Thousands of thoughts

In the early morning of the second day, Luo Leiyu came to visit him, but Bai You refused him behind closed doors.

As Huangfu Qing said, Luo Leiyu is not a good thing.Sure enough, when everyone was sleeping soundly that night, Luo Leiyu, who didn't want to let it go, sneaked into the White Mansion privately.But he was caught by Bai Zhan who was on patrol.

【In the middle of the night, Prince Youyou sneaked into my White Mansion without sleeping. I don't know how to explain it? 】 Baiyou asked.

[The national teacher doesn't see any visitors during the day, so I had to visit at night. ] Luo Leiyu was also calm, and turned to look at Huangfu Qing, who should not be here, and said [unexpectedly, the second prince is also here.It's so late, isn't the second prince going back to the palace? 】

[You don't need to worry about the prince's affairs. 】Huangfu Qing sarcastically replied 【As a prince but you do such a sneaky thing, Luo Leiyu, you are really different. 】

[Hehe~~~ I fell in love with Master Bai at first sight.Beauty always has to be put into action, and doing some sneaky things is nothing. 】

[You are so bold! 】

[Hehe~~~] Luo Leiyu completely ignored Huangfu Qing's anger, and asked Xiang with a calm face of worry [Since there is a guest, isn't the national teacher going to entertain him? 】

[You are simply...] Brazen!

Bai You raised her hand to stop Huangfu Qing's words, glanced at Luo Leiyu, turned around and ordered [Yanzi, prepare tea. 】

[Yes, son. 】

[Hehe~~~~ If so, then I will bother you. 】Luo Leiyu laughed and went to the hall to take a seat.

Although Huangfu Qing was angry in her heart, she had no choice but to follow Bai You into the house.

After a stick of incense, in the hall.

Luo Leiyu was the only one who talked eloquently, and he didn't seem to notice when everyone was sitting silently. His eyes were always on Baiyou and refused to move away. Bai You was calm and relaxed, sipping tea quietly.

Suddenly Baiyou's originally calm expression changed slightly.

There was a change in the pharmacy.

It's extremely slight, but it's still felt.Seeing Luo Leiyu who was beaming and talking vigorously, Baiyou remained calm and continued drinking tea.

Soon, the changes at the pharmacy stopped.

At this time, Luo Leiyu almost got up [I've been sorry for a long time, it's time for me to go back. 】

【Bai Zhan, escort Prince Mingyou back. ] Bai You didn't even open his mouth to keep people.

Before Bai Zhan could respond, Luo Leiyu refused [No, I still know the way back, thank you Master Bai for your concern.The tea from the National Teacher’s Mansion really has a unique taste, hehe~~~] looked at Baiyou ambiguously, then left with a big smile.

[It's too much, actually...] Huangfu Qing was furious, and knew that Luo Leiyu was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

【Second prince, don't be angry. 】In fact, Yan Zi is not angry, when will his young master be treated so frivolously.

[It's so late, you all go back to sleep. 】

【However, son...】

【Let him go. ] Glancing at the leaving figure, Bai You turned to Shiro behind him and said 【Follow me to the pharmacy. 】

When I came to the pharmacy, as soon as I opened the door, I was greeted with a burning smell, and white smoke was still rising from the corners of the rooms.

[Young master, this...] Shiro was surprised, why was the pharmacy stolen again?

[Since the whereabouts of the black shadow were discovered a few days ago, a Yin-eating array has been set up here.Didn't expect it to come in handy so soon. 】Bai You carefully inspected the situation in the house, the things were still neatly arranged, and there was no trace of movement, and then thought about the traces of the formation being broken,【One died, and one escaped. 】

Ever since it was found out that Hei Ying was involved with the Prime Minister's Mansion, Bai You always had doubts and speculations in his mind.In order to test and verify the guess in my heart, this formation was laid out.The Yin-eating Formation is more than enough to deal with ordinary ghosts. I don't want the formation to be broken and let the things that broke in escape.It seems that things are more complicated than I thought.

