Fairy stop smoking

Chapter 2 Washing the marrow
"Tweety, are you feeling better now? Can you come in for my father's convenience?"

A gentle male voice sounded outside the door. Hearing this familiar voice, Chai Jiangcui realized that it was Yuanshen's father.

Quickly hid the box and porcelain bottle under the quilt, lay down on the bed and spread the quilt obediently, and after confirming that everything was fine, Chai Jiangcui responded in a soft tone:

"Daddy, come in."

Hearing her reply, a man outside the door came in accompanied by Zi Huan.

Chai Jian is over forty years old, with a tough face, his temples have turned gray due to his constant work on government affairs, but this not only does not make him look old, but on the contrary adds to his charm of a mature man.

Looking at the haggard daughter lying on the bed, Chai Jian couldn't help but feel distressed, and he asked softly:
"Tweety, how do you feel now? Is there any discomfort in your body?"

Looking up at the kind father in front of him, Chai Jiangcui nodded slightly, and said softly:

"Thank you dad for your concern. Except for a little fatigue, Tweety is fine now."

Hearing his daughter's answer, Chai Jian finally let go of most of the boulder he had been carrying in his heart for the past few days.
"It's good that you're fine. You've been in a coma on the bed for so long, and it's normal to feel a little tired. I happen to have a thousand-year-old ginseng plant in my room. I'll let the kitchen make soup tonight to make you stronger."

It can be seen that Chai Jian still loves her daughter very much, even willing to take out the treasure at the bottom of the box for her to enjoy.

Chai Jiangcui inherited the memory of the original owner, and knows the preciousness of the thousand-year-old ginseng. It is no exaggeration to say that it is hard to buy. The value of a few roots is enough to buy a small house in the bustling area of ​​the county.

Feeling Chai Jian's concern for her, Chai Jiangcui's heart couldn't help but feel warm. It seems that her time travel has a good start.

After a brief touch, the father and daughter chatted briefly for a while, and they mostly talked about trivial matters. Relying on the memory in their minds, Chai Jiangcui successfully fooled the past.

A quarter of an hour later, Chai Jian stood up from his chair again, ready to leave.

Now that his daughter is awake, it's time for him to go back to work. As a county parent officer, he has a heavy burden on him.

But at the moment when Chai Jian turned around to leave, Chai Jiangcui suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes,

"Daddy, can you tell me a question, how are the people who were attacked at the poetry meeting with me two days ago, how are they doing now?"

After thinking for a long time, Chai Jiangcui still couldn't help asking out her doubts. After all, the black wind in the memory of the original owner left a deep impression on her.

Hearing his daughter's question, Chai Jian froze on the spot and didn't look back immediately.

After being silent for more than ten breaths, Chai Jian sighed leisurely, turned his head slowly,
"Forty-two people who went to the poetry meeting died, and more than 42 people fell into a coma. You are the only one so far who is awake.

It's not that I didn't want to tell you before Tweety, it's just that even if I know some things, it's hard to change.

There are some things that we mortals cannot deal with.But don't think too much about it, there is evil and good in this world, Wu Dewei's people have already gone to investigate, I believe there will be results in two days. "

Wu Dewei?Chai Jiangcui was a little confused, she had just searched through her memory, but she could not find any description about Wu Dewei.

"Dare to ask Dad what Wu Dewei is, why have I never heard of this department in the county?"

Now that he has already planned to tell his beloved daughter, Chai Jian will naturally not hide it anymore, and he replied kindly:

"Wu Dewei is a special department set up by the imperial court. It is under the direct control of His Majesty. It specializes in dealing with monsters and ghosts that ordinary people cannot deal with. The reason why the people of Dayan Kingdom can live and work in peace and contentment is due to Wu Dewei."

When it comes to Wu Dewei, Chai Jian's expression is a bit solemn, and he admires these guardians hidden in the dark from the bottom of his heart.

"Okay, you know these things and forget them, try not to spread them. If you are really interested in these things, you can go to Dad's study. There are some books on this subject on the top of the innermost bookshelf. "

After finishing speaking, Chai Jian stepped out of the room directly. He knew that Chai Jiangcui would be very shocked when he knew this kind of information for the first time, so he withdrew decisively and left, leaving her alone for a while.

However, Chai Jian obviously underestimated Chai Jiangcui's psychological endurance. As a traveler from the earth, Chai Jiangcui quickly accepted the unusual reality of this world, apart from being shocked at first.

"I didn't expect that this is actually a world with extraordinary beings, but I don't know how strong those extraordinary beings are."

Recalling the scene of the black wind raging at the poetry meeting, Chai Jiangcui couldn't help but feel a little powerless.

"Ordinary people really have nothing to resist in front of those existences."

With a wry smile, Chai Jiangcui put his head back under the quilt again, like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.

Half an hour later, Zi Huan walked in with a bowl of hot shredded chicken porridge, successfully saving her stomach that had been empty for a long time.

