When The Flowers Falls, I’ll See You Again

Chapter 7 Please Flower God

All the high elves entered the temple, not only Bai Ling, but also a snow demon and a five-tailed fox. Bai Ling can be ruled out. As for the other two, Hong Ning also thinks it is unlikely. First of all, Zheng Ke was killed when he entered the temple. It can be seen that the monster must be from the temple, and Zheng Ke has visited Tianhe Temple many times until the day before yesterday. The accident happened after I moved in and replaced the thing with the word "Buddha", which means that the monster can't show up to harm people during the day, and is afraid of Buddhism, and the cultivation base will not be too deep. Helanxue and Lu Jiu can walk around the temple at will, and murder does not require conditions at all. .

Hong Ning lay on the bed thinking for a long time, and decided to ask Bai Ling to go to the pond to have a look.

Bai Ling stood outside the door.

Hong Ning was surprised: "What are you doing here?"

Bai Ling did not answer.

Was he worried that Lu Jiu would come to trouble him? Hong Ning quickly understood the reason, and her heart warmed: "Let's go to the pond again."

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he saw a person waiting outside, Bai Ling ignored it and just walked forward.

"Bai Ling!" He Lanxue stopped him.

"let."

"Senior brother, I'm right there, I have something to call you." Hong Ning found an excuse to get out, and walked quickly without waiting for Bai Ling to say more. Although she was a little sorry for Bai Ling, she really didn't want to offend her and couldn't afford to offend her. Trouble, Helanxue is too crazy, she can do everything, not to mention that there is no need for others to mix the problems between them, it is better to ask Bai Ling to solve it by himself.

"Let." Annoyed.

"Do you like her anymore?"

"She is my junior sister, don't make trouble unreasonably."

He Lanxue's voice softened after hearing the explanation: "Don't be angry, I just..."

Hong Ning breathed a sigh of relief and quickened her pace. Bai Ling knew that it was very important. If she really misunderstood her, she might end up like Xiao Ke.

Turn the corner, and in front of you is the pond.

Suddenly, she stumbled on something under her feet, and Hong Ning almost fell. Looking down, she saw a white shadow lying on the ground. She immediately backed away to avoid looking at those eyes, and at the same time opened her mouth to call for help.

"Hold me over there." Lazy voice.

Hearing that it wasn't Lu Jiu, Hong Ning let out a long breath, "Who are you?"

The man on the ground looked pretty decent, but what was different was that he had a pair of ears that were unusually long, and his eyes were half-squinted, with a strange red light.

Is it a rabbit? On the contrary, Hong Ning is much calmer. This goblin has not completely taken off her true form, and her mana will never be too strong. Could it be that... he is doing something wrong recently?

Rabbit Essence was dissatisfied with her reaction: "Hey, stay?"

Hong Ning sighed: "Where do I want to hold you?"

Seeing that she was not afraid, Rabbit Jing was a bit surprised. After a moment of hesitation, she reached out and pointed to the other side of the pond: "I live outside the temple, you should carry me over there first."

"Okay." Hong Ning leaned down to hug him, but secretly held a talisman and chanted a spell.

Rabbit Essence was completely defenseless, aware of being restrained, and shocked: "What are you doing!"

The demonic aura is not heavy, so there shouldn't be any intention of harming anyone. Hong Ning was a little suspicious. He pulled out the small sword around his waist and pointed at him, sneering: "Did you harm people? If you don't tell the truth, you will be beaten back to your original shape by Tianlei. !"

Hearing the fight back to its original shape, Rabbit Jing became anxious and begged for mercy: "I didn't harm anyone."

Hong Ning said, "How did Zheng Ke die?"

Rabbit Jing said, "Who is Zheng Ke?"

Hong Ning said, "He built this temple at his expense, how could you not know it?"

Rabbit Jing differentiated: "I rarely come out on weekdays, how can I know about them."

Seeing it really didn't look like a lie, Hong Ning was disappointed and unwilling: "You live nearby, and you haven't seen anything strange happen in the temple? Are there any other monsters in this temple?"

Rabbit Jing seemed to remember something: "You mean dead? Yes, someone died."

Hong Ning secretly rejoiced: "Speak."

