Chapter 4 Pass the Customs
There is a pair of tables and chairs in the courtyard, which are made of common stones, and there is a pool of snow stored in the stone table.
Gu Shiyan sat against the tree, like an ice sculpture, it was cold at the moment, but there was a fire of ignorance in his body, wanting to break out of his shoulder, his underwear was already soaked, and he was coldly attached to his body. It's useless, no one can save her. Just waiting, the candlelight reflected the girl on the square window, and the moonlight reflected the girl on the snow.
Rubbing the marks on these double rings, Gu Shiyan remembered everyone's name. This pair of rings was given to him by Tian Yuan, one on the left and one on the left and one on the left and right index fingers, not because of the double rings to practice this martial arts, but because of Gu Shiyan's strong finger power, this pair of ordinary rings turned into a killing weapon.
The first mark is called Hua Sangui.
"Squeak-" The window on the west side of the second floor opened, and when he heard the sound, he stepped on the old ice and climbed into the room by the tree, and there was only a table and a chair, and the gold and jade cards stood against the wall.
"Can the Holy Maiden think about it?" Gu Shiyan sat on the square window, his legs swaying, and the heat in the stove was like a spring breeze. Under the moonlight, Gu Shiyan seemed to have returned to the small temple last night, and at this moment, Jin Yuka stood there, and he actually felt the divinity in a young girl.
"I can detoxify you, and your life is mine." Jin Yuka told the story, and the girl's tail note was like meeting a favorite object in the market.
"I have to give my life." Gu Shiyan came to the girl and kept a sword distance. I saw Jin Yuka take a piece of white fungus from his chest, cut his fingertips, and the blood quickly dyed red along the lines of the white fungus. Gu Shiyan saw that she pointed to her left shoulder, and showed her shoulder without suspicion, the mandala was already as red as the blood of her fingertips.
Jin Yuka took advantage of the hot blood to stab the white fungus into Gu Shiyan's shoulder, right in the heart, and the blood that flowed out turned out to be black, drowning the small white fungus.
"When the blood turns red, your life will be mine." It's so simple, I just hate myself for not having the courage to scrape my bones and heal my wounds.
"It's useless to cut off your own arm." Gu Shiyan didn't want to delve into the mysterious ingredients, so he sat on the chair and felt the changes in his body.
"Are you very good at martial arts?" Gu Shiyan opened his eyes and saw Jin Yuka holding his chin with both hands, blinking at himself. "It's okay."
"My business is very difficult." Gu Shiyan could guess that the holy daughter of Nanzhao must have been tripped up in Chang'an by something. "If not, why don't you die early and be born early?" Jin Yuka clasped his palms, as if he was going to urge some magic again.
"The first assassin in Chang'an." As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless, but Gu Shiyan has tasted all the hardships.
"Then why don't you kill me and still live."
"You and I have no grievances, why did I kill you?"
"You should hate me for doing this to you."
"This is my business with the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, and it has nothing to do with you." Jin Yuka heard that standing up straight, she had tasted a hundred poisons since she was a child and turned herself into a walking Gu cup, time and poison took away her childhood partner, even if she was called a saint, it would still bring disaster and panic to others, but the person in front of her, the person who had been tortured for a day, said that her pain had nothing to do with her.
She's not afraid of her, she doesn't blame her. "Don't think you don't have to do things for me." seems to be afraid that Gu Shiyan will regret it, or he may have a weak heart.
"It's a good thing." Gu Shiyan's ink-colored robe was soaked with black blood, like a cluster of camellia flowers floating in the dark. "Now I need clean clothes, can the Holy Maiden help me find one?"
Gu Shiyan changed into the clothes of the golden jade card, he was dressed in tile blue, and the Nanzhao clothes without silver jewelry were still not eye-catching.
"What is the matter with the Holy Maiden?"
"I want you to help me bring someone out."
"Where is this man now?"
"The man is in the dungeon of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau." Dongfang Xuan pushed the door in.
"Where's the dungeon?"
"The dungeon is at the bottom of the back mountain."
"Where's the back mountain?"
"The back hill is on top of the dungeon."
"Can you explain?" Gu Shiyan was beaten by Dongfang Xuanjiaoerlang.
"I can't." Gu Shiyan endured his temper, but his hands were already pinched. "For there is no place to go, and all who go there are dead." Dongfang Xuan picked up the small wine jar and took a sip, and said slowly with a serious face.
"Have you ever been?"
"I'm here because I haven't been." Dongfang Xuan crossed his waist with one hand and lifted the wine jar with the other, as if he was talking about his glorious deeds. But it seems that he is serious, because his mouth is smiling, but his eyes are vigilant.
