long night walk

Chapter 1046 Addiction
As for the Qing Zhi who sent the dew, the suspicion is still the biggest at this moment.

And in the alley, the identities of the three people who died have also been ascertained.

As expected by Bai Li'an, they were indeed people from the Shangqing Immortal Realm, and all of them had a strong background.

These three people are all subjects of the Ancient Yin Kingdom in the fairy world of the Shangqing, and they are all Taoist immortals with official immortal titles.

The immortals of the Shangqing Immortal Realm died tragically in Shifang City for no reason, and there must be an explanation for this matter.

It seems that within a few days, there will be immortals descending from this ancient Yin country.

But now that the three died, all signs and evidence point to Qingzhi, a member of One Drop of Blood.

No matter how you look at it now, it doesn't matter whether it is poisoning the emperor.

Or to attract the dragon, fish and whale to kill the three subjects of the ancient Yin country, I am afraid that the same person did it intentionally.

The real trouble is coming...

After this matter came to an end, Tan Guangjun did not continue to kill innocent people indiscriminately, restricting the freedom of many monks in the building.

Everyone didn't dare to continue to watch the excitement, and they all left the Wanggui Building one after another.

As for the next auction, it was destined to end without a problem.

When Li Bansheng left, he glanced at Qin Muqing quietly.

That look sent chills down her spine, but she didn't say much, and led the group of disciples away.

Qin Lou didn't have the opportunity to reprimand him until the people were almost gone, "You are so ignorant today!"

"Mother~" Qin Muqing called out aggrievedly.

Qin Lou reprimanded in a low voice: "What you said today will undoubtedly kill Taixuanzong in the future.

And the city lord didn't say anything, it's your turn to embarrass Miss Fang San!Let's think about how to explain to the city lord first! "

The words seemed to be in a low volume, but they were obviously meant for Bai Lian.

Bai Li'an directly ignored the subtle hint of goodwill in Qin Lou's words, and the spring flowers and autumn moon in his eyes were completely gone at this moment.

He subconsciously went to look for Fang Geyu, but saw that she did not know when to call the red fan girl in the mansion, leaning her head and whispering in her ear, as if she was giving orders.

Seeing this, Baili'an's mind moved slightly.

All the maids in Fang Ge Yu's mansion who seemed to have a normal aura didn't seem so simple.

Looking at it like this, apart from doing some serving work of serving tea and water on weekdays, I am afraid that he will also secretly help Fang Geyu with some unknown things.

Seeing that she was so busy, Bai Li'an also knew that it must be a lot of trouble for the Emperor Chenghuang to have an accident on the site of Shifang City.

He didn't bother.

Bai Lian let out a mouthful of turbid air slowly, and the severe pain in his abdomen, as if swallowing a steel nail, also spread out, making people feel more irritable.

He glanced at Su Jing who hadn't left with Li Bansheng, his complexion returned to normal, and said softly: "Senior Sister Jing, let me take a step to talk."

After leaving the Wanggui Tower, the mountains outside the city are already dark.

On the shore of the lake after the snowfall, winter willow branches covered with a layer of bright ice crystals sway in the moonlight night wind, and the fragrance of wild Clivia flowers under the bridgehead is cool and delicate, coming in waves.

On a snowy night, the stars are full of chess, and there is a small boat floating in the water, and young men and women from ordinary people's homes go boating and pick water lilies.

It is a good time for Jinling Bamboo Horse.

Su Jing followed Bai Lian not far or near, his gaze under the shadow of the slanting trees seemed to linger in the center of the lake, his face was calm, and he didn't know what to write.

Bai Lian asked her to call out, saying that she had something to say.

But when he got out of Wangguilou, he didn't say a word, he was silent for a long time, and he kept walking.

Su Jing didn't urge to ask questions, but just quietly followed behind him.

Walking the road he walked, soaking in the bursts of flower fragrance blowing from his body, stepping on the slanting and elongated shadow behind him, wearing white clothes seems to melt into it.

Passing through a broken bridge with flowing water, the surroundings are slightly indifferent.

Bai Lian suddenly stopped, and Su Jing also stopped.

She looked up, and it turned out that there was an old woman pushing a cart selling roasted sweet potatoes in front of the bridge.

The old woman had poor eyesight, and one eye was wrapped with a bandage, so she was obviously blind in one eye.

The night wind was extremely cold, but the worn-out jacket she was wearing was very thin, with cotton seeping through the patches, and the old man rubbed his hands in the cold.

She just bathed in the lake wind and snow that night, huddled by the fire, squinting her eyes like an old cat.

Bai Lian took out some silver taels and put them on the trolley.

