"My name is Shanran, who are you?"

Shu Yierha took a step forward. She is now wearing the Manchu costumes that she usually wears, and she wears a lot of gemstone jewelry on her head. She looks very gorgeous. Someone picked up a mirror with illusion, is that what you left behind?"

"Mirror? My mirror?" Shan Ran suddenly became agitated. She ignored the fear of being endangered by the eldest son, so she couldn't restrain her emotions and took a few steps forward: "Give me back my mirror."

"The mirror is not in our hands."

"You liar! Since you know about the mirror, it must be in your hands. Return it to me quickly!" When talking about excitement, Shan Ran suddenly raised the palace lantern, and through the light, everyone finally saw Shan Ran clearly. stained appearance.

With crescent eyebrows and green daisy, small cherry mouth, and a pair of cut pupils, just like her voice, this is a very lovable woman.It's just that her current expression is extremely ferocious, her hair is flying around, her eyes are faintly bloodshot, and her voice has become extremely sharp, "Tell me! Where did the mirror go!"

The eldest son immediately stood in front of Tang Qi and told him, "Stay away, she is angry."

"Calm down!" Shu Yierha shouted loudly like a bell, every word exploded in Danran's mind, and immediately interrupted her, her long hair fell down, the blood in her eyes gradually receded, Shanran was As if he had been hit hard, he languished.

Shu Yierha looked at Dan Ran and said sincerely: "We really don't know where that mirror is, but we can help you find it, so don't get excited, okay?"

Shanran asked unwillingly: "Why should I trust you?"

"It's because we can kill you directly." The eldest son said lightly, watching her different pupils light up slightly: "But we didn't do that. In addition, because of him..." The eldest son pointed at Tang Qi with his tail, "He is a staff member of the underworld, so you should be able to rest assured when the underworld does things?"

He directed Tang Qie and said, "Show them your work permit."

Before Luo Jing left this time, he left a small metal pendant for Tang Qie, saying that it was his work card, and there were two small seal characters engraved on the pendant. Just put it on the keychain as a pendant, he took out the key and shook it at Danran.

Sure enough, the name of the underworld can deceive people. When Shan Ran saw the work card, her attitude immediately eased a lot. When she looked at Tang Qie again, there was a trace of awe in her eyes.

"Are you taking me back to hell?"

Tang Qi shrugged and said, "As long as you don't disturb others, we won't disturb you either."

"I didn't harm others. That mirror was left by A Ji. I won't give it to others." Shan Ran lowered her head and muttered to herself. After reading for a while, she raised her head and looked at Tang Qie and asked: " Since you are from the underworld, you must know where Aji is, right? Is he still alive?"

Tang Qi asked slowly: "First of all, you have to tell me who A Ji is."

The eldest son and the others couldn't help but give Tang Qie an appreciative look during their communication, not to mention that this kid is quite capable.

The eldest son suddenly said: "You live in this illusion?"

"Yes."

"But with your magic power, you have no ability to build such an environment, so this illusion has something to do with Aji?"

"He built it for me specially." Shan Ran said sadly: "At that time, there were constant wars here, and I didn't want to see those scenes where the wives were separated, so I wanted to find a place to hide. Aji helped me build it." After entering such an illusion, he told me that as long as I live here, I won’t be able to see those things.”

"How long have you lived in the illusion?"

Shan Ran shook his head, "Decades? Hundreds of years? I don't remember. I rarely go to see the outside world. I only know that as long as I leave, the outside world will undergo earth-shaking changes, so I don't want to out."

Shu Yierha asked: "Then why did you come out today?"

"Because my mirror is gone..." Shan Ran said sadly: "The mirror is the only thing A Ji left me, but it suddenly disappeared. A Ji told me before that the mirror was inherited from their family Something, that mirror can sense him, so I thought it was Aji who was coming back, and I have been waiting for him these days."

"A Ji is a person?"

"Yes."

The eldest son analyzed very calmly: "Then you should be very clear that you have stayed here for so long, and according to the lifespan of a person, he would not be able to live today."

"No, A Ji said he would come back, he said let me wait for him, he will definitely come back."

"Even if he came back, he was reincarnated a long time ago, how could he remember you?"

"No, Ah Ji won't lie to me, he will definitely do what he promised me, I don't believe you." Shan Ran cast his gaze on Tang Qi, "You won't lie to me, right, please?" You tell me what's going on here?"

Tang Qi comforted her: "My name is Tang Qi, don't worry, let's take our time."

Shan Ran looked at Tang Qie and nodded slowly. It was strange to say that Tang Qie always gave people a feeling that he was worthy of being a newcomer.

