ecstasy

In the cold moon on the lonely mountain, a pack of wolves is running around.

Lingshan devours the spiritual energy of all things in the world, and moves across thousands of miles to the north, only the side sealed by Prince Qing's Mansion suppresses the movement.Overnight, vines crawled all over the restricted iron seal, and the lush vegetation seemed to be hiding from something. They desperately tried to climb over to Prince Qing's Mansion, but they were turned away.

Prince Qing's Mansion has been busy with listening to books and receiving Baili Hongzhou yesterday.

Gu Tingshuang left the banquet last night and went back to the house, checked the little wolf's injuries and fell asleep.

The next day, when he got up to get dressed, he saw the white and bright scene outside the window, and then he realized that charcoal fire had been sent to the room at some point, five charcoal basins were burning, the windows were half open, and the ice layer melted away. , dripping down the window sill into the water.

There is already heavy snow outside the window.

Gu Tingshuang held the tent hook, gently picked it up, and hooked the nearby wheelchair over.

The small golden bell hanging from the hook of the tent jingled, and the sound was quickly heard by the servants outside.Hulu and Lingjiao asked: "Has Your Highness got up?"

Gu Tingshuang said, "Yes."

The two brothers walked in with the toiletries in their hands and helped him to wash and dress him.Both of them were wrapped up thickly, their hands were red from the cold, Hulu half knelt down to put on shoes for him, and Lingjiao was holding a mirror and a comb on one side.

Gu Tingshuang suddenly said: "Go out and have a look, there are people in the yard."

Let go of the spiritual consciousness, apart from the sound of wind and snow after this night, there is also the sound of footsteps crushing and smashing the chaotic snow.

Gourd and water chestnut were both taken aback, but they obeyed his order, after a little hesitation, they put down the things in their hands and went out to have a look together.

The university in the courtyard was knee-deep, and it was too early, and the two brothers only had time to clean a few feet in front of the door.There was still a thick snowdrift in front of the gate of the mansion. Someone pushed the door, but did not push it.

The red lacquered door was half open and half closed, revealing a thin figure.

Ning Shiting held the red umbrella in one hand, and pushed it in front of the mansion gate with the other hand. The ring of the mansion gate was also covered with ice, and his breath floated up, forming a white mist.

"Young master! You came so early today, it's not yet dawn. But it was too cold last night, did you not sleep well?"

Hulu rushed over to help him open the door, and Lingjiao used a small spell to clear the snow under his feet.

Ning Shiting looked a little tired, and his hair was tied hastily, not tied as carefully as when he came out.

It's so cold today, he came here wrapped only in a silver-white cloak.He usually listens to books by his side, but this time there was no one around him, and his figure seemed a bit thin when he came alone.

Ning Shiting said: "After waking up, I couldn't sleep. Maoshi Fenlu said that his legs hurt from the cold, and a corner of the back of the medicine shed was crushed. I came here quickly after I finished dealing with things over there, to see how drinking ice is. Is he up now?"

Hulu said: "Your Highness just woke up and is still washing up."

The servant took his umbrella and walked inside to meet him.

Ning Shiting doesn't think of himself as an outsider.As soon as he came in, he approached Gu Tingshuang's bedroom and asked softly, "Yin Bing, did I come in?"

Gu Tingshuang heard his footsteps early in the morning, and since he appeared at the gate of the courtyard, he hastened his movements, quickly put on his clothes, buckled his belt, and tried his best not to look so messy.

He straightened his back, sat on the wheelchair, and said lightly: "Come in."

But as soon as Ning Shiting entered the door and took a look at him, a smile appeared on his lips: "I didn't come in time, I scared away all the gourd water chestnuts and delayed your grooming, if your son doesn't mind, let me come. "

Gu Tingshuang followed his line of sight and looked down, and found that in the midst of her haste, a lapel button was buttoned wrongly, and it was pinned crookedly in a small bag that protruded from the edge in a hole that did not belong to it.

Before he had time to speak, Ning Shiting had already walked in, half knelt down in front of him, stretched out his hand to undo the buttons one by one for him, and then tidied them up carefully.

