Chapter 139: Dreams Are Not Dreams
I woke up in an instant, my consciousness was foggy, there was a faint bloody breath floating on the tip of my nose, and there was only a dim light and shadow around me. *With *dream* small* say wwwlā
My hands and feet seemed to be fixed by something, and I struggled a few times to no avail.
Where is this? I'm still dreaming?
In the darkness, there seemed to be a flash of light and fire in the eyes, and a cold and gloomy voice slowly floated in, sharply touching the eardrums.
"Mrs. Zhang, don't you say it yet?"
I'm cold, this voice ......
"What is the price of silence, I'm afraid you still don't know enough, ma'am. ”
That's right, this voice is Zhao Gao! In a shock, he realized that his hands and feet were tied and fixed by ropes.
Hearing him smile weirdly: "But I also want to thank Jiu Rensi for helping the trouble, Confucianism has been wiped out by the empire." ”
A sorrow suffocating from nowhere, nerves like straight strings about to break, and the cells in the body seemed to tremble with fear.
A voice in my heart was hysterical: Did I kill them?
It won't be like this, it will definitely not be like this! Confucianism....... little sage Zhuang....... as well as Senior Brother in Head, Senior Brother Zilu, and Senior Uncle Xun, their martial arts are so profound, they will definitely be able to escape! But what does he mean by fueling the troubles? What does it mean!
I had a splitting headache, and the space around me was shattered, twisted together, and pulled me away in an instant. In a trance, it seemed to return to the moment when he traveled through time and space, falling rapidly, the starlight shattered, the black clouds were dark, and the light and shadow were splashed.
"It's not me!
I gasped heavily, my thoughts were confused, and my whole body was hot, but I was covered in a cold sweat, and my ears were filled with anxious questions from the maids.
"Lord Kurenji...... Are you alright?"
His fingers were still unconsciously clutching the sheets, and he didn't let go until he was a little clear. He grabbed the warm water handed by the maid and poured it down in one go.
"Are you awake?" I looked around and tapped my head a few times, finally convinced that I had just woken up.
It turned out that it was really just a dream! It was so good that I was relieved, I closed my eyes and let out a long sigh of relief, but tears suddenly came out of my eyes, and I couldn't stop it. How glad I was that all the panic was illusory, but why was it so real, really terrible....... as soon as I closed my eyes, those fragments kept flashing back in my mind, so vivid that I could recall all the details.
"Lord Jiurensi, do you want to pass on the imperial doctor?"
When I came back to my senses, I realized that my hysterical appearance must be very scary, and I quickly wiped away my tears and explained, "It's okay, it's just a nightmare." ”
I looked up at the sky outside the window, and it was already bright.
"What time is it?"
"It's time. "Without waiting for me to ask again, the maid reported, "Last night, Lord Luna sent the Jiu Ren Division back, and the Moon God explained the time of the memorial has confirmed that she will report to His Royal Highness the Son on behalf of the Jiu Ren Division, please ask the Lord Jiu Ren Si to have a good rest." ”
"Okay, I got it. ”
I nodded, asked them all to step back, and sat alone for a long time before I could get back the soul I had just lost. I think I should have put that terrible dream behind me, and the most important thing now is to contact them. It's just that the mirage is huge, and I can't find it, plus the Fusang leaf doesn't have any clues, I can't help but worry, will it be as the star soul said, don't think about it if you go in the maze place?
I can't make a big deal without a clear clue, lest I get too suspicious. The only friend here is Yuqin, so I chatted with her and walked around the mirage to see what clues there were. In fact, she has just come to the mirage, and her understanding of the situation here is really limited, but she has obtained important information, she saw the three of Tianming appear on the mirage yesterday, and fight against the big boss on the deck. Although Tianming and the others were not the opponents of the Great Division, they suddenly disappeared out of thin air in the end and avoided the fatal attack of the Great Division. Yuqin then understood why Fusu would never allow her to have anything to do with Confucianism, and also understood the reason why Fusu visited Confucianism last time. She couldn't help but sigh that the boy who used to dance with silk and bamboo and laugh and play turned out to be a rebel wanted by the empire.
