old grace

Mulberry Hill.

Xie Qinghe has already searched the area for hundreds of miles, the mud under the trees, and the moss beside the water.

He began to reflect on whether he was looking in the wrong direction.

Why not?How can I not find it?What went wrong?Is it true that because of the loss of skin and the inability to have a relationship with everything in the world, is it so dull that it is impossible to find that very important "evidence" that does not know its shape?Do you need a skin?

Now Xie Qinghe has no way to get the skin.

Firstly, there are no birds and beasts in the area of ​​Sangshan Mountain, secondly, the skins of small animals can't hold his primordial soul at all, and thirdly, it is easy to expose his appearance.

Xie Qinghe has been spying secretly in Sangshan. Once there is a skin and something happens, Ye Qingxu will immediately notice it.If you have to get the leather bag and then look for the "evidence" that you don't know what it is, it will be a gamble of breaking the boat.

——If you win the gamble, you may not get the reward you want, and if you lose the gamble, you will definitely be doomed.

Xie Qinghe is not a gambler.

Nor did he like such an uncertain, unplanned plan.

He decided to keep looking.While looking, while thinking.What's wrong?

■

Hanshan, Patriarch Hall.

When Xie Qinghe woke up, he found that the tip of his right finger was covered with cloth strips, which looked very funny.

——It’s like the cute little girl at the foot of the mountain dyed her nails with impatiens. Every finger was painted with flower juice, wrapped up with cloth strips, and after a night’s sleep, she took it off, and her nails became bright red. of.

It was taken for granted that no one would dye Xie Qinghe's fingers with Impatiens flower juice.

Xie Qinghe first looked at his intact left hand, and then gently pressed around the cloth strip wrapped around his right hand.He immediately felt a vague and hot pain, spreading deeply from the nail bed, even the first knuckles were restless.

Someone pulled my nails out.

Xie Qinghe immediately removed the cloth covering the wound and examined the condition of the injury.

The three nails in the middle of the right hand were all pulled out, and the wound had stopped bleeding and scabbed, turning into three ugly blood holes.Because of the impolite pull, the index finger hooked upside down and split a three-cent-long gash, the flesh and blood at that spot split into two halves, and each scab grew, making it even more ugly.

Obviously, he didn't take the medicine seriously.Otherwise, this injury wouldn't look so strange.

Xie Qinghe wanted to take out the medicine from the portable space and clean up his wounds again, but suddenly found that the portable space lost its sense.

Only at this time did he realize that his Xuanchi was hard and solid, and he was no longer in a state like wind and air. Although he didn't use much real energy when Xuanchi was normal, now that Xuanchi is completely out of order, it is obvious that even the former "spiritual light" The state of "now" and "timely and sometimes not effective" is gone.

Xie Qinghe replayed everything before he lost consciousness, and realized that he was played badly by Ye Qingxu.

He also sorted out the cause and effect at the same time, and realized that no matter whether he proposed to go to the Patriarch Hall to ask the ancestors, since Ye Qingxu got Shangguan Shiyi's skin, there was not much doubt about dealing with him.Unless he can act decisively and make Ye Qingxu "go crazy" first.

However, with Youjing's ability, he couldn't make Ye Qingxu "go crazy".

Today's outcome is no surprise.

Now being stigmatized by Ye Qingxu as a madman, imprisoned in the Patriarch's Hall, lost his true energy, and had a few nails pulled out, Xie Qinghe's thoughts are not much depressed, but what he thinks is: [Fortunately, Zong The door was kept in the dark from top to bottom. 】

The cultivation fault of the Hanjiang Sword Sect is very strong, Xie Qinghe, Shangguan Shiyi, and Fu Chuan are in the first echelon, and the rest of Chen Yiwei and others are not worth mentioning.The rest of the outer disciples who couldn't even enter the inner sect were said to be elites, elders, and deacons. They were top ten against the ordinary people down the mountain, but they were not enough to fight against the top experts in the sect.

Now Ye Qingxu kept the hurt in the Patriarch's Hall, and there was no dispute within the sect, which reduced a large number of casualties.

Xie Qinghe didn't expect his disciples to be aware of his situation and come to rescue him. Facing a strong enemy like Ye Qingxu, he only hoped that all his disciples would live as usual without knowing it.

As for his own situation...

Xie Qinghe wrapped back the bandage he had just removed, and became a little stronger in the desperate situation.

Even if Shuang Ling doesn't come to save me, can I still save myself?It's all Xie Qinghe, who is worse than the other!

