Chapter 4: Hate (9)
One
The small courtyard where the Han family was located was in a tense atmosphere, and from morning to afternoon, there was still no news from Han Wen and the little ghosts, which made their family members and companions anxious.
Liu Changnan blamed himself deeply for this, "Blame me, if I hadn't been drunk last night, I would have found out that they were missing earlier, and my whereabouts would not be unknown now." ”
Liu Mo asked: "We all drank too much, it's not your fault, it's our negligence, who knew that she was playing a missing play again." ”
"I don't think my sister is missing. ”
The one who said this was the missing person, Hanwen's sister.
The room full of people looked at him, waiting for her high opinion, and she said: "According to my sister's habit, she only likes to leave alone without saying a word, when to pull someone else." Besides, why did she pull Min Yu and Zhu Yu, there is nothing fun on the top of the mountain, it is not a spring outing with us behind our backs. ”
"It's also possible that the fishing went. He teased, but when he saw that everyone looked at him strangely with unfriendly eyes, he immediately shut up and shrugged his shoulders.
Liu Changnan said: "The top priority is to find them, the day after tomorrow is the Yuntai Mountain conference, according to the original plan, we are going to participate in this conference before going down the mountain, now it seems that we have to delay." ”
Duan Yunzhen, an "outsider" squatting in a corner, suddenly heard her surprised voice, "You guys are going down the mountain so quickly?!" Her somewhat high-pitched voice almost pierced everyone's eardrums.
Liu Mowen covered his ears tightly, Princess Dali's unique loud voice echoed in his head, glared at Xiaoxue angrily, and blamed: "Didn't you send this woman out earlier?
Xiaoxue is in a dilemma, and it is worth a wry smile.
Duan Yunzhen felt humiliated and scorned, and ran to Liu Mowen angrily, shouting: "Dare to be rude to this princess, don't die!"
Xiaoxue had the heart to persuade but was rude to confront the crazy woman, and turned her head away with a headache, not wanting to face the picture of the simple princess being bullied.
"Oh my God, what did you eat to grow up?Did you want people to think I did you?" Liu Mo asked when he was in a bad mood, he would talk crazy, and even act crazy.
Liu Changnan almost choked to death with saliva, Xiao Xue buried her head directly in her palm when she spoke; as for the others, they all looked at her in disbelief, deeply suspecting that it was a woman who said such unbearable foul language! Duan Yunzhen was even more thunderous, opening her mouth wide, those accusations, questions, and anger disappeared in an instant, and all that was left was shock and incredulity.
will plagiarize a brutal woman, but a brutal and deviant woman is really rare in the world.
Liu Changnan coughed twice, trying to change the topic and get back to the topic, "At present, it is impossible for Wenwen and them to disappear for no reason, it is better for us to disperse first, and everyone go back and wait for the reply of the Yuntai Immortal Sect." ”
"What can these immortal cultivators have to reply, let's ask them to help find someone in the morning, and in less than an hour, the people on the mountain thought that we broke into the library last night. It's pure nonsense, this is slander, if it had been before, the old lady would have sued them for ruining their family and ruining their reputation. Liu Mowen was furious, and scolded unabashedly.
"......." Liu Changnan covered his face with his hands, and like Xiaoxue, he didn't want to speak.
As the outsiders walked away, the sky was covered with crimson clouds, the lights were lit up gradually, and the cries of night crows echoed in the air.
Xiaoxue looked at Xie Lanzong, who was in front of the door and refused to go back, and asked puzzledly, "Why don't you leave yet?"
Xie Lanzong raised his eyebrows and said softly, "There is something that I have been hesitating to tell you. ”
"If it's about my sister, you should be honest as soon as possible. "In a bad mood, Xiaoxue feels tired even talking.
"I'm not a god, how can I know the trace of the eldest lady in your family. I'm talking about something else. ”
"You say, don't play dumb riddles. ”
"Did your family and the Long clan get the cloud axis from elsewhere? ”
"How do you know?" Hearing this, Liu Changnan, who was sitting on the side, interjected and came in, "Xiaoxue, did you tell him?"
"No, I don't. Xiaoxue was confused about this.
