Chapter 20: The Night of the Full Moon
He looked at Xihe, his purple eyes were as cold as frost, and there was hardly a trace of tenderness when he looked at her.
Xihe was stunned for a moment and nodded, and his mouth slowed down before replying, "Yes." ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, he did not hesitate, and drank it all on his back, and the cup also turned into ashes in his hand, and then dispersed.
Everyone saw that the mountain ghost had not changed in the slightest, and even after drinking the ancient rune water after being seriously injured, they did not even frown, and gradually relaxed.
Seeing this, Xihe apologized to him, "Lord Mountain Ghost, forgive me, you also know the rules of our fairy world, and Xue Gu and I can't help it..."
He smiled faintly at her and replied, "You have nothing to apologize for, it's just that Benjun has something to ask you for, and it's too late for Benjun to thank you." ”
Between the words, she thanked her on the surface, but she instantly heard the indifference and detachment outside his words.
As soon as a farce passed, the things that made her and Xue Gu most concerned about had not been resolved, "Lord Mountain Ghost, there is one more thing." ”
He looked at her and waited for her to continue, "Chiwu is dead, so how do we cross the river?" ”
The mountain ghost chuckled, raised his eyes to look at the young man in red in front of him, and raised his eyebrows, "You can ask him this question." ”
Xue Gu and Xihe both looked at Yu Jingzi, he waved his hand helplessly, and said with his forehead, "I am the son of the dignified snake king, and I want to be ridden by you as a horse, where is my face!" ”
As soon as the poisonous plague in Tongyang City was resolved, and the red black was also subdued, the emperor suddenly smiled and ordered a big banquet to reward them, and the mountain ghosts wanted to refuse bluntly, but after the battle in the morning, everyone consumed a lot of mana, so they planned to rest for one night and leave tomorrow.
The willows on the moon, the royal palace banquet, the flowers are red and willow green, the singing and dancing are leveling, and the whole Tongyang City is celebrating it.
At the banquet, the emperor and the queen sat on the square dragon chair, the mountain ghost naturally sat on the upper seat as a great hero, Xi He sat next to him as the second seat, Xuegu and Yujingzi were next to each other in turn, and opposite them sat the harem concubines and ministers, and Princess Chaoyang was sitting opposite him.
At the banquet, everyone toasted to the mountain ghosts one by one, and the mountain ghosts all returned with tea instead of wine, and in the middle of the banquet, Princess Zhaoyang invited herself to present a song and dance prepared in advance.
I saw her wearing heavy makeup, wearing gorgeous and dazzling clothes, covering half of her face and dancing on the dance floor, accompanied by a group of dancing girls behind her, all dressed up in flowers, but only the Zhaoyang princess in the center was as beautiful as a fairy, dancing gracefully and lightly, and seemed to jump into everyone's hearts step by step, which made people unable to take their eyes off it for a moment.
Xihe found that Princess Zhaoyang's eyes were always wandering on the mountain ghost, and she turned her head to look at the mountain ghost who was sitting on the seat.
At this time, he was holding the teacup in his hand and drinking slowly, occasionally glancing at the dance floor, even in the face of such a stunning appearance, he still did not want to take a second look, unlike the other kings and nobles present who clapped their hands and applauded, without blinking, with a full face.
Is it really as Xiao Feng said, he never gets close to women?
She tilted her head to look in Yukyoko's direction, just in time to meet his fiery gaze, and smiled at her with bent eyebrows.
Xihe glanced over, raised her head and drank the fruit wine in the cup, and when she looked up again, the seat of the guest next to her was empty, and she looked around, but still didn't find him.
"Xihe, what are you looking at?" Xue Gu on the other side asked her.
She shook her head and said, "No, nothing. ”
Xihe drank the fruit wine in the cup a little depressed, and her arm pressed on the table stiffened, and she took out a piece of Peiyu from her sleeve and handed it to Xue Gu.
She took it and asked in surprise, "This is for me?" ”
"Well, I saw that other people's swords would have some accessories hanging on them, so I took a piece of jade from the reward I sent last time and made it into a sword pendant."
Xue Gu even tied Peiyu to the hilt of the sword and laughed in a low voice, "It's so beautiful." ”
At this time, Yu Jingzi got up from her position and walked towards her, interrupting the conversation between the two, "Sister, tonight is the middle of the month, the moonlight is very good, if you don't want to stay in the boring banquet, I can accompany my sister out to enjoy the moon." ”
"Nope." She pulled out a faint smile, lowered her head and drank another glass of fruit wine.
Is it the middle of the month?
Xi and the chopsticks in his hand were stunned, and he immediately stood up from his position, lifted his skirt and ran out of the hall, ignoring the call of Xue Gu behind him.
She blamed herself as she ran, if it weren't for Yujingzi's reminder, she would have forgotten that tonight was the night of the full moon, and she also forgot about the blood curse on the mountain ghost.
He'd been so badly hurt this morning, and it didn't take her to think that he was certainly no better off now.
When she finally arrived at the Fangxin Pavilion, she ran quickly to his room, and sure enough, the lamp was lit, and the door was closed, and she couldn't hear a sound at all through the crack in the door.
When she tried to push the door, she found that the door had been locked from the inside, and she stood outside the door anxiously, knocked on the door hard, and said urgently, "Lord Mountain Ghost, I am Xihe." ”
The mountain ghost didn't seem to hear it, so she raised her hand and patted the door again, but the door still didn't open.
She doesn't understand, isn't his blood curse the only one she can solve?
Why not let her in?
Did you pass out in pain?
Just when she was so anxious that she didn't have any clue, she quickly ran to the east side of the house, and pulled hard, but the window was not locked, and she struggled to climb into the house through the window, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw that the bath barrel in the room had been split to shreds, and the ice in it was all over the floor, and the water stains in the stalls had soaked the whole room, and the air was full of chills.
