Chapter 267: The Old Mystery (3)
By the time Sang Ling cleared the ghost qi and could open her eyes to see everything in front of her, it was already the middle of the moon.
The cold moonlight sprinkled down like white sugar, spread all over the ground, and the grass and jungle stood in the wild, only to see a bonfire burning in front of me, and the orange-yellow firelight dispersed all the remaining coldness in the bones, leaving only a piece of warmth.
She stood up, removing her hood from her body and putting it away along with the mask that was clasped to her face. I walked to the next stream in three or two steps, took water and washed my hands and face.
In addition to the murmuring of the stream, there is an endless night wind. There is only one person here, and the person who suddenly came to the rescue just now did not show his whereabouts from beginning to end, and even the sound was rarely made, so that people could not guess the identity of the other party at all.
Sang Ling wiped her hands dry, but she smiled, her voice was very faint, and there was no fluctuation.
"Xie Hanzhou, hide your breath and hide in the dark, why do you have to keep it over and over again?"
Last time in Xianyang Sect, the other party had already done it once. Now, Sang Ling's cultivation is much more advanced, except for the inexplicable overturning in the gutter just now, this time Xie Hanzhou's hiding was easily discovered by her.
The other party did not insist, and soon showed his figure. The posture is jade, and the twigs are finely wrapped around the corners of the robe and the feet, which cannot bring half the joy that should be.
Sang Ling didn't look at him, put his eyes on the moonlight in front of him, which was exceptionally clean and clear on the stream, and said:
"You made the ice coffin in the Forbidden Lands?"
“…… Be. ”
"I'm obviously dead, the sacrificial circle set up by the Heavenly Dao Sect in the forbidden land will not spit out the flesh and soul of the sacrifice, even if the body is stored in the ice coffin, the soul will not escape, what happened?"
Footsteps quickly sounded behind him, but they quickly stopped, and his breathing became stagnant and difficult. Sang Ling knew that Xie Hanzhou must be in a fluctuating mood at this time, and she still didn't look back, and now the old things have come out, but she has completely figured out the purpose of the ghost market, feelings? Long gone.
After a long time, Xie Hanzhou's voice came from behind him, low and dry, as if squeezed out of his throat.
"You went on an adventure in the ghost market to find out what happened back then?"
"Yes, I found out the transaction records of the puppet back then, and the seller is the ghost market owner. It shows that after my death, my soul wandered into the ghost market and was made into a puppet. This puppet's appearance is six or seven points similar to my physical body, it is not artificial, where did it come from? ”
Sang Ling turned her head to look at him, then took a few steps back, leaving the other party's attempt to get closer.
"Xie Xianjun, you and I are not related, you have to respect yourself."
"Self-respect? I was restrained by Lu Chaoyan back then, so I killed you in a forbidden place. That's not my heart at all! ”
The cold look in his eyes was excited, like countless tumbling clouds before a thunderstorm and strong wind:
"Three hundred years ago, I did countless things that I regretted every day in the sect, I woke up in the middle of the night, I couldn't sleep all night, I finally clarified all my feelings, I want to make up for it, I will sneak into the forbidden place and use the ice coffin to restrain you! That's what I was back then, that's what I really do! ”
"But the belated look is cheaper than grass!" Sang Ling's voice was louder, and then pushed away the other party's hand that was trying to get closer, and the emotion of rejection was written all over her eyes:
"You killed me twice! Xie Hanzhou, no matter what, you owe me two lives! ”
The voice roared out of pain, and it shook the atmosphere that was about to explode.
Xie Hanzhou's hand retracted suddenly, and then quickly turned his back, and after a long time, the voice slowly came out, as cold and calm as ever.
“…… I shouldn't have been, I'm sorry, just ...... It's me who's out of control. ”
Sang Ling lowered her hand, covering the hand that was clenched into a fist in the struggle just now, and her voice was even colder:
"Xie Hanzhou, it is impossible for children to grow in love with you and me...... Previously, Mr. Hongyanna's husband was made into a puppet, and I found the same moonstone on his corpse as I did back then, so I ventured to the ghost market. If you want to listen, we can continue to talk, if you don't want to, you just let me never show up. ”
Sang Ling didn't give the other party time to hesitate, she had already suppressed her anger and was ready to turn around and leave.
