Chapter 49: Change
The Demon Realm sent people from the Three Sects to track Han Shen's whereabouts everywhere, but this person seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no news.
This day is the New Year, and Di Kun is carefully holding a yellow peach box in his hand, waiting outside the Lingxiao Dormitory.
"Your Excellency, you are out. Di Kun said to Ling Xiao who pushed the door out.
Ling Xiao's mind was a little dazed, and he replied after a while: "What's the matter?"
"What's wrong with the Lord? Dikun felt something strange and asked.
"It's nothing, I've just practiced the soul suffocator, and I'm just a little tired. ”
"Oh. - The things that the Lord ordered his subordinates to do are already ready. Di Kun respectfully presented the wooden box to Ling Xiao and solemnly explained, "This is the portrait painted by the best painter when the little master was asleep, and then the craftsman was asked to paint the little master's heavenly appearance on this object, carefully made, the subordinates have already seen it, and you will be satisfied this time." ”
Ling Xiao took the wooden box, opened it, and nodded, "Not bad." ”
Ling Xiao looked at the delicate gadgets in the wooden box, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly, and after a while, he closed the wooden box and asked, "Where is the Yuhuang people?"
"The little master has been diligent in practicing since his injury was healed, and now he is breaking into the palace in the seventh house. ”
It's good to be injured, just so desperate, it's really ...... It's the same as her mother's temperament, it's going to be strong. Ling Xiao was a little worried, but also relieved.
"I'm going to see her. He took the wooden box and prepared to walk out of the courtyard of the dormitory, then turned around and asked Di Kun, "Is there a clue to the whereabouts of the Demon Slaying Knife?"
Dikun replied, "Not yet." ”
"The Demon Slayer must be found as soon as possible. Ling Xiao said, "He Lanyuan's hidden dragon sword technique will only get stronger and stronger, and if we want to deal with him, we must find the Demon Killing Sword one step ahead of the Immortal Sect." Only by defeating He Lanyuan will the Immortal Gate fall apart and collapse with one blow. ”
"Yes, Lord. I will ask the disciples of the Three Sects to send more manpower, and let the spies of the Xianmen also step up their investigation. ”
"Uh......" Ling Xiao heard a slight sound, coming from the direction of Chengluan Courtyard. Without saying a word, he immediately flew out of his courtyard and landed in the Chengluan courtyard.
He was so nervous that he didn't knock on the door, and directly pushed the door and entered Feng Zhiling's house.
Feng Zhiling was sweating profusely, and was taking off her clothes, revealing a deep wound more than half a foot long from her right shoulder to her collarbone, the wound was bloody and blurry, like a blunt object. She was sitting on a chair with a few medicine jars on the table, and she was about to give herself medicine when she heard someone push the door and pull her clothes up, only to hit the wound and let out a cry of pain.
"What's wrong?" Ling Xiao's heart rose to his throat, and he hurriedly strode over, put the wooden box in his hand on the table, and forgot for a moment that there was a difference between men and women, and grabbed Feng Zhiling's hand to stop her from trying to cover up the wound.
"I was injured by the iron whip of the iron puppet when I broke into the Earth Demon Palace just now, and the skin was injured, not serious. Feng Zhiling used her left hand to protect the exposed wound.
"Such a deep wound, you say it's not serious, why don't you let Doctor Meng come over and heal your wound?" Ling Xiao said angrily.
"I heard that Dr. Meng went back to her master......
"Ah, it seems to be. Ling Xiao nodded, "...... The Earth Demon Palace is too dangerous, so you still don't want to break into the palace in the future. He picked up the vial and sprinkled the powder on the wound, and a layer of white smoke rose from the wound.
"Hiss......" Feng Zhiling was in pain, and her hand tightly pinched her thigh.
Because of the vicious fight in the Earth Demon Palace just now, and because the wound was too painful, her hair was wet with sweat, the fine hair on her forehead sideburns was attached to her face, her cheeks were red, her eyes were shining with crystal water, and her expression of pain was particularly cute.
Ling Xiao put on the medicine powder, and took the white cloth strip for bandaging to wrap the wound for Feng Zhiling, and suddenly realized that if he needed to wrap the wound, he had to let Feng Zhiling take off the shirt on his right arm.
He looked at Feng Zhiling's bare right shoulder, holding a strip of white cloth in his hand, and suddenly froze. I broke into Feng Zhiling's room without knocking on the door just now, and I didn't think much about it when I saw that she was injured, but now that she was disheveled, she seemed to be a little inconvenient as a man.
Feng Zhiling was originally a little embarrassed, but later found that Ling Xiao only cared about the injury, so she stopped twisting and simply calmly let him take medicine.
Seeing Ling Xiao stunned, she glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ling Xiao's face usually looks like a fierce and cold face, and when he is silent, it is especially intimidating, and he does not dare to approach, Feng Zhiling saw him glancing at himself coldly, as if he was awkwardly turning his head, and said in his heart: Could it be that I said the wrong thing?
Ling Xiao turned his face sideways, put the strip of cloth on the table, and said, "I called Zewu to help you." ”
After saying that, he got up abruptly and walked out of the room.
Zewu bandaged Feng Zhiling's wound and left.
Feng Zhiling took out the big-eyed cute thing in the peach box that Ling Xiao gave her and placed it in the center of the round table.
