Chapter 183: Shibagawa City 2
Aru awoke in her own flesh. When I woke up, I found myself lying flat. Slapping away the book covering his face, Ah Lu slowly propped himself up.
However, the dizziness did not relieve. On the contrary, it is more serious than when she was in Song Jiyue's body.
Dong Junqin was still reading, and when he saw the clothes next to him bulging, he asked, "How is it?"
Aru hummed, then propped his elbows on the table, hugging his throbbing head.
Dong Junqin's face was calm, but he was already anxious in his heart. Finally, the person came back, and there was only one huh?
It just so happened that the stacks of books were almost the same, and he finally couldn't help but put down the books and turned to Ah Lu. But when he turned his head to look, he immediately didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly supported Ah Lu, who was almost on the ground.
"Alu! Alu, what's wrong with you?" Dong Junqin asked as he took his pulse, "What happened just now?"
Ah Lu now only felt that there were villains in her head smashing her skull, drilling her flesh and blood, and the things in front of her slowly changed from one and a half to one and a half, and then to two.
Dong Junqin: "Where have you been?!Why do you have a curse in your body?"
With Dong Junqin's exertion, Ah Lu slowly recovered. Finally, the little man in his brain stopped, and Ah Luzhi got up and said, "What kind of prison did I go to, where are your father and them all locked up?" The prison was full of carvings. Maybe that's the reason for those engravings. ”
Speaking of this, Ah Lu suddenly remembered that after Song Fangcai Song Jiyue returned to his soul, there was nothing unbearable, only Ah Lu felt that something was wrong.
Dong Junqin: "According to what you said, those carvings should be used to suppress spiritual power." The higher the cultivation level and the stronger the spiritual power, the greater the impact of the engraving on people. Like their fathers, they are just ordinary people, and the engraving has little effect on them. Ji Yue's poor health will not be abnormal because of this...... But I really didn't expect that Chenyang would keep them in a tight prison...... I was careless, thinking that such a powerful place as the prison was at least for us and not for my father......"
Dong Junqin chattered while helping Ah Lu regulate his breathing, but Ah Lu didn't listen to the rest of the words. The sentence "Ji Yue's health is not good, so there will be no abnormality because of this" made Ah Lu feel very strange. The strange thing is not that Song Jiyue is not abnormal, but Gao Ting's sentence before Song Jiyue entered the secret prison, "You must come out in half an hour, otherwise you won't be able to go back."
Even Dong Junqin, an outsider, knows the setting of the secret prison, and Gao Ting, as a royal guard, will not know it. Could it be that sentence was not for Song Jiyue, but for Ah Lu?
But if Gao Ting knew that Ah Lu was in Song Jiyue's body, why would he help them go to the secret prison to visit them......?
Ah Lu: "Dong Junqin, let me ask you, Gao Ting's ......"
Just as Ah Lu was about to express the doubts in his heart, the door of the four libraries was also slammed.
At this moment, the ugly hour has just passed, so Lord Qin only went back at midnight yesterday, so he wouldn't have come back to be on duty so early, right? Who would be so early? Could it be that Ningxi sent someone to urge?
Dong Junqin put down the last book and wanted to get up to answer the door. Who knew that just now Ah Lu lay on his lap for too long, and his leg was numb, and the soles of his feet were like thousands of needles penetrating by thousands of needles and electricity, which provoked Dong Junqin to stand unstable for a while and kneel down directly.
Seeing this, Ah Lu hurriedly helped him sit down: "Okay, I'll go open the door, you keep sitting." ”
Dong Junqin: ......
Aru opened the door, and the guards outside somehow fell asleep. There were three people standing outside the door, all of whom were guards whom Alu did not know.
Especially the old man standing at the end, he was full of murderous aura, and his eyes were staring at Ah Lu like an eagle.
Alu: "Who are you?"
One said: "We are the one who brings breakfast to the two of us from the imperial dining room." ”
Alu: ...... It's too early!
Although Alu didn't believe it, the man behind him did come forward with a plate.
Ah Lu looked down and saw that the porridge and side dishes plus two buns were not bad.
Is it really a breakfast delivery? It can't be poisoned, right?
Just as Alu was taking the plate, she felt the man grasping the plate and not letting go. The two secretly tugged, and Ah Lu raised his eyes angrily.
The moment the four eyes met, Ah Lu instantly fell into the depths of the other party's eyes, like an abyss, she fell quickly, and countless souls around her flashed by, leaving only screaming laughter and chaotic words, chaotic and unintentional.
When Alu came back to his senses, the man was looking at him in surprise, and he was somehow stunned.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and the other two became impatient: "What are you doing?" Lord Xiao personally brought you food, and you still have a ......."
Is this Lord Xiao? Lord Xiao Jinxiao? Do you want to ask Dong Junqin to come out and have a look?
Ah Lu hesitated for a moment, but Xiao Jin let go at this time, and said, "Girl, let's go on the road as soon as possible after eating this little thing, the patience of adults is limited." ”
Get on the road as soon as possible...... Why is this so unpleasant?
However, smelling the aroma of rice soup, Ah Lu felt that he was indeed a little hungry. Forget it, don't get tangled with you lackeys.
