The Lotus Lantern is with you

In the silent hall, a man stood with one hand behind his back at the window, the dim light cast a shadow on his face for a year.

"Still haven't found it?" Mo Chen shouted coldly, his deep eyes were full of frost.

"Returning to the master, the subordinate has expanded the scope to the entire mortal world, but there is still no sign of Miss Xiaoyu."

Mo Chen tightly clenched his fists, his veins bulging.

He had already guessed that his sister might really be dead, but he was unwilling to see it with his own eyes.

"Let me check again!"

These words were almost squeezed out between his teeth. Whenever this happened, he was always afraid. He was afraid that the news of his sister still hadn't disappeared, but he was even more afraid of the news that she had died.

His parents were already dead, and he couldn't let his only sister die again.

But there is one thing that Mo Chen still can't understand. If his parents were just burned to death by the fire, why would they be scattered?Those strange fires are not enough to burn their souls.

There was a glint of light in Mo Chen's dark eyes. He only knew that Yang Chan died of being attacked by a corpse poison after losing all his mana. His father also contracted a serious disease, but what if there are some other secrets behind it?

Suddenly, another spy appeared and knelt on the ground, "Master, the fourth princess of the East China Sea is begging to see you."

Ao Tingxin?Isn't she practicing in closed doors?

Mo Chen was puzzled, but what kind of plan was he planning to come to him at this time?Mo Chen's face darkened, but he quickly adjusted his expression, and walked out without losing his composure.

Outside the hall, the blond woman in a fiery red dragon pattern floor-to-ceiling dress leaned sideways, with her spine straight and proud.When Mo Chen walked into her, the woman turned sideways slowly, her beautiful face was glamorous without makeup, and there was a little fiery red pattern between her eyebrows, revealing a trace of coldness.

"Fourth princess..." Mo Chen didn't call her fourth aunt. Now that the three realms know that he has been expelled from the house, how can he call the other party's fourth aunt? ?”

While speaking, he had already led Ao Tingxin into the water pavilion in the courtyard. He asked the woman to sit opposite him in a distant yet respectful manner, and called Shikigami to bring him some fruit and snacks.

"Mr. Mo, this princess just came here to ask you one thing."

The woman said lightly, never mentioning Sanshengmu and Liu Yanchang.Mo Chen tapped on the table, curiously said, "I don't know why the fourth princess came here in person, if I can do it, I will definitely help."

"...Mr. Mo, Ting Xin wants to ask you to persuade my younger brother to return to the East China Sea..."

Although Ao Tingxin is in seclusion, she is not ignorant of things outside the window, and every move of the outside world is transmitted to her ears through her servants.

Hearing that Yang Chan and Liu Yanchang had died, she was dazed for half a month before she realized it. The great sadness that came to her face made her unwilling to go out again. She just locked herself up and didn't want to return to the mortal world.

Unexpectedly, God's punishment came down, which brought a lot of turmoil in the East China Sea, and the good wedding ceremony between the younger brother and Ding Xiang was also cancelled.

She didn't see what was going on with her own eyes, but she heard that Ao Chun asked Ding Xiang not to interfere in God's punishment. The two had a big fight, and Ding Xiang was imprisoned in the Dragon Palace by Ao Chun.

Then, Ding's mother passed away, Ding Xiang was very sad, and left the Dragon Palace in a rage.The Dragon King was furious and annulled their marriage, thus making a new wife for his younger brother.

Ao Tingxin didn't know where Ding Xiang had gone, but Ao Chun had been away from the Dragon Palace for three years. Ao Tingxin didn't want to leave the deep sea of ​​the Eastern Sea, but the Dragon King found Ao Tingxin and asked her to take Ao Chun back no matter what.

Only then did Ao Tingxin seek Mo Chen's help.

Hearing this, Mo Chen sipped his tea calmly, "Could it be that the fourth princess has found the wrong person? How would I know where he is? What's more, I heard that he was looking for a mortal in the mortal world, so I'm sure I wouldn't be willing to listen to my advice." .”

As soon as Ao Tingxin heard it, he knew that that mortal was probably Miss Lilac.

"Mr. Mo, why should you underestimate yourself? You and Ao Chun have also been friends for many years. How can you not know where he is? I think if you are willing to persuade him, Ao Chun may not listen to you."

"Fourth princess, do you think he will listen to my advice now?" Mo Chen glanced at her with a half-smile.