It was a tumbler in its own right. There are about two fist-sized, like a goose egg, with a simple and interesting appearance, with different expressions drawn on the front and back, one of which is wearing a water-green dress, smiling brightly, and the other is wearing a crimson dress, playfully opening one eye and closing one eye, with a slightly round mouth. There are also thin braids on both sides, the hair is as soft as a real person's hair, and the top of the hair is made of small pearls, crystals, and jade to make some very small hairpin ornaments, which are pearlescent and extremely delicate.
Feng Zhiling can't put down this tumbler. She remembered that Ling Xiao had said that he would give herself a tumbler that looked like herself, but she didn't expect that he would always remember it and take the trouble to ask someone to make it so exquisite.
On the second day, she took the tumbler to Ling Xiao and prepared to thank him.
Ever since Feng Zhiling questioned Ling Xiao's bandaging skills, Ling Xiao hadn't come to Chengluan Courtyard to see her injuries again.
"The Venerable Lord is not here, I went to the Min'an Hall last night and has not come back. The attendant of Ling Xiao's dormitory said.
Why did you go to Min'an Temple? Could it be Ling Long's death day?
Feng Zhiling was curious, and entered the Min'an Hall lightly.
The door was closed, Feng Zhiling was listening to the window outside, and there was no movement inside. She looked through the translucent window screen and saw a tall figure standing in front of the offering table, standing silently with his head bowed and his hands bowed as if he had confessed his mistake.
"Who?" Ling Xiao didn't realize that someone was there until he saw Feng Zhiling's figure cast on the window screen.
Feng Zhiling sighed inwardly, Is my deeds too well hidden, or is Ling Xiao too engrossed?
"It's me, uncle. Feng Zhiling simply pushed the door in, "What are you doing here?"
When Ling Xiao saw Feng Zhiling, as if he had been caught something, he became nervous, he was facing Feng Zhiling sideways, his fingers curled up unconsciously, his face was motionless looking at the direction of the offering platform, and he said coldly: "Why are you here?"
"I was going to look for you in your dormitory, but when I heard that you were here, I came to have a look. Feng Zhiling picked up the tumbler in her hand and smiled, "Thank you for giving me the tumbler, I like it very much, it looks very similar to me, and it is very exquisite." You must have put a lot of thought into it, didn't you? I ......."
"I let Dikun do whatever he wants, don't thank me. Ling Xiao coldly interrupted Feng Zhiling's enthusiastic voice and said, "I still have something to do, so let's go first." ”
Feng Zhiling watched Ling Xiao walk past her, her eyes stepped directly over her, and she went out with her head slightly raised, leaving a gust of cold wind.
"What's going on?I was fine yesterday, why am you so cold to me today?" Feng Zhiling wondered in her heart, "Just because I said he wouldn't bandage?"
Since then, Ling Xiao has no longer appeared in Chengluan Courtyard, Feng Zhiling has seen the busy Ling Xiao in the Tianxiao Palace, and she has glimpsed Ling Xiao in a flash when she broke into the palace in the Earth Demon Palace, but she rarely meets Ling Xiao again, as if all of Ling Xiao's activities have deliberately avoided her.
The chef of Chengluan Courtyard has always been very intimate in cooking her favorite meals, and there is no food such as the Reluo River, the mountain turtle, and the cobra.
Feng Zhiling received Ling Xiao's family-like love from the extreme pain of loss, and now this love seems to be a little unstable, and her heart is a little uneasy.
Fortunately, the hardest days are over. The injuries inflicted on her by those three swords were like a hidden past, hidden in a corner by her. Slowly, she no longer had resentment, and became more peaceful and indifferent - before knowing her true identity, if she had the opportunity to kill Ling Xiao or practice Mingxuan, she would most likely do it happily, wouldn't she?
It's just that the relationship between her and Lan Yuan can never go back to the past.
She has extravagant hopes in her heart, hoping that she will become stronger as soon as possible, and one day, she will let all the wicked people who disturb the peace of the Three Realms get the punishment they deserve, let the grievances and grievances between the immortals and demons more than ten years ago be sorted out, and let all the past hatred be buried.
In order to make her extravagant hopes come true, she put all her emotions, good and bad, on the cultivation of spells, and she didn't think much about Ling Xiao's sudden indifference - Ling Xiao didn't see her except for not seeing her, he no longer taught her to practice in person, and he even sent a few more people to serve her in the Luan Courtyard, and often went to the Earth Demon Palace to quietly watch her practice.
Since Feng Zhiling broke through the seventh palace, it was like a sudden enlightenment, and the progress of breaking into the palace has improved by leaps and bounds. Everyone else is stuck in the seventh house, and it is difficult to enter the next house, but she seems to be more comfortable at the high palace level, and in just three months, she broke through the ninth house.
Earth, Feng, Shuihuo, and others were stunned by her progress.
It was another sun, and at noon, Ling Xiao was feeding the soul choke in the secret room as usual. Black ghosts burst out of the Soul Eater, these Soul Eater ghosts that had been sealed for three hundred years, exuding a cold glow, overlapping and filling the entire secret room.
Somehow, these ghosts suddenly became restless, and suddenly, one of the biggest ghosts crashed into the right side of Ling Xiao's head, and flew out from the left side, while the other ghosts sucked his true essence out of order, disturbing his true qi. He sent the true qi in his body into the soul choke and pressed the soul eater ghost back into the wedge, but he felt that his divine consciousness was suddenly a little uncertain.
Two hours later, Ling Xiao came out of the secret room, and at this time, Di Kun hurriedly came to report: "Lord, the little master has not come out since he entered the tenth palace yesterday......"
