Until the evening, Xiao Qing did not tell Lu Jinzhi about Tianming. Instead, after returning to his room, he summoned a paper crane to send a message. After a while, a hidden guard quietly appeared in the room. Kneeling down, like a ghost.

Xiao Qing said indifferently: "Tomorrow, you will take a group of people to a small bamboo forest outside the city to clean up the scourge. Remember to act carefully. The people behind the scenes are surreptitious, and their tricks are unpredictable. If you lose, send a letter to me at that time .”

The dark guard kowtowed, leading the order to hide in the darkness, and a gust of wind closed the wide open window.

Xiao leaned on the bamboo couch and read the book by candlelight for a while, and what he was reading was still the Heart Sutra given to him by Fu Mingqiu. Whenever he found this book, Fu Mingqiu's voice would ring in his mind: "Your son is talented. Zhuo Jue, it’s just that your mind is unstable, reading more books like this will be more helpful to you.”

Occasionally Xiao Qing thought of Fu Mingqiu, and it gave him a headache. He felt that Fu Mingqiu in this life was somewhat different from the one depicted in the book, but he didn't understand where the difference came from.If Lu Jinzhi was the one he couldn't see through the most, it would be Fu Mingqiu.

This person's behavior is a mystery, his traces are a mystery, and the whole person is a huge mystery.

Xiao Qing thought about it for a while, and decided to let things go as usual. She extinguished the candle with a wave of her sleeves, took off her coat by the moonlight, lay back on the bed, and slept with her eyes closed until the sky was bright, when she was woken up by a slight knock on the window he.

Xiao Qing endured the pain of getting out of bed, cloaked in clothes, got up and opened the window, a paper crane flew in through the window, circled Xiao Qing three times, and landed in his palm.

The news was sent by the hidden guard, indicating that Xiaozhu had been cleaned up. They had a fight with the people behind the scenes, and finally the behind-the-scenes people asked them to send a message to Xiao Qing: You are ruthless.

Under the gray morning light, Xiao Qing smiled coldly, and the paper crane shattered into brilliance in the palm of his hand: "Since I promised, it's time to fulfill my promise."

He promised to take Lu Jinzhi there, but he didn't say what the circumstances were for taking him there. Don't blame him for being ruthless, but the black shadow man should blame himself for being too stupid.

Xiao Qing dressed and turned to go to the next door. After knocking three times, Lu Jinzhi opened the door, looked at him and said in a daze, "Uncle so early?"

Xiao Qing glanced at his neatly dressed clothes in astonishment: "Didn't you wake up yourself too?"

Lu Jinzhi smiled slightly, and heard a clear young voice from inside the room: "Why is he here?!"

Xiao Qing tilted his head to look behind Lu Jinzhi, and saw a young man in a light yellow robe standing in the room with angry eyes, followed by several disciples wearing uniform family robes.

"Hey, isn't this late night? I haven't seen you for a long time, and you're all right?"

Due to various reasons, Wan Zhou disliked Xiao Qing very much, turned his head and refused to pay attention, Lu Jinzhi frowned and said, "Don't be rude."

Wan Zhou snorted softly, but he still wanted to listen to Lu Jinzhi's words. This is the so-called charm of the protagonist, so he reluctantly turned his head to look at Xiao Qing, and almost gritted his teeth and popped out these words: "Palace Master Xiao good!"

Xiao Qing smiled, turned around and brought up something serious to Lu Jinzhi: "You go out with me."

"it is good."

Xiao Qing raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You didn't even ask where you were going?"

Lu Jinzhi shook his head: "I will go wherever my uncle tells me to go."

As if a feather flicked slightly in his heart, Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, recovered his senses and closed his eyes to hide the chaos in his eyes, and said softly: "Then let's go."

The two were about to go out the door, Wan Zhou ran over to stop them, and the disciples following behind Wan Zhou also surrounded them, Wan Zhou said: "I'll be with you too!"

He looked at Xiao Qing very vigilantly.

Xiao Qing raised his eyelids and said lazily: "Can I still eat your young master?"

Wan Zhou didn't know where he was going, so he blushed and said, "Who... who knows, will you..." His voice became smaller and smaller, until finally it was inaudible .

Xiao Qing didn't hear clearly: "Huh?"

Lu Jinzhi pulled Xiao Qing behind him, and said to Wan Zhou, "You take people to stay in Zhuangzi, and you are not allowed to leave without my order."

