Autumn
Chapter 9: Shangguan Jinghong
"It's all right now. Remember to give him these medicines every day. I'll come back for a follow-up visit in ten days."
"Miss Shangguan, thank you."
The village woman took the packaged medicine and thanked the girl opposite.In this dilapidated thatched hut, there was only a bedridden middle-aged man, a ragged village woman and a thin and somewhat dirty boy.A man accidentally fell from a hillside while chopping firewood and broke his leg. He had to rest in bed, and as a result, the family had no rations.Shangguan Jinghong looked at the dull boy for a while, then took out a money bag and a pack of snacks from his pocket.
"Although this amount of money is not much, it should last for a while." Shangguan Jinghong turned to the boy, "These snacks are for you, remember to eat with your parents."
The boy looked at the bag of snacks and swallowed, and looked up at his mother.
"Miss Shangguan, you can't do this. You didn't take any money for our man's medical treatment. How dare we ask for your money and snacks."
The village woman took the boy, but refused to accept him no matter what.
"It doesn't matter, the doctor was originally there to help the world. And I have some skills. But you are different. Now that the uncle is sick, how are you going to support this child? Just take it for the sake of the child."
Shangguan Jinghong involuntarily stuffed the money bag and snacks into the arms of the village woman, turned around and left the thatched hut.After walking briskly for more than an hour, I looked up and saw that the sun had already set to the west. Fortunately, I had already reached the main road, and I could enter the city after walking for a while.Taking time to close the city gate, Shangguan Jinghong trotted all the way back to Cold Rain City.
Cold Rain City is located in the northeast of Beiming State, which can be regarded as the extreme north of Kyushu.As soon as the cold winter comes, Cold Rain City enters a period of hibernation, covered with snow, the rivers and the earth are frozen, and people no longer work.This kind of hibernation will continue until Grain Rain. From this day onwards, there will be heavy rain in Cold Rain City for several days. The rain seems to carry cold air, and the skin will turn red due to the cold air when touched by hands.But after the rain stops and the sun rises, the temperature rises and everything comes alive again.
On the South Street of Hanyu City, there is a pharmacy called "Jishitang".This medicine shop is the ancestral shop of the Shangguan family, and it has been passed down to Shangguan Jinghong for the fifth generation.Originally, the Shangguan family's medical skills were passed on from male to female, but in Shangguan Jinghong's generation, changes have taken place.The Shangguan family was passed down from generation to generation, but Shangguan Jinghong's father only gave birth to one daughter.In addition, Shangguan Jinghong's mother passed away early, and his father, who was devoted to his mother, refused to reunite no matter what.In this way, the successor of the Shangguan family became a problem.Fortunately, Shangguan Jinghong's grandfather was an extremely enlightened person, so he simply changed the family rules.From then on, Shangguan Jinghong studied medicine with his grandfather and father.
Since his grandfather and father passed away one after another, Shangguan Jinghong has been in charge of Jishitang by himself for some years.In addition to going to the doctor and sitting in the hall every day, I go out to collect medicine.When I came back from outside the city today, I was just in time to close the city gate. If the guards guarding the city gate were not familiar with me, I might really have to sleep outside the city.Although it was already late at night, Shangguan Jinghong was still carrying a lantern and inspecting the medicinal materials in the pharmacy.
Counting the days, Grain Rain has passed for half a month, and the weather has become much warmer.I haven't been able to go to the mountains to collect herbs all winter, and the herbs in the shop seem to be insufficient.Shangguan Jinghong thought in his heart that he should go to Yunfeng to gather some medicinal materials tomorrow.Thinking about the names of the medicines to be collected all the way, he reached the door of the study before he knew it, and Shangguan Jinghong stopped unconsciously.It seemed that through a door, she could feel the strange power in the room.
Inside the light yellow sarong, candles were burning brightly.Shangguan Jinghong lit the candle on the desk with the help of the candle in the lantern.Under the flickering candlelight, there is an elongated figure, following the direction of the figure, one can see the other side of the study.There are four paintings on the wall at the end - plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.Shangguan Jinghong lifted one of them, twisted the round switch at the bottom, and a drawer popped out.There was a red sandalwood box in the drawer, Shangguan Jinghong carefully opened the box, and there was a blood red Yu Linglong inside.Shangguan Jinghong looked at it carefully, she still remembered that her grandfather got it from a foreigner.The grandfather cured the strange disease of the foreigner, and this Yu Linglong was given to the grandfather as a reward.But three months after the grandfather got Yu Linglong, he suddenly decided to hide it here. As for the reason, the grandfather kept silent.
Under the candlelight, Yu Linglong looked coquettish, the blood red made Shangguan Jinghong a little dizzy, and the moment he felt that his sanity was about to be pulled away, Shangguan Jinghong slammed the box shut.She kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm down her beating heart.Could this be why grandfather wanted to hide?When his mood gradually stabilized, Shangguan Jinghong began to think about the reason why his grandfather kept the secret in the first place.Glancing at the box in his hand, Shangguan Jinghong put it back in a panic and hurried back to his room.
In the early morning, Yunfeng is shrouded in layers of clouds and mist, the sun shines a piece of light on the clouds and mist, and the vegetation in the mountains is still condensed with morning dew.Yunfeng is most famous for Yunmiao, a small and agile deer with cloud-shaped patterns evenly distributed on its tawny body.They can run and jump lightly among the shapeless mountain paths on Yunfeng, and feel ethereal in the sea of clouds, hence the name Yunmiao.The skylark in the mountains can only be seen in Yunfeng. This kind of white bird, which is only the size of a human palm, is called a skylark because it only appears in Yunfeng.The skylark is not big in stature, but it has tail feathers of the same length as its body.In addition, there are many kinds of snakes in Yunfeng, so there are many herbs on Yunfeng, and there are even some rare species.
Shangguan Jinghong knows Yunfeng very well, she can clearly identify every mountain road, every stone, every tree, and today is no exception.
Climbing up the mountain path to the south of Yunfeng, and finding the herbs he wanted, Shangguan Jinghong skillfully began to pick them.When she came to the top of the mountain, it happened to be noon.With the water in the bamboo tube, she ate the biscuits for lunch neatly.When he got up and was about to go down another mountain path, he saw a white mass lying in the bushes.Shangguan Jinghong looked up curiously, and vaguely saw that it was a white fox.He reached out and touched the raised ear, but there seemed to be no response, so he boldly poked it again.This time the ear suddenly moved, and then the white ball stretched a little.This white fox has a slender body and a medium build, with a pair of black eyes looking straight at Shangguan Jinghong.
"Why are you here?"
Shangguan Jinghong asked curiously, the fox sniffed at her, then suddenly squinted and rubbed against the back of her hand.
"Are you hungry? But I have nothing to eat." Shangguan Jinghong touched his body, and there was no food. "Will you go home with me?"
The fox seemed to understand, stood up and lay on Shangguan Jinghong's lap.
"Mr. Lu is still playing the piano in the yard. I found that in the past month, he has been playing the piano for a longer time every day."
Yueying stood in front of the window, looking at the back of Lu Li playing the piano from a distance.
"Jinse's departure is so unclear, Lu Li must feel uncomfortable." Yin Danlu put his arms around Yueying's shoulders, "It would be great if we could know the location of the next Yu Linglong sooner."
"Speaking of which, can't we sense Yu Linglong?"
"This is Kyushu, which is different from the wild world. The human breath will disturb us. Unless Yu Linglong is very close to us, it is easy to misidentify."
"So, you should have a general direction?"
"Well, I plan to set off tomorrow to find out. I always feel uneasy that you stay and take care of Lu Li."
Shangguan Jinghong used some straw and old clothes to build a sleeping bunk in his bedroom.The fox stood aside, watching her rushing in and out curiously.