Rabbit Essence said: "Only I know about this matter. If it is with you, you must let me go."

Hong Ning responded without hesitation.

Rabbit Essence said, "Someone died in the pond."

Hong Ning said: "It's Zheng Ke from a few days ago, who harmed him?"

Rabbit Essence said: "What a few days ago, ten years ago."

Hong Ning was surprised: "Ten years ago?"

Rabbit Jing returned to her lazy appearance: "Ten years ago, this was a small temple with only a few rooms. I came to enjoy the shade that night and saw a monk sitting and talking with a man in green. What kind of dragon palace crystal bottle was that man looking for? When he took it out, the man repeatedly praised it for being priceless, and then killed him while the monk was not paying attention, tied him with iron chains and sank to the bottom of the pool, and walked away with the treasure bottle."

Because of greed to kill, no wonder Zheng Ke does not let the pond be cleaned! Hong Ning sucked in a breath of cold air. This monk was killed for no reason. The body has not yet seen the sun, and it must be difficult to enter the reincarnation: "Who is that monk?"

Rabbit Jing shook his head: "I don't know that."

Ten years ago, someone disappeared for no reason in the temple. It sounds like it shouldn't be difficult, but Hong Ning let him go after a few words of warning, and turned around and walked back.

"The little monk didn't enter the temple ten years ago," the little monk said while sorting out the scriptures in the small attic, "not to mention the little monk, the abbots also came later, and there has never been one less person in the temple these years. "

Hong Ning wondered: "According to you, no one stayed in this temple ten years ago?"

The little monk put down the scriptures and explained: "In those days, this place was very desolate and simple, and there was only one master Haiming guarding it, which is not comparable to the current scene. Later, Master Haiming traveled and handed over the temple to Zheng Tanyue to take care of it. Tanyue is very trustworthy, and he invested in the renovation of the temple, so that the Tianhe Temple is today."

Hong Ning was startled, but she smiled: "No wonder Mr. Zheng will help Tianhe Temple. It turned out to be the friendship of Master Haiming."

The little monk said, "The two of them were friends."

Hong Ning asked, "Has Master Haiming ever been back?"

The little monk shook his head.

now it's right! Hong Ning said, "Has anything strange happened in your temple over the years? For example, that pond?"

The little monk thought for a while: "I don't know if it's a strange thing, the lotus flower in the pond bloomed later than other places, but fell earlier, because the little monk thought it was interesting, he recorded the day in private, no matter how well it opened before, it will be on June 16th. The petals finished falling that day."

Hong Ning was surprised and thoughtful.

The little monk said: "Last summer night, a senior brother also said that he saw a monster with red eyes and long ears by the pond, which made him sick for several days."

The rabbit ran out to enjoy the shade, scaring the monk. Hong Ning smiled secretly, fearing that he would be suspicious, so he deliberately changed the subject: "No one has come in for incense these two days?"

The little monk bowed his head down and said, "What incense is there, it's a blessing to be able to escape a life in the future."

Hong Ning hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

The little monk said in a low voice, "To tell the truth, Zheng Tanyue had an accident in our temple, and he has been unable to find the murderer for a long time. Even if the magistrate does not pursue it, Tao magistrate will not let us go in the future. Now we have people to stay outside, just because I am afraid We ran away."

Dog officer! Hong Ning cursed inwardly, comforted him with good words, and then left in a hurry after asking something else. As soon as she walked down the corridor, she heard several yamen talking around.

"There is a ghost in the room where Zheng Ke died, brothers stay away these days!"

"real or fake?"

"What are you doing to scare you! Last night, Zhao San and I passed by and heard a woman's voice inside. The two of us dared to push the door in, but there was nothing left!"

Everyone gasped.

"I don't know when the surnamed Hai is willing to leave. The lives of our brothers are hanging, bad luck!"

…

Why is another woman involved? Hong Ning was shocked, and went back to her room to tell Bai Ling about this.

Bai Ling said: "It's not Haiming, there is no resentment in the temple."

Ghosts are different from demons. After death, the soul has no attachment, nowhere to hide, and can only wander near the corpse. Therefore, it is impossible to escape black and white and impermanence. Unless it is full of resentment and cannot enter the gate of ghosts, it is precisely because of this that people with Taoism are very wise. It's easy to find them. Now that there is no resentment in the pond, there is only one possibility—Hamming has returned to the underworld.

