"Who are you?"

A crisp female voice came from behind. Lin Junshu couldn't help but straighten up. He touched his hand to the handle of the knife and turned around slowly.

"We are...uh...customers..."

Turning around, in the slightly empty hall on the first floor, a teenage girl in green came into view. It looked like she was standing on the steps when she came downstairs just now, tilting her head and looking at her with confusion.

With two uninvited guests who broke in.

"Customers? You two grown men came in in the middle of the night just to buy balm?"

"Huh?"

Lin Junshu was confused. Although there were no goods for sale on the empty first floor, based on the strange smell, music, and women's voices, he concluded that this was probably a brothel.

He was prepared for a little self-sacrifice...ah, he was extremely alert. But this shop actually sells balm?

"That's not right." Without waiting for Lin Junshu's reply, the little girl continued: "You are not customers!"

"We at Ningxiang Pavilion only make incense. If you want to buy it, you have to go to the county magistrate in person. Looking at you, it won't be your first time in Xushui City. You don't know how to buy a mask. You met the Bliss

Is he a fool who hid in here?"

The little girl opened her mouth slightly, raised her hand to cover it lightly, and her eyes revealed a lively disbelief.

"Hehe...hehe..."

What a shame! I was actually seen through by a little girl in an instant!

Hu Jian looked at Lin Junshu and asked for his opinion. Lin Junshu shook his head slightly.

"This... girl is really smart. She understood the dilemma of our brothers at a glance. I wonder if she can be accommodating and let us stay here for one night?"

Lin Junshu could see that the little girl was new to the world, and she didn't look like an outsider. The most important thing was that her face was the same as theirs, and she was not wearing that exaggerated mask. At the moment, this shop was the only safe place for them.

The place to stay.

"I can't make the decision. There have never been guests in Ningxiang Pavilion. I just take care of the maid of the pavilion master. You wait here, I will ask."

After the little girl finished speaking, she went upstairs alone without waiting for a reply.

"Who is this pavilion master? In the time of bliss when all the shops are participating, why are they the only ones not using it? And even after we came in, those crazy masked people didn't chase us in."

"Is it because it's scary here? Or is it important?"

Lin Junshu was deep in thought, then suddenly turned around and looked at the black-faced man beside him.

"Lao Hu, do you still have more charms that General Zhang gave you? Give me some self-defense?"

What happened after entering the city completely disrupted Lin Junshu's rhythm. He originally thought it was going to be a suspense drama, but he didn't expect that it would change the channel and it would become a restricted product that is banned from broadcasting at midnight!

Although it is not yet certain whether their identities have been exposed now, there is no doubt that there will be many dangers they need to face next.

It’s still too dangerous for me, who doesn’t even have half a pot, so I need to get some spells from the Great Sage Master to calm my mind.

Hu Jian nodded, and happily took out a stack of charms from his arms and handed them to Lin Junshu.

Lin Junshu took it excitedly, and after looking at the lines on the charm, his face dropped again.

"Are these all just pain relief charms? Are there any other types?"

Hu Jian shook his head: "Yes, but you don't need it. The leader said that he must protect you, so as long as you live, I will protect you from the rest!"

Lin Junshu really didn't know whether to feel pained or moved: "Brother, have you ever thought about giving me some powerful spells so that I can have stronger self-protection ability, which is also a kind of protection?"

Hu Jian glanced at Lin Junshu in surprise: "The leader said you only learned about self-cultivation. Are you going to sacrifice an arm or a leg to cast a spell?"

"What? Offer... a sacrifice?" Lin Junshu said in surprise. When he saw Zhang Zhang throwing the fireball, he only saw that he was weak, and he didn't see that he was missing arms or legs.

Hu Jian looked at him with an expression like "You don't even know this?"

"The spell is just a medium, and you still have to bear the cost of using the spell. For example, Taoism introduces the evil god's pollution into the body and uses assimilation to steal part of the authority. There are still some people who are not able or unwilling to use this method.

They will exchange power through the price of sacrifice. The greater the price, the greater the power."

"Both uses of the evil god's power are very common. The difference is that the former will not pay a big price in the short term, but will step on the path of being contaminated and alienated, and may eventually lose control completely. The latter can avoid mental risks, but

The transaction is a one-time transaction. Even if it is powerful, if you want to continue using it, you must continue to pay the price."

