Sheng Yue's Confession
Yuan Ying followed behind with the food box and book box. She thought that Gu Ling was going to take Sheng Yue to Yuanming Pavilion to find Su Liang, but halfway Gu Ling suddenly grabbed Sheng Yue's arm and turned into an uninhabited house. courtyard.
It is not accurate to say that there is no one. There is no one on the ground. There are three prisoners in the dungeon: Nangong Lin, Yue Mei and Nian Ruxue.
The underground secret room under Yuanming Pavilion has always been used to lock people in temporarily, and it is inconvenient to keep people there for a long time. The only value these three people have now is to test medicine and poison for Su Liang, Gu Ling and Wen Ming Laobai.
Gu Ling opened the entrance to the dungeon, Sheng Yue's expression remained calm, "Is this your sincerity in cooperation?"
Gu Ling looked indifferent and said, "You have come a long way. Let's take a rest first before talking about anything else. This is my sincerity in hospitality."
Sheng Yue sighed slightly and did not resist. He walked into the dungeon obediently and let Gu Ling tie his feet with black iron chains.
The movement caused Nangong Lin, who was curled up in another cell, to slowly sit up and look over. The dungeon was dark, but it was dark enough for him to recognize Gu Ling at a glance. He grabbed the cold iron railing with both hands and dragged his stiff body over. His voice was weak and he said in a weak voice, "Disciple... Ling'er... I'm so pitiful for my master. I'm so kind to you!"
Gu Ling didn't even look at Nangong Lin. Recently, he tried several medicines on him, which made him realize that life was truly worse than death. He stopped cursing Gu Ling and Su Liang and kept begging for his life.
But Gu Ling knew very well a person like Nangong Lin who had no moral bottom line: if he were to let him go, once he was allowed to seize the opportunity, he would definitely fight back crazily and continue to harm others. This kind of person regards other people's lives as nothing, relying on their martial arts skills to treat other people's lives lightly, but when it is their turn, they are greedy for life and afraid of death to the extreme.
Sheng Yue had already identified the three prisoners who lived in the dungeon before him, and asked, "Why don't you get rid of them and get rid of them all?"
"Test the poison." Gu Ling replied, "You have a special constitution and I need to borrow some of your blood."
Sheng Yue was slightly stunned when he heard the last sentence, "Do you want to cooperate with me, or do you just want to catch me?"
"Let's talk." After Gu Ling finished speaking, he closed the cell door and turned around to leave.
"Can you untie the rope on my hand? It's too tight." Sheng Yue asked.
Gu Ling didn't even look back. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away and disappeared out of sight.
It was dark in the dungeon, but it was no colder underground than outside. When Sheng Yue saw Nangong Lin staring straight at him, he didn't speak. Instead, he waited for Nangong Lin to ask, "Sheng Yue? Is that you?"
They had met once before, and Nangong Lin recognized Sheng Yue's voice.
Sheng Yue didn't answer. In Nangong Lin's view, this was acquiescence. He suddenly became excited, "Why were you arrested too? Where is your master Mo Yan? Is he dead?"
"Not dead." Sheng Yue spoke in a low voice, "But if you wait for Mo Yan to rescue you after defeating Gu Ling, you don't have to dream."
When Nangong Lin heard this, he loosened his grip and fell to the ground, crying, "If I had known this, I should have strangled him to death... threw him to death..." This was of course the young Gu Ling he was talking about.
Yue Mei sat in a dark corner, watching everything with cold eyes, her eyes dark and sinister, as if all her hair had fallen out, leaving only a skinny vulture.
Nian Ruxue was asleep when she was woken up by the sound of crying. She discovered that a new person had arrived. She didn't recognize Sheng Yue for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"
Sheng Yue closed his eyes and ignored it.
Nangong Lin answered Nian Ruxue's question, "Sheng Yue, he is Sheng Yue... Mo Yan's most capable subordinate! He was also caught, hahahaha... trash... they are all trash! I shouldn't believe it you!"
Nian Ruxue's expression froze when she heard this, and she murmured, "How could it be..." In her eyes, Sheng Yue's strength could rival Gu Ling's.
Since Gu Ling locked Sheng Yue here, he was not afraid of them communicating with each other. And Sheng Yue also knew very well that those three losers couldn't provide any useful information. He didn't know much about many things, so he didn't bother to pay attention to them.
…
When Yuan Ying entered Yuanming Pavilion, Su Liang had already learned about Sheng Yue from Qi Yan and Nangong Qian. Ji Yuebai also arrived with her children and was telling Su Liang the whole story of his acquaintance with "Cheng Feng".
"Sorry, I'm not vigilant enough." Ji Yuebai sighed.
Su Liang shook his head, "If he didn't harm you, it's nothing. If you don't go with him, he will still come."
