When those black clouds rolled over, Tian Xiao was hanging upside down on the cornices of the bell tower.

He twisted the head of the beast on the top of the eaves with his two feet, his body hanging upside down, and his waist leaned forward as far as he could.

This bell tower is very old, but compared to the Xianyang City at its feet, it is considered neat.

Those black clouds came together in all directions, accumulating thicker and thicker, and the black clouds were piled down deeply. The lower the pressure, the lower it is, like overturning a box of ink. The ink splashed into the sky, because of the wind, when it rained, it splashed wildly, turning into a ghostly, huge black dog.

The black dog sniffed down with a hairy, salty and fishy snort, sniffing at the Xianyang City below.

And Xianyang under his feet, after thousands of years, finally dilapidated. It was as if the children were playing with old wooden boxes in their hands, the corners were still there, the rules were out of order, the paint was withered, and they were pitifully fragmented.

This is the former capital of the Qin Dynasty?

There are still people in the bell tower.

There are two of them. Looking at the dress, one looks like a warden in the county, and the other looks like a village chief.

Today seemed to be an important day for them, so the two of them dressed up extraordinarily grandly.

But that grandeur is only the grandeur of a small place. The warden was thin and smooth like a board in the yamen, but his face was like the old drum skin knocked out at the yamen, and the two expressions of spit and inviolability were so wonderfully united.

Like the one who was older, he was dressed more fancy, and a silk shirt bloomed on him. That wealth is also the wealth draped on this loess plateau, like the costume on the stage, the pasted ceremonial staff, the happy event of the poor family, and the frame without confidence.

After the two of them climbed to the bell tower, after a while, the chief of the place was about to stretch the back of his silk shirt, and muttered, "Why hasn't Mr. Guo come yet?" ”

At last the warden was annoyed with the chatter, and only heard him say rudely: "You have read it a thousand and eight hundred times!" Who do you think other people are? Others are the origins of the Hongwen Museum! It is the private person of the old Wenge in the Wenhua Pavilion that the emperor also trusts! What do you think? Seeing you and me, it's worth his old man to wait for us first? It's so funny! ”

The squire was not annoyed, as if he was glad to have finally spoken to the unspeakable warden.

"So what is the origin of Hongbunkan? Is it so important to have anyone in the museum? He has no official position. ”

The warden was a little impatient and a little ostentatious: "You don't know this, do you?" The imperial court took care of all the characters in the rivers and lakes who were in the opposition and did not enter the control of the Wuying Palace. If nothing else, let's just say that they have collected all the major sects and families on the rivers and lakes that are willing to be subject to their control. In today's rivers and lakes, there are many sects, but in addition to Shaolin 'Shuimutang' and Wudang's 'Dabeicang', they can also support themselves a little, and how many of them are not under the jurisdiction of Hongwenguan and Wuyingdian? Anyone who is on the list of dragons and tigers is on the top of the list, and he can directly enter the deacon of Wuying Palace, which is the right path for everyone in the rivers and lakes to envy. Although Mr. Guo Qianting does not have an official title, he is the most powerful staff member of the Wen Pavilion who is in charge of the Hongwen Pavilion. It's not so easy to see him as an idle in-service third-grade officer. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the squire: "Ancient, if you don't tell the family tree, for the sake of your distant relatives who can't fight with that ancient cedar, how can this Mr. Guo see you?" ”

The squire smiled and said, "It's all those children who don't grow up." They all only said that the ancient family of the stele shop has always had withered connections, and they have never refused to study and come from the right path, and they have always looked down on others and refused to be close to him. Now you do what I said, right? Be kind! How could they have gotten my nephew, surnamed Gu...... is so competitive, all the giant clans in Shannan and Haibei are in love with him, not to mention the favor of the imperial court. ”

When he said the words "nephew surnamed Gu", he saw the warden smile slightly, and his tone was a little empty. Thinking about it, I also know that although the two families have the surname Gu, the previous generation seems to have some relationship, but in fact, there is no joint ancestry, even this generation is also estimated by him to be virtual.

The warden patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said kindly: "Our Xianyang City has an ancient young master, that is really the blessing of our Xianyang City." Ancient, you will climb this family in the future, but you can't forget each other if you are rich, don't forget to bring your little brother. ”

Tian Xiao, who was on the eaves outside, heard the conversation between the two in the building, and couldn't help but pay attention. He has always been far away from the rich and powerful, and when he listened to the conversation between the two people, he couldn't help but sigh: Although the ancient cedar is famous, it is calculated by these villains all day long, and he may not be very happy when he thinks about it.

Just as he was thinking, his ears pricked up, and he faintly heard something. The body shrank suddenly, and as soon as it hid, it hid to the bottom of the eaves, and even breathed carefully.

He heard the faint sound of footsteps. The person who walked walked and breathed, and people knew that he was a master who could not be ignored. Over a Thousand Courts - Then come to think of it, it is a thousand courts, and there are really thousands of courtyards walking in the breath, and the bearing of passing by in an instant.

Tian Xiao couldn't breathe and calm down, so as not to be discovered. He peeped through the cracks in the tiles, but saw a man walking up to the bell tower. The man was more than thirty years old, with a pale face and clean clothes, like a gentleman.

Seeing that the warden had already given a salute, he called out first: "Mr. Guo." ”

The squire next to him was also busy giving gifts.

But I heard Mr. Guo laugh and say, "This is ancient? ”

A pair of fine eyes open and close, shrewd and looming.

Although his tone was polite, he had a sense of affinity deliberately pretended to be by a person in a high position. Tian Xiao secretly "bah", but the warden and the squire were very fond of this, and their faces showed flattered looks.

