Chapter 6 Snakes

In fact, Ye Que did not have too urgent demands for the magic weapon in the cultivation world, but the little demon fox tonight reminded Ye Que that the demon world should have begun to invade the human world. You may not pay much attention to it now, but the time left for him will definitely not be too long.

Ye Que has a plan to improve his realm, but it is hard to cook without rice. Some spiritual medicines or materials still need some opportunities to find them. If there is a ready-made auction, it would be nice to go and have a look.

Seeing Ye Que moving a little, Qian Shuxiao quickly said, "Sir, don't worry, as long as it is something you like, you don't have to bother. I will definitely take a photo for you and present it with both hands. In this Luoyang City, if we compare financial resources, our Qian family has never been afraid of anyone."

"If I can meet something that suits me, I owe you a favor." Ye Que said in a deep voice.

"I dare not, it's already a great favor for you to accompany me." Qian Shuxiao's lips were filled with joy.

When it comes to Qian Shuxiao, as the only grandson of the Qian family in Luoyang, you don’t have to be so humble when making friends with others. However, the Qian family is a merchant. The descendants of the Qian family of all generations have a pair of wise eyes and know how to see people. Who is worthy of being friends, who is worthy of being friends with, and who is worth spending a lot of money to be friends with. People are the most worthy of investment. Why did Qian family come to this day because there are always noble people to help.

Qian Shuxiao was shocked by his skills when he saw Ye Que at the first time, not to mention that even his life was saved by Ye Que. In his opinion, Ye Que should be the noble person in his destiny.

As for the four young masters of Luoyang, who are just friends with wine and meat, they can share sweetness and cannot share hardships.

Without paying attention to Han Yu and others, Qian Shuxiao led Ye Que away from the Peony Tower directly.

Soon, when time reached midnight, the entire Luoyang City gradually entered a drowsy state, and the bustle of the night market slowly dissipated, and almost all the diners in the lobby on the first floor of the Peony Building were also exposed. At this time, the boss was calculating the income of the day, and Xiao Er was doing the finishing work quickly. As for the guests on the second and third floors, they were already asleep.

The kitchen of Mudan Building is behind the lobby, and there is a small cottage on the left side of the kitchen. Under the cottage is a wine cellar, which stores high-year wines that are not often sold on weekdays. The wine cellar remains in a full cellar all year round. If it is consumed strongly, it will be replenished every once in a while. In the past few days, several Western Regions circuses have come to Luoyang Night Market, so there are many diners in Mudan Building, and the high-year wines consume more than usual. Tonight is the day to replenish the goods.

Zhang Xiaojiu is the nephew of the owner of Mudan Building, so it is naturally no other's turn to purchase and replenish goods. After touching the bulging wallet around his waist, Zhang Xiaojiu hummed a small song and hugged the last jar of old Du Kang to the wine cellar.

Holding the wine jar with one hand and the wooden ladder with the other, Zhang Xiaojiu walked on a familiar road, only three or four meters high, and could enter the wine cellar in the blink of an eye. He would not trip even if he had his eyes closed.

"No need to mention dragons and phoenixes, no need to discuss marriage, your appearance has penetrated into my heart." After receiving the offering from the winery, Zhang Xiaojiu was in a particularly good mood and hummed the little song with great enthusiasm. The wine cellar is not small, but he is the only one, and the echo of the voice is naturally excellent.

"Shishe."

"who?"

Zhang Xiaojiu shouted uncertainly. Just now he seemed to hear some movement in the depths of the wine cellar.

"Shishe."

As soon as I finished shouting, I heard two more sounds, as if something was rubbing against the ground.

A trace of cold sweat emerged from Zhang Xiaojiu's palm. After all, it was midnight, and in this dark underground wine cellar, if there was a real accident, there would be no place to cry. Subconsciously took out a fire letter, Zhang Xiaojiu trembled hard and blew hard for a few breaths, and soon the firelight illuminated the entire wine cellar.

He raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked over carefully. There was nothing else in the entire wine cellar except for hundreds of jars of fine wine. Zhang Xiaojiu breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, wiped the sweat in his palms, and scared people to death.

"Next time, I will never restock the goods at night. This place is too cunning." Zhang Xiaojiu muttered and put Du Kang in his hand on the drunk driving next to him, turned around and walked back. He was already a little scared now and didn't want to stay here for a moment.

"Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you." Zhang Xiaojiu was still muttering something while walking.

But the moment he turned around, a blood-red snake letter suddenly appeared in the shadow of a wine jar, and then a green snake head. In just a breathing moment, the green shadow crawled towards Zhang Xiaojiu in a zigzag shape. When he raised his legs and climbed up the wooden ladder, the snake head under his feet just shone out four white fangs.

"What?" Zhang Xiaojiu felt that his ankle hurt, and a numb feeling began to come suddenly. He held Huo Xinzi in his hand and looked down at his feet. As Huo Xinzi passed behind him, Zhang Xiaojiu's eyes also widened, and showed an extremely fearful expression. He swore that he had never seen such a terrifying scene in his life.

The wine jars surrounding the wine cellar are densely packed with snakes, black, blue, green, and all kinds of colors, countless.

