Guanqingzhai

Hu Yue took a closer look under the moonlight, and found that it was Chu Jue who met in the ruined temple yesterday.Hu Yue was slightly surprised, thinking that after all, it was someone else's place, and she was indeed rude, so she hurried forward and said, "Your Excellency, please don't take offense if you don't invite yourself in, it's rude."

Holding the wine ladle in one hand, Chu Jue held the packages in the other and said, "Don't worry about it, sir. I was waiting for you to come, and I wanted to warm up the wine and prepare the food in advance. I didn't expect that the distinguished guest came late at night, and he didn't come out." It's beyond Chu's expectation."

Hu Yue smiled wryly and said, "Did you not guess my situation?"

Chu Jue put down the wine spoon in his hand, then handed the package to Hu Yue and said, "I guessed it, but I didn't guess that the husband would run to me with disheveled clothes and no shoes on. Fortunately, I have a change of clothes inside." , although there is a difference in our stature, we are still much stronger than our current body."

Hu Yue took the package, and then Chu Jue led Hu Yue into the house. There was nothing unusual in the house. It was an ordinary study house, without rare curios and antiques from wealthy families, but there were many books.There are four treasures of the study, and there is a small chessboard. There is no decoration in the room, and everything is practical.Chu Jue fetched a basin of water for Hu Yue: "Sir, wash it first. I have heard a little about what happened to Mr., and I will tell you in detail after you clean it up."

After speaking, he closed the door and went out.Hu Yue opened the package, and the clothes inside were just ordinary people's clothes, not fancy clothes, and the size was exactly the same as Hu Yue's. Hu Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he cursed secretly: "You said you didn't expect it? You're too lazy to bluff people." It's a strange person. But judging from his words and deeds, he doesn't seem like a generation of evil spirits."

Hu Yue checked the clothes and found that the quality was better than his previous ones, she pursed her lips and washed and put them on on her own.After opening the door, Chu Jue had already set up food and wine on the tables and chairs outside the courtyard, besides the bright moonlight, there was also a candle lamp lit.

Holding the wine cup in his hand, Chu Jue smiled and invited Hu Yue to a seat under the moonlight.Hu Yue stared at him blankly, with an unspeakable emotion stuck in his chest, but he couldn't grasp it no matter what, he smiled bitterly, it seemed that he was really lonely for too long.

Hu Yue clasped her fists and said: "Brother Chu is so elegant. Although there is no sign of wealth and honor here, it does make people linger. The house is in a human environment, and there are no cars and horses. Brother Chu is really elegant."

Then he pointed to his clothes and said, "However, brother, I'm afraid it's a little too small for me. It fits me very well. Brother Chu's ability to judge people is also admirable to Yue."

Chu Jue heard his teasing voice, and just smiled slightly: "Are you going to ask Mr. to drink with me in disheveled clothes? Wouldn't that be an abrupt beauty?"

Hu Yue frowned and said: "You are a man, how can you be a beautiful woman? I think I still have to tell the whole story, I am not a man, and it is okay to make friends, but if it is a matter of romance, please forgive me .”

Chu Jue handed the wine cup to Hu Yue, shook his head and said: "The word "beauty" has existed since ancient times, why is there only women? You don't hear that "the beauty is always in the capital, and it is even more important to rule the world." Such a beauty is not a virtuous person. Elegant and handsome man"

Seeing that he cited ancient arguments, Hu Yue stopped arguing with him about his remarks.After drinking a cup, I feel that the five viscera are warmed up, and the Lingtai is also cleared.He opened his mouth and asked: "Then I'm not talented, so let's go straight to the point. Your Excellency, tell me about the weird things we encountered last night and tonight."

Chu Jue took a sip slightly, and then said, "Have you heard of 'City of Death', sir?"

While drinking, Hu Yue shook his head and said, "Such strange talks are not the words of sages."

Chu Jue said: "If I say that this woman is a ghost waiting to be punished in the city of vain death, would you believe it?"

Hu Yue stopped raising her glass and said, "She has a pulse and heartbeat, how could she be a ghost?" '

Chu Jue said, "Because she is a living dead."

Hu Yue looked at him, and Chu Jue said, "The reason why she became a living dead is deeply related to the death of Chen's concubine Li a few months ago."

Hu Yue squinted her eyes, took a sip of wine, and waited for Chu Jue to tell more information.

Chu Jue put down his wine glass and said to Hu Yue: "I can only infer one or two details, but the trouble now is that Mr. is regarded as the same 'sinner' by ghosts because of his contamination, so naturally he will arrest you Get punished."

Hu Yue blinked, looked at Chu Jue and said, "Then if I am captured, I will definitely drag you into the water next time, and I will be disembowelled, and you will definitely not be much better. So if you don't want to be with me Hell is being hanged, I think we should find a way to solve the current difficulties."

Chu Jue didn't expect him to say such rascally words, he was at a loss for words for a while, but after thinking about it, he laughed instead, and said, "Would you like to bet with me, sir?"

Hu Yue pursed her lips and said, "Oh, you mean to see if I can drag you down to be buried with me after I die? Don't worry about that, you will never be forgotten, brother."

