Cherry Blossoms Upon a Wintry Sword - Chapter 59
Since it is to be a bait, it should naturally be in a place where it is easier to seduce the hook.
That night, Xuan Qing and Rui greeted him during the day and brought Lin Rufei into the palace. They didn’t know what was happening, and they were a little worried. Lin Rufei comforted for a while, and then they reluctantly agreed. Riding in a carriage into the palace, Lin Rufei saw the palace at night. It looks a little different from the daytime scenery. Under the vermilion eaves, there are red palace lights hanging everywhere. Sometimes there are maids or guards walking along the road, which is not as quiet as Lin Rufei imagined.
Now that there is a skeptical object in the heart, and Lin Rufei is a bait, the place to live is naturally as close to the target object as possible. Adhering to this idea, Lin Rufei’s rest room was arranged next to the three princesses. Lin Rufei, who lived in the room, asked Bai Jinglun whether he knew about it, and Xuan Qing shook her head to deny it.
“Can’t say that he doesn’t know.” Xuan Qing explained with a smile. “After all, it’s people outside who want to enter the palace. The emperor certainly knows, but I didn’t tell him that much, I just told him that it might happen in the palace at night. There are clues, so you need to borrow it all night and look for something. “
Lin Rufei thinks about it too, Bai Jinglun loves the three princesses so much, if you know that Xuan Qing suspects her and the great prince, she will be very unhappy. Xuan Qing was very clever and avoided this crucial issue directly.
It is very slow in summer. After the sun goes down, the sky shows a light blue, and when you look away, you can see the gorgeous fire clouds in the sky.
Xuan Qing and Lin Rufei were sitting in the house, with two cups of warm tea in front of them. Lin Rufei said, “Master Xuanqing might go to rest first. It’s still early, and I’m afraid that thing won’t come over.”
Xuan Qingdao: “Isn’t it a bit boring for Mr. Lin to sit alone in the house?”
Lin Rufei said: “Boring?” He was a little surprised that Xuan Qing’s thoughts were so delicate, then he laughed, “No, I have liked quiet since I was young, and I have been used to being alone, Master Xuan Qing need not worry.”
On Kunlun Mountain, instead of down the noisy mountain, he prefers to stay alone on the top of the snow-covered mountain, wrapped in a thick winter coat, burned a pot of charcoal, holding two or three scrolls, so unknowingly, again one day. Although sometimes I feel lonely, but as time goes on, I get used to it. Unfortunately, my brothers and sisters never looked at him, and often carried him down the mountain.
Xuan Qing said to Amitabha and spoke a few words to Lin Rufei before he got up and left the house, leaving Lin Rufei alone.
After going out, Xuan Qing entered the room not far from Lin Rufei, and when she went in, she saw Rui sitting idly on a chair during the day, and she was drinking boringly in front of her. During the day Rui Jianxuan came back without raising his head: “You can rest assured that you are putting the little Lin family boy in the house alone?”
Xuan Qing laughed: “What’s not to worry about?”
“If I’m not mistaken, there is no sword qi on the little boy’s body.” Rui narrowed his eyes during the day. “This little thing like the porcelain is accidentally broken, don’t you feel bad?”
Xuan Qingdao: “Porcelain?”
During the day, Rui looked up at Xuan Qing, and used her eyes to ask what was wrong with her statement.
“The prince said that Prince Lin is porcelain?” Xuan Qing smiled. “The monk blame the poor eyes and lived for so many years. The monk has never seen such a hard porcelain.”
During the day, Rui understood the hidden meaning in Xuanqing’s discourse. He put down his wine glass and Shen said, “What the **** is this son of Lin?”
When Xuan Qing didn’t answer, he said Amitabha, sat across from Rui in the day, closed his eyes and began to recite the scriptures.
During the day, Rui was laughed at by Xuan Qing, and his fingers were on the table. “The monk and I have been friends for so many years. Why is my heart facing the little boy who has only known me for a few days?”
Xuan Qingli ignored him and regarded him as air.
