The words are divided into two parts.
Here let's move the time forward a little, back to the early hours of the morning.
And returned his sight to the shabby house on the outskirts of the city.
At that time, shortly after Yun Shili left with Shuanghe and Fuzi, Linghu Xiang, Lin Yuancheng, Qin Feng and Tyrell decided to sleep on the spot.
It's not that the four of them are heartless, it's mainly that even if they don't go to sleep, they have nothing to do.
Before the few people who entered the palace to meet the saints came back, all the four people who stayed here could do was wait. They had to wait, and there happened to be guards outside the house guarding the house. Why not just take this opportunity to sleep peacefully and recover. Strengthen your body, and relax your nerves that have been tense for a while.
So, just before the end of the third watch, these four people, lying or leaning on each other, deep or shallow... fell asleep one after another.
I don't know how long I slept this time.
The other three were all fine, but Lin Yuancheng... couldn't sleep well.
Xiaolin woke up with a hangover yesterday. After being told what happened between him and the princess, he still feels a little uneasy.
Although in Fudoko's description, the whole thing was a "misunderstanding" and a "farce" at best, and the other party was more responsible. Lin Yuancheng basically had no problem, but Xiaolin himself was still very entangled.
He didn't know whether he was feeling ashamed, scared, or some other emotion... Anyway, he was very confused. When he closed his eyes, he was thinking about that over and over again, but because his memory was blurry, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. Headache.
Therefore, Lin Yuancheng had been tossing and turning for half the night, unable to fall asleep in a daze.
Friends who have experienced this state should know that this kind of forced sleep operation is more uncomfortable than staying up all night. If you "sleep" in this state for several hours, not only will your sleepiness not diminish at all, but you will also have a headache and sore eyes. .
Lin Yuancheng got up when his headache reached a certain level.
He thought to himself: There is no way to go on like this. Just go out and get some water to wash your face, sober up, sit down and practice the exercises.
However, as soon as he opened his eyes and sat up, he took advantage of the dim moonlight outside the window and glanced into the room, and found that... at this moment, he was the only one left in this dilapidated room.
Linghu Xiang, Qin Feng and Tyrell, who were lying around the room not long ago, are no longer here.
Seeing this, Lin Yuancheng couldn't help but open his mouth and said softly, "Huh?"
It was a good thing that he didn't open his mouth. When he opened his mouth, he saw that what came out of his mouth along with his soft words was not only a sound, but also a trace of white breath.
Everyone, this is summer...
No matter how half asleep Lin Yuancheng was, he would definitely feel that this situation was abnormal.
However, his first reaction at this moment was not to think about the goblins, but to suspect that the guards outside the house had done something to them, such as using some kind of hallucinogenic smoke, and secretly The other three were captured.
Just when he was thinking this, suddenly...
babble--
The creaking wooden door of the broken house was gently pushed open.
Immediately afterwards, a figure entered the room.
Although the room was dark at this time and he could only barely see the outline of the other person, Lin Yuancheng immediately judged that the other person was a practicing practitioner... because there was no sound of footsteps when this person moved.
Lin Yuancheng also has a lot of experience in the arena, so he naturally knows what to do at this time.
It was too late, but it was so fast. In the next second, Xiao Lin had already stepped forward and knocked the opponent to the ground in one move. Then he sat on the opponent's waist to suppress it, and the sharp sword in his hand was also there at the same time. Against the other person's throat.
This set of movements takes less than two seconds.
Two seconds later, Lin Yuancheng lowered his voice and said coldly to the person below him: "Don't move. I'll let you speak out. If you speak out again, do you understand?"
Just as he finished speaking, a dark cloud was blown away by the wind in the moon-covered sky outside the house, and a clear moonlight poured in from the window, illuminating the small space in front of Lin Yuancheng.
Only then did Lin Yuancheng see clearly that the person he was suppressing was actually a young girl.
The girl's skin was as white as snow under the moonlight, and her beautiful yet heroic facial features made Lin Yuancheng feel familiar.
Xiao Lin looked at each other and saw tears welling up in the girl's smart, childish eyes, and was a little stunned for a moment.
He originally thought... the person who came in must have plotted against their Jin Yiwei or someone else. He never expected that it would be a little girl.
Moreover, the more he looked at the other person, the more familiar he felt...
"Ah!" Finally, after staring at the other person's face for a few more seconds, Lin Yuancheng came to his senses, "You are..."
He was so frightened that he jumped up quickly and took a few steps back.
Yes, all the readers must have guessed that the "girl" in front of Lin Yuancheng looks like Zhu Qingzhen who has resumed women's clothing.
Of course, she was not the real Zhu Qingzhen; it was impossible for the real Princess Qingzhen to appear in a place like this in the middle of the night, let alone walk into the house single-handedly and be captured immediately.
The one in front of me is the "snake", one of the thirteen dead animals.
After seeing this, does anyone think it’s more exciting?