Speaking of this, we are all a little silent, the corridor of idle clouds is deep and quiet, and our thoughts are also winding along the road in front of us.
I couldn't help but stop until I passed by an open-air courtyard where several tall kapok trees grew. There are also many such kapok in Xiaoshengxian Village, the breeze blows, and the cotton wool sprinkled with it raises Zhang Liang's melodious flute, and it is he who silently guides every move and style of my swordsmanship.
I looked at it for a while, and Yuqin didn't ask me anything, just like me, quietly enjoying the scenery in front of me.
What is a bosom friend, that's it, she seems to understand why I don't say a word and why I stop here.
"Princess, didn't you question me?"
I asked abruptly, and she looked at me sideways for a moment, and the fine cotton wool scattered on her shoulders floated gently and slowly scattered along the arc of her clothes.
She smiled slightly again, as if she felt something, and sighed: "I only know that you are a friend who treats me sincerely, not to mention that the imperial brother has already checked Confucianism and has made a conclusion." In this world, who is who doesn't want to hurt my spirits, I just want to ......"
In the future, her father and her brothers and sisters will all be killed by that one person, and then she and me, she and Yan Lu, and we will all be in the same camp. Is this sad or happy for her?
I sighed, pulled out a wicked smile again, and raised my eyebrows at her, "What does the princess only want? I just want our family to be gentle and considerate Senior Brother ....... Zilu, right!?"
Yuqin's cheeks flew a red glow, and he lowered his head and took out Yan Lu's jade pendant: "Mrs. Zhang, you tell me the truth, is this jade pendant he really wants to give me?"
"Eh....... this, this is indeed a confirmation handed down by Senior Brother Zilu's ancestors, and it is brought with me every day, isn't this already very revealing? . I stared at her increasingly hot face, fanning the flames and said, "Senior Brother Zilu usually talks little, and he doesn't say anything~ When the two of you play the piano together, didn't the princess feel what he hid in his heart and couldn't speak.......
She looked away: "Okay, don't make fun of it. ”
I leaned into her ear and said, "Princess, if you say no, I don't believe it. ”
"And ......."
"But Princess, there is something I don't know whether to ask or not. Does Lord Li Si have any intention of kissing the princess?"
Yuqin's face changed, and the paleness could not hide the gloom that flashed in it.
"How did Mrs. Zhang know?"
I laughed dryly: "Guess....... didn't the son of Lord Li Si's family marry several princesses? And last time in Confucianism, you came forward to help Senior Brother Zilu speak in front of so many people, and it was obvious to see how embarrassed his face was. ”
Yuqin's pale face turned red again: "Mrs. Zhang, you still make fun of me!"
"What's the ...... In fact, Senior Brother Zilu was also very moved. ”
Yuqin's eyes glared at me with a hint of joy and a hint of annoyance.
I waved my hand and explained, "I mean, I'm really touched! He just doesn't express it, but it's okay I can help him express it, and he'll thank me for doing him a great favor in the future!"
"Mrs. Zhang!" Yuqin warned, suddenly reaching over and scratching my waist a few times.
She actually knew that I was most afraid of itching, so I quickly hunched over and avoided it.
"Obey the princess, I really won't say it!"
"I didn't expect it to work. ”
"Works?"
"Mr. Zhang Liang said, if you don't listen to the persuasion, Madame, you can grasp your vital point. ”
"To ...... harm?"
Yuqin smiled lightly and said mysteriously: "I'm afraid of itching." ”
There was a drop of sweat on my head: "Why does he even say such trivial things?......!
