Romance is broken again

Nie Yan opened his eyes quietly, and had been practicing with his eyes closed just now, but the moment Xu Cong got on the carriage, he already knew it was him.He also looked at Xu Congyi. There was not much space inside the carriage. Although Xu Congyi chose the farthest position, it was still very close. Wu narrow space is magnified to countless times.

In addition, he still had the fox demon's red dress in his cuffs, and suddenly that red dress seemed to carry an unknown heat, and this heat went straight to his skin, bringing a strange burning sensation.

"Here with me." Nie Yan said the words coldly, her heartstrings were fluctuated by an inexplicable force, but on the outside, her handsome face was still as calm as ever.

Xu Cong pursed his lips slightly, and then smiled silently.

This smile contained a strong and indelible sadness, and even this kind of sadness infected Nie Yan who was sitting opposite him.

Nie Yan looked at the sadness rippling in Xu Cong's eyes, his eyes flickered almost imperceptibly, and his fingers tightened immediately, holding the pitch-black Buddhist beads in his palm.Press back those inexplicable emotions that shouldn't be in your body.

"Can you return it to me later?" Xu Congyi smiled sincerely.

Nie Yan frowned slightly: "You can't escape."

"I know, of course I know." Xu Congyi looked away, and turned to look at the car window that was blown open a little by the wind, and the strange scenery outside the street quickly passed by, "I think you know it well, so you can Take my clothes away. Without it. I am like an ordinary human being. Once my heart is dug out, I will die. You return my clothes, and in that way, I can come back to life after death."

"It's okay to say that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death. I really don't want to die unjustly like this. But you can rest assured that I will not take revenge. I know my own strength very well. I don't have too many other demands. I just want to be with Nie Sheng and live a stable life. We have never hurt anyone, but you are constantly hurting us."

"You didn't take Nie Sheng with you, where did you put her? Is she safe?" Xu Congyi looked at Nie Yan expectantly. As for the question just now, it was just a question, and he didn't expect to get any answer from Nie Yan .

Nie Yan stared at Xu Congyi's bright eyes, nodded and said, "I put Nie Sheng in a temple, and put a barrier on it, so no one will notice and disturb her."

"That's it, that's good." The smile on Xu Cong's face was completely from the heart, like the first ray of sunlight projected from the blue sky in the morning, like the beautiful snowflakes flying in the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, and like the colorful sky after the rain The gorgeous rainbow hits the heart for no reason.

Nie Yan looked away as if avoiding something, and silently recited a Buddha's words in his heart.

The Prince's Mansion is quite a distance from the Imperial Palace. Although the carriage is fast, it still takes nearly half an hour to reach the Imperial Palace.

There were guards guarding the gate, and before the carriage approached, just by looking at the luxurious carriage, one could immediately know that it was Prince Yaoguang who was coming. The guard waved his arm behind him, and when he heard "Open the city gate", the gate opened inward.

When the carriage came up slowly, the guards took three steps at a time, walked quickly to the side of the carriage, bowed their upper body, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness."

The curtain of the car was lifted by an arm, and the prince Yaoguang looked down at the guards with their heads down, and ordered: "There is no need to check the car next door."

The guard's face was still respectful, without any change in emotion, he just replied in a deep voice: "Yes, let's go." The guard turned and said to the other guards.

The prince's chariot was driving in front, followed by a more ordinary one. The guards lowered their heads. From the corner of their eyes, they saw the prince's chariot approaching the palace gate, and then slowly straightened up. Immediately, their eyes fixed on the carriage behind. superior.I was a little curious in my heart, who would be sitting inside.

After the carriage entered the palace gate, its speed slowed down immediately, and then passed through several gates, but no one in Xu Congyi's carriage went to check.

Until the back, the carriage stopped outside a majestic and huge palace gate.

Standing upright outside the palace gate were several soldiers wearing armor and holding iron swords. When the soldiers saw the carriage, they raised their iron swords to signal people to get off the carriage.

The Taoist got out of the car first, followed by the prince.

When the soldiers saw the prince, their attitude was still neither humble nor overbearing.The voice was sonorous and powerful: "His Royal Highness."

