Lost Charm

After a short break in Fenglin Building, Xu Qin and Yu Chijiong quietly jumped out of the window. After all, everything here is made of fog. Where did they get the fog and silver? In order to avoid unnecessary quarrels, only Be the overlord tea drinker.There was only one street formed by the fog, so even if the two escaped, they would have no alleys to go, so they had no choice but to walk back to the street, pass through the crowd, and head towards the palace.

After walking for a while, both Xu Qin and Yu Chijiong stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and said "no" in agreement.

Leaving aside Xu Qin, Yu Chijiong often went to the palace to look for Sun Lie. He grew up in the capital, no matter where he started from, he could count how many steps he had to walk to reach the palace with his eyes closed, but now the number of steps is enough. However, the palace did not appear in front of my eyes.He jumped a few times in place, but he couldn't see the red and yellow landmark.

"Ji Hai, I don't seem to be able to see it. You saw it... Forget it, I didn't ask." Yu Chijiong subconsciously asked the people around him, but he realized that Xu Qin's eyes were not as good as before, so he pretended not to ask. Pass.

"I'm only seeing vaguely but not completely blind." Xu Qin explained coldly, otherwise how would he buy his small notebook?

"Then let's continue walking now?" Yu Chijiong coughed lightly.

"Go, we have to find the end, we can't let this ghost street expand indefinitely."

Although Xu Qin said so, they were still on the bustling street after walking for half an hour, and when Yu Chijiong saw a familiar building in front of him, he had to pull Xu Qin to stop again.

"Ji Hai, look over there, is this the second Fenglin building or the one just now?" Yu Chijiong pointed out the direction to Xu Qin and said.

Xu Qin narrowed his eyes and stared at it for a while, then said frankly, "I don't know, let's try it out."

Xiaoer, who was inviting guests at the entrance of Fenglin Building, saw them pointing at the restaurant, so he took the initiative to step forward and said, "Guests have really good eyesight, we at Fenglin Building dare to recognize the second, and no one dares to recognize the first... Huh? Aren’t the two guest officers upstairs? Why did they turn out to be on the street?”

It seems that there is no need to even try it out, this is the room they entered just now, Yu Chijiong didn't blink, and said casually: "I just had a quarrel and fell out of the window."

The waiter in the shop was startled when he saw it, and Xu Qin couldn't hold back the corners of his eyes. Who would believe this?

"...Oh, so that's the case, so do we need to call a doctor for the guest officer?" The waiter came to his senses, the customer is heaven, he can do whatever he wants.

"No need. It's rare to come out. Let's go out for a walk and stay in the room first." Yu Chijiong swept the dust off his sleeves, as if he really fell from the second floor to the street and dirty his clothes of.He continued: "By the way, do you know that Liji Rice Shop is open today?"

Li Ji Rice Shop is the closest store to the entrance of the palace, and the owner inside is naturally not an ordinary person, but an embroidered clothes arranged by Beizhen Fusi.Because of the geographical location, almost no one would go there to buy rice, but everyone in the capital knows the existence of Liji Rice Shop, and some people even use the phrase "go to Liji Rice Shop to buy rice" to refer to palace officials. enter the palace.

"Liji Rice Shop?" The waiter started from the side of the shop and said, "Is there a shop like this? Our Fenglin Building has always used Chenji's rice, and it is at the end of this street. If you want to buy rice, you might as well go to Chenji have a look."

"Okay, I'll take a look." Yu Chijiong nodded, as if he was really asking about buying rice, rather than testing the existence of the palace.

The two walked around the street unwillingly, but no matter whether they walked forward or back, they would eventually return to Fenglin Building.Xu Qin had to admit that not only could they not find King Zhao, they were also trapped in this endless cycle of ghost streets.When he thought that this might be a pit specially set up by King Zhao for them, and they jumped in excitedly as expected, he wished to hit the wall and end the rest of his life.

Yu Chijiong silently pays attention to the few shops he usually visits. Along the way, the shop where he would go to buy buns has appeared four times. It is obvious that this ghost street is only allowed to enter but not to exit.

When they stopped in front of Fenglin Building again, the familiar waiter walked over, but this time his tone was not as cheerful as before, but calm and controlled.

"Guests, it's late at night, please go to the room and rest."

Yu Chijiong was about to ask a question, but Xu Qin pressed his hand to prevent him from speaking, for no reason, just because of all the ghosts around them, he suddenly stopped everything, turned around and stared at them with burning eyes, as if at this moment Only to find that they are not the same.

One of the dealers said at this time: "The time has come, please go back to your room and rest."

As soon as these words came out, the ghosts around them also spoke. Although the content was different, the central idea was to tell Yu Chijiong and Xu Qin to return to their rooms.

Xu Qin quickly glanced around, and secretly made a military gesture. There are a lot of ghosts here. If they attack at the same time, it will be difficult to solve it.However, he was sleepy enough, and instead of having a drink with them here, it would be better to have a head-to-head encounter to see if he could get out - this was Xu Qin's idea.

