Between seas

Boss Qian in the room shook his body. At this moment, he lost that timid expression, as if he was a different person.His eyes were tearing apart, his fingers were clenched tightly, and he yelled and rushed towards the two children.

However, the two children are just phantoms of the past, not real. Boss Qian's hands go through their bodies.

The sound of water droplets dripping came from nowhere, and everything in the illusion became still, like an ancient mural exposed in the Gobi Desert, which instantly faded and then disappeared.

The surroundings suddenly became brighter, and the gentle sunlight slanted on the ground through the doors and windows, the illusion collapsed, and the room returned to its previous appearance.

Before Boss Qian could react, he fell heavily due to losing his center of gravity, and his forehead was bluish from the knock.

Qian Pingping's figure is still hiding behind the heavy gauze curtains, drawing with a brush.

Shen Boru stretched out his hand to Boss Qian who was lying on the ground, trying to help him up, and called out, "Boss Qian?"

Boss Qian didn't move. He knelt on the ground, bowed his waist, and curled up his limbs like a newborn baby.His forehead was pressed against the cold stone slab on the ground, and a low whimper sounded from his throat.

Shen Boru didn't know how to comfort Boss Qian, he took off the handkerchief pinned to his waist, bent down, and handed it to Boss Qian.

Boss Qian didn't answer, and Shen Boru didn't move either.

After a long time like this, Boss Qian suddenly grabbed Shen Boru's wrist, he slowly raised his head, looked at him with bloodshot eyes, panted, and said word by word: "Master Immortal, how many of you can help me?" I'm holding those two monsters, Pingping is only 15 years old this year, she's in her prime...you guys have to help me get Pingping's head back!"

Jiang Yizhou stepped forward and separated Boss Qian and Shen Boru calmly. He rubbed Shen Boru's red wrist, thought for a moment, and asked Shen Boru: "Do you still remember the name of the couple who sold us wine?" ?"

Sambo happily said: "Remember, remember! One is Erzhu, the other is Ah..." When she said this, she suddenly closed her mouth, her lips quivered a few times, and said in disbelief: "Ah , Ah Cui..."

The little girl who took Qian Pingping's head was also named A Cui, and she also had a walking stick in her hand.

Jiang Yizhou helped Boss Qian up and asked, "Boss Qian, have you ever met a tavern that sells wine?"

Boss Qian recalled for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Yizhou smiled: "Didn't there be an old beggar in the beginning who took a bamboo pole in both hands and soiled your clothes, and then told you that there are a pair of monsters in Luoyang City?"

Behind the gauze curtain, Qian Pingping put down the Langhao brush in her hand.

Boss Qian was surprised: "That's true, but it was Pingping's clothes that the old beggar soiled. To make up for it, he gave us a jar of wine. But Pingping never liked drinking, so I sent it to Get the servant."

Sanbao said: "Then we just met Ah Cui and Er Zhu, aren't their husband and wife just... monsters?"

"Not necessarily." Shen Boru smiled lightly: "It would be too hasty to make a judgment based on similar names. I think we should first follow the clues at hand."

"Clue?" Boss Qian was puzzled and asked, "What clue?"

Jiang Yizhou took Shen Boru's handkerchief from Boss Qian, folded it carefully, and put it in his arms: "It just so happens that we have a jar of wine made by A Cui and his wife, which has not been opened yet. This is a clue, and we can follow along to find out the handkerchief. Tell us about the history of A Cui and his wife."

Shen Boru said indifferently: "There are also those headless stone statues in the illusion just now, and a few women are doing it like bouncing the pipa. In reality, even everyone who is very good at the pipa will not use this posture to play the pipa. It doesn’t play well. This movement will only appear in the murals, and it’s used to express the floating and gentle appearance of Feitian in the paintings.”

"We also want to take a look at the ancient murals in Fengxian Temple."

Boss Qian: "So how do the two immortal masters investigate? Should the two clues be investigated separately?"

Shen Boru shook his head: "The two monsters are hiding in the dark and their identities are unknown. In this situation, it's better not to separate."

The breeze blew the gauze curtain, and Qian Pingping's figure moved, as if she was studying ink.

Boss Qian was still a little hesitant: "Then...then I'll listen to a few immortal masters."

Shen Boru looked sideways at Jiang Yizhou, because facing the sun, his eyes were reflected in the bright color of amber.With a slight smile on his lips, he said warmly, "Let's go."

Jiang Yizhou also smiled: "Let's go."

The two didn't say where they were going, but they looked at each other, which seemed to explain everything.

Seeing the strangeness, Sanbao followed suit.Boss Qian walked behind them in a daze.

Jiang Yizhou went back to the inn and took the jar of wine he bought, and went to the tavern on the outskirts of the city with Shen Boru.

In the city of Luoyang, the April wind blows away tenderness for ten miles, and the green grass beside the road sends pedestrians out of the city.

The scene is brilliant.

However, Shen Boru and the others hadn't arrived yet, and from a distance, they could see many people surrounded by three floors outside the tavern, many of whom were officials.

Shen Boru stopped, frowned and said, "Something happened."

He heard someone in front of him lower his voice and say: "Grandma A Cui and her husband and wife are usually fine, but they offended someone, their heads were cut off, and blood splattered all over the ground."

"Don't talk about it anymore, the city and the outside are not peaceful recently. First, the peony flowering period is delayed, Yishui dragon sings, and now I'm losing my head, and all the weird things are rushing together. It's better to go home early today."

"Lose your head?"

"Don't you know? A pair of head-stealing monsters came out of Luoyang City, and they picked the good-looking ones. I heard that Ms. Qian's head was also stolen by them. It's strange to say that other people can live if they lose their heads. Just Ah Cui and his wife died at home."

Boss Qian also heard their conversation and coughed hard.

When those people saw Boss Qian approaching, they hurriedly kept their mouths shut like a quail.

After a while, several officials carried out two people from the tavern.The two people were tightly covered from head to toe by the white cloth, but the white cloth above the shoulders collapsed softly, apparently without a head, and they could barely be seen as individuals.

The people around smelled the strong smell of blood, their faces were a little ugly, and they couldn't help covering their mouths and noses.

The three of Shen Boru walked around the Zhangjia Village, and they were invulnerable to all kinds of poisons, which was acceptable.Several people carrying the corpses of A Cui and his wife walked past them, when a sudden strong wind blew up, a corner of the white cloth was lifted, exposing a short cut in the neck of the corpse.

Seeing this, many people covered their eyes with their sleeves.

Shen Boru saw that the cut on Granny A'Cui's neck was even, and it looked like a very fast knife cut off Granny's head in one go.

Such a neat cut, Shen Boru has only seen on the body of the uncle in Zhangjiacun.

My uncle also has no head.

Shen Boru raised his eyes to look at the blue sky above his head, and sighed slightly.Then the serene smile appeared on his lips again.But his eyes are not peaceful, just like the boundless sea, with dark waves and dark waves.

He suddenly wanted to hold his knife and wipe the blade clean.

After a while, Shen Boru lowered his eyes and sneered: "Interesting."

"Ah Chen? What's interesting?"

"Maybe I'm going to see an old friend, I think it's interesting."

The author has something to say:

Regarding the two names of Nangong Cuihua and Dongfang Tiezhu, I am also very desperate.

I, Zha Jisan, have relatives and friends who know that I am writing articles and want to be a secondary role.It's fine for him to be a dragon, but he wants to be a flower picker, called Dongfang Tiezhu.I also want a love named Nangong Cuihua, I can't persuade her, but if I want these two names, I will be a flower picker, looking for death and life.

It's hard for me to die, just for his aesthetics, he deserves to be single.
