After a brief silence, Ye Shu slowly pulled his palm out from under her fingers and said, "Okay, I'm not cold anymore, why don't you go back to your own bed and sleep?"
Chang'an was picked up by him from a secret room in Zhao Kingdom. Zhao Kingdom is located in the northern continent of Tianyao. It is one of the few powerful countries among the countries that believes in demons. The Langya Demon Sect is the religion of Zhao Kingdom.
People from the Demon Sect have always been cruel in their methods. In order to study new secret techniques to strengthen themselves, they often secretly purchase slaves to use as trial bodies.
Most of these slave trial bodies are people with spiritual roots and extraordinary aptitudes since childhood.
Ye Shu was also thrown into the dark secret room as a trial subject and tortured for a year.
The people of the Demon Sect in the Secret Art Room are cruel and cruel. All the trial subjects who enter are basically tortured like animals. Not only are they physically abused, but they are also defeated and controlled mentally.
The trial of secret arts usually lasts only a short time. It can take up to one year at most. The subjects in the trial will be completely tortured and drained of all the value that can be mined from the body. Very few people can walk away completely.
come out.
But Chang'an was an exception. She only stayed in the secret room for a month before Ye Shu took her home.
Of course, she had not completed her stay in the secret room, so naturally Ye Shu had to come and complete it for her.
Ye Shu's body has also suffered great damage. He suffered the torture of bone removal and bone replacement. The 206 human bones in his body have been replaced with 98. Those 98 bones were all taken from the snowy demon wolf.
bones.
The body of a mortal is forcibly grafted onto the bones of a demon.
At that time, Ye Shu was only a teenager, and he was tortured by the people from the Dark Territory of the Demon Sect until he was transformed into a human being. He suffered from the pain of the coldness of the demon bone every night.
Chang'an, who was rescued by Ye Shu at that time, stayed with him every day and clearly remembered his miserable appearance every night.
It was so cold that his hair and eyebrows were frozen, and the skin on his body was frozen blue and purple. He could not speak or move his limbs, and he looked like a disabled person.
Chang'an has two spiritual roots, wood and fire. He saved her from hell, and she burned her spiritual roots at night to relieve him of the pain of cold bones. The two were helpless in that dark period.
Over the years, we have been stumbling and accompanying each other through the most painful time.
They have been like this since childhood. Ye Shu rarely gets close to others, but he is used to her company to warm him up at night.
He followed Lin Zheng into the demon world and lurked for decades. He only returned to the human world a month ago. He worked non-stop in the dark to solve the internal and external troubles in the Hou Mansion that had been left unattended for decades, and helped Lin Zheng secure his position as Lord Lord.
After taking a breather, I returned home and was about to fall asleep as usual during my days in Zhaoguo.
But the quilt and thin clothes were close to each other, and Chang'an's body was no longer as young and difficult to grow as it used to be due to the resurgence of the Gu mother in his body.
Ye Shu, who has always treated her as a daughter, a sister, and even a pet, has never been too defensive.
Until tonight, the soft touch between his arms was telling him that Changan was no longer the little girl he saved back then. Her true mind and age were already that of a mature woman.
Chang'an noticed his slightly stiff body.
This was the first time he had kicked her out of bed.
Her face looked melancholy and there was water in her eyes.
Seeing that she didn't move, Ye Shu turned his head impatiently and said seriously: "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Chang'an finally moved, but didn't stand up. She stretched out her hand nervously and carefully, and placed it on his waist. She blushed, lowered her head, and slid her little hand down restlessly.
Ye Shu's whole body was shocked, as if he had been bitten by a snake, and his hand suddenly strangled her wrist like an iron cage. The force was so strong that you could hear the sound of bones creaking and rubbing in her body.
It must have been extremely painful. Changan sucked tears from the corners of his eyes, raised his head pitifully, and stubbornly said with his lips: I can do it!
Ye Shu threw her hand away with all his strength, stood up and put on his coat with a livid face, his face was terrifyingly cold: "You can?! What can you do?! I have wasted so much effort to suppress the Gu mother in your body, you
This body is not meant for you to mess up like this!"
Changan hugged him tightly from behind and cried heartbreakingly with a hoarse voice. Her vocal cords had long been torn and her voice was hoarse and not human. She was very sensitive to her own voice and rarely uttered the slightest sound in front of others.
sound.
But now she was crying so hard that she couldn't stop crying.
Ye Shu lowered his head and looked at the two hands tightly locked around his waist. After all these years, he had no idea that she still had this thought.
He pulled his hand away forcefully, turned around and stared at her coldly, his hazy-colored pupils full of coldness, melancholy, hatred, and the boundless gray sky.
Ye Shu coldly sneered: "Do you know who you are sacrificing yourself to! The man in front of you has been locked in a slave cage since he was a child, played with, and transferred around like a domestic animal! Are you pretending to be here?
