140. [140] The new protector of the Dharma
Ziyi only lost a little too much blood, and at this time the wound was already bandaged, and he sat reclining on the bed [harmony]. Mu Beichen and Duanmuqi sat at the table.
Mu Beichen has been playing with the dagger in his hand, which is the one that Duanmu Xun has never asked for back after he lent it to Ziyi back then.
"Have you had enough! Give it back! Ziyi pursed his lips and yelled at Mu Beichen.
Throwing the dagger back to Ziyi, Mu Beichen said: "The spies came to report that several corpses were found under the mountain of Shaolin Temple, which were the same people who disappeared a few days ago. You say, "What's in the cave?" ”
"No matter what he has, now that the elegy is dead, I don't think this matter should be investigated." Duanmu Qi frowned, stood up, walked to the door, closed the door, and continued: "This matter is too weird, I'm afraid that the more we investigate, the more people will be involved." ”
"Who are those who are out of the valley?" Ziyi suddenly remembered that when they were in the stone room, someone came in to report that a group of people had come from outside the valley. Thinking of the tragic death of the person who reported it, Ziyi still felt a little scary.
"It's nothing more than troublemakers." There was a sneer on the corner of Duanmu Qi's mouth, "A few days ago, we left without saying hello, and these people wanted to take the opportunity to come to Wuhua Palace to make trouble, shouting that we should hand over the murderer." ”
"I think they're getting impatient." Mu Beichen looked at Ziyi and stood up, "My hands are a little itchy." ”
"Now that we are missing a Dharma protector, I have already passed the book to Wushuang for him to deal with in person."
As soon as Duanmu Qi's words fell, he felt a resentful gaze staring straight at him from behind, shrunk his neck, he didn't dare to look back, and said with a haha: "Ziyi, if you have difficulty moving, take a good rest, Beichen, go, my hand is also a little itchy-"
Before he finished speaking, Duanmu Qi had already escaped from the room with Mu Beichen's arm.
Purple clothes looked at Duanmu Qi who was fleeing for his life with black lines on his face, and got out of bed with gritted teeth, damn Duanmu Qi actually called Duanmu Kaoru to come to Wuhua Palace!
Ziyi was a little entangled, although she was happy and worried in her heart.
On the one hand, she really wants to see Duanmu Kaoru, and the more she is in dire straits these days, the more she misses it.
But on the other hand, she didn't want to go back to the palace again. The longer I stay outside, the more I feel that the outside world is more interesting, and inside the palace, it is nothing more than a group of palace maids, a group of eunuchs, and a group of women who compete for a man's favor!
Gritting his teeth, he picked up the mask on the table and put it on, and the purple clothes followed Duanmu Qi and Mu Beichen out. The wound on his arm was still aching, and the figures of the two people in front of him were about to disappear into the fog of Taniguchi.
Purple Yi quickened his pace.
"You bastard called Wushuang! Thanks to me, I saved you twice in a row! Ungrateful! Ziyi caught up with Duanmu Qi and scolded viciously.
"Auntie, don't you have a good rest, what are you going to do!" Xu was weak in heart, Duanmu Qi shrunk his neck and kept his distance from Ziyi as much as possible.
With excessive blood loss and the fatigue of the past few days, Ziyi only felt that his head was dizzy, and in the fog, Duanmuqi's red figure gradually moved away, and gradually, it seemed that he was a little invisible.
"Keep up." Behind him, there was a sudden warmth, Mu Beichen took Ziyi's hand, frowned slightly, and said, "If you get separated from us here, I'm afraid you will be trapped here forever." ”
Mu Beichen's hand was very warm, and the moment he grabbed it, Ziyi felt that his heartbeat was actually accelerating!
This familiar warmth made her a little nostalgic.
In a daze, he let Mu Beichen pull him out of the fog, and when the scene in front of him gradually became clear, Ziyi's brain became clear.
Shaking off Mu Beichen's hand in embarrassment, Ziyi noticed that a group of people were gathering in the distance.
"Mu Beichen! Nie Xiaoyao! Hurry up and hand over the murderer! ”
Seeing the three of them appear, a man led by him shouted loudly.
"Ridiculous! You ruffians came to our Wuhua Palace to ask for a murderer? What kind of place are you guys in our Wuhua Palace! Duanmu Qi sneered.
