Jinyiwei work report
Chapter 94
Holding the last hope, Song Yingbai leaned over to listen to his brother's heartbeat, but heard nothing.
Fortunately, he has a wealth of experience in encountering accidents. At this moment, he will not lose his position. He pulled up the curtain, came to the door and called the housekeeper, saying: "Master Pei told me that there is something I want to see Eunuch Pei. You go and ask for it."
"But Eunuch Pei doesn't know if he's outside the palace at this time." The housekeeper asked, "Is our master alright?"
"Okay, it's just that he's too tired and slept soundly. He wants to discuss something with Eunuch Pei. Go." Song Yingbai said calmly, "It's not appropriate to say anything at this time. Mr. Pei said hurry up."
The housekeeper saw that Song Yingbai was so calm, and his master had a surly personality, since he ordered him to obey, he said yes and went down.
The reason why Song Yingbai did this was naturally because he didn't want the matter to become a big issue. If it was a big deal, the city would be full of wind and rain, and there would be too many people talking, and it would be out of control.
But he can't bear the consequences himself, so he needs to discuss with someone. This person is his brother's adoptive father, Pei Neng, who is the most suitable person at present.
Of course, if it was before, he must have contacted another person.
"By the way, Mr. Pei is hungry, let's make some favorite food for breakfast, hurry up. Also, whoever of you goes to the Jinyiwei yamen to ask Cheng Dong and Cheng Xiaoqi to come over." After Song Yingbai gave his orders, he returned to the house, Sitting on the edge of the bed, biting his lip and thinking about the next step.
This matter has nothing to do with the old man last night, but he can't leave here now, he can only wait for Cheng Dongyi or Pei Neng to make the next plan.
He was lucky, Pei Neng happened to be resting outside the palace last night, and he hadn't entered the palace yet, and his adopted son rarely troubled him on weekdays, this time he took the initiative to call him over early in the morning, saying that he had something important to discuss, it must be no small matter , and I live not far away, so I took the time to come here.
When he entered the bedroom, he didn't see Pei Huaixuan, but he saw Song Yingbai, but Song Yingbai was no stranger.
Song Yingbai didn't have time to exchange pleasantries, so he said straight to the point: "Eunuch Pei, you have to calm down, no matter what you see later, please don't be surprised."
Then he went straight to the curtain of the bed, and revealed his elder brother who had turned into jade.
Pei Neng rubbed his eyes, and when he saw the situation in front of him clearly, he let out a cry, and was about to fall down while holding his forehead.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Song Yingbai dragged the chair beside him and placed him on the chair.
"W-what's the matter?"
Song Yingbai also wanted to know, "I don't know yet, but there are already suspects. With you here in charge, I will arrest them right away. But before the matter is resolved, I want you to help cover it up... If someone asks, Just say he's sick."
If a position like brother doesn't show up for no reason, there must be an explanation.
Eunuch Pei said weakly: "He can still recover? Can he?"
"I think as long as we find the person who clashed with us yesterday, we can restore people to their original state."
Pei Neng knew that the emperor attached great importance to Pei Huaixuan. If something happened to him, he would have to go around too much. Looking at Pei Huaixuan on the bed, he complained weakly: "He has been in contact with strange people recently, no wonder he encountered such a thing, really, It's really..."
Song Yingbai was stunned for a moment, his elder brother must still want to find out the truth about their parents when he came into contact with so-called strange people.
"Don't worry! Even if I don't want this life, I will save Mr. Pei!" Song Yingbai swore, "If anyone asks, please tell him that he is sick." After speaking, he strode out the door.
Walking to the door, I happened to meet Cheng Dongyi head-on.
Cheng Dongyi breathed a sigh of relief, "So you were the one looking for me. I thought it was Pei Zhenfu, but it scared me to death."
Song Yingbai didn't have time to talk nonsense, "You take someone to the Jiaofang Division, take care of Miss Wanyu and her madam, and if possible, interrogate as much as possible about the origin of the old man who clashed with me last night. Say, they will understand. Then wait for me to pass, I am going to go somewhere else now."
When Cheng Dong saw Song Yingbai's serious expression, he didn't dare to delay, so he rode away immediately.
On this side, Song Yingbai went straight to Longhushan Yu Daoist's house, waiting anxiously outside the door, walking back and forth from time to time, finally looking forward to it, Liao Zhongfang came out, "Song Qianhu, early in the morning, there is What's the matter?"
"Where is Daoist Yu? I have a very important matter to ask him for help."
"My master has returned to Longhu Mountain, and he won't be back until next spring." Liao Zhongfang sent a desperate message.
Song Yingbai bit her lip and grabbed Liao Zhongfang's wrist, "That's you, please follow me!"
Liao Zhongfang frowned and paused, as if she wanted to say something.
Song Yingbai urged: "What's the matter? Come quickly!"
Liao Zhongfang didn't say much, and followed Song Yingbai to Pei Huaixuan's residence.
As soon as he entered the door, Song Yingbai found that besides Pei Neng, Li Zhen was also there. His expression was solemn, and he seemed to already know it.
Pei Neng said in a panic: "Song Qianhu, you are finally back. I can't do such a big matter if you let me decide. Ask Li Tongzhi to come over and discuss it."
Li Zhen and Song Yingbai looked at each other, looked away first, and said to Liao Zhongfang, "Where's your master?"
"The old man is not here." Liao Zhongfang walked to the bed, "What's going on here?"
