With Feng Xing

Chapter 3 The unpredictable mortal clouds

The rumors from the outside world are becoming more and more exaggerated, but this does not seem to have much impact on Xingyun's life. He still guards the small courtyard, raises fish and bask in the sun every day.

One day when she was bored, Shen Li looked at Xingyun lying by the pond and asked: "You are so talented and have this ability, why don't you make a living by telling fortunes?" A "half-immortal" with real abilities like him He could probably take the high-end route and tell fortunes for high-ranking officials and rich people. Even if he told fortunes once a year, his life would be ten times better than now. But Xingyun is too indifferent. In these days of getting along, apart from making money When he came back with the two pieces of bacon and ten copper coins, he had almost never used this ability.

"This is not a good skill." Xingyun said lightly, "It harms others and does not benefit myself. If I don't rely on it, I will still live well."

Shen Li raised his eyebrows, not expecting that a mortal would have such an awareness.Since he saw it so thoroughly, Shen Li stopped discussing this issue and changed the topic and asked: "Xingyun, is there any medicine to increase vitality in the food you make every day? Bring it, I will Study, study.”

Xingyun smiled and turned to look at her. "Do you think I can afford something like that?"

Shen Li was silent, yes...he was a guy who didn't even know how to buy meat. How could he have the leisure to add any tonics to the steamed buns?But in this room, her physical strength did recover much faster than usual. Over the past few days, her inner breath has gradually stabilized. It may be that she regained her body in the past few days...

"Dong dong dong!" The two people were chatting in the backyard when they suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door.Xingyun responded and slowly walked to the front yard to open the door.

This is strange, Shen Li has been here for so many days, except for the girl who climbed over the courtyard wall, she has never seen anyone come to Xingyun.She was curious and followed him without hesitation.As soon as Xingyun opened the door, Shen Li suddenly noticed an inexplicable aura. She looked solemn, but saw a skinny hand reaching out from outside the door and grabbing Xingyun's arm tightly.

The manpower seemed to be extremely strong, pushing Xingyun back two steps and almost trampling Shen Li to death behind his feet.

The door opened, and Shen Li saw that the person holding Xingyun was actually an old woman. She was excited and looked a little dazed. "Immortal, Immortal..." She called out hoarsely twice, "Are you the Immortal they say can forget the past and take advantage of the future?"

Shen Li looked up at her and felt that there was an inexplicable aura surrounding this person, but she didn't have enough magic power to see the reason.

"Uh... I'm probably the person you're looking for." Xingyun said, "It's just..."

Before Xingyun finished speaking, he heard several shouts from the other side of the alley: "Brother and sister!" At that time, a middle-aged man came from behind. He grabbed the woman and said: "Brother and sister! Stop making trouble! Come back with me!"

The man looked only 40 years old, but the woman looked like a 50-year-old woman, with a stooped back and a face full of vicissitudes of life. She seemed to have been tortured by life.She ignored the man, only looked at Xingyun and said: "Immortal, please help me! Please help me figure out where my husband, who has been in the army for fifteen years, is now?"

"Oh my brothers and sisters! Haven't you been deceived enough by those charlatans? Don't ask, it's been so many years..." These words seemed to touch the woman's hidden pain, and she scolded: "No matter how long it takes, you have to ask! No matter how many years you have been away, That’s my husband too! One day I can’t find him, I’ll look for him another day! Day after day, there will always be a day when I find him!”

She turned out to be a military woman. Shen Li lowered her head slightly. She knew very well that once those who went to the battlefield died, their bones might not be found. Searching.

Xingyun gently pulled away the woman's hand and said with a smile: "Madam, I can't calculate this hexagram. You can go back."

The old woman looked stunned: "Aren't you a fairy? Why don't you help me calculate? I just want to know where he is... If you don't help me calculate where he is, then at least tell me his life and death. Let me have something to think about!"

Xingyun smiled at the middle-aged man. "Excuse me." He said as a farewell gesture, "It's time for me to cook."

