Chapter 14 The Singing Style of Youth
Waking up again, Jing Shuiyi was uncomfortable for a while, he could only squint his eyes, he was sitting against the wall, Cang Hui woke up one step ahead of him, right next to him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Jing Shuiyi looked at Cang Hui and couldn't help laughing, Cang Hui was used to wearing a mask, so he took advantage of the moment when he woke up late to find a mask and put it on.
Jing Shuiyi began to examine the current situation, he and Cang Hui were taken out of there by the intruders, and now they are in a corridor, according to the behavior of this group of people looking around, they must not be the people here. They shuttled back and forth in the corridor to and from here to a strangely shaped door some distance from here, which was wide open, and it was dark inside, and no matter what light there was outside, it was impossible to illuminate what was inside, and they had to enter to check it bit by bit.
"Senior, is that where we were held before?" Jing Shuiyi asked Xiang Canghui as he pointed to the door.
"That's how it should be. Canghui's aging voice replied.
Jing Shuiyi continued to observe them, and the clothes were extremely familiar, and they were actually worn by people in the lonely city. There were only a dozen of them in total, and even if they were covered by cloaks, from Jing Shuiyi's eyes, they were all more or less injured.
"Loose bones!" Jing Shuiyi shouted with all his might, his voice still weak.
"Oh, you're awake. The Lord of the Lonely City, Songguke, walked slowly, his face was as dead as ashes, his eyes were glazed, and he was also the most seriously injured in Jing Shuiyi's eyes, but the momentum of his voice did not mean to decay.
"Have you seen a stranger coming in and out of here?" Jing Shuiyi asked. He asked Qingxun, and this person's behavior was suspicious and weird.
"None. ”
"Okay!" Jing Shuiyi didn't intend to suspect him of concealment, "I'll just ask you what you must know, what happened in the Lonely City?"
"Haha......" Songboneke looked up and smiled, this laughter was worth thousands of outpourings, "I am a resident of the lonely city, I can't enter the kingdom of heaven, I go to the hidden spring!" hahaha......" He turned around and walked out, just one person walked out of the door, and since then, all the faces Jing Shuiyi saw here have been outside the door.
"Is the end of the dungeon in the prison capital clear?" asked the Pinebone.
"Yes, every corner has been recorded, and the prisons I saw on the road were about the same as ordinary cells. One of them replied.
"Why? I don't believe it......! It's the same as that door!Why are there only so two people hiding?Ha! There must be a secret way, keep looking for me!" He said, and looked at Jing Shuiyi and Cang Hui again, his eyes no longer had a recognizable look, Jing Shuiyi prayed in his heart, thinking that he must not drive himself and Cang back to help him find some secret way.
"The rest is none of your business. You can go out directly along this road, and there is no fork in the road in the prison capital. ”
Jing Shui Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but he suddenly thought of something terrible, and only looked at the loose bone guest with his own weak face.
The Loose Bone Ke immediately understood what he meant, and called, "Step to the court, come here!" A man with a burden immediately ran to him, "Fetch some food." The Loose Bone commanded.
Bu Chaoting frowned, knowing that it was useless to say more, so he only opened the burden in front of him, this burden looked deflated, and there were only two pieces of dry food inside. Songguke picked up the two pieces of dry food with one hand and walked over to deliver them to Jing Shuiyi and the others.
"Thank you. Cang Hui took the dry food and said. Jing Shui Yi was silent, because his relationship with the Lonely City was very delicate, no matter what his original intention was to go to the Lonely City, he didn't know what the accident in the Lonely City had to do with him, he only knew that he was locked up here for a few days because of the Lonely City's involvement.
There are differences between the two regarding their attitudes towards the Songgu Ke and helping each other that do not need to be discussed, but there is one thing that the two tacitly agree on:
These two pieces of dry food are not enough for a dozen people.
Jing Shuiyi chewed on the dry food, and saw that Cang Hui was reluctant to take off the mask, so he silently hid the dry food under his clothes, and couldn't help laughing.
