Green Lantern

After bringing it here, he carefully looked around and found no ice cream, then stood behind Li Chengbi without saying a word, let Li Chengbi negotiate with Xuan Ming, and offered countless precious medicines.Although Xuan Ming didn't say to add more bargaining chips to Shen Hao's income, but what should be done is still to be done, Li Chengbi offered these many treasures, just wanting to seek peace of Huaizuo Li family.

This time, Mrs. Li paid a big price, and after many years, it is still unknown whether she will be able to recover.But seeing that Li Chengbi is already very capable at such a young age, it is likely that the Huaizuo Li family can slowly recover after years of accumulation.

After the things were presented, Li Chengbi looked at Shen Hao, "Mr. Shen, can you please explain the diagram of the array that you have presented? I think that Mr. Shen's behavior is not like that of Taoists. Taoist formations have always been restricted. It would not be good to injure Mr. Shen because it will save trouble in the next moment."

Shen Hao turned his head to look at Mo You, "Master?"

Before Mo You could speak, Xuan Ming had already ordered: "Go. Xiao Mo stays first, I still have something to discuss with him. Youzi, please entertain Mr. Li Zhongjin for me first."

Grapefruit bowed and said yes.Mo You also turned her head, nodded to Shen Hao, indicating that he could leave.

So, Shen Hao took Li Chengbi back to his study, Yuzi led Li Zhongjin away, and Xuan Ming left Mo You and Nanhai's two uncles and nephews behind, "Come, come, since the matter is over, we should discuss this matter." The issue of the reward for this mission..."

Shen Hao walked slowly, after listening, he knew that the boss had started knocking on the bamboo pole again, so he shook his head, quickened his pace and left quickly.Li Chengbi pretended not to hear anything, and followed Shen Hao all the way back to the study.

"Just here...Mr. Shen, are you also wondering why I have to talk to you alone?"

Shen Hao turned around, "Sit first."

Li Chengbi smiled, "I heard before that after my father was arrested for hurting people, when the sufferer only asked us for the formation map, I guessed in my heart what kind of person Mr. Shen is. I understand Mr. Shen. But what did Mr. Shen infer from his father's behavior?"

Shen Hao sat behind the desk where he usually worked, and lifted a pot of tea on the table, "It's not a guess. I just judge others by myself."

Li Chengbi's smile is very gentle, that smile is not like what he would show at his age, he took the tea poured by Shen Hao, "Actually, I came today just to see Mr. Shen."

Shen Hao looked up at him, "Why?"

"Because, the only one my father is sorry about in this matter is you, Mr. Shen."

Li Chengbi took a sip of tea, Shen Hao's face darkened a bit.

"That's not necessary." Li Chengbi put down the teacup, "I don't have the position and qualifications to comment on what happened 20 years ago. But since I can remember, I know that my father loves her very much."

"But your father imprisoned her for 20 years." Shen Hao said coldly.

Li Chengbi paused, then smiled again, "That's right."

"Then what qualifications does he have to talk about loving her?"

Li Chengbi raised his eyes and looked at Shen Hao, with a relaxed expression, "Mr. Shen, you are a kind person. Even if it is someone like my father who hurt you very badly, you will soften your heart because of his twists and turns. Like you Such a person probably cannot understand the feeling of not being able to love, not being able to ask for it, suffering so much, but being unable to let go, and finally destroying the one he loves.”

Shen Hao suddenly looked at him.

Li Chengbi laughed, "But, my father, he is such a person. The first half of his life was not smooth. In order to pursue great power, he practiced desperately, and in order to get the position of the patriarch of the Li clan, he tried his best. In the end, he got everything he wanted. Determine the goal, use whatever means, and finally, grab the results. He thought that everything in the world could be obtained in this way. Until he met the merman."

"Her name is Bingxiao." Shen Hao looked at him and said coldly.

Li Chengbi still smiled, "Mr. Shen, what do you think if I go out and ask the Dragon King of the South China Sea for my name, what will he say? In my eyes, they are all just monsters, just like in their eyes, we are all just monsters." It's just a person. The name is redundant. Unfortunately, my father understood this from Bingxiao's eyes at the time, but he couldn't see it through. He probably thought that he could use the same method to determine the target and use whatever means to make Bingxiao his A part of what you want."

