General Zhiyi

child time.

The door of Taohuaxi slowly opened inwards, and Tang Jingxu's master and apprentice waiting outside the door and Liu Yan looked at each other, raised their feet and approached, and when they looked in, the first thing they saw was a thick mist. The naked eye can vaguely see the bean-sized lights flickering in the fog.

After all, it was late at night, and the town was silent. They couldn't see the figure who opened the door, and they didn't hear any noise. Combined with the previous rumors, Liu Yan immediately raised his vigilance against Taohuaxi.

Are people or ghosts living in the town?

"You haven't entered yet, you still have a chance to turn around." Liu Yan stepped forward, stood in front of the three of them, raised his hands in the direction of Taolin, and tried to persuade the three of them to leave in time.

The bright moon peeked out from the clouds, and the white moonlight shone on Tang Jingxu's side face, making his complexion even paler. He coughed softly twice, took a pill from Hua Qingchen, Stuffed it into his mouth, pushed away the water bottle that Yingli sent him, he didn't care about the bitterness of the pill, chewed it into pieces between his teeth, and grinned after swallowing it: "Mr. It's not worth losing your life."

Liu Yan frowned, withdrew his hands, put one hand behind his back, and put the other in front of his abdomen, and said in a deep voice: "This old man is old, and I don't have any worries, but I have a cheap life. It's worth it if I change it to be satisfied. But since you know this, why don't you How can you be so reckless, even if you don't care, why don't you think more about your two apprentices? Listen to the old man's advice, don't enter Taohuaxi."

Tang Jingxu: "Mr. Liu..."

Seeing these two people urging each other to turn around, Hua Qingchen put away the small porcelain bottle in his hand, rolled his eyes, and said: "If you want to go in, go in, if you don't go in, go back to wash and sleep, grind at the door." Is it interesting?"

After finishing speaking, Hua Qingchen picked up Yingli who was squatting on the ground and gnawed peach blossom cakes, and strode into Taohuaxi. Tang Jingxu smiled at Liu Yan, and followed him in. Liu Yan was stunned and sighed Shaking his head, he walked towards the figure gradually covered by the thick fog.

After walking for about half a stick of incense without direction in the fog, it suddenly dawned on me that there were rows of buildings with white walls and black tiles. Looking from a distance, burning lanterns stretched along the street to the other side of the town. There were a few barks from a distance, probably the dog raised by some family was awakened by the footsteps of several people.

When the evening wind hits, the faint fragrance of flowers makes people feel refreshed, and it instantly dissipates the tension in Liu Yan's heart. He suddenly feels that those so-called people who have been "eaten" by Taohuaxi should have fallen in love with a comfortable town. I don't want to fall into the hustle and bustle of the world again.

However, Tang Jingxu who was at the side frowned slightly. His nose, which was comparable to a heavenly spirit dog, smelled an unusual smell in the scent of flowers, hallucinations and... the smell of death.

Ying Li obviously noticed it too, he held Hua Qingchen's hand instead, and his eyes fell on a young man wrapped in black cloth not far away. He didn't know when the young man appeared, let alone whether he was from the town or with them. The same foreigner, he just stood quietly in front of an inn with the door wide open, his eyes fixed on Tang Jingxu's face, with some kind of strange emotion brewing in his eyes.

"Master, who is he?" Hua Qingchen's eyes turned back and forth several times on the faces of the young man and Tang Jingxu, and while confirming that the two of them were looking at each other, he was surprised that the two of them actually gave off a similar feeling .

Tang Jingxu shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then you still look at it so affectionately..." Hua Qingchen blinked narrowly as if suddenly thinking of something, "Could it be the peach blossom debt owed by Master outside?"

"There is no shortage of such possibilities." Tang Jingxu gave him a sideways glance, and suddenly said seriously, "Back then, your master could harvest baskets of handkerchiefs wherever he went, and every one of them was a girl's heart!"

Hua Qingchen: "..."

Ying Li agreed coolly: "My master is indeed my master."

Liu Yan on the side didn't keep up with their thoughts, his face was full of bewilderment, and it took him a long time to suggest in a daze: "There is an inn behind that child, it seems to be the only inn in the town, the door is open, let's go and stay overnight? "

Tang Jingxu nodded, and walked straight in the direction of the young man. Just as he walked in front of him, he heard a cold snort before he turned his head and walked up the stairs of the inn, and entered the second floor. In a room, the door slammed shut with a "bang".

Tang Jingxu: "..."

Hua Qingchen: "Well, there's nothing wrong with it, he really is the one who abandoned his wife and son."

"Abandoning wife and son?" Liu Yan's face pulled down immediately, and he scolded angrily, "I despise this kind of scum the most in my life!"

"If it was my son, he would have been killed with his nose up to the sky." Having said that, Tang Jingxu's eyes stayed on the closed door, and he felt strangely familiar in his heart. I'm sure it's the first time I've seen that boy's face, but why does it give him the illusion that we've been together day and night?

