Chapter 209: A Strange Phenomenon
Ji Shangye hurriedly snatched the scroll from his hand, and took a closer look, only to find that there was only one person in the painting before, and there were many more people around him. But looking at their dress, why are they so strange?
Just as he was about to study it carefully, Liu Ce had already dodged the scroll again, and then casually threw it into the basin not far away.
"Are you crazy? This is the only thing my aunt left me! Ji Shangxie hurriedly screamed and ran over to pick up the scroll.
But when she looked down again, she saw that the people who had surrounded the girl before were gone, but there were more people in the scroll. Although she only sketched the characters with a few simple brushstrokes, she could see some hideous or painful expressions on the faces of these people.
She was stunned for a moment.
"What's going on?"
She still remembers that before her death, A-Niang solemnly handed over this parchment scroll to her, explained that she must keep it properly, and said to her: "This matter must not be known to your father, remember?" ”
She obediently kept A-Niang's explanation in mind and hid the parchment roll well. Because it is A-Niang's relic, she has been trying her best to protect it, and she is reluctant to let it get a little water, and she is reluctant to let it get close to the candle flame, for fear that the water and fire will damage the seemingly old scroll.
But now she found out - this thing doesn't seem to be afraid of water or fire?
Then it's not made of sheepskin at all!
Liu Ce also found out that something was wrong. He strode over and pulled the thing out of her hand again. "What the hell is this? What are the strange things that have been passed down from generation to generation in your Jade Ding Sect? ”
"I don't know." Ji Shangyi shook his head honestly.
"Of course I know you don't. But now I think this thing is very evil, and you'd better not leave it on you. Liu Ce said, rolled the scroll and stuffed it directly into his cuffs.
"What are you going to do?" Seeing this, Ji Shangxie's heart immediately hung high.
Seeing that she cared so much about this parchment roll, Liu Ce felt a little surprised in his heart. "Don't worry, since you're so precious to it, I'm sure I won't ruin it. But this thing can't stay with you now, you can leave it to me for safekeeping! ”
Ji Shangxie looked at him quietly, and Liu Ce pouted: "What's the matter, don't you still believe me?" ”
"No, I believe you." Ji Shangxiao shook his head.
"Isn't that enough?" Liu Ce nodded, "There are too many things happening in one day today, you better rest early!" Tomorrow, I will ask someone to stare at Ji Changshi's actions, and you don't have to think too much. Anyway, I won't be going out for a few days, so I'll accompany you. If they have any trouble, I will come and accompany you as soon as possible! ”
"Hmm." Ji Shangyi nodded.
Liu Ce instructed her a few more words before rolling away with a sheepskin on his sleeves.
Walking back to his residence, Liu Ce immediately took out the parchment roll again, unfolded it and looked at it. Well, he found out that he couldn't read anything. The text on it is like a book from heaven, and who knows what the hell it is. The paintings were also very simple, he looked at them for a long time, and he could only recognize a few people, but what they were doing, he couldn't see anything when his eyes hurt when he saw it.
He thought for a moment, then put the parchment roll on the fire and roasted it. But this time, nothing happened to the parchment rolls.
"This is weird!" Liu Ce snorted unhappily and continued to roast, but the parchment roll still had no reaction.
He simply took the parchment and threw it into the basin. The parchment floated on the water, still the same old and worn-looking parchment.
The pictures he saw in Ji Shangxie before were like a dream he had, and now he can't get it out!
"This Jade Ding Sect is really a!" Tossing back and forth for a long time, Liu Ce tossed himself out of breath. Unable to fall back on the bed, he threw the sheepskin aside, cursing unpleasantly.
And Ji Shangxie saw that the parchment roll was snatched away by Liu Ce, and she could only reluctantly accept her fate.
And today she was really tired. It's been a long time since she's been through so much in a day!
So she asked Ah Miao Amai to prepare hot water, she took a good bath, and then lay down on the bed and closed her eyes to sleep.
