I didn't expect you to be such a master
Chapter 19
There was a look of confusion on his face.
It was a boy about his age, with delicate eyebrows and cold eyes, and the melting fire light illuminated half of his side face, outlining a tall nose bridge.
Judging from the appearance, the young man is very similar to the Taoist priest, with the same tall and straight figure, and the white clothes are more snowy, but his brows and eyes are not as cold as the Taoist priest, and still have a little youthful spirit and innocence.With his hair tied up and wearing only a thin shirt, he showed a slender figure, and asked, "Are you awake?" His voice was as cold as a human's, not the kind of cold voice he was used to.
Who is this?
He looks like a Taoist priest, but he is not a Taoist priest.This is... a Taoist priest in his youth?
still is……
When I was a teenager... Ah Qian?
As soon as those two words appeared, Zilin was startled and flustered, he lowered his head abruptly, and saw himself in the black-haired silk dress.
By the way, he is in human form now, Ah Qian should have never seen his human form.At this time, he couldn't help but rejoice for his foresight back then, turning into a snake to accompany him.
then……
The little snake couldn't help lamenting in his heart: Why did I just sleep for so many years!What the hell is going on!
After a long time, he suddenly said, "Where is this place?"
The young man calmly stared at the person in front of him, and looked at the changing expression on his face, from shock, panic, confusion to the calm he was trying to maintain, and said calmly, "You have strayed into Jiuxiao's enchantment by mistake. , almost froze to death inside. I happened to pass by and brought you out."
"Jiuxiao's enchantment..." That place is still some distance away from Jiuxiao's mountain gate, and there was no enchantment at all at the beginning.If not, how could they meet the vine demon, and how could he be separated from the Taoist priest?
"Then now..." The little snake looked around, they were in a small cave, looking out of the cave, there was a vast expanse of whiteness outside.Take a closer look, it is snowing heavily and the wind is cold.The wind, wrapped in snowflakes, rushed towards the cave, but it seemed to be blocked by some invisible thing, and it was impossible to enter the cave for half a step.
"A small spell." Seeing him looking at the hole in surprise, the boy said.
Zi Lin nodded, no wonder the cave is so warm.
He looked at the young man and saw that his expression had been calm all the time, and he really didn't recognize him, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.Pretending to meet him for the first time, he asked his name.
The young man lowered his eyes and said lightly: "The surname is Cang, and the single name has the word 'Qian'."
Really...
Zilin didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief, or to raise his heart, and thanked him.
"Ah...cough cough, Cang Shaoxia, thank you for your righteous rescue."
Cang Qian raised his eyes and took a deep look at the person in front of him.
Zilin froze when he saw him, and asked tremblingly, "Young Master Cang?"
"It's nothing." Cang Qian smiled slightly, "I just feel that Your Excellency looks familiar, as if I met you sometime ago."
"Ah... but I don't have much memory. This is the first time I've passed by this place. I think Cang Shaoxia must have misremembered it."
"Hmm... I don't know how to call you?"
"...My surname is She, and my single name is 'Yao'." Isn't it just a snake demon?
"She... Yao..." The young man chewed these two words, nodded and said, "Remember it."
☆、Chapter 25
There was no words for a while, and the cave fell silent.
With Little Snake's usual temperament, when he saw the young Cang Qian at this time, he should have something to say and ask, but because of the previous promise with Yu Qingzi, and the Cangheqin whose life and death are unknown, let He fell silent for a rare moment.
Seeing that he was just staring at the flying snow outside the cave, Cang Qian lowered his eyes to make the fire more prosperous, and said calmly: "Going out is the enchantment of Jiuxiao, and the mountain is blocked by heavy snow. With your own strength, you can't go far. step will be beaten back to its original shape."
The little snake was startled and stuttered, "Original form?"
Cang Qian just let out a soft "heh": "She Yao, the snake demon, you named it so casually, do you underestimate my Taoist ability to distinguish demons too much?"
Little Snake felt his scalp go numb when he heard the words, and subconsciously tightened his body: "Cang, Cang Shaoxia..."
"But I don't know what kind of snake your original body is?"
"I... I'm just a little country snake, I can't talk about any kind..." Seeing that the conversation was going in a strange direction, the little snake said hastily.
I am a little bit certain in my heart that although his spiritual power is weak, he still has hundreds of years of cultivation. Unless he transforms into his original form, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to truly see his original appearance.Cang Qian can see that he is a snake demon at a glance, which is already very powerful, no more.
"It's a pity, but it's not the snake I was looking for." There was a bit of regret in his tone.
Zi Lin lowered his head slightly: "I don't know why the young hero is looking for that snake?"
"Naturally... cut it with a sword."
cut it...
cut it?
Zi Lin suddenly raised his head, horrified for a moment, he forgot to take his gaze away from the boy's face, and just stared at him blankly.
Looking into those cold eyes all the time, his hands and feet went limp and his whole body felt cold because of the sudden killing intent.
"You have to... cut it..." repeated unconsciously.
The young man also looked over, his expression eased when he heard the words, he nodded and said: "Although Jiu Xiao takes it as his duty to eliminate demons and defend the Tao, he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Zilin hurriedly came back to his senses, realizing that he had lost his composure just now, which attracted Cang Qian's attention.
Although there was a hint of comfort in those words, they were extremely bitter to his ears.When I saw Cang Qian for the first time, I was caught off guard. Although I was panicked and uneasy, it was not without a trace of surprise.
That little child who relied on him everywhere at that time has now grown into a high-spirited young man with flying eyebrows.
He couldn't wait to look for the shadow of Ah Qian when he was a child on that person's face, with quiet eyebrows and eyes, jade skin and black hair, vaguely similar to what he looked like back then, but at this moment, it was so strange to him.
cut him...
Naturally, he should be beheaded. If he had any involvement with him, his life would be lost. Anyone would make this choice.
It's just that they were dependent on each other back then, and they are still vivid in my memory. The childish words, the promises I made all my life, but I have really forgotten them all?I tried my best to rescue her in distress several times, and the kindness here has also been forgotten?
The hands hidden in the sleeves were clenched suddenly, the bitterness had turned into grievances, and turned into anger, almost unable to hide it, and stood up abruptly.
The young monk came over after hearing the reputation, his eyes showed a questioning look, Zilin was stared at by his clear pupils, like a deflated ball, full of anger stalked in his heart, unable to attack, and finally just sighed dejectedly.
That's all, I didn't expect to get anything in return for saving him back then.
I knew so...
If he had known this, he would have saved him.After all, the fate of a body is related to the life and death of a Taoist priest.
I am not for the Taoist priests, but for getting rid of this soft smoke and red dust as soon as possible.He said to himself, tried his best to suppress the astringency in his heart, walked to the entrance of the cave, stared at the snow flying outside the cave, and asked, "If you want to leave here, what should you do?" His tone became calm.
The young man's eyes darkened, and he said slowly: "This is the Nine Heavens Protecting Mountain Barrier, and there is a forbidden technique inside, which can eliminate all evil spirits."
Zilin's heart tightened.
But seeing the young man continued: "I just have something to go down the mountain, I can protect you for the next journey."
Zilin thought to himself: If you knew that I was the snake demon, I'm afraid you wouldn't say such a thing.Even though he was unwilling in his heart, he nodded his head when he thought of being trapped in this mountain and not knowing when he would be relieved.He has already made up his mind, as long as he goes down Yashan, he will part ways with Cang Qian and never see each other again.
Thinking of this, he felt that he couldn't wait for half a minute, and urged: "Cang Shaoxia, don't hesitate, let's go."
Cang Qian was surprised: "Your Excellency is in a hurry to leave, but you have something important to do?"
Zilin nodded indiscriminately, and thought: Nonsense, if you stay for a long time, and you expose your old background and chop it off with a sword, then I have no place to cry.
The young man pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, but with your description, I can't protect you well."
Zilin was taken aback.
Cang Qian stretched out his sleeves, and said in a warm voice: "If you can trust me, please also enter my sleeves, I have my own techniques to cover up my aura."
The little snake looked at Cang Qian, feeling suspicious in his heart, seeing his pale face, he hesitated for a moment.Previously, Cangheqin took him to sneak into Jiuxiao and did the same thing, so he knew that his words were true.
But if he changed his original form, wouldn't he be revealing his secrets?
But seeing Cang Qian's expression, he couldn't tell if he was lying to him.Gritting his teeth, he said helplessly, "Okay." Negligence turned into a small snake as thick as a thumb, but it was nothing more than an ordinary snake with brown scales and mottled patterns.
Cang Qian flicked his sleeves, seeing the little snake slowly swimming in, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, he wiped away the little snake's aura with one hand, withdrew the spell that sealed the hole, turned around and plunged into the snow.
