Strange Records of Xijing

"Come on, come on, it's a fire-swallowing show!" Pei Huaiyu pointed to the stage and excitedly said to Su Yan.

On the stage, a topless barbarian came up.He held it in the middle of an iron rod with his right hand, and a piece of black cotton cloth was tied to each end of the iron rod, and the barbarian held a brown bottle in his left hand.

The barbarian smiled at the crowd, raised his left hand, took a sip of what was in the bottle, and then sprayed at one end of the iron rod. A flame roared out of his mouth, igniting the cotton cloth on the iron rod.

The barbarian threw the bottle to his companion, and quickly alternated his hands, turning the iron rod, and the flame on the iron rod spun along with it, drawing winding lines of fire in the air.

There was a burst of applause from the crowd.

At this time, the barbarian put his hands in the middle of the iron rod and twisted it forward and backward, and the iron rod was split into two.The barbarian holds a short iron rod in each hand, and easily throws the iron rod upwards. The cotton cloth tied to the two iron rods touches one, and the flame spreads to the other iron rod.

The iron rods fell, and the barbarians crossed their hands in front of their chests, catching the two iron rods, only paused for a moment, and then danced quickly again.The waves of fire brought up by the iron rods formed various patterns in the air, which dazzled people.

While waving the iron rod in his hand, the barbarian walked back and forth on the edge of the stage, bending down from time to time and spraying fire dragons towards the crowd above, causing bursts of exclamation.

It wasn't enough for Pei Huaiyu to cheer along with the crowd, he grabbed Su Yan's arm with one hand, and when he saw the excitement, his five fingers shrank, which was even more terrifying than the claws of Taoist Wan back then.

Poor Su Yan could only sway back and forth with Pei Huaiyu, and from time to time pull Pei Huaiyu, who had gotten carried away, to bend down and squat down to avoid the flames above his head.

When the barbarian swallowed the two iron rods into his mouth one after another and extinguished the flame, the fire-eating scene was over.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom.

A burst of intense drumming made the crowd who had been noisy since the end of the fire-swallowing scene gradually quiet down.

Only a crisp silver bell was heard, and four Persian women dressed in various tulle came onto the stage and occupied the four corners of the stage.They raised their hands, put them together obliquely above their heads, bent their left legs, and only supported the ground with their right legs.

The music sounded, and four masked Persian women danced to the beat.The gauze they wore couldn't cover their bodies at all. Through the gauze of various colors, one could see the various strips of cloth used to cover them, and the jade-like skin.

Hearing the gasps of the people beside him, Su Yan couldn't help but think of the illusion and seduction techniques that the fox girl had mentioned to him when he was still in the mountains.

He said inwardly that he was not good, and stretched out his hand to touch Pei Huaiyu's acupoints. Pei Huaiyu said "Ouch", looked at Su Yan as if he had just woken up from a dream, and asked, "Su Daochang, why did you hit me?"

Just as Su Yan was about to open his mouth to explain, he heard the voices on the stage getting faster and faster. Four Persian women raised their right legs, supported the ground with only their left feet, shook off the tulle, and danced like spinning tops.

Pei Huaiyu didn't care about other things, and looked at the table again, his eyes were filled with the ripples of various colors when the tulle was turned, and his eyes were once again as obsessed with others.

Su Yan simply grabbed Pei Huaiyu's collar this time, and pushed aside the crowded crowd with his other hand, and forced Pei Huaiyu to walk out of the crowd.

Pei Huaiyu was used to being pampered and pampered. Where was Su Yan's opponent? After a while, he stepped on the ground with his heels and was pulled out of the crowd by Su Yan as he stepped backwards.

"Su Daochang, what's the matter with you?" Hu Xuanwu, who had been waiting for a long time, didn't finish watching. No matter how good-tempered Pei Huaiyu was, his words were full of blame.

Su Yan explained: "This Hu Xuanwu has watched too much, it is not good for people."

"Why not?" Pei Huaiyu asked again.

Su Yan didn't know how to explain clearly for a while, so he could only say: "This kind of Hu Xuanwu has absorbed part of the illusion, and it is not good for people to watch for a long time."

Pei Huaiyu was still itchy, but seeing Su Yan's words were so firm, he couldn't decide for a moment whether he should squeeze into the crowd again and watch the meeting again.