Xie Lanzong said: "It's my guess, maybe you and the Long Clan don't know yet, the twelve players who went up the mountain, except for us and Luo Shiqiu, everyone else has secretly formed an alliance." Knowing Liang Zonghong of Hongxia Palace, she had many private contacts with the people of Mount Emei a month ago, and it is estimated that a consensus has been reached. There is also the biggest trouble for your family, the Blue Wolf Gate of the Feng family, as soon as you go up the mountain, you have attracted a lot of people, according to my investigation, there are already three families who want to plan to form an alliance with the Feng family. ”
Xiaoxue was confused, "What's with what? Isn't going up the mountain just a martial arts contest and fighting, and what kind of gang is formed." ”
"They're plotting. Liu Changnan understood.
Liu Mo asked at this time, the second monk like Xiaoxue was confused, stretched out his head and asked, "What is the plot?"
Liu Changnan's eyes fell on Xie Lanzong's body, and they followed closely, looking at him with blank eyes, their faces full of curiosity and confusion.
Xie Lanzong was frank and generous, and said truthfully: "Three months ago, when I hadn't gone up the mountain, I couldn't make up my mind whether to come or not. It's not that I'm worried that running around will make Master and his old man angry, it's just that this Yuntai Mountain is too unpredictable. You don't know where our cloud axis came to be, do you? Almost at the same time, everyone who received the cloud axis a few months ago received a letter. ”
"Letter?" several members of the Han family were stunned.
Xie Lanzong nodded, "Yes, a letter sandwiched in the cloud axis." There are a lot of things written in it, except for the origin of the creation of the Yuntai Immortal Sect, the most interesting thing is the next few sentences - 'The goddess outside the sky, the treasure of all things, can get the world, the source of the Tao, the foundation of the law, and the supporters can support the present and the ancient'. It's weird, in layman's terms, there is a treasure hidden on this Yuntai Mountain, and those who get it can dominate the world and enjoy everything. It's a very tempting baby, and it's much more interesting than becoming an immortal and making a few requests. ”
The people present were shocked and stunned for a long time.
Xiaoxue twitched her lips and raised her head to stare at him, "Are you telling a story?"
"Do I need to pick a time like this to tell a story to fool you?"
"But it's too fake. ”
"He's not lying. Among the people, only Liu Changnan believed him, "I have heard some relevant statements about the goddess. ”
Xie Lanzong narrowed his eyes slightly, and the others were too curious to listen to the story.
"Hundreds of years ago, when the world was in turmoil, there was a woman who appeared on the stage of history as a goddess, she did not directly participate in the war, but it was said that she had a treasure on her body, which everyone frantically fought for. It's just that I don't know why, one day she suddenly disappeared, and the treasure was gone, and then a few years later, there were rumors that a man next to her crossed Yuntai Mountain after she disappeared, but left quickly. I have investigated the library of the Yuntai Immortal Sect, the origin of the Yuntai Immortal Sect is very mysterious, it was originally used as a temple dedicated to the fox fairy, and then there was an immortal law and other things before it became the Immortal Sect, which is missing a link, the secret magic of the Immortal Sect cannot appear out of thin air, and the time is not right, according to the documents, all this originated from the person who originally established the Fox Immortal Temple, he had a treasure in his hand, known as the Book of Heaven in the legend. ”
After Liu Changnan finished speaking, Xie Lanzong hurriedly said: "We really don't know this, what is written on that letter is how the Yuntai Immortal Sect has been passed down from generation to generation, and there is no mention of the Book of Heaven." ”
"No, actually. Liu Changnan analyzed, "'The goddess outside the sky, the treasure of all things', the treasure of the goddess is the book of heaven." ”
Liu Mo asked, "How do you know so much?"
Liu Changnan replied: "There is a golden house in the book, you usually either play or have fun, how can you know if you don't read." ”
Liu Mo asked disdainfully: "Nerd." ”
Liu Changnan was speechless, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Half of the story I told just now came from the book, and the half of the book of heaven was told to him by Wenwen. Wenwen said it well, my sister is already suspicious, some things should be cautious, you can't be careless, otherwise it will not be easy to fool the past.
"Having said that, you people didn't go up the mountain for the 'fifty-year election', but because of this treasure?" Xiao Xue took a moment to figure out the cause and effect, and asked Xie Lanzong: "You are also for the treasure?"
