Chapter Fifty-Six: Lurking Night Walk
Yun Xuan crossed his feet, clasped his hands in his chest, and slept soundly.
Qing Li walked to Yun Xuan, leaned down and carefully looked at Yun Xuan's clear face, these days of rushing during the day made Yun Xuan look a little darker, and his straight eyebrows appeared more intense, a little more manly.
Yun Xuan was already in a dream, he was watching Qingli fall on the lotus leaves on the lotus pond outside the lotus viewing small building to pick lotus morning dew, the scenery was poetic and picturesque, Yun Xuan was immersed in it.
Qing Li looked at Yun Xuan for a while, felt satisfied, smiled charmingly, and called softly: "Brother Yun Xuan." ”
"Hmm. Yun Xuan answered, and Qing Li in his dream was looking at him.
Qing Li called again: "Brother Yunxuan." ”
Yun Xuan still answered and didn't wake up.
Qing Li's eyes rolled, and he stretched out his hand and pinched Yun Xuan's nose with his bare hand.
Yun Xuan suddenly felt that his nose was breathless, and he shook his head, but he still couldn't breathe, so he shook it violently, and on the side of his body, he tumbled down the roof ridge and rolled to the tile.
He woke up at this time, glanced at his eyes, and saw Qing Li standing next to him with a smile, chuckling and saying, "Qing Li, have you finished picking dew?"
"What kind of dew are you picking?" asked Qingli curiously.
"Didn't you pick dew in the lotus pond just now?" Yun Xuan said and stood up, looked around, and it was all tiles: "Hey, where is the lotus pond?"
"How can there be a lotus pond, you must have dreamed just now?" Qingli said, rejoicing in his heart, this guy dreams of himself.
"Dreaming?" he pinched his arm, the sensation of pain.
"So I'm awake now, are you real?" he grabbed Qingli's two hands, fluttering, but he could indeed touch them.
"It's true, you're finally out!" Yun Xuan said happily.
Qing Li felt the gentleness in Yun Xuan's hand, his face was slightly red, and he nodded: "Hmm." ”
"Great, you haven't come out before, I'm so worried about you?" Yun Xuan said.
Qing Li heard Yun Xuan say that he was worried about her, and his heart was moved, and he said, "After coming out of the formation outside the Guanhe Xiaozhu, my soul power consumption was too great, and I fell asleep. ”
"So, you're back now?" Yun Xuan asked.
Qingli nodded, then shook her head again.
Yun Xuan looked at Qing Li suspiciously.
Qing Li saw Yun Xuan staring at him suspiciously, and said, "I used your body to absorb the spiritual power in the moonlight and turn it into soul power when you were asleep just now, but now I am only awake and can get out of the lotus body, and I haven't recovered yet." ”
"That's right. Yun Xuan scratched his head: "It's easy, in the future, I will go out to sleep outside every night to bask in the moonlight, and you can recover quickly." ”
Qing Li covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother Yunxuan, I am awake now, my soul can go out to absorb the spiritual power in the moonlight, and I don't need you to bask in the moonlight every night?"
"Oh. Yun Xuan grinned.
"Are your injuries healed?" asked Qingli with concern.
"Okay, the muscle-building jade dew you gave has a good effect, and I have recovered a few days ago. Yun Xuan patted his arm and said.
The two chatted for a while, Qing Li was suspended next to Yun Xuan, absorbing the moonlight, and the moonlight around him condensed into free points of light, gathering into a spiritual power light band and floating towards Qing Li.
Yun Xuan lay on the ridge of the roof and looked at Qing Li quietly, for fear of making a little noise and destroying the beautiful scenery in front of him.
The moonlight is hazy, the ribbons are swirling, the breeze is gently blowing the neon clothes, the waist is delicate, and the face is flawless, like a goddess.
Suddenly, Qingli withdrew from the light belt, the free light points dissipated, and she floated down, whispering, "Someone, and it's strong!"
Qingli looked at the backyard of the inn. Yun Xuan turned over and looked at Qing Li's gaze, and a black figure suddenly appeared from the direction of the inn and went to the backyard.
Qing Li pulled Yun Xuan to hide on the other side of the ridge, revealing only his eyes and half of his head, looking at the person who was strung out.
In the dim moonlit night, the figure came to the backyard, and the figure ran quickly, jumped lightly without a sound, went up to the courtyard wall, paused, and turned his head to look around.
Yun Xuan saw clearly that the black figure was a masked man dressed in black at this time, and when he saw the masked man turning his head to their side, Yun Xuan and Qing Li quickly lowered their heads, and when their two heads touched, Qing Li glared at Yun Xuan.
