After I died, the cold beauty fell from the altar

The slender shadow picked up the wick that was about to be submerged in grease in the copper platform, rekindled the candle that was about to be extinguished, and placed the paper cover painted with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum on it.

"How does the city lord feel after taking those pills for cultivating spirit and nourishing qi that Pindao prepared a few days ago?"

The Taoist held the whisk in his hand, bowed and asked with a smile.

The person who carried the lamp turned around, his words and deeds were modest and gentlemanly: "The elixir prepared by the Taoist Master Jinyuan is very good, and Gu's spirit has improved a lot these few days."

"It's so good, then I'll go and give some more to the city lord."

"The Taoist priest has a heart. Gu has specially prepared a small gift, which is not a respect. I hope the Taoist priest must accept it."

"Hey, you don't have to be polite, the city lord. It's nothing to worry about. As for the trouble of the red ghost, please rest assured that the city lord will get rid of it within three days!"

"Then there will be a long way to go."

In the city lord's mansion, the two chatted happily.

Seeing that Jinyuan said "You're welcome", but his eyes kept looking at the "thin gift", Changshu, who was lying on the eaves, smacked her lips, with a look of disdain on her small and exquisite cheeks: "This man has a sly eyebrow, and he said yes." It's nothing to worry about, I just think about the gold and silver in my heart, how can I be greedy as a cultivator!"

"If you are a human being, you will have the seven emotions and six desires."

Su Wan stood upright by the eaves, her figure hidden in the thick night.

"Uncle Fifth, do you think he is the Taoist who works with the red ghost?" Chang Shu straightened up a little, "He really doesn't look like a good person."

"Hard to say."

He aimed at the shadow of the pangolin mastiff not far away, it was staring at him vigilantly, making a defensive posture, "However, people should not be judged by their appearance."

Judging from the previous behaviors of this person, it really doesn't look like a person with a deep and dark mind, including when he intercepted the red ghost, this guy was also trapped in the fog, but the mountain mastiff beside him was not so simple.

Realizing that "judging people by their appearance" is indeed wrong, Chang Shu seriously reflected on herself, and then looked at her Fifth Martial Uncle. It was probably dark and gloomy tonight, and his outline was shining brightly, so that she always felt like she was looking at a lamp lit in the dark. "Fifth Master Uncle, Erwa Junior Brother follows you every step of the way, why haven't you seen him now?"

"Heal the wound."

Changshu immediately understood that it had something to do with her master, and said after some hesitation, "Fifth Martial Uncle, I have asked my seniors about what happened today. Master, his behavior was not malicious, he just..."

"I know."

He interrupted her.

"Eh? How did you know?"

"A person who is willing to protect the lives of hundreds of thousands of Taoists at the price of death and soul will not be a villain."

These words reminded her of the bright moon that gradually sank in the dark shadows a few months ago.

"Disciple always thought that Master is not a very good person in your heart, just like..."

She hesitated.

"Like he looks at me,"

He bluntly said what she hadn't said, "Nanhua Dao's sect rules didn't teach him to distinguish between ghosts, evil, good and evil, and human relationships. They only taught him how to be a well-behaved sect master, so he didn't understand the thousands of emotions in the world. , who is obsessed with obscurity and does not change, but wants to break through the south wall."

"Fifth Master Uncle, so you see it this way."

Changshu was surprised, and couldn't help admiring him more in her heart.

"Aren't you the same as him before, you were full of thinking about killing all evils in the world, and never asked right or wrong. It's just that later, you chose to look back at this world."

"Fifth Martial Uncle, Master, he also wants to take a look at this world."

"Perhaps."

He doesn't care whether Xu Qingyi wants to see this world, anyway, he and him are destined to be enemies in this life, even if he can understand him from a superficial level, he will not touch him, after all, they are different from each other people.

"I'm ashamed to say it, Fifth Martial Uncle, in fact, I once hated you, and even tempted you with ulterior motives."

Chang Shu bit her lip, and looked down at the gray bricks and tiles.

"is it?"

He didn't expect her to say that, when was it?Is it the first encounter outside Fusheng Hall?Or did she go to Yanyan Peak to give him paper kites?

"Well, at that time, you lost your memory due to madness. Master has always been suspicious of this, so I want to help Master test whether you really lost your memory."

She rubbed the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her hands, "Actually, I am also very afraid of you. Before you became mad, you always had a vicious look to the disciples in your sect, and you often scolded us for being useless. And you You are proud of your talents, have a violent temperament, often fight with your master, and break the rules of the sect repeatedly, even if you are the most cultivated person in Nanhua Dao, except for Elder He, there is no one in the Dao sect who does not fear you and hates you."

"The cultivation base is the highest? That is to say, I am better than Xu Qingyi?"

Su Wan only focused on the key points from the long speeches.

Changshu nodded obediently, "If it wasn't for testing you, I would probably still have a grudge against you like other senior brothers and sisters."

"Not enough."

He thought she was worried that a rift would arise in her heart.

Changshu shook her head vigorously, "Uncle Fifth, do you know that crabapple tree in Fusheng Hall that bloomed for only a few days and then withered?"

Only open for a few days?

Su Wan remembered clearly that the tree bloomed really beautifully.

