Chapter 22 The twenty-second chapter of the Four Heavenly Kings

The night was dark. There are only a few sparse stars in the night sky. Under the faint starlight, there seems to be a shadow of a person in the distance. Although she chased fast, this person was even faster. She came out through the window, and this person was already ten feet away. But she will never give up. She knows that she will never catch up with this person, but she must. She chased with all her strength. It was even darker in the distance, and even the shadows of people could not be seen. There was an ancient ancestral hall in the side alley, and a single lamp was still burning.

In this ancient city of Chang'an, such ancestral halls can be seen everywhere, dilapidated, desolate, and deserted. She stopped suddenly and shouted loudly: "Ye Kai, I know it's you, I know you haven't gone far, you must still hear me." There is no response in the darkness, only a few ancient cypresses that have not withered, sighing in the cold wind. "Whether you want to come out to see me or not, you should listen to what I have to say." She bit her lip, trying to hold back her tears: "I didn't do anything wrong to you, and if you don't want to see me again, I won't either. Blame you, but...but I can die."

She suddenly tore open the placket, revealing her bare chest.In the dark, her chest shone like satin, but the wind was as cold as a knife. Her body had begun to tremble unceasingly. "I know you may not believe me, I know... But this time, I will die for you." With trembling hands, she pulled out an eight-inch gold hairpin from under her head, and stabbed it in her heart with all her strength. She really wanted to die.For her, there is nothing in this world worth caring about. The family has undergone catastrophic changes, her brothers have been lost, and she has only one person left to rely on.

She had made up her mind to follow this man for the rest of her life.But now this person doesn't even want to see her again. The nobile pierced into the chest, and blood spattered out. At this moment, a figure suddenly flew over like an elf in the darkness and held her hand. With a sound of "ding", the golden hairpin landed on the ridge of the roof. Bright red blood flowed across the snow-like chest. She finally saw this person, this person who haunted her dreams and could never forget her life or death. She finally met Ye Kai. The night was gloomy, and the faint starlight shone on Ye Kai's face.

He looked just the same, with the same bright eyes and the same smile on his lips. But if you take a closer look, you will find that his eyes are bright because of tears. Although he was still smiling, his smile was full of desolation and sadness. "You don't have to do this," he sighed softly, and said softly, "Why did you hurt yourself?" Ding Linglin looked at him, looking at him bewilderedly, she seemed to be bewildered already. It's better not to see each other. ...Why did the heavens have to arrange for them to meet again this time?Why? Ye Kai was obviously trying to control himself: "I know you didn't apologize to me, and you didn't do anything wrong, it was me who was wrong."

"you……" Ye Kai didn't let her continue: "You don't have to say anything, I know everything." "You...you really know?" Ye Kai nodded and said sadly: "If I were you, I would definitely do the same. Guo Ding is a promising young man and a good person. Of course you must not watch him die for you." Ding Linglin burst into tears again: "But I..." "You are a very kind girl. You know that only by doing this can Guo Ding feel that he can still live." Ye Kai sighed: "If a person doesn't even want to live anymore, there will be absolutely no one in the world who can save him, not even Ge Bing."

He did know Guo Ding, and even more about her.Nothing in the world is more precious than this kind of sympathy and understanding. Like a wronged child, Ding Linglin suddenly threw herself into his arms and burst into tears. Ye Kai made her cry. Crying is also a form of venting.He hoped that the grievance and grief in her heart would flow out along with her tears. But what about himself? He must not cry, not even shed a few tears silently, he knew that between the two of them, at least one person must be strong. He must be strong, no matter how much grievance and grief, he must find a way to hide it in his heart, gritted his teeth and endured it.

He can bear it. The night is darker and the wind is colder. After an unknown amount of time, her bitter crying finally turned into low crying, and Ye Kai gently pushed her away, saying, "You should go back." Ding Linglin was stunned and said, "You want me to go back? Where are you going back?" Ye Kai said: "Go back to the place where you came out just now." Ding Linglin said: "Why?" Ye Kai said: "Others must have been waiting very anxiously." Gong Linglin suddenly became cold and stiff again: "You...you still want me to go back and marry Guo Ding?"

Ye Kai hardened his heart: "You must not just leave him like this. You should also know that if you leave like this, he will definitely not be able to live anymore." Ding Linglin also has to admit that the reason why Guo Ding still has the fighting spirit to survive is all because of her. Ye Kai's heart tightened: "If Guo Ding is really dead, not only will I never forgive you, you will never forgive yourself either." ——Then, even if the two of us can be together, we will suffer forever. He didn't say the following words, he knew that Ding Linglin would also understand.

