Huangquan Roadside Inn

When Baixi returned to Dongjiazhuang, Jin Hong did not follow him. Although he waited for him in front of the village, he still couldn't wait for him.

Seeing Bai Xi's return, Xue Ya couldn't wait to get out of Dong You's arms, crawled into Bai Xi's palm, rubbed his fingertips affectionately and urgently, and wrapped it in his palm contentedly.

After Mrs. Dong and Dong You fell asleep, Baixi cast a spell to erase the memory of the day, including seeing the people in the underworld. After everything was settled, she returned to Huangquan Inn with Xueya. .

But after returning to the inn, Baixi found that Qingyu, who had been guarding the dead book behind the counter, was replaced by He Qiu at this moment. Seeing Baixi coming back, his eyes were very surprised:

"Xiao Baixi, how did you get your face hurt like this?"

Bai Xi shook his head helplessly: "That beast's claws are so strong that they can't be healed even with mana."

"Well... By the way, Lord Ming said, if you send your soul back, go to the Palace of Longevity." He Qiu said hastily.

Bai Xi pointed at himself with a look of astonishment, then nodded, stepped into the backyard, put Xueya into the water basin, and then went through the gate of the underworld to the Hall of Longevity.

At the end of the Wangchuan River, the majestic Hall of Eternal Life is full of mist, especially the Bana flowers planted in front of the hall are extremely charming.

Bai Xi closed and landed steadily in front of the Hall of Eternal Life, while Luo Feng, who had been waiting by the side, walked towards him, took a careful look at Bai Xi, and his gaze stayed on the imprint between his eyebrows. After staring for a while, Cai said:

"Mingjun asked me to take you in."

"Thank you Lord Luofeng." Bai Xi saluted him with fists cupped.

But Luofeng's expression was cold, as if he didn't like him at all, he turned around and walked towards the apse, passed through the enchantment, through the nine-curved corridor on the water, saw the lotus blooming on the water, and arrived at the place where Baixi rashly broke into it last time. place.

The pavilion covered with gauze curtains lifted all the gauze curtains at this moment, Ming Jun in black clothes put down the wine glass in his hand, his eyes fell on Luo Feng and Bai Xi who came forward and stretched out their hands.

Raising his hand slightly as a signal, Luo Feng was stunned for a moment, glanced at Bai Xi who was beside him, and then retreated outside the door after saluting.

Bai Xi looked at the mask on Ming Jun's face, and hurriedly saluted: "Greetings to Ming Jun, I sent the soul back to Dongjiazhuang, and let the owner return to the body, but there was a mistake in the middle, and the evildoer escaped. Fortunately, the nobleman helped me. Obtain the inner alchemy of that evildoer's cultivation."

As Bai Xi said, he took out the inner alchemy that Jin Hong had given him, and spread it in the palm of his hand.

Mingjun stretched out his hand, and the inner alchemy appeared in his hand, but he didn't care, he got up and walked barefoot in front of Bai Xi, looked down at him from a high position, stretched out his hand and pinched Bai Xi's jaw, making him meet own eyes:

"injured?"

"Well, a little injury, it's okay." For some reason, when Bai Xi looked at Ming Jun's eyes through the mask, he felt his heart beating a little fast and flustered.

Mingjun moved his hand pinching his chin to his face, wiped Bai Xi's beautiful cheek with his thumb, and the original bloodstain disappeared without a trace in an instant: "Okay."

Ming Jun withdrew his hand, Bai Xi immediately touched his cheek, smiled and saluted Ming Jun, "Thank you, Ming Jun."

"How long have you been a ferryman? What mistake did you make, and you were punished to go to the inn?" Ming Jun flicked his sleeves and returned to the original place to sit down, holding the pot and pouring wine. Mei Jianxue in the restaurant.

When asked about this, Bai Xi seemed a little embarrassed, touched his nose unconsciously, and hid his eyes elsewhere: "It's been 500 years, I was looking for someone, and then... I was complained."

"Huh?" Mingjun put down the jug, a little confused.

"I took off the soul's pants, and I was complained." Bai Xi didn't feel embarrassed anymore, coughed lightly, and said solemnly.

This time it was Mingjun's turn to be stunned: "I need to take off my pants to find someone?"

"Well, because the man has a birthmark on his lower back, he had to take off his pants to see it." Bai Xi nodded seriously.

Mingjun drank the wine in the cup, raised his eyes again to look at the handsome man in front of him, felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and even said in a sharp tone: "Who is he?"

"I... my lover." Bai Xi thought for a while, and then said: "He is my lover, he said he would be with me forever, but in the end he disappeared without a trace, so I want to be the ferryman , in this way, no matter what his reincarnation looks like, I can find him."

Mingjun remained silent, and even Baixi could clearly sense the changes in the pavilion, which was a little cold and depressing.

After returning last night, Mingjun checked the life and death book. Baixi's previous life was indeed Mingyue, and the birthmark of Bianhua between his eyebrows was also made by himself. He clearly said that he would go to him after reincarnation, but now he said that he Another loved one?

"What's his name?" Mingjun asked coldly again.

"Changfeng, Nie Changfeng." Bai Xi replied without changing his expression. Although he didn't understand why Mingjun suddenly changed, but Mingjun wanted to ask, he had to answer.

