Si Muran looked at Zi Yang pleadingly, but Zi Yang smiled and said,""Your Highness, the Eye of the Dragon Canal has been found. I've already reported to the Emperor that Miss Si needs to guard the eye of the Dragon Canal for a night to resolve all the dangers. I hope your highness can forgive me!"
Si Muran hurriedly released Pei Chenshuo's grip and ran to Zi Yang's side. Pei Chenshuo saw that Si Muran was actually anxious to escape, and an inexplicable anger rose in his heart, but Zi Yang actually used the emperor as an excuse. In the middle of the night, he could not offend the dragon's face, so he could only swallow it.
Pei Chenshuo stared at Si Muran with a half-smile.""Since Imperial Preceptor has said so, how can this king have any reason to keep him? Ting 'er, tomorrow this king will come to pick you up. Don't miss this king ah.”Pei Chenshuo's voice was full of sarcasm.
Si Muran rolled her eyes and glared at Pei Chenshuo. Pei Chenshuo pretended not to see, but his gaze naturally fell on Zi Yang.
For some reason, Pei Chenshuo did not have a good impression of Zi Yang from the first time he met him. Especially when he saw Si Muran's good attitude towards him today, Pei Chenshuo was very unhappy. Therefore, he was even more disgusted with Zi Yang.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will return Miss Si to Your Highness tomorrow.”Zi Yang said with a smile.
Si Muran immediately felt her head hurt. She did not want to go back and be Pei Chenshuo's concubine. Pei Chenshuo nodded in satisfaction. Zi Yang looked at Si Muran and said," Miss Si, please."
It would be best if she could escape from the clutches of the devil. Si Muran could not wait to leave with Zi Yang without looking back. Pei Chenshuo looked at Si Muran walking away and shook his head.""Do you think you can escape from me?"
Si Muran's entire body trembled, as if a cold aura had assaulted her. She shivered and quickened her pace.
Si Muran had thought that Zi Yang's request for her to guard the Eye of the Dragon Canal was just an excuse, but it turned out to be true! Si Muran was a little embarrassed. She held a torch in her hand and went to the eye of the dragon canal that Zi Yang had mentioned.
Zi Yang stood beside her and said,"This place used to be a temple, but it was later defeated." I heard that this place is often haunted at night. Are you afraid?”Zi Yang glanced at Si Muran.
Si Muran shuddered. What was Zi Yang up to? He actually used the ghost story to scare her. Fortunately, she was a modern person from the 21st century. In her era, science was emphasized, and she did not believe in supernatural beings.
"I haven't seen a ghost yet. It's not bad for me to see one.”Si Muran said nonchalantly as she raised her torch and looked around.
Zi Yang was shocked, and the smile on his lips was a little intense.""In that case, I'm relieved. Miss Si, thank you for staying here for the night. I'm going back."
Si Muran was starting to suspect that Zi Yang was deliberately going easy on her. Leaving her alone in this ruined temple outside the palace? If he didn't run now, when would he?
"Alright, State Preceptor, take care." Si Muran lowered her head, but a faint smile appeared on her face.
Zi Yang nodded and disappeared into the black fog.
Si Muran watched Zi Yang walk away. She raised her torch and looked around. It was terrifyingly quiet here. There was no one around. Si Muran felt that this was the best opportunity. Instead of going back to be Pei Chenshuo's concubine tomorrow, she might as well take the opportunity to slip away. The world was vast, and everywhere was home. It was much better than the Imperial Residence!
Si Muran thought about it and started walking, preparing to find a way to escape. However, the more Si Muran walked, the more she realized that she seemed to be walking in circles. Si Muran immediately understood that perhaps she had encountered the legendary ghost wall!
Si Muran searched the Encyclopedia in her mind and soon found out the reason. Si Muran was unable to tell the path in front of her due to the darkness in front of her. In other words, her thoughts and footsteps were not in sync.
Si Muran took a deep breath to extricate herself from this chaotic situation. With the help of the torch in her hand, Si Muran walked for a while before she found the entrance of the dilapidated temple.
Si Muran was about to go in and take a look, but when she stepped in, she saw the ruined temple looking like it had suffered a crushing defeat. Spider webs were everywhere, and the doors and windows were severely damaged, as if they had some history.
Si Muran walked towards the backyard with light footsteps. Before she entered, she heard a commotion. Si Muran panicked and quickly stopped in her tracks to extinguish the torch in her hand.
Si Muran used the faint light coming from the front to slowly get closer. She hid in front of the door and looked through the gap.
Not far away, there seemed to be a few Taoist priests and a man talking about something. Si Muran didn't see the man's face clearly, but she recognized him based on his voice. It was Jinlin.
"I've long known about the gunpowder technology of your Void Tranquil Sect, and I'm here today to trade with you.”Jin Lin explained his purpose.
The leader was an elder of the Ningxu Sect, and his subordinates were his disciples. "What do you want this gunpowder for?”The elder asked.
"We're just here to make a deal. I don't think I need to tell you my purpose, right?" Jin Lin replied with a smile.”
"Could it be that the Jin family wants to rebel?" the elder asked with a frown.”
