Chapter 10: Enchanted
The core building of the Biyong Pavilion is the Mingtang Palace. There are three floors in Mingtang Palace, the main hall on the first floor is the place for lectures, the second floor is the sacrificial wine residence, and the third floor is the stargazing hall. The stargazing hall on the top floor does not communicate with the lower two floors, but has an outer ladder leading directly to the outside of the temple. In the Hall of Astrogazing, there is a small gauge with the same regulations as the Royal Celestial Prison, which is used for the teaching and research of stargazing courses. Students who take the stargazing course are required to take turns on duty from the third year onwards to assist Dr. Lu Kui in recording the movement and changes of the stars.
After this year's spring break, when the third-year students had just begun to participate in the stargazing temple, the seniors who led them to familiarize themselves with the rules emphasized one point: "If you hear a woman crying in the hall at midnight, ignore it, just concentrate on stargazing." ”
There are rumors that there are ghosts in the Stargazing Palace, which has long been circulating among the students, but the third-year students didn't know the details before, so they pestered the seniors to inquire carefully. Ji Fei, the fifth-year-old son of the Jin Kingdom, saw that he had already whetted the appetite of the juniors, so he pretended to say mysteriously: "Do you know that when the foundation of this Biyong Pavilion was laid, there were people and animals buried under the foundation? ”
The secretary of Qi, Donghai Bo Shizi, said: "This is known. But the human animals are used for slaves and untouchables, and their souls are used to sacrifice to the gods of heaven and earth, and are taken by the gods, and it is impossible for any anger to turn into ghosts. ”
Ji Fei said: "This is nature. But do you know that this Biyong Hall was built for more than 20 years, and 12 of them were under construction for this stargazing hall. At that time, Sikong thought that the stargazing hall was used to gain insight into the way of heaven, and it was not tolerated by heaven, so he led the engineer and six craftsmen to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and used 18 people and animals, but it was still useless. After the last defeat, the Son of Heaven was furious, believing that it was caused by someone's lack of virtue, and in a hurry, he used his own daughter as a human sacrifice to show his sincerity. It is strange to say that with the sacrifice of noble heirs, this stargazing hall was successfully built. It's just that, after all, the noble bloodline is different from those slave pariahs, and the resentment of the daughter of Sikong does not melt, and every time until midnight, there is a cry echoing in this stargazing hall. ”
Ji Fei said and looked around, and said in a low voice: "It is said that the remains of the daughter of Sikong are still built in the walls of this stargazing hall......"
Ji Fei's voice was cold, and all the third-year students had goosebumps on their bodies after hearing this. He asked in a trembling voice, "Senior, have you ever heard this ghostly voice when you were on duty in the past few years?" ”
Ji Fei showed an unfathomable expression on his face, and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it, don't be an outsider." Yan Yu winked at everyone: "You will know if you try it yourself!" ”
The seniors said it very mysteriously, but a few months after the spring break, Zhong Qi had been on duty in the Stargazing Hall several times, and he had never heard any weeping. The three-year-old students talked about it privately, but it turned out that no one had heard it. After a long time, everyone knew that this was the seniors deliberately telling stories to scare themselves, and those seniors were just afraid that they were covering their mouths and snickering at this moment.
At the beginning of July, Lu Kui observed the transit of a long star, and then the stars fell like rain in the evening, which was a fierce celestial phenomenon, and Lu Kui only had time to say hello to the deputy priest, so he hurried to Hojing to report the matter to the royal family's heavenly prison. Stargazing classes have been suspended for the past few days, but the students are still on duty under the leadership of the fifth-year students.
On this day, it was the turn of Zhong Qi and Dyingzhi to be on duty in the Stargazing Palace, and they were on duty in the second shift, starting from the time of the child and ending at the end of the watch, before the next round of people would hand over. Since the beginning of the day, the lights in the museum have been curfew, except for the wind lanterns at the four corners of the Mingtang Palace, the rest of the lights cannot be lit. There is a pearl hanging on each of the four walls of the stargazing hall, and when the lamp is down, the pearl emits a soft light for the people on duty to make records.
Tonight, there is nothing abnormal in the sky, one of them abides by the rules of the stargazer, the other guards the starscope, and in their leisure time they discuss some music and talk about drums, which is not boring. The two were chatting, and suddenly heard a knock on the door, they got up together, opened the door and looked, but saw that it was Ya Li standing outside the door with a pearl in his hand, followed by his son.
