Chapter 1: Slender Gentleman

Next Chapter

On a cold winter night, at the top of a peak in the southern city, the fortress shrouded in snow is surrounded by old cedar trees that are about to rise into the clouds.

The accumulated snow bent the branches, and under the moonlit night, the entire fortress, including its surroundings, was covered in silver, and there was no trace of birds and beasts, and the breath of the secluded forest enveloped the realm.

Inside the fortress, inside the underground cages that cut through the rocks, the walls were filled with torches wrapped in oilcloth, illuminating the dark passages.

The farther I went, the clearer the ticking sound became, like water dropping on the surface of a lake, and the surroundings were silent.

In a prison cell made of hot iron, the man's limbs were clasped in thick chains, and he was naked, his flesh was marked by whipping, and the chains were covered with yellow Taoist symbols, and the charms were painted with cinnabar with gossip patterns, covering the originally dark iron of the hot iron.

The man writhed his muscles, and the iron chains collided with each other, and a sound came into his eardrums, which shook his nerves, and he still couldn't avoid contact with Huang Fu, and it was like sulfuric acid poured on his skin, and the sizzling sound was mixed with wisps of green smoke, with a scorching smell, filling the tip of his nose and every nerve.

He tilted his head, grinning in pain, his face was dripping with dense sweat, and the broken hair on his forehead blocked his eyes, making it difficult to see his expression.

The texture of the whole skin presents a gray blue frost color, like a corpse that has been dead for a long time, which makes people look terrible.

Blood flowed from the elbows, drop by drop, and on the damp ground, there was blood that had not yet dried up.

"Slender Gentleman."

The jailer, wearing a pair of black gloves and a humble expression, led a woman forward, came to the iron prison, took a chair, and stood back in the corner.

"It's a big night, it's cold, it's really disturbing dreams, it's better to really have news that I'm interested in, otherwise my fantasy will be unjust for me."

The woman leaned back on the chair with one elbow on her head, covered her mouth with the other, and yawned slightly.

The man bound in chains looked at her fixedly, the corners of his mouth hooked, and the occasional burning sound of flesh touching the yellow talisman turned a deaf ear.

The woman was dressed in a red suspender skirt, her limbs and skin were exposed, but she didn't notice the cold at all, her posture was good, she sat lazily on the chair, her feet hooked, and the high-heeled shoes of the same color on her left foot were just a few straps tied at her ankles, she stood on tiptoe, swaying gently, and the red ribbon fluttered.

The long inky hair is scattered on the shoulders, taking advantage of the fact that the skin is getting fairer and fairer, this girl has a pair of light glass-colored eyes, long and thick eyelashes, thin lips are lightly closed, and her face is delicate, like the capital of peony, which makes people fall over.

"Don't worry, it's definitely something you're interested in."

The man gasped, apparently tortured.

The woman raised her eyebrows, smiling and playing with the hair that hung down her shoulders, waiting for the man to continue.

"Why don't you put me down, let's sit down and talk slowly."

The woman scoffed, "It's really giving you face." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the dark red woven hemp rope that had been wrapped around his wrist three times, and his pale eyes couldn't see clearly, but his frowning brows clearly showed the master's unhappiness.

All the charmers in the fortress knew that the red rope was the illusion of the slender lady, and this action showed her extreme impatience.

As soon as the red illusion came out, the bloodthirsty was unparalleled.

This man is looking for death......

"I see him...... Yes! Before the man could finish speaking, he was slapped on his body by a whip shadow, slanting from his shoulders to his abdomen, and his skin was open.

"Who?"

The woman held a long dark red whip in her hand, and there was nothing on her wrist, and the person had quickly moved to the iron prison, through the iron bar, full of anger.

The man laughed twice, and then took a few breaths before saying, "Naturally, it is the person that the slender gentleman misses." ”

The Enchanter moved as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye opened the cage and came to him, holding his neck tightly with one hand.

The man was choked by the throat, his strength became tighter and tighter, and he grunted, unable to say a word, so he had to keep passing the begging for mercy to the woman with his eyes.

It seemed that after a long time, the woman let go of her hand, she smiled coquettishly, like a bright girl in the light and shadow, and the anger on her body disappeared in an instant.

"You weren't the first person to say this to me in a thousand years, do you know the end of those people?"

As she spoke, she stroked the whip in her hand, and it went without saying that this was a bloodthirsty magic weapon.

