forty-four

.........

When Lu Xici woke up, it was already sunset, there were a few pieces of paper on the case, the window lattice that was not closed squeaked, a gust of wind blew, the paper man jumped a few times on the case, and he returned to calm again.

She saw that her heart was beating suddenly, I don't know if it was because of the jet lag or because there was no light when she stayed here, she always felt tired, opened her eyes, clearly awake and as if she was not awake, elbows supporting her head, and there was a little bit of nodding. There was a gust of wind blowing, wafting a faint fragrance of flowers, and for a moment, it was as if I had a dream.

Dream......

It was clearly the Ren family courtyard, but in the blink of an eye, it was not the Ren family courtyard she saw. She pushed open the door, the stars were shining outside, the night was thick, the dew was cold, Lu Xici listened to the insects, looked at the path full of grass, the flowers and plants in the courtyard were inlaid in the stones, long and high, covering the original stone steps, the grass insects sang all night, she walked aimlessly all night, the morning light was first seen, and everything was sparse.

There was a figure standing in front of him, he couldn't see it really, Lu Xici stopped, and in less than a moment a waiter came up from the side, who knelt on the side of the road and said loudly, please get in the car and go along.

Lu Xici shook his head, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was his own will or his own will in his dream, Lu Xici saw "himself" walking straight towards the forest past the waiter.

Xuyi, I don't know when another person appeared in the forest, Lu Xici shook his head and refused to go with him.

After walking for a few more hours, Lu Xici stopped, leaning on a tree trunk and waiting for someone, at this time, a figure came from the forest with a full sleeve fragrance, and the white mist floated among the grass and trees.

Getting closer, the color in the eyes of the person she was waiting for flowed with warmth, like a spring breeze road, dissolving pieces of ice, Lu Xici stood aside with his eyes down, watching the dew on the placket of the man's broken clothes, she walked in front of the man, stopped, stretched out her right hand to the man, and continued to walk towards the white mist of the forest. There was no intersection with each other, only the placket of the two of them brushed through the flowers and grass, bringing a sound of sooting.

Lu Xici woke up, her eyelids moved slowly, the harsh sunlight shot straight into her eyes, the crow feathers on her eyes trembled, she opened her eyes, and looked blankly at the strange environment around her, she lay next to a dead grass, lowered her head, she couldn't help rubbing her legs, she didn't expect her calves to be really sore, and it really seemed that she had walked all night. She was a little tired, put her hand aside casually, and reached out to touch it, and it turned out to be a section of white bone.

Lu Xici felt that he was immersed in ice water.

Her eyes widened, and she threw out the white bones in her hand directly, but she didn't expect that as soon as she got up, she heard a clicking sound, and the hairs on her body stood up, and she slowly turned her head to look along the sound, and saw a skull behind her walking up automatically.

She looked up at the clear white sky, but she didn't expect that it was broad daylight, and evil things had already begun to haunt her.

Lu Xici only felt that his heart was suddenly grabbed by a huge palm, and he almost couldn't breathe!

Lu Xi porcelain got up and took a few steps back, the skeleton's black hole eyes, the corners of the mouth seemed to be smiling, it didn't really look very real, but there was a touch of red, it seemed to be oozing blood at any time, suddenly, the skeleton slowly approached Lu Xi porcelain, Lu Xi porcelain wanted to move, wanted to escape, but the whole body was stiff and motionless, allowing the skeleton Jiang to cover his neck one by one.

Lu Xici stared blankly at the fingers that choked her throat, and struggled slightly to clasp the skeleton's fingers, but there were blood dripping on her face and neck one by one, she raised her eyes in amazement, feeling that the world was very quiet, she felt that her breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and the whites of her eyes slowly rolled up.

At the moment of suffocation again, the whole body was thrown down by the skull. She felt like the skeleton of her body was falling apart.

Lu Xici was dripping with cold sweat, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the tips of his fingers had lost their temperature and were trembling.

The skeleton continued to smile at her, and the smile was very weird, making the scalp tingle, and opened his mouth to speak to Lu Xici, "Come with me." ”

Lu Xici frowned, and the sound that came into his ears stabbed his head very painfully, and the whole person was in a trance.

As he spoke, the skeleton picked up the bones that had fallen to the ground expressionlessly, and pressed them on his head.