Hong Ning said: "Perhaps Master Haiming has already figured it out, but now his corpse is sinking in the bottom of the pond without seeing the light of day, even if he goes to the underworld, I am afraid that he will not enter the reincarnation so quickly." She murmured: "Since it is not him, It should have been done by the banshee, and she also has a grudge against Zheng Ke."

Bai Ling said, "I want to go back and have a look."

Hong Ning returned to her senses, puzzled: "What?"

Bai Ling was silent for a while, and there was a hint of unease in his tone: "Helanxue has always acted impulsive and reckless, and said some angry words to me yesterday."

He Lanxue's personality is extreme, and it's too easy to anger others. It's not impossible to force him to go back and attack others. Although Wenxin is highly skilled, that woman can do everything. This ruthlessness is not comparable to Wenxin. The distance is too far, the sound transmission has already expired, and Hong Ning is also a little worried, nodding: "How about we all go back."

"It's too slow to take you, the demon fox has already left, I'll go back and tell Master, I'll come back to you tomorrow," Bai Ling finished, took her hand, and put a bright and transparent bracelet on her wrist. "Call me if you are in a hurry."

Hong Ning had used this thing many times when she was a child, and she even tested it out of curiosity. Bai Ling could arrive in time every time, but since she knew what it was, she refused to use it again. Seeing him take it out again, he couldn't help but sigh, and forced a smile: "I'm not a child, so I always let the inner alchemy leave my body, which is very hurtful and dangerous."

Bai Ling hummed softly, pushed her away, and disappeared when she went out.

At dusk, there was an incense table by the pond, covered with yellow cloth, candles, incense burners, tokens, and many other talismans written on three-color paper.

It was the first time that Hong Ning was working alone. Although Master Haiming had nothing to do with the case, he died innocently. His bones were buried in the bottom of the pond without seeing the light of day. There are corpses in the pond, I am afraid no one will believe that Tao Zhixian is deliberately embarrassing, and this matter will also implicate him, because he has a crystal bottle sent by Zheng Ke in his home, which is the news revealed by the servants.

To convince Haigong, you must first convince him that there are ghosts in the world.

The **** this time is very special, and the master has never invited it, not to mention that Hong Ning can’t even remember the common formulas. She has to think about her actions. First, she bows her head respectfully, recites the mantra with all the gods, and then uses the sword to provoke three The colored talisman paper was lit on the candle, and he said silently: "Disciple Hong Ning, I would like to worship under the throne of the God of Flowers, the monarch knows, the token will be raised..."

Although the words were nondescript, the meaning was clear. After she finished silently, she stared nervously at the three tokens, her eyes fixed.

There was no movement.

Hong Ning was not reconciled, and continued to chant the spell and burn the talisman paper, repeating it three or four times, but still no effect, she could only sigh, and was about to give up, just as she was about to pack her things, suddenly there was a cool wind blowing, with a strange fragrance in the wind, Paper dust scattered.

"What are you doing?" A familiar voice.

It is rare for me to communicate with the gods at this level. How can I invite the real body to come? Hong Ning's first reaction was that something went wrong and was panicking. Now that he saw it, he was relieved and secretly delighted: "Please flower god."

Jinxiu walked over slowly.

Hong Ning wanted to be called eldest brother, but felt that it was inappropriate. He might be a senior who is hundreds or thousands of years old, so he went to the title and asked directly: "What are you doing here?" Is it to protect me?

Jinxiu didn't answer, just looked at the talismans on the incense case, and said with a smile, "This is impossible to invite."

Hong Ning blushed: "I'll try."

Jinxiu said softly: "I don't want to cultivate immortals, and I don't want to learn magic. How can a person survive in this world in the future?"

There was no sarcasm in the words, and there was a hint of worry in the emotion, Hong Ning was stunned, and calmly joked: "Let the master and the brothers raise them, I can't live forever, I will definitely die before them, and then I can't. , just enter the reincarnation early and reincarnate early."

Jinxiu was silent for a moment, then sighed: "No matter what happens, you must remember that it is God's will, the fate of fate."

