You are ruthless, really helpless

Chapter 33

creak-

The door behind him opened to both sides, and a gust of fragrant wind blew in.

Jiang Li put away his thoughts and walked in.

A scene of extravagance in the Tianya Haijiao building.

Round deep-sea pearls are worn as curtains, hanging in mid-air.The candle flames danced, using mermaid candles that could burn for thousands of years, and tears fell from the candles, exuding a faint fragrance.

Jiang Li stepped into it.

The blanket spread on the ground is soft and delicate, as if walking on clouds. It seems that it should be woven by sharks from the South China Sea, which is rare for an inch.

It was so extravagant that even he couldn't help being amazed when he saw it.

Jiang Li's pupils turned slightly and landed on the wall on one side.

The walls are inlaid with colorful sun and moon shells as decorations, and the candlelight is flickering, radiant and colorful, which is really beautiful.

The people outside were scheming and fighting for a sun and moon shell, but they didn't expect it to be placed so casually in the building.

With such a comparison, people really don't know what to say.

Jiang Li's gaze flicked, the pearl curtain on the front side shook, and a graceful figure walked briskly from behind.

"Two distinguished guests."

The girl was barefoot, with a fairy dress as thin as cicada's wings on her shoulders, and golden gemstone jewelry hanging on her wrists and ankles, full of exotic style.

She leaned slightly, and the jewelry on her body jingled, "Please come with the servant."

Jiang Li glanced at Shen Jiyun calmly, and followed.

Go through the pearl curtain and go all the way to the inner room.

The Boshan furnace placed in the center of the main hall burned quietly, emitting wisps of fragrant mist.

The mist filled the air, lingering around, like a dream.

Jiang Li was already an expert in using incense, so when he sniffed it lightly, he couldn't tell what kind of incense it was.

The girl spoke at the right time: "This is the secret incense of Tianya Haijiaolou. It is made of deep-sea whale bones as the main incense, supplemented with various spices."

Jiang Li half-closed his eyelids, savored it carefully for a while, and praised: "It really is extraordinary."

The girl covered the corners of her lips and smiled lightly: "This is the incense prepared by our landlord. If the distinguished guests like it, you can take it."

Jiang Li's eyelashes flickered, and Zhuangruo inadvertently mentioned: "The landlord?"

The girl nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Li took a look, as if looking for the figure of the landlord.

The girl was undefended, and said bluntly: "The landlord is not on this floor."

Jiang Li chuckled: "I know, your landlord is on the tenth floor, isn't it?"

The girl didn't expect Jiang Li to know this, she was taken aback for a moment: "...Yes." She said softly, "However, when the distinguished guests arrive, the landlord will naturally show up."

Jiang Li asked softly, "When will they all arrive?"

Girl: "Naturally, it's when the landlord thinks that everyone who should arrive has arrived."

Jiang Li's tongue rolled.

This is interesting to say.

It seems that this Tianya Haijiao Tower is full of fog and secrets everywhere, and only the owner has the upper hand.

But come to think of it.

On other people's territory, it is natural to give up three points.

Jiang Li pursed his lips and smiled: "I don't know the girl's name yet?"

The girl stepped through the vermilion arch and spun lightly: "My family's name is Yuniang."

Jiang Li rolled these two words between his lips and teeth: "Yu Niang...a good name."

Yu Niang lowered her head, shyly and timidly: "Thank you for your praise."

Jiang Li chatted with Yuniang with a smile on his face.

With his temperament, if he really wanted to make friends with others, then no one would be able to refuse.

Therefore, before the passage from the veranda to the main hall was finished, Yuniang was already defenseless, and answered whatever was asked.

In Yu Niang's mouth, she is the personal maid of the owner of Tianya Haijiao Tower, and she is in charge of all affairs in the building when the owner retreats on weekdays.

While chatting, there was a sound of silk and bamboo floating in front of them.

Jiang Li thought that he and Shen Jiyun were the first guests to climb up to the tenth floor, but he never thought that when he walked through a veranda, several figures could be vaguely seen.

Jiang Li paused: "Is this also a guest?"

Yu Niang: "Yes, this is the guest who boarded the Tianya Haijiao Tower last time."

Jiang Li: "The last time...wasn't that a hundred years ago?"

Yu Niang nodded: "They lingered in the Tianya Haijiao Tower and didn't want to leave, so the landlord simply let them live."

100 years ago.

This time is neither short nor long.

For mortals, it is enough to turn a beauty into a bone, and the cycle of life and death.

Even a monk, after a hundred years, although his appearance remains the same, his mood will also be a bit older.

Jiang Li looked away.

In a cluster of flowers, several people are sitting or lying down, feeling at ease.

Their faces were ruddy, their expressions were pleasant, and there was no thought in their eyes.

Looking at the spiritual energy flowing around his body, some of them haven't even formed a golden core yet.

The lifespan of those who have not completed the golden core is only 300 years, so mediocre, how can there be no signs of aging after a hundred years?

