Yan Niang's eyes flashed with an imperceptible smile, but her face was still unfazed, she reached out and grabbed the sword spike in her hand, and lowered her head to stare at the complex dragon pattern on it.
Before long, a sword hilt made of bronze appeared on the top of the sword spike, and although the sword body could not be seen, it still felt that it was cold and cold, and the blade was like autumn frost.
"Jiaofen Chengying, the geese have forgotten to return, Kong Zhou, you finally woke up."
Yan Niang held the hilt of the sword tightly in her palm, and she could feel the warmth on it flowing down her meridians to every corner of her body.
The hilt of the sword emitted a faint white light, and immediately flew upward, taking Yan Niang's light body, burrowing into the black chaos, turning into the only star in the sky.
When she opened her eyes again, Yan Niang found that she had returned to Lingxian Temple, but now, the warm winter sun had sprinkled overhead, coating the courtyard with a layer of melting white light.
Kong Zhou stood a few feet away from her, his dark face, that smile was warmer than the sun, and he saluted Yan Niang, "Girl, I haven't seen you for a long time." ” Yan Niang walked up to him and reached out and pinched his thick shoulder a few times, "Kong Zhou, is there anything wrong with your body?"
” Kong Zhou smiled again, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Miss Lao bother, I'm fine." ” Yan Niang nodded, "That demon iron ruler is an extremely fierce magic weapon, and you are lucky to be able to pick up a life." ” "I knew that I was in danger of being doomed that day, so I simply suffered a whip from him, but fortunately, all his heart was on Hu Zhun that day, and he didn't carefully explore whether I was dead, so I could come back and report to the girl."
Yan Niang's eyes showed a little gratitude, "Kong Zhou, I've suffered you." ” Kong Zhou took out the wine gourd and poured a few sips into his mouth, "With the company of fine wine, where will it be bitter?"
Speaking of this, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said to Yan Niang, "Girl, what are you here for?"
” Yan Niang squinted at the Buddha statue in the room, a trace of sadness rose between her eyebrows, and she said in a low voice, "Miss Jiang disappeared to investigate the matter of Yushan Village, and Jingwei came to look for her, but she never returned, and even the copper needle failed to summon Jingwei's soul back." ” Kong Zhou furrowed two thick eyebrows, "Jingwei's soul must be trapped in that Guangtai Temple, so it can't return to the girl."
It is to find Miss Jiang, could it be that Miss Jiang's soul is also in Guangtai Temple?
The body and soul are separated, is this Jiang regret that he is no longer alive?
” Yan Niang bit her lower lip, and her face was a little more worried, "What you said is good, but I hope that things will turn around, Miss Jiang is still young and has a chivalrous heart, I really don't want her to have an accident." ” Kong Zhou looked at her worried appearance, paused, and finally asked the sentence that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, "Girl, are you so worried about her because of Cheng Muyou?"
” Yan Niang glanced at him and said lightly, "Yes, but not all." ” "What do you mean by that?"
"Cheng Muyou is completely different from Cheng Dexuan, he attaches great importance to love and justice, handles cases impartially, and is a rare good official in the court.
What's more, he also participated in the ten-year sacrifice of the first emperor, and the other five were all officials of the previous dynasty, but he was the only one who joined completely because of his remembrance and reverence for the first emperor, which I particularly admired. ” Kong Zhou's voice softened, "That's why the girl married into Cheng Mansion?"
” Yan Niang smiled lightly, "Of course, marrying him is to avenge the first emperor, but he is really not a nasty person, and it is comfortable to get along with him day and night." ” Hearing this, Kong Zhou was stunned, and just wanted to say something more, but the Chengying Sword on his waist suddenly trembled, and a layer of white luster floated on the hilt.
"Seiying seems to have sensed something."
Kong Zhou untied the hilt of the sword from his waist as he spoke, and as soon as Fang let go, Chengying fell to the ground and jumped out like a fast-swimming snake.
"How did it get to the backyard of the Lingxian Temple?"
After asking this sentence, Yan Niang and Kong Zhou glanced at each other, and chased after Chengying at the same time, and the two came to the backyard and found that it was standing firmly on the vegetable field, and the white light around it spread outward in a circle, blending with the sunlight and turning into a colorful halo.
"Cheng Muyou once said that the woman who was killed by those lewd monks was buried in the vegetable field of this Lingxian Temple," Yan Niang muttered to herself.
Kong Zhou stared intently at the newly moistened soil, and the corners of his lips curled, "Girl, if anyone wants to dispose of the corpse, it is best to bury it here."
There has been a murder in this Lingxian Temple, ordinary people don't dare to come here at all, after a long time, the corpse turns into white bones, even if it is found, it will only think that it is a corpse left out of the previous case, and will not be suspicious to other places. ” Yan Niang narrowed her eyes, "If that's the case, then this murderer is really a tricky and vicious person, Kong Zhou, you dig up here quickly, I want to see what is down here." ” Kong Zhou walked to Chengying's side, and gently inserted the hilt of his sword downward, shaking away all the gravel and sediment.
He suddenly let out an "ah", his eyes stared at the ground motionlessly, and the expression on his face became much more solemn.
Yan Niang's heart tightened, and she had already guessed what he saw in her heart, but when she crossed Kong Zhou's shoulder and saw the familiar figure in the pit, her brain was still buzzing, like being slapped in the air by someone, and she couldn't recall it for a long time.
Yan Niang came to the outside of the study with a bowl of porridge, the porridge had been heated several times in her right ear, so it was still steaming slightly.
She knocked lightly on the door a few times, and when she saw that no one answered, she put the bowl at the door, looked through the window paper at the figure lying in front of the table, and said softly, "Official, I have put the porridge by the door, if you are hungry, you can eat it." ” After speaking, seeing that the people inside still did not respond, she sighed softly and turned her head to leave.
But before she turned around, her hand was grabbed by a cold little hand, Xun'er stood close to her body, looked up at her face, and said timidly, "Yan Niang, Daddy, he hasn't eaten for two days, can his body bear it?"
Otherwise, let's go and persuade him, I'm afraid of him" Speaking of this, his big eyes were already full of tears, and he choked for a while before he continued, "It's a pity that my sister is no longer here, Xun'er Xun'er can't lose her father anymore" Yan Niang squatted down, stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on Xun'er's face, looked at his eyes seriously, and said softly, "I know your father, he is by no means a cowardly and weak person, he will not be so vulnerable, I think, he just needs a little time to wear off this blow." ” Xun'er snorted and stared at Yan Niang suspiciously, "Really?
”
