bad

Xu Boyuan's body seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, colder than the top of Buzhou Mountain, Xu Jingluan shrank her neck and followed.

Ying Zhou stood on the spot and watched them join the few people walking in front, Xu Boyuan pointed to the carriage, Xu Jingluan slumped her shoulders with a look of lovelessness.

At this moment, the black-clothed man who had been detained before suddenly raised his head, with a very ferocious expression on his face.His cheeks were puffed up and retracted, as if he was holding something, he spat it out towards Xu Boyuan's direction, and through the faint reflection of the moonlight, Ying Zhou saw that it was a tiny needle!

"careful!"

There was already a distance of ten steps between him and the crowd, and he only had time to yell this, when Xu Boyuan didn't turn his head back, his arm by his side shook with every move, the sword came out of its sheath, and there was a crisp "ding" sound, and the needle tip hit the ground. on the sword.

Xu Boyuan said coldly: "You don't need to be in such a hurry to seek death."

Hearing this, the man in black actually laughed. The smile was so weird that the corners of his mouth almost reached the earlobe, but his eyes were slightly curved, looking straight at Xu Boyuan with a terrifying expression.The strong evil energy suddenly dispersed from his body, gathered into a black air, soared into the air, and went towards Xu Boyuan!

Ying Zhou didn't know if ordinary people could see this cloud of black air, so he had to shout again: "Get out of the way!"

Seeing that the black air rushed to Xu Boyuan's chest, dazzling golden light erupted on Xu Boyuan's body in vain, opening the arc-shaped barrier covering his whole body.However, the black energy seemed to have half of his own consciousness, and when he was hit on the head, he immediately turned a corner and turned into Xu Jingluan's body!

At the same time, the faint golden light on Xu Jingluan's chest was extinguished!

——Xu Jingluan's wide-eyed eyes quickly faded away, and she fell forward as if she was pulled out of her soul.

"A Luan!" Xu Boyuan quickly caught her with sharp eyes and hands.

Look at the man in black exhaling a demonic aura. Thick blood gushes out from the eyes, nostrils, and corners of the mouth, covering the entire face in an instant, like countless black ants crawling across in groups, strange and terrifying.

The man behind him leaned towards his neck and shouted, "I'm out of breath!"

"A Luan...A Luan!"

Xu Boyuan yelled a few times, although Xu Jingluan opened her eyes, she didn't respond at all, her body was stiff and stretched, she was lying in Xu Boyuan's arms, if it wasn't for the faint rise and fall of her chest, she would have seemed dead——

Ying Zhou stepped forward hurriedly, wanting to show Xu Jingluan a look at the situation, but Xu Boyuan drew his long sword out of its sheath and pointed at him before he got close, and said coldly, "Stop!"

Ying Zhou stopped and raised his hands to indicate that he did not have any malicious intentions.

Xu Jingluan stared blankly at the direction of the night sky, black blood gushed from the corner of her mouth suddenly, Xu Boyuan was taken aback, took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, poured out a few brown pellets and stuffed them into her mouth.

Ying Zhou asked, "What did you feed her?"

Xu Boyuan didn't raise his head, "What does it have to do with you?"

Between the two sentences, the blood on the corner of Xu Jingluan's mouth became more, it almost gushed out, and Ying Zhou hurriedly said, "I can help her."

He has the purple jade ring given by Nanling on his body, maybe it can come in handy.

Xu Boyuan didn't seem to hear it, he directly picked up Xu Jingluan and boarded the carriage, and said, "Go home immediately!"

"Wait!" Ying Zhou chased after him.

However, this group of people came without a shadow, and went like the wind. As soon as Xu Boyuan gave the order, someone immediately touched the back of the horse with a toe, and flew down on the shaft of the chariot. The dead body of the man in black was also taken with him, and after only a moment, he pulled the reins, turned around, and left in the dust.

"..."

Ying Zhou stood there in a daze for a long while, with the purple jade ring just taken out of his sleeve between his fingers.

Although it is called a purple jade ring, it is white all over, hollowed out in the center, and tied with a section of red thread. Ying Zhou's fingers unconsciously rubbed the red thread until Xiaobai's tiger's howl came into his ears.

