Chapter 47: Red Lotus and White Crane (2)
Now it's hard again, what exactly does the arrow point to, is it a living gate or another trap?
Thinking back to our journey to the present, the organs in this secret room are all related to Kunlun, and it seems that only the disciples of Kunlun Gate can find the location of the Shengmen, but Xiao Hese betrayed the master and escaped from Kunlun, and now she is besieged by the people of Kunlun Gate, and her whereabouts are unknown.
If she really hates Kunlun Gate in her heart, and sets such a trap to kill the people of Kunlun Gate, wouldn't we be caught in the net if we venture in? If this is the case, then the other door is the birth gate.
Senior brother and I stood at the door pointed by the arrow, a little stunned, and finally looked at Shen Xingshen and handed over the decision to him.
Shen Xing was silent for a moment and said, "I believe in Uncle Xiao. ”
As he spoke, he walked in.
My senior brother and I had no choice but to follow him, turning around, and finally came to the end of the secret passage, but we saw a light projected in, and there was a breeze from the outside world.
Hurriedly ran along the secret passage, and sure enough, I saw the exit, and beyond the exit, there was a courtyard.
A very elegant courtyard, the courtyard is planted with graceful red lotus, but unfortunately it is autumn, Qishan has passed the battle not long ago, the water in the pond has dried up, only the black and smelly silt remains, those red lotuses have also died, lotus leaf stalks and lotus canopy that has not yet grown into shape dumped in the silt.
"Coming out? Really came out? ”
Standing in the courtyard, he took a breath of the outside air, and looked at his senior brother suspiciously: "What kind of place is this?" ”
The senior brother snorted and said angrily: "How do I know? ”
I feel that the senior brother is very suspicious, very suspicious, Kunlun Gate's Nine Dragons Seven Interception Formation, he seems to be very familiar, maybe it can be explained that he is erudite and well-informed, but if even Kunlun's unique "Pure Heart Sutra" knows, this is a bit too much to say.
Could it be that when the senior brother was walking the rivers and lakes, he once sneaked into the Kunlun Gate to learn their Taoist techniques?
Or did the senior brother have some kind of relationship with that Kunlun Sect?
Judging from Senior Brother's attitude towards Shen Xingshen, this kind of thing is also very likely.
The courtyard was quiet, no one seemed to be there, and we split up to find something.
Walking into the corridor of the courtyard, I was attracted by the mural painted on it, it was a very strange mural, I had seen similar ones when I was in the Bai Family Hotel before, and when I was in the Folding Sword Villa, but the content was different.
The murals painted in the Bai family and Zhejian Villa are all about the twenty-four filial pieties of the mountain cordyceps, plants and trees, but the murals here are very organized, and they are also related to each other, as if they want to tell a story to the future.
On the first painting, two people are depicted, one is wearing a Taoist robe, with beautiful eyebrows, and several cranes standing beside him, and the other is dressed in red, with gorgeous red lotuses blooming around him.
I think these two people should be Xiao Hese and her senior brother He Daochang.
On the second painting, there are still two people, but they are two girls, one is still wearing a red dress, the other is wearing a light blue dress, and the two people are drawing eyebrows to the window, and a bronze mirror is placed in front of them.
This red-clothed one should still be Xiao Hese, but this blue-clothed one, I can't think of who it is for a while.
In the third painting, there are a lot of people on the picture, plus the blurred figures painted in the back, there should be hundreds, led by a white-haired old man, behind him, there are a few people who draw more clearly, I counted it, it is seven, among which is He Dao Chang Xiao and Se and the girl who painted eyebrows in the mirror with Xiao Hese in the previous painting.
They soared from a fairy mountain, leaping down, a group of people were mighty, full of momentum, the surrounding cranes were flying, the clouds and mist were swirling, as if they were immortals who descended from the sky.
I thought about it, this painting should be painted about their trip to southern Xinjiang back then, and the old man headed by him is Xu Jingrong and Liu Weiyang's master Yu Xuozi, so in this way, the one who painted his eyebrows on the window with Xiao Hese before was Xu Jingrong?
I was a little dazed, and continued to walk forward, in front of the fourth painting, but I saw a picture of a person on it, trapped in a fire in the deep forest, with a person on his shoulder, and a few in the open space not far away, who should have been rescued by him.
In the picture on the mural, the man was embarrassed and exhausted, but he still insisted on saving people, and his resolute expression was sad and moving.
I think, this person should be He Daochang, in the first battle in southern Xinjiang, the demon sect demons set fire to the mountain, and many martial arts people who went to encircle and suppress the demon sect were trapped in the sea of fire.
I felt very uncomfortable, unspeakably uncomfortable, looking at the person in the picture, my heart felt like it had been pierced by a knife.
But I obviously don't know him, and even his name has only recently been heard, why...... Why would I be sad for him to arrive.
I subconsciously moved to the fifth picture, but I couldn't understand the story above.
There were still two people on it, one was dressed in red, and the other was vague, with a white cloth soaked in blood, and it could be seen that he was seriously injured, his whole body was injured, even his head was wrapped in a white cloth, and the man in red was taking care of him.
