"Wake up, wake up......" Ahri was asleep when she was suddenly woken up by a rush of voices, as if a group of women were constantly arguing in her ears. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"What's the situation?" Ahri opened his eyes and saw that the room was dark and nothing abnormal, and he thought he was dreaming, but he was really sleepy, so he closed his eyes again.

"Wake up, wake up quickly......" As soon as he closed his eyes, the voice sounded again, is there really a ghost? Whatever, even if the Heavenly Master will hang high, Zheng Yuanqi will not stand idly by, Ahri is ready to turn over and fall asleep again, but the voice is getting faster and faster, and it is really difficult for her to fall asleep.

Since he couldn't sleep, he turned over and went to the ground, turned back into a human body and stretched his waist, just in time to see a golden and bright full moon hanging on the treetops outside the window, it turned out that he didn't sleep for long, the moon just rose here, Ahri turned around to find some water to drink, and suddenly realized that something was wrong the moment he turned around!

The day before yesterday on the winter solstice, she went out and met the masked man, and clearly remembered that the moon that night was a crescent moon like a hook, how could it be a full moon today!

Ahri felt that something was wrong, so he went to wake up Lu Gongzi, but found that there was no one on the bed at all! Something was shining red on the neatly folded bedding, it turned out to be a note, and Ahri automatically burned when he touched it, and the four words in the firelight flashed red and turned into ashes, asking for more blessings!

Before Ahri could react to what it meant to ask for more blessings, the note in his hand had turned to ashes, and as the last bit of light was extinguished, a powerful demonic aura appeared out of thin air, and Ahri fled to the clouds in panic.

Leaning down and looking down, the demon mist is filled, although the stretch is not very wide, but the layers have a tendency to rise. Asking for more blessings, is it to test her? Yes, she has been studying spells for a while, and Lu Gongzi is most likely going to accept the results of her learning during this time. There is such a powerful demonic aura here, neither she nor Zheng Yuanqi can feel it, presumably Lu Gongzi has suppressed the demonic qi a long time ago, it is really well-intentioned, since it is to test her, Zheng Yuanqi is afraid that he will not come out to help her. But Ahri is not afraid, although she lacks experience in the battle, how can the dignified gods be afraid of monsters.

Ahri slowly descended, deep into the layers of demon mist, for the sake of insurance she still built a fairy barrier, the demon mist faintly revealed golden light. It reminded her of the "moon" that suddenly disappeared from earlier.

A little lower, Ahri finally saw the source of the golden light, it was indeed a moon, but it was much larger than just now, hanging a few feet above the ground, constantly spinning.

What kind of monster is this? Ahri has never heard of such a strange demon, and then look at the direction, the following is no longer a hundred flower building, but a huge pool, the water in the pool is churning violently, under a closer look, it is found that the wisps of golden light from the pool are directly drawn to the rotating "moon", in the blink of an eye, the "moon" is bigger again, is it from the pool to absorb these golden light will slowly become larger?

Ahri descended to the edge of the pool, reached out to touch the golden light like thin lines, but did not expect that the light was substantial, and there was some resilience, Ahri ripped off a strand and held it in his hand, and couldn't help but be surprised, this is clearly human hair! Whose hair is this? I didn't have time to think about it, Ahri grabbed a strand of hair and pulled it hard, there was really something for her to pull up, it was the head of a young woman, it looked like she had just died......

So much hair...... How many dead people were in this pool? The young woman's skull, a golden light flowed down the hair into the air, and the entire skull decayed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant it had become a skeleton......

Ahri understands that these golden lights are not only the souls of these corpses, but also the essence of their bodies, the dead here must be very young, if mortals die horizontally, their souls will enter the city of death, and the essence of their bodies will not be destroyed, which is also the reason why many monsters are keen to kill. It is true that stealing the essence of mortals is a shortcut to cultivation, but it is a great rebellion against heaven and is bound to be punished by heaven.

"When you meet this princess today, your retribution is coming!" Ahri swept with a palm, sweeping away all the wisps of golden light, and the spinning "moon" had become as big as a wheel, rising to a height of ten zhang. Ahri had long expected that the true body of the monster was inside, and sure enough, as soon as the golden light was broken, it immediately stopped spinning, stretched out dozens of tentacles and rolled towards Ahri like eyes.

Ahri stood still, letting the tentacles wrap around her, and the dense tentacles became more and more, until finally Ahri was wrapped like a cocoon, and the tentacles began to contract, and Ahri was swept into the golden wheel.

The wheel-like gold ball was not solid, its surface was layered with layers of tangled gold wires, and in order to suck Ahri inside, the gold wires parted a gap, leaking a touch of blood red inside......

Suddenly, the golden silk cocoon that wrapped Ahri moved, and a white light eroded through the layers of gold wires, hitting the blood-red monster.

Ahri's soul-killing technique was not practiced in vain, and only one move beat the monster to lose its demonic nature, and in an instant, the golden light was gone, and the demon fog disappeared, Ahri stretched out his right hand, and there was a golden needle in his hand, and the eye of the needle had been broken.

The rooster cries five drums, the east is white, Ahri looks around, and finds that this is in the Tianxiang Building between a wall, it should be Fanghua Embroidery Garden.

When he returned to Tianxiang Tower, he was about to push the door in, when suddenly the door next to him opened, and Zheng Yuanqi came out of the house refreshed.

Ahri was just about to greet him, and was surprised to find that he had not changed back to the appearance of a scholar, but fortunately, Zheng Yuanqi came out of the house and closed his eyes and breathed out the morning air, and Ahri took the opportunity to sneak back into the house.