"But..." After Wan Zhou raised his eyes to see Lu Jinzhi's expression clearly, the following words were abruptly stopped in his mouth, and after a while, Wan Zhou shrugged his head depressedly, and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, sir, remember to set off the signal flare .”

Xiao Qing was about to leave, but Lu Jinzhi pulled him and said, "Master, wait a minute."

He turned and went into the room, and after a while he came out with a sable fur cloak and put it on Xiao Qing's shoulders, his tone was as gentle as water: "The dew is heavy in the morning, uncle is not well, don't catch the cold wind."

Xiao Qing smiled, it was just right to be bright and charming under the early morning light: "Thank you."

Wan Zhou: "..."

The two rode their horses along the bamboo forest path, and soon arrived in front of the small building deep in the bamboo forest. Many of Xiao Qing's subordinates had already surrounded the small building, and some of them were seriously injured. Xiao Qing glanced at it. After roughly understanding the level of martial arts of the black shadow man, he took the lead and entered Xiaozhuli.

There was still unfinished embroidery on the bluestone table in the side of the courtyard. It looked like a child's bellyband. He was a little puzzled. This is the territory of the shadow people. Why are there women and children?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a woman's groan from inside the room. Xiao Qing's face changed, and he walked over quickly and kicked open the door. In the flying dust, a girl was stripped naked and tied to a pillar. On her body, there were many cruel scars all over her body, almost staining her with blood.

Seeing the man entering the room, the girl tremblingly closed her eyes, tears running down her face.

Xiao Qing immediately took off his cloak and put it on the girl to cover her body, and took out the strip of cloth stuffed in her mouth, his heart softened in a mess: "Yaner?"

Yan'er was in pain all over, she kept trembling, the thick rouge on her face was washed off for some reason, and the small face that was exposed was the same as in Fusang Ruomu's illusion, beautiful and beautiful, it must be special when she smiles nice.

But maybe Yan'er hasn't laughed for more than ten years.

Lu Jinzhi also walked in and closed the door to block the view from the outside.However, once the door was closed, the faint morning light was shut out, and the room was almost oppressively dark.

Xiao Qing waited for Yan'er to calm down, and then asked softly: "Did you pretend to be stupid for more than ten years?"

Yan'er didn't speak, but the tears on her face kept flowing.

After a while, she said in a hoarse voice: "I pretended to be crazy and stupid, covered my face with ugly rouge, and went to the street every night to sing my aunt's songs, just thinking that maybe one day the young master will meet you." Me, I will tell him about those things."

Because she was afraid that someone would find her and ask about the whereabouts of the young master, she kept pretending for decades, but she was also afraid that the young master would be used by others without knowing her background, so she sang her aunt's songs repeatedly on the street every night.

Lu Jinzhi squatted beside her, but Yan'er was no longer able to open her eyes to take a look at the chaotic world, she choked up and said, "If it wasn't for my ignorance back then, maybe the result would not be like this."

She blamed herself for not recognizing Ning Huan at the first time, making her aunt miss the only salvation.

Xiao Qing listened to her quietly, tightly holding her only intact hands, her fingers trembling badly because of the pain.

Xiao Qing asked: "Did Ning Huan take out that shadow orb that records your past from your memory?"

Yan'er's voice was very weak, but she still answered him: "When my aunt died, I took my child to look for the Taoist priest I met before in Fusang Ruomu. After searching for a long time, I finally found it. The Taoist priest's self-remembering I extracted the Shadow Bead from here, and put it on the young master's neck, just to let the young master know his life experience when he grows up."

Lu Jinzhi looked at her, and a look of extreme pain flashed in his eyes.

Yan'er coughed up a mouthful of blood, which stained her petite chin red. Her heart and lungs were broken. Even if she used spiritual power to repair it at this time, it was already too late.

Perhaps because of Lu Jinzhi's aura as the protagonist, Yan'er followed the character settings in this world and explained the cause and effect in every detail.

Xiao Qing really wanted to ask her why, why he was so devoted to a person who was hunted down, but he couldn't ask her while holding Yan'er's cold fingers, Yan'er closed her eyes and sighed: "I was thinking back then, If only I could sew a long-lived apron for the unborn child in my aunt's arms, it would be great..."

"At that time, I was holding such a small child, but I didn't know that this was a farewell."

Yan'er's voice fell, and there was no more life.

The girl still has the appearance of more than ten years ago, with tears glistening on her closed eyelashes, she will carry regrets until she dies, and she will never know that the baby she once held is beside her at this moment, Meiyu listened painfully to her talking about the past.

