Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 221 Illusion Tour Ziling Cave (4)
"Very good," Sima Jun put away his joking voice, and said seriously, "The contract is complete, and we will be life and death companions in the future, don't forget what you said today!"

I was sneering to myself, "If you want to be with me, it's also with my husband, who wants to be with you, a freak, for life and death?"

At this moment, a gentle female voice came, "Ah Yun, what are you doing?"

We all looked back in surprise, a woman in red with a white mask leading a child in a white mask, followed by two gray-haired samurai wearing white masks.

The woman's mask was engraved with a maple leaf and plum blossom mark on her forehead, her black hair was combed in a high bun, she wore pearl shoes, and she was wearing a fiery red Shu brocade fairy dress with wide sleeves and a silver bone knot tied around her high waist. The belt outlines the graceful figure of the devil, and the exquisite Suzhou embroidery stitches are covered with large passionflowers, entwined with golden threads, magnificent and bright purple, which actually shines with a ghostly magnificence under the dim firelight , even wearing a mask, it is impossible to ignore her nobility.

Seeing me, the child screamed anxiously, shook off the woman's hand, rushed towards me, pushed Sima Yun away, and threw himself into my arms, blocking me, Lan Sheng, and Sima Yun. In the middle, saved us.

It was Xiao Yu, the son of the strange Dark God.

Sima Yun said bitterly in a low voice: "Little Nie Zhan, you are so young that you are so perverted."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed over to the red-robed woman and gave a slight salute, changed his usual arrogant tone, and said softly: "My mother is not well, why did you come out today?"

I quickly helped Lan Sheng up, took out some medicines from my arms, and wanted to put some medicine on his face, but I didn't want Lan Sheng's mouth to bleed. He stood up, but his body wobbled twice, and he fell heavily to sit down again.I was so angry at the moment, but seeing how seriously injured he was, I had no choice but to endure it, and stood beside him again, ignoring his objections, and stuffed a Ganoderma lucidum pill into his mouth.

"Huh? Why did an outsider break in here?"

"Go back to my lord, this is Zhuangzi's third master's bride, and the other is her servant. They were lured by Xuanyuan's letter mouse to the palace. Just now, my son was about to send them both to bliss."

I supported Lan Sheng and glared at Sima Yun, so you were going to kill us just now?

"Third Master? The former Third Master's bride?" The woman asked suspiciously, "Could it be the famous Mrs. Huaxi?"

"Exactly!" Sima Yun turned to us and said calmly, "This is Bengong's mother, why don't you kneel down and pay her respects?"

No one could clearly see how the woman moved. She had already come to me from afar in an instant, and a strong scent of passionflower hit me.I was startled, my legs softened and I was about to fall to the ground, I didn't think that the woman had already moved lightly, came to us, and gently stretched out a slender jade hand to support me, "Madam, don't be too polite .”

On the jade fingers of both hands she was supporting, there were three extremely long gold nail sets inlaid with pearls and gemstones, exuding a gorgeous and lazy atmosphere.She walked around me silently, and then came back to me, as if she was looking at me carefully with her head tilted.

"A pair of beautiful purple pupils, just like the Princess Pingning in that painting." The woman murmured, "How old are you this year? What books have you read?"

She then asked me a bunch of questions, and I answered them slowly, inwardly surprised.I've heard that people in the dark palace hate people in the Yuan clan, but this woman is so polite to me, even a bit like looking for a daughter-in-law.

"Well, she is knowledgeable about books and rituals, not as charming as Concubine Jin." She nodded to me, and gently lifted my hand, "It's a pity, a good face has been ruined, But your makeup is very elegant."

Sima Yun said coldly: "Mother, what are you talking to her about? Please go back first, and wait for the son and minister to end up with the two of you."

"You're messing around again," the woman in red reprimanded in a low voice, "How could you be so rude to Madam Huaxi? Madam, please don't take offense. My son has no shape, and Madam was shocked."

She politely gave way to Xiang Dong, and said: "I heard that Xuanyuan's family has undergone great changes, so let me send you out quickly."

Originally, Lan Sheng was kneeling beside me, bowed his head and raised his eyebrows. When he heard that she asked Sima Yun to send us out, he was obviously relieved, so he raised his head slightly, and the woman in red saw her handsome face. with.

