Xie Junlian packed up the washed bowls and chopsticks, placed them by the stove, and wiped off the water droplets on his hands.She listened attentively, and the movement in the hall outside had disappeared. She cautiously poked her head to see that the man who had drunk lay down by the table, and started snoring after a while.

She walked over to pick up the wine glass, and there was still half a glass of residual wine in it, and the rice wine liquid was cloudy, covering the powder that hadn't completely melted at the bottom of the glass.Because it was a temporary idea, it left traces hastily. Fortunately, the man was relaxed when he was drinking, so he didn't notice it.She poured out the wine in the glass mixed with the powder, rinsed the glass carefully, and replaced it with the good wine in the urn.Pushing the man who was in a deep sleep, seeing that he was just talking in his sleep and not waking up, he quietly went back to the room alone.

People who come out of that kind of place always have something shady in their hands.She kept it carefully hidden, risking trouble if found out, hoping never to use it—but it did.

Xie Junlian sat by the bed, put the jewelry box on his lap and opened it.The gorgeous jewelry given to her by guests in the past was either given to others when they left, or exchanged for money, which is no longer in her own hands.Only a few more simple styles are left for daily wear.Xie Junlian picked up the unremarkable silver hairpin, held it in his hand and looked at it quietly.She remembered the day when her brother and her brother were sold by their parents. The mother in the building looked at her face carefully, smiled softly, and said their names were very good.

—— Xie Jun "Yu", Xie Jun "Pity".It sounds like the meaning of tactful love.

There is also a small mirror in the jewelry box, and her face is reflected in the mirror.She is the same as her brother, her face is not gorgeous, only a pair of eyes that look at each other casually, it seems to be affectionate.Her brother was 14 when she was sold, and she was only eight years old. Although she was not old enough to receive customers, she would not be able to escape if she really wanted to be spotted by customers.The place where they live is chaotic, with a lot of rude people, and my brother sometimes makes her hide under the bed so that she won't be seen running around outside.

...Although doing so, it only delayed a little more time, and it couldn't really change anything.

She had heard and seen her brother in the most embarrassing condition, and cleaned his wounds with her own hands.She has seen the ugliest face in this world.Because of her good playing of the piano and those eyes, she was taken away from her brother when she grew up and went to a more "elegant" place. She has been kept a secret all the time, and she is not allowed to meet with her brother more often.

However, based on the tacit understanding between them, in fact, there is no need to meet each other, as long as they look at each other from a distance, and an action of stroking their sleeves or window sills, they can complete the communication.

Instead, after that person redeemed them from the building together, she never heard from her brother again.She could only hear from other people that her brother was being well taken care of and was recuperating at ease... Apart from that, she didn't see anyone, nor did she send any messages or letters.If it wasn't for the unbroken sense of blood relationship, she would have suspected that her brother was dead.

She cherishes her current life very much. Although her husband has some minor problems of being greedy for money and wine, he treats her well.but……

Xie Junlian gently pinched the two ends of the silver hairpin and unscrewed it from the middle.The silver hairpin is empty inside, which was given to her by a previous guest of hers.The guest had no money, but he knew some wonderful tricks. He said that there were "worms" in this hairpin, which could help her escape the predicament, and she must not use it until she was desperate.

Xie Junlian looked into the small black narrow tube, it seemed to be empty inside, nothing could be seen.It's been several years, so the worm is dead, right?She is not afraid of paying the price, but she is afraid that this method has failed.She followed the method that the guest said, with the mouth of the tube facing down, pressed on her wrist and knocked.

A small piece of black stuff floated down from the tube, like a crushed sesame seed, and landed on her wrist.Xie Junlian stared at it suspiciously, not sure if this was the "bug" or just a piece of dirt?The sharp pain that followed caused her to bite her lips tightly before suppressing a scream—a piece of skin on her wrist suddenly wrinkled, as if the moisture had been sucked away.

The black thing began to swell rapidly, and many slender black feet stretched out from under the drop-shaped body. The front end arched and began to drill into her wrist.

