A gentleman riding a red dust smile

Song Lingshuang first found a pair of black steel armor in the wooden cabinet in Changsun Jue's room.

This dark steel armor is not armor, but soft armor.It is woven from extremely fine black steel wire, soft and light, and can be worn under a coat. It is not as bulky as ordinary armor, but its toughness is as strong as it is.

Many years ago, he just said it casually, but this person took it seriously.

It turned out that it was not the first time for him to return to the old place when he went to the Amethyst Cave.

Ah Jue, Ah Jue, you have to change your habit of holding back and not saying anything in the future!

Then Song Lingshuang went to the tea room.

He was very puzzled at first, why Changsun Jue didn't build the tea room in the inner courtyard, but in this place far away from his own residence.Until he entered the tea room and made tea, he felt as if he understood.

The tea room is more than ten feet away from the shore, and is connected to the shore through a trestle bridge.But it is not so much a tea room as a tea pavilion.This square of heaven and earth is covered with bamboo and rattan, and curtains are used as walls.The nearby lake is shimmering, and the distant disciples are reading loudly. It is quiet but not quiet, clear but not crowded. It is a good place for peace of mind.

There are various tea pots in the tea room, and Song Lingshuang has never heard of the names of many teas, so he chose the well-known Biluoxian.

He took a sip of his tea and thought, if it wasn't for the chat with Changsun Fu that day, he might already be on his way to Zinghe at this moment.

Ai Zixuan discovered the secret of Anshenxiang in Zhehe River that day, so he went to find Granny Ying before leaving to rob his relatives.He took out Granny Ying's soul shadow, and also learned about the unknown past that Mr. Xiulian wanted Granny Ying to forget.

Originally, he didn't have too many associations, but in the underground of the palace, what Chang Yuan said to Concubine Xie made Song Lingshuang brood.

Hua Yunzheng broke the clues when he chased the imperial city. He was assassinated in the royal secret room, and he couldn't help thinking about the series of actions of the royal family after the barrier of the imperial city was broken.

He seems to have grasped the end of the thread, and the key to the end of the thread may be hidden in Granny Ying's memory.Those memories are irrelevant to Granny Ying, so they cannot be obtained through soul shadows, and it is also because of this that he asked Changsun Jue about the soul search technique.

He has vendettas, bloody vendettas.

But he also has a person who he doesn't want to bear again in this life.

His attachment to the past had caused that person to suffer a lot. This time, he wanted to cherish his promise to the person in front of him.

So even if what he wanted was close at hand, he decided to let it go.As it is now, there is nothing wrong with drinking his favorite tea and waiting for him to break through and leave the customs.

Song Lingshuang really planned this way, but this peace was broken in the early morning of the second day of Changsun Jue's retreat.Because, he saw an old friend who should not have seen in Luhuadang.

Song Lingshuang naturally remembered Xie Yizhu.Although they had only met a few times, Song Lingshuang had a good impression of the second Miss Xie.It's just that there was a robbery after all, so when Zhang Sunyu told Song Lingshuang that she was coming, Song Lingshuang's first reaction was that she came to complain for her sister.Apparently Chang Sun Yu thought so too, so he went to help him block first.

However, Xie Yizhu, who was standing in front of Song Lingshuang at the moment, did not seem to come to denounce, as Zhang Sunyu said, but seemed to be begging for something urgent.

The last time Song Lingshuang saw Xie Yizhu was when she was eight years old, and now she is already a young girl.If Xie Yilan's good looks are the dignity and generosity of a lady, then Xie Yizhu's good looks are smart and sassy.

"Ah Jue is in retreat." Song Lingshuang said.

Xie Yizhu glanced at Zhang Sunyu, "I know, he said it."

Song Lingshuang: "Then why is Second Miss Xie here?"

Xie Yizhu glanced at Zhang Sunyu again.

Song Lingshuang understood, and said, "Lao Qi, go and do your work first, as long as I'm here."

Zhang Sunyu looked at this unknown girl worriedly, but nodded obediently.

Song Lingshuang: "Can we talk now?"

Xie Yizhu said without any foreshadowing: "Follow me to Taohualing, Mr. Chang has been locked up by my father!"

Song Lingshuang: "..."

