The sky washed by the rain seemed to become particularly cool.
The sky and the earth are vast, but the top of the mountain in Shushi seems to be covered with heavy clouds.
Amidst the clear light, a figure in white clothes streaked across the night sky like a shooting star in the darkness.
***
The color of the sky has begun to gradually fade from a rich blue.
The sky seemed to be starting to get brighter.
The candlelight on the table began to dim, and the flickering light made all the furnishings in the room extremely blurry.
Xiao Xingchen took out a pair of fire scissors, removed the lampshade outside the candlestick, and carefully stirred the thick candle wick inside. The already somewhat black candle wick was gently cut away by the fire scissors, and the light on the candlestick instantly changed again. It became brighter, illuminating the face of Gu Jianghe sitting at the table.
Putting the lampshade back on the candlestick, Xiao Xingchen half-crouched in front of Gu Jianghe, looking at the clear finger prints on her fair neck, he couldn't help but reach out to touch her wound: "Does it hurt? "
Although he felt a slight pain coming from the wound at the slightest touch, Gu Jianghe still smiled and shook his head.
Xiao Xingchen tightly held her hands on her knees.
"Xingwan, don't provoke the leader head-on anymore. With his ability, it's easy to kill us."
Gu Jianghe took out his hand and covered Xiao Xingchen's hand, comforting him in a low voice: "Look, even though I angered him, he didn't kill me in the end, right?"
Thinking of Mingfeng's unusual behavior just now, and the way he looked when he took away his jade pendant, she intuitively told her that maybe the chance for them to leave Mingyue Sect has come: "Maybe, the chance for us to leave here has come. "
"You seem to really want to leave here?"
In the room that became bright again, only their two voices echoed. At this time, another voice suddenly sounded, which startled both Gu Jianghe and Xiao Xingchen, and they immediately jumped up like startled rabbits.
Xiao Xingchen subconsciously reached out and took Gu Jianghe into his arms.
Only then did she realize that the voice that seemed to be Qingling just now came back again.
Unlike Ming Feng's unreasonable behavior, Qing Ling gently pushed open the door to the room.
A pair of dark brown eyes stared at Gu Jianghe blankly.
"Yes, I really want to leave here. If not, I hope he can leave here safely."
"Xingwan, don't talk nonsense." The arm holding Gu Jianghe's arms suddenly became stronger. Xiao Xingchen lowered his head and said to the woman in his arms, "Although I can't do anything, at least I won't leave you."
"It's such a deep love between brother and sister. I didn't expect that after ten years of seeing you, you can still have such emotions behind you." Qing Ling slowly stepped into the room. In the brightly lit space, the silver light around him seemed to fade a lot. , seems to have merged with the surrounding light, "But it seems that the chance for you to leave here has really come. Ranchen and Wen Jirou teamed up to attack the mountain."
"What?" What Qing Ling said obviously shocked Gu Jianghe. She stood up straight and gently pushed Xiao Xingchen. After he let go of her hand in time, Gu Jianghe moved forward unconsciously. Taking a big step forward, "They actually attacked the Mingyue Sect?"
"Yes, there is a certain selfishness in attacking the Mingyue Sect, but part of it, I think, is for you."
Her long black hair was held up by a blue-purple gentian flower. The flower branches in her hair seemed to complement the gentian flower on her forehead, attracting vitality. The flower on her forehead seemed to be swinging its branches and leaves.
There seemed to be a trace of envy in those dark brown eyes.
"The leader took your jade pendant and must have seen through his intentions. And the world-famous Lord of Yunzhong City really did not disappoint us."
"What exactly do you mean?"
Qing Ling took two more steps forward. At this time, the distance between him and Gu Jianghe was only a short step. He leaned down lightly, his long black hair hanging down lightly from his ears, and there was a scent of flowers. came from him.
A soft voice sounded in Gu Jianghe's ears: "The leader used your life as a bargaining chip to let Wen Ji and Ranchen go to the top of Shushi Mountain alone, and they agreed."
Just a few words, but it seemed like all the blood had been taken away from her face.
On the woman's pale and haggard cheeks, the originally warm gaze in her eyes gradually turned cold.
"The Lord of Yunzhong City is really a strange person," Qing Ling straightened up, "I used the lives of Ayouduo and her child as a bargaining chip, but now I am able to risk my own life for you."
"Qingling, what is your purpose?" The woman looked at the man in front of her coldly, and the look in her eyes began to become cold.
Qing Ling looked at Gu Jianghe with a smile: "You are really smart."
She looked at him intently.