At this moment, bursts of cheers suddenly erupted from the crowd, and the drum beat became more and more urgent.Pei Huaiyu felt itchy in his heart, grabbed Su Yan and squeezed into the crowd again.

"Don't look too much, just look at it for a while!"

I saw another woman dressed in yellow tulle coming up on the stage. The tulle shone with a warm light from time to time. Obviously there were many pearls and gems sewn on it.

Pei Huaiyu took a closer look, and excitedly said to Su Yan: "Daozhang Su, look quickly, it's the girl we met yesterday, the one who took a special look at me in the crowd yesterday!"

Su Yan looked in the direction Pei Huaiyu was pointing at, and the woman in yellow gauze just cast her gaze in this direction, smiling and nodding towards Su Yan.

Pei Huaiyu was almost drunk: "There is such a beautiful woman in the world, it is really an eye-opener."

Not only Pei Huaiyu, most of the onlookers were overwhelmed by the stunning beauty of this Persian woman.Although this woman only wrapped her body with some cloth strips and covered her head with a layer of tulle, there was an inviolable sense of holiness around her, like a snow-capped mountain in the distance, which seemed close at hand, but was actually far away. the end of the world.

The drumbeat became a little bit heavier, and the woman raised her hands high, her thumb and middle finger together, bent her left leg, and danced along with the drumbeat.While spinning around, the dancers at the four corners gradually approached the center, enclosing the woman.

The rapid drumbeat stopped suddenly, and a cloud of white smoke suddenly appeared on the stage, blocking the view of the onlookers.

When the white smoke dissipated, the other four women had disappeared, leaving only the woman in yellow gauze on the stage.

Everyone exclaimed in unison, and even a child pointed to the center of the stage and shouted: "Daddy, Mommy, you're gone, my sisters are gone!"

Everyone burst into bursts of friendly laughter.

Pei Huaiyu wiped her eyes vigorously, and couldn't help but ask Su Yan: "Daozhang Su, is this also a kind of illusion?"

Su Yan shook his head, reached out to knock on the stage, and stretched his thumb and index finger to show the height, and said: "There is a secret passage under this stage, the rapid drum beat suddenly stopped, white smoke came out, everyone's attention was attracted Go to the top. Taking advantage of this time, a piece of wood on the stage is removed, and people can go down and go to the back along the secret passage."

"So that's how it is." After hearing Su Yan's explanation, Pei Huaiyu suddenly felt that the attractiveness of the performance on the stage had weakened a lot.

I don't know if it was Su Yan's illusion, but he always felt that after he explained clearly to Pei Huaiyu, the Persian woman on the stage looked over keenly.

After the Hu Xuan dance was over, the other four women came to the stage again and saluted everyone together with the woman in yellow gauze.Afterwards, the barbarian who had previously performed the fire-swallowing show came up, holding a plate in his hand, and walked past the crowd one by one.

After watching such a wonderful performance, all the onlookers gave up their pockets one after another. Copper plates and pieces of silver fell on the copper plate one after another. After walking half a circle, the reward money in the copper plate was about to overflow.

Pei Huaiyu was very excited, not only took out a handful of broken silver and threw it into the copper plate, but also took off a jade pendant hanging from his waist and threw it in.

Hu Ren raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and said something in Persian to Pei Huaiyu, and when he was about to leave, a slender hand suddenly stretched out from behind - it was the woman in yellow gauze.

The woman in Huangsha picked up the jade pendant from the copper plate, returned it to Pei Huaiyu with both hands, and said in a not-so-fluent Mandarin: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but this thing is too precious, we deserve it."

When Pei Huaiyu saw the beauty talking to him, his heart was drunk, and he waved his hands again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, a sword is a hero, and a beautiful jade is a gift for a beauty."

The woman in yellow gauze pursed her lips and smiled, even though she covered her face with tulle, everyone was intoxicated.

Someone next to him recognized Pei Huaiyu's identity and laughed loudly: "Girl, you can keep it. The son of Princess Minglang, this kind of beautiful jade can be as many as you want, it should be yours, it is yours. "

The woman in Huangsha's beautiful eyes turned her eyes, and she looked at Pei Huaiyu suspiciously: "Are you the son of Princess Minglang?"

Pei Huaiyu thought she was afraid, so she put on a smile: "Girl, you can accept this jade."