Great, it seems it can still be used... She was trembling all over, holding one hand stiffly flat, while the other hand was desperately clenched to the edge of the bed, enduring the severe pain of being bitten by flesh and blood.The worm crawled under her skin, protruding a slowly moving bulge, where the flesh sank and became dry and wrinkled like a dead leaf.

She didn't dare to touch it, and could only feel it climbed up her shoulder with the pain perception, and then drilled deeper.Sitting stiffly for a while, the churning in her abdomen made her bend over and retch, a black object fell to the ground along with bloodshot and gastric juice.

The appearance of the bug changed drastically after eating.It has grown to the size of half a palm, and there is an extra bump on its back.She had a wonderful feeling in her heart, as if her mind was connected with another living being, and through this connection, she gained a new perspective: seeing the ground from a low and close place, and seeing herself hidden in the hem of her skirt. under the feet.

The worm conveyed to her all the sights it had seen.

Xie Junlian clenched his hands tightly, enduring the pain that seemed to split his head and the dizziness caused by the weird vision, thinking about the place he had been to during the day.Go there... go there!She begged repeatedly in her heart.The worm obeyed her will, quickly got out of the house through the crack in the wall, and climbed into the grass outside the house.

Its legs looked thin and short, but it ran extremely fast. Even if someone saw it passing by, they would only see a flashing shadow.On the way, Xie Junlian vomited again because of the sudden shaking of his vision, but he still struggled to identify the location, guiding the insects to find the yard and the lonely hut in the yard, and crawled into the house through the window.Candles were lit in the room, but the light was still very dim. While she was dizzy, she recognized the figure lying on the bed, and tears suddenly fell from the eye sockets that had been dry before.

"Brother..." she whispered, knowing that the call could not be heard.Xie Junyu was in a deep sleep, or in a coma, with dull, dry hair scattered around the pillow, making his face extremely pale.One of his hands was placed outside the quilt, and the wrist and fingertips were wrapped with white cloth strips, so it was impossible to see what kind of injury was underneath.Xie Junlian seemed to have really turned into the worm that had eaten her flesh and blood, crawled up the foot of the bed, and reached Xie Junyu's hand.

The guest's reminder sounded in her ears, making her hesitate again.But she only hesitated for a moment, and made the choice instead of her brother.The worm opened its jaws that were as sharp as a blade, and bit the skinny wrist next to its mouth.The bulge on its back became active, and it turned out to be another small black bug that crawled into Xie Junyu's body along the wound it had bitten.

Xie Junyu didn't move at all.Probably this little pain was already completely insignificant to him.Instead, when Xie Junlian tried to call him softly again, and the voice came into his heart through the two worms, his brows were slightly frowned, and his lips moved, as if to say "go".

Xie Junlian didn't want to wake him up, so he decided to leave after trying.She let the worm crawl back on the ground, ordering it to return as soon as possible.Only when the female worm returns to her body can the action be considered complete.The female worm eats her flesh and blood in half, and the larvae she produces are planted in other people's bodies, and they can transmit orders over a long distance, making people painful but unable to die.It is used by her to send messages and save people, perhaps it has never been used before.

On the way back from the worm, a thought came to Xie Junlian's mind, and he suddenly regretted it: Why didn't she think of letting the worm bite Xu Xingchun earlier?Let him also taste the severe pain of the insects gnawing in his body, and force him to let his brother go away...

But she had already been bitten, so she had no choice but to comfort herself: that bastard must have a way to drive away the worm, and this last resort would be in vain... The guests who gave her the worm were all bad themselves, so the worm is naturally not very good Things, feeding the mother worm cost her half her life, and the larvae are also very fragile.The effect is to put it nicely, but actually kill it with a little real energy.If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have kept it useless after receiving it.

The worm has come to the wall of Xu Mansion and will be back soon.Xie Junlian gritted her teeth and clutched her injured wrist, ready to get up and clean up the mess on the ground after vomiting.As soon as she stood up, her body froze suddenly.

The bug didn't move.It was pressed to the ground by some kind of force, and its legs curled up together.Xie Junlian saw through the worm's vision, a fluffy cat's head approached, with green eyes, as if it wanted to swallow her in one gulp.She desperately urged the bug to escape, but got no response at all.A thin smog-like thing floated from the white cat, forming a translucent human figure above the cat.

