Chapter 4: Assassination
Late at night, Yin Shuangshuang couldn't sleep, all kinds of questions came to mind, seven years ago he was still a teenager, what was the reason for a child to be poisoned, seven years ago my grandfather came to Wutai Mountain to live in seclusion, what made the Hou Ye of the Xuanhou Mansion in the south come here, and he couldn't sleep after turning and turning.
So he got up and wanted to walk around the yard again, and when he came to the recliner in the courtyard, Yin Shuangshuang casually took one of his coats and draped it, and leaned slightly on the chair.
At this time, the weather has gradually cooled down late at night, Yin Shuangshuang looked at the sky, the night opened, the stars were shining, thinking about breaking this sky galaxy, what is the world outside, is there a ghost or god? Are there any immortals? How the hell did you get here?
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, the coolness is coming, Yin Shuangshuang has already sneezed a few times, and when he was about to go back, he faintly saw a shadow at a rapid speed, but Yin Shuangshuang's eyesight is still quite good, although her health is not good all year round, it will not affect her ability to go to heaven and earth, so she has practiced.
Yin Shuangshuang thought about it for a while, in the book of his previous life, should it be an assassin's assassination? Becoming more and more curious, he quickly followed, but if he wanted to keep up with the figure of this assassin, it was still difficult for Yin Shuangshuang, who had no martial arts foundation. I saw that the assassin was like a floating shadow, a few times in the air, and then disappeared in the night.
Yin Shuangshuang crossed a few courtyards, the breeze was gusting, the cold was biting, although it was already late at night, but the surrounding defense was not relaxed. Under such a heavy level, the people who blended in here could see the high level of martial arts, and after chasing for a few minutes, Yin Shuangshuang was nowhere to be seen.
Thinking about this, Kochi's grandfather thought about it again, my grandfather lived in the front yard, and the assassin obviously went deep into the backyard, in the courtyard of Mount Wutai, what is there?
Curiosity together, then immediately walked to the backyard, in the dead of night, Yin Shuang walked in both directions, through a round door, this door is very low, surrounded by weeds and dead branches and rotten leaves, no one prunes all year round resulting in the branches and branches here are pressed very low, Yin Shuangshuang bent down and found that there was a hole in the back, and there was a feeling that he had been there, maybe he didn't remember. I don't know if I used to play here.
I saw that there was no wall behind it, surrounded by woods, dense woods surrounded by trees, there was only a thatched house in the open space in the middle, the lights were faintly on, when Yin Shuangshuang arrived, he saw that the lights were still on, and saw a dense tree next to him, so he hid inside, Yin Shuangshuang hid in the woods and saw the assassin standing outside the house for a long time, very puzzled, the assassin came for a while, but only stood outside the door and waited far away to say something.
"Below, Dong'anguo, Master Songye's first apprentice, I want to meet Master Xuanye" Seeing this assassin respectfully clenching his fists, he said, without the slightest intention of assassination, Yin Shuangshuang wondered in his heart whether he was not an assassin.
"The master said, the answer you want is in the court, and it is about to emerge, you go back!" I saw a man in a Taoist robe, about fifty or sixty years old, come out of the thatched hut and say to the black-clothed assassin.
Yin Shuangshuang thought in his heart that this man was already over half a hundred years old, so his master Xuanye was estimated to be in his old age, Yin Shuangshuang knew before that there was an emperor living on Wutai Mountain, and everyone who had to greet him when he saw him, and he was good at literature and martial arts. Presumably this is where he lives, no wonder there is no defense around, it is said that Master Xuanye is one of the three masters in the world lurking next to him.
This assassin should be a young man judging from his back and posture, and after hearing this, he flew away, Yin Shuangshuang thought to himself that he thought there was some secret! It turned out that he was just a follower of Master Xuanye, so he thought that he would go back to Beijing tomorrow, so he would sneak back to rest again.
