Chapter 25: Sudden Changes (3)
After Mo Xuelian's family finished dinner, she helped her father clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and everyone chatted together for a while.
Mo Xuelian waited until the family was almost asleep, she took out the gifts she was going to give to her master and brother, and then, she quietly went out of the room, and after carefully closing the door, she left the small courtyard and walked towards the ruined temple on the hillside.
When she came to the gate of the broken temple and was about to walk in, the purple-clothed old man and his senior brother Qin Xuanlong were cultivating in the broken temple, and when they had just finished cultivating and were about to go to bed, they heard Mo Xuelian's voice outside the broken temple.
"Master, senior brother, I'm back, come and see you. ”
"Snow Lotus is back, come in, it's been a long time since you left. The old man in purple had a kind face and a happy smile on his face.
Mo Xuelian walked in happily after hearing this, and as soon as she entered, she handed over the gifts to her master and brother with a smile on her face.
"Master, senior brother, look at what gifts I have brought you. ”
"Senior sister, there are also my gifts. Senior Brother Qin Xuanlong's face was full of anticipation, happy like a flower.
"Of course, how could I have forgotten my senior brother. Mo Xuelian looked at her senior brother with a smile while opening the gift.
The purple-clothed old man and Qin Xuanlong took the gift, opened it and saw that Mo Xuelian gave each of them a brand new dress, the two of them accepted it happily, put it on their bodies and tried it, and found that the size fit very well, and the color was also what they liked, Qin Xuanlong's clothes were white, and Master's clothes were purple.
The two had just finished trying on the clothes, and after taking them off and putting them away, the old man in purple looked at Mo Xuelian's sleeves and smiled meaningfully.
"Snow Lotus, I didn't expect you to have a spiritual object, which is not something ordinary people can have. ”
Qin Xuanlong was greatly surprised when he heard Master's words, he didn't expect Mo Xuelian to have such a fate, and she already had a spiritual object.
"Master, you know everything, you can see that little thing. Mo Xuelian admired her master very much from the bottom of her heart, and she was about to say it, but before she could say anything, the master had already seen it, and Mo Xuelian lowered her head and smiled a little embarrassed.
"Old man, I didn't expect you to be so powerful and able to see me, you must know that ordinary people can't see my existence. The snow qilin heard it burst out of Mo Xuelian's sleeve with a surprised expression on his face.
"Don't be rude, this is my master, you are not allowed to call the old man and the old man in the future. Mo Xuelian immediately glared at the snow qilin.
As soon as Xue Qilin saw Mo Xuelian's appearance, she didn't dare to speak, and twisted her head and ran into her sleeve again.
The old man in purple listened to it.... Ha smiled, at this time, Qin Xuanlong also saw the snow qilin, and praised the snow qilin.
"This little thing is pretty cute, don't say I still like it. ”
"You can see me too, can you hear me?" Xue Qilin was even more surprised, it was very shocked, and it burst out of Mo Xuelian's sleeve again.
"Ordinary people can't see you, and they can't hear you, but this doesn't include us immortal cultivators. The purple-clothed old man explained to the snow unicorn with a smile.
"Master, am I also an immortal cultivator?" Mo Xuelian asked a little hesitantly, although she had learned immortal art from her master since she was a child, she was still very ignorant, and she had never asked her master about this, which was also the reason why she was too young at the time.
"Of course, Master has taught you immortal arts, and you are naturally an immortal cultivator. “
Mo Xuelian nodded, although she was curious, she didn't understand the concept of an immortal cultivator, but just when she wanted to continue asking, Qin Xuanlong interjected.
"Senior sister, how are you doing during this time? ”
After Mo Xuelian heard this, she didn't ask again, and told her master and senior brother about her life in the Lin Mansion and the people she met during this time, the old man in purple and Qin Xuanlong listened with relish, while Xue Qilin said that she wanted to sleep, and she might have to sleep for a long time, but Mo Xuelian didn't care and let it sleep.
Lin Hongwan's side, she had dinner in the room, and it took time until everyone in the Lin Mansion had already slept, and when it was almost time, she dressed herself, brought enough two thousand taels of silver, put the clothes under the quilt, and covered the quilt again, and then, she quietly left the room when no one was around, closed the door, and tiptoed out of the Lin Mansion along the way.
After leaving the Lin Mansion, Lin Hongwan was also very scared in her heart, she looked east and west, almost no one on the street had already slept, she walked cautiously, accidentally stepped on the stone, and fell, her buttocks hurt a little, and then, she hurriedly got up, didn't care about the pain on her body, threw herself on the soil and continued to walk.
And not long after Mo Xuelian left the small courtyard, the beggar in the southwest corner of Hongqing City came to the vicinity of the small courtyard with a few people and hidden, waiting for Lin Hongwan.
When Lin Hongwan walked to the vicinity of Mo Xuelian's small courtyard, she carefully searched around, and she saw several figures hiding in the grass near the small courtyard, and when she looked through the moonlight, she found that one of them was the beggar who connected it, and it seemed that these people had just arrived here.