......
looked at the store again, he was still indifferent, Qi Wuwei shook his head with a wry smile, and said to the visitor: "Let's go out to find an open place, don't smash other people's business." ”
The man smiled: "How can it be done? This is Zhongzhou, and I really can't find a better place than this." The man gestured slightly to the other person, and the other person's hand on the sword was tacitly taken away, and the man said to Qi Wuwei: "Or, if you really don't want to see this shop lose something because of our fight, you can be arrested, and I Ju Yiyao will guarantee you a happy death with my reputation." ”
"Alas!" Qi Wuwei stood up, "The rivers and lakes are really changeable, I am also a newcomer to the rivers and lakes, and it has only been a long time since I left Zhongzhou, and there are people I have never heard of to vouch for my reputation." ”
Ju Yiyao's tense face twitched slightly, "Have you made a decision?"
Qi Wuwei straightened his spine with his hands behind his back, raised his head and exposed his neck to Ju Yiyao and said, "Please!" After he finished speaking for a moment, a rush of footsteps rushed forward behind him, and then he felt that his hands behind his back were being held, and the person made a clever effort, intending to firmly restrain Qi Wuwei, but if he really faced the top master, he could only win the opportunity of one move, although the opportunity of this move was very critical, but whose hands could hold it for nothing?
"I'm sorry! Ju Yiyao said, "Not only can I not let you die happily, but I also need you to help me with one thing." As he spoke, he quickly drew his sword, not giving Qi Wuwei a chance to answer, and then rushed to say: "I will stab your throat and pierce your neck with a sword, but I won't let you die immediately." I know you can't speak, so I ask you, if I can compare to the Zhongzhou swordsman you have seen, you will roll your eyes, if I can't compare, you will blink more, let me know that my level is not enough. ”
Qi Wuwei was tired from raising his head, moved his neck and said, "Okay, thank you for lifting, let's do it!"
Ju Yiyao slowly raised the sword and aimed the tip of the sword at Qi Wuwei's neck, and the small shop was eerily quiet at this time, so quiet that he could hear the sound of the sword blade cutting through the air.
"Do you want to do it in my shop?" the owner of the small shop finally spoke.
"Huh?" Ju Yiyao looked at him inexplicably.
"Isn't that going to have blood,, and urine on the floor of my table and stool?" the shopkeeper said in a calm tone, without the slightest fluctuation in his mood.
"Don't worry, if you don't give me food, the blood won't flow, how can there be feces and urine?" Qi Wuwei said with a smile, he smiled and smiled, and his breath suddenly stagnated, because he felt that the force exerted on his hands was a little heavier. At present, the two people who are enemies of him have an indescribable tacit understanding, and this extra force is also a signal, a signal that Ju Yiyao is about to make a move.
Qi Wuwei's heart was in turmoil, not for his own livelihood, but for whether the shopkeeper was conspiring with the two, the closer and closer tip of the sword seemed to be not enough to make him care, and his heart was confused, just because there were two voices debating one thing:
"It should be a group! Use my personality to lure me into the trap and let me die in vain!"
"It shouldn't be a group, right! Silent and cold, how can you attract suspicion?"
The tip of the sword stopped very close to Qi Wuwei, and Qi Wuwei's Adam's apple had already felt the coldness. A voice came from directly ahead, but it was not Ju Yiyao's:
"It's better to ...... I also ask you to do something for me, and if you think my means are better than yours, roll your eyes, and if not, blink. ”
Qi Wuwei hurriedly straightened the back of his neck, only to see a hand patting Ju Yiyao's shoulder at some point, and the sound came from the owner of the hand, who was standing behind Ju Yiyao. After he finished speaking, Ju Yiyao's arm on the platform did not move, but his wrist flipped over, and the sword fell to the ground with a "thud". Ju Yiyao's muscles and bones seemed to have softened, but the hands of the people behind him did not move, and the shoulders of his subordinates did not leave that hand, as if there was a mouth in the palm of the hand that sucked Ju Yiyao and prevented him from falling.
