Guanqingzhai

Just when Chu Jue was about to speak, there was a roar in Guanqing Studio, and the two looked at each other, then turned around randomly.I saw that those people had already left, and the door of the house was wide open.Heavy snow blew into the room like this, Hu Yue wanted to go in to see what happened, but was stopped by Chu Jue, he pointed at the group of people, and the last one was Xuan Mingzi, Xuan Mingzi was also like them at this time The same, with this weird smile on his face, he walked at the end with his hands down, in a daze.Already completely unconscious.

Hu Yue wanted to stop, but was stopped by Chu Jue. Chu Jue grabbed Hu Yue's arm, and the two watched a group of people walk out of Guanqing Zhai.

Hu Yue said: "Why did I still fall into the trick after lighting the Chibi Ninghunxiang?"

Chu Jue did not answer his question, but instead asked: "Xuan Mingzi's Taoism is rare in this world, and he is still invincible, and my brother even used the soul-condensing incense, but he still can't stop him, so do you know that Xuan Mingzi What kind of sorcery did Mingzi encounter?"

Hu Yue sighed and said, "This is indeed beyond my expectation."

Chu Jue said: "So if you go to that so-called inn and take what you think you want, then it will be my turn to watch you go." Chu Jue frowned and said in a low voice: "I will definitely be very happy then sad."

Hu Yue was startled, and he said, "Could it be an illusion?"

Chu Jue shook his head: "It's more powerful than illusion. It uses a kind of spell. There are some doubts in it, and I don't understand it for the time being."

Hu Yue said: "That is to say, what we see is illusory?"

Chu Jue looked at Hu Yue with disappointed eyes and said: "Yes, everything they saw was fake. What they took back was actually the body of the spell. There are many kinds of things that can be made into this thing, but so The curse of the vicious and hard to fall is also rare. This kind of thing basically starts to attack in the middle of the night. Generally, if you escape once, the spell power will increase the second time. For a while, there was no such person after that.”

Hu Yue took out the ancient jade in his bosom, he said: "But Xuan Mingzi gave me this piece of jade, this thing is not fake."

Chu Jue lowered his head and thought carefully, "So there must be a link that we missed."

The two stopped talking, and both fell into deep thought.At this time, the pedestrians had long disappeared, and Hu Yue sighed repeatedly: "Brother Dao, brother Dao, it seems that I have no ability to protect you. If you go all the way well, I will definitely..."

Standing beside him, Chu Jue watched Hu Yue beating his chest and stamping his feet without any emotion without tears, and without any contempt, he said instead, "Daoist Xuan Ming's trouble is doomed, brother Do not be sad."

Hu Yue originally wanted to put on airs, and then used Chu Jue's strength to investigate the matter carefully, and Chu Jue said that the matter was over.He couldn't put on a show either, he looked back at Chu Jue who was about to turn around, and said, "Brother Chu, I want you to help me with this matter."

Chu Jue finally waited until Hu Yue was willing to bow his head, and he was not as straightforward as before. He said, "Yes, but Brother Yu has a request."

Hu Yue thought to himself: It seems that picking up the plane and blackmailing him is not his forte alone. He said: "Brother Chu, it's okay to say."

Chu Jue said: "You can't be involved, and I have the full power to decide what happens next."

Hu Yue was a little bit apologetic, a little bit of the embarrassment of a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain, nodded after a moment of silence and said: "Brother Chu will have to thank you for everything."

Chu Jue sighed, staring into the distance and said: "Let's start now, the time is just right, it seems that we have been calculated in the dark, and we should go to the White Sand Inn."

Hu Yue pinched the piece of jade that Xuan Mingzi left him, and he said, "Brother Chu, I think there is another possibility, would you like to listen to me?"

Chu Jue said, "How?"

Hu Yue said: "I may... have guessed why Xuan Mingzi gave me this piece of jade."

Chu Jue smiled slightly and said, "It seems that Brother Xian has returned to normal. Yes, we are going to the White Sand Inn now. Let's go."

Hu Yue took down a lantern from the entrance of Guanqing Zhai, and the lantern turned on without fire, and the white light shone in the dark night, and only the scenery under his feet could be seen clearly.