As soon as he probed, Li Zhen said in shock: "What's wrong with your hand?"
Liao Zhongfang looked down and saw that the tip of her right finger was no longer flesh and blood, but turned into white and translucent jade.
Without waiting for the other three to say anything, Pei Neng shouted: "It's the problem with this room, people who stay here will be turned into stone!" Fall backward.
And Song Yingbai was standing behind Pei Neng, as long as he stretched out his hand, he could catch Pei Neng.
But at this moment, he didn't respond, because he had an idea in his mind, he couldn't do that, because...
Li Zhen thought that Song Yingbai would catch Pei Neng, so he didn't do anything. In the end, he saw Song Yingbai standing like a log, watching Pei Neng fall on his back. Kong, seeing Pei Neng knock his head on the chair leg, passed out.
Li Zhen asked puzzledly, "Why didn't you help him?"
Song Yingbai looked at his hands, "...I can't."
Li Zhen hurried over to help Pei Neng up, and breathed out, "It's okay." At this moment, he found that the atmosphere between Liao Zhongfang and Song Yingbai was very strange. Liao Zhongfang looked at Song Yingbai with panic and confusion in his eyes, and Song Yingbai It was the same look, but it was looking at his own palm.
Liao Zhongfang muttered something, tapped her right arm a few times with her left hand, "I don't know if I can control it, Song Qianhu, you...is it because of you?"
Li Zhen asked Song Yingbai, "What's the matter? It's all like this, and you still keep it from me? Pei Huaixuan and you are my subordinates anyway, so you should tell the truth about this."
"I didn't hide it from you on purpose, I just realized it!" Song Yingbai said: "Before Liao Daochang's fingers turned into jade, I didn't realize it. It's all because of me, whether it's Pei Zhenfu or Liao Daochang. It’s all about having contact with me before becoming jade.”
Liao Zhongfang said: "After you grabbed my arm just now, I felt that something was wrong. I felt that my fingertips were numb, but you are not a monster, so I didn't take it to heart. Could it be that Mr. Pei is also because..."
Song Yingbai said in pain: "I remembered, he patted my shoulder yesterday, and then said his fingertips were numb, so it's obviously because of me. And it seems that the degree is stronger, at least Pei Zhen patted me last night After my shoulder, until we separated completely, there was about two quarters of an hour between him, and he didn't change significantly, while Liao Daochang, with high mana, changed after a little more than a quarter of an hour."
Li Zhen said: "That is to say, everyone you touch will become like Da... Pei Huaixuan?"
"I'm afraid it is." Song Yingbai said bitterly: "It was the old man last night. He was nagging at the time. I didn't take it seriously. It turned out that he was cursing me."
Li Zhen also hated him: "You must never spare him. If everyone you touch turns into stone, wouldn't it mean that you won't be able to make out with anyone in the future?"
It's about my lifelong happiness, I must find this bastard old man.
"Daoist Liao is really sorry. I have already sent Cheng Dongyi to investigate first. Don't move yet. Wait for the news here. Maybe the moment you move, the jade will be transformed faster. I will go to Cheng Dongyi right now. Beat that stinky old man's brains out!" Song Yingbai turned around and left after finishing speaking.
Li Zhen caught up, "But when you touch things other than people, they don't change, such as door panels and horses, which seem to only affect people."
Song Yingbai is extremely conflicted now. He really needs Li Zhen's help, but he doesn't want to owe him any more favors.
Li Zhen saw his concerns, "I'm not just helping you, I'm helping Zhenfu and Qianhu of Jinyiwei, you can't object to that, right?"
Song Yingbai really had no reason to refuse, he couldn't lose the big because of the small things, everything else is easy to talk about, the most important thing is to solve the danger in front of him, he said: "As you said, when I wake up in the morning, everything is as usual, and there are no utensils that come across. Changes, including horses. It should only work on people. Even the old man can’t be wrong. He also wanted to groom Miss Wanyu, but I preempted him, so he put a curse on me. As long as I make out with Wanyu, then The one who turns into stone is the opponent."
Li Zhen felt uncomfortable, and said with great restraint: "Then go to the Jiaofang Division to see what state Wanyu is in now. If she also becomes a jade carving, it must be because of you."
"...After the old man came to make trouble, I left directly and didn't stay overnight, so now Wanyu should still be alive." Song Yingbai said truthfully.
Li Zhen showed a faint smile, and continued to probe, "What about the maid at home?"
Song Yingbai said: "I was cursed, it happened last night, it has nothing to do with what happened the night before."
Li Zhen was silent, and said after a while: "In short, you believe that you have something to do with that old man. Find him first and then talk!"
Song Yingbai nodded, and the two horses rode fast and rushed directly into Jiaofangsi's yard, and ran into the building as soon as they got off their horses, seeing that Cheng Dongyi had already controlled the situation and all the personnel were there.
And the madam sat side by side with Wanyu, with a worried look on her face.
Song Yingbai said sharply: "Who is the old man last night?"
"He claimed to be surnamed Tong, and he didn't know where he came from. A few days ago, he suddenly came to the door and said that he heard that there was a girl in our courtyard who wanted to comb, so he brought a large sum of gold. Although he is old, he is really big... ..."
Li Zhen said: "The Secretary of Jiaofang is not allowed to receive idlers. He has no fame and real name. How can you receive him?"
He knew in his heart that rules are dead, people are alive, as long as money is enough, how can these old godmothers be intolerant.
