Fifty-four. Attacked

July 19

The lazy morning light came in through the window lattice. The early morning air is filled with the smell of light rain, chirping chirps, and a hundred flowers blooming.

Early in the morning, the horse governor changed into civilian clothes and hurried out of the gate of the Chang'an Palace.

The princess, who was woken up by the movement of the concubine, was also sleepy, and at this time Ling Xian'er sent the new slurry washed to her to put it on, and the place where the golden bucket walked was ironed smooth and clean, occasionally bringing out some warm sweetness. She wrapped herself in a big hat, lazily walked to the garden in the middle of the temple, and broke a branch of new cinnamon and inserted it in the pine sideburns. He looked carefully at the small mirror in his arms, and in a trance, a figure flashed in the mirror! When he looked at it again, it was just a woman who had not been dressed! I felt bored, took off the flowers on my sideburns and threw them in the small pool: "Let's go, go home." ”

The two of them turned around and returned to the palace, and Yueniang chose a tortoiseshell comb grate to comb her hair. Ling Xian'er brought her a brand-new dress and put it on, applied powder makeup, and her mouth was fat, no longer depressed, no longer frightened, no longer panicked, everything was so perfect.

Until Su Jue appeared beside her with an object: "Princess, this Yingluo is not easy to leave, why don't you bring it?"

When he saw that the filth suddenly changed his mood, he hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing with it? ”

Yue Niang hurriedly stopped the princess: "That Yingluo symbolizes light, you have had it since you were born, and you are reluctant to take it off on weekdays, how can you throw it away now? Besides, the Qingying girls are not still there? I hope it can bless the princess with peace and health!"

As soon as she heard their names, the princess was disgusted, reached out and grabbed the things in Su Jue's hand and walked out, but Su Jue was startled by this sudden movement and did not react, and stood there motionless. Tan Yue'an, who happened to come in outside the door, collided with her, and saw that she snatched Yingluo and rushed out, while the two people inside were trying to stop her.

He lifted his hand, held Yingluo in his hand and asked, "Why is the princess angry? It's better to take down the official and be angry?" Don't hurt this Yingluo person!" Tan Yuean knew that this Yingluo person was powerful, and it was more useful than a hundred of himself and a thousand Su Jue.

The princess stared at him and muttered to herself.

"You people, how do you know that I have hidden worries in my heart? But you don't know what is in this jewel! What should I do? Hey......

Retracted his gaze: "Let's go home, this Chang'an Palace is not where I live for a long time." ”

Yue Niang took the things that Ah Xi was holding in her hand, carefully wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them in the lacquer ceremony: "I was a little hasty when I came, I didn't bring many things, but I saw the captain of the horse last night and cleaned up with them on the night I came back, and I can go back after eating." If you are tired of bringing this Yingluo and lose it, it is a pity, it is better to keep it first, and if you want to bring it one day, you can find it again, princess, do you think this is good?"

couldn't resist a few of them, so I had to let them mess around: "Just take it first." In fact, the princess thought in her heart that it would not be too late to throw them away when she returned to the house while they were away. It was close to noon before he came out of the palace. Mother looked forward to the return of her children every day, and when she heard that the princess had returned to the house today, she saw that someone from outside reported that the princess had entered the house, and hurriedly came out to greet her, and then went to the grandmother's room to greet her. The princess said something about the court, it was nothing more than that her father and Liu Lang were busy with something now, and she had seen Liu Lang and he was in good health, and his complexion was as usual.

When the sun was approaching, he went back to the princess building to rest, and when he retreated, everyone lay alone in the bed, and a dark shadow flashed outside the closed window when he was not sleeping.

"Who?"

I could only see the black shadow swaying up and down, mixed with a rustling sound, like a storm sweeping sand and rocks, and like fine raindrops lapping the window lattice. Sensing the danger in the air, he suddenly rolled off the bed, retreated to the north wall and groped for himself, trying to find something to defend himself from, but he only found some useless small boxes, and the movement outside the window changed from small to large, and the wind roared, and slammed into the house violently, and the sound of the slapping seemed to tear off the whole window along with the wall.

The gust of wind blew more and more fiercely, and I heard only the sound of "bang--", and the wind blew through the window with sand, gravel, dead branches, and a few droplets of water, and rushed into the house like a mad beast.

