Forced Marriage [Cultivation]

Late at night, ugly time.

Although the "banquet" during the day is over, it is destined that few people will be able to sleep this night.

In the Law Enforcement Palace, the elders returned to their own courtyards, and the disciples also retired, those who were going to be on duty, and those who were going to bed.

"Baitang, stay here for a while." Elder Wu shouted.

After the other disciples retreated, the courtyard was so quiet that the night was submerged.Elder Wu lay down on a grand master's chair under the corridor, staggering.His eyes drifted away from the moonlight and the night, and finally fell on the large poppies blooming like blood in the courtyard.

The picture is like the two sides of the gate leading to hell, the bewitching red flowers overwhelmingly occupy the whole world.And there is a man standing in it, with white clothes, black hair, and eyes like midnight.

Gu Baitang stood there upright, among the flowers full of evil and temptation, Ling Ran was like a fairy, with a whole body of righteousness.

"Heh." Wu Conglian suddenly grinned, and he said softly: "Baitang, come closer, Master can't see you clearly."

So Gu Baitang took a few steps closer, the moon behind him was like a silver plate, and the jasper shone brightly, making his face even more blurred.A gust of wind blew past, brushing the blue forehead on his head, fluttering slightly.

"Master." Gu Baitang lowered his eyebrows, quiet and docile.

Wu Conglian looked at him silently for a while, then suddenly asked, "What did Jiang Suxing say in your ear at that time?"

Gu Baitang raised his eyes and was shocked for a moment.Then he turned his head aside, hesitated, and said, "I didn't say anything."

Wu Conglian didn't speak, just stared at him blankly.Gu Baitang lowered his head and said in a low voice: "He said that he entrusted his life to my hands."

"What else?" Wu Conglian asked.

"No more." Gu Baitang felt that the master was a little strange, so he glanced at the master.

Wu Conglian breathed a sigh of relief, then lay back on the teacher's chair, and said with a smile, "Why did he say that?"

"It's not easy to play the Fuxiqin. His skills are not deep. Today, I have to guide him with sword dancing, otherwise he won't be able to build an array, and it will kill people." Gu Baitang said.

Wu Conglian pondered: "He trusts you wholeheartedly."

Gu Baitang didn't speak.

After a while, Wu Conglian asked again: "I heard people say that you and Jiang Suxing seem... to be married?"

It seemed that she also felt a little unspeakable, and Wu Conglian was also very hesitant when she asked.

Gu Baitang said in a low voice: "He's young, he's just messing around."

"Then what do you think?"

"When he grows up, he won't be interested in me."

"I'm asking you." Wu Conglian repeated sullenly.

"Me?" Gu Baitang looked confused, and said after a while: "What can I have, I don't have any opinion. After a while, he won't like me. He has a big heart and great ability. , and he is the head of the Jiang family, and he also bears many responsibilities. Now that he is young and playful, he wants to join in the fun with any novelty. Yuping is a small place, so he only knows me. Now that he is in the West City, he will meet more outstanding and powerful people, so naturally his attention will be diverted..."

Perhaps it was because he was sent to Xicheng since he was five years old, and grew up beside his master, who always treated him like a father and brother, gentle and loving.Gu Baitang usually couldn't think of anything in his heart, but under the question of the master, it poured out naturally like flowing water.

But when he raised his head, he saw Wu Conglian's shocked and complicated eyes.Before he could understand, Wu Conglian had returned to her usual gentleness and elegance, smiled and waved, "You step back."

Gu Baitang didn't think much, and left after resigning.As he walked, he felt very melancholy in his heart.

In Yuding Palace during the day, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Suxing, looking at him, staring at him.At that moment, Gu Baitang realized that Jiang Suxing was a very dazzling figure.The radiance around her is really hard to hide, it is very attractive.

Such a character, sooner or later, will completely shine.But for some reason, Gu Baitang felt very melancholy in his heart.

In the teahouse, there are three souls, four people, one qin, and one millstone.

Chen Kang's words made the surroundings more quiet and secretive, and no one made a sound.The three elders sat silently, with an ambiguous attitude.

In this way, the beginning and end of the matter are a little clearer.After Xiaoya escaped from Suomo Palace, she wanted to take revenge on her three disciples, so she stole scented tea from Chu Wan and poisoned it, causing the three disciples to kill each other.And because he overheard that Chen Kang wanted to seal his hidden corpse, he used the same method to seal the three corpses of Chen Kang.

In fact, the matter has come to this point, the incident of "the murder of the three disciples at the Xinting Pavilion of the Clear Water Lake" has gradually become clear, but Jiang Suxing feels that there are more and more mysteries.

First of all, what kind of poison is in the cherry blossom tea?Could it make the three disciples with Golden Core cultivation unable to resist?Cannibalism?

Secondly, why did Chen Kang want to seal Xiaoya's body because of some "Xicheng secret"?

