shark [rebirth]

As soon as the breathing and heartbeat weakened, the vitality seemed to be dying like a candle in the wind. Xu Jin stepped on the window edge and jumped into the room and rushed to Pei Heng's bed.

Seeing that it was only half a foot away from Pei Heng, a sharp wind came straight through the air.

Xu Jin raised his hand to catch a sharp arrow, the body of the arrow forced to slash six or seven inches in his palm before stopping, the cluster of arrows glowed coldly, only inches away from his eyelashes.

He caught a glimpse of a long sword hanging beside him, and he held it with his backhand. The unsheathed sharp sword buzzed, and he held the sword to cut off the arrows flying across the sky one after another.

There was a whistle in the courtyard, and the shooter stopped. Xu Jin turned to look at Pei Heng, and stood guard in front of the couch with his sword in hand.

His breathing was a little messy, as if a hole had been dug in his heart, and severe pain and panic poured in uncontrollably, for fear that the man would never wake up again, and Yuan Dan, who was silent in the inner mansion, also began to agitate, his eyes were covered with blood, and his pale cheeks were deadly. It's appalling.

The door slammed open, and Jin Yu rushed in, eyes widened by Xu Jin's attack: "You..."

Jin Yu stood still a few steps away, glanced at Pei Heng who was behind Xu Jin, confirmed that he was safe and said: "Master put down the sword first, the one who just shot the arrow was Xuanjiawei, the young master suddenly entered the room, away from His Highness too Nearly, Xuanjiawei had no choice but to stop..."

Normally, Pei Heng did not have such strict security when resting, but today it was suddenly different.

Xu Jin knew that the arrow was aimed at him, not at Pei Heng, but he still stood in front of Pei Heng, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with him?"

If he doesn't wake up... what should he do?

Jin Yu was stunned. He didn't expect the shark demon to be more nervous than him. Pei Heng was dizzy for a moment and explained: "Your Highness is just taking care of his body. After taking the medicine, he fell asleep a little bit. It's okay...Young master, wait until he wakes up." Ask yourself."

Xu Jin's breathing gradually eased. He was dressed in black, outlining his muscular back and waist. Finally, he put his sword back in place, turned around and looked down at Pei Heng with an unclear expression.

Pei Heng still didn't respond, his sleeping face was picturesque.

Jin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but fell into a new dilemma.

Xu Jin didn't leave, and Jin Yu didn't dare to let the shark monster alone with the sleeping King Rui.Fortunately, Xu Jin agreed to him and obediently kept a distance of half a foot from Pei Heng.

Half a zhang is the death limit allowed by the Xuanjia guards in the dark when Pei Heng was asleep.

Jin Yu was confused, and really didn't understand what sorcery his lord cast on him, which made the young man look desperately worried.He knew that Xuanjiawei was safe and reliable, so he turned around and left the study.

After going out, he didn't close the door reassuringly, turned his head for the last time, and saw Xu Jin put down his guard, pulled a chair beside the couch, sat down and looked at Pei Heng.

It's really good, it's half a zhang away, no more than an inch, no less.

"..." Jin Yu Wangtian sighed, "What is this?"

Xu Jin looked at Pei Heng, sorting out all his unusual feelings carefully.He seemed to have forgotten something very important, but after searching all the past, there was nothing related to Pei Heng.

All he knew was that his not wanting to put Pei Heng in any danger was written in his bones and could explode at the touch of a button.

Is it a predestined relationship?But since he realized it, he was a shark demon in Yunfu Sea Realm.

In the samsara of the capital, the six roots are all cut off, and the old things are gone.There are nine levels in the three realms, and after crossing the sea of ​​suffering in the underworld, how can there be entanglements of looking forward and backward?

He has no answer.

In late spring, the breeze comes in through the window, and the shadows of flowers and branches are slanting horizontally.

Pei Heng's breathing in the room was light and soothing, the room was filled with a faint fragrance of medicine, and the scent of crabapple flowers and trees was still floating.

Xu Jin watched Pei Heng for a long time in such silence, and gradually felt at ease.

He has been sleeping these days, so he must have never seen anything unusual about Pei Heng.

Pei Heng's breathing and heartbeat gradually changed from weak to strong. When he woke up, when he opened his eyes, he was startled by Xu Jin beside him.

Last time he happened to wake up after Xu Jin got on the boat, but this time he was completely caught off guard, and Jin Yu was taken aback in his heart, Pei Heng looked at the people on the chair in wonder.

