Chapter 277: An Unusual Midnight

Yuqin Village, Liansheng Country, Yuqin Tea House.

When Yanyu took Yao'er into the upper room of Yuqin Mingju, he also felt very tired, because it took a lot of Yanyu's energy to reseal Langyue Wolman's tomb outside the city gate of Yuqin Village, under a remote village.

This is the first time Yanyu has tried to seal a huge tomb, but fortunately, every step is recorded very clearly in the goddess's mask, plus Yanyu is already ice and snow smart, and he can learn it, so the whole sealing process is very smooth.

It's just that this process is very cumbersome, and no one else can help, after all, such a sealing ceremony can only be carried out by people of the Langyue Wolman bloodline, so it can only be completed by Yanyu himself.

At first, Yanyu was worried that she was just wearing a mask and pretending to be the goddess and empress dowager, and she was not an orthodox person of the Longyue Wolman clan, which led to the failure of this seal.

Fortunately, at the critical moment of sealing, when Yanyu needed blood certification, Yanyu didn't expect that he actually passed the approval of the sealing ceremony and was successfully sealed.

It's just that in this process, the sealing ceremony absorbed a lot of essence blood from her body, so at the end of the whole ceremony, Yanyu became pale and weak, if it wasn't for Phantom Lotus and Meng Ling supporting her in time, I'm afraid she would have fainted at the ceremony site.

It wasn't until I got back to the carriage and rested for almost half an hour that the smoke and rain eased up, and I felt like I was dead and reborn.

When the carriage returned to the door of Yuqin's house, Yanyu was finally much better, so he took Yao'er's hand and returned to his room together.

Then, after eating a little bit, he took Yao'er to take a bath and fell asleep with Yao'er.

And Yao'er has been very well-behaved during this period, and she is also very close to Yanyu, as if she is dependent on her mother.

Maybe it was because she had been sealed in Langyue Wolman's tomb for too long, and she had just possessed a human body, and Yao'er's mental state was not very good, so after eating a full meal and taking a hot bath, she was also too sleepy, so she naturally fell asleep when she lay down.

As for Yanyu, although he was also very sleepy, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, as if he always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't sleep peacefully, so he tossed and turned until midnight was over, and then he fell asleep deeply.

……

In this quiet midnight, the whole Yuqin Village is very quiet, and it will also make people feel very strange, because no matter how quiet it is, it is inevitable that there will be some unknown insects or cats and dogs.

And silence like tonight's is really rare.

Except for the occasional chilly wind blowing through the cracks in the windows, making a slight "whirring" sound, nothing could be heard.

At this moment, outside the gate of Yuqin Mingju, there are still royal guards taking turns to keep vigil, so as not to let anyone trespass into Yuqin Mingju and disturb the rest of the goddess and empress dowager.

After all, this time, the goddess Empress Dowager personally rushed to Yuqin Village for disaster relief, and in just one day, the plague crisis was completely solved, so the people in Yuqin Village, and even the entire northwest plague outbreak area, are grateful to the Goddess Empress Dowager, a bodhisattva-like woman.

Even the Imperial Forest Army guarding the gate of Yuqin Village felt that their faces were shining, and they all felt honored and proud that they had the honor to stand guard for the Empress Dowager in their lives.

As for General Lin, that is, Ling Fox Mei couldn't close his eyes this night, and he kept recalling the bits and pieces of experience with Yanyu, he also deeply admired this Liansheng Heavenly Daughter named Yanyu, and felt envious that Liansheng Country could give birth to such a woman.

He always felt that it would be good if Yanyu was the woman of their black-tailed leafhopper country, because such a smart, kind and tolerant woman would inevitably be favored by God, not only to bring good luck to her relatives around her, but also to make a country also have good luck.

So he also changed his mind - that is, he originally planned to use Yanyu, and when he finally successfully gained a foothold in the palace and won the imperial power of the entire Liansheng Kingdom, he would kill Yanyu.

Instead, he became a real friend with Yanyu instead, so that Yanyu had a good impression of himself and recognized himself, so maybe Yanyu could be his best helper in ruling the entire Liansheng Kingdom in the future.

Maybe it was because she suddenly recognized Yanyu and dared to pretend to be the goddess and the queen mother, so that the fox charm naturally cared about her safety.

And I don't know why, Ling Fox always felt that Yuqin Village was surprisingly quiet tonight, which made him, a person who has always been careful, feel very uncomfortable, and he seemed to smell a sense of crisis that was indescribable.

So he simply got up, dressed neatly, and came to the door of Yuqin Mingju to inspect it.

After all, the Northwest Plague Crisis has been resolved, and tomorrow he will escort the Empress Dowager back to the Imperial City to resume her life.

So on the last night of Yuqin Mingju, there is no room for any mistakes, he is a man who pursues perfection, and always hopes that everything is under his control, any accident will make him feel very unhappy, and it will become a thorn in his heart, and this thorn will often make him sad for a long time.