She walked around the screen and saw the man lying on the bed with his hair scattered, his hands tightly grasping the silk quilt on the bed, his knuckles were pale, his muscles were bulging, the underwear on his chest was open, revealing a piece of snow-white skin, and there were green tendons on his neck that was as white as porcelain on weekdays.
With dense sweat on his forehead, his beautiful purple pupils became scarlet and dull at this time, looking as painful as the erosion of ten thousand ants, but he gritted his teeth and tried his best to endure it, without making a sound.
Seeing her running over, the mountain ghost immediately rolled down from the bed in great embarrassment, and knelt on the cold ground barefoot, which seemed to make him regain a little reason.
His face turned red, and he endured the pain of rolling in his body, and put one hand at the end of the bed, and roared, "Who let you in!" Get out! ”
Xi He leaned forward and explained, "Mountain Ghost, I know that the blood curse in your body has attacked, and I can help you." ”
As she spoke, she cast a spell to inject aura into his body, but unexpectedly, the mountain ghost drove her out of front of the bed and said in a low voice, "Benjun doesn't need you now!" Get out! ”
Xihe insisted on stepping forward, the mountain ghost had tried his best to endure the double intertwining of the blood curse and the nether venom in his body, and at this time he had endured it to the limit, and during the stalemate, he uncontrollably raised his hand and waved her out again.
He didn't give up and got up from the ground again, clutching his aching chest, but noticed the cowhide totem thrown out of his sleeve at the same time.
In her memory, hasn't the cowhide totem been taken away by Yujingzi?
How could it be in his hands at this time?
Her mind was in a mess, and at this moment, the mountain ghost's body suddenly grew blood streaks, spreading from his chest, and he knelt on the side of the bed and raised his hand to slam it on the bed, and the bed shook suddenly.
His fist was instantly engorged, and the skin was smashed through his knuckles.
As soon as Xi He raised her foot and took a step forward, the mountain ghost's scarlet and purple gaze startled her heart, but she still pounced on him regardless of the danger, trying to break his fist and prevent him from hurting himself uncontrollably again, "Mountain ghost, you are sober!" ”
But he couldn't listen to what she said, and then he grabbed her neck, and the feeling of suffocation instantly came to her heart, and when she saw that he didn't wake up, she drew a crooked charm around her hand to tie him up temporarily, and she escaped from him.
As soon as she let go, she noticed that the blood streaks on his body had climbed up to his neck, and she hurriedly cast a spell to suppress it, but to little avail.
Seeing that he was about to break free from the restraints, Xi He struggled again and again and leaned over and printed on his lips without a trace of temperature, and in an instant, the blood streaks in the mountain ghost's body mixed with golden light were inhaled into her mouth.
Between the hundred turns of streamers, the scarlet in the eyes of the mountain ghost gradually faded, and when he saw the harmony pressed on him, he turned over and pressed her underneath.
Xihe looked at him with wide eyes in an instant, blushing and trying to pull away from under him, but he actually pressed the back of her head like a demon and bit her cherry lips greedily, and for a moment she couldn't tell if he had regained his senses.
Just when she was at a loss, the blood streaks that had been sucked into her body began to churn, scratching her heart, and she fainted on the spot.
Seeing that she was unconscious, the mountain ghost did not wait for the blood curse and nether venom in her body to calm down, and leaned over to suck out the remaining blood spell from her mouth, and forced it down with all his might.
He lowered his eyes to look at Xihe lying beside him, touched his lips, and remembered everything that had just happened, and his mind wandered.
Just as he was distracted, there was a slight movement at the door, he hurriedly got up, restored the bath bucket and ice cubes on the ground to their original appearance, walked to the door and opened the door.
Standing at the door was Princess Zhaoyang, who was in the sky and the country, and she didn't have time to change out of her gorgeous and colorful dance costumes.
He closed half of the door and asked in a cold voice, "I wonder why the princess came at night?" ”
Although he asked politely, his tone was cold and cold, and suddenly she lost the posture of a princess, and she smiled and said, "I saw that I didn't see you at the banquet, so I came to look for you." ”
"Princess Lao was worried, and the minister came back to rest first when she was unwell." He replied, and immediately issued an eviction order, "Since the princess is fine, the minister will rest." ”
"Well, well...."At the moment when the door was closed, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a woman lying on the messy bed, who was none other than his maid.
As the door creaked shut, she froze in place.
After returning to the room, the mountain ghost picked up the totem thrown from the ground, which was indeed snatched by the man in red in the secret room of the Sui Palace, that is, it fell into the hands of Yu Jingzi.
But that day, when he broke the quicksand array and went up the mountain to save Xihe, he inadvertently entered the back west house of the mountain hall, and it was on the back west house bookcase that he found this totem and took it away.
In fact, as early as after he left Wanjing Lake, the little demons in the Tai Secluded Realm told him about the loss of the Nuwa Stone Totem in the mortal world.
The Nuwa Stone contains the divine power of Nuwa, if he can find the last Nuwa Stone that has been lost in ancient times, the power of the ghosts and gods in his body will be restored quickly, whether it is to lift the entire Heavenly Palace or resurrect the Qingru Divine Maiden, it is a breeze.
But what made him feel interesting was that the woman he brought back from Wanjing Lake was able to break his ghost power, and in this world, there was nothing else except Nuwa's divine power that could break the power of ghosts and gods with the ability to destroy the world and destroy the world.
On one side is the totem of Nuwa Stone, and on the other hand, there is a woman with Nuwa's divine power in her body, which does make him a little unpredictable, but no matter what, as long as it is Nuwa's divine power, he will not let it go after all.
