"What if I say no?" The woman raised her phoenix eyes, turned her soft eyes on Zheli's arm that was being held by Xi'er, covered her face and smiled, "I don't think you are very happy with your match. But It’s a matter of life and death, but it’s up to you.”

After she finished speaking, she moved her slender fingers slightly, tore off half of the yellow paper smartly, handed the other half to Zheli, and carried her skirt up the steps gracefully.

Xi'er was so ashamed that she immediately let go of the Zheli, and stood in the corner with her face blushing and squeezing her hands.Zhe Li held the half of the notice and watched the woman knock on the door.

After a while, the wealthy door opened slightly, and the servant opened the door.

The woman waved half of the notice in her hand, and the servant asked her to wait for a while with a dignified expression before going to invite someone who could take care of it.

Not long after, the butler came out and went up with a discount. The butler looked at the two of them up and down, quite surprised: "The two of you are going to take this task together?"

The woman in white looked at Zheli, covered her face and smiled: "Of course not, I am me and he is him, life and death are irrelevant."

Zhe Li was not angry when he heard the words, and nodded in response.

Although the butler was suspicious, he was also very polite: "Please invite the two of you. The specifics are up to my son to decide."

The housekeeper led the two of them into Qian's mansion, Xi'er was too late to catch up to the door, the rich door was closed again, and she waited anxiously outside the door.

"You two, in order to ensure the safety of my master and the two of you, you need to pass the test separately before you can accept this task." After entering the inner courtyard, the housekeeper asked Zheli to wait at the same place, and brought the woman in white in first. .

Zheli stood where he was, observing the small courtyard in front of him.

The yard is quite unique, the screen wall in front of it is engraved with pine and crane patterns, from the path to the right, there is a garden.There is another pool in the garden, in which there are koi carps, and willow trees hang upside down by the pool, and there is a pavilion on top of the rocks.

Zheli's eyes fell back to the current screen wall, Songhe meant to prolong his life.This pine crane carving is lifelike, one crane falls on the pine tree, and the other circles around it, it should be everyone's work.

It's just strange, I don't know why the eyes of the crane standing on the top of the tree seem to be red, Zheli walked up to it in doubt, and looked carefully, but felt that the red color became brighter and brighter, it was really like the eyes of a living thing, in an instant The world changed, he jumped up from the barrier, and a few flying arrows landed in front of him.

so close.

Zheli looked around, the blue sky and white sun just now had been replaced by dark clouds, the surroundings were empty, the garden was not seen, and the shadow wall in front of him disappeared at some point, but the faint sound of cranes could be heard in the sky.

Zhe Li followed the sound, and saw another sharp arrow piercing through the sky in the dark clouds, he dodged it, sand and rocks flew on the ground suddenly, and the wind blew violently.

"The green tree is surrounded by trees." Zheli blocked the wind and sand, fell to the top of the tree, looked around, and confirmed that he should have entered the formation of Qian's family.

He doesn't know much about formations, he has only read some in books, and knows that formations have formation eyes, but there is nothing around, only the dark clouds in the sky, and the sound of cranes that appear and disappear at that time.

Speaking of the crane's cry, Zheli thought that he just entered the formation because of the crane's eyes, and the formation's eyes were probably still the crane.He wanted to give up on Yukong, so he went to the source of the voice.

The dark clouds dispersed suddenly, the golden light was dazzling, burning the skin sorely, Zheli used a blow of wind and snow to protect himself, and then used swallowing clouds and spitting out the moon to envelop the sun, only then did he feel better.

The sound of the crane was just behind the dark cloud, and when the dark cloud cleared, the crane flapped its wings and flew away.

Zhulong followed the crane's track and chased it up, Zheli used his sword energy to stop the wind, and saw the crane flapping its wings in place. Sure enough, the crane was just a phantom, and it was really urging it to move. It's the wind.

Candle Dragon caged the crane, Zheli took off the ruby ​​from its eyes, the wind stopped and the sand stopped, the gray receded, the greenery came, and the formation was broken.

Not long after, the housekeeper came over: "Congratulations, young master, for passing the test. Please follow me, young master."

He followed the steward to the pavilion of the lotus pond in the east wing, and saw the girl in white had already taken her seat in the pavilion. Seeing Zheli, she smiled and said, "It's a bit late."

Zheli will be able to get a good look at this woman's appearance, she is beautiful, wearing a long cherry-colored dress, the cuffs of the skirt are embroidered with peonies all over the skirt, lifelike, very luxurious, absolutely extraordinary.A head of black silk is simply pulled up, but the white peony on the blue silk is very vivid, and pearls are hanging from the silk ribbon hanging from the stamen, falling on the chest with a few strands of hair.

At this time, the owner of the house was facing away from Zheli and the two, feeding the koi in the pond.

Looking at the strong back, you can know that it is another kind of wealth.

"Master." The butler called softly.

Putting the white jade bowl in Bai Nen's chubby hands, she turned around.It is also a young man with sword eyebrows and star eyes, only 23 or [-] years old, but he has been raised for many years, he has gained too much weight, his body size is twice that of Zheli, tall, very powerful.

He nodded to Zheli with a smile, then looked at the woman in white: "What's your name?"

The sound is like a bell.The young man put his hands on his lap and leaned back slightly. He looked casual and kind, but in fact he looked at the two of them with the attitude of a master. The shrewd eyes of a businessman saw them thoroughly, but remained calm.

