Can the villain be coaxed today?

The skylight shines in from the side of the bedroom through the thin window paper, and the pure black tables, chairs, and beds reflect a metallic luster. This place exudes the same atmosphere as the majestic and majestic hall in front, and it has been unoccupied for a long time. The air was filled with the heavy smell of wood, and the small table by the bed even had a thin layer of dust on it.

With a "squeak", the wooden door was pushed open.The translucent young female ghost floated in with her tongue lolling, glanced left and right, greeted behind her with great interest, and said, "Gong Zhi, Gong Zhi, look inside, it's the room inside!"

Shen Yan stepped in, nodded to her politely, and said, "Thank you, but your tongue fell out again."

"what?"

The female ghost reached out her hand to touch her face, and as expected, she touched a piece of wet and bright red tender meat. She smiled embarrassedly, and quickly stuffed it back with the tip of her tongue, and tidied it up. I greeted Shen Yan as a girl who has not left the cabinet, and said with a shy smile: "I'm sorry Mr. Shen, I'm a hanged ghost, my tongue will always fall out unconsciously, I've tried my best to control it, I hope I didn't scare you."

Shen Yan said politely: "No."

The female ghost is a talkative female ghost, and she chatted with him a lot on the way here. Of course, most of the time she sang a one-man show, and Shen Yan said a nonchalant "um", but she was still very happy, and she could see that she was born before she was born. She is a very enthusiastic person. From her one-sided hot chat, Shen Yan learned that she has a very gentle name, Qiu Yu. If you ask her about the mortal world, she will tell you in a daze and somewhat self-satisfied way: No. remember!She has been staying in the Shifang Mountains consciously since the beginning. Due to her stupid talent and low cultivation level, she has been unable to maintain her human form so far. Even speaking normally, she has to be careful of her tongue falling out of her mouth. Shen Yan has been hit frontally countless times along the way. , gradually began to numb.

Although ghosts stay in the human world because of obsession and do not want to reincarnate, it is not uncommon for a situation like Qiu Yu. If the human form cannot be cultivated for a long time and the soul is unstable, it will cause the memory to degrade over time, and when it can maintain the human form When the time passes, the memory has been wiped blank by the passage of time. Such incidents are not uncommon. Unless a person born in the ghost path is very talented and can compress this blank time to a minimum or even not, most of the rest of the ghosts, memory All are more or less missing.

Shen Yan asked: "Are these rooms of yours usually unoccupied?"

The bedroom in front of me is well-furnished, with excellent lighting, and it is of high quality at first glance, but inconspicuous places such as corners are still covered with a layer of fine dust, and even the bedside table is forgotten by careless cleaners Yes, wipe it off, and your hands will be covered with ashes.

"Ah," Qiu Yu screamed shortly, looked at the black ash on Shen Yan's fingertips, slapped his forehead, and said angrily: "We ghosts usually don't live here, and this place faces south, and Fengshui is not very friendly to us. At the beginning of the construction of the apse, it was intended to be reserved for visiting guests or friends of the king, but later we found that there were no visitors at all, and the king seemed to have no friends...so it has been idle, but We have regular cleaning! Don't worry, I'll tell the uncle in charge, let him call someone to clean up, it won't take too long, just wait!"

As she spoke, she left Shen Yan on the spot alone, her translucent body drifting away like on a hot wheel.

Shen Yan stood there for a while, took out a towel from his arms, slowly wiped the dirt on his fingertips, then took out a change of clothes from the Qiankun bag, and fumbled the set for more than ten hours He changed his dirty clothes, hesitated for a moment, folded them and put them on the bedside temporarily. After finishing all this, he loosened his hair comfortably, changed the original complicated bun into a neat high ponytail, looked around again, and made sure With nothing to do, he opened the door and left the room leisurely.

In such a huge hall of ghosts from all directions, he only knew Shi Bantang, and he seemed to have no other place to go except to find him.When he passed a pavilion, he stopped a Piao and asked his teacher where Bantang was. The A Piao looked him up and down curiously, pointed him in the direction, and finally asked, "You are the king who brought you back." Is it Mrs. Yazhai?!"

Shen Yan: "...?"

Seeing his silence, Ah Piao took him for acquiescing, circled around him happily twice, clapped her hands and said, "I thought Sister Amity Yu was lying to us! But she was right, Mrs. Wang is very good-looking. , is very suitable for the king, when will you marry our king?! The bride's wine should be prepared three months in advance! If there is not enough time, the taste will not be good!"

Autumn Rain... Mrs. Wang... Bridal Wine...

Shen Yan was silent for a while, and finally supported his forehead a little speechlessly.

It was he who underestimated that girl. He only thought that she just couldn't control her tongue. He didn't expect that she would have such rich plot associations and such an excellent talent. It would be a pity not to write drama excerpts.

Brother Ah Piao was still waiting for his answer with eyes full of expectations. He was not angry at all, and wanted to defend himself, but after thinking about it, he gave up even the excuse—if things like rumors spread too far, it would be too late. Time will break itself, and it is better to let nature take its course than to waste your time.

He didn't say yes, and he didn't say no, he raised his hand under the bright eyes of little brother Ah Piao, and said without changing his face: "Thank you."

Then he walked away without haste.

Duchuan Palace.

Shi Bantang sat on the floor, his black robe made his snow-white complexion stand out, probably for the convenience of movement, he pulled the two sleeves up to his shoulders, his delicate porcelain arms were swinging in the air, In the black, it is so bright that it can blind people's eyes.

Shi Bantang held the booklet and flipped through a few pages, with three impatient folds printed between his brows, "Purple dragon and golden beast... what is this thing? Take it away, take it away!" He threw the booklet away with a wave of his hand away, and picked up another copy from the table next to it.

