Chapter 144: Encountering an Acquaintance
"Well said!" Yutai Mingxue walked into the room indifferently, swept the room and obviously stood in two groups of ghosts, turned around and closed the door, set up a spatial enchantment, and turned around and smiled, "I also want to know, how did you end up here?" ”
Inside the house, the opposite of the three vigilant ghosts was Shangguan Haohui who was looking for by Shentai Mingxue.
"I happened to meet this Ning Gongzi on the way, and then he said that he wanted to rescue a girl named Xiaoqian, so I followed him!" Shangguan Haohui stepped forward and said the matter very briefly, only emphasizing the accent at the person's name.
"It's a coincidence that you just came in and ......" Yutai Mingxue said this and swallowed the next words, her eyes looked at the Xiao Qian opposite, and she chuckled in her heart.
The opposite person is obviously exactly the same as Nie Xiaoqian in her impression, her skin is better than snow, her complexion is beautiful, and there is a layer of blood on her face, which shows that her beauty is unparalleled, delicate and attractive, and she does not eat the fireworks of the world, and all kinds of contradictions are combined into a unique Nie Xiaoqian.
Shangguan Haohui blinked, he was a little puzzled, "Why did you show up three days later?" ”
Shenxue was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "What three days?" ”
Shangguan Haohui reacted very quickly, and dragged the snow across the platform to the corner of the house, "I've been in for three days!" ”
"I just came in."
The two of them looked at each other, their faces unkind, and their minds both thought of the hint for men in the Ruins Illusion.
Shangguan Haohui quietly told him what he had happened in the past few days.
It turned out that three days ago, Shangguan Haohui opened his eyes after the wind and fog and appeared in a dark wing room in Lanruo Temple. Through the cracks in the broken windows, you can see that the room opposite has a warm candle flame.
He vigilantly probed and found that it was a young man in a strange costume who was wielding a pen and ink, obviously a figure from a fantasy world.
Shangguan Haohui easily followed the shadow of the scholar swaying under the light of the candlelight. The cloth shoes on the ground and the blood on his face recognized that the other party was not a ghost.
Thinking of the nowhere to be found, Shangguan Haohui jumped to the roof of the house to probe around. In particular, I searched the mass grave behind Lanruo Temple, but found nothing.
At dawn, Shangguan Haohui, who was sitting on the roof of the house, watched the scholars below fetch water to wash, and jumped directly to the ground to test the scholars to see if they could get any clues.
When he heard that the other party introduced himself as Ning Caichen, a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam, Shangguan Haohui understood that he had stepped on the line that Zhongtai Mingxue said, and naturally he would not give up this shortcut, and directly introduced that he was separated from his friend and wanted to be with each other!
That little green appeared on the first night. Sending wine and food tried to charm Ning Caichen, but in his words, Ning Caichen said that he had seen Xiaoqian two days ago, but he was chased into the attic path by a female ghost with a changed face.
Shangguan Haohui thought of Shentai's reminder, pushed Ning Caichen into an empty room and lured Xiaoqing away, and was brought into this room by this woman who claimed to be Xiaoqian the next night to join Ning Caichen.
Shentai Mingxue took off his hood and thought for a while, according to what Shangguan Haohui said, now. The key characters except for the righteous and awe-inspiring and heroic Yan Chixia are all in this room.
Xiao Qian patted Xiao Xue's hand for comfort, and motioned for Ning Caichen to stand in place, taking a few steps forward with her pink and plain white feet. sincerely gave a blessing gift as a thank you, "I heard that it was the girl who asked your friend to save Ning Gongzi, Xiaoqian is grateful!" ”
A bright smile appeared on her face. hurriedly reached out to help Nie Xiaoqian, and inevitably touched her Qianqian jade hand. Maybe it's a little cold because of the ghost's physique, but the roots are crystal clear. made Tai Mingxue can't help but think of the scene in the film and television, Nie Xiaoqian's red sleeves and Ning Caichen's poems and paintings.
"Girl?"
After returning to her senses, she found Nie Xiaoqian's smiling and seductive face, and the villain in her heart bit the handkerchief and burst into tears, which hurt women's self-esteem too much, even if she is not a beauty, but she is above the ordinary line, but compared with Nie Xiaoqian, she is directly compared to the dust!
"Miss Xiaoqian is polite, I also want to thank you for protecting my companion."
Nie Xiaoqian was slightly stunned, her eyes wandering between Shangguan Haohui and Shenxue.
