Chapter 80
In reality, the Du familys ancestral hall was tightly guarded, with a group of family servants patrolling at the door. It was not easy to enter, but this couldnt stop Yun Xie. He directly drew a wall-piercing charm on the roof and jumped in lightly.
The light inside was dim, and rows of memorial tablets were neatly arranged. Among them was one for the newly deceased Du Xian. Yun Xie picked up his tablet and looked at it for a long time. Finding no abnormalities, he put it back in place.
However, as he put it back, he inadvertently pressed the altar with his hand and immediately felt something was wrong: it felt a bit rough, as if it had some patterns carved on it.
Using his finger, Yun Xie drew a weird pattern on the desktop. AXun, have you seen this?
This table was made from jade, but with a light swipe from Yun Xie, it could be etched into like mud, and it quickly showed a clear image.
Jiang Xunyi took a closer look, then hesitated. Its a bit familiar
Yun Xie knew that Jiang Xunyi had always had an amazing memory. If he could not remember the specific appearance for something he has seen, the encounter must have been an extremely instantaneous accident or it was from someone who would not put him on guard at all.
He patted the back of Jiang Xunyis hand, and said softly, Its okay, its not very important. If you cant think of it, then dont worry too much. Ill move on. After I discovered this pattern, it was naturally confirmation that something was strange about the altar, so I knocked up and down, and I realized that there was a hollow space.
Jiang Xunyi replied, You opened it and found this mirror inside? Besides the mirror, there should be other things, right?
Yun Xie gave him a thumbs up. In fact, on the inside was a memorial tablet was being worshipped. The mirror was just pulled from the base. The name on the tablet is
Jiang Xunyi blurted out, Du Qi!
Yes, its Du Ruis late brother, Du Qi. Im just confused: since his death is something everyone knows, why should only his tablet be hidden? But If he is not dead, why should he get a memorial tablet?
Jiang Xunyi raised his hand and touched the pattern Yun Xie had just painted on the table. Under his spiritual power, the area once again turned smooth. With deep meaning in his voice, he said, In this world, there is not only the dead and living
Suddenly, the energy of the system increased again.
Jiang Xunyi:
In this world, there was truly not only the living and dead, as there were also living corpses, zombies[1], and detached souls So did he unintentionally pry into a big secret of the universe?He had finally lowered the energy value of the system slightly, and now it had risen back a lot just because he ran his mouth.
AXun? Yun Xie shook his hand. What are you thinking?
JiangXunyi came back to hissenses, put this matter aside for the time being, and said casually, Nothing. I just dont think we are saying anything that Yu Hong and the others cannot listen to. Why do you want to say it privately? Yu Hong is good in all aspects, but he is a little short-sighted. In fact, he should listen more.
Yun Xie replied, Its nothing. However, those two are too stupid. After I speak, they will definitely ask questions. Its too bothersome and Im too lazy to explain.
Jiang Xunyi immediately agreed with him. Youre right. In fact, I am also too lazy to explain.
Yun Xie smiled and fluttered his eyelashes, lowering hisvoice slightly. Furthermore, although there is nothing they cant listen to, there are still things they cant see.
In Jiang Xunyi s momentary pause, Yun Xie had already pulled him into his arms.
Yun Xie, you
He couldnt say the following words, because Yun Xies lips had already covered his own, and the two of them stumbled for a few steps before falling on the bed all at once.
Jiang Xunyi was a little dizzy and instinctively tried to get up, but Yun Xies shoulders pressed against him, and he whispered into his ear, AXun, this is originally a bridal chamber.
His sash was loosened, and the lapels of his clothes suddenly fell open. Yun Xie slipped his hand past the cloth and his cool fingers touched the skin of Jiang Xunyis waist. He slowly stroked up from his abdomen to the back of his waist, gently lifting his body.
Jiang Xunyis complexion was extremely white, and in Yun Xies eyes, everything other than his skin was overwhelming red: the robes, the bedding, and the veil. This expanse of red and white was better than a world of color.
It was daytime, and the bed was covered with sunlight, which caused people to feel unreasonable shame.Jiang Xunyi couldnt help covering his eyes with one arm, but Yun Xie firmly grasped his wrist and pulled it down.
AXun, look at me.
Jiang Xunyi tilted his head slightly. He could feel Yun Xies hot breath on his neck, his wet lips pressing on his collarbone. His senses were magnified infinitely, and yet the others hand just kept stroking his waist. Jiang Xunyi finally burst with irritation from his indescribable loss of control, and he squeezed out a few words. If you are going to then hurry up!
