Chapter 6: Fuyou Temple Carved Bone Pagoda



A hint of admiration flashed across Bei Mingxuan's eyes, so fast that no one noticed.

He did intend to let Gu Changan know something, according to the information obtained by his secret guards.

Bei Mingxuan was certain that for all these years, Gu Changan had been deliberately pretending to be timid and hiding his true strength in the Gu family.

Moreover, her father Gu Qingfeng was originally an extremely outstanding person. Even though he had been insignificant in the general's mansion for so many years, he would not allow his only bloodline to be bullied.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.

Since we've hit it off, naturally we have to put some thought into it.

Especially since she is Gu Qingfeng's daughter, Bei Mingxuan admires Gu Qingfeng from the bottom of her heart.

It can even be said that he and Gu Qingfeng are friends of gentlemen, friends of teacher and student, and friends of life and death.

But I didn't expect that in the eyes of the world, Gu Changan had another appearance under his skin.

A high nose bridge, a cherry-like mouth, and a delicate chin.

Especially her eyes, which were extremely clear, like the bright moon washed by rain, clean and clear with a hint of coolness.

It seems that there is a kind of vicissitudes that are difficult to understand. This vicissitudes do not bring a sense of fatigue, but rather an insight after thousands of sails have passed.

Bei Mingxuan smiled. He did not answer Chang'an's question, but directly said what he wanted to say, "I thought you knew the origin of this domino.

Now it seems that you only know one side of the story. The word "Ya" is engraved on the domino, and it is a relic of your mother, Nangong Qiuya.

Gu Changan puffed up his lips but said nothing, but she retorted in her heart, "Nonsense, of course it's my mother's legacy, even a beast knows it."

Bei Mingxuan was surprised to hear what she said, but he was surprised that he could hear what was in her heart for some reason.

He put aside the puzzled question for the moment, frowned, and said faintly, "So, you know! You are a beast."

Gu Changan blurted out without thinking, "You are worse than an animal!"

“…”

Bei Mingxuan curled the corners of her lips and noticed a slight embarrassment on Gu Changan's face. She knew that she didn't mean it and was probably just doing it casually.

Therefore, instead of making a fuss, he indulged Gu Changan's audacity and insolence. "In Lingshan, there is a Mayfly Temple. In the temple there is a bone-carving tower, which is covered with bone tablets.

The bonnets on the bone tower are made of bones from dead people.

Some dead people voluntarily give up reincarnation, inject their souls into their bones, and hang them on the bone tower to protect the people they care about in this life.

The person in charge of everything is the abbot of the Mayfly Temple, Master Mayfly, also known as the Soul Crossing Master.

"Does 'duling' mean to save the soul?" Chang'an didn't know that Master Mayfly had another title.

"I don't know." Bei Mingxuan spoke the truth. "Other people's dominoes are hung on the carved bone tower in the temple, but you carry yours with you? This makes me curious."

Gu Chang'an's eyes were slightly dull as he looked at the dominoes in Bei Mingxuan's hand, a trace of sadness rising in his heart. Chang'an knew the origin of the dominoes, as they were left to him by his mother.

"What are you thinking about?" Bei Mingxuan suddenly walked to Gu Changan's side, "Tell me."

The sudden voice made Gu Changan subconsciously look up, and their eyes met. "Of course, you're thinking about how to leave."

Bei Mingxuan raised his lips with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and deliberately said, "You want to leave after knowing my secret? Gu Changan, you are too naive."

"Really?" Gu Changan met Bei Mingxuan's eyes. At that moment, she was sure that this person did not want to kill her. "Don't you know my secret too?"

"Haha!" Bei Mingxuan laughed, "That's right, now that we know each other's secrets, what should we do?"

Gu Changan said with reluctance and grievance, "The Ninth Prince's secret is not something Changan wants to know, but the Ninth Prince deliberately revealed it to Changan."

"If you're willing to guess, this prince is also willing to give you the answer." Bei Mingxuan said, walking back to Lu Shui Pavilion. "It's called taking the bait."

“…” Gu Changan was not happy. Is this okay?

When Bei Mingxuan sat down, he flicked his hand and the dominoes flew out of his hand and into Gu Changan's hand. "Let's go!"

Gu Changan, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, turned around and left quickly. No matter what, at least leaving was the safest way.

Bei Mingxuan looked at the departing figure under the moonlight, then withdrew his gaze and said to the empty yard, "Fu Lin, Fu Cheng."

"Master." Two twin brothers dressed exactly the same appeared in front of Bei Mingxuan.

Fu Lin looked confused, "I am too stupid to understand where Miss Chang'an's moves came from."

Fu Cheng continued, "It's disorganized and chaotic. It's probably a direct reaction to what I felt."

"It doesn't matter anymore." Bei Mingxuan closed his eyes. He already had the answer in his heart. Gu Changan's internal energy was indeed profound, even comparable to his own. It was just that she herself didn't know how to use it, and she had no fixed moves. All her advances and retreats relied on her own agility.

"Is this person really the daughter of the second branch of the Gu family, Gu Chang'an?" Fu Lin was puzzled. "I really can't believe it."

"Brother, after all, we've only seen Miss Chang'an from afar," Fu Cheng said. "We haven't gotten to know her well. Most of what we've heard about Miss Chang'an is from other people."

Fu Lin said, "Yes, Miss Chang'an's parents are both excellent people. Now that I think about it, it's really just the world's misunderstanding of Miss Chang'an. However... it should be true that Miss Chang'an is attracted to the Fourth Prince, Bei Mingye."

Bei Mingxuan closed his eyes slightly and listened silently to what the Fu brothers said.

He had countless questions in his mind. As a woman, what was Gu Changan's real purpose in hiding herself?

Suddenly, Bei Mingxuan opened his eyes, a look of sudden enlightenment in his eyes, "So that's why! This girl has really been burdened with such a bad reputation for so many years. I just don't know if it was Gu Changan's own idea or her father Gu Qingfeng's.

"The General's Mansion has been independent for so many years, and now all the princes have reached marriageable age. Of General Gu's three granddaughters, only Gu Chang'an is a notorious loser... If it were you, who would be willing to marry a woman with such a bad reputation and ugly appearance?"

The two people standing beside Bei Mingxuan glanced at their master in surprise, "But the Fourth Prince doesn't seem to care about Miss Chang'an's appearance, and everyone knows that the useless young lady from the General's Mansion is obsessed with the Fourth Prince."

Bei Mingxuan thought of Bei Mingye's plan tonight and Gu Changan's clever avoidance. He curled his lips in a very good mood and said no more.
