[Liao Zhai + Lu Xiaofeng] Gossip in Jianghu

After a while, Baolan tilted her head and asked, "Lu Xiaoji, don't we need to pay for the meal?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "I brought you here for dinner, naturally because this restaurant is run by the proprietress, and the proprietress is my friend, so there is no need to spend money in the first place."

Baolan felt depressed, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You didn't ask me." Lu Xiaofeng answered grandly.

Baolan always felt that something was wrong, but at the same time felt speechless.

"Hey, I said you two are so close that you even have to go to the latrine together." Sikong Zhaoxing saw the two approaching from a distance, and hurriedly stuffed the last bite of abalone into his mouth without forgetting to joke.

"I'll accompany you if you want to go." Lu Xiaofeng smiled strangely.

Goosebumps popped up all over Sikong Zhaixing's body, "No, you don't have to be so polite...Eat, eat quickly!"

The three sat down again and continued to eat.Because of the less psychological burden, Baolan eats very happily.But Lu Xiaofeng seemed to be full, looked at Baolan thoughtfully, and occasionally picked up some dishes for Baolan that she was laborious to pick.

After eating, the three of them asked people as they walked, and it was already dark when they reached the small courtyard of Huamanlou.The location here is a bit far from the market, but fortunately, the air is fresh, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the small building is higher than expected, about three feet above the ground.Based on the modern floor distribution, it is estimated that there are four or five floors.Baolan was a little surprised that Huamanlou lived alone in such a big room.

"Hua Manlou is not at home, let's go in first." Lu Xiaofeng said.

Baolan asked suspiciously: "You didn't even knock on the door, how do you know he's not at home?"

"Although my friend has poor eyesight, his hearing is excellent. If he was here, he should have known that we were coming, and if he had known that we were coming, he would have opened the door for us." Lu Xiaofeng pushed it away. The wooden door of the courtyard.

Baolan only felt that the fragrance of flowers was blowing towards her face, but when she took a closer look, the gravel path was full of flowers of various colors, it could really be said that the path was full of flowers.

Flowers Manlou, Huamanlou's liking for flowers complements his name.Baolan stared at her feet and carefully followed Lu Xiaofeng towards the small building, for fear that someone would accidentally step on the carefully cultivated flowers in Huamanlou.

"boom--"

Lu Xiaofeng stopped suddenly, and Baolan couldn't hold back for a moment and bumped into him abruptly.

"Why did you stop suddenly?" Baolan blamed while rubbing her forehead.

"There seems to be something ringing on your body." Lu Xiaofeng reminded, pointing to Baolan's chest.

Only then did Baolan react suddenly, and took out the compass from her arms, only to see it making a slight friction sound because it turned too fast.

"How could this happen!" Baolan said in surprise.Then she said to Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zaixing: "I'll go in and have a look first, you are waiting for me outside. I'm afraid there is something unclean inside."

Having experienced the wall painting incident, Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zaixing naturally knew that Baolan was capable, so they nodded in agreement.

Baolan took a deep breath, and carefully pushed open the door of the small building, gusts of cold wind drifted past her body, Baolan couldn't help shivering.

The hall of the small building is simple and spacious. The famous calligraphy and paintings on the wall add some book flavor to the whole building. There is a Guqin on the left side of the hall, and a few sandalwood tables and chairs on the right side, which should be used for banquets. .

Baolan lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the roof, because if she was not careful, she would see a woman in white clothes with loose hair hanging from the beam.

"People in this world really know how to play, and like to hang themselves on the beam to practice."

Baolan quickly bypassed the woman and ran up to the second floor.There are three rooms on the second floor.Every time she opens a room, her heart beats a few beats faster.

In the east room, there was a big man who seemed to be a knife seller. In order to show the sharpness of his knife, he cut himself in half.

"You continue...continue..."

In the middle room, there is an old man foaming at the mouth while drinking an unknown liquid.

"Excuse me... Excuse me..."

Baolan almost vomited, but fortunately the room on the west seemed to be Huamanlou's, and there were no strange people in it.

Baolan took a deep breath, and continued to walk towards the attic.There were some unused furniture in the attic, not caring about getting dirty, Baolan sat on a stool and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Suddenly, the originally closed door and window opened with a bang.Immediately afterwards, four people suddenly appeared in the house for some reason, they looked like a family, there were a man, a woman and two children, the four seemed to have made an appointment, first the father, then the mother, then the son and the daughter one after the other. One jumped out of the window.

Baolan looked downstairs, but there was no one on the ground.

"Haha, Qinggong...not bad..."

