monster study

"That's about it." The elegant voice brought the story to an end.

But under the moonlit night, Xiao Meiyan's brows stretched out without any depression.Shang Si knew that something must have happened after Zhang Yunzhi rescued him that time, otherwise Xiao Meiyan would not have been abducted by Zhang Yunzhi to go home like this.

But that's the past of love between husband and wife, and Shang Si is not like Wu Qiang Qiang's gossip.

After finishing talking about herself, Xiao Meiyan couldn't help but look at Lu Zhifei, "The fourth master hasn't introduced me yet, who is this?"

"A new student in the study, Lu Zhifei." Shang Si said.

The two greeted each other, and Zhang Yunzhi, who had been quietly listening to Xiaomeiyan, said, "Fourth Master is not an ordinary person. I have been in Beiping for a long time, why have I never seen him before?"

"The whole world is home." Shang Si replied.What he said was indeed correct, the study had settled in Beiping for more than a hundred years, but Beiping was only his latest foothold.

Zhang Yunzhi put down his wine glass, "Wandering in troubled times, fourth master is so brave."

Shang Si chuckled, "My guts are a little bit higher than ordinary people, and Marshal Zhang is not bad, the one outside the door will kill two birds with one stone."

Lu Zhifei looked at Xiaomeiyan silently. These two men were fine just now, why did they suddenly smell like gunpowder?

Xiao Meiyan immediately glared at Zhang Yun, the appearance of wearing red flowers and red lips, staring at people really made Lu Zhifei, a bystander, feel full of charm.Then Lu Zhifei saw Zhang Yunzhi hugging Xiaomeiyan and whispering in his ear, and suddenly understood - this Marshal Zhang is probably jealous.

That's right, anyone who sees his bride talking to other men while leaving herself alone on their wedding night will be jealous.

But why did Shang Si confront Zhang Yunzhi?

Lu Zhifei glanced at Xiaomeiyan again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was really good-looking, the kind that transcended gender.Will Shang Si know... No, Shang Si is probably just joining in the fun and it's not a big deal. If he really likes Xiaomeiyan, he must have grabbed it by now.

Lu Zhifei couldn't help but think of the woman who appeared in Paramount, who is she?

"Cough." Shang Si let out a light cough of dissatisfaction, interrupting Lu Zhifei's fugue, as well as Zhang Yunzhi's private conversation with Xiaomeiyan.A trace of shame finally appeared on Xiaomeiyan's face, "I made fourth master laugh."

Shang Siyi shook his head and sighed, "Hey, it's going to rain and my mother is going to get married. It seems that I, a lonely family, can only continue to travel around the world."

"Fourth Master is leaving again?" Xiao Meiyan asked.

Shang Si smiled casually, "We will finally meet again by fate."

Having said that, Lu Zhifei also knew that they should leave.

Xiao Meiyan stood up and saw each other off, with some reluctance in her eyes, "Fourth master really doesn't plan to stay in Beiping? I haven't seen you for many years, and I still owe fourth master a play."

"There will be a chance." Shang Si blinked at him, then looked at Zhang Yunzhi behind him, and said, "Not to mention such a beautiful day, I can't always delay other people's good deeds, right, Commander?"

Zhang Yunzhi smiled, "That makes sense."

Xiao Meiyan cast a sidelong glance at the two of them, "It's unreasonable."

However, Zhang Yunzhi and Shang Si seemed to have finally found a place of sympathy. Zhang Yunzhi stretched out his hand, "Si Ye is a cheerful person. If we meet again by fate, we must have a good drink."

Shang Si also reached out his hand, "Definitely."

Without exchanging too many pleasantries, and without expressing much intention of parting, Shang Si took Lu Zhifei and left just like that.

It was a bit cold in Beiping at night, Lu Zhifei looked back at the still brightly lit Marshal's Mansion, and asked, "Don't you tell them?"

Shang Si stopped, turned around and asked, "What if I tell them? Will Zhang Yunzhi give up going to the battlefield, and Xiaomeiyan give up killing those foreigners?"

Lu Zhifei paused, because he suddenly understood that the answer was impossible.

Shang Si looked up at the bright and clear moon, and said leisurely: "To die for the country, to be benevolent, what they did was something they would do even if they knew they would die. This is the path they chose. I can't interfere, and It should be respected."

Yeah, maybe it's better not to know the ending.Lu Zhifei thought about it, and then felt relieved.

At the same time, in the small courtyard of the Marshal's Mansion, Zhang Yunyi picked up his beautiful bride and strode towards the bedroom.

Xiaomeiyan hammered his back, "What are you doing, put me down!"