Ji Xiaoshu, who was sitting on Ji Yuebai's lap, frowned and complained to Ji Yuebai, "Dad, you are so careless. You bring people of unknown origin with you. Fortunately, Master and Master had a plan, so that bad guy didn't harm you!"
Ji Yuebai quickly admitted her mistake, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Thank you, Master."
"That's right." Ji Xiaoshu hummed, "Master's wife is so generous, for my sake I won't be angry with you."
Su Liang chuckled, "Yes. For Xiao Shu's sake, I won't care about King Yan's mistakes this time."
"Why hasn't Xiao Gu brought Sheng Yue over yet?" Ji Yuebai looked at the door, "Don't try to cheat again, Master..."
Ji Yuebai's master was about to get up and go out to check, when he saw Yuan Ying coming in, "It's okay, Xiao Gu locked Sheng Yue in the dungeon."
"Master, please sit down quickly. I'll get you some delicious food!" Ji Xiaoshu slipped off Ji Yuebai's legs and ran upstairs quickly.
"My son has really grown up." Ji Yuebai sighed, and then said to Su Liang, "Thank you so much for you and Xiao Gu." It wasn't that no one took care of Ji Xiaoshu, but that he was unhappy in Prince Yan's Mansion. He seems playful but becomes depressed after losing his mother. Gu Ling and Su Liang gave Ji Xiaoshu a new home that made him happy.
"Why are you being polite? Xiaoshu is mine." Su Liang smiled. She and Gu Ling have no sons, and they don't plan to have any more for the time being. She likes the two kids at home very much, so she raises them as her own sons.
Ji Yuebai laughed, "You're right!"
Yuan Ying had already taken the vegetarian food that Gu Ling brought back from Huguo Temple out of the food box, but because of the delay, it was a little cold. Su Liang said to heat it up later before eating.
Ji Xiaoshu came down from upstairs, holding a box. Yuan Ye took a look and said with a smile, "Small dried oranges!"
Those were the small dried oranges that Gu Ling learned to make from Madam Lin. They were sour and sweet and delicious. Ji Xiaoshu specially left some for Ji Yuebai.
After Ji Xiaoshu fed Ji Yuebai and his master to taste, Ji Yuebai nodded, "It's delicious."
"This is made by my master!" Ji Xiaoshu was quite proud.
Seeing Gu Ling coming in, Ji Yuebai smiled and said, "Xiao Gu, your position in my son's heart is higher than mine."
Gu Ling looked at Ji Xiaoshu, "Really?"
Ji Xiaoshu shook his head immediately, "What is there to fight for? Of course, my favorite is the master's wife!"
After sitting for a while, Ji Yuebai did not ask Gu Ling how he planned to deal with Sheng Yue, and then he stood up and said goodbye. He still had a wife and children in the Yanwang Mansion.
Ji Yuebai hugged Ji Xiaoshu again, "Are you going home with Dad?"
"No, Aunt Yuan and Uncle Ershan are getting married, I have something to do, remember to go to the wedding tomorrow! See you then!" Ji Xiaoshu waved his hand very casually.
Ji Yuebai rubbed Ji Xiaoshu's head, "Okay, see you tomorrow." After saying that, he left with his master.
The children went to the kitchen to see if Qiuyue and Wen Ran had finished their meal, and Gu Ling and Su Liang went upstairs. Wen Mingzheng and Lao Bai were discussing the fact that Sheng Yue was immune to all poisons, and they both agreed that they should take some of his blood to study whether it had any detoxifying effect.
Su Liang listened to Gu Ling's story and Sheng Yue's statement, and thought, "It seems that Pu Cheng found him, and he came after seeing our letter. But even if he surrendered, I don't think he can be trusted."
Gu Ling agreed, otherwise he wouldn't have thrown Sheng Yue into the dungeon, "Let's wait and see."
...
The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month is a good time to get married.
Lin Qi led the wedding procession with music and drums to the gate of the Su Mansion.
The gate-blocking team went out again, led by Ji Xiaoshu, Zheng'er and Yuanye, and this time the children also asked Gu Ling to help.
The last time Qi Jun married Ren Dong, the children blocked the door once, and this time Qi Jun informed Lin Qi in advance. When Lin Qi learned that Qi Jun passed the test smoothly, he felt that he had no problem. But in fact, Qi Jun concealed an important part: as an insider, Su Liang had revealed the answer to him in advance, so it was not difficult at all.
This time, Gu Ling "made it with all her heart" for Lin Qi, and did not give him the opportunity to cheat.
The second question stumped Lin Qi, "Give me another hint!"
"Uncle Ershan, keep going!" Zheng'er encouraged warmly.
Lin Qi was so anxious that he scratched his head, "Xiaoshu, please make some concessions, and your uncle will give you a treasure later!"
