Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Heart Knot
Ming Province Valley.
When Su Run came to Xiao Luo's residence as promised, Xiao Luo was peeling peanuts one by one in front of the table in the small courtyard.
Su Run walked over and sat down opposite Xiao Luo, and when he looked down, he saw a wine glass in front of him, and there were two small wine jars on the table.
Su Run pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Xiao Luo saw his friend come over and sit down opposite, sighed and stretched out his hand to uncover the mud seal of one of the wine jars, and poured Su Run a glass of wine. After pouring, Xiao Luo glanced at Su Run and asked:
"Do you want me to change it for a big bowl for you?"
When Su Run heard this, he had a rare reaction and glanced up at Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo didn't wait until he was used to talking about white eyes and disgust, he couldn't help but sigh again, and said softly while putting down the wine jar in his hand:
"What are your plans in this situation?"
Su Run pinched the wine glass that Xiao Luocai had poured for himself, and after a pause, he raised his head and drank it all.
Su Run understood that Xiao Luo was referring to Zhou Yan's matter.
Xue Yan went to talk to Zhou Yan before leaving the Ming Province Valley alone, and after she left, Zhou Yan came out of her residence and arranged the rules like everyone else, and after going to the marrow washing pool, she buried her head in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the practice ground and the retreat back mountain grottoes every day.
The marrow washing pool also found some patterns in everyone's slow exploration and habits. In fact, after all, the effect of washing the marrow pool is not as good as the chaotic aura in the real Nine Wells Secret Land, and for the monks, each major rank is only used once, if the cultivation is not promoted, no matter how many times you go, there will be no more effect of washing the marrow. The gas refining period is once, the foundation building period is once, and the Jindan period can only be used once. Therefore, the people who have received the effect of washing the marrow in the marrow pool twice in the valley are just a few people who have broken through the golden pill during this time.
Although there was a little regret, everyone quickly corrected their mentality. It is extremely rare to have this marrow washing pool, and the Kyushu Continent may be the first opportunity to benefit, so you should be content.
Zhou Yan's injuries are not yet complete, there are a lot of dark diseases, and the time to wash the marrow pool is longer than that of others, in addition to washing the marrow, it also unexpectedly has some healing effect. It is also for this reason that after coming out of the marrow washing pool, Zhou Yan ran to the back mountain retreat almost without stopping, and after the retreat, he plunged into the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to try to study the spell talisman with stronger attack power.
The Zhou family is a poison maker, or a very clever poison maker, compared to those poison makers who can't even make poisons that can deal with monks of the same rank, the Zhou family is so clever that it can be effective even for monks who are higher than the poison maker himself. However, the Zhou family is low-key and unassuming, in order to cover up this difference, the children of the family will also practice other techniques to defend themselves, but they are not proficient, so in the eyes of many people, the strength of the Zhou family is a little weak.
The same goes for Zhou Yan. She is very rich in poison arts, and she is praised by her grandfather for her achievements in the future, although Zhou Yan is still not very old, but the various poison classics inherited by the Zhou family, even if she is too advanced and difficult, she still doesn't understand, but she has already memorized them all and engraved them in her mind, and often ponders them herself. Therefore, when the whole family saw that she was willing to study poison herself, they were happy to let go of her lazy attitude of scribbling and drying nets in other magic attack methods.
Zhou Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with this before, until he returned to Qiaozhou again, everything changed.
The Zhou family is gone, and her relatives who are like jewels have all died tragically, and she can't even get peace after death, but when she faces those executioners, she has no ability to crush the other party's bones and ashes to avenge her relatives.
Today's Zhou Yan, while still studying the poison techniques inherited by the Zhou family, is desperately trying his best to improve his cultivation and strength. I just want to be able to contribute to the defeat of the Feng family in the future, and at the same time, I have the ability to slash the head of the enemy family.
And now Zhou Yan ......
has been able to face Li Yanran and Li Yanning sisters calmly, and has gradually communicated with everyone in the valley, but ......
has been avoiding Su Run, intentionally or unintentionally.
Su Run is a disciple of the Great Elder of the Demon Palace, a descendant of the Qiaozhou Demon Palace, and Ling Xia's situation is completely different, it is impossible for him to betray the Demon Palace and join the Ming Province Valley, so he is the only guest who temporarily resides in the Ming Province Valley who is not a member of the Ming Province Valley.
