How many times rose flowers

Jixue probably didn't expect her guess to be wrong, but when she thought of what she said just now, she immediately felt very embarrassed, and she had the stance that she would be able to get in if she made a hole in the ground in a second.

"Jixue?" Hua Ci watched her face change rapidly, and said.

"I misunderstood you, I'm sorry." After saying this, Jixue quickly fled the house with what little face she had left, leaving Huaci alone in place.

At some point outside, it began to rain lightly.Jixue originally planned to stay overnight in the disciple's dormitory not far away, but now it was raining, and it was night again, and he couldn't see the way clearly, so he had to give up.

Walking alone in the rain, with the howling cold wind, Jixue instinctively wanted to tighten the coat on her body, but found that she ran out in a hurry without putting on the coat at all.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Jixue sneezed in the cold.

Now she regrets that she ran out casually regardless of her care.She didn't understand why she concluded that Ah Jiu had other intentions based on just a few words, just as she didn't understand why she ran out without authorization after discovering that it was a misunderstanding.

Wait, that seems to be my own house?

Thinking of this, Jixue, who was drenched all over, decisively decided to go back to the house to take a look. If Ah Jiu had already left, she would just stay in the house.

Walking to the front of the house, she pushed open a crack in the door and knocked in, but Ah Jiu was not there.Only then did Jixue change out of her wet clothes with peace of mind, and took another shower, finally it wasn't so cold anymore.

After washing up, she put out the candlestick and lay down on the bed.But always toss and turn and can't fall asleep.

As soon as he closed his eyes, His Royal Highness Ninth Princess huddled pitifully into a ball and wept.Uh, although Jixue didn't seem to have seen her cry, she even cried once in front of her in a particularly embarrassing manner.

Since you are worried, why don't you go to her?A voice in my heart said.

Jixue couldn't bear the bewitching voice, hesitated again and again, put on her robe and habitually put on her sword—now she took the Liuyun Sword, opened the door and walked to the side hall not far away, knocked Door.

It was not Hua Ci who came to open the door, but Luo Yifeng.

"Jixue, what happened to Shiliu?" Luo Yifeng was obviously awake, and the expression on his face was indescribable.

"No, she's fine. I'm sorry, I knocked on the wrong door." Only then did Jixue remember that although Huaci also temporarily lived in the side hall, it seemed to be the one on the east side.The rain was so heavy that she couldn't tell the direction, so she walked to the west room.

She went to knock on the door of the east side hall again.After waiting for a long time, no one opened the door.

"Ah Jiu, I'm coming in." Jixue pushed the door open and entered, only to find that the room was empty.

Where did Ah Jiu go?Why is she not in the side hall?Jixue was confused by a series of questions, and she looked out of the house worriedly.It was dark outside.

"Plop, plop—" she seemed to hear her heart beating violently.

She thought of the rose flower that could transmit sound.Didn't Ah Jiu say that you can use roses to contact her?Jixue took out the rose flower that was always on her body and said a few words to the rose flower, but no one answered.

Jixue turned around and saw that the rose flower used for sound transmission in Huaci was placed in the vase in the side hall right now.

A sense of powerlessness sets in.Perhaps because he hadn't had a good rest, Jixue, who was always in good health, felt dizzy.Her eyes gradually became blurred, and she couldn't remember how long it had been like this, she only felt ringing in her ears, and passed out in the room in the side hall.

……

In the dream, the forest is deep, the breeze is blowing, the branches and leaves are swaying, evoking the fragrance of leaves.The sun shines on the trees, casting mottled shadows.On the swing by the side of the tree, the girl was wearing a hibiscus purple dress, holding a booklet in her hand, and was reading it earnestly.

Sitting in a small window reading the Book of Changes, I don't know how long the spring will be.Unconsciously, it was dusk, the girl raised her hand to cover the afterglow of the setting sun, and was about to leave.

Suddenly, the aroma of peach blossoms came from the tip of the nose, and a peach blossom in full bloom was in front of my eyes.

"A Nian?" The girl took the peach branch with a smile, and looked at the girl who was standing beside her at some time.Ah Nian was wearing plain white clothes, her eyes were crescent-like, she was really pretty.

"Li Bai, I knew you were here as soon as I guessed it. Hurry up, Madam is urging you to go back." Ah Nian said.

"Okay." Li Bai nodded, and the two walked hand in hand on the forest path, the setting sun elongated their backs.

As he was walking, Ah Nian suddenly felt as if there was nothing in his hands, and turned his head to look, but Li Bai had disappeared.

"Li Bai—where are you?" Anian shouted in a long voice.

No one answered.There are only echoes left in the woods.

There was a sudden darkness in front of my eyes, and I couldn't hear any sound.Ah Nian felt that she was about to suffocate.A pair of invisible hands strangled her neck, making her unable to move.

At this moment, the dream woke up.Jixue wiped the cold sweat off her face, wondering how she could have such a dream.Ever since she returned to Xiuyuanmen, she has never had any nightmares, but today...does this have anything to do with the last dream?