There is a sea of ​​files beside him, many books are scattered everywhere, piled up in all directions, extending out in a mess with Shi Bantang as the center, he is sitting among the books alone, moving Uninhibited and rude, like a devil boss sent by the top to spoil books.

Ji Min sighed beside him, dutifully picked up the volumes he threw out one by one, and neatly stacked them on the side, and when he was done stacking, he asked his master Bantang, "I said, my lord, what are you doing?" What are you looking for? You tell me, and we will help you find it together, there are so many volumes, how long can you look through by yourself."

Shi Wantang said: "Go, go, don't bother me, bring me all the things you recorded and collected before, as long as they are about the Shifang Mountain Range, I won't believe it today, I still can't read it. arrive."

Ji Min curled his lips, sighing in his heart that the child has grown up, and even his mother doesn't believe it. The obedient and obedient Tangmei who was waiting to be fed can no longer be seen. I think that when Tangtang first came to the Shifang Mountain Range, he was Pulling him up with a handful of shit and urine, in order for him to thrive, he almost contributed his innocence, but now it's good...

Ji Min hid his face and wanted to cry, and left this sad place full of grief.

When she was going out, she happened to meet Shen Yan who was coming in a white suit.

"Uh, you are..."

Of course, it is impossible for Ji Min to tell an outsider about his mother-child relationship with Shi Wantang. He wiped the corner of his eye in the other's probing eyes, and said righteously: "It's okay, I just recalled the past with the king, and I have a lot of emotions. The king has always been sincere to me. Xiang Sui expressed great emotion, I forgot myself for a moment, tears welled up in my eyes, and I couldn't help myself, I lost my composure a little, Mr. Shen forgive me."

Shen Yan: "..."

Forget about me for a moment, with tears in your eyes?Are you talking about Shi Wantang?

deceive who?

But he didn't say much, he just comforted him with dignity: "Great compassion and joy hurt your body, pay attention to your body."

Ji Min: "Alright Mr. Shen, I will meet Mr. Shen."

The two stood for a while, exchanging greetings, and finally Shen Yan was able to enter the hall.

As soon as he stepped in, a yellow shadow hit his face, and the strong wind rushed straight to his cheeks!Years of vigilant nerves and keen intuition saved Shen Yan, he didn't even see what it was, and avoided it without thinking——

With a click, a somewhat quaint scroll fell to the ground.Shen Yan fixed his eyes, frowned slightly, and after picking it up with a bow, he looked at Lord Ghost King who attacked him. Before he could speak, he was choked back in fright by the mess all over the floor and his arrogant attitude.

"This……"

"Shen Yan?" Shi Bantang raised his head and saw him, he greeted him naturally: "Find a place to sit by yourself, I'm busy, I don't have time to talk to you."

It is strange to say that they were still hostile one day ago, but now they are able to talk to each other with such a familiar attitude. Perhaps it is not that they are familiar with each other quickly, but that Shi Wantang is not very wary of others at all. , especially a seemingly harmless person like Shen Yan who keeps his face and hides all the undercurrents behind him.

He savored these words carefully, and unconsciously slowed down the movement of bending over to pick up the book.

"Are you helping me find the elixir?"

All the strangeness was just a thought, and the inexplicable emotions that arose at that moment did not ferment in his heart at all. He returned to reality in an extremely sober and self-restrained way, picked up the book and patted it, flipped through two pages at random, and asked .

"...Huh?" Shi Bantang was probably stunned by the shock of too much knowledge. Hearing him ask this question, he was at a loss for a moment, then raised his head belatedly, and scanned the latter's face hesitantly for two seconds, " Yes, I found it for you...then why don't you hurry up and help?!"

Shen Yan looked down at him, couldn't hold back, and said, "Are you stupid?"

Shi Wantang stared at a pair of round eyes, glaring at him: "Can you talk?! If you mock me again, I won't do it! You search all over the mountains and plains by yourself!"

The scrolls all over the floor were picked up one by one, and Shen Yan sorted them out carefully. He has a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and his clothes, shoes and socks must be clean and tidy, and he doesn't see things thrown around, so he doesn't like other people's touch very much. , different from other patients, he is a very active patient who is willing to be treated. The past two years have not been bad. When it was the worst in the early years, he could stay in the bathroom for hours without sleep and wash his hands repeatedly. If someone in the research room buttons If he made a wrong button and he happened to see it, the image of that button would appear in his mind all day long, and he would want to correct it.

"Don't throw away the books you've finished reading. Put them together and put them on the table next to you. If you don't know how to classify them, you can give them to me. I'll do it for you." Holding the book in his arms, after confirming the content, he summed it up in different places. His side face is as sharp as a knife, and his eyes seem to contain the frost and snow of a thousand years. This is the appearance of a boy who rocks a boat. The handful of ice and snow in the cold, the few words only made him more difficult to get close to, and the gentlest white clothes couldn't shake his temperament at all. He was cold, sharp, and sharp-edged.

...But if he turns slightly sideways and sees his eyes, you will find that it is another completely different color. Shi Bantang can't quite tell that feeling, but from yesterday to today, he has already I have noticed it more than once, those black and shiny eyes are full of alienated light, and there seems to be a bit of gentleness hidden in that light that can accommodate all willfulness. If I have to use a metaphor, it is like a piece of fertile land. Planted a garden full of fragrant roses, but because the owner rejected all the seeds for fear of poor breeding, it appeared barren and scarce.

He couldn't help wondering, Shen Yan used to...was it really like this?Or, did he just reveal another side that no one knew about after meeting himself?

His anger punched the cotton, but at the moment neither of them paid attention to these details anymore. Shi Wantang's complicated eyes fell on Shen Yan. After a long time, only subtle noises could be heard in the hall. The sound of pages turning.