After eating and drinking enough, Chai Jiangcui felt that her body recovered some strength, and she didn't plan to lie on the bed any longer. She got dressed and walked out of the boudoir accompanied by Zihuan.

Although he received the original owner's memory, Chai Jiangcui couldn't help but want to go out and see this different magical world for himself when he first came here.

In Chai Mansion, a tall sycamore tree is planted, and in the center of the courtyard, there is a small rockery garden.

It is now late autumn, and there are only a few withered yellow leaves left on the sycamore tree. A gust of wind blows, and a few remaining leaves flutter down like yellow butterflies.
With the geese flying in the clear sky, there is a sense of loneliness.

However, the autumn flowers in the rockery garden are still in full bloom in the cold wind, and the delicate flower stalks sway with the wind, adding a lot of vitality to the empty courtyard.

After wandering around Chai Mansion, and returning to the plane tree, Chai Jiangcui reached out and gently caught a fallen leaf,
"The autumn wind is bleak and the weather is cool, and the grass and trees are shaking with dew. It's a pity that there are ghosts and ghosts in such a beautiful world."

Carefully looking at the fallen leaves in her hands, Chai Jiang Cuimi's eyes flashed with strange light. Since God gave her a chance to be reborn, she must cherish it.

In this world, if she wanted to live and survive, at least she had to gain the power to protect herself. She didn't want to die for no reason again.

Gently throwing down the fallen leaves in his hands, Chai Jiangcui suddenly said:

"Zihuan, prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath."

Zihuan, who had been following her all along, was a little surprised when she heard the words, and hurriedly spoke to dissuade her:

"Miss, you just woke up now, and your bones are a little weak. I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to take a bath now."

"Don't talk nonsense, I tell you to go and you go."

Seeing Chai Jiangcui's insistence, Zihuan's mouth moved, and she didn't dare to continue to persuade, so she obediently went down to prepare hot water.

Half an hour later, in Chai Jiangcui's room, a huge wooden barrel filled with hot water was placed, and there were still a lot of light yellow flower petals floating on the water.

Chai Jiangcui refused Zihuan's request to serve, and entered the boudoir alone.

After closing the door, she took out the small porcelain bottle hidden by the bedside, poured out a marrow washing pill, and swallowed it with tea.

As soon as the Xisui Dan entered the abdomen, a heart-penetrating coolness came from the dantian.

Immediately, Chai Jiangcui felt a slight itching all over her body.
She reached out to touch her face, and it was greasy. It seemed that the so-called acquired dirt had been expelled from the pores.

"This medicine works so fast."

Silently complaining, Chai Jiangcui didn't delay any longer, took off his clothes directly, jumped into the wooden barrel and quietly felt the power of the marrow washing pill.

After a stick of incense time passed, the coolness surrounding the dantian gradually dissipated.

Chai Jiangcui opened her eyes again, and found that everything in front of her was a little different.

Everything you see becomes clearer.Lowering your head slightly, you can clearly see the texture on the barrel.

Lowering her eyes, she pushed aside the floating petals, and from the light misty water surface, Chai Jiangcui saw her current appearance,
The black and soft blue hair clings to the neck of the goose, the skin is like fat, red lips and white teeth, handsome eyebrows and beautiful eyes, there seem to be stars in the pupils, just like the fairy in the painting.

Reaching out to touch her face, Chai Jiangcui couldn't believe it.

Although the body she passed through was considered a beauty in her memory, but now her skin is not only much better, but she also has an inexplicable fairy air in every gesture.

The change seems to be a bit big!

Chai Jiangcui scratched her head in distress. In the future, if someone with good intentions ranks Yingya County as one of the four beauties, she will definitely be on the list with her appearance.

"Tsk tsk, I don't know how many young talents will fall in love with me at first sight, what a beauty."

With a sigh of narcissism, Chai Jiangcui left the barrel and changed into the clean clothes that had been prepared.

Now is the time to test, what is so magical about this innate body.

"Miss, have you finished your bath? Hey, miss, why do I think you have become more beautiful after bathing?"

Zihuan, who was standing at the door waiting, heard the door open, and hurried over, but after seeing Chai Jiangcui's face, little stars appeared in her eyes.

Chai Jiangcui pushed her away calmly, and said softly:
"It's normal to look a little prettier after bathing, and there's no need to make a fuss."

"But, miss is really beautiful now, hey, where are you going, miss, wait for me..."

……

With the purple ring, Chai Jiangcui walked briskly towards the side courtyard of Chai Mansion.

The side courtyard of Chai Mansion is usually the place where servants and guards live. There is also a large martial arts arena here, which is specially used for the guards to practice martial arts.

The reason why I went there was because Chai Jiangcui wanted to see how powerful the so-called martial arts in this world really are.

……

Chaifu side courtyard, martial arts arena
More than a dozen guards are training in full swing, and the guard commander Liu Danian is nervously accompanying Chai Jiangcui at this moment, introducing her to the guards on the martial arts arena.

