Chapter 46 - Cuihua Column and Iron Bull
Chapter 46
The embers of the fire were gradually extinguished, and a red-eyed mouse emerged from the hole in the corner of the wall. After digging in the fire, a bead covered with black ash was tossed out, and he wanted to run back into the hole after holding it in his mouth.
The moment he turned his head, a pair of dust-free boots appeared in front of him.
squeak–
The man stepped on the mouse under his feet, and the beads it held in its mouth rolled out all the way.
Chu Ci wrapped his hands in a handkerchief, picked up the bead and wiped off the black ash on it, but saw that the bead was crystal clear and glowed with a faint golden light.
“My lord, what are the beads that the rat digs out of?”
Chu Ci curiously presented the beads.
Xiao Jue glanced at it: “Gongdezhu.”
“The eldest princess said earlier that the rat stole the incense, is this what the incense was made of?” Chu Ci was amazed, “But how do you know, my lord?”
Xiao Jue didn’t answer, he pressed his foot hard, and the red-eyed mouse lost its breath.
“Burn it.”
Chu Ci didn’t dare to delay, and after setting the fire and throwing the mouse’s body into the fire, he turned his head and saw that Xiao Jue had walked all the way, and hurriedly chased after him.
“My lord, what should I do with this merit pearl?”
“Keep it for now, it will be returned to the original owner in the future.”
Return to the original owner? to whom? The sister Yama in the hall?
Chu Ci silently wrapped the beads and stuffed them into his sleeve pockets, thinking that the eldest princess had become very different from the past during this time, not to mention that even the prince seemed to have changed a bit.
It is said that the eldest princess did that thing to him on the boat. According to the temperament of the prince in the past, I am afraid that His Royal Highness that princess has long since returned to Jiuyou?
But not to mention that she is alive and well, the prince’s attitude towards her is still ambiguous.
There are also strange things along the way. In Chu Ci’s impression, his prince was the most scornful of these strange things in the past, and he had never read any books of strange sects, so how could he be so clear about these?
“My lord, I dare to ask. Are you really planning to marry His Royal Highness the eldest princess?”
Xiao Jue glanced at him lightly, his eyes dark and unpredictable.
“Are you dissatisfied with her?”
Chu Ci cautiously continued: “I don’t dare to be in a humble position, but… there are many strange things inside and outside the palace during this time, all of which seem to be related to this eldest princess.”
“Du Mingyue’s death is very strange, but all the servants who have gone to her Qianqiu Palace to have troubles will not end well after they leave. They either die or suffer from hysteria. After she left the palace, this happened one after another… What’s more, she was a female liar, It’s strange that it is the honor of the princess who knows all these things like the back of the hand.”
Chu Ci said for a while, observed the expression of his own prince, and said boldly: “Everyone in the palace said that the eldest princess seems to have changed a person, prince, do you think she should not…”
Xiao Jue finally had some reaction and looked at him with a half-smile.
Chu Ci hurriedly fell silent.
“Do you think this king has changed during this time?”
Chu Ci was taken aback, and hurriedly said: “I don’t dare to be a humble post, and besides, how can the prince be like her…”
“It’s nothing different.” Xiao Jue whispered to himself.
Chu Ci didn’t hear clearly, he lowered his head in a panic, and said, “My humble job is to worry about the lord. This eldest princess is really weird, and the lord has something to do with her…” It may not be a good thing.
“I remembered something after meeting her.”
Chu Ci raised his head, wondering in his heart, what did the lord remember? He and Lingfeng have followed the prince since they were young. If there is something you forget, just ask him and Lingfeng directly.
There was a faint smile on Xiao Jue’s mouth, and the drooping eyes covered the turbulence at the bottom of his eyes. Others really couldn’t help him recall some memories except that girl.
On the way to the back mountain, Chu Ci couldn’t help shivering, and muttered: “It’s really evil, why did it get cold again after leaving Donghua Temple?”
Yes.
Xiao Jue raised his head and looked at a group of wandering spirits passing by him, his eyes moved faintly.
With so many ghosts around, it would naturally not be warm.
The source of the sky-high ghost gas seen at the bottom of the mountain is on the back mountain, right?
Speaking of which, his ability to see the **** seems to have originated after that night on the boat.
Xiao Jue laughed silently. After that day, there were many strange and fragmented memories in his mind. The more he came into contact with Tsing Yi, the more complete those memories became.
This morning, he hit her in a rage, and involuntarily devoured some strange powers that originated from her, and those fragmented memories became clearer and more vivid.
almost.
Soon he could remember who he really was.
…
Tsing Yi stood on a field ridge, looked at the houses, and looked up at the sky.
What a ghost!
The wandering ghosts from this ten-mile radius have all gathered here.
Qiu Yu rubbed his neck, he felt uncomfortable as soon as he climbed the back mountain, especially since it was like a stone was pressed against his neck, and it was difficult to raise his head.
Tsing Yi looked at him.
A little ghost hangs behind Qiu Yu’s neck and keeps shaking his head.
“Get off.”
With Qingyin together, the kid jumped off Qiu Yu in fright.
call……
Finally relieved, Qiu Yu raised her head to meet Tsing Yi’s gloomy gaze, and couldn’t help but be nervous: “Did the princess just speak to a lowly position?”
Tsing Yi ignored him, and instead asked, “When did you meet someone?”
Qiu Yu didn’t know what to say about her birth date, and Tsing Yi snorted. If the character is so light, it’s hard for ghosts to remember him, but it’s hard for this kid to live to this age and still be in an official position.
He bent down and grabbed the fat cat on the ground and threw it on him.
Ouch, Master Cat rolled his eyes.
“Hold it.”
Qiu Yu took it in a hurry, one person and one cat looking at each other.
Fat Cat: Stupid!
Qiu Yu grinned, because Mao thought that the cat’s eyes looked down on people?
Holding Uncle Cat in his arms honestly, Qiu Yu suddenly felt a lot warmer. He couldn’t see it, and the wandering ghosts around him who were smelling the yang energy on his body gathered in succession when they saw the fat cat in his arms, all of them scattered.
Dog Dan and the ghost of Pharaoh next door stood next to them, and they looked particularly abrupt under the gaze of a pair of ghost eyes.
The wandering ghosts on the back mountain all look like children, the little ghosts who have been attracted by the ghost village’s gathering formation over the months.
Naturally, the three tall men not far away also stood out against the backdrop of a group of goblins. Tsing Yi tilted her head and asked the old king next door, “From your village?”
The old king next door nodded.
“That’s good, you have to find acquaintances to do things.” Tsing Yi smiled with satisfaction, “Go and arrest them.”
The old king next door looked shocked, catch? ! Doesn’t this make him completely betray the master?
But if you don’t catch…
The old king next door looked at the wicked woman opposite her gradually impatient smile, and guessed that if he dared to violate her words, he would only be as utterly ashes as the rat!
Cuihua, Dazhu, Tieniu… Pharaoh can only be sorry for you today!
Although the old king next door looked at him, he was able to come out on top in the fierce competition of fellow ghosts. Being promoted as a follower by the demon boss is no better than the one who can only issue orders to these wandering ghosts on the top of the mountain. powerful.
After a while, Cuihua, Dazhu, and Tie Niu three ghosts knelt in front of Tsing Yi.
The six pairs of ghost eyes stared at Pharaoh next door resentfully, with a sense of urgency.
“Be honest, what are you going to do when the monster asked you to attract so many ghosts on the mountain?”
