Chapter 2: Dollhill

Dawn, dawn

A ray of sunlight shot in through the gap in the window, which was particularly dazzling, and Dugu Jianyu rubbed his eyes, looking a little tired. He stood up and walked to the bedside, where the child was awake, with no expression on his face and a pair of bright eyes looking at the roof.

"Are you awake?" Dugu Jianyu asked softly.

The child didn't seem to hear Dugu Jianyu speak to him, and remained there motionless.

"What's your name?" Dugu Jianyu asked again.

The child still does not speak.

"Are you hungry, do you want to eat something?" Dugu Jianyu continued to ask.

This time, the child glanced at Dugu Jianyu, and two words came out of his mouth: "Sister." ”

After that, no matter what Dugu Jianyu asked, he didn't say a word, and refused to say a word. Dugu Jianyu was helpless, and said in his heart: "Maybe he was too frightened last night, after all, he is still so young." ”

Dugu Jianyu walked out of the room and closed the door, feeling empty in his stomach, only to remember that he hadn't eaten anything last night, and he was really a little hungry. He came down from upstairs, and the shopkeeper was napping on the door frame of the back hall, and when he saw Dugu Jianyu coming downstairs, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "You weren't there when the guest officer delivered the meal to your room last night, so the little one was brought back." ”

Dugu Jianyu took out a small ingot of silver, put it in the shop, and said: "I'm hungry now, get me some food, and then serve me a bowl of gruel, there is a second brother Lao!"

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute," the shopkeeper took the silver and went to the back hall again.

Dugu Jianyu walked out of the inn, and the streets at this time changed from silent at night, all kinds of vendors carried their burdens and shuttled through the bustling crowd, and children frolicked and chased each other, like a lively scene.

When Dugu Jianyu went back, the shopkeeper had already prepared the meal, he found a corner in the lobby and ate for a while before going upstairs with porridge, and when he walked to the door, he found that there were people in the house, Dugu Jianyu subconsciously pushed the door open with his feet, but saw a girl in white sitting on the edge of the bed and saying something to the children on the bed, and saw Dugu Jianyu come in and looked at him with a stunned face.

The girl was dressed in a white dress like a light veil, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a bun and sideburns, a light sweep of her eyebrows and eyes, her skin was as delicate as a warm jade, and her two strands of hair on her cheeks were gently brushed with the wind, adding a bit of seductive style, and her eyes that turned flexibly were wise, a little naughty, a little naughty, so flawless, so beautiful that she did not eat the fireworks of the world.

Dugu Jianyu saw that it was Xuanyuan Suyu, her girl was so beautiful, she was not as beautiful as a mortal, Dugu Jianyu was a little obsessed.

"Don't you know me?" Xuanyuan Suyu said with a smile as she looked at Dugu Jianyu.

Dugu Jianyu came back to his senses, smiled a little overwhelmed, but also a little strange, and said in his heart: "When did this Xuanyuan girl come in?"

"Just now, I'll take a look at Xiao Zihe. Xuanyuan Suyu looked at the child lying on the bed and said apologetically.

"How does the girl know what I think in my heart?" Dugu Jianyu couldn't help but ask strangely.

"I guessed, I didn't want to be right. Xuanyuan Suyu said.

Dugu Jianyu saw that this Xuanyuan girl was not only beautiful, but also different from ordinary people, so he stopped asking.

Xuanyuan smiled and didn't speak.

"Miss Xuanyuan knows this child?" Dugu Jianyu asked.

Xuanyuan Suyu nodded and said: "My family has strict rules, and outsiders are generally not allowed to enter, so I didn't explain it to you last night, I hope you will forgive me." ”

"Girl, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person like those people?" Dugu Jianyu asked.

"If you were a bad person, you wouldn't have saved him last night, and you wouldn't have saved me, I know you're not!" Xuanyuan Suyu said and looked at the bowl in Dugu Jianyu's hand and asked, "What is it in your hand?"

