The wind blows from April to June, and the smell of warmth is added to it. The clothes worn by the students of the Biyong Pavilion are also becoming lighter and lighter. It's not just the clothes that the students have changed. Butterflies flutter among the grass and trees, mandarin ducks swim together in the pond, and a kind of heat quietly grows out of the young people's bodies, slowly converging into an undercurrent, ready to move in invisible places.

After a long time, even a sluggish person like Zhong Qi felt that something was wrong.

After dinner that day, when there was nothing to do, Zhong Qi asked Bo Jiang and Ji Bohu about the rumors he had heard: "Have you heard?" Someone tried to break into the dormitory of the female student last night, but he had already evaded the guards on duty, but was repelled by the prohibition arranged outside the dormitory! ”

"You just heard that?" The general looked very clear: "This is the fifth time this month. ”

"Huh?" Zhong Qi exclaimed: "It's been so many times? ”

"And that's just a test before the general offensive." "As far as I know, the day of the official general attack is on the sixteenth of this month. ”

"And the general attack?" Zhong Qi's jaw was about to drop: "What do these people want to do?" ”

"Maybe it's boring." General Bo looked out the window: "Maybe it's because I want to show my ability in front of those female students." ”

"But won't the gentlemen care?"

"Of course it will, otherwise what do you think the prohibitions outside the female students' dormitory are for?"

Bo Jiang looked at Ji Bohu and Zhong Qi: "So far, there are already four people who are eager to try. ”

Ji Bohu came to the spirit: "Tell me quickly, which four people?" ”

Bo Jiang said: "The first way is the Shandong Coalition Army with Qi as the core and students from Ji, Sui, Qi, Zhu, Tan and other countries. The second way is the Shanxi allied army with the Jin State as the core and students from Pu, Huo, Jia, Yang, Geng and other countries. ”

"Huh?" Zhong Qi said: "The alliance of Shanxi countries, why didn't anyone call me?" ”

Bo Jiang and Ji Bohu squinted at Zhong Qi together, and the meaning was self-evident: "You waste, you don't have enough success, what's the use of you?" Zhong Qi had no choice but to bow his head.

Bo continued: "The third way is the Henan Coalition Army with the Song State as the core and students from Cao, Chen, Li, Hu, Xu and other countries. The fourth road is the Wangji-Hebei allied army composed of the children of the royal family and the students of the Hebei countries, such as Wei and Xing, who have a good relationship with them. ”

"Huh?" Ji Bohu said: "Why didn't they call me?" ”

Bo Jiang and Zhong Qi squinted at Ji Bohu together, and the meaning was clear: "You reckless man, you have more than one defeat, so you might as well not scream!" Ji Bohu had no choice but to bow his head.

Zhong Qi asked, "General Nabo, are you from the allied forces of the Shandong Kingdoms?" ”

"No!" The general shook his head proudly: "I am the fifth way!" ”

"And a fifth way?" Zhong Qi and Ji Bohu said strangely: "Didn't you say that there are only four people?" So who are these Fifth Centaurs? ”

Bo Jiang shook his head a little proudly, tapped Zhong Qi with his hand, then Ji Bohu, and finally tapped himself, and then looked at the two.

Zhong Qi and Ji Bohu looked at each other, and they didn't understand what the general meant for a while.

When the general saw that they were so unreasonable, he had to say, "It's just the three of us!" ”

"Huh?" Zhong Qi and Ji Bohu were shocked.

Zhong Qi hurriedly said: "No, no, no, don't call me for this kind of thing, I'm not this material!" ”

"Even if it's just, don't call me either." Ji Bohu also said: "What's the point of breaking into the female student's dormitory, it's better to have a good night's sleep." ”

Bo Jiang shook his head helplessly: "You two guys, can't you pursue a little?" Do you know what benefits you can get if you succeed? ”

"What's in it for you?" The two spoke in unison.

"Now someone has opened a handicap, betting on who will be the first to break through the ban and break into the dormitory of the female students." The general looked around at the two of them: "If you can hear a whisper from a female student, you will be rewarded with a penbei, and if you can get an object in the dormitory of a female student, you will be rewarded with ten penbei!" ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't react, Bo Jiang said in an accentuated tone: "Ten Pengbei! Do you know what ten penbes can get in exchange? ”

"We don't use shellfish in Tao country. If you need anything, you can exchange it directly. Zhong Qi said: "When I came here to go to school, my family changed shells for me. In our Tao country, one pound of fish can be exchanged for one pound of millet, and in the Yicheng of the Jin Kingdom, four catties of fish can be exchanged for a shellfish, but when it comes to Wangji, it takes five catties of fish to exchange for a shellfish, but a shell can only buy three catties of millet. ”

Bo Jiang turned to Ji Bohu: "What about your Yu Kingdom?" ”

Ji Bohu scratched his head and said: "Our Yu country is using shellfish, what can be exchanged, I don't know much about this, and I never buy things by myself...... It's probably about the same as Wangji. ”

Zhong Qi asked the general: "What about your Qi country?" ”

Bo Jiang said: "We don't use shells in Qi country, we use knives." As he spoke, he reached into his arms and took out a palm-sized red gold knife: "Our Qi country produces shellfish, in order to prevent self-production and abuse, the domestic shellfish of Qi must be supplied to Wangji, and this kind of knife is used in Qi country." The knife of our Qi country can buy twelve catties of millet or ten catties of fish with one knife. ”