When Zilin slipped into his sleeve, he felt familiar. The sleeve was dyed with a faint fragrance of plum, and for a moment he couldn't tell whose sleeve it was.But when he heard the thunder outside, it seemed to be exploding in his ears, he couldn't help but froze, thinking that the young Cang Qian's cultivation base is not as advanced as that of Taoist priests, and it is still a little bit reluctant to break through the barrier of protecting the mountain.
"It's nothing." The young man's clear voice came, although the words were short, they were full of comfort.
Zilin felt a little shy in his heart, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Don't be brave."
The young man just smiled lightly and didn't make a sound.
I don't know how long it took, the thunder gradually faded away, and Zi Lin also felt the ubiquitous coercion lighten, his body came alive, and he swam towards the man's sleeve, asking: "Can you come out?"
Cang Qian stretched out his cuffs, and saw the snake flying out of the sleeves, turning into a young man with picturesque eyebrows, black clothes like water, white and greasy skin, slender waist and limbs, with a seductive look in his gestures and feet.For a moment, it matched with the vague figure in his memory, and the shape became more and more clear.
The young man didn't know it, he looked around for a while, bowed to himself, thanked him in a low voice, and was about to leave, but he didn't even look at him any more.
"Wait a minute." Cang Qian didn't have time to think about it, the words had already blurted out, subconsciously wanting to keep him.
Zi Lin asked: "What else can young man do?"
The boy paused and said, "You...where are you going?"
Zi Lin was taken aback, and thought: Why do you still want to be with me?
He quickly smiled and said: "I have my own affairs, and the young man has other matters, so I dare not delay the young man any longer. Let's meet again by fate." That is the meaning of refusal.
Cang Qian looked at his receding back, didn't move for a long time, fell into deep thought, until his sleeves swayed slightly, a ball of light flooded out, and turned into a small figure the size of a fist, hanging on his cuff, as if about to emerge from the sky. Dive down.It's a pity that the man's calves are short, and as soon as his hands are loosened, he rolls down along the hem of his clothes. When he gets up, he only sees a distant figure from his back.
"You want to find him too?" The young man said to himself, sighed, and took the Zhiguo Jing back into his palm, "If he sees where he is going, he will follow me all the way, let's go."
Zhi Guo snorted twice, then settled down, and was honestly taken back into the sleeve by Cang Qian.
Zilin bid farewell to the boy Cang Qian, and hurriedly left the boundary of Yashan, when he stopped, he had already left Yashan far behind, and the boy disappeared without a trace.
His heart relaxed slightly, followed by a burst of deep melancholy.He is different from Cang Qian, a few years are but fleeting to him.As if overnight, everything has changed beyond recognition.Of the two people he cares about, one has no news of his life or death, and the other regards him as a stranger... No, it's worse than a stranger...
This time it's really all over the place.
He couldn't help but smiled wryly, looking at the surging river under his feet, it was through this ferry that he and the Taoist went ashore and sent Cangqian to Yashan.
The teahouse by the ferry was still there, Zilin chose a table to sit down, and the tea was served by a woman in a coarse thorn hairpin. From her face, she could vaguely see the tenderness of her little daughter back then.Zilin asked her what year it was now, the woman smiled back at him, and the answer she got was as expected, eight years had passed in a flash.
Maybe it was because he already had the answer in his heart, and he was not surprised when he heard it at first. Zilin didn't even move his eyebrows, and was lost in thought while holding a cup of tea.Now he doesn't want to understand why this is so, what matters is what to do next.
He thought to himself: Anyway, when he came out, he was alone, but now he is back alone, so he should be happy and at ease.
Well, where are you living?What is the difference between domestic and foreign?Thinking that even the blood contract has no effect on him, he couldn't help but smile.Looking at the rushing river not far away, his heart moved: in this territory, everything he encountered and saw was old things from the previous dynasty. I don't know if he will see monsters and scholars again when he returns to Lingnan.
Thinking of this, I felt a little bit of anticipation, so I stood up and decided where to go.
Walking to the ferry, his face was a little broken, looking at his hands, the biggest problem now is that his mana is completely suppressed, and he has no troubles, and now it is a huge difficulty for him to go back on foot.
While walking around, I saw a fleet of ships coming slowly from the upper reaches. The majestic big ship headed by it covered the clouds with sails and flags, and there were majestic horns to suppress the sky. It was a grand and magnificent scene.
☆、Chapter 26
The high bed was soft and soft, with hanging tendrils and tassels, and in the brocade quilt lay a dying young man with his eyes closed.The candlelight danced and the light and shadow flickered, illuminating the world in a hazy state.
The maidservant who was watching the night couldn't bear to doze off, and lowered her head little by little.The candle wick went out with a "pop", and the maid fell into a coma.
Zhu Jianchen was lying on the bed, his limbs felt cold, and his heart was burning with irritability.With so many people coming and going during the day, his head was about to burst from the noise, but there might not be a prescription that would work.He couldn't help moaning because of his chest irritability, but the groan that came out was not much louder than the sound of a mosquito.
"It's so pitiful." In the dimness, someone said suddenly, and then a hand was placed on his forehead, and the fingertips were slightly cool, bringing a little comfort to his hot forehead.
"It's... stained with filth..." the voice continued, "Ordinary medicine is not good for you."
Who is there?
"Hey, if I can heal you, why don't you give me a ride on this boat?" The voice stopped for a moment, chuckled, and then rang out, "I'll take it as your agreement."
In a daze, Zhu Jianchen felt his lips and teeth were pried open, and a cool and fragrant breath penetrated into his abdomen along his throat, and the burning fire in his chest was infiltrated by the cool breath, and immediately died down, his limbs and bones also died down. Gradually regained strength.
He tried his best to open his eyes, and in the dim tent, he suddenly saw a young man looking at him with a smile.That young man's skin was as white as snow, his hair was as black as ink, and he was wearing a silk dress embroidered with gold on a black background. He had only two lips, as delicate and fresh as peach petals in March. in front of the lips.
"you……"
The young man hissed lightly, and the sweet breath came to his nose again, making him lose his mind.
"My lord? You're awake!"
The maid did not know when she woke up, she heard the movement, said happily, and lit the candle again, the shallow silhouette was projected on the tent.
The boy turned over and lay down on his side.
"My lord?" The servant girl looked at the tent that had been put down at some strange time, and stretched out her hand to pull it up.
"Wait." The little prince ordered, "I have just taken those few medicines, and I feel much more comfortable. It's just that people come and go at night, and the noise makes me a little upset. You go out too, and let me alone People are quiet and quiet."
The servant girl didn't dare to say more when she heard the words, and left the room in response.
Zhu Jianchen turned his head, looked at the boy who appeared inexplicably, and couldn't help but ask, "How did you get here?"
There are hundreds of guards on his boat, and the guards at the gate take turns to be on duty, yet this young man can get into his bed without anyone noticing, it's really weird.
"I..." The boy raised his hand and scratched his face, and turned over comfortably, "Hey, your bed is quite comfortable." Ever since entering Yashan, he really hasn't slept well on a bed. After a while, now lying on the soft quilt, I don't want to get up.
"You..." Zhu Jianchen was both surprised and amused by this young man's bold act of not treating himself as an outsider at all, and asked him, "Do you know who I am?"
"You?" The young man yawned, "You are an unlucky ghost who has been affected by filth, and I am your savior. Now..." His eyes rolled and his smile was a little sweet, "You have to rest well."
Seeing him smiling, Zhu Jianchen felt that the sweet scent lingering in his nose became stronger, and was about to ask something more, but his eyelids suddenly became heavy, and he fell asleep involuntarily.
A night without dreams.
Zhu Jianchen opened his eyes, moved his hands, and found that he had changed from being weak before, and his spirit was much more refreshed. Everything last night was like a dream.He seemed to have thought of something, sat up suddenly, and looked to the side.The boy didn't realize it at all, as if he was soundly asleep.
For a moment, he didn't know what expression to put on his face.
This young man was able to come and go freely in such a heavily guarded place, and he was able to cure his chronic illness, which was definitely not an ordinary person.What's more, looking at his words and deeds, there is no trace of ordinary people's restraint, let alone the slightest fear, he looks like an alien who is talked about by those servants.
Turning into a little snake last night, I managed to reach the little prince's room with all my might, and my back ached from exhaustion.Now he was sleeping soundly, but suddenly felt itchy nose, which made him sneezed uncontrollably.
"Don't make trouble..." The little snake muttered, wanting to continue to sleep, but unfortunately the itch was so persistent that it made him sneeze several times in a row, and now he really couldn't fall asleep.
Zilin opened his eyes, and saw that the little prince was lying on the head of the bed, holding a brush in his hand, looking at him with a smile.
"Now can you tell me who you are?"
Zilin looked at him, and Zhu Jianchen, who had regained his energy, had a face like a crown of jade, with clear eyebrows and clear eyes, and he had a good appearance.Nodding his head, he said, "Now the filth on your body has been completely removed."
