12. The Assassin and the Martial Arts Alliance's Son, his Son (6)
I went southwest along the river, and after arriving at the weak water, I changed to a carriage, and it took about half a month before I arrived in Yindu. To the west of Yindu is the desert, and the map shows that the ancient tomb is there.
When he got off the car, except for Jiang Lan and Hongyi, who served him, everyone was startled - I saw that his face was as white as jade, as if carved out of jade, and there was no trace of fireworks on his body, and his hands and fingers were slender, transparent and pale, and the little cinnabar in the palm of his palm seemed to seep out, which was weird and amazing.
Hongyi said cautiously: "Door master, the inn has arrived." โ
The door master was unmoved, only quietly lowered his eyes and looked at the palm of his hand, Hongyi thought about it, and added softly: "Auntie is already waiting inside." โ
The door master raised his head suddenly, and his jade-like face revealed a trace of expectation and panic, and the red clothes felt a pain in his heart, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at him again.
There are some things that cannot be said and do not need to be said. From the moment she met him, she had already understood that she couldn't help herself, and it was never as simple as talking.
There was a gust of wind in front of him, and there was no one standing in the place where the door master was standing, and the red clothes were blocking the door, and he said with a faint face: "Please wait a while, you can't go in now." โ
Yang Yu's face was indifferent, and he only looked at Su Yi, while Su Yi stood in place, thoughtful.
Qingfeng asked Jiang Lan in a low voice, "Who is my aunt?" Why did your master react so much? โ
"I don't know......" Jiang Lan said in a low voice, "The only people who have seen my aunt are the door master and the sister in red, but I heard that ...... I've just heard that aunt has the same face as we do now. โ
"You're saying that you want each of you to look like that 'aunt'?"
"Yes."
Jing'er has been listening with her ears pricked up, and she can't help but "tsk" when she hears this. She looked at the red clothes quietly, only to see the wind moving the clothes, the green silk flying, and in a trance, the solemn expression of the woman in Hunan seemed to reveal a little vicissitudes and a little tiredness. She fell on the son again, and the man in white looked indifferent, a little gentle, and a little distant. She suddenly felt a little hopeless.
After less than a stick of incense, the door owner walked out again. His face was expressionless, no matter how anyone else looked, they couldn't see what had just happened, but Jing'er keenly felt that he was different, and seemed to have given up the last bit of something, which was his last connection with this world. Between the figures walking in the wind, there is a touch of loneliness. Her heart jumped, and she secretly looked at the red clothes, and sure enough, she saw a touch of despair between the red clothes' lowered eyebrows.
Qingfeng was still very curious to see what the "aunt" looked like, but the owner of the door had already gotten into the car and ordered to continue on the road. Qingfeng waved his horsewhip, obviously he had already traveled far, but he seemed to be blessed to his soul, and he suddenly glanced back. But I saw a woman standing in front of the inn, hunting in red, like a fire ignited, the flying dust blurred her facial features, but the breeze could still feel that it should be a peerless woman. Even if the door master makes all the people around him have the same face as her, it is still not as graceful as her.
He suddenly understood why this master always liked to wear red.
According to the map, they arrived at a sand mountain pass that night, and the owner of the gate suddenly ordered the carriage to stop. He got out of the carriage, and without hesitating his clothes, he pulled off his robe and sat down on the floor. Yang Yu and Su Yi glanced at each other, and also learned from him to sit on the ground.
The door owner took out a roll of parchment from his sleeve, which was the map that Su Yi asked Yang Yu to change secretly. He spread the map on the ground and showed them both, "If we hadn't been on a business trip, we would have been to the tomb tomorrow afternoon." At that time, I will only need to go in, and the two of us will stay outside. โ
Su Yi's eyebrows frowned slightly, and the door master said lightly: "Don't worry, the snow master will destroy that thing in the future." As he spoke, a strange smile appeared on his face, "Strange magic harms people, but three hundred years is not enough to calm the wind and rain." โ
Su Yi thought for a while and said, "If people's hearts are strong, how can the wind and rain shake them?" It's a pity that the temptation is too great, and the most unbearable bewitchment in this world is the human heart. โ
"The Snow Boy is right, how many people in this world are as determined as Childe?!" The wind was cold at night, blowing sand and gravel in the desert, and making a distant sound in the air, like praise music falling from the sky, and everyone's mood was very strangely calm. The door master stared at the map for a long time, and suddenly asked calmly, "Can you ask Childe another question at the end?" โ
"Door master, please speak."
"How did Childe know about the map and the ancient tomb? How much do you know? โ
Su Yi was silent for a moment, as if sorting out his words, and then said slowly: "Three years ago, I went to Qingyun Villa with Su Ye as a guest, and accidentally broke into the dungeon of the villa and met a person inside.
