Chapter 249: Bodhi Leaves Fall, Music Ends
On Wuliang Mountain in Dali, in the valley under Wuliang Jade, a ray of purple light fell from the sky, like a banished immortal descending from the dust, falling gracefully.
This person was naturally Xu Xin, who had chased Duan Yanqing all the way to Dali. Since that day, he had an overnight romance with Princess Zhennan, and Xu Xin, who was true to his word, set out to see Duan Yanqing on his way.
Originally, he thought that this matter would not be difficult to handle. After all, Duan Yanqing was considered a member of Xixia Yipintang, and Yipintang had previously provided many conveniences for Duan Yanqing's revenge plan. It should not be difficult to find a way to contact him for an appointment.
But I never thought that Yanqing seemed to have received some news, and suddenly there was no trace at all. Later, through various channels, Xu Xin was able to grasp his traces. This guy went south and seemed to be returning to Dali.
Xu Xin set out the next day after getting the news, trekking all the way through mountains and rivers, even faster than Duan Yanqing. He arrived in Dali before him. It was boring to wait and see, so he went to Wuliang Mountain for a walk first.
The sun in the sky gradually set towards the west, and a large waterfall hung in the air like a jade dragon, rolling down and pouring into a large lake.
Xu Xin walked along the lake for a while and found a large rock that Li Qiushui had mentioned.
He stretched out his hand and pushed, and the rock slowly turned like a door. Only halfway, he saw a cave about three feet high exposed behind the rock.
Xu Xin turned into purple light and walked into the cave. Not long after, he saw a stone door open in front of him. He stepped into the stone room at the bottom of the lake. He saw a stone table with a stool in front of it. There was a bronze mirror standing on the table. Next to the mirror were some combs and hairpins. things.
The bronze mirror was covered with patina, and the table was also dusty. It seemed like no one had been there for a long time.
He lost interest after a quick glance, and took a few steps forward to the room, where he saw a woman, to be precise, a jade sculpture.
This jade statue is about the same size as a human being. It is wearing a shabby light yellow silk shirt that trembles slightly. Its eyes are bright and full of energy.
The jade-carved woman looks about eighteen or nineteen years old. She has a childlike look on her eyebrows and corners of her eyes. She has a slight smile on her lips, which is indescribably charming and amiable. There is a thin black mole on her upper lip, which adds to her elegance.
There is a faint red color in the white jade texture on her face, which is no different from the skin of ordinary people. The jade-carved eyes made of black stones have a faint gleam in them, and they really look like a living person.
Xu Xin walked around the jade sculpture and saw her eyes following him. No matter which side he was standing on, the jade statue's eyes were always facing him. The look in his eyes was even more elusive, like resentment, sorrow, endless joy, and There seems to be hope and expectation.
"Li Canghai! I don't know where she went!"
When Xu Xin was looking at the jade sculpture, his heart moved. Wu Yazi carved the jade statue at that time and also used the profound method of Xiaoyao School, which made him quite enlightened.
As the ancients said, if three people are walking together, there must be one who is my teacher!
There is some truth to this statement.
Xu Xin felt that he had made the right decision to come to the Wuliang Jade Cave to check in on a whim. This jade sculpture looks very pleasing to his eyes, and it will be his own from now on.
Xu Xin walked around the Wuliang Jade Cave and saw the futon that Duan Yu smashed with his head, and the bookshelf that Li Qingluo had emptied... At dusk, he felt a familiar breath and knew that Duan Yanqing had arrived.
…
Tianlong Temple is located to the north of Zhongyue Peak in Diancang Mountain outside Dali City. The official name of the temple is Chongsheng Temple, but the people of Dali are used to it and call it Tianlong Temple.
Tianlong Temple has Cangshan Mountain on its back and faces Ershui River, which is extremely advantageous.
Emperors of the Duan family often took refuge in becoming monks and became monks in Tianlong Temple. Therefore, Tianlong Temple is the family temple of the Dali royal family and is the most respected among all temples in the country.
