No more killing Su Meng, burning the midnight oil is not yet young.
Tiandao Temple is located on a high mountain to the west of Lecheng. Even at night, the top of the mountain is still red.
But it was not moonlight, nor light, but the colors gathered by the fires of hundreds of alchemy furnaces.
If you want to go up the mountain, you have to go through a rugged and winding mountain road. Although the road is difficult to walk, the people in Lecheng say that it is a test of the pilgrims' piety.
…
"Da da da……"
In the quiet night, the sound of horse hooves is particularly clear.
A white horse covered in moonlight broke the silence of the deep forest.
There are two people on horseback.
The voice is faint and delicate, and I feel pity for Liu Qinghua.
In Yingxue Pavilion, Mei Xiaoli is Liu Qinghua's personal maid, and now they are treated as sisters.
"Sister, can you make it in time?"
Mei Xiaoli, who frowned slightly, put his face on Liu Qinghua's back, wrapped his hands around both sides, and hugged Liu Qinghua's waist tightly.
Liu Qinghua, who was holding the reins, said softly: "Don't worry, sister, judging from the man's demeanor and behavior during the day, he has no idea what the note left by my mother-in-law means."
Mei Xiaoli: "But..."
Liu Qinghua freed up a hand and pinched the catkins placed on her lower abdomen, "We are sisters, I know what you are worried about."
"The barrier left by Fengtiansi is obviously to protect us, but it deliberately does not restrict our access. The reason is to know who we will go to if we leave Yingxue Xiaoge."
"But it doesn't matter anymore. It doesn't matter even if his identity is exposed. Besides, Li Changfeng has already left Lecheng. If he wants to inform Taoist Qingxuanzi, tonight is the best opportunity."
"When this matter is over..."
Liu Qinghua's eyes drooped slightly, as if she was comforting Mei Xiaoli, and also seemed to be talking to herself.
"When this matter is over, we will leave Lecheng, find a remote place, and live an ordinary life..."
"I will never be entangled with these worldly things again."
"Yes." Mei Xiaoli agreed softly, rubbing her face against Liu Qinghua's hollow white back, the intimacy was a bit too much.
And at this moment, a black shadow suddenly passed by!
The white horse under the two men made a harsh neigh, and the horse's hooves broke in response!
"Bang! Bang!"
The white horse with its hoofs cut off was thrown heavily for more than ten meters. Mei Xiaoli, who jumped off the horse in advance, hugged Liu Qinghua and landed firmly on the ground.
"who?!"
The two women moved forward and backward, constantly scanning their surroundings. However, before they could get a response, the low bells rang one after another.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"no, do not want!"
"Ah! Sister, I hurt! Sister!"
The two women covered their ears and let out heart-piercing screams under the impact of the bell.
In the deep forest, a figure slowly walked out, and Jiang Wuji, who had been waiting for a long time, finally appeared.
"Yes, it's you..."
Liu Qinghua wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and stared at Jiang Wuji with red eyes.
"Miss Qinghua, tell me."
Jiang Wuji shook off the horse's blood on his copper coin sword with an expressionless face, and held the Vaishvah Bell the size of his head in his other hand.
"Hehe, hahaha..."
Liu Qinghua stood up slowly, her smile trembling: "It turns out that Young Master deliberately tested me during the day. Young Master, your scheming is really creepy..."
Liu Qinghua was right. Jiang Wuji sent the box to Yingxue Pavilion during the day just to test her.
As for why he was waiting for her on the way to Tiandao Temple, the reason was very simple.
If she was really a county guard, she would choose to stay put tonight.
Because Qiu Weiliang died in Yingxue Xiaoge, no matter how she contacted the county governor at this point in time, Fengtian Division could make a fuss about it.
With Murong Yue's cunningness, he would definitely cut off all contact with her during this period.
Since the county guard's road is impassable, if she leaves Yingxue Xiaoge tonight, besides leaving the city, this is the only way she can go.
There is Zhu Yao watching over the city gate, so you can rest assured.