But I saw Mr. Guo reach out and touch his sleeve, groaned, and found a Cambodian envelope. Then he handed it to the squire and said, "Brother first came to Xianyang, but he had to bother the ancient generation to pass on a sticker to Brother Gushan. It is said that it has been famous for a long time, and it is very thirsty to see it. ”

said and paused: "Also, it's this competition to summon relatives, I think I know about it, right?" ”

The squire nodded hurriedly before he was about to reply, and Mr. Guo had already said: "Ancient will explain to Brother Gu Shan, this is also a little bit of excitement added to Brother Gu after the old man Wen Ge was invited by everyone in the rivers and lakes to go to the imperial court." I also know that Brother Gushan has always been simple by nature, and he doesn't love these virtual and lively people, so I hope he doesn't take responsibility. This is even older than the matter of summoning relatives, and I will talk to Brother Gushan in detail. Our Hongwen Pavilion is now involved in its affairs, but it is also the high hopes of the families of the rivers and lakes, and the grand intention of the imperial court, I hope that he will not refuse. ”

Tian Xiao on the eaves of the tower couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: Why, this is such a boiling and anti-Yingtian competition, I can't wait to have nearly a thousand characters in the rivers and lakes, I can't wait to overturn half of Xianyang City, so many daughters have rushed over, and that Gushan still doesn't know?

But I heard Qianting smile and said: "No matter how you say this, it is up to heaven to hear." If the ancient ones can't be done well, I'm afraid it won't be easy to speak. Although Brother Gu Shan is very proud, why should he take care of his clansmen? Even if it's a distant branch. He has to go out of Jiayuguan every year, and go to the Caohai Shayuan in Xinjiang to rest assured, we all know these things, and we have never disturbed him. I only heard a report from someone two days ago, and he just came back recently. Don't delay in the ancient, it's better to go to the monument shop now. ”

The squire's face turned pale, and he had no time to speak. But I saw that Mr. Guo's face clearly looked like the conversation had ended. He was stunned, answered, confessed, and couldn't guess the mechanism inside, so he retreated in confusion.

Before he left, he heard Qianting say to the warden: "How is the matter that I asked you to investigate?" ”

The warden said respectfully: "I have checked it down." Indeed, those villagers in the suburbs of Siwang Township say that these days, they hear a crazy woman singing in the suburbs of Siye. I can't hear anything clearly, and I can't see her people, but I haunt the area of Siwang Township. ”

Guo Qianting's face was gloomy, looking at the black clouds outside the building, and he snorted to himself: "It was she who caused it back then, and now, with my Hongwen Pavilion coming forward, does she still want to come out and make trouble?" ”

There was silence in the bell tower for a while.

The face of Guo Qianting not only made the warden, but also Tian Xiao secretly see it, and he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.

I saw Qianting pacing to the edge of the window, touching the window lattice with his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his head.

Tian Xiao looked at him curiously - with Tian Xiao's background, there were few opportunities to deal with such a person, and behind this person was the court that Tian Xiao had been unable to understand for a while, which seemed to be bloated and useless, and seemed extremely powerful for a while. Those who mingle in it, all with their hands and eyes in the sky, can at once turn the whole system into bloated and useless at the thought of rentier and greed; But once they think about the repression, their hands are heavy, and they will immediately show a powerful and incomparably powerful force.

But when he saw Qianting's complexion suddenly changed slightly, he waved his hand and said to the warden: "You go quickly, the person I made an appointment is coming." ”

Tian Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, what kind of person is it, who actually makes a character like Guo Qianting can't help but be shocked when he mentions it?

The warden retreated to the bell tower, and Tian Xiao heard a loud "bang", which was so loud that there was a sudden silence in the four corners after the ringing.

Tian Xiao hurriedly poked his eyes into the bell tower, but saw that the window behind the bell tower had been knocked open, and a huge black coffin-like thing rushed straight into the bell tower. On closer inspection, the coffin lid turned out to be not made of wood, but actually a paper kite. It's just that it's too similar, and the color is just right, like a heavy sandalwood coffin lid.

There was also a woman sitting on the paper kite. The woman was also dressed in black, and her figure was petite and delicate. It's just that her black clothes are different from the paper kite under the seat, although they are both black, they are faintly glowing, like the feathers on the neck of a pigeon, and there is a flowing blue and purple halo hidden in the deep color.

The paper kite statue broke through a door of time, and behind it, the sky bloomed at the hole that opened. It suddenly appeared, smashing the lattice, but then, time seemed to slow down all around it, and the broken lattice, the paste, seemed to stop in the air, and then slowly dispersed in all directions.

The woman's appearance began with a loud noise, and then appeared in the strange slow fall of shredded paper and broken wood. I saw that the black veil was fluttering on her face, and the black veil was woven with gold, silver, and multicolored threads, but together, it was still black.

All around, the shredded paper was scattered, almost silent, but like the paper money that fell in the wilderness when a team of coffins passed by.

Guo Qianting sighed softly: "Every time you show up, do you have to make such a loud noise?" ”

He frowned slightly, a little pretentious, and a little flattering.

Tian Xiao felt that under his frame, there was indescribable caution and precaution.

With the identity of Guo Qianting, it is difficult for a person to make him appear to please in a way that is not joking, let alone secretly tell him to be so cautious and vigilant?

Tian Xiaoden couldn't help but be curious about the woman.

- Who is she?

But the woman smiled sarcastically. The laughter was like a handful of rock candy falling brightly from the poppy flowers where it fell, and her laughter was colored.

Her body trembled lightly with laughter, and even the paper coffin under her seat swayed lightly.

- Who is this woman?

I only heard her smile and said, "I just think it's fun." ”

Guo Qianting smiled and said, "It's fun if you say it's fun." ”

There was a mixture of indulgence and flattery in his tone when a man like him faced a noble woman whom he had to respect.

I saw him smiling: "But, in the face of a boring old man like me, I don't understand the amorous feelings, but it's also quite beautiful, right?" ”

The woman wrinkled her nose, her nose pointed and cocked, faintly clinging to the veil, which trembled slightly, and fanned out as if she were panting beside you.