"Everything just originated from superficial self-righteousness." Li Chengbi's smile gradually became ironic, "But the most ironic thing is that my father really fell in love with her later."

Shen Hao closed his eyes, "Is that also called love?"

Li Chengbi laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Mr. Shen, you are really interesting. Asking for nothing, tossing and turning, asking for something, as true as treasure, tell me, isn't this what you call love?"

His laughter was so loud and hollow.Shen Hao looked at him without saying a word.Finally, Li Chengbi stopped and wiped the water droplets from the corners of his eyes, "When I knew it at the beginning, I was as puzzled as you are. Is this practice of imprisoning the person I love for 20 years worthy of being called love? Mr. Shen, do you know?" I don’t know, why is the sad man knowing that he loves the merman, yet he still refuses to let her out of the magic circle, and let her be corroded by the Taoist magic circle every day until he is completely destroyed?”

Shen Hao shook his head.

Li Chengbi breathed a sigh of relief and took a sip of tea, "Because he was uneasy. Because he knew that he couldn't keep her, and he even knew that as long as he loosened his restraint on her a little, the mermaid would take the opportunity to escape without a trace. He couldn't find it. So, in this constant anxiety, he squandered the last chance, imprisoned the merman for 20 years, and completely wiped out the merman's love for him. "He giggled again, "The thing that makes me feel the most ridiculous is that the one who was tempted first was that merman. The one who was captured first was also that merman. The one who gave up first was also her. Are you curious? It's not surprising, it turns out that between the two of them, the one who really understands people's hearts is the shark."

Li Chengbi let out a deep breath, "The Suzaku ax that hurt you is an ancient divine weapon that the Dragon King of the South China Sea found for Bingxiao, the noble daughter of the Merman royal family. It seriously injured you... the Suzaku Yue is a token of love from Bingxiao to Li Zhongjin."

Shen Hao stood up in shock and knocked over the pot of tea that was already warm.

"It's ridiculous that my stupid father, when he received the token from the merman, he thought it was some insignificant thank you gift, and poured all his stupid inferiority complex into the merman. He thought he was contemptuous, He thought that he was strong enough to control the other party, and then fell into self-righteous love. In the end, he imprisoned his lover self-righteously, and even captured the merman's younger brother in exchange for the necrotic blood on the merman's body. In order for the sharks to live...one wrong step, one wrong step. My father strangled his most precious thing step by step like this."

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking.

There was a long silence in the study.

Shen Hao's throat was unbearably dry, but the pot of tea had been spilled and he couldn't drink it.

He suddenly lost his interest. If the whole thing was just because of a man's shallow inferiority complex and anxiety, then what was the reason for all these years of suffering?

"You may be thinking that the least worthwhile thing in the whole thing should be the ice cream."

Li Chengbi looked at the tea overflowing on the table and murmured to himself: "I've always thought so too. What's wrong with the mermaid? Why should she bear the inferiority and anxiety of that fool? She has endured so many years of suffering. What is it worth? I never understood, always... Then one day, I sneaked into that merman's room and saw my father lying on the edge of the merman's pool, falling asleep with tears on his face. , stretched out his hand, and touched my father's face from the air..."

"Suddenly... I didn't think about anything. After that, I have been working hard to learn the law and learn to manage family affairs by his side, just because I know that one day, he will probably die badly. At that time, The Huaizuo Li family can only rely on me to support them."

A desolate smile appeared on Li Chengbi's face, "My father loved my mother from the beginning to the end. But his love caused my mother to be imprisoned for 20 years, and she almost died. He did a lot of wrong things, but he didn't love the wrong person... I was born about 19 years ago, and my father adopted me from the hospital. He carried me to a blue-haired woman and asked me to call her: Mom."

The author has something to say:

☆、Song of Biling-Origin and Destruction

"Fate is something that cannot be explained clearly, but it really... has its own destiny."

"Huh?" Mo You asked suspiciously while holding an account book.

Shen Hao sighed, "Master, do you think there are people in this world who really get happiness after falling in love with a demon?"