The bustard faltered and said: "However, it didn't work out. Later, when the lord of Jin Yiwei came, we pushed him away."
Wanyu was very scared and said: "My lord, what happened?"
Cheng Dong stepped forward and said to Song Yingbai: "They don't know anything about the old man."
Song Yingbai despaired for a while, and said to Wanyu: "His identity is very important, think again, even a little clue will do."
Wanyu shook her head, "I really don't know."
Li Zhen thought for a while, and said to Song Yingbai: "This old guy is so lustful, he must hang around here often, send people to other yards to inquire, maybe he can find something. He should be easy to find. He is very old. He is rich, and the bawds who have dealt with him should remember it."
"What you said makes sense. This kind of person must be a regular visitor to Jiaofang." He ordered Cheng Dong and others to go to the nearby courtyards to inquire about the whereabouts of the old man.
He and Li Zhen were waiting for news here.
Li Zhen saw that there was almost no communication between Song Yingbai and Wanyu, and they were very unfamiliar. He thought that there was really nothing between them, so he said to Wanyu, "Come here, I will ask you a few questions alone."
Song Yingbai was really thinking about the old man's affairs and did not stop Li Zhen's behavior.
Li Zhen called Wanyu to a secluded place, and looked in the direction where Song Yingbai was sitting, "Do you think he's weird?"
Wanyu really thinks so, but she doesn't know whether she should tell Li Zhen or not, she hesitates to speak.
Li Zhen said: "It's okay for you to say, I am his friend, and I also want to help him solve problems. He keeps everything in his heart and doesn't tell us. I think he may be able to tell you. So can you tell me?"
His tone was so rare and gentle, coupled with his good looks, Wanyu let go of her guard, "Actually, this young man didn't tell me, but I can tell that he has something on his mind, and he told me...seriously." , not interested."
Li Zhen felt much relieved, "It seems that he is also wary of you. Don't let the conversation I have with you leak out. Well, you can go back and call your mother over."
The madam soon arrived in front of Li Zhen, not daring to breathe, "...I've told you everything I know, I really don't know where that old man came from."
"I heard that there is something wrong with your tea here?" Li Zhen said coldly.
The madam was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she quickly waved her hands, "No, no, how dare we, who is not a distinguished guest here? If this is discovered, we will not have enough skins to peel, and there is absolutely no problem with drinks. Really think about it." The things to add to the fun are only provided by the guest officials, and they will never be added to the water without authorization."
Li Zhen snorted and said, "Let me just believe you, go back."
He also followed the madam back to Song Yingbai's side, and said in a low voice: "As expected, they couldn't ask anything."
"I can't wait anymore, I'll go out and ask myself!" Song Yingbai felt that he was going crazy waiting for news here.
And at this time, just as he stood up, from the open door, he saw a person walking in the yard swaggeringly, it was the old man from yesterday.
Song Yingbai couldn't believe his eyes, it didn't take much effort to walk through the iron shoes and find nowhere, and he came to the door so grandiosely.
Everyone else in the room saw it, Wanyu was startled, pointed at the old man and said, "That's him!"
The old man was stunned, turned around and ran away, how could Song Yingbai let him go, a few steps up, kicked the old man to the ground without respecting the old and caring for the young, and then stepped on a few more times before picking him up , "Remove the curse for me, and if you restore things to their original state, I can spare your life."
The old man spat out the blood foam in his mouth, "What are you talking about, I don't understand. I just want to see if I can catch a leak. If I can't make it on the first night, it will be fine on the second night. That's what I think Yes, I’m an old bone, a beating last night was not enough, and today I’m waiting for a rabbit to beat me, is there any reason?”
Li Zhen also arrived at this time, and after listening to the old man's words, he sneered and said, "You are here to 'save the beauty', right? If Wanyu becomes a statue, you can unlock the spell and win your heart, right?"
The old man pretended to be stupid, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Song Yingbai immediately slapped the old man, "Old man, everyone I meet now will turn into a statue in no time, but I've arrested you for so long, but you're fine, and you still say you're fine, pretend, pretend again?"
The old man was stunned, feeling guilty of being exposed, and suddenly smiled, "Hehehe, this person is wrong, I am not here to be a hero to save the beauty, but to watch the excitement, knowing that you are waiting for me, I sent it to my door on purpose. How about it, who have you touched since last night? Haha, have they all turned into statues?"
Song Yingbai didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him, so he took out the dagger from his boot and swiped at the old man's head. The next moment, his ear was in his hands, "Restore me to the original state! Otherwise, I'll tear you apart."
Li Zhen said to the old man: "Looking at our attire, you should already know who we are, don't ask for trouble."
But at this moment, the old man yelled, "It hurts so much!" After saying that, it turned into a cloud of black smoke, soared straight up, rushed to the eaves, and drifted away into the distance.
"It looks like a monster!" Song Yingbai saw the direction in which Hei Yan was escaping, ran to the door, mounted a horse and chased after him.
Without even thinking about it, Li Zhen followed, and kept observing the direction of the black smoke, pointing to Song Yingbai, "Going out of the city."
Song Yingbai was still holding the old man's ear in his hand. At this time, the ear was beating non-stop in his hand, as if he was going to find his master, "It seems that the ear cannot be turned into black smoke if it is separated from the body. What is this? monster?"
"No matter what monster it is, I will help you get rid of it!"
