"I don't suspect anything, I just want to remind you that even if you take the Lord's token, even if you have the sunspot by your side, Tianshu is still a dangerous place for you."

"I know that." If Wuyin has the heart to monopolize the Tianshu, the appearance of me, an unfortunate guest, will naturally make her move. But after all these years, my impression of Mrs. Wuyin has faded. Back then, I was a captive brought into Tianshu by the Gen Lord Qi Yong, and she was a noble lady who controlled my life and death from above. I've lived in Tianshu for a few months, and I've only seen her three times. In my remaining memories, she was just a beautiful, full woman, like a red peony blooming in late spring, blooming to the extreme, but showing signs of withering in the brilliant shadows.

"What kind of person is Wuyin?" The cold night breeze mixed with the drizzle was blowing in my face, and I walked carefully beside Mingyi with a pottery lamp.

"She's a strange woman, every time you think you see her, but there's always another face behind her mask."

"I thought she was just a woman who liked power."

"If you really think like that, then death is really not far away." Ming Yi glared at me, "Wuyin's attempt to isolate the Zhao clan in vain to monopolize Tianshu will indeed make people have such an illusion. But if you think of her as a stupid and greedy person who only seeks power, you are very wrong. ”

"So what do you think I should do?" For a strange place, a strange opponent, I have no bottom in my heart.

"Wuyin is good to you, you have to try not to let her influence you and control you. If she does you evil, you must not scruple to offend her, because she is above you. ”

"I can't follow her, I can't go against her, fight with her on the one hand, and find a way to support the battle of Jinwei on the other, my good senior brother, what you gave me is really a good and simple errand." I smiled wryly at Mingyi.

"It's a shame for people who can't afford it. But for those who can afford it, isn't this a beautiful difference? Ming Yi raised the corners of his mouth at me, looking like you and I knew it.

Medicine Man...... Shirtless ...... Two reasons to support me to slay ghosts and gods, and move forward.

The drizzle of the night breeze accompanied us all the way, and when we reached the wooden house, I saluted Ming Yi, but he took out a palm-sized bag from his sleeve and handed it to me.

"This is for you, don't open it now, and when you can't stay in Tianshu anymore, open it again and take a look."

"That's why you're sending me back? It's good to ask Kuroko to bring it tomorrow morning, and ruin a good silk robe for nothing. "I took a pottery lamp and took a picture on the hem of Mingyi, and the silk silk that was originally embroidered with water ripples has been made unrecognizable by the muddy water and thorns on the road.

"Kuroko has itchy hands and a big mouth, if you have any secrets you want to tell someone, just tell him." Mingyi stuffed the bag to me, took the pottery lamp in my hand and turned around and left.

"Thank you for sending me back! I've accepted all your kindness! I looked at my back in the night rain and shouted.

"Take it, don't die there." Mingyi didn't look back, didn't stop, just waved the lamp and replied lightly.

After the rainy night, Heizi and I left Yunmengze early in the morning and went out to Huashan, where Tianshu was located.

Huashan is located on the border of Qin and Jin, thousands of miles away from the state of Chu. Although I slept all the way, day and night, it was more than half a month later when I arrived in Huashan.

On this day, the carriage traveled on a yellow mud path at the foot of Huashan Mountain, the dusty sunspot had been sleepy for a few days, I knelt beside him and looked at the narrower and narrower mountain road in the distance and the towering cliffs on both sides of the road couldn't help but sigh secretly, after so many years, I actually returned here. At the beginning, who would have thought that the girl who was caught by the sunspot and entered the Tianshu would one day become the main subject of the trigram? Who would have thought that a person who even dreamed of escaping from Tianshu would now travel without sleep just to send his freedom and life into the cage he once had.

On the way from Yunmengze to Huashan, I asked myself more than once whether I really wanted to return to that precarious life, and whether I was really ready for all the unpredictable dangers that were coming. The answer is no, I don't want to embark on a road full of thorns, and I am not prepared to meet the enemy. I came without hesitation, just because I didn't want Lu Guo's goodbye without saying goodbye to him to become the final ending for me and him, and I didn't want A-Niang's painful whispers to become a crazy woman's crazy words. Do what you have to do and love the people you want to love, even if the ending is not as good as you imagined. Ten years, twenty years, I'm still young, I can afford to wait, and I can afford to lose.

In the autumn of the fortieth year of King Zhou, I decided to make a big gamble with my youth.

"Ah Shi, there is an account ahead!" The dilapidated carriage shook abruptly on the rugged mountain road, and the yawning Kuroko struck a fierce spirit and tightened the reins of the horse.

I looked up, and the car had already driven into a cramped and deep canyon, and the dense pine forest in front of me was our first gate to Tianshu.

"The news that came out early should have been received by the people in Tianshu at this time, right?" I got up and asked Kuroko.

