Bai Luoshang habitually touched the wine gourd, and continued the topic just now: "I guess, the story about the haunting of Tonghu Mountain does not exist at all, it is just a story made up by the predecessors in order to deceive the people of the world. And those who died, disappeared and went crazy in Tonghu Mountain were also from the hands of their predecessors. ”

Lou Qianyun couldn't help but sigh again, and said abruptly: "You know that the official road outside the Chenghuang Temple used to be a very lively road, and it can also be regarded as an economic artery between the Qianzhu Kingdom and the Southern Xia Kingdom. ”

Bai Luoshang snorted, "If you want to hide these people here and make sure that they are not discovered, you can only make others dare not approach." Whether you make up rumors of a haunted ghost or kill everyone who broke into Tonghu Mountain, it's just to hide from the world, and there are still surviving tea farmers living here. ”

Lou Qianyun suddenly laughed, "There are so many people who have died in this mountain at once, whether it is the Qianzhu Kingdom or the Nanxia Kingdom, they are unwilling to announce the causes of death of these tea farmers. ”

Under the imperial power of every emperor, there are white bones, and the glory of every dynasty is paved with corpses.

Bai Luoshang would not be stupid enough to talk to this person about whether the actions of the two monarchs were moral, so he just sneered twice in his heart and continued: "Therefore, this lie you made up also got their help, and with their help, that haunted rumor became true. Those mountain people didn't move their families out of Tonghu Mountain because they were haunted, but they were slaughtered twenty years ago?"

Lou Qianyun's silence has already admitted this.

"But why did Your Majesty of these two countries do this? Why don't you continue to hunt you down? You first led the people of Yanyinglou to slaughter the people of the Southern Xia Kingdom, and then betrayed the surviving tea farmers of the Southern Xia Kingdom to His Majesty the Qianzhu Kingdom. It stands to reason that none of them can easily let you go. ”

Lou Qianyun sneered: "What is the purpose of the monarch of the Southern Xia Kingdom, in fact, it is very simple, he just doesn't want people to know that his ancestors have done very cruel things to his people because of Ying Rihong, and he just wants these tea farmers to be wiped out along with that period of history." In the end, he didn't do anything, just replace the county official of a county seat, and then order this county official to classify the area around Tonghu Mountain as a place of death, ignoring everything on this mountain. It's like this realm has long been forgotten by them, and they want to wait for this realm to disappear by itself. ”

This reason seems to be plausible.

Bai Luoshang asked again: "Then what about Qianzhu Kingdom, why didn't that Majesty hunt you down again? After all, it would not have taken him twenty years to find out your whereabouts. ”

Lou Qianyun slowly exhaled green smoke, "Your Majesty didn't continue to hunt down me and these tea farmers because Your Majesty ordered me to find something." ”

"What's that?"

"A hundred years ago, an army of the Qianzhu Kingdom was destroyed here. ”

It was the expeditionary force that had been annihilated here.

Bai Luoshang felt very strange, what did the emperor of the Qianzhu Kingdom want to do with the army that had been destroyed a hundred years ago?

Lou Qianyun said slowly: "I stayed here, it took some time, and finally I found it, but I didn't tell Your Majesty, I hid this matter from him." ”

Bai Luoshang said strangely: "Why are you hiding it?"

Lou Qianyun did not answer.

Bai Luoshang thought for a moment and replied for him: "Because you don't know if he will continue to let you live after telling that His Majesty the clues he found, right? However, why would he want to find an army that has been dead for a hundred years?"

Lou Qianyun shook his head, as for this reason, he never knew.

Bai Luoshang pursed her lips and was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you believe that there really is immortality in the world?"

Lou Qianyun was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, "I found something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Your relationship with the eldest prince of Qiu seems to be really good. ”

But he never recognized me as his friend. ”

Lou Qianyun sneered twice and answered the question asked by Bai Luosheng: "Either life is death, death is life, only life can correspond to death, so there is no such thing as immortality and immortality in the world." ”

Bai Luoshang smiled and asked, "This is your answer?"

Lou Qianyun nodded, "Yes." ”

"I have one more question. ”

"Excuse me. ”

Bai Luoshang said: "Since you want to save the people of Tonghu Mountain, why did you bring people to kill people in the first place?"

Lou Qianyun sneered, "I thought that a smart person like you shouldn't ask that." ”

Bai Luoshang was ashamed and said: "What I said is that I would actually ask this kind of question, so let me ask in another way, why did you save these remnants later?"

Lou Qianyun was silent for a long time before he said two words: "Morality." ”

People who kill like hemp will also have so-called morality?

Bai Luoshang wrote his disbelief on his face, so as soon as Lou Qianyun saw his expression, he knew that he was very skeptical of what he said.

Lou Qianyun changed his hand and held the crutch, and sighed: "Do you know what people who live in the dark are most afraid of?"

Bai Luoshang looked at him and didn't speak.

Lou Qianyun sighed: "People in the darkness of life are most afraid of light. But the most greedy is also light. ”

Bai Luoshang blinked as if she didn't understand.

