Chapter Twenty-Four: Tanhualang
Demon Realm, in a dimly lit room.
A wisp of Gong Yu's soul was on the wick, swaying in a lamp, and he couldn't even condense a shape. All you can see is her pale face, printed on the lamp paper, staring at her red eyes is extremely scary.
"You let Yuan Qingzhi take my place?"
"Hmm"
"That's what you asked me to pick up that broken bead?"
"It's not"
"What's that? What do you tell that?! Didn't you block my punishment in front of the cultivators just to win my sympathy and want me to die for you? What do you say to me about the beads hidden in Yuan Qingzhi's body, they are all fake! You lied to me, you knew that Luofeng City was not safe but let me try the risk, haha...... Hahahahahaha......ha
Gong Yu laughed maniacally, tears left a blood-red color on the paper, the lights were clearly extinguished, and the sharp laughter like a madman echoed in his ears, seeping into people's tightness.
Cang Hui: "I didn't want you to die, I really wanted to leave a wisp of your soul in advance, I wanted to make you a new flute, but I haven't had time yet."
As he spoke, he took out a small and delicate black flute, the body of which was smooth and delicate, but the hole on it was not finished.
Gong Yu stopped crying, and in the firelight, she quietly looked at Canghui's pale cheeks. There was a serenity on his face, not like he was lying.
Gong Yu looked at the flute again, half paid, and finally spoke:
"Really, is it for me?"
"Hmm" Canghui put the flute in his hand on the lamp, so that the light could illuminate, and Gong Yu could see more clearly.
"What about Yuan Qingzhi? You must have known that the second devil was him, but you didn't tell me! Gong Yu looked at the bamboo flute in a daze, but she still didn't intend to let go of this question.
"I didn't think of it at the beginning." As he spoke, Cang Hui turned his head and stared at Gong Yu, his eyes were thorough, and he didn't dodge or dodge, "It's that the king said that since the flesh and blood can't be cast, take a ready-made one." Do you say that who has the heaviest grievances in this Luofeng City, and who is the most suitable for the Blood Demon Bead to lead out the second devil? β
"Who? Yuan Qingzhi? Gong Yu was puzzled.
"It's him." Cang Hui flicked the candlelight a few times with his pale hand, and Gong Yu's face became a little clearer.
"Why?!" Gong Yu clearly remembered that the ten female ghosts were sacrificed to the sky on the altar, not only were the corpses separated, but the blood was also taken away and scattered in every household. Therefore, the soul is also broken by the support of the division, trapped in place, and cannot be reincarnated.
They just saw that the resentment was too heavy and could be used by them, so they took great pains to collect the fragments of their souls and condense them into ghosts that maintained their resentment, and they naturally turned into powerful ghosts to find the enemy to ask for their lives.
"Do you think the ten women have the heaviest resentment? Hehe, you are too naΓ―ve, do you think that a new city lord has not yet gained a firm foothold, and can do so that the whole city is blocked from the news, and there is not even a person who runs out to report the news? Foolish! Yuan Qingzhi was said by them to be deceived and disregarded for human life, which is the real wrong......"
In the palace, the imperial study.
There are more than a dozen lights, and the study is bright. In front of the old emperor who was handling government affairs, there was a row of royal secret guards, who bowed his head to the ground, not daring to say anything.
Xuan Ji and Jiang Yuze saw the old emperor looking at the fold, and suddenly became angry, waved their sleeves and threw the fold, and ordered the southeast marquis who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River overnight to secretly escort a person to the capital.
Jiang Yuze was so surprised that he lost his mind for a moment, it was the first time he saw the imperial grandfather who had never been angry tonight.
Xuan Ji disdainfully snatched the official document from the secret guard's hand, tore it into foam, and jumped out of the window after Jiang Yuze and disappeared into the night.
Jiang Yuze wanted to go crazy angrily, but because of the mood of the imperial grandfather, he silently cleaned up the scraps of paper in a high-pressure atmosphere.
As a result, before he could finish cleaning up, he saw a person being thrown through the window into the imperial study. When he looked at it, it turned out to be an old man with evasive eyes and a rather embarrassed look.
It is estimated that he was picked up while he was still sleeping, his white underwear was messy, and when he saw the emperor, he hurriedly kowtowed, trembling like chaff.
"Liang Wuyun, are you guilty?" The old emperor was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and dragged the ground, but he was old but did not lose any of his majesty.
was so frightened that the old man couldn't help but retreat when he knelt, but Jiang Yuze kicked him over and lay on the ground.
"You probably don't know, do you know when Yuan Qingzhi died? Why, talk! Do you Liang Wuyun also know that you are afraid?! The old emperor was embarrassed, and there was a breathtaking sense of extreme oppression in his tone.
The old man on the ground trembled his lips and cried, his nose and tears flowed together, and his appearance was very miserable, but Xuan Ji and Jiang Yuze felt disgusted and did not have the slightest pity.
The demon has no feelings, so naturally he will not sympathize with him, Jiang Yuze is a clear-eyed person, looking at the old man on the ground, his eyes gradually began to reveal indifference and disgust.
Luofeng City has always been a large producer. Male labor is the mainstay, and women can only do some fine work to collect grain. Slowly, the status of women is getting lower and lower, getting lower and lower...... It's so low that everyone doesn't want to have a girl, but there is always a girl, what should I do?
Last winter, the snow-flaked Luofeng City was particularly beautiful. Ruixue Zhaofeng year, riding the soft Yuan Qingzhi passed by the suburbs of Luofeng and lifted the curtain.
