Lost Narrative Poetry

It's night, the moon is bright, the stars are few, and everything is silent.

Chenzhou City also fell into groggy darkness, falling asleep in the night that shrouded the entire earth, giving it a quiet and peaceful scene.

The three of them from Yuntianhe were accompanied by a beautiful woman named Qin Ji. After helping her worship her late husband in the Thousand Buddha Pagoda, they came down directly from the Pagoda, left the Thousand Buddha Temple, and rowed from the island in the middle of the lake back to the lakeside. In the city opposite.

The atmosphere along the way was somewhat dull, and Han Lingsha had always been fighting for Qin Ji.

Because she likes this straightforward heroine very much, and feels that she has a lot in common with her, so she naturally feels unworthy of him——

This chivalrous woman has a bold and outspoken personality. After falling in love with her husband, she married into the Qin family. Although she can endure the disgust and grievances from her parents-in-law, she is also prone to impulsive outbursts because of her youth and vigour. She also has a decisive side in her personality. In a fit of anger, Leave the book behind and run away.

She ran away from home and visited famous mountains and rivers to practice swordsmanship, and lived a happy life. However, after her swordsmanship improved a lot, she often missed and even worried about her husband who was in poor health. She found many reasons for herself and made up her mind to return to Chenzhou.

But after returning, Qinji discovered that her husband's health had gotten worse and worse after she left. When she came back, he had been dead for several months. She was devastated by this and swore never to use her martial arts again.

Later, Qin Ji wanted to pay homage to her late husband, but she didn't know where the Qin family buried Qin Yi. She only knew that his tablet was placed in the Thousand Buddha Pagoda. She wanted to enter the pagoda to worship, but the monks of the Thousand Buddha Pagoda refused to let her enter. It seemed that the Qin family had specifically informed them and deliberately blocked Qin Ji.

In addition, she had just vowed not to use martial arts again, so this woman could only play the piano on the streets of Chenzhou, hoping to achieve her wish with the help of others...

It was only today that Yun Tianhe and the other two people, who learned about the various entanglements between her and the Qin family, helped her enter the pagoda at night to pay homage to her late husband.

However, her deceased husband's new concubine, a woman named Jiang, was also at the top of the tower, guarding in front of the spirit tablet, speaking harshly and reprimanding her in every possible way. After Qin Ji begged, although she agreed to let the latter Worship, but the condition is that you must leave Chenzhou immediately after the worship and are never allowed to come back.

Although Qinji agreed, Han Lingsha was furious. If everyone hadn't stopped her, she could hardly have resisted going up and tearing the woman's vicious mouth apart.

——This is why the current atmosphere is so dull.

Qin Ji herself didn't take it seriously. Instead, she comforted a few people with gentle words, saying that she actually didn't blame Mrs. Jiang. If the other party could really let her late husband live out his last days happily, then she would only be grateful in her heart.

As for leaving Chenzhou and never being allowed to come back... this actually doesn't matter. She originally wanted to die in order to find relief, but she felt unworthy of her husband, so she hoped to fulfill her last wish and collect the remaining music scores of the past dynasties.

She originally wanted to disappear from Chenzhou and wander around the world from now on. Whether she comes back or not is not important anymore.

According to the previous agreement, the woman played and sang a final song for the three of them in the woods on the shore of the lake. It was as tender as water, heartless and heartbreaking. The lingering sound lingered in the ears and spread out in this silent night. Very far away.

But until the song ended, no one came to check and disturb.

Maybe the officers and soldiers patrolling at night also felt terrified? After all, I followed the sound all the way to the quiet woods by the lake, and heard the ethereal music and the woman's resentful singing coming from it...

Everyone was so scared that their legs were weak, even if they drank a few taels of cat urine, they would wake up in a hurry. How could they have the courage to go into the deep, dark woods at night to arrest someone who might have violated the curfew?

——And it’s hard to say whether it’s human or not.

"..."

"..."

When the last trembling sound disappeared in the air, the woods near the lake returned to silence.

Qin Ji, who was playing and singing, had a sad face, and the three people in the audience had their own thoughts. Even Yuntianhe was unusually quiet and didn't know what they were thinking.

Bang bang bang... At this moment, the sound of applause suddenly sounded, breaking the silence.

"It's...it's...it sounds really good!"

A somewhat rough man's voice sounded, but he was obviously holding it back again and again. In the end, he still couldn't think of any good words to praise, so he could only say this simply and straightforwardly.