"With your small body like you now, if I give you a Five Thunder Talisman, you will have to blow up one of your hands first before you can release the thunder, right?"

Lin Junshu imagined his own immortal spirit in his mind, pointed at the talisman, and hurriedly chanted the talisman like a law, and threw the talisman at the enemy. As a result, the enemy was still fine, and he exploded into the sky with a bang.

"Is this really a magic thing? Are you sure it's not a naughty bomb that self-destructs!"

"Lao Hu, isn't there a spell that is less powerful that I can use reluctantly?" Lin Junshu was unwilling to give in and could only complain that his position as a pure being was too frustrating, right?

Lao Hu thought about it seriously, then took out a bunch of charms from his pocket, flipped through them, and finally pulled out two and handed them to Lin Junshu.

"You can barely use this."

"What is this?" Lin Junshu hurriedly took it. Well, it really has a different pattern from the analgesic charm. Will he finally have an offensive method?

"This is a phantom talisman. After using it, you can construct a phantom based on your mental power. The finer the phantom, the longer it lasts, and the greater the consumption of mental power. You'd better control it within two breaths, otherwise it will be harmful to you.

It’s a burden on my body.”

Hu Jian gave detailed instructions on how to use the Phantom Talisman and what precautions should be taken.

Lin Junshu looked helpless, why is it a life-threatening spell? What about the promised aggression! When will we ordinary people stand up!

In the end, Lin Junshu put away the spell.

The sound of brisk footsteps came from the stairs again, and the two of them immediately shut up and looked towards the stairs.

Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, and the girl's voice brought a bit of joy: "The master of the pavilion agreed! You can stay here, but you can only stay for one night, and you must leave at dawn tomorrow. Good luck to you! Let's stay together

Xiangge has never received outsiders."

"That's great! Thank you so much, Miss and the Pavilion Master!" Lin Junshu looked happy and grateful on the surface, but secretly raised his guard in his heart.

I have never received outsiders, so why did I suddenly take them in? Is it a lie or an ulterior motive?

If you have a chance, it's best to meet this mysterious pavilion master.

"Come quickly, I will take you to the rest room."

The little girl led the way, and the two of them followed them upstairs. Although the little girl looked like she disliked the two of them, she could still see her hidden joy in her increasingly brisk steps.

Lin Junshu took the opportunity to inquire about the news.

"Girl, we are new here and don't know much about the rules of Xushui City. Could you please give me some advice?"

"My name is Qingqing. If you have any questions, just ask and I will answer you according to my mood!"

"Okay, Miss Qingqing, what is that moment of bliss you are talking about? What's going on with the mask?"

"The time of bliss...haven't you all seen it?" Speaking of this, she seemed to be a little embarrassed, "Anyway, it happens every night. After the city gate closes, the sound of the gong represents the beginning, and it ends at dawn. In this

During the time period, you can do anything allowed by the rules. Masks are a condition of participation and are sold by most shop owners."

"What are the rules? I saw that almost all the stores have participated. Why doesn't your Ningxiang Pavilion need to participate?" Lin Junshu asked the question he had always been curious about.

"There are so many rules, how can I remember them? One of the rules is that our Ningxiang Pavilion is not within the scope of the Time of Bliss. Our Pavilion Master can make incense that is unique in the world, so he doesn't want to participate, and the county magistrate will not force him to do so.

."

"The Pavilion Master is so powerful. I wonder if we have a chance to meet this Pavilion Master?"

"Don't think about it, the master of the pavilion doesn't see outsiders."

"Then..."

Lin Junshu wanted to ask again, but immediately heard Qingqing shout:

"Oh, why do you have so many questions? The room has arrived!"

The little girl opened the door for them: "This is the room. There is only one bed, so you can make do with it. Over the corridor is the master's room. Don't go near it without permission! I live on the right.

One o'clock, the room with the green grass at the door, if you really have anything, you can go find me over there."

Sister-in-law Liang, who was annoyed by Lin Junshu, quickly finished her explanation and ran away.

Lin Junshu still felt a pity that he couldn't ask a few more questions. Such innocent little girls are rare in this city.

Lin Junshu and Hu Jian walked into the room prepared for them. Lin Junshu, who was walking behind, carefully pulled the door shut. When the door was about to close, he subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at the "Pavilion Master"'s room.