Ding Linglin hung her head, and after a long time, she said desolately: "I'll go back, how about you?" "I can survive." Ye Kai wanted to force himself to smile, but couldn't: "You should know that I have always been a strong person." "We'll never see each other again." "Of course we will see you again." Ye Kai's heart hurts, this is the first time he lied to her, he can't help but say that... As long as the matter passes, of course we can see each other again. Ding Linglin suddenly raised her head and stared at him: "Okay, I promise you, I will go back, but you have to promise me one thing."

"you say." "If the matter is over, I still can't find you, so you must tell me, where are you?" Ye Kai avoided her gaze: "As long as you know the matter is over, you don't need to look for me, I will look for you." Ding Linglin said: "If I can solve everything well, if Guo Ding can live well, will you come to me?" Ye Kai nodded. "You're telling the truth, you really didn't lie to me?" "real." Ye Kai's heart is broken. He himself knew that what he said was not the truth, but Ding Linglin believed it completely. ——Why do people always lie to the person they trust the most? Because there is nothing he can do. ——Why are there so many helpless sorrows and pains in life? He doesn't know, and can't understand. He only knew that he had only one way to go, a lonely and long way. ——A real man, when necessary, will always sacrifice himself to help others. Ding Linglin finally made up her mind: "Okay, I'll leave now, I believe in you." "I... I will definitely find you in the future." Ding Linglin nodded, and turned around slowly, as if she didn't dare to look at him any more. She was afraid that she might change her mind. She turned around, leaving the starlight and life behind her back, clenched her fists tightly, exhausted all her strength, and finally said three words: "Let's go." Ye Kai left. He didn't say another word, he didn't dare to say any more.He also used all his strength to control himself. The cold wind was like a knife, he ran against the wind, encountered a dark place, then bent down, and began to vomit non-stop. Why do people always have no tears to shed and vomit instead when they are in the saddest and most painful time? Ding Linglin was also vomiting.She vomited non-stop, even vomited out the bitter bile. But she has made up her mind that since Ye Kai is not dead, she must never marry someone else. No matter under what circumstances, you can't marry someone else, even if you die, you can't. She was determined to go back and tell Guo Ding, to tell Guo Ding her feelings and her pain. If Guo Ding is really a man, he should understand, stand up and live on. She believed that Guo Ding was a man. She believes that all these things will be resolved satisfactorily, and by then, Ye Kai will definitely come to her. It won't be long before all the suffering will pass away soon.She is confident. In the lobby of Hongbin Inn, the lights were still brilliant, and there were bursts of melodious flute sounds. Now the man in black must have escaped, Guo Ding must still be alive, and everyone must still be waiting for her. She ran down the roof and into the hall. Her person was suddenly completely icy, as if she had suddenly fallen into a cold and dark abyss. It was like falling into hell suddenly. The hall has become even scarier than hell. There is an eternal flame burning in hell, and the flame is red. The hall is also red, but the reddest thing is not the pair of dragon and phoenix candles, nor the clothes on the people, but the blood. blood! Everyone she could see had fallen down in a pool of blood, and there was only one living person left in the hall: one was still playing the flute. His face was completely bloodless, his eyes were straight, and his body was stiff, but he kept blowing. Although he is still alive, he has lost his soul. No one could describe what it was like to hear the sound of the flute in Ding Linglin's ears; no one could even imagine. Guo Ding will never hear her explanation and difficulties, and has fallen in a pool of blood, together with the man in black, that kind old man, and... Ding Linglin didn't look any further, there was only a patch of bright red blood in front of her eyes, and she couldn't see anything else. Who on earth did this?What is it for? She couldn't think anymore, she fell down. When Ding Linglin opened her eyes again, the first thing she saw was a luxurious and exquisite box. treasure chest. The old man in blue was standing in front of the bed, staring at her, his eyes full of grief and pity. Ding Linglin struggled to sit up, but Ge Bing held down her shoulders, and she had no choice but to lie down again. She knew it was the old man who saved her, but... "Where's Guo Ding? Did you save him?" Ge Bing shook his head sadly, sighed, and said, "I'm