15. Insight

"Ben's severance is... Don't come and pester me again. ”

In the Zen courtyard room, Yaoqin replied.

Behind her, Shen Qiu's eyes rolled, and his tone became cold, as if he was really angry, he said:

"Good.

Since Miss Yaoqin thinks that I and my junior sister are in trouble, the two of us will not be entangled.

In the future, we will face the sky and go to one side.

You think my brother and sister are causing trouble, but you yourself are also related to the secret affairs of the Holy Fire Sect, so why don't we suffer from your concealment?

You are indeed right.

If I continue to entangle with you like this, my brother and sister may die in a daze one day! Miss Yaoqin should rest for a while, and Shen will leave. ”

Behind her, Shen Qiu threw down a few cold words, then got up and flew out of the window.

After a few breaths, Yaoqin turned her head and looked at the empty room.

Her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but feel sad when she thought of what Shen Qiu said just now.

Since then, there is no one in this world who loves her, the world is so big, she is left to live alone, and she does not know when the fateful calamity will come.

How long can this life last?

She is a Jiangnan woman, she has a lot of melancholy in her heart, and she has a good piano skill, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she is an authentic literary young woman.

This time I suffered such a thing, and the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became.

He gave up the guqin on the table, threw himself on the bed, covered his face with a quilt, and in the lonely night, he was afraid of being heard by Uncle Hei, so he didn't dare to make a sound, so he cried in a low voice.

Cry for yourself, and cry for Qingqing.

In her life, I'm afraid she will never see Qingqing again. Recommended ReadingTV//

"Ahem... Don't cry. ”

Shen Qiu's voice suddenly sounded again in the room, which made Yaoqin's heart startled.

She raised her head and saw Shen Qiu, who had gone and returned, sitting on a flower bench in the boudoir, playing with a delicate and evil red ghostly face in her hand.

This bad guy has a playful smile on his face.

"Say, who forced you?

And the things about the Holy Fire Cult, they all spoke.

lest you feel uncomfortable in your heart, and think that Qingqing and I are really going to abandon you.

I have already fought with the Holy Fire Sect today, and some of their high-ranking elites have died at my hands, and there is already a feud between the two sides.

This will make you want to get out again, I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”

Shen Qiu looked at Yaoqin, whose eyes were red, and then looked at her right wrist, just now he thought that Yaoqin knew martial arts, so when he counteracted, he started harder.

There are already large bruises on the delicate skin, and it must be very painful for a woman like Yaoqin.

He stepped forward, reached out to hold Yaoqin's wrist, and injected Xue Ji's true qi into the wound.

This Taoist family is really angry, mellow in the middle, and the best at recuperating injuries.

Yaoqin also felt a warm energy flow into her body, making her very comfortable.

She leaned on the edge of the bed, her head bowed, her mind numb.

This Shen Qiu must have guessed something just now, so he deliberately deceived her.

As a result, I missed the stuffing.

But the thing in his heart couldn't tell Shen Qiu, and he didn't know how to face him.

"You and I are now in the same boat, and if you tell the truth, you will also save me once, so that I will not fight those Holy Fire Sect people in the dark.

Yaoqin, you are not a woman who doesn't know right from wrong.

You should know that it is good for you and me to tell those secret things. ”

When Shen Qiu saw that Yaoqin didn't speak, he had a headache.

Again, this is not the enemy.

You can't use ghost needles to force her to tell the truth.

He could only say to Yaoqin step by step:

"Someone should have forced you to sever your relationship with Qingqing, but you are not the kind of person who easily admits defeat, so I guess that person should be your elders, relatives and friends.

He oppresses you with affection and makes you have to obey. Right?

If I'm right, you nod. ”

"Hmm."

Yaoqin pursed her lips and nodded, she was also angry at the Fan family's unreasonable request that day.

She whispered like a mosquito:

"It's not my parents, it's Qingqing's elders."

"Huh?"

Shen Qiu stood up abruptly, and he said sharply:

"In addition to Qingqing, the Great Chu royal family still has descendants?"

