Bixia Temple, in the purple bamboo forest, the purple bamboo forest is on the hillside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The info mountain gate is open, but the red dust has been isolated from the bamboo forest. Si Nian and Hua Manlou stepped on the "rustling" leaves, through the purple bamboo forest, and the last evening bell was ringing in the wind. The night has not yet come, and the sky is full of sunset, and it is dusk.

Si Nian indifferently asked Hua Manlou, "How did you know that Jiang Chongwei was here?" ”

Hua Manlou said softly: "As the head of the palace, his eyes were blinded by the embroidery thief, what do you think he is feeling at the moment?" ”

Si Nian said: "The pain is unbearable. He lost his power, glory and wealth, and became blind. ”

Hua Manlou said: "So if he hasn't killed himself, then he will definitely find a place where it is quiet, and there should be a place where he trusts the most." ”

Si Nian asked, "Here is the person he trusts the most?" ”

Hua Manlou nodded: "His sister." ”

Suddenly, a person in the mountain gate asked, "Who is your friend outside?" ”

The door was hidden, and there was a small courtyard in the door, and a person moved a bamboo chair and sat under the poplar tree in the courtyard. The setting sun shone on the lonely aspen, and also on his pale face, his nose was straight, and his cheekbones were high, and everyone could see that he must be a very majestic and authoritative man, but it was a pity that his bright eyes had now turned into two dark holes.

"Hello." Hua Manlou sighed softly and "looked" at the person in front of him.

Jiang Chongwei smiled: "Your Excellency is taking pity on me? "The laughter is bleak and equally sad.

Hua Manlou shook his head: "Do you know who I am?" The gentle voice was like rain and dew sprinkled in the spring breeze, moistening Jiang Chongwei's dark eyes.

The corners of Jiang Chongwei's mouth moved slightly, and his face seemed to become calm: "I didn't know it just now, but now I know." ”

Hua Manlou said: "Do you really know? ”

Jiang Chongwei smiled, this time it was a real smile: "The flowers are full of buildings." ”

Hua Manlou smiled faintly: "It is worthy of Jiang Chongwei." Hua Manlou didn't ask him how he knew about himself, because he knew how Jiang Chongwei knew. And Si Nian also knows it.

Si Nian finally saw what kind of person Hua Manlou was. He will not feel emotion, pity the sorrow and pain of others. He can only lament the loneliness and bitterness of the injured person. His voice, his gentleness, seemed to be a healing medicine from heaven to those who were hurting. But God thinks he is too perfect, and this chaotic rivers and lakes can't accommodate perfect people, so he robbed him of his beautiful eyes......

Hua Manlou whispered to Jiang Chongwei: "We came today to ask you something. ”

The corners of Jiang Chongwei's eyes twitched slightly: "If it's a matter of the palace, I don't want to talk about it......"

Hua Manlou said: "Why? ”

Jiang Chongwei said: "Because I don't want you to see that person." His face seemed to be distorted by fear again, and he said slowly: "Give up this case......" Si Nian looked at his cheeks, as if he had aged several times in an instant. Is it true that the older people get, the more afraid they become? Afraid of your own death, afraid of others sending you to death...... It turns out that the arrogant teenagers who used to laugh proudly will have this kind of hesitant horror when they are old, and they are really no longer young......

Hua Manlou asked again, "Why?" ”

Jiang Chongwei said: "Because I have never seen someone with such terrible martial arts, even if you find him, you will definitely not be his opponent!" His body seemed to tremble, as if he remembered that terrible man, that terrible needle. There was still blood dripping from the needle, and his eyes were bright red, blood......

"Huh." Si Nian smiled softly, but he was so indifferent.

Hearing Si Nian's laughter, Jiang Chongwei couldn't help frowning, and even Hua Manlou was puzzled: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Si Nian shook his head, but he was still laughing, laughing, really arrogant......

"The huge rivers and lakes, who doesn't know the name of 'Thirteen Taibao Henglian' Jiang Chongwei? Invulnerable, it's hard for anyone to hurt you. But it's not hard for you to hurt someone. Once walked across the southeast, the people of the green forest were frightened, and who heard your name without solemnity? Even if he later retired to the rivers and lakes and became the chief manager of the current palace, he never groveled to the prince. But you see that now, you are just a blind man and you are so cringe, and you still have the indomitable spirit back then?! Si Nian said coldly, not avoiding the word "blind".

Hua Manlou "looked" at Jiang Chongwei's lowered head, without any expression on his face, he just said lightly: "I didn't really want to know about that night when I was looking for you, I know you are very reluctant to mention that night's affairs again, but I just want to tell you, don't forget that I am also a blind person, let alone that I have always lived well." I know you're a hard bone, but I don't want you to end up being a brittle bone. Without eyes, we can use our ears, our nose, our senses, and our hearts to see this colorful world, and the world is really beautiful. It's really happy to be alive......" Then, Hua Manlou slowly turned around. Si Nian glanced at Jiang Chongwei again, with admiration and pity in his eyes. He had even thought now that maybe he could easily pull out the Immortal Sword and let him be freed......

Si Nian didn't do that, and Hua Manlou's words were finished. So, the two of them stepped out of the room together and walked down the mountain.

After a long time, a bold voice came: "Hua Manlou, and that unknown little brother." Thank you! ”

Hua Manlou smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, but Si Nian was stunned, and then he was still colorless. The two of them disappeared into the forest at sunset. The bleak wind blew through the purple bamboo forest and blew off the leaves of the trees. There are one or two crisp yellow warblers embellishing the silence of dusk, and a touch of sunset red burns the sky above the purple bamboo forest. The lonely wild goose chirped a few times, rendering the loneliness of the entire sky. But there is still such a person who thinks that the world is very beautiful, very beautiful, and should be like the rising sun, everything is hope, and everything can be ideal...... He envisioned that the whole world would be happy. Everyone will have flowers, full of buildings......

The sky was already dark, and the half-moon hung in the sky, and a faint silver light sprinkled the stars.

Si Nian asked Hua Manlou lightly, "Where are we going next?" ”

"The Palace." Hua Manlou replied softly.

Si Nian said: "Go to the palace treasure house to check the scene of the crime?" ”

Hua Manlou said: "That's half right." ”

Si Nian said: "What is the other half?" ”

Hua Manlou chuckled: "Go and meet Lu Xiaofeng, now he should know a lot of answers." ”

Si Nian's godless eyes flashed with a white light: "You mean, he wants to go into the treasure house?" ”

Hua Manlou nodded and said: "The treasure house of the palace is heavily guarded, but the embroidery thief can break in silently. The most important thing is that when Jiang Chongwei opened the door and entered the treasure house, the door was locked from the outside. ”

Si Nian said: "It is impossible for a person to appear out of thin air in the treasure house of the palace that even ants can't climb into. ”

Hua Manlou said: "So he can't figure it out either." ”

Si Nian said: "Since you can't figure it out......"

Hua Manlou said with a smile: "He will try it himself, whether he can really break into the palace treasury silently." ”

Si Nian's indifferent face appeared a hint of discoloration, and after a long time, he sighed softly: "Lu Xiaofeng is really a madman......"

Hua Manlou "looked" at Si Nian seriously, and said, "What about you, you're not crazy?" I know that the masters of the palace are like clouds, but at this moment, I also want to meet those masters for a while. ”

Si Nian showed a hint of surprise: "How can you see it?" ”

Hua Manlou raised his eyes to look at the gray sky, and said quietly: "Don't forget that I am a blind man......"