【The Yin Devouring Formation is so powerful that it can even kill ghosts, why can it escape? 】Shiro was puzzled. In his impression, the most powerful ghost he had ever killed was a ghost.It was precisely because of the scene where Bai You used the Yin-eating Array to kill ghosts by accident, that he was surprised and admired even more, that he recommended himself as a pharmacist in the White Mansion.

Ghost spirits are higher level ghosts than ghost messengers. They are good at invisibility, and their strength is several times stronger than ghost messengers, but they are no match for the power of the Yin Devouring Formation.

[That's because the escaped thing is strong enough to resist the Yin Devouring Formation. 】

[So powerful? 】

[Yes.Because it was Onizu who escaped. 】 Baiyou frowned, turned around and said.

[Ghost seat!No wonder the formation was broken, but I didn't hear any movement. 】Shiro's eyes widened.

In the ghost family, the ghost seat is a higher-level ghost than the ghost spirit.According to legend, among the ghost clan, there are only six ghost seats.Now, even the Ghost Seat was dispatched.

I have never encountered such a powerful opponent.Although I know that Fenggui Mingyi is also a ghost seat, but because they are not hostile, I have never seen them really powerful.But just based on the ghost festival day, seeing the scene of them killing little ghosts with my own eyes, I feel frightened.

Thinking of Fenggui Mingyi, where have they been these past few days, and why have they been missing?

Shiro was confused.

Bai You carefully checked the inconspicuous corners around the pharmacy, his black jade-like eyes flashed.Why is the timing of Luo Leiyu's appearance so coincidental?Although the current situation is not as good as he had expected, it is a blind cat catching dead mice and reaping unexpected results.

After hesitating for a while, Shiro finally decided to open his mouth and uttered his question [Young Master, Fenggui Mingyi is also a Ghost Seat. Can't even beat the mutated ghost corpse? 】

Baiyou turned his head to look over, but didn't make a sound right away, after checking around the pharmacy, he asked [Is there any more fragrance-free powder? 】

【Have. 】

[Prepare some and put them in the outer hall.Starting tomorrow, you will move to Baiqingyuan first. 】

【Yes. 】

After coming out of the pharmacy, Bai You went to Bai Chuan's room, thinking that she was busy with other things recently and didn't pay much attention to him.

When he entered the door, Bai Zuo was sleeping soundly on his back with his limbs wide open, with a childlike sleeping face, and all the quilts fell on the ground.

After all, he is a ten-year-old child, playful and active by nature, ignorant of world affairs.However, some things are destined to be borne, so don't blame yourself for being harsh and ruthless.

Sighing lightly, Bai You leaned over to pick up the quilt, covered him up again, and wrapped his restless hands in the quilt.

When I came out, I looked up and saw the ghost's room, which was next to the white tree room.How could I not know what Shiro said just now?The high-ranking ghost king can't even beat the lowest-level mutated ghost corpses, and his skills are almost lost. Why?

I haven't found anything for so long, but I have exposed my weaknesses. When did I become so careless?

After hesitating for a moment, Baiyou walked to the door of the lonely ghost's room, but the raised hands did not fall down.

What are you doing knocking on his door?Could it be that he was also infected by that ghost, and came to disturb others in the middle of the night if he had nothing to do?

Bai You felt that she was a little strange, and had some inexplicable emotional thoughts.A little bored, he finally left and went to the study to calm down and clear up the series of things that happened recently.

When the rooster crowed and dawn broke, the sky was still a little dark. Although I didn't feel tired after I stopped writing, I felt a little sore after sitting for several hours, so I went for a walk in the courtyard.

But he didn't want to run into that lonely ghost who had just returned from an overnight stay in the outskirts of the city.

Seeing that the lonely ghost was a bit unnatural, but he didn't show it, but it wasn't like usual, he just smiled at Baiyou's bent eyes as a greeting, and continued to walk back to the room.

