Feng Ci felt his scalp go numb, and goose bumps all over his body in an instant.
Darkness makes all perceptions clearer.
The cold and slippery snake tail was very cautious at first, it just circled around his calf tentatively. Seeing that Feng Ci didn't resist, he was even more eager to try, avoiding the complicated hem of his disciple's robe, and poked deeper.
How could Feng Ci let it mess around, bent down, and grabbed the slippery snake tail.
"You want to surprise me, don't you?" Feng Ci sneered, and picked up the snake's tail.
It wasn't until this time that I saw clearly that the snake's body also showed a translucent state of consciousness.
No wonder you can meet him.
This is the first time Feng Ci has seen the prototype of his own little black snake after three thousand years.
Little Black Snake was always disliked as a bad-looking boy when he was young, but Feng Ci liked it very much. Its whole body is extremely glossy black, with a slender and slender body, wrapped around Feng Ci's wrist, like a shiny and translucent black jade bracelet.
But now this little snake, no, he can no longer be called a little snake.
This snake is very long, and its tail sticks out from some dark corner, and the head cannot be seen at a glance. The thickest part of the snake's body is as thick as an adult man's arm, and the luster on the scales has become slightly dull with time, giving birth to complicated and gorgeous patterns.
Feng Ci played with the translucent tail for a moment, then frowned.
Sure enough, the cub period is the cutest time for all creatures.
If what he encountered three thousand years ago was not that slender and beautiful little black snake, but this big one, maybe he would have saved it.
Feng Ci sighed, almost hearing the sound of the filter in his heart shattering slightly.
Why does the cub grow up? My heart aches.
After the snake's tail was pinched by Feng Ci, it became much more honest, quietly lying in Feng Ci's palm, only the tip of the slender tail would gently sweep Feng Ci's wrist from time to time.
Brings a cool touch.
Feng Ci's heart was softened by his flattering gesture, and he put his other hand on it, and gently touched the snake's tail.
Adult black snakes look tough and powerful, but they are extremely soft to the touch. That cool body was covered with a thin layer of scales, each of which was crystal clear, Feng Ci couldn't hold back, and rubbed it with his fingertips a few more times.
The tail of the snake trembled as he touched it, trembling with sensitivity.
Feng Ci completely dissipated.
He let go of his hand, and the snake tail gently slipped from his palm, and disappeared into the darkness without a sound.
After a while, the sound of animals crawling again came from the darkness. Feng Ci knelt down and met a pair of snake eyes.
Hei Snake's head was slender and round, and he could still vaguely see his cute appearance when he was a child. Snakes don't have eyelids, so Feng Ci finally saw its eyes.
It was no longer the clear and bright gold in the past, but a very light gray, as if a white veil was covering the pupils.
These eyes are indeed invisible.
Feng Ci's eyes darkened.
He stretched out his hand, the black snake raised its head, and gently rubbed its head against his palm. The bright red snake letter was swept across Fengci's wrist, itching slightly.
"Don't, don't make trouble." The snake letter was no different from directly touching the most sensitive nerves, itching to the bone marrow, Feng Ci couldn't bear the itching, his hands shook, and scolded him, "If you move around again, I'll beat you."
The black snake flinched, and immediately stopped moving.
It's too good to be true.
Feng Ci tilted his head slightly, a tiny bit of spiritual light overflowed from the palm of his hand, and penetrated into his consciousness from the forehead of the black snake.
The state of consciousness is the weakest and most sensitive. Feng Ci knelt on the ground, gently brushing the black snake's body with his palm, not even daring to use too much force.
The spiritual power slowly flowed into the black snake's body like a warm current, exploring the depths bit by bit.
The sea of consciousness is quiet, as if falling into a deep sleep, not a single sound can be heard.
Consciousness is unclear, consciousness is not clear, not in a waking state.
No wonder.
If the little black snake, who is sober on weekdays, is touched by him like this, it would be very polite not to come up and bite off his neck, how could it be so obedient.
But what the hell is going on here
It was fine the other day.
Feng Ci was still helping Xiao Hei to investigate his spiritual consciousness, but the latter didn't understand his hard work at all.
