Sheng Lanchu was quiet for a while, then smiled and said, "Princess, I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Don't understand? Okay, then let me make it clearer." Li Chaoge bypassed the tea in Sheng Lanchu's hand, and walked slowly in Sheng Lanchu's boudoir, as if he was looking at her decorations, "Actually, I heard you talk about potential I was very confused when I was in Yuan Jian. You seem to know too much about Qiqi live sacrifice method. It’s not like reading a book, but it’s like going through it yourself. Of course, this is just my personal feeling. Where you really exposed your secrets lies in Wu Jinyuan."
"The second Governor of Wu?" Sheng Lanchu laughed, "I have no relationship with Governor Wu. The princess even opened the coffin of Governor Wu, so she must have thoroughly investigated it. Why do you have anything to do with me?"
"The most powerful thing about you is that everything you said is true." Li Chaoge said, "Wu Jinyuan really wanted to monopolize the Qianyuan sword, but was sucked to death by the Qianyuan sword. However, he is a man in the officialdom, and Swordsmiths, blacksmiths and other people have never had any contact, so in a hurry, where did he find a fake Qianyuan sword that is almost real and even deceived Hong Chengyuan's eyes?"
Sheng Lanchu was silent, she lowered her eyes and did not speak for a long time. Li Chaoge stopped in front of a pair of calligraphy and paintings, looked at them carefully, and said unhurriedly: "The Qianyuan Sword is a sword forged with the strength of the whole country of the Kui Kingdom. No one in the world can imitate this sword, except for the one who loved it 18 years ago. The old owner who is obsessed with swords and obsessed with making swords, don't think about other people. You said at the time that the old owner hired a blood slave and wanted to imitate a new sword by comparing the appearance of the Qianyuan sword. What happened next You didn't say it, but I think, except for the level of blood sacrifice, the old owner has already finished other parts. This sword naturally doesn't have the supernatural power of the Qianyuan Sword, but it is confusing from the appearance. Hong Chengyuan, who loves swords, should be enough. At the same time, you are the only one who can meet the satisfaction of knowing that the old owner forged imitation swords, understanding Hong Chengyuan's character, and being able to get in touch with Wu Jinyuan."
Sheng Lanchu was silent for a long time, then smiled indifferently, and said, "So what. I'm devoted to him, take care of the housework and take care of the house for him, but he's raising an outside room, and openly treating the illegitimate child Stuffed in front of my eyes. He fooled me so much, I let him suffer a bit, is it wrong?"
"That's right." Li Chaoge smiled and said, "I understand Madam's feelings. There was once a man who was sorry for me. When I saw him, I wanted to crush his head. Naturally, this is an off-topic topic. Let's go back. The topic. There is no doubt about the deaths of the first governor and the third governor, but the second governor, Wu Jinyuan, is a bit too mysterious. Hong Chengyuan wants to push the death of the third governor on the water ghost. Madam is better , directly borrowed a knife to kill him, and really let a sword kill him. If he hadn't experienced it, who would believe that a sword without a mind can drain a person's blood?"
"The princess suspects that the death of the second governor is related to me? That's really wronging my concubine." Sheng Lanchu said coldly, "I don't know anything about it."
"Then why did Wu Jinyuan know that Hong Chengyuan's smooth sailing was because of the Qianyuan sword, and why did he come up with the idea of changing swords? If there is no one in the villa to cooperate with outsiders, I am afraid Wu Jinyuan would not take such a risk." Li Chaoge Looking at the signature on the painting, he said slowly, "Has anyone ever told you that no one is perfect. Only those who play roles will be perfect."
Sheng Lanchu's face was sullen, and she asked, "Princess, what is this? Thinking?"
"I heard that there is a soul-changing technique. As long as you find two people with the same birth date, you can exchange the souls of the two people. Someone once used this method to seize the house, because it was too shameful, and it was gradually cut off. But The old owner was obsessed with ancient witchcraft, and he could even find out the seven-seven live sacrifice method. It should not be difficult to find a soul-changing technique that is more recent and has more records. The old owner was obsessed with sword casting all his life, and he was not afraid of the world's views? , there is nothing wrong with it, but the last thing he should do is to disregard the prohibition of human relations and want to restore the famous ancient sword, but he can't let go of his own daughter, so he came up with a vicious compromise. Tempering the sword with blood is to improve The traction between the sword and the owner, if blood of blood relatives is used, the traction will be stronger. Therefore, the person who should be bled for 774? 19 days, and finally jumped into the sword furnace to quench the fire, should be The old owner's only daughter, the eldest lady of the villa held in the palm of everyone's hands, Sheng Lanchu."
