Xuanhu

Chu Xuanjiuyou was stunned.

Hua Kui cried and said: "Looking at the demeanor of the two young masters, they must not have been sent by Chen Lang's cruel father. Presumably they should be the two friends Chen Lang often talked about, but it's a pity...but they came late. gone."

Chu Xuan finally regained consciousness and said in shock, "Chen Shi is dead?"

The oiran looked over with watery eyes, her desolate appearance could easily make people feel pity, she cried: "Yesterday my concubine and Chen Lang went out of the city to meet the bandit, Chen Lang told my concubine to hide, he came to lure the bandit away, but The concubine could see clearly, the gangster took a knife in his hand and chopped Chen Lang to death." She covered her eyes with her hand, as if she couldn't help herself in grief, "After the man left, I dragged Chen Lang to a hidden place Let it go, and then come back to the city...Young Master!" She knelt down suddenly, "But please take care of your friendship and take Chen Lang's body back for burial! My concubine is very grateful and willing to be a slave To repay the kindness!"

She spoke earnestly, Chu Xuan almost echoed, but Jiuyou spoke coldly.

"You don't have to be a slave, you only need to answer one question." Jiuyou said coldly, "You have such a deep affection with him, why did you have to agree with him before?"

Hua Kui mourned and said: "Young master, I am a little girl, what can I do? If I hadn't met two young masters today, my concubine originally planned to promise one person and then beg him to go. I was born in a worldly background, and only So..." He broke down in tears.

Jiuyou looked at her coldly, and finally said after a while, "Get up."

The oiran said: "...My lord?"

Jiuyou's expression was still cold, "Find a place to live first, and go tomorrow."

The oiran was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up, "My lord..." He was a little anxious when he got up, and he would fall to one side when he couldn't stand firmly.Chu Xuan wanted to support her, but Jiuyou held him tightly.

thump.

Chu Xuan who watched helplessly: "..."

The oiran who fell firmly to the ground: "..."

With a blank expression on his face, Jiuyou pulled Chu Xuan around and left.

"..."

In the middle of the night, the shops had already closed, but fortunately Huakui and Chen Shi bought a house in the city.Although it is very dilapidated and remote, it can barely live in people.

There are a total of two rooms that can accommodate people, the oiran lives in one, and Chu Xuan and Jiuyou sleep together.When Hua Kui got up the next day, he saw Chu Xuan moved a small stool and sat in the yard. When he saw her, he smiled, "Miss Hua."

"..." Hua Kui said, "My concubine's family name is Su Xiu, if you don't mind my son, you can call my concubine Xiuniang."

Chu Xuan nodded, and said: "You don't have to call me son, my surname is Chu and my name is Xuan. You can call me Axuan. The one with me is Jiuyou."

Su Xiu smiled and said: "I heard Chen Lang mention it." She said with a sad look, she stopped, and said: "I don't know where Master Jiuyou has gone?"

Chu Xuandao: "He went to buy breakfast."

When Su Xiu heard this, she was very touched and said: "How dare you bother the young master! Yesterday, the two young masters had to temporarily stay in the same room, and I feel very guilty..."

Chu Xuandao: "It's nothing, in fact we often sleep together."

Su Xiu: "..."

She was waiting to say something, but Jiuyou came in with food.

Full of doubts, I had to suppress it for the time being.

Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Jiuyou, what did you buy?"

Jiuyou handed over the oiled paper bag and said briefly: "Special product."

Chu Xuan opened it, with light in his eyes, "Baozi!"

Yes, it's still meat...

Oily and thin...

Su Xiu took one with a smile, thanked her and started eating.After all, she comes from a different background. Since elementary school, she has the ability to observe words and emotions, and she is more sensitive to emotions.As she ate, she looked at the two people opposite her calmly, and felt that...

Why did the common people abandon me!

Why is it that men in this world are either already broken sleeves, or the broken sleeves are not far away...

She ate three big buns in great misery, and then saw Chu Xuan eat a ring of oil around his lips.She took out a Zhang Pazi and said: "Young Master..." Jiuyou took it and said lightly: "Thank you."

Then he wiped Chu Xuan's mouth and threw it back to Su Xiu.

