Chapter 1 (1)
Qionghualou, one of the seven decent schools in the Central Plains, is known as the intelligence center of the world, and among the eight major sub-pavilions under the door, Shuijingxuan, which operates a brothel as a signboard in Heqing Dao Shangzhou, can be regarded as the first of all Xuan.
Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Yuexi Bridge, which is the third on the beauty list, is the top brand of Shui Jingxuan, and they also know that she is just a geisha, but some people know that she is not completely unpicked.
There are many men in the world who are deceived by her skin and want to go deeper into her body. She knew it, and she didn't see this body as an unattainable thing, disdainful of the rich and noble, and only sought a heart closest to it.
In other words, those who want her body must be considerate of her heart, and not just covet the shallowness of her appearance.
The Cross Creek Bridge is not a no-pick-up, nor is it a no-take-off passenger. Since Zhaoqing was established as the head of Shuijingxuan in the second year, Yuexi Bridge has received more than a dozen guests intermittently. And although these guests were rich and noble, and the children of families, not all of them were men of prominent families and handsome faces. There were also people with unbearable faces and bloated bodies, and the man who got her first night was a ruffian with countless scars on his face and robbing others for a living.
It is said that the ruffian surnamed Hu looked at the beauty through layers of veils, and captured the beauty's heart after only a few words. This beauty is also a strange woman, although she was frightened by the appearance of the ruffian, but she didn't take it to heart at all, and if she fell to the ground, she was like real gold, and she really handed over her first night.
That day was March 14 of the second year of Zhaoqing, which was engraved in the hearts of most people, but the first person who asked for her body could no longer be found.
Naturally, not all of her guests will disappear, but the ruffian who seized the opportunity and had no family background to rely on would be beaten to death by those men who were greedy for her but couldn't get it.
I still remember that when they killed the ruffian surnamed Hu, they said "eliminate harm for the people", and the Yuexi Bridge that learned of this was just a sigh of "realizing selfish desires must always be under the pretext of the world, and everyone in the rivers and lakes is the same".
There was no mercy or nostalgia for that night, as if it was someone else who had shared her bed.
Headed by this man surnamed Hu, many of the guests of Yuexi Bridge who had no family background and power to rely on would disappear after that spring breeze, or die. And those noble sons, official families, and guests who have experienced the tenderness of beauties are no longer allowed to get drunk with the spring breeze.
From the second year of Zhaoqing to the sixth year of Zhaoqing, there were only fifteen of her guests, and there was no common place in terms of body shape and family background. If there is one similarity to be found, it is that they both use only a few words to make the beauty open her body and voluntarily enter it.
There are also men who are not beautiful and spend a lot of money, just to get that piece of words, but they who have hugged the beauty seem to have lost their memory, and they don't remember the softness of the room, and the few intimate words.
It's just that four years have passed, and these dozen or so guests have only appeared in the first two years. I heard that in July of the fourth year of Zhaoqing, Fu Yiyi, the lord of Shuijingxuan, took Yuexi Bridge to the general pavilion of Chongxiao Pavilion, and then there were remarks on the rivers and lakes that Yuexi Bridge practiced magic skills and declared that the master of the Pavilion abolished its meridians.
Many people know that Yue Xiqiao is a martial arts master - a decent disciple, even if she is a trickster, where can she not know martial arts, but they don't know that what she is practicing is the Demon Sect exercises that are spurned by the entire Central Plains martial arts people, and they are suddenly afraid that they will not be able to avoid it, and there are fewer men who go to fight for the beauty muscles and bones.
At the end of September in the fourth year of Zhaoqing, Yi Lan, the wife of Xuan Yu, the master of the Chongxiao Pavilion, was assassinated by Sheng Ying, the second elder of the Seven Star Sect, in the Toad Valley of Xishu, and died in Guiyuan Valley. In October of the same year, the Phoenix Pavilion announced that Mrs. Yi Lan was a Gu person prepared by Biluo Palace for the cultivation of demonic skills, and uncovered the conspiracy of the Seven Star Sect and Biluo Palace to secretly collude with the Central Plains Martial Arts, and officially declared war with the Seven Star Sect.
