How Immortals and Demons Fall in Love Through Different Paths

In Tong Shu's view, this was nothing.

He was used to hearing this ugly and terrifying voice, so he still had time to observe Xin Wu's reaction.He had adapted to the night and could see Xin Wu looking at him clearly, so he mouthed, "Where's the tofu?"

Xin Wu pointed.

There is a bag of black things under the table, which is the tofu wrapped in oiled paper by Xin Wu.

After a while, another footstep came from the corridor.The footsteps of the visitor were the same as those of the previous one, even the severity was the same, and it became even more strange.

Tong Shu's eyes sank again, and he squinted at the door.

Through the paper on the door, two figures could be vaguely seen outside the door, the figure of a man knocking on the door mechanically with his hands up and down.

What's even more shocking is that the rhythm of the people knocking on the street comes from far and near, and the rhythm is also strangely consistent!

In this eerie night, all the sounds heard are Keban machinery, with the same rhythm!

It's like knocking on the tip of a person's heart.

This weird knock on the door lasted for a long time, the knocking sound outside the street gradually faded away, the knock on the door stopped abruptly, and then there was the sound of keys colliding.

The door is going to be forced open!

Tong Shu and Xin Wu looked at each other and nodded slightly. Xin Wu understood, raised his hand to light up the lamp, and opened the door suddenly.

Standing outside the door were the shopkeeper and the waiter, their expressions were stiff, they didn't turn on the lights at night, and their eyes were dull.

Probably the previous guests had been terrified long ago. They had never seen these two guests open the door to welcome them like this. out of the light.

Seeing their blank expressions, Tong Shu was more or less sure about it and did not point it out. He cooperated and said, "Shopkeeper, little brother, why are you here in the middle of the night?"

The shopkeeper and Xiao Er slowly put down their hands, their eyes were out of focus, and they said in unison: "Come and deliver supper to the guest officer."

"What supper?"

"Xi Shi tofu."

Tong Shu reached out to pick it up, but the waiter refused to give it to him. After tugging back and forth, Tong Shu let go first, and said, "Thank you all."

He went to the table and sat down, the shopkeeper and the waiter came in step by step, put tofu on the table, stood upright by the table, staring at them.

Tong Shu and Xin Wu looked at each other, Xin Wu nodded to him, and stretched out his fingers, Tong Shu knew that the tofu was five cents more than the tofu bought by Xin Wu, so no one moved their chopsticks.

The shopkeeper and Xiao Er waited dumbly for a while, and then became irritable, their white eyes were as big as copper bells, and they stared at them covetously.

Tong Shu and Xin Wu just didn't do anything.

Finally, the waiter and the shopkeeper seemed to have reached a certain limit of tolerance, and they stretched out their hands to grab the chopsticks and spoons.Xiaoer took a spoon, scooped a spoonful, and yelled at Tong Shu's mouth, but Tong Shu let out a chuckle, raised his head and avoided it.

It's quite funny.

How could the shopkeeper's stiff movement be able to hold the slippery tofu? But he took the trouble, and after failing several times in a row, he looked at Xiao Er dejectedly and begging for help.

Xiao Er was also in a daze, and when he received the sight, he stiffly reached out to help, but he clearly had a spoon in his hand, but he discarded the spoon and used the chopsticks. , showing signs of getting out of control.

Tong Shu picked up the spoon at the right time and said, "Don't bother you, I will eat by myself."

The shopkeeper and the waiter both straightened up and stared at them again. Seeing that Tong Shu had made a move, they all stared at Xin Wu again.

Tong Shu persuaded with a smile: "Fifth brother, you should eat some too, after all, it's the store's heart."

Only then did Xin Wu slowly pick up the chopsticks, raised his hand, and ate it with his mouth open.

The shopkeeper and Xiao Er came to stare at Tong Shu again.

Tong Shu hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll eat it right away." In fact, he was a little apprehensive about the stuff in the tofu, he knew what it was, and he had a way to resolve it, but it was really disgusting to eat.

Just as Tong Shu gritted his teeth and opened his mouth, his eyes suddenly went dark, and someone blocked the light. From a very close distance, a woody fragrance came faintly, and two rows of slender eyelashes pulled out a long lamp shadow and fell on Tong Shu's cheeks. Before he had time to ask "what are you doing", Xin Wu had already left, and the tofu in his spoon had been eaten.

