She broke free from Tang Huaizhou's hand and squeezed forward desperately: "Let me see, let me see!"
When the surrounding officers and soldiers heard the sound, they consciously made way out, and she came to He Shaoting smoothly.
She stared at the small skeleton in the pit without blinking. It was obviously nothing but an empty skeleton, but she felt a strong sense of familiarity.
She can even know what the owner of this skeleton will look like when she grows up, and she knows that she will break the bone of her left hand when she is seven years old. Because the healing is not good, she will suffer from pain for half a year, so that for a long time in the future , Her left hand didn't dare to exert much force.
"Baoya, what's the matter with you? Why is your face so ugly?" He Shaoting asked worriedly when he saw her pale face and strange expression.
Tang Junyao reluctantly smiled at him, and then waved at Sai Shenxian: "Come and see, look at the Soul Locking Formation in the secret passage just now, is it the owner of this skeleton?"
Everyone present was shocked when they heard the words, and they immediately thought of this possibility, and quickly made a way to make it easier for Sai Shenxian to go to see what happened.
Tang Huaizhou stroked his chin lightly, and looked thoughtfully at his younger sister, whose expression was obviously not right. After a while, he looked at Fairy Sai who was carefully examining the baby's skeleton. Then he thought about the soul-locking formation in the secret passage. tighter.
It's not right, it's really wrong, Baoya must be hiding something from herself, and it must have something to do with that race god.
He was perplexed, but it was not convenient to ask in detail at this time.
"Although I'm not very sure, the person who locks the soul array should be the owner of this skeleton. Alas, this is also a hard-working child, and I don't know what sins he committed in his previous life. Tortured." Sai Shenxian sighed, as long as he thought about the person who caused this child to suffer so much, it is very likely that he was his junior brother, and his expression became a little sad.
Tang Junyao's heart was so blocked, he silently took the longevity lock in Cao Sheng's hand, and gently stroked the word 'ruo' engraved on it.
Ruo, Xu Tingruo, Yan Wu, she knew that Yan Wu had suffered a lot during her lifetime, but there was no moment that was more shocking to her than seeing the Soul Locking Formation and this little skeleton.
A Wu... She rubbed the word 'ruo', recalling the past and present and Yan Wu, her vision gradually became a little hazy.
Seeing that she was holding the old longevity lock, He Shaoting lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, but the mournful aura that filled his body made him feel tight. He held her hand subconsciously and put the The longevity lock was pulled out of her hand, and she said softly: "This thing is a bit ominous, and it is also one of the clues to find out the identity of the owner of the skeleton. Leave it to me!"
Tang Junyao nodded lightly, and suddenly felt that the strength of his body was suddenly taken away, and the mind that had always wanted to find out the truth also faded a lot in an instant.
Up to now, she knew that she was Tang Junyao from beginning to end. In her last life, Xuan Qingfangyi's group forcibly detained her soul and coexisted with Yan Wu, who was also trapped in her soul.
Because she is an invading soul, it is impossible for her to survive in that body for a long time, so in the end the soul was forcibly driven away, speaking of Wu…
She gasped. Yan Wu also gave up that body after she was driven away, but what happened later? Why could Yan Wu still retain the soul body of her previous life when she could return to her youth
What went wrong in this? Why can she go back in time
"Baoya, Baoya!" Tang Huaizhou's sudden cry interrupted her contemplation, her expression was still a bit dazed, and she stared blankly at her helpless brother.
Tang Huaizhou rarely saw her look like a lost lamb, so he couldn't help laughing, and suddenly stretched out his finger and flicked on her forehead: "I'm back to my senses!"
Tang Junyao reacted instantly and gave him a frightened look: "What are you doing?!"
"Alright, alright, don't be annoyed. Brother Ting and the others have to stay to investigate the clues of the bones. We can't help you by staying here. Why don't you go back first! I'm tired looking at you." Tang Huaizhou quickly coaxed road.