"As much as I tried to talk to the girl, I forgot, this kid didn't eat last night, presumably because he was hungry, and he didn't pay attention to me, but fortunately Miss Xuanyuan came. "Dugu Jianyu is like finding a savior.

Xuanyuan Suyu took the porridge from Dugu Jianyu's hand, turned around and said to the child: "Zihe, come and eat something." ”

This kid named Zihe finally had a trace of expression on his face after seeing Xuanyuan Suyu, thinking that he regarded Dugu Jianyu as a bad person. He looked at Xuanyuan Suyu and nodded, sat up from the bed, Xuanyuan Suyu was about to feed him spoonful by spoonful, but he took the bowl from Xuanyuan Suyi's hand, held the bowl and drank it directly. It didn't take long to finish drinking.

"Do you want more?" asked Xuanyuan Suyu distressedly as she took the bowl in his hand.

Zihe shook his head, then grabbed Xuanyuan Suyu's hand and said, "Sister, teach me martial arts, I want to avenge my whole family." ”

"This sister can't teach you, you have to let this big brother teach you. Xuanyuan Suyu said.

Zihe looked at Dugu Jianyu and asked cautiously, "Is it okay for big brother?"

"Yes, but you need to take care of yourself now. Dugu Jianyu said

"Hmm!" Zihe replied.

"You have a good rest now, I have something to go out now, remember that whoever knocks on the door should not open it, do you know?" Dugu Jianyu admonished.

Zihe nodded, looking well-behaved and pitiful.

"Miss Xuanyuan, there's something I want you to help me with. Dugu Jianyu said.

"What's the matter?" said Regulus.

"The girl took a step to speak!" Dugu Jianyu deliberately wanted to avoid Zihe.

Xuanyuan Suyu took out something from his sleeve and secretly stuffed it into Zihe's hand, muttered a few words in his ear, and went out with Dugu Jianyu.

"Does Miss Xuanyuan know about Doll Villa?" asked Dugu Jianyu.

"What's wrong with Dollhill?" asked Regulus.

"I want to ask how to get to Doll Hills?" Dugu Jianyu explained.

Xuanyuan Suyu lowered her head and did not speak. Dugu Jianyu saw that Xuanyuan Suyu seemed to have something unspeakable, and he didn't want to be embarrassed, so he said: "If Miss Xuanyuan is inconvenient to speak, forget it, I can ask others about it." ”

Xuanyuan Suyu knew that Dugu Jianyu couldn't find out the results from others, but the rules of Doll Mountain Villa had always been strict, and she was a little embarrassed.

However, she saw that this Dugu Jianyu was not a bad person, and he had saved her life, so she couldn't care so much.

"What are you looking for in Dollhill?" asked Regulus.

"Miss Xuanyuan, this matter is really inconvenient to explain, I hope the girl will forgive me. ”

"I can tell you, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone that I told you about it, and you can't tell anyone about Doll's Heights. Xuanyuan Suyu asked first.

"Since Miss Xuanyuan promised to help me, how can I make trouble for Miss Xuanyuan again?" Dugu Jianyu said sincerely.

"Doll Mountain Villa is the residence of the descendants of the Xuanyuan clan in ancient times, and there is a powerful crystal hidden enchantment outside to protect it, and the power of the enchantment comes from inside the village, so ordinary people can't find the entrance. I can help you. Xuanyuan Suyu said.

Dugu Jianyu was overjoyed, Xuanyuan Suyu was willing to help him, he was already very grateful, the Doll Mountain Villa was so mysterious, even if he had great ability, it would take some time.

"Stretch out your hand. Xuanyuan said.

Dugu Jianyu stretched out his hand, Xuanyuan Suyu bit his ring finger, and then dripped a drop of blood on the inside of Dugu Jianyu's left wrist, and the red blood instantly soaked into Dugu Jianyu's skin. It forms a red dot that looks like a mole.

"Miss Xuanyuan, your hand?" Dugu Jianyu asked with concern. After all, he's in his own business.