Chu Jue walked on Hu Yue's left, and said, "The exact location of Baisha Inn is actually in that poem."

Hu Yue said as he walked: "Following the waves, the moon is infinite, and when the water is flowing. The number of three and three. Then it is the third word, Wuliu, and there is a willow leaf in the paper that Xuan Mingzi gave me. This is the homonym of Wuliuxiang."

Chu Jue said, "So I went there during the day."

Hu Yue looked sideways: "What did you find?"

Chu Jue said: "I didn't find anything, only one strange place."

Chu Jue said: "It's just a small alley. I walked to the end very quickly, so I didn't notice that I came out. But when I came out, a shopkeeper holding a child passed by the intersection, and the child passed by the intersection. He started to cry and yelled that someone inside was waving at him and seemed to want to catch him in. The shopkeeper only thought the child was crying, so he gave him a few words and took the child away. But I found that the child was on the arm There was obviously a red handprint, as if someone was really pulling him hard, but the shopkeeper didn't respond at all."

Hu Yue squinted at Chu Jue and said, "What does this mean?"

Chu Jue smiled slightly and said, "This means that there is something there that adults cannot see, but babies can see."

As soon as he finished his two words, a cold wind suddenly blew up. The wind was so strong that both of them covered their faces with their hands, but the wind came and went suddenly, and the surroundings returned to their original appearance in an instant.

Hu Yue and the two put down their arms, but they were surprised to find that there was a path paved with wicker in front of them.

Hu Yue murmured: "Could it be true... that you came to look for me?"

Chu Jue said: "In that case, let's go on the road."

The two walked side by side. Although there were not many willow leaves on the ground, such a long distance was what the gust of wind said. Hu Yue took the lantern in his hand and pointed it at Qian. leaves."

The two continued to walk forward, and Liu Ye appeared in front of them again.Chu Jue said, "This is no ordinary willow leaf."

Hu Yue asked: "What is this?"

Chu Jue squatted down. He touched the ground with his hands, but he couldn't pick up the leaves on the ground. He said, "Actually, there are no willow leaves at all. Everything is just our illusion."

Hu Yue said: "This direction also happens to be Wuliu Lane, so why bother?"

Chu Jue said: "Its intention will definitely be known later."

Hu Yue looked sideways slightly and said, "I'm afraid it's too late!"

Chu Jue laughed, but said nothing. The two walked towards Wuliu Lane stepping on the illusory willow leaves.Along the way, there were no other passers-by, and the surrounding scenery also unknowingly changed slightly.

Chu Jue said: "It seems that what we entered this time is the Baisha Inn that hadn't caught fire 20 years ago."

The two stopped for a walk, and in the alley was a well-run inn, and the people coming and going were very noisy.If it weren't for all the things that happened before, Hu Yue and the others would definitely think that this is just a well-run inn.

There was still a boy blocking the guests at the door. After he finished sending off a group of guests, he immediately spotted Hu Yue and they greeted them with a smile.

Hu Yue said: "It's not like, it's not like at all..."

Chu Jue was still one step ahead of Hu Yue. He walked towards Xiao'er, Hu Yue hurriedly followed, but the two found that Xiao'er did not come to greet them, but walked away from them and was courteous to the two behind them. Bowing.

Chu Jue and Hu Yue looked at each other, but they couldn't be sure whether the child really couldn't see them, or pretended not to see them, because it was so real that they could clearly feel it when they passed by. The sound of a child's breathing.

Chu Jue said, "Go ahead."

Hu Yue nodded, and entered this seemingly fake inn with extreme vigilance.The layout inside the inn is very particular. Ordinary stores usually just hang some colored flags and colored cloth at the door, with some words to attract business written on them.But this store is very grand. After entering, there is an extremely long corridor. There are darkroom boxes at both ends of the corridor, and there is an exquisite crystal palace lantern and glass screen outside each door.Along the way, it seemed like entering the Dragon Palace.

The only strange thing is that all the decorative calligraphy and paintings here are all children-themed.Even the screen is a picture of "Nine Sons Playing".