"Okay, little fox. This is where you'll sleep."
She patted the sleeping berth a few times, and said to the fox with satisfaction.The fox looked at her, walked around the bed, stepped on it carefully with its front paws, and then stood up.
"How is it? Very comfortable."
The fox was lying on the bunk, looking up at Shangguan Jinghong.
"Since you have already laid down on the bed, I will consider you satisfied." Shangguan Jinghong smiled and touched the fox's head, "I should give you a name. Let me call you... Yunxue."
Shangguan Jinghong tilted his head and thought for a while and said.
"Look, I met you on Yunfeng, and you are a snow-white fox. The name Yunxue suits you very well. By the way, my name is Shangguan Jinghong."
He was talking to Yun Xue to himself, but there was a shout from outside.Shangguan Jinghong heard the voice of the little girl from the Li family next door, hurriedly agreed and left the room, and ran to the shop in front.Yun Xue's ears moved a few times, and she heard the footsteps gradually drifting away.Immediately quickly jumped off the bed and ran out of the room.
As Yun Xue walked, she looked at every room she passed. In fact, the courtyard of Shangguan Jinghong's house is not big.This house is a typical building with front and backyards. The backyard is a small courtyard with two entrances. The second entrance is a study room, three bedrooms, and a living room.The study on the left is adjacent to the bedroom of Shangguan Jinghong's grandfather, and opposite is the bedroom of Shangguan Jinghong's parents and her boudoir.The living room is facing a screen wall in the courtyard. By going around the screen wall, you can see the courtyard wall used to divide the two courtyards. Through the round moon gate in the middle of the courtyard wall, you are the first to enter the courtyard.On the left is the medicinal materials warehouse, and on the right is the pharmacy. The open space in the middle is filled with bamboo racks and bamboo sieves for drying herbs.Going forward, walking through a small door is Jishitang's pharmacy.
Yun Xue circled around twice, and finally stopped at the door of the study.It wrinkled its nose and seemed to sense something.He raised his front paws and pushed the door of the study, and entered the study through the gap that was exposed.Standing in the middle of the room, Yunxue raised her head and sniffed the air, and soon her eyes fell on the four paintings hanging in the study.Just as he was about to lift his feet and move, he felt his body lighten, and then he smelled the aroma of herbs.
"This is Grandpa's study, you can't just randomly enter it."
Yun Xue turned her head and met Shang Shangguan's startled eyes.
"I bought a chicken back, and I heard people say that foxes eat meat." Shangguan Jinghong laughed, "I'll make it for you later."
As she spoke, she carried Yun Xue back to the bedroom, and when she was about to leave the room, Yun Xue's gaze returned to the four paintings again.
It has been four days since Yin Danlu left Wuweiju, and he has been heading north all the way based on his feeling.On the way, he also noticed some strange auras. Although he had already guessed that it was close to ten, he didn't want to startle the snake.Maybe this trip can not only find what I'm looking for, but also lead to the real culprit, and more importantly, it can solve the dilemma of inaction.Thinking of this, Yin Danlu narrowed her scarlet eyes, exerted a little force on her feet, the thick trunk shook, and a few leaves fell.
Yunxue lived in Shangguan's house for more than ten days. During these days, Shangguan Jinghong mostly dried medicine or made medicines in the yard, and did not make many visits to the doctor, basically sitting in Jishitang for consultation.As a result, Yunxue's chances of approaching the study were much reduced.It can only watch from a distance, but even so, it can still feel something strange.
In the late night of the No. 16 day where Yunxue lived, Yunxue, who was curled up on the bed, seemed to hear something, her ears moved slightly, and her body quickly sprang out of the open window.The moonlight this night was blocked by thick clouds, but this did not affect Yunxue's ability to see the scene in the dark clearly.
The door of the study was opened, it heard the sound of paper being lifted, and then something seemed to be opened.Yunxue hid in the corner and watched for a while, flicked her tail behind her, and then jumped to catch up with her.The man seemed to have noticed Yun Xue, and while speeding up his pace, he attacked Yun Xue.Dodging the opponent's attack deftly, Yunxue rushed up like an arrow from the string, biting the opponent's arm.
The sudden attack caught the other party off guard, and after throwing Yun Xue away forcefully, he fled forward in a hurry.But Yunxue didn't want him to escape, she jumped out of the bedroom lightly, and followed the other person's figure.
Yin Danlu raised her head and looked at the sky, the night tonight was too dark, at first it was just the clouds that blocked the moonlight, but now the whole sky is dark, even the little stars that were shining just now are gone.Yin Danlu couldn't help frowning and staring for a while, feeling a sense of uneasiness rising in her heart.The front is Cold Rain City, the city gate has already been closed at this hour, but this will not cause trouble to Yin Danlu.
In the dark night, a big bluish-white bird flew over the city wall, and when it landed, it turned into a young man with long crimson hair.Yin Danlu easily entered Cold Rain City.
The streets of Cold Rain City looked extremely deserted in the dark night, and the deserted streets seemed to be blown by wind.There was the sound of trampling on the road paved with bluestone slabs, one was light and fast, while the other was slightly heavy and panicked.The two voices headed for the gate of Cold Rain City one after the other.
Yin Danlu stood upright in front of the city gate, he heard the sound of the wind, there was a murderous intent hidden in the sound, but there were two different breaths.Soon, the murderous wind rushed towards him, and there were two figures running towards him in the darkness.No, it should be said that they are coming towards the city gate.
Yunxue didn't dare to stand still in the slightest, flashing like white lightning on the streets of Cold Rain City.The black figure in front changed as it passed through the alley. Although it was impossible to identify what it was from behind in such a dark night, it was definitely not an ordinary beast.Yun Xue narrowed her dark eyes, and there was a killing intent in them.
Jumping out from another alley, Yunxue knew that she was running on the West Street of Cold Rain City, and the current direction was heading towards the city gate.When approaching the city gate, Yun Xue vaguely saw someone standing there in the darkness.
The chasing figure in front was getting closer and closer, and Chiwu was firmly held in his hand. Although Yin Danlu didn't know which one was the enemy, he knew very well that he only needed to intercept it.
The gate is close at hand, but why would anyone be there?In the darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes showed surprise, but it was fleeting.There is hardly any cushioning or hesitation, and the body and limbs shift direction naturally.
How could it be possible for you to escape?A red light flashed in front of her eyes, and Yin Danlu swung her long whip without hesitation, hitting the opponent's hind legs.Hearing a muffled groan, the black figure staggered a few times, then continued to run forward.Yin Danlu immediately chased after him, seeing the opponent's running posture, he knew that the enemy had been injured.And in front of it is another gate of Cold Rain City. That gate is parallel to the main gate, and it is specially used for the entry and exit of garbage trucks.At this time, there is still half an hour before the city gate opens.
Seeing the black figure approaching the city gate, Yun Xue suddenly changed direction and headed for another city gate.Immediately afterwards, the man standing at the city gate also joined the chasing team.It knew that Sombra had been injured, so he couldn't run for long.As a result, he unconsciously accelerated the speed under his feet.
The bloodshot eyes were squinting in pain, and the hind legs were bleeding, though not yet massively.However, it is difficult to jump out of the city gate with such an injury. The gate parallel to the main city gate can be opened in half an hour.If you can escape from there, you can run farther just out of the city.
Enduring the pain and quickening his pace, he suddenly felt something moving above his head.Looking up at the sky, there is a big bird flying above his head.The size of the big bird was already hundreds of times larger than that of ordinary birds, and those pair of wings almost covered the entire sky as far as his sight could see.Like a huge dark cloud, covering the only light.