The Chongxiao Pavilion, the largest faction in the Central Plains, declared war on the Demon Sect, and the other major sects naturally followed suit and set up a banner that was officially opposite to the Seven Star Sect. Decent people worked together to eliminate demons, and with the help of chivalrous people who had no sect and no faction, within a few months, the demon cult forces hidden in the eastern part of the Central Plains were uprooted and wiped out in one fell swoop.
On November 14 of the fifth year of Zhaoqing, Yi Fengshu, the head of the four heroes, "Don't be a king, is difficult to be in the morning", single-handedly eliminated the three thousand demons lurking in the eastern part of the Central Plains, Lei Ling Hall, Huofu Hall and Earth Pole Hall, and burned it with the Great Elder Che An Lan Ai, bringing the demon eradication storm of the entire rivers and lakes to the highest tide.
The annihilation of three thousand disciples, three hall masters, and a great elder almost destroyed half of the Demon Sect. In addition, Yi Fengji, the palace master of Biluo Palace, and the six righteous sects should cooperate with each other, and get rid of two of the Seven Star Protectors, and now the Demon Sect can be described as stormy and crumbling.
So far, all that remains of the Seven Star Sect senior position are two elders who have disappeared, five Dharma protectors who stick to the head sect, and five hall masters who have also been unable to find a trace.
Somewhat similar to the four branch pavilions in Yunyun Village, the eight branches of the Seven Star Sect do not have a fixed place, and people are in the hall, so it is difficult to find the demons. Even if it was the hall master himself, the information that Qiong Hualou knew was only his name and some abilities, and the rest was unknown.
Today's Demon Sect has been shattered, and even two years ago, people were afraid of this exotic Seven Star Sect and the many demonic skills that could only be practiced by sucking people's lives and disobeying nature. Therefore, in July of the fourth year of Zhaoqing, it was reported that Yuexi Bridge was abolished by the Xuan Pavilion Lord due to the cultivation of magic skills, and there were very few guests who flocked to Shuijingxuan for a while.
Some people even say that she was used by the people of the Demon Sect to frame the chess piece of the Chongxiao Pavilion Master, but the Xuan Pavilion Master took precautions in advance, so that she would not inhale her demonic qi and cause internal force chaos and madness. It's just that after this incident, whether it was Shui Jingxuan or Jin Yuxuan, none of the senior positions in Qionghualou punished her, and gradually people only regarded it as a rumor and no longer cared.
It's just that since then, Yuexi Bridge has never received a single guest, or no one can get close to her heart, and Wen Xiang Nephrite can never get close to her.
Four months have passed since the Battle of the Ancient Plains, and the hearts of the people in the eastern part of the Central Plains have been settled, and everyone is waiting for the day when the demon cult forces will be completely eradicated.
On March 14 of the sixth year of Zhaoqing, only a few people will remember that the Yue Mei people four years ago were robbed of their first night on this day.
β¦β¦
The strings of the zither gradually stopped ringing, but the bead curtain behind him jingled.
Yuexi Bridge tilted his head slightly, and saw that it was Yuqu who had been serving him closely, and he said, "Someone is here again." β
"Yes, today is of great significance to Miss, and there are naturally a lot of people here." Yuqu lowered his head, "It's over, Lord Xuan said that even if someone comes in the future, he will treat this person as the last." If the young lady still has no intentions, he can sleep peacefully as soon as he leaves. β
Yuexiqiao nodded, and slowly stroked the Yao Zheng with his hand: "Go." β
Behind the beaded curtain were layers of red gauze tents, which obscured the face, and only the figure of the man who entered the room could be faintly seen.
After Yuqu left, he closed the door with his hand, and Yuexi Bridge still lowered his eyes and stroked the kite, and did not get up or look back. It is said that these veils in her house are enough to hide a person's appearance and temperament, so only words can enter her heart.