I only heard her say: "You don't give me some idle eggs." Say, you didn't hesitate to send out the old man to kill the six soldiers, and even the old heavenly eunuch who deposed the heavenly master launched it for you, what is the matter with forcing me to come out? ”

When Tian Xiao heard this, her heart couldn't help but tug slightly, although her tone was disrespectful, she mentioned some top characters.

Guo Qianting smiled and said, "Nothing else, I just want to be a matchmaker for you." ”

The woman grinned.

Guo Qianting smiled: "Miss Ah wants to come or sister-in-law alone, right?" Although, according to rumors, you have been married many times. Whenever you see a beautiful young man, kill them so that they can sleep in the same coffin as you. But it is said that as soon as you put them in the coffin, you have exhausted your appetite, and you don't want to go in and sleep with them again. Life is not the same as death, a girl is a maverick, but she is full of the world's beard and eyebrows, what is the appetite? ”

He joked, and then said half-seriously, half-jokingly: "But this time, the person I introduced will definitely not let you lose your appetite." ”

"Who?"

The woman's eyebrows were raised, and the tulle on her face was slightly upturned.

Her behavior is itchy, and Tian Xiao really hates it, and she can't wait to lift her veil to take a look.

Guo Qianting deliberately muttered.

After a long time, he spit out two words lightly: "Gu Shan." ”

Tian Xiao knew that it was only at this time that he got to the point.

Seeing that the woman didn't speak, Guo Qianting smiled and said: "We know that Miss A regards money as dung, and she is afraid that she will not be impatient to take care of the makeup and miscellaneous things, so we Wen Ge Lao is willing to give ten loads of pearls, a thousand coffins in Nan, nine thousand brocades, and a year's worth of jade in Yunnan?" ”

Tian Xiao was already on the eaves, and his jaw was about to fall. He knew that this was not an ordinary matchmaker, but a transaction, but he didn't expect the price offered by Hongwenguan to be so high. It was obvious that the woman did not speak, and she was moving her heart with her wealth.

The woman did not speak.

Guo Qianting sighed: "Miss Ah is still too little...... In this way, I will make a false promise, and I will be responsible for convincing Wu Yingdian to return all the Sichuan Zhongyu to you? ”

The woman's eyes moved slightly, but she still didn't speak.

Guo Qianting muttered, "It's hard to say. Miss A also knows that we are always worried about Miss A's family affairs, so it can be regarded as a family. What's more, there is also the jade color of the ancient cedar known as 'Xianyang Jue'. A person like him, guaranteed to be placed in a Nanmu coffin before and after death, is thousands of times stronger than men in the world. That body of muscles and bones, it is said that everyone will be tempted when they see it. I know that Miss A doesn't want to agree, but I just know that even if Gu Shan knows that Miss A has these little marriages, plus Miss A's family background, and such a beautiful reputation, she may not be tempted. That's why you are silent, right? ”

There was a slight hint of ridicule in his tone, but he had already used the method of sending generals as well as agitating them.

But the woman was still unmoved.

Guo Qianting only took the toe of one foot and swiped straight on the ground, paddling around, but he refused to speak again, as if his hole cards had been exhausted.

After enduring it for a moment, the "girl" smiled and said, "Don't pull your mother's fart for me." This little thing just wants to make me tempted? Don't play with me, let me ask you, what should I do with the witches and immortals, what conditions do you give me? ”

The two of them had already entered the alley at this time. Tian Xiao was stunned when he heard this, what "witch" and "immortal"? Could it be......

But I heard Qianting laugh and said: "The Ba people are heavy ghosts, the Chu people are heavy witches, and the Shu people are heavy immortals." The disputes between the three sects outside this world are no better than those of the family sects in the turbid world, how can our Hongwen Pavilion interfere? ”

Miss A sneered: "You have always interfered less? In a word, I don't care what method you use when you hear the old man, at least within a year, I want to ask those bastards who killed the six soldiers and the dethroned heavenly master to stop monitoring my Beiyu Mountain, I want to return to Xudu, and in the future, you are not allowed to care about all the things between me and those Chu Wu Shu immortals. ”

Guo Qianfan didn't speak for a while, groaned and scratched the ground with his toes, and only after a long time did he spit out a word: "Good!" ”

Then he smiled and said, "I'm overstepping my authority." But for the sake of Miss A's happy events, you should do your best. In this way, Miss A is willing to marry, right? ”

Miss A sneered: "Marry a fart!" ”

Then a pair of eyes swept coldly, and said angrily: "Don't talk to me, thinking that I don't know what you are planning." His ancient family has stood in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years since Luo and Yi were back then, and no one dared to disturb them. You have to do it this time. Others only said that you are because of the legend that he fell in love with Chi Muqing's little girl, and I was afraid that he would be involved with the evil emperor, and you would be in big trouble in the future, so you made such a ridiculous fight. Let me uncover your skin, don't think that I don't know the details of this because I've been free from the depravity for a long time. What you're afraid of is drama Qin! In today's rivers and lakes, Ju Qin was forced by you to be like Xiang Yu, embattled, and people all over the rivers and lakes heard it, and no one dared to deal with them. But what makes me look up to this kid Gushan is: I know, he dares! In the past few years, isn't it because of his support that Ju Qin has been able to stay up? You think I'm a fool? The old man of the Light Evil Emperor, his kung fu is high, but his subordinates are too miscellaneous, he is also impatient with general affairs, and the organization is extremely bad, where are you afraid of him? What you're afraid of is drama Qin! What's even more afraid is that the drama Qin and the evil emperor, who you have always regarded as the thorn in the eye, are connected through the ancient cedar, so don't pull your fucking eggs for me! ”

She was still talking there, Tian Xiao was on the eaves, but she was already stunned like thunder and lightning!

