kidnap a beauty to catch a demon

The man noticed their scrutinizing eyes, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled nonchalantly, and stretched out his hand in a gesture of shaking hands with them.

Fang Yize frowned, moved a little in front of Ji He, and blocked Ji He's face, while he passed his right hand forward to hold the man's outstretched hand.

As expected, the man's five fingers just vainly covered the back of Fang Yize's hand, without any real tactile sensation.Fang Yize looked deeply at the unknown male ghost in front of him, and his tone sank: "It's such a troublesome thing, what's your intention to lure us here?"

"I don't mean anything malicious," said the male ghost in front of him with coquettish eyebrows, but his tone was gentle and clear. Except for the terrifying scar on his neck, this male ghost with long hair and long robes is really a rare romantic person. "It's just some trivial matters. I want you two to help me. I had no choice but to do what I did before. I hope you two will forgive me."

The male ghost's attitude was modest, and his attitude was extremely low. Fang Yize was at a loss for words for a while, feeling a little helpless.If he had an arrogant attitude and didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, he would have left him long ago, and even taken the ghost directly. The problem is that this male ghost is doing the opposite, and his attitude is so low that he can't even It's embarrassing to curse.

"Having said so much, why don't you introduce yourself first?" Ji He asked in a cold voice with a slight frown.

The male ghost looked at Ji He, and smiled warmly, like a breeze blowing on his face, and like a clear spring flowing, and then slowly explained: "My surname is Shen, and the single name is the word Xi, and the word Zhiyun, you two call me directly. can."

Ji He raised his eyes, and read it calmly: "Shen Xi, Shen Zhiyun?" Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Ji He paused, and turned his head to look at Fang Yize.

Fang Yize seemed to have sensed something, met Ji He's gaze, and heard Ji He whisper: "Decades ago, the pillar of the troupe who performed "Peach Blossom Fan" in the local area but disappeared overnight for no reason, is It's called Shen Xi."

Hearing this, Fang Yize was taken aback for a moment, and asked subconsciously, "What are you playing?"

Ji He knew the elegant meaning when he heard the sound of the strings, so he roughly explained: "In the gossip about the supernatural event I saw on Tianya, the actor who played the role of Li Xiangjun, the heroine of "Peach Blossom Fan" in the missing theater troupe was called Shen Xi. , in the Liyuan world, there is an elegant title of 'Little Xiangjun Reincarnated'. But Li Xiangjun's role is obviously a female role, how could it be a man?"

Before Fang Yize had time to say anything, Shen Xi in front of him smiled and said: "What do you two want to know, just ask me, the person involved. Those gossip posts on the Internet are rumored, and they don't have much credibility."

Hearing what he said, Fang Yize felt relieved. Shen Zhiyun had already made his attitude clear, so they couldn't carry anything more, so they nodded at Shen Xi, "Let's talk about it first."

At this moment, a cold wind blew past and wrinkled the cold water in the pool. Shen Xi glanced at them apologetically, then lowered his head, covered his mouth with his sleeve, and coughed softly. There was a bit of literati elegance, but when he finished coughing and raised his head, Fang Yize and Ji He were both stunned.

Shen Xi's face was already pale, and the blue blood vessels on his face were all visible. After coughing, his whole face was as if piled up with ice and snow. It was lighter, making the scar on the neck more conspicuous.

I don't know if it was Fang Yize's illusion, but he always felt that the color of the scar on Shen Xi's neck had become much brighter. It didn't mean that the color had become lighter, but that the originally dark red wound suddenly changed into a brighter color. It became bright red, as if it had just been drawn up not long ago.

I must be wrong.Fang Yize was thinking in his heart, but he noticed that Shen Xi's eyes were not quite right, as if they were a little sad?He was thinking about it in his mind, when Shen Xi sighed and said leisurely: "You two have sharp eyes, you should have seen the unusualness of this wound on my neck."

Fang Yize's thoughts turned, and he had a guessing direction in an instant, and asked him in a deep voice: "That's why you came to us?"

Shen Xi's eyes darkened for a moment, and then he said softly: "Yes. No. Let me tell you the whole story of the supernatural incident on the Internet."

As he spoke, Shen Xi spread his hands, turned towards the two of them, turned his body sideways, and made a "please" gesture, and then, with a flick of his hand, the iron bench beside him changed its appearance, It turned into three small scorpions, just right for three people to sit down.Fang Yize and Ji He looked at each other and sat down without saying anything. Shen Xi reached out and squeezed the hem of the robe on his body, and then sat down calmly.

Fang Yize looked at Shen Xi with interest for a while.

