Chapter 67: Awakening
Whisk Willow City, Fuyue Pavilion.
It had been three days since Pei Ziyan and Chaohuan set off, and Xiu didn't notice anything wrong at first, until he finally finished what he was doing, and then he suddenly remembered it.
He counted the days, Pei Ziyan had been gone for three days, and it stands to reason that if it was just an ordinary disappearance case, he should not have been there for so long.
After pondering for a moment, he summoned his butler, and the old butler bowed respectfully.
"Pavilion Master, do you have any orders?"
"Did Pei Ziyan send any news back?" And Xiu asked.
The housekeeper replied, "Your Excellency, Miss Pei didn't send any news back. ”
And Xiu frowned, he glanced around the desk, because he was busy with work recently, it was almost full of all kinds of books and letters handed by the people below, he looked around, and there was indeed no letter written by Pei Ziyan.
Something doesn't seem right.
And Xiu knows Pei Ziyan very well, Pei Ziyan has a cautious and rigorous personality, and she will keep in regular contact every time she goes out to do a task, not to mention that the destination this time is not far away.
If it's a trivial matter, then it's impossible to spend three days, and if something happens, it's impossible not to send back the news.
Could it be an accident?
Thinking about it, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he stood up sharply and looked at the old butler standing in front of him.
The old butler has been following him for a long time, and he is the most trusted person except for Pei Ziyan, so he will also let the other party help deal with some matters around him, even if it is something that cannot be seen by the other party, he will also be handed over to the other party to deal with.
He never doubted that the old butler would have any different intentions, because the old butler had chosen to help him with his work despite all opinions, and Xiu did not regard the other party as an ordinary subordinate.
But at this moment, an incredible thought flashed in his mind, he looked at the old butler vigilantly, and the other party's face was still calm and respectful, as if everything was just a guess by Ji Xiu.
And Xiu suppressed the doubts in his heart, and pretended to be calm: "Is there any other news?" ”
"Pavilion Master, there's no news."
The old housekeeper's tone was natural, and he did not waver in the face of the questions that were close to reproach, and his low eyebrows were as pleasing as always, so that people could not find a flaw.
That's it, and Xiu also felt that it could be that he was wrong, but Pei Ziyan didn't send the news, so why did he start to be suspicious.
Pei Ziyan's influence on him was deeper than he imagined.
"Yes." And Xiu reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, perhaps because he was too tired, and his nerves were too tense and these doubts arose.
Thinking so, he sat down in his chair again, and watched the old butler call him out, while he went on with his work.
The old butler bowed and withdrew, but when he reached the door, he said a word to the little maid who was waiting outside.
"The incense in the pavilion master's house is about to be dyed, remember to make up for it."
The little maid replied "yes," and after the old butler had left, she took a new incense into the room and changed it.
Chao Huan opened her eyes and saw only a blue sky, a few branches blocked part of her vision, and a green leaf floated down, which was carried by the breeze and fell on her face, a little itchy.
Chao Huan came back from her stunned, she suddenly remembered everything that happened before, she was imprisoned by Luo Heqing, she was grabbed by Pei Ziyan's hand, and then lost in a burst of white light.
In that white light, she felt a kind of oppression, as if she was squeezed into a narrow tunnel, the huge pressure pressed every nerve in her, and the last memory Chao Huan was not very clear, because of the secret method and only mortal physique, she quickly fainted.
She sat up, and as the movement dragged her head, the nerves in her brain ached again, and she held her head and opened her eyelids to see her surroundings.
I don't know how long it's been since she's fainted, it's already dawn, surrounded by dense woods, and I don't know how far away she was from where she was.
Chao Huan found that he was leaning against a tree, it seemed that someone had placed it here, and there were a few spirit stones scattered around, mortals might think that they were just glowing stones, but Chao Huan could see at a glance that they were not disorganized, but formed a simple magic circle to protect the people in the array.
Is it Pei Ziyan? Or juveniles?
The fragile nerves would ache faintly when they saw this light, and after Chao Huan was sure that he had the protection of the formation, he simply closed his eyes and thought about it.
That day, after everyone thought that everyone was happy, she took Lin Youyu and Luo Heqing to play together, pretending to be attracted by animals on her face, but in fact, both Chaohuan and Lin Youyu paid careful attention to the situation on the other side.
Chao Huan didn't hear the conversation between Pei Ziyan and Liu Qin clearly, but she could actually guess a thing or two, for Pei Ziyan, it was as simple as turning a book and memorizing a text.
Pei Ziyan didn't know Liu Qin's identity, nor did he know what he wanted to do, but Chao Huan knew it very well.
But Chao Huan won't tell Pei Ziyan everything, because Chao Huan is the same as the things he wants to tempt in the daytime.
After waiting for about half an hour, Chao Huan felt someone approaching, she slowly opened her eyes, and Pei Ziyan in front of her had recovered her original appearance.
She noticed that Chao Huan had woken up, raised her eyebrows, took the simple formation, and put a few cleaned fruits beside Chao Huan.