Jin Lin held his hand to signal the elder not to speculate."Elder, stop guessing. This is a check for fifty thousand taels of silver.”
The elder looked at Jin Lin's expression and immediately understood. He did not ask further and replied,"The gunpowder that Young Master Jin needs is troublesome to make. I'll send someone to inform Young Master to collect it when it's ready.”
"Alright." Jin Lin nodded.
Si Muran, who was not far away, could not help but frown when she heard them trading gunpowder. When she heard that the group of Taoist priests dressed up as people from the Ningxu Sect, Si Muran naturally thought of the deceased Tianxuan. Si Muran had wanted to explain the matter of Tianxuan to them and was thinking about how she could get out without being suspected.
Jinlin was alerted when he suddenly heard movement not far away. He questioned sternly,"Who's there?"
Si Muran was shocked. She wanted to escape, but she kept making mistakes. The shabby door that she was hiding in fell down with a bang. Si Muran looked at the broken door with embarrassment and couldn't help but cough a few times.
Jinlin had already closed in. He grabbed her neck with one hand and pulled her over. "It's you. Why are you here?" There was a hint of killing intent in Jin Lin's tone.
Si Muran was still coughing. The dust from earlier had really made her uncomfortable.
"Did you hear our conversation?”Jin Lin's pressing tone made Si Muran tremble.
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop. Really, I promise I don't know anything.”Si Muran knew what kind of person Jinlin was. She was afraid that Jinlin would not let her off so easily this time.
"You know, the dead keep secrets the best.”Jin Lin's words made Si Muran feel that she was doomed.
Just as Si Muran was about to close her eyes and welcome the grim reaper, she suddenly heard a voice calling for her to save her life.
"Wait." The one who spoke was the elder of the Void Tranquil Sect who had made a deal with Jin Lin.
Si Muran suddenly opened her eyes, waiting for him to beg for mercy. The elder walked forward with a torch in his hand and shone it at Si Muran. Suddenly, he asked,""What is this?"
As she spoke, she reached out and pulled the human skin mask off Si Muran's face. Si Muran cursed in her heart,'Damn you, I thought you were here to save me.' Aren't you pushing me to death?
With a swoosh, the human skin mask on Si Muran's face was torn off by the elder.
Stunned, Jin Lin looked at Si Muran in shock.""So it's you?"
"That's right, it's me." Si Muran glared at Jin Lin. You kidnapped me last time, and now you want to kill me again. What do I have to worry about with you?”
Jin Lin was speechless for a moment. However, he heard the elder of the Void Tranquil Sect sizing up the human skin mask in his hand as if he had discovered a treasure."This is unbelievable. Mr. Jin, can you hand this lady over to us?”
Jinlin was stunned. He thought for a moment and said,"Of course I can give her to you, but I want to use her to exchange for something with you."”
Si Muran despised Jinlin more and more after hearing what he said.
"What do you want to exchange?" the elder asked curiously.”
"Thunderbolt Bullet," said Jin Lin with a smile.
The elder frowned slightly. Although the power of the thunderbolt bullet was not as powerful as gunpowder, its power could not be underestimated. The elder nodded.”As he spoke, he signaled for his disciples to fetch the Thunderbolt Bullet.
In a short while, the disciple brought over a box of thunderbolt bullets.
Jinlin took it happily and said to the elder,"You can do whatever you want with this girl.”
The elder looked as if he had obtained a treasure and said to his disciples,"Bring this lady to my sect's branch and take good care of her.”
"Yes," the disciple nodded.”
Seeing Si Muran being taken away, Jin Lin did not intend to stay for long, so he bade farewell to the elder and left the dilapidated temple.
After Jin Lin left, a disciple beside the elder asked in confusion,"This subordinate doesn't understand why Elder would use such a precious thunderbolt bullet to exchange for a girl's life?”
The elder stroked his beard and looked at the human skin mask that Si Muran had taken off.""Don't you think this idea is very novel? If I'm not wrong, this thing must have originated from the Heavenly Works Canon.”
The disciple nodded in realization."This subordinate understands."
"Let's go back to the branch." The elder smiled.”As he spoke, he left with the others.
Behind them, a person who had been hiding in the dark suddenly jumped out. Pei Chenshuo was afraid that Si Muran would be in danger, so he had been following her in the dark. He did not expect him to discover this scene.
No wonder he always thought that Si Ting and Si Muran were similar. It turned out that they were the same person. This woman was really capable. He did not know what method she used to change her appearance, but he did not notice anything wrong at all!
Pei Chenshuo gritted his teeth. Knowing that Si Muran was not dead, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart. But thinking about Si Muran being taken away by the Ningxu Sect, Pei Chenshuo was secretly worried.
Pei Chenshuo thought about it and immediately followed the elders of the Ningxu Sect, planning to sneak into their branch and take the opportunity to rescue Si Muran.
While Pei Chenshuo was following the elder of the Ningxu Sect, Zi Yang, who was dressed in purple, appeared not far away. He looked at Pei Chenshuo's slightly anxious footsteps and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Pei Chenshuo's mind was always on Si Muran, so he did not notice the danger approaching.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 24PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
