Chapter 16 What changed him
The winter wind enveloped the chill and pierced into the clothes and into the bones like pins.
Gao Qingzhu clung to the fur on his body and wrapped himself in an airtight airtight wind.
It has been a day since Xu Nanxing disappeared, and when he was asked why his senior brother suddenly disappeared, he could only use him as an excuse to do important things, so he was confused. It's just that it's not a way to live in Lu Bing's house all the time, and the little young master of the Lu family is still eyeing Gao Qingzhu, so she has to find a way to leave quickly.
Today, in order not to meet Lu Shaohua in the Lu Mansion, I decided to go out for a walk.
The destination for wandering, she picked the famous Qingming Temple in Xishan City, which is also Murong Bai's residence.
Qingming Temple, located in the middle of the mountain, starting from Xishan City, all the way to the north, connected by a long and gentle stone steps, I heard that the Qingming incense is continuous, and extremely effective, so it attracted many people to pray for incense.
Before stepping into the gate of the temple, Gao Qingzhu smelled the strong incense from a distance.
She went out very early, and slipped out of Lu Bing's house wearing a coat at dawn, and it was estimated that it was seven or eight o'clock in the morning, but as soon as she entered Qingming Temple, it was already crowded with people.
In the middle of the temple is a huge Bodhi tree, it is a hundred years old, the branches are luxuriant, the roots are thick, the roots are intertwined, if you don't know when to plant, Gao Qingzhu thinks it is hundreds of years old, think of the yew tree Sumu at Linhai Station, the three-thousand-year-old monster, if it changes back to its original shape, it must be an ancient giant tree.
If she had the chance, she really wanted to see what Su Mu's original form looked like.
The temple is noisy, there are two corridors leading to the gardens on both sides, there are trees and lakes, leisure and elegance, but at this time there are many people who worship the Buddha and pray for it, it is really disturbing the original quiet.
In front of the Bodhi tree, there is a pond, it is winter, and there is no lively carp and elegant lotus flowers in summer, which looks a little depressed.
Gao Qingzhu sighed softly, but unfortunately he couldn't see the amazing picture, so he crossed the Bodhi tree, planning to go inside again.
Coincidentally, a figure that disgusted her met her eyes.
It's Lu Shaohua.
He was wandering around in this Qingming Temple with a few mixed children, and he didn't know what he was going to do.
In order not to cause trouble to himself, this Qingming Temple seemed to be unable to wait, Gao Qingzhu looked around, and walked quickly towards the garden by the corridor.
Along the periphery of the entire Qingming Temple, I don't know how long I walked, I saw a small remote door.
"My father also said that they are some kind of immortals who have attained the Tao, I think they are two liars, it is because of the two of them, my knees are still painful!" Not far behind him, Lu Shaohua's voice came.
He's really a dogskin plaster, and he can be found anywhere.
Gao Qingzhu was secretly unhappy in his heart, but he still pushed open the small door and got out, even if he was not afraid, Gao Qingzhu had to avoid him, so as not to be wrong.
The back gate of Qingming Temple is connected to the back mountain, which is a secluded path, the winding path is secluded, quiet and far-reaching.
Now there is no turning back, Gao Qingzhu can only go towards the back mountain, after she has walked for a long time, over a dirt slope, a sunken shallow pit, a man and a woman are facing her back, sitting in front of a strange thing.
It wasn't that big, about three or four people in size, silvery-white, a bit like a small spaceship in a science fiction movie that Gao Qingzhu had seen.
And the man and woman were chatting, because they were too far away to hear clearly, Gao Qingzhu didn't see who the two were at first, but when she recalled what Murong Bai was wearing two days ago, she could be sure that they were Murong Bai and the woman named 2309.
In retrospect, I saw her at Linhai Station at that time, and her body shape and clothes were indeed similar.
At this time, she was getting up and fiddling with the silver-white spaceship, as if she was repairing it, while Murong Bai on the side was helping to do it.
Gao Qingzhu suddenly realized that the dislocation had sent her to the time when Murong Bai and 2309 met.
Looking at the picture in front of him, Gao Qingzhu only felt that it was too weird, after all, no one could imagine that a Bodhi Fruit Demon was repairing a futuristic spaceship with a woman from the year 2130 in ancient times.
Seeing that they were chatting hotly, it was not good to disturb them any longer, Gao Qingzhu still decided to go back, go down the mountain and go back to the city and go elsewhere.
But as soon as he turned around, a feeling of dizziness hit.
She knew what the dizziness meant, and she remembered the same uncomfortable feeling when she had first been here a few days ago, when the misalignment had overlapped her into this era.
So she is, is she going back?
As she closed her eyes, her thoughts drifted off into the distance.
When I opened my eyes again, a firelight filled my body, and bursts of heat rushed in, accompanied by thick smoke.
Gao Qingzhu covered his mouth and nose for the first time, but he was still choked, coughing again and again, his eyes were misty, and his eyes were suddenly moist, blurring his vision.
I only heard the sound of the fire, and vaguely, I could hear someone calling for help, shouting hoarsely, as if I had used all my strength, screaming one after another, like a heart-rending pain.
"Say, where is she?" In a trance, Murong Bai's voice came, but it was not as warm as before.
He seemed to be talking to someone, but the other party just begged for mercy with a trembling voice, and with the noise around him, Gao Qingzhu couldn't really hear it.
The surrounding fire was fierce, but Murong Bai's voice was extremely cold: "If you don't say it, I can kill you now; If you do, maybe I'll spare your life. ”
"I say I say!" Gao Qingzhu finally heard the person he was talking to.
It's Lu Shaohua!
How did they meet?
