Those who know, be calm

His palm hurts, his knife is so cold.

Xi Yan sighed without struggling, "Zhan Yunyi, wake up."

"I've never been more sober now. This is just my true face." He laughed so hard that Xi Yan's broken heart ached even more.

Xi Yan was restrained by him and couldn't move, "Zhan Yunyi, don't talk about yourself like that..."

But Zhan Yunyi didn't seem to be able to hear what he said, "I've been waiting for you for many years, but you don't remember me, I thought I was special, but you are so kind to everyone, if your eyes only How nice it would be to see me alone."

He lightly stroked Xi Yan's eyes, as if he wanted to gouge them out.

This feeling makes Xi Yan's hair stand on end, so is this his inner demon?

"My lord, do you have me in your heart?" His hand moved downstream, tearing open his wound. "Perhaps we can find out by digging it out."

"Hmm..." Xi Yan bit his lip, it hurt so much, he really wanted to kill himself, let him dig it if he was happy, anyway, I betrayed him.But I feel inexplicably wronged, I didn't forget you on purpose, I really can't remember.

He stubbornly refused to speak out, and his face became paler and paler.

Seeing this scene, Ranyue overcame the fear of death without knowing where the courage came from, "Zhan Yunyi! You just said that those who hurt Mr. will die, and you kept saying to protect him. What are you doing now!"

When she said this, her legs were shaking, almost holding the heart of death.

Zhan Yunyi froze for a moment when he heard her words, his face was pale, he stared blankly at his hands covered in blood, he just felt dizzy, as if he finally realized what he had done, he tremblingly pulled out the knife that pinned Xi Yan, and put Xi Yan hugged him horizontally, and rushed towards the backyard like flying.

Zhan Yunyi kicked open the door of Ye Wendi's room, and Ye Wendi saw the dying Xi Yan in his arms, "I don't treat people to death!"

"Then I'll turn you into a dead man!" Zhan Yunyi felt cold all over, looking like he was about to kill someone?

Ye Wendi trembled, it was really difficult to be a doctor, and signaled Zhan Yunyi to put him on the couch, Ye Wendi only took a rough look at his injuries, if ordinary people suffered from such injuries, he would have died long ago, but Xi Yan still held his breath.

Ye Wendi unbuttoned his clothes and watched the wounds on his chest and palms heal slowly, it seemed that he didn't need to save himself.But Zhan Yunyi's gaze made him feel like a thorn in his back, forget about using some medicine, just treat it as if I have tried my best.

He sprinkled a bottle of hemostatic medicine on Xi Yan's wound, wrapped it with a bandage, wrapped his upper body almost into a rice dumpling, and fed a few painkilling pills, "Okay, with his recovery ability is very fast That's enough." Ye Wendi turned back tremblingly, only to find that there was no one behind him, where did this guy go?

Xi Yan fell into a coma for two days. When he opened his eyes, he felt pain all over his body. He barely straightened up and found himself in Ye Wendi's room.

"You are awake. If you don't wake up, I will slice you up for research." Ye Wendi put down his medical skills and said coolly.

Xi Yan rolled his eyes, hasn't this guy given up on the elixir?At this moment, he suddenly realized a serious question, "Where is Zhan Yunyi?"

"He left after sending you here. God knows where he went. I told him long ago that he had too many demons, so something happened." Ye Wendi obviously gloated.

Devil?Xi Yan lowered his head and looked at his bandaged hands, Zhan Yunyi's terrifying appearance that day left him with lingering fear. What is his inner demon?Is it because I forgot about him?

Xi Yan had a headache, everything about Zhan Yunyi was beyond his comprehension, he found that he had never understood Zhan Yunyi's thoughts during these days together, why did he want to save himself at the expense of 50 years of his life , What kind of mentality is it that insists on following him, and why did he go crazy? Is it all because of what Zhan Yunyi said, because of that inexplicable agreement that he has forgotten?

Xi Yan thought about it for a long time, without a clue, and looked up at Ye Wendi, "Ye Wendi, do you know that I will be so angry when I don't remember you?"

