This was the first time Qingyan heard this statement. When they tried to go back before, they clearly walked in a dark passage for a long time.
"If the two sides are connected, then my parents' previous lives wouldn't have ended up there by chance a few hundred years later, right?"
Qingyan guessed, otherwise how could people from two different time and spaces have the same aura? Wouldn't it mean that there would be another her more than a thousand years later.
Chou Chou nodded, "It's very possible that people in the two worlds can only look similar, but it's impossible for their souls and aura to be similar. If there is another Zhu Yan in this world, it's impossible for him to have my aura. Even if they are from the same sect, they are two different people. Individuals, unless they are the same."
Qingyan thought for a while and said, "Then we have to change the route. I want to go to Dongting and Poyang Lake, in case I can see my parents' previous lives."
Chou Chou fully agrees, and it also wants to see it. Although he has lived for many years and has inherited memories even if he starts over, he has never seen two lives of a human being.
"Then tell me, why did this dragon die here? It couldn't have been my parents' previous life, right?"
Were your parents so cruel in their previous lives?
Chou Chou shook his head, "That's not true. After finding out the reason, he had a fight with your father's previous life. Because your father had a guilty conscience, he was beaten unilaterally, and the matter was over.
After all, it was just a marriage between two dragon palaces. There was no relationship between him and your mother in the previous life. They just felt it was a loss of face.
Later, she married another daughter of the Dragon King of Dongting, your mother’s third sister in her previous life.
You may still be a little angry after that. Getting married is not good for the third princess. She is always flirting with women. His parents often tease her, thinking that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. He is thousands of miles away from Dongting. It spread to Dongting.
Unexpectedly, a talented scholar came here and could actually see the suffering third princess, and successfully helped deliver the message.
When the matter was exposed, the uncle of the third princess, Qiantang Longjun, came to kill him. He was a hot-tempered man. Seeing how miserable his niece was, this little selong was fooling around with a little carp in a lake over Chenqiao. He got really angry and killed this little dragon.
The little dragon died here at that time, and only the dragon ball sank into the lake. Later, it went underground along with the outlet of the underground river. "
Qingyan always felt that this story was very familiar, as if it was very similar to the legend her mother heard when she went to Dongting Lake to play.
"The scholar who sent the message to the third princess isn't named Liu Yi, is he?"
Chou Chou looked confused, "I don't know, I'll ask him."
After a moment, he said: "It's true, how did you know?"
Qingyan had an expressionless face, "You forgot that during the summer vacation when I was a junior high school student, my parents and I went to Dongting Lake. There was a Liu Yi Well there, and the tour guide told us this story.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true, and it was related to my parents’ previous lives!
Then will this Dragon Ball always bully me and take revenge? After all, his death seems to have something to do with my parents' previous lives, as he died at the hands of my mother's uncle. "
Chou Chou shook his head, "No, I just warned it. Now it is in my space. If it dares to bully you, I will absorb it."
Qingyan immediately felt safe, and indeed Chou Chou was reliable.
She tentatively walked towards the pool, and until she put her hand into the water, she was not attacked again. It seemed that she was really honest.
"This water has water aura, is it spiritual spring water?"
She ruffled the water in her hand and asked Chou Chou.
Chou Chou: "Theoretically, it should be, but it's certainly not as rich in aura as Xiang Xiang. Drinking it is also good for the body.
I'll get some for you later and put them in a storage bag. You can put them in a water bag when you go out.
But it’s best not to give it to others. They are not like you who have been accustomed to drinking spiritual spring water since childhood. They may have reactions, such as diarrhea and body pain. If they misunderstand you and poison them, it will be bad, and you can’t explain it. "
Qingyan nodded, "I understand. I won't give it to others. What about the ingot? It should be usable, right?"
Chou Chou nodded, "It's no problem. That guy has a copper heart and an iron stomach. He can even digest nails."
Qingyan felt relieved now. It would be hard if no one shared something that was good for people.
After talking to Chou Chou for a while, he asked about the murder case at Daxiangguo Temple.
She couldn't see over there now, so she didn't know if ChouChou was paying attention behind her.
Chou Chou "After you left, I walked forward underground while watching with my spiritual consciousness. They later reported it to the official. Everyone in the temple knew it, including the people living in other wings. There was no way to hide it." down.
