Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 274 Night Detective

In front of Longmen Tower, the young man's clear voice caused many passersby to turn their heads to look. This scene is indeed rare in this place.

The nurse at the door glanced at him lazily: "Which company did you recommend?"

"." Pei Ye was stunned.

The two nurses looked at him and frowned.

Pei Ye suddenly discovered that he and the girl had some misunderstandings before - not only did he not know how to deal with the big boss of the Chamber of Commerce, but he also didn't understand the rules of the following gangs.

"What the hell is that bastard?" the nurse said angrily, "Get out!"

Pei Ye clasped his fists in embarrassment: "It's really abrupt, I'm new here - I want to meet Mr. Kou, do you need anyone's recommendation?"

Another tall nurse had a cold face and a cold voice: "Listen up, Mr. Longzhu doesn't see any young guy. If you really want to reach the sky in one step, first ask three dragon heads to pass the bone. It's hard enough, Longzhu." Now that I'm in a good mood, I'll give you a chance to meet him."

"I really have something urgent, can you please accommodate me?" Pei Ye thought that the three leaders probably followed the rules of the three leaders, and there really wasn't much time to waste on knocking on the door.

He thought for a moment and took out the Bronze Bird Card: "You two, can you use this as a step?"

The two of them were really stunned, but they quickly squeezed out a sneer from their throats. It was a kind of anger mixed with admiration and disdain: "Don't fucking come here with the dog tags of Xianrentai to make money! Boy, Qijiu The only rules in this city are Lord Long Zhu’s rules!”

"."

However, the guard placed his eyes on the heavy copper certificate and suddenly smiled coldly: "I see you have some abilities. If you really want to see me, I will give you a chance to fight in a cage."

Pei Ye was stunned: "What is 'cage fighting'?"

The nurse gave a weird smile, opened the door, and pointed to the side. Pei Ye looked at it and was stunned for a moment.

Three disfigured people were lying on the ground without even a straw mat. Their gray shirts were stained with blood, their limbs were weirdly twisted, their legs and elbows were bruised, and they were cruelly injured.

Several people closed their eyes tightly, and moaned softly like a hiss from their mouths.

"The three-foot-long cage fights with dragons. It doesn't matter whether they are injured or dead. Master Longzhu is upstairs. Whenever he looks down and sees you having fun, he will give you a chance to come forward and talk." The nurse smiled sinisterly, "From now on, seven or nine This city has your number one name!"

"." Pei Ye's expression turned cold and he glanced at them with disgust. He finally understood what the so-called gang rules were. He looked up at the candle-lit Longmen Tower and turned away.

It's getting dark anyway.

He turned around and left, found a corner to stand, and continued to read the playbook in his hand.

----

To the east of the city, there is Bixiao Pavilion.

The last ray of sunset slipped from the glazed tiles, and the light under the eaves was already dim.

This pavilion courtyard seemed to be cut into two sections, the front and the back. The front area was lit with candles and the trees in the courtyard were reflected in golden light, but the two courtyards at the back were immersed in darkness.

Li Minqing sat under the eaves, holding the black cat carefully on her lap.

It had never spoken since that opening. Li Mingqing didn't dare to talk to it, let alone poke it again. She just kept searching for the memory of the "monster" in her heart.

Apart from those legendary stories about humans transforming into demons and demons transforming into humans, the only real ones are probably the legendary "Fairy Hunters" similar to them.

But, Immortal Hunter

The only heavenly spirit in the world, after making a contract with the destined person, they will live together and never be separated, and will be the most powerful and trustworthy partner.

But... could it be the palm-sized kitten on my lap? It has to be something like the Bifan or Qilin.

The girl now really wanted to ask Pei Ye about this, but she couldn't help but feel itchy to call the boy and pass by the black cat.

".Kitten." Li Mingqing looked at the sky and finally whispered, "I'm going to take a look in their backyard. What about you?"

The black cat silently jumped onto her shoulder.

"Okay, then you have to hurry up."

When Li Mingqing settled in, he chose the innermost room, and the surroundings were very quiet. The girl had already seen it in the afternoon. There were some guards in the backyard, but it was enough for a fifth-born person to relax. The dusk that had just fallen was also the time to relax after dinner.

She walked to the wall while admiring the flower tree, gently broke off a branch, and glanced around casually. Her body suddenly rose and fell, and she stood behind the wall.

It was the narrow gap between the wall and the room. The girl stood firmly here without even a corner of her clothes brushing against her. She turned her head and saw two nurses outside the hospital talking and laughing against the wall.

Li Mingqing pulled out a small dagger and picked it gently. The window at the back of the house opened silently, and she landed silently like a cat.

Turn around and close the window gently.

The room without candles was even darker. The girl gathered her true energy and tried hard to identify the terrain. Although true energy can enhance the five senses, the moonlight was not up at this time, so it was really difficult to distinguish the details.