Don’t you know what kind of pure kindness I am and what kind of virtue I am? There is no clean part of my body. What are you saying to me about such a dirty person?”
After talking about it, his eyes slowly turned red.
Yes, no one knows what he went through better than Chang An.
Even in the Lin Family Marquis Mansion, the dead soldiers and internal guards who had sold their lives to the old Marquis heard all kinds of rumors about Ye Shu in Zhao Kingdom, but no one had ever seen with their own eyes how he ended up in that dirty and stinky place.
Writhing and struggling in the quagmire.
Only Chang'an had seen him in his most embarrassing state.
In the darkness, Ye Shu's eyes were cold and he smiled sarcastically: "I will fight for my own life, I don't need your sympathy."
Outside the wooden house, there were heavy winter thunders, strong winds swept the city with cold rain, and at some point, a heavy rain fell in the clouds.
Ye Shuhan had a cold face and took two steps back. He had already put on his outer robe and clothes. He no longer looked at Chang An's empty and sad eyes, kicked over the bench angrily, opened the door and left in the heavy rain.
On the night of their reunion after many years, they parted ways unhappily.
The next day, the winter rain began to clear, and the sky in the early morning was gray and a bit dead.
The door to the Lin family's Hou Mansion was pushed open with a creak, and the yawning concierge got up early to guard the door.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, he saw Ye Shu leaning against the stone lion statue at the gate with his eyes closed and dozing. His already thin face was as pale as a ghost in the gray morning light.
"Master Ye Shu?" The porter looked shocked. When he lowered his eyes, he saw that he had bare feet and no shoes.
His heart pounded when he saw it, and he hurriedly greeted him: "When did Master Ye Shu come back? You are still wet. Could it be that you stood outside the door all night? Come on, follow me into the house."
It's strange that the Young Marquis left the house early this morning to do some business. If Master Ye Shu had been standing at the door all night, he should have met him. Why was he still waiting at the door like a wandering ghost?
Ye Shu raised his dark black eyes and glanced at the young man. The young man shuddered for no reason and immediately fell silent.
Although Young Master Ye Shu grew up with the young Marquis since childhood, eating and living together, and was clearly the son of a retainer, the old Marquis also raised him as his own son.
But the two children who were raised together had completely different personalities.
In the hearts of these servants, Ye Shu is far less lovable than the young Marquis Lin Zheng. They feel that he always has a sinister and sinister temperament about him that makes people uncomfortable, making it difficult for people to get close to him.
"Did Lin Zheng bring guests back last night?"
This kind of arrogant attitude of calling the young Marquis by his first name also made the young man feel faintly unhappy.
"Reporting to Young Master Ye Shu, at dusk last night, the young Marquis indeed brought someone to stay in the east room. Why is Young Master Ye Shu asking about this?"
Ye Shu ignored the boy, turned around and walked quickly towards the east wing.
"Brother Ye Shu?" Bailian was looking at the topographic map of Yunzhong City left to him by Lin Zheng, making arrangements in advance for entering the dark city, when he heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from far to near in the corridor.
He didn't sleep at night. The door was wide open. When he looked up, he saw a familiar face.
In the demon world, Ye Shu followed Lin Zheng as a follower. The two were almost inseparable. Bailian was not surprised to see Ye Shu in the Hou Mansion.
He glanced at Ye Shu, noticed his disordered energy, and said in slight shock: "Are you injured?"
"A little injury." Ye Shu twitched the corners of his lips, pretending to have greeted him with a smile.
He didn't exchange too many greetings and said directly: "I heard that you are going to the underground city to find the lost demon pet?"
Balian's eyes changed, and he stood up suddenly, looking at Ye Shu eagerly: "Do you have any way to help me enter the dark city?"
Ye Shu closed the door behind his back, was silent for a moment, and said: "If you want to enter the dark city, you can only enter the city with three identities: seller, buyer, and night hunter."
"Night hunter?" Bailian frowned.
Ye Shu breathed out slowly and said: "The night hunters can be said to have a cooperative relationship with the underground dark city. The underground dark city is intricately connected and sells intelligence and secrets from all over the world, as well as shady goods.
Night hunters provide intelligence secrets or goods to the underground dark city as a third party in exchange for generous rewards."
"So?" Bai Lian looked at Ye Shu and vaguely guessed something.
"I am one of the night hunters."
as expected.
Ye Shu took out a red gold token from his arms, put it on the table and said seriously: "I can take you into the dark city."
Balian was stunned and said in a daze: "If I remember correctly, the Lin family and the Dark City forces are incompatible with each other. You..."
"So what?" Ye Shu lowered his eyes, the gray morning color melting into the dark eyes: "I am not from the Lin family."
His surname is Ye, and he is Ye Shu from the Demon Sect. He has never been a member of the Lin family, so naturally he does not have to abide by the Lin family's rules.
Bai Lian looked at him deeply, put down the map in his hand, and finally realized why Ye Shu had taken Lin Zheng out to look for him.