Yin Danlu saw consternation in those blood-red eyes, and he was very satisfied with the other party's expression.Just when the other party hadn't recovered, Yin Danlu suddenly rushed towards Soi Ying.The sharp claws were accurately buckled on the opponent's body. Judging from the human body parts, it should be the shoulders.
With a shrill scream, the black shadow fell down powerlessly.Yunxue rushed forward with a stride, and landed right in front of the black shadow.The heavy clouds began to dissipate, and faint light shone through the edges of the clouds.Yun Xue squinted her black eyes, looking at the black figure gradually showing her figure in front of her eyes.
"I think you need to explain what's going on." Yin Danlu regained her human form before the light completely enveloped her, and stood there with her arms folded. "Also, can you all return to your human form? It's almost dawn."
"How did you come?"
"Can you not come? Are you allowed to act like this? If something happens, what will you tell Lu Li to do?"
Hearing Lu Li's name, Jinse's expression became a little sad.Yin Danlu felt that she had said something wrong, so she quickly changed the topic.
"Red Flame Beast? It seems we need an explanation."
The bright red blood stained the silvery white hair, glaring under the cold moonlight.The Scarlet Flame Beast, which was powerless due to the injury, was lying on the ground with its eyes closed, its heavy breathing especially clear in the silent dawn.
"Hey, do you want to be caught for viewing?"
Yin Danlu frowned, and kicked the Red Flame Beast's back unceremoniously.The Scarlet Flame Beast finally opened its eyes. The injury on his shoulder made him grit his teeth, while the injury on his leg made him unable to stand up.
"Yeah!" With a muffled grunt, he glanced at Yin Danlu with blood-red eyes, "Thank you for your whip and claws, if you want me to get up, I'm afraid you have to help me."
Yin Danlu sighed, and rudely pulled the red flame beast that had turned into a human from the ground, and the sound of the other party gasping for air rang in his ears.
"Jinse, I'm afraid I can only go back to your current residence first."
Shangguan Jinghong was used to getting up early, no matter how tired he was, he would always wake up at this hour, and today was no exception.After washing and changing clothes, she realized that Yun Xue was not lying on the bed.I wondered if I ran somewhere to play, but I heard a knock on the door.
A piece of the door panel of Jishi Hall was dismantled, Shangguan Jinghong stood there in amazement, forgetting to put down the door panel in his hand.
"Sorry, my friend got into a fight with some drunks late last night and was injured. Please take a look."
The young man with crimson-red long hair in front of him was standing at the door with a silver-haired young man on his back. The young man's body was stained with blood, and he seemed to have been severely beaten.And beside them was squatting a snow-white fox.
"Yunxue? You brought them here?"
Seeing Yunxue, Shangguan Jinghong immediately dropped the door panel and picked it up.
"My friend and I came to Cold Rain City for the first time. I saw that he was seriously injured, but I didn't know where there was a medical clinic. I happened to see this little fox. It kept asking us to follow it, so we came here."
"So that's the case, then come in first."
Although Shangguan Jinghong was somewhat surprised by this bizarre story, the wounded man was real.Of course, the fox itself is a spiritual animal, if it is really Yunxue who lured them to Jishitang, it seems to make sense.
"Doctor, how is my friend?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just some skin trauma. It's just that the wound is deep and the blood loss is too much. I've already applied medicine to him, and he will recover after a few days of recuperation." Shangguan Jinghong explained while packing his things. "I'll grab some medicines for him later, remember twice a day."
"Then thank you doctor." The red-haired young man thanked her with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be a female doctor."
"Huh? Oh, there are not many female doctors."
Shangguan Jinghong smiled, and left the consultation room with the medicine box.
"I don't need human medicine."
The Red Flame Beast, whose eyes were still closed, spoke weakly.
"You really don't need it, but I think that female doctor should prescribe you a medicine for your brain."
Yin Danlu said in a cold tone.
"Shangguan Jinghong should be visiting the doctor today, and we will have a day to listen to your explanation later."
Jinse, who still maintains the figure of a fox, looks coldly at the red flame beast lying on the bed.
After breakfast, Shangguan Jinghong went to see the doctor with a medicine box on his back, and specially prepared lunch for Yun Xue before leaving.
"It seems that you are having a good day."
Yin Danlu glanced at the lunch on the table, it was some shredded chicken.
"Just happened to meet nice people."
"By coincidence? I thought you smelled the same thing as me, no, you smelled something like us."
Yin Danlu glanced at the silver-haired young man lying on the bed, but the latter just pretended not to hear.
"Red Flame Beast... Among the Eight Desolations, there is only the Luo clan. And when you attacked me last night, you used the transformed Samadhi True Fire. Among the Luo clan, there is only one person who has this ability. Luo Honglian."
Jinse finished the chicken in a leisurely manner, her dark eyes fixed on the silver-haired young man.Although he didn't respond, Yin Danlu caught the answer in his eyes.
"Luo Honglian, the things are with you."
"what."
"Stop pretending, you were the one who sneaked into Shangguan's study last night."
Jinse took human form and stood by the window, watching Shangguan Jinghong's figure disappear into the street.
"Hmph, are you so sure?"
He retorted in his mouth, but unconsciously held the bitten arm.
"Some things cannot be concealed." Jinse glanced at Luo Honglian's arm, "Shangguan's is blood jade, and that thing is not as gentle as Cangyu."
"His blood is good bait."
Yin Danlu pulled Luo Honglian's injured arm, completely ignoring his low cries caused by pain, and tore off the bandage neatly.The bloody bandage fell off layer by layer, revealing the wound with tooth marks, and the blood that was finally stopped began to ooze through the applied herbs again.
"Let go... I said, let go!"
Luo Honglian yelled in panic, but the injured herself couldn't break free from Yin Danlu's restraint due to exhaustion.Struggling hard just made the wound bigger and increased blood loss.Jinse frowned at Yin Danlu's rude action, and for a moment she wanted to stop it, but thinking of Lu Li, she firmly chose to watch.Until Luo Honglian's chest flashed red light.
"Enough! Let him go!"
While Jinse loudly stopped Yin Danlu from expanding the wound, she reached out to Luo Honglian's chest.
"Is it this?"
Jinse looked at the wooden box in her hand, and the whole box was shrouded in a hazy red halo.
"Don't open it...please..."
Luo Honglian's face showed pleading and panic. He knew what would happen after the box was opened. After all, he was too weak at this time, but he didn't want to die so early.
"Why not? Only when you open it will you know if it's Blood Jade Linglong."
Taking advantage of Jinse's stunned moment, Yin Danlu snatched the wooden box with her hands, and unceremoniously opened the lid.
"what--!"
Following Luo Honglian's shrill scream, four finger-thick blood columns gushed out from the wound on his arm, and these blood columns seemed to be attracted by Yu Linglong in the wooden box.The originally faint red light of Blood Jade Linglong also became more intense.
"Stop it!"
The scream, which was almost heartbroken, brought back Jinse's wandering spirit, and she slammed the wooden box shut.The last trace of blood was quickly sucked into the wooden box, and the red light dimmed a bit.
"Re-bandage him."
Yin Danlu silently brought the herbs and bandages. Luo Honglian, who had lost too much blood, was pale, and beads of sweat dripped from her forehead. The white obscene clothes on her body were almost drenched with sweat, revealing her fair skin.
Shangguan Jinghong went to see Liu's family on West Street with a medicine box on his back. The youngest son of Liu's family fell from a tree due to naughtiness and broke his calf.Fortunately, he was caught by a servant halfway, so he didn't fall harder.Shangguan Jinghong looked at the injuries, only the bones were broken and the skin was scratched.It's all right.
"Madam, the young master has a broken bone and cannot move for a period of time, so he must rest in bed. In addition, these ointments are changed every three days, and the diet should be light."
"Miss Shangguan, thank you very much."