The snake's head rose slowly, and through a thin layer of clothing, it snaked up the trouser legs, crawled over the thighs, hip bones, and waist, and finally stopped at the side of the neck.
When Feng Ci withdrew his spiritual power, the whole snake had completely wrapped around him.
As soon as he raised his head, his lips were licked by the cold snake letter.
Feng Ci: "..."
Feng Ci took a deep breath and comforted himself that the little black snake is now in a deep sleep state of consciousness, no different from animals with undeveloped spiritual consciousness, all behaviors are instinct, don't bother with him.
Then with a blank expression, he fished out the snake's tail that had been stuck into his neckline: "If you move around again, I will chop you off."
Black Snake shrank his tail and tilted his head, as if he couldn't understand what he was saying.
Feng Ci lowered his head and looked at Hei Snake, for some reason, he saw some innocence in the other's gray pupils.
Feng Ci: "..."
I really feel sorry for you.
***
Pei Qianyue's sea of consciousness was in a deep sleep state, but somehow he released his consciousness, this matter can be big or small.
But no matter what, the consciousness must be returned to its original position as soon as possible.
The little black snake clung to him and refused to let go, Feng Ci had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and stand up holding the heavy black snake. Fortunately, with the spiritual sense in hand, finding where the physical body is is an easy task, Feng Ci searched a little bit, and walked to the inner hall.
The inside and outside of the hall had been checked just now, but no trace of Pei Qianyue was found.
This time with the guidance of his spiritual sense, he came to the bedside in the inner hall.
With a thought, Feng Ci turned into a cloud of blue smoke, directly penetrated the white wall behind the bed, and entered it.
Behind this white wall, there is a secret room.
Passing through the dark and narrow passage, Feng Ci saw the whole picture of this secret room.
This room is very large, the walls, floor, and dome are all made of high-quality jade, and the jasper-colored spiritual power flows inside, slightly illuminating the whole room.
Feng Ci could tell that those were not ordinary jade.
This stone seems to have the effect of isolating the flow of spiritual power. Being in it, one can completely isolate it from the outside world. No matter how capable the opponent is, they will not be able to detect the slightest breath.
If it wasn't for Pei Qianyue's spiritual sense this time, even if Feng Ci turned the Linxian Terrace upside down, he still wouldn't be able to find it.
Feng Ci walked in holding the little black snake.
The room is very empty, only a big bed carved from jade is placed in the very center. The four sides of the big bed are hung with bed nets woven with silk yarn, hanging from the dome, there is a faint streamer floating.
Pei Qianyue was lying on the bed, his face was pale, his eyes were covered with black silk, his expression was calm, as if he was asleep.
Feng Ci stood still by the bed, pointing at Pei Qianyue's body: "Go back."
The little black snake buried its head on the side of his neck and rubbed it lightly.
silently resisted.
Feng Ci: "..."
What is wrong with this man.
He was about to force the little black snake's consciousness back into his body, when he glanced away from the corner of his eye, he saw a burner of incense burning beside the bed.
Feng Ci walked over, picked up a little debris from the incense burner, put it in his nose and smelled it.
"Don't touch that." A gentle man's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Feng Ci turned his head and saw a familiar figure.
It was the young man who brought him to Qianshan when he was selected in Xianmeng.
The young man's name is Xiao Que, and he is an inner disciple of Langfeng City.
The little black snake that was docilely wrapped around Feng Ci's body suddenly tensed up, raised its head, and hissed threateningly in that direction.
A look of fear appeared on Xiao Que's face, and he took half a step back unconsciously.
Feng Ci patted the little black snake on the head to calm him down, and then asked Xiao Que, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Que seemed surprised by his appearance, and what surprised him even more was that instead of killing the uninvited guest, his city lord wrapped him tightly around him and calmed down as soon as he was comforted.
Terribly obedient.
But Xiao didn't ask anything, but replied: "I'll deliver medicine to the city lord."
Feng Ci pointed to the incense burner beside the bed: "You put the Anshensan in here?"
Xiao Qu: "Yes."
Feng Ci's eyes looked at Xiao Que for a moment, and finally fell on his waist, narrowing his eyes: "The one on your waist... is realgar?"
Even a well-cultivated snake demon like Pei Qianyue could not be afraid of realgar powder. What's more, Xiao didn't know what method he used to make realgar into a purse, and the effect was increased by an unknown number of times.
