The end of 1525 is approaching
ao, when you wrote down that information, didn't you take a second glance at the birth dates and eight characters""Why are you looking at your birth chart If you find a wife, it's because Heaven, Eart...The morning bell rings through the forest, startling the birds.
Two little birds flew to the eaves and chirped, waking me up.
As soon as he reached out, Jiang Qiyun beside him had already vanished.
When others touch a bed, they're feeling if there's still warmth left. When I touch a bed, I'm feeling if it's cold or not.
The normal temperature means he has been gone for a long time.
I sat on the bed for a while, looking down at myself. There were little love bites on my chest and collarbone... I could only change into this side's Taoist robes.
The Shen family had always been a reclusive order of cultivators, so wearing ordinary clothes would look out of place here. Therefore, the wardrobe here is filled with robes custom-made for me by the housekeeper.
Yesterday, Jiang Qiyun repeatedly mentioned that the end of the year was approaching and demons would enter the world, which made me feel that this cold morning had an extra touch of solemnity.
I combed my hair, put on my cotton robe, and was just about to take the file box out when a scream came from the back courtyard.
"Sigh..."
There's a 99% chance Chongmo is messing around again.
As soon as I stepped out of the gate, a thin figure dashed over from the corridor.
Chen Yan ran over, crying and trembling, her face pale with fright. She stammered, pointing towards the side courtyard: “Master…that, that person you brought back…”
"Well, what's wrong with him again"
"He, his hand, was broken by me!!! What, what do I do——"
Oh...
I silently bowed my head and sighed.
"Don't worry about him," I patted Shenyan's head. "That guy has ADHD and bipolar disorder, he can't stand not bothering someone every minute."
"But his arm—"
I shook my head and walked towards the side courtyard.
The secluded courtyard used for confinement was definitely the most remote place. Normally, if a disciple made a mistake, they would be sent here to reflect in silence. The environment certainly wasn't pleasant.
Chong Mo Da Ye was extremely dissatisfied - not only was he bound by Jiang Qi Yun's talisman and unable to move, but he was also thrown onto a broken bed.
Then, when Chenyan came to deliver meals to the side courtyard, he would take advantage of the opportunity to bully and frighten her.
"I said... You, the lord of a demon realm, bullying my little disciple for what" I said helplessly.
Master Chong was lying straight on the bed, his arm flung to the side. I imagined a "gecko" in my mind.
He glanced at us: "What kind of place is this It's so drab and old, falling apart."
"Oh So the dungeon is still the most comfortable then Shall I go down and get you two large iron chains to hang" I scoffed.
He was so stubborn and prideful. Hearing me say this, he glared at me angrily and refused to admit that he had fallen for the trap: "Who knew there would be a secret base there People these days are too complicated, with so many bad people! I don't know what you humans are up to. You have so many beautiful mountains and rivers, but you cultivate such evil thoughts!"
“So, this is not what brought all of you demons into the world” I sat on a square stool in the room, holding my hands and said to Chong Mo: “Jiang Qiyun said he would keep you for a few days. If you really want to be left alone by one person here, then I’ll leave myself. No one in the Shen family will care about you; but if you take the initiative to talk to me and tell me everything you know, then for the sake of the Demon Lord, I will plead for you and set you free.”
When I said that first part, Chong Mo's furious expression was as if he wanted to rush up and slap me a few times.
But when I said "Master Demon Lord's face", a glimmer of pride flashed in his eyes again.
—Isn't that a little "stupid"
"Mu Xiaqiao, are you stupid You dare to leave me here Don't you fear I'll summon a demon beast and have it devour everyone in this manor!" He growled, baring his teeth.
“Oh Then why were you so well-behaved last night”
I scratched my ear, Jiang Qiyun's silver light spell I've seen a few times, every time it appears it's basically "Universe Purification," if you could break free, would you obediently lie here and die
"Hmph, no matter gods or demons, their abilities in this world will all be bound. Once the power of this curse mark weakens, I'll summon demonic beasts, one by one... I won't even bite them to death, just bite half your bodies off, leaving your intestines spilling out, flesh and blood mangled, you'll die a slow and agonizing death—"
"Oh——!!"
