Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

As soon as these words came out, except for Wen Chaoyu and Xue Tan, the expressions of several people in the room changed at the same time.

"You are Ding Lianzhen?" Bai Ling was stunned and said unexpectedly, "How could it be you?"

Almost everyone knows what Ding Lianzhen committed in the palace that year, and many disciples still have a deep impression on him. Thinking about it now, Ding Lianzhen was sent to Tianchi to guard the mausoleum of his masters for three years. But what happened to her three years later, but no one cares about it, and no one tells it.

Yin Qiu was stunned and shocked, she never thought that the person in front of her would be Ding Lianzhen.

How did she become like this?

Facing Yin Qiu's complicated and astonished gaze, Ding Lianzhen's eyes gradually turned red, and he said with resentment and sadness: "Why can't it be me? I was taken off my waist card that year, and I was also picked off the list of disciples at Tianyin Peak by my master." I was unwilling to go out, but I had no choice but to be forced to embark on the road to Tianchi. I thought that even if I went to Tianchi, I would only be an outer disciple when I came back, but as long as I work hard enough, maybe There is still a chance to return to the palace gate, but senior sister Lu found me on the way, and she asked me to obey her and do things for her. I was reluctant at first, but she said that I had already seen who she was. Promise, she can also make me die on the road, on the one hand, I was coerced by her, and on the other hand, I really wanted to take revenge, so I promised her, and I have been at her service for the past few years."

"You're confused," Bai Ling frowned, feeling a bit annoyed, "The person who hurt you was never Xiaoqiu, you made yourself a cocoon, not to mention that Senior Sister Lu used your appearance to make a mask, so Xiaoqiu was made into a mask. You have robbed Ziwei Sect, you should know in your heart that she is not a good person, and you should not agree to her then."

Ding Lianzhen said: "You don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk, if I don't listen to her, she will kill me at that time."

Bai Ling couldn't agree with her words: "It's one thing for her to threaten you, but you will definitely be escorted by other disciples when you go to Tianchi. But if you ask for help, she won't be able to kill you so easily. Her first reaction must be to run away."

"Didn't I say that I want revenge myself!" Ding Lianzhen said, "I entered the palace since I was a child, and I have made contributions and hard work in the palace. Which disciple doesn't greet me with a smile? I don't want to understand, what is unforgivable for the mistake I made!" After she finished speaking, she looked directly at Man Jiangxue and said, "Even if you are an uncle, even if you are high above me, I am not afraid of you at all! I said that I am not convinced, until now, I am still not convinced!"

Bai Ling was about to scold her, "Don't be disrespectful to the uncle", but heard Wen Zhaoyu laughing from the side, and said as if watching a show: "If I knew that Qi Shao had such a bold subordinate, I would Tell her to ask you to come here—that’s right! What’s so great about Man Jiangxue? Good scolding!”

Yin Qiu really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, looked at Wen Chaoyu and said, "Master Wen, what time is this, please stop making trouble."

"What's wrong with me?" Wen Chaoyu said, "Man Jiangxue, you deserve to be scolded, and if you have the ability to talk back, what are you doing silently?"

Bai Ling showed embarrassment when talking with Xue, Yin Qiu shook his head and chuckled, only Man Jiangxue was as calm as usual, she ate wonton mouthful after mouthful, holding chopsticks in an elegant and special posture, Man Jiangxue's head Without looking up, he said: "Let me remind you, one of you is about to go to prison, and the other is a person who will be hunted down as a traitor. I am nothing special, and you are not much better."

Wen Chaoyu said: "It's your fault that you became a traitor!"

Man Jiangxue said, "Oh."

Wen Chaoyu said: "You 'oh' shit!"

"I'm sorry, I want to interrupt you," Bai Ling couldn't listen anymore, "Both of you, the person who got to the bottom of your troubles is actually Senior Sister Lu, why is it that one of you blames Xiaoqiu, and the other blames you?" On the head of the uncle? I really don’t understand, can you explain some reason?”

"That's right..." Xue Tan covered his face with the portrait and whispered, "Being a man has to be reasonable..."

"Let you two brats take care of it!" Wen Zhaoyu said, "I can blame whoever I like!"

Man Jiangxue glanced at her, but did not reply, she casually picked up a clean chopstick, and threw it at Wen Chaoyu, this action seemed to use no force, but Wen Zhaoyu was shocked by her shock. fell down.

Wen Zhaoyu hadn't been relieved of the acupoints yet, so she couldn't move, her mind was thrown into a dizzy state, she immediately started cursing, but she didn't hear her own voice until the cursing was over.

"Master Uncle is amazing!" Yin Qiu's eyes lit up, and he smiled brightly at Man Jiangxue, "You can touch the dumb acupoints like this? It's too accurate!"

"I'll teach you another day," Man Jiangxue smiled back at her, and then said to Bai Ling, "Go on and ask."

