Green scales

Chapter 21 Plan

The hall fell silent, Liu Shu turned his head to look at Xia Xinglan thoughtfully, but did not answer.

After thinking for a moment, Pei Yun nodded slightly, and agreed, "I think this method is feasible."

Liu Shu didn't change his face, and said calmly: "Since Mr. Pei has spoken, then I must obey." After speaking, he put away his sword, turned around, and sat back again.

Yuqin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, his face calmed down, Xia Xinglan looked at Yuqin with a complicated expression, and turned his head after a long time, Yuqin opened his mouth, but was momentarily speechless, and drooped his head a little dejectedly.

What can I say now?The more explanations, the darker the description.The two were sitting next to each other, but Yuqin felt that there was an invisible layer of tulle between them, and they couldn't see each other clearly.

From Xia Xinglan's point of view, humans and demons are inherently incompatible, and there is an insurmountable gap between the two races. It was he who went his own way and deceived Xia Xinglan, but Yuqin did not regret it.The age of just a few years is better than the hundred years he wasted.

It's a pity... Yuqin sighed insignificantly, looking a little depressed.

Since Pei Yun nodded and Xia Xinglan and Liu Shu did not object, the matter was considered finalized.

Kong Qi put the black cloth on the cage again, and a faint cry came from the cage during the movement, Kong Qi was unmoved, and just as he was about to turn around and leave with the iron cage in his hand, Lian Ge suddenly said: "Wait a minute, this Since the fox is so important, then you have to find a safe place, you come with me."

Kong Qi glanced at Pei Yun, Pei Yun nodded slightly, and Kong Qi lifted his robe and followed Lian Ge to leave from the side door.

As soon as Kong Qi left, the hall became quiet again.Pei Yun glanced at the trembling people in the corner, sighed and said: "Pass my order, all the maids in the mansion go back, and call them back after the work is over, you can leave now, or leave tomorrow morning , take care of yourself."

The maids were overjoyed when they heard the words, and rushed forward to salute Pei Yun respectfully. Pei Yun waved his hand, and the maids looked at each other, and finally went out the door together.

As soon as the maids left, only a bunch of guards were left looking at each other. The guards were all young men in their twenties. Although they wouldn't be scared to shit, they didn't want to take any risks. They all looked at Pei Yun expectantly. I hope that Pei Yun will also issue a "Guest Exit Order" for them.

Seeing this, Pei Yun looked at Liu Shu hesitantly and said, "What should Taoist priest do next?"

Liu Shu lazily stretched his limbs, and said casually: "Of course the formation is re-arranged, but this time I want to arrange the formation of seven kills, do you have any objections, brother?"

Xia Xinglan pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Seeing this, Liu Shu grinned, turned to Pei Yun and said, "This time, just in case, the entire mansion must be included in the formation. It is not too late. We will start to arrange it tonight, but this formation It’s huge, it’s difficult for only four people to complete it, so let’s ask these big guards to stay and help.”

There was nothing wrong with Pei Yun, and he looked at the guards standing aside. The guards couldn't say anything about their suffering, so they could only accept it with a sigh.

Now that the plan was agreed upon, everyone set off to set up the seven-kill array.

Liu Shu got up first and walked in front, and walked slowly to her room, followed by everyone.

When Yuqin got up, he realized that he had just sat motionless for a long time, and half of his body was a little stiff and numb. The moment he stood up, his figure suddenly became unstable and he staggered. He thought Xia Xinglan would help him quickly, but Xia Xinglan was only polite. And raised his hand to hold his arm distantly, and then left without looking back, leaving Yuqin standing there alone in a daze.

Xia Xinglan had never treated him like this before, and Yuqin was a little dazed for a while, even in Biboxuan, when the two of them had not settled down, Xia Xinglan was always considerate, why did he treat him as nothing like now?

It was getting late, the moon and stars were thin, the night wind was mixed with a smell of blood, it was pitch black outside the door, only the dim and flickering candle shadows in the main hall slightly illuminated the open space at the door.

Yuqin was suffocated for no reason, and stood stubbornly, staring at the door motionless.

Maybe?Maybe Xia Xinglan will come back, he obviously likes him so much, how could he just leave without caring?

Yuqin murmured in a low voice, her eyes fixed on the night outside the door, expecting the familiar figure to return.

Until the candle in the hall "cracked", the wick burst open and went out.The room was half dark immediately, Yuqin kept the sound of breathing to the minimum, and heard the wind outside the door, the rustling of leaves, and the chirping of insects, but there was no sound of footsteps, let alone Xia Xinglan's figure.

After a while, the candle shadows projected on the surrounding walls frantically swayed and gradually dimmed until the last bit of light was extinguished.