When he came to the gate of Yuqin Mingju, those Imperial Forest Soldiers naturally patrolled more diligently and seriously.

After walking around Yuqin Mingju, Linghu Mei didn't find anything wrong, so he walked into Yuqin Mingju, wanting to take a look at everything inside and everything was okay, so he could go back to sleep with peace of mind.

Because he had considered that there were heavy guards outside the Yuqin Ming Residence, and the Empress Dowager was a woman inside, it was inconvenient for the hairy Imperial Forest Army to keep vigil inside, anyway, there were two personal palace maids of the Empress Dowager Phantom Lian and Meng Ling guarding it, so there should be no accidents, so Ling Hu Mei did not send someone to inspect the inside of the Yuqin Ming Residence.

But because of the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, he decided that it would be better to go in and take a look, anyway, it was not big inside, and he could finish it in a while, and he had always acted cautiously and done things carefully, and he thought that he would not disturb the rest of the goddess and the queen mother.

When he gently walked into Yuqin Mingju, he was also extra careful, in addition to carefully inspecting every corner that might hide the killer, and as little as possible to make no sound, or to knock something down and wake up the goddess and the empress dowager.

When he passed near the upper room of the goddess and the empress dowager, he really saw Phantom Lotus guarding the door, cautiously observing any movement around him.

Meng Ling, on the other hand, was resting on her stomach at a nearby table, apparently the two of them should have taken turns on duty for the night.

Ling Fox Charm and Phantom Lotus glanced at each other very tacitly, and nodded again, which was regarded as a silent greeting, and also dispensed with the normal etiquette of greeting peace, just to avoid making any noise and disturbing the rest of the goddess and empress dowager inside.

Afterwards, Ling Fox Mei walked towards the patio in the center of Yuqin Mingju, after all, there is no roof here, it is a small courtyard, if there is really a master who wants to sneak into Yuqin Mingju, then it is a good way to come to this patio from the roof.

Therefore, Ling Fox Charm naturally has to take a closer look.

For this patio, Ling Fox Mei also witnessed Xiangling appearing to meet the goddess Empress Dowager yesterday, and later heard about the appearance of the Soul Devouring Poisonous Ant Queen.

I also know that the stone guqin in the center of the patio has now become a Lingyu guqin.

It stands to reason that if ordinary people knew that there was an undead guqin in this patio and an undead woman Xiangling, they would definitely not dare to come to this patio in the dead of night.

But Ling Fox Mei is not an ordinary person, and he is not a human being, but a terrifying and ferocious black-tailed leafhopper in the eyes of the world, so how can he be afraid of the so-called undead.

On the contrary, for him, it is better to have the undead in this patio, because the goddess Empress Dowager is kind to these two undead, so in order to repay the kindness of the goddess Empress Dowager, Ling Fox Charm believes that once a killer dares to sneak into Yuqin Mingju from this patio, he will definitely be blocked by these two undead.

When walking into the patio, Ling Fox Mei took a closer look through the moonlight in the sky.

"General Lin, here is me and my husband and the undead guarding here, and no one will want to break into this patio, so you can go back and rest with confidence. Anyway, our undead don't need to sleep, and you have to escort the goddess and empress dowager back to the palace tomorrow, this is a long way, it's better to rest early, and tomorrow you can have the spirit to go on the road, just leave it to me to guard. Just as Linghu Mei looked around the patio, Xiangling appeared and said softly.

"It turned out to be Miss Xiangling, you are right, I know that it will be safe with you two here. I just thought that tonight was a little special and strange, and I always felt uneasy, so I came to see it in order to be sure. It's not that I don't believe in you and your husband's abilities. However, don't you think Yuqin Village seems to be a little quiet tonight? Ling Fox Mei turned around and saw that it was Xiangling, and explained politely.

"Hmm...... It's a bit strange when you say that, I remember hearing bugs, or cats and dogs chirping, but it's a bit unreasonable to be so quiet tonight. Maybe you're right to be worried, so why don't I take a look at the patio for you? Xiangling felt the surroundings for a while, recalled it again, and said with empathy.

"Thank you for your understanding, then there is Miss Lao Xiangling, by the way, your husband rarely shows up like you? I've never seen your husband before. Ling Fox Mei said gratefully, and by the way, he pointed to the Lingyu Guqin and asked about Xiangling's husband's undead.

"Because he has incarnated a real guqin, and I am an ethereal rain, he can't appear casually like me, and every time I enter the guqin to meet him. Before you came, I had just entered the guqin and chatted with him for a while. Considering that he had just incarnated into the Lingyu Guqin, he was still very weak, and he needed a lot of sleep to return to normal, so I came out to see you when I saw you coming, just so I let him sleep a little more. Xiangling patiently explained.

"Knock knock knock ......" Just as Ling Hu Mei and Xiang Ling were chatting softly, suddenly a strange sound came from under their feet, and suddenly, Ling Hu Mei and Xiang Ling both became nervous in an instant......