Tang Junyao looked at He Shaoting not far away, and saw that he was dispatching errands, some officers and soldiers returned to the secret passage, some stayed in the back mountain, and he personally led the other part of the staff to interrogate the Taoist priests in Chaoyunguan, hoping to get some information from them. clue.
And Sai Shenxian was naturally forced to stay by him. Before Xuan Qing and others were arrested and brought to justice, I was afraid that they would no longer be able to run around.
After thinking about it, she walked quickly to He Shaoting's side and whispered a few words to him. He Shaoting was astonished and nodded, "Don't worry, I will arrange to trace along this line."
Tang Junyao saw that he was obviously puzzled, but he responded without asking himself the reason, and he couldn't tell what it was like.
She knew that not only him, but even her brother became suspicious of her series of inexplicable actions, but she didn't ask.
Of course, now she didn't think about hiding anything from them, just because she was in a mess at the moment, and she didn't have the heart to say anything more. When she cleaned up, she would naturally tell them everything.
Just now, she just reminded He Shaoting to start with the relationship between the skeleton and the woman in the portrait she gave him earlier.
He Shaoting looked at her leaving figure with a thoughtful expression.
Baoya once said that the woman in the portrait had some relationship with Xu Tingruo, the concubine of King Yu, but now she doubts the relationship between the woman in the portrait and the skeleton. Huh? Wait, Ruo, Xu Tingruo, could it be possible that this skeleton has something to do with Xu Tingruo, the concubine of King Yu
He suddenly became enlightened, and only felt that he had finally added an important clue, and it was no longer a smear in front of him. After all, it is not an easy task to find a baby skeleton from more than ten years ago.
He thought for a moment, and quickly arranged for someone to do it.
"Brother, I'm very confused at the moment, and I don't want to say anything. I'll tell you everything after I've straightened everything out." Returning to the Tang family's old house in He'an Mansion, she didn't wait for Tang Huaizhou to ask in detail. will go first.
Tang Huaizhou was choked by her and said helplessly, "It's up to you."
The confused Tang Huai interjected reluctantly: "Hey, don't play dumb riddles in front of me! If you have anything to say, say it now, I want to hear it!"
Tang Huaizhou pulled him away angrily: "Okay, okay, don't talk about what the layman does so much, it's time to prepare your newsbook. By the way, what kind of story are you going to write this time? Say it. May I help you with the details?"
Tang Huaimian was really distracted by him, and said triumphantly: "I'm going to write a touching and thought-provoking epoch-making masterpiece about the past and present, and I'm still thinking about it now. Tell you, but you have to help me keep it a secret."
"Don't worry, my mouth is the strictest!"
"You have the strictest mouth?! You can say this too, your cheeks are thick enough. I asked you not to tell anyone I was a layman, but you turned around and told the third sister, I'll tell you, Tang Huaizhou , you can't do it like this, you have to..."
The conversation between the cousins was getting further and further away, which also made Tang Junyao, who was in a somewhat gloomy mood, smile unknowingly.
These are her relatives, relatives for two lifetimes, she never has to worry that they will abandon her relatives, nor does she need to do everything she can to cater to and please relatives.
At night, she lay on the bed in the west wing of the third room of the Tang Mansion, tossing and turning, thinking of Concubine Xu Shu in her previous life, Yan Wu, and the night she first saw her in this life.
She remembered asking her where she came from, but what did she say? She said she didn't remember, she didn't remember her name, she didn't remember where she came from.
But even if she doesn't remember anything, she still remembers coming to her, remembering that they were always together.
The fool said that he would be scared if he didn't follow her. She had never understood what she meant by these words, and it was only today that she finally understood.
Because she experienced the most terrifying thing in her last life, but there was no one around to help her until she appeared.
The idiot was soft and timid. He met her when he was most helpless and fearful, and naturally regarded her as his only support.
That coward is definitely not willing to face all the darkness in the world, so he doesn't care about the control of that body at all, so he left without hesitation after she was driven away.
