Chapter 258, Brass Bell
Shopkeeper, who are these people? Why fight in your inn? Ci Jing asked.
The shopkeeper was thin, and he was in high spirits when they first came, but now that the inn was smashed, it seemed that even his hair was gray, and he was a teenager for no reason, and he sighed heavily, and said, "How do I know who they are, and why are they fighting in my little shop?" I'm just doing a little business, and now they're cutting me off! ”
Another cry of crying and grabbing the ground, Cijing glanced at Guiyue, took out the gem that Chen Shangshan gave them before from his sleeve and put it in front of the shopkeeper, and said: "Shopkeeper, the roof of the guest room we lived in before was smashed by him," she stretched out her hand and pointed to the door, but deliberately pointed a little off, and continued: "This is what he paid, you may be able to resist it for a while." ”
The shopkeeper took the gem, and the folds of his face were piled up with snot and tears, and he said gratefully: "Thank you, old lady!" Thank you, old lady! The old lady is really a living bodhisattva! ”
Guiyue and Cijing left the inn, and before leaving, they pulled away Chen Shangshan, who was about to vomit out bile.
"Alas, if all the innkeepers in this world can fight like you, the world will be a lot more peaceful." Cijing sighed as soon as he sat down.
Guiyue glanced at her, "Are you praising me or hurting me?" ”
"Of course it's a compliment on you."
"That, I, I'm going to the capital, and I've lost my money, can I go first?" Chen Shangshan interrupted the daily bickering between the two and asked.
Ci Jing waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, be careful not to be caught by those people, we don't have the ability of the unpredictable prophet to rush over to save you." ”
He's going to the capital, he should be looking for Lanshang, right? But now that Lan Sheng is the princess of King Shuo, I don't know how he will react when he sees that scene.
Cijing looked at the already dark sky outside, and asked Guiyue: "Anyway, it's dark and he still has to hurry, is it really okay?" ”
"You're worried about him." Rosemoon spoke in a cool tone on the side.
Cijing glanced at him and said, "Can you beat Song Linzhao when I'm gone?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of wind outside, and a burst of copper bells jingled, which was extremely strange in this big night.
Ci Jing suddenly got goosebumps, looked at Gui Yue, Gui Yue stared at the window, Ci Jing looked at his gaze, but saw a woman's figure outside the window, slender and slender, vaguely familiar.
Liu'er?!
Cijing stood up abruptly, walked to the window, pushed it open, poked his head out to look out, but there was nothing outside.
Big night, what the hell?
She closed the window again, returned to the table and sat down, and Rosetsuki's voice, which was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, trembled, "Just now, you saw it too, didn't you?" ”
"Well, but what I want to say is that when Liu'er died, you collected the bones with your own hands, right?"
Rosemoon nodded slowly.
"So it can't be Liu'er." However, when she raised her head, in the bronze mirror opposite, behind her, a figure stood and smiled at him.
"Ah Ying ......"
She suddenly turned around, but there was still nothing, in this room, there were indeed only her and Guiyue, but they saw their deceased lovers separately.
The eyes of the two collided, and there was goosebumps in the mirror, she touched her arm, and said, "Is it because of the copper bell just now?" ”
A line condensed between Guiyue's eyebrows, and said, "Hundred Flowers Sect? ”
Cijing raised his eyebrows, and Guiyue said: "In the past three years, I have been to the Hundred Flowers Sect to find the master, but I didn't find it, but I also have some understanding of the Hundred Flowers Sect. ”
The disciples of the Hundred Flowers Sect are all women, and their weapons are all musical instruments, which do not have any harm in the eyes of mortals, but in the hands of the Hundred Flowers Sect, they have become weapons that can kill people.
Dieyuan's Xuanjiqin is like this, Huanhuan's Tao Xun is like this, and there are many in this Hundred Flowers Sect.
And the kung fu they practice is also very evil, which will cause great harm to people's spirits, such as Dieyuan's intermittent delirium, or they will accidentally go mad like Guiyue, and they don't know who the founder of the Hundred Flowers Sect is, and the Hundred Flowers Sect has existed for so many years, and the kung fu practiced is such an evil sect, and it is a miracle that it has not been destroyed as a cult.
But it's also possible that no one can kill them.
They use musical instruments to play beautiful music, which makes people sink and make people drunk to death in the beautiful dreams they weave, such as this copper bell, if the two of them are a little less concentrated, then Guiyue will continue to chase the phantom outside the window as Liu'er, I don't know where it will be chased, and the mirror will also stare at Yu Ying in the mirror, I don't know what to do.
"But how can there be people from the Hundred Flowers Sect here? Or is it deliberately aimed at us? Ci Jing wondered.
Guiyue leaned on the table with her arms crossed, did not answer, and walked to the dresser, although she knew that it was strange, she still looked at the bronze mirror a few times, but from beginning to end, only she was disguised as an old woman's face in the bronze mirror.