"The man was trapped in the water prison, covered in scars, and the skin on his face looked like it had been burned and blackened. His nose was cut, and there was no one to treat his wounds, so he gave birth to a lot of maggots. When I saw him, I was shocked on the spot, Qingyun Villa is the right way in the martial arts, but I didn't expect that there would be such a vicious way to deal with the enemy. But even so, I only thought that this was a private matter of Qingyun Villa, and it was not appropriate to ask, so I endured the nausea and was about to leave. But at the last moment, the man woke up and called out to me. โ
"I think Liu Ziming's biggest mistake is that he still has that person's tongue, but if he wants to ask one thing from that person's mouth, he can only keep his tongue. But the man told me all the things that he would not tell him. Su Yi thought about it for a moment, probably thinking of the scene at that time, his face became whiter, and his eyes became darker, but his voice was very calm, "Fifteen years ago, there was the largest Demon Sect Tomb Sect in Wulin, they called themselves tomb keepers, and they did all kinds of evil and evil in the Central Plains. Later, several famous and decent factions decided to jointly crusade against the Tomb Sect, so they established the Wulin League. At that time, among the younger generation, Su Ye was chivalrous and righteous, and Liu Ziming was strong in martial arts, and the two were the most promising people to compete for the leader of the alliance. Su Ye was friendly with Liu Ziming and didn't want to have a dislike, so he followed the way of a gentleman and wanted to back down, but he didn't want to be admired by the people in the martial arts and was elected as the leader of the martial arts alliance. Liu Ziming is narrow-minded and holds a grudge against Su Ye, although the two are still known as friends on the surface, but Qingyun Villa has secretly repeatedly opposed the martial arts alliance, which has become a tacit thing in the martial arts. โ
"After Su Ye became the leader of the martial arts alliance, he led the people in the martial arts to successfully eradicate the Demon Sect Tomb Sect, he was merciful by nature, and let all the tomb keepers have a way out, but he didn't want Liu Ziming to secretly arrest all these tomb guards into Qingyun Villa, locked them in the dungeon, and used torture to force them to tell the specific location of the ancient tomb. Countless tomb keepers were tortured and killed, and then finally someone couldn't stand it anymore and explained where the tomb map was, but Liu Ziming didn't believe it, and after obtaining the map, he still killed everyone else, leaving only the tomb keeper to prevent fraud. โ
Liu Ziming went to find the tomb according to the map, but could not find the entrance, and returned without a problem, he suspected that the map was fake, so he forced the tomb keeper, but the tomb keeper had already lost all his relatives and friends and had no scruples, and always kept his mouth shut, Liu Ziming had no choice but to torture him every day, and the waste man I saw that day was the tomb keeper after being tortured. The grave keeper knew that he would die soon, and after asking me to swear a poisonous oath to stop Liu Ziming, he revealed the secret of the map. Since then, I have started to lay out, first secretly replacing Liu Wuyan and Li Dai Taozhuang, and then going around to find out where Liu Ziming hid the map. A year ago, I found out that he had colluded with the Demon Sect people outside the gate, and the map had been hidden on the side of the Demon Sect people, asking them to crack the secret of the map, and I thought that the Demon Sect people would always come back and forth to find him, so I sent people to keep an eye on both sides, but there has been no action in the past two years. Not long ago, Liu Ziming and Liu Zichang's brother suddenly left Qingyun Villa to go to Fenling, and I immediately set off to go to Fenling in the name of participating in the Hanging Pot Villa competition to recruit relatives, but I didn't expect to really find the map. โ
The door master was slightly puzzled: "What secret?" Who is Liu Wuyan? โ
"Jing'er, come here," Su Yi turned his head and beckoned to Jing'er, who was sitting with Qingfeng not far away, Jing'er walked over as she said, and Su Yi said, "Take the mask away." โ
Jing'er was stunned for a moment, but she only hesitated for a moment, and then very meekly tore off a layer of โกโก from her face. As long as it was his order, she never asked why, just did it.
Under the mask, there is a completely different face from before, if the previous Jing'er is just delicate, this face can be regarded as flamboyant and beautiful. The door master looked at it for a moment, and suddenly slapped his palm and laughed: "Bright and generous, it really looks like my grave keeper!" โ
"The master of the door has already guessed it," Su Yi smiled lightly, and his every move was calm and calm, "Jing'er is afraid that she is one of the few grave guards in the world." When Liu Ziming's brother caught the tomb guard, Jing'er was still a child under three years old, so Liu Ziming took her back to the villa, in case there was still a place to use her in the future. Declared to the public that she was his orphan daughter who was exiled and raised her as an adult. It's a pity that although the grace of nurturing is there, there is no love and righteousness. โ
Jing'er lowered her head, biting her lip and not speaking, obviously already knowing these things.
Su Yi glanced at her a little unbearably, but still continued: "The secret that the tomb keeper told me is that although you can find the location of the ancient tomb according to the map, if you want to open the gate of the ancient tomb, you need the blood of the tomb keeper's descendants. I took Jing'er with me to prepare for that moment, but now that you are here, I am afraid I won't need her. โ
Although she knew that Su Yibei had a purpose in taking herself with her, listening to him say it in person at this moment, Jing'er still felt a sharp pain in her heart. Her face was pale and her eyes were a little hollow.
"I can't imagine that my grave keeper still has descendants alive," the door master glanced at Jing'er with relief, and then asked, "What about the grave keeper who was locked up in the dungeon of Qingyun Villa?" Where is he now? โ
Su Yi was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "After he told me everything, he asked me to kill him and give him a relief." โ
The doorkeeper's face turned pale, and he was stunned for a long time before he pulled out a weak pale smile. He looked up at the sand mountain not far away, the ancient tomb was there, it was supposed to be the place where the tomb keeper rested, but now, because of the greed of some people, countless fresh lives were buried alive. His friends, his loved ones, all his qiฤ, were destroyed in a split second.
The catastrophe fifteen years ago was a nightmare that he could never shake off in his midnight dreams.
"Thankfully, fortunately, this qiฤ is almost over......," he muttered.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and tomorrow should be a good day.
