fairy dust
Chapter 135 [Dream of Wangfu] 135
Ling Feiyan put his finger on his lips, signaling that the first day of the junior high school should not be loud.She put the red light on the table, and the fireflies reflected the dim singing fan, but the gold leaf on the handle of the fan seemed to be even more golden.
"You...why are you here..." Chuyi greeted softly, like a hazy whisper.She wanted to prop herself up and sit up, but her arms were as weak as if they had lost their bones.
Contrary to this physical weakness and intenseness is her turbulent emotion.Ling Feiyan was right in front of him, but now in the first day of the junior high school, even just looking at her has become a kind of difficulty.She felt deeply annoyed and desperate, those thoughts that made her lose her mind and feel ashamed, looked so humble in front of Ling Feiyan's cold and still face.
Ling Feiyan looked at the slightly embarrassed Chu Yi and seemed to have something to say, but he still went to the window and opened a gap slightly, looked out for a while, and whispered: "Someone is coming to find you."
There is a group of people talking in the dark in the alley downstairs.Ling Feiyan glanced over them, and there were about eleven or two of them.Those people seemed to be plotting something, but the voice was a little far away and Ling Feiyan couldn't hear it clearly.After discussing for a while, they divided into three groups of four, and entered the Longsheng Inn again.
"Who? Who wants to come...?" Chu Yi frowned and forced herself up. She also wanted to know who Ling Feiyan saw outside the window, but she didn't dare to approach Ling Feiyan easily.Not only because she is powerless and has little to do at the moment, but also because she is afraid that once she gets close to Ling Feiyan, she will involuntarily put into action the strong thoughts about Ling Feiyan in her mind.
Ling Feiyan saw that Chu Yi seemed to be restrained, as if he was suppressing his physical discomfort, and he couldn't help but feel more sympathy in his eyes as he stared at Chu Yi.Although she didn't want to disturb the rest of the first day of junior high school, uninvited guests from more than one party forced her to enter the room of the first day of junior high school.
It turned out that Ling Feiyan had thought about visiting her in the first room of the junior high school just after she came out of Tubal's room, but the room was quiet and silent.She wondered if she was too cold and tired and had already fallen asleep on the first day of the junior high school, and said that she had nothing to do, so she gave up and turned back to her room.
When passing by the hall of the inn, Ling Feiyan subconsciously glanced at the few people in the hall again, but saw that the two people who were awake were also peeping at her.The embarrassment of their eyes facing each other didn't make the two of them turn their heads away, so she had to be a little more vigilant in her heart.
So after returning to the room, Ling Feiyan did not sleep with his clothes on, but placed the lantern and the Yanyue sword on the table, while circulating his true energy, practicing meridians and closing his eyes, while listening to the subtle sounds, waiting for changes .
About an hour later, when the watchman beat the ugly, the entire Kaijing city was completely immersed in the peace of the dead of night.Ling Feiyan opened her eyes, because she noticed that Xisuo's footsteps in the corridor outside the house were getting closer.It can be heard that the person walked very carefully step by step, but no matter how lightly stepped on the old wooden floor, it is inevitable that there will still be a creaking sound.
After a while, the footsteps stopped outside the door.It never happened that another guest got up in the middle of the night and went to the wrong room.Ling Feiyan was sure that there must be some unkind person outside the door secretly listening to the movement inside the house.So she stood up and took the Yanyue Sword, raised her lightness kung fu to move the clouds, and instantly stood at the door in a dark place where it was difficult for people to notice with extremely light steps and body skills.
For a moment, the inside of the room was astonishingly quiet as the outside of the room.Ling Feiyan stared at the door intently, and soon a thin iron wire with a hook came in through the crack of the door, wrapped it around the bolt that was stuck on the door, and stretched out the door.It was quiet again for a moment, presumably someone outside the door has tightened the iron wire to tie the door bolt tightly.
Ling Feiyan kept his composure and waited for someone outside to use a thin iron dagger to gently lift the door bolt open. The door bolt tied with iron wire did not need to fall to the ground to make a sound, and the door opened softly.Ling Feiyan thought to himself, isn't this the thief's way of breaking into the house? If someone who sleeps more calmly, he may have already caught the truth at this moment.
