Seeing him like this, Mrs. Gao quarreled: "Why do we do some wicked things for that noble person like this?! It's not just because something happens in the future, there is a big tree for us to avoid. Right now is what we need. When they were there, why didn't you ask the nobles to help us!? Do you want Laner to suffer such a dumb loss?"
Gao Xian was in a hurry, looked around, and quickly screened the maid in the house. Only then did he get angry and said to the crown: "There are ears on the wall, the more you live, the more confused you are?"
"In my opinion, if the person in the capital doesn't help us to vent our anger, let's not help the nobles kill Lin Gaoshan, and let them go directly!"
Gao Xian cursed in a low voice again, and after a while, Mrs. Gao's sobbing voice came from the room.
They couldn't hear anything anymore. Lin Gaoshan outside the door was against the side of the door, his round face was covered in cold sweat, and his face was pale. He caught a glimpse of someone coming from the other end of the corridor, and hurriedly fled back to Xiyuan.
…
Meng Qiqi rested on Sheng Jiayan's lap and fell into a drowsy sleep. Before going to bed, she caught a glimpse of the red lantern outside the car window, and guessed that she had reached the gate of the Gao Mansion.
She had a very strange dream.
The initial fog in the dream was heavy, and gradually, as if a hand was fiddling lightly, the fog dispersed little by little.
Before the beginning of the earth, all things were chaotic, and the six realms were not divided. After that, the god Pangu split the chaos, and the gods, demons, demons and mortals lived together, and the boundaries between each other were only separated by a pillar. There are immortals and wonderful palaces above, and there are several layers of mortal dust on the ground. Every life is like an independent individual, exploring this initial world with novelty.
With the passage of time, the three realms stand apart and have their own territory. At that time, the wilderness was adjacent to the demon world, a place abandoned by the gods. The ancient gods aloof and high above drew a barrier here, and let the demons here die on their own. The wilderness is full of demons and fallen immortals who have been expelled and exiled. In this uncontrolled area, evil spirits often devour each other.
In such an inaccessible place, a black dragon without a name appeared. No one knows how it got here, and no one knows why creatures like dragons are here.
Legend has it that when the dragon was born, no matter what the illusion was, it was born with divine power. They are more powerful beings than gods. There are only a handful of ancient dragon gods, and they have never been seen alive.
The black dragon devoured the past spirits in the wild every day, and the power and evil spirit it possessed once soared into the sky.
However, the black dragon was still not satisfied.
Because its ability is not enough to break through the barren barrier, those ancient gods still sit back and relax in the courtyard.
Until one day, the black dragon fell asleep after eating a wounded unicorn. When it woke up again, it suddenly smelled a tempting aroma. It looked out from its own hole, and the golden light swayed it narrowed its dark yellow eyes.
Outside the cave, a phoenix with not too plump wings slowly landed on the flat ground.
Its golden feathers were dazzling, and with the rise of flames all over its body, golden waves rose up one after another. The phoenix raised its head and neighed, deafening and screaming. At the same time, flames ten meters high shot out from under its feet, illuminating the surrounding chaos like daytime.
The flames engulfed the phoenix, and the hissing sound resounded through the wilderness.
Phoenix Nirvana.
The black dragon stared intently in the cave, and the auras emitted by the phoenix when it was nirvana made the black dragon's heart that had been silent for a long time agitated again.
The black dragon looked at the phoenix that had been reborn from the ashes outside the cave, and the flames were gradually disappearing from it.
The phoenix has to be reborn every five hundred years. It was just hit by the evil energy during the trek, so that Nirvana broke out and had to land. Phoenix felt fortunately that there was no danger, at least after Nirvana, it could quickly recover its spiritual power and return to the world again.
However, just as it was getting ready to go, the black dragon hiding in the cave swooped over, biting Phoenix's neck in one bite, and its sharp teeth pierced deeply into the flesh.
The phoenix struggled desperately, and the two wings flapped out a blazing flame to wrap and devour the black dragon along with it.
The sound of dragon and phoenix sounded in unison, and in an instant, the rocks collapsed and the earth trembled.
After an unknown amount of time, the phoenix stopped struggling, the flames gradually went out, and sparks floated in the air.
The black dragon raised its head from the neck of the phoenix, and at this time it had transformed into a human form. I saw him stumbled and stood up against the stone wall, wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with his hand, and his narrow eyes were black and threatening.
He looked at the unconscious Phoenix on the ground, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, does God feel this way?"
Meng Eqi could see it in the dream, until the black dragon in the dream turned to her direction, and when a pair of dark eyes looked over, Meng Eqi woke up suddenly.
As soon as she woke up, she met Sheng Jiayan's beautiful eyebrows.
"Wake up?" Sheng Jiayan touched her forehead: "What did I dream about just now? I've been shaking."
Meng Qiqi looked at Sheng Jiayan's eyes in confusion, she subconsciously lied: "It's nothing, I dreamed that I was still in the hands of the thief, just running for my life."
Sheng Jiayan's eyes were slightly heavy, and he only caressed her head, and the two were speechless for a while.
