Crying and being sad is the easiest thing to do.
Perhaps it was because she hadn't slept well for two consecutive days and was too stressed out after crying so much that the princess of Yueqiang Kingdom fell asleep while crying.
Even after I fell asleep, tears were still streaming down my face, wondering if I had dreamed of something sad in my sleep.
The night became darker in the second half of the night, and there was silence in the palace. Even the guards and maids guarding the door dozed off from time to time, and it was quiet for a while.
In this kind of silence, people are most likely to feel trapped.
Riding a camel on the rolling desert consumes a lot of physical energy. Kulijiang, a bearded man, rode for two days and nights without sleeping. Even as strong as he was, he could not bear the exertion. What's more, the tense night vigil was even more exhausting. Several disturbances made his tense nerves more exhausted, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier. Originally, he just wanted to squint for a while, but instead I also fell asleep without realizing it.
Jin'an remained motionless as a pine tree, relaxed and sat on the stool in front of the table, closed his eyes and meditated. The internal energy in the temple of the five internal organs in the body circulated over and over again, giving birth to a steady stream of vitality and providing the internal organs with life essence. Quickly restore physical strength.
In this relaxed state, the quiet surroundings made his six senses sharper, and he could not hide any disturbance in the room.
He heard the princess and Kulijiang's breathing gradually calming down, and knew that the two were asleep, but did not wake them up.
The night became darker.
call--
At night in the desert, the wind and sand blew loudly, and the gauze curtain used to block the desert wind and sand on the balcony of the pavilion was blown loudly. The two gauze curtains fluttering in the night wind seemed to be hiding people behind, clawing and struggling. .
Kulijiang was very vigilant. Even if he accidentally fell asleep, he still did not relax his vigilance to the outside world. He suddenly woke up and subconsciously grabbed the scimitar on the table.
When he found that the movement came from those gauze curtains, he was just too nervous. After he relaxed, his eyes showed deep fatigue.
He turned around and found that Jin An was also asleep beside him. All three people in the room were asleep.
Kulijiang shouted softly: "Taoist Master Jin'an?"
"Huh?" Jin An closed his eyes, his eyes were clear and shining brightly. Kulijiang looked ashamed. It turned out that Taoist Jin An was not asleep, only him.
"Ahem, Taoist Jin'an, how long have I been asleep just now?" Kulijiang raised his hands and rubbed his temples vigorously to relieve fatigue.
Jin An thought for a while: "About a moment."
Kulijiang was stunned for a moment. Did he accidentally fall asleep for so long? Thinking of this, he exhaled deeply, then stood up gently and came to the bed to take a concerned look at the princess. Seeing that the princess was breathing smoothly, it seemed that it was rare to sleep. After a peaceful sleep, he couldn't bear to disturb the haggard and thinner princess, so he quietly walked to the balcony and closed the door.
The night outside the pavilion was dark.
Because of the wind and sand, the moonlight was gone in the sky. The moon was covered by thick clouds, making the desert even darker.
He returned to Jin An and said softly: "Taoist Master Jin An, I will go out for a inspection to clear my mind."
Looking at the tiredness in Kulijiang's eyes, Jin An said: "If you are too tired, you might as well take a nap first. If that thing doesn't come to the princess tonight, we will be even busier during the day, and there will be many difficult things waiting for us. Solve it once and for all.”
Kulijiang smiled and said that he was fine. He thanked Taoist Master Jin'an for his concern. He had recovered a lot of energy after squinting for a while and would definitely not delay the day's work.
Jin An nodded and stopped persuading.
As Kulijiang opened the door and walked out, the salutes of the guards of the Yueqiang King's Palace could be heard from the corridor outside the door, as well as the clang of their armors during the salute. As the door closed again, the sound of footsteps gradually disappearing on the carpet could be heard outside the corridor. .
As the footsteps disappeared, it became quiet again outside the door.
Even the princess's room became quiet again.
Jin An closed his eyes again to rest his mind.
If he couldn't keep the thing entangled with the princess at night, he would have to talk to the king of Yueqiang Kingdom who was seriously ill during the day, so he had to keep up his spirits to cope with the changes during the day.
squeak.
The door of the princess's room was opened from the outside.
"came back?"
However, there was silence outside the door, and there was no sound of Kulijiang or anyone's footsteps.
Jin An closed his eyes, and through the candlelight shining into the room from the corridor outside the crack of the door, he could see someone standing at the door, but that person was always standing at the door.
"Is Uncle Kulijiang back?"
"You can come in directly."
Jin An said.
The person outside the door still stood still.
Motionless like a wooden man.
Jin An frowned. He stood up and walked to the door. The figure outside the door flashed quickly and disappeared around the corner at the end of the corridor. He didn't even see clearly whether he was a man or a woman.
At this time, he discovered that the guards who were originally standing guard outside the door had disappeared at some point. The corridor outside the door was empty, and there was no one.
"Is that Uncle Kulijiang just now?"
"Is anyone else here?"
Jin An shouted twice toward the corridors on the left and right. Even though he lowered his voice, his deep voice still spread far in the empty corridor. People outside the pavilion might be able to hear his shouts.
But there was no sound from anyone else even outside the pavilion.
It's so quiet.
