Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Man's Dream
Li Niang woke up in the morning in a bit of a trance, and she couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality. What happened to that dream in the end? Where did Master go? She thought about it for a while, and she had a splitting headache again and had to give up thinking.
She got up and washed up, pushed the door and went out to the east wing and walked slowly, she was about to see her senior brother when she went up the mountain, and she didn't see it clearly after a hurried glance yesterday. Thinking of this, Li Niang hurriedly lowered her head and checked her clothes, not knowing if the senior brother liked this skirt or not.
"Open the door and take her up the hill with us." Li Niang said casually while smoothing the wrinkles on her clothes.
The guard opened the door and screamed.
Li Niang pushed away the guards and shouted, "What are you calling? "There was no figure on the haystack in front of me, only a rope that had been untied, and a large amount of daylight was shining through the roof.
Li's girlish breath was unsteady, and her eyes were bloodshot. He roared gloomily, "People have run away, and you don't know it." ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, one of his subordinates knew that this was a precursor to Liniang's illness, so he hurriedly brought a small medicine bottle and put it under Liniang's nose and sniffed it, and Liniang slowly calmed down.
This Li-sama is sick, and her subordinates know about it, but not many people have actually seen her sick. There are mostly legends about her condition, what is the onset of her blood-red eyes, bloody mouth, infinite strength, murderous like numbness. But when I asked her about it later, she couldn't remember what she had done when she got sick. Therefore, his subordinates were afraid that she would be killed by her when she became ill. Fortunately, she is not stimulated and does not get sick often.
Li Niang said coldly: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped." I'll send you two when I get back. After saying that, he took the rest of his men out and hurried up the mountain. When I was about to reach the mountain gate of Yunmeng Valley, I saw that the mountain gate was full of people from a distance. Li Niang saw that the person in white who was standing at the head was the senior brother she had been thinking about for a long time.
But the distance was a little far away, and she couldn't see the face of her senior brother clearly, so Liniang was a little anxious and sped up her pace towards the mountain gate. When she saw her face clearly, Li Niang stopped suddenly, and her cold arrow-like gaze stabbed her heart fiercely, making her feel difficult to breathe for a while.
"Aunt Li, don't be confused, my senior brother will never allow you to hurt Sister Ruyi." Su Ruiqing was also carried over at some point, and shouted anxiously. She didn't know that Ruyi had been rescued.
Li Niang narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Young master, your Ruyi sister is no longer with me, I am here to take you back." ”
Without waiting for Su Ruiqing to answer, Guigu said coldly: "Li Niang, you have had enough of playing outside for so many years, right?" It's time to come back to my teacher and ask for sin. ”
Li Niang looked up and looked straight at her senior brother, who said to let her go back to the senior brother, how long has the senior brother not spoken to her. The last thing he said was that there was no longer her sister.
Guigu didn't avoid her gaze, and looked at her for a moment, but there was more tumbling emotion in his eyes.
The people around him stopped interjecting and were very quiet. Just when Liniang thought that this was the wilderness of the earth. A clear and clear voice sounded suddenly: "I want to know how my mother died back then?" The voice came from the direction behind Li Niang.
Everyone looked behind Li Niang, and the person who came was Ruyi, followed by Zhang Yi and Su Qin.
As soon as Guigu heard this, his mind was clear, and he immediately understood that Lin Yue was probably killed by his junior sister, and his heart could no longer be calm, so he reached out and pulled out the soft sword on his waist in a few breaths and jumped up. Li Niang saw that the sword was pointing directly at the door, and her heart was desolate, but her face became more and more ruthless.
Everyone had never seen the master practice martial arts, and they all thought that the master didn't know martial arts, so they were all on the spot for a while.
Guigu approached Li Niang, and Li Niang also drew her sword to meet her, and the two fought together, but they were not entangled. Obviously, the ghost valley has an absolute advantage. Only then did everyone know that the master's martial arts were so good.
Li Niang's heart was full of panic, senior brother was pressing, there was no room and affection, and he was angry for a while and couldn't care about anything else and shouted: "Senior brother, you better hurry up and hand over "War ......"
Guigu's eyes were fierce, and he shouted, "Have you forgotten the oath you made in front of Master? ”
Everyone whispered, could it be the long-lost ancient book "Warring States Policy".
The two left the crowd with a fight, Su Qin was a little anxious, and shouted softly in the crowd: "Master." Guigu gave everyone a waiting look. Li Niang also signaled to her subordinates to wait here at this time.
The two fought farther and farther into the woods.
Neither side dared to move, only the three of Ruyi crossed Li Niang's men and walked to their senior brothers.
Su Ruiqing looked at Ruyi with some concern, but Ruyi just smiled at her comforting and didn't say much.
Minute by minute.
Here, Guigu has escorted Li Niang to the master's tablet. Guigu originally planned to clean up the portal today, so he lined up the master's tablet in the main hall of the bamboo building where he lived early in the morning.
Guigu didn't pity Li Niang to the ground, "You look at Master's spirit card, tell me what you have done over the years, are you worthy of Master?" ”
Li Niang looked at the master's tablet and was confused for a while, why did the master die? She looked at the master's tablet and gradually became difficult to breathe, gasping violently, her eyes were blood-red, and she suddenly covered her head like a madness and screamed fiercely, and the sound resounded through the valley.
Suddenly a shout was heard on the side of the mountain gate, and the people on both sides hurriedly ran towards the back mountain.
When I arrived in front of the bamboo building in Guigu, I saw that Liniang was already faint on the ground, with three silver needles on her head, and Guigu frowned and stood aside without saying a word.