The middle-aged man was startled, nodded hurriedly and apologized, and took the woman away with half pulling and half persuading her.Xingyun closed the door indifferently and walked into the kitchen to cook as usual.Shen Li walked beside his feet. "You saw something, right? Why didn't you tell that woman? Is her husband dead?"

"No." Xingyun said lightly, "I didn't see anything."

Shen Li was stunned: "But...but..." She murmured for a long time but didn't know what to say. Xingyun's approach of not interfering with nature with his own power was right. She even appreciated it before, but now Despite the situation, she still couldn't help but want to help. If the soldier she led before died on the battlefield, she would not let his family know anything and just wait hopelessly.

Shen Li looked up at Xingyun and walked silently to the backyard. This Xingyun could save a child for ten cents, and could also watch an old woman cry without being indifferent.

He really didn't live a casual life, or rather... unfeeling.

At night, there was silence all around. Xingyun didn't have the habit of locking the door, so Shen Li could open the crack in the door and slip out quietly. With a little recovered mana, Shen Li followed the smell of the woman today and ran towards the end of the alley. go.

There was a faint sigh from the unclosed courtyard door: "This chicken is too busy."

Shen Li followed the breath and found the door of a small courtyard. Just when he didn't know how to enter, the courtyard door suddenly opened with a "squeak". Shen Li hurriedly hid behind the door and hid in the dark.

A man dressed in night patrol clothes and carrying a lantern walked out of the door. He was the middle-aged man who came during the day. "It's almost time for me to be on duty, so I'll leave first. You watch my sister-in-law. Don't let her run out to find some half-immortal again in the middle of the night."

The woman inside responded: "Be careful."

The man responded, turned around and walked away. The courtyard door was closed again. Just when Shen Li was so anxious that she didn't know how to get in, the courtyard door opened again and the woman inside chased him out with a cloak. "Dalang, please wear your cloak. It's a cold night. Don't catch a cold."

Shen Li took a look and saw that the courtyard door was open and the two people were far apart. She jumped up and went straight into the courtyard. She immediately saw the woman's room. Because the lamp was still on, she was sitting there. Sewing in front of the window, silhouette cast on the paper window, feeling indescribably lonely.The door to her room was not closed, and Shen Li quietly poked her head into the crack of the door. At a glance, she suddenly understood why she felt an inexplicable aura on this woman today.

Behind the woman, a young man in tattered light armor was looking at the mended clothes in her hands. His expression was soft and his eyes were gentle, as if he was looking at the thing he cherished most in the world, but he had no feet. .During the day, the yang energy was strong, and Shen Li could not see his body, but it finally appeared at night.

It actually turned into a spirit body... Shen Li couldn't help but sigh.The woman can no longer find her husband, and there is no need to look for her husband, because the man has never left her.

Shen Li didn't expect that her sigh would cause the lightly armored man to turn his head suddenly, and his black eyes suddenly turned red the moment he saw Shen Li. He opened his mouth, and a gloomy air overflowed from his mouth, which was not given to Shen Li. Li didn't have any time to react before he rushed towards her with a ferocious expression.Shen Li flapped his wings twice in panic. "Stop! Wait..." Before the two crows came out, the spirit passed through her body. The full of Yin energy caused her to stagger and roll several times until she hit the clay pottery in a corner. It stopped on the can.

"Stop! Stop... click..." Shen Li shook her neck.

The man didn't listen to her, he just stared at Shen Li evilly, preparing to attack her again.

Shen Li hurriedly said: "I'm here to help you!" When the man heard this, he was slightly startled, and his face softened slightly.Shen Li took a few breaths and was about to speak when the hostess in the other room was startled by the previous voice. When the door opened, the woman could not see the ghost and only stared at Shen Li strangely. "Where did the hairless chicken come from?" She said and walked towards this side, but before she took two steps, a stone suddenly hit her on the head. The woman's eyes turned white and she fainted to the ground.

Behind her was Xingyun, who was covered in dust. He threw the stone in his hand and said with a hint of helplessness: "Giggle, you are running around and causing trouble again."