Yu Niang seemed to see Jiang Li's doubts, and she took the initiative to say: "The landlord likes to be lively, and there are countless treasures in the sea in the Tianya Haijiao Tower, as long as there are visitors in the building, they can be taken and used, and there is no need to disturb the life of the cultivation base. "

There was an inexplicable smile in Jiang Li's eyes: "That's really... a fairyland on earth."

Yu Niang accepted the compliment with a smile.

Jiang Li turned his head and took a look.

Shen Jiyun has been following not far behind, silently, but as long as he turns his head, he can see the white dress.

At this moment, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Jiang Li moved his head, took a step away, came to Shen Jiyun's side, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

Shen Jiyun lowered his eyes and happened to land on Jiang Li's hair.

A little bit of white jade earlobe trembled slightly, following the curvature of the neck downward, like a small fish swimming, flicking its tail, attracting people to go forward.

The thin shoulders leaned forward, and the breath between the lips and teeth was blue, clearly ambiguous.

But it happened that he was ignorant and innocent.

Shen Jiyun's Adam's apple rolled slowly.

Xu was silent for too long, Jiang Li noticed something, raised his eyelids, and bumped into a dark line of sight.

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Li gritted his teeth: "Let's get down to business."

Shen Jiyun's voice was calm: "There's something wrong here."

Jiang Li muttered: "I also know that something is wrong here, so why don't you say it?"

He rolled his eyes and was upset.

The brief whisper ends.

Yu Niang urged from the front: "Guest, hurry up~"

Jiang Li quickly looked away: "Here we come."

With a flick of his cuffs, he strode forward.

Shen Jiyun was the only one left standing on the spot, looking at him for a moment, and then followed.

They came to the group of people.

A young man dressed in red and wearing a jade crown reached out his hand and said hello: "Yu Niang."

Yu Niang responded crisply.

The young man in red said, "You're so busy, why can't you even see anyone?"

Yu Niang said with a smile: "The landlord has invited guests to come to watch the scenery and enjoy the moon. Isn't this busy?"

Judging from the intimate and familiar expressions of the two, it seems that they often joke like this.

A thought flashed across Jiang Li's mind, but he couldn't grasp anything.

The young man in red cast his eyes over: "Oh, these two must be the host's new guests?"

Jiang Li heard the words, took a step forward, and said softly, "Friend Daoist."

It has to be said that Jiang Li's appearance is good, at first glance, it is enough to scare people speechless.

The young man in red stared blankly, his lips parted slightly, and he was stunned.

Then another young man in Tsing Yi suddenly stood up: "Brother Shen?"

Jiang Li's attention was suddenly attracted, he glanced at the young man in Tsing Yi, then turned his head, looking for the "Senior Brother Shen" he was talking about.

Shen Jiyun met the man's eyes and nodded slightly.

The man in Tsing Yi was in a daze for a while: "Senior Brother Shen...haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?"

Compared to the excitement of young people, Shen Jiyun did not have the emotional fluctuations of reuniting with old friends after a long absence, and was still indifferent: "It's okay."

Jiang Li signaled with his eyes: Do you know each other?

Shen Jiyun voice transmission: "If I remember correctly, he should be a disciple of the Taiwang Sect. In my generation, he is ranked 137th, and his name is Li Changshu."

Jiang Li hesitated to speak: "...Your sect is really thriving."

Shen Jiyun: "Not bad."

Shen Jiyun's voice was cold and alienated, and when the sound reached the ear, it stretched out a long line, as if whispering in the ear, making people's neck itchy.

Jiang Li wanted to reach out his hand to touch it, but he raised it halfway, then put it down again.He held back his strangeness, wanting to hear what Li Changshu was saying again.

But Li Changshu's mouth turned upside down, and it was just a few words.

Either "a hundred years have passed all of a sudden", or "I lived a fairy life in Tianya Haijiaolou", and occasionally mentioned how about the old friend of Taiwangzong, and finally said, "It would be great if Senior Brother Shen could stay." .

When he said this, he was full of sincerity, his face was full of consideration for Shen Jiyun, he really thought that Tianya Haijiaolou was a good place to go, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Yuniang didn't stop them from reminiscing about the old days, and stood on one side with a smile.

When it was about the same time, he said, "Okay, there will be time to talk in the future, let me take the two guests to do serious business first, if it is late, the host will blame me."

Li Changshu hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the landlord is going to be angry, Yu Niang, you are busy, you are busy."

With a satisfied smile on his face, he sat back to his original position, drank and rolled dice, feeling very happy.

But if you look carefully, you can find that his eyes are dull, and his expression is slightly in a trance.

Jiang Li glanced at it, but before he could take a closer look, Yuniang stood in the way.

Yu Niang put one hand on her side and squatted down: "You two distinguished guests, please come with me." She smiled again, "If you want to talk about the past, you can talk about it by turning around. After all, the two of you will live in the building for a while day."

Seeing this, Jiang Li pretended not to notice anything, and followed Yuniang away.

He asked: "Live for a while?"

Yu Niang: "That's right. The honored guests come to Tianya Haijiao Tower naturally for the sake of opportunity. To find an opportunity, it must take a while?" She asked back, "Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Jiang Li nodded: "That's true."

Yu Niang chuckled lightly: "It's good that the honored guest knows."

