Duan Yunchang closed his eyes and waited for his restless heart to calm down, then opened his eyes again and raised his hand to quickly pull the bed curtain aside.

The room that Gu Nianzi arranged for him has a skylight, the skylight on the roof is clean and bright, at this time he can see clearly the hideous face attached to the skylight.

This kind of sudden situation happened too much recently, he was only startled for a moment, then calmed down, got out of bed and looked up at that face.

The ferocity of this face is grief, and the black and empty eye sockets are full of blood and tears. She opened her mouth towards Duan Yunchang, and slowed down the closing speed, as if to let Duan Yunchang see what he was talking about.

Duan Yunchang frowned, and stretched his neck a little, trying to see the shape of that thing's mouth clearly.

Finally, after the third time, Duan Yunchang understood what that thing was talking about.

"Tea house?"

"Is it a teahouse?"

Before Duan Yunchang could finish his question, the thing lying on the skylight suddenly dissipated like a wisp of white mist.

"She is... He Xiwan?"

After realizing it all at once, Duan Yunchang quickly put on his clothes and ran out of the house.

"Where are you going?"

Gu Nianzi sat on the white stone bench in the courtyard, and on the table in front of him was a white porcelain bowl, which contained fragrant soup.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly when he saw Duan Yun grow up, and he didn't look surprised at all, as if this was what he expected.

"The teahouse! He Xiwan came just now." Duan Yunchang quickened his steps towards Gu Nianzi, his tone more or less eager.

When I came to Gu Nianzi, I saw him calmly pushing the bowl in front of him, "Drink this first, and I will go with you."

Smelling the light fragrance, Duan Yunchang raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Nianzi, "Is this hangover soup?"

"I saw that you were quite drunk just now." Gu Nianzi smiled and nodded.

Afraid that he would be exposed, Duan Yunchang blushed again, raised his head and gulped down the soup in the bowl in one go.

"Let's go."

When the two came to the teahouse, they saw a burnt-out lantern on the ground, and there was silence around them.

Seeing some blurred writing on the lantern, Duan Yunchang squatted down and took a closer look, then frowned, "My sister has been here before."

There is a rune about one finger long on the lantern. The font is slender and powerful, and the red line is drawn quite cautiously.This is a talisman drawn by Duan Yingqi for Duan Yunchang's safe departure from the city, which was later given to Duan Yulian by him.

"They may have gone into the teahouse." Gu Nianzi turned to face the teahouse, looking down at the black bloodstains on the ground.

He Xiwan's body was brought home by Shopkeeper He yesterday, and Yubai had already fully purified the corpse's resentment before handing it over to Shopkeeper He.But the black blood in front of his eyes clearly told him one thing, He Xiwan's corpse was blamed.

Before Duan Yunchang stood up, something fell straight from above and hit him in front of him.

He took a closer look and saw that it was a corpse.The corpse suddenly turned its head towards him, the ferocious face was completely different from what he saw just now.

The He Xiwan he saw from the skylight just now can be said to be sad and ferocious, but what he sees now is indeed frighteningly ferocious.

Seeing the skinny hand reaching out to him, Duan Yunchang quickly stood up and jumped away.

"How did she become like this in the ancient city of Jiangyuan?"

With that said, Duan Yunchang trotted to Gu Nianzi's side.

"Shh..."

The corpse on the ground twisted stiffly a few times, then got up from the ground in a strange posture, and rushed towards the two of them again.

Gu Nianzi made a silent movement without changing his face, and when Duan Yunchang didn't respond, he took out a sword from somewhere and swiped at the thing.

The sharp blade slid across the thing's waist quickly and precisely, bringing with it a sudden gust of wind, and Duan Yun couldn't help but close his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that the corpse had been sliced ​​in half. Duan Yunchang hurriedly put his hands together and bowed to the thing lying on the ground that could no longer move.

"Sin of sin."

Gu Nianzi withdrew his sword and smiled at Duan Yunchang's pious appearance. "It's just a body, don't take it so seriously."

"The husk?"

Asked, Duan Yunchang's eyes fell on the sword in Gu Nianzi's hand.

The sword was surrounded by a flowing faint red, and the tiny runes on the sword were only occasionally exposed.On the jasper-like hilt is a golden lotus flower pattern, which also emits a faint golden light in a low-key manner.

Feeling his gaze, Gu Nianzi smiled and handed the sword to Duan Yunchang without hesitation, "The body means that the soul has been removed from the dead body."

After seeing the sword enough, Duan Yunchang looked away.

"This sword is so beautiful." It was worth a lot of money just by looking at it.

Gu Nianzi smiled lightly and remained silent.

"Ah! Help!"

Duan Yunchang's attention was immediately attracted by a panicked scream in the teahouse, and he quickly walked to the teahouse and kicked him away.

"Hane! Where are you?"

"Brother! I'm..." Duan Yulian's words disappeared before she could finish.

