Green scales

Along the way, Yuqin thought that Liu Shu would try every means to stay with Xia Xinglan, but Liu Shu walked slowly behind Kong Qi, leading the horse, and did not intend to talk to Xia Xinglan at all. For a moment, I couldn't figure out what Liu Shu was thinking.

The servant that Pei Yun brought with him took Xia Xinglan's place to drive the horse, and Yuqin stayed with Xia Xinglan with peace of mind, turning his head from time to time and whispering some thoughtful words.Xia Xinglan was absent-minded.

"How about it?"

"Ah?" Xia Xinglan recovered and asked subconsciously.

Yuqin was quiet for a moment, then said slowly: "What's wrong? Is there something on your mind? Why don't you tell me?"

Xia Xinglan wanted to shake her head to reassure Yuqin, but she turned her head when the words came to her lips.

"I think this trip might be a bit difficult." Xia Xinglan let out a long breath, turned her head to look at Yuqin tenderly, and said, "I regret my recklessness now, in case something happens to you, What should I do?"

Yuqin thought to himself, don't talk about a little monster, even a thousand year old monster, he can handle it with ease, so if he can't do it, he calls Situ Ling to come.But when he saw Xia Xinglan's water-like eyes filled with endless affection, he refused to leave Xia Xinglan from the bottom of his heart.

"Do you want to send me back now? What if there is a demon trying to kill me halfway?"

Xia Xinglan pondered for a moment, then touched the bridge of his nose helplessly.

"That's right, that's all. I'm going all out to take this life, and I want to protect you well."

Yuqin looked back with a smile, and when he was about to say something more, the carriage stopped abruptly, and the voice of Kong Qi came from outside the carriage: "Daoist Xia, Mr. Yu, we are here."

Yuqin and Xia Xinglan got out of the car, and the driver drove the horse to another courtyard to settle down.

As soon as everyone stood still, they saw a majestic mansion with Danying carvings, which was the governor's mansion.As soon as the guards at the gate saw Pei Yun, they spread the word repeatedly and rushed forward to meet him.Pei Yun waved his hand casually, and said: "Go and inform Madam, the distinguished guest is here, and I need to find him."

The guards responded and entered the mansion. Pei Yun breathed a sigh of relief and smiled wearily: "The Taoist priest will come with me."

Everyone agreed, and followed Pei Yun into the mansion. As soon as he stepped in, Yuqin felt a strong resentment screaming towards his face, mixed with the disgusting smell of blood.Yuqin's expression turned ugly immediately.

The resentment was too strong, and Pei Yun really didn't tell the truth.

This is definitely not caused by a few snake corpses.

Except for Yuqin, everyone just frowned in discomfort, and did not perceive this resentment. Resentment is invisible, but if it is too strong, it will affect people's surroundings.

Yuqin turned his head around suspiciously, trying to find the source of his resentment, when suddenly a generous and warm hand grabbed his arm, and Xia Xinglan's deep and deep voice sounded

"Come closer to me, it's kind of weird in here."

Yuqin responded, and moved towards Xia Xinglan's side, their shoulders touching.

"My lord, the people in your house don't look very well, but they were too scared to sleep all night." Liu Shu lazily followed behind Kong Qi, looking sideways from time to time. maids and servants.

"When something like this happened in the mansion, everyone was panicking. Who can sleep peacefully?" Pei Yun shook his head helplessly, led everyone to the main hall, and ordered the maid to prepare refreshments.

After everyone was seated, Kong Qi walked outside the hall and stood at the door with arms crossed.

Pei Yun sat in the front seat, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, and the maids outside the hall came in one after another carrying various tea, fruit and pastries.Yuqin raised his eyes to look at the maid next to him. The maid was beautiful, but her face was darkened, her eyes were dull, and her movements were rigid, like a puppet being controlled by rape.

The maid was about to pour tea for Xia Xinglan and Yuqin, but Xia Xinglan pressed down on the teapot and said politely, "Don't bother the girl for now."

