It turned out that tonight was a full moon. Bai Zhi faced the moonlight, took a deep breath of the cool night air, and said, "My name is Bai Zhi, and I have the same name and surname as this girl Bai Zhi. Because I happened to die at a similar time, she used her merits to exchange for me to continue living in her body, and asked me to take care of Qiaoqiao."

After the words fell, the alley was silent for a moment. Gu Yan slightly widened his eyes, and Bai Zhi said to him: "Whether you believe it or not, it is true."

"…died at a similar time?"

"Yes, on the third day after marrying into the mansion, she died in the water, and I died in the clinic." Bai Zhi's tone was as calm as if she was talking about someone else's affairs, "The one Qiaoqiao pulled up was not her daughter, but she saved me by chance."

Gu Yan was silent for a while, and suddenly thought of something. He grabbed Bai Zhi's wrist and asked anxiously, "In other words, there is really such a thing as reincarnation of the soul in the world?"

This hand that could easily punch the air when sparring with her was now trembling slightly, and the palm was so hot that Bai Zhi was reminded of the injustice of Lin Ruogui burning Princess Jing to death. She covered this hand and whispered, "Do you want to hear me say yes or no?"

Bai Zhi's hands were very steady, and she stopped Gu Yan's trembling. He suddenly smiled and said, "Yeah, so what if there is, so what if there is not?"

The past is gone.

Gu Yan said no more, leaned close to Bai Zhi, took a long breath, closed his eyes and rested.

The two of them were staying here like sleepless people who were wandering around, while the marquis's mansion a few streets away would soon become a battlefield.

This huge contrast makes it difficult to distinguish reality from illusion.

After more than half an hour, footsteps were suddenly heard from the corner of the wall a few steps away.

Gu Yan took two steps to block Bai Zhi and asked sternly, "Who!"

Five breaths later, a trembling figure emerged from behind the corner - it was Mingxin.

"Please forgive me, Third Master and Third Madam. I saw you guys coming out and was afraid that something might happen, so I followed you secretly." Ming Xin's eyes were a little evasive, and she said timidly, "It was just that I lost you for a moment and searched for a long time."

Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was one of her own. If she had turned around and found Ge Zhen showing up, she would have been so frightened.

But this “lost” is really worrying. Mingxin saw them come out with her own eyes, and then lost them - didn’t they get lost at the small door?

"It was the old lady who asked us to come out to spread the message and call for help." Bai Zhi said calmly, "Didn't I tell you to hide? It's so dangerous for you to chase us out like this."

"Madam, it's not dangerous. I didn't encounter any robbers."

Oh no, he didn't encounter any robbers, which means he came out early. He really ran out after them. I don't know if he saw Gu Yan using Qinggong. Bai Zhi coughed twice and smiled, "You are quite capable. Did you climb out along the rope we left at the small door?"

Mingxin's tone obviously slowed down: "Rope...rope?"

"Yes, wasn't the small door locked? We climbed out along the rope, like monkeys, rubbing and rubbing." Bai Zhi walked forward and patted Ming Xin's shoulder, "Then how else did you get out?"

Ming Xin scratched his head and smiled as if relieved: "How could I have such ability? Seeing that the Third Master and the Third Madam disappeared all of a sudden, and not knowing what happened, I had no choice but to crawl out from the dog hole next to me... It turned out that the Third Master and the Third Madam climbed out along the rope."

Bai Zhi took in Ming Xin's expression and said with a smile, "How could you recognize us in the dark?"

"Madam, to be honest, I have watched the Third Master for a long time and I am very familiar with him. Even if it is dark, I can recognize him at a glance."

This reason is barely sufficient.

Bai Zhi turned around and glanced at Gu Yan. Gu Yan looked up at the sky and saw something. When he looked down again, he saw the familiar face of the scholar Gu Yan. He fanned himself and waved slowly, chuckling, "Go back quickly. Mother will be worried."

...My goodness, he turned into a different person in the blink of an eye. I feel so disunited just looking at him. No wonder he went crazy that time.

It only takes an incense stick of time to run from here to the Marquis' Mansion, but it would be much slower if you walk. When the three of them arrived at the alley of the Marquis' Mansion, it was already dawn. They saw scattered corpses and body parts on the ground. Not far away, there was a pile of corpses of more than a dozen people, blocking the road. The high walls on both sides were covered with bloodstains that had not yet dried, and the smell of blood and rust rushed straight into their noses. This looked really horrifying at first glance. Bai Zhi took a deep breath to calm herself down, and listened carefully. The Marquis' Mansion was dead silent.

It looks like it's over.

Ming Xin had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she trembled as she said, "This... this..."

"This is really unbearable to watch!" Gu Yan stepped back a few steps, holding his folding fan in front of his face, looking terrified, "I don't know how mother is doing, let's go back quickly!" He turned around and held Bai Zhi's hand, "Zhi'er, don't be afraid!"

Bai Zhi: "..." Gu Yan's expression was too exaggerated, which made her want to laugh. She quickly controlled her expression and looked at the miserable situation on the ground for a few more times. Then she pretended to be a little scared. "It's terrible! Husband, let's go! Mingxin, follow me!"

The road ahead was blocked, so Gu Yan turned back and planned to take another route. Bai Zhi followed closely, and after a few steps, she looked back to see if Ming Xin had caught up with her. She found that Ming Xin was still frozen in place, staring blankly ahead.

Bai Zhi thought he was frightened and rushed forward to pull him: "Go."

"Third, Third Madam, look." Ming Xin raised her hand tremblingly and pointed at the pile of corpses in front of her, "It seems to be moving."

Moving? ? Bai Zhi looked as she was told, and suddenly a head popped out from behind the pile of corpses. She was wearing a horse bun and a golden hairpin. Using both her hands and feet, she climbed up the pile of corpses in two or three steps. Her bloodstained moon-white clothes made her look like the White Impermanence coming out of the underworld to claim lives.

Ge Zhen.

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses she just called out "Sister-in-law".

This scene was so horrifying that even a fool would be unable to say a word standing there.

Ge Zhen glanced at Bai Zhi, and the look in his eyes was no different from the one he used to look at the dead bodies around him. Then he looked behind Bai Zhi and softly called out "A Yan".

Gu Yan walked up to Bai Zhi and said gently, "Sister-in-law, it's dangerous up there, please come down quickly."

Ge Zhen stared at Gu Yan in a trance, and after a moment he burst into a very sharp laugh.

Baizhi subconsciously pulled Mingxin back a few steps.

"Really, really." Ge Zhen tilted his head and smiled like a fake face, "You really look like him."

Gu Yan lowered his eyelids slightly, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Sister-in-law, what does this mean?"