Only then did he realize something was wrong. The palace was too quiet. Logically speaking, there would be people patrolling the palace every time after nightfall, but he hadn't heard the footsteps of the patrol for a long time.
It was also the first time for him to enter the palace of a king.
If you suffer a loss, you will suffer a loss. Young people have no experience for the first time.
"Hide your head and show your tail!"
Jin An snorted coldly and slammed the door. He found that there was no one outside the corridor at night. He did not yell and ran out to find anyone, nor did he chase the figure who had just disappeared. Instead, he acted out of common sense. Card closed the door again.
After locking the door again and walking back to the room, he first walked to the princess's bedside and looked at the princess of Yueqiang Kingdom in the fragrant brocade quilt. She was breathing steadily and sleeping deeply. It didn't look like she was having a nightmare. He stepped on He walked to the balcony and opened the door.
He came to the balcony and looked at the palace outside the princess's pavilion.
The desert wind and sand outside have not stopped yet.
The wind and sand roared like ghosts crying and wolves howling, and the entire sky above Yueqiang City was shrouded in a layer of light yellow sand. When Jin An came to the balcony, a thin layer of floating soil had already accumulated under his feet.
Not only was the balcony covered with a layer of floating soil, but even the roofs of the palaces were covered with a layer of yellow sand, and the leaves of the exotic flowers and trees in the flower beds were also covered with a layer of yellow sand.
When I woke up one night, the streets and yards were covered with a layer of yellow sand. This is the norm in the desert.
The palace was brightly lit, but the only thing missing was the silence. It was unusually quiet. Standing in the princess pavilion and overlooking most of the palace, he could not see even a single person.
He squinted his eyes.
After standing on the balcony overlooking the palace for a while, Jin An turned around and walked back to the princess's boudoir. The gauze curtain behind the door seemed to prevent Jin An from going back, and the wind and sand kept flying in front of his eyes.
But they were immediately mercilessly slapped down by two palms. This was not enough, and they were tied into a knot again. This time they were finally unable to jump up.
Jin An has been unhappy with these two gauze tents for a long time. It's like two shrews yelling in his ears all the time. It's annoying.
Before closing the balcony door, Jin An glanced around the palace again, his eyes were cold and he let out a cold snort, bang, closed the balcony door to block the wind and sand outside.
Just the moment the door was closed, there seemed to be a violent air current, and all the candlelights in the room were instantly blown out by the wind and sand, plunging into darkness. But this darkness was not completely invisible to Jin An. After adapting to the dark vision, he took out the fire fold and relit the candles in the room.
He held up the heavy golden lamp holder and walked to the princess's bed. Seeing that the princess was still sleeping peacefully and soundly, with nothing abnormal, he began to hold up the lamp holder and light up all the candles in the room one by one.
When he finished lighting the candles in a circle and walked to the princess's bed again, he saw the princess' brows furrowed and a look of horror and fear on her face.
She seemed to be being chased by something in a nightmare, and her expression became more and more anxious. She wanted to cry out for help, but after opening her mouth, she could only make vague, inaudible, hoarse screams.
It looked like a person who was pressed into bed by a ghost and wanted to scream desperately but couldn't.
It was like being strangled by invisible iron-blue ghost claws.
The expression on his face became increasingly frightened.
Wow! Jin An bent down and violently opened the sheets, looking under the dark bed. There was no strange woman sleeping back-to-back hidden under the bed, and there was no face or eyes looking at him.
He reached out and touched under the dark bed for a long time, but he didn't touch anyone. His palm touched something wet, which was a bit cold. When he retracted his hand, he saw that there was a very light layer of moisture on his palm.
Um?
This time Jin An lay flat on the carpet and got under the bed. He turned his head and used the lamp to shine on the bed board under the bed. The space under the bed was very narrow, depressing and dark. Jin An carefully touched the bed board under the bed little by little. When he touched the corresponding When in the pillow position, the palms feel moisture again.
Right here in his eyes.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the way Hekmati Shaman died.
Jin An got out from under the princess's bed again and sat down at the table with his face facing the big bed. This time the evil spirit was a bit difficult to deal with. The princess's nightmare was real and something was seducing her soul, so he wanted to enter the dream to destroy the evil god this time.
…
Gulizal was very scared and had not dared to sleep at night for the past few days. She did not know when she fell asleep.
Bang bang, the pavilion gauze was flying violently, waking her up from her sleep. Only then did she realize that she had actually fallen asleep.
She was horrified to find that she was the only one sleeping alone in the room. Uncle Kulijiang was missing, and so was Taoist Priest Jin'an.
"Uncle Kulijiang?"
"Taoist Master Jin'an?"
The room was very quiet, so quiet that she could hear her heart beating violently like a drum. Gulizar was helpless and asked for help, but even the guards standing outside the door seemed to have disappeared. No matter how she called, no one answered her. .
I, I, I...
She screamed in fear and ran out of bed, staying far away from the bed. Her eyes were filled with fear, and she didn't even dare to look under the bed for fear that a face would stick out from under the bed.
Suddenly, bang!
There was a loud bang on the balcony door, as if it was torn shut by strong wind. Gulizal turned his head to look in the direction of the balcony with a pale face, and his body collapsed and fell to the ground in fear.
Just like this, she looked at a disheveled woman whose back was pressed against the bed...
