It is said that the people I protect are admired by the Six Realms

I saw a skeleton man wearing a black narrow-sleeved robe walking in. His white hands were holding a red teak rice bucket. The robe was dragging on the ground, and the friction between the bones made a "crack" sound when he walked, which made Bai Mo's teeth twitch. acid.

The skeleton man stepped forward and knelt down on the ground. He lifted the lid and placed small dishes of dishes one by one on the desk in front of Li Shao.

Bai Moqian followed the movement of the skeleton man, suddenly, the skeleton man turned his head to look at him, Bai Moqian was startled by his two dark and empty eyes, and subconsciously hid beside Li Shao hide.

The skeleton shook his head at him, made a stroking motion, and grinned.

Because there was no muscle pulling, the skull grinned almost to the ears when it smiled, and behind the dark white teeth was a dark hollow.

"Don't be afraid, he doesn't hurt anyone." Li Shao put down the book, glanced at Bai Moqian and said indifferently: "It's exactly the same as before, timid and tight."

The skeleton bowed to the two of them, then turned and exited the room.

Bai Moqian was silent for a while, and hesitantly sat down beside the desk. He picked up a pair of chopsticks on the table, bit them in his mouth, and looked at Li Shao, "Who are you?"

There are three kinds of corpses, one is just dead and not decomposed, called fresh corpse; one is decomposed, called carrion;The deeper the corruption of the corpse, the more difficult it is to awaken and control it. Those who practice the ghost way can only control the first two kinds of corpses. Those who wake up the skeleton and inject the soul to drive it have at least a thousand years of Taoism.

"It's just a tea merchant." Li Shao met Bai Moqian's eyes and bent his eyebrows, "That skeleton owes me a favor, and he came to pay the debt."

Bai Moqian blinked, he was about to ask, Li Shao took a piece of red oil and put it in his mouth, obviously he didn't want to talk about this topic again.

Presumably the fried red oil was too greasy, Li Shao frowned slightly, he picked up the teacup in hand, took a few sips, and then swallowed the food.After that, he refused to eat any more, put down his chopsticks, leaned back on the soft cushion, and picked up another book to read carefully.

Bai Moqian raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself, this person is quite delicate, I want to taste how unpalatable this red oil Chaoshou is.He took a piece of red oil and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, his eyes lit up.

Spicy but not dry, the meat filling is delicious, and the dough is smooth but not greasy.

Bai Moqian picked up another piece, and after a while finished a small bowl of Chaoshou.He moved his eyes to other dishes, such as shredded chicken gizzards, emerald longan, eight-treasure duck tongue, glazed eggplant... He started to move his chopsticks and never stopped. The dishes are eaten cleanly.At the end, Bai Moqian licked his lips, and hiccupped unsatisfactorily.

Li Shao put down the book in his hand since Bai Moqian started eating, he propped his forehead with one hand, looked up at Bai Moqian, with a faint smile on his face.

Bai Moqian was a little stuffed, he stood up and paced back and forth in the room, and realized that Li Shao was looking at him, and then realized that he was working as a servant in his mansion.

Immediately, he raised his hand and scratched his head, glanced at the empty plate, and smiled sheepishly, "That... I'm sorry, I'm a little hungry, so I ate your part too."

Li Shao stretched out his slender fingers, gestured for "five", and shook it, "50 taels of silver, put it in your account."

Bai Moqian: "..."

----------------

Bai Moqian completely settled down in Li Shao's mansion.He said he was serving Li Shao in his daily life, but after Bai Moqian lived there for a while, he realized that Li Shao didn't ask him to do anything at all, he seemed to be a guest at someone's house, the dishes were not the same for three meals a day, and the house was cleaned by skeletons In addition to eating and drinking, he only sleeps.

Li Shao is usually very busy, leaving early and returning late.Bai Moqian was sleepy, and only yawned after three poles in the sun. He slowly got up from the bed, and wandered around the house after eating breakfast alone.

Looking at the gilded ridge tiles on the wall, Bai Moqian sighed, Li Shao is very rich.

