Chapter 10 The tenth chapter where is Qing

Sun Xuepu said: "What I know is only so much." Chu Liuxiang's eyes moved, and suddenly said: "You said you once drew four portraits of her?" Sun Xuepu said: "That's right, four." Chu Liuxiang said: "Do you know why four portraits of her are drawn?" Sun Xuepu said: "At that time, I also wondered that ordinary people only draw one portrait, why did she draw four? When I drew the third portrait for her, I finally couldn't help but ask." Chu Liuxiang asked anxiously, "Did she ever tell you?" Sun Xuepu sighed: "She told me... She said that she would give these four portraits to four men, all of whom had had... a relationship with her, but at this moment, she wants to have a relationship with them Cut off contact."

Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly and said: "She asked a famous artist like you to do the portrait, in order to keep her beauty on paper as much as possible, and then give it to those four men, so that even though she left them, they would never forget her again." , she wants them to suffer for her every time they look at this beautiful portrait." Shen Shangu gritted her teeth and said: "What a vicious woman, she has achieved her goal. Every time my senior brother sees her portrait, it feels like being cut by a knife." Chu Liuxiang said: "The question now is, why did she cut off contact with them?"

Aunt Shen Shan said: "When a woman does not hesitate to cut off contact with four men who love her, she usually has only one reason." Chu Liuxiang said, "What's the reason?" Aunt Shen Shan said: "That means she is going to marry another man, a man who is much better than the four of them." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "That's right, only women can understand women's thoughts." Aunt Shen Shan said: "The man she marries either has great power, or has very high martial arts, or has very high martial arts, or has amazing wealth."

She looked at Chu Liuxiang and suddenly smiled, and continued: "Of course it may be because that man can make women's hearts just like you." Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Is the girl tempted now?" Shen Shangu blushed, but she still stared at him, and said with a coquettish smile: "Fortunately, there are not many men like you in the world, and she may not care about money, so the man she marries must be a famous man." Martial arts master! As long as we can find out who this man is, we can also find her." She actually said the word "we" resoundingly, but she didn't even know who Chu Liuxiang was.

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "Although the range is a bit small, there are still many celebrities and masters in the Jianghu. In my opinion, you might as well give this painting to me and wait at home. If I have news, I will definitely give it to you." Go tell the girl." With a charming smile in her eyes, Shen Shangu leaned over, stared at him and said, "Why should I leave it to you? Why should I trust you?" Chu Liuxiang rolled her eyes and whispered a few words in her ear. Shen Shangu's complexion suddenly changed, she took two steps back, and said in a trembling voice, "It's you...it's you...you evil ghost!" Turning around, she ran out frantically.

Chu Liuxiang sighed softly, rolled up the painting, and then stood in front of the table, staring at Sun Xuepu for a moment. His sharp gaze seemed to be felt even by Sun Xuepu, who had no eyes. He moved restlessly on the chair, and finally couldn't help it: "Why don't you leave?" Chu Liuxiang said, "I'm waiting." Sun Xuepu said: "What are you waiting for?" Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Wait until you tell me what you are still hiding for her." Sun Xuepu was stunned for a while, then sighed, "Is there nothing I can hide from you?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "I know that even though you hate her, you still don't want others to hurt her, but if you still refuse to tell everything, she is afraid that someone will really hurt her." Sun Xuepu was really moved and said: "Why?" Chu Liuxiang said: "The four people who received your four paintings are all dead now." Sun Xuepu lost his voice: "Dead? How could he die?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Although I still don't know the truth about their death, I do know that they all went out and were killed after receiving a letter sent by Qiu Lingsu."

Sun Xuepu said: "You...you mean that Qiu Lingsu killed them?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Since Qiu Lingsu wants them to love her for the rest of her life, she will never kill them again. She wrote to them, maybe because she has some difficulties and wants them to rush to help." Sun Xuepu sighed: "That's right, when a woman is in trouble, the first thing she thinks of is naturally the people who treat her best, and only these people will serve her loyally and die." Chu Liuxiang said: "And now these four people are dead, the person who killed them killed several others one after another, just because he didn't want me to know their relationship with her, and didn't want me to get involved in this secret. Here, it can be seen that her difficulties must not be resolved, and she may be in danger at this moment."

