Chapter 54: Bones are silent

Tonight, the fifteenth moon is full, and at three o'clock, the noisy voices in Yanyun City finally gradually ridiculed.

The ruined temple on the outskirts of Xicheng should be quiet, but at this time it is unusually lively...

More than a dozen dirty beggars surrounded the two young women, dozens of pairs of eyes shining with the essence of thieves, like greedy wolves, and the next second they were about to pounce and eat their prey.

"Ru'er, I, I'm late, you're not angry with me. The beggar in front of him, whose identity was a mystery, trembled and raised his hungry lean hand and stretched it out towards Yuru.

"Gu, Gu Lang, how did you become like this. Yuru shrank Linglong's figure behind Wuge, her gaze dodging.

How could a wealthy businessman who once had the same scenery in Yanyun City become a beggar begging along the street in a few months?

Yuru couldn't figure it out, but this didn't prevent her from feeling remorseful, she glanced at the big Buddha statue full of cobwebs behind her: "Gu Lang, although the identities of you and me today are different from each other, but the friendship in the past, Ru'er never dares to forget." ”

'Gu Lang' happily took two steps closer when he heard this, and a red glow rose on his dark dirty face: "Ru'er Qingqing, do you remember that poem, the single shadow only looks at each other..."

Yuru pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly: "I only envy mandarin ducks, not immortals." ”

'Gu Lang' nodded violently, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and smiled shyly.

......

I don't know why, Wuge shuddered, and the hairs on his body stood up, not only her, but even a few beggars who couldn't read big words had a burst of sour water in their stomachs...

After a while, Wuge finally figured out one thing, this 'Gu Lang' was not the 'son' who invited her to meet here, but the old acquaintance of this Hongyunlou Oiran.

The situation is not good, in the middle of the night, how could such a group of unrelated people gather in the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city? This is obviously a deliberate act by someone.

"Miss Yuru, can you take a step to speak?" Wuge tilted his head slightly and whispered to Yuru behind him.

———

Wuge pulled Yuru into the broken temple, Yuru seemed to be a little resistant, she pushed Wuge: "What is the matter?"

"Yuru girl, I have no malice, I have a friend who was seriously injured and dying, and I heard that the Xuanmen Pavilion can fulfill the wishes of the people of the world, so I want to ask you..." ”

The majestic Buddha statue in front of him narrowed his eyes, as if he was pitying all beings.

Yu Ru's body trembled slightly when she heard this, her eyes couldn't help but turn around, and she repeated sluggishly: "Where is the Xuanmen Pavilion?" There was a trace of panic in her tone.

"Exactly. ”

Yuru was short of breath: "I, I... Why are you asking me?"

"To tell you the truth, I was surprised to learn that the song 'Heavenly Maiden's Wish' played by you, girl..."

"It's not too early, I'm going to... I want to..."Yuru interrupted, and before Wuge could finish speaking, she suddenly pushed Wuge away and stumbled towards the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, she didn't run far, Yuru's steps seemed to suddenly lose stability, she slammed the door down to the ground, her forehead against the ground, her hands spread out at her sides, looking like she was 'praying' devoutly.

"Yuru girl!" Wuge exclaimed in surprise and ran over quickly.

However, the strange thing is that the dozen or so beggars in the courtyard and temple didn't seem to notice the vision, and even Gu Lang, who was thinking about 'Ru'er Qingqing', turned a deaf ear at this time, chewing the hay in his mouth and looking up at the sky.

Xu is because of the heavy dew in early autumn, the coolness between the noses becomes stronger and stronger when he sprints without singing, and the feet of his body can't help but feel wet and cold, even if he is covered with thick mink down on his shoulders.

At this time, he saw that he could reach Yuru's side by taking two more steps, but Wuge suddenly paused.

There is no other reason, just because Wuge can't believe the scene in front of him...

Yuru's kneeling body seemed to be suddenly boneless, Linglong's waist collapsed, her shoulders were limp on the ground, and her hips were tightly folded in half with her thighs... The whole person looks like a puddle of mud!

Wuge rubbed his eyes with trembling teeth, and muttered dreamily: "This is an illusion, this..."

"It's not an illusion. ”

A whisper came from the ruined temple behind him, the voice was like a chaotic tune, and the plain words said in a frightening tone.

Wuge turned his head in a daze, and the compassionate Buddha statue opened his eyes at some point, pursing the corners of his lips slightly, as if he was sneering.

"Buddha, Buddha, Buddha statue...", without singing and incoherently, he knelt on the ground: "My Buddha is compassionate!" He kowtowed his head three times, stood up and wanted to run.

A low laugh came: "Girl, it's been a long time. ”

I saw a phantmy figure walking slowly behind the Buddha statue covered with cobwebs, and in an instant, it moved to the front of Wuge.

Through the moonlight, Wu Ge saw the true face of the phantom in front of him - this was not some evil thing, but a man with cold skin and evil appearance!

The man was covered with a small and delicate silver mask on his left face, and his narrow eyes were smiling, and he was looking at her for a moment.

"Ahh

After such a demonic man walked out of this barren mountain and wilderness, he really asked for someone's life!

"Who are you?" Wuge hugged the mink vigilantly.

"It's really helpless to meet late at night. The man's wicked eyes looked at her, his slender arms raised, and layers of ice were on his skin.

The man's gesture seemed to invite Wuge to walk in with him.

For no reason, Wuge stared at the bare skin on his arm: "You... Isn't it cold?"

Evil Man: "......"

