Chapter 56: The Same Door (2)
This night, Stealing Jade picked up a good time and asked Ghost Eye about the string of blood coral bracelets. At that time, the two were chatting with each other, and the ghost eye habitually took off the bracelet and rubbed it in his hand. The blood-red coral beads looked more and more transparent under the warm yellow light, and the murderous and bloodthirsty coldness that the beads originally revealed was also diluted by the candlelight.
Taking advantage of the ghost's inattention, Stealing Jade took a piece of "Tu Zhen Xiang" specially made by Lanjin and threw it into the silver smoke cage. There is agarwood incense burning in the smoke cage, and the real incense is colorless and tasteless, which is difficult to be detected. Lan Jin specializes in medicine and perfumery, and under the instruction of his master, he concocted many spices for special purposes. The function of this incense is to make people relax their vigilance, their minds are a little dizzy, and they are very easy to confide in the truth.
Seeing that the timing was more appropriate, Stealing Yu considered it and spoke: "Sect Master, Du Ruo never leaves your string of beads, and you often touch it when you talk on weekdays. Du Ruo saw that although this bead was beautiful, it was not such a rare thing, how could the sect leader like it so much? ”
The ghost eye never stopped stroking the coral beads, but smiled faintly: "This string of coral beads is of extraordinary significance to this seat. Perhaps, it can be said that it is the most important thing in this seat. ”
When the jade stealing heard this, his heart was not good. Since Ghost Eye takes the Blood Coral Bracelet so seriously, it will not be easy to attack it. She still maintained a sweet smile on her face, and said, "Presumably, there must be a story between this bracelet and the sect leader......
"Heh......" Ghost Eye suddenly laughed, and stared at Thief Yu with a pair of calm eyes, which made Thief Jade feel furious. Could it be that the question just now made her purpose too obvious? Has the ghost eye already begun to suspect her, doesn't Tu Zhenxiang work for him?
Stealing Jade was apprehensive in her heart, but she stiffened her back, straightened up and looked at the ghost eyes, and at the same time her face did not change. Unexpectedly, the ghost eye pointed to her blood-red right eye and asked her, "Do you know how the name of this seat came about?" Why is this eye of this seat different from ordinary people? ”
Stealing Yu shook his head: "Du Ruo doesn't know. ”
"No one knows but her, it's my secret." The ghost eye rubbed the coral beads, and there was a hint of imperceptible tenderness in her eyes, "This bead was found for me by her, for my eye." ”
Stealing Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then gradually, her voice was soft as hypnosis: "If a person carries too many secrets, his heart will be tired. Although Du Ruo is far inferior to the Dharma Protector, he can share the worries and solve problems for the sect leader, but he also hopes that the sect leader will be comfortable in his heart. Then, is the sect leader willing to tell this secret to Du Ruo? ”
Ghost Eye hesitated for a moment, but still nodded slightly: "I have been abandoned by my family since I was a child because of this unusual eye. He said lightly, no longer calling himself "this seat", his voice was unwavering, as if telling other people's stories, "This eye of mine can see ghosts." ”
Stealing Jade couldn't help but exclaim, and immediately covered her mouth with her hand. No wonder he is called a ghost eye, no wonder that eye is so weird and terrifying, there are such amazing and incredible things in this world! The majestic and cold man in front of him turned out to be "yin and yang eyes".
"I was abandoned by my family because my eyes were too terrible." Ghost Eye continued, not minding the exclamation of stealing jade, as if everything he had expected, "After I wandered for a while, I entered the Star Hidden Sect, and it was my mentor, the previous generation of Star Hidden Sect Protector Master Ru Phantom took me in. But because of my eyes, the other brothers and sisters in the same sect did not want to come near me, except for the night. She started teaching at about the same time as me, and she was very talented, and she was very fond of Master Rufan. Ye has been this temperament since she was a child, but she is very cold at a young age, and the master loves her very much, which has attracted a lot of jealousy. It is privately rumored that Ye will inherit the Master's position and become the next generation of Dharma Protectors. And I, although the master pitied my background, I was not a martial arts wizard, and my skills have always been mediocre and have made no progress. Once, I was pressed and beaten in the snow by two senior brothers, and it was the night that rescued me. Don't look at her young age at that time, but her skills are the strongest. The two senior brothers are tall and big, but they are not her opponents at all. ”
While listening to the story of the ghost eye, this picture unconsciously appeared in his mind: in the white ice and snow, a young man in a black cloth robe was lying on the ground with a bloody face, looking wolf. And the small, beautiful girl like a snow doll, dressed in the same black robe, with a cold look on her face, stretched out her delicate hand to him. I don't know why, such a picture makes Steal Yu's heart soft, and he has been moved unconsciously.
