Chapter 16: The Truth Is Known
Qiu Qinying's sudden confession made me lose my sense of proportion, and I didn't know how to deal with her friendship. I knew she would say something surprising or complaining, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Fortunately, it was not there in the middle of the night.
She should be able to wait for me, in the dead of night, to speak her heart alone. Maybe it was because I was the first foreign man she'd been in close contact with since she left the house, or maybe she had succumbed to a command from her father. But she was so innocent, not only in this sudden marriage, but also in the silence between me and Midnight.
I lay in bed, thinking about it, and never fell asleep. I didn't dare to roll over, because I knew that the sparrow was outside, and every time I turned over before, I could feel the sparrow outside getting up to look at the sound I made. I decided not to go to sleep anymore, but
Lying silent on the field, I didn't feel like I was asleep.
When I woke up again, it happened to be the second day, because I didn't think about when I would get up today yesterday, so I woke up early according to the previous time. The sky outside is gradual, changing from black to white. I got up and heard a voice outside the door, and I knew it was the Sparrow who got up to help me get dressed.
"Where's Lord Qiu?" I had just gone out, and I asked Shibichi.
Shiki looked at Qiu Qinying's room, lowered his head and said, "Probably haven't gotten up yet." ”
I looked like Qiu Qinying's room, thinking about last night's events, and didn't want to disturb her. Before it's too late, I must go to the Forbidden Realm to meet the Wood Commander, this is the previous rule. Before every battle, we have to go there every morning to discuss together, and today is no exception.
"Brother Chi?"
When I looked back, it was Qiu Qinying, she was wearing a light pink Luo skirt, because it was early in the morning, she looked weak. Qiu Qinying should have been waiting for me for a long time.
"Qin Ying, do you have anything to do? I'm going to see Commander Mu, you better wait for me to come back. ”
"No, Brother Chi, wait a minute. ”
Qiu Qinying walked through the hidden path in the garden and walked quickly towards me, because the steps were small, I still saw Qiu Qinying's difficulty. When she arrived, she gave me a piece of jade pendant, apparently to give it to me.
"I can't take it. "I prevaricated.
"No, this thing is not a jade pendant. Although it is not a valuable object, it is left over from ancient times. In the sparks and starlight emitted by the battle between the Que Demon Clan and the Palace God Clan, the Spirit Detective and the Jade Quest were formed. This is Yuxun. ”
"Then I can't take it anymore. "I pushed Yuxun into Qiu Qinying's arms, which made us both very embarrassed.
Qiu Qinying's cheeks flushed slightly, lowered her head, and insisted: "Let's give it to Brother Chi, in fact, the spirit detective and Yuxun have a resonance, I already feel it, Brother Chi is a spirit detective." I am holding Yuxun is just an ornament, in this case, this object is the best for Brother Chi. ”
"Then I'll take it. "I've never liked being too polite, and I can't bear to reject Qiu Qinying's good intentions.
"This is the best, then Brother Chi will go and get busy, I didn't expect me to delay so much. As she spoke, Qiu Qinying tied Yuxun to the belt around her waist for me.
Before I could say anything, Qiu Qinying turned around and left, because I was in a hurry to go to the forbidden realm, and I didn't thank her for anything.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived in the forbidden realm, Jun Youxiao and Midnight were both there under the Commander of the Wood. None of them were wearing the same clothes as last night, and they all changed their usual clothes, but the colors did not change. A few days in the middle of the night is red and black intertwined, I remember I have praised the midnight red to look good, I don't know if it has anything to do with it.
"You're late. Jun Youxiao was the first to say.
"Well, there's never an exact time, it's just that you and Midnight came earlier. "Commander Wood spoke for me.
I walked in and stood next to midnight. Midnight didn't look at me much, she only glanced at me when I first arrived, she probably didn't want to behave too differently in front of the Wood Commander.
Commander Mu was sitting in his seat, but when he saw that we were all coming, he stood up. He slowly walked up to the three of us, raised his head and paced as he said, "This time we have a fierce battle. ”
"Isn't it just about quelling the unrest?" I asked.
"No, this time, the people of the Que Demon Clan are going to make a move. Because the spies in front came to report, the forces of the Palace God Clan also began to make some moves, I am afraid that they know that the Que Demon Clan is coming. As the people who are attached to the Miyajin clan, of course, we can't stand idly by. However, the most important thing is that we break the people of the spiritual realm. ”
Jun Youxiao changed his serious gaze from his previous work and asked, "Isn't it that simple this time?"
"It's harder than we imagined, I thought it was just some turmoil, but judging from the situation, this turmoil should have been instigated by people from the Que Demon Clan. In the face of the various divine powers of the Demon Clan, we are just mortals, so we also need to use some divine power to help. ”
"Isn't it forbidden?" I said suddenly.
"Yes, it's forbidden, but it's still okay at critical moments. But you have to remember that it must be a critical moment, and it is not good to use it early or late. ”
That's true, because if we are early, we will break the taboo, and if we are late, we will lose our lives. But we don't know anything about divine power, or I don't know anything to be exact. Midnight and Jun Youxiao should have been in contact before, and the only time I have seen it is the one in Guan Yunyu, but the current opponent is probably ten million times more powerful than that.
"When are we leaving?" Jun Youxiao asked.
"The sooner the better. ”
This conversation continued, except for midnight, which remained silent. This is not Midnight's style, Midnight has never liked this, and when discussing tactics, Midnight has always expressed his opinions in detail, especially when it comes to the Que Demon Clan. However, this midnight was unusual, making people feel that there was something on her mind.
