14. Unexpected death, water spirit resurrection!
Bai Suli heard the shouting outside, and the fox's eyes just moved, and then closed them.
Her duty is to protect the Third Highness, and if she goes out rashly, she may fall into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
...
Xia Yan also heard it.
However, after Bai Suli didn't look at him, he practiced his marksmanship seriously.
As for the death of the palace maid, he was not surprised, I think it should be the assassin he killed last night...
Later, he would find out the follow-up from the Frost Painting or Hanqin.
...
It's getting colder.
Cold winter nights always come early.
The cold mountains are shadowy, and the trees are blowing...
Bai Suli didn't even want to see His Royal Highness at a glance, so he ate in the wing room by himself.
And today, it was the palace maid frost painting who served Xia Yan's meal...
Xia Yan obviously felt that the frost painting was a little trembling, and his body was a little stiff.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
These three words were like the fear of breaking the ice and frost painting, and she immediately said the fear in her heart.
"Your Highness, many palace maids have died...... They died in such a horrible way......
One had his neck cut off, his head tilted next to the dresser, his eyes fixed on the bronze mirror, and the blood on his neck was all over the table.
There was also hanging on the beam of the house, it was three people who died side by side, as soon as the door opened, the six legs of the three people suddenly shook in the air, the scene was really nightmarish...
There's also a... The palace maid actually stoned herself to death with a jewelry box...
By the way, the last one... The last palace maid I knew, her name was Fluttershy, and she had been in the palace for more than ten years.
She was a very nice person, and she was very gentle on weekdays, but she also died.
She didn't die in the house, but on the road, she seemed to have died of poisoning, but she had a dagger stuck in her eyebrows. ”
The sound of the frost painting was trembling, his legs were shaking, and even his teeth were rattling.
This remark made Xia Yan frown.
Too many anomalies.
There are too many weird places.
He learns that the maid who assassinated him last night is called Fluttershy.
He thought that this Fluttershy was a palace maid who had only just entered the palace, but she was a palace maid who had been in the palace for more than ten years...
It's fine if it's just this, but why are there still five palace maids who die?
Suddenly, he felt a sharp and terrifying feeling, as if the sharpest needle had pierced his heart...
The third prince said that the prince's mansion was haunted, so he fled to the queen's side... Could it be true?
He ate in silence.
Yesterday by this time, he already had a general understanding of the world, at least the current situation.
But he found out he was wrong.
Frost painted on his side, and he didn't say a word, she was just a palace maid, and today she was really frightened.
This kind of frightening is not the same as hearing about beheadings on a regular day, it is a fear of the unknown.
Xia Yan had a good meal, and Shuanghua cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and then said goodbye.
Xia Yan's eyes swept the inside of the house, perceiving the surroundings, Bai Suli was angry with him for a day, and now he really didn't enter the house, that's good...
He skillfully changed into a cold and wet night suit, performed his maneuver, carefully jumped out of the window, and then came to Taiye Lake as usual.
Although Taiye Lake could no longer provide him with much true qi, it was still the best place to practice [Toad Palace Stealing Incense Steps].
At the same time, he is also interested in the follow-up to the luck of "Water Spirit Reincarnation II".
Whether it is the former or the latter, it is his means of escape.
It's just that one is on a dry road, and the other is on a waterway road.
...
...
Following the death of many palace maids, many people secretly came to the harem to investigate, but they never found out why.
During this period, an unusually heavy rain for two consecutive days made the water of Taiye Lake rise a lot, which made Xia Yan not need to worry too much about whether he would drink up the entire Taiye Lake.
In the blink of an eye...
Another twelve days passed.
Of the twelve days, there were only two days when Xia Yan was not able to go out.
The rest of the night, he spent the rest of his night in Taiye Lake.
At this point...
It was the eve of dawn.
The sky was gray outside, Xia Yan quickly put away the gray clothes, and shrank into the futon.
It's only been three days since the winter hunt.
And he couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart.
At this point, he glanced at his message:

Peach Blossom Luck I
Water Spirit Resurrection I———— You have drunk the water of the lake for thirty nights in a row, and thus reaped the luck. You can't describe your water nature well, perhaps, you are a monster living in water. However, you are not a spirit, you are human, but such a terrible water nature is not a spell, it really doesn't make sense. Then there is only one possibility...... You were a water spirit in your previous life, and your soul in your previous life did not cross the bridge of hell. It...... It's back. It... It's in your body.
A lot of information flashed by.
And obviously, this time there is a very special message, and that is luck.
Xia Yan originally thought that after "Water Spirit Reincarnation I" and "Water Spirit Reincarnation II", it would be "Water Spirit Reincarnation III", or "Hebo Reincarnation", "Seagod Reincarnation" or something like that...
But he never expected that it would be a "resurrection".
What is resurrection?
In the old days, there was a superstition that the soul would come back and come back to life after death... This is called resurrection.
What Xia Yan's previous life was, he naturally knew very well, and now... He suddenly had an "Soul Resurrection Water Spirit" out of nothing.
Suddenly, he felt a little itchy in the center of his eyebrows, like a small worm crawling in it, but this worm was not crawling in the skin, but like crawling in the soul.
A cold, icy and slippery feeling came from his heart.
At the same time, there are some weird, chaotic thoughts.
It wasn't a thought that belonged to him, but it belonged to his memory.
He closed his eyes...
This extra memory traveled back and forth in his mind like a movie.
At that time, he was just an ordinary black fish, living in a lake, which seemed to be something special, and contained a strange aura inside.
The black fish devoured the aura day and night, and finally one day, it had wisdom, so... It leaped out of the water.
Outside the water is a fairyland-like picture, with fairies fishing, fairies riding deer, strange flowers and plants, and spirit animals roaming... The blackfish also swam happily.
After another few hundred years, it had another chance to devour a Heaven and Earth Spirit Bead, thus turning into a real water spirit, possessing a powerful body and brutal strength in the water.
Having gained strength, it was so happy that it rampaged through the lake, devouring other fish and shrimp... Eventually, he was punished and picked up from the lake by the immortals, put it in a bag, and when it reappeared, it had already landed in another lake.
The lake has no aura, but there are humans around it.
Although there is no aura in human flesh and blood, there are other things that attract black fish.
The black fish became a spirit and began to drag passing travelers into the water and devour them.
When its supernatural powers gradually increase, it will also go to the village at night to steal children.
And so on, and so on, and one day... A passing-by, seemingly ordinary traveler slashed it.
Its soul flew away and went to hell.
Now... For some reason, it's back.
