Chapter 14: The Singer of the End of the World
"There are times in life that must be there, and there is no time in life when you don't force it" I only heard a voice coming out of the Baiyun Nunnery. When Hu Xiao heard this, his brows furrowed, his face turned blue, and he roared angrily: "Who is coming?" Dare to hide in Baiyunan? Come out and die! ”
A window of Baiyun Nunnery opened in an instant, and everyone didn't see who it was, only to see a figure, flickering in front of them, running into the crowd, there was no trace, and the people present did not see clearly, who it was and how old it was. Just by listening to the voice, you can tell that it is a woman in her thirties!
A moment later, another voice came out of Baiyunan, it was a man's voice. "The Tianyu Stone is not yours, so don't pick it up if you can, if you lose your life, you really can't get it. The Heavenly Rain Stone in the air, it is a weapon, don't move it if it's not your weapon, lest he hurt you! ”
He didn't say who he was, as if to warn everyone present.
When Hu Xiao heard this, it was Baiyun Nunnery again, his eyes were full of anger, and his voice was louder than Fang Cai, and said: "Baiyun Nunnery is the forbidden place of my Longmen faction, who has been hiding in it?" ”
The voice from inside came, "The forbidden place can't help but be a place for you Dragon Sect disciples, and for me, a place to rest, a place to drink tea!" ”
Hu Xiao said: "What a big breath, I want to see who it is?" ”
He flipped over and swept in through the open window. The two windows closed with a click. Everyone's eyes were like torches, staring at the Baiyun Nunnery house. For a moment, there was no movement inside. There was no fighting, no talking.
Suddenly, there was a sound of a lute. A euphemistic and catchy tune that echoes in the air!
"You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns. You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone. Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require 300 cups of drink. Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will enter the wine, and the cup will not stop. Sing a song with you, please listen to it for me. The bells and drums are not expensive enough, but I hope that I will not wake up after being drunk for a long time. The ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinker left his name. In the past, King Chen feasted peacefully, and fought wine for ten thousand years. What is the owner's words, he has to sell the right gentleman. Five-flowered horses, daughters and daughters, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you"
The woman plays the lute and sings at the same time. The sound is like a natural sound. Clear lyrics, loud voice, the real swan song in the world, no one before or since!
All eyes were on the air as the song came from the sky.
There was no one in the sky, there were layers of white clouds. The clouds are huge, the wind blows, and the clouds move. I saw a ship in the clouds, unexpectedly moving automatically with the clouds.
"Isn't the boat in the water? How did it appear in the air? ”
"Can a boat move without water?"
"It's not small, but it's not a luxury ship either. Compared with the government's boats, it cannot be compared, but compared with the boats, it is much better looking and beautiful. ”
"Brown hull, red-painted pillars."
"The sails are white like the sun. It's beautiful! ”
The woman's voice came through the door.
"Listening to this voice, you can be sure that she looks really good."
Before the words were finished, the ship was moving on the clouds. The clouds were relatively stationary with the ship, moving forward at the same speed, and at the same time, from a very high place, gradually descending freely, stopping in the sky above Tianzhu Mountain.
This time it was closer to the crowd. I saw that the ship was as big as two houses, and four lanterns were hung on the eaves of the outer roof, four at each of the four corners. A few large characters are written on the lantern in black ink.
The ship was parked above, and the song had stopped.
At this moment, from the beaded curtain of the ship, a blonde woman walked out. Seeing that this woman has a high nose bridge, green eyes, and a tall figure, at a glance, she does not look like a Chinese child.
She lowered her eyebrows and rolled her eyes, glanced at everyone, and was shocked in her heart, exclaiming: "There are so many people, at least more than two hundred." "The sound is so small that only you can hear it.
"Where are you from?"
