I will open the bronze coffin again, and find Jiang Qingying leaning sideways, scratching the coffin on one side with her fingernails, looking very hard.

There were no marks on the coffin, and her fingernails were not broken.

"Miss Jiang...... Do you feel uncomfortable? I asked her with a frown, because this is usually a reaction due to a particularly uncomfortable body.

Jiang Qingying turned her head to look at me, nodded slightly, and continued to scratch the coffin. Since she was chained, her movements were not very large, but she looked particularly hard every time she scratched them.

I don't know how to comfort her, people who have been poisoned by corpses will be extremely painful, especially those like Jiang Qingying who are still conscious.

A person is obviously conscious, but he can't sleep, and he suffers torture and pain every day and night, maybe they are worried that Jiang Qingying will kill herself by chaining her?

I sighed softly and sealed the bronze coffin again.

If you can, let her sleep for a while.

Yes, I'm too shallow, I only know how to seal zombies, and I don't know how to make zombies sleep.

I read the book for a while, sleepiness set in, and I was ready to close the window and go to bed.

The snow outside stopped again, and when I closed the window, I saw a nine-tailed demon fox on the opposite roof, rubbed my eyes, and disappeared again.

From the first time I met Miss Tang, I always saw the nine-tailed demon fox. I don't know if it's a hallucination or what?

But it doesn't matter, anyway, I can't tell the difference between dreams and reality anymore.

In the next few days, Jinling City looks particularly peaceful, and the New Year may be coming soon, and those chickens and dog thieves will also return to their hometown for the New Year. Therefore, there are no thieves in Jinling City for the time being, and there are no fatalities.

However, I am still a little worried about Wan Qifeng, he suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly. I don't know if he knows about Nanya's return.

Uncle Shi went to the capital to invite grandpa, and when he arrived in Jinling, it was estimated that it was already the end of the year, and it just so happened that we could spend a Chinese New Year's Eve together. I hope that Nanya will be able to rush back then.

Jiang Qingying's condition has not improved at all, which gives me a headache.

Soaking in blood baths, taking medicine, acupuncture, drinking blood, Taoism...... The methods that should have been tried have been tried, but Jiang Qingying's appearance has not changed at all. The only thing that has changed is that the purple color of the hair is getting lighter and lighter.

I don't know how it works, but it's always good.

And the change in her hair color is only after each blood bath. In order to take care of Yao Xiaomei's body, I let Niu Meng bleed once, and the eggs were useless.

I'm very surprised, if Niu Meng is not an ordinary person, what kind of monster should he be? Cow essence? Or boar essence or something? Anyway, it definitely won't be a fox or a cat.

Tang Jinghong seems to have completely hibernated, and after missing a heart, he can't sleep for a long time, well, just sleeping, and his body is fine.

Every day, I would put a bowl of blood on time and let Qin Yuetong take it to the room to feed her.

The snow is still falling, but the weather is getting colder. Yongquan Lake was still frozen, and Chaifeng took people to the lake and sent people to patrol Yongquan Lake every day, which he said was arranged by Nan Ya before leaving.

As for other things, Nan Ya didn't explain much.

Winter life is rare and leisurely, perhaps because everyone doesn't go out much.

In the evening, the sound of firecrackers finally rang out. At first, there was a crackling sound in a long distance, and then the entire Jinling City rumbled, and firecrackers were set off in every house.

The Laba Festival in Jinling City is particularly lively.

There are different opinions about the origin of the Laba Festival, which can be traced back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and is said to be the day of Shakyamuni's enlightenment. This saying is relatively common in the north and is well documented.

There are also two theories that belong to folklore.

The first one is that red beans fight ghosts. Legend has it that the five emperors of the ancient Emperor Zhuan clan had three sons. When his three sons died, they became evil spirits and ran out to scare the children.

Later, people found out that these three evil ghosts were afraid of red beans, so on the day of Laba Festival, every household cooked red bean porridge to drink, and there was Laba Festival here.

It is worth mentioning that the Laba Festival in the north does not set off firecrackers.

Firecrackers are set off in Jinling City because everyone believes in the second type of legend.

It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang was in distress, he suffered in prison, cold and hungry, and was about to starve to death. Then he found some red beans and rice in the rat hole in the prison, and he boiled these things into porridge and feasted on them.

It happened to be Laba that day, so Zhu Yuanzhang called this porridge Laba porridge.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang pacified the world and set the capital in Jinling City, in order to commemorate the day he was in prison, he set the Laba Festival as a festival.

Therefore, when the people of Jinling City arrived at the Laba Festival, almost every household set off firecrackers to celebrate.

When I was a child, I loved to set off firecrackers, but now I don't set them off much, mainly because I am afraid of collapsing myself. When you put a long whip during the New Year's holidays, you always have to take down a lot of firecrackers at the beginning, so that the lead becomes long enough before you dare to go to it.

Niu Meng was taking Xiaoqing Xiaoyu to set off firecrackers at the door at this time.

He flickered the two little maids to light firecrackers. One person sets off firecrackers, and one person sets off two kicks.

