2. The Island of Desire Chapter 40 Waves Again
"Valuable? You don't have a backache when you stand and talk! Chen Wan struggled to get out of the jade pendant, she sat in a space in the jasper, and knocked the jade bi with her hand: "Let me go out and talk to you!" β
Linghua found a shady place to let Chen Wan out. The lonely soul stood in the shadow of the street corner, and she watched the people coming and going on the street, with mixed feelings: "It's been ten years...... I died unjustly, sealed away for ten years and never seen the outside world, and this justice came too late! β
Linghua lowered his head, raised his head to look at Chen Wan's expression, and sighed: "It's late, but it's also coming, and it gives the perpetrator the punishment he deserves." β
Chen Wan used her long nails to buckle the corners of the wall, and the dust on the bricks fell little by little. She shed a line of bloody tears: "Coming? But now that I'm dead, what good is justice to me? Will the damage go away? β
Linghua looked into the distance: "What has happened will indeed not disappear, but there will be no more similar injuries in the future, this is a meaningful thing."
The progress of events will always be accompanied by sacrifice, if all dangers can be predicted in advance, will there be no 'danger'? I didn't understand this reasoning either.
But I know that at this moment the victim is rescued, the perpetrator is punished, and the embezzled money is collected and used on the people, and this is the use of justice. β
Chen Wan also looked at the distant sky, and there was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "Huh...... Maybe that's a good thing. It's just that I've always been unwilling to die by myself. β
Linghua doesn't want to see anyone lose their lives, but there are some things that are really helpless.
Chen Wan stepped out of the shadows and touched the warm sunlight with her fingers. The sunlight was like venom to her, and her fingertips were corroded and made a "whoosh" sound.
She withdrew her hand in pain, put it under her lips and blew: "It hurts...... But I want to embrace the sunshine one last time. β
She looked at Linghua: "Come to the Taoist, I want to be exceeded." β
Linghua wanted to speak and stopped, she knew that Chen Wan's corpse was taken away by Sun Lianran, and her whereabouts were unknown at the moment, and there was no corpse, so how could she be exceeded?
She soothed: "Okay, I'll discuss with Yang Daochang, you come back first, don't hurt the ghost body." β
Chen Wan glanced at the dazzling sunlight again, turned into a wisp of ghostly energy, and returned to the jade pendant.
Linghua just breathed a sigh of relief, and the notes in the purse flickered. took it out and unfolded it, and wrote "Something strange happened in the village three hundred miles away, you need to go quickly, and you can't say goodbye in person."
She put away the transmission note and said to Chen Wan: "Daoist Yang has gone to deal with strange things elsewhere, I'm afraid your business will take some time." Why don't you follow me first, see the changes in Cloud City, and kill some time? β
Chen Wan was quiet for a long time and asked, "Is there no other Dao Master who can help me?" β
Linghua said truthfully: "You have been wandering in the world for ten years, and ordinary Taoist priests do not have such a powerful mana to surpass you, for the sake of safety, it is still appropriate for Yang Daochang." β
Chen Wan agreed after thinking about it: "It's okay, I'll go out with you to listen to the sound, and when I've seen enough, I'll let the Taoist master come." β
The next day, Canglan Pavilion.
An Huai was standing by the window and throwing a locust leaf into the distance, and suddenly a vertical line of gold characters was written in the air out of thin air.
An Huai was startled, took a few steps back, and squinted to see the golden characters. As the golden characters appeared one by one, An Huai read it out: "At two o'clock tonight, a banquet will be held on the second floor of Canglan Pavilion, and Mr. An Huai and Boss Qin will attend together." Linghua. β
An Huai fanned the golden characters with the back of his hand: "There are so many tricks to invite people, the older you get, the better you can play." β
He thought that Linghua would definitely be angry when he heard this, so he looked up at the peeps around him who were sure that there was no heart mirror, stroked his chest and sighed.
