Staring into the abyss

Chapter 128 Staring into the abyss
Not long after staying in Fuqing Pavilion, Jiang Nan bid farewell to the big embroidered clothes and returned to Luoqi Courtyard.

Pushing open the door, the other courtyard behind the garden is flickering with flickering candles and brightly lit.

At that moment, Jiangnan felt a feeling of "going home".

This is both familiar and unfamiliar to him who has been traveling all year round.

Speaking of which, since he came to this world, it seems that he hasn't settled there yet.

After walking through the courtyard, Ke'er stood at the door, as if waiting for his return.

"Master, the water is ready." Ke'er bowed.

Jiang Nan nodded, "When you finish your work in the future, you can do your own thing, and you don't have to wait for me like this."

Ke'er was taken aback for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.

Jiang Nan entered the lobby and sat down.

Ke'er quickly fetched hot water, put it in a wooden barrel, and placed it at Jiangnan's feet.

Then he squatted down and was about to take off Jiangnan's boots.

Jiang Nan quickly waved his hand, "That's unnecessary, I can do it myself."

But Ke'er, who has always been extremely obedient, raised his head and said, "Master, Ke'er doesn't have much to do, only these trivial chores can help you share."

Jiang Nan was taken aback for a moment. He saw the girl's stubborn gaze, but he still didn't refuse in the end.

The little girl dropped his boots and put his feet in the water again.

A warmth instantly wrapped around Jiangnan's skin.

Ke'er's hands are small, but after special training from the Ministry of Etiquette, he has a good grasp of strength and position.

Jiang Nan couldn't help squinting his eyes comfortably.

He was rarely served by others, and now was the first time.

Xin Dao really is that those princes and nobles will enjoy it.

It is said that some important people in the capital even have to be fed mouth-to-mouth.

Kneading Jiangnan's calf, Ke'er buried her head.

His parents died early because of the famine, and she was taken into the Ministry of Rites when she was young.

Slowly, she understood.

I am different from those sisters in beautiful clothes on the street.

She is a servant.

no freedom.

There is no such opportunity.

Everything she has learned so far is intended to finally become the property of some grown-up.

The moment she was taken out of the Ministry of Rites today, she was filled with confusion and fear.

Because of the strange hobbies of some big figures in the capital, enough to make life worse than death, such rumors have long been common.

Although the life of the Ministry of Rites is harsh, countless servants are still reluctant to leave.

Because once they stepped out of the gate of the Ministry of Rites, no one knew where they would be sent.

Will it be a ghost or a god?

She was scared.

In this way, with fear, Ke'er was taken to Luo Qiyuan.

But fortunately, this young gentleman is not as vicious and harsh as imagined.

On the contrary, he was extremely gentle to her, gave her a spacious house, let her eat at the table, and gave her enough respect.

Jiang Nan is a good man.

Fortunately for a servant without dignity and freedom.

For Jiangnan, she is grateful from the bottom of her heart.

Therefore, she wanted to use what she had learned in the Ministry of Rites to repay this kind master.

Even, there is not much time left.
.
After washing his feet, Jiang Nan returned to his room.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed.

At this moment, Ke'er tiptoed in.

Jiang Nan was taken aback: "Ker, is there anything else?"

The latter's face was flushed, his head was lowered, and his voice was like a mosquito, "Master...Master, Ke'er is here to warm your bed..."

In the teaching of the Ministry of Etiquette, in addition to basic laundry, cooking, cleaning and tidying up, there will also be a special person to teach the children who are raised as personal maids about bed affairs.

After all, it is close to the body, so you can't use it to talk about life and ideals.

But only this matter, Jiangnan is unacceptable.

Although he also drank flower wine and visited brothels with Monk Xu Hai not long ago.

He has no aversion to such things.

But Kerr was too young.

At the age of fourteen or fifteen, he can only be considered an older child.

People can't, at least they shouldn't.

"Ker, listen to me."

Jiang Nan sat up from the bed, "You are still young, this is not something you should consider."

"I don't know how the Ministry of Rites teaches you, but in my place, you don't need to do this kind of thing now."

Ke'er was taken aback for a moment, looking at Jiangnan's serious expression, without the slightest hint of pretentiousness.

There was mist in her eyes, and she said: "Master, you...you are a good person..."

Jiangnan: "..."

Ah, this... can also be issued a good person card?
Jiang Nan smiled wryly.

After Ke'er left, he shook his head and sat back on the bed.

The supernatural power "God's action" is unfolded.

With the improvement of Dao Xing, the non-existent supernatural powers obtained in Wutie Kingdom are no longer just supernatural powers for traveling quickly.

Spiritual travel, in addition to traveling thousands of miles a day, also represents the ability to travel spiritually.

Similar to the method of the soul going out of the body.

A wisp of consciousness slowly escaped from Jiangnan's body.

Destination - Southwest of the capital, Clan Mansion!
The Qin Daru who was in charge of the "removing the filth" ceremony did not know when he would be back.

Jiang Nan had nothing to do, so he was going to use his mind to investigate first.

It is also good to make preparations for the future lighting of the blue lanterns.

The consciousness penetrated Qingfeng Mansion, walking carefully through the streets and alleys, not daring to take off into the air.

After all, this fortified ancient city is densely covered with various prohibition formations, and it is easy to overturn if one is not careful.

And because of this, the prosperous scene of the capital at night is also reflected in the eyes of Jiangnan.

On the streets and alleys, heavy snow is flying, flutes and drums are noisy, music and music are playing, and restaurants and teahouses are full of lights, like dazzling pearls.

And passers-by, with pearls and jade around their waists and Luo Qi brocade clothes, are extremely luxurious.

On the river boat, dancers dance with their cloud sleeves, and singers sing like orioles, full of prosperity.

All this fell into Jiangnan's eyes, which made him feel agitated.

This is Daxia Capital, the first city of Shangyuan without night.

With emotion in his heart, his thoughts passed through the bustling shops and pedestrians, and went straight to the clan mansion.

As the distance approached, the population became less and less, the noise gradually disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

It is in stark contrast to the prosperity of the city.

Finally, at the end when all the lights were extinguished, a dark high wall appeared in Jiangnan's eyes, like the jaws of a giant beast, far in sight.

Under the high wall, rows of sergeants in black armor and armed with knives were as motionless as sculptures.

Jiangnan carefully manipulated his consciousness, escaped underground, and crossed the black wall and the guarding soldiers.

In front of him was a desolate and dilapidated place.

Scattered rubble, withered houses, lonely streets... let Jiangnan's consciousness even have a "cold" feeling.

At the end of the barrenness, a dark palace blinked unexpectedly in the white snow.

Jiangnan is close.

A crumbling plaque hung on the broken gate, with three large scarlet characters written on it.

——The Clan Mansion.

It was as if there was stinky blood flowing, which made people's hair stand on end.

Jiang Nan lowered his mind, and probed into it a little bit.

So, in the clan mansion.

Behind the ruins full of scattered bones and rotting weapons, he saw a shriveled human head.

Its hair was disheveled, its eyes were open, and it was nailed to the wall by a sword. The never-drying blood flowed down the wall from under its neck.

Just seeing it, Jiang Nan's mind was struck by lightning!

Immediately afterwards, the eyes of the head that had already lost its vitality seemed to move.

Jiang Nan was taken aback, suspecting that he had read it wrong.

The next moment, its shriveled and broken lips slowly squirmed!

Silent lip language conveys words that make people tremble,

—I see you.