The giant white tiger jumped down from the sky in two steps and landed beside Ying Zhou, rubbing its head against Ying Zhou's chest twice.

Ying Zhou came back to his senses, scratched his chin, and asked, "Aren't you injured?"

The white tiger flicked its tail, indicating that he was fine.

Ying Zhou felt relieved, but when he thought of Xu Boyuan's cold eyes just now, he couldn't tell what it was like, it was not very good anyway.He found that he didn't seem to be very popular with ordinary people, so he couldn't help being a little discouraged, a little wronged, and a little puzzled.

He stood there for a while, and finally sighed, "Let's go, follow them."

This is Ying Zhou's second visit to Zhaojing, and this time his eyes are finally open.He and Xiaobai are in the air several tens of feet high, and the carriages and horses of Xu Boyuan and his party are below.

It was dark now, but there were still pedestrians passing by in twos and threes on the streets and alleys.The red silk lanterns on both sides of Suzaku Street illuminate half of the sky. The warm orange light and the purple-blue sky reflect, making the sky full of stars.They seemed to be walking on the border between the night and the city. Xiao Bai's fur was covered with warm colors, but Ying Zhou was shrouded in the night, which was very strange.The huge Zhaojing is right under your feet, and the streets and alleys circle the land into a square shape. This is the first time Ying Zhou has seen such a scene. Before, all he passed were small towns, and the streets were deserted at night. Now he Only then can we really see the prosperity of the world.

After crossing half of Suzaku Street and turning two bridges, the carriage stopped in front of a mansion.

The golden lacquered and vermilion door opened, many people came out, Xu Boyuan hugged Xu Jingluan and jumped out of the carriage.

Ying Zhou didn't dare to get too close, so he and Xiao Bai stopped on a roof far away. He watched Xu Boyuan enter and the door closed, revealing the dark green plaque on the door beam, with the words "Yu Wang's Mansion" written in flamboyant and phoenix style.

Ying Zhou read it in a low voice, as if he was talking to Xiao Bai, and also seemed to be talking to himself: "At least I know they live here, so I won't be able to find them."

·

Zhu Lan lit the incense in the four-legged copper stove, suddenly heard a light knocking sound from outside the window, hurriedly put on his coat and opened the window, and saw Ying Zhou riding on a white tiger, and smiled at him, "Sorry, Came to bother you again."

Zhu Lan backed away two steps, allowing Ying Zhou to come in through the window.The white tiger shook its fur, and jumped towards the window. When it landed on the window sill, it had turned into a little white cat. Ying Zhou's arms were slightly opened, and he jumped up and got into Ying Zhou's arms, without even looking at Zhu Lan. .

Zhulan asked: "Have you finished the work of the tiger?"

Ying Zhou shook his head with a frustrated expression, "No, I have something to ask you."

Zhu Lan invited him to take a seat, "Tiger please speak."

Ying Zhou thought for a while, then asked first: "Do you know the place 'Yu Wang's Mansion'?"

Zhu Lan said: "Of course I know it. That is the residence of the only brother of the current emperor, but King Yu and his concubine passed away more than ten years ago, leaving behind a pair of children. Princess Duankang."

Ying Zhou nodded, Xu Boyuan should be the eldest son, and Xu Jingluan is probably Duankang Princess.

Zhulan asked: "Why does the tiger ask such a question, but what's wrong with Prince Yu's mansion?"

Ying Zhou shook his head again. Although Zhu Lan didn't have any malicious intentions, perhaps because of the influence of Li Lang and others, he unconsciously kept an eye out and didn't tell Zhu Lan about Xu Jingluan's identity, but changed the topic When it came to the black energy that attacked Xu Jingluan, she used Miss Xu as her name and told the story again.

The man in black didn't have any demonic aura at first, so he should be a mortal through and through, but the cloud of black aura that emerged from him was obviously not something that a mortal could display.Although Ying Zhou knew a lot of monsters, he didn't know much about monsters, and he had never seen such weird spells.On the contrary, a monster like Zhu Lan who stays in the human world all year round may be able to say one, two, three.

After listening to Ying Zhou's description, Zhulan pondered for a moment, and said cautiously: "Hearing the tiger's description like this, it seems a bit like a curse technique. It's just that I don't know much about this kind of technique, so I don't know if I can help you go up the mountain." Your busy..."