【morning. 】

A cold voice suddenly sounded behind him, the lonely ghost paused, and also replied [Morning. 】

[Only returning home? 】

【kindness. 】Gu Gui nodded.

【Last night...you were outside...】

[Walk around. 】The lonely ghost paused for a while, then chuckled suddenly and asked 【Are you still going to torture me? 】

【…】

Not listening to Bai You's words, the lonely ghost said [If it's okay, I'll go back to my room first. ] Then, he went back to the room.

From the beginning to the end, the lonely ghost never looked back at Bai You, and there was alienation in his smile.

Baiyou noticed it, but it was only just aware of it.

Still that indifferent face, without any worry.

Worry?

Don't think too much, why would he worry about himself with such a cold temper?

He's not that smelly fairy.

Even though that stinky fairy had the same cold face all day long, he wasn't worried when he went out and came back?

Let it go.

After lying down, Gu Gui picked up the quilt beside him and covered himself tightly.Quilts are not only needed by humans, ghosts sometimes feel cold and need quilts to keep them warm.

It's been too long, Feng Gui is right, he has indeed stayed here for too long.

this is not right.

The longer you stay, the more nostalgic you become, and in the end you will only trap yourself tighter.

Why not be crisp?

but……

Just stay for a few more days, just stay for a few more days, and leave when things are done.

Alright, then allow him to stay for a few more days, and then he is not allowed to linger on.

Hey~~Smelly fairy, I want to sleep, come and accompany me in my dream, okay?

Only my own dream, too lonely.

The lonely ghost hugged the quilt tightly and closed his eyes with a smile.

The autumn test was held as scheduled and lasted for two days.After two days of rounds of assessment, a group of outstanding people were qualified to participate in the palace examination.The so-called Palace Examination was prepared by the emperor Huo Mingxian himself to test and select talents. No one knew the questions, which ensured the fairness of the selection.

Fire Feather Country has always attached great importance to the autumn test, it is the foundation of a country's talents.All virtuous courtiers have to go through the selection of the autumn test, hereditary is not allowed, only those who are able can be appointed, so the invigilator of the autumn test has a heavy responsibility, and the invigilation site is also guarded by heavy soldiers.

In the past two days, Huo Mingxian was busy with the autumn examination and had no time to pay attention to Luo Leiyu, so he ordered Baiyou to entertain him.Perhaps it was impolite to refuse Luo Leiyu's visit on the first day, but in the next two days Baiyou changed his previous attitude and devoted himself to hospitality, which made Luo Leiyu really happy.

Dozens of outstanding talents were finally screened out in the palace examination, and the No. [-] and No. [-] candidates were also decided.This year's talents are much better than previous years, Huo Mingxian was very pleased, he entrusted the important duties of the imperial court to the top three on the spot, rewarded thousands of land, ten thousand taels of gold, and bestowed them on the mansion.In addition, he also personally arranged a feast for these talents with titles on the gold list, and all officials were happy.

The Prince of Darkness Luo Leiyu hereby wrote a poem to congratulate him. Huo Mingxian felt that this autumn test really borrowed Luo Leiyu's auspicious words, and when he was happy, he asked Luo Leiyu to stay for a few more days, but Luo Leiyu would not refuse to agree down.

When the Holy One was happy, the people of the Fire Feather Kingdom also rejoiced, and the whole country celebrated together.

What is more joyful is that the day of the Fire Feather Kingdom's Heavenly Sacrifice is coming.Every year before the Heavenly Festival, the citizens have to make some preparations for the Heavenly Festival.This year is what Bai You ordered before, every family sprinkles powder and pastes talismans.

On the day of the Tianji Festival, the national teacher's offering to the heavens and praying for blessings conveys the voices of the people to the gods in the sky, expresses their piety, reverence, and goodness, and receives the gods' mercy and care, blesses all blessings, and removes the dark and evil spirits around them, in exchange for a year Peace and safety.