- Jianghu!

If nothing else, just what the woman said is the real rivers and lakes!

Tian Xiao has been in exile since he was a child, and he can be regarded as entering this so-called "rivers and lakes" very early.

But only he knows that the rivers and lakes that people all over the world are noisy and shouting, used to brag and fantasize are actually real rivers and lakes?

Shaolin's "Shuimutang"? Wudang's "Great North Warehouse"? Three "Jin Ancestral Hall"? Ruyang Palace? Green Target Mountain......

How can these so-called "Jianghu people" recite the real rivers and lakes? They have long been integrated into the system of the imperial court, and in the big test in three years, a dragon and tiger list has already recruited all the current figures. Even their exam questions are not out of the category of "Wu Bagu" that they have set up above.

It's just that some sects grind and bend, cut and cut, and then polish carefully, bend their nature, get some so-called talents, and then hand them over to the place where the system is complete, and let them rot and run out.

This is an old world, the only rule in the old world is interest and stability, the so-called "fifty can eat meat", the society that everyone admires and desires in this world is just a society that "fifty can eat meat". Therefore, what they fear most is the lack of youth and strength, they first use the teachers and professors of various sects to recruit young children to cut it down, and then use the whole court system to dissipate it. This is the so-called court event of the thousand courts.

And drama Qin is different!

Ju Qin, that is the only person in the rivers and lakes that Tian Xiao admires.

He was born into a fallen people, rose up, and was defeated and defeated repeatedly. It seems to come from the primordial wilderness, with the same strong power as a giant in the wild. Why, Gu Shan still has a deal with him?

For a while, Tian Xiao was a little envious of Gu Shanlai for the first time in his mind.

He remembered that when it came to the Dragon and Tiger List, he heard someone tell him a story, saying that it was a system formulated from the time of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. ”

- What is the hero in a jar still called, and what is the name of the rivers and lakes tossed in a small yellow soup can, Tian Xiao has always despised this rivers and lakes.

Only, only the ghosts of the Ba people, Chu Wu, and Shu immortals who are not in it...... Drama Qin, Evil Emperor...... even Wen Ge Lao, the Heavenly Master, and the six warriors were killed...... Now we can't even include the kid who entered Gushan, these few people who can be free on their own can constitute the real rivers and lakes in Tian Xiao's mind!

And the impact from the "rivers and lakes" was so great that Tian Xiao could no longer control himself, and his body trembled like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child when he was excited.

Who was in the bell tower, just by this little bit of control, they had already found out.

With a "boom", the paper coffin where the woman was sitting suddenly rushed out of the eaves, and the big sleeves of the thousand courts waved, and the work of "talking about the situation with the sleeves" had been started, and Tian Xiao hit the eaves together.

Both of these are unique masters in the world.

Tian Xiao was shocked, but fortunately, he still had the "Five Escapes" passed on to him by his master.

I saw that others retreated gently, like cicadas shedding, and people had come out of their clothes.

But the force of that pinching attack was so great that he still injured Yu Feng with a stagger, and he could barely control his "Five Escapes" technique. Tian Xiao left a cicada-skin-like dummy to confuse the opponent, turned around and fled as if he was desperate!

The spring barren outside Xianyang City, on the vast loess plain, there are deep ditches washed out by rainwater everywhere.

Next to the deep ditch, the mounds stood so lonely. The cliff bank is steep, and the trees on the cliff are lonely. And a little bit of dust-covered green can't stop the endless yellow.

Tian Xiao followed a few figures, rushing among the yellows.

- The reason why he followed those dozen people in a hurry was because Mr. Guo of Hongwenguan had sent his "dog teeth" under his command.

Tian Xiao has heard of the fame of this person in Guo Qianting. In this world, isn't it true that the more people who can laugh and kill invisibly, the more famous they are?

And the word "dog teeth" is terrifying on the rivers and lakes, they should be the killers of Hongwenguan. They got their name because of the name of the weapon they used. It was not an ordinary sharp weapon, but a generation of strange soldiers who were forged in the "Guanyi Furnace" by the "Sui Han" Han family who took out their skills of pressing the bottom of the box with the casting skills of the owner of the "Casting Hate Building".

Tian Xiao knew that they were tracking the Mad Throat Girl.

Because Guo Qianting gave an order, he ordered his subordinates to cut off the annoying woman.

The people in "Dog Teeth" use the technique of hunting dogs and rabbits.

Tian Xiao embellished them, and didn't want to find out for them, but it was also a big bother. Fortunately, the first master he learned was good at the art of five escapes. Along the way, Tian Xiao covered himself with the loess, and he barely followed him.

It is estimated that the news from the spies is that the Mad Throat Girl haunts the vicinity, so the "Dog Teeth" people are galloping around the radius of several miles. Their tracking skills are very skillful, Tian Xiao only saw one or two people in their team coming out from time to time, standing on a high place, shrugging their noses and sniffing.

- He knew that was their "smelling" technique.

In addition to tracking, he did not forget to have fun, and he also had to learn from the "dog's teeth" to shrug out a nose, sniff in the east and sniff in the west. But he couldn't smell the legendary human smell, only smelled: spring is coming......

Even if it is late, even if the pace is slow, even if the loess plateau refuses to welcome this inevitable spring, it still makes Tian Xiao smell its news in the wind. In that news, there is the snickering of elm buds, the greenness of wheat grass, the sweetness of jujube flowers in the distance, the heating of the river, and the snorting of cows and horses......

Tian Xiao only felt happy, in this battle of swords, after all, that spring could not be stopped.

Suddenly, there was a burst of "babbling" singing in the distance.

The singing voice is not a word, just a random snort. Listening to people are relaxing, as if a person is lazy in the twilight of spring, seeing the green of the stars, and singing casually in the sleepy eyes.

