When the devil

【Jinchuan Castle Dungeon】

It was like having a very long dream, and I woke up in a daze, with no sound in my ears, not even my own breathing.

Cheng Yingjie opened his eyes and looked outside the cell, seeing the flickering lights, he didn't know when that person got up and stood there, it took him a lot of time to notice the existence of the other person.

"The Queen's order, the person who summoned Wuwu has been caught, tomorrow is the best chance to kill Wuwu."

Guo Xianhou stood quietly outside the cell with his hands behind his back. He seemed very dissatisfied with Cheng Yingjie's sluggish eyes. After looking at each other for a long time, he raised the corner of his mouth and showed a very contemptuous smile: "The empress, considering the kindness between you and the prince, advises me to give you last chance."

Cheng Yingjie looked at him, slowly and softly laughed: "What do you want me to do?" He looked at Guo Xianhou, and laughed at himself: "What else can I do?"

Guo Xianhou snorted and raised his chin. The servant next to him immediately put his hand into the crack of the cell, holding a light-colored jade bracelet in his palm.

Cheng Yingjie was stunned, he naturally remembered that bracelet, not long ago, on his wedding day, Wei Ling gave it to his wife as a gift.

Cheng Yingjie's eyes widened in disbelief, and he grabbed onto the guardrail fiercely with both hands. He moved very loudly, and the heavy iron chains that bound him all made a loud noise under his pull. break.

But there seemed to be no sound around him at first, no matter how angry or irritable he was, everything was so powerless in the silence around his ears.

"Don't worry, she's fine." Guo Xianhou said, "It's just for borrowing."

Cheng Yingjie looked hesitant, and took the bracelet slowly.

He was completely useless in cultivation, even though he knew that Wei Ling's magic power was contained in that bracelet, but he couldn't feel anything when he held it in his hand.

"I will find another way." Cheng Yingjie thought for a while, then put the bracelet back into the opponent's hand: "Let's leave this with Qing'er."

"Haha, why are you still expecting to use your junior brother's mana to protect your wife? There must be a limit to its uselessness."

"..." Cheng Yingjie raised his head, he didn't suffer any torture in prison, and there wasn't much expression on his face other than exhaustion.

"Ordinary mana can't hurt Wuwu, but this thing is different." Guo Xianhou threw the jade bracelet on the ground: "This time, only success is allowed, not failure."

It was the only sound in the endless emptiness.

It is the only purity that will not be overwhelmed by demon power.

Cheng Yingjie looked down and didn't say much.

"Don't forget who saved your name from the emperor. Repay her well."

Guo Xianhou left such a sentence, no longer waiting for Cheng Yingjie's reply, his bloated figure slowly moved, one step after another, he left the front of the cell.

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly returned to sound, at least Cheng Yingjie heard his own gasping breathing again.

The jade bracelet lay quietly on the ground, and the drowsy firelight of the dungeon bloomed on its clear surface, which was very beautiful.

When Wei Ling returned to Huajiang Pavilion, Xia Zhou was already waiting for him on the top of the gate of the other courtyard. It seemed that no matter how clever Gu Yuan was, she couldn't hold Xia Zhou back.

Wei Ling pretended not to see him, and walked in through the door. The airflow behind him was slightly disturbed, and there was a faint smell of alcohol. He knew it was Xia Zhou who followed.

"A Ling is in a good mood, and I went out to hang out in the middle of the night while I was away." Xia Zhou relied on his long legs to catch up with him in three steps and two steps, and even circled around Wei Ling: "Why, something is up ?”

"I didn't do anything." Wei Ling smiled at him: "You did."

Xia Zhou was tickled by his startled smile, and leaned closer and said, "Why are you being polite to your Xia Da Yao, mine is yours, and who in the world knows who knows me would not know that we are holding hands and our hearts are in harmony." Attached to the heart?"

Wei Ling said: "Really? It seems that I am ignorant."

Xia Zhou said: "So, why don't we come to see the truth in adversity in advance?"

Wei Ling walked around with him: "How dare you trouble Xia Da Yao."

The two of them went back to the house one after the other, the inside was lit and dim, and there was a bowl of hot soup on the table with a faint fragrance.Wei Ling didn't eat, and he didn't feel hungry. Xia Zhou behind him stopped him and took it to the table: "A Ling, this is the soup made by Beishan Zhenjun. Try it."

Wei Ling was confused by him. After observing carefully for a while, he saw that Xia Zhou's eyes were in a trance. The beast is so drunk.

