Three days later, on the wide bluestone road in Yingdu City, there was a spacious iron-framed carriage with silk satin draperies hanging from the carriage, and in it sat Xue Ningqing's mother and daughter and the princess's two maids, Qi Yueliuyun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The princess kept touching the back of Xue Ningqing's head with her hand, and a pair of phoenix eyes flashed with worry: "Qing'er, this time my mother accompanied you to the temple to buy the shampoo blessed by the tutor of Nanyou Female University, I heard that it can make the hair grow faster, or it won't be long before the hair will grow." ”

Xue Ningqing disagreed with this, and chuckled: "Mother, those are all the tricks of businessmen, I heard that the tutor of Nanyou Nu Guoda does not make things easily, and the things he makes are also bought by Chen Guo, where will it be our turn to spend the country?" In my opinion, these are ordinary shampoos, but if you bless the monks who are not good at it, I don't know if they will grow green hair. ”

The princess squinted her eyes and said, "Silly boy, the magic supplies sold in the temple can't be fake, this is a priesthood decree issued by Meng Xun, the holy monarch of Qixia Kingdom, and all temples in the five countries must abide by it." ”

Xue Ningqing was embarrassed, and thought: My mother is really too easy to deceive, this temple can even think of gimmicks such as hair growth shampoo, it seems that the god here must be a greedy person! But under the years of war, I can't think of not being greedy for money.

The princess then said: "Also, there is such an unfortunate thing in the family, and you bumped into Qing'er, my mother took you out today just to let God bless you, go to bad luck!" ”

Qi Yue waved the handkerchief in her hand and said in a playful voice: "Princess, I heard that the temple in Yingdu City is not a clean place, and underage girls have disappeared in the temple every month for half a year......"

Liuyun immediately raised his hand to gag her: "Qi Yue! Such things cannot be said or said, they are unlucky! ”

Xue Ningqing immediately became interested and asked, "Liuyun, you let her say!" Qi Yue, is this a rumor or a true thing? How did you go missing? How old is the missing girl? ”

Qi Yue grabbed Liuyun's hand, her eyes flashed, and she said with a colorful voice: "I heard that since the first girl disappeared half a year ago, one will be missing every month." The girls were all over fourteen years old and under sixteen years old, with white skin, black hair, light eyes, and thin figures. All of them disappeared after they were separated from their parents in the temple, and three of them disappeared in a row, and then the commoners did not dare to bring their daughters to the temple with such a good look. The three who disappeared afterwards were all secretly disfigured in the temple after hearing the rumors and being curious. ”

Xue Ningqing muttered to herself: "Since there is a fixed time and a fixed preference, it is not an ordinary wandering, at least it should be a kidnapping, but these are the children of civilian families, what good can it do to kidnap them?" It seems that this should be a serial case with no clear motive! Black hair, light eyes, thin build, white skin, sounds familiar......"

At this time, the princess scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, you shallow little maid!" Qing'er, we don't listen to her, there is a mother, no one dares to do anything to you! ”

"Huh? I? Xue Ningqing suddenly realized at this time that she herself also matched the appearance characteristics of these missing people, "I'm not afraid, I'm afraid that person won't appear!" ”

The princess was really angry, and her face was as bright as water: "Qing'er, don't be willful and naughty!" When you go to the temple, you are not allowed to run around, follow your mother! ”

It's strange to go to the temple and not run around!

Humming secretly in his heart, Xue Ningqing's thoughts turned again: "Black hair, dark hair, in the past, this point was not particularly prominent in the work, only in Western countries will pay attention to hair color, in the cases I have received, the murderer who likes to dye light hair is different, while in the West, there are relatively few murderers who like dark hair." There is the symbolic nature of old acquaintances when the murderer has not yet grown up, and there is also pure preference. Is the murderer in the disappearance of the temple because of the deep impression left by people who knew him in the past? Or is it pure preference? ”

"If it's the former, then he's not a completely pure pervert, and if it's the latter, then it's a bit of a marginal person. The disappearance case is once a month, and there is no development in half a year, it seems that the murderer is growing very slowly, and there is a turning point in the middle, that is, after three months, no parents have brought such a child over, but there is no case of disappearance outside the temple area, that is, even if he can't find a suitable object, he will not take the initiative to go out to look for it, which should be a good sign, which means that it is very likely that the missing girl has not been killed. ”

In addition, this also shows that he did not have the need to commit the crime on his own initiative, it must be for other reasons...... The biggest possibility is that when these girls met him, they said something specific or did something! It aroused the special idea in his heart! If it is said that the crime was motivated by a specific act of words, it means that these girls are a symbol of some old acquaintance of him, a symbol of some unforgettable experience of him! ”

Thinking of this, she summed it up: "At least half of the missing girls are still alive, and most of the motives are not hostile, so it can be seen that the perpetrator is a man, twice the age of the girl, that is, about thirty years old, his appearance is either extremely beautiful or extremely ugly, he can attract the attention of the girl, his characteristics are obvious, if I can see him, I should be able to perceive it immediately." ”

After making up their minds, the carriage also came to the gate of the temple, and the four of them got out of the carriage and walked towards the temple.

