Chapter 211 Returning to the Heart is like an Arrow
Chen Qiongnian could feel his grief from Lu Bu's trembling back and whispered to comfort him: "Mr., this is the case, you don't have to be so sad, take care of yourself."
Lu Buyao nodded and sighed softly: "Shixing, Shixing, you left quietly, let the teacher have the face to see the prince..." The prince he mentioned was naturally Jing Wang Long Mingda.
Chen Qiongnian has always understood Lu Buyao's thoughts and can understand his pain at this time. Lu Buyao spent most of his life to cultivate Long Shixing, but ended up like this. For him, it means the collapse of his faith. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. In fact, Chen Qiongnian had long seen that Long Shixing could not accomplish great things.
Lu Buyao wiped away his tears: "Have you found out who the murderer is?"
"There is a killer organization called the second day of the second month of the second month that they did it, but now there is no evidence." Chen Qiongnian understood in his heart that the person who killed Long Shixing had cut off his ears and life roots. Such a method was not only cruel but also extremely insulting. If it was really done on the second day of the second month of the second month, then the cut organs would be in their hands.
Lu Buyao said: "Do you know what happened to Long Xixi?"
Chen Qiongnian told the truth: "Someone reported to the Ministry of Justice, but the case was too small, so..."
"Is it small?" Lu Buyao asked back.
Chen Qiunian was speechless.
Lu Buyao said: "As soon as Qin Lang left, Long Xixi was attacked. Although she was demoted to a commoner, she was of the blood of the Long family. The leader of the Banyue Sect, Murong Binggu, went to Jinyuan to kill her regardless of his identity, and kept saying that he wanted to take revenge on Qin Lang. Why didn't he chase Qin Lang to kill Qin Lang? Is it a master who made a difficult task for a weak woman?"
Chen Qiongnian said: "You saved her?"
Lu Buyao said: "I am no longer afraid of any trouble. Shixing finally gave him the emperor's punishment for his death. He had already become a monk, so why did he still run away? He had no intention of fighting for the throne at all, so why did he have to force him to a dead end?"
Chen Qiongnian said: "My teacher, it is reported that Kongfa died in the second hand on the second day of the second month."
"It's again to take revenge on Qin Lang? It's so ridiculous!" Lu Buyao roared angrily.
Of course, Chen Qiongnian knew that the so-called revenge was just an excuse: "My teacher was the three generations of imperial teachers and the pillars of the country. You should know that the changes in imperial power have been accompanied by bloodshed."
Lu Buyao said, "Don't you die enough? King Liang died, Prince Qing has become a monk, but he can't escape death after all. Who will be the next one?" He pointed at himself, then pointed at Chen Qiunian.
Chen Qiongnian's heart suddenly sank.
Lu Buyao said: "You and I know what the emperor looks like. Sooner or later, women will be in charge of the family. If something happens to him..." He laughed miserably and walked out tremblingly.
"Teacher!"
Lu Buyao said sadly: "I just hope that I can cultivate the "Eight Tribes and Comprehensive Mirror" in my lifetime."
Lu Buyao came outside, and the sky was dim, just like his mood at the moment.
Chen Qiongnian chased him out and saw him off. Lu Bu waved his hand and said that he didn't need it. Chen Qiongnian still insisted on sending him to the carriage and helped Lu Buyao into the carriage with his own hands.
After sitting firmly, Lu Buyao lifted the curtain and said to Chen Qiongnian: "Don't let Long Xixi know about this."
Chen Qiongnian nodded, but thought to himself that this matter was unacceptable. He originally wanted to block all the news, but on the second day of the second month, the news had spread everywhere, and now it was already full of storms.
Watching the carriage leave, Chen Qiongnian couldn't help but think of Qin Lang who was sent to hunt Bian Qianxun. It was obvious that the planner of all this was really Sang Jingtian? He turned around and returned to his room, opened the drawer, and took out two autopsy documents. One of the autopsy documents was Xu Zhongqing and the other of the butler. Although the two were killed naked on the bed, nothing happened between them.
The murderer thought the Ministry of Justice too simply and forged a scene of adultery and murder, but some things cannot be faked, and the people from the Ministry of Justice are not that easy to deceive.
