Chapter 262: Backhand (14)
The lord of the castle is dead.
On that day, after he was cultivating the evil method, he suddenly went crazy, and after killing many disciples of the City Lord's Mansion, he was taken down by the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect on the spot. He also ignored the hard persuasion of Fairy Lu and wanted to go crazy and kill people, but was hanged on the spot and hung at the city gate to apologize for his crimes.
"What about the rest of the City Lord's Mansion disciples?" Sang Ling suddenly asked this sentence.
The monk who was quietly discussing at a table in the corner of the teahouse was a little surprised, and when he turned around, he found that it was a beautiful female nun, and immediately looked nervously left and right, and whispered: "Shh, you have to be quieter, the wind in the city is tight now." Seeing that Sang Ling's eyes were full of puzzlement, they lowered their voices and continued:
"On that day, after the death of the city lord, Fairy Lu searched in the city lord's mansion and found that there were still some living disciples who were also practicing the same evil law, so he eradicated all the disciples, and the city lord's mansion was completely empty, leaving only the people of the Heavenly Dao Sect to guard and perform the duties of the city lord's mansion. Now, the city is searching for other City Lord's Mansion disciples everywhere, trying to eradicate them completely. ”
"Oh." Sang Ling responded lightly, only to feel that the boundless irony was the power of the overwhelm, but it sounded so good, and the style of doing ugly things and loving to smear powder on his face was really the consistent style of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
I'm afraid that this Cloud Falling City is now wrapped by the power of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and it has completely become a hall of words of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
She said nothing more, but asked about one other thing:
"When will this gate be opened again?"
"It has been closed since the poisoning in the city until now, and the Heavenly Dao Sect says that the city gate can only be opened after this remnant is completely eradicated."
The monks shook their heads and sighed, unsure of what the future would bring.
Sang Ling simply used up the tea and refreshments in her hand, asked for some packing and taking away, and got up to leave.
After her accident, she stayed in Yunluo City for three full days, and during these three days, she desperately inquired about the news of the City Lord's Mansion, not because of her escape plan, but because of Madame.
She covered her breath all the way, she had already changed into another look and was wearing no one to know, and after a few circles to make sure that there was really no tail behind her, she only turned into a dark alley in three or two steps.
The light of the alley is not good, and the bluestone slabs under the feet have grown a lot of moss because of the long-term moisture, and the fluffy green leaves are distributed on it, growing on the crevice wall tiles, with some playfulness and cuteness.
Sang Ling's gaze touched the house at the end of the alley, the expression on her face returned to calm, and then pushed the door open. One opening and one closing, the action is fast.
There was no movement in the room, as if it were uninhabited.
Sang Ling went to the kitchen next to the house to pick up two clean towels and entered the east room.
It was a small room, with only a large carved bed, a table, and a wardrobe.
She put her things on the table, wet and wrung out the handkerchief, and walked to the bedside, and the curtain was lifted, revealing a beautiful face that was so fragile that it was about to be scattered in the wind.
The woman was still asleep, her eyes tightly closed, and she was not half awakened from a drowsiness.
Sang Ling sighed helplessly, looking at the woman's increasingly pointed chin, the uneasiness in her heart became heavier and heavier.
She reached out and nudged the woman gently, and called to her:
"Ma'am, wake up."
After calling a few times, the city lord's wife barely opened her eyes, and when she saw Sang Ling's face, she was slightly relieved, and showed a little smile:
"Qingdai, what time is it, is there any news from Huaixi?"
Sang Ling shook her head, wiped the handkerchief for the woman, wiped her face again, and after a busy time, she gave the pastry she had just bought and a spirit pill.
"This is life-sustaining, or found in the storage bag sent before, eat it."
Sang Ling didn't say much, in fact, even if this medicine is eaten as a radish, it can't cure Mrs. Ran's illness.
Three days ago, when she left the medicine hall, she met the lady who escaped from the tunnel, the other party was dressed in clean plain clothes, with one or two storage bags that were hurriedly packed out, and she was carried out of the tunnel by Huaixi Ah Qian left and right in a panic.
But the muffled sound of an explosion coming from the depths of the tunnel clearly told Sang Ling that the tunnel circuit had been cut off.
Madame was already crying breathlessly at that time, and she wanted to push Huaixi away and turn back on the spot, but the city lord did not give her this opportunity at all, and chose to let Madame escape before the catastrophe was imminent and she was completely driven crazy.
Huai Xiqing clearly said the meaning of the city lord word by word, stopped the lady's crying, and also took away all her heart.
Later, she fell ill.
Huaixi trusted Sang Ling, handed over his wife to Sang Ling's care, and took the opportunity to escape from the city gate when the forces were chaotic, and went to find the Wu family in Zezhou, which was thousands of miles away.
Ah Qian is now hiding from the world outside, secretly contacting Sang Ling.
Sang Ling guarded the glass-like woman alone, waiting for the flowers to slowly wither.
It seems that it is really time, Madame has been awake for a long time today, and after she used two or three pastries, she also had the strength to take out the storage bag and open it in front of Sang Ling.
This is a piece of jade that has been broken into countless pieces, it seems to have been dropped by someone, and it was torn apart, only most of it was picked up and put together, but the edge of the fracture was very rounded, and it was obvious that it was often rubbed and played with.
Madame handed the jade slip tremblingly, and Sang Ling hurriedly took it, a little puzzled.
"What is this?"