Shen Li looked at him blankly: "How did you get in?"

"Climb the wall." He said calmly, stepped forward and took Shen Li into his arms. "There is a curfew at night, didn't you know? Go back."

"Wait a minute!" Shen Li slapped Xingyun in the face with a chicken wing, and the newly grown feathers pricked Xingyun's face in pain, "Didn't you see? There are still things to deal with here!"

Xingyun held her wings. "What's the matter?"

Shen Li gestured: "Can't you see such a big ghost?"

Xingyun frowned slightly: "I only know the secrets of heaven, not a cultivator, and I can't see ghosts."

Shen Li didn't expect this. Xingyun was so mysterious that she mistakenly thought he knew everything.She thought about it for a while and explained to Xingyun: "Today during the day, when the woman came here, I felt a strange aura on her body. It was just that the yang energy was too strong during the day and I didn't notice it. Come with me tonight." It was only when I took a look that I discovered him. It was probably because he was too obsessed with reincarnation after he died in the battle, and finally his soul returned to his hometown, drifted to her side, and has been guarding her until now. "

Shen Li turned to look at him. The man lowered his eyebrows and nodded slightly.

"You know she has been waiting for you and looking for you, right?" Shen Li turned to ask him. The man looked bitterly, looking at the silhouette of the woman on the paper window, and nodded gently. Shen Li asked again, "Do you want Does she know where you are?"

He looked at Shen Li in surprise, with a longing look on his face, as if he was asking her, "Is it okay?"

Shen Li nodded: "Xingyun, go and tell the story."

Xingyun sighed and said: "What a stupid chicken. Do you want me to dance and draw a ghost out? Who would believe the description in words?" He placed Shen Li on the ground, and then placed a few stones around, as if according to what The formations are arranged in order. "Now that you've intervened, let's do the best we can. Just don't regret it after it's done."

Shen Li was silent.After Xingyun set up the formation, he used his finger as a pen and wrote an unknown word in the middle. After stepping away, he said: "Call the ghost. The word is floating on it."

Following his words, the man stopped above the words, and rays of light seemed to pour into the words. The stones arranged in the courtyard lit up one after another. Finally, the rays of light gathered on the man's body, and his body seemed to be bigger than the words. Just now it was more solid and clear, Xingyun said with a smile: "Ke Da, knock on the door and tell her that her husband is back."

Shen Li didn't ask anything, and ran over eagerly and pecked at the wooden door with her sharp beak. After a while, the wooden door opened, and the woman frowned and said, "It's a bit noisy tonight. I haven't finished sewing the clothes for Sanlang yet... ..." After finishing her words, the woman's cloudy eyes were reflected brightly by the light in the courtyard.

She took a step forward in disbelief. "Sanlang..."

The man was also a little at a loss. He didn't dare to move, he just stared at the woman steadily. He didn't even know how to place his hands, sometimes clasping them tightly, and sometimes stretching them out.He opened his mouth but made no sound, but the woman understood what he was saying. He was calling her "wife".This was a title that had not appeared in her ears for fifteen years.

Her cloudy eyes instantly became moist. "You're back... You're back." Her voice was trembling with joy, but a child-like smile appeared on her wrinkled face. She hurriedly took a few steps forward and stepped into the formation, but when she was about to When she touched the man, she stopped dead in her tracks.

She touched her hair and face with trembling hands. "Look at me, I'm not prepared at all. Look at me, I didn't even prepare food for you. I've been waiting for you to come back for so many years..." Her voice choked up uncontrollably, "Where have you been for all these years? ? Do you know how long I have been waiting for you... Do you know that others think I am crazy, even I think I am crazy... I almost... can't wait any longer. I can't ask whether you are alive or dead, and I can't find you. There are no traces, the clothes you sewed have nowhere to send them, the letters you wrote have no one to read them! Where have you been hiding!"

