26. Chapter XXVI
Zhuang Feng took Bi Yuewu to follow Cheng Xueyi back the same way, and after passing through the tunnel where the corpses were hung, he came to the place where they had fallen before.
Cheng Xueyi touched the earthen wall, touched the raised piece, and pressed it.
A row of stone steps appeared in front of her, and she looked at her clenched right hand, gritted her teeth, and stepped up the stone steps.
At the end of the stone steps was a room where a woman lived, and Cheng Xueyi went up and twisted a piece of porcelain on the bookshelf.
Then the bookshelf turned on its own, blocking the secret passage with stone steps, and now the room looked ordinary, and there was no way to see that there was a secret passage here.
It just so happened that the rooster crow broke dawn at this time, and the skin on Cheng Xueyi's body also returned to its original state with the rooster crow in the yard, but the pale and bloodless face and the dark green Yin Tang made her look very bad.
She took out a small porcelain bottle from the drawer, carefully stuffed the two insects in her hand into the bottle, and hid the bottle close to her.
There was a knock at the door, and a woman said respectfully outside the door, "Madam, I am Fei Qing." ”
"Enter. ”
Fei gently pushed open the door, and immediately closed the door, looking at the haggard and dirty lady in front of her, she seemed to have seen it many times, and she was not surprised at all.
She has also regained normal human skin now, and looks no different from normal people.
She hesitated for a moment before she spoke, "Madame, have you touched my door before?" ”
"Who will have nothing to do with your door?" Cheng Xueyi looked very in a bad mood, and she waved her hand to beckon Fei lightly.
"Probably those two pretending to be ghosts are here, otherwise who else?"
Cheng Xueyi didn't notice Feiqing's ugly face, she looked at the faint morning light that had been shining in through the window, and she ordered: "You clean up for me first, I will have something to do when it is dawn." ”
"Madame doesn't sleep anymore?" Usually, after Madame goes down, she will definitely make up for sleep when she comes back.
"No, I have something. ”
"Madam, when those two people saw the appearance of my dry corpse, would they tell the prince?" Fei Qing asked while making hairpin jewelry for Cheng Xueyi.
Cheng Xueyi looked at the drooping eyes of the people around her reflected in the bronze mirror, sneered, and said, "What is there to be afraid of? Those two people have to die today, how can I." ”
Fei Qing smiled at this time, and carefully combed Cheng Xueyi's already unkempt hair.
Cheng Xueyi looked at herself in the bronze mirror indifferently in a dark color.
She suddenly spat out a sentence: "I've had enough of this life too." ”
"Ma'am?"
"It's okay, I'm just complaining. ”
On that side, Zhuang Feng and Bi Yuewu did not follow Cheng Xueyi, but flew up directly from the ground, passed through the giant tree, and appeared in the courtyard.
At this time, most of the people in the whole house were still asleep, only the faint sound of insects chirping and the breeze blowing through the leaves.
Zhuang Feng suddenly spoke: "When it is dawn, we will go to find that prince." ”
Bi Yuewu tried and found that she could speak, she asked a little strangely, "Why didn't we fight that Lu directly just now?"
Zhuang Feng seemed to be a little tired, he put Bi Yuewu down, and leaned against a tree to close his eyes.
"I can't beat him there. ”
Bi Yuewu repeated in surprise: "Can't beat it?"
Since the other party is trapped there, his ability should be weakened a lot. She really couldn't imagine that Zhuang Feng, who was almost omnipotent in her heart, would not be able to defeat a zombie imprisoned underground.
"The one who is not sanctioned by the Heavenly Dao, is out of reincarnation, but is just ......" Zhuang Feng said at the end, his voice faintly inaudible.
Bi Yuewu tugged at Zhuang Feng's sleeve and urged, "Just what?"
"Nothing. ”
The little zombie looked at Zhuang Feng's side face and bit her lip, she always felt that Zhuang Feng was getting more and more strange now, as if she knew something but refused to tell her, looking like she wanted to say something.
Zhuang Feng continued to explain: "If that Lu just now was locked up underground at that time, and he could still make a country drought, then he must also have some magical powers. What he said just now is not a lie, but he doesn't know what kind of means the people or immortals who subdued him used......
Bi Yuewu looked at Zhuang Feng who was gushing in front of her, like a fish bone stuck in her throat, but her face became more and more pale when she listened to Zhuang Feng's words.
She interrupted the other party in a loud voice: "Zhuang Feng, do you feel that your personality has become a little strange since you came to the palace?"
Although she and Zhuang Feng have not been together for a long time, Zhuang Feng's nostrils look at people's arrogant and arrogant character has always been deeply rooted in her heart, in her eyes Zhuang Feng has always been a bad temper but considerate companion, but now she feels more and more that the other party's body is like injecting two souls.