But then, the voice suddenly pulled out a high tone, like a tightrope thrown into the air, as if a person was snorting in the dust, suddenly woke up, suddenly couldn't restrain himself, like a kite, he wanted to fly his soul, let go of all the love, hatred, pain, and entanglement of thoughts in life, and put it in the sky, so that he could take it seriously and look at it clearly and clearly from a distance.

But as soon as the voice reached the sky, the singer seemed to be stupid, and he was shocked that the feelings in his heart were so real and persistent - humming is not playful, and singing is loud. The voice rises higher and higher, as if the singer is suffering from the past, the pain of today, the emptiness of his life and the stupidity of this life, the cowardice of this shore and the longing of the other shore, all cause love.

She wanted to let go of it, let the soul fly out of the sky, never take it back, let this body fall into the dirt, turn into rotten mud, willingly, and send this life to the middle; But he was no longer reconciled, and he was no longer willing to cut the string of the kite, as if he was far away from the only good thing in his life......

It seems that the nickname is real, even if there are no words in the song, the song is crazy. What cannot be tolerated in the world is wrapped in such a painful sadness and shocking beauty in life......

That's really, a "crazy throat".

Tian Xiao was startled when he saw the people in the "dog teeth" from a distance, they were sniffing by the wind. The song penetrated into their nostrils like an invisible tightrope, throbbing through their long-numb brains, and throbbing their bodies like a sheep's madness.

But they were only stunned for a moment, and the duty they had had borne awakened them, and then they rushed to the place where the song began!

Tian Xiao was anxious, he originally came to save the imaginary woman. His body sank, and he hurried to get ahead of the "dogs".

But he also has to hide his body so that he will not be discovered by the people in the "dog teeth".

I saw his head and face shrink, and his body turned into an earthy color through the technique of "five escapes", and rushed forward in the loess plateau. Fortunately, in "Dog's Tooth", people have attracted all the attention of the song, and they do not pay attention to behind them.

The target of the "dog's teeth" was immediately present, and it was immediately rounded up. Their round-up skills were extremely skillful, and they saw that the dozen or so figures immediately separated. for the song began to be ethereal. They only outflanked the whole piece of land that was placed in a circle of two miles, and then a little bit of rope.

Tian Xiao was anxious, anxious to discover the singer's hiding place first. The singer seemed to be aware of the danger she was in, and her singing voice suddenly became in a trance, drifting in all directions, east, west, north and south, as if she wanted to break through the encirclement of the dog's teeth through the singing. Then with a sudden, the singing suddenly stopped.

The wilderness that had stopped singing suddenly lost its last bit of humanity, and the empty wasteland showed its cruel silence, which weighed down people's hearts to be barren.

But at the moment when the song stopped, Tian Xiao suddenly discovered the singer's hiding place. It turned out that she was right next to him. There was a mound, not far from Tian Xiao's side, and there was a small mound, on the side of the mound. The hole was dark, not deep, but it seemed to be tolerant. Tian Xiao quietly stepped forward, and suddenly, he saw a pair of eyes in that hole!

But the "dogs" also seemed to have discovered it, and they whistled to each other, and they had rushed to this side from a distance.

Tian Xiao's body moved, and he accepted the "Five Escapes" technique, and then blocked the entrance of the cave with his back. He couldn't hide it, he threw some dust on his body, tore his hair apart, smeared his face, folded a blade of grass, and blew it in his mouth.

This was a trick he had been playing since he was a child, but at one point, a cow mistakenly thought it was his master's summons, and came over in three steps and two steps.

Tian Xiao's blades of grass blew well. The cow drew nearer and nearer, listened, and lay down two feet in front of him.

Tian Xiao saw that the person in the "dog teeth" was getting closer and closer, and the murderous aura was gradually condensing all around. Although he was worried just now, he was mostly worried about the danger of the singer, but now he realized that he had fallen into this danger with himself.

With his instinct as a martial arts practitioner, he clearly felt that with that murderous aura, even if he could escape, it would be difficult to escape with one person again.

After a while, the people in the "dog teeth" had gathered in front of Tian Xiao. They saw a country boy blowing blades of grass, and the lying cow looked at them with half curiosity. One of the "Dogs" asked, "Boy, have you seen a woman singing with her throat crazy?" ”

Tian Xiao stopped blowing Qin in a panic. Raising a stained face, he looked at the questioner with his mouth open, and for a long time he made a little sound with a "babbling" in his mouth, and pointed to his ear with one hand.

The person who asked the question couldn't help but be angry when he saw it, and the person next to him laughed and said, "It turned out to be a dumb person." ”

"Not only dumb, but also deaf."

Tian Xiao deliberately wanted to dress up more likely, dancing with his hands, and a line of saliva unconsciously flowed from the corners of his mouth.

When they saw him like this, they went away. The leader was silent, only to see him meditate, and suddenly waved his hand: "No, I think the rhyme of the song just now came from here!" ”

The canine was silent.

Tian Xiao panicked, but saw that the leader of the man was blazing, and he pressed towards himself: "Boy, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid with me." Say, "Who have you seen?" ”

Tian Xiao was about to answer, and he didn't know how to deceive, but when he saw that the man's body suddenly shook, Tian Xiao instinctively wanted to hide, but immediately thought that if he hid, the hole behind him would be exposed, so it was clear that he wanted to do it with the other party, but he was really not sure that he could deal with the "canine tooth file" in the hands of these dozen people.

But he saw that the figure was not lying to himself, but to the cow.

The cow was pitiful, and the man struck out quickly, and broke off the horns alive.

The cow screamed in pain, and bounced up like crazy, and the blood on its head was so thick that it jumped in place.

Tian Xiao was furious in his heart: He was so ruthless to a beast who couldn't speak!

The leader casually threw the bloody horn to a person beside him, and the man understood, turned his hand, and took out a strange-looking blade, and only a piercing noise was heard in the air, and the stiff horn was crushed into powder by the inexplicable weapon in the man's hand!

