Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Circle
What the hell is going on? Jing Xin frowned slightly.
This formation seems to be very simple, only composed of some strange geometric patterns, but there is no special law.
Seeing this, Nightcoat hurriedly walked over, squatted down by the magic circle, gently picked up some soil that had seeped into the "blood" with his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it, threw down the soil in his hand, got up and said to Jing Xin: "This is not blood, it's cinnabar." ”
Jing Xin hummed and agreed. It was certainly not blood, as she had never smelled a of human blood in the first place. However, she was more concerned about the contents of the circle.
But this magic circle seems to be very large, and the remnant array in one corner of this courtyard is estimated to be less than one-tenth of the original array, and it is still a simplified version, and she can't see the reason for it for a while. I only know that this formation should be the product of the combination of the formations of the demon world and the human world.
What's even more bizarre is that Jing Xin's first feeling after seeing that formation is that this formation will move, and it will operate in a certain order according to a certain law, as if it is alive.
Nightclothes saw that she was so fascinated, and said, "Can you understand this formation?" ”
Jing Xin shook his head truthfully.
After thinking about it for a long time, both of them had no clue.
Or Nightcoat proposed: "This black light can't really be seen, it's better to go back and rest first, and come back tomorrow to check." ”
Jing Xin nodded, remembered something, and said, "You can wait until tomorrow morning and ask the neighbors if they have seen a large number of people coming and going here." ”
The nightcoat was off, and the two walked out the door together.
Jingxin's heart was in a mess, and her friend who was still chatting and laughing with her during the day suddenly received the news and left, and then disappeared. She had to take care of it.
And everything that happened tonight was too weird, first Yan Qing asked the night clothes to convey the information of his departure, and after that, everyone in the small courtyard disappeared, even Xiaolian, who was physically inconvenient brought back last night, also disappeared, Xiaolian's room had a splash of demon blood, and there was still an unfinished formation left outside the courtyard, what the hell happened here?
Jing Xin couldn't figure it out for the time being. After thinking about it, a chill slowly spread on my body.
Late autumn has arrived, and the cold is gradually eating away at everything, and in addition to the darkness around it, it is slowly flooding with a hazy and dense color. Only then did she realize that it was foggy.
Because the Taoist priest had told him not to use spiritual power during this period of time to stabilize his spiritual power, except for pranayama and meditation, he did not want to use spiritual power to ward off the cold.
Accompanied by the chill came sleepiness, and she felt that her head was already a little heavy, and she couldn't keep her spirits up.
Perhaps, it was a good decision to go back and rest for one night and come back.
Even though she's just a fox, it doesn't matter where she sleeps, and it doesn't hurt to just rest here for a night. However, perhaps she had just seen something strange here, and she was a little uneasy, or perhaps it was the sense of security that the grocery store or Arou had brought her, so she decided to go back to the grocery store.
Before leaving, Jing Xin asks Nightcoat where he lives and learns that he lives in an inn not far from here. But when Nightcoat asked her where she lived, she replied that she would go to him for something, and Nightcoat didn't ask anything more.
The two parted at the gate of the ginkgo courtyard.
When I returned to Arou's room in the grocery store, the lights were all out, and Arou and Axue should have fallen asleep, Jingxin changed back to the appearance of a fox, tried to keep her movements small, and gently pushed open the door of the room.
There was a small bed large enough for one person to sleep in the small room, and Ah Xue was lying on her side, sleeping soundly, her chest was slightly undulating, and she made a long breathing sound.
Jing Xin slowly pushed the door back again, and was about to walk towards Ah Rou's bed inside, but felt that something was wrong and looked up to the other side.
Unexpectedly, this look scared her a lot.
Arou was sitting at the table next to the window in a white bedrobe with something in her hand, which looked like a jade pendant and other ornaments, with long tassels underneath. Arou didn't have any expression on her face, and she was stunned.
Outside the window, there was already a white fog, and Jing Xin felt cold through such a distance, wasn't she cold?
What's going on? Could it be a ghost? Jingxin's heart was pounding, and he walked inside cautiously, and saw that there was indeed no one on the bed, so he walked towards Arou who was sitting by the window step by step.
Arou found out when she came in, and when she saw her now walking towards her with a surprised face, she smiled lightly, put down what she was holding, and stood up.
Jing Xin was a little relieved. I wanted to see what she was holding before, but I had to give up because the fox was too short.
But seeing Arou walk in front of him first, she squatted down and whispered, "Why did you come back so late?" Let's go out and fool around again. She didn't want Jing Xin's answer, but when she saw her, her heart suddenly softened and she wanted to talk to her.
Just like this, one person and one fox looked at each other for a while, but Ah Rou was defeated first and touched the back of Jingxin.
Sure enough, even through the fur, Jing Xin felt the cold temperature of that hand, how long had she been here!
Jing Xin was thinking about this when she saw Arou shivering, rubbing her hands together to close the window, and yawning as she walked towards the bed.
Sure enough, it was cold, Jingxin hurriedly walked to the side of the bed, and was about to fall asleep on the side of the bed, when he felt that he was picked up by Arou with both hands, put on the bed, and hugged her. Jing Xin felt the cold temperature on her body, and suddenly understood why she had let herself sleep in her bed.
Jing Xin was not polite, and after a while, he found a comfortable position next to Ah Rou and lay down, and Ah Rou gradually lost her movements.
It was so late, she should have been very tired, and after a while, Jing Xin heard the sound of heavy breathing in her ears.
The night is getting darker, and the chill is getting heavier and heavier, for some reason, Jing Xin's brain is awake at this time, and she has completely lost the feeling of distress when she was in the ginkgo courtyard before, and everything today is showing in front of her eyes like a marquee.
Suddenly it occurred to me that Nightcoat said that his master made a bet with Yan Qing's master, so the master of these two should be friends. But he himself and Yan Qing are not familiar with each other, so why did Yan Qing ask him to deliver the message for him?
After thinking about it for a while, Jingxin's mind was still a mess, but he subconsciously felt that the breakthrough should be the night clothes, and Xiaolian or the courtyard.
After faintly having some directions, after a while, Jing Xin felt a wave of sleepiness come over him. Soon, she fell into a deep sleep and melted into the quiet autumn night.
