Chapter 117 chapter117 Recovering memory?
Li Daoxuan silently clenched his palms, and the yellow talisman paper man was completely turned into powder. He opened his hand, and an inexplicable gust of wind blew the powder away from his palms.
He was worried and without further delay, he pushed open the door of the guest room. Unexpectedly, a cold light flashed in front of him. He quickly turned his head to avoid it. There was a "clang" sound, and a very thin silver wire just brushed past his ear and sank deep into the door frame.
The silver thread was stretched straight, and there seemed to be a lingering "buzzing" sound in my ears.
At the other end of the silver wire, Chen Qing opened his mouth in surprise, and after a long pause he said, "Why is it you?"
Chen Qing had been jolted around in the carriage for a whole day, and had been half-cajoled into drinking medicine by him. Her stomach was churning, and she felt so uncomfortable that she leaned against him and fell asleep.
She was awakened by the system in her brain.
The system kept screaming in her mind, causing Shen Qing to frown irritably. "What's your name?"
"Master, master, he's here! Wake up! Go find your Li A'man!" 001's voice was rarely tinged with impatience.
Master? Chen Qing frowned, then her attention was drawn to a strange demonic aura outside the house. She immediately sat up and pulled out a bundle of extremely thin silver thread from her waist.
The silver soul thread seemed to have a spirit. It stretched out its head and gently wrapped around her fingertips, while the other end of the tail was ready to go, just waiting for the moment when something outside the house came in and pierced it through.
Soon she heard very subtle noises outside the house, as if someone was fighting. She didn't know what the situation was outside, but in any case, her house was still broken into by a thief.
The moment the door opened, Chen Qing threw out the silver soul thread without hesitation. The force was so great that it pierced the door through, but he didn't expect that the person coming from the opposite side was Li Daoxuan.
In surprise, she asked, "Why are you here?"
Li Daoxuan rolled the silver soul thread with two fingers, pulled it out of the door, carefully put it away, and handed it back to her.
He still had the chill of the rainy night on him, and Chen Qing was only wearing a thin undershirt. She shivered as the sudden chill from his body approached her.
Li Daoxuan noticed her little movement with his sharp eyes, pursed his lips, and urged his internal energy to flow through his meridians to dispel the coldness.
When her body warmed up, the girl finally relaxed her brows and stopped resisting his approach.
Li Daoxuan picked up the man and put him back on the bed. After locking the door, he also got into bed with his clothes on.
Seeing him get on the bed with his clothes on, Chen Qing instantly forgot about what happened just now and pushed him away in disgust, "Why don't you take off your clothes before getting on the bed? You're so dirty!"
Li Daoxuan exhaled, pulled her hands that were pushing her around and held them in his arms, then leaned over and buried his head in the crook of her neck.
"Remember the Red and White Demons?"
Shen Qing stopped moving immediately.
Of course I remember that the two monsters seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth a few months ago, leaving no trace.
The bodies of the two had been destroyed long ago, so Chen Qing was not worried that they would cause any more trouble. However, there was no news about their whereabouts, which made Chen Qing increasingly anxious. He doubted whether Li Daoxuan's formation was effective and whether the two monsters would die halfway due to being too weak.
She always believed that it was extremely unreliable to use this method to lure out the person behind the scenes.
Firstly, the two monsters are too weak and may die on the road at any time and never be able to return.
Secondly, the two monsters’ bodies were destroyed and they were no longer of any use. Ordinary people would choose to discard useless things.
Thinking of the sudden demonic energy tonight and his inexplicable mention of this matter, Chen Qing slightly opened his eyes and asked with a burning gaze, "What was that just now?"
Li Daoxuan shook his head, "No."
"Then why are you bringing this up suddenly?"
Li Daoxuan: "They are indeed hiding in Dongshan Temple, but the one we are looking for tonight is not the Red and White Evil, but another kind of demon."
Chen Qing thought about it carefully and felt something was wrong. She said, "Isn't your master very powerful? How come so many monsters can sneak into Dongshan Temple?"
Li Daoxuan: "Master is not here every day. Except for a few days before our wedding, he has been traveling and has not returned yet."
"Besides, the current situation is special."
"That's right." Almost half of the royal family and officials in the court came to Dongshan Temple to pray for the emperor. When there are so many people, it is inevitable that there will be good and bad people. Some people with ulterior motives may take this opportunity to use the demon to cause trouble.
Now, almost half of the pillars of the Li Dynasty are in Dongshan Temple. Even if any one of them dies, it will make the already shaky court even more unstable.
Chen Qing said, "You didn't chase him out, but stayed here to keep warm. Aren't you afraid of something happening?"
Li Daoxuan said firmly: "No."
If that thing really wanted to cause trouble, it wouldn't be so secretive and rely on its clones like it is tonight.
Chen Qing twisted her body restlessly, and Li Daoxuan put his arm around her waist and said, "Go to sleep, we'll talk tomorrow."
The originally half-lit candle flame was extinguished by the internal force of his fingertips. In the dark environment, only the sound of the dripping rain was particularly clear. Fortunately, the rain was reduced in intensity, and the steady sound of the rain actually helped him sleep.
Chen Qing's eyelids gradually grew heavy, and as she fell into a drowsy state, she muttered, "I'm going to sleep with Li Yu tomorrow. You don't like to be clean, and you get in bed without even taking off your clothes."
Li Daoxuan heard the sound particularly clearly in her arms. His heart was choked and he hugged her tighter. "If something comes again, you want me to fight it in my pajamas?"
