Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 54

"How about it, the craftsmanship of our Fenglou is indeed exquisite, unique in the world, right?"

Uncle Quan stroked his long beard, looking proud.

Yue Wujiu stretched out his hand, looked at Shi Xuanling who was in a wedding dress, and wanted to touch her cheek, but for some reason, he just held her hand and murmured:
"I don't know why, it always feels too unreal, as if the next moment...you will disappear."

This is an experience he has never experienced before. It turns out that when the love is deep, he will be cautious, he will not dare to touch it, and he will... worry about gains and losses.

"Xuan Ling, one day, I will make up a real big wedding for you, just wear this wedding dress, and you will be my bride, the most beautiful bride in the world, okay?"

They held hands and looked at each other with smiles in their eyes. The young couple share weal and woe. He will never let her down. In the future, regardless of honor or disgrace, no matter what happens, the person next to him will only be her.

While the tenderness was flowing, the eyes in the dark were bottomless, looking at the flickering wedding dress on the girl's body, she sighed imperceptibly——

Dreams, dreams, how can a dream that is too beautiful last long?
The elegant fragrance is lingering, touching the heart, making people crispy and soft, but they don't realize it, in a trance, it's really like falling into a dream.

What Yue Wujiu and Shi Xuanling fell into was a dream of first love, but what Pei Shixi fell into was a sad dream of past events and fireflies flying.

"Wait, this hair is still a little too plain, I always feel that something is missing..."

The dreams of several people were suddenly interrupted by a sound. Uncle Quan stroked his chin, looked at the top of Shi Xuanling's head, and said meticulously: "Yes, there is a lack of a phoenix hairpin, which is the lack of a phoenix hairpin that matches this wedding dress. Go to the cabinet to get it, don’t run around, wait for me here, I’ll be right back!”

"Don't bother, it's already..." Shi Xuanling woke up like a dream, and wanted to stop Uncle Quan, but the figure waved his hand involuntarily, "Stop talking nonsense, wait for me to get the phoenix hairpin. You don't understand the respect of clothing!"

Everyone really doesn't understand that Uncle Quan has been working hard in Fenglou all his life. This is the so-called "artisan spirit". The pursuit of perfection means that every detail must be done to the best.

After Uncle Quan left, there were only Yue Wujiu and the three of them left in front of the cubicle. The young man was still holding the hand of his bride, and the pair of children looked at each other tenderly. turn around.

At this moment, the wheelchair turned in the dark, and there was a very slight "click" sound. Pei Shixi's hearing was excellent, and he became alert instantly.

"Who is there?"

His wolf eyes shot brightly, and he chased after the sound without even thinking about it. Yue Wugui and Shi Xuanling were also shocked, and they both saw a guess in the other's eyes——

Could it be the owner of Fenglou?
Without hesitation, they followed Pei Shixi closely, and chased towards the deep place on the ninth floor.

The three of them completely ignored Uncle Quan's instructions, and wandered around on the ninth floor. Unexpectedly, they lost their way in the midst of twists and turns. The ninth floor was set up like a maze. , Ordinary people broke in like headless chickens, wandering around, not knowing the direction, and trapped here.

At this moment, a shadow flashed past the bookshelf again, and Shi Xuanling excitedly said, "There!"

As she spoke, she ran after her, but the shadow acted like a ghost, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Yue Wujiu and Pei Shixi also chased after them at the same time, and stood beside Shi Xuanling respectively. The three of them stood among the layers of sandalwood bookshelves, as if they were in a maze, and suddenly lost their mind.

A vague fragrance permeated the air, and for some reason, the three of them felt inexplicably uneasy. The huge Fenglou seemed more and more mysterious at this moment, and even had a ghostly air about it.

"Let's go back first and ask Uncle Quan what's going on. If he finds out that we're missing, he will definitely..."