These two documents can fully prove that the so-called adultery is just an illusion of intentional arrangement. Chen Qiongnian fell into deep thought. If the murderer was Bian Qianxun, why did he make such arrangements to slander his wife's reputation and also damage his own face. If it weren't for him, then where did Bian Qianxun go? Have the troops sent by the Ministry of Justice caught up with Bian Qianxun?
Chen Qiongnian closed his eyes tightly and pieced together all the events from beginning to end. Everything began to become clear. When he sorted out the veins and layout like a decoy, he suddenly opened his eyes and took a breath of air conditioning.
Chen Qiongnian stood up suddenly and walked out of the yard slowly.
The old locust tree in the courtyard was left with only the trunks and branches, just like an old man hunched over his shoulders in the cold wind.
A crow stood on the branch, looking at Chen Qiongnian with bright eyes.
Chen Qiongnian stared at the crow. The crow flapped its wings and flew down. When his body was about to reach the ground, it turned into a black smoke. A man in black appeared in the smoke. His face was pale, his eyebrows were like a sword, and a thick layer of black shadow was painted around his eyes. He knelt on one knee in front of Chen Qiongnian: "Wu Lei, please see the master!"
Chen Qiongnian stretched out his right hand and landed on Wulei's head. A green light shone in his palm. Without words, he had already sent all the information he needed to express to Wulei's mind.
After retracting his right hand, he whispered: "Go!"
The snow has not stopped, the wind has become heavier, and the pursuit team is already trapped, so they decided to camp in Qipanling. Although the Ministry of Justice and Xiyu Guard have taken joint action, the camps of both sides are still separated by a distance.
Because of the experience of being besieged by the skeleton army of Jiyuan, I was much more cautious about the site selection of the camp tonight. Gu Xiefei and Wang Houting were on duty, and Qin Lang went to the camp to rest early. He always had a question in his mind. Last night, when the battle was in full swing, he clearly heard Yan Ruyu's voice to stop them from fighting, and everyone heard the sound of the flute. If his judgment was correct, it should be that Yan Ruyu used the sound of the flute to control the skeleton army, but after the army retreated, Yan Ruyu never appeared again.
Qin Lang took out the "Spring and Autumn Wuji Picture" from the Ruyi Gourd, silently summoned Yan Ruyu in his heart, hoping that she would come out to meet and explain what happened last night. After waiting for a long time, there was no reaction.
She put away the "Spring and Autumn Wuji Picture" again and crawled into the quilt. Suddenly she felt a chill. Qin Lang looked at her eyes and saw Yan Ruyu's pretty face close to her under the orchid light. Her appearance was so sudden, a familiar scene, and she was sitting in the same bed.
Qin Lang's face showed a knowing smile. Yan Ruyu looked at him coldly. Although her eyes were still cold, there was no hostility. If you look closely, you could still see that there was a little gentleness hidden deep in her eyes. Moreover, Yan Ruyu's appearance this time was not as bone-broken as that of the past. Although her body temperature was not like that of a normal person, at least it was no longer a piece of ice that refused to melt.
Qin Lang whispered: "Long time no see!"
Yan Ruyu smiled and said in Linggu, "It's been a while since I haven't had enough congratulations. Not only did I marry my wife, but I was promoted." No one can hear anything to Qin Lang in this way.
Qin Lang said: "I want to invite you to have a wedding banquet, but I am afraid that you will delay your retreat and practice."
Gu Xiefei's laughter came from outside, but he relied on his privilege to drink wine.
Yan Ruyu thought she was discovered, and her soul body was leaning against Qin Lang's arms. Qin Lang spread her arms to hug her. This time she felt different from before. It was really no longer as cold as before. It seemed that Yan Ruyu's cultivation was also improved. There was a texture in her soul body that was held in her arms. If the body temperature was the same as that of ordinary people, it would be difficult to tell that she was a female ghost.
Yan Ruyu continued to send a voice to Linggu: "You don't have to speak, listen to me."
Qin Lang nodded.
