Even though he knew that it was not the real Lu Miao, looking at the tragic death, he could not remain indifferent.
“That’s a succubus, who can see into your inner thoughts and pretend to be the person you love most to charm you.
That dagger is the horn of her head, and the person who is stabbed will become her slave and his life will be worse than death. "
Lu Miao explained simply, bending down to pick up the bone dagger on the ground, "It is also an extremely rare magical weapon and medicinal material."
The other hand exerted a little force, trying to pull it out to find something to deal with the remaining blood on the dagger, but found that his hand was tightly grasped by Gu Shiyan. His originally warm palm was now cold, with a little sweat oozing out.
Just as she was about to speak, Gu Shiyan suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
“Fortunately I didn’t believe her.”
Lu Miao had neither hand free, so she could only nod her head in front of him to express comfort, "Don't worry, I believe you, your judgment is very accurate and decisive."
Feeling the real warmth in his arms, Gu Shiyan slowly let go and said, "Let's go."
Lu Miao looked at him helplessly, "You can let go, I'll clean this up."
Gu Shiyan decisively stretched out his other hand to take the dirty dagger, and stuffed it into his expensive coat pocket without hesitation.
"This painting is so dangerous, of course I have to hold you tight to be safe."
Lu Miao paused for a moment. She wanted to say that the succubus was actually not that dangerous after it died, but Gu Shiyan didn't look afraid of danger at all. Knowing that he probably just wanted to hold hands, she let him go and pulled him along. Walking forward on the path in the forest.
Not far away, I met a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, holding a peach tree and smiling foolishly. He shouted something about treasure and leaned over to kiss the trunk from time to time.
“It’s Mr. Shen from Yingke,” Gu Shiyan said.
Lu Miao said, "This peach forest is the succubus's lair. There is still the scent of the succubus on the trees. They will wake up when I destroy this painting."
The two of them met several familiar figures one after another. They passed through the peach forest and saw a lively market. There were many vendors selling goods on the roadside. The sauce-flavored pork elbows were steaming with an alluring aroma. In the restaurant, there was the aroma of wine. Floating out, they seemed to be really in an ancient market.
It’s just that the expressions on these people’s faces are stiff, like hawking machines.
A child accidentally fell to the ground, crying expressionlessly and reaching out to them, wanting them to pick him up.
Lu Miao ignored him and turned to look around. In the restaurant and outside the teahouse, missing people wearing modern clothes could be seen everywhere, but Gu Jinxi was never seen.
In the stream next to it, the boatman rowed his boat across the arch bridge.
A ray of breeze blew by, and a corner of the gauze curtain hanging in front of the cabin was lifted, and Gu Jinxi's familiar face flashed past.
Finally found!
Lu Miao raised his hand and threw a talisman toward the cabin. Gu Jinxi, who was smiling foolishly, looked at the jade flask in his hand in confusion.
What the hell? Is he dreaming?
Seeing that the boat was about to go away, Lu Miao shouted sharply, "Gu Jinxi."
Hearing Lu Miao's voice, Gu Jinxi suddenly woke up and immediately raised his eyes in the direction of the sound.
Seeing it was Lu Miao, she happily called "Second Sister-in-law", ran out of the cabin and jumped back to the shore.
At the same time, the noisy people around suddenly quieted down. The vendors and pedestrians on the roadside all turned their heads and looked at Lu Miao strangely. The crowd formed a circle and slowly approached them.
A black cloud in the distant sky quickly spread towards this side.
With a sharp bird call, Gu Shiyan could see clearly what kind of black clouds there were. They were clearly a group of monsters with human heads and bird bodies. Their huge wings formed into a sheet, covering the sky and the sun, and swooped towards them.
Lu Miao took out a pen and a piece of talisman paper from somewhere, quickly drew a few strokes on the talisman paper, and threw it into the air.
The talisman turned into a beautiful red bird dragging its long wings, and rushed toward the flock of birds that covered the sky with flames.
Gu Jinxi was stunned when he saw it. He knew that his second sister-in-law was powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated. This was the first time he saw Lu Miao perform magic. It was so cool!
The originally slow-moving crowd around them suddenly became restless, and each one bared its sharp teeth and rushed toward them.