Hearing what he said, Song Yingbai couldn't help thinking, it would be great if he could go back to the past, with him, no matter how many dangers there are, he wouldn't worry about it.
The two rode horses and chased the black smoke all the way to the suburbs. There were fields on both sides of the road, and it was summer, so it was lush green.
Li Zhen saw the blood on the side of the road all at once, and winked at Song Yingbai, showing him the fake farmer pulling weeds in the field.
Song Yingbai's ears were beating in his hands, and he had a very strong reaction to the old farmer pulling weeds, and the blood on the side of the road pointed to this person.
Without even thinking about it, he aimed his sleeve arrow at the bent old farmer and was about to shoot an arrow.
"Slow down, don't you think the flaw is too obvious, it seems to make us suspect this person." Li Zhen stopped in a low voice: "Maybe it's just an ordinary person."
If Song Yingbai shot and wounded this person, it would become broad daylight, killing civilians, and the crime would be serious.
Song Yingbai hesitated, jumped off his horse, and walked towards this man along the ridge of the field.
The old farmer raised his head and said with a simple and honest face: "What's the matter?"
The old farmer was wearing a big bamboo hat and couldn't see his ears, but the ears in Song Yingbai's hands jumped even more violently, "Are these your ears?"
"Help, there are bad guys!" The old farmer ran away, towards a thatched hut in the field.
Song Yingbai chased after him, "Don't run!" But he was not familiar with the terrain, so he stumbled while running, while the old farmer was much more flexible than him, and ran into the hut along the field ridge without shaking his body. It's dead.
At this time, Li Zhen caught up and said puzzledly: "This is too suspicious. The face of this farmer is completely different from that of the old man in the Jiaofang Division, but if he can change, why use an old man's face to visit the school?" Fang, if you become younger and more beautiful, you may be able to compete with you."
Song Yingbai looked at the ear in his hand, "But the ear should belong to him. Even now, it keeps beating towards the hut, as if there is a force that wants to drag it into the house." As he said, he was about to open the door. house door.
Li Zhen looked around vigilantly, "...Don't you think everything is irrational? It's better not to act rashly."
"Of course it's unreasonable, because the other party is a monster."
"But the monsters we met before were all ignorant, including Zhuo Mingquan, but their purpose is very clear, which is to torture you and make you suffer. Remember carefully, have you offended any enemies? "
"What kind of enemies can I have, that is, the incident that happened yesterday when I was going to tease Miss Wanyu." Although Song Yingbai said so, he also listened to Li Zhen's persuasion, and stopped in his tracks, "... Anyway, no matter what the other party is, What is it, he is hiding in this hut now."
Li Zhen said: "You wait here, I'll go and see, even if there is danger, I can hide faster than you." Then, he walked in front of Song Yingbai and walked towards the hut.
Song Yingbai felt uncomfortable, "You don't have to take risks for me!" followed Li Zhen up.
Li Zhen warned: "Stand back, stand farther away, don't touch me!" and reached out to touch Song Yingbai, so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back.
Seeing that Song Yingbai avoided it, Li Zhen slowly drew out his saber, and slammed open the door, but there was no one inside.
He walked in, looked around, and said to Song Yingbai, "Come in, there's no one here."
After Song Yingbai came in, he searched around with his ears, and found that the ears seemed to have suddenly lost their vitality and no longer responded, "...strange."
In this hut, the furnishings are all available, but also very ordinary, nine out of ten farmhouses are like this.
Li Zhen suggested, "Why don't we go back and call some helpers to search the mountains."
"Okay, you go back, I'll check again."
"Do you think it's possible? How can I trust you to stay alone."
Song Yingbai sighed and did not respond.
"The madam said, drinks are fine..." Li Zhen said, "Actually, I understand, you just said that to make me give up."
Song Yingbai whispered: "Yes, just give up."
Li Zhen said, "What if not?"
"Anyway, the ending will be the same sooner or later." Song Yingbai insisted.
Li Zhen was a little sad, "Okay, then I'll go back first!" After finishing speaking, he really went out, but as soon as he went out, he stopped, how could he leave Song Yingbai and really go.
"Li Zhen—" At this moment, Song Yingbai in the room screamed.
Li Zhen hurried back, and saw that the tip of Song Yingbai's right finger began to change, and the texture of jade spread along the finger to the whole hand.
"What's going on?" Li Zhen rushed up and looked at everything in front of him in panic. Isn't it that only those who are touched by Song Yingbai will turn into jade? Why did he also change himself?
Song Yingbai was out of control, the feeling of turning into a statue little by little was too scary, "I don't know, it started all of a sudden."
At this time, Song Yingbai's feet also began to change, the knees became smooth jade, and he couldn't move half a step.
Li Zhen didn't care so much anymore, put his hand on the spreading joint, and said anxiously: "How can it stop?"
"Don't touch me, it would be terrible if you become a statue too! Eh?... Should I say my last words?" Song Yingbai saw that his shoulder had turned into a jade carving. If he couldn't change back, the next sentence would be His last voice in this world, but what to say, to Li Zhen...
"Don't talk nonsense! You won't die so many times, and you will be safe this time!"
"Well, think it over..." Song Yingbai smiled at him, "Li Zhen...Actually, I still miss you..."
With the last syllable finished, the whole person has also completed the transformation.
Li Zhen stroked his cheek and had to believe that all this was true. He choked up and said, "No, it doesn't matter, I will definitely change you back."
