Xianjun has a disaster

Suffering such a fright, Lu Ren almost begged Ji Xueting to take him away from this place and stop caring about the maggots in the empress temple.It's a pity that Ji Xueting, as an inspector, encountered the Chen family's ghost, and it was his duty to investigate the case, and as an adjutant, he should be with him both emotionally and rationally.

What's worse, probably because of entering Youling and being hindered by the miasma, even if the documents were burned in the heavenly court, the documents returned were lacking in ink and words, making it difficult to understand.In this way, even if he wanted to secretly discuss with his superiors and beg for more people to cooperate in investigating the matter, it would not work.

"This is really irresponsible. There is no way to contact the higher-ups in Youling. Wouldn't it be bad if any god is in danger here?"

"Hey, Ji Xianguan, you said that we should leave first, and then go to the Niangniang Temple after investigating the situation outside? Why do I feel that this temple and this person are so strange?"

"Oh, I'm not saying I'm afraid of insects, poisonous monsters. The main reason is that I don't feel right here. To be honest, since I entered this village, my eyelids have been twitching..."

Na Lu Ren huddled in the corner, muttering, whispering to Ji Xueting for a long time, but he didn't realize that the eyes of Tianqu who was in the same room looking at him gradually became cold.

Ji Xueting tilted his head slightly, his eyes paused for a moment on the wriggling snake shadows in the shadows.

Then, just as Tianqu was about to hang Lu Ren to death and replace the noisy and useless thing with his own distraction, Ji Xueting very "coincidentally" called out: "Tianqu Shangxian."

"Ash?"

The hostility and impatience in Tianqu's heart immediately dissipated without a trace, only joy and anxiety overflowed his chest.

"I always feel that there seems to be something wrong with the water tank in this room. It's just that my cultivation level is not enough. I didn't see anything wrong after looking at it before, but just to be on the safe side, can I ask Shangxian to check it out for me? "

Ji Xueting pointed to the corner of the stilted building, there were indeed several water tanks with a size of half a person standing there abruptly.In fact, in this kind of room in a stilted building, it is quite normal to put a few water tanks in it to prepare the water needed for daily use, but since Ji Xueting took the initiative to speak, Tianqu would never be negligent.

He stood up and put Xianli Ning on his fingertips, lifted the lid and looked into the water tank. After such a rough inspection, the water tank was just an ordinary water tank, and the clear liquid inside was also ordinary clear water.

only……

Tianqu looked down at the calm water, but his pupils narrowed slightly when he looked at the reflection on the water.

In Tianqu's field of vision, the reflection on the water was not the white-haired fairy that Ji Xueting, Lu Ren, and everyone else were usually looking at.

What emerged from the water was clearly a monster.

The dark and ferocious snake head grinned, revealing its slender and deadly fangs.

And across the water tank, a certain man hidden in the body of the immortal has serious features, vaguely remnants of the soul of the young master of the Yan family 3000 years ago.

【"Do you think you can really occupy this body for a long time? If you let him know that you are going crazy again, and the madness is even worse than before, do you think he will feel more trouble?"】

The real soul image screamed angrily in the man's body.

【"To shut up."】

【"Seeing you will only annoy him. He has said many times that he has no love or hatred for you. But you still pester him and make him so annoying."】

["It's better than you keep saying that you want to compensate him and protect him, but you're just crazy all day long, and you're out of your mind and causing headaches, Immortal Tianqu." With a vicious sneer, 【"Don't forget, it's really useful for him to control this body these few days."】

【"you--"】

【"You are just a lunatic, Tianqu Shangxian, you don't know anything, you don't know his habits, you don't know how to restrain your delusions, you don't even know how to serve someone, but I know, and I I can do it. So let me do it, everyone is crazy, but at least I won’t show it, I will control myself well, and I will stay by his side.”]

【"But you are Yan Ci, that disgusting Yan Ci, even if he has no hatred or love for you, once he really knows it's you—"】

……

"Tianqu Xianjun, is there really something wrong?"

Ji Xueting's voice suddenly came from Tianqu's side. It turned out that Ji Xueting saw Tianqu standing straight beside the water tank, staring at the water surface for a long time with a pale face, so he couldn't help feeling vigilant, and hurried forward together come and see.

"Just some disgusting stuff. You don't have to look at it."

After a very short delay, Tianqu directly covered the water tank.