Feng Ci stroked the black snake, felt the fearful and tense body under his palm, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
***
Xiao Que hasn't met him since he started Feng Ci.
Xiao Que actually had a good impression of the boy when he was selected by the Immortal Alliance.
The young man looks smart and cute, and he speaks very kindly to others. If there is a chance to make friends, he should be a good friend.
But today's teenagers are completely different.
The young man was holding the black snake in his arms, and stood not far away, looking at Xiao Que coldly, which made him feel a bit cold on his back.
In a trance, Xiao even felt that the deterrent power brought by the young man was no less than that of the city lord.
"I... don't get me wrong!" The gentle young man was rarely flustered, and explained, "This thing... was made by the city lord himself."
Feng Ci frowned: "He made it himself?"
What are you doing, masochistic
But the young man didn't look like he was lying, Feng Ci calmed down a little, and the breathless deterrence around him also dissipated.
Feng Ci asked him again: "So, it was his own idea to order Anshen San?"
Xiao Qu nodded: "Yes."
Feng Ci: "Why?"
Xiao didn't answer.
Feng Ci now understands his Xiao Hei's temperament too well, and said: "He won't let you speak out, right?"
Xiao nodded slightly.
Feng Ci stroked the head of the snake in his arms, and said leisurely: "The medicine makes the body fall asleep, the sea of consciousness returns to calm, but the consciousness wanders around and destroys uncontrollably. He gave you realgar to prevent you from being hurt by him, right? "
Xiao nodded again.
Feng Ci narrowed his eyes and began to think.
Judging from his previous relationship with Pei Qianyue, he didn't see any abnormality in the other party's body. What was the reason that he had to use drugs to put his body to sleep.
He couldn't think of it for a while.
When Feng Ci was thinking, he unconsciously stopped stroking, and the little black snake in his arms became restless.
He seemed to have been greatly wronged, the snake's tail climbed up and wrapped around Feng Ci's waist, and his head arched back and forth in his arms, wanting him to touch him.
"Don't make trouble..." Feng Ci was annoyed by his trouble, and threatened, "If you move around again, I will throw you out."
Black Snake Tail patted the bed displeased.
After watching the whole process, Xiao Que said, "..."
Feng Ci was clearly the one who broke in by accident, but Xiao didn't show any hostility towards him, instead his attitude was gentle and humble.
Feng Ci asked him, "Aren't you surprised to see me here?"
Xiao Que said: "The city lord is willing to let you get close to him, which proves that he trusts you. I won't ask you when you shouldn't be asked."
... Pei Qianyue really taught his disciples to be very obedient.
Feng Ci continued to ask: "Then how long will he be like this?"
"I don't know." Xiao Que said, "This time, the city lord is more... uncontrollable than before. I don't know when he will wake up."
Feng Ci frowned, and had a little guess in his heart: "Did his symptoms start three days ago?"
Three days ago, it was the time that Feng Ci went out with Pei Qianyue.
Xiao Que seemed a little surprised, but he just shook his head and didn't say much.
Feng Ci knew that no matter how much he asked, he would not be able to find anything, so he stopped embarrassing him and said, "Put the medicine there, I will light it for him later."
Pei Qianyue was ruthless to others, and he was also ruthless to himself, but if Xiao wore that sachet and got closer, he wouldn't know how uncomfortable it would be.
Xiao didn't move in a hurry.
Feng Ci raised his eyes: "What's wrong?"
"The city lord never lets anyone get close when he is in a deep sleep. You are the first person he is willing to let you get close to."
What Xiao Que said was too polite.
It's not that Pei Qianyue is willing to let him get close, it's clearly that Pei Qianyue is pestering him not to let him go.
Feng Ci asked, "What do you want to say?"
Xiao Que: "If you are willing to stay in Linxiantai to accompany him during this time, maybe the city lord can wake up as soon as possible, and..."
He paused and didn't finish the rest of his sentence.
But Feng Ci clearly saw what he wanted to say from his eyes.
—And, as long as Feng Ci stays, he doesn't need to risk his life to come here every day to add medicine to Pei Qianyue.
It seems really scary.
