Anecdotes with facial paralyzed subordinates

Zhao Xuehan didn't know when he fell asleep.He was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and when he opened his eyes, it was already daylight.Yan Ke stood at the window, his tall figure blocked a large swath of sunlight.

Seeing Zhao Xuehan woke up, Yan Ke slightly raised his head.

"You're awake." He said, "The Winter Welcome Party ends today."

Zhao Xuehan rubbed his head and got up from the bed.The sounds of gongs, drums, firecrackers and bustling crowds on the streets all show a festive atmosphere.

"Want to go out and have a look?" Yan Ke asked.

Zhao Xuehan shook his head.For some reason, when he heard the words that the winter welcoming meeting was over, his heart felt heavy.There was a bad premonition that something was going to happen.

"Are those monks going back to the mountain today?" Zhao Xuehan asked.

"Yes." Yan Ke replied, "The last day of the winter festival. When the sun rises, the immortals return to the mountains, and then the residents begin to celebrate the arrival of winter."

"That is to say, there are no monks in the city now." Zhao Xuehan said.

"Most of them should have already left," Yan Ke said.

Zhao Xuehan silently took the milk handed by Yan Ke.Today is sunny, cloudless.The snow in the yard melted a little yesterday, and after a night of freezing, it was hard and slippery, so we had to be more careful when walking.

Zhao Xuehan drank milk without knowing how to taste it, but saw the Lin family's father holding a wine jug, gliding carefully on the snow, and came to the guest room of the two.

Seeing that the door of the room was open and Yan Ke was standing in front of the door, Father Lin smiled at him, entered the room, picked up the jug and poured wine into three glasses, and handed them to Yan Ke and Zhao Xuehan.

"The custom of the winter meeting." Father Lin said with a smile on his face, and the noise from the street came through the wall, "If on the day of the end, after sunrise, there are still immortals in the city. Adult male mortals must meet with immortals when they meet immortals." Immortals have a drink."

This is quite an interesting custom, Zhao Xuehan took the wine glass and thought.If a certain Pai Xianren didn't leave after the Winter Welcome Party because he had something to do, wouldn't mortals be drunk?

"Where's Lin Jue?" Zhao Xuehan put the cup to his mouth and joked, "If you say it this way, wouldn't Mr. Lin still want to toast Lin Jue?"

"What's the matter?" Lin's father smiled, "I want to have a drink with that kid, but he and Mr. Wen didn't know where he went this morning." He shook his head, "Could it be possible to hide us behind our backs again? Are you going back to the mountain with his master and brother?"

"It shouldn't be." Zhao Xuehan smiled, his lips touched the liquid in the cup.For a split second, he felt a burning sensation on his lips.

Is this wine going to be too strong?Zhao Xuehan was beating a drum in his heart.He was afraid of getting drunk again and causing trouble, so he quietly poured the wine on the ground while Father Lin was drinking with his head up.

Unexpectedly, when the wine spilled on the ground, there was a light piercing sound, the ground was instantly dark, and a faint burnt smell emerged.

Zhao Xuehan's hands trembled and he almost broke the wine glass.What kind of wine did Father Lin drink?If it really entered the stomach, wouldn't the internal organs be burned through?He looked up at Father Lin, only to see Father Lin smiling, flashing the empty wine glass at him, and putting it on the flagon tray.

Zhao Xuehan sighed "good wine" in a low voice, and hurriedly put the wine glass on it.He immediately looked at Yan Ke, and found that Yan Ke was also looking at him, the wine glass in his hand was empty, and there were black marks under his feet.

Zhao Xuehan breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Yan Ke put the cup on the tray, he invited Father Lin out of the room, and then tightly closed the door.

"Did he drink?" Zhao Xuehan asked Yan Ke.

"Drink." Yan Ke replied, "I saw him pour the wine into his mouth."

Zhao Xuehan glanced at Yan Ke in a daze, then took a few steps back and sat on the bed.

"The winter meeting is over, and the immortal monks have all left." Zhao Xuehan murmured, "Aren't we..."

"...Should I be killed too?"

Yan Ke frowned.Zhao Xuehan looked up at him.

"This city is not normal." He said, with a trembling voice, "The city has not allowed outsiders to enter for many years. Lin Jue has practiced for decades, and his playmate outside the city has become a middle-aged man. However, his parents in the city But he still looks like a middle-aged man, I'm afraid it hasn't changed in the past few decades. Father Lin drank that kind of wine but nothing happened..."

Zhao Xuehan swallowed: "I'm afraid he is no longer alive."

Yan Ke frowned more and more tightly. "If you say that, it's just that the Lin family is abnormal." He said, "Why bother to say that the whole city has problems."

"That's not the case." Zhao Xuehan's face turned pale, "I can read minds. When I enter this city, I can read the inner activities of you, Lin Jue, Brother Dong, and those immortals, but I can't read the minds of other residents in the city. .At first I was surprised, but then I realized..."

He bit his lip: "Mind reading cannot read the mental activities of dead people."

"There have been no outsiders in the city for many years. People from the city go out of the city to trade goods. If you change people in turn, you will not be discovered. And the monks rarely go down the mountain, and the memory of the people in the city is not very deep." Zhao Xuehan said Clutching the corner of his clothes tightly, "Lin Jue broke with his family and said he would never come back. He hadn't been to the city for decades, but came home suddenly. Seeing that his parents and servants have not changed, he must be suspicious."

He looked up at Yan Ke, "Lin Jue and we are both aliens that affect the stability of this city. When the immortal is here, the people who control the city are afraid of causing trouble and dare not act rashly. We are safe. Immortal If we leave, someone will definitely come and kill us."

