Chapter 369: Bad Omen
Because Rabbit Ridge is located in the suburbs of Beijing, after nightfall, the overlapping shadows of the trees look extremely gloomy and lonely.
During the day, the lively and grand temple fair on the mountain, as the night deepens, the pilgrims leave one after another.
After all, the entire City God Temple fell into silence again.
Xiao Jinxuan, who originally planned to return to the Shuai Mansion directly after the temple fair, looked a little dazed because of the sign in the daytime.
In addition, the temple fair is crowded with people, and the smell of sandalwood is also quite strong.
So in the end, Xiao Jinxuan actually felt a slight heat stroke, and the whole person was restless, and almost didn't faint under the scorching sun.
Looking at her like this, everyone was afraid that the carriage would be bumpy, which would only make Xiao Jinxuan even more uncomfortable.
Therefore, he found the temple blessing of the City God Temple, that is, the person in charge of everything in the temple and the person in charge of the incense.
and bothered the other party to arrange a few houses, in order to accommodate Xiao Jinxuan's body, everyone decided to stay here for one night and leave.
And now this midnight hour should be the most relaxing time for people to be physically and mentally.
But Xiao Jinxuan, who was resting alone in a guest room, although her eyes were closed and she was indeed asleep, her brows were tightly constricted, and a layer of sweat oozed from her forehead.
"Xianyu, go and leave me alone...... Let's go, you get out of here, don't, don't, don't! ”
With a terrible and frightened scream, after being shouted out of Xiao Jinxuan's mouth.
Looking at her, not only did her eyes open in an instant, but the whole person also sat up from the soft collapse, and couldn't stop gasping for air.
Because Xiao Jinxuan has never had the habit of calling people and serving by the side at night, when she was in Forsythia Courtyard, Zhuxin and Baizhu rested in the small room next to her main house. If there's something to do, get up and check.
So today's Xiao Jinxuan is still sleeping alone in the room by herself, but her terrifying scream is really too terrifying.
So Xin, who slept next to her in the house, couldn't hear it.
And this Hui Xin had already gotten up and knocked on Xiao Jinxuan's door anxiously outside, for fear that something would happen to the other party inside.
And Xiao Jinxuan, who was sitting on the ** couch, didn't wait until Xin outside and knocked on the sixth door in a row that she stabilized her mind and heard the sound of knocking.
Wheezing and wiping away the cold sweat from her forehead, she put on her single clothes casually, and groped her way down to light the candle, and finally stepped forward to remove the deadbolt and open the door.
And Xin, who had been waiting outside for a while, was also fortunate to Xiao Jinxuan to open the door, otherwise he would have been ready to break in directly.
Just when Xin took advantage of the dim candlelight in the room to ask Xiao Jinxuan what was going on just now.
But before the words could be spoken, Xin saw that the other party's face was now pale, without any blood, and he looked crumbling and languishing.
Immediately unable to speak, Xin hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiao Jinxuan, and then took the other party back to sit down before the collapse.
"Jinxuan, you're having a nightmare again, why are you having trouble staying at night again. I remember that you haven't been plagued by nightmares for a long time, is it because you are so tired today, so you are restless? ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan, who was much more emotionally eased, immediately said in a somewhat hoarse voice:
"Xin, pour me a glass of water, yes, I did have a terrible dream. And this dream gives me the feeling that it is really unlucky. ”
As soon as he heard this, Xin naturally quickly poured a glass of water for Xiao Jinxuan, and when he saw the other party taking the cup, his hands were trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but say worriedly:
"Jinxuan, don't think nonsense, dreams are all fake, but they can't be true. If you say that it is unlucky, you have also seen it today, the hundred ghosts who sat down to worship in the temple, and the white spirit devil who was the head of the hundred ghosts turned out to be all white. As soon as I went in, all the pilgrims pointed at me, and if I really talked about my face collision with the devil, wouldn't it be more unlucky than a nightmare. ”
After drinking a cup of tea, Xiao Jinxuan's panic was completely suppressed.
And after looking up at Xin's face, she said helplessly:
"A good and good living person, why bother to compare himself with the devil in the City God Temple. What's more, the white spirit devil has white hair, but Xin you only have two strands of white hair, and you must not say such unlucky words in the future. ”
Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan's mood had calmed down, he immediately smiled, and really didn't mention the white spirit devil, but he asked curiously:
"Jinxuan, you used to have nightmares before, but I haven't seen a time when you would be so scared that you screamed like this. Tell me what you dreamed about, maybe you won't be so scared if you tell it. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes flashed a trace of unease, but after being silent for a while, she still slowly spoke:
"I dreamed of the Emperor, who was surrounded by a large army of blood. I wanted to save him, but when I pulled out the hairpin and stabbed the enemy, the man I killed with a hairpin turned into a manifestation again. ”
The scene in the dream, after listening to Xin in a few words, Xiao Jinxuan closed her eyes, and then said with a sense of fatigue:
"You go out first, I want to be quiet by myself. If I can, I really want to rush to Biansai immediately, Xin You said that Xianyu has been gone for more than a month, why hasn't a letter been delivered, you said that he won't really have an accident. ”
Last time, Zhou Xianyu was seriously injured, and after the uncertain disappearance of life and death was transmitted back to Beijing, Xiao Jinxuan rushed to Rui Wang's Mansion overnight and cried so painfully.
