Chapter 45: The Chronicle of the Great Wilderness
"Ling Huayin, is there a problem with that cat?" asked Eluo on the way back.
"That cat has a demonic aura on it. ”
"Why don't you detain that disciple?"
The disciple didn't seem to be able to tell that it was demonic energy, unless he hid it too well. These days and nights have not been completely unfounded. At least it has been confirmed that there is indeed a demon in Xianze Palace, and now it depends on what kind of demon it is. ”
"But how can cats have demonic energy, and are they all so strange now?" said Oro.
Ling Huayin said: "That cat must have been in contact with someone, I cast a spell on that cat, see who it has been in contact with in the past few days, maybe you can find out the demon along the vine." ”
Elo smiled, "Sounds like you're going to check it yourself?"
"I just found some clues now, too many people know that it has made the demon wary, and when the time is ripe, I will inform the master. You've worked hard today, so rest early. Ling Huayin said that, and went back to the room.
Tonight seemed to be more tired than usual, Ling Huayin read a book by the bedside, and fell asleep in a daze. She actually had a nightmare, in the dream her wrist was hot and painful, when she opened her eyes, a black cat hung on the head of her bed, a pair of purple eyes stared straight at her, she was startled, and quickly sat up from the bed. The cat was also frightened, and with a "meow" scurryed to the ground, and ran away without a trace. Ling Huayin looked around and saw that it was dark and there was nothing. At this time, her wrist hurt again, and when she looked down, her wrist was bleeding, and she couldn't stop it, staining half of her sleeve red.
She thought it was strange, so she got up and walked forward, and when she looked back, she couldn't even find the bed she had slept in.
"Linghuayin......" A woman's voice called her name again.
This time she had to see who was calling her. Ling Huayin ignored the pain in her hand and walked forward quickly.
If the voice was gloomy and weird, Ling Huayin would still be a little scared, but that voice made Ling Huayin feel very kind, and she felt that there was nothing better in the world than this voice.
There was another golden light in front of me, which made people feel particularly curious in the dark space. Maybe it was the edge of the dream, but Ling Huayin suddenly hesitated.
"Girl, don't go over. A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Like last time, this person appeared again at this time. Although it is an inappropriate way to appear, Ling Huayin is not angry, but feels a lot more at ease. She turned to look, and saw Shadow standing behind her. Dressed in a black military uniform, he wore a golden mask on his face, covering his entire face tightly, and only the long hair behind him was slightly curled. When he arrived, it seemed to drive away the darkness.
"You?" this was the first time Ling Huayin had seen him appear.
"Come here. The shadow stood still, his voice faint, but intimidating.
Ling Huayin walked over without thinking about it, and walked up to Ei, who suddenly grabbed her arm and asked, "Why are you injured?"
"I was scratched by a cat, and I don't know why I didn't stop bleeding. ”
Shadow's palm brushed lightly over Ling Huayin's wound, and the bleeding immediately stopped, and the wound healed. However, Ying accidentally touched the remaining blood beads on Ling Huayin's arm, and his hand seemed to be burning, making a "zizi" sound.
Shadow looked at his palm absentmindedly, and saw a small red-hot mark appear on the palm.
"God's Blood ......"
Ling Huayin said worriedly: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, just a little blood. Just used the power of magic, and the blood on your body is a little resistant. Don't you dare to have a cat? How can you get scratched by a cat?"
Ling Huayin suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she froze a kitten to death because she couldn't control her spiritual power well, and cried and told Ying that she would never have a cat again. She smiled and said, "I didn't raise the cat myself. So she told Ying about tonight.
"So you used your own blood to cast a spell on that cat so that it could help you find that demon?" Shadow admired Ling Huayin's little plan, but immediately poured cold water on her, "It's okay for you to be clever enough to deal with little demons, but the other party is a first-class demon, don't be self-defeating." ”
Ling Huayin was about to go back, but Ying didn't know where to go.
"Hey, can you say hello before you leave next time?" Ling Huayin said into the air.
Seeing that there was no response, Ling Huayin glanced at the golden light behind her, but at the moment it was quiet, and there was nothing, as if those were all hallucinations just now. Ling Huayin was a little suspicious in her heart, why did Ying stop herself from approaching the golden light every time?
In the early morning of the second day, when Ling Huayin woke up, she found that her wrist scratched by the cat was completely fine, and only then did she confirm that last night's dream was true. Thinking that she could only see Shadow through feathers, she didn't expect to dream of him in a dream, and she was a little suspicious that the dream was not done unintentionally. But at present, it is also her own speculation, and there is no basis, so she simply put the matter aside for the time being.
Su Mu hadn't come back from morning class, and Eluo was sleeping in the gourd all day long, and at this moment there was only Yin Tao in the Qingluan Palace, so Ling Huayin took Yin Tao to the heavenly machine.
To her surprise, Situ Yan actually came to Xianze Palace.
"Why are you here?"
Situ Yan was still the same as before, with a smile like a breeze on his face, as if the last sad look he left her after the Great Wilderness Plot that day was an illusion. Maybe Situ Yan didn't realize her demon soul at all, everything was just her thinking too much.
