When Shen Yanchu woke up, he saw Liu Ruyan sitting at the table, holding a pen in one hand as if writing, and there were many discarded paper balls at her feet.
"What are you writing?" he asked aloud, coming to stand near her.
These seemingly unorganized strokes of brush and ink look like paintings and calligraphy.
Liu Ruyan lowered her head, staring at the ink painting in a trance.
This was a plot hint she got from Ye Xun. It was a picture of a lying buffalo, with mountains and rivers as its back and water as its four hooves. The meaning was obscure and she really didn't understand it well enough.
"Bian?" Shen Yanchu said coldly.
Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes secretly. Don't think that she doesn't know that he has always wanted to go to Bianjing, and just wants to fool him under any pretense. Do you think she is a fool?
"Ding, the plot prompt has been successfully cracked, and the Dazhou map has been unlocked." The system sounded a prompt.
She stroked her forehead and slapped her face so quickly that people were caught off guard.
"Why Bian?" Liu Ruyan raised her head and asked.
"You stand up and look again." Shen Yanchu turned the rice paper around, "Can you see any difference?"
"It turns out to be a seal character." I thought it would be a landscape painting with a hidden mystery, but it turned out to be just a word.
The mysterious iron box, Bianjing.
She suddenly became enlightened.
As far as she knew, the iron box was made by Gong Shuyu, a craftsman in Bianjing City. There was no key to unlock it, only the nine characters on the iron box could be unlocked.
These nine words can be a sentence, a poem, or words picked up at random. But if it is broken open by force, the mechanism hidden inside will automatically destroy the contents of the box.
Therefore, the murderer wanted to take away the contents of the box, so he went to Bianjing to look for Gongshu Yu.
After Liu Ruyan figured it out, she decided to go to Bianjing City, but before that, she needed an identity that could travel smoothly between countries, and this identity was the magic stick Mingjuezi.
Ming Juezi travels around the world all year round, so it is most suitable to disguise himself as him.
She glanced at Shen Yanchu, who was standing aside, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
Half an hour later.
Liu Ruyan returned to the inn with a bag of clothes. Most of these robes were from the system mall, but Ming Juezi was addicted to alcohol and had to go out to find the purple gold gourd he was wearing.
After Shen Yanchu learned about Liu Ruyan's appearance, he took the pile of robes with a cold face: "It's just this time, it won't happen next time."
"Then what should I wear?" Bai Zhi was very interested.
Liu Ruyan looked him up and down: "You don't need to change your clothes. The reputation of the Medicine Fairy cannot be wasted."
Bai Zhi felt it was a pity.
Liu Ruyan turned around, first put on a black and white Taoist robe, then pulled up her hair and fixed it with a willow hairpin. The next step was to change her appearance.
The so-called disguise means changing the bones as the root and modifying the facial features as the branches.
The little Taoist boy next to Ming Juezi is still young, about thirteen or fourteen years old, and his face is relatively round.
She took out various disguise tools from the box, spread them out, picked up a ball of skin wax, and adjusted the bone structure. When the face shape gradually changed, she carefully modified the facial features until no flaws were visible.
At the same time, the disguise process was broadcast live without reservation. The audience was surprised and commented on the barrage:
"Have you failed your studies today?"
"Eyes: I learned."
"Hand: No, you can't."
"Please give me your address and I'll send you a message."
She was skillful in her technique, and after several transformations, she looked like a Taoist boy. After doing all this, she looked at the closed door opposite.
Could it be that Shen Yanchu was still changing clothes in the room?
Liu Ruyan was puzzled: "Bai Zhi, why do you think he hasn't finished it yet?"
Bai Zhi had just heard the sound of the clock watch not long ago: "It has indeed been a long time."
"I'll go over and take a look." Liu Ruyan packed up her things and ran straight to the opposite side.
The door was ajar and only one push was needed to enter. She walked around a screen and called softly: "Yan Chu——"
Behind the screen, there was a lot of water vapor, and there was a beautiful woman, hidden in the snow, dressed in plain clothes.
When Shen Yan first heard the movement, he looked back in the distance. Through the lingering mist, his eyes seemed to be full of autumn waves. At the right time, a breeze blew through the hall, and the breeze rolled up the snow shirt like flowers blooming and falling.
Liu Ruyan was dumbfounded.
He was actually bathing and changing clothes again. Does this guy have the consciousness of being a northerner and taking a bath every five days?
However, this does not seem to be the important point. The important point is that the devil is slowly walking towards her, with his clothes half open, shoulders half exposed, and a pair of dark and cold eyes.
She immediately turned her face and coughed a few times: "Brother, I'm going out right now."
The clinker Shen Yanchu grabbed her, brought her in front of her, threw a robe over and frowned: "It's hard to wear."
What is difficult to wear?