Yuqin's eyes were bright and sharp, and she seemed to have realized something, and said slightly: "Mr. Zhang Liang also hopes that Mrs. You can smile more." ”
My heart warmed: "Princess, thank you for being here with me." ”
"I should thank you, it's not because of you, I've already returned to Xianyang, how could the imperial brother allow me to stay in Songhai. ”
"Well, if the princess really wants to thank me, teach me to play the flute. I smiled astringently, took out my flute, and set up a stance.
"This must be Mr. Zhang Liang's flute, right?"
"Yes, he lied to me that he wanted to teach me how to play the flute, and he knocked me out before he could play. He's always like that, he doesn't bother to teach me anything......"
I grumbled, but the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl. Yuqin stared at me, looking like she could see through my thoughts, and her eyes were gentle and a little playful.
The future will be too unbearable for her, and her smile at the moment has become extremely precious in my eyes, just like the begonia flowers that bloom carefully in the rain, delicate and bright but I don't know how much wind and rain they can withstand, whether they can bloom after the rain, and smile lightly in the blue water.
Now that I have more opportunities, I can slowly plan how to take the princess away, and when I leave the empire, I hope it will also be the day when the princess and Yan Lu will be reunited.
===
The next day, the leaves of Fuso finally changed.
"Medicine?" must refer to the place where Yun Zhongjun placed the herbs.
If you want to go to them, you must get rid of the maid who follows them, but somehow, they seem to have become more alert in the past two days than in the first day.
"I want to walk around alone, you can just take a break, relax, and don't have to work hard. ”
"My lord, the slave and maid dare not slack off. ”
"It's okay, I'll allow you to be lazy. I casually persuaded, quickened my pace, and thought about getting rid of them with speed around the corner.
"Lord Jiurensi!" After two plops, they suddenly knelt down with a panicked expression, "Please don't embarrass the slave maid, the day before yesterday, Lord Star Soul knew that you went out alone and had already warned you, if we let Lord Jiurensi walk around alone and not follow closely, if the adult mistakenly broke into the maze of the mechanism, the slave maid's life would be lost." ”
"Lives in jeopardy?"
They trembled and trembled, and said in trembling voices: "My lord doesn't know, not only is it the life of the slave and maid, but if we are handed over to Yun Zhongjun, it is worse than death." ”
I was a little uneasy and a little curious: "What will Yun Zhongjun do with you?"
"Anyone who makes a mistake will be locked up in a room, and there will be no daylight, no one will be a ghost, and we will hear from others, no one knows what happened to the people in the house, and none of the people who went in came out again. ”
A chill came to their hearts, Yun Zhongjun was simply the embodiment of the devil in everyone's hearts, and it was also painful for them to suffer physically and mentally in the mirage.
"So scary?"
"If the adult insists on being alone, we have to tell the Star Soul, and the slave family is really forced to do so, please have mercy on the adult!"
I said decisively, "Okay, go back to your room." ”
"Thank you for your mercy!"
"No thanks! As soon as you said it, I suddenly felt that this mirage was gloomy, and there was no mood to shake up. ”
I went back to my room, and under the pretext that I liked plain clothes, I ordered someone to take a set of virgin's white dress, closed the door, and told me that no one should disturb me, saying that I was suddenly very unwell, and my head began to ache sharply, and I had to rest first. I had just fainted the day before yesterday, and they naturally believed it and did not have the slightest suspicion.
I didn't expect the Star Soul to threaten the lives of these maids, it may just be a consistent punishment, but it is indeed a very successful threat to me. Letting others be thrown to that devilish cloud to be tortured because of me is really beyond the moral bottom line of our modern people. Besides, these maids look like innocent girls, how can they be the flowers of the motherland in modern society, my conscience makes me unbearable.
So this time I can only go out behind their backs, in case I show my feet, there is still room for intercession, I just sneaked away, and they don't know.
But how to escape from prison has also become a problem, there are people outside the window and door, I seem to only have the possibility of going out through the skylight, but the roof of the mirage building is high, the room is imposing, but how do I fly up?
