moonlit night

Chapter 243 False Mercy

"Palace Master Jing has been in for a while, why hasn't he come out?! Oh, I'm so anxious!"

Several heads were anxiously pacing back and forth outside the courtyard where the Baiyu Tomb was located, one of them was really impatient to wait,

Asked so loudly, but no one dared to answer.Qu Liulan glanced at the other party angrily, obviously disdainful of such rude words.He turned his head, looked worriedly at the downcast woman in purple, his eyes softened, and asked softly: "Madam Jing,

Don't worry, can you hold on?If you are really uncomfortable, it is better to move back to the room to rest.We are watching over here, we will never let something happen to Palace Master Jing. "

Luo Mingjia didn't say a word. Hearing the words, he raised his eyes and looked at Qu Liulan, but then shook his head, still standing on the spot with the support of the two maids, his body trembling unconsciously.

In the eyes of others, this is the performance of excessive fright.

Qu Liulan sighed, knowing that what she did in front of the Lihun stage was too much, and now she wants to ask for forgiveness, I'm afraid it will not be easy, so she no longer forced Luo Mingjia to talk to her,

He only tilted his head and gestured to his sister with his eyes, asking her to appease Mrs. Jing, so that the relationship between the two families would not become too tense.

Qu Lanshan obediently moved over, but before she got close, the two maids beside Luo Mingjia stopped her with unkind faces,

One of them said coldly: "Didn't your elder brother keep saying that he would burn my wife to death and give an explanation to the world. Now the truth is finally revealed, my wife is innocent, there is no need for you to cry like a mouse here, fake mercy !"

Qu Lanshan knew that what the other party said was the truth, and she was indeed irrefutable, and she couldn't have an eloquent mouth, so she only opened her mouth, but couldn't speak, her face was flushed red.

Seeing that Qu Lanshan had nothing to say, the maid felt complacent, and was about to open her mouth to taunt again, but Luo Mingjia suddenly clenched her hands tightly.She was startled secretly, and then remembered that Madam doesn't like maidservants making too much publicity, so she swallowed the words that came to her lips, ignored Qu Lanshan, and said courteously to Luo Mingjia: "Madam, do you want to go back to your room to rest?" Or, would you like to use some freshly stewed bird's nest soup with rock sugar, and my servant will bring it to you."

"Stop talking!" Another maid immediately scolded: "The Palace Master and Miss Qingluan are still inside, how can Madam have the heart to use the soup?"

Qu Lanshan grew up in a pure and clean environment, her elder brother doted on her wherever she went, and she was as close to her maid as sisters, she rarely saw open and secret fights in the world, facing this kind of scene at this moment, she naturally felt more cramped, with her hands I don't even know where to put it.However, Luo Mingjia didn't seem to have heard the conversation, his eyes were fixed on the seemingly peaceful white jade tomb in the banyan forest, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Qu Lanshan stared blankly at the woman's dark pupils, which were full of incomprehensible things. She suddenly felt that if she continued to look at it, she would be swallowed up in it.

Qu Lanshan used to think that although Mrs. Jing and Mr. Hengwu were brothers and sisters, she was not as similar to Mr. Hengwu as Qingluan.If she looks more like Mr. Hengwu, she will definitely be ranked among the top three beauties in Kyushu.But looking at it now, it was my poor eyesight before. Although the lady in front of me is not a top-notch beauty, she must have intelligence and tolerance that ordinary people can't match, so...

Qu Lanshan was still waiting to take a closer look, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a little red light from those pupils, she didn't realize what it was, but suddenly an earth-shattering explosion sounded in her ears.Billowing thick smoke and flames roared out from the tomb in the courtyard, turning the eyes of the people around who were attracted by this earth-shattering change red.

"Qingluan!" Qu Lanshan screamed, and immediately wanted to run over there.Ever since she learned that Luo Qingluan was hijacked into that tomb by the fake Palace Master Ningbi, Qu Lanshan was already very anxious, but she knew that she was unable to go deep into the tiger's den to rescue Luo Qingluan, and she didn't want to cause trouble for her brother at this time , so I could only suppress my heart palpitations, and instead of going forward, I stayed with everyone outside the courtyard and waited for the news.

