Chapter 18 Entering the Qingcheng Gate at Night
The night is like ink, and everything is silent.
Under the cover of night, several figures are like charms, carrying the wind and traveling, quickly shuttling through the street Langfang. The wind swept up the fallen leaves, and in a few moments, the figure fell between the mottled and lush branches.
"Gah-"
A crow flapped its wings and flew away, making the night even more gloomy and poignant.
The moonlight is as cool as water, reflecting the situation under the trees. The walls are ruined, the stone steps are cold, the ground is full of ashes, and the prosperity and noise of the past are accompanied by the tragic situation of the place.
This is the Qingcheng Gate that was slaughtered a month ago, and it shows its tragic face in front of the world, so as to vent its deep resentment against the murderer behind the loss of humanity.
A few people in the tree observed the surrounding environment before they landed, making this empty place finally usher in a long-lost popularity.
When Si Yan arrived on the ground, he detached his hand from Qu Wanwan's waist as soon as he arrived, Qu Wanwan didn't deliberately care about his movements, she held the bag of incense candles and lowered her head and looked very sad, and she was wearing a white dress in the moonlight, which looked even more beautiful and refined, like a fairy in the moon falling into the dust.
"Lou girl, don't be too sad." The red sleeves stepped forward to support Qu Wanwan's weak willow Fufeng's posture.
Qu Wanwan took advantage of her strength to pose a heartbroken appearance, her slender body trembled, as if she would faint if she couldn't withstand the blow in the next moment.
"Miss Lou, she's really pitiful!" Jing Lan looked at Qu Wanwan's delicate back, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Si Yan held the sword in his hand, his thin lips pursed slightly, and although he didn't say a word, his deep gaze didn't take away from her for a moment.
"Palace Master, you acted so well, it was seamless." Redsleeves whispered in her ear.
Si Yan and Jing Lan followed behind the two, not close or far, just about three meters. The whispers of Red Sleeves and Qu Wanwan were nothing more than a look of relief and comfort in their eyes.
"Don't be careless, or your work will be wasted." Qu Wanwan gave her a look.
"Well, Redsleeves understands." Red Sleeves helped her up the steps, "But what is the intention of the people behind this to destroy the Qingcheng Gate so much?" ”
"It's not clear yet, but it's definitely a plan." Qu Wanwan responded.
After Qu Wanwan finished speaking, her eyes swept around her, she had been to Qingcheng Gate twice, and she knew the layout here well, Qingcheng Gate, this Qingcheng Gate was not equipped with many mechanisms, and it was not as strict as Tianji Gate. However, this master of the door is meticulous, and she has searched the entire door but has not found the secret book.
"Cheats?" Redsleeves thought for a moment and asked.
"It's definitely not that simple, he can destroy the entire Qingcheng Gate, which shows that the martial arts are profound and the city government is unfathomable." Qu Wanwan walked to an open space and put incense candles and paper money on the ground, and then knelt down again.
The palace masters of their own family knelt down and bowed to the red sleeves, so she immediately knelt beside Qu Wanwan and lit incense candles and dark coins with her.
"No matter how high he is, he will definitely not be the opponent of the palace master." The red-sleeved tsundere said.
The firelight ignited, copying the silhouettes of the two, Qu Wanwan pretended to sob, and replied to the red-sleeved words with an expressionless face, "It's not necessarily, there is no comparison that can't be overdone." This man's secretive behavior will definitely become a big trouble for our Jacaranda Palace in the future, and we must find him out as soon as possible. ”
Qu Wanwan mentioned this, and the red sleeves also became strict. Everything about her family's palace master and the jacaranda palace is more important to her than her life.
"But there is no ......"
"Don't talk, someone." Before Red Sleeves could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Qu Wanwan.
Someone?!
Red Sleeves' heart instantly rose to his throat, his whole body entered a state of vigilance, and his hand also touched the hidden weapon on his waist, Feixue Frost.
"Don't move, he's not going to make a move." Qu Wanwan held her hand silently.
Red Sleeves let go of his hand and looked back at Si Yan and Jing Lan, who were not far away, but found that they were also completely unaware of the same as himself.
Qu Wanwan frowned, and the movements of her hands did not stop, as if they were no different from others, and the afterglow at the end of her eyes stared at a certain place in the darkness.
That man, he came a long time ago.
He must have anticipated their actions, so why did he choose not to make a move but to spy on them. He is Lou Qingqing's identity at the moment, if he wants to get some information to catch himself. But he didn't, the reason why Qu Wanwan concluded like this was that he didn't show any murderous aura on his body.
Perhaps, he was also trying to affirm something.
He hid it so well that if it weren't for his innate agility and vigilance, she wouldn't have been able to find out.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, even if he doesn't plan to make a move, Qu Wanwan doesn't want to be watched like this. She quickened the movement of her hand, waited until the coin burned and wiped her cheeks, which were completely free of tears.
"Si Yan, let's go! Staying here longer is more dangerous. I have paid homage to my deceased relatives, and my grief shows that I have no regrets in my heart at this moment except revenge. Qu Wanwan wiped away the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes.
"Qingqing, I know the pain in your heart. But you can't be too anxious about revenge, and you don't have to live the rest of your life with hatred. Si Yan said.
Revenge is inevitable, but how sad it would be if a person lived for hatred all his life and fell into boundless darkness and haze. Especially for a beautiful and weak person like her, Si Yan couldn't bear to think about it.
Qu Wanwan nodded heavily, "Si Yan, don't worry." My parents have wanted me to be healthy and happy for the rest of my life. How could I live up to their expectations, I have already told them that I will live well and do my best to avenge them. ”
"Miss Lou, it's really good that you can think like this." Jing Lan didn't expect such a delicate woman's heart to be so transparent.
Jing Lan secretly swore in her heart that she must practice martial arts hard in the future and strive to contribute to her revenge.
"Qingqing should have been blessed with a shallow life, but fortunately with you, she can be safe and sound, and she still needs to rely on your help for a long way in the future. Qingqing can't repay it, what will I tell me to go all out in the future. Qu Wanwan bowed to the two of them between her words.
"Qingqing doesn't have to be like this." Si Yan helped her up.
"Yes, yes, Miss Lou doesn't have to be like this. It has always been fate to meet, and we can meet and know each other, which shows that this is all destined in the dark, besides, our Tianjimen has always been inseparable from the jacaranda palace, and your joining has added a force to us. Jing Lan said with a grin.
"Jing Lan is reasonable, so Qingqing doesn't have to think about him." Si Yan took over.
"Hmm." Qu Wanwan looked up at him gratefully.
The candlelight was blown out by the wind, and the ashes of the paper money fluttered in the air, and the shadows of the trees swayed.
Jing Lan looked away, her eyes turned and fell on the body of the red sleeve, at this time, her eyes also looked at him, and the two met in mid-air unexpectedly.
Red Sleeves smiled sweetly at him, and it took less than a second to retract the light in her eyes, leaving Jing Lan with red ears and a daze on her delicate and cute side face.
