After eating, it was already dark. The whole inn and the whole city fell from the hustle and bustle to silence, only the insects in the grass humming along with the shadow of the moon.
Changyou's residence is in the south of the city, in a remote countryside, surrounded by tall trees, the walls and roof are black, and there are two monstrous stone beasts standing at the door, with their teeth and claws open, and their eyeballs painted blood red with paint. , this architectural style and idea are similar to the jewel robe that His Royal Highness Xiao Wang personally chose on the first day of the Lunar New Year—the latter is wrapped around the waist with "rich, rich and rich" brightly, and the former is brightly wrapped with "wealth and wealth". Curse to scare people" brushed on the room, no matter how you look at it, it looks like an old liar who said "not enough spells, let's use threats to make up".
Ji Yanran led Yun Yifeng, and the two quietly landed in a hiding place. The lights in the room were all off. When I listened carefully, I could only hear the occasional snoring of a man and the sound of animals chewing grass in the backyard.
Yun Yifeng said: "Let's not talk about witches or wizards, the landlord is a real landlord." There are more than ten or twenty houses in a row, richer than the richest rich man in Yuli City. There are also a lot of livestock. More than a dozen big fat pigs are snoring and sleeping. Their fur is black and shiny, and there is nothing unusual at first glance. Ji Yanran walked through the smelly pigsty, intending to look from room to room, Yun Yifeng followed behind him, the hem of his snow-white clothes rose slightly with the movement, bringing out a scent of jasmine, a black pig's nose twitched After a few clicks, he opened his eyes in a half-dream and half-awake state, and quickly closed them again.
Under the moonlight, the pupils were as red as blood.
There is a strange smell of ghosts in the corridor. It should be the place where Changyou stores medicinal materials and dried flowers. Going forward, there is a pharmacy with many bottles and jars. In the third room there is a "hiss" With a soft sound, Yun Yifeng glanced through the window, a pair of dark green eyes were floating in mid-air like will-o'-the-wisps, and there were many pythons and poisonous snakes flowing on the ground...a room full of pythons and poisonous snakes of various sizes.
Ji Yanran shook her head secretly, just as she was about to continue walking, but was grabbed by the wrist, Yun Yifeng pressed him against the window: "Look at the right side."
On the right side, there are a few scattered white bones...human bones, and two small bright red snakes are coiling on them, sucking the bone marrow.
"No wonder everyone is afraid of him, such a bloody and brutal person, who can not be afraid." Yun Yifeng said, "Just with these few fresh bones, it is enough to arrest him and bring him to justice."
At this time, there was a gust of wind blowing in the courtyard, the window of the next room was not closed properly, it swayed twice, and knocked open with a "bang".
A man with a colorful complexion was standing there, staring straight at him, smiling sinisterly, and the wind blew his messy hair like a black snake dancing wildly.
When this happened in the middle of the night, Yun Yifeng was quite frightened, almost at the same time as Ji Yanran drew his sword out of its sheath, Longyin Feiluan put it on the neck one by one on the left and one on the right, but the man didn't respond at all.
…
Doll, or dead
Yun Yifeng put his sword back into its sheath, resisting the cloying sweet smell, and took a closer look.
The skin is delicate, there are fine hairs on it, and it is cold and hard, so it should be... a doll made of a living person or a corpse, with a rough powder on the face, a big red dress, and a holding red hijab.
Yun Yifeng's heart jumped wildly with a "bang bang": "The one with the ghost?"
"It's hard to say." Ji Yanran closed the window again. When checking the next room, he was worried that such a vivid and terrifying puppet would appear again, so he blocked Yun Yifeng behind him and approached the window by himself.
"What is it?"
"Many tables, and many porcelain cups, and a group of big bright red spiders on the table."
"There are black lines on the back? That's called Qiuniang. It's a first-class poisonous spider. I've eaten a lot of it before. The taste is quite crunchy and the taste is sour and sweet."
When ordinary people describe poisonous insects, they obviously wouldn't say "the taste is sour and sweet". Thinking of the torture he had suffered before, Ji Yanran couldn't help but feel distressed. Just as he was about to say something to comfort him, Yun Yifeng smiled again and patted him on the chest: "Liar!" Yours, I haven’t eaten them, but the ghost thorns did bite me with this thing. Qiu Niang was only found on the Wandering Isle, but now it appeared in the southwest out of thin air. It seems that the ghost thorns are really in the wild horse tribe’s lair. Gotta run."
"Let's keep this person for now." Ji Yanran said, "Let's put a long line to catch big fish. Since we frequently go in and out of the miasma forest, it probably won't be long before we meet again."
Yun Yifeng nodded, followed him into the Gu room, and flipped through two rows of porcelain cups, there were really many poisonous insects and ants in it. Looking at it this way, I just misunderstood this weird black house—it’s not in vain The appearance, but from the inside to the outside, are all weird and thrilling in the same strain. As well as the pervasive smile on the face of the puppet in the red skirt, Master Yunmen felt that he would probably seriously forget it for three hundred years.
This wizard can be regarded as "a big family and a big business", but there are no servants and maids, only two or three children, who live in the most side courtyard crowded together.
When it was almost dawn, the two had just returned to the inn. Mu Chengxue has already woken up and is sitting at the table drinking tea: "How is it?"
"The house is full of secrets, and the house is full of weirdness." Yun Yifeng said, "There are poisonous, voodoo, snakes, skeletons, and several corpse puppets. According to the wizard's behavior habits, within half a month, he reckons there will be more Go back to the miasma dense forest, so I discussed with the prince and decided that brother Mu should follow him."
