Ji Zhen took half a step forward, raised his hand to open the curtain, but felt that he was too rude.He looked around to call a servant, but he was the only one in the room.

There was another coughing sound from behind the curtain, and it seemed that words could not keep up with the coughing.Ji Zhen felt something was wrong in his heart, thinking that he should find someone to go in and have a look. He walked out, holding the door and looking out.Manager Zhao had just accompanied him here, but now it's only a moment, he should be outside.

The corridor was empty, without any servants, and a reddish light fell in front of the door.Ji Zhen looked up and saw two red paper lanterns fluttering gently in the wind.

"Is anyone there?" Ji Zhen asked with a raised voice. In a place like the Chen family, it would be unruly for Chen Shouxu to be accompanied by a waiter.

The red paper lantern was blown by the wind, and there was a light click on the corridor pillar, and the reddish light on the ground collided with the night and flickered in a trance.

"Ah Zhen." Chen Shouxu's elderly voice came from the room, "Come in and I'll talk to you."

Ji Zhen smacked his lower lip, the tip of his tongue was bitten off just now, and it still hurts a little bit now, and he could still taste a little bit of blood oozing out when he sucked it hard.

"Oh." Ji Zhen responded, lifted his feet and walked back into the house.

The banquet broke up and people went everywhere.

Liang Leng walked with the people from Yunding Villa with his hands behind his back, talking to Shuyin.

He is elegant and graceful, how can a little girl like Shuyin think that he is not good, and listens to him happily telling interesting stories in the capital.

Jiang Heng and the others didn't interrupt much.Shuyin is young and a girl, so it doesn't matter if she is more lively.Although Jiang Zhui Jiang Qi was not very old, he just listened with his ears up.

Jiang Yi never spoke at all.

Liang Leng was not surprised by this. When he asked Jiang Yi out this afternoon under the pretext of discussing matters, Jiang Yi said very little.There are even rumors from the outside world that the young master of Yunding Villa is devoted to Taoism and cares less about world affairs. Now it seems to be true.

There are advantages and disadvantages in this way. The advantage is that Jiang Yi doesn't care about his marriage contract with Ji Zhen at all, and the disadvantage is that Jiang Yi probably doesn't want to have any marriage contract at all.

Naturally, Liang Leng was not keen on the marriage of the two men, but royal marriages were not born out of love, and everything was based on interests.

Now his father's health has obviously deteriorated, and although he is seated as the crown prince due to the rules of the eldest son and concubine, he is not the child his father really values.There are many variables in the court, and there is no foregone conclusion. He must find a stable path for himself.

Yunding Mountain Villa is the head of the fairy sect, and all the previous national teachers have been taught by Yunding Mountain Villa.Even the emperor believed in this very much. If he could have a connection with Yunding Villa, Liang Leng would be able to inherit the throne more legitimately.

It's just that the marriage contract between Jiang Yi and Ji Zhen is an obstacle now, and Liang Leng didn't expect Ji Zhen to appear in the border town.

Thinking of Ji Zhen, Liang Leng recalled how Ji Zhen endured the pain at the dinner table just now, and really wanted to laugh, and was distracted from talking to Shuyin for a moment.

Liang sneered and asked Shuyin, "Did Mr. Ji come with you?" He wanted to figure out the relationship between Ji Zhen and Jiang Yi.

Shuyin is not happy about Ji Zhen.At the beginning, she felt that Ji Zhen and her senior brother were not worthy, but later she and Ji Zhen and Ruohua couldn't please each other in the bickering, and she was even more unhappy in her heart.At this time Liang Leng asked her, she pouted and said, "No, I met him later, I don't know why he came here."

A gust of wind blew by, bringing the coldness of the winter night, and a light wind chime sounded, fluttering empty in the wall.

Everyone in Yunding Villa was taken aback.

Jiang Yi suddenly turned around and stopped, looked around at the crowd and asked, "Where did Ji San go?"

Everyone was talking to each other before, and they didn't think about this question. At this time, Jiang Yi asked, and everyone subconsciously looked at each other, but couldn't answer for a while.

