Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Thousand Year Plot
The book continued from the above, and the last book said that after a fierce battle, it turned out that Li Hong, the great hero of the General's Mansion, was actually Fu Xuan, who was said by the people in the restaurant, Ziyu chose to blow himself up and die with Tianxin in order to prevent Tianxin and others from going to the General's Mansion to arrest him. The unscathed ram feather book suddenly kissed Li Tianxin, who had a stomach full of doubts. In order to hide his identity and feelings for her, Ram Yushu used the Thousand Mountains Secret Technique to seal part of Li Tianxin's memory. then told the belated arrester Zhu Ran the general situation of the matter, and finally the old madman and Li Tianxin came to the gate of the general's mansion to welcome the final truth. So it was introduced, the Si people are like shadows, the leaves fall with the wind and the trees stop alone, and the thousand-year-old entanglement finally ends, leaving the bitterness in the throat.
"Someone else?" Zhu Ran exclaimed. "Where are the other suspects in this case so far? Tomorrow is the deadline to solve the case, how can this be good? ”
"Don't worry, the murderer has been locked."
"Please make it clear to the little brother."
"General's Mansion, Li Hong."
"I'll just say there's something wrong with him!" Li Tianxin instantly came to his senses, although he didn't know what Ziyu said to the old madman later, but his conscience said that women's sixth senses are very keen!
"What?! What the? At this time, Zhu Ran's expression was like a ghost, and his head shook more like a rattle. There must be some misunderstanding... How could General Li be the murderer? ”
"Why can't he be a murderer? In addition to Su Cha, who was killed by Ziyu, the young girl in the Red Sleeve Workshop, Long Mei in the Long Xiao Martial Arts Hall, and his cousin Li Manman are all familiar with him. ”
"He is a hero in the hearts of the people, and he will soon marry Princess Fengyang, why does he want to destroy his future?"
“... This..."Li Tianxin also had the same question because of Zhu Ran's words, vendetta? Love killing? Or what? What reason did he have to kill them?
"Because this general is not another general." The old madman's smile grew.
"Little brother, it's about me and others, don't sell it!"
"Yes! This Taoist, the name of our whole family is in your hands! ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! ”
"If you want to know why, hurry up and prepare your horse. The longer the delay, the more detrimental it is to us. "The old madman is playing tricks.
"What are you guys doing here? Why don't you get ready for a horse! No! Prepare a wagon and some healing medicine! Zhu Ran seemed to understand what the old madman meant, and he was very good at branching out of other catches.
"Go buy another hairpin." The old madman looked at Tianxin's scattered hair and said lightly.
"Yes! Be! Be! Let's go! Several catchers scrambled to leave the bamboo forest.
"Little brother, now there are only three of us left, please tell me what you have."
"This General Li is changed by a monster, and the real General Li may have died in Mobei."
"Li Hong is a monster?!"
"General Li is a monster?!"
Li Tianxin and Zhu Ran both looked at the old madman in surprise, and at the same time, their brains were spinning rapidly. Could it be that Ziyu and Li Hong are accomplices? One is responsible for killing, and the other is responsible for skinning? Then why did Li Hong talk about portraits to them in the General's Mansion before? Is it abandoning the pawn to protect the car? A high-powered general, a well-known painter, this relationship is also a bit delicate. I don't understand! I really can't figure it out!
"Little brother, how sure are you about this? After all, General Li is the emperor's future brother-in-law, and there must be no mistakes. Zhu Ran paused. But all the way down, I understand that you are not an ordinary person, so believe in you, and our lives will be handed over to you. ”
"Thank you Zhu Ye for your trust, I will definitely live up to expectations."
Soon the old madman and Li Tianxin got into the carriage.
"Old madman, will Li Hong be more powerful than Ziyu? Do the two of us have a chance of winning? Tianxin was a little worried, with her cultivation as one hundred percent not Li Hong's opponent, and the old madman was injured just now.
The old madman said while giving Li Tianxin a twist. "What? Look down on me? ”
"When is it, are you still in the mood to quarrel? Oops! You tap! The old madman deliberately pulled his hair, and Li Tianxin shouted.
"Don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks." The old madman tied her hair and sat aside.
Just when Li Tianxin wanted to know what had happened when she had mixed up just now, she was interrupted by Zhu Ran's voice outside the carriage. "Two Dao Chiefs, the General's Mansion has arrived."
Li Tianxin and the old madman jumped out of the carriage, looking at the general's mansion that was close at hand, and the two of them had their own thoughts.
"I'll be here next, and I'll bother you with the rest." Zhu Ran gave up his hand and drove away in the carriage.
Li Tianxin and the old madman followed Steward Wei of the General's Mansion to the room where they had visited Li Hong before. Being able to enter this general's mansion so easily really made Li Tianxin not expect it, she thought that the general's mansion should already know about the affairs of the academy. was going to call all the way in, but now it was snacks and tea, which made her a little confused. Compared with Tianxin's worries, the old madman drank tea sparsely and usually.
"Two Dao Chiefs, please wait a moment, I'll go and ask my general." Steward Wei saluted, turned and exited the room.
"Relax." The old madman shook his head amusefully when he saw Li Tianxin sitting on pins and needles.
"Where can I relax, in case he is more powerful than that Ziyu... You're injured again, where do we have a chance of winning? ”
"You girl always likes to worry about it, with me, naturally it will be fine." The old madman touched Tianxin's head.
"Hey... Listen to you. Li Tianxin pouted, she was a well-known shun donkey, so in the face of the old madman's head killing, she naturally lost her temper.