But they never knew that she would never turn around to look at every man who came to look for the spring breeze, and she didn't need this layer of veil to cover up. They never knew that it wasn't the intimate words that moved her at all, but the voice.
The voice of those people, or rather, that person.
β¦β¦
I remember that four years ago, that person made an appointment with her that he would completely turn her into his person on this day.
He has a special identity, and his true face cannot be easily seen. When he had never come to Shui Jingxuan before, he always wore a mask that covered half of his face in front of her. When you come here, and meet her as a guest, you can only change your appearance, or even change your body, so as not to come too many times and let people see the clues.
Everyone didn't know that since Zhaoqing started picking up guests in the second year, her fifteen guests were just one person, and all of them were his disguised appearance. She would recognize him by his sound and an object on his body, and he would blindfold him with a black strap, and then embrace him as he returned to his original appearance and form.
It's just that he didn't want to use the identity of a nearby ruffian for the first time. At that time, he was still covered with the hideous face of the Hu surname, but he said to her in a clear voice that was completely inappropriate with that face:
"Qiao'er might as well guess what will happen to the original owner of this face after tonight."
The end result was that he had been rampant in Shangzhou for several years without an accident, and he was only impersonated to spend a night with the top geisha of Shui Jingxuan, which led to the disaster of killing.
The third time was in July of the same year, he used the identity of the eldest son of Shangzhou Thorn Shi, a son of an official family who was used to domineering in the surrounding states and counties by relying on official authority.
At that time, he stroked her face and said, "Qiao'er guess again, what will happen to this son of Thorn Shi?" β
The end was unharmed. The emperor is far away, and the history of the assassin of a state is equivalent to the local emperor, not to mention ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, even Shui Jingxuan does not dare to provoke the history of the assassin of a state, even if he really kills people, he needs to borrow the name of ups and downs, not to mention that although the eldest son of the assassin is overbearing, he has never done anything extreme to hurt the heavens and reason.
The fourth time he came back as an ordinary man in Shangzhou, he said: "When I got rid of that ruffian, I used an excuse to benefit the people. Now for this man who has no mistakes and is only dedicated to supporting his family, what kind of excuse will you hypocritical people in the Central Plains use? β
She sat silently and didn't speak, he pinched her chin, made her meet his eyes, and chuckled, "Qiao'er doesn't want to guess?" β
She sighed deeply, simply pulled the black strap from his placket and blindfolded herself, turned to the side and said, "Even if you want to hide your identity, you shouldn't use this to kill innocent people." β
He laughed deeper, took off his mask and led her to sit on the bed, and said, "That bridge is believed, and this person will also die because of you." β
She was slightly stunned, but said, "I don't believe it." "That ruffian surnamed Hu is not a good person in the first place, so he naturally deserves to die, but this time he is just pretending to be an ordinary person who makes money by setting up a tea stall during the day to make money and facilitate passers-by to rest, and there is nothing wrong with him, how can he be killed easily.
"That's exactly what happened." He took her hand and moved it to the neckline, motioning for her to come and undress him, "I thought that after the first time, Qiao'er believed that the Central Plains people will always be scum with different hearts and bullies." β
"That ruffian, how many people's belongings have been robbed of for so many years, he deserves to die." She touched the darkness and clumsily undressed him, "Even if the people who killed him were only out of jealousy and unwillingness, they did not kill him wrongly. β
He stopped talking, and felt that her simple and serious appearance was so cute, and kissed her softly on the lips.
As a result, the civilian man who set up a tea stall to make a living was stoned to death on the fifth day by another gang of ruffians from Shangzhou because his tea there made them diarrhea.
The ruffians are always bullying the people behind their backs, when have they ever appeared on the street seriously, let alone such a big tea stall.
There are indeed many coincidences in this world, but after he said those words, and she firmly "didn't believe it", at that moment, she didn't believe that it was a so-called coincidence.