Furthermore, where is Xiaoya's 'corpse' mentioned in the confessions of the three people who planned to reseal it?

According to the priority of the facts, Jiang Suxing decided to interrogate them one by one.His voice was calm and steady, and he said in a low voice: "If you want people to not know, you have to do nothing about it. Since the matter has already happened, instead of solving it, cover it up. Such a cover-up, is it the act of a fairy head in the cultivation world?"

However, Chen Kang said with a smile: "Patriarch Jiang, you are still young after all. There are many things in this world that cannot be opened up and aboveboard. Even the West City has its secrets that are not known to outsiders."

Chen Kang is 42 years old this year, and Jiang Suxing seems to have a huge age gap.

Jiang Suxing said: "The truth of the facts is one thing, and the morality that people believe in is another. If everyone just lives and cultivates with the idea that 'reality is inherently dark and human nature is inherently evil' , what beauty and light is there in this world?"

Chen Kang was silent for a long time, finally sighed, and seemed to compromise.

"Patriarch Jiang has only been in the West City for a short time, so he must have never heard of it. Three hundred years ago, there was an anecdote on Tianzhu Peak. At that time, there were four monks practicing on Tianzhu Peak, and two of them were couples. Tianzhu Peak It was cold all year round, birds and beasts disappeared, and the four of them practiced together, and they had a very deep friendship. Later, the husband of the Shuangxiu couple got a monster by chance. The other two monks. For the sake of the overall situation, the other two monks teamed up to seal the husband, and buried his bones in the Tianzhu Peak, under the sword guard. They also buried his wife, and sent his dead soul to the salvation, and reincarnated as a human being."

Jiang Suxing had heard of this "secret" in his previous life, and it was indeed what Chen Kang said, but it was listed as one of the "prohibited" things in the West City.There are still many versions of this incident in private, but Chen Kang's statement is the most widely circulated and the most official.But no one knows what happened 300 years ago.Even those four monks, only know that there are four monks, but don't know their names.

Jiang Suxing glanced at Elder Yan's astonished eyes, and already secretly guessed in his heart, he asked, "From what you mean, could it be that the identities of the other two monks back then were..."

Chen Kangdao: "I also found out about this by accident. After Lingxiu Xiaoya was arrested and imprisoned in the Demon Palace for stealing the Blue Sea Pearl, during that time, the master was very worried and often asked me about Xiaoya's situation. I was also I vaguely guessed until that day that Xiaoya escaped from the Demon Lock Palace, and the uncle was even more at a loss when he heard the news. As the great elder of Fumo Hall, he was in no condition at all. I had the heart to look up some information in the database of the Master of Ceremonies. For 300 years, the great master has indeed practiced on Tianzhu Peak for 20 years."

Listening to Chen Kang's narration, Elder Yan finally nodded with a very sad and helpless expression.

Jiang Suxing continued to play the piano: "So, Xiaoya is the husband of the Shuangxiu couple 300 years ago who killed his wife because of practicing evil skills? And you decided to seal Xiaoya again in order to make your uncle no longer worry. elegant?"

Chen Kangdao: "Yes. Later, I secretly went to Tianzhu Peak to guard the sword, and indeed found a bone with a broken seal. I think it was accidentally released by the later disciples, so that Xiaoya cultivated into a human form. Trying to steal the Pearl of the Blue Sea in vain is a capital crime. I thought that this time, simply sealing him into the "Dark Yin Realm" could be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, and even for the master and Xicheng forever! "

A row of linden trees are planted around the fence of the tea house, with luxuriant branches and leaves, full of emerald green.The night wind blows, the leaves shake gently, up and down, casting mottled shadows on the ground.The sound of Fuxi's piano flowed, and the surroundings were silent and peaceful.

Seeing the expressions of the three elders, Jiang Suxing also planned to bring this interrogation to an end.

"Chen Kang, do you know why you are here today?" Jiang Suxing finally asked softly.

Chen Kang was silent.

"It's because you're too clever to bind yourself in a cocoon." After saying that, the piano was collected, and the three green souls were included in the formation.

As the night was getting dark, Jiang Suxing put away the piano and stood there, waiting for the decision of the three elders.

Both Mingzheng and Elder Huo waited for Elder Yan to speak, but Elder Yan covered his head and shook his head.

"I didn't expect that I really killed them..."

Mingzheng sighed, "Chen Kang is also because he wants to be filial to you."

Seeing Elder Huo frowning at the side, Mingzheng asked sincerely, "Senior Brother Huo, why do you have such an expression?"

Elder Huo frowned: "So what happened on Tianzhu Peak 300 years ago?"

Ming Zhengdao: "The important thing now is not what the truth was back then, but how to deal with Xiaoya."

Elder Yan cried for his apprentice for a while, then stood up and shouted, "Zhou Hui can't stay, he must be killed!"

Elder Yan's shout made Jiang Suxing jump.He heard the other two elders say in surprise: "He is Zhou Hui?!"