"There's such a great place, it looks like I have to go." Gu Shiyan got up and walked to the window, and heard the snow squirting on the window lattice, although he was smiling and his eyes were sharp, this may also be a trap, people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, and now that they have done something wrong, it is reasonable for the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau to knock it.
"Such an important place must be heavily guarded, and if you want to find it, you will definitely be able to find it."
"Are you determined to go? Now we can't keep it if you go straight down from here. Jin Yuka and Dongfang Xuan stood side by side, one carrying the wine jar, the other was extravagant, but Gu Shiyan felt that the two of them were standing there like black and white impermanence, did their lives really be saved?
"It doesn't matter if you can bring people out, what matters is whether you want to go or not." Gu Shiyan pushed open the window, and now she is comfortable and ready to go. "How do I know that man, or on what basis does that person believe in me?"
Jin Yuka took out a silver hairpin from his head, which was very simple, and Gu Shiyan took it in his hand, only to find that the pattern on the surface of the hairpin was a little uneven. "It's a token she gave me, and if you pin it to your head, she'll recognize you." Gu Shiyan pointed the hairpin to the candlelight, and there seemed to be something in it. "This is highly poisonous, and if you insert it into your body, the glass at the end of the hairpin will be shattered, and the poisonous water will flow out."
"You Nanzhao are really ruthless, your friend gave you this." Gu Shiyan touched the red beads on the hairpin tail, like a drop of blood condensed on it, for fear that it would drip down, thinking of the pain in her left shoulder, she couldn't help but shiver, and quickly pinned the hairpin in a convenient place, which was also the only jewelry on her body.
"I'm leaving, you two will wait for me at Ximing Temple in the north of the city tomorrow at noon." Gu Shiyan was in high spirits, and he was about to leave, but he was pulled by someone, and when he turned around, he saw that it was a golden jade card.
"If you can't run, I don't want to hurt you again." Gu Shiyan was a little moved in his heart, and reached out to pat the back of the girl's slender hand, "I know this, see you tomorrow." With that, he pushed open the window and turned over, sweeping towards the wind and snow.
"What's her name?" Jin Yuka straightened the chair and blew out the lamp on the table.
"I don't know." Dongfang Xuan drank the last sip of wine in the wine jar, and the wine jar was slapped on the table with a muffled sound.
"What's the name of the first assassin in Chang'an?"
"Nobody knows." Dongfang Xuan turned around and went downstairs, and his pace did not change because of drinking. That's right, greedy cups and mistakes, and wine is also emboldened.
"Why are you here?" Gu Shiyan detained the person who was following him, but at first glance, he was Dongfang Xuan, who was a little blushing. This is not a place where soldiers must fight, Gu Shiyan is just curious about how he can keep up with him.
"If I don't lead the way, how will you go?"
"Then you can tell me now."
"Nope." Gu Shiyan clenched his fist tightly by the collar, Dongfang Xuan was a head taller than her, and now he looked like a little chicken being carried.
"I want to go."
"You just said you'd die."
"I said you should go too, why can't I go?"
"I have a reason."
"I also have a reason, I want to see what is so great about this place."
"That's not a good reason."
"It's good for me." Gu Shiyan didn't want to take him there. Dongfang Xuan also understood her thoughts, "Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you, and you don't have to save me at a critical time." Gu Shiyan thought for a moment, turned his head and left.
"This is it." Dongfang Xuan actually followed closely and came with his front and back feet. "You've taken a detour, I'll be waiting for you here early in the morning." Gu Shiyan didn't speak, his chin raised, and motioned for him to lead the way.
Dongfang Xuan took out a bag of things from his sleeve, hid it in the grass, and walked into the rockery with a wave of his big hand. Gu Shiyan followed in, and suddenly felt dizzy and feverish, Dongfang Xuan put a fresh ginger slice under Gu Shiyan's nose, although he said that he was conscious, but the dizziness was still difficult to relieve.
"Just get out of this way, hold on." Gu Shiyan nodded to indicate that he was fine, and suddenly his left hand was dragged by an unknown force against the stone wall, and when he looked closely, the ring was sucked on it. "Why do you still have jewelry on you?" Gu Shiyan took his hand off the ring, and wanted to take the ring off but had no choice.
"I'll come." I saw Dongfang Xuan pushing the ring to the entrance of the cave like rolling an iron ring, and finally came down. Gu Shiyan followed behind him and also took off the ring of his right finger. As soon as I came out, I felt dizzy, and there was such a large magnet here. Dongfang Xuan ran to the place where he had just thrown the cloth bag, and the two rings fell into the bag with a clang.