It was a young monk wearing a white robe, barefoot and bald.The monk holds a wooden stick in one hand and a rosary in the other. His face is as beautiful as a woman's, and his expression is peaceful, which makes people feel kind at first sight.He bent down, obviously a shadow of nothingness, but pinched the bug that was frozen in the grass between his fingers, and picked it up.

He looked at the ferocious black female worm, Xie Junlian felt chills all over his body, and felt that those eyes saw her through the worm.The corner of the monk's lips curled up, he smiled slightly, and shook his head again. "It's a poor man too." He sighed, and then threw the bug back into the grass with a light toss.

The invisible imprisoning force disappeared.The female worm fled in a panic, and Xie Junlian sat back on the edge of the bed in the room, vomited a mouthful of blood, but after all, the connection with the two worms was not disconnected.The monk's phantom raised his head, as if he could see through the courtyard wall, glanced in the direction of Lu's house, then turned his head to look at Xu Xingchun's study in Xu's mansion.His illusory figure flickered slightly, and pulled away from the cat.

The white cat shook its head, staggered a few steps like drunkenness, and then fell to the ground, dead with bleeding from its mouth and nose.The figure of the monk dissipated like smoke, and he didn't know where he went in an instant.

After Lu You felt the aura last night, he felt as if he had awakened the body memory belonging to the "fox demon", and suddenly mastered this skill completely.The feeling of communicating with the aura between heaven and earth is very wonderful. Compared with before, it is like a person who has been stuffed with his head in the water, and finally raised his head to breathe the air.

He noticed the spells that Yunzheng had placed around the house - he only knew that there was such a thing before, but now he could feel those faint fluctuations.Moreover, he seems to have learned illusion without a teacher, because when he woke up in the morning, although his whole body was still hurting, the marks made by Yun Zheng on his body were gone.After the maids left, Lu You unbelievingly pressed the place where the pinch mark should have been on his leg, and he made a "hiss" in pain as soon as he exerted force.

…Then those traces that looked more terrifying after a night appeared again, and the previous intact appearance was just an illusion.

I said "it seems" because Lu You still couldn't take the initiative to use it. He stared at the passing maid and tried "Making a Dream", but he succeeded in making the girl turn red and leave in a hurry—but obviously it was only because of being stared at by him. For the sake of wearing.After trying a few times, he changed his eagerness for success, and went back to practicing the illusion he knew at the beginning.Now that he could "see" the flow of spiritual energy, he realized how powerful this black art was when it was used. The ripples of spiritual energy swayed layer by layer around him, creating an overwhelming illusion in this small courtyard.

"...Is this sorcery also related to your 'transmission'?" Lu You murmured to the system.The system snorted twice, but did not give a positive answer, probably acquiescing.

It was only then that Lu You realized how conspicuous his evil spirit would look if he released it undisguisedly... Fortunately, Yun Zheng helped cover it for him first, and then he subconsciously restrained himself.If he had been as careless as he was when he was first thrown here, probably all the monster exorcisers in the surrounding area would be attracted to him...

Today, Yun Zheng put on a dutiful appearance, guarding the door solemnly as a guard, or walking around on patrol in the yard, passing by his field of vision ten times in an hour.Lu You then found a new way to play the game. Every time he saw Yun Zheng walking by, he would use black magic to move his clothes or saber. Face helplessly blocked and eliminated the monster power enough to be used as an attack, and he was very proficient in playing until it was getting late.

Tonight, there are burning clouds in the sky, and all the houses and trees on the ground are reflected in red colors.When that tiny thing appeared above the small courtyard and flew straight towards Lu You's window, at first Lu You thought it was the white bird left by Yun Zheng who had sneaked out to play and came back sometime.But the white bird immediately jumped to his hand, and a bird's face actually showed a serious expression.

The thing flew into the window, hit Lu You with its head, and was caught by him in a hurry - it should have been looking for the white bird.It was an origami crane folded from yellow talisman paper, one corner of the wing was stained with blood, and it was completely motionless in his hand.