However, at this moment, Xie Hanzhou had already turned around, his eyelashes were lowered, and his expression was hidden in them, unable to be distinguished.
"Ghost market? The puppets are also from them? ”
Seeing that he finally got down to business, Sang Ling quickly concluded:
"Yes, I checked the ghost market transaction records, but the seller was none, I checked a few more things, only to find that the seller who was not recorded back then should be the ghost market owner. Those mysterious people in the Nine-Story Tower appeared twice, and if it was a ghost market guide, the purpose was just to use me to calculate you. But what all this is for, I can't guess. ”
Sang Ling didn't know at this time that the real transaction files of the City Lord of Yunluo City and Hongyan had already been hidden, and what she saw just now was just the tip of the iceberg. The evidence lacks a crucial link, and the truth is hidden in a veil, making it difficult to see the whole picture.
Thinking of the person who wanted to buckle her mask with the eerie fingers just now, Sang Ling only felt cold and uncomfortable.
The other party covered up all the descriptions, but his attitude towards her was strange and abnormal, making people can't help but wonder if the other party is an acquaintance?
Xie Hanzhou was silent for a moment before slowly speaking and saying everything at that time:
"Back then, I sealed your body with an ice coffin, but I didn't want to be interrupted when I gathered my soul, and hundreds of years later, I searched for the soul gathering lamp to regain your soul, but I didn't find half a shadow. Now that I think about it, it would be possible if someone secretly captured half of my soul and made it into a puppet. ”
The ancient magic circle that appeared inexplicably a few years ago, the heart-haunting spell, and the nine-story tower to rescue the mysterious person who stepped on the snow, were all too coincidental, and if everything was calculated by someone with a heart, it was also possible.
But a ghost market?
"I haven't dealt with the ghost market, and I haven't guessed who the ghost city owner will be."
Xie Hanzhou said the answer that Sang Ling wanted to know most about the past tonight, and saw the other party's action of turning around and leaving.
He subconsciously prepared to block, but suddenly caught a little movement behind him, his eyelashes blinked, and he quickly looked to the side, but he continued to answer:
"Ah Ling, it was my fault back then, but now things are wrong, why bother too much."
The words changed suddenly, and Sang Ling was already keenly aware that something was wrong, and when she was about to follow the other party's line of sight, she saw Xie Hanzhou immediately turn her eyes sideways, and shook her head lightly at her.
Sang Ling's movements stopped immediately, and in the next second, she heard someone calling her:
"Lin Ling?"
It was a woman's plain voice like a dry well, sounding behind her, but it was Aowei's real person. As soon as she came, her eyes were glued to Sang Ling's body, and she saw that the aura around her body was not dispersed, her cultivation was profound, her eyes moved slightly, but her face was smiling.
"If you don't die, you will be blessed. Good apprentice, now, our two masters and apprentices can catch up with the past. Hanzhou left in a hurry just now, but I didn't expect to go to the ghost market to find you, why didn't you tell me? ”
Sang Ling was stunned, Xie Hanzhou was with Aowei in front of the ghost market?
Xie Hanzhou saw her doubts clearly, and said concisely:
"There is chaos in Zezhou, and the head of the sect sent me and Aowei Zhenren to come over together to secretly assist in Zhongzhou affairs."
didn't mention whether Ao Wei Zhenren's suspicion of assassinating her back then was clarified, Sang Ling's eyelashes drooped, and she already understood three points. She raised her hand and made a disciple salute, as if she was Lin Ling hundreds of years ago.
"Master."
The smile on Aowei's real face was three points louder, and she raised her hand to hold her up.
"Just now, did you have a conflict with Hanzhou?"
"It's just a little thing." Sang Ling's answer was even simpler.
Aowei Zhenren walked to the campfire, and she couldn't see any of her expressions under her back, only showing her usual expression when she sat down:
"Sit down, it's cold at night, always light a fire to keep warm. In fact, what happened back then was not all Hanzhou's fault, he made up a lot afterwards, and he also had a hard time. ”
Xie Hanzhou's eyes moved, and he looked in the direction of Sang Ling, as if he was moved by Aowei's words, and he had more hope.
But she met Sang Ling's indifferent and cold gaze, she already knew about Xie Hanzhou's gathering of souls and the storage of the ice coffin after her death, and she was not much interested in the inside story of Aowei's real mouth.
