Nine Heavens

Another night, the same full moon, but in a different location.

According to Xiaoyun's reminder, the cave finally appeared in front of Tan Jing. The entrance of the cave is very hidden, hidden behind a forest, the trees are not very dense, but it is impossible to see the entrance of the cave, especially at night. Thanks to her clairvoyance, Tan Jing was secretly happy and admired her specialty.

Walking lightly and step by step into the depths of the woods, the entrance of the cave suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. The entrance of the cave was very wide, and the inside seemed to be very bright. A gust of cold wind blew from the cave, and a chill instantly hit my whole body.

Liujuan looked at it for a while, and was very surprised. Didn't Xiaoyun say that someone was watching the entrance of the cave? Why didn't you see any of them? Tan Jing put on the padded robe that Xiaoyun reminded her to bring, looked up at the sky, and saw that the position of the moon was just before midnight, that is, when the cold wave of Qianhan Cave receded. hole without freezing to death. Looking back at the direction from which he came, he was sure that no one was following him.

She turned around and entered the entrance of the cave, and suddenly the cold air hit her, and Liu Juan shivered for a while.

Gritting her teeth, she strenuously walked into the cave for a while, her eyes widened suddenly, and she glanced around, Tan Jing found that there were countless icy things hanging down from the top of the cave, shining light continuously, so that the cave was as bright as day .

Directly ahead, there are three openings, the smallest in the middle, the largest on the left, and the center on the right. Although she was also full of curiosity about the other two cave entrances, Tan Jing still followed Xiaoyun's reminder and walked towards the middle cave entrance.

A strange cold rushed towards her face, Tan Jing couldn't help shivering, and sighed in her heart, what the hell is this place, why is it so cold. Ignoring these things, Tan Jing drilled in. The walls of the cave were covered with icicles, the cave was filled with cold smoke, and there were clusters of cold smoke and fog constantly rising and falling on the strange and terrifying ground. Fortunately, the cave is quite wide. Tan Jing looked intently, the cave was still deep, hiding from the ice, and after walking for a while, an extremely wide ice room appeared in front of her eyes.

The four walls of the ice room and the roof of the cave are inlaid with colorful jade, luminous pearls and so on. The whole cave is full of jewels, which is extremely strange. Countless ice beds appear and disappear from time to time amidst the ups and downs of cold smoke. On one of the ice beds, there is a piece of ice about two meters long, which is very crystal clear and red inside.

It's so beautiful, Tan Jing sighed, being in a foreign land, she forgot the fear before, and floated in front of this ice bed in a few steps. There are several ice steps under the ice bed, and cold smoke is curling up. Stepping up step by step, you can have a panoramic view of everything on the ice bed.

A young girl was sealed inside the ice cube, with a handsome but slightly distorted face, a few strands of hair slanted by her temples, and her eyes were closed tightly in pain. She is wearing a red dress, covering her graceful body, and a jade pendant around her waist is shining with green brilliance, which is extremely eye-catching. Four characters are engraved on the jade pendant: Mrs. Xiangzhu.

ah! Although she was mentally prepared, Tan Jing was still amazed. As Xiaoyun said, the person lying in front of her is the daughter of Longyun Villa. Mrs. Xiangzhu mentioned that piece of jade pendant. It was her family treasure. There were two pieces in total. The guests at home that day must have a quick look at it, but Mother only took out one piece, presuming that the other piece was unfortunately lost. I happened to be there at the time, and that person looked at me strangely, and my father and mother seemed to be in a panic. What's even more strange is that a few days later, it was heard that the man fell to the bottom of the cliff and died.

It is said that this jade pendant, worn on the body, will be invulnerable to all poisons, and will not be burned in the scorching sun. If it is worn on the body of the dead, the corpse will never rot. It's a rare baby.

Such a precious thing, if it doesn't have some origin, how can it be possessed casually. Now that Tan Jing is convinced of Xiaoyun's words, she really is not the daughter of Longyun Villa.

But who is he? Why did Tan Tianying and the real father-in-law lie to themselves to be Tan Jing's substitute? What is their purpose? And Long Yun Sixiang is also cooperating with them in acting? The five-volume book sage is no exception. This was terrible, for a while, Tan Jing felt as if she was in a fog, unable to figure out what to do.

