Chapter 13 (8)
When Lu Qian heard her mention Nangong Xue, she immediately thought of her insinuating that she mentioned "corpse scars" today, if someone paid attention to it, found evidence, and publicized the matter, he not only lost his head, but he was afraid that his life would not be guaranteed, but the real murderer of Kongtong could be pushed away. A trembling voice said, "Miss Chu, you stayed in the forest when you dug the trap, what did you see?"
The more Chu Menglin saw him flustered, the more playful she became, pretending to meditate hard to make him anxious, and said with a smile: "If I'm in a good mood, I'll see it, and if I'm in a bad mood, then I won't see it, who can tell?" In fact, after she dug the trap early, she returned to the cave to wait, as for how the head of Kongtong deceived He Zhengxian, how he was stunned and hung on the top of the tree, he didn't know anything, this trick was just a pastime for Lu Qian. Lu Qian believed it and begged: "Good sister, good sister, how can you be in a good mood?"
Chu Menglin said: "I have a good idea, but no one appreciates it, no one praises me, of course I am in a bad mood." Lu Qian said: "That's not easy, I'll praise you!" Rolling up his sleeves, he said like a storyteller: "You know astronomy, geography, knowledge, knowledge, and wit......"
Boss Chu Menglin was impatient and shouted: "Stop, I want you to praise people, praise and praise are all a few words, circling around the tip of the tongue, and flattering people casually, without any sincerity." I-" When she listened to Jiang Yanchen talk about the situation, she pinpointed the pros and cons, hit the nail on the head, and imitated his tone to talk about it, trying to make him understand that he was not a stupid girl with long hair and short knowledge, but he ignored it, so he said: "Young master, you also say a few nice words, praise the girl to be happy, I have a lot of adults, is it okay to talk to you about a truce?"
Lu Qian hurriedly cast his hope eyes on Jiang Yanchen, as if he hoped that he would put down his body, and also praised Chu Menglin for a few words, "Well-read and well-read, Bing Xue is smart".
Jiang Yanchen never rewarded Chu Menglin, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "It's talking on paper, and it's nonsense." Master Lu, it is better to ask for others than for yourself, I advise you not to ask for some dispensable testimony, the master game cannot be wasted, and if necessary, abandon the pawn to protect the car, which is also a wise move. If that Kongtong old Taoist really gets rid of you at this time, he can not only take over the Kunlun faction completely, expand his power, but also rebuild his reputation in the martial arts, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”
Although Lu Qian often boasted that he seemed to be brave and fearless, putting life and death aside, he was always the most afraid of death, and begged: "Ask Young Master Jiang to guide the villain a way to live." ”
Ji Qiannian saw that Jiang Yanchen was dissatisfied with Chu Menglin's actions, and said smartly: "Master Lu, Miss Chu is all fake, I will work hard and accompany you to the Sword Forest." After retrieving the secret secret, hand it over to me, I won't disappoint Young Master Jiang, then let's go?" his eyes couldn't help but look at Jiang Yanchen, wanting him to say something to keep him. Jiang Yanchen said coldly: "You should have left a long time ago." Chu Menglin sneered: "Listen to the gongs and drums, listen to the words, you should send her." Ji Qiannian understood that she was talking about irony, and exited the room first.
Not to mention that Ji Qiannian and Lu Qian left the inn, first bent to the blacksmith shop, purchased a few blunt weapons, and then did not delay at all, looking for mule carts all over the city. However, the times coincided with the chaos of the army, and there was a way that "the emperor was far away", local officials often disobeyed orders, secretly oppressed the people in the territory, bandits were infested in the mountains and wilderness, thieves were rampant, and merchants often traveled in groups. As soon as the coachmen in the city heard where they were going, they would rather not have those few taels of silver than gamble on the risk of losing their money to do this business. The two searched in vain, so they had to settle for the next best thing, buy a horse and gallop together.
When Lu Qian came, he was in a hurry, and he was like an arrow, eager to fly straight to the Sword Forest, with very few words along the way, Ji Qiannian was sometimes boring, and he was laughing from the side, and he always prevaricated with sporadic short sentences. In the middle of the night, I arrived in the forest, fortunately there was no one in the silence, the heroes had already left, the sky was cloudy, the summer weather was the most changeable, and it seemed that a heavy rain was about to fall.
