The Immortal Monarch Xia was deceived

On a certain day in midsummer, a thunderstorm just fell.

The ditches in the western suburbs were narrow and severely clogged, flooding a large area.

After the rainstorm, the scorching sun came again, and the pent-up water vapor condensed into solid hot smoke, making people feel unbearably hot.

Two men in brocade military uniforms were walking one behind the other in a narrow alley full of dirty water.

One of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy covered his mouth with his sleeve, he couldn't breathe because of the decaying stench in the alley.

Those around the streets and alleys who have been staring at him, dazed and dull eyes also made him feel uncomfortable.

"How can people live in such a place..." He frowned slightly, looking at those dilapidated earthen houses with a look of distaste without concealment.

The tall young man in front of him glanced sideways at him, with a look of compassion, he said in a low voice: "Not all places in the world are prosperous and prosperous, and there are many such poverty scenes in places we can't see."

"Open your eyes and take a good look at this place, and understand the real suffering in the world."

The young man thought so, and nodded in agreement.He wanted to take off his sleeves and face it calmly, but after smelling the terrible stench, he quickly frowned and covered his nose.

The young man sighed and didn't preach to him any more. He just looked around at the road and said helplessly, "Let's go, we should be there soon."

The two walked slowly in the muddy alleyway, and the waterlogging hindered their steps, and they couldn't move fast at all.

After some difficulty, he walked out of the alley and came to the westernmost edge of the slum area.

This place is even more dilapidated and desolate, with houses with sparse earthen walls and dilapidated walls.It's not like being in the capital at all, but like somewhere in the wilderness.

Fortunately, the terrain of this piece of land is slightly higher, there is no stagnant water on the ground, and there is no pungent rotten smell.

Even if it is lifeless, it is more comfortable to stay than in the alley.

The boy was finally able to let go of his mouth and nose. He took a deep breath and asked eagerly, "Which yard is it?"

The tall young man looked around for a week, pointing ahead: "Only the courtyard door is closed, let's try to knock on the door first."

The two walked quickly to the door. The courtyard door was too dilapidated. The young man had already reached out his hand to knock on the door, but he paused and hesitated for a moment with his hand in mid-air.He was really worried that as soon as he knocked down, the door panel would fall down.

He tapped lightly on the door with the least amount of force.

There was a quick response from the courtyard, a clear and pleasant "Come in", mixed with a bit of laughter, came to the ears of the two through the door.

Although the sound is not loud, it is extremely clear like a long wind passing through the ears.

Afraid of knocking down the door, the young man cautiously opened the door panel, and was startled by the scenery in the courtyard.

Although the water evaporated quickly under the scorching sun, the ground in the courtyard was dry, as if it had never rained before, without a trace of moisture.

A young man of extremely tall stature, like a slender bamboo pole, stands in the courtyard.His eyebrows are beautiful and colorful, like a fairy and ghost walking out of a painting.

The desolate and dilapidated old courtyard, pleasing to the eye and ghosts, this is exactly the scene in the fairy tales.

What the hell?The boy's body trembled, and even in the scorching summer, there was a chill in his heart.

……

Chi Si was bored and sat in the courtyard, leaning against the mottled and dilapidated earthen wall.

The emptiness in the heart makes the mind equally blank. Even if you want to find something to do to pass the time, you still feel lazy and don't want to move.

In the past, when he was bored, he liked to lie under the sun and quietly feel the flow of fresh air from the sky and the earth.

But for the first time, the scorching sun at this moment made him feel a little anxious.

Suddenly there was a slight knock on the courtyard door, which was an expectation that he himself did not realize.

Only Qi Ji came to him like this.

Qi Ji disappeared for five days, and finally reappeared.

He couldn't help but brows with joy, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

This time, we must blackmail him a fortune, let him spend another time, and treat guests to the restaurant last time to eat the best mountain delicacies.

The one who pushed the door and entered was not the familiar figure that was vaguely expected in his heart.

