"Master! You...have you been listening..." Bai Li's voice trembled.

"You...don't want me to hear...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

The cardinal's originally smirking expression added a little uneasiness, and he was at a loss for a moment.

"How about... I'll also tell you something... my black history... Oh no, what you just said is my black history!"

"It's not that...it's not necessary."

"Is it really unnecessary? I... really didn't mean it, but if you want some kind of compensation..."

"How to use the compensation... There is nothing to hide from the master, just a little surprised."

The white carp was a little terrified by the cardinal's reaction, it was clear that he was the one who did the wrong thing, but instead of apologizing, he became the master.

"It's really unnecessary? Then the compensation I thought about...but I won't give it."

Cardinal's eyes were instantly bent mischievously, and all the ingratiating intentions were gone.

"Need not……"

The white carp didn't say anything else, but those few breaths made the linnet laugh even more happily.

"Heh, what's yours is yours. I can't bear to give you whatever you want."

Shuangyue was numb all over watching from the sidelines, and quickly interjected to stop the conversation between the two: "Ahem, if you two have nothing else to do... Shuangyue will leave first."

Seeing that they were getting down to business, Linque hurriedly put away her playful look, and stopped in front of Shuangyue in a flash.

"Why, how can we solve the vacancy for the human sacrifice?"

"No, heh, the owner of the Tianji Tower is really powerful. I don't know what method he used to find out about it." Shuangyue thought that the secret was well hidden, but at this time, the person who was going to plot it told her face to face, and responded with sarcastic remarks.

"Why did the Palace Master make a joke? Naturally, only Bai Li and I know about this secret."

Shuangyue glared at the two of them, knowing that she didn't really want to ask, but she insisted on asking.

But Bai Li replied with a serious face:

"No comment."

Frost Moon: ...[email protected]¥%

However, the method that was originally prepared is no longer feasible. At this time, it is considered to be asking for help from others, and I can’t get angry. I can only suppress my emotions and ask: "Why, does the landlord have any good methods?"

Cardinal pulled the white carp back to the stone table and said slowly:

"The Huayue Snow Mountain is not high but covered with snow all the year round, because there is an extremely cold river flowing through the mountain. It is rumored that the river water is the dark water from the underworld, and the place it passes through is permafrost for thousands of years.

The Holy Land of Lingyue Palace is built inside Huayue Snow Mountain, so it must have something to do with it.

In the severe cold where not even Gu worms can survive, there is a plant that can reproduce and survive, so people call that plant Longevity Grass, and it is said that it can be refined into a secret medicine for longevity. If not very few people know about this medicine, I'm afraid the rivers and lakes are going to be bloody.

Since they are doing everything possible to invite me, instead of directly kidnapping other people who are not as troublesome as me, it must be related to the poison made from longevity grass. What, do you want me to detoxify, or do you want me to make poison? "

"It's detoxification."

"Let's go then."

Unexpectedly, after knowing that the other party wanted to plot against him, the cardinal still agreed to help.

"Walk?"

"Well... Although I will definitely not agree to die for you, let's go and have a look, maybe I can solve it without my dying."

"Why are you helping me?"

Shuangyue looked at Linque vigilantly. This person who is willing to sell ten thousand taels of information will not help for no reason.

"Oh, I don't want any reward, I just want to find out what the Moon Palace has done for these years, and what made the white carp suffer so much." The cardinal held the white carp's hand , rubbing fingers in his palm.

"You...Aren't you afraid that I will frame you again?"

"You won't bear the heart of your cousin being a widow..."

Cardinal showed a very harmless expression, but Shuangyue looked at it and wanted to beat someone up.

"you!"

Shuangyue was about to have an attack, but Linque frowned slightly with an aggrieved look on her face. She immediately felt deeply hurt, almost internally hurt.

"Take it as my dowry."

Such a word suddenly popped into Linque's mind, and he used it without much thought, but for some reason it ignited Frost Moon's fire all of a sudden.

"Bowry gift? Heh, who do you think my cousin is? Like a woman in exchange? Just now you said widowhood..."

"Palace Master, be safe and don't be impatient, I didn't mean that..."

Cardinal was at a loss, and had no idea what Shuangyue was angry about.