If you are uneducated, you can only say fuck...that's probably what it means.

A few people were not surprised because they had already sensed the approach of the person coming.

"It turns out to be Master Yuanshan..." Han Lingsha turned around and spoke in a longer tone. She could clearly see who the person was, but her voice still seemed dissatisfied. "Now that I'm here suddenly, I've thought carefully about it and prepared for it." Help us?"

With bulging muscles and a height of nearly two meters, with the precious cassock draped around him, he didn't look like a senior monk at all, but more like an uncle of a warrior monk. Naturally, he was the contemporary abbot of Thousand Buddha Temple whom he had just met before - Master Yuanshan.

I originally thought that it would be a simple matter to enter the Thousand Buddha Pagoda to worship. After all, we all have a little friendship with each other, and it would be enough to just say something.

In the end, they didn't expect that the other party just said that they would think about it, but did not give an answer at all, so they could only accompany Qin Ji to sneak into the Thousand Buddha Pagoda tonight in the dead of night.

"Donor Han, the poor monk has no choice but to do so. After all, the Qin family has always made donations in the temple and is generous. They even donated money to build the Thousand Buddha Pagoda. They also have a good relationship with the poor monk's master. …”

Monk Yuanshan sighed and explained directly.

But what he said made people raise eyebrows. Except for Yun Tianhe, who didn't know why, the other three people all had strange expressions.

In fact, monks are inevitably secular. Besides, there are so many monks in Qianfo Temple who also need to eat and drink. In the face of big benefactors like the Qin family who have always supported Qianfo Temple and contributed money and efforts, they cannot accept other people's small requests. Neither agreed.

This is also the reason why Qinji cannot enter the Thousand Buddha Pagoda and is always blocked. The monk guarding the gate will not let her in. Although the distant mountain monk also knows about this, he is also inevitably tied up and cannot say anything.

However, the truth is indeed such a truth, but is it a bit bad to say it so carelessly? Fortunately, several people were sensible and felt that this great monk was quite honest.

"Okay, Miss Han, Master Abbot knew that we were going to enter the Thousand Buddha Pagoda, but he didn't say anything and didn't come out to stop us tonight. This already makes me very grateful..."

Qinji also quickly came out to smooth things over at this time, and her words were indeed sincere. She wanted to go in several times before, but was stopped all the time. She also met this monk several times... ahem, this eminent monk, although she never got her wish.

But she also knew the other party's difficulties. It could be said that the fact that the other party chose not to do anything tonight was already a great help.

Han Lingsha sighed. She naturally knew this kind of thing, but just when she was about to say something——

Two dazzling sword lights suddenly fell from the sky, landed not far away, and transformed into a young man and a petite girl.

"It turns out it's you guys, we meet again..."

After seeing everyone at the illegal gathering and discovering several familiar figures among them, the young man immediately breathed a sigh of relief and took the lead in saluting with his hands in hand and speaking in a gentle tone.

"Why are you guys..." The petite girl was quite dissatisfied. She pouted and said in a mixture of disappointment and annoyance, "Staying up most of the night and playing the piano here... Senior Brother Huaishuo and I thought it was... It’s haunted.”

Huh? These two people really haven't left yet and are still staying here in Chenzhou?

It sounded like Qin Ji's playing had caused them to misunderstand something. They thought something dirty had appeared, and they rushed over to deal with it?

In just a moment, Han Lingsha's thoughts changed quickly and she understood the general idea. However, while she was surprised and happy in her heart, she did not show it on her face. Instead, she said with a smile: "It turns out it's you two. , we are really destined..."

Yun Tianhe and Liu Mengli have met before, so there is nothing surprising now.

Qin Ji next to her was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled bitterly and sighed, having no more ideas.

If it were her in the past, she would have longed for the masters and knights in the world, and she would probably have been obsessed with the art of swordsmanship, and it would have been hard to make a choice, right? But now she has given up on these things and has made up her mind to spend the rest of her life doing only one thing.

Monk Yuanshan was also slightly startled, and subconsciously chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice. Strictly speaking, this seemed to be his first formal close contact with the advanced cultivation system of this world?

Not counting the one who caught a glimpse of him before in Chao Lake, he was simply a type of immortal, Buddha, and evil spirit. A single long hair could move mountains and roll back rivers. Even according to his judgment, he would have escaped long ago. Without understanding the public ecology of the spiritual world, it is difficult to represent anything...

