Chapter 45: The Demon Fountain Appears
I just saw the careful book friend Mo Yaqin's big reminder, and I knew that the forty-fifth chapter was not passed on before, and now I will make up for it! It's also a big chapter of 5,000 words!
Thinking of this, she found a jade bottle, filled a bottle of Lingtan water, and hung it on her chest, thinking about drinking and detoxifying from time to time.
When she was done, she flashed out, poured a mouthful of water into the pool, and continued to explore the strange pool.
And the owner of the poisonous mist, thinking that she had been dissolved into ashes, did not pay attention, but was attracted by another matter.
Su Qing, who was working hard to explore, didn't know that he had quietly escaped, and naively thought that the biggest danger was the dense fog in front of him.
By this time, she had carefully swirled around the strange pool, and found nothing but the beasts that had disappeared after the constant plunge.
From time to time, she stretched out her hand, inspected her nails, and kept pouring water into the spiritual pool, and after a while, she felt that her abdomen was swelling, and she drank too much water, which was also troublesome!
Although she is a monk, she can't open the valley yet, and the reincarnation of the five grains is naturally inevitable, and at this time, she can't care about the whereabouts of the beast, so she hurriedly runs out.
'Bang! I don't know what I tripped under my feet, and I fell to the ground solidly, and she was cracking her mouth in pain!
'What a thing, it hurts me!' Su Qing rubbed her arms while vigorously pushing the culprit for her fall.
'Huh? Is there a word on this? Su Qing saw the golden light flashing on the stone tablet she was kicking underfoot, so she squatted down to look.
I saw three golden words engraved on the stone tablet, 'Demon Spring'
She groped for the stele with her hand and muttered; 'What is the Demon Spring?' Don't? ’
The place where the palm was bruised was seeping into the beads of blood, and the Lingtan water in the jade bottle on her chest happened to sprinkle some on the palm of her hand when she pounced, and the water fused with the blood and quietly seeped into the stone tablet.
Suddenly, there was a flash of golden light in front of him, and the stone tablet under his hand was gone!
Su Qing opened his mouth wide, and subconsciously clenched his hands, "En? She felt a hard thing in her hand, and when she opened her hand, it turned out to be a small stone tablet, on which was written the Demon Spring, three small golden characters.
Hey, this stele is still a magic artifact? It can be reduced, Su Qing said secretly, whatever, take it first!
After putting the stele into the space of the Immortal Orchard, she cast the Wind Technique, and returned to the formation in a moment, and was about to enter it, when she found that the formation had changed.
She sent a note to Liang Qingyuan, waited for a long time, and did not reply, and sent another note to Qiao Xiaojia, but there was still no reply.
She waited outside the formation for three days, but there was still no news, she was anxious, but she was helpless.
She didn't know anything about the formation path, and at this time she hated that she hadn't read the formation book, what kind of formation could isolate the messenger?
In fact, what she didn't know was that the teleportation charm had a distance limit, and it couldn't be received if it was too far away.
There has been no reply for so long, and it is very likely that they have left or fallen.
Half a month later, Su Qing found that the formation opened automatically, she was ecstatic, ran in to take a look, there was no one around, only thirteen thatched huts were left, Qingtan had disappeared, leaving only a big pit!
Su Qing sat on the ground in a dejected manner, and unconsciously burst into tears.
After a long time, she wiped away her tears, got up and looked at the quietly standing hut, clenched her fists, and walked out.
Su Qing walked around the neighborhood for a long time, but he didn't find the whereabouts of Qiao Xiaojia and the others, and he was a little sure that it might be that Fuyun sent someone to pick them up.
Otherwise, the formation will not be as complete as it is, and besides, Liang Qingyuan and the others have not cultivated, if no one comes to answer, how can there be traces of the road around.
Thinking of this, she looked for a way out with peace of mind, in order to reduce the danger, she collected her breath, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and after half a month, she finally came to the big mulberry tree.
Looking at the tall mulberry wood, Su Qing was full of emotion, when he came, a group of dozens of people, although everyone was not familiar with it, but it was quite lively together, in just two months, only he was left standing here, worried about the life and death of his friends and a dozen other companions.