The general suddenly thought of something, looked up and thought for a while, walked around the same place twice, and said to the two: "It's okay like this." In Qi State, one knife is used to buy twelve catties of millet, and when it is transported to Wangji, it can be exchanged for four shellfish, and then these four shells can be exchanged for two knives when it is transported back to Qi State. You see, this time and again, one knife becomes two knives. ”

Seeing that the two of them were at a loss, Bo Jiang walked to Zhong Qi's side and further inspired: "Take your Tao Country as an example." You don't need to go to Jin or Wangji to exchange shellfish, you transport the ten catties of fish from Tao Kingdom to Qi State, exchange them for a knife, and then use a knife to buy twelve catties of millet, and transport these twelve catties of millet to Wangji, you can exchange them for four shellfish - two shells for friends, this is two friends - twice as much as if you came directly to Wangji to exchange fish for shellfish! ”

"This ...... This ......" Zhong Qi finally understood: "I don't do production, I don't do labor, I just run the items in such a circle, and after a few ins and outs, it doubles...... This practice...... This can only be described as ......"

"Despicable!" Ji Bohu said loudly: "This kind of behavior is only done by those untouchables of former merchants!" After I destroyed the Shang in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Son of Heaven gave those merchants a fief in the virtue of a good life, but these merchants did not stay in the fiefdom well, and wandered around, which was ridiculous! After speaking, he snorted heavily.

"Where have you learned all these lessons?" Bo Jiang nodded Ji Bohu's head, walked away a few steps, and then turned around and asked, "Let me ask you, your Yu country does not produce salt, but you can eat the sea salt of our Qi country, why?" ”

The general turned his head to Zhong Qi and said: "Your Tao country does not produce brocade, but you can use the Shu brocade that uses Shu land, why?" ”

Zhong Qi originally wanted to say that our Tao country does not use Shu brocade, but seeing that the general is on the rise, he didn't say it.

"In the same way, our Qi country does not produce a silk cloth, but we can wear the Lu ...... of the Lu country" General Bo looked at the two of them and spread his hands: "Why?" ”

Seeing that the two of them did not answer, the general replied, "It's all because of the merchants!" Merchants go from place to place, buying and selling, bringing things from one place to another, distinguishing between the high and the low, adjusting the surplus and the short, and measuring the distance and the near - this is not a despicable act, but it is beneficial. ”

"Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the national strength has become more and more prosperous, and the more abundant the products, the business of these merchants will inevitably become more and more prosperous. Whether it's the fish of your Tao country, or the shellfish of Wangji, or the knife of our Qi country, I call them all 'coins'. If you want to buy and sell, you need to use 'coins', and it is conceivable that in the near future, this thing-" General Bo raised the red gold knife in his hand: "But it is very useful!" ”

After Bo finished speaking, he only felt that he understood a major event, and his spirit was radiant, and his whole body seemed to be about to shine. The knife in his hand was raised for a long time, but he saw Zhong Qi and Ji Bohu, you look at me, I look at you, and they all looked at the general. General Bo sighed secretly, knowing that what he said just now was in vain, so he could only point at the two of them angrily and say, "You two gentlemen, you really don't know the difficulty of life!" ”

Seeing that the two of them could not be lured, the general turned his brain, and he already had another idea. said: "Forget it, it's just that you're not interested in these ten punbei." But you know, we're not just doing it for the sake of the ten punbes. ”

Zhong Qi and Ji Bohu asked together, "Why is that?" ”

"I ask you, who was the first to make a fire?"

"The Suiren." Zhong Qi said.

"Who was the first to plant crops?"

"Shennong's." Ji Bohu said.

"Who was the first person to build a house?"

"There's Chao." Zhong Qi said.

"Why do you know it's them?"

"The official history is there." Zhong Qi said.

"Okay." The general approvingly, and then asked, "Who established the Xia Dynasty?" ”

"Dayu." Ji Bohu said.

"Who founded the Shang Dynasty?"

"SenseTime." Zhong Qi said.

"I won't ask for a long time," said the general, "why do you know it's them?" ”

"The official history is there." Ji Bohu said.

"Yes!" Bo Jiang slapped his thigh: "The reason why these sages can be remembered by future generations is because they made history!" ”

The general approached the two and clenched his fists: "And we are also going to make history!" ”

"Since the construction of our Biyong Hall in the seventh year of King Kang of the Great Zhou, there have never been female students, and this time there are female students to study, which is already a history." Bo Jiang said: "We are very lucky, we have caught up with this era, the wheel of history has been rolling forward, we must seize this opportunity to write a stroke in history, let history record our name - we want to be the first person to attack the dormitory of female students in the Great Zhou Biyong Pavilion, so that our legend will always be passed on here!" ”

"How?" The general looked left and right at the two of them: "Do you feel your blood boiling?" ”

"Great goodness!" Ji Bohu also clenched his fists: "I'll do this!" ”

Zhong Qi was also enthusiastically surged by Bo Jiang's words, but he always faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Alright, we're done." General Bo stepped forward and grabbed the two: "Next, I'll make combat arrangements." ”

Bo Jiang pulled the two of them to sit in front of his couch together, took a roll of bamboo slips and placed it among the three of them: "The upper house where Wang Ji and Ji Wuyu live, we don't touch this - I don't think anyone dares to touch it, our target is the middle house where the other ten female students live." ”

"This bamboo slip is like a dormitory where they live." General Bo gestured before and after the bamboo slips: "The battle in the next few days will revolve around here. ”