Outside the ruined temple

Mo Xing Ranjun's face was a little anxious, it was already three minutes at the moment, since he entered without a song, not even a night insect had flown outside the gate of this broken temple, let alone any 'son'.

Suddenly, the two red horses tied to the tree neighed, and the horses' hooves crunched the layers of fallen leaves.

Mo Xingran closed his eyes slightly, and there were voices from ten zhang away, and there seemed to be more than one.

He flipped his fingers back and forth between himself and the two horses.

I saw two drunks staggering not far away, walking towards the ruined temple with their heads bowed on their shoulders...

"Tian Qing, which of the girls in Hongyun Mansion do you say is the most ecstatic?" a drunk man carried a wine jug and poured it into his mouth as he walked.

The man beside him closed his eyes in a daze, and smiled: "Then you don't need to say, sure, hiccup, it must be Yuru!"

"It's like you've seen jade. ”

The drunkard who called Tian Qing was excited, trotted to a tree, and had a hearty look: "Hiccup, why haven't I seen it! Don't look at Miss Yuru's little hands stroking the piano are soft and soft, and when you play with them, it's called an ecstasy!"

"Cut, I see, you're dreaming!"

Tian Qing trembled, rubbed his hand on the bark, and frowned, why is this bark still hot, it seems that he has indeed drunk a lot today.

"By the way, isn't my yellow-faced mother-in-law a mother in the City Lord's Mansion, do you know the big banquet in Guangcheng Mansion a few days ago?

"Nonsense. ”

Although Yanyun City is a prosperous place in the Qing realm, it is some distance from the imperial capital, where the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the city lord is the soil emperor of Yanyun City.

At the banquet of Guangcheng Mansion, the city lord arranged for Miss Yuru to play the last song for the guests at the banquet, originally wanting her to take this opportunity to say goodbye to Fireworks Willow Lane, but who expected that Miss Yuru lied that she had lost the piano score, and she was unwilling to play the music in front of everyone. No, the city lord is angry and wants to kill her!" the man gestured twice with his hand on his neck, and his eyes were bigger than a brass bell.

"It's impossible, doesn't the city lord love beauties the most? It is rumored that he is obedient to Miss Yuru, how could he kill his wife because of a trivial matter?" Tian Qing took the wine jug from his companion's hand, poured out the last drop of wine from his lips, squinted and licked the corners of his mouth.

"You don't know this, my family said that this Yuru girl redeemed her body a few years ago, and a salt merchant surnamed Gu ransomed it for her, and then the salt merchant somehow disappeared, and it didn't take long for this Yuru girl to return to Hongyun Building. ”

"You mean... The old city lord suspected that Miss Yuru still had dealings with the salt merchant, so he excused himself by losing the score and didn't want to marry him?" Tian Qing smacked his tongue: "The Dudao drama is not affectionate, I think this Yuru girl is quite affectionate." ”

"Bah, if she is really a fuel-efficient lamp, what will she do when she returns to that kiln after redemption?..."

The two walked to the dilapidated temple while talking, Tian Qing looked up at the dilapidated temple gate with drunken eyes: "It is said that this dilapidated temple is haunted, and our brothers will go to explore it today! If you meet a ghost, it will be worth the trip!"

"Alas!" The moment Tian Qing lowered his head, his feet slipped, his center of gravity was unstable, and his head hit the ground.

"Tian... Tian Qing... You see, this... This is?" the other drunk man threw himself back sharply, fell to the ground, and backhanded himself back.

There was a faint thing lying on the place where Tian Qing had just stepped on it, and a human figure could be faintly seen.

Tian Qing pretended to be brave and bent over to get closer with the strength of the wine, and couldn't help but turn over the river and the sea in his stomach, and leaned against the wall and vomited.

It was a puddle of human-shaped mud, spread out as if it had no attachment, a thin layer of skin covering the flesh and blood organs, and only one head could still be seen clearly.

"Tian Qing, look, this one... Like a jade girl?" the other drunk man looked at him from afar, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and exclaim.

Looking at the past, a head on the mud of human flesh was on the neck, and it was the jade ru with the appearance of the moon and the flower!

Inside the ruined temple, a little cyan fire lit up on the palm of the evil man.

Under the green lantern ancient Buddha, the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "The contemptible Dongyan is the master of the Xuanmen Pavilion that the girl is looking for." ”

Wuge was stunned when he heard this.

Coco was saved, but now she couldn't be happy: "You, why did you ask me to come here." ”

The cyan flame in the man's palm was extinguished, and a finger-long white bone suddenly appeared, he gently raised his hand to caress the white bone, and his narrow eyes showed pity: "Unfortunately, today I happened to take over two mundane things, one is you, and the other is her." ”

He looked behind Wuge, where Yuru's 'bones' were gone.

"It's you... Kill Yuru?" Wuge followed his eyes and looked behind him, his legs involuntarily weak.

"Kill? no, how can a person's wish be described as 'killing'. Dongyan smiled and shook his head: "It's 'crossing'." ”

At this time, Wu Ge finally understood why Mo Xingran said that Xuanmen Pavilion never made loss-making transactions: "You, you are not afraid that I will tell you about the evil deeds of Xuanmen Pavilion!"

Dong Yan frowned: "Evil deeds, the sea of suffering is endless, I cross sentient beings, how can I do evil deeds?" He looked at Wuge with almost compassionate eyes: "Besides, bones, they can't speak." ”

On his ice-like palm, the white bone bloomed into a faint white lotus: "This said, the bone is silent." ”
