Chapter 64: Sneaking into the Night with the Wind
At night, a gentle drizzle like the wind moistens the entire bamboo forest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Thin dark clouds floated loosely high in the sky, setting off the shy moon with a veil.
In the wet, gently swaying ink bamboo, there is a wooden house. In the courtyard in front of the wooden house, a bonfire is lit. The crackling vermilion licked the sky, not caring about the continuous drizzle, releasing its own light and heat to the fullest.
Smelling the faint smell of rosin in the air, Zhibei placed a plate of prepared dishes on the stone table, and he shouted into the room, "Purple, it's raining outside." β
"Really?" Purple walked out of the back room and stretched out her hand, she felt a chill, as if the mist was kissing her skin, she looked up again, and said, "It's really raining...... But, brother, don't block such a light rain! When it gets bigger, it's not too late to block it......"
"What you said also makes sense, and holding a farewell banquet in the rain is also a kind of romance...... By the way, don't you need to look at Kaguya? Is it OK to let her cook alone? Zhibei looked up at the vast and soft sky, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Kaguya is already an adult.,Besides, Moe is still watching!" Purple also smiled softly, "However, the dish can't let the rain get to the realm, up and down." β
As soon as Zi's words fell, all the raindrops above the stone table reversed direction, like a swallow returning to its nest, heading towards the place where it came.
"What a magical power, Purple!" Zhibei sighed with a smile.
"Hee-hee, in order to be able to control it accurately, I've been practicing for a long time!"
"Ahh That's really amazing, Purple," he praised softly, and Zhibei walked back into the porch. Having lived in modern society, he has developed a vigilance against acid rain, and although he is not afraid of it, he habitually hides from the rain.
"That's right...... When is Sister Yongyi coming? Purple asked.
"I don't know, it's still a little troublesome for her to avoid the crowd, after all, she's not good at doing such things!"
"Most of the guys who covet Kaguya's beauty are gone, or the bamboo forest will be even more lively...... In that case, Sister Yongyi will be even more troublesome. β
"Yes! But...... Because it is easy to give up because of frequent encounters, this is one of the inferior nature of human beings! β
While Zhibei and Zi were chatting, a female voice suddenly sounded in the bamboo forest in front of the door, a tactful but full of firm strength, and it sounded like a supple beauty.
"Yo, Brother Zhibei, I brought good wine!" As soon as the words fell, a slender figure appeared in the black leaf shadow.
She wore a spacious kimono embroidered with red clouds and stepped on a pair of crisp geta. The long golden hair was pulled up high, revealing a stunning face and the long red horns that symbolized the identity of the ghost clan.
The one who came was Yongyi.
"Isn't that all there is to it?" With a chuckle, Zhibei greeted him, and took a jar of wine brought by Yongyi by the way, although Zhibei didn't have as much strength as Yongyi, but he could still help get a jar of wine.
"I've brought you the best wine in our entire ghost capital today!"
"We're almost ready here," Zhibei shouted into the back room, "Moe, can you bring it out?" β
"That's it!" Of course, this energetic response can only be understood by Zhibei.
"Then ......" Zi smiled happily, and somewhere she found her little fan again, "Brother's farewell dinner begins!" β
It's been a week since Prince Shizhu came to visit with an unqualified stone bowl, and in this week, the master of Abe sent a fake fire rat Qiu, and the news of the failure of the dragon slaying came from Da Nayan, and this afternoon, Fujiwara Bubi and others have also come to sea.
If it was just a prince of Shizhu, it would not arouse Zhibei's vigilance, but now, Zhibei has been shocked by the speed of these dignitaries, and he knows that if he doesn't set off faster, then he may never be able to debunk the unequal deception. So, after this dinner, he was going to Fujiwara-kyo.
ββββββββ after three days on the roadββββββββ
Falling outside the city with the phoenix, Zhibei walked into the bustling Fujiwara-kyo.
After inquiring around about the fifth lady of the Fujiwara family, that is, the residence of Fujiwara Meihong, Zhibei walked through the streets and alleys and found a courtyard in the middle of nowhere. The courtyard is not big, but there are all kinds of things that should be available, and in the side yard, there is also a tall plane tree, which casts a large cool shadow - here, is Meihong's home.
Due to the remote location, there are not many people coming and going, pretending to be passers-by, Zhibei took the opportunity to observe this courtyard.
The house looks a little shabby, but the guards are quite complete. There were two gatekeepers standing in front of the door, and there was one hidden in the sycamore tree, maybe a ninja or something. However, it is precisely this complete garrison that is the problem.
Obviously, as the most unpopular people in the Fujiwara family, it is impossible for them to have a guard. Therefore, these people who have more significance for monitoring than for guarding must be incomparable.
Seeing such a tight guard, Zhibei first wondered what was going on, and then cut off the idea of visiting directly, because, as Kaguya's father, if he went to visit Fujiwara Meihong, he would definitely be noticed by Bubi. If you are more vigilant, will you be caught by him?
Zhibei didn't forget, he didn't say that he went to sea, but in fact, he didn't sail far, but secretly turned back to land. Now, although he is not in his own house, he must be hiding in an unknown place, making fake Penglai jade branches.
Walking around the corner without hurrying, Zhibei took one last look at the courtyard and sighed in his heart.
Since you can't get in now, let's wait until the evening!
ββββββββββ dead of nightββββββββ
"Moe, can you use mental interference to drag this cumulus cloud over that house?" Prostrate on the back of the phoenix, Zhibei asked the cute floating beside him.
"No problem." Moe nodded and whispered.
"Okay, then Phoenix, let's fly over the clouds!"
With a plan, the trio (?) Soon they came to the sky above Meihong's house, which was covered by cumulus clouds, and their whereabouts were not discovered by anyone.
"Moe, can your illusion spell confuse the eyes of some guards?"
"Of course you can, but if you can't make illusions, how can it be called illusions? But...... Zhibei, you should pay attention to the sound problem, what if the little sister screams for a while? β
"Uh...... Probably not! β
"You're breaking into someone's house in the middle of the night! It's no different from a crime! β
"I know that too...... But extraordinary times are not very good...... What can I do? Forget it, let's take it one step at a time! As long as I cover my sister's mouth, isn't it? β
"This is what only gentlemen do!"
"......" Zhibei was silent for a moment, he selectively ignored Moe's words, "Phoenix, please, land as quietly as possible!" Moe, use illusions quickly. β
"Hmph, got it......" Meng put his hands on his forehead, and purple super energy swept through the courtyard below.
(I can't think of a title...... By the way, I once again affirm that the Void Abyss Xuancai is not my idol! Hum! Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for comments...... οΌ