Zhu Jianchen contracted this strange disease inexplicably, and saw countless doctors, but none of them were effective. Unexpectedly, he was cured by this young and strange boy, and he heard the boy explain the cause of the disease in one word, and he was even more determined in his heart. This young man has an extraordinary background, so he guessed curiously: "Where did you come from?"
Zilin gave a casual "hmm" and recognized it.
"I don't know which mountain's expert you are?"
Zilinfang whispered casually from Yashan: "Yashan."
When Zhu Jianchen heard this, he was in awe.At that time, because Emperor Jing was obsessed with alchemy and pursued the way of longevity, the practice of Taoism became more and more popular.And Yashan, like Penglai Yingzhou, became a place for cultivating Taoism, during which monks rarely entered the world.So famous, but quite mysterious.
Zhu Jianchen said in his heart: Sure enough.
Seeing the boy's appearance, he was about the same age as himself, but he was very capable, so he quickly thanked him again.
Zilin waved his hand, yawned again, propped his chin and said, "Anyway, I did it by the way, you don't need to thank me, just give me a ride along the way."
Zhu Jianchen asked him, "Are you going to Kyoto too?"
Zilin shook his head: "I want to go back to Lingnan."
"Lingnan?" Zhu Jianchen frowned. "That's the land of the Southern Man, which is far away from the capital." He looked at the young man and discussed with him: "But it's convenient to go from the capital to Lingnan by taking the official route. You first Come back to Beijing with me, and then find someone to take you off."
Zilin smiled: "Okay, save people to the end, and send Buddha to the west. Anyway, Kyoto is very lively, so it's okay to go for a stroll."
Zhu Jianchen was surprised when he heard the meaning of his words: "Why, I haven't recovered from my illness yet?"
"Naturally, I have driven away the filth from your body, but your body is born to attract monsters."
Zhu Jianchen looked horrified: "What monster? I have never seen it since I was a child."
The little snake thought to himself: Isn't there a snake demon in front of you?Shaking his head secretly, this little prince didn't know that he had a spiritual bone, which was the most coveted by evil spirits, and he didn't know how he grew to such a size safely.
He said to Zhu Jianchen, "When did you get this strange disease?"
The little prince recalled: "About a few days ago, I suddenly felt chills all over my body. At first I thought it was a common typhoid fever. The doctor accompanying me on the boat prescribed a few medicines, and I got better after taking it. But After a few hours, I felt more and more cold, my whole body had no energy, and then I became groggy."
As if his body still remembered the icy cold that penetrated into the bone marrow, Zhu Jianchen couldn't help shivering.
"A few days ago, did you go to a strange place?"
"I stayed on the boat and didn't go anywhere." After thinking about it, he added, "It was a hot day, and I only went to the deck to cool off for a while... Ah, I remembered, the wind was indeed a bit cold at that time , I just thought it was cool at night, so I went back to the room without staying longer." Thinking about it carefully, he really felt a sudden cold on his body at that time.
The little snake scratched his cheek, and said: "Maybe it will be that time, if the filth is not on the boat, it is on the river."
"Jiangshang..."
"Perhaps you met some unlucky drowned."
"There are so many people drowning on the river every year, and why is it at that time?" Zhu Jianchen suddenly thought of the private conversation of the maidservant and servant that day, thinking, "I just passed by Jiangling that day."
That section of the waterway was full of wars in ancient times, could it be that it is really a lonely ghost who died in battle?But it's not like he hasn't been to such places for more than ten years, so why was he safe and sound at that time?
"Maybe there is something protecting you." Little Snake said, "Or someone. You princes and grandchildren, don't you all like to recruit some high-ranking people by your side?"
Zhu Jianchen said with a smile: "If there were someone as tall as you, I wouldn't be infected with that filth." With a move in his heart, he suddenly bent down, took out a box from the bedside cabinet, opened it, and said, "Could it be this one? This is it Mother left mine."
Zilin became interested, turned over, and leaned over to see that there was a piece of beautiful jade in the box, but unfortunately a corner was missing.
"I've been wearing it since I was a child, but a corner was accidentally broken a few days ago." He felt extremely distressed, and put the jade pendant by the bedside for storage.
Zilin picked up the jade pendant and touched it carefully: "There is some residual spiritual power. It seems that the jade pendant is indeed broken, giving those evil things a chance."
Zhu Jianchen said nervously, "What should I do?"
The little snake said: "With me by your side, what is there to be afraid of? When you arrive in Kyoto, you go to the Huguo Temple to find an eminent monk and make you an amulet."
Only then did Zhu Jianchen feel relieved.
☆、Chapter 27
Zilin stayed on the boat and was treated as a distinguished guest. He ate and drank well, and couldn't help being very satisfied, secretly boasting about his wit.That day when he was at the ferry, he saw this majestic and magnificent ship berthing on the shore, a group of people rushing up and down, and invited doctors and doctors from the town to come in and out, so he couldn't help but be careful.
Thinking that the owner here is either rich or noble, and also in trouble, he turned into a small snake and touched the boat. Seeing that the young man was full of filth and was fed bowl after bowl of soup, he silently sympathized with him for a while.
Seeing that the young man was of high status, he thought that if he could be saved, it would not be difficult to ask him for some money for the journey, so he came to the rescue.
This snake demon is hundreds of years old, but he is incomprehensible, turned into a young man of the same age as the little prince, and they get along quite harmoniously.The two chatted for a few days, and Zilin figured it out. Zhu Jianchen went to the capital to serve the sick.
Speaking of Emperor Jing, he was considered a virtuous emperor when he was young. He worked hard to govern and worked diligently in government affairs. He never thought of old age, believed in gods and Buddhas, and sought longevity.Thinking about it, from ancient times to the present, the most fearful thing for those who have some power is that one day they will lose this supreme power. Therefore, in their twilight years, people believe in ghosts and gods even more fanatically than ordinary people.
Probably because he took too much pills and his body collapsed, so he summoned the princes and grandchildren from all over the country to attend to his old man's illness.
Zhu Jianchen had never met this titular grandfather since he was born, so naturally he couldn't be said to have a deep affection for him, and as for the little snake, he didn't take it to heart.Two teenagers got together, one was heartless, full of strange and interesting ideas; the other agreed deliberately, moved some inexplicable thoughts, and played together inseparably all day long.
Zilin had a very happy chat with the emperor's grandson, and within a few days they began to call each other brothers.Naturally, he didn't give his real name, so he took "She Yao" as his own name. Zhu Jianchen didn't doubt that he was there, so he called him "Brother She".Zilin was still complacent, and thought: This is right, ordinary people can't see through the mystery of his name.As for that "extraordinary person"... I was annoyed in my heart, why did I think of that heartless and ungrateful person again.
"Brother She...Brother She?"
The little snake came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Where did you just talk?"
"Speaking of the Yan Ji who turned into a wild fox."
"Oh yes, that wild fox has turned into a beautiful concubine, and is going to seduce the rich man's soul..." He has seen many such romantic affairs of ghosts and ghosts in the wilderness, and he likes to use story books as a pastime on weekdays. , so the narration is very familiar and flowing, and the fragrance and delicacy are better than those of ordinary books.
The little snake was talking excitedly when he suddenly saw that the young man beside him had a different expression and his breathing was not as steady as usual, he smiled secretly, picked up the book in his hand, and said with a smile: "How is the story I tell compared to this book? "
When Zhu Jianchen saw the "book" that had been dug out, his cheeks flushed.This book is well hidden, and I don't know how it was dug out.Such gaudy books are naturally not what he should read, and he occasionally gets one, but only flips through it in the middle of the night.The first time he saw the book in the boy's hand, he immediately blushed, feeling ashamed and ashamed, and felt that he had no face to see the person in front of him again.
Unexpectedly, the young man giggled, flipped it open in front of him, and read it with relish.Zhu Jianchen was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word.
The boy read it for a while, lost interest, and commented: "The language is rough and vulgar."
So I don't know what happened, but it has become what it is now.
Seeing the young man teasing himself leisurely, he couldn't help feeling hot, pressed him down, and said viciously: "You are laughing at me!"
"Aiyo!" The little snake was pressed down on the soft carpet by him, still smiling: "Food sex, sex, what's there to be shy about."
"You're not shy, you must be well-informed." The little prince said angrily, and stretched out his hand to hold down the restless young man.
"Compared to you... you are really well-informed."
The noble little prince suddenly felt that a certain aspect of his self-esteem had been challenged, and said angrily: "You, you..." While struggling, there was a soft "woo" sound, his hands were loosened, and he curled up slightly.
The little snake raised her eyebrows lightly, rubbed her legs, and said with a clear smile: "Little prince, you are shy on the face, but you are not ashamed on the bottom."
