Hua Zhuo almost thought that he heard it wrong, "Where do you visit?"

The maid said with a straight accent: "The bedroom."

What is there to see in the bedroom? !

Hua Zhuo felt a little dizzy, and always thought it would be better to go and have a look, so he asked the maid to lead him the way.

When I came outside the courtyard, the gate of the entire courtyard was closed tightly, and the shadow guard was guarding the gate, so I was quite surprised to see Hua Zhuo appearing here.

"Ji Xiao is inside?" Hua Zhuo asked.

The shadow guard nodded. Seeing that he wanted to go in, he hurriedly dissuaded him: "Madam, you better not go in, the things inside are not suitable for you to see... Just wait a little longer, the leader will come out in a while."

Huazhu asked strangely: "What's inside?"

The shadow guard was about to speak, but there was a sudden movement from inside the courtyard door. The sound was rustling and small, but extremely dense. At first it sounded far away, but then it gradually approached, like a tide rushing over.

The dense sound of broken points touching the ground came uninterruptedly, which made the scalp tingle, and the hairs stood on end uncontrollably.In just a few breaths, the sound spread from the ground to the walls and door panels, as if something had filled the entire courtyard wall, lurking behind the seemingly quiet door.

The shadow guard didn't have time to answer, so he quickly took a few steps back with Hua Jue. Immediately afterwards, the wooden door panel made a small and sharp sound, overlapping tightly and trivially, as harsh as scratching the heart.

The heavy vermilion lacquered door seemed about to be unable to bear it, and it began to shake precariously. At first, a tiny crack appeared under the door panel, and then it continued to expand, stretch, and spread, forming a sharp crack.The slender insect legs crawled out of the crack continuously, forcibly blocking the crack into dense wriggling black.

Hua Zhuo's face suddenly turned pale, and the shadow guard stood in front of him in time, but he couldn't cover up the sounds of cracking planks and insects crawling into his ears.

Immediately afterwards, the gate was gnawed apart by the insects at a speed visible to the naked eye, and was completely shattered into debris on the ground.The moment after the gate collapsed, a figure bypassed the densely packed black worms that covered half of the courtyard, suddenly jumped out of the courtyard, and pressed the flower into his arms.

"Don't look." Ji Xiao said in a deep voice.

In the dark courtyard, Lu Qiuyue was standing in the middle of the courtyard, muttering something with her lips moving, the swarm of worms did not approach any more, and stopped at the door without overflowing one.

Hua Zhuo turned her back to the courtyard gate, her face was pale, her shoulders trembled slightly.Ji Xiao immediately picked him up, told the shadow guard and Lu Qiuyue to speak, and went back to the room with Hua Jue.

When she returned to the house, Hua Zhuo's face had softened a lot.

Ji Xiao put him on the couch, Hua Zhuo was still huddled in his arms, took a deep breath slowly, put a palm on Ji Xiao's shoulder and patted lightly, and whispered: "It's okay, it's okay I'm fine..."

I don't know if he is comforting Ji Xiao or comforting himself.

Ji Xiao's eyes softened, he hugged him tightly, caressed his back, and whispered: "Don't be afraid anymore."

Hua Zhuo let out another deep breath, and whispered: "I've said it's all right... I'm not so scared."

Ji Xiao was still pacifying his back, Hua Jue simply rubbed against his arms without moving, and said with lingering fear: "What happened just now? Why are there so many insects in that courtyard?"

Ji Xiao said: "It was raised by Pavilion Master Lu, and it only comes out for activities after dark, so I asked me to watch it."

Hua Zhuo's scalp was numb, "She...she raised her?!"

A girl at such a young age...is really a person who cannot be judged by appearances.

Ji Xiao pulled the quilt over to cover him, continued to hug him, and explained: "There are many insects in the wide land, and the people in Fuying Pavilion are good at Gu, so it's not unusual to raise insects."

Hua Zhuo said quietly: "So, you are here to visit? That maid is really good at talking..."

"What did she say?" Ji Xiao asked.

Hua Zhuo said bitterly and bitterly: "She said that the pavilion master invited you to visit the bedroom."

Ji Xiao pursed his lips, and added: "It's the stone room under the bedroom."

Hua Zhuo was shocked again, "That yard is really her residence just now? She kept the bugs under the bedroom??"

Ji Xiao nodded, "Yes."

Hua Zhuo is in a trance... What kind of strange woman is this?

Ji Xiao said indifferently: "Pavilion Master Lu is proficient in the art of controlling Gu, and he just showed it to me, so he won't let them hurt people."

Ji Xiao paused, and then said: "Under the control of people, Gu worms can search for breath in the dark, and groups of Gu worms are also extremely destructive. If they encounter nighttime actions, they can play a big role. So if necessary I might borrow it sometime... but I promise you won't see it."

Hua Zhuo pursed her lips and smiled, "Yeah".

Ji Xiao hugged him for a while, and seeing his face calmed down completely, he got up and asked someone to reheat the food, and by the way, he saw the delicate wooden box on the table.

Hua Zhuo coughed, blinked and said, "This is something sent by Pavilion Master Lu."

Ji Xiao opened the wooden box, and a faint fragrance escaped.

"Do you know what this is for?" Hua Zhuo hinted.

The Shadow Guard bought this thing and showed it to him when he was on the way, Ji Xiao understood it at a glance, calmly closed the wooden box, put it aside, and said, "I know."

Seeing that he didn't respond, Hua Zhuo said unwillingly, "You really know?"

Ji Xiao understood what he was thinking, and glanced at him, "You don't have to think too much, I didn't intend to do that."

Hua Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and asked in surprise, "Why?"

Ji Xiao said indifferently: "Men have to endure a lot of pain to do this. Even if plaster is used, it is impossible to feel no pain, and it can only relieve one or two. As far as your current body is concerned, you should be very clear about it. It hurts here and there, can you bear this?"

