Cypress Boat Floating

Chapter 108 Believe in yourself

"Why are you here?" Although Ye Jianqing was very surprised at Lu Ci Qiu's appearance, she was also a little curious. She really didn't expect Lu Ci Qiu to suddenly appear at the city gate.

"I've been waiting for you there. I don't know when you'll come back. I'm afraid they won't open the door for you when you come back." Lu Ci Qiu looked Ye Jianqing up and down, fearing that she might be injured. "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I had a meal at their house. I have to say Chi Yu's cooking skills are really good." Ye Jianqing slapped away his hand that was flipping him like a steak. Speaking of the meal in the evening, Ye Jianqing couldn't help licking the corner of his mouth. It must be said that Chi Yu's cooking is really good. Although it is simple food, it has a unique flavor.

"Is the food they cook so delicious? It almost takes your soul away." Seeing Ye Jianqing thinking about someone else, Lu Ciqiu felt a little sour in his heart. He was so worried about her and even stood guard at the city gate. But she went to someone else's house to eat and was still thinking about him after eating.

"It is indeed delicious. Hahahaha." Lu Ci Qiu's angry look made Ye Jianqing laugh, and made her want to tease him a little.

Lu Ci Qiu snorted coldly and turned away.

After all, he was just a child. Ye Jianqing didn't get angry when he saw it, but just laughed, "Why, don't you want to know what story I learned there?"

Lu Ci Qiu bit his lower lip tightly. He wanted to know, but he didn't want to forgive Ye Jianqing so quickly, lest she always be like this. But in the end, he couldn't help but asked angrily, "What's the story?"

"Murong Zhixu has a close relationship with Shenwu and even has a grudge against Shenwu."

“???” After hearing the news, Lu Ci Qiu no longer remembered why he was angry or jealous, and turned around in surprise.

“This is different from what I found today.”

Ye Jianqing raised his eyebrows: "Oh, so what did you find out today?"

"Everyone in the martial arts world is very reverent about this shrine. There are only believers in the shrine, no enemies," said Lu Ci Qiu.

Ye Jianqing was not particularly surprised to get this result. After all, he had heard the same thing from Murong Zhixu.

The shrine is a magical place, and the person who controls it is even more magical. I don’t know what method he used to make people so devoted to him that they are willing to even give their lives for him.

Apart from Murong Zhixu, Shenwu basically has no enemies.

After thinking about it, Ye Jianqing told Lu Ci Qiu all the stories he heard from Murong Zhixu.

The journey from the city gate to the Xianwang Mansion was not long. When the story was finished, the carriage stopped. Lu Ciqiu got off first, and then helped Ye Jianqing get off. The two entered the palace one after the other without any communication.

Ye Jianqing also knew that he needed to digest this story. Besides, there were many people outside monitoring them. Who knew if there would be anyone from the God's House among them.

"This shrine has existed in the martial arts world for such a long time. It has been quiet for more than 20 years and has never been exposed. Why did it suddenly come to the capital this time and publicize them so much that it even reached the ears of my father?" After returning to the study, Lu Ci Qiu sat down and asked.

Ever since he finished listening to Murong Zhixu's story, he has always felt that there is something very strange, but he didn't think it through just now. When he walked into the study, he suddenly thought of it. Since the Shenwu has existed for more than 20 years and is also a representative in the martial arts world, he didn't know it before, and even Lu Zhixing didn't know it. This means that the Shenwu intends to keep a low profile and not intend to be in the limelight.

But why is it being publicized like this now, and everyone in the capital knows about it? Is this shrine different from the one in the martial arts world?

He told Ye Jianqing about this conjecture.

"You mean, this God's House in the capital is not the same as the God's House in the martial arts world? But someone is taking advantage of the name of the God's House in the martial arts world?" Ye Jianqing rubbed his chin unconsciously with his left hand and fell into thought.

What Lu Ci Qiu said makes sense, it is a crime of imitation.

The Shenwu in the world is so famous that it is not impossible for someone to impersonate it. So after all, what Murong Zhixu said is the most correct. If you want to know who is behind the Shenwu, you have to figure out the operating model of the Shenwu. Only by finding the weakness of the Shenwu can you defeat it in one blow.

"But now we can't even find the entrance to the God's House. What should we do?" Lu Ci Qiu felt a little annoyed when talking about this. Obviously everyone is talking about the God's House, everyone knows about the God's House, but no one knows where the God's House is.

Ye Jianqing: "Let's go around and have a look tomorrow. The reason why the shrine is so popular must be because someone has been there before and knows that it can really fulfill wishes. Otherwise, the name of the shrine would not be known. We can go find those who have really been there and see how to enter the shrine."

Lu Ci Qiu nodded. This was the only way now. There was no other way. Both of them had never been in the underworld and knew very little about it. They had never come into contact with any underworld people, and there was no good way to get in touch with the God's House. They could only investigate further.

"What does your second brother say about this?" Ye Jianqing asked. Lu Ci Qiu always followed Lu Zhixing's arrangements in solving cases, but these two days he went out to investigate with her alone, and she didn't see Lu Zhixing, which was strange.