"I'm a little angry," Ye Wendi said with a horrified expression on his face, "But my lord, how many people have you forgotten? Are there any other victims?"

...Xi Yan is speechless, most of the time he is unwilling to remember these passers-by in his life, because it is meaningless, everything in the temple is meaningless, Xi Yan would rather not think about anything, I don't want to worry about myself in vain, so what if I remember?Nor can he participate in the lives of any of these people.

"Wait, that Zhan Yunyi's inner demon has nothing to do with you, right? What did you do to him before?"

Xi Yan is angry, what can I do to him! "I met him once, and he said that he had made an agreement with me, but I don't remember it. He mentioned it to me twice when he was possessed."

"Then he has a lot of obsessions. I see that he has had demons in his body for a long time, and he has been entangled in his heart. It seems that he cares about this matter very much. I have to say that you are a bit of a scumbag."

"I don't understand. I just met him once. Why did this happen? In this world, no one can live without him." Xi Yan silently turned the ring of his little finger, and he was full of confusion towards Zhan Yunyi.

Ye Wendi propped his chin, and thought seriously: "Based on my years of experience as a doctor, I think there are three possibilities. First, Zhan Yunyi fell in love with you at first sight. Love is the easiest way to breed demons. You forget He will hate him because of love, and wants to kill you," Xi Yan looked at him with a foolish expression on his face, Ye Wendi quickly added, "Of course this is the most impossible conjecture, you are not stunning beautiful woman."

Ye Wendi took a sip of tea, "Secondly, Zhan Yunyi is a hypocrite, and he will take revenge if you forget him."

Xi Yan became impatient, "Your analysis is really unreliable."

"I'm giving you an analysis with good intentions." Ye Wendi rolled his eyes at him. "Third, there is an inducement for his sudden madness. Something is leading him to madness step by step. Do you know the inducement?"

Incentives?Xi Yan recalled Zhan Yunyi's symptoms before going mad, "He...is afraid of the dark, and Su Xin's piano sound." These seem unrelated, "Is there any way to cure his madness?"

"I can only prescribe a few medicines to soothe the nerves, but he has a heart disease, and he needs heart medicine for his heart disease. You'd better find his heart knot," Ye Wendi knocked on the table, "Or try to fight poison with poison, so that He confronts his heart."

Xi Yan was thoughtful.

Ye Wendi went to find King Xuan to discuss something, and Xi Yan sat on the bed alone in a daze, fighting poison with poison?Ye Wendi, a quack doctor, seems unreliable, but this method seems worth a try.Xi Yan held his head in pain, why should I worry about his affairs so much, isn't the most important thing now is the bet with Lord Xianshen?What happened to Zhan Yunyi has nothing to do with me, even if it is my responsibility for his demons to enter his body, but I am not his, he... Xi Yan suddenly choked up.

"I'm here for you. Even if I die, I will bring you out. We have an appointment."

"Master Zhizhi, I want to be your shadow guardian and protect you for the rest of my life."

"But you will hurt, and I don't want you to hurt."

……

……

The sudden sense of guilt overwhelmed him, it seems that Ye Wendi was right, I am really a scumbag, Xi Yan clutched his chest, and his heart began to ache again.

At this time, someone pushed open the door, fell into Xi Yan's arms, and burst into tears, it was Ranyue.Xi Yan raised his bandaged hands, not knowing where to put them for a moment, he smiled helplessly.

"Great, sir, it's great that you're fine." Ranyue cried and wet Xi Yan's skirt.

"How can something happen to me." Xi Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Ranyue finally realized her gaffe, she wiped the tears from her face, her baby face was flushed from crying, "Sir, you are going to scare me to death, you just became like this to save me." She cried so hard Dumb.

"Don't cry, how can Miss Dyeyue sing after crying." Xi Yan comforted gently.

Ranyue quickly stopped, "Sir, do you know that after being grounded, Mr. Shaojun was depressed and hanged himself from the beam. After the king knew about it, he fainted in a hurry. I don't know if he can wake up. Now Jingyue City It's a mess, the prince is very busy."