"What is happiness?" Mo You asked coldly.

Shen Hao was dumbfounded.

He was stupid to ask Mo You such a question.

That day after Li Chengbi explained all the formation diagrams, he took Li Zhongjin and left, but Shen Hao felt a little dazed from time to time after they left.He didn't know what was going on, but this case always gave him a feeling of emptiness in his heart.Before Li Zhongjin left, he didn't say anything, but asked, "Is she feeling better?"

Shen Hao nodded, and Li Zhongjin left with Li Chengbi with a smile on his face.

That trace of smile made Shen Hao very uncomfortable, so that he became more and more frequent from time to time in a trance, and today he even asked that kind of question in front of Mo You.

As the head manager of the Mingyao Inn, Mo You has seen many such idiotic men and women, and he is no longer surprised, but Shen Hao, who has not worked here for a long time, has a human identity at the same time, so it is naturally more difficult to imagine. through some things.

Mo You thought about it, and felt that it was not good for him to indulge in this kind of emotion for a long time, so he said: "Although Bingxiao and that man have been wasted in vain for many years, it is not too late to wake up in time." Late."

Shen Hao couldn't help laughing, "Well, that's the truth." But when Master said it, there was an inexplicable sense of joy.

Mo You glanced at him, "Now that you know it, stop thinking about it, calm your mind, and continue to practice. Don't look at the inn's account book for now, and practice the paper talisman until you are proficient."

Shen Hao couldn't help grinning again, "Yes, Master."

One of the masters and apprentices practiced hard, and the other carefully sorted out the account books. In the courtyard in the afternoon, the fog had cleared, and the warm winter sun shone comfortably.Kong Qiu turned into a kitten, running from one end of the veranda to the other, and jumping from the tree in the courtyard to the roof.The pomelo puppet is floating around in the yard, holding a pile of bedding, apparently wanting to take advantage of the sunshine to dry it off.

"Kongqiu! Don't throw the leftover fish bones on me!"

Qianye raised her neck angrily, arguing with the little white cat on the roof, while Bingxiao sat on the veranda with a smile on her lips.

Shen Hao accidentally looked up from the talisman paper and saw Bingxiao.Bingxiao noticed and nodded at him.

Shen Hao blinked his eyes, but Bingxiao beckoned.

Shen Hao raised his head, "Master, Princess Bingxiao told me to go over."

After Li Zhongjin left, the Dragon King of the South China Sea asked the people in the inn to start calling Bingxiao, who was recovering temporarily here, "Princess". Naturally, he wanted to restore his identity.

"Go." Mo You also raised his head, glanced out of the window, then lowered his head and went to work again.

Shen Hao stood up and walked outside.Kong Qiu was pulled off the roof by Qianye, and after scratching Qianye's paw, Qianye chased him to the backyard.Bingxiao smiled, watching the little brother running away lively.

"Princess Bingxiao." Shen Hao walked over and bowed to her.

Bingxiao nodded, "There is no need to be so polite. Most of Uncle Wang's instructions are a bit arbitrary, so you don't have to follow his temperament. The address is not a big problem, and other etiquettes don't need to be so strict."

Shen Hao smiled, "It's nothing...the princess asked me to come?"

"I heard that the Suzaku Yue injured you that day, how is your recovery now?"

Shen Hao was stunned for a moment.Ever since Bingxiao was rescued by Qianye, she never took the initiative to bring up the previous incident. In the eyes of everyone, maybe it was because she was worried about her being imprisoned for many years. As if she regretted the fact that she easily believed in Li Zhongjin back then, she felt a little hard to appease.Now listening to her mention the events of that day, Shen Hao is a little apprehensive.

"It's...it's all right." Shen Hao touched his chest and replied.

Bingxiao looked at Shen Hao, "Nonsense."

Her tone was very firm and calm, just like usual, with a sense of announcing something in it.Hearing this, Shen Hao blushed for some reason.