Zhang Yun kicked the door shut, "It's a wedding night in the bridal chamber, of course we have to do serious things."

On the other side, Lu Zhifei and Shang Si, who had returned to the study, were still discussing about the ghost world.

Shang Si said: "Since this is the case, we can draw an inference. Xiaomeiyan's lingering in the Grand Theater and her reincarnation must be due to her obsession. This obsession is nothing more than not being able to see Zhang Yunzhi for the last time. Perhaps the two They had made some agreement before parting, but Xiao Meiyan died in the Grand Theater, and Zhang Yunzhi failed to return from the battlefield, so the agreement could not be fulfilled."

"But what about Zhang Yunzhi's soul? Has he passed away in reincarnation?" Lu Zhifei was puzzled. If this was the case, wouldn't it be in vain for Xiaomei to wait for decades?

"That's not necessarily the case." Shang Si shook his head, "I'm afraid we still have to go to Lord Xing to find out Zhang Yunzhi's whereabouts."

At this time, another voice suddenly came from outside, "Are you talking about Xiaomeiyan?"

Lu Zhifei turned his head and saw Xiao Qiao walking in with his little wolf dog in his arms.

"You know him too?" Lu Zhifei asked.

Xiao Qiao replied coolly, "Going together."

Shang Si was dissatisfied with his explanation, and said: "Bai Mudan and Xiaomeiyan, those are two thorny flowers in the underground world, they are peerless twins."

Xiao Qiao refused to comment, she took a bowl and filled it with water, and squatted on the ground to give the little wolf dog a drink.He gently combed the little wolf dog's fur. After a long time, he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with Xiaomeiyan?"

"Dead for many years, but still lingering in the world." Shang Si briefly summed it up, and then said: "Today is too late, and tomorrow we will set off to find someone."

The next day was Saturday, and Lu Zhifei happened to be free.So he naturally wanted to go with Shang Si, from the beginning to the end.However, when Lu Zhifei was about to go downstairs, he saw Xiao Qiao also standing in the yard, and the little wolf dog was following him, very energetic.

Shang Si came out of the living room, his eyes paused on Xiao Qiao, but he didn't ask further, "Let's go when we're all ready, this time we're going to the world of the dead, and you have to listen to me later. You must not act rashly, you know?"

The two nodded, and Shang Si raised his hand immediately, aiming his palm at the empty space in the courtyard, black mana emerged, and the toga with large sleeves was windless and automatic.The air seemed to fluctuate. Lu Zhifei looked at the empty space and saw ripples visible to the naked eye. Suddenly, a door appeared in the lingering black air.

That door was very weird, the left half was black, the right half was white, and mysterious magic patterns similar to star maps were drawn on both sides. When the door opened, a cold breath seemed to come from the ground.

"Let's go." Shang Si stepped in first, Xiao Qiao and the little wolf dog followed, and Lu Zhifei gathered his mind and stepped in.

Lu Zhifei had seen the so-called Hades or Hell on TV or in books countless times, and imagined what the world after death would be like, but when the black mist gradually dissipated in front of his eyes, that world finally appeared before his eyes When the veil was lifted, he found that all imaginations were impoverished.

The boundless black wasteland occupied his entire vision. He looked up and saw the dark red sky that seemed to be within reach, and he suddenly felt so small that he would be crushed in the next second.

This black wasteland is too vast, so vast that it seems that it will never end.

And the dark red sky is too heavy, as if it will collapse at any moment.

There is no scary picture here, but just standing here seems to have exhausted all his strength.

Suddenly, he felt someone pat him on the back, and most of the pressure dissipated in an instant.

"Don't look too much, follow me." Shang Si said, still walking in the front.

This time Xiao Qiao was half a step behind, letting Lu Zhifei walk in the middle, and only then did Lu Zhifei see what he had overlooked just now—a tower.

It was a black tower, standing alone on the wasteland, like a huge column, supporting the crumbling sky.Moreover, there is light in that tower, and the windows on each floor emit soft light. When those lights gather together, they become the only bright color in this world.

"That's Xingjun's tower." Shang Si explained.

Hearing this, Lu Zhifei suddenly understood why Xing Jun had such a strange temper.Anyone who stays in such a place all the time will probably lose his temper.

After walking for about ten minutes, the three of them and one dog finally arrived in front of the tower.Strangely, the tower has no doors, only windows.

But Shang Si was not surprised, raised his hand, and a black cyclone had gathered in his palm. Seeing that the cyclone was about to go to the tower, a door suddenly appeared on the wall in front of the three of them, and then the angry star Jun came out from the door, "Shang Si, you never stop, you want to destroy my tower every time, won't you knock on the door?"

