Liu Qingyun opened the door, saw the two people in the room, frowned slightly, "Where is Junior Brother Baili?"
The Ge Rusong brothers got up quickly and said, "We didn't see him in a blink of an eye, I thought he was looking for you..."
"What? Junior Brother Baili is gone?" Sang Yufei came out from the next room, annoyed and anxious when she heard the words, "Why don't you take a good look at him? This is Huangu Town, I don't know what danger there is, if he is caught again What should I do if someone cheats me?"
Ge Ruping said with a bitter face, "How can we trust him? If we could, Master wouldn't have sent Senior Sister Liu along."
Sang Yufei was still furious, "Why can't I see it? If you don't obey me, tie her up..."
"Junior Sister!" Liu Qingyun called out.
Not only Liu Qingyun, but even Ge Rusong and the two brothers looked disapproving. Sang Yufei was so angry that she stomped her feet and cursed: "Just let him go, wait until the next time he kills himself, and see how you go to the palace." The lord and the master confess..."
Before he finished speaking, Baili appeared at the door late.
Baili Chi was born with a good appearance, red lips, white teeth, and starry eyes. Whenever those big black eyes look at people like puppies, it is easy to soften people's hearts.
At this moment, he looked at them with those puppy eyes, making a group of people a little uncomfortable.
Liu Qingyun looked indifferent, and said, "Where did Junior Brother Baili go?"
Her tone was calm, but it made people inexplicably feel a kind of indifference that belonged to Liu Qingyun. She didn't care where Baili Chi went, as long as he didn't die in front of her.
Baili Chi said: "I'll go to the third floor."
After hearing this, everyone didn't understand what he had done, and they were immediately angry and helpless. Not to mention the impatient Sang Yufei, even Ge Rusong brothers who had always treated her generously and cared for her didn't know what to say.
"You really—forget it, I don't care about you!" Sang Yufei shook his sleeves and left.
Liu Qingyun walked unhurriedly towards Bailichi who was standing at the door, and when she passed by him, she said: "Don't run around in the future, return to Bone Town is not to ask Xugong."
"I see, Senior Sister Liu." Bailichi said obediently.
After Liu Qingyun left, Bailichi walked in with his head hanging down, obviously a little depressed.
Ge Rusong and the two looked at him like this, even if they were angry that he was too stupid to protect themselves, they couldn't help but soften their hearts.
Ge Ruping comforted: "Junior Brother Baili, Senior Sister Liu and Junior Sister Sang are not angry with you, they just didn't see you just now, so they were worried, so they got a little anxious. This is not the Tianlun Continent, and there is no protection from the sect, no matter what happens We can only fight against anything, if something happens to you here, we may not be able to save you..."
Having said that, Ge Rusong and the two of them knew that if they faced danger together, the first thing to save was Junior Brother Baili, and he must not be allowed to have an accident.
Ge Rusong also said: "Huangu Town is very strange. Even the practitioners of the Yuan Saint Realm can only follow the rules of the town when they come in. This is not a place where you can be willful..."
Bailichi looked obedient, listening to the teachings of the two senior brothers, and after they finished speaking, he said obediently, "Don't worry, senior brothers Ge, I will remember."
Ge Rusong and the two were very pleased. Junior brother Baili was good at this, well-behaved and obedient.
Seeing that the two senior brothers frowned, Baili laughed and said happily, "Senior brother, I made some friends just now. They are the four Mr. Ning who live on the third floor. They are all good people..."
Ge Rusong and the two: "..."
They take back what they said earlier, Junior Brother Baili is not good at all, he is so innocent and stupid that he always wants to kill himself.
—
The creaking sound sounded as expected.
Wen Qiao turned over and faced the direction of the bed, and saw Ning Yuzhou sleeping sideways, and Qi Ling and Wen Gungun who were thrown into the bed by Ning Yuzhou to sleep soundly.
"Can't sleep?" Ning Yuzhou asked, his voice was extraordinarily gentle in the quiet night.
Wen Qiao hummed, and asked, "Husband, the creaking sound is too loud, I think it's better to meditate."
Ning Yuzhou laughed. There is no difference between meditation and sleeping. In this environment, no practitioner can meditate without distraction. Most of them maintain vigilance instinctively, and the effect of meditation is equivalent to nothing.