Situ Yan smiled at Ling Huayin and said, "I got a new good spirit stone yesterday, and I will send it to the Heavenly Machine Dao Master today." ”
"So that's the case, has the sun, moon, and seven astrolabe been repaired?"
"It's been repaired, it's finally repaired!" I saw the Tianji Dao Chief walking briskly with a disc in his hand, his face happy.
The Heavenly Machine Daoist placed the Sun and Moon Seven Star Disk in the fixed position of the Heavenly Machine Pillar, and saw that the pointer on the disk rotated rapidly, and it never stopped. Ling Huayin and Situ Yan looked at each other, and the long face of the Heavenly Machine Dao was almost on the disc, and they kept muttering: "How can this be, how can this be, what is wrong?"
Ling Huayin pondered, "Could it be that something is wrong with the spirit stone?"
The Heavenly Machine Dao Chief said categorically: "Impossible, I have carefully checked every spirit stone, and there will be no problems." ”
Yin Tao also leaned over to look at it curiously, not knowing if it was because of the sudden change in the spiritual force field or what, the pointer on the seven-star disk gradually slowed down. The three of them were magical, and the pointer turned back and forth, and finally pointed in a direction.
It is pointing to the intao!
Everyone's eyes all looked at Yin Tao, Yin Tao broke out in a cold sweat, and hid in Ling Huayin's arms with a "chirp".
The pointer moved, and this time it was Situ Yan again.
Situ Yan still had a smile on his face, and while saying "It's not me", he elegantly withdrew from the place where the pointer was pointing.
"Master, so you're really here. Hearing only a call, Su Mu got out of the morning class, came over at this time, and happened to be standing where Situ Yan had stood.
Su Mu originally went back to Qingluan Hall directly after class, but on the way back, he saw Ling Huayin coming here, so he followed him. At this time, he saw Ling Huayin, Tianji Dao Chang, Yin Tao and Situ Yan looking at him with strange eyes, his steps were stagnant, and he didn't know why they looked at him like this, he only felt bad in his heart, and his smile froze on his face, and he suddenly saw the disc in front of him, and roughly understood what was going on, so he quickly moved his position to show his innocence.
The four of them and one pet all looked at the disc curiously, and saw that the pointer did not move at all, pointing to the location of Zhengde Palace, but there was more than one building in that direction, and it was really necessary to explain where it was pointing, and it could not be asserted for the time being. Ling Huayin took into account Situ Yan's presence, and did not mention the matter of demonic qi to the Heavenly Machine Dao Master, although the speculation of the shadow was groundless, it could not be completely disbelieved. If Situ Yan is really not the same person as before, then telling him too much may cause something wrong.
"Heavenly Machine, what did I ask you to ask?" Ling Huayin asked in front of everyone.
"I know that you have come to me for this purpose. That disciple is not good at musical instruments, if you want to know about that incident back then, I found you a book, and this list of disciples, you can look through it to see if there is a life of that disciple. I finally found it from Zhenshuge, take Xiao Mu's two-day part-time job for two books, and you will make a lot of money. ”
When Su Mu heard this, he said suspiciously: "Ah, what are you talking about, master?"
Ling Huayin pretended not to hear and ignored him, and went through the list of disciples.
Situ Yan saw that another book had the words "Great Wilderness Atlas" written on it, so he said, "Can you lend me this book?"
Ling Huayin nodded and said, "Naturally." ”
Ling Huayin really found the record of the disciple who was in charge of punishment in the list of disciples, and it was indeed a disciple under the seat of the precept elder, as the Heavenly Machine Daoist said, the disciple died in the Great Wilderness Diagram, and the cause of death is unknown. It seems that it is because of the precept elders, so there are only a few strokes on the cause of his death.
"That disciple is not good at music, how did you ask?" Ling Huayin was suddenly very curious about this.
The Heavenly Machine Daoist coughed twice and said proudly: "The Heavenly Opportunity must not be leaked." ”
Ling Huayin returned the list of disciples to the Taoist of Tianji, and said, "The list will be returned to you, and I will borrow the Great Wilderness Map first." ”
"I'm done. After a while, Situ Yan pushed the book in front of Ling Huayin.
Ling Huayin was a little surprised, "So fast?"
Situ Yan smiled and said: "I have the ability to read a book in ten lines, and it won't take a day to read a book, let alone a small illustrated book." ”
Su Mu listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but "sigh", as if he didn't like Situ Yan to talk big. Ling Huayin gave Su Mu a look, and Su Mu hugged Yin Tao to the side.
Situ Yan smiled indifferently, not taking it to heart at all.
"Linghua, you may have to see me a lot lately. Situ Yan squinted his eyes and smiled, seemingly very happy.
"Huh?" Ling Huayin was puzzled.
"Recently, the Heavenly Machine Daoist is developing a new mechanism technique, I am very interested, and I want to discuss one or two, so I moved the Yunmengtai to the Xianyun Peak of Zhonghuang Mountain. In the future, we will be neighbors again, Linghua should not be annoyed with me. ”
When Su Mu heard this, his face was not very good. Situ Yan's words sounded like he was interested in mechanical arts, and he obviously wanted to take this opportunity to meet Ling Huayin.