But these two souls are not separated, they are glued together, not separated from each other, but influencing each other. She didn't know why she felt this way, but she just felt that if it was the previous pretense, she would not have said those words just now.
The tone of those words made her involuntarily think of an old man in the fairy world.
"I know. What made Bi Yuewu strange was that Zhuang Feng actually admitted it.
A flash of purple light flashed in Zhuang Feng's eyes, and he sneered: "So if I don't go to the Demon Realm again, my soul will will gradually disappear." ”
He stared at Bi Yuewu with both eyes, like a predator staring at his prey, which made people feel numb when he saw it, and he said: "If there really is that time, it will not be me standing in front of you." ”
"What do you mean?" Bi Yuewu's voice was much higher with excitement, she didn't care if it would attract others, but tugged on Zhuang Feng's sleeve and looked at him anxiously.
Zhuang Feng looked at his grabbed sleeves, his eyes were slightly warm, and he said, "So I won't let my consciousness disappear." ”
"What do you mean, I mean?"
Zhuang Feng didn't seem to hear Bi Yuewu's words, and continued to say the previous words: "Because of some things, my mana is getting weaker and weaker now, I'm afraid that if I really destroy that thing underground, I will waste a lot of strength, and the gains outweigh the losses." So I'm going to go to the top of that waterhole and cast a formation and force myself to break through the formation below. Once Lu is on the surface, I have a way to kill him. ”
"Little zombie, what do you think?"
And he avoided her questions, and if it weren't for the fact that she had been in trouble for so long, she would have bothered to talk to him.
"You answer my words first!" The little zombie couldn't suppress her anger, she looked at Zhuang Feng's flawless and expressionless side face, and really wanted to ruin this face with a claw.
Zhuang Feng smiled rarely, either the usual sneer and mocking laughter, or the heartfelt laughter of ordinary people.
Before Bi Yuewu could recover from Zhuang Feng's rare smile, he found that he couldn't move again, and the culprit who couldn't move walked in front of him at this time and carried her on his back.
"It's this trick again, what else will you do besides this trick to keep people from moving?"
As soon as the words fell, the little zombie found that he could not speak again.
She was angry, but she couldn't make a sound, couldn't move, and could only watch Zhuang Feng leave the palace with her, walking on the lonely street.
Zhuang Feng didn't wait for Bi Yuewu to ask a question in his mind, and began to explain: "Let's go to the waterhole first. ”
She replied with a "yes" in her mind.
Looking at the lonely streets, and the brighter and brighter stars in the sky, I quietly listened to the heartbeat coming from below.
I don't know how long I walked, Zhuang Feng said, "It's here." ”
Coming back to her senses, Bi Yuewu looked at the "Guanxin Pavilion" on the door plaque in front of her in surprise.
This small and seemingly simple and deserted house is the residence of the national teachers of the past dynasties, and every grass and tree here is familiar to her, but now it seems that the people who live in the house have left, and spiders, insects and other small animals have settled here.
In the past, the national teacher liked her, and often invited her to come to the Guanxin Hall, and looking at the depression in front of her, her heart immediately swelled with indescribable sadness.
If what those people in the restaurant said was right, then the kind old man she remembered was probably gone.
She had always thought that the national teacher was coerced by Cheng Xueyi, or that she was really in the drought of the country because of her. Now I realized that the old man had quietly left before she knew it.
Zhuang Feng pushed open the door that had been sealed for a long time, and there was still a dilapidated scene inside.
In the middle of the courtyard there was a very small altar with a large crack in it, on which were carved twenty-eight nakshatras. On the right-hand side is an old tree, under which are a few smooth stones and a larger stone, which serve as tables and chairs. In front of it is an old house that looks a little old, and it looks no different from the house where ordinary people live. It's just that this qiē in the courtyard is like a picture scroll covered with a thick layer of dust, and it looks very dilapidated.
Bi Yuewu still remembers that when she was a child, she came here and played with the children of the national teacher.
It was a little boy who cried at every turn, with big eyes and long eyelashes that looked much more delicate than the average girl.
She remembered the first time she saw the child, the altar was still intact. At that time, he was punished by the national teacher to stand, and while punishing, he carried bitter and difficult ancient books. The national teacher was very harsh on his only child, and when the child was only seven or eight years old, he made him memorize some books that ordinary adults could not understand.
She still remembered that when she came over, the old national teacher waved his hand to signal that the child who was wiping the corner of his eye was punished.
The old man looked at the child with an overly earnest look and said, "Don't blame me, this is your fate, if I don't urge you harshly, what will happen to Jueguo after I leave in the future?"
The child nodded with a pair of rabbit-like crying eyes, and after being touched by the old man's hair, he was gently pushed in the direction of Bi Yuewu.
"You're the same age, so let's play together. With that, the old man stretched and went back to his room.
The child obediently came and took her by the hand, took her by the hand, and led her to sit on the stone under the tree.