...Well, I'm a little tired, let's lie down for a while.

Xie Qinghe straightened the quilt with his intact left hand, and lay back down with peace of mind.My fingers hurt so much, I need to take care of them!

He still had injuries left over from the heavy pressure of the mountain protection formation on his body after his true essence was sealed, and he fell into a drowsy sleep not long after lying down.Compared with the injuries caused by the mountain guard formation, the minor injuries from the fingernails being pulled out are really nothing worth mentioning.

Not long after falling asleep, blood trickled out from the corner of Xie Qinghe's mouth.

The elixir life essence remaining in his body disappeared in a flash, and Xie Qinghe, who was vomiting blood in his dream, gradually calmed down.

Xie Qinghe, who had always been dreamless, sank into a dark dreamland. Sitting in the small courtyard with the gentle breeze, he saw the everlasting grass turning to leave, and couldn't help asking: "Where are you going? Are you not cooking for me today? I I want to eat noodles!"

Evergreen turned around and smiled: "Eldest brother, I'm going home. You have to take care of yourself from now on."

Xie Qinghe felt weird, and was embarrassed to tell him not to go home.Everyone wants to go home, so how can we stop them?

Evergreen turned and left, bouncing around as he walked, as if he was very happy.

"Well, let's go home." Xie Qinghe was thoughtful, "Of course I'm very happy to go home."

Beyond the dream.

In the diverticulum of the Patriarch Hall.

Xie Qinghe was sleeping soundly between the quilts, with a trace of blood remaining at the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, the life energy that belonged to the everlasting grass on his forehead gradually dried up and finally disappeared.

Weiyang Palace.

It's the first day of the new year, and there is a big court meeting.

Shu Hanyun stayed in the Yumen Hall until almost noon before leaving, and the Taiji Hall was once again occupied by court officials who came to have a small meeting.

He changed his clothes, drank tea and ate snacks, and chatted with the courtiers until half the afternoon. After finishing the matters in his hands, it was almost dark.The queen's servants came to deliver socks again, Shu Hanyun never entered the harem, and gave them to the queen's palace as usual on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and today is no exception.

When lighting the lamp, the palace people came to report that the fifth master in the side hall asked to see him.

Shu Hanyun just took a mouthful of milk pancakes before putting them down, and quickly said, "Come in, please."

In the past, Yun Chao followed Fu Chuan every step of the way, but this time Fu Chuan came alone with a food box in his hand. He greeted him first, put out the food box, and said, "I made a cup of stew for Your Majesty." Deer tendon nourishing marrow soup is good for muscles and bones."

There was an imperial cook and meals in the palace, so Fu Chuan didn't need to take care of him so attentively.After living in Weiyang Palace, the two said they lived in the Tai Chi Hall together, but in fact the main hall and the side halls were separated by a certain distance, and the emperor was surrounded by palace guards and maidservants, so it was not Fu Chuan's turn to take care of food and daily life.

Fu Chuan started delivering soup to Shu Hanyun yesterday, and before yesterday, it happened to be the day when he learned that Xie Qinghe's nails had been pulled out.

Shu Hanyun knew what Fu Chuan was thinking, so he could only sigh softly.

"Your Majesty ate too perfunctorily." Fu Chuan uncovered the soup cup, handed the spoon to Shu Hanyun, and couldn't help admonishing after seeing the piece of milk cake with a bite out of it, "At noon, the courtiers only served snacks. , Have some snacks tonight?"

Shu Hanyun took two sips of deer tendon soup and praised, "It's not fishy."

Fu Chuan stood beside him respectfully, holding a towel, seeing Shu Hanyun put down the spoon, he stepped forward to serve and wipe his mouth.

"You don't have to be like this. Presumably, master and senior brother have never received such attention." Shu Hanyun reluctantly gave Fu Chuan a hand to sit on his imperial couch, "I know what you want to see. No It looks good. He may not be happy to let you see it. Why worry and heartache in vain?"

Fu Chuan had already sat down, but when he heard the words, he stood up stubbornly, bowed his head and remained silent.

"He has been sleeping for the past two days. No one bothered him." Shu Hanyun revealed.

Who knew that this rhetoric did not reassure Fu Chuan, he asked: "Is there no one to serve him with food and recuperate?"

Shu Hanyun took a bite of the milk cake, paired with the deer tendon soup served by Fu Chuan, and slowly ate the cake and the soup.

