Chapter 223 Qin Huang Mausoleum
The sky in the east is already glowing with white light, and the full moon is in the sky in the west, almost approaching the horizon.
Luoshui hid in the forest in torn plain clothes, letting her black hair hang down her back. The night wind blew her hair up a bit, like black smoke, and the corners of her clothes, which had been dyed gray by the dust, drifted with the wind. Swaying, she looks like a female ghost.
She hid behind the tree, quietly watching the movement in front of the gate of Chang'an City, but the corner of her eyes was focused on a certain direction behind her - she could feel that someone in that direction was paying attention to her, and this person had followed her. She stayed overnight, and her purpose is still unclear, and she doesn't know whether she is an enemy or a friend.
If it was normal, she would definitely find out this person and torture him.
But not now, she was eager to go to the city to know the news about A Xue, and she didn't want to waste any more time on these people.So she directly ignored the indistinguishable gaze of the person who was secretly paying attention to her, directly activated the illusion of light, concealed her figure, and quickly passed the crowd in front of the gate of Chang'an City, as well as the guards, and flashed directly into a winding alley inside.
To the guards in front of the city gate, there was nothing unusual about just a gust of wind blowing just now.
…………
Luo Shui, who floated into the depths of the alley like a ghost, appeared unbearably. She stood in the depths of the alley, facing a wall, inspecting her own physical condition with some suspicion.
[It's strange, it's only been a while since the illusion of light, and it's hard to keep it from those people? 】
[My strength... seems to have weakened a lot. 】
Realizing that the strength in his body was not what he had at his peak, Luo Shui's eyes sank a lot.
Among the six saintesses in red, except for An Yu, she is the strongest.But now, all the strength she had acquired with great difficulty seemed to have vanished into nothingness.Not to mention An Yu now, even Fufeng might be hard to beat.
Without the familiar power she was proud of, Luo Shui felt a little uneasy in her heart, with a faint panic, but she quickly calmed down again:
She didn't have to fight Fufeng and the others to save Axue, and even with her peak strength, she wasn't sure that she could face an army with as many troops as Fufeng and Spike—it was courting death.
and……
Luo Shui put his hand on his heart and felt:
The Heavenly Absolute Gu is still on her body, regardless of her peak strength, as long as the Heavenly Absolute Gu is still there, a short burst is enough for her to take away Axue.
In the woods outside the city, the man in the uniform of the Tang Sect was hiding in the darkness before the light of dawn, looking for the trace of his sweetheart in the woods.He followed her all night. He was afraid of seeing her indifferent or hostile eyes, so he didn't dare to appear in front of her, but he was also worried about her safety, so he could only follow her.Out of some indistinguishable emotions, he didn't do much to hide, and kept his eyes locked on her.
She was standing behind a tree, looking at Chang'an City in the distance, her torn dress fluttered with the night wind, showing a somewhat sad and strange beauty.The night wind continued to blow, and a few fallen leaves on the ground circled in the air, and then floated back to the ground.A leaf on a branch above her head was swaying with the wind. After shaking a few times, it suddenly detached from the branch and fell gently.
The moment the leaves fell on her hair, she disappeared into the forest as if turned into smoke.
After Tang Wuye searched here for a few times to no avail, he stood behind the tree where Luoshui was standing just now, and looked at Chang'an City like her, his expression didn't change much, but his eyes were dim:
She really didn't want to see him at all.
It was dawn, Shui Jing, Fang Yan and others were about to set off to the Chang'an Underground Palace to join Shuofang's army, but when they were about to set off, they didn't see Ling Xuyang.Shui Jing knocked on Ling Xuyang's door with some doubts, but no one in the room answered her.So she was a little worried about Ling Xuyang's accident and pushed open the door, but Ling Xuyang was not in the room.
Immediately, Shui Jing hurriedly informed everyone, but regarding Ling Xuyang's whereabouts, Lu Hui still had a bright smile on his face:
"Maybe he left first~"
He seemed a little indifferent.
Water mirror: ...
Knowing that Lu Hui was just talking casually and didn't care too much about Ling Shishu's whereabouts, Shui Jing didn't care about what he said, and asked other people instead.
The owner of the house - the scholar surnamed Qiao sat under the eaves, only looking at the unknown book in his hand:
"how could I know?"
Looking for two people in a row, they all looked indifferent, Shui Jing was a little silent:
Uncle Ling has always been kind to others and has a gentle personality. She couldn't figure out why these two people didn't like Uncle Ling so much.