Bai Ling said: "Oh, keep asking, ask..." She was interrupted by the little episode just now, and couldn't help laughing, "Xiaoqiu, you should ask..."

Yin Qiu had almost finished eating the wontons in his bowl, so he also put down his chopsticks and said to Ding Lianzhen: "At present, it seems that you poisoned the refugees in Yao Dingcheng. This is a certainty, then you... you There is no mask on your face, so how did you get these injuries on your face?"

Hearing her mentioning this, Ding Lianzhen became more and more angry, her red eyes overflowed with tears, she said bitterly: "After I arrived at Tianchi, I will be a man with my tail between my legs. The door was not good, I thought that the master was old and he was so disappointed in me, so I didn't want to continue to make him sad, so I took the initiative to ask Senior Sister Lu and told her that I regretted it, but she said nothing after listening. I didn't say anything, just left like that, and not long after that, the news of Master's death came from the palace. After I found out, I asked the brothers and sisters in Tianchi to allow me to go back to the palace, and wanted to see Master for a ride, but they couldn't help it. I disagree, saying that there is no order from the head of the sect, and I must not let me leave Tianchi without permission. I hated it very much. It was at that moment that I made up my mind to help Senior Sister Lu. Yunhua Palace!"

But it is really not easy to leave Tianchi quietly. After the two discussed, Lu Huaiwei proposed to set fire to Ding Lianzhen's room, and also found a dead body for Ding Lianzhen, in order to create Ding Lianzhen's The illusion of being burned to death.

However, what Ding Lian really didn't expect was that when she moved the corpse to the bed, the fire in the room suddenly started to burn without warning. She thought it was Lu Huaiwei who made a mistake and didn't see clearly that she was still in the room , But when she wanted to go out, she found that the doors and windows were locked.

Ding Lian was really anxious in the room, patting on the door and shouting for help, but the disciples of Tianchi had already been drugged with perspiration medicine by Lu Huaiwei in the food, and all of them fell asleep unconsciously, no one could hear her voice.

Soon, Ding Lianzhen was choked by the thick smoke and passed out in despair. When she woke up again, she left Tianchi as she wished, and was taken to Qingluo City by Lu Huaiwei, but she also left behind a terrible body. of burns.

It was a very difficult time.

When Ding Lianzhen was finally able to stay in the bed, and finally able to speak, she found Lu Huaiwei with a sword in her hand and asked her why she treated her like this. Lu Huaiwei just said flatly: "I told you before, you'd better replace me The person is a female disciple named Cheng Xiu from Liuli Peak, you also know her deeds, if I don’t act more truthfully, if you show your feet one day, how can you convince others?”

Cheng Xiu's face was burned in the ruined temple. If Ding Lian really wanted to impersonate her identity, she must not show her true colors, but she and Lu Huaiwei had clearly agreed from the beginning to disguise herself. Unexpectedly, Lu Huaiwei would be so cruel, and would actually set her on fire.

During the days when she was recuperating, Ding Lian really thought about killing herself countless times, but she finally survived with the thought of killing Lu Huaiwei. However, after a serious illness, her kung fu was not as good as before. She is not Lu Huaiwei's opponent at all.

"You are a person with your own opinions, and you are narrow-minded and a bit clever." Lu Huaiwei broke Ding Lianzhen's sword, smiling cruelly and indifferently, "And I don't need such a person. What I need is to be obedient, I am the only one who obeys. I did burn you on purpose. You have become what you are now. Apart from supporting me to live, who would look at you outside? Follow me is your only choice, unless you don’t want to live Now, then I don't mind being kind, and I'll send you on your way."

·

As time went by, the sky outside the inn became brighter and brighter, Ding Lian fell into the light in a daze and despondency, tears pouring out continuously.

"...I gave in, she was right, with my ghostly appearance, I will be excluded and despised by others wherever I go, I have no home, no relatives, I have no place in this world, only Only by following Senior Sister Lu can I survive. It is not difficult to boil water in the boiler room. I don’t have to worry about food, drink, and livelihood every day. I do everything she tells me. I... Fate, that's all there is to it."

Hearing what happened to her, although Bai Ling couldn't bear it, he also said bluntly: "Even though Senior Sister Lu is hateful, it was your own choice to end up like this. If you could really realize your mistakes back then, let go of the worries in your heart." Resentment, it will not fall to the point where it is today."

Sadly, to this day, she still does not repent, and still does not feel that she is wrong.

Ding Lianzhen bit her lips tightly, her throat choked up, she was already speechless.

"Why haven't you heard about such a big fire in the Tianchi Lake?" Yin Qiu was silent for a long time before asking, "The palace hasn't heard of it yet."

"Who dares to report it?" Ding Lianzhen said, "If a fire breaks out and someone dies, reporting it means being punished. In that place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. It is the best choice to hide it."

"Then what about the real Cheng Xiu?" Yin Qiu said, "You killed her?"

Ding Lian laughed, "It's only natural."

