Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 146
Yinlin's Adam's apple trembled up and down, he raised his sword and walked towards Jin Zhen, choked with tears and said:

"Senior Sister... Both of my parents died when I was young... I regard you as my only family member... You often say that everyone in the immortal world is an ant... Teach me to abandon the feelings of mortals... But now... I cry like a mortal ...I'm really useless..."

Two lines of blood and tears slid down Jin Zhen's pale face, and she moaned in pain: "Junior Brother... I'll teach you not to be tempted by Mu Lingyu... In fact, I'm the one with a stronger heart...I just want to be with you forever Shou...whether you become a fairy...or a mortal...Heaven is unfeeling...Senior sister can't see through...Junior brother...Please don't blame senior sister just...just now..."

"Senior Sister, I know that you were bewitched by the evildoer just now to want to kill me. You must be in pain now, and I won't blame you. I will let you go now, and then I will avenge you!"

After finishing speaking, Yin Lin raised his sword and was about to stab Jin Zhen to death, when he suddenly heard a cold voice in his ear:

"Wait a minute..."

The ethereal voice echoed outside Fulong Hall, Yin Lin looked up and felt that the voice seemed to come from the distant sky.

Qinghu lay on the eaves and said slowly: "I don't seem to have allowed you to kill her."

Yin Lin pointed at the green fox with his sword, and said angrily: "Naughty animal! You are bewitching people and destroying humanity! You must die tonight!"

"Human nature?" Qinghu said with a smile: "I'm not human, how can I understand human nature? However, I know how to repay kindness, unlike you despicable humans."

"Trying people's hearts with vicious means, aren't you despicable?"

"I don't know whether it's despicable or not. I only know that humans like hunting very much. Sometimes, you hunt not for skinning and making clothes, but for pure fun. What I'm doing now is the same as you humans, just for fun That's all."

Qinghu laughed and lowered his head.

However, when it was laughing the most, it suddenly felt a sharp pain in one of its feet. When it turned its head, it saw that its ankle was being bitten fiercely by a small green bamboo-leaf snake!

A blue light glowed from the body of the little bamboo-leaf green snake, and the light from the green fox's body became increasingly dimmer as if it had been taken away.

The green fox immediately threw the little snake away, its eyes were slightly closed, and its whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, a fox tail drooped weakly, already feeling like it was exhausted.

Yin Lin looked at the green fox and said in amazement: "Senior sister! What's wrong with it?"

"Hahahaha! It's God's will!" Jin Zhen let out a burst of laughter accompanied by heart-piercing pain: "Here we come! The doom of this evil animal has finally come!"

"Senior sister, your arm..." Yin Lin found that the collapse on Jin Zhen's body had stopped, and was suddenly too excited to speak!
Jin Zhen burst into ecstasy, looked up at the green fox, and said: "This evil animal withdraws the mysterious energy left in my body, it must have been taken away by that little snake, and it will do so out of fear of losing its life. Junior Brother, quickly take this opportunity to kill Qing Li!"

Yin Lin gripped the silver sword tightly, and was about to make a move when he saw the little green snake's body getting bigger and bigger, and it turned into a giant green-scaled python in an instant.

At this time, there were two more bumps on the top of the green-scaled python's head, faintly showing the characteristics of a dragon.A pair of lantern-sized snake eyes stared at Yin Lin, and his bloody mouth let out a terrifying roar like a dragon's chant!
Yin Lin turned pale in shock, and couldn't help taking a step back, saying: "Senior Sister, I just slashed that giant snake with a sword, it must have retaliated against me, we'd better go first!"

After saying that, Yin Lin put Jin Zhen on his back and went straight to escape outside the palace.

The giant green-scaled python dived into the ground to chase after it, and a gust of wind blew out bottomless ravines on the grass outside Fulong Temple.

At this time, Ji Gongyan in the distance was lying on the ground, almost unable to breathe due to the pressure of the wind.

After an unknown amount of time, there was complete silence outside Fulong Hall.

Ji Gongzhen got up slowly, patted the dust off his body, stretched out his hand to test it, and found that the barrier outside Fulong Hall had disappeared.His eyes lit up, and he ran quickly, only to see Fulong Palace was dilapidated and turned into ruins.

At this time, there was a crisp sound from the ruins!
Ji Gongzhen turned her head suddenly, only to see a pile of tiles pushed away, and a dusty green fox sprang out!

Driven by curiosity, Ji Gongyan hurriedly chased after him, just in time to run into two guards with knives.

"His Royal Highness, are you okay!"

"I'm fine. If the grand master comes to ask later, you must not tell about my visit, or be careful of your heads!"

After finishing speaking, Ji Gongyan quickly chased in the direction where Qinghu fled.