"No, it's not."

Yaoqin explains:

"That person is the guardian of the Fan family, and he is from Tao Zhu Mountain.

This is very cumbersome to say, and there are many hidden things in it, and I can't tell you clearly because of the inheritance at home.

I'll just say one thing to listen to with you. ”

Yaoqin raised her head, she sniffled, wiped her eyes again, and whispered to Shen Qiu:

"Three hundred years ago, the royal family of Great Chu raised troops from the south of the Xiaoxiang River, swept the world, and built the country.

Folklore has it that the royal family of Great Chu was helped by immortals. ”

Yaoqin pursed her lips and said in a whispered voice:

"It's true.

Those so-called immortals are the lineage of Tao Zhu Mountain.

It is said that it was the final retreat of Fan Li and Xi Shi during the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Fan family was the descendants of Fan Li. But when the Great Chu State was destroyed, they didn't go out of the mountain to help the Fan family again.

My father thought that Tao Zhushan no longer cared about worldly things. Few people know about this, and I used it as a story when I was a child.

But that night, I saw him in person.

He said that I was born with a relationship with the Holy Fire Sect, and letting Qingqing stay by his side could only hurt her, so he asked me to cut off contact with Qingqing. ”

Shen Qiu's heart was clear.

The matter of the immortals of the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty has been widely spread among the people, and he has also heard of it.

But after all, it was three hundred years ago, and it is really difficult to name a ugly person.

And according to Yaoqin, that Tao Zhushan seems to be also a member of the Xianmen.

But it's not an orthodox sect like Penglai Kunlun, but more like some inheritance of the immortal family.

"That makes sense."

Shen Qiu looked at Yaoqin's wrist.

This gentle beauty in the south of the Yangtze River is made of water.

The pinch just now left an ugly bruise on her skin, and although there was a true qi to dissolve, it would take a few days to dissipate.

He let go of Yaoqin's wrist and said in a deep voice:

"What about the Holy Fire Cult? Those thieves are here for you, and I know that they are here to take you back to the Holy Volcano of the Western Regions.

Because of this, the five Dharma protectors in the sect were used, and all of them were elite. Your identity must be unusual, Yaoqin, don't hide it anymore, tell it all. ”

It's a straightforward inquiry.

It was like a sharp knife, piercing Yaoqin's heart, making the girl frown and have doubts in her heart.

When she saw Shen Qiu's sharp eyes staring at her, she lowered her head a little uneasily, as if she was afraid that Shen Qiu would treat her as a broom-like figure.

Shen Qiu said again:

"Before, a few seniors reminded me that Qingqing, you, the Falling Moon Qintai, have some subtle connections with the Demon Sect.

You obviously don't know martial arts, but you can do such a wonderful art of longitudinalization.

I've seen some of them on the market, and this longitudinal technique is clearly more subtle than the phantom footwork I use now. You told me about your mother before that she was an outsider.

I also asked Qingqing, that girl grew up with you since she was a child, and she also saw your father Su Han when she was a child, but she never saw your mother until your mother died. ”

Shen Qiu stood up, and every time he said a word, Yaoqin's body trembled.

"I don't think you're a member of the Demon Sect, and it's impossible for you to join the Demon Sect with such a weak temperament. So, a lot of right and wrong in you should come from your mother? ”

Yaoqin's face turned pale and she didn't answer, but Shen Qiu knew that her guess was correct.

And he said:

"Before the Suzhou War, you suddenly wanted to go to Liangguang and your party, and you wanted to take Qingqing with you, obviously you got the news in advance and wanted to avoid trouble.

Among the demon cultists gathered in Suzhou, there should be people who are familiar with your mother.

I have not told you or anyone else that before the Battle of Suzhou, I met an old man with a peachwood cane on his back and a piano on his back outside the piano platform. ”

He stared into Yaoqin's eyes and said:

"The old man said, "He has come for you."

Later, I learned from Ai Dacha that the identity of the old man was actually the head of the Holy Fire Sect, the Peach Blossom Lord, Yang Tao!