Then he stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the edge of the water tank, only to feel a sudden vibration at the bottom of the water tank. Hidden in the bottom of the water, the invisible water Gu screamed in pain, but it was still under Tianqu's particularly domineering fairy power. Under the crushing, it turned into mud.

Tick-tock slime seeps from the rim of the tank and lid.

Ji Xueting glanced at Tianqu suspiciously: Those water Gus are the most common gadgets in Youling, they are born in stagnant water by nature, he has actually seen it before, but thinking about it They were harmless, so they ignored them. The reason why I asked Tianqu to read them again just now was to save a colleague who was thinking about it because of too much pressure.

He didn't expect that, with the honor of Tianqu Shangxian, he actually crushed those water Gu so seriously.

This is like asking an elder who protects the mountain to look at the flowers, but the other party is serious and crushes a small nest of ants in the bonsai with the power of a sword fairy.

However, although Ji Xueting had already noticed that something was wrong with Tianqu, he instinctively didn't want to cause trouble, so naturally he didn't investigate carefully.

"Thank you Shangxian."

He thanked softly.

Then he got another creepy stare from the man.

"This is what I should do."

Tian Qu said quietly.

Ji Xueting didn't dare to talk to him anymore, so he quickly found another excuse to meditate and adjust his breath.

Tianqu greedily traced Ji Xueting's shadow on the ground with his eyes. Under the long sleeves of his robe, another snake slowly circled out, gently nibbling at his flesh and blood.

Ashue.

My Ashe.

I won't upset you anymore, I'll just stay by your side obediently, protect you well, and I'm already satisfied.

Tianqu...or, "Yan Ci", murmured to himself in his heart.

The three of them had different thoughts, but they sat up until midnight without incident.

In Ji Xueting's memory, at night in this secluded mountain, the miasma was like a layer of misty iron cover, covering the whole mountain forest thickly.

But this night, the bright moonlight falling from the window completely broke Ji Xueting's impression.

He didn't see the slightest barrier from the miasma at all. Outside the window, there was only a piece of moonlight shining like a silver cloth, and there was a huge swollen moon hanging high in the air.

Not long after, there was another "creak" and "creak" sound from the stairs of the bamboo building.

Ji Xueting looked at the thin gap between the grass curtain and the ground, only to see a thick shadow gradually stop at the door of their room.

It was Grandma Wu who came as promised to invite Ji Xueting and his party to participate in the ceremony and worship at the Empress Temple.

Ji Xueting waited until midnight for this reason, and he couldn't wish for it, so he immediately lifted the straw curtain.

"Grandma Wu, I'm sorry to trouble you—"

But when the straw curtain was completely lifted, revealing the person outside the door, even Ji Xueting couldn't help being startled,

Of course, that person is still Grandma Wu, but at this moment, Grandma Wu is completely different from Bai Rili.

The woman's black and red face was covered with thick white powder, she looked like a dead person who was hanged upside down and bled out, while her robust body was wrapped in a strange loose robe.

Not to mention the suspicious black and red blood splattered everywhere on the white robe, the most noticeable thing is the abdomen of Grandma Wu—it can also be seen through the robe that Grandma Wu’s abdomen is now towering high, like A woman who is pregnant in October is average.

"Don't be afraid, nobleman, this is just a sacrificial dress."

Perhaps sensing Ji Xueting's surprise at this time, Grandma Wu immediately explained.

"Tonight's Blood River Sacrifice is to reward the gods and pray for Empress Lvyun, and Empress Lvyun is in charge of the production of the world, so we will dress up like this."

"I see."

Ji Xueting made a look of sudden realization.

But the next moment, he heard Granny Wu say to them: "By the way, although the nobles are men, if they want to participate in the Blood River Festival and go to the Niangniang Temple, they will naturally have to change into sacrificial attire. I just hope that the nobles don't mind." .”

After finishing speaking, Grandma Wu clapped her hands, and Wu Qing walked over cautiously with several white robes and another package in her arms, and put those things in front of Ji Xueting.

Grandma Wu said that she was afraid that Ji Xueting and others would mind, but in fact, given the current situation, even if Ji Xueting and the others minded, they still had to follow the so-called "do as the Romans do" and honestly change into that weird robe.

The style of the robe is weird, but the texture is ordinary cotton. Ji Xueting checked again and again and found that there is nothing wrong with it, so he and Tianqu Luren reluctantly changed it into it.