"Oh." Apparently, the sarcastic remarks as the instigator were not surprising.

Ranyue lowered her head, her eyes were red again, "There is also Sister Suxin, she...she also died with Master Shaojun...I didn't expect her to be so infatuated with Master Shaojun." Ranyue felt a dull pain in her heart, Su Xin She is her closest sister, no matter what she doesn't want to believe that Su Xin's sister just left her.

The expression on Xi Yan's face finally changed a bit. Su Xin, this woman from the rumored Ghost Island, can make people go crazy with just a melody of the piano. What's the relationship between her and Zhan Yunyi?Xi Yan glanced at Su Xin again, and sighed softly, sometimes it is the happiest thing to know nothing, and I don't know how long Ran Yue can maintain such a pure heart.

Seeing his solemn expression, Ranyue thought that he was also grieving for Su Xin. She looked around and found that Zhan Yunyi who was always inseparable from Xi Yan was gone, so she asked cautiously, "Sir, where is Mr. Zhan?" At night, Zhan Yunyi was terrified that such a good-looking man could be so cruel. The fear of death directly cured Ranyue's nympho disease and love brain.

"I don't know." Xi Yan fell silent, rubbing the space between his brows, obviously this was a headache.

Ranyue thought of Zhan Yunyi's face full of murderous intent again, and trembled so she didn't dare to ask again.

Xi Yan pondered for a moment, "Miss Ranyue, if I have an agreement with someone, but I forget it, and he is angry with me, but he doesn't say anything and refuses to see me, what should I do?" Smiling wryly, I really went to the doctor in such a hurry, I actually asked a little girl for help.

"Ah?" Ranyue didn't expect him to ask himself this, "Sir, is the person you mentioned important to you?"

With a tangled face, Xi Yan reluctantly replied, "It's very important."

Ranyue knew it in her heart, it seemed that she was the husband's sweetheart, the young couple had a quarrel, and the husband wanted to coax her back, "You should ask the right person about this, I know this best," Ranyue patted her chest, " You forgot the agreement with her, it's normal for her to be angry with you, what we girls need most is a sense of security, she will definitely feel that you don't care about her, always worrying about gains and losses, and embarrassed to speak out, she thinks so in her heart And you, she is hiding now because she wants you to go find her, show weakness and coax her back."

Xi Yan thought about it seriously, although it sounded weird, but it made sense, "Then what should I do?"

"You have to make her feel that she is very important to you. I suggest you give her a promise." Of course you married her!Propose to her!Ranyue screamed in her heart, but she was so shy that she didn't say it out loud.

"Promise?" Xi Yan thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "I understand, I know what to do."

Ranyue nodded excitedly, she is really on the right track, she will understand after a little mention, he is really a good man with a sense of responsibility, in the future, the standard for finding a husband should be changed to that of Mr. Xiang.

concentric mantra

In spring, Jingyue City was so sweltering and hot that it made people panic, but the back garden of Prince Xuan's Mansion was still cool and pleasant. When Xi Yan walked to the lake, his injuries were basically healed, and the bandages that had been wrapped for several days were finally removed.From the far side of the lake, there was a graceful singing sound, and a group of girls were playing and playing on the shore, but there was no longer a gentle woman playing the piano.

Xi Yan stopped, sighed, Zhan Yunyi was still missing, "Zhan Yunyi, I know you can hear me, didn't you say you wanted to protect me, why did you hide yourself?" Xi Yan couldn't hear her voice Sad and happy, and there was no movement around at all, "Forget it, if you like to hide, don't come out to see me forever."

Xi Yan flicked his sleeves and turned to leave, but suddenly fell to the ground clutching his heart, with a painful expression on his face.

"Xiaoyan!" A black shadow jumped out and supported Xi Yan. It was Zhan Yunyi who hadn't seen him for a long time. He looked haggard, with dark blue stubble growing on his face.