During the day, Rui sighed deliberately, and put his head in front of Xuan Qing, almost touching the tip of his nose, and said, “The monk is still ignored.”
Xuan Qing half-opened her eyes and only said a word. The wanton Prince of Eight Realms immediately shut up, and he calmly said, “There is no secret, the origin of the monk and Lin Gongzi has to be said a hundred years ago.”
In this case, Rui Ben should have been unbelievable during the day, but the monk could not lie, so everything he said was true.
Lin Gongzi is only in his twenties. How could a monk have a century-old relationship? During the day, Rui couldn’t understand, but his interest in Lin Rufei was a little stronger.
Lin Rufei was sitting alone in the room waiting for the dark, and the tea in front of him was almost drunk. He called the palace man outside the house to change the pot of new tea, and asked what time it was.
Gongren answered with an eyebrow pleasing, saying that Shishi just passed.
“Oh, it’s too late.” Lin Rufei was curious. “Will the guards stand out all night?”
“Yes,” Gongren whispered, “but around the hour or so, a group of guards will be on duty at night. What else do the boys need?”
“No more, go on.” Lin Rufei waved his hand.
After nightfall, it was dark and finally not so hot, but it was not too cool. After all, the sun was burning on the ground for a day, and the hot steam was steaming, making people a little dull. After Lin Rufei simply washed, she went to bed, squinted her eyes, and rested, and the light on the candlestick beside the window flickered with the wind’s uncontrollable light, until a sudden strong wind blew the fire directly. .
This is also convenient for Lin Rufei, he no longer has to get out of bed and turn off the lights. Lin Rufei opened her eyes and stared into the dark room. Accompanying the darkness, there was still silence, but the silence was not absolute, and the sound of the windows being gently shaken by the wind was still faintly heard. I wonder if it was Lin Rufei’s illusion, he seemed to capture a wonderful subtle sound, as if someone had gently torn something from another thing. It wasn’t crisp, it was sticky and unpleasant. But if you want to listen carefully, you will find that this is nothing but your own illusion. In your ears, you can only hear the whirling wind and the swaying wooden windows.
Lin Rufei always felt this feeling a little familiar, and after a moment of careful consideration, he finally found when he had such a feeling. When he saw the picture of the third princess Mu Mou in his childhood, he I once had such a strange sense of disobedience
If you want to describe this sense of disobedience, it is as if it is close to your chest, and it is pasted with a wet and icy thing, and that thing is still making strange sounds, which makes people involuntarily hang upside down.
The first time Lin Rufei gave birth to this feeling, he turned over from the bed and sat up. He carefully observed the windows and the room, trying to find out the source of the sound. But at that time, the intermittent small sound was really difficult to find the source. Lin Rufei took a moment to measure it, got up and went to the window to squeak the window, and completely isolated the sound of the wind.
The room was completely quiet, and the strange sound became a lot obvious, but when Lin Rufei realized where the sound came from, his movement froze.
It seems that Xuan Qing is right. For that thing, he is really special. He only stayed in the palace for one night, and the thing was found.
Lin Rufei took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and looked at the beam above his head. At this moment the house was dark, everything was not clear, and so was the beam. However, Lin Rufei quickly noticed the strangeness on the beams … it was too dark there. Unlike ordinary darkness, the roof beams are like two black holes opened to absorb all the light around them. The two holes are large and small, showing a vaguely humanoid appearance. Above, silently gazing at Lin Rufei under the beam.
When Lin Rufei looked at them, she gave birth to a horrible sense of looking at the thing. When Lin Rufei saw this scene, he wanted to cry out for the blue sky next door, but as soon as his words overflowed his throat, the thing turned into a huge net and covered Lin Rufei’s body. Lin Rufei’s sight was deprived in an instant. He wanted to shout, but was blocked by something, and the whole man took a few steps and fell directly to the soft collapse.
“Tianjun.” I heard that night, exactly the same voice as Gu Xuandu, the murmur of the creature was low, as if cursing, one after another, Lin Rufei crying, “Tianjun … … Tianjun … “
Lin Rufei pushed back in pain, he was about to suffocate, the thing pry open his mouth stiffly, and put something into his mouth.