Of course, Jiang Wuji can't account for everything, so tonight's action still has a lot of risks, but compared to chasing the truth... this risk is worth taking!
As for why she wanted to lead the plague to Tiandao Temple, this is not something that needs to be considered now.
But now even if Liu Qinghua doesn't say anything, Jiang Wuji has already obtained useful information.
Liu Qinghua is from Tiandao Temple, and the content on that note is also related to Tiandao Temple!
So whether Liu Qinghua says it or not, it doesn't matter anymore. It's just a matter of trying to get something out of it.
"Should you tell me?" Jiang Wuji asked again.
Liu Qinghua slowly pulled down her clothes with a smile and said in a waxy voice: "Yingxue has told the young master that the source of the plague is in Tiandao Temple. What else do you want to know?"
Jiang Wuji: "Last chance, say it, or don't say it."
"Haha, little lady, I have nothing to say!"
"Stubborn."
Jiang Wuji didn't say any more nonsense, but rang the Vaishvah Bell again.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The low and long bells sounded continuously, and Liu Qinghua and Mei Xiaoli, who had just taken a breath, started shouting hysterically again.
"Sister! I hurt, I hurt!" Mei Xiaoli's ears began to bleed, and blood even overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
Liu Qinghua hugged her sister, gritted her silver teeth and shouted: "Me! If I die! You...you! You will never know the secret of that note!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Jiang Wuji had no intention of stopping at all, and this threat had no effect on him at all.
Although he really wanted to know what "no time has come, no taboos" meant, he didn't think Liu Qinghua would explain it so easily.
The most important thing is that he simply intends to stay alive!
"Stop! Stop!"
"I say, I say! Master, I say!"
Liu Qinghua never expected that even so, she would not be able to make Jiang Wuji stop what he was doing.
At this moment, she finally understood that Jiang Wuji had no intention of letting them go. For Jiang Wuji, her appearance on this road tonight was enough!
What a ruthless person!!!
Seeing that there was no room for recovery, Liu Qinghua pulled out a dagger and stabbed Mei Xiaoli in the chest without hesitation!
"Uh! Sister, sister..." Mei Xiaoli looked at Liu Qinghua in disbelief, her wide eyes gradually losing color.
"I'm sorry, sister, he forced me... he forced me!"
Liu Qinghua gently stroked Mei Xiaoli's cheek with her trembling hands, then stretched her neck and sang a strange tune.
"Hey~ the sun sets and the sky turns dark~"
This libretto is... please God?!
Hearing these somewhat familiar lyrics, Jiang Wuji immediately reacted! He put a lot of force on his feet, the sea of Qi shook, he raised his copper coin sword and killed Liu Qinghua!
A ferocious smile appeared on Liu Qinghua's delicate face. Facing Jiang Wuji's offensive, she actually threw Mei Xiaoli's body out!
"laugh!"
When Jiang Wuji cut off the flying corpse in half, Liu Qinghua had already opened some distance and continued singing!
"Every house has its door bolted, and gentlemen on the road run to the inn. Birds run to the forest, and tigers return to the mountains. Birds run to the mountains and forests to make themselves at home, and tigers return to the mountains to be safe!"
"The seven-star glazed tiles are on the head, the eight-sided purple gold bricks are on the feet, the feet are on the ground, the head is on the sky, and we take big steps to walk in a circle!"
"Boom!" Looking at Liu Qinghua who had already hid in the distance, Jiang Wuji rang the Vaishvah Bell again, hoping to interrupt her singing.
However, Liu Qinghua seemed to be immune to the power of the bell at this time. She got two handfuls of lighted incense from nowhere and used her eyes as an incense burner without hesitation!
"Stand firm with both feet and lean on the camp board, place the incense table and invite the gods to sing ~!"
"Tsk!" Jiang Wuji successfully sent the copper coin sword into Liu Qinghua's chest.
However, Liu Qinghua clutched the copper coin sword on her chest and said while vomiting blood.
"Young Master... Yingxue has already finished singing..."