From the beginning, she felt that this white-robed priest had a very deep mind of his own. He seemed to obey the cold and ruthless leader in everything, but he always showed a sense of compassion for all things.
When he had just arrested her and brought her to the Mingyue Sect, he seemed to hate her because her father, Ayuduo, betrayed the Mingyue Sect and betrayed him. But after such a long time, she discovered that his feelings for Ayouduo were deeper and gentler than she had imagined. How could such a gentle person hate someone he loved?
"You really look like Ayouduo. You are more like Ayouduo. You can always read my thoughts clearly." Qingling sighed softly.
"You don't want to help Mingfeng do those bad things, right?"
"Whether I want to or not, do you think I have a choice?" A sad look suddenly began to surge between Qing Ling's brows, "As the sole heir of the priest of the Mingyue Sect, my destiny has long been connected with the leader. Together, unless he dies, this contract can never be broken, and I will always be his slave."
"So you just watched him kill the leader of Bihai?" Gu Jianghe said coldly.
Sure enough, when she heard the name of the Bihai leader, Qing Ling suddenly became excited: "Yes, I watched him kill the Bihai leader with my own eyes. I watched him stab the dagger into the Bihai leader's belly." Qing Ling said. Ling stretched out his hand and turned it back and forth in front of his eyes unconsciously, but in his mind he recalled that day, when such bright red blood spurted out from the beautiful woman's abdomen, dyeing Mingfeng's hands red. At this time, it seemed that it was his hands that were soaked in blood.
"The leader of Bihai is such a beautiful woman, her words are always so gentle but powerful. She is such a strange woman, she has all the abilities of a priest, so she also has the ability to watch stars. She watches stars every night, for The people here can escape all natural disasters. But I seem to have been staying by her side for as long as I can remember.
It seems that the leader of Bihai has been cultivating me as a candidate for priesthood, but in those years, she gave me the warmth and care like a mother.
But Mingfeng killed her. "
Qing Ling's eyes projected cold murderous intent: "He killed the leader of Bihai and forced me to make a contract with him. I will never be able to betray him in this life."
"But you want to kill him?"
"Yes, I thought about him. Ayouduo's arrival made me gradually forget the pain of Bihai Cult Leader leaving me. She has been with me for many years. However, Mingfeng forced Ayouduo to continue to obtain red blood sesame. There was constant bleeding. She finally couldn't take it anymore, so I helped her escape."
"You were the one who let her go?" Shock filled the faces of Gu Jianghe and Xiao Xingchen, and they looked at each other unconsciously, "I always thought..."
"What I always thought was that I hated Ayouduo for betraying me, so I wanted to kill her, right?" Qing Ling suddenly laughed, "I couldn't bear her to die here, so I secretly let her go, and the leader didn't Not knowing that I let her go, he was very angry and desperately wanted to catch her back. But at this time, Ayouduo met a man from Zhongyuan, and the man from Zhongyuan took her away from Yunnan South, fled to the Central Plains.
Ayouduo, who fled to the Central Plains, gave birth to you two. I always thought that she could live peacefully in the Central Plains like that. Although I hope she can stay with me and stay in Mingyue Sect, but if she can save her life and where she lives, then what does it matter? Just like the leader of Bihai, she will stay in Mingyue Sect forever, but I But he could never see her again. "
A smile filled Qingling's eyes, but behind the smile, there was a sad look.
"But I never expected that Mingfeng would actually reach an agreement with the Lord of Yunzhong City. In the end, Ayouduo returned to Mingyue Sect in a dead state." Qing Ling took a deep breath, "What I didn't expect is that , ten years later, you actually came back here."
Gu Jianghe remained silent.
"But tonight may be a turning point in fate." Qing Ling looked at Gu Jianghe, "Do you know Wen Jirou's life experience?"
"I only know a thing or two."
"I was observing the stars at night a few days ago and found that there was a star that affected the leader's star appearing next to his star. If my guess is correct, he will be the key to killing Mingfeng. Because his blood is Mingfeng The Achilles’ heel.”
"You told me all this because I play a very important role in such a plan."
Gu Jianghe said in a very affirmative tone.
Qing Ling nodded: "Yes, last time Wen Jirou broke the leader's barrier with blood and made him come back injured. I told him that if he wanted to have no fatal points in the future, there was only one way. Kill Wen Jirou and use Take his blood together with the Red Blood Mushroom, and he will never have any rivals in this world."
"But that's not the case?"
"The fact is," Qing Ling looked at the woman in front of her with bright eyes, "if Wen Ji Rou Red Blood Zhi is in hand, he will be the only sharp sword in the world that can kill Ming Feng."