"Follow me, let's go this time." Gu Shiyan walked behind, the double ring was not there, and he felt that his hand was empty. After about a few dozen steps, I smelled the smell of water, it was the depths of winter, and the water here was not frozen. The eyes are as black as the eyes are closed. The fire was lit in one breath, and Dongfang Xuan's face was reflected behind the faint light.
"The entrance is on the other side, but it's a pity that I don't know martial arts." Knowing this information and feeling the darkness, you can feel a breeze, not even a wind, just a breath of air flowing slowly. Gu Shiyan confirmed the general direction, grabbed Dongfang Xuan's back belt, stepped on the stone wall and landed on the opposite platform.
"It's good to have the ability, if I can come out alive, I will definitely practice hard." Gu Shiyan ignored him and moved forward cautiously. At this point, I really found the door, and it wasn't so big outside, it must have been a section of the underground river just now. At this point, not a single guard was met, and he wanted to surround a stone rockery and call it three hundred taels of silver.
"Isn't it! Come back! Dongfang Xuan stuck to the wall from head to toe, not daring to move, just now he stepped on a broken stone slab, and this place became a training ground, only to find that the stone soldiers standing on both sides of the road have become ruthless killing machines.
The stone warriors were seven feet tall, and they didn't move very fast, so they couldn't stand so many. Gu Shiyan was among them, and a punch and kick was like hitting cotton. "Tell them to stop."
"I've never been here." Dongfang Xuan hid in the corner, for fear that this group of stone blind people would find out. These fakes, where can you see people, the back of the knife is the way to live.
Gu Shiyan changed from stepping on, squatting on the avatar and unable to stand up, moving forward shoulder after shoulder. "No, what should I do if you're gone!"
Suddenly, all the stone statues stopped moving mechanically, "Come here." Dongfang Xuan clinged to the bottom of the stone seat, and ran over with a rolling belt, and the axe he raised stopped in the air, not daring to look up and take a second look. The movement is so loud, it is estimated that the people inside have already reacted. ”
"I don't think there's a guard here." Gu Shiyan pointed to the moss behind him, if there were people, it would not be so complete. "This past will definitely leave traces, such a long road still carries me." Dongfang Xuan's worries are also reasonable.
"Then can you wait for me here alone?" Dongfang Xuan followed Gu Shiyan's gaze and saw that he was a stone martial god with a hideous face. "Nope."
"Then please ask Dongfang Gongzi not to hide his martial arts anymore." After speaking, Gu Shiyan jumped up gently, like a bamboo leaf, riding the wind forward. Dongfang Xuan was stunned, it was really boring to continue acting, and the co-author in the play became the audience's master.
Soon the people behind him followed, and they followed too well, and they were going to be annoyed to death. "How did you find out?" Gu Shiyan didn't want to deal with him, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person......"
The two landed at the same time, "What are your intentions?" "This person's martial arts are not below him, at least in light skills." I won't hurt you. The moonlight sprinkled on Dongfang Xuan's face through the brick cracks, the blush of drinking had faded, and the disguise of Hang'er Langdang was also removed, Gu Shiyan looked at the man in front of him seriously for the first time, and his amorous eyes made people feel strange and strange at the moment, the friendship was shallow, but it seemed that they had known each other for a long time, and the two maintained a distance of seven feet, and they had no trust but had to be at a safe distance side by side. Not long after the confrontation, Dongfang Xuan raised his hands in submission as if he had seen it for the first time.
"The two young heroes are so skilled." A deep voice came from the darkness in the distance. At this moment, both sides are hidden in the dark, and there are gaps in the stone wall above that can penetrate the moonlight, and Gu Shiyan has the certainty of breaking out of the encirclement.
With a clapping of hands, the candlelight of the Yongdao was lit up, and the palm wind became stronger in the narrow corridor, and Dongfang Xuan's hair bun moved slightly, standing in front of Gu Shiyan.
"Why are you everywhere?" Dongfang Xuan asked reasonably, and those who didn't know thought that this was his home. "Uninvited, I should ask you." Deng Dinghou is still smiling, as the chief dart head of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, it is also reasonable. "I have no grievances with Your Excellency, if Your Excellency is willing to return the things to the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, I can treat this incident as if it never happened."
"Is there any evidence for Mr. Deng's dart?" As he spoke, Gu Shiyan held the hilt of the sword in his sleeve, and now in this scene, he can only believe in himself.
