Chapter Eighty-Five: A Strange Dream

After dinner, Yin Tiancheng found an inn in the town and chose two good guest rooms, and after settling Li Xiaoyun, he also went back to the room to rest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yin Tiancheng was so tired today that he didn't even have the strength to freshen up, so he collapsed on the bed with his clothes closed, and fell asleep after a while. In his sleep, he heard a woman talking, so he opened his eyes and got out of bed to see what was going on.

Just when Yin Tiancheng's feet just landed, the surroundings began to move like flowing water, turning into another scene, and when he came to his senses, he found himself in a luxurious palace. Just as he raised his eyes, he saw a young woman sitting in the center of the hall with her back to him. The woman was dressed in a long dress as bright as a peach blossom, and in front of her was an old table made of ebony, with a guqin on it, and the body of the qin was glowing with a dark brown light.

The woman was looking intently at a worn-out map in her hand at the moment, and whispered softly at the corner of her mouth: "Mountains and rivers Sheji map, Qiankun Netherworld." ”

What is this place? How could I be in an ancient palace? Yin Tiancheng was so surprised that he had to ask the woman: "Girl, I want you to tell me where this place is." ”

When the woman in red heard someone speak, she couldn't help but raise her jade neck slightly, and when she saw Yin Tiancheng standing in front of her, a smile appeared on her face, and then she got up and whispered softly, "King, you're back, after all, you are still reluctant to be a concubine." ”

Yin Tiancheng's eyes were greeted by a stunning and beautiful face, with a clear beauty mole at the lower corner of her right lip.

At the same time, Yin Tiancheng was also shocked in his heart, because he also found out that this woman was the beautiful woman in red in one of the paintings when Lu Wu took him to Kunlun before. At this time, she stood alive in front of her eyes, a thousand times more beautiful than the portrait in the painting.

Among the beauties Yin Tiancheng saw some time ago, whether it was Mrs. Azhu, Li Xiaoyun who he just met, or the mysterious woman in white who saved his life, even if they all appeared in front of the woman in red now, they would be as gloomy as stars meeting Haoyue. Her beauty has made Yin Tiancheng indescribable.

Yin Tiancheng forcibly lowered his head, because he was afraid that if he looked at it again, he would fall into her peerless face and lose himself.

The woman in red looked at him silently, and said lightly: "King, do you really not miss the old love?" ”

"Girl, you and I don't know each other, do you recognize the wrong person?" Yin Tiancheng finally came back to his senses and opened his mouth to answer.

"Hahahaha." The woman in red sneered, "The king doesn't even remember me? It seems that you are really so fascinated by the vixen that you have long forgotten your knotted wife. ”

Yin Tiancheng opened his mouth and stammered, he didn't know why the woman said this about him, and secretly thought to himself: This woman has a beautiful appearance, so beautiful that people can't blaspheme, but her husband wants to abandon her, is there something wrong with his brain, or is there something else hidden? Why did she say it was my wife, I had never been married at all. No, is she my wife in my last life, then I am not a bad man?

Just when Yin Tiancheng lowered his head and thought about it, the woman in red saw that he was silent and speechless, and became more and more sad. She sobbed and said, "Since the king refuses to have a concubine, then what is the point of my life? The concubine will die now, and I hope that she can still serve the king in the next life! With that, she pushed open the window and prepared to jump down.

"Don't jump!" Yin Tiancheng was startled, ran towards her quickly, and stretched out his hands to hold her.

The woman turned around slowly, and a strange scene happened.

Yin Tiancheng saw that there was no sadness on the face of the woman in red, but instead an angry expression.

She stretched out her hand and grabbed Yin Tiancheng's neck, and said angrily: "I am infatuated in vain, but you treat me like this!" It's just that you're guilty, why kill me! ”

"Girl, you recognize the wrong person, I'm not your husband!" Yin Tiancheng exclaimed in surprise, and the person suddenly woke up from the dream, and his whole body was already dripping with cold sweat.

The moonlight shone through the holes in the window lattice, leaving a shadow in the room. Yin Tiancheng hadn't recovered from the nightmare just now, but he felt that the atmosphere in the room was suffocating, so he got out of bed and opened the door and walked out to breathe some fresh air.

