Chapter 108

Perhaps the fragrance of tea is relaxing, and perhaps the voice of Yiqingjue is intoxicating, but Yu Tianqing fell asleep amidst Yiqingjue's words like clouds and water.And she slept so sweetly that when she woke up, things were already different.

The dim light came from an oil lamp at the foot, and the oil lamp danced and flickered with the slight wind.

There is the sound of gurgling water.

The shaking under the body is steady and regular.

Yu Tianqing rubbed her swollen temples and sat up slowly.She opened the curtain, the moonlight was like water, covering the lake, and everything she saw was silvery white.

There was an old man sitting on the bow of the boat. He arched his back and bowed his head. Who was it?At this time, he was paddling the oars in his hand one after another, looking very lazy, but the boat was moving forward at a constant speed.

Yu Tianqing did not expect that he would follow the Master's way.

"Master Chang, where are you taking me?"

"Get out of misery."

Yu Tianqing said, "Master is still here, I can't leave."

Chang Buyun said, "Then you have to go and tell the master."

If Yiqingjue was willing to keep her, how could he send her away in this way.

Yu Tianqing sighed and said, "Master Chang, Master needs me, and the rest of the people also need me. I'm here to help Master."

Chang Buyun said flatly, "I know."

"Then you still want to send me away?"

Chang Buyun said as it should, "Of course, this is the order of the master. If you don't obey, go and argue with the master."

"..."

Yu Tianqing knew that there was no way she could persuade this stubborn old man.

She sat quietly on the bow of the boat, looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky, feeling the silence at this moment.

Chang Buyun continued to lower his head and rowed his oars slowly. The sound of the lake being rolled up became the only sound at this time.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Tianqing couldn't help saying, "It's really quiet here."

Chang Buyun said, "There is no human habitation, so it is naturally quiet."

Looking at the darkness on both sides of the river, Yu Tianqing sighed, "In the world, there is such a place without noise."

With a muddy voice, Chang Buyun said slowly, "It didn't exist in the first place, but now it does."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Chang Buyun raised his eyes, under the moonlight, these eyes looked particularly bleak, and his voice was extremely deep, "Because, everyone is dead."

Yu Tianqing was shocked immediately.

Such words, such tone, were too heavy, as if her heart was suddenly pressed against a stone, heavy.

Chang Buyun said softly, "This river is called Wuyou River."

Yu Tianqing's breath became short, and suddenly her nose felt sore, "...a nice name."

"Indeed, in the past, both sides of the river were full of women who came to wash clothes, and their laughter could often be heard. They talked about their children and men, made fun of each other, and helped each other. This is the only thing in a difficult situation. Joyfully. Now, listen to..."

Both Yu Tianqing and Chang Buyun were silent for a while.

Chang Buyun said, "Did you hear that?"

"what?"

"The whine of the soul..."

Yu Tianqing fell silent.After a while, she asked hoarsely, "What happened here?"

Chang Buyun said, "A few months ago, everyone here was taken away overnight, and they never came back."

Yu Tianqing suddenly asked in surprise, "Abducted? By whom?"

Chang Buyun said, "I don't know."

"I don't know? Why don't you know?" Yu Tianqing exclaimed in surprise, "So many people disappeared overnight, could it be that ghosts came and took them away?"

Chang Buyun hoarsely said, "Maybe it's a ghost."

Yu Tianqing asked again, "Then how do you know that they are all dead?"

Chang Buyun said, "Because their bodies were all thrown into Xifengdu, and they were bleeding from seven holes."

Even though Chang Buyun's voice had become extremely calm, Yu Tianqing still felt the unimaginable tragedy in his heart.Her heart suddenly trembled, "So many people died like this, so there is no clue?"

Chang Buyun said, "Maybe there is."

"Why do you say maybe?"

"Because no one will care whether there are clues or not."

"Why? What about Peng Zemu? Isn't he the lord of the miserable situation? Doesn't he care about his people?"

Chang Buyun said, "The war is imminent, and who cares about the life and death of ordinary people?"

Yu Tianqing shook her head and murmured, "It shouldn't be like this."

Chang Buyun was still so calm, "The life of a person in a difficult situation is not worth mentioning."

"No, that's not the case. Life is priceless, everyone is equal, how could it be worthless."

"The so-called value is the recognition of others. If no one thinks your life is important, it is naturally not worth mentioning."

Yu Tianqing said in a deep voice, "If a person refuses to respect the lives of others, then he must treat his own life carelessly."

Chang Buyun said, "Your statement is novel."

Yu Tianqing said, "That's the truth. Whatever you are willing to give, Void will reward you in the same way."

"It's a pity." Chang Buyun sighed, "In this world, there are almost no people who are willing to believe in the so-called 'emptiness' you mentioned."

"It doesn't matter." Yu Tianqing said, "They don't believe in the so-called 'empty space', but they will believe that heaven will pay you back."

While speaking, the boat sailed past the turn, and his eyes suddenly lit up.A handful of torches shone under the night, like clusters of will-o'-the-wisps, dancing ghostly shadows on everyone's faces.

Yu Tianqing looked around at these strange faces, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Those who held the torches were silent, and after a while, the torches in the middle scattered to both sides, making way for a way.

A man waving a feather fan came out slowly. He was dressed gorgeously. Under the firelight, the little jade beads inlaid on his clothes reflected a low-key brilliance.

"Tsk tsk..." The man's voice contained a bit of teasing, "The moonlight is like water, and a beautiful woman is like a dream. Such a beautiful day, it's really a beautiful girl like you to spend time with a withered old man." What a waste, what a pity, what a pity!"

Three points joking, seven points teasing, such an unscrupulous appearance seemed somewhat familiar in Yu Tianqing's memory.

"Who are you?"

Hearing Yu Tianqing's question, the man seemed to be slightly sad and said, "Miss Yu, although it's been more than half a year since Dao Zhenzong said goodbye, you are still too ruthless, so you don't remember me?"

A little reminder made Yu Tianqing realize suddenly.This person is the one who worked with Bai Yunshen to solve Dao Zhenzong's troubles.
