"I've seen all kinds of wind and waves, so you don't have to worry about it." As he spoke, he slowly leaned towards Rongquan, "Even if the boat is scuttled, I can hold out until the big ship of Qingzheng Hall comes." ”

Bai Jin got off the horse: "The young hall master and the Rong Protector are naturally not afraid of wind and waves, what about Master Xia?" ”

"Yes, if there is a lot of wind and waves, Master Xia should not go to Boyu Island, or go back with me. We have warm winters and cool summers, flowers bloom in all seasons, and we are very comfortable. Blackbeard glanced at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man realized and took a few steps in the direction of Xia Yuanshan.

"Stop." Bai Jin's voice was not loud, but it was full of intimidation.

The middle-aged man really didn't dare to move, shrugged at Blackbeard, and spread his hands.

The six people present belonged to four camps, each of whom had their own Xiao Jiujiu, and no one trusted anyone. They were on guard, in a stalemate, and for a moment no one spoke.

The sun had set, and it was getting dark so quickly that in a few moments everything in the courtyard became a blur. The air was almost frozen, and everyone was engrossed, and they didn't dare to take a breath of the atmosphere, for fear that if they missed the eye, they would be in a different place.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, breaking the dead silence of the scene.

Mu Qing found that a wounded man's hand was on fire, the fire was not big, but it jumped and quickly burned all over his body.

The group of people brought by Blackbeard suddenly became a mess, some looking for water, some slapping, but no matter what method was used, the flames had no intention of extinguishing at all.

Then the fire began to spread, to one person after another, to the fence, to the firewood piled up in the corner, to the house.

Soon, the whole courtyard was lit up by the fire, and the screams were heard one after another.

Mu Qing was stunned, and watched as if she had fallen into a hell.

Xia Yuanshan was calm, and after a quick glance, he rushed to the edge of the fence, pulled up a certain wooden stake vigorously, and flashed into the forest next to him.

"What's going on? Where are you taking me? Mu Qing was so flustered that she couldn't do it.

Xia Yuanshan didn't answer, and went straight to the depths of the forest.

"Help! Help me! Mu Qing was so frightened that she couldn't help but shout for help.

"Shut up!" Xia Yuanshan pinched her neck hard.

Mu Qing's mouth was wide open, and she suddenly lost her voice.

Xia Yuanshan stopped talking, ran not far in the forest, came to a big tree, tore off the bark, and revealed the hole that was more than a person high behind him.

He went in, covered the bark again, took the small lantern hanging beside him, and went all the way down.

Mu Qing was angry, hateful and anxious, really hoping that a thunder could fall from the sky and kill Xia Yuanshan on the spot.

"The one who can control the thunder didn't come, and the thunder can't be here." Xia Yuanshan knew what she was thinking.

Mu Qing rolled her eyes and turned her gaze away.

"Blackbeard is the person of the King of the South, and Bai Jin is the daughter of the King of the North, they have always been at odds with the North and the South, no matter who gets you, you will not end well." Xia Yuanshan trotted, "Don't shout, it's already underground here, no one can hear it." ”

After speaking, pinch it again on Mu Qing's neck.

"Go back, I'm going to find that Dharma protector." Mu Qing was able to speak again.

"Who are you? Where are the people? Xia Yuanshan only asked questions by himself.

Mu Qing glared at him: "I don't know." Aren't you amazing? Tell me. ”

Xia Yuanshan smiled: "According to this tone of speech, it should be warm." ”

Mu Qing didn't squeak, not understanding what he was talking about.

"How did you get to the doll? Who brought you out of the Throne Hall? Xia Yuanshan has never stopped, and it keeps going down.

"I don't know, I don't know." Mu Qing was helpless, "I was sleeping, I had a nightmare, and when I opened and closed my eyes, it became like this." ”

"I had a nightmare......" Xia Yuanshan groaned.

"Maybe it's still in a dream." Since she woke up, things have happened one after another, and Mu Qing is not allowed to think about it at all, but now in the depths of the earth, there are no many intrusions, and she suddenly seems to be enlightened.

