Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 44 The Skeleton Man

Xu Zhiqiong really felt that he could effectively concentrate in the Goulan.

For example, by focusing on the dancer's gauze skirt, Xu Zhiqiong can concentrate all his thoughts on his eyes and observe the different characteristics of each movement without distraction.

For example, lifting and floating have different characteristics. The former can better reflect the enthusiasm of the dancers, while the latter can better reflect the naturalness of the dance.

At dawn, after Goulan finished, Xu Zhiqiong stretched himself, ready to go back to catch up on sleep.

A man sitting next to him came over to say hello: "Little brother, you've been sitting here for an entire hour without taking your eyes off and concentrating on it. You should be a person who knows how to dance."

Xu Zhiqiong stared at the man up and down.

This man was wearing a Tsing Yi. He looked to be in his thirties. He was about [-] feet [-] ([-] meters) tall and had a thin build. It was difficult to describe his appearance.

The cheekbones are high, the cheeks are sunken, and the eye sockets are sunken deeper than the cheeks.

The underside of the eye sockets was black and blue, in stark contrast to the sallow face.

Fortunately, I didn't notice him just now, this guy is just a skeleton sick ghost, it's quite scary to meet him at night.

Xu Zhiqiong cupped his fists and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you." He turned to leave, but was stopped by the man again.

"Little brother, I think your temperament matches mine. It's still early. Don't rush away. I'll order another jug ​​of wine. Let's chat here for a while. arrive."

Goulan is divided into day and night shows, like the Peach Blossom Shed in Beiyuan, there are not many customers at night, let alone during the day, so only night shows are held.

But the Wintersweet Shed in Washi, Qiaotou is one of the best big goulan, and the performances of the matinee and night shows are almost uninterrupted.

The skeleton man sincerely invited Xu Zhiqiong to ignore him, and replied: "I've been here for a long time, and I feel bored. I want to go out for a walk, brother."

The skeleton man said in amazement: "You only came on the fifth watch, and you only stayed for more than an hour. Is this considered long?"

Seeing that the skeleton man's eyes were blurred and his expression was sluggish, he didn't expect that he was quite careful. He knew that I came at five o'clock.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "I don't know when did Xiongtai come?"

The skeleton man thought about it for a moment, then said with a dazed expression: "Yesterday, no, it was already dawn, it should be said the day before yesterday."

"The day before yesterday?" Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise, "You have been here for two days?"

The skeleton man smiled: "Two days are nothing. In a good place like Lamei Peng, staying for ten days doesn't feel long. I once stayed here for half a month."

Xu Zhiqiong hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I have other important matters, so I'm taking my leave."

This skeleton man gave Xu Zhiqiong a blow in the face, and if he hangs around places like Goulan for many years, he will become like him!

The skeleton man was still reluctant to part with Xu Zhiqiong: "Little brother, come earlier tonight, I'm still here waiting for you."

You wait, I will never come again.

I, Xu Zhiqiong, am a good man with great ambitions, how can I waste my time in this rotten place?
Back home, Xu Zhiqiong took a nap and began to study his skills carefully.

In order to exert the power of innate skills, one must freely manipulate the mind and the image in a very short period of time, so that the image can be generated in the Ren meridian anytime and anywhere, and the mind can burst out in the Chongmai at will!

Only by practicing the skills to the absolute proficiency, the next time you meet that eunuch, will you be able to fight back.

……

At dusk, the skeleton man found Xu Zhiqiong at the corner of Goulan.

"Little brother, didn't you say that you are still in the original place? Why are you sitting here?"

Xu Zhiqiong laughed dryly and said, "Change to another place and see it better."

He is really not addicted to Gou Lan, he just thinks Gou Lan can help him get rid of distracting thoughts and settle his mind.

The skeleton man laughed and said, "It's not easy to see clearly, follow me to the private room on the second floor."

Xu Zhiqiong waved his hands again and again and said, "No need, little brother will leave after sitting down for a while."

"You don't need to spend money, just be my brother's host, just ask you."

The skeleton man took Xu Zhiqiong up to the second floor and called a private room.

The private room of Lamei Shed is much larger than that of Peach Blossom Shed. There are two reclining chairs in the private room, and there are poufs and desks among the reclining chairs.

The skeleton man ordered two grilled chickens, a jug of wine, and two plates of fresh fruit, and he was very generous.

"Brother, isn't this place nice?"

Xu Zhiqiong was a little embarrassed, and stared at the stage and said, "I can't see it very clearly."

The skeleton man laughed and said, "Isn't it easy to see clearly?"

He called two dancers to come up to accompany the wine.

This brother is too straightforward.

Delicate dancers can dance on their knees, but Xu Zhiqiong feels that the artistic content has dropped a lot. There are many times when they are lifted up, and almost none when they are floated up.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Xu Zhiqiong realized that he could not continue to degenerate, so he found an excuse and went out to the toilet.