Mrs. Liu ordered the girl to take the ointment and send the consultation fee.
"I will come back for a follow-up visit in a few days. If the broken bone grows smoothly, then there will be no problem."
"I'm sorry, Miss Shangguan."
Mrs. Liu was busy visiting her youngest son, so Mr. Liu took the housekeeper to send Shangguan Jinghong out of the house.Originally, after the affairs of the Liu family were over, Shangguan Jinghong had to go to the ginseng medicine shop on East Street to buy some ginseng, but for some reason, the faces of those two young people suddenly flashed in his mind.She always felt that things were a little strange, if they really happened in the middle of the night, then why did Yunxue go out in the middle of the night?Is it just for fun?In addition, Yunxue seems to be very concerned about the study, but why is a fox interested in the study?The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, Shangguan Jinghong carried the medicine box on his back, and trotted all the way back to Jishitang.
"You...you've already got your things...it's okay...I, I want to leave..."
Luo Honglian was so collapsed that she was about to faint, but she still insisted on speaking.
"You haven't explained clearly, we won't let you go."
"What do you want me to explain?"
With blurred eyes, she looked at Yin Danlu who lowered her head to bandage herself.
"You killed Linglong, why did you frame Jinse?"
"No comment.—Ah!"
Yin Danlu firmly shook the bandaged wrist.
"It's come to this point, do you still want to hide it? Speaking of it, Bahuang is rumored that you destroyed the Luo family. I really want to know how the Luo family will deal with it if we send you back to Bahuang like this. Woolen cloth?"
Yin Danlu's words seemed to have some effect, Luo Honglian's already pale face turned pale.He thought of the messy corpses in the lobby of the Luo family, and the blood flowing like a stream.And...that face...
"Luo Honglian, you probably didn't do what happened to the Luo family."
Hearing Jinse's words, Luo Honglian looked at her in astonishment.
"Although the Luo family uses you as a tool, they are related to you in the end, and if there was no help from the previous patriarch, you would not have survived in the Luo family. In any case, it is impossible for you to kill your own clansmen of."
Luo Honglian lowered his head weakly, he thought of the woman who raised him.
"Do you believe me?" He raised his head to look at them again, "But people from Bahuang... Forget it, since you want to know, it's okay to tell you, I'm just completing the task."
"Mission? You have to tell us who made you do it?"
Jin Se released Luo Honglian's wrist from Yin Danlu's hand, and lightly held it in her palm.Luo Honglian felt a warmth coming from the wound on her arm. It was obvious that Jinse was healing herself.
"I framed you, why do you still save me?"
"You are different from Jin Yunhe, there must be a reason for you."
Hearing Jin Yunhe's name, Luo Honglian's eyes suddenly widened.
"Have you seen him?"
"That's a madman at all." Yin Danlu gritted her teeth and said, "Unexpectedly, you are actually with him."
"He's crazy, but I'm not."
"Honglian, are you going to keep hiding it?"
"I'm sorry, I can't say more." Luo Honglian sighed, "I can only tell you that including this Blood Jade Linglong, I have already found four, and there is still one Mo Yu Linglong left."
"Then why did you kill Linglong and Shangguan Jinghong?"
"That's right, I can take Yu Linglong and leave. The reason why I wanted to kill them was also because of Jin Yunhe. That guy's injuries were not serious, and most of the spirit he absorbed was used for healing. In order to get new Spirit, he asked me for help."
"So that's the case, no wonder I can't feel the whereabouts of Linglong's spirit." Jinse said clearly, "But this person can make you and Jinyunhe surrender and be used by him, this person is by no means simple."
"Don't you know who is behind the scenes?"
Yin Danlu looked at Luo Honglian suspiciously.
"I don't know." As soon as Luo Honglian finished speaking, she saw them showing suspicious expressions, "I really don't know, every time I go to see him, there are dozens of layers of white gauze curtains, and judging from his voice, He must have been wearing a mask. That’s why the voice is muffled, and the gender and age can’t be heard at all.”
Luo Honglian explained in a panic, afraid that they would not believe her.
"That's all I can say, and I don't know anything more than what I can't say."
"But what about Linglong?"
Jinse glanced at Luo Honglian, who looked downcast, and asked.
"We still have to say it was the work of the fox demon. At worst, just catch a fox to make up for it."
"you……"
Luo Honglian looked at them in astonishment, thinking that she would be handed over as a prisoner.
"You are still useful to us."
Yin Danlu twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a malicious smile.
Across the door of the consulting room, Shangguan Jinghong stood there in a daze.She couldn't believe what she heard. There were only two young people and Yun Xue in it, but why was there another woman?Also, I seemed to have heard the Blood Jade Linglong before, could it be the thing that my grandfather kept in secret?What the hell is that?Who are the people inside?A series of questions filled his head, and Shangguan Jinghong was so shocked that he almost couldn't think normally.
"You... what did you say just now? Also, who are you?"
Shangguan Jinghong didn't know why he stepped into that room, but her appearance was undoubtedly an accident. The three of them were all focused on the mastermind behind Xueyu Linglong and Honglian, and they didn't notice that there were still people standing there. at the door.
"Where's Yunxue?"
Shangguan Jinghong's face was pale, but her eyes were cold.
"That... Yunxue it..."
Yin Danlu stuttered suddenly, he didn't know how to tell this woman that the Jinse in front of him was actually Yunxue.
"What is Blood Jade Exquisite?"
Looking at the eyes of the three of them, Shangguan Jinghong knew that he might not be able to get Yun Xue's whereabouts, or this woman in scarlet clothes was Yun Xue.After all, in the legend, many animals can be cultivated into immortals or demons. Who knows if the little fox I picked up back then is among them.So she simply changed the subject.
"Well, it's better that you don't know."
Jinse lowered her eyelids, not daring to meet Shangguan Jinghong's piercing gaze.
"I don't know who it originally belonged to, but since I was sensible, Xueyu Linglong belonged to the Shangguan family. Since it has been passed down in our family for three generations, I think I have the right to know its origin."
Shangguan Jinghong's words did have some truth, and Jinse suddenly had no words to refute.She raised her head and glanced at Yin Danlu, her eyes seemed to be asking, do you want to say something?Yin Danlu frowned and looked back, the answer was very vague.It stands to reason that things belong to Shangguan's family, so it's okay to tell her, but she is a human being, the more she knows about such things, the less beneficial she is.
"Since the girl said that the item belongs to the Shangguan family, do you know how it got there?"
Yin Danlu thought for a while, and decided to inquire first.
"Grandpa once rescued a foreigner, and we don't know where he came from. Anyway, in order to thank Grandpa for saving his life, he gave this Yu Linglong to Grandpa."
"Then did he tell your grandfather how he got this Yu Linglong?"
"It is said to come from an ancient tomb."
"Ancient tomb?" Yin Danlu's expression changed a bit, "Did he mention what kind of ancient tomb it is?"
"On the shore of the West Sea, Moxie Mountain." Shangguan Jinghong tried his best to recall what his grandfather said, "I remember this place."
"Moxie Mountain is adjacent to the West Sea, and it is the barrier of Yuehuang City in Xiling Prefecture. The mountains stretch for thousands of miles, almost isolating the entire West Sea from Kyushu. Moreover, the mountain is dangerous and has the name of supporting the sky."
Yin Danlu recalled that after all, Zhang'e was not far from Xihai, and he was still very familiar with it.
"Moxie Mountain... I remember that Yuehuang City is very special. Because it is the barrier of the far west of Kyushu, there is no government office, but a military center. There is also a city master, which seems to be a title inherited from generation to generation. "
"That's right, there are four city lords and five castle lords in Kyushu, all big families with hereditary titles. And they all have supernatural powers, and there are even some demon hunters among them. The surname of the city lord of Yuehuang City is Dugu,
"Miss Shangguan, thank you."
