158: Shen Ru's answer
(Cat flutter Chinese)
"This girl, I really don't know what you're asking......" Before the woman could finish speaking, Nan Zhao suddenly grabbed her hand excitedly and asked
"Why is there a phantom fragrance on an ordinary actor, tell me?"
"What did you say?" The woman was visibly weak-hearted. Zhou Yuan asked on the side
"What is the phantom incense?"
"Phantom incense is a spice used by illusionists, and it can lead people into the realm that the caster wants him to enter!" As she said, the owner of the troupe, who was called Aunt He, was dyed with phantom incense, and this kind of incense was colorless and tasteless to ordinary people.
And the reason why Nan Zhao was able to find out was because in her sense of smell, the smell of phantom incense was very strong, and it was difficult to ignore it.
"Illusion?" Zhou Yuan was taken aback
"No wonder this Leguo opera troupe is full of guests at every show, which is endlessly evocative, not because of how wonderful their play is, but because they make this magic fragrance to the audience?"
"Everywhere I go, the Bliss Troupe is loved by the people, what proof do you have to prove that I use the magic incense?" The woman suddenly changed from an ordinary drama who was implicated for no reason, and she is a person who has been crawling on the rivers and lakes for several years, and she should have the appearance of an old man.
Nan Zhao didn't come here to investigate whether she used phantom incense, she decided that this Bliss class must be related to Shen Rugu, otherwise why did they act in a play that was Wen Ye's play in her previous life?
Where did that play come from? Why do you repeat this play every day? Is it to make the world spit on the spirit girl for being vicious?
Sing the praises of the love between Mei and Wen Ye?
"Evidence?" Nan Zhao shook off the other party's hand and walked quickly towards the miscellaneous items piled up in the background excitedly.
"I'll find you proof!" She rummaged through the miscellaneous objects in a chaotic manner, and at this moment, her mind was in a state of confusion, and for a moment she didn't even know what she was looking for, as if she wanted to vent all her unwillingness and resentment, she picked up all the objects she picked up and threw them away.
Some of the actors on the side were frightened by her crazy appearance, and some of them held the guy in their hands and surrounded her viciously.
Zhou Yuan also felt that Nan Zhao's experience was a bit excessive, so she stayed in front of her and persuaded in a low voice
"Nan Zhao, don't make trouble, what are you looking for?" She didn't listen at all, rushed to one of the dressers, lifted the rouge gouache stacked on it, and then lifted the costumes from the shelves next to her, and shouted out of her mouth
"Shen Rugu, you come out to see me! You're out! Only then did Zhou Yuan know that she was looking for Shen Ru.
But how can there be Shen Ru here? Immediately went over and grabbed her, begging with a bitter face
"My aunt, what are you crazy about? We came out this time, but we didn't bring any ......" While she was talking, in the afterglow, the five big and three rough men in the troupe had already surrounded her, and she felt that these people would be unfavorable to them, so she immediately put on a posture and said
"Don't mess around, I'm ......" originally wanted to report his identity, but he thought that he was sneaking out, not wanting to make a big deal out of it, and finally emphasized
"I'm a relative of Zhen Guogong!" Hearing her self-declared identity, these people all laughed mockingly,
"A relative of the Duke of Zhenguo? Lao Tzu is still the current emperor! "In the past, wherever she went, she didn't want to reveal her identity, and there were courteous people everywhere, but this was the first time she was ridiculed like this, and she was suffocated and angry!
"Bold! Dare to be disrespectful to the emperor, believe it or not, I cut your tongue? Others were not afraid of what she said, and they had already pounced on the two of them together, because Nan Zhao had broken the things of the troupe, and he was threatening to take down the two of them for compensation.
Zhou Yuan didn't bring a long weapon, she only had a short blade on her body, which was given to her by her ninth brother for self-defense, and last time she used this short blade to assassinate Nan Zhao, seeing so many people pounce on her at this time, she was so anxious that she jumped to her feet, and felt out the short blade in front of her, and others also saw that she was an embroidered pillow, so she easily grabbed her arm, and as soon as she used her strength, the short blade fell to the ground.
