Huangliang Inn

Chapter 12 Mirage

The weather in Anshi is always unpredictable.

After a few days of clear weather, the sky began to rain again.Unlike in February, as the temperature warms up, the rain not only fails to stop tourists, but makes the Antique Street more lively.

Holding a paper umbrella, strolling on the bluestone road, there are antique shops on both sides, and the clerks are yelling in your ears, and raindrops are hanging from the edge of the umbrella. Said, might not be a kind of interest.

A new umbrella shop opened on Long Street.

It was originally a restaurant, and the business was pretty good.Catch up with the shopkeeper's family in an emergency, and the money is not available, so he had to cash out the store for emergency.

Knowing that he was in a hurry to use the money, those who were interested in exchanging money for the store began to lower the price.The price offered by the shopkeeper was not high at all, but it was lowered by a third or even half, which was clearly a bully.

"That's too low."

The shopkeepers of the nearby shops are a little bit embarrassed.

Every inch of land and every inch of land on Long Street is expensive, and in the peak tourist season, it is nothing more than an exaggeration to say that it is making money every day.On weekdays, if you want to find a store here, you may not be able to carry a cash box.Fortunately, some people are willing to make a move, but these people teamed up to take Joe.

"I can't help it if there is an urgent matter at home."

The shopkeeper didn't want to admit defeat, but he was in a hurry at home.This is life-saving money, and there is no delay.There is really no way but to recognize the price offered by the other party.

Just when the businessman was triumphant and ready to sign the contract, a charming woman suddenly appeared, stepped in, and acquired the storefront at a price three times higher.

"The contract hasn't been signed yet, so the one with the highest price wins, no problem?"

The woman was wearing a modified skirt, her long hair was braided into three strands, and she casually draped over her shoulders.There are two red jadeites hanging from her ears, and she is holding a red fox umbrella in her slender hands. It is the Nine Tails who visited Huangliang Inn in exchange for Jiaolin.

"No problem, no problem!"

The price offered by Jiuwei is really not low, much higher than the shopkeeper's initial expectation.After confirming that she was not joking, the box in her hand was full of cash, and the shopkeeper hurriedly reprinted the contract, ignoring the businessman's black face, and signed and stamped it on the spot.

After the store changed hands, the original cover was removed, and the layout and furnishings of the store were also changed.

The restaurant has become an umbrella shop, displaying various paper umbrellas and silk umbrellas.

The umbrella surface is painted with exquisite patterns, which are especially liked by women and children.Whenever you go to the store, you will not return empty-handed.

If you don’t buy one with normal specifications, you will also buy two small umbrellas the size of a palm.There are also hair accessories made of silk, all of which are exquisite and irresistible.The pearls inlaid on it are round and smooth, and the emerald gemstones are not fake.Someone deliberately took it for appraisal to verify what they thought, and there was no objection to the high price offered by the shopkeeper.

After Nine Tails settled down on Long Street, he specially brought a gift to visit Yan Xing.

"My lord, don't blame me, the little demon has encountered some troubles recently, I beg you to take me in."

The troubles Nine-Tailed Fox encounters are inseparable from the scales given by Yan Jue.

She has been shrewd all her life, but she gave birth to a daughter who has no brains.After getting Jiaolin, he hurriedly sent it to Di Jiang, not knowing how to avoid people at all, let alone cover up, which soon attracted covetousness.

"I'm not afraid of adults' jokes, it's because I spoiled her too much before."

Thinking of what his daughter said, Nine Tails couldn't help but grit his teeth, a glint of blue light bloomed in his eyes.

Is Jiaolin so good?Saying that if there are three more pieces, Dijiang will marry her, it is simply whimsical!

She also said that her mother refused to help her, so she took it by herself.A mirage dragon that has been deprived of its god position is not even comparable to the earth beast. What is there to be afraid of?It's a big deal to peel and cramp, but mirage dragon scales are better.

Listen, is this something a sane demon would say?

I don't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, I am courting death!

If it wasn't for this bone and blood that has been the only one for thousands of years, Nine Tails would have done it himself, killing her on the spot.In order to prevent her from getting into trouble again, he simply locked her into the fox cave, blocked the entrance of the cave with the sky-replenishing stone bestowed by Nuwa, and kept her awake for a while.

The bear is locked up, but trouble still comes to the door.

The Jiaolin incident was leaked, and Di Jiang bluntly said that he got it from the Nine-Tailed Fox, and monsters and beasts kept coming to him.Some are good at business, and they can be dismissed if they talk about it; some are arrogant and unreasonable, and provoke face-to-face, Kyuubi has no choice but to roll up his sleeves and do it.

In just one month, the number of times she fought with people was almost the sum of a hundred years.

It was really annoying, so I could only pack my luggage and go to Yinglong's place to find peace.There are two dragons, Gengchen and Yanxuan, entrenched here, unless they die, no demon dares to provoke trouble easily.