I glanced around, found a few focus points, stabilized my mind, and prepared to hover through the four walls in one go.
I rushed into the air in one breath, unintentionally looked down, this look also made me panic, looking down from above this height is really a bit high, falling down is not a joke, but it is this flash of thought that caused me to step on the air so sadly, I can't resist gravity and fall straight down.
At the last moment, a flash of inspiration, the internal instability simply released, set off a small wind circle around the body, although I was a little dizzy by the air waves tossed by myself, but finally did not make a hard landing, and fell on the bed very accurately. I gasped, but fortunately I reacted quickly, otherwise I really couldn't explain it, and I would have tossed and injured myself in the room.
I calmed down, first meditated for half a moment to adjust the internal breath, and silently recited the key to light work in my heart, and the body movement was based on the heart, from the outside to the inside, from the real to the virtual, from the rigid to the soft......
Suddenly, what flashed in my mind was the picture of Zhang Liang teaching me light skills in the library, and my heart was pulled tightly. The empty palm, without his temperature, the strength of his clenching, he is still not used to it......
couldn't help but smile bitterly, the library building was several times higher than this, and he was pulled by him to jump down without saying a word, without him, he was so frustrated?
I took a few deep breaths, regained my strength, and couldn't even do a light feat, and I didn't even have the ability to escape for my life in such a world.
I should have paid too much attention to whether my feet were stable or not, and now what I should do is to let go of all my senses that will only produce distracting thoughts, and concentrate on my goal.
I breathed deep and long, as far as I could, not sluggish, not too late, and jumped up again. The surrounding qiē suddenly seemed to slow down in time, and the details of the qiē that had originally flashed by were seen more clearly, and the steps under his feet were therefore determined and calm, and the toes touched the object as soon as they left, and they went up with the trend. What is called flying cornices walking on the wall like walking on the ground, today I seem to have found a little bit of chic and elegant feeling.
Turning out the skylight, I followed the hints of Fusang Ye to find their directions. Although I don't know where the herbs are placed, Shi Lan has said that this kind of witchcraft, the closer the two are, the more obvious the corresponding changes will be. I tried four directions, and sure enough, the words on it only became deeper in one direction and lighter in all other directions. I really have to admire the witchcraft of Shushan, this level is almost comparable to the GPS positioning system!
===
Without much effort, I found the large warehouse where the mirage was used to store medicinal materials, which was simply shocking.
As if stepping into the vast sky, the tall arched dome expands a vast and lofty space, and the rows of medicine cabinets are lined up one after another as if there is no edge at all, and the countless square drawers on it are classified into various medicinal materials, which is really a super giant treasure house!
The boys and girls were busy going back and forth, and there were some guards patrolling, and I had already changed the virgin's clothes and it was not eye-catching, and I was amazed and hurriedly learned to rummage through the medicinal herbs.
Seeing that the guard had walked a few steps away, he had just wanted to change his position to find someone, but he didn't want to turn around and bump into a virgin.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I quickly apologized.
This virgin is masked with a white veil, red ribbon tied on both sides of her hair and a few bows, very cute, a pair of big watery eyes looked at me and blinked twice, I suddenly felt that this style is quite familiar.
A weird thought jumped on the ground, this guy can't be Tianming!
"Third Master, you don't know me, I'm Tianming. He whispered, as if it was my fault for not recognizing him.
"It's weird that you can recognize you when you wear it like this!"
"Hey, don't mention it, it's really bad luck today, I only found girls' clothes. ”
"It's okay, it's good-looking. "I was a little distrauded, and it occurred to me that there was another guy who was ....... him too
"Tianming, what about Shaoyu?"
"It's secluded over there and it's easy to talk, and they're all waiting there. ”
I nodded, and I was still a little looking forward to what the overlord of Western Chu, who was only a teenager but also an iron man, would look like in women's clothes? I don't know what kind of style it will be......
