After everyone finished eating, it was just after noon, and the sunshine outside the inn was still warm.
Looking at the dazzling sunlight outside, Zhu Yuanyu felt a little sleepy. He yawned tiredly. Qi Ao noticed it, leaned over slightly and asked in a low voice: "Would you like to squint for a while?"
Zhu Yuanyu wanted to say that he was not sleepy. It was not a good time to sleep. After all, the situation outside the city was a bit strange. It would be bad if he encountered an unexpected situation while sleeping. But when he saw the sincere concern on Qi Ao's face, he couldn't say any words of rejection. He could only say: "Then everyone, please take a moment, and we will go out of the city to have a look in the afternoon."
No one has an opinion.
After Zhu Yuanyu woke up, Qi Ao came back sweating profusely.
Zhu Yuanyu was surprised and asked him what he was doing.
Qi Ao wiped his sweat carelessly, and then said solemnly: "I just came back from outside the city, and I saw that there is still no sun and only a full moon."
I went out to check it out while Zhu Yuanyu was taking a nap.
Zhu Yuanyu frowned and scolded: "Aren't you afraid of what will happen when you go out alone? Don't be so reckless in the future!"
Qi Ao felt a little warm inside, and even when he was being scolded, the corners of his mouth were curled up.
"Why are you laughing? I'm serious with you!" Zhu Yuanyu was angry.
"Not next time."
Qi Ao put away his smile, straightened his face, and gave a serious assurance.
Zhu Yuanyu glanced at him and then let him go.
Although he knows that the current situation is a bit strange, Zhu Yuanyu has not thought of a way to deal with it yet. After all, this is his territory, and it is too easy to do anything. It is better to wait for him to show up and see what his purpose is. Then we’ll look for loopholes.
If Zhu Yuanyu was alone, he might be able to make a breakthrough, but the problem is that the people around him are "powerless" in a sense, and he will regret it if anyone is hurt.
At night, Zhu Yuanyu's guess was correct, and the other party really came to "invite" him.
It was the same woman I saw that night. Because there was a talisman made by Zhu Yuanyu hanging in the room, she couldn't come in. She could only linger outside the window. Her graceful black shadow cast on the screen window, looking a little weird.
Others might be scared to death. This is the second floor. How can a normal person linger outside the window?
Zhu Yuanyu was not afraid, and looked at the woman outside the window with great interest.
He said: "If your master sincerely invites you, let him come in person. I will wait for him here."
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman's figure disappeared, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, "knock, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle, buckle", she seemed very patient and polite.
Zhu Yuanyu didn't look surprised at all, and even smiled very calmly. It was obvious that he knew there was "someone" outside the door early in the morning.
"The door is not closed, come in."
The knocking on the door stopped, and there was silence and no movement outside the door.
Zhu Yuanyu pretended to suddenly realize it, and knocked on his forehead gently: "I forgot that you can't get in." After saying that, he stood up, walked to the door and pulled the bolt.
No one is outside the door.
Zhu Yuanyu looked around and finally found a red invitation on the ground.
After picking it up and opening it, Zhu Yuanyu's breathing quickened. He ran to the next door and pushed the door open.
The door was pushed open easily. There was no one in the room. Only the cool breeze blew in from the open window in the empty room. Zhu Yuanyu wanted to curse.
Qi Ao, who had always been alert and half-awake, walked to Zhu Yuanyu's side and frowned: "Tui'er is missing?"
Zhu Yuanyu gritted his teeth: "I was invited to drink tea!"
There was nothing that could be done about it, he was not easy to deal with, and the three men, Qi Ao, Li Zhuangzhuang and Tong Bao, shared a room, while Cui'er had her own room. Of course, they picked on Cui'er who was alone.
"Isn't there a talisman? How could you still get in?" Tong Bao, who came over later, asked softly.
Yes, is it possible that the talisman has failed?
Zhu Yuanyu quickly walked to the bed and saw that the hanging talisman was already wet. No wonder! The talisman he made in a hurry was not waterproof and would be useless once it got wet.
He opened the talisman and found that the cinnabar inside was all burnt.
"You were careless..." Zhu Yuanyu was annoyed. He never expected that the talisman would get wet.
Now was not the time to find out how the talisman got wet. The invitation clearly stated that if he wanted to save people, he had to go alone, one for each.
As soon as he said it, Qi Ao immediately objected and looked at him with a face full of disapproval: "It's too dangerous to go alone." You just said in the afternoon that I was reckless, why didn't you take it seriously.
After final discussion, Li Zhuangzhuang and Tong Bao stayed, and Qi Ao followed.
This time Zhu Yuanyu learned his lesson and left a lot of amulets for Li Zhuangzhuang and Tong Bao, which were waterproof and fireproof!
Taking advantage of the darkness, the two came to the door of a luxurious old house. The dark red door slowly opened, silently inviting them to enter.
The two walked straight through the second door, and could smell the faint fragrance between their noses. When they arrived in the main hall, the fragrance seemed to be stronger.
The glazed lamp in the lobby was dimly lit, and the candle inside was burning with a small flame. Zhu Yuanyu could tell without looking that someone was already waiting for their arrival in the lobby.
No, I'm waiting for him to come to my door.
Hongtang nestled in Master Qing's arms, the red feather crown on top of her head trembling. She lifted her fingertips and picked off a delicate flower from the side of her bun, sniffed it, and said with a sweet smile: "Master, they coming."
Qingzhu hummed softly and stroked Hongtang's hair without raising his eyes. He circled his index finger a few times and wrapped a strand of Hongtang's hair. He seemed to find it interesting and suddenly pulled out the hair. hair.
Hongtang was in pain, but she didn't dare to react, and her attitude became more submissive.
Bai Yi stood aside silently, and only when he heard "They are coming" did his expressionless face show a slight fluctuation.
Qingzhu seemed to glance at her.
When Zhu Yuanyu stepped into the lobby, he saw three figures behind the dark blue gauze curtain.
"You came."
"Where are my people?"
Zhu Yuanyu asked bluntly, looking directly at the gauze curtain, as if he could see through the gauze curtain and see clearly behind.
Qingzhu let out a chuckle and said softly: "That little girl is of no use to me. What I need is you..."
Qi Ao clenched his fists.
Zhu Yuanyu pretended not to hear and asked to see Cui'er, so Qingzhu ordered Hongtang to bring her.
Cui'er followed Hongtang, looking confused.
Qingzhu smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's just a small charm. Just wake up and it will be fine. Now, you come with me." He pointed at Zhu Yuanyu with his slender fingers, then turned around and walked into the inner room without looking. Behind him, he seemed very sure that he would follow.
These words and actions can be said to be very misleading.
Qi Ao frowned and looked at Zhu Yuanyu.
Zhu Yuanyu made a gesture to indicate that he didn't need to worry too much, so he followed up and could still hear Hongtang's sneer as he passed by.
Zhu Yuanyu glanced at her, shook his head, made a look of disdain, and left.
Hongtang gritted her teeth and glared at his handsome back.
Qi Ao held Cui'er, who was about to fall, worried. Then from the corner of his eye, he saw that the figure that had remained motionless behind the gauze curtain disappeared, and seemed to have followed him into the inner room.
The room was very dark, and Zhu Yuanyu secretly increased his vigilance in his heart. When he saw the hanging skulls, he cursed secretly, this is really a perverted hobby.
With so many holes facing your eyes, you won’t be able to sleep!
