after i found out my new wife was a man

In order to welcome Xie Shuhan, when the sky was getting dark, Xie's family held a family banquet.

He Yaoqing wore a light blue dress tonight, covered with tulle. Of course he was sitting at the top, but his brows were slightly frowning. His face was not much better than that of Xie Shuhan who was sitting at the bottom. discomfort.

He watched that uncle from the Xie family getting along with everyone, but he felt a little interesting, thinking that they were all blood relatives, but even with Xie Hou, both parties were more polite than intimacy.

But if there is a suspicion, Xie Hou will definitely not send his two sons to Yanyang, even if it is only for more than a month.

Xie Ling and sitting down were also looking at him, not showing it on his face, feeling a little helpless in his heart.

He Yaoqing's appearance was of course pretending, Xie Lingyu couldn't help shaking his head with a smile as he thought about how this person asked himself righteously, "What am I going to do, sit on the top seat, and see you guys talking stiffly?"

And ever since the family banquet started, for some reason, Xie Shuhan fixed his eyes slightly the first time he saw He Yaoqing, and then pondered for a while. At this moment, he looked at Xie Lingyu's expression again, rubbed his fingertips, and then suddenly He raised his cup to He Yaoqing.

"After returning to the mansion, I didn't meet the eldest princess first, so I will punish myself with a cup first, and I hope His Highness will forgive me."

As soon as these words came out, not only He Yaoqing, but even the others were taken aback for a moment.

He Yao came back to his senses, and then smiled lightly. Of course he wouldn't drink this glass of wine, but before he could speak, Xie Lingyu spoke out first.

"Uncle, can't you drink alcohol? We are all a family, so there are so many rules. Besides, you have a hard journey, and you just arrived today, so you still have to put your health first."

Xie Shuhan didn't show any expression on his face, but there seemed to be a bit of teasing in his words: "I think it's not me who you really want to say and are worried about?"

Xie Ling felt a little embarrassed with his smile: "Of course there are."

"Okay, no matter whether it is Yaoqing or you, you are not allowed to drink today," Xie Houye took back the cup in Xie Shuhan's hand, and said again, "Ling Yu is right, the road has been bumpy for so long, and everything is going to be difficult." Put your body first."

Madam Xie also nodded and said in agreement: "It coincides with the change of seasons, so we should pay more attention."

Even Xie Mingyuan, who stayed by his elder brother's side and kept silent all this time, nodded his head. Xie Shuhan's smile was still gentle and elegant, and he responded with a nod: "I was thinking about it."

Then never mention it again.

But when He Yaoqing looked at him, he suddenly felt a little weird, but this feeling passed in a flash, and then he couldn't grasp it anymore, it seemed like it was just an illusion.

——And at the time of this family banquet, at a deserted temple about a hundred miles away from the capital, a figure got off his horse.

This person was carrying a bag behind him, but it was Xu Yaoling.

Maybe it was because my heart was too messy, and when I came back to my senses, the sky had already darkened, and I only met this ruined temple after traveling for a long time, so I could only stay here for one night first.

The gate of the temple was crumbling, Xu Yaoling knocked on the door, waited for a while but no one answered, took out a fire pocket to polish it, and then gently pushed the door open.

The stench and musty smell rushed towards the face, and the dust raised made Xu Yaoling frown slightly. Looking around, there were cobwebs everywhere, and everything was dilapidated.

But the sky was getting darker, and it was really impossible to continue driving in the wilderness, so Xu Yaoling could only walk in, thinking that no matter what, he would spend the night first and leave early tomorrow morning.

Reflecting the faint light from the torch in his hand, he randomly tidied up a slightly cleaner place, and then sat down.

Xu Yaoling closed his eyes lightly, listening to the howling wind outside the temple.

Until now, as long as he closes his eyes, he can still feel the dark red blood rushing up all over his body, with the turbulent fishy smell pouring from all directions, but it makes him nostalgic even more.

Just because Xu Yaoling knew that it was all the blood shed from the body of the closest relatives.

I don't know how long it has been, but this blood has been with him, accompanying him through every long night when he opened his eyes until dawn, and it is the same tonight.

The temple is too dilapidated and can't keep out much wind and rain. When the wind blows, the windows and doors rattle. When the temple was not abandoned, the incense probably wouldn't be very good.

Because the place is small and cramped, the shabbiness of the past can be seen through the thick dust. There is only one Buddha statue enshrined before the altar, which looks a bit tall against the surroundings.

