elbows, his legs dangled and hooked back slightly, with a smile on his face, but his expression was calm: "Later I was sent to the local Orphanage - oh, the 'welfare home' is an organization here that accepts orphans, and Zhang Siyuan and I, the unlucky bridegroom this time, also met when I was still in the orphanage."

He Jiuzhong asked, "Then why did you come to City X?"

Ye Changsheng blinked and squinted at him: "Why, do you want to investigate the household registration?"

"Can't you investigate?" The other end was not embarrassed at all when asked, he leaned back, leaned against the head of the bed, looked back calmly, and said lightly, "I want to know something about you, Can't you?"

Ye Changsheng hugged the pillow and laughed, and after a while he said: "Yes, yes, but there is an information fee!" He turned his eyes around He Jiuzhong again, "Seeing that you don't have a lot of money right now Come on, I will keep the account for you first, and I will pay it later."

As if recalling something, he said slowly: "Later, the orphanage almost closed down because it couldn't make ends meet, and our older children were forcibly kicked out. At that time, I still had a little bit left from my father. I also heard that a middle school in City X can enroll for free as long as the grades are excellent, so I moved here."

After finishing speaking, I couldn't help laughing again: "Speaking of which, those few years were really tossing, and the evening self-study class was over ten o'clock after class, which was just in time for the cloudy weather. I definitely couldn't go. I have no choice but to rent such a crappy house to do my day-study—I have to worry about money and ghosts, and I dare not sleep when there is any movement at night... Who else can be more miserable than me."

He Jiuzhong looked at Ye Changsheng, couldn't help but reached out and brushed a lock of short hair on his forehead and wrapped it around his fingers.

The boy's hair was half-length but not short, just long enough to wrap around his fingertips. The moment he let go, the soft hair spread out, and the tip of the hair brushed against his fingers slightly, giving him a slight tingling feeling.

"Ziyang Continent is divided into Kyushu and Demon Realm," He Jiuzhong said, casually chatting casually, "The vast majority of immortal cultivators and mortals who survive under their protection live in Kyushu, while the rest of demon cultivators, ghosts Xiu and even demon cultivators are imprisoned in the Demon Realm."

Ye Changsheng raised his eyelids and looked at him.

"I was expelled from Kyushu to the Devil Realm." He Jiuzhong smiled with his lips curled up, "Because I have evil intentions and harm my fellow disciples."

He lightly fiddled with the short hair of the person beside him with one hand, and continued: "The supreme secret book on cultivating immortality of Wan Jianzong was stolen, and the suzerain ordered the mountain to be closed for a thorough investigation. Finally, I found it in the storage bag of my house. It came out. The peak master of the judicial law led people to arrest me, but he was injured by me halfway, so that the suzerain was so angry that he personally abolished my inner alchemy and removed me from the Wanjian sect."

Ye Changsheng's expression was a little complicated.

"Why, you don't want to hear it anymore?" He Jiuzhong met Ye Changsheng's gaze and smiled softly, "This is the first time I've mentioned these things to others."

Ye Changsheng asked him, "Have you pleaded guilty?"

He Jiuzhong lowered his eyes halfway, and there was a strange glow in the scarlet pupils: "The evidence is solid, so what if you don't admit it?"

Ye Changsheng thought for a while, then asked again: "Then after you became a powerful demon cultivator, you didn't go back to seek revenge on the cultivator who framed you?"

"Revenge?" He Jiuzhong raised his lips and smiled, with a hint of arrogance in his expression: "If you take out his soul and throw it into the alchemy furnace and burn it for seven to 49 days, it is revenge." .”

Ye Changsheng slightly raised his head and looked at the cold profile of the person beside him, he suddenly laughed, shook his head and sighed: "Then after hearing what you said, I finally understand why you think my master is a Interesting people. In a way, you do have a common language."

He Jiuzhong turned his head halfway again, glanced lightly at the young man lying beside him with the end of his eyes, and touched his lips with his tongue to play with his taste: "Are you so sure that I was wronged at the beginning? I thought I was in your eyes He has always been a murderous villain."

Ye Changsheng nodded immediately when he heard the words, and looked at him sincerely: "You think that's right, the definition of 'kill without blinking' and 'villain' are very accurate! You really are."

He Jiuzhong frowned slightly.

The head turned over with the pillow in its arms, rolled to his side and stood next to him, looking up at him with a smile on its face: "So if the sequence in your story is reversed, for example, the peak that was seriously injured first Lord, take the secret book from him—then I probably have no doubts."

"The He Jiuzhong I know, if he does something bad, either let the whole world know that he did it, or completely destroy his body so that no one can catch his evidence." Ye Changsheng waved his hand, eyebrows curved The voice in the middle revealed a bit of disgust, "It's really stupid that people get stolen goods at the same time. If it's true, it will ruin the image of a generation of demons."