Zhong Qi was a little surprised to see Ya Li, and asked, "It's so late, what are you doing here?" ”
Ya Li smiled at Zhong Qi and said, "Sure enough, you are on duty tonight." I've heard that there have been anomalous celestial phenomena recently, and there have been meteors falling, and we want to come here to see them with a starscope, okay? ”
"This ......" Zhong Qi didn't know if there was such a precedent before, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.
Ya Li knew that Zhong Qi was sometimes more axial, so he said: "Anyway, the doctor is not in the hall these days, and we don't mess with other things, just take a sneak look, what are you afraid of!" ”
Ya Li had the grace to save Zhong Qi, and Zhong Qi was not easy to refuse, so he looked at Xiang Zhi and gave him a look, wanting Xiang Zhi to say a few words.
Seeing that it was the son of the child who came, he understood when he saw Zhong Qi's eyes, patted Zhong Qi on the shoulder and said: "Brother Zhong Qi, I have been studying music theory for the past few days, and I am very tired, I will be lazy tonight, go back to sleep, and bother your brother to work hard, can you be on duty for me tonight?" With that, he bowed his hand to Ya Li and Xizi, and walked past them downstairs.
Zhong Qi saw that he would be wrong, he couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only shake his head and helplessly let Ya Li and his son in.
As soon as Ya Li entered the stargazing hall, he laughed loudly: "Ah, it's the first time I've come to this stargazing hall by myself, it's much cooler than a group of people crowding into class, and tonight's starry sky is all mine!" ”
Zhong Qi was so frightened that he hurriedly silenced her: "They all said that they were going to watch it secretly, don't be so loud, it disturbs others, I can't explain it." ”
Raven stuck out her tongue at him, then grabbed her son and ran to the stargazing glasses to take a look.
Ya Li pulled his son to happily look at the stars in front of the stargazing mirror, Zhong Qi was a little bored, so he slowly paced along the four walls of the stargazing hall. After walking twice, Zhong Qi walked to the gauge star gauge to check whether there was any abnormality in the stars. was looking at it, and suddenly felt that someone gently stabbed him, Zhong Qi turned his head and saw that it was a son. Xizi stretched out his hand in front of Zhong Qi, she held a bundle of tied square scarves in her hand, and Xizi untied the square scarf, and inside were two pieces of millet cake.
Isn't this the cake after last year's ceremony? Zhong Qi was surprised and delighted, he looked at Xizi a little shyly, Xizi raised his chin at him, and handed his hand in front of Zhong Qi. At this time, it was midnight, and Zhong Qi was really a little hungry. Zhong Qi wiped his hands on his sleeve, carefully picked up a piece of millet cake, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, it was indeed the fragrance, and then put it in his mouth and took a bite - it was the taste of this hometown!
Zhong Qi swallowed this piece of cake, narrowed his eyes, and let out a sigh of satisfaction, he looked at Xizi again, and was a little embarrassed. Zhong Qi reached into his arms, took out a square scarf, and handed it to his son. When I saw it, this was the square scarf that was wrapped in the cake after the ceremony, but I didn't expect him to carry it closely. Xizi took the square scarf, leaned in front of the mask, seemed to smell the scarf, and then returned the square scarf to Zhong Qi's hand. Zhong Qi was a little stunned when he saw that his son returned the square scarf, he carefully put the square scarf in his hand under his nose and smelled it, and said in his heart, this has no smell, I have washed this square scarf......
Zhong Qi raised her eyes to look at Xizi again, only to see that her eyes behind Xizi's mask were bent into two lines, she covered the part of the mask's mouth with one hand, and her shoulders shook slightly, as if she was laughing. Zhong Qi didn't understand what Xizi was laughing at, he scratched his head, slightly embarrassed.
Zhong Qi was at a loss, and suddenly heard the crow next to him shouting: "Oh, there are really meteors, come and see!" Hearing this, the son ran to Ya Li's side, and Zhong Qi's predicament was relieved.
Over there, Ya Li and Xizi were watching intently in front of the stargazing mirror, and Zhong Qi suddenly heard a sound in his ears, this sound was faint, as if it was nothing, if he didn't pay attention, he thought it was an auditory hallucination in his ears. Zhong Qi concentrated in his ears, and the voice gradually became real, vaguely a person's cry.
