After Wang Xingzhi and others left, Qin Yao and Lin Xiao sat outside in the study for a long time, each with their own thoughts.
What Lin Xiao was thinking about was why Yuan Jie had murderous intentions for the emperor. Since Qing Xuzi was an old acquaintance of him, he wondered if he had been involved in it.
What Qin Yao was thinking about was that if this so-called A Ling was Concubine Hui who later entered Chang'an, then both Yuanjue and Qingxuzi were old acquaintances of her, but Concubine Hui died after giving birth to the prince. Also quite popular. What was the reason that led these two people to put down their respective family businesses and move to Chang'an.
"I have to go to Guanli immediately." Qinyao couldn't wait any longer. She stood up and rolled up Qingxuzi's portrait, and said to Lin Xiao, "Master has hidden many things from me. I didn't know his origins in the past, even if There is nothing I can do to persuade him. Now that we know it, if I ask her again, he must be embarrassed to hide it from me anymore."
Lin Xiao glanced at Qin Yao. Although she acted openly, she was always prudent. She rarely acted so straightforwardly. It was obvious that no matter what happened, she had never doubted her master's character.
But no matter what he thought in his heart, without evidence, it was not good to speculate about her master in front of her, so as not to make her sad.
Qin Yao took two steps and turned around to see Lin Xiao still looking at her quietly. She was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Xiao smiled, approached her and said, "Nothing, let's go and go to Qingyun Temple to find the Taoist priest and ask for clarification."
Qin Yao saw Lin Xiao's doubtful look and vaguely understood that Lin Xiao had not lived with the master for more than ten years like her, and her understanding of the master's character was very superficial, especially now that she knew that the master had concealed his past identity. , I am afraid that I have become suspicious of the master.
This seems to be the first time the couple has had a disagreement over something.
But he still chose to trust her and accompany her to find the truth.
Her heart was full, she looked at him silently, held his hand, and swallowed the word thank you back in her throat.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out of the sky.
Qin Yao was wrapped in a thick winter coat, and her hands were held by Lin Xiao. She was warm from head to toe, but she still felt chills in her heart. She knew that in addition to her low mood, her body had also been Exhausted to the extreme.
Lin Xiao took off his cloak, wrapped it around her body, hugged her and advised: "It's still a long way to go to Qingyun Temple, you should sleep for a while first."
Qin Yao nodded, nestled in Lin Xiao's arms, and closed her eyes obediently, but she couldn't calm down in her heart.
Since they started to investigate the affairs of the academy some time ago, the more they investigate, the more they feel that the situation is out of control and the more thrilling it becomes.
"I think the person behind it was just to close the academy and re-establish the position, so he sneaked into the academy quietly and killed Ms. Lu. It can be seen that he is both skillful and cruel, and he is an extremely difficult person to deal with.
What worries her the most is that Master's attitude towards the Academy is too weird. He has obviously damaged something in the Academy, but he doesn't know what to worry about and has not taken action for a long time. And tonight, they found out that Master and Yuan Jiedu and Concubine Hui are old acquaintances.
She didn¡¯t dare to think about it anymore. She didn¡¯t know what kind of truth they would find out if they continued to investigate, and whether they had enough wisdom and ability to bear this truth.
She opened her eyes and took a look at Lin Xiao. His face was as calm as ever. This series of chores that came one after another did not let him put any sadness on his face.
She breathed a sigh of relief. This man has a reassuring power. No matter what happens in the outside world, he always seems to try his best to control things to the best. He never hides or avoids, and he never shows mercy.
Thinking like this, her mood settled, and fatigue swept over her. This time she no longer resisted, and fell asleep in his arms after a while.
Prince Lan's Mansion passes through more than half of Chang'an City from Qingyun Temple, and it takes an hour to get there.
Whether it was because she was too sleepy or because Lin Xiao's arms were too comfortable, Qin Yao fell into a deep sleep. She didn't wake up from her deep sleep until she heard the sound of gold and metal clashing in her ears.
"What's wrong?" This voice always heralded danger and assassination. Her sleepiness immediately dissipated completely. She sat up straight and looked at Lin Xiao sleepily.
Holding the sword in his hand, Lin Xiao opened the car curtain and stared outside the car intently. The firelight cast dappled light and shadow on his face, and his expression was as cold and solemn as ever.
Qin Yao was startled, and she leaned out and looked out, and saw that the carriage had already arrived at Qingyun Temple.
The sound of fighting came from inside the temple.
&nAn assassin fighting with Chang Rong and others.
His talisman skills are obviously superior to Qin Yao's. As long as the assassin is hit by flying, the assassin will fall to the ground without even taking a breath.
With the help of Qingxuzi¡¯s master and apprentice, Chang Rong and others quickly gained the upper hand and fell with their swords in hand. Knock down the assassins one by one, leaving only the last two, and prepare for torture for a while before tying them up and throwing them aside.