Qi Yue Liuyun supported the princess left and right, and Xue Ningqing followed closely behind the princess, constantly talking to the princess to slack her attention: "Mother, it's the first time I've seen the temple, it's all white as I thought!" ”

"There are so many people who come to the temple, it seems that everyone has come to pray for blessings after years of war."

"Mother, look, there's a big bird over there, what kind of bird is that?"

As he spoke, his footsteps moved backwards, and when he turned around, he immediately rushed out quietly, taking advantage of the crowd of believers in the temple as a cover, and walked all the way to the depths of the temple.

Walking around the temple, you will see white stone domed buildings everywhere, like the unity of churches and mosques in the old world.

Walking all the way to the back of the temple, inside a bell pavilion, she boredly pulled the bell rope that hung on the side, and from the top of the bell pavilion came a distant sound of bells.

After knocking for a while, he was about to walk back the way he came, but when he turned around, he ran into a man in a monk's white robe, who was long and looked down at him.

Xue Ningqing looked up, his eyes were straight and he was stunned for a moment, only to see that the man's expression was peaceful, there was an indescribable temperament, he was very handsome, especially his eyes, a circle of deep purple, close to the black pupils were iris like blue flowers.

Xue Ningqing praised in her heart: "Such a beautiful pair of eyes, like a dream......" But he trembled, and then he was shocked: "What a beautiful pair of eyes, like a dream?" Is that the phrase? Her whole body trembled, as if she had opened a memory that she had forgotten, and suddenly a dim scene of flickering candles flashed before her eyes, and she immediately lost her mind, and in her vague memory, she remembered that she had once said to a man that his eyes were beautiful, like the sea. This memory had been forgotten by her deeply, and now it flashed in her mind!

The monk looked at her silently, as if waiting patiently, and spoke slowly: "Are you waiting for someone here?" ”

Xue Ningqing came back from his distraction, but he was entangled in his heart: "Do you want to say this sentence?" How will he subdue me when he speaks up? Should I fight back? If I didn't say it, he wouldn't kidnap me, and if I didn't get kidnapped by him, I wouldn't know where the other girls were......"

After gritting his teeth, he was decisive in his heart, with a trace of concentration in his eyes, and sighed in his mouth: "Mentor, your eyes are so beautiful, like a dream. ”

The eyes of the person in front of him seemed to have lost his soul, and his pupils dilated in an instant, and then slowly recovered, his hands clenched in his sleeves, and he looked at Xue Ningqing for a long time.

Xue Ningqing's heart was beating wildly, she was waiting for his move, although she knew that he was about to do it to herself, but she was afraid of this unknown scene, as if she touched the secret that she could not explore in the depths of her memory, the buried memories, she couldn't understand the forgotten past.

Faced with the same situation at this time, she could only stand and wait, she wanted to close her eyes and not look at the scene that was about to happen, but she knew very well that if she dodged even a penny at this time, her whole plan would be in vain.

Her eyes stared unblinkingly into the dreamlike eyes of the person in front of her, forcing herself to show an expression of intoxication.

Suddenly, the hand in the monk's sleeve was quickly withdrawn, and he grabbed a blue spell ball in his hand, which was directly covered Xue Ningqing's forehead and pushed it. This move completely dispelled the tension in Xue Ningqing's heart, and she was more afraid of the hand pinching it directly than such a very magical picture, or carrying a stack of Juanpa sprinkled with drugs.

It was also the first time she had seen someone else cast magical powers.

Xue Ningqing regained a trace of calm, she didn't resist at all, it wasn't that she didn't see his magic power coming towards her, but she didn't want to resist, at least for now, she was only arrested, not killed, and when it was really her turn to kill herself, it was difficult to guarantee whether he would succeed in the end.

When the mana ball covered his forehead, Xue Ningqing's eyes darkened and he lost consciousness, which turned out to be an ordinary sleeping spell.