Besides, it wasn't really any contact at that time. It felt like a powerful person was passing by and saved a lot of people, so it didn't have much reference value.

"Okay, okay, senior brother, since this place is not haunted, let's not waste time with them..."

Xuanji stamped her feet in annoyance. She didn't seem to want to be so destined to this group of people, so she turned her head and said to Huaishuo urgently -

"Why don't we take advantage of the good night and go to Ouyang Mansion to investigate first. As long as we can find evidence, the young senior sister can't say anything to us..."

"this……"

Huaishuo couldn't help but frown slightly and seemed a little hesitant. Is this approach a bit rash? However, those people in Ouyang Mansion are indeed zombies, this can be confirmed.

And if nothing is done, it will be difficult to determine what they are doing and what kind of conspiracy is brewing behind them. After all, if you do not go deep into the enemy's hinterland to conduct investigations, the enemy will not be stupid enough to send clues to you. .

"Excuse me, has something happened? Do you need our help?" The girl in red was thinking quickly and asked hurriedly, trying to seize the opportunity.

No wonder these two people are still staying in Chenzhou. It turns out they discovered something suspicious and are they investigating it? But no matter what, this is a great opportunity to get close.

"How can you help? This kind of thing is very dangerous. There are people in that place who are extracting people's souls and practicing ghost techniques..." Xuanji wrinkled her nose and snorted, but there was no malice, she was just a spoiled little girl Girl's character.

"Extracting people's souls? Practicing ghost skills?" Han Lingsha changed her color slightly. Why have she encountered all these evil things in the past few days? She subconsciously thought of the Huainan Royal Tombs, which had undergone a change in feng shui, and wondered if there was any connection between them.

"If this is really the case, then we cannot ignore it..."

Liu Mengli also said softly, her eyes moving, looking thoughtful.

"This girl doesn't know something. We just discovered a place outside Chenzhou City not long ago. Someone specifically destroyed the Feng Shui there, causing a large number of evil spirits to escape. I wonder if there is any connection between them?"

"Huh?" Xuanji was stunned at first, and then subconsciously looked at Huaishuo.

They didn't know if this was a connection, a coincidence or something else, but when they heard the news at this time, they naturally felt that it was probably the same thing.

——Perhaps there are really people here in Chenzhou who are refining souls and trying to do things that are harmful to nature.

"Ouyang Mansion?"

The great monk from Yuanshan spoke at the right time, deliberately slowing down his tone to make his voice sound dignified, giving people a sense of stability and reliability, "Are you talking about the Ouyang family in Chenzhou?"

But it’s really effective——

"We are actually not sure about this master. After all, we are not locals in Chenzhou. We only know that Ouyang Mansion is opposite Xiange Terrace, just across the lake. It is a very large mansion..."

Regarding this great monk who seemed to have no spiritual power, but always felt like an expert, Huaishuo did not dare to neglect and saluted.

"That is the Ouyang family... There are definitely many people named Ouyang in Chenzhou, but there is only one Ouyang family. It is even worse than the Qin family, which has a big business. It can be said that it is second to none in the local area..."

The great monk from Yuanshan said slowly, with a slightly strange expression.

"As far as the poor monk knows, an accident occurred in the Ouyang family nine years ago. The head of the family at that time died suddenly overnight. It is said that the body was covered with poisonous insects, and the daughter of the Ouyang family also lost her spirit. God, I suddenly recovered later..."

Then there were some bizarre developments——

After the old lady couldn't bear the blow and passed away half a year later, many people naturally focused on the Ouyang family, which had only one girl left. According to the situation at that time, the Ouyang family was bound to be annexed, and the daughter was the best. The result is to marry the son of a certain family.

However, the rich lady managed to reorganize all the family business easily, so that the Ouyang family did not decline at all, but prospered... But the strange thing is that the rich lady stayed behind closed doors during this period, until now Nine years.

Various versions of bizarre claims are naturally in the air and appear constantly.

Some say that Miss Ouyang killed her parents, while others say that Miss Ouyang is ruthless. She directed and acted by herself and killed everyone in the family. She has been able to control all the family business without leaving the house all these years. What evil method was used...

"..."

"..."

As the great monk explained, everyone fell silent, and there was only the sound of insects chirping in the summer night.

It seems...very suspicious!
