On the other side of the attic is a small courtyard with a sycamore tree planted with lush branches and leaves. It was impossible for Ning Tao to stay on the roof of a girl's house in broad daylight. He jumped from the roof to the tree, and then stepped on a branch to the corridor on the second floor of the attic.
The woman's room door was on the side of the corridor. Ning Tao came to the door, but he hesitated in his heart. He just broke into a woman's room like this. Is this considered an act of robbery
If he could bring her back, it would be worth being a robber, but he knew very well that even if he rushed in, he would get nothing.
Just when he was hesitating, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind the door: "If you dare to break through the house, don't you dare to enter my door?"
Ning Tao was stunned for a moment, then reached out and knocked on the door.
"Please come in." A woman's voice came from behind the door, her voice was clear and pleasant.
Ning Tao reached out and pushed open the door and walked in.
The room behind the door is not big, with a carved flower bed, a dressing table, a bronze mirror, and several rouge and gouache boxes. There is also an embroidery stand, and there is an unfinished work on it, which is about mandarin ducks playing in the water.
She was standing next to the embroidery stand. She looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was tall and graceful. Her eyes are bold and direct, giving people a bold impression. The mandarin ducks playing in the water next to her seemed to be her unfinished work, but it gave Ning Tao the feeling that she was definitely not a woman hiding in the attic doing embroidery.
"You know I came here to break the house, but you still dare to call me into your house, aren't you afraid of me?" Ning Tao said with a smile.
"Even if I don't ask you to come in, you will come in, right?" she said, not afraid at all.
Ning Tao smiled: "You are not old, but you are very courageous. Aren't you afraid that I am a bad person?"
She frowned slightly: "I'm already eighteen, and my playmates of the same age are already mothers. You actually call me young?"
Ning Tao then remembered that this was ancient times, and girls could get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. She was still living in the attic at the age of eighteen. In this era, she was already considered a "leftover girl".
"What's the girl's name?" Ning Tao asked.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"My name is Ning Tao, what's yours?"
"Zhang Xiaoqing." She said her name, and then added, "Zi Qingning, you can call me Xiaoqing, you can call me Qingning, or you can call me Miss Zhang."
Xiao Qing, that was Ning Tao's nickname for Qing Zhui. He smiled and said, "Then I'll call you Qing Ning."
Zhang Xiaoqing said: "Are you speechless?"
Ning Tao said: "Yes, I... the name is Buri Xingjun."
"BuRi Xingjun?" Zhang Xiaoqing read it out, and then smiled, "You are really a wild man, you actually have such a name."
Ning Tao awakened the state of vision in his eyes, observed her and said: "Isn't Miss Qingning also a bold person? You don't even know me, but you dare to let me come into your house, you are not afraid of being Do you think it ruined your reputation?"
Zhang Xiaoqing was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "I just asked you to ruin my reputation."
Ning Tao was stunned for a moment.
The turn was a bit wide, and the front end of the car was bent.
His Wangshu diagnosis was also over. She was just an ordinary girl with no spiritual power or internal strength. She is even a little unhealthy. She has been sitting for a long time doing embroidery, her lumbar disc is a little herniated, and her eyesight is a little short-sighted.
He could easily cure her of these problems, but the time limit was less than a day, so it was meaningless. And she herself probably doesn't care about these minor problems, let alone the feeling that she will die if she hears the truth in the morning.
"But don't think nonsense. If you dare to use your hands or feet, I will stab myself to death." Zhang Xiaoqing grabbed a scissor next to the embroidery stand and pressed it against her own chest.
There is good development there, plump and erect, very attractive.
Ning Tao couldn't help but smile bitterly. In the past time and space he entered this time, why were all the strange people and weird things he encountered? Just now, he had a feeling like a faucet was being bent. She said such explicit words but then took the scissors to her own chest and threatened him. He felt that he could no longer sit in the car.
"Calm down." Ning Tao took a step back, "I don't understand what you mean. What exactly do you want to do?"
Zhang Xiaoqing said: "My father is a businessman. He transported lychees and tea to Concubine Yang Guifei from Lingnan, but he was robbed outside Chang'an City. The money invested cannot be recovered. Part of the money was taken from the bully's bank. It's a loan with a high interest rate. My father can't repay it, and the bully wants me to marry him as his concubine. I would rather die than do it. If you ruin my reputation, the bully might not marry me. "
Ning Tao asked curiously: "Then what should I do to ruin your reputation?"
Zhang Xiaoqing said: "You take off your clothes, I shout loudly, and then you jump out of my window."
Ning Tao: "..."
Zhang Xiaoqing added: "When I first saw you, I knew you were a knight errant. The fact that you can fly to me from the house opposite shows that you are very skilled in martial arts. Please help me, little lady. I can’t repay you in this life, but I will repay you in the next life.”