Ying Zhou said: "Tell me what you know."

Zhu Lan nodded, and said again: "The tiger said just now that the black energy appeared from a mortal, and the mortal died after it appeared, which is consistent with the conditions of the curse technique. I heard that it looks like death Monsters such as spirits and bones often use this kind of magic to curse others with life sacrifices. This method can break the barrier of protection and take human life invisible. It is very vicious. Even us monsters You can't avoid it. Miss Xu has the golden dragon's energy to protect her body, so monsters can't get in at all, but if you use a curse, you can solve this problem."

Ying Zhou held his teacup in thought.

The cloud of black energy was going towards Xu Boyuan at first, but it was only pushed back by the golden dragon energy on Xu Boyuan's body before it entered Xu Jingluan's body.From this point of view, the target of the person behind the scenes should have been Xu Boyuan, but he didn't want to attack Xu Jingluan because his magic power was not strong enough to break through Xu Boyuan's dragon energy?

——This explanation seems reasonable.

The golden dragon aura on Xu Boyuan's body is the key to whether the barrier in this world can be maintained. If something happens to Xu Boyuan, the barrier will probably shatter in a short time, and then there will be another battle between humans, monsters and immortals. Doesn't it just happen to fulfill the prophecy in Kunwu's book? The heaven and earth catastrophe, the Three Realms perish.

However, no matter what happened, the top priority now is to save lives.

Ying Zhou asked, "Is there a way to crack it?"

Zhu Lan said: "If it's really a curse, the sacrifice is dead, and the curse has entered the body, so it may not be easy to break it. The safest thing is to find the person who cast the curse and solve it from there."

Ying Zhou sighed, "How can I find this?"

As Li Lang said, the capital has a large population, and finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack.He was able to find Xu Boyuan so quickly, one was lucky, and the other was because Xu Boyuan had the aura of a golden dragon, which was very conspicuous.But the monster who cast the curse will not put a note on his forehead, how to tell the difference?

"As long as all spells are activated, conditions must be met. The most important part of casting a curse is the sacrifice. The person who cast the curse must contact it to leave a seal on it. Tigers might as well find it on the sacrifice. Looking for a clue?"

·

Ying Zhou felt that Zhu Lan's words made sense.

The logical result was that he and Xiaobai climbed up the wall of Prince Yu's mansion together, but before he could stand on his toes, he was hit by a golden light that suddenly appeared.

A man and a tiger fell from a wall that was two and a half times as high as Ying Zhou. Xiao Bai wailed and turned into a cat again, and Ying Zhou fell to the ground with his back facing the sky, which was very tragic.

The golden barrier around the palace is faintly visible, perhaps because Xu Boyuan lives here, the barrier here is much more complete than the layer that covers the world, and when Xiaobai breaks in, it takes shape, and the entire palace is surrounded like an iron barrel , Looking around, there is not even a trace of gap.

Ying Zhou touched the wall and stood up, "I didn't expect the barrier here to be so strong, it's really embarrassing for you."

Xiaobai spread out his limbs to form a cat cake, and let out a couple of fuzzy calls.

Ying Zhou said: "No, Miss Xu's situation is urgent, I have to guard here, I can't go back to Zhulan's place."

Although their fall was not as embarrassing as when they fell from a height of [-] feet last time, Ying Zhou's clothes were also dirty, and his bun fell apart. At that time, the appearance of the peerless, can be said to be disheartened.Ying Zhou held Xiao Bai in his arms, walked around the palace, thought for a while when he reached the gate, and said, "Let's wait here."

——It’s not that he’s stupid and doesn’t know how to knock on the door. In fact, he had already tried before climbing the wall, but no one came to open the door after knocking for a long time, so he had to give up.

One person and one cat leaned against the base of the big stone lion behind them, and sat down on the steps in front of the door.

The moon and stars were scarce in the sky, and the wind was filled with a refreshing night dew scent. Ying Zhou tilted his head and yawned lightly.

·

When the east was dark, there was a cracking sound from the inner courtyard of the palace: "Since there is nothing wrong with the pulse condition, why does Aluan vomit blood and become unconscious?!"