Before Shi Xuanling's words fell, she stepped on some mechanism under her feet, and with a click sound, four hidden doors rose from the floor, and surrounded them instantly with a biting chill, forming a small circle on the spot. The secret room, let them in and out.

Before the three of them had time to come back to their senses, the sandalwood bookshelves made the sound of "rusting" again, and in the blink of an eye, countless dark arrows were seen flying from the bookshelves in all directions——

"Xuan Ling be careful!"

It was too late and then soon, Yue Wugui flew forward, and wrapped Shi Xuanling into his arms, and the long sword of Wangxin on his back came out of its sheath in response, the sword light was like a rainbow, dancing in the young man's hands without leaking water, The incoming arrows were shot down one by one.

Over there, Pei Shixi was also caught off guard, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the iron claws in his sleeves suddenly stretched out, and the cold light shot in all directions, neatly blocking the arrows coming from all directions.

The secret door was like a wall, and the flying arrows were like rain. They couldn't get out, and couldn't escape. The three of them were somehow trapped in this murderous secret room.

Everything was exactly as Uncle Quan had warned at the beginning: "The ninth floor is full of traps and hidden secret rooms. There are many dangers. If you don't follow the rules and are careless, touch the traps by mistake, hurt yourself, or even lose yourself here." If you lose your life, you are all to blame, don't rely on our Fenglou!"

Pei Shixi gritted his teeth while defending against the endless arrows, "Damn it, I already told you that this place is a black shop! There are more institutions than the Zhenfu Division's prison. Are they selling wedding dresses?" Yes, the swindler came in and slaughtered him alive!"

-

In Qinglin Garden, sandalwood is lingering, and fans are spread out on the table. Mrs. Wan is holding a paintbrush, and carefully outlines the autumn scenery of distant mountains on the fans.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the scenery of the four seasons, she has already painted in the late autumn, and all the strokes are depicting the distant hometown in her heart.

In addition to homesickness, she is also missing someone.

The child went to Gumo country, and the date of return is undecided. He has always used black iron folding fans, and she carefully painted these fans, but she knew that these folding fans would not be sent out, and would only be hidden in the cabinet by her.

The toxicity in her body was suppressed a lot because of the medicine Shi Xuanling sent, but she still didn't dare to think about him, and she didn't want to show half of her mother's love in front of him.

After all, this child's surname is Zhongli, her marriage with his father was already a big mistake, and giving birth to him was even more wrong, so how can she love him in any mood?

Betraying her people, her beliefs, and her hometown, she has made ridiculous mistakes in her life, so she can only trap herself on this island and end her life like this.

The pen and ink on the fan meanders, gradually revealing a hazy autumn scenery of the mountains. Mrs. Wan stared at the painting, and then moistened the tip of the pen in the inkstone at hand. Just as she was about to continue to outline a fallen leaf, a maid in white hurried into the painting. In the hall, leaned close to her ear and whispered.

With a ticking sound, thick black ink fell on the fan, completely destroying a good painting.

Mrs. Wan's voice trembled slightly: "You mean them, they... went to Fenglou?"

-

In the secret room surrounded by four secret doors, arrows were scattered all over the place, the sandalwood bookshelf was also smashed to pieces, and there were two figures lying on the ground.

It was Yue Wugui and Shi Xuanling who passed out in a coma.

After the waves of hidden arrows were shot, there was misty smoke floating around again. Coincidentally, Yue Wujiu and Shi Xuanling stood directly facing the most violent mist of mist, and Pei Shixi was behind them, seeing He quickly covered his mouth and nose, so he inhaled the least smoke and was the first to wake up.

At this moment, he was holding on to the bookshelf, and the iron claws were on the ground. He was still a little dizzy, but he shook his head and tried his best to stay awake.

This mist is really powerful, it can make people see countless phantoms in front of their eyes, and lose their minds, he can't delay any longer, he has to find a way to get out of this ghost place quickly!

Thinking of this, Pei Shixi stood up with difficulty, and when he was about to find a mechanism to open the secret door, he caught sight of the two unconscious people on the ground.

