Chapter 7 Unknown City
I finally couldn't see the two chief priests, as if I couldn't fly to the priest's temple. There seems to be only one way in his head, that is, how to get back to his bedroom. I don't know what spell he put on me again?
It took a few more days in such a daze.
For the first time, he actually showed up when I was having dinner. It was still planned and prepared an extra point for everything.
"Do you still need to eat?" I deliberately put chopsticks in my mouth and muttered, but my heart was full of curiosity.
"Hmm. When I was very young, I ate it. As he buried his head in the soup, he muttered like me. Then, he looked up and stretched out his tongue to lick the residual juice on his mouth, looking very satisfied.
"You, haven't you eaten something from the world for a long time?" I remember what he said that night. If he is not a human, will he have other hobbies, such as eating worms or something?
He stared at me, as if he had guessed my mind. He turned his eyes and said, "What else do you think I will eat?"
The charming eyes seem to have a trace of imperceptible red in black - extremely bright and seductive, but deeply hidden -
I hurriedly avoided his eyes and buried myself in the rice.
His loud laughter filled the whole room.
"Tomorrow, I'll take you out for a walk!" He left this and disappeared again.
I'm still immersed in his eyebrows, which should be charming, with demon **.
The next day.
He said, don't be so flamboyant. So they dressed me like a maid. I'm quite happy with that quiet dress, a white skirt, a light blue tulle skirt, a dark blue belt, casual hanging shoulders, and only a light blue hairband.
But when they took me out of the bedroom, I was completely stunned. Is this going out for a walk in his eyes?
The marginal king city is full of princes and nobles. They are enthusiastically asking each other questions. There will be laughter from the air from time to time. I can hear that they are also looking forward to going out for a walk this time. All kinds of carriages parked on both sides of the road in an orderly manner. The guards and maidservants do what they should do.
I was directly involved in a team of the same suit, standing in the distance, waiting for the order to start. I can't even see how he came out, who came out, or the carriage. Despite this, the mood does not fluctuate much. After all, it's a nice day, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Theteam finally set off slowly. The bodyguards opened the way and surrounded us around us. I followed the maidservant's team and walked happily. The carriages of the nobles were caught in our team, walking one by one. It took most of the day just to walk out of the palace. I finally understand that my little bug may not fly out of the king's palace after flying for decades. It must have been the credit of Linglan to go to the priest's house that night.
Out of the city, the mortal market is vivid in my mind. I was very happy and secretly looked around. I live in Xianyu Mountain with my master all year round. He only takes me down the mountain two or three times a year. I live in a nearby market for four or five days, which is regarded as purchasing some mortal supplies. After all, I am a mortal. When I see my peers, I will naturally linger. But because there is always an old man with long hair and eyebrows surrounded by immortality, they treat me like a fairy. Therefore, I haven't got a brother or sister of the same age so far.
There are many mortals of the same clan, but it's a pity that the master only left me. I'm afraid that mortals of the same age can't be found in this world. When the master met me, I was only three years old, but that was more than 2,000 years ago. For more than two thousand years, the master has carefully adjusted three meals a day and successfully fixed me at the age of seven. Ten years ago, when the master left Xianyu Mountain, I began to grow up naturally. This is very worrying about Grandpa Wen. As soon as he was free, he ran to the kitchen and shouted angrily, "Wuyan old ghost, why are you kidding me? Didn't you mean to take care of a little girl? Why did you grow up by yourself!"
Grandpa Wen's food is not bad, but he can't keep me like a child. For ten years, he asked the fairy to teach me how to be a woman. However, as soon as the fairies saw my flesh and blood, they said a few words in a lukewarmly and walked away. I'm afraid that their fairy bodies are never stained with this flesh and blood, and the fairy fetus is just a shining bead. Grandpa Wen had to send me to the market to learn the so-called women's way with ordinary women.
Grandpa Wen said, "I'm afraid this is the will of your master. Let you grow up, return to your own clan, find a good family, and finish the life of this mortal." But I know that in the past ten years, Grandpa Wen has never given up his cooking research, and often heard him read: "Wyuyan old ghost, I can do what you can do!" Even if I set her at the age of eighty, I will do it. Every time, my forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
I also know that in the past ten years, I have never given up looking for a master. I stayed at the fair between my lovers, but I didn't want to spend my whole life like this.
Master, I'm afraid you didn't expect me to follow your footsteps here.
"Ah!" A woman's soft cry interrupted my wandering.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" I hurriedly reached out and grabbed the crumbling body in front of me and looked at her guiltily. It turned out that the team had stopped, and I instigated and bumped into the maid walking in front of me.
A breeze stroked my ear, and it seemed to hear a familiar sigh, "Alas, your habit of wandering."
The team began to disperse. At this time, I noticed that a lot of onlookers had gathered at the end of the street. Their clothes are no different from what I saw in the market before. It's just the civilian clothes they said. These people looked excited and seemed to be waiting for something.