Lu Qian had a ghost in his heart, and he saw that his eyes were full of ghost shadows, the branches of the trees were like tentacles of bones, the wind blew the leaves, and the rustling sound was mixed with the chirping of unknown birds, which was more like a ghost crying wolf. In the panic, it took a while to find the mark on the tree, which had been carved when digging a trap to mark it. Lu Qian knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his mouth was pious, and he said with words: "Tianzun is merciful, and he will help all the underworlds." The Ten Directions Xuan is subtle, the talisman forgives the spring, saves the three paths of suffering, leaves the blood lake court, and sinks the soul and stagnates the people......" is the Taoist prayer scripture for the dead.
Ji Qian couldn't help urging: "Master Lu, you move faster, delay for a while, the sky will be bright!" Lu Qian wept and continued: "...... The sword tree knife mountain is turned into a flower garden. Forgive all kinds of sins, be liberated from here, and live a long night in the dark, and be reborn. Unworthy disciple Lu Qiangong recited...... Although Uncle Shi was not killed by my own hands, he always died because of me. When several teachers were alive, I failed to be filial and destroyed my uncle's body after his death! I am really the biggest rebel!"
Ji Qiannian said disdainfully: "Okay, is there enough drama singing? To put it affectionately and righteously, your uncle has stabbed you with a sword through the heart, which is not enough to destroy it? Now we are just cremating him and refining his body and bones." ”
Lu Qian got up, pulled Ji Qiannian aside, and said in a low voice: "Be quiet, in front of Uncle Shi, I have to do enough work on the surface, so that he will not be dissipated in the future and entangle me again." It is better to believe that there is something than to believe that there is no soul. Ji Qiannian took a few steps out of the way, turned his gaze and said, "I said that I have hair all over my body, and I don't want to be involved with him." You dug it yourself. I didn't listen to Lu Qian's answer, but I only heard the sound of pickaxes rushing to the ground.
I don't know how long it tore in, I felt the wind blowing the cold on my body, and there was some bright light in the sky, but it was still dark gray inside, and then a shining thunderbolt tore through the sky, and a thunderclap exploded on the ground, shaking the heavens and the earth as if they were trembling. Lu Qian exclaimed with thunder. Ji Qiannian was half annoyed, half funny: "Master Lu, you are still not a man? Why are you so frightened that you scream in fear just by thundering? See clearly, it's just lightning, and it's not your uncle who appears to be angry and summons thunder to slash you." ”
After waiting for no response, he said with a slight anger: "Did you hear me speak?" only to see Lu Qian's eyes glazed, and when he looked at him, a lightning bolt lit up again, showing the rows of bloodstained stakes in the trap, quite like some rodent fangs. I couldn't help but be a little nervous in this atmosphere, and asked, "What about your uncle?
Lu Qian said: "I...... I don't know, I only dug this one. Ji Qiannian noticed that he was holding a crockpot in his hand, the surface was extremely broken, the pieces of vermilion lacquer were peeling off, I don't know what age it was, he wanted to say something relaxed to adjust the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "What is this......? Qi said: "Who is so kind? Can you make out the handwriting?"
Lu Qian shook his head and said, "I have never exchanged letters with anyone, and I am not familiar with handwriting. Ji Qiannian said: "That's okay, no matter what, this person always helps you a lot, and you can breathe a sigh of relief for a while." Lu Qian smiled bitterly: "As long as you are not doing a favor, then it is very good, I have a gut feeling that there is a conspiracy in it, and there are evil intentions......" Ji Qiannian smiled: "When I see that you have done too much bad things, you often think about harming others, and you feel that others are also going to harm you." ”
Lu Qian said: "No, it was my uncle who was buried with my own hands, but someone made this move later, and I was only present that night, including Xue'er, Menglin, and Kongtong Old Thief, you might as well eliminate them one by one." Of course I won't leave a letter for myself, Monlin...... She doesn't have this time, Xue'er is even more impossible, there is only Kongtong old thief left, and now I am an outcast, I don't believe he will help me. ”
Ji Qiannian comforted: "Maybe it's not, but someone else." Lu Qian said: "That's even more terrifying, do you think, he knew about it but didn't expose it, and destroyed the handle used to contain me, how can there be any unpaid help in the world? But he didn't say anything about the conditions...... I'm in the light, he's in the dark, I can't guard against it, I ...... What to do?"