If you think about this situation, you are a little puzzled, and Li Niang's subordinates all have a clear look. Su Ruiqing, who was hurriedly carried over, whispered for Ruyi, "Liniang is sick." An intermittent mania. The senior brother has not been cured for many years, and can only rely on drugs to suppress the onset of the disease. ”
At this time, Guigu's voice sounded coldly: "Take these people into custody, the others are scattered, Anping, you stay." At first, Li Niang's subordinates wanted to resist, but later they saw that they were indeed invincible, and the young master was also there, so they all obediently followed.
After everyone left, Guigu didn't say anything for a long time, looking at a certain point in a daze. And Ruyi didn't bother, looking at Liniang lying on the ground.
The sun has turned from east to center, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and after a while, my back is a little sweaty. Only then did Guigu come back to his senses and say to Ruyi, "Come in and talk." Casually lifted Li Niang into the bamboo building.
Guigu sat on the futon and said with some guilt and self-reproach: "I didn't expect that it would be because of me who killed your mother in the end." Guigu paused and continued, "They all think that I don't accept women as apprentices because I am hurt by love, and they all think that this love is my junior sister." In fact, my sister liked me, and then I couldn't allow me to be close to other women, and then the master found out that there were signs of madness, and forcibly took the younger sister back to the mountain, and the younger sister held a grudge, poisoned the master, and stole all the medical books, and it was too late for me to go. After saying that, he was annoyed.
Ruyi didn't know what to say, it was Master's past, tragic and bloody, and unfortunately it involved her mother. Ruyi doesn't know if loving someone will become paranoid, can be so crazy, so decisive, and if you can't get it, you will be destroyed. Thinking about it, I feel goosebumps all over my body, and Ruyi feels that this is not love, but a kind of morbid possession. There is no ego, no soul, which makes oneself hateful and terrible. Ruyi looked at Li Niang with some pity.
Guigu stood up and walked to the bamboo couch and stretched out his hand to pull out a silver needle in the middle of Liniang's head, Liniang woke up slowly, she had a long dream, similar dreams, different endings, and finally the master died, she killed it with her own hands. Thinking of this, tears welled up in Liniang's eyes unconsciously, and after crying, she found that there were other people in the room, senior brother, and people similar to that woman.
Li Niang laughed self-deprecatingly in her heart, that dream was her alone from beginning to end, and she never stayed in her brother's heart for half a minute.
Li Niang's heart has never been so clear as now, she remembers the wrong things she has done, and the person she is most sorry for is Master. Master loves her so much, knowing that she has been poisoned, he is still trying his best to persuade her, hoping that she will turn back. It's just that at that time, she was already in the witch.
"Senior brother, kill me." The voice was low and hoarse, but a little less cold, and Li Niang lowered her head and stopped looking away.
"Liniang, I just want to know how my mother died?" Ruyi hesitated for a moment but asked.
Li Niang looked up at Ruyi for a while before she said in a low voice: "Your mother did have a severe wind chill at that time, but it was not fatal, I mixed poison in the medicine, and it is up to you to kill or chop." ”
Ruyi confirmed her conjecture, so she stopped looking at her, turned to Guigu and said, "Master, you don't have a psychological burden, just do what you really want." I went for a walk outside. ”
Guigu was stunned in his heart but did not show it on his face, the most true intention, he really let him end his sister's life with his own hands, he couldn't do it, after all, it was his relatives who grew up together, even if she did a lot of wrong things, and even killed his most beloved master, but he still couldn't do it.
Li Niang also looked at the figure of Ruyi leaving in astonishment, she didn't look for her to take revenge, just to know the truth, whether this person is unintentional or really big-hearted, the revenge of killing her mother can be put down.
Li Niang turned her head to look at Guigu who was bowing her head and contemplating, this eyebrows, this grace, this man was what she liked since she was a child, how could she not see his hesitation. But even if the senior brother had the heart to let her go, how could she face him and face the dead master. So many lives are blood-drenched in front of me.
Li Niang called out in a low voice: "Senior brother." With the flow of his eyes, he gradually glowed with crystal, "I have done so many wrong things over the years that are irreparable, and I don't ask for forgiveness from my senior brother." But I want to make amends to Master and hope that He will forgive me one day. Can Senior Brother bury me next to Master's grave? Buried in our mountain streams. And this hexagonal spirit stone will be returned to you. As he spoke, he took out a hexagonal blue crystal from his bosom and handed it to Guigu.
Guigu suddenly took the spade, and it turned out that this spar was in Liniang's hand. I didn't react for a while, and then I saw that Li Niang had already raised her arm and waved it to her neck, and there was a cold light flashing between the sleeves and robes, and Guigu didn't see that it was too late to stop it. Blood was already gushing down the dagger in Liniang's hand.
Guigu walked and half-hugged Li Niang, and pressed a silk handkerchief on Li Niang's neck, "Li Niang, why are you so troubled." ”
Li Niang couldn't speak anymore, but she still looked at Guigu, "Senior brother... Yes...... Death is yours...... In the arms...... I have...... Contentment. The dagger fell to the ground with a clatter, and Liniang's arm hung down weakly.
In the blink of an eye, the valley of ghosts is a little dazed. He couldn't tell if he really wanted her to die. The scenes from my childhood are back in front of me, how did that delicate and lively girl become like this step by step?
In the next few days, Guigu disappeared, and none of them knew where the master had gone.
Ruyi was the last person to see the master, but she didn't talk about anyone who asked. Ruyi vaguely guessed that they had returned to their mountain.
On the fifth day, the master came back quietly and released Liniang's men, but Liniang never appeared again, but no one dared to ask about Liniang's whereabouts. Su Ruiqing asked quietly twice, and Ruyi only shook his head.
Some of the past is only suitable for burial, and there is no way to mention it, so there is no need to mention it again.