The reason why Tianji is festive is that it is also called the Lantern Festival.At night, everyone will put on their favorite and most beautiful clothes, and every family will go out to shop, buy and put lanterns.

The moonlight is very clear tonight, and the market is bustling with crowds.Vendors hung up their best-looking lanterns one after another to attract tourists.

There are various patterns on the lanterns, such as plum blossoms making snow, mountain streams, night crows at spring dawn, cats playing with balls, tigers descending mountains, and eight immortals crossing rivers... In short, the colorful colors are so beautiful that people are overwhelmed.

Although the lanterns are beautiful, they are not as eye-catching as the back figure in white clothes passing by.

I saw that the white dress that the man was wearing was luxurious and elegant, and the lotus flowers inlaid with silver threads were elegant and refined, and there were little silver lights in the moonlight, which was very eye-catching.The long black hair behind the shoulders was tied casually with an ivory-white ribbon, and the outermost moon-white silk robe, which was as thin as a veil, fluttered in the air.Just the back of the road locked people's eyes tightly.

Then there was a call from behind [Master!Wait for us. 】

The man looked back suddenly, and when he saw his face, it made people forget to breathe.

On the delicate and handsome face, a pair of black jade eyes reflected the candlelight in the lanterns by the roadside, shining like stars and moons, coupled with that elegant and indifferent temperament, it is really hard to move one's eyes away.

Probably this is the so-called light as green bamboo, elegant as white lotus, which can only be seen from a distance and cannot be profaned.

Hearing the sound, Baiyou stopped and turned around to walk back, and the two figures in purple clothes behind him also turned around.Today, Zisu and Zisu also changed into newly made purple clothes. The dark purple corset gown and lavender gauze made their figures look very elegant and elegant.

[Young Master, I think these two lanterns look good, which one do you think should be bought? 】I saw Yanzi holding a lantern with peonies in her left hand and a lantern with hibiscus in her right hand, she hesitated.Today, she also changed into a goose yellow dress that she didn't wear on weekdays, and put on a delicate hairpin with a little powder on her face.

[Peony is rich and noble, hibiscus ice jade, both are beautiful, if you like it, why not take both? 】Bai You replied, and inadvertently met the eyes of the lonely ghost standing behind Yanzi, the lonely ghost turned his head to look at the lantern at the side, and moved his eyes away.

Today, the lonely ghost is the same as usual, wearing a red dress that reaches the ground, no need to deliberately dress up, unruly evil spirits, handsome and extraordinary.Compared with the past, today's lonely ghost is more restrained and stable, adding another charm.

Hearing what the young master said, Yan Zi felt that it was reasonable, so she bought them all.Then, Zisu Zisu also picked two beautiful lanterns.After buying, the five of them continued on their way, with Bai You and Zisu Zisu in front, and the lonely ghost Yanzi behind.

Today, Huangfu Qing and Bai Qiao, who have never stopped, did not follow. One was sent back to the palace by Baiyou on the grounds that the second prince should go back to the palace for a reunion. Read books in the house.Bai You also followed him, leaving Bai Zhan to look after him in the mansion.

So today only five of them came out.Originally, the lonely ghost didn't intend to come, saying that he was not feeling well.Yanzi felt that the ghost was deceiving and was trying to refuse, so she dragged him out forcefully.

According to the lonely ghost's temperament of joining in the fun in the past, it shouldn't be unwilling to come out.There must be some reason.Because from the moment they came out, the ghost has been absent-minded, and doesn't pay much attention to the lanterns, but just follows the team from a distance, and the most abnormal thing is that he hasn't spoken to his young master.

Don't talk to his son? !

unusual.

So abnormal.

This ghost, and the young master, have a conflict again?Yan Zi was puzzled.

Unknowingly, a group of people walked to the river, where the candlelight was flickering, the crowd was bustling, and it was very lively.

