A gentleman riding a red dust smile

Huajialing is obviously not a good place to reminisce about the past, and the two returned to a nearby town.

Song Lingshuang did not refuse Changsun Jue's invitation, first went to the place where he stayed and checked out, and then moved to the inn where Changsun Jue was staying.After a lapse of ten years, he was embarrassed to rent a room, so he asked for a room by himself, not far from Changsun Jue's room.

Changsun Jue ordered some food, but Song Lingshuang found that he ordered everything according to his own taste, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

After so long, he still remembered.

Changsun Jue still chewed slowly as before.Although Song Lingshuang had already abandoned the habit of wolfing down food when he was young, he didn't eat as boldly as he usually does, and on the contrary seemed a little reserved.

After the meal, Changsun Jue sent someone to fetch hot water.Song Lingshuang watched him carefully wash and brew the tea, and then pushed the full cup in front of her, feeling a bit out of time and space.He picked up the tea and took a sip, and it was no surprise that it was Biluoxian.

He remembered a stranger who said to himself not long ago, people who can make tea for you will not hate you.

So he laughed, some people have certain things, it seems that no matter how long it takes, it will not change.

Song Lingshuang felt more at ease.

"You are the patriarch of a dignified family, why do you come here when you have time?" Song Lingshuang asked.

Changsun Jue paused and said, "I haven't succeeded to the suzerain yet."

"What?" Song Lingshuang thought he had heard wrong.

"I did not inherit the suzerain position." Changsun Jue said again.

"why?"

Changsun Jue's eyes flickered, and he said, "I will keep my father's filial piety for ten years, and I will succeed to the throne after the filial piety period expires."

Why can't Shouxiao succeed?

Song Lingshuang's next question was already on his lips, but he faltered at the last moment.Because it was related to Master's death, because Changsun Jue didn't seem to want to talk about it, and because he vaguely felt that it might be related to him.

He couldn't ask what he wanted to ask, so he could only say "Oh" in embarrassment.

Changsun Jue saw that he didn't seem to intend to answer, so he returned to the question just now, and told Song Lingshuang the reason why he came here and what he knew and did over the years.

Since the destruction of Fahrenheit, Chizhou has returned to Taiping.Changsun Jue has been looking for clues of the Red Flame Plague.With the help of Ai Zixuan's relationship, he read all the records related to the red flame epidemic in the imperial city.As large as the scale of the epidemic in various places, as small as the testimony of each witness.Then he traveled all over Chizhou, looking for witnesses who witnessed the red flame epidemic back then. On the one hand, he sought to verify what he had read in the royal records, and on the other hand, he was also looking for clues that he missed back then.

His perseverance over the years has allowed him to accomplish an almost impossible thing.

He sorted out a complete timeline about the Red Flame Plague.

Song Lingshuang was dumbfounded after hearing this.

Not to mention that the Red Flame Plague happened more than ten years ago, and the verification records and interviews with witnesses alone are an extremely huge project.Not to mention that the Xia clan in Yinshan was destroyed, and its disciples were all scattered and migrated. It is conceivable how difficult it is to find the person who witnessed the tragedy of Sect Master Xia's family back then.Even if the He family and the Xie family are still around today, most of them keep secret about the events of the past.He had a deep understanding of this when he was inquiring about Taohualing.

What is even more amazing is that the eldest grandson Jue even found the orphans and widows of the He family.The red flame plague completely changed the fate of their mother and child.Back then it was heard that Mrs. He was suffering from insanity, and the child was even a little crazy because of the fright.

"You've even seen He's mother and son, it's really..." Song Lingshuang felt that the word "powerful" was far from enough, and couldn't help but be at a loss for words.

The Fahrenheit family fell, and the He family is now attached to the Xie family.To be able to see their mother and son, to a large extent, the current suzerain He Ling acquiesced because of Xiulian Jun's face.Naturally, these eldest grandsons would not explain further.

Changsun Jue: "These are not important. The important thing is that I have confirmed two things."

Song Lingshuang waited for him to continue.

"First, the place where the red flame plague started was not Yinshan Mountain, but Xiqi." They had doubts about this before, but thanks to the timeline compiled by Changsun Jue over the years, they can finally confirm this point now .

"Secondly, Fahrenheit raised walking corpses. Judging from the time, it should indeed be before the outbreak of the red flame epidemic. But other than that, there is no clue to prove that Fahrenheit has a direct connection with the red flame epidemic."

Chang Sun Jue also mentioned that he had sought help from Qi Huangshan just now, and company commander Sun Jue Qi Huangshan said that there was no clue, which really made people wonder if there was really a connection between the two.

