When Ruyi found Mu Tong, Mu Tong was curled up in the corner, with his broken guqin in front of him.

Ruyi squatted down and touched the guqin, yesterday's piano rhyme was leisurely, but the piano was already broken, and it fell into this appearance, and there was no possibility of remedy.

"Mu Tong." Ruyi sat beside him and whispered, his body trembled slightly, and the head buried between his arms slowly lifted up, when he saw that the person sitting in front of him was Ruyi, Mu Tong's eyes flashed slightly, obviously surprised how could she be here?

"Su Ruyi, is that you?" Mu Tong's voice was already hoarse, and when he realized that his face was still blue and swollen, and he wanted to lower it quickly, Ruyi's hand was on his shoulder, and the other hand had already touched his face, and his eyes were full of pity.

Mu Tong looked at her in a daze, letting her hand stay on her embarrassed face.

"Why are they so ruthless, it must be painful, right?"

Mu Tong shook his head, avoided Ruyi's hand, and cast his eyes on the broken qin on the ground: "I don't care, I'm used to it anyway, but it's a pity that this piano ......"

"The piano is broken, you can buy it again, come, I have medicine on me, I'll apply medicine to your wound first, you take off the mask."

As soon as he heard that he was going to take off his mask, the young man in front of him stood up as if he was frightened, and took two steps back: "Su Ruyi, you better stay away from me, you go, I don't need your mercy." ”

Ruyi didn't know why Mu Tong had such a big reaction, presumably behind the mask was where his real inferiority complex was.

"Mu Tong, we are friends, I don't care about those so-called looks, I just want to give you medicine."

Mu Tong stared at Ruyi, she took a step forward, and he took a step back: "Su Ruyi, you don't need to be so good to me, you better leave quickly." ”

Mu Tong was very stubborn, that is, he didn't let anyone easily touch his scars, Ruyi put the medicine bottle on the ground, and made a compromise: "Okay, I won't give the dressing, okay, but you take this medicine, it has a good effect on healing wounds." ”

Mu Tong didn't say anything, presumably agreed.

"Mu Tong, if you can, you should tell the head of this matter, maybe he can make decisions for you? After all, you are so filial to him. ”

After Ruyi finished speaking, the corners of Mu Tong's mouth pulled up a self-deprecating smile: "The piano is broken, Zhao Shunan is right, a person like me is not qualified to please the master." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, others look down on you, but you have to look down on yourself."

Mu Tong's tense body just now gradually relaxed, he squatted down, his eyes staring at the guqin: "Su Ruyi, you say, can this broken qin still play the tune?" ”

Although the strings are not broken, the base of the piano has become two halves, how can it be possible to play the music again?

Ruyi only thought that Mu Tong was sad, and just wanted to comfort her, but Mu Tong raised her eyes and looked at her: "Do you know what the name of the song I played for you yesterday?" ”

Ruyi doesn't remember the tune anymore, but the feeling of almost touching the pain in her heart is still vaguely there.

Mu Tong's hand touched the strings, and his fingers subconsciously stirred, although the tune was no longer out of tune, he could still vaguely hear some of yesterday's music: "It's called a funeral song, it's a tribute to a dead lover." ”

"Funeral song?" Ruyi just repeated the name of this qin song, and his head remembered the man in black in his memory, as well as his outstretched hand and almost chilling voice, "Cut your eyes, I miss you so much".

Her head hurts so much, Ruyi wants to rub her temples to make herself sober, but Mu Tong grabbed her hand and stared at her: "Su Ruyi, in fact, you also have indelible pain in your heart, why do you want to bury it in your heart, think about it, think about it all, so that your life can be complete." ”

Mu Tong's eyes were blurred, at this moment he was like a Shura from hell, Ruyi didn't want to remember, but some fragmentary memory fragments popped up in his mind at all.

These scenes are very familiar, exactly the same as the picture scroll that Situ Qianchen showed her in the Zhenguo Mansion of Tianyuan Kingdom.

Ling Jiantong......

Su Ruyi......

Ruyi only felt that her head was about to explode, and her consciousness was gradually withdrawn, and at the moment when Ruyi was about to faint, a cold voice suddenly reached her ears.

"So you're here, it's really easy for me to find."

The haunting picture just now disappeared in an instant, and even the feeling of pain disappeared, and Ruyi raised his eyes and saw Huayue.

"Huayue." Ruyi broke away from Mu Tong's hand, got up and walked to Hua Yue's side, perhaps relying on her, her hand grabbed his sleeve.

Hua Yue looked at her sideways and said softly, "Are you okay?" ”

Ruyi shook his head and didn't speak.