The village woman took the packaged medicine and thanked the girl opposite.In this dilapidated thatched hut, there was only a bedridden middle-aged man, a ragged village woman and a thin and somewhat dirty boy.A man accidentally fell from a hillside while chopping firewood and broke his leg. He had to rest in bed, and as a result, the family had no rations.Shangguan Jinghong looked at the dull boy for a while, then took out a money bag and a pack of snacks from his pocket.
"Although this amount of money is not much, it should last for a while." Shangguan Jinghong turned to the boy, "These snacks are for you, remember to eat with your parents."
The boy looked at the bag of snacks and swallowed, and looked up at his mother.
"Miss Shangguan, you can't do this. You didn't take any money for our man's medical treatment. How dare we ask for your money and snacks."
The village woman took the boy, but refused to accept him no matter what.
"It doesn't matter, the doctor was originally there to help the world. And I have some skills. But you are different. Now that the uncle is sick, how are you going to support this child? Just take it for the sake of the child."
Shangguan Jinghong involuntarily stuffed the money bag and snacks into the arms of the village woman, turned around and left the thatched hut.After walking briskly for more than an hour, I looked up and saw that the sun had already set to the west. Fortunately, I had already reached the main road, and I could enter the city after walking for a while.Taking time to close the city gate, Shangguan Jinghong trotted all the way back to Cold Rain City.
Cold Rain City is located in the northeast of Beiming State, which can be regarded as the extreme north of Kyushu.As soon as the cold winter comes, Cold Rain City enters a period of hibernation, covered with snow, the rivers and the earth are frozen, and people no longer work.This kind of hibernation will continue until Grain Rain. From this day onwards, there will be heavy rain in Cold Rain City for several days. The rain seems to carry cold air, and the skin will turn red due to the cold air when touched by hands.But after the rain stops and the sun rises, the temperature rises and everything comes alive again.
On the South Street of Hanyu City, there is a pharmacy called "Jishitang".This medicine shop is the ancestral shop of the Shangguan family, and it has been passed down to Shangguan Jinghong for the fifth generation.Originally, the Shangguan family's medical skills were passed on from male to female, but in Shangguan Jinghong's generation, changes have taken place.The Shangguan family was passed down from generation to generation, but Shangguan Jinghong's father only gave birth to one daughter.In addition, Shangguan Jinghong's mother passed away early, and his father, who was devoted to his mother, refused to reunite no matter what.In this way, the successor of the Shangguan family became a problem.Fortunately, Shangguan Jinghong's grandfather was an extremely enlightened person, so he simply changed the family rules.From then on, Shangguan Jinghong studied medicine with his grandfather and father.
Since his grandfather and father passed away one after another, Shangguan Jinghong has been in charge of Jishitang by himself for some years.In addition to going to the doctor and sitting in the hall every day, I go out to collect medicine.When I came back from outside the city today, I was just in time to close the city gate. If the guards guarding the city gate were not familiar with me, I might really have to sleep outside the city.Although it was already late at night, Shangguan Jinghong was still carrying a lantern and inspecting the medicinal materials in the pharmacy.
Counting the days, Grain Rain has passed for half a month, and the weather has become much warmer.I haven't been able to go to the mountains to collect herbs all winter, and the herbs in the shop seem to be insufficient.Shangguan Jinghong thought in his heart that he should go to Yunfeng to gather some medicinal materials tomorrow.Thinking about the names of the medicines to be collected all the way, he reached the door of the study before he knew it, and Shangguan Jinghong stopped unconsciously.It seemed that through a door, she could feel the strange power in the room.
Inside the light yellow sarong, candles were burning brightly.Shangguan Jinghong lit the candle on the desk with the help of the candle in the lantern.Under the flickering candlelight, there is an elongated figure, following the direction of the figure, one can see the other side of the study.There are four paintings on the wall at the end - plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.Shangguan Jinghong lifted one of them, twisted the round switch at the bottom, and a drawer popped out.There was a red sandalwood box in the drawer, Shangguan Jinghong carefully opened the box, and there was a blood red Yu Linglong inside.Shangguan Jinghong looked at it carefully, she still remembered that her grandfather got it from a foreigner.The grandfather cured the strange disease of the foreigner, and this Yu Linglong was given to the grandfather as a reward.But three months after the grandfather got Yu Linglong, he suddenly decided to hide it here. As for the reason, the grandfather kept silent.
Under the candlelight, Yu Linglong looked coquettish, the blood red made Shangguan Jinghong a little dizzy, and the moment he felt that his sanity was about to be pulled away, Shangguan Jinghong slammed the box shut.She kept taking deep breaths, trying to calm down her beating heart.Could this be why grandfather wanted to hide?When his mood gradually stabilized, Shangguan Jinghong began to think about the reason why his grandfather kept the secret in the first place.Glancing at the box in his hand, Shangguan Jinghong put it back in a panic and hurried back to his room.
In the early morning, Yunfeng is shrouded in layers of clouds and mist, the sun shines a piece of light on the clouds and mist, and the vegetation in the mountains is still condensed with morning dew.Yunfeng is most famous for Yunmiao, a small and agile deer with cloud-shaped patterns evenly distributed on its tawny body.They can run and jump lightly among the shapeless mountain paths on Yunfeng, and feel ethereal in the sea of clouds, hence the name Yunmiao.The skylark in the mountains can only be seen in Yunfeng. This kind of white bird, which is only the size of a human palm, is called a skylark because it only appears in Yunfeng.The skylark is not big in stature, but it has tail feathers of the same length as its body.In addition, there are many kinds of snakes in Yunfeng, so there are many herbs on Yunfeng, and there are even some rare species.
Shangguan Jinghong knows Yunfeng very well, she can clearly identify every mountain road, every stone, every tree, and today is no exception.
Climbing up the mountain path to the south of Yunfeng, and finding the herbs he wanted, Shangguan Jinghong skillfully began to pick them.When she came to the top of the mountain, it happened to be noon.With the water in the bamboo tube, she ate the biscuits for lunch neatly.When he got up and was about to go down another mountain path, he saw a white mass lying in the bushes.Shangguan Jinghong looked up curiously, and vaguely saw that it was a white fox.He reached out and touched the raised ear, but there seemed to be no response, so he boldly poked it again.This time the ear suddenly moved, and then the white ball stretched a little.This white fox has a slender body and a medium build, with a pair of black eyes looking straight at Shangguan Jinghong.
"Why are you here?"
Shangguan Jinghong asked curiously, the fox sniffed at her, then suddenly squinted and rubbed against the back of her hand.
"Are you hungry? But I have nothing to eat." Shangguan Jinghong touched his body, and there was no food. "Will you go home with me?"
The fox seemed to understand, stood up and lay on Shangguan Jinghong's lap.
"Mr. Lu is still playing the piano in the yard. I found that in the past month, he has been playing the piano for a longer time every day."
Yueying stood in front of the window, looking at the back of Lu Li playing the piano from a distance.
"Jinse's departure is so unclear, Lu Li must feel uncomfortable." Yin Danlu put his arms around Yueying's shoulders, "It would be great if we could know the location of the next Yu Linglong sooner."
"Speaking of which, can't we sense Yu Linglong?"
"This is Kyushu, which is different from the wild world. The human breath will disturb us. Unless Yu Linglong is very close to us, it is easy to misidentify."
"So, you should have a general direction?"
"Well, I plan to set off tomorrow to find out. I always feel uneasy that you stay and take care of Lu Li."
Shangguan Jinghong used some straw and old clothes to build a sleeping bunk in his bedroom.The fox stood aside, watching her rushing in and out curiously.
"Okay, little fox. This is where you'll sleep."
