Chapter 11: The Three Reunions
Although it is only an inconspicuous small wooden door in front of the door of Geju, there is a hole in the door.
Rockery ponds, pavilions and corridors, small bridges and flowing water, green tiles and white walls, here is full of the gentleness of the Jiangnan water town, if it is not for the garden always lingering in the snake demon atmosphere, Ziyu actually thinks that he is playing in the garden.
The two snake demons who had escorted them all the way here disappeared as soon as they entered.
A man in a gray robe who looked a little old while leading them around this garden, Zi Yu didn't dare to use spells, and pretended to be godless all the way, of course, he couldn't tell whether the man in front of him was a human or a demon.
The man led them to a large courtyard, which was very large, surrounded by very high walls, and where there were dozens of small wooden houses among the dense forests and bamboos, like a small village hidden in the mountains.
The man stood at the gate of the courtyard and did not move: "You each find a room to live in, and someone will come to bring food later." Tomorrow we will meet with the Sect Master and the assessment. ”
As soon as the man's words fell, the girl in the courtyard walked forward in an orderly manner, and Zi Yu had no choice but to follow, and then scattered and found a room to enter.
This house is not big, but it is quite spacious, which is much better than in Yangzhou before.
Zi Yu entered the room before she relaxed her vigilance a little, rubbed her somewhat sore neck and raised her feet and walked indoors. The interior is very simple, with a bed by the door, covered with an embroidered quilt, and a dressing table next to the bed, on which are placed mirrors, combs, and some toiletries. Opposite the bed was a half-open window under which a chair was placed.
Ziyu walked over to the chair and sat down, standing on the windowsill with one hand to support her head, and pushing the window open with the other. The scenery outside the window is excellent, and the green bamboo is handed over to the cool breeze, which is pleasant.
Ziyu was refreshed by the slow wind, and couldn't help but completely unload her guard for a while. Zi Yu wanted to sit on the chair and take a little rest, but she accidentally fell asleep on the windowsill.
Ziyu slept comfortably here, but Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang, who were waiting outside, were a little anxious. Zi Yujin has been away from Geju for most of the day, but there is no news from the White Tiger Jade Pendant, and there is not even a simple word of safety. Ling Sushuang no longer knew that it was the first time that she had sensed her own body through her spiritual sense, the white tiger jade pendant hanging between Zi Yu's neck, but she never responded at all.
"Flowing fire, was Ziyu discovered by the sect leader?" Ling Sushuang couldn't help but ask with some worry after another failed induction: "I still can't contact her, if she is discovered by the sect master, or if any of the two Dharma protectors find out, she doesn't have the ability to protect herself......"
"Don't panic, let's go in and have a look." After Ji Liuhuo said this, he flashed into the Song House in the next second.
Ling Sushuang did not hesitate at all, and followed closely behind Ling Yun and went in.
There is a very high wall outside the Song House, and the opening is only a small door, Ji Liuhuo thought that it would not be too big inside, and it should be a very simple matter to find Ziyu, but he didn't want to end up getting lost here.
The area here is equivalent to a small town, and the scenery is extremely beautiful, but Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang have no time to enjoy the scenery, just fly through one courtyard after another, carefully exploring the breath of Ziyu and Ling Sushuang's spirit bodies.
However, they found no trace of Ziyu, but because of this, they accidentally bumped into a conversation between the Scarlet Song Sect Leader and his two Dharma Protectors on the left and right in an open-air pavilion.
Ji Liuhuo was not afraid of them, and directly stopped the cloud above them and began to listen to their conversation.
Ling Sushuang originally wanted to continue looking for Zi Yu, but seeing that the three snake demons had no different colors on their faces, she probably guessed that they had not discovered Zi Yu's true identity.
If they found out that Zi Yu was mixed in, they would definitely be able to guess that she and Ji Liuhuo were still meddling in this matter, and it would definitely not be like this. Thinking like this, Ling Sushuang calmed down and eavesdropped on their conversation with Ji Liuhuo.
The two of them came just in time, as it sounded as if the conversation had just begun.
Since Ji Liuhuo and the two had fought with the left and right protectors, they quickly identified the identities of the three demons.
The Scarlet Song Sect Leader stood with his back to the left and right protectors, and his voice couldn't hear joy or anger: "Everything is done?" ”
"Yes, it went well." Left Protector Dao, casually sat down on a chair in the pavilion, "Big brother, sister-in-law, she ...... Are you okay? ”
"It's still the same, lethargic." The sect leader turned around and sighed lightly: "I often want me to do this, will Ah Li blame me when he wakes up and finds out?" ”
Hearing this, Zuo Protector hurriedly said, "Big brother, sister-in-law will definitely understand your hard work." ”
"You don't have to comfort me. I knew that if she knew that she had picked up her life in this way, she would rather not have survived. But I knew that I did it anyway, as long as she lived, I didn't care about the rest. ”
The Left Protector stopped talking, just looked at the Right Protector, who was sitting next to him with an unfathomable expression, as if pleading for help. The right protector didn't say anything when he received the look, but shook his head at the right protector.
So the three demons fell silent again.
