Chapter 32 Thirty-second time ghost claw grabbing soul
Seeing Chunjiao pushing the door and coming in, Ranxiang sneered, "You don't have the habit of knocking anyway, it doesn't matter whether you knock or not this time."
Chunjiao didn't dare to look at her at all, and didn't dare to answer her words, she just apologized to Shen Lang with a smile: "The concubine wants to come and see if Mr. Shen has any orders."
Shen Lang said with a smile: "I was just trying to find you."
Chunjiao's expression changed, and she said, "Mr. Shen wants...to find me?"
Shen Lang said: "I trouble you to go to Lanzhou City and buy a batch of the best pearls for me."
Only then did Chunjiao feel relieved, and said with a smile: "This is easy, how much does Mr. Shen want?"
Shen Lang said: "Just buy one million taels."
Chunjiao and Ranxiang couldn't help but lost their voices at the same time: "One million taels?"
Shen Lang smiled and said, "But it's too little...then let's buy 1.3 million taels."
While Ranxiang stayed there, Chunjiao stammered, "1.3 million taels, then... wouldn't that be too much?"
Shen Lang said: "I don't want you to buy ordinary pearls, but the best and largest pearls, each at least as big as a longan core, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy many of them for 1.3 million."
Chunjiao said: "But... but that kind of pearls are probably very difficult to buy."
Shen Lang said with a smile: "As long as you have money, are you afraid you won't be able to buy it?"
Chunjiao took a deep breath and said, "But...but the price..."
Shen Lang said: "No matter how much the price is, it doesn't matter even if it's twice as expensive as the market price, but you have to buy it today, at the latest it won't be too late."
Ran Xiang couldn't help but said: "One hundred and three hundred thousand taels to buy pearls, you... are you crazy? Why do you want so many pearls?"
Shen Lang said with a smile: "Naturally it is useful."
Chunjiao blinked, then suddenly smiled and said, "I see, Mr. Shen is going to give it away?"
Dye Xiang said: "Ah... Could it be for the Happy King?"
Shen Lang said with a smile: "Why do you have to give it to Happy King? Can't it be given to you?"
Chunjiao and Ranxiang looked at each other, they were both stunned.
Shen Lang laughed loudly and said, "Pearls are hard to buy, so hurry up and go."
Chunjiao regained her composure, and said with an apologetic smile, "Yes, I'll go right away, and I'll go in person."
Shen Lang said: "And..."
Chunjiao said, "Young Master, what else do you want?"
Shen Lang said: "Please prepare a few invitations for me, four are enough. Since they have invited us, we have to return them."
Chunjiao clapped her hands and said, "Yes, absolutely right."
Shen Lang said: "It's not too late, it's just tonight."
Chunjiao said: "Then the concubine should hurry up and prepare food and drinks for the young master."
Shen Lang said: "There is no need for food and wine."
Chunjiao was stunned again, and said: "You don't need food and drinks to treat guests, sir... why do you let others eat?"
Shen Lang smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course I have something for them to eat."
A glass of wine, there is only one glass of wine in front of each person.
This is what Shen Lang treats guests to eat.
Yes, the cup was gold, and a very large goblet; and the wine seemed to be good wine.But the treat is only a glass of wine, is this plausible?
Zheng Lanzhou, Long Sihai, Zhou Tianfu, and even the "little overlord" Shi Ming all came, staring at the glass of wine in front of them in a daze.
Where is Jolly King?The Happy King hasn't come yet, so of course he is not small.
Zheng Lanzhou looked at the glass of wine and smiled, neither surprised nor dissatisfied, he seemed to have already seen that there must be tricks in Shen Lang's glass of wine.
Long Sihai was also laughing, but there was some surprise and curiosity in his smile.
Is it true that Shen Lang treats guests with only one glass of wine?Why?
Zhou Tianfu wrinkled his nose and frowned, his eyes kept looking around.He is not waiting for Happy King, he is waiting for food.
The "little overlord" Shi Ming just climbed on the table and used a dozen or so silver coins to build the pagoda.The pagodas were always unfinished, and he couldn't stop sighing.
Ran Xiang was amused in her heart, this little overlord was shocked by last night, and he turned into a good boy, his clothes were neatly dressed, and his hands were washed clean.
That "female overlord" didn't come, could it be that she got sick from fright?
Shen Lang looked at them quietly, the smile on the corner of his mouth was still so chic.
Child time has long passed, and the sky is full of stars outside the window.
"Little Overlord" suddenly said: "Will that prince come?"
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Maybe."
Little Overlord said: "How long do we have to wait?"
Shen Lang smiled and said: "Maybe."
Zhou Tianfu couldn't help but said: "If you don't come again, the dishes inside will probably be cold."
Ran Xiang glanced at him and said with a smile, "It won't be cold."
Zhou Tianfu said, "Oh?"
Ran Xiang smiled and said, "It's just because there is no food at all."
Zhou Tianfu was stunned, and suddenly burst out laughing, pointing at Shen Lang and said with a smile: "I don't want you to be very economical."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "I'll always be economical next time."
Ran Xiang grinned and said, "He's not digging gold mines, so naturally he should save some money..."
His voice suddenly stopped, his smile froze, and he stared at the door.
At some point there were already more people at the door.
The door was high enough, but this man was a head taller than the door.He had already walked to the door, but his head was above the lintel, Ran Xiang could only see his bony body like a bamboo pole, but couldn't see his head.But just seeing this body is enough to make people feel a chill in their hearts.
He was wearing a black and oily leather jacket, which wrapped tightly around his slender body like snakeskin.His whole body is like a poisonous snake, every minute, every inch is lurking immeasurable danger.Although he didn't even move his fingertips, he always seemed to be waiting to choose someone to devour.
His dry, snake-headed hands almost reached his knees, others could only hit him within three feet, but he could hurt someone five feet away.
It was as if he was born to kill people. If he didn't kill people, his life would be meaningless.
Shen Lang got up with a smile, cupped his fists and said: "Qi envoy is here, why don't you come in for a drink?"
The jerky voice said coldly outside the door: "This seat is Dugushang."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "So it's Brother Dugu."
That voice said coldly: "The Dugu family has never had any brothers."
Shen Lang still smiled and said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Dugu, why don't you come in."