The imperial physician who was yelled at was trembling and couldn't answer half a sentence.

Xu Boyuan didn't sleep all night, his eyes were blue and black, his face was clouded with clouds, and a storm was about to come.

On the bed, Xu Jingluan spat out another "wow" of blood, and the maid next to her hurriedly wiped her face, but the speed of wiping couldn't keep up with the speed of her vomiting, and the bed sheet had already been dyed dark red and black.The maid came in with a clean water basin, and went out with a red one after a while. This cycle has been tossing all night.The imperial doctors poured medicine and gave acupuncture, and tried all the methods that could be tried, but it didn't work at all.

Xu Boyuan let out a deep breath, and closed his red eyes.

It was not once or twice that Xu Jingluan went out of the mansion privately to Yayang Pavilion, she never changed after repeated admonitions.Although he is like a father, it is impossible for him to really lock someone in the room with a chain to prevent her from going out.What's more, Xu Jingluan can always find a way to sneak out, climb walls, drill holes, and do whatever she can.In fact, in the end, his attitude was already turning a blind eye, as long as she didn't cause trouble or let others discover her identity, he would let her go.

Fortunately, Xu Jingluan still has a sense of propriety. Every time she goes there, she just listens to the music, but she will come back spontaneously after a couple of hours.Gradually, he didn't care about this matter. Sometimes he knew and pretended not to know, but would secretly send someone to follow behind to protect her. Sometimes he really didn't know, so he said a few harsh words afterwards. The most punishment is to punish her for copying books.

He also knew that he doted too much on Xu Jingluan, but Xu Boyuan didn't want to be stingy with the only person left in the world who was connected by blood and could satisfy her.

"Yuanzheng," Xu Boyuan pinched his sore nose, his voice was hoarse and rough, "Speaking bluntly, do you have other ways to try?"

Yuanzheng is over sixty years old, has practiced medicine for decades, and can be regarded as a master of the previous generation. He bowed his hands to Xu Boyuan, "My son, I wait... I have little knowledge, really..."

Xu Boyuan stood up, interrupted Yuanzheng's words, and strode out the door, "Prepare your horse and go to Yayan Pavilion."

The servants were taken aback for a moment, and then hurried to prepare.

An accident happened to the princess, and the son is going to Yayang Pavilion at this time, so why should he be held accountable for Yayang Pavilion?After all, the princess had an accident on the way back to the palace from there, so it is reasonable for the son to seek the bad luck of Yayang Pavilion.

At this time, the sky was only slightly bright, and the doorkeeper was pushed awake in the midst of a doze, and when he woke up, he saw Shizi standing in front of him with a dark face, almost fainted from fright, and hurriedly moved the door bolt tremblingly.

As soon as Xu Boyuan stepped over the threshold, he saw Ying Zhou sitting at the foot of the stone lion and huddled into a ball.

At that moment, it was difficult for him to describe his feelings.

Going to Yayang Pavilion at this time is actually looking for Ying Zhou, just because he remembered Ying Zhou's sentence "I can help her" last night.

Ying Zhou was still wearing last night's clothes, probably because he hadn't washed and washed, he looked a bit embarrassed, the blood on his face was wiped off, but his clothes were a bit dirty and his hair was a bit messy.He curled up his legs and hugged his knees, leaning half of his body on the foot of the stone lion at the town gate. He didn't sleep well, and he frowned slightly. This description and posture made him look a little fragile.

But still beautiful, too beautiful to be true.

The morning light hit his face, and there were golden spots on his black hair. Half of his face was exposed｜The outline was blurred under the morning light, and the other half of his face facing Xu Boyuan was soaked. The dew on a summer night is a bit chilly, and even the eyelashes are exposed because of the moisture.The rising noise on the street did not wake him up, the flowing crowd, the flat streets, and the rising sun all became the background, he seemed to be separated from the world alone, and he was incompatible with everything around him, looking like a dream Fragile as illusory—

It seems that as long as you stretch out your hand, it will be pierced.

The author has something to say: Sha Zhou, the most beautiful man in the world, conquers the world with his face

Let me tell you, my internet is blown up... (crying loudly)
