I just want to be a quiet man

When her thoughts were turning, she walked quickly to the dressing table, opened the drawer, and randomly took out a red gold inlaid long hairpin from it, tied her long hair up high, and inserted a few auxiliary hairpins, making sure that it would not affect her hair. After he took action, he turned around and walked out the door.

※※※

In a certain courtyard of the Xiao Mansion, there are dense bamboo shadows, and thousands of sounds are surging, reflecting on the window lattice, like a mother-in-law dancing.

in the house.

There are two stacks of foot-high empty plates piled up on the round table with huanghuali inlaid marble and carved landscape figures.

The smell of wine and food permeated the room, "Yu" sat by the table with a dull expression, devouring the food in front of him.

The delicious food is in the stomach, and then accompanied by a cup of warm wine, the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus overflows between swallowing and sipping, which is extremely enjoyable.

"Yu" suddenly came back to his senses when the wind was blowing away.

His aura has reached the peak of Qi training period!

However, when he was eating just now, he saw several strange memories again.

One time he was squatting in the court, a tall and burly man with a bare chest and a whip in his hand, standing beside him, telling the key points of the horse stance with a stern expression; In front of the window covered by plantains, he was holding a pen to post a post, and Lang Hao outlined every stroke, piercing through the back of the paper; another time, he was holding a gold-painted folding fan, dressed in a brocade robe, with jade rings on his hair, elegantly dressed, and wearing a red fox fur, Walking slowly through the snow-covered plum blossom forest, I walked to a cluster of low-hanging flower branches, gently picked up a flower branch full of buds with a folding fan, turned my head with a smile, and said to the person behind me: "' Plum Blossom Snow, Pear Blossom Moon, Always Acacia. 【Note】'I was sent to school by my father these days, I always thought of you, but I don't know if you, the famous leader of the world, also think of me?」

These strange memories are getting longer each time, as if he experienced them personally.

"Yu" put down his tooth chopsticks and looked around, the palace lantern in the room was still burning quietly, but the dim light only illuminated a square inch of land.

Outside the window lattice, the faint morning light is falling gently.

The night has passed, but the sun is rising.

The servant girl who was serving at the side disappeared at some point.

"Yu" rolled up his sleeves, and was about to clean up the bowls and chopsticks in front of him, when he suddenly found that the remaining oil stains on the bottom of the bowls had all turned into dirty blood.

Leftovers are human flesh, seasonal vegetables are human hair and human skin, residual soup is human blood, and dishes floating in it are fingers, eyeballs and the like.

And the bowl of tofu soup he drank halfway through was obviously stewed with human marrow.

"Yu" frowned suddenly, he was a ghost himself, and it was only natural for him to devour living people.In his opinion, this table of human meat feast is very ordinary, and there is no disgust or disgust at all.

However, the current situation always made him feel that something was wrong.

Before he could think about these questions clearly, "Dong Dong Dong", someone knocked on his door.

Immediately afterwards, the servant girl's voice came: "Master, the maidservant brought breakfast."

"Yu" came back to his senses and ordered: "Come in."

Soon, a maidservant in a blue skirt walked in with a food box on her arm. She had a long face, slender eyebrows and long eyes, a small nose and a small mouth. She was not very beautiful, but she had the charming charm of Xiaojiabiyu.

Her long black hair was simply braided into two braids, hanging down her chest.

Just when she turned around the screen and saw the mess on the table and the bloody scene, the servant girl's eyes widened instantly, and she immediately took a few steps back in fright, almost dropping the food box in her hand on the spot.

"Yu" said lightly: "Take out all the food."

The servant girl came to her senses when she heard the words, and said quickly, "Yes!"

She collected herself, took out the food and placed it on the open space on the table.

"Yu" didn't let her try the dishes this time, but directly picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and started to eat with big mouthfuls.

Soon, he swept away all the dishes, but the strength in his body did not increase at all, and those strange memories did not continue to appear.