The elbow in his throat relaxed, and the man couldn't stop coughing violently, and his skin touched the yellow charm between pulling, like a thousand insects gnawing on it, and his pupils contracted violently, making him sweat profusely.

Even so, he still gritted his teeth, and only after he recovered did he feel weak.

"It's the reincarnation of that person, the same Taoist family, and the first time I saw him was just a month ago."

"No way, that man was wiped out 2,000 years ago......"

"If there was a wisp of remnant soul at that time, or if there was a magic weapon to protect it, it is not a fantasy to reincarnate in the body of future generations now."

"No, no, I saw it with my own eyes, it was ......"

"Xian Meijun should know that the Taoist family has such a skill since ancient times......"

She shook her head, as if she felt her master's emotions, and turned into a red rope and wrapped it around her wrist.

The woman regressed again and again, and the emotions on her face changed in a myriad of ways, including disbelief, panic, sadness, anger, dazedness, and a trace of joy that was difficult to capture.

Wu, she stretched out her hand and put it on top of the man's head, and thousands of images flashed in front of her eyes.

Finally, a picture was captured, which was a boy full of youthful vitality, eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a white shirt, carrying a black schoolbag on one shoulder, and short broken hair on his forehead.

Walking on the tree-lined path, his face is the same as that of the person two thousand years ago, handsome and delicate.

The image is enlarged, and in the upper right corner of the backpack, there is a rubber badge that reads "Imperial University." ”

The woman let go of her hand in a daze, tears from the corners of her eyes scratched her face, and a sarcastic smile rippled to the tips of her eyebrows.

—————

"You have the rules of the king, you have broken the rules and broken the rules of the control bureau, and it is a gift for the king to transfer you to the fortress.

You should know that I can't let you out, and letting you go will be a trouble for you, so you can stay in the fortress and repay your kindness. ”

"Thank you."

The man breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had relieved the heaviness of his heart, and his voice suddenly became weak.

The woman nodded and instructed the jailer, who stepped forward and used his gloved hands to untie the chains wrapped around the man's limbs.

As soon as the chains of his hands were removed, the man's body collapsed to the ground as soon as he became weak, which showed that he could no longer support it.

"Slender Lady is going to find that person."

Her steps paused as she walked out, and the fire on the wall was like the dancing steps of a girl, ready to move.

"That's not what you're supposed to ask."

"Please be careful, the Controlling Bureau is peaceful on the surface, but today's Taoists and Buddhists, as well as the bounty hunters in the hundreds of princes, may not be able to tolerate charmers."

The woman's chuckle overflowed, and she didn't look back with a delicate step.

The Control Bureau, no one is more familiar with her than her, doing things like stealing chickens and dogs in the name of maintaining natural order, if it weren't for the support of Qishan Taoist priests and robed monks, he would have been served by Jun Yiyi a long time ago.

For thousands of years, the Mo family has been the guardians and guardians of the charmers, on the one hand, they are protecting the charmers, and on the other hand, they are also preventing the charmers from destroying the harmonious laws of nature.

The charmer is born as a man, and if there is an adventure, he will be a charm after death. If there is no adventure, and the heart is unwilling before death, then the wandering soul. The rest of the people died with a clean mind and were able to go to Blissful Reincarnation.

Of course, the theory of reincarnation has no basis and no basis, and it is all speculation.

Wandering spirits, without a subject, without consciousness, such as ignorant children, can only eat human essence and blood to survive, so, for the sake of natural harmony, there are Mohists, Taoists, Buddhism and bounty hunters in the hundreds of sons.

The charmer, with a main body and consciousness, is generally the same before and after death, and also exists with cannibalistic essence and blood, which is not tolerated by the world.

However, the Mohists believe that those who are charming, that is, have thoughts, are living beings, and they should not be slaughtered, and should be guided by good temptations and led to the right path.

The side door believes that this is a fallacy and heresy, because the power of the charmer is thousands of times stronger than that of human beings, and they all feed on the essence and blood of people, that is, plundering, there is a fight for killing, and there is a dispute when there is ambiguity, and a hundred schools of thought are born.

The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory.

After fighting for a thousand years, and only in the last hundred years, they began to slowly live in peace, human beings have grown up in killing, there is science and theology, they are creatures of nature, and they have learned to believe in supernatural powers, they have learned how to survive, and they have learned how to deal with charmers......