"Whoever wins the battle will know himself and his opponent. Before the war begins, we need to gather as much information as we can. The general raised three fingers: "There are three aspects of what we want to collect." ”

"First, the four people who are our competitors. Needless to say, from the Shandong countries, I have already installed the internal newspaper, so I don't have to worry about this. ”

"Second, the female students who are our target. After we break through, whether it's eavesdropping or stealing, it's all about them that we need to face. Ji Bohu, among the ten female students in the middle house, do you find anyone who is tricky? ”

Ji Bohu pondered: "That demon clansman, I saw that she has 'source' tattoos on her arms and shoulders, and there may be other places on her body, I don't know what attribute it is, the demon clan people can naturally use the 'source' to control the power of the five elements, you need to be careful." In addition, that witch person has a stinky face all day long, but every time I see her, there is always a chill on my body for no reason, this person can't see through it, and I need to be careful. ”

Bo Jiang said: "Well, when it comes to combat intuition, Huzi, you are the most accurate. He turned to Zhong Qi again: "Your daughter-in-law ......" Seeing Zhong Qi's eyes, he changed his words: "Your neighbor, okay?" Your two countries are close together, do you know what her abilities are? ”

Zhong Qi said: "The ability of the people of Qinguo, as far as I know, their sacrifice only has a talent of 'disguise'. ”

Bo Jiang and Ji Bohu said strangely: "'Yi Rong', what is that?" ”

Zhong Qi said: "Just like the sacrifice of our Tao country, the sacrifice of Qin country is good at 'transfiguration'. This is the ability to change one's appearance, our two countries will do a grand sacrifice every twenty years, in the festival, our Tao country's sacrifice drumming, Qin's sacrifice to change the face, the two sacrifices will dance together for a sacrificial dance, used to sacrifice to the gods. - This ability is not used in combat. ”

"It's kind of interesting." Bo Jiang touched his chin and said, "Then they can't become whoever they want to be?" ”

"It's not that you can change it as you like." Zhong Qi said: "I once heard my father say that the 'disguise' of their Qinguo sacrifice needs to be observed for a long time, and the characteristics of this person must be remembered in order to imitate the appearance of others. ”

"It's okay, it's not a combat-type skill, so don't worry." Bo Jiang said: "I'll find someone to find out about the information of the other female students." Huzi, you have to be prepared for hand-to-hand combat with the Warlock. ”

Ji Bohu puffed out his chest: "No problem." ”

"So, now on to the third and most important aspect - the information about the prohibition around the schoolgirls' dormitory." "According to my observations during this time, there are three prohibitions around female students. If I'm not mistaken, it was set up by Dr. Lu Kui, who taught stargazing, Dr. Yi Gao, who taught divination, and Wu Ji, an assistant who taught charms. ”

"Ji Bohu, Yi Gao is a native of Yu State, before entering the Biyong Pavilion, he had served in Taishi Liao in Yu Country for many years, and I will leave his information to you."

Ji Bohu said: "Okay." ”

"Zhong Qi, you are Wu Ji's favorite student, I heard that this Wu Ji once practiced in the Pan Palace in Kunlun Mountain. I want you to get as close to him as possible these days, to find out what books he is reading, what runes he is studying, and what materials he is collecting. If necessary, go to his dormitory and see what useful information can be found. ”

Zhong Qi was a little embarrassed, and when he saw Ji Bohu looking at him with disdain, he also reluctantly said, "Okay." ”

"As for Lu Kui, he is a person from the royal prison, and his information will be collected by me."

Bo Jiang slapped his hand on the bamboo slip in front of him, and looked at Zhong Qi and Ji Bohu: "Please work together, my generation will definitely leave a name in history!" ”

Ji Bohu's blood poured into his chest and he drank.

Zhong Qi was still a little hesitant and said, "These three are all masters who have been immersed in this way for many years, can we break their prohibition?" ”

"It's man-made. The Pan Palace of Kunlun Mountain, the Heavenly Prison of the Royal Family......" General Bo narrowed his eyes: "I want to teach them to know that the Taishi Palace of my Qi Country is not vegetarian!" ”

On busy days, time always flies. On June 16 of the seventh year of King Mu of the Great Zhou, it was here in a blink of an eye.

Since the morning, Zhong Qi has been paying attention to the people around him. Everything seems to be normal, but it's also too normal, even a boring class like a few lessons, and no one is absent today, which is so normal that it's already a little abnormal. Everyone seems to be casual, and only when their eyes touch each other, there will be tacit communication. Zhong Qi could feel that this undercurrent was surging silently among the students, just waiting for it to erupt tonight.

At lunch, Zhong Qi suddenly remembered a question and quietly asked the general: "I suddenly thought, today is the night of the full moon, and everyone from all walks of life has chosen to act today, isn't it easy to be discovered by the guards?" ”

"You just thought of it? If you find out, it's too late. The general said: "You don't have to worry about this, naturally someone will make the moon not shine tonight." Moreover, tonight is a great opportunity, and if you miss tonight, it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future. ”

"Why is that?"

"Because it's only today, the three gentlemen who set up the ban have all gone to Hokyung, and none of them are in the museum."

In the evening, a trace of dark clouds gathered in the sky and slowly formed a piece.

"The moon is blocked!" Zhong Qi looked out the window, turned to Bo Jiang and Ji Bohu.