With a flash of light in Chu Jue's eyes, he lifted the jug and filled the two of them with wine, and said, "How could that be? Of course I know what Mr. means. I see that Mr. is still fond of this cold house, so I will use it This meal is a gamble. If Mister can reveal the cause of this living dead before I do, then this meal will belong to Mister."

Hu Yue laughed, glanced around, then shook her head and said: "This place feels very quiet, but I don't have any bets I want to bet on, so I think it's better to forget it. Since you have nothing else to disclose, I'll take my leave first."

Chu Jue expected that he would say that, so he drank the wine slowly and said: "If the husband loses, can you call me brother? And..."

Hu Yue frowned, waiting for him to continue.Chu Jue looked at Hu Yue and said, "I want my husband to fall in love with me."

Hu Yue still stood up, but the atmosphere was cold. He stared at Chu Jue for a long time, and then said coldly, "Do you know my origin?"

Chu Jue also stood up and said: "People like us, why should we know each other's origins. Mr. Hu is a famous Mr. Leng, and he has never missed anyone. This is also a strange story in Fireworks and Willow Lane. Now I really want to know if you will fall in love with me. And I also want to know if I will fall in love with you. There are definite emotions in the world, but it makes people feel interesting. Everything in this world has a cause and effect of love. Then I would like to see what it would be like if I were in the cause and effect, but the only one who made me think so is Mr.

Hu Yue sat back suspiciously, picked up the wine glass, looked at Chu Jue who also sat back and said, "I can't show love to Ruhua Meijuan, but to you..."

Chu Jue was embarrassed for a moment, not knowing what Hu Yue would say.Unexpectedly, Hu Yue said directly: "How can you make me feel affectionate for a man like you? I will deceive myself and imagine you with my eyes closed as the moon palace Heng'e and the Han palace Feiyan. But your voice is not Yingying's voice." Yingyanyan's voice is low and not clear, and it will be a failure if she makes a sound."

The corner of Chu Jue's mouth twitched, and then he said, "How will you know if you don't try?"

Although Hu Yue is so confused that he doesn't even know who he is, he is naturally alert. He can feel that although this person is polite in every way, he is even more warm towards him, but that kind of alienation is something that no one has ever experienced before. of.This feeling is exactly the same as some of his sense of alienation from the world.When such a person fell in love with him, he felt it was ridiculous, but at the same time, he felt an unspeakable impulse from the bottom of his heart. Maybe such a person is the right person for him to get along with?

Hu Yue looked puzzled: "For the sake of a house, so wronging myself, ah, no, at the same time wronging Your Excellency, is it necessary?"

Chu Jue looked at Hu Yue, and then laughed out loud, almost spilling the wine on his sleeves, he laughed and said, "There is no one who despises me so much in this world, except Mr."

Chu Jue thought about it, and said: "Didn't you ever think that you might win? At that time, I will give you a house for nothing, and all the information I know will be revealed without any concealment. Treat me as a loser."

Hu Yue saw that he could not succeed in his plan, so he came to provoke the general.But in his heart, he was eager to try. For some reason, he didn’t reject this place, or even this person. It’s been a long time since he felt like this. He touched his chin. Love, so I don't mind. In the past, I didn't talk about women's sex, but I was afraid of being stained with love debts and disappointing my beauty, but now this person... even he himself is puzzled by this point.Doubt is also a little lonely.

He smiled and said: "Ah, the method of aggressive generals, okay, then I will take this bet as you said, if I win, then I will be the master of Guanqingzhai, if I lose, then I will call Your Excellency to cry!" Brother, as for using affection..."

Chu Jue shook his head and interrupted Hu Yue's words: "You can take your time, don't worry, and... I can see that you don't hate me either. If you don't hate me, I will have a chance."

Hu Yue almost fell off the stool.Supporting the stone table, he cupped his fists and said, "I thought I was the best among the thick-skinned, but I didn't expect that a mountain is as high as a mountain. I have to ask Your Excellency for advice on this point."

Chu Jue laughed, and the two of them drank wine and chatted freely about the affairs of the world.

And when Hu Chuerren was drinking all night, in the dark of the corner gate at the edge of the city, there appeared a corpse that had been cut to pieces, but without a head.

This time, the officials could no longer sit still.A group of Taoist monks were directly invited to open the altar.A group of people surrounded it, like an annual meeting.

Hu Yue and Chu Jue were also among them. Hu Yue pushed Chu Jue with his elbow and said, "Have you noticed anything, Your Excellency?"

Seeing that he was talking cliche again, Chu Jue pinched the bridge of his nose and said in a slightly tired manner, "What I can see is what you can see. If you continue to cliché like this, I will find it boring."

Hu Yue rolled her eyes, and said to herself, "Let's see if she will show up again tonight."

At this moment, the palm of the corpse suddenly spread out, and Hu Yue Dingjin saw that another piece of paper of a Yasha ghost was falling down.

Suddenly a gust of wind came, interrupting all the monks' way of superseding scriptures. The piece of paper seemed to be fluttering and erratic, was blown by the wind, and finally fell on Hu Yue's body.

