Qing'er lowered her head and did not look into Bai Song's eyes.
"You are a member of the imperial court, and you have had your own purpose from the beginning when you came into contact with me... Now that your purpose has been achieved and you have killed so many people, what are you going to do with me now?"
"Disposal..." Bai Song really didn't think about this issue seriously.
Some people cannot be forgiven even once, but there are some people that Bai Song can forgive unlimited times.
Obviously, Qing'er is the kind of person who can make Bai Song forgive him countless times.
But forgiveness is forgiveness. Bai Song felt that it was necessary to give Qing'er some correct guidance, but Bai Song didn't have any good methods or plans in a short period of time.
After thinking for a while, Bai Song said: "The Holy Lotus Sect cannot let you stay any longer."
"Hand me over to the imperial court to receive the reward?"
"You followed me before I thought about it."
"Follow you? Aren't you afraid that I will do something bad to you?"
"No...because you risked your life to save me, how could it be detrimental to me?"
"That's because I didn't know you were related to the imperial court."
Bai Song said nothing more and fell into deep thought.
What’s the next step?
So many people from the Holy Lotus Sect have died in Hekou Town, and continuing to work undercover in the Holy Lotus Sect is tantamount to death.
"That's it!"
Bai Song stood up, pulled Qing'er, and walked out of the room but did not leave the courtyard, but went behind the courtyard wall.
Qing'er didn't want to talk to Bai Song, but Bai Song's behavior was really strange, so she asked, "What is this for?"
Bai Song squatted down against the wall, made a personal ladder with his hands, and winked at Qing'er: "Come up."
"Come up?"
"Climb the wall, I'll take you away."
"Climb over the wall? Leave?" All the words made Qing'er feel very strange. What is this?
Bai Song said seriously: "I can't stay here any longer. I want to leave immediately. The Holy Lotus Sect and the imperial court have nothing to do with me!"
Qing'er still didn't quite understand, but when she saw Bai Song motioning for her to hurry up, she followed Bai Song over the wall to a remote road by accident.
Now every house in the town is closed and there is no one on the street.
Bai Song took Qing'er out of the town, stole two horses from the stable at the entrance of the town, and walked away in a random direction.
Qing'er couldn't understand it at all, so she followed him for a while before shouting from behind: "Where are we going?"
"Take a detour and go back to Jixian County!"
"Go back to Ji County?"
These words were too sudden. Qing'er was still thinking about it, but she didn't know that her actions along the way were also very strange.
Coming out of the town, there is a yellow sand dry road outside the town, and everywhere the horseshoes pass is full of smoke and dust.
Bai Song recalled everything today and felt that what he had done was earth-shattering enough, but the people who died were only rare in the Holy Lotus Sect.
It is not that simple to uproot a huge cult organization, and it cannot be accomplished by one person.
If you kill one leader, a second leader will appear immediately. To eradicate the cult, you want the people to get rid of their ignorance. Only by making the people richer and more satisfied with their current lives will no one believe in the heresy of gods and monsters.
This is the most profound feeling during this trip to the Bai Song Dynasty. Leaving at this moment is not out of fear, but because I suddenly have some clearer goals in my heart.
…
Since leaving Hekou Town, matters related to the Holy Lotus Sect have been completely disconnected from Bai Song. He no longer thought about what happened next. He drove fast along the bank of the Yangtze River and reached the official destination from Yangzhou to Youzhou in half a day.
On the road.
On the first night, the two stayed in a post house on the official road to rest.
Life seemed to return to normal in an instant.
There was a bright moon hanging in the window, and the waiter brought the food to the room.
Qing'er took off her veil, ate seriously, and tried hard not to think too much.
Bai Song found a new goal, but she was still confused.
She was taken away by Bai Song. When people from the Holy Lotus Sect see her in the future, they will probably think that she and Bai Song are in the same group.
I knew he was from the imperial court, but now I followed him away. How should I explain to my grandfather when I meet him in the future?
With all kinds of worries, the first night seemed to pass peacefully.
In the middle of the night, Qing'er suddenly heard a cry in her sleep. She suddenly woke up. She quickly opened her eyes and stood up, looking at the small bed in the opposite corner of the room. Bai Song was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head lowered, not knowing what he was doing.
"Mr. Bai, what's wrong?"
Bai Song sat by the bed, waved his hands, and said in shock: "It's nothing, I just had a nightmare."
Qing'er took a breath and fell asleep again.
But Bai Song never fell asleep again that night.
Bai Song dreamed of everything he did in Hekou Town during the day, but he was paying attention to himself from a God's perspective.
I saw myself poisoning everyone with the toxin I extracted, avenging poor Ping'er...
This should have been an extremely refreshing thing, but when I saw the indifference and disdain I showed in Hekou Town, as well as the extreme happiness that appeared from time to time, I suddenly felt a little afraid.
I can finally understand why everyone present is afraid...
At that moment, even I was a little afraid of myself.
And at the end of the dream, when I was telling everyone that there were no gods and monsters in this world, a voice suddenly echoed in my mind.
"Since there are no gods and monsters, how did you get here?"
The question woke Bai Song up instantly, and he felt as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him from somewhere.
Although he knew it was a dream, Bai Song couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time. He sat quietly by the bed until dawn.
Early in the morning, Qing'er woke up. Bai Song, who was sitting by the bed, was in low spirits. She couldn't help but asked with concern: "Mr. Bai, didn't you sleep well?"
Bai Song waved his hand: "Let's go, we have to hurry."
Qing'er did not pack her things immediately, but pointed to the outline of the distant mountains outside the window and said, "Mr. Bai, how about we go to the temple to burn incense sticks?"
"Incense?"
Qing'er nodded: "When I first joined the Holy Lotus Sect, I often had nightmares and couldn't sleep. After that, I went to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. I went several times and gradually got better."
Qing'er spoke calmly, but she could already see Bai Song's thoughts.
After all, Bai Song was not a murderer. He would have some heart palpitations after killing hundreds of people at once.
Bai Song had never believed in gods and Buddhas, but now he suddenly no longer rejected them, and instead felt a little relaxed, feeling that at least he had a way to dispel the haze.
…
An ancient temple deep in the mountains with very few people.
Two people and two horses, traveling all the way up the mountain, were already in dire straits in less than half a day.
The temple is unknown and the Buddhist hall is old, but it is rare to burn incense without paying for sesame oil.
In front of the Buddhist hall, Bai Song knelt for a long time. He didn't know what he was kneeling on or why he was kneeling.
But once people kneel down, they feel a lot more at ease. I wonder if they will still have nightmares when they sleep at night. At least now they are no longer so anxious.
When Bai Song felt calm, he stood up and prepared to leave.
But an old abbot came out of the small temple and said, "The sin of killing is too heavy on the donor's body, so it is better to stay in the temple for two days."