Qin Si saw An Huai by the window for a long time, and was still talking to herself, so she turned her arm back into her real body, wrapped it around An Huai's arm, and dragged him little by little: "I didn't squeak for a long time when I was with me, but I stood by the window but talked to myself, and I really ignored me." β
An Huai touched Qin Si's yellow-green stem: "How dare I, it's Linghua who asked us to eat at two o'clock." β
Qin Si walked over and came to his senses: "Okay, it just so happens that Henggu was still worried about emotional matters a while ago, and I guess I don't have time to conquer Linghua, an old stone that has not changed for thousands of years, we can help him." β
An Huai smiled: "You are enthusiastic, so worried about the relationship between Xinhua and Henggu." β
Qin Yucca pointed in the direction of the dark room: "You are addicted to investigating cases all day long, you don't talk about books, you don't make money, I don't pay attention, but you don't want to find something to do." β
He looked at the stacks of case files in the dark room and said worriedly, "Hasn't there been any progress yet?" β
An Huai shook his head, looked at the sky, and pushed him: "The time is coming, pack up and leave." β
As soon as the hour arrived, Linghua put the jade pendant in the Chunnuan Pavilion, and took Henggu to the second floor of the Canglan Pavilion, which was a single room that only distinguished guests could book, Linghua pushed the door into the smallest room, and An Huai and Qin Si were already waiting inside.
Linghua was surprised: "How did you know that I would book this?" β
An Huai put down the teacup: "How much money you have in your pocket, I know better than you, please sit down." β
Heng Gu pulled out a chair for Linghua, and Linghua was just about to sit down, when Qin Yucca pointed a little: "Slow!" β
Linghua leaned on the back of the chair and was stunned: "What's the matter?" β
Qin Si stood up, squinted his eyes and looked at the two, and suddenly applauded and laughed: "There is a happy event!" I, Qin Si, are the most accurate in seeing love, you have a red light on your face, and there will be marriage! β
Heng Gu was also stunned when he heard this, and immediately looked at Linghua after reacting, his bright eyes waiting for her answer.
Linghua shook his head with a smile: "Boss Qin, Henggu is still so young, how can he get married?" Not to mention, the current situation is complicated, how to talk about marriage. β
Qin Si put Linghua's hand on Heng Gu's hand: "Isn't this happening?" Only the initiative will have a story~"
Linghua was stunned for a moment, as if he had been burned, and immediately withdrew his hand: "Boss Qin, what do you mean by this?" Henggu is so much younger than me, he is my junior, how can there be emotions that should not exist. β
The light in Heng Gu's eyes dimmed little by little, and he went to help Linghua sit down, and he sat with his head down silently.
Qin Si glanced at the reaction of the two, covered her face and pretended to be ashamed: "Oh, today's day is not right, I don't calculate it accurate~"
Linghua took a peanut and put it in his mouth, no matter how he chewed it, it didn't seem to have any taste.
The maid of Canglan Pavilion rushed in, and the dishes were quickly served, Linghua raised his glass: "The matter of Anxian County, thank you for your help, it took a long time to invite this glass of wine, it was Linghua's negligence." β
An Huai waved his hand: "We have been friends for hundreds of years, don't mention this kind of kind words, the most important thing is that you find your true body safely." β
Linghua was grateful to An Huai for his care and help, and nodded sincerely: "Cheers!" β
The four glasses of wine touched each other, and one was dry only Henggu, who poured himself another glass of wine and drank it to himself.
An hour later, the dishes on the table were empty, and An Huai went back to the third floor with Qin Si to investigate the case, and there were only Heng Gu and Linghua in the not too spacious single room.
Henggu's cheeks and ears were red from drinking, and he was still conscious, he drank another glass of wine, lying on the table and blowing.
Linghua snatched the wine glass from his hand: "Henggu, now is not the time to get drunk. β
Heng Gu pillowed on his left arm, his misty eyes were slightly raised, and he slanted to look at Linghua's eyes: "When is that time?" Do you hate me when you do? β
Linghua frowned: "What are you thinking?" When have I ever been tired of you? I am with you every day, if I am tired of you, how can I save you from the wilderness? β
Heng Gu took a new cup and poured wine: "But you drove me away, and just now you said that you have no feelings for me." β
Linghua choked for a moment, avoiding emotional matters, she snatched the wine glass from Henggu's hand again: "I'm afraid that you will be in danger with me, looking for the mirror is my own business, and I never want to drag others down." If you want to stay, I won't drive you out. β
Henggu's eyes lit up and he didn't continue to ask. He sat up, approached Linghua's face, and deliberately closed his eyes: "Linghua, I seem to be ...... It seems to be drunk. β
Linghua looked at the young man with plain face and red lips in front of her, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, she used her spiritual power to hang Heng Gu up: "It's not too early, let's go, go back." β
Heng Gu easily broke through her spiritual power confinement and stood firmly on the ground. He staggered two steps: "Linghua, I want to take a walk......"