Gu Shiyan quickly pulled out the horn of the succubus' head from his pocket, waved his hand and slashed at the crowd rushing toward Lu Miao. Those who were struck were instantly turned into ashes.
The wind was blowing, and the surrounding scenery became blurred and distorted.
Lu Miao grabbed Gu Shiyan's hand holding the corner of his head with his backhand, and swung it toward the sky above his head.
A huge crack appeared out of thin air with her movements.
Lu Miao grabbed Gu Jinxi who was not far away and pushed him to Gu Shiyan's side.
Shouting in the rustling wind, "Close your eyes."
Gu Jinxi's greatest advantage is that he listened to Lu Miao's words and closed his eyes without hesitation. He only felt that he was pushed by a force. After being dizzy, the sound of the wind and the fragrance of flowers all disappeared.
The sound of things falling to the ground around him was heard mixed with groans. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was already standing in a study room, with a bunch of unconscious people lying crookedly on the ground next to him. There was actually Lin Bufan.
Seeing Gu Shiyan standing aside, he immediately stepped forward, "Second brother, what's going on? Where is second sister-in-law?"
Gu Shiyan looked at the paintings on the wall with a somewhat solemn expression. The original beauties in the peach forest had disappeared, leaving only a surging black cloud.
Gu Jinxi followed his eyes and an idea flashed in her head, "Could the second sister-in-law be in the painting?"
A man who was lying next to the wall got up unsteadily, grabbing the paintings on the wall with his hands and feet, as if he wanted to get back in.
Gu Shiyan stepped forward with a calm face, and before the man destroyed the ancient painting, he reached out his hand like lightning and hit him on the back of the neck, knocking the man unconscious.
Seeing other people around him getting up and trying to step forward, Gu Jinxi immediately grabbed a brick-thick book from the table and shouted, rushing forward and knocking several of them unconscious. When he met Lin Bufan, he kicked them mercilessly. He kicked him to the other side, then stood in front of the ancient painting on the wall with his eyes wide open, vowing to guard his second sister-in-law to the death.
“Sir, if you dare to sneak up on me, I’ll beat you to death.”
Swearing and waving the book in his hand, he turned around and was about to hit someone. A fair and slender hand accurately grasped the menacing book, "Who are you beating to death?"
Gu Jinxi immediately threw away the book in his hand and stood next to her with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, they want to destroy the painting and make it impossible for you to get out. I will protect you."
Like a puppy that only wants to take credit.
Lu Miao casually rubbed his head, "You're so good."
Gu Jinxi became even happier instantly. Gu Shiyan raised his hand and picked up his collar to lift him away. He looked Lu Miao up and down and asked, "Are you injured anywhere?"
Lu Miao shook his head, turned around and looked around. He saw Lin Bufan sitting on the ground in a daze. He reached out and tapped his forehead.
Lin Bufan blinked, and his consciousness slowly returned. Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but get up from the ground with a groan, "What's going on? Boss, why are you here? No, why am I here?"
He remembered that he just went home and took a nap.
Lu Miao shook the painting in his hand and briefly explained the matter to the three of them.
A so-called master somehow found out that she was a master of landscape painting. Seeing that she was still young, he had a crooked idea and wanted to refine her into this painting and make her a part of this magical artifact for his use.
When she and Gu Shiyan attended a cocktail party together, he secretly tested her, but Lu Miao was busy with other things and forgot about it, so he thought he was right and thought Lu Miao was just in vain.
Knowing that Gu Shiyan was on the list of the charity auction, he swapped the magic weapon and put it into the auction items, bribed the auctioneers, and planned to let Gu Shiyan take the picture. Even if Lu Miao did not go to the auction, Gu Shiyan would bring After returning home, whenever Lu Miao comes close to this painting, he will be tricked.
Unexpectedly, Gu Shiyan did not attend the charity auction that day because of something else, and the painting was taken away by Mr. Zhang of Yingda.
After the auction, Mr. Zhang took the painting to a private party, and more and more people fell into the trap.
Seeing that the incident had alarmed the superiors, the master couldn't sit still and wanted to sneak over and take the painting away. Unexpectedly, he happened to encounter her and Gu Shiyan coming.
He could only use the drug to stun the others and threaten the servant to go out and open the door. He guessed that Lu Miao was here for the painting, so he used a trick and drugged the tea, and asked the servant to lead Lu Miao and the others up to the second floor, and then quietly followed them. Behind them, Lu Miao and Gu Shiyan followed after they were attacked.