"That's nature." General Bo put down the scroll in his hand: "It seems that all the people are ready, just wait for the light to fall at the first moment, and they will show their powers." ”

Ji Bohu rubbed his hands excitedly: "Then when will we leave?" ”

Bo Jiang said: "Don't worry, wait for all walks of life to fight with these prohibitions, and we will wait to reap the benefits." ”

"But, aren't you afraid that someone else will break the ban and get ahead of the curve?"

"It doesn't matter." General Bo said confidently: "I know very well the plans, manpower, and abilities of those people, and they don't have the strength to break the ban. ”

"They don't have any, do the three of us have?"

"Of course." The general said inscrutablely: "Those few prohibitions are in my eyes, but they are nothing more than muddy walls. ”

Zhong Qi and Ji Bohu glanced at each other, jumped forward at the same time, twisted the uncle's arm left and right, and pressed him on the couch: "What kind of pass are you kid selling, what kind of strategy is there to break the enemy, don't you recruit him quickly!" ”

"Pain, pain, pain, pain......" Uncle Jiang was still waiting for a fan, pretending to be strategizing, but who knew that when he met these two stunned goods, he was held down and couldn't move, so he had to shout: "Let go and let go, I say I say I say!" ”

The two let go of the general and looked at him with fierce eyes. The general rubbed his arm and said angrily: "You two guys, can't you be a little patient?" ”

Zhong Qi said: "Don't talk nonsense, we have collected so much information for you in the past few days, what is your way to break the ban, hurry up and give the brothers the bottom, or I am always unsteady in my heart." ”

"Alright, I'll ask you a question first." "If you fight with a lot of people, and five or six people come around and beat you one, how should you deal with it?" ”

"And what else to do?" Ji Bohu said: "Beat them all down, it's over." ”

General Bo gave Ji Bohu a roll of his eyes and said, "Forget it, I'll change the question." If there are several other countries that come to attack one of yours, how do you deal with it? ”

Zhong Qi said: "If our Tao Kingdom encounters this situation, we can only go to Yicheng and ask the Marquis of Jin to mediate." ”

General Bo asked Ji Bohu: "What about your Yu Kingdom?" ”

Ji Bohu said: "Then what else, do it with them." ”

The general asked, "How do you do more than a dozen?" ”

Ji Bohu glared, he also knew that what General Bo was asking was not actually about the war, so he waited for him to continue.

"The more opponents there are, the more disagreements and contradictions there will be between them. The best way is to find out the differences and contradictions between them, to drive a wedge between them, so that they no longer work together, but are suspicious of each other, and even attack each other, so that it will be much easier to fight. ”

"It's the same thing when we break the ban on female student dormitories." Bo continued: "After collecting information during this time, I have basically figured out the situation of the three prohibitions set up outside the dormitory of female students. The outermost one, which should be set up by Lu Kui, is an extremely domineering thunder and lightning ban, and the most people who have been tempted during this period of time are repelled by this ban, most of them are electrocuted and scorched, and only a very small number of masters have broken through this ban. According to those who broke through the first ban, they were obviously walking towards the house, but the next moment they were on the other side of the house, and they couldn't get close to the house repeatedly, and even turned around and turned back to the first ban, and were hit by lightning and bounced out. As for the third prohibition, no one has been there yet, judging from the information you have gathered, Zhong Qi, it should be a binding array set up by Wu Ji, which may combine the characteristics of the witch and the Kunlun Mountain Pan Palace's spells, as for the effect...... It is not yet known. ”

"Such a powerful prohibition, with our ability, we can't break it at all!" Zhong Qi said worriedly.

"We're not trying to break the ban itself." Bo Jiang said: "These three prohibitions are set up by different people, they come from different places, and they use different spell systems. In normal times, these three prohibitions are opened together, and they will repel each other. Now that these three prohibitions can be used together and are safe, it is certain that there must be a compatible protocol between them that allows them to communicate with each other. ”

"And what we have to do is to find out this compatible protocol, crack it, and then disguise it as the protocol itself, deceive these three prohibitions, and use the identity of this protocol to pass these three prohibitions."

After speaking, the general looked at Zhong Qi and Ji Bohu left and right: "What, did I make it clear enough?" ”

Zhong Qi and Ji Bohu were dumbfounded.

Zhong Qi reacted first and asked, "Then how do you find out this compatible protocol, and how do you disguise it as it?" ”

"There aren't many people who can set up a compatibility protocol for such a powerful ban. Coincidentally, I happened to know one. What's even more coincidental is that this person has been in Youjing recently. The most coincidental thing is that this person just owes my family a little favor. The general patted his chest and said with a smile: "The strategy to break the enemy is already in my chest." ”

Seeing Zhong Qi and Ji Bohu's suspicious expressions, Bo Jiang sat down on the couch for a long time: "Two brothers, but what are the questions?" ”

"One more question!" Zhong Qi stared at Bo Jiang: "Bo Jiang, with your intelligence and intelligence, you can obviously excel among the students in the hall, but why are your grades in each class so ...... So ......"

"A mess?" Bo will say. Zhong Qi nodded.