Sun Xuepu was moved and said: "Since this matter is so dangerous, why do you have to intervene? Do you want to save her?" Chu Liuxiang sighed, "If I don't know where she is, how can I save her?" Sun Xuepu was silent for a while, then slowly said: "You just forgot to ask me something." Chu Liuxiang said: "What's the matter?" Sun Xuepu said: "You forgot to ask me where I drew her portrait." Chu Liuxiang lost her voice and said, "That's right, this must also be related." Sun Xuepu said: "Five miles out of the city, there is a Wuyi nunnery, where I painted her portrait. The abbot of the nunnery, Master Suxin, is her best friend, and I must know her whereabouts."

Chu Liuxiang said: "What else?" Sun Xuepu stopped talking. Chu Liuxiang put away the portrait, turned around and came out, then suddenly turned around and said, "Although the eyes are blind, the heart is not blind. If the heart is the eye, can't you paint...Brother Sun, think about it carefully, take care of it." Sun Xuepu was stunned, his eyebrows moved, and he said loudly: "Thank you for your advice, may I ask your surname?" At this time, Chu Liuxiang had gone far. In the shadows outside the window, there was a person who said coldly: "His surname is Chu, and his name is Liu Xiang."

Chu Liuxiang rushed down the mountain, and saw a black-topped cart parked in front of the hillside. This kind of black-topped cart is the most common means of transportation in Jinan City. Waiting for someone?" The driver's round face was full of kindness, and he said with a smile, "I'm just waiting for you to come!" Chu Liuxiang said: "Do you know that there is a Wuyi Nunnery outside the city?" The driver smiled and said, "You've been looking for me, but you've found the right person. I sent my wife to burn incense the day before yesterday. You should always get in the car. You can't go wrong with the insurance." As the chariots and horses set off, Chu Liuxiang thought back and forth in the car, thinking about this matter again and again. Although this matter has a little idea, the key still depends on whether Qiu Lingsu can be found. He just knows that Ximen Qian, Zuo Youzheng, Lingjiuzi, and Zamuhe all went out for Qiu Lingsu. But why did Qiu Lingsu seek them?Are they really asking for their help?What difficulties would a woman like her have to ask for help? The carriage was not moving slowly, but the Wuyi Nunnery was really not close. Fortunately, Chu Liuxiang kept using his brains, but he didn't feel very anxious. Finally, the driver finally stopped the driveway: "Wuyi Temple is in the woods ahead, you should always get out of the car!" There is a peach grove in front, and there is a small temple beside the stream. It is almost dusk at this moment.There was a vague Sanskrit singing coming from the nunnery, presumably the nun was doing evening classes. Taolin small temple, the scenery is beautiful, this master Suxin is indeed a Yani, otherwise how could he become a close friend with a beauty like Qiu Lingsu. The door of the nunnery was open, and Chu Liuxiang walked in. The lights in the nunnery were not yet lit, and the sound of Sanskrit singing was endless. A nun in black clothes and white socks stood quietly in the shadow under the plane tree, as if She was mourning the misery in the world of mortals, but when she came to this kind of place, Chu Liuxiang's footsteps did not feel light. He tiptoed over and asked tentatively, "I wonder if Master Suxin is in the nunnery?" The black-clothed nun glanced at him, clasped her hands together and said: "The poor nun is Su Xin, I don't know where the benefactor came from? Why did he come?" Chu Liuxiang said: "Master has been avoiding the world of mortals for a long time, do you remember that there was a close friend Qiu Lingsu who was not in the past?" Master Suxin said: "If you remember, you don't remember. If you don't remember, you remember. Why should the benefactor ask? Why should the poor nun say?" Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "If you say it, you don't say it, if you don't say it, you say it. If the master insists on not saying it, isn't it a sign?" He can talk with Wuhua about Zen, so this Jifeng will naturally be able to fight. A smile appeared on the corner of Master Suxin's mouth and said: "The benefactor also knows Zen." Chu Liuxiang said: "Know a thing or two." Master Suxin sighed: "Since the benefactor is helping people, why should the poor nun be puzzled? Since the benefactor has come here, he must have heard from Sun Xuepu that Qiu Lingsu invited people to paint for the purpose of saying goodbye." Chu Liuxiang said: "What about the future?" Master Suxin said: "Lingsu has long had roots of wisdom. After cutting off her love thread, she is more determined to say goodbye to the world of mortals. Twenty years ago, she was ordained by a poor nun to become a monk." Chu Liuxiang lost her voice: "Have you become a monk?...Now..." Master