Sheng Lanchu closed her eyes, not wanting to hear any more. Li Chaoge sighed, turned around, looked at Sheng Lanchu and said, "The old owner is not willing to let his daughter die, so he wants to use the soul-changing technique to let another woman with the same birthday and month die in place of her daughter. In the end, his daughter will live as another woman. This is not a problem. There is no one else in the hidden sword villa. The old owner only needs to adopt the soul-changed Sheng Lanchu as a righteous daughter, so that his daughter can enjoy the life again. A life of rich clothes and fine food. The only sacrifice in this is Xiao Lian."
Sheng Lanchu didn't respond, and Li Chaoge continued: "Xiao Lian is the daughter of an ordinary family. Her parents value sons over daughters. They are greedy for money and loveless. They sold their daughters to the old owner for money, and they didn't even ask the other party to buy her back. What are you going to do. Xiao Lian was controlled as soon as she entered the villa. The old owner of the villa didn't let her associate with outsiders, but provided her with rich clothes and fine food. Xiao Lian thought that she had met a good person, but unexpectedly, The other party just used her as a container, a container for his own daughter to suffer."
Sheng Lan couldn't stand firmly at the beginning, so she couldn't help supporting the multi-treasure stand next to her. She opened her eyes, which were already filled with tears: "I have not been liked by others in my life, and I admit it. I am just a cheap man. I can't compare with my elder brother and younger brother, I can't compare with the golden lady, and I can't even compare with the villain in the villa. Maid. But they shouldn't have given me hope. They said they would raise me as a daughter, but in fact, they were discussing the day when they would carry out the soul-changing technique and let me die in place of the eldest lady. Princess, you are of noble birth, and your parents Doted on, beautiful in appearance, I probably don’t understand the feelings of an ordinary woman like me. I accidentally overheard the words of the old owner and the young lady that day. They? Father and daughter were discussing how to trick me into changing my soul. My My life has been given to her, but Miss still despises my mediocre appearance, which is far less beautiful than her own."
Li Chaoge sighed silently, she actually understood. She was never one to be favored either.
Li Chaoge asked, "What happened next?"
"Later, I drank water and fell into a coma without noticing. When I woke up, my eyes were covered with a cloth. The old owner said that he wanted to accept me as a righteous daughter, but some procedures were needed, so he asked me to cooperate with bloodletting. I I didn’t say anything at the time, but I knew that I had become another person. Princess, can you imagine what it’s like to bleed every day? My wrist has been cut so many times that I can’t find a knife anymore. When the wound was solidified, it was torn open again, and the blood kept flowing, and I could hear the sound of my blood drying up. I was lying on the couch, and I hadn’t done anything all day, but I couldn’t even take two steps. Difficulty, in the end, I feel dizzy when I move a little bit, and lie on the bed like a disabled person. But my mind is clear, and I just know that the pain now is just the beginning, and there is no point in enduring it, because ?Because the real despair is yet to come."
"Twenty days later, I finally couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't last 774 at all? Nineteen days, and I would die in two days. Anyway, both left and right were dead. After taking the blood, before I was locked up, I pulled out the Qianyuan sword and stabbed him in the back. I didn't intend to succeed, I just wanted to die quickly, but the old owner was obsessed with making swords, and I stabbed him What's even more strange is that the sword began to automatically suck the old owner's blood. I watched the old owner fall down in front of me, and he died soon after struggling a few times. I was so scared , stumbled and ran out. I lost a lot of blood, and within a few steps of running out of the secret room, I fell on the road and alarmed the maids. I thought I was going to die, but I found out that they called me Miss."
Sheng Lanchu raised her head, and couldn't help but laugh so hard that tears came out of her eyes. Her face was full of tears and tears, and she said, "They? They called me Miss. After I realized it, I made the most vicious and happiest decision in my life."
Li Chaoge closed his eyes, already guessing what happened next. Sheng Lanchu wiped away her tears vigorously, her eyes gleamed in the darkness, calm and crazy: "I asked them to grab a maid named 'Xiao Lian', blindfolded her eyes and mouth, and prevented her from saying anything. After a random search, I found a lot of Miss Sheng's things in Xiaolian's room. I didn't need to order, and the servants were filled with indignation, saying that Xiaolian stole and wanted to sink Xiaolian into the pond. You see, the master decided You don't even need to listen to rebuttals for the crime of a servant. From the beginning to the end, no one said a word of intercession for Xiao Lian, and Xiao Lian was blindfolded and sank in the lake in front of everyone."
Li Chaoge sighed, she didn't know what to say, this story was too tragic. Li Chaoge asked: "But those old servants, why do they admit that Xiao Lian fell into the water by mistake?"