After a long period of silence, until the sun was high and the sunlight entered the room through the window paper, Xiao Qing asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell Yan'er that you were here?"

Lu Jinzhi lowered his head, and his voice was very soft: "I still don't think it's true, uncle, do you know that I have been the second son of the Lu family for more than ten years, and in the past few months I have broken the old one after another, telling me that I am not. "

"If my name is not Lu Jinzhi, then who should I be?"

Xiao Qing gently put Yan'er on the ground, covered her with a cloak, opened the door and walked out, Chen Xi looked at half of his handsome face turned sideways, and said to him: "You are Chengyuan Gonggong of the Shangqing sect. Master Fu Mingqiu's disciple is my nephew."

The sun is shining, the temperature is just right, the wind is blowing, and it is gentle and just right.

The plague in the southern border country was fierce, and the royal family couldn't take Lu Jinzhi down, so the high-level officials came up with the idea of ​​succeeding Princess Yushang, but their demands were all refuted by the most powerful person, Yuap, and even the king's mouth was useless .

After all, what Zhao Si enjoys is the admiration of all people, and he cannot be moved easily.

So that night, Xiao Qing received a blood letter from his subordinates, which was sent by Yushang after trying his best.

After Xiao Qing finished reading, he silently burned the book in blood on the candle, sat under the window and let the wind blow for a while, and then said to his subordinates: "You arrange manpower to meet her."

The subordinate hesitated and said, "Didn't the lord offend Nanjiang Zhaosi?"

Xiao Qing turned his head to look at him, and said with a sneer, "The Southern Border Kingdom is about to disappear, where is Zhaosi?"

So his subordinates went to work with expressions of admiration and awe.

Xiao Qing is very familiar with this expression. When he was in Yunjin City, the old bustard of Wanhualou also looked like this. He thought he was the one who stirred up all the troubles in Yunjin City.

Xiao Qing: "..."

Maybe Yuanshen sometimes thought about cleaning up his scapegoat, but because it was too deep-rooted, even his subordinates firmly believed in his personality, so he gave up.

Xiao Qing went out and knocked on the door next door, but no one responded after a long time, he sighed, turned and went to the room where Zhou Wei lived.

Ever since what happened to Yan'er, Lu Jinzhi has been unable to see anyone for two or three days. Sometimes when he sees him, he is even more exposed, and he comes back exhausted, with a pale face.

During this period, Lu Jinzhi's degree of blackness also got his wish, increasing by 5%, and now it is 85%.

The farther to the back, Xiao Qing found that the degree of blackening was more difficult to increase, and he was a little worried for a while. When he reached the end, what method should be used to increase the degree of blackening?

Zhou Wei has already woken up these days. As soon as Xiao Qing walked to the door, Zhou Wei opened the door and came out. He was taken aback when he saw him, and then he smiled and called, "Master."

Xiao Qing helped him to sit on the wicker chair under the sun, and asked, "How is your recovery?"

Zhou Wei said warmly: "It's much better. If the master leaves in a hurry, he doesn't have to think about the disciples."

Xiao Qing said "Yes", and chatted with him about cultivation for a while, and asked how he was learning "The Art of Yuling the Spirit". Zhou Wei answered honestly, occasionally asking a question or two, and the atmosphere between the two harmonious.

Turning to a certain page, Zhou Wei paused his fingers, pointed to the passage in the book, and asked: "Master, it says that the bone-corrosion poison is the mortal enemy of Linghai, and there are poisons in the world that can cause damage to Linghai. Damaged?"

Xiao Qing leaned slightly to look at it, his expression became cold: "Don't think about these things, you just need to know that they are harmful things."

Zhou Wei saw that his expression was different, so he started talking about other things.

Not far away until a man in black appeared quietly, Xiao Qing slowly got up and said: "I have something to do, let's go out for a while, don't rush to practice, you can handle it yourself."

Zhou Wei nodded obediently, watched Xiao Qing go away, then got up and went back to the room, took off his robe with a blank expression, put it in the basin and scrubbed it.

The author has something to say: Some plots may not be written in the text, so let's write it as an Easter egg.

Chu Qiuping's little apprentice, Ning Huan, likes his master. When he hugged the children of his master and senior brother, in order to deceive others, he walked with Yun Miao and called him a Taoist companion.

They lied a lot, such as brothers and sisters.

Ning Huan is an idiot emotionally, otherwise he would not have let his elder brother cheat his master away, so this idiot would not know the reason why a woman gave up her freedom and was bound by his side.