Seeing that Zhan Yunyi was finally willing to come out, Xi Yan grabbed his hand tightly, Zhan Yunyi realized that something was wrong, the faint smell of ice and snow on Xi Yan's body was still mixed with a strange smell of medicine, he secretly screamed that it was not good , wanted to leave but was dragged by Xi Yan, and couldn't stop trying, his eyes darkened and he passed out.

When Zhan Yunyi opened his eyes, he found himself tied up in a dark room. After struggling, he found that what bound him was not a rope, but a white silk thread between the virtual and the real. Law.

"You're awake." A voice came from the front, without any emotion, it was Xi Yan, who asked Ye Wendi for a bottle of sleeping pills, and then searched for a basement in the palace, in order to find Zhan Yunyi The knot in the heart, fight poison with poison.

Zhan Yunyi got used to it for a while, and finally managed to see Xi Yan's figure clearly in the dark, "Xiaoyan, stop making trouble, I will hurt you."

"Stop making trouble." Xi Yan's voice was full of anger, "Just because you hurt me, are you going to keep avoiding me? It was you who pestered me back then, and now you are the one who is going to leave, you ..." Xi Yan realized that he was too excited and stopped talking.

"I don't want to leave." Zhan Yunyi smiled bitterly.

Xi Yan obviously didn't want to continue this topic, "Let's talk about your demons."

"I have nothing to say." Zhan Yunyi turned his head with an uncooperative attitude.

"Then let's stay here forever, and don't let anyone go out." Xi Yan was about to explode. He thought that he had smoothed the edges and corners after so many years in the temple, but he didn't expect that his temper would become more irritable during this time.

Zhan Yunyi was a little helpless, "You just think I'm narrow-minded. This little thing has been kept in mind for so many years, and it has also attracted demons."

"Zhan Yunyi," Xi Yan took a deep breath, "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

He stopped talking again, and the two of them sat silently in the darkness for a while. In the darkness, Zhan Yunyi also became more and more agitated, on the verge of collapse, and subconsciously hit his head against the wall. Like a wolf trapped in a trap, it will tear anyone who approaches to pieces at any time.

Seeing Zhan Yunyi gradually falling into madness, Xi Yan couldn't help doubting the feasibility of this method, "Zhan Yunyi, be sober, don't be controlled by your demons."

Zhan Yunyi raised his head, with crazy killing intent in his eyes, "My lord, it has nothing to do with you whether I am crazy or not, you are too lenient." He struggled desperately, but the magic that restrained him did not budge.

Xi Yan clenched his fists, yes, I wanted to help you get rid of your demons with good intentions, but I was told that I was nosy.He didn't need me to help him. I tied him up like this, saying it was for his own good, but I didn't take his thoughts into account at all. Did I... did it wrong again?

"Don't you think you're ridiculous? I'm not yours, and you don't have to care about my life."

Zhan Yunyi's uncharacteristically vicious words hurt Xi Yan's heart, and he finally couldn't take it anymore, "Enough, Zhan Yunyi, you are my shadow guard! I will be responsible for you of course!" He gritted his teeth angrily, and turned to Zhan Yunyi Shouted, Zhan Yunyi finally stopped speaking, is he finally sober?

"Xiaoyan, let me go, I'm so scared." After a long time, Zhan Yunyi's trembling voice came from the darkness again, he looked really scared.

Xi Yan was a little soft-hearted, he really went too far today, he stepped forward and lightly recited the spell, and the white silk thread binding Zhan Yunyi disappeared, "You still..."

Just as he was about to ask about Zhan Yunyi's condition, he was overturned by a force and fell to the ground. The cold blade firmly pressed against his throat, and he was caught.Xi Yan frowned, he used bitter tricks to lure Zhan Yunyi out, but now Zhan Yunyi treated him in his own way, it was even, Xi Yan smiled wryly.

"Why didn't you kill me?" Zhan Yunyi's voice came from above, no longer as crazy as before.

The curse mark on Xi Yan's fingertips flickered on and off, "Zhan Yunyi, your acting skills are too bad. Is it interesting to pretend to be insane and force me to kill you?"

Zhan Yunyi let him go, "It's a pity that you saw it." Half of his madness just now was faked.

