chronicle of court survival

Going from Lingguang to Liang Guojiu must be easy to cross the water, so Lou Guanxue directly stole a boat lying in the wild.

Wupeng boats go east along the river and merge into the river and sea. The two sides of the river gradually turn into vast green hills, and the river is full of reeds and flowers.

Sure enough, when Song Guichen was saving someone from the back of the bone flute, he sneaked back in a hurry.But getting out of Song Guichen's hands, it was still so tired that it almost peeled off a layer of skin.It was full of grievances, and because of its master's usual indifference, it could only whimper and crawl into Xia Qing's arms - that man in purple clothes was too scary, it scared it to death.

Xia Qing held it: "Okay, okay, look at how cowardly you are."

The bone flute was tired from crying, sobbing and shaking, he fell asleep.

After it slept, it became a cold dead thing again.

Xia Qing touched the flute hole on the top with his fingers, and was a little curious for a moment. He raised his head and asked Lou Guanxue: "You specially made it into the shape of a flute, but why haven't I seen you play it once?"

Lou Guanxue tied her black hair behind her head, giving her a loose feeling of golden branches and jade leaves, and replied indifferently: "I don't want to blow it."

Xia Qing: "All right."

He was wearing a gray robe, sitting cross-legged on the board of the boat, Xia Qing touched the mouth of the bone flute, and suddenly said: "Then can I play it?"

Lou Guanxue glanced at him: "As you wish."

"Oh, thank you." Xia Qing was also in a panic, and really put the flute to his mouth, and blew a short note.

He was startled when the voice came out, he is indeed a god bone.

Qingyue is empty and vast, and it seems to rise to the sky for nine days, shaking the reeds and flowers on the river bank rustling in the wind.

He regained his spirits all of a sudden.

In fact, Xia Qing doesn't know much about musical instruments, and the tunes are out of tune. He just randomly pressed them out of curiosity, so the sound he blew out was also chaotic. He could hear the white cranes in the reeds flapping their wings and leaving, leaving behind a few feathers in disgust. Hit him in the face.

"?"

If you don't join in, you don't join in, so why step on it! !

"Bah, bah, bah." Xia Qing stopped the noise pollution, stretched out his hand to wave away the crane feathers in the air, and spat out the reed fluff blown into his mouth by the wind.

Lou Guanxue tilted her head, couldn't watch it anymore, took the bone flute from his hand, and said lightly: "If you are really bored, go to bed first, the days after that will not be so leisurely."

Xia Qing grabbed a feather on his head, looked at him quietly and said, "As long as you take off the rope from my hand, I will be free until I leave."

"Leave?" These two words did not know what made him laugh, Lou Guanxue raised her eyes, sneered and said softly: "Wait for that fire to come and take you away in half a year?"

Xia Qing didn't even think about it: "Yes."

Lou Guanxue stared at him for a while, with a deep smile on her lips: "In your eyes, is it so omnipotent?"

"Well." Isn't it.

Lou Guanxue played with the bone flute: "If I don't let you go, guess what it will do?"

Xia Qing was still holding the bird feather in his hand, he was stunned, and looked at him strangely: "Are you crazy?"

Lou Guanxue smiled: "A hypothesis."

Xia Qing choked: "Without this assumption, if it can bring me here, it must have a way to take me away."

Lou Guanxue pursed her lips: "Oh, it's so powerful, why is Zhaxinglou so afraid of me."

Xia Qing: Blame it on that Huo is just a one-year-old kid, so cowardly!

Xia Qing complained: "It's even afraid of me, let alone you."

Lou Guanxue's eyelashes were very long, she smiled inexplicably, and didn't say anything else.

But when Xia Qing brought up this topic that the two of them hadn't talked about, he couldn't help it.

"Speaking of which, after meeting Song Guichen. I think Song Guichen would not cooperate in the plot it mentioned, except you. He definitely wouldn't fall in love with Wen Jiao at first sight."

Although Song Guichen seems destined to be burdened by the world of mortals, the detachment in his bones is not fake.

The world of mortals that can drag him down is too heavy, and it is definitely not something that Wen Jiao can give.

Lou Guanxue smiled lightly, and said slowly after a long time: "Xia Qing, didn't you realize that it told you so much, but it didn't mention a specific thing or a specific time."

Xia Qing was stunned.

Lou Guanxue said: "It mentioned me, Fu Changsheng, and Song Guichen. It mentioned that Wen Jiao would climb into my bed, but it never mentioned what opportunity Wen Jiao used to contact me, and it never mentioned Song Gui When did Chen meet him, he didn't mention anything that would happen in the future."

A feather lightly brushed Xia Qing's eyelashes, and Lou Guanxue pointed out the biggest doubt in his heart.

That's right, the system says it's a book, but Xia Qing, as a book wearer, has no advantage in the plot, he doesn't know anything...