"It hasn't bloomed for hundreds of years, but just like a sudden spring breeze overnight, the trees are full of flowers blooming on the branches. It's so bright and dazzling, and my disciples can't forget it. Fifth uncle, I want them to see, How beautiful that dumb crabapple blooms."

She looked at him with burning eyes, looking at him like looking at that crabapple, "I want Master and everyone in Nanhua Dao to see it, and they will definitely like it, just like me."

"Have you ever thought that the reason why it doesn't bloom is because it's not suitable for growing there."

Su Wan understood what she meant, and smiled softly, "Me too."

He understands why the system has such a fatal feature, if it doesn't trap him, he will choose to leave Nanhua Road without hesitation.

"Fifth Master Uncle..."

The person in front of her eyes turned into a whirlwind of flames, even if she tried to reach out to grab it, she could only grab the invisible nothingness.

_;

The Changying courtyard of Zuichun Building is very quiet, and from time to time you can hear the painful sound of the candle wick burning. In front of the desk by the window, someone sits solemnly, using the light of the fire to hold a pen and write quickly, penetrating the back of the paper. .

The face with bright eyes and sparse eyebrows is like snow, which makes the candlelight shining on the face add a bit of coldness. What is written in his pen is still the "Heart Sealing Wonderful Sutra", which has been written thousands of times. Feud.

He held the pen barrel tightly, and broke it with his fingertips, and the ink dipped in the tip of the wolf's pen was thrown out, sporadically splashing on the written words on a stack of papers, unceremoniously blurring the handwriting into a blur. lump black.

When Huo Guang was startled by the cold and kept shaking, the people beside the desk had long since disappeared.

_;

"Does he not light the lamp? Or does he fall asleep as soon as he enters the door?"

Watching the man in the city lord's mansion dragging his long and slender shadow, walking through the flower pond, around the rockery, and turning around, he walked into the innermost courtyard.

It was pitch black before he went in, and it was still pitch black after he went in.

Chang Shu's attention was attracted, "The yin energy on this city lord's body is too heavy, no wonder he is seriously ill."

The area around the garden pavilion was thick with fog, exuding wisps of coldness.

"Go and see."

"it is good!"

The girl is like a delicate and light cat, leaping in the air in Miaoman's figure, she has stopped in front of the courtyard, looking at the two closed doors, just as she put her hands on her head, someone behind her scolded: " Where did the wild girl come from! What are you doing so sneakily!"

She was so frightened that she swayed, feeling more "guilty" inexplicably, it couldn't be in the middle of the night, she was a little girl who came to talk to a single man at night by candlelight?

Changshu forced a smile and turned around, only to find that the one who had grabbed her was the Taoist who she thought was "thief-eyed and mouse-eyed".

"It seems that you are also a cultivator, what sect and school did you come from? Didn't your teacher teach you etiquette, righteousness and shame? How could you come here in the middle of the night without being invited? Could it be that you were also invited by the city lord to catch ghosts?"

"I……"

He babbled a lot, and before Changshu could break in, he took up the conversation again, "How can you know how to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits at such a young age! I would like to advise you kindly. Troubling evil spirits are so powerful, they love to eat you, a little girl with delicate skin and tender flesh!"

After saying that, he changed the subject, "But don't be afraid, there are a few protective yellow talismans on Pindao's body. He once asked the three gods to consecrate them, and they can protect those who wear them from all evil. Since you and the poor The Dao is predestined, and the poor Dao can't bear to see you coming to life and death, so you can replace it with three top-grade spirit stones and a protective yellow talisman!"

This little abacus is played so fast that even the little girl is fooled, do you want to be ashamed!

It is not easy for Changshu to be dragged away by a few words. Although "judging people by their appearance" is not good, she now thinks that the words "a person is born from the heart" are very reasonable: "Who cares about you?" Talisman! Even if you give it to me, I don’t want it!”

"Stubborn, rude, who taught you, silly girl! Today I will teach you a good lesson for your master!" Probably because Huang Fu didn't fool around, and was choked by the young junior again, After brushing his face, he was quite angry from embarrassment.

"I think you're tired of living."

The familiar cold voice mixed into the ears, and the young man appeared in front of the angry girl, with a handsome and sinister face with a warm smile, making people feel like falling into an ice cave.

Seeing a "familiar face", he consciously put down his rolled up sleeves, his body was stiff, and he backed away laughingly: "Pindao is joking with the little friend of Nanhuadao! The moonlight is good tonight. Going to appreciate the moon and chant poems, I will not accompany you!"

"It's all here, let's throw stones and ask for directions first."

As soon as the words fell, he was sucked back by a force, no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless.I could only fly towards the door, and knocked the door open with a "bang", and the person rolled in, and let out a scream.

At the same time, the pangolin mastiff who had been observing secretly saw something was wrong and ran over immediately, and followed the figure into the garden pavilion.

Jin Yuan was thinking about how to explain to City Lord Gu that he trespassed on his bedroom in the middle of the night, what if the City Lord was angered and he was no longer treated as a guest of honor, what should he do?

As a result, after waiting for a long time, he did not wait for the city lord to question him. He looked around curiously. The furnishings were neatly arranged, but there was no one inside.

Su Wan and Chang Shu, who were outside, also came in, and naturally discovered the clue of this - they obviously watched the person surnamed Gu come in, it seems that there are other mysteries hidden in this room.