A trace of pity arose in Ning Tao's heart. It was really unfortunate for a girl like a flower to encounter such a thing, but seeing her serious and matter-of-factly writing a bad check, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"What are you going to do if you fail?" Ning Tao didn't laugh after all. She had no choice but to make such a decision. If he laughed at her again, he would look heartless.
There were a little tears in Zhang Xiaoqing's eyes: "If I fail, I will hang myself here. Please take my body out of Anhua Gate and give it to a little brother and let him bury me in his yard." ”
"What's that little brother's name?"
"Zhai Wei, whose courtesy name is Pingchuan and whose name is Qinglin Jushi." When he read out this string of names, Zhang Xiaoqing's eyes showed deep affection, but more of them were sad.
Ning Tao remembered the name and asked again: "Is he a scholar?"
Zhang Xiaoqing nodded.
Ning Tao said: "Okay, I promise you, you don't have to die. I will send you directly to see your lover Zhai Wei. I can even kill the bully for you. However, I have a condition that you must meet. I."
"Satisfy you...what?" Zhang Xiaoqing's eyes subconsciously fell on Ning Tao's long haired legs, and his expression suddenly became tense.
Ning Tao said: "Don't be nervous. I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of others. My condition is actually very simple. Tell me, have you ever had a strange dream?"
"Strange dream?"
Ning Tao nodded: "Have you ever had such a dream? You heard a woman's voice telling you to go see her, and then you entered a foggy world. You walked and walked, and finally saw her. A woman in red clothes. You asked her who she was, and she turned around. Her head was a skull... "
"Stop talking!" Zhang Xiaoqing's reaction was very strong. She covered her ears, "Stop talking, stop talking..."
"You've had such a dream, haven't you?" In fact, based on her reaction, Ning Tao was sure that she had had the same nightmare as Xunxian and the hanging widow, and she was so intense at this moment. Judging from her reaction, there is even more content in her nightmare!
Zhang Xiaoqing looked very painful: "Please stop talking..."
Ning Tao was not willing to give up, so he recited loudly: "The gods are dead and the heavenly soldiers are dead, and there are trees under the tower. To find the ancestors, one needs to die first, and there is a secret road between life and death. This is the prophecy you left behind. , you also said that when you and I meet each other, have you forgotten? "
Stimulation increases.
"Ah!" Zhang Xiaoqing suddenly screamed and fell straight to the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching his limbs.
Ning Tao rushed forward in a hurry, reached out and grabbed her wrist, and injected a little spiritual power into her body.
Zhang Xiaoqing's limbs stopped twitching in the blink of an eye, but her eyes looked strange. At this moment, a golden light flashed in her eyes.
That golden light flashed away, but Ning Tao still caught it, and he suddenly became excited: "Does she have a more complete Nascent Soul of Xunzu Danxian in her body?"
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoqing said: "The time when the pill is round is when you and I meet..."
Before she finished her sentence, she closed her eyes and passed out. It felt to him as if she had exhausted all her energy and strength when she said these words.
He let go of her hand and sat cross-legged next to her, in the posture of Guanyin sitting in the lotus position.
When he enters, Nascent Soul comes out.
The next second, he plunged into Zhang Xiaoqing's mind.
Static "photos" and dynamic "video" memory fragments floated in her mind.
He saw what she looked like as a child.
He saw her embroidering.
He saw her dressing up.
He saw the memory of her outing with her little brother Zhai Wei outside the city, and she was very happy. That young man was born in vain, and his face was like a crown jewel. He was good-looking, but his clothes were shabby, and you could tell at a glance that he was a poor scholar. But in ancient times, are there many stories about rich ladies falling in love with poor scholars and eloping with him at all costs
Then he finally discovered the hidden nightmare and dove into it.
There was nothing in the mist that shrouded the world, only the woman's guiding voice.
Ning Tao approached her from Zhang Xiaoqing's first-person perspective, and finally saw her, dressed in red like fire, with long hair reaching her waist. Just looking at her back, she is definitely a beauty.
Suddenly, she turned her head.
Ning Tao was stunned on the spot.
The skull face is still the same skull face, but it has an extra lip.
She said, "Are you here again?"
The lips move and the voice is clear.
But Ning Tao couldn't speak, this was just Zhang Xiaoqing's dream.
"You have woken me up, I don't have much time..."
Ning Tao was shocked, what did she mean
"Remember, the time when the elixir is round is when you and I meet." She said, then got up and walked deeper into the mist.
In the past, dreamers were woken up by fright, but this time it was she who got up and left.
Zhang Xiaoqing's nightmare ended here, and Ning Tao was also ejected. He searched his mind again, but found nothing. He was back in his own body.
Suddenly there was a loud noise downstairs.
"Asshole! You old immortal, hand her over to me, or I'll break your legs!" came a voice.
This sound…
Inexplicably familiar!
