Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

Looking at the two lanterns in his hands, Lin Rufei's expression almost froze. He slowly raised his head and asked in a deep voice, "Who put the lanterns on?"

Gu Xuandu said: "Qi Yansheng, one was released on that day, and the other was released yesterday." He lazily said, "The one released yesterday said Xiao Yu, but on that day, it was written about Meng Lanruo."

Countless thoughts were running in Lin Rufei's mind, and finally gathered into an incredible guess. Lin Rufei finally asked that sentence: "Is Meng Langruo dead?"

Gu Xuan neither responded nor denied it.

"What's going on, Meng Langruo, the Meng family, Xiao Yu, and Qi Yansheng." At this moment, the sense of disobedience that existed in the first place became stronger, and countless questions flooded Lin Rufei's mind, " Could it be that Qi Yansheng killed Meng Langruo?"

Gu Xuandu said: "Don't worry, these things can be figured out slowly." Lin Rufei's face was solemn, but he had a smile in his eyes, "This is the charm of the world. You didn't expect it." He saw the truth, but he didn't want to unravel it, some answers are not as interesting as finding them by himself, this is the purpose of traveling the rivers and lakes.

Gu Xuandu didn't want to keep Lin Rufei ignorant of the world forever, he preferred to watch Lin Rufei grow up little by little.

Such was the case with the Meng family, Gu Xuan could have said it directly, but he didn't.

Lin Rufei also understood what Gu Xuandu meant, and his mood gradually calmed down. He grabbed the lantern and sat down, staring at the names on the lantern in silence for a long time.

"I'm going to find Qi Yansheng." Lin Rufei said, "He must know the truth."

Gu Xuandu smiled and said: "You know, no matter what you do, I will support you."

Lin Rufei put down the lantern, turned around and left.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the lights were turned on in the Meng Mansion, and the luxuriant flowers in the daytime looked a little more gloomy at this time.Lin Rufei walked in the familiar scenery around her, but felt strange for no reason.The only thing that remains the same is the strong aroma of the kylin grass.

However, after staying in the Meng Mansion for so many days, Lin Rufei's nose was almost used to this smell, and he probably wouldn't be able to smell it after a while.

Qi Yansheng's room was on the south side of the Meng Mansion, very close to where Meng Lanruo lived.I don't know if it was a coincidence, Lin Rufei didn't meet anyone on the way to find Qi Yansheng, and the servants who used to walk through the Meng's mansion disappeared at this time.

When we arrived at Qi Yansheng's residence, we could see the dim light coming from the window from the outside. It seemed that Qi Yansheng was in the house.

But when Lin Rufei raised her hand to knock on the door, she found that the door of the room was half open, but there was no one in the room to answer.He hesitated for a moment, then called Qi Yansheng's name a few more times, but there was still no response.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Rufei let out an interruption, raised her hand and opened the door, but saw that the room was empty, only a few oil lamps were lit, and Qi Yansheng was nowhere to be seen.

Qi Yansheng's residence is very simple. In the living room, there is only a wooden table and a few chairs. On the wooden table, there is not even a cup of tea for drinking.There is a huge screen at the corner of the living room, behind the screen is Qi Yansheng's bedroom.

Lin Rufei came in hastily, already feeling something was wrong, and seeing that Qi Yansheng was really not there, she planned to leave.But who would have thought that as soon as he turned around, there was a crackling sound from the dormitory room, Lin Rufei frowned and asked, "Qi Yansheng?"

No one answered.

Lin Rufei hesitated for a moment, but still walked towards the bedroom.He bypassed the screen and saw the scene in the dormitory, but what puzzled him was that there was no one in the dormitory, but the sound seemed so close at hand.This Qi Yansheng bedroom is almost as simple as the living room, except for the bed and the table, there is only a small wardrobe, and the sound seems to come from the wardrobe.

Following the sound, Lin Rufei walked to the closet, grabbed the handle and was about to pull it away, when Qi Yansheng's surprised voice suddenly came from behind, "Young Master Lin, what are you doing?"

Lin Rufei gave her hands a slight pause, and turned her head to see Qi Yansheng who appeared behind her at some point. Being grabbed by the owner of the house like this, Lin Rufei felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Qi Yansheng didn't seem to care, just He smiled and said that he had some business to go out, and asked Lin Rufei what was the matter.