The vermilion lacquer painted on the carved beams is said to be extracted from an extremely rare vermilion shell in the South China Sea. The gilded ridge tiles are spread from the front house to the back room, and the bluestone slabs under the feet are said to be picked from Yanshan Mountain in the north. Made of polished sapphire.

Bai Moqian touched the arched door with hanging flowers, and sighed again, Li Shao is really rich.

The patterns on a hanging flower arch are so meticulously carved, it is obvious that a craftsman spent a lot of money to make it.

Through the Moon Cave Gate, Bai Moqian walked to the front yard.

Compared with the middle and back yards, the layout and decoration of the front yard is relatively low-key. There are no expensive flowers in the yard, only a peach tree hugged by three people.

Bai Moqian stood still under the tree, he looked up at the flourishing peach tree, and pursed his lips.

He didn't like the peach tree very much.

Because every time he saw it, some inexplicable images would flash in Bai Moqian's mind, he couldn't remember what those images were, and he couldn't see the faces of the people in the images clearly.

As the breeze blew, the pink peaches fell one after another, as if a rain of flowers had fallen, and everywhere was scorching pink. Under the tree, two teenagers were practicing their swords.

Bai Moqian was stunned, he quickly walked a few steps, and was about to reach out to grab the boy's sleeve, when suddenly the world spun, only the glowing peach blossoms and a figure remained in his eyes.

Bai Moqian stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, anxious to see the face of the man standing under the peach tree clearly, he was breathing rapidly, his vision became more and more blurred.

"Brother!"

Bai Moqian stretched out his hand to grab that person, but in the end, he missed it, was stunned for a moment, and woke up.

There was a ray of warmth between his eyebrows, Bai Moqian opened his eyes, he was lying in Li Shao's arms, holding his sleeve with his hands.

"Are you awake?" Li Shao moved his hand from between his brows, looked down at him and said calmly.

Bai Moqian sat up from his arms, and he looked around.

It was already dusk, and a ray of golden sunset came in through the half-opened window. He settled down and turned to look at Li Shao, "I just... just saw a person, that person is very important to me ...But I can't see his face clearly..."

Li Shao didn't answer, just looked at him calmly for a while, then nodded slightly.Black hair hung down from his forehead, his eyes seemed to be lacquered, half closed lazily, the smile on his lips was weak, and his expression was a bit tired.

Bai Moqian stared at Li Shao in a daze. He was in the fairy world, so he had seen many handsome and elegant immortals.

King Wen of Chu is stern and stern, Jun Wen of Zhao is pure and clean, but Li Shao is good-looking, and Bai Moqian is scratching his head, only the word "soul-stirring" is the most suitable.

Bai Moqian pursed his lips. He lowered his eyes and spotted the string of blood-red charms on Li Shao's wrist. He felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw them. He was about to ask, but was caught Li Shao interrupted.

Li Shao lowered his arms, his wide sleeves covered his wrists, and when he exposed his wrists again, the string of charms had disappeared.He put down the teacup, lazily turned his head to look at Bai Moqian and said, "Let's go, I'll take you into the palace for fun."

"Entering the palace?" Bai Moqian walked up to Li Shao and asked, "What's interesting in the palace?"

Li Shao said: "Didn't you go down to see the beauty? The beauty mentioned in the poem 'Yunxiang's clothes are beautiful, and the spring breeze is blowing Revlon' is the concubine of the current emperor—Mei Fei. Today is her birthday. The emperor held a birthday banquet for her, and I will take you into the palace to see the beauty."

Bai Moqian was stunned for two or three seconds, his scalp burst open, and he stared at Li Shao, "Didn't the beauty in this poem refer to you? I always thought you were the beauty I wanted to see."

Li Shao was taken aback when he heard the words, he raised his eyes to look at Bai Moqian, frowned, and smiled.

This smile, like the east wind blowing flowers and thousands of trees at night, amazed time.

Bai Moqian felt his breath stagnate. He pursed his lips and swallowed, "Laughing, what are you laughing at? I'm not a womanizer."

Li Shao laughed so hard that he couldn't hold the teacup steadily.

Bai Moqian frowned, and rushed forward to cover Li Shao's mouth, staring at him to prevent him from laughing again.