Mu Tong got up and stared at Ruyi's hand that grabbed Hua Yue's sleeve, and her eyes gradually dimmed: "Are you here to take her away?" ”

Hua Yue looked at the young man with a blue nose and swollen face in front of him, as if he saw his former self, once, before his face was cured, he also wore an ugly mask like this, and was often bullied by his fellow disciples, but his eyes were still so stubborn and refused to bow his head.

Hua Yue didn't reply to Mu Tong's words, but handed Mu Tong a brand new guqin from behind her: "Your piano is broken, I'll give you a new one." ”

Mu Tong didn't look at him and didn't answer: "You husband and wife are really interesting, one came to enlighten me not to look down on myself, and the other directly sent Qin to comfort, I said, I don't need any mercy." ”

"If you really don't need it, then please become strong, and when others look at you with no more contempt and sympathy, you can really say it with confidence, but now, you must take the piano we gave you."

Mu Tong stared at Hua Yue for a long time, the stubborn thing in his eyes loosened a little, he took it with one hand, and left with the next sentence "I will return it to you".

"Ruyi, what did he tell you just now? Why is your face all white? ”

Ruyi pursed her lips, and then said: "I don't know why, as soon as I heard that funeral song, a lot of pictures flew out of my mind, as if it was déjà vu, Hua Yue, did you say it was related to the memory I lost three years ago?" Recently, I've been hearing someone call me Ling Jiantong, who is Ling Jiantong? ”

Hua Yue's face sank slightly, and she hugged Ruyi's shoulder: "Don't think nonsense, it must be that you are too tired these days and need to rest, about the memories you lost before, can you remember it, it is all about fate, you can't force it, you know?" ”

Ruyi looked at Hua Yue, he was the only person she could trust, she didn't know who else she could rely on besides Hua Yue.

She nodded obediently and leaned on his shoulder: "Hua Yue, when can we go home?" ”

"I'm afraid today's feast will end late, and I think we'll have to stay here tonight."

The night was hazy.

The disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect usually live in the backyard of the Xiaoyao Palace, but Mu Tong is discriminated against because of this face, and no one wants to share the same house with him, so he can only live in a small hut in the forest.

Under the candlelight, Mu Tong looked at the medicine bottle on the table, and looked at it as if he saw Ruyi's face.

When she's happy, the smile on her face is really good-looking.

Even though Mu Tong is already this ugly look, every time he sees her, he still can't help but want to get closer, his world is already dark, and only she is the only light that illuminates him.

Although he hates Hua Yue very much, what Hua Yue said to him today is not unreasonable, if you want not to be sympathized and pitied by others, you must first become strong, even if it is not for yourself, you have to change for Su Ruyi.

Mu Tong uncorked the bottle and smeared the wounds on his face and body one by one, and then, he picked up the guqin on the bed, put it on his back and walked towards the Xiaoyao Palace.

The feast is over, so the head of the house must rest in the house.

Mu Tong tightened the strap containing the guqin behind him, stood in front of the door of the master, and plucked up a lot of courage before knocking lightly.

It's pitch black in the house, it stands to reason that at this hour, the head shouldn't be able to sleep, what's going on today, is it too tired, or is he drunk with the major bosses?

However, since the head of the room was resting, Mu Tong was not easy to disturb, he was about to turn around and leave, but the originally closed door opened a crack.

Mu Tong felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to walk in easily, he could only stand at the door and call the head a few times, but there was no reply inside, and the sound was like falling into a bottomless pit.

"Master, are you there?"

Mu Tong always felt that there was something in the house, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, and walked in cautiously, the moonlight poured in with the opening of the door, and there was no light in the room at all, but it was still gloomy and a little cold.

Mu Tong slowed his steps, but his hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist, he had been to the master's room before, and he was also clear about the structure in the master's room, he bypassed the screen, and suddenly there was a faint movement in his ears.

Like sucking something......

Mu Tong approached the bed step by step, and something was moving under the brocade quilt.

"Boss?" Mu Tong tentatively called out, and the thing that had been moving suddenly stopped.

"Master, are you alright?"

Mu Tong had already walked to the front of the bed, and was just about to reach out to lift the brocade quilt, but suddenly only heard a "hiss", and a black shadow came out of the brocade quilt, Mu Tong was obviously shocked, and when he came back to his senses, what was lying on the bed was the thin corpse of the head, the blood on his body was obviously sucked dry, and his face was full of horror!

Mu Tong instantly understood that the black shadow just now was here to assassinate the master.

He turned around and chased after the black shadow running in front of him like crazy, who was so bold that he dared to run up to the Loose Sect to assassinate the leader!

He must catch that black shadow so that he can avenge the master!