"That eagle was raised by Ming Yi himself, and it is a thief and fast. Mrs. Wuyin received the news, and now she has sent someone to welcome the new master into the valley. ”

Welcome me into the valley? I looked at the pine forest in front of me as high as the city wall and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this "tent" is like the gate of death row, and when the prisoner enters here, there is no way out.

"Kuroko, what do you say is wrong with this account, how can there be no dumb girl to guide the way to live and die in it?" I stared at the pine forest for a long time, and I really didn't understand why a mere forest could trap so many capable people and wise people in Tianshu.

"I don't know, brother, I've only known one thing over the years." Kuroko shouted and tried to slow down the two black horses pulling the cart.

"What?"

"You can't beat the idea of this account! Except for the mute girl who led the way, I hadn't heard of anyone getting out of the woods on their own for so many years. ”

"Is this forest really that weird? Or do you not dare to try it at all? ”

"Stinky girl, why do you think the trees here are so tall? It's all fed out of piles of human bones! If you want to live longer, be your boss honestly, don't always think about taking advantage of loopholes and running away! Kuroko bombarded my ear wildly, I covered his aching ear, and said angrily: "I know, I only asked two casual questions, you can't yell at me." ”

"Mingyi is right, people like you, you are bold, even if you are fifty years old, you are still a troublemaker!" Kuroko glared at me, and before the carriage could stop, he pulled the reins and jumped out of the carriage, "Alright, come down!" You wait here first, I'll come to you after hiding the carriage, and the person leading the way should be almost there. ”

"Oh." I got up, patted the yellow mud on the hem of my clothes, and jumped out of the car.

Kuroko trotted all the way to the place where the merchants usually parked their ox carts, and I walked alone outside the forest for a while, and when I saw that he had not returned for a long time, I walked a few steps into the forest with the trunk of the tree.

At this time, it was midday in the valley. The sky is high and the clouds are light, a warm sun is lazily shining in the air, and the sun is shining from the top of the tree among the dense pine forests, and the wisps are sandwiched in the middle of the canopy, revealing a bit of autumn tenderness in the silence.

What is the mystery behind this quiet and charming pine forest? If the five tones are difficult for me, how can I get out of it? I pinched the jade plaque that Beru hung around my waist and fell into deep thought.

"My grandma, told you not to go into the woods, why did you come in again!" Kuroko saw me from a distance outside the forest and rushed in screaming.

"I'm not going to go deeper, you don't have to be so nervous."

"Don't be nervous? I've been nervous for more than half a month, sir! If something goes wrong with you in Tianshu this time, how will I explain it to the Lord when I go back! Kuroko Tie blushed and pulled me out of the woods without saying anything.

"What did your lord tell you?"

"He asked me to watch over you every day, and if you lose a piece of meat, I'll have to go to him."

"Raise your head to see him? It's not like Berlu would have said that. I smiled and dragged Kuroko's hand to stop him, "The last time we both entered Tianshu was in the middle of the night, and I didn't pay attention to the road under my feet at that time, you said that if the dumb girl who led the way later could take me back and forth in the tent, then can I write down the route?" ”

"How is this possible?! A three-hour road back and forth, to say less, you have to take 10,000 steps, no matter how good your brain is, as long as you remember the wrong step, you still can't get out. ”

"It's true, it's not enough to walk back and forth...... Kuroko, how many times have you walked this way? ”

"Well, more than twenty times."

"How many times have you walked during the day?"

"A dozen times."

"How many forks in the road can you remember?"

"I don't remember any of them."

"Oh my God, you're so stupid!"

"Am I stupid?! To tell you the truth, all the trees in this forest have grown legs, and if it was you, I still don't remember! Kuroko dragged me all the way out of the forest, then shook off my hand and sat on a big rock at the edge of the forest to gasp for breath.

"Good brother, don't be angry, let me listen, why do the trees here walk?" I sat down next to him flatteringly.

"I'm so stupid, I don't know anything, you have to ask someone else!" Kuroko snorted, and no matter how much I asked, he didn't respond.

Thus we sat from noon to dusk, and from dusk to moonrise. Legend has it that the person sent by the Five Tones to "greet" me never appeared.

"Ah Shi, you said that Yi's eagle won't ask someone to hunt and eat halfway, right? Why hasn't anyone come to pick us up yet? Kuroko looked up at the half-moon above him, got up and paced in front of me.

"Wait, what comes will come. It's cold in the valley at night, so you better put on your clothes first! I took out a robe from my baggage and handed it to Kuroko, and then found a cape with a hat and tied it to myself.

"You've been more anxious than me along the way, why aren't you in a hurry now? We don't sleep like this night after night, isn't it just to get to Tianshu early! ”

"I came to Tianshu early so that I could deal with the matter of Jin Wei as soon as possible, but now the master of Tianshu is unwilling to let me enter the door, no matter how anxious I am, can I still burn the door of other people's houses with a fire? Okay, sit down and wait with me! Big deal, let's set up a shed tonight and we'll spend the night here. ”
