Chapter 1: Late Night Encounter
The country of Cangyou, the land is vast and rich, the folk customs are simple, famous for the witch doctor Gu poison, among which the witch village, there are countless miracle doctors, the poisonous hand is like a cloud, the leader is called the Yingxi Holy Maiden, perennial retreat and cultivation in the stone cave, mysterious and unpredictable, except for a friend, no one can see its true face.
Sixty years after Cangyou, Yan Lefan ascended the throne as the king, the court and the opposition were in turmoil inside and outside, the world was in chaos, Wuzhuang was also in danger, the holy woman went out of the mountain to crusade against the traitors, but the rebellious and poisonous concubine was in charge, and the dynasty was in danger.
In the sixty-third year of Cangyou, the coup d'Γ©tat of the palace was encountered, the queen was assassinated and died in the palace, and the whole family was destroyed by the fire of Wuzhuang.
The spiritual master in the palace asked the heavens, believing that witch Gu was beyond the way of the heavens, and the queen's death was inseparable from it, and the remaining witches in the country should be strangled.
The king lamented his misfortune, dismissed the advice of the spirit master, and changed the name of the country to Wu Qiu, which means that the sorcerer has fallen and is not only brilliant but not gone, and ordered the prohibition of witchcraft and witchcraft.
Later generations were amazed.
In the seventeenth year of Wu Qiuguo, Guotai Min'an, Haiyan River is clear, only the ancient nameless painter has a picture of "Crying Beauty to the Moon" circulated in the world, and was invited by the general Su Ming'an to be famous after the treasure of the town, and the people who saw the pictures in the past were amazed and praised, so they attracted the thieves to be greedy, and they came one after another, but no one succeeded.
One night in April, the moon stars are scarce, the breeze is clear, and Su Luanyin, the only daughter of the Su family, who has nothing to do, is sitting in front of the window embroidering, the green silk is dragging the ground, the eyebrows are picturesque, the tulle is blown by the wind, and she is even more like a weak willow supporting the wind, and her posture is graceful.
Suddenly, as soon as Zhumen moved, the servant girl Xiaoxian probed in, the corners of her mouth bent, and the small pear vortex smiled: "Miss, it's late at night, go to bed early, and I'm going to visit the garden with Le Gongzi tomorrow." β
Hearing this, Su Luanyin smiled slightly: "If you don't say it, I almost forgot", raised her head and gave the embroidered handkerchief to Xiao Xian, and the tears under her clear and moving eyes became more and more delicate.
Xiao Xian sneered, knowing that Su Luanyin was shy, so she began to change Su She's clothes, and pretended to say casually: "I don't know when Young Master Le will come to propose to Miss, Xiao Xian has been looking forward to it for a long time." β
"You just want me to marry sooner, dead girl!"
Su Luanyin sat on the bed and deliberately said with a straight face.
Xiao Xian was not afraid, stepped forward and grabbed Su Luanyin's arm with a smile: "Miss, I didn't mean that, you and Le Gongzi are in love, talented and beautiful, it's a good thing to get married earlier." β
"Dead girl, you must have accepted Ah Heng's benefits to urge me to get married all day longββ"
After that, Su Luanyin was about to get up with a smile and beat her, Xiao Xian saw that careful thinking was discovered, and hurriedly ran away: "Miss, you go to bed early, I'll go to the door to guard." β
As soon as the Zhu door was closed, the boudoir was quiet again, and after a fuss from the small strings, Su Luanyin fell asleep and lay down on the brocade quilt, and she couldn't help but blush her cheeks.
She and Le Heng grew up together, childhood sweethearts, deep feelings, and the two families are world friends, so they naturally want to kiss each other, originally Le Heng had already proposed marriage, but it was all mixed up by his half-sister Le Guan'er.
Thinking of this, Su Luanyin was irritable.
Three days ago, Le Heng sent a letter to ask her to meet at Menglai Lake in Zhongcheng, but who knew that it was Le Guan'er who went to the appointment, she relied on Le Heng's pampering of her on weekdays to be unbridled, and actually asked Su Luanyin and Le Heng to cut it off, Su Luanyin only knew that Le Guan'er relied on her eldest brother, but she didn't expect that she had a male and female affection for Le Heng.