Your mother is a member of the Holy Fire Cult!

And he must still have a noble status, so that a master of the heavenly list like Yang Tao can come all the way to Suzhou from the Western Regions.

Yaoqin, you see, I've put together all the pieces of the puzzle, and only the last piece is missing. ”

Shen Qiu said:

"Just say it, just guess it."

In the face of Shen Qiu's continuous questioning, Yaoqin was silent for a long time, and then said in a dumb voice:

"It's all about my mother, you guess it's pretty much right. My mother, named Zhiyue, is... She is the former saint of the Holy Fire Cult.

In the year when Zhang Moxie went to the Holy Volcano to challenge Yang Tao, the Holy Fire Sect was in chaos.

My mother and her sister, that is, my aunt, secretly helped Zhang Moxie once when the sect was chaotic, and when he challenged Yang Tao for the second time, they temporarily broke off the connection between the Sect and the Millennium Sacred Flame, so that Zhang Moxie defeated Yang Tao.

After that, Zhang Moxie allowed them to leave the Holy Fire Sect.

They fled from the Western Regions, but were separated in Guanzhong.

My mother was saved by my father, fell in love with my father, and then had me. ”

All the doubts in Shen Qiu's heart were immediately answered.

Yaoqin's mother's story doesn't sound complicated, but it brings new questions to Shen Qiu.

He thought about it for a moment and asked:

"I heard that the Holy Maiden of the Holy Fire Sect, the thousand-year-old holy flame of the Holy Fire Sect, is indeed a high authority, after Zhang Moxie disappeared, Yang Tao reorganized the Holy Fire Sect, and it is natural to find the Holy Maiden.

But your mother has died, so why are the Flame Sect members still chasing after you? ”

"Because, my mother left me something."

Yaoqin smiled bitterly, and she reached out to light the boudoir candlestick.

Under Shen Qiu's gaze, Yaoqin stretched out her hand and placed her finger in the candle flame, but there was no pain.

The flame was also wrapped around Yaoqin's fingers, like a docile little snake jumping.

He didn't seem to want to hurt her.

"The Holy Maiden of the Holy Fire Sect is not something that any woman can be.

Before she died, my mother told me that this family of saints was born with the flame more than a thousand years ago.

She and my aunt, who had been missing for many years, were the last two of them to be left after a thousand years of this bloodline.

Unfortunately, I inherited it.

The Holy Fire Sect worshipped our clan as a holy woman, saying that it was an offering, but in fact it was confined.

My mother and aunt had no choice but to escape, and becoming a saint meant dedicating their lives to the flame, and they could not leave it again.

Until the next saint reaches adulthood, her body will be burned in the holy fire.

to be used as fuel for the transmission of the flame. ”

Yaoqin's tone was sad, and she said:

"Before my mother died, she told me.

For a thousand years, the suffering of the flame has always flowed among our blood.

Every generation of our people has to endure that suffering, and every generation has to make its own choices.

She found an opportunity to finally leave the Holy Volcano and be free.

tastes the love and hate of the world, and doesn't want me to return to that kind of captivity and suffering.

She told me to hide, let me hide, as long as I wait for decades, without the protection of the Holy Maiden, the thousand-year-old flame will naturally be extinguished.

At that time, the Holy Fire Cult will be destroyed, and I will no longer have to worry about my life. ”

Yaoqin let out a long breath, she raised her head, and said to Shen Qiu:

"Since my mother's death, I have kept my vows and hid in the piano platform, hoping that the evil fire would be extinguished as soon as possible. This time the Holy Flame taught people to run thousands of miles, which also showed that the fire was indeed about to go out. ”

"You and Qingqing don't get involved in this matter, I have made a decision to follow Uncle Hei to Sichuan Shu Mo City, where I will wait for the evil fire to be extinguished.

Without the thousand-year-old flame, the Flame Cult will collapse on its own, and at that time, the shackles on my body will be untied. ”

Having said this, Yaoqin felt sad in her heart, and her big eyes became red, and she really loved Qingqing in her heart.

