Chapter 39 The Soul of the Sparrow House
I don't know how long I slept, but Xia Qiu's mind gradually woke up. She opened her eyes with painstakingly and found that she was still lying in the previous place with no strength. After trying many times, she finally got up.
Looking around the whole room, she always felt that there was something wrong. She also clearly remembered the situation in the room before she lay down. At that time, the room was still in a mess, and books and items were still scattered on the ground. At this moment, the room was different. Everything was well placed on the shelf. Did anyone sort it out when she fell asleep? Pass here? This abnormal feeling surged into an inexplicable fear in her body. Although her feet were still very soft, she could not take care of so much. She just wanted to see the situation of other people in the house.
She leaned against the wall and walked to the room outside and found that the furnishings there were also very neat and even spotless. However, Qianqi, Fenghuo and Ouyang Hongye disappeared. At this time, her body was slightly more flexible than before. When she walked to the platform outside the house, she could not find Ouyang Xiao Leng and Wangyue. In a hurry, she looked around from the platform, but she could not find them anywhere.
She tried to shout their names, but there was no sound in her throat. At this time, she realized that it was night when she fell asleep, but now it was daytime. What the hell is going on? Where did everyone else go? She didn't feel that she had slept for so long, and she didn't believe that they would leave behind! She was thinking about these problems, but she saw a black smoke in the air in the distance. The smoke was like a dark cloud flying at a low altitude, but more like ink that had just dripped into the water. As soon as it was slowly released in the water, it condensed and then released. In this way, it repeatedly hit her direction and came to her in a blink of an eye. In front of.
She didn't have time to dodge at all. Just when she thought she was about to be surrounded by this dark cloud, the dark shadow passed through her body, as if she didn't exist, and only felt a cool breeze blowing. She hurriedly turned around and saw that the dark shadow quickly transformed into an adult in the sparrow's house. Only then did she realize that the black smoke like ink had just now. It was the person who had attacked her and was suspected to be called the black meteorite under Qingyun. Is this her dream? She didn't understand why she dreamed of this person, but she had an intuition to tell her that it was not a dream.
When she was sure that the suspected black meteorite could not feel her presence at all, she was relieved and began to observe his every move. He dusted the dust on his black cloak, then picked up the teapot from the short table, filled a cup, took it to his mouth and drank it up, and then poured another cup, so even Three cups, it looks like it's coming from somewhere.
When he put down his cup and walked to the inner room, Xia Qiu also followed him and walked in. Seeing that he picked up a book from the shelf and sat on the chair next to him, she quickly turned over and looked over to see what he was reading, but unfortunately the words on the book were like symbols, and she didn't recognize any of them, but she seemed to I saw it in Yongchuan, Wangcheng. The book looked very old. She guessed that it was left by the former owner of Zangquetai. The man frowned for a while and closed the book. It seemed that he did not find what he needed in the book. He put the book back on the shelf and took another one to look. After turning through many books like this, his eyes were fixed on a black book. It took him a long time to read the book. It was not until there was a sound from the outside that he closed the book, and a black wolf slowly came in.
It bowed its head respectfully to him in a completely anthropomorphic movements and said. Leader, as Lord Qingyun predicted, the people in Wangcheng are moving in this direction. It is estimated that they will arrive here at night. Please leave as soon as possible to avoid shocking the snakes and attracting the attention of Lord Qingyun.
After hearing this, he asked, "I know. You go back first. I will leave here later and return to Lord Qingyun. In addition, Lord Qingyun and others don't know anything about me here, do you?"
"Yes, don't worry! Then my subordinates retreat first!" The black wolf lowered his head deeply again, and then retreated away from the sparrow house.
After the black wolf left, he reluctantly looked at the black book in his hand. Xia Qiu also took this opportunity to try his best to remember the shapes of several symbols on the cover of the book, and then he hesitated to stuff the book into the inner pocket of his cloak. The next scene seemed to be the reason why the house was messy when they came to this room and deliberately pretended to be uninhabited. He threw all the things in the shelf to the ground and destroyed the furniture in the room as much as possible, making the room outside look messy. After that, he reviewed the room again and made sure that it was not. If there is a omission, the dust will go away.
Xia Qiu tried to follow him, because she felt that as long as she followed him, she might know Qingyun's hiding place, but as soon as she followed the outside room and wanted to fly away from the platform with him, she was pulled back by a mysterious force, which was like a fan, spinning and pulling her back to the inner room where she was lying. She was also I lost consciousness at the same time.
