04 Nightmare
Yu Ning never thought that someone would dare to insult him in person, he was so angry that the muscles in his face were trembling, he stepped forward, raised his fist, and wanted to swing at Jielan.
Yu Qing held his hand and said, "As the ruler of Qing Zhou City, please don't trample on your own identity anymore, don't you think it's shameful enough in front of the hundred officials?" ”
Yu Ning wanted to have a seizure, but finally endured it, he snorted and said, "It seems that I am really not popular, since this is the case, I will not accompany me." He suddenly approached Jielan's ear, and Jielan instinctively wanted to dodge, but he grabbed her left arm with one hand, making her unable to retreat, only to hear him say: "You're just a stupid blood demon, just as stupid as the green devil." ”
Jielan's face changed suddenly, she didn't know what this person meant, but he didn't continue to say anything before retreating, drank the wine he had snatched from the city lord, and then put it on the plate of a father-in-law beside him, and said with a smile: "I have seen it, I have said what I should have said, and I have no need to continue to stay, so as not to hinder the eyes of my lovely city brother, then, goodbye." He mounted his horse and rode it back to the city.
This man is like an unfettered wild bird, negligent to come, but negligent to go, as if the heavens and the earth let him fly, regardless of everything around him.
Jielan looked at the figure he left, and then looked at the Yuqing City Lord in front of her, and her doubts were obviously the same. Yu Qing closed his eyes and muttered, "Please don't mind my city brother's words, he has always been like this, he didn't let you be frightened!" ”
Although she was very angry with his younger brother, since he was the younger brother of the city lord, his identity was obviously noble, if he really minded, I am afraid that he would be competing with the city lord of Yuqing, she shook her head and said, "It's okay, don't say much, I'll leave with my companions!" ”
Yu Qing nodded and didn't say anything. Jielan summons Biluo from her body, and she rides it, then lets the black pig sit behind her, while Qixue summons the snow crane and flies into the sky on it.
The figures of the three disappeared into the sky, one blue, one black and one white, looking like the color of the sky, perfectly blending into the sky, as if they were originally one, no matter how the world changed, they could not be separated.
When the blue figure gradually disappeared, Yu Qing got on his horse and returned to the city, and all the ministers who came to see him off also let the send-off team return to the city.
........................
The dragon cave is located in the west of the city of Qing Zhou to two thousand miles, I heard the people say that there were farmers in this place before, but later, there were many demons in this place, these demons attacked when they saw people, and now no one dares to live here, all of them moved away.
Jielan wanted to know what kind of demon even the demon team sent by the city court couldn't destroy it, but the city lord Yuqing said that because none of the people sent had returned, he didn't even know the appearance of this demon, let alone what kind of demonic power it had, so everyone was helpless.
After flying for four hours, it was almost dusk when Jielan and the others arrived at the location of the dragon cave, but to their surprise, instead of being deserted and full of miasma because of the entry and exit of demons, the jungle here was lush and the vegetation was glorious, and it didn't look like there were demons coming in and out.
Because it was getting dark, the black pig objected to entering the jungle to find the dragon cave at this time, but Jielan was afraid of delaying the time, so she had to explore it first to feel at ease, and the black pig didn't say anything, just accompanied her into this somewhat weird jungle.
The jungle seems to be quiet and damp, but there is always a cold atmosphere, which makes Jielan feel uneasy, maybe because he is about to face demons, so he is jealous.
The further you went, the thicker the jungle became, for as the sky began to darken, and some of the crows began to move, and the sound of 'quack' sounded even more chilling in the thorny jungle.
Qi Xue recited a spell to turn the snow crane into a snow lamp, illuminating the dark jungle, but the more he walked, the more he lost his way, as if he had walked into a lost forest, and the white mist began to linger in the jungle, and the fog made the jungle less than three feet away, and it was even more difficult to find a way.
"It seems that we can't get out of here, this jungle has become so strange since we entered, the trees in all directions seem to have not changed no matter how we walk, Blue, I think we have entered the hinterland of demons." Black Pig worried.
Jielan nodded and said, "It seems that if you continue to search, it will only become more and more dangerous, and you can only find a place to rest and wait until dawn to make plans." ”
"Well, that's all there is to it." The black pig should be in harmony.
Suddenly, Qixue pointed to a tree in front of him that glowed white and said, "Look at that tree, it's so strange. ”
Jielan and the black pig looked in the direction of Qi Xue's finger, but saw a white tree about two hundred meters ahead, this tree was so large that it took five people to hug it, and its branches and leaves extended to the sky, and its demeanor could not help but make people admire.