Xie Yizhu: "What are you doing in a daze? Follow me to save people!"

Why did Mr. Chang go to Taohualing?And why did Xie Tong go to Changyuan?This sudden news seemed to confirm Song Lingshuang's conjecture, but he still asked, "Why did your father imprison Mr. Chang?"

Xie Yizhu spoke confidently, "How would I know! Follow me to save people!"

Song Lingshuang has a lot to consider at this moment, but it is about Chang Yuan, so he can't stay out of it, "If you really beg me, then tell me the cause and effect."

Xie Yizhu sighed, as if saying, "Why is it so troublesome." But he still held his temper and told the whole story.

It turned out that Xie Yizhu sneaked into Mr. Xiulian's study because he lost a pair of calligraphy and calligraphy from his father because of a bet with his seniors, intending to get a pair of signed calligraphy and paintings.

But the calligraphy and painting were not found, but the owner of the calligraphy and painting suddenly came in.In desperation, she had no choice but to hide under the table.Because of this, when Chang Yuan broke into Mr. Xiulian's study, she was still hiding under the table, thus hearing everything.

Xie Yizhu didn't know how Chang Yuan avoided the eyes of everyone and broke into Xie Erdang's study as if there was no one else around, but Song Lingshuang vaguely guessed the reason.

Chang Yuan studied alchemy in Taohualing in his early years, and has a very close relationship with Xie Tong Xie Tang. It is not impossible to enter Xie Tong's study room without being discovered.

"Mr. Chang got angry at Dad for no reason, and a group of guards in black came in. They looked very powerful. Mr. Chang's cultivation base is so high, but they tied Mr. Chang in two or three."

After the incident, Xie Yizhu went to find Ai Zixuan first, but Ai Zixuan was not there.Over the years, Xie Yizhu also knew that Ai Zixuan and Changsun Jue had a good relationship, so he came all the way to ask Changsun Jue for help. Unexpectedly, he ran into Changsun Jue's retreat again, and found Song Lingshuang in desperation.

Song Lingshuang: "What did Mr. Chang tell your father?"

Xie Yizhu said impatiently, "Is it important what you said? I didn't understand the mess. Mr. Fanfan was very angry and kept blaming my dad. Later, my dad was also very excited, and then the man in black came. I thought Dad was just angry for a while, but I followed them secretly and saw that they took Mr. Chang to Siguo Peak."

Song Lingshuang: "Si Guofeng?"

Xie Yizhu: "It's the Xie family's forbidden place, which is used to imprison prisoners. I sneaked in there before, and there was a cage made of a magic circle inside. I think it's very unusual for Dad to lock Mr. Chang there."

This girl didn't take the trespassing seriously, but she was somewhat similar to herself when she was a child.Song Lingshuang thought for a while, and then asked, "Have you seen clearly what kind of man in black is helping your father catch Mr. Chang?"

"A man in black is a man in black. What else can he have? His whole body is black and black, with unfamiliar faces. I have never seen it before." Xie Yizhu was a little anxious, "Are you following me or not?" Save people?"

Even if Song Lingshuang had doubts about the relationship between Chang Yuan and the Red Flame Plague back then, it was not completely cleared up during the chaos in the imperial city.In this way, Chang Yuan is not only the savior of himself and Changsun Jue, but also the mentor of the savior Ai Zixuan, and there is no reason to stand idly by anyway.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Song Lingshuang said decisively.

Xie Yizhu immediately prepared Yujian, "Then let's go now!"

Song Lingshuang habitually wanted to hitch a ride, but suddenly remembered that on the way to Luhuadang some time ago, whenever a girl took a second look at him, Changsun Jue would make fun of him for a long time.

Having a jealous daughter-in-law is really unbearable...

He was a little embarrassed, "You wait for me outside the door, I will come right away." After saying that, he hurried back to the room and found a sword casually.

As soon as he went out, Changsun Fu stood in front of him.Needless to say, Lao Qi had already reported to him.

"You promised to wait for him to leave the customs." Changsun Fu looked at Song Lingshuang with a gloomy expression.

Song Lingshuang pretended to be relaxed, and joked: "The habit of listening to the corner is not good."

Changsun Fu was still unsmiling, and said seriously: "I just heard it just by chance, and I didn't mean it."