Linghua saw that he couldn't support his body, so he hurriedly fished it out with his hands. Heng Gu leaned on Linghua, put his head on the top of Linghua's head, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook: "Linghua, you won't dislike me, right?" β
Linghua hugged Henggu's waist and dragged him away with great effort: "You look quite thin, why are you so heavy, now I don't like you a little." β
When Heng Gu heard this, he immediately stood up straight, pulled Linghua over and leaned against him: "So that I won't be heavy, you will like me, right?" β
Linghua broke free from Heng Gu's arms and looked back at the red-faced young man: "Are you really drunk?" β
Heng Gu didn't answer, he hiccuped and stumbled Linghua out of the Canglan Pavilion.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and a red figure floated in the sky, and Heng Gu's eyes widened: "That's?" β
Linghua also woke up: "It's not good, it's the direction of Zhang's mansion." Henggu, you go back to the Spring Pavilion first, and I'll take a look. β
Henggu naturally didn't let go of Xinhua alone, and stepped forward to pull her sleeve: "Don't, I'm with you!" β
Linghua turned around: "What are you messing around, it's inconvenient to act when you're drunk, you go back and rest." β
Henggu scratched his head: "I...... I wasn't drunk......"
"You actually lied to me?" Linghua picked up Henggu's ears, looked at the direction of Zhang's mansion again, spread his hand and said angrily, "I'll settle this account with you when I go home." β
There were people coming and going on the street, and the two walked quickly to the door of Zhang's mansion. Zhang's mansion has no black gas at the moment, there is a seal at the gate, and there are two yawning officials guarding it.
Linghua took Henggu to find a path, disappeared in an instant, and appeared by the lotus pond in the house.
She suddenly remembered that Chen Wan's body was buried nearby, and although it was taken away by Sun Lianran, it was possible to put it back. She whispered to Heng Gu, "Go and find out if Chen Wan's bones are still here." β
Some of the lotus flowers in the pond are already in full bloom, but unfortunately there is no one to take care of them anymore. Linghua followed the route in his memory, searched and found the winding corridor, and the iron door at the end that had already been broken through.
She walked into the low cave, and the rockery inside collapsed, the weeds grew wildly, the blood on the ground dried up and congealed, and the corpses attracted swarms of flies and insects.
Henggu raised his hand to form a small barrier, and the unclean wild insects were isolated from the barrier. Linghua walked quickly through this mess and found the dirt pit under the last rockery.
The inside was still empty, Heng Gu found a flat stone, and unwillingly dug the soil in the pit, but there was still nothing.
Henggu had to dig again, but Linghua stopped him: "Don't dig, she's not here." β
Henggu angrily threw the stone into the distance: "Is this worthy of conscience?" Chen Wan is like a tool in their hands, even if he has been dead for ten years, he will not let go? β
Linghua looked down at the pit and saw a white sharp horn in the loess, she pointed to Henggu's feet: "Henggu, what is under your feet?" β
Heng Gu retracted his gaze and raised his foot to see the sharp corner, he picked up the exposed white tip, and slowly shook it to take it out. It was a two-folded piece of paper, which Henggu unfolded, and on which was written crookedly in pungent rancid blood, "If you want a corpse, come to the town." β
"The Town? Where is this? Linghua thought carefully and shook his head, "In my memory, there is no such place. β
Heng Gu climbed up from the pit: "Yin Tian has no tricks, could this be a trap?" β
Linghua groaned: "What you said makes sense, they didn't succeed in the Jin family, and now that the Zhang Mansion has lost again, they must hate us." β
She took the note and looked through it carefully: "This note is white and dry, not like it has been buried in the soil for a long time, but like someone took the opportunity to put it here to lure us there." β
"Shall we go then?" Heng Gu unconsciously walked to the place where he was fighting with Sun Lianran, and saw that the blood stains splashed on the leaves had faded over time, and he stood in place in a daze.
Linghua looked at Heng Gu's expression and patted his head: "Don't think too much, everything has its own arrangements." β
Henggu nodded, looking at the familiar courtyard and the big pit on the ground, where he killed someone for the first time, and it was regarded as avenging those souls who died in vain.
But Sun Lianran is obviously dead, what is the matter with the stinking rotten blood on the note? He looked at the location of Sun Lianran's charred corpseβthe corpse was gone.