"We are classmates and companions, not what Miss Xiaoqian imagined." With a cultural heritage, Shentai Mingxue naturally knew the meaning of Nie Xiaoqian's gaze.
"I see, please be seated." Nie Xiaoqian, who grew up with ancient feudal etiquette, actually didn't understand the intimate behavior of Shentai Mingxue and Shangguan Haohui in her opinion, which can only be regarded as ordinary in modern times.
The five people sat around the round table, Xiaoxue poured a cup of tea for all four of them, and said with a warning, "Xiaoqian, I have to go to the hall to keep an eye on, you have to be careful!" ”
"It's okay, Ning Gongzi himself is a task given to me by my grandmother, and I can deal with Xiaoqing." Nie Xiaoqian said soothingly.
Xiaoxue left the house quickly, she was arranged by her grandmother to be in charge of the affairs in the hall, if she was caught leaving her post without permission, neither the soul bell nor the soul refining whip could she carry it.
Shangguan Haohui made a few gestures to Shentai Mingxue under the table, Shentai Mingxue squinted her eyes slightly, in her impression, Xiaoxue, the female ghost, really had a weak impression, and finally shook her head and signaled to let it go.
"Since I woke up in this Lanruo Temple, Xiaoxue has always taken good care of me, and she learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with me."
Shentai Mingxue looked at Nie Xiaoqian on the other side, and seemed to be simply introducing Xiaoxue's origin to the two, and was full of smiles, "That's really a deep sisterhood!" ”
After a few polite words, Shentai Mingxue asked directly, "Miss Xiaoqian, our target is those people in the hall, do you have any inside information?" ”
Nie Xiaoqian shook her head slightly, "They are the people that Grandma ordered to entertain well." ”
Yutai Mingxue frowned, how could she hear that the meaning of this was wrong? Did this little girl say it casually or with some hints?
The interpretation of each TV series has undergone a certain adaptation, and each screenwriter has his own perspective on a drama, and after the filming of the director's personal understanding, this TV series has its own connotation.
The same goes for the audience. Just like the sentence "There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand readers", Nie Xiaoqian also has her own opinion in the heart of Shentai Mingxue.
Nie Xiaoqian is indeed untouched by nature. Kindness has not been lost, but she has succumbed under the coercion of her grandmother. In the process of seducing Ning Caichen, his scholarly spirit, innocence and kindness moved Nie Xiaoqian, but why didn't Ning Caichen gain Nie Xiaoqian's trust because he passed the test?
Nie Xiaoqian did protect Ning Caichen's flesh and blood under the prying eyes of her grandmother, but Ning Caichen didn't do his best to rescue Nie Xiaoqian from Lanruo Temple.
This drink and peck completely proves that character determines choice, and choice determines fate.
Therefore, Shentai Mingxue believes that Nie Xiaoqian's rescue of Ning Caichen is sincere, but she does not believe that Nie Xiaoqian is a kind mother who everyone saves, and ancient women have already received the education of house fighting before marriage when they were fifteen or sixteen. Coupled with Nie Xiaoqian's torture at the hands of Grandma in the mass grave, how could she still be that innocent woman who doesn't know people's hearts and is sinister......
"There is a middle-aged man living in a small courtyard next to Lanruo Temple, grandma doesn't allow us to disturb him, and the person in your target seems to be a little involved with that one." Nie Xiaoqian said to Shentai Mingxue with a look of just remembering when she was talking to Ning Caichen.
"Thank you, Miss Xiaoqian, for your advice." Yutai Mingxue got up and clasped her fists with both hands, "Let's take our leave first!" ”
"Do you have a place to hide?" Nie Xiaoqian got up and tried to stop it, this is grandma's realm, and there is no escape if it is exposed.
"We have our own plans, and it's hard for Miss Xiaoqian to hide Ning Gongzi. If we add two of us, I'm afraid we'll be dragged down. Seeing that Ning Caichen wanted to speak, Shentai Mingxue continued, "What's more, someone had already seen me when I entered the hall!" ”
"In that case, take care of the girl." Nie Xiaoqian gave a gift.
"Farewell!"
Shentai Mingxue and Shangguan Haohui walked out of the attic hall openly. Walk through the verandah in the middle of the lake and sit down in the octagonal pavilion in the middle of the lake.
"What do you think?" Shenxue sat on the Taishi chair, took out pastries and water and put them on the rectangular table. Like Shangguan Haohui, she pushed in the direction, and she didn't dare to eat the food in the attic hall.
Shangguan Haohui sat down, picked up the pastry and ate it. Organize your thoughts and clues in this effort.