Dugushang let out a "hum" and said, "I just want to drink you a cup."
Shen Lang said: "Your Majesty, I don't know when you will come?"
Dugu said sadly: "He was going to come, but a good friend happened to be looking for him tonight. If he wasn't there waiting to dig out that person's heart, that person must be very disappointed."
This kind of murder and heartbreaking is really common in his mouth, but when he hears it in other people's ears, goose bumps can't help appearing on his body.
Shen Lang still smiled and said: "Since the prince has no time to come, it is the same when Mr. Dugu comes."
Dugu Shang hummed again, a golden thread flew out of his sleeve suddenly.Although his head was still outside the door, there seemed to be eyes on his hands.
In a flash, the golden thread caught a wine glass and flew back to his palm.
Dugu Shang drank it all in one gulp, and said coldly: "Good wine."
He raised his palm again, and the golden cup suddenly flew back and landed on the original position, it was exactly the same. The golden cup and the wine weighed at least two catties, and he wrapped it with a soft silk. , is already shocking, but the gold cup can fall back to the original place, this skill is even more difficult.
Everyone saw that he showed his hands, and they couldn't even breathe. They saw the lights flickering, and the light and shadow flowed. They looked at the door again, but there was no one there.
Long Sihai sighed for a long time, and said, "That's amazing!"
Shen Lang smiled and said: "This person's kung fu is probably the best outside the customs."
Long Sihai said: "Number one outside the pass?"
Shen Lang said: "Yes, there are at least three people in the pass who are stronger than him."
Zheng Lanzhou suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Shen was wrong this time."
Shen Lang said: "Oh!"
Zheng Lanzhou said with a smile: "Even outside the pass, he is not number one."
Shen Lang sighed: "I also know that there are many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the desert and grasslands, but I only know that the martial arts masters outside the pass are mostly known for their momentum, but I don't know that there are people with such exquisite kung fu."
Zheng Lanzhou said: "Brother Shen, have you ever heard of 'Ghost Claw Catch Soul'?"
Shen Lang moved his face and said: "Ghost Claw Catch Soul, is it another name for the most mysterious and insidious 'Bone Ghost Palm' among the evil martial arts of outsiders in the world back then?"
Zheng Lanzhou nodded and said: "Exactly, Brother Shen is indeed well-known."
Shen Lang said: "However, the ghosts of the 'Ghost Gate' were exterminated thirty years ago by the hero Shen Tianjun and the head of the Seven Great Sword Sects in the Battle of Yinshan. Customs?"
Zheng Lanzhou sighed: "Brother Shen doesn't know something, although the ghosts and ghosts are all dead, but the secret manual of the 'Ghost Gate' practice has somehow spread outside the pass."
Shen Lang sighed and said: "I don't want to think that there will be such aftermath after the Yinshan battle. If Shen Daxia and the seven masters find out at the Nine Springs, I'm afraid they won't be able to rest in peace."
When he said this, his expression suddenly became very heavy, and this kind of heavy look was rarely seen on Shen Lang's face.
But everyone was attracted by the treacherous and mysterious words "Ghost Gate", and no one noticed the look on his face.
Zheng Lanzhou said: "It is said that thirty years ago, there was a fight for this 'secret manual of ghosts' in martial arts outside the pass, but the strange thing is that this matter is not widely circulated in the world."
He pondered for a while, then continued: "This may be because there were not many people competing for the secret manual at that time, and everyone kept their mouths shut. They only fought in secret and did not leak the news."
Shen Lang said: "Of course these people can't leak the news, otherwise the martial arts in the Central Plains will have countless people rushing to fight for it, and they will be even more unable to get it."
Zheng Lanzhou said: "In addition to this, there is another reason, that is, the people who competed for this secret book at that time were not well-known, so what they did did not attract the attention of others."
Shen Lang nodded and said: "That's right. But no matter who it is, even if his original reputation is not high and his status is not high, after obtaining this 'Ghost Secret Manual', he will be different."
Zheng Lanzhou said: "Exactly."
Shen Lang said: "But I don't know who will get it in the end?"
Zheng Lanzhou said: "It is said that the several families who competed for the secret manual at that time all killed each other in the end, leaving only one girl who cooks, and this 'secret manual of ghosts' naturally fell into the hands of this girl."
Shen Lang sighed, and said: "If those people knew the consequences, they probably wouldn't have killed so vigorously at that time, alas! Why are most people so stupid."
Zheng Lanzhou said: "But later on, this girl didn't master the secret skill of 'Ghost Gate'."
Shen Lang said: "Oh, why?"
Zheng Lanzhou said: "No one knows the truth about this, but according to what I heard from the side, this secret was finally known by a martial arts master."
Shen Lang said: "The secret score was snatched by him?"
Zheng Lanzhou said: "He wants to kill that girl, of course it's just a matter of raising his hands, but that girl also knows that if she has a secret manual, she will be killed, so she hides the secret manual in a secret place again, that girl Even if a martial arts master kills her, he still won't be able to obtain this secret spectrum."
Shen Lang said: "But how could he stop there?"
Zheng Lanzhou said: "Of course he won't give up."
Shen Lang said: "Did he come up with something?"
Zheng Lanzhou said: "This man is so scheming and vicious that he tricked that girl into losing her virginity. He knows that if a girl is willing to give her body to someone, then everything will be given to him."
Shen Lang said: "But with the words 'Ghost Secret Manual', it is exactly what all young practitioners in the world can't forget even in their dreams."
Zheng Lanzhou said: "Who knows that girl is much smarter than he imagined, and she still refuses to take out the secret score. The man waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help it, and gradually revealed his true colors, so the girl became even more refused to give it to him."
Shen Lang said: "I don't think that girl is a smart person."
Zheng Lanzhou smiled and said: "The girl knows that she is not beautiful. Naturally, such a martial arts master will not really like her. Naturally, she is greedy for her secret manual. If she shows the secret manual, even if she does not die, he He will also leave her behind, if she doesn't take it out, she can stay with him for a few more days."
Shen Lang said: "There are many self-absorbed girls in the world, but this girl is an exception. But judging from the situation, this girl loves him very much."
