Chapter Twenty-Eight: The First Deceased (I)
"Xiaomei didn't know that Zhong Jun was coming, and the slave of the Shu family was so lazy." Mei Niangniang buried her head deeply, and the faint and ethereal voice floated in the flower room, burning out on the candle flame.
Zhong Jun? Is it the master? Dou Xin felt a period of weakness in his body, and knew that his master was awake. Her right hand was raised unconsciously, and she said vaguely, "Get up, you might as well." ”
Mei Niangniang's head was buried in her lap, and in Dou Xin's opinion, she was trembling, as if she was sobbing.
"Xiaomei, the reunion is a happy event. If I can return, I will not let you be wronged again. Not only Mei Niangniang, but even the master's voice was choked. Reunion after a long absence? Is Mei Niangniang a monster and can live so long? Dou Xin overwhelmed his master's mental strength, and reluctantly moved back, away from Mei Niangniang.
Outside the window, the sound of thunder suddenly appeared. Mei Niangniang quickly turned her head to look out the window, and when the firelight flickered, Mei Niangniang wiped her tears with her sleeve with her side face before turning her head and looking directly into Dou Xin's eyes. "Zhong Jun, put away the jade in your hand. That's Sister Hong...... relics. ”
She ...... Didn't he be rescued back to Anya with Rong Rong? Could it be ...... Anya has fallen? Oh, you don't lie to me, if Anya is destroyed, how can you live to see me now. ”
"When my sister left Anya, she left three last curses. As long as Zhong Jun survives, she will be dead. "The grief on Mei Niangniang's face outweighed the joy of reunion." Zhong Jun, you came with your sister's relics, but you didn't see your sister's remains? She's by your side...... It's been a long time. ”
Dou Xin couldn't hear the master's voice, but he didn't know what kind of relationship the two people had, and he didn't know how to persuade each other, so he had to find a way to break the silence first. "This piece of jade was picked up by me, and it is indeed in the hands of a female corpse."
"Where did you pick it up?" Two voices, one from the heart and the other from the ear, eagerly poured into Dou Xin's brain.
"In the cave where the Guanlan Sword is located, Master took me there." Dou Xin replied.
Mei Niangniang was stunned, and only smiled bitterly for a while. "Zhong Jun, my sister didn't fail you, if you complain, you only complain about the people behind Zhong Jun, and refuse to let go of your sister."
"Since she has returned to Anya, how can she still be ...... by my senior brother After I die...... What else happened during my absence? What about Rong Rong, didn't she save her either? “
"Rong Rong fought for the throne, but his temperament has changed. Her Majesty Anya has a noble status, where will she miss her childhood love. My sister is just a pawn when the queen is ambitious to seize power, and she can abandon it later, and it doesn't matter whether she lives or dies. ”
"How it doesn't matter! She's gone! How could Rong Rong not ask! Dou Xin relayed this sentence in a flat tone, hiding the master's roar.
"If Her Majesty is willing to ask, if she doesn't force her sister out of Anya, and her sister doesn't die, Zhong Jun won't stand in front of Xiaomei." Mei Niangniang looked at the person in front of her again, but what was reflected in her eyes was the appearance of a sad and crazy teenager. "My sister is bent on replacing Zhong Jun and coming back, I'm afraid I never thought that Zhong Jun would also be sentimental for her. If it weren't for my mouth, Zhong Jun would never know how he survived. Now, Zhong Jun only has to find your good senior brother, and then borrow a shell of this girl to join forces with Chengtian Pavilion to attack Anya. It's just that at that time, Zhong Jun could only find a Rong Rong you didn't know, and as for the whereabouts of his sister, no one could tell Zhong Jun because no one knew. ”
After a long silence, Dou Xin relayed word by word: "Is the poisonous curse of Rong Rong real?" ”
Mei Niangniang didn't answer immediately, but looked at Dou Xin, the person who calmly relayed life and death. "Girl, how did you get taken a fancy to Kuzen?"
Dou Xin glanced at the palm of his hand, "That person named Hong, was his right hand burned by this stone?" My right hand was also burned and seriously injured, and Master healed me. ”
"Hmm. No wonder Kuzen changed your palm prints, it turned out to be for you to be a substitute for the dead. Mei Niangniang finally stood up and said intermittently: "When Her Majesty was tortured in Tianlan Palace, she made a poisonous curse...... When the time comes, none of you, Anya, will be able to escape...... After she returned to Anya...... This curse has never been mentioned...... She wants Anya to die with this place......"
