Chapter 60 Follow Me
Wulin Chinese Network ., the fastest update of the reborn puppet is very popular with the latest chapter!
The dishes ordered by the cicada were directly delivered to the room, and two sweet and salty four-color snacks were added, as well as a pot of tea, all of which were served by An Ruomu himself.
The cicada's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about the heat, so he immediately dragged out the bacon and chewed it.
An Ruomu poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Xia Yuanshan.
"What are you going to do with me?" Xia Yuanshan spoke.
"I'll wait until the hall master comes back." An Ruomu didn't know what to do with him.
"You're a prisoner, your sentence hasn't expired, what do you want? It's not going to let you wander around here. Cicada said vaguely.
Xia Yuanshan looked at An Ruomu with inquiry in his eyes.
An Ruomu didn't answer, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Xia Yuanshan stopped talking, it seemed that he had expected it.
"What about me?" Mu Qing was very worried, afraid that she would be locked up, afraid that the place where she was locked would be in the dark depths of the ground.
"All the same, we have to wait for the hall master to come back." An Ruomu smiled, "But don't worry, he will make proper arrangements." ”
At this point, Mu Qing didn't want to say anything more.
For a while, no one in the room made a sound, only the most heartless cicada, who ate his mouth full of oil, and pulled the small snack aside, with a slightly disgusted look.
"This is Qingzhengtang's homemade begonia cake, mung bean cake, crab shell yellow and radish shredded cake, try it, it's delicious." An Ruomu is to relieve the awkward atmosphere.
"If it's delicious, give it more, look at what you brought, a small piece by a small piece, it's not enough to stuff your teeth." The cicada's breath "snorted".
An Ruomu frowned, and was about to say something, but thinking that he was the first to start, he had to swallow the words that came to his mouth.
Cicada breath began to be unrelenting: "And this dish, what's the matter, dried mushrooms are delicacies from the mountains and seas, and you are reluctant to give it to me?" There are only a few of them, you count, count, and you can count them on two hands. ”
An Ruomu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, but in the end he still remained polite: "The delicacies of the mountains and seas are not enough, but now is not the time, the flag tree mushroom has not yet grown, we rummaged through the warehouse to find a few of them, I counted, one, two, three, four, ......."
As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers to count, and at the end, he smiled and said, "Sixteen, two hands are not enough, and you have to add toes." ”
"A batch of flag tree mushrooms has been produced in ten years, and the yield is not high, you suddenly said that you want to eat it, it is good to be able to take out so much." Xia Yuanshan took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"This thing tastes peculiar, not everyone likes it, and if you eat too much, your stomach will be swollen, shouldn't you be able to leave a lot left?" The cicada was unconvinced, "I think I just can't bear to give it to me." ”
"That's right, I ate too much and bloated." An Ruomu poured another cup of tea, "How can you be reluctant to say it, it's good for you not to give more, come, take a sip of tea, moisten your throat." ”
Cicada rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.
"An Protector, I want to go around the courtyard with Mu Qing." Xia Yuanshan's request was a little sudden.
"Turn?" An Ruomu was stunned, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"It's too dark in here." Xia Yuanshan pointed out the window.
An Ruomu turned his head and saw that outside the window, only two meters away, was a large tree with lush foliage, completely blocking the moonlight.
"Mu Qing wants to absorb the essence of moonlight." Xia Yuanshan said again.
An Ruomu reacted, and his face was embarrassed.
"If you don't feel at ease, you can send a few more people to follow us." Xia Yuanshan put Mu Qing on his shoulder.
An Ruomu thought about it, but did not reply immediately.
"I've been abolished for hundreds of years, and now I don't have a working puppet, so I can't run." Xia Yuanshan was very aware of An Ruomu's worries, "Besides, I will never trespass on the forbidden land of your Qingzheng Hall, besides, the things stored in it are here now, so it can't be regarded as a forbidden place, right?" ”
An Ruomu looked at Mu Qing, but still didn't say a word.
"Let them go." Cicada breath waved his claws, "Mu Qing was refined a day earlier, won't you be able to get the puppet back a day earlier?" ”
An Ruomu thought about it, their words were right, gritted his teeth, and agreed.
And he himself originally wanted to accompany Xia Yuanshan and Mu Qing, but because the injury had not healed, he came to run before and after running for most of the day, and ordered someone to release Ling Hu, telling Zhuo Zijiu about the whereabouts of Zhuo Zhuo and Rongquan, and went to the warehouse to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find dried mushrooms.
Xia Yuanshan took Mu Qing out of the room, walked around the courtyard three times, and finally stopped at the verandah, facing the courtyard and stood still.
"It's a good place." The moonlight spilled obliquely on Mu Qing's body.
"Do you remember what I said?" Xia Yuanshan's voice was very soft, and his lips barely moved.
"What?" Mu Qing has had too many exchanges with him.
"Be quiet." Xia Yuanshan reminded, "The first time we met, in the tree hole. ”
Yes, of course Mu Qing remembers that many times, her conflict about whether to go to Qingzheng Hall or not comes from this.
"Didn't you say they'd pull me out? Will the puppet break after pulling me out? Mu Qing lowered her voice and leaned into Xia Yuanshan's ear.