The evil wind was very powerful, blowing her whole person on the north wall and couldn't move, the original fine gravel, because of the strong wind, the gravel turned into countless hidden weapons, hit her face and body, the pointed gravel inserted into the flesh, smooth wounded muscles and bones, barely slightly open eyes to see the figure at the tuyere, pulled out the saber from the waist, the cold light flashed to her, just at this moment, I don't know where to touch something, so that all my strength to block in front, the blades touched, only to see clearly, the sword in the hand is blue and blue, reflecting the human face, this is not good, it is terrifying to see it。 On the opposite side was a pair of scarlet eyes, as if the pool of blood was stained with filth. The short nose was turned and the foul fangs exhaled, the mouth was flowing black and evil water, the skin on the face was ulcerated, and the arms were shocked with white bones. This look, this kind of strength must be an ordinary person. Then the evil wind blew up the blue fire on the blade, and in an instant the flames rose, and the whole room shone as if it were day.

The man with the knife on the other side looked like a fang-faced yaksha...... It's not! Be... Qiu Shituo!

The monster in front of him turned out to be the dead Qiu Shituo? He was not only ugly in life, but even uglier after death.

Feeling emotional, Qiu Shituo's left fist slammed into her abdomen, and the pain broke out on her head with green tendons and cold sweat, colic in her stomach, and her whole body was cold.

Due to the effect of the evil wind, he was restrained and his hands and feet were difficult to move.

At this critical moment, the ghostly light flickered, and Qing Ying strangled Qiu Shituo's neck with a long whip from behind, and took the peach branch given by cold incense and plunged it directly into Qiu Shituo's heart, so as to stop the evil wind in the house. Without the restraint of the wind, Qingying attached herself to the princess, holding the phoenix falling flame in her hand and slashing at Qiu Shituo. With a knife falling, he blocked the knife in front of his chest, and the skin and flesh of the burning enemy Tuo were scorched.

Qing Ying raised the tip of the knife, slashing obliquely from the shoulder to his chest, the strange pain threw away the long knife in his hand, while he was empty-handed, a knife pierced his entire chest, and in an instant Qiu Shituo was surrounded by the blue flames, and he scurried around the house, the bed, several cases, beams, pillars, doors and windows, and the things that were not human and ghostly were all burned to ashes.

Liquan took out the fire beads to cover her and the green fireflies in her body, and several people flew out of the window of the black hole and landed under the princess unharmed.

After a while, the downstairs was full of figures, Chongyue Niang was distressed and anxiously asked if she was okay, Ling Xian'er took out the Yingluo in the lacquer from the warehouse, Tan Yue'an took care of her body, and Su Jue put a big coat on her. This fire really frightened the mother at home, and she brought someone to extinguish the fire at night, and it is strange that the blue fire only burned one room and did not spread outward. The water in the servant's hand seemed to be useless to the flame, and when he came to the door and looked inside, it seemed that there was a curtain of blue fire, so he could only exit the building, and the group of people waited downstairs at a loss.

The mother comforted and said: "The princess is fine, it is fortunate that she is safe, and it is not a way for us to wait downstairs in such a panic, since the fire cannot be extinguished, it is so strange why not find the Taoist who can drive away evil spirits at home to try?"

With a panicked face, she looked at her mother: "Daoist? Xiao Daoist people are away from this place and are in the four fields, and now their whereabouts are unknown, since it is okay, it is better to stay until tomorrow morning, and find someone to see, at this moment, it is late, it is not good to disturb my grandmother and other neighbors." ”

Her mother rubbed her shoulder: "Grandmother was a little frightened when she heard that there was a fire upstairs, and now she is waiting in the house......"

"What? Grandmother is frightened? Ah, go and see! Mother, let's go back too." ”

The princess didn't dare to keep anyone in the building, so she only found a room elsewhere in the mansion to stay, Ling Xian'er cleaned up the bed, and put Yingluo intact in her hand: "I just saw Liquan in the crowd, this Yingluo is still good to carry with me!" Yue An went back and forth, saying that the old lady's body was only slightly frightened and there was no big problem, and she had already slept at this time, so that the princess could rest assured. ”
