Chapter 15: The Old Past

An Ding and Lu Changfeng stood not far away, with a light smile on An Ding's face, infinite affection in his eyes, and sighed: "It's so good." She asked Lu Changfeng beside her again, "Brother, you say, how long has no one been waiting for us to go home?" ”

Lu Changfeng was silent.

The surrounding environment seems to have returned to more than ten years ago, the weather was fine that day, the wind swept on his face, and he went out to fly a kite with him. At that time, Stable parents and his parents were also waiting for them to come home at the door.

Anding also asked how long no one had waited for them to go home, where was there a home, they were just wreckage lingering under the tip of a knife. Lu Changfeng smiled bitterly: "Let's go." ”

Seeing them, Manyue stood up and beckoned: "Lu Changfeng, stability, you are back." ”

Lu Changfeng put his hands behind his back, and when he got closer, he said, "Let the county lord wait for a long time." ”

It's already noon, and Lu Changfeng has been in prison for so many days, so he must not have eaten well. It just so happened that Liu Anan taught her a few dishes, and she hadn't had time to try it yet, so she was going to show her skills today. Speaking of Liu An'an, it seems that I haven't seen her much in the past few days, "Taomu, have you seen Liu An'an today?" ”

Momoki thought for a while and shook his head: "I didn't see it, she said she was going to buy vegetables yesterday, and then she didn't seem to come back......"

"It's over, nothing will happen." Although she looks no different from ordinary people now, she is still a ghost after all, if she meets a Taoist monk who knows how to do things, she will be taken in for Tianxingdao directly.

Manyue looked anxious and said to Lu Changfeng: "Lu Changfeng, you guys are busy first, and I'll come to you another day." After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran, Lu Changfeng grabbed her wrist and immediately let go, "If there is something wrong with the county lord, I may be able to help." ”

That's right, Lu Changfeng has so many people under his hands, it is only fitting for him to help. Manyue calmed down, "I have a friend named Liu An'an, she is missing now, I have to go to her." ”

An Ding and Lu Changfeng glanced at each other, and said suspiciously: "Liu An'an, isn't she dead?" ”

"You know?" Manyue suddenly reacted, now is not the time to pursue this, she can't understand Liu An'an's matter for a while, besides, the matter of making up the story has to be handed over to the judge, she can't do it, "Don't talk about this first, find someone first." ”

She went to the Sword Pavilion first, and the punishment was also going to find her, and the two just bumped into each other.

"Punishment, I have something to look for you."

"Uncle Junior, I also have something to look for you."

Manyue saw that he was holding a wooden box in his hand, which was used to hold paper people that day, and she asked tentatively: "What you want to say, it won't be Liu An'an, right?" ”

The torturer pulled her through the door and opened the wooden box to show her, and the paper figure inside burned half of her body, emitting a burning smell. Manyue's face fell suddenly, and she was a little worried: "She's okay, right?" ”

Even if Liu An'an entangled her first, it was very annoying to cry and cry all day long, but Liu An'an treated her very well. Ever since she had a body, she has always changed her ways to cook for her.

"It's hard to say, but we can find her through the paper figures." Si Xing looked at her, Manyue had been in the ruins for so long, and there was probably no one in this world who was more familiar with the undead than her, and even she herself didn't know about it.

The punishment explained: "There is her breath on the paper figure, and the breath can be traced according to the breath. Uncle Xiao, you get along with her day and night, and you are very familiar with her breath, and this breathing technique is most suitable for you to perform. ”

Manyue's hands were sealed, the paper figure floated in the air and slowly turned into ashes, Manyue opened her eyes, and a dark red blurry shadow appeared in front of her eyes. Seeing that the figure looked like Liu An'an, the shadow walked away, and she hurried to catch up.

The shadow passed through most of the city, leading them to a deserted courtyard to the east of the city. The outer stone walls had been blackened by fire, and a few half-burned yellow runes hung on the walls, and she pushed the door, only to slam the door down, and the houses inside were in ruins.

The tiles under her feet made a cracking sound, and she shouted as she walked inside, "Liu An'an......"

The priest grabbed her and pointed to the big trees in the courtyard that were half burned to charcoal, half alive and half dead, one side was charred, and the other side was still flourishing. There was a fire here, and even the stone wall outside was not spared, and how did this tree survive.

They walked to the sunny side and saw a pile of hair hanging down from the dense canopy, and a woman's pale face hidden in the canopy.