Listening to their tone, Lu Shaohua seemed to have offended Murong Bai, and the person Murong Bai asked about her must be 2309.
What happened between them.
"She, she." Lu Shaohua just repeated the word her, but he was always afraid and couldn't say the next words.
Seeing him spitting for a long time, Murong Bai was in his hand, the sword was cold, the blade was sharp, and he stabbed Lu Shaohua directly.
"She's dead!" Lu Shaohua crossed his hands in front of him, his head was buried in his knees, he was frightened and terrified in his heart, and finally shook out the facts.
The sword hung in the air, Murong Bai's movements stopped, he stared blankly ahead, and a tear slipped silently from the corner of his eye.
Seeing Murong Bai standing motionless in place, Lu Shaohua hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please let me go, you have already burned our family, and now you have affected the people in the city, this revenge should also be avenged, isn't her one life worth the tens of thousands of lives of the people in the city?" ”
Gao Qingzhu never thought that this kind of thing would happen, when he first saw Murong Bai, he was a polite and gentle son, but at this time, he seemed to be a different person, cold and indifferent, completely overthrowing his image in Gao Qingzhu's heart.
Hearing only a miserable scream and the sound of the sword, Gao Qingzhu realized that Murong Bai still made a move.
He killed Lu Shaohua.
He killed someone......
The eaves overhead became extremely fragile under the onslaught of the fire, and under the continuous erosion of the fire, it finally couldn't bear to fall down, and Gao Qingzhu was standing under the crumbling eaves at this time.
Just as it was about to fall on the top of Gao Qingzhu's head, at the last moment, the dizziness hit again.
……
"Yo, I'm back." In my ears, it was Xu Nanxing's voice, which flickered and flickered along with the waves.
Slowly opening his eyes, Gao Qingzhu found himself lying on the sofa, the sea in the distance, the blue waves were sparkling, and the reflected light suddenly pierced into his eyes from the sea, and his eyes were forced to close again.
She sat up straight from the couch and found herself back at Rinkai Station.
Glancing over Murong Bai, who was standing outside the pavilion looking at the sea, he was still here and didn't leave, Gao Qingzhu frowned slightly, and glanced at Xu Nanxing, who was sitting opposite, he was still wearing the clothes he had when he disappeared that day, and asked, "You just came back too?" ”
"It's only a few minutes faster than you, how about it, have you been taken advantage of by the little young master of the Lu family?" Xu Nanxing joked, but he didn't pay attention to Murong Bai's slightly trembling body when he heard Lu Shaohua.
"No, I went to Qingming Temple." Gao Qingzhu said, but she also deliberately glanced at Murong Bai when she said this.
Seeing that he didn't react, she no longer shy away from it, and went straight to the point in the direction of Murong Bai: "We went to Xishan City." ”
"He already knows." Xu Nanxing replied for him, "I told him just now, but he hasn't spoken since Xiao Jiu disappeared. ”
"Of course he couldn't speak." Gao Qingzhu relaxed, put one hand on the armrest of the sofa, supported his chin with the other, and showed a meaningful smile, "Tell me, Murong Bai, why did you kill Lu Shaohua?" ”
The hands that were originally behind his back suddenly loosened because of Gao Qingzhu's words, Murong Bai turned around and stared at her closely, the shock in his eyes was obvious, but more than that, it was sadness.
For a long time, except for the sound of the waves, Linhai Station fell into a dead silence for a while.
It was finally broken when Murong Bai's voice sounded: "He killed Xiao Jiu, was it wrong for me to kill him?" ”
"This is your private matter, and I have no right to intervene, but the innocent people in Xishan City are at fault?" Gao Qingzhu's face no longer smiled, but was cold and serious.
Xu Nanxing on the side couldn't believe his ears, after careful calculation, he came back a few minutes earlier than Gao Qingzhu, but it seemed that he had missed so many wonderful stories for a whole century.
He was curious, curious about what Gao Qingzhu had seen and heard, and curious about what Murong Bai had done.
Murong Bai's body trembled, and he said lightly: "They are accidents, I just want to kill Lu Shaohua." ”
To put it mildly, they were accidents, and they passed perfunctorily. Obviously, Murong Bai has lost his former kindness, and in this flashy world, no one can guarantee that he will not be infected by the world, let alone a Bodhi fruit that has fallen to the ground and entered the world.
Bodhi washes away the lead dream, and everything in the world is empty.
Now that I think about it, this poem is really ironic when it is placed on Murong Bai.
"That 2309, how did you die? And how did she get to Linhai Station after she died? Xu Nanxing understood a rough idea and asked softly.
Murong Bai's eyes drooped, his eyes full of remorse, "They all blame me, I don't want her to leave me, so I destroyed her repaired spaceship." This made her angry and ran out for a while, maybe at that time, she was caught by Lu Shaohua...... Just now she appeared here, maybe it was a misplaced relationship, so that she was still alive and overlapped into your era. ”
"You ruined her ship?" Xu Nanxing was taken aback, "You do this-"
"Selfish." Gao Qingzhu followed Xu Nanxing's words, in one sentence.
Yes, selfish, Murong Bai admitted, but he loves Xiao Jiu and loses his beloved, who can say let it go? He only felt that Lu Shaohua deserved to die, but this hatred made him lose his mind.
Xiao Jiu disappeared for a few days during the time he spent with Murong Bai, and he must have been taken to Linhai Station by misplacement at that time.
After struggling to find the dislocation that appeared in ancient times, Murong Bai begged him to send himself into the 21st century to find the point in time when she was still alive.
Unfortunately, the two only saw each other for a few minutes.
He had lost her after all.