Tian Xiao couldn't help but be shocked: It's really a canine tooth file that lives up to its reputation! It's no wonder that after a giant Kou Geng Ya'er escaped under it, he still had a changed tone when he mentioned it.

The "dogtooth" had a cruel smile on his face, "Now you stand up for me and take off your pants." God knows what the crazy throat girl looks like, maybe it's this dirty ugly boy, she doesn't look like a woman at all, otherwise how would Gu Shan withdraw her kiss? I'm going to see if there's anything hidden behind you, too. ”

Tian Xiaoyi gritted his teeth.

Since his debut, because he has never really had anything to compete with others, he has rarely fought directly with others, and today it seems that it is inevitable.

He was deciding how to play stupid and hurt a few of them first, and then wait for an opportunity to escape with the singer. At this moment, right in front of him, in the distance, there was a sudden burst of singing.

The people in "Dog Teeth" were stunned, this was clearly the singing they began to hear!

This time, the singing voice actually has words, and it seems to have a plan to rush straight to this side. The beginning of the song is like the sky behind the people standing in those "dog teeth".

The voice of the song is very strange, empty and desolate, and it is very unusual to tune it together, and it makes people feel uncomfortable for a while, and it seems to be easy to block.

Tian Xiao listened attentively, but heard the female voice singing high and low:

……

Blue sky, gray blue,

white clouds pale;

Xianyang is black,

The soil is charred and yellow;

……

Tian Xiao looked at the sky behind the "Dog Teeth" and the song, and saw that the thick black clouds above his head had faded to the horizon, and it was a thin shade of blue gray.

But the voice suddenly rose up, like a longing, like a dream, if unwilling to be bland, like thinking of glory:

……

And you are proud,

The wind and bones are clear,

In vain,

Do you feel lonely?

……

The last question suddenly stirred up, pumping people's hearts high, and it was as if they had fallen to a very low place, falling into the abyss.

Tian Xiao was touched by the song, and couldn't help but meditate on its lyrics at the swaying end of the song:

…… Blue sky, gray blue,

The white clouds are pale,

Xianyang is black,

The soil is charred and yellow;

And you are proud,

The wind and bones are clear,

In vain,

Can you feel lonely......

Who is she singing? But is that the ancient cedar? The ancient cedar who has retired from her?

Even if he has withdrawn from his relatives and broken the thread, why is he still so anxious, thirsty, and at the same time salivating and desolate to sing him again?

Everyone in "Dog's Teeth" felt that the voice was coming from behind them, and they didn't say a word, but they threw themselves and rushed towards the beginning of the song.

Only Tian Xiao knew that although the voice came from outside, the singer was actually behind him.

Have you ever seen the face of a woman who can sing with her throat insane?

——It wasn't until the figure in the "Dog Teeth" was already slim that Tian Xiao turned around and saw the face.

Her singing voice was crazy, but her countenance was calm. She opened her mouth slightly, but her upper and lower lips did not touch. The song came straight out of his throat, as if he were spitting out his heart. She had a scar on her face that ran diagonally. The scar was extremely long, cutting across her entire face, and the knots of the scar were tightly constricted, like eternal silence and eternal silence.

She is still singing strangely, she wants to confuse the people in the "Dog Teeth", to lead them further.

It wasn't until she was sure she was okay that she emerged from the little hole in the dirt. The cow outside the cave was still screaming in pain. There were heavy clouds of lead in the sky, and the cry of the ox echoed in the narrow space between the clouds and the dust, and it was particularly harsh.

Tian Xiao saw her walk up to the cow, take out a porcelain bottle from her arms, crush it with her fingers, and sprinkle the medicine powder on the cow's wound.

Then I saw that the wound on the broken horn suddenly released a cloud of red smoke. The bull howled in pain, and rushed straight up, jumping several feet high, and after hitting the ground, it bounced and fell again. After two bounces like this, he fell to the ground with convulsions and passed out.

But she heard the woman whisper to the ox at her feet, "Pain, pain!" When I woke up from this painful dream, the wound was scabbed. Then, numb, shut up, and you will no longer scream in pain, and you will never feel pain again. ”

When she gently crushed the egg-thin porcelain vase, a little blood came out of her fingers.

The blood dripped in the yellow dust. She stood dazed, her fingers gently caressing the scar on her face with the blood, and whispered: "But, why have I used so many so-called 'breath red', but the wound that has already been scarred will still tear, still feel pain, or can't help singing?" ”

There was a hint of self-harm in her voice.

Tian Xiao looked at the strange woman in front of him in a daze. Although she has a scar on her face, this does not prevent Tian Xiao from feeling the unique charm on her body, which is far from the taste of a daughter wrapped in ordinary fat powder, hairpin rings, and Qiluo in this world, which is actually no different from each other.

He looked at her as if for the first time in his life he had seen a little wild beauty in this desolate world.

What's going on with her and Furusugi? Her songs, and his beatings; Why is her madness singing about his pride......

Tian Xiao is really becoming more and more curious about Gu Shan-he has long been accustomed to this mediocre world. Sadness and laughter, **entanglement, those foams that float on the surface of life, like the greasy stains on the edge of the bathtub, and the troubles of life are more like a pile of dirty clothes on the floor that can't be washed. But is there really such a first-line legend in this mediocre world?

Tian Xiao looked at her, only to feel that a legendary shadow opened a crack in front of him.

But I heard the mad-throated woman whisper: "You too...... Jianghu people? ”

Tian Xiao nodded.

He suddenly remembered his famous sentence a few days ago, "The rivers and lakes are just footbaths." ”

The mad-throated woman glanced at him in surprise, and her expression was quite bosom friend.

"Why did you save me?"

Tian Xiao was stunned, yes, why?

But the woman smiled softly and shallowly:

"Is it because of Furusugi?"