The words were mysterious, and Hong Ning was inexplicable.

Jinxiu said: "What do you ask the God of Flowers to do?"

Hong Ning returned to her senses, told him everything that happened, and finally said: "I suspect that the lotus in this pond is doing the trick."

Jinxiu turned to look at the pond: "How can you see it?"

Subconsciously wanting to trust this person, Hong Ning didn't intend to hide it: "After more than ten years, there is no resentment around, it is impossible for Master Haiming's soul to still be there. They heard a woman's voice in that room last night. Master Ming, the flower affairs have always been in charge of the flower **** Huaxian, but the lotus flowers here are strangely blooming. They all wither before June 16 every year. I’m afraid it’s not due to the climate. to control the time spent?"

Jinxiu said: "Everything has its own set. Zheng Ke did too much evil before his death, so there is this reward."

Hong Ning said: "But there is no guarantee that she will not harm others in the future, and if she really has a grudge against Zheng Ke, she should come out and make it clear, so as not to implicate the monks in the temple. The dead person is a relative of Tao Zhi County, Tao Zhi County. I will anger them, if she insists on doing her own thing and implicates innocent people, I will have to force her to show up, and then her cultivation will be destroyed, no wonder I am."

Jinxiu frowned: "For a hundred years of flowers and trees, the thunder will fall at that time. Only by avoiding it can you become a demon. After another three hundred years of cultivation, you will have to go through a small calamity. After a five-hundred-year calamity, you can only become a small fairy if the calamity is successful in two thousand years."

Hong Ning said: "Because it is not easy to practice, and things are not clear, I am also afraid of wronging her, maybe it is another monster, so I want to ask her and ask the flower **** to call on her behalf."

Jinxiu nodded: "You did the right thing."

Hong Ning looked at him for a long time and said bluntly, "Are you the same as her?"

Jinxiu really smiled and did not deny it.

Relying on his good temper, Hong Ning smiled and said: "Actually, I wanted to ask for a long time. If you don't want to say it, just pretend that I haven't asked."

Jinxiu said, "Want me to help you?"

Hong Ning admitted: "Can you see the flower god?"

"Yes, there is actually no need for others to intervene in this matter," Jinxiu looked at Chi Shui, "it's not that she doesn't want to come out, it's just that her cultivation is too shallow, so she can't show up during the day. There is Dharma everywhere in the temple. The officials of the government are very suffocating, you can ask them to remove their weapons, remove their official robes, wait by the pool, and she will come out at midnight."

It's just that the monk has amulets such as Buddha beads. It turns out that she is afraid of the yamen with knives. No wonder those people heard the sound of pushing the door and went in, so she ran away. It seems that she also wanted to come out and clarify the matter, Hong Ning was relieved. , tentatively: "You are not an ordinary flower demon, are you... a flower fairy?"

Jinxiu smiled but did not answer.

Hong Ning remembered something: "Do you know the King of Heaven?"

Jinxiu said: "What?"

Hong Ning repeated what Zhongxian of Evil Dragon Pool said the day before: "He said that he would pay homage to King Zhongtian."

Jinxiu shook his head: "He was originally the chief of Nantianmen. He was lethargic. He missed a mistake once a thousand years ago. Fortunately, the emperor forgiven him. I didn't expect that he would not change this habit. Today, it is also doomed."

Hong Ning said to himself: "But he said he had seen me, and he also said that I went to see it with King Zhongtian."

Splendid is silent.

Hong Ning stared at him: "What are you? Red camellia? Camellia fairy?"

Jinxiu smiled.

Hong Ning raised her eyebrows: "Let me see the original form."

Jinxiu said: "It is very rude to let the flower demon show its original shape."

Hong Ning smiled and said, "I'm a mountain girl, and I don't know how to behave. Are you not afraid that I will accept you when I get angry?"

"Bold and rude, this temperament is only worthy of red camellia," Jin Xiu smiled, her eyes soft as water, "It's getting late, hurry up and do errands, I'll come back in the evening." She turned around and walked a few steps before disappearing.

With red camellia? Hong Ning blushed, and there was still a faint scent in the surrounding air. She suddenly felt flustered, and hurriedly turned around and walked towards Haigong's residence.