Qinghu's ankle was injured, and he didn't run fast, leaving drops of mottled blood along the way.

Due to the commotion just now, the sleeping people were awakened, and the palace was already brightly lit.

Under the illumination of the light, Ji Gongyan chased along the blood trail and unknowingly came to the southeast corner of the palace.

In front of Ji Gongzhen seems to be a wall built by wrist-thick vines, and the vines are tightly attached to each other. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find that there is a circle of rust wrapped around the unusually thick vines. Spotted copper fence.

Behind the copper fence is a simple house.

Ji Gongzhen opened a gap and peeped inside, and found that the house was randomly built of wood planks and adobe bricks, which was incompatible with other beautiful buildings in the palace.There is a row of huts nearby.When the night wind blew up, Ji Gongyan smelled a strong stench coming to his nostrils, and he was so disgusted that he almost vomited.

Ji Gongzhen never imagined that there would be such a shabby house in the luxurious palace where he lived since he was a child. It must be impossible for people to live in such a place.

There were no lights around, and there was a dead silence.

Ji Gongzhen looked around, but didn't even see a single figure, and a sudden fear lingered in his heart.

"His Royal Highness!" A voice suddenly came from the ear.

Ji Gongxuan's body shook, and she turned around to find a little maid who was about the same age as her, who had collapsed by the side of the road at some point.

"Who are you?" Ji Gongyan's eyes widened, looking at the little maid sitting on the ground, the more she looked at it, the more familiar she looked.

"My name is Xiao Mian, and I am Princess Lin Zi's maid."

"Lin Zi? The concubine who offended her father and was executed in public?" Ji Gongyu was startled suddenly, and suddenly said, "No wonder I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

Xiao Mian frowned, showing a look of pain, holding one ankle with both hands.

Only then did Ji Gongyan realize that one of her ankles was bleeding. "What happened to your foot?"

"A blue fox bit me just now, and now I can't exert any strength."

"Green Fox? I'm here to look for that fox!" Ji Gongyan looked around quickly and murmured, "...that's where the blood disappeared. That fox must be in that house."

Xiao Mian said softly: "Hasn't His Royal Highness heard...that house is haunted?"

"Haunted!" Ji Gongyan exclaimed, and said in a trembling voice: "This is the most important place in the royal palace...how could there be ghosts...don't talk nonsense!"

Xiao Mian smiled slightly, and said, "Even if His Royal Highness has never heard of ghosts, he should have heard of Xiao Shunzi."

Hearing the words "Xiao Shunzi", Ji Gongyan instantly felt a chill creep up his spine, "You mean... the eunuch who was hanged in the palace recently?"

Xiao Mian nodded, and said, "Xiao Shunzi was in a hurry to urinate one day when he was patrolling the night, and he planned to use a nearby hut to make it convenient. At that time, it was the dead of night, and the surroundings were quiet, just like now. Then... a terrible thing happened It's..."

"What... a horrible thing?"

"Little Shunzi just took off his pants when he heard a woman's voice coming from the copper fence. He bumped into me. I was the only person in the entire palace who knew about this matter. As for what happened later, His Royal Highness should know. Xiao Shunzi was hanged by someone in the eunuchs’ bedroom, the first eunuch to wake up in the morning Seeing the corpse of Xiao Shunzi sticking out his tongue, he was so frightened that he passed out on the spot! To this day, the murderer who killed Xiao Shunzi has not been found yet."

Ji Gongzhen took a step back, looked at the copper fence and said, "What's inside?"

"This mansion used to be a cold palace, and it was a famous "unclean place". In order to compete for favor, the concubines of the harem often fought to the death. Many concubines and maids who fell out of favor were dragged here at night, and some even They were directly killed inside. It also included my former master...Lin Zi."

As soon as the words fell, a woman's voice suddenly came out from inside the copper fence:

"Xiao Mian, who is coming outside?"

"Who!" Ji Gongyan took a breath and said, "Who is talking?"

The hairs on Ji Gongnie's body stood up one by one, and the pants between her legs were already soaked, and they were blown cool by the wind.

Xiao Mian purposely opened her eyes wide, looked at Ji Gongyan and said, "...it's the master... I should go!"

"Master? Could it be... Lin Zi's ghost!" Ji Gongyan exclaimed, and ran away in fright!

As for what happened in the house later, Ji Gongyan didn't know at all, because he didn't dare to look back.After running all the way back, he immediately asked five people to rescue the maid named Xiao Mian, but found that she was missing.

Until two days later, someone found the corpse of a female who was about the same age and figure as Xiao Mian in a well, but unfortunately it was beyond recognition and could not be identified.

Ji Gongzhen found that the ankle of the female corpse was not bitten by a fox, so she thought it was not Xiaomian.