He thought that Lu Miao was under his spell and he could easily defeat Lu Miao in the painting and turn her into a puppet. Unexpectedly, Lu Miao deliberately drank it to lure him into taking the bait. Instead, he was transformed into the painting by Lu Miao. , Lu Miao got a magic weapon for nothing.
After listening to Lu Miao's explanation, the two fools Lin Bufan and Gu Jinxi realized that they had just walked on the edge of death.
If Lu Miao hadn't rescued them in time, they would have stayed in the painting in a daze forever, and eventually became part of the ancient painting.
Lu Miao turned to look at Gu Jinxi, "How did you get tricked when you didn't go to the auction?"
Gu Jinxi scratched his head, and Lin Bufan on the side was the first to explain, "I know that Mr. Zhang later took the painting to the City God's Temple to find me, and said that after buying the painting and returning home, he dreamed of the beautiful woman in the painting for several nights. At that time, I I thought he was obsessed with sex, so I didn't think much about it. Jinxi happened to accompany your old lady to the City God's Temple that day, and when he went to look for me in the back hall, he happened to meet Mr. Zhang, and that was probably when he was tricked."
It turns out that this is the case. Lu Miao nodded and asked Lin Bufan to find someone to send away all these people on the ground. These people were just affected by the scent of the succubus and would recover in a few hours. He called Fu Jingshen and briefly explained.
After handling everything, several people left Zhang's house. Lu Miao was going to the City God's Temple. This painting was indeed a rare magic weapon, but the violence was too strong. She wanted to use the merits in the temple to turn the violence in the painting away.
When he arrived at the City God's Temple, he placed the painting at the foot of the statue. When he went out, Gu Shiyan was nowhere to be seen, so he grabbed a passing Taoist priest and asked.
“The patron is at Yuelao Temple.”
In order to attract tourists, Lin Bufan also built the Yuelao Temple and the Temple of Wealth in the temple during the renovation.
It’s just that society is developing and young people’s ideas are progressing. In these days, love is not as good as making money. No one can be relied on except yourself. There is a lot of incense in front of the Temple of Wealth, but the front door of Yuelao Temple is empty. I didn’t expect that Mr. Gu would actually go to worship Yuelao. .
Lu Miao turned around and walked towards Yuelao Temple. When he entered the door, he saw Gu Shiyan kneeling devoutly in front of the statue with his hands clasped. After a while, he bowed three times and stood up.
“What wish did you make?” Lu Miao asked casually.
Gu Shiyan came to her and stretched out his palms, and then she saw two red ropes in his hands.
"If my wife doesn't give me a status, I will always ask for a status from Yue Lao."
Gu Shiyan smiled lowly, and while talking, he took Lu Miao's wrist and tied a red rope on her.
Then he handed the other one into her hand and stretched out his wrist toward her.
Although he doesn't have that kind of bracelet, only he and Lu Miao can wear this.
Lu Miao's fingertips touched the red rope, and a faint golden light flashed before tying the red rope around his wrist.
“That bracelet is of no use to you.”
Of course she knew Gu Shiyan's resentment, but she really felt it was useless.
Each of the agarwood bracelets on Gu Shiyan's wrist was engraved with talismans and seals by her own hands. The peace talisman on his body was painted by her herself. His watch and cufflinks were blessed by her for daily use. He has and Her symbiosis spell, her acquiescence in allowing him to stay by her side, her acquiescence in holding hands and hugging him, everything was a status she gave him.
"Know."
It's just a little fun to ask for sweets from her.
Gu Shiyan stroked the red string on his wrist. Didn't he get another piece of candy that belonged to him?
Smiling, he held her hand and pulled her out together.
I don’t know when snowflakes started to fall again in the sky. Gu Shiyan held her hand and stuffed it into his pocket.
“It’s snowing, what do you want to eat?”
“When it snows, you have to eat hot pot.”
"good."
Lu Miao looked at the two lines of deep and shallow footprints moving forward together on the snow, and was held back by the little hand held by Gu Shiyan.
She found a way to lift the symbiosis curse and studied the theory of time travel. She may not say she loves him, but she is willing to keep walking with him like this.