"Last night, the skeleton army attacked yours in Jiyuan. In the past, all of them were soldiers under my father's command. In the first place, more than 200,000 soldiers of our side died in the Battle of Jiyuan. The Da Yong royal family was despicable and shameless. They actually used the Yin-Yang Wuji Map to open the Ghost Domain and borrowed troops from the Ghost King."
Qin Lang heard Xiao Honglei talk about this incident, and now Yan Ruyu, the witness of the incident, confirmed it personally.
Yan Ruyu said: "The soldiers who were killed by the army of the Ghost Realm have become wandering souls on the battlefield. The Ghost King is worried about revenge, so their wandering souls are not allowed to enter the Ghost Realm. Over the past century, hundreds of thousands of wronged souls have been floating in the ancient battlefield of Jiyuan. Ordinary corpse drivers can indeed drive skeletons and corpse corpses, but generally no more than a hundred people. There were at least 3,000 skeletons driven last night. According to this number, the number of corpse drivers must be at least thirty, but I found that there is only one real manipulator."
Qin Lang thought to himself, then isn’t this person very powerful?
He didn't speak at all, and Yan Ruyu had already understood what he meant: "Except for people like you who have special physiques, even the sixth level of soul refining cannot reach this level unless it is a ghost-controlling master from the Ghost Realm."
Qin Lang was shocked. Didn’t the ghost realm and the human realm rely on the Yin-Yang Wuji Map to open the path? How could the ghost master from the ghost realm be brought back?
Yan Ruyu said: "At that time, Emperor Da Yong relied on "Yinyang Wuji Map" to open the door of the Ghost Domain, summoned the army of the Ghost Domain, and massacred our soldiers. After they used despicable means to win, the Ghost Domain Army returned to the Ghost Domain, but some of the injured Ghost Warriors did not leave as they wished."
Qin Lang was a little strange. Can ghosts be injured? Seeing Yan Ruyu, I couldn't help but remember the scene when she was injured in Dabaoen Temple.
Yan Ruyu really saw him clearly tonight: "Of course ghosts will be injured. In the mild case, the soul power will be damaged, and in the severe case, the soul body will not be protected. You seem to be a little discriminating against our ghost clan."
Qin Lang shook his head and said that he had no intention of this. He raised his hand and accidentally touched Yan Ruyu's chest. After all, it was normal to lie in a quilt and bump. He felt that Yan Ruyu's soul body was really good at practicing it, soft and elastic. Suddenly, he realized that no matter what he thought, he could see through it by Yan Ruyu, and he was a little nervous.
Yan Ruyu said: "Dengtu, believe it or not, I will chop your arm down."
Qin Lang stretched out his left hand and touched his face, then shook his head.
Yan Ruyu subconsciously retreated a little, and she still held deep awe of Shenming in Qin Lang's arm.
Qin Lang looked at Yan Ruyu's flawless pretty face and felt that she was getting more and more beautiful. The beauty that was not in the world was exclusive to the ghost clan, which was invisible to others.
Yan Ruyu actually escaped his gaze, and then continued the topic just now: "Those ghost warriors who are residing in the human world have become abandoned sons of the ghost realm, and some of them have become ghost masters through unique cultivation methods. They have achieved various goals by manipulating wandering ghosts who are also unable to enter the ghost realm. However, normally, they will not actively attack humans."
Qin Lang spread his arms and naturally hugged Yan Ruyu's shoulders. Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, but did not object, and whispered: "I will track down the ghost master, and he also discovered my existence. He has already retreated. I believe he will not go against you again."
Qin Lang attached himself to her ear and whispered: "How long do you plan to stay this time?"
Yan Ruyu said: "I won't leave for the time being, I want you to help me enter the palace."
"What are you doing when you enter the palace?" Qin Lang actually knew that Yan Ruyu had only one purpose in entering the palace, that is, to assassinate the descendants of the Long family. There was a bloody feud between her and the royal family. Although a hundred years have passed, the hatred is still indelible.
Yan Ruyu said: "You don't have to worry about killing Long's family to take revenge. After so long, I figured out everything. I was just interested in "Yin and Yang Wuji Picture". I practiced in "Spring and Autumn Wuji Picture" and found some secrets. These two pictures have a sense of each other. Haven't you always wanted to find that picture?"
