Bai Yujing

=====================

The seven-story carved building is hidden in the dark, the beams and pillars of the golden dragon reflect the red light, and a pair of piercing dragon eyes are reflected blood red.

The rich door is wide open, but most of the people who go in are masked, or carrying blood-stained silver knives, dripping blood all the way, and there are young servants following behind, washing the blood foam stained on the stone board all the way. .

The building stood there as if it was isolated from the world, and there were almost no other shops around it, only a shop selling animal meat was open, with a variety of pieces of meat on display at the door, and a girl with an ax stuck in her waist was shouting.

Lin Yan's eyes swept across the butcher's shop, and looked at the lintel of the carved building.

"No plaque?"

"This building is nameless, also named 'nameless'." Shi Tianqing stood on the spot, "Ah Yan wants news about Shen Xing prison, the whole Netherworld is undoubtedly the most complete building in the nameless building, enter this door, go straight to the left after the roadless Just turn around. I'll wait for you here."

Lin Yan nodded slightly, and stepped into the door alone. The first floor was empty, and there was still dampness on the wooden floor. The three or five young men were silent and wiped the floor and brick walls quietly.

The coldness was like a snake sticking to the back of his neck, spreading bit by bit. He walked to the end as Shi Tianqing said, and saw a woman in red clothes and gold thread sitting behind the desk. Seeing him coming, she rolled up her hands. The black bamboo slips inside.

"The second floor is for buying and selling spiritual artifacts, the third floor is for smuggling cheats, the fourth floor is for auction houses and pawnshops, the fifth floor is for hiring killers, the sixth floor is for collecting sales information, and the seventh floor is the residence of the owner of the building. Guest officers, please do not trespass."

"Sixth floor."

The woman stretched out her hand, "Six thousand spirit stones." Rouge outlined the woman's lips extremely delicately, Lin Yan handed the spirit stone to her, the latter smiled charmingly, put the spirit stone into the spirit ring, and closed his palms .

"Master, please come with me."

She led Lin Yan to sit on the lotus platform, and the lotus moved straight up. The woman explained: "Every floor has its own price tag, and they cannot communicate with each other. Therefore, there are no stairs in the unnamed building, and the up and down depends entirely on the lotus."

After saying that, the small door opened, she stepped down from the lotus platform, and put a jade hand in front of Lin Yan, "Slow down, Your Excellency."

Lin Yan walked down, and saw a row of black doors in the corridor, most of which were lit, but there was no sound of people. The woman led her to an unlit door, clapped her hands, and the door opened automatically. , and the lights came on.

The woman didn't follow in, and said straightly: "Your Excellency, you can go in by yourself, and it is inconvenient for the servant to accompany you."

Lin Yan lifted his robe sleeve when he heard the words, and the door closed.

There are chairs, a table, and a horizontal curtain in the room. When he sat down, a voice came from behind the curtain: "What do you want to ask?"

"Map of Shen Xing Prison."

There was a pause on the other side, there seemed to be rustling noises, about half a cup of tea later, a bony hand pushed over a few rolls of sheepskin through the curtain.

"These four volumes of maps are the income of the Wuming Building. They come from different customers, and the records may be different. Please decide for yourself." The voice was a little hoarse, and there was a slight cough during the speech.

Lin Yan glanced at the swaying figure behind the curtain through the cloth curtain, rolled up the rolls of sheepskin and put it in the spirit ring, "Thank you."

The figure has disappeared.

Lin Yan also stood up, and when he opened the door again, the woman was still waiting outside. "It seems that you have gained something."

She led Lin Yan to stand on the lotus platform again, but Lin Yan suddenly said: "Can I go to the fifth floor to have a look."

"If your Excellency is not hiring an assassin, you just want to take a look. I'm sorry that the servants are not allowed to let me go."

Lin Yan glanced at the woman thoughtfully, then smiled lightly and said, "I'm being rude."

You Ming and his party, from Fuxian City to Wuwu Fourteenth Lane, there are few ghosts passing by who are not afraid of "Baiyujing Immortal Official". Although he doesn't know the reason, he can probably guess that this is normal.There are only two exceptions, Tu Yuexian and the man in the Wuming building.