"Your Majesty, when did he sleep last night?" The prince glanced at the soldier, and asked with a calm expression.

"Return to Your Highness, Chou Shi."

"Are you awake now?"

"Just woke up."

"En." The crown prince nodded slightly, and walked sideways into the palace.

Xu Congyi and Nie Yan in the other carriage got out of the carriage one after another. They had just taken two steps when they were stopped by soldiers who called other people behind them to come and search them.

Mie Yan just stood there, with a stern and pure face, and one could tell from his appearance that he was a Buddhist. He was so dignified that the inspecting soldiers couldn't help but dare not dare to insult him under his solemn aura, and the inspection was completed soon.

As for Xu Congyi, because of his fox demon physique, even if he didn't have the idea of ​​bewitching anyone, the soldiers who approached him were still seduced by his foxy aura, and the original inspection gradually began to deteriorate.The soldier's body search began to show signs of ambiguity, Xu Cong bit his lip, and a look of humiliation appeared in his eyes.Nie Yan next to him kept his eyes on Xu Congyi, seeing the soldiers' movements becoming more and more irregular, and suddenly felt a little angry in his heart. He didn't know the cause of the anger, but when he reacted, he had already caught the soldier. Hold the soldier's hand.

The soldier moaned in pain, and Mie Yan grabbed the man's wrist, and his voice suddenly became cold: "Enough, he is not something you can touch."

The soldier's hand bones were almost crushed, and he repeatedly cried out in pain.

Nie Yan shook off the soldier's arm, walked to Xu Congyi's side, and took out a fiery red robe from his cuff.

Xu Cong glanced at the clothes that suddenly appeared, raised his eyes, and looked at Nie Yan. The monk had a cold face, but if he looked carefully, he could see some anger in his eyes that had not completely dissipated.

He reached for the clothes and put them on.

The prince in front was raising his foot to step over the threshold. Hearing the voice behind him, he stopped his movement. He turned his head, and a fiery red was seen in his vision, which was as red as fresh blood, which made the prince's heart palpitate for a moment, and then he Looking at Xu Congyi's gaze, there is a special deep meaning.

The Taoist priest who has always been by the prince's side was unexpectedly sharp-eyed. It can be said that he saw the change in the prince's expression immediately, and immediately had another plan in his heart.

Wait a while to find a good time and tell the prince.

The rest of the guards brought by the prince were waiting outside the gate of the palace, and the three of them, the prince and a demon, walked into the palace.

Go through the open courtyard in front and go straight to the house in the middle.

Not long after, they came to a bedroom.The surroundings are quiet and peaceful, only the sound of some birdsong can be heard vaguely.The prince stepped up the steps, grabbed the doorknob with both hands, and slowly and firmly pushed the door back.

The room was as dead silent as the outside, but if one listened carefully, one could hear a faint, intermittent breathing.

In the room was a large bright yellow bed with carved patterns, on which lay a person in white obscene clothes.

The man was about 50 years old, with a pale complexion, dark blue lips, and thick black bags under his eyes. When he heard the footsteps of someone coming in, he regarded it as a servant of the palace, and his half-dripped eyelids did not move.

When he heard the sound of not one but several footsteps in the back, his eyelids trembled and slowly opened upwards.

The first thing he saw was Prince Yaoguang walking in front, his gaze moved slowly, and he saw three other strange faces, which could be distinguished at a glance from the clothes, one was from the Taoist sect, and the other was from the Buddhist sect.

There is also the last one, dressed in blood-red outer clothes, whose appearance is unrecognizable to everyone, but those eyes seem to be soul-stirring, and it is obvious that there is a strange impulse to indulge in them.

"Royal Father." Standing beside the bed, Yaoguang called out in a low voice.

The seriously ill emperor leaned on the bed with his elbows, moved his body up a little bit, watched his movements with light, and hurried over to help him.

"Cough cough." The emperor Na Jin feared covering his mouth and coughed twice, his voice weak and powerless, "Didn't you just come yesterday, why did you come again today? Have you finished processing all the memorials given to you?"

The prince shook his head: "No."

Hearing the prince's tone, the emperor didn't blame himself at all, his eyes turned cold, and he said sharply: "Don't deal with business, and make such a childish gesture every day, how can you rest assured that I will hand over this country to you in the future?"

