The scarlet vision was pulled out of the vague memory and pierced into Li Nanke's mind like nails, accompanied by bursts of pain.
Within the flickering double images, the figure of the one-eyed nun became increasingly clear.
Especially those deep blood-red eyes, ferocious and intimidating, seeming to be able to glimpse the secrets hidden deep in the human heart.
In the cave in Dongqi County, he had seen the mysterious one-eyed nun.
At that time I thought it was a red rain hallucination.
But now that he knows more about the world of Red Rain, Li Nanke realizes that the one-eyed nun is not just an illusion, but maybe the same as White Phoenix.
"What happened to the donor?"
Master Guanxin's gentle voice helped Li Nanke wake up from the chaotic memory of Mohu's illusions.
Li Nanke came back to his senses, looked at the portrait and asked, "Who is the person in this painting..."
"He is the previous abbot of our nunnery." Master Guanxin said.
Appointed abbot?
Li Nanke stared at the female nun in the portrait and asked, "I heard from Little Rabbit that the previous abbot died of illness?"
"That's right."
Master Guanxin sighed, "Senior Sister, she has always been in poor health and often suffered from illness. It would be a relief for her to be gone."
Li Nanke nodded and did not ask further questions.
He came to Yunxiang Temple today because of the issue of the White Phoenix maid, and had no time to investigate anything else.
Master Guanxin invited the two of them to sit down and served them sweet tea and pastries.
The pastry is stuffed with jujube and bean fillings and looks quite exquisite. Meng Xiaotu's eyes were firmly attracted by the dish as soon as it was served, and the girl's stomach began to actively make room for its owner.
"Girl Rabbit, is your grandma in good health?"
Master Guanxin sat down and asked softly.
Meng Xiaotu pursed her lips and forced a smile: "Thank you, Master, for caring. Grandma's health is not as good as before, and she is breathing heavily when walking."
"Oh, time flies so fast. It's been several years in a flash. At that time, I still remember clearly that your grandma braved the snowy weather to go up to the sky ladder in order to pray. She was better than those young and strong boys."
Master Guanxin looked far away and sighed, "When I leave later, I will give you some Mingxiang fruit, which is good for your health. I will give it to your grandma to eat."
"Well, thank you, Master." Meng Xiaotu responded sweetly.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and the strange feeling of not seeing each other for several years gradually disappeared. In addition, Meng Xiaotu is quite lively, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.
Of course, the delicacies and pastries on the plate were also delivered to the girl's mouth very familiarly.
While enjoying the delicious food, Meng Xiaotu naturally did not forget the business and asked Master Guanxin: "Master Guanxin, did you take in a crazy woman two years ago? She was the maid of the second lady of Prince Taiping. "
"This must be the reason why you came to Yunxiang'an."
Master Guanxin frowned and looked at Li Nanke with gentle eyes.
Li Nanke nodded and apologized: "There is something involving her, and we want to inquire about something."
Guanxin Master Taixiao took a sip of tea, shook his head and said calmly: "You are just here for nothing, that girl has gone crazy and can't provide any information. Asking her is a waste of time."
"Please, Master, let us see her."
Li Nanke didn't want to give up.
Master Guanxin raised her hand to flick the wisps of hot tea aroma coming out of the cup, and said in silence for a long time: "If it were anyone else, the poor nun would not let outsiders see her.
The girl was emotionally unstable and extremely afraid of strangers. But since she is a rabbit girl, it would be unkind for the poor nun to refuse.
That's all, I'll take you there. But I want to remind you in advance, if you can, try not to irritate her. That girl is really pitiful. "
"Thank you."
Li Nanke looked grateful.
Under the leadership of Master Guanxin, Li Nanke and Meng Xiaotu came to a simple courtyard in the bamboo forest of Houshan.
A small stream flows quietly in front of the courtyard.
There are some cute little chickens on the open ground looking for food and chirping.
As soon as I stepped into the small courtyard, I saw a petite and thin girl sitting on a small bamboo stool with her back to everyone.
"Quieer."
Guanxin Master Tai called out softly.
The girl didn't seem to hear anything. She was holding a long bamboo stick in her hand and tapping it gently on the ground. She was still counting in her mouth, not knowing what she was counting.
Li Nanke walked up to the girl.
The other person looks young, has a delicate appearance, and his skin is very fair. He is small and cute.
Judging from her appearance, she is a very pleasant maid.
It's just that her expression looked a little dull. Even if Li Nanke was standing in front of her, she didn't seem to see her. I just tapped the place names with bamboo sticks and kept counting: "Twenty-three...twenty-four...twenty-five..."
"Quieer."
Master Guanxin knelt down, gently held the girl's hand, and said in a very gentle tone, "Qie'er, someone is here to see you."
The girl turned her little head, looked at the master steadily, and said: "Do you want to eat... But I'm not hungry... I'm not hungry... I don't want to eat..."
"If you don't want to eat, someone is here to see you."
Master Guanxin pointed at Meng Xiaotu and Li Nanke and said.
The girl named Que'er raised her little face and smiled when she saw Meng Xiaotu.
