Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Murderer of the Stars (Part I

"Well, is there anyone following us in the back?" Yu Shu hid behind an old locust tree, holding a silver bag, and looked out.

"No, come here." Jingchen stood at the mouth of the alley opposite and beckoned to her, Yu Shu trotted over, the alarm was lifted, she finally dared to gasp for breath, and fanned the wind with her palm in her ear.

Half an hour ago, she and Jingchen made a lot of money in the Baoren gambling house, and they left, followed by a large number of people, who followed secretly at first, and then became Ming, and the two of them walked around the east of the city for half a circle, and just threw off all the tails.

"Look," Yu Shu held up the heavy silver pocket in his arms to show Jingchen, and smiled proudly: "I'll just say you can help me, if you don't protect me, where can we get so much money." ”

Jingchen smiled noncommittally, thinking, this person is so fast, he looked wilted by the river last night, and he recovered his spirit today, and that time in the suburbs was the same, the tiger escaped from danger, the night passed, and the next day he led them back to the city, and she talked and laughed again on the way.

In the days since he came down the mountain, he has seen many secular people with his own eyes, but the one in front of him is the one who lives the most clearly.

"Take it, this is your ten taels, plus interest." Yu Shu took a crumpled silver ticket and stuffed it into Jing Chen's hand, but the other party did not refuse.

She pulled the sweaty collar, leaned against the wall, touched her face, was a hand of mud black, smelled the smell of sweat on her body, she was disgusted first, on the other hand, Jingchen, it was still refreshing and clean, so it was not enviable.

Jing Chen took off the double sword on his back, took off the Taoist robe he was wearing outside, turned it over, and put it back on his body, covering the black and white stripes of Dao lines, and it became an ordinary white robe, covering up the identity of the Taoist priest.

Yu Shu only learned this morning that he said that the function of his robe was worn in two, and he didn't find this mystery when he washed his clothes before.

After taking a breath, Yu Shu straightened his waist, patted the money pocket in his arms, and said, "Let's go, send the Buddha to the west, and send me home, lest I look like this, and I will be robbed as a beggar on the road." ”

Jingchen nodded, turned around and walked towards Luxi, Yu Shu followed him for a while, only then did he feel that something was wrong, and said strangely: "Hey, how do you know that my house is going that way?" ”

Jingchen promised to help her by the river last night, she went back to Zhao Hui's house alone, and the two met by the river in the morning.

Hearing this, Jingchen stopped, turned around and said, "Isn't it this way, which way should I go?" ”

Yu Shu's head was full of black lines, and he said in his heart that this person was leading the way blindly, so he raised his hand weakly, "Let's go, it's over there." ”

Jingchen stopped this time, and when she walked to the front, he raised his feet and followed her not far away.

Yu Shu tried his best to pick the path, although there were many people on the streets at dusk, no one paid much attention to her, a little beggar, there was no shortage of people walking around the rivers and lakes in Yiyang City, wearing hats and holding swords in their hands It was not uncommon for Jingchen to be seen.

The two of them pretended to be strangers like this, and returned to the alley of Zhao Hui's house one after the other.

Yu Shu walked to the door, saw that Jingchen stopped a few steps away and couldn't come up, so he stopped slapping the door and waved his hand at him:

"Come on, go in and have some tea and something to eat, follow me for a day of hunger."

Jingchen shook his head, the gray towel hanging in front of the hat blocked his face, he couldn't see his expression clearly, the sunset behind him was shining, and the shadow was stretched very long, inexplicably estranged.

Yu Shu vaguely felt that something was wrong, turned around and took two steps towards him:

"Jingchen Hero?"

"Xiaoyu, you're home, let's leave it at that."

As soon as Yu Shu heard this, it didn't taste right, so don't leave it at that? As if to part ways with her, she asked tentatively:

"Then I'll look for you tomorrow?"

It turned out that her hunch was right, because Jing Chen's tone suddenly became cold:

"Don't look for me anymore, the fate between you and me is over, and there is no need to be involved."

Yu Shu suddenly understood that this Jing Xiaobai was planning to break off with her, and he wouldn't even be friends in the future.

She wanted to be angry and laugh, and when she heard Jing Chen open her mouth so easily, in addition to being ridiculous, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless and aggrieved.

Although at the beginning, she approached Jingchen out of selfishness, not purely wanting to use others to pick up some Taoist Yixue, but later she had a master, didn't she never beat him again.

She ran errands for him, helped him wash his clothes, and then ran over to chat with him to relieve his boredom when he had nothing to do, and spit out his bitterness by the way, he had regarded him as a friend worth dating, Jingchen never showed impatience, and listened to her quietly every time, and occasionally comforted her with a word or two.

Even if something so big happened this time, he was willing to come forward to help escort her, she thought that they would already be friends.

But after a long time, it turned out that she was shaving her head and her burden was hot, this little friendship was nothing in the eyes of Jing Daochang, in a word, it was okay to say it, and it was gone if it was not.

It's so infuriating!

Phew, what kind of fate has passed, when you really wear a white robe and can fly, you are a fairy!

