Bai Yujing

The thick smell of blood lingered on the tip of Lin Yan's nose, he frowned slightly, hesitated on the spot for a while, picked up the copper coin and handed it to Shi Tianqing.

The latter took it with all his strength, but the hand fell back in a slump, as if he had lost his strength.

Lin Yan was particularly shocked when he saw the blood flowing from between his fingers and winding on his pale hands.

"Why didn't you hide?" He threw Shi Tianqing's exact words back to him.

Shi Tianqing still looked at him unabashedly, licking the corners of his lips with his tongue like a snake letter, "Because I bet you won't kill me by mistake, and also because I want to kiss you for an extra moment, even if... He lowered his head and smiled helplessly, "I'm smashed to pieces."

After he finished speaking, he looked straight at Lin Yan, and the corner of his lips twitched lightly: "Is it the same for you?"

"You really admire me?" Lin Yan suddenly said abruptly.

Shi Tianqing was stunned for a moment, and soon returned to a smile, "Of course."

Lin Yan rolled his eyes across his face, as if trying to see through him, and then said to him with a subtle smile, "You should take your medicine."

He tossed a pill to Shi Tianqing, threw his clothes and sat opposite him, and then used his kung fu to adjust his breath. He was most familiar with his spiritual power, and it didn't take much effort to suppress the raging flames in Shi Tianqing's body.

Seeing that the pain in Shi Tianqing's eyebrows was slightly lessened, Lin Yan picked him up.

"I'm already like this," Shi Tianqing squeezed his throat and said, "Can't Ah Yan let me rest?"

"No."

Lin Yan flatly refused and dragged him to the fork on the right.

The forked road on the right was very long, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, an unbreakable stone wall suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yan.

Dead end!

A gigantic boulder fell again to block the way behind him, and his heart shrank suddenly, as if the giant ax hanging above his head had finally fallen, and the worry that had fallen due to Shi Tianqing's interruption rushed up, almost It was about to submerge the top of his head.

He bit the tip of his tongue violently to keep his mind clear.

no, no...

He supported Shi Tianqing with one hand, and held the lead wire of the explosive spirit weapon with the other, but he did not act rashly.

If this road is wrong, there should be a buzzing sound after the road is blocked, he is calm in thought, and his breath can be heard.

Suddenly, the surrounding vibrated uncontrollably as if the sky collapsed and the earth sank, the gravel rolled down, and the smoke and dust blocked his vision. Lin Yan frowned slightly, stared at the shaking stone wall, and silently held his breath.

After a long while, the shaking finally stopped, and the stone wall in front of him also cracked a gap that could allow one person to pass through.

Half of Shi Tianqing's body was hung on Lin Yan's body. The latter held his waist with one hand and pulled his arm with the other, and walked in obliquely through the gap. Shi Tianqing couldn't help but whispered against his earlobe: "I Say you are a lucky star."

Lin Yan's ears were slightly itchy. He reached out to push Shi Tianqing's head away, but naturally lost the strength to hold him. Shi Tianqing fell down again and looked at Lin Yan resentfully. The latter refused to help him at all. He's gone, and he just stood on the side coldly, "Stop pretending."

Shi Tianqing, who had been seen through, touched the tip of his nose and stood up against him.

The layout behind the stone wall is quite different from before the stone wall. At first glance, it looks like a house instead of a road.There are even windows and a moon.

After a closer look, I realized that the window is not a window, and the moon is not the moon.It's just a fake window drawn by the illusion, with a transparent night pearl on it, shedding a little bit of light.

Lin Yan followed the light and looked up, and saw a woman sitting by the dressing table under the window, her back was facing them.A head of black and thick ink-like hair was loosely hung, and a hair tie was tied at the end of the hair, and it seemed that he was doing embroidery work in his hands.

Lin Yan and Shi Tianqing looked at each other, and at the same time read similar shock in each other's eyes.

This figure was exactly the same as the lady who appeared in the dream of the two of them.

Suppressing his thoughts, Lin Yan said first, "If you take the liberty to bother Madam, I ask Madam to forgive you. My two brothers came from the capital of Nanchen and came here to investigate the murder of one person." He paused and continued: "May I ask if Ma'am is the former queen of Nan Chen, Qin Yang."

Shi Tianqing smacked the word "brother" on his lips to appreciate it, and then continued with a smile, "My brother has a beastly face, a hot temper, and vicious methods. He just beat me half to death. I hope my wife will tell the truth. .”

Lin Yan shot Shi Tianqing a glance, and the latter just closed his mouth with a smile.

And the lady was startled by the sound, and turned around as in their dreams, but this time, Lin Yan finally saw her face clearly without being disturbed by other things.

It was a woman with a very gentle face, but she was slightly sick, probably because she died of a disease before her body, because she was a sick ghost.

When she saw the two of them, she looked very surprised, but what she said was: "It's really here?"