Zhong Qi chuckled in his heart, the hairs on his body stood up, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
It can't be true, right? Zhong Qi remembered the story told by his senior, and swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
After a while, the sound grew louder, and even Ya Li and Xizi heard it.
"Like...... Some sounds ...... Who's crying? Did you hear that? Ya Li raised his head and frowned.
"Uh...... Hmm......" Zhong Qi didn't know whether to say it or not, so he had to hmm.
At this time, Ya Li remembered the rumor that the stargazing hall was haunted, and hugged his son in shock, and said in a trembling voice: "No...... It can't be a ghost, right? ”
Seeing Ya Li frightened like this, Zhong Qi was not afraid, he sighed and said, "Alas, this ghost is also a poor person......"
Ya Li hadn't heard the story of the Stargazing Hall yet, and her curiosity was aroused, and she asked, "Hey, do you know the origin of this ghost?" ”
Zhong Qi nodded, and Ya Li said, "Then you tell us about it." ”
Zhong Qi coughed, and was about to speak, when Ya Li suddenly covered his ears and shouted, "Don't don't, don't talk about it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep after listening to it." ”
Zhong Qi's conversation was interrupted, and he had to stop talking. The three of them were relatively silent, and the cry still lingered in their ears intermittently. Ya Li finally couldn't stand the drive of curiosity, and said, "Otherwise, you should talk about it......"
"This ghost was originally ......"
"Ahh Yes! Don't talk about it! I don't want to listen to it, it's scary! ”
Zhong Qi just said a few words, but was interrupted by the crow's cry, Zhong Qi said helplessly: "It's you who want to listen, it's you who doesn't listen, what do you want?" ”
Ya Li said pitifully: "People want to hear it, but they are afraid......
Seeing that Zhong Qi and Xizi were staring at him, Ya Li stomped his feet and said, "Say it, if I don't listen to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep......"
Seeing that Zhong Qi was silent, Ya Li didn't mean to say anything, and said, "I won't interrupt you anymore, you can say it...... You say! Ya Li buried her head on her son's shoulder, as if she wouldn't hear Zhong Qi's words, and turned her head from time to time to sneak a glance at Zhong Qi, waiting for Zhong Qi to tell the origin of this ghost.
Zhong Qi saw that Ya Li really didn't mean to interrupt anymore, so he truthfully relayed the story he heard from his seniors to the two.
"So, the bones of the Daughter of the Sky are still in the walls of this stargazing hall?" After listening to Zhong Qi's story, Ya Li peeked at the surrounding walls.
"This ghost is indeed a poor man...... "The son also muttered to himself.
Ya Li lowered her head and thought about it, and suddenly said firmly: "If the soul of the daughter of Sikong is still here, then we will come to find her." My mother taught me the art of dividing water and fixing the soul, you can use water to sense the soul qi of people, to find the hidden person, I can try to use this spell to find the location of this ghost. ”
Zhong Qiqi said: "Hey, why aren't you afraid?" ”
"I'm afraid." Ya Li said: "However, when I heard you say that she has such a miserable life experience, she must be very scared and lonely, so she is still crying here for decades...... If we can find her and listen to her, maybe we can help her resolve her grievances, so that she can be reincarnated as soon as possible. ”
Zhong Qi smiled when he heard this: "I can't see it, Ya Li, you are still a very kind person......"
Ya Li glared at Zhong Qi, let go of his son, and closed his eyes to concentrate. The "source" pattern on her shoulders lit up, and Zhong Qi found that some small shadows gradually appeared on the four walls, and when she looked at it again, she saw clearly that countless small water droplets appeared out of thin air suspended in the air, and were reflected by the light of the pearl, casting shadows on the wall.
The water droplets floating in the air slowly rotated along the wall, turning faster and faster, turning for a while, slowing down again, and gradually converging in one place, condensing into a water curtain with each other.
Ya Li opened his eyes, led Zhong Qi and his son to the water curtain, and said, "It's here." There is a breath of soul in this direction. With a wave of his hand, the water curtain dispersed, and on the wall behind him was a star map.
"Are her remains in this wall?" Zhong Qi stepped forward and took a closer look at the star map by the light of the pearl. Ya Li hid behind his son, a certain distance away from Zhong Qi, and secretly looked at Zhong Qi.