"It's fine!" Xuanyuan Suyu rubbed her ring finger with her thumb. Dugu Jianyu was not at ease, so he tore off a piece of cloth from his inner clothes and wrapped Xuanyuan Suyu in his hands.

"Thank you, Brother Jianyu. Xuanyuan said.

For the first time in his life, someone called him like this, and Dugu Jianyu actually looked a little shy.

"You're welcome, you're here to help me, too. Dugu Jianyu said.

Xuanyuan Suyu smiled slightly, her bright eyes were bright, and although the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were childish, they were also cute.

"My blood will lead you to the entrance of the Dollhill, noon is the weakest time of the Crystal Hidden Enchantment, this blood will allow you to pass through the enchantment without hindrance, there is an old man guarding the gate at the gate of the villa, his temper is not very good, you must not provoke him, you are kind to ask for words and maybe he will take you in." Xuanyuan Suyu thought for a while and said, "You bring the good daughter red on the altar, maybe you can use it when the time comes." ”

Although Dugu Jianyu didn't understand Xuanyuan Suyu's intentions, he probably knew that Zhuang Shang must have a person who was addicted to alcohol.

"Brother Jianyu still has to think about where to go for Zihe, I don't have the ability to protect him, those people will definitely look for him, I can't let him die in vain. Xuanyuan Suyu pleaded.

"Miss Xuanyuan don't worry, since I promised him to teach him kung fu, I naturally thought of a place for him to go. I'll take him back when I'm done. Dugu Jianyu said.

"Brother Jianyu called me Su Yu, and then called the girl to give birth. Xuanyuan Suyu said with a smile.

"In this case, I will go to my business first, and Zihe's child will help me take care of it first, and then thank me in person when I am done. Dugu Jianyu said.

Xuanyuan Suyu readily agreed.

Dugu Jianyu and Xuanyuan Suyu said goodbye and went straight out of the inn, went to a tavern according to Xuanyuan Suyu, and bought a good daughter red on the altar. As Xuanyuan Suyu said, there seemed to be a magic in her blood that took him to the south of the town. Dugu Jianyu knew that this Xuanyuan Suyu was probably a person from Doll Villa. It's strange to say that since it's not easy to talk to the outside world, why is she vaguely revealing to herself that she is a person from Dollhill.

"Maybe it's really thinking too much. Dugu Jianyu muttered to himself.

Dugu Jianyu walked to an empty hillside, only to see the greenery all over the field, paved with greenery, only to feel that the eyes were full of green, cool and calm. Dugu Jianyu looked up at the sun in the sky, and saw that it was still very early at noon, so he lay on the lawn and closed his eyes to recuperate, and he couldn't sleep in a daze.

When Dugu Jianyu woke up, it was almost noon, thinking that this was bad, he missed the hour, and he was afraid that he would not be able to cross the enchantment, so he hurried away. In fact, Dugu Jianyu knew that it was Xuanyuan Suyu who woke up at this time, and it was Xuanyuan Suyu who used the blood on his wrist to wake him up. It's just that he doesn't know it.

In front of the green space are mountains and ancient trees, full of verdant, mountain paths, the road is a little rugged, but Dugu Jianyu is not half struggling, only feeling that his eyes are covered with a light veil, and his feet move forward involuntarily, but his consciousness is sober. It's not so much the road as the gap between the ancient trees, and the previous ruggedness is slowly becoming smoother. Suddenly, there was a white expanse in front of him, Dugu Jianyu suddenly felt that his eyes were stabbed, as if something instantly surrounded him, and he opened his eyes faintly, he was actually in a piece of white, like fog, like gas, and like ice that was about to melt, but he couldn't touch it when he stretched out his hand, and Dugu Jianyu walked forward without hindrance.