After a while, Jiang Qi whispered next to him, "Young Master Ji seemed to be stopped by Manager Zhao from the Chen family, and he didn't come with us."

Jiang Yi looked back at the way they came, and the lanterns that were originally lit on both sides were being extinguished one by one by the servants from far to near.The soft wind chime just passed by, but as long as everyone in Yunding Mountain Villa knows that this sound is the result of Jiang Yi's spiritual weapon on the hilt of the sword feeling the unusual enchantment.

It may be that there is magic energy leaking not far from them.But the sound of the wind chime is too short, and it is not necessarily true in a place like Border Town where the devilish energy is common.

At this time, Ji Zhen had already arrived in front of the door curtain. After Chen Shouxu said the words calling him over, he didn't say anything else.The coughing sound inside the curtain was still intermittent. Ji Zhen gently held the corner of the curtain and slowly lifted the curtain.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shouxu also put a screen in his bedroom. On the screen are distant mountains and close-ups. It is an ordinary ink painting. The only thing that catches Ji Zhen's attention is that the ink painting is not ink color, but vermilion, regardless of the depth. Embellished with red smudges, the style is unique.

The candlelight was outside the screen, Ji Zhen could clearly see the painting on the screen, but he couldn't see Chen Shouxu behind the painting.

But at this moment, Chen Shouxu's cough became more violent, and Ji Zhen was startled like a thunderbolt suddenly, and the hand that was holding the door curtain retracted all of a sudden.

The door curtain lost its strength and fell again in front of Ji Zhen, blocking his sight and progress.

The candlelight in the room seemed to be blown by the wind brought by the door curtain, and suddenly shook violently.

Ji Zhen heard the people inside talking again.

"Ah Zhen, come in quickly." Chen Shouxu's voice was old and weak, Ji Zhen felt a little uncomfortable being called by such a voice.Because there was no life in Chen Shouxu's voice, in other words, Chen Shouxu seemed to be full of death.

But when Chen Shouxu opened his mouth, Ji Zhen's hand subconsciously lifted up, and his fingertips touched the door curtain. Before he could use much force, the door curtain floated inward.

In the gap, Ji Zhen smelled a familiar, faint smell of blood.

He sniffed hard, and through the gap in the door curtain, the smell of blood did not flash past like the previous few times, but actually filled Ji Zhen's nose.

Could it be that Chen Shouxu really coughed up blood?Ji Zhen was a little worried, he looked up again, but there was still no one outside the door, and the red paper lanterns in the corridor were still shaking.It was probably getting darker, and the light from the red paper lanterns was more vivid, just like the red screen that flashed past Ji Zhen's eyes just now.

Ji Zhen's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and suddenly he didn't want to go into the back room.

As soon as he flinched, Chen Shouxu's voice in the room rose a lot, "Ah Zhen! Come in quickly."

This tone was almost an order, and at the same time there was the sound of tables and stools being pushed in the room, as if someone got up and walked towards Ji Zhen.Then a hand emerged from the door curtain, black and haggard like a dead tree branch, only one of the fingers was wearing a green gemstone ring to show humanity.

It's definitely not human.

Ji Zhen's eyes widened, he stepped back frequently, and was about to turn around and run away, but unexpectedly a hand tightly held Ji Zhen's shoulder from behind him!

At this moment, Ji Zhen's heart almost jumped out of his mouth. He made a wrong step and wanted to dodge what was behind him. It was restrained by humans or demons, but he didn't expect that the other party's strength and skill would make him even worse with his movements. Pulling it over, Ji Zhen slammed into the arms of the person behind him instead.

Ji Zhen was carrying a self-defense dagger, and he had already reached out to pull it out at this moment. There were wolves in front and tigers in back, so he couldn't allow a little hesitation.

Unexpectedly, the person behind said, "It's me."

Jiang Yi's voice.

Ji Zhen looked back, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Yi's face.And the door curtain in front of him suddenly fell back to its original position, Ji Zhen didn't have time to fall back to its original position, there were two bangs in the room, and the red paper lantern at the door went out.