Seeing this, Ling Sushuang glanced at Ji Liuhuo, nodded and directly withdrew the invisibility technique, flipped down from the clouds, and landed directly in front of the three demons.
The three demons were stunned when they suddenly saw a woman appear in front of them, and it was the right protector who reacted first, and hurriedly reminded the other two demons: "Be careful, it's that female monk!" ”
When the Right Protector finished shouting this, he had already begun to cast spells on Ling Sushuang, and the other two also reacted quickly to the words of the Right Protector, and retreated together to pinch the trick to help.
It's just that in the next second, the three demons found that their strength seemed to be suppressed and restrained.
Only then did Ji Liuhuo slowly appear and get down from the clouds, walked into the pavilion unhurriedly, found a chair to sit down unhurriedly, unhurriedly sorted out the corners of his hair and clothes, and after doing this, he said slowly: "Three, let's talk?" ”
Ling Sushuang couldn't help but smile and circled around the three snake demons with a satisfied expression. What trapped these three snake demons was the net made by her and Ji Liuhuo in imitation of the net made by trapping the turbid snake net back then, and when she came down to attract the attention of the snake demon, Ji Liuhuo laid it, this was the first time to use it, and the effect was not bad.
Ling Sushuang was worried about Ziyu in her heart, but she didn't hesitate too much, and when the Scarlet Song Sect Leader asked what they wanted to do, she went straight to the point and said, "Let go of the girls who were sent today, otherwise you will never want to come out of here in your life." ”
Ji Liuhuo saw the expressions of the three demons in his eyes, and a conjecture surged in his heart, but his face was silent: "Maybe there is a way to save the sect leader's wife." ”
When the sect leader heard this, there was a trace of entanglement on his face, but the right protector had an extra heart, and pretended to say disdainfully: "I didn't know that just a monk can come back to life?" ”
"If you don't try, how do you know if you can? What's more......" Ji Liuhuo paused and looked at the Scarlet Song Sect Master, "It's better than replenishing the soul with the soul, and the resentment is riddled with resentment, and it will not end well." ”
Although Ling Sushuang was a little unclear, when he saw that the Scarlet Song Sect Leader's face was already shaken, he immediately added an appropriate sentence: "Those who know the times are Junjie, smart people should know how to choose, Sect Master, what do you say?" ”
"Okay, I promise you." The sect leader gritted his teeth and replied, turning his head away from looking at the disapproving gazes of the Dharma Protectors on the left and right, "Please let us out first." ”
Ling Sushuang smiled and raised his hand towards the net, but he only let go of the end and released the Scarlet Song Sect Master, "The sect leader will lead the way, and when the people who should be released are released, your two brothers will naturally be able to come out." ”
With the sect leader personally leading the way, Ji Liuhuo and Ling Sushuang didn't have much effort to come to the courtyard where Ziyu was closed.
Because there were too many houses, the two had to look for them separately, while the sect leader stayed at the entrance of the courtyard and waited for them.
The first to find Ziyu was Ji Liuhuo.
He searched several houses one by one, but only found girls who were controlled by the snake demon's poison, but at this time, Ji Liuhuo had no time to take care of them, but hurried to the next room.
The Ji Liuhuo found Purple Joy in the ninth house. He entered the room while shouting his name, but there was no movement in the room, and he wondered in his heart, and when he saw that the bedroom door was hidden, he pushed open it and went in.
Ji Liuhuo saw that by the window opposite the door, a little girl in a snow-blue gauze skirt was sitting crookedly on a chair with her back to him, the girl was lying on the windowsill with her hands on her sideways, and she was sleeping soundly with her face on her hands. A thin cool breeze occasionally brushed her cheeks, raising wisps of green silk like ink to fly in the thin sun, quiet and serene.
Ji Liuhuo sensed the aura of the white tiger jade pendant carried by the girl, and finally calmed down.
Somehow, Ji Liuhuo couldn't bear to disturb the girl who was sitting by the window and sleeping soundly with a shallow smile on her face. He slowed his breath, closed the door lightly and retreated, and notified Ling Sushuang, who was looking for someone on the other side who was a little crazy.
When Ziyu woke up, it was already dusk, and the sky was slightly dark. She stretched and got up in a daze, but in the next second she said, "You're awake." The words are instantly energetic.
"Sister Sushuang, is that you? I'm not dreaming! Zi Yu looked at the bright-eyed woman in front of her as if she couldn't believe it, and stayed in place, and what shocked her even more was that she saw Ji Liuhuo, who was sitting behind Ling Sushuang and quietly watching her.
Ling Sushuang was a little funny when she saw Zi Yu like this, and she couldn't bear to blame her, she just lowered her head slightly and looked at Zi Yu with a gentle smile: "Zi Yu, this is not a dream. We're coming for you. ”
And the next moment, Ziyu had already rushed into Ling Sushuang's arms, and her voice was a little choked: "Sister Sushuang, I miss you so much." Zi Yu said and poked her head out slightly, revealing half of her face to Ji Liuhuo and said a little embarrassed: "Brother Liuhuo, I miss you too." ”