What came into view were two strange men who had never met before.

It was as if a turbulent wave rushed through my heart, and the joy that filled my heart was wiped out without a trace in an instant.

It was the people from the rivers and lakes who came to him again.His bright eyes swept away, he curled his lips silently, and snorted in his heart, these two untimely people came at the right time, and he was worried that no one would accompany him to pass the time.

"Come to me to ask for Dao Zang? No." The lazy smile did not change, but a ruthless and sharp glint flashed in his eyes for a moment.

The tall young man bowed his hands to Chi Si, and reported his family name: "Xie Guanhe is from Xiayao Mountain. This is my junior brother Xie Guanbai."

Xie Guanhe's figure was tall and straight, his eyebrows were delicate, his clothes were correct, and his whole body was full of righteousness, which was completely different from the green forest and grass that came to him before.

Although Chi Si was completely ignorant of Jianghu affairs and had never heard of the name of the Yaoshan School, but judging from his gentle demeanor and style of speech, he guessed that he should be a disciple raised by a decent school.

Xie Guanbai also followed behind his senior brother and saluted towards Chi.

This round-faced boy still had surprise written on his face.

The daytime ghost in front of him had just let them in with a face of joy, but after seeing him, his voice instantly cooled down, making him feel even more chilled.

Xie Guanbai quietly straightened his clothes.

His senior brother looks good and handsome, and he himself is not ugly, he didn't do anything rude after entering the door, right?Why did the other party change their attitude so much after seeing them?

Chi Si is a quick-witted person.Xie Guanhe reported his name politely, he knew that although these two people came for Daozang, they had no malicious intentions.

Putting away the hostility in his eyes, he smiled indifferently, and said again: "The two heroes must have come here for Daozang. But I don't have this thing on me, so I'm afraid your trip will be in vain."

Xie Guanhe nodded and said bluntly: "We are indeed here for the matter of Daozang. I wonder if Chi Shaoxia is free, can you talk to us in detail?"

Chi Si pondered for a moment, then nodded lazily, as a consent.

"Shouldn't we... go into the room and sit down and talk?" Xie Guanbai asked anxiously, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Bairi Guigui's attitude towards them changed again, and it became much better in an instant.Agreed to talk to them in detail, but did not invite them into the house.

It seemed a little inappropriate for him to ask to enter the room himself.But now, when the sun is at its strongest in midsummer, they probably won't be able to finish talking about what they want to discuss for a while.

Talking in the yard under the scorching sun?I'm afraid that if I can't stand for a while, people will be sunburned.

Xie Guanhe glared at him, but couldn't bear to scold this pampered boy who had never suffered.

He apologized to Chi Si and said: "The sun is too bright, can we go to a shady place and talk in detail?"

Chi Si has a strong body and doesn't have much awareness of the change of cold and heat.

But inviting people in is the correct way to treat guests. He has not welcomed guests for a long time, but he has forgotten this.It's his fault.

Pushing open the half-covered door, he made a gesture of invitation: "It's because I didn't think carefully, please come in, both of you."

"It's just..." The corners of his mouth turned up, and his smile showed a hint of cunning, "The humble house is simple, please don't dislike it."

Xie Guanbai had long been covered in heat and humidity from the scorching sun, and it was unbearable. Hearing this, he hurried into the house with big strides.

The house is dilapidated, and it is already clear from the outside.But the house is better than the courtyard under the scorching sun.

He just wants to find a shady place, sit down and drink a glass of cold water.

However, as soon as he entered the door, the scene in the room made him stand there dumbfounded.

Xie Guanhe followed into the door and looked, he paused and was stunned for a moment.Not to mention Guan Bai, he has never seen such a rough room.

A narrow wooden bed, a rotten wooden table with a missing corner, a low square stool with a broken leg—other than that, there is no other utensils.

The room was small, the windows were small, and the room was cold but not humid.

Isn't this the place where monsters live?