Zhong Qi looked at the star map and found nothing abnormal, so he got closer to the star map to observe it carefully. His hand stroked carefully on the star map, and when he touched Zi Weixing, he felt that the hand felt different, he pressed his fingers lightly, but he heard a sound of "rolling", and the star map actually moved to the side, revealing the door of a black hole, it turned out to be a secret door!
As soon as the secret door opened, the cry in the ears of the three people became clearer. The secret door was swarthy, and he didn't know where it led, Zhong Qi put his hand on it and probed, but he didn't feel the wind. Zhong Qi leaned his ear up to listen carefully, and sure enough, the cry came from here.
"Perhaps, this secret door leads to the place where her remains are buried." Zhong Qi turned to Ya Li and Xizi and said, "Shall we go in and have a look?" ”
Ya Li blinked and looked at Zhong Qi, and then at Xizi. The child nodded to her, and Ya Li nodded with a flat mouth.
Seeing that the two of them agreed, Zhong Qi took down a pearl from the wall, and asked Ya Li to take out the pearl she had brought with her when she came, and then walked in the door first.
"Ahh Yes! No! Ya Li suddenly screamed again, startling Zhong Qi, who was about to enter the door.
"I'm still scared, let's not go in, or ...... Let's go to Mr. Bao and come back here during the day! Crow Li flattened her mouth, and she was about to cry, and it seemed that she was really scared.
Seeing this, Zhong Qi had no choice but to say: "In this case, you two go back to the dormitory, and I will report to Mr." ”
Ya Li pulled the son out of the door quickly, and the son said worriedly when he left: "You are here by yourself, doesn't it matter?" ”
"Don't worry, I've learned a spell class, and I have a spell in my body, and ordinary ghosts won't hurt me so easily." Zhong Qi comforted: "What's more, I am the sacrifice of the Son of Heaven, I have a heroic and righteous spirit, and those ghosts are easy to get close to me." ”
Seeing Zhong Qi say this, Xizi relieved himself a little and accompanied Ya Li back to the dormitory.
After Xizi and Ya Li left, Zhong Qi looked at the dark door alone, hesitating in his heart. Dr. Lu Kui of the stargazing class is not in the museum, and it stands to reason that this matter should be reported to the deputy priest and the old man. Several senior doctors in the museum live in the mansion built for them outside the museum, and what is going on here has not yet been figured out, so they run to the old man's mansion in the middle of the night to disturb them, but it is not very likely. Zhong Qi thought about it, but decided to figure things out first. He made up his mind, so he drew two protective forbidden runes in advance and brought them with him, and watched at the secret door for a while, and finally walked into the door resolutely with the pearl in his hand.
As soon as he entered, the light of the pearl filled the space in front of him, and he saw a narrow walkway inside the door, with a staircase that seemed to extend downward. Zhong Qi walked down the stairs with Mingzhu, this staircase seemed to be built around the wall, the slope was very gentle, not steep. The further down Zhong Qi went, the clearer the cry became. Zhong Qi walked more than twenty steps, and saw a bright light in front of him, which seemed to be a doorway, Zhong Qi walked a few steps quickly and walked into the door.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhong Qi was startled by the sight and almost ran away. I saw that this was a small room two feet square, with many books on the shelves on both sides, and a pearl hanging on the roof, emitting a faint light. What frightened Zhong Qi was a large net in the room, and in the center of the net was a thing that couldn't tell whether it was a person or a ghost, and the figure was a woman, with long hair, and she was crying faintly with her head hanging down at this time, and it seemed that the cry heard in the stargazing hall was made by this person.
Zhong Qi originally wanted to run, but remembered that he had boasted about Haikou in front of his son, but he didn't let himself turn around and run away. He activated the prepared forbidden runes and arranged the defenses around him first, but he didn't dare to step forward, and only stayed where he was to observe the situation.
Zhong Qi looked at it for a while, and found that the person in the net was crying, and there was intermittent muttering, Zhong Qi listened attentively, and heard that the person was saying, "Don't come...... Please...... I don't want to practice anymore......"
After pausing for a while, Zhong Qi only felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, as if it was someone he knew. When he saw that the man in the net was only crying and did not do anything, he took two steps forward with courage, lifted the pearl in his hand away from the net, and asked, "Who are you?" What to do here? ”
When the man heard Zhong Qi speak, he raised his head, revealing a pale face. Although this face is bloodless at this time, it still does not lose its usual coldness, isn't this the student of the Wu Clan-Wu Ping?