"No bribes! You can make some concessions. Originally there were ten questions, but now you can come in as long as you get five correct!" Ji Xiaoshu said that this was a task assigned by the master's wife. Aunt Yuan got up late, hadn't dressed up yet, and the time was not up yet, so there was no rush.
Zheng'er still gave Lin Qi a hint, and Lin Qi quickly answered the second question.
Ji Xiaoshu covered Zheng'er's mouth, "Big Brother, don't betray me."
Zheng'er nodded, but he gave another hint for the third question.
"Master, arrest the eldest brother!" Ji Xiaoshu commanded.
Gu Ling glanced at him coldly, "I said, I like Zheng'er more."
Ji Xiaoshu: ...
Yuanye climbed to the top of the wall and waved at Lin Qi, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"
Lin Qi's eyes lit up, "Xiao Ye, help me!"
Yuanye stretched out his hand, "Okay! Brother-in-law, stretch out your hand, I'll pull you over!"
Lin Qi coughed lightly, "No need, go back quickly."
Although it was not easy, Lin Qi still answered the five questions with the help of Zheng'er. Yuanye opened the door and hugged Lin Qi, "Brother-in-law! Shall my sister and I go to your house to sleep today?"
Lin Qi hurriedly coaxed Yuanye, "Xiao Ye, you can go another day." Just kidding, the wedding night can't be disturbed by others, especially the naughty Ji Xiaoshu!
Seeing Lin Qi looking over, Ji Xiaoshu hurriedly bowed, "Congratulations, Uncle Lin! I wish Uncle Lin and Aunt Yuan a happy marriage and a baby soon!"
Lin Qi couldn't help but smile when he saw the cute children sending him blessings, "Thank you!" Then he walked in with big strides, patted Gu Ling on the shoulder when passing by, "Thank you very much, Gu Xiaoling!"
Zheng'er pulled Yuan Ye and ran in front of Lin Qi, "Hurry! Uncle Xiao Ye, you still have to see Aunt Yuan out!"
Hearing the noise outside, Su Liang covered Yuan Ying with a red veil, and saw Yuan Ye rushing in, "Sister! Brother-in-law is here!"
Su Liang asked Yuan Ye to carry Yuan Ying on her back, and Yuan Ye went to lift the veil to see what Yuan Ying looked like after putting on makeup.
So, Lin Qi stood outside the courtyard gate and heard Zheng'er exclaiming, "Wow! Aunt Yuan is so beautiful today!"
Lin Qi looked inside, but couldn't see anything, and was so anxious.
Soon, Yuan Ye came out with Yuan Ying on his back, and when he got to the gate, he said seriously what Su Liang had taught him, "Brother-in-law, you have to be nice to my sister, or I'll beat you up!"
Lin Qi's attention was all on Yuan Ying, and he nodded without hesitation, "I will, I swear."
Everything went smoothly afterwards, and the Lin family held a lively wedding and invited many guests.
When Zheng'er, Ji Xiaoshu and Yuanye were taken over by Gu Ling, they happened to catch up with the newlyweds.
Ji Yuebai was also there, holding her youngest son in her arms. When the youngest son saw Ji Xiaoshu, he clapped his hands happily, "Brother! Brother!"
Ji Xiaoshu ran over, hugged his brother over, and asked Ji Yuebai, "Dad, please prepare betrothal gifts for me and my brother when you have time."
Ji Yuebai coughed lightly, "Is it too early?"
"We will grow up soon! I also want to marry a wife as good as my wife!" Ji Xiaoshu expressed his ideal.
Ji Yuebai nodded repeatedly, "If you are ambitious, come on, son, I will take care of the betrothal gift on my father."
After worshiping and entering the bridal chamber, the children went to play in the bridal chamber for a while before being driven away.
According to the rules, Lin Wei has not seen Yuan Ying for three days. He used the scale beam to lift the red hijab, his eyes were stunning. Yuan Ying's facial features were originally bright and beautiful, but after being modified by Su Liang's skillful hands, she became even more beautiful, which made Lin Xin couldn't help but marvel, "Why am I so lucky to marry such a beautiful fairy!"
Yuan Ying laughed, "Wipe the saliva from the corner of your mouth."
Lin Xian subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it, then realized that he was teased, he smiled, quickly drank a glass of wine, took off Yuan Ying's headdress, and then threw her down.
He abstained from sex as soon as he started having sex. God knows how hard it was for him, but finally he was able to enter the bridal chamber again.
It was already afternoon when Gu Ling returned home with the children after drinking the wedding wine.
"Master, what should I do with that bad guy? Do you want to kill him?" Ji Xiaoshu was still thinking about Sheng Yue.