Before Meng Xiaotu could say hello, Miss Queer excitedly stepped forward to hold her hand and said softly: "Are you here to play with me? Great, let's count the stars together. I've already counted... …Counting to…”
The girl couldn't remember clearly, so she tilted her head and tried to recall.
Master Guanxin sighed helplessly and looked at Li Nanke, "She has always been like this."
Li Nanke frowned.
Judging from the situation of Miss Queer, the other party is really crazy.
It was obvious that he had been hit by something and chose to escape.
If you want the other person to wake up, you may need to deeply stimulate her. But this would undoubtedly be very cruel to the girl.
"What to do, you are so smart."
Meng Xiaotu was a very emotional girl. Seeing the good-natured little girl become like this, her nose felt sore and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Li Nanke remained silent, staring at the stream flowing outside the courtyard, lost in thought.
After a long time, he clenched his fists, and after some inner struggle, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Master Guanxin: "Master, we want to be alone with her for a while."
"this……"
Master Guanxin frowned.
Li Nanke said: "I promise you, Master, that we will not harm Miss Que'er."
Master Guanxin still hesitated.
Meng Xiaotu begged: "Master, just believe us, we really won't hurt Miss Que'er." Although she didn't know what her sweetheart was going to do, the girl firmly supported it.
The little rabbit's plea finally worked.
Master Guanxin sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, if anything happens, call someone in time."
"Yeah, we will."
Meng Xiaotu nodded vigorously.
Master Guanxin glanced at Que'er with a worried expression, then turned and left, her figure gradually disappearing from sight.
"Smart, what are you going to do?" Meng Xiaotu asked in a low voice.
Li Nanke took out a bottle of Red Rain from his arms and said: "The reason why she went crazy was because she was greatly stimulated by something. And this matter must be related to what we are investigating.
If you force her to recall, it will make Miss Que'er fall deeper into madness, so there is no need to ask.
However, some painful memories cannot be erased and have always been hidden deep in the heart, locked tightly. It only appears in dreams. "
Hearing this, Meng Xiaotu immediately understood what Li Nanke wanted to do.
Give Miss Que'er some red rain and enter her dream to investigate the truth of that year!
At the same time, get rid of the opponent's nightmare.
Moreover, the elimination of the dream demon is also beneficial to the Que'er girl.
I have to say, this method is very bold.
But as a member of the Night Patrol Department, this method of handling the situation is completely illegal and illegal.
If there is an error, it will be strictly investigated by the superiors.
Li Nanke couldn't care too much now, so he directly hit the back of Miss Que'er's neck with his hand knife, knocking the latter unconscious.
"let's start."
Li Nanke picked up the unconscious girl and placed her on the bed in the bamboo house.
Seeing this, Meng Xiaotu no longer hesitated, took the red rain from the other party, unscrewed the cork, carefully poured some into the girl's mouth, and let it slide down her throat.
The next step is to wait patiently.
About twenty minutes later, a painful expression appeared on the face of the girl Que'er who was lying on the bed.
Meng Xiaotu moved a chair for Li Nanke to sit next to the bed, while she lay beside the girl. She tapped her fingers between her eyebrows to connect her with Li Nanke.
As their heavy eyelids gradually closed, the two of them entered Miss Queer's dream of red rain.
…………
When the darkness fades, everything becomes clear.
The first thing that caught Li Nanke's eyes was a dilapidated Taoist temple. The rotten plaque drooped and swayed slightly with the evening wind.
And this Taoist temple is the one on Phoenix Mountain!
At this moment, the door of the Taoist temple is closed.
Li Nanke and Meng Xiaotu were standing outside the Taoist temple.
The gray sky created a depressing atmosphere, and the surrounding scene was densely foggy.
"What is this place?"
Meng Xiaotu's pretty face was full of doubts.
Li Nanke said: "This Taoist temple is where Bai Fenghuang committed suicide. It seems that something happened here that made Bai Fenghuang go to extremes."
"Could it be that she was really..."
Meng Xiaotu subconsciously covered her mouth, looking shocked.
Li Nanke looked heavy.
Although he tried not to think about the worst, the facts were already in front of him. But I just don’t know who was secretly trying to harm Bai Fenghuang.
"Miss Que'er!"
Meng Xiaotu's eyes lit up and he ran towards the shorter stone pei next to the Taoist temple.
Miss Que'er tried her best to curl herself up in the gap between two huge rocks, her petite and thin body trembling.
The girl who caught a glimpse of the figure rushing toward her screamed in fright.
But after seeing that it was a beautiful girl, her face showed a look of surprise, and she begged with tears in her eyes: "Help me, please help me..."
At this time, Miss Queer was awake.
The cruel incubus pulled her back to her past memories.
"Where is your lady!?"
Li Nanke asked.
"Miss...Miss..." Miss Que'er looked at the closed door of the Taoist temple with fearful eyes, her tone was trembling, "They...they..."
Li Nanke picked up the firecracker and rushed towards the Taoist temple.
Meng Xiaotu, who was afraid that her lover would be harmed, followed closely and threw out the fist-sized meteor hammers.
With a "boom", the Taoist temple door was smashed open.
But there was no white phoenix inside, only five terrifying dream monsters, charging at them ferociously.
Seeing these five dream monsters, Que'er screamed in horror.
