Chapter 339: Insomnia
The night is as cool as water, driving away the heat of the day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is the best time to rest, even the victims of the city who have had to endure all day are dreaming of good food and wine. But an attic in Zizhou City is always lit with candles.
This is the best room in the backyard of the antique store, and the delicate screen is the most popular style in the Tang Zhenguan period, and even the furnishings are elegant and generous at that time.
There are candlesticks in all four corners of the room, and a total of sixteen candles are burning, illuminating the room as if it were daytime. On the screen, a well-proportioned and handsome man figure can be clearly seen, and the man's long hair is scattered at will, adding a touch of softness to the majestic and handsome features.
But the eyebrows were twisted, as if there were many knots, and they couldn't be untied no matter how they were.
"Something?" The man took out a sunspot from the chess box, and after a little thought, he landed on the chess table in front of him. At the right time, with a crisp snapping sound, a shadow at the door moved slightly, it was the shopkeeper of the fox eye, Chen Shuo.
"No, my subordinates took it upon themselves to stew a bowl of decoction to help them sleep, and they were hesitating whether to send it in. I don't know what the Lord ......" Chen Shuo stopped talking, he didn't know if Li Shangying was busy with other things at this time.
Moreover, this is also the first time he has stewed soup and medicine, and he used to just hear the young man who served him say that Li Shangying slept lightly at night, and it was even difficult to sleep.
But now that the boy has disappeared during a mission, the Lord has been refusing to have anyone else by his side, and he doesn't know if the problem is still there. Now is a special period, Elder Bai has just left, and everything still depends on the Lord who suddenly took over all the burdens.
I hope his body doesn't collapse.
"Come in." Li Shangying took out a white piece from another chess box and landed on the chessboard with a click. As soon as this piece fell, the whole chess game became stalemate, and it began to change like a trend of heaven and earth.
Chen Shuo pushed open the door in response and came in with a carved dwarf. There is a pot on the low table, and inside is the bowl of the decoction.
"Lord, rest early. The body is the most important thing. Chen Shuo lifted the lid of the pot and carefully brought out the porcelain bowl, he handed the bowl to Li Shangying, "It's still hot, it's best to ask the Lord to drink it in time." ”
Li Shangying picked up the sunspot, his gaze sticking to the chessboard was always Chen Shuo's worried face, and the corners of his mouth instantly pulled an arc: "Lord Chen Helm is hard, but this seat likes to drink colder, let's put it on the table first." ”
Chen Shuo was stunned, but he didn't persuade again, but just explained: "Lord, although this is not the recipe that Brother Yu used at the beginning, the doctor guarantees that it also has a good effect on sleep aids. Brother Yu has been missing for so long, and it's time for the Lord to change the medicine. ”
Li Shangying didn't speak, but put down the sunspot by himself, and then waved his hand to signal Chen Shuo to retreat.
The latter sighed inwardly, glanced at the stalemate of the chess game, and then closed the door and left. Li Shangying heard the sound of the door closing, so he looked at the medicinal soup that night, does it also have a sleep-inducing effect? Scold! In this world, there is no good medicine to make him fall asleep smoothly.
In addition to wine, it is the kind of strong liquor that can be drunk by the person who is drunk. But once he fell asleep, he would fall into endless nightmares, it was like hell, no, it was a thousand times more terrible than hell.
Last time, I went to the underworld with Meng Shichen, walked through the Ghost Gate, went to Huangquan Road, stepped on the Nai He Bridge and saw the Lechuan River, but none of these places can compare to the miserable horror in the nightmare. Of course, this is on the premise that he can't see the Mountain of the Dead.
Li Shangying would rather be awake than sleep.
Every time I was in a daze, those terrifying sounds would come as scheduled, and once I fell asleep, it would be even more sad. If it weren't for the fear that the content of his dream would be exposed, he really wanted to give Meng Shichen a commission and ask the one next to her to exorcise the nightmare for him.
There was a piece of paper on the chessboard, and the girl had left here, but he felt that she was still around......
In fact, the nightmare situation has been alleviated since the time when she almost died in Cangwu Mountain, the girl who was full of aura, the girl who saved her life, and every sleep she slept in the underworld did not have a nightmare invasion.
But the glance on the Sansheng Stone was like a thunderbolt in the sky, instantly pulling out the terrifying nightmare in the deepest part of his heart.
They tore at his head and heart like demons, and when he came out of the underworld, he was running out of strength, but he didn't dare to sleep. I wanted to leave her here, but this little girl ran faster than a rabbit, and when she came back from withdrawing from the talisman array, there was only a note with her handwriting.
Li Shangying didn't dare to think back to the miserable scenes he saw on the Sansheng Stone, but they were dangling in front of his eyes like living creatures, and as soon as his spirit relaxed, he immediately drilled out.
The men and women who were killed in front of him, the brothers who were in different places, the fires, the corpses scattered everywhere...... Everyone is someone they know, everyone is someone who has been good to them, but they are powerless to save any of them.
Every time they close their eyes, they die over and over again in the fire.
Li Shangying rubbed his eyebrows, and hurriedly added several black and white pieces to the chess table, making the already stalemate situation even more complicated. In this way, one's mind will fall back on the chessboard, and nothing can tear a hole in such a quiet and tight mind.
――――――――――
Meng Shichen followed Lihua and Zhang Yifeng to the inn, and found that although the layout was comfortable, it had a cold atmosphere. There was an empty plate on the table, and it looked like it was the kind of place where the inn Nagami put fruit.
"Where did Yue Yi go?" Meng Shichen sat cross-legged on the bed, she still had something to tell him about the jade seal of the country.
Leaving the painting to find the shopkeeper to ask for a new room, only Zhang Yifeng was left with her at this time: "I don't know, but I'm more concerned about what you've encountered in the underworld in the past few days." Why don't you tell us more about it during the day? ”
Listening to his slightly accusatory tone, she couldn't help but roll her eyes directly. This guy who is heavy on color and light on friends.
"Red-crowned cranes." Meng Shichen directly ignored Zhang Yifeng's words and summoned the red-crowned crane out of the soul blade.
"Hey! You haven't answered my question yet! Zhang Yifeng scooped it up and clamped it under his arm the moment the red-crowned crane appeared, staring at her impatiently, "What's the matter that the jade seal of the country can't be brought out?" Isn't that the key that opens the gates to the underworld? ”
"Give me the red-crowned crane and go back and sit down." Meng Shichen directly used the power of the Imperial Spiritual Technique, and before Zhang Yifeng could react, he had already taken the initiative to offer the red-crowned crane with both hands, and retreated to the side and knelt down seriously.
Of course, none of this was his intention. Just now, when Meng Shichen said the command sentence, his body involuntarily moved. (To be continued.) )
