N-A-A Chapter 1657 Stealing Incense
Chapter 1657 Stealing Incense
Just now, Shen Xiangjun rushed inside, shouting for Luo Qiu, but Lu Zhaoling completely ignored her.
She planned to wait until Shen Xiangjun actually called Luo Qiu out before going in.
Anyway, the dark energy outside has mostly dissipated, so it's relatively safe.
She should wake up the dancers first.
Lu Zhaoling could tell that these dancers hadn't actually committed any murders and were therefore innocent, right?
So she just drew a talisman right here and there, and gave one to each of them.
The talisman took effect, and seeing their complexions improve, Lu Zhaoling didn't intend to be too gentle with them. She reached out and patted one of the dancers' faces, using a bit of force, making a loud slapping sound.
If you're too gentle, you might not wake the other person up.
The dancer opened her eyes after being patted a few times by Lu Zhaoling, her gaze dazed.
She looked at Lu Zhaoling, unsure how to react, her mind still a little dizzy.
Lu Zhaoling asked, "You were summoned here by Luo Qiu, right? Did she ask you to come and dance, or did she give you something to eat? Do you remember what you did just now?"
The dancer only came to her senses a little after hearing these questions.
Her eyes began to show fear, and she shrank back, saying fearfully, "We don't know anything! Miss Luo gave us a pill, and after that, we don't remember anything."
Dance?
Did they dance?
The dancer then realized that her whole body ached and her limbs were weak, and she didn't even know what she had just done.
She looked at herself in alarm, and saw that although her clothes were thin, there was nothing wrong with her. These were the clothes they had been ordered to change into before, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, we just danced, didn't we?" the dancer asked Lu Zhaoling timidly.
Then I saw Yin Changxing and Weng Songzhi.
She almost screamed, then quickly covered her mouth.
She was almost startled because she suddenly saw two men, but at a second glance she could tell that these two men had a different temperament from the men who used to come to the pleasure boats. These two men clearly had the air of superior people, and they didn't seem like they would do anything bad to them, so the dancer covered her mouth.
Lu Zhaoling nodded and said, "It was indeed just dancing, but you probably don't remember what kind of dance you were dancing, right?"
Just then, a piece of music came from inside.
The music sounded plaintive and sorrowful, as if a woman who had suffered all kinds of injustice and hardship was crying.
It's heartbreaking to hear.
The other dancers also woke up at this time. As they listened to the music, their eyes gradually reddened, and the first dancer to wake up shed a tear with a "plop".
She clutched her chest, feeling terribly uncomfortable.
Lu Zhaoling glanced inside and realized that she had stopped hearing Shen Xiangjun's shouting at some point.
I didn't hear Luo Qiu's voice either, but this music...
She asked the dancers, "Is this Luo Qiu playing? Have you heard it before?"
The dancers all shook their heads.
They were all in tears, their faces filled with sorrow.
This melody has a unique magic.
Yin Changxing said, "This is the Song of Repentance."
"What is it?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
She had never heard of it.
Weng Songzhi explained, "This is a very famous folk lament from a hundred years ago."
"However, because it can evoke the most painful and aggrieved emotions in people's hearts when played, and may even cause people to commit suicide because they cannot bear it, it was once banned and no one was allowed to play this piece."
"It didn't circulate for long. After it was banned, no one played it anymore. I never expected to hear it again at this time."
Lu Zhaoling noticed that when Weng Songzhi spoke these words, his mood seemed to have dropped considerably compared to before, and his tone carried a faint sense of depression.
He seemed to be trying hard to restrain himself.
Lu Zhaoling reached out and patted him, saying, "Uncle-Master, you weren't affected too, were you?"
As she patted him, she also sent a wisp of spiritual energy to Weng Songzhi.
Weng Songzhi immediately felt a sense of relief.
He gave a wry smile and said, "I didn't expect to be affected so quickly."
Yin Changxing said from the side, "It's not surprising. This piece of music was indeed somewhat strange back then."
Weng Songzhi looked at him and said, "Senior brother, have you been affected?"
Yin Changxing did not answer him, but only glanced at Lu Zhaoling.
Weng Songzhi immediately understood that his senior brother had also been affected, but the negative emotions that were stirred up must be related to Xiao Ling'er. However, he would not say it now and make Xiao Ling'er worry.
Lu Zhaoling pretended not to notice.
She stood up. "Shouldn't we go in and see what Luo Qiufei is up to with all this effort?"
The dancers nearby cried out to her, "Girl, please save us!"
They all knew something was wrong with the music; they were a little scared after hearing what Weng Songzhi said.
The current Miss Luo is definitely different from before, otherwise the pleasure boat wouldn't be so strange now. No guests are coming up, and Miss Luo hasn't shown herself. She's just playing this mournful tune. What is she trying to do?
These dancers now only want to leave the pleasure boat.
Lu Zhaoling said to them, "We can't go back yet. We're in the middle of the lake. Just stay here and don't wander off."
Several dancers huddled together in a corner, trembling.
"Sister."
Yin Yunting came in.
Seeing the trembling girls, he paused, waved his hand, and a cloud of mist rushed over. After the mist enveloped them, the girls all fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Zhaoling: “…”
The eldest junior brother is truly outstanding.
She woke him up, but he immediately put him back to sleep as soon as he arrived.
Yin Yunting explained, "It's not good to let them see this guy; we'll have to erase their memories later."
Otherwise, wouldn't that be frightening?
Lu Zhaoling glanced behind him and asked, "Have you caught that evil spirit yet?"
The two envoys, one black and one white, dragged the evil spirit inside. A trail of blood was left on the deck.
As soon as the evil spirit entered, it emitted a foul odor, as if it had been submerged in water for a long time, mixed with the fishy smell of rotten moss and water plants, which was very unpleasant.
Lu Zhaoling, unable to bear it any longer, demanded, "Why did you drag him in here?"
"Senior Sister, didn't Shen Xiangjun have a marriage line on her body before? It was this guy who did it. Moreover, the things this guy stole were hidden in the roof beast, which is why we felt that the roof beast was abnormal, but we couldn't detect it."
Yin Yunting said, "He was a ghost cultivator who once devoured the incense and offerings of several matchmaking temples in the mortal world."