Although the power in the hands of a large marquis family like the Lin family is extremely heavy, it is just like a towering building. Without the older generation of marquises to support such a large family, how can a young man like Lin Zheng be able to support it?
Liveable.
If an innocent and powerful family has no backbone, it will only attract countless evil wolves to surround it. I don’t know how many people are staring at the crown on the head of the young Marquis Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng is a man who sticks to the rules and lives his life like the blazing sun and fire, brilliant and upright. He doesn't disdain to join the others, so it's hard for him to get ahead.
Ye Shu can only act as a hidden sword, cutting through thorns and thorns, using his life to obtain the secrets of various countries, and exchange for rich resources from the dark city.
It is these resources that have built up what Lin Zheng is today.
And everything he did was violating the rules of the Lin clan, and he was destined to get no response.
Bai Lian asked: "Lin Zheng... doesn't know this, does he?"
"We can't let him know this. If he knows, he will drive me out of the Hou's Mansion." At this point, Ye Shu's eyes showed confusion for the first time: "If I leave the Hou's Mansion, I don't know where else to go.
Already."
He carefully hid a secret that could never be discovered, but told Balian without reservation.
Perhaps even Ye Shu himself didn't realize that he didn't know when he developed such a trusting disposition towards Bailian.
Balian could feel the gentle kindness hidden under his sharp and cold exterior, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm: "Thank you, Ye Shu."
Ye Shu had gone through all the hardships and had no longer any expectations for this world. But suddenly, when someone said thank you so solemnly, there was still an unclear feeling in his heart, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
stand up.
He picked up the red gold token again with stiff fingers and rubbed it, looking a little clumsy and pitiful.
Ye Shu lowered his head, not knowing where to put his eyes, so he could only look straight at the token in his hand: "Thank you... thank you for what, you helped me save my mother-in-law, I deserve this, okay
, while Lin Zheng is away, shall we all set off now?"
The entrance to the underground city is difficult to find. Without a special method, even if you turn the entire cloud upside down and dig three feet into the ground, you may not be able to find the real location of the city.
The token in the hand of the night hunter can serve as a guide to lead Balian to the entrance to the dark city.
After leaving Lin Mansion, the two found a remote place, and Ye Shu smeared blood on the token.
The red gold token immediately turned into specks of light and dissipated into a mist of particle light. Surrounded by the mist, a few bells rang, and a bright red sedan appeared in their sight.
The sedan was hovering in the air in the mist, like a phantom. The bearers carrying the sedan were not men, but four graceful women. They were slim and graceful, wearing graceful and sentimental red dance skirts and gauze hats, which gave them a rather exotic feel.
But when the four women turned around and looked at each other at the same time, what was covered by the veil was the face of a decaying skeleton.
This early in the morning, such a scene of the underworld was created...
Bai Lian held his forehead and was speechless. If he hadn't been a dead and cold 'corpse', he might have been suddenly startled.
Ye Shu was obviously used to it: "Get in the sedan, shall we?"
I think Ye Shu worked as a night hunter in the dark city, and he was considered to be of a high level. The sedan chair was quite large and could accommodate four or five people.
Balian got off the sedan with him, and the four pink skeletons did not express any dissatisfaction. They hummed a gloomy ghost song. In the cool morning breeze, the bright red beauty quickly disappeared into the forest.
between.
A long, long time.
Only a deep thud was heard, and the sedan that was floating in the air finally landed on the ground.
The sedan leading to the dark city has no curtains. Once you enter the sedan, the sedan door will appear and be locked. Bailian cannot observe the inside of the outside entering the dark city, although he can detect it with his spiritual sense.
However, the methods of the underground city are too subtle, and the entire space in the sedan is distorted and chaotic. If the spiritual consciousness is released, it will be completely messed up by the space formation in the sedan.
When Bailian and Ye Shu got out of the sedan, the four graceful beauties in pink laughed sweetly and turned into a handful of ashes, dissipating in the wind, and the big red sedan also turned into a token again, named Ye Shu
Haosheng put it away.
Looking around, there is a black ancient bridge ahead. There are countless pedestrians coming and going on the bridge, all wearing masks that hide their faces.
At the end of the bridge, there is a dark underground city with no bounds visible.
Ye Shu also took out the two masks he had prepared in advance and gave them to Balian: "There are some shady activities in the dark city. No one who enters the dark city will reveal their true face. After all,
Every item auctioned there is of great value. No one can guarantee whether someone will catch me and kill me when I leave the dark city. Don't call me by my real name after you enter the city. I call you "Shadow" in the dark city, and so do you.
I haven’t given myself a name for easy identification.”
"Really?" Balian took the mask and put it on, smiled, and said, "After entering the city, you will call me 'A Drop of Blood', right?"
"A drop of blood." Ye Shu frowned. Although he thought the title sounded a bit unlucky, he didn't say much. If you like Long Night Walk, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) Long Night Walk search novel website updates