Gu Nianzi frowned slightly, and looked around the environment in the teahouse.

This is still the way they came to the teahouse that day, but the teahouse is covered with weird black charms on all sides.White characters on a black background, from which wisps of black air continue to float wantonly in the air.

Trying to calm himself down, Duan Yunchang turned around and quickly explored various places in the teahouse, calling Duan Yulian's name at the same time.

"Yu Lian!"

He kept shouting in the dim teahouse, and he didn't hear Duan Yulian's answer for a long time, only his voice lingered.

on the carriage.

Yu Baichu was flipping through the pages of the book, occasionally picking up a brush to draw a few lines.

Hearing the desolate song suddenly, the movements of his hands stopped.

"Old Liu, did you hear anything?"

Putting down his pen, he asked Xiaosi, who was carrying a carriage outside.

Hearing this, Siu Si, who was sitting outside, pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Amidst the whirling of the wheels of the carriage and the crisp sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the ground, there was suddenly a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Some old Liu, who dared not judge, listened carefully again, and heard that voice again.

"My lord, I heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground."

Old Liu was very sure this time, because the voice he heard became more and more clear as the carriage moved.

Until when he was passing a turning, a dark object fell suddenly from in front of him, startling the horse to take a few steps back.

Sitting in the car, Yu Baichu accidentally fell off the soft chair, "What's going on outside?"

"My... my lord! There is a corpse!"

Hearing Old Liu's unbelievable voice, Yu Baichu felt that something was wrong, stood up and walked out.

The corpse that just fell from the front of Lao Liu disappeared quickly on the ground, and fell from the tall building to the ground the moment Yubai walked out the door, and the cycle continued like this.

"This is He Xiwan's heart knot." Yu Baichu looked at the corpses that fell from the tall buildings again and again, and slowly opened the fan and fanned it.

Old Liu put the horsewhip in his waist and took off the bamboo weaving that covered most of his face, and jumped out of the carriage nimbly.

"I feel Master Gu's soul power, maybe Master Gu has entered this teahouse."

Lao Liu's voice was very rough and heavy.

"There are still three breaths."

It was not Yu Baichu who answered his words, but the white horse that Lao Liu just rode.

The white horse wagged its tail lazily, raised its brown eyes and looked at the teahouse.

"This situation means I won't be able to sleep again tonight, right?"

Yu Baichu got off the carriage very reluctantly, and his fanning movements were much faster.

"My lord, you have worked hard." One horse and one man comforted each other.

"Ha..." Yu Baichu sighed heavily, "Go back to the underworld and wait to sort things out, I'll go in and look for Mr. Gu."

"Yes."

Lao Liu hurriedly got into the carriage, waved his whip and left as if fleeing.Obviously these two didn't intend to accompany Yu Baichu to work late at night.

"Don't give me a chance to catch you, or your salary will be deducted sooner or later." Yu Baichu was so angry that his teeth itch.

When he entered the teahouse, he saw white characters on a black background all over the wall, and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch a few times.

"The right eye jumps disaster, the left eye jumps money. I hope I can rest early tonight."

"It's the right eye jumping for money, and the left eye jumping for disaster." A cold voice came from behind, and suddenly Yu Baichu's eyes moving randomly in the darkness were fixed.

Turning around, I saw Duan Yunchang holding a white candle.

Duan Yunchang's complexion was extremely bad at the moment, tiny beads of sweat stood out on his forehead, his body trembled slightly, his lips were slightly pursed as if he was holding back something.

"You won't be resting tonight."

Gu Nianzi appeared behind Duan Yunchang again, he smiled lightly and said something to Yu Baichu, and raised his hand to take the white candle in Duan Yunchang's hand.

The white candle in his hand was taken, Duan Yunchang relaxed his lips and put down his hand.

Now his whole body is in pain, and the vines in his body are not growing steadily, which makes him very uncomfortable.

"Why did you come here?"

Gu Nianzi saw Duan Yunchang's slightly trembling hand, holding the candle farther away.

The parts where the two were close were away from the light source, and they were hidden in the darkness.

Gu Nianzi asked Yubai as if nothing had happened, and naturally held Duan Yunchang's hand in the dark.

Duan Yunchang realized that he was held by a hand when the cold touch came. This is the temperature he is very familiar with, and it comforts the things in his body.

Gu Nianzi's thumb rubbed against his palm a few times, Duan Yunchang felt hot besides the pain, so he quickly took several deep breaths to stabilize his mind.

"Of course I saw something weird. The corpse outside kept falling over and over again. It's hard not to pay attention."

Yu Baichu waved his fan, not noticing the secret movements of the two, and looked around. "Didn't it mean that there were three breaths? Why is there only one?"

He didn't notice the weirdness of what he said, but Duan Yunchang felt that there was something vaguely wrong, so he didn't say anything in the end.