Aware of this, "Yu" nodded slightly, and immediately understood that only the food delivered at night can restore more strength to him.

but……

It's so easy!

That person's fortune cannot be so easy!

He always felt that something very dangerous had happened to him, but he hadn't noticed the problem yet.

So few clues!

Thinking of this, "Yu" immediately ordered: "You go down first."

The servant girl bent her knees and said, "Yes!"

She quickly resigned and left.

"Yu" sat at the table, waited quietly for a while, then got up suddenly, and walked out of the room.

"Squeak."

The door opened, and there was already a guard standing outside. Seeing the young master coming out, he immediately bowed and said: "Young master..."

Before he finished speaking, the guard felt his throat tighten, and he couldn't utter any words at once. A hand like pouring steel clasped his neck and dragged him into the room at once.

"boom!"

The door of the room was closed immediately, and there was no movement around, only the rustling bamboo forest and the sound of thousands of leaves, like tides and waves, deep and surging.

[Note] Zhang Huiyan [Qing] "Meeting Joy, Every Year Loss But Flowering Period".

Chapter 75: Exchanging clues.

The morning light poured into the courtyard, adding some warmth to the originally desolate courtyard.

The ginkgo trees in this season have completely lost their green color, and the branches are full of golden brilliance like burning.

Golden leaves fluttered all over the ground, interlaced with blue bricks to form mottled patterns.

A guard with a square face stood outside the door, looking around vigilantly like a falcon.

At this time, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open, and a yellow skirt that seemed to be the same as the yellow leaves all over the ground came in. The girl with a high bun and purple jacket stepped over the threshold, and quickly looked around with her cold eyes.

Seeing Miss Xiang'e coming, the guard quickly saluted respectfully and said, "Miss!"

The Pink Bride nodded slightly, and immediately ordered: "Xiao Zheng is ill, I came to visit specially, you step back first."

As she said that, before the guard could answer, a faint black light flashed in her eyes.

The guard opened his mouth, and was about to answer something just now, his expression was startled, and he nodded without the slightest hesitation: "Yes!"

So, the guard bowed and walked out without delay, leaving the courtyard.

Seeing that she was the only one left in this exclusive courtyard, the pink bride flipped her wrist, and immediately grasped the sharp dagger that had been sacrificed to the maid in her palm.

She walked quickly to the door and raised her hand to knock.

"Bang bang bang."

There was no movement in the house, no one seemed to be there at all.

The pink bride was unmoved, seeing no one responded, she simply pushed the door open and entered.

"Squeak."

The door opened, and the morning light and the cold wind rushed in, but the confusion and warmth in the room seemed to be frozen and hard to dispel.

Faced with a huanghuali single-seat screen with carved wood and dyed teeth, mountains and rivers and pavilions, there are lush forests, waterfalls and clear springs, clouds and fog, and magnificent pavilions and pavilions are looming.

The winding mountain path meanders deep, and a tall man with fluttering sleeves is walking slowly on the mountainside.

Turning around the screen, the light inside is dim, even though there is a palace lantern for lighting, and the skylight shines in from outside the screen, there are still shadows and shadows.

However, having recovered part of her cultivation, the pink bride walked into the room without any hindrance.

As she walked in step by step, she called out tentatively: "Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zheng..."

Soon, she walked around the tables and chairs and came to the tent.

On the exposed bed, Xiao Zheng sat cross-legged on the bed and was putting a smooth mask that looked like cast iron on his face.

At this time, Pei Ling asked in a cold voice: "Xiao Xiang'e, what do you want me for?"

Sensing that the other party's aura was also Qi training, the pink bride smiled coldly, without any nonsense, she loosened her five fingers, and the dagger drew a snow-colored arc in midair, and immediately flew towards Pei Ling.

Pei Ling pointed at the pink bride with a knife, and slashed lightly.

brush!