The same is true of the Dark Snow, who discovers that this illusion is not what she imagined. The twenty unharmed explorers alone were an accident. What was the purpose of that "grandma" to entertain them?
The terrible thing about Lanruo Temple is not because of the gathering of female ghosts, but because there is a "grandma" who eats people, but now grandma doesn't eat people......
Who is the explorer that Nie Xiaoqian said is related to Yan Chixia?
Who is the person who has a personal contact with grandma in the attic?
There are many twenty explorers in the hall, and there is not the slightest abnormality in their eyes, but this is the biggest anomaly, she and Shangguan Haohui are A-level mercenaries who only obtained the talent plus layer by virtue of their age.
If ordinary A-class mercenaries would be seduced by these female ghosts due to negligence, those two ......
"There's something wrong with those two S-class mercenaries." After Shangguan Haohui drank water and swallowed the pastry, he directly expressed his opinion in affirmative sentences.
"Not bad!" Shentai Mingxue agrees with this, and she can even boldly guess that the two of them are the candidates to contact Grandma and Yan Chixia respectively.
"Will we have a problem?"
"We are not the only ones living in the illusion, so it should be fine!" Yutai Mingxue thought for a moment and added, "If this grandma is still so peaceful!" ”
Shangguan Haohui is serious and cold, he is not a person who expects the enemy's subordinates to show mercy to the chance of success, the question now is where is the key to solving the illusion......
Just when the Styx and Shangguan Haohui were sitting in the pavilion discussing the content of the ruins, they had no idea that the other three places were having conversations with similar content almost at the same time, and the characters they were discussing were the two of them.
"Someone again?" Grandma was lying on the soft couch with her head on her side with one hand, the golden fake nails on her fingers were sharp and sharp, and her blue and purple lips were chilling when she looked at them.
"Yes." The man in leather pants and jacket sat on the Taishi chair with a calm expression, "This time it's a man and a woman, two minors. ”
"Underage?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and then explained, "It's someone under the age of eighteen." ”
"I see!"
"Please remember our agreement with each other."
"Of course!"
As Grandma's words fell, the candles in the room were extinguished at the same time, and the man put his hands in the pockets of his jacket and walked out, obscure, sighing softly, under the condition that he could not contact the Magician Association, he had no idea who the person who came was.
"Yan Daxia!"
Another elegant man in a suit and trousers walked into a small courtyard next to Lanruo Temple, if Shentai Mingxue saw it, she would know that this was one of the targets she needed to rescue, one of Professor Yu's proud disciples!
In the small courtyard, there is an unruly middle-aged man with a beard dancing a sword under the moon, walking in all directions with a vigorous body, as light as a swallow; The sword light is like a dragon shuttling under the moon, the white snake spits out the letter, and the starry light is cold.
"Two more companions are coming!" The man in the suit was obviously accustomed to such a situation, and directly explained his intentions.
"It's okay!"
Yan Chixia did not stop her movements because of the reply, and the man in the suit turned around happily after getting the answer. From the discovery of this Yan Daxia, he only got the name from the other party's mouth for easy to call, and he couldn't get any other information.
However, Yan Chixia is an important person in containing the female ghost grandmother, no matter who comes, the man in the suit has the responsibility to protect the safety of the other party as an S-level mercenary, as for going out from the ruins, he can't do anything!
Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian, who were sitting in the pavilion room, were also discussing Shentai Mingxue and Shangguan Haohui.
"Shangguan Gongzi is very fond of Miss Tangtai." This is Ning Caichen's true thoughts, in these three days of contact with Shangguan Haohui, he has a basic understanding of Shangguan.
This is a child of a family, who seems to be gentle and elegant, easy and harmless, but in fact he has a gully in his chest, hides deeply, and takes the initiative everywhere. But when the snow appeared, such a proud man engraved in his bones actually looked at the woman's eyes and actions.
Ning Caichen's judgment is because in ancient times, women also needed to follow the laws of obeying their fathers at home, marrying their husbands, and obeying their husbands when they died.
Nie Xiaoqian agreed, Ning Caichen may not know, but she knew through the clothes and conversations of Shangguan Haohui and Shentai Mingxue that they were from the same place as the guests downstairs, and the means they had should be almost the same.
Recalling the battle between the guest and his grandmother when he appeared, and then seeing Ning Caichen, who had no ability to defend himself beside him and had no chance of surviving once he was caught, Nie Xiaoqian earnestly advised, "Ning Gongzi, if you encounter danger, you can ask them for help when necessary."