Lin Rufei said: "I heard some noises in this closet."

Qi Yansheng said: "Sound?" He glanced at the closet and said indifferently, "It must be a mouse. The Meng family has a lot of flowers and plants, so it is normal to have mice."

Lin Rufei didn't believe it, he frowned and looked at Qi Yansheng, and said, "Young Master Qi, you are a distinguished guest of the Meng Manor, so you probably wouldn't do anything harmful to Young Master Meng."

Qi Yansheng smiled slightly: "What do you mean by Mr. Lin?"

Lin Rufei said, "I was there that night."

Qi Yansheng pursed his lips.

Lin Rufei said: "I saw you and Xiao Yu setting up lanterns by the river."

When Qi Yansheng heard this, he seemed very calm, calmly said: "I just took freshly boiled white fungus and lotus seeds from the kitchen, how about serving a bowl to Mr. Lin, and we can talk slowly?"

Lin Rufei looked at him: "Okay."

The closet was still ringing, but the two tacitly didn't mention it. Walking into the living room, Qi Yansheng filled two bowls of white fungus, handed one bowl to Lin Rufei, and drank the one in front of him.

"It's so late, Mr. Lin came to see me, there must be something wrong," he opened his mouth after finishing his drink.

Lin Rufei was not in a hurry, just waited like this, he said: "There are two lanterns you put up, and I have taken them back."

Qi Yansheng paused slightly.

"There is Xiaoyu's name on it, which can be explained." Lin Rufei said, "But can you tell me why the name on the other lamp is Meng Langruo?"

If it's just Xiao Yu, Qi Yansheng can be said to pay homage to Xiao Yu who died in vain, but if Meng Lang is still alive and well, who would write the name of a living person on the lantern used by the dead?The weird situation in the mansion must be inseparable from Qi Yansheng.

Qi Yansheng was not angry when his actions were exposed, but he laughed and said softly, "Young master Lin has a heart."

Lin Rufei looked at Qi Yansheng expressionlessly.

Qi Yansheng took another sip of white fungus, and said calmly, "Young master Lin, you know that in this world, everyone has some secrets that cannot be shared with others."

Lin Rufei said coldly: "Everyone has secrets, but it's not a reason to hurt others. The Meng family treats you well, so why would you do such a heartbreaking thing?"

"Yeah, the Meng family treated me kindly." Qi Yansheng sighed long and hard, "If it wasn't for their family treating me kindly, why would I have to stay in Xinzhou City for ten years?" .”

ten years?Qi Yansheng had been a distinguished guest in the Meng family for ten years, Lin Rufei frowned, feeling that things were a little more complicated.

Qi Yansheng said: "Mr. Lin, I can only tell you that I never thought of hurting Meng Langruo. He is a child I have watched grow up. It is too late to pet him. How could I do anything against him?" .”

Lin Rufei said, "How do you explain the lantern?"

Qi Yansheng showed a distressed expression, and he didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about how to explain it. Lin Rufei was not in a hurry, and sat beside him quietly waiting.

"Sorry Mr. Lin, I'm afraid I can't answer you." Qi Yansheng opened his mouth.

Lin Rufei knew that she couldn't get the answer from Qi Yansheng, she got up and was about to leave, but when she walked to the door, she suddenly noticed something, she turned her head and shouted, "Qi Yansheng."

Qi Yansheng hummed softly.

"Your name, is it really Qi Yansheng?" Lin Rufei said, "I've heard of the art of Yansheng, and when I first heard your name, I thought it was strange. Is there really someone in the world with such an inauspicious name?"

The expression on Qi Yansheng's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Lin Rufei silently.

The technique of disgusting victory, also known as the technique of Nightmare Town, refers to the spells of various media to curse others. This spell is very vicious. Those who are hit by this spell will destroy their homes in the slightest, and die in severe cases.

The name is the most important symbol of a person. Lin Rufei came from Kunlun, and the jade on it is famous, so she got the name Rufei.

But Qi Yansheng, is there really an elder who would give such an unlucky name to a younger generation?

If these things hadn't happened in the Meng family, Lin Rufei might only think that Qi Yansheng's elders were irresponsible, but at this moment he felt that there was a mystery hidden in it.

