Too Reckless

Vol 2 Chapter 51: Heaven and earth are ruthless

thunderbolt

Thunderclouds rolled over the countryside of the county town, and under the vastness of the sky, birds, beasts, insects and snakes all huddled in their nests, daring to look up.

There are only nine thunder tribulations, and they come and go quickly.

After the nine thunders passed, the gloomy sea of ​​clouds dissipated, revealing the full moon and stars in the sky.

However, the magic circle outside the ancestral hall did not disappear.

Zuo Lingquan was lying in the center of the circle, his eyes closed tightly, his body was wrapped in black and red clouds.

The light in the black carp's eyes has dissipated, and it has turned into dried fish.

Jiang Yi stood on the sidelines with a pale face. She wanted to speak but didn't dare to make a sound.

"Empress Dowager, he... how is he?"

"The foundation is very solid, this kind of small thunder can't hurt him."

Shangguan Lingye's expression was indifferent, and with the sound of "boom" raised his fair-skinned right hand, a circular earth wall rose around the circle, which turned into a semi-circular shield, wrapping the entire circle.

"Let's go, within ten days and a half months, his physique will be difficult to stabilize and he won't be able to wake up."

Shangguan Lingye lifted his feet off the ground to ride the wind, and flew Jiang Yi to the outside of the villa.

Jiang Yi suddenly flew up and was startled. After looking back a few times, she turned her eyes to the villa under her feet.

After some fighting, the buildings around the lotus pond were in a mess.

Tang Hong was out of breath, lying in the mud like a dead dog, dragging out a blood-stained groove behind him.

Among the broken walls, Song Chi rolled up his sleeves, turned over the wooden beams and tiles in the ruins, and looked for the traces of the two apprentices.

Seeing two people flying over, Song Chi raised his head in confusion.

Shangguan Lingye was suspended in the air, waved his hand slightly, and the broken wood and rubble on the ground moved away on his own, and the two apprentices who were pressed down showed their figures.

The wooden house is not heavy, and the two apprentices are not the target of the attack. Although they were injured and fainted due to poisoning, they have not died.

Shangguan Lingye spilled a blue streamer on the two of them, and the expressions of the two apprentices gradually returned to normal.

Song Chi has seen too many miracles today, and he has been honed over the years, and he is not as surprised as young people. Seeing this, he bowed his hands:

"Thank you girl for your help."

For this very disrespectful title, Shangguan Lingye just reminded me plainly:

"In the future, if you meet people on the practice path, you can't see the depth, and they will always be called 'Xianchang'."

Jiang Yi knew that Song Chi was more than 40 years younger than the imperial concubine, and was called 'grandma' according to her age. In terms of morality, Song Chi could not even be considered a stinky child.

Seeing Song Chi calling her "girl", Jiang Yi hurriedly said:

"This is the imperial concubine of the imperial court. When today's children have to be called 'grandmother' according to their seniority, Song Lao should not shout."

Song Chi had already heard of the "Second Sage" of the imperial court. He thought it was an old birthday star with white hair. He was slightly startled when he heard this, and quickly bowed his hands:

"Um... Caomin Song Chi, meet the empress of the imperial concubine."

Shangguan Lingye flipped his wrist lightly, took out a sign of Iron Arrow House, and threw it to Song Chi:

"Your boxing skills are good, and your accomplishments are rare within the nine sects. Although it is not like Zuo Lingquan's 'frightened by ghosts and ghosts', but you can practice it to this level with the body of a mortal, it means that you have found the way, and then settle down. For a hundred years, it is not impossible to take one's own martial arts to the extreme."

"Niangniang said that Caomin's boxing skills have to be honed for more than a hundred years before they can be mastered?"

"I don't know how to box, but the peak martial artist, before he makes a move, can shock the world with his aura. You are far behind."

Hearing that there is still room for improvement, Song Chi was quite happy, and flipped through the sign;

"This brand is..."

"From now on, you will be a disciple of the Iron Arrow Mansion. After you go back to say goodbye to your relatives, go to Linyuan City, and someone will take you into the master's door."

Song Chi knew about the nine sects, but he didn't know the specifics. However, when the imperial concubine of the Dayan Dynasty spoke, there was no reason to deceive him as a martial artist. At the moment, it is still a salute:

"Then I'd like to thank my niece. I don't have any nostalgia for it. I'll go back to Linyuan City to have a look at the funeral arrangements."

Shangguan Lingye didn't say any more, turned around and took Jiang Yi up in the wind, heading towards the mountains in the southeast.

