Chapter 22 Under the whirling tree is 4000 gold diamonds
My face turned red, and Rujun was too embarrassed to continue watching me make a fool of myself. He walked up to the horse with his long legs. He first stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the horse's neck. The horse seemed to be very comfortable under Rujun's white and slender fingers.
, lowered his head and snorted a few times. I know how magical Rujun’s hands are. Even an unruly man will immediately become docile under Rujun’s hands, let alone this horse.
.
And just when the horse was intoxicated, Rujun suddenly stretched out his long legs, stepped forward, and instantly rode on this magnificent horse!
It was done in one go, and the movement was very graceful. Rujun mounted the horse, smiled and pulled the reins, and said: "I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, so I am really rusty."
I looked at Rujun's tall and straight figure and slender waist, and I couldn't help but think about it. No wonder I had no power to resist when Rujun moved. He has such methods for handling horses, let alone handling people.
Chen Lie looked at Rujun with a look of obsession in his eyes, but for Yao Guangxiao's sake, of course this guy didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He quickly pointed at the carriage and said to me: "Mr. Lin, please."
I nodded quickly and got on the carriage.
As you said, this carriage is really too small. Let alone two people, even I feel a little uncomfortable sitting here alone. I can't straighten my legs at all and can only put my head down.
The windows even let in cold wind.
After the carriage started moving, my buttocks were bruised. The carriage, which had no shock absorbing measures at all, almost cracked my buttocks.
The distance from Seokbulsa Temple to Nishinomon is not too close in the first place. If we set off now, it will take at least an hour or two to get there.
Chen Lie was silent along the way, at least occasionally asking us if we needed a rest.
Rujun was enjoying himself riding the horse, and of course he didn't need to rest. I smiled bitterly: This is not as convenient as letting Rujun and I walk there by ourselves. The speed of the carriage is not even as fast as the ghost's movement.
However, Chen Lie cannot complete his mission. If Yao Guangxiao's status as a Shangzhu Kingdom is suppressed, it will cost his life.
In a blink of an eye, we passed the mountain road and entered the plain. Looking up, we could see the ghosts standing in the distance in the direction of the West Gate.
I don’t know why, maybe because I don’t have a very tall reference object, I suddenly felt that the Gui Whisao from 700 years ago was not as majestic or towering as the Gui Wusuo from 700 years ago, or in other words, not as tall.
The entire imperial city was hidden in thick fog. At this time, the entire Forty-Nine City was a little different from what it would be seven hundred years later. For example, there was no Jingshan Mountain, no outer city, and many roads and rivers.
But generally speaking, this is my hometown where I have lived for generations.
When the moon was almost at its zenith, we had arrived at a small wasteland outside Xizhimen. At this time, the entire Xizhimen area was still completely undeveloped. According to Chen Lie's description, there was sometimes a market here in the morning, but
Once the market disperses, this place will be the most desolate wasteland.
I got off the carriage and felt that my legs were going numb. Rujun got off the horse with a smile, came over and squeezed my legs with concern.
Chen Lie pointed at the ghosts whirling in the distance and said: "You two, our destination has arrived. I will stay here waiting for you. You can move around freely."
"Free time? Aren't you going to accompany us tonight?" I asked in surprise.
Chen Lie shook his head and said, "I'm waiting here. I know you have a lot of important things to accomplish, so I won't disturb you."
Chen Lie seemed very well-behaved. Rujun and I nodded. Since Yao Guangxiao had no intention of letting Chen Lie follow us, of course we must cherish this opportunity.
Leaving Chen Lie, Rujun and I walked towards the direction of the ghosts. Before we took two steps, Rujun suddenly swayed and almost fell to the ground.
I quickly reached out and hugged Rujun. Only then did I see that Rujun's face looked a little ugly through the moonlight. I quickly asked in a low voice: "Rujun, what's wrong with you? Are you too tired from riding just now?"
Rujun shook his head gently and whispered: "I don't know, I was fine a second ago, but now I suddenly feel dizzy..."
As I said that, I saw cold sweat starting to form on Rujun's forehead. It seemed that something was wrong with his body. And a few seconds later, I suddenly saw a green light flashing in Rujun's pupils. This was something I had never seen before.
Unseen colors.
"Rujun, your body is a little abnormal, there is a green light in your eyes..." I whispered: "Has anything like this happened to you before?"
Rujun was startled, first shook his head, and then suddenly said: "Wait...green? Is it green like a flame?"
I nodded: "Have you been in this situation before?"
Rujun nodded and said: "Yes, it happened, but it was a long time ago... When I first merged with my sister Mingjun, I once saw such a light flashing in my sister's eyes..."
"Are you saying that this flame does not belong to you, but to your sister, Wang Mingjun?"
"Yes." Rujun's voice was already very weak, and he definitely couldn't move on.
Seeing that the ghost was not far away, I quickly pulled Rujun and slowly hid near the bushes. If Yao Guangxiao had not deceived us, there would be many people here tonight, and these people must be my enemies.
Garuda, the Emperor in White, and maybe the King of Dragons, but if Yao Guangxiao’s theory is correct and the world after seven hundred years has accepted the changed world that we have traveled through, then I will definitely not see it.
If I have passed most of the people under the King of Dragons and Garuda, that means I won't meet them tonight.
Rujun's condition suddenly became worse. She closed her eyes tightly and began to whisper nonsense in a low voice. I couldn't accept such an intrusive thing. I didn't even know how to save her.
Looking at Rujun, my heart was as sharp as a knife: "Rujun, Rujun..."
Rujun's eyes were closed tightly, and her clean forehead was already covered with sweat. She squeezed her head tightly into my arms and whispered illogical words: "Lin Yang...I'm cold...hold me...
…”
I'm almost going crazy. I know that now I can no longer dwell on those moths "under the whistling tree in the northwest of the imperial city". The most important thing now is Rujun's life and death!
I quickly waved to Chen Lie in the distance and shouted loudly: "Chen Lie! Come here! Come here quickly!"
Chen Lie ran towards me on foot without riding a horse and asked quickly: "What are your instructions?"
I pointed at Rujun in my arms who was talking nonsense in a low voice, and said: "Chen Lie, hurry up, find me Yao Guangxiao! I need Yao Guangxiao now!"
Chen Lie nodded quickly, then turned and left. I hugged Rujun and was completely messed up.
The ghosts in the distance swayed gently, and the entire treetops carried a strange energy. Every time they swayed, the energy spread in all directions. I knew that these were the energies of the underworld that the underworld of Sijiu City relied on to maintain.
.
Rujun's body temperature suddenly began to rise. In my arms, it was like having a fever. Rujun became hotter and hotter.
Looking at Rujun in my arms, I suddenly had an idea. Could Rujun's current reaction be related to the ghosts? Could her physical condition be related to the ghosts?
At this time, Rujun suddenly whispered: "Lin Yang, I feel...I'm going to explode...It suddenly became so hot..."
From cold to hot, Rujun's transformation came too fast. The thoughts in my heart were more and more confirmed. Rujun's current situation must be related to ghosts!
I had an idea, and suddenly I grabbed Rujun's round shoulders with both hands, and began to use my wood attribute to absorb the energy in Rujun's body. This was originally a way to deal with the enemy, but now I plan to use it to help Rujun.
The absorbed energy of the wood attribute made Rujun's body numb. Her eyes suddenly opened and she looked at me in surprise: "Is this...?"
I whispered: "Rujun, don't be afraid, I think I already know how to treat you..."
Although Rujun's face was full of uneasiness, he still nodded trustingly. I felt the energy in Rujun's body slowly moving towards me. At this moment, I suddenly saw several people emerging from the distance.
