Chapter 3: Demons

After lying on the bed for half a month, Zhao Yuanling finally felt that this body could be freely controlled by himself.

Although the rejection of her body and soul has not completely dissipated, it is enough for her to get out of bed and move for two hours a day.

She didn't understand why she was possessed by the second lady of the Zhao family. The guard Mo Bai also didn't know anything, and only said that he was looking for her scent to find here.

Maybe it's because the second lady of the Zhao family is also named Zhao Yuanling?

She had no way of knowing.

In the past few days, some fragments that do not belong to her memories have vaguely surfaced in her head.

But soon it became clear to her that this was the memory of the original body.

It turned out that the Zhao family was the county magistrate of Linyong Town.

The old man of the Zhao family is still an amorous species, and the women who cater to him outside can't be counted on ten hands. But whoever bore him a son was taken into the house, and the daughter was left to fend for herself.

The original body was born frail and sickly, and she became weaker and weaker a month ago, and taking medicine had no effect, so her mother really couldn't hold back and didn't want to be dragged down by her, so she took the silver subsidized by the Zhao family and never returned.

The second lady of the Zhao family was left alone in the house waiting for death.

has no relatives, not even a maid to serve. Although it is inconvenient, it can be regarded as a convenience.

Zhao Yuanling comforted herself like this, but soon, she was slapped in the face.

The room is simply furnished, with a bed and a de-painted wooden table and two low stools with missing legs. The gray wood color looks like it was used in the imperial dining room to make a fire and make rice.

Although it had been wiped clean by Mobai, she still didn't dare to sit on it.

After not changing his clothes and bathing for a long time, Zhao Yuanling instructed him to fetch water.

Not long after Mo Bai walked out, he came in with a basin, with only rough patterns on it, but it looked like it was newly bought.

Zhao Yuanling looked at this basin of clear water, and frowned slightly, "This palace is to bathe." ”

Mo Bai was silent for a long time, and finally said frankly: "The minister searched in the town, but he didn't find the bath barrel, so the princess will settle for the time being." Then he withdrew.

Zhao Yuanling looked at the basin of clear water in front of him blankly, and he was afraid that it would not be enough to rinse it in the palace. She confronted for a long time, and finally reluctantly soaked the white cloth.

Just by wiping herself, she felt her arm ache.

After putting her whole body in order, she sat down in front of the half-shattered bronze mirror and looked at the face carefully.

The body was too weak, the cheeks were thin and sunken, the cheeks were white, the lips were not bloody, and the coarse hair looked like straw.

Only the facial features are quite acceptable, but compared to her previous appearance, I'm afraid it's less than one-tenth.

Zhao Yuanling stroked his eyebrows with his hand and sighed lightly, "It seems that there are gains and losses, and it is already good to be alive." ”

She wiped the grayed bronze mirror clean, and when she saw the looming mole under the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but be stunned.

When did this mole grow?

She frowned slightly, and wiped her fingertips but couldn't wipe them off. I've been following myself for 16 years, but now I've changed my body and come over?

Before she could think about it, there was a knock on the door.

Mo Bai handed her a plain white dress, Zhao Yuanling rubbed it in his hand for a while, the clothes were new, and they were materials that he had never seen before.

It was the first time she had worn such a coarse cloth dress, and she felt like an ant was biting.

The sunset outside gradually faded, the sky was covered with a hazy ink, and now it was almost curfew time, Zhao Yuanling didn't know where Mo Bai was going to take her.

After walking for a while, the sky gradually sank. She rolled up her sleeves, a strange and unsettling fear swept through her.

At night, most monsters come out to make trouble, even if there is no curfew, she does not dare to leave the palace at night, let alone outside the palace.

Fortunately, the road suddenly lit up, and the bustling pedestrians seemed to be in the daytime.

"Is this a lantern festival?"

Zhao Yuanling attended a lantern festival, which was a banquet that was only held at night.

Mo Bai: "This is the night market. ”

The streets are lined with torches, like a long red dragon. The wide road is lined with vendors, steaming white smoke hovers over the night, and the air is filled with the aroma of food.

She followed Mo Bai to a vendor with strangely shaped stones and jade ornaments of various colors.

Zhao Yuanling picked up a small stone lion casually, and the vendor immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "The girl is really good-looking, this little stone lion only costs three taels of silver!" Look at the texture......"

She nodded understandingly, "It's pretty cheap." ”

"Hey, that's not it, it's still a girl, you know the goods, I'll help you put it up!"

"Wait."

Mo Bai took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the stall owner, "Do you accept jade pendants here?" ”

The vendor smiled and said, "This is not a pawnshop, we only sell it." As he spoke, his gaze fell on the jade pendant, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "This is a good jade." ”

Mo Bai didn't bother with him, and said, "Sixty taels." ”

The vendor didn't smile, "The guest officer is not entertaining me, this jade is more than enough to take to the pawnshop." ”

Mo Bai raised his eyebrows, and pretended to exclaim: "It turns out that this thing is so valuable, then I'll take it to the pawnshop, anyway, I picked it up." After speaking, he pulled Zhao Yuanling away.

