night enchanting

Chapter 22
On this day, the Kingdom of Yi sent envoys to court, and Nangong Ye went to the palace to attend a dinner party, but did not return late at night.Ru Mo stood in front of the window, staring at the dark sky, dazed.On a moonless night, it seems like an abyss that will never see the light.

"Qinzhen, go invite Master Yi."

Yi Yu came very quickly, she was still in the long purple dress, bright and radiant, but she was dressed as a servant girl of Qianseyuan.

"Rumo, I heard from Qinzhen that you found Sha Zhong?" As soon as he entered the room, Yi Yu couldn't wait to grab her hand and asked, with a look of surprise on his face.

Ru Mo looked sad, "Yes. But, he's crazy."

"Crazy?" Yi Yu's eyes widened in surprise, the joy in his eyes suddenly turned into endless disappointment and fear, and he said anxiously: "The Poison Sutra..."

"I don't know his whereabouts yet, I'm going to see if he's really crazy or fake." Ru Mo said, and had already started changing his clothes. "I called you here today for another matter. Elder Zhuo has found out that Elder Qu colluded with the owner of the bloodthirsty building in vain attempting to obtain the treasures of the Demon Palace and take the position of the owner of the palace. I suspect that the owner of the bloodthirsty building, Wu Xie He already knew my identity, and he took great pains to deliver this Ximing Guqin to me, so he must have known that it was being sung in my hands."

Yi Yu was startled and said, "How could he know? Didn't Nangong Ye snatch Xi Ming from them and give it to you?"

Ru Mo said: "How many people are there in the world who can be heartbroken and not die? The owner of the bloodthirsty building may not have imagined it, but Elder Qu, who knows the life and death Gu in me, is not difficult to guess. Last time in the backyard of the brothel, if it wasn't Knowing that ordinary poisons don't work on me, it is absolutely impossible for him to use Qinghao drunken incense to deal with me. It must be known that Qinghao is unique to the royal family of the Kingdom of Jin and is extremely rare. The purpose of doing everything possible to obtain the treasures of the Demon Palace is self-evident."

After a pause, he continued: "He expected that Nangong Ye would not let me die, so he took advantage of Nangong Ye's ability to detoxify me, and used his breathing as his ear to lure Nangong Ye to the Sacred Heart Lake. The bloodthirsty demon voice At the highest level, the three great magical skills are irresistible. Nangong Ye's skill is greatly damaged, and the magical skills are not enough to protect the body. Wu Xie wants to take this opportunity to get rid of Nangong Ye, so as to prepare for the Jin Kingdom to capture the feudal kingdom in the future. Even if it can't get rid of Nangong Ye, he can also deliver Ximing to me without any trace, and when I find the secret of the treasure in the Demon Palace from Zhengyin Ximing, and when I open the treasure, he will take it away in one fell swoop. This is killing two birds with one stone count."

"What a cunning landlord of the bloodthirsty building!" Yi Yu clenched his fists and said angrily.

Ru Mo laughed, "No matter how cunning he is, he would never have imagined that the treasure of the Demon Palace is already in my hands."

"Fortunately, you didn't let Elder Qu know about this at the beginning!"

"In the Demon Palace, I only trust you and Elder Zhuo, and even Weilan, Qinzhen, Wanli, and Luan Yun don't know about it. Since the owner of the bloodthirsty building wants the treasure of the Demon Palace so much, then we Just give him a magic palace treasure!" A faint sneer bloomed at the corners of the red lips, and a cold and stern light pierced deeply from the black pupils, like a sharp edge at night, piercing everything without knowing it.

"You mean..." Yi Yu's eyebrows twitched, his eyes sparkled, and Rumo nodded, "This matter must be done in secret, and the sooner the better. If the Yunge is short of manpower, they can be dispatched from Can Ge."