(harmonious)
The young man was pressed under him, without any of his usual naughty energy, and he obediently let him do what he did, which made him feel a little bit of pleasure.Zhu Jianchen's eyes lingered on the young man's face, seeing that his eyes were lightly closed, full of youthfulness, without any concealment, he suddenly thought of the words that the young man had used to describe the fox monster, what was sultry and beautiful, what was ecstasy, all of them. It is not an exaggeration to use it on this boy.Seeing that his lips are slightly parted, the color of his lips is fresh and his breath is sweet, one can't help but want to taste the taste of those soft lips, whether they are as sweet as this.
Just when his lips were touching, something flew towards him screaming "Mmmm" and knocked him to one side. Zhu Jianchen was startled, but when he looked closely, it was a white and tender doll the size of a fist, which fell headfirst into the boy's arms. In the middle, he desperately scratched his skirt and hummed.
"Hey, you little thing, where did you go?" Zi Lin pinched the Zhiguojing.
When Zhiguo heard this, he groaned a few times, feeling extremely wronged, as if he was accusing the little snake of leaving him alone.
The little snake was a little embarrassed, he really almost forgot that there was this little guy, he quickly comforted it, and then held the Zhiguojing and said: "Get to know him, this is Brother Wang Ye."
Zhu Jianchen looked at the exquisite and lovely doll curiously, and was startled when he saw it turn into a white and round fruit again.
"Hey." The little snake smiled and explained, "This is my spiritual pet. It's not in a good mood." After flicking it with the fingertips twice, seeing that the fruit didn't respond, it had no choice but to put it in the sleeve for the time being. middle.
After this interruption, the charming atmosphere disappeared, and the two of them lost their thoughts.Zi Lin straightened his robes, walked outside, and exchanged feelings with his spiritual pet.
The big ship sailed down the river without hindrance, then turned overland and arrived in Kyoto in a few days.
The group of them were arranged in the other hall, Zhu Jianchen explained everything, and hurriedly entered the palace according to the order.
When Xiao Snake was free, he naturally wouldn't stay peacefully in the annex, wandering around the streets and alleys all day long.There is a lively street outside Yongdingmen, Zilin strolled to the street, waiting for a chestnut cake.Suddenly he let out a soft "Huh" and asked the peddler, "Who lives in that place?"
The peddler followed his line of sight and wiped his hands: "Hey, young master, you can't go shopping there. All the dignitaries in the capital live there."
Zilin replied thoughtfully, took the freshly baked chestnut cake, and strolled back to the other building slowly.
The evil spirit is soaring, I don't know which powerful family has messed with the unclean things.
But he didn't bother to meddle in this nosy business anymore, he squeezed a piece of chestnut cake and tasted it, it was delicious and sweet.
In the past few days, Zhu Jianchen has been in the palace to serve the sick, and he has not seen anyone for three days.After wandering around the capital for a few days, he also felt that it was time to leave, and was about to say goodbye to Zhu Jianchen, and asked him for some money by the way.Unexpectedly, after entering the other hall, after asking, he found out that Zhu Jianchen had returned in the morning, rested for a day before going out, and was invited to the National Teacher's Mansion.
He was playful for a day, and the two of them missed it.
According to Zhu Jianchen's instructions, the maid asked Zilin to wait for him to come back.After Zilin had dinner, he played with Zhiguo for a long time. Seeing the moon was in the sky, Zhu Jianchen was still nowhere to be seen.
These few days, Xiao Zhiguo has been a little bit tempered, probably because he blamed him for leaving her behind last time, so she was a little indifferent to Xiao Snake.
The little snake was a little tired from coaxing it, and it made it show a little bit of a good face after repeatedly promising that it would not be left behind.After the Zhiguo had sucked up the moonlight, he took it back into his sleeve, the little snake was a little sleepy, saw the maidservant serving Zhu Jianchen passing by, and asked, "Has your lord come back?"
The maid shook her head.
Zilin looked to the east, and the strong demonic aura was even stronger than that in the daytime, and one side of the sky was painted like thick ink, which was the Yongding Gate in the daytime.
"Which direction is the National Teacher's Mansion?"
Zilin got an affirmative answer, her heart skipped a beat, and she faintly felt that something was wrong.
Originally thinking that the palace was guarded by divine beasts, it would be difficult to hide dirt, so he was relieved and allowed Zhu Jianchen to enter the palace, but ignored the outside of the palace.
This guy is wearing spirit bones, blood essence is a great supplement to the evil spirits, it seems that he is in trouble.Alas, looking at that demonic aura as thick as ink, it must be that great monster. If he hadn't been affected by this mortal barrier, he might still be able to fight it.Now that I have such a pitiful cultivation base, if I come to the door, I will die, so it is better to avoid it early.
He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't help walking towards the National Teacher's Mansion, thinking that the little prince had treated him well all the way, and it was really not righteous enough to abandon him like this.
After struggling all the way, he stopped in front of the National Teacher's Mansion.The plaque bestowed by the emperor hangs high above the head, and the three characters "National Teacher's Mansion" under the hazy moonlight seem inexplicably ghostly.
Zilin thought to himself: It is a demon, and I am also a demon. I am afraid of what it will do.It turned into a small snake as thick as a thumb, and crawled in along the crack of the door.
☆、Chapter 28
The pavilions, terraces, pavilions, waterside pavilions and corridors in the Naguoshi Mansion are very elegantly arranged.The melodious sound of silk and bamboo can be heard in the distance. Looking at the bright lights, it seems that someone is drinking happily.
Following Zhu Jianchen's scent, Zilin slowly approached the banquet place, as expected, the little prince was drunk at the banquet, his expression blurred and his face flushed.
Seeing that he was insane but not in danger of his life, Zilin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and was thinking about how to rescue him from the mansion when he heard a voice laughing: "Why do you need to hide when we meet each other."
Zilin was startled, the voice seemed familiar, and following the reputation, it was really an old friend.
It's a pity that it's not an old friend, but an old enemy.
Zilin let out a "hey", knowing that his opponent had seen through his whereabouts, so he no longer covered up, and turned into a human form again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Han Ling, I haven't seen you for many years, and I never wanted to meet here."
Speaking of his entanglement with this Han Lingjun, it is really hard to describe.If we go back to the source, this monster belongs to the same family as him, and his real body is also a big python.It cannot be said that eight hundred generations of ancestors have slept in the same nest.It's just that after so many years, there are thousands of snakes and insects in the mountains and forests of Lingnan, and they are the only two who have cultivated human bodies.
For all birds, beasts, snakes and insects, all of them rely on great opportunities to walk on this road, which can be said to be as difficult as reaching the sky.The genus of vegetation is long-aged and pure in heart, so it can cultivate the real body; human beings are born to be the spirit of all things, and they are uniquely blessed by nature when they cultivate immortality.Only they, snakes, insects, and beasts, live and die at night, and their wits are not open. If they want to achieve something, it is not enough.When it comes to the way of cultivation, the best way is to be down-to-earth, step by step, absorb the essence of heaven and earth to refine one's body, and the chance of attaining the Tao is a little bit higher.But not everyone is willing to do this, maybe because they are eager for success, or maybe because of their blood-eating nature, more monsters choose another "shortcut" - to seize other people's essence to help them practice.
The difference between him and this Han Lingjun lies in this.
Since they belong to the same place, there will inevitably be conflicts, plus he broke the "good thing" of the python demon several times, and the two began to disagree.The last time he saw this python monster was more than a hundred years ago. At that time, he fought with this python monster for a long time, and his strength was exhausted. He thought that he would die, but he was rescued by a passing monster Chengfeng, and he expelled the python monster. mountain forest.I haven't seen it for many years, and I never thought that this snake would come to the capital and transform itself into a high-ranking national teacher.
Seeing Zilin at this time, the python demon felt even more complicated.Thinking about being on the same mountain at the beginning, he opened his spiritual wisdom before the snake. When he was cultivating hard, the snake was sleeping; when he was suffering, the snake was still sleeping.The emperor's juice, which had been waiting so hard for several nights, landed in front of the snake's nest, and was swallowed by the little black snake who happened to be hungry and came out to look for food.
Well, he accepts his fate.After practicing hard for hundreds of years, the lazy snake also slept for hundreds of years, and the two of them turned into forms almost at the same time.Since then, when he was cultivating hard, the snake was still sleeping; when he was suffering, the snake...
The snake didn't sleep anymore, he started reading novels instead!
——Anyway, I have never seen him practice seriously.
However, this little snake has an excellent appearance, so he can't help but move a little bit because of his innocence.Snake, by nature, indulges in lust and pleasure.Especially in this way, he can improve his cultivation, and he will become a master in a short time.What's more, this little snake has swallowed the emperor's fluid, and its spiritual power is very pure. If it can be cultivated together, it will be of great benefit to both of them.
He sincerely invited this little snake to have a good time together, but the snake rejected him without thinking about it, the reason being "I don't like you who are evil, charming and crazy".
hateful!
What's even more hateful is that since they don't like this way of cultivation, they will go their own way.But the snake didn't know how to live or die, and ruined his good deeds several times.
Since then, Liangzi has been deeply knotted.