Liu Ruyan took off the robe covering her face, held it in her hands for a brief inspection, then raised her eyes and explained to him: "This dress is called 'Deluo', it is a Taoist robe with ties inside. It needs to be passed through the waist and then looped back to the chest."
He frowned again, faced her, and slowly raised his arms.
Liu Ruyan regained consciousness, so the devil planned to let her serve and dress him?
"What are you still doing?" the other party urged.
That's all, I still have to rely on his help to get to Bianjing.
Liu Ruyan calmed down and patiently put on the Taoist robe for him.
Shen Yanchu calmly lowered his eyes until she wrapped her arms around her waist, and her warm breath lightly brushed against her chest. The man couldn't help but tremble his eyelashes.
However, Liu Ruyan seemed unaware and hugged him gently, placing her small and round ear beads against his chest, showing a rare kindness and gentleness.
His hands groped back and forth in his clothes, passing the long lace through his waist, then withdrew his fingers and tied a knot on his chest.
Finally, she put on a frost-colored crane cloak, clapped her hands and said, "It's done."
The man standing in front of her at this moment had a tranquil and lofty air.
I still remember that when I first saw him, he looked like a Shura with a ghost face and a black gauze. But now, he has changed into a Taoist robe that has transformed into an immortal, and he looks a little more elegant.
"What are you thinking about?" When Shen Yan saw her distracted for the first time, he came closer slightly, his lips almost touching her temples, and he spoke softly, as if he was asking casually.
"Beauty is so wonderful."
As for food and sex, Liu Ruyan admired the skin endlessly.
Shen Yanchu took a few steps back and looked at the cluster of red light blooming between her eyebrows, which was the "joy" among the seven emotions.
"What are you so happy about?" Shen Yanchu put on a fence to block his face and said coldly, "Go out."
She wasn't upset when someone scolded her, but the joy in her eyebrows soon faded away.
After packing her luggage and walking out of the inn, Bai Zhi had already fed the foal and rushed to the intersection ready to set off.
Liu Ruyan walked towards him and threw a paper bag over: "Here, I bought you the hibiscus cake, take it to the road to eat."
Bai Zhi suddenly smiled, feeling warm in her heart.
"And this Gulouzi." She handed another paper packet to Shen Yanchu, "I saw you eat a lot last time, I guess you like it."
Shen Yanchu took the noodle cake and put it aside casually: "It's just something to satisfy my hunger. I can't say I like it."
She got into the carriage and looked at him, who was sitting quietly beside him. His usually calm face was hidden under a white gauze fence.
"Is it possible that you don't have any preferences at all?"
Shen Yanchu looked calm and shook his head.
Naturally she didn't believe it, and then asked: "What is your favorite accessory?"
Shen Yanchu still shook his head.
"Could he be dressed in white and decorated with black jade?"
Shen Yanchu turned his face and asked as if he didn't understand: "The things that should be used to protect one's body should be pure and simple. Why should I care about it?"
On the contrary, Liu Ruyan felt that what he said was amazing. In this world, no one has any personal preferences.
She shook her head with a look of pity on her face: "If you are born in the world of mortals and have no desires, how are you different from the dead?"
Shen Yanchu took off the fence and lightly touched her eyebrows with his fingertips.
"Life, death, ears, eyes, mouth, and nose are the six desires of human beings. Desires can easily lead to obsessions. Remember to be pure in mind and have few desires."
At that time, the car curtain was rolled up by the wind, and the man was bathed in the glow. Coupled with the crane cloak, he was flying like a luan's wings, and he looked like a master who had become an immortal.
Liu Ruyan looked at him for a long time, then suddenly made a salute with her fingers and bowed to him:
"I am a believer who has met the real Mingjuezi. Please bless me to be promoted and rich, and to marry as many beautiful concubines as flowers and jade!"
Taoist Shen pursed his lips and gave Follower Liu a slap with his finger: "If you dare to speak nonsense again, sit outside."
Liu Ruyan touched his red forehead and gave him a look: "A gentleman talks but never moves."
Shen Yanchu glanced at her: "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth."
She grinned and pointed at herself: "My dear, I call these teeth."
Seeing him curling his fingers and playing again, she immediately covered her face and said angrily: "It is not good for a real person to be so arrogant. Remember to be tolerant and generous, and be pure of desire!"
But Shen Yanchu smiled lightly: "I don't have to be polite to you."
Liu Ruyan was at a loss for words.
This devil is used to being mean, that's all. I'm tolerant and won't argue with this guy.
"Since you like to eat Gulouzi, don't waste it." She had quick eyes and quick hands and planned to take the noodles away from him.
Unexpectedly, before I even touched the noodle cake, someone beat me to it.
"How can we take back what we have given away?" Shen Yanchu squinted his eyes.
"Okay, eat slowly, don't choke!" Seeing him slowly peeling off the outer layer of bamboo paper, Liu Ruyan gritted her teeth and smiled.