After standing under the mulberry wood for a long time, she suddenly felt at a loss, she only remembered that she was passed into the formation, but she didn't know how to get out.
I circled around the mulberry tree, but she still couldn't think of a way to get out, so she simply leaned and sat under the tree, leaning on the trunk in a daze.
The fingers unconsciously slammed the trunk of the tree, and unconsciously knocked a small hole in the bark, and the finger was stuck in it.
Su Qing came back to his senses, withdrew his fingers, rubbed his reddened skin, and began to carefully study the small hole in the trunk.
She tapped her fingers against the bark around the hole, making a 'knock, knock' sound, and it always sounded like something was wrong.
Suddenly, my brain flashed, the voice was wrong, it was empty inside!
Thinking of this, she immediately made a move, pulled out the spirit sword, infused the spiritual power, and drove towards the trunk of the tree!
Just listen to 'Boom! With a bang, the bark was opened by the spirit sword, and Su Qing stepped forward to break open the bark and found that it was indeed empty!
She went in and found that the entire trunk was hollow! When she looked up, she could even see light shining in, and she looked up at the few rays of light that were shining from above, and felt dizzy, her eyes were dark, and she didn't know where she was.
When she woke up, she found herself standing beside a prisoner car, and a man with a man's hair on the car was staring at her feverishly.
'This is ......' As soon as Su Qing spoke, he heard the man excitedly shouting, 'Please Immortal Chief, save me!' ’
'My former Yang Houfu was framed by someone, and now that the immortal chief has come forward, he must save us! The man shouted at Su Qing.
Su Qing pressed his temples that were beating and motioned for him to stop, only to find that the person in the official uniform who was kneeling in front of him was about the official who escorted the man.
She waved her hand to the man and asked the man at the front, 'Where is this?' ’
The official said honestly and fearfully, 'Go back to the fairy, here in Yuanyang County, Lu State'
'Oh' Su Qing nodded, and was about to leave, when he heard the man in the prisoner cart shouting, 'Fairy forgiveness!' Please save my Yuanyang Houfu from the fairy! ’
Su Qing was really noisy, so he turned around and asked him, 'What crime did you commit, why do you have to save you?' ’
The man paused and said, "Didn't the fairy come with mulberry wood skills to help me survive this calamity?" ’
Su Qing was stunned when he heard the 'Mulberry Branch', walked up to him and asked, 'Oh? What mulberry branches, you say come and listen'
'Fairy, excuse me, please listen to the villain' An old hoarse voice came from behind.
An old man with white flowers was imprisoned in a car behind, his lips were chapped at this time, and his anger was like a gossamer, Su Qing couldn't bear it, so he motioned to the official to come forward and give him a bowl of water to drink.
After the old man drank the water, his spirit looked better, and then he gave his hand and said, "Thank you for the fairy water, the villain's name is Qin Jing, the generation is the original Yang Hou of Lu Guo, Gaozu was extraordinary when he was young, and was taken away by an immortal as an apprentice, who knows that the sky is jealous of the talent, Gaozu died before the age of thirty, and when his master came to give the relics of Gaozu, he left a mulberry tree withered branch, and said, if there is a disaster to break this branch, there is an immortal chief to come to the rescue. ’
Speaking of this, he hesitated for a while, and when he saw that Su Qing had no different color, he continued, "When the catastrophe was coming, the villain took out the mulberry branch and broke it, but he didn't expect a fairy to come." ’
After hearing this, Su Qing was deeply surprised and asked, "Do you know which sect your ancestor joined back then?" Well, what is the crime of your family? ’
When the old man saw Su Qing asking, he said with some doubts, "Qinghe faction, my family has been wronged for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. ’
Hearing this crime, Su Qing knew in his heart that such a lofty crime, nine times out of ten, he was framed, thinking that although he came here inexplicably, he also got rid of the trap of the Hundred Beast Forest at the same time, and he could be regarded as borrowing their light.
She looked up and found that there were as many as 100 prisoner cars alone, most of them were old and weak women and children.
After making up his mind, he walked up to the panicked official and said, 'I am not a traitor, would you like to make a good fate, send them back and re-examine them?' ’
"This--the lower official ......" The official listened to it, and squeaked and didn't dare to agree.