"This may be the crystal hidden enchantment mentioned by Su Yu, although I have been prepared for a long time, I don't know that it is such a scene. If there is no obstacle, I just want to go forward. ”

Dugu Jianyu felt that his wrist was slightly hot, he stretched out his hand, only to feel that the red point became more and more conspicuous, and the white qi around him began to slowly dissipate, and the surroundings began to become clear. In front of him was a path three feet wide, and both sides of the path were covered with all kinds of strange flowers and plants, many of which Dugu Jianyu had never seen.

At the entrance of the trail, there is a stone beast that looks like a turtle and has teeth, Dugu Jianyu has heard the master say: the dragon gives birth to nine sons, does not become a dragon, each has its own good, a swagger, shaped like a turtle, good load, this is about one of the nine sons of the dragon. There is a stone tablet more than five feet high on the back of the stone beast, and there are four vermilion characters engraved on the stone tablet, and Dugu Jianyu can vaguely identify it as "Doll Mountain Villa". The lower right corner of the stele is also densely engraved with countless small characters, Dugu Jianyu has never seen this font, and he doesn't recognize it.

Walking hundreds of steps from the trail, there is a sparkling, crystal clear stream, above the stream is an old stone bridge, the stone bridge is carved with all kinds of patterns, Dugu Jianyu is only big enough to recognize the pattern of the unicorn and the dragon, and the others are unknown.

After crossing the bridge, a few steps is a crystal wall about a foot high, and the middle of the bridge is facing two gates that are tightly closed, and the walls on both sides wind out infinitely without end. There are two huge unicorns standing on both sides of the door, just as Xuanyuan Suyu said that there is a white-bearded old man sitting in front of the door, and it is not until the eyes of him that he can see clearly, the old man has a thin face, a dark complexion, and a pair of bright eyes under the faint white eyebrows. He was dressed in a white robe with a black jade pendant tied around his waist.

The old man was a little surprised when he saw Dugu Jianyu at first, and then showed a calm expression, "Young man, give me the wine and I'll let you in." ”

Dugu Jianyu didn't want it to be so easy, and was about to give him the wine jar in his hand, but he heard a voice in his ear, "Don't give it to him, he is playing with you, you let him take you to meet the person you are looking for, if he promises you to give it again." ”

"Senior, this wine can't be given to you. Dugu Jianyu's hand that was about to reach out retracted.

"Young man, that's not good. The white-bearded old man was slightly angry, and his face immediately sank. But from time to time, he stared at the wine jar in Dugu Jianyu's hand and swallowed his saliva.

"Senior, if you can take me to the owner, I will serve this wine with both hands. Dugu Jianyu saw that this white-bearded old man was really good at wine.

"Let me think about it," the white-bearded old man looked at the wine jar in Dugu Jianyu's hand and asked, "How many years?"

"Fifty years. ”

"It must be that girl's idea for you, okay, I'll promise you. Come with me!" said the old man, opening the door, and called softly, "Little stone."

I saw a boy in his teens coming in response, his hair tied up like a pair of horn-like buns, his body was as thin as wood, he was dressed in a coarse linen cloth, and said without any expression: "Master, what do you command?"

"Take this boy to the owner. The white-bearded old man commanded.

"Yes, Master. Xiao Shi said to Dugu Jianyu again: "Childe, please come with me." ”

Dugu Jianyu immediately gave the wine jar in his hand to the white-bearded old man and thanked him: "Thank you, senior." ”

The white-bearded old man waved his hand "Go"

Dugu Jianyu entered the gate with the small stone: here is completely different from the scene outside, there is no imaginary huge courtyard, only a white and crystal water promenade made of beautiful jade stretches into the distance, there is a top, the railing of the corridor is carved with different forms of water-like patterns, mostly ancient beasts, green dragons, white tigers, vermilion birds, unicorns...... There are many lotus flowers blooming on the water, and there is a kind of blue lotus that has never been seen before. The water in the pond is crystal clear, and fish and shrimp swim freely.

The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, and although it is summer, there is still a slight coolness. Refreshing, pure, bright, like a fairyland.

Dugu Jianyu followed the small stone to the end of the corridor.
