Chapter Seventy-One: A Hundred Years of Captivity
"Whew!"
A heavy sigh came to my ears, and the "thing" seemed very disappointed when it heard what I said.
"Are you the demon of the Nine Heavens? Why is it sealed in the wall? Hearing her sigh, I couldn't help but ask, thinking that what had happened to her must have been unusual.
As a result, the response never sounded again, and I thought that maybe the "thing" felt that it was useless to talk to me, and that I couldn't help her, so she didn't want to speak again.
"Xuan'er."
Just as I was thinking this, suddenly the soft and deep woman's voice sounded again, and shouted "Xuan'er".
Xuan'er? I sounded very familiar, and suddenly remembered that Emperor Feng before seemed to call Feng Qingxuan Xuan'er? Does this "thing" know Feng Qingxuan?
"The Xuan'er you are talking about, is it Feng Qingxuan?" I asked.
The other party snorted, and I asked again: "You mean, Feng Qingxuan can save you?" ”
"Xuan'er." She screamed again, followed by another sob.
After sobbing, there was no more movement, and no matter what I said, she would not answer.
This night, I stayed up all night, and when Lao Hei came to deliver food the next day, I proposed to Lao Hei that I wanted to see Feng Qingxuan.
Hei pushed the meal in front of me, shook his head at me without hesitation, and told me that they were only responsible for guarding me here, and they couldn't leave here at will.
"Really?" I looked at the old black.
Black nodded, but his gaze stopped at my wrist.
I lowered my eyes and found that I was wearing a jade jade bracelet on my wrist, this jade bracelet was also given to me by Feng Qingxuan before, I have never been interested in these jewelry, if it weren't for Feng Qingxuan saying that the master should have the appearance of the master, I wouldn't have worn it.
Now, this old black took a fancy to it, so I simply took off the bracelet and handed it to the old black.
"This is for you, you can work hard for me." I looked at him and said seriously.
Lao Hei hurriedly reached out and took the jade bracelet, his attention was on the bracelet, and he didn't listen to me at all.
"If you take this jade bracelet and don't do a good job for me, then the next time Long Jun comes, I will tell him that you have withheld my rations and deliberately tortured me." I looked at Lao Hei coldly and said in a deep voice.
Lao Hei smiled when he heard this, and said, "Master Luo, these days, Long Jun can't come, do you think spiritual cultivation is such a simple matter?" However, don't worry, since the slave has accepted your things from Master Luo, he will definitely do his best to do things for you, and the slave will go to Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
After he finished speaking, he took the jade bracelet into his arms and left happily.
I looked at him like that, and I didn't know if he would play tricks, and now that I was trapped here, I had no way of knowing if Lao Hei would really run errands for me.
I waited until lunch, but Lao Hei didn't show up, and the one who gave me the food box was a little timid looking little demon slave.
"What's your name?" I looked at him and wanted to ask him if Lao Hei had gone to help me find Feng Qingxuan.
The little demon slave lowered his head and replied in an almost inaudible voice: "The master said that he laughed, how can the slave deserve any name, because he is the youngest of the demon slaves now, and he is called Xiaoyi." ”
"Oh, little girl, why are you bringing me food today? Is he out? I took the porcelain bowl he handed me and asked casually.
He nodded: "Well, Brother Hei is out." ”
"Where did you go?" I heard Xiao Qi say that Lao Hei went out, and I thought that he must have done something for me.
As a result, Xiao Qi said: "Brother Hei went to do something for Elder He, but the slave doesn't know what the specific matter is." ”
"Ran errands for Elder He?" When I heard this, I frowned.
This old black man accepted my jade jade bracelet, and he really planned to deceive me.
"Master Luo, I, I, did I say something that shouldn't be said?" Seeing that my face suddenly became serious, Xiao Qi immediately looked at me nervously.
I quickly shook my head: "No." ”
After that, I picked up the food and ate it, looking at the skinny skinny and skinny in front of me, I took the initiative to give him a piece of meat.
He looked at me stunned, as if he didn't understand what I meant.
"Eat, I won't tell any other demon slaves." When I had finished speaking, he still did not dare to eat it, so I left the meat in the bowl and when I had finished eating, I pushed the bowl to him.
Only then did he turn sideways slightly and devoured it.
"Wipe the corners of your mouth clean so that no one can see it." I glanced at the grease on the corner of my mouth and reminded.
Xiao Qi nodded, swallowed the meat, and thanked me.
I nodded at him slightly, and was about to sit down to rest, but the little man tidied up the dishes and chopsticks but didn't leave, standing in front of the cage door, as if he had something to say.
"What's wrong?" I asked, looking at him.
Timidly, he took out a white lump of cotton-like from his sleeve and held it in both hands.
"Master Luo, this is for you, you, if you stuff it into your ears, you won't hear anything." As he spoke, he boldly looked up at me.
I looked at the cotton and frowned slightly: "You can also hear women singing at night, right?" ”
Xiao Qi shook his head vigorously: "I can hear it here, I also told Elder Crane about this, Elder Crane told me to treat it as if I didn't hear it, if anyone spreads this matter, they will kill all the demon slaves who guard the golden cage." ”
"That's what you heard?" I listened to Xiao Mi's words and thought about it.
Maybe it's because he's cowardly by nature, and he looks like he's afraid of everything, and when he was in the mortal world, he also said that the timid are more likely to attract ghosts, which should be the same reason.
And I was very frightened that night because the candle flame suddenly went out, so I heard the song of the "thing".
"Did Elder Crane tell you that the "thing" here is a ghost or something? I looked at Xiao Qi and wanted to ask.
As a result, he shook his head like a rattle, saying that Elder Crane wouldn't let him ask more, but he was sure that the cry had been there since he first came to the Golden Cage on an errand.
"When you first came on an errand? When did you stay in this golden cage? I asked.
"About two hundred years ago, when the golden cage was not about demons, I only needed ten days and half a month to inspect it." Xiao Qi replied.
I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard it, more than two hundred years ago? Yes, I almost forgot that they are demons, and they have a very long lifespan.
It's just that this sound has been there for more than 200 years, and maybe the woman has been trapped here for hundreds of years.
"Master Luo, if you sleep with this, you won't be able to hear the sound, you give it a try, and the slave will retire first." After speaking, Xiao Qi leaned over me and left.
