31 Phoenix I
The phoenix blossoms, the scorching jacarandas, bright red as fire, poignant and magnificent.
Qing Ruyun once mentioned this repeated dream to her parents, and she also asked: "Daddy and Mom, is there really such a place in the world?" And who is that teenager? ”
Often, the only response you get is "It's impossible, there is no such person, it's just a fantasy in your dreams".
Gradually, even if she dreamed of the same situation again, Qing Ruyun stopped mentioning it.
Two years ago, when she woke up from a serious illness, she vaguely remembered some things, and she also vaguely forgot many things. So, she asked her mother to tell her about her childhood, and asked her mother: "Mother, why don't I follow my father's surname Yun?" ”
Mrs. Yun smiled and scratched the tip of her nose and said, "It's easy for you to have such a big illness." Your master said that after this calamity, the name of the past can no longer be used. So your father didn't ask you what you meant, so he changed the name for you. Do you like it or not? ”
Qing Ruyun smiled brightly and said, "I like it, I like it." Mother, what did I call before? ”
Mrs. Yun said: "Since it is in the past, don't mention it again in the future, okay?" ”
Qing Ruyun nodded, and really never mentioned it again.
It's just such a beautiful flower shadow, she will never forget.
Qing Ruyun raised her hand again, she couldn't read the words in the script, and her mind was surging with Lin Zhiqi's words last night, what if she had really been to Phoenix Flower City? The scene in her dream may have really happened, could that young man be Xiahou Wuyu?
Even if, in her dream, she is not Yun Muqing.
She closed her eyes and blindfolded them with a tulle. When she feels scared or uneasy, she often uses this method to calm herself.
Although she was fed up with the darkness, she was also used to the darkness. It's as if, only when you close your eyes, the heartbeat is real.
One night the snow was raging, and the silver flowers fell all over the ground, and the next day the sun came out, and the light sunlight reflected on the snow, bringing a cold and warm atmosphere.
"I know!"
Qing Ruyun suddenly tore off the light veil covering her eyes, looked up to the sky and smiled, looking excited.
Xiahou Wuyu's writing wrist trembled, and a few drops of thick ink fell on the rice paper with a click, quickly seeping out, turning into a clump of winter plums.
He was a little surprised, and he didn't know what new things Qing Ruyun had found.
Qing Ruyun threw away the script, jumped off the soft pu, and quickly rushed to Xiahou Wuyu's side, and said: "I know, I was poisoned and lost at sea that day, and the drugs on the Xishan Trail later were all the same poison!" ”
Xiahou Wuyu was puzzled: "But one is a lethal poison, and the other is just a slightly inferior drug, how can the two be linked?" ”
Qing Ruyun sneered and said: "There is a kind of flower, its fruit is highly poisonous in medicine, its stamen is a very important medicine for the Seven Herbs Ning Xiang Pill, and its petals are made into powder to make spices, which has the use of causing dizziness." This kind of flower, which is often found in the south and extremely rare in the north, may not be able to survive in the north of the river at all, but you should have seen it. ”
Xiahou was stunned: "I've seen it?" But I've never been to Jiangnan, how can I see it? ”
Qing Ruyun said: "Jiangnan is not the only one in the south, haven't you been to Kunlun, haven't you been to a city full of phoenix flowers?" ”
"Ah......h
Xiahou Wuyu's heart tightened, and in an instant, there was a guess in his mind, but he couldn't confirm it. He has never sought to understand pharmacology, and only listened to some of what Lu Jingyu had said, and often forgot what he had heard, with little interest or talent.
"It's a phoenix, you must have seen it, right?"
Qing Ruyun propped her hands on the bookcase, tilted her head, smiled, and looked at Xiahou's innocent eyes.
She turned around with understanding, hugged her elbow in front of her chest, gently tapped her chin with her left hand, Nunu's mouth, and then analyzed: "All this is right, Nian Yi has been to Kunlun with you, it is not difficult to get the phoenix flower, plus he has studied pharmacology with Lu Zhangmen, although he is not as proficient as Lu Gongzi, but he should be a diligent character in everything, naturally not like you, I don't understand, it doesn't make sense." But ......"
She thought of someone.
It's just that she can't think of a reason why this person would poison herself, and she can't think of why Xu Qianyun, Yu Chengzhan and Yu Wuze were also poisoned two years ago.
The fruit of the phoenix flower is not all highly toxic, first of all, it must be the phoenix flower that grows in the sunlight of the snow-capped mountains, in addition, the fruit must also be ripe and unripe with blue-brown blunt feather markings, take its seed coat as a guide, in order to exert toxicity.
There are probably not many people in the world who know about this place.
And there is only one person who deeply understands its toxicity, knows how to use it for his own use, has been to Phoenix City, and is deeply involved in Nanrong martial arts, Qing Ruyun knows.
The only daughter of Zhao Qingping, the son of the Nanrong Zhao family, is also the cousin and niece of Lin Yiyu, the suzerain of the Jade Void League.
Five years ago, Zhao Sijiang abandoned the city and fled, and the whole country was furious.
The lord of Nanrong ordered the Zhao family to be deprived of the hereditary title, and all the Zhao Sijiang family were imprisoned, and they were beheaded after the autumn. At that time, Zhao Qingping's wife Lin was pregnant for nine months, and the husband and wife planned to entrust the sixteen-year-old orphan daughter Zhao Qingyi to her father-in-law and avoid the Western Regions.
Lin's father, Lin Anjie, is the son of Nanrong Guozi who supervises the sacrificial wine, peach and plum in the world, is admired, and it is not difficult to protect a young girl.
However, on the other hand, Zhao Qingping and his wife were chased and killed all the way on their way to the west, and at that time, the imperial court offered a reward of 10,000 gold to arrest him and his wife, and there were people in the underworld and the white road.
Later, at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, a moonlit night with a high wind, they were surrounded by hundreds of people, Zhao Qingping was known to have night blindness, difficult to fight, and the Lin family was about to give birth, and he was about to die here, in the middle of it, a heavy cloud covered the moon, the moonlight suddenly dimmed, Zhao Qingping only felt a pair of hands to push him back, and then, he lost consciousness.
When Zhao Qingping woke up, he realized that he had fallen under a cliff, and his wife was nowhere to be seen.
In the cliff valley, there is no way to go left and right, and there is only to climb up with bare hands.
By the time he had returned to the place where he had been besieged the night before, he had only been left with a large pool of blood on the ground, and his wife, who had no voice, curled up and defying the unborn child in her arms.
Later, according to the rumors of the mountain people near Zhongnan Mountain, after Zhao Qingping buried his wife, he turned white overnight, and since then he has disappeared into the mountain.
That's for later.
Lin Anjiesu and Zhao Qingping's father Zhao Sijiang are not on good terms, although they are sons and daughters, they rarely have contacts, and even the court and court refer to each other, which is a common thing.
Therefore, after Lin Qingyi changed her surname, the lord of Nanrong did not embarrass her anymore, and she was able to grow up steadily in Yejing, the capital of Nanrong, under the blessing of her grandfather.
The reason why Qing Ruyun knew Lin Qingyi was because the two of them worshiped together under the door of the Old Man Dumu, the master of the Five Tai Swords.
However, although the two are sisters and sisters, they have only met once.
Qing Ruyun thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "How can I say that I am also her junior sister, why do you want to poison me?" It must be that I am wrong, it must be, there must be someone else behind the scenes. ”
She raised her head, but saw that Xiahou Wuyu had already looked at her with blazing eyes for a while, she was stunned, and said, "I, did I say something wrong?" Did you say anything? ”
