Shiqingmen's strangeness, the two of them have finally figured it out now. But I don't understand one thing, why did this old man bring them here?

If it is really related to the Lingshan Army, is it a trap set by them?

"You don't have to worry. The old man stood up, holding the crutches in his hands, but he still felt like a swallow.

"What is left of my Shiqing Sect now are just children who don't want to stay in this terrible hereditary lineage. The old man touched Chen Li's head, unexpectedly, he was very obedient, "I want to get out of the predicament, but I can't get out......"

"You don't want to rely on us?" Yu Qian smiled indifferently, "Don't you look down on us." ”

"Did the fifth prince ever hear a terrible legend when he was a child?" the old man's voice was hoarse, sometimes on the roof, sometimes at his feet, unpredictable, "There was once a bad guy in a village who gave birth to a child, and after the bad guy was beaten away by the villagers, the child survived. Many people in the village said that the child was destined to become a bad person and harm the villagers when he grew up. So, he was thrown into the wolves and left to fend for himself. ”

After that, the child luckily didn't die, but he also lost his humanity. Because he thought he was a wolf from beginning to end. And it is natural for wild wolves to eat people. The old man straightened up and said, "That's it, the villagers were all killed, and only the wild wolf survived." But if he had lived in the village, perhaps he could still have been a human being. ”

Dongfang Qingqian remembered that when she was a child, the killing in the wood, she never thought that those who killed people would have any feelings. Now, of course, she thinks the same way. But what about their children? If that's what the old man said, what is the sin of those children?

"Still thinking about that story?" Yu Qian flicked her head lightly.

"When I was a child, I couldn't remember the memories in the barrel because it was so cruel and terrible. I hated all the people there, and even killed them with my own hands. She looked at her palm, as if she was blooming a faint blood lotus, "But...... Why are they so indiscriminate?"

Yu Qian's hand was tightly attached to the blood lotus, as if it had melted the ice, and it immediately sprouted with rejuvenation.

"This ...... It's a bad memory, but it's also the one I can't forget. ”

"Why?"

"No reason. He just smiled lightly, perhaps, because there were Xuanqi and Xiaoli in this memory.

The courtyard of Shiqingmen is like a labyrinth, and Chen Li took a long day to get to the wing.

Although they were only less than half a pillar of incense away from the palace, the old man insisted on letting them stay, like what would happen in the palace tonight.

Lan Yi could only prepare in advance, disguising the illusion that Dongfang Qingqian and Yuqian were still in the palace.

"Sovereign, your room has arrived, and tonight should be a sleepless night, drink more tea. Chen Li respectfully stepped back.

She didn't know if Chen Li at this moment could be said to be the real Chen Li, or the person who talked about it at the banquet that day. It's clearly two people......

"Wait!" Qing Qian suddenly stopped him, "Where's the guest room of the fifth prince?"

Chen Li smiled faintly and pointed to the room in front of him.

"What about mine?"

Yu Qian had already recalled, and his fingertips slid down on her shoulder, "Tonight is a sleepless night, stay well, don't think about it." ”

This sentence seems to be said first.

After nightfall, lanterns are lit up and down the Shiqing Gate, and I don't know who likes to hang this kind of red lantern, maybe there are also people whose hereditary hobby is this, right?

When it was time for dinner, the old man didn't send them to the front hall, but just instructed Chen Li to bring the prepared food.

Dongfang Qingqian happened to be curious, so he pulled Chen Li and asked, "What's the matter with this red lantern?"

Chen Li replied truthfully, "There is a young junior disciple in the door, his ancestors made lanterns, and it is said that he once made lanterns for the royal family. But later, because he was framed and expelled from the palace, the younger brother did so, I am afraid that he wanted to see the monarch. ”

"See me?" Dongfang Qingqian didn't feel nonsensical at this moment, but was a little interesting.

Yu Qian asked on the side, "Your Shiqingmen is really interesting...... Collecting tea, making red lanterns, what else?"

Chen Li replied hesitantly, "There is a senior sister who has been working as a female worker since she was a child, because her grandmother's beautiful picture of the country has not yet been completed, and there is also a junior brother, who is a little older, who is immersed in hard study every day, just for the dream of her ancestors who once wanted to be the champion. ”

Dongfang Qingqian smiled embarrassedly, "Can ...... Dongfang Guo has long canceled the imperial examination, and it is impossible for him to ...... in his life"

Chen Li sighed, "So what? That is the wish of his ancestors, but all his children must fulfill it." Even if he didn't have the imperial examination, he had to study diligently, and when the day came when the monarch was willing to resume the imperial examination, that was when he untied this hereditary shackle. ”

"It's weird. Yu Qian took a sip of hot tea, "What is the reason why this Shiqing Sect has been able to last so long? In other words, what is the reason why those descendants will be willing or desperate to do things for them." ”

This is strange, even if it is for the sake of filial piety, how can it be possible to keep trying, knowing that it is impossible?

The candle flame was dancing, and what Chen Li said, maybe they all knew.

"Because of the Soul Loss Pill. ”

The Soul Loss Pill that killed her that day can make the person who takes the medicine obey the wishes of the bloodline heir. Chen Anrong has killed so many people for this, is the charm of this soul-losing elixir so cruelly hereditary, but this will only harm future generations, what kind of grand cause can we talk about?

This is also the reason why there is no blood relationship in the Lingshan Army, but they still swear to obey Shangguan Yueqian.

"So, when the Shiqing Sect established the sect, the head of the sect let all the disciples swallow the Soul Losing Pill?"

Chen Li nodded, this is why, after that, the children and grandchildren of these people will exist to fulfill the wishes of their ancestors. How can such an existence be regarded as a person?

Just like the story told by the old man, if a person was named a wolf to live, then he could only be a wolf.

"The so-called Shiqing Sect ......" The contemptuous smile on the corner of Yu Qian's mouth, the candle flame was retracted a little because of this, "For the sake of selfish desires, it is the descendants who are harmed." Once a small greed of his own, it has become a haze that the younger generations can no longer erase. Scold...... It's really funny. ”

"You're talking funny at this time, isn't it too cold-blooded? Dongfang glanced at him.

Yu Qian shook his head and looked at Chen Li, "Then what do you want us to do?"

"I want to ......" Chen Lizheng was in a dilemma.

At this moment, the fire in the palace flickered, and all the peace of the night was swallowed up in that firelight......