The two quarreled for a while, Li Shao pulled away Bai Moqian's paws, and glanced at his fluffy white ears, "Okay, it's getting late, put your ears away, and follow me into the palace .”

Bai Moqian pursed her lips, put her ears back obediently, and followed Li Shao with her head down.The two of them passed through an arched door with hanging flowers, walked through the winding corridors, and then left the gate of the house.

Outside the alley, a carriage parked steadily on Danchi.Bai Moqian and Li Shao got into the carriage one after the other, the coachman waved his whip and let out a long yo-ho, and the carriage rattled towards the palace.

Sitting bored in the car, Bai Moqian lifted the curtain and looked out to see the excitement.

The city of Chang'an, which is just lit up with lights, is at its bustling time, and the shops on both sides of the streets are gradually lit up, making it bustling.

Li Shao put his arms on the side of the car window, propped his head, and closed his eyes to rest.He looked lazy, and when he heard Bai Moqian's exclamation occasionally, Li Shao raised his eyelids, looked out, then closed them again, with a calm expression.

The carriage turned two corners and stopped in front of the tall palace gate. Bai Moqian sat up straight, holding the palace token tightly in his hand, raised his hand and patted Li Shao's shoulder and said softly : "Are you awake? We need to check our token."

Li Shao responded lightly, then closed his eyes again.Bai Moqian opened the curtain a little, and looked out carefully.

The two onmyoji looked at the carriage, their faces suddenly became very respectful, they quickly retreated to both sides of the palace gate, bowed their heads in a polite manner.As soon as the coachman raised his whip, the carriage rattled into the palace gate.

Bai Moqian was stunned, he put down the curtain, he was baffled by the reaction of the two onmyojis, he turned his head to look at Li Shao, who was resting leisurely beside him, and frowned slightly.

After about half a stick of incense, the carriage stopped again, and the coachman's voice came: "Sir, we're here."

Li Shao opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, then tilted his head and said, "Get out of the car."

The two got out of the car one after another, and Bai Moqian was shocked by the magnificent scene in front of him.

In front of you is a magnificent palace pavilion that can't be seen at a glance. There are three entrances in the front and back, and there are countless pavilions and corridors in the middle. The three halls are nine rooms wide. Rolling eaves and wing pavilions.

The eyes are full of brilliant lights, and even the complex roads and pavilions that are connected to the east and west reveal brilliant light. The gauze lanterns, open fire battles, and high and low glass lanterns illuminate the palace like daytime, and the palace people walk In a hurry, he ran back and forth on the corridor with a glazed lamp, like flowing sparks.

Li Shao yawned, and said calmly, "Let's go, go to the main hall, the birthday party is about to begin."

Bai Moqian came back to his senses, took a few steps to follow up and said, "The mortal world is such a prosperous scene, no wonder Song Yaoyuan and Heng Wenqing don't want to go back to heaven to be immortals, if it were me, I wouldn't go back either."

The two had just stepped onto the arch bridge when they heard a shout from behind: "Stop! Where is the token?"

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Bai Moqian turned around, only to see a small group of Habayashi soldiers walking quickly, led by an onmyoji in a red phoenix collar robe.

Li Shao took out the token from his sleeve and handed it to the onmyoji. The onmyoji took it and looked under the lamp, his expression changed. He quickly stepped forward, holding the token in both hands, and handed it to Li Shao respectfully. : "Your eyes are clumsy, sir, you were abrupt just now..."

"Your Excellency, please be polite. The grass-roots are only lowly merchants. Your Excellency routinely checks the tokens. The grass-roots should cooperate." Li Shao waved his sleeves and bowed to the Onmyoji respectfully.

Seeing this, Bai Moqian hurriedly saluted.This is the palace, no matter how rich Li Shao is, they don't have the guts to act presumptuously in the palace.

After checking the token, the two were about to leave, when they suddenly heard a clear male voice from behind: "The subordinates of this deity are so ignorant that even the master didn't recognize it, it seems that Tianyan Division needs to rectify it. "

Li Shao frowned slightly, and gave a displeased "Tsk", the faint smile on his brows on weekdays faded completely.
