bad

As the carriage rattled forward, Xu Boyuan leaned on the soft pillow and squeezed the space between his brows, feeling very tired.

In fact, he is far from never drunk, but his drinking capacity is slightly better than ordinary people, and he will subconsciously force himself to remain calm and rational after drunk, so even if he is drunk, others will not be able to see it.

He thought of his conversation with Xu Li, and felt that he was probably drunk, otherwise, how could he have said something like a childish quarrel, and the last sentence "not good" was childish and inexplicable.

He clearly has countless ways to answer Xu Li, and he can reject Xu Li more cleverly, tactfully, and peacefully, but at that moment, all the thoughts in his mind are glued together like a paste, and the only thing he can blurt out is The remaining two words, it seems that without these two words, he could not express his irritability and disgust.

——Although those two words were so naive that he didn't even want to think about them, he had to admit that the moment he said them was actually a joy in body and mind, a kind of joy that I should have been so long ago.

The coachman is an old man in the palace. He has been driving the car for more than ten years, and it is very stable. However, after drinking alcohol, his body becomes extremely sensitive, and a slight shaking is infinitely magnified. The fresh and comfortable scent of incense is mixed with his body on weekdays. The smell of alcohol wafted into his mouth and nose, stirring up his stomach, Xu Boyuan finally couldn't help shouting: "Stop."

The coachman reined in his horse immediately, Xu Boyuan lifted the curtain and came out, "Go back first, I'll walk by myself."

This place is not far from Prince Yu's Mansion. If you walk faster, it will take less than a moment, and if you walk slower, it will take at most half an hour.The coachman drove away, and Xu Boyuan walked alone on the quiet and dark road. All the shops on the street were closed, and at a glance, the road seemed to have no end in sight.

He was not walking fast, the lanterns and candles flickered faintly by the roadside, the figures under his feet were short and long, the cool wind swayed the leaves of the sycamore trees and rustled, the pure smell of the air relieved his discomfort, and also blew away the hazy drunkenness, Seep into the pleasant coolness of late summer and early autumn.

His senses and sharpness gradually woke up.

This is actually a very subtle feeling, without any reason, and there is no sign of trouble, but he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the street leading to nothingness and darkness behind him.

Xu Boyuan squinted his eyes, subconsciously pressed his hands on his empty waist, and only then remembered that he was attending a banquet tonight and did not wear a weapon.

The wind from the back seemed to be cooler, rolled up his robe, as if there were a pair of invisible hands behind his back, trying to push him into the darkness of nothingness, the lanterns on both sides swayed slightly with the wind, as if leading to The road to the underworld in the depths of hell.

The instinct of a martial artist told him that something was stirring in the darkness on the other side of the street.

After a while, a slender figure slowly walked out from the darkness. Luo Qun Jinchai walked very slowly, but approached quickly, and Xu Boyuan's pupils shrank violently.

——It's Xu Jingluan!

"Ah..." He opened his mouth, wanting to call her name, but couldn't make any sound.

All of a sudden, he froze, and saw two lines of blood tears in Xu Jingluan's staring, empty eyes, her pale lips parted, and she vomited out a mouthful of blood, which stained the front of her chest.She knelt down on the ground, stretched out her trembling hand towards Xu Boyuan, and called out in a hoarse voice, "Brother...help me..."

Xu Boyuan almost instinctively stepped forward to hold that hand, and instantly the bone-piercing cold spread from his fingers to his whole body, as if he was in the most severe winter, and he let out a breath of white air.

"Brother... I seem to be dying..."

The skin on Xu Jingluan's face was lifeless blue-gray, only the two lines of blood and tears were bright and dazzling, and the words he spoke were like a sharp dagger, stabbing Xu Boyuan hard in the heart, and unconsciously he had both eyes. Kneeling down, kneeling in front of Xu Jingluan, letting Xu Jingluan hold his face.

"Brother, save me, save me..."

Xu Boyuan held her hand tightly.

"Die for me," Xu Jingluan begged him desperately, "Brother, please... I'm in so much pain, you hurt for me...Die for me..."

