Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Seven Star Beidou Temple
Xiaoli said lightly: "There are bugs, throw them away!" ”
Xiao Chuyun was a little surprised by this, but it was also expected, at that time, the insects in the Hundred Worm Valley had already crawled all over the body, and it was time to throw them away.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chuyun suddenly remembered a very important question, turned his head to look at the white belly pocket under the pillow, Xiao Chuyun asked a little embarrassedly: "Miss Xiaoli, you have taken care of me these days, have you faked your hands to others?" ”
Xiao Li shook his head indifferently, Xiao Chuyun was also a lot more relieved, and finally removed a big stone and lay on the bed very leisurely, and Xiao Li slowly retreated when he saw this.
Not long after Xiao Li withdrew, Xiao Chuyun tiptoed to the wardrobe, carefully opened the wardrobe, and saw the scene in the wardrobe, which made her breathe a long sigh of relief, fortunately it was not empty.
But the truth is not as good as she imagined, the wardrobe is full of Yin Yunqi's clothes, but Yin Yunqi is half a cut taller than her, a fourteen-year-old girl, so that her, a short man of 1.5 meters, wears a robe on her body, like a clown jumping off the beam.
"Forget it, big is big! Affectionate sister, didn't I wear a mopping skirt? I hate the sky and wear it, let alone this big robe! Xiao Chuyun looked at the wardrobe and said.
Xiao Chuyun casually picked up an inconspicuous white cotton robe, took it to the bed with a slender belt, put it on decently, watched the elder drag out on the ground, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and simply folded the half of the robe on the ground directly to the belt, and tied it to the waist with the slender belt, but most of the legs were directly exposed.
However, fortunately, the cotton embroidered boots she was wearing were still there, and she didn't go too far anyway, so she wouldn't be too far away from freezing.
Xiao Chuyun plugged the door bolt on the door tightly, and then tiptoed to open the window, although this room is the second floor, but this is not difficult Xiao Chuyun, think she woke up that year, became a nine-year-old child, in order to return to the modern era, she can climb over the wall more than once, from the second floor to the first floor She is familiar with the road.
She slowly climbed out of the window on the second floor, gently hooked the window door frame with her hand, hung herself between the second floor and the first floor, saw the right time, let go of her hand, and at the moment of landing, her toes were bent on her knees, and the force that fell from the height was instantly unloaded, and she landed safely and half-squatted on the ground.
Xiao Chuyun glanced at the roof, so as not to be discovered by Yin Yunqi, who was admiring the moon with He Miaoxing upstairs, so he walked along the root of the wall all the way.
She knew that in this era, this feudal society, the curfew system was exercised at night, and if there was nothing to do at night, she was not allowed to wander on the street anymore, and her big night was not to go to the medical hall of the god doctor, but to go to the Xiao Mansion that was burned to ashes, the place where she could only go back in her sleep.
The entire mansion of Xiao Mansion was burned clean, except for the outer courtyard wall, which was still standing there, except for the whole Xiao Mansion that could not be burned, almost even the trees were burned and only one root remained, only a willow tree on the side of the courtyard wall was half burned, and even the courtyard wall was blackened.
Therefore, there is no seal in this whole Xiao Mansion, and there is no one to handle it, and at night, this is a place with a gust of wind and a terrible hell.
Xiao Chuyun trotted all the way to the door of this Xiao Mansion, looking at the Xiao Mansion that was once beautiful, poetic, and pavilions in his dream, and only a black and dark wall was burned down, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Xiao Chuyun, I hope you don't lie to me!" Xiao Chuyun's eyes were red involuntarily, and he walked up the steps step by step and walked into the Xiao Mansion.
In the coma of the past few days, although Xiao Chuyun remembers to be in a daze, she remembers that Xiao Chuyun, who was nine years old in her dream, frequently appeared near the rockery, if it was really because of the injured bird, she would not have risked being punished into the ancestral hall several times, a young lady who was regarded as the pearl of her palm by her father, she couldn't even bring a bird back!
With the memory in the dream, Xiao Chuyun came to this rockery again, and saw that although this rockery was blackened, it was still safe and sound, and she couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved.
"Xiao Chuyun, what are you going to tell me? Why do you always have to come to this rockery in your dreams and always climb it? When the words fell, he looked at the rockery and paused and said, "Don't tell me, you're really just playful."
Xiao Chuyun touched the cold rockery, circled the rockery, and didn't find anything wrong, seeing that there was a half-human-high hole under the rockery, she bent down and drilled in, it was not as dark as she imagined.
Today, the moonlight is surprisingly bright, illuminating a small hole in this rockery, and it is no longer possible to reach out and lose sight of the five fingers.
Xiao Chuyun walked into the hole, the height was just enough for her to stand up straight, and after a closer look, there was nothing strange about this hole, but there was a circular notch on the top of her head, which seemed to be artificially polished, otherwise it would not be so round, which became the only strange thing.
After turning around, I found that in addition to this half-human-high hole, there was an arch diagonally opposite the rockery, which was just enough to pass a person, and the height was the size of an adult man.
Xiao Chuyun walked towards the rockery stone wall, although the stone wall was uneven and cold and piercing, she couldn't understand how the rockery in a normal person's home could be designed like this.