The smoke behind him covered his ears and he cried out.
I was taken aback, tilting my head slightly. Chenyan covered her ears and hunched down behind me, obviously frightened by this detailed description.
Chong Mo was taken aback. He hadn't expected to scare the little girl.
"Haven't you got anyone to attend to you Send a child to watch over me" Chong Mo said disdainfully.
“Not guarding, I’m here to deliver food! The people of our Taoist family would never mistreat anyone. Who knows you're scaring my little disciples, what a disgrace…”
"Chongmo probably also felt a little embarrassed scaring a girl of ten years old. Lying on the bed, bored, he said, "Forget it, forget it, really boring... Hey, you mortals, don't go near that area."
"Um Is it because of that huge eye"
That was a divine artifact from the Demon Realm...
"What exactly was it When I used the Purple Cloud Staff to break through the demonic barrier, that eye opened. It looked wicked and ferocious, and blood tears streamed down its face..." I said, still shaken.
"That is a mirage pearl."
Mirage Pearl
It is said that a long time ago, the Serpent Dragon was injured in a battle with demonic creatures from the Demon Realm, losing an eye. The eye fell into the Demon Realm, and the proud Serpent Dragon simply discarded it. As a result, it was worshipped as a divine artifact in the Demon Realm…
The more we interacted, the more Chong Mo became familiar with me. He didn't act as rash and prone to violence as he used to.
And this fellow seems... quite disheartened, indeed.
What did he encounter down there He felt like he had a fire in his belly, but he didn't dare act rashly.
The Eye of the Mirage...
"Is the mirage serpent very ferocious"
"Huh" Chong Mo was taken aback. "Dragons are gods, mostly majestic and benevolent. Otherwise, how could they live in the Upper Realm But a mirage dragon is very proud and arrogant, with its scales facing inward, haven't you heard"
"No." I shook my head.
"Tsk..." Chong Mo let out a snort, as if talking to me lowered his status.
I'm too lazy to deal with him. I stood up and said, "You speak nicely, and I'll chat with you for a while. If you don't speak nicely, just stay here lying down... Chenyan, don't bring him food anymore. He's just a shell of a person anyway."
As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps came from outside. The sound of high heels told me instantly who it was.
"Where's the zombie" Shen Qingrui seemed to have just rushed back from outside and hadn't had time to change clothes.
She saw me, turned her head and let out a cold snort to the Taoist behind her: "The head of the family is here~~ What did you call me to see"
This sarcastic voice, it's really…
I'm too lazy to stoop to her level.
"You're just in time, I have something to tell you." I patted the file box I was holding.
"No time," she snorted. "You're back just in time! I have something to tell you."
Oh oh
She actually took the initiative to report her work to me
Shen Qingrui is a typical type of stubborn, hard-mouthed and annoying person, but in the Shen family, there's really nothing to pick on her about.
Assignments, cultivation, completing commissions... There wasn't a single peer who could compare to her skill.
She turned and said, "I'll go change my clothes. I'll be waiting for you in the study in a little while."
I really don't know who the head of the household is.
I turned back, intending to tell Chong Mo to be more honest and come back later for questioning.
It turned out that Chong Mo's eyes were fixed intently on Shen Qingrui's departing figure!
And a sinister and dangerous gleam appeared in his eyes.
"This woman... who is she!" he asked in a low voice.
"A disciple of the Shen family," I observed Mo's expression carefully.
"...Get her away from here." Chong murmured.
"Why" I asked, puzzled.
"...She, is a good prey..."
""
>o outsiders, I felt braver.“......Helping you” He let out a cold laugh: “Am I not helping the country by doing this”Well..."You might think this is just an internal matter within your circle, your fam...