"Alas, your country is small, your interpersonal relationships are simple, and you know more than you know this aspect." The general said to Ji Bohu: "Come, Huzi, you come and tell him the truth here." ”

Ji Bohu had a rare opportunity to show off, and he asked Zhong Qi as a general: "Zhong Qi, do you know what 'hiding clumsy' is?" ”

Seeing Zhong Qi shaking his head, Ji Bohu said with satisfaction: "You see that Bo Jiang and their Qi Kingdom have come to so many students, and the most important thing is that the prince of their Qi Kingdom is also studying in this hall - that is Bo Jiang and his future lord." What's the good of you making so much of the limelight here? If you don't get jealous of the prince, it will be a big trouble in the future. What kind of person is Uncle General and his father, Lord Qinghe has been in the political arena of Qi for so many years, how can he not tell Uncle General to hide his edge and not be jealous! ”

When Zhong Qi heard Ji Bohu say this, he thought about it and vaguely understood the trick, and suddenly asked again: "But this time with these people competing for the lead, aren't you afraid of being in the limelight?" ”

"I said brother...... "Uncle patted Zhong Qi on the shoulder: "Who do you see who will be afraid of a leader who breaks into the dormitory of a female student?" ”

At the beginning of the day, all the lights in the hall were extinguished without wind, and the entire Biyong Hall was pitch black, only the wind lanterns hanging on the four corners of the Mingtang Palace were still emitting a dim yellow light. The moon in the sky has been completely obscured by dark clouds, and there is no light to shine through. Zhong Qi, Bo Jiang and Ji Bohu took advantage of the darkness of the night to sneak into the vicinity of the female students' dormitory, and found that the guards on duty had disappeared.

The three of them waited for a while, only to see that every once in a while, a blue arc of electricity lit up around the dormitory, mixed with one or two screams. After a while, the arc lit up more and more frequently, and by then, several places had lit up at the same time, and blue light came and went, illuminating almost everything around it.

"These four people can't hold back and launch a general attack, you see the first ban launched everywhere, presumably someone has broken through and entered the second ban. At this time, both bans have been activated, and the compatibility agreement must have begun to take effect. The general said, "—it's time for us to move." ”

Bo will take out an object from his arms, and Zhong Qi took advantage of the blue light activated by the ban, and vaguely saw that it seemed to be a small bird folded into a silk silk. The general put the silk bird in the palm of his hand, and the words in his mouth, the silk bird gradually revealed a faint green light, like a firefly in summer. The general threw the silk bird into the air, and the silk bird flapped its wings and flew away.

"Keep up with it." Bo will pull Zhong Qi and Ji Bohu, and the three of them will follow the silk bird closely.

The silk bird did not fly high, and led the three of them around the dormitory slowly, and from time to time one or two forbidden blue arcs stretched out, wrapped around the silk bird's body, and swam around the silk bird, and then dissipated in the green light of the silk bird's body.

The silk bird flew for a while, suddenly stopped in one place, stretched out its folded body, and spread it into a piece of silk silk that was a square foot. Zhong Qi looked intently, only to see that the runes that he couldn't understand were drawn on the silk silk, and the green light on the silk slowly dissipated, and then three rays of blue, red, and yellow light lit up, wandering everywhere along the lines on the rune, and finally converged to the center of the rune, and the three rays of light, along with the rune and the silk itself, gradually became transparent, and disappeared into the darkness of the night sky.

"That's it! The ban compatibility protocol we simulated has come into effect......" Bo Jiang excitedly said: "These three bans have been broken by us. ”

"Huh?" Ji Bohu said in a daze: "It's so simple...... It's cracked? I thought it would take a long time! ”

Bo Jiang learned from Mr.'s tone, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Gentlemen, you must know that in this world, no matter how complicated things are, as long as you find the right way, they are often easy to solve. ”

Zhong Qi also felt that this prohibition had been broken too smoothly, so he stretched out his hand tentatively and said, "Is the entire prohibition broken?" ”

Bo Jiang grabbed Zhong Qi and said, "The scope of the forbidden compatibility protocol we simulated is limited, and only this area within a radius of seven feet is valid - we have a narrow safe passage. Bo took out two short runes and handed them to Zhong Qi and Ji Bohu: "Take this rune with you." From now on, we have two quarters of an hour. In these two quarters of an hour, we are the prohibition itself, and nothing can stop us! ”

Outside the window, another blue light lit up, and a faint scream came from it. Xizi sat on the couch with her knees crossed, and couldn't help but be a little worried, she asked Ya Li: "Why are there so many people who come to break the ban tonight?" Will the ban be broken? ”

Ya Li didn't care, she looked at the blue light outside the window, and seemed to be interested: "What are you afraid of, even if they break the ban, what can they do, you look at the virtue of those male students, they are all weak, ten people can't stand the courage of one of our demon warriors, are you afraid that they will break in and eat us alive?" ”

"These male students are so strange, if they want to come to our dormitory, wouldn't it be good to come generously during the day, the ban will not be launched during the day, what do they have to explain to the guards, record it and you can come in, why do you work hard at night to break this ban?"

"Haha, who knows, maybe it's the prohibitions themselves that they want to deal with." Ya Li rolled over: "These male students are so strange, I don't understand what they are thinking." ”

Thinking of what happened since entering the school, Xizi couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, these male students are not only strange, they ...... It's so annoying! Every time I was asked a question with him in class, they would always laugh. Is...... Sick of it! ”

Ya Li deliberately asked, "Huh? What? Which 'he' are you talking about? ”

Seeing that Ya Li also asked this, he said angrily: "You dead girl, you ask knowingly!" ”

Ya Li grinned and said, "Oh, I'm just kidding, what are you annoyed about." ”

mentioned the annoying things, Xizi suddenly felt a sense of grievance for no reason, leaned his head on his knees, and said faintly: "Perhaps, I am just a nasty person...... It wasn't just the male students who laughed at me, but the female students who pointed fingers at me...... Did you hear what Cai Ji and Concubine Chen said about me today? They said it to me on purpose...... I know all of this. ”

"Oh, you ignore them. I annoy the two of them the most, I only know how to please Wang Ji, I can't learn anything, and I like to chew the root of my tongue. Ya Li said: "In my opinion, the two of them are not even as good as those male students!" ”

Seeing that the child did not speak, Ya Li got up, lifted the curtain of the child and got in, and in the darkness he vaguely saw the side of the child's head on his knees, and there seemed to be two bright lines on his face.

