Chapter 5: Spring (5)
In a long and gloomy dream, the rain continued, the lightning and thunder, the day seemed to be torn open, and the rain the size of beans fell.
All the shops in the streets were closed, and a girl in green clothes ran wildly down the slippery street, her hair and clothes were all drenched, but she did not stop until she got into a dark hole under a broken bridge, and the dark hole was full of rain and mud, and the girl hugged her knees and buried her head between her legs, silently praying in her heart that no one would find out here.
Soon, a few strong men chased after them, and they stood on top of the broken bridge and shouted, "Damn, where did that little girl go?" ”
"Hurry up and find it, it's a child daughter-in-law that Qianye bought at a great price, if we can't find it, we will all die."
"Quick, look, even if you turn this neighborhood over, you have to find that stinky girl for me!"
Several big men also scattered and began to look around for traces of the girl.
The little girl hiding under the dark hole raised her head and looked outside, her eyes were full of horror and despair, and her voice was full of crying: "Aunt Yun, where are you, I want to go home...... Woowoowoo......"
The rain was so strong that the raindrops hit the cave wall and made a crackling sound, as if in response to her sorrow...
"Drink!" The woman in Tsing Yi exclaimed in surprise and woke up from her dream, covered in cold sweat, her hands tightly grasping the clothes on her chest.
"Tang girl, are you having a nightmare?" The old man sitting across from him smiled.
"Just dreaming about something from the past." Tang Zhengyan sat up straight and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead slightly, "There is no one to stop me along the way, I'm afraid it's not a good thing." ”
"That's right, when you get to Tiannan City, that's the real danger." The old man nodded, he looked out of the carriage, "I have to let Shiquan come back as soon as possible." ”
Tang Zhengyan smiled: "It seems that Lord Executioner is very worthy of your reliance." ”
The old man took a sip of the water in the water bag and said lightly: "Fu Quan is indeed the only person I can trust for so many years as the pavilion master. So it's better for me to choose him as an executioner than to choose someone who will stab me in the future. ”
"That's just as well." Tang Zhengyan nodded, "That's right." There's another question I've always wanted to ask the Pavilion Master, which of the three doors is your surname. ”
The old man's brows furrowed instantly, and with a wave of his hand, the carriage instantly became quiet, and even the noise outside could not be heard.
"You know, this question is a secret in the Xuanwu Pavilion. Except for the executioner ghost like the Fu Quan, and the lord of the stake, anyone who tries to know, he cannot live in this world. ”
"If the Pavilion Master doesn't want me to know, then don't say it." Tang Zhengyan waved his hand.
"Hehe, my life is in the hands of the divine doctor, if you die, I can't live. If the doctor wants to know, he can tell you directly. The old man picked up a cigarette and spat out a puff of smoke.
"I have long forgotten which of the three I came from. After all, the Xuanwu Pavilion Master was selected from the three gates, and the first Pavilion Master was worried that the latecomers would have the idea of favoritism. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the first pavilion master asked people to refine the Forgetfulness Pill, and the next pavilion master who was selected would take the medicine as long as he took the waist card in front of the Guan master, and then forgot the past clouds and smoke and gave a new name. At this point, that person is no longer a person from the Three Gates, but the pavilion master who is in charge of the Xuanwu Pavilion. The old man lit his cigarette stick, took a deep breath, and then exhaled the smoke.
"After becoming the pavilion master, I was given the surname Xu, the word Shubin."
"It's actually surnamed Xu, and the executioner ghost is also the same surname as you, haven't you also taken the Forgetfulness Pill." Tang Zhengya covered her mouth in surprise.
Xu Xiaobin nodded: "Yes, every executioner ghost also follows the rules of the pavilion master." However, there is something special about Fu Quan, he is the second to follow me, and he is also the only one among the executioners of the past who has not taken the Forgetfulness Pill. ”
"Why is that?" Tang Zheng said confusedly.
Xu Shubin put down the cigarette stick and said faintly: "Because he is a wordless person." ”
"The wordless? Could it be that the executioner ghost came out of Nirvana? ”
Xu Shubin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he grabbed Tang Zhengya's shoulder: "Zhengya, you actually know the wordless person of Nirvana?" This is a forbidden thing in the Xuanwu Pavilion, could it be that your master told you? ”
"When I was a child, I pestered my master to tell me stories every day, so I knew a little bit about it." Tang Zhengya took out a piece of mung bean cake from the medicine box and took a bite, "Please rest assured, the master let me make an oath before leaving, and Zhengya will never leak half a sentence about Xuanwu Pavilion until he dies." ”
"Oh? Then tell me what your master said? Xu Shubin asked.