Being accused by Yitong, the prince replied in a deep voice: "Father, I just want to cure your illness as soon as possible."

"So, are you planning to abandon Liming people?"

"No."

"what is that?"

The prince turned his gaze to the Taoist priest.

The Taoist understood what he meant and took a few steps forward.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has found a good medicine for you to cure your illness. After taking it, your illness will soon be cured." The Taoist said respectfully with a slight bow.

The emperor looked at the Taoist priest, but he couldn't see anything in his hand. Even when he looked at the two people behind him, he didn't see anything.

"I am very clear about my physical condition. I don't need to do these useless efforts anymore. It is only right to spend some time and energy on learning how to deal with state affairs." The emperor said this to the prince.

The prince got up from the bed and left, he fixed his eyes on his father who was half leaning on the bed.

"This is the last time. If I still fail this time, I will listen to my father and stop multitasking."

The words he uttered seemed like an oath.

The prince's character, as a father, is naturally clear, the emperor nodded: "Well, remember today's words."

"What medicine did you find this time?" the emperor asked casually.

The prince's frowning brows were released, and there was a smile on his face.

"Nine-tailed demon fox."

The emperor was surprised when he heard this: "Demon fox?"

"Yes, I read in a medical book that the heart of the nine-tailed demon fox can cure all diseases, even people who are about to die, if they eat it, they can immediately regain their sanity."

The emperor had heard of this legend before, but he had never actually seen it, so he was dubious about the legend. Besides, he had always worshiped the Buddha, and he had never thought about such things as cutting his chest open and digging out his heart.For a rumor that might be just wrong, he went to dig out the heart of a demon fox and killed a creature, which made the emperor feel unbearable.

"This method is not advisable. If it doesn't work, I will take the life of that demon fox." In fact, there is another reason. The emperor once had a beloved concubine, and that concubine was a demon. Missing, looking for today, still unsuccessful.

The prince's next words immediately relieved the emperor's worries.

"Father, don't worry, this fox demon has nine tails, which means it has nine lives. If you dig out a heart, it will grow a new one after being resurrected. Although you dig out its heart, it's not just like that, father The emperor can rectify its name, help it practice, and attain the Tao as soon as possible."

"Is this possible?" The emperor was usually busy with government affairs, and he didn't know much about the practice of monsters than the prince.

"Of course." Seeing that the emperor's attitude had softened, the prince said immediately.

The emperor leaned back slightly and closed his eyes.That meaning is obvious, and I agree with what the prince did.

The prince turned his attention to the Taoist priest. The prince would definitely not do such a heart-gouging act by himself. The Taoist priest took the prince's order, took out a sharp dagger from his body, and pulled out the dagger.

Walking towards Xu Congyi, he whispered, "I heard that the heart needs to be dug alive to keep it fresh for the best medicine effect."

Xu Congyi's pupils dilated, his eyes shook in fear, staring at the dagger approaching his body, he backed up again and again, when his heels touched the door, he looked at Nie Yan in a panic, but Nie Yan unexpectedly did not look at it. Instead, he stared at the Taoist priest without moving his eyes.

"Anyway, you have so many lives, and once you die, there are still eight times. Relax, I will move quickly, so that you will suffer less pain."

Xu Congyi couldn't help shaking his head in confusion and horror. He was too frightened, and several bright red tails suddenly jumped out from behind, shaking back and forth uneasily in the void.

The Taoist stared at the fox tails emerging from Xu Congyi, and the evil light in his eyes was even more sinister.

A stream of light flashed across the raised short dagger, and the Taoist priest used the whisk to hold Xu Congyi's body in place, stepped forward, and the blade stabbed straight at Xu Congyi's chest.

Xu Congyi trembled violently, and looked at Nie Yan again as if asking for help, but the monk suddenly turned around and walked outside the dormitory.He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the unexpected voice was restrained by a force of mana, just like his whole body strength. Xu Cong stared at Nie Yan's back, until Nie Yan completely disappeared from his sight In the middle, he retracted his gaze, and crystal tears were already shaking in his eyes.