"The fact that the two of them appeared here in the middle of the night is proof of this. There are a lot of rooms here, you can choose, and when you figure it out, feel free to come to me. ”
Dongfang Xuan sneered and shook his head, and took out a jasper key from his waist, Gu Shiyan saw that his head was even more messy. Dongfang Xuan pursed his lips and chuckled, but his eyes were full of coldness, "What did Zhenyuan Dart Bureau lose this thing for?" ”
"Good! Everything is negotiable. Say, what do you want? Dongfang Xuan's index finger turned around on the tip of his finger with the key, "Jin Yuru." "It turns out that Jin Yuka begged me to save Jin Yuru, obviously Dongfang Xuan knows more, and it shouldn't be difficult with his martial arts, why did it take so long to come? Gu Shiyan still looked like a cold-faced killer on his face, and he had already thought about it a long way in his heart.
Hearing this name, in addition to Gu Shiyan, Deng Dinghou obviously also had his own thoughts, and the smile on his face that was determined to win disappeared.
"There are only two people in this world who will come to her." Dongfang Xuan raised his hand, threw the key and caught it, and Deng Dinghou's heart also went up and down, "Clear the dungeon, prepare three more horses, and now you take us there." ”
"Do as he says, and you two will come with me." The sound of heartbeat suddenly disappeared a lot, and the two looked at each other and followed.
Many cells on the road were empty, until the end, there was not even a white candle, Deng Dinghou took out a torch from the roadside box and lit it, smiled Yan Yan turned around and motioned for the two to take it themselves. Gu Shiyan took one, Dongfang Xuan didn't move, and looked at the depths of the dungeon.
There was a woman in the depths of the dungeon, very thin, but in the depths of winter, the man was only wearing a white linen robe, which was quite clean, and the normal sleeves were lined with wide leather and bony arms. The woman's head hung down, the light of the fire reflected in her almost brown hair. No one spoke.
Dongfang Xuan stuffed the key into Gu Shiyan's hand, and ran over to hold her in his arms, but the woman was so frightened that she began to punch and kick, of course, there was no power, except that she was too thin, the chains on her hands made a slow sound as the woman struggled, and the shelves on her ankles made her ankles red.
"Aru, don't be afraid, I'm here." Dongfang Xuan held the woman in his arms and stopped her from moving around and getting hurt, she was like a piece of ice with a breathing heartbeat, and Dongfang Xuan's heart was broken together.
Warmth is useful, the woman's mood is a little calmer, lying on Dongfang Xuan's shoulder, her hair covering one eye, and seeing the silver hairpin on Gu Shiyan's head under the torch at a glance, the person who has just quieted down began to get excited again, patting Dongfang Xuan's back with both hands, pointing at Gu Shiyan speechless, bean-sized tears slipped down his cheeks, and his lover's tears made Dongfang Xuan feel that the back of his hand was hot, almost sour.
Gu Shiyan motioned for Deng Dinghou to let her go, and Deng Dinghou randomly took a bunch of keys from the wall on the side and threw them next to Dongfang Xuan. This action stimulated Jin Yuru unprecedentedly, the key fell on the straw mat and the sound was not loud, Jin Yuru clasped Dongfang Xuan's arm with both hands, even if the winter clothes were thicker, Dongfang Xuan also felt the fear of the person in front of him, he protected his lover behind him, picked up the key and began to untie the lock that was around her.
Dongfang Xuan whispered in the woman's ear, and then gently picked the woman up, like holding a fragile orchid, and like a butterfly dying in winter. The woman raised her hand to gently wipe away his tears for him, and Dongfang Xuan pulled out a fragile smile. Gu Shiyan took off the robe on his body and covered her.
"Something will be given to you, wait for us to get on the horse." Deng Dinghou looked at the reunion scene staged in front of him, his heart did not fluctuate, and when he heard Gu Shiyan's words, he nodded with a smile and made a gesture of please.
went out quickly, Gu Shiyan ran to the grass to pick up the cloth bag, and the double ring returned to his hand, rubbing the familiar nick to adjust to the position of the memory. Jin Yuka was led by the guards to stand at the back door of the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, along with three reddish-brown horses.
Seeing a few people coming out, everyone present was very excited, and the moment Jin Yuka saw Jin Yuru in Dongfang Xuan's arms, she almost couldn't stand still, and ran up to wipe the blood from her fingertips on her pale lips.
"Aka, are you okay?" Jin Yuka couldn't speak, so he could only nod vigorously.
Gu Shiyan threw the key into the door, and then a figure chased after the dark green.
"Lord Qiyu, Lord Jin Yuka has dropped all the Gu cups."
"Everyone is a brother, and this time has been hard." Deng Dinghou's voice came from the door, with a smile in his voice, and it was the jasper key in his hand.