Jiang Yipiao was moving fast in the air, and the mountains and fields under her feet receded like a horse looking at flowers. She was still a little nervous, and looked back at the villa:

"Empress Dowager, where are we going? Zuo Lingquan, he..."

Shangguan Lingye's clothes were fluttering, and he flew over the deep mountains and jungles. He did not explain Jiang Yi's question, but said:

"As a princess of a country, you are very good at chasing beasts and investigating cases."

Jiang Yi held the white dumplings looking around and smiled modestly:

"Before in Dadan, I was in charge of the arresting department, like the mother-in-law. The arresting department borrowed from Dayan's demon arresting department, but we don't have monsters there, only ordinary beasts. I've seen it a lot, and I've remembered something. ."

"You are very interested in this line of work."

"Why would you be interested in this kind of thing? The more yamen cases, the more people are mutilated by beasts. I'd rather have nothing to do."

Shangguan Lingye nodded slightly, turned his head to look at it, thought the dumpling was very beautiful, raised his hand to take it, and rubbed it like a cat.

The dumplings were a little conflicted at first, but after Shangguan Lingye took out a small dried fish, he immediately became obedient, and even made two "jiji" sounds, as if he had a grandmother as a mother.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yi glared at Tuanzi quietly, and then said:

"I heard Zuo Lingquan say that there is a white cat in the imperial concubine's palace. Niangniang likes to keep these birds and beasts on weekdays?"

Shangguan Lingye has no friends, no daoist, and he can't practice in the deep palace. He doesn't even need to eat or sleep. He has nothing but official business.

However, Shangguan Lingye wouldn't tell a girl who was more than 80 years younger than her, she just smiled lightly:

"Just keep it as a company. Is this bird Tang Jingxing?"

"Uh……"

Jiang Yixing blinked, a little surprised:

"My lady even knows this."

"You live outside the palace wall, you know it." Shangguan Lingye turned the dumpling over, scratched the white fluff on his chest, and asked, "What is the relationship between Tang Jingxuan and Zuo Lingquan?"

Jiang Yi didn't expect Shangguan Lingye to ask this, her expression was a little embarrassed, she hesitated, and then replied:

"Well...it's the side room of my family, it's commensurate with my sister, and calls me sister."

"grumble?"

Side room...

Shangguan Lingye's eyes turned slightly, and he wanted to take a side attack to inquire about the relationship between the ancestor and Zuo Lingquan, but this kind of thing, the ancestor should not make Jiang Yi know, she thought about it or not.

During the chat, the two flew over dozens of miles of mountains and came to the top of the mountain temple in Dahuangling.

Jiang Yi was not sure whether Xu Mo left or not, but with the concubine Dayan, she was not cowardly, just curiously asked:

"What are we doing here?"

"There is no one from the Monster Hunting Division nearby. Anyway, we have to stay for a few more days and close this case."

After Shangguan Lingye finished speaking, he hung above the mountain, but he didn't see how to move, and the ground below separated from left to right, revealing a hole and a pool of water.

Xu Mo's ritual has been completed, the original secluded green pond water is a bit clear, and there is no more gloomy feeling in the cave; countless skeletons still lie at the bottom of the pond, Xu Mo just sealed the original hole.

Shangguan Lingye raised his hand and waved lightly, and the countless broken bones that were lying on the bottom of the pool floated up, and returned to their respective positions to form a complete skeleton.

Regarding Shangguan Lingye's actions, Jiang Yi understands that the official family's handling of the case is not just about killing the murderer, but also counting the exact victims to avoid other disappearances, murders being mixed into one case, and the delivery of remains to family members, etc. Wait.

Like the bones in the pool, if they were handed over to the county magistrates, they would probably not be able to fight together in this life. It would save a lot of trouble to have the masters of the Xian family here.

Jiang Yi took a look and asked:

"The skeletons have been sorted out, but they are all bones. How can I identify the corpse?"

"There are no two identical people in the world. Between blood relatives, one can judge their identities by their bones, blood, hair, and even the clothes they wear; the Monster Hunting Division has a special work in charge of this matter, and they are already on their way to Zezhou. "

The skill level of the Great Dan Dynasty was not so developed, and Jiang Yi was not easy to answer, so he could only nod his head in a vague way, making the appearance of "that's it".

Because he couldn't understand these magical powers, Jiang Yi turned his attention to Shangguan Lingye again.

Shangguan Lingye hovered quietly, rubbing the little bird dumplings in his hands, as if she was just a beautiful woman in the palace who teased her pets. She didn't even put her eyes into the pool, so she couldn't tell she was using her supernatural powers.