"You dreamed of me?" Xia Yuanshan teased, "Am I so famous in your Xuyang?" ”

Mu Qing ignored it and muttered to comfort herself: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, the alarm clock will ring at seven o'clock, I will wake up, I will wake up." ”

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with dreams." Xia Yuanshan followed the conversation and said, "There are many things that I don't dare to think about in ordinary times, but they can be realized in my dreams." ”

Mu Qing still ignored it and kept talking to herself.

"In the dream, some people married princesses and became eunuchs, and some people gained fame and became big officials. Now that you've become a puppet made by me, don't you want to see what you can do? Xia Yuanshan's tone was filled with endless temptation.

"No!" Mu Qing refused, "You either take me back to find that Dharma protector, or don't do anything and wait for me to wake up." ”

"Why do you want to go back to Rongquan?" Xia Yuanshan slowed down, "You can already speak, as long as you promise me, my soul and soul are yours, and you can move freely." ”

Why, Mu Qing couldn't answer, but subconsciously felt that it should be someone who could help her.

"Rongquan can't help you, and Qingzhengtang can't help you." And for Mu Qing's every thought, Xia Yuanshan was clear, "Don't forget, the puppet has been locked by them for hundreds of years. ”

"Didn't they say they would protect the innocent?" Mu Qing still remembered what Xia Yuanshan said.

Xia Yuanshan let out an "um" and finally stopped: "They don't know you, how do they know if you are innocent?" ”

Mu Qing was asked.

Xia Yuanshan sat down cross-legged, put the lantern beside him, and continued: "This doll is a terrible treasure, not to mention the three demon kings of the west, south and north of Yuexinzhou, even in Shaodezhou, there are many people who want to steal and rob, now that you are inside, you can't tell who you are and where you come from, do you think that someone will think that you are innocent?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Mu Qing's uneasiness and helplessness were even worse than before.

"Qingzheng Tang is about protecting the innocent, but they also punish criminals. The puppet is placed in a place where it is difficult for even a fly to fly into, and if you go in, will you still be innocent? Xia Yuanshan said again.

Mu Qing was about to cry: "Then what should I do?" ”

Xia Yuanshan shrugged: "Anyway, you're still in a dream, it's good to wake up." Let's just sit and wait for your alarm clock to go off. ”

Mu Qing let out a long breath, looked at the dark and narrow cave, and had mixed feelings in her heart, thinking of the chant she heard at the beginning, thinking of the scorching heat, thinking of the sweet courage and her death, thinking of everyone who followed, and completely unfamiliar names and scenes, all of which clearly showed that the nightmare was nothing more than her self-paralysis.

"Take me to Qingzheng Hall, I can explain clearly." Still, she trusts her feelings.

Xia Yuanshan didn't make a sound, put Mu Qing not far from the lantern, and stood up, left a little, turned around, and took off his shirt

In the dim light, Mu Qing saw that his back was covered with dark red scars, a finger wide and dense, spreading from his neck to the waist down.

"One hundred, ten Jiazi are abolished, and they are exiled to Yuxinzhou." Xia Yuanshan said quietly, "I just bought a child." ”

"But bought a child?" Mu Qing was surprised by his understatement, "The child is lost, how desperate should the child's parents be, you can't do it?" ”

Xia Yuanshan got dressed: "The child's mother died of illness, and the father was a gambler who sold the child to a brothel, and I bought it from the old bustard." ”

"That'...... You've been sentenced, what about the kids? "This, Mu Qing didn't expect.

Xia Yuanshan didn't answer, and said to himself: "When I arrived at Qingzheng Hall, the first thing I did was to forcibly pull you out, and then, if I didn't ask you how you got there, they wouldn't stop." ”

"I really don't know." Mu Qing's mind was in chaos.

"They have a lot of ways to make you hate yourself for knowing too little." Xia Yuanshan sat down again, "However, then again, if you want to go, it's not a bad thing for me, I have already been sentenced, they won't do anything to me, I am under house arrest in Qingzhengtang, and I don't have to worry about three meals, it is better than being in this deep mountain and old forest." ”

"Wait, wait." Mu Qing's heart was pounding, and her temples were throbbing.

"I really didn't want to save you at first, I wanted to know how you got in, I wanted you to help me recover my cultivation. But now that I believe it, you really don't know anything. Xia Yuanshan glanced overhead, intentionally or unintentionally.
