"Senior Brother Gong'er, you heard it, it seemed like there was a cry from the top of the mountain!"

"Yes, I heard that too!"

"It sounds like an eagle is screaming!"

"No, it should be the crow!"

……

At the Taiping Temple at the foot of the mountain, Gong'er and a group of young Taoist priests were washing in the backyard after getting up.

When Li Lingyue's cry reached the bottom of the mountain, everyone mistakenly thought it was the cry of a bird.

After Gong'er rinsed her mouth, she cursed in the direction of the top of the mountain, then went outside Li Lingyue's room and knocked on the door as usual.

"Princess, have you gotten up? Princess, did you hear what the slave said?"

After calling several times and seeing no answer from the house, Gong'er opened the door and walked in. Soon, the little girl ran out again in a panic.

"No, the princess is missing!"

As soon as she called out, all the disciples panicked, dressed up and went out to look for the princess.

On the top of the mountain, Li Lingyue was sitting upright on the cliff, her eyes unblinking, looking straight at the ant-sized people at the bottom of the mountain.

Liu Yaoji, Hu San, and A Niu all left, leaving Ma Liu alone to supervise her.

"Princess, hold on, just one more stick of incense and your punishment will be over!"

Because she insulted the four masters, Liu Yaoji extended Li Lingyue's meditation for half an hour.

At this moment, she had tears in her eyes, silver needles were stuck in her acupuncture points, and she couldn't speak, blink, or move!
Fortunately, Liu Yaji didn't let her look at the sun, otherwise she would have gone blind.

After experiencing broken hands and feet, she completely gave up the idea of ​​resisting.

Compared with the 99 repeated fractures, the current punishment was indeed light, but she couldn't stand Ma Liu chattering on the side. She had already thought about it, and once the punishment was over, she would take it out on him.

Ma Liu seemed to have a premonition of Li Lingyue's murderous intent. He took out a medicine bottle and told Li Lingyue in advance:
"Princess, when you return to your residence later, remember to rub this potion on your eyes. This will prevent you from suffering from vertigo!"

"Princess, are you listening? If you know, just blink!"

"Sorry, I forgot you can't blink! Then just nod!"

"Hey, look at my memory, I forgot that you can't move!"

……

Time passed by, sweating on Ma Liu's forehead, he quietly walked up behind Li Lingyue, took advantage of Li Lingyue's surprise, quickly pulled out the silver needles on her body, then rubbed oil on the soles of his feet, and ran down the mountain.

"Go to hell! You bastard!"

Li Lingyue shouted loudly, grabbed the stone on the ground and threw it out.

Near noon, Gong'er searched every corner of the Taoist temple, but could not find Li Lingyue. The little girl cried so hard that not long after, a little Taoist priest came to her and shouted excitedly:

"Senior Brother Gong'er, the temple master has been found!"

Li Lingyue was carried back to the Taoist temple on a stretcher by the Taoist priests who went up the mountain. When they found her, she was limping halfway down the mountain, holding a wooden stick. She looked miserable, not to mention how embarrassed she was.

No matter how Ren Gong'er asked, Li Lingyue still refused to tell her what happened. She finished her lunch in the room, took out the medicine and wiped her eyes, and then fell asleep.

She slept until dark. When she opened her eyes again, she was on the top of the mountain again. The place was still the same, and the people were still the same. Li Lingyue felt desperate and hurriedly discussed:
"Hey! Can you change the torture method tonight? I don't want to look at the stars anymore!"

Liu Yaoji held the silver needle with her fingers and said with a smile:
"Princess, this is not up to you. We are your masters and we have the final say!"

"Then you have to tell me, what's the point of doing this?"

Ma Liu interjected: "Hey, princess, it doesn't actually make any sense. It just wants you to calm down and concentrate!"

Li Lingyue's mood suddenly rose. It's meaningless for you to ask me to do it. I'm just playing monkey here!
But when she thought about the consequences of her outburst, Li Lingyue had no choice but to talk things over and said:
"Give me a sweet word, how can you let me go? As long as I can do it, I will satisfy you unconditionally!"

Liu Yaoji blinked: "What a coincidence, we just want to see the princess being tortured. Princess, you are a high-ranking royal family member, and we are just low-level pariahs licking blood from the edge of a knife. Somehow, the more the princess becomes The more you suffer, the happier we will be! Hehe!"

Li Lingyue was speechless for a while. She didn't know whether to scold her as a hater of rich people or a psychopath. She suppressed her anger and continued to beg in a consultative tone:
"Can you change the torture method? I really don't want to look at the stars anymore!"

"That can't be done!" Liu Yaoji lifted her hair and persuaded in a sweet voice: "Looking at the stars is such a pleasant thing. Besides, with the four of us accompanying you, the princess should be very happy!"

