Chapter Sixty-Eight: Your Country, I've Contracted
A look of surprise appeared in Xue Yun's eyes, and he asked again, "Do you really have heavenly silk?" β
"Huh! You don't have to beg to see it! This kind of rare thing that is hard to buy is something that no one will carry with them all the time! Xue He hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"I heard that the Hundred Ghost Collection is here, and today I just came to explore the way! When the day comes, I will naturally bring things with me. It's just that when the time comes, it will inevitably be the one with the highest price! Whether it can fall into your hands in the end is a matter of two words. β
"What do you want?"
"My master has great powers! In order to cultivate immortals, you need to catch people's souls to eat. β
Xue He continued: "If I can't catch the soul for him, he will eat me!" So, I just need the best soul to exchange! If you have, the silk is yours! β
A pair of purple eyes closed slightly, and Xue Yun didn't speak, but suddenly squinted his eyes and looked at her carefully.
Intuitively, this person is much more difficult to deal with than a cup of snow. Xue He was faintly nervous in her heart, looking at the mysterious and cold purple eyes, which seemed to be flashing with a stunning yinwu, there was always a sense of coercion that she would take someone's life at any time when she could talk and laugh.
As her eyes suddenly froze, Xue He secretly said in her heart that it was not good, and as soon as she raised her legs and wanted to run, she saw her long sleeves relaxed, and the purple light yarn was like a flexible snake, and Xue He's body was tightly tied together and couldn't move after a few clicks:
"Wow! What are you doing! β
The angular lip line of Zhiyun was lightly picked: "Use your life to exchange your heavenly silk, what do you think?" β
"Robbery! You're a robbery! Snow River protested loudly.
"Yes, you're right."
Xue He rolled his eyes in anger, but at this time, he was even deprived of the right to show his teeth and claws.
Seeing this, Cup Xue was also surprised: "Sister! β¦β¦ That's not good. β
"I think this girl is very ghostly, she must have some origins."
"That's right! I'm big-headed! Dare to touch me? Look at my master not cooking you! β
When Xue He wanted to say more, she sealed her mouth, and the whole person was tied up like a dumpling, leaving only two eyes to move.
Xue Yun grabbed the arm of the cup of snow: "Let's go, let's go back." β
As he spoke, his hand shook, and before he could react, Xue He was casually thrown into a hole, and as soon as his eyes were black, he rolled indiscriminately and fell into the depths.
I don't know how far I rolled, my whole body was hit by the hard cave wall, and I was dizzy and my eyes were full of stars. At the end, it was like an object that fell on something cold and hard before it finally stopped.
Simple and brutal, yet brutal.
"Huh...... It hurts to death. β
Xue He groaned and barely opened his eyes, and sat up with support. Only then did he realize that he had fallen on a hill made of gold and silver treasures, and the yellow and white things full of Burling and Bling were almost blinding: "-! β
Presumably, Zhiyun noticed that she was powerless, so the purple yarn that bound her did not cast a spell. She just sat on the ground and struggled casually before letting go of her hands, untying the ropes and stretching her limbs while curiously looking at the unfamiliar environment.
This monster cave is really wide! The ground is full of gold and silver jewelry, cups, saucers, pots and bowls, all kinds of utensils, large and small square round gold ingots and gold nuggets, shining dazzling brilliance under the faint blue light like ghost fire, but there is a strange and eerie feeling, as if it is a mistake to break into the burial chamber of a local tyrant or nobleman.
The entrance to this cave is chosen to be secret, and the inside is also extended in all directions, and there is a feeling of three caves of cunning rabbits. She couldn't help but think that if the third brother and they came to find it, I was afraid that it would be really difficult to find it if there was no one to guide her.
The cave is brilliantly lit, with a total of eight rooms, which is really 'extending in all directions':
The one that Snow River fell into seemed to be a storage room, and the ground was full of knee-deep gold bars, nuggets, ingots, bracelets, and gold beads, which were somewhat similar to the style of horse bandits; There were all sorts of things, some of them seemed to have been looted from caravans or the homes of wealthy families, and some were dug up from tombs; Some of the gold ingots still bear the fire mark of the government, and some of the utensils look strangely shaped and engraved with tadpole-like foreign charactersβalthough most of them are expensive, they seem to have been piled on the ground without care.
"Qin Bai, you little rabbit cub, your luck is so good! It's really developed this time! β
Xue He picked up his skirt and turned around in the dazzling gold and silver treasures, and couldn't help but say to himself: "I really want to throw this money directly in the face of the little emperor - your country, I have contracted it!" β
Although there are mountains of gold and silver at home, it makes people feel that the owner is not greedy for money. You must know that people who are truly greedy for money will not dispose of their belongings so casually, at least they will put them neatly for the convenience of counting, and they will not easily show these yellow and white things to others.
Outside, the adjacent room is probably a meditation room for cultivation, with futons on the arhat bed, calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and purple smoke wafting from the jade furnace, but nothing elseβthere are no decorations or furniture, but it is really pure and desired.
Xue He walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and his eyes fell on the writing on the wall. In just a few lines of poetry, the layout is exquisite and staggered, the font is beautiful and ethereal, and it is elegant and free, and it is from the hand of a talented woman at a glance.