"Okay, step back." Mingjun stared, no longer looking at Baixi, just said coldly, and the veil outside the pavilion fell automatically, blocking Baixi's sight.

Bai Xi looked at Mingjun in the veil, and after saluting him in a proper manner, he turned and walked out.

After Baixi left, Luo Feng came over and bowed to Lord Ming: "What orders does the Emperor have?"

"Check the life and death book, I want to know the whereabouts of Nie Changfeng." Ming Jun said leisurely, but Luo Feng outside the pavilion was stunned, and then saluted:

"Why did the emperor want to investigate Nie Changfeng?"

A gust of breeze blew past, lifted the veil in front of Luo Feng, Mingjun took off his mask, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes full of anger, looking at him with a stern expression: "If you are tired of staying in the Palace of Eternal Life, Why don't I tell Donghua how about letting you practice with him?"

"I dare not." Luo Feng exclaimed, and immediately knelt down in front of Mingjun.

"I see you are very daring." Mingjun's eyes froze, and even his tone was harsher. Luo Feng gritted his teeth, and then whispered forbearance:

"Nie Changfeng... because of the murder he committed during his lifetime, he was sentenced by Yama of the Tenth Palace to be punished by a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, and he has been wiped out."

But hearing these words in Mingjun's ears, cracks appeared on no matter how calm and composed his expression was: "Ashes disappear..."

He smacked Luo Feng's words carefully, and the image of Bai Xi couldn't help appearing in his mind. He was full of hope to find someone, and he did not hesitate to risk being punished for making mistakes, but that person ended up being wiped out. .

If he knew such a fact, what should he do...

Thinking of this, the Underworld Monarch lost his anger, replaced by pity and pity.

"Who else knows about this?" Mingjun asked involuntarily after taking a deep breath.

"Except for my subordinates and Yan Luo of the Tenth Hall, no one knows." Luo Feng listened to Ming Jun's tone, and he was relieved, extremely relaxed.

"That's good, don't mention this matter again, there is no such person as Nie Changfeng in the Underworld." Ming Jun immediately ordered, and then put down the veil, and let Luo Feng also retreat.

As soon as Baixi stepped out of the gate of the underworld, she saw Xueya protruding half of her body and laying on the edge of the basin, looking at Baixi eagerly, and then climbed out of the wooden basin with some excitement, causing Baixi to walk over in a hurry, and she was about to collapse. His snow teeth are held in the palm of his hand.

"Why are you so naughty." Bai Xi said with a smile, nodding Xue Ya's head lightly.

Xueya lay obediently in Baixi's palm, with some doubts in her eyes, Baixi hurriedly said:

"I just went to see Lord Ming, and he healed the wound on my face."

Only now was Xueya coiled in Bai Xi's palm, allowing Bai Xi to carry herself into her arms, and walked towards the front hall.

Bai Ci brought back the last soul that was let go by the monster in the inn, and Qingyu took that soul to resettle him. Seeing the two people standing in the hall, He Qiu hurriedly went with Qingyu with an excuse.

"Thank you, Brother Bai Ci." Bai Xi looked at Bai Ci's dusty appearance, and couldn't help stepping forward to comfort him.

"It's the duty of the ferryman to hunt down souls." Bai Ci smiled softly, and looked at his cheek suspiciously: "Why did you say that your face was injured?"

"It has been healed by Mingjun." Bai Xi replied with a smile.

Only then did Bai Ci nod reassuringly: "You must be careful in everything. Although chasing souls is your duty, you should also ensure that you don't get hurt."

"I see." Hearing Bai Ci's thoughts, Bai Xi quickly nodded in response.

It's just that his slightly furrowed brows still fell into Bai Ci's eyes, and Bai Ci suppressed his smile, and asked softly, "Has Lord Ming punished you?"

"No." Bai Xi shook his head: "Master Ming asked me why I was punished, and I told him the whole thing, it seems that Lord Ming was angry."

Bai Ci frowned: "How can you... Mingjun, what else can you say?"

"Mingjun didn't punish me or blame me, but I always feel that Mingjun is angry, and...and I suddenly want to grow wind." Looking up again, Bai Xi's eyes were filled with water vapor, helpless and dazed , he turned his back to face Bai Ci, raised his head slightly, and suppressed the tears in his eyes forcefully.

"You still have me." Bai Ci said in relief, and wanted to reach out to hug Bai Xi into his arms, but put it down before lifting it up: "Besides, I have never seen Nie Changfeng's name in the Book of Life and Death , not in the death record, Axi, do you think this Nie Changfeng is not dead in the first place?"

"Impossible. If he hadn't died, how could he have disappeared without a trace for 500 years. Besides, I have traveled all over China in the past 500 years, but I have never seen him." Bai Xi quickly refuted Bai Ci's question.

"Maybe he is not a human, nor a demon, but a god?" Bai Ci pondered for a moment, and finally expressed his doubts.

"What?" Bai Xi looked at him in disbelief.

"As far as I know, the gods of the heavens will come to the human world to practice, experience life and death, love and hatred, and love and hatred in the human world, so as to understand people better. His name is not listed in the book of life and death. I am afraid there is only one answer." Bai Ci looked into Bai Xi's astonished eyes, and said his speculation seriously.