"Hmph." Snake quickly stood up, patted the dust on his body, looked at Lin Yuancheng, and said coquettishly, "You are really capable, Young Master Lin."
As it spoke, it approached Lin Yuancheng.
The room was not big, and Xiao Lin had already leaned against the wall without taking a few steps back.
"You did that to others the day before yesterday... and they didn't care about you. Why are you pushing your limits today?" The word "snake" seems to be asking for guilt, but its expression and tone are not. Instead, it is flirtatious. smell.
"I..." Lin Yuancheng was not a dull person at first, but now he seemed clumsy. "I didn't mean to offend you. It was all a misunderstanding. I hope the princess will forgive me..."
"Oh?" Snake continued in a pretentious manner, "So you know I'm a princess, so you did it on purpose before?"
"No...I..." Lin Yuancheng quickly denied.
But before he could say the third word, he felt a chill on his lips. It turned out to be a finger of the other party's finger, which had been gently pressed on his mouth.
"Actually... you don't need to explain." Snake said, having already arrived in front of Lin Yuancheng. While gently sealing the other person's mouth with his hand, it stuck to Xiao Lin and leaned against the other person's chest, "Besides... I also Not angry."
It pretended to be shy and said, lowering its head slightly, then slowly raising it, looking up at Lin Yuancheng.
At this time, Lin Yuancheng looked down and saw this "girl" with red cheeks and charming eyes, crawling on his chest like a well-behaved cat; her soft body was close to Lin Yuancheng, her hair and The fragrance emanating from his body kept rushing straight from his nose to Lin Yuancheng's brain... This kind of stimulation was undoubtedly a bit difficult for a young man like Xiao Lin to withstand.
But Lin Yuancheng is a gentleman after all.
After a brief period of confusion, he quickly regained his composure and pushed the other party away.
"Princess, please respect yourself." When Lin Yuancheng said these words, his expression was no longer panicked, and his tone was even cold.
Because at this moment, Xiao Lin has vaguely realized that the "Princess Qing Zhen" in front of him is not the same person as the Princess Qing Zhen he had contacted before.
Rationally speaking, Lin Yuancheng believes that Zhu Qing is a princess, and no matter how much she falls in love with someone at first sight, it is impossible for her to throw herself into her arms the second time they meet.
From a perceptual point of view, although Lin Yuancheng and Zhu Qinggan were not familiar with each other, he could understand intuitively... The person in front of him was not the Qinggan he knew. Even if they looked exactly the same, they gave him different feelings. .
So, since she is not a real princess, she is a fake princess?
twin? Disguise? substitute? still……
No matter what it was, her unusual behavior of throwing herself into her arms and the disappearance of her companions were all suspicious points, and Lin Yuancheng had to be on guard.
"Hey, you're still not happy?" After the snake was pushed away, it looked a little surprised, but it quickly adjusted its expression and pretended to be slightly angry and aggrieved, "You have repeatedly offended me, and you also collaborated with others Those brothers of yours killed my future husband. Not only do I not hold you accountable, I also want you to...let you..." it said, paused, as if there were some words it was ashamed to say, "... It's better for you to be so ignorant and ruin other people's thoughts... Lin! Tell me! Don't you want to be responsible? "
"Ha..." The more Lin Yuancheng listened, the more certain he was that the other party was a fake, so he simply asked with a smile, "Then how do you want me to be responsible?"
"What else can you do?" Snake pouted, "You took advantage of me so much and killed my future husband, so you can only..."
"I can only be the consort and marry you?" Lin Yuancheng continued.
"It's good that you know!" When Snake responded to this sentence, she turned her face away "shyly".
"So Princess Xingye came here to find me just to make me agree to marry you?" Lin Yuancheng asked again.
"Well..." Snake groaned and glanced at Lin Yuancheng slyly, "Otherwise...what else do you want to do?"
As he spoke, this guy put on a coy look, and then cast a look that wanted to refuse but to welcome Lin Yuancheng.
"Hmph..." Lin Yuancheng curled his lips and followed the other person's wishes, "In my opinion, since you and I are in love and will become husband and wife sooner or later, it's better to take advantage of the fact that there is no one around now. Let’s practice our relationship as husband and wife first, and cook the raw rice into the cooked rice, so as to avoid being obstructed by others in our future marriage due to the disparity in our status.”
As soon as the snake heard this, it felt happy. At that time, it secretly said in its heart: "Bad boy, just now I really thought you were a gentleman and kept your peace. It turns out that you are just a hypocrite. You have to pretend first." …”
Thinking of this, Snake turned around, his back to Lin Yuancheng, and said in a very standard arrogant tone: "You...shameless!"
That being said, it didn't take a step away from the other party, and its posture looked like it was waiting for the other party to hug it from behind.
Lin Yuancheng did not waste any time. He walked forward in three steps and took out things from his arms as he walked...
After a breath, Lin Yuancheng gave the snake a bear hug from behind. While restraining the snake's body, a talisman was slapped on the snake's forehead.
What's the name of this talisman?