I was about to thank you when a red shadow flew by my ears like the wind. Before I could recover, the woman in red had already appeared in front of Lan Sheng. No matter how good Lan Sheng's kung fu was, she sealed his acupoint instantly. Grab your neck and hold your head up.

"It's you, it's you, you're finally back." The body of the woman in red trembled like a leaf falling in the wind, her honest voice was mixed with surprise and deep sorrow, but her hands were merciless——Lan Sheng's His face was flushed.

From the eye sockets of the cold mask on her face, strings of red teardrops suddenly slid down, dripping down her white cheeks as red as fresh blood.

"Sima Lian!" Finally, she uttered the name sharply, "Traitor, you are finally back."

The two gray-haired warriors standing behind her followed her like a shadow, flew towards Lan Sheng, grabbed Lan Sheng's arm in an instant, and exclaimed: "It really is the former palace lord Sima Lian!"

Lan Sheng was seriously injured, but when he was caught by these two martial arts masters, he even vomited blood.

"Madam, let go. Sima Lian has long since died in the Meiying Villa in the middle of Sichuan," I shouted loudly, "This is my friend. He has been ordained and became a monk. His Dharma name is Master Wuyan. Please don't misidentify me. Madam, please think about it." I think, if Sima Lian is still alive, he must be close to sixty years old," I said hastily, "but he is only in his early twenties. There are similar people everywhere in the world, Madam, don't mistake him and kill a good person in vain."

The woman in red froze there.

One of the samurai said: "Madam Huaxi is right. Ma'am, please look, this monk does have ring scars on his head. The former palace master's heart naturally wouldn't go to become a monk."

Lan Sheng's face turned even paler, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, as if he had suddenly realized, and then there was endless ridicule and hatred, and he said coldly: "I am a hard-working person in Xiguan. It is shameless to take the name of the Dharma, and you must know that the female benefactor is too persistent, and she is prone to delusions."

Not wanting to say this, the woman in red took three steps back and said in panic, "Your real name is Lan Sheng? A Lian, you can read my Sima family biography "Complete Spectrum of Fengxue" at the age of seven, and play "Long Xiang" at the age of ten. "Shou", open the rhythm lock, can open all the organs of the dark palace at the age of 12, and even took me into the Ziling Palace to see Princess Pingning. But you told me, you hate this underground palace, you hate passionflower, you hate Your name. Your favorite flower is actually an orchid. When you gave the gift of the crown, you secretly told me that you gave yourself the small character orchid.

"Because orchids are the flowers of gentlemen, they are respected dignifiedly in the sunny world above, but our Sima clan can only be slaves and servants under this underground palace for generations, so you have broken our oath. At that time, the mausoleum guardian It was my father, you killed him secretly, entered Ziling Palace, and stole the secret treasure, you have such a vicious heart."

The woman in red yelled loudly and kicked Lan Sheng onto the rock wall.Lan Sheng was bleeding profusely, and his peach blossom eyes were ashen.

"Who are you, tell me quickly!" The woman in red yelled sharply, "How dare you disguise yourself as A-Lian and take his name?"

If it was really a piece of useless wood, with the vicious style of the Nether Sect, it would not be so easy to let him live.Maybe they deliberately let me see them turning against Lan Sheng, bullying and abandoning Lan Sheng, so that I can rest assured that Lan Sheng will send me back, and then with Lan Sheng's similar appearance to Sima Lian, they can provoke the Yuan family in the dark palace hate.If this is the case, haven't I been deceived by Lan Sheng until now?

"You Ming Sect, what a vicious heart," Sima Yun said coldly, "I wondered why you looked so familiar. It turned out to be similar to the statue of the former Palace Master. The former Palace Master will always be my pain in the dark palace, you Qian Xin Accompanying her back to the original home with all the pains is just to get into the underground palace, so as to make troubles with similar weight. Mrs. Huaxi, it seems that you were designed by the Nether Sect to return to the original family, so that this traitor can return to the original family. Enter Ziling Palace."