"Could it be that those old thieves in the Taili Academy are tired of their jobs, and they can't figure out how much they weigh, so they provoke the relationship between me and A Ling." Xia Zhou filled Wei Ling with soup, but he didn't give him the soup after filling it. I personally picked up the porcelain spoon to feed.

Wei Ling opened her mouth obediently.

The warm soup entered her lips, filled with moisture, the beauty raised her eyes slightly, and the light turned into mist.

Xia Zhou was quiet for a while, put down the spoon, and lifted Wei Ling's chin slenderly.

"Sometimes I really feel like you're seducing|seducing me."

He leaned over, Wei Ling's eyes followed him, the shadow pressed up, and the distance between the two got closer.

"I'm tired of fine wine." Wei Ling didn't hide or run away, her voice trembling slightly: "Let's have a toast once in a while."

Xia Zhou laughed, but his eyes were full of desire to tear him apart: "How can you be so wronged by Ah Ling's words, are you waiting for me to toast? Could it be that Yu Wanfeng broke up with you?"

Wei Ling said softly: "He is from Gu Xiao, and he has nothing to do with the calamity of Liuli Mountain. I think he has nothing to talk about from the beginning, and he just sent me a letter..."

The fire was dimly lit, reflecting Wei Ling's naturally beautiful facial features as flawless as white jade.

Xia Zhou touched his face, lowered his head and kissed him, Wei Ling subconsciously wanted to hide, but was blocked by Xia Zhou's palm, with a faint smell of alcohol mixed with him, he quietly followed this intimate move, waiting He kissed enough before slowly opening his eyes.

"If you don't want to hear it, then don't say it." Wei Ling's eyes were full of helplessness.

"Listen, of course, you continue to talk." Xia Zhou smiled lightly, not letting go of him.

"..." Wei Ling breathed a sigh of relief, raised his fingers to push Xia Zhou's hand away, and Xia Zhou took his hand naturally, pinching it back and forth to play.

"You said what kind of sword you practice, what kind of piano you play, your fingers are not as slippery as the girl's." Xia Zhou sighed.

Wei Ling withdrew his hand, and turned to carry a bowl of soup. Xia Zhou's palms were empty, which was unpleasant, but in the end he stopped making a fuss. The reputation of your precious apprentice sent you a letter, and the next day, he went to the Guo Mansion with great fanfare to capture your elder brother, and now he came to you sneakily, and then, just to ask you to help kill me? You agreed?"

"He said that the person who summoned you is already in his hands." Wei Ling drank the soup, her voice softened a little.

"Haha." Xia Zhou was amused: "Really? The person who summoned me is so useless?"

Wei Ling said: "If it is true, what impact will it have?"

Xia Zhou smiled for a while before seriously thinking about Wei Ling's question: "There are quite a lot of influences. For example, if you find a monster to possess him, you can rely on the power of the contract to restrain me, or simply kill him, and the contract is broken. , relying on my reluctance to eat you, let me become a lonely ghost, and when the demon power on my body is exhausted, I will die naturally."

There was prickly ash in the soup, and Wei Ling sneezed just after drinking it. He sniffed and thought about what Xia Zhou said.

Xia Zhou is also patient, holding up a handsome face and taking watching Wei Ling as a kind of enjoyment.

Wei Ling said: "I was wondering if the person who summoned you was just a substitute."

Xia Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"We always default to the person who summoned you as the one behind the whole thing..."

"Is not it?"

"I thought so too, but today's incident always makes me feel too light. Either they are lying, or... this person is just a dead ghost."

Xia Zhou had a smile in his eyes: "What does Ah Ling mean, he was willing to summon me because he was instructed by others?"

Wei Ling said: "The art of recruiting demons is a forbidden technique. It needs blood and dead souls as an opportunity to connect to the gate of the demon realm... Then offer sacrifices and make your own wishes. Once the demons accept the sacrifices, they must fulfill that wish. This is the contract between the demon and the demon recruiter." He paused here, and then said: "But if someone else instigates him to make the wish of 'others', and then control the contractor..."

Xia Zhou understood what he meant: "Then, the mastermind behind the scenes will be able to escape unscathed, even I can't guess his real body, and once I accept the sacrifice, it doesn't matter whether the contractor is dead or alive, What matters is the evil vow he made when he offered the sacrifice."