Tian Xiao talked about Gu Shan when she heard her words, and a depression instinctively rose in her heart, but if you think about it carefully, there are really some yes.

He was so curious that he couldn't help but ask directly, "I want to hear the story of you and Gu Shan." ”

I saw that the woman smiled slightly, and there was a little transcendent pride on her face.

"My story with him? What is the story between me and him, he has never even met me in person. ”

She raised her head and thought for a moment, "If there is anything in common between us, it's just that we both come from a very old family. ”

paused: "Also, we are actually not Jianghu people." ”

With that, she fell into a long silence. Tian Xiao thought that she would never speak again, but then she suddenly said slowly: "Their family, Shixu Qinghua, in the eyes of outsiders, how to get rid of it and be noble, in fact, it has been passed down from generation to generation, but it is just a key keeper." ”

"Keykeeper?"

Tian Xiao was stunned, what does that mean?

The mad-throated woman seems to have not spoken to anyone for a long time, and when she talks about it next, she talks for a long time. But between her words, she stumbled so jerkyly, like pebbles, constantly beating her teeth.

"Keykeeper, you don't know? This is a secret in the rivers and lakes. He was born to keep a secret, and he was born only to keep a secret, a great secret to outsiders. ”

Tian Xiao couldn't help but be curious anymore, and wanted to hear her continue.

The Mad Throat looked at him for a moment, as if wondering if she should tell him these words, and then, she couldn't help but fall into her own statement.

"This secret has been carried by their Xianyang ancient family and Chang'an Feng family from generation to generation since their mother's womb, and they have always kept it together."

"We are two of us, guarding the same key together. Therefore, we are married in the world. Since I was very young, I knew that in every generation of our Feng family, there will definitely be a girl who will marry into the Xianyang Gu family. Only she will be regarded as a superfluous member of the Feng family. The daughter who married out was really like water spilled, and it was difficult to see her again. It's a longed-for and terrifying mission. Because, when we talk about it privately, we call it 'throat sealing'. Just because that secret must not be leaked, therefore, any girl who marries into the ancient family of Xianyang, from the day she marries into the ancient family, must seal her throat. She could not speak, except to her husband and to her children. All the joys and sorrows are in my arms. A woman who marries into an ancient family is like marrying into an ancient tomb. Her life's mission is to keep her mouth shut...... But who would have thought that in this generation, it would be my turn to marry into the ancient family. ”

"Moreover, in addition to this, the daughter who married into the Gu family has to bear another restriction in recent years."

The mad-throated woman raised her eyes suddenly, looking at the heavy clouds in the sky, and her heart was also depressed.

"Have you heard of the old Wen Pavilion of Hongwen Pavilion? He was blessed by his ancestors and entered the office in the prime of life. Their family has been in charge of Hongwen Hall for more than 90 years, right? Speaking of which, in the rivers and lakes, the person who is most concerned about the secret of the ancient family's throat should be his family. This is what they have coveted for all these years. The Gu family is far away from the wilderness and does not make friends with the world, so they can't persecute the Gu family. But we sealed our family, known as Houmen, and we were in the court after all! I don't know what year it was, we have been persecuted by them, and it has been nearly a hundred years, right? Houmen Houmen, it sounds good to say, but over the years, I am worried that the disaster of destroying the door is always imminent. When I was young, I didn't understand it, but when I grew up, I understood. The ancient family has been withering for nearly a hundred years, and the population is not thriving. ”

Tian Xiao knew that she didn't need to interject herself, so she didn't speak.

I saw her pause, and replied to herself: "Only for every daughter who marries into the Gu family, she has been strictly ordered before she gets married, and she is only allowed to give birth to one son for the Gu family." If there is more, it must be drowned. This secret is only known to our Feng family. Because in the past hundred years, the old Wenge family has secretly framed our Feng family, and has the handle of our Feng family at any time. They want to know the secrets guarded by the Gu family, want to get the key to their control, and have the patience and time to wait. Therefore, they don't want the secret to be lost, and they don't want the ancient family to prosper. We closed our family, and in order for the family to survive, we had to agree to come down. I really can't imagine that my aunts who married into the ancient family back then couldn't talk to outsiders, only their husbands and their own sons could talk, but they had to keep an extra secret about their husbands and sons. She couldn't tell him this, because she was afraid that once he learned about it, he would react, and the people of the Wen family would always be watching over him, and it would be her husband's family who would suffer first at that time, how did they bear such a sullen pain? No wonder Gu Shan's mother died shortly after giving birth to him. Because if there are more children, how can she bear to drown them with her own hands? ”

Tian Xiao couldn't help but shrug in his heart when he heard it, and only heard the voice of the crazy throat girl suddenly turn agitated.

He saw that she was excited, but he suddenly stopped talking, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Even if your marriage contract is an ancestral precept handed down from generation to generation, why does Gu Shan dare to withdraw from your kiss?" ”

The mad-throated woman was stunned: "I withdrew him." ”

Tian Xiao couldn't help but be stunned - you, quit him?

The mad-throated woman's face suddenly became very strange, as if she was happy and painful. The look of great joy and sorrow was united, but there was an indescribable dignity of pain.

Tian Xiao looked at her in a daze, but saw that on her face with mixed joy and sorrow, the background color was actually ...... A piece of tenderness.

"It's because you don't want to be forced by the old man Wenge, because you don't want to drown your own children, and because you don't want to suffer the sin of sealing your throat, did you betray the house and quit this family?"

Tian Xiao thought so logically.

The mad-throated woman shook her head slightly: "No. ”

She said in a slightly hoarse voice: "For the sake of the whole family, it stands to reason that I can eat any kind of suffering." In fact, how can my current misery be lighter than that? ”

But listening to her voice suddenly turn gentle, I saw that her face was also soft for a while.

"I did all this, not to close the family, but to ...... For him. ”

Tian Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.