Zheng Lanzhou said: "Not only does she like it, but she is also infatuated. But the more infatuated she is, the more disgusted that person is, and finally resorted to vicious means to force her to take out the secret manual."
He sighed, and continued: "It is said that the methods he used were all horrific and vicious. Later, the girl was tortured by him until she was out of shape, her eyes were blind, her hands and feet were disabled, but she still clenched her teeth. , refused to tell where the secret spectrum was hidden.”
Long Sihai slapped the table suddenly, and said angrily, "Who is this kid, I think I will meet him."
Zheng Lanzhou said: "Who is this person, no one in the world knows, only know that he still didn't get the secret score and went back empty-handed."
Shen Lang said: "How could he let that girl go?"
Zheng Lanzhou said: "It is said that the girl is not an ordinary person. Although she is disabled, she still escaped when he was not paying attention. At that time, he also had an urgent matter and had to rush back to the Central Plains. When he finished his work, That girl no longer knows where she is hiding, and he can no longer find it, he can only die."
Shen Lang sighed and said: "That girl..."
Zheng Lanzhou said: "Naturally, that girl can no longer practice martial arts, but she is already pregnant in her stomach, she gritted her teeth and gave birth to this child."
He sighed and continued: "This child is also the inheritor of ghost secret skills."
Shen Lang moved and said: "Such a child must be full of resentment towards the world. If he can practice this kind of kung fu that is already extremely cruel and vicious, then... then it will be fine."
Zheng Lanzhou sighed: "That's right. It is said that this child has grown up and practiced martial arts, and he has also accepted a group of disciples. Although the old 'ghosts' are dead, today's 'ghosts' are born again. .”
Shen Lang said: "What kind of person is this child?"
Zheng Lanzhou said: "No one in the Jianghu has seen her appearance, but there are many legends about her. According to the legend, she is a beautiful girl like a fairy, but she acts viciously like a devil."
Shen Lang sighed: "If a woman becomes vicious, she will be ten times more vicious than a man."
Ran Xiang curled her lips and said, "That's not because men are not good things."
Zheng Lanzhou said: "On the martial arts road outside the pass, it is only in recent years that I heard the word 'ghost group ghost', but I don't know how many people have fallen into the hands of this 'ghost group ghost', not only their families have been ruined, but also They all died terribly. It is said that this woman eats people's hearts, and every time she kills a person, she takes out that person's heart and eats it. Naturally, all the people she kills are men, and she wants to eat the hearts of men."
Shen Lang smiled wryly and said: "Her mother was fooled by a man, so she naturally hates him to the core."
Ran Xiang suddenly smiled and said, "Shen Lang, I wonder how your heart feels?"
Shen Lang smiled and said: "It must be bitter."
Ranxiang blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Even if it's bitter, I want to taste it... Besides, I'm probably not the only woman who wants to taste what your heart feels like."
Zheng Lanzhou smiled and said: "Young Master Shen is also a fickle man."
Long Sihai laughed loudly and said, "It's also... This 'also' is a good use of the word."
Zheng Lanzhou suddenly suppressed his smile, lowered his voice, and said, "There is another strange thing."
Shen Lang said: "What's the matter?"
Zheng Lanzhou said: "For some reason, this 'ghost group' is specially against Happy King. As long as Happy King's disciples give orders, the heart will be taken away by the 'ghost group'."
Shen Lang was moved and said: "Oh?"
Zheng Lanzhou said: "Listen to the words of that 'Qi Shi' Dugu Shang, Happy King will wait for someone to cut open his heart today, and if he wants to come to Happy King today, I'm afraid it's, it's..."
Ranxiang's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but blurted out: "Could it be the female ghost head of the 'ghost group'?"
Zheng Lanzhou sighed and said, "I hope it's not her..."
Shen Lang said: "But thinking about it, I'm afraid it must be her...is it?"
Zheng Lanzhou said: "Exactly."
After saying this, everyone suddenly felt a little chilly, and sat there blankly, and no one spoke.
After a while, Zhou Tianfu suddenly stood up and said, "When I heard the terrible things, I became hungry, so I have to eat."
Shen Lang smiled and said: "This glass of wine..."
Zhou Tianfu laughed and said, "Since you are saving so much, why not save this glass of wine for you."
Ran Xiang sneered and said, "If you don't drink this glass of wine, I'm afraid you won't be able to drink this kind of wine in your whole life."
Zhou Tianfu laughed wildly: "Even if this glass of wine is golden juice, I, Zhou Tianfu, can drink two or three glasses of wine every day, and I will never frown and call out my distress."
Ran Xiang said coldly: "Golden juice... Huh, this glass of wine is at least three to five hundred times more expensive than golden juice."
Zhou Tianfu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Bragging doesn't cost money anyway."
Dye Xiang said: "Since your Excellency has to talk about money in everything, then I would like to ask your Excellency, do you know how much this glass of wine is worth?"
Zhou Tianfu said: "Does it still cost a hundred taels a cup?"
Ran Xiang sneered and said: "I didn't want to say this at first, but I have to say it to you... This glass of wine is worth one hundred and fifty thousand and three taels."
Zhou Tianfu lost his voice and said, "150,000 taels... Haha, 150,000 taels of silver for a glass of wine, you deceive me that Zhou Tianfu is a bastard? You deceive me that Zhou Tianfu has never drunk wine?"
Dyexiang said: "1.3 million taels of silver. I bought all the pearls. The pearls were ground into powder and dissolved in the wine. A total of eight glasses of wine were dissolved. How much silver does a glass of wine cost? Can you figure out the account?"
Zhou Tianfu was stunned on the spot, staring blankly, panting, "Ten... 150,000... That's right, it's exactly 150,000."
Ran Xiang said coldly: "I have to add three taels of wine money."
Zhou Tianfu said: "No... that's right, one hundred and fifty thousand and three taels."
He looked left and right at the glass of wine, with a respectful expression on his face, until he saw that there was a cup of tea, and finally picked up the glass and poured it into his stomach with all his might.
The only thing this kind of person respects is silver. Apart from silver, even his ancestors are not good, let alone anyone else.
Long Sihai laughed loudly, and said: "Next time I want to treat Brother Zhou to dinner, just pile up the silver on the table, as long as he looks at the silver, it doesn't matter whether he eats or not."
