In the evening, Changming came to the stone temple according to the princess's instructions. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 He led the horse around to the back of the stone temple, where there was a large tree with a thick trunk and a crown like an umbrella canopy. Under the canopy, next to the trunk, a slender teenager reclined.

The weather had not yet warmed up, but the boy was only wearing a thin white shirt, which made his body look even more slender and thin.

Changming stopped when he walked five or six steps away from the boy, and saw that the boy was under the tree, his eyes closed, motionless. Are you asleep?" he made a slight noise through his throat.

The boy remained motionless.

He stepped forward and coughed twice. The teenager still didn't respond. It won't be ...... Something happened, Chang Ming's heart moved, and he hurriedly stepped forward to check the young man's breath. His fingers had just touched the boy's nose. The boy suddenly opened his eyes. Frightened, Changming took two steps back.

The boy's eyes were bent into two thin lines, "You don't think I'm dead, do you?" ”

Changming turned his face aside, and although he had met many times, he still had trouble getting used to the boy's overly beautiful face.

"Recently, the loss of spiritual power in the land of Shang has become more and more serious, and many spirits have had accidents. Changming said with a little embarrassment.

Looking at Changming's awkward appearance, the young man supported his cheek with one hand, and the smile in his eyes was even stronger. "It turns out that you will come near me because something happens to me. ”

"Nothing. Chang Ming said stiffly, "It's strange, now that many spiritual creatures in the Shang Kingdom can't maintain their complete bodies, why don't you seem to have anything at all." "The boy is also transformed by spiritual power, it stands to reason that with the weakening of spiritual power, his appearance should change somewhat, not only has it not changed, but it seems to be becoming more and more charming. Changming glanced at the young man and felt numb on his body.

"After all, this is the capital of the Shang Kingdom. Although the high priest could not keep the spiritual power of the entire Shang Kingdom, he still had the ability to keep the spiritual power of the Shang Capital. The boy said, "What? You still can't get used to my face?"

Chang Ming was noncommittal, but his expression gave the answer in his heart.

The young man narrowed his eyes and thought, "It doesn't make sense! This skin was given by your princess, and you have no reason not to like it!"

Changming's face turned red, "I didn't say that the princess gave you a bad face. I just ......" Changming didn't know how to explain, and he didn't know how to explain it, and he didn't bother for a long time, but it just made his face redder.

In the end, he gave up the explanation.

The young man stopped making a long noise, turned to the topic, and asked, "The princess asked you to come, what are your orders?"

The young man's words made Changming stunned. Every time he came to the boy before, he didn't have to speak, and the boy would directly hand him the news or things he needed. He didn't have to speak, and the boy could see his thoughts. Now he's asking himself.

"There's something wrong with your spiritual powers. Chang Ming replied with concern in his tone. Otherwise, how could he not see his own thoughts.

"There's nothing wrong with my spiritual power, it's just become precious, and I don't want to waste it on such a trivial matter as guessing your mind. The boy said in a calm tone.

Changming breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The princess doesn't have any special instructions, just let me give this thing to you." He pulled out a palm-sized piece of wood from his bosom.

The boy took the piece of wood, which was dark red, and there was a semicircle of red strokes in the middle. "What is this?"

"This is made by the princess from the peach tree she planted, and I don't know what it is. The princess said, Shangdu's spiritual power is unstable, your spiritual power is limited, if there is an accident, this peach slice can help you protect yourself. ”

The young man carefully put away the wood chips, and then said to Changming, "Thank you to the princess for me." Also, tell the princess that there has been no change in the people of Shangdu recently, and although they are also paying attention to the return of the princess and the prince, it is obvious that they intend to sit on the wall and watch and reap the benefits. ”

Changming gave the young man a contemptuous look at them. "Got it. After finishing the princess's instructions, he turned around and planned to go back to his life.

"And. Waiting for Changming to lead the horse, the young man was behind him, and said unhurriedly, "Recently, there has been a strange spirit in the capital, they can attach to people's bodies and suck people's spiritual power. This spirit is not deadly, but it is also troublesome to be entangled by them, so be careful. ”

"Me?" Changming turned his head.

"They especially like people like you who have spiritual power and don't know it. ”

Do you mean that you have spiritual power in your body, and that you are not a stone or a beast. Changming didn't understand the meaning of the boy's words. "Can you make it clear?" he asked, after thinking for a long time.

The boy smiled, "Anyway, you be careful." ”

It's equivalent to not explaining. Changming glanced at the young man again, his shoulders shrunk, forget it, no matter, let's get out of here quickly.

……

Leaving the stone temple, Changming got on the horse and returned to the palace. It was getting late, and the streets of Shangdu were much deserted. Along the way, Changming picked up speed while paying attention to his surroundings, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

Back at Qingran's palace, Qing Yao told him that the princess had woken up and that the prince was with her.

"The prince has returned from the palace?" Changming asked nervously, "Is something happening?" and called the prince in such a hurry that no one else followed.

Qing Yao shook her head. The prince didn't say anything. The princess told you to go to her as soon as she returned. ”

"Okay, I'll go. Changming dusted off his body.

……

"Princess, he said, there is no change in Shangdu at present, please rest assured for the time being. Seeing Yu Zimo, Chang Ming reported, "I also gave him something." ”

"Well, good. Yu Zimo leaned on the recliner and listened to Changming's report on the process of meeting the young man.

"I'll go down first. Changming saw the prince and princess together and didn't want to disturb them. He took a step back and turned to get out.

"Wait. Yu Zimo stopped Changming.

Changming hurriedly stopped, but saw Princess Yu Zimo's eyes staring at him tightly. I don't know why, is there anything wrong?"

Yu Zimo didn't speak, his sharp gaze wandered over Chang Ming.

Changming was uncomfortable by the princess, "Princess—"

"Come near me. After staring at Changming for a while, Yu Zimo moved his legs from the recliner to the ground, and said to Changming.

Changming hesitantly glanced at Prince Qingran, who was sitting next to the princess. Qing Ran didn't understand what Yu Zimo was going to do, and watched silently.

Chang Ming took a few steps closer to the princess.

"Come closer. Yu Zimo said to Chang Ming, who was three steps away from him.

Changming hesitated for a moment, obeyed the princess's order, and took one or two steps forward. One step away from the princess.

Yu Zimo suddenly reached out and grabbed Changming's forearm, and then took it into his arms.

Changming was startled, and subconsciously exerted force backwards to prevent his body from pounced on the princess. Then he felt the little arm that was being grabbed by the princess go numb, as if there was some force to pounce on the princess, but it was definitely not his own body.

Qing Ran was also taken aback by Yu Zimo's sudden move, he noticed that Zimo seemed to have caught something from Changming's arm, and then quickly turned sideways, and she slapped the hand that caught the thing on the map on the recliner.

Then he was astonished to see that the image of the land came to life, and it trembled, and uttered a small, high-pitched voice, "Let me go." ”