Mu Chengxue: "..."
Mink was on the table, shaking his head, picking out minced meat from the scum.
Reminds me of that day—
"After the matter of the wild horse tribe is settled, I will never fight for this mink with you again."
The killer said coldly: "Okay."
…
In Wangcheng, Li Jun was yawning and rushing to the imperial study. He was really lazy today, so he pretended to be sick and took a leave of absence, hoping to escape from going to court one day, but he didn't know how long after he fell asleep, Koizumi who was next to Eunuch Desheng came to the door in person, saying that the emperor had invited him, One more thing, the emperor seems to be in a bad mood, so King Pingle should pay attention to everything.
"It's so good, why are you in a bad mood again?" Li Jun sighed, feeling very sad in her heart, and she didn't know when she would be able to wait for the good time of the dude and bully. After entering the imperial study room, seeing Li Jing sitting behind the dragon table, he smiled cautiously: "Brother Huang."
Li Jing threw the secret letter to him: "Let's have a look."
Li Jun caught it in a hurry, seeing that it was Ji Yanran's wax stamping, she was a bit relieved - at least it wasn't an official who was too busy to attend to her. On the other side of the seventh brother, since he was at Jiang’s house recently, it’s probably because something happened to the Wulin League, it’s not a big... big...
He stared at the last few lines in shock, his brain seemed to be hit by a sap, and he didn't react for a long time, his hands and mouth trembled together: "Jiang Jiangjiang three young masters? How is this possible, this is impossible Ah, this... Is this someone pretending to be the seventh brother and deliberately provoking it?"
"I asked you before, what kind of person Jiang Lingfei is." Li Jing said, "Answer me again now."
"This... Chenchen Chendi and him are really not... no, he really doesn't look like a bad guy. During the battle in Yancheng, he cooperated closely with the seventh brother, even disregarding his own safety, and broke the ecstasy formation together with the master of the Yunmen. Maybe it's a traitor?" When Li Jun said this, his tongue was bitten seven or eight times, his teeth were shaking violently, and the blood on his mouth was knocked out, but at least he did not expose his uncle like he did in the past, trying to protect himself and deny his six relatives. , Just kowtow and howl "Wolf ambition, must not stay", it can be regarded as mustering the courage to tremble for the "friends of the rivers and lakes" who squeezed through the barracks tent.
Li Jing sighed secretly, and ordered Desheng to help him sit down first. In fact, not to mention Li Jun, even I have seen Jiang Lingfei twenty or thirty times over the years, and I only feel that he is high-spirited, unrestrained and unrestrained, and even thought about recruiting him into the imperial court. Guess that the other party will be the one that hides the deepest.
Li Jun was still stammering and asking: "Could there be some misunderstanding or misunderstanding?"
"Yan Ran said that he would go after the wild horse tribe and give me an explanation." Li Jing said, "You once lived and ate with Jiang Lingfei for dozens of days. Go back and think about it carefully to see if you can think of anything weird."
I can think of any weird anomalies. Li Jun is about to cry again, I am really an idiot.
But this can't be said in front of the emperor's brother, so he had no choice but to kneel down and accept the order, and dragged his frightened fat body and weak feet to go out.
The boy was waiting for him outside the door. Seeing his lord's face was pale and sweaty, and his expression was still in a daze, he was taken aback. He quickly trotted to support him, and asked in a low voice, "Is the emperor scolding the lord again?"
Li Jun cried and said, "I'd rather the emperor scold me."
The boy was puzzled: "Huh?"
"Forget it, let's go for a walk in the garden first." Li Jun said weakly, "Let's bask in the sun and take a while."
"Hey!" The boy agreed, and helped him to the imperial garden. It was a coincidence that the old concubine was visiting the garden with Concubine Hui, and planned to cut some fresh morning dew roses to make a sachet.
As if seeing a savior, Li Jun hurriedly ran towards her: "Toffee!"
With a loud howl, countless birds flew into the air.
…
After Li Jing dealt with a few government affairs, thinking about Jiang Lingfei's matter, he felt restless again. Although Ji Yanran did not hide Jiang's family affairs in the letter, and had already taken Yun Yifeng to the southwest to clean up the mess, but when he thought that the eyeliner he couldn't find in the palace would be..., he felt a pain in his head, and his temples were throbbing Twist out a blue tendon.
Desheng came in from the door and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the old concubine is asking to see you."
Li Jing was taken aback: "What is the old concubine here for?"
De Sheng said: "Ping Le Wang is also here, maybe it has something to do with Young Master Jiang."
Li Jing's teeth itch with hatred for this messy idiot. He was just negligent for a while, and if he missed a word of "secrecy", he wished he could stand on the city wall and shout for everyone to know about it
"Your Majesty?" Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Desheng had no choice but to remind him again.
Li Jing was helpless: "Xuan."
The old concubine walked in a hurry along the way, and she almost fell down on the way. Her hairpin was untied, and she didn't care to check whether her appearance was neat. She turned pale and said, "Lingfei... the matter of Lingfei, is it true?"
Li Jing nodded and handed the letter to her: "I didn't want to disturb the concubine."
After the old concubine finished reading, she stomped her feet again and again: "Confused, confused!"
She supported herself to stand up, ignored Desheng's dissuasion, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I also ask His Majesty to allow you to go to the southwest to bring back that ignorant son."