When she opened her eyes again, she found that a pair of gray-blue pupils were looking at her. Ouyang Xiao Leng was lying on the ground not far from her, not even covering a blanket. As soon as he saw her wake up, he first turned his face unnaturally to one side, and then realized that it was more embarrassing to do so. He turned around again. There was a kind of gentleness on his face that was usually rare. The two stared at each other quietly without saying anything.
This subtlety inevitably moved her heart, but then she began to suspect that this was just another dream of her. After all, all the beauty in front of her was a little unreal. She stretched out her hand and leaned into his face. He looked at her in surprise, but still let her hand touch his cheek. She felt his temperature and looked at the ground behind him, which still looked messy, just like when she came. Then she was sure that she had really returned to the real world.
However, the beauty in front of her was shattered by everything she had just experienced. This was not the first time that she felt like a soul separation. She had a similar experience in the Yongchuan Forest before. Like a dream, the soul seemed to travel into another time and space. That sense of depression and fear suffocated her.
Ouyang Xiao Leng saw her uneasiness. He sat up and rubbed his slightly painful eyes because he hadn't slept all night. He looked at her doubtfully and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I had a strange dream... Maybe it's not a dream. I don't know if I should talk to Hongye!"
Xia Qiu also sat up. Because she couldn't define what the feeling was, she became a little incoherent, but she still turned out a blank piece of paper under the shelf and tried to draw the symbols or words on the cover of the book she saw based on her memory.
She pushed the painted paper to Ouyang Xiao Leng and asked, "Can you recognize what this is?"
He took it over and replied in surprise, "This is an ancient demon world, similar to the oracle bone in the human world. I seem to have seen these words somewhere." He felt that they must have flashed in front of him, but he couldn't remember where they came from for a while, so he asked, "What else did you see besides this?"
Xia Qiu's face showed a more frightened expression and said, "I saw the person who appeared in this room, I mean the person who appeared here before us. He got the news before we arrived and hurriedly left here."
"What kind of person appears here?"
"It is very likely that the person who once attacked me in Yongchuan - Black Meter. He has been reading the books on this shelf before, as if he is looking for something. Finally, one of them caught his attention. I couldn't understand the content of the book, so I only remembered the symbols on the cover," she pointed to the paper she had just handed to Xiao Leng, and then continued, "At this time, a black wolf came in from the outside and told him that the people of the royal city were as Qingyun said. He will arrive here and let him hurry back to the place where they are stationed, so as not to startle the snake and make Qingyun unhappy.
She tried her best to repeat the words she heard in her dream to Ouyang Xiao Leng. After listening to it, he pondered for a while. He couldn't tell what the meaning of her dream was, but his intuition told him that the dream was not as simple as it seemed. He believed that if it was just an ordinary dream, it would not make her so uneasy. He also heard about the black meteorite. He only knew that in the era of his grandfather Ouyang Li, this person had not yet appeared. When his father Ouyang Xueye was in charge of the demon world, he suddenly became a general of Qingyun. He had a deterring speed, a big knife enough to cut everything, and an unknown mystery. In short, it's a mysterious character. Unlike Qingyun's other subordinates, he never tortures and insults those who lose to him. Even if he is an enemy, he gives enough respect. No one can figure out his details. His strength, speed and fighting style are extremely different. Unlike any demon, even Lord Yong and other elders of the demon world can't tell his origin.
Do you think I should tell Hongye about this? Will it be a bit of a fuss? Maybe it's just a dream." Xia Qiu expressed her concerns and uneasiness.
"Did they mention where Qingyun's residence is?" He was not in a hurry to answer his question. Even if he was not sure, he asked with a glimmer of hope.
She replied with some frustration, "No, they didn't say. I wanted to go with them, but I just left the sparrow house as if I had been pulled back by some kind of force, and then I didn't know anything."
"I think we should talk to Hongye, because it sounds like a Qingming dream."
Ouyang Xiao Leng thinks that Xia Qiu's description is very similar to the Tomb-sweeping Dream, but he has never heard that the Tomb-sweeping Dream can know what happened at different moments in the same space
"What is the Tomb-sweeping Dream?" Xia Qiu heard another word that was quite strange to her.
"The Tomb-sweeping Dream, also known as the soul, is a dream made when the consciousness is clear. Dreamers will be very clear that they are in the dream and can think normally. A few people will think more agile than usual in the Tomb-sweeping Dream. Fewer people can do whatever they want in the Tomb-sweeping Dream and create themselves. What you want, see the people you want to see. Ouyang Xiao Leng explained.