Later, an official went there, but he had been dead for two days, and the doors and windows were plugged in from the inside. There were no signs of a struggle, so no clues were found.
The body has now been transported to Yizhuang. There will be a policeman there to examine the body, and then it will be temporarily placed there. When the family is found, someone will come and claim it. "
Qingyan sighed and said: "Everything we have encountered in the past few days seems to have no beginning or end. There was no progress in the assassination of Zhao Rixin. The killer who was captured alive refused to say anything. The three people who followed us before There is no where to go.
Now that such a murder has occurred again, it feels like there are more and more mysteries. It seems that the capital is even more unstable.
We'll leave after visiting the Plum Market. If we stay here, we feel like this kind of thing will happen more and more, and our brains won't be enough. "
Chou Chou nodded: "Okay, it's up to you, we can leave whenever you want.
And the three people you mentioned who are following you, draw their faces and give them to me, and I will use my spiritual sense to look for them. "
Qingyan nodded. She originally didn't want to trouble Chou Chou. After all, two days had passed and no one knew where they had gone. The area they were looking for was quite large.
But those people couldn't help, there was no progress at all, and she encountered it again, so she thought she could help.
I told Chou Chou again that tomorrow I would let him pretend to be an old farmer selling fruits and vegetables so that she could use them to give away.
Then I drank some water from the pool, after boiling it of course. After waiting for a while and seeing no reaction, I went out to sleep.
When she got up the next morning, Qingyan freshened up, had breakfast with Zhao Rixin, and then went out.
Not far from Xue Minghua’s home, I met Chou Chou carrying a load to buy fruits and vegetables.
It transformed into a very ordinary-looking middle-aged man, and every move he made was that of a standard farmer. If it hadn't transmitted the message to Qingyan in advance, Qingyan might not have been able to recognize him.
Qingyan pretended to hear the shouting and raised the curtain at the car window, then asked Uncle Liu to stop.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Rixin followed her out of the carriage and was surprised to see the fresh fruits and vegetables in the basket.
Although the royal family has a hot spring village that supplies fruits and vegetables, he has never seen fresh ones, especially the vegetables, which are all prepared and served.
The fruit is whole, but not as big as this one, nor as juicy as this one. It smells sweet.
He didn't even wait for Qingyan to say anything, just waved his hand and wrapped it round. He also told Qingyan that he would take some to the Yang Mansion together so that Aunt Xue could have a taste.
When Qingyan heard this, she thought, come on, there is no need for her to buy it. Anyway, the goal was achieved.
Chou Chou didn't ask for much, so he sold them at the price they had bought before. The two large baskets of fruits and vegetables received a total of three taels of silver.
They divided the fruits and vegetables directly here and divided them into two portions. One basket was given to Xue Minghua, and the other basket was brought into the palace later.
As a result, as soon as they put the two baskets on the carriage, Chou Chou shouted "Be careful!"
Qingyan subconsciously pulled Zhao Rixin back, and saw an arrow coming through the air, stuck straight into the carriage, the tip of which penetrated the wood three-quarters of the way, and the arrow feathers behind it were still trembling.
Uncle Liu pulled out the knife from his waist and chased directly in the direction of the arrow.
Qingyan immediately looked over with her consciousness and found a man wearing a scarf and a gray cotton-padded jacket.
Qingyan frowned as she looked at that man's figure. This short figure looked very much like the gentleman from Liang Shang before...
She couldn't see through the scarf, so she asked Chou Chou to see if the other person had an unforgettable face.
It was too late to finish her words yesterday, she hadn't had time to draw a portrait, so now she can only describe it like this.
Chou Chou: "Yes, the eyes are neither big nor small, the nose is neither high nor low, the mouth is neither thin nor thick, it is just a popular face."
Qingyan: "That's him! The person who was on the inn beam before and followed us later, I didn't expect that he was also a killer!"
There was clearly a chance to take action at the inn in Guandu Town before, but I don't know why I just followed and stood still, but now I came to carry out a sneak attack.
Chou Chou saw that the man was so good at Qinggong that Uncle Liu couldn't catch up, so he secretly used his spiritual consciousness to give him a kick in the leg.
The man felt a soreness in his left leg and knelt on one knee on the ground. When his legs returned to normal and he stood up again, Uncle Liu was already there.