Song Lingshuang finally realized why he met Changsun Jue in Huajialing, "That's why you went to Huajialing?"

Because Brilliance's body is the only connection between the Hua family and Hongyan Plague.

Changsun Jue nodded, "This is the last mystery I haven't been able to solve. If I solve it, I may be able to piece together the whole picture."

Unraveling Brilliance's death was Chang Sun Jue's last step and Song Lingshuang's first step.

So somewhere, they were destined to meet in Huajialing.

In fact, if it was just to break the formation, Changsun Jue didn't need to wait until today.When he came here to check it out a few years ago, he had already confirmed that although the mausoleum protection formation outside the Hua family mausoleum was difficult, it was not unsolvable.The trouble is, this array is connected with a special golden bell array, once the array is broken, those who have the eyes of the array will know it.But even so, there is no need to be afraid, after all, Fahrenheit is no longer there.But the special thing about this Jinling Formation is that once it is triggered, if the corresponding talisman is not performed within the set time, the entire Mausoleum Protecting Formation will collapse on its own, and the Huajialing Mausoleum will also sink into the ground, never seeing the light of day.

So Changsun Jue didn't break the formation hastily, but asked Xie Yilan to get the Fahrenheit talisman.Only with the talisman can we enter Huling Town safely.

When Huashi was wiped out back then, the Xie family contributed the most in supplies and personnel. Under the recommendation of the major families, Mr. Xiulian was responsible for sorting out and distributing the Lingbao handed over by Huashi.Mr. Xiulian strictly notarized, registered and filed all Lingbao, sorted and classified them into usable and unusable ones other than Fahrenheit, and then distributed the usable Lingbao according to the expenditure of each family.Those that are not usable will be sealed and managed by the Xie family in the end, so as not to fall into the wrong hands and follow in the footsteps of Fahrenheit.And this talisman is one of the spirit treasures that cannot be used.

When Changsun Jue arrived at Huajialing, he happened to meet Song Lingshuang looking around the formation.Given the complexity of the mausoleum protection formation, Changsun Jue knew that there were only a handful of monks who could untie the formation except himself, so he was not too worried at first when he saw someone trying to break the formation.On the contrary, he was very curious, who else would want to enter this Huajialing besides himself, could it be a tomb robber who was overwhelmed?

But not long after, Changsun Jue found out that something was wrong.The place where the monk stayed happened to be the key position of the formation. From this point of view, it is really possible for him to break the formation.Once the formation is broken and Huajialing collapses, the things he wants to check will be buried in the ground, so he has no choice but to fly out to stop it.

Speaking of this, Changsun Jue was a little serious, "There is one more thing, I think you should know." He paused, as if hesitant, "This is just my guess, without any direct evidence."

Seeing his expression, Song Lingshuang certainly knew that he was going to talk about something important, but he didn't want him to carry such a heavy burden, so he deliberately laughed and said, "Where are so many hypocrisy, just say it."

Changsun Jue remained silent for a while, took a deep breath imperceptibly, and then said, "I don't think Uncle Song has anything to do with the Red Flame Plague."

After finishing speaking, both of them fell silent, and the silence in the room seemed a bit harsh.

Song Lingshuang had already suppressed his smile at this time, but his expression was still calm.

He sipped his tea and said, "Tell me, you should have your reasons for thinking so."

Changsun Jue: "Father's Ender."

Master's Ender?Song Lingshuang raised his eyes, he... finally found the master's body.

"Father... what he said at the end was, 'Believe in your father'." Changsun Jue said, "For many years, I thought it was my father who made me believe in the choice he made in the end, and told me and my mother not to be suspicious. resentment."

Song Lingshuang looked sad when he heard this.Back then, in order to protect his life, not only did the master die on the cliff of ghosts, but at the last moment of his life, he also wanted his wife and children not to hate him.

Sensing his strangeness, Changsun Jue said softly, "You don't have to feel guilty. What happened back then, no matter whether it was father or mother, no matter who they faced, they would protect you without hesitation. Just like if it was you, seeing that Changsun's family was in danger, I will also do my best. Because we are a family."

Song Lingshuang looked up.Such a warm-spoken grandson Jue made him a little uncomfortable, and it also reminded him of the master's words "Let you have a home to return to".Now hearing the word "home" again, he has a different feeling.He felt warm, so he said thank you frankly.

Changsun Jue nodded and continued, "But I always feel that there is something wrong with what my father said, but I can't figure out why. After thinking about it over the years, I finally understand where this strange feeling comes from." He looked Looking at Song Lingshuang, "I have never called my father 'Daddy' since I was a child. The name is..."

"It's me." Song Lingshuang took Chang Sun Jue's words.