"Guest officer, are you staying at the hotel?" A gloomy voice sounded from behind him, accompanied by a chill penetrating into the scalp.

Everyone turned around and saw that the speaker was a young woman. She was standing in front of a half-open door behind the counter. The room was dark, and there was a person standing behind the door. It seemed to be a man. Presumably it should be the husband of the woman, but the strange thing is, since he woke up and got up, why didn't he want to show his face?

"Guest officer, are you staying at the hotel?" Seeing that everyone did not answer and stared at the door behind her for a moment, the woman closed the door with her backhand and asked again with no expression on her face.

Only then did Tang Jingxu look back, and nodded with a faint smile: "Please open four rooms, thank you."

The woman pointed to the first room at the top of the stairs on the second floor, and said: "Except for that one, the rest are empty, please do what you want, sir."

After finishing speaking, the woman took the rent and opened the door and walked in. Tang Jingxu saw her husband in an instant by the light in the lobby. The man stood motionless at the previous position, facing the door. In the opposite direction, the color under the warm yellow candlelight still looked too pale. At the same time, as the door opened and closed, it brought out a smell of dead bodies.

Unaware, Liu Yan turned around and wanted to go upstairs, but found that the master and apprentice were still standing there, turned around in doubt, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Tang Jingxu said lightly.

Hua Qingchen and Ying Li showed no difference, they followed Tang Jingxu silently, went upstairs together, and entered their rooms separately.

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the shopkeeper's room with his head, although doubts arose in his heart, he didn't ask any further questions, went into his room and lay down.

Tang Jingxu's room was next to the room where the boy lived. He lay on the bed for a long time, he was so worried that he couldn't fall asleep. What he cared about was not that the proprietress of the inn hid her husband's body in the room, but Who was that boy, and where did that familiar feeling come from?

Tossing and turning on the bed, he caught a glimpse of a small hole in the wall, which was opaque. It must have not penetrated to the other side, or was blocked by something on the other side. He closed one eye and leaned against the wall.

The next moment, Tang Jingxu jumped back abruptly, squinting his eyes and staring at the small hole, he couldn't breathe for a moment.

He saw an eye from the black hole, met Tang Jingxu's sudden eye, there was no panic in that deep eye pupil, as if he had been aware of it for a long time, and he looked at him calmly Looking at Tang Jingxu, on the other hand, he was taken aback. Fortunately, he was steady and didn't howl, otherwise this kind of behavior of being called out instead of peeping would be really embarrassing.

Just as he was trying to find something to block the eyes of the neighbor, a voice sounded faintly close to his ear: "You peek at me."

Tang Jingxu turned his head abruptly, only to see that the window at the head of the bed was pushed open at some point, and the boy wrapped in black cloth was standing in front of the window with his back to the moonlight. There was a gloomy smile in his eyes, revealing undisguised hatred.

"To each other." Tang Jingxu frowned slightly, picked up the sword beside him, stepped on the ground with bare feet, and looked at him calmly.

The young man glanced at the sword in his hand, and sneered extremely disdainfully: "Bluuf, Tang Jingxu, are you looking down on me?"

Tang Jingxu's hand holding the sword tightened a little bit, and his face sank: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" The young man took a step closer, raised his hand and gently pushed back the sword that Tang Jingxu had just pulled out, looked up at him coldly, and suddenly laughed, "What are you pretending to do? I know you can't pull it out sword."

Tang Jingxu didn't push him away, but stretched out two fingers to pinch his chin, squinted his eyes and looked at him silently. After a while, he also smiled. The smile only stayed on the surface, and there was an obvious coldness in his eyes. , with a three-point provocative tone, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Who are you? You know too much, but you don't live long."

"Heh, General Tang's words really can't threaten me, after all... I'm not alive." The young man didn't feel a trace of fear, he hugged Tang Jingxu's neck, pushed him away after speaking, and then turned to Then he jumped lightly and stood firmly on the window sill, like a bat in the dark night, "As for who I am..."

The boy withdrew his false smile, uttered two words in a very soft voice, and left.

Tang Jingxu fell back on the pillow, repeatedly chewing on the two words left by the boy, but unfortunately he couldn't think of any relationship between this boy named "Chi Xun" and himself that could hit him.

Before he touched the pole, he fell asleep first, and his sleeping face with peace of mind overturned the table in anger, Chi Xing, who had just returned to the room and leaned back on the wall, gritted his teeth and wanted to break it with a punch. This wall split him with a sword.

Tang Jingxu was startled awake by the noise, turned over, didn't intend to respond, then fell asleep again, and had no dreams all night.

Sleeping comfortably, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the door being pushed open. Tang Jingxu sat up and watched his second and third apprentices walk in. Seeing that he woke up, the two looked at each other. Hua Qingchen closed the door cautiously. Came to the door and walked up to him, looking hesitant to speak.

Tang Jingxu yawned, and asked lazily, "What's wrong? Did you see a ghost in broad daylight?"

Hua Qingchen shook his head, with a rare serious expression: "Master, what do you think of resurrection from the dead?"
