Chapter Forty-Nine: The Angry Beauty Butterfly
Miss Liu looked helpless, "It's just a live butterfly left in my body, and the red light you saw that night is what it emitted." If that's the case, do you think I'm a demon? β
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Jian Xiu's expression was not panicked by her words, but it was just a little incredible.
"How can butterflies stay in their bodies, I've never heard of anything like this, memorably, can you tell me what's going on?"
The corners of Miss Liu's mouth moved slightly, he was not afraid, but he still investigated the reason. Her face froze, how to talk to him.
"That's it...... Suddenly, one day a butterfly flew into my body, and it was in my body. β
Jian Xiu's face did not change, and he still looked at her clearly.
Miss Liu knew he didn't believe it.
"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, but that's the way it is."
"Even if so, why do butterflies have so much power?"
Jian Xiu remembered that night of the blood moon, the power she showed was beyond anyone's reach.
"Because it's a butterfly." Miss Liu said word by word.
Beauty butterfly?
"What is a beauty butterfly?" Jian Xiu hadn't heard of it.
Miss Liu lifted her hair again, "See its appearance, look at its wings." β
Jian Xiu lowered her head and approached her face, looking at it carefully, and sure enough, the pattern on one side of the butterfly's wings was a woman's head. His eyebrows furrowed, he had never seen such a butterfly before.
"The Beauty Butterfly ...... of the Soul of the Soul"
Miss Liu said this coldly.
"As long as it appears, there will be death."
Jian Xiu was really stunned this time, stunned and didn't believe it at all, but the facts made him believe that if it wasn't for the fact that this butterfly was really so magical, how could it be like this on the night of the blood moon.
He was silent and stared at her for a long time before he said slowly, "So...... Is it controlling your consciousness? β
Miss Liu took a deep breath and looked into the distance, "A little." β
Jian Xiu clasped his hands in front of his chest, as if he was meditating, and only said again after half a sound, "Is there any way to get it out of your body?" β
Miss Liu looked back, frowned slightly, and said coldly, "Not now, it can't leave my body yet." β
"Why?" Jian Xiu didn't understand.
"If it doesn't work now, it won't work." Miss Liu said coldly, took the horse rope, and continued to walk forward.
She didn't want to say it, but Jian Xiu didn't ask any more. He chased after her, just trying to tell her that he was worried about her.
After a period of silence, the big tree in front of the village suddenly appeared in front of him. Back then, Luo Yan led the brothers out of the village under that tree and fought to the death.
Miss Liu didn't move again, pretending to be casual and enjoying the scenery here.
"Bleak village." She said indifferently, she was talking to herself.
Jian Xiu's dark eyes were so cold that there was no trace of temperature, and he glanced at the mountain village in front of him.
"There was a war here back then, that's why it's so bleak."
Miss Liu was stunned and looked sideways at him, "You know too?" β
Jian Xiu said indifferently, "How could I not know about the suppression of Yaomin that time." β
Seeing that Ji'er had been staring at him, he paused, and said again, "At that time, there were many Yao people in this Takishui County, and they had their own opinions, and they did not obey the imperial court policies, which often caused turmoil, and this local official could not govern it, and the confrontation between local officials evolved over the years, so the county order of that year was excerpted to Beijing, the emperor was young, and his father was the first assistant of the cabinet. The Empress Dowager had no choice but to issue an order for the Governor of Liangguang to suppress the troubled White Lotus cultists. β
He took a light breath, "And I am the one who went south to preach this holy decree. β
Jian Xiu didn't notice that Miss Liu's face had already changed suddenly when he said these words, and a trace of coldness was in her eyes.
"Just convicted those villagers in this way, is the court really finding out that this is the case! Even if there are really so many people who disobey the control of the imperial court, the imperial court does not care about the lives of the people and kills them at will, and the current emperor is really mediocre! β
Jian Xiu was stunned, he didn't expect Miss Liu's reaction to be so big.
"Memory, you ......"
"Don't call me." Miss Liu looked at him coldly, and regarded him as an enemy in a trance, "Xiangye is also unreasonable, he is the first assistant of the cabinet, the emperor is young, and he was not in charge of all the major affairs of the court back then, but did he really take everything seriously." Even if the Queen Mother made the final decision, as Xiangguo, he should think about it for the people, so that the army can attack, and the villagers still have a way to live! β
"And you-" Miss Liu approached his chest, her eyes cold and fierce, making Jian Xiu not recognize her in a trance.
"You can't get out of it, you are like an executioner, you are the one who sent the holy decree, it is you, who let those villagers die in vain."