She muttered a few more times and then stopped talking.
Li Daoxuan sighed resignedly, wrapped her tightly in the quilt, and fell asleep while holding her in his arms through the cocoon-like quilt.
The next day he was woken up by someone pinching his face.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the girl staring at the silver bracelet on her wrist with bright eyes. Her slender white wrist moved closer, almost blinding his eyes.
"What is this? Did you put it on me?"
Li Daoxuan's Adam's apple rolled, and he pulled her hand and held her in his arms. He frowned, pressed one hand on his face, and pulled himself away. It seemed that he was still bothered by the fact that he had gone to bed with his clothes on.
He didn't insist any more and decisively stood up and put on his shoes. He said, "Last time you said you wanted a crossbow that could shoot talismans." Li Daoxuan tapped her wrist and said, "The alchemists in the mansion have limited abilities, so they only made this."
This silver bracelet on my hand, which is not even as thick as my little finger, is actually a hidden weapon that can shoot out talismans?
Her eyes lit up and she said, "How do you use it? Teach me!"
Li Daoxuan suddenly turned around and faced her face to face. His approach was so sudden that Shen Qing held her breath for a moment.
"Want to know?" He said with a wicked smile, pointing to his lips, "Give me a kiss and I'll tell you."
Chen Qing thought to himself that this person was indeed still controlled by the love Gu, as he kept talking about this matter every other sentence.
She snorted coldly and pushed him away, saying like a proud cat, "I can do it myself. I don't need you."
After saying that, she left him and went to the corner to fiddle with the bracelet.
Li Daoxuan was not annoyed. He raised his sword and pushed the door open. The sky suddenly became bright. The dazzling sunlight made Shen Qing raise his arm to shield his eyes. "Close the door!"
Li Daoxuan closed the door. After a while, he suddenly opened the window on the other side and stuck his head out.
The window on this side was connected to the bed, and as soon as he opened it, the girl said dissatisfiedly, "Close it! I don't like being watched by people!"
Li Daoxuan had a wicked smile in his eyes. He leaned in a little and pulled her hand. Shen Qing was caught off guard and bumped into him. Then her lips and teeth were filled with his taste.
His kiss was light, touching and leaving immediately.
Just before Shen Qing was about to get angry, he let go extremely quickly and escaped from the window.
"Li Aman, you bad dog!"
The young man seemed to be in a very good mood. He chuckled and picked up a leaf to play with it. Before leaving, he said, "This is where I have lived since I was a child. This courtyard belongs to me alone. No fools will come to disturb me."
"It rained last night, so the house is easily damp. We need to open the windows for some fresh air—" He tiptoed, climbed over a low wall, and walked out.
His movements were smooth and efficient, and it seemed that he had done this kind of thing many times since he was a child.
This should be considered Chen Qing's first contact with her second "home", but unfortunately her mind was full of the bracelet in her hand and she had no intention of strolling around.
Fortunately, she was very familiar with hidden weapons and had played with them many times. With a crisp sound, she pulled out a piece of iron with two elastic ropes attached to it. The gap between the two thin ropes was exactly the size of a piece of talisman paper.
Chen Qing tried it, and found that the bracelet could only hold three talismans in total, and if there were more, it would get stuck.
Although it’s not much, it’s enough to save your life at a critical moment.
Who would have thought that this extremely tiny silver bracelet could shoot out three pieces of talisman paper in one breath?
Chen Qing suddenly remembered the dream. She touched her smooth and delicate wrist. The fine and piercing pain was like a maggot attached to the bone, as if it was drilling into her wrist. She touched her head again. Her scalp was intact. The corners of Chen Qing's lips, which were originally slightly raised, suddenly drooped.
How desperate must one be to make a person who loves himself so much endure extreme pain to hide a foreign object under his flesh just to be able to protect himself one day?
Shen Qing could not imagine.
Now she has not been poisoned yet, and the threatening Shen Ling has been imprisoned by her long ago. She has eliminated all hidden dangers in advance. The Shen family is safe, Ye Niang and Cui Ya are healthy, and even Li Yu is safe.
Seeing how happy she was, the person behind the murder of his family must be unhappy.
"001." Chen Qing said.
"Host, I'm here." 001's voice was as calm as before, as if the voice that eagerly called her "Master" last night was just an illusion.
But Chen Qing knew that it was not an illusion.
001 genuinely called her "Master." Judging from how impatiently it had woken her up last night, it at least genuinely cared about her safety.
Her mind wandered. She was the only person in the world who knew about the "system". Perhaps the system had never existed from the beginning to the end?
She opened her mouth, but didn't know where to start.
Little did he know that 001 was extremely nervous at the moment. He knew very well that he had been exposed last night because of his impatience. However, it was at this stage in his previous life that his master's body completely collapsed because of "him"!
It's finally today, and even though it knows that its owner can solve the problem by himself, it's still scared!
"001, you're not a system, right?"
001 suddenly fell silent. Its owner never told it what to say if someone asked about this one day.
001's silence deepened Shen Qing's suspicion.
Now that he had a clue, Chen Qing stretched out his body, leaned against the window frame, played with the thin bracelet, and looked relaxed.
"In my previous life, the Crown Prince imprisoned me in order to find that thing, but I escaped. Now that he's returned to Dongshan Temple and sees that I'm not only safe but also in possession of that thing, do you think he'll take advantage of this opportunity to imprison me again?"
001 could no longer hold back and asked in panic, "Master! Have you recovered your memory?"