Gu Ling shook his head, "If we don't kill him for now, it's still useful."
Not long after, when the children were playing in the open space at the entrance of Yuanming Pavilion, they saw Gu Ling taking Sheng Yue to the pavilion on the other side of the lake, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
"Senior Brother, that bad guy is missing one hand, how can he pee?" Ji Xiaoshu asked Zheng'er.
Zheng'er coughed lightly, "It's okay to do it with one hand..."
"Hmph! He also changed his name to Chengfeng, and it sounds like he is a brother to Uncle Chengyun. How shameless!" Ji Xiaoshu complained.
Zheng'er nodded, "Indeed. Although he is really Uncle Chengyun's biological brother, he is too mean to Uncle Chengyun!"
…
Gu Ling didn't know what the children were talking about. He untied the rope on Sheng Yue's body, but did not untie the chain on his feet because he was not afraid that he would run away.
"When did you go to Xingluo Island? Since Mo Yan knows your mother, why didn't he recognize you?" Gu Ling asked.
"You know, I look like my father." Sheng Yue looked at the children playing on the other side, his eyes fell on Yuan Ye, his expression indifferent, "Mo Yan has never met my father, because my father is a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death. , good at hiding.”
"Where's Pucheng?" Gu Ling asked.
"I don't know." Sheng Yue shook his head, "His martial arts has been ruined by you, and it is useless to me. I let him go, and let him go wherever he wants."
"Put your hand here." Gu Ling pointed to the table, and there was a sharp knife and a porcelain bottle in his hand.
Sheng Yue knew what Gu Ling was going to do and didn't refuse. He put his only hand on the table and let Gu Ling cut his wrist with a knife and let the blood flow into the porcelain bottle.
When the bottle was almost full, Gu Ling stopped, put down the knife, sprinkled the hemostatic powder on Sheng Yue's wrist, and wrapped the wound with gauze.
Then Gu Ling flew across the lake, entered Yuanming Pavilion, and handed the blood he collected to Su Liang. Wen Ming and Lao Bai are also waiting.
Sheng Yue saw Su Liang's figure flash past the second-floor window of Yuanming Pavilion. He narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his head, and pressed the wound with his free right arm.
Soon, Gu Ling came back again.
"For the sake of my cooperation, can you answer a question for me?" Sheng Yue asked.
"Tell me." Gu Ling wiped the blood on the table with a wet cloth.
"You can predict the future, right?" Sheng Yue asked.
Gu Ling shook his head, "No."
Sheng Yue frowned slightly, "You didn't tell the truth."
"Believe it or not, it's up to you," Gu Ling said.
"How did you come here? My mother said that this is called a parallel world, and she accidentally fell into the gate of time and space." Sheng Yue said, "Is the forbidden area on Xingluo Island the gate of time and space? These are I don’t understand much about it, but I think you must know it.”
Gu Ling asked, "How did your mother die?"
Sheng Yue was stunned for a moment and sighed, "After all, you discovered something was wrong. Indeed, my mother did not die in the forbidden area of Xingluo Island. Otherwise, if she couldn't go back, Mo Yan should have given up her obsession long ago. I My mother’s death was related to Xingluo Island, but she actually died at the hands of my father.”
Gu Ling's eyes narrowed slightly as Sheng Yue continued, "My mother was discovered by Mo Yan after she gave birth to me. According to my father, before that, my mother had already accepted her fate and never thought about going back. She was taken to Xingluo Island and learned about the forbidden area. But before Mo Yan could do anything to my mother, his daughter, your mother-in-law, rescued my mother and escaped with her. This is it. Why does your wife have the same two jade pendants as my brother? They are tokens of our friendship after we shared hardships together."
"Later, my mother reunited with my father and soon became pregnant with Chengyun. But as time went by, my mother could never forget the forbidden area of Xingluo Island. After discovering that there was a way, she wanted to go back to where she was before. He also said that if she could come back, it would mean that the road is open and she would definitely come to pick us up again and live a more civilized and beautiful life, a thousand times better than here. "
"My father naturally tried his best to dissuade her. My mother wanted to run away from home to Xingluo Island as soon as she gave birth to Chengyun, but she was taken back by my father several times. The last time, they had a fierce quarrel and even fought. I saw my father push my mother down with my own eyes, and her head hit the knife on the ground." Sheng Yue's face was still calm, and his eyes were like a deep pool without waves. "After my mother died, my father was heartbroken, so he took Chengyun to become a monk. He wanted to take me with him, but I refused. Everyone has their own aspirations. As a son, I don't want to blame any of them, and I still don't understand their so-called love. But it's not wrong to say that Mo Yan destroyed my family and killed my mother, isn't it? Maybe, I just want to see what kind of paradise the road that made my mother willing to abandon us leads to."