Xie Lanzong waved his hand, "No, I'm not interested in treasures, I'm here to know what secrets the Yuntai Immortal Sect is buried, and where have all the contestants who participated in the 'Fifty Years Selection' before." As for the treasure, who knows if it's real or not. ”
"But there are other sects in the Blue Wolf Gate, Hongxia Palace, Emei Mountain, don't they form an alliance to believe in the existence of treasures?" Liu Changnan said nonchalantly. "I now understand why Master Xie said that our cloud axis came from somewhere else. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"The cloud axis of our Han family and the Long family was not personally delivered by Yuntai Mountain, the Long family got it from a certain senior in the previous session, and our family ..... Well, only Wenwen knows how to get here. We didn't receive the letter, so naturally we didn't know what was on the mountain, and as for the alliance, it was all a private affair, and no one could find out if it didn't surface. ”
"Actually, I was suspicious of you at first, after all, the two of you are very close, and besides me, everyone else thinks that you have formed an alliance. ”
"Then you're thinking too much. ”
"Hey, the competition was originally a disguise, everyone just played a few games casually to make a show, but none of us thought that your family and the Long clan were so serious about martial arts, and we had to show our real skills. ”
"I'm so sorry. Liu Changnan apologized insincerely, Xie Lanzong looked at him faintly, and snorted twice with his nose to show disapproval.
"I still have a question, I want to ask Master Xie, do you have time to help?" Liu Changnan maintained a polite and polite attitude, showing the elegance of Fengyi in every word and action, so that people can't refuse, and they can't refuse. Even if Master Xie, who is a man, sees such an elegant and gentle son, he will let down his guard at the first time and treat him sincerely, so he ...... Master Xie had a wonderful impression of him and knew everything about it.......
"If you have any questions, I've been here all the time, and I'm not leaving. ”
"The letter I received a few days ago exposing the misdeeds of the Yuntai Immortal Sect, is it true?"
"I guess so. ”
"Why didn't anyone find out? ”
"There are many people in the rivers and lakes who play tricks, and everyone wants to watch from the wall and enjoy their success. ”
"Understood, whoever wants to be impatient will make the first person in the Yuntai Immortal Sect to pay special attention, shoot the first bird, everyone is a smart person, think of one place. ”
"Still have questions?"
"It's gone. ”
“...... Are you kidding me?" Xie Lanzong's dizzy brain came back to his senses, and his face suddenly darkened. He actually fell for a man's inducement! What a man! When did he become mentally weak, or was he still a man! No...... The surname Liu is deliberate.
"You misunderstood me, I guessed this, but if I don't ask someone who knows the truth, I'll be cranky for days. ”
Liu Changnan smiled very gently, not complacent, peaceful and indifferent as always, the only difference was that the smile was brighter than ever.
Xie Lanzong was speechless. I really can't shout out in public that others have used inducement techniques on me, and is that an inducement technique? I am afraid that I have no heart to confide in the city for a while, and I don't blame others, but I can only blame myself.
"Look, Master Xie figured it out, I didn't play tricks on you. Liu Changnan squinted, and a shadow under his thick black eyelashes hid the shining light in a certain eye.
Two
The forest where the crows crow, the heavy dew moistens the grass, and the cool breeze rubs the palms of the leaves, blowing out incongruous notes.
Under such a gloomy night, the Mochizuki Inn at the foot of the mountain is as bright as day. In the sparsely populated area, there are no customers visiting during the day, and no one cares about it at night. It's just that the inn's junior knows that tonight is unusual, because a regular customer has come to the inn.
Waved off the waiter, and there were only two people sitting opposite each other in the hall on the first floor, one of whom was the innkeeper.
"It's been a while, and you'll miss my wine. The boss personally poured a glass of warm wine for the person opposite, "Come and try it, the newly brewed pine flower wine, the pine leaves in early spring, the cold winter cellar, you came just right, there is still a pot left." ”
"There is good wine in the world, and you are drunk in two forgetfulness. Jinyun took a sip and praised it.
"If you like, there's still half a pot left, you can take it back. ”
"How can this be?"
"Why not? I didn't let you drink alone, so I took it up the mountain to taste the girl doll of the Han family, I heard that she is also a good wine connoisseur. ”
"You're very nice to her, it's the first time I've seen you give something away in so many years. ”
"The cloud axis has been given to her, what is the wine. ”
"It's a pity that your kindness was wasted, I'm afraid she won't be able to drink it. ”
Hearing this, the elderly boss asked in surprise, "What's wrong with her?"