As soon as Yin Tiancheng stretched outside the house, he noticed that something was wrong, because he saw that Li Xiaoyun's door next door was unexpectedly open.

"Miss Li?"

There was silence in the room, and there was no response.

Yin Tiancheng's nerves tensed, he walked into Li Xiaoyun's guest room quickly, and by the dim moonlight, he saw that Xiaoyun's bed was empty, and the window next to it was open.

Through the window, Yin Tiancheng saw a green light flashing in the distance, burning like a ghostly fire.

With a flick of his right hand, the sword at his waist was unsheathed, and as soon as his figure moved, the man swept out of the window, following the green light.

Under the cover of night, Li Xiaoyun stood quietly on the bluestone covered in cold frost, holding her chin lightly with her right hand, holding her orchid finger with her left hand, her jade eyes were half-open, and her eyes were like water ice, as if they had condensed.

Jung Ji-ho stood across from her with a knife, standing like a zombie.

Heaven and earth seem to be still, it seems to be like a painting, a strange ancient painting.

"Witch Minister." Li Xiaoyun finally spoke, "Are you really not afraid of death?" ”

Zheng Zhihao said: "It is precisely because I am afraid of death that I will cultivate immortals." ”

"Since I'm afraid of death, I've run so far, and you dare to follow, it seems that your brain is sick."

"Not only is he not sick, but he is also very conscious." After speaking, Zheng Zhihao put the knife horizontally, his body had rushed forward quickly, and the treasure knife in his hand swung continuously, killing Li Xiaoyun.

Xiao Yun sneered and easily defused his moves. At the same time, she also noticed that something was wrong, because her legs seemed to have taken root in the ground, and she couldn't move half a step at all. She looked down and saw that the dirt beneath her feet seemed to be living and spreading from the bluestone upwards along her jade feet.

"Flame Earth Binding Spirit?"

"Not bad." Zheng Zhihao smiled: "I don't fight uncertain battles. ”

"You're underestimating me." It was just the work of the mind turning, and the dirt began to crack on Xiaoyun's body and slowly fell off.

Zheng Zhihao didn't mean to panic at all, "I advise you not to cast any more spells, otherwise the consequences will be serious." ”

"I'm going to be scared of you?" Xiaoyun had never taken him seriously, let alone believed that his three-legged cat's spell could help her.

"Yin Tiancheng is coming, his footsteps, you must have heard it." Zheng Zhihao said this very lightly, but Xiaoyun's face had changed a few times.

The soil came alive again, covering Xiaoyun's whole body, and Xiaoyun at this moment looked like a zongzi, and she was glutinous rice wrapped in palm leaves.

"Zheng Zhihao, if you also use such a vicious spell against a weak woman, aren't you afraid of suffering from heaven!" Yin Tiancheng, who happened to arrive just in time, couldn't help but be furious, and swung his sword at Zheng Zhihao to attack with all his might.

Zheng Zhihao didn't fight back, he just moved his body lightly, flew away, and retreated a few feet to stop.

"Sometimes, what you see isn't necessarily real......" Zheng Zhihao stopped after saying half a sentence, because he saw that the cocoon covering Li Xiaoyun's body began to loosen.

Although Yin Tiancheng turned his back to Xiaoyun and didn't see this, he also heard that Zheng Zhihao had something to say, so he replied to the sword and asked, "What tricks do you want to play?" ”

Zheng Zhihao had put his hands together, and when his palms parted, a dazzling white light shot out, and the heavens and the earth became extremely bright, Yin Tiancheng subconsciously covered his face with his hands to prevent his eyes from being burned by the strong light.

The light finally faded, and Yoon found himself in a strange house, surrounded by Li Xiaoyun, who was wrapped in a cocoon, and Jung Ji-ho was sitting on a chair in front of him smiling at him.

"Illusion?" Yin Tiancheng is no longer surprised.

"Yes, it's a fantasy I made, but everything in it was real." Zheng Zhihao paused for a moment and said: "When we met at the temple fair, didn't you say that there was something important to look for me, and now I am very interested in knowing." ”

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, although Yin Tiancheng doesn't know what Zheng Zhihao is doing, but he remembers his promise to Qiqi. So he told Zheng Zhihao what happened in Longboguo.