Even the voice is soft and delicate.

"I am indeed Qin Yang."

Only then did Lin Yan realize that there were still inconspicuous tear stains on her face.

"What did Madam just say?"

"Could it be a misunderstanding?" Qin Yang thought for a moment, then pondered: "I have been imprisoned here for decades, and a gray-haired old man came here not long ago, and it was the same as what you asked. Tell me, maybe someone will come again in the future, please tell me the truth about the past."

"Madam is straightforward, I should tell the truth," Lin Yan said: "A few days ago, I did see Madam in my dream, but I don't know if it has something to do with that old man."

Qin Yang raised her eyes slightly, as if a little surprised, she shook her head again after a while and said, "Forget it, even if you have nothing to do with that old man, as long as you are willing to listen to me, I will tell you."

Hearing the words, Lin Yan suddenly took out a round and transparent spirit bead from the spirit ring, the bead spun rapidly, and the inside was like snow, crystal clear and pure, "I want to record what Madam said, but I don't know if Madam agrees. "

Qin Yang sat on the dressing table dignifiedly, and only nodded slightly when he heard the words.

"I was detained here, and no one spoke to me for ten years, and I couldn't sleep. I was afraid that one day I would forget how to speak, and I would not be able to tell this past experience again, so I had to repeat it to myself every day. If you It would be nice to be able to record it.”

She lowered her head slightly, as if lost in memory.

"More than ten years ago, after I died, I came to Netherworld with the impermanence of black and white, and reunited with His Majesty who was waiting for me. One day, a Venerable suddenly found us."

"Your Honor?"

"I don't know if he is a man or a ghost, a demon or a god, but I only know that he has profound magic power, so I call him that." Qin Yang said: "He told us that after His Majesty and I passed away, my daughter Yong'an was unwilling to hand over the throne to others , praying before our spirit day and night, got his attention."

Qin Yang sighed softly, "Your Majesty left too early, I was worried and thoughtful, and my life is not long. There are countless wolves, tigers and leopards in the court, and I have no children under my knees. I have already expected that after my death, Yong'an will not end well. Do your best to find a few suitable and brave people for Yongan, let her choose a son-in-law to rely on in the future, and get married as soon as possible."

"But that child is too stubborn." She was clearly helpless, but when talking about her daughter, there was still a soft light in her eyes. "She doesn't want to marry, and she doesn't want to rely on anyone. She just said that even though she is a daughter, she should Keep her father's dynasty."

"She is a teenage daughter's family who never asks about political affairs. How can she keep it?"

When Qin Yang said this, tears fell again, she hurriedly found a silk handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and smiled apologetically at Lin and Shi.

"She couldn't do it by herself, so she begged the venerable, and Yong'an reached an agreement with the venerable, the venerable guarded the dynasty for her, and she forged the yin soldiers for the venerable."

"What evil soldier?"

There seemed to be pain and intolerance in Qin Yang's eyes.

"Living figurines."

Nineteen thousand three hundred and sixty one person.

After death, a person turns into a ghost. Although the physical form is different, the consciousness will not dissipate.

Using the living soul as the bone and the spiritual soil as the skin, destroying their self-consciousness, only obeying the orders of the caster, and never entering reincarnation, they are called living figurines.

Manipulating the soul after death is even against human ethics. It is really unconscionable to kill living people with life sacrifices and use the spirits of living souls that have not entered the nether world to make living figurines.

"Your Majesty and I have already entered the book in Nether, and we cannot leave here to persuade Yong'an. We wanted to ask the Venerable to spare the people of Nanchen, but before we could, the Venerable actually took His Majesty away."

Qin Yang continued: "It was only later that I realized that to refine the living figurines, one must burn the soul of the Ninth Five-Year Lord as a support," she clutched her heart, gasping for breath.

"The burning of the soul is too painful. Your majesty can't bear it. He gradually loses his sanity and wantsonly destroys and attacks the living figurines. The venerable accidentally found that my soul can comfort your majesty, so he detained me here again." She pointed at the pearl. , "There is His Majesty's soul there, and I am here every day to accompany Your Majesty."

She lowered her eyes, covering the red corners of her eyes.

"That's how it happened," she said: "I don't know why a few days ago, I fell into a deep sleep, and I won't know when I wake up. If you were hurt by His Majesty, Qin Yang is willing to atone for your husband."

"This is what we came here for," Lin Yan said, "With Madam's testimony, Nan Chen may be able to get out of the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible."

Qin Yang looked at them in surprise, and after a while, the light in her eyes suddenly dimmed by half, "I still want to beg you, no matter what, don't destroy Yong'an's soul, please allow her to enter reincarnation." She raised her eyes and looked at that A bright soul said, "Also, Yong'an was deceived by others, and she still doesn't know His Majesty is in such pain. If the two of you are merciful, please don't tell Yong'an."