"Can I rip this human skin mask off?" Cijing touched her face, the rough touch made her very uncomfortable, Guiyue nodded, and had already ripped off the mask on her face, "If those people in the inn today, as well as the copper bell that just came, were all sent by Song Linzhao, then we have been exposed, and there is no need to wear masks again." ”
"I don't think it's Song Linzhao." Ci Jing said, "If he has already found out, he can come directly to confront us, why do you want to go around in such a big circle?" ”
Hearing this, Guiyue nodded approvingly, "In that case, it may be Situ Ke, after all, he found you when he was in the capital today." ”
"I always thought I was pretending to be like ......"
"You can't deceive people by pretending to be like the scent on your body," said Rosetsuki, "but those people at noon may not have been sent by him, and he may have let us go, probably because he still wanted to win you over to his use." ”
Guiyue pulled a piece of paper and a pen out of nowhere, and wrote on the paper: "Situ Ke, Su Jinnian, Su Yongye, Song Linzhao." ”
Ci Jing frowned and stared at the names of several people on the paper, and Guiyue continued: "Situ Ke's position is unclear now, according to what he said, he is on Su Yongye's side. ”
Cijing nodded.
And Su Jinnian, he may think that Situ Ke is helping him, because what Situ Ke did before may directly or indirectly lead to Su Changnian's resignation, and the situation is very favorable to him. And Su Yongye, he knew that Lan Sheng and Situ Ke cooperated to help him win the throne, but he couldn't fully trust Situ Ke, after all, a prince like him who had no power, he might not be able to figure out why Situ Ke suddenly wanted to help him. ”
He raised the tip of the pen and shook it in the tea, the tip of the pen was immediately wet, and he drew a line between the three people just mentioned and Song Linzhao on the paper, "Song Linzhao should have nothing to do with the battle for the throne, but because Situ Ke is in the same group as him, Situ Ke may ask him for help, but neither of them will fully trust each other." Situ Ke, let's assume that Situ Ke has a very important relationship with the Iron Fan Gate, and Situ Ke, as the master of the White Bone Fan, has a high status in the martial arts, so it is possible that he and Song Linzhao will find someone from the Hundred Flowers Sect. ”
Cijing's mind followed Guiyue's train of thought, and gradually became clearer, but there were still some mysteries entangled, and she felt that she was about to touch the truth of the matter, but that layer of paper could not be pierced no matter what.
"The current sect leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect is named 'Xue Jiao', and he uses a small gonghou, but the legendary Konghou has never killed anyone, and the music played by the gonghou can only save people." Guiyue said, "But I don't believe that the sect master of the Hundred Flowers Sect will be a great benevolent person who only saves people." ”
"And as far as I know, the string of hallucinogenic copper bells we heard just now requires people with extremely high internal strength cultivation to do it, even if you are like you, because of the power of the exquisite bone and the internal force has skyrocketed, but you have not experienced the precipitation of time, and you have not put it into practice, so you can't use that trick like you."
Ci Jing scratched his hair and said, "Then you mean, it was the sect master of the Hundred Flowers Sect who came just now?" ”
Guiyue raised her eyes and glanced at her, and said lightly: "If it weren't for her, I can't think of anyone else who could reach such a realm, probably my master can do it." ”
"Have you ever fought with Snow Jiao?" Ci Jing asked.
Rosemoon nodded, and said frankly, "I can't beat her." ”
Cijing was speechless for a while, although she and Guiyue had never fought each other, but according to her guesses and observations, the strength of the two of them was about the same, if the sect master of the Hundred Flowers Sect really came to the door, the two of them should be able to fight together, but if there was another Demon Sect Leader Song Linzhao, and then there was another White Bone Fan Situ Ke, then the ending of the two of them was needless to say.
"You don't have to worry too much, I pulled you here today, and I won't let you have anything to do." Rosemoon said suddenly.
"I won't ......"
"If you bury me too, Mr. Sun will probably whip my corpse."
Mirror: "......"
It was already late at night, Sun Xian returned to the county king's mansion, and the three secret guards did not bring back the news, he was a little upset and irritable, but his father called him back.
"Daddy." Sun Xian pushed open the door of the study and shouted.
Sun Longyou was holding a portrait in his hand, and when he saw Sun Xian coming over, he turned the portrait to show him, and said: "This is sent by the matchmaker today, I took a look, this girl is indeed quite peugeot, and she is a beauty." ”
Sun Xian glanced at him lightly, "You made sauerkraut fish for your prospective daughter-in-law a few days ago." ”
Sun Longyou laughed twice, "I know you only have that girl in your heart, but when you look at this girl, it seems to be a little familiar." ”
Sun Xian's eyes fell on the portrait, the girl in the painting was wearing a bud-colored dress, like a tender branch in spring, and that face was indeed what he saw on the street during the day today.
It's just that the girl in the painting has a thin red mole on her forehead.