At this time, I heard a voice behind me chuckle and said: "Master, everything is in order, now you can be a hero and save the beauty."
Fortunately, he has a wealth of experience in encountering accidents. At this moment, he will not lose his position. He pulled up the curtain, came to the door and called the housekeeper, saying: "Master Pei told me that there is something I want to see Eunuch Pei. You go and ask for it."
"But Eunuch Pei doesn't know if he's outside the palace at this time." The housekeeper asked, "Is our master alright?"
"Okay, it's just that he's too tired and slept soundly. He wants to discuss something with Eunuch Pei. Go." Song Yingbai said calmly, "It's not appropriate to say anything at this time. Mr. Pei said hurry up."
The housekeeper saw that Song Yingbai was so calm, and his master had a surly personality, since he ordered him to obey, he said yes and went down.
The reason why Song Yingbai did this was naturally because he didn't want the matter to become a big issue. If it was a big deal, the city would be full of wind and rain, and there would be too many people talking, and it would be out of control.
But he can't bear the consequences himself, so he needs to discuss with someone. This person is his brother's adoptive father, Pei Neng, who is the most suitable person at present.
Of course, if it was before, he must have contacted another person.
"By the way, Mr. Pei is hungry, let's make some favorite food for breakfast, hurry up. Also, whoever of you goes to the Jinyiwei yamen to ask Cheng Dong and Cheng Xiaoqi to come over." After Song Yingbai gave his orders, he returned to the house, Sitting on the edge of the bed, biting his lip and thinking about the next step.
This matter has nothing to do with the old man last night, but he can't leave here now, he can only wait for Cheng Dongyi or Pei Neng to make the next plan.
He was lucky, Pei Neng happened to be resting outside the palace last night, and he hadn't entered the palace yet, and his adopted son rarely troubled him on weekdays, this time he took the initiative to call him over early in the morning, saying that he had something important to discuss, it must be no small matter , and I live not far away, so I took the time to come here.
When he entered the bedroom, he didn't see Pei Huaixuan, but he saw Song Yingbai, but Song Yingbai was no stranger.
Song Yingbai didn't have time to exchange pleasantries, so he said straight to the point: "Eunuch Pei, you have to calm down, no matter what you see later, please don't be surprised."
Then he went straight to the curtain of the bed, and revealed his elder brother who had turned into jade.
Pei Neng rubbed his eyes, and when he saw the situation in front of him clearly, he let out a cry, and was about to fall down while holding his forehead.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Song Yingbai dragged the chair beside him and placed him on the chair.
"W-what's the matter?"
Song Yingbai also wanted to know, "I don't know yet, but there are already suspects. With you here in charge, I will arrest them right away. But before the matter is resolved, I want you to help cover it up... If someone asks, Just say he's sick."
If a position like brother doesn't show up for no reason, there must be an explanation.
Eunuch Pei said weakly: "He can still recover? Can he?"
"I think as long as we find the person who clashed with us yesterday, we can restore people to their original state."
Pei Neng knew that the emperor attached great importance to Pei Huaixuan. If something happened to him, he would have to go around too much. Looking at Pei Huaixuan on the bed, he complained weakly: "He has been in contact with strange people recently, no wonder he encountered such a thing, really, It's really..."
Song Yingbai was stunned for a moment, his elder brother must still want to find out the truth about their parents when he came into contact with so-called strange people.
"Don't worry! Even if I don't want this life, I will save Mr. Pei!" Song Yingbai swore, "If anyone asks, please tell him that he is sick." After speaking, he strode out the door.
Walking to the door, I happened to meet Cheng Dongyi head-on.
Cheng Dongyi breathed a sigh of relief, "So you were the one looking for me. I thought it was Pei Zhenfu, but it scared me to death."
Song Yingbai didn't have time to talk nonsense, "You take someone to the Jiaofang Division, take care of Miss Wanyu and her madam, and if possible, interrogate as much as possible about the origin of the old man who clashed with me last night. Say, they will understand. Then wait for me to pass, I am going to go somewhere else now."
When Cheng Dong saw Song Yingbai's serious expression, he didn't dare to delay, so he rode away immediately.
On this side, Song Yingbai went straight to Longhushan Yu Daoist's house, waiting anxiously outside the door, walking back and forth from time to time, finally looking forward to it, Liao Zhongfang came out, "Song Qianhu, early in the morning, there is What's the matter?"
"Where is Daoist Yu? I have a very important matter to ask him for help."
"My master has returned to Longhu Mountain, and he won't be back until next spring." Liao Zhongfang sent a desperate message.
Song Yingbai bit her lip and grabbed Liao Zhongfang's wrist, "That's you, please follow me!"
Liao Zhongfang frowned and paused, as if she wanted to say something.
Song Yingbai urged: "What's the matter? Come quickly!"
Liao Zhongfang didn't say much, and followed Song Yingbai to Pei Huaixuan's residence.
As soon as he entered the door, Song Yingbai found that besides Pei Neng, Li Zhen was also there. His expression was solemn, and he seemed to already know it.
Pei Neng said in a panic: "Song Qianhu, you are finally back. I can't do such a big matter if you let me decide. Ask Li Tongzhi to come over and discuss it."
Li Zhen and Song Yingbai looked at each other, looked away first, and said to Liao Zhongfang, "Where's your master?"
"The old man is not here." Liao Zhongfang walked to the bed, "What's going on here?"
As soon as he probed, Li Zhen said in shock: "What's wrong with your hand?"