"Oh, my little wretch!" Ya Li hugged his son: "Our son is so simple and cute, how can anyone hate you, don't think nonsense!" ”

The son was hugged in his arms by Ya Li, and he felt that he was in tears because of this little thing, and he was a little embarrassed, but he was coaxed by Ya Li like this, and those grievances came out of nowhere, and the tears couldn't be stopped, so he hugged Ya Li's waist, buried his head in Ya Li's arms and sobbed quietly.

Ya Li pulled her son into the quilt, let her pill on her shoulder, and comforted her: "Our son is the best person." Do you know? I've never told you, but I'm very grateful to you in my heart. ”

The son didn't know what Ya Li was referring to, and his teary eyes were hazy, "Huh? A voice questioned.

Ya Li touched his son's hair and said, "Don't look at me, I'm usually not afraid, but I also have something I'm particularly afraid of, do you know what it is?" ”

Xizi didn't expect that Ya Li also had something to be afraid of, and she was interested, stopped sobbing, and asked, "What is it?" ”

"I'm most afraid of ...... Stay alone in the dark. ”

Ya Li pillowed one of his arms and began to speak slowly: "That year, I was only seven years old, and I lived in Miluo City with my mother and sister. One night, I don't know what was going on outside, my mother asked me to stay at home and not go out no matter what happened, so she and my sister left in a hurry. The people in the family are also gone, and none of the generals and servants who usually come and go in the house are left, and I am the only one in the huge house. It was a strange day, the wind was whining outside, like some monster was screaming there, and the fire in the house couldn't be lit, and the lights couldn't be turned on - just like we dropped the lights every day. I stayed alone in the dark, listening to the wind outside, and I always felt that there were many unknown ghosts lurking in the darkness, and it seemed that they were going to pounce and arrest me in the next moment. I don't have the 'source' pattern of fire on my body, and I can't activate the fire technique, so I can only desperately make the 'source' pattern of water and gold on my body light up in order to illuminate the small circle around my body. I'm the elder's daughter, and I'm going to be as powerful as my sister, and I kept myself from crying, but in my heart I'm scared, scared. I could only hide under the quilt and pray in my heart that my mother and sister would come back soon. Although it was only a few hours that night, I only felt as if a lifetime had passed. Since then, I've been terrified of being alone in the dark – I'll never want to be alone in the dark! ”

Ya Li hugged her son again and said, "I know that when we entered the dormitory, the other female students were unwilling to sleep with me, they disliked me, a demon clan, as a 'border barbarian', and were afraid that I would tarnish the dignity of their eldest ladies. Only you, my good son, only you do not dislike me, and are willing to sleep with me, so that I don't have to be alone, and I don't have to face this darkness alone every day. ”

"You say, how can you be such a good person, how can you be an obnoxious person? In other words, those who hate you, they themselves are the ones who are hated by everyone! ”

When he heard this, he only felt that tears were flowing out again, so he buried his face in Ya Li's shoulders and said sullenly: "Hmm! ”

Ya Li waited for a while, and saw that Xizi had stopped his tears, so he said: "Hey, you woman, people have already told you what you are most afraid of in this life, and you have to tell me what you are most afraid of." ”

"Huh?" Xizi raised his head and said, "I don't have any ......"

"I don't care, my story can't be heard in vain, you have to exchange yours!" Ya Li reached under her ribs and began to tickle her. The son was scratched and giggled, so he also reached over to slap the crow, and the two of them made a mess in the bed, and the sadness dissipated at once.

"Alright, alright!" The son finally couldn't resist the attack of the crow, grabbed her hand and said, "Don't make trouble, I'll tell you." ”

The son rested on Ya Li's shoulder and began to recall his memories: "What am I most afraid of...... It was when I was five years old......"

"At that time, I had just started to practice the 'transfiguration' of the clan. One day, my mother told me that Tauber, the king of the country next door, was coming to our house with his son. Our Qin country and the Tao country next door have been friends for generations, and the kings of our two countries are the sacrifices of the Son of Heaven, and they have to dance together every 20 years to sacrifice to the gods. I knew that my son and I had been engaged since we were children, and I was too young to know what a marriage contract was, but I knew that we would be very close in the future, just like Mom and Dad. I want to see what he looks like, but I'm afraid to see him, and I don't know what I'm afraid of, maybe I'm afraid that they won't like me......"

"I didn't go out on the day they came, I just took a sneaky look and ran back into the room, and I didn't even see their faces. I had to keep myself in my room and practice 'transfiguration' to calm my restless state of mind. But somehow he suddenly appeared behind me, I knew that he was the one who had a marriage contract with me, he was the one who would be close to me in the future, I forgot what he said to me, I just remember that when I turned my head, I was terrified, this was our first meeting, I wanted me to face him with the best face, but the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't control my face, I don't know what I became in the end, But I will never forget his frightened expression for the rest of my life—what a face it was, all distorted by the fright! He screamed and turned and ran away. We haven't seen each other since. By the time we meet again the next time, I'll have put on the mask of the Qinguo sacrifice. ”

Xizi let out a sigh: "What I am most afraid of in my life is the face that I am so frightened that I distort. But it's my own doing. Alas...... I'm ridiculous......"