It is also puzzling.

Jixue simply closed his eyes again.Her mind was full of those bizarre dreams and the scene where she found Ah Jiu missing, and she couldn't fall asleep.

There was no sleep all night, until when it was daylight, there was a knock on the door.

Jixue quickly tidied herself up, put on a new moon-white robe, and opened the door.

"Gan Tang, Commander Luo? You were the ones who sent me back to my room yesterday? Thank you very much." Jixue bowed.

"You're welcome." Gan Tang waved his hand, Luo Yifeng who was standing beside him didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, looking in a bad mood, as if he was still troubled by the matter of Rose Pearl.

"Where did Shiliu go?" After a long silence, Luo Yifeng asked.This sentence is an affirmative sentence, which means that Luo Yifeng already knew that Huaci was gone, and he just came to ask Jixue for confirmation.

Jixue felt another headache when she thought of Ah Jiu leaving without saying goodbye.

"After you left yesterday, Ah Jiu woke up and her illness was cured. She said she had some things to deal with, so she left." She used a white lie to cover up the fact that Hua Ci had disappeared.Ah Jiu left by herself, Jixue believed that she was sure of herself, and knew that she definitely did not want Luo Yifeng to worry.

"En." Hearing this, Luo Yifeng frowned.Gan Tang said goodbye, and pulled him away from Xinglan Pavilion.

At this moment, ghost clans, in the hall of death in Jiuyou City, ghost fires flicker, and the lamps have no flames.Strange blue flames radiated from the stone pillars, and the blood-red long carpet was spread all the way to the throne. The throne was made of expensive bronze, inlaid with countless gems and pearls, and it was the masterpiece of the great masters of the past.

The pupils of the girl on the throne were the color of roses, her black hair hung down her waist, and her lips were bright red, making her complexion even whiter.She was dressed in a rich red dress, the hem of which fell to the carpet under the throne.

She leaned halfway on the throne, and suddenly closed her eyes lazily, as if she had fallen asleep.

If there were no ghosts and ghosts kneeling in front of the girl, maybe this would really be a picture of a beauty sleeping.And the protagonist of this picture is none other than Huaci.

"Chaoling Town, Hangzhou City, Ping'an Station, tell me, who wrote them all?" Her voice was a little lower than usual, and her original tone was restored, no longer the voice of a teenage girl.

"Back... back to the Lord, it's... the Lord of the Hall of Bones." A group of evil spirits knelt under the steps in front of the throne tremblingly. Someone said something, and the other ghosts echoed: "Yes... yes."

"Oh, it's a pity, the master of the palace didn't come today. Otherwise, it would be so interesting to see you guys arguing with him." Huaci said.

His Highness and all the ghosts were silent.Who doesn't know that the nine princesses came back halfway, and after leaving, the palace master disappeared?But no one dared to speak out.They have a deep fear of His Royal Highness Nine Princesses.

"Why don't you guys laugh? Isn't it funny?" Huaci himself laughed first, and his melodious laughter like silver bells was so creepy at the moment.

"Hahaha, haha..." The ghosts didn't dare to disobey, and laughed along with her.

Laughing and laughing, Princess Jiu stopped smiling suddenly, looked at all the ghosts in the palace, and said: "My rose pearl seems to be missing, has any of you seen it?"

The ghosts looked at each other in blank dismay.Her Highness the Ninth Princess without the Rose Pearl is equivalent to a mortal, but even so, they still dare not take the risk of confronting her.

"Priest, can you tell me?"

The priest cursed in a low voice, and then said respectfully: "The old man believes that someone with an evil plan stole the Lord's rose pearl and should be severely punished."

"Oh. Who does the priest think is responsible for this matter?" The implication is that this seat quietly watched you dogs bite dogs.

"Before the Lord, don't dare to speak falsely." This man is smart.Huaci thought.

But the priest regretted his cleverness in the next second.Because Huaci moved her finger lightly, the jade bead fell out of the priest's priest's robe like no one was there.

The sharp-eyed person hurriedly picked up the jade bead, wiped it clean, and handed it to Huaci.

"My lord, this matter has nothing to do with this old man!" The priest hurriedly shouted, "It must be Elder Tao Tie, who framed this old man!"

Taotie was suddenly called on by name, out of anger, he started to scold him.

"Why do you say it's me? The old priest spitting blood, my lord, the old man was wronged."

……

After listening for a while, Hua Ci interrupted them lack of interest.As for the method of interruption, of course it was very simple and rude. She pulled out her saber—yes, she had such a weapon, but it was just a white paper fan that she always used for convenience.

The blade is slender, with a red pearl inlaid on the handle.Two words are engraved on the scabbard: Zhu Yan.This is the name of this knife.

Zhu Yan unsheathed, all ghosts surrendered.

His Highness and all the ghosts were silent like cicadas.In the next second, a line of blood appeared out of thin air on Taotie's neck, and he fell in front of the Hall of Rebirth. The blood flowed down the carpet to the feet of the nearest elder.