Every time she said a word and pushed forward, Jian Xiu was so stunned that her body stiffened and was forced to retreat by her.
He was as if he had lost his soul, unable to say a word, his brows were tightly locked, and his dark eyes looked blankly at the woman overflowing with tears.
The wind suddenly swept up, like the strong wind of the past, blowing up the weeds around it, shaking the branches and breaking the flowers.
The sky was suddenly overcast, dark clouds rose, and a bolt of lightning slashed down, steadily stirring on the branches not far away, and the branches broke off suddenly.
Miss Liu's eyes suddenly turned red, her face stiffened, and she stared at Jian Xiu angrily, as if she wanted to eat him alive.
He took a step back tremblingly. His mind suddenly remembered her fury on the night of the Blood Moon, and was she ...... at this time
Before she could break out, he hurried over, took her into his arms, and called her name with his affectionate emotion, "Yi'er, wake up, Yi'er, don't do this...... It can't be like this...... It was me who was wrong. β
Her body was too hot, and he felt it.
The stiff body in his arms overwhelmed him, he let go of her, looked at her red eyes, in a hurry, he suddenly kissed her, wanting to use his tenderness to touch her and calm her mind.
The wind was still blowing, blowing their clothes, messing with their hair, and cooling their bodies.
His kiss didn't stop, he hugged her and kissed all the time, even if she didn't respond, he still stiffened, but he still didn't let go.
Slowly, as if she sensed it, the red of her eyes was degrading, and the collapse of her emotions made her eyes faint.
She fainted in his arms, and he breathed a sigh of relief, sat down among the grass and wild flowers, let her lean on his arms, and just watched the world silently, waiting for her to wake up.
The rain did not fall, and the sky gradually cleared, as if the thunder and lightning just now were just an illusion.
In her arms, her body temperature gradually returned to normal, and everything returned to normal. It's as if everything just now was just a fantasy and didn't happen.
But Jian Xiu understands that all this is real and personal. The woman in her arms can really lead the wind and thunder, and even has a powerful energy that others can't compete with.
Is all this really brought about by that beautiful butterfly?
The hours passed slowly, and at last she awoke, straightened up from his arms, and stared at him like a blank tree.
She didn't say anything, even if he pursed his lips and smiled at him, she didn't say anything, she stood up with no expression on her face, and she didn't hear him whisper her name behind her, she just cared about her going by herself, towards the horse.
"Memoryβ" He caught up with her in a few steps, grabbing her wrist.
"Go away." She shook her hand and took him by the hand, and shook it off indifferently.
He was stunned and stunned, dazed like a lost child at a loss.
She glared at him viciously and said coldly, "Let me be quiet, is it okay?" β
He didn't move anymore, watching her mount her horse and gallop away, disappearing from his sight.
He was incomprehensibly silent, silent for a long time before looking back at the bleak mountain village. He wondered why she was so responsive to this, why?
She hadn't come to the massacre here back then, she had only come to this land after that, but why did she care so much about this mountain village.
He understood that it was her kindness, and it must have been heard that it had been exterminated, so that she had pity, sadness and sadness for those people.
But he wasn't necessarily like that.
Back then, why didn't he want to be this herald, and why didn't he want to read the will in front of Ling Yunyi. But the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, how can he go against the holy will.
That day, he galloped over, wanting to make the last stop, wanting Ling Yunyi to let those people go, but what could he do, he couldn't save it.
He remembered that there was a young girl who killed herself with a knife in front of him, and he wanted to save her, but he still let her die.
On that day, the sky was tragic, and it was difficult for everyone to understand, and the girl's body suddenly disappeared.
He remembered it clearly, and Ling Yunyi also remembered it clearly.
Everyone was frightened, and Ling Yunyi was also frightened, and then ordered that no longer kill people when they saw them, but to arrest the villagers alive, put them in prison, interrogate them without doubt, and then release some villagers.
On that day, he remembered that he stood for a long time at the place where the girl had fallen, looking at the pool of blood.
It was a grief he had never felt before.
He didn't know how he returned to the Liufu mansion, and he was in a trance.
He came to his senses when Yun Xiu called him.
"You're back?" He asked.
"Well, as soon as Ji'er returned home, she said that she was tired and wanted to rest for a while, and she was in her bedroom at this time." Yun Xiu looked at him in a daze, and always felt that something must have happened when the two of them went out together.
"Okay." Jian Xiu just said a word, and walked towards his room with a blank expression.
Yun Xiu was in the courtyard, with some questions buried in his heart, but he was reluctant to ask for answers.
