Demons are easy to get rid of, but it is difficult for juniors and teachers to guard against

Bai Qiong has the body of a demon, and he can maintain his spirit without sleeping, so he guards him. Lin Zhen sleeps on the bed, and if there is any disturbance, Bai Qiong will wake him up.

However, this sleep was extremely peaceful, and Lin Zhen felt that he had never slept so soundly. He was able to sleep so relaxedly in an empty city where he didn't know what was hidden. Bai Qiong woke up, and when he woke up, it was already dark outside.

He was startled, the lights in the room had been turned on, and Bai Qiong was not in front of the bed, so he quickly got out of bed and called out, "Bai Qiong? Bai Qiong?"

"Oh, I'm here." Bai Qiong came in from behind the screen, "I'm watching the situation outside from the window."

Lin Zhen looked at the lights and said, "Which lamp did you light?" Imagine if the whole city was dark, and only they had light, wouldn't it be too eye-catching?

Bai Qiong shook his head: "No, when it gets dark, the lights will be turned on automatically. The same goes for other rooms."

Lin Zhen was startled, and the lights would turn on by themselves. It seemed that there must be ghosts in this city.But he didn't come to hurt them, did he not notice or did he have good intentions?

"You've slept for too long." Bai Qiong sighed, "Once night falls, this city becomes even more strange." As he spoke, he led Lin Zhen to the window. stunned.

How can there be no one in the empty city in the morning outside the window?I saw lights and festoons on the streets, people coming and going, and the excitement was not inferior to the night markets in Tokyo.I didn't pay attention to it just now, but now I realize that the word "silence" has long been said goodbye in the city, and the noise downstairs can be heard upstairs. After listening carefully, Lin Zhen can still hear several voices walking up the stairs, talking and laughing.

"What... what's going on?" Lin Zhen whispered, "Could it be that people here only come out at night?"

That's not right, there was obviously no one in the inn when I came here, where did these people come from?

Bai Qiong said: "I don't know, but I can be sure that these 'people' are not popular."

"Then are they all ghosts?" With so many ghosts, isn't this a huge ghost town?

Bai Qiong said solemnly: "Lin Zhen, they are not ghosts either."

The two were silent for a while, watching the busy traffic outside the window, and there was no repetition.

Lin Zhen took a deep breath and said, "Whoever they are, it's not an option for us to stay here. Let's go out and have a look." After that, he mustered up his courage and pushed open the door, only to see that there was already a road in the corridor. In the bright hall, rows of red lanterns have been hung up at some point, and it doesn't look intrusive amidst the bustle.

Lin Zhen and Bai Qiong hurried downstairs while there was no one in the corridor, and saw that the downstairs was already full of people, and the tables were covered with wine and food.The shopkeeper fiddled with his abacus behind the stage, thinking about today's income, he grinned and was very happy.

Lin Zhen hurriedly took Bai Qiong upstairs again and returned to the room.It seems that when you go downstairs, you will definitely meet the "people" here, and if you want to go out, you have to go out through the window.

Fortunately, this is the second floor, not too high.Bai Qiong turned into a fox and lay on Lin Zhen's shoulder, while Lin Zhen tied the sword around his waist, grabbed the window sill, rolled over, then chanted a mantra softly, jumped down, and landed on the grass in front of the inn.

The place was covered by a clump of shrubs. Lin Zhen took Bai Qiong and half-kneeled on the ground, observing the people passing by on the street, men, women, old and young, in ordinary clothes.After waiting for a while, Lin Zhen dared to take Bai Qiong out, but nothing strange happened, the expressions of the passers-by did not change, and it was still a scene of people coming and going.

Lin Zhen said: "Bai Qiong, let's take another walk, the situation has changed at night, maybe the barrier has been untied."

Bai Qiong nodded, but he didn't want to openly transform back into a human body, so he had to be held by Lin Zhen and walk along the street.

Unexpectedly, the phenomenon of ghosts beating the wall did not appear again. They walked out of that area and came to a place where two roads intersected. Dancing, sometimes scattered and sometimes gathered, Lin Zhen looked around, there were about two hundred people.

The sounds of drums, zithers, cymbals, gongs, and all kinds of music are mixed together to form a joyful music.Men and women in the circular square step on the dance point, cheerful and light.