Liao Zhongfang looked down and saw that the tip of her right finger was no longer flesh and blood, but turned into white and translucent jade.
Without waiting for the other three to say anything, Pei Neng shouted: "It's the problem with this room, people who stay here will be turned into stone!" Fall backward.
And Song Yingbai was standing behind Pei Neng, as long as he stretched out his hand, he could catch Pei Neng.
But at this moment, he didn't respond, because he had an idea in his mind, he couldn't do that, because...
Li Zhen thought that Song Yingbai would catch Pei Neng, so he didn't do anything. In the end, he saw Song Yingbai standing like a log, watching Pei Neng fall on his back. Kong, seeing Pei Neng knock his head on the chair leg, passed out.
Li Zhen asked puzzledly, "Why didn't you help him?"
Song Yingbai looked at his hands, "...I can't."
Li Zhen hurried over to help Pei Neng up, and breathed out, "It's okay." At this moment, he found that the atmosphere between Liao Zhongfang and Song Yingbai was very strange. Liao Zhongfang looked at Song Yingbai with panic and confusion in his eyes, and Song Yingbai It was the same look, but it was looking at his own palm.
Liao Zhongfang muttered something, tapped her right arm a few times with her left hand, "I don't know if I can control it, Song Qianhu, you...is it because of you?"
Li Zhen asked Song Yingbai, "What's the matter? It's all like this, and you still keep it from me? Pei Huaixuan and you are my subordinates anyway, so you should tell the truth about this."
"I didn't hide it from you on purpose, I just realized it!" Song Yingbai said: "Before Liao Daochang's fingers turned into jade, I didn't realize it. It's all because of me, whether it's Pei Zhenfu or Liao Daochang. It’s all about having contact with me before becoming jade.”
Liao Zhongfang said: "After you grabbed my arm just now, I felt that something was wrong. I felt that my fingertips were numb, but you are not a monster, so I didn't take it to heart. Could it be that Mr. Pei is also because..."
Song Yingbai said in pain: "I remembered, he patted my shoulder yesterday, and then said his fingertips were numb, so it's obviously because of me. And it seems that the degree is stronger, at least Pei Zhen patted me last night After my shoulder, until we separated completely, there was about two quarters of an hour between him, and he didn't change significantly, while Liao Daochang, with high mana, changed after a little more than a quarter of an hour."
Li Zhen said: "That is to say, everyone you touch will become like Da... Pei Huaixuan?"
"I'm afraid it is." Song Yingbai said bitterly: "It was the old man last night. He was nagging at the time. I didn't take it seriously. It turned out that he was cursing me."
Li Zhen also hated him: "You must never spare him. If everyone you touch turns into stone, wouldn't it mean that you won't be able to make out with anyone in the future?"
It's about my lifelong happiness, I must find this bastard old man.
"Daoist Liao is really sorry. I have already sent Cheng Dongyi to investigate first. Don't move yet. Wait for the news here. Maybe the moment you move, the jade will be transformed faster. I will go to Cheng Dongyi right now. Beat that stinky old man's brains out!" Song Yingbai turned around and left after finishing speaking.
Li Zhen caught up, "But when you touch things other than people, they don't change, such as door panels and horses, which seem to only affect people."
Song Yingbai is extremely conflicted now. He really needs Li Zhen's help, but he doesn't want to owe him any more favors.
Li Zhen saw his concerns, "I'm not just helping you, I'm helping Zhenfu and Qianhu of Jinyiwei, you can't object to that, right?"
Song Yingbai really had no reason to refuse, he couldn't lose the big because of the small things, everything else is easy to talk about, the most important thing is to solve the danger in front of him, he said: "As you said, when I wake up in the morning, everything is as usual, and there are no utensils that come across. Changes, including horses. It should only work on people. Even the old man can’t be wrong. He also wanted to groom Miss Wanyu, but I preempted him, so he put a curse on me. As long as I make out with Wanyu, then The one who turns into stone is the opponent."
Li Zhen felt uncomfortable, and said with great restraint: "Then go to the Jiaofang Division to see what state Wanyu is in now. If she also becomes a jade carving, it must be because of you."
"...After the old man came to make trouble, I left directly and didn't stay overnight, so now Wanyu should still be alive." Song Yingbai said truthfully.
Li Zhen showed a faint smile, and continued to probe, "What about the maid at home?"
Song Yingbai said: "I was cursed, it happened last night, it has nothing to do with what happened the night before."
Li Zhen was silent, and said after a while: "In short, you believe that you have something to do with that old man. Find him first and then talk!"
Song Yingbai nodded, and the two horses rode fast and rushed directly into Jiaofangsi's yard, and ran into the building as soon as they got off their horses, seeing that Cheng Dongyi had already controlled the situation and all the personnel were there.
And the madam sat side by side with Wanyu, with a worried look on her face.
Song Yingbai said sharply: "Who is the old man last night?"
"He claimed to be surnamed Tong, and he didn't know where he came from. A few days ago, he suddenly came to the door and said that he heard that there was a girl in our courtyard who wanted to comb, so he brought a large sum of gold. Although he is old, he is really big... ..."
Li Zhen said: "The Secretary of Jiaofang is not allowed to receive idlers. He has no fame and real name. How can you receive him?"
He knew in his heart that rules are dead, people are alive, as long as money is enough, how can these old godmothers be intolerant.
The bustard faltered and said: "However, it didn't work out. Later, when the lord of Jin Yiwei came, we pushed him away."