He is meticulous and dexterous, and he put on the gloves before coming here. Luoshui mist sticks to the skin, almost transparent, and its existence can hardly be seen.The fingertips were pale, with a tinge of frozen red at the joints.

As soon as Ning Shiting got closer, his fragrant breath came towards him, brushing against his cheeks warmly.

I can only hear my heart beating like a drum.

That afternoon, the feeling of the merman's fingers touching the top of the hair came again, and the beating of the heart was never as obvious as it is now, which made people feel flustered.

She even wondered if Ning Shiting would hear it at such a short distance.

The more I think about it, the more chaotic my mind becomes, my heartbeat becomes uncontrollable, and my breathing becomes chaotic.

Gu Tingshuang involuntarily held her breath and lowered her eyes.The roots of the ears were also a little reddish in bewilderment.

He said angrily: "Let the servants deal with these things—"

Ning Shiting gently interrupted him: "Okay, I am in Prince Qing's Mansion, and I am also your son. Your Highness, don't be restrained."

She got up again and looked down at him with a smile: "Your Highness, come with me, and I will comb your hair again."

He walked behind him, pushed the wheelchair over to the table, and bent over to pick up the comb.

The mermaid's warm and gentle voice went around his head again at this time, and rang in his ear: "I'll let you comb into a normal look, okay?"

Ning Shiting held his hair very lightly, Gu Tingshuang was stiff all over, and didn't know what to say, so he held back for a long time and said, "It's up to you."

The room fell silent for a while.

Ning Shiting didn't talk much, and Gu Tingshuang was also used to being silent.

It's just that under such circumstances, the corners of Gu Tingshuang's mouth twitched, and she still felt that she should say something.

He kept a motionless posture and let Ning Shiting hold it, but looked outside: "You came so early today, is it snowing a lot outside?"

"It's the biggest snow this year, Your Highness."

Ning Shiting said, "The fairy ginseng tree behind Your Highness's house is about to be crushed by the snow. I'll come over to have a look, and be careful that the corners of the roof tiles will be smashed. It's not good if it collapses and hurts people. Now let the gourd and Take a look at the water chestnut and repair it. Your Highness don't practice today, just follow me to the study, it's not safe here."

Gu Tingshuang was surprised when he heard the words, and subconsciously let go of his spiritual sense to investigate.

There is indeed an old fairy ginseng tree behind his house, which has been growing there for many years without disturbing anyone.

Because it is too high, the branches are luxuriant, which does not affect the appearance. On the contrary, it will become a good place to escape the heat in the hot summer.

The spiritual consciousness reached the slightly dry and cold trunk, sneaked into the spiritual consciousness of the old tree, and caught a faint trace of pain and fear: the wind and snow were shaking its branches and leaves, and the cold penetrated into the branches, which was extremely painful.And the snow falling on the crown of the tree at the top was already crumbling, and it was about to fall down with the heavy branches.

Following that direction, the spiritual sense went down into the room, and peeked into a weak spot in the corner of the eaves—because the rainwater flowed through it all the year round, that piece of wall skin was damp and loose, and even the entire wall was weaker than other walls in all directions. Be more vulnerable.

In a split second, when Ning Shiting held the comb and combed it gently, Gu Tingshuang had already checked out everything he said and confirmed that it was correct.

"How did you know?"

Ning Shiting was still combing Gu Tingshuang's hair earnestly, but when he heard him ask such a question suddenly, there was some doubt in his tone.

Last night, Xizhou had the heaviest snowfall in autumn this year. The area off the northern coast of Xizhou directly caused a heavy snowstorm. Countless spirit beasts died and their aura was greatly damaged.

Some people say that this is a sign that the Snow Demon is gradually becoming stronger.

This was also the day in his previous life. Ning Shiting clearly remembered that the Baicao Garden was completely destroyed by the wind and snow overnight, and several guards and maids who were desperately protecting the elixir and spiritual materials all entered their bodies in the wind and snow. Lingering sick bed, died without treatment.

