When I woke up, I didn't feel any abnormality in my body, but the dim light and empty layout let me know that I was still in Jiang's house. I struggled to get up, and opened the door. Not far from the door, there was a person squatting halfway. After a long time, he remained motionless, as if he was observing something intently.

I couldn't help coughing, and he turned around in shock. I noticed that he was dressed luxuriously, and there was a sickness between his brows, so I stepped forward and said, "You are Jiang Zixian, right?"

He was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded, and then asked me with a puzzled look: "Who are you?" I was about to speak, when he suddenly realized, pointing at me and said: "You are the one who wants to marry me woman!"

I was suddenly a little tired, and I didn't want to talk to him any more, so I moved a few steps to the side, quietly looking at the vibrant flowers and plants in front of me.

He didn't say much when he saw this, and continued to look at the ground intently. The breeze blew gently, and I looked into the distance and said softly: "Have you released Yu Ning?"

"What?" He raised his head abruptly and looked at me suspiciously.

"I said, did your grandmother release the girl you captured earlier?"

"That's natural. I don't need two wives."

"What is there to see on the ground?"

"I'm watching... the ants move."

I was brought by the housekeeper to Mrs. Jiang's room. She still sat quietly on that chair and said to me: "I have ordered people to start preparing for your marriage with Xian'er. You can't take a step out of Jiang's mansion until you get married." , if you need something, just order the servants to buy it."

I looked away lightly, and when she finished speaking, I replied: "I don't need anything."

She didn't get angry when she heard the words, and her expression didn't change, she just said: "That's all." There was a big commotion here, if it wasn’t because of Yi San, I would have almost lost your ability to keep you. Don’t hate me too much, if I hadn’t let Yi San show mercy last night, it would have been very difficult for the three of them to leave safely. Xian’er is My life, if you can make him better, I will definitely not embarrass you and your friends again."

"I have no ability to save your grandson. The old way uses magic. I never believed that it could really save people."

"I don't care if it's evil or righteous, as long as it can save Xian'er."

"Then do as you like." After I finished speaking, I turned and left.

When I opened the door, I saw the old man walking towards me. I didn't bother to close the door when I saw it, and walked outside. Suddenly, he asked behind me: "Girl, where are you from?"

I ignored him and continued walking.

I really don't understand, they hurt me, why they can be so righteous when facing me, don't they have a disturbed conscience, or some people have no heart at all.

My heart was gloomy, and suddenly, Jiang Zixian appeared out of nowhere with a dry piece of soil, and said to me excitedly: "Look quickly..."

"Get out." I interrupted him coldly, looked at him with strong hatred and said, "Are you really stupid, or are you just pretending? You know, if I have the ability, I really want to Immediately kill you, and destroy this house."

I stayed in the room for three days without eating or drinking. Every day I threw the food they brought out the door, listening to the sound of dishes being smashed to pieces, I felt the slightest pleasure.

I don't know how many days later, I leaned against the window weakly, and heard the passing maid discussing the news that Young Master Jiang was critically ill again. I didn't feel a little bit of happiness, I just knew that what should come was close at hand.

A few people entered the room in twos and threes, and the maidservant who came in first said to me softly: "Girl, today is your big day, follow me to the dressing table and get dressed."

After the crowd dispersed, I was wearing a bright red phoenix wedding dress, leaning quietly against the window where the sun could not shine in, I raised my head with difficulty, and suddenly wanted to see the world outside the window. The sound of a crutch falling to the ground came from not far away. I knew it was the old woman who couldn't bear it anymore and came to look for me. The door creaked open, and a hunched figure looked down at me.

I looked up at her proudly, and said with a light smile, "You are wrong, I am not afraid of death."

She heard the words and said slowly: "You can escape, maybe I can't afford to wait."

"Since you kept your promise and let Yu Ning go, I won't run away. Anyway, I'm imprisoned in this house, and I'm already nothing but a shell."

The door was opened again, and the old man with a white beard walked in, and said to the old woman, "Once the wedding is done tonight, the rune I gave you will be effective."