The hand on his shoulder slowly withdrew, and he saw Ju Yiyao rolling his eyes and kneeling down first, his body slowly planted to the side, and there was no movement. His accomplice saw that the situation was not good, and immediately turned around and ran, not running a few steps, but seeing that the person who came to put the hand on Ju Yiyao's shoulder waved lightly, a small silver light shot out, even if he reacted quickly and immediately drew his sword to parry, the silver light passed by like a sword, and still shot at him, but his reaction was completely different from Ju Yiyao, just like a sleeping person had a nightmare, frowning and tossing and turning at the same time, his mouth kept whispering something.
The person who came only made a few understatement actions, subdued the two people, and resolved Qi Wuwei's crisis, but Qi Wuwei walked straight out of the door as if he didn't see him.
The visitor asked, "Are you ...... Don't you say 'thank you'?"
Qi Wuwei listened and walked, and when he walked to the door, he was suddenly blocked by another person, who was covered in cloth, not showing any skin and flesh, and the mask was worn on his face, but even the eye sockets were sealed and not transparent.
Qi Wuwei had no choice but to reply: "Your Excellency's extra diligence is not Qi Mou's reliance on Your Excellency. ”
"Hah!" the man laughed, "what a 'superfluous courtesy'! tell me where the 'superfluous' is, and let you go!"
"They used the wrong method on me, I could have solved the trouble myself and got rid of these two, but Your Excellency got into trouble and took it upon himself. Isn't that redundant?"
The man shook his head, "Listen, you only use the word 'get rid of', you can't avoid trouble, because you don't know the origin of these two people." But I know, so my approach is to leave one except for one, here are the people of the Northern Ju family, and that side is the people of the Xiao family in Zhongzhou, the surname Ju is rooted in the distance, no scruples, but the surname Xiao is almost in front of me, and I have to guard against it. Qi Wuwei, let me ask you, is it redundant to think about me at this level?"
Qi Wuwei's face was a little ugly, "This ......"
"Besides, whether they kill all of them or treat them differently, the two major families will inevitably ask the people who did the work against these two people, such as you and me, we will fight with the evil cooperation of the prison capital that is opposite to the position of the righteous path of martial arts, but I have the support of the family behind me, they must listen to me after speaking, what is behind you? I know that you are from an extraordinary background, but your background is not your backer!"
Although Qi Wuwei was shocked in his heart, he still asked calmly: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name, what family is it?"
The man slowly walked to the side of the Xiao family disciple who was having a nightmare, squatted down and wiped the silver light on his body with his hand, and saw that the Xiao family disciple was sleeping more steadily, and then he replied: "My name is Jing Xie, you naturally have the answer to the second question." ”
Qi Wuwei arched his hand and said solemnly: "Senior! Jing Shuiyi is Qi's best friend, so please allow me to call it so!"
Qi Wuwei thought for a while, and then said, "Ah!
"Oh?"
"Thank you, senior!"
“......”
......
There was a sharp knock on the door.
"Delusional girl, stop! You should rest more after the journey!" the idiot's voice came from inside the door.
"How many days have we been here? You were much more energetic than me when you first arrived, and now you feel tired?"
The idiot was silent for a while and said, "Huh...... Under it, the water and soil are not adapted, and the water and soil are not adapted!"
"You are not a weak and sour talent, you can go to the lonely city of wind and fire, but you don't accept this Guitian Youyang, who can give birth to famous families the most. ”
The tone of every sentence was full of bitterness, and her repeated questioning was like torture at the moment, which made the idiot uneasy. This makes the idiot more eager to defend himself, but he is even more afraid of another round of questioning that will inevitably come.