Suxin smiled and said: "With her roots of wisdom and enlightenment, naturally she won't suffer in the world of mortals for a long time." Chu Liuxiang said in amazement: "She...is she already dead?" Master Su Xin put his palms together and said, "Come and go freely, without worries... Amitabha, so good!" This result was really beyond Chu Liuxiang's expectation, he really never thought that Qiu Lingsu was not married but became a monk, let alone that she was dead. He was stunned there, as if he couldn't move. Master Su Xin smiled and said, "Where did the donor come from, why not go where he went?" Chu Liuxiang turned around in a daze, walked out the door, and murmured: "Qiu Lingsu is dead, who wrote those letters? Could it be that someone else forged her name? Could it be that Zuo Youzheng had nothing to do with her when she went out?" ?” Until now, there was no definite evidence to prove that the letter received by Zuo Youzheng and others was written by Qiu Lingsu. All he can prove now is that Zuo Youzheng, Ximenqian, Lingjiuzi, and Jamuhe were all fascinated by Qiu Lingsu. Chu Liuxiang murmured with a wry smile: "But it doesn't mean that they all died for her. Now, since Qiu Lingsu died a long time ago, I have to start all over again." At this time, he had already walked out of the peach grove, and after walking a few more steps, he suddenly stopped and said, "No! Something is wrong with this matter." He thought about every detail of the matter again, clapped his hands and said: "Master Suxin has never left the house, so how do you know that I went to see Sun Xuepu? How did you know that he told me that 'Lingsu hired people to paint for Farewell'?" He turned around and entered the nunnery again, there was no one under the plane tree. The Sanskrit singing was still going on, Chu Liuxiang rushed in, and the nuns who were chanting sutras in the evening class were all startled, Chu Liuxiang glanced over their faces one by one, but couldn't find the nun in black clothes and white socks just now, and said loudly : "Where is Master Suxin?" An elderly nun said anxiously: "There is no one in the nunnery called Su Xin." Chu Liuxiang said: "Master Suxin is obviously the host of Wuyi Nunnery." The old nun said: "The small nunnery is the Peach Blossom Nunnery. From then on, Wuyi Nunnery goes around the city to the west, and there are still several miles." This is not Wuyi Nunnery? Chu Liuxiang couldn't help being stunned again, and said in a low voice: "The master in black clothes and white socks standing under the tree just now, isn't he from your nunnery?" The old nun looked at him like he was looking at a lunatic, and slowly said: "Everyone in the small nunnery is here for evening classes, where is anyone under the plane tree just now?" Chu Liuxiang hurried to the west, and sighed secretly: "Why am I so confused, how can the big carts in the city wait outside the slums to pick up passengers? How can there be anyone who can afford a car in the slums? He is obviously waiting for me there , waiting for me to be fooled, he did this, naturally to make me think that Qiu Lingsu is dead, and seduce me astray." It was dusk at this time, here was the suburbs, Chu Liuxiang performed lightness kung fu, and not long after, he saw another temple built at the foot of the mountain. In the desolate monastery, a solitary lamp like a will-o'-the-wisp is shining, and the wind blows the fallen leaves in the courtyard rustling, as if there is a ghost walking alone on it. When the evening wind blew, Chu Liuxiang felt a chill on his back, and it seemed as if a ghost was blowing on the back of his neck, and he kept moving towards the light. Sitting next to the solitary lamp was a nun in black, dazed in a daze. Her monk's robe was riddled with holes, her complexion was sallow, and she looked demented, as if she had been fascinated by ghosts. Chu Liuxiang sighed secretly: "Could it be that this Wuyi Nunnery has fallen to this point? If the 'carriage man' really brought me here, I'm afraid I will find it hard to believe it." He coughed dryly and said, "Is this Wuyi nunnery?" The nun glanced blankly, and said: "Wuyi Nunnery, of course it is Wuyi Nunnery, who dares to say that this is not Wuyi Nunnery." Chu Liuxiang couldn't see that she was lying, and asked again: "I wonder if Master Suxin is here?" The nun thought for a while, then suddenly giggled, and said: "Yes, of course, who dares to say that she is not here." Chu Liuxiang couldn't help shivering in this mysterious desolate nunnery, the mysterious idiot, and the strange laughter, and said: "I wonder if the master can lead me to see Master Suxin?" The girl suddenly stood up and said, "Follow me." She held the oil lamp in her hand, and the light was like a will-o'-the-wisp, illuminating the faded veils in the desolate nunnery, the Buddha statues with peeling gold paint, as well as fallen leaves, weeds, dust, and cobwebs. She