The prince on one side stared at Xu Congyi, watching him trembling with fear, with a tear hanging from the end of his eye, precarious.His eyes widened suddenly when the dagger pierced his chest.

The bright red blood gushes out from around the short dagger crazily, and flows down the blade. The Taoist priest's fingertips are stained with blood, feeling the heat of the red fox's blood, his complexion becomes crazy in an instant, and he grabs the red fox's trembling hand Body, pull down the dagger, cut open the red fox's chest, in the drenched blood, throw away the short blade, dig into the bloody hole with fingers, dig in, when withdrawing, there is still a colorful heart in the palm of the hand.

As for the heart-plucked red fox, in the severe pain, his eyes were rounded and his pupils almost popped out. As soon as the Taoist's hand was withdrawn, his body fell down like a helpless leaf in the autumn wind. off the ground.

Holding a heart that was still warm, the Taoist twisted his body and walked in front of the emperor.All this happened very quickly, without too many noises, but the unexpected strong smell of blood shocked the emperor who was lying half-closed and opened his eyes, and then he saw a heart that seemed to be still beating.

The emperor was stunned, and the Taoist smiled.

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. This is the heart of the fox demon. The monster has a lot of lives and will be revived in a while." The emperor was doubtful, but the matter has come to this point, so he can only believe it for the time being.

But how to eat such a fist-sized heart.Just when the emperor had this concern, the Taoist priest relieved his concern next, and saw the Taoist priest cast a spell, and the bloody heart in his hand turned into a light-colored pastry.

The emperor here took over the heart that had been turned into a pastry by blindfolding, and began to devour it, while the prince raised his feet and walked towards the fox lying on the ground.

The red fox whose heart had been dug out changed from a human shape to a fox body. The prince bent down and lifted the red fox with his hand. There was a striking blood hole in the red fox's chest, and the blood was constantly pouring out. The red fox didn't look big, but the blood was There were many accidents, and after a while, a pool of blood gathered on the ground.He lowered his eyes, looked behind the red fox, roughly counted, and found that he only had eight tails. He thought that one of his tails was broken just now, but one of them fell slowly from behind the red fox while he was watching. On the ground, as soon as the furry red fox tail touched the ground, it suddenly disappeared.

The prince was confused, and there were footsteps approaching behind him. The Taoist waited for the emperor to swallow the heart of the red fox, and then waved his arms, causing the emperor to fall asleep temporarily.

"Your Highness likes this monster?" The Taoist asked, seeing that Yaoguang was focusing on the fox monster.

Yaoguang carefully looked at the seven-tailed fox he was carrying, he had never had any pets before, besides this is a fox demon that can transform, so it might not be very good to keep it by his side.

But the fur of this fox demon is really cute, just touching it like this, it is smooth and soft, and it is several times smoother than the skin of those beauties in his mansion.

"How can I make it not hurt people?" The underlying meaning of these words is that the prince wants to raise this demon fox.

The Taoist smiled calmly: "This is easy to handle. When I take it's demon pill, it won't be able to use mana. At that time, the prince can train it however he wants."

Nie Yan walked out of the emperor's dormitory, but did not go far, but stood in the atrium with his back to the door, waited for a while, the closed door opened behind him, and two people came out.

Turning around, Nie Yan's eyes suddenly tightened.The red fox lost one of its tails, and now there are only seven tails left.The red fox came back to life and was lying in the arms of the prince dying. Nie Yan walked over quickly, raised his hands, and wanted to take the red fox from the prince. Now that the heart has been dug out and the red fox is resurrected, its mission is here. It's over, Nie Yan wants to take the red fox away and leave the palace.

But before his hand touched the red fox's body, he was blocked by a whisk.

"What is the mage doing?"

"You dug out his heart." Mie Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"I dug it up, whoever made it a nine-tailed fox, since I was born this way, I have to admit it." The Taoist raised his eyebrows and spoke sarcastically.

"Your Highness, can you hand over the red fox to me?" Nie Yanbu continued to wrestle with the Taoist priest, and turned to someone who could make a decision here.

The fluttering light stroked the red fox's soft fur gently, as if petting a pet.

