Chapter 56
At first glance, I almost reflexively struggled to the surface of the water a few times, I couldn't escape as soon as possible, and then I saw Ji Yunqing, whose limbs were tightly restrained by ink-haired aquatic plants, dragged into the depths of aquatic plants, staring at the direction I came from with a pale face, and the body was stiff and swollen corpses, which were about to be submerged in an instant. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I scolded my mother viciously in my heart, don't want to sleep well for the next few months! Gritting his teeth, while sinking to the bottom of the water, he flashed out a few talismans in his hand and threw them out one after another.
Nine charms floated around me, floating with a subtle light, and the aquatic plants touched them as if they were touching the ice and snow of the warm sun, and melted in an instant.
I was anxious and struggled to swim downstream, pushing away the tangled aquatic weeds one by one. Although he already understood from the moment he hit me into the water that this was not an extremely fierce place, Ji Yunqing was just caught off guard by a sneak attack and blocked the movement of his limbs, so he was dragged to the bottom of the lake with great grievance. He wasn't even in much danger - because he wouldn't drown here at all, and unless there were other ghost cultivators, he would get out on his own after a while. But I was still nervous, I couldn't think of anything else, and I was thinking about saving him all the time.
Maybe it's because I subconsciously always feel that if a person falls into the water, it is a fatal event, and I have to pick it up to be safe.
This is a corpse pool, and the only peculiar thing is that its scale has reached a hundred people. Even without knowing how to be satisfied, he continued to mutilate the pedestrians on the riverbank, but the formation reached saturation, and the ink-haired aquatic plants lost their restraint strength, so that there were seven floating corpses floating on the surface of the water last night, which were noticed.
The water of the corpse pond is of great benefit to both human ghost cultivation and underworld ghost cultivation, so I jumped into the water to feel comfortable instead of feeling cold.
The moat can be used as a corpse pool, which is simply outrageous.
In order to retrieve Ji Yunqing, I inevitably touched and pushed away other floating corpses, and the roots of my teeth were so tight that I was trembling.
When I found Ji Yunqing, the spell had already taken a step to drive away the aquatic plants around him, and my outstretched hand grabbed his wrist, clearly sensing the moment of apprehension and the complexity that flashed when he opened his eyes again and saw me.
After a while, he squinted at me and smiled lightly, innocent and a little sorry.
I laughed so much that I felt better.
Turning around, dragging Ji Yunqing, who refused to take off his coat alive and dead, as heavy as lead, and couldn't swim, went all the way upstream, and even had to use his strength to feed.
When I finally surfaced, the brocade guard on the side took me and Ji Yunqing by hand.
When you get out of the water, your body is heavy. I stepped on the grass of the riverbank, and I sat down with a weak leg and refused to move. After exerting too much force, the whole body seemed to be emptied, but the stomach was extremely nauseous, and I couldn't vomit if I wanted to.
I couldn't even tell if I was more tired or nauseous or cold, but I couldn't say a word when I sat there for a long time.
A shawl was wide enough to wrap me from head to toe as a hood.
Ji Yunqing squatted in front of me, wearing only a relatively thin coat, holding the shawl wrapped around me with both hands, and asked with a half-serious smile: "Gu Yu, this is the first time you have saved me?" ”
The strange thing is that the shawl, which had just been taken off from him, was already dry. Sticking to my cold, wet clothes will maintain my rapidly losing body temperature a little.
I was not angry, and hammered my leg that was starting to cramp and hurt: "What are you going to do by counting this?" ”
He shook his head, and even reached out to pinch my calf in front of everyone, but fortunately, the brocade guards around him knew the difference between men and women and turned their eyes away, so that my face would not burn. And his palms were strong, and when he kneaded it, a warm stream of heat poured out through my clothes, and magically dried my clothes slowly: "It's better for you to be the master in the future, and cover me like today." Tilting his head and smiling, he said, "I'll be good." ”
Ji Yunqing got closer, so close that I couldn't stand it, I didn't dare to look at him, and I didn't push him away because I couldn't stand the biting cool breeze, and said speechlessly: "Master, you may be a little more reliable, don't suddenly say these irresponsible words, I'm very vain." ”
Ji Yunqing laughed again and was silent. When my cramps had passed, Fang got up and walked towards the brocade guard who was standing far away, and ordered things to be in order.
I also faintly heard his voice, and said bluntly: "This is the corpse pool, and the array is not here, so it can't be dealt with for the time being." Now it has to be enclosed around the riverbank, and pedestrians are not allowed to approach, and the Tianjing Palace will take over the investigation of this matter in the future. ”
There were already a few people in the Jinyi Guards who had gone into the water because they wanted to save Ji Yunqing, and they had seen the situation in the water, and when they heard this, although they didn't understand the mysteries of ghost cultivation, they could comprehend it in their hearts, and they quickly took the order.