Thinking of the quarrel between the two when they were young, Song Lingshuang couldn't help but sigh, the person in front of him didn't have the slightest shadow of the elder Sun Fu.

"You can't even joke, it's boring!" Song Lingshuang looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back before he leaves the customs."

Changsun Fu stared at him, but still did not move away.

Song Lingshuang looked a little apprehensive at him, patted him on the shoulder, looked at him and said again seriously, "I said wait for him, and I will definitely come back."

Changsun Fu was silent for a moment, and finally backed down, "Don't let him down again."

This trip was in a hurry to save people, not to mention that Song Lingshuang had to go early and return early, and almost the whole way to Taohualing was guarding the sword.Xie Yizhu wanted to go to the city to have a meal, but Song Lingshuang refused, so he just found some wild fruits to wrap his stomach while resting along the way.

Song Lingshuang looked at Xie Yizhu who was standing aside, wiped the wild fruit in his hands, and asked, "Did you really not understand what Mr. Chang said to your father?"

Xie Yizhu froze, then continued to eat the fruit without speaking.

Song Lingshuang thought she was not going to answer, but heard her say, "Mr. Chang said that my aunt's death was caused by my father..."

Song Lingshuang heard some confusion and a little choked up in her words.He remembered that Xie Yizhu once told him that when she was a child, she was fostered with Concubine Xie, and her relationship with Concubine Xie must be very close.

"But I think there must be some misunderstanding." Xie Yizhu put down the half-eaten fruit.

Song Lingshuang didn't answer for a long time. He had his own guesses, but he didn't think he should hurt the little girl's heart.

"Maybe there are some things, it's better not to know." Song Lingshuang said.

Xie Yizhu turned to look at him, and said seriously, "Your words are wrong. Know it, think about it carefully, and discern it. Only by knowing can you tell right from wrong, and you can do the right thing. How can you pretend to be deaf and dumb to deceive yourself?"

Song Lingshuang was stunned, looked at her for a while, and said, "Miss Xie Er, I promise you to save people. Can you promise me something too?"

Xie Yizhu: "Say."

Song Lingshuang: "No matter what happens in the future, you must maintain this original aspiration."

Xie Yizhu looked puzzled, and finally said, "It's inexplicable."

The two arrived at Taohualing that night.

In the dead of night, it was convenient for Xie Yizhu to hide Song Lingshuang up the mountain.

Follow Xie Yizhu into the peach blossom formation, the petals are flying in the night, and the fragrance of flowers bursts.

Song Lingshuang remembered that the last time she walked here was Xie Yilan with her grandson Jue Ai Zixuan and herself.Ten years have passed, the mood has changed, and the peach blossoms are still the same.Song Lingshuang couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart.

Passing through the Peach Blossom Array and bypassing the small courtyards, the two came to the back mountain of Peach Blossom Ridge.The entrance to Siguo Peak is not far away.Song Lingshuang, who was hiding in the grass, was a little surprised. He never thought that such a place existed in Taohualing.

Siguo Peak is a mountain that seems to be suspended in mid-air.Between the natural moats, there are clouds and mists, and Siguo Peak is not surrounded by mountains. There is only a chain bridge connected to the back mountain of Taohualing.On the other side of the iron chain is the entrance of Siguo Peak, guarded by a disciple.

Song Lingshuang could feel that the entire mountain was covered by an enchantment.The enchantment is not terrible. Based on the years of studying the art, he should still be able to crack it.Just to pass the iron chain bridge, the guarding Xie disciples must be alarmed. This is the most difficult problem at the moment.

Song Lingshuang asked Xie Yizhu: "How did you get in before?"

"This place is not always guarded by senior brothers!" Xie Yizhu felt helpless and aggrieved.

Song Lingshuang: "..."

He sighed, it seems that it is true that Chang Yuan was locked up here, otherwise Xie Tong would not have specially ordered someone to guard it.

Xie Yizhu asked worriedly: "Then we can't get in?"

Song Lingshuang thought for a moment and said: "If you have a way to lure your senior brother away, I will have a way to get in."

Xie Yizhu thought for a while, "This is easy."

Song Lingshuang also simply said, "Okay, you are in charge of clearing the way, and I am in charge of saving people."