He's not stupid. From the time we met to now, this male ghost named Shen Xi not only has long waist-length hair, but also wears a long robe and jacket from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. He even speaks politely, and most people can guess that this is a ghost who died during the Republic of China, and it must be a ghost with some ink in his stomach.

As for whether it was the "Reincarnated Little Xiangjun" from the troupe that suddenly disappeared, it would depend on what Shen Xi said next.

"Life is like a dream, but who would be happy?" Shen Xi let out a long sigh, and said in a low voice, "I am indeed the 'Reincarnated Little Fragrance Lord' that you two just mentioned, but that is from Liyuan Colleagues and guests joked about it, not much to do. There were not many women who were truly as noble as Li Xiangjun at that time. After all, in troubled times, it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

Speaking of this, Shen Xi's voice paused, met the two people's unconvincing gazes, and continued: "Although there are roughly divided into Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo and Chou in the Liyuan Bank, Business, but there are more detailed classifications in each business. Li Xiangjun in "Peach Blossom Fan" is Tsing Yi in Danjiao. I grew up in an opera garden and learned art from a teacher. Because of my own advantages, I learned Tsing Yi."

"I know that," Fang Yize clicked his tongue, "Mei Lanfang also studied Tsing Yi, right?"

Shen Xi smiled slightly and nodded: "That's right, Mr. Mei's skills in Tsing Yi are extraordinary, so I can't match him naturally, that is, I did well in the theaters in our area, and because I played the role of the character in "Peach Blossom Fan" After Li Xiangjun became famous, he gradually got the nickname of "Little Xiangjun Reincarnated". Later, when the host heard that the Japanese were coming, he brought our troupe from Kunshan to Dongyang, thinking that it would be more peaceful here. , can act in a few more plays, and earn a living."

"But you all disappeared overnight without leaving any news." Ji He said flatly, looking at Shen Xi, his eyes couldn't help showing a little confusion, "What's going on?"

Shen Xi's expression darkened for a moment, he stretched out his hand to touch the hideous scar on his neck, and said in a low voice: "Of course it's because of something that happened to me."

In 26, that is, in the second half of the [-]th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese, who had suppressed the fat on their lips for a long time, finally tore off the so-called "Great East Asia Co-prosperity" After the Battle of Songhu ended one after another, the ugly face of invading China was truly revealed. The military activities gradually advancing from Shanghai, all the way from north to south, forced countless Chinese people to leave their homes and become displaced.

The troupe owner of Shen Xi's troupe was sensitive to the turmoil of the current situation after the Japanese army entered Nanjing, and he made a decision when he stopped. In Dongyang, Zhejiang Province, after the local officials and local snakes were dealt with, the opera troupe revived and continued to sing operas in Dongyang. There was "A Dream in the Garden", and of course there was Shen Xi's best "Peach Blossom Fan".

The theater troupe opened with excitement, and the beautifully crafted posters were posted. The troupe master was ambitious. The first song he sang on the first day was "Peach Blossom Fan", which was usually the most popular and most sought after. He wanted to win the first prize. , a good sign.

The hall meeting that day was really wonderful, the theater was full of seats, there was a lot of applause, Shen Xi was in good condition, and the play where Li Xiangjun splattered the peach blossom fan with blood in order to show his ambition was sung very well.And when they finished the day's activities, when the head of the group proposed to hold a banquet in a hotel in the city to celebrate their achievements, Shen Xi suddenly realized that something was not quite right.

After he finished singing and taking off his make-up, he remembered that the peach blossom fan used as a prop hadn't been packed away, and he didn't want to bother others, so he went to find it and wanted to put it back in the original cage, but he saw the peach blossom fan. While fanning, I suddenly found that the blood on the fan was not the same as usual.

Since there is a play of Li Xiangjun's blood splashing on the Peach Blossom Fan, every troupe that can sing "Peach Blossom Fan" must have such a peach blossom fan.The peach blossom fan in their theater troupe was specially made by Shen Xi. The fan bone was made of Xiangfei bamboo, the fan was soft and white, and the fan was embroidered with a few peach blossoms in full bloom. A small dark green tassel is hung on the handle, which adds a bit of elegance to this round fan.

What surprised Shen Xi was that usually the fan was just blood stained with red paint, but this time it looked real, with a little dark color in the bright red. Smell--

It also has a faint fishy smell.

Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat. Although he was still a little uncertain, he had already started to suspect. Before he had time to think about it, he heard the theater troupe master urging him outside the door, telling him to come out quickly and have a drink with everyone.

Shen Xi didn't care to think about anything, he put the peach blossom fan on the dressing table, and hurried out.