In fact, it's nothing special. It's just a very common amulet to ward off evil spirits.
Among the Taoist talisman arts, this kind of talisman painting method is the most widely circulated and has the most diverse branches. Generally speaking, Taoist priests will draw one or two kinds, but the actual effect... it depends on how humane the painting is.
The talisman Lin Yuancheng took out at this time was given to him by Fudozi before, but it was not drawn by Fudozi himself, but by Chunchenzi, Fudozi's uncle, the "supervisor" of Xuanqi Sect. .
Those of you who have read the previous document should still have some impressions. Chun Chenzi is the old Taoist who used various illusions to test Huang Donglai when he went to Wawu Mountain to find the Xuanqi Sect's gate. It was also the last time Huang Donglai took Lin Yuancheng and Tyrell up the mountain. The one who is playing chess with the immovable piece.
The Taoist priests of the Xuanqi Sect each have their own strengths because the classics they practice are very random.
For example, Fudozi is better at divination and fortune-telling (his hand-to-hand combat ability is innate and has nothing to do with learning); Mianyinzi is relatively good at magic weapons and formations (learning to sing is another matter. ); and their uncle Chun Chenzi is proficient in things like talismans, alchemy and illusion.
The Thirteen Dead Zodiac Signs are no trivial matters. Although Fudozi is very capable, he does not dare to overdo it. Therefore, before going down the mountain this time, he specially asked Chun Chenzi to prepare a lot of talismans and elixirs, and he would distribute them to Huang Donglai and others at the right time. ,"in case for need".
No, Lin Yuancheng is using it now.
As soon as he put the talisman on it, the snake immediately screamed.
How does the snake feel right now? Let's put it this way, it's almost like drinking lava while washing your face with sulfuric acid.
A second ago, it thought that its temptation had succeeded and relaxed its vigilance. Who knows, the next second, its face was covered in such a powerful talisman.
If it were an ordinary little demon who was affixed to this talisman, it would definitely be unable to move and would have to wait for death. However, the dead animals are different. Only something of the level of the "Pure Heaven and Earth Talisman" can suppress them. And quickly "killed" them. Now that this exorcism talisman is strong, it can only limit its power, but cannot completely seal its actions.
In other words, in theory, the snake can actually take off the talisman by forcefully supporting itself while sustaining the damage caused by the talisman.
However... because Lin Yuancheng had physically locked the snake in human form at this moment, it was unable to break free due to its limited strength, and was "burned" by the power of the talisman.
Now it's okay, the snake can only escape the trap by showing its original shape.
It didn't hesitate much, because it knew that if it didn't transform, it would only be "burned" by the talisman even more, so it changed decisively, at the expense of the heavy damage to its spirit body, and used the demonic power overflowed during the transformation to burn off the talisman on its forehead. Paper.
And as it changed back into a snake shape, Lin Yuancheng's restraint could no longer be maintained; when Xiao Lin saw the black energy oozing out of the "person" in his arms and starting to transform, he immediately let go and jumped away, turned over and ran out of the house.
Fortunately, he ran fast, because as soon as he stepped out with his front legs, the shabby house with his back legs had been torn apart by the body of the giant snake that expanded from the inside and collapsed, turning it into ruins.
"You bastard, you dare to plot against me!" Although the snake was injured by the sneak attack, it did not lose its combat power, so the "illusion" it created has not been lifted. At this moment, it roared and was about to swallow Lin Yuancheng.
We have to explain here that swallowing and killing people directly like this cannot achieve the purpose of "harvesting the sun", otherwise the snake would not have put in the effort just now.
Among the thirteen dead animals, the snake is relatively weak in terms of power, but its "contributions" are no less than those of the other dead animals. This is because it has a special ability. In addition to gathering yang and replenishing yin, it can also transform the being. The people he "picked" turned into puppets who obeyed his words.
Tonight, the snake sneaked into Lin Yuancheng's dream, originally wanting to take advantage of the opponent's inner weakness, "pick" it, and then use it as an undercover agent in the enemy's camp. However, he did not expect... Having experienced hundreds of battles, I Being tricked by such a boy made him angry.
Lin Yuancheng was a little panicked when he saw such a big worm rushing towards him. Although his swordsmanship was high, it was not the way to fight monsters. At this time, all he could do was run away.
But as soon as he turned around, the snake's head had already circled in front of him, and the speed of movement was obviously far beyond his imagination.
When he looked back to the other side, Lin Yuancheng found that he was surrounded by a "wall" with a sticky luster.
Just when Xiao Lin was thinking whether he was about to die, suddenly!
"I bow to the Jade Emperor of the Nine Heavens and lend me three inches of spiritual light!" A curse suddenly sounded.
In an instant, a ray of colorful mysterious light was seen shooting down from the dark "sky", and another figure descended from the sky following the sound of a mantra.
This man is in his thirties, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a green cloth gown, straw sandals and a black hat.
Lin Yuancheng took a closer look and saw that the person who came was none other than the corpse driver...Liang Jingshuo!