"Nanzhao save me!" Sensing danger, she shouted. Nan Zhao originally had his back to her, and he was still struggling with the sundries in those troupes, but when he heard such a shout, he finally turned around.
"Let her go!" She walked over briskly and grabbed the wrist of the man who was holding Zhou Kite's arm. The other party thought that she and the girl in front of her were half a pound and didn't take her seriously at all, but since she sent it up, someone else immediately came to grab her, and her hand just touched her shoulder from behind, and she struggled to lift it away and fell heavily to the ground.
"Grandma's-" They still didn't believe it, so many people, they couldn't get the two little girls, and they got up from the ground again, the sword in Nanzhao's hand was not unsheathed, and only the people who hit it with the scabbard came to knock one by one, come two, use both feet and hands, and all of them were injured by her to the ground.
In a few moments, seven or eight people were lying around her feet, wailing in pain. Seeing this, Zhou Yuan was surprised and delighted, her eyes were bulging, she picked up her short blade and held it in her hand, played a majestic role, stepped on one person under her feet, and said to Aunt He in the back
"See, this is my personal guard, who else is looking for him, I will satisfy him!" Her own person was thrown to the ground like this, Aunt He was naturally angry, but she restrained herself very well on her face, she sneered
"You said that you are a relative of Zhenguo Gong, I heard that Zhen Guogong is a person who understands righteousness and is fair and selfless, if you are really his relative, such a nameless smash, lawless, his old man is famous, it is estimated that you have been ruined!" Zhou Yuan is not a flamboyant person, and after being questioned like this, he also felt unreasonable, so he didn't speak again.
"I know you must know something, tell me and I'll just do it!" But Nan Zhao refused to give up, she reached out and dragged a chair next to her side, and sat down with dignity, but Zhou Yuan, who was standing next to her, was more like a maid next to the princess.
"Nanzhao!" Zhou Yuan knew that she was abandoned by Shen Ru and acted extremely recklessly in order to pursue the results, and her ninth brother was worried about this before, so she let Nan Zhao be strictly guarded, and it was she who helped to bring Nan Zhao out, and she didn't want to cause trouble and be scolded by the ninth brother, so she persuaded in a low voice
"You don't want to be like this, then Shen Rugu has already left, how can he have any connection with this troupe from Leguo?" Nan Zhao said convincingly
"He will never appear here for no reason, he must have said something to the people in this troupe, I smashed it like this, no one came out to speak, he must be trying to hide something!"
"Oops!" Zhou Yuan was about to cry,
"But it's all your conjecture, there's no evidence, what if you're wrong?" Wrong? Her eyes lost their former softness and agility, and she replied without waves like stagnant water
"Then let it go wrong......" Aunt He whispered something to the person next to her, turned around, and was not unmoved by her threatening words, she actually opened her mouth to persuade
"Girl, you came to me like this today to make trouble, not hesitating to hurt a few people, just to find this man named Shen Rugu, it can be seen that this person is the person that the girl loves, and now there is no trace of people, the girl may be too sad and radical, but girl, listen to my advice, since he leaves you, he must not love you, you are so crazy not to let him go, but to let go of yourself!" When Zhou Yuan heard this, she nodded straightly, because the other party said what she had always wanted to say.
That Shen Ru has already left, such a person, even if he is found again, what is the point, isn't it just to increase sadness?
Nan Zhao leaned on the back of the chair and replied with a cold face
"No matter what, I am also the wife of his marriage and Ming Media, I don't care who he was in his previous life, if he wants to leave in this life, he must say everything to me, even if he wants to leave, he will leave a letter of resignation!" The people present almost knew her story and whispered about it
"It turned out that the husband who tied her hair left him, tsk......"
"She's so fierce, it's me, and I'm going to hide from her!"