"Ahem...... It's the husband's cultivation...... Ahem, heh, evil law. The last two words spat out from the cough with endless mockery, and Madame's eyes were full of disdain. She coughed for a long time, and finally took a breath and said slowly:
"My husband didn't do that at first, but then his temper became more and more irritable. I was very strange, deliberately trying to inquire openly and secretly, and finally found this thing. I don't have enough aura for this thing, and I can't see the contents of it at all, but my husband has become so weird because of it, and I think there must be something harmful in it. Later, when this happened, I finally realized that this thing was an evil law that the righteous path abandoned. ”
Sang Ling poured the aura into the jade slip, no longer hiding her strength, Madame's current cultivation is almost mortal, but she didn't notice the abnormality in front of her.
After a while, Sang Ling had an answer:
"This is an ancient thing, the exercises are powerful, but the most important part of them is missing and incomplete. Once you are in a hurry to cultivate, it is easy to go astray and mess up your mind. ”
Sang Ling's expression was still calm, but her hands involuntarily clenched the jade slip, this thing turned out to be from ancient times, when she was still a puppet, the evil cultivator who controlled herself plotted against Xie Hanzhou, and she also used the ancient remnant formation gluttonous fish formation.
The exact same source, the exact same brokenness, and the strange connection made her heart feel slightly cold.
She opened her mouth: "Madame, do you know where this thing came from?" ”
"Ghost City."
Madame spoke, spitting out these two words, her voice was faint, but it was nothing less than thunder.
Sang Ling couldn't believe it:
"Ghost City?!"
Madame looked at her a little strangely, nodded, and explained, "I asked my husband, who was very angry, but still told me. He was dragged around by a friend by chance and bought it by chance. I didn't want to use it, but I found that the exercises were powerful, so I tried to practice. It's just that he has always tasted it shallowly, and he is not greedy for merit, everything that happened later was because of Lu Chaoyan! ”
The fine teeth grinded, and a name was sharpened out between the left and right sees: "If it weren't for the things sent by Lu Chaoyan, how could the husband be harmed to this point!" ”
An object was taken out of the storage bag, and the lady did not look at it, but threw it on the ground with a thud.
The box was all black, made of gloomy wood, with a dark fragrance, and the lock was broken ajar, and the contents were spat out in a rolling motion, but it was only the size of a fingernail.
Sang Ling looked at the things on the ground, a little unsure:
"Is it the black box that Lu Chaoyan sent in the rain that day?"
Madame smiled coldly, and glanced at the box as if she was looking at the enemy in this life, and the hatred was monstrous.
"Yes! I only hated that day, I had a temper with my husband, so I let him go to see Lu Chaoyan. ”
Sang Ling picked it up and put it under her nose to sniff it. And then immediately covered his nose and took things away:
"The smell of this thing is strong, fierce and domineering, but as soon as I smell it, I feel that the aura is soaring and the breath fluctuates."
Madame smiled dismally:
"At the last moment of soberness that day, my husband sent me into the escape tunnel. Before leaving, he handed it to me, saying that it was strange and could stimulate evil spirits, making him uncertain and short-tempered. He sensed that the time limit was approaching, and he hoped that I could make the crimes of the Heavenly Dao Sect public. But I have been sick for several days in a row, and my head is dizzy, and I have been delayed until now. ”
As she spoke, she reached over, put one of Sang Ling's hands in her palm, and patted it gently, just like she did in the restaurant that day.
It's just that hand, but it is much less warm than that day, like deep well water.
She continued: "Qing Dai, I know that your identity is definitely not simple, and you are actually very different from a medical practitioner sometimes. After a pause, she laughed for a while, and then said:
"But I know that you have a good heart, so I will hand over this evidence to you, and I hope you will help me transfer it to the Wu family. I have been a chess piece all my life, and I only got a few years of joy in this cloud-falling city, but unfortunately it was not long, and it ended miserably after all. I only hope that the Wu family can know what the Heavenly Dao Sect has done and ...... for us Revenge, revenge. ”
Speaking of the word "revenge", she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and two peach blossoms flushed on her cheeks, which had been pale, and Sang Ling nodded heavily at the eyes that were already slowly losing concentration.
"Okay, I promise you."
"Well, now I can go to see my husband with peace of mind. Qing Dai, I don't like Zezhou, I still want to stay near Yunluo City, just watch from afar. ”
The lady murmured a few words, and her voice slowly faded until it finally disappeared.
Sang Ling only felt that the hands on the back of her hands were as cold as ice, and then they slipped off weakly and fell on top of the bedding.
Madame is still gone after all.
Sang Ling got up and picked up the black box on the ground, sealed and put away the things that Mrs. had just taken out and told about. And everything that the lady used was packed up and burned with fire.
The fire ignited, and everything went underground with the spirits. She placed her wife's body in the coffin in the courtyard and put it in a storage bag.
Ah Qian got the news just now, so he hurriedly sent the coffin, it was still according to the large size that Sang Ling said, but now it was indeed empty and only the lady was placed, which made him a little puzzled.
"Miss, is this coffin too big?"
"Not big."
Sang Ling looked up at the city gate, where there was a pole, erected high, so that everyone in the city could look up and see. A corpse was hanging from the pole with a hemp rope bolt, and the wind and rain for several days had already made the corpse unrecognizable, and only vaguely saw the glory of the city lord in the past.
Sang Ling's eyes fell on that place for a long time, and Ah Qian next to her was full of doubts, and he couldn't figure out what was going on in the young lady's mind.
If you want to snatch a corpse, where is it so easy?
