Wang Yuan stood for a long time, and suddenly lifted the flower hoe and began to plow the ground silently.

"Erlang, what are you doing?" Li Xin'er asked.

Wang Yuan said: "Dig a pit and bury them, and the two of them will go back to the house to rest, and I will deal with it here." ”

A smile appeared on Gongsun Lan's calm face, and she shook her head and said, "No need to dig, this garden is unlivable, maybe in the middle of the night, maybe after dawn, someone will find here." ”

Wang Yuan kept his hands in his hand, and said in his mouth: "Okay." ”

Li Xin'er said: "I'll dig it too." ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "How can I let you do this kind of thing, you accompany your master back to the house to talk, I just want to be quiet by myself." ”

Gongsun Lan said: "Wang Yuan, there is really no need to dig, my Merlin does not need flower fertilizer, and according to what this person just said, this group of people is the people who scattered into various squares to find us, even if we know that they are missing, it will be tomorrow morning, and we will have already left here by then." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "I understand, I just don't want them to expose their corpses to the wilderness, although I have to kill them, at least let them be buried in the ground." ”

Gongsun Lan glanced at Wang Yuan, closed her mouth, wiped her long sword on the corpse in front of her to remove the blood, and turned around and walked towards the thatched hut. Li Xin'er didn't know for a while whether she should stay with Wang Yuan or go with her master, Wang Yuan leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Go and talk to your master, don't you want to apologize to her?" I'm not here for me, why don't you go soon? ”

Li Xin'er pointed to the corpses on the ground and said, "But are you here to do it?" ”

Wang Yuan swallowed and foamed, "I'm not afraid." ”

Li Xin'er asked if it would be successful, and Wang Yuan replied whether he was afraid, and Wang Yuan's mind was exposed between the questions and answers, in fact, Wang Yuan was very afraid.

Li Xin'er nodded and said, "Then I'll go, I'm a little worried about this matter, we'll talk about today's matter when you're done." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "Okay, you accompany your master, I will come after I dispose of these corpses, and then you tell me 1510, my heart is in chaos, waiting for you to explain my doubts." ”

After Gongsun Lan and Li Xin'er left, there was silence in all directions, and the cold moon shone all around, facing the several corpses that died on the ground and the dark Merlin monster around him, Wang Yuan felt a little furious in his heart. Wang Yuan took a breath and picked up the flower hoe and began to dig the pit, fortunately, the weather had warmed up for many days, and the hard frozen soil had become soft, but Rao was so, Wang Yuan was still tired and out of breath. After the six earth pits were dug, Wang Yuan was exhausted.

After resting for a while, Wang Yuan began to carry the corpse, the corpse of the dead man was really stiff and heavy, Wang Yuan could only barely pull the stiff and cold corpse ankles and drag it along the ground to the front of the pit, and then roll the corpse into it.

The wounds of the six corpses were all in the throat, bleeding profusely before death, the ground was full of viscous blood, the smell was unacceptable, and the death was extremely unsightly. When Wang Yuan dragged their bodies, he always felt that they would suddenly burst out and hurt people, or he was suspicious and thought that he heard their gasps.

It took nearly an hour for Wang Yuan to bury them all under the loess, and the panting Wang Yuan stood in front of the six plum trees with a hoe and prayed secretly: "A few of you hurry up and reincarnate to die, although your death is caused by me, but you are to blame." The culprit is not me, if you want to blame it, blame the person who ordered you to do the work. If you have the opportunity to find out the identity of your family members in the future, inform them to pick up bones and move the grave for you. ”

After praying, Wang Yuan turned back to sort out the traces on the ground, dug out new soil with a hoe to cover the blood stains on the ground, and broke some plum branches and leaves and sprinkled them on the ground, looking at the grave to see nothing unusual, and then stopped with confidence.

Due to fatigue and fright, on the way back to the hut, Wang Yuan felt that his clothes and pants were soaked, and his body was cold and shivering from the night wind. Looking up, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, sprinkling a cold and merciless vein-to-vein clear light, like the eyes of heaven watching everything on the earth.

……

The lights in the room were dim, and when Wang Yuan gently pushed the door in, he saw Li Xin'er kneeling on a futon, her head bowed, her shoulders shrugging, as if she was crying, and Gongsun Lan stood quietly with her back to Li Xin'er.

"Master, forgive Xin'er, Xin'er shouldn't have disobeyed her master and insisted on leaving her master, but Master Xin'er really just wanted to avenge her parents, this is Xin'er's hope to live. Ask the master to forgive Xin'er. Li Xin'er sobbed in a low voice.

Gongsun Lan didn't move, if it weren't for the slight trembling of the white clothes, it would almost be mistaken for a jade carving. Li Xin'er kowtowed and repeated what she just said again, it is conceivable that before Wang Yuan came, she knelt here and said this sentence dozens of times.