Su Xiu: "..."

Jiuyou pulled Chu Xuan up, glanced at her lightly, and said, "Let's go."

Su Xiu: "..."

Chu Xuan didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he said, "Miss Hua, why don't you go? We don't know where Chen Shi is."

Su Xiu took a deep breath and said, "Yes, sir."

Then stride ahead and lead the way.

There are several roads out of the Jinhualing Mausoleum, and the road Su Xiuyin took just passed the bridge that Chu Xuanjiuyou saw yesterday.

There are willow trees planted on the bank, and the white catkins are fluttering, falling on the water to ripple in circles.

They were about to get on the bridge when they heard a commotion.

"My son was here yesterday, why did he disappear!" A group of people took a portrait and asked from house to house, "Have you seen my son?"

Chu Xuan asked suspiciously, "Did they lose someone?"

Su Xiu smiled and said: "Maybe it's just that his young master found a dewy marriage. He was greedy yesterday, but forgot to tell the servant." She paused, turned her face away and said, "Young master... let's hurry up, the weather It's getting warmer, Chen Lang... I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it."

Chu Xuan stopped looking, and the group hurried out of the city.

Going out of the city from here directly entered a deep forest with few people. Chu Xuan asked doubtfully, "What are you doing this way?"

Su Xiu trembled, and said: "It was the concubine who heard the rumors about the beautiful ghost in Jinhualing, and was curious, so she asked Chen Lang to come."

Chu Xuan later realized that he said something wrong, so he stopped talking.Jiuyou answered the words lightly, and said, "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

Su Xiu smiled, very pale, "Of course... I'm afraid. It's just that it's rumored that this ghost is good? It also saved the life of the city lord. So I thought it would be fine to come and see it. What's more, coming in the daytime, who would have thought... ...the human heart is more terrifying than ghosts."

She said the last sentence very softly, but Jiuyou could hear it clearly.He glanced at Su Xiu and stopped talking.

Apparently, people often come to the woods, and the path they stepped on is very obvious. They walked for a long time, almost reaching the deepest part of the woods.The strange thing is that there is a large open space here.

When they walked to the open space, Su Xiu suddenly stopped.

Chu Xuandao: "Where is Chen Shi? I didn't see him."

Su Xiu looked back with tears in her eyes.She said word by word: "Here it is."

Chu Xuan was frightened by her and did not speak, Jiuyou continued: "Is he buried below?"

Su Xiu smiled, "Master is really smart, although I don't know why you are willing to come, but it's too late to say anything now." She paused, "It's just that Chen Lang is not dead yet."

Chu Xuandao: "Huh?"

Jiuyou's expression was flat, as if he had expected it.

Su Xiu said: "You two young masters, I'm sorry."

Following her words, the ground collapsed, and the three of them fell down together.

The main hall was lit with lights, and when Su Xiu woke up, she was lying on the white jade floor.Sitting alone on the thousand-step throne, because the distance was too far, he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could only see the fierce red dress, whose color was as thick as blood.

He said softly, "You're awake."

Su Xiu broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord..."

The man said gently: "What are you afraid of? You have done a good job and have already brought ten people. Although I told you that a hundred people must be brought here, but this time for the sake of my two old friends, I will let you go." Forget it."

Su Xiu was even more nervous and dared not speak out.

The man smiled, "You don't need to know what I mean, just wait a while for them to find you, and you tell them everything, after that, I will return your husband to you."

Seeing Su Xiu's motionless appearance, he couldn't help laughing, "I won't lie to you."

He looked far away and said leisurely: "Here we come."

Black light diffused from the edge of the hall.

The enchantment completely dissipated in the black light, Jiuyou withdrew his hand, and looked at the scene in front of him indifferently.

The enchantment shattered, the illusion collapsed, and everything returned to reality.Su Xiu was surrounded by tens of thousands of white bones, and ghostly ghosts were floating in the underground palace.

She turned her head, looked at Chu Xuan Jiuyou and smiled.

"You two sons, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

She got up gracefully, and said: "Young Master, would you like to listen to my concubine explain the truth in detail?"