"In the lower leaves, the online self-aware of the Wuhua Palace is not the place where it should be! However, the demon girl has killed so many people, if the Wuhua Palace must protect it, then she can only do it herself! The man at the head took a step forward and clasped his hands into fists.
"Enchantress?" Purple raised his eyebrows, why are people in this world bewitching girls at every turn? Could it be that all the things that steal chickens and dogs are done by women?
"I don't know who you want us to hand over?" Duanmu Qi was about to say something, but Mu Beichen stretched out his hand to block him, and Mu Beichen stepped forward and asked.
"It's the woman in the purple mask in purple clothes!" Fang Ye stretched out his hand and pointed straight at the purple clothes.
Ziyi sneered, when she came to this other world, she seemed to be said to be a demon girl by many people!
The conscience of heaven and earth, she has never done anything hurtful to heaven and earth, why do these individuals splash dirty water on her as soon as there is dirty water?!
"Enchantress? I don't know what evidence you have? Ziyi stepped forward, a sarcastic smile on her lips, she wanted to see what these people could say.
"Evidence?! Why is it only you who can subdue that crazy Shaolin abbot! Why did you talk to the new abbot behind closed doors, and the new abbot died! Do you still need any evidence for the obvious matter-" Before Fang Ye's words were finished, Ziyi had already stepped forward.
"Pap" two crisp slaps, and Fang Ye's face was already imprinted with two red five-finger prints.
The sequence of movements was so fast that everyone didn't even see what was going on.
"You!" Fang Ye's eyes were round with anger, and the pair of eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire!
"Me? How am I! Hehe, I'm just teaching you a lesson to you arrogant maniacs! Here, everything is about evidence! You don't even have evidence, so you took everyone to Wuhua Palace to make trouble! These two slaps, I think they are light! ”
Two slaps?
Ziyi only wants to slap this man with a pig's head to death!
I hate others the most in my life for pouring dirty water on her for no reason!
At the beginning, she was weak and incompetent, so she could only swallow her anger!
It's different now!
If she wanted someone's life here, it would be easy!
If she wants someone to be gone, then that person has absolutely no way to live!
Enchantress? Hehe, if she is really a demon girl, I'm afraid that there is not even a wisp of ghost here at this time!
Everyone looked at Ziyi, but no one dared to act rashly, for fear that the next unlucky person would be themselves.
"I tell you that I have done a good job, and if I want to kill, why should I leave you with such a flaw! It's a shame that I'm protecting you in Shaolin! What a bunch of wolf-hearted stuff! If you had known that, you should have let that crazy monster tear you all apart! ”
Ziyi roared at the people in the distance, and she noticed that these people were basically the people who followed her to Shaolin at the beginning, and they were the people she had worked hard to protect.
"If you have any evidence, you can show it! If not, dare to speak out here, don't blame this girl for being unkind! ”
There was just a fire in his heart and nowhere to vent, but Ziyi wished that there were a few people who would die.
"Enchantress! I'm fighting with you! ”
Sure enough, Fang Ye's face was red after being beaten, he pulled out the big knife at his waist, and rushed over with purple clothes.
Ziyi also stood still, waiting for Fang Ye to get closer, only flashing to the left, grabbing Fang Ye's arm with his right hand, and with a force, he only heard a "click".
"Ahh
Fang Ye knelt on the ground in pain, and the big knife fell to the ground with a "clang", covering his arms and howling.
"Villain! It's just a waste of your hand today, which is cheap for you! If you still don't know what to do, don't blame this girl for beating you! ”
Ziyi's voice was gloomy and cold, making Fang Ye, a big man, unable to stop shivering.
He finally realized that he had messed with someone he shouldn't have messed with today!
His teeth chattered, he just wanted to find out a murderer casually, and to be in the limelight in front of his senior brothers, so as to become the head of the house, but he never thought that now he was losing his wife and breaking his army.
The people in the distance saw Fang Ye kneeling on the ground and moaning incessantly, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
And Duanmu Qi on the side saw Ziyi's neat move just now, and unconsciously touched his wrist. He only felt a cold air rise from the soles of his feet—he seemed to have provoked this woman just now.
