Chapter 104: Moon Spirit Lodge Body!
Chapter One Hundred and Four: The Body of the Moon Spirit Lodges!
After arranging Xu Lin'an, Li Yiqi found a carriage and left the East Palace, heading straight to a street in Nancheng.
In the carriage, Li Yiqi was sitting precariously, his eyes closed, and he hurried to practice the "Six Pillars", but Jin Ling's voice came from his head: "Boy, don't you believe in the judgment of the deity? The person before was born against the bones, and if he was a courtier, he would eat the king! If he was a disciple, he would eat the teacher! If he was a child, he would eat his parents!"
"This kind of person, are you sure you want to stay?" Jin Ling's tone was unusual, and there was an indescribable coldness.
Hearing this, Li Yiqi suddenly opened his eyes and wondered, "Lord Holy Spirit, what you said...... It's all unfounded!"
The object of the two people's mouths was naturally Xu Lin'an, who had sworn to take refuge in the East Palace in the side hall before! At that time, the reason why Li Yiqi put on a contemplative posture was because he heard Jin Ling's warning in his mind, so he was also hesitating to accept Xu Lin'an's refuge.
"Who said there is no basis?
"Hehe, that's right, I'm going to find someone to make up for history this time, and see if there really is such a person in history as you said. Li Yiqi smiled leisurely.
Of course, he knew that the reason for Jin Ling's anger was not only that he didn't listen to her advice, but also that it was more related to the Xuanyang jade a few days ago.
The piece of Xuanyang jade that Jin Ling devoured for the first time was half the size of a palm, and the 'piece' of Xuanyang jade he promised Jin Ling last time was only the size of a finger...... Recalling the scene where Jin Ling almost blew up at that time, Li Yiqi suddenly felt angry and funny.
"You...... You just wait to suffer!Hmph!" Jin Ling snorted angrily and stopped talking.
......
The carriage quickly followed the dense streets of endless flow of people, and soon came to a neighborhood with few people, this street was very remote, and the geographical location was not much better than the original name of the 'Zilanxuan' small broken teahouse.
"This should be it. ”
The carriage stopped, Li Yiqi jumped down, walked to a mansion with an old locust tree planted in front of the door, and gently knocked on the rusty knocker on the door.
After a while, no one responded from the door, so Li Yiqi stood at the door with his arms behind his back and waited quietly, but he also had some questions in his heart: "Here...... Is it really Banxing's residence?"
Although this place is also in the west of the city, compared to the prosperity of tens of thousands of shops and more than a dozen commercial streets in the west of the city, the mansion in front of you looks quite dilapidated.
The rusty and mossy steps of the decaying and old gate and the untended grass growing from the roots of the walls are enough to show that the people who live here are not very big families...... It's hard to imagine a court official living in such a place.
Li Yiqi waited outside the door for a while, and the door finally opened, and a small head poked out of it.
"Who are you looking for?"
This is a child of about five or six years old, dressed in the clothes of a servant, and his eyes are vigilantly sweeping around Li Yiqi's body.
Li Yiqi lowered his head and said with a gentle smile: "Little guy, is this the residence of Ban Xing, the secretary of the Criminal Department?"
"You look for the big brother, the big brother is not at home. ”
The little boy had chubby cheeks and looked cute, and when he heard that Li Yiqi was looking for his big brother, the vigilance in his eyes immediately disappeared.
Hearing this, Li Yiqi frowned and asked, "Then where did your big brother go?"
The original ten-day appointment was not something he said casually, the officials of the six ministries rested on the fifth day, according to the day, today is the day of the rest, Ban Xing is not in the house, where will it be?
"You want to know—no!" the boy shook his head in thought, then held out a chubby hand.
Seeing this, Li Yiqi was stunned, and his face suddenly became exciting.
"Little one, this ingot of silver is for you. Li Yiqi took out a piece of silver from his arms and stuffed it into Xiao Tong's hand, sighed, and asked with a wry smile: "Now, you can tell me, where did your eldest brother go......
The little boy played with the silver in his hand, showed a smile, and said, "Hehe, I don't know." ”
"What?!" Li Yiqi looked at Xiao Tong with wide eyes, the corners of his mouth suddenly twitched slightly, and he said with an incredulous expression: "Little guy......"
However, before Li Yiqi finished speaking, Xiao Tong ran out of the door and slipped into another alley, shouting at him at the same time: "The big brother is not here, but the big sister of this family is in the house!"
Looking at the figure of the little boy in the distance, Li Yiqi's heart was messy.
Feelings: This kid is not from Banxing's family!
