moonlit night

Baique Street, the imperial capital, is different from the prosperity and splendor of Suzaku Road. It has always been a place where three religions and nine streams gather, and weird people appear frequently. The residents here are accustomed to it. Therefore, the haunted mansion that has been uninhabited for a long time suddenly lived in a family. What an eye-catcher.

As for the people coming and going in and out of the mansion, they were all black-clothed people who couldn't see their faces, so it didn't seem so strange.

An expert who dares to live in a ghost house should have the demeanor of an expert.

It's just that the master seems to be very quiet, and often closes the door of the mansion early before nightfall, and refuses to disturb the guests.

There was a snowfall in the imperial capital today, and it didn't stop until evening, and sent away a group of palace people who came from the palace to urge them away. The gate of Yin's mansion was closed tightly from the inside as usual.The street lights on the street were turned on one by one, and the rogues who had good things gathered under the lights not far from the mansion. They heard the companions who were lucky enough to enter Yin's mansion to deliver water to describe in detail, saying that the ladies who lived in the mansion were so beautiful. How earth-shattering.

And within those walls that yearning eyes could not penetrate, Yue Qingchen was writing and drawing with a brush in his hand.He was sitting by the blazing fire in the house, embracing the extremely warm lynx fur. When he stopped the last stroke, a smile finally appeared on his perennially frozen face.

The white fox that Jun Changye brought from the Northern Territory sneaked over, straightened up with difficulty and looked at Yue Qingchen's hand, and when he saw what it was, he was so frightened that he let out a strange cry, and rushed back to Jun Changye's side again. behind.

But after all, he couldn't resist the temptation, and ran back secretly again, rubbing Yue Qingchen's shoulder.

I don't know when it started, it is no longer as afraid of Yue Qingchen as it was when it first met.

Jun Chang Yeban knelt on the ground, used cinnabar to outline the final eyebrows and eyes for the female corpse under his command, and then sprinkled a layer of honey powder on her face.Seeing that the beauty began to look radiant and lifelike, and the grayness on her face was completely covered up, she put the shroud back on and turned her head to look at Yue Qingchen not far away.

Seeing the fleeting smile on Master's lips, Jun Changye was slightly taken aback, subconsciously smiled too, then stood up and walked quietly to Yue Qingchen.

But seeing this, he couldn't hold back, and really laughed out loud.

I saw that the male corpse's eyebrows were as thick as three normal people's, his eyes were painted into panda eyes, and the two blushes on his face were as big as duck eggs on the Dragon Boat Festival. Coupled with his already pale complexion, he looked alive The paper faces of loved ones in the underworld.

For some reason, Jun Changye had a premonition that when Yue Qingchen painted, he must have regarded the corpse as him.

Yue Qingchen didn't look back at him, just stretched out his hand and put the brush aside, and said lightly: "Is it beautiful?"

Jun Changye stopped laughing, nodded and said, "It's beautiful."

"If I also put on such a makeup for you, would you like it?"

Jun Changye slowly lay down next to the male corpse, put his hands behind his head, looked up at him, and said with a smile:

"I can't ask for it."

It was an extremely relaxed, defenseless pose.

In the sound of crackling charcoal burning around them, neither of the two continued to speak. Jun Changye closed his eyes, and soon a demon envoy wrapped in black robes came in and dragged the last two painted corpses out.

In fact, Jun Changye brought Yue Qingchen to the imperial capital, besides helping Xiao Ziyuan, he also wanted to find Nan Zhen's master by the way, to see if there was a way to completely heal Yue Qingchen's internal injuries without taking out the fairy binding rope.But when I found the place according to the address, I found that the building was empty, leaving only a gloomy dilapidated mansion.

From the well in the mansion, a total of twelve grim-looking corpses from the sunken well were found, three men and nine women, all of which had been transformed into corpses.

According to common sense, this mansion has good feng shui, and there will be no place for gathering yin, so the only problem left is the water in the well.

Shiyun, if you see water from the underworld springing from the underworld, it will be the time when the three thousand ghosts of the ghost clan who were suppressed by the ancestors under the underworld will come back.

There was a rustling sound coming from the side, and there was a cold touch on the arch of the eyebrows, which made it itchy every now and then.The quiet aura from Yue Qingchen's body was faintly visible at the tip of his nose. Jun Changye wrinkled his nose and sniffed carefully. Suddenly, he wanted to get closer to that side.

"Don't move," Yue Qingchen held him down, slashed the sharp knife light in his hand, and said coldly: "Aren't you afraid of losing your appearance?"

At some point, the makeup brush in his hand had been replaced with a small knife and pen, and with the warmth of the surrounding fire, a faint light was reflected on Jun Changye's face.

Jun Changye obediently stopped moving, but still closed his eyes, his eyelashes flickered, like two small butterfly wings.

He asked: "Master, do you think my mother and I look alike?"

Yue Qingchen stared at the two butterfly wings for a moment, carefully avoided his eyes, and said lightly: "I don't remember."

At this moment, Jun Changye's whole body was wide open, as long as the thin blade in Yue Qingchen's hand slid down a little, he could accurately cut into the opponent's lifeblood throat.

But he didn't, he just looked at the quiet face of the person beside him with a complicated expression, letting the wave of emotion that had finally calmed down set off waves again.