The vendor's eyes rolled a few times, and then he chased after him and stopped the person, "This jade was picked up, if it is found by the owner, it will be troublesome, otherwise how about you sell me for a hundred taels?" Money and goods are both good, and this jade will have nothing to do with you in the future. ”

So, Mo Bai sold the jade pendant for one hundred taels to the vendor.

The two continued to walk forward, Zhao Yuanling lowered his eyes, holding the small stone lion given by the vendor in his hand, and rubbed it for a while.

Mo Bai looked up at Zhao Yuanling without a trace.

"If this jade pendant is taken to a pawnshop, it won't be long before it flows into the hands of the officials."

The official family will use it to please the court officials, and if it is handed over layer by layer, it will inevitably expose his whereabouts. Now, except for the faction protected by the right minister Cao Zhen, the original Zhao Wang Party has been purged.

Now both of them are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect themselves.

Mo Bai just said a word, and Zhao Yuanling quickly came to his senses. An Fengyu, who is most opposed to killing on weekdays, has now become so unfamiliar.

Her face was expressionless, and her heart was stunned.

Zhao Yuanling followed behind Mo Bai blankly, the former stopped, and she slammed into it.

Mo Bai didn't say anything when he saw this, but just took her into a tailor shop in front of him.

The tailor's shop is small, but the style of clothes is novel.

As soon as Zhao Yuanling stepped in with his front foot, the female shopkeeper greeted him with his back foot.

"Guest officer, please, these materials are all new, see if there is anything you like."

The female shopkeeper was dressed in a crimson Luo skirt and a pale green emerald water thin smoke veil, and the two bold colors collided, which actually matched an alternative beauty.

There are not many styles in the shop, the color scheme is bold but not abrupt, and the shopkeeper's face is full of real and enthusiastic smiles, Zhao Yuan was very satisfied, and immediately asked her to wrap up a few clothes that she liked.

The female shopkeeper smiled happily, "It's been a long time since I've seen such a refreshing guest, and my tiger lady is not stingy, I'll give you one more set!" ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Zhao Yuanling chuckled and thanked her, but soon her smile froze on her face.

When the female shopkeeper turned around, a fluffy tail was revealed behind her!

Zhao Yuanling took a step back, with a look of horror on his face, "You are a demon!" ”

The tiger lady folded her clothes in her hands, then shook her tail, and admitted with a smile: "Yes, I am a tiger demon, and everyone calls me the tiger lady." ”

"Come on, girl, this is the dress you want." The tiger lady handed her the packed clothes, and Zhao Yuanling frowned and stepped back, not daring to reach out to pick it up.

Sensing Zhao Yuanling's strange appearance, the smile on Hu Niang's face also disappeared, "The girl is afraid of demons?" ”

"Demons are inherently terrifying!" Zhao Yuanling clenched his fists, and there was disgust and fear in his eyes that could not be hidden.

Hearing this, the tiger lady was even more displeased.

"What the girl said is not right, although I am a demon, but I have not done anything harmful. Besides, we're doing serious business, and you're willing to do business. ”

"A demon is a demon, even if he is dressed in the garb of a human being, it is impossible to erase the cruelty and murder in his bones. You just like the people of the small town here are easy to bully, and you have the ability to go to the imperial city to try! ”

Zhao Yuanling had the courage to say these words, and his heart was also worried. This is the second time she has come into contact with demons so closely, the imperial city is so strict, and demons can't get close.

Demon, that's a race that everyone in the world hates.

——

"My army of 300,000 was all strangled by the demon clan, and they were all living human lives!"

"Ling'er, the demon clan is scheming, and you must not be soft-hearted towards them......"

"They are murderous, and even the elderly, weak, women and children do not spare ......"

"Let these monsters all be wiped out! to be able to sacrifice the souls of the dead who sacrificed their lives for the country......"

King Zhao's words rang in her ears one by one, and Zhao Yuanling stared coldly at the tiger girl in front of her.

"The little girl is not young, but she is very bold!" The tiger girl's expression was awe-inspiring, and a gust of evil wind blew around her, and fur gradually appeared on her face, and her limbs turned into sharp claws.

"It seems that I won't give you the real ability, I'm afraid you think my tiger girl is a bully!" She scolded and attacked Zhao Yuanling.

Mo Bai's body stood in front of her, and said coldly: "She's just a little timid. ”

"Cowardly? Hahaha......" Tiger Niang laughed wildly, as if she had heard some big joke, and squinted her eyes slightly and looked at Mo Bai sarcastically, "How dare you hide behind you if you are timid?" ”

The tiger lady was about to say something, but suddenly, a strong coercion hit the world, she froze, and stared at the ink white in front of her vigilantly.

After a moment, she was unwilling to withdraw her hand, waved her sleeve, and said angrily: "I won't do your business!" ”

The two were kicked out of the door by the female shopkeeper. Zhao Yuanling frowned slightly, looked at the pedestrian vendors on the street, and realized that most of the people in this night market were monsters!

Zhao Yuanling grabbed the ink-white clothes, and his five fingers were slightly together, "These monsters are too rampant, see that the people here are easy to bully, they occupy the land and become kings!" She spat out words like jade, and her voice was sharp, as if she hated monsters to the bone.
