Through the scene of playing chess with the mysterious little girl, Li Nanke finally came to some understanding.
The so-called "chess against the sky" is not just a chess game for you to make moves, but a battle of wits between the two sides to see if you can find a flaw and save the person who was sacrificed.
If you win, everyone will be happy; if you lose, others will be sacrificed.
And the person who sacrificed must be someone he cared about.
This time it was Nie Ying, next time... who would it be?
"Disgusting red rain."
Li Nanke secretly complained.
Recalling what He Nantian said before, maybe the game with "Red Rain" had already started, but I just didn't know it.
"There are monsters out there!"
Nie Ying, who was soothed in her arms, accidentally looked towards the window and saw the strange ballad girl standing silently under the peach blossom tree, and she uttered a horrified voice.
Li Nanke glanced at her and comforted her: "It's okay, I've just seen her. And this house is safe, she can't come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure under the peach blossom tree suddenly disappeared.
The next second, he appeared in the house.
Li Nanke was stunned.
This feeling of being instantly slapped in the face left him speechless.
Isn't this a safe house?
The balladeer whose body was covered with flowers was like a doll, standing quietly in front of the two of them, watching them, exuding a sinister atmosphere that was suffocating.
Nie Ying got goosebumps when she looked at the dense flowers.
At this time, the flowers on the monster began to fall off.
Revealing the luxurious purple dress and graceful figure, as well as the graceful, elegant and familiar face.
"Eldest Princess!?"
Seeing the other party's face, Nie Ying's beautiful eyes widened.
The woman subconsciously wanted to step forward, but Li Nanke grabbed her wrist and pulled her behind her.
"She is not the eldest princess."
Li Nanke stared at the other person, trying to see through the soul under that body.
When he was playing chess with the little girl just now, he had the intuition that the soul of the eldest princess was trapped in this body, but now it felt extremely strange.
This is probably just a monster disguised as a princess.
Although the two of them were on guard, the singer who had transformed into her true form completely ignored them, walked straight to the bed, and slept in her clothes.
Um?
Li Nanke was stunned when he saw this situation.
what's going on?
Can't see us?
Nie Ying tugged at the corner of the man's clothes and looked at him as if he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the monster.
Li Nanke quickly shook his head to stop.
Just kidding, just because someone is sleeping doesn't mean they can be easily attacked.
Seeing that the door was open, Li Nanke hesitated for a moment, then took Nie Ying's hand and prepared to leave the hut.
When he walked out of the room, Li Nanke looked back at the woman on the bed.
Under the warm dim light, the woman's beautiful face seems to be bathed in a layer of holy light, and coupled with her graceful temperament, she looks even more delicate.
She pursed her pink lips slightly and murmured softly.
It sounds like the word "husband".
This word of murmuring seemed to carry an invisible magic power, dragging Li Nanke's memory back to the time when he and Bai Ruyue were in the fantasy land of Peach Blossom Spring.
They were a loving couple at that time.
At that time, they remained loyal until death.
At that time, they were pretending to be others, and they also let their vague love entangle each other.
In a trance, sleeping on the bed was the wife who had been with him all his life in the fantasy land of Peach Blossom Land.
The man's heart ached.
It seemed to be tightly entangled with a barbed wire.
"Please wait outside for a while and don't run around."
Li Nanke sighed, pushed Nie Ying out of the house, and closed the wooden door.
Reason told him that he should leave this dangerous house.
But emotions control behavior.
Li Nanke walked to the bedside and stared at the sleeping beauty, his expression becoming increasingly complicated.
She is a monster...she is a monster...
The man warned himself over and over again.
He picked up a blunderbuss and pointed it at the opponent several times, but he couldn't bring himself to do it and was unable to give up.
The woman opened her eyes.
There was a hint of peach color in her clear eyes, which stirred the man's heart.
Peach blossom vine branches slowly extend from the roof...
"Husband..."
She gently held Li Nanke's hand and placed it on her soft and delicate cheek. Her gentle voice had a slight melody, which was gentle and charming.
All the bones in Li Nanke's body seemed to be a little soft.
The woman tilted her head slightly and kissed his wrist with her delicate cherry-colored lips.
However, the next second, the woman opened her red lips, exposed two sharp teeth, and bit the man's wrist fiercely!
………
Nie Ying did not expect to be locked out of the house by Li Nanke.
She quickly reached out to push the door open, but it was to no avail with all her strength.
This door seems to be welded shut.
Suddenly, she heard a painful groan, which sounded miserable.
Nie Ying felt horrified.
Unable to restrain her curiosity, she slowly followed the sound and finally found the source of the sound under the peach blossom tree.
Under the tangled peach tree, the fat woman Zhao Yu, a member of Tiangang Disha, was penetrated by vine branches and stuck to the roots of the tree.
Even peach blossoms grew on her body.
It is as if people have become the nourishment of this tree.
"Master Zhao?"
Nie Ying couldn't believe her eyes.
The woman who had been scolding her so vigorously before was now like this.
"Help me...save me..."
When Zhao Yu saw Nie Ying, his eyes shone brightly and he hurriedly asked for help.
She wanted to stretch out her hand, but it was already stuck to the tree trunk and unable to move.
Every time I moved, I felt excruciating pain.
"Master Zhao, how... how can I save you?" Nie Ying was at a loss what to do.
"The talisman! That talisman!"
Zhao Yu shouted.
Nie Ying followed the other person's line of sight and saw a red talisman attached to one side of the tree root, which seemed to be covered with blood.
As you get closer, you can smell the smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of flowers.
"Bite the tip of your finger and drip your blood on it to save me."
Zhao Yu taught the other party how to get out of trouble.
Nie Ying did not rush to follow the instructions, but carefully studied the talisman seal.
There are several peach blossoms painted on the talisman seal.
The petal lines are clearly visible, like human blood vessels.
Seeing that the woman made no movement, Zhao Yu urged in a hurry: "What are you still doing? Hurry up!"
"Master Zhao, according to your method, will I replace you?" Nie Ying suddenly turned her head and asked, her sharp beautiful eyes full of doubt.
Zhao Yu was startled, his expression slightly unnatural.
She tried to soften her voice, "How could it be? As long as you save me, I can take you out of here."
However, Nie Ying is not as easy to deceive as a three-year-old child.
As a shadow guard Qianhu, an elite person who has grown up in intrigues since childhood, he will maintain absolute rationality before doing anything.
Especially when the other person is someone she has offended.
"I do not believe."
Nie Ying shook her head.
The woman added: "I don't believe anyone except Li Nanke."
Seeing that Nie Ying didn't seem to be planning to save her, Zhao Yu's sanity collapsed, his eyes were fierce and sinister, and he angrily shouted: "Nie Ying, I order you to save me! I am your superior! If you get to the capital, I have the right to kill you!
"
"Ha~"
The woman's incompetent threat made Nie Ying feel particularly funny, and the corner of her lips raised a hint of ridicule.
She walked up to Zhao Yu and smiled slightly,
"Master Zhao, even if I can save you, I won't. But don't worry, I will use another way to help you escape."
Hearing this, Zhao Yu's pupils dilated and his face looked frightened.
Is this guy going to kill people and silence them?
puff--
Before she could speak, a sharp branch pierced her neck.