Yi Yu nodded again and again, "The owner of the bloodthirsty building dared to poison you. This time, we must wipe out the bloodthirsty building. By the way, Rumo, as soon as the breath comes out, the people of Jianghu are ready to move, I'm afraid there will be no peace in the future. How about, After annihilating the Bloodthirsty Building, destroy Ximing and cut off the thoughts of the people of the world."

"I've thought about this before. But now..." Ru Mo turned her head, and Xi Ming was quietly placed there on the piano table. as gentle.

Yi Yu was slightly stunned, and then said in surprise: "Are you reluctant now? Is it because of Nangong Ye?"

Rumo said nothing, but Yi Yu's expression was serious, he pulled her hand away, and called out in a low voice: "Rumo, are you crazy? How could you fall in love with Nangong Ye? He has a cold personality and cruel methods, and everyone knows that .You falling in love with him...is like handing over a sword with your own hands, waiting for him to stab your heart one day! Rumo!"

"I know." Rumo lowered his eyes, his tone was inaudible.

"You know..." Yi Yu was so angry and impatient that he couldn't speak for a while.After a pause, Yi Yu softened his tone, and said again: "You have always been calm and self-restraining, strong and courageous, even such a big demon palace surrendered under your feet, a mere Nangong Ye, why can't you defeat it? Mo, let go of your feelings before it's too late, and don't give you a chance to hurt you! You know better than anyone what kind of person he is, and he can't accept others' deception and take advantage of his feelings. Once he knows your identity, Even if you have no intention of overthrowing the imperial court, with his character, it is absolutely impossible to forgive you and will not let the Demon Palace go! By the way, isn’t there a picture of the back of a young man hanging in your bedroom? The young man in there, accompany you You have been the one you have always liked in your heart for ten years, aren't you?"

Yi Yu asked eagerly, hoping so strongly that she could change her mind.However, Ru Mo turned her head away and let out a desolate smile, which was a sadness that even she herself was helpless.It's not that I haven't struggled, but I can't beat my heart.

Seeing her smiling like this, Yi Yu's heart was shocked, and he suddenly realized: "I understand! That boy... is actually Nangong Ye!"

Rumo silently stared at Ximing under his fingers with downcast eyes, and lightly plucked the strings of the zither, and the deep sound of the zither scattered in the night, setting off an invisible sadness.

Yi Yu said again: "No wonder you don't want to use the method of hurting him to find Elder Sha, no wonder you are so persistent, you want to come to the palace in person, and you have to appear as his princess... Maybe, looking for Elder Sha is just you looking for it for yourself. An excuse to get close to him! Rumo, what should you do now? What if..."

"There is no chance. I will leave the Demon Palace after I find the Poison Sutra and wipe out the Bloodthirsty Building. I will not let him know that I used to be the Lord of the Demon Palace." Ru Mo raised his eyes, and his dim eyes revealed a dazzling light Guanghua.

Yi Yu was stunned, "You are really crazy! The magic palace has always had rules, no matter who they are, they will be surrounded and killed by the whole palace! Even if you are supernatural, you will never think about peace day!"

Yi Yu held her hand tightly, as if trying to wake her up.But Rumo smiled slightly and said, "Of course I know the rules of the Demon Palace. But if Elder Zhuo succeeds as the next Palace Master of the Demon Palace, the situation will naturally be different."

The cold and smiling eyes are full of firmness and confidence.

Only then did Yi Yu let go of her hand, and sighed: "It turns out that you have already planned it all. It's useless for me to be so worried about you. Alas! You never do things that you are not sure about. I hope this time, you can get what you want." , everything is going well. You are so desperate for him, if he fails you in the future, I will definitely be at odds with him!"

Ru Mo nodded with a smile, "Go, come with me to meet Sha Zhong."

She has been to the Yueting Pavilion twice, and she knows exactly which position has hidden guards.

Ru Mo and the others avoided the hidden guards, sneaked into the waiting room, followed Nangong Ye's method, and successfully opened the mechanism of the secret room.