He said in a mocking tone, "Meaningless self-sacrifice, Ye Wendi is right, you are a hypocrite." He threw the silver-white charm at his fingertips, and the whole basement was instantly illuminated .

"What I do is meaningful, you don't understand." Zhan Yunyi covered his eyes and smiled wryly.

Xi Yan took a deep breath, "You better give me an explanation."

"Okay." Zhan Yunyi walked in front of him and unbuttoned the neckline. Xi Yan saw that there seemed to be a black jade finger wrench on a silver chain around his neck, but what Zhan Yunyi wanted to show him was not This, but a strange black mark on the collarbone, like an ominous flame, "This is a curse from Ghost Island. People who fall under this curse will change their temperament drastically, become obsessed, and cannot be lifted until death. "

He grabbed Xi Yan's hand, and lightly touched the evil mark with his cold fingertips, Xi Yan had an unbelievable expression on his face, even he couldn't lift the curse.

"Of course, this curse is just an inducement, and most of it is my own cause. I thought I could control it, but it still hurt you."

It was the first time that Xi Yan felt so powerless, he thought of almost everyone telling him to stay away from Zhan Yunyi when he was in Liangchuan, the lonely ever-burning lamp in the Prison of Killing Consciousness Sea, and the Zhan Yunyi order he had seen in the Sky Mirror. Desperate ending, "I will watch you, if you go crazy I will wake you up."

"Let it be." Zhan Yunyi smiled indifferently.

He didn't want me to help him, Xi Yan lowered his head, with an inexplicable sense of frustration, not everyone is willing to let him tamper with his life.No, I always feel that something is wrong, Zhan Yunyi must have something to hide from himself, the matter will not be so simple, but...he is unwilling to tell himself.

Alas, Xi Yan no longer insists, just let nature take its course as he said, my current affairs are already enough headaches, but now there is one more thing to do.

"Zhan Yunyi, give me your hand."

"Eh?" Zhan Yunyi didn't know why, so he stretched out his hand obediently, "Hey! What are you doing?"

Xi Yan ignored him, bit his finger viciously, stained his blood and drew a curse mark on his arm, shaped like a hexagonal snowflake, Xi Yan covered his arm with his own wrist again, that The pattern seemed to soak into the skin and couldn't be wiped off.

"What is this? Your drawing is so ugly." Zhan Yunyi looked at his arm, not knowing why.

Xi Yan's brows twitched, why is he so busy, he suppressed the urge to beat him up, "This is the concentric spell, Jiang Qingmei told me that shadow guards and magicians are usually connected to each other through the concentric spell, since you are me Of course, we must trust each other." Although we are hiding a lot of things from each other now, Xi Yan said silently in his heart.

"This is also a promise of mine." He squeezed Zhan Yunyi's hand tightly, "I did forget you before, but now and in the future, I will remember every word you say, no matter how many hundred years or how many years I will never forget you, the guy who haunted me for thousands of years, because you were the first person who was nice to me other than my sister, I..." Xi Yan's eyes were red, "You said I said we made an appointment Well, go to Liangchuan to see the sea, and when things are over, I will accompany you to wherever you want to go."

Zhan Yunyi looked at Xi Yan with scrutiny for a long time, the light in his eyes lit up little by little, he couldn't help laughing, rubbed his head, "Xiaoyan, are you coaxing children?"

Xi Yan didn't come up in one breath, and was laughed at. I finally told him these truths, just to dispel his inner demons, but he was still laughed at. He almost cried out of anger, with a desperate face.

"But I am willing to be coaxed by you, thank you." Zhan Yunyi pulled him into his arms, whether it was out of guilt or something, thank you for being willing to accept me whose soul is dyed black, whether you remember or not I, I will protect you until the day when everything is over.

Xi Yan was held in his arms, and he couldn't see Zhan Yunyi's expression clearly, but he could feel his heartbeat. It's great that he was still alive, and Xi Yan felt that his heart was gradually coming alive and warm.