Then a beautiful rose-blue flower suddenly and silently lit up beside her, illuminating the surrounding layers of drawers.

The girl suddenly opened her eyes and looked back. The black cat's green eyes were quietly looking at the cabinet shelf.

"."

She took two steps, and the flower followed her. She took two steps back, and the flower stepped back again.

It wasn't until she glanced at the cool blue eyes of the black cat that she pursed her lips and showed an embarrassed smile.

Under the illumination of this fire flower, the girl searched for and identified the counter, walked slowly deeper, and finally stopped. The two dark inscriptions of "Renzi" reflected the faint blue in front of her.

Searching under this section, skipping the "Floor" and "Personnel" items, I stopped at the small drawer of "Access", and a small lock fell on it.

Li Mingqing stretched out her hand to hold the small lock, and with a gentle jolt of infuriating energy, the lock broke into two pieces silently and fell loosely into her hand.

There were a total of twelve books in the drawer. She clearly remembered that the "Yinyang County Chronicle" was in the "Winter of Chilong Renzi", so she took out the last three volumes and sat on the floor to read them carefully.

Let’s start with October.

With the ancient scrolls in hand, many things that seemed to have been lost to time were clearly presented before Li Mingqing's eyes. As soon as Li Mingqing turned to the section [Calligraphy and Painting], the three words "Dongfang Tian" appeared on the slightly yellowed paper. The ground squeezed into the girl's eyes.

That was obviously the man's peak period of creation after he became famous. One painting after another was submitted to the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce, with an interval of only two or three days.

"Pine Holds Autumn Dew" "Dusk Glow Covers Autumn Tower" "First Snow in Xiangzhou". "Ren Zidong Works for Danjun"——

The girl pointed her fingers.

It wasn't the name "Dan Jun" that caught her attention. In fact, in the October volume alone, there were quite a few names, such as "The ancient building delivers wine to the court and the filial army", "Remember the Autumn Song and the Drunk Marriage" Ru Mu" and so on.

From these entries, we can see the enthusiasm of this painter. He loved painting for his friends. He would often draw small things, and he would always enthusiastically add the names of these friends to the title of the painting.

This painting "For Lord Dan" was just one of them and should not attract any attention, but the girl clearly saw that there was no record of sale behind this one.

Is it still in the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce? In recent years, many people have asked for it. Why doesn't Qi Yun sell it?

Li Mingqing subconsciously raised her head and looked around, but after all, it was not hanging around. The girl lowered her head, closed the volume, and continued to open the November volume.

This time when she came to the section [Calligraphy and Painting], the girl was stunned.

She overturned her previous conclusion that "names are not important" because this page was densely filled with the word "Danjun", which almost exceeded the number of the words "Dongfang Tian".

Under the major heading of "Dan Jun This Year", "Dan Jun Twelve Part One", "Dan Jun Twelve Part Two" and "Dan Jun Twelve Part Three" are neatly arranged, forming a complete twelve chapters. set. There are no sales records.

The girl was silent for a while, then gently put down the book and picked up the December Book. This time, the section [Calligraphy and Painting] was suddenly much missing, and there was no longer the name Dongfang Tian in it.

Then the girl thought that this was the last winter of the Renzi year and the last month of Xiangtian's life. He walked into the Xincang Mountains.

So Li Ningqing inevitably thought of the "White Snake Love" just now - Dongfang Tian probably really had a woman named "Dan Jun" who he was in love with, and he was still so passionately in love with her just before entering the mountain.

If Dongfang Tian behaved abnormally at this time, this woman might have something to do with it.

The girl thought quietly for a while with her bright eyes, then turned her head and whispered to the black cat: "Can you tell Pei Ye and let him take a good look at the script?"

The black cat nodded.

Then he saw the girl motionless, looking at it with bright eyes.

".?"

"What did he say?" The girl blinked.

Black Cat was silent for a moment: "He said yes."

"Well, how did you talk?" Li Mingqing finally couldn't help but be curious.

"We speak from our hearts."

"."

The girl and the cat looked at each other quietly.

Then the girl lowered her head and slowly put the three books back into the drawer.

This is the "public accounting room" of the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce. According to Zhang Dingyun, all clear entry and exit matters are recorded on it, which can be retrieved at any time for others to review or use as a basis for auditing.

If you want to get a deeper understanding of some of the internal affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, you have to find the so-called "private ledger", which will clearly record the reasons behind each transaction - it is not that they are all shameful, but it is inevitable that some relationships are inconvenient It is made public because there is such a book.

This book is usually placed in the owner's residence.

As long as this copy is found, the reason why Dongfang Tian sent a large number of paintings but did not sell them can be found.

Li Mingqing gently hung up the broken lock. She didn't want to leave any traces, but she had no other choice but to try her best to disguise it as intact.