Suddenly he patted the table again, lowered his face, and said with a sneer, "But I would rather invite a dog to eat my meal than invite such a person."
Zhou Tianfu put down his glass, and said angrily, "What are you talking about...others are afraid of you, a rascal, but I am not afraid of you."
Long Sihai said sharply: "Okay, get out!"
He suddenly stood up, Zhou Tianfu's face was as red as a pig's liver.
At this moment, a whistling sound was heard suddenly.
The whistling sound was sharp, shrill, and strange.I don't know what made it, but it is definitely not a human being, and a human being will never make such a whistling sound.
The whistling sound was still far away, but when the sound came into my ears, it was already approaching, and it came so fast that it was unbelievably fast.
This will never be a human being, and a human being will never have such a fast speed.
So what exactly is that sound?
It's ghost cry!
As soon as the voice hit their ears, everyone felt a chill rising from their backs, and their hands and feet were immediately cold. Zhou Tianfu sat down with a "poof", and his face had no trace of blood.
Only one howl turned into two, and two turned into four...
In the blink of an eye, howling sounded everywhere.
The howling sound fluttered and flowed, front and back, left and right, and the world was immediately filled with this shrill and sharp howling sound, and no other sound could be heard.
Zhou Tianfu was trembling, wishing he could get under the table immediately.
Zheng Lanzhou and Long Sihai couldn't help but change their colors.
Ran Xiang tremblingly said: "Ghost...ghost ghost..."
Shen Lang suddenly stood up and walked out.
Ran Xiang exclaimed in shock: "Shen Lang, you...you can't go out."
Shen Lang didn't turn his head back, and said with a smile: "My heart is going to be eaten by someone anyway, it might as well be eaten by that ghost girl."
Will-o'-the-wisps, the garden in the middle of the night is already full of little will-o'-the-wisps.
The pale blue will-o'-the-wisps, like thousands of shooting stars, flickered past in the darkness, and the quiet garden suddenly became indescribably eerie, mysterious and terrifying.
Shen Lang strode out.
Suddenly, a bit of will-o'-the-wisp flew towards us with that terrible whistling sound.
Shen Lang stretched out the sleeves of his robe and put the will-o'-the-wisp into his sleeves, but he saw that it was just a whistle made of thin copper sheet, which was thrown with a heavy hand, breaking through the wind and making a whistling sound.
As for the will-o'-the-wisp, it's just a little bit of green phosphorus.
Shen Lang smiled slightly, threw it away, and said with a smile: "The tricks of ghosts and ghosts are nothing more than this."
Without stopping at all, he walked straight towards "Zui Bixuan".
"Zuibixuan" is also dark, only in the corridor, on the low table, there is a solitary lamp, and a man in yellow with his clothes open is drinking wine under the lamp.
Facing the sky full of will-o'-the-wisps, he still had such a relaxed expression.
These tens of thousands of mysterious and gloomy ghost fires seem to be nothing more than fireworks specially released by the ghost group for him to drink.
Shen Lang looked over from a distance, and vaguely saw him with broad forehead and high head, face as white as jade, and a long beard under his chin, bright and neat, like satin.
Shen Lang couldn't help taking a breath, he finally saw Happy King, the most mysterious and vicious legendary figure in the martial arts world for decades.
I saw the Happy King hung up his beard with two gold hooks near his ears, peeled off a crab roe, chewed it in his mouth, and drank it down with a full glass of wine.
Then, he put down the wine glass, sighed contentedly, suddenly faced Shen Lang's hiding place, smiled brightly, raised his glass and laughed loudly: "Your Excellency is already here, why don't you come and have a drink with me."
Shen Lang secretly said: "This person has such sensitive eyes and ears."
But with a slight smile in his mouth, he said, "The waves are sinking."
Happy Wang said: "Oh, so it's Mr. Shen."
Shen Lang strode out, and saluted with a smile: "The sky is full of will-o'-the-wisps, toasting alone, the prince's elegance is really not shallow."
Happy Wang Lang laughed loudly and said: "The sky is full of will-o'-the-wisps, Mr. Shen actually came out to hang out, you really have a lot of elegance."
Shen Lang smiled and said: "Since I can't invite the prince, I can only ask for advice."
Joyful Wang Zhang laughed loudly and said: "This king is feeling bored by himself, and Mr. Shen is here to accompany him. That would be the best thing. Please, please, please sit down."
Shen Lang said: "Thank you."
At this time, he had seen the Happy King's face more clearly.
I saw his long eyebrows like lying silkworms, his eyes were slender and long, his slightly drooping eyebrows were twinkling, with a tall and fleshy aquiline nose in the middle, which symbolized incomparable authority, deep mind, and It symbolizes his incomparable and exuberant energy.
Shen Lang couldn't see Happy King's mouth, but only saw his beard that was parted in the middle and hung by a golden hook, it was really well-groomed and neat, without any mess.
The closer Shen Lang got, the more sensitive he was to his domineering aura.Although he was dressed casually, he naturally had an irresistible air of a king.
The Happy King was also looking at Shen Lang, his eyes became brighter.
There are many handsome and handsome men under his seat, but compared with Shen Lang, those people are at best the best of men, but Shen Lang is the dragon and phoenix of men.
There is a golden silk futon beside the low table, I don't know if it was prepared for the ghost girl; there is also an empty wine glass on the low table.
However, Shen Lang sat down on his own, poured a glass of wine, and said: "I have heard for a long time that the wine in the prince's cup is the best in the world, so let me toast to the prince first." He raised his glass and drank it, and said in a broken voice: "It really is a good wine. "
Happy King washed his fingers in the golden basin, and said with a smile, "Although this wine is good, how can it compare to the millionaire's pearl wine?"
He stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "But the crab is not bad, you don't have to be polite, just do it... This crab must be peeled and eaten by yourself to have a taste. If you have to peel it well, it will be tasteless."
Shen Lang said with a smile: "My lord is not only good at eating, but also knows how to eat. If you enjoy this kind of food, ordinary people who become rich like that can't really learn it."
The Happy King suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, the laughter shook the roof tiles, and the leaves fell in the distance, but Shen Lang didn't even splash a drop from the wine glass, just smiled and said: "Why did the prince suddenly laugh?"