"..." Tong Shu couldn't react, so he went to look at Xin Wu.Xin Wu took another piece of tofu to eat without looking sideways, so Tong Shu had to go and see the shopkeeper and the waiter.The faces of the two people showed no signs of change, obviously they didn't notice that Xin Wu ate tofu instead.

Tong Shu paused, scooped up another spoonful of tofu, and passed it to his mouth. Sure enough, halfway through, Xin Wu turned around and babbled away again. The two of them didn't realize it, but they knew it in their hearts-Xin Wu used a trick to deceive his eyes.

Tong Shu asked Xin Wu with his lips: "Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death?"

Xin Wu was unmoved, and looked away lazily.

In this way, Tong Shu took a sip, and Xin Wu took a sip. Every time Xin Wu approached, the faint woody fragrance lingered on the tip of Tong Shu's nose.

This scent... Tong Shu couldn't believe it and thought to himself: Could it be that I haven't smelled good things for decades, and my nose has a problem, and I smelled it wrong?

This woody fragrance is sweet and warm, elegant and long-lasting, and it is the unique fragrance of agarwood; moreover, this fragrance is softer than ordinary agarwood, and the smell is respectful, it should be the best agarwood.

Agarwood is ten thousand yuan, more expensive than gold, and it is the best of all incenses; and this incense is the best of the best, two words jumped out of Tong Shu's mind - Qinan.

Qinan is rare and extremely precious.Even in the emperor's house, a little smoke is only smoked when the emperor offers sacrifices to the heavens and prays for blessings. It is something that cannot be obtained even if there is ten thousand gold.

However, Xin Wu was so poor, where did he get the money?

Tong Shu couldn't help but look deeply at Xin Wu. Looking at it from his angle, the candlelight happened to pass through Xin Wu's slender eyelashes, each of which was as distinct as if wrapped in golden light, trembling slightly with the movement of chewing.Tong Shu suddenly didn't want to ask anymore.Why bother, where did the money come from, and which round should he take care of?

After finishing the two plates of tofu, the shopkeeper and the waiter packed up the dishes and went downstairs. Before leaving, Tong Shu took another look at their nails, which were more bloodshot than in the evening.He understood in his heart, and turned to Xin Wu and said, "I have some things to do, so I will go back as soon as I go."

And Xin Wu had already stepped out of the guest room before him.

Tong Shu was stunned for a moment, smiled, and then hurried to catch up. Xin Wu stopped in front of him suddenly. Tong Shu almost bumped into Xin Wu, who was pulled up by Xin Wu's collar and straightened up.

"What's wrong?" Tong Shu asked, rubbing his neck, which was hurting from being strangled.

Xin Wu signaled to look downstairs.

Tong Shu took a look and gasped.

In the middle of the night, the downstairs was full of guests.

It would be fine if it was bright, but in the [-]-foot-square hall there was only a pale yellow oil lamp lit on the counter, which only illuminated the half-numbed faces of the nearby guests, and two faint lights in the eyes of the distant guests.

There was no one in the store, the shopkeeper and the waiter were slowly and mechanically cleaning up the dishes on the guest tables, the guests were sitting upright, and there were some tofu residues left on the unwiped tables.

These people were breathing extremely heavily, and what was even more creepy was that the breathing of more than a dozen people was actually in a rhythm!Everyone's eyes were wide open, but there was no eye contact with each other. They were all looking at an unknown point, as if they were waiting for something. Even when Tong Shu and Xin Wu came down from upstairs, no one responded.

Probably because he and Xin Wu both ate tofu in front of the shopkeeper and Xiaoer, the shopkeeper and Xiaoer just looked at them blankly and didn't greet them.

Tong Shu looked around, and saw a man in traditional clothes among the customers. Tong Shu had greeted him when he entered the store. The man was surnamed Zhang, and he was a passing scholar. Greeting Xin Wu, I couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

I saw Xin Wu walking towards him slowly with the light behind his back.

Xin Wu walked among a group of demented people, half of his expressionless face was illuminated by the dim candlelight, he walked at the junction of light and darkness, cold and mysterious.

Tong Shu's fingers curled up unconsciously, and the fingertips seemed to still have the cold touch of Xin Wu's wrist. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the body temperature of a living person cannot be so cold... unless he is practicing ice spells , but Xin Wu is obviously not; then... can't he be a dead person?

Tong Shu's mind was spinning a thousand times, but his face was calm and composed. When Xin Wu came to sit next to him, he called the man beside him in a low voice as usual: "Mr. Zhang?"

