There were very few people in the mansion, and with gusts of cold wind, it seemed a bit desolate.
On the vast lawn of this mansion, there are some strange-looking stones arranged in an array.
These stones are not big, most of them are only the size of a palm, but when stacked together, they actually form the shape of a person.
This desolate and mysterious style makes it seem more like a sacrificial temple than a mansion.
After passing through this forest of stone stones that stood like giants, and then through a forest of strange-shaped dead trees, the true appearance of the temple hidden in the depths was revealed.
Inside the palace, a woman in black was kneeling on the ground, with a row of pearl curtains in front of her blocking out the light.
The entire room is made of simple gray stone, which looks very cold, and the lines of the stone pillars are like cold blades.
"Master State Master, the red robes of Mingshan are out of control. When my subordinates went to investigate, the red robes in the wall had disappeared, and there were also signs of fighting in the Eighteen Inverted Towers." The woman in black knelt on the ground, looking very nervous.
Behind the bead curtain, there are heavy shadows, making it difficult to tell whether there is anyone there.
"Your Majesty, have you discovered it?" After a long time, a very light voice floated from behind the bead curtain, as if what the woman said had nothing to do with her.
"I'm afraid I don't know. It is said that the person who entered at the time was only a teenager, and even the Black Armor Army couldn't find the entrance." The woman in black explained.
"It's not that Your Majesty doesn't know, it's just that Your Majesty doesn't want to know. Over the years, she has become less and less attentive to these little things. This matter may be God's will, so let it go."
"But..." The woman in black hesitated to speak.
"But? I raised a fish in the north for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, the pond was destroyed by people from the north. Is it my responsibility that the ghost fish entered the world?" The voice behind the bead curtain suddenly became gloomy, so that the light in the whole room became dimmer.
The woman in black immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
"I want to know the details about that young man. The more the better." At this time, the voice behind the bead curtain became gentle again, so that the whole room seemed much brighter in an instant.
"Yes!" The woman in black slowly stood up and walked out.
Absolute silence returned to the entire temple, like a huge tomb.
……
Su Ying stood at the bottom of the slope, looking at the two completely dead crooked trees, and felt a little scared.
She looked around, and was actually wary in her heart whether a figure in green would appear.
Su Ying felt extremely conflicted.
Why did the "relatives" whom she had been thinking about day and night before make her so scared now?
Is it just because of those dreams?
The nervous Su Ying did not notice that on the overgrown slope, there was a large cave half-hidden, and a pair of dim eyes were hiding in it, looking at her like a poisonous snake.
Su Ying returned to the courtyard in a daze, still holding the Xuepu sword in her hand.
At this time, Xiao Qi was brushing his teeth with a willow branch. When he saw Su Ying coming back early in the morning with a sword, he immediately foamed at the mouth and asked, "Master, did you go to practice sword just now?"
Su Ying nodded, then lay down on the rattan chair under the eaves. She looked somewhat like Gu Jiu.
After Xiaoqi finished washing up and making breakfast, he prepared to go out because the soy sauce and vinegar at home were almost gone.
Su Ying watched Xiao Qi leave, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and ultimately said nothing.
Maybe just a coincidence?
Ever since the dream last night, Su Ying suddenly felt a little confused and always felt that her reactions were half a beat slower than usual.
Xiaoqi went to Xinghua Town. As the New Year was approaching, many shops were closed, but the rice shops were still open.
After Xiaoqi bought some rice, soy sauce and vinegar, he suddenly felt that he had too much stuff on him.
Xiao Hui was taken home by Gu Jiu for the New Year, and it was difficult to carry anything he wanted to buy.
On the way back, Xiaoqi discovered that a new roast duck restaurant had opened in the town, and his eyes lit up.
You know, although Xinghua Town is usually bustling, there are not many newly opened shops. A roast duck restaurant suddenly appears here. Can Xiaoqi let it go?
"Boss, give me a duck." Xiao Qi looked at the roast duck in the shop that looked very crispy and swallowed his saliva.
"coming!"
It had been a while since the shop owner handed the roast duck to Xiaoqi, but Xiaoqi still felt that the other party looked a little familiar.
Isn't this the blacksmith from the smithy?
Why did you change your career to roast duck?
After finishing his shopping, Xiao Qi carried the rice on his left shoulder, held the vinegar and soy sauce in his right hand, held the oil paper wrapping the roast duck in his mouth, and walked back.
Xiao Qi sniffed the aroma of the roast duck, his mouth watering as he sighed, "Hmph! Junior Brother Shaque is coming home for the New Year, so Master and I want to have something good. You haven't had roast duck this delicious before, have you?"
There is a bamboo forest outside Qingliu Academy, which looks a bit gloomy even in summer.
It was the end of the year and the ground was covered with fallen leaves, making it look even more desolate.
As Xiaoqi walked among them, he always felt a chill on his back. This was a scene he had never encountered before.
You have to know that she has lived in this area for many years and is very familiar with it. It is not an exaggeration to call her a "local snake".
This situation today made her feel a little strange, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
Just as she was about to leave the bamboo forest, a man in green clothes suddenly appeared at the corner ahead. She was so scared that she jumped up and the roast duck in her mouth fell to the ground.
The woman in green had been standing there since some point and looked like a scholar.
After hearing the noise, the woman in green turned around, smiled beautifully, and said, "Miss, may I know how to get to Xinghua Town?"
After discovering that the other person looked very kind, Xiao Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and pointed in the direction of the town.
MMP, I was scared to death.
The woman in green picked up the oil paper wrapped around the roast duck and handed it to Xiao Qi.