late..." Ding Linglin suddenly yelled: "Are you late?...Why did you slip away?" Ge Bing said: "Because I have to rush to find someone." Ding Linglin was still shouting: "Why are you looking for someone? Why?" She couldn't control herself at all, she was close to collapse. After her excitement calmed down a bit, Ge Bing said in a deep voice, "Because I must find someone to stop this matter." Ding Linglin said: "You already knew this would happen?" Ge Bing sighed: "When I saw that bag of jewels and the names of those four people, I already knew it." Ding Linglin said: "You know who those four people are." Ge Bing nodded. "Who are they?" "The Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Cult." Ding Linglin fell down again, as if she was suddenly knocked down by a hammer, and she couldn't even move. Ge Bing said slowly: "I didn't say it at the time, because I was afraid that you would panic after hearing it, and I didn't want to affect your happy event." happy event!What kind of happy event is that? Ding Linglin wanted to jump up and scream again, but she didn't even have the strength to scream. Ge Bing said: "What's more, I also saw the four envoys in yellow clothes. I think that since the Money Gang has stepped in to take care of it, even the Four Heavenly Kings of the Devil's Sect have to be cautious." He sighed sadly, and said: "But I didn't expect that this matter would change halfway through." "Do you think that Ye Kai will definitely take care of it in secret?" Ge Bing can only admit it. "So you didn't expect Ye Kai to leave, and you also didn't expect me to leave." Ding Linglin's voice was weak. Her whole body seemed empty. Ge Bing sighed: "I should have thought that he might leave, because he didn't see that jade tablet, nor did he see that bag of jewels." Ding Linglin couldn't help asking: "They sent that bag of jewels, does it also have a special meaning?" "Have!" "What means?" Ge Bing said word by word: "They sent that bag of jewels to buy their lives." Ding Linglin said in amazement: "Did you pay for your life?" Ge Bing said: "The four heavenly kings in the Demon Cult rarely kill themselves." Ding Linglin said: "Why?" Ge Bing said: "Because they believe in reincarnation in hell, they never want to owe debts to the next life. So every time they come out to kill someone, they will pay a price first, buying someone's life." Ding Linglin suddenly asked again: "How do you know I'm gone? Ye Kai is gone too?" "I was told." "who?" "The piper." Thinking of the bleak sound of the flute, Ding Linglin couldn't help shivering: "He saw this with his own eyes?" Ge Bing sighed, and said: "He has been watching from the beginning to the end, so if he hadn't met me, he would have turned into a crazy cripple for the rest of his life." Anyone who sees such a thing will be terrified. Ding Linglin asked again: "He also saw the true colors of the four heavenly kings?" "No." "why?" "Because when the four heavenly kings kill people for revenge, they always wear the mask of a demon god." "Revenge? Who are they revenge for?" "Jade flute." Ge Bing said: "Yu Xiao died under Guo Ding's hands." "Is Yu Xiao one of the Four Heavenly Kings?" "He is the king of lust, Panchabana." Ding Linglin clenched her hands tightly, her body was still trembling: "Guo Ding killed Yuxiao for me." "I know." "If I don't chase him out, Ye Kai won't leave." "..." Ding Linglin was crying again: "If Ye Kai hadn't left, perhaps this incident would not have happened." Ge Bing shook his head, and said, "You don't need to blame yourself, all this is in their plan." Ding Linglin didn't understand. Ge Bing said: "The man in black is not Nangong Lang, I recognize Nangong Lang." Ding Linglin was taken aback again: "Is he not Nangong Lang?" Ge Bing said: "He is also a member of the Demon Cult." Ding Linglin said: "He suddenly appeared, just to force Ye Kai to take action?" Ge Bing sighed: "They have already calculated that Ye Kai will definitely rescue Guo Ding, and they also calculated that as soon as Ye Kai shows up, you will definitely chase him out." ——Of course they were sure that as soon as Ding Linglin chased him out, Ye Kai would definitely leave. Before the four heavenly kings in the Devil's Cult acted, they must have had a very perfect and thorough plan. So as long as they make a move, they seldom fail. Ding Linglin said bitterly: "From this point of view, the person who deliberately exposed the conspiracy of the man in black and deliberately said that he is Nangonglang is probably one of the four heavenly kings." "Very likely." Ge Bing suddenly said again: "Can you hear his voice?" Ding Linglin couldn't hear it. "I just think that the man's voice is harsher than a sharp needle." "Can you tell whether he is a man or a woman?" "It's a man." "The voice of a person comes from a belt-like organ in the throat." Ge