Men, women, young and old, hold carefully selected lanterns in their hands, write their wishes and blessings with pens, and then light them and put them in the water.The lanterns carrying good hopes floated down the river, all the way to the distance.

At some point, Zisu Zisu and the others ran to the river to set off lanterns, leaving Baiyou and Gugui alone.

Quietly looking at the common people immersed in happiness, Baiyou's eyes are still full of worry that cannot be dispelled.He doesn't know how long this kind of peace can last, just like the calm before the storm, it always makes people feel uneasy.

The lonely ghost at the side was silently on the other side of the river, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.From time to time, the qi and blood in the body surged up, and he forcibly suppressed it again.

[Don't you like lanterns? ] After a long silence, Bai You spoke first.

【like. 】

[Why not choose? 】

[I...] After a pause, the lonely ghost said slowly [Actually... this is... the first time for me to visit lanterns... I don't know how to choose...]

【…】Bai You was stunned, he never imagined that this ghost would have such a shy side, embarrassing and...a little...cute.

cute?How can I think a ghost is cute, or a male ghost? !Bai You felt that his head must have been flooded.

【Do you think it's ridiculous? 】Having not heard Baiyou's voice for a long time, the lonely ghost turned his head and smiled, with a touch of sadness in his maroon eyes.

This smile made Bai You feel uncomfortable and a little glaring.The ghost laughed, it shouldn't be like this.Glancing at Yan Zi and the other three who were setting up lanterns in the distance, Bai You lightened her tone [I'll take you to pick one, how about it? ] As he spoke, he walked to the lively Lantern Market.

After a while, the lonely ghost understood the meaning of the words and followed.

Two figures, one white and one red, melted into the street market with lanterns again, one elegant and refined, the other evil and handsome, attracting passers-by to watch frequently, but they didn't know it.Although the two figures walked side by side, they always kept a distance of three feet from each other.

Finally, he stopped in front of one of the biggest lantern stalls, Bai You leaned over to choose, while Gu Gui quietly watched from the side.

I have to say that Bai You is very beautiful no matter when, especially tonight. When choosing lanterns, her gestures are so elegant and indifferent, accompanied by a unique faint fragrance.

【how about this? ] After making some selections, Baiyou held a lantern with a picture of a full garden, raised his head and asked, just in time to meet the maroon eyes that were staring at him.

Every person and ghost are startled.

But the lonely ghost quickly reacted, and took the lantern naturally to look at it [It looks good, but it’s not as good as yours.Why don't you draw a flower lantern and give it to me? 】

Bai You took the lantern and put it back to its original place.What the ghost said was "Can you send me off?" It was a good thing to ask in such a polite tone, changing from the previous natural request, but I don't know why I am not used to it.

Seeing that Baiyou made a move, the lonely ghost changed his mind and said [It's just a joke, this lantern is actually quite beautiful, so I'll just buy it. 】

【What do you want to draw? 】Suddenly Baiyou asked, the eagerness to cover up in the ghost's words was too obvious, which made people feel a little unbearable.

[…] After staring at those black jade-like eyes for a long time, the lonely ghost stammered […drawing…then…back to the dream… let’s…]

Asking the vendor for pens and ink and blank lantern paper, he picked up the pen and began to draw. The lonely ghost carefully admired the white worry with his low eyebrows swaying pen and ink.

After a while, a sea of ​​enchanting and moving dream-returning flowers leaped onto the paper, lifelike, as if the dream-returning was swaying and dancing in front of my eyes.

After writing, Bai You looked at the ghost.

I saw the corner of the ghost's mouth twitched, smiling warmly, and praised [Beautiful, wonderful! 】

[Ouch~~~Guest officer, you are really a master of Danqing! 】The street vendor was full of praise, while carefully pasting the painted lantern paper.After the paste was finished, he handed it to the lonely ghost, and said [this man, thirty words. 】

The lonely ghost didn't even think about it, and instinctively asked [Thirty texts... what is it? 】

The street vendor was dumbfounded by the lonely ghost's question. He looked at the lonely ghost with round eyes as if he was looking at a monster. How could such a handsome man ask such a question? Could he be a fool?