Happy King laughed wildly and said: "People in the world today, who doesn't know that Shen Lang is the strong enemy of my Happy King, but Shen Lang, you dare to sit and drink with this king at this moment, and you praise me all the time, teach me to listen to you!" In my ears, why don't you laugh...haha, why don't you laugh!"
Shen Lang didn't change his face, and suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.
The two laughed at the same time, the wine glass on the table shattered into pieces with a bang, and the wine in the glass spilled all over the floor.
Happy King couldn't help but stop laughing, and said, "Why is Mr. Shen laughing all of a sudden?"
Shen Lang laughed loudly and said: "People in the world today, who doesn't know that Happy King has eyes and ears all over the world, but who knows that Happy King can't even investigate about Shen Lang, but he taught me how not to laugh...haha, how Do not laugh?"
Happy King said sharply: "If you think that this king doesn't know your details, you are wrong."
Shen Lang said with a smile: "My lord knows what's going on..."
Suddenly, with a sound of "Chi", a short arrow with a green phosphorous will-o'-the-wisp flew through the air, coming quickly, like a shock.
However, Shen Lang took his time and picked up the chopsticks and gently squeezed it.He didn't seem to be moving fast, but the green phosphorus arrow was caught in his chopsticks.
He didn't even look at it, just threw it away, and said with a casual smile: "Does the lord know where my hometown is? How about my background?"
Happy Wang said: "I don't know."
Shen Lang said with a smile: "My lord, do you know what sect and school my martial arts come from? Who taught me?"
Happy Wang said: "Humph."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Hmph, do you know? Or don't you know?"
Happy King raised his head and took a drink, saying, "I don't know."
Shen Lang also raised his wine glass and said, "Does the lord know if I have brothers? Do I have friends? Do I have enemies?"
Happy King said loudly, "I don't know."
Shen Lang smiled, and said slowly: "Does the lord know if my real name is Shen Lang?"
Happy King was startled, and said: "I don't know, I still don't know."
Shen Lang laughed loudly and said: "The lord doesn't know anything else, even if I can't be sure of my name, how can I say I know the details of my life?"
Happy King frowned and said, "But..."
Shen Lang didn't let him speak at all, and smiled again: "If the prince doesn't even know the details of his subordinates, how can he know that he is the powerful enemy of the prince?"
Happy King said sharply: "Everyone in the world knows about it."
Shen Lang said: "The rumors in the rivers and lakes are not enough to believe?"
Happy king said: "What ten people say may be false, but what a thousand people say must be true. Why doesn't this king believe it?"
Shen Lang smiled slightly, and said: "Since that's the case, what did the people in the world say? What did the prince hear? You might as well tell me now."
The Happy King smiled and clapped his hands.
The applause suddenly rang out, and the Dugu wound had come out.With Shen Lang's hearing and eyesight, he didn't realize that this person had been hiding in the dark behind him.
Shen Lang said with a smile: "Brother Dugu and the prince are inseparable in human nature, this statement is indeed true."
Dugushang hummed, and put a bunch of yellow scrolls on the table.
Happy King laughed and said: "I don't know, you have been spying on me for a long time, and even investigated my daily life clearly, but how can you escape my eyes and ears in every move you wait for?" .”
He laughed loudly and took out three yellow papers from the bundle, and threw them in front of Shen Lang, saying: "Look for yourself."
These three pieces of paper actually wrote about the recent whereabouts of Panda Er, Zhu Qiqi and Shen Lang, how Shen Lang met Zhu Qiqi in Renyi Village, how the two broke into the ancient tomb of the dead city, How the fire boy disappeared mysteriously, how the two became friends with the panda...these things are clearly recorded.
Naturally, Wang Lianhua was mentioned in these three papers, and the matter of how Wang Lianhua and Shen Lang were intrigued was also clearly investigated.
After Shen Lang finished reading, although his face remained calm, he couldn't help being shocked in his heart, because some of these things would never be known to anyone except the three of them, especially when the three of them talked about it in private. Shen Lang really couldn't think of how Happy King would know what he said.
Unless there is a spy among the three of them?
Who would that be?
Is it a panda?That's impossible!
Panda'er would never be such a person, not to mention that he had no chance to communicate secretly with Happy King at all, and his actions never escaped Shen Lang's eyes and ears.
Is it Zhu Qiqi?It is absolutely impossible.
Zhu Qiqi would never be such a person, she came from a wealthy family, so she would never have anything to do with Happy King.
What's more, if she is such a person, how could she fall into the hands of the "envoy" of King Happy's subordinates, and how could she suffer from that torture!
If it was said that the two of them would be spies, Shen Lang would not believe it even if he died.
But apart from the two of them, there was only Shen Lang himself.
So, could Shen Lang himself still be his own spy?
Shen Lang really couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure it out, he could only secretly smile bitterly, and slowly put the three pieces of paper on the table.These three thin sheets of paper seemed to have suddenly become very heavy.
Happy King stared at him and said, "Is there any falsehood in what is written on the paper?"
Shen Lang pondered and smiled and said: "Whether it is true or not, the prince himself is not sure yet."
Happy King stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Since that's the case, what else do you have to say?"
Shen Lang smiled faintly, and said: "There is only one inaccuracy in what is written on the paper."
Happy Wang said: "Oh! Where is it?"
Shen Lang said: "This paper describes Shen Lang's character very well."
Happy King laughed and said, "Why are you humbled?"
Shen Lang said: "This paper actually writes Shen Lang as a hero who is benevolent and righteous, public and selfless, but Shen Lang is actually just a selfish villain."
Happy King laughed and said: "People do not think for themselves, heaven and earth destroy. Even heroes and chivalrous men sometimes have plans for themselves. Throughout the ages, there is no one who does not plan for himself at all, unless he is a lunatic, an idiot."
Shen Lang smiled and said: "Exactly. The world is busy, and no one can escape the word fame and wealth. Even if it is the most holy teacher, he travels around the world, just to choose a master so that he can be useful That's all."
Happy Wang Zhang laughed and said: "Such a high opinion deserves a toast from my king."
The will-o'-the-wisps in all directions are getting denser and the howling sounds are getting louder and louder. The unpredictable crisis is obviously imminent, but the two still laugh and toast, as if no one else is around.