"Are you back?" Lu Gongzi was leaning on the side of the bed as if he had a good night's sleep, Ahri chose not to bother with him, and proudly showed him the broken needle in his hand.

"Great, although it took a little longer, it was a big win after all."

"What does it mean that it takes a little longer, I'm already very fast, okay, it's so tightly wrapped, I always have to wait for the opportunity to hit the enemy."

"That's right," Lu Gongzi nodded, "Actually, its shell is not too hard, if you have a weapon in your hand, you will definitely be able to split it whole."

Ahri was not happy, and pouted, "It's easy to say, the question is where is my weapon? Didn't you promise to give me a weapon?"

"Weapons, sooner or later. Lu Gongzi got up and dressed, "But now it's time for us to go to breakfast."

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and the shop that sold breakfast had just opened, and the two of them sat at a small table, with steamed buns and gruel, looking at the Fanghua Embroidery Garden opposite, and only then did they talk about the monster.

"Is it a needle demon? I didn't even know that needles could also be cultivated into a demon. In her impression, only birds, animals, grass, trees, insects, and fish can be cultivated into demons, because they are alive, and she doesn't understand how dead things can become demons.

"Everything in the world can become a demon, those artifacts are dead, but the person who uses it pours emotion into it, it is no longer dead, this emotion gives the artifact spirituality, when this spirituality accumulates to a certain extent, the dead thing can also open the mind, become alive, and become a demon over time. ”

"I've heard a little bit about the needle's origin. Lu Gongzi took a sip of porridge like drinking tea, "It is said that this Fanghua Embroidery Garden has been established for more than 100 years, its founder is an embroiderer with excellent embroidery, her embroidery art is unparalleled in the world, even the emperor at that time had summoned her, named her the Golden Finger Lady, and gave her a gold needle." ”

"Is this one?" Ahri took the golden needle in his hand, only to see that it was as thin as a hair, no more than an inch long, and said in his heart that this emperor is a person who can live, how much gold can be spent on this point?

"It is said that the lady of the golden finger, who lived until she was over 90 years old, could still embroider the most exquisite silk scrolls, but she could only embroider them with this gold needle, so everyone said that the golden needle given by the royal family brought her blessings."

"Actually, at that time, this needle had spirituality," Ahri said thoughtfully, "Do you mean that Mrs. Goldfinger poured a lot of emotion into using this needle, so this needle became spiritual, and even if Madame was old and dizzy, it could still embroider silk rolls by itself?"

"Yes, although these mortals did not know this truth, they also believed that this needle was magical, so after the death of Lady Goldfinger, they did not follow her last wish and bury it with the golden needle, but kept it as the treasure of the town. ”

"So it became a demon later? It's only been a hundred years, and it's not easy for it to be able to cultivate so powerfully. "Even the wolf stewards in the Heavenly Master's Mansion have been cultivating for four or five hundred years.

"It's not that simple," Lu Gongzi shook his head and said, "The demons made of artifacts are different from ordinary demons, whether they are birds, animals, plants, trees, insects, and fish, they all have their nature, and their nature largely determines the good and evil of the demons." But the demons of artifacts are different, they have no nature, and their good and evil are man-made. According to my speculation, it should be that after the death of Mrs. Golden Finger, no one in the embroidery girl of Fanghua Embroidery Garden can reach the realm of Mrs., even if she uses Mrs. Jin's gold needle, she still can't embroider the same exquisite embroidery. When the human power is not enough, they will think of asking God for divination, and at this time, someone has come up with a vicious solution for them. ”

"What's the solution?"

"Living sacrifice, with the flesh and blood of the living to worship this needle, in order to ensure that the Fanghua Embroidery Garden can embroider the best embroidery. I heard that every three years, Fanghua Embroidery Garden will choose three unmarried women with good embroidery and good appearance, enter the garden to be a gold needle embroiderer, and if you do a gold needle embroidery, you can no longer go home, and you have to live in the garden all your life, and outsiders have never seen them again. ”

"Do you mean, those gold-needle embroiderers have been sacrificed to live sacrifices? For more than 100 years, more than 100 young women have made sacrifices, and no one has found out? No one has ever doubted them? What about the girls and their families?"

At this time, the sky was already bright, there were more people walking on the street, and they had almost eaten, so they got up and wandered around the street, passing by several archways, all of which were given to Jinzhi County by the emperors of previous dynasties, Lu Gongzi stopped and said slowly: "Have you seen it?" This small city is called Jinzhi County, every household makes a living from embroidery, the shops on this street, the business travel, are doing embroidery business, the whole county and a radius of hundreds of miles, are respected by Fanghua Embroidery Garden, once the daughter of the family chooses the golden needle embroidery girl, the embroidery garden will give her parents a large sum of money, and the county will give a plaque to show the reward. Therefore, everyone wants their daughters to choose the golden needle embroiderer, and be proud of it, who would think about the life and death of those embroiderers? ”

Mortals are here to survive, so what are the gods for? Ahri couldn't figure it out. But after all, he didn't do anything wrong, except for this monster, there will be no more girls who will pay for it in the future. Even if the county is not so prosperous in the future, and people live a more difficult life, there will always be people who will be grateful to her, and it doesn't matter if no one is grateful, at least they are worthy of the women who woke her up in her ear last night.

Throwing the gold needle to the ground, it has no eye for the needle, and it is no longer as good as an ordinary sewing needle.

Fanghua Embroidery Garden has opened its doors, and it still looks so prosperous, but Ahri feels that at a glance it can see the day of its decline.