Is a powerful person.

"Wanxiang." The woman showed a deeper smile, supported the chair beside her, and sat down unceremoniously, raised her beautiful eyes slightly, and looked at the pond with lotus wind and shadows.

"My name is Su..." Zhe Li paused, "My surname is Su, and each name has the word Li."

"Qian Er." Mr. Qian didn't feel offended by Wan Xiang's rudeness at all, he cupped his hands, and boldly made a gesture of invitation, asking Zhe Li to sit down and talk.

The butler poured tea for the two of them himself.

"The basic information is written very clearly in the two notices." Qian Er cut to the chase, "The formation in the courtyard was also set up by the expert I invited Luo Jian. Since the two of you can break the formation, you must have some ability."

"If you can get rid of the danger here, I will reward you with a lot of money," Qian Er said in a deep voice, "but, whether it is my father's safety or your own safety, there must be a guarantee."

Qian Er looked at Zheli: "I think Brother Su is young, so outstanding," Wan Xiang's gaze also fell over.

"I don't know which sect I'm from?"

Zheli suddenly heard the question, somewhat surprised: "Ah, my master is just a wandering immortal, but since Mr. Qian can invite Luo Zan to set up the formation, why don't you invite them to send you there?"

Wan Xiang couldn't help laughing.

This question was really asked, Qian Er frowned, seeing that Zhe Li was still puzzled, he replied: "It's dangerous here, that's why they don't want to."

Zheli still felt a little strange: "Since Qitan Village is under the jurisdiction of Luozhi, and there are evil spirits haunting it, shouldn't Luozhi come forward to eradicate it?"

The scene once again fell into embarrassment.

Wan Xiang giggled and said, "Silly boy, it's because they can't handle it. As for why they can't handle it..."

Wan Xiang didn't go on talking, she smiled and said: "Speaking of business, when will we leave?"

The butler frowned, as if he was quite critical of the behavior of the two guests.

"My father has been ill recently, tentatively after January." Qian Erhui asked, "How do I summon the two of you?"

Wan Xiang got up, straightened her skirt, and plucked a crystal clear jasmine flower from the end of her hair. The jasmine flower fell onto the table in front of Qian Er, and said softly: "If you are ready, put this flower in clear water Among them, I will come to the appointment. But I also have requests."

"Please say."

"I want a separate carriage, covered with soft satin, and prepared dried fruit snacks." Wan Xiang said, "Others, as long as the money is in place."

Qian Er glanced at the housekeeper.

"I've written it down, little one." The butler responded, "Does Mr. Su have any requests?"

Zheli said: "No other requirements, I will live in the Keruyun Inn in the alley on the other side of the street. However, I want to pay a hundred taels of silver first."

Qian Er nodded, "Yes." He turned his head, "Steward Zhang, take Mr. Su to pay 100 taels of silver in a while."

The rich door opened again, and Xi'er hurried up.

As soon as Wan Xiang opened the door, she saw Xi'er's bright eyes dimmed again, she couldn't help laughing: "Your best friend is yet to come, little girl."

Xi'er blushed again: "No...he's not..."

Zheli chased after him: "Miss Wanxiang."

Hearing the voice, Xi'er quickly looked up, Zheli ran to the door, and Wanxiang had already descended the steps, it seemed that she didn't want to pay attention to him.

"Master Su." Xi'er shouted hastily.

The Zhumen approached again, Zheli nodded to Xi'er, and caught up with Wanxiang: "Miss Wanxiang, do you know anything else about Qitan Village?"

Xi'er raised her eyes to look at him: "You don't know nothing, do you?" She looked at Zhe Li's expression and showed a sly smile, "Ah~ You really don't know." She played with her hair, smiling like a flower, His eyes turned cold, "Then don't grab me."

The second monk Zhelizhang couldn't figure it out, and before he asked carefully, Wanxiang had disappeared before his eyes.

Xi'er was greatly surprised at the back, Zheli saw that the person had gone, and had no other choice, Huan turned around and handed the money to Xi'er.

That hundred taels of silver was really heavy. "Master Su, have you really... accepted it..." Xi'er asked worriedly.

Zheli stuffed the silver taels into Xi'er's hands, with a gentle look on his face: "You should just borrow it from me. Don't worry about other things. If you are really worried, you can tell me the news about Qitan Village. I."

Back at the inn, Xi'er told Xiao's father and mother about the matter, and the family thanked him for the discount, and returned the silver to Fang Kun that day, and kept the inn.

In the cool night of late autumn, Zheli blew the lamp, sat on the window sill, thinking about the funeral, now lost contact with the same family, and was entangled by trivial matters, stranded in other people's territory, somewhat sad.

"Master Su?" There was a knock on the door.

Zheli jumped down from the window sill, went to the door and opened it, Xi'er hugged a quilt: "It's getting cold, mother asked me to bring the quilt over."

Zheli smiled, and reached out to take it: "Thank you. Actually, I don't need it, and I don't have to work hard to prepare it in the future."

After taking the quilt from Xi'er, Zheli saw that she still had a piece of paper in her hand, and looked at him with some hesitation.

"Anything else?"

Xi'er handed the piece of paper in front of Zheli, the rough paper was in graceful handwriting, she said with some guilt: "I still feel that I can't take your money for nothing, this is an IOU, and the money will wait for us to earn it. I will pay you back."