"I'm a young lady. I just need to tell a servant girl that stealing is too nasty, and the people below will understand it, and they will all change their words and say that the other party has made a mistake. After she died, I asked the monk to chant scriptures by the lake every day, and I wanted to make her body and soul Collapsing, confused, and forgetting who she is. Xiao Lian has suffered, she wants to taste it one by one."
Li Chaoge was silent. She remembered that in her previous life, after learning of Pei Ji'an's betrayal, she went crazy and took revenge on Pei Ji'an and Li Changle, which was no different from what Sheng Lanchu did now. I didn't feel it when I was in the game, but now I listen to it from the perspective of a bystander, and I realize it's crazy.
Li Chaoge didn't know whether to ask Sheng Lanchu or himself, his voice was as light as a feather: "Is it worth it?"
"It's not worth it." Sheng Lanchu sneered, straightened her hair, and said proudly, "But if I don't do this, I won't be able to swallow my breath."
"And after that?"
"Later, I secretly went to see my parents and relatives. They? With the money from the old owner, they lived much better than when I was there. I gave them another pension, as if they had paid off their parents' child support. Zhi? Well, from now on, it will be completely broken, and it will be irrelevant."
"What about Hong Chengyuan?" Li Chaoge asked, "You kept him in the dark until his death, and he was your puppet for eighteen years. Now, you have Hua Lingfeng, the new puppet, but for the old man, you Is there anything you want to say to him?"
"No." Sheng Lanchu said coldly, "I first married him because I saw that he was honest and honest, and would never let me down. As a result, he raised a concubine and treated me like a fool. If I can assist him to reach this height, I can destroy him with one hand. So at the banquet between him and Governor Wu, I deliberately revealed the secrets of the villa to Governor Wu, and invited Governor Wu to appreciate it. Our hidden sword. Hong Chengyuan is very happy and vain and greedy. He was easily persuaded by me to lend his sword to the governor of Wu. I have clearly warned the governor of Wu not to try to let the sword recognize the master, not to use himself? His own blood dripped on the Qianyuan sword, but he refused to listen, which caused disaster. I buried eyeliner in the government office, and everyone was anxious to find out the cause of Wu's death that day. Take it away, and hide the sword in another place before Hong Chengyuan. Later, things became more and more troublesome, and I didn’t expect that idiot to be so mad that he dared to kill the third governor.”
Sensing Li Chaoge's gaze, Sheng Lanchu curled her lips coldly, and said, "Princess, don't worry, I have nothing to do with the matter of the third governor. Everything is out of control since the replacement of the Qianyuan Sword. , I don't want to make a big deal and alarm you? These people in the court."
At first, she just wanted to teach Hong Chengyuan a lesson. However, the human heart is a monster. Once the evil desire is released, it can no longer be controlled.
Li Chaoge nodded. She heard a wonderful story today, and it was roughly the same as she expected. Li Chaoge has no doubts and can't figure it out. Li Chaoge patted his sleeves, showing a gesture of farewell, and asked calmly, "Where is Qianyuan Sword?"
From the time she saw Li Chaoge tonight, Sheng Lanchu knew that she couldn't hold this sword. However, this is something from the emperor's family? It is common sense to return it to the emperor's family.
Hidden Sword Villa was lucky enough to borrow the power of Huanglong for 20 years, so it should be enough. Sheng Lanchu straightened her hair to restore herself to a decent "Missy" demeanor, and said, "It's at the bottom of the lake."
"Of course I know it's at the bottom of the lake." Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the bottom of the lake?"
Although the lake in Hidden Sword Villa was dug artificially, the water area is spacious and the area is not small. With so much silt at the bottom of the lake, Li Chaoge couldn't dig it out piece by piece.
She doesn't have that much free time.
Sheng Lanchu was secretly shocked, this princess was smart enough, decisive enough, and ruthless enough. Sheng Lanchu has met many people in the arena these years, but no one can match the princess's heart.
Sheng Lanchu lowered her eyes, and said honestly, "In the west? South corner, where the rockery is built."
When Li Chaoge got the news he wanted, he turned and left. If it wasn't for the whereabouts of Qian Yuanjian, why did Li Chaoge go to Sheng Lanchu's room and listen to her talking nonsense.
Sheng Lanchu's life experience is a secret and a handle. With this handle in hand, Li Chaoge is not afraid of Sheng Lanchu revealing to the outside world that the Qianyuan Sword is in Li Chaoge's hands.