"I will leave it to the Emperor of Heaven to decide how Her Majesty the Empress will deal with it," Lin Yan said, "but I assure you that this matter will be kept secret from Princess Yong'an."

Qin Yang sighed softly when he heard the words, and gently covered the tiger hat on his knees with his fingers.

After turning into a ghost, her face will not change again. Her face is still that of a young queen, but her inner face is empty and old.She never thought that Yong'an would become like this. The girl under Cheng Huan's lap and the crying girl in her arms seemed to have happened a long, long time ago.

And she can only sew over and over again, from a one-year-old hat to a 15-year-old dress, hoping that her daughter will return from her lost journey.

"Madam, do you still remember what the venerable looked like?"

Qin Yang said helplessly: "The old man also asked me, but I can't remember it."

Exactly the same amnesiac was eliminated, no different from what Liu Ren experienced.

"There is nothing else to say," Qin Yang said, "If you can free the three of my family from the sea of ​​suffering, Qin Yang would like to thank you here, if your Excellency is afraid of difficulties..." She said softly: "Qin Yang It doesn't even count."

Lin Yan suddenly lowered his head and bowed to the Central Bank of Qin, "Thank you, madam."

Qin Yang just smiled lightly, like a kind mother, she took down the pearl, closed the illusion of the window, and a hole suddenly appeared.

"Walk through here and you will see a random door. Wherever you two want to go, you can just read in your heart." Qin Yang said: "The old man told me this not long ago, and he left after that. I’ve seen it before, but I think there is a way out.”

"Madam, won't you leave together?"

Qin Yang shook her head slightly, a bitter smile emerged from the corner of her mouth, she stood up from the wooden chair and took a few steps, an invisible chain swayed with swaying brilliance, one end was hidden under the hem of her skirt.

Lin Yan looked at the eyes under her still beautiful and youthful face. There were no wrinkles, but they made people feel old for no reason.

He quietly put away the surging emotions in his heart, lowered his head, picked up the chain, and tried to untie it, but the chain was difficult to break through with spiritual power. It may have been made by the immortals when he locked the Nether Lord back then. that chain.

Lin Yan put down the chain helplessly, but solemnly said to Qin Yang: "Lin Yan promises Madam, within ten days, Madam will be free from suffering."

Standing in front of the cave, the tall and handsome young master had the determination and brightness in his eyes.

After walking a long way through the cave, Shi Tianqing lowered his voice and said with emotion: "Although Princess Yong'an is not a thing, but I am a bit..." He laughed at himself and said, "I envy her."

Lin Yan looked at him and didn't know how to speak for a moment. After a while, he put his hands on Shi Tianqing's shoulders, "The relationship between parents and relatives is fate. If you can be a good elder in the future, it will also be a kindness."

Shi Tianqing shook his head with a smile, "If I can have a niece or nephew, or an apprentice's adopted son, I will give him my heart."

Lin Yan didn't ask why he didn't imagine his own children in his words, but said: "Then I wish you all your wishes come true."

Shi Tianqing waved his hand, but he was only in a daze for a while, and then he returned to that look of laughing and cursing and not paying attention at all.

A door like a water mirror appeared deep in the road, Shi Tianqing reached out to touch the water mirror, and the light stuck to his hand.

"Ah Yan, did you see anything?" He looked at the water mirror and said to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan looked at the water mirror for a while, shook his head, but heard Shi Tianqing say: "There is a beauty who beats, scolds and oppresses me frequently."

Lin Yan replied, "Your Excellency is really lucky."

Shi Tianqing smiled, wiped off the water stains on his hands, and said to Lin Yan, "Where are you going?"

"The imperial capital."

Shi Tianqing nodded, and said again: "I want to go back to Netherworld to recuperate."

Lin Yan knew that he probably didn't want to see Princess Yong'an again, so he cupped his hands and said, "Then let's say goodbye."

"Wait a minute, Ah Yan," Shi Tianqing suddenly grasped his wrist through the sleeve of his robe, "Who is that venerable, I think Ah Yan has already made up his mind, why don't we write it down at the same time, how about a pair?"

"There is no pen and paper here," Lin Yan said, and was about to turn over the spirit ring, but Shi Tianqing hugged him and touched his heart with his fingertips.

"Just write it here."

The clothes were flimsy, and the moment his cold fingertips touched him, Lin Yan was startled suddenly, feeling his hot heart shrank suddenly as if he had been thrown into icy water.

He adjusted his breathing calmly, and put his fingertips on Shi Tianqing's heart.

The three strokes were completely consistent, and the two raised their eyes to look at each other at the same time.Then it was Shi Tianqing who took the lead and said with a smile on his lips: "It's a luck to meet His Highness's thoughts, Shi is honored."

He walked away stepping on the water mirror with a flick of his sleeves, and disappeared as lightly as a wisp of smoke. Lin Yan stood where he was, and gently stroked his heart.

One sound, one sound.

It's his heartbeat.
