Half-dead paulownia

(Lingku Cave)

Lonely moon and cold stars, the bleak moonlight squeezed hard into the half-covered window, and a silvery white light was drawn in the room. Although it was faint, it still shone on the person lying on the bed, and the lonely back was reflected on the wall. It seemed even more desolate and lonely. Although it was late at night, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

"What should I do? Am I going too far? No, I didn't do anything wrong. Anling Yuhao should have liked me. I'm the wife he is marrying. I'm not wrong. It's because they can't tell the truth. , but what should I do?" Ling Zining repeated to himself, as if he had reached an impasse.

I saw Ling Zining standing up suddenly, looking up at the faint moonlight, the light just happened to shoot straight at the already dark eyes, the light reflected in the pupils made the night even more eerie, the corners of his mouth raised, lightly With a soft snort, he got up and left the room, and walked out.

"Boom boom..." There was no response.

"Dong dong..." Ling Zining continued to knock on the door without giving up.

"Just come here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." It was calm as expected.

Gently pushed open the door, but seemed to hesitate before entering, did not take another step, just stood quietly at the door.

"Before you think about it, I advise you to go back. Since you have admitted defeat, just give away your things. Why make yourself so painful?"

"No, no one has the ability to take away my things, everything is mine, everyone owes me, everyone owes me..." The response seemed to be suddenly sober, and it seemed to be the anger that declared war like fate , and then stepped into the room without hesitation.

"Midnight, you already expected that I would come?" Zi Ning asked straight to the point.

"It was much later than I expected. It seems that it is indeed a very difficult choice." Ziye didn't answer directly, but picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip.

"What should I do?" Without too much chatting, Ling Zining also bet that Ding Ziye had completely understood her thoughts.

"It seems that love is really hard to touch. It has made such a delicate beauty like you so..." Ziye didn't continue.

"Midnight, I have no turning back now. It turns out that everything is an illusion. I have nothing but love. I can only hold on to the little bit of happiness that I have. Isn't that all right?" Suddenly, big teardrops rolled down from that delicate face, showing infinite grievance and longing.

Originally, I just wanted to ridicule the woman in front of me, but I never thought that she would shed tears. This made Ziye feel a little flustered. It turns out that everyone is just for their own little happiness. No complaints or regrets.

"Princess Anling, remember what I said, if you want to take back someone's heart, what is the best way?" Ziye reminded intentionally.

"The best way is to completely become the person in his heart, but?" Zi Ning looked thoughtful.

"And who is the person in Anling Yuhao's heart? You don't know, do you?" Ziye seemed to ask deliberately.

"I..." Zi Ning hesitated to speak.

"I wonder if the imperial concubine still remembers the story I told you that day?"

"You mean those rumors?" Zi Ning asked back.

"It seems that the imperial concubine still doesn't have the sincerity to ask for my help. I'm doing this for you, so why do you want to hide something from me?"

"I'm just..." Zi Ning began to hesitate.

"Since you asked me to help you, but you don't want to tell the truth, how can I help you?"

"Well, although I don't know what good it will be for you if you help me like this, we are still friends for the time being." Zi Ning took a deep breath.

"Okay, then we need to think long-term..." Zi Ye said quietly.

(Anling Imperial City)

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, with pavilions, towers and pavilions, trickling streams slowly flow down from the rockery and merge into the pond in the Imperial Garden. Among them, the red lacquered green wood, glazed tiles, and the plaque written by Emperor Anling are even more shining. From a distance, it looks like an ink painting, which is too beautiful to behold.

In this fairyland-like beauty, I saw an old but still handsome man and a graceful lady sitting in the "Shuixin Pavilion" playing chess, which added a touch of charm to the painting.

"Hahaha, An Ruo is still so clever, I have to admit defeat." An Lingmingcheng said dotingly.

"Mingcheng, it's an old couple's business, why are you still making fun of me?" An Ruo pretended to blame, but her face was filled with a happy smile.

"Not old, not old, we still have a long way to go, you will always be so young in my heart." At this time, Anling Mingcheng's gentleness was the emperor that no courtier had ever seen, because all he had belonged to An Ruo is alone.

"Mingcheng, I will accompany you all the way in the future." An Ruo seemed to be promising something.

"Of course, in the name of the emperor, I order you to accompany me forever." An Ling Mingcheng said loudly like a child.

"Hehe...you!" An Ruo's smile was as warm as the winter sun.