What to do, knowing this, how to face Tan Tianying and Mrs. Xiangzhu in the future, and continue to be the eldest lady? I'm really afraid that I won't be able to pretend, but if I tell their lies, what does it mean to me? Will it kill someone to silence her... The more Tan Jing thought about it, the more afraid she became.

After some thinking, Tan Jing finally decided that since Tan Jing really couldn't wake up, let herself be Tan Jing for now.

Looking at the real Tan Jing in front of her, the fake Tan Jing said: "Sister Tan Jing, I didn't intend to offend you, but your relatives are deceiving you and me. Although I can't guess their intentions, I am sure, if I say this clearly, My situation will be very dangerous. So please forgive me, I will use your identity to exist, one day I will figure out my identity, and then I will apologize to you. And I promise you, I will find a way to wake you up again. " After speaking, he bowed deeply and floated out of the cave.

Leaving the cave, a gust of warm wind blows in the face, with the fragrance of flowers in the wind, and the occasional murmur of insects and birds. The full moon is in the sky, the stars are twinkling, the clouds and mountains in the distance are vast, and there are flowers and plants under the feet.

Stepping on the moonlight and rustling all the way, Tan Jing quickly walked the same way to the house, afraid that it would take a long time, and Long Yunsixiang would find that she was not on the bed.

Looking at the rope hanging from the big tree in the courtyard, and hearing that there was no movement in the courtyard, Tan Jing finally let go of her uneasy heart. Fortunately, the rope was there, which meant that no one found herself sneaking out in the middle of the night.

Holding the rope with both hands, just about to push upwards, a thin figure suddenly appeared in front of him, a familiar figure, this figure appeared like a ghost, without any sign. Standing quietly in front of Tan Jing, without saying a word.

After a while of astonishment, Tan Jing spoke first: "Are you Mr. Lin Yuan, the housekeeper?"

"That's right, it's right here!" Under the moonlight, under the cool breeze, these words also came, and then there was still silence.

Tan Jing is no longer cautious. Now that she has been discovered, why should she be cautious? It would be better to be open-minded, a majestic lady of the villa, would she be afraid of a housekeeper! Thinking of this, his voice became louder: "I don't know why Steward Lin is here after midnight!"

That thin figure floated a sentence: "You shouldn't go to that cave!"

Tan Jing trembled slightly, and said, "Are you following me?"

"Yes, I followed you, not only followed you, but now I want to kill you." The thin figure still said calmly, as if he hadn't said anything.

Surprised again, Tan Jing carefully examined the person in front of her, and looked at herself contemptuously. It was this contemptuous gaze that reminded herself of him. I remember that when the family was enjoying the flowers under the moon, a thin figure came to report the matter. That's when he glanced at himself with the same contempt in his eyes, so that he couldn't forget that feeling.

"Why did you kill me? Is it because I found out that I'm not Tan Jing?"

"You are very smart!"

"Forget it, since you want to kill me. Regarding a person who is going to die, I would like to ask you a few questions, is it okay?"

"Please."

"who I am?"

"You are Liu Juan, the daughter of Liuhe Dong in Qingshi Villa."

"You mean that I'm from the Qingshi Villa that died a while ago, and my father's name is Liuhe East."

"That's right. Your father's name is Liuhe Dong, your mother's name is Fengyue'er, and your younger brother's name is Liu Qianlang. Unfortunately, just the day before Qingshi Villa was destroyed, your family and more than a thousand people were driven out by several noble elders. I left the villa, but I don’t know where to go.”

"Then why did I become Tan Jing?"

"This, I'm sorry I don't know."

"Okay, let me ask you last, why did Tan Tianying and the father-in-law ask me to be Tan Jing's substitute?"

"It's really simple. It's true that Tan Jing is dead, but the owner needs a princess daughter to marry Qingliu Kingdom, and you are naturally beautiful, so you happen to be the best candidate."

"So, if you kill me, will Tan Tianying agree?"

"This is my business, it has nothing to do with you. You have asked enough, prepare to die!"
