Stepping on drums and bells, the vermilion door inlaid with matte nails slowly opened.Yaoshi is actually a square city facing south and north.It is about ten kilometers long and wide.The difference is that there are very few permanent residents here, and only the opening of the market every three months will welcome guests from all over the world. It is so lively and lively for seven days, and everything returns to calm.Such a cycle has continued for hundreds of years.

Walking on the shoulder-to-shoulder street, Qin Yue looked at the man beside him with a little worry, and stretched out her hand and asked, "Are you all right?"

Although there are no strict regulations on single-person access for this kind of jade leaf token, it is more difficult for one more person than before.In addition, he was not skilled enough, Guan Yunheng's face turned pale when he first came in.

"Some dizziness and nausea." In fact, these symptoms have been relieved, but when Guan Yunheng noticed that the young man stretched out his hand, planning to shake hands with him, he swallowed the truth back into his stomach.

"Headache." He muttered softly, shamelessly putting part of his weight on Qin Yue.

Forget it, let him do it.Qin Yue looked sideways at the soft and relaxed silhouette of the man, and couldn't help shaking her head with a comforting and tolerant smile.

Guan Yunheng looked at the two sides of the road, and asked the red paper lanterns hanging in the air, "What are these lanterns lit?"

The last time he went in and out of here, he felt weird and irritable; now his mood has changed, and he is a little more leisurely and elegant.

"It's probably a candle made of shark fat. I have to ask Liu Suige what it is."

Speaking of this suspicious-looking demon city owner, Qin Yue was always in a bad mood.He looked around at the busy traffic in the market.All the scenery is the same as usual.Is he too suspicious and too worried?

Qin Yue gave a "tsk" sound and muttered to herself, "I must meet him after I go out."

Passing more than ten stalls, the two were stopped by a long-faced vendor with antlers.He held up a book with a tattered cover, and shouted at Qin Yue: "This monk is really a good-looking talent, elegant and suave! Come, come, come, the long-lost "Kuishan Ancestor Charm". Take a look, take a look ,Do not miss passing through."

He glanced at Guan Yunheng curiously, and then said with a smile: "This demon city has not seen such a pure human guest for many years. I have a copy of "Prolonging Life and Longevity". Peng Zu, but there is no problem in living to 120 years old."

"No, we still have something to do."

The antler merchant hastily spread his arms and boldly blocked their way: "Hey...Guest officer, don't go. The two books together will count you one hundred demon coins."

"Say it, no need." Guan Yun glared at him horizontally.

The antler merchant shrank his neck, stretched his fingers and gestured: "Eighty demon coins?"

"... Excuse me, please step aside, we are here to find someone." Qin Yue smiled kindly.

Guan Yun stood behind him with his arms crossed, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the overly enthusiastic stall owner.

The antler merchant looked at the two people with different expressions, and murmured out of the way: "Okay, please go slowly."

When they walked away, the businessman raised his hand to touch the antlers, and sighed: "Everyone says monks are scary, but the one next to him is no different. It's difficult to do business these days—"

He stared at the backs of the two of them again, then stood back at the stall and continued selling.

On the other end, Qin Yue was talking to Guan Yunheng about his shopping tips at the popular science demon market: "Like all markets, there are mixed fish and dragons here, and the water is very deep. I also found the trick after suffering a few losses. Generally, it is the least likely to cause problems The most important things are decorations and clothes, followed by fresh medicinal materials, and finally finished pills. The most untouchable things are spiritual artifacts and books. I have never heard of the Kuishan ancestor just now! It is probably a patchwork Obscure words are used to deceive people!"

"He knows that you are a monk, and he lied to you with nonsense?"

"What's the matter? Anyway, he will run away after selling out. By the time you realize it, he has already found a place to hide. It may not be possible to meet him next time."

"Aren't you afraid that you will trouble him?"

"Start asking for one hundred demon coins, and then you may be able to fold them in half and then in half. For twenty or thirty demon coins, ordinary monks don't bother to waste their spiritual power."

"..." What about the good faith management?

Seeing that he was speechless, Qin Yue smiled and said: "So, people like you who are not sensitive to prices don't know much about the twists and turns and doorways."

They crossed the noisy road, past a collapsed stage to the west.In the past, the place was full of guests, but now there are only ruins.Where the ground was smashed out of the cracks, several dogtail grasses had already emerged.In this bleakness, the growth is gratifying.

Qin Yue stopped unconsciously, her expression seemed to be thinking.

Guan Yunheng said: "I remember when I came back last time, a shadow puppet stage was set up here, and it told anecdotes about your ancestors."

"Yes."