The moon and stars are sparse, and outside Tianlong Temple, the bodhi leaves are falling.
A figure in a green robe flickered and came to the bodhi forest. His figure was like a ghost, and it was several feet long each time. When he fell for the last time, his figure gradually solidified, but he was a broken man with two sticks. This person is none other than Duan Yanqing, who is "full of evil".
"Your Majesty, you have followed me all the way, aren't you ready to come out?"
Duan Yanqing's voice rang out in the Bodhi Forest. His eyes scanned all directions, trying to find the source of his uneasiness.
"Prince Yanqing has a keen spiritual sense. There is something I don't understand. Why did you suddenly return to Dali and come to Tianlong Temple?"
Purple light instantly appeared in front of Duan Yanqing, and the cold wind picked up the bodhi leaves and fluttered. The moon is very round today, which reminds Duan Yanqing of that night.
"It turns out it's Gang Leader Xu, it's Duan Zhengchun. Did you ask you to come and kill me?"
Duan Yanqing's voice sounded again, and then he also answered Xu Xin's question.
"After I escaped that day, I suddenly felt uneasy one night, and found that Xixia Yipintang was contacting me, but my intuition was that I was in danger. There are my elders in Tianlong Temple, and my fight with Duan Zhengchun and Duan Zhengming was an internal fight. Here is me The safest place I can think of..."
"Is that so? Prince Yanqing's intuition is very accurate, but it's a pity that you have such a talent!"
Xu Xin looked at Duan Yanqing, who was physically disabled, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. This person was indeed one of the rare talents of the Duan family in Dali. He could practice martial arts even though his body was disabled, and he could rank among the best in the world. If your body is healthy, your achievements will be no less than those of the Four Heavenly Dragons.
"Your guess is good. Someone did ask me to kill you, but it wasn't Duan Zhengchun..."
As Xu Xin spoke, he thrust out his palm and just in time caught the steel staff that Duan Yanqing thrust out in advance. Duan Yanqing shook the steel staff decisively and abandoned the weapon. At the same time, he moved his body and wanted to escape towards Tianlong Temple.
"The great method of absorbing energy!"
Since Xu Xin had taken action this time, he was determined to kill Duan Yanqing. How could he let Duan Yanqing escape? A top-notch master was qualified to be buried under his power-absorbing technique and become nutrients.
"Ah..."
Duan Yanqing's body quickly turned back, his head was grasped by Xu Xin's hand, purple light wrapped around his body, and his spirit quickly flowed into Xu Xin's body.
"Duan Yanqing, do you still remember the one-night stand outside the Tianlong Temple? It was the root of your misfortune today."
"The woman on that day is the current Princess Zhennan. After that night, he became pregnant and gave birth to Duan Yu after ten months of pregnancy. If you were alive, this secret might be exposed, and Duan Yu would not be able to inherit the throne of Dali, so she must make you die..."
Xu Xin felt sorry for Duan Yanqing, so he told him everything through voice transmission. After all, he was a dead man, so it would be better for him to be relieved.
He was really a good person!
"She is... I understand..."
Duan Yanqing was trying his best to resist Xu Xin's energy-sucking technique, but when he heard the truth, he was shocked and stopped resisting, letting Xu Xin suck all his energy.
"You are also a pitiful person!"
Xu Xin finally retracted his hand and placed Duan Yanqing's skinny body under the Bodhi tree.
The moonlight was cold, and the Bodhi leaves fluttered. Duan Yanqing died outside the Tianlong Temple after all.
That year, he struggled to crawl outside the Tianlong Temple, waiting to die in despair. A "Bodhisattva" came and saved him, giving him the motivation to live and fight again.
And now, it is also that "Bodhisattva" who wants him to die, so he...can be regarded as paying it back!
The Bodhi leaves fall, and the song ends!
