Chapter 156: The Other Side of the Blood
From that night on, Chen Yao stopped forcing her to tell the truth, and lived in peace for a few days.
I don't know if Chen Yao's task was completed or how, but when I got up early in the morning, I saw the two of them packing up their things and preparing to move the nest. So he walked over curiously, "Where is this going?" ”
Seeing that Chen Yao had nothing to pack, all he carried with him was a sword, but Phantom Yin sorted out the big bag of clothes piecemeal, which made Chaolu feel incredible, how could a killer have so much luggage?
However, compared to the pile of clothes in Phantom Yin, his guqin is obviously larger......
"Sister!"
Phantom looked happy to see Chaolu coming over, in stark contrast to Tatsuyo's lifeless and expressionless appearance.
The white-clothed young man with a soft smile on his face pulled Chaolu's hands up, "We're going back—"
Get back?
Hearing this, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and looked at the two people in front of her and blurted out without thinking, "Where are you going?" ”
A cool wind blew through, rolling the fallen leaves in the courtyard into the air, one after another, like a rain of red and bright maple leaves, and the black-clothed young man stood in the beautiful scene like a picture scroll, looking at her indifferently, "Return to the Shadow Pavilion." ”
Hearing these two words, she was stunned again.
"You're with us." His right hand was wrapped in a bandage, and it seemed that he had been injured while practicing his sword.
Turning her head in disbelief, she wondered if the other person was joking.
Instead, Phantom Yin smiled and led her to the door, looking back at Chaolu as she walked, "Anyway, my sister doesn't have much to go, so let's go with us!" ”
Wouldn't they, they're going to take themselves to the Shadow Pavilion?
There was a chill in the back, you must know that it is a den of thieves where murderers gather, and if you go to this three-legged cat kung fu, you must not be cut to the point that there is no scum left?
She remembered that she seemed to have heard Chen Yao say that the Shadow Pavilion was different from other sects, there were not so many rules and regulations, and the hierarchical relationship between the upper and lower levels was relatively loose, but even so, she still felt a little awkward, she was an ordinary person who went to stay in the killer pile~ Very insecure!
Her back was suddenly poked by something cold and hard, and she turned around reflexively, but it happened to meet the cold eyes of the black-clothed young man, and it was the hilt of the dawn that stabbed her just now.
If it was Chen Yao, who was a few years older, she would have already slapped her at this moment, but what about the ...... in front of her cough, although it's the same person, it's obviously not as tolerant of yourself as when you grow up, and if you get angry, you may be in danger of your life~ Hey!
I don't know when Chen Yao got the carriage, anyway, it didn't take long to sit in the carriage with Phantom Yin, and she realized that this place was actually not too far from the Shadow Pavilion.
To her surprise, when she followed them into the Jiutu Mountain where the Shadow Pavilion was located, she didn't look at the people guarding the mountain gate like other sects, and all she saw was a silent and empty mountain forest.
A layer of almost lilac mist hung over the land that seemed to have just awakened from its slumber, like a graceful veil hanging from the sky, outlining the area as magnificent and mysterious as a fantasy.
I thought this was a place where killers gathered, but when she walked to the imposing dark-toned building, she never saw half a figure, but Chen Yao and Phantom Yin were walking leisurely and calmly, and no one gave her an explanation.
Before entering the door, Chen Yao turned to look at Phantom Yin, "You take this woman to the back compartment." ”
Phantom nodded, grabbed Chaolu's hand and walked somewhere, and asked softly, "Are you hungry?" Let's go get something to eat first, and wait for Chenyao to come back. ”
"So where did he go? Why don't you see anyone else? The imposing mansion of the palace was lifeless, and she felt a little uneasy.
"The Shadow Pavilion is not a sect, and the killers rarely stay here, and only come here when they take on tasks and return to missions." Phantom chuckled and walked through the corridor with Ayuro.
Is that so? No wonder there was not even a figure around.
As soon as he turned the corner, he was dazzled by a large field of bright red flashing like flames.
She was stunned in place, only to find that the flowers on the other side of the courtyard were blooming all over the ground!
Under the lilac sky, the shocking flowers on the other side of the ground were like blood spurting out, dazzlingly red, leaving the ghostly mark in every corner.
Flowers on the other side, flowers bloom on the other side, flowers bloom and leaves are not born, leaves and flowers have withered, flowers and leaves are not seen, life and life are wrong, and they will always know each other but cannot fall in love.
Seeing so many flowers for the first time, she was shocked by the scene in front of her and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
The other side of the flower, the other side of the flower......
Why do you always feel as if you've seen this scene somewhere?
She wandered unconsciously, until Phantom poked her arm curiously, "What's the matter, sister likes this flower?" ”
Realizing that Phantom Yin was talking to herself, she quickly withdrew her gaze, "Well, it's the first time I've seen so many flowers from the other side, it's so beautiful!" ”
"There are many more in the back mountain, if you like it, I can take my sister to see it!" Phantom Yin first smiled briskly, and then showed a look of doubt thoughtfully, "It's strange to say, our pavilion master is such a martial idiot, but somehow he likes to grow flowers...... And only this one is preferred. ”
Pavilion Master?!
