Holy Bone

Chapter 400 The Nightmare of Princess Yueqiang, Sleeping Back to Back
Crying and mourning are the most likely to hurt the spirit.

Perhaps it was because she didn't sleep well for two consecutive days, and she was overwhelmed after crying, and the princess of Yueqiang Kingdom fell asleep while crying.

Even after falling asleep, tears were still streaming down her face, wondering if she had dreamed of something sad in her sleep.

In the second half of the night, the night became darker, and the palace was completely silent. Even the guards and maids guarding the door lowered their heads and dozed off from time to time, and there was silence for a while.

In this silence, people are most likely to get stuck.

Riding camels in the desert was a huge physical exertion. Ku Lijiang, a bearded man, went on the road for two consecutive days and two nights without sleeping.What's more, the constant vigil with nervous nerves made him even more physically and mentally exhausted. Several disturbances tossed his tense nerves even more exhausted, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier. He originally only wanted to squint his eyes for a while, but Also fell asleep unconsciously.

Jin An is as motionless as a pine, sitting on the stool in front of the table with his whole body relaxed, closing his eyes and resting his mind. The internal viscera in the immortal temple circulates over and over again, giving birth to a steady stream of vitality, which provides vital energy for the internal organs. Quickly restore stamina.

In this relaxed state, the quiet surroundings made his six senses sharper, and he couldn't hide any troubles in the room from him.

He heard the breathing of the princess and Kulijiang gradually calmed down, and knew that they were both asleep, but he didn't wake them up.

The night grew darker.

call--

At night in the desert, the wind and sand blows, and the gauze curtains used to block the desert wind and sand on the balcony of the pavilion are blown and crackled. Catch, struggle.

Kulijiang was very vigilant. Even if he accidentally fell asleep, he still did not relax his vigilance towards the outside world. He suddenly woke up when he heard some movement, and subconsciously grabbed the scimitar on the table.

When he found that the movement came from those gauze curtains, but he was too nervous, after he relaxed, his eyes showed deep fatigue.

He turned around and found that Jin An beside him was also asleep, and all three people in the room were actually asleep.

Ku Lijiang called softly: "Master Jin'an?"

"Huh?" Jin An closed his eyes, his eyes were clear and bright, shining brightly, and Ku Lijiang showed a look of shame. It turned out that Daoist Jin An was not asleep, but he was the only one who fell asleep.

"Ahem, Daoist Jin'an, how long have I been asleep?" Ku Lijiang raised his hands and rubbed his temples vigorously to relieve his fatigue.

Jin An thought for a while: "A moment or so."

Kulijiang was stunned for a moment, did he accidentally fall asleep for so long? Thinking of this, he let out a deep breath, then stood up gently and came to the bed to take a look at the princess. Seeing that the princess was breathing smoothly, it seemed that it was rare to fall asleep. After he regained his composure, he couldn't bear to disturb the haggard and thinner princess, so he walked lightly to the balcony and closed the door.

The night outside the pavilion was dark.

Because of the wind and sand, the moonlight in the sky has disappeared, and the moon is covered by thick clouds, making the desert even darker.

He returned to Jin'an's side again, and said softly, "Master Jin'an, I'll go out and make a round to clear my mind."

Looking at the tiredness in Ku Lijiang's eyes, Jin An said: "If you are too tired, you might as well go to sleep first. If that thing doesn't come to the princess tonight, we will be busier during the day instead, and there are many difficult things waiting for us It's done once and for all."

Ku Lijiang smiled and said that he was fine, and thanked Taoist Jin'an for his concern. He had recovered a lot of energy after a short squint just now, and he would definitely not delay the day's work.

Jin An nodded and stopped persuading.

As Kulijiang opened the door and walked out, the guards of the Yueqiang Palace saluted from the corridor outside the door, as well as the clanging of armor during the salute, and as the door closed again, there was the sound of footsteps stepping on the carpet gradually going away outside the corridor .

As the footsteps disappeared, the door became quiet again.

Even the princess's room became quiet again.

Jin An closed his eyes again to rest his mind.

If he couldn't wait for the thing that entangled the princess at night, he would have to talk to the seriously ill king of Yueqiang Kingdom in person during the day, so he had to raise his spirits to cope with the changes during the day.

creak.

The door of the princess' room was pushed open from the outside.

"came back?"

However, there was silence outside the door, and there was no sound of Ku Lijiang, nor the sound of anyone's footsteps.

Jin An closed his eyes, and through the candlelight shining into the room from the corridor outside the door, he could see a person standing at the door, but the person remained standing at the door.

"Is Uncle Kulijiang back?"

"You can come in directly."

Jin An said.

The people outside the door still stood still.

Standing there motionless.

Jin An frowned, he got up and walked to the door, but the figure outside the door flashed quickly, and quickly disappeared at the corner at the end of the corridor, without even seeing clearly whether it was a man or a woman.

At this time, he found that the guards who had been standing guard outside the door had disappeared at some point, and the corridor outside the door was empty, with no one there.

"Was it Uncle Kulijiang just now?"

"Is anyone else there?"

Jin An yelled twice towards the corridors on the left and right. Even though he lowered his voice, his deep voice was still heard far away in the empty corridors. Perhaps even people outside the pavilion could hear his shouts.

But no one else responded to him outside the pavilion.

Too quiet.

