When The Flowers Falls, I’ll See You Again

Chapter 6 Drowning in a Room

In the distance, Bai Ling was standing under the shade of a tree, and there was a woman in white next to her. Hong Ning recognized her, but it was not easy to get past her for a while, so she hurriedly ducked behind the tree.

"No more entanglement, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."

"I'm not for you yet!"

"You killed Xiaoke."

"So what, if she doesn't die, she will miss you!" The woman in white was excited and raised her voice, "Humans and monsters have different paths, you are not the same kind, it is impossible to be together, otherwise you will be condemned!"

Bai Ling said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you."

"It has nothing to do with me?" The woman in white hugged his arm, raised her face and shook her head, "You think I like to hurt people? Doing too much evil will make the future catastrophe aggravated. Do you think I don't know? I'm not afraid?" The brilliance gradually flickered in the middle, and she looked into his eyes: "We have cultivated together in Kunlun Mountain for more than 200 years, and you always say that I am timid and let them bully, but as long as you are here, I will dare to do anything, you ...you don't understand what I mean?"

Bai Ling was silent for a long time, then pushed her away: "I have spared your life."

The woman in white said, "Follow me back to Kunlun Mountain."

Bai Ling turned sideways.

The girl in white looked at him for a long time, and said with hatred, "She should have died. If it wasn't for her, we could cultivate immortals and save the tribulation together. I only regret that I didn't beat her to the core!"

Bai Ling was angry: "Helan Snow!"

The woman in white gritted her teeth: "You don't regret it."

With a wave of her long sleeves, she disappeared.

Hong Ning could hear clearly, but she felt a little sympathetic to this Helanxue. Because of love and hatred, feelings are always the most elusive thing. No matter how much you put in, you may not get what you get. Can't be together, the only way is to cultivate immortals...

"Come out." Bai Ling's voice.

Knowing that she was found, Hong Ning hurriedly walked out from behind the tree and said with a smile, "I see that you have something to do, so it's inconvenient to disturb you."

Bai Ling glanced at her, turned and left.

Hong Ning couldn't help: "Is she the same as you?"

When he asked the question, he thought Bai Ling would ignore it, but he stopped and replied, "She is the Xue Ji of Kunlun Mountain."

Hong Ning was surprised, "Oh", and no longer asked.

It is said that Tianhe Temple was originally a small temple. It has gradually expanded in size in the past ten years, and the incense has become more and more prosperous. Now it is considered a little famous.

Hong Ning couldn't squeeze in and asked Bai Ling, "What happened?"

Bai Ling said: "Someone died."

Hong Ningjing: "How did you die?"

Bai Ling said: "Drowning."

Hong Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "Is there a pond inside?"

Bai Ling was silent for a moment, then said, "He was drowned in the room."

People were drowning for no reason in the room. Obviously, there was something strange. Hong Ning was surprised: "Could it be that someone was murdered? Since it is a temple, it should be protected by Buddhism. This kind of thing shouldn't happen. That thing is very powerful?"

Bai Ling shook his head: "This temple has not been built for a long time, the Buddha's spirit is not heavy, and the Buddha's light is still weak."

Hong Ning pondered for a moment: "Mostly something in the water is doing something wrong, can you feel it?"

Bai Ling said: "We have to wait for it to show up."

There was no regret on the faces of the surrounding people. Instead, Hong Ning was feeling strange when a group of people came out of the door. In addition to a few monks, there were also several yamen servants and two Qingpao guards. Among the people, one of them was wearing a scarlet official robe, in his fifties, with a majestic face. The one on the left was Taozhi County of the county, and the one on the right was the abbot of Tianhe Temple.

The man in the crimson official robe bowed his hands to the people and said loudly, "A certain Hai was appointed as the prefect of Yuezhou by the sage, and he was just in office. He passed by this county the day before yesterday. For such a murderous incident, this county belongs to Yuezhou, and this government cannot shy away from the blame, and will definitely investigate the case thoroughly, anyone who knows about it can come and report it, and if it is verified, there will be a big reward!"