That is indeed nonsense.Suffering such a serious injury, when he was on the verge of death, he was rescued with a potion that stimulated his potential. All the necrotic organs, meridians, and flesh in his body were pulled out, and then quickly grew back. The pain stayed in Shen Hao's subconscious for a long time, and even though he could regard himself as intact, panic and pain would erupt from time to time.Everyone in the inn thought he was really well, and he often dismissed Kong Qiu, Huang Yan and the others with the excuse of "just need to rest more." But Mo You often let him stay by his side, and often Will look up to see his situation... Now that Bingxiao exposed the lie again, he had no choice but to admit: "It's still a little bad..."

Bingxiao nodded, "The Suzaku ax yang fire is fierce, but I see you, after the fire energy was forced out of the body, someone must have used Yin-type spiritual power to protect your meridians, although this can keep your body You were destroyed by the fire power of Suzaku Yue, but it also caused you to suffer severe pain. During this period of time, in addition to self-cultivation, use what you have learned to adapt to the pain of this spiritual flow as soon as possible... After all, that Pain is just an impression left on your body by your old injury, it is not real, more practice can break the influence of this impression,"

Shen Hao involuntarily raised his head to look towards the study room, Mo You probably sensed it, raised his eyes, frowned, looked at Shen Hao twice more, then lowered his head to continue sorting out the books.

Bingxiao saw it in her eyes, and smiled sincerely, "It's rare for someone with a heart."

Shen Hao blinked, "Well, Master is very concerned about me."

Bingxiao looked at him, and suddenly laughed, "That's what I said... that's all, I called you here, mostly because of the Suzaku Yue. Now, seeing your appearance, you are slowly getting better. I have no body now. I don’t know what is suitable for you, so let’s use this little thing as an apology.”

After finishing speaking, a green lantern slowly emerged from her hand.

"Eh... this..." Shen Hao looked at the lamp in front of Fei Dao in surprise.

"It's just a Qingming Lantern... You are a human being, and I don't know what use it is for you. However, that day... I used this lamp to pollute his formation with my demon blood... Then, send your own distress message..."

"!!" Shen Hao was stunned.

Bingxiao looked up at him, "Put it away."

"...It turns out that the message Qianye said on the message bead was really you..."

Bingxiao lowered her eyes, "Put it away... I only thought about that day, even if I died, I didn't want to die in that prison. The formation couldn't be completely broken, only a gap was opened by my demon blood, and I didn't have time If you want to say something specific, and your own cultivation base has been exhausted...you have to use the most direct and convenient distress signal. I didn't expect that you would suffer such serious injuries."

Shen Hao swallowed a breath of cold air, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the lamp.

He wanted to say something, about Li Zhongjin, about Bingxiao, about the 20 years they had failed, about pain.But he opened and closed his mouth, and his heart tossed countless times. In the end, he still didn't say anything.

Bingxiao probably knew Shen Hao's question, but just shook her head, "I...I actually..." She paused, as if unable to speak, she shook her head again.

Shen Hao stood in front of Bingxiao in a daze, his whole body felt a little chilly, "Princess Bingxiao, do you know... a boy named Li Chengbi? About 19 years old..."

Bingxiao raised her head and looked at Shen Hao, "I know it. I named Cheng Bi."

Shen Hao let out a long breath, his feet were exhausted, and he sat down cross-legged in the veranda, "He...he said...'My father loved my mother from the beginning to the end. But his love , caused my mother to be imprisoned for 20 years, and almost killed her body and soul. He has done many wrong things, but he did not love the wrong person...'”

Bingxiao's face was cold and clear, "I know."

She lowered her head and looked at Shen Hao who was sitting on the ground, "But if you miss it, you miss it. For 20 years, the emotions that should have been wiped away by the mistakes at the beginning, and in the end, there was nothing left for the two of us. He lost me, and I lost him. From the moment he trapped me with the formation, there was no room for reincarnation, and after I got out of the formation... there was no possibility for us to see each other again. From then on , He was born as a human, and I died as a demon. I went to the poor and fell to the underworld, and I can't see each other in life and death. Some things, if you miss them, it will be a lifetime..."

Shen Hao showed a bitter smile, "...I don't understand."

Bingxiao smiled at this time, very sour, "You don't understand right now... If one day, you meet one..." She stopped again, "Oh, it should be your luck, and then, you can only It depends on the so-called fate. I can't see what you say and do... Tomorrow, we will go back."