He said that no one would bother Xie Qinghe, so naturally no one would wake Xie Qinghe up to feed him.

Shu Hanyun couldn't bear to talk about the specific details.

After being sealed off from his true essence, Xie Qinghe's resilience became no different from that of ordinary people, and he couldn't take out the medicine in his portable space.

The internal injury could not be healed by covering it in the body, and the fingers whose nails had been pulled out did not recover well, and began to bleed and pus.Xie Qinghe woke up and wanted to clean up his wounds. There was nothing in the diverticulum except a little tea.He knocked on the door looking for someone to ask for medicine, but the doors and windows were locked and no one answered.

Not to mention whether he has real energy or not, Xie Qinghe has good muscles and bones after all, and it is no problem to smash the doors and windows and run out.

However, he thought twice and did not smash the window to escape.

——Ye Qingxu didn't let him have contact with the disciples of the sect. If he ran out and met anyone, he wouldn't be able to protect them at this time.

What's more, running out means asking someone for some wound medicine and treating his fingers.Under Ye Qingxu's despotic rule, what else could he do?Therefore, Xie Qinghe stayed in the Patriarch Hall very quietly and did not try to escape.

"Your Majesty." Fu Chuanyin begged.

Shu Hanyun silently ate half of the pie, impatiently begged by Fu Chuan's humble attitude: "So what can you do after seeing it?"

Seeing that he was angry, Fu Chuan didn't have deep feelings after all, so he couldn't force it anymore, so he bowed down and apologized: "Your Majesty, calm down." He also refused to leave immediately.

Shu Hanyun ate a cake carelessly, but ate up the bowl of soup that Fu Chuan brought, and thanked again: "Thank you for your concern. If it doesn't hinder, can you give the prescription to the dining room? Jinxian doesn't dare to work on my junior brother anymore."

Fu Chuan then agreed to write out the prescription, and personally helped Shu Hanyun rinse his mouth, then squatted down to massage Shu Hanyun's legs.

Shu Hanyun couldn't help but said: "You should give up your heart. At Longmenchi, you killed Princess Bai's three daughters, she would never get along with you in harmony. If you have to drag her to see the mirage , I don’t want to show it to you, I’m afraid she will take the opportunity to harm you.”

"En." Fu Chuan agreed, no longer entangled in this matter, and concentrated on massaging Shu Hanyun's legs.

Shu Hanyun said angrily: "I told you, you're dead! Don't come to please me, go back!"

Fu Chuan didn't look up, but asked instead: "If there is no such thing, can I not rub His Majesty's legs? Why does Your Majesty always think that people want to get something when they treat you well?"

Shu Hanyun was taken aback by his question, and his tense body gradually relaxed.

It took nearly half an hour for Fu Chuan Shu Hanyun to finish rubbing. His cultivation base is profound, even if he used his true energy when rubbing, his face was not flushed or out of breath after half an hour, and his expression was as usual.On the contrary, Shu Hanyun's whole body was softened by the pressure, his blood flowed smoothly, and the heat from the soles of his feet to the top of his head became hot.

Fu Chuan washed his hands and drank a cup of tea, said good night to Shu Hanyun, then turned and left.

Shu Hanyun covered his face with a hot face towel and breathed in the moist heat when suddenly he heard a woman's voice smiling beside him: "Shangguan Yunchao didn't let me see that kid because he wanted to guard the 'mistress' for his master. Why are you doing this? I want him, and you want your elder brother, wouldn’t everyone be happy?——I really don’t understand what’s going on in your heart.”

Before Shu Hanyun could speak, the hot towel was removed from his face, and the beautiful face of Princess Bai Yichen Yixi was right in front of her eyes.

"Get out!" Shu Hanyun waved her away in disgust.

With a smile on her face, Princess Bai instantly became eerie. She pinched Shu Hanyun's chin and imprisoned him.

Shu Hanyun curled up in Fu Wei's skin, he was no match for Princess Bai.However, instead of showing weakness, the gaze he confronted with Princess Bai was somewhat ruthless and arrogant.Princess Bai looked at him for a long time, then smiled, controlled his body, head and face even more crazily, lowered her head and bit his lips, thrust her tongue in brutally, and kissed him recklessly.

Shu Hanyun struggled for a long time but couldn't break free, he bit her tongue hard with his teeth, tasted the taste of blood, Princess Bai didn't pull back.

The saliva between the two people's lips and teeth covered each other's chins with blood. Princess Bai had kissed her enough before releasing Shu Hanyun triumphantly.

