for evil

A round table made of nanmu wood, a pot of good Biluochun, two or three dishes of exquisite side dishes, soft bamboo curtains swaying in the wind, from time to time reflecting the rockery pool not far away outside, the nine-curved corridor, and the incense burning in the incense burner inside the house. The red sandalwood fragrance is floating faintly.

Yuan She had already dismissed his servants, and there were only three people sitting opposite each other in the room.

Holding the wine, Chen Ye looked at the two people in front of him and said, "It's only one drink away, this situation really seems to be in the sky."

Yuan She said: "Who said it wasn't? I was really shocked when I saw that it was you two who were trapped."

Mu Qing said: "Speaking of... who is that Taoist priest in the cell?"

Yuan She took a sip of tea and said, "He! The spy who was caught by the tower two days ago didn't say anything when asked. Later, he was imprisoned by the city lord for a few days, and for some reason, he went crazy! He is so stupid! , I can’t ask anything. I thought that since he could come, there might be accomplices behind him, so I’ll lock him up first and see if I can catch them. I didn’t think so, and I caught you.”

Chen Ye put a chopstick fish into his mouth, chewed and asked, "I just heard from the two sycophants who came with you that you are a celebrity in front of the city lord?"

Yuan She straightened his chest and said, "Of course."

Chen Ye said: "You don't live your leisurely life honestly in the sky, why do you think of coming here?" Chen Ye glanced at Mu Qing who was drinking tea with her eyes closed: "Don't say that you are also afraid that I will bring another monkey , It’s embarrassing to go up with a chicken or something, come down and help me.”

Mu Qing choked, covered her mouth and coughed.

Yuan She said: "I don't have the leisure time to help you. I can't protect myself. Originally, Dong Yin said that he had a matter for me to handle, but you also know that we have a lot of people in the human world. It’s because there’s no one in charge, everyone’s life is either walking birds or gossiping, and no one wants to respond to something, so of course I didn’t agree to Dongyin. I avoided it for two days by claiming my illness. Guess what happened later?”

Chen Ye snorted coldly: "Do you still need to guess? It must be something wrong with Dongyin to force you to submit?"

Yuan She said: "That's not true, it has nothing to do with Dongyin." Yuan She looked into Chen Ye's eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Side narrow came out."

Chen Ye's hand holding the chopsticks couldn't help but pause, slow down, and pretended to be calm, holding the shrimp beside him: "At the beginning, the Emperor of Heaven punished him to meditate in the Moonfall Palace for 300 years, and the time has come. After that incident, the Emperor of Heaven He should not be allowed to be the head of the human affairs division anymore, just be careful not to offend him."

Yuan She said: "That's what I said, but you and I were both present when that incident happened. He lost control and hurt me, and later it was your own hands..."

Chen Ye said: "Have you met before? He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Yuan She sighed: "I've touched it. I happened to bump into him when I was walking around, and he nodded to me. It's very normal. But it's nothing, and I feel something is wrong in my heart. Under embarrassment , I went to find Dongyin myself and agreed to his coming to Pengcheng."

Chen Ye frowned, and said in a low voice: "I don't know if he has figured it out in the past 300 years."

Mu Qing turned to look at Chen Ye, and said, "Even if he can't figure it out, he can't do anything, seek revenge on you? Reenact what happened 300 years ago?"

Chen Ye sighed: "Oh, that's all, let's not mention him." Then he said to Yuan She: "Why did Dong Yin let you come to Pengcheng this time?"

Yuan She put down his chopsticks: "That is to say, Pengcheng is a bit strange. Actually, it wasn't Dongyin who came looking for me, he came to look for me for Yan Yu."

Chen Ye said: "Yan Yu? What happened to him? Why did Dong Yin come to you?"

Yuan She said: "Dong Yin faltered, saying that he did something sorry for Yan Yu after drinking, and ran errands for him to atone for his sins..."

Chen Ye was overjoyed, and turned to look at Mu Qing, who also had an inexplicable smile hidden in the corner of Mu Qing's mouth.

Chen Ye asked Yuan She: "When did it happen?"

Yuan She made the calculations and said: "The first time he came to look for me was probably less than a week after you went to Bianzhou."

Chen Ye and Mu Qing looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Yuan She was confused: "Ah?"

Chen Ye said: "It's nothing...Go on, what does Yan Yu want from you?"

Yuan She said: "Dong Yin said that when Yan Yu sorted out the information, he found that the fate of Pengcheng should not have been like this."

Chen Ye said seriously: "How do you say?"

Yuan She said: "You also know that the human world is a mutual transformation of 'harmony' and 'chaos'. After a few years of peace and a few years of chaos, it is just the norm in the world. Now it is the time of troubled times, and at least this situation will continue to prevail." It lasted for a hundred years. Whether it is a person or a city, it should be ups and downs. But Pengcheng has maintained peace for 40 years in the chaotic world."

Chen Ye said: "I also heard about this when I came here."

Yuan She said: "Although there will be powerful people or cities that can maintain peace for many years in troubled times, Yan Yu read the fate of Pengcheng, and it shouldn't be so. He said that Pengcheng should have been destroyed 40 years ago. Cai Guo annexed it, and even slaughtered the city, leaving no one behind."

