Chapter 62: Wang Qijiang

readx; Li Xiaobei was surprised to find that the place where he was being held was indeed a prison cell, and it was built on a cliff. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoStanding on the top of this peak, you can see the turbulent river and the boundless mountains on all sides, like a giant resting and playing in the water on this fertile soil. All kinds of trees covered it, creating a mountain of dead stones and turning into a living life. Those trees, like the hairs on the skin of this giant, open and closed, giving the mountain a kind of iron bone of endless life.

At this time, they were descending the mountain. Li Xiaobei casually looked at the dark green and verdant patches around him.

Looking ahead, Li Xiaobei's gaze was fixed on one place, and there was a lake in front of him.

The lake was called Biyue Lake - a strange, mysterious, sacred place. Biyue Lake is not an ordinary mountain lake, it is also a major execution ground in the Wujiang River. As mentioned before, most of those who violated the ancestral rules will be executed in Yang Feng, while the other small part will be executed in Biyue Lake. It's just that this execution ground has a weird and sacred flavor, and it is better to describe it as an execution. Wujiang has been closed, it is said that it is carrying what mission, Wujiang people do not know what mission they are carrying, only the head of each generation of the ancient family knows the specific content of the mission. And this mission seems to have some connection with Biyue Lake. Every Wujiang person has this natural sense of mission. In short, every year, the ancient family will use people to sacrifice Biyue Lake, which is passed down from generation to generation, and no one questions it.

The slightest breeze sweeps across the water, making the river crow's feet, and the lake is turquoise, and the colorful light refracted in the sun is beautiful. Li Xiaobei couldn't take his eyes off it.

It's just that he doesn't look at the lake. He looked at a woman in white sitting by the lake, with forged hair and a piece of purple jade on her forehead, her face was expressionless, as if she was in a daze.

And that's not the point.

The point is actually that there is a man dressed in white standing barefoot on the water. That man is not human!

Li Xiaobei's figure moved suddenly, but one hand firmly grasped his arm.

"What do you want to do? It's not enough to be rude to my young lady, do you still want to disrespect Miss Gu? ”

Mu Fu said angrily, as soon as she turned the foot of the mountain and came to Biyue Lake, she noticed that Li Xiaobei was looking intently at the woman in white sitting by the lake.

The woman in white was none other than Gu Ling, the daughter of the Gu family, the largest family in Wujiang. Gu Ling is the next generation of the Gu family. Master Gu has cultivated her since she was a child, and she takes Gu Ling with her every sacrifice, but after all, this lake carries too many living beings, and Gu Ling is very resistant every time she comes. But since a few years ago, Gu Ling has become eccentric, she runs to Biyue Lake almost every day, and she will sit at Biyue Lake for a few hours every day. Because of her perseverance through thick and thin, this strange behavior has become normal in everyone's eyes. Nobody cares anymore.

"Don't you think, you can only be my young lady!" Mu Fu dragged Li Xiaobei back fiercely, and the anger on her face was shown on her face, as if she was coquettish.

Hmph, a man is a flower heart, but with her Mu Fu here, he can only be a flower for her young lady!

Li Xiaobei turned around helplessly, what could he say, could he say that he actually wanted to 'insult' that ghost? I'm afraid that the crime of this disciple will not be moved.

He took a deep look at Biyue Lake again, and the water ghosts on the lake just looked at Gu Ling quietly, and there was no malice. And Mu Fu was not surprised to see the woman sitting by the lake, presumably she often did this. Well, she should be in no danger for the time being.

This place called Wujiang is a bit strange, and it is necessary for him to stay and investigate carefully.

……

In the backyard of Mufu, a man jumped in from the courtyard wall and went straight to the inner courtyard. The strange thing is that there are people who see it, but they are indifferent to it. The man went around the compound and shouted, "Qing'er, pour tea!" ”

Someone in the upper room on the left answered, and a girl in Tsing Yi poked her head out to look, and when she saw the man's face, she immediately became a bitter gourd face: "Young Master Wang, didn't you go to visit your relatives, why did you come back so early?" ”

"What, don't you want Young Master Ben to come back? What a big boldness, when will I come back, will it be difficult to obey your little girl's orders! He still shouted. The girl took a cup of tea, walked out of the upper room on the left, and was about to walk in front of him, when she heard his loud question, she seemed taken aback, her hand trembled slightly, she spilled a little of the tea in the cup, and then looked up at him, smiled at him, and said, "The slave doesn't dare." It was the slave who said it wrong, the slave and the maid meant that Young Master Wang was traveling all over the place, and he must be very hard, so let's drink tea. ”

"Haha, Qing'er is getting better and better at talking." The man smiled as he spoke, "Qing'er must be tired from pouring tea for Young Master Ben, why don't you take a sip too?" He turned his body to the left, leaned against the door frame, deliberately let go of his two feet, and stood in the middle of the door to block Qing'er's way out.

Qing'er stood silently behind him, and after a pause, he said, "Young Master Wang, don't play tricks on the slave maid, let me go quickly." ”

Her voice wasn't high. I don't know if he didn't hear it, or if he heard it and deliberately pretended not to hear, but in short, he didn't move.

Qing'er was helpless, so she had to say it again, and her voice was a little begging: "Young Master Wang, let me go." Mademoiselle is back today, and she is waiting for me to do something. ”

The man's eyes flickered, but he ignored her. He stood like a stone on the threshold.

"Qing'er,...... Qing'er! "Someone in the upper room is shouting, this is Mu Jiujiu's voice.

"Let me go, Miss is calling me." Qing'er whispered anxiously behind him, "Young master, don't embarrass me, Miss is going to scold when she sees it." ”

"What's the matter if you're scolded," he smiled and said lightly, "you tell Mu Jiujiu that you have something to do here with me." ”

"Mademoiselle will be even angrier. Although the young lady is usually very good to the slaves and maids, if she loses her temper, she will be scolded. Qing'er's voice was still low, making sure that the people in the house would not hear.

At this time, another voice sounded, and it was Qi Mi who said loudly: "Qing'er, Qing'er, where did you go, you can't answer it!" ”

Qing'er was so anxious that she was about to cry, but the man was still smiling.

Qing'er had no choice but to respond: "Sister, I'm here!" ”

Qi Qi came out of the upper room and heard Qing'er's voice, so she asked reproachfully, "Where have you been?" Why did you call you, and you didn't agree! ”

When I walked in, I found the man's figure, it turned out that Qing'er was trapped by Young Master Wang, no wonder. Her expression was solemn, and she stepped forward and saluted: "Young Master Wang." ”