The nobles of Huafu began to slowly come out of the vehicle. Every time he came out, the people around him shouted respectful words and knelt down devoutly. This is the first time I've seen such a scene, and I'm speechless. In the past, I secretly enjoyed the respect of mortals for fairies, and I was already fluttering. And today, seeing what they enjoy is more than that little reverence?
Suddenly someone kicked me fiercely. I came to my senses. The maid next to me shook her eyes implicitly. I realized that the owner of the carriage beside me was also coming out, so I learned from her, respectfully attached to her, stretched out her hands, and waited to greet - my master.
A cold hand gently rested on my arm and slowly walked out of the carriage. The crowd around began to surge, and the shouting sounded higher than the waves. Then, the second jade hand, the third... Like other maids, I didn't dare to raise my head and breathe. It was like handing over precious items, one by one, and welcomed them all out of the carriage. They are all women, and their hearts are a little empty.
Then we were arranged in a small courtyard of a big mansion. What a big family. They are not particular about food and clothing. Well, I, a little maid, can be divided into a small but elegant guest room, a bed, a table, and tea.
I was relieved, poured a cup of tea, and drank it slowly. When he went out for a walk, he really let me walk all day, non-stop. He couldn't help beating him gently on his thigh and fell asleep lying on the table in a daze.
"I haven't seen anyone for a day. Is this what you said to take me out for a walk?" I muttered to myself in my dream.
There is such a thought in my heart. When I open my eyes, I will see his face with a demon, but I can't always get it.
This folk mansion is very lively, singing and dancing every night. I'm also very busy. A maid is not qualified to be idle - he is letting me experience life.
The royal team began to move forward again, going further south. The mountains and rivers in front of us are like dreams. It is said that the city was formed by the master thousands of years ago. I suddenly felt that the master was really fraternal to them. The city was so perfect. Along the way, although there are rich and poor, no family is happy to live and work in peace and contentment. Do they live in a fantasy or in reality? Doesn't it mean that mortals can go in and out freely, where is this gate?
The team walked and stopped like this, and everywhere it was blindly worshipped. I don't even have the strength to worship them. I fall asleep as soon as I lie down extremely sleepy every night. It's really not easy to be a maid.
Because I'm so tired, I've been sleeping heavily these days. But tonight, I always hear the sound of flowing water in my ears. I groped out of bed to find water to drink.
"Wake up?" His voice came from the dark, and I woke up completely. I saw him sitting diagonally on a large chair not far away. The soft moonlight sprinkled on him, and the slightly open neckline showed the chest muscles against the moonlight, and the extremely beautiful lines. At that moment, I seemed to fall asleep again.
"Huh? Haven't seen enough yet?" With a shallow smile, he deliberately changed a more seductive posture, "Do you want me to get a bright light?"
I suddenly poured my own water, and my mouth whined and didn't know what to say, but I didn't dare to look at him again. A burst of heat penetrated my whole body, and my face turned red.
"You are seductive habits everywhere!" I can finally squeeze out a few words, "It should be changed."
He stood up slowly, and I blurted out, "Don't move! I haven't dressed yet."
He smiled cheerfully, "I thought you were going to say that you haven't taken off your clothes yet."
Only then did I realize that I was so tired last night that I was sleeping with clothes. A burst of blue light lit up in the palm of his hand. I realized that this is not the guest house where I used to sleep, where is it?
I heard the gurgling water again and whispered to him, "Don't waste this short beautiful night."
With that, he flashed to me, like the wind blowing, and then gently, I floated out with him. Suddenly, the eyes lit up. Under the cover of the night, the green mountains and green water revealed a mysterious and quiet beauty. The moonlight shone silver on the surface of the lake and the whisper of flowing water. The breeze was blowing gently on my face, and I couldn't help taking a deep breath and lying softly in his arm.
I think what I am intoxicated with is not the world, but the people around me. He said, "See? This boat can go straight ahead without an end, and the surrounding scenery will not be replaced repeatedly.
I pay attention to it. It's true that mountains are surrounded by mountains, surrounded by water, but no scenery is repeated. The ship seemed to have traveled a long way, and the clouds in the sky began to color. Is it almost dawn? I think.
"Actually, we haven't moved a step." His deep voice came from above his head.
I secretly looked up and saw his forehead. The fresh outline was also so seductive.
"Your fantasy again?"
"It's not mine, it's the whole city." He looked up at the sky and said slowly, "It's his."
Master? I looked at the sky, and the stars gradually faded away. The colorful clouds climbed up from the sky and it was dawn. I know this is an illusion, but I can't tell the difference in my heart.
I suddenly said, "When will you let me go?"
"When I can't protect you." He said calmly, "Of course I will let you go."
The flashing sadness on his face deeply touched my heart.