……

The Tianya Haijiao Building looks like a nine-storey building, but inside it is full of caves.

Passing through the Chaoshou corridor, I came to another courtyard.

Yu Niang took out a jade slip from nowhere and held it in her hand: "I don't know the names of the two distinguished guests? I'll register them."

Jiang Li and Shen Jiyun looked at each other, and each gave their names.

A white light flashed on the jade slip, and the two names were written down.

Yu Niang put away the jade slips: "Please stay here for the time being, both of you, and when the time is up, we will go together to find opportunities."

Jiang Li's eyes fell on Yuniang's hand, and seeing the jade slips flickering, I don't know how many names were circulating on it.

This should be the name of the person who has entered the Tianya Haijiao Tower every time it has been recorded for thousands of years.

With a movement of his finger, he wanted to take the jade slip into his hand to have a look, wondering if he could find a record from a hundred years ago on it.

But judging by Yuniang's appearance, this jade slip should be a very important secret and will not be easily shown to others.

Now that he has just arrived at Tianya Haijiaolou, Jiang Li is not sure about the situation, so he can't act rashly, so he can only put his mind away.

"How long will it take?" he asked.

Yuniang: "The minimum is three to five days, and the maximum is more than half a month. Guests don't have to worry about being bored, there are everything you can expect in Tianya Haijiaolou."

Jiang Li: "Have you got everything?"

Yu Niang was sure: "I have everything." She rolled her eyes and cast an ambiguous look, "If the distinguished guests need anything, just come to Yuniang."

Jiang Li pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I want news about Jinghua Shuiyue Tower, do you have it here?"

Yu Niang's expression froze.

Jiang Li: "Didn't you say everything?"

Yu Niang: "..."

She could barely keep the smile on her face.

Everything - but I didn't expect you to ask for this.

What other people want is not gold and silver treasures, but secret books of exercises. Why did you come to this place? Why are the things you want so strange?

Yu Niang reluctantly said: "This...maybe I have to ask the landlord."

Jiang Li nodded in understanding: "Then go ask, I'll wait for your news."

Yu Niang: "Uh..." She decided to try harder, "Apart from this, is there nothing else you want?"

Jiang Li: "Not anymore."

Yu Niang looked at Shen Jiyun, trying to find some desires in him that normal people have.

It is a pity.

Once again she was disappointed.

Shen Jiyun said coldly: "No."

Yuniang suddenly felt that it was difficult, thinking that she might not be able to deal with these two people, so she found an excuse and ran away in a hurry.

Jiang Li watched Yuniang leave before turning around.

Behind, the courtyard is elegant.

There are small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions.

The two courtyards are next to each other, and it seems that they are meant to live in one place.

Jiang Li chose one of them and opened the door.

He thought that Shen Jiyun would follow, but after walking a certain distance, he didn't hear any footsteps.

I glanced out of the corner of my eye.

The gate of the courtyard was empty, and the white clothes had long since disappeared.

Usually followed so closely, but now he disappeared again.

Jiang Li snorted coldly, and a gust of drafts blew past, and the courtyard door was firmly shut with a "bang".

He walked around the yard and stood by the small pond.

In the pond, lotus flowers are blooming, and koi are wagging their tails, leisurely and leisurely.

Jiang Li looked at it for a while, then flicked his fingers, a stone flew across the water, causing ripples.

The koi panicked and swam under the lotus leaf, not daring to poke its head.

He reached out to grab the lotus by the pond again.

pat.

The lotus leaves hit the surface of the pool.

Jiang Li broke off the lotus pod, peeled off Bai Shengsheng's lotus seeds, and stuffed them into his mouth.

The lotus seeds are fresh and tender, even with the lotus heart, they don't look bitter, on the contrary they are sweet and refreshing.

After eating the lotus seeds, Jiang Li felt much better. Looking at the shivering koi, he said to himself, "Don't mess with me again."

I don't know if it's koi or something else.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and was stunned.

I saw a figure standing quietly behind me, I don't know how long I have been here, and how many I saw.

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Li became angry from embarrassment: "Why are you silent?"

Shen Jiyun didn't explain, but raised his hand, and the cuff slipped down, revealing a jade slip in his palm.

It was the one Yuniang was holding before.

Jiang Li took it hesitantly: "How did you get it?"

Shen Jiyun said concisely: "She gave it."

Jiang Li glanced at Shen Jiyun's stern profile, and decided not to ask how it was done.He lowered his head and spread a stream of spiritual energy into it.

The jade slip seems small, but the space inside is endless, and countless traces of numbers flicker and flow, forming a vast ocean.

Jiang Li searched for records from a hundred years ago.

But after searching around, the memory inside was fragmented, and there was no complete record at all.

He withdrew his aura: "This is Ziben."

The real news is still hidden in the mother book.

Jiang Li handed the jade slip back.

Shen Jiyun didn't reach out to pick it up, but his eyes sank, as if he was thinking about something.

Jiang Li: "Huh?"

Shen Jiyun: "I see."

Jiang Li: "What?"

Shen Jiyun said slowly: "I should have entered the Tianya Haijiao Building with Li Changshu."