Baolan's legs trembled violently, her hands resting on the wall and trembling uncontrollably, she stumbled out of the small building.

"Baolan, what's the matter? It looks like you have lost your soul." Sikong Zaixing stepped forward and asked curiously.

Baolan slowly stabilized her breathing before uttering two words: "There are ghosts."

"Hey, I've been traveling at night for so many years and I've never seen a ghost. I'll go and see." Sikong Zaixing looked fearless.

"You really want to see it?" Baolan confirmed.

"I'm going to see if ghosts are as scary as in the legend." As he said that, he was about to enter the small building.

"Wait!" Baolan took out a porcelain jar from her backpack, and said to Sikong Zhaixing: "If you just go in like this, you won't be able to see it. I have a jar of cow's tears here. If you really want to see it, just put some on your eyes." Bar."

Sikong Zhaixing took it, wiped two drops on his eyelids, and said confidently: "You wait for me to come out calmly."

Sikong Zhaixing is never calm and uncertain, but Baolan is sure that he must not be calm.Because within a short while after entering, there were his screams of ghosts and wolves.

After a while, I saw Sikong Zhaixing jumping out of the attic window, screaming in embarrassment and shouting to Lu Xiaofeng: "Lu Xiaofeng!"

Chick, I remembered that I still have some important things to do, let's take a step first, and see you digging earthworms next time! "

After finishing speaking, he was seen flying into the air and disappeared in an instant.

Baolan and Lu Xiaofeng looked at each other, dumbfounded.

"Lu Xiaofeng, you're here."

A gentle and magnetic voice came from behind.Baolan turned around, and saw a handsome young man in white smiling at them, holding a paper fan in his hand.

Gentle as jade.These four words suddenly appeared in Baolan's mind.This person really can bear these four words, seeing his smile, the haze in his heart seems to be swept away.

"Brother Hua, who are these two?"

It was only then that Baolan noticed that there was a girl behind Huamanlou. It was dark and she couldn't see her face clearly, but she should also be a young girl.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled badly, and joked: "I haven't seen you for a few months, Brother Hua has also learned how to be charming in the golden house."

Hua Manlou's usually calm face flushed slightly, "Don't talk nonsense, this girl is called Yan Hua, because she has nowhere to go, she is temporarily staying with me."

"Oh?" Lu Xiaofeng looked disbelieving, "Since that's the case, Daoist Baolan and I will stay with you for a few days."

"There's a guest room upstairs, so I'm wronging you to live with Daoist Baolan." Hua Manlou smiled.

Baolan's complexion suddenly became worse, and she declined embarrassingly: "I'm not very used to sharing a bed with others, or I'll sleep in the attic."

At this time, Yan Hua came out, "You are friends of Brother Hua, how can I let you sleep in the attic, I'd better go, you can live in my room."

Lu Xiaofeng said aloud: "How can you let a girl sleep in the attic, let Daoist Baolan feel wronged and sleep with me." Instead, he whispered in Baolan's ear: "Daoist Baolan, is there a girl in this small building? Ghost, how can you protect me if you don't sleep with me?!"

Baolan felt that she was using her life to explain what it meant to ride a tiger. She thought about the four fancy jumping ghosts in the attic, and then looked at Yan Hua's charming figure, so she couldn't help but keep silent.

"You know there are ghosts here, why do you insist on staying here?" Back in the room, Baolan couldn't help asking Lu Xiaofeng.

"Obviously knowing that there are ghosts here, how can I just watch my friend live like this?" Lu Xiaofeng asked back. "Of course I won't be relieved until you have collected all the ghosts from this building."

Baolan touched the gourd on her body in embarrassment and said: "I want to take it too, but my gourd didn't respond at all, so I can't take it at all. It must be because these ghosts committed suicide, except being bound in this building every day. Replaying the suicide scene is scary, but there is no harm in it."

"Then you can ignore it, since most people can't see it anyway."

Baolan pondered for a while before saying: "That's not true. If human beings live in such a place with strong yin qi for a long time, they will inevitably lose yang qi and become weak and sick. I will read the scriptures later and see if I can overcome these problems." Revenant. But..." Baolan suddenly remembered something, "Lu Xiaoji, can Huamanlou really see? You are not playing tricks on me again, are you? I think he behaves calmly and elegantly, he doesn't look like a blind person at all. "

Lu Xiaofeng lay on the bed, slowly said: "Some people are blind but not blind, some people are blind but not blind. Huamanlou belongs to the latter, he sees things more clearly than we see thorough."

Baolan nodded half-understanding.