Hearing the phantom sound say this, she reacted sluggishly, isn't the Lord of the Shadow Pavilion just that cute little grape!
Thinking of Little Grape's silly appearance, she couldn't hold back her laughter.
"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Phantom Yin frowned inexplicably, as if wondering what could make Asaka laugh at what he had just said.
Suddenly realizing that she was laughing out of place, she quickly stopped, "It's okay, I'm crazy myself." ”
Hearing this, she smiled helplessly, this sister really often blurts out some quirky new terms!
"By the way, where is your pavilion master?" She suddenly wanted to meet the little grapes of this era.
"I don't know, I haven't seen it in a long time......" Phantom shook her head.
Well, the killer boss or something, it's really the dragon that sees the head but doesn't see the tail!
After staying in the Shadow Pavilion for most of the day, Chaolu gradually understood why the Shadow Pavilion was not a sect, because this place was like a housekeeping service company at all! The killers are hired by the Shadow Pavilion like hourly workers, and the Shadow Pavilion collects all kinds of information through its vast intelligence network, accepts commissions, and then divides the commissions, forming a special labor relationship over time.
It's just that in the world of killers, there has always been an extremely paranoid concept of power worship, and the law of the jungle can be seen everywhere. People who don't belong to work alone are obviously inferior to an organized organization like the Shadow Pavilion in various aspects such as intelligence and backup, so neither the risk nor the probability of success in the mission is high, so the Shadow Pavilion has attracted a large number of elite assassins from all over the world since its inception, and it is precisely because of this that it has developed to the current scale.
And Chaolu also found that although there were not many killers left behind in the Shadow Pavilion, there were still exquisite guest rooms built in the back compartment, and there were even servants who were responsible for cleaning and cooking!
Having said that, she has almost seen all the Seven Evils of the Shadow Pavilion, but this time she didn't see anyone else, but she just met a few people with a cold temperament and taciturn temperament, and it is said that they are also killers who came back to take on the mission.
Maybe they don't care much about other people's affairs when they are killers, and when they saw a stranger coming to Chaolu, they didn't even look at her! Instead, she hurried past with a blank face, completely as if she were air.
In this way, the hundred scoundrels chatted in the Shadow Pavilion for two days, and Chen Yao received a new task.
There was no way, Chaolu and Phantom could only follow.
Listening to Phantom Yin, he said that he was only good at music and rhythm, and his fist and foot kung fu were very ordinary, and many tasks could only be completed with Chen Yao's help, so this young man like a white lotus rarely killed people by himself.
It is not difficult to understand that these two people have an advantage in their actions, but Chen Yao has to bring the oil bottle of Chaolu wherever he goes, it is like surveillance! Hey, it seems that she still doesn't trust her~ After all, she still wants to stay in the Shadow Pavilion to investigate the matter of Little Grape, and she always feels that something must be strange when she meets him later and becomes like that......
After the three of them left, they only came to a narrow road crossing with steep terrain, and it seemed that they were going to guard here to intercept someone.
"You stay here and don't run around," Chen Yao grabbed the hilt of his sword and glanced back at Chaolu, then turned to Phantom Yin on the side, "What to do, you don't need me to teach you, right?" ”
Glancing at the other party's cold eyes, Phantom Yin shrank back in fright, and quickly removed the strip of cloth covering the magic qin.
At that moment, the sound of cars and horses marching in front of the road was heard.
I saw a flash of black clothes, and Chen Yao's figure rushed out silently like a night owl.
When he turned to the side, he saw Phantom's pale face, so he tugged at his sleeve with some curiosity, "You seem to be very afraid of Chenyao?" ”
"No!"
Phantom raised her head slightly, her eyes hollowly muttered, "He's right, he's right......"
I didn't understand what Phantom Yin meant, and then turned his head to look at Chaolu in front of him, only to find that there was a team of dozens of people coming from the other side of the road.
Could it be that Chen Yao plans to face so many people at the same time, it's crazy!
"Who-"
Seeing the man in black who fell from the sky and held a long sword in his hand, the team over there suddenly stopped.
Phantom suddenly raised her head, her eyes looked at Chaolu with a little bit of water, revealing a melancholy expression, "Sister, you use this strip of cloth to plug your ears." ”
Quickly reacting to what Phantom was going to do, she subconsciously picked up the soft silk cloth and stared blankly at the panicked group of people at the narrow entrance.
Listening to the phantom sound, he covered his ears, and then saw him stroke the strings with both hands, and his slender fingertips twitched.
"Ding~"
The melody, which was completely different from the previous play, sounded like a battle horn, and even if I covered my ears tightly, I was still pierced by the tune like the sound of broken gold and cracked silk.