At this moment, a deep voice came, and came from the thatched hut: "Since Shuangshuang is here, come in!" ”
Yin Shuangshuang was about to get up and go back quietly, when he heard someone shouting to him, it seemed that he had been discovered, so he went out in embarrassment and crossed the clearing in the middle of the woods to the front of the thatched house.
"Senior, I didn't mean to offend, I started to think it was an assassin, so I chased here," Yin Shuangshuang said
I saw the door creak open, and out of it came a bald fat man in his fifties, fat and strong, with a bare upper body, and a pair of linen stools on the lower body, with a thick linen rope around his waist, and the whole looked like a kind eyebrow "Maitreya Buddha, the flesh on his face is overgrown, his neck is thick and short, and the flesh on his neck is layer by layer, like stacked waves, and a pair of straw sandals underneath.
This image is really a little different from the first family of the Ye Dynasty in Yin Shuangshuang's heart, and the mysterious and unfathomable image that is circulating in everyone's mouth, and I think it's not a Taoist priest? Why is it a bald head, I was stunned for a while when I saw it, and then I digested what I saw just now.
"Shuangshuang, your father has already told me what happened to you, I know you don't remember anything, how are you doing? Heard that the toxin is under control? Why don't you come to accompany me as an old man lately! You don't know that you used to be skinny, and you haven't been fishing in a long time? Our little Xuan'er misses you too? Xuan Ye said passionately as he pulled Yin Shuangshuang into the house
"Little Xuanxuan?" Yin Shuangshuang looked at the middle-aged man next to him who was over half a hundred years old, the corner of the man's mouth twitched helplessly, Yin Shuangshuang laughed, this is also Master Xuanye is also a god, it is so interesting.
"You go down the mountain tomorrow, remember to come back often, you come here to give you a good thing, you take it" Xuan Ye pulled Yin Shuangshuang into the back room, and even grabbed and dragged Yin Shuangshuang to sit down, and he was rummaging over on the bed, turning all his quilts to the ground, Yin Shuangshuang was curious about what he was looking for and stepped forward.
"What are you looking for?" Yin Shuangshuang picked up the futon on the ground and placed it on a table next to him.
"Looking for a good thing, something that can save your life when your life is in danger," he said, lifting the futon from the bed. There is a dark grid inside, he doesn't know what mechanism to touch, after opening inside, he saw a jade pendant placed inside, carved with cumbersome patterns, carved on the front of the jade pendant with a word, and the back is a forgotten word.
Xuan Ye took out the jade pendant and threw it to Yin Shuangshuang, Yin Shuangshuang thought it was some valuable item or something, but he didn't expect him to be so casual, so he hurriedly caught it, and after getting the jade pendant, he looked at it carefully.
"The texture of this jade pendant is dense and delicate, extremely tough, the color is crystal clear, and the color is also good, but what is the magic?" Yin Shuangshuang took the Zheyu pendant and looked at it carefully and said.
"No, but you remember, this jade pendant can be worn on your body from time to time" Xuan Ye said with an unfathomable face, ready to touch his beard, only to find that he didn't.
"Okay, you go back, now it's more exposed, let Xiao Xuanxuan send you!" After speaking, he then took the futon on the table, and fell asleep, with the words in his mouth, "Oh, it's been a tiring day, I slept!" ”
Yin Shuangshuang exited the thatched house, and the master beside Xuan Ye escorted her all the way back to the house and left.
On the roof outside, the black-clothed assassin Ping=, who had just visited Xuanye, did not leave, but sat on Yin Shuangshuang's roof, waiting for the little master to leave, and then flew down and came to Yin Shuangshuang's door
Yin Shuangshuang was going back to Kyoto, so his luggage was packed early, and there were not many other items in the house except for the furnishings.
The assassin stepped forward and sat down on a chair, looked at everything in the room, and after a while, walked forward, and looked at Yin Shuangshuang, who was already asleep, for a while, and then saw the lights on outside the house, and left without knowing anything.