The woman's expression changed slightly. After she left the Dragon Palace, she heard a lot of gossip, so she naturally understood what he was referring to.

"..."

"Fourth princess, I've actually seen Ding Xiang before. It's really eye-opening for me to bully a mortal like this." Mo Chen released another bomb, which completely changed the woman's expression.

"I don't want to be involved in the affairs of the East China Sea, and I don't want to know what happened to the East China Sea. Fourth princess, please go back."

The intention to refuse was so obvious that Ao Ting opened his mouth, but was dismissed by the other party's cold eyes.

In all honesty, what my father did this time was a little too much, but if it was really important to say whether a mortal or the East China Sea Dragon Clan was more important, Ao Tingxin might have been hesitant in the past, but now he would definitely choose the Dragon Clan.

Especially, after she found that thing in retreat.

"It's embarrassing Mr. Mo, so I won't bother you." The woman said, seeing that the man's expression was still indifferent, she couldn't help but say again, "It's just that Dong Hai is eager to find my brother, and there is indeed something very important. If Mr. Mo sees I hope I can let you know, Donghai is very grateful..." She said, got up and bowed slightly, and then left under Mo Chen's watch.

Donghai... Mo Chen twirled the jade cup in his hand, thinking about what happened to make this woman go out to find it herself.

……

In the lower realm, it was another year in a blink of an eye.

For the gods, a year is just a matter of opening and closing their eyes, but for mortals, one year can change too much.One year can turn a woman into an indestructible warrior.It is also enough to make a person forget the sadness of the past.

At this time, in a certain village in the border area, the village was sparsely populated, only two or three old people and women barely survived on the small amount of food.

The strong men in the village were drawn into soldiers to defend their homes and the country. They left for four or five years, but now there is no news.

People in the village saw that a stranger suddenly came to this barren and remote village. This man was dressed in a dark green short shirt, black belt, very crisp and neat, and he was dressed like a samurai.

His long hair is all tied up, 'he' looks very handsome, with thin lips and upturned nose, which seems to be a bit feminine, but the coldness in those too sharp and resolute eyes is actually awe-inspiring and faded' He's a little feminine.

'He' sat cross-legged under the tree, holding a sword, holding a dry pancake in his hand and eating it slowly with clear water.The long hair band fluttered gently with the wind, and the cold breath made the curious villagers dare not approach it.

Suddenly, 'he' put away the dry food, frowned and looked at the bright light not far away, and seemed to be able to see a man in blue indistinctly. 'He' sneered, put away his sword, and retreated from the fearful eyes of the villagers.

The next moment, Ao Chun appeared in the village.

He looked around anxiously, asking people in the village from time to time, but he didn't get any news from Ding Xiang, so he closed his eyes in disappointment, his hands hanging powerlessly by his sides, and clenched his fists tightly.

It's been a year, and this time he can't find cloves anyway.

He also went to ask Mo Chen before, but the other party didn't see him behind closed doors, and on the other side, his father kept putting pressure on him.After Ding Xiang left the Dragon Palace, their engagement was canceled, and now he is almost driven crazy.

He didn't understand why Dingxiang cared so much about this mortal world. She was destined to be his wife and a member of the Dragon Clan. Sooner or later, she would know that for a hundred years in the world, the gods are only there for a moment.

Everything in the world is temporary, but they are eternal.But Lilac still left.

She walked very crisply, just like she used to be decisive.

Doesn't she care about him at all?

After exploring the village, there was still no progress, so he could only leave with a cold face.

If she is willing to stay, with his help, she will be able to cultivate the immortal way in less than a hundred years, rank among the immortal class, and be with him forever.

At that time, she can do whatever she wants.

Ordinary people who practice immortality for hundreds of thousands of years may not necessarily be able to achieve immortality, why doesn't she understand?Ao Chun was impatient, thinking that the woman was too capricious this time.

Ao Chun has been looking for her like this for a year, but he never imagined that the woman has lost her identity as a woman, and she is in a place he would never have imagined.

After Ao Chun left the village, Ding Xiang showed her figure.

'He' or she, looked coldly at a long blue dragon whizzing away in the distance.After years of wars, her face has become a bit resolute.Although she has hardly practiced immortal arts, she has found her way in this year, and gradually, her heart has become more and more hardened.

She clenched her long sword tightly, stepped a little, and ran in the opposite direction to Ao Chun.

At this time, the flames of war have engulfed several cities, the plague is prevalent, and countless soldiers and civilians have been injured.Jin is already a twilight old man, just struggling to die.

