When Tao Jingyi woke up, it was already dark outside the hall. The glazed lamps are lit in the hall no matter it is day or night, and even when it gets dark, the interior is brightly lit.
She sat up from the bed, picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on her body, and she heard a "gurgling" sound from her stomach.
She is hungry.
Feng Lingzhi hadn't come back yet, there was nothing in the hall except the glazed lamp on the wall.
Tao Jingyi put on his shoes and socks, and walked around the whole room. Neither water nor food was found.
"Very hungry." Tao Jingyi hugged his stomach, sat on the bed resentfully, and muttered in a low voice, "Feng Lingzhi, my lord saint, come back quickly, there are still people waiting to be fed here."
She remembered the fried chicken and the milk tea she drank before crossing, and she became even hungrier.
"I want to eat big pig's trotters." Tao Jingyi spread himself into a human-shaped cake, lay down on the bed, stared blankly at the white gauze above his head, "I want to go home, there is air conditioning, WiFi, and order takeaway..."
After talking about it for about half an hour, Feng Lingzhi still didn't come back. Tao Jingyi was hungry and thirsty, and felt that if this went on like this, without Duan Feibai doing it himself, she would die too.
She had to find something to eat.
Feng Lingzhi's threat of chopping flower fertilizer is still in her ears, but she can't care about that much anymore, she will die anyway, at least she will be a dead ghost.
When Feng Lingzhi left, she just locked the door of the hall. She didn't expect Tao Jingyi to be so afraid of death that he dared to sneak out, so she didn't order anyone to lock the windows together.
Seeing that the door of the hall could not be opened, Tao Jingyi hit the window. The window opened with a slight push, and outside the window was a piece of green grass. At this time, the outside was dark and covered with a layer of white mist. Except for the dim light of the lanterns hanging on the long corridor in the distance, there was no one. other traces.
She opened the window lightly, carefully closed the window and door, and sneaked across the grass.
Although the original book introduced the layout of the Flower God Cult, it was limited to a few words of description. Even if the original author came, he might not be able to tell where he was.
Tao Jingyi decided that no matter where he was, as long as he smelled the aroma of food wafting in the air, he would be able to find something to eat.
She bent her waist, pressed against the wall, and moved out a little bit.
A gust of wind blowing from nowhere instantly blew away the scent of food in the air. No matter how Tao Jingyi sniffed, he could no longer smell the scent of food, only a faint fragrance in his nose. Wrap around.
She recognized this fragrance, and the residence of Fenglingzhi smelled the same fragrance. Now the air is full of this fragrance, making her dizzy for a while.
When Tao Jingyi was grinding her teeth in rage, a bunch of yellow fruits fell into her eyes.
Tao Jingyi's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and while no one was there, he quietly climbed over the wooden railing and walked under the tree.
I don't know what kind of tree this is. It smells too sweet, a bit like the aroma of oranges, but a little sweeter than the aroma of oranges. It is also yellow in appearance, big and smooth, and looks juicy and delicious.
Tao Jingyi couldn't bear the sweet smell anymore, couldn't help but reached out and picked one off, sat under the tree, scratched the fruit's skin lightly with his nails. Immediately, a richer sweet smell rushed over.
Already hungry, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva when she smelled the fruity aroma.
"It should be non-toxic..." Tao Jingyi's heart was extremely entangled, especially in such a hungry and thirsty situation, facing such a sweet fruit, it was like a poor ghost looking at mountains of gold and silver. Can't move.
"I can't control that much anymore, if you die by poison, you will die by poison." She couldn't bear it anymore, opened her mouth and bit off the fruit. Suddenly, the slippery pulp mixed with mellow juice slipped into her mouth, and a burst of sweetness lingered in her teeth. spread out.
Tao Jingyi narrowed his eyes with a happy expression on his face.
"Okay, how dare you steal the holy fruit, come on, someone is stealing the holy fruit!" A sharp female voice suddenly sounded.
Tao Jingyi was startled, raised his eyes, only to find a girl in white clothes standing not far away. The girl was also wearing a white veil, holding a lantern in her hand, her big eyes were rounded, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
With her yelling, many people rushed in at once. They were all dressed in the same way, and the moment they saw Tao Jingyi, it was as if they saw a rare flower in the world.
Tao Jingyi quickly devoured the rest of the fruit, turned around and ran away.
How did she know that it was the holy fruit of their Flower God Sect, no one planted the holy fruit here casually, and there was no one guarding it around, not even a sign saying "no eating stolen".
With a "click", a piece of wood fell from the tree and hit Tao Jingyi on the head. Tao Jingyi picked it up and looked at it, his eyes went dark.
I saw the wooden sign that said——
Stealing food is prohibited, and offenders will be put to death.
