I rely on tricks to cultivate my longevity

Chapter 264
Lin Xixue sat on the eaves of the roof, hugged her right knee, pillowed her face on her knee, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.

The conspiracy and the agency's calculations seem to have finally come to an end here.

But she knew very well that everything was far from over.

The whereabouts of the evil spirits condensed by the blood shadow and King Cheng are unknown, and there are strange things in the palace; the Feng Shui pattern that even Feng Yuexian cannot understand; and in the imperial mausoleum, there is a man who may go crazy at any time.

She looked up at the sky, her gaze seemed to be beyond the blue behind the clouds.

She will never forget that there are monsters like Tianzun and Lei Zu hidden behind the sky, as well as the so-called "Hualotian" mentioned by Xu Zhiyi.

There are too many threats, too many mysteries.

But, she was too tired and she needed to rest.

At least for now, she wanted to give herself a little space to relax and rest.

So, she slowly closed her eyes. Although there was a hint of sadness between her brows, her breathing became calmer.

But the leisurely mood could not last long. She heard Yanzi call softly: "Mother."

"Ok?"

"Mom, I can't change the appearance of that big long worm we just saw. It's so strange!"

"Big worm?" Lin Xixue paused, "You mean boiling green?"

"Yes, it's this long worm. Whether it's flying insects, animals, grass, trees, mud or rocks, I can tell how it will change just by looking at it."

"But this long worm is so strange. I can't think of any way to change it. It's not that it can't be similar in appearance. It's just..." Yanzi hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I always feel like something is missing."

After saying that, the swallow turned into a long purple dragon as thick as a forearm, wrapped around Lin Xixue's arm, and said: "Mother, can you help me find out what's wrong?"

Lin Xixue looked carefully and saw that the swallow's dragon whiskers, horns, and scales were all so lifelike that it was difficult to tell whether they were real or fake.

Only a pair of dragon eyes seemed to be forcibly grafted from other creatures. Not only did they not show the power of dragons, they were actually extremely funny, which made her laugh out loud.

After all, Nao Qing's pair of dragon eyes had been gouged out. Yan Zi had never seen it before, so he could only transform it based on his feelings, so it was difficult for him to have any charm.

Could it be that Yanzi felt something was wrong because of the longan problem?

But even if Lin Xixue guessed the crux of the problem, it was not something she could solve. After all, she had never seen what the True Dragon's Eye looked like.

But even so, the swallow's ability to change still frightened her. She didn't expect that she could change a creature like a real dragon so realistically.

After all, the origin of this swallow is also extremely strange. It was the result of the Three Emotions Mask being affected by Lei Zusha Lei and swallowing the materials of the Seven Emotions Mask.

Although his origin is unknown, he is surprisingly sincere to himself. He doesn’t know why or what will happen in the future.

But she has looked away now, as long as she can use it for herself for the time being, and we will talk about the future later.

She told Yanzi that the longan did not have charm, but after she couldn't solve it, Yanzi seemed extremely disappointed.

This swallow obviously had the nature of a child. It was the first time since he was born that he encountered something that could not be changed. It was not difficult to understand why Lin Xixue was a little frustrated.

However, Lin Xixue suddenly had an idea and thought of a possibility.

Although Yan Zi cannot transform into a real dragon eye, does not have dragon power, and lacks charm, but he is currently able to emit some dragon power because of the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Fire.

If Yanzi transforms himself into a dragon form, and then releases the dragon's power by himself, I wonder if there will be any changes?
Unfortunately, in the city, there were so many people and it was difficult for her to really test this conjecture. "Candied haws on a stick, candied haws on a stick -" Just as she was thinking about it, a shout from afar suddenly attracted her attention.

She looked at the entrance of the market not far away, and there was a stooped old man who was selling straw with a hoarse voice.

However, the city has just undergone a shocking change. There are only a few people in the city entrance, and naturally not many people are interested in this candied haws.

"Candied haws on ice?" Lin Xixue whispered to herself, thinking that this thing was Feng Yuexian's favorite, and the father-in-law looked quite pitiful, so he might as well buy all these candied haws.

She asked Yanzi to hide it, walked up to her father-in-law and said, "Old man, I want all these candied haws." Then she took out the money from her sleeve.

The old man smiled bitterly and took out a candied haws, handed it to Lin Xixue, and said, "Girl, you don't need any money, just take it and eat it."

"Don't want money?" Lin Xixue frowned slightly, suddenly alert, holding her right hand empty, ready to draw out the split light to break the night at any time.

It should be noted that these troubled times are different from modern times. Salt and sugar are rare items. How can you not pay for them?Even for charity, I have never heard of using candied haws.

As if he noticed Lin Xixue's frown, the old man hurriedly explained: "Girl, don't get me wrong, sending candied haws of sugar is just an obsession in my heart."

Lin Xixue was noncommittal, did not go to pick up the candied haws, and replied: "Can the old man make it clear?"

"Hehe." The old man's laughter seemed to be self-deprecating and crying, "My son passed away two days ago. These hawthorns are the fruit of the hawthorn tree planted by my son and his daughter-in-law."

"A few years ago, on the day when my daughter-in-law was diagnosed with a positive pulse, the two of them planted a hawthorn tree in the hospital. A few months later, my daughter-in-law passed away due to dystocia, and the baby was suffocated in the womb."

"I have sought out a matchmaker many times and wanted to renew my son's string, but every time he refused, just staring at the hawthorn tree in the courtyard in a daze. Every time the hawthorn fell, he would make candied haws and give them to the neighbors."

"This kid has a lot of potential. He just became a member of the Yunchui Guards not long ago." At this point, the old man suddenly laughed, "Hehe, hehehehe, but he suddenly left."

He laughed, wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, and continued in a tone that was difficult to distinguish between sadness and joy: "He was beheaded with a single knife, and not even a whole body was left behind."

"I asked who the murderer was, and they just said it was someone I could never offend in my life."

"That's right, I'm just a person about to be put in a coffin. I can't afford to offend him. I can't afford to offend him. I can't afford to offend him."

"Hehe, hehehehe, Hahaha girl, do you think there is really justice in this world?"

Lin Xixue stood there blankly.

Two days ago, Yun Chui, who was guarding hundreds of households, was beheaded with a single sword. Wasn't the "perpetrator" himself?

"Girl." The father-in-law's voice was hoarse to the extreme, and the broken voice seemed to be squeezed out from the gap in his vocal cords.

"Old man, tell me"

"Girl, look at your clothes, you must have an extraordinary background. Can you help me find out who the murderer of my son is?"

"The old man wants revenge?"

"Revenge. I, a person with half a foot in the coffin, don't dare to think about such a thing. I just want to ask the girl to help find out the real murderer. If I don't know who killed this child, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest in peace until my death. .”

Lin Xixue's lips moved slightly, but she didn't know how to speak.

She asked herself that she was not a weak person, but at this moment she really didn't know how to confess to her father-in-law that she had killed his son.

After a long silence, she clenched her fists tightly, bit her lip slightly, and finally said, "Old man, in fact, I killed your son."

　I was wrong. I failed again before and failed to live up to everyone's expectations. I continued to start self-hypnosis and did not stop updating.