Shan Ran has been isolated from the world in the illusion for so many years, and has already forgotten how to get along with people. It is rare to come and see, and she will be put back by the huge changes and the fear of the crowd.

Just now when she first saw so many strangers, she was very nervous, but after seeing Tang Qie, this feeling will be relieved a lot, and when she thinks that he is a staff member of the underworld, Shan Ran's trust in him It will be higher.

"Ah Ji gave you the mirror?"

"Yes."

"The reason why he gave you this mirror is because this mirror can tell you when he will come back."

"He told me so."

"But he didn't tell you clearly when he will come back, so all you can do is wait for him in the illusion by guarding this mirror?"

"Before he left, he told me that there was a major incident in his family. He needed to deal with it. It might take a long time, so he asked me to stay here and wait for him."

"And what if someone asks you to leave? Have you ever considered that?"

"No." Shan Ran kept shaking his head and said: "Aji said that this place is safe, and other ghosts will not find it here. If someone enters here by mistake, I can scare them away directly."

Tang Qi suddenly remembered that he had heard a rumor since he was a child that a ghost hit a wall in Baiyun Mountain.

Now it seems……

"So if someone gets close to the illusion, you will try to scare them away?"

"Yeah." Shan Ran anxiously defended himself: "I just used some illusion to scare them, I never hurt anyone!"

"I believe you."

"Um……"

The eldest son interrupted abruptly: "You have always called that man A Ji. Since he is a human being and can set up illusions, he must be a very powerful demon subduer. Do you know what his full name is?"

"His name is Qu Ji." Shan Ran replied very seriously, "Qu Ji with a winding path leading to secluded places, Ji of brother and uncle Ji."

"Surname Qu? Since his name is Ji, then he is the youngest son in their family?"

Shan Ran's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "He told me so. Why, do you know Aji too?"

"I know someone...but I don't know if it's the one you know..." The eldest son was about to say something, but Shanran suddenly cried out in panic: "I've been out for too long, and if I don't go back to the entrance of the illusion, I'm going to die." closed."

Now it was the eldest son's turn to be surprised, he asked: "Is there a time limit for entering and exiting this illusion?"

Shan Ran nodded, "Yes, I can only leave for a short time every day, and only I can open the entrance." She was afraid that she would not be able to go back in time, so she hurriedly said to the eldest son: "I don't have time, we Can you make an appointment? Come to me at this time tomorrow, and I will take you into the illusion, can we talk about it in detail?"

"Can't you do it today?"

Shan Ran shook his head and said, "The entrance is not here, it needs to be far away. I really don't have time."

"Okay, then we will wait for you tomorrow."

Shan Ran saluted everyone, especially showing a grateful smile to Tang Qie before leaving.

The eldest son said at this time: "Let's go back too." His expression looked very serious, as if something bad had happened.

Edward also knew that he felt the seriousness of the atmosphere, so he didn't continue to be a demon. They quickly found a flat terrain and summoned Ye Qi to quickly return to Naihe Restaurant.

However, the restaurant was brightly lit, and the two brothers, Black and White, were waiting in the lobby. When they saw everyone, they immediately went up to greet them.

"How? Did you find anything?"

Shu Yierha replied: "Not only have I found it, but I also feel that it is a big trouble."

Bai Wuchang immediately became nervous: "What happened? Someone has already been killed?"

"That's not true, but we have indeed found the owner of the mirror."

"Isn't that good? The opponent is very powerful, you didn't get it back?"

"That's not the point." Shu Yierha briefly described the matter. As soon as she finished speaking, the expressions of Black, White and Wuchang both changed.

Edward looked at the crowd in confusion, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Isn't this a very sad and desolate story? Why do you look like it's a conspiracy?"

Then he tried to ask Tang Qie for a sense of approval, "Friend, don't you think so?"

"Let's listen to what they say first." Although Tang Qi didn't know much about the affairs in their circle, judging from his conversation with Dan Ran, he also faintly felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

Bai Wuchang asked the eldest son: "Old ancestor, that female ghost said that the surname of the person who built the illusion was Qu. Could it be... the Qu family?"

"I really know a Qu family named Qu Ji, and he can indeed create an environment with his ability, but..." The eldest son was very uncertain in his words.

"But what's the matter?" Shu Yierha urged him impatiently: "Can you finish the sentence at once?"

"But that person is already dead."

Shu Yierha asked: "How did you die?"

"How do I know, maybe he died of illness, maybe he died of old age." The eldest son tilted his head and replied indifferently: "I don't know him very well, but I have heard rumors about him all the time. I found a genius who is rare in a hundred years. I have met him a few times. It is true that he is very talented. He can compete with the ancestors of the Qu family. I know how many times I have been reincarnated. So I am not sure if the A Ji in her mouth is the song Ji I know."