Yuqin was isolated in a main hall, and the cold moonlight shone in.There was a faint sigh in the darkness, and then Yuqin moved slowly and walked out with his head down.

Yuqin walked slowly, surrounded by silence, the clouds scattered and the moon appeared, and a figure was reflected in front of him.

Yuqin raised her head abruptly, and saw Xia Xinglan folded her arms, leaning back on the red pillar not far from the main hall, at the corner.

"I..." Yuqin felt at a loss for some reason, "I just..."

Before the words finished, Xia Xinglan simply responded and turned to leave. Yuqin didn't bother to explain, and hurriedly followed, like a child who had done something wrong, followed behind Xia Xinglan anxiously, keeping an arm in his arms. distance.

Yuqin just followed Xia Xinglan in silence, until she heard the slight sound of water flowing, she realized that she was almost reaching the bedroom, and she was a little nervous for a while.

Xia Xinglan stood at the door of the bedroom, but did not open the door. After pondering for a long time, she took the lead in breaking the stalemate and said slowly, "Yuqin."

Yuqin was startled, and hurriedly responded.

There was another silence.Yuqin had never been so nervous before, as if Xia Xinglan's words could control his life and death.

"I know you just want to live an ordinary life, and I also promise not to set foot in the world after this incident." Xia Xinglan thought for a while, and continued, "But Xiaofu's revenge must be avenged, and the situation is unclear now, so I don't want you to do it again." meddling."

Yuqin knew that Xia Xinglan objected to it because he meddled in Hu Jiulang's affairs, but how could he sit idly by?Yuqin lowered her head, but she couldn't utter a single syllable between her lips. After a while, Yuqin nodded very slowly and responded softly.

Xia Xinglan turned around and saw Yuqin with her head bowed, her face covered by waterfall-like black hair, her already slim figure seemed to have lost a lot of weight, her clothes were a little empty, and her fair skin looked like a piece of beautiful jade under the moonlight Generally flawless.

Xia Xinglan was silent for a moment, stepped forward to hug Yuqin gently, and felt that the person in her arms was trembling slightly, her heart tightened for a moment, the two hugged each other in silence for a moment, then Xia Xinglan turned and left to look for Liu Shu and the others. Yuqin was left alone at the door.

At the corner, a tall and thin figure walked slowly, Yu Qin didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "How is it?"

Lian Ge came quickly, and said in a calm manner: "It's in the secret room. I secretly gave him medicine, and his life can be saved."

"Is the secret room safe?"

Lian Ge smiled and said, "It's only one night anyway, isn't it?"

Yu Qin turned his head, and Lian Ge looked at her without hesitation.Shaoqing, Yuqin's lips slightly raised, "That's how you know me? Know that I will definitely save him?"

"As a subordinate, you have to figure out the mind of the superior. Besides, I have been your subordinate for hundreds of years, haven't I?" Lian Ge smiled.

Yuqin snorted softly, and instead of pushing open the door, she turned around and walked towards Lian Ge. Lian Ge raised his eyebrows when he saw this, with an expression that really did.

"Let's go." Yuqin said lightly, and walked out quickly, with Liange following behind him calmly.

The moonlight shone on the ground, and the whole Pei Mansion seemed to be covered with a layer of silver ash. The shadows of the trees fell, and at the corner, the two of them turned into two beams of light and disappeared, one after the other.

Like all senior officials in the court, Pei Yun's study also has a secret room, but Pei Yun has always been upright and upright, and rarely has anything to hide. Over time, the secret room was used by Lian Ge to store some treasures and turned into a storage room up.

Lian Ge brought Yuqin to the study room, pressed the switch, and a secret door appeared in front of the two of them.Yuqin glanced sideways at the door, listened quietly for a while and saw nothing unusual, then followed Lian Ge into the secret room.

Lian Ge raised his fingertips and waved lightly, streaks of red light flew out, splitting into two and lighting up the candlesticks on both sides, and instantly the whole secret room was lit up.

Yuqin stepped into the secret room. The room was extremely tidy, as if someone cleaned it frequently. There were some wooden boxes piled up on both sides, layer by layer.The middle was cleared out, and now there was an iron cage, which was tightly covered by a black cloth.

Hu Jiulang seemed to have sensed something, a weak cry came from the cage, Lian Ge stepped forward to uncover the black cloth, Yuqin pursed her lips.

The black cloth was lifted, and the dazzling light illuminated the iron cage in an instant. The red fox raised its front paws to block its eyes, then slowly turned its head. After seeing the person clearly, its dark eyes widened suddenly, and its ears moved slightly. The tail couldn't help shaking.