When the beggar saw Lin Hongwan coming, he stood up and walked over and pointed to the grass on the side and told her, "You hide in the grass here, let's go and do something, and when the matter is done, we will come to you and ask you for the remaining silver taels." “
"Good..... Good..... You..... You..... Go ahead." Lin Hongwan was a little scared and stammered.
After speaking, these people, except for the leading beggar, the rest walked into the small courtyard where Mo Xuelian lived.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they gently pried the door open, and then they walked into the house lightly, but they searched for a long time without seeing the target on the paper.
When several people were wondering, Mo Liansheng woke up because of urine, so he got up from the bed and wanted to go to the toilet, and as soon as he got up and walked out of the house, he saw several people with sharp knives in their hands, looking for something in the house, and he screamed in fright.
"Who are you, what do you want to do, come here, catch thieves. ”
Several people looked at each other for fear that the matter would be lost, and then they immediately picked up the sharp knife and stabbed at Mo Liansheng. Then he only heard the sound of "ah", and Mo Liansheng fell in a pool of blood, and his body fell on the threshold.
Granny Mo and Hongru were also awakened by this shout, so they hurriedly got up and wanted to come out to see what was going on, but as soon as the two of them came out of the room, they saw several people killing Mo Liansheng, which frightened Granny Mo and Hongru in place at that time.
They were stupid, their bodies froze motionless, and before they could react, several assassins glanced at each other again, and then, they killed Granny Mo and Hongru with a knife.
After the killing, several people looked for it, and saw that there was no target in the house, and they were afraid that the sound just now would attract the attention of the surrounding neighbors, so they immediately withdrew from the small courtyard.
After they withdrew, they walked towards the grass outside the small courtyard, and found the beggar and Lin Hongwan, looking at them with a serious face and a gloomy face.
"Something happened, there was an accident, the target was not in the house, the people in the house were alarmed, and we were afraid that things would go wrong, so we killed them all. “
The leading beggar nodded resentfully after hearing this, but Lin Hongwan was so frightened that she couldn't do it, her body trembled, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened slightly.
"What, all.... All.... They're all killed, and she's not in the house yet? ”
"The girl has an accident, so I don't want the rest of the money, and I leave. As he spoke, the men turned around and were about to leave.
Lin Hongwan only reacted from the shock at this time, clenched her fists in her hands, and thought to herself, if you don't do it, you will do it to the end.
"Wait, I'll still give you this money, and I'll give it to you now, you still complete the task, don't do it in the near future, I'm also afraid of getting on fire, after a while you are doing it, I will go to the southwest corner of Hongqing City every once in a while to see you, if you prove that the matter is done, I will have a heavy reward." With that, Lin Hongwan handed the silver taels to the beggar.
After hearing this, the people turned their heads, and the leading beggar took the silver tael and checked it with his hand, "Okay, don't worry, girl, we will make up for the mistakes we made." Then, like Lin Hongwan, they hugged their fists and turned to leave.
After they left, Lin Hongwan was still not at ease, and wanted to go in to have a look, so she boldly walked into the small courtyard, and as soon as she was in the room, she saw the bodies of Hongru and the three of them lying on the ground near the door, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground.
Lin Hongwan looked creepy, she was so frightened that she held on to the door of the room with her hand, and then sat on the ground trembling and slumped, she looked at the three people, her eyes showed confusion and fear, after all, the three people who died were her real relatives, she touched her chest with her hand and whispered in fright.
"I didn't want to kill you, I just wanted Mo Xuelian to die, I didn't want to kill you at all, you have to believe me, believe me. ”
Saying that, Lin Hongwan's eyes overflowed with tears, she cried, cried for a minute, she wiped the tears on her face, and then, she sat up in fear and ran out of the house.
However, just when Lin Hongwan ran out of the house, the blue hairpin on her head fell to the ground, and then, with a flick, it fell to the crack under the cabinet in the house near the door.
The blue hairpin was bought by her, Mo Xuelian and Sun Yueling when they were shopping in the market, and each of them had one, and the hairpin was engraved with the last word of each of their names.
Lin Hongwan panicked but didn't know that her head had fallen off, she ran out of the small courtyard, and ran back to the Lin Mansion in a daze along the way, and ran back to her room.
As soon as she returned to her room, she closed the door, lay on the bed and covered her head with the quilt, curled up and drenched in cold sweat.
And Mo Xuelian's side, a few minutes after Lin Hongwan just ran out of the small courtyard, she talked to her master and senior brother about her experience in the Lin Mansion, and she was really a little sleepy.
"Master, brother, I'm a little sleepy and want to go back to sleep, you should be sleepy too. As she spoke, Mo Xuelian covered her mouth with her hand and yawned again.
"Xuelian, you go back, it's time for the teacher and your senior brother to rest. The old man in purple responded.
"I'll send you out. Qin Xuanlong looked at Mo Xuelian and said with a smile, and Mo Xuelian nodded in agreement.
After speaking, Mo Xuelian stood up and said goodbye to the master, and then she left the broken temple, Qin Xuanlong sent her out of the gate of the broken temple, went back down the hill, and then, Mo Xuelian walked towards the small courtyard.
