[Seven Five] Sword Que Merry

Mount Wutai, within Foguang Temple.

The seven-day water and land meeting has ended, and the temple has returned to its former tranquility. The solemn bells echoed all over the mountain, and the winding paths lead to secluded places, and everything is completely silent.

In the meditation room, the sunlight falling through the flowers and trees is faintly visible.

The little monk walked cautiously outside the door with his fast food in his hand, raised his hand and knocked lightly.

"Master, it's time to eat. Should I put it outside for you?"

The old monk sat on the futon with his head tilted, neither knocking on the wooden fish nor chanting scriptures, and there was no response for a long time.

"Master?"

The little monk put the rice on the table, feeling vaguely strange, he frowned and walked softly behind the old monk.

"Master, it's time to eat..."

Just as he raised his hand to press his shoulder, the old monk crooked and fell straight to the ground.

The little monk trembled all over, and suddenly saw a pool of bright red and coagulated blood on the futon with his lowered eyes. His legs and feet were weak, and he ran out of the meditation room rolling and crawling.

"Master... Master Xuan, Master Xuan Hui passed away!"

Outside Taiyuan City, in a post station.

The waiter put the hot food and wine on the table, Shi Yin only tapped the edge of the bowl with his chopsticks.

"So, he didn't tell you who framed the Gu family?"

"No." Nianyi lowered his head to eat, "He only said that the Shen family didn't do it."

"You believe what he says?" Shi Yin raised his hand to poke her on the forehead bitterly, "Why don't you ask more questions? What if he lied to you on purpose!?"

"He doesn't seem to be lying." Being poked uncomfortable by him, Nian frowned and avoided, "Besides, he is also at this age, what's the benefit of lying to me?"

"Hmph, he's just afraid of death." Shiyin pierced the rice in the bowl with chopsticks a few times, his eyes darkened, and he said gloomyly, "If I were you, I'd find a place where no one is around, burn with a whip and iron, beat Until he says it."

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "What I missed was right, he shouldn't have lied."

Shi Yin's hands pinching the chopsticks tightened even more, and he gritted his teeth and looked at him, "Really? How can you tell?"

"He had one last sentence." Zhan Zhao recalled with a frown, "...to persuade us not to investigate further, I always feel that there is something in this sentence, it's not as simple as being framed."

"I can't say for sure, what if the people who stabbed the knife in the back are their Shen family." Shi Yin disagreed, "This is just to confuse the public, so you don't suspect him."

"Shi Yin..." Nian Yi put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Whether the words are true or not, I don't want to see him again, let's stop here for the matter of Mount Wutai."

He didn't know her past with this person, seeing that she had already said so, Shi Yin was unwilling to force it.

"Okay, okay, don't check if you don't check."

But in this way, this thread is broken.If what Shen Siyi said is true, then there must be someone else who framed the Gu family back then.

Nian Yi lowered his eyes and pondered: "Who else can I go to right now..."

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Shi Yin leaned back on the wooden chair and lazily stretched his body, "Think about it, it's been more than 50 years, and only your servant and this surnamed Shen You are young and live a long time. If it is the mastermind who framed your father, he should be in his 50s or [-]s. How can he survive [-] years? He must have died long ago."

"so what should I do now……"

"If you want to investigate...you don't have to just search for someone." Zhan Zhao pondered for a moment, "This kind of big case, usually there will be files left in Dali Temple. It was the Kaifeng Mansion that investigated your father back then, and the Kaifeng Mansion must have a copy file."

"Dali Temple..." Shi Yin stroked his chin, "But there is a prison god there, so it might be a bit troublesome to steal the files."

"Brother Zhan just said that." The Prison God has always hated ghosts. Although he is a thousand-year-old ghost, he can't confront the god head-on. Nian quickly changed the subject, "Let's put the dossier matter aside for now."

She suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I got news from other ghosts a few days ago that one of the guards who escorted me to the border seemed to be married to a Xixia man on the Qilian Mountain grassland. I Why don't you try your luck on the prairie?"

Just after saying this, Zhan Zhao and Shi Yin said at the same time:

"no!"

Nian Yi was slightly taken aback, looked around the two of them, wondering: "Why not? Anyway, there are no other clues right now, let's go and relax. I heard that the scenery on the grassland is very beautiful."