Because of this matter, Su Luanyin was unhappy, so she wanted to find an opportunity to make it clear to Le Heng, and it happened that Le Heng would ask her to visit the garden tomorrow, maybe she could tell Le Wan'er about it......
Half an hour later, the moon was haloed, deep clouds covered the sky, and raindrops quietly fell in the sky.
Su Luanyin on the bed was sleeping deeply, but he didn't know that the boudoir door opened softly, and a black-clothed masked man tiptoed into the cat, he was as long as a tree, tall and thin, and his eyes under the black cloth were cold and hot.
When he came to the bed, he squinted slightly, and his slender fingers gently touched the tear mole under Su Luanyin's left eye, and said with a smile: "The county lord of the Su family is really a flower and a moon, much more beautiful than those women in the palace." Unfortunately, today I am only interested in painting. β
The man reluctantly stepped out of the threshold, and flew up to the roof with a little footsteps, and he took out his carefully drawn map, and looked at it, looking in a southeasterly direction.
It was the Buddhist hall of Sufu, and there was a picture of "The Beauty Crying to the Moon" that the world was eager to see, and the man avoided the guards patrolling at night, jumped on a lush banyan tree, and quickly landed on the corridor of the Buddhist hall while no one was noticing.
The man successfully infiltrated the Buddha hall, in front of a statue of Guanyin, he saw at a glance the picture of "Crying Beauty to the Moon", the moon is bleak, the picture is plain, but there is a woman in black hair and green clothes weeping to the moon, although the woman is enchanting and charming, but because of the melancholy and sadness between the eyebrows, she has added a bit of weakness and delicateness, and she is an out-and-out stunner in the world.
It's a kind of soul-stirring and silent beauty.
The man was stunned unconsciously, until he felt a pain in his wrist before he reacted, it turned out that the candle flame in his hand had dropped a few hot candle tears, and his tiger's mouth burned a little black.
The hour was urgent, and there was no room for delay, the man quickly hung the scroll on his waist, and walked to the door lightly, opened a crack in the door, checked the movement in the yard, and after making sure that everything was safe, he stepped away as light as a swallow, and the cold air in the night rushed towards him, and his chest tingled.
As his movement became faster, the pain became more intense, and finally he had to stop at the door of Su Luanyin's boudoir, clutching his chest and vomiting blood, which happened to be hit by Xiao Xian, who came back from going to the toilet.
"Y-who are you? How could it be here! β
Xiao Xian saw that he was panting and bleeding, and his face turned pale with fright for a while, and the six gods had no master.
The man secretly screamed badly, his eyes were cold, he pinched the broken silver in his sleeve and flew out, Xiao Xian didn't have time to dodge, only felt that a powerful air flow hit his heart, and he fainted before he could speak.
Su Luanyin has always been very shallow in sleep, after hearing a "plop" sound outside the door, she woke up instantly, the candle flame in the room was blown by the wind and swayed, she sniffed the smell in the wind, and frowned violently: "Why does it smell of blood?" β
With a flash of light, she turned pale and rushed out barefoot.
As soon as the door opened, a man covered in blood grabbed her arm and pushed her in again, and the waist was cold against another dagger, her calves couldn't help but weaken, but she pretended to be calm and asked, "What do you want to do?" β
"I..."
As soon as the man spoke, he spat out two mouthfuls of blood, his body fell violently to Su Luanyin's body, and the dagger then fell to the ground with a cold sound.
Out of control, Su Luanyin kicked over, and quickly picked up the dagger as a defensive form, and the already physically exhausted man fell to the ground in an instant, he coughed painfully, and the dark red blood in his mouth flowed out of his mouth unfatally.
Su Luanyin saw that he had no power to fight back, so she relaxed her vigilance, she half-squatted down and looked at it carefully, suddenly frowned, and exclaimed, "It's Gu...... How did you get out of the trap... No, what the hell are you here for?! β
Su Luanyin grabbed the man's collar and asked angrily.