Shang Si shook his hands to dissipate his mana, and then raised his eyebrows, "Then did you open the door? You should have known that I was coming when I took the first step here, and you always put on airs and insisted that I force you to open the door , are you interested?"

Xing Jun had a dark face, saw Xiao Qiao and Lu Zhifei, and said, "Then you are dragging your family and bringing your family here to travel?"

"If you want to care, will you invite me in?"

"Is this your attitude of visiting?"

The two quarreled again, childishly like preschoolers.Xiao Qiao couldn't take it anymore, and turned to Lu Zhifei, "Why didn't you stop it?"

Lu Zhifei was a little confused, "Is this my job?"

"Of course." Xiao Qiao pushed his glasses, and the little wolf dog gave a cooperative bark, expressing his agreement.

Lu Zhifei was speechless.

After a while, he couldn't take it anymore, and stepped forward to ask Shang Si: "Are you still looking for someone?"

Shang Si was stunned, "Look for it."

Then Lu Zhifei turned his head and asked Xing Jun, "Are you really not inviting us in?"

Looking at Lu Zhifei's calm face, Xing Jun couldn't help but also calm down, and then stepped aside, "Please."

"Thank you." Lu Zhifei nodded his thanks, and then walked in.

Xiao Qiao followed closely behind, not wanting to spend any more time with the two childish ghosts.So the two naive ghosts glared at each other, and when they stepped in, the door disappeared again.

Inside the tower is a completely different world from outside the tower.

Liveliness and warmth rushed over in an instant, the bright lights illuminated the place brightly, and there were still faint songs and laughter.Lu Zhifei looked around in surprise, and saw that the structure inside the pagoda was somewhat similar to the Tulou in Fujian, with an empty space in the middle and long corridors running through it all around.

The difference is that the tower is capped, looking up, it is unreachable.And the hollow part is not big, it looks like a patio with a radius of five meters.

The strange thing is that Lu Zhifei is standing on the first floor, but there is also a railing surrounding the patio in the center of the first floor. Could there be one at the bottom?

He couldn't help but stood by the railing and glanced down. After just one glance, his eyes widened in surprise.I saw that there was also a tower in the well that day, and it was an inverted tower!

The tower is also divided into many layers, extending downward layer by layer, with no end in sight at a glance, and the lights on each layer are bleak white, revealing a gloomy chill.

It is like the reflection of the tower on the ground, the front and back of a mirror.

"Be careful of falling." Xingjun reminded from behind, "You will die if you fall."

Lu Zhifei was vigilant and moved away a little.Shang Si explained next to him: "The six realms of reincarnation go up, and the eighteen hells go down. One thought must not be wrong. But what about people at this level? Have they all gone to reincarnation?"

"Yesterday, half a month, was a good day. But there will be new people coming soon." Xingjun said, leading the way, "Come with me."

The space on each floor is actually very large, except for the patio which is best not to get close to, there are many large and small rooms.

Xing Jun was talking to Shang Si while walking, "If you don't have anything to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Palace. Come on, what are you looking for me for?"

"Look for someone." Shang Si explained the matter of Xiao Meiyan in a few words, and said: "I went to the place where Zhang Yunzhi died in battle last night, and he didn't seem to stay there. He is a man with military achievements." The general who died on the battlefield again, I guess he might be brought here directly after his death."

At this time, there was a clanging shout suddenly from upstairs, "Where are you running!"

Lu Zhifei raised his head, and saw a white shadow flying across the sky like a white crane spreading its wings, and then a sword light lit up, and the sound of metal clashing "Dang!" echoed in the tower.

"Hey, you're still there, these two." Shang Si's teasing voice came to Lu Zhifei's ears immediately, but Lu Zhifei didn't have time to inquire, because the fighting in the sky was already dizzying.

There was another sound of swords and swords echoing, and two figures, one black and one white, clashed in mid-air, and then separated quickly.Just like two clouds, they fell gracefully on the railings on the left and right sides, facing each other far away across the patio.

Only then did Lu Zhifei see the faces of the two of them clearly. One of them was holding a sword and squinting a pair of red phoenix eyes, unrestrained and arrogant.The other man in black was holding a knife in his hand, with a cold face and a scar on the left side of his face.Lu Zhifei felt that the clothes looked familiar, so he took another look and was surprised.

Embroidered Spring Knife, Flying Fish Clothes, this person's identity is ready to be revealed.

What about the other one?These two seem to be fighting on the top of the Bauhinia, what's going on?