The maid didn't respond, and she backed away after being blessed.

Yuqin and Xia Xinglan looked at each other, doubts arose in their hearts, but they didn't say it out on the spot.

Liu Shu took a piece of pastry and ate it, and smiled at the maid. Liu Shu was not bad at first, with a handsome demeanor and a dignified appearance, but now she has a touch of maturity and stability, which is enough to make the little girl's heart flutter.

The maid blushed, and reluctantly withdrew.

"Pei Lang." A gentle and thin voice rang out, and then a tall and thin figure walked in surrounded by maids. He was half a head taller than the maids beside him, but he looked even weaker due to his frail body. Liu Fufeng.

The tulle covered half of the face of the visitor, so that people could not see the real face, but they could vaguely see some of the appearance from the star-like eyes.

"Ma'am." Pei Yun stood up to greet her, the two exchanged glances, Pei Yun took Madam's hand and nodded to Xia Xinglan and the others one by one.

"This is Daoist Yun Shu."

The madam saluted gracefully, and the pearls and hairpins collided with each other making a crisp sound.Liu Shu smiled and nodded in return.

"This is Daoist Xia Xinglan, and Mr. Yu."

The madam lowered her head, revealing her white and slender neck. A gust of breeze blew up the tulle like the wings of a cicada, revealing a small pointed chin.

Yuqin's eyes narrowed slightly, and the lady raised her head slowly after saluting. When she saw Yuqin, her body froze immediately, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. Pei Yun was keenly aware of the momentary stiffness of the person beside him, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

The madam shook her head, said softly, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Yuqin.

"What's wrong?" Xia Xinglan said seeing Yuqin's expression changed.

Yuqin raised her eyebrows slightly, shook her head, looked away and said, "It's okay."

Madam breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yuqin as if hesitant to speak, and then slowly looked away after a while.

"Madam is injured?" Liu Shu sipped tea slowly after eating the cake.

"Yes, Lian Ge was injured in the face by that monster. Many doctors were invited to see him, but they couldn't explain why." Pei Yun let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at the people beside him distressedly.

Lian Ge patted Pei Yun's hand comfortingly, and then lifted the veil.

A face that can be called gorgeous, with a touch of charm in the corners of the eyes and brows, and it has infinite charm when you look at it lightly.It is truly seductive.

But the most eye-catching thing is still a scratch on his left cheek, the flesh and blood turned out, and the edge is already faintly white.The scratches stretched from the corners of the eyebrows to the side of the lips, almost across half of the face, turning the original appearance like a banished fairy into a hellish ghost, extremely terrifying.

After a while, Lian Ge put on the veil again, with a calm expression and no waves.

Pei Yun distressedly pinned Lian Ge's side hair behind his ears, his eyes could not hide the pity, and when he saw the horrific scar just now, Pei Yun did not show any disgust at all.

"But there is a demon poison?" Xia Xinglan said, the scars have not healed for a long time, and many doctors have difficulty prescribing the right medicine. The only possibility is that they have been poisoned by the demon.

Liu Shu shook her head slowly, "Not necessarily, if it was the snake demon's poison, it would be enough to kill a person after a hundred years of practice, how could it just leave a scar."

Pei Yun felt a little troubled for a while, but Lian Ge looked normal, as if he had given up hope for the scar to heal.

"Then... is there a way?" Pei Yun asked anxiously.

Xia Xinglan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Since he was injured by that monster, we can only find out what happened after catching that monster. Even if he was poisoned by a monster, he had to use materials from the snake monster to make an antidote." .”

Lian Ge raised his hand to caress Pei Yun's shoulder and comforted him softly.

The hall fell into silence again.

After a while, Liu Shu got up and looked around, lazily said: "Master Pei seems to be hiding something, the wind blowing in this huge governor's mansion smells like blood. Did you smell it?"