Ji Zhen held his breath, ignoring that he wanted to scold Jiang Yi for being silent and scary, the hand that was about to draw out the dagger changed its direction, and now it changed to slowly circle backwards.

Jiang Yi was looking straight ahead, feeling the strange aura receding like a wave, and was about to enter the inner room holding the sword, but felt a burst of pressure approaching.He looked down and saw that Ji Zhen's white hands were slowly encircling his waist. It was just a test at first, but when he touched the material of his clothes, those two hands hugged tightly like locks.

Jiang Yi could feel Ji Zhen sticking to his chest, and his whole body was about to wrap around him.

From his angle and eyesight, he could clearly see a bit of fair skin on the back of Ji Zhen's neck, vaguely like the warm texture of warm jade.

Jiang Yi froze for a moment, very uncomfortable, "Don't hug me like this." He whispered.

Ji Zhen disagreed, and was unaware of Jiang Yi's emotions, "But I'm afraid."

Jiang Yi was silent.Ji Zhen turned his head to look at him, noticed the sword in Jiang Yi's hand, and then thought of the hand that had just been retracted in the room. The exorcism could not be delayed. Ji Zhen immediately let go of his hand and walked around to Jiang Yi's side, bargaining, "If you can hold hands I can do it too."

Jiang Yi was speechless, he pushed Ji Zhen aside, and opened the door curtain with a sword.The door curtain was split in half by the sword blade, and fell powerlessly to the ground.

The candles in the room were still on, but the landscape painting on the screen had changed.Ji Zhen couldn't believe it at first glance. He blinked hard and found that the painting on it had indeed turned into black ink.

Jiang Yi raised his left hand with two fingers interlaced, and drew three or five times in mid-air. The candles in the room that were supposed to be extinguished suddenly lit up, illuminating the room like half a day.

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and someone shouted, "Master, master."

People outside carried several lanterns, and a bright light followed the crowd in.

Manager Zhao headed into the room and saw Jiang Yi holding a sword in his hand. He immediately showed surprise and anger, "Master Jiang, what are you doing? My master is sick, but you are being violent here? "

Jiang Yi frowned, Zhao Guanshi took the initiative and turned the words around.And the devilish energy in the room was just like a meteor flashing by, and it disappeared after a short period of time. He really couldn't explain it.

"I want to ask you," Ji Zhen is not Jiang Yi, what restraint and courtesy, he was frightened at first, but at this moment, seeing Guanshi Zhao, his brain came out, "Your master is sick, and you just returned Where did it all go? You called me here, but you disappeared, and something in the house almost killed me. You came just in time, go into the house and see what is in the house."

Zhao Guanshi was displeased when he heard the words, "Young master Ji, although you are my guest, please be careful with your words."

Ji Zhen was sure that something was wrong in this room, and when he looked back at the previous spell, although Guanshi Zhao said that he didn't get someone to give it away, he pushed the matter to a young servant who had been dead for a long time, but who would know what he was talking about? Truth or falsehood?Just now there was obviously no one, but now that Jiang Yi was about to enter the inner room, they all came out, isn't it strange?

"I'm being cautious enough," Ji Zhen said dissatisfied, and secretly pulled Jiang Yi down, and complained to him softly, "The things in the house just hurt me," he discussed with Jiang Yi, "Can I please Give him a punch?"

Hearing that the veins on Zhao Guanshi's forehead almost jumped, did he think his voice was really low? !

I thought that Jiang Yi would not agree to such words, but saw that Jiang Yi thought about it seriously before giving Ji Zhen an answer, "Not for now."

What does it mean not possible? !

Zhao Guanshi snorted coldly, "Young Master Jiang and Young Master Ji are truly a match made in heaven."

The sarcasm of what he said, deliberately wanted to poke Ji Zhen and Jiang Yi's pain points, and wanted to provoke.Jiang Yi was in the fairy gate, so there was no enthusiasm for the marriage contract, and when Ji Zhen arrived in the border town this time, the outside world rumored that he came for Jiang Yi.