"This tree exudes a clean light, it must not be an ordinary tree, let's go to the tree and rest for a while, so that it is more comfortable to be invaded by demons at night." Jielan didn't feel the demonic aura from the tree, so she was defenseless in her heart, and walked straight towards the white tree.
The black pig can't feel the demonic aura of this tree, and in this jungle full of yin energy, all demon beasts dare not approach this tree, presumably it is not an ordinary tree, so you can rest assured. He didn't object, and followed Jielan towards the tree.
The three of them walked to the white wood, because they were still a little uneasy, Jielan did not take the mink back into her body, but let it guard everyone's side, in case something happened in the middle of the night, she could be alert in time.
Although they didn't dare to fall asleep, the three of them were still too tired after all, and it didn't take long for Jielan to fall asleep on Biluo's back.
......................
The light of the white tree grew brighter, illuminating almost the day and night, as if the resurrected spirit had begun to act in the night, and the roots of the white tree moved like snakes, wrapping around the sleeping three. When the little mink Biluo saw the entangled vines, he knew that the danger was approaching, and he opened his mouth to bite the vines, but as soon as he bit it, the white juice of the vines flowed out, and the juice had a paralyzing effect, and he inadvertently paralyzed Biluo on the ground, and its whole body was wrapped in vines, and it was powerless to break free.
And when this vine crawled towards the arms, legs, and feet of Jielan and the three of them, there was something like a fish's mouth on the tip of the vine, and it burrowed into the bodies of the three of them, and began to suck the essence of the three of them, depriving them of their will.
Jielan didn't wake up, but her face showed an extremely painful expression, as if she had dreamed of something terrible, which made her feel so painful, and the black pig and Qi Xue were also in the same painful situation as Jielan, because it was too uncomfortable, their faces were distorted, obviously the three of them were deprived of their will, and fell into their own dreams and couldn't get rid of it, if they couldn't get rid of the nightmare's torture, they would be sucked dry by the vines of the white tree and died.
In Jielan's dream, she only saw a white expanse, as if she was on the wasteland, surrounded by thick fog, unable to see her fingers, and she was alone, no matter how she shouted the name of her companion, she could only hear her own echo, as if she was helpless and hugged tightly in fear, but at this time the fog miraculously dispersed quickly, retreating like a door that had been opened, and when the fog dissipated, what appeared in front of Jielan was a gorgeous palace, and there were civil and military officials in the palace, and they all wore red belts around their waists, It's like you're participating in some festive feast, but who are you attending?
Jielan slowly walked towards the palace, when she walked over, those officials laughed at the smiling hand in such a dirty robe, pointing hand after ear, Jielan seemed to be a rat crossing the street, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, but at this moment, she saw that above the temple of the palace, a familiar figure appeared in front of her, that person was proud, handsome and gorgeous, but who was not the Qingzhan she missed?
Jielan was so happy to see him, and hurriedly called, "Qing Zhan! ”
But he didn't respond, and he didn't look back at her, but looked in the direction of the left, Ying Ying smiled, as if waiting for someone, Jielan looked over with his gaze, but saw a woman in a red wedding dress and gauze skirt walked over, she put a pair of jade hands on her abdomen, dignified, elegant and beautiful, her autumn water-like eyes flowed out, like a ripple of blue water, so that Jielan present was ashamed of herself, and this beautiful and noble woman, not Ning Lu but who is it?
It turned out that Qing Zhan didn't keep his promise, he still married Ning Lu as a bully, such a blatant deception simply tore her heart, her tears flowed down, and she said angrily: "What a Qing Zhan, what a young monarch of Wangcheng, since you deceived me, you... It's really ruthless. ”
Qing Zhan looked back at her at this time, looked at this dirty woman who was completely inconsistent with the wedding ceremony, and said with a smile: "It's you yourself who are too stupid to believe Benjun's words, don't you look at yourself, what do you have that makes Benjun interested in you, you are just a thing I used to play with when I was lonely, I didn't expect you to be stupid enough to take it seriously, why blame me." “
As if struck by lightning on a rainy night, Jielan's heart was so scorched that she was about to die, she clutched her chest tightly, tears poured away, and she muttered: "You... You—" But no matter how resentful he was, he didn't know what to scold, but he was in pain as if he was about to suffocate.
And in reality, Jielan was also entangled by this nightmare, showing a painful look, she still covered her chest with her hands, her face was painful and desperate, even her breath had slowly weakened, and the vines of the white tree wrapped her tighter, almost embedded in her flesh.