The new prefect? Hong Ning secretly thought, who is not an ordinary official who will take office without knowing his subordinates in advance, and receiving good food and good accommodation, but he is staying in this temple outside the city. On the surface, he seems to be upright, but it is hard to say, how many good officials are there these days? I'm not sure it's just a thunderstorm with little raindrops, a virtuous person, who intends to make a name for himself...

The two beside them whispered.

"Relying on how much money I have, my brother-in-law is also a magistrate, and he has been domineering all day long. Now he died in the place of the Buddha. It is really retribution, and it is better to find out!"

"Don't implicate the monk!"

"How could someone like Zheng Ke live in such a place? He must have inquired about the new magistrate passing by and came here with his brother-in-law to be nice and please, and I don't know how much money they gave."

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that Haigong was a very famous and honest official in Mingzhou." A voice interjected.

Both sneered.

The one who died was the magistrate's younger sister-in-law, who would like to swim in this muddy water? What's more, when this bully died, the people would only applaud and cheer, and even if they knew the clues, they would not help to catch the murderer, so the crowd gradually dispersed.

Hong Ning whispered: "What should I do?"

Bai Ling said nothing.

Although Zheng Ke deserved what he deserved, there is no guarantee that the thing will not harm others again. Seeing the prefect Haigong turning around to go in, Hong Ning decided to take a gamble, took two steps forward, and said loudly: "Master, Minnu and Senior Brother pass by this place, If you want to spend a few days in the treasure temple, I wonder if Master can make it convenient?"

Everyone turned to look at her.

The abbot did not dare to make his own decisions, and only looked at Haigong.

Tao Zhixian scolded: "Presumptuous! The prefect is here, how can you let idle people wait to live in!"

This official surnamed Tao is really powerful. Hong Ning only looked at Haigong: "I heard that Lord Hai loves the people like a son, and it is the daughter of the people who dares to ask for each other. I hope Lord Hai forgives your sins." See if you are a group.

Haigong and Yan Yuese: "There's just a murder case here, you guys..."

Hong Ning grabbed: "There is a saying, 'Don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door', my brother and I have never done evil in our life, and we have never used power to bully others. Who else would harm us for no reason?"

Haigong was stunned for a moment, thoughtful.

Tao Zhixian also heard that something was wrong, but because of Haigong's face, it was not easy to attack.

Hong Ning said, "Your Excellency is an official of the imperial court, with a distinguished status. If you are not afraid, what are we afraid of?"

Haigong showed his admiration, but still shook his head: "You two are young, you should put your life first, go elsewhere."

Hong Ning said: "To tell the truth, we are people who practice cultivation. There is no place more suitable for the so-called monk and Taoist family." After a pause, she smiled again: "Perhaps the people have a way to hold the murderer. "

Haigong really brightened his eyes and pondered.

Tao Zhixian couldn't help but say, "You two are young, so what are you capable of picking up a murderer and making a fool of yourself!"

Hong Ning lowered her eyes: "You have to use your skills to know it, and the girl just heard that Master Tao of this county is also a 20-year-old juren, isn't it also that he can do a lot at a young age?"

Tao Zhixian could neither say yes nor say no, he snorted softly, "She gave birth to a sharp mouth."

Haigong asked the abbot next to him with a smile: "Is there any room available?"

The abbot replied: "There are still a few rooms."

Haigong said: "Since the two of you have such courage, let's stay."

Sure enough, he was a good official, Hong Ning bowed and thanked Bai Ling and dragged Bai Ling into the door.

Tao Zhixian came to embarrass the two of them, and secondly, it was his brother-in-law who died. Originally, he heard that the magistrate was passing by, and hurriedly brought him to flatter him. Whoever wanted to make him lose his life, his sister would cry, and naturally worried, so Can't wait to rush the murderer, Hong Ning did not refuse, and proposed to go to the scene, the abbot led everyone to the room where Zheng Ke lived.

The room was clean and a little austere, but it could still be seen that it was a superior room in the temple.