Wanyu was very scared and said: "My lord, what happened?"
Cheng Dong stepped forward and said to Song Yingbai: "They don't know anything about the old man."
Song Yingbai despaired for a while, and said to Wanyu: "His identity is very important, think again, even a little clue will do."
Wanyu shook her head, "I really don't know."
Li Zhen thought for a while, and said to Song Yingbai: "This old guy is so lustful, he must hang around here often, send people to other yards to inquire, maybe he can find something. He should be easy to find. He is very old. He is rich, and the bawds who have dealt with him should remember it."
"What you said makes sense. This kind of person must be a regular visitor to Jiaofang." He ordered Cheng Dong and others to go to the nearby courtyards to inquire about the whereabouts of the old man.
He and Li Zhen were waiting for news here.
Li Zhen saw that there was almost no communication between Song Yingbai and Wanyu, and they were very unfamiliar. He thought that there was really nothing between them, so he said to Wanyu, "Come here, I will ask you a few questions alone."
Song Yingbai was really thinking about the old man's affairs and did not stop Li Zhen's behavior.
Li Zhen called Wanyu to a secluded place, and looked in the direction where Song Yingbai was sitting, "Do you think he's weird?"
Wanyu really thinks so, but she doesn't know whether she should tell Li Zhen or not, she hesitates to speak.
Li Zhen said: "It's okay for you to say, I am his friend, and I also want to help him solve problems. He keeps everything in his heart and doesn't tell us. I think he may be able to tell you. So can you tell me?"
His tone was so rare and gentle, coupled with his good looks, Wanyu let go of her guard, "Actually, this young man didn't tell me, but I can tell that he has something on his mind, and he told me...seriously." , not interested."
Li Zhen felt much relieved, "It seems that he is also wary of you. Don't let the conversation I have with you leak out. Well, you can go back and call your mother over."
The madam soon arrived in front of Li Zhen, not daring to breathe, "...I've told you everything I know, I really don't know where that old man came from."
"I heard that there is something wrong with your tea here?" Li Zhen said coldly.
The madam was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she quickly waved her hands, "No, no, how dare we, who is not a distinguished guest here? If this is discovered, we will not have enough skins to peel, and there is absolutely no problem with drinks. Really think about it." The things to add to the fun are only provided by the guest officials, and they will never be added to the water without authorization."
Li Zhen snorted and said, "Let me just believe you, go back."
He also followed the madam back to Song Yingbai's side, and said in a low voice: "As expected, they couldn't ask anything."
"I can't wait anymore, I'll go out and ask myself!" Song Yingbai felt that he was going crazy waiting for news here.
And at this time, just as he stood up, from the open door, he saw a person walking in the yard swaggeringly, it was the old man from yesterday.
Song Yingbai couldn't believe his eyes, it didn't take much effort to walk through the iron shoes and find nowhere, and he came to the door so grandiosely.
Everyone else in the room saw it, Wanyu was startled, pointed at the old man and said, "That's him!"
The old man was stunned, turned around and ran away, how could Song Yingbai let him go, a few steps up, kicked the old man to the ground without respecting the old and caring for the young, and then stepped on a few more times before picking him up , "Remove the curse for me, and if you restore things to their original state, I can spare your life."
The old man spat out the blood foam in his mouth, "What are you talking about, I don't understand. I just want to see if I can catch a leak. If I can't make it on the first night, it will be fine on the second night. That's what I think Yes, I’m an old bone, a beating last night was not enough, and today I’m waiting for a rabbit to beat me, is there any reason?”
Li Zhen also arrived at this time, and after listening to the old man's words, he sneered and said, "You are here to 'save the beauty', right? If Wanyu becomes a statue, you can unlock the spell and win your heart, right?"
The old man pretended to be stupid, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Song Yingbai immediately slapped the old man, "Old man, everyone I meet now will turn into a statue in no time, but I've arrested you for so long, but you're fine, and you still say you're fine, pretend, pretend again?"
The old man was stunned, feeling guilty of being exposed, and suddenly smiled, "Hehehe, this person is wrong, I am not here to be a hero to save the beauty, but to watch the excitement, knowing that you are waiting for me, I sent it to my door on purpose. How about it, who have you touched since last night? Haha, have they all turned into statues?"
Song Yingbai didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him, so he took out the dagger from his boot and swiped at the old man's head. The next moment, his ear was in his hands, "Restore me to the original state! Otherwise, I'll tear you apart."
Li Zhen said to the old man: "Looking at our attire, you should already know who we are, don't ask for trouble."
But at this moment, the old man yelled, "It hurts so much!" After saying that, it turned into a cloud of black smoke, soared straight up, rushed to the eaves, and drifted away into the distance.
"It looks like a monster!" Song Yingbai saw the direction in which Hei Yan was escaping, ran to the door, mounted a horse and chased after him.
Without even thinking about it, Li Zhen followed, and kept observing the direction of the black smoke, pointing to Song Yingbai, "Going out of the city."
Song Yingbai was still holding the old man's ear in his hand. At this time, the ear was beating non-stop in his hand, as if he was going to find his master, "It seems that the ear cannot be turned into black smoke if it is separated from the body. What is this? monster?"
"No matter what monster it is, I will help you get rid of it!"
Hearing what he said, Song Yingbai couldn't help thinking, it would be great if he could go back to the past, with him, no matter how many dangers there are, he wouldn't worry about it.