"Thank you Lord for upholding justice for this old man." The priest looked into Shang Huaci's eyes and said tremblingly.

"Well, I'm tired, let's all go away."

Hua Ci's expression didn't change much, she walked down the steps slowly, pinched a teleportation talisman, and disappeared in front of the ghosts.

As night falls, the stars dim and the moon hangs high.

Jixue was sitting in the Xinglan Pavilion dealing with the sect's affairs, when she suddenly heard rustling noises coming from outside the window.Looking up, I saw a red figure flashing in front of me, running towards the back of the mountain.

"Ah Jiu?" Jixue followed the man's footsteps without caring about anything else.

When he ran to the back mountain, the red figure had disappeared.The night was quiet, the road ahead was barely covered by trees, Jixue cautiously pushed aside the branches with his sword, and walked forward.

After walking for an indeterminate amount of time, Jixue had never felt that the back mountain of Xiuyuanmen was so big, as if she had entered an unknown barrier.Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked back.

I don't know where I went when I came here, and when I look back, there is a village in front of me.There are occasional passers-by in the village, with contented smiles on their faces.Looking at their smiles, Jixue felt a chill run down her spine.

"Miss, are you lost?" An old woman leaned on a cane, exuding a kind aura from the inside out.Her face was wrinkled, the corners of her mouth were chapped, and there was no smile on her face, but she was not annoying.

"Yes. Excuse me, do you know where this is?" Jixue said.

"This is Sangma Village. Looking at the young lady's attire, the young lady is a fairy teacher who came from outside to get rid of evil spirits? What's the name of the young lady?" asked the old woman.

Sang Ma Village?Jixue remembered that she seemed to have heard this name somewhere, but couldn't remember it.

"Xia Yuxu. Old lady, may I ask if something strange happened in your village?" Jixue casually said a pseudonym.After finishing speaking, I realized that this name seemed to conflict with Mr. Yuxu's name.But it's all said and done.

"Miss Yu is really clever. I can't explain clearly in a few words, please go with the lady and the old lady." The old lady pointed to the forest in the distance, "That's where it is."

Wading through a few acres of paddy fields, Jixue was puzzled when he saw the farm tools placed in the paddy fields.Are the farm tools used by the people here so rough?

"Those are plows and waterwheels. The young lady is from a wealthy family, so she must have never seen these." The old woman explained.

Plows and waterwheels?Isn't that a production tool thousands of years ago?Jixue remembered when she had heard the name of Sangma Village—she had seen it by accident when she was looking for scrolls in Zangshuge.But didn't Sangma Village disappear thousands of years ago?

"Here we are." The old woman led Jixue into the woods, where there was a tombstone every few miles.It seems that this is the cemetery of Sangma Village.

Strange to say, it was night at Xiuyuanmen, but it was afternoon here.The sun was still shining, and the gloomy cemetery didn't seem so scary at the moment.

"Not long ago, the corpses buried in the tombstones disappeared out of thin air. Those who had died in the village came back to life, and the people who were alive disappeared."

"It's strange that those who come out of the grave have smiles on their faces, but is it the same with dead people?" said the old woman.

Ji Xue immediately realized that things were not simple.Just because she came to a village that ceased to exist a thousand years ago was already weird enough, let alone such a thing happened in the village?

"Miss Yu, just yesterday, the old lady's grandson Bao'er also disappeared, please, help me, help Bao'er, help Sangma Village..." The old woman was about to kneel down for her as she spoke. After saying something in a hurry, he helped the old woman to sit on a tree stump beside her.The old woman's face was covered with tears, and she looked even older.

When she was young, Jixue sent the old lady back to the house where the old man lived, and returned to the cemetery alone, wanting to find out.

"Swish—"

As she walked, the voice followed her.Looking back, there was nothing.

After a while, Jixue came to the tombstone where the old woman brought her.The tombstones here are different from other places, they all seem to be very old. Suddenly, she stopped in front of a tombstone.

It was just an unremarkable stele, with only one line on it: Tomb of Lord Yuxu.

"Mr. Yuxu"?that is not……

At this time, a tomb suddenly collapsed, and before Jixue had time to look at the words on the tombstone, she saw it crumble into rubble.Then there was a burst of shaking.

Suddenly, the shadow of a girl in red appeared in front of her eyes.Wearing a silver fox mask, the girl looked at her and stretched out her hand.

"Ah Jiu?" Jixue put her hand on it without hesitation.

But the man pushed back, Jixue fell on the gravel, and his arm was cut by the stone.Blood dripped down his arm, Jixue looked at the girl in red in astonishment, the man smiled slightly, and took off his mask, revealing a completely unfamiliar face under the mask.

No, it's still somewhat familiar.

It's not Ah Jiu, it's...Di Tian?

Di Tian took off her women's clothing and laughed maniacally.

"Master Yuxu, that's all."

who?Mr. Yuxu?Who is Mr. Yuxu?

Jixue felt extremely dizzy, and the next second, she was pushed hard by Ditian, and rolled down the stairs that appeared out of nowhere on the ground.