So she took the plate and turned back to the four books.
Dong Junqin saw a plate of things, and his head sweated: "What is this? Supper?"
Ah Lu: "Breakfast delivered by Lord Xiao himself." ”
Dong Junqin: "Lord Xiao, Xiao Jin, why don't you call me?"
Hey, yes, didn't you think about asking Dong Junqin to come out and recognize people?
Ah Lu said embarrassedly: "I forgot for a while." ”
Dong Junqin looked at her suspiciously: "For a while...... Forgot?"
yes, I just forgot about it for a while. Although Ah Lu also wondered how he could forget, but forgetting is forgetting, and there was no way: "Or I'll go out and chase people back now!"
Without waiting for Dong Junqin to stop him, Ah Lu ran out, but as soon as the door opened, the ten guards at the door somehow all woke up, and they were even more energetic than yesterday. They all stopped Ah Lu and roared viciously, "I still want to run!"
Dong Junqin caught up with Ah Lu, immediately pulled her back into his arms, and said to those people with a cold face: "We have checked, and we will set off in two hours." I'm going to inform you, adults. ”
The guards laid down their weapons. After they discussed a few words, an immortal platform Taoist priest disappeared.
Dong Junqin pulled Ah Lu back to the house: "Are you stupid?"
Ah Lu hummed perfunctorily, wondering in her heart, could she have misremembered? When Xiao Jin came to deliver the meal just now, those people were obviously asleep. Why did you wake up in the blink of an eye? Could it be Xiao Jin's ghost? It could also be ......
persuaded himself to roar, Ah Lu no longer bothered with Xiao Jin. Pick up the bun on the table and stuff it into your mouth.
The two ate about the same, and Dong Jun asked while cleaning up: "So what's wrong with Gao Ting?"
Alyu: "Gao Ting, what, what happened to Gao Ting?"
Dong Junqin chuckled: "You asked me first, but I ran to deliver food before I asked." Alyu, are you tired? Rest for a while, there is still more than an hour to go. ”
Dong Junqin said while re-making the "bed" for Ah Lu, after Ah Lu lay down, he thought about it with Gao Ting, and finally remembered what he was going to say: "By the way, Miss Song lives in the Jade Concubine." ”
"Jade Concubine?" Dong Junqin nodded, "If it is in the palace, Ji Yue can indeed only live in the Jade Concubine Niangniang." ”
Ah Lu: "But that jade concubine, I suspect that she is Yumeng!"
Ah Lu truthfully told what Fang was just in, and Dong Junqin frowned and said nothing after hearing it.
Ah Lu: "Dong Junqin, what do you want to do?"
Dong Junqin closed the last book: "Set off as soon as possible." ”
Ah Lu was puzzled: "That Song girl ......"
Dong Junqin waved his hand: "Ji Yue can live in the inner courtyard of the harem, and her life will definitely be worry-free." I'm worried that if that Jade Concubine Niangniang is really Yumeng, then she will soon find out that Ji Yue's memory is problematic, and she will ...... when the time comes."
Alu: "Will the betrayal of Thorbe be exposed?"
Dong Junqin nodded: "Se Xiao rebelled, Ning Xi must have a move, and I believe that with Ning Xi's usual style of acting, I am afraid that the grass will be eradicated, and when the time comes...... There was another rain of blood in this palace. And my father, they and Ji Yue, will definitely not be able to escape. ”
Hearing this, Ah Lu felt that what Dong Junqin said was reasonable: "Then what are you waiting for, let's leave quickly!"
Dong Junqin originally wanted to give Ah Lu some time to recover, but Ah Lu himself was more anxious than anyone else. Dong Junqin looked at her and seemed to be fine, and hurriedly cleaned up the pile of books without re-checking.
When the guards outside the door saw them coming out early, their eyes were full of vigilance: "Isn't it two hours?
Dong Junqin: "If the route changes, it's better to go as soon as possible." ”
The guards did not retreat when they heard this, and still blocked in front of them, obviously guarding the two of them: "Young Master Dong, what is your route?"
Dong Junqin: "Xuanshan, Zhihe City, and then Fuhai." ”
The guards listened to the words and discussed with the Taoist priests behind them for a long time, and a Taoist priest stepped forward: "It does take a lot of time to go to three places. Young Master Dong, why don't we help you share some of it. ”
Dong Junqin chuckled: "Dao Chief, I'm afraid you can't share it." ”
Taoist priest: "Yo, do you still underestimate people?"
Dong Junqin: "It's not that I underestimate anyone, it's just that you adults asked us Miss Alu to come to find stones, but unfortunately there is only one Miss Alu, and she can only go to one place at a time." ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the Taoist priests were fixed on Ah Lu. If their eyes were a bow, she would have been riddled by now. However, they were not convinced, and they still opened the portal to send the two out of the palace and to the ...... The entrance of the heavy grass hall.
Dong Junqin and Ah Lu were all stunned when they saw the scene.