"I don't know what's going on with Anling Yuhao and Ling Zining now, but I'm somewhat uneasy about Anling Yuhao's character." Anling Mingcheng said with some concern.

"Yeah, you and I know our son's personality best, but luckily Liu Meng is with him, so I believe he will be able to manage Yuhao more or less."

"Liu Meng? I'm afraid they are all the same breed."

"Ming Cheng, Yu Hao has grown up too, it's time to let him go."

"Well, but judging by his current personality, he still has the charm of me back then, doesn't he?" An Ling Mingcheng actually had a proud expression.

"Mingcheng? Are you referring to your shortcomings?" An Ruo actually joked about Anling Mingcheng.

"Lack... Weaknesses? Hahahaha..." An Lingmingcheng laughed out loud.

"By the way, Mingcheng, I heard that the ghost king is now looking for experts to find the whereabouts of the blood spirit." An Ruo suddenly remembered.

"You actually know?" An Ling Mingcheng frowned slightly.

"How could I not know? You didn't discuss such a big matter with me?"

"I don't want you to be involved in it, I just want you to be my wife quietly, and don't get involved in these messy disputes again."

"But the matter of the blood spirit is not a trivial matter!" An Ruo said worriedly.

"Because I know the seriousness of the matter, I don't want you to know."

"I still can't forget the bloody storm that was caused by the world to compete for the blood spirit. All of us witnessed the destruction of the blood spirit. How is it possible now?" An Ruo asked puzzled.

"I'm also very curious. The destruction of the blood spirit did happen in front of everyone, but now, some spies have reported that the ghost king has been searching for the blood spirit recently. Although there is no reliable news, there will be no wind in the rivers and lakes." Waves, if it's fake, it's easy to handle, if it's true..."

"There is only one blood spirit in the world. It is said that it is a peerless treasure that was dropped for the mortal world when the world was created. It is for the benefit of the people. Even if you just look at its brilliance, you will live forever and your martial arts will increase greatly. That's why there are so many people. They killed each other in order to get him to dominate the world, and now they are spreading about the blood spirit again, could it be that they didn't destroy it that time?" An Ruo's expression showed anxiety.

"Not destroyed? It shouldn't be, obviously all of us have witnessed it with our own eyes." An Ling Mingcheng also began to wonder.

"It's better to believe it than to believe it. Even if it's the ghost king's conspiracy, we have to investigate and find out." An Ruo said firmly.

(Ghost King's Chamber)

In the majestic and domineering, still gloomy secret room, tall guards guarded such a luxurious hall with expressionless faces. The strange and bloody smell filled everyone's side all the time, which always made people shudder.

"Han'er, how are you doing these days?" Although the Ghost King spoke with concern, his tone was still cold.

"Return to adoptive father, everything is fine." Han Sha replied respectfully, without even a hint of tone.

"Well, that's good. Father-in-law has been busy with important affairs in recent days, and has neglected to care about you."

"Of course, the foster father's affairs are important, and the children naturally understand."

"Hahaha... It's good to understand. Otherwise, how can I say that I know my father more than my son!" The ghost king seemed very satisfied with Han Sha's answer.

"I don't know if the foster father has heard about the blood spirit reappearing in the Jianghu recently?" Han Sha asked.

"Have you heard that too?"

"My child has heard some."

"It seems that the spread is very fast, not bad." Ghost King said with something in his words.

"Could it be that foster father already knew about it?" Han Sha asked curiously.

"Hmph...without me, how could there be blood spirits in the world?" Ghost King said pointingly, his voice became hoarse.

"Yefu means that you arranged this matter?" Han Sha was a little surprised.

"That's right, it's me, and I'm the one who ordered the blood spirits in the world to reappear in the rivers and lakes."

"But what is your purpose for doing this?" Han Sha was a little puzzled.

"Han'er, I'm afraid you don't understand the power of the blood spirit. When the catastrophe happened that year, you were just a baby in the swaddle. Slowly, I will naturally tell you the stories of the past, but now There are more important things to do right now.”

"Please confess to the adoptive father, the child will definitely do his best."

"Find the blood spirit for me, because I know it hasn't been destroyed. How can a god in a million be destroyed so easily?" The ghost king revealed a trace of evil through the cold mask.

"My boy took orders, but I have never seen a blood spirit before, where can I find it?" Han Sha asked.

"You just have to remember that the blood spirit is a living thing, and the only thing that can maintain its life is blood, so it can only be parasitic."