Zhong Qi saw that it was someone he knew, and most of his fear disappeared, and he asked, "Wu Ping, why are you?" What are you doing here? ”
Wu Ping also recognized Zhong Qi and said weakly to him: "Come and save me, put me down......"
Zhong Qi's fear disappeared, and his vigilance gradually grew, he remembered that below the Star Gazing Hall was the residence of the sacrificial wine, and the sacrificial wine master Yafu of the Biyong Pavilion had been fighting with Zhou Gong in the Northern Underworld for a long time, and the sacrificial wine residence had always been empty and uninhabited, and there was such a secret passage in the Star Gazing Palace, which was probably the secret of the sacrificial wine, and Wu Ping was bound here, which was really strange.
Zhong Qi raised the pearl in his hand, and looked around the room again, and saw that behind the net that bound Wu Ping, there seemed to be a door, and I don't know where it leads. Zhong Qi asked, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" How did you get tied up here? ”
Wu Ping looked at Zhong Qi and didn't answer, but said repeatedly: "Save me...... Let go of my ......"
Zhong Qi only felt that the matter here was too unbelievable, so he said: "I'm afraid I can't save you now, and I don't know how to let you go, wait for me to report to Mr., Mr. Yigao and Mr. Wu Ji will definitely have a way to save you." ”
Wu Ping heard Zhong Qi say this, and hurriedly said: "Don't go, don't leave me, I'm so scared...... All you have to do is come over to me, touch me, touch my face, and you'll get me out. ”
Hearing Wu Ping say this, Zhong Qi was suspicious, but just looked at Wu Ping vigilantly.
Wu Ping saw that Zhong Qi didn't move, so she said, "I remember your name is Zhong Qi, right, we have taken classes together." Brother Zhongqi, I know that you are a kind person, and you can't bear to watch me suffer here, just come to me, okay, come here......"
Wu Ping's voice gradually became soft, this voice was soft and glutinous, listening to Zhong Qi's ears, it seemed that his ears were crispy and itchy. Zhong Qi felt that the light of the two pearls seemed to be a little brighter, shining on Wu Ping's face, showing that she couldn't say softness. Wu Ping's eyes were full of tears, and a pitiful look made Zhong Qi feel a sense of pity in his heart.
Wu Ping called softly, each one like a small hand, gently scratching Zhong Qi's heart. Zhong Qi was in a trance for a while, and then looked at Wu Ping, only to feel that Wu Ping at this time was delicate and cute, charming and graceful, really bright and beautiful, Zhong Qi just wanted to reach out and touch her face......
A melted face flashed in front of Zhong Qi's eyes, it was the fear that had appeared countless times in Zhong Qi's nightmare, Zhong Qi was startled, and when he looked at it again, there was still something charming and lovely in front of him, it was still Wu Ping's pale cheeks, and she was still staring at herself coldly.
Only then did Zhong Qi realize that he had walked in front of Wu Ping at some point, and reached out to touch Wu Ping's cheek. Zhong Qi screamed and sat down on the ground.
Wu Ping showed an unbelievable look in her eyes and coughed, "How is this possible...... Ahem...... How can you ......"
Zhong Qi only felt that this place was really weird, so he hurriedly got up, turned around and ran towards the place he came from. He ran back to the Hall of Stars in one go, leaned against the wall and gasped, opened the door to the outside of the Hall, and rushed out and disappeared into the night outside the door.
Wu Ji came to work in the Biyong Pavilion in the winter of the fifth year of King Mu, and his teaching time was relatively short, his qualifications were still shallow, and he was not qualified to build a special mansion outside the museum, so he had been living in the upper house in the south of the Biyong Pavilion. At this time, Wu Ji was sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door, he opened the door and saw that it was Zhong Qi.
Before Wu Ji could ask, Zhong Qi said breathlessly: "Sir...... Viewing and stargazing halls ......"
Wu Ji heard Zhong Qi say the words "Stargazing Palace", his expression was grim, and he didn't wait for Zhong Qi to finish speaking, picked up a robe and draped it on his body, and hurried to the Stargazing Palace. Poor Zhong Qi didn't catch his breath yet, so he chased Wu Ji back to the stargazing hall.
Wu Ji and Zhong Qi went down to the dark room under the stargazing hall and saw Wu Ping who was tied to the net, Wu Ji frowned, and said, "It turned out to be you!" ”
Wu Ping saw that Zhong Qi had found Wu Ji, so she stopped talking and turned her head away, looking arrogant.