Bing said slowly: "When a man grows up, this belt will gradually become thicker, so the voice of a man is always better than that of a woman. Lower and hoarse." Ding Linglin had never heard of these things, but she believed every word. Because she knew that Ge Bing was an unparalleled miracle doctor in the world, and of course he knew more about the structure of the human body than anyone else. She has also heard that there is a kind of kung fu in the Demon Cult that can shrink the band in a person's throat and change his voice. Ge Bing said: "So a normal man will never speak too sharply, unless..." Ding Linglin hurriedly said, "Unless he said it with a fake voice." Ge Bing nodded, and said, "Think about it again, why does he use a false voice when he speaks?" Ding Linglin said: "Because he was afraid that I would recognize his voice." Ge Bing said, "Why?" Ding Linglin said: "Because I must have seen him and heard his voice." Ge Bing said: "Who are the people who went to Hexi that day? How many of them have you met?" Ding Linglin didn't know: "I don't have a chance to see it at all." Gritting her teeth, she said: "Those who had the chance to see it have all been killed and silenced." Ge Bing couldn't help clenching his fists. The Demon Cult's plan of action is not only careful, but also vicious. "But they still left a clue." Ge Bing said thoughtfully. "What clue?" Ge Bing said: "The murderer who presided over this operation must have been in that wedding hall at that time." Ding Linglin said: "It must be there." Ge Bing said: "The people who were in the wedding hall at that time must be the murderer who is still alive now, and the murderer is most likely the Four Heavenly Kings." Ding Linglin's eyes sparkled: "So as long as we can find out who was in the wedding hall at that time, and who are still alive now, we will know who the Four Heavenly Kings are." Ge Bing nodded, his eyes didn't shine.Because he knows that although this matter is easy to say, it is not easy to do it. "It's a pity that we don't know who was in that wedding hall at that time, let alone who is still alive." Ding Linglin said: "But we can at least find out who gave gifts first? Who died?" Ge Bing's eyes also lit up. Ding Linglin said: "Everyone who comes to give a gift, we have recorded it in the gift book." Ge Bing immediately asked: "What about the ceremony book?" Ding Linglin said: "It must be still in the account room of Hongbin Inn." Ge Bing said: "It's not yet dawn, those dead bodies must still be in the wedding hall." Ding Linglin said: "What is this place?" Ge Bing said: "It's not far from Hongbin." Ding Linglin jumped up and said, "Then what are we waiting for?" Ge Bing looked at her with worry in his eyes.She has been stimulated too much, and now if she goes back to that wedding hall and sees those blood and corpses again, she may even go crazy.He wanted to persuade her to stay, but before he could speak, Ding Linglin had already rushed out. This girl was far stronger than he imagined. There was no one in the auditorium—not even dead people.Ge Bing's worry was completely unnecessary. When they arrived at the Hongbin Inn, they immediately found that all the corpses had been removed.The accounting room was also empty, there was no one there, let alone a gift book, and all the gifts had been emptied. Ding Linglin was stunned.It's still very late at night, she hasn't left here for a long time, and the actions of the Demon Cult are frighteningly fast. Ge Bing suddenly asked: "The bag of jewels sent by the four heavenly kings, is it also in this account room?" Ding Linglin nodded. Ge Bing said: "Then this matter must not have been done by someone from the Demon Cult." Ding Linglin said: "Why?" Ge Bing said: "Because that bag of jewels was originally used by them to buy their lives, and now that their lives have been bought, they will not take back those jewels." Ding Linglin said: "So they didn't move the body away." Ge Bing said: "Absolutely not?" Ding Linglin said: "Who are they? Besides them, who else has such quick hands and feet?" Empty those bodies and presents.Not an easy task.It is completely useless for others to ask for those corpses. Ding Linglin really couldn't figure it out, and Ge Bing couldn't figure it out either. The wind blew in from the window and hit her body, she suddenly shivered shrewdly.When the wind blew in, another flute sound came in with the wind. The sound of the flute was bleak and sad, and Ding Linglin immediately thought of the pale face of the flute player.She couldn't help asking, "did you take him away just now?" Ge Bing shook his head. "Why is he still here?" "What did he see again?" Ge Bing and Ding Linglin had come out of the window at the same time, they both knew that there was only one person who could answer this question. They must find the piper.