Jiang Yi saw the appearance of Wu Qingwan and Zuo Lingquan casting their spells, thought about it and said curiously:

"Empress Dowager, do you not need to slap tricks when an expert casts spells?"

"Masters need it, I don't need it."

"..."

Jiang Yi blinked her eyes like apricots, feeling that this sentence is very domineering.

But she is just a little chick in the Qi refining stage, and she is really embarrassed to discuss this with the serious fairy, and she can only nod her head with a vague understanding.

Back at Dahuangling, Jiang Yi remembered about the magic sword, aimed at the nine swords inserted in the hole, and wanted to get it, but she was floating in the sky and couldn't get down at all.

Shangguan Lingye eavesdropped on the conversation between the two on the boat. At this time, he saw what Jiang Yi meant. He raised his finger and hooked. Bitan Villa shot away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yi has seen too much immortality today, and she doesn't know how to evaluate it. There is only the sigh of "the big girl should be like this" in her eyes.

After Shangguan Lingye sorted out all the skeletons, they neatly placed them on the open space outside the mountain temple, and then flew to the county seat outside the mountain.

It was already early morning, every household in the county was closed, and half of the pedestrians could not be seen on the street.

Shangguan Lingye did not go to the county office, but came to the house near the inn.

Jiang Yi recognized that this was Aunt Li's home. She learned that Li Gui was transformed by Aunt Li's son, and she was worried about it. As Shangguan Lingye fell into the yard, she glanced at it and didn't see it. Aunt Li's trace, but faintly smelled the fragrance of rice.

Jiang Yi was a little puzzled, and followed the smell and walked to the kitchen stove next to it.

I lifted the lid of the pot and looked at it. There was a bowl of rice and a plate of vegetables simmering in the iron pot. I thought it was reserved for my son who went to the mountain to chop firewood. After a busy day on the mountain, it was impossible to come back without food.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yi was stunned, and she didn't know what to say.

Shangguan Lingye may have seen too much life and death, his expression was very dull, and he turned to the room with the door open next to him.

The house is very simple, but it is also very clean. The old woman with a wrinkled face, leaning on the head of the bed alone, holding a needle and thread in her hand, has fallen asleep.

Next to the bed was a thick pile of soles and half-sewn clothes.

It's a pity that these clothes and shoes are destined to be impossible to wear on my son again.

Jiang Yi pursed her lips, feeling mixed feelings in her heart.

After Shangguan Lingye glanced at it, he stood by the bed, raised his slender hand, and a faint stream of light emerged from his fingers and merged into the old woman's forehead.

Jiang Yi didn't know why, and asked in a low voice:

"Senior, are you?"

"Her son is dead, and her heart is difficult to solve. Help her forget about this son and live more comfortably."

Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, pondered a little, and quickly raised her hand, holding Shangguan Lingye's hand:

"etc."

Shangguan Lingye stopped and turned his head:

"What's up?"

Jiang Yi looked at the white-haired old woman and hesitated:

"Senior, she has only one son. Even if she dies, she is still her son. If you let her forget, how will she live in the future?"

Shangguan Lingye frowned slightly, not understanding what he said:

"Remembering this, life is better than death. After forgetting, she doesn't remember that she has a son and has no heart, why can't she live?"

Jiang Yi knew that Shangguan Lingye's words made sense, but it was difficult to accept it.

No parent in the world can bear the pain of losing a child. But after losing a child, let parents choose to forget their dead son to get relief. I am afraid that no parent will be willing to do this. This is to let their son die again.

"It's definitely not possible to forget. Aunt Li became like this for her son. If she forgets her son, what is left of her? She doesn't even have anyone she misses..."

"Her son is dead, there is no benefit in missing her, and she will even live a few years less. No matter what she thinks, it's better to forget it."

Jiang Yi opened her mouth, but hesitated, not knowing how to discuss this with Shangguan Lingye.

Shangguan Lingye's approach is definitely right, but in Jiang Yi's view, it is completely 'the superiors stand at a high place and make the most reasonable arrangements for the people below according to their own ideas'. I didn't take into account the emotional factors of the following people.

This is like Jiang Yi, who is the regent princess herself, sees a woman with excellent virtue who is widowed and lonely, so she marries the woman to a man of good character, so that she can rely on for the rest of her life.

This seems to her to be a very reasonable arrangement, but the parties may not be happy about it, and it may even be counterproductive; so even if it is a kind help, the other party must be willing to accept it.