“Tianjun …” The murderer seems to only say this sentence, repeating it repeatedly, but with different emotions.
Lin Rufei finally realized what this thing wanted to do. He actually wanted to run along his mouth and squeeze into his body stiffly. His mouth was supported to the maximum. Don’t say asking for help, not even whimpering. Come out, only a few snoring. If this thing comes in, it is estimated that his end will be similar to the unconscious three princesses next to him. In such a dangerous moment, Lin Rufei forced himself to calm down. He took a deep breath and no longer tried to break free from the control of the evil creature. Instead, he touched the Xu Mi Ring on his thumb and struggled from the Xu Mi Ring. Here, I took out something that was already prepared.
It was a paper crane. When Lin Rufei released the ring, he made a sharp tweet. The shadow that pressed on Lin Rufei shook like a fright. Lin Rufei rejoiced and thought it was afraid. However, who knows that the dark shadow called “Tianjun”, but this voice brought some resentment and anger, as if he did not understand why Lin Rufei would do such a thing.
Lin Rufei stared at his eyes, and heard the grievance from the tone of the monster. Is this thing wronged? He was almost suffocated by it … Heiying has entered Lin Rufei’s throat, and he will continue to slide downwards. Xuan Qing, who has not been moving beside him, finally arrives late. He came with him, and Sleepy eyes sparse daytime Rui.
When they entered the room, they saw the scene in front of them and took a breath, and saw Lin Rufei’s weakness slumped on the bed, and a black unknown thing attached to the body, which suppressed Lin Rufei’s struggle, I was trying to stuff something into Lin Rufei’s mouth.
During the day, Rui responded extremely quickly, and pulled out the blade on the waist side, and waved a sword at the thing. The white sword qi was submerged in the shadow, but it was like the sinking of the sea without any reaction. Seeing that Lin Rufei’s breath was getting weaker and weaker, Xuan Qing walked to the table a few steps, picked up the flames on the table, and blew a sigh of relief, and the bright firelight filled the whole room.
The shadow was illuminated by the fire, and his body flickered a few times before escaping from the window. Seeing this in the day, Rui chased directly. Xuan Qing was not in a hurry, but walked to the bed and checked Lin Rufei’s condition first.
Lin Rufei eased from suffocation, and coughed fiercely against the edge of the bed. Because of the shadow movement just now, the corners of his lips were cracked, and a few strands of bright red blood were slowly dripping down his chin . Xuan Qing touched the silk scarf to help Lin Rufei gently wipe off the blood on her lips, worried: “Lin Gongzi, are you okay?”
Lin Rufei shook her head: “Nothing serious, isn’t Master Xuanqing following with me? That thing doesn’t seem to be too afraid of sword energy.”
“No need,” Xuan Qing said slowly, “I know what that thing is.”
Lin Rufei said: “What is it?”
Xuan Qing didn’t answer, but just looked at Lin Rufei silently, the compassionate eyes contained the kind of compassion that Lin Rufei couldn’t understand.
Lin Rufei is unknown, so frowned, “Master Xuanqing what does this mean?”
“It’s nothing, I just feel that Lin Gongzi has suffered.” Xuan Qing said.
Lin Rufei touched the wound on the corner of his mouth with his finger, and hissed, indifferently waving his hand: “It’s just a minor injury, it doesn’t interfere.”
“Someone will feel distressed after watching it.” Xuan Qing stood up. “Can Lin Gong stand up? By the day of Rui’s time, there should be results.”
Lin Rufei naturally had no problem. That thing did not do anything to hurt him, so in addition to a little injury on the corner of his mouth, he was more frightened. His courage was not small, and he eased over after a while, followed Xuan Qing to the outside, but did not expect that daytime Rui, who was supposed to chase the shadow, stood at their door, his face ironed, very ugly.
“Why is the Prince here?” Lin Rufei said strangely. “Are you lost?”
During the day Rui shook her head and looked at Xuan Qing: “Did you already know?”
