The mountain ghost blows out the lights

Yan Jinping took Shen Lianxing and pushed open the door of the inner room.

The interior hasn't changed much, and it's still the same as when Shen Lianxing first came here, with comfortable and gorgeous furnishings.Today is daytime, and the sun is shining warmly from the window, which is divided into small pieces by the carvings on the window frame.

There are light and fluttering crocodile yarns hanging everywhere, and when someone walks by, there is a breeze, and the crocodile yarns are set off layer by layer like waves.It is not very clear at night, but it is more obvious during the day, and the color shades are slightly different, creating a sense of ever-changing.

It's just not as bright as at night, and it's not too high. Looking out of the window, it's just an ordinary street scene in Yanjing City.

The two entered the house, it was still broad daylight, Li Chuizhu was looking at the store in front, Babao didn't know where to play, and the crane girl was nowhere to be seen, Yun Tong was still doing his dehumidification in Langhuan Pavilion, the house It was empty, there was no one there, and it was very quiet.

But you can hear the sound of people talking and laughing outside the window, so it's not very quiet.

Maybe it's because it's cold now, or it's purely out of comfort, on the back of the beauty couch that Yan Jinping often lays on, there is a snow-white skin draped over it.I don't know what kind it is, but I've never seen it before. It can cover half a beauty couch. The hair is long and dense, and it looks very soft and warm.

"Xianghe." Yan Jinping only came to pick up something this time, so he didn't sit down.He knocked on the small wooden table where the things were placed, made a sound, and called Xianghe, "Are you there? I have something to look for. Please fetch the string of [-] seeds that you exchanged two days ago. Hugong wants it, and I will take it." Go give it to him."

Xiang He lifted the lid of the box silently, nodded to Yan Jinping, gave Shen Lianxing a gloomy look, and stuffed himself back into the box dully, without saying a word the whole time.

This is the second time for Shen Lianxing to see Xianghe, the first time he only saw a hand holding him a guide, now he finally saw what Xianghe looked like, but before he had time to take a closer look, Xianghe He shrank back.

Shen Lianxing: "... Where did I recruit him?"

It is obvious that Xianghe is a ghost, he is the mortal who knows nothing, how come one or two see him as if they have seen a ghost?

—I might as well have seen a ghost.

"That's not true. Xianghe's personality is more... introverted." Yan Jinping explained for his buddy, "He doesn't mean to ignore you, and he doesn't come out when there are guests on weekdays. thing."

Being able to come out today and let Shen Lianxing take a look at his face is already a sign of treating him as one of his own. It cannot be said that he is not giving Shen Lianxing face.

"En." Shen Lianxing just said it casually, and didn't take such trivial things to heart.He silently took off the glove on his left hand and put it on the side table, flexing his fingers.

There are many precise mechanical parts on his exposed palm, and every movement can move the whole body, and every movement drives almost all the parts to rotate.The overall joint is spherical, thinner than that of normal people, and the strength will only be higher.Although I don't know the specific use of each component, it looks complicated in operation, but it is orderly and has a strange beauty.

Yan Jinping has seen a lot of treasures of heaven and earth, but this is the only man-made one, and there is no other one, so his eyes are straightened, and he really wants to dismantle it for him and study it carefully.

Shen Lianxing wanted to do this the first day he came, but the two of them were not familiar with each other at the time, so he didn't bother to mention it. He watched Babao touch it, but he didn't touch it, and he always felt very regretful.

"You can touch it too." Shen Lianxing keenly saw that he liked it, and suggested thoughtfully.

Yan Jinping was curious and heard Shen Lianxing's words sound familiar, so he took time out of his busy schedule to look at him.He vaguely felt that this person had used the same words to coax Babao, and he suspected that Shen Lianxing was coaxing him like a rabbit.But he was really curious, and he endured and endured, and finally couldn't help it, and touched it with his hands.

who cares.Yan Jinping thought to himself, anyway, the two of them had exchanged secret friendships, and it was just a study of the mechanism, which was not a big deal.

Xianghe had just found the eighteen sons that Yan Jinping wanted.He popped his head out of the box, looked at the two of them for a while, then retracted silently back into the box, and even put the lid on, which was very annoying.

"...Come back." Yan Jinping focused all his attention on Shen Lianxing's arm, and didn't think there was anything wrong at first.Xianghe shrank his head, and suddenly realized that the distance between himself and Shen Lianxing seemed a little too close. He could even feel Shen Lianxing's breathing, and immediately felt uncomfortable all over his body.

In order to conceal this unnaturalness, he put down his hands, straightened up, called Xianghe to stop, and said sternly, "What are you hiding from? Have you brought what I want?"

Xianghe didn't stretch out his head, but stretched out a hand silently, stretching his arm far beyond the limit of what normal human beings can do, and put Shibazi into Yan Jinping's palm half a room away.

He also had eyes on the palms of his hands, his eyelids were drooping, and he had a cautious look of seeing no evil.

Yan Jinping almost didn't make him laugh so embarrassingly, he waved his hands and cursed: "Okay, go back."

Xiang He quickly withdrew his hand, closed the lid of the box several times faster than reaching out, and made a loud 'bang'.