But at the moment, there is really no way to part with life and death.

She reached out to hold Shen Qiu's hand and said as if pleading:

"Shen Qiu, you must take care of Qingqing, so that she doesn't have to worry about me.

After that, I stayed in Mocheng for a long time, and I would also chant and pray for her.

If you are with Qingqing, you still have a relationship with me.

More than ten years later, we will still see each other. ”

Shen Qiu was also a little silent.

What Yaoqin said does make sense.

If those Holy Flame Sect people are really to welcome back the Holy Maiden and make the thousand-year-old holy flame burn for a long time, then it is indeed a good way for Yaoqin to hide and wait until the holy flame is extinguished.

It is still the city of Sichuan and Shumo.

It is located in a steep and secluded place, and it is supported by the good old man who has the skills of Wujiu Juzi.

Yaoqin thought about it, and she shouldn't have to worry about her life.

It's just that such a picturesque beauty has to be confined alone in Mocheng for more than ten years.

Wasting the best years of life in that lonely and remote hidden place is like being trapped in a lonely city, with green lanterns and ancient scrolls, burning out the years, and being lonely for half a life.

This is really a bit too cruel.

The atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant for a while.

Shen Qiu wanted to say something, but just as he spoke, he saw Yaoqin who was lowering his head and wiping his eyes.

From this point of view, Yaoqin's dignified eyebrows were unexpectedly charming.

It's so familiar.

I must have seen such similar eyebrows somewhere.

Before, every time he saw Yaoqin, that strange sense of déjà vu came to his mind again, and Shen Qiu thought about it for a long time.

Since I entered this era, I have seen a woman who is unforgettable.

There are only a few.

Lin Huiyin, no!

Shen Lan, it's not!

Xiuhe, no!

Qingqing, even less so.

Who else?

Shen Qiu rubbed his forehead, thinking about it, this is only the eldest lady in Luoyang...

Wait a minute!

Lei Shiyin!

That little girl who is still young, weak in shape, and smart in mind, although she has not grown up yet, she already has a trace of charm and natural state.

That's her!

There seemed to be a flash of lightning slashing across Shen Qiu's heart.

He got up suddenly, took a step forward, reached out with his left hand, caressed Yaoqin's warm chin, and lifted her cheek.

He looked closely at the face, especially between his eyebrows.

"Don't move!"

Yaoqin is such a beautiful lady, how could she have been so close to a man, she instinctively wanted to break free of Shen Qiu's hand, but she was scolded by Shen Qiu, so she didn't dare to move again.

Shen Qiu stretched out his finger and put it on Yaoqin's eyes.

Only the eyebrows and eyelashes remain.

He moved his body again, changed multiple angles, looked carefully, and at this look, he narrowed his eyes.

"You just said that your mother has a sister, and you have an aunt?"

Shen Qiu took a step back and said to Yaoqin, who was flushed:

"Have you seen her?"

"Nope."

Yaoqin shook her head, and she said:

"My aunt and my mother have not seen her since they were separated in the war in Guanzhong more than ten years ago because of the attack on Hu Yan horse thieves by the Tiance army.

In order to fulfill the desire of his mother, his father also deliberately made the Falling Moon Merchant Workshop look for it everywhere in the world.

I searched for several years, but I didn't find any trace.

Naturally, I never met my aunt.

Mother always said that Aunt Shiyun had a bad fate, and she suffered a fate for her, and if there was an afterlife, she would repay Aunt Shiyun. ”

"Your aunt's name is Shiyun?"

Shen Qiu's eyes flashed, and he asked:

"Any other names?"

"My aunt was not in good health when she was young, so she was given a nickname by the elders of the clan, called Gillian..."

Yaoqin replied.

"That's right!"

Shen Qiu took a step back and clapped his palms together.

With a happy smile on his face, he said to Yaoqin:

"You sit in the Zen monastery, and I'll go to the hidden tower in the city.

Yaoqin, don't be in a hurry to leave Suzhou.

There may be some turning points for the better. ”