I stared blankly at Lan Sheng, not wanting Lan Sheng to also look at me intently, and said sadly: "Do you think so in your heart?"

I tried my best to stabilize my mind, trying to figure out the cause and effect of the matter, at this moment, Xiao Yu yelled loudly.

The sound of rushing water came to our ears.At the end of the darkness in the distance, the rushing purple water surged madly. Almost at the same time, Lan Sheng, who seemed to be dying, suddenly shot a string of silver needles backhanded at the woman in red.The woman in red was very skilled in martial arts, she pulled out the silver bone whip around her waist to block all the silver needles.At the same time, she retreated to the other side with Xiao Yu, and the two silver-haired warriors also rushed towards her.

The mist rising from Zichuan blocked the sight of both sides. Lan Sheng rushed towards me, grabbed my waist and ran forward.

That Sima Yun pretended to catch us, but when he passed me, he stuffed the reward into my arms, and said in a dark voice: "Don't forget the contract!"

Lan Sheng pulled me forward for an unknown period of time, blood flowed all over the ground, and came to an open place, cross-legged to heal the injury.

While he was recuperating, I walked up to him lightly, looked at his handsome face carefully, and tried my best to search for the appearance of Sima Lian in my vague memory.

The candlelight in the underground palace was endlessly swaying, and the light and shadow swayed on Lan Sheng's facial contours from time to time.He seemed more handsome than when I first met him, and he also had an indescribable sense of familiarity, but I couldn't say which acquaintance he looked like specifically.

The Sima Lian I saw at that time had already been disfigured, and I could only feel a vague resemblance.Could it be that he is really another hidden chess piece of the Nether Sect that wants to destroy the Yuan Clan?Could it be that this young man's protection and support for me along the way was just acting?

When I was lost in thought, Lan Sheng suddenly opened a pair of blood-red eyes and looked at me coldly, as if wanting to pierce into my heart.I was so scared that I fell down in front of him.

"You also think so?" Lan Sheng grabbed my sleeve in time, supported me, and said to me calmly, "I designed it for you, so that I can return to the Yuan clan for revenge?"

I thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "Do you want to listen to the truth?"

Lan Sheng nodded slightly to me with a fixed face.

"The evidence shows that you have ulterior motives in helping me return to Yuanshi," I said quietly, looking into his eyes, "but for some reason, my heart tells me that you are not a bad person, and you did not lie to me or hurt me. Yeah, I find it weird too."

Lan Sheng stared at me for a while, the hostility in his eyes gradually disappeared, and the bloody eyes returned to their original state.

"You are still you, you haven't changed at all," he smiled at me, seemingly relieved, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up on my shoulder, and walked forward without looking back, " It will always be a mystery whether you can survive in this evil original family and in this upside-down chaotic world."

At that time, I followed behind him and thought to myself: You, Lan Sheng, are also a mystery, a mystery that I can never solve with my profound wisdom.

And this mysterious little monk walked in front of him chicly, pressed a stone lotus flower covered by moss on the rock wall, and a secret door opened.

He made a silent gesture to me in front of me, and I followed him and stepped in slowly.

After walking for a while, the sound of wooden objects hitting each other came slowly.There is a light in front of us.Lan Sheng slowly raised a soft curtain—we actually walked out from behind the Babu bed.I recognized this palace as Concubine Li, the Qiwu Hall of Concubine Li.

We were hidden behind the screen, but three steps away, a woman was calmly kneeling in front of the Buddhist altar, chanting sutras and praying. It was Concubine Li.

Concubine Li wore an elegant high bun as usual, and wore a pressed sterling silver phoenix hairpin. A huge fresh peony was inserted obliquely on her temples, called "Luminous Night".

She knelt quietly in front of the Guanyin statue.Some melons, fruits and flowers were placed in front of the shrine, and a low-hanging leather lantern gave off a dim and sad light.Under this light, she held the Buddha beads in her left hand and tapped the nanmu fish lightly with her right hand. Every time she tapped, the leather lamp would tremble slightly, and even the candle flame inside would dance lightly, slowly spreading on her face. A round of light and shadow flowed through, covering her fine lines, but revealing a touch of gentle beauty, but she didn't seem to notice it, just tapping like this one after another.