Jun Changye's appearance was very good, as if he was especially loved by the Creator.Yue Qingchen still remembers that when this image first popped up in his mind back then, he hoped to give this child the most beautiful adjectives in the world to help him resist the ups and downs of fate.

It's just that I didn't expect that things would turn out like this in the end.

In the setting in the book, Yue Qingchen once made it clear that Jun Changye resembled his mother very much.And in the illusion given by Lin'an before, I had never seen Su Xihe's face, and because of this, I never thought that Su Xihe was actually the girl saved by Feng Manlou's father. build.

But later it was discovered that all kinds of connections point to this fact, so he couldn't help but not believe it.

But the fact that Su Xihe is Jun Changye's biological mother is not important to the direction of everything. Why does Lin An hide this?

Could it be because there is some kind of unknown connection between Su Xihe and Lin'an?And this connection is the key to unraveling all mysteries.

He remembered the dream left by Lin An again, in the dream besides the god in white playing the piano, there was also a little phoenix dozing off.

Yue Qingchen lowered his eyes, mechanically repaired Jun Changye's eyebrows like a sword's edge, and the hand that did not hold the knife and pen ran down the opponent's cheek, sliding all the way to the Adam's apple, and unconsciously rubbed it.The latter only felt numb to the touch, and his heart was itchy like thousands of ants gnawing on him. He hurriedly grabbed Yue Qingchen's hand like lightning, opened his eyes and stopped, saying:

"do not."

I can't help it if you treat me like this.

Jun Changye's sound completely shocked Yue Qingchen's submerged thoughts. When he came back to his senses, he realized that his hand was still on the other party's neck. The posture was ambiguous, as if he was teasing.

Yue Qingchen was stunned, then threw away the pen in his hand as if being scalded, and withdrew his hand back.

The atmosphere in the house, which was originally like melting snow in spring, suddenly condensed, like winter coming again.

"I heard that there are a lot of lost people in the city recently, mainly noble girls and children." Jun Changye was silent for a moment, then abruptly changed the subject, "What do you think, Master?"

Yue Qingchen was obviously not interested in talking, so he just threw the topic back: "You have already made a conclusion, why ask me?"

The little white fox came over again poking around, and sat down between the two of them, looking at this and that, as if they didn't understand why these two people suddenly became like this when they were fine just now.

Jun Changye knew that Yue Qingchen didn't like spirit beasts, so he wanted to wave the white fox aside, but it refused to leave.A pair of round eyes are like black grapes, staring straight at Yue Qingchen, as if hiding infinite nostalgia.

"No matter why the missing persons in the city disappeared, it must be related to the recent actions of the ghost clan. After releasing these freshly made female corpses, we will naturally know, and we can take the opportunity to find out where the ghost clan is hiding." Jun Changye lowered his eyes and said, "At that time, use this corpse to control their actions, and let them kill each other, lest Senior Brother Xiao need to free up his hands to deal with those troublesome brats."

When he said these words, he obviously had a plan in mind, but Yue Qingchen was a little confused at the moment, didn't pay attention to what he was talking about, and was still reminiscing about the touch just now, so he said casually:

"Did you come all the way to help Ziyuan?"

He just discovered that on Jun Changye's neck, there was an old scar passing through his throat. Like the vertical and horizontal scars on his body that were slowly fading away, it showed how much the person in front of him had been tempered. Breaking the reminder, but being reborn from the ashes again and again.

Jun Changye raised his eyes to look at him, and said seriously: "If I said, I did it to please you and make you happy, would you believe me?"

After finishing speaking, as if he knew the other party's answer, Jun Changye shook his head with a smile, but stopped talking.

"When did you learn the art of controlling corpses?" Yue Qingchen asked suddenly.

"Oh, I can't remember, probably in the ten years since you left me, in order to save my life, I learned everything," Jun Changye smiled lightly, and the smile was a bit bitter, "But, I learned from the secret middle school left by my mother." Come on, I remember this very clearly.”

It's ridiculous to say that the piece of black jade that Su Xihe left behind was actually the only thing that didn't abandon him in the desperate situation.

This kind of yin and evil technique must not only be Yue Qingchen, but most righteous people would bother to learn it.However, Su Xihe, as the master of the righteous way, has left behind a lot of secrets in the secret realm, which shows the breadth of his research.And this kind of open-minded and inclusive thought is exactly the same as the thought of the gods in ancient times that there is no distinction between high and low among all races.

Perhaps, this is also one of the insurmountable gaps between Mahayana and Dujie.

Yue Qingchen didn't say a word, and suddenly felt a little stuffy in his chest, so he stood up while leaning on the wall beside him, wanting to go to the window to breathe.Unexpectedly, after sitting for too long, he felt a little dizzy when he got up suddenly, Jun Changye hurriedly got up to support him.

This time, he didn't push his hand away.

The room where the two are now is the place where the house used to store medicinal materials, but now it is used as a weapon warehouse.Yue Qingchen walked to the window, and saw a knife and a sword crossed and hanging in the sword compartment, the sword was sleeping peacefully in the sheath, but the knife without the sheath, but also withdrew its edge in the dark night, looking like an ordinary Long knives are no different.

Is this what Li Yuan left behind, the magic knife that killed all the immortals in Yaochi?