On the wall deep in the wine cellar, under the light of fire, a dark shadow cast on it, seemingly unhuman.

A scream came from the underground wine cellar.

However, the cottage where the wine cellar is located is a bit far from the lobby of the Peony Tower, and there is no one in the kitchen at this time, so no one heard Zhang Xiaojiu's last call for help.

Time passes quickly, less than a quarter of an hour.

In a guest room on the second floor, a fat white and fat merchant was lying on the bed snoring, muttering a few words from time to time. Perhaps the fat merchant was afraid of the heat and did not put down the roller blinds on the bed. His house happened to be on the sun. With the moonlight, he saw slender shadows slowly approaching the bed, and as if they had a positioning, he climbed straight up on the belly of the fat merchant, and then opened his fangs together.

At the same time, a woman who came to visit relatives from other places on the third floor was surrounded by snake groups. A young man who came to Luoyang to make a living was also poisoned. There was only one room on the second and third floor of the Peony Building. He was a scholar from Qingzhou Prefecture who came to Luoyang to take the imperial examination. He did not sleep at night and was still studying hard, but he happened to witness the whole process of being besieged by the snake group. Although he did not fall asleep and was awake, he only persisted for a few more seconds. How could a scholar who had no power to tie a chicken to defeat the snake group?

"San'er, did you make a sound just now?" The owner of Mudan Building was calculating the accounts, and suddenly raised his head and asked the clerk.

"It seems to be coming from the third floor." The guy named San'er replied uncertainly.

"It's so unlucky. It's been this night, and it's not a stop. First, the young master named Qian, and then the young master named Han. What's wrong now? Are there any distinguished guests on the third floor?" The boss rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache, "San'er, go up and take a look, so that they can rest early if they have nothing to do, don't ask for trouble. This is Luoyang, there are royal laws and rules."

"Okay, boss, I'll go now." San'er replied casually and walked up the second floor.

He walked slowly up the second floor, but in the blink of an eye he rushed down, and shouted in horror while running, "Old, boss, snake, snake."

"Snake? Where is there a snake? Is it so fussy? Just find a guy to get it out. It depends on your prospects!" The boss raised his face and scolded him.

"No, not one." San'er gestated, and even said something was not smooth. You know, he was a waiter in the lobby and worked all by his mouth. "Old, boss, you, behind you."

"Dangdangdang."

"The sky is dry and the earth is dry, be careful of the fire candle."

On the streets of Yong'an, west of Changsheng Bridge, the old man who was playing in the middle of the bridge was passing by the Peony Tower, thinking about the pot of wine he drank before nightfall, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The Qian Mansion is not on Yong'an Street, but is located on Zhuque Street a little further north. It has a ten-in-one house and hundreds of rooms. Although the area is not as rich as the hometown, this is Luoyang, a place where every inch of land is valuable. It is said that this house is the mansion of a prince of the previous dynasty. After the dynasty is changed, it was bought by the Qian family for a lot of money.

Qian Shu laughed so hard that the six sedan chairs were twisting and turned around. It took him a long time to stop in front of a garden covered with green trees.

"Young Master, you're home."

After getting out of the sedan chair, Qian Shu smiled and pointed to the room in front, "Sir, this room is the best place in my house. There is a Baiyu Pond in the back and a green bamboo forest in front, which is only a hundred meters away from my room. It is quiet and elegant, with green trees and red flowers. You can see if you are satisfied or not. If you are not satisfied, I will find you another place."

Ye Que looked in the direction Qian Shuxiao pointed, walked through a path made of gravel, and then passed through a small bamboo forest. At the end was a small house with red roof and green tiles. "You can live anywhere. I don't have too high requirements for these things. As long as it's not too noisy, you can see the arrangement."

"Then I'm sorry, please give me a grudge." Qian Shu said with a smile and led the way, "By the way, I never knew what to call you?"

"Ye Que."

"It's better to have nothing than to have nothing."

"Good name."

"Do businessmen like to flatter so much?"

"How can you flatter? Your name is really great." Qian Shuxiao grabbed his hair awkwardly. If this wasn't a flattery, he wouldn't even believe it himself.

It was already late at night, and many houses in Qian Mansion had turned off their lights and rested, except for some maids who had to work night shifts. But strangely, after a few steps, everyone saw that on the north side of the Green Bamboo Forest, there was still a room with bright lights at this time. Judging from the size and structure, it was obviously not the residence of the servants.

Qian Shuxiao was really good at observing his expressions and looked at him and explained, "This room was originally empty, but recently, my sister insisted on moving here, and she was obsessed with writing and painting here. Sometimes one stroke is all night, which is incredible."

"Have your sister painted before?" Ye Que asked casually.

"Although my sister's name is Qian Shuhua, she never touches the pen."

There must be something strange when something happens. Ye Que subconsciously looked at the brightly lit room. He saw a silhouette of a short-haired woman next to the window, looking at the posture of painting. The main door of the house was open, and two little maids stood on the left and right at the door, both of whom were so sleepy that they began to doze off. The room was rushing to the wall at the door, with mountains and waters lingering in the paintings, clouds and mists.

From a distance, I looked very meaningful. When I looked closely, the cloud seemed like a ferocious beast that could eat people in a trance. The cloud was the bloody mouth.
