Chapter 101 The rainy night
The next morning, Du Kuangfeng and Feng Yan left Tianji Palace together.
Xiaoqi and Wei Xingzhen stood by the roadside, watching Du Tianshi's horse and the carriage carrying Feng Yan disappear at the end of the road.
When Xiaoqi turned around and planned to return to the room, he realized that Wei Xingzhen behind him was gone.
...
The carriage winds along the mountain road, and Du Qiangfeng chats with Feng Yan all the way, until the carriage and horses arrive at the foot of the altar, and the flat stone path becomes neat stone steps.
Go Shi stopped the carriage, "Madam, you can't get in the carriage."
"Just get here," Feng Yan whispered, "You can drive the carriage back."
"Go back?" Qi Jin was stunned, "Don't I have to wait for you here all the time."
"It will take several days, what are you waiting for?" Feng Yan jumped off the ground from the side of the carriage. "You can listen to the instructions of the Heavenly Master. He said that it is almost done. You can come here again... Then you can stop here and I will come to find you."
"Hey." Ge Shi nodded in response, "Madam, be careful."
On the mountain road, Du Xuanfeng looked at Feng Yan who had followed him unexpectedly.
"What are you doing here when you run to the altar," he whispered, "The heartland of the spirit-sacrificing man is clearly on the other side of the mountain."
"I know."
A gust of wind gently blew across the hills, and the wind carried some strange aura that was different from usual.
Du Kangfeng raised his head in the direction of the wind.
Now this area is the most abundant place in the Daizong Mountains. He has never activated his spiritual consciousness since he stepped into this mountain.
These wild spirits that were inexplicably attracted were like mayflies flying in the late Xia Dynasty, rushing towards the hinterland - and then disappearing.
"It feels like it's getting stronger, and every day is harder to deal with than the previous day - what preparations do you have to do, do it as soon as possible, and then start as soon as possible."
"Yeah." Feng Yan nodded, "I know everything."
Feng Yan's voice was a bit leisurely and sure, which made Du Qiangfeng look at her more, "You said to wait... Isn't it time to wait for its power to reach its peak?"
"...Is this the Heavenly Master guessed?" Feng Yan laughed, "Yes."
Du Qiangfeng was a little stunned, and then frowned without comment, "This is related to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City and the destiny of our Great Zhou... This is a big deal, don't take it off--"
"If I fail, will the Heavenly Master prepare another solution?"
Du Qiangfeng did not look back, "...natural."
"Then I'll feel relieved."
Du Xuanfeng stopped, "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's a joke," Feng Yan smiled, "Can the Tianshi trust me?"
...
As the evening approached, Du Qianfeng had not returned yet, Xiaoqi took Sanqiansui to play in the courtyard of Tianji Palace for a whole day. She asked the monks in the boiler room for hot water and planned to take a shower at night and rest early.
However, when the hot water was never delivered.
After the You hour, a monk brought a plate of mountain fruit over and said that something went wrong with the boiler tonight and he had to wait for another one or two hours of hot water - it was basically late at night.
Xiaoqi can only express understanding.
At night, she changed her clothes and sat alone in the room to eat mountain fruits.
The fruit was slightly sour and not as good as Xiaoqi's taste, but the little fox seemed to like it very much. She didn't pay attention to it. Half of the mountain fruit had been gnawed clean by the three thousand years and the fruit core, and there were only five or six black handfuls left on the plate.
She quickly held the remaining fruit in her arms, "Eat less, you will have diarrhea tomorrow morning."
Sanqiansui returned to his corner with a humming moan and licked his paws.
Cen Lingju's shouting came from outside the window again.
Xiaoqi thought for a while, hugged the fruit and went out with an unlit lantern.
When she passed by the house of Sister and Wei Xingzhen, she looked over there with some concern.
The windows were dark, there was no light, and no one seemed to be there.
Just as she was wondering where Wei Xingzhen was going on this day, she ran into someone in front of her.