"Before he left, he asked me, are you better? I nodded."

"Good boy." Bingxiao touched Shen Hao's hair, "If there is a destiny, goodbye."

The next day, Bingxiao left with the Dragon King of the South China Sea and Qianye.

Shen Hao went to see them off, "Master Qianye, Princess Bingxiao...she will get better."

Qianye smiled brightly, "Yes! I will ask Uncle Wang to take out half of my demon blood and give it to my sister!"

Shen Hao stroked his forehead helplessly, "It doesn't have to be like this..."

"Yes." Qianye seriously corrected, "Shen Hao, you didn't concentrate on reading the book that Mr. Mo You gave you... The blood of the mermaid tribe is what provides spiritual power. My sister has been suppressed by the formation for so many years, and because of unknown Because of the loss of a lot of blood, if there is no blood from the same source to replenish, maybe my sister would have turned into droplets and disappeared before the new blood was born! This is a very serious matter, don’t make me look like a joke Do you have a good expression!"

Shen Hao pursed his lips and suppressed a smile, "Yes, yes, Your Excellency the Mermaid Prince."

"I'm a mermaid, not a mermaid. I'm a son, not a prince. The only one in Nanhai who is qualified to be called a prince is Uncle Wang's son. Do you want to frame me for usurping the throne?!" Mr. Qianye said angrily.

"Got it, got it, I'm sorry, okay? Go, go... Otherwise, I won't be able to help imagining you singing in the sea..." Shen Hao finally laughed.

"Mermaid! Only here! Under the moonlight! Sing! In the sea... how do you open your mouth to sing in the sea, do you think I can resonate with scales?"

"You still know about resonance..." Shen Hao smiled and pushed Qianye into the alley of the maze.

Qianye rolled his eyes at him and disappeared into the chaos.The smile on Shen Hao's face gradually eased. Although this is not a perfect ending, it is also a kind of comfort that Bingxiao still has her family to accompany her in the end.

When I came back to my senses, there was a familiar man in red standing beside me.

"Are you here to ask for a lamp again?" Shen Hao glanced at him.

Rakshasa's expression looked different from usual, and his aura was even a little dejected.

"...Well, it's not that I won't give it to you. Why are you upset?" Shen Hao took out the lamp given by Bingxiao, "It was given to me by Princess Bingxiao of the South China Sea, so it can be regarded as something given by others... Sigh, if They come to ask me where the lamp is, how can I answer?"

Luo Sha came back to his senses, took the lamp, and said with a half-smile, "To be honest."

Shen Hao let go of his hand and shook his head.The door of the inn moved, and Mo You's figure came out from inside.When Shen Hao turned his head, the figure of the man in red was no longer beside him.

"What are you looking at?" Mo You asked.

Shen Hao shook his head, "It's nothing... Huh? Master, is it snowing?"

Mo You came over and stood beside him, watching Shen Hao raise his head, look at the sky curiously, and childishly wanted to reach out his hands to catch those tiny snowflakes like droplets... In the end, he still didn't say anything.

"It's probably just that the snow came early this year... Speaking of which, Master, give me another little bird." Shen Hao spread his palms, looked at Mo You, and said with a smile.

"..." Mo You glanced at him, "Don't you have one?"

"But..." Shen Hao scratched his cheeks, "If I hadn't had that little bird in my palm back then, Master probably wouldn't have felt it until I died on that beach. Chiba also asked me why The summons paper talisman still works after it was scattered by Li Zhongjin? Only then did I know that it was not my summons paper talisman that summoned you. After thinking about it for a long time, I guessed that it was the spirit of the talisman that day. So …For the sake of my life, Master, please give me one." He spread his palms and looked at Mo You flatteringly.

He was in a very good mood, and he probably really thought that Princess Bingxiao would recover and Qianye would grow up with Uncle Wang and Elder Sister.

"Go back...I'll give it to you." In the end, Mo You just said this to Shen Hao.

"Yeah." Shen Hao smiled, with blessings in his eyes for his friend going away, he agreed.

The author has something to say: The story in the third volume is finally over. I just want to say that Locke has worked hard. The story in this volume is written by Locke. I believe that many readers should also find the difference in writing style.