The fifth time he used a guard who hired a lot of thugs to protect his identity as a traveling merchant, as if he had come to comfort her and said, "No one will die this time, don't worry." At that time, she realized that he was punishing her heart step by step, making her completely disappointed in the "hypocritical" Central Plains, and completely handing over all her heart to him.
And those deliberate comforts are just more confirmations of the "facts" that have been deeply seared into her heart.
ββThe people of the Central Plains always like to realize their selfish desires in the name of righteousness, hiding needles in the cotton, and how can they ever care about the so-called morality when they are really ruthless.
Although she is from the Central Plains, she was saved by the people of the Seven Star Sect, and she was also taught exercises by them. Because of the annihilation, she already had hatred for the imperial court, and she was alienated from the Central Plains martial arts since she was a child, and she was even more jealous of the Central Plains. Only when she came to Shuijingxuan not long ago, the care and care of Lord Fuxuan and other prostitutes made her feel a trace of the warmth of her hometown.
And he just doesn't want these warmth to occupy all of her heart, so he reminds her in this way from time to time that no one can be trusted, and only he is the only one she can rely on.
She's just his person, so in body, and even more so in heart. She has her revenge to avenge, and she has promised to do things for him, even if what he wants her to do is damage the entire Central Plains Martial Arts, she will not care.
This so-called Central Plains, the so-called hometown, has never guarded her family and relatives for her, so why should she care.
It's just that I don't want her to not only fail to contain the newly appointed Chongxiao Pavilion Master, but also have been deprived of her meridians, and she can no longer practice martial arts.
After that, he returned to Shuijingxuan from the Phoenix Pavilion, and he never came to look for her again.
Perhaps he was completely disappointed in her, and felt that her pawn was no longer useful, so he did not want to see her again. Or maybe it was the Central Plains Martial Arts led by Chongxiao Pavilion that officially declared war on the Seven Star Sect, and the Seven Star Sect lost six high positions and three thousand demons one after another, and he was too busy to take care of himself in the sect, so he didn't have time to see her.
In fact, even though she has known him for seven years, she still does not know his name, identity, or even appearance. But what is certain is that he has a position and a high position in the Seven Star Sect, but he doesn't know which protector or hall master he is.
It's strange that I don't know anything about him, but I have already had a deep relationship with him four years ago. In the six years that she has been in the Water Jingxuan, he has come to see her countless times, but as long as she has been fifteen times, he has deeply integrated with her every time, violently conveying his feelings and desires for her.
β¦β¦ Affection. She also thought about what kind of feelings they could have when they were just using and being used.
Even if he had said in person that she was his person, and that he would never abandon his person.
But today is already the 710th day, and the last time she saw him was on this day in the fourth year of Zhaoqing.
Since the Battle of the Ancient Plains, she no longer had the idea that he would come to see her. In November last year, Yi Fengshu alone brought such a devastating blow to the Seven Star Sect, and as a senior member of the sect, he didn't know what he would be busy with, and he would definitely not think of her again.
So since then, when talking to people, she will stroke the kite.
She didn't want to hear anyone's voice, and since she couldn't hear the voice that belonged only to him, she might as well cover it all with the sound of the zither.
β¦β¦
The man listened to her koto and walked forward step by step, and finally stopped at the closest place to the outermost layer of tulle.
The window is half-closed, and the wind winds in, lifts the veil, and blows across the face. The low sound of the kite blew along with the wind towards the crimson tent, causing the man's eyes to squint in intoxication.
For some reason, she kept playing the kite, and he just stood where he was, not speaking or moving. She didn't pay attention to it, closed her eyes, and her heart only rose and fell with the sound of the zither, and never put it anywhere else.
At the end of the song, she sighed and lowered her hand, and when she wanted to get up and persuade the man to leave, a voice came from behind her that also touched her heart.
"-When Qiao'er learned the zheng, I'm not the first to know, this time it's really going to make me mind."
