Chapter 10 - Meeting the Demon
Wu Luyao planned to go with Qian Jiaren.
Su Qingwan, the one who was most affected, stayed.
At night, Qian Jiaren delivered the peace talisman to Su Qingwan.
Su Qingwan put the peace talisman under the pillow, covered her with a quilt and closed her eyes to sleep. In the middle of the night, Su Qingwan woke up by the cold.
The chill was spread all over her body, as if she had put her in the snow-capped mountains.
Su Qingwan turned over and the coldness slightly retreated. It seemed that something intelligent was at work. Su Qingwan thought so and continued to pretend to be asleep. By the way, she scolded the monk who cheated on incense and money in the temple in her heart.
What kind of peace talisman is useless!
Gradually, the chill became stronger.
Su Qingwan's teeth were trembling up and down uncontrollably. She wanted to go down and light the candle, but her hands and feet did not listen to her orders. Han Yiru wandered around her body, lifting her quilt and turning on her pillow.
I'm going to be frozen to death.
Su Qingwan moaned in pain.
The coldness disappeared inexplicably.
As the body temperature returned to normal, Su Qingwan's brain began to sort out her thoughts. Without any surprise, the chill was not for harming her. The chill was more like looking for something here.
Su Qingwan's wrist accidentally swept over one side of the mattress, and under the slightly bulging mattress, the music score was placed. Su Qingwan opened the mattress and touched the score with her fingers, she almost got froze.
That coldness comes for this music score? It is intelligent, so it is a monster? This is all Su Qingwan can infer.
Su Qingwan got out of bed, put on her coat and walked outside. She looked at the two brightly lit study rooms. From the open window, she could see Qian Jiaren and Wu Luyao doing tomorrow's homework.
Neither of these two seemed to be affected.
Su Qingwan's expression relaxed slightly.
The next day, Su Qingwan and Mr. Xiteng asked for leave. She would have considered keeping this score for a few more days. Since what happened last night, she just wanted to return the score early. The monsters are uncontrollable. She cherishes her life and the lives of Qian Jiaren and Wu Luyao.
When Su Qingwan came to Lezhai with the idea of sneaking in, the door of this magical Lezhai was unexpectedly open.
Su Qingwan's gaze turned from the door of Lezhai to the entire street. There was no place where the house was as cold as Lezhai. Su Qingwan listened to the sound of wind chimes coming from Lezhai and withdrew her gaze.
The one who brought her into Lezhai that night was not Lezhai's owner, but Ji Jingyun. Ji Jingyun's words also vaguely revealed the news that Lezhai's owner had not appeared for a long time. Now that Lezhai's door is open, does it mean that Lezhai's owner has returned?
In the past two days, Su Qingwan had inquired about it intentionally or unintentionally in Dongcheng. There were so many people in Dongcheng, but none of them had noticed this Jialezhai before, as if this Jialezhai did not exist at all.
Is it because Ji Jingyun said that this is the most vague place between the human world and the demon world, so it is easy to be ignored by human eyes?
Su Qingwan had countless questions in her heart. She covered her eyes and walked into the main entrance of Lezhai with the purpose of this trip.
Lezhai during the day is not as scary as when he came that night. The sound of the white jade wind chime is like a flowing spring in the empty valley, which sounds refreshing and makes people feel purified.
You can see a translucent multi-fan folding mica screen embedded in ivory. The screen is based on landscape paintings with ink splashing, and the style of opening and closing is rare in today's world.
It must have been the work of famous masters in the past.
Su Qingwan recognized the style of painting, but she just took a look. She walked inside and asked, "May I ask, is there anyone?"
The Lezhai was quiet, and there was no sound of the wind blowing through the hall.
It was a little abnormal.
No one responded, and Su Qingwan did not walk around casually. This was etiquette. Since she could not return it secretly, she should at least thank the owner in person.
Su Qingwan took the opportunity to look at Lezhai, which had not had time to look carefully that day. The layout inside Lezhai was much larger than what you saw from the outside. From the shelf beside her, Su Qingwan also saw many instruments and musical scores that were popular among humans in the current Jiuzhou Imperial City.
There is no longer a simple magic score in Lezhai.
Footsteps sounded behind her for no reason. Su Qingwan looked back but there was no one. Her eyes fell on the music score that was only half turned on on the table next to her. If I remember correctly, there was no such music score here just now.
Who is here?
Su Qingwan circled around the house and found no one. She locked her eyes on the music score, and she couldn't understand any of the musical notes on it. This was the music score of the monster.
Su Qingwan didn't intend to watch it anymore.
The wind chime outside the screen suddenly rang again. This time the wind chime was loud and noisy, as if playing a chaotic music.
Su Qingwan was about to close the music score and her vision seemed to begin to be confused with the sound of the wind chime. Musical notes jumped out of the pages of the book as if they were given life to try to wrap her tightly.
Su Qingwan lost her mind for a moment and immediately came to her senses.
run!
This was Su Qingwan’s only thought at this time.
However, the black musical notes had formed a chain, which kept her firmly under control. The line of vision became clear, and Su Qingwan could see that the chains wrapped around her were little by little plated with gold until no one quickly turned on the music score.
The blank score suddenly magnified in her eyes, forming a huge vortex that dragged her into it.
The golden chains were shattered into musical notes and returned to the music score. In an instant, silence was restored to Lezhai.
The sunlight softly sprinkled on the music score, and nothing seemed to have happened.
When Su Qingwan heard the whistling wind in her ears, she finally opened her eyes that were closed because of fear. She found that she was descending from a high place, and that she would definitely make her face fall first.
Su Qingwan's nervous heart was about to pop out of her throat.
She never killed anyone or set fire in her previous life. She traveled to this world and kept honestly not interfering in the direction of the world plot. Are she going to die here today?
As he approached the ground, Su Qingwan finally saw clearly the scene under the white fog. A vast bamboo forest, in the middle is a flowerbed that is almost covered with jasmine flowers, standing upright without blooming jasmine flowers.
The tall walls built by bricks and tiles surround the magnificent pavilions and towers. Next to the jasmine flowerbed, a high platform stands on the rockery. On the platform, men and women play musical instruments, or sing graceful songs.