Although the will-o'-the-wisps all around are gloomy and the whistling sounds are horrific, the two only feel that each other's sharpness is indeed more terrifying than the will-o'-the-wisps and the howling sounds.
Dugushang suddenly reprimanded softly: "I hate it."
He picked up a handful of crab shells from the table, rubbed them, and threw them out, only to hear dozens of gusts of wind passing by, followed by a series of "ding ding" sounds.
There was a ghostly fire in front of my eyes, and it fell like a rain of fireflies.
But the will-o'-the-wisps are really too dense, and the empty spaces are filled up in the blink of an eye.
Holding the cup in his hand, Shen Lang said with a smile: "This ghost fire is really disturbing people's conversation, staying here will also help brother Dugu."
After taking a sip of the wine, he suddenly sprayed it out, and a sip of the wine turned into silver mist all over the sky, and the silver mist gushed out, engulfing all the will-o'-the-wisps at once.
Dugu said coldly: "Good qigong."
Happy King smiled and said: "One step is the only master of martial arts that this king has seen in recent years. Now this king is in front of one step, why don't you make a move?"
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Why do you want to do it?"
Happy King said with a smile: "It's better to strike first, don't you know this sentence?"
Shen Lang laughed loudly and said: "Whether I am an enemy or a friend with the prince, does the prince not know?"
Joyful Wang said: "Whether it's an enemy or a friend, this king just thinks..."
Suddenly, dozens of people in the distance laughed at the same time and said: "Happy King, life is not long, and it will be dead before the light of day." The laughter was shrill, and the singing was intermittent, like a group of ghosts calling at night.
The happy king laughed loudly, "The happy king has the longest life, and the ghosts must die."
The laughter was high and the singing was strong, word by word spread far away.
The singing stopped, and dozens of figures appeared in the sky full of ghost fires.
The figures of Bi Phosphorus, everyone also has a green light on their bodies!The figures flicker and float in the will-o'-the-wisps, as if the gate of hell opens and a group of ghosts appear at night.
The singing sounded again: "The gates of hell have been opened, the ghosts will refine the green fire, and the fire will refine the happy king!"
During the singing, dozens of people raised their hands together and the wind suddenly rose, and thousands of will-o'-the-wisps rushed over like waves along with the skin-piercing wind.
Happy Wang An couldn't sit still, and said with a smile, "Where is Dugu?"
Dugushang shook his arms, his clothes fluttered.
Shen Lang said with a long smile: "It's just a will-o'-the-wisp, what's the point?"
He opened his mouth and sucked in the whole pot of wine, and shouted, "Duh."
Thousands of dots of silver rain flew out with the sound of "duh".
The silver rain turned into silver mist, and the silver mist engulfed the will-o'-the-wisps.
The sky was full of will-o'-the-wisps, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Joyful Wang Zhang laughed and said: "Ghosts and ghosts, they can't drink alcohol."
After saying a word, the will-o'-the-wisps rushed forward again, but they just danced around in the corridor, and those green figures only danced and flickered in the distance, and they didn't dare to use their palms to urge the will-o'-the-wisps back.
Shen Lang smiled slightly and said: "Ghost sect martial art is really unique, not only the lightness kung fu and body skills are like ghosts, but even the palm wind has a ghostly aura!"