Ji Qiannian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't ask me, I'm a theater watcher at best, you make your own decisions." Lu Qian clenched his fist with one hand and kept beating his head, Ji Qiannian was unwilling to be left aside, and said: "Think about it from another angle, isn't this a good thing? ”
Lu Qian hummed lightly and said, "I can't say it, I can only listen to you, I will immediately join my disciples and set off back to Kunlun." Ji Qiannian smiled: "You are a person who always wants to be the king and hegemon, but you can't do anything, and you have to rely on others." Lu Qian smiled awkwardly, and Ji Qiannian said again: "This matter is over, then let's say goodbye, I want to go to the palace to see Concubine Yun, I wish you good luck." ”
Lu Qian hurriedly said: "You ...... Didn't you accompany me to Kunlun? Didn't you say ......" Ji Qiannian smiled: "I only said that I would accompany you on a trip to the Sword Forest, isn't this true to my word? I can't always accompany you, right? What will it look like?" Lu Qian was full of awe of Ji Qiannian at first, and after getting along for half a day, he felt that she was easy-going, witty, and not as tricky as Chu Menglin, and she also had a lot of good feelings in her heart, and she was about to separate, but she was reluctant, and snorted: "But...... I'm scared ...... alone."
Ji Qiannian said with a smile: "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, what is there to be afraid of? You are so unproductive, Chu Menglin will look down on you." Then again, how are you doing, and how effective is the medicine I gave you?"
Lu Qian sighed: "I also believe that the medicine is 'effective', but she didn't take it at all, and Da Luo Jindan didn't work." You see that she looked bitter and hateful, and she deliberately said those words to let the hall master kill me. Ji Qiannianqi said: "Why didn't you take it? Could it be that you were in a hurry to take it first? Hey, stupid, no matter how strong the fire burns, there is a lack of dry firewood, but it still can't burn." ”
Lu Qian said: "You say I don't know how to use it?" I was about to make tea for her that day, but my uncle suddenly killed her halfway, and the matter was over, and then he took me to the Agarwood Courtyard to meet his old lady like a flower...... "Ji Qiannian smiled: "It's a good account, anyway, I don't know He Zhengxian well, I won't cry and mourn at his funeral, your feet are slow, and the horse is left to you!"
Lu Qian was stunned, and blurted out: "Sect Master Ji! Sect Master Ji, Qiannian ......" But where can I still see the trace of Ji Qiannian? Mu stood for a long time, learned from the pain, tied the clay pot around his waist, and rode back to the city. He didn't like Ji Qian's words before, but an anxiety was borne by two people, and it was always a little better, and it suddenly rained heavily on the way, and Lu Qian had no place to hide, so he was drenched in soup.
When it was dark in the city, he carried a hot potato in his arms, and he didn't dare to knock on the door and shout, so he slept in the corner. Pressed by heavy hearts, he couldn't sleep well after all, and just dreamed of the three thousand beauties of the harem, and saw Uncle Shi standing in front of him with blood on his face, and said straightly: "You killed me, I want you to pay for your life!" He wanted to shout: "I didn't kill you! I didn't kill you!" but he couldn't make a sound in his throat, and then Uncle Shi's hands turned into white bones, and he strangled his neck. When he was almost stunned, one of them kicked him in the waist and scolded: "Get away, you are in the way of the uncle, don't you have the money to stay in the inn?" Lao Tzu ......" When Lu Qian raised his eyes, he felt that the person was familiar, and he couldn't recall it for a while, but the man spoke first: "It turned out to be Uncle Lu!
Lu Qian asked, "Who are you?" The man smiled and said, "The little nephew is Liang Yue of the Diancang faction, I don't know Uncle Lu at the hero conference, do you remember?" Lu Qian remembered that he had injured him with a poisonous needle at that time, and his martial arts were higher than his own, if he attacked alone, it would be bad, and he had to try to find out his intentions first. asked, "Why are you here?" Liang Yue said: "The little nephew is about to go to Kunlun to participate in the funeral of Uncle He, the first head of the family. The little nephew's skills have not recovered, and he has been separated from his peers, and he has met the head of Lu, I wonder if he is lucky enough to go with him?"