"Liu An'an?"

She moved, her mouth wide open but she couldn't speak, only a low scream. "What's wrong with her?" Manyue asked.

Si Xing took out a white porcelain vase and cast a spell to put her in, "She should have become a ghost, fortunately she is still a little sane, otherwise she should let Black and White Impermanence collect her." ”

After returning to the Sword Pavilion, Manyue asked the shopkeeper to tell Lu Changfeng that he had found it. Unexpectedly, Lu Changfeng and An Ding came back with the shopkeeper. Manyue directly pressed her palm on the door frame, blocking the door tightly, just not letting them in.

Just kidding, the torturer is arranging a formation and is saving Liu An'an, if the two of them bump into each other, they can't tell with ten mouths. She stood in the middle, grabbed the crook of their arms, and dragged them outside, "My brother said he hadn't seen you for many days, and he wanted to talk to you." ”

"County Lord, where is Liu An'an?" An Ding asked.

Manyue scratched her hair, "She's injured, it's serious, Si Ming is treating her, anyway...... It's not convenient to meet people right now. ”

"Since that's the case......" Lu Changfeng pursed his lips, his eyes were dark, he withdrew his hand from the crook of her arm, and gave her a salute: "Then I'll come back another day." Manyue wanted to stop him, but An Ding shook his head at her.

"What's wrong with him?"

An Ding sighed lightly, he was a person who was cooler than anyone else in his bones, but he always had to pretend to be gentle and gentle, "This is not the place to speak...... " She glanced at the Sword Pavilion behind Manyue, "Go to my house." ”

The maid brought two cups of tea, served a few plates of snacks, and pushed the plate in front of her: "I only have these few snacks at home, don't dislike the county lord." ”

Manyue: "No, no, no. She grabbed a piece of cake in her hand and took a few bites, "By the way, what's wrong with Lu Changfeng?" ”

"It's a long story." An Ding's fingers kept turning the cup, as if he was thinking about how to speak, "Our two families are world friends, ten years ago, Uncle Lu moved his family to Suizhou, and my father went to see him off. As a result, that night, they were ambushed by Beirong, and in the end, he was the only one who survived. According to the officials sent by Sheng Jing, they found him in a dry well, and when they found him, he was covered in blood, and his bones were broken and he was no longer human......"

"Over the years, he has also found out a lot of things, in fact, the enemy attack was not an accident, it was someone who betrayed Uncle Lu's whereabouts to Beirong, but he has never been able to find out who the collaborator is. Until a few days ago, he brought back a piece of iron, which was originally embedded in the armor, and there was a forest character engraved on it. ”

Iron piece, Manyue suddenly remembered the piece that Lu Changfeng took from her on the day she met Liu An'an, wouldn't it be that.

"The soldier surnamed Lin had one under Uncle Lu before, and this piece of iron was on the armor of Deputy General Lin, and coincidentally, Vice General Lin went to Changfeng the day before he died, but he was fighting at the border at that time. When I returned, there were no people. An Ding drank saliva and moistened his throat: "Do you know, who this Deputy General Lin is?" ”

Manyue shook her head.

"Liu An'an's husband."

Manyue just got stuck in her throat with a bite of snack, and coughed violently, she really didn't expect that the female ghost she picked up casually still had this relationship with Lu Changfeng.

Anding poured her a glass of water and patted her on the back to help her breathe, "I thought that Vice General Lin and Liu An'an were dead, and this clue was broken, but I didn't expect that there was also a Liu An'an by the county lord's side." The truth is right in front of you, but you can't touch it, and you will inevitably be disappointed. ”

Manyue returned to the Sword Pavilion, cleaned his hands, and said, "Liu An'an's condition has stabilized, and he will wake up in about three or five hours." ”

Manyue answered, and the shopkeeper walked in with a lantern, and she leaned over, "What are you holding a flower for?" ”

"It's a lotus lantern." "Tomorrow is the Prayer Festival, and in the evening, everyone will go to the river lantern to pray to the gods for blessing and make a wish, and the farther the river lantern floats, the more blessed it will be." ”

"Mortals put river lanterns to make a wish to the gods, what about the gods, to whom should the gods make a wish?"

"The owner thinks too much, the gods are omnipotent, where do you want to make a wish." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Really?" She muttered, straightened her clothes and sat on the threshold, leaning against the door frame, looking up at the slowly sinking sunset. Are gods omnipotent, but she saw a god mired in hatred.
