Chapter 65: Into the Tiger's Den (2)

I didn't see anything last night, it turned out that in this valley, there was a cave behind the dense forest. In addition to the gorgeous residence of the lady of Wuyin, there are dozens of courtyards with carved cornices arranged among the tall pines and cypresses.

After a few turns to the south, Kuroko led me to a secluded place.

White stones, green trees, clear streams, ethereal and elegant, flying dust, and the gorgeous extravagance of Mrs. Wuyin just now is completely different, here is a fairy mansion.

"Mingyi-Mingyi-" Kuroko began to shout as soon as he entered the courtyard, and I quickly covered his mouth, for fear that he would disturb the celestial beings who lived here.

At this time, a clog suddenly threw out of the closed door, and I narrowly dodged it, Kuroko happily picked up the clog and said to me with a smile: "He's here, let's go in!" ”

I don't think any matter how young I am, I will never forget the shock I was when I first saw Ming Yi - he was dressed in green clothes and holding a scroll of books, lying on the bed obliquely, and a faint incense was burning in the bronze crane lotus furnace at his feet. In the curling smoke, his eyelids were lowered, and only a few strands of his long hair were gently resting on his shoulder sockets. The early morning sun cast a faint shadow on him, quiet, dusty, as if the world outside the window had nothing to do with him.

As we approached, the man looked up at me lazily, but the moment of the sight made me exclaim: Who is this? The beauty of Rusi is also!

I searched my mind for a long time, but I couldn't find a word to describe his beauty. Looking at his pair of radiant and affectionate eyes, I can't help but sigh that he must have been born to shame the women of the world!

"Girl, look at it again, he's going to be annoyed!" Kuroko bumped me on the shoulder and whispered.

I woke up from a dream and realized that it was rude for me to stare at a man like this, so I lowered my head and remained silent.

"You were planted in the hands of this girl?" Ming Yi lightly opened his lips, and his voice was like the wind passing through the pine forest, refreshing people's hearts.

"Hey, I regret I didn't listen to you sooner. Now that Madame has put my life in her hands, I have lost a lot of money when I go out this time! Kuroko sighed and sat down on the bed.

Ming Yi glanced at me with a slanted eye and said with a smile: "The little girl doesn't look like a vulgar thing, and it's not a shame for you to plant it in her hands." ”

"Speaking of which, I deserve to be unlucky as a vulgar thing."

"Madame kept her?" Ming Yi slowly re-rolled the book and sat upright.

"Stay, the Lord sent down a message yesterday, saying that she picked seven hexagrams."

"Oh?" Kuroko's words surprised Ming Yi very much, he raised his left eyebrow slightly, looked me up and down, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the thing!" ”

I looked at his long, slender, jade fingers and thought, what to take? Money?

I took a long time on my body and found that I had nothing to do except for the jasper ring that was close to me, so I could only reply embarrassedly: "I have no money." ”

As soon as I said this, Mingyi's face changed several colors in an instant, he pressed his forehead with a painful look, and the sunspot on the side was even more smiling and slammed the bed: "Hahahahaha, Mingyi asked someone for money?" Hahahaha......"

Seeing that he couldn't stop laughing, I slapped him on the back and shouted, "Stop laughing! If you don't make it clear, you can quickly get yourself a death medicine! ”

Kuroko gritted his teeth, took out a comb grate from his arms with a smile, took out a small clump of hair on it and handed it to Mingyi: "Hey, the thing is here, you can put it up!" ”

Ming Yi glared at him, turned over and got up from the bed, walked barefoot to the elevated shelf on the left side of the house, took the top brown locket, wrapped the broken hair in the box with a white silk handkerchief, and then said coldly: "Let's go, don't send it!" ”

Walking out of Mingyi's courtyard, I shook off Kuroko's hand and said angrily with a cold face: "I've been confused for so many days, and you have to explain it to me today no matter what!" ”

"Okay, okay, don't worry, don't worry, I'll say it slowly, I'll tell you everything." Kuroko sat down on the haystack by the roadside with Xiaoxiao, and explained everything about Tianshu to me.

Tianshu is a "shadow" that is active among the kingdoms of the world. For more than a decade, it has been taking in war orphans for their own use. The person in charge of Tianshu is the Lady Wuyin I just met, and as for the Lord, his whereabouts are uncertain, and it is said that the only people who have seen him are Lady Wuyin and Mingyi.

Under Mrs. Wuyin, there are eight courtyards with reference to the innate gossip, which are Qian, Kun, Li, Kan, Zhen, Xun, Gen, and Dui. Each hexagram corresponds to a skill, such as the hexagram corresponding to music and dance, and the courtyard is inhabited by beautiful women who can sing and dance; The hexagram corresponds to Wu Bu, and Ming Yi is the most noble and only sorcerer in Tianshu; The Gen hexagram corresponds to the warrior, and the grandmaster is responsible for training a boy like Kuroko; In addition, there are also the Kun hexagram responsible for practicing medicine and medicine, the Xun hexagram for training assassins, the Zhen hexagram for recruiting strategists, and the Kan hexagram for cultivating merchants.

"According to what you say, kidnapping and murder are all the work of Gen hexagrams? Then the person who asked you to kidnap Baili's Red Medicine this time is Mrs. Wuyin or the Lord? "I'm cautious of temptation.

"The work is taken by the merchants of the hexagram, and the people who work do it do not know who the customers are. Originally, the Gen hexagram only took the work of guards, and the murder was done by the Xun hexagram assassins. But all of their people went to Qi a few months ago, and the matter fell to Gen Hexagram. I saw a rare opportunity, so I wanted to make a start and make a contribution. I didn't expect to meet you girl, it's really unlucky! ”

Kuroko is still haunted by the fact that I lied to him. But what I thought to myself was that if Tianshu was a place where people could work for money, then the beast-faced man would probably be just one of Tianshu's many patrons. In this way, even if I enter Tianshu, it will be difficult to find clues related to him.

"Girl, what do you want? I've told you everything you need to know, so don't be angry. ”

"If you answer me one more question, I'll spare you." I turned my head to stare at Kuroko and said seriously.

"Okay, you ask! As long as I know, I will tell you. Kuroko grinned and patted his chest in reassurance.

"Why did you give my hair to Mingyi just now?"

"Uh, this ......" Kuroko hesitated for a moment, slurring, his eyes drifting.

"Speak quickly!"

"Tianshu has a rule, when you enter here, you have to leave a strand of hair at Mingyi's place. In this way, if someone wants to defect in the future, Mingyi can cast a spell to punish him. ”

"No wonder you urged me to comb my hair early in the morning, daring you to be calculating me!"

"Master, I'm also for your good, otherwise I will be cut by Mingyi, and I don't know how much of your beautiful hair will be left!" Kuroko flatteringly pinched the horn on my head.
