Volume 1: After the Year 7
Yun Jinshu opened the book, a face enlarged in front of Meng Xingxue's eyes, and when she turned her eyes, Xie Si, Wen Ruyu and Jiang Yousi were all around her.
"You've been kicked out too?"
Xie Si said: "Not really. ”
Jiang Yousi answered: "Gongzi Wen and I were called out by Lord Yunjun, and Gongzi Xie came out by himself. ”
Wen Ruyu nodded: "After you left, Lord Yun scolded Dean Ouyang again. ”
Meng Xingxue smiled: "You will kill Ouyang Changqi sooner or later." ”
Yun Jinshu sat beside her, crossed Erlang's legs, and said arrogantly: "I will work hard." ”
"It's still early, why don't we go out shopping?" Wen Ruyu asked.
"It's boring to go shopping, or..."Jiang Yousi proposed: "Let's go to the back mountain to catch pheasants." ”
Meng Xingxue clapped her hands in agreement: "Good idea, just go, it just so happens that I'm hungry." ”
So, the group came to the back mountain 'mightily', but I didn't expect Jiang Yousi to be a master of catching chickens, and after a while, he carried two fat pheasants.
Meng Xingxue dug some soil, picked a few tender leaves, and lit a fire to make a flower chicken.
The fire is getting hotter and hotter, and the aroma of the chicken gradually overflows, making people swallow their saliva.
"It smells so good." Wen Ruyu rubbed her hands with a look of anticipation.
After smashing the sludge and breaking the leaves, a strong smell of chicken wafted out, and several people were already hungry, tearing the chicken and feeding it to their mouths.
"Hmm~ melts in your mouth, it's the first time this county lord has eaten such delicious chicken."
"Mmmmmmmm
"It's so delicious, thank you, Brother Wen."
The three of them ate with relish, and a chicken soon had bones left.
Meng Xingxue smashed open the second chicken, tore a fat chicken leg and handed it to Xie Si, and specially wrapped a vegetable leaf so as not to stain his hands.
Looking at the chicken leg that was still steaming, Xie Si's deep eyes lit up, and his tone was a little stiff: "Thank you." ”
Meng Xingxue pursed her lips and smiled, "What's polite." ”
She ripped off the other chicken leg and opened her mouth to enjoy it, but she didn't know that an inexplicable wind blew and the chicken leg in her hand disappeared?
“…..”
“… Alone... Unicorn? Yun Jinshu was stunned at first, and then rejoiced, "Mom, this is a unicorn,, I can actually see the legendary unicorn in my lifetime?" ”
The unicorn that eats with relish and licks his lips is not Xiaobai, who else can it be?
Meng Xingxue's surprised facial features distorted slightly, and she said angrily: "Where did you come from?" ”
Xiao Bai picked up the chicken leg, chewed and swallowed the bones, licked his lips like an aftertaste, and then explained: "I came here after I separated from you that day, and I found that this place is full of spiritual power, and it is close to you, so I lived in this wood." ”
Wen Ruyu was surprised and said, "Ah Li, is this unicorn your contract beast?" ”
Although Meng Xingxue didn't want to admit it, she still nodded.
Hearing this, Yun Jinshu sighed regretfully, "Pony Xiaoma, it would be nice if you were mine." ”
Xiaobai shook his ponytail and said, "I don't like you, I like Ali." ”
So, in just a second, Meng Xingxue didn't have time to react, and the rest of the chicken in his hand was stuffed into his mouth by Xiaobai with meat and bones.
Iniquity.
Meng Xingxue closed her eyes, calmed down her anger, and sighed: "You are really good for nothing but being able to eat, I poured eight lifetimes of blood mold before I signed a contract with you." ”
was so disgusted, Xiaobai was not happy at the moment, the big oil mouth rubbed towards Meng Xingxue, and comforted: "Don't be angry, I don't eat in vain, I have been wandering around in the back mountains for the past few days, but I have made a big discovery." ”
Meng Xingxue rolled her eyes and didn't hold out any hope: "What a big discovery?" ”
"You come with me, I want to prove it to you, I don't just eat and don't do it."
Several people looked at each other and followed Xiaobai into the woods in confusion.
On the way, Xie Si quietly handed the chicken leg to Meng Xingxue, and his thin lips lightly opened: "Here you go." ”
Meng Xingxue was stunned for a moment, and said a little funny: "No need, you can eat." ”
Xie Si didn't withdraw his hand, he kept that posture, Meng Xingxue couldn't help it, reached out and took the chicken leg, shook the chicken leg and said, "Thank you, there is a chance to make one for you alone next time." ”
"Okay." His voice is very charming, with a bit of pampering.
followed Xiaobai for about a quarter of an hour before stopping, and there was nothing unusual in the four rounds, but there was a well, and it seemed to be a long time ago.
Meng Xingxue walked around the ancient well, and didn't notice any difference, she looked at Xiaobai: "Don't tell me, the big discovery you said is this ancient well?" ”
Xiaobai nodded, with a rare seriousness: "It looks really ordinary at the moment, but at night, the moonlight will emit a mist when it enters the well, and then dozens of murderous corpses will crawl out, walking in the same direction as if they were summoned, and they will all come back after the rooster crows at dawn... I've been here for more than half a month, and I've been stumbling upon it for several days, every day and night. ”
As soon as these words came out, several people looked at each other and expressed their puzzlement.
Xie Si asked: "Have you found out, who and what is manipulating?" ”
Xiaobai shook his head.
Yun Jinshu circled around the ancient well, frowned, and said, "I haven't heard of anything different in the city in the past few days, and the murderous corpses will not be unharmed, right?" ”
Jiang Yousi agreed: "What the county lord said is extremely true, you can't be mistaken, right?" ”
Hearing this, Xiaobai was anxious: "How is it possible?" I'm not blind. ”
Hearing this, several people were confused and speechless.
