Weicheng snow

After Duanyue left the palace, Murong Qian got up and closed the door, sat back to his original position, didn't say anything, just lowered his head and didn't want to look at Yi Qingchen, Yi Qingchen stared at him for a while, guessed that this kid probably It was because he was afraid that he would be angry because of the previous deception, and he was afraid that if he ran away, he would be even more angry, so he just sat with his head buried and didn't say a word.

Yi Qingchen looked at him for a while, then said helplessly, "Are you still a child?"

Murong Qian nodded, Yi Qingchen became more and more helpless, obviously he can do everything well without him, but as soon as he is in front of him, he will return to the clingy person he was ten years ago No matter how you think about it, it seems like you have dragged him down.Looking at the poor Murong Qian in front of him, Yi Qingchen couldn't open his mouth to blame him no matter what, no matter how angry he was, he could only hold back in his heart, the words were chewed several times in his mouth, and finally he could only turn into a helpless sigh, "Don't hide it from me anymore."

Murong Qian raised his head when he heard the words, his face seemed to be much more refreshed, but he still answered very well, "Mmm..."

Yi Qingchen said casually, "Although you have your reasons, it's not the first time you lied to me. I'm quite hurt..." After finishing speaking, he only looked at the flowing clouds outside the Xuan window, and his thoughts were a little empty. "But it doesn't matter. At most, I can only make a petition to you, but I can't restrain you with shackles. You have your own plans, and you don't have to take care of me in the future."

Murong Qian wilted again, and wanted to continue apologizing to Yi Qingchen, but found that Yi Qingchen's eyes were not on him at all, he silently stared at Yi Qingchen's side face for a full cup of tea before getting up went out.

Right now, Yi Qingchen's arms and legs were broken by Yeluo, and only one head in his whole body could move freely, and he was trapped in a wheelchair, just like a pig.

After sitting for more than half an hour, imagining the end of the southern march countless times in his mind, Yi Qingchen was also a little tired, just when he was falling asleep, Murong Qian pushed the door and walked in, holding a bag in his hand. The plate of pastries and fruits is clearly separated by most of the palace, but the strong aroma of taro can be smelled.

As soon as Yi Qingchen smelled this smell, most of the drowsiness dissipated immediately, Murong Qian put the pastry and fruit plate on the tea table in front of Yi Qingchen, and asked with a smile, "Which brother Xue want to eat?"

Yi Qingchen never had trouble with food, looked at a lavender pastry on the plate and asked, "Taro cake?"

Murong Qian picked up the taro cake, broke it into small pieces, and fed it to Yi Qingchen's mouth. Although Yi Qingchen felt a little awkward, he had no choice but to eat it obediently.

The outer skin of the taro cake is very crispy, and the inner filling is very sweet. Yi Qingchen was quite satisfied with eating it. Murong Qian didn't eat it, but just kept feeding Yi Qingchen, but he also smiled happily. Yi Qingchen caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye. The expression on Murong Qian's face was one of nostalgia and helplessness.

The two interacted in such a wordless manner, Yi Qingchen ate a full six cakes, until he couldn't hold on any longer, then reluctantly said to Murong Qian, "I'm full, you can eat."

Murong Qian took back the pastry that was fed to Yi Qingchen's lips, and put it into his mouth.

When Murong Qian was almost finished eating, Yi Qingchen asked, "You are the only one living in your palace?" Murong Qian was stunned, and Yi Qingchen said again, "Everyone else has servants, yours Where is the servant?"

Murong Qian lowered his eyes and said, "I was afraid they would frighten Brother Xue, so I sent them to guard the entrance of Juexian Valley."

Yi Qingchen recalled Duanyue Yeluo's Faceless Ghost, Jiang Jiuqu's Hundred Ghosts, and Guoshi's Yanjia. They were indeed not very beautiful, and it was a waste of mood to look at them, so he understood Murong Qian's intentions in such an arrangement. Instead, he asked, "I've wanted to ask you since a long time ago, how will you end this troubled world for me?"

Murong Qian chuckled lightly, shook his head and said, "You don't need Brother Xue to bother you, Brother Xue, you just need to sit comfortably and wait."

Yi Qingchen felt uneasy, "Mr. Dugu's behavior style is very clear to me. To achieve the goal, you can make great sacrifices. You were taught by him, so..."

Murong Qian looked into Yi Qingchen's eyes, and said with a light smile, "He did teach me, but I'm still a little different from him..."

Yi Qingchen struggled and said, "Then, is there Shen Chi and the others in your sacrifice list?"