Qi Yansheng is not as simple as he appears, and neither is his name.

Qi Yansheng laughed suddenly, the laughter was extremely ear-piercing, and even bent down because he laughed so hard, he patted the table and said loudly: "Good question, good question! Mr. Lin, you The question is really wonderful." His voice faded, and he turned to muttering to himself: "If no one asks me again, I will almost forget it."

Lin Rufei said: "Forget what?"

Qi Yansheng said, "Forget my name."

Lin Rufei showed a clear look, Xindao Qi Yansheng's real name is really not this.

Qi Yansheng sighed, and said, "Young master Lin, why leave in a hurry, the night is still long, we can talk slowly."

Lin Rufei then turned back and sat down in front of Qi Yansheng. He probably felt that the atmosphere was a little stiff. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a jug of good wine from the Xuna ring and placed it on the table.

Qi Yansheng laughed when he saw the wine, poured it into the glass unceremoniously and drank it, and praised: "Good wine."

Lin Rufei said: "Wine is naturally good wine."

Qi Yansheng said: "Good wine should also have a good story." He leaned back on the chair with a lazy posture, the arrogance between his brows had long since disappeared, but he had become as steady and deep as an old man, "Mr. Lin, do you know that there is a place called Wuyu in the south of Yunxiang."

Lin Rufei said: "I know."

This place is famous for witchcraft. There used to be two ancient great witches. Although they are not as brilliant as they used to be, they are still not easy to provoke.It is said that there are ten people randomly found on the side of the road, and nine of them are proficient in witchcraft, and one of them is a babbling urchin.

"That's my hometown." Qi Yansheng said, "In Wuyu, there is a family that is unparalleled in witchcraft, and all the children of the family are proficient in Yansheng. They are all powerful people. Guess Mr. Lin, then What is the family name?"

It's still guesswork?Naturally the surname is Qi, Lin Rufei thought.

Qi Yansheng didn't wait for Lin Rufei to give an answer, but continued: "But the Qi family has a rule that once you leave Wu Yu, you can't use your real name. For wizards, real name is very important. If outsiders know about it, there will be some trouble."

Lin Rufei already understood what Qi Yansheng meant, he was a wizard from Wu Yu, and he changed his name to Yansheng.

It's just that he is so blatant, the Meng family should know Qi Yansheng's identity even if he wants to come.

Sure enough, Qi Yansheng continued: "Yes, the Meng family knows where I come from. Actually, I was invited by them."

Lin Rufei said, "Please?"

Qi Yansheng said indifferently: "Otherwise, why does Meng Langruo always say that I am a distinguished guest of their family?"

Lin Rufei vaguely guessed something, but the guess was so weird and absurd that one couldn't help wondering if it was her own delusion.

"The Meng family asked for something from me." Qi Yansheng said, "So I stayed here for ten years, lost my real name, and turned into Yansheng." He drank another cup and said with a faint smile, "It's not bad in the Meng family. , they are always interesting people, so they won’t make me too boring.”

Lin Rufei said: "The Meng family begged you, does it have something to do with the young master?"

Qi Yansheng raised his eyes to look at Lin Rufei, and after looking at him for a long time, he said slowly, "Mr. Lin, you must know that there are not many people who can be called friends by Meng Langruo, and you are the only one."

Lin Rufei said coldly: "If I'm not his friend, why should I sit here talking nonsense with you for so long?"

After hearing this, Qi Yansheng felt that there was some truth, and nodded: "That's right." He raised his hand and drank another cup, and continued, "You guessed it right, I came to the Meng Mansion, and I was inseparable from the young master of the Meng Mansion. At that time, he was still a child less than my waist height...but he is as cute as now." He smiled like a kind old grandfather, and Lin Rufei looked weird.

"Are you doting on Meng Lanruo as your son?" Lin Rufei asked.

Qi Yansheng said: "Being a son is not enough, but pampering is definitely necessary, after all, watching him grow up..."

Lin Rufei said: "Then the lantern has something to do with the technique of disgusting victory?"

Qi Yansheng shook his head, saying that it was just an ordinary lantern, and it was used for mourning, other than that, it had no other purpose.

It's really absurd, Meng Lanruo is still alive, but he uses a lantern to express his grief, Lin Rufei's fingers lightly tap the table, and he hasn't spoken for a long time.