Lu Xici was so frightened that she instinctively only wanted to retreat, but she didn't expect her to watch her body get up slowly uncontrollably, and her almost unconscious fingers slowly let go. Obediently followed the skeleton and walked up.

...............

After the meeting, it was already midday, and the person who went to deliver dinner suddenly ran over in a panic and said that Lu Xici was gone.

The people in the lobby had not completely dispersed, and after hearing this, they froze, and looked back in astonishment at the man who had come to report the news.

- What? Miss Lu is gone.

- Did she run away?

- Did you look everywhere?

- That Pei Yizheng is still not there.

- Pei Gongzi is still here, but only Miss Lu is gone

- I've looked for them all

- I've looked everywhere, but I haven't.

"I searched the town, and I found someone to find her. The color on the face of the hall master was not very good, and he said again with a kick. "Secretly, go for it. ”

To live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses.

Ren Yuanyi fell into deep thought. "You say, did she run on her own?"

- She didn't run when she grew feet herself, could there be others to help her run?

- The man who was sent to watch over her didn't see anything?

- I can't see the An'an points she usually performs.

- I said a long time ago, she is unusual.

The elder of the elder village smiled coldly, he should have discovered that Lu Xici was unusual, obviously it was uncultivateable, but he had a strong spiritual power that ordinary people did not have, and he didn't know how much blood had accumulated on her body, but Lu Xici didn't do anything at that time, he looked at her innocent appearance, and his heart softened for a moment, and he let her go for the time being, but now he thinks about it, but he is confused for a while. The voice was hoarse and terrifying, "When I find her, I will give full authority to the hall master." Elder Changxiang glanced at Ren Yuanyi meaningfully.

Ren Yuanyi hooked the corners of his mouth, but it was only faint.

.........

After Ren Yuanyi returned to the house, the eldest lady who came after hearing the wind finally came, and was waiting for him in the side room at this time.

The candlelight cast a dappled light and shadow on the low wall, and there were chaotic and noisy whispers around it, which swept through the ears in small pieces, Ren Yuanyi walked unhurriedly, lifted his eyelids, and glanced at Song Chengcheng in green clothes. Song Chengcheng's personality has always been flamboyant, and since he had a marriage contract with Ren Yuanyi, he has also restrained a lot.

Song Chengcheng's face was slightly cold, he looked at Ren Yuanyi with displeasure, and looked up arrogantly and glanced at Ren Yuanyi, "So far, you still want to protect her, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour you?"

Seeing that Ren Yuanyi didn't speak, Song Chengcheng hugged his chest and sneered, "As soon as Lu Xici came, this town was weird. I even suspect that you've been shielding her. ”

Ren Yuanyi also glanced at Song Chengcheng lightly and did not speak.

Song Chengcheng stomped his feet and pushed Ren Yuanyi. "Do you think I'm being vexatious? You say a good person, why does she have a fire hidden in her body, and what does this spirit beast have to do with her?"

Song Chengcheng saw him like this, and a wave of anger surged in his heart. "Didn't you let me say that I promised you, but now?!"

At the beginning, Song Chengcheng endured his temperament, came out of the courtyard of Luxi porcelain, and had doubts in his heart, and just wanted to report to the people of the Song family, but he didn't expect Ren Yuanyi, who had always been not close to him, to take the initiative to go back with her, but on the way back, he beat her, but promised her a lot of benefits, Song Chengcheng accepted it, and now that he thinks about it, he really believed Ren Yuanyi's nonsense.

"I don't have anything to do with her. Ren Yuanyi's eyes flashed with fire.

Ren Yuanyi really has nothing to do with Luxi porcelain, but there is just a very clichΓ© encounter.

That night seemed to be more intense than at any time of the year, the moonlight was covered by dark clouds, that night was perhaps the starlight blinded, Ren Yuanyi lay on the dark alley, and saw a person standing there, a face without blood, but the clear eyes reflected the autumn colors into the water.

Ren Yuanyi thought at that time, it was so late, when did anyone in this Changxiang town dare to act so boldly.

Thinking about it later, it was just a night of containment, and it really suffered.

...............

Zhang Er's illness was cured, and when he heard that Lu Xici was here in the Ren family, he came to the door with a blank eye.