Wu Jidao: "After Tian Hunting last year, we found that someone took advantage of the chaos caused by Zhuhuai to try to break into the residence of the sacrificial wine, and after breaking the first layer of prohibition set up on the periphery of the residence, they were repelled by the second layer of prohibition. We have re-enforced internal and external restrictions to prevent further intrusions. You've been dormant for months, presumably in preparation for your next break-in. It's hard for you to find this secret passage, but you didn't expect that this was a trap for us to trap the intruder, and this time we finally caught you. Wu Ji sighed and said, "It's just that I didn't expect that this person was really you." ”
Wu Ping said disdainfully when she heard this: "Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that I fell for Yi Gao's illusion and disturbed my mind, how could you trap me with your little bondage!" ”
Wu Ji saw Wu Ping speaking with a clear mind, and said in surprise: "You actually broke Yigao's illusion?" How did you do that? ”
Wu Ping didn't speak, just looked at Zhong Qi coldly. Wu Ji turned his head to look at Zhong Qi, and Zhong Qi saw that the two of them were looking at him, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
Wu Ji looked at Wu Ping, then at Zhong Qi, and after a few turns in his mind, he immediately understood, and nodded: "I see." You use 'Ji You' to transfer the illusion in your body to Zhong Qi, and without the suppression of illusion, you can break my binding array in just one hour." It's just that you didn't expect Zhong Qi to be able to break the illusion on his own so quickly and find me...... Wu Ping, you have exhausted all your efforts, but you still succeeded, which can only be said to be a certainty. ”
Wu Ping sneered: "Don't be complacent, you said that I dared to break into here today, didn't I reserve other back-ups?" Wu Ping raised her head and looked around, and said, "It should be almost time at this time, Wu Ji, if you are a competent gentleman, think about it first, my arrangement will be launched in a while, do you want to stay here and deal with me, or go to save the students in this hall." ”
Wu Ji stared at Wu Ping for a while before he said slowly, "What are you talking about, but the summoning rune array you arranged in the hall?" I'm afraid that this array can't take effect at this moment. ”
Wu Ping heard Wu Ji say his arrangement, stared at Wu Ji, and finally had a trace of panic in his eyes.
Wu Ji said: "You are very patient, it took you months to arrange this huge rune array, you waited until now to break into here for the second time, you must be waiting for your rune array to be arranged, right?" You are also very clever to draw this rune array with Xuan Ying powder mixed with impermanence water, thinking that no one will be able to find out. It's just that you ignore that although the impermanent water mixed with Xuanying powder is formless and colorless, the qi that evaporates after being irradiated by the sun will block the sunlight and leave shadows on the ground. Although this shadow is not easy to detect, if someone looks condescendingly when the sun is shining obliquely in the morning and evening, they can spot this invisible rune array from the direction of these shadows. ”
Wu Ping muttered when she heard this: "How can this be...... I do it so secretively...... You can even find ......"
Wu Ji said: "I didn't find it. It was discovered by accident when Zhong Qi and Dying Zhi were discussing music on the top of Bishan Mountain. Wu Ji looked at Zhong Qi and turned to Wu Ping again: "The Zhuhuai you summoned during the autumn hunt last time was also subdued by us after being blocked by Zhong Qi. This time, your arrangement was broken by Zhong Qi again, it seems that between the two of you, the karma is not shallow. ”
Zhong Qi was a little embarrassed when he heard Wu Ji say this. But listening to Wu Ji's tone, he became stern: "Wu Ping, during the last autumn hunt, I found that the rune array that summoned Zhu Huai in the hunting ground forest had traces of witch magic, so I already suspected that it was you." Last time you summoned Zhu Huai out, this time you spent so much effort to make the arrangement, what are you going to summon? ”
Wu Ping said: "Since you have discovered it, I am not afraid that you will know that what this rune array wants to summon is - Qiqi!" ”
Wu Ji was shocked: "You're crazy!" Summon a beast like Poor Odd! The last time Zhu Huai appeared, everyone was fully armed, and more than a dozen people were injured, if this time Qi Qi was successfully summoned by you, in the middle of the night, it would be difficult to distribute it, and someone would die! ”
Seeing that Wu Ping still didn't speak, Wu Ji turned into anger: "Wu Ping, you have to break into the sacrificial wine residence several times, and even do not hesitate to summon a fierce beast like Zhu Huaiqi, even disregarding human life, what are you trying to do?" ”
Wu Ping said proudly: "Wu Ji, what I want to do, you are not qualified to know!" ”
Seeing that Wu Ping was still so stubborn, Wu Ji shook his head, calmed down a little, and said, "Since you are like this, I have no way to help you, so I can only hand you over to Mr. Deputy Priest to deal with." Then he turned around and was about to leave.