She patted the sleeping berth a few times, and said to the fox with satisfaction.The fox looked at her, walked around the bed, stepped on it carefully with its front paws, and then stood up.
"How is it? Very comfortable."
The fox was lying on the bunk, looking up at Shangguan Jinghong.
"Since you have already laid down on the bed, I will consider you satisfied." Shangguan Jinghong smiled and touched the fox's head, "I should give you a name. Let me call you... Yunxue."
Shangguan Jinghong tilted his head and thought for a while and said.
"Look, I met you on Yunfeng, and you are a snow-white fox. The name Yunxue suits you very well. By the way, my name is Shangguan Jinghong."
He was talking to Yun Xue to himself, but there was a shout from outside.Shangguan Jinghong heard the voice of the little girl from the Li family next door, hurriedly agreed and left the room, and ran to the shop in front.Yun Xue's ears moved a few times, and she heard the footsteps gradually drifting away.Immediately quickly jumped off the bed and ran out of the room.
As Yun Xue walked, she looked at every room she passed. In fact, the courtyard of Shangguan Jinghong's house is not big.This house is a typical building with front and backyards. The backyard is a small courtyard with two entrances. The second entrance is a study room, three bedrooms, and a living room.The study on the left is adjacent to the bedroom of Shangguan Jinghong's grandfather, and opposite is the bedroom of Shangguan Jinghong's parents and her boudoir.The living room is facing a screen wall in the courtyard. By going around the screen wall, you can see the courtyard wall used to divide the two courtyards. Through the round moon gate in the middle of the courtyard wall, you are the first to enter the courtyard.On the left is the medicinal materials warehouse, and on the right is the pharmacy. The open space in the middle is filled with bamboo racks and bamboo sieves for drying herbs.Going forward, walking through a small door is Jishitang's pharmacy.
Yun Xue circled around twice, and finally stopped at the door of the study.It wrinkled its nose and seemed to sense something.He raised his front paws and pushed the door of the study, and entered the study through the gap that was exposed.Standing in the middle of the room, Yunxue raised her head and sniffed the air, and soon her eyes fell on the four paintings hanging in the study.Just as he was about to lift his feet and move, he felt his body lighten, and then he smelled the aroma of herbs.
"This is Grandpa's study, you can't just randomly enter it."
Yun Xue turned her head and met Shang Shangguan's startled eyes.
"I bought a chicken back, and I heard people say that foxes eat meat." Shangguan Jinghong laughed, "I'll make it for you later."
As she spoke, she carried Yun Xue back to the bedroom, and when she was about to leave the room, Yun Xue's gaze returned to the four paintings again.
It has been four days since Yin Danlu left Wuweiju, and he has been heading north all the way based on his feeling.On the way, he also noticed some strange auras. Although he had already guessed that it was close to ten, he didn't want to startle the snake.Maybe this trip can not only find what I'm looking for, but also lead to the real culprit, and more importantly, it can solve the dilemma of inaction.Thinking of this, Yin Danlu narrowed her scarlet eyes, exerted a little force on her feet, the thick trunk shook, and a few leaves fell.
Yunxue lived in Shangguan's house for more than ten days. During these days, Shangguan Jinghong mostly dried medicine or made medicines in the yard, and did not make many visits to the doctor, basically sitting in Jishitang for consultation.As a result, Yunxue's chances of approaching the study were much reduced.It can only watch from a distance, but even so, it can still feel something strange.
In the late night of the No. 16 day where Yunxue lived, Yunxue, who was curled up on the bed, seemed to hear something, her ears moved slightly, and her body quickly sprang out of the open window.The moonlight this night was blocked by thick clouds, but this did not affect Yunxue's ability to see the scene in the dark clearly.
The door of the study was opened, it heard the sound of paper being lifted, and then something seemed to be opened.Yunxue hid in the corner and watched for a while, flicked her tail behind her, and then jumped to catch up with her.The man seemed to have noticed Yun Xue, and while speeding up his pace, he attacked Yun Xue.Dodging the opponent's attack deftly, Yunxue rushed up like an arrow from the string, biting the opponent's arm.
The sudden attack caught the other party off guard, and after throwing Yun Xue away forcefully, he fled forward in a hurry.But Yunxue didn't want him to escape, she jumped out of the bedroom lightly, and followed the other person's figure.
Yin Danlu raised her head and looked at the sky, the night tonight was too dark, at first it was just the clouds that blocked the moonlight, but now the whole sky is dark, even the little stars that were shining just now are gone.Yin Danlu couldn't help frowning and staring for a while, feeling a sense of uneasiness rising in her heart.The front is Cold Rain City, the city gate has already been closed at this hour, but this will not cause trouble to Yin Danlu.
In the dark night, a big bluish-white bird flew over the city wall, and when it landed, it turned into a young man with long crimson hair.Yin Danlu easily entered Cold Rain City.
The streets of Cold Rain City looked extremely deserted in the dark night, and the deserted streets seemed to be blown by wind.There was the sound of trampling on the road paved with bluestone slabs, one was light and fast, while the other was slightly heavy and panicked.The two voices headed for the gate of Cold Rain City one after the other.
Yin Danlu stood upright in front of the city gate, he heard the sound of the wind, there was a murderous intent hidden in the sound, but there were two different breaths.Soon, the murderous wind rushed towards him, and there were two figures running towards him in the darkness.No, it should be said that they are coming towards the city gate.
Yunxue didn't dare to stand still in the slightest, flashing like white lightning on the streets of Cold Rain City.The black figure in front changed as it passed through the alley. Although it was impossible to identify what it was from behind in such a dark night, it was definitely not an ordinary beast.Yun Xue narrowed her dark eyes, and there was a killing intent in them.
Jumping out from another alley, Yunxue knew that she was running on the West Street of Cold Rain City, and the current direction was heading towards the city gate.When approaching the city gate, Yun Xue vaguely saw someone standing there in the darkness.
The chasing figure in front was getting closer and closer, and Chiwu was firmly held in his hand. Although Yin Danlu didn't know which one was the enemy, he knew very well that he only needed to intercept it.
The gate is close at hand, but why would anyone be there?In the darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes showed surprise, but it was fleeting.There is hardly any cushioning or hesitation, and the body and limbs shift direction naturally.
How could it be possible for you to escape?A red light flashed in front of her eyes, and Yin Danlu swung her long whip without hesitation, hitting the opponent's hind legs.Hearing a muffled groan, the black figure staggered a few times, then continued to run forward.Yin Danlu immediately chased after him, seeing the opponent's running posture, he knew that the enemy had been injured.And in front of it is another gate of Cold Rain City. That gate is parallel to the main gate, and it is specially used for the entry and exit of garbage trucks.At this time, there is still half an hour before the city gate opens.
Seeing the black figure approaching the city gate, Yun Xue suddenly changed direction and headed for another city gate.Immediately afterwards, the man standing at the city gate also joined the chasing team.It knew that Sombra had been injured, so he couldn't run for long.As a result, he unconsciously accelerated the speed under his feet.
The bloodshot eyes were squinting in pain, and the hind legs were bleeding, though not yet massively.However, it is difficult to jump out of the city gate with such an injury. The gate parallel to the main city gate can be opened in half an hour.If you can escape from there, you can run farther just out of the city.
Enduring the pain and quickening his pace, he suddenly felt something moving above his head.Looking up at the sky, there is a big bird flying above his head.The size of the big bird was already hundreds of times larger than that of ordinary birds, and those pair of wings almost covered the entire sky as far as his sight could see.Like a huge dark cloud, covering the only light.
Yin Danlu saw consternation in those blood-red eyes, and he was very satisfied with the other party's expression.Just when the other party hadn't recovered, Yin Danlu suddenly rushed towards Soi Ying.The sharp claws were accurately buckled on the opponent's body. Judging from the human body parts, it should be the shoulders.