I closed my eyes and leaned against the wall, suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside the door, followed by the sound of fighting from far and near, she sneered, and said to me: "Girl, your overbearing friend has come to save you. "

I heard the words and struggled to get up, she looked at me coldly, and said mockingly: "It's a pity that your stupid behavior these days has burdened them."

I got up in front of her weakly holding on to the wall, and staggered out. Suddenly, I heard Liang Yi's voice. I turned my head. He was running towards me from the end of the corridor. My face is full of guilt.

"Wen Yi, I will never let you take any risks in the future!"

I looked at the black and blue under his eyes, and said weakly, "I will forgive you this time."

As soon as the words were finished, a gust of wind rushed towards him. Mrs. Jiang was standing outside the door at some point, and beside him stood an old man with a long beard.

Seeing this, Liang also pointed at him, and said sharply: "Hu Yisan, we've got you out of the way in the past few days, and the people from Feiyunguan will be here soon. You're abusing sorcery to harm people. Let's see how you do this time." end!"

The old Taoist laughed lightly when he heard the words, "So what, the worst thing is that I will be expelled from the teacher's school. I owe Jiang a favor. If I pay it back this time, I will have no regrets!" After a pause, he said: "Since the matter At this point, I will disappear from Feiyun Temple!" After speaking, he flipped his robe and came out over the wall.

Mrs. Jiang walked up to me on crutches, and said to me: "Girl, as long as you pay your respects to Xian'er, I will let Yi San get rid of your Gu. If you leave now, you won't live long. "

Liang Yi sneered when he heard the words, "It's unfortunate for the master. When the people from Feiyun Temple come, they will definitely end up for the mistakes made by the disciples. Why should we be threatened by you?"

"No one in the world can understand Yi San's Gu technique. Oh no, there is such a person, but she has long since disappeared, and she may have died a long time ago." Mrs. Jiang said, her old face raised a hint of success. He smiled, but his eyes fell into a certain long-term memory.

"Who is that person?" I looked at her and asked.

She looked at me firmly when she heard the words, and said with a chuckle: "Girl, since you have asked me, it's okay for me to tell you. She is my senior sister, and she disappeared in the Jianghu ten years ago. When she was young, she beat me every time, but the last time, she lost, so she hid..."

"It sounds like your senior sister let go of everything ten years ago, but ten years have passed, but you still haven't let go." I looked at her and said slowly.

She seemed to be caught by what I said, and knocked her crutch on the ground, looked at me emotionally and retorted: "No, how could she let go, she killed her own child with her own hands back then, and used Her hands, with the sword that senior brother gave her... killed their child with her own hands! Later, she left without leaving a word. I was the one who accompanied senior brother before he died, and I made arrangements for him For the funeral, fulfill his last wish!"

I quietly listened to her finish, and then said: "But your brother still doesn't love you, you still lose."

"Grandmother!" Jiang Zixian came out of the door in thin clothes, came to Mrs. Jiang, put his arms around her shoulders, and said to us: "Don't talk about it anymore, besides, grandma is going to get sick again."

Only then did I realize that Li Sha had come to us at some point, I looked at him, and he looked at me at the same time, following his gaze, I looked down at my wedding dress, feeling a little uncomfortable. At this time, there was movement from the entrance of the corridor, and three Taoist priests in gray robes were walking towards us.

When our group left, I looked back at Mrs. Jiang, she stood there with a dull expression, Jiang Zhixian patted his back, and looked at me without blinking.

"The Gu in Miss Wen's body, the master may have a solution, but the master is currently in retreat, and there are still a few months before he can get out. The girl may not be able to wait that long... But except for the master, the entire Taoist temple is helpless."

"Then it's nothing if you say it!" Liang Yi angrily slapped down the table, looked at the three Taoist priests and said, "Then hurry up and arrest Hu Yizhi. It’s hard to let him get away with it!”

"We will naturally catch him, but Hu Yizhi's whereabouts are erratic, and I'm afraid it will take some time..."

"For the current plan, I'm afraid we have to bring Wen Yi back to Jiang's residence to lure Hu Yizhi out." Li Sha held my hand tightly, looked at me and said softly.