As the door was opened, the two saw General Li, who was still tall and heroic, and his face was a little haggard compared to his previous high spirits. "The two Daoists have been waiting for a long time."
"General Li is polite."
"Li knows that you must know the truth when you come to the General's Mansion again, and if you have any questions, it doesn't hurt to say it." Li Hong took the teacup in his hand and kept turning it. His face was calm, without much undulation.
"General Li is quick to talk, since this is the case, then we will get straight to the point." The old madman looked at it without squinting, the big hero in front of him. "Ink Demon Fu Xuan, you can subdue the law."
"I know that I am guilty of a great sin, but I have one thing that I must do to ask the two Taoist elders to give me a few days."
"A thousand years have passed, why obsess?"
"Fu Xuan only wants to clear the obstacles in the afterlife for him, I have been looking for him for thousands of years, and now I am about to realize this wish."
Li Tianxin listened to their words with a blank expression, obviously the old madman knew a lot of things she didn't know. For now, she can only start with what she already knows. "Fu Xuan, what is the relationship between you and the painting demon Ziyu, and he wants to willingly bear the charge of murder for you?"
"That fool..."Fu Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, as if he was enduring something. I didn't expect him to choose to die... Why are you so persistent in guarding me, a selfish person..."
"I can tell you the answer." The old madman took out a gourd from his sleeve, he opened the lid, and a wisp of inky mist slowly rose out of the gourd, and finally converged into an inky bead, which emitted a faint light, flickering and dimming.
"It's!" Fu Xuan's eyes turned red when he looked at it, and his resolute face had feelings that didn't belong to it.
Suddenly, the ink-colored beads emitted a strong light, and the three people sitting there came to another time and space in a blink of an eye.
The green mountains are picturesque, the small bridges are flowing water, and the mountain flowers in the spring are blooming happily. In front of the window of a small bamboo building, there was a burst of laughter. "Fu Xuan, you promised me that you wanted to mention poems for this Chunxiao Tu, but I have been waiting for you for a long time, have you come up with it?"
"I'll do what I promised you, but well, I'll think about it. Otherwise, you'll make trouble with me again when the time comes. "Fu Xuan in this time and space is obviously very different from Li Hong's appearance and figure, this jade-like son, which makes people feel good and has an innate affinity.
"And when are you going to make me wait? This painting was made last spring! Ziyu stuck his waist and complained.
"Hahaha, Ziyu is really stingy, can I still leave you and run away? Well, next spring will surely give you a satisfactory answer. Fu Xuan's smile was as bright as a flower.
Suddenly, there was a burst of flying flowers, and the three of them came to another place. The streets here are bustling and peaceful.
"Ziyu! You see! Is that person him? He was reincarnated! I can't be wrong with the cinnabar mole on my right hand! Fu Xuan's voice was a little excited.
"It's him, it's him... I just don't know if he has a family background this time? Ziyu didn't care, obviously the person who was thought of by Fu Xuan had been reincarnated many times.
"Can't you just target him every life?" Fu Xuan put the scroll in his hand aside, quickly ran out of the small bookstore, and chased in the direction where he disappeared.
Ziyu looked at his back and shook his head helplessly, he didn't know when Fu Xuan would be tired of chasing, when he would stop, look back at him, the painting of Chunxiao had passed spring after spring, but there was no ink on it.
With the bustling crowd, Ziyu was submerged in the sea of people, and time and space suddenly changed the scene again. It was desolate and desolate, surrounded by a river of blood, and not far away, a man dressed in white hugged a lifeless man in armor tightly, and his cry was heartbreaking. "Li Hong, you don't want to die! If I hadn't been angry with you at the time, if I had come one step earlier... I'm not going to let you die! From today onwards, I will live for you! ”
In Ziyu's memory, the man in white was Fu Xuan, and the dead man in armor was Li Hong. They snuggled tightly, and Fu Xuan, who had always loved cleanliness, was covered in blood and mud but didn't know it. And Ziyu just looked at them from afar, and at that moment he understood that Fu Xuan would never be able to return to his side.
Since then, Fu Xuan has become Li Hong's soul, in order to keep his body from decaying, he has to constantly replace it with human flesh and bones, and the reason why he killed those women is because they have feelings for his Li Hong that they should not have, which he can't tolerate. Now he just needs to wait until that princess Fengyang marries into the mansion, he wants to let her taste all the pain, and then ruthlessly erase her forever! This damned soul that destroys them every life! Even if he dies with her, he will completely eradicate her!
Every time after Fu Xuan's murder, Ziyu would quietly appear, destroy the body for him, and then disguise the murder scene as something related to him. Even in order to hide people's eyes, he used the bones and blood of birds to paint and sent them to the deceased's home, he thought that even if he found it there one day, they would only suspect the painter Ziyu, not the general Li Hong.
In the end, the three of them returned to the room of the General's Mansion, and Fu Xuan had already cried silently. He knew that the matter would eventually be revealed, and he knew that he might lose his life for it, but he never thought that Ziyu would die for him. In fact, if he had stopped and looked back at the man who had been following him all the time, they wouldn't have come this far.
At the end of the matter, Fu Xuan gave up his plan and left the General's Mansion with Li Tianxin and the old madman. The moment he walked into the Falling Immortal Tower, he handed a scroll to the old madman, and disappeared into the nine-lock porch of the Falling Immortal Pagoda without looking back. That painting was a picture of spring dawn made by Ziyu, and I saw the small characters on it printed on the yellowed and broken paper. "Last year, today, the face of the peach blossom is far away. Willing to be a double bird, flying with wings. Danqing swore that he would never forget each other. ”