Just as he was about to repeat the same trick and put his arms around her to sleep, suddenly there was a scream from the second floor.
Wen Qiao got up quickly, pulled Ning Yuzhou and ran out.
When they opened the door, they found that Su Molan next door also ran out with Pei Qiyu. They looked at each other, knowing that the other party would definitely not be able to sleep peacefully in this environment, and would be startled by the slightest disturbance.
When they came to the second floor, they found that the people on the second floor were also alarmed. A female nun with disheveled hair was standing in the aisle with a look of shock on her face, and others stood beside her to comfort her.
"Senior Sister Sang, what happened?" Baili asked yawning, obviously just woke up from his appearance.
Sang Yufei looked shocked, pointed into the room and said, "There's, there's something inside..."
After listening, Liu Qingyun walked in directly.
The brothers Ge Rusong and Ge Ruping surrounded Bailichi and Sang Yufei vigilantly, staring at the room inside.
Liu Qingyun walked around the room before coming out, and said, "There's nothing, Junior Sister Sang may be wrong..."
"I didn't!" Sang Yufei shouted, her face full of uneasiness, "Really, I was meditating when I suddenly felt a gaze staring at me. When I opened my eyes, I found a black shadow in the room. "
"Black shadow?" Ge Ruping and the two brothers looked serious.
Because Sang Yufei was too sure, Liu Qingyun checked again, but there was still no result.
At this time, there was a creaking sound from downstairs, and then I saw Mrs. Hua's huge body appearing in the corridor. Seeing all her guests gathered here, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are you all doing here? Which third party was it before?" Not sleeping in the middle of the night and screaming?"
"What nonsense, I'm not..."
Sang Yufei instinctively wanted to refute, but Liu Qingyun stopped her, and Ge Rusong hurriedly told Aunt Hua what happened earlier.
As long as he is not as stupid as the white-clothed male cultivator in the daytime, he knows that Aunt Hua dared to open a shop here, she must not be an ordinary person, and it is best not to offend her openly.
After hearing this, Mrs. Hua said indifferently, "What is my idea? It turned out to be such a trivial matter. It's okay. My store is safe. You won't be in danger. Just sleep peacefully."
"But that black shadow..." Sang Yufei said unconvinced.
"What are you afraid of? It didn't hurt you, did it?" Aunt Hua cut her off, turned and left, "Stay in the room at night if you have nothing to do, don't come out casually, and nothing will happen."
Seeing Aunt Hua creaking away on the stairs, Sang Yufei was very angry.
"What kind of person is this? The guests are all frightened, and they act like they don't care! Sister Liu, let's change places. I don't want to live here." Sang Yufei said with some horror.
It is impossible to change the place. Liu Qingyun will choose to live in Aunt Hua's inn, and she has inquired about the news in advance. She refused Sang Yufei's request to change stores, and seeing her unhappy face, she said, "If you are afraid, you can share a room with me."
Sang Yufei was really scared. Huangu Town is really weird. Just the house made of human bones makes people feel uneasy. On the first night they lived in, something appeared. Who knows if it will happen in the future? Is there something else
Now that Sang Yufei lived in Liu Qingyun's room, the room she used to live in was vacant.
They rented three rooms. Because of Liu Qingyun's special status, she had one room alone, and the remaining two rooms couldn't be allocated anyway, so the Ge Rusong brothers, Bai Lichi and Sang Yufei had one room.
"This room is empty? It's a pity." Bailichi muttered, and when he turned around, he saw three people standing on the stairs leading to the third floor, and ran over happily, "Young Master Ning, why are you here?"
Liu Qingyun and the others had actually noticed a few people coming, but they didn't take the initiative to say hello.
Seeing Bailichi running over to talk to those people enthusiastically, Sang Yufei was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Junior Baili, it's late at night, and I still haven't come back to rest."
Bailichi had no choice but to say goodbye to the four of them, and went into the room with Ge Rusong.
Seeing that nothing happened, Wen Qiao and the others returned to the third floor to continue resting.
The world became quiet again, only the creaking sound of bones sounded rhythmically.
Wen Qiao lay on the bed and asked Ning Yuzhou in a low voice: "Husband, what do you think the black shadow Miss Sang saw could be?"
"I don't know." Ning Yuzhou said truthfully, "But judging by Aunt Hua's reaction, it should be normal and there will be no danger, so don't take it to heart."