But when everyone was cleared and they went to interrogate those two people, they found that they had already died of anger, and they were not given a chance to interrogate them at all.
Qin Yao jumped down from the wall and ran to her master. Just as she was about to ask him where her senior brother was, the fire that she could see had spread from the backyard to the front yard, and the flames burned the beams and windows. , the wind not only failed to extinguish the raging fire, but instead blew the fire out of control.
If you delay any longer, you will be trapped in the temple by the fire, and no one can escape.
Everyone did not dare to stay and hurriedly retreated outside the viewing area.
Lin Xiao ordered Chang Rong to pick out two corpses and throw them on the horse. He turned around and saw Qin Yao and Qing Xuzi looking at the Qingyun Temple that was gradually being swallowed up by the fire with regretful faces. They were afraid that their mood would become worse if they continued to look at it, so they hurriedly pulled them away. They got into the carriage.
After Chang Rong and others had packed up, Lin Xiao ordered them to drive to an unknown courtyard in Prince Lan's Mansion.
On the carriage, Qin Yao looked at her master anxiously, "Where is senior brother?"
Qing Xuzi ignored Qin Yao for the moment, only closing his eyes to smooth out the chaotic aura, and then slowly said: "I hid your senior brother elsewhere a few days ago."
Qinyao was stunned for a moment, "Why did you hide him?"
Qingxuzi was silent.
Seeing that her master still refused to tell the truth, Qin Yao angrily opened the portrait of her master when he was young and put it in front of him, "Master, to be honest with you, the prince and I have been investigating your past these days. We have already I know that you were originally a Taoist priest from Yuezhou, and your common name is Su Jianfu. You two are old acquaintances of Concubine Hui. You came to Chang'an only twenty years ago. Master, am I right? Now that things have happened, you Are you still unwilling to tell me anything?"
When Qing Xuzi saw the painting, he was shocked at first, as if he wanted to lose his temper, but then he saw the pain on Qin Yao's face, and then turned to slump. After a long silence, he shook his head and said with an unbearable expression: "When you were a child, After suffering so much, finally living a pure life for a few days, and being so loving to the prince, how can I have the heart to involve you? You kid, why do you have to keep investigating!"
Qin Yao said bitterly: "Now it's not like you thought, we can stay out of it if we don't get involved! Ever since that night when we accidentally discovered that the academy is full of resentful spirits, the people behind it may have had murderous intentions. Tonight, we have made it clear that we will kill everyone. If you continue to refuse to say anything like this, all of us will be doomed!"
Lin Xiao looked at Qing Xuzi from the side and saw that he had white hair and his shoulders were slumped down, as if he was carrying an extremely heavy burden. He was completely different from the man in the portrait. This shows how much he has suffered in these years. What kind of secret is hidden in my heart, I would rather lose my life than reveal it.
Qing Xuzi already knew that the situation was over, so he no longer stubbornly resisted. He sighed almost inaudibly and said quietly: "Ayao, do you still remember the extremely evil Taoist formations that my master told you?"
Qinyao was startled for a moment, then nodded and said: "Remember! But you said that these methods are used by people with evil intentions to harm others. They are not allowed by the righteousness of the world, and we will never be allowed to learn them."
Qing Xuzi gave a bitter smile, "There is a formation here called the Qishao Infant Locking Formation. Can you tell me what's evil about this formation?"
Qin Yao searched in her mind for a while, and said thoughtfully: "When setting up the formation, take a newly deceased corpse and lock the soul of the deceased in the body to maintain the remaining consciousness of the deceased. Then use bone-penetrating nails to pierce the corpse. Thousands of holes are used to bite the bones of the corpse with invisible secret methods, causing the deceased to suffer heartbreaking pain day and night, but because he is trapped between the yin and yang, there is no way to escape. When the resentment of the deceased accumulates to a certain level, the child who wants to suppress it will be The birth date and birth date were engraved on one side of the iron plate, and the other side was smeared with the child's blood, and pressed under the bones. The grievances of the resentful spirits poured out onto the cursed child. No matter how smart he was, he could only grow worse day by day. Stupid¡ª¡ª"
When he said this, his heart was shocked, "You mean! Senior brother was put into the Seven Evils Locking Infant Formation? But this method is said to be extremely poisonous. It not only makes people stupid, but also makes the suppressed people's spirituality become increasingly strong." If consumed, he will die suddenly within ten years. Unless¡ª¡ª"
The more she spoke, the more frightened she became, "Unless someone knows how to refine the Soul-Linging Pill, even if someone knows, it will not be easy to maintain for a long time, because this pill is called the Jinjin Pill, and it requires a large amount of rare medicinal materials to be refined every year¡ª¡ª"
As she spoke, she suddenly raised her head to look at her master, and met his extremely bitter gaze. She was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "Have you been using Dinghun Pills to prolong the life of my senior brother all these years?"