Seeing the disdainful expression on her face, Yin Qiu sighed and said, "Is there poison in the wine you gave me that day?"

Ding Lian said "hmm": "Yes."

"Is it Gu poison?" Yin Qiu asked again.

Ding Lianzhen still replied: "Yes," she said, then looked at Yin Qiu provocatively, and said, "You are so old and not smart, you are still so easy to deceive, you can't blame me."

Yin Qiu said with complicated emotions: "I just thought...you are a warm-hearted senior sister."

Ding Lianzhen sneered again.

Seeing that she still had an arrogant attitude up to this moment, Bai Ling's unbearable dissipated immediately, and cursed: "You really are a complete villain! You seem to be justified after doing such a wicked thing, you——you It really deserves it!"

"I really deserve it," Ding Lian laughed out loud, fearlessly, "Then what are you going to do with me? Kill me? Come on! I don't want to live for a long time, but I'm afraid of death and dare not Do it, if you can kill me, it will be considered a good deed, and I will be grateful to you after I die!"

Bai Ling didn't want to look at her anymore, and cursed again: "Crazy!"

Confiding the past that has been unknown for many years, Ding Lian really seemed to be relieved a little by this. She cried and laughed, and the tears flowed more and more on her face.

"Could she have lost her mind and gone crazy?" Xue Tan covered her eyes and couldn't bear to look directly at her, "She must be crazy... If she goes crazy, we will lose our personal ID."

Bai Ling said disgustedly: "She is going crazy, let her go, the poor person must have something to hate, she has brought the blame on herself, and reaped the consequences, no one can blame her."

Yin Qiu couldn't stand Ding Lianzhen's description, and frowned and looked away.

"Looking at it like this, she probably doesn't have the antidote." Bai Ling was a little frustrated, and sighed, "Senior Sister Lu will definitely not give her the antidote."

Man Jiangxue took a look at Ding Lianzhen, and said in a low voice: "I don't expect her to have an antidote, as long as Huaiwei doesn't move next, don't worry, drag her down first, and we will return to the palace immediately, the sooner the better, the better." good."

"What about Senior Sister Lu?" Yin Qiu suddenly remembered this, "Isn't she in Yao Dingcheng?"

Bai Ling clicked on Ding Lianzhen's sleeping point, and replied: "I asked earlier, she and Senior Sister Ji went to Jincheng a few days ago, and I don't know where they are now."

Yin Qiu said: "Then we still have to send a letter to Jincheng, telling them to go back to the palace."

"I've already sent someone to do it," Bai Ling said, "Don't worry, I'll call them back to the palace to listen in on the grounds of the public trial of Senior Sister Ye. After they read the letter, they will definitely not have any doubts. It's all easy to handle."

Yin Qiu thought for a while, and said, "We haven't leaked the news yet, so we're not worried that Senior Sister Lu will run away, but Senior Sister Ji... Will she find any doubts? But don't startle the snake."

"Even if she finds doubts, Wan Shu will not act rashly," Man Jiangxue said, "She still knows how to measure in major matters, but she and Huai Wei are close and have a good relationship. I guess she must have asked I have heard Huaiwei's words, but she has not sent us a letter for so long, which means that Huaiwei has convinced her, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being."

Yin Qiu couldn't help laughing bitterly.

"What's wrong?" Man Jiangxue looked at her.

Yin Qiu sighed softly, glanced at the quiet Wen Chaoyu, and said, "It's nothing, I just thought that if Senior Sister Ji knew..."

The master that he misses so much is the guardian of the Ziwei sect, and the only person in the palace who can be called a good friend is the elaborator of the Ziwei sect. If Ji Wanshu finds out, it will be extremely difficult to accept.

She didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Man Jiangxue knew what Yin Qiu wanted to say. She touched Yin Qiu's head and relieved Wen Chaoyu's dumb acupoint. Maybe she heard that they mentioned Ji Wanshu just now, and Wen Chaoyu slightly He looked dull, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Man Jiangxue, just take it as a good thing, don't take me to Yunhua Palace, okay?"

Man Jiangxue said: "You should also treat it as a good deed. As long as Huaiwei's matter is over, I will let you go." After she finished speaking, she continued, "Besides, I promised you that I will not tell you your secret later. Shu, you can rest assured."

Wen Zhaoyu didn't speak again.

Over there, Bai Ling had carried the drowsy Ding Lianzhen to the carriage, and was waiting outside the inn, Man Jiangxue stopped talking, and took Yin Qiu downstairs, Xue Tan carried Wen Chaoyu on his back, Wen Chaoyu said: " Which side are you on? Hurry up and untie the acupoints for me! If you don’t slip now, when will you wait!”

Xue Tanwei said: "Guardian, I know you too well. You say you won't go back to the Ziwei Sect, but you will definitely go back. I can't watch you jump into the fire pit."

Wen Chaoyu said, "You're mad at me!"
