fairy wife

Qiuqiu took the opportunity to sweep the queen's room, including the medicines the queen took, the books she usually read, and the places where things might be hidden in the bedroom. She didn't let go of them, and picked out all the suspicious things. .For example, medicines that can be imported.

During this process, Huo'er helped her a lot—or this little guy simply fished in troubled waters, with no big moves, but small moves.Sometimes Qiuqiu checked a bunch of things, and when she went to the next batch, she always felt something was wrong.Looking back, the pile of things didn't seem to have changed much.Looking at Huo'er again, this guy shook his head and tail at her innocently.

People at this time don't know the word "cute", Qiuqiu thought, but some people know the word "cute" without a teacher.

But doesn't Huo'er know a word?If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal.It's fine, so why keep trying to show her cuteness?This is so obvious that it is covering up a guilty conscience and whitewashing the peace!

After all, Huo'er is still not deep enough.

Just like a three-year-old and five-year-old child, if you are afraid that he will steal something, he will show you his palm: look, I didn’t steal it.But the corner of the mouth is still stained with rice grains, if you want to pretend, you should wipe your mouth clean, right?

But for the sake of Huo'er's meritorious service just now, Qiuqiu can't seriously argue with it.Raising a spiritual pet is really like raising a child, sometimes you need to turn a blind eye.Let's not talk about it, just understand them, when Qiuqiu first adopted them as spiritual pets, they secretly went to the medicine garden of the master and sister to eat them, sometimes Qiuqiu could only pretend not to see them.

There is no big gain.Qiuqiu just took a few pills from several pill bottles to see the properties of the medicine. It is true that there is something wrong with one medicine, but it is not a big problem-although the queen has lost her husband, Qiuqiu has witnessed with her own eyes that she has a lover. Yes, it's normal to have some kind of booster medicine.

But Huo'er brought Qiuqiu a small box from the corner of the queen's dark room.

"What is this?"

Qiuqiu picked up the box and looked at it. It was a copper box, but it was one palm long and half a palm wide, so it didn't look unusual.There is a lock on the box.

Qiuqiu glanced at Huo'er.Huo'er pushed the box with his head again.

"You want what's in there?"

Qiuqiu felt that it wanted her to help open the box.

Although there is a lock on it, it is not difficult for Qiuqiu.

She touched the small lock, hooked her fingernails on the lock and pulled it lightly, and the lock popped open with a click.

To Qiuqiu's surprise, there was still a box inside the box.

This box is smaller than the one outside, and there is not even a single gap on it.Even if I want to open it, I can't find a place to start.

"What is this?"

Qiuqiu became wary, and put a layer of enchantment on the box in a hurry.

She seemed to be talking to herself, even if Huo'er knew what was inside, she couldn't tell her.

There are many pearls and treasures here in the Queen's place, but none of them are so tightly packed and weird like this one.

If it is something very important.But why put it aside casually?If it's something unimportant, how can it be so tight?

such a box.It is definitely not something that ordinary craftsmen can do, it must be that kind of ingenious skill, only a craftsman at the master level has such a skill.

The box wasn't heavy. Qiuqiu used her spiritual power to check it out. The contents inside should not be metal, but no matter how much it was, it wouldn't be revealed.

Of course, there is another way, which is to split the box directly with a sword.

But doing so is risky.Generally, the box with this mechanism.It's all about pretending to be something secret that can be known.Violent demolition, it is very likely that the mechanism inside the box will destroy the thing.Make people busy in vain.

After Qiuqiu tried and couldn't open the box, she simply put it away.

The incense burned in the hall may have a calming effect. The heat of the charcoal fire smoked the incense, and the doors and windows were closed, making people feel suffocated.

Huo'er also seemed a little impatient.

"Bored and panicked? Then let's go outside to get some air."

Qiuqiu took the fire and sat on the roof of the palace, the night wind blowing on her face dispelled all the boredom just now.There was a choking smell of gunpowder smoke in the wind, and the flashes of fire could be vaguely seen from time to time in the capital.

There was no moon in the sky, and the clouds were heavy.

Huo'er turned his head to the east and didn't move for a long time, as if he was in a daze.

"what happened?"

It was pitch black at night, and Qiuqiu couldn't see anything.

Huo'er's golden eyes shone slightly, looking like two small lanterns in the dark.

It suddenly jumped out.

Qiuqiu was slightly surprised and stood up.

Huo'er seemed to have a clear goal, and jumped straight forward, moving fast on the roof of the imperial palace.

Is it going to find it?

From the time Huo'er came out of its shell until now, Qiuqiu has never seen it so attached to one thing or one thing.

Huo'er had jumped out of the palace wall in front of him.

Qiuqiu turned her head and took a look, a little undecided.