But there wasnt a trace of a teasing tone in Yun Xies voice, and as his hand fumbled downwards, his voice was so soft that it seemed like water was about to drip out. Dont move, AXun, let me see your injury
Jiang Xunyi was stunned. Yun Xies voice carried a note of distress that was hard to detect. Actually, I saw that you seemed to be in a lot of pain last time I really feel AXun, let me see if your injury has healed. Dont worry, this time I wont
It has already healed. After the silence, Jiang Xunyi suddenly stretched out his hand and took the initiative to wrap his arms around Yun Xies neck. I am willing.
WhenJiang Xunyi woke up, the sky outside was already dark. In the shadows, he heard something rustling, the sound so soft that it might have been nothing.
Jiang Xunyi shifted, and the arm that lay across his chest patted him softly through the quilt. Yun Xie said, Woke up?
Jiang Xunyi hummed in agreement. You didnt sleep?
He paused, raised his upper body again, and leaned over Yun Xie to lift the curtain to glance at the chaotic sky outside the window. Its snowing?
Yun Xies voice was a little cheerful. Yes, this years first snow. He squeezed Jiang Xunyis hand into his arms, and sighed with a chuckle, How can I sleep with someone by my side?
Pei, then you dont need to sleep anymore in the future. Jiang Xunyi sat up and pulled the robes by his side over to dress. Since you are not asleep, why didnt you get up to catch the thief?
Yun Xie also got up to help him tidy up hisclothes. He smiled as he said, Whats the urgency? I can even wait for another half of an incense to burn up.
The sound of fine footsteps in snow kept getting closer and closer, and Jiang Xunyi picked up his coat only to find that it had been ripped into dregs. He couldnt help but roll his eyes at Yun Xie, who smiled and made a gesture of surrender before he passed his coat over.
Jiang Xunyi trembled in disgust, but put it on his body.
At this moment, an indescribable change suddenly took over the room. There was no sound from the door or windows, but the flow of air seemed to become faster.It seemed that there was something meandering along the ground, and it was approaching silently.
After such a long time, Jiang Xunyi eyes had already been able to adapt to the darkness. He silently mouthed to Yun Xie, Where is the mirror?
Yun Xie smiled slightly, pointed to the table outside the tent, and stretched his hand to the pillow calmly, touching Kun Wu.
The buttons on Yun Xies coat were very complicated, and it was even more difficult to handle in the dark. Jiang Xunyi raised his chin at Yun Xie to hand the matter to him, buttoning his coat by himself and ignoring the movement outside.
Suddenly, there was a soft ca sound, and a bluish-white hand emerged from the ground out of thin air, five fingers forming claws and darting straight towards the mirror on the table!
At this moment, the curtain of the bed swayed, and Yun Xie flew out, his sword like a shooting star as it slashed down on that hand. At the same time, his feet stamped in the position of the five elements[2], instantly sealing the retreat path.
The hand immediately shrunk back, but two fingers had already been cut off, and it quickly sunk back underground.
Yun Xie leaned back and thrust his blade into the ground, coldly shouting, Get out!
A cracksound rang out as the ground split open, and a figure in black clothes emerged from the fissure. He squeezed past Yun Xie like a loach, rushed to the door, but stopped suddenly.
Jiang Xunyi stood at the door with his hands clasped behind his back. The slightly large white clothes lost its gentleness when worn by him, gaining a few degrees of elegance instead. He said flatly, Take off the mask.
The mantook astep back in shock, then he suddenly reacted, raising his hand and sending a whip right at Jiang Xunyis face like a snake. He waved his sleeve to prevent the attack, and the collision caused a Pa sound to ring out.
Yun Xie was only in his middle robe, and he shouted from the back, Hey, AXun, be careful! This is the last outer robe we can wear!
His shout was so loud, even the black-clothed persons movements paused.
Jiang Xunyi gritted his teeth. Then you go to Du Li to ask for a new one! Stop acting; thanks to you, is there anyone who doesnt know what is going on with us?
Yun Xie had just laughed when his expression twisted and he shouted, Be careful!
At the same time, he drew an arc in midair with his right hand and threw the Kun Wu sword at the man in black.
It turns out that the ruckus caused by Yun Xie had attracted everyone, and the fastest one was Rou Rou. The man in black seemed to be afraid to fight Jiang Xunyi, and he suddenly spun around and rushed at Rou Rou.
Yun Xies rescue was very timely: the sword split the opponent in half. What he didnt expect was that a man in black turned into two in an instant, and one of them snapped the whip towards Yun Xie, and the other continued to rush towards Rou Rou.
Yun Xie caught his sword and said in surprise, Is this thing a man or a ghost?
The author has something to say:
In addition, I would like to ask a small question. If this story is over, would you like an extra to be released in the middle? ?Its about when the young Yun Yun found out that he likes Little Jiang.Or do you want it after the story is over?