Su Qing waved his hand, and the cages on the top of the one hundred and ten prisoner carts were shattered with a 'bang', and when he saw this battle, the official hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, 'It's all up to the fairy!' ’
Su Qing nodded, told them to get up, and pulled the people of Yuan Yang Hou back to Yuan City, the capital of Lu State.
After arriving in the original city, Su Qing only took most of the women and children away, and the others were still handed over to the officials to take back to the prison.
Even if Yuan Yanghou really collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, these women were innocent, so no matter what, she would protect them.
The Yuanyang Houfu has been sealed, but fortunately, the official was kind enough to find her a mansion and solve her urgent need.
After settling these people, Su Qing stayed alone in the upper room, thinking of his friends who were uncertain about life and death, as well as these women and children, he was upset for a while.
Since entering the fifth order of qi training, she rarely had such an irritable mood, took a deep breath, tried to suppress the turmoil in her heart, and secretly thought, she has advanced to two orders in a row, and her cultivation has increased suddenly, but in the end, her state of mind can't keep up, and her Dao heart is unstable.
After a cup of tea, she had just calmed down, and someone came to report that it was the concubine Niangniang in the palace who invited her to enter the palace.
Su Qing smiled secretly, it seems that the person behind the scenes, nine times out of ten, is this noble concubine Niangniang, from Yuan Yanghou's mouth, he learned that his family was only blessed by the favor of his ancestors, and there were no high-ranking officials or unscrupulous generals in the family, and he was purely a rich and noble person who did not worry about eating and drinking.
It is impossible for this person to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, nor will he make high achievements and threaten the imperial power, so the biggest possibility is to offend someone.
Su Qing thought about it all the way, but she didn't pay attention to the surrounding scenery, and when she came back to her senses, she was already in the deep palace, because of her special identity, so as soon as she arrived at the palace, a beautiful woman stepped forward to greet her.
This woman is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in a moon-white palace dress, combing a flowing cloud side bun, wearing only a white hosta flower, her skin is like congealed fat, her face is like a hibiscus, and she is very beautiful.
Walking in front of Su Qing, he turned sideways and said, "Little girl Jiang Rongrong has seen a fairy!" The posture is like a willow, and the voice is light, but there is a faint sense of tenacity, which makes her quite fond of it.
Even in modern society, Su Qing doesn't like weak women very much, after coming to this world, most of the secular women are cowardly, but fortunately, the people who intersect with her are immortal and tenacious, otherwise she will die of stunt.
Now the concubine in front of her, not coquettish or charming, beautiful and tenacious, is actually very eye-catching, because, Su Qing consciously said politely, "The concubine is polite, I don't know if I am invited, what advice do you have?" ’
Jiang Guifei smiled brightly and said, "I heard that the fairy has magical powers, and the little woman admires it very much, so I specially invite the fairy to meet and have a glimpse of the fairy!" ’
Su Qing glanced at this magnificent palace, found a chair to sit down at random, looked at Jiang Guifei with a calm expression and said, "Guifei Niangniang doesn't need to go around in circles, you can say something directly."
Jiang Guifei sighed, lowered her eyes, and after a long time, she said quietly, "Fairy, would you like to hear my petition story?" ’
'Niangniang, please speak' Su Qing picked up the teacup in his hand and said.