But even though Tu Yuexian is in the Netherworld, he is still an immortal who works for Bai Yujing in essence, so it is reasonable to have no fear of him, and this nameless building is asking for a lot of money, according to Shi Tianqing, it is obvious that he is doing it for the immortal official In business, you can be neither humble nor overbearing, and have a degree of relaxation.

Lin Yan was a little curious about the owner of the building.

When leaving Wuming Building, Wen Han's letter just arrived.After Lin Yan finished watching, he found that Shi Tianqing was making jokes with that savage girl with one ponytail in the butcher's shop next door, which made the girl laugh out loud and clear from time to time.

Seeing him coming, Shi Tianqing bid farewell to the girl, and came over with a few large pieces of animal meat, "Have you got the map?"

Lin Yan glanced at the meat in his hand coolly, "Wen Han sent a letter, saying that King Peacock Ming had left Nether and returned to Baiyujing, and they didn't chase him any further. He is currently staying at the Peach Blossom Inn, waiting for us to meet up."

"It's actually the Peach Blossom Inn?" Shi Tianqing was delighted, and while leading the way for Lin Yan, he read aloud: "Ah Yan, let me tell you, this Peach Blossom Inn is the best place for storytelling in the Netherworld, since you like it Listen to the story, you will definitely be satisfied."

This Peach Blossom Inn didn't grow any peach blossoms, it looked like an ordinary inn from the outside, when the two of them settled down, Shi Tianqing handed over the pieces of animal meat he bought to the waiter, who asked him to make dishes, and asked Lin Yan He called Shang Wenhan and Liu Ren to have a tooth sacrifice together, and begged Lin Yan for a piece of Lingshi along the way, and broke it in half.

"If you have too many people, they should recognize you as an immortal." After speaking, he stuffed the remaining half into his arms very naturally.

When a table of food was served, Shi Tianqing called the waiter seriously, pointed to the storytelling stage in the middle of the lobby, "Please invite your storyteller, I'll order two books for Ah Yan to listen to."

The shop waiter wanted to get the booklet, but was stopped by Shi Tianqing, "You don't have to choose, I'll just listen to "Feng Yue Lu" and "Fox Fairy Palace"."

"Pfft——" Wen Han couldn't help laughing, "You are such a thousand-year-old snake demon, you actually like to read such innocent romance stories, and you want to take our son to listen to it?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Yan seemed eager to try, "Why don't you tell me?"

Wen Han looked at his Highness without a word, and silently closed his mouth.

Yes, Bai Yujing never had story books in his library, not even history books that could barely be read as story books. For Lin Yan who only reads the secret books of cultivation, it doesn’t matter if it’s a romance story book or a martial arts story book. Well, it's all the same fresh.

However, it was hard for the little girl, he scratched his head shyly, and couldn't help but said: "Who still listens to these old stories from hundreds of thousands of years ago, they are already tired of telling them, our new storyteller The master doesn't know that either."

The corner of Shi Tianqing's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help sighing, thousands of years have passed, the ghost is still there, the nameless building is still there, the pig belly is still in chaos at the end of the alley, the official position of the secretary is still there, even the Peach Blossom Inn is still there, How come the rumors that have been circulated have changed?

The "Fengyuelu" and "Fox Fairy Palace" were his favorites in the past, and he was waiting to present them as treasures to Lin Yan.After regretting, Shi Tianqing had no choice but to curl his lips and ask, "Then what do you have?"

"Forgive me for asking, the four of you are not the immortals of Baiyujing, right?" Although the man in black robe and purple gauze didn't look as shy as he should, but these people's demeanor is not unusual, they are always the same. It would be more appropriate to ask one more question.

Just as Wen Han was about to speak, Lin Yan remembered that he couldn't stop the guards who wanted to kowtow to him no matter what, the psychological shadow had not yet dissipated, so he hurriedly said with a headache, "No."

Only then did the little two let out a sigh of relief, and spoke out the housekeeper's words, "Now the hottest ones are "Green Margaret's Night Meeting with the Prime Minister's Daughter", "Green Margaret Under the Moon", "Green Margaret Dream of the Matchmaker"... "

"Why are they all Qing Ai Jun?" Wen Han wondered.

"You Ming can live a peaceful and healthy life like this now, it all depends on Qing Mijun to rectify You Ming. Our You Ming regards Qing Mi Jun as a totem of faith. Many people enshrine it, and there are very few girls in the boudoir who don't like to listen to it." The story of Mr. Qing Mi is very hot now."