When the dynasty Tanhualang was from a poor family in Sanhe Lake. On the day of the unveiling, Yuan Qingzhi rode a royal white horse, wandered the streets with the army, and read the scenery of the imperial city in one day.
is in the limelight, chic and happy, and his arrogance is to let the whole world know that the emperor is going to change his government and show grace!
In the high hall of the land of Kyushu, in the imperial court, it is no longer the monopoly of bureaucrats, but the stage of capable people in the world.
Luo Feng blows the snow, and when he sees such a beautiful scenery, he can't help but make poems.
In the white snow, there were busy figures of the girls, and the heavy snow behind them fell all over the branches, and they stepped on the thick snow, making a squeaky sound.
"The pear blossoms fall on the branches, and the hazy beauty begs." Yuan Qingzhi looked at the snow scene happily, and let the snowflakes drift into the soft correction and melt into a little drop of water on his hands.
At this time, a beautiful girl turned her head and found him, and when the girl saw the handsome man in the carriage smiling softly at her, the goose egg's face immediately flushed, and she suddenly felt a little flustered.
I slipped under my foot and fell into a gap.
But I don't want to be next to the ice lake, the three-foot-high lake is empty, and the ice surface shatters with a curry! The other girls exclaimed, panicked at a loss.
Seeing this, Yuan Qingzhi hurriedly got out of the car, ran quickly to the lake, and saw the girl trembling and clutching the edge of the ice, and there was no blood on her lips.
took off his cloak to protect him from the cold, and was about to go down to save people, so he frightened the little guy and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Master! You can't go down in this cold and snowy place...... Lord, Lord! If you can't come up, how can I explain to the Holy One? If you come up and get sick, I won't be able to do it...... Ah, sir! Oops, it's a shame! Take the rope, there's Tanhualang down there, you can't run away if something happens to him! Don't go yet!! β
Ignoring the obstruction, Yuan Qingzhi jumped into the water, and immediately shivered unbearably. Seeing that his face changed, he was so anxious that the little guy roared, asking everyone to take the rope and call people, and the noisy sound broke the silence of this snow in an instant.
In the lake, the sound seemed to be frozen on the ice, and it was quiet.
To be able to jump down without hesitation in such cold weather is only the courage that only wild children who grow up by the lake and know how to grow up in water.
The girl in the ice water didn't have much strength anymore, and when she saw the boy jumping off regardless of it, she came directly to pull her. Suddenly she felt that her eyes were hot, and her tears fell into the water and condensed into frost, she shook her teeth and exclaimed:
"Childe, Childe, get out quickly! I don't have the strength anymore, I'm a worthless one, you go out and leave me alone. β
Yuan Qingzhi was frozen by the cold water, and he was also awake for three minutes at this time, he finally grabbed the girl but found that she was abnormally drafted, and he was shocked at first. The girl was obviously very thin and should not have sunk in such a water, but in an instant he understood.
Yuan Qingzhi ignored the worldly hypocrisy and tore the fabric of the girl's clothes.
"Catkins?" Yuan Qingzhi looked at the girl's face, which had turned blue, and said decisively: "Take it off!"
Everyone knows that falling into the water is not terrible, but not being able to float is the most terrible.
Seeing that her frostbitten hands could no longer climb the ice, her nose was almost immersed in water, and it began to be difficult to breathe. Yuan Qingzhi does not intend to stick to the difference between men and women, compared to those ethereal chastity, life is the most important.
But the girl actually shook her head and refused, Yuan Qingzhi frowned and said hurriedly: "Take it off, take off your clothes quickly!"
Knowing that time was short, he pulled away her hand from the ice and ripped her clothes from the hem. Then he pulled the girl out of the catkins stuffed garment with a very heavy draft.
Sure enough, the girl immediately floated a little, at least she could show her head and breathe.
Regardless of the thin layer of underwear inside the girl, Yuan Qingzhi hugged her, blocked the eyes of the people on the shore, turned around and shouted to the shore: "You all go!" Go find someone to ask for clothes. β
The little guy finally played a role at this time, and immediately dismissed the coachman and a few girls.
"Master, let's go! It's all gone, why do you come up! There is already a crying tone in the tone of the little guy, how many people can come out of this ice lake? I can't hold on much at all, and the water of the cold winter wax moon will not drown people, but will also freeze people to death,
Without replying to the little girl, Yuan Qingzhi lowered his head and whispered in her ear.
"Listen to me, now we're going out. You listen to me carefully, climb the ice over here and kick the water with both feet, let yourself lie on the water, try to float up and cross the water and don't stand in the water, do you understand? Yuan Qingzhi's calm voice relieved the girl from the fear of great death.
She nodded, and the man next to her stood in the water and kicked the water, gradually falling across the water. She was very smart, and then, like Yuan Qingzhi, slowly climbed onto the ice with her arms, and pulled herself out of the ice hole little by little.
Finally lying on the ice, both of them were too frozen.
Yuan Qingzhi smiled and told her not to try to stand up, but to crawl slowly until she reached the shore.
The girl did so, but found that Yuan Qingzhi was not moving, as if she had used up her strength and was about to faint, she took his hand and wanted to take him away.
"You go first, my leg cramps, you let me slow down. There's a cloak on the shore, so you put it on first, go to the shore and find a rope to save me, go. Yuan Qingzhi frowned, his face turned pale in pain, and it seemed that he really looked like he was cramping.