"Awu..." she murmured. Up to now, they have long been unable to tell who owes whom.
In the study room of Prince Yu's mansion in the capital, Yan Wu was curled up listlessly, leaning against the wall with the portrait of her biological mother hanging with her back.
Since returning here after leaving the Tang Mansion that day, she hasn't gone anywhere, and she can't do anything.
Only when I saw the elder sister who had taken her name, she occasionally glanced at the painting cuckoo, and then lowered her head with lack of interest, rested her head on her lap, and thought sullenly, "Sister Tingwan, a little bit. It's not as good as Yaoyao, Yaoyao wouldn't have fought so ugly with Huajuan in her last life!"
Thinking of Tang Junyao, she suddenly sighed again, but Huajuan and Xu Tingruo over there were fighting hard for some reason, and her harsh words made her more and more depressed.
In fact, the two of them have been fighting more and more recently. It was fine when King Yu was there, but at least they would restrain themselves a little bit. Once King Yu was not in front of them, the two of them would like to tear each other's faces apart so as not to teach the other's boss. It was an idea to seduce Your Highness.
I don't know how long it took, but the fight between the two still didn't stop, Yan Wu finally couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly got up and rushed out.
She thought that she couldn't stay here any longer, but she was a little bit reluctant to bear her mother's portrait... But it didn't matter, she had already firmly remembered her mother's appearance.
She turned her head back deeply, looked at the painting that was blocked behind the door for the last time, and left Prince Yu's Mansion without looking back.
Walking out of the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, she looked at the people coming and going on the street with a blank expression on her face.
After a long time, she suddenly knocked on the forehead: Yes, there is a place to go!
She can go to Anping County. The Anping County Government Office is Yaoyao's first home, and the Tang Mansion in He'an Prefecture is her first place to stay in her life. There are traces of her and Yaoyao together no matter where they are.
The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was a good idea, her eyes sparkling and a happy smile on her face.
Suddenly, she felt a coldness rising from her body, so cold that she couldn't help shivering, and wrinkled her nose in wonder.
Strange, she felt cold for the first time in so many years! This cold is like being pulled out of a warm blanket in winter.
But the next moment, she felt a dull pain in her heart, as if being beaten by something. After a while, the whole person seemed to be on fire again, and the pain caused her to stand unsteadily again and fell to the ground with a thump.
"Yaoyao, I hurt, I hurt..." She rolled on the ground in pain, calling out to the person she trusted the most, but what responded to her was the more intense pain.
"Ah... it hurts, it hurts... Yaoyao, I hurt... "
Finally, the severe pain spread to her limbs and bones, she couldn't bear the darkness in front of her any longer, and completely lost consciousness.
After a while, the clouds slowly dissipated, and the sun shone on the ground again, reflecting the increasingly transparent figure on the ground that eventually disappeared completely.
—
Since the discovery of the secret passage in the Xuanqing wing of Chaoyun Temple that day, and then the discovery of the baby's remains in the back mountain through the secret passage, He Shaoting has been interrogating the Taoist priests in Chaoyun Temple for several days, and he has no time to leave for half a step.
It's a pity that he interrogated everyone one by one, but learned that Xuanqing had never come back since he wandered around twelve years ago, and no one in Guanli has seen him again, but it seems that a few years ago, pilgrims mentioned that they had met him occasionally. Once, I just don't know if it's true or not.
The fact that Chaoyunguan was surrounded by officers and soldiers quickly spread throughout Anping County, and soon the people knew that the court was going to arrest the highly respected Taoist priest Xuanqing.
Although Daoist Xuanqing has not been in Chaoyun Temple for more than ten years, there are many pilgrims who remember him. Hearing that officers and soldiers found the skeleton of a baby in the Xuanqing wing, all kinds of folk speculations arose spontaneously.