"Qingzheng Hall has been guarding this puppet for nearly a thousand years, and the position of the hall master has been passed down secretly from generation to generation, if they don't know anything, no one believes it." Xia Yuanshan turned his face to the other side and looked at the scenery.
After a pause, he said: "I made the puppet, I did it according to the requirements of my employer, and now that I think about it, this employer should be a person from Qingzheng Hall, most likely, it is the previous generation of hall masters." ”
"If the things in the puppet are really harmful, it's not strange to make a container that can only enter and not get out." Mu Qing was speaking for Qingzhengtang.
Xia Yuanshan sighed indistinctly: "Rong Quan said that Qingzhengtang will wait for a virtuous and capable person from the demon clan to hand over the things in the puppet - this thing is not Qingzhengtang's, it has to be returned, if you can only enter and not leave, how can you return it?" ”
Mu Qing was silent.
"This can only be in but not out, it must be a cover." Xia Yuanshan came to a conclusion, "Didn't An Ruomu also say that we will not know how to 'arrange' us until the hall master comes back." ”
Mu Qing just didn't want to believe it: "An Ruomu is here, he will explain to the hall master." ”
"It's true that he is the protector of the Dharma, but if you think about it, this matter is related to the secret of the Qingzheng Hall, and it is impossible for the hall master to have him present when he 'arranges' us." Xia Yuanshan slightly quickened his speech.
Mu Qing "chuckled" in her heart, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she couldn't help asking, "Then what should I do?" ”
"Come with me." Xia Yuanshan's voice was so light that he almost couldn't hear it.
Mu Qing was stunned, a little undecided.
"I have an old friend at the dock who can get there in two or three days by a small boat." Xia Yuanshan's speed of speech became faster and faster, "There is a place with a reef in that area, and no one can go through it except me. ”
"It's been so long, and your old friend is still here?" Mu Qing was a little worried.
"Yes." Xia Yuanshan smiled slightly and slowly paced in the verandah.
Mu Qing saw him like this, and suddenly understood something: "Don't be your ...... again"
Xia Yuanshan's fingers tapped on Mu Qing's back, intercepting her words halfway.
"How do you get out?" Mu Qing thought of another question.
Xia Yuanshan didn't answer, but sat down on the railing: "That's it, wait for it, tell me." ”
Mu Qing stopped asking, closed her eyes, and settled down.
I don't know how long it took, but the moon turned around, and the moonlight could no longer shine into the verandah.
Mu Qing opened her eyes and touched Xia Yuanshan.
Xia Yuanshan understood and nodded at the two people who had always followed behind Qingzhengtang.
Back in the room, the cicada was lying on its back on the bed, snoring profusely.
Mu Qing suddenly hesitated a little: "Are you sure?" Can you really go? If you are chased back......"
Xia Yuanshan's index finger pressed on his lips and let out a "shhh".
Mu Qing didn't dare to make a sound, she didn't even dare to make a big move, she just rolled her eyes and looked around.
Xia Yuanshan listened for a moment, relaxed slightly, but only said "rest assured" and didn't speak.
And so they sat quietly until the day was about to dawn.
"What the hell is going on?" Mu Qing thought, if it really can't work, let's not leave.
Xia Yuanshan still didn't squeak, stood up, and put Mu Qing on his shoulder.
"Cicada breath." Mu Qing didn't dare to speak up.
"I can't do it." Xia Yuanshan's words were concise and to the point.
"If it ...... again," Mu Qing thought of the words that Cicada Breath said when she was on the boat.
"Can't catch up." Xia Yuanshan showed some impatience, "That's the canal, this is the sea." ”
Before he finished speaking, the man had already left the door.
There was only one person on guard, and after asking "what's the matter", he saw Xia Yuanshan's shoulders move slightly, and a small pinch of white powder entered the guard's nose like a worm.
The guard immediately couldn't move, and stood on the spot, except for the blink, and there was no other movement.
Xia Yuanshan had a clear goal, and he moved towards a certain place unhurriedly, and along the way, he only met two or three people, and every time he arrived, he would stop and ask An Ruomu where he was, so that until he reached the backyard, no one was suspicious.
Mu Qing was very nervous, and unconsciously clenched Xia Yuanshan's collar.
Xia Yuanshan turned his head to look, made sure that there was no one here, and dodged behind a large pile of firewood piled up in the corner of the courtyard.
Standing in front of the two of them was the courtyard wall, and the gap between the wall and the firewood allowed only one person to stand sideways.
Mu Qing was even more panicked, and faintly heard footsteps coming.
Xia Yuanshan's face was solemn, and he squatted with effort and care, reaching out to push the bricks in the corner.
One time, two times, I don't know if it's because of the age, or because of the lack of strength, the bricks have never moved.
Mu Qing had already heard the voice of the person giving the order.
Xia Yuanshan was also anxious, gritted his teeth, and finally pushed the brick into a depression.
In an instant, his feet were empty, and his whole body fell into the hole.
Because of the momentary weightlessness, Mu Qing was startled and let out a short exclamation, but fortunately, the entrance of the cave was only open for a second or two, and then closed silently, isolating all sound and light.
Mu Qing couldn't see anything, but she could feel that this was a slope, and Xia Yuanshan was sitting, sliding deeper and deeper into the ground like a slide.
