"She's lying to you. Poor little guy."
The restriction was firmly pressed on the top of the alley, and Xiao Mei knew that this voice could never be transmitted into the secret. Her hearing had indeed recovered, but the sound exploded in her ears like thunder, too close. If someone could get so close to her, Xu Zhuchen would have drawn his sword towards him.
Almost all of her internal power comes from Xu Zhuchen. She just cannot use her internal power here, but her internal power will not be reduced. Zhuchen has no perception, which means that this sentence only exists in her sea of consciousness.
Xiao Mei squeezed her free right hand, and a wetness melted on her fingertips, which turned into blood.
No matter what thing she touched just now, since it scratched her, it must have seen the light of day. Xiao Mei made a relatively safe "island" for himself in the sea of consciousness, and then he said: "What are you?"
The owner of the voice had no intention of hiding anything, and seemed to find her inference just now very funny: "You should know me, I am the relic of General Jingzheng - the flag of the King of Wei."
Xiao Mei felt something lingering in her sea of consciousness, hidden under the dark waves. She stood on the island, surrounded by light and safe, and responded: "To be honest, I have lost my memory and know very little about the past. Can you answer my questions?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a layer of shivers immediately arose in her consciousness, and the cold touch quickly reflected on her body, making her tremble all over.
"Oh...you forgot about me? No, no."
"Think carefully, you haven't forgotten. You, poor little guy, she, they, are all lying to you."
Something seemed to appear in front of Xiao Mei's eyes - a tree with bright red leaves, and a little girl with black hair standing under the tree, with her back turned to her. She stretched out her hand, but before she could grab it, she heard an urgent "Azadirachta!"
This call immediately dragged her out of the sea of consciousness, forcibly pulling her away from the wind, waves and whirlpools, and dragging her ashore regardless of her being covered in wet water.
Xu Zhuchen's voice rang in her ears one after another. Xiao Mei took a deep breath and exhaled, smiling and patting Xu Zhuchen's hand: "I'm fine, Zhuchen, I'm fine. I just felt something in my heart, and then I entered the consciousness. Hai, it seems there is some mystery here."
Xu Zhuchen also had a subtle feeling, but she had deep inner strength and was not easily disturbed. After the discomfort in her heart was confirmed by Xiao Mei, she pulled Xiao Mei to sit on a chair in the hall and began to observe this somewhat small store.
When you enter the Lu's shop, you will find the living room. There are eight chairs on the left and right sides, all of which are antiques. There is a small-leaf red sandalwood chair at the top. It is bright and shiny and should be the most valuable. There are two incense burners placed in the center of the chairs on both sides. The quiet and peaceful fragrance wafts out from the brass burners with carved longevity characters. It is elegant and soothing, as if you are in a warm room, smelling the faint fragrance of wintersweet and Tangli. Xu Zhuchen paid attention to Xiao Mei's condition and saw that she did not show any obvious rejection, so he felt a little relieved.
When the two of them entered, the door of Lu's shop was closed, and no one was seen in the front hall. Only two cups of tea were placed side by side on the seats on both sides. Xu Zhuchen's cup is Taiping Houkui, which is her favorite tea. She took a sip. The tea leaves were very fresh, and the brewing water was very soft. It was clear and moist in the mouth, without any astringency.
Xiao Mei was also holding her tea, but he covered the bowl tightly and could not smell the quality of the tea. Since she sat down, she held the tea cup without touching it.
She didn't look very energetic, which made Xu Zhuchen a little worried. She wanted to use her internal energy to see Xiao Mei's condition. As soon as she started to use her skills, she felt the shackles of the restriction and had to give up in frustration. She stopped exercising, raised her hand to hold Xiao Mei's hand, and said softly: "Ah Mei, are you nervous?"
Xiao Mei's body was a little stiff, but he gradually relaxed under Xu Zhuchen's comfort. She chuckled and said half-jokingly: "The aroma here is a bit overwhelming for me. Zhuchen, we have delivered the things, why don't we leave now?"
Xu Zhuchen smiled and said: "I didn't notice the intensity of the aroma at all. My nose has been insensitive since I was a child." As she said this, she pulled Xiao Mei's hand to the tip of her nose and gently rubbed it against her fingertips.
Xiao Mei's hands were stained with some indoor incense. Her body temperature was high, which made the fragrance even sweeter. Under the incense, Xu Zhuchen smelled a faint and bitter aroma, like crushed mugwort and fir bark, and like silverware that had just been oiled. She had never smelled the latter smell on Xiao Mei, so she turned her hand over and asked doubtfully: "Are you injured?"
Xiao Mei froze and almost pulled his hand back. However, Xu Zhuchen quickly checked her hands and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay."
The banner of King Wei just made her bleed, and it turned out to be an illusion in the sea of consciousness. Xiao Mei was even more worried. She knew that she could not enter the sea of consciousness at this time, so she squeezed Xu Zhuchen's hand and asked: "Zhuchen, do you know what the 'Wei Wang Banner' is?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a creaking sound came from behind the screen in the hall, and a man of about thirty years old dressed in rich clothes came out from behind the screen. Neither of them heard the footsteps. They only heard her say respectfully: "You two Girl, Lu Nu Shi invites you."
This familiar tone and tone was exactly the voice in her head just now!
The strength in Xiao Mei's hand suddenly became heavier, and he suddenly held Xu Zhuchen's hand. Xu Zhuchen knew that she was worried, so he held her hand back, leaned into Xiao Mei's ear and said, "Ah Mei, you are not in good condition, why don't you rest outside. Just leave the bag to me, and I will deliver it to Li Fenglong." Her His hand kept covering Xiao Mei's trembling hand, and his voice was soft, trying his best to calm Xiao Mei down.
Xiao Mei paused and shook his head. She tilted her head and said softly: "Zhu Chen, my... internal power has disappeared, and I can't see."
Xu Zhuchen squeezed her hand tighter: "Okay, then we will advance and retreat together. I am by your side, don't be afraid."
The two of them dragged their feet for a while and finally entered the inner room. The aroma in the back room is even stronger. Under the dark wooden decoration, there is a white-haired female historian sitting in front of the book desk, carefully repairing an ancient book. Xu Zhuchen gently approached Xiao Mei and told her the layout of the house.
"Coming in?" Lu Nushi glanced at them, her deep voice was lukewarm, "I thought you were going to delay for a while. Okay, bring the flag of King Wei."
Xu Zhuchen raised his hand to take it. Xiao Mei was afraid that she would also fall into an illusion, so he took the initiative to take out the kit, but did not hand it to the person opposite.
"Lu Nu Shi." Her voice was serious, "Sister Feng said that this thing cannot be seen from the sky. According to her, the Lu family shop should be a building that cannot be seen from the sky."
Lu Ruxue looked into Xiao Mei's eyes, and after a while, she turned her gaze to Xu Zhuchen.
"Oh, oh." Her voice gradually became high-pitched, and little by little it changed into the voice of Wei Wangban that Xiao Mei was familiar with.
"Poor little guy, I thought you had been lost in her tenderness. Well, when did you see it?"
Xiao Mei's eyes once again turned into a dark sea of consciousness, the island was no longer bright, and the waves on the bottom of the sea were more turbulent. The flag of King Wei, who had transformed into a human form, was like a ball of black seaweed, looking at her with pure white lips.
Xiao Mei stuffed the brocade bag in his hand back into his chest, and the brocade bag immediately melted into a bright light. She couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the gradually clearer banner of King Wei.
"The Xu Zhuchen I know will not choose to perform tasks alone when his teammates are not in good condition."