In the south and north, the Mongolian army and the Southern Song army attacked from both sides.Jin is walking on thin ice, life and death are only a thin line.

Ding Xiang unknowingly walked to the village where she had seen Yang Chan and Liu Yanchang, the place was overgrown with weeds and deserted.Ding Xiang was stunned, she just passed by, but she didn't expect to come to this place.

According to her memory, she pushed through the weeds and finally found the familiar wooden house, which is now full of mess and dilapidated.

I still remember that she ran away from home after having an awkward fight with Ao Chun. Fortunately, she was kindly taken in by them, but Yang Chan would feel sad if she knew that they were still separated now.

Ding Xiang lowered her head in dismay, but felt unspeakably sad.

They are all dead, and the gentle woman who knew how to make cakes in the past is gone.

Ding Xiang walked into the wooden house, opened the wooden door and a gust of dust rushed in. She looked at the familiar layout around her, familiar tables and chairs, familiar cabinets, familiar courtyard... her nose was sore, but she did not shed tears.

"Uncle, Aunt, Ding Xiang shouldn't have left in the first place, really shouldn't have left." Ding Xiang murmured silently, stretching out her sleeve to wipe off the dust on the shelf, which was once neatly filled with medicinal herbs.

Their health is not good, plus the aunt's eyes are blind... Blind!Ding Xiang was shocked. She remembered that Yang Chan said at the time that she just suffered some backlash and would recover soon, but why did she turn into that inhuman and ghost-like appearance afterwards.

Ding Xiang covered her mouth tremblingly, and had a bad guess in her heart. This guess made her terrified, and she stepped back quickly, but accidentally knocked down the shelf, and the originally unstable shelf fell precariously at this time.

A puff of smoke and dust filled the room, and after a long time, Lilac dispersed the surrounding dust, only to see a few dry herbs scattered on the ground, already withered.

She used to know nothing about medicine, but she learned a lot during the three-year war.Looking at these remaining medicinal materials, I was even more startled.These medicinal materials are not simple medicinal materials, some of them are highly poisonous, and some of them are very strong. Why did Sanshengmu take such medicines.

Was she lying to her in the first place?

The more Ding Xiang thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and many concealed details became clear. At that time, she rarely saw Yang Chan during the day, and the only few times were in the early morning or near evening.

Every time they wake up at night, the house of Yang Chan and Liu Yanchang is always brightly lit, but Xiaoyu's whereabouts are even more treacherous.

They were all hiding something from her.Ding Xiang became more and more uneasy, she had a premonition that what they concealed from her might disturb all the peace.

She secretly put the dry and fragmented medicinal herbs scattered on the ground into her sleeves, rode her horse and whipped her horse and galloped towards the village where Yang Chan died.After a whole day, she finally arrived at the entrance of the village, which was so empty that even the sound of a bird could hardly be heard.

Ding Xiang secretly looked around carefully, and found that there was no one, so she walked cautiously towards the village. The place was no longer lively as before, only dead silence.

She carefully searched each room one by one, trying to find some traces left behind, but it was too badly burned here, no matter how much she searched for a day and a night, she didn't find anything useful.

Until a house, the hand attached to the door stopped, and subconsciously, she had an intuition that this was the courtyard where they lived.

She flew into the yard, it was burned by fire, and now there are only ruins and ruins, is there really what she needs here?

Ding Xiang approached the main house lightly, covering her mouth and nose carefully to prevent the dust in the air from getting in.

'Googling' She seemed to have bumped into something, Ding Xiang looked down, and it turned out to be a glass cup, the blue glass cup glowed with beautiful brilliance, but the circle of land where the glass cup fell was smaller than the surrounding circle. The color is much darker.

Ding Xiang leaned over, stretched out her hand and picked up a trace of black sand, and when her fingers touched it, she felt a burning sensation.

What is this!Ding Xiang was shocked, if this piece of blackened sand was collected, it would definitely be a deadly toxin.Why is there such a thing in this ordinary village, and what kind of poison is it?After a few years of separation, the toxicity is still so strong.

She also guessed why this poison appeared in Sanshengmu's house.

She picked up the glazed cup, brought it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it carefully, but there was no smell.The poison should have been spilled from the glazed cup, and since the glazed cup was overturned in the yard, it can only be said that something unexpected happened at that time.

So there is only one question, where did these poisons come from?And who is the master of these poisons?

Lilac caressed the glass cup, a thought flashed across her eyes.