Su Run was very careful to avoid suspicion, even though he was a close friend of the two valley masters of the Ming Province Valley, he had always been careful and never set foot in such important places as the marrow washing pool in the Ming Province Valley or the retreat grotto in the back mountain. However, he still stayed not far from Zhou Yan. She went to the Scripture Pavilion to look for the texts, and he stood outside the Scripture Pavilion, and she went to retreat in the back mountain, and he walked on the way to the retreat grotto. It's just that......
Zhou Yan didn't say a word to Su Run again.
When they were in Su Town, the one Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan saw for the first time rushed towards Su Run with a bright smile, regardless of Su Run's cold face, he held his arm and pulled him to the girl who was walking around the street, like a dream.
What Xiao Luo thought of, Su Run naturally thought of, and also thought of it.
In front of the table, Su Run squeezed the wine glass in his hand, reached out to take the wine jar on the side, and poured himself another glass.
Xiao Luo looked across the table and sighed again.
has known him for so long, and in his impression, Su Run has always been a little low-key, calm and self-controlled. Because Xiao Luo's alcohol consumption is very poor, when the two of them traveled together in the past, they rarely touched wine, and occasionally encountered a special drink from a certain place, Xiao Luo didn't drink it, and Su Run only tasted two sips, just satisfied his curiosity, and he was very restrained.
looked at Su Run on the opposite side one cup after another, and soon abandoned the wine glass and drank it directly on the wine jar......
It was the first time Xiao Luo had seen Su Run like this.
"She doesn't blame you. Xiao Luo whispered, looked at Su Run, who suddenly stopped his movements because of his words, and sighed.
Su Run raised his head: "Really?"
Xiao Luo closed his eyes, and the emotions that surged inexplicably in his heart rolled over, and he was quickly pressed back: "She blames herself, and you ...... More but unfacing. ”
“...... Why?"
"About...... I feel that I am a sinner who caused the destruction of the whole race, and I no longer deserve to live as freely as before, nor do I deserve to have the happiness and happiness that ordinary people can have. ”
When Xiao Luo said these words, there was a slight tremor in his voice.
He was in Zhou Yan, and also in another person. He thinks of this, and it comes from another person.
When Cheongju was hiding to raise support, the young man surnamed Rong who appeared in his dream.
How similar is his situation to Zhou Yan? He inadvertently became the fuse for the collapse of his family, and he saw the tragic situation of his own relatives being killed, and he could not shake the powerful enemy. That kind of grief and indignation, that kind of despair, that kind of remorse, layer by layer, pressed on my heart one by one. From then on, the rest of his life was only for revenge, only for the family who died tragically, and there was no more himself.
It's been a long time since that dream, and once he mentioned it, he can still empathize with the mood of the man surnamed Rong in the dream.
He even vaguely felt that at the beginning, the person who spared his life for revenge was intending, and after the revenge was avenged, he would also apologize with death.
Even if his "sin" was brought on by himself.
Su Run's attention was on the meaning of Xiao Luo's words, but he didn't notice the subtle difference in Xiao Luo's voice. He pinched the wine jar that was already half empty, and he didn't want to crush the wine jar, and the broken porcelain pieces wrapped in the wine were scattered all over the table, but the two people in front of the table didn't care at this time.
Su Run's voice was a little eager: "That's none of her business! We all know it...... That's just an excuse for them to deal with the Zhou family! Even if they don't ...... her."
"Yes. Xiao Luo nodded, looking at Su Run very calmly: "We all know it, and Zhou Yan also knows it, but this doesn't mean that she can let herself go." ”
Su Run lowered his head: "...... She should blame me. ”
"Huh?"
"Her grandfather saw me before he took her away. I took her to leave Zhou's house and leave Qiaozhou, and he acquiesced. There was still a piece of porcelain from the broken wine jar left in Su Run's palm, which was gradually crushed as he slowly tightened his palm: "At that time, I vaguely felt a little strange, although the old man was not very polite to me at that time, and he was quite scrutinizing, but ...... Sentence by sentence of exhortation, and also specially mentioned, take A Yanduo to travel outside for a few years, and he is not in a hurry to go back. Now that I think about it, at that time...... He's afraid he'll welcome... Blame me for not thinking too much, if I had been at the time...... Maybe if you take precautions early, the Zhou family won't ......"
Before Su Run finished speaking, he reached out directly to the other wine jar, directly uncovered the mud seal, raised his head and poured it, his eyes were red.
Xiao Luo sighed in his heart, and then squinted his eyes again.