"The big brother is not here, but the big sister is there...... Forget it, let's go inside. ”
Li Yiqi thought about it, but decided to push the door in.
The scenery in this courtyard is very different from the outside, it is already winter, and the streets are extremely depressed, but this courtyard is very clean and tidy, because it should be often cleaned.
At this moment, Li Yiqi suddenly heard a piano sound in his ears, which should be someone playing in the room.
"Over there!"
Li Yiqi walked in the direction where the sound came from, the closer he got closer, the quieter and more peaceful the sound of the piano in his ears, and when he walked to the elegant room in the house, Li Yiqi saw a shadow through a beaded curtain.
"It turned out that there were guests. ”
A timid voice sounded from inside the room, sounding a little nervous and uneasy. Hearing the voice of the girl, Li Yiqi immediately understood that this was the 'big sister' in Xiaotong's mouth, and immediately stopped, arching his hand and responding: "Dare to ask if this is Brother Ban Xing's mansion? ”
"It turned out to be a brother friend, and the guests were invited to go to the tea room later. ”
The bead curtain was pushed open, and a snow-white and soft face, which could be broken by blowing bullets, and had a timid expression, came into view. This is a young girl, who looks about the same age as Qi'er, with a tear mole in the corner of her eye, and her appearance is pitiful and pitiful, which makes people can't help but feel like they have a feeling of hugging her in her arms and taking good care of her.
"Thank you. ”
Li Yiqi arched his hand and smiled slightly, but he did not ask the girl's name as rudely as other family disciples, but silently followed behind the other party and walked in the direction of the tea room.
Entering the tea room, Li Yiqi flicked his sleeves lightly, sat down on the guest seat, and asked, "Dare to ask where my brother went?" I made an agreement with him ten days ago to come to the house to pay a visit. ”
"It turns out that the one who is my brother's friend is right now!" the girl's bright eyes flashed, and there was a look of shock in her eyes, and her face was uneasy.
She made a blessing to Li Yiqi, then knelt on the side, took a box of rosewood, and then took out the contents of the rosewood box one by one.
Li Yiqi swept his eyes and immediately saw that it was a complete tea set.
"Brother, he went to the street, he will be back in a while, if you don't mind, Zhao'er will make a cup of tea for the guests." The girl's cheeks were slightly red, and Qianqian's thin hands were weak and boneless, and she carefully took out the tea set.
"It's okay, the girl doesn't have to be polite. ”
The guest is as good as the host, and Li Yiqi doesn't care about this time.
However, at this moment, a sentence from Jin Ling in his mind made his face change slightly.
"Jin Ling, what is the 'Moon Spirit Boarding Body'?!" Li Yiqi asked in surprise.
Just now, Jin Ling's faint voice came, and there was only one sentence - "This chick turned out to be the boarding body of the moon spirit!"
"It's the body of the Moon Spirit...... Now, let's put it this way, after you and I make a bloodline contract, you can be called the boarding body of our clan! This little girl looks weak, alas--I didn't expect that in addition to that big snake, the Moon Spirit clan also woke up!"
"So, what 'moon spirit' is also like you, a holy spirit?" Li Yiqi was shocked. He had never heard of a demon beast like 'Moon Spirit', but what could make Jin Ling sigh so much was definitely not something simple.
"Alas...... How can I say it, a big war, something too long, the deity has almost forgotten, who told someone to deceive the deity...... The deity went to sleep, don't bother me. Jin Ling's tone was quite emotional.
However, when Li Yiqi continued to ask, he did not respond like a stone in the sea. At this time, Li Yiqi could only smile silently in his heart, and said in his heart that he must get a few pieces of Xuanyang jade to please this aunt and grandmother, otherwise if he doesn't make it clear, he will really die in a hurry.
In the tea room, the fragrance of tea wafted in, and Li Yiqi's thoughts were pulled back to his eyes.
Looking at this beautiful and skillful tea ceremony technique, Li Yiqi felt very familiar in his heart, and his face couldn't help but be moved.
Sanitary ware, tea throwing, brewing, tea distribution, a set of processes are smooth, just like art.
"Childe, please use it. The girl made the tea, with a hint of timidity on her face, holding an antique teacup in her hand, and making a gesture of inviting tea.
"Thank you. ”
Li Yiqi carefully took the teacup and took a sip gently, but the corner of his eye was looking at the girl in front of him.
It stands to reason that the girl in front of her should be Ban Xing's family, maybe Ban Xing's sister, although her appearance is elegant and unparalleled, but there is nothing special, but what 'Moon Spirit Boarding Body' is too concerning. If I remember correctly, in the tomb of Emperor Wu, Jin Ling also said that the black line on his wrist was the mark left by the 'magic exchange'. If one is not careful, he will most likely become the host of the 'Magic Pair'......