From that day on, Zhan Yunyi regained his former spirit and turned back into a coquettish male peacock, but Xi Yan felt that he was too excited.

In order to reconfirm, he dragged Zhan Yunyi to find Ye Wendi for a follow-up visit, and Ye Wendi took Zhan Yunyi's weird expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and gave him his pulse, "It's strange, the pulse condition is much more stable," Ye Wendi marveled, "Master Zhizhi, what you did to him is simply a medical miracle."

"Believe it or not, I made you a medical miracle." Zhan Yunyi looked at him cheerfully, which made Ye Wendi's hair stand on end.

"What happened to his demon?"

"There are no symptoms of insanity anymore. It seems that the demon has been suppressed, but I can't guarantee whether it will recur in the future."

Xi Yan felt relieved for the time being, and went to bid farewell to Qiu Yiran. The delay in Jingyue City was indeed too long.

Since Qiu Jingtong's death, Junshang was seriously ill, and the Jingyue court was in chaos. All forces were eyeing the throne, and Qiu Yiran was busy dealing with these messes every day.

"My lord, I have come to say goodbye to you."

"Sir, won't you stay longer?" Qiu Yiran wanted to keep him.

Xi Yan shook his head, "Everyone has their own way to go, you and I are the same." From now on, you will no longer be bound by the heavenly mirror, and you can live as you want, which is also a good result.

"Then I won't force you to stay anymore, take care." Qiu Yiran smiled in relief.

"Take care." Xi Yan clasped his hands together and gave him a Kunyin gift representing blessing.

Ranyue was behind Qiu Yiran, and asked timidly, "Sir, will we meet again in the future?"

Xi Yan was taken aback, obviously not thinking about this question, "See you later."

"That's a deal, I'll sing you a song when we see you next time."

"Okay." Xi Yan raised the corners of his lips.

Outside Prince Xuan's mansion, Zhan Yunyi had already led two horses and waited outside, "You are really slow."

Xi Yan pouted and ignored him.

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Zhan Yunyi asked suspiciously. He was the one who took Xi Yan to ride the same horse before, and it was completely unexpected that he was thin and small and could ride a horse.

"Of course." Xi Yan raised his eyebrows, got on his horse neatly, and left Zhan Yunyi stunned.

"Hey, wait for me." Zhan Yunyi hurriedly got on his horse and chased after him.

Southwest of Jingchuan, Suyuchuan, their next destination.

Su Yuchuan

Su Yuchuan is not far from Jingchuan, and the two of them have arrived at Su Yuchuan King City, the border of Longcheng in just a few days.

As its name suggests, Su Yuchuan is a big country producing jade.The blue sky was like washing, Xi Yan looked at the mountains in the distance, and wondered how many rare treasures were hidden there.

"I heard that Yan Xia, the ruler of Su Yuchuan, is a tyrant, but he is not easy to get along with." Zhan Yunyi looked worried. It seemed that the leader of Su Yuchuan had a really bad reputation, Xi Yan frowned.

Judging from the prophecy, this Yan Xia can be said to be a very bad monarch. He killed his brother and mother for fun at the age of 16. It is rumored that the pond in his back garden was filled with blood, and the front of the palace was covered with corpses. An out-and-out tyrant, but not a fool. He has been a king for ten years, and Su Yuchuan has experienced unprecedented prosperity. When people mention him, they are both fearful and awe-inspiring.Such a contradictory person is about to be killed by Zhuo Jue, his trusted general.

Xi Yan was in a daze as usual, there seemed to be a mine in front, and several workers were pushing several carts of stones out.

"Do you know that most of Su Yuchuan's wealth is based on the stone gambling business." Zhan Yunyi seemed quite interested in these stones.

"Gambling with stones?" Xi Yan was puzzled.

"Don't underestimate these stones. They look ugly. Maybe there are priceless emeralds inside. I don't know how many people are flocking to them. There are a lot of people who are poor and rich, and there are many people who lost their bets and lost their fortunes."

Xi Yan was thoughtful, got off his horse and walked towards the mine.

"Hey Xiaoyan, what are you doing?" Zhan Yunyi hurriedly chased after her.