Qin Lang's heart moved, Yan Ruyu should not have deceived herself. "Yin and Yang Wuji Picture" and "Spring and Autumn Wuji Picture" were both written by Li Niu and Ma. Since it is a person's painting, there should be some unknown connection between them.
Chen Hutu started to clean up early in the morning. He developed the habit of getting up early for many years. Every day he was the first to wake up. Gu Xiefei yawned with alcohol and walked over: "It's so early?"
Chen Hutu nodded, saying hello, and he has always been a kind of polite words, and everyone around him has become accustomed to it.
Qin Lang also walked out of the tent, stretched his waist, Gu Xiefei looked at Qin Lang and said, "Why are you dark in your eyes? Didn't sleep well last night?"
Qin Lang smiled and said, "Maybe it's because he is not suitable for the local environment."
Gu Xiefei sniffed. Qin Lang knew that his nose was sensitive and worried that Yan Ruyu's breath would be smelled by him, so he turned around and walked towards the woods.
Gu Xiefei's eyes turned: "There is a ghost!"
Qin Lang said: "Walking the birds, are you here?"
Gu Xiefei shook his head: "If you don't go, I'm inferior!"
Wang Houting, who was standing beside him, smiled, Gu Xiefei glared at him and said, "Where do you want to go? I am not as good as him."
As he came, Qin Lang cleared the inventory. When he was peeing, he found a crow on the top of the tree that was looking down at him from a high place.
Qin Lang smiled at the crow: "I'm disturbing. I don't know if it's your territory when walking the birds in the early morning."
The crow suddenly spoke, "Qin Lang!"
Qin Lang was shocked and quickly put his life away.
The crow flew down from the tree and fell to the ground and had turned into a man in black. He was Wu Lei who was entrusted by Chen Qiunian to report the news.
Qin Lang took a step back and entered a state of fighting in an instant. Those who came were not kind would not come. This guy was a crow spirit. In the past, Qin Lang had encountered a crow spirit named Ye Moyu in Wanhualou. At that time, he and Gu Xiefei joined forces to defeat Ye Moyu and Ji Congliang.
Ure said: "Don't be afraid, I came here to tell you something after being entrusted by someone else."
Qin Lang nodded: "Please speak!"
Wu Lei told him what happened at his home after Qin Lang left. When Qin Lang heard that he had just left, Long Xixi was attacked, and then the murder of his father-in-law happened. He was immediately anxious and wished that he could grow wings under his ribs and fly back to Yongdu immediately.
Wu Lei left immediately after he finished speaking.
Qin Lang walked out of the woods, everyone had packed up the camp and was about to set off again, wondering why he had been there for so long.
Wang Houting found that Qin Lang's face was gloomy and said with concern: "Is something happened?"
Qin Lang nodded: "I may have to return early."
Chen Hutu and Gu Xie all came together, knowing that something big must have happened, otherwise Qin Lang would not have returned halfway.
Qin Lang whispered about the murder of his father-in-law. After several people learned about it, they immediately urged Qin Lang to go back. Chen Hutu said, "You go back as soon as possible. I will be responsible for the pursuit of Bian Qianxun."
Gu Xiefei said: "I'll go back with you."
Qin Lang shook his head and said, "Your horses have no strength in their feet. I will return now. At the speed of the black wind, I should be able to return to Yongdu before dawn tomorrow."
Wang Houting said: "Go, family matters, just leave the matter here to us."
Gu Xiefei said: "Why did something happen to you as soon as you came out of your house? Don't you find it strange? Qin Lang, you must be careful when you go back and never fall into a trap."
In fact, when Qin Lang learned that his father-in-law was killed, he guessed that he had fallen into Sang Jingtian's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. If everything was done by him behind the scenes, then the adopted father would be punished.
Chen Hutu said, "Who is here to report to you?"
"He said he was Ure."
Chen Hutu frowned and before sending Qin Lang on the horse, he whispered: "If there is any problem that cannot be solved, you can go to the Ministry of Justice." Although he did not make it clear, the meaning was clearer. He asked Qin Lang to find his father Chen Qiongnian.