"Does anyone else have an opinion?" Ziyi took a step forward, and everyone in the distance involuntarily took a step back.
A gust of wind blew the black hair of the purple clothes flying, and the purple skirts flew over.
"Enchantress! You kill my master! Lie to my brother! The whole martial arts is not peaceful! Even if I die today, I will die with you. ”
Suddenly a girl who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old stood out in the crowd, and the girl was holding a long sword in her hand, and she looked pretty and cute.
In line with the concept of pity for the fragrance and cherishing the jade, Ziyi shook his head and said, "I have not killed your master, let alone disturbed the entire martial arts. Little girl, it's better not to believe the rumors of others. ”
His eyes swept to Fang Ye, who was still kneeling and moaning on the side, and Ziyi began to consider whether it was too cheap for him to abolish one of his hands.
"Phew! No more nonsense! Look at the sword! ”
The long sword in the girl's hand stabbed straight towards the purple clothes, and the other women who followed behind the girl also drew their long swords one after another, and a group of seven people surrounded the purple clothes in the middle.
The purple clothes looked at the seven women around him with black lines on their heads, these people are too many and few enemies, and they are really shameless.
The slightest affection for the girl just now was exhausted, and the purple clothes were a little on tiptoe, and then retreated behind Duanmu Qi, and said, "Girl, let's leave it to the two of you to deal with, I won't beat women." ”
"I don't hit women either-" Before Duanmu Qi's words were finished, he received Ziyi's resentful gaze, and saw Ziyi's fingers pinching the "Kaba" sound, shrinking his neck, Duanmu Qi stood up hard.
"Today, if anyone can't get along with her, they can't get along with our Wuhua Palace! If you must make trouble in front of the Wuhua Palace, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless! The words were sonorous and powerful, and the purple clothes couldn't stop nodding behind Duanmu Qi.
"Oh, by the way, I'm a person who holds grudges, if anyone else dares to do it here today, then in the future, I will definitely destroy you!" Mu Beichen looked at his hand as if he had no intention, but the words he said almost made Ziyi spurt blood.
However, I have to say that the words of these two people are still quite influential.
"Mu Protector, Nie Protector, do you really want to protect the demon girl like this?" The woman who had just taken the lead asked sharply, but she was holding the long sword in her hand and didn't dare to make a move.
"I'm sorry, from today onwards, she will be the new protector of my Wuhua Palace! If someone attacks our Dharma protector's idea—"
"She's the new protector of Wuhua Palace?"
The woman was obviously shocked by Mu Beichen's words, and everyone behind her had the same expression.
Of course, at the same time, I was shocked by this incident, as well as Ziyi, who was the protagonist of this incident.
"Mu Beichen, when did I become the protector of your Wuhua Palace?!" Ziyi frowned, this Mu Beichen is just a Dharma protector, how can he have the right to make such a decision?
"Don't ask me, it's the palace master's decision." Mu Beichen smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with unknown feelings.
Ziyi looked at Duanmu Qi suddenly, Duanmu Qi could only spread his hands innocently, and said, "I really didn't tell him that you are here, how do I know that he will make such a decision." Beichen, why don't I know about this? ”
"Because you're sluggish." Mu Beichen muttered in a low voice, and looked up at the people in the distance: "I'll give you two choices." One, a stick of incense disappeared in front of my eyes in a moment. Two, death. ”
The software on the waist is out of the body, and the cold light is flickering.
The woman who took the lead bit her lower lip, looked at Ziyi with unwilling eyes, and said, "Since she is the new protector of Wuhua Palace, I believe that Wuhua Palace must have evidence to prove her innocence!" I only hope that at the martial arts conference in January, I can get the proof of Wuhua Palace! Let's go! ”
As the group of women left, everyone followed suit.
And Ziyi stood in place, taking off the mask on his face, "When will Wushuang come?" ”
She was wondering if she should avoid it.
I don't know why, she always felt that if Duanmu Kaoru saw her, he would grab her collar and kick her ass [harmony] stock hard.
Duanmu Kaoru's hideous smile appeared in front of him, and Ziyi couldn't help but shudder.
"Probably tomorrow." Mu Beichen noticed Ziyi's small movements and continued: "Wushuang has a special explanation, he is very interested in you. ”
At noon on the second day, the entire Wuhua Palace was in a tense atmosphere for Nie Wushuang's arrival.