But Yu Chijiong had another opposite idea, Xu Qin was no longer the body of Shengyang, and he would definitely not be able to deal with the ghosts here that are as numerous as dust.He glanced at Xu Qin who was about to attack, and he was really afraid that he would fight the ghost on the spur of the moment, they were too few to fight a war of attrition.He immediately asked the waiter in the shop, "Are there any guest rooms?"

"nature."

"Okay, let's take a room."

"plz follow me."

Yuchi Jiong secretly pulled Xu Qin, signaling them to retreat first.Xu Qin struggled for a while, seeing that Yu Chijiong was so persistent, he let him go.Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked into Fenglin Building, the waiter asked them to pay the previous tea money and room deposit.Yu Chijiong patted Xu Qin's shoulder reassuringly, and calmly took out a gold ingot from his waist, pretending to be an upstart: "Xiao Er, give me the best quiet room."

The shop clerk accepted the huge amount without changing his face, and still said in that deadly tone: "No problem."

Xu Qin squinted at Yu Chijiong, did he know that this kid changed his career as a thief on the street just now?

Yu Chijiong returned a smug smile to Xu Qin, so that he would not have to worship such a versatile self.

Xu Qin turned his face sideways, expressing that he didn't know this shameless man.

As soon as the guest room door was closed, Xu Qin was the first to attack, saying, "What are you procrastinating for? We're wasting time here, but the fog and ghosts keep spreading."

But Yu Chijiong said: "There are too many ghosts, you can't handle it at all, and, they want to drive us into the house so much, don't you think they are plotting something?"

Xu Qin said angrily, "I don't think so." The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a game set up by King Zhao, and he was underestimating it, and he was following the opponent's way. Apart from tearing up the prince, he couldn't think of any other way to appease the anger in my heart.

Yu Chijiong ignored Xu Qin's sulking.Xu Qin, who has experienced 300 years, is used to having to stand up for himself when things happen, and protect the little apprentice behind him when nothing happens.And his biggest weapon against monsters is yang energy, so he developed the bad habit of giving out yang energy regardless of his own body, it seems that he will be spanked again when he goes back.He checked the window by himself, and said in surprise, "Ji Hai, they locked the window and prevented us from opening it."

Xu Qin snorted coldly, but still came to the door automatically to check, and said, "I said I don't need to play with them...the door is open."

Yuchi Jiong wondered, "He locked the window but didn't lock the door?"

A flash of guilt appeared on Xu Qin's face, and he said, "That's right."

Yuchi Jiong was silent for a while, and then said: "...[-] times."

Xu Qin, who instantly understood what Yu Chijiong was talking about, frowned, and said, "Yuchi Zixi, you are enough!"

Yu Chijiong gave Xu Qin a meaningful look, and said again: "If you haven't realized your mistake before we go back, forty strokes."

Xu Qin: ...!

Yu Chijiong didn't say anything more on this topic, and when he stepped out of the room, he immediately realized that something was wrong - it was too quiet, so quiet that it seemed that only he and Ji Hai were left alive in the world.

Seeing that Yu Chijiong stopped still, Xu Qin knew something was wrong, and the two of them went downstairs, and even went out of Fenglin Building and walked to the street to look around - the ghosts that forced them into the room, including the waiter, It's all gone, the street is terribly empty now, and the only thing that hasn't disappeared is the lingering mist.

"How long has it been since we were driven into the room? Didn't we disappear too quickly? This really confirms the name of Ghost Street." Yu Chijiong suddenly thought of something, and said, "Ji Hai, you've heard of the Four Seasons of Baihua Pavilion Is it a room? I heard that rich people like to go there, and staying in those rooms for an hour costs tens of thousands of silver, why don’t you take this opportunity to open your eyes, no, I mean looking for someone?”

The corner of Xu Qin's eyes twitched, and he said, "When are you still thinking about that now?"

Yu Chijiong felt that it was very reasonable, took Xu Qin's hand and ran towards Baihua Pavilion, saying: "Anyway, they are here, let's see if there is no missing piece of meat." What he didn't say was, how can a room in Baihua Pavilion be so packed? The reason for the exorbitant price is that the games inside are all the latest in the capital, and guests have new surprises every time they go. They have never heard of the unfeminine King Zhao going to the Four Seasons Room. If Ghost Street was really made by King Zhao, it stands to reason that the Four Seasons House here will only be an ordinary luxury house.

The result was disappointing.

There are many eye-opening things in the Four Seasons Room. Yu Chijiong didn't expect that even this point of Ghost Street could be restored so carefully. He couldn't help but wonder if this street was created by King Zhao.As for those toys, Yu Chijiong studied them very happily, but Xu Qin's face was as dark as a coal mine.

"Okay, if you've had enough trouble..."

Xu Qin suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and Yu Chijiong also raised his eyes from the pile of toys, and the two of them looked at the door in unison, and there were footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door, occasionally mixed with the girl's laughter and surprise. call.

The familiar hawker cries came from outside the window again, Xu Qin slightly nodded at Yu Chijiong, Yuchijiong quietly opened the window and glanced out, wrinkled his head immediately.

Once again, the streets were filled with haunted ghosts.