Murong Qian sneered when he heard this, got up and brushed off the crumbs of cakes on his clothes, then went to the pool made of green carnations and bamboo rows outside the room to clean his hands, staring at the bottom of the pool, black and white pebbles were dotted all over the pool, like a plate about to go Finished chess.His voice was a little cold, "I said earlier that I wanted Brother Xue to stay in Weicheng... If you had listened to me, even for a little bit, the only ones who died now were the Marrow Sect and the South Marching Army. ...but right now, Brother Xue, you chose to leave Weicheng..."

"I can only save you alone..."

The sound of the water was murmuring and the palace was cold. After Murong Qian said this, the conversation between the two stopped abruptly, replaced by an endless silence. Murong Qian tidied up the bed and carried Yi Qingchen onto the couch , Tucked in the corner of the quilt, turned and left the palace just now.

As twilight approaches, there is no warm candle to light up the corner, only the faint glow of the night pearl remains. When there is nothing to do, people always tend to think about many things, and Yi Qingchen is no exception, he is always inevitable I have to think back to when did I start following the Tao of the Marrow Sorcerer?Did it start when you walked into Wolftoe Village?

They will pass through Langzhi Village, which seems to have been arranged long ago. After all, when the Food Marrow Sect was wiped out ten years ago, they did not come to this village, which shows that this village is not the only way to reach Juexian Valley. , if the route was chosen by Yu Mu and Mr. Dugu himself, then the problem probably lies on the map.

From this point of view, the maidservant of Luoshen seems to play a vital role in the whole plan. As the eyeliner of the Food Marrow Cult placed in Qianji Pavilion, she can get in touch with all kinds of secrets circulating in the rivers and lakes in the first place and convey them to others. The Marrow Sect, so it can also explain why the Marrow Sect can know so much news that only the insiders of the Zongmen family know.

There should be more than one eyeliner like Luoshen Maid. Yi Qingchen has only now fully recognized the power of the Marrow Sect. Even when facing the national teacher, he has never had such a clear and intuitive feeling. Until this moment, when he sorted out When the clues came along the way, Fang Cai felt a little shuddering.

What's even more frightening is that Luoshen Maid knows a lot of secrets and is calm and sober enough, but she didn't choose to be loyal to Qianji Pavilion or the Central Plains, but instead joined the Food Marrow Cult. People like her who deal with secrets all day long, It is impossible to have a handle in other people's hands. Yi Qingchen can only explain that she chose the Marrow Food Sect voluntarily. She also yearns for the so-called method of bringing the dead back to life, and she firmly believes in it.

There are many such people.

In a trance, Yi Qingchen figured out one more thing. The Marrow Food Sect has been experimenting with the method of resurrecting the dead in various places over the years. It may not be just an experiment, but a purposeful message to the outside world: the method of resurrecting the dead really exists. It is not perfect, but we are constantly working hard to improve it.

It's scary to think about it this way, Luoshen Maid is a spider standing in the center of the spider web, spreading the bait delivered by the Marrow Sect to every corner of the spider web, it may be the imperial court, it may be the aristocratic family, it may be every corner of the Central Plains. ... Even if some people are opposed to the existence of the Marrow Sect on the surface, but what about behind the scenes?Maybe it was taught towards the marrow...

The more Yi Qingchen thought about it, the colder his heart became. The worst guess is that most of the aristocratic sects have received evidence that the Marrow Sect has tested the method of bringing the dead back to life. Some people have listened to the Marrow Sect and chose Helping in secret, some people insist on morality and reject the invitation of Marrow Eater Sect, and a larger part of people, they are like weeds on the wall, watching, weighing, and pondering, they will always stand in a central position, and no one will help. Just take a closer look, once there is a downturn in one side of the battle, they will all rush to support the other side, making things worse, and pushing the wall down. This is what this kind of people like to do most.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a sudden knock on the door, which interrupted Yi Qingchen's train of thought. He breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down his uneasy mood. He realized that he was already covered in cold sweat, and took a few deep breaths to straighten out his breath. Just now he asked, "Who?"

This knock on the door, and the strength is not like a man, it should not be Murong Qian.

No one answered, the door was knocked three more times, Yi Qingchen felt vigilant, and asked again, "Who is it?" Still no one answered, Yi Qingchen didn't dare to make a sound.

The door was knocked again, this time, before Yi Qingchen could make a sound, the door was kicked open from the outside.

The movement was so loud that Yi Qingchen felt that the whole palace was shaking. Yi Qingchen looked towards the gate in shock, and saw Yeluo twitching her hands, with an impatient expression on her face, she glared at Yi Qingchen for a long time. After a long while, he cursed, "Grandma." Then he walked to the side, leaned against the door frame, and said to Dou Zi beside him, "Here, it's inside, just walk along the blanket and you'll be there."

Douzi happily hugged Yeluo, ran along the carpet into the palace, groped up the stone steps, and groped to the front of Yi Qingchen's couch, grabbed the back of Yi Qingchen's hand, patted comfortingly, revealing A big smile comes.