"Oh? Then why don't you go to be his widow, why don't you let him give you a dowry?"

"First of all, I am confident that I will not let him die before me. As for the dowry... I have no relatives, who will he give to?"

"This……"

Knowing that Shuangyue cared about Baili, Hongque didn't feel angry, but thought about it seriously: "Then it's called... dowry, would it be better?"

This time it was Frost Moon's turn to be puzzled.

"What are you talking about... Do you know the difference between marrying and marrying..."

"...Is it different?"

"..."

Linque looked at Frost Moon and looked at herself with a mentally retarded expression, and explained helplessly: "I know the literal meaning, but apart from the difference between men and women, is it necessary to make the usage of these two words so separate? To create characters, you have to choose one and use it.”

"Indeed, I was biased first, sorry."

"It's okay, let's talk about business."

Linque learned the whole story from Shuangyue's mouth. It turns out that there are all kinds of poisonous weeds growing around the cave where the everlasting grass grows, and ordinary people can't enter it at all.And the Moon Palace also gave up the research on poison for some reason, and turned to specialize in Gu art. Most of the ancient scrolls were lost and damaged, and coupled with the environmental changes in the snow mountain over the past century, they couldn't get in now.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Moon Palace, it was for revenge, and the future generations also wanted to fulfill the wishes of their ancestors.Now, because Shuangyue can't understand how the palace treats hidden piles like tools, after she seized the throne, she overturned Muyun Villa by chance, which is about to bring an end to all this, and the last step is to enter the hinterland of the snow mountain.

The previous generations of palace masters would have known the whole story of the revenge of the Moon Palace, but because Shuangyue seized power, even she herself did not know why the Moon Palace sacrificed so many people.

All I know is that after Muyun Villa is destroyed, one needs to sacrifice one's life to enter the holy place deep in the snow mountain to unlock a poison seal.

Considering that Cardinal is the most likely person who knows how to enter the cave and has the ability to detoxify, Shuangyue originally planned to lure Cardinal to the cave by way of entrustment. Try out the method of unlocking.

But now that the host and the guest are reversed, Frost Moon can only have a showdown with Cardinal for help.

As usual, the white carp bled the cardinal to make medicine, but this time the cardinal made a very shallow cut on the inside of the white carp's forearm, and the blood stopped when it reached the required amount, but the cardinal insisted Carefully apply the medicine and wrap the bandage.

"What was the relationship between you before? She took power to avenge you."

Cardinal muttered softly, although she knew Bai Li's attitude towards Shuangyue, but when she thought that there might be someone who cared more about Bai Li than herself, she felt very uncomfortable.

"Master... there is nothing I don't understand. Even if there is no news of the death of her subordinates, it will be a matter of time before she seizes the throne."

The white carp sensed the emotion of the cardinal at this time, and knew what to say to comfort him.

"How do you know her so well?" Cardinal was still a little dissatisfied.

"Because the master wants to know."

"Oh……"

After wrapping up the bandages, Linnet held the white carp and lay down on a temporary narrow couch beside him. Taking advantage of the warming time of the medicine, he suddenly asked, "Was I really that stupid when I was young?"

Bai Li trembled, his eyes were even more flustered than when he was forced to question him just now, his fingers unconsciously grabbed the corner of Linque's clothes, obediently making Linque feel distressed.

"Master, are you still willing to drink the medicine?"

"Well, I listen to you."

Linque chuckled helplessly, never thought that a joke of his own would cause Baili to misunderstand the meaning, leaned over to hold the lower lip that Baili was biting, and kissed gently, until he felt that the people under him gradually calmed down, then he relaxed. He opened his mouth and explained patiently: "I didn't want to just want to treat you better before, but since you don't care about it, this premise will naturally disappear. Now... all I have is my heartache."

A few days later, the cardinal followed Shuangyue's guidance and entered the snow-capped mountain along the tunnel. He wanted to leave the white carp outside, but the white carp insisted on following because he was worried about the cardinal's safety.

Linque glanced at Shuangyue next to her and remembered what happened to the Gu last time, and felt that Bai Li's words were indeed necessary.