"The Heavenly Pavilion was set up by you to solve spells? Qi Yu is also from Anya, and this gossip inn was built by you to hide your traces? "The mood of the host calmed down a bit.
The strong smell of gunsmoke came into the flower room, and Dou Xin heard a voice calling for himself in the courtyard, and hurriedly stood up to respond, but his mouth was covered by his right hand, and soon his whole body lost strength.
Dou Xin seemed to be lying on a wooden plank, floating on the dark water, and the moment the plank hit the shore, the surroundings lit up.
In the acacia forest with bright red fruits, two little girls jumped down the slope and happily called "Zhong Jun". Both men's faces are blurred.
Yishanjun's voice sounded in his ears: "Don't worry, Master." We will guard the Tianlan Palace and will not let the witches invade our land. Brother, isn't it? ”
"Senior brother, where did you hide those two witches!"
"Senior brother, I'm sorry."
The voice gradually became chaotic, and Yishanjun's voice was always heavy and stern, mixed with a few distant women's screams. The scene in front of Dou Xin's eyes fell on the black arrow rain again, and before she lifted the white cloak, she saw Yishanjun with an angry face after the arrow rain. Turning his head again, the two cheerful women on the acacia forest, one of whom had changed into a blood-colored red dress, stood at the end; One was wearing a long white dress wrapped in a dark purple shirt, holding a long sword, and his palm was still dripping with blood.
The picture became extremely clear, and Dou Xin saw these past events. The witches expanded their territory, burned and plundered wherever they went, no one survived, and the people of Tianlan Palace swore to defend the land. During this period, Guanlan Jun and Hongsheng fell in love. The witch Rong Rong seems to have a noble status, and was caught by Yishan Jun to coerce the witch to retreat. Later, for some reason, Rong Rong was about to be tortured by ten thousand arrows through the heart. On the court, Hong suddenly appeared to rescue Rong Rong, but Guanlan Jun couldn't save him, so he stood on Hong's side and died together.
"Love." Dou Xin held up the white cloak and couldn't help but sigh. The rain of arrows brought a soft wind, blowing Dou Xin's clothes and hair, and the fear that had been indifferent had long since turned into a deeper doubt: Why did this happen in his dream? If the master chose to be a substitute for the dead because of a burn on his right hand, then whose substitute was the ghost? Why is his name so similar to that woman named Hong? There is also that piece of jade, when he picked it up, Guanlan Jun was not yet awake, why did he have such a strong sense of familiarity with the female corpse and the jade? Dou Xin was shocked to realize that it was not the master who pulled him into this matter, he was inextricably linked to this matter.
Dou Xin pinched her arm and forced herself to wake up, she wanted to listen to Mei Niangniang explain things clearly. Dou Xin clearly watched as his two arms were bruised by himself, but he was still in the rain of arrows, and he hadn't woken up from the nightmare yet. "Red Bean, let's go, leave him alone!" A familiar voice shouted. The broken sword fell next to Dou Xin's feet, and the two words "Guanlan" were clearly reflected in his eyes on the two pieces of the broken sword.
Wrong! This sword is not like this! Dou Xin looked up suddenly, and his eyes were pierced by the bright light.
The smell of gunpowder has not yet dissipated, and the candles in the flower room are burning to the bottom. Dou Xin jumped up from the mahogany chair and frightened the little county lord who was arranging the broken candles on the side.
"My mother has already gone out, there are so many candles burning in the house, and there is no ventilation, are you not afraid of sleeping here and dying?"
"Gone, where did you go? I still have something to ask her! Dou Xin staggered out the door and plunged into the snowdrift at the door.
"Reckless." The little county lord walked out of the flower room, saw that Dou Xin was covered in dirty snow, and whispered a reprimand. "My mother said that I can go out with you in the future. Also, this is the jade pendant that my mother gave you, and I put it away. The little county lord pointed to Dou Xin's neck, and Dou Xin pulled out a plum-shaped mutton fat jade pendant.
"With it, you're the master of those purple-clothed servants." The little county lord smiled. "They don't even have to listen to me now."
Dou Xin was anxious: "What do I want to do with this!" Small...... No, Mei Niangniang! ”
