twin moon

Chapter 49 Scene [-] Undercurrent Part [-]
It has been snowing heavily for days, and the ice edges hang down under the eaves of Jiayunzhai, uneven.It was late at night, and with the faint sound of clappers in the hands of the watchman coming from outside the house, the snowflakes that were still falling were flicking on the paper, rustling, as if someone was whispering.

Ning Yue was lying in her room, falling asleep in a deep sleep.

In the dimness, the sound of clappers in the girl's ears suddenly became urgent, and the originally silent Mulu City gradually became noisy.Instead, a loud bang caused her to open her eyes. She felt a heart beating rapidly in her chest. When she turned her head, she saw a diffuse fire light rising outside the window at some point, and figures were twisting and running in the dancing flames. It seems to be countless demons and ghosts crawling out of hell.

The girl realized that something was wrong, but her body seemed to be imprisoned, and she couldn't move out of the bed at all, let alone make a sound.She had no choice but to bury her head under the thick quilt and pillow, as if she could isolate herself from the crazy and chaotic world outside.

In the darkness, there was a series of unhurried footsteps in Jiayun Studio.The visitor approached the door of the girl's room along the wooden stairs, and broke in with a bang!

"Do you think you can escape your clan and your fate by hiding here?"

The voice of the visitor was not high, but Ning Yue immediately felt as if a piece of cold pig iron had been stuck to her back, and trembled violently.She didn't dare to look back, but wrapped the quilt around her head a little tighter:

"Didn't you send your only daughter to Ganyuan to be punished because someone broke into the court without authorization? What are you looking for me now? I will never go back with you!"

"Whether you like it or not, the power in your body has slowly awakened. Don't forget whose daughter you are! The most noble blood in Cangliu City flows on your body, and you are destined to become The next High Priest!"

"Father, can you stop forcing me? I don't want to learn those killing techniques at all, and I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore! I just want to be an ordinary person and live a good life with the people I care about!"

Ning Yue curled up on the couch and roared, but felt that her words were so weak.

"Childish! What you should care about right now, shouldn't it be your own parents, your own relatives? Those two land boys who follow you like tuna all day long, what is there to miss!"

The priest Feng Weishu yelled loudly, and then sneered, "But you can rest assured, Yue'er, those two nasty boys will never disturb your mind in the future. They will gradually fade from your memory." Go, like all other land people!"

As soon as the words were finished, a bundle made of gauze slipped across the bed, slammed into a corner and rolled a few times, before stopping in front of Ning Yue.The contents of the bag seemed to be very heavy, and when it landed, it made a few muffled thuds on the wooden floor.

Ning Yue lifted the quilt covering her head, but saw that the gauze bundle was covered with dark red marks, and it was not clear whether it was a pattern or a stain.There was a thud in her heart, and an ominous premonition surged immediately, she stretched out her hand tremblingly to untie the knot on the burden, but then screamed and tightly covered her eyes——

Although the bundle was only opened at one corner, a strand of messy black hair came out from the gap that was as wide as a palm.And what can't be concealed under the hair is a face that has long lost its color, and a pair of black pupils that are still staring, with circles of white water marks!
Ning Yue cursed sharply, but what she spoke was a foreign language that no one could understand.She turned her head and stared fixedly at her father who was wearing a loose gown on the other side of the bed, her two blue eyes seemed to burst into flames!
The high priest still stood beside her coldly, and his tone did not allow the slightest disobedience from his daughter:
"My family has a much longer lifespan than the people on land, and we also have powerful magic power that they can't match. We are the most orthodox successors in this world. No matter how much you want to hang out with these short-lived ghosts, In the end, everything will end like this. Now, being a father is just to let this moment come earlier, and it is to let you understand what consequences you will face if you continue to be self-willed!"

The girl didn't say anything more, but the red hair on her head stood on end, like a raging flame burning in the darkness.Along with her plausible words, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the house without warning, and the wooden windows creaked.

However, before the wind became stronger, the wooden windows decorated with exquisite lattices were pierced by a stronger force.Billowing thick smoke and a large amount of sparks poured into the house from the outside, directly throwing Ning Yue to the ground.

"You haven't learned how to be cowardly at all. Just relying on a few mistakes, you think you can compete with your father and the priest of the whole clan?" Feng Weishu walked slowly to his daughter, but he didn't Anything to help her up.

The girl raised her head and stared at the other person's face, with all kinds of emotions in her eyes - resentment, unwillingness, helplessness and regret.After not seeing her for a long time, she suddenly felt that her father's face had become as unfamiliar as a passer-by, and big tears rolled down from her eyes in an instant:

"Murderer! You murderer!"

"What about murderers? My Cangyu family has struggled to survive in the sea for more than ten thousand years, and has experienced countless hardships. My father once promised to the tribe that he would kill the rest of the land and lead the tribe back to their homeland, but now my daughter Mixed with some aliens! How do you want me to explain to the tribe, and how to convince the people in the future?!"

Feng Weishu's face was hidden in the shadow of the wide scorpion, and Ning Yue was not even sure whether the words came from the other party's mouth.However, she could hear every word clearly, "... Right now, this is the last chance my father gave you. If you insist on not following, you can stay here and be buried with these short-lived ghosts. I have the right to be It's okay for my own daughter to die!"