However, the last sentence "The oblique wind and drizzle do not need to return", obviously deliberately imitated the font in front, but the horizontal and vertical skimming revealed the edge, and the spirit was flying, and the pen was unconcealed between the unruly wind and bones-
The corners of Xue He's lips rose slightly: That's the fourth brother's handwriting, that's right.
The fourth brother has a strange temper, although he has been instructed by experts in reading and writing, he rarely shows off in front of others. He practiced a good swordsmanship, calligraphy and swordsmanship, no matter how deliberately hidden, that arrogance, or the edges and corners of his personality, could not be hidden.
Looking at this character, it immediately reminds people of the pair like a beautiful person, standing in front of the bookcase, Lang Qing and concubine will write a long scroll, what a picture of affection!
Tut-tut, this love show is advanced!
Xue He, who was unconsciously sour into lemon essence, was looking at the words with emotion, and heard a sound of footsteps in the distance outside:
"Sister, you don't hurt her life......"
"Okay, I know, I've got my own measure!"
Shuyun turned around and closed the door, and the room was quiet again. She walked in front of Xue He, and her tone was still cold:
"You have also seen the treasures in my cave, and if you want anything, just ask, I will never bargain."
Xue He suddenly felt that compared to the cup of snow that was beautiful on the outside and gentle and kind on the inside, although Zhiyun looked a little cruel, he was actually very soft inside. Appearances can deceive, but calligraphy can't.
She suddenly understood why the fourth brother fell in love with Zhuyun. Although the cup of snow seems to be weak and the little bird seems to be more likely to be liked by men, Zhuyun has a strong and flexible personality, and his heart is rich and strong, which is really more attractive to the smart and wise fourth brother.
"I want this."
Xue He pointed to the calligraphy and painting on the wall.
Xue Yun frowned imperceptibly and hesitated for a moment: "Why?" β
Xue He keenly noticed the reluctance flashing in her eyes, which showed the weight of this thing in her heart. It may seem like an ordinary calligraphy and painting to outsiders, but to her, it is an indelible and precious memory.
In this world, only love and fear cannot be concealed.
Xue He smiled indifferently and said deliberately: "Don't hide it, in addition to loving cannibalism, my master's second hobby is collecting calligraphy and paintings. Especially like this kind of writing and painting, he likes it the most! Even if you give him a soul, you won't change it! β
Xue Yun shook his head: "Except for this one, the others are up to you." β
"If you still have him in your heart, why do you want to kill him?" Xue He asked suddenly.
Zhu Yun was stunned: "Who the hell are you?" β
Xue He said calmly: "We have ten brothers and sisters, and you took away the Yuan Shen, and this is my fourth brother." At the end of my trip, it will be called the Snow River. β
Suyun's face darkened.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to fight you."
Xue He spread his hands: "You see, I don't know spells, and I'm not here to seek revenge on you." β
The clear silver eyes are like a bottom-out autumn water, looking at the pair of demon pupils full of vigilance.
"I know what kind of person my fourth brother is. It must have been his insulting words that hurt you first, and then he attracted resentment, and finally ended up like this. And if you can take away his primordial god, he must be willing. β
Xue He continued: "To tell you the truth, my brothers are all Heavenly Officials of the Heavenly Court, and I am afraid that this matter is not as simple as you think. β
When Xue Yun heard this, he smiled indifferently: "It's a big deal, I'll give you my cheap life!" β
Xuehe shook his head: "Or just for this, I won't run to you alone." β
Zhuyun didn't understand it. The little girl in front of her is petite, her appearance is delicate, there is no fairy or demonic energy on her body, and her eyes are sometimes clever and cunning, sometimes pure and sincere, which makes people a little unable to see through.
"I know you certainly didn't mean to kill him. And my fourth brother must have you in his heart. β
Xue He's gaze returned to the calligraphy and painting, and then said: "I really hope that you can do well, so I want to mediate and sincerely want to help you." β
"I don't need your help."
"I know you've suffered a lot over the years. In order to repair the broken strings of the cup of snow, you do not hesitate to fall into the devil's path. β
Xue He looked into her eyes: "How much you feel sorry for her, how much you hate the fourth brother for hurting her." But have you ever thought that the fourth brother has his own ideas. How could a proud and stubborn man be pushed around like an object by your sisters? The person he likes is you, even if he can give you his life, how can you give away his affection for the sake of sisterhood? β
"There's no going back."
Zhuyun, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "It's too late, my hands are covered with blood, you don't know what kind of blood I have walked...... I'm afraid that for a lifetime, no, eternal life and eternity will not be able to enter reincarnation. β
The purple eyes full of demonic energy were dyed with a touch of sadness, but they flashed in a flash, and only said with a little bitterness:
"You're right, I didn't want to hurt his life. But now I'm like this...... I've taken too many souls, and the evil aura is too heavy, except for the Ghost Valley, I'm afraid that the Three Realms won't be able to tolerate me. β
As she spoke, Xue Yun slowly unfolded her palm in front of her, and a golden light appeared like a star: "You let them kill me, and I will return his primordial god to you." It's just that the cup of snow is innocent, and I implore you to let her go. β
"No, no, no, that's not what I want!"