Ren Yuanyi was busy looking for Lu Xi porcelain, and when he saw that it was an old acquaintance, he interrogated him. "What happened yesterday? What dreams did you have? ”

Zhang Er confessed, and directly said that he dreamed of two ghosts in these days when he was asleep.

The two men were ordered to pass through the township of Changxiang. Zhang Er dreamed that he was chatting with everyone at that time, but it rained in the sky, Zhang Er went to the street pavilion with his friends to hide from the rain, but he didn't expect two people to come in strange clothes, although he had not seen the dress, but it was like the tolerance described in the picture book.

Zhang Er's friend was very talkative and talked to those two people. The two told the truth that they were ghosts and had come to this neighborhood to deliver official documents. ”

When a friend asked, "What is written on the official document?" the ghost replied, the name and number of the person who was going to be killed.

Friends were surprised to ask how many.

The ghost replied: "I don't know. ”

A friend asked about the date of the catastrophe, but the ghost did not answer.

Zhang Er and his friends looked at each other in horror, afraid of this catastrophe, and asked left and right whether there were any names of the people in Changxiang Township on the official documents.

At this time, the rain stopped, and the two ghosts laughed and did not speak, leaving them with a back.

Zhang Er waited and waited in panic, waited for a day and a night in his dream, and died in terror.

Ren Yuanyi: "............"

Zhang Er's dream is even more outrageous, there is no basis, like a dream he had after reading through the painting book. A series where I was scared to death by myself.

Ren Yuanyi truthfully told Zhang Er that Lu Xi porcelain was gone, and Zhang Er was taken aback, "Could it be that the name on the official document has a copy of her Lu Xi porcelain, and he was taken away by those two people?"

As if it were true, Zhang Er became more and more panicked.

Ren Yuanyi looked at Zhang Er and glanced at Zhang Er with very caring eyes.

Then the two came to the place where Lu Xici used to live. Ren Yuanyi smelled the fragrance of flowers blowing from the yard from time to time in the house, walked back and forth twice, looking at some unusual paper people on several cases, how did he remember that there were no such things before, and picked them up with some curiosity.

Ren Yuanyi squatted down, flipped the paper man with his two fingertips, he didn't see anything unusual for a long time, he used a little force, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, those paper people turned into a pile of ash in his hand, Ren Yuanyi twisted his brows.

Zhang Er was a little unclear.

The second stunned followed Ren Yuanyi out of the house, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the distance between him and Ren Yuanyi would be widened, Zhang Er looked at Ren Yuanyi's back from afar, a little confused.

...............

In the dark dungeon, the sound of footsteps falling between walks echoes a little heavy, and if you listen closely, you can still hear the sound of chains rolling.

The two sides of the corridor were lit by torches, and in the faint light of the fire, half of what you saw in front of you was hidden in the light and half in the dark, and it was not too real to see.

At the end of the road, on the cold stone bench, three people sat facing each other, with various spiritual energy talismans wrapped around their feet, and some unknown algae vines were growing arbitrarily on the cold wall, and the branches and buds were spreading.

The tip of the nose is a rich aroma, but it is not the same as the floral fragrance outside, and the aroma lingers in this dark environment like a bit more deliberate.

The hall master Ren who was sitting on the edge had a few red lines wrapped around his fingertips, and he didn't care at all about the loud rumbling sound coming from the floor where he was stepping on, he frowned, "But what about the spirit beast?"

The man in the black robe who was sitting next to the hall master Ren laughed coldly when he heard this. "I've been fed so many things, it's been 30 years, and there's still no response. ”

Palm asked thoughtfully. "Have you tried the blood of those people who were caught?" The head of the Ren family always felt that the faint abnormality of the past few days might be an opportunity, if he could understand it thoroughly, he could crack the secret of the spirit beast.

Hall Master Ren hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "It's useless, the blood of those two people is no different from the blood of ordinary people. He sighed. "Master, you can imagine the worst-case scenario, if it has not been useful, will we just spend all our time on this? ”

How could it be useless? Lord Ren fell into deep thought, clearly feeling that there seemed to be a kind of bond between Miss Lu's body and the spirit beast in recent days, could he have guessed wrong?

Palm asked a pestle and frowned, could it be because there wasn't enough blood?

Or maybe it's because the spirit beasts have eaten too much in the past thirty years.

His hand on the stone case paused for a moment, if it really didn't work.........