However, not long after closing her eyes, the scene she had seen on the parchment began to flash in front of her eyes. And the characters sketched with a few strokes on the picture gradually changed into vivid faces one by one.
One by one, they appeared beside the girl, circling around the high platform where the girl lived, and muttering words in their mouths. The girl lay weakly on the high platform, still softly chanting a very ancient incantation in her mouth.
However, what she was singing, Ji Shangxie tried to listen, but he still couldn't hear anything.
She could only watch as the expressions of the people around the high platform gradually began to change, and their movements became arrogant one by one. And then......
The girl on the high platform suddenly turned her head, as if she had discovered that she was spying on them, and her eyes were suddenly terrifyingly sharp. Ji Shangye looked at her in the air, and felt that her eyes were like two sharp swords, which were inserted straight into her heart, making her feel cold and subconsciously open her eyes.
Then, Ji Shangxian woke up.
When I opened my eyes, it was already dark outside. Was she just dreaming? Ji Shangxie said secretly in his heart.
It's just that after waking up, some fragments of the dream have appeared in front of her eyes from time to time, causing her to think about it. So she behaved very powerlessly today. The old lady Yongjian waited for her eyes, and when she was hit by Ji Changshi's words, she gently comforted her a few words, and told her to go back to rest.
It's just that when he returned to the room, Ji Shangxie still kept recalling the pictures he dreamed of in his dream yesterday, and his spirit became more and more sluggish.
"Forget it, let's go for a walk in the garden!" Ji Shangye said in a low voice.
Change places and look at the scenery, her spirit may be better.
"Respectfully." When Ah Miao Amai heard this, he quickly changed her clothes and served her to go out.
Now it is the turn of spring and summer, and the back garden of the Hou Mansion is full of flowers and birds. Ji Shangxie took a trip here, and really felt much better.
Walking again, she felt tired and sat down in a gazebo to rest.
The other girls knew that she was coming, and naturally they all avoided it, leaving this quiet world to their masters and servants.
But it didn't take long for Ah Miao to suddenly sweep his eyes to the side: "Who is it?" ”
With a loud cry on her lips, she had already strode over. Then he stretched his arm into the grass, pulled out a person, and threw it directly to the ground.
There was a loud bang, and the ground under his feet shook violently, and the hearts of Ji Shangye and Ah Miao also jumped, just looking at it, you could think of how painful this person had fallen.
But for Ah Mai, who has been learning kung fu with the rabbits every day recently, she doesn't care about this little injury.
After throwing the man to the ground, she took another step forward, grabbed the man up, ripped off the hat he was wearing on his head, and immediately revealed a familiar face.
"Is that you?" Amai whispered.
Ji Shangxie and Ah Miao saw it, and the two of them were also shocked.
"Ah Miao, go and call someone." Ji Shangevil arrived immediately.
Ah Miao hurriedly got up, and the people below hurriedly stretched out their hands: "Evil, don't!" I'm here today for something important to tell you! ”
Ji Shangxie looked at him coldly. "I don't have anything to do with you anymore."
"Now there is! It's Ji Changshi! The people below screamed in pain.
Ji Shangxie immediately twisted his eyebrows slightly.
"Amai, bring him here."
"Respectfully." Ah Mai responded, and with a casual mention, he lifted this person into the pavilion from below.
After half a year, this is the second time he has met her face to face. But this time, in the end, it was just the two of them, and all the idle people were gone.
Yin Changning sighed in his heart, so he called her softly: "Ah Mian......"
"Young Master Yin, please be polite." Ji Shangye interrupted him coldly, "Didn't you say you had something to tell me?" What's the matter, say it! ”
Yin Changning immediately put away the affectionate money on his face, and replaced it with full anxiety. "Ji Changshi came to you yesterday, right? Don't listen to what he says to you. Yesterday he went to visit Chen Yuan in the Taiwei Mansion, and Chen Yuan said a lot of bad things about you to him. I clearly heard the two of them discussing, saying that they would find a way to expose your true colors and make you ruined in Chang'an! ”