Uncle Liu's kung fu was good, and the opponent was only outstanding in light kung fu. He took down the person in a few rounds and directly tied the person back with his belt.
Fortunately, the man was thin, otherwise he might not be able to carry it.
"Master, how should we deal with this man?"
He asked Zhao Rixin.
Zhao Rixin thought for a while and then said to Qingyan: "I won't go to Aunt Xue's place with you today. I will send you to the door and leave. I will take this person to the trial court. You can help me talk to Aunt Xue." Say."
Qingyan nodded, "Okay."
She sorted out the priorities. This person was likely to be the breakthrough point in the assassination case. It would be better for Zhao Rixin to go there in person, lest the officials below would not pay attention to him and this clue would be broken.
She asked Chou Chou to protect her secretly so that she wouldn't run into trouble on the road.
When she arrived at the door of Yang's Mansion, she got off the carriage. Uncle Liu moved a basket of fruits and vegetables for her, knocked on the door for her, and left after the concierge came out to welcome her in.
Qingyan followed the concierge directly into Xue Minghua's yard, and the concierge helped bring the basket in.
"Why did you bring such a big basket? Ah! This is really a rare thing. Isn't it because you took all the royalties given to the Second Prince's Mansion by the palace?"
Xue Minghua came out of the house, obviously much more energetic than yesterday, and said in surprise when he saw the large basket of fruits and vegetables.
Qingyan smiled and replied: "How can it be possible? There are not so many copies of the Prince's Mansion. I bought this on the street corner not far from you.
I happened to meet a farmer who bought these things. He must have a village at home, or he was helping others watch the village steal them and sell them.
We bought some because they looked good. It was paid for by the Second Prince. He was originally going to come over to see you, but suddenly something happened and he had to leave first. He also asked me to tell you. "
Xue Minghua took her hand into the house and asked the servants to move the basket to the small kitchen in the yard. He washed some fruits first and made some vegetables for lunch.
"The second prince has now left the pavilion to build a palace, and he has errands to do. He must be busy. How can he compare with an idle guy like me? You don't need to come to see me. You can just come over. Let us kiss each other more. Lest you stay for a few days and then leave.”
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Qingyan started talking about her visit to Daxiangguo Temple yesterday, the same thing she said to Zhao Rixin.
Before she could talk about the murder case, Xue Minghua said in surprise: "You also went to Daxiangguo Temple yesterday. Did you hear that there was a murder case in that temple?"
Qingyan was confused. Did the news come so quickly? It's only been one night, and the news has spread even to the wife in the back house?
"How do you know, Aunt Minghua? I didn't go inside the temple, but I heard the noise in the temple. I listened outside the wall. It was a young novice who shouted that someone died in the wing. I'm not sure about the details."
Xue Minghua sighed and said: "Hey, either my master is Jingzhao Shaoyi, or he is in charge of criminal matters. He came back very late last night and said that there was a strange case at Daxiangguo Temple.
He also told me about the case and told me that the door and window were closed from the inside. How did the murderer leave?
I didn’t expect you to go there yesterday. Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, I would feel so guilty. It’s all because of me. If I had known better, I wouldn’t have told you about that yard..."
Seeing that her eyes were red, Qingyan knew that she was really worried, so she hurriedly comforted her: "Am I okay? Besides, have you forgotten my skills? I also know the art of fortune-telling, and I will not put myself in danger." of."
Xue Minghua patted her hand, "Be careful and you won't make a big mistake. You can't go there rashly in the future. Even if you want to go, you'd better take more people with you and have someone to look after you."
"Did uncle tell you how that person died? I only know that there was a murder, but I don't know the details. If it doesn't violate any taboos, you can tell me. I'm very curious."
Qingyan quickly changed the subject.
"There's nothing that can't be said. Everyone in the temple knows about it and probably can't hide it.
Your uncle said that the man had his heart and liver ripped out while he was still alive. The death was extremely horrific, and the expression on his face was still there.
But the strange thing was that there was only blood on the bed, not on the floor. The doors and windows were also closed and bolted from the inside. They searched the house and found no place to hide anyone.
No secret passage in the dark room was found, but if the murderer left, who would have bolted the doors and windows? It couldn't be that person who disemboweled himself, right?
How is this possible? Not to mention whether he can do it himself, but where is his heart? You can't just disappear, right? "