After resolving several minor crises along the way, the few people managed to arrive at a cavity at the bottom of the snow-capped mountain, surrounded by solid frozen soil and ice, and a dark river of unknown liquid flowed through it. through.

Going further in, two huge frost-like crystals appeared on the other side of the river, covered with vines, and some dark shadows could be vaguely seen.

The cardinal jumped over the dark river lightly, and in the biting cold, used the blade to pick away the tangled vines in front of it.

"interesting."

"This is..." Shuangyue gasped when she saw this.

Through the gap of the vines that were picked apart, two people were actually frozen in the two translucent crystals.

One person was wearing an exquisite snow-white shirt, his face was hidden deep in the crystal, and he couldn't see clearly.The other person was dressed in black and blood-stained, his clothes were in dilapidated condition, half of the crystal was smudged with blood, and he was holding a metal pendant in his hand.

"It turns out that the eternal life rumored in the world is just an eternal sleep... It's just a pity for the two of them."

"You know these two people?" Shuangyue asked vigilantly.

"I only know what Muyun Villa said. Since you are opposite each other, this statement must be biased." Cardinal said as he began to recall the information he had compiled before.

"tell me the story."

"There is such a story circulating in Muyun Villa, even if it is banned on the surface, the story cannot be blocked.

The owners of the last few generations had a brother and sister. Rumors say that they are more sisters, but some say they are sisters or brothers. I can't verify the age.It was rumored that he fell in love with his personal shadow guard and wanted to take him as his own, but the shadow guard only obeyed the orders of the owner, and only obeyed him simply.That person couldn't get what he loved, so he became paranoid and made things difficult for the shadow guard everywhere, forbidding him to go out or seeing people.

The shadow guard couldn't bear his control and fled.However, the shadow guard escaped from the villa but couldn't escape the poison, and was found by that person before he died.

That person still wanted to control the Shadow Guard for the rest of his life, so he brought him here, and used the cold river water and the Immortal Flower to freeze the Shadow Guard, trying to use time and the medicinal power of the Immortal Flower to detoxify the Shadow Guard for a long century, and at the same time The organization Lingyue Palace was established in an attempt to obtain an antidote from Muyun Villa.

But why he himself is here... No explanation was given in the rumors. "

The cardinal spoke lazily, as if he knew that this statement had already been confirmed and there were many fabricated elements, and he didn't care about the contradiction between various details and facts.

"I... I've heard this story! But it's completely different from what you said." Frost Moon said suddenly.

"Oh? Is this the version of the Moon Palace?"

"Yes... There is a similar story secretly circulating in the Moon Palace. It is said that there was a master of the Muyun Villa. He had a brother and sister who fell in love with the humble shadow guard.

The identity of this person has indeed been deliberately blurred, and even the gender has not been recorded.

His shadow guards obey his orders in name, but in fact they are completely controlled by the owner.The shadow guard and him are in love with each other, but they can only obey the owner's orders, often go out on missions without telling him, and often come back with injuries.

He has repeatedly asked the owner to give him the shadow guard, but he has never been able to do so. As the master, he can't protect his own shadow guard..."

Shuangyue sighed, feeling a little emotional.

"Until one day the shadow guard came back from a serious injury and was poisoned by an unresolved poison. In a rage, he cut off the kinship with the owner, and sought medical treatment everywhere with the unconscious shadow guard on his back. Finally, he found this place and used cold river water and eternal life flowers to treat him. Forcibly prolonging the life of the shadow guard, waiting for the day when the poison in the shadow guard is slowly relieved by the immortal anther.

Afterwards, he established the Moon Palace and swore an oath to overthrow Muyun Villa.Before he died, he returned here again and sealed himself beside the Shadow Guard, maybe he hoped to have a chance to see the Shadow Guard again in the future..."

Cardinal frowned for a moment, then asked:

"Didn't you say before that you didn't know the reason for Moon Palace's revenge?"

"I really don't know...I mean, I really don't know that's where it all comes from...

This story was heard by all the children in the Moon Palace, and I thought it was a lie, just like what was taught in the school for the children of other families.The elders did say that only the Palace Master knew the secret, so I thought... there were other reasons. "

Frost Moon was silent for a long time, then slowly raised her head and said to Cardinal:

"Can you untie the ice seal? If you can't untie it, don't force it."