But right now there were explosions, and the entire building inside collapsed. It was obvious that something serious had happened. Qu Lanshan couldn't hold back, so she immediately followed the flow of people and ran there, but she didn't run a few steps, but was suddenly pulled back from behind hand.

Qu Lanshan turned around in confusion, apparently unable to think of who it would be at this time, but after seeing clearly, she froze in place, looking at the person holding her in disbelief.

"Xiao... Brother Xiao..."

Before he finished speaking, he was pulled into a warm and thick embrace.Xiao Ziyuan bent down and hugged his petite girl tightly, hugging Qu Lanshan almost out of breath, as if to make up for all the lack of these ten thousand years.Several times, Qu Lanshan felt that he was about to bow her head and kiss him, her face flushed with shame, and she stretched out her hand to push him.Although this push didn't use much force, it was enough to make Xiao Ziyuan feel her resistance.

Sure enough, Xiao Ziyuan didn't make any further moves. He let go of his hand and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to call her name, but he didn't say a word after all.

Should I call you Lanshan, or... Fangzhou?

Qu Lanshan raised her head, and was surprised to find that the other party was already in tears.

"Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you?" Qu Lanshan panicked, and hurriedly stood on tiptoe to wipe his tears.But the tears flowed more and more, and she couldn't wipe them away, so she shed tears too, and she stopped wiping away, raised her hand and pointed at the crowd gathering over there, and said sadly: "Qingluan, Qingluan is still there inside."

"Qingluan?" Xiao Ziyuan raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears, then wiped Qu Lanshan's as well, forced a smile, and comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry, that girl Luo Qingluan is very spirited. She has nothing else, As long as you have a lot of thought, you will turn danger into good luck the most, and you will be fine. Fang... Lanshan, you just stay here and don't move around, I'll go over and have a look. Don't worry."

Hearing what he said, although nothing has changed, Qingluan's life and death are still uncertain, Qu Lanshan really felt at ease.She turned her head to look over there, only to find that the aftermath of the shock did not spread as expected, but was confined within a three-foot range of the white jade tomb by an invisible force, and never spread to the outside world.

After the thick smoke dissipated, she gradually saw the innermost scene clearly.A man with a green bead on his forehead was standing closest to the explosion area, his back was facing the rushing crowd, his hair was raised high in the impact of the air current, and the seals on his hands were constantly changing, obviously doing it all by himself. Against all the impact of the airflow.As the rest of the sect masters joined in one after another, the pressure on the man's shoulders was obviously relieved. He quickly withdrew his palm, then drew out the sword at his waist, and stabbed a dozen times in a row in the air, moving it round and round in the air. The ripples of spiritual power in the circle immediately pushed forward violently, trying to erode and dissolve the destructive power brought by the airflow and raging fire through hedging.

That should be the real Palace Master Jing, Qu Lanshan thought to herself, but for some reason, she always felt that he was not like a living person, but more like a lost soul walking dead, he did these things not because he wanted to kill the people trapped inside. Saved, but just doing what I should do.

"Just now I seem to have heard that there is rock sugar bird's nest," Xiao Ziyuan's voice rang in his ears again, Qu Lanshan came back to his senses in shock, only then did he realize that the other party was not talking to him, but politely said to the maid beside Luo Mingjia: "Can I trouble Auntie to bring it over? If possible, please make more. Everyone is tired after a busy night. Let's have some soup together later, and it will make you feel better."

He said this politely, but his tone was unquestionable, as if he already had the demeanor of a superior.Qu Lanshan watched from the side, feeling very surprised, she and Xiao Ziyuan had only been separated for a few days, how could the other party have such a big change?

Could it be that brother Xiao has recovered his previous life, so his speech and behavior are also affected by his previous life?

Then what kind of person would he be in his previous life?What role did I play in his previous life?

Qu Lanshan was still at a loss, but Xiao Ziyuan had already strode away.The two maids looked her up and down at the same time, and one of them asked curiously:

"Is he someone you like?"