It was hard to catch this little
It was a boy about his age, with delicate eyebrows and cold eyes, and the melting fire light illuminated half of his side face, outlining a tall nose bridge.
Judging from the appearance, the young man is very similar to the Taoist priest, with the same tall and straight figure, and the white clothes are more snowy, but his brows and eyes are not as cold as the Taoist priest, and still have a little youthful spirit and innocence.With his hair tied up and wearing only a thin shirt, he showed a slender figure, and asked, "Are you awake?" His voice was as cold as a human's, not the kind of cold voice he was used to.
Who is this?
He looks like a Taoist priest, but he is not a Taoist priest.This is... a Taoist priest in his youth?
still is……
When I was a teenager... Ah Qian?
As soon as those two words appeared, Zilin was startled and flustered, he lowered his head abruptly, and saw himself in the black-haired silk dress.
By the way, he is in human form now, Ah Qian should have never seen his human form.At this time, he couldn't help but rejoice for his foresight back then, turning into a snake to accompany him.
then……
The little snake couldn't help lamenting in his heart: Why did I just sleep for so many years!What the hell is going on!
After a long time, he suddenly said, "Where is this place?"
The young man calmly stared at the person in front of him, and looked at the changing expression on his face, from shock, panic, confusion to the calm he was trying to maintain, and said calmly, "You have strayed into Jiuxiao's enchantment by mistake. , almost froze to death inside. I happened to pass by and brought you out."
"Jiuxiao's enchantment..." That place is still some distance away from Jiuxiao's mountain gate, and there was no enchantment at all at the beginning.If not, how could they meet the vine demon, and how could he be separated from the Taoist priest?
"Then now..." The little snake looked around, they were in a small cave, looking out of the cave, there was a vast expanse of whiteness outside.Take a closer look, it is snowing heavily and the wind is cold.The wind, wrapped in snowflakes, rushed towards the cave, but it seemed to be blocked by some invisible thing, and it was impossible to enter the cave for half a step.
"A small spell." Seeing him looking at the hole in surprise, the boy said.
Zi Lin nodded, no wonder the cave is so warm.
He looked at the young man and saw that his expression had been calm all the time, and he really didn't recognize him, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.Pretending to meet him for the first time, he asked his name.
The young man lowered his eyes and said lightly: "The surname is Cang, and the single name has the word 'Qian'."
Really...
Zilin didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief, or to raise his heart, and thanked him.
"Ah...cough cough, Cang Shaoxia, thank you for your righteous rescue."
Cang Qian raised his eyes and took a deep look at the person in front of him.
Zilin froze when he saw him, and asked tremblingly, "Young Master Cang?"
"It's nothing." Cang Qian smiled slightly, "I just feel that Your Excellency looks familiar, as if I met you sometime ago."
"Ah... but I don't have much memory. This is the first time I've passed by this place. I think Cang Shaoxia must have misremembered it."
"Hmm... I don't know how to call you?"
"...My surname is She, and my single name is 'Yao'." Isn't it just a snake demon?
"She... Yao..." The young man chewed these two words, nodded and said, "Remember it."
☆、Chapter 25
There was no words for a while, and the cave fell silent.
With Little Snake's usual temperament, when he saw the young Cang Qian at this time, he should have something to say and ask, but because of the previous promise with Yu Qingzi, and the Cangheqin whose life and death are unknown, let He fell silent for a rare moment.
Seeing that he was just staring at the flying snow outside the cave, Cang Qian lowered his eyes to make the fire more prosperous, and said calmly: "Going out is the enchantment of Jiuxiao, and the mountain is blocked by heavy snow. With your own strength, you can't go far. step will be beaten back to its original shape."
The little snake was startled and stuttered, "Original form?"
Cang Qian just let out a soft "heh": "She Yao, the snake demon, you named it so casually, do you underestimate my Taoist ability to distinguish demons too much?"
Little Snake felt his scalp go numb when he heard the words, and subconsciously tightened his body: "Cang, Cang Shaoxia..."
"But I don't know what kind of snake your original body is?"
"I... I'm just a little country snake, I can't talk about any kind..." Seeing that the conversation was going in a strange direction, the little snake said hastily.
I am a little bit certain in my heart that although his spiritual power is weak, he still has hundreds of years of cultivation. Unless he transforms into his original form, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to truly see his original appearance.Cang Qian can see that he is a snake demon at a glance, which is already very powerful, no more.
"It's a pity, but it's not the snake I was looking for." There was a bit of regret in his tone.
Zi Lin lowered his head slightly: "I don't know why the young hero is looking for that snake?"
"Naturally... cut it with a sword."
cut it...
cut it?
Zi Lin suddenly raised his head, horrified for a moment, he forgot to take his gaze away from the boy's face, and just stared at him blankly.
Looking into those cold eyes all the time, his hands and feet went limp and his whole body felt cold because of the sudden killing intent.
"You have to... cut it..." repeated unconsciously.
The young man also looked over, his expression eased when he heard the words, he nodded and said: "Although Jiu Xiao takes it as his duty to eliminate demons and defend the Tao, he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Zilin hurriedly came back to his senses, realizing that he had lost his composure just now, which attracted Cang Qian's attention.
Although there was a hint of comfort in those words, they were extremely bitter to his ears.When I saw Cang Qian for the first time, I was caught off guard. Although I was panicked and uneasy, it was not without a trace of surprise.
That little child who relied on him everywhere at that time has now grown into a high-spirited young man with flying eyebrows.
He couldn't wait to look for the shadow of Ah Qian when he was a child on that person's face, with quiet eyebrows and eyes, jade skin and black hair, vaguely similar to what he looked like back then, but at this moment, it was so strange to him.
cut him...
Naturally, he should be beheaded. If he had any involvement with him, his life would be lost. Anyone would make this choice.
It's just that they were dependent on each other back then, and they are still vivid in my memory. The childish words, the promises I made all my life, but I have really forgotten them all?I tried my best to rescue her in distress several times, and the kindness here has also been forgotten?
The hands hidden in the sleeves were clenched suddenly, the bitterness had turned into grievances, and turned into anger, almost unable to hide it, and stood up abruptly.
The young monk came over after hearing the reputation, his eyes showed a questioning look, Zilin was stared at by his clear pupils, like a deflated ball, full of anger stalked in his heart, unable to attack, and finally just sighed dejectedly.
That's all, I didn't expect to get anything in return for saving him back then.
I knew so...
If he had known this, he would have saved him.After all, the fate of a body is related to the life and death of a Taoist priest.
I am not for the Taoist priests, but for getting rid of this soft smoke and red dust as soon as possible.He said to himself, tried his best to suppress the astringency in his heart, walked to the entrance of the cave, stared at the snow flying outside the cave, and asked, "If you want to leave here, what should you do?" His tone became calm.
The young man's eyes darkened, and he said slowly: "This is the Nine Heavens Protecting Mountain Barrier, and there is a forbidden technique inside, which can eliminate all evil spirits."
Zilin's heart tightened.
But seeing the young man continued: "I just have something to go down the mountain, I can protect you for the next journey."
Zilin thought to himself: If you knew that I was the snake demon, I'm afraid you wouldn't say such a thing.Even though he was unwilling in his heart, he nodded his head when he thought of being trapped in this mountain and not knowing when he would be relieved.He has already made up his mind, as long as he goes down Yashan, he will part ways with Cang Qian and never see each other again.
Thinking of this, he felt that he couldn't wait for half a minute, and urged: "Cang Shaoxia, don't hesitate, let's go."
Cang Qian was surprised: "Your Excellency is in a hurry to leave, but you have something important to do?"
Zilin nodded indiscriminately, and thought: Nonsense, if you stay for a long time, and you expose your old background and chop it off with a sword, then I have no place to cry.
The young man pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, but with your description, I can't protect you well."
Zilin was taken aback.
Cang Qian stretched out his sleeves, and said in a warm voice: "If you can trust me, please also enter my sleeves, I have my own techniques to cover up my aura."
The little snake looked at Cang Qian, feeling suspicious in his heart, seeing his pale face, he hesitated for a moment.Previously, Cangheqin took him to sneak into Jiuxiao and did the same thing, so he knew that his words were true.
But if he changed his original form, wouldn't he be revealing his secrets?
But seeing Cang Qian's expression, he couldn't tell if he was lying to him.Gritting his teeth, he said helplessly, "Okay." Negligence turned into a small snake as thick as a thumb, but it was nothing more than an ordinary snake with brown scales and mottled patterns.
Cang Qian flicked his sleeves, seeing the little snake slowly swimming in, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, he wiped away the little snake's aura with one hand, withdrew the spell that sealed the hole, turned around and plunged into the snow.
When Zilin slipped into his sleeve, he felt familiar. The sleeve was dyed with a faint fragrance of plum, and for a moment he couldn't tell whose sleeve it was.But when he heard the thunder outside, it seemed to be exploding in his ears, he couldn't help but froze, thinking that the young Cang Qian's cultivation base is not as advanced as that of Taoist priests, and it is still a little bit reluctant to break through the barrier of protecting the mountain.