They all guessed that one came up and posted backwards, and the other was afraid of being inferior.

Zhao Guanshi originally thought that even if he knew it was sarcasm, Ji Zhen would be more pleased than displeased with this remark.Unexpectedly, Ji Zhen seemed to be cursed, and refuted him loudly, "You can say such things?!"

Who wants to be a match made in heaven with Jiang Yi, and hate that his hair is not green enough in the future?People who can say such things are too vicious.

Zhao Guanshi's expression froze, and he looked at Ji Zhen in confusion.

Even Jiang Yi looked over together, and the scene was a little cold for a while.

"Uh," Ji Zhen and Jiang Yi met each other's eyes, and he realized that he had spoken too quickly just now, and his emotions were obviously out of the drama, so he quickly turned back, "I mean, we are a match made in heaven and he needs to say it? Really? nonsense!"

well!Ji Zhen sighed in his heart, saying such unlucky words, he had to rinse his mouth more before going to bed tonight.

Most of Ji Zhen's frivolous words in the past were private, but now in front of Manager Zhao, Jiang Yi was more at a loss than helplessness.He can be very successful in cultivating Taoism and eliminating demons. In the first 22 years of his life, Jiang Yi's life followed the plan without any mistakes.As soon as Ji Zhen appeared, Jiang Yi discovered that not everything in this world is predictable and controllable.

"Since Mr. Ji insists," Zhao Guanshi said, "then let's go in and see if it's my master or some monster you're talking about."

The things just now were all seen with my own eyes, and Ji Zhen was not afraid, he said, "Just go."

While they were talking, a servant girl had already entered the room carrying the medicine.

As soon as Ji Zhen's voice fell, two people walked around behind the screen, and Ji Zhen's heart rose, thinking that two ghost hands might be stretched out from behind the screen to kill the two maids in the next moment.

However, the imaginary scene did not happen, the two girls just lifted the screen to the side, revealing the face of an old man who was sleeping with his eyes closed on a recliner inside.

The old man's eyebrows can be said to be kind, without any strangeness, and there is only a faint smell of medicinal juice in the room at this time.

Ji Zhen was dumbfounded, Zhao Guanshi glanced at Ji Zhen proudly, then walked into the room, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the old man awake, "Master."

Chen Shouxu opened his eyes, as if in a daze of sleep, and was a little puzzled seeing many people standing in front of him, "What's the matter, who are these two?"

His voice returned to normal, no longer hoarse like after he started coughing.

There is only one thing, his hands exposed under the thin blanket are still a little frighteningly withered.

Ji Zhen turned his head and whispered to Jiang Yi, "Can you make him show his original shape?"

Jiang Yi shook his head, "He is human."

How can this be?Ji Zhen couldn't believe it.

Zhao Guanshi raised his chin even more when he heard the words, and continued Jiang Yi's words very knowledgeably, "Not only that, after being possessed by a monster, there is a residual demonic energy. Does my master have demonic energy at this time?"

Jiang Yi shook his head realistically, "Not really."

His eyes looked at Chen Shouxu indifferently, calm and unwavering but as deep as the sea, as if he had a panoramic view of everything.

Chen Shouxu listened to Zhao Guanshi recount the previous situation, and said with a generous smile: "Ah Zhen is just a child, how can we take him seriously."

Ji Zhen was angry in his heart, but he knew that the other party was full of confidence when he said this, and he really couldn't say anything else, so he might as well ask Jiang Yi carefully when he went back.

When Chen Shouxu said so, Guanshi Zhao had no position to pursue anything, besides, it was Ji Zhen and Jiang Yi who couldn't hold back at this time, and Guanshi Zhao was proud of it.

Therefore, when Ji Zhen and Jiang Yi were sent out of the courtyard, Zhao Guanshi stood on the steps and warned, "Master Jiang, Mr. Ji, listen to my advice, don't work too hard in the border town, there are no demons in this city, only people."