Shu Yierha analyzed: "The Qu family's specialty is the magic circle, and it makes sense to construct an illusion. I think Danran's words and deeds do seem to have been isolated from the world for a long time, so even if she stays in that illusion 1000 years, isn't that unreasonable?"

"Then it should be Qu Ji who lied to her?" Bai Wuchang said quite naturally: "Since Qu Ji specially built an illusion for that female ghost, he must want her to live a good life and lie to her that she will come back. , isn't it normal to give her hope?"

"But why is it there?" The eldest son asked: "The Qu family is thousands of miles away from here. If you really want to take care of her, why don't you take her back? Instead, you want to cultivate the illusion in this corner ?”

Now Bai Wuchang also became uncertain, he said hesitantly: "Maybe it's... time is urgent?"

The eldest son glanced at him: "Do you know how long it takes to build an illusion?"

"……Uh……"

Hei Wuchang asked: "Could it be because of the location, this place is very important to her, that's why it was built here?"

"I can't rule out this possibility." The eldest son said to Bai Wuchang earnestly: "Look at your brother, do you know why you haven't been able to get promoted after working for more than 1000 years?"

"Grandpa, don't tease me." Bai Wuchang said with a sad face, "I know I'm not smart, but this is too difficult!"

"The point is not that you are not smart, the point is that you are not smart and you are acting stupid. This matter is obviously not as simple as it seems. It is not that you have never dealt with the Qu family. They would be so kind to help a female ghost to build a costly Is it the environment of Zhenbao? There must be something else.”

"Maybe it's true love," Edward said.

"Then why didn't he go to Shan Ran after he died? With his ability, there is no difficulty in escaping from ghosts and ghosts. Both of them have become ghosts. Wouldn't it be better to live together in the illusion?"

"This..." Edward scratched his head, expressing that he couldn't figure it out.

The eldest son suddenly looked at Tang Qi. Tang Qi had only said one sentence since he came in. Perhaps from the perspective of an outsider, he could find more clues.

"What do you think?"

After thinking for a long time, Tang Qi replied: "I also agree with the question Shu Yierha said. Shanran wants to escape the suffering of the world, so it would be better to live in the deep mountains and old forests. Why is it in Baiyun Mountain? So I think This location is indeed a key point, but is there such a possibility? This place is not very important to Dan Ran, but to that season?"

Everyone gasped, and the Eldest Young Master had a look of surprise in his eyes, "Go ahead."

"You have all heard the conversation I had with Shan Ran before. Shan Ran firmly believed that Qu Ji would come back to find her, that's why she stayed in the illusion for so long. Let's change our thinking. Could it be because Qu Ji is In order to let Shan Ran stay in the environment, that's why I told her that I would come back, but in fact he won't come back?"

"It's possible." The eldest son suddenly raised his voice: "She said that there is a time limit for entering and exiting the environment, which is very strange in itself. I have never heard of anyone setting up such a thing in the illusion. I I thought it was Qu Ji trying to protect Shan Ran, but now it seems that it is more like ensuring that Shan Ran will not leave the illusion for too long."

"And Danran specifically mentioned that Qu Ji asked her to drive away the approaching humans, which looked very much like she was trying to cover up something."

"It makes sense." Shu Yierha nodded in agreement: "It is most useful to exchange feelings for a woman's loyalty."

"This is simply too despicable!" Edward reprimanded with righteous indignation: "How can there be such a despicable human being in the world to use emotions to deceive girls."

The eldest son said very calmly: "Human beings are like this, just get used to it."

Tang Qie showed a slightly unnatural expression, but recovered quickly.

"I feel that my conscience has been polluted." Edward clutched his chest sadly. "Although this incident is not bloody and violent, I feel that the damage I received is no less than this."

Tang Qi said, "But there is one more problem."

"what?"

"If Shanran didn't lie, what we said was true, but why didn't the mirror disappear?"

"It's very easy to explain." The eldest son explained: "The mirror should be the magic weapon of the Qu family. Those who have the same blood can sense or manipulate it."

"So the mirror was taken away by the Qu family?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Then what is this for? Don't they need to be alone in the environment?"

Tang Qi suddenly thought of something, and his expression turned cold: "I met Chen Shen at school."

Everyone said in unison: "Who is this?"

The eldest son replied: "A bastard who doesn't know how to live or die, why did you meet him again?"

"When I met him, he seemed to be a little suspicious of a student in our college, and that student was also surnamed Qu." Tang Qie felt that his thoughts suddenly became clear, and everything seemed to have a reason to explain.

"He seems to be called Qu Ji, but I don't know if it's the person we're talking about."