Jinyun replied: "It's missing." ”
The smile on the corner of the boss's mouth froze, and he said for a long time: "Is it because of me?"
"This ...... I don't know. Jinyun couldn't help but think of what the Han family had done in the past three months, it was difficult to determine which problem Han Wen's disappearance was due to, or possibly, this was her trick to get out of trouble?
The boss sighed: "It's hard for her, after all, the Yuntai Immortal Sect has big roots and deep roots, and it is difficult to find someone." ”
"Don't worry about my senior sister's business, she promised you, so naturally she kept her promise and found my senior sister. ”
"Well, if you believe her, I will believe her. ”
"Don't talk about that, there are two things you should pay attention to. ”
“......”
"The day after tomorrow is the conference, you have been preparing for fifty years, I know that you still have contact with them secretly, since things have come to this point, there is nothing to hide. The day of the conference is our only chance, you can take them up the mountain, I have no objection, but after finding the senior sister, no matter what happens, you just need to go down the mountain as soon as possible, and I will arrange the rest of the things. ”
"Looks like you're prepared. ”
"You have your helper, I have my plan. As long as that person doesn't break the contract, it's ..... Half of it. ”
"You hired someone to deal with Kun Yuan?"
"yes, a great character. ”
"Are you sure?"
"I believe him, and that's enough. ”
Three
The boss poured wine again and saluted him, "Yuntai Mountain can teach a disciple like you who is sensible and distinguishes between right and wrong, which is considered a matter of kindness, and you and we should drink this cup of wine." ”
Jinyun was not modest, and took the glass of wine, "Thank you for your praise, it's just that in addition to me on the mountain, the fourth senior brother is also a temperamental, but he has been deceived for too long, and everyone doesn't know." ”
Recalling the past, full of sadness and a thousand words that are difficult to describe, the boss's eyes are slightly red and moist, and he drinks a cup of himself. "I often think about what happened back then, if I hadn't been so sharp in the competition, wouldn't Kun Yuan have the idea of accepting me as an apprentice, wouldn't I have met her..... In this way, the pain of this half life is gone?"
"You're drunk. Jinyun lifted his eyes and stared at him, his tone lowered and slowed down, and he comforted the sad person unnaturally. "You and Senior Sister are destined to meet, this is fate, not your fault. ”
But now her life and death are uncertain, and she does not know where and how she is suffering. Isn't this my fault? Your master is right, I lured her and me down the mountain, and I affected Brother Zhuang and Brother Ye. Fifty years of waiting, this kind of days spent in torment, every day like poison eroding the internal organs, I am still so painful, she alone is more bitter than me. ”
"......." Jinyun was silent, looking at him and listening to his heartfelt words that had been suppressed for a long time.
"I hate it so much, I hate that I can't do anything about it, I can't take her down the mountain and fulfill her wish, I hate Kun Yuan for being cold-blooded and ruthless, cruelly separating us. I'm even more like the Yuntai Immortal Sect, and I hate all of this...... Hate, full of people digging out and digging dry, only cold scum is left, piercing me all the time. My hatred is not fire, it is the coals under the fire, only by holding it in my hands can it burn people's hearts, and now my heart is full of such coals...... I have been waiting here for fifty years, watching the flowers bloom and fall, listening to the sound of the wind and rain, every moment of every day, looking at the top of the mountain, thinking that if she comes down, how can I take her away and protect her?"
Jinyun's face was covered with fog and frost, his expression was almost invisible, and his breathing was so low that he couldn't feel it, as if he was a lifeless iceman at this moment.
After the boss finished talking, his mind wandered on the border of sadness, and Fang Cai's words were hatred or resentment, which had turned into a cold wind and dissipated into the air. He was different from Jinyun, his face was full of sadness, his eyebrows were sad and thick, his eyes were full of tears, and finally two lines of tears slipped down his old cheeks and onto his clothes. Spit out his heart, he gradually controlled his emotions, revealing a very shallow and faint smile, "Let you see you laugh, I haven't been in front of people for a long time...... It's out of control. ”
Jinyun closed his eyes and exhaled a heavy breath, "No, you can show your true feelings in front of me, which means that you believe in me, I am very pleased." ”
"I'm also glad to have known you in my lifetime. The boss smiled with tears in his eyes.