The sound of a vain knock on the door came again, and the idiot had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Yes! It's me useless! I haven't seen the world! I don't know what to say to what kind of people, because I can't tell which of the people walking on the street are ordinary people and which are officials, and who knows that only royal relatives are allowed to travel in sedan chairs in this shabby place! I don't recognize the official uniforms worn by officials, and I can't tell the difference between high and low in the fancy clothes worn by rich people! I don't dare to look at them, but they have the confidence to look at me, and there is contempt and curiosity in their eyes, and there is hostility that I can't read...... What do I do when I read it? What do I do when I go out? Just wait for the sword to break one day, and then I'll go out and see what is going on! After that, I just go to my master and learn the sword well. ”
Delusion's voice was still so cold, "If you follow your master here, will you still be afraid?"
Despite the coldness of her voice, the sentence was not as aggressive as before. Intentionally or unintentionally, he gave the idiot more space to think, and the idiot not only thought of Jing Shuiyi, but also thought of Qi Wuwei and Qi Yan who really took him out of ordinary life. If any one of these three brought him here, would he be so afraid?
"I ...... I would be much more comfortable. The idiot replied.
"As a follower, you don't have any scruples because there are a lot of things you don't need to think about. Why, it's so hard for you to follow me?" she didn't give the idiot a chance to answer, because the idiot really didn't know how to answer, "Because following me is different from following your master, it's just that I'm young and a woman, walking with me makes you think you're an adult, and you think you're in charge, but you can't remember who planned the route along the way, who spent the money for food and lodging, and who made up your mind with your master to take you here in the first place." You've never had an idea, and it's never your turn to come up with an idea, and even then, you've forgotten how to be an entourage. But I remember that you said on the way that you used to work in the inn, right?"
These words are like sharp arrows, and the arrows seal the throat of the idiot and pierce the heart of the idiot. The idiot replied with difficulty in a trembling voice: "Yes......"
He smiled contemptuously, "Then you shouldn't go looking for your master after the sword duel." I tell you what his life is, I am redundant, only you delay him, why should he delay you? You should go back to the inn where you used to work. ”
The delusional hand has touched the door, although she said proudly, but the anger is uncontrollable, just as there is a momentum of breaking into the door and continuing to scold, but you can hear a "boom" in the door, delusion seems to be able to imagine that the young man will turn anger into power, punching an innocent object.
The idiot gritted his teeth and said viciously, "I only forgot where I came from first, and didn't hear what people were talking about. ”
I was startled in vain, and then I remembered that I had heard tourists talking about the officials of Liangping City who provoked people from the rivers and lakes to lead to the massacre of the city. Just because of the condition of provoking people in the rivers and lakes, even a fool knows that first, no people in the rivers and lakes dare to do this, and secondly, people who really dare to make such a big move will definitely let his own name or power spread together with this matter to achieve some purpose. But so far, the government has not given a reasonable explanation. For the two now, the government's explanation is actually not important, but considering the "slaughter of the city", it has become a fact.
An inexplicable sense of powerlessness came from the bottom of her heart, and this powerlessness soaked her whole body. The hand that touched the door with anger was still raised, but it was so weak that it seemed to hang on the door, and the straight spine could only let her pile up in dizziness slide down, and the forehead somehow pressed against the door, and I didn't know what kind of entanglement the anger had become on my face.
When you can't say anything reproachful, should you continue to snub or comfort. This was supposed to be a stalemate for a while, but it was broken by an interesting misunderstanding.
"Pedal pedal ......" There was a sound of going upstairs, and a teenager shouted: "What's the matter? What's the matter? If you have something to say, don't smash the things in our store!"
"Hey, what should happen to me! It just so happens that our guest room is tight, and if the guest officer deliberately gives up one, I can't thank you enough!"
"It's none of your business!" she said angrily, and after she finished speaking, she felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly covered her mouth, her voice was a little choked, and it sounded as if she had just cried. This voice also moved the idiot, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at the vaguely visible figure outside the door, thinking that her strong man was showing a little weakness at the moment.
Afraid that the idiot would misunderstand, she immediately said hurriedly but squarely: "Go out with me tonight and buy you a new sword, and I won't care about you until the day of the sword battle!" After speaking, she only saw the smile of the shopkeeper getting stronger. Weakness and delusion had strength again, she gritted her teeth and blushed and wanted to leave, even though the corridor was very spacious, she still deliberately approached the shopkeeper when she went downstairs and pushed him hard, and the young shopkeeper rolled down the stairs, and the laughter turned into screams and then moans, and it was quiet for a while.
