Lights on the other side

Chapter 54

There is a lotus city under Mingzhou.

The name is beautiful, and the city is also beautiful, especially now that spring has come, and people will hold activities called spring night tours to celebrate.When Sheng Wuxia and Jiang Qing came to Lotus City, they happened to catch up.

People gather on the main street, wearing beautiful clothes, and the various small shops next to it are lit.In restaurants, rich people spend a lot of money.There are river lanterns floating in the melting ice river, with beautiful wishes written on them, the river is winding, and the lotus lanterns float into the distance.

Fire trees and silver flowers are everywhere, radiant and colorful.

This is close to Wuxitian, and some peaceful scenery has been left just now.The two walked through the crowd, and since they had no money, Sheng Wuxia could only watch.There was a couplet in front, Sheng Wuxia touched Jiang Qing's hand, pointed at the stall, and said, "Young Master Jiang, are you interested?"

Jiang Qing didn't say yes or no, but followed Sheng Wuxia's footsteps to the booth.

"Back and forth, bitterness and joy, looking up at the world for a hundred years, looking back at the bright moon."

Seeing the topic, Sheng Wuxia thought for a while, and then said: "How many things, life and death are the same, leaning over the mountains and rivers for thousands of years, wherever you want."

His voice was clear and bright, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Someone said: "What a casual world, young master is really chic."

"Don't dare."

After hearing this, the stall owner handed Sheng Wuxia a golden mask with engraved patterns.

"This is……"

"There will be prizes for those who come up."

"Oh? Really? Thank you so much."

Sheng Wuxia held the mask in his hand and looked behind him. Jiang Qing was looking at him expressionlessly across several people, so he hurried over.

"Returning to people thousands of miles, like people and ghosts."

This is the question this time, only eight short words.There was a circle of people around, all thinking about what to do, mixed with whispering, a few young women kept looking at Sheng Wuxia and Jiang Qing.

Under the lamp, Sheng Wuxia's eyes were clear, and after all these years, he still gave off a youthful feeling.Jiang Qing is very calm, although she is in the crowd, she seems to be walking alone forever, and there is always a kind of isolation that cannot be erased.Sheng Wuxia hadn't seen many ghost hunters, but he had also heard that such people were very withdrawn, presumably because he was used to being alone and was not used to the fireworks in the world.

He walked up to Jiang Qing and asked, "What is Mr. Jiang thinking?"

"A dream of yellow beams is like a dream like a prison."

Sheng Wuxia was taken aback, and asked, "Which jade?"

Jiang Qing said: "The prison of hell."

"It's okay for ghosts to be against prison, but it's just not right."

"En." Jiang Qing nodded.

"Then...then let's go." Sheng Wuxia was worried that Jiang Qing was tired of the game, and thought that she would also get a mask, so she wouldn't stay here anymore. It's better to walk around and find a place to stay for the night as soon as possible.

As the two walked, fireworks were set off in the sky, and the blossoms were gorgeous, but they fell in an instant.Jiang Qing didn't seem to be very interested in this, and she almost kept her eyes straight when walking.Originally, Sheng Wuxia folded his arms and planned to take a look, but when he saw the black figure in front of him, he immediately lost his mind.

The man doesn't seem to have noticed him yet.

Sheng Wuxia hurriedly put on the mask in his hand, trying to cover his face.In the midst of people coming and going, he was wrapped in the crowd and was immediately blocked by the people coming and going.In a blink of an eye, Jiang Qing disappeared before his eyes.

Sheng Wuxia looked around in the crowd, went back and forth several times, but couldn't find it.The figure in black disappeared, so he found a stall selling snacks, intending to take a rest and see where Jiang Qing was.

The sound of joy is endless, and the faint fragrance makes people feel happy.Of course, this does not include Sheng Wuxia. He is still holding his heart and has no time to care about other things. He just wants to find Jiang Qing and leave as soon as possible.He stood by the side of the stall, his eyes falling on the crowd.

His wrist was suddenly grabbed behind his back.

"Master Jiang?"

Sheng Wuxia turned her head, but her pupils suddenly shrank.

"You think I can't see it's you?"

The person in front of him was smiling but not smiling, his lips were blood-stained red, reminding him of the words "like a man, like a ghost".Sheng Wuxia took a step back in shock, but his wrist was still tightly held.

"Where else do you want to go?"

Hearing this, Sheng Wuxia restrained her mind. She didn't want so many people beside her to be involved, so she could only let herself be dragged forward.The two walked out of the crowd and came to the bank of a river.There were few people on the bank of the river, and the river was pitch black, except for a few solitary lanterns floating on the water.

He remained silent, wondering what the observer's next move would be.

Qu Xuese chuckled, and stretched out her hand to take off the golden engraved mask.

Under the mask is still the cold and indifferent face, with clear eyebrows, like a glass of sake.Only this time, at the moment when the mask slid across the face, the Liushuang sword came out of its sheath, following the bright moonlight, the blade cut towards Qu Xuese's neck, but stopped less than an inch away from the skin.

"You saved me, so I won't kill you, but please do it yourself."

Qu Xuese said casually: "It's as if you can kill me."

"Try." Sheng Wuxia has always been a patient person, but now he can't keep up.

But Jiang Qing came over at this time, his steps were not in a hurry, he directly ignored the slightly strange atmosphere and the Frost Sword in Sheng Wuxia's hand, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Qu Xue looked serious and said, "Follow me back."

"..."

"You think those people will let you live?"

Sheng Wuxia said coldly: "This is my own business, it has nothing to do with you."

After a while, he said again: "Young Master Jiang, this has nothing to do with you, you can go first."

Jiang Qing glanced between them, and only said lightly: "Oh."

Qu Xueshen blocked the blade with her breath, and struck at Sheng Wuxia's side with her hand.

Sheng Wuxia thought, this kind of insult once is enough, but Qu Xuese wanted to do it a second time, he was not weak enough to survive under the protection of others, let alone the other party was this person, and his expression became more and more cold at the moment.It's just that because of his body injuries, it was difficult to gain the upper hand. After several moves, his breath was unstable, but Qu Xuese spotted the flaw.

There was a flash of blood in front of his eyes, but there was no pain anywhere on his body.

Sheng Wuxia stabilized his body, and when he looked again, he found that a dagger had penetrated Qu Xuese's palm.It should be very painful, but Qu Xue'er's face changed, but he didn't make any sound. He gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger, blood gushed out immediately, covering the entire palm.

"Go." A deep voice came from beside my ear.

It was Jiang Qing who supported his shoulders and pulled him out of Qu Xuese's attack range.

The two walked against the wind and ran fast.Looking back, Qu Xuese was no longer there.

Sheng Wuxia knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so she ran out of Lotus City overnight.

The liveliness was left behind, and the coldness struck.

Sheng Wuxia stopped and took a breath.Jiang Qing turned her head to look at him, the moment when the moonlight was covered by layers of dark clouds, Sheng Wuxia had a feeling of being hunted for no reason, which made him just want to keep running away.But he had obviously escaped from Lotus City and Qu Xuese.

"Master Jiang, you..."

"Let's go." Jiang Qing turned around, ignored him, and focused on brushing away the weeds in front of her.

Sheng Wuxia followed behind, his heart beating a little anxiously, with an indescribable feeling of shock and fear.

Two days later, the two arrived in Yinzhou.Sheng Wuxia immediately went to the Wuxi Heaven.Xue Danggui was arranging the classics in the room, and was a little surprised to see him.

"What about Pei Shi?"

"Huh? He heard that you were in Lingzhou, so he went to look for you. What's the matter? Didn't he meet you?"