If it's just Lu Hui, she can still understand a little bit - after all, this Mingjiao disciple and Master Ling are rivals in love.But this Mr. Joe's attitude really made her somewhat incomprehensible. However, she thought back to the scene where Joey hardly got along with everyone these days, and she automatically understood it as:
Maybe Mr. Qiao is cold by nature.
…………
"Daoist Ling is gone?"
Fang Yan, who was dressed in a long song costume and showed a bit of Zhilan quality, looked at Shui Jing with some surprise:
"Has anyone else seen him?"
Shui Jing shook his head and said:
"Uncle Master is not in the room, and there is usually no one in the place where he practices sword."
Fang Yan carried the piano on his back, stared at the trees in the small courtyard that had begun to lose their leaves, and thought:
"Then have you asked Senior Sister Zhu? Senior Sister Zhu and Daoist Ling are in love with each other. After this farewell, the Taoist priest should bid farewell to her last night."
Fang Yan was about to talk about other guesses, but suddenly stopped, because he found that Shui Jing's expression seemed to be different, so he asked her:
"But what do you remember?"
Shui Jing stared at him, a light-colored Taoist robe made her look a little cold:
"I didn't see Miss Zhu today."
Now Fang Yan was a little surprised:
"Could it be that the two of them disappeared together?"
Just as they were thinking, Fang Shaohan, dressed in red and carrying two swords, came over with Zhao Shiyu.Fang Shaohan's expression was a bit ugly, and Zhao Shiyu's expression beside him was even more anxious:
"Don't look for it, Taoist Ling is in Miss Zhu's room."
"What did he do?"
Before Zhao Shiyu could say the next thing, Lu Hui dodged and ran towards Qu Lingyin's room.
Zhao Shiyu looked at Lu Hui's rapidly disappearing back, sighed, and said:
"Come on, all of you."
"This... Uncle Ling?!"
As soon as the door opened, Ling Xuyang, who was lying on the bed with unknown life and death, appeared in everyone's eyes.His robe, sword, and Taoist crown were all on the ground, and that robe, including the ground there, was stained dark red by blood.
Seeing such a scene, the blood on Shui Jing's face faded a lot.She couldn't understand why Ling Xuyang became like this in just one night.If it was an enemy attack, why didn't any of them discover it?
Fang Yan stepped forward to check Ling Xuyang's injury, and after the check, he let out a sigh of relief:
"The wound is a little outside the heart. Fortunately, it didn't hurt the heart, and the wound has begun to heal. There shouldn't be any major problems after a period of recuperation."
"What did he do last night? He was beaten like this."
Lu Hui, who was still worried about what Ling Xuyang did to Qu Lingyin, now smiled again, and started to run on people with interest.
"But where did Ah Yin go?"
Shui Jing didn't pay attention to his words, she took out a thin white porcelain bottle from the kit bag at her waist, poured out a pill, and fed it to Ling Xuyang.This elixir was originally given to her by Ling Xuyang who was worried about her junior yesterday, but today he didn't expect that before she used it, he used it himself.
Fang Shaohan silently picked up the sword on the ground, put the blood-stained sword into the scabbard and put it on the table.
Qu Lingyin, who was supposed to be in the room, disappeared, while Ling Xuyang was stabbed by his own sword, and there was no movement of fighting in the room, last night was very peaceful.Almost everyone seemed a little silent, because they probably already guessed the truth:
Ling Xuyang was stabbed by Qu Lingyin.
…………
"Cough cough..."
After a slight cough, the person lying on the bed opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Shui Jing with an angry and biting expression:
"Uncle, you're awake."
Ling Xuyang nodded, then tried to prop up his body and sat up:
"I'm fine, don't worry too much."
"Uncle, why did she want to kill you?"
Compared with other people's behavior of not wanting to ask more questions because of Ling Xuyang's mood, Shui Jing is much more straightforward.
"She doesn't want to kill me."
Ling Xuyang straightened the somewhat messy neckline, covered his mouth and coughed a few times, his usual mild eyebrows and eyes looked much calmer now.
"As long as the wound is a little deeper, you will die, uncle."
Shui Jing tightly squeezed the thin white porcelain bottle in her hand, until the knuckles of her fingers turned white.
"She really wanted to kill me. I couldn't survive last night."
Ling Xuyang raised his eyes and scanned the different expressions of the people in the room, pursed his lips, and then expressed his guess:
"Ayin, she...was controlled by someone."
The author has something to say:
Luoshui doesn't know how to sing long songs, and her strength is higher than that of Qu Ling. In this memory, she is one of the six saintesses in red, and she is the strongest under An Yu. (That's why I have this self-confidence and rebellion)