Walking through this luxurious corridor, you will be greeted by all kinds of tempting aromas, making you feel hungry.There are many tables and chairs in the hall, and these tables and chairs are made of precious wood.From the west to the east, there is a counter with a hanging tag made of exquisite lacquerware. The name of the dish is written on the tag. "Lotus toothpick" and so on, and even some "Bu Nai Soup" and "Hun Yang Si Hu" (the names of the dishes appearing in the article are all famous dishes in Tang and Song Dynasties, and Hun Yang is actually whole sheep. Meaning) are sold, and wine is even more numerous, there are all kinds of wine.

Hu Yue took a deep breath and said: "What a grand inn, this simply compares to the 'Fengle Building' in the capital."

And at the counter stood a well-dressed shopkeeper. He fiddled with the abacus and accurately calculated the guests' meals and drinks, without missing a single penny.

Chu Jue pointed to one of the empty tables and said, "Sit down first?"

The two sat down, but there was no child coming up to greet the guests. The shopkeeper raised his head from time to time to take a look at the surrounding situation.

Chu Jue knocked on the table, then pointed to under the table, there was a small box under the table.Hu Yue wanted to lower his head to pick it up, but was stopped by Chu Jue, who said, "Young brother, don't forget what happened to Xuan Mingzi."

Hu Yue looked up at Chu Jue. Chu Jue had a warning look on his face not to be greedy. He shrank his hands and sat back in his seat.

Hu Yue propped his chin with one hand and said: "It seems that we can't carry things, eat delicious food, and drink good wine. Are you here to meditate?"

Chu Jue said with a smile: "If you want to drink, I can treat you next time, but now I have no chance to treat you after you drink." Both of them stared around and found that there was a cup of tea under each table. The lacquerware box is exquisite in workmanship. If it is not lying on the ground like that, others will think it is all the imperial objects in the palace.

Hu Yue said: "But those diners didn't notice the box?"

Chu Jue said: "Isn't this habit of picking up fallen objects just to take advantage of people's unpreparedness? Because others didn't find out, so they want to take it for themselves as soon as possible."

While Chu Jue and Hu Yue were focusing on those various boxes, large and small, some guests in the seats noticed the boxes, and they quickly picked them up and pocketed them.

But as soon as those people pick up the box on the ground, a child's face will appear in the dark of the inn. The child cried miserably, but no one noticed the movement in the private room except for Hu Yue and Chu Jue who heard it.

After sitting for a while, there seemed to be fewer boxes under those stools.But the box under Hu Yue Chujue's table was still there.At this time, a person came in front of them, and this person was none other than the shopkeeper.

He squinted his eyes and smiled very kindly, he said: "Did the two masters come here to buy a shop, or to eat wine?"

Chu Jue said, "We are here in response to an appointment."

The shopkeeper said: "I saw that the two of you have been sitting for a long time, but you didn't order food and drinks. Instead, you looked around. I don't know if the distinguished guests you are waiting for have come?"

Chu Jue said with a smile, "We don't know if we will come or not."

The shopkeeper giggled, and he said: "This man is really friendly, so why don't you know? Didn't you make an appointment here? Why don't you have some small pots of dried fruit first and wait while you eat? Don't occupy your stomach, wait for the distinguished guests to come and have a banquet together."

Hu Yue said: "Shopkeeper, have you seen anything under the table in the store?"

The shopkeeper looked under the table. He shook his head and said, "There is nothing? Could it be that we are afraid that our place will be dirty? This guest officer can rest assured that we sweep the floor here with splashing water, and we will sprinkle it after sweeping." Some incense powder foams are not slippery and fragrant when stepped on the ground.

Hu Yue nodded and said: "The shopkeeper has put his heart into it, since that's the case, let's bring some seasonal fruits and stir-fry ginkgo."

The shopkeeper frowned, shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is not a seasonal fruit. Now, it's time to eat Zhaobai lotus root."

Hu Yue was taken aback, and then he smiled and said, "Oh, if that's the case, let's have some white lotus root."

The shopkeeper nodded with a smile, then left the table, went back and told the child to prepare.

Hu Yue said: "This time period is a bit wrong."

Chu Jue approached Hu Yue and said, "Look carefully at the child behind the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper was extremely fat, so the child hid completely behind the shopkeeper, and when the shopkeeper turned around, he only showed his figure slightly, but there was a white cloth hanging on the child's face, and he couldn't see his true face clearly under the white cloth.