Seeing that there was no one around, the black figure jumped lightly onto the roof of the opposite street, heading towards the west, as if his feet were not touching the tiles, and drifted to a roof with every step.
Yun Xuan poked his head out and looked at the mysterious person who was quickly moving away, this person drifted too fast, leaving a string of vague shadows behind him, Yun Xuan felt that he couldn't compare even if he was several times faster.
"Let's go over and see. "Qingli's eyes sparkled in the moonlight.
"It's too fast to keep up. Yun Xuan looked at the shadow that was getting farther and farther away.
"I have a way, come with me. Qing Li said and jumped forward, without making a sound.
By this time, the black figure on the roof in the distance had reached the outside of the town and disappeared.
Yun Xuan followed Qing Li and ran lightly on the tile surface.
Qing Li came to the roof of a street, put her finger in her lips and made a shhh, she pointed down, Yun Xuan came to her side, and looked below, there were several patrolling soldiers, and there were soldiers standing guard with halberds.
Yun Xuan was a little nervous in his heart, he still climbed over the roof for the first time and sneaked around in the night.
Qing Li pointed to another place, and the two fingers were alternately disturbed, and Yun Xuan understood that it meant to go to another place.
He followed Qing Li, narrowly evaded several patrols, and went out to the west of the town, where the figure probably disappeared.
"What should I do, it's gone?" Yun Xuan looked at Qing Li.
"Look at me. Qing Li said with a smile, a slight green light appeared in his hand, and the subtle green light hovered in the air for a while, pausing in the air.
"Found it!" Qingli said.
Yun Xuan was amazed, and saw Qing Li shoot out another little green light into the green light floating in the air, and the green light continued to fly towards the west like a firefly.
Qing Li and Yun Xuan followed behind the green fluorescence.
"What kind of spell is this?" Yun Xuan asked as he trotted.
"This is a thaumaturgy for souls to track the breath of living beings, which I obtained near Fallen Leaf City before. As long as the spiritual aura left by the soul or body of the tracked creature does not dissipate on the road, it can be traced with this soul light. Qingli replied as she trotted.
She turned her head and looked at Yun Xuan with beautiful eyes: "When your soul reaches the Heavenly Soul Realm, I will teach you to cultivate." ”
"Hmm. Yun Xuan was happy in his heart.
The green light reached a sparse wood, continued on, and suddenly turned north.
The two followed for a while, and the green light turned to the east again.
"This man is cunning, and he goes around and around. Qingli said.
"It's very cautious, and I guess it's very secretive. Yun Xuan said.
After a while, the green light gradually brightened.
Qing Li dispelled the green light, "It's right ahead." She whispered.
Yun Xuan looked forward, through the gaps in the branches and leaves in front of him, and the lights were dim in front of him.
The two of them gradually walked out of the woods and came to a stop in a small bush.
In the distance in front was a large compound with torches lit on the wall, and soldiers with bows and swords stood guard on the wall and on the ground outside the wall, and two groups of soldiers patrolling outside the wall with torches, which seemed to be very well guarded.
"Inside?" Yun Xuan asked.
Qing Li shook his head and pointed to one place, Yun Xuan looked over, there was only a dark shadow, and he didn't find anything.
Yun Xuan knew that his night vision ability and sensing ability were much lower than Qing Li's, and Qing Li could see things secretly, but he couldn't do it.
He watched the darkness in silence.
The patrol team traveled far away.
In the darkness, a dark shadow leaped up, leaping over the wall like a phantom and into the courtyard.
The man standing guard on the wall seemed to feel unusual, turned his head to look into the air where the phantom passed, saw nothing, and continued to stand guard.
At this time, in a room in the courtyard, an old man was meditating, and suddenly as if he had a sense, he woke up, got up and walked out of the door.
In another room in the courtyard, the flames of several oil lamps burned quietly, illuminating the light veils, carpets and panes of the windows.
Two women were whispering in front of the desk, one of them was dressed in green clothes, Jian Pu's hair rings were tied at the sides, his eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were condensed, his face was slightly yellow and white, his lips were full, and his chin was round.
The other is petite, wearing a yellow openwork palace robe, barefoot, with little toes as smooth as topaz, a red jade fine bead phoenix hairpin inserted in her hair, her hair draped behind her neck, her eyebrows are like a new moonrise, her pretty face is ruddy and white, and her small mouth is lightly pursed, she is a young girl.
The girl grabbed another woman's hand and shook it, and said coquettishly, "Sister Tingfang, can you tell the elder Ge that we will leave two days later." ”