The two rode horses and chased the black smoke all the way to the suburbs. There were fields on both sides of the road, and it was summer, so it was lush green.
Li Zhen saw the blood on the side of the road all at once, and winked at Song Yingbai, showing him the fake farmer pulling weeds in the field.
Song Yingbai's ears were beating in his hands, and he had a very strong reaction to the old farmer pulling weeds, and the blood on the side of the road pointed to this person.
Without even thinking about it, he aimed his sleeve arrow at the bent old farmer and was about to shoot an arrow.
"Slow down, don't you think the flaw is too obvious, it seems to make us suspect this person." Li Zhen stopped in a low voice: "Maybe it's just an ordinary person."
If Song Yingbai shot and wounded this person, it would become broad daylight, killing civilians, and the crime would be serious.
Song Yingbai hesitated, jumped off his horse, and walked towards this man along the ridge of the field.
The old farmer raised his head and said with a simple and honest face: "What's the matter?"
The old farmer was wearing a big bamboo hat and couldn't see his ears, but the ears in Song Yingbai's hands jumped even more violently, "Are these your ears?"
"Help, there are bad guys!" The old farmer ran away, towards a thatched hut in the field.
Song Yingbai chased after him, "Don't run!" But he was not familiar with the terrain, so he stumbled while running, while the old farmer was much more flexible than him, and ran into the hut along the field ridge without shaking his body. It's dead.
At this time, Li Zhen caught up and said puzzledly: "This is too suspicious. The face of this farmer is completely different from that of the old man in the Jiaofang Division, but if he can change, why use an old man's face to visit the school?" Fang, if you become younger and more beautiful, you may be able to compete with you."
Song Yingbai looked at the ear in his hand, "But the ear should belong to him. Even now, it keeps beating towards the hut, as if there is a force that wants to drag it into the house." As he said, he was about to open the door. house door.
Li Zhen looked around vigilantly, "...Don't you think everything is irrational? It's better not to act rashly."
"Of course it's unreasonable, because the other party is a monster."
"But the monsters we met before were all ignorant, including Zhuo Mingquan, but their purpose is very clear, which is to torture you and make you suffer. Remember carefully, have you offended any enemies? "
"What kind of enemies can I have, that is, the incident that happened yesterday when I was going to tease Miss Wanyu." Although Song Yingbai said so, he also listened to Li Zhen's persuasion, and stopped in his tracks, "... Anyway, no matter what the other party is, What is it, he is hiding in this hut now."
Li Zhen said: "You wait here, I'll go and see, even if there is danger, I can hide faster than you." Then, he walked in front of Song Yingbai and walked towards the hut.
Song Yingbai felt uncomfortable, "You don't have to take risks for me!" followed Li Zhen up.
Li Zhen warned: "Stand back, stand farther away, don't touch me!" and reached out to touch Song Yingbai, so frightened that he quickly took a few steps back.
Seeing that Song Yingbai avoided it, Li Zhen slowly drew out his saber, and slammed open the door, but there was no one inside.
He walked in, looked around, and said to Song Yingbai, "Come in, there's no one here."
After Song Yingbai came in, he searched around with his ears, and found that the ears seemed to have suddenly lost their vitality and no longer responded, "...strange."
In this hut, the furnishings are all available, but also very ordinary, nine out of ten farmhouses are like this.
Li Zhen suggested, "Why don't we go back and call some helpers to search the mountains."
"Okay, you go back, I'll check again."
"Do you think it's possible? How can I trust you to stay alone."
Song Yingbai sighed and did not respond.
"The madam said, drinks are fine..." Li Zhen said, "Actually, I understand, you just said that to make me give up."
Song Yingbai whispered: "Yes, just give up."
Li Zhen said, "What if not?"
"Anyway, the ending will be the same sooner or later." Song Yingbai insisted.
Li Zhen was a little sad, "Okay, then I'll go back first!" After finishing speaking, he really went out, but as soon as he went out, he stopped, how could he leave Song Yingbai and really go.
"Li Zhen—" At this moment, Song Yingbai in the room screamed.
Li Zhen hurried back, and saw that the tip of Song Yingbai's right finger began to change, and the texture of jade spread along the finger to the whole hand.
"What's going on?" Li Zhen rushed up and looked at everything in front of him in panic. Isn't it that only those who are touched by Song Yingbai will turn into jade? Why did he also change himself?
Song Yingbai was out of control, the feeling of turning into a statue little by little was too scary, "I don't know, it started all of a sudden."
At this time, Song Yingbai's feet also began to change, the knees became smooth jade, and he couldn't move half a step.
Li Zhen didn't care so much anymore, put his hand on the spreading joint, and said anxiously: "How can it stop?"
"Don't touch me, it would be terrible if you become a statue too! Eh?... Should I say my last words?" Song Yingbai saw that his shoulder had turned into a jade carving. If he couldn't change back, the next sentence would be His last voice in this world, but what to say, to Li Zhen...
"Don't talk nonsense! You won't die so many times, and you will be safe this time!"
"Well, think it over..." Song Yingbai smiled at him, "Li Zhen...Actually, I still miss you..."
With the last syllable finished, the whole person has also completed the transformation.
Li Zhen stroked his cheek and had to believe that all this was true. He choked up and said, "No, it doesn't matter, I will definitely change you back."
At this time, I heard a voice behind me chuckle and said: "Master, everything is in order, now you can be a hero and save the beauty."