Tao Jingyi: "..."
The moment the wooden sign fell, her footsteps froze for a moment, and three or five girls rushed up, tied her up, and pushed her away.
"Those who steal the sacred fruit will be executed."
The vicious voices of those girls came and went, sounding extremely angry.
Oh no, no, this time I'm really going to be a flower manure. Tao Jingyi was about to cry, but was about to say, I am an old friend of your holy lady, I don't know who opened her mouth and stuffed a ball of cloth into her mouth.
This time she was at a loss for words.
After making a few turns, several people pushed her into a dilapidated courtyard.
"Auntie, we caught this person stealing the sacred fruit." One of the girls stood in front of the gate and said loudly.
After a while, the wooden door was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman walked out from the house. The woman was also dressed in white, but she didn't wear a veil. With a cold expression, she glanced at Tao Jingyi and asked, "What's your name?"
The girls were all taken aback, glanced at each other, and shook their heads.
The aunt's eyes sharpened, and she glared at Tao Jingyi: "A spy?"
Tao Jingyi shook his head frantically. The Flower God Sect hates spies the most. If they are regarded as spies, it is not as simple as chopping them into flower fertilizer.
The Flower God Cult's tactic for dealing with spies has always been to peel the skin first, then cramp, and torture them to death bit by bit.
Thinking of the cannon fodder who was tortured to death by the Flower God Sect in the original book, Tao Jingyi's hair shuddered.
"Tie it up," my aunt ordered.
The girls pushed Tao Jingyi and tied her to a post in the yard with a rope. The aunt tore off the cloth towel from her mouth, and said sharply, "Say, who are you?"
"I, I am a member of the Holy Maiden!" Tao Jingyi was quick to think, "It was the Holy Maiden who brought me back today. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."
The girls whispered for a while, and after a while, one of them said: "Miss Saintess did bring a person back today, and I haven't had time to register in the future."
"Yes, it's me!" Tao Jingyi said anxiously.
The aunt said with a sullen face: "You all step back, I will ask the young master about this matter."
The girls said "yes" and exited the courtyard.
Tao Jingyi tilted his head and looked at this middle-aged "aunt". Although she lived in a dilapidated place, she seemed to have a high status, and she even called Feng Lingzhi "young master". She quickly flipped through the plots of the Flower God Sect in her mind, but unfortunately, the Flower God Sect is only a copy of the original book, there are not many plots, and Feng Lingzhi played the most scenes.
"The young master brought you back?" Auntie asked coldly.
Tao Jingyi couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so he nodded.
"What did the young master bring you back for?"
Tao Jingyi whispered, "The Holy Maiden didn't say anything about going back to my aunt."
The aunt snorted coldly, sat down, and picked up a chopping knife in her hand: "According to the rules, if you steal the holy fruit, you will chop it into flower fertilizer."
"I really don't know anything. The Holy Maiden just took me to her dormitory, and then she went to find the leader."
"What? She took you to her bedroom!" Auntie stood up abruptly and slammed the hatchet on the table. Her eyes were full of sternness, and she stared at Tao Jingyi fiercely. "She took you with me!" Go to her dormitory, **** it, today I will chop you up as flower fertilizer."
Tao Jingyi: "..." Did she step on some strange lightning point?
This aunt had a violent temper, her face was full of ruthlessness, she chopped it up as soon as she said it, without saying a word, she raised the hatchet in her hand and chopped it down towards Tao Jingyi.
Tao Jingyi was startled and frightened, his eyes widened, he forgot to call for help, and watched helplessly as the saber light fell.
At this moment, with a sound of "ding", a silver light flashed, and the hatchet in my aunt's hand flew into the air, and was nailed into the pillar behind her.
"Who? Who? Come out!" My aunt's complexion changed drastically and she shouted loudly.
With a sound of "咻", a sleeve arrow flew out of nowhere and passed through her forehead, bringing out a stream of blood arrows, and there was a huge blood hole in the center of the aunt's eyebrows, which was gurgling blood.
If Tao Jingyi was still shocked and terrified just now, his face was pale now.
Her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she murmured pitifully in a low voice: "Heroes, heroes, spare me, I don't know anything, I don't know anything..."
A warm hand caressed her cheek, and then a familiar voice sounded in her ear: "Xiyan."
Tao Jingyi was taken aback for a moment, then opened his eyes, and what fell into his eyes was a pair of gentle eyebrows, which seemed to have been carefully sculpted by someone, so that he could see into her heart.
"Duan Feibai!" Tao Jingyi had never felt that Duan Feibai's appearance was so timely and reassuring. She wept with joy, and even forgot Su Xiyan's usual address, and called him by his name directly.