Zheng Zhihao said: "My mana is not profound, do you think I can help?" ”

"I'm very strange, but I think there must be a reason why Jihai and Taizhang recommend you."

Zheng Zhihao said coldly: "Disobeying the order of the Emperor of Heaven, I am likely to be hunted down by the entire God Clan, this kind of loss-making business, do you think I will do it?" Besides, you are my enemy, so why should I help you? ”

Zheng Zhihao's words were reasonable, and Yin Tiancheng knew that he couldn't convince him for a while, so he changed his words and said: "Even if you don't want to help, you can't implicate the innocent, please let Miss Li go, she has nothing to do with this matter." ”

"Unrelated?" Zheng Zhihao laughed, "You are really smart, you are confused for a while." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Zheng Zhihao did not answer his question, but changed his words and said: "Poor and strange, I can consider helping." Right now, Li Xiaoyun is next to her, Zheng Zhihao doesn't dare to blame her and tell Yin Tiancheng the truth.

"If Brother Zheng is willing to help, I promise to forgive you without guilt in front of the saint, and I will not be held accountable for the past."

"It's pedantic, you think the laws of the world will work for me?"

Yin Tiancheng realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

"I don't want anything. Last time you could guess the riddle I gave you, and I was impressed with you. This time, I might as well bet on you again, if you can accept my two tests, then I will naturally tell you the way to untie the divine chain on Qiqi's body. ”

"What kind of test it is, please say it clearly."

"Now is the first test."

Yin Tiancheng was puzzled, and he didn't know what Zheng Zhihao's intentions were.

"Take a good look at everything here, and come back to me when you figure out the mystery." After saying this, Zheng Zhihao disappeared in front of Yin Tiancheng, and the soil covering Li Xiaoyun's body also turned into smoke and dust and dispersed.

Seeing that Li Xiaoyun's body was weak and looked like she was about to fall, Yin Tiancheng hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Xiaoyun said weakly: "Childe, I just heard the thief say that this is an illusion, so won't we be able to get out?" ”

"Miss, don't worry, Zheng Zhihao doesn't seem to have any ill will towards me, I don't think he will do this." Yin Tiancheng said as he helped her to the chair and sat down, and then began to inspect everything in the room.

There was a big Dan furnace in the northwest corner of the room, the fire at the bottom of the furnace had been extinguished, Yin Tiancheng stepped forward to take a look, and there was nothing in the furnace.

Yin Tiancheng looked around again, and found that except for some necessary furniture, everything else was related to alchemy, and it seemed that this was an alchemy room.

Li Xiaoyun said: "Childe is so terrible here. ”

"What's so scary, it's just an alchemy room."

"But I always felt that there were ghost eyes watching me in the dark, and there was an eerie feeling everywhere, which reminded me of the ghost stories that my elders told me."

Seeing that Xiaoyun's body was trembling, Yin Tiancheng wanted to step forward to comfort her a few words, but he was afraid that his intimate behavior would cause her misunderstanding, so he had to take back the right leg that had stepped out.

Li Xiaoyun said: "Just like the haunted houses in those stories, they are so magnificent, neat and bright at night; But in the daytime, it becomes a deserted house, the hall is full of dusty cobwebs, and the outside of the courtyard is also knee-high. ”

"You've forgotten that there are more beautiful female ghosts like you in the house every night." Yin Tianwei wanted to make a joke to dilute the atmosphere, but when he saw Xiaoyun's body trembling even more, he knew that he was joking, so he stepped forward and took her hand and said, "Don't worry, even if there are demons and monsters, isn't it me, I will definitely be able to beat them all away." ”

"I really don't want to be like that."

As he spoke, the illusion surged around like flowing water, and reality returned to the two of them.

"See, there's no ghost here." Yin Tiancheng comforted Xiaoyun, but he was extremely remorseful in his heart, because he had not yet found out the mystery that Zheng Zhihao said, and the illusion disappeared.

Yin Tiancheng said, "Let's go back." ”

"It's dark and the road is slippery, can Childe help me?"

Yin Tiancheng hesitated for a moment, and finally took her little hand and helped her back to the inn.

Sometimes the world is really wonderful, two people close at hand, one is like an arrow, thinking about his lover who is far away in the capital, but the other is wishing that time would stand still, or that this road will never be finished.
