The mountain ghost blows out the lights

Shen Lianxing was walking in the forest.

It was late autumn, and the broad leaves in the forest had fallen layer by layer, drying up into flimsy flakes. His boots would shatter when he stepped on them, making a soft, unwilling sound.

"I won't give you any more." The little Taoist priest who brought him saluted with a smile, and stuffed the shiny wooden sign into his hand, "Master told me to bring you here, but in that place, ordinary people don't know what to do." Those who can't get in can only enter the door of Linlang Pavilion with a guide. Or those who are as skilled as the master have their own methods--I can't, I have just practiced with the master for three years, and I am still there. Cut firewood on the mountain."

"The entrance tonight is in this forest. The closer you are, the brighter the guide. You can look for it yourself."

The little Taoist bowed again, turned into a chubby little sparrow, and flew away.The little sparrow is obviously not quite used to this form, its back is staggering, and it is worrying whether it will hit something on the road.

Shen Lianxing couldn't hold back, so he looked back at the pitch-black bushes and sighed long.

He doesn't like the forest at night very much.

But there is no way to do this, after all, he has something to ask for, and he has to follow their rules.

Fortunately, the moon is bright tonight, and besides, he is no longer the unarmed child he was 15 years ago. He just walked through a forest, which is not a big deal for him now.

Shen Lianxing's face remained motionless, and he lightly pressed his right arm on his left arm, feeling the hard and cold touch under his palm, and moved his fingers uncomfortably.

After thinking for a while, he took out a metal fan from his pocket and held it in his hand, fanning it lightly twice—it was already cold in this forest, and asking him to fan it like this would bring a breeze. , irritated people all the way from the forehead to the back of the heart, and it didn't have a calming effect at all.

Shen Lianxing had no choice but to close the fan again depressed.

There is no road built by anyone in the mountains. Although it is not very rough, it is also difficult to walk.It's not like in Yanjing City, where night lights are always on in every corner without light--recently, they have been replaced with "fat-burning lamps" that can be lit and extinguished by themselves, which is very convenient--even though Shen Lianxing's eyes have been blurred since he was a child. Well, I can't stand this tossing.

Fortunately, he was going to go out at night after all, so he was well prepared.

Shen Lianxing took out a thin piece of metal from a small bag hanging on his belt.

The metal sheet is in the shape of a regular octagon, and there are some deep grooves near several sides, spiraling to the center of the metal sheet, which seems to be broken continuously, and it seems that it can be easily broken off directly.

Shen Lianxing folded the metal sheet up and down a few times, tore it open from an opening, and pulled it along the spiral to the bottom, leaving a square and thin bottom, then folded the four sides of the bottom upwards, Pour oil into it.

He picked it up and tried it out, and the balance ability was not bad, even if he carried it around in his hand, the lamp oil should not spill out.So Shen Lianxing found a wick, put it in the lamp oil and lit it.

The man made a simple lantern with three strokes.

The oil and wick are made of unknown materials, but the quality is very good, and the ignited flame is extremely bright, at least it is enough for lighting.Even if there is some mountain wind in the mountains, at most it can only shake the flames slightly, and it seems that there is no risk of extinguishing them at all.

Holding the folded disposable lantern, Shen Lianxing looked down at himself again, and after confirming that there were no more details that he had missed, he held up the wooden signboard of Linlang Pavilion and resignedly walked into the depths of the forest.

...It is said that it can lead him the way, but the scope is too big.

Shen Lianxing looked at the brightness of the light leading the way to determine the specific location of Linlang Pavilion, and rather depressedly used his fan to push away the branches hanging down his face, and then took out a cauliflower snake from his sleeve that he wanted to burrow into. Thinking depressingly, I don't know how big this forest is?But don't go until dawn before you find the place.

He walked in the woods for about half an hour, and when he was far away, he finally saw two revolving lanterns hanging on the open space glowing faintly, which resonated with the light from the road guide, and he was greatly moved. breathed a sigh of relief.

—he found it.

In the Linlang Pavilion, the little rabbit finished placing the candles, and jumped up and down, holding the shark bead with both claws, and with a high bounce, placed the bead in the groove on the wall.The beads glowed milky white, the light was bright but not dazzling, illuminating the colorfully painted algae wells.

The ceiling of Linlang Pavilion is so high that the candlelight cannot reach such a high place, and the owner, Yan Jinping, is not willing to use the 'fat-burning lamp' that is popular in Yanjing City now. I can only use this method of using candles and shark beads together, and I have to come here every night, it is really difficult to take care of.

Still, Rabbit enjoyed the task.

It had just lit candles, smoked incense, and placed shark pearls in Linlang Pavilion, and turned around with peace of mind, intending to go back and do something else.Instead, it hit a pair of long legs.

Rabbit looked up a pair of brown boots, the legs of which were skillfully laced, with a bit of dust caught on from walking in the woods.Further up... and further up is a man's face.

Just like people often can't tell apart rabbits with similar looks, rabbits are not sensitive to the appearance of humans, but even so, they can quickly distinguish the appearance of the person standing in front of them. , should be excellent.

Shen Lianxing stood behind it, bent over, and looked at this expressive rabbit with great interest. He didn't know how long he had been looking at it.