"Father ate its heart, but it is unknown whether it will be effective. Besides, I like this fox very much, so I will let it live in my mansion. After my father's condition improves, I will hand it over to the mage. Do you think it will work? "Although it sounds like an inquiry, it's not really about getting anyone's consent, it's just telling a result.

Nie Yan's hand holding the Buddha beads tightly closed again.

When the three people and one demon were going back and forth, they walked on the road, and when they got out of the high wall of the palace, the prince got into his chariot alone and let the Taoist and Mie Yan take a carriage to send Mie Yan back to a nearby temple.

Sitting in the carriage, Mie Yan lowered his eyes, his face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking. The Taoist priest who was not far from him stared at him for a while, and snorted coldly through his nose.

This sound caused Nie Yan to raise his head, and the Taoist priest's expression froze under Nie Yan's intimidating gaze. The deterrent force emanating from the other party made the ridicule on the Taoist priest's face gradually unstoppable.

The temple I went to belonged to Tianyin Temple, and there were no more than five monks in it. Nie Yan got out of the carriage and went straight inside. Although the monks in the temple had never seen him, they saw that he was wearing the uniform of Tianyin Temple headquarters. The robe, knowing that his status is not low, greeted him very respectfully.

Nie Yan ignored them, walked straight through the main hall, and walked to the inner hall.

The inner hall is empty on the left and right, and there is a huge Buddha statue in the middle. The Buddha statue is solemn, and he looks at the people looking up at it with a compassionate face.

Nie Yan sat cross-legged on the futon in the middle, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and began to calm down, concentrating on cultivation.

The back of the temple is adjacent to a large dense green bamboo forest. The bamboo leaves rustle when the breeze blows by, and the cool wind blows into the hall, carrying a faint fragrance.

Nie Yan's brows were suddenly frowned, and a drop of cold sweat emerged from the corner of his forehead, running down his chiseled face, and suddenly fell into the palm of his hand.

The quiet light fragrance lingers in the empty Buddhist temple, even if the dawn wind has passed, it still soaks into the heart and spleen.

It's just that this incense not only failed to bring comfort, but made the monk's smooth forehead sweat more, and the sweat rolled down one drop after another.

The monk's body shook suddenly, a gap appeared between his clasped hands, his closed eyes opened, and then he stared at his arms trembling slightly.

I don't know when there was an extra person there - there was an extra demon, a fox demon in a fiery red robe and black hair all over his back.

I saw the fox demon gently twisting its snake-like body in Nie Yan's arms, seeing Nie Yan opened his eyes, and caressed Nie Yan's cheek with his slender, jade-white hand.

Nie Yan's eyes flickered even more fiercely, and his face clearly felt the softness of the fox demon's fingertips, like a feather brushing by, Nie Yan's heartstrings were suddenly plucked, and the body in his arms exuded a fascinating sweet fragrance.

"Mage." The fox demon lightly parted her bright red lips, and uttered extremely soft words.

"Master." The fox demon called twice in a row, he got up slightly, leaned sideways on Mie Yan's chest, wrapped his backhand around Mie Yan's neck, and twirled his fingers seemingly absently.

"Why are you ignoring me? I like you. Why did you...abandon me!" The tone of the fox demon suddenly changed, and it suddenly became more serious. He turned his head and stared at Nie Yan angrily and resentfully.

Nie Yan moved his gaze down and landed on the fox demon's chest, and saw that there was blood gushing out from there.

"I'm in pain, do you know, I'm asking you for help, why don't you save me, why?" the fox demon asked Nie Yan repeatedly.

Nie Yan stared at the fox demon for a while, seeing that his face was full of anger, twisted and ferocious, and immediately understood that this was probably a fantasy caused by his inner demons.

Nie Yan let go of his palm and stood up teng, the fox was shaken several meters away by his arm.

"Your fate is like this. Even if I don't arrest you, there will be other people. Don't worry, I will bring you back from the Prince's Mansion and send you and Nie Sheng to a place where no one will be disturbed." Although he knew it was him However, these words came from Nie Yan’s heart, and he had no chance to say them to the real fox demon. Speaking to this fantasy was his own promise.

"You take me back? The Taoist priest snatched my inner alchemy, making me completely devoid of demonic power. The prince coerced me into the mansion, which meant to restrain me. Guess how many days I have left to live?"