With a shrill scream, the black shadow fell down powerlessly.Yunxue rushed forward with a stride, and landed right in front of the black shadow.The heavy clouds began to dissipate, and faint light shone through the edges of the clouds.Yun Xue squinted her black eyes, looking at the black figure gradually showing her figure in front of her eyes.
"I think you need to explain what's going on." Yin Danlu regained her human form before the light completely enveloped her, and stood there with her arms folded. "Also, can you all return to your human form? It's almost dawn."
"How did you come?"
"Can you not come? Are you allowed to act like this? If something happens, what will you tell Lu Li to do?"
Hearing Lu Li's name, Jinse's expression became a little sad.Yin Danlu felt that she had said something wrong, so she quickly changed the topic.
"Red Flame Beast? It seems we need an explanation."
The bright red blood stained the silvery white hair, glaring under the cold moonlight.The Scarlet Flame Beast, which was powerless due to the injury, was lying on the ground with its eyes closed, its heavy breathing especially clear in the silent dawn.
"Hey, do you want to be caught for viewing?"
Yin Danlu frowned, and kicked the Red Flame Beast's back unceremoniously.The Scarlet Flame Beast finally opened its eyes. The injury on his shoulder made him grit his teeth, while the injury on his leg made him unable to stand up.
"Yeah!" With a muffled grunt, he glanced at Yin Danlu with blood-red eyes, "Thank you for your whip and claws, if you want me to get up, I'm afraid you have to help me."
Yin Danlu sighed, and rudely pulled the red flame beast that had turned into a human from the ground, and the sound of the other party gasping for air rang in his ears.
"Jinse, I'm afraid I can only go back to your current residence first."
Shangguan Jinghong was used to getting up early, no matter how tired he was, he would always wake up at this hour, and today was no exception.After washing and changing clothes, she realized that Yun Xue was not lying on the bed.I wondered if I ran somewhere to play, but I heard a knock on the door.
A piece of the door panel of Jishi Hall was dismantled, Shangguan Jinghong stood there in amazement, forgetting to put down the door panel in his hand.
"Sorry, my friend got into a fight with some drunks late last night and was injured. Please take a look."
The young man with crimson-red long hair in front of him was standing at the door with a silver-haired young man on his back. The young man's body was stained with blood, and he seemed to have been severely beaten.And beside them was squatting a snow-white fox.
"Yunxue? You brought them here?"
Seeing Yunxue, Shangguan Jinghong immediately dropped the door panel and picked it up.
"My friend and I came to Cold Rain City for the first time. I saw that he was seriously injured, but I didn't know where there was a medical clinic. I happened to see this little fox. It kept asking us to follow it, so we came here."
"So that's the case, then come in first."
Although Shangguan Jinghong was somewhat surprised by this bizarre story, the wounded man was real.Of course, the fox itself is a spiritual animal, if it is really Yunxue who lured them to Jishitang, it seems to make sense.
"Doctor, how is my friend?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just some skin trauma. It's just that the wound is deep and the blood loss is too much. I've already applied medicine to him, and he will recover after a few days of recuperation." Shangguan Jinghong explained while packing his things. "I'll grab some medicines for him later, remember twice a day."
"Then thank you doctor." The red-haired young man thanked her with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be a female doctor."
"Huh? Oh, there are not many female doctors."
Shangguan Jinghong smiled, and left the consultation room with the medicine box.
"I don't need human medicine."
The Red Flame Beast, whose eyes were still closed, spoke weakly.
"You really don't need it, but I think that female doctor should prescribe you a medicine for your brain."
Yin Danlu said in a cold tone.
"Shangguan Jinghong should be visiting the doctor today, and we will have a day to listen to your explanation later."
Jinse, who still maintains the figure of a fox, looks coldly at the red flame beast lying on the bed.
After breakfast, Shangguan Jinghong went to see the doctor with a medicine box on his back, and specially prepared lunch for Yun Xue before leaving.
"It seems that you are having a good day."
Yin Danlu glanced at the lunch on the table, it was some shredded chicken.
"Just happened to meet nice people."
"By coincidence? I thought you smelled the same thing as me, no, you smelled something like us."
Yin Danlu glanced at the silver-haired young man lying on the bed, but the latter just pretended not to hear.
"Red Flame Beast... Among the Eight Desolations, there is only the Luo clan. And when you attacked me last night, you used the transformed Samadhi True Fire. Among the Luo clan, there is only one person who has this ability. Luo Honglian."
Jinse finished the chicken in a leisurely manner, her dark eyes fixed on the silver-haired young man.Although he didn't respond, Yin Danlu caught the answer in his eyes.
"Luo Honglian, the things are with you."
"what."
"Stop pretending, you were the one who sneaked into Shangguan's study last night."
Jinse took human form and stood by the window, watching Shangguan Jinghong's figure disappear into the street.
"Hmph, are you so sure?"
He retorted in his mouth, but unconsciously held the bitten arm.
"Some things cannot be concealed." Jinse glanced at Luo Honglian's arm, "Shangguan's is blood jade, and that thing is not as gentle as Cangyu."
"His blood is good bait."
Yin Danlu pulled Luo Honglian's injured arm, completely ignoring his low cries caused by pain, and tore off the bandage neatly.The bloody bandage fell off layer by layer, revealing the wound with tooth marks, and the blood that was finally stopped began to ooze through the applied herbs again.
"Let go... I said, let go!"
Luo Honglian yelled in panic, but the injured herself couldn't break free from Yin Danlu's restraint due to exhaustion.Struggling hard just made the wound bigger and increased blood loss.Jinse frowned at Yin Danlu's rude action, and for a moment she wanted to stop it, but thinking of Lu Li, she firmly chose to watch.Until Luo Honglian's chest flashed red light.
"Enough! Let him go!"
While Jinse loudly stopped Yin Danlu from expanding the wound, she reached out to Luo Honglian's chest.
"Is it this?"
Jinse looked at the wooden box in her hand, and the whole box was shrouded in a hazy red halo.
"Don't open it...please..."
Luo Honglian's face showed pleading and panic. He knew what would happen after the box was opened. After all, he was too weak at this time, but he didn't want to die so early.
"Why not? Only when you open it will you know if it's Blood Jade Linglong."
Taking advantage of Jinse's stunned moment, Yin Danlu snatched the wooden box with her hands, and unceremoniously opened the lid.
"what--!"
Following Luo Honglian's shrill scream, four finger-thick blood columns gushed out from the wound on his arm, and these blood columns seemed to be attracted by Yu Linglong in the wooden box.The originally faint red light of Blood Jade Linglong also became more intense.
"Stop it!"
The scream, which was almost heartbroken, brought back Jinse's wandering spirit, and she slammed the wooden box shut.The last trace of blood was quickly sucked into the wooden box, and the red light dimmed a bit.
"Re-bandage him."
Yin Danlu silently brought the herbs and bandages. Luo Honglian, who had lost too much blood, was pale, and beads of sweat dripped from her forehead. The white obscene clothes on her body were almost drenched with sweat, revealing her fair skin.
Shangguan Jinghong went to see Liu's family on West Street with a medicine box on his back. The youngest son of Liu's family fell from a tree due to naughtiness and broke his calf.Fortunately, he was caught by a servant halfway, so he didn't fall harder.Shangguan Jinghong looked at the injuries, only the bones were broken and the skin was scratched.It's all right.
"Madam, the young master has a broken bone and cannot move for a period of time, so he must rest in bed. In addition, these ointments are changed every three days, and the diet should be light."
"Miss Shangguan, thank you very much."
Mrs. Liu ordered the girl to take the ointment and send the consultation fee.
