Chapter 81 Mandarin Duck and Butterfly Tears

At night, the wind was slightly cool.

Zhou Xuan carried a pot of wine and sat casually on the treetop, looking at the infatuated couple hugging each other in the pavilion in the lake from a distance, and poured himself a glass of wine.

He drank it all.

Soon, he disappeared on the tree.

Everything was on track and there was no change. Zhou Xuan just had to pay attention quietly.

The next evening, Fang's house.

"Miss, it's not good!"

"What's wrong, Xiao'e."

The weather was getting colder, and Fang Qulan was preparing to knit a warm winter coat for her lover. Seeing the maid rushing into the house, she stopped her action and asked curiously.

"Miss, I just passed by the reception room and saw the master meeting a purple-robed official."

Purple robe?

That's at least a third-rank official. The one who came to Songyang County recently was Shangguan.

I heard that a shocking case happened in Ningyang County, and the other party was ordered to investigate, but no one knew what this official was doing in Songyang County.

Thinking of this, Fang Qulan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Xiao'e, what did my father talk about with that purple-robed gentleman?"

As Fang Qulan's personal maid, Xiao'e naturally knew that the young lady and Liu Shize were in love with each other. As a maid, she was actually very satisfied with Liu Shize.

But at this time, her voice trembled, "Young lady, the master, he is suing the Liu family."

Fang Qulan almost fainted, her lips trembling slightly, "Is he trying to frame me?"

Thinking of this, Fang Qulan hurried out and soon came to the reception room, watching her father respectfully escort the Shangguan imperial envoy out of the Fang family.

After Fang Anwen returned, Fang Qulan hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's going on?"

"What's going on?"

Fang Anwen looked at his daughter with disgust:

"I might as well tell you that Lord Shangguan is investigating a major corruption case, and the Liu family is involved. If it's not today, then tomorrow, they will face a catastrophe."

"It's useless for you to go and tip off the news now. Jinyiwei will investigate the Liu family soon. I advise you to give up that idea. My daughter, Fang Anwen, will not be allowed to marry into the Liu family even if she dies."

Glancing at the woman who was struck by lightning, He still thought the blow was not enough:

"Speaking of which, you also have a great contribution."

"You have a secret meeting with that little beast every day, so that old man will focus all his energy on you and have no time to take care of me. Only then can I secretly hand over the evidence of the Liu family's suspected corruption case to Lord Shangguan."

Fang Anwen laughed as he spoke, and he patted his daughter's shoulder, "Lucky to have you, lucky to have you."

Puff--

Fang Anwen looked down in shock with a sharp pain, and saw Fang Qulan's hand passing through his chest, looking at him coldly.

"You...you are not my daughter, you are...a monster?"

Fang Qulan had no expression on her face, "Today, I will destroy the Fang family."

"Don't..."

However, before Fang Anwen finished speaking, his consciousness fell into endless darkness.

When Fang Anwen died, Fang Qulan threw his body aside. She didn't really want to massacre the Fang family, but just said it to Fang Anwen.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the street.

Fang Qulan's face changed, and she subconsciously covered her chest for a moment. She took a breath, but still rushed to the Liu family.

Shangguan Wen was an imperial envoy, so a small Liu family naturally didn't need him to go out.

Once the Jinyiwei went out, there was no one around in a short while.

The one who came to search the house was a Jinyiwei centurion. He looked up at the drizzling weather and cursed inwardly.

After taking a breath, he shouted, "Brothers, Liu Qifeng of the Liu family in Songyang County is communicating with foreign invaders and betraying the country for glory. Our goal is to find solid evidence. Search for me! Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy."

"Yes!"

Soon, the Liu family was surrounded.

One by one, the housekeepers, servants, and maids of the Liu family were brought to the front yard, all trembling with fear.

Liu Qifeng was furious, "Absurd, absurd! My Liu family is a family of scholars, we are virtuous and loyal, and we always worship Mr. Minghu. How could we communicate with foreign invaders and betray our country for glory?"

"Master Liu, you are confessing without being asked." The captain laughed, "Mr. Minghu you mentioned is secretly corrupt, but in fact he is supporting the enemy country. It has been verified that he has committed treason."

"What? This is impossible!"

Liu Qifeng's face turned pale instantly.

And Liu Gao, who was standing next to him, protected her son Liu Shize, bit her lips tightly and said nothing.

Fang Qulan's appearance appeared in Liu Shize's mind, and his expression was miserable.

This fate is really unpredictable, but fortunately the Liu family and the Fang family are enemies for generations, and this major case does not involve the Fang family. Qu Niang, it seems that we can only meet in the next life.

Just when the captain waved his hand and was about to escort all these people to jail, a scream came from behind.

"Who is it?" As soon as the centurion turned his head, he felt a pain in his neck and fell to the ground without a sound.

"Monster...monster!"

When the Jinyiwei saw the appearance of the person coming, they all widened their eyes, looked terrified, and ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.

As the Jinyiwei ran, the servants and maids of the Liu family also disappeared quickly.