Mr. Zhang is slightly different from the others. There is a gleam in his eyes. When Tong Shu called him, he raised his eyes slowly. Tong Shu met his eyes. After a while, Mr. Zhang trembled slightly when he saw him reveals the struggle.

This young man also just came to the store today. He thinks he just ate tofu, and he hasn't been completely controlled yet.Tong Shu suddenly remembered that Xiaoer had mentioned that a group of merchants were checking out today, and that group of people was already in danger.

He was about to ask something, when suddenly, there was a sudden knocking sound.

"Du-duk-duk-"

Following the sound, Mr. Zhang's eyes were finally obliterated by the faint light he aroused. Like everyone else, he slowly turned his neck to look outside the door, stood up slowly, and walked at the same rhythm as the beeping sound. , dragged heavily towards the door.

This time the beating sound was different from the previous ones, as if something was pounding heavily in his head, Tong Shu felt dizzy in front of his eyes, lost strength in his hands and feet, and wanted to hold on to something.

Just trying to stand still, he leaned against a solid object, and he didn't care what it was, so he leaned against his body in the leaning position, adjusted his breath several times, and finally got rid of the dizziness.After clearing his ears and eyes, he saw that he was holding onto a dusty sleeve, and then realized that he was leaning on Xin Wu.

He pulled one of Xin Wu's sleeves and forced him into a half-hugging posture. The dim candlelight fell on the side of Xin Wu's face, his brows were slightly gathered, and the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, obviously very resistant to being with him. The other hand had already moved to push him away, probably out of a gentleman's attitude to help others, he forcibly endured it.

Again, Tong Shuyuan only thought of Xin Wu as a man of restraint and respect, and didn't like to be in contact with others. He never thought that Xin Wu might hate him?Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that I was living a new life, and even lost my charm.

This is really...

But right now, he thought, Tong Shu only pondered for a moment, then stood up straight, followed the guests out of the hotel, walked a few steps, and found that Xin Wu hadn't followed, and looked back, Xin Wu was still standing where he was, maintaining the posture just now, He didn't know what he was thinking, so he had no choice but to call out very softly: "Fifth Brother."

Xin Wu's ears are good, so he heard it and looked up at him.

Tong Shu hastily winked at him, signaling him to pretend to have the same symptoms as the guests.

With just a glance, Xin Wu actually understood.

It was pitch black along the street, except for a dim yellow lantern at the front, which was held by the watchman, flickering with the rhythm of the watchman.

Some people's doors were closed, while others' doors were open. People came out of the dark doors and onto the street.

These people seemed to be both dumb and deaf. They didn't see each other when they saw each other, and they followed the watchman stiffly.

Even though he had guessed what he would see in his heart, Tong Shu still took a deep breath when he saw it, and at the same time, he couldn't help but ignited raging anger.

He has only been away for 50 years, and the world of comprehension has become like this!

Today's monks are really progressing, there are actually people who use half-baked sorcery, and even do evil to mortals!

It's not like the people in this town have been poisoned for the first time, and no one has discovered it for such a long time?

Back then, those meddling celebrities from the immortal sect rushed to scold him for being insane, wishing to get rid of him and hurry up. Could it be that they are all dead in just a few years?

No matter how bad it is, where is the nosy and selfless Daoist Xichen? !

Not far ahead, there is a different person.Everyone else was shaking their limbs forward, but the woman had one hand in front of her body, which made her movements look particularly uncoordinated, and it was extremely difficult for her to walk. This kind of movement... Tong Shu took a breath silently, it was a pregnant woman's protection. fetal position.

After a closer look, the woman's belly was slightly protruding. Tong Shu glanced around quickly. Among these people, many women were pregnant women!

Desperate, heaven's justice is intolerable!

He was on the verge of rage, when a thought popped up suddenly.

No, there are only a few women who are pregnant. Why are most of the evil women here are pregnant women? After a closer look, the women in the crowd are old women except pregnant women. Why?

While he was thinking about it, the line in front of him slowly stopped. Tong Shu looked over, and saw the person in the front standing at the door of the tofu shop at the end of the town, staring blankly at the lady in front of the door. The lady was wearing a colorful embroidered dress Shirt stood leaning against the door, and a wind lantern was hung on the eaves of the shop. With the night wind, the dim light was blurred and fragmented, and the woman's eyebrows could not be seen clearly, only the lower half of her face with colorful makeup and the Bloody red lips.

It was the pretty widow from the tofu shop.