Qi Yansheng continued to talk to himself, saying that the Meng Mansion has not had any new guests for a long time, the wife and the master are both cautious people, not all cats and dogs can come in, only a nobleman like Lin Rufei can get close to Meng Langruo .But although there are many princes in the family, there are not many who can close...

Lin Rufei: "Close?"

Qi Yansheng said: "You don't have a trace of sword energy on your body, do you?"

Lin Rufei said, "Yes."

Qi Yansheng said in a deep voice, "That's why you can become Meng Langruo's friend."

Lin Rufei pursed her lips: "Meng Lanruo...he..."

The words came to his lips, but he couldn't speak them out. He gritted his teeth, raised the wine glass in front of him, and drank it in one gulp. The wine was very strong, and a blush appeared on his face. With a hoarse voice, he finally spoke. That sentence: "Meng Langruo, is he dead?"

Qi Yansheng was silent for a long time, then nodded slightly.

Lin Rufei felt a sense of loss. Although Qi Yansheng said it in a tactful manner, based on his words and what happened in the Meng Mansion, Lin Rufei still guessed what he was hiding. Although the facts were extremely absurd, Qi Yansheng was like Without lying, there is only one answer left.

Meng Lanruo died, because of his death, the Meng family went to Wu Yu to find Qi Yansheng, and then invited him into the Meng family.

Lin Rufei had heard many stories of resurrection from the dead, and knew that there must be some methods in the world to retain the dead, but none of these methods required paying a huge price. The young Meng Langruo was already dead. So who is this young master who is spoiled in the Meng Mansion now?

"He is also Meng Lanruo." Qi Yansheng answered Lin Rufei's confusion. "As long as he still has Meng Langruo's three souls and seven souls, no matter what his body becomes, he will be Meng Langruo." It is the young master of the Meng family.

Lin Rufei found it a little difficult to understand.

Qi Yansheng said: "It's not convenient for me to say some things, you can guess it yourself." He shrugged and smiled, "Although it seems better that you don't know about these things, after all, Meng Langruo has taken you for granted. Friends, since they are friends, they should be treated like friends."

While drinking, Lin Rufei reorganized the information given by Qi Yansheng.

More than ten years ago, Meng Langruo in the Meng Mansion suddenly had an accident and died unexpectedly. The Meng family invited Qi Yansheng who was originally in Wuyu, and with the technique of Yansheng, he retained the three souls and seven souls of the young son of the Meng family. Then seal it in another body, so as to maintain Meng Langruo's vitality.

It's just the body... Lin Rufei thought about it, and then asked.

Qi Yansheng smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, don't worry about this. The body is not a human body, but made of grass and trees, and then cast a blinding spell, but the spell is more powerful. Only people who have cultivated above the eighth level can see There are clues." He was a little helpless, "But the body is really easy to damage, and it can only be preserved with Qilin grass, so the entire Meng Mansion...no, the entire Xinzhou City, Qilin grass can be seen everywhere."

Lin Rufei said: "I see."

"But that kid is very skinny, how could he want to stay in Xinzhou City obediently." Qi Yansheng talked about Meng Langruo with some helpless pampering, "I want to run out again and again, it's okay If someone finds out and drags her back, otherwise it will be a big mistake."

Lin Rufei thought of Meng Langruo's dream of holding a sword to the end of the world, and it seemed that it would never be realized.But after knowing that Qi Yansheng did not do anything harmful to Meng Langruo, he was relieved, otherwise he really wanted to pull out Gu Yu and swing his sword at Qi Yansheng.

Some people are born with a pure heart, and their actions and words are very pleasing. Meng Lanruo is such a person.

Although Lin Rufei didn't get along with him very long, she really regarded him as a friend.Otherwise, he could just walk away and worry about what happened in the Meng Mansion.

"What about Xiao Yu? What happened to her?" Lin Rufei thought about this, and continued to ask, "Does Xiao Yu's death have anything to do with you?"

Unexpectedly, when Qi Yansheng heard Xiao Yu's name, he showed a bit of embarrassment, and said, "She... this..."

Lin Rufei said: "What?"

Even the secret that Meng Lan is dead has been exposed, Qi Yansheng became hesitant when talking about Xiao Yu, and couldn't hold back a word for a long time.

