When the crescent moon is in the sky, I often think about leaving people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Chisawa sat on the windowsill and counted the horizontal lines carved into the lattice.
After each passing day, Chisawa would carve a mark on the window lattice, and twenty-three of them had been carved so far.
Chisawa no longer has a family, and Mo Xuan is the only person Chisawa can care about.
Every time Qian Ze woke up from a dream, he hoped to open his eyes and see Mo Xuan huddled around him, but after waking up, he thought about it.
Rong Cheng's family is in danger, and she is empty-handed, what can she do to protect her.
In recent days, Qian Ze's hands and feet are often cold, and sometimes he will be hot, thinking that the ice chalcedony and purple fire have not completely fused in the body.
After the Purple Fire Tribulation, Qian Ze found that the spider's pointed feet that he had conjured from his legs had grown red markings one after another, although he didn't find any special functions, at least he looked much more domineering than before.
Rong Cheng Piaoxue allowed Qianze to go out, but Qianze never went out once, Tiangong Pavilion was in Yueling, Qianze was afraid of seeing Mo Xuan, she couldn't explain, and she was afraid of breaking her heart.
It's been almost a month, and Qian Ze sits in this house every day, because he has nothing to do, and he has long been familiar with the mantra of Ning Dusk Rumor over and over again, and because of his dedication to cultivation these days, Qian Ze's control of purple fire has grown.
With a flick of his fingers, a cluster of purple fire jumped out of his fingertips, lit the candlestick, and Chisawa blew lightly, the purple flame on his fingertips went out, and Chisawa sat back in front of the bookcase.
Every day, Rong Cheng Piaoxue will bring some strange-shaped bugs, and all Qian Ze has to do is to record the information carried by these bugs and hand it over to Rong Cheng Piaoxue.
These bugs vary in species, but most are still the black, hard-shelled beetles.
The beetle's sharp beak teeth can tear off a piece of meat, but because Qianze has been with poisonous insects for a long time when he was in Gu Lin Yuan, he has the breath of insects on his body, and the beetle has never bitten Qianze.
Chisawa gradually discovered that there were still some rules in the language of these bugs, although he could only get some broken information, but gradually piecing it together, he could piece together something complete.
All the bugs seem to come from the same place, and that place is very closed, almost completely closed, so to speak.
Chisawa sorted out a few words, in addition to the fire, softness, and food that she had obtained at the beginning, there were also a few words that appeared very frequently, branches, salt, and fox.
Based on the descriptions of these bugs, Chisawa understands that their habitat is damp and cramped, and that there are several bugs that are poisonous.
Listening to Rong Cheng's words, this place is in Qi Town, and Qian Ze can almost guess the location of this place based on the language of the insects.
"It seems that Rong Chengjia is investigating such a place, and there are such evil insects in it. Chisawa lay on the bed and thought about it.
With a large number of people like Rong Chengjia, there is only one possibility, that is, they relied on the fact that there were more people to enter, and as a result, they suffered a big loss, and in the end they could only explore carefully.
"The Rong family, who is already rich enough to rival the country, why do they take such a big risk to explore such a dangerous place?" Chisawa couldn't figure it out, what attracted them there must not be money, it could be something else important.
Being important to Rong Chengjia means being important to Prince Jun, which means that there is a threat to Ye Xi.
Qian Ze pondered whether it would be more cost-effective to take refuge in Prince Jun, but after thinking about it, three of the seventeen immortals who were extradited died because of themselves, and Ye Jun had a lot of eyeliner, so it was impossible not to know such a major event.
Ye Jun must not be able to tolerate Qianze, and if he provokes Ye Xian again, Qianze doesn't have to mix in Yingzhou.
"Maybe they're checking this place, I can go and see it first..."
"No... I've been translating for twenty-three days, and I've got a lot of clues. ā
It stands to reason that Rong Cheng Piaoxue should let Chisawa keep it secret, or silence it, or find a way to erase Chizawa's memory.
But Rong Cheng Piaoxue didn't make any requests for this matter, as if he didn't care at all.
"Could it be... Are they trying to lure me to that place?"
There is more than one person in Yingzhou who understands the language of insects, and there is only one person who can transform into a spider and act like an insect without being actively attacked by insects.
"Hmph..."Chisawa thought for a moment, and suddenly the corners of his mouth lifted, "Let's see who is using whom this time..."
For the first time in a month, Qianze asked Rong Cheng Piaoxue to go out on the grounds of boredom.
On the streets of Yueling City, many passers-by turned their heads and looked at the handsome boy who was walking on the street in a hurry with a smile.
It's not because of how dashing Chisawa looks, but because behind Chizawa, six or seven small puppets with their heads only up to Chisawa's waist follow Chisawa step by step.
Chisawa felt how stupid he was to be, just like his father took the children out to buy groceries.
Suddenly, Chisawa bumped into a teenager who was walking with his head down, and the boy apologized and hurriedly bowed his head and ran away.
Qian Ze suddenly felt that something was missing from his body, and when he reached out and touched it, the money bag tied around his waist was gone.
Qian Ze looked at the young man who had not gone far, laughed evilly, stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and said to the little puppet behind him, "Babies, get on." ā
The little puppets made a rattle noise, suddenly showed exactly the same sinister expression, turned around stiffly, raised their arms and ran over, and six or seven little puppets surrounded the boy who stole the money bag.
Without the slightest concern, it was a fat beating.
These little puppets were made of white copper, fine iron, and oak, and they made a ping pong sound, and the boy who beat him cried and shouted to his mother to kneel and beg for mercy.
"Son's anger, anger, the small is forced by life to do these things of stealing chickens and dogs, you let me go, and I will repay the favor in the Southern Dynasty in Japan!"
Nanchao was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, begging for mercy with a handful of snot and tears, and inadvertently looked up, hey, this is not anyone's little one!
"Brother Qianze, it's me, Nanchao, you don't know me anymore?"
"You're the one who hits. Qian Ze took the money bag in Nanchao's hand, blew the ashes, and hung it on his waist.
Nan Chao suddenly stood up, hugged Qian Ze's arm, and said with a flattering face, "Brother is developed, look at the material of this clothes, the best embroidery girl in Yueling City can embroider it, tell me quickly, what kind of high branches to climb, help the brothers..."
Indeed, Rong Cheng's family is rich and capricious, and the best clothes are prepared for a person like Qianze who is under house arrest.
"Hurry up and leave while I don't hit you. Chisawa struggled to pull Nanchao off his arm.
"Tsk, you are really not authentic, you must have been hooked by a rich girl, pity your little beauty, crying and running to Penglai. ā
"Did you see her? What Penglai?" Chisawa suddenly became nervous, his eyes widened, and he grabbed Nanchao's shoulders with both hands.
"I saw it, she walked towards Penglai, I don't know what kind of illness she had, that little face was pale, I think she was about to die. ā
"What?!" Chisawa frowned in surprise as if she was about to eat someone.