Happy King sneered and said: "The martial arts of the ghost gate, these people may not be able to practice 10% out of 100, dozens of people's palm strength gathered together, I'm afraid they can't stop Mr. Shen's palm."
Shen Lang said: "That's not necessarily the case. I just took advantage of the smell of alcohol. In terms of real skills, how can I compare to brother Dugu's profundity."
Dugu said coldly: "You and I always have to compare."
Shen Lang said with a smile: "It's not necessarily... You and I are friends or enemies, and it's still between the prince's thoughts..."
Dugushang's eyes flickered, and he said, "Whether it's a friend or an enemy, can the prince decide?"
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Naturally."
The word "natural" came out, and suddenly there was a long roar, and a strong wind swept out from the place where the sleeves of his robe fluttered, but Shen Lang sat down as if nothing had happened.
独孤伤冷笑道：“你莫非是想露手武功给我瞧瞧？”
沈浪笑道：“在下不敢。”
独孤伤沉声道：“你又为何……”
话声未了，沈浪方才发出的袖风已消失，地上却响起了一片轻微的“叮叮”之声，若非这三人的耳力根本难以听见。
独孤伤面色变了变，住口不语。
快活王却笑道：“幽灵门这一手'无影鬼羽'的功夫，端的是人所难防，若非沈公子耳目超人，本王此刻只怕也难安坐这里。”
沈浪道：“如此雕虫小技，怎值得王爷亲自出手。在下蒙王爷赐酒，若还不能为王爷效此微劳，就真的要无颜坐在这里了。”
快活王道：“你为何要为本王出手？”
沈浪道：“只因……”
突听远处一声尖锐凄厉的长啸。
数十条碧磷鬼影，突然一齐冲了过来。
当先两条人影，来势如箭，带着一连串格格的诡笑扑上回廊，他们的面上也涂满碧磷，闪闪发光，使人根本无法分辨面目。他们的长发披散，随风飞舞，在暗夜中看来当真比活鬼还要怕人。
两人手中，一个拿着柄碧光闪闪的短叉，叉头闪动，叉环“叮叮”作响，响声也足慑人魂魄。
另一人手中却拿着柄碧剑，叉剑却长不过一尺。
这“幽灵群鬼”竟敢用如此短的兵刃，自然另有一种奇诡的招式，这招法必定险绝天下。
叉环响处，碧磷叉隔空直刺快活王。
沈浪微笑道：“王爷还请安坐……”
挥手处，那“幽灵碧鬼”已被震得惨嗥飞出，但碧磷剑则已到了沈浪耳边，沈浪筷子一伸，竟将那柄剑夹住。
这“幽灵碧鬼”纵然用尽了生平之力，竟也挣之不脱。
沈浪笑道：“螃蟹味美，足下可要尝尝？”
左手取起了个巨螯，闪电般夹着这活鬼的鼻子，只听一声惨呼，他已双手掩面，连滚带爬，如飞逃走。
沈浪的筷子还夹住那柄碧磷剑，又自道：“幽灵鬼物，在下不取，还给你们吧。”
语声中筷子一抖，碧磷剑如急箭离弦，飞了出去。
“幽灵群鬼”中，正有一人扑来，忽见碧光已在眼前，心胆皆丧，倒翻而出，碧磷剑却已插入他肩上。
霎时之间，沈浪谈笑自若，已重创三人，“幽灵门”险绝天下的身法招式，在沈浪面前，竟直如儿戏。
“幽灵群鬼”虽仍在回廊前舞跃诡笑，但已无一人再敢扑过来，诡谲的笑声，也像是有些发抖。
快活王凝注着沈浪，大笑道：“好！果然好得很。”
沈浪道：“王爷过奖了。”
快活王笑道：“你本来是想取本王性命的，此刻却屡次为本王出手；你本对本王到处辱骂，此刻却如此恭敬……”
面色突然一沉，厉喝道：“你如此做法，究竟为着什么？”
沈浪微笑道：“王爷难道不知？”
快活王道：“你究竟存着什么阴谋，本王确想听听。”
沈浪缓缓道：“在下本无阴谋，只是……”
突然，五条人影，一齐扑了过来。
刀、叉、剑、棍、鞭，五件碧光闪闪的兵刃，前后左右，一齐击向沈浪，不但招式奇诡，出手更是狠毒。
独孤伤虽然站在沈浪身后，竟是袖手不动。
沈浪长袖一层，卷住了碧磷刀，使刀的人被他力量一引，身子不由自主，撞向使剑的人身上，两人一齐跌倒。
使叉的人叉尖直戳沈浪双目，突听“当”的一声，他叉尖不知怎的，竟刺入了个酒杯里，嘴里却被塞入了个小碟子，身子也砰的倒在装鱼的盘子里，沈浪却以筷子点住了他的头，笑道：“王爷请尝尝这条活鱼滋味如何？”
使棍的人瞧见这情况，怔了怔，狂吼一声，一棍击下，击向沈浪的头，哪知沈浪忽然间移开了三尺。
他这一棍，竟击在鞭上，“当”的，棍也落地，鞭也落地，两个人但觉肋下一麻，同时倒了下去。
沈浪举手投足间，竟又击倒五人。
这几手看来虽然轻描淡写，其实部位之拿捏，出手之疾、准，俱已妙到毫巅，正是沈浪一身武功之精华。
快活王却冷笑道：“你如此卖力，想来也是要本王瞧瞧的。”
那使剑的人已自爬起，一剑刺来。
沈浪笑道：“正是要王爷瞧瞧的。”
一句说完，已将那使剑人的头，按在盘子里，现在，桌子上不但多了条“活鱼”，也更多了个“虾球”。
“幽灵群鬼”舞跃更急，啸声更厉，但却在渐渐退后了，沈浪这样的武功，他们委实连瞧都没有瞧见过。
沈浪微微一笑，缓缓道：“禽择良木，人投名主，在下流浪江湖，要创出一番事业，也不能独力行事，此意王爷，想来是不会不知道的。”
快活王目光闪动，道：“你难道是要来投靠于我？”
Shen Lang said: "Exactly."
手掌一松，被他按住的两个人，抱头鼠窜而去。
快活王精神却已完全投注在沈浪身上，别的人他连瞧也不瞧一眼，厉声道：“但你昔日……”
沈浪微笑截口道：“江湖流浪人，行事本为其主，合则留，不合则去，在下昔日虽曾为'仁义庄'效力，但今日却已非昔日。”
快活王道：“今日你意如何？”
沈浪敛去笑容，正色道：“仁义庄已老迈，已非身怀雄心大志之人久留之地，而放眼当今天下，除了仁义庄外，还有谁能收留沈浪这样的人？”
他傲然一笑，接道：“还有谁有资格收容沈浪这样的人？”
快活王纵声长笑道：“自然只有本王。”
沈浪道：“这就是了，汉王可容韩信，足下何不能容沈浪。”
快活王笑声突顿，耸然动容，大喝道：“沈浪，你可是真有此意？”
沈浪道：“若无此意，为何来此？”
快活王目光凝注着他，久久不眨。
沈浪也回眼凝注着他。
两人目光之中，渐渐有了笑意。
独孤伤突然大声道：“此人心怀叵测，万万容不得他的。”
快活王头也不回，喝道：“滚！”
独孤伤身子一震，面色大变，这一声“滚”，当真是他从未听过的。他手脚都起了颤抖，终于黯然垂首，悄悄地退下。
快活王也不理他，一字字道：“沈浪呀沈浪，你若真有此意，实在是你之好运，亦为本王之福。本王得你为助，实亦如虎添翼。”
沈浪道：“多谢。”
快活王突又厉声道：“但你此意若假，只怕……”
突然间，远处又传来一声异啸。
啸声起处，舞跃诡笑的“幽灵群鬼”，突然跳跃呼啸而去，满天鬼火，也突然消失无影。
天地间，立刻恢复静寂了，方才还是阴森诡异的鬼域，一眨眼间，又变成了幽静美丽的园林。
月色，又复映照着大地。
微风吹动，树影婆娑，若非还有两个被沈浪点住穴道的碧衣人躺在那里，真令人几疑方才所发生的一切，只不过是场噩梦。
沈浪笑道：“这些人来得虽快，去得倒也不慢。”
快活王道：“方才来的，只不过是'幽灵门'下的小鬼，前来试探虚实而已，真正厉害的角色，要到此刻才会来的。”
沈浪道：“闻得那'幽灵鬼女'，非同小可。”
快活王朗声笑道：“她纵有通天的本事，有你我两人在这里，又能如何？”
能被快活王这样的人物许为同侪，就连沈浪心里也不禁起了一种异样的感觉，他微微笑道：“在下之意是真是假，王爷此刻想必已知。”
快活王捋须而笑，道：“无论你此意是真是假，本王都已在所不计。你这样的人才，是值得本王冒险试一试的。”
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Thank you."
