Dust-free

Luo Jin was about to say something when Xiaolian suddenly said, "I seem to have some impression."

Luo Jin: "What?"

"Hu Zhuang, I remember, I used to live in Hu Zhuang!" Xiaolian was excited, "Sister, let's go and take a look, maybe that's Xiaolian's home?"

Luo Jin felt a little uncomfortable, "There are many manors called Hu Zhuang, this may not be your home, right?"

All the people in this manor are dead. If this is really Xiaolian's home, how disappointed she would be!

But now she has another reason to go to Hu Zhuang, whether it is here or not, she has to take a look. Even if it is bad news, it is better than no news.

Escaping will never solve the problem.

The three of them got on the carriage, and the driver headed towards Hu Zhuang.

When it was getting dark, the carriage stopped at Huzhuang. The driver was a little timid, "There is a stone tablet here. A few people... Let's not go in, right?"

Luo Jin got off the car and saw that there was indeed a large stone tablet at the entrance of the village. It was signed by the local government. It seemed to be officially erected. The stone tablet recorded the plague more than ten years ago, saying that more than a hundred people here were not spared. It warned the merchants not to enter to avoid being contaminated by unclean things.

"Then you wait here." Luo Jin said, but she didn't hesitate to say these and walked directly into the village.

Shui Yingchen also followed into the village, but Xiaolian looked around, and she didn't catch up until Luo Jin walked away.

"Sister, I know this place. This is really my home!" Xiaolian's expression gradually became sad. "My parents died of the plague, right?"

Luo Jin could not deny it and could only pat her on the back. "My condolences."

Xiaolian walked along the road at the entrance of the village, faster and faster. She suddenly stopped and stopped in front of a house.

"Here... my home is here, sister!"

Luo Jin raised her head. It was dark. She turned on the lantern and saw the words "Li's House" written on the door.

It was the family surnamed Li that Luo Xin's father mentioned.

It turned out that Xiaolian was the descendant of the family surnamed Li.

Unfortunately, the whole family had died of the plague, and no one could say anything.

No one had been in this house for more than ten years. It seemed like a haunted house at night. Luo Jin walked in with a lantern, feeling a little uneasy. She looked back at Shui Yingchen and saw that he was calm and showed no fear. She felt a little relieved.

Xiaolian was wandering around the house. She also had a small lantern. She didn't mind that the things in the house were already covered with dust. She turned them over with her little hands.

Luo Jin didn't stop her. Although there was a plague here, more than ten years had passed. The virus couldn't survive without living people, so there was no risk of infection.

"Sister, my ball!" Xiaolian was excited, "The ball I played with when I was a kid! And this little wooden horse, my mother bought it for me when I was a kid!"

She held the two things in her hands, tears streaming down her cheeks, "Sister, I'm really a child of this family, my last name is Li, I remember it all, my name is Li Hanxiang."

Luo Jin walked to Xiaolian and gently hugged her shoulders, "Tomorrow we will go to the town to buy some paper money and burn it for the villagers, okay?"

Xiaolian nodded with tears in her eyes.

She took Xiaolian's hand and walked out of the Li residence, back to the village entrance, the three of them got on a carriage and stayed at an inn in the town.

Luo Jin asked the shopkeeper to fetch some water, washed Xiaolian's toys, and wiped them carefully with a soft cloth before returning them to her.

The next morning, Luo Jin took Xiaolian to the town to buy paper money. She had thought that Shui Yingchen didn't need to follow, but just burn some paper money. It was a bit strange for an emperor to follow in person.

Shui Yingchen ignored her and got on the car. Luo Jin was helpless, she didn't have the ability to drive him off the car.

The local government buried the bodies of the villagers in an open space behind the village. Although they were buried separately, there was no tombstone, so it was impossible to tell which was the Li family's grave.

Luo Jin bought a lot of paper money, so she burned paper on each grave.

After a long time, the paper money was finally burned. Luo Jin said, "Okay, let's go back."

Xiaolian stood in front of the grave and suddenly said, "I remembered something, sister, I'll take you to my house."

She ran away and Luo Jin hurriedly followed.

Xiaolian ran back to the Li residence and fumbled in a corner of the house for a while. Suddenly, she pressed a bulge and a crack appeared in the corner. Xiaolian reached in and took something out.

"I remember my mother told me that our Li family has a mission. As long as someone is still alive, this mission must be completed." Xiaolian said, opening the box.

There was a letter in the box with a few words written on it.

Princess of Yeyuan Kingdom, Feng Lingruo personally wrote.

Luo Jin picked up the letter, and felt something was wrong.

"Luo Xin died nineteen years ago, and Feng Lingruo is eighteen this year!"

"Written to someone who is not yet born... does have some meaning." Shui Yingchen said, and suddenly reached out to snatch the letter, tore open the seal, and took out the yellowed paper inside.