Her tears couldn't stop falling. In the light of the array, time seemed to flow backwards through them, smoothing away her wrinkles and vicissitudes, turning her back into the woman in her prime, while his armor and clothes were as new, and his appearance was as good as new. Old, it seemed that it was the last night she saw off her husband. They were young and there was no separation of life and death for fifteen years.

The man looked sad, and finally couldn't help but raise his hand to touch her face.Xingyun who was standing by silently bit his fingertips and dropped two drops of blood on the stones of the array. The light in the array was even brighter, and the man actually touched the woman's hand. It was supposed to be a ghost's hand!Feeling the real touch, the man suddenly used his arms to hug her.

Shen Li looked at Xingyun in astonishment: "This formation..." This formation connects life and death and goes against the path of heaven. Its power is so powerful.

Xingyun just said lightly: "This formation will not last long. So, if you have anything to say, please finish it with them quickly."

Shen Li was stunned again when she heard this. This person actually saw what she wanted to do...

Today she vaguely guessed that the woman was possessed by a ghost. She thought it was a kid seduced by her obsession, but she didn't expect it to be the husband she was looking for. But people and ghosts have different paths. They have been together for a long time, and it is inevitable that It will affect the woman and shorten her life span.

So, she originally wanted the ghost to leave the woman, but now...

Seeing that Shen Li hadn't moved for a long time, Xingyun just said, "Why don't you leave it to them to decide?" Shen Li was stunned, and Xingyun continued, "Both of them are ordinary people, they don't know the Yin and Yang Dao, let alone the Yin Qi. How much impact it has on people, now that it has reached this point, it is better to tell them the truth and let them decide what to do."

Shen Li opened her mouth, but still didn't make a sound, because she still wanted them to stay for a while, even if it was only for a while.

Xingyun sighed, and suddenly raised his voice: "Humans and ghosts have different paths. As you know, brother, you have been by her side for more than ten years, and her life span has almost expired."

The two people over there were stunned when they heard this. The man turned his head to look at Xingyun in surprise, but the woman tightened her palms and murmured: "You have been with me for more than ten years? You have been with me for more than ten years? You... "She seemed to have just seen the man's clothes and his appearance that had not changed at all. She looked slightly dazed, "Is that so... It turns out that it is so..."

"No matter how hard you stay in the human world, it will not only harm her, but also make you have no place to rest." Xingyun's voice was flat, "Whether you go or stay, of course it all depends on me."

The man turned his head and glanced at the woman. The light in the array dimmed in time, the man's figure disappeared, and the woman's appearance also returned to vicissitudes of life, as if everything just now was just a dream.The woman couldn't find the man, and she looked slightly panicked. But she didn't know that her husband's hand had been touching her cheek...across the insurmountable barrier of life and death.

Finally, the man nodded and he was willing to go.

This result should be good, but Shen Li couldn't feel happy.

Xingyun asked Shen Li: "I can ferry the soul array, but I don't have the magic power to transfer the soul. Can you know the soul-inducing technique?"

"Yes, I will." After the fighting on the battlefield subsided, she was often the one who helped her soldiers return their souls to Wangchuan. Shen Li was very familiar with the soul-inducing technique. "No need to set up an array." Her voice was soft, and she only had this spell. , no matter what the circumstances, she will never fail.Because she used this method to extradite the souls of thousands of brothers. No matter how injured she was, this was the only method that could not fail. "Xingyun, take off your coat."

Xingyun was stunned, and took off his green clothes as he was told, and Shen Li got into the clothes.After a while, golden light came out from the green clothes, and the dazzling light flourished. The moment Xingyun closed his eyes, the people around him had already moved forward.

Her bare feet were loose, and the green robe was too wide for her, but it didn't look dragging on her body. Her back was straight, and she walked forward slowly with a more heroic spirit than a man.

"I use my name to attract the River of Forgetfulness." The words were sonorous. She waved her hand, placed a little between the man's eyebrows, and formed a seal in her hand. The light suddenly became softer, and the man's figure slowly turned into dots of light. Like fireflies on a summer night, they circled around the rickety woman and gradually flew deeper into the night sky.