Xu Jin leaned against the back of the chair, with her left ankle resting on her right knee, her elbow resting on the armrest of the chair, and she fell asleep with her forehead resting on her forehead.

Being so wild while asleep, Pei Heng wanted to laugh, but when he woke up, Xu Jin was very sensitive, so he woke up too.

"What are you doing here?" Pei Heng stood up, and everything seemed normal without any discomfort.

"Look at you." Xu Jin sat up straight and said naturally.

Pei Heng's hand holding the tea trembled, and the teacup almost fell off: "What did you say?"

"Look at you." Xu Jin repeated, got up lazily, and turned around to ask, "Didn't you take care of your body before?"

His dark eyes were calm and pure, as if he was talking about what to eat tonight, Pei Heng said: "No way. Why, do you want to tell me something? You don't have to wait next time, it's the same with Jin Yu."

Xu Jin shook his head, Pei Heng pondered for a while, and asked, "Is staying too boring?"

After all, Xu Jin is a demon, he meditates day and night, he has no concept of boring.

Pei Heng said to himself: "You will inevitably be bored in the room by yourself. If you are bored, you should come to my place. Speaking of it, when a mortal boy looks like you, it is the time to study and learn."

Pei Heng pulled Xu Jin to the side of the bookshelf, pointed to the floors where it was most convenient to get books, and said: "Jin Yu said you can read, if I don't have time to accompany you, these are the story books, you can read them to pass the time, the upper two floors are regular books. Books, if you can’t sleep, take a look. Shen Zhan’s house also has a bookstore, Jin Yu has shown you the location, go there if you want.”

Xu Jin has been to the book pavilion, which has three floors, and countless slips of letters are neatly stacked inside.

Pei Heng casually pulled out a book of biographies of the late kings, pointed to a page and asked Xu Jin, "Do you know this one?"

Xu Jin looked at the neat ink marks on it, and there were annotations beside it. Yao's memory is usually very strong. After staying in the Hall of Nameless for a year, there are already many words he doesn't know.

But looking at Pei Heng's white and slender knuckles, Xu Jin tilted his head and replied, "I know half of them."

"Well, I'm free, I'll take you to write." Pei Hengyun said lightly.

Xu Jin didn't know why, but felt a little happy.

Pei Heng wrote to ask An Zhezi to seal it up. The Zhezi was for the Queen Mother and the Emperor respectively. Xu Jin picked up a military book on the other side of the study and looked up at Pei Heng from time to time.

When night fell, Xu Jin was lying on the opposite roof looking at the stars. He raised his head and squinted his eyes to see Pei Heng who was under the light in the window. Jin Yu was talking to Pei Heng in the room.

Pei Heng seemed to feel his gaze, looked out of the window, and smiled at Xu Jin, who also smiled faintly.

"Look at that posture, the hair is blown, and it's not like a fake to protect you."

Jin Yu explained the reason to Pei Heng, and Pei Heng only acted as a shark demon with a free heart, doing everything as he pleased.

"So, don't bully others indiscriminately." Jin Yu couldn't help but insinuating, thinking for Xu Jin, "You don't know the situation today, he looks so determined, I can even see..."

Pei Heng's ears were almost callused, so he stuffed the note into Jin Yu and sent it out.

Pei Heng called Xu Jin over: "I have something to go out tonight, come here, and change your medicine first."

Xu Jin didn't hesitate this time, took off his shirt, and was still a little uneasy when he turned his back to Pei Heng.

"Don't be afraid." Pei Heng said in a low voice.

Pei Heng took off the gauze, but saw that the superficial bruises on his body had dissipated, and the not too deep wounds healed quickly.

The wound on the side of the waist was the deepest, with almost bones visible, and it still needed to be bandaged, so Pei Heng wrapped him in gauze as usual.

At this speed, the recovery of Xu Jin's spiritual power was imminent, but there was no sign of recovery, Pei Heng frowned.

In the mansion, you can see newly shipped jade blank seed materials, finished and semi-finished products, large and small, which cannot fit in the shop warehouse, so they are temporarily stored here.

Yue Mo was disturbed by watching, as long as he was in the mansion these days, Pei Heng would often stay in the study and leave the yard.

As soon as Xu Jin arrived in the room, the fragrance of the medicine was clearly defined. He always thought of the first time he saw Pei Heng on the boat, he seemed to be so weak that he was almost out of breath.

Even though he often basks in the sun, Pei Heng's skin is still pale because he hasn't seen the sun for many years, his shoulders are broad and thin, and his straight back reveals a stroke that is easy to break.