"Qu...Qu Niang?"

When Liu Shize saw the person coming, he subconsciously stepped forward, but his expression was shocked.

Because the woman in front of him, although she looked exactly like Fang Qulan, she had furry ears and a long white tail that were not human.

"Liu Lang." Fang Qulan saw Liu Shize's face full of disbelief, and wanted to step forward, but stopped, and her expression was gloomy.

However, when Liu Shize heard the familiar Liu Lang, he stepped forward and hugged Fang Qulan in his arms.

"Qu Niang...why are you here? It's too dangerous."

"Aren't you... curious?"

"As long as you are a real Qu Niang, so what if you are a demon?"

"But I'm not a real Qu Niang."

Liu Shize was stunned.

He looked down at the woman in his arms and saw Fang Qulan crying, "Miss Fang died a year ago."

It turned out that when Liu Qifeng learned that his son and Fang Qulan were in love, he went directly to Fang's house to cause trouble. When Fang Anwen learned about this, he beat Fang Qulan violently.

Fang Qulan was already weak, but after this beating, she was on the verge of death and was close to death.

Before he died, a cloud fox arrived. It was a cloud fox that Fang Qulan rescued when she was a child.

This time she came here because she sensed that her benefactor was dying, and wanted to come over for treatment, but she didn't expect that Fang Qulan was on the verge of death, with no medicine or stone to cure her, and she was in a state of recovery.

Knowing Yunhu's purpose, Fang Qulan said weakly, "Can you transform into me? If Liu Lang knew that I died, he would be devastated. It's time for him to prepare for the exam, so he can't be distracted. You will tell him when he is in high school." He can tell the truth.”

Yunhu is still a little demon, and the demon clan can only begin to transform into the realm of life and death, but demons have their own ways.

Yunhu told Fang Qulan that if she casts the love-stealing spell, she can possess him, but Fang Qulan will definitely die.

"Take good care of Liu Lang." Fang Qulan looked at Yunhu with earnest eyes.

After that, Yunhu cast a love-stealing spell and possessed Fang Qulan, and started living as Fang Qulan from then on.

She originally thought that as long as she took good care of Liu Shize and waited for him to go to high school, she could leave.

But she didn't want to stay in contact with him for a long time, and she was also attracted to Liu Shize.

She didn't know whether it was due to the love-stealing curse or her own feelings, but she eventually fell in love with Liu Shize.

After hearing this, Liu Shize's eyes were stunned, and he looked stunned, obviously unable to accept it.

Seeing this, Yunhu pushed Liu Shize away gently, turned around and wanted to leave, but her expression changed. She quickly covered her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood in her palm.

Seeing this, Yunhu was about to leave in a hurry, but before he left Liu's house, he fell to the ground in pain and curled up.

"Qu Niang...what's wrong with you?"

At this moment, although Liu Shize was in a complicated mood, he couldn't help but rush forward eagerly when he saw Yunhu falling to the ground.

However, before he got closer, he saw Fang Qulan's body gradually transforming into the shape of a white fox with cloud patterns on her body.

The Yunhu didn't answer, but turned his head with difficulty and glanced at Liu Shize with nostalgia, with tears in his eyes. After a few breaths, he lowered his head and died.

Liu Shize stared blankly at the scene before him. For a long time, his body softened and he fell to the ground.

"Ze'er."

Liu Gaoshi behind him looked at it and shouted worriedly.

Liu Qifeng next to him pulled Liu Gaoshi and shook his head gently.

Liu Shize didn't seem to hear him. He crawled to Yunhu's side, picked him up, and checked his breathing, but there was no breathing.

Hot tears flowed down suddenly and couldn't be stopped.

At this moment, Liu Shize seemed to have lost the ability to speak. He could only roar like a beast. In the end, his body twitched and he retched, as if he was about to vomit out his soul.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Shize picked up Yunhu and stumbled away from Liu's house.

"Ze'er."

"Let him go." Liu Qifeng took a deep breath, "Children will eventually grow up."

Although he said this, his eyes were also filled with worry and solemnity, not only for his son, but also for the future fate of the Liu family.

Zhou Xuan watched all this secretly, and when he saw Liu Shize leaving, he followed him without haste.

By Jingxian Lake, Liu Shize held Yunhu in his arms and stared blankly at Jingxian Lake in front of him.

This is the place where the two first met, and it has also been the place where they have met privately over the past few years. The laughter and laughter of the past seem to be vivid in their minds.

When Liu Shize came back to his senses, his body was already submerged in the water. He looked up at the world, and there was no trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

Zhou Xuan stood in the pavilion in the lake and saw Liu Shize throwing himself into the lake without hesitation, without any thought of helping him.

He seemed to be a true bystander, not controlled by emotions, quietly looking at Jingxian Lake at night.

The demon clan's love-stealing curse is a vicious method of seizing one's body.

After this method is used, it can possess human beings and completely control their bodies within three years.

The only restriction is that you cannot cast spells for three years. As long as you cast a spell, you will definitely die in a short time.