Haigong said: "When the servants found out, Zheng Gongzi was lying on the middle ground, soaked all over, as if he had been soaked in water. According to the inspection, he was drowned."

Hong Ning checked the window and found that it was nailed firmly, so she asked, "Did anyone come to see Mr. Zheng that night?"

The yamen said: "I've been waiting in the yard to guard, but there is no movement."

Hong Ning said nothing.

The abbot sighed: "Amitabha, our temple was originally just a small place. It has received more support from Zheng Tanyue in the past ten years. It is only today.

Zheng Ke was notorious for bullying the people, but he was willing to spend money to build a temple. Hong Ning laughed secretly: "Did you see anything special at that time?"

silence.

Haigong said: "He has some water plants on his body."

Hong Ning said: "Where are the water plants?"

The abbot hesitated for a moment, and replied, "It's in the lotus pond of this temple. Zheng Tanyue likes that pond, and has raised many fish in it, so I won't let me go to it without authorization."

Hong Ning nodded: "That's right, he was drowned by the water in the pond."

Tao Zhixian sneered: "You mean he ran to the pond by himself?"

Haigong also said: "Zheng Gongzi was in the room that night and did not go out."

If there is something inhuman in the pond, will the prefect believe it? Hong Ning couldn't explain it, and asked: "Could it be that the water from the pond flowed into the room and drowned people, adults would believe it?"

Haigong shook his head.

Tao Zhixian snorted: "Absurd!"

Hong Ning was unsure and turned to look at Bai Ling.

Bai Ling nodded slightly and said softly, "Buddha."

Inexplicable red.

Bai Ling said, "Isn't everything in the temple marked with the word 'Buddha'?"

Hong Ning Dawu: "Yes, wasn't everything marked in our room just now, why isn't it here?"

A little monk hurriedly stood up and folded his hands: "Zheng Tanyue said that it was an eyesore, and asked the little monk to replace it."

Everyone was surprised.

Haigong doubted: "Really?"

Another monk next to him testified: "It was indeed Zheng Tanyue who asked him to be replaced."

Hong Ning shook his head, a person who paid for the construction of a temple, but thought the word "Buddha" was an eyesore. There were "Buddha" everywhere, and the monsters with shallow Taoism naturally did not dare to do anything wrong. He took off the amulet and suffered because of it.

Tao Zhixian was uncomfortable: "Now I'm looking for a murderer, not a Buddha."

Hong Ning said: "Since a thorough investigation is required, it is natural to ask more clearly."

The case is strange, Haigong didn't expect the two of them at first, and nodded: "It's okay, let's rest today."

Tao Zhixian echoed two sentences, and repeatedly invited Haigong to settle in the city, but Haigong refused, because he knew what his brother-in-law did on weekdays. It was getting late, so he left in a hurry, leaving several yamen to protect Haigong's safety. After all, if the court ordered an official to have an accident on his own territory, he would not be able to escape the culpability.

The flowers are fragrant, and the flowers are like spring in the palace city all year round. Jinxiu stands by the red fence with her hands behind her back, looking at the cluster of red camellias that are like fire under the fence, she seems to be thinking about something.

Behind him, a woman wearing a light red and white shirt and holding an apricot flower called him softly, "Sir Shenzun."

Jinxiu turned sideways.

The woman hesitated: "They all said... Lord Shenzun is about to step down and return to Zhongtian."

Jinxiu smiled: "What?"

The woman lowered her head and said in a low voice, "No, it's just that we won't be able to see Lord God Zun in the future..."

"It is a happy event to be promoted to the gods, why don't you want the Lord God to stay and watch you?" The cold and arrogant woman next to her interrupted her, waving her hand, a tree of red plums immediately bloomed and fragrant, "As long as we devote ourselves to cultivation, we will be ranked in the future. Immortal, there will be a reunion day in the heavenly court, you are so clingy, it will only disturb the cultivation of Lord God."

The woman blushed and glared at her earlier.

Jinxiu said: "Mei Xian is right, even if I'm not here, there will be a new flower god, since I'm my race, I will take care of you, and it's hard to predict whether you can return to your position now, the two of you must not be because of this. Wrong practice."