"Isn't it rumored that Lord Qingmi betrayed Bai Yujing?" Lin Yan asked.

"There are such rumors, but most of us ghosts and ghosts in the dark world don't believe it. How can a person like Qingyu Jun, who loves the people like a child, do such a thing as defection? It's like I have never seen before His little demon also grew up listening to the old residents' stories about how he treated the Nether people kindly."

He took a breath and lowered his voice:

"You don't know that although Youming is not in chaos now, it is still bullied by the fairy king, and it is no longer as good as when Lord Qingyu was stationed. If any family or household accidentally offends the fairy king, it will be a small death, and the soul will never be crushed. Into reincarnation, it is completely hopeless."

He swallowed his saliva, and continued: "If we run an inn now, which one is not allowed to offer sacrifices to the immortals, and those shops with immortals behind them, we dare not steal any business from them. If Qing Mi How could it be so when you are here. It’s a pity that Lord Qingmi didn’t have any family when he was here, that is to say, our descendants made up some nonsense stories about Fengyue.”

At the end, he realized his gaffe, wiped his face and said: "Forget it, if the four of you don't want to listen to Mr. Qing Mi, there are other scripts, I will find them for you."

"Hey——" Shi Tianqing said, "Forget it." He turned to look at the other three people, "Why don't I tell you a story." He naturally picked up a chopstick and ate the meat, then picked up the chopsticks and gave it to Lin Yan Pass the food, "Ah Yan?"

Lin Yan turned his head and picked up his chopsticks.

Shi Tianqing, who had a bad nose, looked at the tips of his chopsticks, wondering, "Ah Yan, why did you get upset?"

Lin Yan imitated the manner of asking about the cold, and put a piece of eggplant into the bowl very clumsily, heaved a sigh of relief with joy on his brows, and when he looked up, he suddenly found three eyes staring directly at him.

He cleared his throat, put away the joyful expression just now, and put on airs like the Third Highness, "Look at me." In order to digest the subtle embarrassment, he looked at Shi Tianqing again, "Don't you want to tell a story? ?”

"Cough...cough," Shi Tianqing choked back his laughter, seeing that Lin Yan's eyes were about to fly over, he hurriedly raised his hand and surrendered, "I'll just say it."

He put down his chopsticks and looked serious, "Everyone knows that snakes are inherently lustful, and voluptuous ghosts indulge in lust. It was a coincidence that one day a snake demon and a voluptuous ghost met in Netherworld. After a spring breeze, a little monster was born. That voluptuous ghost The ghost disappeared after getting out of bed, and the snake demon sold the little monster to a street vendor, and continued his wandering life."

"You made it up, right?" Wen Han questioned, "Who would treat his own child like this?" Even when he was so poor in the world, his parents took care of his food and clothing.

"So what if I made it up," Shi Tianqing sneered, unable to see his emotions clearly, "It's just a story, why should it be so serious?"

Lin Yan glanced at him calmly, then heard him continue:

"The little monster grew up a bit, and it happened that the master of the netherworld was marrying the flower clan empress. His buyer increased the price and sold him to repair the flower sea. After the flower sea was repaired, the foreman took the little monster and did not die. No, in order to make more money, he sold the monster to Anzhuang, which trains killers."

"The little monster spent 300 years carrying a blood-drinking knife on his back, killing people like hemp, eating flesh and bones, and became the most powerful killer in Anzhuang. His code name also set the highest price in Anzhuang. But who? One can imagine that he managed to become the owner's cash cow, but unexpectedly he was sold to the new owner.

"It is said that this time the old master has made a lot of money, and he shows off to others all day that he has raised a good seedling."

"What was that little monster sold for?" Wen Han couldn't hold back his breath.

"The medicine man."

Shi Tianqing continued: "After being turned into a medicine man, the banker wanted to sell the little monster to the hands of the dignitaries outside the netherworld. It was originally a relief, but unexpectedly, the night before he was about to leave, the banker was probably drunk, He even ran to the basement of the drug dealer to smoke the aphrodisiac smoke."

"This is too vicious!" Wen Han slapped the table and stood up, "Since you have already sold the medicine man to make money, why bother?"