Xuan Qing folded her hands and said Amitabha.
“Smelly monk.” Rui took a sip on the ground and pointed at Xuan Qing and cursed, “You **** surely knew that.” He pointed to Lin Rufei again, “You are not afraid that thing is really to Lin Ru Fei hands on? “
Xuan Qing said flatly: “The monk has his own share.”
“Okay, proportionate.” Rui said during the day. “Good and bad things are all up to you. I’d like to see how you explain to my brother later.” He snorted coldly.
Xuan Qing made a please gesture.
Daytime Rui turned around and went straight into the room where the three princesses were located. Lin Rufei didn’t understand what awkwardness he was having with Xuan Qing until he got in and sat down, waiting for Bai Jinglun, he learned from the daytime Rui ’s mouth. What exactly happened just now.
During the day, Rui did not chase the black shadow. He chased out through the window and followed the black shadow around the palace. Who knew that in the end, he went into the place of the three princesses. During the day, Rui thought the black shadow was the same. It was against the princess, and hurried into the house, but no one knew that as soon as he went in, he saw the black shadow slowly attaching to the princess’ body, so he and the princess were one, and the princess was still ruddy, as if not smell. At this point, even if Rui is stupid during the day, he should understand.
Looking at Xuan Qing without any surprise, it seemed that he had expected everything. Rui was so angry during the day, obviously he felt that Xuan Qing had put himself together.
Lin Rufei heard the words and looked at the three princesses who were still in a coma on the bed and sighed: “So the prince meant that all these were made by the three princesses?”
Daytime Rui said, “Even if she didn’t get it out, she would definitely have something to do with her.” He whispered, “The girl has grown up and has her own idea, and I can’t manage it if I’m a shame.” The meaning is that he no longer intends to cover up the three princesses, but even if he wants to cover up, I am afraid he cannot cover up. .
Lin Rufei looked at Xuan Qing again and saw that his expression remained unchanged. He seemed to be indifferent to the accusation that Prince Tianrui was angry. He wanted to ask Xuan Qing what, but footsteps sounded outside the door. I saw Bai Jinglun rushing in and pushed in, saying, “What’s the matter?” A coat, he could see that he was very concerned about this matter, and came in a hurry.
During the day, Rui ignored the questioning eyes of Bai Jinglun, and refused to speak calmly. In the end, Xuan Qing sighed and stepped forward, whispering what happened tonight. The more Bai Jinglun heard the more ugly his face, but said nothing. But his appearance was obviously extremely angry.
“So you mean, that thing was made by Mu Mou?” Bai Jinglun said coldly.
“Yes.” Xuan Qing answered.
“Then why didn’t she wake up ?!” Bai Jinglun angered. “And you didn’t find anything strange from her at first!”
“Holy anger rests,” Xuan Qingdao said, “The reason why we can’t find out is that this thing is special.”
Bai Jinglun said: “What a special law?”
Xuan Qing walked to Bai Jinglun and whispered in his ear. Bai Jinglun narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head and ordered the deceased person to let them bring some of the palace’s crickets.
Rui Rui smiled next to him in the daytime: “Oh, Master Xuanqing finally figured out a way?”
Xuan Qing didn’t care, but smiled slightly at Rui during the day.
A few moments later, a few crickets came in, and Bai Jinglun pointed with his hand and said, “Go and pull the princess off the bed.”
Several of them looked at each other, wondering what the emperor suddenly commanded it to mean, but still obeyed the order and walked to the princess’s collapse, carefully pulling the sleeping princess off the bed. The princess leaned softly in the bosom’s arms and couldn’t stand at all, but under the command of the emperor, several puppets still grabbed the princess’ body from different directions, forcing her body upright.
The fire in the room was bright, and the princess held her head down and was lifted by several people, like a weak puppet.
At first Lin Rufei didn’t understand what Xuan Qing wanted to do in this matter. After he carefully observed for a while, he suddenly realized the violation. It is this sense of contradiction that makes people feel involuntary.