A red building was built to the north, and there was an exquisite grandstand on the upper floor, but no one leaned on the railing to watch.

Bai Qiong said: "It's really lively here."

Lin Zhen frowned and said, "This seems like a celebration..."

As soon as the words fell, the dancing figure seemed to be divided into two branches, and they came from the left and right sides to surround Lin Zhen and Bai Qiong. They held hands and formed a circle, dancing around Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen drew out his sword, but the group of people seemed to have not seen his sword. They were still smiling and dancing happily, and did not act aggressively towards Lin Zhen.

"What's the situation?" Bai Qiong was surprised, "Are they... welcoming us?"

Lin Zhen couldn't figure out what they were going to do, and wanted to go out with Bai Qiong, but the circle became smaller and smaller, and the crowd finally divided into ten circles, tightly surrounding Lin Zhen.At this time, the sound of playing music entered a climax, the drums became more and more intensive, and the sound of the piano became more and more violent. Lin Zhen felt dizzy and hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes.

"Lin Zhen..."

"Lin Zhen..."

"Lin Zhen..."

There were many different voices calling his name in his ears, he thought of the thousand-eyed fox, and the giant snake, and the dream of the blazing fire appeared in his head, and he was extremely confused for a while.

At this time, a particularly pleasant male voice sounded: "Lin Zhen."

This sound, like a rope, rescued Lin Zhen from drowning.Lin Zhen's eyes suddenly recovered, and he saw that the crowd around him had dispersed.

The lights are still on, but the city is lonely, as if it has returned to the empty city in the morning.

Lin Zhen thought it was a certain time, so the "person" disappeared again.As soon as he recovered, he heard Bai Qiong excitedly say: "Master!"

Lin Zhen turned her head and saw the most beautiful person she had ever seen in her life.

In an instant, everything in the world was eclipsed by it, and all the flowers in the world were amazed by it.

The man had purple jade hanging on his forehead, and was wearing a purple robe with repeated patterns of cloud and algae beads. The clothes were layered on top of each other, clean and solemn, meticulous, and his unique temperament was natural.

The phoenix eyes are deep, the eyebrows are like a crescent moon, the skin is like suet, and the lips are like cherry blossoms. They are the stunning red plums in winter, bright and cold, and like the crescent moon in the night, lonely and bright.

He stared at Lin Zhen with the cold and simple night in his eyes, and there was no expression on his face, "Thank you, sir, for taking care of my young fox, I'm looking after you."

Yan mirror!It turned out to be Shen's son Yan Jing!

Lin Zhen couldn't react, and said in a daze, "You...you are Yan Jing?"

Bai Qiong smiled and said, "Lin Zhen, look stupid? Hehehe, it was my master who saved you just now!"

Lin Zhen blushed, and quickly thanked: "Master Xie Yan came to the rescue." Just now he was trapped by hallucinations, if Yan Jing didn't make a move, he would not realize that he would fight back if he was attacked.

Yan Jing said: "I didn't do anything. As soon as I came, they disappeared. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. This city itself is an illusion. Come, I will take you out."

Lin Zhen looked at Yan Jing, and realized for the first time in his life what it means to "look forward and look beautiful". It's no wonder that today's ninety-five-year-old body has to work hard to please him.

But at this time, Bai Qiong was much more behaved, following behind Yan Jing without saying a word, and did not jump onto Yan Jing's shoulder or arms to act like a spoiled child.Lin Zhen thought to himself, it really is one thing falling one thing.

Walking with Yan Jing, I always feel a lot more at ease.Lin Zhen asked, "By the way, how does Lord Yan know my name?" I think it was Yan Jing who called out the sound that pulled him out of the hallucination.

Yan Jing said: "Xiao Ling knew you were coming, he was worried, but he couldn't leave, so I will pick you up on his behalf."

Lin Zhen was taken aback for a moment, a little flattered that Yan Jing came to pick him up?Xiao Ling's face is really great.

Lin Zhen said, "Master Yan, you..."

Yan Jing replied: "You can call me Yan Jing directly, but my lord will excuse me, it sounds uncomfortable."

Lin Zhen had no choice but to change her words: "Yan Jing, are you also here to attend Xiao Ling's coronation ceremony?"