Chen Ye thought for a while: "Usually this kind of situation..."

Mu Qing said: "Generally, in this case, it is only possible that someone in the city artificially changed Pengcheng's fate."

Chen Ye nodded: "In addition to being friendly with the god who is in charge of fate, he changed it casually, but someone used forbidden techniques or something."

Yuan She said: "Of course it is impossible to have friendship, and Yan Yu doesn't seem to be able to go through the back door. Then there is only the forbidden technique. And the people in the underworld also said that there are many lives in Pengcheng that should have been killed recently, but they are still alive." A living person. And I remember two years ago when Master Boluo returned to the Heaven Realm after finishing his business, he said that he felt a ghost aura when he passed by Pengcheng, and you still made fun of him for being afraid of ghosts..."

Chen Ye blushed: "It seems that there is such a thing."

Yuan She said: "So, I'll check it out."

Chen Ye said: "Then why did you become a celebrity in front of the King of Pengcheng?"

Yuan She said meaningfully: "This matter is a bit complicated to say. Two months ago, I went down to earth according to the original plan. Before, I couldn't sleep because I was always thinking about the narrow side. At that time, I just sat on the cloud head. , I felt drowsy, and then I fell asleep, and when I tilted my head, I fell down."

Chen Ye clicked his tongue: "Didn't you fall?"

Yuan She said: "It's a coincidence that when I fell down, I had already reached Pengcheng, right on top of Pengcheng's head, and before landing, I was supported by a huge maple tree and smashed a desk. But other than a little bruise, nothing."

Chen Ye said embarrassingly: "Unfortunately..."

Yuan She ignored him, and continued: "That's not the point. The point is that there are still a group of people standing under the maple tree. I'm fine, but they were so frightened that they fainted on the spot."

Chen Ye said: "What happened later?"

Yuan She said: "Later... Later I got up, patted the soil, and said hello to the person standing in the front who seemed to be quite dignified, and then I felt as if I had knocked on the head just now. When it was dark, I didn’t know anything, and when I woke up, I was in the palace. I found out later that it happened that Pengcheng King Fang Ya was worshiping his ancestors at Yunlong Mountain in the south of the city that day, and I happened to smash his ancestor worship table.”

Chen Ye took a sip of tea: "You smashed the platform where he worshiped his ancestors. Not only did he not blame you, but he even made you his confidant? Is this Fang Ya sick?"

Yuan She glared at Chen Ye.

Mu Qing tilted her head and asked, "He didn't doubt that you fell from the sky?"

Yuan She said: "Of course I will ask. I said that I am a cultivator. I have cultivated a little bit of ability to ride clouds and fog, but it is still relatively superficial. If I don't use it well, I will fall down. After all, there are many sects of cultivating immortals these days. They also believed it. Fang Ya asked me to stay in the mansion for a while, and said that he would send me back to the sect when I recovered from my injuries."

Chen Ye said: "So? How did he fall in love with you?"

Yuan She said: "In the current troubled times, wars are raging everywhere. Although the king of Pengcheng has no ambitions in this regard, he can't help but be located in a dangerous place and be coveted by neighboring countries. Lu Guo in the north and Cai Guoming in the south are fighting against each other. Fighting, but the drunkard's intention is not to drink, the eyes of the two countries are all fixed on Pengcheng. Although the Yan State in the west has been standing still, it has kept its eyes open and guarding the opportunity. Now Pengcheng seems to be coveted by all parties. A piece of fat, although Fang Ya is calm on the face, but he is actually suffering. Mingli of the Three Kingdoms does not dare to do anything, but he is doing things in secret, silently planting a lot of eyes in Pengcheng, wanting to know the situation in Pengcheng .I just came down to earth, and I fell a bit badly. I was still a little acclimatized at the time, so I liked to take advantage of no one sitting on the roof to enjoy the wind. I happened to meet a dubious person who climbed over the wall and was caught by me. I took it to Fang Ya, and after interrogating, I found out that it was sent by Cai Guo. I followed the plan and said that it would be better to pull out the person behind him, and then helped to come up with an idea to set up a trap, and a plot was made. Later, there were many such things, and Fang Ya gradually kept me by his side to do things.

"

Mu Qing nodded: "That's it."

Yuan She said: "My story is over, how about you? Why did you come to Pengcheng?"

Chen Ye sighed: "Hi! I didn't do the evil thing, I came here following the news."

Mu Qing pointed at Chen Ye with her chin propped up: "I'm here to look for him."

Yuan She said: "How did you find it in the prison?"

Chen Ye sighed: "It's a long story! But now that I've come to Pengcheng following the hexagram of Dongyin, I didn't feel any trace of evil. But when I came, I felt that the nine-story building next to the palace There was a ghostly aura on the pagoda, but I couldn't feel it when I got closer. But I'm still a little worried, can you take us in and have a look at it sometime?"

Yuan She frowned: "I was a little skeptical about that pagoda when I came here. But Fang Ya took me in later, and I've seen it inside. It's a place to train elite soldiers, and there's nothing special about it."

Chen Ye paused when he heard this, and almost dropped the teacup: "Have you been there before? Fang Ya treats you too..."

Just as he was talking, someone knocked on the door outside and said, "Young Master Yuan, the city lord is here!"