Yuqin took a few steps forward, and Liange backed away tactfully.The wound on the red fox's body has stopped bleeding, but the hair is still stained with dried blood.

The red fox raised its head, its black pearl-like pupils looked straight at Yuqin, Yuqin squatted down slowly, and whispered with his lips parting, "What's going on?"

The red fox lowered its head, pulled its ears down, and looked very guilty. It raised its front paw and drew a "formation" on the ground, drew an arrow, and wrote the word "willow".

"Is it Liu Shu's formation?"

The red fox nodded, then shook his head again.Yuqin frowned in confusion, and when he was about to ask more questions, the red fox's ears moved suddenly, and he turned his head keenly to look behind Yuqin.

"Hey, I wanted to catch a demon." Liu Shu's casual voice suddenly sounded, "Why do you wait for the rabbit, and wait for the two of you? This is really a strange thing, what do you think?"

Yuqin froze all over, turned her head slowly, and saw a flash of surprise on Lian Ge's face.

Outside the secret room, Pei Yun, Kong Qi, Liu Shu and Xia Xinglan all looked inside.

"Ma'am? Why are you here?" Pei Yun was shocked.

Lian Ge quickly calmed down and said, "I asked Mr. Yu to accompany me. You guys are going to set up the formation. I was worried that someone would come to rob the fox, so I wanted to watch it here. But I was afraid, so I called out Went with Young Master Yu."

Yuqin only felt a "buzz" in his head, and all the sounds around him faded away in an instant, and only the man standing at the door was in his eyes.

Xia Xinglan also showed surprise, and looked at Yuqin for a long time.

Suddenly, Yuqin's hand holding the iron cage hurt and exclaimed, and saw the red fox suddenly became ruthless, biting Yuqin's fingertips tightly, and grunting threateningly from his throat, dazzling Blood dripped from his fingertips.

Xia Xinglan was startled, and in the blink of an eye, she was beside Yuqin. She threw out the charm with her backhand and attached it to the iron cage. The golden light suddenly shone, and the red fox let out its mouth and slammed to the side with a mournful cry.

Yuqin looked at the faint red fox in the eye cage with a complicated expression. Xia Xinglan didn't care about the fox, and quickly took Yuqin into his arms, and carefully checked his injured arm. He saw that the injury was not deep, and there was nothing wrong with it. Signs of poisoning before reassuring.

"Xinglan...I..." Yuqin moved her lips in embarrassment, before she finished speaking, Xia Xinglan grabbed her arm and walked out without any doubt.

Seeing Xia Xinglan's serious face, Yuqin was a little apprehensive for a while, and just agreed to Xia Xinglan not to intervene, but now he was caught again, and had to be dragged to stumble after Xia Xinglan.

Yuqin knew that this was no coincidence, she already knew who did it, but she didn't dare to identify it in front of everyone, so she could only hold back her anger.

Xia Xinglan didn't intend to stop, she dragged Yuqin and walked straight out, leaving without saying hello to anyone.

When passing by Liu Shu's side, Yuqin tilted his head slightly, and hit Liu Shu's eyes. Liu Shu just folded his arms and watched from the wall. When he saw Yuqin looking at him, he smiled and opened his lips. Said silently:

"Good luck."

Yuqin's eyes turned cold, she didn't say anything, and followed Xia Xinglan out of the study.

Along the way, Xia Xinglan dragged Yuqin's hand and walked ahead without saying a word. Yuqin knew that he was so angry that he didn't dare to speak, so he could only let him drag him all the way back to the bedroom.

Hu Jiulang didn't bite the ground deeply, and he was just making a show in front of everyone, otherwise he would be really hard to argue with if people saw him getting so close to a "demon fox".

When he got to the bedroom, the wound was no longer bleeding, Xia Xinglan still washed him with a gloomy expression, and then applied medicine to bandage him.Although his face is not very good-looking, his movements are still gentle.

After the wound was healed, Xia Xinglan went to sort out the talisman paper red thread in the bag again without saying a word.

Yuqin sat and hesitated for a moment, then got up and walked behind Xia Xinglan to hug him, Xia Xinglan paused, and then continued to do her own thing.

Yuqin's heart was sour, she tightened her arms, pressed her cheek against Xia Xinglan's broad and solid back, and whispered in a flattering tone: "Don't be angry, just this one time, I won't care about it from now on."

Xia Xinglan was silent for a moment, then turned around and opened the arms around her waist. Yuqin's heart was suffocated, and her head hung down in frustration, like a puppy about to be discarded by its owner.