Xu Boyuan stared blankly at her distorted and broken face, "A Luan..." He finally made a sound, "You..."

He almost said yes.

However, a golden light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, swimming and circling in his mind, slender like a young dragon, sweeping away all the strange things.The golden light stung his eyes, Xu Boyuan couldn't help closing them for a moment, and when he opened them again, the confusion, hesitation, and chaos in them all disappeared without a trace, only clarity.

He looked at "Xu Jingluan" in front of him, and said coldly, "You are not Aluan, who are you?"

"Xu Jingluan" tilted her head, and there was almost a click, her neck bent at an incredible angle, "Brother..."

"Don't call me that," Xu Boyuan grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to the ground with his backhand. There was no room for murder in his eyes, "Who the hell are you?!"

"Brother..." "Xu Jingluan" looked at him without blinking, and suddenly giggled, "Brother!"

"Shut up!" Xu Boyuan scolded angrily.

This sound seemed to have opened up some mechanism. Hundreds of thousands of black shadows slowly appeared in the ambiguous darkness around them. Countless Xu Jingluan walked out of the darkness, all of them shed tears of blood, their lips opened and closed, and kept screaming. Said: "Brother!"

Thousands of voices kneaded together, and the echoes were endless, almost piercing Xu Boyuan's eardrums.

Xu Boyuan couldn't help letting go of "Xu Jingluan", covered his ears with both hands, and shouted again:

"To shut up!"

However, the voice didn't stop, but became clearer. Countless voices of "Brother" came one after another, lingering in my ears, locking Xu Boyuan in place like a spell, like a sharp sword piercing through flesh and blood, creating a huge blood hole He also emptied his internal organs, stuffed death and despair into his body, trying to squeeze his soul out——

To shut up.

To shut up.

To shut up!

Ow-!

Suddenly, there was a deep and powerful howl of a tiger, which came from the distant sky like a sharp arrow, and shot into the noisy chaos in this corner, which was deafening.

I saw all the "Xu Jingluan" froze in place at first, frozen still, and after a while, their faces showed terrified and fearful expressions, "Ah! Ah——! Ah!", they all covered their ears and screamed!

Xu Boyuan's eyes went black for a while, and he was almost fainted by the earth-shattering scream.

At this moment, a icy cold covered his hands covering his ears.Although it was cold, it was very gentle, like a wall was propped up beside his ears, driving all the painful sounds out of his territory.

He could still see the panicked mouths of the "Xu Jingluan", but he couldn't hear anything.

— the whole world seemed to go away from him.

Xu Boyuan opened his eyes suddenly.

The body panted unconsciously, and the air poured into his lungs made him wake up. He seemed to have had a terrible and painful nightmare. Although he was awake, the despair and helplessness in the dream still remained in his consciousness, which would drag him into collapse. into the abyss.

The blurry scene gradually became clear, the silent long street, the flickering lights, the rustling sycamore leaves, countless double shadows converged into a white-clothed figure in front of him, Ying Zhou knelt in front of him, looking at him worriedly.

"you……"

When he opened his mouth, the sharp pain went from his lungs to his throat, as if a hole had really been opened in his chest, and his voice leaked from there, rough and distorted.It was cold to the ear, and he realized that he was holding Ying Zhou's hand tightly, and pressing his palm against his ear, with cold sweat between the palm and the back of the hand.Probably because he was using too much force in his hands, Ying Zhou's beautiful brows were furrowed in pain, but his hands were very relaxed, fingers interspersed between his hair, holding his head gently with slight strength.

They knelt face to face on the stone brick floor and looked at each other. Although Ying Zhou's hands were cold, they were not cold, and it was extremely real.

Xu Boyuan calmed down for a few breaths, finally struggled out of that hopeless collapse, and let go of Ying Zhou.

Ying Zhou worried, "Are you okay?"

Xu Boyuan frowned and said nothing, his temples throbbed, his headache almost exploded.

Through his shoulders, Ying Zhou could see the shape of the raised shoulder blades on his undulating back. The muscles tensed and relaxed as he breathed. The ultimate bow, trance may break at any time.