Although Nie Wushuang is the palace master of Wuhua Palace, he rarely appears.
Ziyi stood beside Mu Beichen, and on the other side stood Duanmu Qi.
It's still the same white dress.
It's still the same silver-white mask.
Duanmu Xun walked straight to Ziyi under everyone's gaze.
"You're the purple coat?" Standing in front of Ziyi, the familiar voice made Ziyi's heart tremble. At this second, she suddenly wanted to throw herself into Duanmu Kaoru's arms.
"I've heard Beichen and Xiaoyao talk about you. Very good, I don't know if you would like to join the Wuhua Palace, become the new protector of the Dharma, and manage the Suzaku Hall with the master of the Suzaku Hall? ”
Duanmu Kaoru's voice was alienated, which made Ziyi a little surprised.
I secretly wondered if Duanmu Kaoru was still angry with her, or was it because of the change in the color of his eyes, but Duanmu Kaoru didn't recognize her?
"Ziyi, Wushuang is asking you!" Duanmu Qi is also very strange.
It stands to reason that Duanmu Kaoru can't be recognized, you know, Ziyi hasn't even changed his name! But listening to Duanmu Kaoru's attitude, he really didn't seem to know that the woman in front of him was the woman he had been gritting his teeth to catch.
"Ah-I-I don't know anything about your Wuhua Palace." Ziyi had never considered whether to be this Dharma protector, and her mind was all about the news that Duanmu Kaoru was coming.
Now when I was asked, I didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Wuhua Palace is divided into four halls: Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu. And the four Dharma Protectors assist the four hall owners to jointly manage the four branch halls. The Qinglong Hall is under the control of the hall master Nie Feng and the Dharma protector Nie Yun, who are mainly responsible for exploring all kinds of news on the rivers and lakes and sorting out these news. The White Tiger Hall is under the control of the hall master, Yinyue and me, and is mainly responsible for training the dead in case of emergency. And the Vermilion Bird Hall is managed by the hall master Caiyun and the previous Dharma Protector Mu Elegy, and the women of the Wuhua Palace are all in the Suzaku Hall. As for the Xuanwu Hall, it is managed by the hall master Dark Night and Leisure. Mainly responsible for the internal security management of Wuhua Palace. ”
Mu Beichen's words made Ziyi's head in a state of shock for a while, and the branches that suddenly appeared made her a little unacceptable.
"Actually, it's good to be a protector of the Dharma, the protector of Wuhua Palace, as long as you say it, no one will dare to bully you in the rivers and lakes!" Seeing Ziyi's ignorant appearance, Mu Beichen continued to follow the temptation: "Moreover, you can get any information you want to know." ”
"Really?" Ziyi's eyes widened, she had thought for a long time about how to survive in this river and lake and make money, and in the end, she felt that the only thing she could do was to catch ghosts.
Although she has never been caught, and she was often bullied by those ghosts in the past, but after all, it is different now.
If there is a big brand such as Wuhua Palace, it must be easier for her to do business.
"I promised." With a roll of his eyes, Ziyi said to Duanmu Xun.
"Good, Caiyun." Duanmu Kaoru walked up to the main seat and called.
"Yes."
In the crowd, a woman in her twenties walked out, with a simple ponytail and a purple and black suit, looking energetic and capable.
"From today onwards, you and Ziyi will be in charge of the Vermilion Bird Hall together."
"Yes."
After that, Duanmu Kaoru learned about the recent situation of the entire Wuhua Palace, and had a general understanding of what happened outside the valley yesterday, and left in a hurry.
For the people who were finally seen, and suddenly left, Ziyi felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
At night, standing alone in the courtyard with a wine jug, looking at the moon that was still round in the sky, full of grievances, he and this strong wine, hot into the stomach.
"Drinking alone and not happy?" Mu Beichen's voice sounded behind Ziyi, but Ziyi didn't even bother to turn his head back.
"He didn't even recognize me!" Muttering sullenly, Ziyi took another big sip into the spout of the pot.
A pair of warm arms encircled her from behind Ziyi, and just as she wanted to struggle, suddenly a familiar medicinal fragrance rushed into her nose.
"Kaoru Duanmu!"