"Yes." Wei Ling said calmly, "But I disrupted his plan. Although you accepted the 'sacrifice', you couldn't really swallow it. They couldn't kill the contractor, but it was inconvenient to keep it... ...So it was put out at this juncture."

Xia Zhou said: "According to your inference, whoever owns the contractor may be the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Wei Ling followed his train of thought to think, as Yu Wanfeng mentioned, the person who summoned Wuwu is in the prison of the Taili Court at the moment, but the Taili Court is only the executor, and the commander behind them is the emperor Gu Xiao, but Gu Xiao At that time, he was an enemy of the Eastern Realm, and the coming of Wuwu would be harmful to him instead of beneficial...

"Taili Court, Crown Prince, King You..." Wei Ling muttered to himself, "Or, Empress."

"From the motive point of view, the queen is the most likely. The Guo family is attached to her. It was the prince who sent you down the mountain, and the prince is the son of the queen. Your unfounded inference can make everything go wrong. Get up." Xia Zhou smiled gloatingly: "What to do, Ah Ling, the more this matter goes down, the more difficult it will be for you."

Wei Ling: "..."

Xia Zhou stretched out his slender legs and hooked Weiling's clothes: "Why don't you accompany me to sing and sing every night, let me die on the couch with all my strength, and all my troubles will be solved."

This monster's mind leaps too far, making it difficult for people to keep up.

Wei Ling drank a whole bowl of soup, his body warmed up, and he felt drowsy. He put down the bowl and stood up, sipping the remaining umami taste of the soup in his mouth.

"I advise you to go out and enjoy some fresh air, sober up, and don't think about inexplicable things all day long." He glanced at Xia Zhou's ambiguous and confused eyes, and quickly turned to the side: "I'm going to take a bath."

Before he could leave, he was hugged from behind again.Xia Zhou put him on the table, using his height to block him, the movement was a bit loud, and he almost knocked over the soup on the table.

"What kind of bath do you take? I'll wash it with you."

Xia Zhou lowered his head and approached Wei Ling, with the bridge of his nose pressed against the back of his hair. Wei Ling was disturbed, and his breathing made him a little hot.

His skin is delicate, his muscles are like white jade, and his cheeks are dyed as soon as his ears are red with affection.

Any color is particularly conspicuous on him.Xia Zhou saw it, and his heart was full of love.

"A Ling, it's a good thing you have me, otherwise, you will be ruined by this group of people one day."

He wanted to kiss him, his voice was coquettish.

Wei Ling was so numb from the sound, she lost her strength, propped her hands on the table, looked sideways at Xia Zhou, and then retorted in a very soft voice: "I...was crippled by you first."

"Are you complimenting me?" Xia Zhou happily reached out to caress the back of his hand, slowly slipped into the gap between his fingers, and interlocked with his white fingers: "Try another compliment."

The desire flickering in his eyes was exactly the same as that of Yuyun last night, Wei Ling's mind suddenly went blank, and he wanted to break away abruptly, but his strength couldn't catch up with Xia Zhou.

"Let go, don't today..."

His voice was trembling, and there was mist in his eyes at the end of his slightly raised eyes, and the turbulent emotion caused him to flush, making him breathless.

"You're crying again, why do you love to cry all the time." Xia Zhou refused to let go of him, pulling his arm to pull him up.

Wei Ling raised his head, his black hair was sticking to the back of his neck, and the desire to have nowhere to rest became more and more intense, which made him feel at a loss.

Xia Zhou's voice was low and hoarse, and he pressed against Wei Ling's ear: "A Ling, do you dare to meet other men behind my back from now on?"

Wei Ling was bitten by Xia Zhou very painfully, her eyes were full of tears, blurred.

"open…"

His voice was viscous and he was begging, because his breathing was disturbed and he couldn't lift up.The voice was already soft, even more inaudible when he was crying, but the damp sound was so noisy, mixed with heat and melted in his ears.

There is a big black hole in Wei Ling's heart, he forgot when that hole was left, whenever he is alone in the dead of night, countless empty and hopeless coolness will emerge from that hole.

But recently he had an illusion, as if every time Xia Zhou got closer and the temperature of each other intersected, the hole was inexplicably filled to the brim.For no reason, he felt a sense of security of unknown origin, which paralyzed his thoughts like poison, stopped time, and froze his breath. Then he touched him and hugged him, without distance or loneliness.

He thought that he must have been driven crazy by Xia Zhou to have such an absurd illusion.

He thought again, maybe it's not bad to be really crazy like this.