After all, killing someone and sentencing him to death afterwards is more than innocent, not to mention that Xie Hanzhou did not die.
Her eyes were always cold and indifferent, without any fluctuations. But in the face of the good "master" who might indirectly kill him back then, there was a little intimate smile on his face, and he didn't have half a mustard, and complained a little:
"Master, why do you want to help him speak?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was in a trance that Lin Ling, who was a book-wearing college student who didn't have much scheming, and did the strategy task like a headless fly.
Aowei Zhenren's secretly staring gaze was a relief:
"You, it's a child's heart, can't Hanzhou come over?"
Aowei Zhenren went to find Xie Hanzhou to sit down again, and deliberately arranged the two of them to sit next to each other, as if they were looking at the eyes of an infatuated man and a woman.
"Hanzhou is a piece of wood, he did a lot of remedies for the things back then, and it is estimated that he is still stuffy in his heart, so he hasn't told you."
Sang Ling lowered her eyelashes, covering the indifferent and cold gaze in her eyes, and she was not half moved.
Xie Hanzhou's cultivation is even worse now, he is not a real person who can't get rid of Aowei behind him. He deliberately brought the other party here, did he want to take the opportunity to test the power behind Aowei's real person, or did he have another purpose?
The thoughts in her heart were tumbling, but she quickly said:
"It's been more than three hundred years, and I've been in the forbidden land, and I've had a lot of things going on, and I hate him, and I've been thinking of him since I woke up. But he ...... Forget it, things are right and wrong, don't mention the past. ”
said so, but there was a little trembling at the end of the words, and anyone with a discerning eye could hear that there was a lot of resentment hidden in her heart.
In fact, Sang Ling said this, but it was just following what Aowei Zhenren wanted to say, and there was no fluctuation at all. But next to him, Xie Hanzhou's eyes had already looked over, and the expression in his eyes was stagnant.
Sang Ling hesitated on her face, puffing up her anger and not looking at the other party's gaze, but in fact, she sneered in her heart, time has passed, and Xie Hanzhou is willing to put down her body and act in order to calculate.
On the other side, Aowei Zhenren swept all the surfaces into his eyes, and even believed three points, and told what he had been told by Xie Hanzhou before.
"Three hundred years ago, after the incident in the Forbidden Land, there was a bigger mess in the Heavenly Dao Sect, and few people who knew about it were only known by the head of the elders."
Sang Ling was stunned:
"What is it?"
Xie Hanzhou quickly interrupted:
"Nothing."
"You log!" Aowei Zhenren was even more energetic: "After Hanzhou was in the forbidden land, he quietly returned to the forbidden land. Ready to rescue you, I don't want to, Xuan Chengzi took countless elders to arrest him, he fought hard, was near death and seriously injured, and injured countless elders before he was brought back. You have come back from the dead now, and he must have brought it back that time! ”
"Enough!"
Sang Ling's voice was like condensing and breaking ice, and as soon as the momentum came out, Aowei was actually suppressed.
Sang Ling didn't expect that she guessed wrong, guessed Xie Hanzhou's purpose wrong. This person asked Aowei to appear in real person, not to find out the other party's purpose?!
She felt like a fool when she cooperated with the play just now, and thinking of this, Sang Ling had already stood up and was about to leave.
Aowei Zhenren reacted immediately, ready to block:
"Why is your kid so angry now...... Do you already know that you are so resentful back then? Alas, do you know that Xuan Chengzi used the Cleansing Pill on Lu Chaoyan in order to punish Han Zhou for killing him. Wash away all the seven emotions and six desires in people's hearts, and return to a blank paper, but I don't know that this person, this love, is the most complicated, and one day I will think of it, and then it will be a stronger backlash. This thing is never an antidote, but a poison, a medicine more poisonous than arsenic. ”
Sang Ling's footsteps were paused, and then he slowly looked behind him.
Beside the bonfire, Xie Hanzhou lost his soul, his eyes were tight but he was staring fiercely, rolling like a sea of remnant clouds and tides, but in the next moment, his eyes were full of astonishment and disbelief.
Because, Sang Ling's gaze only flickered lightly on his face, and then he looked in the direction of Aowei's real person, with deep inquiry.