"Oh, my darling, what are you thinking!" Ya Li hugged his son heavily: "How old were you at that time, he was startled by you, but you weren't scared by him." Boy, don't think about it anymore! ”

"Well, Ya Li, you're so nice!" The son also hugged Ya Li with his backhand and buried his head deep in Ya Li's arms.

Zhong Qi squatted outside the window and heard the present, only to feel a cold sweat slowly flowing down the back of his head. Suddenly noticed that there was something wrong beside him, and when he turned his head, he saw Bo Jiang and Ji Bohu staring at him with burning eyes in the dark.

"What do you want to do?" Zhong Qi said in fear.

"You kid......" Ji Bohu licked his lips.

"I ...... What's wrong with me......" Zhong Qi was anxious for a moment, and his voice unconsciously became louder.

"Silence!" The general whispered. "We've heard it all, it's almost time, now just go and grab a piece of the schoolgirl's dormitory, and you're done. Huzi, you go in first and lure away the demon clan who can fight. Zhong Qi, after you wait for Huzi to lure away the demon people, then go in and get something. ”

Zhong Qi and Ji Bohu asked in unison, "Then what are you doing?" ”

"Of course I'm going to do the most important job - help you keep an eye on the wind!"

Ya Li was comforting her son, when she heard a "click" from the window, and a figure jumped in as the lattice broke. Ya Li reacted very quickly, and one turned over and rushed out of the mantle of the mantle, and he had already slapped the person who came.

Ya Li only felt that the strength of the other party's palm was strong, took a step back to stabilize his figure, the "source" lines on his shoulders and arms lit up, and in the faint light, he saw a tall figure standing opposite, covered with a black scarf, and he couldn't see his face. He asked, "Who are you?" ”

Ji Bohu arched his hand and said: "In the Wuyou clan of the Xia Chu people, today I have come to learn your Excellency's high moves!" ”

Ya Li was stunned when he heard this, the Miluo City of the Demon Clan was in Chudi, but he had never heard of such a clan name as "Wuyou Clan".

Ya Li was stunned, Ji Bohu had already rubbed his body up, and his fists came out to take Ya Li. The blue "source" pattern on Ya Li's shoulders lit up, and a water practice appeared out of thin air, rolling up Ji Bohu's forearm. If it is an ordinary person, if the arm is twisted by this water, it will break the tendon and fracture. Ji Bohu took a deep breath and let out a loud cry, the muscles in his arms burst out, and he actually scattered Shui Lian into countless droplets and flew away.

Ji Bohu didn't stop, and continued to smash his fists over. Seeing that Shui Lian was broken, the golden "source" pattern on his arm lit up, his arms turned into red gold, and he punched Ji Bohu.

The two of them took a step back, Ji Bohu was surprised and delighted, since he came to the Biyong Pavilion, he has been fighting and practicing on weekdays, and no one has ever been able to take his full strength, but he didn't expect to run into an opponent at this time, and couldn't help shouting: "Okay!" Good! Good! Your Excellency is really clever, today you and I have fought 300 rounds! As he spoke, he pounced again.

The "source" pattern on Ya Li's shoulders lit up, and two water arrows appeared out of thin air, shooting at Ji Bohu, followed by two water arrows, and in an instant, seven or eight water arrows shot towards Ji Bohu one after another. The ban on Ji Bohu's body was activated, and the water arrow hit Ji Bohu's body to stir up a blue forbidden light. After a dozen water arrows, the prohibition on Ji Bohu's body was broken, Ji Bohu shouted, punched left and right to scatter the last two water arrows, and didn't wait for Ya Li to launch a spell again, rushing up and fighting with her in close quarters.

Ji Bohu and Ya Li were fighting in the middle of a fight, and suddenly heard a few bird calls outside the window, knowing that this was the uncle urging himself, so he forced Ya Li back with a punch, jumped on the window, and said proudly: "Although Your Excellency is powerful, it is a pity that you are not my opponent, and if you continue to fight, you will definitely lose, so don't do it here!" After saying that, he jumped out of the window.

Crow Li was very angry, and shouted: "You make it clear, what does it mean not to be your opponent?" As he spoke, he chased out of the window.

Seeing that Ya Li had been successfully led away by Ji Bohu, Bo Jiang stabbed Zhong Qi and said, "Quick, it's your turn, just take one and leave." ”

Zhong Qi climbed into the window, groped in the dark, touched something with his fingers, picked it up and was about to leave, but his hand suddenly tightened, and the thing in his hand was grabbed.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the dark clouds that covered the moon suddenly dissipated, and Zhong Qi's eyes lit up, and only then did he see that he was holding a leather mask in his hand, and at the other end of the mask was the hand of the child. The cold moonlight came in, and half an arc of light was reflected in Xizi's jet-black hair, and Xizi grabbed the mask with one hand, and covered his face with the other, and the two eyes exposed between his fingers sparkled in the darkness.

Zhong Qi was stunned, he looked at his son's eyes, as if he was shocked by the light in her eyes. He didn't fight for this mask hard, and strangely enough, Xizi didn't either, the mask just hung quietly in the air, one end connected to Zhong Qi, and the other end connected to Xizi.

The light of the full moon sowed into the cracked window, reflecting the silhouette of the two people in front of the window, whose hands were joined together.

