Chapter 12: Midnight Terror
In the back of the moonlight, Jian Ruochen showed half of his face, looking at the quiet courtyard, his eyes fell on the black gate of the courtyard, the gate was tightly closed, and the bolt of the door fell steadily on it, but the feeling of uneasiness was still getting stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he found the frost-like ground in the courtyard, and I don't know when there was a black shadow, the shadow was not very long dragged by the moonlight, and the head and arms and body could be seen, but the legs and feet could not be seen.
Jian Ruochen's heart was about to jump out, he couldn't help but hold his breath, only looked at the shadow on the ground, he didn't even dare to blink his eyes, the shadow didn't move for a while, and suddenly moved, approaching the room, Jian Ruochen held his breath, slowly moved his body back, and half of his face quickly moved into the shadow of the wall.
She couldn't see out the window, knowing that there was no way to protect herself in front of the monk, but at this moment she suddenly calmed down, and she crouched down silently and slowly, without making a sound from her clothes, until she completely disappeared into the shadows of the walls and floor, and then hugged her knees and buried her face in her knees.
There was no light in the field of vision, but the sense of hearing became more and more sensitive, and in the silence of the middle of the night, there seemed to be wind approaching the window, but it was obviously not the wind.
Jian Ruochen buried her face in her knees motionlessly, curled herself into a ball as much as possible, obviously she couldn't see anything, but she felt a line of sight fall into the room through the half-open window, and then, on her.
The hairs all over her body stood up one by one, her chest was cold, except for her heartbeat, which was completely empty, and the feeling of danger that she had never felt before hit her heartโno, there was such a time, but that time she did not feel that the danger was so close, so close.
Time stood still, only her heart was beating vigorously as if it was about to jump out of her chest, and her strong self-control still worked at this moment, even when she felt that danger was around her, she remained motionless.
She knew how helpless she was in the eyes of outsiders: a young lady who was inexplicably thrown into a strange world, forced to maintain her dignity without smiling in front of people, but when she was alone at night, fear and panic made all disguises disappear, and she could only shrink in a corner in fear.
The shadow that had crept on the wall gradually departed and moved to another room, where the moonlight fell through the half-open window, and on the bed in the room, a man lay quietly and unsuspectingly, breathing evenly and heavily, apparently asleep, with the quilt halfway over his waist and one hand on the outside of the quilt.
With the shadow leaving, the feeling of danger was far away, listening attentively, there was still no sound, Jian Ruochen quietly raised his head, hid in the shadow of the corner and slowly looked at the window, the half-open window revealed a black sky and bright stars, and then, a dark side face floated through the field of vision.
The creepy feeling disappeared suddenly, just as it came and disappeared so suddenly, Jian Ruochen slowly stood up in place, and once again moved half of his face out of the shadow of the wall, the courtyard was still quiet, and the moonlight was still like hoarfrost on the ground, if he didn't really feel the danger, everything before would have never happened.
"Squeak. The sound of the door opening was particularly clear in the silent night, Jian Ruochen's eyes fell on the door, and Luo Fan's extremely soft voice came from outside the door: "Miss Jane." โ
Jian Ruochen stepped forward silently, answered softly at the door, and then opened the door, Luo Fan stood at the door and stared at Jian Ruochen, and when he flashed in, he had already looked at everything in the room, and when he saw the neat bedding on the bed, he was stunned.
He walked into the window and gently closed the propped up window, the room suddenly darkened, and Luo Fan whispered, "See people outside?"
He wasn't sure what Jian Ruochen had found, but the bed didn't move, Jian Ruochen was neatly dressed and calm, obviously not asleep, so he asked.
"When I saw the side face, it disappeared in a flash, like a village chief. Jian Ruochen also replied in a low voice.
The two people in the darkness looked at each other, Sen Sen's coolness hit his heart again, and Luo Fan's voice also cooled down: "What is he going to do? You ...... tonight" In the dark, Luo Fan stared at Jian Ruochen, the closed window sash blocked the moonlight, he couldn't see Jian Ruochen's expression, but he heard Jian Ruochen's breathing pause.
"I'm trying Changchun Gong. Jian Ruochen didn't hide it.
"Inhaled into the body?" Luo Fan then asked.
"I don't know, but I suddenly feel the danger, and it's over. Jian Ruochen frowned and didn't ask rhetorically.
"You try again. โ
Jian Ruochen hesitated, walked back to the bed and sat down, thinking that it was difficult to calm down after what happened before, but after silently reciting the opening mantra of "Changchun Gong", he easily got rid of distracting thoughts, and felt that his body was completely relaxed in every breath he breathed, and with his breath, a little bit of breath that was different from the air also entered the body.
Jian Ruochen quickly compared Li Ruohan's cultivation experience in her memory, and was sure that she had achieved qi induction into her body, but she couldn't tell whether she was happy or worried, she didn't think about the feelings in her heart, ended her cultivation, and said to Luo Fan: "It should be." โ
Luo Fan nodded silently in the darkness and chuckled: "Congratulations, you have cultivated, and you have not been seen by the village chief." Intuitively, he thought that if the village chief saw their cultivation, he would not leave easily.
"No, what about you?" Jian Ruochen asked rhetorically.
"I did it. Luo Fan obviously thought that Jian Ruochen's question was about inducing qi into his body, and after answering, he fell silent.
"At dinner, the village chief inquired about our condition, and came back in the middle of the night to check on us, not because we were induced into the body, if I guessed correctly, after dawn, the village chief would have advised us to leave as soon as possible. After a while, Luo Fan said.
"He's going to attack us?" Jian Ruochen was slightly surprised, "What's the picture?" They have no long things, and they have no background, so it's useless to even be a hostage, but their hearts sink with Luo Fan's words, if they don't have a plan, why did the village chief come here in the middle of the night?
Luo Fan groaned for a while and said, "It's strange that there is nothing to do." He paused and said, "Do you have a ghost cultivator in your memory?"
"Devour the soul that has just left the body and strengthen your own soul?" Jian Ruochen said softly.
"We are strangers, no one is looking for us, and the most important thing is that we will disappear after leaving the village and will not be known. Luo Fan's voice was cold.
"And avoid the nun's gaze. Jian Ruochen added, "He came to check on us, just to finally determine whether we are monks or not?"
In the darkness, the eyes of the two people condensed together, and their hearts seemed to be surrounded by a cold chill again.
