Although Shu E was not afraid of ghosts and gods, she was terrified by Qixian's tone. Because at this moment, Qixian is not talking about ghosts and gods, but a life, and it is full of weirdness, and it disappears in front of your eyes.

It was as if it was that day, in the Yaoyang Pavilion that day, I watched Xiao Yingzi drink poisoned wine, and watched Xiao Yingzi spit blood out of her mouth. However, Shu E didn't have time to stop it.

This clear memory of death is as if you strangled a person with your own hands, and you can't do anything about watching him die.

Shu E finally understood why from the first time he saw Qixian, he found that there was such obvious awe for Gonggong Chu in his eyes and demeanor. I also know why Lu Dao gave him a piece of wishful silver that day, and the seven strings are so happy.

Qixian said as if to himself, "But I didn't dare to go, and finally ran away." Don't dare to say it to anyone. It wasn't until the well became stinky and someone found the body that people said that Xiao Weizi had fallen down. I found Si Tianjian [Note] an official who didn't know what it was, saying that the stars were unfavorable in July, and that the place where the well rose was not good. Later...... "Qixian pulled the red thread on his hand fiercely, wrapped it tightly around his fingertips, and only strangled his fingers into sections, and the roots were red. It seems that only in this way can the pain be numb, and the shock and chaos in my heart can be forgotten for a while, "Later, the body was not salvaged, and the well was filled ......"

"I ...... He found me, and I de......served it," Qixian seemed to have made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said these words, but after a while, he whimpered again: "But I don't want to die like this...... I don't want to die yet......"

Shu E knew that his crying like this, no matter who saw it, would cause disaster. Moreover, what is coming out of the mouth of the seven strings at this moment is a hidden murder case. Shu E's palms were also damp for a while, Yin Si, hell, retribution, circulation, the things that were complicated in the copied Buddhist scriptures, gradually faded away from the ethereal figure, and were clearly presented in Shu E's mind little by little.

However, she clearly knows that this is not the time to be afraid.

"You are already a person who will not be saved when you see death, and if you die at this moment, you will not be accompanied by an unjust life, so that the netherworld will add a wronged ghost who died in vain." Shu E's voice sounded coldly in Qixian's ears.

Nanchi's eyes widened with horror, and he was shocked to the extreme, but he calmed down, no longer choked, no longer sobbed.

"If you die, the only person in the world who is aggrieved for Wei Ping, who is not worthy of him, and who can avenge him, will be gone. The person who killed him unknowingly went to a big trouble. Shu E reached out and pulled Qixian's forearm and asked him to stand up. Sure enough, after this short period of calm, Qixian's legs no longer trembled.

"If I were Wei Ping, even if I resented you in my heart, I would definitely not want you to die." Shu E looked at Qixian's eyes and said word by word: "If you know that I died unjustly, you must avenge me, otherwise, I will die blindly!" ”

Shu E's voice was cold and clear, and even she couldn't help but feel terrified. However, Qixian's stiff hand finally opened slowly, untying the red thread that was tightly wrapped around his hand.

Shu E calmed down, smiled lightly at Qixian, and tried her best to maintain a calm and dignified voice: "If there are no ghosts and gods in the world, your nonsense is to scare yourself; If there really are ghosts and gods, you look like you are so soulless and soulless, you have given them an opportunity to take your life. As he spoke, he lowered his voice even lower: "Not to mention whether there are ghosts or gods, just your words and what you know about the Dao are enough for the living to send you to the ghost gate." ”

Qixian exclaimed: "It's Chu ......" However, looking at Shu E's tight gaze, he swallowed the rest of the words into his stomach.

"Did you listen to what I said?" Shu E asked rhetorically.

Qixian nodded, although his face was still pale, but there was already a determined look in his eyes.

Shu E smiled and said in a very low voice: "If you go to save Wei Ping at that time, I'm afraid even you will die." Two years ago, you were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and this self-reproach of yours was a great conscience and righteous anger. Wei Ping has a spirit, and he will definitely understand. It's just the fear in your heart, and you have to resolve it yourself. ”

Seven Strings pondered for a moment, and finally nodded heavily.

Lanchuan's flute is still remembered from afar, and the sound is indescribably melodious and tactful.

Shu E raised her chin at the well in the courtyard and motioned for Qixian to fetch water to wash her face.

Qixian's footsteps became a little staggering because of the violent fright, but there was no hesitation. Shu E followed into the small courtyard of Lanchuan, a small courtyard, although not as spacious as the residence in the palace, but it was full of flowers and trees, very quiet and elegant.

The pavilion in the courtyard is connected to the houses by a long corridor. On the left and right sides of the cloister are lush flowers and trees.

Shu E looked at this pavilion, and there was a piano on the stone table of the pavilion. Shu E knew that this was Lanchuan's daily place to play the qin, so she sat down at the end of the corridor far away from the pavilion, and watched Qixian wash away her tears. Qixian's eyes were still spontaneously red, and his face had not yet recovered from his paleness, but his eyes were clear, and the corners of his mouth already had a hint of relief and a smile of relief, and his childish face suddenly had the perseverance of an adult. It seems that at that moment just now, the seven strings have grown a lot.

Qixian walked up to Shu E, bowed down and whispered, "Madam, do you want to tell my family officials about this?" As he spoke, there was a look of hesitation on his face, and then he said: "Just tell the official that the little one is afraid that it will affect him." But the little man is soft-spoken, and he is afraid that no one will believe it. ”

Shu E smiled and said, "If you can trust me, tell me what?" It's just that...... I'm not sure, but I'm just doing my best. ”

Qixian hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, madam." You are a golden body, how can you wade into this troubled water. ”

Shu E smiled: "Help you, how is it to wade into troubled waters?" With a smile on his face, he said, "If you are really guilty, why not make a righteous and bright verdict?" Covering people's eyes and ears like this is just killing people and killing people. Alas...... The people of my Yong'an Hall died in vain, and I didn't have anything to ......" Speaking of this, Shu E suddenly thought of what the queen said in the Gyeongbok Palace. If you don't know, you can't do it unless you do. That Yingyu wine...... It's not just yourself who is suspicious.

Qixian looked at Shu E, and suddenly knelt down on both knees.

Shu E hurriedly stood up and asked Qixian to get up. Qixian just looked up at Shu E, his voice was not high but he was very sure: "Qixian is not here, and he must protect his wife's safety and safety." ”

Shu E looked at Qixian's sincere face, as well as those bright and clear eyes, listening to such words that were better than any oath, her heart was moved, but her face couldn't help but turn red. I hurriedly asked Qixian to get up, but I didn't know what to say for a while.

The two were relatively speechless, and after a while, Shu E suddenly asked: "You just said that people said that Xiao Weizi was also ...... The unjust soul found a stand-in, but what happened? ”

Note: Si Tianjian: official name, official signature. The official office in charge of the astronomical calendar, Tang Zi from the first year of Qianyuan (758), called Si Tiantai; Before the reform of the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty Yuanfeng, it was called Si Tianjian. The chief officers are all called prisoners and young eunuchs. The officials of southern Liaoning and the Yuan both have Si Tianjian. The chief official of the Liaosi Heavenly Prison is not called a prisoner, but is called Taishi Ling.