Lin Rufei became impatient with the wait, so she guessed for herself: "Did Meng Lanruo take a fancy to Xiao Yu and said that he wanted to take her out of Xinzhou City? Go to the end of the world with a sword?"

Qi Yansheng nodded.

"You killed Xiao Yu because of this?" Lin Rufei frowned, "Not to mention that she was Meng Lanruo's favorite woman, even if she wasn't, it's still a human life. You take someone's life for no reason..."

Qi Yansheng said: "I can't do anything, you don't know that when the young master of the Meng family went to Xiao Yu that day, he had already prepared a package in his hand, and he stole the stealth talisman from somewhere. If it is activated, the person will pass it away immediately, and the location is still undecided, if he is really allowed to do it, no one will be able to save him!"

Lin Rufei wondered, "How could there be such a talisman?"

"Yes." Qi Yansheng said distressedly, "Otherwise I wouldn't have made such a bad move!"

Taking Xiao Yu's life is really a stupid way, Meng Langruo is now distraught, and he doesn't know how to comfort him.But if this stupid method is not used, Meng Lan's three souls and seven souls are probably gone by now, and they will be gone long ago.

"Oh, it's a pity that this girl Xiao Yu is a poor person." Lin Rufei remembered what Meng Langruo said to herself, and thought that Xiao Yu had suffered a lot before coming here. Feeling happy, life should get better, but such an accident happened.

Seeing Lin Rufei's pitiful face, Qi Yansheng hesitated to speak several times.

Lin Rufei only took his expression as shame, and didn't think much about it, she just reminded Qi Yansheng to find a good tomb for Miss Yu and bury her in a dignified manner.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yansheng's expression became more and more embarrassing when he heard the words. Lin Rufei asked, only to find out that this person went too far. After salvaging Miss Yu's bones, he had already set them on fire.

"You're going too far. Although Xiaoyu is a woman from Hualou, she didn't do anything to offend Meng Langruo. You had to take someone's life, and that's all. Why didn't you leave anyone's bones behind?" Lin Rufei frowned, looked at Qi Yansheng, and felt that all the good impressions just now were gone.

Qi Yansheng looked as if he had nothing to say when he was blamed by Lin Rufei, he kept on drinking, and he didn't know if he drank too much, his proud handsome face was flushed.

Seeing Lin Rufei still wanted to blame, Qi Yansheng hurriedly begged for mercy, saying: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, show mercy! I know I was wrong. Didn't I choose a tombstone for her after burning it? Is it a rich burial?"

Lin Rufei frowned and looked at him.

"I did this dishonorably! You just think I'm confused!" Qi Yansheng raised his glass, poured the last drink into his mouth, and said with a wry smile, "People are not sages, so no one can do anything wrong."

Having said this, Lin Rufei couldn't say anything more, but she felt sorry for Xiaoyu who died in a foreign land without relatives and no reason... Lin Rufei who was thinking about this, heard a low laugh from beside her, and turned her head. Look, but saw Gu Xuandu leaning against the edge of the bed, covering his mouth and lowering his head while laughing, trembling all over.

Lin Rufei cast a puzzled look at him.

Gu Xuan laughed and said, "Why did Xiao Jiu suddenly become stupid?"

Lin Rufei: "Huh?"

Gu Xuandu said: "He can create Meng Lanruo, guess if he can create another Huakui girl?"

Lin Rufei: "..."

"It's a pity that this Huakui girl doesn't have three souls and seven souls, and she has to be manipulated by this young master." Gu Xuandu finally couldn't hold back, and laughed loudly, "I really want to see this young master Qi's heroic sword dance. "

Then, Qi Yansheng, who was still drinking, saw Lin Rufei on the opposite side slowly lowering his head, his expression was extremely weird, no matter how you look at it, he seemed to be holding back his laughter...

Qi Yansheng: "..." He knew it.

The author has something to say: Lin Rufei: No wonder Xiao Yu's sword dance is so beautiful...

Gu Xuandu: Looks good?

Lin Rufei: Yes, the most beautiful one I have ever seen.

Gu Xuandu drew his sword expressionlessly.

Lin Rufei: What are you doing?

Gu Xuandu: Hack Xiao Yu to death first, and then dance again for you.

Lin Rufei: ……………
