Chapter 6                                                              

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, it is damp and silent.

This year's Hundred Nights City seemed destined to happen. The sky was gray and a huge fog floated from the distance, covering the entire town.

Yu Quanyou, who was resting in the inn, changed into a comfortable set of men's clothes, tied a simple bun, and then clasped her hair crown. An extremely handsome young man appeared in the bronze mirror.

She is born with a good appearance. Because she practiced martial arts since she was a child, she has a bit of heroic spirit between her eyebrows, which is very suitable for wearing men's clothing.

But the plum blossom mark on her forehead was really abrupt, which made her gently lock her eyebrows.

She spread the pink makeup lightly, and she firmly covered the mark. She hated this unknown mark, which made her lose her mother and a home.

"What are you going to do when you wear men's clothes?" A low voice came from the room.

She was startled and looked up.

The man stood in front of the pavilion gate, with his distinct facial features raising his face and smiling, his white clothes and black hair, his circling eyes were full of brilliance, and the doting touch that once made her heart move was still on the corner of his lips.

Such a jade-like man walked towards her with a chuckling, which made her feel happy that she had been waiting for him for a long time and finally waited for him.

"It's just because men's clothing is more convenient." She answered him casually, and looked at his slowly walking over, inexplicably feeling familiar.

When he got closer, Yu Quanyou realized that his pupils had changed back into ink.

The dark pupils were so deep that they were not bottomless. She felt very strange. When she saw him before, she was still blue, why did she change back now?

Yu Quanyou recalled that when he first met him, his eyes were dark ink. But after he was injured, his pupils turned blue, but now they have returned to their original state.

Could his pupils change color when he is injured or recovered from his injury? Yu Quanyou thought thoughtfully and blurted out, "Your injury is fine, right?"

"Well, it's fine." He smiled. Yu Quanyou was a little suspicious, so he looked at his pulse while he was not paying attention, but it was really good. Is Yu Quanyou's guess correct?

But how could a person like him have such a problem? If he is injured or healthy and others can understand through his eyes, then wouldn’t his enemies easily grasp his situation and take advantage of the situation?

"What are you trying to find out my pulse like this? Are you still afraid that I will lie to you?" The man raised his smile, and there was a trace of expectation in his starry eyes that Yu Quanyou couldn't tease.

Yu Quanyou stared at his eyes and replied, "I'm just curious, how could a dignified god have the habit of changing his eyes?"

He heard her mention the matter, his pupils suddenly tightened, "This is a disease."

"What?" Yu Quanyou was puzzled.

“I have a kind of worm in my body, and whenever I get hurt, they will come out and move.

It would be fine if I was slightly injured, but I could suppress it with my own internal strength, but if I was seriously injured, they would eat the spiritual energy in my body, so the color of my pupils would change once I was injured." He said, his smile full of bitterness.

Yu Quanyou looked at him and was silent for a while, "Why did you tell me?"

Her question made him stunned and stood there silently.

"You are the God and the God of Xiaoyao. Shouldn't you beware of others? Especially me who has only known you for a few days." Every word is like a bead, and there is confusion in her eyes.

He said nothing, Yu Quanyou continued to ask, "Why do you come to save me desperately when I encounter danger several times? Even... even to spare your life? In your eyes, I should be just an unimportant passerby, right?"

"Ha...passer?"

Flowers fall outside the window, and a cool breeze with the fragrance of flowers blew slightly.

He suddenly laughed out loud, and his dark eyes gradually became cold.

For some reason, when she saw the wound in his eyes, her heart started to hurt uncontrollably.

"What do girls think is the reason?" The man with a sad face asked Yu Quanyou, and his tone gradually became iced.

"Did you... have a purpose to approach me?" She held back the strange feeling in her heart and continued to ask. These things must be asked clearly after all.

Ask clearly, what is the reason? He wants to save her who is irrelevant again and again?

"If I say...I like you?" His cold eyes stared at Yu Quanyou and said such words, Yu Quanyou's heart beat for some reason. He... liked her...?

"I..." Yu Quanyou stopped, not knowing how to answer.

"If a girl thinks I have a purpose, then think so. I actually... don't mind... really don't mind..."

The white ink hair reflected bitterness in the aperture shining through the window.

"I know, what are you going to do next... But it's not a trivial matter to go to the Hundred Ghost Hall at night. If you put this on, I can feel it immediately through it."