快活王突又道：“闻得中原武林中，有个王怜花，也是个角色。”
沈浪叹道：“此人心计之狡毒，手段之狠辣，当今天下，委实无人能出其右，尤其行踪诡秘，来去飘忽，易容巧妙，更令人防不胜防。”
快活王道：“他与你相较又如何？”
沈浪道：“我若与他生死相搏，实不知鹿死谁手。”
快活王动容笑道：“哦！今日之江湖，除了你之外，居然还有这样少年！他的身世又如何，武功是何人传授？”
沈浪道：“这个……”
忽然一笑，接道：“王爷可知道当今天下，身世最诡秘的三个是谁？”
快活王道：“不知。”
沈浪缓缓道：“一个是沈浪，一个便是王怜花。”
快活王道：“还有一个？”
沈浪笑道：“还有一个便是王爷阁下。”
快活王纵声笑道：“不错，果然不错，你我之身世来历江湖中的确无人知晓。不想除了你我之外，还有个王怜花。”
过了半晌，突又大笑道：“幸好你们两人是敌非友，否则你们两人若是联手，本王只怕也得要退避三舍，瞧你们称雄天下了。”
沈浪亦自笑道：“幸好他未被王爷所用，否则王爷只怕也容不得沈浪了。”
快活王道：“只是不知那'幽灵鬼女'又是何许人物？她年纪想起来也不会太大，本王真想瞧瞧她究竟有什么惊人的手段，竟能统驭幽灵群鬼。”
语声突顿，目光移向远方。
沈浪缓缓道：“王爷不必再等，她已来了。”
黑暗的院中，突然有了灯光。
十六个身披白纱，云鬓高髻的少女，挑着宫灯，穿过月色浸浴的园林，婀娜地走了过来。
她们的步履轻灵，风姿婉约，环绊在风中轻鸣，轻纱在风中飘舞，她们竟像并非来自人间，而是来自天上。
方才来的是地狱中的恶魔，此刻来的却是天上的仙子，这又是多么大的变化，这变化又是多么可喜。
快活王优美的手，优美地轻捋长髯，笑道：“幽灵门来的都是如此人物，本王倒欢迎得很。”
十六盏粉纱宫灯，发出了嫣红的灯光。
两个身穿七色锦缎长裤，头戴缀珠七色高冠，却精赤着上身，露出了铁一般胸膛的八尺大汉，抬着顶小轿，走在宫灯间。
沈浪微笑道：“轿中的想来必定就是'幽灵鬼女'，她的气派倒不小。”
快活王道：“她的胆子也不小。”
十六个少女走到近前，裣衽为礼，一字排开。
大汉驻足停轿，轿子后原来还跟着个宫装少女，此刻碎步走到前面，掀开了轿帘，盈盈拜倒，道：“宫主请下轿。”
一个女子的语声自轿里传了出来，轻轻道：“快活王可是在这里么？”
沈浪只道这“幽灵门”掌门人的声响，必定也是阴森诡异，令人悚栗，哪知此刻这语声却是柔美娇媚，使人销魂。
但他仍然声色不动，只是静静地瞧着。
快活王自然更沉得住气。
只听那宫装少女道：“快活王是在这里。”
轿中人道：“他为何不来迎接于我？”
那少女眼波流动，娇笑道：“他只怕已喝醉了。”
轿中人道：“酒醉之人，不可理论，既是如此，咱们就走吧，等他清醒，咱们再来也不迟。”
那少女道：“是……”
到了这时，快活王终于忍不住喝道：“既然来了，还是留下为佳。”
轿中人道：“你没有醉？”
快活王道：“本王千斗不醉。”
轿中人道：“既然未醉，为何不来迎接于我？”
快活王纵声长笑道：“你小女子，还要本王迎接于你，也不怕折了福分？”
轿中人冷冷道：“我乃一派掌门，你前来迎接于我，也不会有失你的身份。”
那少女娇笑道：“是呀，有些人要来迎接咱们宫主还不配哩。”
快活王笑道：“你乃宫主，我却是王爷，世上焉有王爷迎接宫主之理。”
那少女咯咯笑道：“但你这王爷是假的。”
快活王见少女说他这个王是假的，不由笑道：“你那宫主难道是真的吗？”
轿中突然发出了银铃般的笑声，道：“我只知道快活王必定阴鸷严酷，哪知却是如此风趣。王爷与宫主既然都是假的，宫主自当参拜王爷。”
沈浪越听越觉这语声委实熟悉已极，却又偏偏想不起是什么人来。若说“幽灵鬼女”没有和他说过话，这种温柔妩媚的语声，他是万万不会听错的。
幽灵宫主已在笑声中下轿，果然是个少女，绝色的少女。她身上非但瞧不出丝毫鬼气，看来简直是个仙女。
她身上虽穿着层层轻纱，但却更衬得她体态窈窕，风姿绰约。她面上虽也蒙着轻纱，但别人根本不必真的瞧见她面目，也可想像到必是天香国色。
有风吹过，轻纱飞舞。
她身子也像是要被这阵风吹倒，倚住了那少女的肩，姗姗走了过来，仿佛是走在云霞上。
快活王目中，燃起了火炬般的光芒，捋须笑道：“怜她甘为鬼……”
沈浪应声笑道：“愿君莫摧花。”
快活王伸手一拍他肩头，敞声长笑道：“妙极，数十年寻寻觅觅，不想你竟是本王之知己。”
只见幽灵宫主姗姗走上曲廊，竟笔直走到那杯盘狼藉的长几前，扶起了酒杯，柔声笑道：“俗子无知，扰了王爷雅兴，贱妾谢罪。”
快活王道：“不错，此罪当罚。”
幽灵宫主点首道：“但愿王爷莫罚得太重，贱妾承受不起。”
她神情中自有一种楚楚堪怜之意，令人销魂。
快活王大笑道：“本王怎舍得罚重了你……说该如何罚她？”后面一句话，自然是向沈浪说的。
沈浪微笑道：“罚她为王爷斟酒三杯。”
快活王欢声道：“有佳人斟酒，本王不饮已醉。”
幽灵宫主已执起了银壶，在杯中斟了杯酒，柔声道：“王爷只要不嫌贱妾手脏，就请饮此一杯。”
灯光下，只见她玉手纤纤，柔白如雪。别人的眼睛会说话，她却连一双手都会说话。
她从头到脚，看来似乎天生就是要被人欺负的，教人见她，虽然怜惜，却又忍不