"Ah...ah..." The woman tremblingly stretched out her hand to hold him, but she couldn't catch anything.

Their mortal connection is long overdue.

The night became silent again, except for the woman looking at the night sky and sobbing with unknown meaning.

"Madam." Shen Li gently held the woman's skinny hand, "He left to make your life better. Do you feel this intention?"

"I feel it..." After a long silence, the woman finally said hoarsely, "How can I not feel it? I heard it... He walked away humming a country song. He wanted me to feel at ease." Her wet tears fell. Taking Shen Li's full hand, Shen Li silently helped her back to the room.

The woman seemed very tired and fell asleep after a while.

Shen Li guarded her for a while, and then walked out of the room. The moment she stepped out of the door, Shen Li felt dizzy. The mana that had not been restored was so squandered, and it was almost exhausted. Her steps were unsteady and she was about to fall. When she fell, Xingyun gently helped her up. Before Shen Li had time to say thank you, she felt her heart tightening and the world suddenly became bigger. She transformed into her original body again. Shen Li was still stunned and listened to Xingyun. He chuckled and picked her up.

"Are you satisfied with the result?"

Shen Li knew that he was asking about the woman and her husband. She was silent for a moment and said: "This result was planted as early as 15 years ago, and the seeds of dissatisfaction were planted." Once a person is gone, no matter what No matter what the result is, it will not be a good result.

Xingyun smiled: "Oh? It seems that you feel deeply about this kind of thing."

"I just went to the battlefield and saw too many lonely souls who died in battle." Shen Li said in a heavy tone, "I don't know whether it is right or wrong to persuade her like this today, and I don't know whether it is good or bad to do this today, but I think, If I have relatives or lovers in the future, and if I die in battle, what I hope most in my heart will be for them to forget about me quickly. Because the past has become an illusion, and only in the future can it be called 'life'."

Xingyun was startled, then smiled and said: "Stupid chicken, only now can we call it 'life'."

Shen Li rubbed her head in his arms, found a comfortable place to put it, and said, "You are right."

"Let's go back."

Xingyun pushed open the courtyard door and walked towards home with Shen Li in his arms.The two of them, who were tired from all the trouble, didn't notice that there was a man in a cloak hiding behind the courtyard door. Seeing the two of them walking away, he walked into the house with trembling legs and knocked him unconscious before Xingyun. The lady in the courtyard helped him up and murmured: "He is really a god, madam! He is really a god!"

White smoke rose from the incense burner in the room. The person sitting behind the sandalwood desk put down his pen and raised his voice slightly: "Is this true?"

The person kneeling below trembled and replied: "Even if you have ten courages, you would not dare to deceive His Highness the Crown Prince! My brother and sister were crazy a few days ago, but they have recovered like normal people in the past two days. The miracle that night This villain also saw it with his own eyes. Even though I was unconscious at the time, the neighbors all saw the light overflowing from my house! And this Tsing Yi... the immortal transformed the chicken he was traveling with into a beauty. It was he who took off the clothes for the beauty to wear. Later, the beauty turned into a chicken again, and the clothes fell to the ground, but he forgot to take them away."

"This is an interesting story." Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Fu Sheng, bring that man to the house and show me what he is capable of."

"Yes."

The days in the small courtyard are as peaceful as ever. The leaves on the grape trellis slowly grow denser, blocking out the increasingly intense sunlight as summer approaches.Xingyun was lying in the courtyard to rest. Suddenly, the rocking chair was bumped. Xingyun opened his eyes and glanced at the chicken rolling on the ground.

"Ah! Why can't you change back?!" Shen Li was covered in dirt and yelled angrily, "It was obviously successful that night! My mana has almost recovered in the past two days, why can't I change back!" "

Xingyun's eyebrows slightly curved, and after a while he calmly said: "Stop screaming." He glanced at the cloth that was pulled to the ground by Shen Li, "Get under the clothes and change, if you just turn into a human body like this , that's not good." After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered Shen Li's back standing upright in the light of that day, and felt a little lost for a moment.