Zhao Xuehan stood up and grabbed Yan Ke's sleeve: "So before the second person comes to kill us, call Lin Jue and Brother Dong, let's leave quickly."

Yan Ke looked at him.Zhao Xuehan was stunned for a while, then slightly let go of his hand.

"You already knew?" He asked in a low voice with a flash of fear in his eyes.

Yan Ke nodded.

"Then why do you still stay here?" Zhao Xuehan's voice trembled.

"He asked for it." Yan Ke said lightly.

Zhao Xuehan's lips trembled: "'He' is Lin Jue?"

Yan Ke didn't answer, he stared at Zhao Xuehan: "When did you find out?"

"The night when Lin Jue woke me up in the middle of the night. I guessed it." Zhao Xuehan said in a low voice.

Yan Ke narrowed his eyes slightly. "I'll be with you tomorrow, but I don't see anything." He said, "You know that the whole city is full of dead people, why don't you show any signs?"

"I can't help it." Zhao Xuehan's eyes were slightly red, "If I tell you that I'm afraid, you'll just make me think of nothing, just stay by your side. You obey Lin Jue, Brother Dong also made me trust him , but Lin Jue died long ago. I don’t know anything, leaving you and this city will lead to death. This city is full of dead people, I am afraid of death every day, but what can I do!”

"I know it's useless for me to be afraid, so I might as well be happier every day." He looked up at Yan Ke, grinned, and showed a wry smile, "You can feel at ease when you look at it, can't you?"

Yan Ke's eyes shrank suddenly, "I..." He paused slightly, and finally changed his words.

"Who do you think did it?" he asked. "Who do you think killed the entire city and then controlled them for decades?"

Zhao Xuehan wiped his eyes. "There are immortal monks who are familiar with this city, but they are indifferent to the strange situation in this city." He whispered, "I suspect it is one of them."

Yan Ke pursed his lips, he held Zhao Xuehan's arm, and pulled him to his side: "Let's go."

Zhao Xuehan was stunned: "Where are you going?"

"Get out of here." Yan Ke picked out a thick coat and put it on Zhao Xuehan, "As you said, leave this city. Before they kill us."

"Wait..." Zhao Xuehan said, "Then Brother Dong and Lin Jue..."

"Mr. Wen, he will find a way," Yan Ke pushed open the door, and pulled Zhao Xuehan into the courtyard, "As for Lin Jue..."

He turned to look at Zhao Xuehan: "Are you afraid of him?"

Zhao Xuehan hesitated for a while, then nodded slightly.

"Then we don't have to worry about him." Yan Ke said, wrapping his arms around Zhao Xuehan's waist, and was about to carry him on his shoulders, but was stopped by a clear and clear boyish voice.

"Stop!" Lin Jue jumped off the courtyard wall and stood firmly on the icy snow. He patted the hem of his clothes lightly, looked up at the two people in the courtyard with a smile.

"You can't go," he said.

Zhao Xuehan flinched, but still took two steps forward. "Lin Jue," he said, "I don't know why you insist on staying in this city. But it's too dangerous here now, if you don't leave, you and I will both..."

"How?" Lin Jue interrupted Zhao Xuehan, looking straight at him, "You want to escape? Don't you want to catch the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"Lin Jue!" Yan Ke stopped him in a low voice, but Lin Jue ignored Yan Ke and continued on his own: "It's easy for you to walk like this. What about the people in this city? If there are people after you What should they do when they enter the city? Can they just wait to die?"

Zhao Xuehan lowered his head. "My ability is limited." He whispered, "I can't save so many people, I just want to let the four of us leave safely as much as possible."

"Limited ability?" Lin Jue sneered, and tapped his forehead with the back of his finger, "Limited ability, just think about yourself and your companions being able to walk, this is a brotherhood."

He raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Xuehan: "So because of your limited ability, you only took that mute away in the town of Qingling Valley?"

"How do you know..." Zhao Xuehan looked at Lin Jue, at a loss.

"Of course I know." Lin Jue sneered, "Saving the dumb demon cultivator, doesn't it give you a sense of accomplishment? You must be thinking in your heart, how kind and just I am, to save a dumb man from being wronged and dying. Fate?"

"I didn't think so..." Zhao Xuehan said, but was interrupted by Lin Jue.

"You are limited in ability, vain and hypocritical, but timid and timid. You saved the mute, and then left without caring about anything." Lin Jue said coldly, "Have you thought about it, when you hurriedly took the mute with you?" After escaping, a group of unarmed villagers were left beside the group of monks, what will happen to them?"

Zhao Xuehan raised his eyes and looked at Lin Jue in horror.He never thought about the villagers.Lin Jueyi said, that bad premonition gripped his heart tightly.

"Shut up!" Yan Ke said angrily, stretched out his hand and raised a gust of wind towards Lin Jue, Lin Jue's expression remained unchanged, he drew out the sword at his waist and shattered the wind.

"What? Are you afraid that he will know?" Lin Jue looked at Yan Ke and sneered, "If you have the guts to do such a mindless thing, then you have the guts to accept the result."

He pointed at Zhao Xuehan with a mocking look on his face: "That's right, you saved that dumb man. But when the monk's crimes were exposed, he became furious and was not punished. In the end, he slaughtered the entire village and took away their souls." .”

"This ending is your 'limited ability', timid and fearful, but you think you are smart and insist on pursuing justice." Lin Jue looked at Zhao Xuehan, who was as white as paper, and sneered, "Are you satisfied?"