"Busy?" Shen Lianxing saw the rabbit turning his head back, and bowed his eyes kindly and curiously to say hello, "Hello."

"people……"

"What?" Shen Lianxing didn't hear clearly, and asked subconsciously.

"People, people..." The little rabbit's pink three-petal mouth trembled twice, its nose twitched, and then it jerked violently, before it came to its senses, it backed up and jumped a few steps, patting it with the sole of its foot On the side of the ground, a childish voice yelled, "...Come here! Damn it——no, no, come on! See you!"

Shocked voices echoed far away in the empty building.

In fact, Shen Lianxing didn't want to scare it at first, but he was a little curious when he saw a living spirit for the first time, so he watched it for a while.Unexpectedly, the rabbit reacted so strongly, it seemed that he looked like some kind of hideous villain.

He touched his face rather depressed, and thought to himself: Do I look so scary?

The little rabbit hopped into the depths of the corridor, and soon disappeared.Shen Lianxing didn't have time to catch up with the conversation, so he had no choice but to continue walking along this passage.

The most indispensable thing in Linlang Pavilion is rare treasures, and the interior carvings are also carefully crafted.The soft silk is gradually folded into a cloud-like gauze, and a red candle is inserted in the gold-plated candlestick. This candle has obviously been refined. Although it is very short, it can at least burn continuously for a whole night. No need to replace, very bright light.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the place where the Danying is carved with Jue and the Pearl Palace is used.

It's not that I haven't been to Linlang Pavilion in the daytime, but at that time, the goods on the Bogu shelf always seem to be more attractive, dazzling people, and unconsciously immersed in it, so I don't care to pay attention to these details .

Now it's night, even the light of red candles and shark beads shines down, but the goods are all hidden in the shadow of the shelves, and there is a completely different atmosphere from the daytime.

The walls look shiny, and the coating should be mixed with mica powder or other materials, which shone with phosphorescent light.

I don't know what kind of person would be the boss who can manage such a treasure pavilion?

According to the rumors in the market, they all study the boss's appearance, but no one has ever mentioned the boss's temperament, it seems that he never gets close to people.The Taoist priest who lent him his way didn't say a word about it. In fact, Shen Lianxing didn't know much about whether this trip could be fulfilled.Shen Lianxing secretly speculated that after all, he was the one who wanted something from others, and hoped that this boss would not be too difficult to get along with.

He silently hoped.

According to the rumors in Yanjing City, the boss who was about to become a ghost, was leaning on a beauty couch made of sandalwood.

Yan Jinping was wearing a robe loosely, with a corner of the material hanging down to the ground softly, and the edge was embroidered with dots and hooks.His demeanor looks calm, but there is a strange casualness flowing between his brows and eyes. It is obviously a casual posture, but the moment people see him, they subconsciously feel that 'he should be like this'.

He lifted up a emerald and gold-encrusted pipe, put it under the light and looked at it carefully, and observed the inside of the pipe through the bright light. He wondered if it was an illusion caused by the flickering of the candle. Joyo has something flowing slowly.

Although he has been the boss for over ten years, just looking at his appearance, he is still only in his twenties, the same as when he first came to Yanjing City.Years, as ruthless as a knife and axe, also deliberately skipped him, and couldn't bear to leave obvious marks on such a magnificent appearance.

The interior of the room was furnished to a very high standard, but it couldn't take away any of Yan Jinping's limelight. He just sat there lazily, all the magnificence lost.

It seems that the part of the rumors about the boss's appearance in Yanjing City is not completely unfounded.

The beauty is good everywhere, but she is thin, and the glossy embroidery can't hide her thinness. If you look closely, you can see that the wrist bone exposed under the sleeve is protruding, which can almost be called a shapeless bone. Hold on to the robe so as not to appear disobedient.

Sitting on the soft cushion beside Yan Jinping is a young girl who looks about sixteen or seventeen. She is carefully rolling up the bottom of the crocodile silk and tying it to the post, so as not to keep them floating around randomly and obstructing the view. .

The black cat Li Chuizhu has already returned to this room, circled around her feet twice, stepped on the soft cushion, kicked the girl's shoulders onto the beauty couch, squatted down beside Yan Jinping, and rubbed his head affectionately. arm.

Yan Jinping put down the pipe, casually parted the untied hair behind the ear, unconsciously rubbed the black cat's furry head, the long and thick eyelashes lowered like a fan, casting a small shadow under his eyes .

He didn't bother to get up when he heard the call of the rabbit spirit, he propped his head up and asked the crane girl who was pulling the gauze beside him: "Why is there so much noise up front, are there any visitors?"

He Nu has been in contact with him for a long time, and knows what the boss means.When she heard the words, she tied the last gauze, smiled gently and said: "Babao is timid and easily scared, I'll go and see what's wrong."

She stood up, and the sleeves, which were white on the top and black on the bottom, were extremely wide and made of soft material, hanging down to the ground.The skirt was short, revealing most of her straight legs, slender and too slender.

"Go." Yan Jinping waved his hand, his voice was soft, but he could hear clearly, he was not weak, "It's more serious, don't neglect the guests."