Without waking up the old man, he took out a piece of sweet potato from the stove.

After wrapping it in an oiled paper bag, he folded over and handed it to Su Jing.

Su Jing was holding the roasted hot sweet potato, because it was wrapped tightly with a layer of oil paper bag, it was warm in his palm but not hot.

The hand that was blown cold by the night wind gradually warmed up, and the fingertips that were frozen pale showed a very beautiful light pink.

She looked up at him, "You don't want it?"

Brian only bought one.

"I can't eat this." Bai Lian shook his head and walked a little further.

In the palm of the hand holding the sweet potato, the faint pinkness on the fingertips returned to paleness.

Su Jing followed his back, crossed the broken bridge, and fingered the burnt black and crispy sweet potato skin.

Under the thin layer of skin is the soft and attractive potato meat, and the warm heat made her clear eyes stained with a misty color.

"Speaking of it, it seems that no matter what I look like, Su Jing, you can always recognize me."

Bai Lian walked ahead, but did not hear Su Jing's answer behind him.

He stopped and turned around, only to see that she didn't seem to notice what he was saying, she was lowering her head and concentrating on dealing with the sweet potato in her hand.

The silver taels that Bai Lian left for that grandma were very rich, more than enough to buy her entire stall.

So when picking potatoes, he was not polite, and picked the biggest ones from the inside.

Su Jing's palm-sized face was not as big as the sweet potato in his hand, and he lowered his head and bit into the glutinous red potato meat.

If you are not careful, your nose will be burned by the steaming soft sweet potato meat.

The tip of her delicate and exquisite nose was burned red, she flinched from the pain, her snowy cheeks bulged slightly, she took a few breaths, and continued to bite the fruit in small bites.

Under the influence of the hot mist, it was less cold and distant, and more cute and pitiful.

For some reason, seeing her desolate appearance with the tip of her nose flushed from the heat, the resentment that had been pent up in Bai Li'an's heart also dissipated a bit.

He sighed, and said, "Give me the rest of the Thousand Swords Ten Thousand Cuts Pill."

Su Jing stopped eating the sweet potato, and the tip of his nose was still covered with a lump of soft and sticky mashed sweet potato.

She frowned, as if she was worried about something, but she remained silent.

Mostly because he was worried that he would take the punishment pill again, he just turned around silently, with his back to him, expressing his inner resistance with silence.

Seeing her like this, Bai Lian's anger, which was not easy to suppress, rose again slowly.

He said out of breath, "I'm out of my mind, I won't eat that deadly thing again."

Su Jing turned around slowly, looked at Bai Lian with half of his face, "Really?"

Bai Lian frowned: "If you don't believe me, then you have nothing to say, you go back to the inn..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Miss Jing with a sweet potato bigger than her head floated over like a white ghost.

He quickly took out the familiar small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and put it in Bailian's palm without hesitation.

Bai Lian looked at the woman whose cheeks were completely covered by the big sweet potato and her facial features could not be seen clearly.

I can only vaguely see the two rabbit ears standing up behind the top of the lump of sweet potato shaking nervously in the wind.

"..."

What's the matter with the urge to pinch?

Bai Lian took the porcelain bottle, without saying any nonsense, just smashed it into pieces, and sprinkled it into the lake.

Su Jing wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"There is no one right now, so can you tell me, what are you doing eating this kind of food? Are you looking for abuse?"

"Clap" sound.

The sweet potato in Su Jing's mouth fell to the ground, and she looked at Bai Li'an with frozen eyes.

Bai Lian frowned and stretched out his hand, trying to turn over her sweaty collar.

The hand was halfway out, but the men and women who realized it were taboo, and took it back.

"You don't have a sweaty physique, but I found that when you were at Wangguilou, your shirt was wet with sweat.

Now that you are out of Wanggui Tower, in this cold and snowy night, the sweat on your body has not dried through. If it is not for the abnormal pain in your body, how can you sweat so much? "

Su Jing pursed his lips, silently knelt down to pick up the roasted sweet potato that fell in the grass and mud, and stuffed it into his mouth again.

Bai Lian frowned fiercely again, like educating an ignorant child, she slapped the sweet potato off her hand.

The tone was serious: "Why haven't you changed your bad habit of picking up things on the ground?"

Su Jing rubbed the back of his hand that was red from the slap, and there was a trace of grievance in his clear eyes: "You bought this."

Afraid that she would pick it up again, Bai Lian kicked it into the lake with shaking legs, "If it's dirty, don't want it, I'll buy it for you again."

Su Jing watched him quietly for a long time, his face was still expressionless, and the two ears on the top of his head twitched, "Okay."

Bailian: "..."