When the guards on the field saw the eldest lady approaching, they all tried their best to express themselves.

The guards are also divided into ranks, and the treatment of ordinary guards is very different from that of the personal guards of the Chai family.

Who doesn't know that the master of the Chai family loves the eldest lady the most, and if he is lucky enough to get into her eyes and become her personal guard, he doesn't know how many benefits he can get.

Chai Jiangcui watched her hard work off the court, her lips parted slightly,
"Liu Zongwei, I don't know how high your martial arts is in the martial arts world?"

Liu Danian didn't dare to neglect the eldest lady's question, and said respectfully:

"Don't dare to lie to Missy. Although I, Mr. Liu, is not top-notch in martial arts, I have never slacked off in the past 20 years. A martial arts can be regarded as first-class in the world. Usually, a hundred or so strong men with weapons can easily do it." put down."

Speaking of this, Liu Danian couldn't help showing a hint of arrogance in his eyes, first-class masters, even in the Jianghu, can open a museum and accept apprentices.

"Oh?"

Liu Danian's strength aroused Chai Jiangcui's interest, and she continued to ask:

"Then how is the strength of warriors divided in the Jianghu? Can martial arts be able to fight against demons?"

"The division of martial arts is actually rather vague. Most of the so-called first-, second- and third-rate fighters are fought by their own fists. If there are more people who recognize your strength, you will naturally become a first-rate master.

Above the first-class fighters, there are martial arts masters whose inner strength runs through the whole body.Legend has it that the martial arts master has the ability to take the head of a general among thousands of troops.Each of them is a famous figure in the world.

Martial arts practitioners are full of energy and blood, and ordinary evil spirits dare not approach.As for whether he could fight against the demons, it might be difficult. "

Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Chai Jiangcui's eyes, she was still a little moved by what Zhang Danian said earlier.

But when he heard that he couldn't deal with demons, Chai Jiangcui seemed a little uninterested.

It seems that if you want to deal with demons and ghosts, you can't rely on ordinary power after all.

Chai Jiangcui didn't plan to stay in the martial arts field after hearing the news he wanted, so he said goodbye to Liu Danian and left with Zihuan.

……

"Miss, would you like to sit on the swing in the flower gallery?"

After leaving the martial arts arena, Zihuan keenly noticed that Chai Jiangcui seemed a little unhappy, so she asked tentatively.

On weekdays, when Chai Jiangcui is unhappy, she always likes to sit on the swing in the flower gallery of Chai Mansion. When the swing swings, her mood will naturally improve.

"Well, go to the flower gallery and sit down."

Although she was not interested in swinging, Chai Jiangcui chose to sit for a while in order not to make Zihuan suspicious. Anyway, the flower gallery is not far from Chai Jian's study.

After taking a break, I happened to go to the study to read books about the records of gods and ghosts.

However, before he had gone far, Chai Jiangcui's footsteps suddenly stopped,
She saw an old servant passing by in front of her, who seemed to be riding a phantom exuding a faint black air.

The phantom's head was pressed against the old servant's head, as if it wanted to merge with him, but the strange thing was that the old servant who was holding the clothes to wash didn't notice it at all.

"Gudong~"

Chai Jiangcui swallowed hard, turned to look at Zihuan, and asked tentatively:

"Zi Huan, did you see anything strange just now?"

"Strange things? No, miss, we are in the mansion, so there are no strange things."

Zihuan was a little puzzled, but she answered honestly.

Looking at the old servant in front of him, Chai Jiangcui confirmed that he was not mistaken.Could it be that his so-called innate body can see evil spirits that ordinary people can't see?
"Nothing, maybe I was wrong."

Calmly looking away, to confirm that he did not attract the attention of the phantom, Chai Jiangcui turned and continued towards the direction of the flower gallery.

However, after arriving near the flower corridor, Chai Jiangcui did not go in, but continued to circle around the huge Chai Mansion with Zihuan full of doubts.

Even the kitchen and the waterside pond with few people, Chai Jiangcui went around twice, and finally stopped when it was getting dark.

Sitting on the stone bench, Chai Jiangcui was fiddling with the daisies she picked at random, feeling a little uneasy.

In the deliberate search just now, Chai Jiangcui found a total of six maids and old servants who were possessed by phantoms of black energy. As for whether there are still others that have not been discovered, Chai Jiangcui is not sure.

If there was only one, it might be said that the servant accidentally messed with something dirty, but there are so many at once, no matter how accidental it is, it doesn't make sense.

Someone is using magic against the Chai family!

Thinking of this, Chai Jiangcui couldn't help but feel a trace of fear.

She had only traveled here for less than a day, and she broke through this conspiracy against a county magistrate. This world is indeed too dangerous.

"Hey, now I can only see if my father can deal with it."

Sighing, the feeling of knowing the conspiracy but being powerless to break it is really bad.