"That's it! That boy must have had enough of her to say goodbye! Nan Zhao, who had long regarded these harsh words as the wind in her ears, could no longer let herself listen to them calmly, she suddenly pulled out the long sword in her hand, pointed at those who were talking about her, and shouted murderously
"You are not him, how can you speak in his place?" Zhou Yuan was really afraid that she would kill someone on impulse, so she hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull her back, and the other party saw that she was being pulled by someone, so she had the courage to whisper back
"Fortunately, I am not him, otherwise I would have been hacked to death by you wicked woman!" When there was a lot of noise inside, a team of patrolling state soldiers walked in from outside the troupe.
The state soldiers belong to the militia, different from the regular army of the Yunzhou army, they are controlled by the state government, and are responsible for the security of the city on weekdays, the state soldiers of Yunzhou have 2,000 people, and the four cities in the southeast and northwest have a city guard division, and each division has 500 state soldiers, two directors and deputy directors, divided into ten squads, and each team is a captain.
This Bliss class can camp here, and it is not less beneficial to these city guards, so as soon as he heard that someone was making trouble, he immediately transferred three nearby teams, and Huang Youyong, the director of the Dongcheng Health Division, who led the team, was called Director Huang, who carried a big knife on his waist, strode in and asked
"Who is it? Whoever dares to make trouble in the area under the jurisdiction of this company, report it! The princess standing next to Nan Zhao saw that she had alarmed the state soldiers, and she couldn't get out of hiding her identity anymore, so she immediately threw out her name
"Zhou Kite!"
"Zhou Kite?" Huang Youyong stood opposite the two of them with a contemptuous attitude, holding the handle of the knife, and said in a demonstrative manner
"Surname Zhou? I'm quite familiar with a surname! The soldier behind him immediately stepped forward and added courteously
"Zhou is the surname of the country, and our Great Yan Imperial Family is the clan surnamed Zhou!" After Huang Youyong heard this, he pointed to Zhou Yuan and said
"Is it the same surname as Emperor Lao Tzu, and you little girl can mess around on my Director Huang's territory?" The dignified princess was despised again, and Zhou Yuan was angry, and also pointed at the other party
"Director Huang? You are a small city health director, that is, non-military and no official rank, but a logistics supervisor, you don't even have the qualifications to carry shoes with me, seeing that this princess does not kneel down to say goodbye, but shouts at this princess here, can you be guilty? ”
"Hahahaha-" When the other party heard her call herself a princess, not only was she not afraid, but she actually laughed and rolled back.
"Just you? Princess? When did we have a princess in Yunzhou, why haven't I heard of it? Zhou Yuan is Yunzhou who came from Suizhou Yang, and she doesn't walk around, I don't know if she is normal, she immediately took out a token from her sleeve, and said in front of the other party
"This is my father's Blue Dragon Order, do you know it?" Before they could see it clearly, she took it back,
"You can't recognize it, you are a miscellaneous supervisor, and it is rare to even see the waist card of the state lord once, how can you know my father's Qinglong Order?" Huang Youlong was shocked by her posture, he didn't believe it just now, but now he was half-convinced, for fear that it was really the princess who would be offended, so he immediately knelt down and asked for peace
"The little one didn't know that Her Royal Highness the princess had arrived, and the princess asked for forgiveness." The state soldiers behind him were also uncertain, and the boss knelt down, and they also knelt down to say goodbye.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan covered her mouth a little proudly and whispered to Nan Zhao
"How? I'm in a good position, right? That jade pendant is my peiyu, it's not a green dragon order at all, hahaha! Now that the situation has stabilized, Zhou Yuan directly pointed to a person in the crowd and ordered
"You! Get out of here! Aunt He walked out of the crowd slowly, and seemed to believe in her identity as a princess, and bowed without humility or arrogance.
Zhou Yuan asked her directly
"Did you hear what she asked you just now, do you know the whereabouts of that person named Shen Ruguo?" Aunt He replied
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the woman really doesn't know the whereabouts of that son, he is just an ordinary spectator of our troupe......"
