Cang Yue frowned affectionately, feeling distressed in her heart.
I thought that the two of them would be able to tie the knot after Shen Guining and Ji had handed in the invitation letter, but never thought
The Shen family has always been kind, and has never had any enmity with anyone. Why did it come to such a sudden calamity, not to mention that Shen Lingchen's skills are beyond the reach of ordinary people. What kind of opponent can kill Shen Lingchen
In the autumn of the first year of Yong'an, Shen Qian's son, the prime minister of the Cang Yue Dynasty, was killed, and none of the servants and servants in the mansion were spared.
As soon as the incident in Shen's residence happened, all the ministers in Cang Yue were in an uproar. Emperor Yong'an fully mobilized the Imperial Forest Army to search for suspicious persons throughout the city.
Immediately, the entire imperial city was heavily guarded, and the people closed their doors even more, for fear of such and such unexpected disasters.
And the entire Shen residence was shrouded in sadness.
The coffin was placed for seven days, and when it was the day of the funeral, the sky was covered with dark clouds and the wind was blustery, revealing that a storm was about to come.
Shen Guining carefully embraced Shen Lingchen's spirit card in her arms, looked at the wooden coffin that was gradually buried in the soil with a pale face, bit her lips tightly, and clasped her hands tightly, trying to restrain the emotions that have been forbearing for several days, for fear of not paying attention , will break down and cry.
After the burial was over, Shen Guining knelt in front of the grave alone. At this time, she had not had a drop of water for many days, her face was haggard, and there was no trace of blood on her pale face. Her eyes were motionless looking at the grave in front of her. Cover up the grief.
Shen Guining sat cross-legged on the ground, took the guqin beside her, and the soothing and peaceful sound of the piano sounded slowly, peaceful and peaceful.
As long as Shen Lingchen was in the mansion before his death, he liked to stay in Nanyuan and listen to Shen Guining playing the piano, but now he never has such an opportunity.
This song is called "Requiem", and it is used to stabilize the soul of the deceased and save the soul. It allows the deceased to let go of the resentment of this life, cross the River of Forgetfulness and Styx as soon as possible, and reincarnate.
Listening to such a peaceful and peaceful sound of the piano, the scene of the tragic death of the entire Shen family and everything that the Shen family suffered suddenly appeared in Shen Guining's mind, and her eyes, which were always as calm as the sea, became cold and determined.
Shen Guining, who was immersed in her thoughts, did not realize that her fingertips had been cut open by the strings, and bright red blood was gurgling out, and then sucked into the piano.
Cang Yue Changqing, who was standing in the distance, just watched Shen Guining's thin and frail back quietly, and did not notice this weird scene.
The soothing and tranquil tune was played repeatedly by Shen Guining, and it was not until late at night that she slowly got up, turned and left.
Sensing the person quietly following her in the dark, Shen Guining's face became gloomy. Now that something like this happened in Shen's residence, she and him
Shen Guining turned around, looked at Cang Yue, who also stopped and kept a certain distance from her, and sighed secretly.
"My lord, do you know what this is?"
Shen Guining took out the mulberry paper found in the kitchen that day from her waist and asked.
Cang Yue Changqing heard Shen Guining's hoarse and powerless voice, and looked at her haggard face, with a touch of distress in her eyes.
In the past 20 years, he has never had such a feeling. Because of Concubine Shu's death, he and Emperor Kang Sheng had a grudge, so Emperor Kang Sheng passed away suddenly, Cang Yue Changqing felt a little surprised, but not much sad sad.
But for Shen Guining, seeing what happened to her in the past few days with her own eyes, seeing her getting thinner and thinner, Cang Yue Changqing's heart felt like being pricked by a needle, a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Cang Yue Changqing thought of Shen Lingchen again.
He is very clear about Shen Lingchen's martial arts attainments, who could actually kill him?
Cang Yue Changqing took the mulberry paper handed over by Shen Guining, and carefully looked at the white powdery substance attached to the paper, Cang Yue Changqing smelled it, and her face suddenly sank.
"If this king is not mistaken, this thing should be bone erosion powder."
"Bone erosion powder?"
"The Xigu powder is highly poisonous. After ingesting this poison by mistake, the whole body will become weak and unconscious. The longer the time, the more severe the toxicity will be. It will not subside until the bones of the whole body are corroded and the poisoned person dies."
Cang Yue hesitated for a while before continuing.
"This poison is a ghost, where did Ning'er come from?"
Xigu powder is a product used by the ghost gate to punish traitors within the gate. It is highly toxic and rarely appears in the arena. He also heard it from his master many years ago, but he has never really seen it, so he doesn't want to meet it today.
Ghost Gate?
Is it the ghost gate that Shen Lingchen mentioned a few days ago that suddenly ran rampant and killed innocent people indiscriminately?
Thinking of the lifeless dagger he found in Shen Lingchen's study, and the current bone erosion powder, combined with the recent rumors in the market, some answers are ready to come out.
Shen Guining clenched her five fingers tightly, and the expression in her eyes was unpredictable.
It's no wonder that Shen Lingchen, who is a master of martial arts, could not escape death. It turned out that
Seeing Shen Guining at this time, Cang Yue frowned deeply. In fact, he received a secret letter from Minglou two days ago. Guining, I just hope that she can rest for a few days before making plans. I never thought that she would be so thoughtful and found the key clue.
"The people of the ghost gate are extremely vicious, they do many evils, and they are cruel and ruthless. Ning'er must be careful."
Originally wanted to say that this matter needs to be discussed in the long term, but thinking of Shen Guining's decisive temperament, Cang Yue Changqing directly changed her words.
Anyway, he will always be by her side, advance and retreat with her, and avenge her.
"Don't worry, my lord, Ning'er knows it well."
Fortunately, she secretly learned internal skills with Shen Lingchen when she was a child, and practiced swordsmanship in Cangshan Mountain in the past two years. As long as she practices it, one day she will be able to avenge the unjust deaths of everyone in the Shen family.
Cang Yue looked at Shen Guining who turned and left with affection, did not speak, but followed her silently, walking towards Shen's residence¡ª¡ª
But at this time, the dark pavilion, which made the world frightened, was extremely solemn, and everyone looked at the first man in black with a mask in horror.
It has been an hour, and the pavilion master summoned all the hall masters to come here. So far, he has not said a word, remained motionless, and has a terrifying murderous aura all over his body.
There is a saying in the rivers and lakes: When the dark pavilion comes out, the head falls.
The Dark Pavilion is mainly about assassination, and all the killers are very skilled. Whoever is willing to spend a lot of money will take over the job. This is an unwritten rule of the Dark Pavilion.
But a few days ago, the always secretive Pavilion Master recalled all the killers back to the pavilion, hiding in Cang Yue and Nanling's branch halls, and rushed back to Cang Yue non-stop to listen to the Pavilion Master's orders.
"All the hall masters obey the orders. From today onwards, the dark pavilion will stop all assassination operations and accept any assassination business. From today onwards, the dark pavilion will do its best to search for the whereabouts of ghost gates. Anyone who has ghost gates will be killed without mercy. Xiaoqing hall is responsible for investigating ghost gates. The whereabouts of the main ghost, and the rest of the branch halls are doing their best to investigate and collect information on the four halls of the Ghost Gate Chiyan Hall, Eternal Life Hall, Jue Sha Hall, and Suo Ming Hall, and report in time if there is any news."
"I obey." When everyone raised their heads, the depressing figure had disappeared, but the frightening murderous aura lingered for a long time. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