After hearing Xingyun's words, Shen Li stood up and looked at him: "The formation you set up that day looked very powerful. Why don't you try setting up an formation for me that can condense the essence of the sun and the moon?"

"The formation you mentioned is already here." Xingyun said with a smile, "You have been here for so many days, but you don't feel anything at all?"

Shen Li was stunned for a moment and looked around, and then realized that the placement of stones and planting of plants in the backyard did follow certain rules. It was just that they had been placed there for many years, and grass had grown in many places, making it difficult to see the boundaries. , and this confused Shen Li.She suddenly realized that it was no wonder that her physical strength recovered so quickly here. It turned out to be thanks to the formation here.

"Xingyun, you are becoming more and more elusive to me." Shen Li looked around the small courtyard carefully, squatted in front of Xingyun, and said, "A mortal can calculate destiny and understand so many things. You have a strange formation, but you have no magic power and no spells. Who are you?"

Xingyun replied with a smile: "Good man."

"I think he is a weirdo." Shen Li said, "He has a weird temper and weird behavior. Look at me, I look like this." Shen Li spun around on the ground. "You are hairless, can talk, and can turn into a human. You are neither curious nor afraid, and you still keep me at home... Could it be that you have figured out something?"

"Didn't I say it before? Divination and fortune-telling are not a good skill, and I don't like to do these things. I don't ask you just because I don't want to ask. Destiny meets, fate disappears, and it is useless to ask. You and I only need to know that there is nothing for each other. It’s okay to do harm.”

Shen Li was stunned for a moment after hearing these words. Finally, she said seriously: "You must be an unlucky disciple of some bald donkey in the sky who came down to earth to experience the tribulation."

Xingyun was startled, only looked at Shen Li, smiled with squinted eyes, and said nothing.

Until noon, he silently ate all the bacon given by others, even though Shen Li was scratching at the legs of the table for a long time without giving her any look.

After eating and wiping everything, he carried Shen Li to the table, leaving her looking at the empty plate with only two drops of oil left in shock. He burped at her with satisfaction and said with a smile: "I just want to prove that Wait. I am not some unlucky disciple under the Bald Donkey who came down to earth to experience calamity. I have no other meaning." After saying that, he removed the plate with two drops of oil left, leaving Shen Li alone on the table flapping her wings and kicking her paws. Get angry.

"Spit it out! Spit it out! You bastard!"

Walking to the front yard, Xingyun suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. He answered, took a plate and went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, three men in brocade clothes and swords stood outside the door. It looked like they were actually Like a bodyguard in a high-ranking official's home.The leader's collar is red, and the two people next to him are both green. They looked at Xingyun solemnly, and the red-collared guard said: "This young master, my master has invited me."

"You must have found the wrong person." Xingyun chuckled and replied. As soon as he stepped back, the people on both sides pulled Xingyun's arms involuntarily. Xingyun didn't notice, and the plate in his hand fell. On the ground, completely shattered.

The red-collared guard didn't even look at him, he just said: "Whether we have found the wrong person or not, we have to decide for ourselves. Master, please go ahead."

Xingyun narrowed his eyes and the curve of his lips dropped slightly: "I don't like others forcing me..." Before Xingyun could finish his words, the red-collared guard punched Xingyun in the stomach. He was beaten straight to the point of bending his waist. He was in so much pain that he couldn't straighten up for a long time.

Before Xingyun could cough twice, the man said, "I don't like people talking nonsense to me all the time." His eyes were contemptuous: "Take them away." The other two people followed their words and did not care about Xingyun's injury. Whatever happens, drag him away.

Xingyun bent over, and the moment he was taken out of the hospital, he gently kicked a stone on the ground as if unintentionally, causing the stone to turn over.But a moment later, a golden light flashed in the room.The three men in brocade uniforms stopped for a moment before hearing a woman whisper: "Beat him and spit him out before dragging him away!"

Hearing this, Xingyun actually laughed in a low voice even though he was being held up.