Qin Yue sighed and walked deeper.It is the opposite direction to the previous object-finding and divination.He led Guan Yunheng into an alley.The inside is not only not narrow, but wider than the main road, but it is deserted and deserted.

"Liu Suige used to live there." Qin Yue pointed to a magnificent mansion in the distance and said, "I went there once with my grandfather when I was young. At that time, he was holding a wine gourd and sitting on a tree in the yard. Liu Shu came up a little and asked which family I was from. Due to my special constitution, I fell seriously ill after returning home. Later, my grandfather stopped bringing me to Yaoshi, but Liu Suige still came to drink with him every once in a while. "

He could see clearly: "The situation at that time is still vivid in my memory, but now there are two people, one is missing and the other is mysterious, but I am following the steps, I don't know what I am busy with?"

Guan Yunheng squeezed his hand hard.Qin Yue said again: "Don't worry, it's not here to hurt the spring and the autumn. It's just that when I see this, I suddenly think of many things. The more I think about it, the more I hope to understand it."

"I hope this time it doesn't come back in vain. If even he doesn't know the answer in this world, no one in this world will know."

He patted his backpack, which contained the geomantic records he got from Liu Lan, and walked to the door of a house with green bricks and green tiles.The entrance to the house is extremely narrow, with only one half-person-high door.The door is covered with moss, and it doesn't look like people often come in and out.

Guan Yunheng asked, "Who lives here?"

"A ghost who likes to read a lot of books. His original shape was a bookworm, and he was enlightened and enlightened."

Bookworm... isn't it just a bug that likes to chew on books?Co-authoring also brought out knowledge and feelings.Guan Yun raised his eyebrows horizontally, watching Qin Yue knock on the door knocker.

No one answered even three knocks.

Guan Yunheng asked suspiciously: "Could it be that you are going out?"

"Uh, probably not. According to modern people, this is a special house. It is said that he can't leave the house once in ten years."

"……All right."

I knocked again, but no one came out to answer the door.Qin Yue folded a sound transmission paper crane and let it fly near the wall.In the blink of an eye, there were layers of voices coming from inside: "Is Mr. Kong there? Is Mr. Kong there? There are guests—"

After a while, the sound not only did not disappear, but also became louder.Qin Yue put her ears on the door panel, and heard rustling sounds coming from inside.

With a "touch", the door opened.Standing at the door was a doll wearing an emerald green bellyband, her eyes and nose were red, as if she had been crying.Unhappy face asked: "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

Qin Yue said softly, "I'm looking for Kong Beetle, Mr. Kong..."

Before I finished speaking, I heard someone yelling inside: "Just say I'm not here."

The doll rolled his eyes: "You heard it. He said it himself."

"..."

Qin Yue and Guan Yunheng looked at each other, and saw the same helplessness in each other's eyes.

Qin Yue weighed his words and said: "Please pass it on, the descendants of Fuqiu Xiao's family are asking to see you."

The voice said again: "I don't see you! I don't see anyone! Go back!"

"Sir, he... is in a bad mood." The baby sniffled, with tears welling up in his eyes.He thought for a while, made up his own mind, and stepped aside, not trying to stop him.

Qin Yue nodded, bent over and walked in.

After entering, Guan Yunheng found that the Zhaobi pines in the yard were all miniature landscapes, all of which were scaled down to a certain scale.They were like two giants who accidentally broke into the dwarf kingdom, and they had to be more careful than usual with every step.

Not long after I left, when I saw the owner of the house, this confusion disappeared on its own.

There is a chair with its back to the door in the main hall. Someone is sitting in it and sighing, but it is not really visible from behind.

Hearing footsteps, the previous voice sounded again: "Didn't you say you were gone? Why did you come in anyway? Did the green clothes let you in?"

Just as Guan Yunheng was looking for the source of the sound, a black, extremely small object jumped from the chair onto his shoulder.It seems that someone sniffed his nose next to his ear: "Human? Kid, which family's junior are you from? How do you get mixed up with the Xiao family boy?!"

Guan Yunheng was taken aback.He turned to look over his left shoulder.Standing on it was an old man only one-third the size of a thumb, with wide-sleeved robes, white eyebrows and beard, and a wooden stick in his hand.

"……"so small.

"Hello? I want to ask you a question!" The old man poked hard, with considerable strength.

Qin Yue coughed and clasped her fists together: "Mr. Kong, this is Guan Yunheng."

He pulled Guan Yunheng again: "This is Kong Beetle, Mr. Kong."

Kong Beetle rolled his eyes, looked up and down the two people in a circle, and finally landed on their clasped hands.

He let out an "oh" and muttered, "Fuqiu...is really going to be the last one."

Qin Yue & Guan Yunheng: "...??"

Sure enough, what do you mean?