A domineering, fierce blood-colored saber energy flew out suddenly.

clang!

The knife qi hit the dagger, and there was a sound of gold and iron. This dagger, which seemed to be an ordinary thing, was surprisingly tough. It faced the knife qi head-on without any sign of damage.

It's just that the strength of the pink bride is obviously not as good as that of Pei Ling, who is at the same level. Therefore, although the dagger was not damaged, it was instantly sent flying backwards.

The saber energy remained undiminished, and continued to cut towards the pink bride.

The pink bride lightly raised her narrow sleeves, her slender, white fingers were like playing a lute in the air, and she pressed and kneaded it a few times quickly.

The dagger that was flying obliquely was immediately pulled by an invisible force, turned back, and faced the saber energy again.

Clang clang clang clang clang...

After the dagger was blown away seven or eight times in a row, Pei Ling's saber energy was completely wiped out.

The pink bride staggered back a few steps, and didn't dare to continue to make a move for a while, she had already confirmed the identity of the other party!

"It really is the master!"

"I don't know what clues the master has collected now?"

"Now that I am a concubine, I happen to have some gains..."

The pink bride suddenly asked with a smile, as if the one who did it suddenly just now was not herself at all.

Pei Ling slowly restrained her breath, tried her best to suppress the worsening illness, and said in a calm voice: "The clues I have now are that the maids who appeared at night are all sacrifices that have already been sacrificed."

Hearing that there were no accidents for the pink bride, and she had obtained relevant memories, she immediately knew that what Pei Ling said was correct.

Immediately, he also opened his mouth and said: "Masks are the weakness of those maids."

"The concubine has already got rid of a maid."

Hearing this, Pei Ling's expression was flat. He already knew the information about the mask, and he knew more than the other party!

His thoughts turned rapidly, he shook his head slightly, and said: "Those maids are not important. The real focus now is the next sacrifice... How much do you know about the Faceless Immortal?"

The pink bride frowned slightly, and said, "I don't understand at all."

"However, after the sacrifice begins, you should be able to know something."

"By the way, I don't know what the master intends to use as a sacrifice?"

Pei Ling said briefly: "I haven't thought about it yet."

As he said that, he suddenly thought of something again, and immediately said, "I am now trying to find a way to obtain the original memory of this body."

"This is the physical body of Xiao Zheng, the young master of the Xiao family. He must be very familiar with the ins and outs of the Faceless Immortal."

"If we can get Xiao Zheng's memory, it will definitely be very helpful for us to break the situation."

"Did you also get Xiao Xiang'e's memory during this time?"

The pink bride's complexion remained unchanged, and she said with a smile: "As expected of the master, I found the clue so quickly."

"However, the concubine is stupid, but she didn't think of this, and she didn't get any memory of Xiao Xiang'e."

Next, the two sides chatted about some things. Pei Ling deliberately avoided the topic of masks and maidservants, and the pink bride seemed to be hiding something on purpose. Both sides talked about the most basic and not difficult to find out.

After a while, seeing that she couldn't hear anything, the pink bride said immediately: "Master, I have other things to do with me, so I should leave."

Pei Ling nodded slightly.

The pink bride immediately turned and left.

Watching her back disappear through the door, and sensing the aura of the pink bride completely gone, Pei Ling couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly let out a heart-piercing cough.

He quickly took off the mask, but the coughing still did not stop. The blood stains from the corners of his mouth kept spilling out, staining the front, which was shocking to watch.

After a while, Pei Ling finally calmed down, only feeling weak.

"The Pink Bride must have awakened part of Xiao Xiang'e's memories..."

"I said on purpose just now that this is Xiao Zheng's physical body. She didn't notice any problems, which means she doesn't even know that our destiny has been suppressed!"

"Now that she can recover part of her cultivation, she is taking the completely opposite path to me. She is transforming into Xiao Xiang'e!"

"However, this is a good thing for me!"