Sure enough, a lean man in a black night suit tiptoed into the room.After entering the room, the man in black turned back and closed the door but hesitated for a moment. Obviously, he was a little afraid of the burning lantern in the room. After all, the dark environment was more conducive to his actions.So the man in black immediately wanted to go to the bed to see if the people in the room were asleep, but saw that the bed was empty and there was no one there.
"Are you looking for me?" Ling Feiyan made sure that the man in black was alone and stood quietly behind him.
The sudden cold voice of questioning made the man in black tremble all over. Before he could react subconsciously, he turned around before being immobilized by Ling Feiyan's immobilizing spell on his forehead.
With a cold face, Ling Feiyan used the Yanyue Sword to remove the black cloth covering the man in black's face.
"It's you?" By the dim candlelight, Ling Feiyan recognized that the person in front of him was Xiaoer who was deep in the alley of the restaurant.
"It's me...it's me..." Xiao Er didn't hear any voice at all, and a woman suddenly appeared behind him, which really shocked him.
He originally thought that the woman who came to the shop accompanied by the servant girl was just an ordinary wealthy lady with no power to restrain a chicken, but he didn't expect that she would be able to perform such powerful witchcraft and sorcery, only in his head. When I clicked on it, I couldn't move my whole body.The flustered Xiao Er responded casually, but his heart beat like a drum.Fear came over in an instant. What he was afraid of was not being caught and about to be sent to the police, but because the glowing lantern in Ling Feiyan's room was too permeating!
Xiao Er couldn't help calling all the gods and Buddhas in his heart, thinking that ordinary people would light a red lantern in the room that looked cold and indifferent?Especially the three words "Chunxiao Tower" are written on it, the kind of place where Yingyingyanyan is most likely to provoke unclean things.What's more, a few days ago, he just heard from a drinker at his restaurant that the number one Mu Shuang of Chunxiao Building had recruited some kind of evil spirits. many.This kind of disaster that everyone is afraid to avoid, unexpectedly, he actually sent himself to the door of the female devil himself!
When we first met in the evening, the little girl secretly marveled at Ling Feiyan's quiet and beautiful appearance, which is not like ordinary people, and now he appeared behind him out of thin air and used the "fixed body demon method", thinking that this time he really encountered an evil thing, No wonder he begged for mercy in panic as soon as he opened his mouth: "Great God, Da Xian'er, Grandma Fairy, please forgive me..."
"Full of nonsense." Ling Feiyan frowned and stopped, "Keep your voice down. Why did you sneak into my room in the middle of the night? Tell me the truth."
"Okay, okay, I'll say everything I say." Xiao Er replied, while obediently lowering her voice.He was really annoyed at how he suddenly became greedy and wanted to kill himself.But as long as he can survive, don't let him tell the truth, just let him call Ling Feiyan his mother!
So Xiaoer said timidly with a sullen face: "Didn't the younger one accept the twelve taels of gold that the man had reserved for the private room of the small shop, and went to Changsheng Casino to play a few hands when his hands were itchy. It's a pity that he didn't have a dime. Not only did you make a profit, but you even lost ten taels of gold, and in the end you owed them a lot of silver. I saw that you spent a lot of money when you came to the store, and you paid a lot of silver just for looking at the room. Your maid again Holding a peerless sword, I thought about it... I wanted to steal it, and get some money by the way... So I asked the little guy to follow me from a distance, and I heard that you lived in Longsheng, so why not take advantage of the night? Hei Fenggao came into the store from the corridor window... Grandma Yaogu please forgive me."
"Stealing a sword? You know what to do." Ling Feiyan snorted coldly, and asked further in doubt: "The Yanyue Sword was in the hands of Fei... a little girl at that time, how did you come to my room!"
"I've been there! I went to your maidservant's room." Xiaoer explained earnestly, "I was so happy when I received the news that you lived far apart. So I went to the maidservant's room to think about it." Steal that sword. Who knows that I have been peeping outside the door for a long time, and there have been faint sounds of tossing and turning and dreamy voices in the room, what zero, what smoke... I can't understand. Since she I didn't sleep well, so I didn't dare to break in rashly, I just wanted to come to your place first to have a look, after all, the eldest lady should also have many valuables on her body, right? As a result, although there is some dim light in your room, It was very quiet, I thought it was because the rich lady was afraid of falling asleep alone, she lit a candle to strengthen her courage, unexpectedly it was... but..."
Xiao Er said, and glanced at the weird lantern again.He always felt that the lantern made people feel a little dazed after seeing too many people. This feeling was the same as when the person who reserved the private room on the second floor of his shop appeared, so he couldn't help being even more afraid.