Then a powerful force struck, Yuqin exclaimed, and the whole person was dragged backwards and down on the bed.A tall and fiery body pressed straight up, Yuqin couldn't catch his breath and was suffocated again, subconsciously raised his hand to push.

Xia Xinglan, however, bit the soft lips of the upper body and the lower body fiercely with a domineering attitude that could not be rejected. Yuqin exclaimed in pain and struggled, but Xia Xinglan restrained Yuqin's hands and kissed them.

Different from the gentleness of spring breeze and drizzle before, this kiss was filled with endless anger. In terms of tenderness, it was more like punishment.

A smell of rust filled the mouths of both parties. After Yuqin realized it, he stopped struggling and just quietly let Xia Xinglan vent, as if he was paying for his previous mistakes.

The moon is on the branches, and the night is getting darker.There was a collision sound from inside the house mixed with barely audible panting, which was magnified several times in the dark night.On the old tree outside the bedroom, a black crow tilted its head and flapped its wings to fly to the sky.

Thousands of miles away, Bone Mountain.

A man in black robe walked briskly up the mountain along the path. With a sound of "quack" a crow flew from afar and landed on the shoulder of the man in black robe. The man raised his hand to stroke the bird's back and pulled out a Crow feather, throw it in front of you.

The crow feather floated in mid-air, and immediately with it as the center, a wave of spiritual power rippled like water ripples, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, and the man in black calmly stepped into the center of the vortex.

In an empty and dilapidated old palace, a man in black robe slowly walked in, the sound of footsteps could be clearly heard, surrounded by ruined walls, covered with moss, no longer the glory of the past.

"What's the matter?" On the dilapidated throne at the end of the palace, a stalwart figure sat on it, dressed in a red robe rolled with gold trim, the sleeves of the robe moved automatically without wind, and looked closely as if there were flames flowing.Show off the acquaintance's chest and neat abs.Only the face is hidden in the darkness and it is difficult to distinguish.

The man in black robe walked slowly under the throne, looked up at the man on the throne, and said, "It went smoother than expected."

"Where's Situ Ling?"

"In the Temple of Ten Thousand Monsters."

"You know how to do it." The person on the throne suddenly coughed, his breathing was unsteady, and his throat made a ho-ho sound like a broken bellows.

"My lord, your injury is serious again." The black-robed man said without hesitation.

"Situ Ling's poison, there is no cure in the world. My inner alchemy has been eroded... I can only take Qingyu's inner alchemy and replace it." The man lowered his voice, with one hand hanging beside the throne.Under the cold and bright moonlight, the sleeve robe on the man's left arm was empty, revealing a skeleton hand in the sleeve.

"Hurry up, bring me his inner alchemy immediately!"

The black-robed man said leisurely: "I know, it's only been a few days, and Situ Ling hasn't noticed any abnormalities yet. I will rush to fetch the inner alchemy for you before him. Everything has been arranged properly."

"Go, I can't wait any longer." The man waved his hand, and the dense white bones creaked.

When Yuqin woke up with sore body, Xia Xinglan had disappeared, and the sky was brightened.

Its daybreak.

Yuqin sat up and rubbed her sore waist, her whole body was covered with traces of ambiguity.

"Some people were very nourished last night, while others were sleepless." Lian Ge stood outside the window with a smile, put his hands on the window frame, and whistled again when he saw the marks on Yuqin's body.

Yuqin didn't bother to pay attention to him, and gathered up his clothes to cover up the traces.He got up and went to the table to pour a cup of tea, and drank it on his own.

Seeing that Yuqin didn't answer, Lian Ge was a little bored, so he stopped his teasing tone and said, "The one in the cage, can you do anything?"

Yuqin pondered for a moment while holding the teacup, walked to the window and looked at Lian Ge and nodded slowly.

"any solution?"

"Substitute." Yuqin said, "You take my scales and replace Hu Jiulang. My scales have nearly a hundred years of my cultivation, which is enough to pretend to be Hu Jiulang and deceive Liu Shu and the others."

Lian Ge heard the words neither agreeing nor refusing, but just looked up and down and said, "Are you willing? Compared with the past, why is your cultivation not advancing but retreating? This is not like what a big demon should have." cultivation base."

Yuqin didn't reply, the green light reappeared when his wrist was turned, and a radiant green lin suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.Yuqin didn't even look at it, and threw Qinglin to Liange casually.

"Hurry up, they should be forming an formation now, take this opportunity to release Hu Jiulang, and let him run as far away as possible."

"I can't figure it out, but it's just a mixed-haired fox. It's worth your troubles over and over again for your lover?"

"I don't like being in debt."

Lian Ge raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and threw Qing Lin up before catching him.Turn around and dissipate into light spots.