This method is an evil method used by demons to travel around the world. As long as the monks are prepared, they will not let the love-stealing spell succeed.

Only mortals will often fall victim to this trick.

But the love-stealing curse is not inherently sinful, it just depends on the nature of the person who casts the spell.

Just when Zhou Xuan was in a state of confusion, within about a moment of burning incense, a faint fluorescent light appeared in a certain place. That was the place where Liu Shize threw himself into the lake while holding Yunhu in his arms.

The fluorescent light became brighter and brighter, and soon two creatures emerged from the lake. A closer look revealed that they were two extremely beautiful butterflies.

Two butterflies, one in front and one behind, were flying gracefully, as if chasing each other.

Soon, the two butterflies flew towards the pavilion in the lake.

Zhou Xuan stretched out his hand.

As if being summoned, two butterflies landed gently in his hands, and then they all looked up at Zhou Xuan, as if communicating with Zhou Xuan.

"I will accept this matter."

After receiving Zhou Xuan's consent, the two butterflies in his hands bloomed with brilliance.

But in a moment, the two butterflies disappeared without a trace, but there was something in the palm of their hands.

This object is in the shape of a teardrop, with two butterflies intertwined inside it, like a hug. There is no vision, but just holding it, there is a feeling of happiness and sadness infecting the surroundings.

Tiancai·Mandarin ducks and butterflies cry.

After putting it away in the jade box, Zhou Xuan hurried back to the Liu family in a flash.

At this time, the Liu family was once again surrounded by Jin Yiwei. These Jin Yiwei all came to the Liu family again with frightened expressions and reluctance.

They didn't want to come over at all, but they couldn't resist.

The new Baihu gritted his teeth and was about to order people in, but suddenly he heard the subordinate next to him say in surprise, "Sir, the monks are here, and the monks are here to get rid of the demons."

Baihu looked up and saw a young monk stopped at the door of Liu's house. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Shangxiu, are you here to get rid of demons?"

"Get lost." Zhou Xuan spat out one word coldly.

These Jin Yiwei are just mortals, and there is no benefit in killing them. The blood sacrifice in Broken Soul Valley is because it is related to heavenly materials.

If it was not necessary, he would naturally not kill people for fun after being full. He was not a person who killed indiscriminately.

"Yes, yes..." Baihu was not angry at all when he heard this. He was just ecstatic. If a monk came, he could report it to his superiors. Thinking, he waved his hand and said, "Get out of here! Don't disturb the monk to subdue the demons." ”

All the royal guards breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Zhou Xuan repeatedly. When they saw him entering Liu's house, they all wished that their parents would have extra legs and escape from here.

After Zhou Xuan entered the Liu family, he quickly came to the Liu family hall. At this time, there were only a few people in the Liu family.

In addition to Liu Qifeng and Liu Gao, there are also several loyal slaves and maids.

"Your Excellency?"

Liu Qifeng has been dealing with people all year round. As soon as Zhou Xuan appeared, he knew that the boy in front of him was very human. Thinking of his son having an affair with a demon, he felt a thump in his heart.

"I am Zhou Xuan, a true disciple of the Wanjian Sect. I have been entrusted by your son Liu Shize to take you to the Wanjian Sect."

This is the request of Liu Shize's spiritual light. Either you don't accept it. Since you accept it, you have to do it. It's just a casual thing anyway.

"Wanjian Sect."

Although he was under the control of the Shenyin Sect and was still a mortal, Liu Qifeng also knew the legends of the five sects in Hengshan, but he did not expect that the young man in front of him was a true disciple of one of the five sects.

Shocked, he saluted quickly.

"This superior cultivator..." Liu Gao, unlike her husband, has a mother-son connection. She seemed to feel something from Zhou Xuan's arrival, "You were entrusted by my son, so... where is my son Liu Shize?"

"Dead." Zhou Xuan didn't hide anything. Anyway, he would know sooner or later. "Liu Shize threw himself into the river with a fox in his arms, turned into a butterfly, and became the essence of heaven and earth, which I obtained."

He didn't say the rest. He believed that it didn't take much for the two people in front of him to understand.

Dead?

Mrs. Liu Gao's heart felt like a knife piercing her heart, her eyesight turned black, her breath was stuck in her chest, she couldn't breathe, and she was about to faint.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuan took out a pill from the storage ring and asked the other party to take it.

Liu Qifeng's standing body almost fell to the ground. He was such a son, and he died? Or commit suicide.

Ze'er, why are you so confused!

According to what the fox demon said, didn't the young lady of the Fang family die a year ago? Why!

For a moment, Liu Qifeng felt disheartened, and his thick black hair turned half white in the blink of an eye.

But when he saw that his wife almost fainted, fortunately Zhou Xuan came to her rescue. When he saw his maid helping her up, he suppressed his grief and saluted repeatedly, "Thank you Zhou Zhenzhuan for your help."

As soon as Mrs. Liu Gao opened her eyes, her eyes were in a trance, and Tao Hao cried, "My son!"