Meng Xingxue looked at Xie Si and proposed, "Why don't we wait until the evening to find out?" ”
Xie Si bowed slightly.
Yun Jinshu and Jiang Yousi also nodded in agreement.
Wen Ruyu, who had never spoken, looked flustered at the moment, and said hesitantly: "Or... Forget it... They didn't hurt anyone..."
Meng Xingxue thought he was afraid, and said comfortingly: "The behavior of the murderous corpse is curious, if you are afraid, go back first." ”
Wen Ruyu's voice was very soft, and she said, "No... I... I'd better follow you. ”
Waiting until the moon was on the branches, the ancient well had not moved, and the other three people had woken up from a round of sleep while leaning on the stones.
"Why hasn't it shown up yet?" Meng Xingxue yawned and was a little sleepy.
As soon as he leaned on the stone and was about to take a nap, Xie Si whispered, "It's here." ”
As he spoke, the moonlight shone into the wellhead, and layers of white mist emerged from the ancient wellhead in a moment, spreading to the entire forest, blocking the view.
"The white mist is poisonous, hold your breath."
Xie Si glanced at it, raised his hand and waved out a blue light, enveloping the three of Yun Jinshu in an aperture to prevent further poisoning.
With a roar like phlegm, dozens of murderous corpses crawled out of the ancient well one after another, and they walked in one direction as if they were neatly organized.
Meng Xingxue and Xie Si were both shocked by the scene in front of them, and the two looked at each other tacitly and secretly followed.
The night was deep, as silent as ink, and there were a few stars scattered on the black sky.
The group of corpses fell crookedly and fell into a group of black and dark mountains, and walked down a path in an orderly manner towards the back mountain, although they were murderous corpses, they knew how to avoid the main road, and they walked all the way on small roads, and they looked like they were familiar with the road often.
Meng Xingxue frowned: "It's strange, they don't look like they're being summoned or manipulated by something." ”
Xie Si's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was very cold: "It's obsession." ”
"Obsession?"
Xie Si nodded slightly, explaining: "They should often repeat their current actions before they are alive, and their obsessions are so deep that they can't forget them when they become murderous corpses." ”
After walking for about an hour, the corpses stopped in front of an abandoned courtyard and pushed the door open.
"What is this?" Meng Xingxue looked at the familiar and unfamiliar courtyard in front of her, and her heart trembled.
Meng's old home.
"How did they get here?" Meng Xingxue jumped onto the roof and looked in by the moonlight.
I saw that the group of murderous corpses actually picked up brooms and small hoes to clean up the ground covered with dust and weeds...
On the side, Xie Si's light-colored eyes stared at her tightly, and he involuntarily raised his hand to hold Meng Xingxue's already clenched hand, and the cold touch made Meng Xingxue feel 'ah'.
In the courtyard, the movements of the corpses in their hands were stagnant, and their faces showed a terrifying and fierce light, and they all looked at each other.
Meng Xingxue twisted her eyebrows, grabbed Xie Si's arm and jumped off the roof to hide behind the broken wall not far away, and her fingers formed a red magic seal to hide the breath of the two.
The group of murderous corpses went out of the gate to investigate for a long time, and after not smelling the breath, they returned to the old house crookedly.
In this way, Meng Xingxue put her mind at ease, turned her head to look at Xie Si, and said a little angrily: "What did you do just now?" ”
Xie Si didn't reply, his shallow glass eyes gently stared at Meng Xingxue's hand holding his arm.
Following his line of sight, Meng Xingxue's eyes shrank slightly, and he hurriedly let go of his hand.
Perhaps embarrassed, she simply turned away.
Xie Si withdrew his arm, quietly put his other hand on the place where Meng Xingxue had just pulled it, and the corners of his mouth raised shallowly.
After a sharp rooster crow, the group of murderous corpses walked out of the house in an orderly manner and left along the route they had come.
"Brother Xie, come along, I still have some things to do."
Hearing this, Xie Si glanced at the house and said, "Well, see you in the study." ”
With that, Xie Si followed in small steps.
-
Pushing open the gate, every corner of the courtyard was clean, the tables, chairs and benches were worn out but neatly arranged, and as she passed through every corridor and room, she would recall the morning and twilight of her childhood.
The Meng clan is the only immortal gate in the ethereal continent that enters the Tao with charms, not compared to the way of the sword and the way of weapons, the weapons of the Meng clan are charms and magic seals, but even so, the later Meng clan can still ride the dust in the Xianmen family, which is beyond the reach of the dust.
At that time, they lived in Jiangnan, and they lived a chic and unhappy life. But later, for some reason, my father wanted to teach the Meng Talisman to others, so he moved to Sun Moon City to buy this small mansion and opened the door to recruit monks.
After a long time, his fame also grew, and his father received the favor of the emperor of the dynasty, not only rewarding him with a big mansion in the center of the city, but also inviting him to Xingyun Academy to be a gentleman.
"Baby, let's try the eight-treasure porridge made by A-Niang."
"Bah, Niang, it's so spicy"
"Ah yes, I'll taste it....uh... Bah, bah, bah....I'm sorry baby, my mother seems to have put the chili noodles as brown sugar..."
“….”
Touching the dusty stove, Meng Xingxue remembered her mother's dark cuisine when she was a child, and smiled bitterly. At that time, she still hated her mother's cooking was unpalatable, but now... I don't have a chance to eat if I want to.
When she came to the backyard, the maple tree was no longer as lush as it was back then, and the morning breeze blew away the last of the maple leaves that were about to wither and floated to the feet of Meng Xingxue.
She bent down to pick it up, touching the leaves of some horns, and her mind drifted back to years ago.