"Gamble stones."

"what?!"

The mine owner was busy counting the rough stones that had just been dug out, when he saw two figures approaching, one of them was a tall man in black, with a handsome face and a smile on his face.The young man beside him was wearing a white magician's robe, and his face was ordinary and almost unrecognizable.

The mine owner has a lot of experience, but he has never seen such a strange combination. These two people seem to be completely different, they are black and white.But with a professional attitude of making money but not making money, he still went up to talk to Zhan Yunyi enthusiastically, "My lord came to see the stone, it's a coincidence that you came here, I am here is the largest mine in Longcheng, you... "

Zhan Yunyi interrupted him, "It's not me, it's my husband who wants to gamble with stones." He pointed to Xi Yan who was studying the stones.

ah?The owner of the mine was surprised. It turned out that the unremarkable white-clothed magician was the master, and he quickly introduced it to Xi Yan.

Xi Yan listened carefully for a while, then turned over the piles of rough stones on the ground, lost in thought.

"I don't know which piece Mr. is looking at?" The mine owner rubbed his hands.

Xi Yan struggled for a long time, "Just this one." He pointed to a blue-black stone, which weighed more than twenty catties.

"Okay, sir, please settle the bill."

Without even thinking about it, Xi Yan pulled out the 3000 taels of silver note that Qiu Yiran gave him, and handed it to the mine owner. Zhan Yunyi didn't even have time to stop him.

The mine owner hadn't seen such a straightforward buyer for a long time. He didn't even blink his eyes for 3000 taels of silver, and he was stunned.

"Why not enough?" Xi Yan frowned.

He hurriedly put away the bank note, "Enough, definitely enough, do you think this stone should be cut now or..."

"Cut it." Xi Yan still had no expression on his face.

"Then wait a moment." The mine owner ordered people to prepare for cutting with a happy face, and the people around stopped their work one after another. This kind of excitement is what they like to watch the most.

"Xiaoyan, you are too prodigal." Zhan Yunyi smiled wryly.

"Use my money as I like." Xi Yan rolled his eyes.

Well, as long as you are happy, Zhan Yunyi turned his attention to that stone.

As expected of a professional, the mine owner and the others cut the rough stone in a short while, "Tsk." The knowledgeable people around shook their heads after seeing it, with a gloating look on their faces.

The mine owner poured water on the cut surface, the color of the cut surface was blue and white, it was just ordinary marble, "Oh, it's a piece of waste." He looked at Xi Yan regretfully.

Xi Yan's face remained unchanged, but his expression was a little dazed.

"Is there anything else you want to see, sir, or should I give you another piece?"

He shook his head, turned around and left holding the heavy stone, Zhan Yunyi hurriedly chased after him.

"Xiaoyan, don't be sad, isn't it just 3000 taels, let's make another vote and earn back. In fact, betting on stones is not only about luck, you also need to know something about these stones. Let's go back and study it carefully, and I will bet with you again " Zhan Yunyi quickly comforted him when he saw that he was depressed.

Xi Yan was sitting by the stream with a stone in his arms, his whole body lost his mind, "I have never won a bet with others."

"Ah?" Zhan Yunyi obviously didn't expect that he was speechless for a while because of this loss.

"Zhan Yunyi, you're so noisy." Xi Yan's mind was buzzing from his comforting words just now, "I'll see you off." He stuffed the stone into Zhan Yunyi's arms.

Alas, it would be a lie to say that I am not sad. I made a bet with Mr. Xianshen. He has never won, and maybe he will not win this time.

"Really? This is the first time you gave me a gift." Zhan Yunyi seemed very happy, and took the scrap carefully.

The corner of Xi Yan's mouth twitched, "You should pay me back..."

"No, you gave it to me and now it's mine." Zhan Yunyi hugged the stone desperately and refused to let go, "However, there is no unlucky person who will always lose, why don't you bet with me once?"

"What are you gambling?"

"Hmm..." Zhan Yunyi thought for a while, picked a stone by the stream for a long time, and came back with a palm-sized stone, "I think it's an emerald." He looked serious.