She gritted her teeth secretly, thought about it back and forth, and finally thought of a reason that caused the two of them to "have fate", and suddenly said angrily:

"Hey, are you still angry that I lost that little stone you gave me?"

Last night, when she mentioned the stone, he turned his face and told her not to go to him again, to say that he had nothing to do with the stone now, and he didn't believe it.

β€œβ€

Jingchen's silence confirmed Yu Shu's conjecture, she pursed her lips, strained her face, and pulled down her face for a long time to speak:

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know that the stone was so important, when you gave it to me, I thought it was just a gadget, it was worth a little money, I knew that I would take good care of it, or, or else, you give me a few days, I will look for that stone, maybe I let it go, and I am still at home. When I find it, you'll take back what you just said, 'It's fate, don't pass it away', okay?" ”

She looked at Jing Chen with a sincere expression, and even had a little taste of request, seeing that he was still silent, as if he had made up his mind, there was no possibility of negotiation, she felt irritable for a while, and the joy of earning enough money for the diagnosis and medicine earlier disappeared, raised her hand and grabbed her hair, and said depressedly:

"If you can't make it, you can say something, if you really can't do it, then you can go, anyway, you are not from Yiyang City, you have to leave sooner or later, and you can't say if you remember me in the future."

His eyelids moved, Jing Chen finally reacted, and suddenly asked:

"Yellow Frost Stone also has a name, do you know what it is called?"

Yu Shu shook his head blankly, "What's it called?" ”

"Bad Stones." Jingchen sighed at the end, but couldn't help but tell her, let's make it clear to her, let her complain, it's better than entanglement.

Bad Stones? Yu Shuhu wondered: "What do you mean, can that stone still be able to prevent disasters?" ”

"Exactly, the Bad Luck Stone is the treasure of my master's family, and it was given by my master when I went down the mountain."

Yu Shu has heard a lot of treasures from Qing Zheng, but he has never heard of any bad luck stones, and he has not seen anything sold on the market.

Yu Shu was puzzled: "Since it is a baby, how could you be willing to give it to me in the first place, we were not familiar with it at that time, right?" ”

Jing Chen opened his mouth, so he didn't plan to hide it from her anymore, prepared the wording, and asked first:

"Have you ever heard of Jiuyao?"

Yu Shu nodded hesitantly, Qing Zheng taught, Jiuyao is the sun, Taiyin, metal, wood, water, fire, earth and the nine stars of Jidu and Rahu, which are the nine stars that affect the good fortune and misfortune in the world.

Jingchen lowered his head lightly, let the hat curtain cover his vision, and said:

"I was born to commit a crime in the stars, and I have nothing to do with it, but anyone who has something to do with me will definitely cause trouble, and the more numerology twists and turns, the worse the disaster. If my guess is correct, you were in distress in the suburbs, and then you were kicked out of your house, and you suffered from flesh and skin, and almost ended up on the streets, including the disaster of the two days of bankruptcy, all because of me. ”

"On that day, I brought you back to the city from the suburbs, and I didn't want to have anything to do with you, but I felt that you were constantly involved, and I was afraid that you would be cornered in the future, so I left a place to go, so that you could go to me if you had something to do, and then I saw that you were mediocre and a good person, so I gave you the Blocking Stone with confidence, thinking that with it, you would not get into troubleβ€”β€”"

"Wait, wait!" Yu Shu interrupted Jing Chen's words, she squeezed her eyes to organize Jing Chen's words, trying to figure out the key point from the chaos.

"You're saying that the reason why I've been so unlucky these days is because I know you?"

She opened her eyes with a tangled expression and stretched out her hand to point at Jingchen's chest.

Jingchen nodded, quietly looking at her face, unable to tell whether she was angry or angry now.

Yu Shu licked her lips, she didn't want to believe it, her continuous bad luck these days was because of Jing Chen, thinking about it, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she smashed her fist on the palm of her hand:

"That's not right! What you just said is not right, according to what you said, I was abducted by those traffickers to the suburbs, obviously it has nothing to do with you, I didn't know you at that time. ”

"You've seen me before then." Jingchen Road.

"Where?" Yu Shu thought to himself, could it be that "she" had seen him before?

Jingchen said: "On the day you were taken away, on the bank of the river, I was in the plum forest on the other bank, and you were putting paper kites." ”

Yu Shu rolled his eyes, "That's if you saw me, okay, according to what you said, you're amazing, look at me, I'm going to be unlucky?" ”

Jingchen shook his head and said lightly:

"You saw me too."

"What β€”β€”β€”β€” I" and so on, that afternoon she and Yu Xiaoxiu went to fly a kite, and on the riverside, she looked at the plum blossom forest opposite for a long time, seemingly, as if, probably did see a white shadow, at that time she thought she was dazzled.

Jingchen saw her staring round eyes, and knew that she remembered it.

"Then it shouldn't be, so far away, I just glanced at you, I didn't see it clearly at all, why did I get involved with you?"

Jingchen is accustomed to saying: "I have been keen to learn since I was a child, and I feel something, and as soon as my heart moves, I know that there is a involvement, and the other party will be in trouble." ”