Wang Yuan stepped into the house and stood quietly aside, Wang Yuan didn't want to participate in the matter between the master and apprentice, and the bell had to be tied to the bell, and the knot between them should be untied by themselves. But now it seems to be a stalemate, and Wang Yuan has to speak out in the hope of mediation.

"Gongsun senior......" Wang Yuan said.

"Wang Gongzi, the wing room is prepared with hot water, you go to take a bath, and you should wash those dirty things well. There were clean clothes on the chair next to me, which I wore when I dressed as a man, maybe it didn't fit, but I had to settle for it. Gongsun Lan turned her head and interrupted Wang Yuan's words.

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Thank you seniors, but things between you always have to be resolved, if you don't forgive Twelve Niang, she has been kneeling, this is not a way." ”

Gongsun Lan said coldly: "This has nothing to do with you, and I didn't ask her to kneel here, but she herself can't get up if she kneels." ”

Wang Yuan sighed and said: "Senior Gongsun, although I am an outsider, I can be regarded as a friend of your master and apprentice. ”

Gongsun Lan said lightly: "You and I are not friends, we just know each other, you have disturbed me many times, every time you come, you will disturb the chickens and dogs, this time Meiyuan can no longer live, are you satisfied?" ”

Wang Yuan sighed: "Senior, I'm really sorry, I don't want to be like this, it's just that all this has happened, how do you want to punish it, just ask." ”

Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "Your lazy tone seems to be a matter of course. You're my number one persona non grata here. ”

Wang Yuan smiled bitterly: "In that case, why didn't the seniors kill me like they killed those people, and tolerate me coming to disturb you three times and several times?" ”

Gongsun Lan's eyes shot a sharp light, and she said coldly, "Are you provoking me?" You think I'm not going to kill you? You think you're special? ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Of course not, if you kill me, it will be easy, but why don't you blame us for disturbing your Qing cultivation and repeatedly tolerate and help you?" There must be a reason for this. ”

Gongsun Lan sneered: "What is the reason? ”

Wang Yuan rubbed his nose and said, "I guess it's because you can't let go of it in your heart." ”

"Can't let go of what?" Gongsun Lan said sharply.

"On the surface, you can't let go of the love of master and apprentice, or you have never been truly pure when you live in seclusion, your heart actually can't let go of this earthly world, but your heart is in the mortal world, so you can't let go of the willfulness and betrayal of the Twelve Niang, so you will pay attention to us again and again. Even if we were hunted down just now, you are not surprised, maybe you saw everything in the shadows, isn't it that you can't let go of it? ”

"Presumptuous!" Gongsun Lanjiao shouted: "What do you think of yourself, you are not ashamed to speak in front of me." I just came back from outside the market and happened to see you being hunted down. I will see the direction you are coming from and I will know that you are coming to trouble me again, and when you come to your mouth, I think that I am secretly watching you. It's a joke. ”

Wang Yuan smacked his lips and said, "Okay, even if it's a coincidence, you can completely shut us out, why bother with us?" Kill those six people, I'm afraid you're getting annoyed, why are you willing to get annoyed with this? ”

Gongsun Lan glared at Wang Yuan and said, "It seems that you are a scheming person, and you have to investigate my every move." Do you want to know the answer? Then I tell you, I would rather you die at my hands than at the hands of those men. I save you just to make you understand what kind of danger you are involved in, and it's ridiculous that you don't know it. ”

Wang Yuan was stunned and nodded: "I admit that you are right in this sentence, I am full of confusion now, and I don't know what happened at all." But I also understood one thing at the same time, it turns out that you are not angry that Twelve Niang left you in order to avenge your parents, but that you are angry that Twelve Niang is with those who fight for power and profit and serve them, right? ”

Gongsun Lan's face was calm, but she nodded secretly in her heart, although she didn't admit it verbally, Wang Yuan's words went straight to her heart and said what was on her mind. Although she lived in the plum garden, her state of mind was never truly at peace. If you really want to be isolated, why live in the prosperous city of Chang'an? In the final analysis, he didn't want to stay away from the crowd, and he still had a lot of worries about the world, so he chose to stay in Chang'an City.

As for Li Xin'er's departure, what I have always been angry about in my heart is her resignation, which is regarded as a betrayal of herself, but in fact, she has not completely given up her worries and concerns about Li Xin'er, and because of this, she has secretly watched left and right many times, and secretly helped Li Xin'er many times to get her out of danger.

In the end, it's not that you can't let go, what is it? Although he lives on the side of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, listens to the bells of the temple every day, and lives alone in the plum forest, he is not a born person at all.