Shi Yin turned his head and said haha: "Don't go, I just suddenly remembered that there seems to be a colleague of your father's back in the south who is still alive, maybe he has any clues."

Zhan Zhao immediately echoed: "The Qilian Mountains are all Xixia people, even if they go there, they can't find a place to stay. What's more, there is a drought this year, and the scenery is not much to see."

"That said, there's nothing to see..."

After reading for a long while, he didn't speak, only frowned and glanced at them, "You two... have something to hide from me?"

Shiyin hurriedly laughed and said, "I, what can I hide from you."

Zhan Zhao nodded in shame.

"Really?" Nian Yi leaned forward and stared suspiciously at Zhan Zhao, who looked away unnaturally and lowered his head to drink the soup.

"Since there's nothing else to do, let's go to the prairie." She picked up the bowl and picked up some vegetables for dinner. "I've never been to the west, so it's good to see it."

Hearing this, Shi Yin and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, then looked away with a headache, and sighed secretly.

After noon, after paying for the meal, the three of them went to the farmhouse where they were boarding to pick up the carriage. On the way, Shi Yin seemed to see someone and left in a hurry.

Nian Yi inadvertently caught a glimpse, and saw that the thing behind the tree was so gloomy, it must not be a person.

Not long after, Shi Yin came out from a distance, and stretched out his hand to take out the taels of silver in his pocket.

"what happened?"

"I have something urgent, so I can't go with you to Qilian Mountains." He stuffed the purse into her hand, "There are bank notes and some loose coins in it, and the two little devils are staying with you. You can use whatever you want Don't worry, you know?"

Nian put away the purse, "Leaving so soon?" At first, he really thought he was idle.

"It's very important." Shi Yin smiled shyly, raised her hand to rub her hair bun, and saw Zhan Zhao in her eyes, "Besides, I can rest assured that he is with you."

She asked in a deep voice, "Is it something about the ghost world?"

"Well...it has nothing to do with you, don't think about it." Shi Yin withdrew his hand, "I will continue to inquire about your father's affairs for you. If you encounter any trouble, remember to use the jade pendant to call me."

"Okay, then be careful."

"By the way, there is one thing I have to remind you."

"Huh?" Nian nodded and looked at him, "What's the matter?"

"It's still a month away." Shi Yin laughed helplessly, and flicked her on the forehead lightly, "You really don't remember? It's the anniversary of my death. Don't forget to go back to Huangquan when the time comes."

Nianyi touched his forehead, and it took him a while to react.

"Remember, I will definitely go back."

"I hope you really remember." He sighed and didn't say goodbye to Zhan Zhao, but the moment he turned around, he gradually disappeared.

Nian Yi walked up to Zhan Zhao thoughtfully, holding the heavy purse.

"he's gone?"

"Ah."

After thinking about it, she still gave him the purse, "You can keep it for me."

Zhan Zhao didn't take it, "This is your money, keep it for yourself."

"But I used your money all the way." Nian took out a few bank notes and put them into his waist pocket, "If this goes on, I will be eating and drinking for nothing."

Hearing what she said, Zhan Zhao had no choice but to accept it.

"Let's go, the carriage is ahead."

At the same time, under ten thousand feet, exile in the abyss.

In the most desolate place in the ghost world, there are bones everywhere, and resentment emerges from every crack, which is eerie and terrifying.

Stepping on the broken bones under his feet, Shi Yin walked slowly to the exile mirror. There was a female ghost standing among the skeletons, with long hair like waterfalls and red clothes like blood. Seeing that he really came, she kept shaking her head.

"Why bother, take this risk, at least it's a thousand years of cultivation, instead of wasting hundreds of years, it's better to give it to me."

"It's said that it's a thousand years of cultivation, and it doesn't hurt or itch if you let go of a few hundred years." He shrugged.

"I really don't understand, what's so good about being a human?" The female ghost went to the mirror, leaned over and picked up a piece of animal bone, "We have such a good time being ghosts... That yellow-haired girl is worth it?"

"Since when did your nonsense become so much?" Shiyin said impatiently, "Open the door, open the door."