"Is it okay?" Wei Xingzhen's voice came from the nearest. He leaned over and picked up the fruits and lanterns that had fallen to the ground. "Where are you going so late?"
"...Well, I plan to go and see the prince." Xiaoqi whispered.
"Be careful on the way."
Feng Xiaoqi thought she had heard it wrong, so she reached out to take the mountain fruit and lantern handed over by Wei Xingzhen, "Ah... OK."
Wei Xingzhen didn't say much, he quickly turned around and walked towards his house. Feng Xiaoqi stood there, watching his back disappear behind the door, and then the lights in the room lit up.
The Wei Xingzhen in front of him was not as cold as before, but instead had a little politeness and kindness.
He...is he changed his sexual intercourse?
...Strange.
Xiaoqi ran quickly to the mountain road and lit the lantern in his hand with the fire in the candlestick on the side of the road.
Although the place where Tianji Palace is located is steep and there are many houses, the internal structure is very simple. You can basically pass the entrances of all the main courtyards along the two ring-shaped main roads.
Xiaoqi looked for Cen Lingju's shouting and went downhill. Just when the sound seemed to be close, Cen Lingju suddenly stopped calling.
But this is nothing, because Xiaoqi had already seen a monk standing in front of a stone gate to guard it, and Cen Lingju's voice was mostly from this yard.
Sure enough, just as she was hesitating, Cen Lingju's crying sounded again.
Xiaoqi stepped forward to talk, and despite explaining the purpose of the visit, the monk guarding the gate still refused to let her in.
In desperation, she had to pretend to turn back and sneak to a relatively steep rock platform on the other side of the mountain courtyard - the place where Cen Lingju's window was diagonally opposite.
From a distance, Xiaoqi saw Cen Lingju's figure on a high place, her half leaning against the iron fence, as if wiping tears.
Xiaoqi took out a mountain fruit from his arms, aimed at it, and then threw it gently towards Cen Lingju.
"Who hit me!" Cen Lingju screamed in surprise, waiting for her to look closely - a familiar figure stood on the huge rock slanted below the cliff.
"Feng Wan..."
"Why are you here..." Cen Lingju immediately wiped away her tears and made a fierce expression, "What are you doing here!"
"Come and see you and give you some food." Xiaoqi said with a smile, "Is it not good to be locked up here alone?"
"You—" Cen Lingju gritted her teeth in anger, "Are you here to see me for a joke?"
"Not that," Feng Xiaoqi smiled leisurely, "My sister went up the mountain to pray for His Majesty, and brought me over to play. Yesterday I heard someone cursing outside, and I found out that it was you - isn't this unhappy retribution, hahaha."
Cen Lingju punched the iron railing hard, "Wait for me to go out, Feng Wan!"
"Of course I will wait," Xiaoqi's expression became a little cold. "But listen to Cen Lingju, it would be fine if you have any evil fire to come to me, but if I let me know next time you have trouble with my sister, I will not give up."
Cen Lingju on the high platform was stunned for a moment, and then a sharp and harsh laughter broke out, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Qi said.
"Hahahaha, Feng Wan, what are you talking about? What kind of sisterly love are performed in front of me? Do you think I don't know the little bit of the mess between your sisters like everyone else - did you fall three years ago, so you confused your mind?"
"Don't be here to provoke me!"
"Provocation? I'm provocation? Hahahahahahahahahaha--"
Cen Lingju slapped the railings and smiled so fiercely.
"Feng Wan, do you think that there were only you and Feng Yan on the cliff that day? I saw it all! I just didn't say it!"
"What cliff..." Feng Xiaoqi frowned, "What did you see... you made it clear?"
"Three years ago, you secretly asked Feng Yan to the cliff in the middle of the night, and thought that he would push her down without knowing it. As a result, the road was slippery on the rainy day and you fell down by yourself. What is retribution? This is retribution--!"