I'm so glad your grandma has such a good leg!
Li Lingyue rolled her eyes and said with disdain, "It's okay to continue watching, but can you please stay away from me?" When Liu Yaoji heard this, her face suddenly lit up with joy!

"It's a good thing, princess, you should have told me earlier, look at how tired the slave family will be!"

Hu San: "Hey, what's that? I'm worried that it would be a pity to have unfinished porridge at home. I'm afraid it will go rancid the next day, so I'll leave now!"

A Niu: "Princess, I have to go home and warm my wife's bed. Let's go, let's go!"

Ma Liu: "Then I'll catch up on some sleep first! Farewell!"

"Hey, I just told you to stay away from me. You won't really leave. You won't do this for fun!"

Li Lingyue felt as if she had made a mistake. Before she could regret it, Liu Yaoji injected a needle into her body, and her whole body turned into a 'statue' looking up at the stars.

Liu Yaoji clapped her hands and smiled at Li Lingyue:

"Tomorrow morning, Ma Liu will come to get the needle for you, so I won't disturb the princess's pleasure!"

After saying that, he tiptoed a little and flew away.

For a moment, Li Lingyue sat alone on the dark and empty mountaintop. There was silence all around, and there was no light. She was a girl, so she could only cry and call her parents if she said she was not afraid.

Especially in the second half of the night, the sounds of wild beasts came from the mountain from time to time, and since she couldn't move, some insects kept crawling on her body.

Thinking about the scene last night, there were at least four guys accompanying her. When snakes, insects, rats and ants came close, Ma Liu and others would considerately help her drive them away.

But tonight... just because of my angry words, I was tortured even more.

This night was the longest night Li Lingyue had ever spent since she was born. She was still awake, counting every second until dawn.

When she returned to the Taoist temple, the first thing she did was not go to sleep, but pack her bags and run away.

It was a pity that she was caught by Ma Liu before she ran a hundred meters out of the gate. The latter slashed her neck with a knife, knocked her unconscious and threw her on the bed, saying "I'm sorry." It's so flashy.

Next, it’s the third night, the fourth night, the fifth night…

Li Lingyue was tortured inhumanely by several people, repeating the same thing over and over again.

She eats, sleeps, and washes her eyes with medicine during the day, and stays up late at night, meditating, and watching the stars.

Fortunately, one bite makes one wise. During this period, she learned her lesson completely and shamelessly pestered a few people to stay with her until dawn.

Of course, while Gan was watching the stars with Li Lingyue, the other four were also bored, so Hu San brought pots and pans, Ma Liu brought tables, chairs and benches, Liu Yaoji brought a dice cup and chessboard, and A Niu brought tea-making utensils...

The four guys buried pots and built stoves on the top of the mountain, ate hot pot in the dark, played backgammon in the sieve cup in the dark, sipped tea in the dark, and hummed a little tune, which made Li Lingyue beside them extremely envious.

It wasn't until the morning of the seventh day that Liu Yaoji woke up lying on the table. She swayed and smelled of alcohol as she walked to Li Lingyue and knelt down in front of her, taking out the needle for her as usual.

Unlike the previous few days, this time there were no tears on Li Lingyue's face due to keeping her eyes open for a long time. She looked at Liu Yaoji and asked in confusion:
"Why are the stars I saw last night not shining?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Yaoji's body trembled, her drunkenness disappeared instantly, and she immediately asked:

"Princess, do you mean all the stars in the sky?"

"Yes! All the stars!" Li Lingyue said firmly: "Somehow, those stars that seemed to be twinkling, after looking at them for a long time, I found that they were not actually twinkling, as if..."

"It seems to have been blocked by something. Because the speed is so fast, it usually looks like it is flickering, right?" Liu Yaoji asked after taking her words.

"Yes, that's how it feels!"

Liu Yaoji covered her mouth and smiled: "Congratulations, princess, you have finally not been deceived by your eyes. From today on, you don't have to look at the stars anymore!"

"Really? So I passed the first level?" Li Lingyue was extremely excited when she heard the news.

Liu Yaoji nodded and smiled: "Of course! We can start the second class tonight!"

"ah"!Li Lingyue's expression froze, feeling like she was going to suffer again:
"Well, let me ask you weakly, what is the second class?"

Seeing her nervous expression, Liu Yaoji stretched out her hand to pinch her face and comforted her:

"Don't worry, this is much easier than looking at the stars. You have played it since you were a child!"

Li Lingyue knocked her hand off and asked seriously: "What on earth is it! Just tell me, I can bear it!"

Liu Yaoji smiled and said three words: "Hide and seek!"