"What a bad temper." The female ghost clicked her tongue twice, and inserted the animal bone into the concave and convex part of the mirror with great reluctance, the dazzling white light suddenly lit up, and for a moment, it was like daytime.

On the official road heading northwest, an inconspicuous carriage was driving forward without any haste, the horseshoes could be heard beside the ear, and the wheels creaked and rolled.Nian Yi took a nap in the car for a while, and opened the casement in a daze, the sky outside had turned dark yellow, the crowds of red clouds were crowded and crowded, it was really lovely.

They have traveled for ten days, and they will arrive at Jian'an in a short time. By then, they will be able to go to Xixia by taking the road in Qingzhou.

Thinking that Zhan Zhao was driving all this way, Nian Yi felt sorry, put the two sleeping little ghosts aside, took out the water bag from the bag, opened the curtain, and walked out of the car carefully.

Seeing her coming out, Zhan Zhao hurriedly reached out to hold her arm.

"Watch out."

Zhan Zhao held the reins in one hand to watch the road, and held Nian Yi in the other. Seeing her sitting down against the car door, he said, "What are you doing here?"

"It's nothing, I'm just afraid you'll be bored." She handed him the water bag in her hand, "Drink some water."

Even though it was inconvenient, he let go of the rein, quickly took a sip, and asked with a smile:

"Are you bored?"

"...I'm fine too." Nian stuffed the water bag tightly, "I'm just afraid that if you stay with me, you will feel bored."

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why do you say that?"

"Shiyin said it before." She smiled shyly, "He always thinks I'm not talkative, like a boring gourd."

"Yeah, I think it's pretty good." He replied casually, "at least better than me."

Hearing what he said, Nian Yi couldn't help turning his head, "Why? Some people think you're bored?"

Zhan Zhao lightly smiled and said, "Yes, Bai Yutang dislikes it."

He was a restless person, no wonder he felt that way.Nianyi looked down at the water bag and couldn't help laughing.

Glancing at her from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing... Actually, I talked a lot when I was alive." She stroked the water bag with her index finger, "I don't know why, but once I died, I don't really want to talk."

Zhan Zhao glanced sideways at her, and continued to drive: "You have a knot in your heart, you need to heal it slowly."

"Maybe...are you tired?"

"It's okay, what's the matter?"

Nian Yi lowered his eyes to the reins in his hand, and suddenly became interested, "How about I drive the car and you take a rest?"

Zhan Zhao looked at her suspiciously: "Can you... know how to drive?"

"No." She was honest and unambiguous, "But you can learn it, just because you are bored, aren't you?"

Are you the one who is bored?

Zhan Zhao smiled helplessly, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was a way to pass the time, so he stretched out his hand and pulled her to his side, "Come on, it's actually not difficult, just hold on to the rope firmly and keep your body straight, just like riding a horse. "

"Yeah." Nian Yi held the rein, and then added, "I don't know how to ride a horse either."

Zhan Zhao: "...then hurry up."

Fortunately, Nian Yi learned fairly quickly, and with him protecting him, even though the horse was going zigzagging, it was barely able to get on the road.

The mountain road here is rugged, and the car is slightly bumpy.

In order to prevent Nian Yi from falling, Zhan Zhao supported her right hand behind him, almost wrapping her in his arms, the fine strands of hair could not stop lingering on his chin, itching, and there was a faint fragrance meaning.

This feeling was very strange, he paused for a while, lost in thought for no reason, and didn't pay attention to the road at the moment, the wheels rolled over a hard rock impartially, and the violent vibration made Nian Yi fall from the car.

Zhan Zhaocai came back to his senses suddenly, and hurriedly grabbed her arm, and the two of them rubbed against the side of the car and fell to the ground.Seeing that she was under him, Zhan Zhao hurriedly wrapped his hands around her head, and the stone hit the back of his hand, causing unbearable pain.

The horse seemed to be frightened, and the car sprinted past them, the ground was full of smoke and dust.

"Are you all right, how is your hand?"

He clearly felt that the back of his head was being bumped hard, Nian Yi struggled to get up, and when he raised his eyes, he found that Zhan Zhao's face was only half an inch away from him, his handsome eyebrows were close at hand, and his warm breath fell on the tip of his nose little by little.

With a drooping eye, the four eyes met.