Some say that Daoist Xuanqing is a demon, who specially uses babies to practice magic arts; some say that the child was born to Daoist Xuanqing’s love and life overnight, for fear of being discovered and damaging his reputation, he was strangled to death after he was born; It is also said that Daoist Xuanqing was framed by Yunyun.
But no matter how they guessed, although the officers and soldiers did not forcibly seal the Chaoyun Temple, they surrounded Xuanqing's wing, and no one was allowed to approach.
Although He Shaoting failed to inquire about Xuanqing's whereabouts, he was not too disappointed, and instead asked what happened before Xuanqing Liguan Yunyou.
It's just that after more than ten years, everyone remembers very limitedly, but it is also clear that the court suddenly sent someone here. It must be Xuanqing's fault. Naturally, I hope to clear the relationship with him as soon as possible, so as not to hurt myself.
For a time, from the master of the spectacle, down to the old Taoist who was responsible for burning the fire and sweeping the floor, they all racked their brains to recall the events of Xuan Qing's time in the spectacle.
"If you want to ask when Xuanqing came to Chaoyun Temple, Pindao doesn't know. I only know that when Pindao came to Chaoyun Temple, he was already in the temple, and he was very kind to him from top to bottom. Respect, even the spectator has to retreat." He mentioned Xuan Qing's origin. The Taoist priest Yuqing, the spectator, could not say why.
"In the last years of the previous dynasty, due to the turmoil of war, the Taoists of Guanzhong fled and died. Chaoyunguan is also declining, and its reputation has not been as good as before. It was not until more than 20 years ago that it slowly regained its former reputation. Thanks to the wide-spread kindness of Taoists headed by Xuanqing. Pindao thinks, this is why he is so prestige in the temple!" He thought for a while and said again.
"He has a detached position in the Guanli, and without his permission, no one dares to approach his wing, so I don't know that there will be a secret passage in his wing."
"By the way, I suddenly thought of a strange thing. When Xuanqing left Guan Yunyou for a long time and didn't return, there were successive disciples who were uneasy in Guanli to look for it, but most of them never came back." He suddenly patted Thighs, remembered this.
He Shaoting understood in his heart. It seems that those are not Taoist priests at all, but the remnants of the previous dynasty hiding in the view, but they left one after another by going out to find the name of Xuanqing.
As for why Xuanqing suddenly chose to leave, it is estimated that it was related to the failure of Sai Shenxian's approach and the sudden blow of His Majesty to the remnants of the previous dynasty, so he had to leave to avoid the limelight.
Taoist Yuqing looked at the young general in front of him with some unease. Chaoyunguan's life and death are in his hands, and no one can bear the crime of harboring the remnants of the previous dynasty. If His Majesty is to blame, this Chaoyunguan...
This worry was Zhongzhong, and he suddenly saw the guard named 'Cao Sheng' come in and whispered to General Na He, and General Na He's face was obviously happy, and then he listened to the other party: "Thank you Guan Lord, I still have important things to do, so I won't disturb the spectator!"
He got up and said farewell with sincerity and sincerity, watching the two figures in front and back gradually disappear, and finally let out a long sigh.
Even if Chaoyunguan can keep it this time, I am afraid that its reputation will be greatly damaged. It really is Xuanqing to succeed, and Xuanqing to defeat!
"I have already found out that the woman in the painting is the former Jin scholar Xu Boru Yuan's wife Qu. By the way, this Xu Boru is from Huaiping County, He'an Prefecture, and it is only two hours away from Anping County. It's just that Xu Boru's lineage has long since been cut off, and his family wealth has been taken away by the clan, but the mansion where he lived before his death was kept by the Xu clan for him, and all the old things were kept intact."
"Although Xu Boru was famous, he never entered the official career. After high school, he took his wife back to his hometown. Because he has quite a wealth of money, he doesn't need to worry about making a living. It's like being isolated from the world."