Unlike my roughness, Locke's writing has always been delicate, and the stories are arranged interlockingly. I can't help but want to know what will happen next.Locke is very good at describing the details, interspersed with the small actions and habits of each character in the story from time to time, even I can't help but like them.

The story of the fourth volume is about to begin, a story about Yan Mei and the earth-bound spirit, "I have waited for him for 500 years, I don't care about the slight difference in the soul, but I found that you are not him after all, and I will continue to wait."

Of course, the story in the fourth volume was written by Xuanqing himself, I hope you like it. O(∩_∩)O

☆、The Slope of Luoying-Winter is Coming

Tick-tick-tick, it started raining outside the house at some point, and the rainwater slid down the eaves, forming small puddles on the stone steps, reflecting the gray sky.The night was gloomy and the sky was getting darker. The red lanterns in the corner had been hung by grapefruits, illuminating a small area in front of the main hall.The trees in the courtyard have gradually merged into the night, leaving only vague outlines.

It's already January, and the weather is still extremely cold.Maybe it was because of the enchantment, but it was not as cold inside the inn as it was outside. Shen Hao also went out to run errands for Yuzi that day and suddenly realized that winter had really come.Although the inn is not like the outside world which is just in the midst of cold winter, it is not considered warm.As the New Year approached, there were more and more rainy days, and often the sun could not be seen for several days, and even the air smelled damp.

"My lord, the tea is cold. I'll go to the kitchen and change another pot." Yuzu bowed and said, picked up the teapot, walked around the screen, and walked towards the door.

"Yeah." Xuan Ming shrank back into the quilt, and tugged the quilt that was a little loose because of his movements, "Yuzi, bring me a plate of refreshments, and let Xiao Mo come over by the way." Xuan Ming will keep holding The right hand that was writing the book retracted into the quilt, struggled for a while before carefully stretching out the left hand, and continued to pick up the book to read.

A slender and powerful hand stretched out to close the quilt that Xuan Ming had spread out again, and couldn't help but press the corner of the quilt. "If you're so afraid of the cold, don't read." A slightly deep voice said helplessly.

"No, it's too boring if you don't do anything." Xuan Ming moved under the quilt, finally found a comfortable position, and signaled the people beside him to move the charcoal fire closer with his eyes, and said a little bored , "And it's colder to do other things, why haven't there been any interesting cases recently."

The person sitting on the chair beside the bed reluctantly lifted his clothes and stood up, but he didn't continue to move the charcoal brazier that was already very close to the bed, but stuffed the warm hand stove into Xuan Ming's quilt. "Go to sleep for a while, you don't look very well today, do you..." The deep voice hesitated to speak.

"It's nothing, Ah Jiu, so don't worry about it. It's just that it's been too cold recently, so I haven't slept well." Xuan Ming hugged the small hand stove in his arms tightly, feeling a lot warmer in an instant, and squinted comfortably Eye.

"If you really can't stand it, go to Fengjing with me. It's like spring all the year round, and it's better for your health. If something really happens, I will naturally carry it for you." Feng Jiu looked at it disapprovingly. After a quick glance, Xuan Ming, whose whole body shrank into the quilt, proposed again.

Xuan Ming shook his head, stroked his hair that was hanging down in front of his eyes, and said amusedly, "That's not okay, if I wasn't here, what would happen if those boys demolished my inn?"

"How is it possible, with Mo You here, it's impossible not to be able to control them. And here, how can ordinary non-humans dare to come here to make trouble?" Feng Jiu sat back on the chair, playing with her slender fingers holding the teacup, lowering his head slightly, not knowing what to plan, "If you're really worried, I'll take my little sister back too."

"Don't be kidding, if you dare to take Xiaoyan back, why don't you dare to appear in front of her now? Besides, you took her away, who will handle the case in the inn." Xuan Ming glanced at it funny Feng Jiu, who looked a little uncomfortable, put the book in his hand back on the bedside table, and retracted his hands under the quilt.

"Mo You is here, I'll go back today. I have some dragon scales, I'll have someone make a dress for you later, it won't be a problem for you to stay on the bed like this." Feng Jiu stood up and helped again. Xuan Ming covered himself with the quilt, turned around and disappeared in place.