He Jiuzhong laughed.

At first it was just a low voice, then the smile deepened, and finally he leaned his head on the bed and laughed loudly.

Ye Changsheng didn't ask him why he was smiling, but leaned against him and grabbed the corner of the pillow in his arms. After an unknown amount of time, he heard a voice mixed with laughter and mockery from above.

"Ye Changsheng, it's a pity that there is only one you in this world."

After finishing speaking, he slid the hand on Ye Changsheng's hair down along the strands of his hair, from the corner of his eyebrows all the way down and stopped on the sharp chin, the bottom of his cold eyes was stained with a little indescribable Feeling warm, he almost sighed: "Fortunately, there is still you in this world."

Ye Changsheng also laughed.

He pulled the quilt over his body with his eyes half downcast, as if he was about to fall asleep. After a while, when He Jiuzhong thought he was already asleep, the other end suddenly opened his mouth: "Think about it now, luckily I have never been good at learning."

Having said that, he kept silent again, just looking at his black eyes faintly, mixed with a little genuine smile.

He Jiuzhong looked at him deeply, and felt that somewhere in his heart was desperately trying to break through the ground, the soreness and trembling throbbing seemed to be connected from the heart to the limbs Baiku, even his breath seemed to have a strange sweet smell.

He forcibly moved his eyes from Ye Changsheng to another place, looked at the painted paintings on the walls of the hotel, forcibly suppressed the bewildering throbbing in his heart, and lightly opened his mouth to complete the second half of Ye Changsheng's sentence : "So, everything stems from your lack of skill, and you prepared that strange summoning array in order to save your life."

Ye Changsheng thought of the "Introductory Summoning Technique" that he had thrown into the trash can, couldn't help but clicked his tongue, and said with a little distress: "It's a pity that I threw it too quickly."

He Jiuzhong looked at him with a half-smile, "Why, what do you want to summon?"

"How come, I'm just talking casually!" Ye Changsheng keenly caught the unpleasant breath from this sentence, he laughed, and quickly explained that he intended to fool people, "Time really doesn't matter. It's early, let's sleep for a while, let's sleep for a while!"

As he spoke, he lifted up the quilt covering his body until it covered half of his face, and a pair of exposed eyes swept around the body, as if he had discovered something Like a secret, it suddenly drooped down and bent into a lovely crescent shape.

"I said, dear." His voice was muffled through the quilt, "Have you noticed that recently you don't seem to use the noble and glamorous self-proclaimed 'real deity' in front of me?"

He Jiuzhong was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked around.

The man's whole body was buried under the quilt, only a pair of black eyes were exposed with a sly smile, and he looked a little inexplicably cute.

"Sleep! Good afternoon!"

After the other end touched a pool of spring water, he didn't care what was going on in his heart. He stretched out his little paw and waved at his head, then retracted and turned his back to him. After a while, he was really asleep. caught.

And Ye Changsheng, who was completely unconscious after falling asleep, naturally didn't know about the knot between the brows and the thoughtfulness in the eyes of Lord Mozun who had been lifted and thrown away.

He Jiuzhong knew that Ye Changsheng seemed different from others to him, but he himself didn't know how different he was.He turned his head sideways, listening to the long breathing sound, he had the illusion that the years had been quiet for a while.

He gave a short laugh, didn't want to meditate for a while, and sat looking at the back of the other side for a while, then stretched out his hand to lift the quilt, lay down and closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. He got up refreshed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. He came out and ordered another takeaway with He Jiuzhong. Notebook, hooked a chair with his feet and sat at the table, connected to the wireless and crackled on the keyboard as if he was looking for something.

He Jiuzhong walked over, and saw a huge blueprint covered the computer screen, with intricate and interlaced lines densely drawn on the blueprint, which made people a little dazzled.

"what is this?"

"The map of City Z." Ye Changsheng clicked the mouse from time to time while zooming in on a certain part of the drawing, and replied: "I tried it again with a water mirror before, maybe because it was closer, this time I looked at it again." It's a little more detailed than last time, and I vaguely seem to see—ah, I found it."

He muttered, then circled a certain place with a red circle according to the map, and then sent the address to the phone, then turned around, shook the phone with a smile at He Jiuzhong and said, "The place is not here. Far, before it's too late, let's hurry back?"

He Jiuzhong raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, when he suddenly seemed to think of something, the corners of his lips raised an inconspicuous arc and said, "Didn't you say at the beginning that if you know my name, you don't need to stick together all the time? "

Ye Changsheng pushed away the chair and stood up, leaned close to him and bumped his elbow, and said sweetly: "I'm afraid you won't be able to bear me if we separate."