But when they changed their clothes and walked out of the room feeling uncomfortable, the matter was not over yet.

"Ah, I almost forgot about this. This is the most important thing for our Blood River Festival. If you want to enter the Empress Temple to please Empress Lvyun, you can't do without these dolls."

While speaking, Grandma Wu untied the bundle in her arms, and carefully took out three palm-sized babies with pink skin and even a little mucus and blood on the surface, and then she handed the babies in front of the three of them.

"If you want your wishes to come true, you must wear this."

Grandma Wu said earnestly, she was giggling, showing the sparse yellow teeth on the gums.

"This, what is this?"

Lu Ren couldn't help taking a step back, but Tianqu took a step forward, vaguely blocking Ji Xueting, preventing him from taking over the baby.

However, Ji Xueting didn't seem to notice what Tianqu meant.He directly reached out, grabbed the baby from Grandma Wu's hand as if nothing had happened, and then handed one to Lu Ren.

"Thank you, mother-in-law, for your hard work. This...is really amazing craftsmanship."

It turned out that the baby was not a real living thing, but a pendant carved from wood——

It's just that the carving of that thing is indeed a bit too lifelike, which makes people feel so uncomfortable.

"Sure enough, noble people have vision. This is Zhusheng doll. If you hadn't saved my Xiaoqing, ordinary people would not be able to wear such a good thing."

Seeing Ji Xueting's calmness, Grandma Wu burst into laughter and said repeatedly.

"Hurry up, put this doll on quickly, the Blood River Festival is about to begin!"

After finishing speaking, Grandma Wu signaled Ji Xueting and the others to hang the doll on their bodies.And from what she said, it's actually better to wrap the Zhusheng doll around her abdomen, but Ji Xueting and the three of them are men, if they don't want to, they can hang it on the front of their clothes.

Under Grandma Wu's eager urging, Ji Xueting put the doll on the skirt of her shirt with a smile without changing her face.

Lu Ren stared at the doll with a broken face, but secretly endured it and put it on.

As a result, after the two put them on, something went wrong on Tianqu's side.

"Why, is this nobleman unwilling to wear it? Without the blessing of the birth doll, you can't enter the empress temple in our village?"

Granny Wu stared at Tianqu, whispering with a strange expression.

Ji Xueting turned his head to the side, only to realize that Tianqu was actually holding the doll with the tip of his sword.

The white-haired fairy stared coldly at the living wooden baby, as if he was about to cut the thing on the tip of the sword into pieces in the next second.

"Oh, this, this..."

Although he didn't know why Tianqu Xianjun suddenly had such an annoyed look, Ji Xueting still stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my brother is the young master of the family, and I'm afraid he will inherit the great power in the future." Family business, so I'm afraid I'm not used to wearing these small items."

After finishing speaking, he turned around, took off the doll as if he was in a hurry, and said in his mouth: "Do you not understand the principle of doing as the Romans do? And you like your wife so much, so what if you wear a doll?"

Saying this, he put the doll on Tianqu.

Seeing that Tianqu was also wearing the bloody, soft and delicate birth doll, Grandma Wu's face brightened suddenly.

"That's right! You are noble, you know the goods, and you are affectionate, come, come, I will take you to the Empress Temple to worship..."

Grandma Wu was still nagging, but Tianqu seemed to have never heard of it.

He stared blankly at Ji Xueting - the moment Ji Xueting turned around before, he replaced the so-called Zhusheng doll in his hand with Ling Cangjian's spike.

It is clear that he is a fairy who practiced the way of swordsmanship, but he did such trivial things, but he did it easily, as if nothing happened.

That day, there was only an inconspicuous stone bead hanging on the blue fringe of the Lingcang sword, but it was turned into a "baby" by Ji Xueting's tricks, and then hung on Tianqu Xianjun by Ji Xueting himself. chest.

"Ash."

Tianqu's lips parted and his heart beat like a drum.

【"It's okay, this thing is just some kind of lure, and it shouldn't be something obscene in itself. As long as we keep our minds on it, it won't grow into something strange."】

Ji Xueting said hastily in a secret voice.

Grandma Wu was still urging, Ji Xueting had no time to say more, took a look at Tianqu, and took Lu Ren and Grandma Wu downstairs together.

The author has something to say: Tianqu: I will not change clothes for the next ten years.