The moment he took the oil paper, Xiao Qi felt all the hairs on his body stand up for some reason.
Xiaoqi immediately bit the roast duck and walked towards the academy.
For some reason, she always felt that the woman in green was looking at her.
Yes, even if she didn't look back, she felt that the other person was looking at her.
Imagine that in this gloomy weather, a woman is standing not far away, staring at you without saying a word. How would you feel?
What’s even more terrifying is that in this situation, you don’t even dare to look back.
You are afraid that if you look back, you will...
(PS: I still have a few hundred words to write for the next chapter, so I’ll polish it and post it.)
Chapter 9 Two Academies (Part )
Xiao Qi returned to the courtyard with a pale face and lay down on the rattan chair without saying a word. He looked very similar to Gu Jiu.
After noticing that Xiao Qi looked a little strange, Su Ying couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Qi shook his head, a little lost, and said, "Huh? Nothing, I just bought a roast duck."
"Oh, roast duck!" Xiao Qi stood up quickly and started eating the roast duck he bought with Su Ying.
As they ate, they exclaimed that the roast duck was really well roasted, and the bones were so crispy.
At this time, Su Ying suddenly said: "Xiao Qi, I dreamed last night that the two big-butt trees died. I went to see them today, and they are indeed dead."
Xiao Qi said "hmm." After a few breaths, she suddenly started coughing violently. She didn't catch her breath until she pulled out a duck bone stuck in her throat.
"Master, why do you suddenly say such scary things?"
Su Ying's expression became nervous and she asked, "Is this scary?"
Xiao Qi nodded and said, "It's a bit scary. I always feel that this academy has a different feel since Junior Brother is gone."
Xiao Qi didn't hide his thoughts and said them directly.
Su Ying couldn't help but frown slightly and said, "What's the difference?"
Xiao Qi thought for a while and said, "It feels a lot quieter. Even though that guy lies there like a corpse all day, it always feels a bit more lively with him around."
Su Ying nodded, feeling that it made some sense.
Xiao Qi couldn't help but think of the green-shirted woman he had just met, and couldn't help but say, "No, Master, I want to sleep with you if you're late."
Su Ying nodded and said, "Then you can't grab my breasts like before."
Xiao Qi immediately smiled happily and said, "Xiao Qi, am I the kind of person who would do that kind of thing?"
Xiaoqi picked up the duck bones and was about to throw them away, but suddenly he froze at the door.
Under the eaves of a tile-roofed house at the bottom of the courtyard, the woman in green was standing there, looking at this side silently.
That tile-roofed house is where Qingliu Academy worships its founder.
"Master...Father, that person..."
After noticing that Xiao Qi's tone was wrong, Su Ying immediately left the room and stood there frozen.
The moment the blue shirt caught her eyes, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Master?
The woman standing under the eaves was tall and looked very gentle, like a piece of beautiful jade.
If Su Ying hadn't had a nightmare, or if she hadn't had the nightmare last night, she would definitely run away now.
She had imagined this scene many times, that is, the master returned and the family members of Qingliu Academy also returned.
But now, she only felt creepy.
Su Ying said nothing, but tightly gripped the hilt of the Xuepu sword hanging at her waist, as if facing a powerful enemy.
The woman in green clothes had been standing there without moving a muscle, not even blinking. I'm afraid a real wood sculpture would be no more than that.
Xiao Qi looked at Su Ying and became more nervous.
The atmosphere of fear is contagious, so at this moment, Su Ying and Xiao Qi felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and their hearts were filled with chills.
Xiao Qi didn't know what Su Ying was thinking. She was just afraid of this woman in green from the very beginning.
This woman looks very gentle, but she is just afraid.
Su Ying's fear comes from her dream, but more importantly, it comes from her feelings for the other person.
After an incense stick of time, the woman in green clothes under the eaves walked towards the courtyard.
Su Ying gestured to Xiao Qi to step back, and she walked towards the courtyard.
The woman in green stopped outside the fence.
It's a cloudy day today, but there is still light, and the shadow of the woman in green is reflected on the ground. Does this prove that she is not a ghost?
With a gentle smile on her face, she looked at Su Ying and said, "My dear disciple, long time no see."
After hearing this, Xiao Qi, who was holding a sword in the house, was stunned on the spot, and the Shuiyan sword in his hand almost hit the instep of his foot.
Su Ying looked at her master and said nervously, "Master, long time no see."
The woman in green looked at Su Ying and smiled, "Since you know me, why don't you invite me in and have a seat?"
Su Ying kept her hand on the hilt of the sword, and said in a trembling voice: "This has always been Master's academy. Su Ying does not need to invite you."
At this moment, she always felt that her master Xie Xue was afraid of something, so she did not enter this small courtyard.
Then she quickly discovered that the master was glancing at the half Buddha statue out of the corner of his eye.
Could it be that the master is really a ghost and is afraid of Buddha statues?
But unexpectedly, the next moment, Xie Xue walked into the yard.
The Buddha statue holding a peach branch stood there quietly, without any reaction.
Is there really nothing wrong with Master?
At this moment, Su Ying's mind was a little disturbed, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword couldn't help but loosen a little.
"Thank you for your hard work over the years." Xie Xue looked at Su Ying and said gently.
At this moment, Su Ying felt as if she had returned to her childhood, the happy days she spent with her master and fellow disciples.
But at this moment, Xiao Qi suddenly stood up and said, "Master, I'm afraid of her."
Almost at the same time, Su Ying gripped the hilt tightly, and the Xuepu sword in the bamboo sheath was ready to be fired.