With a quiet and distant voice, the man looked sad and took out a pendant with a peach blossom from his sleeve and brought it with her.

Yu Quanyou let him put it on for her, neither hiding nor talking, but just looking at the face reflected in the bronze mirror, the face with wounded eyebrows.

Just as she couldn't help but want to touch her, she was left with her shadow in the yellowed bronze mirror.

The slender figure behind her never disappeared again. She was stunned for a while and could not come back to her senses for a long time.

Thinking back to his face, her hand hanging in the air slowly fell down, falling on the crystal peach blossom pendant, unable to speak.

It was unknown how long it took, but when the sky in the small town became dark, she was sitting in front of the bronze mirror and reacted a little.

The Baiye City at night was very quiet, and almost no one was active on the streets here. The streets were filled with cold winds. There were only the sound of gongs from guarding people in the empty city, "The sky is dry, be careful of the fire candle."

A few knocks came from the door of Honglan Pavilion, "Master, it's time for us to set off."

Yu Quanyou turned his eyes, took a deep breath, tried hard to wave the face in his mind, then stood up and went to open the door.

Ling Yun stood at the door with the girl they met two days ago.

The girl changed the dirty clothes into a new one. It was the one Yu Quanyou picked for her by herself, and it was very suitable to wear them.

The girl called herself Xiaoyu, and she said that it was the nickname her mother called her.

The three of them came to the empty street and walked towards the southeast.

The bitter cool breeze blew on the faces of the three people, and a slight pain came, but they did not stop and were still moving towards the direction of the Ghost Gate. At the corner of the street, they met Shogengren.

The guardian, who was beating the gong, saw that there were still people walking on the streets on the fifth day of the first lunar month and there were several girls.

The guards who have been guarding this small city for a lifetime know that it will be very dangerous in another hour, so they kindly stepped forward and persuaded, "Misses, it's getting late, why are you still on the street? It's almost time to come, and the ghost gate of Baiye City is about to open, and it's too dangerous outside. You three hurry up and cover yourself with a quilt, and you must not speak, otherwise the evil spirit of Baiye Temple will capture you..."

"Uncle, does this Ghost Gate appear only at midnight?" Yu Quanyou happened to be not so clear about the opening time of Ghost Gate. Now that someone can ask, he naturally needs to ask clearly.

"I heard your tone...are you not from Baiye City?"

"indeed."

"No wonder I don't know that whenever this small town is in the first month, the Ghost Gate will be opened, and it will be March, and it will be open every night at midnight."

"Does uncle know the specific direction of this ghost gate?"

"A small path that is usually not usually visible in the southeast of Baiye City at night. When you walk in that direction, you will see a burning blue fire. Behind the burning fire is the Ghost Gate."

Shougeng talked to them clearly and knew the most about these things.

"You three won't want to go to this ghost sect, are you?" Shou Gengren seemed to think of something and asked Yu Quanyou and the other two.

Yu Quanyou nodded gently when he heard it seriously, "It's true."

"How can a young girl seek death? Where is the Ghost Gate? You three are not gods of Daluo. You will definitely lose your life wherever you go. How can you not cherish yourself so much?" The uncle who was beating the Gentleman hurriedly dissuaded him when he heard Yu Quanyou's answer.

"Uncle, don't worry, I have made enough preparations before I have to go."

"Oh... even so, I will follow you. Since I met you today, I will take you on my own. I am familiar with the way to the Ghost Gate, so I will take you there."

The kind-hearted beater sighed, as if he couldn't bear to let the three young girls die, so he thought about taking them there.

"Uncle, since the ghost gate is so dangerous, why are you not afraid and still take us there?"

"Because I was born to be a Yin-Yang man, all the soldiers in the Hundred Ghost Hall will not hurt me, and that's why I became the guardian of Hundred Nights City."

Yin and Yang people, a race between humans and ghosts, have a pair of Yin and Yang eyes that can see through everything in the Yin and Yang realms. They are also a kind of race that conveys information to relatives or friends separated by Yin and Yang. Their duty is to ferry the dead to the underworld, save the dead for the undead, and bring the dead's expectations and wishes to the living.

Yu Quanyou then realized that this uncle was not as scared at the ghost talk like other citizens in the town. The reason why he was afraid of the ghost gate was because he was a Yin-Yang man.
