Chapter 48

Liu Yingzhong's face was pale, and he was too vain.

He vomited again, until his stomach was completely empty, leaving only yellow water, and then he responded weakly,
"Thank you, thank you for saving my life."

Qing Kuo withdrew her gaze in disgust, and pinched Lian Xueyin's waist, "Why doesn't my husband leave a living? These people are clearly aiming to kill him. There is no law in broad daylight!"

"What the lady said is very true."

Lian Xueyin replied, then looked down at her,

"Madam, do you know where this is?"

Aoba: "..."

The words in his mouth were all stuck in his throat.

This is the painting boat of the brothel.

It seemed a little inappropriate for her to sneak out like this, without saying hello to him, and going to the brothel.

And with him around, it's not easy for Qing Chuan to ask Liu Ying Zhong any more.

She waved her hand at Liu Yingzhong, "Young Master Liu, take care, let's talk another day!"

Then he pulled away Lian Xueyin's hand, and without looking back, he easily jumped onto the small boat that Lian Xueyin had brought, and got in.

Lian Xueyin glanced at Liu Yingzhong, turned around and followed.

Liu Yingzhong gave an order to the people who were vomiting one after another at the door of the painting boat weakly, "Let the boatmen dock, go, go and report to the officials."

He doesn't know martial arts, if the group of people came for him just now, they must have followed him all the way.

I deliberately found such a slightly secluded place to start.

He used to drink on the boat, and he often drank late into the night without knowing who was in charge, so he was easy to place orders. Those people probably were looking for him to place orders, so when they saw him chatting with people on the deck, others got his orders not to Come out and disturb.

If it weren't for the girl just now, he might have died by now.

Even died directly in the water, no one knew.

Such a vicious method.

He doesn't have any enemies. Now that he has passed the imperial examination, he can only stay in his hometown and be a prodigal son. Who else wants to kill him?
And who was that girl just now?

She asked him a lot of news, and he said a few words, but he didn't even know her last name.

Her surname is Chen, most likely she just said it casually, or borrowed Brother Chen's surname.

Liu Yingzhong was a little annoyed, seeing that no one dared to come to help him, so he could only close his eyes and tremblingly jumped towards the door of the painting boat with shaking legs.

On the other side, Lian Xueyin followed Qingqian into the cabin of the small painting boat, saw that Qingqian was already leaning against the small table and poured wine for herself, walked over and sat down beside her, "I will pick two people for you, next time I go out, I will take them with you." Let people go."

He didn't even ask her what she was doing in the brothel.

Qing Kuo looked away guiltily, and muttered softly, "If I wasn't afraid of being exposed, those people wouldn't be able to beat me."

Her spell is now also a three-legged cat.

But the spell of the three-legged cat is enough to deal with ordinary martial arts masters.

She is not a real dish.

It was Lian Xueyin who finally gave her a little understanding of a tyrant.

Look at the violence of his shots.

She suspected that Liu Yingzhong would not be able to eat for three days.

And she didn't even see how he did it.

This legendary tyrant through the ages, who is said to be capable of fighting thousands of troops with one person, couldn't be... also a practitioner, right?

Unless one's inner strength and mind skills have been trained to the so-called master level, which is comparable to the strength of cultivating immortals and building foundations, otherwise they will never reach the level that one person can be worth ten thousand troops.

But there are very few martial arts masters in the entire Silingzhou Grandmaster Realm, and anyone who has connections and spiritual roots has already gone to find the fairy fate.

No matter whether it is to cross the sea of ​​innocence or cross Mount Sumeru, it is a narrow escape.

"Your Majesty..." Qingzhi shouted accustomed to His Majesty, opened his mouth and hurriedly changed his mouth, "Husband, are you very good at martial arts? Or do you actually have spiritual roots and are self-taught? Can I... give you a pulse?"

Lian Xueyin didn't answer her question, but just handed her his hand.

Qing Kuo held that extremely beautiful hand with well-defined joints and slender fingers, feeling like a perfect work of art created by the heavens.

She squeezed his fingers, and then slowly caught his pulse.

To her surprise, his pulse was very normal, strong and powerful, and he didn't feel any abnormalities in his internal organs. A healthy person is completely an upright young man.

So what's wrong with him?

She thought that even if her medical skills were not as good as Daoist Yuan He's, she had already graduated.

His pulse does not seem to be poisoned.

Isn't this not sick at all?
Suspiciously, Qing Kuo carefully felt his pulse again, and even used spiritual power to test him to see if there was any hidden disease in him, and it turned out that everything was normal.

She looked up at Lian Xueyin in confusion: "Husband, your body..."

"Ok?"

Lian Xueyin met her eyes, as if asking what was wrong with her.

Aoba wanted to say, I don't think you're sick.

You are in great shape.

But how can a person who is completely healthy die after a year.

Is it really destiny?

The destiny cannot be violated?
Just like Qi Wan back then, the master's divination seemed to be a dead end.

No solution.

So obviously the person she could call for help was close at hand, but she still missed it.

Is this the so-called destiny?
Qing Kuo felt a little complicated.

He let go of Lian Xueyin's hand, poured himself a glass of wine in a disguised manner, and said, "It's okay."