Although the Wintersweet Shed is a luxurious fence, it is impossible to have an indoor toilet. Xu Zhiqiong wanted to escape by urinating.

It's not the second watch now, it's the bustling time in Washi, and every house is brightly lit, Xu Zhiqiong dare not stay for a long time, he doesn't have much confidence in his self-control.

After leaving Washi, Xu Zhiqiong took a small road to go home. This small road was very secluded and there were almost no pedestrians.

The more secluded the better, the depraved Xu Zhiqiong seems to have difficulty resisting the temptation of Wang'an River.

When I get home, I have to reflect on myself and see if my own virtue is even a little bit like a big deal.

After walking in the alley for a long time, Xu Zhiqiong stopped.

There seemed to be someone following behind.

The alley was so quiet, that person seemed not far away from him. With Xu Zhiqiong's hearing ability, he should have heard footsteps a long time ago, but that person's footsteps were too light, unlike the sound of a civet cat walking slowly. Not too much.

Is this really the sound of human footsteps?

Xu Zhiqiong turned his head and saw that there was really someone behind him.

The figure was somewhat familiar.

His footsteps did not stop, and when he got closer, he found that his face was even more familiar.

It was a dark and indistinct face.

It's that eighth-rank eunuch!
Xu Zhiqiong's first reaction was to run for his life, but fortunately he calmed down.

Can't run, because he can't run the opponent at all, and exposing his back to the opponent is tantamount to death.

What else can I do instead of running?
Back then, with a lantern in his hand, he could barely deal with the opponent, but now with bare hands, the opponent might kill him in one round.

The situation was critical, but Xu Zhiqiong did not lose his footing. The results of his cultivation in the Goulan should come in handy now.

The image starts from the Ren pulse, and the meaning comes from the Chong pulse.

Xu Zhiqiong controlled his skills, ready to go.

There is only one chance, the moment he touches himself, immediately activate the skill, suck him dry, and kill him.

The eunuch got closer and closer, the distance between the two sides was only more than ten feet, and the man spoke.

"Master Denglang, I have been looking for you very hard."

Xu Zhiqiong looked calm: "Why are you looking for me?"

"I want to ask where my wife is?"

"That's not your wife at all."

"That's my wife. There was a little quarrel between husband and wife, but it caused some misunderstandings."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled: "Don't tell that joke, where did you come from, a eunuch?"

The eunuch's tone changed: "Master Denglang, you have to speak properly."

"Did I say something wrong? Aren't you an eunuch? Take it off and let me test it!"

Enrage him, let him shoot in anger, it will be easier to predict his actions.

The eunuch was really irritated: "Since I don't want to talk properly, I have to use another method to talk to you."

"I'm not in the mood to chat with you. Kidnapping a woman is a capital crime, and attacking a boss is also a capital crime. Eunuch, do you know the crime?"

The eunuch touched the ground with his toes, and was about to rush towards Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong was running his imagery, ready to activate his skills.

At the critical moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Little brother, why did you come here to go to the toilet?"

The voice came from behind the eunuch, the eunuch was startled, and hurriedly turned around, only to see a thin man standing behind.

It's the skeleton man, why is he here?

The skeleton man staggered to Xu Zhiqiong's side, and looked at the eunuch in a blink of an eye: "Who is this person?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "I don't know him either. He doesn't know why he insists on asking me for his wife."

"Are you looking for a lady?" The skeleton man looked at the eunuch, "There are plenty of ladies in Washi, where I know well, and I will accompany you to find them?"

The eunuch took two steps back and said: "It seems that I have admitted to the wrong person, offended, offended."

In the blink of an eye, the eunuch disappeared into the night. Xu Zhiqiong wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a sigh of relief.

Who is this skeleton man?

Xu Zhiqiong and the eunuch were not aware of being able to quietly appear behind the eunuch. It seems that this person is not low in cultivation.

Why is he close to himself?
Is it good intentions or malicious?
Xu Zhiqiong was thinking about it, the skeleton man looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Little brother, didn't you say go to the toilet?"

Xu Zhiqiong pointed at random with his hand back: "The toilet is over there."

The skeleton man smiled and said, "You don't need to go there, there is a toilet in Washi."

Xu Zhiqiong pretended to be surprised and said, "Is there a toilet in Washi?"

"You don't even know this? Come with me, I'll take you there."

Xu Zhiqiong really didn't want to go to Goulan: "Brother, I'm tired, I want to go back and have a rest."

"Where are you going back? Is there a better place than Goulan? Are you tired of watching dances? I'll take you to another place to listen to music."

Xu Zhiqiong declined again and again: "Brother, to tell the truth, I am the lantern man in charge of the yamen, and I have to watch the night tonight."

Knowing that I am the lantern bearer, he must not dare to pester me any more.

Unexpectedly, the skeleton man smiled and said, "Hi Lantern, I'm a friend of your Wu Qianhu, you stay with me tonight, you don't need to watch the night."