"Who is it?" The red-collared guard stepped into the courtyard and saw a woman wearing a dirty cloth. She tore off a strip of cloth from somewhere, tied her hair up high, and left. come out.

Although Shen Li said that, when she saw that Xingyun had been beaten so hard that she couldn't straighten up, she frowned and stared at the red-collared guard: "Where did you come from to bully others, how dare you provoke me... Right under my nose. Are you tired of living, or do you want to die?"

Shen Li, the guardian of shortcomings, is well-known in the demon world. If the soldiers she leads make mistakes, she has her own way to deal with them. The punishment will be severe, even losing half of her life.But her soldiers cannot be punished by others. She can't even curse them. To put it nicely, it means she loves her soldiers like children. To put it more truthfully, it means good face. It belongs to her King Bi Cang, whether it is a person or a thing, so why let others do it? Bullied.

The red-collared guard frowned: "The girl has such a loud voice." He looked at Shen Li up and down, and saw that although she was dressed in a mess, her eyes were very intimidating. There were too many people crouching tigers, hidden dragons in the capital, and he After careful consideration, he took off the waistband. The golden waistband was very dazzling under the sunlight. "On the order of the Crown Prince, we have come to invite the young master to come to the mansion to have a talk. I hope the girl will know more about it..."

"Informed?"

Shen Li tied up her hair and walked to the red-collared guards like a ghost. She didn't have strong magic power now, but she knew her martial arts skills by heart, and she was more than enough to deal with these mortals.Before the red-collared guard could react, Shen Li snatched the badge in his hand. She broke it with both hands, and there was a crisp sound, and two pieces of scrap metal were thrown at the feet of the red-collared guard. "Teach me how to write these two characters."

The red-collared guard's pupils shrank, and before he could react, he felt the world spinning and a sharp pain in the back of his head. His eyes were dark for an unknown length of time. When he reacted again, he had been thrown outside the door along with the other two green-collared guards.

Shen Li glanced sideways at the three of them with a look of utmost contempt. "If you want to see anyone under my command, whether it is the crown prince, son, grandson, or some other heavenly king, please let him come over here."

The door was closed, and the three guards stood up and supported each other. They looked at each other. Just as they were silent, two objects suddenly flew out of the courtyard wall and plunged into the ground in front of the three of them like arrows. They were submerged by more than an inch. , the three of them took a closer look and saw that it was the waist badge of the red-collared guard.

After a period of silence, silence returned to Xingyun's door.

"When did I become your subordinate?" Xingyun held his stomach and stood bent over, staring at Shen Li with a half-smile.

Shen Li ignored him and stared at him coldly for a while, then pointed at the moved stone at the door and asked him, "What is that?"

"Stone."

"Do you still want to be beaten?"

"Okay, that's actually the stone pressing on the formation."

"Why put a rock there?"

"In order to suppress the power of the formation."

"Why suppress?"

Xingyun glanced at her, hesitated for a long time and finally said: "This was put up the second night after I brought you back, otherwise it would be too inconvenient for you to move around after you transform back into a human body, and it would be inconvenient for you to tease... Of course, The difference between men and women is the most important reason why I put this stone. After all, it is not good for you and me to be alone in the same room."

"That is to say, on the third day after you brought me back, I could already turn into a human..." At that time...at that time, ah, by the way, that morning, he was seeing off the commoner girl, so according to him "When I ran out that day, I could have turned into a human being, and I wouldn't have been chased around the streets like a plucked chicken by those mortals."

She could have been less embarrassed...

"Well, that's probably what happened." Xingyun paused and sighed helplessly, "You have seen through another secret. I'm so sad."

Difficult...sad?He actually had the nerve to say he was sad!She is the one who should be sad, okay!
Does this guy know how much damage her dignity has been caused by the rock he moved? !No... this guy must know it. He must still be watching her jokes in the dark to see how hard she can struggle!
Shen Li's murderous intention surged, and his whole body twitched with hatred. "Not killing you is not enough to satisfy the hatred in my heart."