Everyone ran away in fright, Hu Yue grabbed Chu Jue who was about to step back a few steps, and then said to him seriously: "Today, I will trouble you to let me stay in Guanqingzhai."

Chu Jue hummed, but his eyes were on the faint sound of chains dragging outside the city wall.

Soon the corpse was taken away by the yamen servants again. The monks and priests were still chanting sutras, but the crowd was obviously much smaller. Chu Jue pulled Hu Yue out of the crowd, and then approached him and said, "This Yasha paper-cut two This time, together with the prison uniforms worn by the husband and the woman at night, I think there is a place that the husband should visit."

Hu Yue said: "Your Excellency is talking about the City God..."

Chu Jue smiled, nodded and said, "Mr. Smart, you really know everything."

Hu Yue turned her head and smiled dryly at him, bowed and bowed.

The Town God's Temple is usually full of incense, but today it is written in the almanac that it is forbidden to offer sacrifices to immortals.So it was deserted, with only a few old women squatting at the door selling incense.

Coupled with the fact that it was rainy in autumn, even though it was daytime, it was shrouded by dark clouds, making it look extraordinarily gloomy under the gloom.

Hu Yue and Chu Jue stood outside the temple gate, Chu Jue made a generous gesture of invitation, Hu Yue coughed a few times, straightened his clothes and went in to check.

Just after the two raised their legs and stepped in, the old woman at the door suddenly let out a strange laugh, and then the temple door closed automatically when there was no one there.

Hu Yue glanced behind him and said, "What does this mean?"

Chu Jue opened the candlestick in his hand and picked up the candlestick beside him and said, "Please enter the urn."

Once the gate of the City God is closed, there is no other light except for the candles on the four sides. The ghost messengers on both sides are holding various objects and standing on the left and right. Its appearance is hideous and eerie.It is very different from the Yangjian court.

Hu Yue didn't have much fear, instead, he looked at each of them one by one, and sighed in his heart: "Those things that are considered eerie in this world, in the final analysis, have their own thoughts. If there is no concern, how can it be scary?"

Chu Jue said with a lamp: "Sir, what's the matter?"

Hu Yue said: "So it seems scary, if you feel fear in your heart, you must have thoughts in your heart, and the ghosts in your heart will cause trouble, so why bother?"

Chu Jue hummed and said, "What you said is true."

Hu Yue finally couldn't bear it and said: "Then trouble, brother, can you stop walking with my arms around me? How can I walk like this?"

Chu Jue said sternly: "What Mr. said has its own truth, but now the ghosts are causing trouble, and we are bare-handed. We should support each other and be extremely careful. If we get closer, we can take care of us."

Hu Yue silently recited the Four Books and Five Classics in his heart, and forcibly suppressed the curse words that were about to rush out.Almost choked out internal injuries.

I have seen a rogue, but I have never seen a more rogue than him...

Hu Yue could only focus on the surrounding environment wholeheartedly, and the Lord City God squatted in the center, with the merit book and the book of life and death on the case.On both sides are the civil and military judges, the subjective gods of each department, civil and military officials, bull-headed and horse-faced, wandering gods day and night, ghosts of gold and silver in shackles.

It's like justice in the yang world, but it is performed by gods and ghosts.Things that cannot be done in the world, but this underworld can have karma.Hu Yue squinted at the surrounding ghosts and gods, and suddenly fixed her eyes on the lock ghost.

Hu Yue took the candle lamp in Chu Jue's hand. Although the appearance of this ghost messenger was different from that of the night man, Hu Yue recognized him with his eyes.

Holding the candle in his hand, Hu Yue said, "It seems that we have come to the right place."

If you look closely, the lock ghost is indeed holding the chain in one hand, and the head of a person in the other. This head is none other than the head of Concubine Li who was transferred away by wild dogs yesterday.

Concubine Li's head was held in the hands of the clay sculpture, her eyes were tightly closed, and she was silent.Her body was nowhere to be found, and suddenly a strong smell of blood came from the back of the hall.

Hu Yue was vigilant and wanted to remind Chu Jue beside her, but when she turned her head, Chu Jue no longer knew where he was going.Hu Yue gritted her teeth, and finally cursed inwardly, regardless of gentleness: "This sudden death ghost, actually ran away at this time? He has no shame in flirting with me, cowardly, ruthless and ruthless! Talk about him as a villain!"

Hu Yue stepped back slightly, focusing on perceiving all the subtle changes around him, he sighed, and still wanted to find this weird young man of aristocratic family again, so as not to be beaten up first when he went out, saying that he abandoned him first.

He stared at the head in the hands of the Yinsuo ghost guard, and moved to the back hall.He whispered towards the back of the hall: "Chu Jue, are you in there?"

But no one answered him, and he said dumbfounded: "I knew it was a troublesome person at first glance, but I didn't expect it to be more troublesome than I imagined."

Hu Yue's short delay in looking for Chu Jue put him in danger, and the candles around him seemed to be sensed and extinguished one by one.In the end, there was only the only candle in Hu Yue's hand left.

Hu Yue subconsciously used her hand to protect the candle in her hand, but the candle was drawn into a line in an instant just like last night, and then the original warm yellow light revealed a strange green light.