After all, he imitated the appearance of the handsome character in the book, turned his head and walked away, naturally he didn't see behind him, the woman in Huangsha looked at him with a moment of joy in her eyes.

Su Yan had a panoramic view of Huang Sha's reaction, and then pushed the crowd away with both hands, and chased after Pei Huaiyu.

The two walked around the West Market for a while, and Pei Huaiyu handed over the things he had bought to the servants who followed him, while he and Su Yan went to the famous Baiyun Building in the West Market for dinner.

In the afternoon, Su Yan made an appointment with a few Taoist priests from Taixuan Temple to discuss the Tao together. After the two of them had dinner, under Pei Huaiyu's repeated pleading, he finally nodded and agreed to accompany Pei Huaiyu to Xishi to watch Hu Xuanwu tomorrow, Pei Huaiyu Only then did he let him go.

Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the West Market, Su Yan felt a strong wind coming from behind him, and was about to block it, when another person jumped out from the other side and knocked him unconscious with a stick.

When he woke up again, Su Yan found that he was tied to a bed, his limbs were tied up with water-soaked hemp rope, and two sharp knives were fixed on both sides of his neck, with the point of the knives pointed at Su Yan's neck.

Su Yan tried to turn his wrist, and found that he had lost all feeling in his hands and feet, and he didn't know how long he had been tied up.

Just when Su Yan was thinking about how to get out of this predicament, he heard a creak and the door opened.

King Jin's face quickly appeared above Su Yan, and he looked at Su Yan with a smile: "Su Daoist, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Su Yan sighed, thinking that Pei Jingxing really didn't lie to him, he just said yesterday that King Jin would not let him go easily, and today he was arrested by King Jin.

"King Jin, Xijing is so big, if you ask me to find a piece of clothing, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack." Su Yan didn't give up hope, and decided to reason with King Jin first. He recalled what he had seen and heard in the past few months. I followed suit, "I'm just an unknown little Taoist priest. When it comes to finding things, King Jin, you can order as many people as you want."

"But what I want is you." King Jin stretched out his hand and patted Su Yan's cheek, "Okay, you can stay here obediently for one night. After tonight, I will see if you are willing to go or not." Find that dress."

King Jin dropped these words and took the people away.The door was closed again, leaving behind a somewhat depressed Su Yan.

He tried to twist his body - it was useless, his limbs were tightly bound by the hemp rope, let alone move, his ten fingers were numb.Su Yan had no choice but to relax his mind, abandon distracting thoughts, and focus on his bones. Afterwards, Su Yan's body made a few clicks from top to bottom, and his whole body shrunk a circle.

Although Su Yan's collarbone surgery was just a small matter, and the hemp rope was tied tightly, this collarbone surgery was not enough to let Su Yan escape, and the four joints were still stuck by the hemp rope, but at least it could make Su Yan feel more relaxed.

Su Yan turned his head cautiously again, his eyes happened to meet a half-open window.Through the window, you can see the dripping water outside, glowing with a faint golden light.It can be seen that this house was built on the water, and it is very likely that it is on the lake on the Jinwang Mansion.As for the golden light, Su Yan guessed it was the reflection of the afterglow of the sun.

Su Yan withdrew his gaze and landed on a table a few steps away from the bed.

There was an incense burner on the table, and some white smoke occasionally drifted out of it, and one of them got into Su Yan's nose accidentally, and Su Yan felt that his eyelids became heavy and dizzy.

Obviously, this white smoke is not a good thing, and it is probably the culprit that caused him to be unconscious until now.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Su Yan simply gave up the unnecessary struggle.He was not afraid that King Jin would harm him - although King Jin had kidnapped him, it was obvious that King Jin was pushed by Su Yan's uncooperative attitude, so it could be seen that King Jin really wanted something from him this time.

For this kidnapping, King Jin probably wanted to drag him into the water, forcing him to help King Jin find the clothes.

clothes.

Thinking of this, Su Yan was full of doubts.

According to what Pei Huaiyu said before, the Jin Palace is the old Jin king's queen, and the previous emperor specially designated this place for the Jin Palace.Does Old King Jin know the woman whose bones are buried at the bottom of the lake?And what kind of clothes can a woman still miss many years after her death?

The evening wind blows and night falls.