"Oh?" The first and last syllable uttered a single syllable in response, and looked at him with half-down eyelids, with a slightly playful look in the eyes.

The boy on this end blinked, and for a while, as if he suddenly got up, he stretched out his hand to cover his chest and said with grief, "Are you really willing?"

He Jiuzhong looked at him with a half-smile, turned around and pulled the room card from the card slot on the wall: "Stop acting, let's go."

Because of the lack of a room card to get electricity, the lights in the room went out quickly.

Ye Changsheng, who was in the dark, slightly raised his eyelids and looked at the man standing at the door who was being haloed by the light. For some reason, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and then Immediately afterwards, he lowered his eyes and responded with a smile, and hurriedly followed.

Following the mobile phone navigation, the final destination they arrived at was an alley with a sense of age. They looked in along the narrow entrance of the alley, and when they were considering whether to go in and look for it, they met a middle-aged man. Prepare to enter the alley from the outside.

Holding up the flashlight, the man was startled when he saw the two of them, and then asked, "Brother looking for someone?"

Ye Changsheng immediately moved closer with a smile: "That's right, this place is very far away, and I went around several times but couldn't find it."

The man smiled and said enthusiastically, "I've lived in this alley for so many years, and the streets and alleys are all mature. Tell me who you want to find, and I will show you the way."

Ye Changsheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued to ask him with a smile: "Do you know any house near you that is going to have a wedding? I was invited by the groom, and I will come to pick up the bride tomorrow. He is confused and didn't tell me I can’t get in touch with the specific household of the bride. Hey, so you see, I can only come here in advance to find out the way.”

"Oh, your brother who is the groom is really confused about such a big matter!" The man nodded in response, and seemed to think about it, then frowned slightly, "It's just that you misremembered the place. There are only a few families in Hutong, and even fewer have children who are not yet married, but I have never heard of any family whose children will get married tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he sighed again: "Furthermore, we have a girl here who is going to be in her early seventies tomorrow. Even if someone wants to get married, the neighbors in the neighborhood will not choose this day to have a red-and-white collision."

When Ye Changsheng and He Jiuzhong heard this, they looked at each other for a while, then they took out a pack of cigarettes from their pockets, unpacked them, handed them over, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, what's going on? Brother, I don't know." Can you tell me about it?"

The man took the cigarette and put it on his ear, and he looked a bit pity: "That girl from the Liu family, named Liu Qian... is really a good girl. She grew up in the yard since she was a child. Hey, she is only 24 years old." , It’s gone if you say no.” He said again, “I heard that it was a falling object, she saved the little young man next to her, but she was crushed to death, her whole head was... hey.”

Hearing this, Ye Changsheng felt like a bright mirror in his heart. He chatted with the man again, got the address of Liu Qian's house in his hands calmly, then found an excuse to get away, and found it from the other side of the alley by detour. Liu Qian's home.

It was a small courtyard house with a high wall outside, the gate was closed tightly, and two plain white lanterns were hung on it. Candles were lit in the lanterns, and faint light shone through the plain white skin.

The two stood in front of the door for a while, He Jiuzhong glanced at Ye Changsheng: "Feel it?"

Ye Changsheng shook his head, thought for a while and took out a white talisman from his pocket, then took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and used his teeth to unscrew the mineral water to moisten the nib of the Langhao pen. When the nib melted, dip a little cinnabar on the white talisman A small name was written in it, and then the handwriting was dried and folded into a small paper crane.

"Go."

He held the Thousand Paper Crane in his palm and threw it upwards, only to see that the red eyes of the Paper Crane, which was originally just a dead thing, flashed red, as if it had suddenly come to life, swinging unsteadily in the air, and then it was Flapping its wings, it flew over the high wall towards the yard.

Seeing the paper crane flew for a while and then suddenly landed, it was completely hidden by the wall, so Ye Changsheng withdrew his gaze, stood outside the room and waited, and then seemed to sense something, the corners of his lips slightly He turned to He Jiuzhong and said, "Okay, people are still panting inside, it's okay, it's okay, let's take a taxi back."

"Aren't you going to see it yourself?" He Jiuzhong looked at him meaningfully: "You care so much about your so-called...'friend'?"

"If you go in, it's trespassing. Do you know that this is illegal and criminal?" Ye Changsheng nodded without any guilt, and said boldly: "Besides, you don't have any friends, so you don't know. Our real friends get along like this. of!"

He stretched out his hand and pushed him, urging him in a brisk voice: "The old alley is narrow and long, and dirt is most likely to appear at night, hurry up!"

He Jiuzhong glanced sideways at his heartless expression, then slightly raised his head to glance at the small courtyard house with white lanterns hanging there, which inexplicably tinged with a gloomy atmosphere, then looked away, and went out together following Ye Changsheng's intention. up the alley.
