When I returned to Yishui Pavilion, I found that everyone was sitting in the main hall. Miss Tang asked me eagerly, "Where have you been?" Why did you come back so late? ”

Yao snorted lightly, "Where else can I go, Yihong Courtyard." I went back to my room to rest. ”

After speaking, Yao walked towards the second floor.

No, why is this woman so fickle, she was still affectionate just now, and she turned her face when she said it.

Miss Tang immediately got angry, glared at me and asked, "What are you doing in Yihong Courtyard?" ”

"When I came back, I ran into a monster and chased it to Yihongyuan, but I was still a step late, and I was killed by a monster and a girl."

Miss Tang's expression immediately changed, and she looked a little surprised, "Huh? How was he killed? ”

I recounted what happened in Yihongyuan with a slight alteration.

You see, it's still a simple girl who is easy to deceive. In fact, I didn't mean to deceive her, I just didn't want her to be more angry because of the misunderstanding.

After all, when the girls hear that men go to Yihong Courtyard, they will always make up some things in their own minds, as if they have to do something in Yihong Courtyard.

After listening to what I said, Mu Qingchen frowned slightly, "Has the Ninth Prince heard of Christianity?" ”

I nodded, "Slightly heard." It is a foreign sect, and it is said that Matteo Ricci Luo Mingjian came in. During the period of the Ming God Sect, the minister Xu Guangqi believed in Christianity, but I was not interested in Western sects and did not know much. ”

After I finished speaking, Mu Qingchen nodded lightly, "Jiugongzi has already said almost, and now there are many people in Daming who believe in Christianity. I've done some research on this sect.

In this sect, there is a kind of monster that they call a monster, called a vampire. The origin of vampires is no longer clear. According to records, vampires have an endless lifespan, are afraid of sunlight, and only haunt at night.

They will sleep in the coffin forever, and after 10,000 years they will not die, they will only dry up. Once it comes into contact with fresh blood, it will be resurrected.

Vampires are afraid of garlic and crosses, and cannot enter other people's houses unless invited by the homeowner.

They can transform normal humans into vampires through some kind of special ritual.

And vampires think the same as normal humans.

Vampires are said to have the ability to teleport, and once they don't suck blood for a long time, their skin will turn white and cracked. But...... The origin of vampires is thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty, and even across the ocean. Each ethnic group has its own range of activities, and it will not leave easily until it is absolutely necessary.

Therefore, I have only heard of this kind of youkai, but I have never seen it.

Hearing what the Ninth Prince just said, he thought of this kind of monster, but what the Ninth Prince saw may not be this kind of monster. ”

"I see, thank you Miss Mu for reminding me. Let's go and rest, my uncle has already gone to the capital, Jinling has not been peaceful recently, and I will try to go out as little as possible during this period. ”

Actually, I don't want to associate that yokai with something from the West. After Zheng He went to the West, he did bring a lot of Western items and knowledge.

Sects are such a thing, no one can say for sure. Since the introduction of Buddhism in the Western Han Dynasty to Middle-earth, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has always existed. All kinds of rumors emerge one after another, and it has long been impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

Not to mention the sects on the Western side.

But the thing called a vampire that Mu Qingchen said may be related to what happened in Jinling.

After all, vampires have the ability to live forever, and they are not like zombies, although zombies can survive in the tomb, zombies have no mind.

Since the Chengfu Bloody Case, everything is because of immortality, so will they also go to the West to find answers?

Things seem to be getting more and more complicated......

After everyone left, Miss Tang suddenly pulled me aside, gestured to the second floor with her eyes, and asked, "Sister Yao, is she sleeping in your room at night?" ”

"Huh? Can't you? ”

Miss Tang pursed her mouth, "What's impossible, there is a bathroom on the second floor, and your room is on it, she didn't come down when she went up, isn't she going to your room to sleep?" ”

I scratched my head, "That'...... I'm going to squeeze with the cows. ”

"Don't be, you better go up and accompany Sister Yao, otherwise she will be unhappy again. Anyway, the two of you live together now in the open, and no one will say anything. Miss Tang pursed her lips slightly, looking like she was still a little jealous in her heart.

I touched her head, "Okay, go and rest, if you want me to accompany you, I can also go sleep with you." ”

"Who wants you to accompany me, say something that is not ashamed." Miss Tang smacked me on the chest and ran away with a puff of smoke.

For people like me, emotional problems are really difficult to deal with.

I couldn't sleep for a while, and stood alone in the doorway looking at the snow.

The wind was much lighter, and the blow on the face did not have the pain of the knife cut before, but it felt cool.

Watching the snowflakes slowly fall to the ground, I suddenly thought about Nanya, and I felt extremely lonely.

It stands to reason that I should be content now. There are people who like me, and there are people who like me. Don't worry about food and clothing, even if you get married in the future and live in the demon world, you can live a worry-free life.