Xu remembered what happened when he was a child, and the always cold ghost eyes also smiled. Although that smile is not like a spring breeze, it is a rare warm sun in the winter when the cold wind is raging. A very light halo, just a thin beam of light shining through the clouds, is all the more precious because of its rarity.
He continued, unconsciously caught up in his own memories. He wasn't a talker, but now he was willing to confide in Stealing Jade about his past: "Actually, until now, I don't understand why the night looked at me differently at that time. Since that rescue in the snow, the night has not had much contact with me. Until one late at night, a disciple who offended the sect leader was executed, and his soul lingered in the sect, and his death was extremely hideous and terrifying. I could always see him, and I was so frightened that I couldn't sleep, so I hid outside the disciple's room and cried. That's when I met the night when I was still practicing my sword in the middle of the night. When she saw that I was trembling, she asked me why. I never told anyone the secret that I could see ghosts, because I was afraid that if people found out, they would move farther away from me. But for some reason, I looked at the dark eyes of the night, and unconsciously sued her. To my surprise, the night did not turn away from me out of fear. ”
"Since that day, the night has always dragged me to sword practice at night. Although her tone was very blunt and disgusting, she said that my skills were too poor and embarrassed my master's face, so she came to urge me to practice. But I knew that she was worried that I would be scared myself. Moreover, the sword has a killing aura, if it is not a too fierce soul, when someone practices the sword, the general ghost will not dare to approach. When I was exhausted from practice, I was released back to the disciple's room at night. I was so tired that I fell asleep, and I didn't have time to worry about ghosts. Besides, the power of the night was beyond my reach. I suddenly wanted to practice hard, even if I didn't reach her level, at least I wasn't so humble when I stood by her side. So since then, I've worked harder than everyone else. At night, I practiced martial arts with Ye, and my soul was not close. I was so focused on practicing that I became serious, and I gradually neglected to see ghosts. I'm not the most talented, but I'm the hardest-working. Coupled with Ye's unreserved guidance, my skills soon improved by leaps and bounds, and Master was very pleased, and the internal skills and mental methods taught to me gradually increased, and those fellow disciples who used to look down on me also began to look at me differently. ”
Stealing Jade originally thought that with the depth of the ghost's eyes, he must be a genius with excellent roots, and his practice was like divine help. But he never thought that he was just a person with mediocre qualifications, just because he wanted to chase such a woman, he became the master of a sect, and his martial arts were even more unfathomable, and he became a dominant figure. It seems that the effect of night on ghost eyes is not just as simple as the love between men and women. She is simply the sun in the life of the ghost eye, indispensable!
"Later, I became the sect leader, and the hardships along the way are only known in my heart at night." Ghost Eye said flatly. He is only a disciple of the previous generation of Great Dharma Protectors, and if he inherits the position of Dharma Protector, he can be regarded as being cleaned up. But in the end, he became the sect leader, and the descendants of the previous generation of sect masters are now gone, and I am afraid that the process is by no means "hard" can be carried over. Stealing Jade thought to herself, with such an arrogant and cold temperament as Ghost Eyes and Night, he would definitely not have the ambition to fight for power. Perhaps behind the Ghost Eye's inheritance of the position of sect leader, the secrets of the previous generation of the Star Hidden Sect are implicated.
Sure enough, I heard the ghost eye say simply: "My master has profound skills, is kind, and is quite popular in the sect. But the previous generation of sect leaders was jealous, and they were afraid that my master would take the position of sect leader, so they designed to kill my master. Ye and I witnessed the process of Master's murder, and from that moment on, the two of us secretly decided to destroy the sect leader and avenge Master! ”