What exactly is Huo'er going to do?It has never been to the capital, what attracts it so much in the capital?

After a little hesitation, Qiuqiu immediately made up her mind. She put in the signal with a flick of her finger, and a ray of light that ordinary people's eyes could not catch quickly rose into the sky, bursting out a cluster of silver stars.

Only a few breaths apart, a ray of light rose not far away.

Since the queen still had someone to take care of her, Qiuqiu felt relieved and followed Huo'er.

Huo'er's body was crystal clear with reddish light, drawing a meandering arc of light in the dark night.

Qiuqiu followed behind it, not only leaving the palace, but also passing through most of the capital.

In the blink of an eye, Huo'er arrived at the wall of the outer city of the capital, without any hesitation, he leaped and lightly crossed the tower.

Huo'er kept moving forward until it stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Qiuqiu stopped and looked up.

This place is already hundreds of miles away from the capital.

This mountain is to the east of the capital.It was called Washan Mountain in the previous dynasty, but after a change of dynasty, many places were renamed by the new dynasty. This Washan Mountain was also renamed Shanye Mountain, and a Buddhist temple, Yongping Temple, was built on the mountain.Qiuqiu also met an old Zen master in Yongping Temple two days ago.

Because there is a Buddhist temple on this mountain, the imperial court has banned people from shooting, cutting, and collecting soil on this mountain for so many years.The mountain is thus densely forested.Birds and beasts live very freely.

Huo'er stopped, as if waiting for Qiuqiu to approach.

Qiuqiu stretched out her hand towards it, and Huo'er jumped onto her palm.

"Why are you here?"

Huo'er's eyes revealed an anxious and pleading look.

Qiuqiu felt her heart tighten.

Huo'er, the little guy, has been fearless since he came out of the shell, even daring to act presumptuously towards Shi'er, his master. Qiuqiu has never seen him show such an expression.

"Don't worry, what do you want to do?"

Huo'er turned his head to look at the top of the mountain.

"You want to go up the mountain?"

Huo'er nodded vigorously.

Qiuqiu comforted it: "Then I will accompany you."

If Huo'er wants to go up the mountain.You don't have to wait for Qiuqiu to go up the mountain by yourself.

To make it stop, there must be something it has scruples about.

Qiuqiu could vaguely feel that there was indeed something on this mountain.

With the smell of blood, and something else...

It makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Qiuqiu calmed down, suppressed the boredom in her chest, and continued walking forward.

She already knew what Huo'er was looking for.

It must be the existence that made her feel very uncomfortable.

What kind of thing is this?

The closer you get.That feeling of irritability is more obvious.

That kind of thing carries a strong sense of destruction.It's like closing your eyes.This boundless darkness will pour down on her like an avalanche, completely burying her.It was hopelessness without a trace of life.

What is there on this mountain?

Suddenly something shot silently and swiftly in the darkness, Qiuqiu's footsteps stopped, and the blue light of the Lishui sword shot out like water droplets, cutting the hidden arrow in two.

More featherless arrows shot out from the darkness, and hit the Lishui sword one after another, the clanging sound was like a shower.

Qiuqiu picked up a small dark arrow.

Not Iron Arrow.The arrowheads are made of black wood with poison on them.If an ordinary person is scratched a little, the skin will see blood.Will die immediately.

Who is laying the formation here?

But it looks like it's just to prevent ordinary people, these things are of little use to cultivators.

Qiuqiu tripped over something, she stopped and looked down.

It was a corpse.

Wearing a monk's robe, there are ring scars on his bald head.

It's a monk.

Qiuqiu turned her head and glanced in the direction of the front mountain.

Is it a monk from Yongping Temple?

It seemed that he had been dead for quite a while. Why didn't the old Zen master of Yongping Temple mention the death in the temple when he met them that day?Was it because he didn't know, or did he feel that he didn't want to bother them with such a trivial matter?

What if neither of the above two reasons?

Qiuqiu bypassed the corpse on the ground, and continued walking forward.

The terrain here is not high, and it is located in the depression where the foothills meet behind the front mountain.

After shooting in the dark for a while, they became scattered.

There are two traps underground, which were also bypassed by Qiuqiu.

There is a high platform piled with rubble in front.

Qiuqiu looked up, she had arrived.

Suddenly, a black shadow shot out from behind the stone platform, and rushed towards Qiuqiu with a sword.

Qiuqiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the Lishui sword spun an arc of light, avoiding the man's vitals in the room, and landed a heavy blow on the back of the man's waist and neck.

The man was stunned and fell out without making a sound.

A few more people pounced out of the darkness one after another, these obstructions were not troublesome at all for Qiuqiu.

A man came out from behind the high platform. He looked very old, his waist was already bent and he couldn't straighten up. He coughed from time to time, and stood there quietly looking at Qiuqiu.
