In Gusu tonight, the wind and rain were blowing, and the four people in the courtyard did not have any traces of being wet.

The atmosphere was solemn and terrifying.

After listening to what duckweed said, Gu Qing's tears welled up again. She knelt down, bowed solemnly three times to the hall, and said in a sad tone: "Mother-in-law, father-in-law, and Grandma Wang, mother-in-law, Fanghua, Fangcao, Xiaosi, Li Er, Wang San, do you hear, that person is a heinous fate." It's because we've all seen the wrong people, and I hate them so much. I want to avenge you, I want to avenge you with you. But we are all trapped in this house, and no one can go out to take revenge. I hate it. ”

She turned around and kowtowed three times to the east, and said, "Father, mother, my daughter is not filial, and she can no longer be filial in front of you." If Qing'er is lucky enough to have a next life, I am still willing to be your daughter. ”

After that, she bowed to the duckweed three more times and said, "Lady, I know you must be very powerful." I'm a lonely ghost now, and there's nothing left to repay you. Qing'er Fubo, I don't know if you are willing to help me. If the lady is willing, I'm a lonely soul, even if the lady asks me to do something, I'm willing. ”

duckweed stepped forward to help her up and said gently: "I don't need you to do anything, you and I meet, you have a request for me, and it is my fate in itself." ”

With that, she let out a long sigh and exhaled an ethereal white mist. Strangely, the white mist was not blown away in the storm, but floated around the blood rope and kitchen knife that had just been laid out by the duckweed, and slowly wrapped them up. With the incantation in duckweed's mouth, the white mist slowly shrunk, and finally turned into a white mass of dough, which returned to duckweed's hand.

Duckweed smiled at Gu Qing and said, "I'll put you in this auspicious cloud and take you out first, and then let you out after I know what is going on." ”

Gu Qing looked at the dough-like thing in the duckweed's hand, raised his eyes and looked at the familiar courtyard again, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll bother the lady." When she said this, she still lowered her head, just like the little girl who would blush when she talked too much.

It's just that the shyness and simplicity can't be seen on the pale face now.

Before dawn, duckweed returned to the inn with the little baby, the Xuanniao and the thing that duckweed called auspicious clouds.

As soon as the little baby returned to the inn, she went to bed and lay down, but she couldn't fall asleep until dawn. Her heart was full of mixed feelings, anger, fear, distress and anxiety.

Until duckweed came up and touched her forehead and said, "What's the matter?

She whispered "um" in the bed, turned to face the duckweed, and saw the usual beautiful and cold face, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"Xiaowa is worried that we won't be able to catch the bad guys, can't we avenge Qing'er?" asked Duckweed with a smile.

Xiaowa nodded, then shook her head again and said, "I just think that Mrs. Gu Qing is very pitiful, and her parents-in-law and those subordinates are also pitiful." Xiaowa can't understand, is it because of the fault of a bad person that so many innocent people have to pay the price of their lives?"

Duckweed touched the little baby's head, thought for a while and said, "I have lived for 10,000 years, although this is the first time I have come to the world." But whether it is in the fairy world or in the human world, many times, some people are sacrificed for the sake of some people. ”

Xiaowa's face was dazed, and duckweed then explained, "For example, when dynasties change, some people are for a more stable situation, so that future generations do not live under the dark dynasty. And some people are for their own ambitions, because in the old dynasty, he could not fulfill his ambitions or desires. These two groups of people usually join forces to overthrow one regime and establish a new one. In this process, it is often not them who pay the price, but those who are in the game, unable to control their own destiny, and reduced to pawns. ”

"Are Gu Qing and her parents-in-law all chess pieces?" asked Xiaowa with a frown.

Duckweed smiled and rubbed the little baby's face and said, "I don't know." We may have to go to Bianjing and ask the man named Jiang Xinghuo. As long as I can find that person, I can find in his memory about what Qing'er's husband met when he went to Bianjing. Maybe you can find some clues, and you can know whether these dozen or so lives are all chess pieces. ”

"Sister, is Mrs. Gu Qing's husband really dead?

"Don't be vague. Certainly not dead, I didn't find his soul in those black gases. It seems that the mastermind behind the scenes is merciful, and he has not been killed yet. Duckweed replied.

"Then, sister, will that man be in Gusu or Bianjing now? Are we going to Bianjing to find him?" asked Xiaowa with a raised face.

Duckweed nodded and smiled: "We'll go to Bianjing tonight." When I came back yesterday, I searched around Gusu, and there were no demons or warlocks with profound powers. I can keep a dozen ghasts in the house, and I can feel his presence in such a person. ”

At this time, Xuanniao flew in from the window, turning into a human form, a tall but not handsome man. His voice is rich and has a special contagion.

"Master, I just went around Gusu City a few more times, and I didn't find anything else strange. I asked the demons and ghosts in the grove west of the city, and none of them had seen any warlocks recently. It's just that they said that after the accident in the Wang family, they saw a sneaky scholar with a heavy murderous aura. They didn't dare to approach such a fierce and evil person, but they saw from a distance that the scholar seemed to be walking towards the northwest official road. ”

Duckweed pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Isn't the Northwest Official Road the direction of Bianjing? Xuanniao, you haven't slept after working hard, and rest for a while. It's up to you to take us to Bianjing tonight. ”

"Xuanniao should do everything for the master, and the master does not have to be polite to Xuanniao. Xuanniao bowed his head and said.

Duckweed covered her mouth and smiled: "I can't say that, I've been reading Confucius's Four Books and Five Classics recently, and the benevolence, righteousness and morality in them are also very reasonable." ”

"Isn't Gu Qing's husband also a scholar? I see these benevolence and morality every day, and I don't see that he has been influenced. Xuanniao sighed.

"You mean I shouldn't be so gentle with you?" duckweed smiled.

"How can the master be compared to that scholar. However, it is also good for the master to read some sage books once in a while, and to be gentle. Xuanniao muttered very quietly.

It is in stark contrast to the tall body.