Seeing that something was wrong, Bai You immediately dropped a tael of silver and said that there is no need to look for it, and then hurried away with the lonely ghost.It wasn't until he reached a secluded place with fewer people that Baiyou stopped and panted softly.How come I almost forgot, he is a ghost, and he reveals his secrets as soon as he speaks.

[Thirty wen refers to thirty copper coins, what was given to him just now was one tael of silver, and one tael of silver is one thousand wen. 】Bai You panted slightly, and explained for the first time.

I haven't seen the ghost answer for a long time, turned my head and looked behind, saw him staring down in a daze, looked down, and found that I was holding the ghost's hand.Just now he took the ghost's hand and only wanted to leave quickly, but he forgot... Bai You was so startled that he hurriedly let go of his hand, but unexpectedly, the ghost took it away again.

[You...] Bai You hurriedly withdrew her hand.

[Worry~~~~] The lonely ghost held on to that hand, and was so happy that he pulled him into his arms [Are you caring about me? 】

【open. 】

【Don't let go~~~~】

[Will you let it go? ! ] Baiyou's voice sounded muffled because of being stuffed in his chest.

[I won't let it go~~~ It was you who took the initiative. 】The lonely ghost played tricks, quietly feeling the light fragrance of flowers on Baiyou in his arms.

[Don't force me,] Hearing the ghost's smirk, Baiyou's face was on fire, and he said angrily [If you don't let go, I will... um... um... um... um...]

Suddenly, Gu Gui's lips were pressed down like this, and Bai You, who opened his mouth to speak, just made it easier for the ghost to invade, and the slippery tip of his tongue came in so easily, licking wantonly.

Baiyou struggled, and just as he raised his untrapped hand to resist, he was easily cut behind him by the lonely ghost who had expected it for a long time.

These days, the depression in my heart has encountered a gap and surged up. The lonely ghost bent down and hugged him tightly, deepening the kiss,

【You...uh...ah...】 Just when Baiyou was having difficulty breathing and was about to suffocate, the lonely ghost finally let him go.

【you! 】Bai You waved his palm angrily, but saw the ghost standing there with a smile on his face and looking at him. The scene of hurting him and bleeding that night flashed by, and the palm was abruptly withdrawn. I can raise my sleeves and wipe my mouth.

But the wrist was held again, the lonely ghost lowered his head, and whispered evilly in Baiyou's ear [you, face, red, it's gone. 】

【presumptuous! ] Shaking off the ghost's hand, Bai You took a few steps back to create a distance.The black jade-like eyes were full of anger, and the slightly red and swollen lips with a moist luster were truly alluring in the night.

It's so tempting.Sweeping away the haze of the past few days, Gu Gui's mood immediately improved a lot, and he returned to his usual unrestrained behavior.Although his thoughts were still unfinished, but seeing Baiyou's terrifying eyes that wanted to eat people, he wisely changed the topic and said [Don't you still have to go to the river to put lanterns, it's better if you are late] After finishing speaking, he still turned his head and threw With a wink, he walked forward chicly.

on purpose!

Absolutely on purpose!

That ghost definitely did it on purpose!

Ghost nature dictates, ghost nature is inherently bad, and nature is hard to change!Baiyou felt 1 regrets and regrets for his unreasonable pity before.Next time, he will definitely be hacked into pieces, no, he will be cut into pieces!

Although he thought so, but had to face the reality, Bai Guoshi finally moved to follow.

Just when they were about to reach the river, heart-piercing shouts and screams suddenly came from the bustling crowd not far away [Help! ...Save...life...Ghost~~~~There is...Ghost~~~~~~ Ah! ! ! 】

The author has something to say:

Finally, before twelve o'clock~~~~ Long wait