After carefully touching it, the stone wall of this rockery has no traces of being deliberately excavated by artificiality, and it is extremely smooth from top to bottom, and there is not a groove to speak of.
Xiao Chuyun walked out of this small hole, leaned on the rockery, looked at the ruins in front of him, his eyes were involuntarily red, his nose was sour, he rubbed his eyes, looked up at the sky and looked at the bright moon, and lamented: "You don't really like to come here to play, do you?"
With a few sighs, Xiao Chuyun looked at the highest part of the rockery, holding the last glimmer of hope, turned around and walked to the side of the rockery, closed his eyes and recalled the appearance of climbing the rockery in his dream, took a deep breath, and from this lowest place, then the moonlight carefully climbed to the top of the rockery.
Sitting on the top of the rockery and looking at the past, Xiao Chuyun suddenly found that the layout of the entire courtyard of the Xiao Mansion was like the pattern of the Big Dipper, and the six courtyards and the back garden where the rockery was located happened to be connected into seven stars.
Xiao Chuyun sat on the rockery, looking at the ruins of the courtyard and the traces of the pile of scorched wood left after the six courtyards were burned, she somewhat verified the conjecture in her heart, at least proved that in addition to the secret of the Pisces Jade Pendant, this Xiao Mansion has another ulterior secret, otherwise this Xiao Mansion would not be built according to the pattern of the Big Dipper.
"This Xiao Chuyun, who used to love to climb rockeries the most, will he also discover this?" Xiao Chuyun muttered in a low voice.
Seeing nothing special, she climbed down the rockery.
As soon as he went down, he saw two black-clothed people not far away, walking towards this side, so frightened that Xiao Chuyun immediately hid behind the rockery, and he didn't dare to make a sound, nor did he dare to move half a step.
The two black-clothed men walked around the small lake next to the rockery several times, Xiao Chuyun looked back, and saw that the two black-clothed men seemed to be looking for something, and walked towards the rockery after searching for no result.
Xiao Chuyun saw that the two of them were getting closer and closer, and there was nothing to avoid around, but if they ran away like this, they would definitely find out, thinking about it, in a hurry, they picked up a stone from the ground, and threw the stone from the side of the rockery to the side of the collapsed house in the distance.
didn't run far, the two men in black chased after them, and before Xiao Chuyun even went out of the gate of Xiao's Mansion, he was surrounded by the men in black one after the other.
"Who are you?" A man in black took out a soft sword from his waist and pointed it directly at Xiao Chuyun.
Xiao Chuyun said with a wit: "I...... I'm called Hanako, and it's almost the end of the year, so I went to this Xiao Mansion to find out if there are any valuable objects and exchange them for a few silver coins. ”
The man in black didn't seem to believe this statement, looked up and down and said, "Will Hanako wear clothes worth dozens of taels to beg for food?" You shouldn't be Xiao Chuyun, an orphan of the Xiao family, right? ”
As soon as the words fell, the man in black put the soft sword on Xiao Chuyun's neck, and with just a slight movement, her neck was about to split into two and turn red. At this time, I only heard the man in black say viciously: "Hand over the Pisces jade pendant, otherwise your head will fall to the ground immediately!"
Xiao Chuyun looked at the black-clothed man beside him a little helplessly, now she couldn't run away, and there was no one to help her, so she said casually: "I'll give it to you, don't kill me!" Xiao Chuyun saw that the man didn't speak, but just took off the soft sword, so she said again: "I'll take you there?"
These two people followed Xiao Chuyun inch by inch, originally thinking of taking a detour and getting rid of the two of them, but now they are following more and more closely, and there is no way to get rid of them.
"I'm here for things, come here if you want them!" Suddenly, a very loud voice came from behind them.
As soon as Xiao Chuyun and the two black-clothed men turned around, they looked at a person standing in the dark behind him, and a jade pendant had already appeared in his hand, and one of the black-clothed men chased after him, Xiao Chuyun saw this, raised his hand and patted the arm of the black-clothed man beside him, and said with some sneering: "Hey, aren't you going to help him?" If you can't get the jade pendant back, aren't you afraid that your master will blame you? Xiao Chuyun saw that this person didn't react, so he said again: "I'm a thief, and this dress on my body was also stolen, do you think I look rich?" Would I wear one of these if I had the money? ”
As soon as these words came out, the man in black glanced at her, then turned around and ran in the direction of his companion, at this time Xiao Chuyun let out a long sigh of relief, and just as she was about to leave, someone suddenly grabbed her hand, which startled her.
"Little lady, come with me!" Yin Yunqi took her hand and said.
"Yin Yunqi? How are you? Xiao Chuyun said in surprise.
Yin Yunqi looked at the person in front of him, couldn't help but smile, bent down slightly to get very close to her, looked at her eyes, put his finger to her lips, and said, "Shhhhh My men have lured them away, and the men in black will come back when they come back to their senses. ”
Xiao Chuyun nodded a little hesitantly, and before she could speak, she saw Yin Yunqi looking at her in her ear intentionally or unintentionally and whispered, "I didn't expect it...... The little lady wears my clothes, to really have a different flavor, if the little lady likes it, I will let someone make two bodies for you another day, let the little lady change to wear, how about it? ”