Yan Jing said: "Yes, you can say no." The main purpose of his trip was not Xiao Ling.

Lin Zhen thought to herself that she was indeed an expert, and she spoke so profoundly, so she couldn't talk about other questions, so she could only follow Yan Jing quietly.

After a while, the two arrived at the North City Gate together. It was pitch black outside the gate, and nothing could be seen.I saw Yan Jing stretching out his palm, with luck, cracks appeared on the door like a glass mirror, and then the cracks spread to the surrounding scenery, and those buildings and streets suddenly cracked like a flat mirror.

Then I saw countless crow feathers drilled out of the crack to wrap himself, Lin Zhen heard Yan Jing shout: "The time is not yet ripe, if you do this, you are not afraid of his death?"

Lin Zhen thought to herself, will you die if you say something I can understand?

Not allowing Lin Zhen to think too much, Yan Jing grabbed Lin Zhen and rushed out the door.Crow Feather disappeared in an instant, and the empty city behind him was shattered into pieces, and it was gone in the blink of an eye.

It's all just an illusion.

But Lin Zhen still remembered the reality of the crowd, the reality of the gongs, drums and zither, and the reality of those smiles.He stood blankly in the open space, feeling empty in his heart, as if he remembered the prosperity of the past, which made people feel lonely.

"Lin Zhen." Yan Jing called Lin Zhen back.

Lin Zhendao: "What... what's going on here? First we were chased by a thousand-year-old snake demon in the woods, and then entered a fantasy world. What's going on?"

Yan Jing glanced at Lin Zhen meaningfully, but did not answer his question, but said, "Let's talk after we get in the car."

It turned out that Yan Jing's carriage was parked not far from here. It was an extremely gorgeous carriage. The surface of the carriage was made of high-quality satin, but instead of dragon and phoenix patterns, it was embroidered with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, which was noble and elegant.The driver was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, dressed in a white gown, with two buns, her watery eyes were light, delicate and agile.The horses that pull the cart are all white horses, pure in color and pure in blood.

The girl looked at Bai Qiong and said with a smile: "How many days have you been away, and you were rescued?"

Bai Qiong snorted angrily: "Qingxu, will you die if you say something to comfort me? Do you know what I have been through! You almost lost sight of me!"

Qingxu laughed loudly, ignored Bai Qiong's complaints, and quickly opened the curtain for Yan Jing and Lin Zhen, and Bai Qiong also got in.

After getting in the car, Yan Jing gave Lin Zhen some pastries and water. After Lin Zhen devoured them, she exclaimed, "What a refreshing snack."

Yan Jing said: "Bai Qiong is not used to the plum cake made from Xixue's plum blossoms."

Lin Zhen remembered the reason why Bai Qiong ran away from home, and couldn't help laughing. This time, he suffered a lot with him, thinking that Bai Qiong would not think of leaving again in the near future at least.

"These can only be put on the stomach first, and it will be fine when we arrive in Longdu tomorrow."

Lin Zhen was startled: "Can we reach Longdu tomorrow?" He clearly remembered that he had just walked half of the way when he left the mountains.

Yan Jing guessed the doubts in Lin Zhen's heart, and explained: "It may be the influence of the illusion, and now we are not far away from the dragon."

"Oh." Lin Zhen didn't know what to say, so she just kept silent. Fortunately, with Bai Qiong around, the atmosphere was not awkward.

Bai Qiong told Yan Jing about his acquaintance with Lin Zhen and all kinds of encounters. Yan Jing listened quietly. pause.

Lin Zhen sat upright, not daring to be casual, looking a little nervous.Although Yan Jing's posture is correct, serious and quiet, he has an air of indifference and leisure.

"Xiao Ling is very worried about you." After a while, Yan Jing took a sip of tea and said.

Thinking of Xiao Ling, Lin Zhen became angry and said, "Then why did he go to Longdu alone? It was agreed at the beginning that we would go together."

Yan Jing looked at him, thoughtfully said: "Xiao Ling must have his reasons for doing this."

"..." Lin Zhen felt that maybe he was too vulgar to communicate with Yan Jing.

At that time, how could he have known Yan Jing's complicated emotions when he saw him.

Just as he never imagined, the tea he thought Yan Jing drank along the way was actually the scorching spirits of the people.