......
A figure, alone climbing a mountain that towers into the sky independently.
At first glance, he was dressed in bright purple, with a delicate face, and his eyes were large and clear, as if he was not very old. But when he looked closely, he found that his hair was dry and curly, mixed with a few silver threads, and his hands were as thin as dead wood, and his nails were thick and muddy, and the tender flesh underneath could not be seen.
He seemed to be very weak, and with each next lift, it was slower and harder than the previous step, and the lifted foot shook more violently. But he was strangely obsessed with his breath, and he was as steady as he was when he walked on flat ground. After walking like this for a long time, he reached his destination, a place where there was no way forward to climb, and where the path was abruptly interrupted, a stone wall that seemed to be a step of stairs, melted into the way of the mountain, but separated it. It's not as tall as a tree next to it, but it gives people a pressure to retreat. This should come from the three powerful words carved on the stone wall - "crossing the limit peak"
"It's you, Purple Shirt. The sound came from the stone wall first, as real as passing by, but it was ethereal and difficult to grasp, as if it was a lawless shuttle between the mountains and forests, and like flowing water down the mountain road. There was no contempt in the speaker's tone, but it was easy to evoke some "unattainable" impressions because of the stone wall.
The man in purple did not speak, he knew that he had been discovered when he came, so the intention must have been known. Sure enough, the voice said, "You're leaving." ”
The man in purple said: "A few days ago, the black-clothed trustee sent a letter to the student, and the student knew that the master had returned safely. ”
"Well, it should be your actions that are inappropriate...... the voice was a little puzzled, and then said calmly: "That's it! Your friendship between master and servant is naturally something I can't speculate about." It's not up to me to decide where you want to stay, and your actions are all in my eyes around this Crossing Peak. You, you didn't need to climb the mountain to find me. ”
"That's the student's courtesy......," he said, turning and walking down the hill, and before the figure disappeared at the bend in the path, the voice of another man on the stone wall began to speak to the man before him, talking about the climber, but not afraid to let him hear.
"You're a strange student. The voice was young and steady, as if he had seen many things but did not pay attention to himself, "I speak very little, and I don't say a word to you from beginning to end." ”
"He knows what to say to whom. This sentence is like an elder's instruction to the younger generation, telling the young man that he is not aware of the shortcomings of flexibility.
"But between him and you, the purpose is already clear. And between you and me, I still don't know. There was a strange change in tone, faintly showing a change in the speaker's expression, "Can you take advantage of the topic here to explain to me the purpose of your captive of me?"
After a long time of no response, the young voice asked again, "Can I decide whether I want to go or stay?"
Unexpectedly, the response was unusually decisive, "Of course! But before that, I want you to kill someone for me!"
"Huh, what the hell are you up to?" the young voice remained steady.
"It's nothing, I just want to see what you're capable of. ”
"I've been here for two months, just as a guest who can't walk around at will, if you want to see my martial arts, just put it forward, see if your proud man who is famous all over the world will not bully me such a descendant. ”
The arrogant man quickly and resolutely denied: "No! The lack of martial arts you have mastered attracts me, and you must use that martial arts to kill people!"
"Alas!" the calmness of the young voice finally revealed something else, "do you know that I have not killed anyone in the more than ten years since I came to this world?"
"I don't know," replied the proud man, "I don't know how long you'll have to stay at the Crossing Peak." ”
"Lou Wuyi. The young voice said word by word, "You old bastard," and the abusive words were spoken slowly, without anger mixed with the vulgar words in the words, which were most likely to make people angry without listening to his next words.
"Huh, you're only halfway there. The proud man said lightly, as if he was not to blame.
"People and martial arts are all on this mountain, I only owe you to give me a knife that can be used. ”
The proud man laughed, "Knives! ”
The young man replied while soothing the angry cat in his arms: "Ha!