"It's nothing." The young man's clear voice came, although the words were short, they were full of comfort.
Zilin felt a little shy in his heart, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Don't be brave."
The young man just smiled lightly and didn't make a sound.
I don't know how long it took, the thunder gradually faded away, and Zi Lin also felt the ubiquitous coercion lighten, his body came alive, and he swam towards the man's sleeve, asking: "Can you come out?"
Cang Qian stretched out his cuffs, and saw the snake flying out of the sleeves, turning into a young man with picturesque eyebrows, black clothes like water, white and greasy skin, slender waist and limbs, with a seductive look in his gestures and feet.For a moment, it matched with the vague figure in his memory, and the shape became more and more clear.
The young man didn't know it, he looked around for a while, bowed to himself, thanked him in a low voice, and was about to leave, but he didn't even look at him any more.
"Wait a minute." Cang Qian didn't have time to think about it, the words had already blurted out, subconsciously wanting to keep him.
Zi Lin asked: "What else can young man do?"
The boy paused and said, "You...where are you going?"
Zi Lin was taken aback, and thought: Why do you still want to be with me?
He quickly smiled and said: "I have my own affairs, and the young man has other matters, so I dare not delay the young man any longer. Let's meet again by fate." That is the meaning of refusal.
Cang Qian looked at his receding back, didn't move for a long time, fell into deep thought, until his sleeves swayed slightly, a ball of light flooded out, and turned into a small figure the size of a fist, hanging on his cuff, as if about to emerge from the sky. Dive down.It's a pity that the man's calves are short, and as soon as his hands are loosened, he rolls down along the hem of his clothes. When he gets up, he only sees a distant figure from his back.
"You want to find him too?" The young man said to himself, sighed, and took the Zhiguo Jing back into his palm, "If he sees where he is going, he will follow me all the way, let's go."
Zhi Guo snorted twice, then settled down, and was honestly taken back into the sleeve by Cang Qian.
Zilin bid farewell to the boy Cang Qian, and hurriedly left the boundary of Yashan, when he stopped, he had already left Yashan far behind, and the boy disappeared without a trace.
His heart relaxed slightly, followed by a burst of deep melancholy.He is different from Cang Qian, a few years are but fleeting to him.As if overnight, everything has changed beyond recognition.Of the two people he cares about, one has no news of his life or death, and the other regards him as a stranger... No, it's worse than a stranger...
This time it's really all over the place.
He couldn't help but smiled wryly, looking at the surging river under his feet, it was through this ferry that he and the Taoist went ashore and sent Cangqian to Yashan.
The teahouse by the ferry was still there, Zilin chose a table to sit down, and the tea was served by a woman in a coarse thorn hairpin. From her face, she could vaguely see the tenderness of her little daughter back then.Zilin asked her what year it was now, the woman smiled back at him, and the answer she got was as expected, eight years had passed in a flash.
Maybe it was because he already had the answer in his heart, and he was not surprised when he heard it at first. Zilin didn't even move his eyebrows, and was lost in thought while holding a cup of tea.Now he doesn't want to understand why this is so, what matters is what to do next.
He thought to himself: Anyway, when he came out, he was alone, but now he is back alone, so he should be happy and at ease.
Well, where are you living?What is the difference between domestic and foreign?Thinking that even the blood contract has no effect on him, he couldn't help but smile.Looking at the rushing river not far away, his heart moved: in this territory, everything he encountered and saw was old things from the previous dynasty. I don't know if he will see monsters and scholars again when he returns to Lingnan.
Thinking of this, I felt a little bit of anticipation, so I stood up and decided where to go.
Walking to the ferry, his face was a little broken, looking at his hands, the biggest problem now is that his mana is completely suppressed, and he has no troubles, and now it is a huge difficulty for him to go back on foot.
While walking around, I saw a fleet of ships coming slowly from the upper reaches. The majestic big ship headed by it covered the clouds with sails and flags, and there were majestic horns to suppress the sky. It was a grand and magnificent scene.
☆、Chapter 26
The high bed was soft and soft, with hanging tendrils and tassels, and in the brocade quilt lay a dying young man with his eyes closed.The candlelight danced and the light and shadow flickered, illuminating the world in a hazy state.
The maidservant who was watching the night couldn't bear to doze off, and lowered her head little by little.The candle wick went out with a "pop", and the maid fell into a coma.
Zhu Jianchen was lying on the bed, his limbs felt cold, and his heart was burning with irritability.With so many people coming and going during the day, his head was about to burst from the noise, but there might not be a prescription that would work.He couldn't help moaning because of his chest irritability, but the groan that came out was not much louder than the sound of a mosquito.
"It's so pitiful." In the dimness, someone said suddenly, and then a hand was placed on his forehead, and the fingertips were slightly cool, bringing a little comfort to his hot forehead.
"It's... stained with filth..." the voice continued, "Ordinary medicine is not good for you."
Who is there?
"Hey, if I can heal you, why don't you give me a ride on this boat?" The voice stopped for a moment, chuckled, and then rang out, "I'll take it as your agreement."
In a daze, Zhu Jianchen felt his lips and teeth were pried open, and a cool and fragrant breath penetrated into his abdomen along his throat, and the burning fire in his chest was infiltrated by the cool breath, and immediately died down, his limbs and bones also died down. Gradually regained strength.
He tried his best to open his eyes, and in the dim tent, he suddenly saw a young man looking at him with a smile.That young man's skin was as white as snow, his hair was as black as ink, and he was wearing a silk dress embroidered with gold on a black background. He had only two lips, as delicate and fresh as peach petals in March. in front of the lips.
"you……"
The young man hissed lightly, and the sweet breath came to his nose again, making him lose his mind.
"My lord? You're awake!"
The maid did not know when she woke up, she heard the movement, said happily, and lit the candle again, the shallow silhouette was projected on the tent.
The boy turned over and lay down on his side.
"My lord?" The servant girl looked at the tent that had been put down at some strange time, and stretched out her hand to pull it up.
"Wait." The little prince ordered, "I have just taken those few medicines, and I feel much more comfortable. It's just that people come and go at night, and the noise makes me a little upset. You go out too, and let me alone People are quiet and quiet."
The servant girl didn't dare to say more when she heard the words, and left the room in response.
Zhu Jianchen turned his head, looked at the boy who appeared inexplicably, and couldn't help but ask, "How did you get here?"
There are hundreds of guards on his boat, and the guards at the gate take turns to be on duty, yet this young man can get into his bed without anyone noticing, it's really weird.
"I..." The boy raised his hand and scratched his face, and turned over comfortably, "Hey, your bed is quite comfortable." Ever since entering Yashan, he really hasn't slept well on a bed. After a while, now lying on the soft quilt, I don't want to get up.
"You..." Zhu Jianchen was both surprised and amused by this young man's bold act of not treating himself as an outsider at all, and asked him, "Do you know who I am?"
"You?" The young man yawned, "You are an unlucky ghost who has been affected by filth, and I am your savior. Now..." His eyes rolled and his smile was a little sweet, "You have to rest well."
Seeing him smiling, Zhu Jianchen felt that the sweet scent lingering in his nose became stronger, and was about to ask something more, but his eyelids suddenly became heavy, and he fell asleep involuntarily.
A night without dreams.
Zhu Jianchen opened his eyes, moved his hands, and found that he had changed from being weak before, and his spirit was much more refreshed. Everything last night was like a dream.He seemed to have thought of something, sat up suddenly, and looked to the side.The boy didn't realize it at all, as if he was soundly asleep.
For a moment, he didn't know what expression to put on his face.
This young man was able to come and go freely in such a heavily guarded place, and he was able to cure his chronic illness, which was definitely not an ordinary person.What's more, looking at his words and deeds, there is no trace of ordinary people's restraint, let alone the slightest fear, he looks like an alien who is talked about by those servants.
Turning into a little snake last night, I managed to reach the little prince's room with all my might, and my back ached from exhaustion.Now he was sleeping soundly, but suddenly felt itchy nose, which made him sneezed uncontrollably.
"Don't make trouble..." The little snake muttered, wanting to continue to sleep, but unfortunately the itch was so persistent that it made him sneeze several times in a row, and now he really couldn't fall asleep.
Zilin opened his eyes, and saw that the little prince was lying on the head of the bed, holding a brush in his hand, looking at him with a smile.
"Now can you tell me who you are?"
Zilin looked at him, and Zhu Jianchen, who had regained his energy, had a face like a crown of jade, with clear eyebrows and clear eyes, and he had a good appearance.Nodding his head, he said, "Now the filth on your body has been completely removed."
Zhu Jianchen contracted this strange disease inexplicably, and saw countless doctors, but none of them were effective. Unexpectedly, he was cured by this young and strange boy, and he heard the boy explain the cause of the disease in one word, and he was even more determined in his heart. This young man has an extraordinary background, so he guessed curiously: "Where did you come from?"