After a moment of silence, Ah Lu glanced at Dong Junqin, only to see him expressionlessly looking at his own home where weeds were reborn, the cracked lacquer door, the wall full of unbearable words, and the "Chongcaotang" plaque that had gone through three generations and had not been broken after no matter how much blood, rain and bloody wind had not been broken, and it was now broken into two sections, half-covered by the soil.
"Dong Junqin......" Ah Lu originally wanted to comfort, but Dong Junqin realized how powerless comfort was when he said three words. Ah Lu wanted to scold, scolding these people was too much! But this was more powerless than comfort, pondering for a long time, and finally only said, "We will definitely be able to find the stone, deal with Ningxi, and rescue Uncle Dong and them." When the time comes, I'll introduce you to a good place to farm. ”
When Dong Junqin heard this, he laughed out loud: "You want to plant yourself!"
Seeing that he finally let go of the corners of his mouth, Ah Lu continued to quipped along with this: "Okay, I planted it, and you are responsible for export?"
Dong Junqin turned his head sideways, looked at Ah Lu, and suddenly raised his hand to rub her head: "Give Ning Xi some face, he is not dead yet, you are thinking about the affairs of the male protagonist and the female protagonist?"
Besides, "He won't know that we're sharing the work here." ”
Dong Junqin listened, his eyes glanced to the right, and his lips hooked: "Ning Xi is everywhere, he will know." Let's go. ”
Ah Lu was furious by the phrase "omnipresent", but soon she understood what Dong Junqin meant: someone followed them.
So Ah Lu had no choice but to ask in his heart: "Then where do we go first?"
Dong Junqin: "Floating in the sea." ”
Ah Lu nodded: "Indeed, the floating sea is so big, it looks like a place to hide treasures." ”
Dong Junqin: "The stone is not there. ”
Alu: "Huh? That'...... Why did you go to the floating sea first?"
Dong Junqin: "Dumped a few people behind." ”
Ah Lu was puzzled: "What do you mean that the stone should be in Xuanshan or Zhihe City?"
Dong Junqin: "Xuanshan...... Because it's where you woke up, I wanted to see if there were any clues about your origins. As for the stones, I think they should be near Shibagawa Castle. ”
Saying this, Ah Lu was even more confused: "If you want to say that the stone didn't float away when it arrived at Xuan Mountain, I think it's more likely, after all, that place is also a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and water veins." But Zhihe City, we saw it last time, and only Huangfu Li's hometown in the entire Central Plains can be drier and more desolate than Zhihe City, right?"
Dong Junqin: "Xuanshan is indeed a good place for Zhong Lingyuxiu. But because of this, the stone will not stay in the mountain. Do you think about what has become of this place after the stone that was sealed away by Ningxi was floated to Wushan?"
Ah Lu was not convinced: "At that time, it was because there was Ningxi in that stone." Maybe this part of Xuanshan is a good place because I am in it. ”
Dong Junqin shook his head: "Don't dream, I've checked the gazetteer, Xuanshan was like this about five or six hundred years ago, and it has nothing to do with you and the stone." ”
"Okay......" Although Ah Lu can't dig some gold from Xuanshan and stick it to his face, Zhihe City ......
Dong Junqin: "I just read the gazetteer and the county record, which mentioned that Zhihe City was originally a place with plenty of water. Even if there are monsters, most of them are hidden in the water, just like the water monsters in the underground cave of Luotongguan. These water demons have water to cover, which is very difficult to catch, and the key is that they don't often make trouble, so there is no powerful Xuanmen stationed in the local area. Every time something happened, the government asked the soldiers in the barracks to help.
Until more than two hundred years ago, a water demon collective rampage broke out in Zhihe City, but at that time, this incident occurred in a sparsely populated area of Zhihe City, so this incident did not cause much chaos. And in the end, the army invited people from the Azure Realm to help.
However, a few years after the destruction of the water demons, the water veins of Zhihe City began to break one by one, and the little monsters who had no water to hide slowly crawled out of the ground and caused many accidents with the common people. This is also the reason why Zhihe City will be called a demon city later. “
Alu: "Then this is the same as the Stone...... Are you saying that the water demon went on rampage because of the Birth Stone?"
Dong Junqin nodded: "The life-making stone can attract souls, and with this alone, the water demon will be unconsciously attracted to Zhihe City." Moreover, the Shengsheng Stone is a divine stone, and if the divine stone is not controlled, or if it is damaged, the power in the stone will leak out. The monster cultivation is not enough to withstand the divine power, so it runs wild. And the rupture of the water vein, I guess it is also related to the stone. ”
Ryu: "What's the matter? This stone attracts not only youkai but also water?"
Dong Junqin: "I don't know, but there is a lake next to Zhihe City, according to records, the water level of this lake has risen sharply since more than 100 years ago. Don't look at the floating sea, it's big, it's deep, you can hide things inside. Sometimes inland lakes are as unfathomable. ”
Ah Lu hadn't studied this, but Dong Junqin said so, and she also believed it for the time being: "So, after all, the three places you just told them are not actually your real destination?"
Dong Junqin nodded: "Ah Lu, you have become smarter." ”
Allu laughed dryly, thinking: You have explained in such detail, if I don't understand it again, then I really deserve to be a remnant soul for the rest of my life.