At this time, the boatman who was punting the boat yelled at the cabin: "You two guests, you can't go forward. Do you want to dock or go back the same way?"

Qingqian got up from the table and said to Lian Xueyin, "I'll go out and have a look, my husband will wait for me for a while."

She walked out of the cabin, looked along the river, and saw a faint bridge in front of her, and the river was still very long, so she asked curiously,
"Why can't I go? Is there any problem behind the bridge?"

"The guest officer is from out of town, right?" The boatman was a little old, and said to her with a smile: "You don't know, the bridge in front was originally called the Qixi Bridge, and the magpie bridge meets every year. I don't know how many people there are on the Qixi Festival." People come to this bridge for a date, but since last year's Chinese Valentine's Day, when the lady from Mrs. Liu's family who went to the nunnery to clean up was thrown into the river covered in blood on this bridge, at night, all the boats and people passing by this bridge, Everyone will get lost, ranging from drowning to fright, to drowning, without exception. There are rumors that Miss Liu became a water ghost after she threw herself into the river.

"The Liu family asked people to do ceremonies here for seven or 49 days, but they failed to open this road. Over time, at night, no one would dare to pass here again. It's okay during the day, but some people are afraid. , walk around here, the business around here used to be very good, but now only the coffin shop is still open."

"So please forgive me, sir, this old man can only last this far."

"Then trouble you to get to the shore first." Qing Kuo said.

"Come on!" The boatman shouted, and rowed the boat to the shore.

Qing Chuan took the opportunity to ask him: "Which family is that Mr. Liu you are talking about? Did something happen to their lady? Why did you throw yourself into the river?"

"Master Liu is the magistrate of Chongyang City, Mrs. Liu. The lady of their family was raised by gold and jade, and she was engaged to be married before. As for what happened, no one knows, only the day she threw herself into the river, The whole body is covered in blood, and she looks extremely creepy. I don't know what kind of tragedy she has experienced. It is said that the night she threw herself into the river, the nunnery she was repairing caught fire, and a torch burned it clean. What? None left."

The river was not too wide, and it soon reached the bank.

The boatman shook his head and said with emotion: "It's miserable!"

Qing Kuo also felt that Ms. Liu must have experienced extremely tragic things, otherwise she would not have thrown herself into the river.

Master Liu, Miss Liu, Liu Yingzhong.

Qing Chuan hurriedly asked: "Boatman, do you know Mr. Liu? The one who is famous in Tian Cai Building?"

"Of course I know. In Chongyang City, who doesn't know Mr. Liu, he is the elder brother of Miss Liu, the young master of Liu Zhifu's family." The boatman replied.

Aokiwa was shocked.

So on the first day she came to Chongzhou, she got into a fight with Liu's family first?

This made her even more curious.

Can't help being a little curious about this so-called "water ghost".

She took out a handful of gold leaves and handed them to the boatman: "Boatman, mortgage the boat to me today, and come here tomorrow to look for it. If you can't find it, the gold leaves belong to you."

The boatman took the gold leaf tremblingly, and thanked Qing Chuan gratefully.

Then he asked worriedly: "Guest officer, don't you want to explore this bridge?"

Qing Kuo hurriedly waved his hands, "How can I, my husband and I came here to play, and I think the Qixi Bridge has a good meaning, and I want to stay here to enjoy the moon."

The boatman saw that although she was wearing men's clothing, but her voice was female, and she was exquisite and beautiful, he understood that it was a young couple who came on a date.

Then he smiled and warned: "Then you should be more careful at night, the old man will leave first."

It wasn't until the boatman got off the boat that Qing Chuan remembered that she hadn't told Lian Xueyin yet.

She was about to turn back to the cabin to discuss with Lian Xueyin embarrassingly, when she saw an old willow tree on the shore, fluttering in the night wind, which made Qingmao smell the same... evil spirit.

And the yin energy that almost overwhelmed the evil spirit,

If grass and trees want to cultivate into a demon, they not only need to seize the good fortune of the world, but also need a long time to absorb the aura of the world and the essence of the sun and the moon to cultivate.

Demons are also spirits.

But Yin Qi is ghost Qi.

Could it be a dying willow tree demon?

Qing Kuo immediately forgot about Lian Xueyin.

Jumping off the boat and going ashore, she walked towards the old willow tree, the closer she got, the heavier the yin energy that was about to condense into substance, and Aoba could even feel it, as if she had stepped into another tree. in space.

It might not be the water ghost turned into by Miss Liu, but the dying willow tree monster that is making trouble near the bridge.

Sure enough, Qingzhi only felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the originally gloomy and dark river bank suddenly changed, and the lights were dimmed.

There are bustling crowds all around, the sound of people buzzing, the banks are brightly lit, and there are beautiful lanterns floating in the river. She saw pairs of boys and girls holding lanterns walking past her with smiles. Wears various masks.

There are all kinds of small stalls along the river bank, some selling sachets and jade pendants, some selling lantern masks, and some selling various snacks.

She seemed to have entered a lively and noisy lantern festival.

She was carried by the crowd to the bridge.

She looked up at the bridge.

A man in a blue shirt wearing Zhong Kui's mask walked onto the bridge from the opposite side.