Zilin gave a casual "hmm" and recognized it.
"I don't know which mountain's expert you are?"
Zilinfang whispered casually from Yashan: "Yashan."
When Zhu Jianchen heard this, he was in awe.At that time, because Emperor Jing was obsessed with alchemy and pursued the way of longevity, the practice of Taoism became more and more popular.And Yashan, like Penglai Yingzhou, became a place for cultivating Taoism, during which monks rarely entered the world.So famous, but quite mysterious.
Zhu Jianchen said in his heart: Sure enough.
Seeing the boy's appearance, he was about the same age as himself, but he was very capable, so he quickly thanked him again.
Zilin waved his hand, yawned again, propped his chin and said, "Anyway, I did it by the way, you don't need to thank me, just give me a ride along the way."
Zhu Jianchen asked him, "Are you going to Kyoto too?"
Zilin shook his head: "I want to go back to Lingnan."
"Lingnan?" Zhu Jianchen frowned. "That's the land of the Southern Man, which is far away from the capital." He looked at the young man and discussed with him: "But it's convenient to go from the capital to Lingnan by taking the official route. You first Come back to Beijing with me, and then find someone to take you off."
Zilin smiled: "Okay, save people to the end, and send Buddha to the west. Anyway, Kyoto is very lively, so it's okay to go for a stroll."
Zhu Jianchen was surprised when he heard the meaning of his words: "Why, I haven't recovered from my illness yet?"
"Naturally, I have driven away the filth from your body, but your body is born to attract monsters."
Zhu Jianchen looked horrified: "What monster? I have never seen it since I was a child."
The little snake thought to himself: Isn't there a snake demon in front of you?Shaking his head secretly, this little prince didn't know that he had a spiritual bone, which was the most coveted by evil spirits, and he didn't know how he grew to such a size safely.
He said to Zhu Jianchen, "When did you get this strange disease?"
The little prince recalled: "About a few days ago, I suddenly felt chills all over my body. At first I thought it was a common typhoid fever. The doctor accompanying me on the boat prescribed a few medicines, and I got better after taking it. But After a few hours, I felt more and more cold, my whole body had no energy, and then I became groggy."
As if his body still remembered the icy cold that penetrated into the bone marrow, Zhu Jianchen couldn't help shivering.
"A few days ago, did you go to a strange place?"
"I stayed on the boat and didn't go anywhere." After thinking about it, he added, "It was a hot day, and I only went to the deck to cool off for a while... Ah, I remembered, the wind was indeed a bit cold at that time , I just thought it was cool at night, so I went back to the room without staying longer." Thinking about it carefully, he really felt a sudden cold on his body at that time.
The little snake scratched his cheek, and said: "Maybe it will be that time, if the filth is not on the boat, it is on the river."
"Jiangshang..."
"Perhaps you met some unlucky drowned."
"There are so many people drowning on the river every year, and why is it at that time?" Zhu Jianchen suddenly thought of the private conversation of the maidservant and servant that day, thinking, "I just passed by Jiangling that day."
That section of the waterway was full of wars in ancient times, could it be that it is really a lonely ghost who died in battle?But it's not like he hasn't been to such places for more than ten years, so why was he safe and sound at that time?
"Maybe there is something protecting you." Little Snake said, "Or someone. You princes and grandchildren, don't you all like to recruit some high-ranking people by your side?"
Zhu Jianchen said with a smile: "If there were someone as tall as you, I wouldn't be infected with that filth." With a move in his heart, he suddenly bent down, took out a box from the bedside cabinet, opened it, and said, "Could it be this one? This is it Mother left mine."
Zilin became interested, turned over, and leaned over to see that there was a piece of beautiful jade in the box, but unfortunately a corner was missing.
"I've been wearing it since I was a child, but a corner was accidentally broken a few days ago." He felt extremely distressed, and put the jade pendant by the bedside for storage.
Zilin picked up the jade pendant and touched it carefully: "There is some residual spiritual power. It seems that the jade pendant is indeed broken, giving those evil things a chance."
Zhu Jianchen said nervously, "What should I do?"
The little snake said: "With me by your side, what is there to be afraid of? When you arrive in Kyoto, you go to the Huguo Temple to find an eminent monk and make you an amulet."
Only then did Zhu Jianchen feel relieved.
☆、Chapter 27
Zilin stayed on the boat and was treated as a distinguished guest. He ate and drank well, and couldn't help being very satisfied, secretly boasting about his wit.That day when he was at the ferry, he saw this majestic and magnificent ship berthing on the shore, a group of people rushing up and down, and invited doctors and doctors from the town to come in and out, so he couldn't help but be careful.
Thinking that the owner here is either rich or noble, and also in trouble, he turned into a small snake and touched the boat. Seeing that the young man was full of filth and was fed bowl after bowl of soup, he silently sympathized with him for a while.
Seeing that the young man was of high status, he thought that if he could be saved, it would not be difficult to ask him for some money for the journey, so he came to the rescue.
This snake demon is hundreds of years old, but he is incomprehensible, turned into a young man of the same age as the little prince, and they get along quite harmoniously.The two chatted for a few days, and Zilin figured it out. Zhu Jianchen went to the capital to serve the sick.
Speaking of Emperor Jing, he was considered a virtuous emperor when he was young. He worked hard to govern and worked diligently in government affairs. He never thought of old age, believed in gods and Buddhas, and sought longevity.Thinking about it, from ancient times to the present, the most fearful thing for those who have some power is that one day they will lose this supreme power. Therefore, in their twilight years, people believe in ghosts and gods even more fanatically than ordinary people.
Probably because he took too much pills and his body collapsed, so he summoned the princes and grandchildren from all over the country to attend to his old man's illness.
Zhu Jianchen had never met this titular grandfather since he was born, so naturally he couldn't be said to have a deep affection for him, and as for the little snake, he didn't take it to heart.Two teenagers got together, one was heartless, full of strange and interesting ideas; the other agreed deliberately, moved some inexplicable thoughts, and played together inseparably all day long.
Zilin had a very happy chat with the emperor's grandson, and within a few days they began to call each other brothers.Naturally, he didn't give his real name, so he took "She Yao" as his own name. Zhu Jianchen didn't doubt that he was there, so he called him "Brother She".Zilin was still complacent, and thought: This is right, ordinary people can't see through the mystery of his name.As for that "extraordinary person"... I was annoyed in my heart, why did I think of that heartless and ungrateful person again.
"Brother She...Brother She?"
The little snake came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Where did you just talk?"
"Speaking of the Yan Ji who turned into a wild fox."
"Oh yes, that wild fox has turned into a beautiful concubine, and is going to seduce the rich man's soul..." He has seen many such romantic affairs of ghosts and ghosts in the wilderness, and he likes to use story books as a pastime on weekdays. , so the narration is very familiar and flowing, and the fragrance and delicacy are better than those of ordinary books.
The little snake was talking excitedly when he suddenly saw that the young man beside him had a different expression and his breathing was not as steady as usual, he smiled secretly, picked up the book in his hand, and said with a smile: "How is the story I tell compared to this book? "
When Zhu Jianchen saw the "book" that had been dug out, his cheeks flushed.This book is well hidden, and I don't know how it was dug out.Such gaudy books are naturally not what he should read, and he occasionally gets one, but only flips through it in the middle of the night.The first time he saw the book in the boy's hand, he immediately blushed, feeling ashamed and ashamed, and felt that he had no face to see the person in front of him again.
Unexpectedly, the young man giggled, flipped it open in front of him, and read it with relish.Zhu Jianchen was dumbfounded and couldn't say a word.
The boy read it for a while, lost interest, and commented: "The language is rough and vulgar."
So I don't know what happened, but it has become what it is now.
Seeing the young man teasing himself leisurely, he couldn't help feeling hot, pressed him down, and said viciously: "You are laughing at me!"
"Aiyo!" The little snake was pressed down on the soft carpet by him, still smiling: "Food sex, sex, what's there to be shy about."
"You're not shy, you must be well-informed." The little prince said angrily, and stretched out his hand to hold down the restless young man.
"Compared to you... you are really well-informed."
The noble little prince suddenly felt that a certain aspect of his self-esteem had been challenged, and said angrily: "You, you..." While struggling, there was a soft "woo" sound, his hands were loosened, and he curled up slightly.
The little snake raised her eyebrows lightly, rubbed her legs, and said with a clear smile: "Little prince, you are shy on the face, but you are not ashamed on the bottom."
(harmonious)
The young man was pressed under him, without any of his usual naughty energy, and he obediently let him do what he did, which made him feel a little bit of pleasure.Zhu Jianchen's eyes lingered on the young man's face, seeing that his eyes were lightly closed, full of youthfulness, without any concealment, he suddenly thought of the words that the young man had used to describe the fox monster, what was sultry and beautiful, what was ecstasy, all of them. It is not an exaggeration to use it on this boy.Seeing that his lips are slightly parted, the color of his lips is fresh and his breath is sweet, one can't help but want to taste the taste of those soft lips, whether they are as sweet as this.