After listening to Xiao Er's long explanation, Ling Feiyan was afraid that he would talk nonsense, so he unsheathed the Yanyue Sword and pushed it around Xiao Er's neck, and asked severely, "It's just for stealing?!"
Xiao Er was terrified immediately, if he hadn't been immobilized by the immobilization spell, his legs would have collapsed to the ground, and he hurriedly shouted anxiously: "Yeah, yeah, I just want to get some money!!! How dare I have other ideas Ah, Grandma Yaogu, please spare my life!" The second child in a panic thought that storytellers would often tell stories about charming female ghosts, so he broke his heart and begged again: "If you must kill the little one, please don't kill the little one. Peeling the skin and drinking the blood can exhaust the little ones..."
"Tsk! A dog can't spit out ivory!" Ling Feiyan frowned, and before Xiao Er finished speaking, he slammed a soul-fixing curse on Xiao Er's head.Poor little Er still had a frightened expression on his face, he fell to the ground with a thud, and did not move anymore.
Hearing from Xiao Er that the first day of junior high school seems to be difficult to sleep, Ling Feiyan recalled that after the first day of junior high school came out of Chunxiao Building, he had been showing a look of anxiety, flickering words and feeling unwell.Xin Dao, this little girl came to him just after looking at a few taels of silver and the gloomy Yanyue Sword. In the Changsheng casino, wouldn't it be more dangerous if he won a thousand taels of silver and showed the magnificence of a singing fan? ?Since Xiao Er said that he had already been outside the gate of the first day of junior high school, it would be safer to check it just in case, and by the way, he could also check to see if there were any changes in the few people in the hall.
Thinking of this, Ling Feiyan held the Yanyue Sword and the lantern from the Chunxiao Building and left the room.
Sure enough, when they passed the hall again, those four people had already disappeared.Ling Feiyan's heart sank, and he quickly walked to the front of the first room.Fortunately, after listening carefully, there were indeed the sounds of tossing and turning in the room as Xiaoer said.She raised her hand and knocked softly on the door, but no one answered, but the door moved in response.
The door is not locked?
Ling Feiyan frowned slightly, and pushed the door open with his hands.So she walked into the room, and by the light of the lantern, she could see the randomly discarded clothes stretching from the door to the inside of the room, until the white lining hanging on the chair came into view, and there was a slightly heavy sound of rapid breathing and With a slight murmur in her ears, Ling Fei couldn't help but her heart moved: No wonder Fei Yi fled and seemed to leave Tubal's room, and the door was not locked. It seems that she is really "ill".
Seeing that on the bed, the usually high-spirited person had curled up into a ball, drowsily hugging the thin quilt and murmuring, so she stood in front of the bed with a lantern in her hand, and was about to call out, but saw the person waking up slowly. Come.
"It's not... Yan... Ling Zun?" Chu Yi's voice lacked the spirit of the past, it was as soft as a floating cloud that would disperse in the slightest breeze.
"You...why are you here..." Under the fluorescent lights, Chuyi's slack eyes shone with joy, clearly a bewildered look but full of firm desire, and the slightly open eyes from surprise The lips were breathing heavily, outlining a shallow but sweet smile.
Ling Feiyan hesitated, she felt that she had seen a trace of unprecedented...
Coquettish? !
Ling Feiyan's heart was poked hard by this word. She really wondered how she could use this word to describe the first year of junior high school, so that she opened her mouth to speak but didn't know what to start with.
Ask her why she didn't lock the door?Why did you mess up your clothes?Or ask her where she feels unwell, or tell her that she is in danger...
Yes, Ling Feiyan never lost her sanity.After only a moment of pause, she made a decision.When she slightly opened the window and saw the crowd plotting in the alley outside the window, she was very glad that she came to the room of the first grader, so she would not be allowed to face it alone in such a posture.
"You...why are you here..." Chuyi greeted softly, like a hazy whisper.She wanted to prop herself up and sit up, but her arms were as weak as if they had lost their bones.
Contrary to this physical weakness and intenseness is her turbulent emotion.Ling Feiyan was right in front of him, but now in the first day of the junior high school, even just looking at her has become a kind of difficulty.She felt deeply annoyed and desperate, those thoughts that made her lose her mind and feel ashamed, looked so humble in front of Ling Feiyan's cold and still face.