I saw the princess forced to stand up behind, because the candlelight left a black shadow, but this shadow was not like a princess at all, but like a group of ink stains smudged on the paper, showing no rules. on the ground.
Although they didn’t understand, a few of them were able to see clearly, the shadow behind the princess was not hers at all.
Bai Jinglun’s face was iron blue, and he waved his hand to let the idler wait to retreat. When everyone was out, he turned to Xuan Qing and asked, “What the **** is going on?”
Xuan Qing said: “The princess’s shadow was swallowed up by something else.”
“Engulf?” Bai Jinglun said, “Speak more carefully.”
Xuan Qing whispered slowly: “The princess was suddenly in a coma, but there were three souls and seven souls, and there was no strange poison in her body. This was strange at first. I didn’t think of this at first. Later, it was only after the Prince Lin was attacked. One thing. “
“What’s the matter?” Lin Rufei asked.
Xuan Qing said: “I once saw a book in Nanyin Temple, which described a miracle method, that is, to control a person’s shadow to control that person, just like a cricket being lifted. I read this book. After the book, I found this method unrealistic. After all, shadow is not a soul. How can I control people? I went to my brother and asked, who knows that my brother said that for people, shadow is also important. This thing is born. They were brought along, like organs, hands and feet. Once they were missing, something would happen. “He said, sighing, and said,” But my brother also said that there are very few people in the world who can control the shadows. You won’t be able to pick one out, so don’t worry too much. “
Suddenly something happened to the princess and she was in a fainting. She had been lying in bed all these days, and no one would notice any difference in her shadow.
“So who controlled her shadow?” Bai Jinglun understood, and his anger was suppressed in his tone. He was obviously reluctant to believe that the matter was voluntary by the three princesses, but felt that she was harmed by someone, “Mou Mu has been very good since she was a child. She hasn’t met any messy people. You also said that there are very few people who can control the shadows. How can she be one of them? “
Xuan Qing sighed: “I hope so too, I’m afraid …”
With a wave of Bai Jinglun’s hand, he stopped Xuan Qing from saying anything. He said, “Don’t be afraid, you just need to find the truth.”
Xuan Qing nodded.
Now that the matter has reached its source, although the specific cause has not yet been figured out, as long as it follows the context, it will soon be over. Bai Jinglun originally wanted Xuan Qing to investigate overnight, but who knew Xuan Qing had an excuse to say that he couldn’t continue tonight, and the rest could only wait until tomorrow night.
Seeing Xuan Qing’s resolute attitude, Bai Jinglun had no choice but to give up.
Just when a few people left the scene, the atmosphere inside the room wasn’t too good. Rui didn’t make any noise from day to day during the day. Seeing his expression, he didn’t plan to join in anymore, just wanted to watch the show. Xuan Qing sighed more today than he sighed in a month, but there was nothing he could do but coax Bai Jinglun first and give him some time to relax.
Lin Rufei rubbed the corner of her mouth beside her, thinking how to explain this strange wound to the maid.
After Bai Jinglun left, Rui also got up and left in the daytime. Xuan Qing sent Lin Rufei back to the house. Lin Rufei said, “Is Master Xuan Qing still asleep?”
Xuan Qing shook her head and tossed for such a night, the sky was almost bright, how could he fall asleep.
“Since you can’t sleep, why not chat with me?” Lin Rufei said.
Xuan Qingdao: “It’s okay.” He didn’t worry about putting Lin Rufei alone in the room without finishing the matter. In case that thing comes again, it won’t be a second.
Lin Rufei said, “Since that thing has found me, Master Xuanqing promised me …”
Xuan Qing was stunned and laughed, “It turns out that you are still waiting for me here. The origin of my relationship with the Bai family has to start from ten years ago, when I happened to pass by Dajing …” Smiled and fell into the memory.
The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: Someone dare to tear the corner of my little leek! !!
Lin Rufei’s expressionless: Who tore it?
Gu Xuandu: …………
Lin Rufei: Dumb?
Gu Xuandu: _ (: з 」∠) _