After a long time, Xu Boyuan raised his head, with cold sweat on his forehead, and asked hoarsely, "Why are you here?"

"Xiaobai smelled a monster." Ying Zhou didn't know how to relieve his pain, so he could only say softly, "I was a little worried, so I came out to take a look."

"...Where are the monsters?"

"Xiao Bai went after him."

Xu Boyuan remained silent for a while, then suddenly said: "I seem to have a dream."

In the dream, Xu Jingluan was crying blood and screaming in his ears, and there was an unconcealable breath of death on her body.

"You just got enchanted." Although Ying Zhou didn't know what he saw, but he thought it was not a dream, so he comforted, "It's just an illusion, not real."

--not real.

It was obviously just a simple sentence, but it easily dispelled the doubts and fears in my heart.The curse on Xu Jingluan's body has been broken by Ying Zhou, what he saw was just his phantom dream, not real.

Xu Boyuan exhaled the breath that was stuck in his chest, and his body finally relaxed. He stared at Ying Zhou's clear eyes, "Is it the monster who cursed Ah Luan?"

"Probably not," Ying Zhou shook his head, looking behind Xu Boyuan, "Xiaobai is back."

The huge white tiger tapped its toes in the void, fell from the night sky to Ying Zhou in twos and threes, and lowered its head as if asking for a reward.

Ying Zhou touched his forehead, and a mess of hair spit out from Baihu's mouth. Ying Zhou knelt down, picked up the hair, rubbed it twice and asked, "This is...Zhu Lan?"

After the battle with Fanye, he has doubts about Zhulan. Some things make sense when he doesn't think about it carefully, but once he thinks about it, he can't stand up to scrutiny at all.There are many doubts about Zhulan, Xiaobai has a lot of knowledge, but he was easily enchanted by a cat demon, not to mention that when he was stunned by Li Lang earlier, Xiaobai did not resist and let Li Lang Lang and others sent him to Yayan Pavilion, which was one of them; moreover, as soon as he entered Yayan Pavilion, he met Xu Jingluan who was carrying the dragon spirit. As Li Lang said, the capital city has a population of 10,000+. A person is like looking for a needle in a haystack, the meeting between him and Xu Jingluan is really too coincidental, this is the second; and when he just met Xu Jingluan, Xu Jingyuan was kidnapped, and she was also cursed, telling him It was Zhu Lan who went to check the kidnapper's body - a cat demon who had only practiced for a hundred years, but he knew the curse technique that even he and Xiaobai didn't know very well. The dragon aura appeared and disappeared from time to time, and the two appearances were in the middle of a fight. Ying Zhou still couldn't confirm whether Xu Boyuan was the person he was looking for, but Zhu Lan said that he had seen the dragon aura on Xu Boyuan and was sure that he was the dragon son , this is the fourth.

Based on these points, it's not surprising that he asked this question, but Xiao Bai shook his head.

It wasn't Zhulan.

Xu Boyuan stared at the brown-red hair in Ying Zhou's hand for a moment, and said, "It's a fox."

Ying Zhou was taken aback, first looked at Xu Boyuan, and then at Xiaobai.Little Baijin glanced at Xu Boyuan coolly, as if he was not happy about being robbed of the opportunity to ask for credit. The white tiger flicked its tail, and suddenly began to shrink in size. In Ying Zhou's arms, he squinted his eyes and let out a "meow".

——It really is a fox.

Ying Zhou couldn't help sighing: "There are so many monsters in the world."

Xu Boyuan said: "Zhu Lan too?"

"Well," accidentally slipping the words, Ying Zhou could only nod his head, "He is."

"So you came to him," Xu Boyuan said, "for the purpose of cursing."

"Yes..." Ying Zhou thought about it, it was a long story, and he would not be able to explain clearly for a while, so he said, "Let's go back first, A Luan is still waiting."

After saying that, he stood up, patted the ashes on his knees, stretched out his hand towards Xu Boyuan, and asked with concern, "Can you stand up?"

Xu Boyuan looked at the hand in front of him, but didn't shake it.