To be precise, the more innocent the unconscious.

Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Some thoughts popped up just around the corner, if you do something here without anyone noticing, you can completely end Yue Wugui's life, so as to prevent future troubles.

Instead of painstakingly probing, unable to figure out the reality, and leaving a hidden danger here, it is better to strike first, at least a dead person will no longer pose any threat to him.

Cutting the weeds has to get rid of the roots, since you have moved beyond the family, you should simply move to the end, and don't even keep this only blood, so as not to feel uneasy, restless, and cause troubles in the future.

No one can stand in his way, the family's great cause must be completed in his hands, if you want to blame it, you can blame Yue Wugui, it's absolutely wrong, it shouldn't be the offspring of the Yue family!

Pei Shixi's eyes sank, and he looked at the unconscious young man on the ground.

Anyway, the three of them were trapped in this secret room, with treacherous mechanisms, and any accidents could be escaped to this weird and dangerous Fenglou.

The son of Yue touched the mechanism by mistake, was trapped in the secret room, and was "choked to death" by poisonous smoke. He can't be blamed for this, can he?
Such a god-given opportunity, if he doesn't do it, it will be wasted in vain.

Thinking of this, Pei Shixi held his breath, and walked step by step towards the unconscious young man on the ground. He made a decision in his heart, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

The girl was wearing a swaying wedding gown, and she was still lying on the boy's chest. When she opened her eyes in a daze, she saw a ghost claw approaching, passing by her side, as if trying to cover the more innocent Jiu's mouth and nose, and took his life!

Shocked, she looked up, only to see a horrific figure covered in flames and bleeding from the seven orifices——

Surprisingly, it was the red slave who was in an ambush in Yuncheng back then, but his whereabouts were revealed, he turned around resolutely, and finally threw himself into Lanyanlihuo and set himself on fire!

"no, do not want!"

The mist caused people to have hallucinations. When Shi Xuanling was in a trance, he only mistook the person who made the attack in front of him, and regarded him as the soul of the red slave who burned himself in the fire on the long street of Yuncheng that day.

"Don't hurt your son, please..."

This sudden sound startled Pei Shixi, his expression changed, Shi Xuanling had already tightly protected the unconscious young man under him, raised his head and begged him with difficulty:

"Don't take his life. You have a wrong and a debtor. It's you, you who want to jump into the fire and burn yourself. You can't blame others... The blue flames and fires were also lit by you, harming others and yourself... Who told you?" , who told you to ambush and sneak attack in Yuncheng..."

In the chaotic and upside-down words, Pei Shixi frowned slightly, aware of the abnormality, while Shi Xuanling's face was pale, his forehead was wet with sweat, and he was still begging:

"If your soul really can't rest in peace and you must seek revenge, then come at me, let it go, let my family's eldest son go..."

Pei Shixi looked at those shallow brown eyes, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "You look at me, who am I?"

"You are, you are...the red slave who threw himself on fire."

In the answer that sounded like a dream, Pei Shixi secretly made a judgment. It seemed that it was a phantom caused by the smoke, and Shi Xuanling was still deeply trapped in it and could not wake up.

He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at the unconscious boy on the ground, and was about to put aside his worries and continue to fight, when the girl obviously saw his intentions, and once again protected the unconscious boy even more tightly, Tears flickered between her raised heads:
"No, don't touch Shizi, don't kill him, please..."

Even though she was deeply hallucinated, she desperately wanted to protect his life. This pleading made Pei Shixi's heart tighten, and her hands stopped in mid-air.

Wouldn't it be better to kill both of them, once and for all, and completely eliminate future troubles?

He struggled in his heart, but the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more intense, but he couldn't do anything when he looked at the bright red wedding dress and the pair of clear brown eyes.

"Get out of the way, I'll count to three, if you don't get out of the way, I'll send you all to hell together!"