He won't let me go? Or did I not think about leaving at all? There is the smell of the master here, and more is his breath.
He threw me a set of clothes casually and said that he would count to ten outside the door. If he couldn't change it well, he would do it himself.
This really worked. I rushed back to the boathouse, and when he counted to five, I hurriedly put on the civilian suit. When he came in, he was also dressed in a civilian suit.
It was a very happy day. We mixed in the crowd, tasted all the local food, and wandered around the streets. The taste of the food is actually a little like a master, but I don't have time to think about it. At this moment, my eyes seem to be his shadow. He was very familiar with this place and took me to the place where I built weapons on the street. I seriously learned from the local master. Finally, he put a short dagger with a small shell in the palm of my hand.
"I just built it." He said with a smile, wiping the sweat on his forehead, "Call it a little soul devouring."
I took it and hid it carefully around my waist.
Nameless, do you know how much I hope that the soul-eating sword in your heart is an ordinary sword.
On the way back to the ship, he deliberately took me to a dilapidate courtyard, in the ruins of a big mansion. The mansion is very large, but it seems to be empty for thousands of years without any vitality. He stood in the courtyard and said nothing for a long time. He turned to me and said, "Let's go."
I vaguely remember that I came here. In his dream, at that time, he was only three years old, chasing his mother carefree in the yard - the mother who adopted him, and finally died on the day he ascended the throne.
Back on the boat, he immediately whispered in my ear, "Go to sleep." I'll take you back."
I went to sleep obediently, holding the little soul devoured tightly in my hand.
When I woke up, I had already changed into a maidservant's uniform. When serving these princes and nobles, I also heard some idle whispers. It is their king's kindness this time. Everywhere they go, ordinary people can make a wish, and their king will make it come true. For example, if someone wants to marry ten wives, they really get married. If someone wants to be an emperor, he will go crazy and be an emperor in his dream every day. When someone wants money, they dig for gold. I can't help thinking of what he said the other day:
"The mortals only believe in what they see, whether it is fantasy or reality, it makes no difference to them. Just like every time they see me, they see a face younger than them, so they will never think that I will die before them. In this way, I have existed for so long, and they have changed from generation to generation, but no one doubts why I am still alive?
In your heart, am I the same as them? You give me a little illusion, and I really don't want to wake up?
My distraction really made the nobleman miserable. What's the name of the Marquis? I was adding wine to him at that time, and somehow the wine in my hand was sprinkled on his lap. He jumped up wildly and said, "Pa!" The ground slapped me. I was stunned at that time, and the whole hall looked at us. It was a banquet, and there was a lot of singing and dancing. Maybe it's not surprising that this little episode quickly faded in another song and dance. But he came over strangely and took advantage of the wine to mess with me, and actually found out the nameless little soul devouring for him. I was even more surprised that the little soul-eating was well sealed by the hiding technique taught by Grandpa Wen. Why did he find out?
Now it's lively. The maid's possession of sharp weapons is a felony. He shouted and called the bodyguard, and everyone came to watch this disturbance. I have long seen their king, Wu Ming, and his back sitting in the top seat, enjoying singing and dancing. They are so far away from me that I can only peek at them in the corner as a little maid. Actually, I don't want to bother him. However, I was extremely wronged by the slap just now, but he didn't move and continued to enjoy wine, singing and dancing. At that moment, my heart was empty and I didn't know what I wanted.
I thought angrily, what kind of spell should I use to fix this marquis? Do you want him to dance or...
Suddenly, a way was made in the crowd, and he and his back slowly came over.
He was still the cold expression, the high king. He didn't even look at us and walked out of the hall. He just stopped when he passed by the Marquis and threw a sentence: "Do you want me to kill all the people here?"
I didn't realize it yet. Everyone knelt down together, and I was also pressed down by the bodyguards around me. When he and his queen walked out of the hall, all the people recovered. The previous Marquis Qing's face was even more pale. He hurriedly put the little soul-eating back into my hand and told me to do nothing and let me go down.
After that, I learned that someone had played tricks at his banquet, and as a result, all the people present became ghosts. In his world, there is no difference between the harm and the victim. He doesn't spend time presiding over the so-called justice, and there is only obedience in his world.
My mind was a little blurred that night. It's late at night, but I can't sleep. My body is like a demon. In this strange mansion, go and walk...
Then, he suddenly woke up, but his face was half red...
How could I quietly walk into his bedroom like this? And he is blending with his queen. The delicate gasp and half-covered body, as well as his gentle whispers in her ear, were deeply imprinted in my mind. Their eyes are all red. This is the first time I have seen the red light that I can't hide in my eyes. It turns out that they are of the same race.
It turns out that he can be so gentle to other women.
I want to turn around and leave, but I just can't move.
Is it him or her, do you want me to see this scene?
Yes, mortals never want to believe what they can't see? He was not mine in the first place.
I rushed out the moment my body could move.