It was also the first time for Lou Guanxue to comment on what happened in Zhaixing Building.

Regarding the story that I thought was ironic and funny when I first heard it, and never bothered to pay attention to it, my tone was cold, my black eyes were deep, and I just wanted to tell Xia Qing every single word.

"It even tells you straight to the point that nothing else in this world is important, the only thing that matters is the entanglement between Wen Jiao and the people around him."

"In my opinion, I don't want to talk about the specific events and time, because it can only confirm those points. It is certain that Fu Changsheng will be devoted to Wen Jiao, and it is certain that Song Guichen will rescue Wen Jiao from the palace."

Xia Qing's soul seemed numb for a moment, and it took him a long time to find his voice: "Because this world is originally..." An ancient gossip essay.

But before he finished speaking, Lou Guanxue had already opened his mouth, smiled, and said slowly: "If it's the reason that you can't even explain yourself, there's no need to tell me."

Xia Qing was numb, and scratched her hair irritably: "Then tell me, what the hell is that fire!"

Lou Guanxue caressed the mouth of the flute with her fingers, casually: "I don't know, but it always gives me the feeling of a fool who pretends to be smart."

"..." Xia Qing held back for a long time: "You mean I won't be able to leave in half a year?!"

Lou Guanxue raised her eyebrows: "Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate?"

Xia Qing: "Otherwise!"

Lou Guanxue glanced at him quietly, then looked away, and stopped talking.

The reed catkins in the sky are mixed with the starlight, and the water light is blended with the moonlight.

Xia Qing breathed out silently, leaned over and put his hand into the water, poured some on his face, calming down his chaotic thoughts a little bit.

"Its original purpose was to let me take your body and dig out your heart for Wen Jiao. It said you would die in three months."

Xia Qing murmured: "After three months."

He sorted out the timeline, the system brought him here at the beginning of March, the Lantern Festival is now in April, and Yan Lanyu said that the high priest of the Fuyao Formation needs to prepare for January.

If you guessed right... June is the time for killing monsters in the Buddha Pagoda.

Buddha Tower, Buddha Tower.

It turns out that from the beginning to the present, I have never escaped from these three words.

What exactly is locked in the Stupa? !

Lou Guanxue stopped when he was done, and he didn't want to force him after he achieved his goal this night, so he said, "Go to sleep if you don't understand."

Xia Qing didn't say a word, and sat with half of his body lying on the side of the boat, looking at the swaying reeds opposite.

"I can't sleep here." He said weakly, "Lou Guanxue, you have ruined my hope in half a year."

Lou Guanxue was amused all of a sudden, but her tone was cooler than Ye Feng's: "Hope? Is it so hard to stay by my side?"

Xia Qing muttered, "What? These two things. You made me have to think about what to do if I can't leave."

The coldness in Lou Guanxue's eyes dissipated a lot.

"No, you are responsible for the insomnia you caused me."

Xia Qing said again all at once.

Lou Guanxue: "Huh?"

Xia Qing: "I told you stories to lull you to sleep, so it's not too much for you to play me a tune now."

The boat travels deep in Dihua, surrounded by reeds half a person's height, mixed with green and black water plants, and the whistling of insects is accompanied by the sound of water.

Lou Guanxue looked down at him, picked up the flute and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to hear?"

Xia Qing: "Whatever."

He lay prone on the side of the boat, his wrists protruding from the gray robe, slowly stirring the biting cold water.

The reed flowers are scattered in the air, dotted with stars, like a river of stars falling.

Xia Qing didn't expect that Lou Guanxue actually played him a tune...a clear and melodious tune that was very close to the sound of the bone flute.

The sound is very low, like an old folk song.Jianjia is condensed with white dew, and insects are singing softly.

It was actually very similar to the mood that night.

Xia Qing didn't fall asleep after listening quietly, and asked him, "What's this called?"

Lou Guanxue said: "I used to hear Yao Ke humming, but I don't know the name."

"Oh."

He leaned on the back of the boat and really fell asleep to the sound of water and insects.

It is indeed true that Lou Guanxue said that the days to come will not be so leisurely.

After dealing with the chaos caused by the collapse of the Glazed Tower, Yan Lanyu naturally knew about Lou Guanxue's disappearance.

In the face of this matter, the death of the regent seemed insignificant. Sitting on the phoenix couch in a plain dress, her face was ferocious, her eyes were red, and she wished to dig out the body of her brother who had done nothing but failed!

"Find it! Send me an order! The sixteen states have to dig three feet to find His Majesty!"

There are various rumors among the people, but the most convincing one is that the collapse of the glazed pagoda turned the royal courtyard into ruins, the regent died inside, and His Majesty fell into the moat, and his life and death are uncertain.As for why the glazed pagoda collapsed, folks have always believed that it had something to do with the big monster in the pagoda, and the gathering of monks Lingguang all showed that something big was about to happen.

