When the devil

It was night, the chill of winter gathered quickly, the streets in the city were empty and silent, a few lanterns were swayed by the blowing, stretching all the way, the long river in the distance had light, which was incompatible with the quiet streets, it was brightly lit, singing and dancing, there was The sleepless place in Yudu City - Baihualou.

Gu Yuan said that the location of Baihualou was originally a fierce place with a lot of yin, so it was deliberately built into such a noisy place. You see, red walls and yellow tiles, resplendent and resplendent, there are groups of handsome men and beautiful women like clouds. Restricted by the curfew, all the officials who came to play did not return all night, and the energy of several lifetimes was spent here. It is no exaggeration to say that in the eyes of the Jianghu people, Baihualou is the magic needle of Dinghai in Yudu, so don't go there to play It's useless to say that I am from Yudu.

Wei Ling listened to Gu Yuan blowing up the Baihualou, and thought that it would not be difficult to distinguish if the Yin Qi inside was heavy, but the evil spirit was the real thing.It's a coincidence, Wei Ling originally planned to go to Baihualou to check the situation, and Gu Yuan just decided to take Wei Ling and Xia Zhou to enjoy the worldly bliss in Yudu City, so it was natural and logical, taking advantage of the dark moon and wind Gao, the three of them really came to the gate of Baihualou.

"Usually this river is full of beauties playing in the water." Gu Yuan took on the role of commentary, her face not blushing and her heart skipping beats, she used a feather fan she found out from nowhere to guard the court attendants lined up on the bridge in front of Baihualou, pointing out one by one. , and concluded: "It's really a bit of a spoiler today, but it's not in the way. With my support in Baihualou, even the Taili Courtyard doesn't dare to disturb the beauties inside to do business."

Xia Zhou stared at him: "My lord is very interested, but we can only go to this place, my A Ling is not suitable..."

Gu Yuan immediately retorted: "Xiamao, you are wrong, today you are the one who insists on coming, and the only person I invite is Xiaoling."

Xia Zhou raised his eyebrows without changing his expression, and his evil spirit made his smile more meaningful: "Where are you taking other people's wives?"

Gu Yuancheng's mansion is very deep, holding a fan in both hands and pretending to apologize: "A nobleman invited Xiaoling tonight, I asked in advance, considering the nobleman's special status, there is no place for us to escape from the Taili Courtyard. eyes, I had no choice but to choose this place.”

Xia Zhou: "Do you think all the people around you are statues?"

Gu Yuan's tone became more relaxed: "The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place."

Xia Zhou: "Fart."

Gu Yuan: "Why are you such a vulgar cat?"

Wei Ling: "..."

These three people stood on the long bridge, you glared at me, I glared at you, not to mention that Gu Yuan was wearing a golden Chinese dress "traveling in micro-clothes", and Xia Zhou who was next to him also cooperated with him in wearing a suit of gold, silver and jewelry. On the contrary, Wei Ling next to him brought out a masculine temperament. The girls passing by the bridge covered their mouths and smiled when they saw it. Fortunately, Wei Ling couldn't understand the deep meaning in that smile.

"Who is the nobleman?" Xia Zhou had never heard of such a private invitation between Wei Ling and Gu Yuan. He followed Wei Ling's buttocks all day today, and Wei Ling didn't say a word.

Gu Yuan covered her mouth with a feather fan and said bluntly, "Queen."

Xia Zhou was poked by his feather fan and felt itchy, so he waved his hand to open it, and his words became less polite: "No."

Gu Yuan: "The queen invited A Ling to talk, and this is only one chance. This is the condition for Xiao Ling to cooperate with the talk in Yaoyu."

Xia Zhou: "Cooperate with what?"

Gu Yuan was not tactful either, and said hehe: "Cooperate to seal you."

Xia Zhou's eyes narrowed, and although he didn't leak any demonic energy, his eyes were filled with murderous intent. Gu Yuan was so frightened that she retreated to Wei Ling's side, covering her whole face with a fan: "Don't worry, brother, I'm just a fool." If you want to be angry, you should be angry with Xiao Ling, he is the one who colludes with the queen behind your back, look, look!" After finishing speaking, Gu Yuan pushed Wei Ling towards Xia Zhou.

"Collusion is out of the question." Wei Ling said: "Xia Zhou, I have something to talk to the queen, you just wait outside."

Xia Zhou was not angry, or the person in front of him changed from Gu Yuan to Wei Ling, and his anger also disappeared: "It's just right, I also have something to say to her, why don't we go together."

Gu Yuan: "Are you really going?"

Xia Zhou walked up to Wei Ling, stretched his hand over Wei Ling's shoulder, and grabbed Gu Yuan who was hiding behind her: "Go and let her think clearly, it's okay if she doesn't see me, don't blame me for demolishing Baihualou."

Gu Yuan was dragged away by him, screaming, and said diligently: "Okay, okay, okay, can I go? You two find a place to rest and wait for my news."

So Gu Yuan left, and there were only two people left in front of Baihualou, Xia Zhou and Wei Ling. Maybe it was restrained by the Taili Academy, and there were not many coquettish women wandering outside Baihualou. Without one Gu Yuan, it seemed that the entire Baihualou They were all quiet, and even the dharma attendant next to them lost interest in them, and continued to stare at other guests.

Wei Ling glanced at Xia Zhou, Xia Zhou was looking up at the top of the Baihua Building in front of him, as if the problem he had been struggling with just now had turned a page.