The door of the stone chamber opened, Sha Zhong, who was sleeping, heard the sound, opened his eyes suddenly, but closed them again soon.Inside the stone room, the light was dim, and the grass-like hair was scattered and covered most of his face.

Ru Mo took a look, raised his eyebrows slightly, stepped forward and shouted: "Elder Sha! Are you here all right?"

Sha Zhong acted as if he didn't hear it, and fell asleep peacefully.

Ru Mo sneered: "You don't have to pretend, if you are really crazy, how can you be so vigilant?"

There was still no response in the sand.Yi Yu swiped the drawn sword on Sha Zhong's neck, and shouted sharply: "If you don't get up again, I'll kill you!"

Only then did Sha Zhong open his eyes, turned his head and saw Yi Yu, his face was startled, he sat up abruptly, raised his hand to brush away the hair in front of him, and asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

Yi Yu was taken aback by his sudden movement, and then opened his eyes wide to look at the face exposed after the hair was pulled back. The bony cheeks made the eyebrows look more profound.

"Master?!!!" Yi Yu suddenly dropped the sword in his hand, took two steps forward and grabbed the man's arm, and cried out. "Why are you?"

"Yu'er? So it's you!" The sudden surprise in Sha Zhong's eyes dimmed almost imperceptibly. He stroked Yi Yu's shoulder, nodded and smiled gratifiedly: "You have grown so big, I really look like your mother..."

Sha Zhong stared at Yi Yu's bright face, his eyes were full of nostalgia, his tone was soft, and he didn't look like he was crazy at all.

"My mother? I remember ten years ago, after you taught me martial arts for the last time, you told me before leaving that my mother would come to me soon, but I have waited for so many years, but I still haven't found her. Why?"

Sadness flashed in Sha Zhong's eyes, overflowing with sorrow, he said in a trance: "Don't wait any longer, you will never wait for her..."

"Why?" Yi Yu's expression was shocked, and he asked in shock, "Is she... dead?"

Sha Zhong seemed to realize what he had just said, shook his head quickly, squeezed out a smile, and said: "No. How could she die? She was just tired of this place, so she went to a far away place, saying that she would never die again. Not coming back."

"What's the difference between that and death! Why is she so cruel? She threw me to you, Master, from the moment I was born, and only came to see me once in a few months, saying that she would take me back when I grew up." Be by my side, never leave me again... I have been waiting there for so long, but she never came! Master, can you tell me why? Why can't I live with my mother? My dad never visits me?"

Yi Yu suddenly became excited, Sha Zhong looked at her sadly, "Don't ask, just remember, your mother is for your own good!" Sha Zhong said, raised his eyes to Rumo, and asked Yi Yu: "Is she who?"

It was only then that Yi Yu remembered the purpose of coming here today, and quickly put away his sadness, and said, "She is Rumo, and she is also the master of the Demon Palace, and she is my sister. Master, I really didn't expect you to be the three elders of the Demon Palace One, is the Poison Sutra in your hands? Show me quickly."

"The master of the Demon Palace?" Sha Zhong's face was shocked, "Could it be that little girl who was planted with life and death Gu back then?"

A gloomy and ruthless light flashed from his cloudy eyes.

"That's right." Rumo nodded, his eyes flickering coldly, sharp as a blade, "Back then, it was Elder Sha who suggested planting a life-death Gu in my body, lest I become miraculous and have a rebellious heart."

Sha Zhong frowned, "But you turned against him in the end, it seems that your magical skills have already been accomplished. The child that the three elders of the Demon Palace and the Palace Master have taken a fancy to is really very good!"

Ru Mo sneered: "How can I repay this great kindness?"

Sha Zhong said: "You want to kill me?"

"Rumo!" Yi Yu couldn't help shouting.Ru Mo laughed, "I won't kill you. To you, death is a relief, not a punishment. If you want revenge, I have many ways to make your life worse than death. But, you are Yi Yu's master, I don't want to Do that. I only ask you two things, and you told me honestly, not only will I not kill you, but I will let you out."