Xie Yizhu nodded, and the next moment he rushed out of the grass and rushed towards the edge of the cliff far away from Song Lingshuang, shouting as he rushed, "Help, I'm about to fall!"

Song Lingshuang was speechless.

The disciple in charge of guarding seemed to have a high level of cultivation, and he reacted very quickly when he heard the sound, and immediately flew across the bridge to rescue Xie Yizhu who was about to fall off the cliff.

Taking advantage of the disciple's full attention on Xie Yizhu, Song Lingshuang quickly leaned over from the opposite direction and walked around the iron lock bridge, leaping forward and using Hongchen at the same time.Hongchen wrapped the iron rope and hung Song Lingshuang under the bridge.Clouds and mist billowed under his feet, whether it was the abyss or the forest of monsters, Song Lingshuang could only feel the wind passing by, making it chilly.

At this time, he could still hear Xie Yizhu's yelling, knowing that time was not waiting for me.He raised his head and looked up, Hong Chen gradually shortened under Song Lingshuang's control, pulling him under the bridge deck.With his other hand, he climbed onto the iron chain to hang himself firmly, then used Hong Chen to wrap around the iron chain in front of him, and then let go of his hand to swing forward along Hong Chen.

In this way, Song Lingshuang took advantage of the gap when the guard disciple was entangled by Xie Yizhu, using the red dust as a swing to swing across the moat under the bridge.

On the other side of the cliff, he stood at the entrance of the enchantment and looked back, seeing that Xie Yizhu was still entangled with that disciple, he felt a little relieved.After carefully observing the enchantment, he smiled slightly, the talisman flashed, and entered the enchantment.

In the enchantment, through the fog, Song Lingshuang saw a round platform.The talisman lights that flowed linearly around the round platform converged upwards at one point, which looked a bit like Ke Yanche's spiritual cage back then, but much larger.Xie Yizhu was right, this should be a formation.

There is no one around, and in the center of the array sits Chang Yuan.

"Mr. Chang!" Song Lingshuang hurried over.

He hasn't figured out the details of the formation yet, so he doesn't dare to touch it casually, but just stands on the edge of the formation. "Mr. Chang?" Without Chang Yuan's response, Song Lingshuang called out again.

Chang Yuan, who was in the formation, was haggard and dull, and he was a different person from the last time Song Lingshuang saw him.

He didn't seem to hear Song Lingshuang's voice, and he didn't even lift his slightly drooping head.

"Mr. Chang, are you okay?" Song Lingshuang was afraid that the magic circle would cut off the sound, so he went around to directly in front of him, waving his arms.

But Changyuan still didn't respond.

Could it be that this is another space?

Song Lingshuang had no choice but to resort to the world of mortals, tentatively flinging towards the flowing talisman.But Hongchen was beaten back to his original shape the moment he touched the rune line, and retracted to his wrist.He even tried several times, and it was the same.He tried to touch the rune line directly with his spiritual power, and found that the spiritual power would dissipate the moment it touched the rune line.

He finally understood that this burst will absorb spiritual power.

He was a little relieved, at least this meant that although Chang Yuan had no spiritual power, she should be safe at the moment.He was also a little worried, because it also meant that he couldn't use spiritual power to break through the formation.If you want to bring Chang Yuan out, you must find the formation or the eye of the formation, and destroy it in a physical way to dissolve the formation.

This formation looks extremely simple, except for the flowing lines that make up the cage, there is nothing suspicious.After watching for a while, Song Lingshuang also had no clue.He didn't know if this formation was only capable of absorbing spiritual power, or as he guessed just now, there was another world in the formation, and Chang Yuan couldn't see or hear himself at all.

Song Lingshuang: "Mr. Chang, can you hear me? Why did you come here? Is it because of Concubine Xie?"

He thought about it, and decided to give it a try, "Is it because of Xie Tang?"

Suddenly, Chang Yuan raised his eyes in the direction of Song Lingshuang, his expression flashed with confusion for a moment, and then he showed intense pain, and his whole body became manic, "How could you treat her like this! How could you be willing to treat her like this!"

Seeing Chang Yuan's reaction, Song Lingshuang seemed to see hope, but the next second he felt numb and lost consciousness.

The real murderer is about to come out~
