[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, after eating glutinous rice balls and looking at the lanterns, I bought a few Kunlun slave masks, which are often seen in Daming Palace Ci, and this new year is completely over.

Originally, Shen Xi thought nothing would happen on the first day of the new year, but she was startled by the people who came to seek medical treatment at the door.Those who were sent to Shen Xi's place were basically from poor families who couldn't afford the consultation fees of famous doctors, and they only came to seek treatment when they remembered the famous virgin doctors who were very flamboyant a few years ago.

On the seventh day of Chu, when I went out to buy vegetables, I inquired and found out that there was a stampede on the Tianjin Bridge in the middle of the night last night because too many people went out to watch the lanterns. Falling and crushing in the crowd.Because the time of the accident was relatively late, Shen Xi had already returned, so she didn't hear about it.

Fortunately, there were no serious casualties, otherwise Shen Xi would be woken up by people seeking medical treatment in the middle of the night.

On the way back after buying some groceries, Chu Qi, as usual, stopped by to look at the chivalry list. As expected, there were new missions on the official yellow list, which were still related to what happened last night.

He conveniently revealed the list, went back to say hello to Shen Xi, and went to investigate according to the situation introduced on the list.

Shen Xi's inability to grow up has been publicized through various rumors, and in this era, the practice of immortality is very popular, and even many people in the rivers and lakes have learned a little magic, so the generals of the lower realm who have a high degree of acceptance of strange people and strangers The public, while guessing the real age of this soft and sweet-looking little girl, by the way, also used their imagination to make up their own brains about the relationship between Shen Xi and Chu Qi.

As for whether Shen Xi will show Director Jin's face or a violent face after hearing dozens of versions of the gossip, that's unknown.

The injuries that come to see a doctor are basically traumatic injuries. Shen Xi has a Gu technique to cheat. While gnawing on the freshly made spicy crispy pancakes, she finishes the diagnosis one by one at a slower speed than flipping through a book. The results are quicker and the efficiency is quite good. high.

Regarding the question of whether he was too leisurely and would eat snacks when healed people, would he be beaten up by the patient's family with a sack covered in a sack, Shen Xi felt that all the books written by Mr. Now this world is also common.

Most of the morning passed, and the patients in the front yard had almost left.While sending the patient away, Shen Xi also heard some gossip about the stampede last night from the patient's family.

It is said that a strange fire broke out at Zhaocheng Temple in the north of the city. The fire was extremely intense, but it was clearly on the upwind side, and the fire did not spread out at all. One of the consequences of violent law enforcement is that it indirectly leads to stampede incidents.

After hearing the whole story, Shen Xi silently turned her head away.It turns out that the people of the Celestial Dynasty like to move small benches to watch, and the city management's law enforcement style is too unrestrained, etc. It is really a long-standing tradition.

But why does Zhaocheng Temple seem to have been mentioned by someone before?

Shen Xi tilted her head, still didn't think of any clues, and didn't bother to delve into the reason, so she directly closed the door, turned and went into the kitchen to cook porridge.

For foodies, it is undoubtedly a very happy thing to have enough time to think about what to eat and how to eat every day.

At noon, stir-fry shredded pork with celery and braised meatballs with Chinese cabbage. When you are full, stew carrots and mutton. After two hours, start the pot and have dinner by the way. The time is just right~

After eating and drinking, stewed mutton, played with Gu worms for a while, took a nap and read a book, and the afternoon passed.

Looking out the window, it was already dusk. Usually at this time, the seventh day of the seventh day has almost finished the list.But there was no one there, and the steaming mutton stew was cold, so Shen Xi had no choice but to reheat the food and eat it by herself first.

As for whether Chuqi would have food when she came back, Shen Xi said that anyway, that guy can cook, and she also saved enough ingredients, as long as the person who eats the dark cooking is not herself, everything is optional.

When the curfew came, and Chu Qi hadn't come back yet, Shen Xi felt a little irritable. The younger generation didn't come home overnight, and it was not acceptable to any - who thinks he is - the parent's cognition matter.

She remembered that when she came back from grocery shopping on the seventh day of the morning, she mentioned that she had taken on the task of investigating the fire in the middle of the night during the Lantern Festival...

Now she also remembered that she had heard about Zhaocheng Temple from Chu Qi.

So Shen Xi packed up some things and walked down the alley to the Tianjin Bridge connecting the north and south of Luoyang City.Although Luoyang was still a city that never sleeps the day before, after the Lantern Festival, there is still a curfew.

Cautiously hiding behind a pile of sundries, the little girl tiptoed across the street after the patrolling guards passed by, and dodged into the opposite alleyway. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the sound of armor rubbing came from the corner in front of her again. , so he immediately leaned down and leaned against the corner of the wall, not daring to make a sound...

Only at this time did Shen Xi deeply realize how painful it is to be a Zhan Wuscum who lacks physical strength. Among other things, if he has learned how to make light of himself, he doesn't have to dodge like a thief at this time .

However, with Shen Xi's physique, it is useless to learn it. If you have this skill to think about it, you might as well think about how to sneak into Zhaocheng Temple, which has been put under martial law by the government.

Shen Xi's idea was to use Gu to control a guard guarding a remote place outside Zhaocheng Temple, and let him take a ladder to send herself up the wall.After ordering the guards to leave, Shen Xi remembered one thing, there was no ladder inside the courtyard wall to take her down.

After walking along the wall for a while, Shen Xi's eyes lit up. After about a quarter of an hour, she finally slid down the tree trunk and returned to the ground, covered in dust and dead branches and leaves as she wished.

Although the wrist was bleeding from the rough bark, the clothes were worn out in several places, and the cold wind was blowing chills, but it was better than jumping off and breaking a bone.

Looking down at the embarrassment of this body, Shen Xi's face puffed up - it was all Chu Qi's fault!

After a little tidying up, she took out the rope and tied the cuffs tightly, then lifted the skirt and tied it at the knees, and after making sure that the clothes would no longer hinder her movement, she began to look around her surroundings.

It has been sunny recently, and now it is the [-]th day of the first lunar month. It is reasonable to say that the moonlight should be very good, but after crossing the courtyard wall of Zhaocheng Temple, Shen Xi has not seen any light from the moon, although it is not enough to stretch out his fingers. , but everything around is only some dark and blurred outlines.The monks in the temple had already been evacuated, and it was eerily quiet at the moment.

It is worth noting that this place does not look like it has just passed through a fire. Even if it cannot be seen in the distance, the nearby buildings do not have any traces of burning. No matter how you look at it, it looks weird.

With Shen Xi's eyesight, it's still impossible to tell whether it's a demon or a ghost here, but it doesn't look like an ordinary person. He can make troubles in the gods, and even let the government avoid their edge and choose to issue a yellow list for recruitment. People in the rivers and lakes, I think they have a lot of energy.

After thinking about it like this, Shen Xi became a little worried about Chu Qi again.

A few of the Gu worms that were planted on Chu Qi's body by Congyang Yaozhuo had survived to this day, and within the scope of Zhaocheng Temple, it was no effort for Shen Xi to sense the location of the Gu worms.But in fact, it is not as clear as usual, and it feels intermittent and noisy. If I must describe it, it is a bit like a current microphone interfered by a mobile phone signal.

Shen Xi frowned, pulled out the coral flute, held it in her hand, and walked towards a direction with a vague sense.