"You're lying!" Nan Zhao's voice. The other party was dumbfounded for a moment, and then spoke again
"If you have to say a connection, it is that he does have a good appearance, he has been here a few times, and everyone in our troupe remembers him, but he only watches the play every time, and after watching it, he goes to the east, and there is a girl in our troupe who admires his face, and once seems to have quietly followed him, and found that he went to the Diwang Temple." She asked
"Why didn't you just say that? Just now? ”
"It's true that the folk woman has never crossed paths with him, who will keep this kind of thing in mind all the time? It's not that she's aggressive, but the women remember this! Nan Zhao barely listened to her finish speaking, he had already put his sword back into its sheath and strode out of the backstage.
Those people regarded her as a madman who could cut people at any time, and they were afraid to make a way for her.
Zhou Yuan in the back chased out and shouted
"Nanzhao! Nanzhao! Wait for me! Huang Youyong and the others were even more confused, so it's over?
Nan Zhao went out of the Bliss Opera Troupe, all the way to the east, looking for the temple of the king of the land. She had never been to the Diwang Temple, but she knew that there was a Diwang Temple in Yunzhou, which was dedicated to a land immortal, and it was said that this immortal was benevolent and loved the people and kept the people safe.
Therefore, many believers come here every year to worship, and they will also hang their wish cards on the wish stand in front of the Diwang Temple.
Many of the wish cards have a small bell tied to them, and so day after day, the wish cards are hung all over the wooden stands.
It was late at night, the Diwang Temple was empty, and the two stepped in, only the bell on the wish card shook out a crisp sound with the night wind.
Zhou Yuan saw so many wish cards for the first time, and was so surprised that he opened his mouth half-open, and while walking forward, he picked up a nearby sign and read the words on it
"May he be safe in another country, and believe in the girl Caiyun."
"In this life, I will tie the knot with you and live up to my original ......"
"I hope that my parents will be healthy and happy, and I will live a long life!"
"Wait for my gold list title, return to my hometown, and serve my hometown ......" on this wish card, all belong to the expectations of others, every word is full of kindness, and even Zhou Yuan, who is in the royal family, seems to feel the peace and happiness of ordinary people, which is the most true thing in the world.
Nan Zhao didn't care about these signs, she looked at the statue of the earth lord in front of her, and said softly
"This is where he comes every day after watching the play!" After saying that, she walked towards the idol, knelt down on her knees, bowed three times, and said reverently
"The lord of the earth is above, and the spirit girl Nanzhao asks to see him!" Zhou Yuan was attracted by the wishes on the wish card, and when he heard this sentence coming from behind him, he was not scared to death!
"You...... You...... Do you want to see the lord of the earth? Nan Zhao didn't turn around, he still knelt there, his hands folded in front of his chest, and his eyes looked at the idol in front of him.
"The lord of the earth is above, and the spirit girl Nanzhao asks to see him!" Nothing changed except for the slight sound of wind chimes.
Nan Zhao refused to give up, she stood up and spread out her palms, the spirit flower in her hand had lost its color after the big injury, but the two bodies gradually recovered, and the red aura had gradually restained.
She walked over to the idol, put her palm on the idol, and prayed again
"The lord of the earth is above, and the spirit girl Nanzhao asks to see the spirit body appear!"
"Ouch!" A little white-bearded old man jumped out of the idol, as if he had been pricked by her spiritual flower, deliberately avoiding her spiritual light
"I said girl, believers from all over the world come during the day, the old man is so old, he has to listen to all kinds of wrongs they promise every day, his ears are almost deaf, and he is so tired that his spiritual bones are about to disperse, you are still noisy in the middle of the night and are not allowed to sleep, this temple of the king of the earth is for you to sit on, I think you are more capable than me!" Nan Zhao knew that he was an immortal supported by the people, and said respectfully
"It's really not right to disturb the rest of the earth king, but I have an obsession, and the earth king may be able to answer for me!" The lord of the earth seemed to know her intentions and asked her directly
"The truth is already in front of you, if you don't let go of this obsession, what will happen to the result?" She buried her head slightly, and said with a gloomy look in her eyes
"I don't know how, but if I don't ask for that result, I won't let go for the rest of my life!"