"According to the old servant of the Xu family found by Fan Guangxun, Xu Boru and his wife, the Qu family, have a very strong relationship, and the husband and wife are like a goddess. , The marriage of the children was decided early, and the two are childhood sweethearts."
"About sixteen years ago, Mrs Qu was delighted and gave birth to a daughter in ten months of pregnancy..."
"Only one daughter?" He Shaoting suddenly interrupted him and asked suspiciously.
Cao Sheng nodded: "According to what the old servant said, Mrs. Qu did give birth to a daughter, and this is the only daughter of Xu Boru and his wife. It's a pity that the child has been frail and ill since birth. For this daughter, Xu Boru and his wife have many Worrying, asking for medicine, asking for medicine, praying to God, and worshipping Buddha, just so that my daughter can grow up safely."
"Are you sure that Madam Xu only gave birth to a daughter? Did the old servant remember correctly?" He Shaoting asked again.
Cao Sheng replied, "The old servant was once the cook of Xu's house. Madam Xu's diet during her pregnancy was mostly hers. She was also present on the day of delivery. It was true that Madam Xu only gave birth to a daughter."
"But..." He changed the subject, "but before Madam Xu gave birth, she was accompanied by Xu Boru on a long trip regardless of her pregnancy. When she came back, she was holding a baby girl in her arms. She gave birth on the same night she returned to the residence. Xu Boru gave birth. It was announced that the wife gave birth to a pair of twin daughters."
"Do you know who is the daughter of that baby girl?" Tang Junyao's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.
"Why are you here?" He Shaoting stopped and asked in surprise.
"I don't worry about you, I came here to see. By the way, who's daughter is the baby girl that Mrs. Xu brought back?" Tang Junyao asked.
"According to what the old servant said, the baby girl was the posthumous daughter of Mrs. Xu's elder sister. Her sister died in childbirth. Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her niece who was left unattended. After consulting with her husband, she simply recognized her as a daughter."
Tang Junyao was secretly surprised.
The niece that Mrs. Xu brought back was the Xu Tingruo from the Yu Palace, no, Xu Tingwan was the one.
So this is why Yan Wu calls her her sister, but does not admit that she is a twin sister.
She used to be cousins, but now she realized that Xu Tingwan was not really the daughter of the Xu family.
The remarks she used to deceive Zheliu with nonsense that day actually made her say it again!
Xu Tingwan is not the daughter of the Xu family, and she should even be a few months older than Yan Wu. The Xu couple should declare that they are twin sisters, which is naturally based on Yan Wu's birthday.
Therefore, Xu Tingwan's birth date is also fake, so what kind of fate can't be true. Nanwei Fangyi and the others have exhausted their minds for this life-style theory, and they thought that everything was false in the first place.
She took a deep breath and asked again, "Then what happened to the Xu Boru couple?"
Cao Sheng glanced at He Shaoting subconsciously and saw him nodding towards him, and then he said again: "Fourteen years ago, Xu Boru and his wife went out with a pair of daughters, but an accident happened on the way back, and the husband and wife and all the servants were absent. In her life, only a pair of daughters are missing, it can be said that there is no life or death, no corpse."
Tang Junyao felt quite uncomfortable, where he disappeared, but was taken away by someone, and it would not be a real accident if you think about it, it was just murder and taking a woman.
The twin sisters have similar birthdays, so Fangyi Xuanqing and others will be replaced by Xu Tingwan after the real Xu Tingruo dies.
Xu Boru and his wife prayed everywhere for their frail and sickly daughter, and naturally they also asked Xuan Qing, who was famous at the time, to think that her daughter's birthday was leaked to him at that time.
She sighed in a low voice, and she couldn't blame the Xu couple, after all, wasn't her grandmother just like them? Otherwise, how could Xuan Qing think of holding her soul to continue Yan Wu's life later.
For a person who is desperately ill and seeks medical treatment, his high-ranking immortal is the least defensive. How could the Xu couple know that their love for their daughter has caused a murder to their family? .