"The master said that Xuanwu Pavilion was founded by two white-clothed gentlemen in the rivers and lakes, and it became the number one killer organization in the world in just one month, and there were not three sects at that time. Later, as the difficulty of the task gradually increased, many members lost more money. In addition, no one entered the pavilion, and over time, the Xuanwu Pavilion began to go to a low point. Soon, Xuanwu Pavilion changed its plan and sent people to explore the rivers and lakes, and all children with extraordinary roots, whether they were orphans or famous families in the rivers and lakes, would be taken away by Xuanwu Pavilion. Bring it back to the Xuanwu Pavilion and become a wordless person to cultivate in the three gates, and then be selected by the master of the three gates, and only by passing the task set by the door master can you be eligible to be given a surname and a name. After Tang Zhengyan finished speaking calmly, he looked at the pavilion master.
Xu Shubin's face was gloomy, his hand was on the hilt of the sword beside him, and the next moment, the sword in his hand was pointed in front of Tang Zheng Ayayubai's neck, and the murderous aura revealed on the pavilion master's body at this time made the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly tense.
Tang Zhengyan frowned and said, "Pavilion Master, is this going to kill me?" ”
Xu Xiaobin didn't respond, but stared at her coldly.
After a moment of silence, there was a knock on the door of the carriage, and Xu Shubin waved his hand again and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Pavilion master, I have arrived at the Vermilion Bird Tower." The cloud unicorn outside the carriage replied.
"Tell me to go down and rest here for three quarters of an hour."
"Yes." Yun Qilin was ordered to leave.
Xu Xuanbin put the sword back into the sheath and said lightly: "Girl, don't let anyone know about this matter, otherwise you will really die." Then he opened the wooden door and stepped out of the carriage.
Seeing the pavilion master leave the carriage, Tang Zhengya dared to breathe a sigh of relief, she leaned against the wall of the carriage, patted her chest, and her body was covered with cold sweat. If she wasn't a divine doctor, I'm afraid the Pavilion Master would have really stabbed her throat with a sword just now.
At this moment, the door of the carriage was pushed open, and Yun Qilin walked in, "Doctor Tang, the pavilion master is invited." ”
"Got it." Tang Zhengya picked up the medicine box on his back, walked out of the carriage, and then walked forward beside Yun Qilin, and before he reached the pavilion master's room, he heard a cry of surprise from a distance.
Tang Zhengya and the others heard the sound and hurriedly rushed into the room, only to find that the pavilion master was sitting on the bed, the breath on his body was surging, like a beast being bound, and when he looked up at Yun Qilin, he roared: "Get out!" ”
"Lord Qilin, let's go out first, and the pavilion master will just leave it to me." Tang Zhengya hurriedly stood in front of Yun Qilin.
Yun Qilin hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, turned and walked out of the room.
Tang Zhengya stretched out her hand and slapped Xu Shubin on the forehead, and then slapped it to her chest, at this time the breath slowly dissipated, Xu Shubin's strength was suppressed, and then she stretched out her fingers and flicked it, and a few small silver needles were inserted into the place where she had been hit by the palm just now, and Xu Shubin fell asleep.
Tang Zhengya pursed her lips: "Fortunately, there is me, otherwise you would have almost killed you with insect poison with your internal force." Besides, if you die, my consultation fee will be gone, so I won't lose a lot. ”
"Forget it, don't disturb your rest, go for a walk."
Tang Zhengya picked up the medicine box, turned around and walked out.
When I came out of the room, I saw a woman wearing a Suzaku mask looking up at the moon tonight.
Tang Zhengyan stepped forward and asked, "Sister, what are you looking at?" ”
"The moon is very nice tonight, I want to see more." Suzaku turned around and looked at this Tang Divine Doctor, "What is the pavilion master's body now?" ”
"Just now, the poisonous insect backlashed, and I have suppressed it. But you need the pavilion master to rest for half an hour, and then do another needle before you can go on the road, can you hold it? Tang Zhengya asked.
Suzaku nodded: "The divine doctor only needs to heal the pavilion master, and we will handle the rest of the matter." ”