Xiaoqing and Xiaoyu were not afraid, so they covered their ears and hurriedly ran to the side after ordering. As described in the afterword, the little girl set off firecrackers, loving and fearing.

After a crackling, there was a large cloud of smoke in front of the door, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The two little maids didn't seem to have fun, and went to get a lot of two kicks to play.

Niu Meng picked up some scattered firecrackers on the ground that did not explode, held the firecrackers in his left hand and the fire fold in his right hand, and after carefully lighting them, he hurriedly threw them away.

Before the firecracker could hit the ground, it exploded in the air, like a child.

Mu Qingchen sat next to me with a smile on her face, she seemed to like watching Xiaoqing Xiaoyu set off firecrackers.

"Miss Mu, do you set off firecrackers during the festival in the demon world?" I asked her.

Mu Qingchen shook his head, "Most of them don't let go, in fact, after many people from the demon clan come to the human world, they don't want to go back." ”

Next, Mu Qingchen said something very philosophical, "Because, only life in the world is like life." I have always believed that God is fair, he has given the demon clan great ability, too long lifespan, and at the same time deprived the demon world of many things.

Although human beings are ordinary, they can experience things that the demon world can't experience. There are no scholars in the demon world, and all the words in the demon world are learned from the human world.

What you gain means what you lose. I've been to many worlds, but only the human world is the most real place, and the rest of the world is too illusory to feel unreal. ”

I don't know how to answer her. Maybe I grew up in the human world, and I am used to seeing the suffering of the human world, and I don't think that the life in the human world is very good.

Or maybe Mu Qingchen is right, life in the demon world is too illusory, and it always feels unreal.

Just like Mu Rong was pregnant with my child, I still feel that this is a dream, and it is a very unreal dream.

Yao Xiaomei, Tang Jinghong, Qin Yuetong and Ying Er were all resting in the room. Except for Tang Jinghong and Qin Yuetong, who need to hibernate, Yao Xiaomei and Ying'er probably don't like to join in the fun.

Cats and dogs have always been afraid of big movements. In the past, every Chinese New Year, when firecrackers were set off, there would always be noisy chickens and dogs jumping, and the local dogs on the street were scurrying back and forth, and there were holes to drill where they were scared.

After the hustle and bustle, Jinling City returned to calm.

I don't like to drink porridge very much, and I don't particularly care about the custom of Laba Festival, so I didn't let Xiaoqing Xiaoyu boil porridge.

After cleaning the streets, it was already completely dark.

I was about to close the door when a man suddenly appeared at the door.

Dressed as a scholar, he looks a little old, in his early forties, a bit like a teacher.

I was closing the door, and he stood in the doorway and looked at me, and he didn't speak, which was very strange.

I frowned, stopped closing the door for a moment, and walked out of the door and bowed to him, "Is there anything wrong with you, sir?" ”

He smiled slightly, "I have heard the name of the Ninth Prince for a long time, and I have come to visit me today." I don't know if the ninth prince can appreciate his face and have a few drinks? ”

I gave my hand again, "Mr. raises love, I don't know Mr.'s honorable name?" ”

He always had a smile on his face, "Zhuge Qingzhan." ”

I was surprised in my heart, since the Chengfu bloody case, many things that have happened have been related to the Zhuge clan, and now the people of the Zhuge clan are coming to the door, is it too much of a coincidence, right?

I also smiled at him and said, "Since Mr. Zhuge is willing to condescend, the junior has no choice but to be respectful and obey." How is Cuiyun Building? ”

Zhuge Qingzhan waved his hand, "The food in Cuiyunlou is excellent, but there is no good wine. Recently, Ying Tian opened a new star-picking building, I don't know if the ninth prince is willing to go? ”

I seem to have a little impression of the Star Picking Building, just when I just returned to Jinling from the capital with Nanya, someone asked me to see Feng Shui, saying that he was going to open a new restaurant, and the name of the restaurant was called Star Picking Building.

However, it was Niu Meng who met with him at that time and conveyed it to me. At that time, I was busy with the Chengfu bloody case, so I pushed it off.

Later, it was gone, but it's been more than two months, and I really haven't heard anyone talk about picking up the star building in Jinling City, maybe it's only opened in the last few days.

So, I confessed to Niu Meng and followed Zhuge Qingzhan away.

Niu Meng originally said that he was going to follow, but I told him that I was fine, and asked him to take Yishui Pavilion to protect Tang girls and them, so he didn't shirk anymore.

Besides, the other party has no malicious intentions, even if it is really a Hongmen banquet, I am not worried.

Someone as capable as Wan Qifeng couldn't kill me, let alone them.

When I walked with Zhuge Qingzhan, I was even more sure that this person didn't know how to do any kung fu, but it was difficult to say whether he was an ordinary person or not.

Someone like Niu Meng, if he hadn't been hit by the Tomb Vine Man once, I would still regard Niu Meng as an ordinary person.

"Dare to ask Mr. Zhuge if he is the queen of the Zhuge clan?" I asked him.

He laughed twice, "It is the eighteenth generation of Zhuge Liang's descendants." ”

His answer stunned me, because Zhuge Liang has no descendants to pass it down.