And when it was close to noon that day, the old ginseng tree behind the main courtyard of Shizi Mansion was also crushed by the wind and snow, smashing a corner of the house, and the collapsed place happened to be Gu Tingshuang's bedroom.

Gu Tingshuang himself had one hand broken.

The memory of ten years has been stuffed with too many things, Ning Shiting tried his best to recall, but he didn't remember that there was such a thing. It was not until midnight when he heard the whimpering wind that he suddenly remembered this day.

He didn't sleep all night, because he didn't remember the exact day in his previous life, he only remembered the strange omen of the wind and snow that night.When the sky just changed and the most intense snow fell, he took people directly to the Baicao Garden, evacuated all the people, and then rushed to Shizi's Mansion in a hurry.

Ning Shiting hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's snowing heavily today, and many places have collapsed. I'm worried about Your Highness, so I'm here to investigate..."

"You're lying." Gu Tingshuang said.

With spiritual consciousness, all the emotional changes and thought ups and downs of the people around him cannot escape his eyes.What is the attitude and whether he is lying or not are all things that are clear at a glance.

And in this matter, even if he didn't use his spiritual sense to detect, he could still see something strange: it's not unusual for Ning Shiting to point out exactly which tree it is and where it might hit, so that's why Very strange.

Thinking about this, Gu Tingshuang felt that the people behind her were at a loss for words, but instead of asking questions in a hurry, she just looked away and changed the subject casually: "Is that all?"

He stretched out his finger and tapped the cold wheelchair handle twice: "The energy of the snow demon is getting stronger and stronger. For the sake of combing my hair for you, I can also tell you one thing, that thing Now go to the Lingshan Mountain to absorb the spiritual power of all things in the Lingshan Mountain. If you want to continue to compete with the Immortal Chief's Mansion, you can do it as soon as possible, otherwise the further you go, the harder it will be to clean up."

Ning Shiting was startled again.

Gu Tingshuang Bingxue is smart. Since her previous life, she has often been able to see through things from the perspective of a spectator.

In the previous life, the biggest conflict between Ning Shiting and the Immortal Mansion was one of killing Su Yue, and the other was to solve the matter of the Snow Demon under Gu Feiyin's instruction, and make up for it, so he didn't suffer from the Immortal Emperor. severe punishment.

At that time, Gu Feiyin told him, "Su Yue, if he can't be used, just kill him." If he really killed him, there would be a big scene, and he would be responsible for all the crimes.

Gu Feiyin left him and himself clean, and only said to the outside world that the poisonous shark is vicious and difficult to control.He was at fault for being ineffective in disciplining the people around him, but what was at fault was Ning Shiting's "self-assessment", so if he was asked to solve the Xizhou Xueyao's troubles, even if he risked his life, he would have to pay for his merits.

But at that time, Snow Demon had been in Lingshan for a long time, and it was no longer something he could easily solve alone.

Gu Feiyin's expression was in front of his eyes: "Snow Demon, you are not easy to kill alone, but if I give you three thousand elite soldiers, it is not easy to kill?"

"Snow demons like races with similar auras. It just so happens that you are the North Sea Snow Shark, and your aura comes from rain and ice."

He said: "But according to the prince's order, Ting is willing to be a bait to make up for killing the fairy elder."

……

Ning Shiting withdrew from the memories and said softly: "Okay, I will remember."

Gu Tingshuang once again heard something different in his words: "Why, you don't intend to interfere in this matter?"

Ning Shiting smiled: "It's about like this. The Snow Demon is strong. Our Qing Palace is not strong enough now. If we rush forward, we will only damage ourselves. We can appease the people and just watch from the sidelines."

He has never done anything to the Su family in this life, and Gu Feiyin will not persecute him on this matter again.

He will not die for him.

He wanted to survive, survive to see with his own eyes the moment Gu Feiyin died in front of him.

"It turns out that you also know that you are afraid of death and that this matter is dangerous. It's not worth your life to put on a show in front of my father."

Gu Tingshuang commented, "It's pretty smart."

Ning Shiting couldn't hold back his smile again, and softly agreed: "Yes, I'm afraid of death."