He was always leaning against the bright white sunlight on the porch, with a thin side profile, and his eyes were so thin that he didn't know where to look. Xu Jin had the illusion that he would disappear little by little, leaving only the faint scent of medicine soaked in the bones around him.

Xu Jin really wanted to reach out to catch that breath, to hold this person.

The smell of crabapple that can be easily distinguished mixed with the smell of medicine, maybe he is the only one who has it.So Xu Jin felt some vague and unclear emotions in his heart.

This day was uncharacteristically, as soon as Xu Jin entered the study, he saw an exquisite wooden box on the table. Pei Heng rested his arm on the edge of the table and was carefully examining a stone in his hand. Slightly sharp.

The sun came out from the west, one must know that ever since the business started, Pei Heng would never have taken the initiative to touch those jade stones if Jin Yu hadn't forced him to sort them out.

"what is this?"

"Gold clusters, have you heard of them?"

Across the large desk, Pei Heng pushed the thing in his hand, the stone slid to the opposite side, and his slender fingers lightly tapped on the desk.

With a delicate expression, Xu Jin lowered his head, picked it up, played with it a few times, and nodded.

It was a piece of ore shaped like a cluster of quartz, with sharp prisms, thick dark gold, and a texture like jade and amber, as if solidified magma had blossomed into sharp flowers.

This is no ordinary ore.

If Xu Jin's spiritual power is normal at this time, with a little stimulation, the dark gold inside the ore will slowly flow.

The gold-plated cluster is a kind of spirit stone unique to Lingshan Divine Vein. It is extremely helpful and indispensable for those who practice Taoism to absorb and nourish the essence. It is like a famous sword in the hands of a martial arts practitioner, but the sword itself will not make the progress of martial arts rapid.

This thing is useless to ordinary people, and cultivators can't blow up mountains to find ore veins in the mortal world. The imperial court monopolizes the mining and trading of gilt clusters.

Most of the gilt clusters of the Dayan Empire were used as gifts to show favor.For example, during the emperor's tour of the East China Sea, the gilt clusters that accompanied the ship were all given to several great families. It was like a link, subtly connecting the relationship between the royal family and the worldly cultivators.

Xu Jin is a demon, so he naturally knew about this item. Influenced by what he had seen and heard recently, his first reaction was to ask, "Are you going to sell this?"

Pei Heng smiled and said, "It's not for sale, it's against the law to buy and sell this thing."

He said again: "I heard that the number of gilt clusters reported to the palace in Laizhou has decreased year after year. The reason given is that the Lingshan veins cannot be mined, and the mountains are empty, and no new spirit veins can be found."

"This thing is not that expensive, but it's not easy to mine. One vein is enough for you to dig from the founding of the country to the subjugation of the country." Xu Jin said plainly.

Pei Heng paused for a moment. He gradually discovered that Xu Jin knew a lot about worldly affairs, which should be attributed to Wumingdian.

"The word "subjugation" should not be premised on other people." Pei Heng leaned on the chair with a smile on his lips. As a prince, he didn't mind Xu Jin's rude words, as if this country was not his own.

It was very late at night, and Pei Heng returned home.He went out to drink every night, came back late at night, but got up early the next day, as if he didn't need to rest.

During the day, every time Jin Yu went to the study, she would always see Xu Jin staying beside Pei Heng, either quietly holding a book by herself, or lying on the desk to watch Pei Heng coloring the landscape painting.The maids in the mansion liked to surround Xu Jin, and the originally bleak Shen Mansion suddenly became popular, and the flowers and trees in the courtyard became more luxuriant and lush.

In the afternoon, Pei Heng drank the medicine again, Xu Jin came in and saw Pei Heng asleep, and he slept for an hour.

Just about to leave the room, Xu Jin suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark wisp of smoke by the window swimming into the room, sometimes condensed into a shape, sometimes ethereal and faint, and leaned towards Pei Heng.

It is spiritual power!

Xu Jin's expression sank immediately, and he rushed to Pei Heng's side. The moment he raised his hand, a golden glow appeared in his palm, and he rushed towards the sneaky spiritual power.

When Xu Jin approached, the black mist seemed to feel something, and quickly condensed and disappeared outside the window.

Xu Jin didn't have time to rejoice at the recovery of his spiritual power, and quickly cast a tight barrier around Pei Heng's body, rushed out of the window, leaped over the roof one after another like the wind, and chased in the direction where the spiritual power was fleeing.