The cardinal glanced back at the white carp, turned around and was about to leave.

"I don't want to solve it, you can find someone else."

"Lord! Do you have any other requests? You might as well tell them." Shuangyue quickly stopped Linque, obviously she had already fallen into the emotion in the story.

Cardinal shook his head, and slowly said a word:

"This has nothing to do with the reward. I said I don't want to explain it because the master...is dead."

"What...how did you know that!"

"What do you think the everlasting grass is, a fetish? It can prolong people's lives for no reason? What do you think the man in white sealed himself here for?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Look carefully at that vine. The one on the right is the root system, which is connected to the crown on the left. In southern Xinjiang, this plant has a separate name called Yihun, which can transfer one person's life to another. But now the root system on the right Reddened and withered, showing signs of dying, did you wake up the shadow guard to let him live alone?"

"But...he might not be dead yet, and the root system is about to wither, so it's about to..." Shuangyue still refused to let go.

"Haven't you heard that there is a skill in the hidden technique, which can sense the living people nearby without seeing the object? I can't feel the anger of the man in white anymore."

What Linque said was as usual, but Baili, who had been watching from the sidelines, was suddenly shocked when he heard it.As soon as he entered the cave, he also knew that the man in white had been sucked out of life.

The reason why the white carp can also perceive it is because this kind of latent technique is the specialty of the Shadow Guard of Muyun Villa.Although he couldn't remember what happened in those years, he had already remembered the martial arts skills he had learned, and he knew that this set of hidden skills was used by almost no one except the shadow guards at Muyun Villa.

Why does the master know the shadow guard's skills?

"But... But what if the two of them are not in love, but like in the version you mentioned, don't you think the Shadow Guard should have a chance to see the sun again?"

Shuangyue's voice interrupted Bai Li's thoughts, but Hong Que didn't have the slightest intention to turn back.

"If you look at the hanging tag in the shadow guard's hand, you will know which story is closer to the truth."

"Hangtag..."

Frost Moon moved to the crystal that sealed the Shadow Guard, and found a suitable angle to read the words written on the tag: "Go and see, this world without Muyun Villa, you are free." After all, Shuangyue is not very old, she is still a bit childish, and she has never experienced thrilling love. When she saw this sentence, she was already crying.

The linnet sighed resignedly, and said:

"It's ironic..."

Shuangyue became anxious all of a sudden, and said:

"What are you talking about? How ironic is that! She gave her life..."

"You should know better than me. What is the difference between some practices of Moon Palace and Muyun Villa's treatment of shadow guards?"

Cardinal walked up to Bai Li and protected him behind him.

"I have heard all the past events that Bai Li talked about, and I have also heard about the behavior of the Moon Palace..."

Cardinal sneered and continued:

"What is this? To counter violence with violence? To end tragedy with tragedy?"

"Muyun Villa is colluding with officials and businessmen. Do you have a better way? Or do you think it's right to just stand by?" Shuangyue retorted.

"I don't have a better way, so I say sarcasm."

Cardinal's hand, which was protecting the white carp behind his back, quietly clenched his wrist.

After staring at the white carp for a long time, he said commandingly:

"You are not allowed to die before me, do you hear me?"

"Yes."

The white carp responded softly.

At night, Linque was lying on the bed as usual, vaguely sensed something strange about Baili, thinking that what happened today had affected him, so she turned around silently and put her arms around Baili's waist.

"Master..." Bai Li spoke slowly in the night.

"What's the matter?"

"You used to be a Shadow Guard too, right?"

Cardinal froze all over, he never thought that what Bai Li was thinking about was actually this matter.The painful and desperate memories of the past swept over, and I didn't want to admit it, but I couldn't deny it.

"So this subordinate went to Muyun Villa to look for you later, and found you, right?"

Cardinal's reaction seemed to confirm Bai Li's thoughts, and he continued to ask: "But...why is there no shadow guard mark on the master?"

The white carp caressed the half mask that the cardinal was wearing.

"And how did you escape?"

The author has something to say: I have committed the embarrassing death syndrome again when writing the plot... But I finally finished writing the plot line, so I can enjoy the emotional line!