The Buddha statue was dilapidated, and the varnish had long since peeled off, revealing the gray inside, but it was still intact. Xu Yaoling raised his head to look at it, reflecting the dim light of the fire, but the expression of the Buddha statue was no longer compassionate. The rage and teasing come out.

The candle on the altar table was overturned, and the dust accumulated was as thick as a finger, but there was something standing in the center, Xu Yaoling looked carefully for a long time before realizing that it turned out to be a statue of Avalokitesvara.

Regardless of how much incense was used in this temple, the layout is really "unique". Xu Yaoling has never heard of any temple that would put the Guanyin statue directly on the altar.

Probably to pass the long night, he got up and walked to the altar.

This Guanyin statue is about four feet high, and it is almost rotten into a ball of mud. It doesn't look like it used to be at all. The right arm that was supposed to hold the willow branch is nowhere to be seen, but the left hand is still firmly holding the clean bottle, inside the clean bottle , You can also see the clear and almost overflowing "water of nectar".

Xu Yaoling was stunned for a moment, then took a step back abruptly, holding the sword at his waist with his right hand.

——This temple has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no trace of anyone visiting it. Even the Guanyin statue is rotten. How could there be overflowing clear water in the clean bottle! ?

Xu Yaoling's eyes were full of vigilance, and he raised his eyes and looked around measuredly, but no matter where he was, he couldn't see even the slightest bit of weirdness.

Avalokitesvara stood there quietly in front of him, as if laughing at his frightened demeanor.

Xu Yaoling looked around again, then frowned and looked carefully, and then went around to the side, only to vaguely see the broken right arm of the Avalokitesvara, and there seemed to be something hidden inside.

He hesitated for a moment, then cautiously reached out.

——but it was a neatly rolled piece of paper.

Xu Yaoling looked at the letter paper, and suddenly had a feeling that he didn't get into some game by mistake, and this thing must be prepared for him.

And the scene at this moment reveals an indescribable weirdness, Xu Yaoling knows that what she should do most now is to throw down the letter and walk out of the ruined temple, even if it is dangerous at night, it is better than staying in this weird place everywhere Not a lot.

But as if it was an inescapable fate, he stared straight at the letter in his hand, and after a long time, he finally unfolded it slowly.

And the first sentence that came into his head made him clenched his fists instantly.

Then slowly, bloodshots appeared in his eyes, and the bloodshots became more and more, and finally condensed into a dense blood-red spider web.

Xu Yaoling raised his head abruptly, his eyes were already blood red, and the veins in his hands were bulging, as if he could crush the letter.

He suddenly felt dizzy and suffocated in his chest. He bent down uncontrollably to hold the altar, and took a few deep breaths.

Under his strength, the altar table made a soft sound, as if it would fall apart in an instant, Xu Yaoling paused for a moment, then slowly turned his head, and finally looked at the clean bottle held in the hands of the Avalokitesvara statue.

The last sentence on the letterhead - "As long as you drink the water in this clean bottle, someone will appear immediately to help you accomplish your task."

... As long as I drink up this water, someone will help me do it.

The water was so clear that it didn't seem to contain any impurities, and the waves that had been stirred up just now hadn't calmed down yet.

Xu Yaoling shivered abruptly.

He didn't know if what was in the letter was true, but after drinking this water, he must have put his life in the hands of others, Xu Yaoling closed his eyes tightly, as if desperately trying to convince himself.

The people behind the scenes were timid and never showed up, just relying on the words of the family may not be true. Who knows what is in this clean bottle, and it is unknown whether they will die immediately after drinking it. The Xu family is left alone...

Xu Yaoling opened his eyes, they were so red that they could drip blood directly.

——But if everything in this letter is true, if everything in this letter is true...

As if being haunted, Xu Yaoling finally stepped forward slowly, and stretched out his hand towards the bottle.

The movement of raising his head to drink was slow, but without hesitation, Xu Yaoling only felt a chill in his chest, and in an instant it was covered with heat and it was extremely hot.

He coughed a few times, as if there was a gust of wind blowing behind him, when the dust settled, a man stood up, this man saluted slightly, and said in an old and calm voice, "By order of the Lord, I am here to clear up your doubts."

This man's face is full of dimples, his figure is a bit hunched, but his face is very familiar, but it is Fang Bo!