Li Chaoge pushed the window, just like when he came here, and melted into the moonlight without a sound. When she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something, and turned her back to Sheng Lanchu and asked, "You can play the role of Sheng Lanchu well, and you can use Hong Chengyuan's vanity and arrogance and Wu Jinyuan's greed and hypocrisy. It can be seen that you are a master at manipulating people's hearts. Since You have this talent of insight into people's hearts, why don't you use it in shopping malls, but use it to manipulate men?"
Sheng Lanchu was stunned for a moment, without even thinking about it, she said, "The shopping mall is dominated by men. If I don't rely on men, what else can I rely on?"
Li Chaoge didn't speak, and jumped down from the window sill. If a woman wants to show her fist, can she only bear the name of a man
This is easier. But she doesn't want to
She, Li Chaoge, no matter whether she is famous or not, she must bear her own name.
·
Taking advantage of the darkness of night, Li Chaoge sneaked into the lake, and soon found the Qianyuan Sword under the rocks of the rockery. Tonight, when the moon is shining and the lake is shining, a beautiful woman suddenly emerges from the bottom of the water. Her face is pale, her hair is as long as ink, and there are drops of water hanging on her chin. However, such a glamorous and bewitching beauty is holding a murderous long sword in his hand.
Li Chaoge paddled the water and slowly swam to the shore. After landing, she casually brushed her wet long hair, and the water dripped slowly into the skirt of Li Chaoge's delicate chin and slender neck. Li Chaoge was not moved at all, she focused all her energy on the ancient sword in front of her.
In terms of appearance, this sword is undoubtedly very beautiful, not the kind of gaudy beauty, but a solemn, simple, and full of power? Beauty. Li Chaoge held the hilt of the sword, his heart beating fast.
She seemed to recall the feeling when the sword pierced her heart. But now, it's in her hands.
Li Chaoge finally suppressed his palpitations, exerted force with five fingers, and slowly pulled out the Qianyuan Sword. With the sword out of its sheath, Li Chaoge finally understood what it means to roar a tiger and howl a dragon, and what it means to kill an enemy thousands of miles away. She also finally understood why everyone who saw it knew the danger, but couldn't help it Take it for yourself.
This principle is the same as the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. It is placed on the road, but there is no way for an individual to ignore it? Ignore it.
Following Li Chaoge's movements, there was a slight buzzing sound from Qianyuanjian, as if a greeting from an ancient master. Li Chaoge pulled out all the blades of the sword, looked at it carefully under the moonlight and water light, and praised sincerely: "A good sword."
She tossed and admired it for a while, then put the sword on the ground, pulled out her original saber, and slashed at Qianyuan Sword without warning.
She used all her true energy for this move, leaving no energy left? When the blade was an inch away from the Qianyuan sword, a stream of silvery white light covered the Qianyuan sword like a shield, blocking Li Chaoge's movements.
Li Chaoge hit with all his strength, but he slashed on the shield light without piercing even a tiny bit. Li Chaoge's mouth was numb from the resistance? She rebounded. She stood up slowly, turned her head, and saw a familiar person standing behind the rockery.
Gu Mingke looked? Her eyes also felt that she was crazy. Li Chaoge rubbed his wrists, and said with a smile, "You've been pretending for so long, and you've been refusing to admit it. It's just a sword, so you're forced to show yourself?"
Gu Mingke really didn't expect her to be so nonsense. He used the shield light in front of Li Chaoge, and there was no need to hide it anymore. After Gu Mingke gave up maintaining the persona, he finally felt much easier to breathe. He didn't pretend to be a mortal any more, he approached Li Chaoge suddenly, held Li Chaoge's wrist, looked at it, frowned and reprimanded: "Nonsense."
Li Chaoge was still wet all over, she didn't show any weakness, raised her eyebrows and said back: "I didn't cut that sword, why are you so fierce?"
This sword killed her in the previous life, so she can't even vent her anger
For so many years, Gu Mingke rarely felt emotional fluctuations. The last time he was angry seemed to be when he hadn't ascended.
Gu Mingke looked at her extremely coldly, and said, "I don't know what to say, it was you who I saved just now."
What is the role of the Qianyuan Sword? This sword has killed people and tempered their souls, and its aura is very domineering. If Li Chaoge really slashed with his sword, and Qian Yuanjian's murderous aura rebounded, Li Chaoge's blood would be splashed on the spot.
Li Chaoge didn't believe it at first, but seeing? Gu Mingke's cold eyes?, he felt that she might really have misunderstood. But it is absolutely impossible for Li Chaoge to admit his mistake. She snorted softly and said in a strange way: "Wouldn't it be good if I die, so that no one can threaten Pei Ji'an. What should you do?"