With Yan Lanyu's order, all places outside Lingguang City began to be strictly ordered to enter and exit.

But Lou Guanxue doesn't seem to want to go official way at all.

He took Xia Qing along the river to a small town.The news of the town is still not clear, and the two checked into the inn smoothly.

Xia Qing asked eagerly, "Do you know how to disguise?"

Lou Guanxue said, "No need."

Xia Qing: "Then how do you go to the old capital of Liang State? Liang State is in Cangzhou, it's still far away."

Lou Guanxue: "No rush."

Xia Qing was confused: "If you're not in a hurry to go to Cangzhou, why are you going to Lingguang for so much trouble?"

Lou Guanxue curled her lips into a smile: "Find a place to rest for a few days first."

Xia Qing was taken aback: "Rest? What's wrong with you?"

Lou Guanxue stared at him, her face was pale, her lips were red, and she laughed: "Can't you tell?"

Xia Qingren was stunned: "What do you see?"

Lou Guanxue said calmly, "I've been poisoned."

Xia Qing was even more startled, looked him up and down anxiously, and raised his voice in disbelief: "Poison?! When did you get poisoned!"

Lou Guanxue glanced at him before slowly saying, "Fengyuelou."

Xia Qing: "???"

Can Fengyue Tower be poisoned?It's almost like being drugged.

Speaking of which, he still hasn't figured out what Lou Guanxue did in Fengyue Tower that night before.

Lou Guanxue said, "Don't talk, I'll sleep first."

"……Oh."

Xia Qing swallowed his stomach full of questions, and obediently stood by the side holding the bone flute, but Lou Guanxue was destined to not sleep well this time.

This time, Yan Lanyu was determined to find someone, to see a dead body, to see a ghost. In the middle of the night, a group of soldiers kicked out the door, unsheathed their swords, and asked sternly, "Everyone in the inn, come down!" !"

The movement scared the shopkeeper enough, he just said with a pale face: "Master Jun..."

Xia Qing poked his head out of the window, glanced down, and frowned.

What should I do? ?

He wanted to wake up Lou Guanxue, but stopped when he got to the bed.

The last time Guanxue was trapped by obstacles and shackles of black mist, this time it was a soft divine light, but his expression was not relaxed.

After everyone went down, the soldiers still came up to search, room by room.

When he was about to violently open the door, Xia Qing went out first, and he was not sure if the soldiers recognized him.

But Yan Lanyu has never met herself, so it shouldn't have any influence.

"Master Jun, what's the matter, what happened?" He put on a dazed look, looking at the crowd of people outside in panic.

The soldier looked at him coldly and scolded, "Bring me out of everyone inside."

Xia Qing: "?"

Fortunately, he was smart and reacted very quickly. His eyes widened all of a sudden, and he shook his head hurriedly: "I can't do it! I can't do it, Mr. Jun."

Soldier: "Have you been ordered by the imperial court to dare to disobey the order?!"

Xia Qing was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "This, this, this, it's not that the grassroots want to resist the order, it's that the bitch has tuberculosis and can't see people, Mr. Jun, I'm afraid she will infect you!"

"tuberculosis?!"

In this era, tuberculosis is equivalent to a terminal illness, and the soldier's expression changed upon hearing this.

Xia Qing wiped off his sweat: "Yes, Cao Min is planning to take his wife to Lingguang to see a doctor."

The soldier's expression was unpredictable, and then he pulled the shopkeeper over all of a sudden: "Go in and see if it's his wife inside."

The shopkeeper's face was pale and crumbling, and he was miserable. He didn't want to go in and touch a sick person. "Master Jun, I..." But his eyes fell on Xia Qing's face and he was taken aback for a moment. During the day, the appearance and temperament of these two people were too outstanding. It was hard for him to forget, so he widened his eyes and said: "No! Lord Jun! That's not his wife at all—"

to suffer.

The shopkeeper, who stayed up most of the night, followed anyway.

Xia Qing shook the wooden sword in his hand, but he hadn't waited for him to make a move.

The sign of the inn was shaky, and a faint fragrance came from the end of the corridor.The fragrance was not strong, and even had a bit of a bitter taste, but it was like a hallucinogenic poison, driving the lonely night into a blur.Several soldiers, including the entire inn, were out of control before they could react, and froze in place like walking dead.

This is not a drug, it is more like a spell to control people's mind.

Xia Qing was dumbfounded.

Then he saw someone coming from the end of the corridor, the lotus blue dress swept the ground silently, his hair was gray, his body and arms were as thin as dead branches, he was holding a candle lamp, and the shadow dragging on the ground was slender and terrifying .Xia Qing thought he had seen a ghost.

But after seeing the face of the visitor, he silently changed his mind, this is not a ghost...