Shu Hanyun was rude first, then couldn't help cursing: "Crazy woman!"

Princess Bai's injured tongue quickly recovered. She licked her blood-stained lips, leaned close to Shu Hanyun, hinted at his already unconscious body, and said regretfully, "Unfortunately, you haven't used."

Shu Hanyun violently pushed her away: "Go away!"

Princess Bai was as stable as Mount Tai, sitting comfortably beside him, hugging his neck, and stroking his side face: "I'm getting impatient with waiting. Hanshan is your strong enemy, not mine. What I want is What, you knew it from the beginning. If you can't make a decision..."

Princess Bai looked at his haggard but still handsome side face, stuck out her tongue and licked it: "I'm going to find a suitable partner again."

"Who else can you find?" Shu Hanyun asked.

Princess Bai chuckled, regaining her dignity and demureness in front of others, and said lightly: "Who else?"

"You mean that skinned thing on the mountain? You and I both know that he is the God of Punishment in the sky who almost killed the unicorn with a thunderbolt. The younger brother is recuperating. You go to cooperate with him? Could it be that Bai Ze is not considered a monster? Are you going to be sent to your door to be struck by lightning?" Shu Hanyun sneered.

Princess Bai smiled and said, "What I'm talking about is that Fu Jisheng didn't listen to you, so why did I have to talk about this matter through you? Tell him, if I showed him the miserable condition of Xie Qinghe's pus-out finger , will he be so sad that he will agree to my request right away?"

Shu Hanyun said coldly: "Of course I won't agree."

Seeing his fierce face, Princess Bai couldn't help showing a gleam of joy: "I really like your vicious look." She then slapped Shu Han Yun's chin, "Actually, your spine is not incurable. OK. If you can 'stand' up, I don't need him—"

Shu Hanyun snapped her hand open.

Princess Bai looked at the red back of her hand, sneered, and slapped Shu Hanyun's face with her backhand.

Seeing that the corner of Shu Hanyun's mouth was cracked and dripping blood, Princess Bai dipped his blood on her finger, put it between her lips and licked it, and leaned closer to him and said in a low voice: "Let me just say it, you have been the emperor for 20 years. Luck is connected with Sheji, my target was you from the beginning, and it was you from the beginning to the end—but you are so reckless, just happened to meet this thing again."

Princess Bai's fair little hands touched Shu Hanyun's red, swollen and hot cheeks lightly: "It might be that he is really better at it."

"He is the illegitimate son of your skin. He also has the luck of the country and knows the book of Zhibaodong. Besides, he still really loves the unlucky ghost on Hanshan whose nails were pulled out. I just want his wife I want him to have intercourse in Yuanyang, but it doesn’t mean that he will be in love with me and never be separated...for the sake of his elder brother, why not, why does he just agree?"

Shu Hanyun turned his head coldly, and said: "I advise you to think twice. Not to mention that my junior brother will never agree to your unreasonable request. If Yun Chao finds out about this, you will flee for three thousand miles immediately. Hmph , if Eldest Senior Brother finds out about this again, the entire Monster Race will be buried with you for your wishful thinking."

"What a hard mouth, what an arrogant arrogance."

Princess Bai couldn't help applauding him twice, more like mocking.

"Don't talk about Shangguan Yunchao, let alone Xie Qinghe in his heyday. Even the kid who came to give you soup to press your legs just now, I can't beat him. But, Your Majesty, if the level of combat power is really that important, why don't you fight?" Do you want to conspire with my monster clan?" Princess Bai asked back.

Colluding with Princess Bai and cooperating with the Yaozu is an instruction given by Shuangling through Yunchao, and Shu Hanyun did not come up with it on his own.

So far Shu Hanyun has not figured out the reason for cooperating with Yaozu.Similar to "The enemy of my enemy is my ally"?The fighting power of the monster clan is not worth mentioning in front of Ye Qingxu, but who is not like a speck of dust in front of Ye Qingxu?

——Shangguan Shiyi was snatched away quietly, Fu Chuan was chased and fled frantically, and Xie Qinghe was powerless to fight back.

Under such circumstances, some special abilities of the Yaozu are extremely precious.

"You want to 'collude' with me, you want to borrow the power of my monster clan, but you are not willing to give any bargaining chips, and you are not willing to give up half of the benefits." Princess Bai approached Shu Hanyun's handsome forehead and licked it, as if Enjoying a given plaything: "Your Majesty, is there such a good thing in this world?"
