After binding the investment system, I began to cultivate the empress

Since that New Year, Qinghe County has sold more firecrackers every year than other counties until today, because people in the town said that the Ying family was beset by the Nian beast.

Some adults would scare children by saying, "If you don't behave, the Nian beast will come and eat you."

Zou Yongfeng was obviously frightened. He looked around and said in a low voice:

"A few months ago, I passed by the Ying family's old house and saw a very large black shadow."

"It's a bit like the Nian monster that adults used to scare us with when we were little. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, my family quickly moved."

"Nian Beast?"

Li Mo frowned, feeling that the little hand in his palm was getting colder and colder. He rubbed it gently, but it couldn't be warmed up.

Li Mo shivered from the cold.

He glanced over and found that Ying Bing's eyes were a little vague and out of focus, and there was no trace of blood on his fair face.

Long-forgotten memories suddenly began to attack Li Mo.

It's a small piece of ice.

When she first came to the Li Mansion as a child, she locked herself in her room all day long, only coming out occasionally to eat. Occasionally, when she heard a loud noise, there would be some fear in her eyes. Her expression at that time was the same as it is now.

It's not just cold, but also a sense of emptiness.

It was extremely cold in the Li Mansion during that period, and even the snow melted later than in other places.

"Bingtuozi, let's go home."

"Hmm...Okay."

Li Mo greeted Zou Yongfeng, said goodbye to the family of three with a smile, and said that he would come to their house for a full moon banquet after the baby was born. Then he turned around and went home with Bingtuozi.

Looking back, I saw a lifeless ruin on the bank of Qinghe River, which was so cold and desolate that it was out of place in the New Year.

......

As soon as she got home, Ying Bing had dinner and went back to her room. She never came out again, although she whispered to Li Mo that she was fine and just needed to have a good rest.

But while eating, Li Mo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

What exactly happened to the Ying family back then?

She was silent and he didn't say much.

This scene made Gu Xueqin feel a little strange:

"Son, what happened to you two?"

Li Mo shook his head: "No, she and I went out today and ran into Fengzi."

"Did he say that he saw something in the winner's house?" Li Dalong asked.

"Dad, do you know?"

"What does your father do? He came to the county government office to report a case that day and reeked of alcohol. He must have been drunk."

Li Dalong was annoyed: "Fengzi is like a madman. I took people to check, and there was not even a ghost there."

Was Fengzi drunk and seeing things? But that wouldn't mean he had to move...

In fact, in the afternoon, Li Mo had already used the divine eyes to check and found that there was nothing special in Fengzi's recent experience.

He didn't ask his father whether he saw anything that day. Li Dalong had talked about what happened that day several times at home after dinner. Besides, it was too late when his father took people there.

The one who has truly seen everything is Bingtuozi.

Li Mo looked up and saw that in the room opposite, not only was there no candlelight, there wasn't even a faint light.

Bingtuozi is not practicing?

.....

midnight.

The door of the dark room was gently opened.

Classmate Li, who had been a thief for many days, quietly entered the room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Ying Bing lying on the bed. Her sleeping face was not peaceful, and her brows were tightly furrowed.

There was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead and her hair stuck to her snow-white neck.

She...had a nightmare?

The Eye of Destiny is activated.

[Name: Ying Bing]

【Age: 17】

【Root Bones: Taiyin Moon Phoenix Body.】

[Realm: Observing the five spiritual orifices.]

[Destiny: Red (Bearing the Emperor's bones, Xuanbing as his destiny, Qiushui as his spirit, and possessing the appearance of a phoenix)]

[Evaluation: Fate is full of calamities, but it can always turn misfortune into fortune. At this time, its feathers are still young, but when the wind and clouds change, it will surely hang high in the nine heavens and ten earths, and descend upon the six directions and eight wastelands.]

【Recent experience: haunted by nightmares.】

Li Mo tried to release the moonlight that could calm the mind, but it couldn't soothe the girl's frown.

“What should I do?”

Little Li Tiancai frowned, and suddenly thought of the second level of Fenghuang Ming Tianze, where the gods and wills were in harmony and the spirits were blended.