Changsun Jue nodded, "I guess, father's last words were for you. His last thought was to hope that you would trust Uncle Song."

The two fell silent again.

Song Lingshuang: "Master once said that he didn't know the relationship between my father and Red Flame Plague. If Master's last words were true to me, something must have happened on Wangui Cliff that made him change his mind."

Changsun Jue looked over and said, "Do you have a guess?"

Song Lingshuang smiled wryly, "I didn't think about it back then, but after thinking about it for ten years, how could I still not understand it?" He told Changsun Jue about his experience back then, "Don't you think that all this is like a game?"

His expression was much calmer than Changsun Jue expected, "Hua Zhongyang appeared on Yingzhu Peak, and just happened to see me fighting with Master at Wanguiya...Compared with coincidence, I believe this was arranged early in the morning." Even Hua Zhongyang is in this round..." He paused, "On the Cliff of Thousand Ghosts, Master may have guessed who is behind the scenes."

Song Lingshuang replayed the events of that year over and over again in his mind.Some details that he didn't think much about at the moment have also been deliberated thousands of times in his heart.After hearing what Hua Zhongyang said, the master once asked him about Yingzhu Peak.Obviously, Master knows about Yingzhu Peak.

Indeed, although my father said that only the family of three had been to Yingzhu Peak, it is not surprising that he mentioned it to his friends.Since Yingzhu Peak is the place where Dad was looking for a clean place, there must not be many people who have told about it.Master must also be the one who guessed the connection because of this.

It can be seen that this person has a deep friendship with his father and master.

However, Song Lingshuang didn't explain too much to Changsun Jue at this time, but just looked at him with a serious expression.

There are some words that he should have said ten years ago, "There is one thing I have to tell you. I did have a fight with Master and hurt him in Wanguiya. If Master was not injured, it might not be Hua Zhongyang. The opponent of the walking corpse. Therefore, I am not completely unrelated to the death of the master."

He bowed his head, already mentally prepared.Even if Changsun Jue drives him away now, he has no complaints.

It was getting late, the room did not open the window, and the room was already dark.Changsun Jue's fingertips flashed spiritual power, and the oil lamp in the room was lit, reflecting the two of them, adding warmth to the gradually cooling air.

Changsun Jue didn't make him wait too long, and said, "Father was thinking about you before he died. Even he didn't blame you, so how can we blame you?"

Song Lingshuang raised his head and met Changsun Jue's warm gaze, which showed no trace of reproach.Song Lingshuang's gratitude is beyond words.What virtue and ability did he have in his life, to be protected by this family.

Changsun Jue looked at Song Lingshuang, whose eyes were flickering with candlelight, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, "Moved?"

Song Lingshuang nodded frankly.

Changsun Jue asked with a leisurely smile, "Then, how do you thank me?"

This question caught Song Lingshuang unexpectedly, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Changsun Jue leaned over slightly, with a bit of ambiguity in his interesting eyes, "Brother, do you want to promise with your body?"

Song Lingshuang froze on the spot.What did he hear?He must have heard wrong!

He didn't expect that Cheeky Ru would blush one day because of Chang Sun Jue's words, "I...I...I'm sleepy, go back to my room first."

Song Lingshuang rushed out the door and fled in despair.

He returned to the room without turning on the light and plunged into the bed.Only then did he figure out two things.

Changsun Jue actually molested him!

He, Song Lingshuang, was intimidated!

He was flustered for a moment, covered his head and tossed and turned for a while, finally calmed down, and suddenly felt a little lonely.

For people who are more acquainted, ten years will be ten years, and it is impossible that there will be no estrangement.That strange alienation made him dare not be presumptuous in front of Changsun Jue.

He pulled off the quilt covering his face, lay on his back in the dark room, and sighed deeply again...

It was cold at night, but the window of Changsun Jue's room was not closed.

Suddenly there was a soft creaking sound from the window edge, but the owner of the room didn't feel vigilant when he heard the sound.

After a while, there was a faint warmth in the empty space around him.

In the darkness, Song Lingshuang skillfully opened the window to enter the room, and lay down beside someone skillfully.He said softly: "A Jue, I'm back."

This sentence, he was ten years late, and someone waited for ten years.

There was no sound from Changsun Jue. Song Lingshuang thought he was asleep and was about to close his eyes when he heard Changsun Jue ask, "Aren't you leaving?"

Song Lingshuang replied: "Not leaving."

Changsun Jue still turned his back to Song Lingshuang and did not move, but there was a soft "hmm" from the other side.

In the corner where the moon can’t find, the corners of the lips are slightly raised, just like the spring breeze melts away the ice and snow that has accumulated for thousands of years under the abyss, blowing and warming the night where there is only breathing left.