Qin Lang hugged everyone: "Thank you all, the most important thing for everyone to pursue this time is to protect yourself, and nothing else matters are important." Since the pursuit itself is Sang Jingtian's layout to bring him out of Yongdu, it doesn't matter whether he can catch Bian Qianxun. It is wise to preserve his strength and avoid sacrifice.
Everyone watched Qin Lang ride his horse and disappear into the snow field. Gu Xiefei couldn't help but curse: "Damn, we worked hard to catch the murderer, but we were just engaging in conspiracy behind the scenes. We were simply not human."
Wang Houting said: "The team of the Ministry of Justice has set off. Are we keeping up?"
Chen Hutu thought for a while and said, "The way is facing the sky, go one side, and there is no need to ban alcohol from the beginning."
Qin Lang ran wildly, and when it was dark, most of the way home had already left. Although the black wind was divine, it could not let it run without sleep. Qin Lang decided to rest for an hour before leaving.
After looking around, I felt that the environment was a little familiar. Yan Ruyu's voice came from behind and said, "I'm here again."
Qin Lang turned around and saw Yan Ruyu standing in the snow in a long black dress. The silk skirt was light and the night wind blew, and her clothes fluttered. She felt like she was standing on the snow, as if her feet were hanging in the air, fairy-like? Ghost-like!
After hearing what she said, Qin Lang realized that this was Jiyuan, which was fought the night before.
There are only two of them in the empty snow field, so there is no need to worry about being discovered, and Yan Ruyu also appears in her soul body.
Qin Lang had heard her talk about the Battle of Jiyuan. This ancient battlefield had long been soaked in the blood of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Qin Lang was as eager to return and did not want to encounter any twists and turns in the middle. The first thought he had was to leave here so as not to encounter the ghost master again.
Yan Ruyu's delicate body drifted to the distance, and instantly left him half a mile away. Qin Lang used his fast-pruning footwork and quickly followed.
Yan Ruyu noticed that Qin Lang had arrived, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "It seems that you have made a lot of progress just now."
"For your blessing."
Yan Ruyu said, "I won't protect you anything, it will only bring you bad luck." He stopped without any warning, waved his long sleeves, and the snow surface in front separated from the center, exposing the residual monument and base below.
The stone tablet is submerged under the snow surface, so it is difficult to find.
Yan Ruyu brushed away the snow around the broken monument, and the broken monument was completely exposed.
Qin Lang saw that the remaining stele had the words "Eternal" engraved on it, and there were dense runes engraved on the base of the stele.
Yan Ruyu said: "This stone tablet was erected by Xuanyuan Zhuyue, the national teacher of Dayong at that time. It is ostensibly commemorating the soldiers of Dayong who died in the Battle of Jiyuan, but in fact it is used to suppress the undead of our soldiers. Please help me destroy it."
Qin Lang said: "After destroying it, will all the hundreds of thousands of skeleton legions appear?"
Yan Ruyu said: "Actually, this stone tablet has been destroyed and has no effect. I am just angry."
Qin Lang nodded, pulled out the Yanfeng Knife, condensed his soul power and slashed at the residual monument with one sword. A blue soul blade divided the residual monument into two. Qin Lang also absorbed a lot of soul power in the Battle of Jiyuan, and the power of the invisible soul blade also increased a lot. This knife cut the residual monument tofu and cut it to the base.
Qin Lang suddenly released his soul power, and the stone tablet exploded together with the base, turning into thousands of fragments, and a black hole with a black hole appeared at the bottom of the base.
Yan Ruyu was surprised by Qin Lang's powerful soul power and blinked her beautiful eyes. His strength was significantly improved compared to when he fought against Kūkai.
Qin Lang stared at the cave under the stone tablet. Yan Ruyu's real intention of letting him destroy the stone tablet should be here. In the past, he might have been interested in it, but now it is different. He wished he could fly back to Yongdu immediately. If Heifeng hadn't breathed for a while, he wouldn't have stayed here at all.
Hei Feng also came to their side, and Yan Ruyu said: "There were once killed 50,000 prisoners here, and the stone tablet was to suppress their dead souls."
Qin Lang said: "Their souls are still in this place, right?"
Yan Ruyu shook her head: "Everyone tells you that the stone tablet has lost its function."
Chapter completed!
