Dust roots [comprehension]

Song Huaichen suddenly opened his eyes, the pain disappeared, his eyes were clear, fine dust was floating in the attic, the air was sticky and humid, and the sound of rumbling thunder and heavy rain came from outside the window.

There were footsteps coming from outside, with a sense of urgency, and the fluctuation of spiritual power was familiar, it was Lu Tingyun.

Song Huaichen exhaled, lowered the restraint, got up and walked down the attic.

"Brother Song." Hearing the movement, the other party called out from under the stairs, with a clear sense of relief in his voice.

Song Huaichen replied, "I'm awake."

He turned around the corner of the stairs and saw the sword cultivator standing below. Just as a bolt of lightning struck, the strong light illuminated the room, and also illuminated Lu Tingyun's suddenly changed face.

Song Huaichen was about to ask what's wrong, but Lu Tingyun stammered: "You, why is your hair gray?"

Song Huaichen was taken aback, and reached out to brush his hair. The attic in the rainstorm was extremely dark, but with the eyesight of a monk, how could he not be able to distinguish the colors?

That strand of hair was as white as snow.

Song Huaichen suddenly thought of the five declines of heaven and man in the illusion, but he didn't dare to say these four words at the moment, Lu Tingyun obviously couldn't stand any jokes.

Song Huaichen asked, "Is it ugly?"

"No..." Lu Tingyun answered subconsciously, and then realized, "It's not a question of whether it's ugly or not—"

Song Huaichen interrupted him, walked down the stairs, and stood face to face with him: "I also had gray hair in Yingshan Lake, but it also turned black. Now I am still awake, and naturally I will recover one day."

Lu Tingyun was still worried, and stretched out his hand to hold Song Huaichen's arm, as if he was afraid that he would fall on the ground, holding it very hard: "But why? Why did your hair turn white?"

He recalled the past: "Is it because I used a puppet?"

"Then it comes back to whether it is because I am a fake baby that caused different problems." Song Huaichen pressed the hand that landed on Lu Tingyun's arm with his other hand, and the temperature of his palm was transmitted to the back of Lu Tingyun's hand, It is silent comfort.

"Where's your sword? Has it fallen?"

Song Huaichen walked towards the main hall, Lu Tingyun followed step by step, and was pushed on the chair by Song Huaichen.

"No." Lu Tingyun relaxed his grip, but still refused to let go of Song Huaichen, "I can feel it, but there is something between us, so I can't determine the exact location, I'm afraid my sword is sealed in some kind of restriction. "

"Is Chi Gu unwilling to tell, or can't tell?" Song Huaichen continued to ask.

He didn't ask where Huang Yaoshi was, didn't ask if Lu Tingyun came back first, and why he came back first.

Because the answer is obvious, it will be more reassuring not to tell the truth.

"I'm afraid he's not a flower picker." Lu Tingyun replied, "We all think so. Di Rongshan is going to interrogate him publicly—between the representatives of the aristocratic family and the representatives of the Eight Sects."

Gathering the wisdom of all people, it is better to ask the flaws, and the liars are at a loss for words when they ask.

Song Huaichen also sat down, he imagined the worst plan: "What if Chi Gu doesn't say anything?"

"Then use Soul Search on him."

Soul search is not a secret technique, but because it allows outsiders to see the monk's truest memory, it has a side effect - it will destroy the monk's sea of ​​consciousness, so it is sealed as a forbidden technique.

When Lu Tingyun mentioned the forbidden technique, Song Huaichen was not moved. He thought, "I think Di Rongshan's purpose of public interrogation is to cast a line for fishing."

Lu Tingyun could also tell: "If Chi Gu is really not a flower picker, the people he protects are very likely to come to save him."

Song Huaichen asked him the reason for his judgment: "Because the flower picker hasn't really hurt anyone so far?"

Lu Tingyun nodded: "That's right. Chi Gu is not a flower picker, but he must know the inside story. His friendship with a real flower picker is not ordinary. The reason he said is probably true."

Because the world does not tolerate what I want, I want revenge.

"A hateful person must have pity." Song Huaichen muttered, "When will the interrogation start?"

"Tomorrow." Tomorrow is a special day, "Pingyang lifts the ban."

A torrent of rain fell hard and stopped quickly.When Huang Yaoshi came back, the dark clouds had dissipated, and the exposed moon shone brightly on the ground. When he saw Song Huaichen, the first thing he said was: "Why is your hair white?" In , the diagnosis of "no problem" is given.

Song Huaichen withdrew his hand: "I know my own body." He didn't feel any discomfort, his hair was inexplicably white, he couldn't see it and didn't think there was something wrong with it, so he simply didn't take it to heart.

However, Lu Tingyun couldn't lightly expose this matter. Song Huaichen's white hair made him uneasy, reminded him of the long wait of half a year, and at the same time gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, which deepened his sense of familiarity. disturbed.

"It's impossible to have gray hair for no reason." Lu Tingyun said in a low voice, but because Song Huaichen obviously didn't want to get entangled in this topic, he immediately changed his tone and asked Huang Yaoshi, "Is there any progress?"