Although Xin also felt that Xiao Jinxuan's dream was very unlucky, if Zhou Xianyu really had an accident, he was really afraid that the other party would not be able to bear it.
However, seeing that she persuaded herself for a while, Xiao Jinxuan didn't speak, and immediately Xin felt that maybe it was indeed a good way to ask the other party to be quiet alone.
So after instructing Xiao Jinxuan a few more words, Xin went out and helped the other party close the door from scratch.
When Xiao Jinxuan was the only one left in the house, she didn't move or speak, but she took the carefree hairpin in her hand from under the pillow.
A tear slipped from Xiao Jinxuan's eyes and dripped on the carefree flower on the hairpin handle.
Looking at this love thing that Zhou Xianyu gave her, Xiao Jinxuan only felt extremely bitter and uncomfortable in her heart.
Standing up and pushing open the window, waiting until a little cold air outside was blowing in her face, Xiao Jinxuan felt that Shicai's chest tightness was almost suffocating, as if it had been relieved a little.
Looking up at the sky outside, it was a cloudy night, and the moonlight that should have been revealed was not visible at all.
Removing the red gold hairpin cover from the outside of the carefree hairpin, Xiao Jinxuan withdrew her gaze looking up at the sky, then looked down at the hairpin in her hand, and muttered to herself:
"Do you know that I asked for a sign for you today, but it is a photo of the great murderer. Now I dream again that you are covered in blood and that you are dying. If there was an accident, it must have happened because of me. It's all my fault, it's because I'm greedy and reluctant to leave you, and I've been immersed in comfort for too long, and I've even forgotten that I'm a wisp of rebirth. And I got the opportunity to live here in exchange for a lifetime, precisely because I gave up all the **** in the world. ”
Abandoning love in exchange for a chance to be reborn and revenge, but with the appearance of Zhou Xianyu, after the feelings for each other became stronger and stronger, it was difficult to separate from each other.
Xiao Jinxuan gradually forgot her original intention, even because Zhou Xianyu brought her a piece of sunshine, and everything recently was extremely smooth.
Therefore, that emotion will bring bad luck, like a curse-like shackle, which has made Xiao Jinxuan stop trembling so much, and always keep it in mind.
But today's sloppy and old-fashioned words are like an initiation, completely shattering all the hard-won things that Xiao Jinxuan is doing now, and even the longing for the future.
And although the old man has a sloppy appearance, every word he can say directly hits Xiao Jinxuan's inner secret and line of defense, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Therefore, the more I believe that this half-immortal is indeed the Dao of some uncertain prophets, the more Xiao Jinxuan can't let go, and the other party said that Zhou Xianyu has encountered an accident.
A little irritable and closed her eyes again, but Xiao Jinxuan was unstable in her hand because she was restless, and she was cut out by the carefree hairpin.
This carefree hairpin was already extremely sharp, so when Xiao Jinxuan felt pain.
Her blood had already flowed down the wound in her palm, and the hairpin was half stained with blood.
first the sign of the murderer, then the nightmare of Zhou Xianyu's death, and now even the carefree hairpin that the other party gave her is stained with blood.
Xiao Jinxuan, who already believed that in the underworld, there must be unpredictable and mysterious signs that are difficult to explain.
After this series of unlucky things happened, even if she was calm, it was difficult for her to calm down now.
After putting on the dress very quickly, Xiao Jinxuan didn't even bother to comb her loose hair, so she prepared to return to Beijing overnight.
When she goes back, she will do everything she can, and she will also know exactly what kind of situation Zhou Xianyu is doing over there now.
But just when Xiao Jinxuan's hand almost touched the door, she never thought that the door was directly pushed open from the outside.
Surprised, Xiao Jinxuan saw that Xin, who had just left, would go and return, and the other party's face would be even more pale and ugly than her.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinxuan immediately asked the other party in surprise what happened.
But Xin hesitated for a long time, opened his mouth several times but squeaked, and did not say a word clearly.
And Xiao Jinxuan, who was now in a hurry to return to Jingshi, didn't want to waste time at all, so just when she was anxiously trying to push Xin away and planned to walk outside the house.
Suddenly, I saw that behind Xin, there was suddenly a person wearing a black cloak, and after this person took off the hat on his head, Xiao Jinxuan was surprised to recognize that the person who came was actually Red Shadow.
And when Red Shadow stepped forward a few steps forward and saluted Xiao Jinxuan, he had a calm face and said in a calm voice:
"Since you can't say it, then I'll tell the county lord of Zhaoyang."
As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Chiying suddenly kneel on one knee in front of Xiao Jinxuan.
Red Shadow, who has never had the slightest emotional fluctuation, said in a low tone with a slight sadness:
"This afternoon, there are 800 miles ahead of me to rush back. On the way to the border fortress, His Royal Highness was ambushed by Yeying and other countries, and all 30,000 soldiers and horses were annihilated, and His Royal Highness died heroically. Now that there is chaos in the palace, please ask the county lord to mourn and make sure to plan early. ”