After some time, the rapid sound of birds outside the window brought Zhong Qi back to his senses, and he let go of the hand holding the mask with a soft "ah". Zhong Qi took two steps back crampedly, wanted to say something, but couldn't say it, and finally could only bow apologetically, and then clumsily rolled out the window.

Wisps of dark clouds drifted before the bright moon, casting chaotic shadows on the ground. The mask hung in the air, but it never fell.

Zhong Qi, Bo Jiang and Ji Bohu slipped back to their dormitory, and the dark clouds in the sky had completely dissipated, and the room was full of moonlight.

Zhong Qi solemnly saluted to General Bo and Ji Bohu, and said, "The kid is incompetent, and he returned in vain, and the two brothers are tired of exhausting their efforts, please accept my worship." ”

General Bo narrowed his eyes: "You have been in for so long, and you have not gotten anything, not even a sound...... What happened to you in there? ”

"Also...... Nothing happened ......"

Bo Jiang circled around Zhong Qi, patted him and said: "Forget it, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen, we have already broken into the ban, since we can't get things, it may be the will of heaven." ”

"We, we also heard the female students......" Zhong Qi said, "You can also go and receive the reward......

"Who are you brothers?" Bo Jiang hugged Zhong Qi's shoulders: "What your future lady said is a private matter between the two of you, Ji Bohu and I are humble gentlemen, how can we do something to betray our friends and seek glory, and exchange my brother's privacy for that reward!" ”

Zhong Qi listened to the words of the general, his heart was grateful, and suddenly he thought of something again, and said, "That demon clan ......"

"That demon clan is very good, her name is Ya Li, right?" Ji Bohu said: "I haven't met such a strong opponent for a long time, Lao Tzu has a lot of pity!" He looked at Bo Jiang and Zhong Qi, and said, "I won't say the things she said, and I advise you two not to say it." ”

"I'm fine." The general said freely: "What about you, Zhongqi? ”

"It's best that way...... It's best to ...... like this," a stone in Zhong Qi's heart finally fell to the ground.

"However, I'm curious...... Bo Jiang suddenly changed his words, stared at Zhong Qi and said, "The thing that your future lady said is the most fearful, but our brothers have never heard you say it." What exactly do you see that would be scared like that? Taking advantage of the moonlight today, do you want to give an explanation to your brothers? ”

"Yes, my baby......" Ji Bohu also came up in a crowly tone and said: "What's going on, let's talk about it, or ......" He and Bo Jiang glanced at each other, and said in a solemn tone: "Our brothers, I'm afraid it will become the most feared thing in your life......"

"Alas, what else can there be, didn't you all listen to her......" Zhong Qi said helplessly.

"When I was seven years old, I went to visit Qinbo's mansion with my father for the first time. I was talking with my father and Uncle Qin, I was so young at that time that I couldn't understand what the two adults were talking about, I just got bored. I remember that it seemed to fly by a butterfly, and I ran after it, and then the butterfly disappeared, and I don't know where it was. I saw a door, and I didn't know what was wrong with me, so I walked in by mistake. There was a man in the house, and I suddenly knew that that man was the daughter of Uncle Qin, the man with whom I was betrothed, and my future wife. I also forgot what I said to her, I just remember her turning her head and her face ......"

Zhong Qi buried his face in the palms of his two hands and rubbed it vigorously, as if he wanted to gain strength to fight against the most terrifying thing in his memory.

"That face of hers...... How do you describe it? It's as if it's melting...... Melted...... The facial features on his face dissolved, and he was not where he was supposed to be—only the ghosts in the story would look like this. I was only seven years old! I don't remember what happened later, I only remember that when I woke up, I was lying in my father's arms, and I was already on the ship back to Taoguo. For a long time after that, I didn't dare to go back to Qinguo, not even Qinshui. Since then, that ghostly face has been in my nightmares ever since...... Until now. ”

After Zhong Qi finished speaking, he stopped talking. General Bo and Ji Bohu glanced at each other a few times, and they didn't know what to say. There was silence in the room for a moment. After a while, Bo Jiang and Ji Bohu stretched out their hands together and slapped Zhong Qi on the shoulder a few times to show comfort. Zhong Qi let out a sigh and patted the two of them as well.

"So," said the general, "this is what you had in your nightmares?" ”

"Hmm...", Zhong Qi replied casually, and suddenly realized: "How do you know that I have a nightmare?" ”

"Alas, Ji Bohu, this guy is asleep and can't move...... "Uncle General said quietly, "I am woken up by your nightmare screams every time, and I can't sleep all night......"

"I couldn't sleep all night, so I should have been noisy by Ji Bohu's snoring, right?"

"What, the general said that he was woken up by your scream!"

"Okay, okay, I'm tired all night, hurry up and go to sleep, I don't know how to be trained tomorrow!"

After such a noisy night, the male students were already ready for the next day's storm, but who knew that after a whole day, there was nothing to do. The three gentlemen who had set up the ban all returned to the museum, and they did not see any movement. After a few more days, it seemed that everyone had forgotten about it, as if none of this had happened.

For a long time after that, the prohibition outside the dormitory of the female students was not lit up again. And the bounty was unclaimed. By the time of the autumn break, it is said that the bounty has risen to three punshells for one sentence and fifty punshells for one thing. In the spring break of the following year, it rose to 100 punbe. However, until Zhong Qi and the others graduated from the Biyong Pavilion, they didn't see anyone receiving this reward.