What he said made sense, Wen Qiao felt that it might not be a big deal, and said instead: "Huangu Town is really strange, I don't know where the Dry Bone Thirteen Mansion will be."
Ning Yuzhou reached out and pulled her into his arms, "I should know soon, don't worry."
Listening to his steady heartbeat and Wen Qiao's rhythmic creaking of bones, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The second night in Huangu Town was spent peacefully.
—
The next day, Wen Qiao and the others went out again, and wandered around Huangu Town.
At noon, the four of them decided to go separately. Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao went together, and Su Molan and Pei Qiyu went to different places.
"This is the thirty-third alley in Huangu Town." Wen Qiao took a look inside the alley. Compared with the third alley where Hua Da Niang Inn is located, this alley looks very gloomy, with a bone road paved on the ground It also gives people a feeling of being in the underworld.
The two walked into the alley and came to Room No. 5 in the alley.
The bone door was half-closed, and it was pitch-black inside, and clanking sounds came out one after another.
They didn't go in rashly, but called out at the door: "Is One Eye here?"
It was quiet inside, and it took a while to hear a hoarse voice, "Come in."
Wen Qiao stepped forward to push open the door, pulled Ning Yuzhou in, and glanced over, there was a person sitting in the dark room.
The man was polishing a bone vessel, and he had ragged and messy hair that covered most of his face, but it could still be seen that one of his eyes was blind before being returned to the bone. The people of the town call him Cyclops.
"Who sent you here?" One Eye asked.
"Ms. Hua."
Hearing that it was Mrs. Hua, the one-eyed and mouth drooped, and she cursed: "That woman is so kind..." Then she asked them, "What do you want to ask?"
"Thirteen Houses of Dry Bones."
One-eyed laughed, "It's because of this thing again, you guys haven't given up yet?"
Ning Yuzhou and Wen Qiao didn't say a word. One Eye's words made them realize that there were quite a few people coming for the Thirteenth Mansion of the Bone, and this was not a secret in the eyes of many people.
"A ground-level spiritual weapon, I will tell you."
Ning Yuzhou simply threw out an earth-level spiritual weapon, and the appearance of this earth-level spiritual weapon looked like a bone.
Wen Qiao's face was full of black lines. Did her husband feel that he was going to return to Bone Town, so he specially refined a spiritual weapon related to the shape of the bone, what if it could be used
Sure enough, Cyclops liked the look very much, and said bluntly: "The bone will be returned in the light, and the dry bone will be in the night."
Wen Qiao waited for a while, and when she found these two sentences, she suddenly felt that they were at a loss. What is it if only two inexplicable words are exchanged for an earth-level spiritual weapon
"Okay, you can leave." One Eye waved impatiently as he played with the bone vessel.
Ning Yuzhou said to Duoyan: "Thank you for letting me know, senior, and I will leave."
When the two of them left Thirty-Three Alleys and returned to the busiest street in Huangu Town, she frowned and said, "Husband, there is too little news about this, do you still want to inquire?"
"No, let's wait for Pei Qiyu and the others."
When they acted separately, Ning Yuzhou and Pei Qiyu worked together. They were in charge of contacting different people to inquire about information. It happened that Aunt Hua had several names for them, and they could ask them in turn.
In the evening, when Pei Qiyu and Su Molan came back, everyone gathered in the room.
Pei Qiyu said: "We found three people today, and I sorted out the information I got. What they mean is that the full moon day of each month is the best time to enter the Thirteenth Mansion of Dry Bones. enter."
Su Molan continued, "I heard someone say today that Huangu Town is always cloudy, with neither the sun nor the moon and stars."
"Isn't that a day without a full moon?" Wen Qiao asked in surprise.
"Exactly." Pei Qiyu felt that there were many secrets in Huangu Town, so he couldn't help feeling a little excited.
Ning Yuzhou said thoughtfully: "We also got a piece of news today, the bone will be returned in the light, and the dry bone will be in the night."
Return the bones in the light, dry bones in the night
Pei Qiyu muttered, his eyes brightened, "Interesting! It's been a long time since I encountered such an interesting thing, it seems that this place is quite interesting. By the way, the five people downstairs didn't go out all day today, it seems that they are right. Some of the unspoken rules of Bone Town are very clear, maybe they are waiting for time."
