Chapter 72 One is missing, and Jinling meets by chance
Seeing her like this, Ling Shan and Jiang Xiren walked over puzzled, looked carefully for a moment, and were immediately surprised, only to see that these corpses seemed to be normal, but if they looked closely, they could find that one was missing, they clearly remembered that when they first found it, it was ten corpses, but when did they start to lose one? Is that person not dead? Or was it dragged away by someone?
Qing Yan stood in place and pondered, after coming here, she didn't deliberately check how many corpses there were, if it weren't for seeing Ling Shan kick just now, which made her involuntarily silently count, I am afraid that it would be difficult to find that it was nine, not ten in their mouths; She believed that what they said must be true, but there was one missing here, and it could only be said that someone had not died before.
"Uncle, when you found this place, you saw every corpse?"
"No, after Chen Dong and I found out, we only looked at the four corpses, and saw that they were all sealed with a sword, so we didn't take a closer look, originally we planned to bury them directly on the spot, but I thought that this is the mountain behind the academy, in case someone finds out, I'm afraid it's not good, so I waited for you to come to discuss."
"I see, Ling Shanβ"
"Miss, there's blood here!" She was about to tell her to look around when she heard her shout.
The two walked over at the same time, found a few drops of blood on the ground, but no footprints, looked around, found that every other distance, there was a snow mark on the bamboo, correspondingly, there would be a few drops of blood on the ground, the three chased a few places, and found that this road is not leading to the bottom of the mountain, but on the mountain, Nanzhu Mountain and Jinling Mountain seem to have a long distance, but as long as you are in the mountains, you will find that the two mountains are connected in the depths. Jinling Mountain is higher than Nanzhu, so if you want to go to Jinling, you only need to go all the way up.
"Looks like I'm going to Jinling Temple."
She muttered, turned around and walked back, took the fire fold in Ling Shan's hand, and threw it at the corpse, a fire ignited, and a faint smoke slowly rose into the air, she left without looking back, and the moment she entered the academy, her smile was like a flower, where was the ruthlessness when she burned the corpse before.
Dusk is coming, the academy is boiling, as if the students here do not feel the cold of winter at all, the bonfire is lit at the beginning of the night, there are three whole sheep on it, Chen's mother is happily busy, the women are holding wine jugs and drinking happily, completely abandoning their respective identities, letting go of all their defenses, just for a rare indulgence in their lives.
"I didn't expect you women to play crazy like crazy, and you're not much worse than men." Jiang Xiren stood in Mr. Pingzhi's Nanzhu courtyard and listened to the laughter and drinks outside, and said in surprise.
"Of course, once a woman is independent, she can hold up half the sky, and crazy things are naturally a piece of cake."
"If anyone had said this before I knew you, I would not have believed it." Chen Dong walked over, thinking back to knowing her so far, he always felt like a dream, a little girl, but she has done so many big things, how can people not be surprised? Don't admire?
Qingyan smiled lightly, thinking back to that life, she was not stupid, Dan Fan wanted to learn at a glance, Dan Fan wanted to study someone's mind, no need to work hard, and could guess what the other party wanted to do, but in that life lived in a greenhouse, I felt that the world was peaceful, and there was a clear distinction between good people and bad people in the world, and even labels would be attached to their foreheads, and it was really a waste of such a good talent to think about it at this time.
"Speaking of which, you've already missed two township exams, do you have to wait any longer this year?"
"Don't wait, the first two times my husband said that it was difficult for us to get good results in the township examination, and now I have been allowed to participate in the two at the same time." Jiang Xiren shook his head, thinking about the study here in the past two years, as if he had learned it all over again, because he still boasted of being a talented man before, and when he saw his husband, he realized that it was just an introduction.
"Huh! Then you're miserable! She smiled confidently.
"Oh? Why is that? The two looked at each other and looked at her suspiciously.
"My father will definitely participate in this township test, and with him, you may not be able to achieve any good results."
"Brother-in-law, you say? How can it be? He has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, otherwise he would not have been reluctant to participate in the imperial examination. β
"Uncle is right, but this time my father will definitely participate!"
She nodded, shook her head again, and then stopped talking to the two, her eyes fell on the shadows, only to see Qingping quietly walked out, standing respectfully in front of her, followed by Ling Shan, who was extremely ugly and angry.
"Sent back?" She glanced at the two helplessly, and finally chose to ignore it, in the past two years, she can understand that these two people are simply incompatible, even if they are at the moment of life and death, they rely on each other, but they will not give each other a good face, this strange way of getting along really makes her speechless, they all say that she is smart and can be called a prodigy, but she can't figure out the relationship between the two.
"Yes! The fifth lady, the seventh lady, and the fifth young master were all sent back to the house safely, and they also told the fourth lady and the fourth master that the young lady was going to receive the teacher's teaching here today, and that Mr. Scattered wanted to guide the young lady's embroidery, so they would spend the night here. Qingping said very calmly, but everyone heard the banter in his tone.
"Sister, he's bullying you again?" Ling Yi, Ling Wu, and Ling Feng appeared at the same time, looking at him with unkind expressions.
"It's none of your business!" Ling Shan gritted her teeth and said, turning around angrily to leave.