…
On Jiuzhong, the star officer on duty has just returned to the court to prepare for a shift change. In addition to inspecting the world today, he also went to Feihongju for a walk, and talked about Erlangshen's gossip, but he didn't expect that group of mortals would love to hear it.
He was preparing to return to the official residence, but many immortal officials hurried to the Tusita Palace along the way.
In a hurry, an immortal envoy bumped into him, and the star officer on duty quickly grabbed the other party: "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Immediately, the envoy apologized and said: "Shenjun Taishang accidentally drank the wine of the God of Cookery, and suddenly became drunk. He pushed the cauldron that sealed the memories of the immortals and almost turned it over. Now everyone is going to Taishang. The Shang Shenfu will help bring the cauldron back to its place."
Immortal envoys stopped and hurried away again.
The star officer on duty snorted and watched the envoy go away. Taishang Laojun put a few big cauldrons, and each of them sealed the memories of a few Shangxian. But how many high immortals are there, this is a secret that cannot be known. Everyone only knows that once the cauldron overturns, those sealed memories will also return to the original owner.
The star officer on duty touched his chin and felt that this topic was very good. Next time it was his turn to be on duty, he could go to the world to talk about it.
On the other side, Emperor Zhenwu sat behind the curtain and sighed inaudibly after listening to the boy below reporting the situation of Shen Ding.
The boy raised his head: "Emperor, do you want to go and see for yourself?"
Emperor Zhenwu was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Forget it, there is a certain number in the dark, and the morality is constant and cannot be violated. Let it go. If the memory really returns to the place in the future, it is also due to good fortune."
…
After Meng Eqi was recuperating for less than two days, Lin Gaoshan brought his wife and children to Sheng Jiayan's house.
At that time, Meng Qiqi was sitting on Sheng Jiayan's soft slump, playing with the jade pendant he got from somewhere.
"Manager Lin wants to leave so soon? I remember asking you a few days ago, how many more days do you want to stay?" Mo Chunfeng sneered aside.
Lin Gaoshan frowned and waved his hands in a panic: "No, no, no, no more. Go to Yueguo early, and my heart can settle down. The sooner the better, I don't want to stay any longer."
Sheng Jiayan looked up at him after the case, slowly put down the scroll in his hand, and only said one word: "Okay."
The itinerary was thus finalized, and the original plan was to pack up and leave the next day.
However, in this second time, a major event happened in the Gao Mansion.
The officials took the order from Dali Temple and wanted to arrest Gao Lan, put him in jail, and choose a day for interrogation.
The reason is that Zhao Changrong was killed in the back mountain of Yunshen Pavilion. When he died, his clothes were disheveled, and the woman's xie clothes were left in his arms. The people of the Zhao family sued the government, claiming that Zhao Changrong was killed by the elder sister of the Gao family. After verification, it was found that the hosta came from Yinlou.
Yinlou is a workshop in Youzhou City that specializes in making jewelry for noble women. All the jewelry and headwear produced by Yinlou have archives and traces to follow. Gao Lan's name was engraved on the inside of the hosta, and the official went to the silver building to check, and only then did he find the Gao family.
They held the investigation order sent from the capital in their hands, and officials like Rao Shi Gao Xian, who had a lot of wealth in Youzhou City, had no choice but to watch Gao Lan being taken away by the people who came.
Gao Lan struggled desperately in their hands, and kept looking back and crying: "Father! Mother! I didn't kill, I didn't kill!"
Mrs. Gao cried and fainted immediately, Gao Xian's eldest son Gao Zhen just wanted to say a few words, but was stopped by his father. Gao Xianchong shook his head slowly, implying that he should not act rashly.
The order from the imperial court must be someone from the Zhao family who made a move and didn't want to let him go easily.
Gao Xian's hand clenched tightly in his sleeve.
Everyone watched Gao Lan being escorted away, and the Gao Mansion was already in chaos.
Lin Gaoshan was extremely embarrassed, and he didn't know if he should ask to leave at this time.
Finally, after discussing with Sheng Jiayan, he decided to delay for two days before leaving.
The night after Gao Lan was captured, it started pouring rain outside. The pea-sized raindrops fell on the loquat leaves outside the window, making a crackling sound.
Meng Eqi stretched out her hand to catch the rain outside the window, and quietly eavesdropped on the conversation between the two maids in the corridor.
"Did you listen? The thieves who tied up my sister and Miss Meng last time were skinned and hung on the city gate. They were bloody and terrifying."
"Isn't it? If I see it, I'm afraid I will faint."
The two chatted for a while, then fell silent. Meng Eqi stretched out his head and looked out, Mo Chunfeng Xiang Dingchen and the two were walking towards this side one after the other.
The two of them returned from doing errands outside. The two shook the rain at the door. Mo Chunfeng came in to take a look and found that Sheng Jiayan was not in the house. He walked up to Meng Eqi: "You know, we met a strange person today. When he saw us, he guessed that there was a girl surnamed Meng beside us, and you couldn't live to be 30 years old, so I beat you right away. a meal."
Xiang Dingchen reprimanded behind him: "Speak up! Are you talking nonsense like this to Qiqi?"
Mo Chunfeng pursed his lips: "What's the matter? It's just for fun!"