"A Ling, this Baihualou was originally a gathering place for monsters." Perhaps sensing Wei Ling's gaze, Xia Zhou opened up a new topic: "Do you know what the queen's idea was?"

Wei Ling followed his gaze and looked up: "I would like to hear more about it."

"This is a place to steal fragrance. Many officials will come here for entertainment. The monsters will be mixed up as brothel girls, kill the officials during sex, and use his body to sneak into Yudu—"

Wei Ling said: "Can you escape the eyes of the Taili Court?"

"At the beginning, the queen hoped that I could help her, that is, to engrave a seal on these monsters, so that the power of the monsters would be restrained, and ordinary magic servants would not be able to find them." You found out when you left behind the demon formation, now that you think about it, can you figure out the purpose of the demon formation?"

Wei Ling followed his will and said, "Awaken the demonic nature sleeping in mortal bodies?"

"Yes." Xia Zhou walked into the Baihua Building: "On the day of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, Gu Xiao will find that all the people around him are monsters in disguise..."

"Today in the Taili Courtyard, what do you think of Yu Wanfeng's attitude?" Wei Ling followed Xia Zhou: "This plan lacks the most crucial point. If Yu Wanfeng is unwilling to help, recruiting more monsters may not be useful."

Xia Zhou: "Yu Wanfeng is gluttonous. Whether he is a big threat or not depends on his purpose of staying in the world. As the queen is so cautious, no one will count Yu Wanfeng out."

Xia Zhou is right. Based on the current state alone, it is difficult for Wei Ling to decipher what is hidden in it. Yu Wanfeng's attitude today does not seem to be partial to the queen, but monsters are eccentric people. The best example is Xia Zhou next to him. Zhou, if you think about him with the thinking of a normal person, sooner or later he will be turned into a neuropathy.

The two walked into the Baihua Building together, and the lingering fragrance came oncoming, and the light and fire flooding above their heads adorned the seductive figures passing by in front of them with fragrance and life.

The ring-floor terrace surrounds the edge of the hall, and above it are extravagant carvings, coiled into the beams of the vault, and the gorgeous gauze curtains are drawn along the guardrail of the terrace to the top of the beams. Mottled, turned into a dreamlike illusion.

"I didn't follow you into the palace that day. I just came to Baihualou to find out. The human world was taken care of by Yinhu. After she died, it almost fell apart." Xia Zhou led Wei Ling through the crowd, surrounded by Most of the women are demons, and they also know Xia Zhou's identity. They imitate the polite and smooth appearance of mortals and bow their heads slightly when they pass by, as a respect to Xia Zhou.

"All around are people." Wei Ling affirmed: "Ordinary people."

"That's right, Baihualou has been targeted by the Taili Academy, so naturally it won't keep monsters." Xia Zhou pointed to the top of his head: "There used to be a monster-recruiting formation on the top, which could attract monsters from the monster realm. The world is gone now."

Wei Ling: "Where did the demon hide? Did it really sneak into the palace?"

"I don't know, the truth will come to light on the day of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony."

Xia Zhou stopped for a while, and when Wei Ling followed, he turned around and took Wei Ling's hand.

Wei Ling: "?"

Xia Zhou: "A Ling, come with me."

He led Wei Ling through the corridor and walked to the arc-shaped hall not far away.

Wei Ling was inexplicable: "What?"

Xia Zhou giggled and said, "There is a good storyteller in Baihualou, and it should be about to give a lecture at this moment."

Wei Ling: "..."

Xia Zhou really regards listening to books as a pleasure, let’s not talk about it, there are people in this world who would come to the Spring Tower to listen to books... Or is it more unusual for someone to go to the Spring Tower to give lectures?

Facts proved that Wei Ling was ignorant. He followed Xia Zhou all the way to the stands above the hall. The storyteller hadn't come yet, but the seats below were already full.

but……

Wei Ling thought it was his own delusion, he didn't notice any demonic nature just now, but now standing here, he inexplicably felt a huge sense of oppression from all directions.

Did all the monsters come to listen to the book? !

When Wei Ling was still wondering, Xia Zhou suddenly blocked him back: "A Ling, something is wrong."

Not a monster.

Wei Ling was in a trance for a moment, and this idea came to him spontaneously. He looked forward and saw the strange light spread rapidly along the two ends of the wall.

It's an evil array.

But the speed at which the evil formation unfolded was really too fast. The flickering scene was like a blood-red spider web, quickly climbing the floor and the corners of the wall. People walking around also noticed the change in front of them. It was too late to make a sound, and the red light had disappeared. Passing by under their feet, the person who was standing there just now was suddenly splashed with blood, his eyes widened, and he froze completely in place.

When the scream came, most people hadn't realized what happened. Xia Zhou pointed down with his fingertips and drew a circle of black light patterns along his feet. The moment the blood-red evil formation bloomed, the black flames flew into the air Standing up, enveloping the surroundings where he and Wei Ling are.

"It seems that the queen doesn't plan to talk to you anymore." Xia Zhou raised a smile on the corner of his mouth: "A Ling, she wants to kill you."

The miserable cries for help came out one after another, the demon array involved the entire Baihua Building in blood red, the ceiling, walls, and the ground cracked deep holes, billowing thick smoke, and the next moment, flames burst into flames, burning the place. The wooden beams and satin gauze, in a short moment, turned Baihualou into a sea of ​​flames.

"No, she should be here too." Wei Ling said, "If I find her, I will take Cang Lin's elixir back."