Jiang Guifei raised her head, looked straight at the north and said, "A pair of twin sisters from the hairpin family, carefree since childhood, pampered, sister at the age of sixteen, married to a childhood sweetheart, married to the love of the husband and wife after marriage, who knew that a year later, suddenly disaster fell from the sky, the father and brother suffered from prison due to the fatigue of the party and friends, the mother was overwhelmed, lingering on the sickbed, and died soon after, leaving only the sister who had not yet married, pity her lonely and helpless, and was admitted to her husband's house by her sister. ’
Speaking of this, she clenched her hands and paused and continued, "After my sister moved into her brother-in-law's house, she watched her husband's family carry back one concubine after another because she had no children, and Yu's sister's childhood sweetheart's brother-in-law was also happy to see it, seeing that her sister was getting more and more haggard, and she was careful to protect her sister and try not to be bullied, but because of the fall of her mother's family, the husband added new people to the room, and soon my sister had no status in the house, and soon because of the conflict between my sister and a newly favored concubine, the daughter of the sister who was less than one year old was killed, Since then, my sister was plotted to lose two children in a row, which eventually led to the inability to have children, and after the eldest son of her husband's family was born, her husband's family acquiesced in the killing of his wife, and finally his sister died with hatred! ’
After speaking, she turned her head and looked at Su Qing fixedly and asked, "Fairy, do you think this family shouldn't exist?" ’
Su Qing put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly, "This is really a sad story, it's just that a person who was once a wife, how can he be a concubine now?" ’
Hearing this, Jiang Guifei seemed to have been drained of her whole body strength, and she froze on the ground, looking at Su Qing in horror, "Fairy, you, you, know?" ’
Su Qing stepped forward to help her up, looked at her and said, "I don't know, you told me, can you tell me what you haven't finished?" ’
Jiang Guifei sat on the brocade pier in front of Su Qing, smiled miserably and said, "Since the fairy knows my true identity, what else can't you say?" ’
She clung to the red satin on the surface of the brocade pier and said, "That's right, I am that sister, the eldest lady of the Dingguo Mansion, Jiang Yufu!" ’
She took a deep breath and said, 'When I learned that I could no longer have children, I was disheartened, and I wanted to know that I would die, but when I thought of my sister in the house, I gritted my teeth and endured it, but I couldn't face those sluts who harmed my children's tragic deaths, one by one, they were well protected, and they gave birth to children, so I quietly collected my dowry and property, secretly bought some properties, and planned to break up my property and take my sister out of the waiting house'
Speaking of this, she took a sip of water and closed her eyes and said, "Who knew that she was unwilling to leave the house, and after repeated questioning, it turned out that I didn't know when, and the beast had a head and tail, I was like five thunderbolts, bent on death, she knelt down and begged me bitterly, let me fulfill her, but I really can't accept such a thing, she suddenly said to me, she is willing to live instead of me, and if she dies like this, she can't survive."
When she said this, there was a look of sorrow in her eyes and she said, 'She is my only relative in this world, or a sibling, and when I see her kneeling in front of me and weeping, I grit my teeth and feel that she has been fulfilled.'
Seeing Su Qing looking at her in surprise, Jiang Guifei lowered her head and whispered, "We are twin sisters, we are exactly the same, and our body shape, movements, and voices are the same, in order to help her, I cheered myself up and actively recuperated my body, and after half a year, we exchanged identities."
Su Qing looked at her and said, "You guys also ask for what you need, how can you ......?"
'Oh, I thought the same way at the time, the moment I walked out of the waiting house, I felt that I had completed all the things in my life, so I found a place to prepare for my life, and after being saved by the loyal servants around me, I saw those people nearby who had no food and clothing, working hard for a living, so I stopped looking for death'
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and said, "After less than a year like this, I got the news of my sister's death, I was grief-stricken, and on the way to Houfu, I met an immortal chief and asked me if I wanted to exchange the rest of my life after the age of thirty for a peerless appearance, of course I was willing, and I would exchange my lifeless life for the bargaining chips of recovering sorrow, how could I not be willing?" ’
Su Qing smiled faintly and said, "You're not just for your sister, right?" ’
Jiang Guifei looked at Su Qing fixedly, "The fairy is really powerful, my father Dingguo Gongzhi was imprisoned, and it is indeed the most important evidence forged by Yuan Yanghou, which is also the most important reason for my sister's death!" ’
Hearing this, Su Qing was very entangled in her heart, emotionally, she was very sympathetic to Concubine Jiang, but from a legal point of view, Yuan Yang Houfu was indeed innocent, especially those ignorant children.
She pondered for a moment and said, 'I also think that a dirty family like the Yuan Yang Houfu should not survive.'
Hearing this, Jiang Guifei's originally godless eyes lit up, and she knelt down excitedly and kowtowed, "Thank you for your support."
Su Qing hurriedly helped her up and said, "But the crime is not to death, and the young son of Manfu is so innocent, he has to spare and spare people!" ’
After speaking, Su Qing got up and left.