But I heard the crazy throat girl say in a whisper: "Ever since I knew that I was destined to marry him, I began to pay infinite attention to him. The torture of curiosity is actually the happiest thing for a girl who is slowly growing up, right? Originally, I should have married him in my prime year. But before that year, I had secretly come out and went to Xianyang to see him......"

A happy glint flashed in the Mad Throat's eyes.

The light not only made her eyes, but her whole person shine for a while.

I only heard her smile and said softly: "Sure enough, as my father said, he is different." Not only was he different from the men I had seen before, but he was also different from the ancestors of their ancient family. I have seen the portraits of the ancestors of the ancient family for generations, and they are all very gentle. But he is gentle and bright. I have secretly inquired about him, and I know that in fact, since he was sixteen years old, he has only been a weak crown, and he has quietly appeared in the rivers and lakes, but few people in this world know. As soon as he came out of the world, he confronted the biggest forces of the day. Hongwenguan has ruled the rivers and lakes on behalf of the imperial court for more than 100 years. Seventy years ago, in the year of the leap tiger, the 'leap tiger' list was opened, and the school was inspected by the world's famous people. With the word fame and fortune, he seduces and accepts the rivers and lakes into his recklessness. Another secret book "Daye Dragon and Snake Record", those who are willing to cooperate with them are dragons, and those who refuse to collude with them are snakes. Framed in secret, chased and killed in the open, in the past 70 years, the wild people in the rivers and lakes have killed almost all of them. Do you know why Gushan has to go out of Jiayuguan every year? He's going to Xinjiang. Since many years ago, he has begun to take in the wild people who were hunted down and killed, and help them to send them to the green state of Shahai outside the Guan. Over the years, there have been two or three hundred of those sent out by him. His ambition is really different. ”

"At that time, he didn't do as much as he has now. But I have seen his gentle and jade-like bearing, in his heart, in his bones, the crack that refuses to be in harmony with everyone. I spent a lot of time thinking, is having a husband who is as gentle as jade the greatest happiness in my life? Is being a gentle husband the greatest happiness in his life? Even if it is the greatest happiness, is it also the greatest compromise? Today's rivers and lakes, he is known as 'Xianyang Jade', but I know that what touches me the most and makes him proudest is his crack in the jade! Why should I delay him? Restrain him with the command of the key? Sink him with lifelong silence? To carry him with a drowning baby? That's not what I wanted! Even if, even if the entire Houmen family is in danger, even if it regrets marriage and resists the ancestors! Even if...... In vain in the heart of this life, I will also peel off the shackles on him with my own hands, so that he can fly. ”

"Because, I willingly, the crack in his jade will burst out of him and overturn the whole world!"

As she spoke, she suddenly had a smile in her eyes, her face was full of longing, and she slowly looked at Tian and smiled:

"You say, did I do something wrong?"

Tian Xiao couldn't stand her laughter this time. He has seen a lot of girls, and he has always been able to get along heartily, but at this moment, if he is delicate, if he is annoying, if he has hidden feelings, if he hides his deep love, the glance of his heart can't help but move.

"So, when I was crazy and stupid for nearly ten years, when I heard that the red dust all over the world had fallen on Xianyang and wanted to cover him, I still couldn't help but come. I want to see the scene of the red dust falling on this Xianyang loess plateau. This time, he is only afraid that Hongwenguan is the latest frame for him, right? That's why someone just came to kill me, and I knew that I disobeyed the order back then, and of course they couldn't tolerate me......"

As she spoke, her voice gradually deepened, "But I still can't see him, I don't dare to imagine seeing him like that, and I don't know what to say when I see him......"

Then, her voice became a little enthusiastic.

"But you, I'm afraid there will be a chance to meet him. You're the kind of reckless person I've rarely seen in my life. If you do meet him, you will like him. He will rejoice in you when he thinks about it. ”

Tian Xiao was stunned, I don't know what she was doing when she suddenly talked about this, and she was a little happy when she was talking about it. suddenly saw a crazy smile on her face, "Am I crazy and stupid?" ”

Tian Xiao shook his head: "You're not crazy. ”

"That's too normal for you."

The mad-throated woman smiled slightly: "Women are crazy according to the level of men. ”

As she spoke, she fluttered away in a black shirt.

Tian Xiao was still stunned there. Why did she suddenly say such a big thing to herself, and why was she willing to tell the secret of her heart to someone she didn't know?

She was...... Loved, right? But how could a proud person like her talk about the love in her heart to an irrelevant person?

Then, Tian Xiao struck a thunderbolt in his head, remembering what she said later: "But you, I'm afraid that I will have the opportunity to meet his ......"

It turned out that after all, she longed for everything she had done that no one knew, and there was also a chance to let the ancient cedar know after all; It turned out that what she had been thinking about was that she could throw such a stone in the heart of the person known as "Xianyang Jade" - even if she confessed all her heart in this life, it would not be too much to cast a stone, right? She, like all ordinary women, longed for some ripples from the stone, which was also a little comfort to her desolate life, right?

Tian Xiao thought so, and couldn't say whether he was sad or happy for a while, and he wanted to laugh. But I heard the distant woman singing:

……

The whole spring is famine,

The leaves are rotten;

Those who wait are gray,

The one who should be guarded flew;

Seek and search,

What are you looking for?

Wasted a lifetime of heart,

It's a pity that it didn't land;

……

This song makes Tian laugh and is gray inside.

After a while, he remembered the last words of the mad-throated woman, and suddenly became angry: Isn't that belittling himself to praise the ancient cedar? What do you mean by "women are crazy according to the level of men"?

Tian Xiao was furious in his heart: What is the Gushan boy, you lied to me that you heard a story that I don't know if it's true or false, do you want to put me in to be a foil for him?

But this anger is not very angry, he is so angry that he has no heart and lungs, but he has his own happiness in it.