After leaving, Midnight and I went to the empty building, and Jun Youxiao returned to his own territory. On the way back, I saw Yan Sheng again, and the way he looked at me had changed, no longer the way he used to be, but the way he treated the intruders. But yes, my sudden brother must have made him incredible. Seeing that Midnight just greeted him hastily, I also nodded my head, but I didn't want to attract more terrifying eyes.
"The red you wore today. "I said to Midnight what I had always wanted to say after Yeon-sung left.
He looked at me in the middle of the night, and this was the second time he looked at me, and said, "Didn't you say that you wanted me to wear red, what, don't you look good?"
"No, I'll just say you look best in red at midnight. I didn't expect you to really take my words to heart. I smiled, wanting Midnight to do the same. Actually, it's really nice to laugh at midnight.
But she didn't do what I thought, she reached down and grabbed Yuxun from my waist. Then, Midnight's expression began to change, first with a look of surprise, then with a look of panic. She looked up at me, her eyes fixed on me, as if she had discovered a secret that could not be heard.
"Where did it come from? Not yesterday. Midnight suddenly asked.
"It was sent by Lord Qiu. I replied in a hurry, for fear of angering her.
Midnight sneered and said, "The love tokens have been sent, what else can I say." ”
"I didn't have to give it to me, and I didn't think it would be good if I didn't take it, so I accepted it. It's really nothing, didn't I explain it to you before?"
Just when I couldn't argue, Midnight suddenly turned into a smile and said, "Teasing you." ”
I touched the back of my head, patted Midnight's left shoulder again, and said with a look of rebirth on my face, "It's scary, I really don't know what to do if you're like this." You always come on your own like this, which makes me very bad. ”
"What? It's a thief to be a thief. ”
"I can't talk about you. ”
After returning to my room with Midnight, Midnight sat aside, sent Qishuo away, and asked, "Do you know what this thing is?" After saying that, she pointed to the piece of jade on my waist.
"I know, this is Jade Xun, which can be used with the spirit detective. But I don't know what it's for. ”
"This is used to retrospectively, so that it is not too much of a request, and it can be realized. ”
"What requirements?"
Immediately after that, Midnight said something to me that shocked me.
"Used to reproduce the requirements of the past. Now that you have the ability, think about what kind of past you want to see, and remember not to go too far. ”
After midnight finished speaking, he showed a different smile, this smile only made people feel cold on their backs, and even wanted to lose what they were holding. After watching Midnight leave, I blocked the seven days that wanted to come in. Leave yourself alone here, and no one can disturb you today.
We have already discussed when to go to Jingshan, that is, in two days, we will now straighten out the army, and I can go back now to straighten out the affairs of the house. Jun Youxiao should have left a long time ago, and Midnight will always be the last to leave. Thinking about what I said just now, I was so distracted that I even forgot how I ended up going back.
"The general is back?" asked Lao Hong.
"Hmm. I'm going to Jingshan in two days, remember. ”
I only gave some instructions, and I believe that Lao Hong will handle the rest, he has the ability. As soon as I entered the room and sat down, I heard the sound of people walking outside the door, and I knew that it would only be Qiu Qinying who was coming at this time.
"Brother Chi, is it a disturbance for me to come now?"
"It's okay, I don't have much time anyway. After I leave, Qin Ying, you have to take care of yourself, and this general's mansion will be your own home, so you don't have to be too restrained. I'm not here, and it will be convenient for you in the future, and I'll go to Lao Hong again, he's not a snob. ”
I introduced Qiu Qinying to her and let her feel relieved to live here, I have to put it all in order. But then again, since last night's incident, I've paid a lot of attention to Qiu Qinying, and even think about her living here. Looks like I'm really going to go out for a few days to get back to my old state.
Because she saw my absent-mindedness, Qiu Qinying retired first, and I drove away the sparrow, leaving me alone in the house. Sitting on the bed, I remembered the words of midnight today. I want to know about that past.
I took out the spirit detective who had been hiding in the brocade box before, and put the two things together, which actually made the spirit detective glow yellow. The light was so close to the human eye that I covered my eyes that I felt that the light was unacceptable.
"Destined person, are you looking for me?" is a cold male voice.
Looking at the source of the voice, there stood in front of me a man who was arrogant and cold, worried and carefree, and by his appearance and eyes, I could not tell his age, but at last I felt that it would not be less than thirty, but he had a face that was out of the blue. He was dressed in a white robe, but with light blue trim, and a pair of plain shoes under his feet, so that he could not see the type of fabric. At first glance, it looks like a celestial being.
"Who are you?" I couldn't help but lose my voice in the face of the man who suddenly appeared.
"I originally lived in the spirit detective, but because I met someone who was destined, I came out in the world. My name is Lingyu. ”
"My name is Yan Chenchi. "As a courtesy, I introduced myself.
Unexpectedly, Ling Yu smiled and said, "I know, Xun Shi Yanchen is late, and you have many bloodlines mixed with you. Which one do you want to know?"
I answered his question and gave the answer I had in mind. As soon as I said that, I felt like I was empty, followed by that yellow light. Instinctively, I closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, I was still in my room, facing Lingyu with an expectant expression, and I suddenly wanted to open it. I knew everything I wanted to know, and I was relieved of the resentment in my heart.
"Is this result acceptable?"
In the face of all this, my heart is full of gratitude and guilt, and now I can only make up for it with what I will do in Jingshan next. I want the domain leader to know that I can be trusted. His hard work in me has never been in vain, and I will never fail everything he has done for me.