"I will come back for a follow-up visit in a few days. If the broken bone grows smoothly, then there will be no problem."
"I'm sorry, Miss Shangguan."
Mrs. Liu was busy visiting her youngest son, so Mr. Liu took the housekeeper to send Shangguan Jinghong out of the house.Originally, after the affairs of the Liu family were over, Shangguan Jinghong had to go to the ginseng medicine shop on East Street to buy some ginseng, but for some reason, the faces of those two young people suddenly flashed in his mind.She always felt that things were a little strange, if they really happened in the middle of the night, then why did Yunxue go out in the middle of the night?Is it just for fun?In addition, Yunxue seems to be very concerned about the study, but why is a fox interested in the study?The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, Shangguan Jinghong carried the medicine box on his back, and trotted all the way back to Jishitang.
"You...you've already got your things...it's okay...I, I want to leave..."
Luo Honglian was so collapsed that she was about to faint, but she still insisted on speaking.
"You haven't explained clearly, we won't let you go."
"What do you want me to explain?"
With blurred eyes, she looked at Yin Danlu who lowered her head to bandage herself.
"You killed Linglong, why did you frame Jinse?"
"No comment.—Ah!"
Yin Danlu firmly shook the bandaged wrist.
"It's come to this point, do you still want to hide it? Speaking of it, Bahuang is rumored that you destroyed the Luo family. I really want to know how the Luo family will deal with it if we send you back to Bahuang like this. Woolen cloth?"
Yin Danlu's words seemed to have some effect, Luo Honglian's already pale face turned pale.He thought of the messy corpses in the lobby of the Luo family, and the blood flowing like a stream.And...that face...
"Luo Honglian, you probably didn't do what happened to the Luo family."
Hearing Jinse's words, Luo Honglian looked at her in astonishment.
"Although the Luo family uses you as a tool, they are related to you in the end, and if there was no help from the previous patriarch, you would not have survived in the Luo family. In any case, it is impossible for you to kill your own clansmen of."
Luo Honglian lowered his head weakly, he thought of the woman who raised him.
"Do you believe me?" He raised his head to look at them again, "But people from Bahuang... Forget it, since you want to know, it's okay to tell you, I'm just completing the task."
"Mission? You have to tell us who made you do it?"
Jin Se released Luo Honglian's wrist from Yin Danlu's hand, and lightly held it in her palm.Luo Honglian felt a warmth coming from the wound on her arm. It was obvious that Jinse was healing herself.
"I framed you, why do you still save me?"
"You are different from Jin Yunhe, there must be a reason for you."
Hearing Jin Yunhe's name, Luo Honglian's eyes suddenly widened.
"Have you seen him?"
"That's a madman at all." Yin Danlu gritted her teeth and said, "Unexpectedly, you are actually with him."
"He's crazy, but I'm not."
"Honglian, are you going to keep hiding it?"
"I'm sorry, I can't say more." Luo Honglian sighed, "I can only tell you that including this Blood Jade Linglong, I have already found four, and there is still one Mo Yu Linglong left."
"Then why did you kill Linglong and Shangguan Jinghong?"
"That's right, I can take Yu Linglong and leave. The reason why I wanted to kill them was also because of Jin Yunhe. That guy's injuries were not serious, and most of the spirit he absorbed was used for healing. In order to get new Spirit, he asked me for help."
"So that's the case, no wonder I can't feel the whereabouts of Linglong's spirit." Jinse said clearly, "But this person can make you and Jinyunhe surrender and be used by him, this person is by no means simple."
"Don't you know who is behind the scenes?"
Yin Danlu looked at Luo Honglian suspiciously.
"I don't know." As soon as Luo Honglian finished speaking, she saw them showing suspicious expressions, "I really don't know, every time I go to see him, there are dozens of layers of white gauze curtains, and judging from his voice, He must have been wearing a mask. That’s why the voice is muffled, and the gender and age can’t be heard at all.”
Luo Honglian explained in a panic, afraid that they would not believe her.
"That's all I can say, and I don't know anything more than what I can't say."
"But what about Linglong?"
Jinse glanced at Luo Honglian, who looked downcast, and asked.
"We still have to say it was the work of the fox demon. At worst, just catch a fox to make up for it."
"you……"
Luo Honglian looked at them in astonishment, thinking that she would be handed over as a prisoner.
"You are still useful to us."
Yin Danlu twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a malicious smile.
Across the door of the consulting room, Shangguan Jinghong stood there in a daze.She couldn't believe what she heard. There were only two young people and Yun Xue in it, but why was there another woman?Also, I seemed to have heard the Blood Jade Linglong before, could it be the thing that my grandfather kept in secret?What the hell is that?Who are the people inside?A series of questions filled his head, and Shangguan Jinghong was so shocked that he almost couldn't think normally.
"You... what did you say just now? Also, who are you?"
Shangguan Jinghong didn't know why he stepped into that room, but her appearance was undoubtedly an accident. The three of them were all focused on the mastermind behind Xueyu Linglong and Honglian, and they didn't notice that there were still people standing there. at the door.
"Where's Yunxue?"
Shangguan Jinghong's face was pale, but her eyes were cold.
"That... Yunxue it..."
Yin Danlu stuttered suddenly, he didn't know how to tell this woman that the Jinse in front of him was actually Yunxue.
"What is Blood Jade Exquisite?"
Looking at the eyes of the three of them, Shangguan Jinghong knew that he might not be able to get Yun Xue's whereabouts, or this woman in scarlet clothes was Yun Xue.After all, in the legend, many animals can be cultivated into immortals or demons. Who knows if the little fox I picked up back then is among them.So she simply changed the subject.
"Well, it's better that you don't know."
Jinse lowered her eyelids, not daring to meet Shangguan Jinghong's piercing gaze.
"I don't know who it originally belonged to, but since I was sensible, Xueyu Linglong belonged to the Shangguan family. Since it has been passed down in our family for three generations, I think I have the right to know its origin."
Shangguan Jinghong's words did have some truth, and Jinse suddenly had no words to refute.She raised her head and glanced at Yin Danlu, her eyes seemed to be asking, do you want to say something?Yin Danlu frowned and looked back, the answer was very vague.It stands to reason that things belong to Shangguan's family, so it's okay to tell her, but she is a human being, the more she knows about such things, the less beneficial she is.
"Since the girl said that the item belongs to the Shangguan family, do you know how it got there?"
Yin Danlu thought for a while, and decided to inquire first.
"Grandpa once rescued a foreigner, and we don't know where he came from. Anyway, in order to thank Grandpa for saving his life, he gave this Yu Linglong to Grandpa."
"Then did he tell your grandfather how he got this Yu Linglong?"
"It is said to come from an ancient tomb."
"Ancient tomb?" Yin Danlu's expression changed a bit, "Did he mention what kind of ancient tomb it is?"
"On the shore of the West Sea, Moxie Mountain." Shangguan Jinghong tried his best to recall what his grandfather said, "I remember this place."
"Moxie Mountain is adjacent to the West Sea, and it is the barrier of Yuehuang City in Xiling Prefecture. The mountains stretch for thousands of miles, almost isolating the entire West Sea from Kyushu. Moreover, the mountain is dangerous and has the name of supporting the sky."
Yin Danlu recalled that after all, Zhang'e was not far from Xihai, and he was still very familiar with it.
"Moxie Mountain... I remember that Yuehuang City is very special. Because it is the barrier of the far west of Kyushu, there is no government office, but a military center. There is also a city master, which seems to be a title inherited from generation to generation. "
"That's right, there are four city lords and five castle lords in Kyushu, all big families with hereditary titles. And they all have supernatural powers, and there are even some demon hunters among them. The surname of the city lord of Yuehuang City is Dugu,
