Shen Qingqing wiped off the water droplets from the ends of her hair with a dry cloth, washed her face, and drank a few cups of hot tea. After she had finished cleaning up, she remembered that there was someone waiting outside.
So Hanyan was called in.
"Do you know the reason why I called you here?"
Shen Qingqing was sitting in front of the window, with a bright oil lamp in front of her and a drizzle of rain behind her.
The light in the slightly narrowed eyes is sharp, like a sharp blade that can cut through a person's thin skin and reveal the soul inside.
Hanyan felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, a sense of oppression that Qi Sheng, who was in a rage, did not feel.
"Does the girl suspect that the cases in the past two days are related to me?"
Shen Qingqing was too lazy to beat around the bush with her and made her purpose clear in one sentence: "Where is Chen Bitian?"
Hanyan's pupils tightened, and he looked at her with wide eyes, puzzled and shocked, "Who are you?"
Seeing that she refused to answer the question properly, Shen Qingqing changed the topic, "Smoking girl, do you like Ning Youan?"
Han Yan's eyes darkened again, his face became increasingly ugly, and the knuckles of his hands hanging by his sides turned white.
As soon as Shen Qingqing saw this situation, she knew that she had made the right bet, and then asked: "Do you want to be with him?"
Hanyan took out a breath with difficulty, and after a while, he pursed his lips and said, "Who are you?"
"I am his friend."
Shen Qingqing flicked the wick and said lazily, "According to common sense, it is impossible for you to be with him because of your status. But this life is only a few decades. As long as you can live happily and comfortably
, it doesn’t matter whether you are with people or ghosts.”
"Especially for a romantic and uninhibited person like Ning Youan."
"But..." She paused, and suddenly there was a stern look in her eyes, "If you help Qi Sheng and Chen Bitian to murder people again and commit murder repeatedly, I will accept you first for God!"
The color on Han Yan's face faded instantly, and he knelt down hastily, shaking his legs, "Girl, I..."
"Get up!" Shen Qingqing's voice was cold, "I'm not like Qi Sheng, I don't need others to kneel down and talk."
Hanyan hurriedly stood up again, biting her lip and crying: "I don't want to harm anyone, but if I don't help Chen Bitian, I will lose the chance to be a human being, and I won't even be able to be a ghost... I don't want this."
She wants to live, she wants to be with Ning Youan.
Even if the time together is only one or two years, we are still willing to do so.
"A very valid reason." Shen Qingqing smiled sarcastically, "Then have you ever thought that if Ning Youan knew that there was a female ghost who killed several people in succession just to be with him, you think he would be happy.
, or are you afraid?”
Smokey's eyelashes trembled, tears fell, and he replied in a low mood: "I will be scared and angry."
On the surface, her Ninglang looks carefree and doesn't care about anything, but he is actually very kind-hearted. He would buy a fish and feed it to a little wild cat when he met him on the way. How could he be indifferent to innocent people?
"So it's time to go back." Shen Qingqing looked at her with stern eyes and said in a low voice, "Tell me all the news you know. Except for Chen Bitian, you will be free. Then you can be a man or a ghost as you please."
Hanyan looked into her eyes silently, hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Chen Bitian is staying in Fanyue Mountain now. There is a team of people with him, about three to four hundred people. Like me, they all wear clothes
A ghost in human skin.”
"During the day, I went to Fan Yue Mountain and overheard Chen Bitian discussing with them the arrangement of the altar. I guess he might have disliked the ruined temple because it was too small and wanted to find another place to achieve his goal."
Shen Qingqing's face gradually solidified, "How far has things progressed?"
Han Yan shook his head, "I don't know, maybe he didn't come to me anymore because he had other people available. But Chen Bitian is impatient and should take action soon. If you want to deal with him, you'd better do it as soon as possible."
Shen Qingqing leaned back in her chair and didn't speak for a long time. The matter was difficult to handle. There were hundreds of people on the other side, and she was alone... It would be great if she could get rid of those little minions first.
She raised her eyes and looked at Hanyan again, "Do you know the weakness of the puppet, or the way to extract the soul from the human skin?"
"There is a method. I saw Chen Bitian use it with my own eyes, but I don't know anything about Taoism..." Hanyan sighed regretfully and said softly: "I'm sorry."
"Forget it, I'll think of another way." Shen Qingqing rubbed her temples tiredly, "Go back. If Chen Bitian comes to find you again, think of a way to remind me."
He smoked and nodded, but did not leave. He stroked the texture of the clothes and asked her anxiously: "Ning Lang, does he know my identity?"
"I know one, but I don't know the other." Shen Qingqing answered simply.
"I understand." Hanyan blessed her, said "thank you" and turned to leave.
As soon as Han Yan left, Gu Jiali from the next room came immediately.
Shen Qingqing exhaled and smiled bitterly, "Have you heard our conversation? What do you think?"
"Get help and go up the mountain."
Five simple words, very powerful.
Shen Qingqing smiled even harder, "Maybe I forgot to tell you, those puppets wearing human skin will not die."
Gu Jiali hesitated and showed a troubled expression for the first time.
"Either trapped or seduced, these are the only two options."
Gu Jiali fell silent, and finally said dejectedly: "Try it, you can't just sit idly by and watch him harm the people."
"I have the same idea." Shen Qingqing sat up holding the back of the chair, "Now the question is, where can we ask for help?"
Meng Yuan is gone, Zhao Ying is gone, and only a weak scholar is left to be sent to the mountain as cannon fodder?
"There are helpers left for me by the emperor outside the city. There are about a hundred or so people. They can be transferred directly." Gu Jiali said in a calm tone, "I will go to Qi Sheng to order some people. The incident happened in Xiangcheng. He can't stand to sit back and watch. Think about other things.
Let's inform Zhao Ying and see if he can let a team of people come back."
As he spoke, he strode to the table and laid out paper to write a letter.
Shen Qingqing took out another pen and sketched the internal layout of Fan Yue Mountain.
After all the work was done, the sky was already turning white.
Gu Jiali ordered someone to send the letter away, but he didn't even bother to drink tea and ran outside Qi Sheng's bedroom and kicked in the door.
Shen Qingqing originally planned to take a nap, but there were too many things weighing heavily on her mind, making her unable to sleep.
She took out the copper coins again and began to calculate the fortune.
Very bad hexagrams, fighting, bloodshed, imprisonment, drowning... several major disasters are almost finished.
But there is still a glimmer of hope in the predicament. As long as we can grasp it, it will be like "a village with a bright future".
Shen Qingqing felt a little more relaxed. As long as the person is still alive, other problems are not a problem.
Thinking of this, she gathered the coins and climbed into bed again and fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already bright, the rain outside had stopped, and Gu Jiali's voice blaming Zhiyi could be heard faintly from next door.
Shen Qingqing smiled and shook her head, got dressed and got out of bed. After washing, she went to the kitchen to get a double breakfast. This chapter has been completed!