If Nine Tails wants to get out of trouble, he must tell Yan Jue the truth.The ability of Mirage Dragon is there, and lies can be seen through at a glance.However, when referring to the uneasy daughter, he somewhat covered up.After repeating the original words, she doubted whether she would be able to leave Anshi alive.

"In that case, you can stay."

"Thank you sir!"

"You don't need to thank me, if you want to thank you, you should also thank the Lord."

Yan Jue put down the silver spoon, and the handle of the spoon hit the table, making a soft sound.

The door of the inn opened, and the cold Geng Chen stepped in.Behind him was a judge, Yan Jue had met in the medical clinic, and they could be regarded as "acquaintances".

"I've seen the God." Jiuwei stood up and greeted Geng Chen, his eyes turned to the handsome judge in robes and crowns, he smiled and winked like silk, "Your Majesty is also welcome."

"Don't dare." Nine Tails is a strange monster under the seat of the ancestor witch. Although he has a monster name, he is still higher than the judge in terms of qualifications and rank.The judge couldn't afford to say "My lord".

Kyuubi chuckled, turned and sat down.

She was just being polite, after all, the interception of ghost messengers from the underworld had changed the lives of several people.This move is not so much for the judge, but for the underworld, showing that she will not easily embarrass the underworld unless the situation requires it.

Geng Chen entered the store and went straight to the counter.

Yan Jue wiped his hands with Shark Sha, poured a cup of tea and brought it to him.

"The Wushan tea I got from the Queen Mother of the West in the early years was only a small can. I asked for it from Jiuyin, but I didn't give it to me."

"Candle Dragon?" Geng Chen held up the teacup, his white fingers were as if carved from beautiful jade, and compared with the spiritual weapon in his hand, people couldn't take their eyes off it.

"That's right." Yan Jue put away the materials for the perfumer and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for nearly a thousand years. Do you think he went to sleep in Zhongshan again?"

Geng Chen didn't answer, and lowered his eyes, savoring the fragrance of tea carefully.There was no expression on his face, it was hard to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

The two drank tea and talked by themselves, Jiuwei didn't know what to do, and tapped the little fox on the umbrella with his fingers, enjoying himself very much.

The judge came here on a mission under the order of Yan Luo from the palace, and he could not continue to remain silent.As if knowing what he was thinking, Yan Jue tapped the table with one hand, and a black wooden slip flew out from behind the counter, hovering in front of the judge.

"This is a ghost, you can take it back for business." Yan Jue said with a smile, expressing that he was definitely not unreasonable, he would be generous when he should be, and he would never be stingy.

He couldn't catch his breath, and the judge almost passed out on the spot.

Two ghosts, only one left?

Is this still called generosity?

"My lord, where are the souls of the two ghosts?" He knew the rules of the mirage dragon, one soul and one soul in the past, and this incident was obviously unusual.

"The mother and son violated the contract." Yan Jue said concisely and did not intend to explain further.

Knowing that the matter could only end here, the judge had no choice but to put away the ghost, bid farewell to Yan Jue and Geng Chen, and turned to leave the inn.

"Yan Jue, violated the agreement, why do you keep her alive?" Geng Chen said.

"Probably for fun."

"Interesting?" Geng Chen reached across the table with one hand, lifted Yan Jue's chin with his fingers, and brushed the corner of his lips with his fingertips, "There is no other reason?"

"What's the reason?" Yan Jue didn't dodge, instead following Geng Chen's strength, he rested his chin on his palm, narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised a mysterious arc at the corners of his mouth.

"Really no or you don't want to tell me?"

Yan Jue smiled even more, his fingertips slid across the back of Geng Chen's hand, one after another, gradually moved up, half a knuckle into the cuff.

"Whether the dead or the living change their lives, it will not only affect two or three people." Geng Chen held Yan Jue's hand instead, locking his gaze, "Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"That's the only way to be interesting." Yan Jue simply leaned over, his breath passing Geng Chen's ears, "It's like building a pagoda with spiritual stones, if the middle pieces are taken away, there are many possibilities, isn't it interesting? "

The mirage dragon's dream can change reality, and in the process of going back in time, it gives the deceased a chance to settle their grievances.But life is life, and death is death. In the alternation of dreams and reality, it is impossible for the deceased to return to the world with their original identities.

The female ghost tried to go ahead and kill her husband and the woman he cheated on, so that her son could live.She thought she had succeeded, but she didn't know that she only distorted the nodes of certain events, and could not change the fate of her son's death.

After all, it is the deceased who made a contract with the mirage dragon, and everything in the dream will follow the contract engraved on the wooden slips.

Yan Jue's answer did not satisfy Geng Chen, but made Jiuwei who was also in the inn break out in a cold sweat.She knew that the mirage dragon was ruthless, but she never thought that Yan Jue was thousands of times more terrifying than she imagined.

Knowing such a secret, she won't be silenced, right?

Glancing quietly, she found that Yan Jue was looking at her with a smile. As a ten thousand-year-old demon under Nuwa's throne, the nine-tailed fox, who had always been known for her beauty, exploded all over her body for the first time, regardless of her appearance.