It was only at this time that he realized the abnormality. The palace was too quiet. Normally, after nightfall, there would be night watchmen passing by every once in a while, but he hadn't heard the night watchman's footsteps for a long time.

He was also the first time to enter a king's palace.

A disadvantage is a disadvantage when a young person has no experience for the first time.

"Hide your head and show your tail!"

Jin An snorted coldly and slammed the door. He found no one outside the corridor at night. He didn't run out yelling to find someone, and he didn't chase the flashing figure just now. The card's closed the door again and didn't go anywhere.

After re-locking the door and walking back to the room, he first walked to the princess's bed and saw that the princess of the Yueqiang Kingdom in the quilt was breathing smoothly and sleeping deeply, and she didn't seem to be having a nightmare. Thick Persian carpet, went to the balcony and opened the door.

He came to the balcony and looked at the palace outside the princess pavilion.

The desert wind and sand outside has not stopped.

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 royal palace were covered with a layer of yellow sand, and the leaves of the exotic flowers and trees in the flower garden were also covered with a layer of yellow sand.

Waking up overnight, the streets and yards are covered with a layer of yellow sand. This is the normal state in the desert.

The palace was brightly lit, but the only thing that was missing was the quietness, which was so unusually quiet. He stood in the princess pavilion overlooking most of the palace, but he didn't even see a single person.

Squinted.

Standing on the balcony overlooking the palace for a while, Jin An turned around and walked back to the princess' boudoir. The gauze curtain behind the door seemed to prevent Jin An from going back, and was swirled by the wind and sand and kept flying in front of his eyes.

But they were immediately slapped down mercilessly by two palms. This was not enough, and they tied a knot again, and this time they finally couldn't jump up.

Jin An had been unhappy seeing these two gauze curtains for a long time, like two shrews swearing in his ears all the time, it was so annoying.

Before closing the balcony door, Jin An glanced around the palace again, and let out a cold snort with cold eyes, bang, closed the balcony door to block the wind and sand outside.

It was just that the moment the door was closed, there seemed to be a strong air current, and all the candles in the room were instantly blown out by the wind and sand, and plunged into darkness.But this darkness was not enough for Jin An to completely see. After he got used to the dark vision, he took out a fire pocket 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, there was no abnormality, so he began to hold up the lamp holder and light all the candles in the room one by one.

When he finished lighting the candles in a circle and walked back to the princess's bed, intending to wake her up and go out with him to find the missing person, he saw the princess frowning, with a frightened and frightened expression on her face, as if she was doing something. Nightmare, the expression on his face became more and more anxious, and he wanted to call out for help, but after opening his mouth, he could only make a vague, ah, hoarse cry.

It looked like a person who wanted to scream desperately after being crushed by a ghost but couldn't make a sound.

It was like being strangled by an invisible iron blue ghost claw.

The expression on his face became more and more frightened.

Wow!Jin An bent over and violently lifted the bedsheets. There was no strange woman sleeping with her back to her back hidden under the dark bed, nor was there any face or eyes that looked at him.

He stretched out his hand and touched it back and forth under the dark bed for a while, but he didn't touch anyone. Instead, his palm touched something wet, which was a little cold. He retracted his hand and saw that there was a light layer of water vapor on the palm.

Ok?
This time, Jin An lay flat on the carpet and got under the bed. Looking up, he took the lamp to illuminate the bed board under the bed. The space under the bed was oppressive and dark. He carefully touched the bed board under the bed. When he touched the eyes, the palm of his hand Touch the water vapor again.

And this position corresponds exactly to the pillow position of the princess.

At this time, he suddenly remembered the way Hekmat Shaman died, his eyes widened in horror, as if he saw something terrible, people were nailed to death under the bed, the terrified face of Hekmat Shaman should be in the His position.

Jin An's eyes were thoughtful.

He had gradually figured out what was going on.

Jin An got out from under the princess' bed again, and sat down at the table facing the big bed. This time, the evil spirit was a bit difficult to deal with. The princess' nightmare was real, and something sneaked into the dream to seduce the soul, so this time he had to come out with a ghost Orifice, enter the dream to destroy the evil god.

……

……

Gulizal was very scared and had been afraid to sleep at night for the past few days, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

Crackling, the gauze curtains in the pavilion fluttered violently, waking her up from her sleep, and it was only at this moment that she realized that she had fallen asleep unknowingly.

The first thing she did when she woke up was to find Uncle Kulijiang and Daoist Jin'an in the room, but when she turned her head to look at the bedside, she was horrified to find that she was sleeping alone in the room. Uncle disappeared, and so did Daoist Jin'an.

"Uncle Kulijiang?"

"Daoist Jin'an?"

The room was very quiet, so quiet that she could hear the beating sound of her heart beating like a drum. Gulizal was helpless to call for help, but even the guard standing outside the door seemed to have disappeared. No matter how she called, no one answered her. .

"I, I, I..." She screamed and ran out of bed, screaming and running away from the bed, she ran to the door in fear, trying to find someone for help.

She didn't dare to look under the bed from the beginning to the end, for fear that a stranger's face would stick out from under the bed.

Suddenly, bang!

There was a loud bang on the balcony door, as if it was being torn shut by a strong wind. Gulizal, who was already filled with panic, hadn't even reached the door when he was frightened by the sudden sound behind him and fell to the ground. , the eyes just met the eyes of a woman with disheveled hair who was sticking to the back under the bed.

It was a strange face full of malice, with only the whites of the eyes and no pupils.