"Awake? How does your body feel? She half-knelt beside Chao Huan, reached out and touched Chao Huan's forehead, felt it carefully, and withdrew her hand after making sure that there was no fever.
"My head hurts." Chao Huan said, "How long have I been dizzy?" ”
"Three hours, for a mortal like you, teleportation is really exhausting physical strength."
Pei Ziyan took a jade bottle from the storage bag, the jade pendant exuded a faint cold, and she didn't know what material it was made of, she poured out a pill from the bottle, and as soon as the pill was poured out, Chaohuan smelled the fragrance of a herb.
Chao Huan blinked, and had already distinguished several medicinal herbs from the taste, all of which were calm and calm, and they were very suitable for her to eat now.
Pei Ziyan handed her the pill and said, "Eat it, it will be better if you eat it." ”
After taking the pill, Chao Huan really felt that the headache was immediately relieved a lot, she felt the taste between her lips and teeth just now, and she had already come up with a few medicine lists in her mind.
Well, if Ning Xinhua is replaced with a cold ice skin and neutralized by adding a little snow blowing spring, it will be more suitable for her. For mortals, this elixir was a bit stimulating.
She silently suppressed the chill that suddenly rose in her heart, and her face did not change: "Where are you now?" ”
Pei Ziyan saw that her face was much better, so she put away the jade pendant, took the fruit and handed it to her, and took a small green fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.
"I don't know, but I guess it's not too far from Fuliu City, no more than two hundred miles at most."
This was her speculation, after all, the farthest effect of the magic weapon was so far, even if it was teleported to the opposite direction of Willow City, it would not be too far.
However, in order to use that magic weapon before, she squeezed out all her spiritual power, and it would take a while to recover, and Chao Huan fainted, so after Pei Ziyan woke up, she simply arranged a formation for Chao Huan, and went to the surroundings to find out.
She was lucky enough to find some wild fruits in the woods and saw smoke from a cooking stove not far away.
"Let's go check it out first, it would be nice if we could find a carriage or something." Pei Ziyan said.
Chao Huan tilted his head and wondered, "Don't you have a carriage?" ”
What she said was that when she went to Qingji Village, the carriage driven by Pei Ziyan was pulled by spirit beasts, but it was easy to travel thousands of miles a day.
Pei Ziyan sighed and said, "The spirit beast card was lost when it moved, I can feel that it seems to have been destroyed, and the spirit beast doesn't know where it went." I still have a carriage, but I don't have one to pull it. ”
Chao Huan nodded, he knew it.
She remembered someone again.
"Juveniles?" Chao Huan asked, "At that time, she should have been with us." ”
"I don't know, I only saw you when I woke up, maybe you were separated from us." Pei Ziyan guessed, but Lin Youyu was a cultivator after all, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Chao Huan said "oh" and didn't ask any more.
Juvenile fish should have gone back to Qingji Village, in order not to reveal her identity when she went to the mountain, she left the coffin in the village, and she must go back to get it.
The two rested for a while, and waited for Chao Huan's body to recover almost before moving in the direction where Pei Ziyan found the smoke.
When they were about to enter the village, Pei Ziyan suddenly stopped Chao Huan, and they walked to the secret place, and Pei Ziyan used magic to change his appearance.
is not the degree of camouflage before, she turned herself into a man, so what appeared in front of Chao Huan was a handsome boy with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, dressed in green clothes like bamboo, but looking at Chao Huan's eyes are still the same.
Chao Huan was stunned, Pei Ziyan also took a folding fan, which looked more like the young master of the family.
"What are you?" Chao Huan asked.
"Disguise it, if the two of us women go, we will inevitably encounter difficulties." Pei Ziyan said with a smile, and after she said this, she changed her voice again.
With a deep male voice and a tall body, Pei Ziyan is now a man in every way.
"By the way, in that case, don't call me Miss Pei. Well, I want to think about it..." Pei Ziyan thought about it, then slapped the paper fan in his hand and said, "You can call me Zhu Shi, if others ask, they will say that we are brothers and sisters." ”
Zhu Shi?
Zhu Shu and Zhu Shi?
Chao Huan smiled silently, but he was not angry at the other party for taking advantage of him.
"Alright, now let's get ready to go."
Pei Ziyan, oh no, it was Zhu Shi who said, and the two walked together.
This village is much larger than Qingji Village, and there are hundreds of houses just by looking at the past buildings.
As soon as the two entered the village, they received a lot of attention, which was different from the guessing gaze of Qingji Village, the people here looked at them honestly, and they just looked at the two of them simply.
Zhu Shi looked at the wooden sign at the entrance of the village, which read the words "Haixing Village".
Haixing Village? When Zhu Shi saw these three words, the topography map of a hundred miles of Fuliucheng still appeared in his mind, and the guess in his heart was confirmed.
It was indeed not far from Fuliu City, but it was farther than he thought, about two hundred and seventy kilometers, but it was not far for a cultivator.