walked with one foot high and one foot low, passing through the desolate courtyard, there were no shadows of other people in the bird-clothed nunnery, if there were, it was ghosts watching people in the dark. There are no lights in the backyard, in the deep twilight, under the bleak plane trees, there is a small meditation hall, the broken windows are blown by the strong wind, making a frightening sound. The nun suddenly turned her head and smiled, "You wait." Chu Liuxiang looked at the dense spider webs on the door, and couldn't help asking: "Is Master Suxin sitting in the gate?" The nun said with a smirk: "Sit off, of course she is sitting on the gate, who dares to say that she is not sitting on the gate." With a silly smile, she pushed aside the cobwebs on the door and walked in. Chu Liuxiang had no choice but to wait outside the door, the yard was even darker, there seemed to be owls singing at night on the tree, like a ghost crying, he stood under the tree, feeling a little hairy in his heart. After a while, I heard the nun say in the meditation hall: "Master, someone has come to see you, would you like to see him?" After another half hour, the nun came out again holding a lamp, and said with a smile: "My master nodded, you go in!" Chu Liuxiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you." In any case, he was finally able to meet Master Suxin. He strode in, and the flickering lights shone in from outside the door. Chu Liuxiang said: "Master Suxin...Master." In the gloomy and dark room, no one responded. Chu Liuxiang walked in two more steps, when the wind blew, suddenly a shadow floated over, looked at it with the light like a will-o'-the-wisp, how could this be a person? It was the skeleton of a dead man. This set of dead bones was hanging on the beam, drifting with the wind, and the stench of rotting corpses made people sick, and Chu Liuxiang was stunned. The nun's crazy laughter came in from outside the door, she clapped her hands and said with a smile: "You saw her... You saw her, why didn't you talk?" The dead bones on the beam turned out to be the Master Su Xin whom Chu Liuxiang wanted to find with all his heart. This crazy nun didn't bury her body, but made a crazy and vicious joke with Chu Liuxiang, she was actually a madman full of malice. The lights went out, and the ghostly aura became heavier. Chu Liuxiang's palms couldn't help getting a little wet, and she stepped back towards the door step by step. Suddenly, the dry bones on the beam fell towards Chu Liuxiang. Chu Liuxiang was horrified, and wanted to dodge, but also wanted to reach out to catch it. At this moment, a sword pierced through the dead bones like lightning, and pierced Chu Liuxiang's chest. This sword came very fast and very poisonous. Chu Liuxiang could hardly dodge, his chest and abdomen shrank back suddenly, and with a "chi", the tip of the sword had cut through his clothes on the front of his chest. Right here, some invisible black lights, accompanied by the sound of the wind, hit his throat, several vital points between his chest and abdomen, and a wide figure flew up from the beam, crashing into the roof, With bursts of shrill and mysterious laughter, he fled out like flying. Chu Liuxiang dodged the sword, already expecting that there must be a killer behind the opponent, and his figure had already taken advantage of the contraction of his chest and abdomen, and fell to the ground. The black light just barely brushed his body and flew past. I saw the black shadow walking away through the house, dressed in black, with the speed of a ghost, it was the one who killed "Tianqiangxing" Song Gang and escaped into Daming Lake with ninjutsu. By the time Chu Liuxiang turned around and ran out, and chased out through the house, the mysterious figure had long since disappeared, the sky was full of stars and moon, and the cool wind was blowing. Chu Liuxiang stood on the roof, her heavy clothes already drenched in cold sweat. He was stunned for a while, then turned around and jumped down, the nun was still standing in the yard in a daze, motionless, even her laughter had stopped. Chu Liuxiang rushed in front of her, and said sharply, "Who is that? Did you collude with him?" In the night, I saw a mysterious smile appearing on the nun's face again, she squinted her eyes at Chu Liuxiang for a few times, and said with a giggle, "He...I..." The laughter stopped suddenly, her body twitched suddenly, she fell on her back, and then, some blood oozed out from between her throat and chest. It turned out that the hidden weapon that missed Chu Liuxiang just now came out through the door and hit her all over. Chu Liuxiang bent down, only to see bloodstains, which immediately turned into a strange pale green color when it flowed out, and blood also oozed from her eyes, nose and facial features. Chu Liuxiang said in horror: "What a poisonous hidden weapon, you...you...you go!"