Hua Jue's eyes widened, "How do you know I can't stand it if you didn't do it?"

"It will be too late when you really can't bear it." Ji Xiao said indifferently.

Hua Zhuo doubted: "Then what are you going to do? From now on, in this life, you won't do this anymore?"

Ji Xiao frowned, "If you don't do it, then you don't do it, your body is more important or this matter?"

Hua Zhuo said in disbelief, "No... Then in this life, you won't feel regretful?"

Ji Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Hua Zhuo became more serious, "Besides, if you don't do that, as my man, don't you feel ashamed of me? Your place is so powerful, if you don't use it, isn't it a waste?"

Ji Xiao couldn't pick out where to scold him for a while.

After holding back for a while, Ji Xiao said with a headache: "Do you think I don't want to?! I'm doing it for your own good too?! There's no need to do such hurtful things! If you're a woman, that's fine, but men and women are It's different, what if something bad happens?!"

Hua Zhuo was dumbfounded, thinking about it and feeling unbelievable, she said strangely: "What good or bad can I do? Two men from other people's family can do it, why can't I? I haven't heard of any serious couple, because of this matter, they are fooled. died in bed."

Ji Xiao's temples twitched hard twice.

Unable to resist him, Ji Xiao calmed down for a long time, and finally let go, "How about this, after you recover your immortal body, I promise you won't be hurt, and we'll discuss this matter again."

Hua Zhu was shocked, "Isn't there still more than four years left?!"

Ji Xiao glanced at him, "It's not very long."

"It's not very long??" Hua Zhu collapsed a bit.

At this time, a servant knocked on the door, brought up the hot food, set it up, and retreated out.

Ji Xiao had no intention of discussing this topic any more, and asked him to go over for dinner.

This matter didn't make sense for a while, Hua Zhuo shrugged, so he had no choice but to let it go for the time being.

After resting for two days, Ji Xiao went into the city early this morning with flowers.

Both of them dressed up in disguise before departure. Ji Xiao prepared a disguise mask in advance, while Hua Zhuo directly used spells to change back to its original appearance. The clothes were still dressed as businessmen. After passing the interrogation, they went directly to the previously agreed mask. Find someone at your location.

The guards in Kuanyun City are really as strict as they said before, patrolling soldiers can be seen everywhere on the street, Ji Xiao dragged him into a business under the name of Fuying Pavilion, where the two shadow guards sent earlier were already here waiting.

Ji Xiao said: "What did you find out?"

The shadow guard said: "Reporting to the lord, I haven't found anything."

Ji Xiao was not surprised, and said, "Go to the west of the city first."

The Devil's Cult is divided into two, one is outside the city, Ji Xiao has checked it two days ago and found nothing unusual, and the other is in the west of Kuanyun City.

The shadow guard said: "The subordinates have already been there, and the dark room has been found, but the things inside have been emptied. It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time, and no clues have been found."

But Ji Xiao still felt the need to investigate.

Fortunately, the guards in the west part of the city were not Yan Jin, and the four of them went in through the back door of the Devil's Cult in broad daylight without being noticed.

"This Demon Cult seems to be quite rich..." Hua Zhuo wandered around in the Cult, seeing it freshly.

Ji Xiao pulled him, "Don't turn around, follow closely."

A few people checked the Demon Cult as usual, and the shadow guard showed Ji Xiao the dark room they found there.

The dark room is located in the basement of a warehouse, the location is very remote, and the mechanism is also very secret.The entire darkroom is very large, almost as large as the ground, and it is only by lighting a few candles that the whole darkroom can be barely illuminated.According to what the shadow guard said, the contents inside have been basically emptied, leaving only a mess.

When the shadow guard came here earlier, he didn't even spare the walls of the dark room, he groped them all one by one.

Ji Xiao went straight up the steps, the stone surface under his feet was engraved with strange patterns, and there was only an empty jade table on it, it seemed that some important objects should have been placed there.

Hua Zhuo saw a potted plant in the corner at a glance. The potted plant was half the height of a person, and it was completely withered.

Huazhu asked strangely: "Isn't this 'Fengxue'?"

Ji Xiao came over, glanced at the potted plant that was no different from what he usually saw, and asked, "What's wrong?"

There were other people present, Hua Zhuo said cryptically: "I have seen this flower before, it is not a special species, but it is rare here... I don't know where this pot came from, this place has no aura at all, otherwise Even if no one takes care of it, this flower can live well."

Ji Xiao frowned, and was about to step forward to take a closer look, but was stopped by Hua Zhuo.

"This flower is not poisonous, but the root of the flower is poisonous, and the soil inside cannot be touched." Hua Zhuo said.

Ji Xiao fixed his eyes on the flower pot, turned around and drew the long sword from the shadow guard's waist, pierced it straight into the pot, and dug out the dried up soil.

Removing the soil reveals something special in the center of the pot.The middle of the wooden flower pot is concave, and there is a spiral iron block, which is obviously a switch, connecting to the secret hidden in the ground.

Ji Xiao didn't choose to twist the iron block with his hands, but took out the dagger and put the tip of the knife right above it.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly solid piece of iron was actually loose, and it sank with only a little force, triggering the mechanism instantly, and a claw-like sharp piece popped out with a "Zheng", hooking the tip of the dagger fiercely .

Hua Zhuo was startled.

If I twist it with my hands, I'm afraid the whole palm will be pierced...

Ji Xiao mobilized a wave of internal force, and slowly turned the dagger with extremely delicate force, and the iron block underneath also turned accordingly, and there was a faint movement from the wall behind the jade case.

Immediately afterwards, there was only a bang, and the heavy wall opened, revealing the dark and deep passage inside.