The two men were locked up in a darkened chamber surrounded by a table, a chair, and a dim lamp.
Who is this person and why is Xiao Hese taking care of him? I thought about it, is it normal?
But I don't think it's right, in the rumors of the rivers and lakes, He Daochang died on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, why was he locked up in such a small and dark room?
So who is this person?
I stared at the painting carefully, but I never saw any doorway, so I had to move again and walk in front of the sixth painting.
In this painting, only Xiao and Se and a seven or eight-year-old boy are still locked in a small and dark room, the child is kneeling on a futon, with a scripture book in front of him, as if he is preaching to Xiao Hese, but Xiao and Se are only leaning against the wall behind them, ragged, and do not respond.
I think this painting should tell the story of Xiao Hese after she went mad, when she had a dispute with someone, injured people from other sects, and was found by someone to go to the master's door, the head of Ling Xuzi punished her for retreat and thought, this level, not only did not let her think clearly, but made her go crazy.
Who is this little boy, on Kunlun Immortal Mountain back then, except for the head Ling Xuozi, who has the ability to preach to Xiao Hese?
I don't know why, I suddenly remembered the words of the old Taoist priest before, Xuanzhen Xianzun entered the Tao at the age of three, and when he was seven years old, he cultivated a little, and he used to follow Ling Xuzi all day long, accept Ling Xuzi's teachings, and when he was very young, he was able to discuss the Tao with many older Taoist priests.
Could it be that this kid is Shen Xingshen?
Further down, the content of the painting I have expected, is the story of Xiao and Se betraying the master, in the picture, she was besieged by the same door, in a fit of rage, the sword wounded the same door, defected from the Kunlun Mountain, at that time she was scarred, red clothes stained with blood, if you look closely, there is also a missing left arm.
Why is this happening? Did Xiao Hese actually break a left arm?
How did she escape from Kunlun Mountain back then, and why did Kunlunmen claim that she was killed by Bai Feizhen?
I was thinking about it, but I heard the sound of things falling on the ground and breaking in the room not far away, and I hurriedly ran over, and as soon as I crossed the threshold, I saw Shen Xingshen half-kneeling on the ground, frowning and covering his head, as if he was in pain.
"Shen Gongzi, what's wrong with you......"
I stepped forward to help him, but Shen Xingshen subconsciously broke free, he was still half-kneeling on the ground, looking at the red lotus on the opposite screen in a daze.
Looking back on our acquaintance, he seems to have a special interest in the red lotus.
Is it because of the relationship between Xiao and Se?
Thinking of the paintings I saw just now, I asked Shen Xingshen: "Do you remember, when you were young, ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Shen Xingshen's hoarse voice say: "Floating Void Tower, the ...... of the Pure Heart True Scripture"
He looked at me in a daze, lost in despair: "I...... I remembered it all......"
He said that in the battle on Qishan, he would be counterattacked by the sword array, not because of how powerful the sword array was, nor because he had been plotted by Xu Kaiyang before this, but because he himself forcibly withdrew the sword momentum, because he found that the person who the master asked him to kill was his uncle Xiao Hese.
But because he was plotted by Xu Kaiyang, he was already injured on his body, and the sword array was very powerful, and the result of forcibly retracting the sword array was that he himself was seriously injured and died.
I asked him tentatively, "Do you remember what happened in the Floating Void Tower?" ”
Shen Xingshen shook his head, it seems that when he came to Qishan this time, he just recalled the things on Qishan, and he hadn't recalled what happened on Kunlun Mountain back then, did he really have to send him back to Kunlun Mountain to remember?
He asked me in a low voice, "Miss Jing, my uncle is her...... Dead? ”
I comforted me gently: "Xu Kaiyang said that after the Battle of Qishan, Xiao Hese disappeared, and it may not be necessary that he has escaped. ”
Seeing that he didn't speak, I asked tentatively, "Do you want to go back to Kunlunmen?" ”
Shen Xing was silent for a moment and replied, "No, I'm going to see someone." ”
His tone was firm, not as confused as he had been when he had woken up from Mount Xuanji, and I thought he already knew who he was going to see.
So he asked again: "Is the person you want to see Xiao Hese?" ”
He nodded and replied, "Yes, it's Uncle Xiao." ”
I asked again: "Do you know that Xiao Hese has betrayed Kunlun, and now he is still the demon girl and demon who everyone shouts and kills on the rivers and lakes, and if you see her at this time, it will be unfavorable to you, if you let the people of Kunlun know that you intend to withdraw the sword momentum, I am afraid that it will be ......."
I didn't finish the next words, but Shen Xingshen should have been very clear, and sighed: "Even so, do you still want to see her?" ”
Shen Xingshen still nodded, I suddenly remembered Jiang Cai, I asked her if she wanted to wait for Yi Chulian before, and she was also so obsessed and unrepentant.
Even if a person dies, he can't even remember himself, but he wants to see another person.
I think that Shen Xingshen's feelings for Xiao Hese should not be as simple as being the same door.
I was about to say something to him, but I heard my brother's voice outside: "Don't run ......"