Jiuyou glanced at Chu Xuan, who didn't seem to understand the situation at all.He said casually, "Speak."

Su Xiu knelt down again.

"Half a month ago, my concubine and Chen Lang came to Jinhualing. If you want to come, you two also know. The concubine sold herself in Tianxiang Pavilion, and the ransom was quite heavy, so she was not allowed to accompany Chen Lang. Another reason was that Chen Lang's father treated the women in the world. Very prejudiced." Su Xiu's expression was indifferent, and there was an astonishingly gorgeous look in her brows, she said, "I know that Chen Lang has been an official for generations, and his family background is not something a prostitute can reach... But in the end, I still saved a bit of luck .”

"I was sold into Tianxiang Pavilion when I was six years old, and I haven't left since then. When I first met Chen Lang, I didn't have any sincerity. I just wanted to take this opportunity to escape." Su Xiu looked dazed, as if recalling, "It's just I never thought that Chen Lang could do this."

"He is the young master of an aristocratic family. He has never endured hardship, but he is willing to stay in this small city for me. The living room is simple and the money is exhausted, but he has never left... We even agreed that if his father It's always not allowed, and it's good to stay here for the rest of my life... It's a pity." With tears in her eyes, "Three days ago, it was three days ago... You came too late."

"Three days ago, some villains saw my beauty and abducted me outside the city. They wanted to do something wrong to me. Fortunately, Chen Lang came in time... It's just that Chen Lang is not good at martial arts after all. The gangster wanted to kill people and silence me. Lang didn't know the direction, fled into the depths of the forest, and then fell down." She closed her eyes and said, "You two young masters, do you still remember the rumors about the beautiful ghost in Jinhualing?"

"The place where we are now is the place where the beautiful ghost lives."

"Perhaps you two have heard that the beautiful ghost was kind and even saved the city lord. But seeing the bones all over the place, I don't need to say too much, you should also know the true nature of that beautiful ghost." Su Xiu said slowly, "That beautiful ghost, He likes to eat the flesh and blood of the living."

"That day when we fell into this underground palace, he ate that villain alive. When I thought it was my turn, he said that he would not eat women."

Jiuyou's eyes darkened slightly.

But Chu Xuan said anxiously: "What about Chen Shi? He..."

Su Xiudao: "Chen Lang is not dead." She paused, "Even though he was stabbed several times...he was not dead."

"Even if everyone dies...I won't let him die."

Chu Xuan paused.

Su Xiu's tone was decisive but calm, she said: "I made a deal with that pretty ghost, I attracted a hundred people for him, but he let me and Chen Lang go."

"This has been his conspiracy since the city lord. He pretended to save the city lord, but the truth is that he set up a trap to kill the city lord. As for how I know, I'm just guessing—the black light used by the city lord and the Jiuyou Gongzi earlier. The same, there are some strange spells. For some unknown reason, he could not come to the ground, but could only stay in the underground palace. However, he wanted to eat the flesh and blood of the living, so he had to deceive the city lord and let him send someone here. In the bones here, There are many people who came to Jinhualing out of curiosity." Su Xiu's complexion was a little pale, obviously very frightened, "Before I met the two young masters yesterday, I have seen his magic technique - he can instantly kill people. Even if it’s gone, it can also create a very illusory but real scene.”

"...He can even possess me." Su Xiu tremblingly said, "I don't know how to describe that feeling, it's just as if my body is not my own, and I can only watch my body move...he is attached to me At that time, even my appearance changed, and I was completely another person. It was not by chance that I met the two gentlemen yesterday... Just last night, when he was seducing a man, he met the two young masters and asked me to marry you Bring it here. As for the two being friends of Chen Lang, I don't know..."

She said: "I know I'm sorry for the two sons...but I can't help it...I can't let Chen Lang die...I can't."

Tears blurred her beautiful face, she continued intermittently: "I know that beautiful ghost is just trying to play tricks on people's hearts, he needs me to attract him... But I can't help it, Chen Lang suffered such a serious injury... ..."

In the end, she only said these few words back and forth, describing her as pitiful.

But Jiuyou only said coldly, "Why did he ask you to bring me here?"

Su Xiu was taken aback, "He said...the two are his old friends."