Then the fireworks beside him moved, and a trickle of blue flowed into the keyhole. The originally cool and indifferent flame suddenly showed a fierce temperature. The girl watched helplessly as the broken sections of the lock rod melted and bonded back together.

"." The girl stared blankly at the quiet kitten next to her. Just as she was about to speak, the blue flames around her suddenly collapsed, and the surrounding area suddenly fell into darkness.

At the same time, a calm and cold voice sounded in her ears: "Silence, someone is coming."

Li Mingqing's heartbeat and breathing stopped for a moment.

Under the cold moonlight, without turning around, a human-shaped shadow has been cast on the thin door and window, and gradually expands towards the door.

The silence of his actions made the girl's heart slowly tighten - she was tense the whole time, but she didn't even notice that this person entered the yard.

At least seven lives.

The girl truly knew that her breath-holding skills were definitely not enough to hide herself from such a master - in the same room, they could even hear the sound of blood flowing slowly.

Someone outside the house went up the steps, and then there was a "click", which was the sound of the lock being unlocked.

Li Mingqing's palms were sweaty and she slowly grasped the hilt of the sword.

Precisely because such a public accounting room was not too important, she was confident that she could explore it at night. She really did not expect to meet such a master.

Her body was as stiff as iron, when a small claw gently touched her wrist, and a mysterious air flowed into her body. The noise of her body was suppressed for an instant, and she suddenly felt like she was becoming air. silence.

The door opened with a creak, and a faint moonlight streamed in. The person who came was not holding a candle, and the long shadow almost stretched in front of Li Mingqing.

He walked slowly inside, and the girl noticed that the kitten beside her also tensed up.

The account books in the house were organized by year. She searched for thirty years ago, but she was already in the very depths of the house. The man slowly walked deeper, not knowing which year's records he was looking for.

The footsteps were getting closer step by step. The two sides were now only two rows apart, and Li Mingqing could vaguely see its outline from the corner of his eye.

He was a slender man, whose age was hard to tell, but the moonlight coldness on his body seemed to be close to his body. The silver pendant on his earlobe flashed a slightly cold light under the dim moonlight. The girl's eyes pierced, and her neck The cold hair rises like a cold blade.

Amid the fury, the heart-wrenching pace finally stopped.

Li Mingqing didn't even move her eyes. She identified the place where it was about twenty years ago. She listened to him unlock the door and take out the book, and then stood still for more than ten breaths.

There was only the sound of gently turning pages.

Finally, the sound of the drawer closing sounded loudly again, followed by the sound of the lock locking. But there was no process of returning the book. The man took this book and left the accounting room.

The black cat immediately jumped out of the window silently.

After a long moment of silence, the girl slowly stood up, wiped away the traces, and returned to the outside of the courtyard via the original route.

The black cat was waiting for her here, pointing to the small courtyard in the southeast corner with his paw: "He entered that courtyard."

Li Mingqing nodded. The flowers and trees were shining brightly under the moon. She admired the scenery and walked to the main entrance of the courtyard. As soon as she stood up from the nurse who was leaning against the wall, the girl had already smiled and said: "You are not allowed in here, right?" ?”

"Yes, distinguished guest. We apologize for the inconvenience." The nurse hugged his fist.

"No, I wandered away while admiring the scenery - this pavilion is really beautiful." The girl smiled, and inadvertently looked to the southeast corner, her eyes lit up, "Huh? That small building is so beautiful, is it also the courtyard of your pavilion? "

Gu Yuan looked along and said with a smile: "That is the residence of our boss."

Li Mingqing nodded. The yard was still dark before, but now a bright candle was lit.
-

The moonlight was in the sky, and Pei Ye's playbook had reached the end.

Li Mingqing informed him of what he discovered during his nighttime visit to the accounting room. Shan Peiye checked the playbook and did not see the word "Danjun". However, there was indeed a scene where the painter painted for his lover. The painting was titled "Winter is Bai Su". do".

Pei Ye felt more and more that this play had the shadow of what happened in the past. He still clearly remembered the four words "eyes shining like snakes" in "Yinyang County Chronicle".

Then he turned over the playbook in his hand and found no similar plot. However, he found that the ink handwriting on the last few pages was different from the previous text. After a closer inspection, he found that even the spine of the book had signs of being re-binded.

Pei Ye was stunned for a while, and then suddenly realized - if he hadn't repaired it, then he had changed it!

He immediately recalled the slight conflict he felt when listening to the play, and Xiaosheng's words, "This play is only available in our theater."

So Pei Ye immediately felt that he had overlooked an important line, which was much more effective than asking Mr. Kou to ask questions.

——Since "White Snake Love" is only available in Qiujiucheng Theater, where did they get the script? Who is the author? What is the modified content?

On this line, there must be an insider who knew what happened to Dongfang Tian back then!

He stood up immediately, no longer caring about the filthy building behind him, and walked back to the theater.