It was pomelo who came in before Moyou, and put the tray with refreshments on the bedside table, and replaced Xuanming's cup with hot tea. "Has Lord Feng Huang left already? Why don't you stay for dinner?"

"He left in such a hurry because Xiaoyan came back. Where's Xiaomo? Why hasn't he come yet? Move the charcoal brazier over, I'm about to freeze to death." Xuan Ming moved out of the quilt, and stretched out from under the quilt. He hugged the teacup and took a sip, then quickly stuffed a piece of turquoise tea into his mouth, and then retracted into the quilt again in satisfaction.He didn't forget to nod towards the charcoal brazier not far away, signaling Yuzu to move closer.

Youzi shrugged helplessly, "No, son, if you get closer, you will accidentally burn something. It's okay to burn down this room, if you just burn your quilt..." Yuzi said here After a pause, he glanced at someone who was completely huddled under the quilt, "Then you can only bear the original cotton quilt."

Xuan Ming hugged the quilt tightly and shrank back into the bed, distanced himself from the charcoal brazier, and never said anything about moving closer.This quilt was stuffed with the fire phoenix feathers that Feng Jiu found with great difficulty, and it was much warmer than that cotton wool.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk." The sound of knuckles hitting the screen frame sounded just right on the outside, as if the person who made the sound had calculated it on purpose.

"Xiao Mo, come in." Xuan Ming said while wrapping himself in a quilt to ensure that no wind could escape.

Yuzi went over to help Moyou carry the ledger to the desk by the window, poured a full cup of hot tea for Moyou, and then left to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Boss, what do you want from me?" Mo You sat down at the desk, and quickly sorted and put away the ledgers in front of him without raising his head.

"Why, I can't talk to you if I have nothing to do?" Xuan Ming said a little depressed, looking at the thick stack of books on the desk, he felt a headache.I comfort myself in my heart, this must not be my illusion, it must be because I haven't slept well recently that I have a headache, headache is also a disease, and I cannot work when I am sick.

"Sorry, I have a lot of work and I don't have time to chat with you." Mo You said in a cold voice without raising his head, while continuing to quickly flip through the ledger in his hand, and write some notes from time to time, not shutting it down at all. .

"Okay, okay, I'm really a workaholic." Xuan Ming couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said a little discouraged, "Did you take any interesting cases recently?"

"I'm disappointed. Because of the weather, many ethnic groups have already started hibernating, and even fewer people have come out to make trouble. Recently, the inn has not received any cases, let alone interesting ones." Mo You said coldly.

"Huh? No case? What are Xiao Yan and Kong Qiu busy with?" Xuan Ming asked in surprise. He thought that the two people disappeared every day because they were busy with a case. He didn't expect that there was no case at all. .

"For Kongqiu, it's normal for you to sleep on the beam of the kitchen every day because of the cold weather and sleepiness. You didn't notice. Huangyan seems to be fascinated by something human recently. I don't know the specifics. Grapefruit may I know." Mo You kept working, and he didn't forget to continue answering Xuan Ming's questions.

Xuan Ming didn't really care about what the staff in the inn were busy with after work, "Since there are no cases, it would be nice to give them a little vacation. By the way, how is Xiao Hao's practice recently?"

"Conscientiousness and diligence, the skill of making talismans has already been achieved. It's a pity that the spiritual power is still weak, and it is useless when using talismans." Mo You couldn't help frowning. Hao's ability is not very satisfactory.

Xuan Ming thought about the effect of the talisman paper he had seen before, and nodded thoughtfully, "It is indeed lacking, it seems that more practice is needed. Why don't you have a simple case next time and let him handle it alone , during the peak season, it can also reduce the burden for Huang Yan and Kong Qiu, can't it?"

"Well, okay, I will arrange it next time." Mo You nodded, recorded it in the notebook that he carried, seemed to think of something, and added, "I checked his soul that day, it seems a little strange , this may be the reason for his lack of spiritual power."

"This matter is a little complicated, you don't need to worry about it. I can only say that his ability is not only what it is now, but you can squeeze it even more."