Jiang Yi thought for a while and said, "The relationship between mother and son cannot be decided by outsiders. To forget, at least Aunt Li must agree."

Shangguan Lingye shook his head: "She definitely won't agree."? ?

Jiang Yi was taken aback: "Since the senior knows that she will not agree, how can she make her own decision to let her forget her son?"

"..."

Shangguan Lingye was silent for a while, maybe he also found this approach inappropriate, and said:

"I just think it's best for her. What do you think is appropriate? She's really no different from the living dead now."

Jiang Yi looked at the old woman on the sickbed and thought about it:

"Definitely can't just forget it. Well... Mothers all want their sons to live well, or seniors have a dream and tell her that her son was reincarnated as a high-ranking official, and she married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a son, let her Don't worry about it...I feel like this is more appropriate."

Shangguan Lingye thought for a while, then nodded slowly, a light streamer emerged from his fingertips and landed on the old woman's eyebrows.

Jiang Yi stood by and watched.

But after a while, the sleeping old woman could see that her eyes were shaking, and she must be dreaming.

The corners of those folded eyes suddenly rolled out tears, his lips twitched a few times, and he made a little noise.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Shangguan Lingye looked at it quietly, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, turned around and walked out of the house, and said:

"I don't know if her son is reincarnated or not. There seems to be little difference between lying to her and letting her forget."

Jiang Yi followed behind and walked out of the door, followed Shangguan Lingye's wind, and said seriously:

"There is still a difference, at least there is someone who can talk about it..."

"It's hard for mortals to say, but it's not a good thing to have too much concern for one practice."

"I'm still an ordinary person, so I don't know the truth of cultivation. However, I think, if people don't care about it, wouldn't it be meaningless to live?"

"Cultivation should be mindful without distractions, it's not a good thing to have no worries, why don't you talk about it?"

"Well... just like me and Zuo Lingquan. If I become a fairy, and Zuo Lingquan doesn't, we spend our whole life with each other. After a hundred years, he dies, and I continue to practice. Even if I live for another hundred years and a thousand years, what can I do? It will be uncomfortable for as long as it takes, it's better to die together."

Shangguan Lingye frowned slightly, shook his head and said:

"You don't want to grow up with this kind of thinking."

Jiang Yi didn't care much, and smiled:

"If you don't want to grow up, at least don't waste your life. As long as you have no regrets in this life, it seems that there is no difference between living a hundred years and ten thousand years."

"..."

Shangguan Lingye pondered for a while, and actually felt that this was very reasonable.

However, 'longevity' represents immortality and immortality, so the interpretation of 'no regrets in this life' is still a bit meaningless.

She turned to look at Jiang Yi and said again:

"Judging from the current situation, Zuo Lingquan is bound to become an immortal, but you can't. In a hundred years, do you think he will be like you and go to Huangquan with you?"

Jiang Yi's expression froze when she heard "I can't become a fairy." She put away her smile, thought for a moment, and shook her head:

"He shouldn't. He has other concerns. If he can't die, he won't die. But if I die, he shouldn't live happily either."

"It is often said in the world that there are three major joys in life, promotion and fortune, death of the original spouse, how do you know that he will not be happy?"? !

Jiang Yi blinked, and after holding it for a long time, she said softly:

"Niang Niang, you don't seem to be very good at chatting."

Shangguan Lingye smiled: "I'm just making an assumption, don't take it seriously; it's easy for you to become a fairy."

"Haha... Actually, Zuo Lingquan and I talked about this before."

"What did Zuo Lingquan say?"

"He said, if he became an immortal and I was lying on the sickbed, he would definitely come back to see me, and then say something... Goddess, what do you think he would say?"

Shangguan Lingye was silent for a while, obviously thinking seriously, after a long time, he shook his head and said:

"I haven't been through that, I don't know...but from my point of view, it's like saying 'I'm sorry' or something. What did he say?"

Jiang Yi shrugged her shoulders, and said in a timid tone, "He said, 'You're going to die soon, and I can live for many more years. Are you angry?'" Then she laughed slyly. With a sound, his shoulders trembled slightly.

(→_→)? ?

Shangguan Lingye was inexplicable~www.wuxiaspot.com~ looked at Jiang Yi with the eyes of a silly girl:

"dare you laugh?"

Jiang Yi's smile condensed, she felt that she was a little bit like that, and said with a light cough:

"Well... just say it casually, it's not true, he really dares to do that, I have to get up and beat him out of anger."

"He has become an immortal. What would you do if he said, 'Eh~ I can't fight, are you angry?'"

"..."
