The pure dust and the swirling waves were placed in two coffins of golden silk nanmu and parked in the main hall of Jiuhua Temple. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yunyang slowly walked into the main hall and saw that the treasure hall was brightly lit, and dozens of monks in robes were sitting around and reciting the "Mantra of Death".

Hearing the muffled chanting here, Yunyang's tears were already rolling in her eyes, and she slowly walked towards the two coffins in the main hall. Liu Fuquan said with some worry: "Niangniang, do you think you can pay respects here?" There's ...... after all."

Yunyang waved his hand and continued to walk forward.

Although he was fully prepared in his heart, when he saw Jingchen's appearance, Yunyang couldn't help but tremble.

Jingchen lying in the nanmu coffin, although his facial features are still delicate, his former white face has turned blue-purple, the corners of his mouth and nostrils are covered with dried blood, and his skin is covered with gray patches.

He gritted his teeth, showing the immense pain he had endured when he died. The slender eyes were slightly open, and the eyes that were as black as lacquer and shining with essence were lifeless, and their pupils began to become cloudy......

Unable to hold back any longer, Yunyang sobbed in a low voice, and after a while, she controlled her emotions and carefully examined Jingchen's wound. Probably to facilitate the inspection, the clothes of the dust and the swirling wave have not been changed, and they are still in the same condition as when they were injured last night.

Jingchen was wearing a thin cotton robe of azure fine arrowroot, and there were more than a dozen dense wounds on his chest, and the blood that flowed out had already dried into a purple-black patch. Despite this, Yunyang could still see the edges of his black holes, and the muscles and skin had broken into irregular jagged shapes.

Yun Yang's eyes darkened, remembering that he had read a weapon book, which recorded that there had been a bone crushing crossbow on the rivers and lakes, this kind of weapon was fired at close range, the speed was extremely fast, and the power was huge, even if it was a top master, it was difficult to have a chance to react.

This weapon also has a vicious design, which is that the crossbow arrows usually look like ordinary arrows, but once they are fired into the victim's body, the flesh and bones of the victim will slow down the speed of the crossbow arrows.

It is this slight deceleration that will touch the small tension spring of the crossbow arrow, and as soon as the tension spring is activated, the smooth arrow will immediately pop out of the eight claws made of stainless steel as sharp as a blade, causing more serious damage to the victim's body.

It seems that Jingchen was killed by this bone-shattering crossbow. Moreover, the bone-shattering crossbow was shot from the back of the pure dust and came out of the chest.

Yunyang looked at Xuanbo's wound again, and she found that the number of crossbow arrows in Xuanbo's body was about the same as the number of arrows in Jingchen's body. The only difference is that the pure dust wound is in the chest, while the swirling wound is concentrated in the neck and below, and the wound surface is smaller, and the wound edge is relatively regular, which shows that this is the incoming end of the bone crushing crossbow.

Comparing the wounds of the two, Yunyang can deduce the scene at that time - after Jingchen found out about the murderer's attack, he did not use the little time he had to protect himself, but turned around and used his body to protect Princess Xuanbo beside him. This is also in line with his consistent style of saving people first.

It's just that, judging from the way the two of them shot a crossbow arrow from their backs and a crossbow arrow from the front, they should have been standing facing each other at that time, and the crossbow arrows shot from the back of the dust chest penetrated Xuanbo's body, as if they should have hugged each other tightly at that time.

This speculation surprised Yunyang himself.

He has also been saved by Jingchen many times, and he remembers that every time he is in danger, Jingchen drags himself behind him, while he holds a tin staff to face the enemy.

Why is it different for the swirling waves this time?

Yun Yang stared at Jingchen's face, and suddenly an idea popped up: "If Jingchen knew that he was at such a close distance, he and Xuanbo would have no life, so he would rush over and hug her tightly, just like to complete the last thought, the most wanted to be realized in his heart." ”

This thought made Yunyang himself quite uneasy, because everyone knew that Princess Xuanbo had descended. But if there is no affection between the two, why would Xuanbo be alone on such an important day as the Yuan Day...... No, in order to avoid leisure, she also brought the painter in the house to Jiuhua Temple and Jingchen to enjoy the plums?

Then Yun Yang thought again, observing the wounds of Jingchen and Xuanbo, he could still find the clues, how could a person like Zhao Yuan who had been killing with swords for a long time not see it?

Why did he come to Qiao Palace last night and only say that Jingchen and Xuanbo were assassinated, but not how they died? Or it can be understood that he deliberately ignored the fact that the pure dust and the whirlwind died in each other's arms.

Royal face - Zhao Yuan must be worried about this, so he sealed this matter and kept it secret. It seems that he was waiting for a suitable opportunity to announce the matter when everyone didn't find it obtrusive.

Although Yunyang can be sure that Jingchen's personality and cultivation will never go beyond Lei Chi, but the assassination of Xuanbo and Jingchen in Jiuhua Temple together is still on such a sensitive day as Yuanri, once this matter spreads, it will be a huge harm to the name of Princess Xuanbo and the reputation of Jingchen.

"I must try to prove their innocence, whether others believe it or not, the emperor must believe it. That's probably the only thing I can do for the two of them. Yunyang secretly made up his mind in front of the coffin of the pure dust.

After seeing Jingchen's remains, Yunyang came to the center of the main hall and respectfully put three pillars of incense on Jingchen and Xuanbo, and then left silently.

On the way back to Hanyang Palace, Liu Fuquan walked next to Yunyang's sedan chair, and he talked to Yunyang without a ride, mainly because he was afraid that the concubine would be too sad and would be seen to be abnormal when he returned to Qiao Palace.

Yunyang understood his hard work, so he naturally didn't feel bored, but was a little moved: "Since I met Zhao Yuan, Liu Fuquan has been running back and forth for himself, and if he hadn't taken care of him openly and secretly on weekdays, his life in Qiao Palace would not have been so peaceful and comfortable." ”

Especially when Jingchen had passed away, Yunyang suddenly felt that there were fewer and fewer familiar people around him, and there were only a few people who could be trusted.

In the conversation with Liu Fuquan, Yunyang learned that Zhao Yuan had ordered someone last night to secretly transport Princess Xuanbo's coffin back to the princess's mansion tonight after the inspection was completed.

Because of the attached horse, he did not return to Luoyang during the Chinese New Year, and the high hall attached to the horse was far away in Linzhou's hometown, so Princess Xuanbo did not return overnight, even if there were people in the house who were concerned, no one dared to mention it blatantly.

The coffin of the clean dust will be returned to Chongzenji Temple in the afternoon. Chongshan Temple was severely damaged not long ago due to the gushing of an underground river, and the original monks of the temple were temporarily placed in the Fajie Temple in the north of the city. Because Jingchen is the host, he has always insisted on staying in the dilapidated Chongshan Temple out of duty, so his temporary disappearance has not attracted much attention from the outside world.

Yun Yang nodded lightly as he listened, and the next thing is conceivable, the royal family will announce the news - Princess Xuanbo died of illness on the third day of the first month.

Not many people will know about the death of Jingchen, and it can only be used as a normal death of monks, and he was hurriedly buried in the stele forest behind Chongshan Temple with an altar burial ceremony.