"But it's just a pebble." Xi Yan retorted weakly.

"No, this is really a piece of emerald. Judging from my experience, it should be washed down from the mountain. If you look at the color and texture, it must be genuine jade."

For the next quarter of an hour, Zhan Yunyi tried to prove the authenticity of this piece of emerald at length from all aspects, and what he said was so logical that Xi Yan almost believed it.

"So I bet it's an emerald." He finally finished his argument and looked at Xi Yan with a firm face.

"Yes, is it?"

"Why don't we go to the mine owner to help cut this piece."

So Zhan Yunyi took Xi Yan back to the mine, and the owner of the mine was a little surprised to see them back, "Both come to see the stone again?"

"Brother, can you cut this piece for us?"

The mine owner widened his eyes, "But this is a pebble."

"No, this is a piece of emerald." His expression was so serious that the mine owner thought he had really misread it.

He cut the stone with half-belief, wondering if the two of them had been hit just now, and handed it to Zhan Yunyi. Zhan Yunyi had a sad face, "It turned out to be really a pebble, it seems that I lost." Patted Xi Yan on the shoulder, "Xiaoyan, you won."

Xi Yan was left speechless by his exaggerated expression, and said coolly: "Zhan Yunyi, I think you are trying to amuse me."

Finally entered Longcheng, the place is more prosperous than imagined, the streets are almost full of jade-related businesses.But they all turned their eyes to Xi Yan, whispering, with sympathy on their faces.

Why are they staring at me?Xi Yan felt a little uncomfortable, and Zhan Yunyi subconsciously stood in front of him.

At this time, a group of people broke up the crowd. Seeing their gorgeous clothes, they seemed to be the palace guards of Longcheng. The young man who led them walked up to Xi Yan, "Are you a magician?"

Xi Yan nodded, and the young man seemed to heave a sigh of relief, "That's just right, there are enough people today, and we can go back to meet business."

After saying that, he was about to take the two of them away. Zhan Yunyi looked at the young man, and it seemed that there was no malice. There were many magicians like them in the team. He lowered his head and asked Xi Yan if he wanted to go with them. If he didn't want to, he could easily take Xi Yan away.

"Let's go with them." Xi Yan pondered for a moment, now it's better to let nature take its course.

They followed the team of guards to the Longcheng Palace. On the way, Zhan Yunyi asked a magician next to him for information, "Sir, do you know where we are going?"

The magician glanced at him, obviously in a bad mood with his head downcast, "You are from other places, right? This time we are going to die."

"How?" Zhan Yunyi frowned.

"The lord of Su Yuchuan is haunted by evil spirits. He is hunting magicians everywhere these days to exorcise evil spirits, but how many people died in that palace. How can it be so easy to deal with? The magicians who went there were either frightened crazy by ghosts, or were killed by ghosts. Your Majesty pulled it out and hacked it, and now most of the magicians in Longcheng are dead in the palace." The magician whispered, his body was still shaking, "You are the shadow guard, and the shadow guards in that place are gone. It's useless, my shadow guards have escaped by themselves, I advise you to leave as soon as possible before entering the palace."

"Hehe, thank you for your kindness." Zhan Yunyi sneered, it seems that this time it will not be as easy as before.

After entering the palace, the guards lined up the sorcerers, waiting for the emperor to summon them. Xi Yan and Zhan Yunyi stood at the end, bored, and chatted in Quintet.

"Do you think there are really ghosts here?" Zhan Yunyi looked around curiously, feeling that the place was eerie.

"Of course not. No matter who it is, the soul will dissipate directly after death. If the obsession is too heavy, it will leave a grievance, which will be alienated and harmed over the years. It is probably what you call ghosts, but these grievances They are unconscious in themselves, just like those in the abyss," Xi Yan recalled what he read from the ancient books of the temple. "Resentment is often caused by ghosts in people's hearts. , not a big problem."

Zhan Yunyi let out an oh, he found that as long as Xi Yan talked about these things, his words would be different.