Just when his lips were touching, something flew towards him screaming "Mmmm" and knocked him to one side. Zhu Jianchen was startled, but when he looked closely, it was a white and tender doll the size of a fist, which fell headfirst into the boy's arms. In the middle, he desperately scratched his skirt and hummed.
"Hey, you little thing, where did you go?" Zi Lin pinched the Zhiguojing.
When Zhiguo heard this, he groaned a few times, feeling extremely wronged, as if he was accusing the little snake of leaving him alone.
The little snake was a little embarrassed, he really almost forgot that there was this little guy, he quickly comforted it, and then held the Zhiguojing and said: "Get to know him, this is Brother Wang Ye."
Zhu Jianchen looked at the exquisite and lovely doll curiously, and was startled when he saw it turn into a white and round fruit again.
"Hey." The little snake smiled and explained, "This is my spiritual pet. It's not in a good mood." After flicking it with the fingertips twice, seeing that the fruit didn't respond, it had no choice but to put it in the sleeve for the time being. middle.
After this interruption, the charming atmosphere disappeared, and the two of them lost their thoughts.Zi Lin straightened his robes, walked outside, and exchanged feelings with his spiritual pet.
The big ship sailed down the river without hindrance, then turned overland and arrived in Kyoto in a few days.
The group of them were arranged in the other hall, Zhu Jianchen explained everything, and hurriedly entered the palace according to the order.
When Xiao Snake was free, he naturally wouldn't stay peacefully in the annex, wandering around the streets and alleys all day long.There is a lively street outside Yongdingmen, Zilin strolled to the street, waiting for a chestnut cake.Suddenly he let out a soft "Huh" and asked the peddler, "Who lives in that place?"
The peddler followed his line of sight and wiped his hands: "Hey, young master, you can't go shopping there. All the dignitaries in the capital live there."
Zilin replied thoughtfully, took the freshly baked chestnut cake, and strolled back to the other building slowly.
The evil spirit is soaring, I don't know which powerful family has messed with the unclean things.
But he didn't bother to meddle in this nosy business anymore, he squeezed a piece of chestnut cake and tasted it, it was delicious and sweet.
In the past few days, Zhu Jianchen has been in the palace to serve the sick, and he has not seen anyone for three days.After wandering around the capital for a few days, he also felt that it was time to leave, and was about to say goodbye to Zhu Jianchen, and asked him for some money by the way.Unexpectedly, after entering the other hall, after asking, he found out that Zhu Jianchen had returned in the morning, rested for a day before going out, and was invited to the National Teacher's Mansion.
He was playful for a day, and the two of them missed it.
According to Zhu Jianchen's instructions, the maid asked Zilin to wait for him to come back.After Zilin had dinner, he played with Zhiguo for a long time. Seeing the moon was in the sky, Zhu Jianchen was still nowhere to be seen.
These few days, Xiao Zhiguo has been a little bit tempered, probably because he blamed him for leaving her behind last time, so she was a little indifferent to Xiao Snake.
The little snake was a little tired from coaxing it, and it made it show a little bit of a good face after repeatedly promising that it would not be left behind.After the Zhiguo had sucked up the moonlight, he took it back into his sleeve, the little snake was a little sleepy, saw the maidservant serving Zhu Jianchen passing by, and asked, "Has your lord come back?"
The maid shook her head.
Zilin looked to the east, and the strong demonic aura was even stronger than that in the daytime, and one side of the sky was painted like thick ink, which was the Yongding Gate in the daytime.
"Which direction is the National Teacher's Mansion?"
Zilin got an affirmative answer, her heart skipped a beat, and she faintly felt that something was wrong.
Originally thinking that the palace was guarded by divine beasts, it would be difficult to hide dirt, so he was relieved and allowed Zhu Jianchen to enter the palace, but ignored the outside of the palace.
This guy is wearing spirit bones, blood essence is a great supplement to the evil spirits, it seems that he is in trouble.Alas, looking at that demonic aura as thick as ink, it must be that great monster. If he hadn't been affected by this mortal barrier, he might still be able to fight it.Now that I have such a pitiful cultivation base, if I come to the door, I will die, so it is better to avoid it early.
He thought so in his heart, but he couldn't help walking towards the National Teacher's Mansion, thinking that the little prince had treated him well all the way, and it was really not righteous enough to abandon him like this.
After struggling all the way, he stopped in front of the National Teacher's Mansion.The plaque bestowed by the emperor hangs high above the head, and the three characters "National Teacher's Mansion" under the hazy moonlight seem inexplicably ghostly.
Zilin thought to himself: It is a demon, and I am also a demon. I am afraid of what it will do.It turned into a small snake as thick as a thumb, and crawled in along the crack of the door.
☆、Chapter 28
The pavilions, terraces, pavilions, waterside pavilions and corridors in the Naguoshi Mansion are very elegantly arranged.The melodious sound of silk and bamboo can be heard in the distance. Looking at the bright lights, it seems that someone is drinking happily.
Following Zhu Jianchen's scent, Zilin slowly approached the banquet place, as expected, the little prince was drunk at the banquet, his expression blurred and his face flushed.
Seeing that he was insane but not in danger of his life, Zilin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and was thinking about how to rescue him from the mansion when he heard a voice laughing: "Why do you need to hide when we meet each other."
Zilin was startled, the voice seemed familiar, and following the reputation, it was really an old friend.
It's a pity that it's not an old friend, but an old enemy.
Zilin let out a "hey", knowing that his opponent had seen through his whereabouts, so he no longer covered up, and turned into a human form again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Han Ling, I haven't seen you for many years, and I never wanted to meet here."
Speaking of his entanglement with this Han Lingjun, it is really hard to describe.If we go back to the source, this monster belongs to the same family as him, and his real body is also a big python.It cannot be said that eight hundred generations of ancestors have slept in the same nest.It's just that after so many years, there are thousands of snakes and insects in the mountains and forests of Lingnan, and they are the only two who have cultivated human bodies.
For all birds, beasts, snakes and insects, all of them rely on great opportunities to walk on this road, which can be said to be as difficult as reaching the sky.The genus of vegetation is long-aged and pure in heart, so it can cultivate the real body; human beings are born to be the spirit of all things, and they are uniquely blessed by nature when they cultivate immortality.Only they, snakes, insects, and beasts, live and die at night, and their wits are not open. If they want to achieve something, it is not enough.When it comes to the way of cultivation, the best way is to be down-to-earth, step by step, absorb the essence of heaven and earth to refine one's body, and the chance of attaining the Tao is a little bit higher.But not everyone is willing to do this, maybe because they are eager for success, or maybe because of their blood-eating nature, more monsters choose another "shortcut" - to seize other people's essence to help them practice.
The difference between him and this Han Lingjun lies in this.
Since they belong to the same place, there will inevitably be conflicts, plus he broke the "good thing" of the python demon several times, and the two began to disagree.The last time he saw this python monster was more than a hundred years ago. At that time, he fought with this python monster for a long time, and his strength was exhausted. He thought that he would die, but he was rescued by a passing monster Chengfeng, and he expelled the python monster. mountain forest.I haven't seen it for many years, and I never thought that this snake would come to the capital and transform itself into a high-ranking national teacher.
Seeing Zilin at this time, the python demon felt even more complicated.Thinking about being on the same mountain at the beginning, he opened his spiritual wisdom before the snake. When he was cultivating hard, the snake was sleeping; when he was suffering, the snake was still sleeping.The emperor's juice, which had been waiting so hard for several nights, landed in front of the snake's nest, and was swallowed by the little black snake who happened to be hungry and came out to look for food.
Well, he accepts his fate.After practicing hard for hundreds of years, the lazy snake also slept for hundreds of years, and the two of them turned into forms almost at the same time.Since then, when he was cultivating hard, the snake was still sleeping; when he was suffering, the snake...
The snake didn't sleep anymore, he started reading novels instead!
——Anyway, I have never seen him practice seriously.
However, this little snake has an excellent appearance, so he can't help but move a little bit because of his innocence.Snake, by nature, indulges in lust and pleasure.Especially in this way, he can improve his cultivation, and he will become a master in a short time.What's more, this little snake has swallowed the emperor's fluid, and its spiritual power is very pure. If it can be cultivated together, it will be of great benefit to both of them.
He sincerely invited this little snake to have a good time together, but the snake rejected him without thinking about it, the reason being "I don't like you who are evil, charming and crazy".
hateful!
What's even more hateful is that since they don't like this way of cultivation, they will go their own way.But the snake didn't know how to live or die, and ruined his good deeds several times.
Since then, Liangzi has been deeply knotted.
It was hard to catch this little