"Wait!" Qingyan hurriedly called, then glared at Qingping, and then looked at Jiang Xiren.
"Uncle, I want to explore Jinling Temple at night, can you lend Ling Yi and Ling Wu to me?"
"What's wrong with that? Uncle, I will also go with you, now the situation of Jinling Temple is unknown, you go alone, I don't worry. β
"No, you are still needed to guard here, in case it is involved here, with you, I can have no worries."
"But"
"Later, I will take the others to Chen Dong's home in Qingzhou City, this will be an empty house, let Xiren go with you, so that the old man can rest assured." Yang Pingzhi walked out of the house, twisting his beard and talking worriedly.
"Sirββ?" She was surprised, in her memory, her husband was reluctant to go to crowded places, Qingzhou is a prosperous city, even at night it is extremely lively.
"Go ahead! As a teacher, I know that although you are a woman, you have the world in mind, the prince is virtuous, and you are worthy of your assistance, but you must remember to be measured, you are only a woman after all. β
"Yes!" She nodded respectfully, everything she has done in the past two years has never been hidden from him, and many times she will tell him what she wants to do, and she will get a better answer here every time, otherwise Feng Ya Ge and Hehuan Lou have already exhausted their manpower and financial resources for the four princes, and now these two places have long been an empty shell, although they still look prosperous, but they have long been in deficit inside, and all this is thanks to the guidance of Mr.
And for more than two years, she has been communicating with the prince in letters according to her husband's reminders, and pointed out the small actions of the four princes in Beijing in her memory one by one, which made the prince and the four princes evenly matched, and also made the prince finally raise his heart and avoid assassination and poisoning in Beijing again and again.
As soon as the time passed, many carriages were ushered in at the gate of Yanyou Academy, and then the young ladies returned to the house, and then Chen Dong took Yang Pingzhi, Lingxing, Luo'er, Chen Mu, Chen Xinghua, Yi Han, Yi Xuan and others drove two carriages down the mountain and went straight to Qingzhou City.
Jinling Temple
Qingyan and Jiang Xiren quietly came to the Jinling Gate, and at this time, the temple was brightly lit and quiet as usual, but she smelled a hint of danger from it.
Then, with the help of Ling Shan, she and everyone jumped into it lightly, and the sound of wooden fish could still be heard on the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the shadows of the monks on the wall could be vaguely seen.
Bypassing the Daxiong Treasure Hall to the Yuan's Abbot's Dust Pavilion, the tall banyan tree in the courtyard is still standing, exuding a gloomy atmosphere in the snowy night, and the back of the edge is reflected in the window, as if it is playing meditation and does not move.
She and Jiang Xiren glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes, and they didn't see anyone since they entered the temple, and everywhere they went were shadows, and there was still the sound of wooden fish above the main hall, but it was extremely quiet here.
Kengββ
Just when a few people wanted to enter one of them to find out, they heard the sound of a fight in Merlin, and everyone was surprised, and then she looked at Yuan again, and found that the other party did not make any moves, which was completely inconsistent with the other party's superb martial arts, so her eyes narrowed slightly, and let Jiang Xiren take Ling Yi, Ling Wu, and Ling Feng into it, and she ran to Merlin with Ling Shan and Qingping.
Among the Merlin, Chang Tianyou is going back and forth with Jie, not giving in to each other, killing everywhere, but both of them were injured in a moment.
"You're not dead!" Chang Tianyou looked at the monk in front of him, when he was assassinated in Nanzhu Mountain during the day, there was a masked young man with a turban, after a battle to the death, he finally killed everyone, but when he stabbed him in the throat, he always felt that something was wrong, and he checked it afterwards, and found nothing wrong, and he also pretended to leave for temptation, and there was nothing abnormal, so he left, but he was uncomfortable in his heart, so he stayed.
However, what he didn't expect was that he wanted to take advantage of this snowy night when no one was there to pay tribute to his parents, but he met a killer who was supposed to die here, and the other party was actually a monk here, which made him extremely angry.
"Cut! Isn't it great to seal your throat with a sword? Bring a fake one, and then use the turtle breath gong, isn't it? He didn't care about it, thinking that if it wasn't for the sake of penetrating his sword and sealing his throat and reporting to his master, he wouldn't care about life and death.
"Really? Then you can try to see if you can survive with a turtle shell! He raised his sword and stabbed him in the throat.
The latter narrowly avoided it, looking at him in shock, thinking that with his perception of martial arts, he had penetrated all the moves and techniques of his sword to seal his throat, but now it seems that he has not even comprehended the skin, how to explain to the master? If you let the master know that his only strength is useless, and only death awaits him, thinking of this, he rushed desperately, even if he knows that he is invincible, he has to fight, and it is more glorious to die in battle than to be punished to death by the master, isn't it?
Qingyan hid in the dark, looked at Chang Tianyou's figure, and sighed helplessly: Why is it him again? Every time we meet, when there is such tension, there is no time for him to be quiet?
Boom β
A loud noise came, and the Dust Pavilion suddenly burst into flames, illuminating every corner of Jinling Temple, her heart was shocked, and she turned around and ran back with Qingping and Ling Shan: Uncle is still there.
