Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2283 Old Sword
"Who are you talking about?"

Baili Celing stared into Du Ziqing's eyes.

Du Ziqing smiled and didn't speak.

Baili Celing lowered his gaze, staring at the blanket that Du Ziqing was covering his knees.

Du Ziqing's leg was injured by the cold in the torture hall.After he rescued Du Ziqing, he had a doctor's diagnosis. If he came out three days later, Du Ziqing's leg would be disabled.

Even their informants who had been hiding in the monastery for many years hadn't figured out the exact location of Du Ziqing's imprisonment. If it wasn't for the sudden letter, they would really have missed the opportunity to rescue Du Ziqing.

However, the person who sent the life-saving letter was very strange.Perhaps, it was not a person.

Baili Celing took out the crude letter from his pocket.It is a bit reluctant to say that it is a letter, but from the appearance alone, it is just a withered leaf.

On the blade of grass, Du Ziqing's location was written crookedly in extremely crappy fonts, and a simple diagram was also drawn.

Du Ziqing looked at the blade of grass in Baili Celing's hand, and showed a complicated smile, "This is the letter that rescued me?"

"Yes," Baili Celing nodded, "I still haven't figured out who sent it."

Maybe it wasn't sent by someone at all.

"Is there a signature?" Du Ziqing asked.

Baili Celing moved his eyes to the end of the blade, "Yes."

"The signature is... Xunyin."

"Xunyin?"

Du Ziqing's eyes flickered, and she touched the blanket on her lap, "It's a very magical name."

"Isn't it?"

Baili Celing smiled wryly, "Do you know how this letter was sent?"

Du Ziqing chuckled, "If it can be delivered directly to you, it must be brought to you by someone close to you, right?"

"That's right," Baili Celing turned blue, "Zongzheng came in with his front foot and gave it to me, and then left without saying a word. He came back after a while. I asked him, but Zongzheng said he No letter was sent to me at all."

It is so.

No wonder Baili Celing's face, Du Ziqing was filled with emotion.

Li Zong was Baili Celing's personal bodyguard, but he was impersonated, but Baili Celing didn't realize it.

If this person had any other intentions, wouldn't he be someone who could easily kill them?
"Disguise? Or a human skin mask?"

Du Ziqing asked softly.

Baili Celing's face turned greener, "It would be better if it was just disguise and a human skin mask."

Before he came to Xirong, he also met practitioners who were good at disguise in Guiyang City, and those who mastered strange skills in Daqin were all called "warlocks".

High-level sorcerers can almost confuse the real with the fake, but the "Li Zongzheng" who sent him the letter that day surpassed any disguised sorcerer he had ever seen.

"That day I saw Zongzheng, but the guards guarding the camp saw another person."

"What did you say?"

Du Ziqing was stunned.

Baili Celing sighed, "Zongzheng stayed in the camp that day, and the guards would know if he went out. If you want to come in from the outside, you can't pretend to be Zongzheng."

A person who had never been out before came in from the outside, no matter what, it would arouse the suspicion of the guards.

So what the guard at the gate saw that day was not Li Zongzheng, but a slave who had gone out to inquire about news and came back and went out again.

Du Ziqing fell silent.

In other words, the "Li Zongzheng" that Baili Celing saw changed twice in less than a quarter of an hour.

High-level disguise technique takes a lot of time, and even a heaven-level practitioner needs a lot of effort to prepare to completely disguise himself as another person.

Changing appearances twice in such a short period of time without revealing his identity once, this is simply not something that disguise can do.

Baili Celing felt horrified every time he recalled the experience at that time.

If he hadn't rushed to rescue Du Ziqing at the beginning, and had their internal support in the monastery, he would never have dared to believe in this letter as a living doctor.

"It's not something humans can do..."

Du Ziqing sighed, with complicated eyes, "I didn't expect that there are still people alive in that family."

"What family?"

Baili Celing was shocked when he heard that.

"The snake clan," Du Ziqing glanced at him, "is a kind of divine beast that can change its appearance at will, but I heard that the clan was extinct hundreds of years ago."

Unexpectedly, there are still descendants, and even choose to help practitioners.

"It's actually a divine beast?"

Baili Celing's eyes widened, he looked Du Ziqing up and down, his eyes were full of disbelief, "You actually have friendship with a divine beast?"

Even divine beasts will send letters to save him...

"It's not me," Du Ziqing smiled wryly, "I don't have such a big face."

"The Snake Clan was said to have perished at the hands of cultivators, and had a blood feud with the Human Clan. Unless there are special circumstances, they will definitely not help humans."

"Then why did the snake come?" Baili Celing looked confused.

Du Ziqing lowered his gaze, "Perhaps, he entrusted the information to the snake-turning person. It's very special."

"special……"

Baili Celing fell silent. He already knew who Du Ziqing was talking about.

Rather, he had been pretending to be confused before.

After rescuing Du Ziqing, Du Ziqing told Baili Celing that he saw Ying Baoyue in the depths of the execution hall, and it was the former Qin princess who found him.

If Du Ziqing's location was not found out by the divine beast, then there was only one possibility, it was the divine beast notified by Ying Baoyue, and the divine beast was only responsible for delivering the letter.

Baili Celing's heart beat faster.

What Du Ziqing told him was not only Ying Baoyue's arrival, but also Ying Baoyue's true identity.

It's just that the experience of seizing the house was too special, and Du Ziqing's life was hanging by a thread at that time, so maybe everything was his hallucination.

"Did she really admit that she is Miss in front of you?" Baili Celing asked every word.

"That day in Dingling, you handed the token directly to a girl whom you met for the first time." Du Ziqing raised his head and looked straight into Baili Celing's eyes. "You should have recognized her earlier than me, right?"

Baili Celing hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"I gave the wolf's head to her because of the sword in her arms."

Du Ziqing opened his eyes slightly, "You mean... Juque Sword?"

When Ying Baoyue appeared in Ding Ling, he did carry a sword with him.

That sword is the treasure of Soochow, the Juque Sword.

"That's a sword that only a master of the Eastern Wu can use," Baili Celing said with complicated eyes, "and a master of the Eastern Wu will only give it to the person he trusts the most."

"Then this person is also the one I need to protect."

Du Ziqing suddenly understood why Baili Cering handed over the wolf's head token to Ying Baoyue, whom he met for the first time and whose identity was unknown.

That day, it was Juque Sword who protected her.

"You still won't forget it," Du Ziqing said softly, looking at Baili Celing.

Baili Celing laughed hoarsely, "Can't you forget it too?"

Although Wudu teenagers came to Guiyang and grew up in Guiyang, it does not mean that they will forget their hometown.

Daqin is Du Ziqing's hometown, but not his.

Baili Celing spoke softly.

"In the end, I'm from Soochow."

　You can look back at the previous chapters of this volume. Baili Celing gave her the wolf's head after seeing the sword Ying Baoyue was holding.