After his words fell, the surrounding suddenly became quiet. He looked around a little embarrassedly, then sat down again, pulled Shi Tianqing and lowered his voice, and said, "I'm sorry, I was so engrossed in listening that I thought it was true for a moment. You Go on."

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Shi Tianqing's face, and after a while, he changed his expression again, lowered his eyes and said:

"The basement is dark and damp, full of blood. At a glance, there are dark cages."

"The cages were covered with black cloth, and in each cage was a medicine man who was about to be sold, but they couldn't see each other, and they didn't dare to speak. There was spiritual power attached to the iron cages. iron rod, the strong electric current will hit the whole body along the cage, causing unbearable pain.”

"Screaming screams and screams echoed in the basement, one after another, the scorching sweat and the desire induced by the drug gradually swallowed up the little monster's sanity, and he could hardly grasp the spirit altar."

Wen Han frowned, his heart beat faster, staring straight at Shi Tianqing's lips, waiting for him to say something.

Lin Yan suddenly withdrew his gaze from Shi Tianqing's face, picked up the wine that Xiao Er had served just now, and poured a glass for Shi Tianqing.

In Shi Tianqing's eyes, the waves of the wine bottle swayed in front of him, and he looked straight at Lin Yan. He seemed to be very focused, but the story in his mouth didn't stop:

"The sound of the master's footsteps is getting closer and closer, and the pulse of the little monster is getting faster every time, until the footsteps finally stop in front of his cage, for a moment, it seems that there is no sound at all."

"Until there was a sound of 'swish', the black cloth was lifted abruptly, the light of the candle stung the little monster's eyes, the stench of alcohol hit his face, and the laughter resounded in his ears, he Looking up at the face covered with flesh, the cage was opened, the dealer pinched his bloodless jaw until it was bruised, and held the little monster's body with his hands..."

"Then and then!" Even Liu Ren, who was always reticent, was aroused, "Did the little monster escape, or, or..."

"Escaped." It was Lin Yan who spoke.

He glanced at Shi Tianqing, the latter smiled, and suddenly picked up the wine bottle to clink a glass with him.

"Did you really escape?" Liu Ren confirmed to Shi Tianqing. The latter drank the wine in his glass, and finally sold Liu Ren a way to keep him awake for several nights.

Seeing Shi Tianqing's refusal to continue, Wen Han's tender face was full of anger. Seeing that his Highness did not help to ask questions, he took Liu Ren away with the same hatred and left behind two friendless Lord Chitose.

"Because you were going to give away Nether's merchandise, you were removed from the Nether dweller's brochure and given permission to leave." Lin Yan looked into Shi Tianqing's eyes, "That's how you escaped."

Shi Tianqing's eyes were dark, the corners of his mouth curled up, and the smile didn't reach his eyes, "I'll say you can guess it."

"So what is the medicine man?" Lin Yan asked suddenly.

Shi Tianqing showed the expected expression, "Look, I said you are too clean."

Lin Yan pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it related to the specialness of your blood?"

Shi Tianqing's eyes moved slightly, and he changed his words and commented: "Clean and smart."

"There are some businessmen in Youming who choose young men with excellent bones and pour thousands of kinds of poisons into their bodies. After 81 days of refining, if they don't die, they can be medicine people. Their blood can be used to detoxify. A drop is worth thousands of gold." .”

"What if... dies?"

Shi Tianqing smiled indifferently: "It's a matter of narrow escape, who cares about a piece of soil on the mass grave?"

Lin Yan's eyes flicked from the end of his eyes, and he suddenly remembered the dark soul that fell into the abyss that the person in front of him showed him.

How much pain did you experience?

Lin Yan suddenly felt that it might be a blessing that Shi Tianqing lost a memory.

Shi Tianqing had a panoramic view of his expression, and jokingly said: "Ah Yan loves me?"

Lin Yan turned his head and changed the subject, "Then... is he still in the Netherworld?"

"He died a long time ago," Shi Tianqing threw out a leather purse from his arms, and there was still dark red blood stains stagnant at the sewing place.

There was a cold and cold smile on his face, and his coquettish scarlet lips slightly raised, like a ghost crawling out of the eighteenth hell.

"That night I skinned and cramped him, cut him into pieces, and fed him to the hyenas."