I just don't know what kind of thoughts they have made in their hearts when they hear these things that Ji Yunqing has never come into contact with, and they have never been in contact with sneaky mortals.
I regained my body temperature, relieved my strength, stood up, walked to the bank of the river, picked up all the coats and shawls I had taken off earlier, and held them in my arms. As for Ji Yunqing's clothes, naturally he should return them to him, otherwise if he is seen, I will be even more unclear about his affairs.
At the same time, he casually glanced at the stable surface of the river, and the base color under the not clear lake water was covered with heavy black gray, which was the color brought by aquatic plants.
It stands to reason that I had already seen the underwater scene and knew that there were hundreds of floating corpses trapped underneath, so it should be reasonable when he saw half of his sunken and shriveled face. But it was that face that made my heart tremble and frightened, inexplicably familiar, but I couldn't remember why I was frightened anyway.
……
I never expected that on the second day of the Lunar New Year, my memory would end here.
When I woke up again, it was already the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Naturally, when I first woke up, I didn't know that I had been asleep for so long, I opened my eyes and looked at my bed, but I also knew the fact that I fainted later, and Ji Yunqing came to my spiritual sea, telling me that because the ghost cultivation I cultivated is a rare "righteous path", I have not been in contact with the most yin and evil things, and the most relied on is the pure and gentle yin and yin qi in the Lechuan grass, and I can't stand the extremely evil in the corpse pool, and make up for the problem, I have to let myself slowly expel the yin and evil impurities that have penetrated into the spiritual sea, And taught me how to do it.
This expulsion is three days. When I woke up again, I found that my state of mind seemed to be much calmer.
After lying down enough, he woke up and wrapped himself in a coat to open the window to breathe.
The snow was still pouring down, and a thick layer had piled up on the patio, which looked fluffy and soft. On the top of the stairs lay a snow-white dog, huddled in a ball, and I would have missed it had it not been for the white fog that came out of his snort.
How can a dog sleep outside the house on such a cold day?
I tightened my clothes and went out to pick it up. As I leaned over, the dog seemed to sense that I was coming, raised its head and waged its tail desperately. When I saw me again, I stretched out my hand, and naturally I got into my arms.
Fortunately, it is still warm.
I tucked the dog in my shawl, and as I got up, I caught a glimpse of a large footprint in the patio, hidden under the fresh snow, going back and forth between me and the opposite wing.
Standing in place for a while, I rubbed the dog's ears and said to myself, "Isn't Master Qin here?" He looked down at the various footprints again, "Could it be that I still have some homework to do, and she is in a hurry to find me?" ”
Master Qin was my only female teacher, who taught me to paint, and because I liked the arrangement of the palace garden, I would occasionally stay in the palace. I'm the only woman in the house, so she always stays in my guest room.
Thinking like this in my heart, I couldn't remember what homework was still missing in my mind, so I took the dog back to the house, flipped through the past schoolwork, sat down on the bookcase and pondered.
When the sky gradually brightened, the door of the house was gently pushed open from the outside, and I came back to my senses and put down the almost finished soles of my shoes: "Axi, come and help me think about it, but I still have homework to do?" ”
"......" No one answered, and the person at the door paused slightly, and walked around the screen towards me.
The footsteps were obviously different from Ah Xi's, and the light in the room was dim, but it did not prevent me from seeing and seeing the slender figure clearly.
"Awake?" His Majesty's voice was soft, not like my shout in silence, and there was a certain tenderness in peace.
I stood up suddenly, "Ah......" I couldn't react for a moment, my heartbeat suddenly increased, and I responded with a "En" in a daze, only then did I remember to adjust my expression, laughed warmly, and greeted him, "Why did my brother come here so early?" ”
His Majesty lowered his eyes, swept his gaze over the needle and thread on my desk, and the calligraphy and paintings scattered on the side, responded with a favor, and then said, "Clean up." ”
When I heard this, my face was hot and ashamed, and I turned around and walked to the table, trying to put the mess in order.
"I'm going to leave for the north in a few days, you come with me." Your Majesty's voice was neither salty nor light, and it sounded behind me.
I made up my mind and turned my head: "To the north?" Pointing to himself, "Me? ”
"Yes."
"Wouldn't it be inconvenient for my brother to take me?" After all, it was the emperor's order to go out to suppress the uprising and rebellion, and I wasn't afraid. But if you bring your own sister to the war, will you be criticized? On second thought, is it not only facing "*" outside, but also sneaky people who are making trouble from it, and need to have an existence like me? "That'...... Is Ji Yunqing going? ”
I'm afraid I won't be able to do it on my own.