Yi Qingchen seemed to understand Douzi's intentions, and said, "The wound has healed a lot, it doesn't hurt, and it should heal soon. If you come here at this hour, Wuliang will be worried, right?"

Douzi shook his head with a smile, and pointed in the direction of the door, Yi Qingchen followed the trend, and his eyes fell on Yeluo.Yeluo glanced at the two of them, and snorted coldly, "The bald man is very relieved, after all, I'm with you." She urged Douzi, "But in half an hour, it's time for you to go to bed, please tell me quickly." Finished, my sister said, it is time for you to grow your body, and you can grow taller by resting more."

Douzi and Yeluo nodded, put a book on the couch, poked the cover to signal Yi Qingchen, and Yi Qingchen remembered that when Murong Qian was a child, he would always tell him all kinds of things in different ways. Now Douzi is about the same age as Murong Qian at that time, so he should also like listening to stories.So he smiled gratifiedly, and said to Douzi, "Brother's hand is injured, he can't hold the book, and the room is quite dark, why don't you tell me a story about yourself? If you don't like it, brother can think of a way." To light a lamp?"

Douzi nodded understandingly, showing an expectant look, and sat beside the bed with the book in his arms, waiting quietly for the next words from Yi Qingchen.

In fact, it is not a very pleasant story, but it is just a selection of interesting daily life when living in Lingshan, but Douzi is yearning for it. When the story goes to Qingling Peak to feed the cranes, the bed sank, and the clothes Qingchen stopped making a sound.

Yeluo walked slowly, picked up the sleeping Douzi, and when she turned around, she looked at Yi Qingchen thoughtfully, as if she wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth, but said nothing He couldn't come out, so he had to turn his head and leave, but this time, he kindly helped Yi Qingchen close the door of the palace.

Yi Qingchen lay on the couch for a while longer, and fell asleep before Murong Qian came back.

In the early morning of the next day, Murong Qian still didn't come back, instead Duan Yue arrived as promised, waiting for Yi Qingchen to give a second question. At that time, Yi Qingchen had already been lying awake on the couch for three hours, because he couldn't move, So no matter how bored he felt, he couldn't get out of bed on his own, and the arrival of Broken Moon was tantamount to the arrival of a savior.

He hurriedly asked Duanyue, "It's boring to stay here all the time, and Xiaoqian won't come back, do you know where he went?"

Duanyue shook her head, "The protectors do not interfere with each other, and the tasks they receive are kept secret from each other."

Yi Qingchen sighed, and said helplessly, "But look at me, I can't wash, eat, dress, go out alone, and he won't come back..."

Duanyue understood the hint in Yi Qingchen's words, chuckled lightly, fetched hot water for him to wash, and helped Yi Qingchen put on his coat, Yi Qingchen sat beside the bed, watching Duanyue leaning over The appearance of wearing boots for himself, for a moment, he actually forgot the position of the two of them. Although he was sober for a moment, he couldn't help but feel sorry.

Duanyue naturally couldn't hold Yi Qingchen, so she could only push the wheelchair to the side of the couch, and with difficulty supported Yi Qingchen to move over slowly.Yi Qingchen asked Duanyue, "Why don't you call some servants to help?"

Duanyue wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said with a wry smile, "I thought I could do it, so I wanted to give it a try. It seems that I was really well protected by Yeluo, and my physical strength was not as good as before."

The two walked along the mountain road to the flat ground, Duanyue asked Yi Qingchen where he wanted to go, Yi Qingchen couldn't come up with an answer, thought for a long time, and said with a slight joke, "This time you captured a lot of prisoners from the South Marching Army, right?"

Duanyue nodded, "However, Jiuqu captured the people, and they were all imprisoned in the Palace of Freedom."

Yi Qingchen suddenly had a bold idea, and said to Duanyue tentatively, "Can you go to Zizai Palace with my words?"

Duanyue laughed and said, "There is no senior brother among the captives, nor are there Asheng and Ayi. Even so, do you want to go and see?"

Yi Qingchen thought about it, "I know they are unlikely to be caught, so I'm curious... is there any one of those captives wearing a red official uniform, who looks somewhat similar to Jiang Jiuqu? man?"

Duanyue thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't know about that..."

Yi Qingchen said, "Right now, my hands and feet are useless, I can't do anything, so why not go and have a look?"

Duanyue bowed her head and thought for a while, before she compromised, "Okay..." Pushing the wheelchair, he walked towards the road opposite to the Wangqing Monument, and at the end of the walk, there was only a mountain wall.Duanyue did not stop, but went straight to the mountain wall, passing through a natural curtain made of vines, passing a short cave, and suddenly a palace appeared in front of him.