"Why did you open it? It's not your letter..." Luo Jin wanted to stop him, but Shui Yingchen had already unfolded the letter.

She had no choice but to wait for him to finish reading the letter.

Shui Yingchen only glanced at it a few times and finished reading the letter. He waved his finger lightly, and a flame lit up, lighting the letter.

Luo Jin was anxious, stretched out his hand to grab the letter, fanned out the fire, and angrily said: "What are you doing?"

Shui Yingchen said coldly: "That person's words can't be trusted."

"If she really can't predict, how can she know Feng Lingruo's name?" Luo Jin looked at the letter in her hand. Although she fanned out the fire, the letter was burned a little, and the lower half of the content could no longer be seen.

This is a letter from Luo Xin to Feng Lingruo, that is, a letter from the author of the novel to the protagonist of his own work.

What is written must be very important.

She looked at the letter in her hand.

The handwriting is very neat.

"Dear Feng Lingruo, hello, I am Luo Xin. You can call me the Great Astrologer, or you can call me... the author."

"I am the creator of this world, but unfortunately, I cannot change this world. Only you and He Xiao can change the world. I write to you to tell you about the disaster that is about to happen in this world."

"I'm sorry, this disaster is my setting for this world, but I didn't write this setting into the main storyline. When I entered this world, I found that those things that were originally only written in the setting notes actually existed in the world. Forgive me, I am an irresponsible author. Because some things happened in my life, I hurriedly finished this book. But the disaster was not solved, and the setting still exists."

"If I knew that the people in this novel would suffer so much because of my setting, I would definitely not do this. I feel very sorry for the original villain Shui Yingchen. I set a complicated and terrifying background for him, an absolute reason for his evil transformation, but I didn't let him appear and let the plot end. I have seen that child. He was only five years old at the time. His eyes were clear and he would smile and call me sister."

"I wanted to change his fate, so I told the prophecy about him. But I didn't expect that his cruel father ordered people to kill him and bury him in the underground palace in order to save his own life."

"And now, I want to tell you that I have set up another disaster in this world. Originally, I wanted you to solve it in the main storyline. But I didn't have time to finish writing it, because I died before I finished writing it."

"This disaster was caused by the insects created by Queen Mother Su of the Hanyuan Kingdom. To solve this disaster, you need to find two things. One is the Emperor Sword. I have placed it in the underground palace of the Yeyuan Palace. It is easy to find. The second is..."

The letter stopped here, and the rest of the letter was burned by Shui Yingchen and could not be seen.

Luo Jin raised his head and looked at Shui Yingchen with an inquiring look, "What is the second one? Did you see it?"

"No." Shui Yingchen snorted coldly, "I don't believe a word of it."

"Forget it." Luo Jin put the letter away and curled his lips, "There are two copies of this letter. The other copy was arranged to be sent to He Xiao. Obviously Luo Xin also knows that eggs cannot be put in the same basket. I will go to find Feng Lingruo and ask her to find the Yuhuang Sword first, and then ask He Xiao if he has received the other letter."

As soon as she turned around, Shui Yingchen suddenly grabbed her arm and said, "You can't go!"

Luo Jin shook off his hand, took a step back and said, "It's none of your business!"

Shui Yingchen suddenly drew his sword, without saying a word, and stabbed Luo Jin's back. Luo Jin immediately jumped away, frowning slightly, "You said you wouldn't hurt me."

"Just talking." Shui Yingchen turned her wrist and thrust another sword forward.

Luo Jin's hand flashed with blue light, blocking Shui Yingchen's attack. She was at a disadvantage with her short sword, and after a few moves, she suddenly jumped backwards.

Countless reptiles swarmed out from all around, bypassing her and crawling straight towards Shui Yingchen.

Shui Yingchen had to take two steps back to avoid the insects on the ground.

Luo Jin stood far away, not moving forward, but said lightly: "You have no chance of winning if you fight me."

"You are stronger than before..." Shui Yingchen whispered.

"I have recently reached the seventh level. I can last for a long time in this form. Even if I don't call these insects, I will not lose to you."

Shui Yingchen lowered his eyes and put away his sword.

"I understand," he said in a hoarse voice, "I respect your decision, as long as it is your own decision."

He sighed and turned away.

Xiaolian dared to come up and whispered, "This man burned letters and beat people... He is actually a bad guy, right?"

Luo Jin shook her head, "People in this world cannot be judged by a word of good or bad people."

She walked out of the house slowly.

"Let's go to Yeyuan."

You don't have to go through Hanyuan to go from Jiyuan to Yeyuan, but the journey is quite far. Luo Jin had Shui Yingchen's token in her hand, thinking that it would be a waste if she didn't use it. Anyway, he knew she was here, and there was an official post station nearby, which provided good service and was free of charge. She stopped the carriage at the post station and walked in.