"Di Rongshan asked me to get Chi Gu's pulse. He probably wanted to see if Chi Gu had the same Gu poison as Lu Tingyun."

When Lu Tingyun was arrested, he saw Chi Gu in the carriage.Lu Tingyun forgot to mention this when Chi Gu claimed that Chen was a flower picker. When Huang Yaoshi remembered, it was already the time when Di Rongshan asked him to feel his pulse.

"That's why I think Di Rongshan is really shrewd." The city lord of Pingyang didn't let go of any possibility, looking for clues around the corner.

However, there was no silk reeling on Chi Gu's body, but there were traces of being drugged.

Then, when the eight sects were discussing matters, Elder Jinguyuan and his junior disciples talked together and said in unison that he accidentally inhaled the drug and fell asleep, which is the truth.

Since he was unconscious, how could he be a flower picker?

"Di Rongshan has already spread the news, and now the Eight Sects and the families should have received the news." Huang Yaoshi looked at the sky, "Pingyang City Lord personally guards Chigu, and the trial will start at dawn. By the way, He reserved three seats for us."

They are also considered parties now, and it is reasonable to keep these three positions.

Song Huaichen smiled: "Let's wait and see." Although it was reasonable, Di Rongshan's purpose of approaching them at the beginning has not been revealed until today, or the answer to the mystery will be revealed at dawn tomorrow.

The news sent by the city lord of Pingyang reached everyone who needed to know, and the undercurrent in Pingyang city was raging.

There was no one practicing in the small dim sum shop, Lu Tingyun took Huang Yaoshi away and formed a barrier on the flat stone in the backyard, the two of them discussed something quietly.The enchantment is not to prevent Song Huaichen, but to prevent Yunzhi.Ganoderma lucidum meditated among the plants, so quiet that it seemed as if it didn't notice anything.

Their actions did not avoid Song Huaichen, and Song Huaichen also knew that the two of them were probably discussing themselves, more precisely, their hair.

Song Huaichen, who suddenly turned white, manipulated the puppets and noodles, wondering if they would still mention Yingshan Lake and Ah Wan.He thought about what kind of cover-up could turn his hair back to black, but before he did it, he felt that it was unnecessary.Huang Yaoshi couldn't hide the formation of the fake baby's cultivation base, and the fake changes couldn't make them feel at ease.

Moreover.

Song Huaichen looked at his own reflection in the water tank.

White hair isn't ugly, is it?

With white clothes and white hair, he looks like a legendary sword fairy.

Ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, and the barrier of the dim sum shop was touched, and someone shouted outside: "Is anyone there? I am Daoichi Jinguyuan, can, can you open the door for me!"

Song Huaichen let the puppet return to its place, and then opened the door: "What's the matter?"

Seeing the white-haired Song Huaichen Daoyi, he was stunned for a moment, he quickly came back to his senses, and then he knelt down straight to Song Huaichen, Song Huaichen hurriedly took a step sideways, not accepting his great gift.Huang Yaoshi Lu Tingyun, who noticed the movement and came to the front, also saw Daoyi's movements clearly.

Lu Tingyun and Daoyi were considered to be of the same age, he rushed forward to help him up: "What are you doing?! Get up first!"

But Dao Yi knelt down determinedly, but refused to get up: "Senior brother Chi Gu is definitely not a flower picker! All the senior brothers and I can prove it!"

Lu Tingyun shouted at him: "Since you can prove it, what are you doing now?!"

"We can prove that Senior Uncle Dante's attitude is vague. He may not be willing to speak up for Senior Brother, and I and other Senior Brothers are not qualified to attend, so I can only ask three of you. Please return my Senior Brother's innocence!"

"Why is Elder Ding unwilling to speak?" Lu Tingyun didn't understand.

"Senior brother Chigu is good at alchemy, and Jinguyuan is a vassal of Pharmacist Valley. There are rumors that after getting married with Tayuelou, senior brother will leave Jinguyuan and enter Pharmacist Valley to study alchemy. He is dead, so some elders are not very concerned about him recently."

"Is this considered to be able to worship the master twice?" Even if Song Huaichen has crossed three worlds, he has only worshiped one master seriously. The cultivation world attaches great importance to the inheritance of master and apprentice, and it has never been heard that he can join another sect, and he is not a disciple. .

"It's okay between Jinguyuan and Pharmacist's Valley." These two sects have a deep relationship, and they couldn't explain clearly for a while, so Lu Tingyun simply said the conclusion.But even so, Dao Yi's words still don't make sense, "Even so, Chi Gu still wants to call Jingu Yuan his teacher. Elder Ding doesn't seem like a narrow-minded person."

"What the elder thinks, we disciples can't figure it out." Dao Yi whispered, "I just want to do my best to help Senior Brother Chi Gu."

Huang Yaoshi asked, "Where's your evidence?"

This is in response to Dao Yi's request. The young man's eyes lit up, he spoke more confidently, and his voice became louder: "Senior Brother Chi Gu looks good. After the flower picker appeared, we never let him act alone. When the Flower Picker took action several times, someone could prove what he was doing there, and he definitely did not do that shameful thing!"