Before he knew it, he seemed to have returned to the worrying mode of being Su Jing's father when he was 16 years old.

But he forgot that Su Jing was no longer the ignorant, incapacitated, withdrawn person he was when he was young.

Bai Lian suddenly asked again: "Su Jing, how long have you been self-harming?"

I spent a lot of money to bid for this inhuman forbidden pill.

Su Jing was not someone who poisoned others, but he bought the poison pill and ate it himself. This kind of behavior can basically be regarded as self-mutilation.

And looking at the situation, Li Bansheng knew nothing about his daughter's self-harm.

Su Jing denied it categorically: "You are overthinking, I did not harm myself."

If Bai Lian was so young, he would really believe her nonsense.

Bai Li'an thought he had great endurance, but after eating the pill, he felt that there were countless small knives scraping his intestines, and the pain of cutting out bones and tendons was nothing more than that.

Thinking that such pain would last for a whole month, even he couldn't help feeling a wave of despair.

But at this moment, Su Jing's face remained unchanged and he showed no pain at all. It was obvious that he had been used to it for many years, and he had done such things that harmed his body and mind a lot.

Bai Lian still remembered that when he was in the underground palace of the Demon Realm, he found that Su Jing's perception of pain was particularly slow.

If you endure inhuman torture and physical and mental pain for many years, can you still be a normal person over time?
Bai Lian felt a big headache, "Su Jing, I don't know when you started this behavior, but I hope you can stop as soon as possible.

Maybe you are very secretive and careful, and even your mother didn't notice your crazy behavior.

But what I want to say now is that Taixuanzong is not as safe as you think.

200 years ago, I suspected that there was an internal response from the demon world in your Taixuanzong, but it has never been traced.

Have you ever thought about why the person who poisoned you behind the scenes can be sure that you will use up one today when you took the punishment pill.

If you have not taken this pill today, then the framing by the person behind it will fail.

But he was able to figure out your intention of taking this pill, and he is sure that you will eat one today. "

Su Jing's back felt faintly chilled.

Bai Lian looked solemn: "If you continue to harm yourself, sooner or later you will become a fatal weakness for the enemy to calculate you."

If it wasn't for the person behind the poisoning confessing to death, Su Jing didn't want others to know that she was taking the Thousand Cuts Pill, how could this kind of loopholed situation drive her to such a death?
Su Jing squatted on the ground, but did not get up.

She put her hands on her knees, and her body was slightly curled up, making her look more and more slender and lonely.

The butterfly bones on the back protrude beautifully, and the posture looks a little painful. The moonlight slanted down, making the lonely figure behind her slender and bleak.

A thin layer of smoke gradually formed in her eyes, she slowly hugged her knees, and said in a soft voice, "I just think that pain can make me feel that I am still clearly alive in this world. Thinking like this is not a happy life of cultivation. , can also be easier.

I know that my thoughts are not normal, I have a sick mind. At first, I just used silver needles, and then I used small knives. Gradually, I found that I began to drink poison to quench my thirst, and became dependent and addicted to 'pain'. "

Su Jing's eyes showed a hint of powerless cold self-mockery: "The original intention was to punish myself, but after thinking about it carefully, I chose the most cowardly escape in the end, and used another way to make myself live more comfortably."

"What kind of comfort is this!" Baili'an's heart suddenly surged with unknown anger, and he couldn't help roaring.

The cramping pain in the abdomen also became more and more intense.

The pain in his heart dissipated, and he couldn't hold it back for a while, a fishy sweet feeling came up in his throat, he turned his head and vomited a mouthful of blood, and his breath was churning.

Su Jing was frightened by his appearance, stepped forward to support him, and said with a pale face: "Didn't it mean that corpse poison can resist the power of punishment pill? How can it still hurt?"

Bai Lian gritted his teeth, clear and protruding blue blood vessels could be seen under the pale skin of his neck, he sneered and said:

"Where do so many mutual generation and mutual restraint come from, Fang You is as cunning as an old fox.

Of course he didn't want the emperor's poisoning to spread to Shifang City, but he just followed my words to appease Tan Guangjun. "

Su Jing's eyes were full of confusion and panic, and his face looked paler than his for a moment.

She raised her finger in a daze, trying to wipe off the blood from the corner of his lips, but Bai Lian grabbed her wrist.

He looked at her seriously: "If you dare to harm yourself again and I find out, I will go to your Nanze Mountain and feed all the melons, fruits and vegetables grown at the foot of your mountain to pigs."

Su Jing hummed, but did not tell him that after he died in the cold, she filled that piece of land with her own hands, and never planted her beloved fruits and vegetables in that piece of mountains and rivers again.