Gu Mingke nodded, okay, she is really capable. Gu Mingke coldly threw Li Chaoge's wrist away, turned around and walked back: "Think of me as troublesome. Do whatever you like, do whatever you want."
Look at Li Chaoge? Gu Mingke seems to be really angry, and there is a trace of guilt in the strangeness. She leaned over to pick up the Qianyuan sword, hugged the two swords hastily, and quickly chased Gu Mingke: "Tell me, is the rumor about this sword true? For an illusory one? You can get the legend of the world, Is it really worth it to cause friends to betray, masters and apprentices to fight each other, and husbands and wives to turn against each other?"
Li Chaoge was full of the aura of looking for something to say, but he just couldn't bear to admit his mistake. Gu Mingke didn't respond, and said, "What does it have to do with me?"
"Did you already know that Sheng Lanchu was a fake? Why didn't you tell me when you caught the water ghost?"
"The princess has her own opinions, so she doesn't need to be reminded."
Alas, Li Chaoge sighed. Why is she so temperamental? Forget it, beauties have the privilege of losing their temper. Li Chaoge endured it. She folded her arms, coughed in the autumn wind, and said, "It's a bit cold."
Gu Mingke ignored it. Li Chaoge continued: "If I get typhoid fever, I won't be able to travel tomorrow."
The night wind was silent, and after a while, a women's cloak was thrown on Li Chaoge: "Wear it well, don't delay your journey."
Li Chaoge saw it with his own eyes? A silver light flashed across Gu Mingke's fingertips, and then it turned into a piece of clothing. Li Chaoge squeezed the cloak in surprise, and said in surprise, "It's almost like clothes."
Because it was originally a piece of clothing. Gu Mingke tried to maintain the personality at first, but then gradually gave up. Up to now, Gu Mingke has broken the jar. He said to Li Chaoge: "Since you are obsessed with taking this sword, then put it away. It was forged with care, so don't do anything strange."
Li Chaoge nodded casually: "I know." She handed the Qianyuan Sword to Gu Mingke casually. Gu Mingke looked at the sword in front of him and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"
"Help me get it." Li Chaoge said disgustedly, "Do you have eyesight? Jin, I can't move my hands while wearing a cloak."
There are so many problems. Gu Mingke took the Qianyuan sword with a cold face, and Li Chaoge bowed his head and tied it. The breeze blew gently, and under the moonlight, the hilt of the Qianyuan Sword trembled slightly.
That's the long sword inside resonating.
·
The next morning, just as Bai Qianhe woke up, he heard that they were leaving for Beijing today. Bai Qianhe was surprised for a moment, and asked, "Why so suddenly?"
"I don't know." Chu Mao who came to pass on the message shrugged and said, "The princess and Gu Sicheng said so, we? Just do it. Anyway, everything? It's all sorted, and it doesn't matter when you leave. By the way, pack it up Come out quickly and help move the sword."
"Moving what?"
"Move the sword." Chu Mao said, "The wife of Hidden Sword Villa felt guilty for the wrong things done by her husband and father, and wanted to make amends on behalf of her husband and father. She voluntarily dedicated all the collections in the villa to the imperial court. Eat fast and chant Buddha, and pray for the dead who died under the hands of their father and husband."
Bai Qianhe raised her eyebrows, thinking that this lady is smart, knowing that the trees in the Hidden Sword Villa attract wind, so she hurriedly hugged Li Chaoge's thigh. Backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade, investing in a smart and ambitious princess has a much higher rate of return than finding someone else to surrender.
He really deserves to be the person who single-handedly built the Tibetan Sword Villa, who dared to give up and fight.
Before Li Chaoge left, he specially collected the bones of "Little Lotus" in the lake and put them in the temple for salvation. Standing in front of the pagoda, Li Chaoge heard the sound of neat wooden fish inside the pagoda.
"The Tathagata said that the appearance of the body is not the appearance of the body. All the appearances are false. If you see that all the appearances are not appearances, you will see the Tathagata..."
Li Chaoge was slightly at a loss as he listened. Bai Qianhe listened carefully for a while, then asked piously: "What's for lunch today?"
Bai Qianhe's overly down-to-earth words instantly pulled Li Chaoge out of that mysterious state. Li Chaoge sighed resignedly, and said, "Let's go back to Dongdu."
"So we? What to eat?"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I will add another dish and let everyone eat roasted cranes today."
"..."
——The end of the chapter "Qianyuan Sword".
The author has something to say: "Subhuti! What do you think? Can you see the Tathagata with your body?" "The Buddha told Subhuti: "All appearances are illusory. If you see all appearances and non-appearances, you will see the Tathagata." - "Diamond Sutra"