Xingxian was happy: "Really?"

Jinxiu was about to speak, but stopped, turning to look at the auspicious clouds flying from the sky.

The cloud head pressed down, but when he saw the person coming in a snow-clothed long skirt, with a beautiful appearance, a natural charm in his dignified posture, and a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be both angry and happy, it was the Beiyao goddess.

Jinxiu is not surprised: "The goddess."

Beiyao Tiannv didn't salute, and walked slowly to his side: "The nobleman has forgotten so much, and he doesn't even remember the word Lu Yao? If you are still so polite, I will have to pay homage to the King of Heaven next time."

Jinxiu raised her hand to sit.

Lu Yao's beautiful eyes turned, looked around, revealing a narrow smile: "I heard that the scenery in Huachao Palace is good, as expected, I wanted to come and go more, but I was afraid that you would find me annoying."

Jinxiu smiled: "Don't dare."

Lu Yao whispered, "Thank you for Lu Jiu's matter."

Jinxiu said: "The King of the Northern Realm should not blame him."

Lu Yao shook her head: "It's because he didn't practice well and ran down the mountain without authorization to make trouble. If you didn't teach him a lesson, he would be in a big disaster in the future, and even his father wouldn't be able to save him at that time." After a pause, she turned her eyes again: "As a family Man, you should discipline him by yourself, why not see it outside, my father is only grateful, how can he blame him."

Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

The two of them spoke to themselves, Xingxian had served tea, and then returned to stand beside Meixian, complaining in a low voice: "What do you always come to pester Lord God for!"

Mei Xiandao: "She is the future Princess Zhongtian, so she can come naturally."

Xingxian was stunned for a while, and suddenly said: "If we can be her maids, wouldn't we be able to follow Lord God?"

Mei Xian was quite disdainful: "No ambition."

The water in the pond was sinking and the pond was wide. Since summer had not yet come, there were no new lotus leaves, but there were many dry lotus stalks lying about in the shallow water. The two stood by the pond.

"There has never been an accident in the temple before. It is afraid of seeing Buddha's words, so it will not be too bad."

"kindness."

"Didn't the abbot say that Zheng Ke likes this pond? But look at those water plants, those withered lotus leaves... The pond has never been cleaned," Hong Ning looked at it carefully for a long time and raised her face, "It's true that there are fish in it, you Say, could it be the fish doing the trick?"

Bai Ling did not answer.

Hong Ning sighed: "Can't you snort more?"

Bai Ling looked at her: "Yes."

Hong Ning couldn't help laughing, pointing at him as he was about to speak, but she heard a voice from the left, very familiar, and turned to look, it turned out to be a man and woman in white flirting over there.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Hong Ning was shocked.

The woman in white is He Lanxue, and that man, with his soul-stirring eyes, is not the fox demon Lu Jiu!

The two of them are rare characters, and they are a good match in terms of appearance, but if the two of them look alike, they will not look so pleasing to the eye. Someone she's jealous of? In the end, no one can be angry except himself.

As expected, Bai Ling had already seen it, and frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Hong Ning probed: "How will she escape in the future?"

Bai Ling said, "It has nothing to do with me."

Hong Ning said: "You are too ruthless."

Bai Ling looked at her and seemed a little stunned.

Hong Ning didn't pay attention, she leaned over to look over there, but saw He Lanxue sitting in Lu Jiu's arms, with her hands on Lu Jiu's neck, her beautiful eyes staring at Bai Ling from a distance, seeing that he didn't respond, and gradually she could no longer act. , showing a look of grief, who is Lu Jiu, and soon found out that the beauty was in a wrong state, and then looked over, Hong Ning accidentally met his eyes, and suddenly began to be in a trance again, until Bai Ling turned sideways to block his vision, then Suddenly woke up, secretly regretted.

Bai Ling pulled her up and left: "That's the white fox, be careful, don't be fooled by him."

Hong Ning also felt that it should not be too much, and nodded: "I know."