Wu Ji was just about to walk out of the dark room, when Wu Ping suddenly shouted: "Wu Ji, since you know that I have a magic weapon 'Jiyou' on my body, can't you think of who the person behind me is?" ”
Wu Ji's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he turned around suddenly, staring at Wu Ping and said, "Are you doing something for Linfeng Pavilion?" ”
Wu Ping didn't speak, raised her chin, and her face was full of cold pride.
Wu Ji stood in place for a while, his face uncertain. Finally, Wu Ji raised his head, made a move of his hand, and the big net flew into Wu Ji's sleeve. Wu Ping fell to the ground, still a little sluggish for a while. Wu Ji stared at Wu Ping and said, "You go, I'll let you go this time." However......" Wu Ji said in a stern tone: "If you dare to do anything that threatens the lives of the teachers and students in this hall again, I will not spare you!" ”
Wu Ping rested in place for a while, and then slowly walked towards the door of the dark room with her right arm. When she walked to the door and was about to step on the stairs, Wu Ji said again: "Wu Ping, please tell Your Highness that the Biyong Pavilion is a place to teach and educate people, and there are no things she wants here." ”
Wu Ping turned around and said to Wu Ji: "Wu Ji, let me remind you that although you are a teacher in the Biyong Pavilion of the Zhou people, don't forget, you are still a witch!" ”
Wu Ji said coldly: "I will return this sentence as it is!" Wu Ping, since our Wu clan helped Zhou to destroy Shang, it is a solid alliance of the Zhou State. This week, the people are rich and strong, which is in line with the general trend of the world. In these years, it is also because the Zhou army has restrained the Yunzhong tribe in the North Underworld, that we can have a peaceful situation in Kunlun Mountain for more than ten years. I advise you and the people behind you, before doing anything, think about the tens of thousands of compatriots of the Wu clan on Kunlun Mountain! ”
Wu Ping stared at Wu Ji for a while, snorted heavily, turned around and walked up the stairs slowly, and there was no sound for a while.
Zhong Qi watched Wu Ji and Wu Ping exchange words for a long time, and could only understand what they said, and when he saw Wu Ji let Wu Ping go, he felt a little dazed for a while.
Wu Ji looked at the direction of Wu Ping's departure for a while, and when he came back to his senses and saw that Zhong Qi was looking at him, he said to Zhong Qi: "Zhong Qi, what happened here, I will report to Mr. Deputy Priest tomorrow." Regarding this secret passage and what happened tonight, please keep it a secret and do not reveal it. ”
Zhong Qi said: "Yes, sir, the student understands. ”
Wu Ji hesitated for a moment, and then said to Zhong Qi: "This Wu Ping, although she has done a lot of wrong things, she is not a vicious person in her bones. Zhong Qi, if you can, I want to ask you to help me take care of her more in the future, so that she doesn't do anything wrong again, okay? ”
Zhong Qi was a little dazed when he heard Wu Ji say this, he didn't know what Wu Ji wanted him to do, if he wanted him to stare at Wu Ping, with Wu Ping's ability, he was far from being an opponent. But when he saw that Wu Ji's words were sincere, he also nodded slowly.