Qu Lanshan felt that her face was burning up, and guessed that she must have blushed again, but she still bravely admitted: "Yes."

"Then does he like you?"

Qu Lanshan lowered her head and thought for a while, but she still didn't dare to make a conclusion about how the other party felt about her, so she just replied, "I don't know."

"What don't you know about this? And you, what's the point of asking?" The other sneered, "I could tell at a glance, that young master must like her, otherwise how could he care about her so much? You can't see how tight you are."

"Seeing is not necessarily believing," Luo Mingjia, who had been silent before, suddenly said, "In everything, you still have to believe in your own heart. Lian Shuang, instead of having time to talk, it's better to quickly do what that young master said .”

The two waitresses immediately fell silent, the one who was called quickly stepped back, and trotted away in the direction of the back kitchen, while the remaining one held Luo Mingjia tight, seeing her face getting more and more ugly, he couldn't help but asked with concern : "Ma'am, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, and I'm not disappointed." The woman stared closely at the figure wearing the Ningbi Pearl not far away, and murmured: "As long as you don't have any expectations, you will never be disappointed again. Fate comes and goes, But that's all."

She clearly remembered that when she went deep into the jade tomb to conspire with Jing Zhao, the man's hair was still black, even before he entered the jade tomb just now.But now, that blackness is mixed with countless grays and whites. The hopeless silvery whites spread from the hair roots, and more and more hair strands have been dyed white.

It seems that the person below is really important to him.

Luo Mingjia closed her eyes, opened them again after a while, she suddenly broke free from the maid's hand, turned around and left, walking resolutely.Qu Lanshan didn't have time to hold her back, she looked up in a panic, but only caught the flash of determination on the other side's face.

At that moment, she found that the things in Luo Mingjia's eyes that she couldn't understand before no longer existed, only a clear light remained.

Luo Mingjia ran not far away, and stopped in front of a person.Qu Lanshan saw her knelt straight down, opened her lips and said something, and then let the kindly-looking nun caress the top of her head.Qu Lanshan recognized that it was Qi Jing Sanren from Meishan, who had disregarded the mortal world for many years. The Meishan Mei Nunnery under his auspices had become the most prestigious nunnery in the cultivation world in recent years.

Through the vaguely heard words and sentences, Qu Lanshan guessed that Luo Mingjia probably said:

"Master, I want to shave my hair and practice with you, and I would like to be with the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for the rest of my life before enshrining the Buddha."

She couldn't help turning her head to look at Jing Zhao who had just calmed down the aftermath, and wondered why in her heart.Why did the real Palace Master Jing finally come back, and the two of them were finally able to stay together again, but Mrs. Jing wanted to be ordained and become a monk?What happened during this period, and what did Palace Master Jing do to make Mrs. Jing so sad?

If you don't ask the person involved, Qu Lanshan will never understand this question.But she didn't give up easily, she was still trying to connect what she had seen and heard in the past few days, and piece together a truth for the whole suspicious clouded matter.

However, at this moment, Qu Lanshan suddenly heard several shouts of anxiety mixed with fear.She looked towards the source of the sound, but saw that it was none other than the owner of the Feng family who was shouting.

"Qingluan! Luo Qingluan! Qingluan, where is Qingluan?"

The man in red with black hair described himself as very embarrassed. Every time he saw someone, he would grab him and ask where Qingluan was and if he had seen Qingluan.However, no one knew the exact answer to this question, and only pointed him to the general direction here.Feng Manlou searched all the way, until he saw Qu Lanshan, his dim eyes lit up, and he ran towards her.

However, before he could open his mouth to ask Qu Lanshan a question, the person who said that he would go to investigate the situation first had already stepped out of Qu Lanshan's side.

"Patriarch Feng, don't worry." Xiao Ziyuan patted Feng Manlou on the shoulder and led him outside, "I heard from Palace Master Jing that Luo Qingluan was seriously injured and had already gone to Qifeng Pavilion first." I am looking for someone to treat her. Let's go, we will accompany you to find her."