Lu Ci Qiu stammered, "Second brother has something to do," and then turned off the car.

Ye Jianqing glanced at him. He was very surprised. He lowered his head and pretended to drink water to avoid his gaze. He didn't dare to look at him. It seemed that he was hiding something from him.

Ye Jianqing sighed. She was just asking. If it was inconvenient to say it, then just say it directly. It would be better not to do this.

"I'm going back to sleep." He got up and went back to the house.

She was not in a good mood today and was not in the mood to joke with Lu Ci Qiu.

When the weather gets hot, cicadas come out at night, chirping non-stop and making people feel uneasy. Ye Jianqing tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.

She wanted to go to the kitchen to get a pot of wine, but just as she sat up, she remembered that she was under eighteen years old and could not drink, so she lay down again.

"I'm so annoyed!!!" In fact, she couldn't tell what she was annoyed about, but she was just very confused and couldn't calm down, so naturally she couldn't fall asleep.

Murong Zhixu's words kept ringing in her ears. She believed Murong Zhixu, but the vigilance in her heart told her that she couldn't be so decisive in doing things. She and Murong Zhixu had only met once in their previous life, and she didn't know what kind of person he was.

The files also said that he had killed many people, but he told himself that these people were indeed sent by the God's House to kill him.

She was really confused and didn't know who to trust.

It is true that there are problems with the shrine, and it is also true that she wants to investigate the shrine.

But what if Murong Zhixu uses his eagerness to investigate the Shenwu to get rid of the Shenwu?

Did he really lose his memory? What terrible thing in the shrine could have caused him to lose this part of his memory?

Ye Jianqing really felt confused. She didn't know who to trust, or rather, she didn't want to trust anyone. Both sides were worthy of vigilance and precaution. Neither Murong Zhixu nor Chi Yu could be trusted casually.

Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the door.

Although he knew that no one would do anything to him in the palace, Ye Jianqing still held the skylark cautiously in his hand and looked at the door without saying a word.

In the moonlight, a figure could be seen at the door of the room. It looked like a man. Based on his height, Ye Jianqing seemed to know roughly who it was.

Sure enough, after a while, the person at the door of the room spoke: "I heard you wailing in there. It seems that you are in trouble. Do you want to come out for a drink?"

It was Lu Ci Qiu's voice.

Hearing Lu Ci Qiu's voice, Ye Jianqing finally relaxed and put the Skylark back into the scabbard on her calf.

"That's strange. How come you heard me wailing?" Ye Jianqing opened the door, and it was Lu Ci Qiu outside the door, holding two jugs of wine in his hands. He waved at her when he saw her come out.

Ye Jianqing took one of the jugs of wine with a smile, opened the lid and smelled it, it was fruit wine.

"I just happened to pass by." Lu Ci Qiu said.

Ye Jianqing didn't believe him, but didn't say anything. He just took the wine, jumped up with his feet, and then with the help of the doorpost, he rushed onto the roof.

Lu Ci Qiu looked up at the roof, then looked at himself. It seemed that his lightness skill was not that good yet. When he was about to try to jump up like Ye Jianqing, Ye Jianqing's voice came down from the roof.

"There's a ladder nearby. Your Qinggong isn't that good, so just take the ladder."

Lu Ci Qiu laughed, as if she was seen through, but she was also concerned about herself and even prepared a ladder for me, hehe.

Lu Ci Qiu obediently pulled a ladder from the side and climbed up step by step. In fact, although his lightness skill was not as strong as Ye Jianqing's, he could still get to the roof. However, Ye Jianqing had already spoken, and he didn't want to refute her, so he just took the ladder obediently.

"What's wrong? Why can't you sleep so late at night?" Lu Ci Qiu asked after finally sitting down next to Ye Jianqing.

"I don't know whether I should believe Murong Zhixu." Ye Jianqing sighed and looked at the layers of roofs in the distance. She put the pot of wine aside. She wanted to drink but felt that she was not old enough to drink.

"Why should we trust him?" Lu Ci Qiu poured a mouthful of wine into his throat. The fruit wine was sweet and there was nothing special about it, but it had a strong aftertaste. Lu Ci Qiu knew this, so he drank it little by little. "In my opinion, Shenwu and Murong Zhixu are not in conflict. In my opinion, the two of them are not opposites. They may even be in the same group. Therefore, everything Murong Zhixu said about Shenwu needs to be verified."

Ye Jianqing tilted her head to look at him. She didn’t know if it was because it was too late and her brain had stopped working or because she was a little tired today, but she seemed to be unable to understand what Lu Ci Qiu said.

Lu Ci Qiu had never seen such a reaction from Ye Jianqing before. He thought it was cute and spoke in a gentler voice: "What Murong Zhixu said about Shenwu was his own experience. If it is true, I sympathize with him. But what if it is false? What if he just used you because he knew you were investigating Shenwu? So why do you have to choose to believe him or Shenwu? In my opinion, don't believe anyone else, just believe in yourself."

"Believe in yourself?"

"Yeah, just believe what you have investigated. Murong Zhixu is Murong Zhixu, and Shenwu is Shenwu. We don't know whether they are real or fake, so why bother to believe them."