Hearing what the other party said, the red-haired girl bit her lower lip hard, but still shook her head resolutely.Suddenly, in her eyes blurred by tears, the tall man suddenly disappeared without a trace.And where it stood just now, there is only a crystal clear drop-shaped black crystal left.

At the same time, the entire Mulu City was completely engulfed in flames.The red flames reflected the entire sky, and climbed up the roof of Jiayunzhai along the beams.Thick smoke billowed all around, and the scorching heat wave hit the girl directly, making her a little suffocated.She clearly realized that she couldn't escape, and she didn't plan to run again at all, but slumped and hugged the head of her companion wrapped in gauze on the ground, crying heartbroken.

After an unknown amount of time, Ning Yue vaguely felt something cold stick to her cheek, causing the burning sensation to disappear quickly, and a woman's concerned voice gradually came from her ears:

"Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue, don't scare me, wake up quickly!"

The voice of the caller was urgent, and there was a faint fragrance of crabapple in his breath.Ning Yue opened her eyes with difficulty, only to see a vague figure anxiously hugging herself in her arms.The other party in the candlelight was wearing a long purple dress and the silver ornaments on his head jingled. It was Leng Jiayun, the hostess of Jiayunzhai.

The tears in the corners of the girl's eyes were still glistening.In a trance, she didn't have time to think about what happened. She felt her limbs were so weak that she couldn't even sit up. She could only lean on the woman's chest and sob:
"Sister Jia! Jiang Yan and Zi hide them--they were both killed by me!"

"Xiaoyue, are you having a nightmare? Stop talking nonsense. Ziyin just came to visit you tonight, and Jiang Yan also cooked a pot of chicken soup for you with his own hands. Why did you drink it and forget it?" He hugged her shoulders tightly.

"But—but I clearly—!"

Ning Yue's emotions almost collapsed.The thin underwear on her body was completely wet, clinging to the faintly developing ketone body.The pillows on the couch also seemed to have been washed in water, and it was unclear whether the stains were sweat or tears.The red hair was scattered, sticking to the girl's cheeks and forehead one by one, like bloodshot strands.

"You have been running a high fever for the past few days, but now that you sweat so much, your body temperature seems to have dropped a lot." Leng Jiayun said, and raised her hand to touch the forehead of the girl in her arms.

"Is it really...a nightmare...So Jiang Yan and Ziyin are both fine..."

"Of course it's fine. But I've already taught them a lesson. Three of you went out to play in the snow, but you were the only one who fell ill. You really don't know how to be sympathetic."

"Then there is no fire in the city?" Ning Yue was still a little uneasy, she raised her eyes and looked hard at the floor where the gauze burden rolled down just now, then turned her head to look at the tightly closed window lattice, and On it is the undamaged piece of paper that shines with light blue moonlight.

"In winter, there is thick snow everywhere, even if someone sets fire to it, it won't be able to burn it!" Dongli woman couldn't help laughing.It wasn't until this moment that the girl in her arms finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiaoyue, what exactly did you dream about just now? How did you scare yourself like this?" Leng Jiayun frowned slightly and asked again.But Ning Yue didn't want to recall that nightmare dream again, she curled up and put her knees together in front of her chest, shaking her head and muttering:
"nothing……"

"Xiaoyue, do I have to hide something from my sister? You said that you dreamed that Tong Ziyin Jiang Yan was murdered. Who was it that killed them both? Do you know that you just seemed to be possessed by a demon, and your mouth was vague. He was speaking in a strange language indistinctly, as if he was talking to someone in a dream."

"I don't know how to explain it to you, and even if I tell you—Sister Jia, you won't believe it." Ning Yue buried her head in her arms, but her eye sockets were imperceptibly red again.

"If you don't try it, how will you know? This is the third year you have lived in Jiayunzhai, but I still don't know anything about your life experience——"

"Sister Jia, don't ask any more questions. I will tell you when the time is right, but definitely not now..." The red-haired girl still shook her head.

"That's it-my sister won't force you. You can continue to rest, but remember, if you have something to say, you must tell sister Jia, don't hold it in your heart, understand?"

Leng Jiayun nodded lightly, got up and was about to open the door and leave.Ning Yue suddenly raised her head and stopped her:

"Sister Jia, no matter what you hear in my dream tonight, please keep it a secret for me, and don't tell anyone. Especially Jiangyan and Ziyin, okay?"

"You don't want to say anything, what can I say to them? Silly girl, don't worry, how many people take things in dreams as seriously as you do? Go to sleep quickly, and I will let you go to bed early tomorrow morning." Those two brats are here to talk to you."

After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and closed the door for the girl.However, Ning Yue, who was lying down again, did not know that after the other party left, she quickly went to the back hall to fetch a thin wolf hair, put a little crimson color cream on her lips, and put it on a piece that was only two fingers wide. A line of teeny script was quickly written on the oiled paper:
Xiaoyue's father may have something to do with the ancestors, so we must be more cautious in the future, remember!

After finishing writing, Leng Jiayun pinched the piece of oil paper between her fingertips and waved it vigorously a few times, then folded it in half and glued it with paste, and gently put it into a jar of new wine that had just been unsealed.