Yan Jinping: ...

These things he raised are really more promising than one.

But Shen Lianxing didn't feel embarrassed at all, as if he didn't realize what Xianghe was thinking, he poked his head to look at the thing in Yan Jinping's hand, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"...Eighteen sons." He behaved so normally, Yan Jinping forcibly ignored the vague unnaturalness, took the eighteen sons in his hand and circled them twice, and showed them to Shen Lianxing, "Ten There are eight kinds of Bodhi strings, have you seen the one in the middle? The upright Vajra Bodhi seed is a rare and good quality...I haven’t even touched it twice myself. Hu Gong is really good at picking.”

He also doesn't need this thing to defend himself against evil spirits, but he has been playing around with these things for a long time, so there is no one who doesn't like them. Yan Jinping himself is a character who loves to study novel things, so it is a bit reluctant to give it away as soon as he gets it.

"Okay." Yan Jinping said again, "I got the things too, I'll take you back and meet Hu Gong together."

Shen Lianxing: "...Wait, where are you going?"

Yan Jinping said as a matter of course: "In the pot."

Then he remembered that Shen Lianxing probably didn't know what the sky in the jug was, so he explained to this mortal: "You forgot? I just came out of the jug just now. There lived Hu Gong, a healer... In addition, although it looks like a wine jug, there is actually another fairyland inside, which we call the jug in heaven.”

The so-called "the universe is big in the drunk, the sun and the moon in the pot are long", people often use it to describe good wine, but they don't know that there is really a realm in the pot in this world. How inferior the world is.

It turned out to be the case.

Shen Lianxing thought of the little jade jug, and felt that his understanding of magic had deepened.

……

When Yan Jinping returned to Hu Zhongtian, Hu Zheng was twisting a black chess piece, looking thoughtfully at the endgame on the table, as if thinking about where to go next.

"Hu Gong." Yan Jinping handed him the eighteen sons, "I took the things back, this is Shen Lianxing, my...friend."

Shen Lianxing raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, then smiled and said, "Mr. Hu."

No wonder it is called Hu Gong, this old man is a fairy, and he really seems to have the temperament of a pot fairy.

"Well, I'm back." Unceremoniously, Mr. Hu took the eighteen pieces from Yan Jinping's hand and put them in his arms, then called them over, and said in thought, "It's just right, you should come and take a look, this chess game, What should be the next step?"

For some reason, Yan Jinping just glanced at the board, and stood there without moving.Only Shen Lianxing paused, and leaned over to study with Mr. Hu.

He is good at chess, and after just one glance, he can see that Heizi is already in a situation where he must lose.

Considering that what Mr. Hu is holding is black pieces, he hesitated for a moment, and said tactfully: "Well, the younger generation is not very good at chess, and is not very good at it, but when it comes to playing chess, winning or losing is not that important, the most important thing is to do whatever you want... Just fine."

The implication is that you are going to lose anyway, just play whatever you want.

Hu Gong didn't know if he heard it, so he twisted the chess piece twice, threw the black piece back into his sleeve, sighed, and said: "That's right, you two should sit down first."

Yan Jinping didn't wait for him to speak at this time, and had already sat down first, while Shen Lianxing was still standing because he had just studied the chess game.As he was walking up and down, his sleeve accidentally brought over the endgame on the table. He thought he was going to sweep away one or two chess pieces, but none of the chess pieces moved. Instead, it was his sleeve that was hung on the chessboard.

Shen Lianxing raised his arms twice, but without moving, he took off his sleeves from the chessboard and wondered, "Hey, are these chess pieces and the chessboard one piece?"

I thought it was the endgame that Yan Jinping and Hu Gong had just played, but now it looks like decoration, it was originally carved out of a piece of stone.

So what else is there to study in this chess game?

"Do you understand, little one?" Mr. Hu educated him in an inscrutable manner, "My chessboard is called no regrets. But any chess pieces that go up can never be taken away again, which means no regrets. "

He said meaningfully: "After all, there are many things in life, there is no turning back, and people have to be responsible for their own choices. Isn't it?"

The old man is very old and has a long gray beard. When he talks about these plausible truths, it really sounds like a famous saying.

"So that's the case." Shen Lianxing nodded solemnly. He didn't know whether he believed it or not. He touched the chess piece, but he didn't push it, "It's really profound."

"Listen to his nonsense." Yan Jinping finally moved.He turned around and told Shen Lianxing, "He lost a game of chess with others a few years ago, and wanted to regret the game, but they refused to let him, so he simply fixed the whole chessboard to make himself angry with others. I can't take it away, you can't put it on, everyone Nobody wants to win."

Although he turned his back, he didn't deliberately lower his voice, Hu Gong heard it clearly, he blew his beard and stared behind them, his immortal aura disappeared: "...Do you still want your medicine?!"

"Hey, don't say that, how can you not?" Yan Jinping turned back immediately, with a beautiful and innocent smile on his face seamlessly, "Hugong hangs the pot to help the world, and the doctor is benevolent, I think he won't let me alone Those who suffer from illness and just sit back and watch... right?"

Hu Gong: "..."

It wasn't like this attitude just now, but it changed when the business was concluded. This person is so shameless.