Wu Ji remembered that Zhong Qi had also been hit by Yi Gao's illusion at this time, and asked, "You were tricked by the illusion before, do you feel wrong now?" ”
Zhong Qi touched his head, turned his neck, and didn't notice anything abnormal, so he said, "It's okay now." ”
Wu Ji said: "Don't take it lightly, this illusion is very powerful." ”
Zhong Qi didn't understand how he fell for the illusion, so he asked Wu Ji, who asked Zhong Qi to recount what happened when he first entered the dark room, and muttered: "This dark room is a place for sacrificial wine and secret discussions among the doctors in the hall. We've set a triple trap here. The first thunder and fire double rotation array was broken by Wu Ping, and when she broke the formation, she was hit by the second illusion, and the third ice net bound by me. This second illusion is very ruthless, and it is Mr. Yigao's proud work. Those who fall for illusion will first be attracted to what their hearts desire most, and then when they are most happy, they will be drawn out of the most terrifying scenes in their hearts. Ordinary people who fall for this illusion often have a mental breakdown and become delirious, and Wu Ping also has a magic weapon to protect herself, so she can support it for so long. The magic weapon on Wu Ping's body, the name is 'Ji You', it is a very powerful magic weapon in Kunlun Mountain, and the last time in the charm class, Wu Ping's fireball was increased in power, which was caused by this magic weapon. When she saw you coming, she used the power of the magic weapon to transfer the illusion to you with eye contact, trying to lure you to you. It's just that she didn't expect that this illusion would be broken by you at once. ”
Wu Ji patted Zhong Qi and said, "It's really thrilling to think about, if you didn't crack the illusion by yourself and were induced by her to touch her body, she would be able to transfer the ice net binding on her body to you with the help of the power of the magic weapon, so that you have two spells in your body, but Wu Ping has to get out of the predicament...... The consequences are unimaginable. ”
Zhong Qi listened to Wu Ji's careful explanation, and then he realized that he was probably going around the ghost gate just now, and he was also a little afraid.
Wu Ji looked Zhong Qi up and down, and said, "But I'm also strange, Mr. Yigao's illusion is so powerful, don't say it's Wu Ping, even if I get hit, I can't easily get out of trouble, how did you crack it at once?" What do you see in the illusion? ”
Zhong Qi scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "At the beginning, I thought Wu Ping had become a beauty...... Of course, she is also very beautiful, but what I see is different from her usual, no longer the kind of cold, but ...... It's very soft, very charming, and there is some pity and cuteness, which makes me unconsciously want to step forward to take care of her...... Alas, what a faux pas! ”
Wu Ji laughed when he heard this: "Young people, if you know how to be lustful, you will admire Shaoai, there is nothing to be embarrassed about." But what do you see behind the horrors? ”
Zhong Qi recalled that terrifying face, his lips trembled, and said, "That is a terrifying face that I saw when I was a child, and this face has often appeared in my nightmares in the past nine years. I've been battling it a lot in nightmares for the past few years, and if I find out I'm going to dream about it, I'll try to fight to wake up early to avoid it frightening. Over time, I also had some experiences, and I was able to wake up as soon as I saw this face in my hallucinations, which may have something to do with my previous experience of fighting nightmares. ”
When Wu Ji heard Zhong Qi say this, he also sighed: "I see." It seems that the ability you have trained over the years to fight nightmares has helped you break the illusion in the critical moment. It's a kind of chance. ”
At noon on the second day, Zhong Qi was still having lunch at the kitchen in the hall, Ya Li hurriedly came over with his son, and just sat down opposite him, Ya Li asked, "How is it, did you go to report to Mr. last night?" Have you seen it there? Is the female ghost there? ”
Zhong Qi chewed the food in his mouth, remembering Mr. Wu Ji's advice, he couldn't tell them what happened last night, but he wouldn't lie to people, so he had to chew while "um, ah" perfunctory.
Seeing Zhong Qi's strange behavior, Ya Li said, "What's wrong with you?" Can't talk about it properly? You can't be fascinated by a beautiful female ghost last night, right? ”
Zhong Qi swallowed the food in his mouth, and when Ya Li said this, he couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in the illusion last night, and his heart suddenly felt confused, and he raised his chin and muttered, "Pretty is beautiful...... It's different from usual...... It's very soft, very charming, and there is some pity and cuteness, which makes people want to take care of it...... Merely...... Alas...... It's a shame......"
Seeing Zhong Qi's unyielding look, Ya Li heard him say those words again, and said angrily: "You are really fascinated by ghosts!" Hmph, Deng's disciple! Let's go with your female ghost! "Pick up the ass and leave.
Xizi didn't feel anything, but seeing that Ya Li was angry, he inexplicably felt some anger in his heart, glared at Zhong Qi, and took Ya Li and left.
Zhong Qi came back to his senses and saw Xizi and Crow leaving angrily, and was very surprised: "What's wrong with them?" Why are you so angry when you are so good? ”
Zhong Qi pondered from noon to night, and he still couldn't understand why these two girls suddenly became angry?