"Hey!" The lord of the earth has seen the joys and sorrows of many people in this world, and in the face of her obsession, he still sighed, and then waved his robe
"That's it, since you must see the result, go and see for yourself!" He had jumped back into his idol!
Nan Zhao heard a different voice on the side of the god frame behind him, and immediately turned around to look for it, and saw a brand-new wishing card falling to the ground.
Zhou Yuan was still curious about something, and asked after her
"Did the Lord of the Earth really appear just now? What does he look like and how tall is he? How fat? She didn't answer, but quickly went over, picked up the wishing card, held it in her hand, and when she read the eight words written in the familiar note on it, she was stunned.
Zhou Yuan saw her staring at a wishing tablet in a daze, and immediately pasted it, and read out the words on it while reading.
"Reunite with Ye and never give up." Reunite with Ye and never give up...... Nan Zhao pinched the wishing card in his hand, and the bell tied to it rang softly as the strength deepened.
A figure appeared on the street corner opposite the Diwang Temple, because the sky was too dark, Zhou Yuan didn't notice it, but Nan Zhao felt a familiar aura nearby, she immediately turned around and looked, and saw the man in a white robe, standing in the shadow under the eaves.
The other party also seemed to know that she saw it, and turned around to leave, but Nan Zhao immediately chased after her. She ran behind, but the man was just walking briskly, she could barely catch up, and she shouted at the familiar figure as he grew farther and farther away in the deserted alley
"Shen Ruguo!" Hearing her voice, the man stopped at his feet and stood with his back to her under a flowering hibiscus tree.
His white garment was spotless, and with the green silk scattered on his back, it fluttered with the night wind. She walked forward, toward the man, every step as if she were stepping on the ice, lest her feet be empty......
"Nanzhao." He also called her name, not like every time he called her, this voice was full of goodbye coldness.
Nan Zhao stopped when she heard this, stopped ten steps away from him, and could clearly see his face slightly tilted back, she bit her lip and asked
"Why did you leave?"
"Isn't the answer in your hands?" He turned his back to her, but he knew that she was getting harder and harder on the wishing card in his hand.
The flesh of her hand hurt from the edge of the wishing card, but she refused to let go, and asked in a choked voice
"So...... When you married me, you said that I was your good match, was it false? ”
"Yes!"
"What about the promise that I was told to hold my hand in front of the temple of Seondeok? You said you would never let go of my hand unless you died......"
"But casually, I forgot!" He replied coldly. Forgot? Her tears did not fall in her eyes, and she asked unwillingly
"Then your words about saving people on the road and telling me about the eternal existence of life and death are all fake? Is it? He replied without hesitation
"Yes, fake, all fake!"
"Since it's all fake, why did you lie to me so deeply? Could it be that it is really like those plays, I owe her Wen Ye in my previous life, and you want to use this to humiliate me and avenge her? ”
"There are truths and falsehoods in the play, you can take it seriously or not believe it, but this son has never loved you!" My son has never loved you...... Those accumulated tears slipped down in large pieces, like a waterfall pouring down, Nan Zhao seemed to hear the sound of her own heartbreak, she didn't want to accept it, kept shaking her head, and denied it
"Nope! No! You're lying to me! If you have never loved me, why teach me how to walk on this dark path? And why do you want to help me collect the spirit of the spirit flower? ”
"Because you don't open the spirit sacrifice, she can't be resurrected, and those spirit flowers are not collected for you, but only for you temporarily!" When she heard this answer, she cried and laughed,
"Hahaha! Hahaha! Shen Rugu stopped talking, and listened quietly to her mournful laughter. She laughed enough, she didn't cry anymore, her face was condensed with a layer of ice, since that day on Qingyun Mountain, after being inserted by the people of the Eight Great Daoguan Twelve Bone Sealing Needles, she has never been as sad as now.
It turns out that you don't need to go to the ice and snow to feel this biting cold...... She asked coldly
"So, I, Nan Zhao, is a spiritual flower that you raised for Wen Ye's rebirth, and when she returns from resurrection, she will be uprooted, right?" Cat flutter Chinese