"Those two things?"

"First, where is the Poison Sutra?"

"Destroyed by me."

"Destroyed?" Yi Yu's face changed drastically, "How could it be ruined? Master, Rumo is my best friend, a friend worthy of life and death, you..."

"I didn't lie to you." Sha Zhong said, his face stained with sadness again, "Eight years ago, the woman I loved so much was poisoned by a poison called 'Seven Day Bone Biting', this poison will After seven days and seven nights of pain, the seven orifices bled to death. At that time, I pinned all my hopes on the Poison Sutra, but when I got the Poison Sutra, I went through every page, only to find that there was nothing about' The record of the seven-day bone-biting poison. I watched my beloved woman suffer torture and die, and in a moment of grief and indignation, I destroyed the book impulsively." His eyes were filled with sorrow, just like that day The expression when the name "Yuyi" is called.

"Then...then do you remember the record about life and death Gu in the Poison Sutra? Is there any way to remove the Gu poison in Rumo's body?"

"No. If the person who cast the Gu is dead, the person who was caught by the Gu will not live for more than three years." Sha Zhong said very affirmatively.

"What? This..." Yi Yu's heart was shocked, and she hurriedly turned her head to look at Rumo, and found that Rumo's face was unusually calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.

"Let's go." Ru Mo turned around lightly, with calm eyes, without waves, like a pool of stagnant water.Yi Yu felt pain in his heart when he saw it, and shouted, "Rumo..."

Ru Mo didn't speak, just walked out, Sha Zhong looked at her back, a dark light flashed in his eyes, with a vicious color. "You haven't asked the second question yet."

Ru Mo paused, and said calmly, "There is no need to ask that question anymore."

Nangong Ye's mother, the former queen and queen of the feudal kingdom, is dead.

"You are pretending to be crazy and foolish. You would rather be imprisoned here than tell the fact that the first queen is dead. Why?"

Sha Zhong's complexion changed, "This is what you want to ask? How do you know she's dead?"

Ru Mo said: "I'm afraid Nangong Ye knew it in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it and wanted to give himself a hope. Otherwise, with his means, if he really wanted an answer, how could he treat you so favorably?"

Compared with Ye Heng, Nangong Ye treated Sha Zhong very kindly.

Sha Zhong's eyes changed slightly, "Then you..."

"Of course I won't expose this matter."

Sha Zhong seemed to be relieved a little, and Yi Yu said in a daze, "It turns out that the woman Master loves...is the first queen? But why did Master keep it from Nangong Ye?"

Sha Zhong sighed sadly: "This is her last wish before she leaves. She wants to leave hope in the hearts of her children, and she doesn't want them to avenge her. She only wants her children to live well in this world. "

Leave the children a hope that she can understand, but don't want them to take revenge...

Ru Mo frowned slightly, turned around and asked, "What kind of enemy is it that the first queen is afraid of Nangong Ye and the others seeking revenge?"

Sha Zhong's complexion changed again, his gaze was suddenly very sharp, it was straight at Rumo's eyes, Rumo didn't blink, and returned with sharper gaze.

Sha Zhong finally lowered his eyes, and felt that the woman's sensitivity was extraordinary, so he didn't intend to speak any more, and turned his back silently.Rumo also knew that she couldn't ask any more questions, so she turned and left. This time, she felt a sharper gaze piercing her back than last time, as if there was deep-seated resentment.She frowned, didn't look back, and walked away.Yi Yu followed and called her to stop, hesitating to speak.

Ru Mo sighed: "If you want to let him go, just let him go. Don't let anyone find out."

"Thank you, Rumo." Yi Yu pulled her back excitedly, his face full of gratitude.Ru Mo shook his head slightly, "I'm not all for you. Letting him go may not be a bad thing for Nangong Ye. Besides, even if I hate Sha Zhong, he is your only relative after all."