Ning Yuzhou instantly understood what he meant: "Wait for the full moon."
"Exactly."
The two men were silent at the same time, with a thoughtful look on their brows.
Wen Qiao and Su Molan looked at them, and then at each other, and suddenly found that the other's behavior was very familiar, so they couldn't help but look at each other.
Well, they all understand that they are not the kind of people who like to sit back and enjoy the benefits, but when someone around them has thought of them thoroughly, they can't help but want to push the matter out of them and just sit and enjoy the benefits.
Su Molan began to reflect on herself, she could not continue to degenerate like this.
After Ning Yuzhou and the others left, she and Pei Qiyu were left. Her cultivation base was a big realm lower than Pei Qiyu's. If she didn't pay more attention, she might not be able to play against him.
After collecting almost all the information, they were not in a hurry to do anything, but, like Bailichi and the others downstairs, waited for the full moon to arrive.
This waited for a month.
Not to mention the full moon this month, I didn't even see a little moonlight. As the people in Huangu Town said, there is no sun or moon here, as if it is cut off from the natural laws related to the outside world by something.
Bailichi asked curiously, "Are you also waiting for the full moon?"
Wen Qiao nodded, gave him a panacea, and said calmly: "Yes, we asked Mrs. Hua, and she said that there is no sun and moon in Huangu Town, so we waited for nothing."
Bailichi naturally threw the top grade panacea into his mouth.
Ever since they exchanged names, Bailichi regarded them as friends, and would go to the third floor to talk to them if he had anything to do, no matter how many times he was told by the senior brothers and sisters, he would not change it, and in the end Liu Qingyun could only let him go.
As long as you don't die.
Seeing that he is so sincere, Wen Qiao is also embarrassed to treat him dishonestly, so she also treats him as a friend, and when eating the elixir with Wen Gungun, she doesn't forget to share it with him.
The first time he distributed the panacea, Bailichi's reaction was very calm, as if the top-quality panacea was a high-end product, and he threw it into his mouth casually.
This made Wen Qiao and the others realize that Bailichi and the others had extraordinary backgrounds. In their eyes, the ultimate panacea was an extremely common thing, and they didn't take them seriously.
After coming to the Hunyuan Continent, they specifically inquired in Tianzhen City and Qiyao City. This continent is indeed worthy of being considered a high-level continent by them. It is not uncommon to find top-grade elixir, and many alchemists can make it. Of course, there will not be as many as the common goods, but the level of panacea is much higher than that of the mainland they passed by before.
It is estimated that the situation in Tianlun Continent is not bad, and Bailichi's power can even afford him to squander the best panacea.
Except for the silly white dessert, everything about this young man is simply enviable.
"I guess it will take a while." Bailichi said very naturally.
Wen Qiao and Wen Gungun looked at him at the same time, obviously they were of different species, but the movements of the human and the beast were so consistent that Bailichi couldn't help but wow, and said happily: "You are all so cute."
Ning Yuzhou, who was drinking spiritual tea next to him: "..." There is a male who praises his Taoist companion in front of him, what should he do
Bailichi's childlike innocence was still there, and he couldn't refuse cute things, so he reached out and rubbed Wen Gungun, and Wen Gungun slapped his hand away with his paw.
"Wen Gungun, touch your brother twice, and brother will give you a panacea."
Bailichi took out a superb panacea.
Wen Qiao smelled the elixir, and knew that this top-quality elixir was obviously not made by Ning Yuzhou.
She is very familiar with the taste of the panacea made by Ning Yuzhou. As long as the panacea is refined by him, it tastes different from other panaceas. Only she can distinguish this small difference. It is estimated that it has something to do with her body.
It seems that Bailichi and his group really do not care about the best panacea.
Wen Gungun retracted his paws, petted him a couple of times cutely, took the panacea from his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
After teasing Wen Gungun, Bailichi continued the topic just now, "The day of the full moon should come soon, then we will enter the Thirteenth Mansion of Dry Bones together, how about?"
Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou looked at him at the same time.
Bailichi smiled silly at them.
Pei Qiyu and Su Molan who came back from the outside happened to hear this, looked at Bailichi at the same time, and thought to themselves: This is clearly the little baby that was sent up automatically, so silly!
As for Ge Rusong and the others who were worried about him, Wen Qiao and the others simply ignored them.