"'Dragon Sparrow', 'Magic', 'Moon Spirit'...... How many mysterious demon beasts are there in this world?" Li Yiqi was secretly speechless in his heart, and almost subconsciously sighed lightly.
"Childe...... But what's wrong with the tea?" asked the girl, her shoulders trembling, her eyes weak, and her voice timid.
"Huh, oh..... Not...... No problem. Li Yiqi smiled bitterly and touched the tip of his nose, and was suddenly a little embarrassed.
"Son's status is noble, if Zhao'er has any inconsiderate hospitality, I hope that Gongzi will atone for his sins, and don't implicate his brother. The girl's eyes were slightly red, she stood up, took two steps back, and then slowly knelt on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Li Yiqi was suddenly shocked, and seemed to understand something in his eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the other party's hand, helped her up, and said with a wry smile: "The girl doesn't have to be like this, Brother Ling and I met at first sight, and we regarded each other as confidants." Coming here today is nothing more than discussing some poetry. ”
The girl's eyes flickered, and her voice asked like a mosquito: "Childe, ...... Isn't it the one who forced my brother to spend all night copying history books?"
Li Yiqi was still holding the girl's little hand in his hand, a smooth and delicate feeling came from his fingertips, he calmed his mind, hurriedly let go of his hand, and pretended to be puzzled: "Brother Ban copied history books all night?
"Well, it's not good. Every time my brother came back these days, he locked himself in the study and copied ancient books, and the lights in the house were not extinguished until the early hours of the next morning. I only thought that he had offended a noble person in the court and was made difficult, but my brother insisted on it like this, and if he didn't sleep for an hour every day, his body would be unbearable sooner or later......" The girl's face was full of sadness, and pearl-like tears kept rolling down from her long eyelashes.
Hearing this, Li Yiqi was stunned for a moment, and only then did he realize that it was he who asked Ban Xing to collect the history of 'Loulan Kingdom' ten days ago, which made Ban Xing work so hard.
However, there is nothing in the world that can be rewarded without paying, Ban Xing wants to make a good relationship with him, so naturally he must do his best to complete his entrustment.
Thinking of this, Li Yiqi smiled faintly and said: "The girl is not more worried, when the class brother comes back, I will also ask him to see if there is anything I can help with." ”
Regarding the 'Loulan Kingdom' and the 'Ancient Night Dynasty', Li Yiqi didn't want more people to know, so he could only appease the other party like this at the moment.
"Let Childe smile, Childe is here to talk about poetry with his brother, since my brother is not there, the little girl is not talented, and she has also studied for a few days, how about replacing her brother first?" The girl wiped away her tears and turned her sadness into joy.
"This ...... It's not very convenient. ”
Li Yiqi was slightly surprised, the ladies of the Great Xia family were basically very reserved and introverted before they came out of the cabinet. Although there are things about inviting people to recite poems, they are all limited to the school palace, purely for the purpose of communication, and there are teachers in the school palace present. Now what is the matter between him and this girl in the tearoom......
"Childe is not as good as mind, Zhao'er has a stubborn disease, and he can't see anyone on weekdays, and Childe doesn't have to be afraid of any rumors and rumors. The girl covered her mouth and chuckled, and in the depths of her eyes, the surprise could no longer be concealed. hurriedly trotted out of the tea room, and then took the four treasures of the study.
"This ...... Okay, girl, please. ”
Seeing the figure of the girl going and returning, a strange light flashed in Li Yiqi's eyes, but he didn't refuse again.
"In the past, the flowers were stunning at the beginning of the year. Well...... Have you ever heard of the poems of 'Mr. Ling Jiang'?" The girl really rarely seemed to talk to outsiders, although her eyes were still weak, but she was obviously a little excited, she mentioned Qinghao, dipped it, and immediately wrote a poem on the white paper.
"The famous black-clothed talented woman has naturally heard of it. ”
Li Yiqi smiled faintly, took the pen, and wrote the next sentence seriously: "Where is the pure heart, the mountains and the moon are illuminated by snow in the sky." ”
"Childe writes well and writes calligraphy!"
Li Yiqi's words, elegant and free, revealed an unrestrained aura, the girl took the paper, and her bright eyes showed a touch of joy.
"The girl has won the prize. ”
Li Yiqi touched the tip of his nose and smiled, he didn't do less about this kind of thing in Tianfu School Palace back then, but there were too many things that happened in the past month or so, and it was like a lifetime, and he had forgotten the feeling he had at the beginning.