Lou Qianyun said again: "Even if I am a bad person who kills people without blinking, I still have what I want to insist on, and I also have my own morality. ”

The "loyalty" in Lou Qianyun's mouth, Bai Luoshang probably still understands it, but the "righteousness" he says, Bai Luoshang really can't understand it.

What "righteousness" can there be between Qianyun and the tea farmers in Tonghu Mountain?

Bai Luoshang stared at Lou Qianyun for a long time, then suddenly pointed to the crutch in his hand and said with a smile: "I recognize this crutch." ”

Lou Qianyun actually nodded and said, "You're right, it's that person." ”

Bai Luoshang blinked, "I haven't said anything yet." ”

Lou Qianyun said: "But you already think so." ”

"Do you know who I'm trying to talk about?"

"Yes, that fake old man called Forget-free. ”

Bai Luoshang smiled, "I find it very pleasant to talk to you, because you don't pretend not to hear me, you are not like the eldest prince of Qiu, he always pretends not to hear me, and he is always reluctant to talk to me." ”

Lou Qianyun also smiled.

Bai Luoshang glanced at the crutches, and said with a smile: "This crutch looks like it is prepared for you." ”

Lou Qianyun said: "I also think it's very easy to use." ”

Bai Luoshang shook his arm, looked at Lou Qianyun's eyes, and said with a smile: "What is the matter with you looking for me?"

Lou Qianyun was very appreciative of Bai Luosheng's cleverness, so his voice seemed very pleasant, "Of course, I am looking for you, of course, there is something very important. ”

Bai Luoshang tilted her head, "What important thing can you do to find me?"

Lou Qianyun suddenly showed a vicious smile, and he said, "I suddenly don't want to let you go down the mountain." ”

After Bai Luoshang heard this, he didn't react much, he just smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that the person who is going to destroy me is not Prince Qiu, but you." ”

"I didn't want to hurt you. ”

"But now you regret it. ”

"Do you know why I suddenly reversed myself?"

"It must be because of Prince Qiu, maybe it's because he threatened you, and you're not a person who is willing to be threatened. ”

"You are such a smart person, keep you, how do I know if you will threaten me in the future?"

"We're already on our way down the mountain, and you think you can stop us?"

Lou Qianyun squinted his eyes, suddenly smiled very strangely, and said, "I don't have to stop you, because you will come back by yourself, you will come back." One more thing I want to tell you is that the two things you just talked about, to be precise, actually happened 25 years ago. ”

After speaking, Lou Qianyun puffed out another puff of green smoke.

The puff of smoke sprayed on Bai Luosheng's face, and he only felt that he was choking and almost dying.

The green smoke filled in front of his eyes, and Bai Luoshang's eyes had been smoked to tears, so that he couldn't help but turn his back to wipe his eyes. He was wiping his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he seemed to see something. Rubbing his eyes again, he found that what was hidden behind the tree was indeed a coffin, a brand new coffin.

He was really surprised when he suddenly saw a coffin, but when he turned around, Lou Qianyun was gone.

Bai Luoshang felt very unreal, he went to look at the coffin again, and then the coffin was also covered by a thick fog.

For a moment, it seemed as if everything that had just happened was just my own imagination.

Because he saw Qiu Lifeng again, Qiu Lifeng was still walking forward with him on his back, and he was also walking slowly behind Qiu Lifeng.

Between his nose, there was also a strange woody scent, which was very familiar to him.

That's right, on the mass grave, Lu Yusheng lit this kind of incense.

Bai Luoshang grabbed Qiu Lifeng.

"What are you doing?" Qiu Lifeng stared at Bai Luoshang inexplicably, and when he saw that his face was not quite right, he frowned and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Bai Luoshang felt that he was a little fluttering, his feet seemed to be floating in the air, and he had to help Qiu Lifeng to stand firmly, "You really didn't smell anything?"

Qiu Lifeng's face suddenly became heavy, he didn't smell any strange smell, but he knew that Bai Luoshang must have smelled it.

"Remember the strange woody scent I told me about at the mass grave?"

"Do you smell this woody smell again?"

"I guess this must be a hallucinatory incense. ”

Qiu Lifeng helped Bai Luosheng, "What did you see?"

Bai Luoshang shook his dazed head and sighed: "An old man in a yellow shirt should be Lou Qianyun." ”

Qiu Lifeng squinted his eyes, "He...... What did I say to you?"

Bai Luoshang thought for a while and replied, "He said he wouldn't let us go down the mountain." ”

"Hmph, he can stop me in my way?"

"He was right here. ”

"He was never here. ”

Bai Luoshang frowned, "Was it really just my hallucination just now?"

If it was really an illusion, it was too real, because he really felt Lou Qianyun's breath, and he was very sure that he was very close to Lou Qianyun.

Qiu Lifeng just snorted coldly and replied, "I'm afraid yes, this is Lou Qianyun's illusory voice." ”

Bai Luoshang asked rhetorically, "What is the Illusory Voice?"

Qiu Lifeng didn't answer, he held Bai Luoshang and asked solemnly, "Can you stand firm on your own now?"

Bai Luoshang nodded confusedly.

Qiu Lifeng stuffed the horse rope into Bai Luosheng's hand, "If you can stand firm, lead the horse yourself, we have to go down the mountain, the sun is almost setting." ”