However, many mysteries have not been solved, and many things have not been completed.

Uncle Shi said that the memories I had sealed by my grandfather would not be unsealed until I was completely mature.

I'm a little scared now that what happened when I was a child could lead my grandfather to seal my memories.

I was worried that those memories were terrible memories, and as Uncle Shi said, I couldn't bear those memories.

I'm also worried that if Song Zhaoying can't be resurrected, what will happen to me and Tang Jinghong?

Mu Rong's pregnancy, how can I talk to Tang Jinghong and Yao Wei?

It seems that I have no worries about food and clothing, but I am facing problems everywhere, what should I do?

At this time, someone stood next to me, in order to put on a coat, "Can't you sleep?" ”

It was Yao's mocking voice.

Although the name Yao Mulan is better, but I am used to calling her, and I am still used to calling her Yao mocking.

I smiled at her, "No, let's go back and rest." ”

Yao nodded and took my hand.

When I went upstairs and walked to the door, Yao asked me, "Do you want to take a bath?" ”

"No, I'm a little sleepy."

"Well, let's rest, then." Yao Xiaomei pulled me into the room.

Like a bride-to-be, she was busy in the room, washing up, pouring water, pouring tea, and making the bed. Although it looks clumsy, it can always be organized.

I walked over and hugged Yao Xiaomei's waist, "Don't be busy, just find two maids in the future, and leave this kind of trivial matter to the maids." ”

Yao turned to look at me, her face was a little embarrassed, and she nodded slightly.

I pecked lightly on Yao's forehead, "You lie down first, I'll wash my feet myself." ”

"How can that, as a lady, shouldn't you serve your husband to wash her feet and feet?"

"What's the matter, I'm not the emperor, I have to be served by someone."

Yao smiled slightly and did not continue to argue. She stripped off her shoes and socks, revealing two delicate feet. Then he pulled up the futon and lay down.

After lying down, the black veil on the shoulders disappeared. The two collarbones are slightly curved, and the entire shoulder is trimmed as if it had been shaved.

At this time, I realized that the single futon that I had built myself had been replaced, and now it was a new double quilt.

I smiled helplessly, washed my feet briefly, took off my coat, got up and blew out the candles, and lay down next to Yao Yimei.

She dragged my arm under her head and put it on the pillow.

The two of us just lay side by side, neither of us spoke. Not only next to each other, but also at just the right distance.

Maybe it's because of each other's tacit understanding, some things still haven't reached the point of being a matter of course after all. Although there has been a skin-to-skin relationship, after all, there is still a lack of etiquette.

You can't just do something that is confusing.

---------------------------

Early the next morning, I woke up before dawn, Yao Xiaomei was still sleeping, originally pillowed on my arm, but now it turned out to be pillowed on her own arm.

Yao Xiaomei estimated that she slept very deeply, and there was a slight snoring sound.

I couldn't bear to disturb her, so I got up quietly.

Niu Meng is already waiting for me downstairs, although Uncle Shi is leaving temporarily, but the training cannot be delayed. Especially after experiencing the incident of Wan Qifeng, I am more aware that I am still very weak.

I can't protect myself, and I can't protect the people around me.

The snow stopped again, and Niu Meng and I carried a basket of stones on our backs and ran out of the city.

The air in the early hours of the morning appears clearer, and every time I breathe, a cool breeze enters the body, and I feel that the whole lung is cold.

Niu Meng chatted with me while running, "Brother Jiu, you have to exercise diligently in the future." ”

"Why?"

"Can you cope with marrying so many demon clans? Isn't there a saying that there is only tired ploughing oxen, and there is no pear-bad land. ”

I glanced at Niu Meng, "I said Mengzi, what do you think about every day?" Besides, I'm Jiulang, you can add the word night in front of it, and you will understand. ”

Niu Meng said "Huh" in disgust, "I think you get up nine times a night, hahahahaha......"

I really want to press Niu Meng's big face into the snow pit now!

When the two of us ran to Yongquan Lake, we ran into Chaifeng, and he had just changed shifts with Chaifeng, patrolling back and forth between Yongquan Lake and Yuanfu.

After chatting with Chasing Feng for a few words, a loud call came from the city gate, "Nan Gongzi, something is wrong!" Something happened to the Mansion of the Ministry of War! ”

I frowned and said to Chasing Wind, "Let's go, take some people over to have a look." ”

So I unloaded the stone behind me with Niu Meng, and hurried towards the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department with Chaifeng and dozens of guards.

Although Jinling's military department is also a book, it is just a fictitious position. There are Jinyiwei here, and if something happens, they will definitely be the first to notify Jinyiwei.

The soldiers who came to report told us that it was Shangshu of the Ministry of War who sent someone to the Jinyi Guard Detective Spirit Division to report the case, saying that his daughter was missing, and there were bloody words left on the wall of the house, so I must go over and take a look.