Sure enough, the Zhou family knew something, and probably had a premonition that there would be a catastrophe, so they took this opportunity from Su Run to give Zhou Yan to him. The identity of the disciple of Su Run Demon Hall should also be the reason why the Zhou family dared to entrust Zhou Yan to him.
Thinking about it further, letting Zhou Yan have a relationship with Su Run is that the Zhou family is related to the Demon Palace, and it is not the intention of the Zhou family to try to protect themselves. It's just that...... Even with this layer, the Zhou family was still wiped out by the enemies of the Feng family standing behind them.
In this way, the Feng family specially united with the Tang family and the Xuanqing Gate to suppress the Demon Palace in the previous matter of the Flowing Light Grass Mountain Range, perhaps...... Also has the intention of diverting the attention of the Demon Temple and taking the opportunity to deal with the Zhou family?
If this matter is really so complicated, it will not be a matter for the Zhou family to cause the disaster of annihilation.
Thinking of Xue Yuan's speculation about Zhou Yan's bracelet......
Perhaps, not impossible.
......
"Where's Brother Wang?"
The woman with her hair tied high was wearing a purple-gold dress embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, and her purple eyes were even brighter against the background of the clothes. She walked around the hall without seeing anyone she wanted, and casually asked a guard who was standing aside.
"Back to His Highness, the king is afraid that he has gone to the market for a walk. ”
The woman nodded, turned away, and headed straight for the guard's market.
The market is very lively, but the atmosphere is a little different from the appearance of the various towns on the mainland of Kyushu, whether it is the shopkeepers and vendors or the passers-by, they all seem to be much more complacent, no one is trembling, no one is arrogant, there are many people who are familiar with each other, and the whole market seems peaceful and a little warm.
The woman walked alone all the way, passing by the people around her and the street vendors she passed, and when they saw her, they all bowed slightly and simply saluted her, all of them called her "Your Highness". If you look at her carefully, the younger ones look a little apprehensive when they see her, and some of them show a little excitement, while the older ones are much calmer when they see her, and their slight smile is also close.
The woman bowed her head in return, did not stay long, occasionally asked casually on the side of the street, and then continued in the direction of others
Sure enough, she didn't go far before she saw the person she was looking for.
A young man also wearing a purple-gold auspicious cloud robe had his back to her, standing in front of a stall, holding two hairpins in one hand, carefully comparing and selecting. The hairpin seller waited silently without disturbing, bowing his head slightly and bowing his body, showing a somewhat respectful posture.
The woman approached and whispered to the young man with his back to her: "Brother." ”
At the same time, the vendor also bowed in a low voice: "I have seen Your Highness." ”
The man in the purple-gold robe turned around, his appearance was slightly similar to that of a magnificent and cold woman, but he looked much calmer and less angular, and there was a warm smile in his purple eyes like a woman:
"Ah Cheng, you came just in time, help my brother take a look, which of these two hairpins is better?"
The woman known as "Ah Cheng" sighed in her heart, walked up and looked at it calmly with a calm face, and stretched out her hand to point to the plum blossom-like one: "This one, look more concise and generous." ”
The young man listened to the odds, put down another hairpin and handed over the money and silver, and turned his head to the woman beside him and said, "Okay, listen to Ah Cheng, your vision should not be wrong, your sister-in-law will definitely like it." ”
The woman's purple eyes flashed slightly, revealing some helpless sadness, but they quickly covered it.
She glanced at the vendor who also sighed silently, and followed the young man who put away the plum blossom hairpin heart and slowly continued to move forward: "My brother picked it with his heart, and my sister-in-law will naturally like it." ”
The young man laughed, squinting his eyes slightly, as if recalling something: "Where, your sister-in-law, she has fallen into my eyes many times, and she is inconvenient to buy a lot of jewelry for her." But...... I thought she didn't like it, so I helped her quietly throw it once, but she scolded her severely, and I had to ask her to find it again...... You, since she doesn't like it, what are you going to do?"
The woman lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes covered the emotion in her purple eyes at the moment: "...... Because those were given to her by your brother, of course my sister-in-law was reluctant to throw them away. You may not like it on your lips, but you are happy in your heart. ”
The young man grinned, but he was about to do something, as if he suddenly choked, he covered his mouth and coughed suppressedly, and the woman walking beside him hurriedly went up to support him, full of worry: "Brother......"
The young man's face turned red, and he endured and endured the itch in his throat, only coughed a few times before stopping, and smiled comfortingly at the person next to him: "It's not too early, let's go back with my brother." ”
“...... Good. ”