"I am from the Norman dynasty," said the blond woman, "in Lower Matilda." ”
When everyone saw her dressed up, she seemed to be a woman in a green house, and a man asked, "You are from the Norman dynasty?" The Normandy dynasty was a long way from here. Look at you Qinglou dressed in clothes, and holding a pipa in your hand, just a dusty woman. How can you say that you are from the Norman dynasty? In the next is not to believe! ”
Another man said: "If you look at her appearance, you can judge that what she said is true." Tell us your story. I'd love to hear how Matilda came to the Central Plains from the distant Normandy dynasty. ”
Another man said, "You have a very good singing voice, and you play the pipa really well!" ”
Matilda said: "The little girl came by boat from the Norman dynasty by water. ”
A man asked, "Why are you dressed as a prostitute in the Qinglou, have you ever been to the Qinglou?" ”
Matilda said, "Yes." I came to the mainland from the Norman dynasty with five retinues, all women. When we arrived on the mainland, we encountered the bandits of the sea, killed them, and left me alone. When they saw that I was beautiful, they sold me to the Happy House. In the Joy Building, I met a singer who taught me songs and pipa. She praised me for my talent in learning songs, and the pipa I played was touching. However, soon after she taught me, she was killed. When she died, she was not clothed. I don't know who killed it. ”
A man asked, "How did you get out of the Happy Building?" ”
Matilda said: "Fortunately, there is a male guest, he went to the Happy Building to listen to the pipa, and I played a song "A Cup of Turbid Wine and Laughing at the Red Dust"! After hearing this, he was moved to tears, and he was sad. He invited me to sit down and drink together, and at first I didn't drink to prevent such dandies from being despised by me, and of course, I was afraid of losing my life. After all, this is the Qinglou, and the guests who come are in a variety of ways. It's a man, always thinking about that. ”
The man asked, "Did he ransom you?" ”
Matilda said, "Yes. He's a good boy. He was sad because he had killed a lot of people in the first place. He shouldn't have killed these people, and after he killed them, his heart was heavy and painful. But he had to kill! ”
The man asked, "Why did you have to kill?" ”
Matilda said: "His profession is a killer. He said he called a needle to seal the throat and point the lips! ”
When the man heard this, his face turned pale, and he said: "He is a well-known killer in the rivers and lakes, and a needle through his throat will kill people." ”
Matilda said: "Yes! That's what he told me. I asked him, why did he come to the Happy Building? He said that in addition to killing people, the second thing he did was to listen to songs. Then he asked me to keep playing the lute and singing to him. Every time he listened to a song, he wept bitterly. The wine on the table, drink without stopping. ”
The man said, "After he kills someone, he will listen to a song all night and drink a night of wine at the same time!" He never touches women. Nor do I sleep with women. ”
Matilda said: "He told me, don't be afraid, I won't let you sleep with me, you just have to play the lute for me." Because I just killed someone. I asked him, who did he kill? His eyes were full of anger. After a long time, he said, Xing Tianba, the owner of Kagura Mountain Villa! ”
The man lost his voice and said, "Xingtianba! His sword is superb. Why kill him? ”
Matilda said: "I asked why I killed him. He said that Xing Tianba used his identity as the owner of Kagura Mountain Villa to collude with officers and soldiers and meddle in the Lu Duosun incident. ”
The man said, "Who hired Dian's lips to kill the Heavenly Tyrant?" ”
Matilda said: "He said it was Zhao Yanmei. ”
The faces of those present were all pale.
Matilda observed her words and immediately understood, knowing that Zhao Yanmei's status was not simple, although she had not heard of it and did not care about the affairs of the Northern Song Dynasty, but she was enough to judge that she could have a relationship with the imperial court, and there were killers in the rivers and lakes, things must not be simple!
Matilda said: "That night, he received a hundred taels of silver from his employer, and said to me, 'You play very well, and I will help you redeem yourself!'" ”
The man asked, "Out of the Happy Building, where did you go?" What about lip purs? What's going on with this ship? ”
Matilda said: "He is gone, he received a business to kill a servant of the Luoyang City Wine Factory. He told me to go to a shipyard director. ”
The man asked: "Luoyang Distillery is the best place to produce wine in the Central Plains." If he goes there, he's going to have a big drink. ”
Matilda said: "This ship was given to me by the shipyard director. The shipyard director is really a man of God. I thought ships could be in the water until he made ships in the air. ”
The man asked, "Who are you talking about?" What's the last name? ”
Matilda said: "Hiraga, the god of shipbuilding! ”
Another man said: "It is rumored that Pinghe will make a magic weapon that swims in the water, floats in the air, and runs on land. ”
Zhao Hongmei, the pavilion master of the Rain Butterfly Pavilion, heard this and said, "Zhao Hongmei, the pavilion master of the Rain Butterfly Pavilion. I came here to see Tianyu Stone and Song Saiyu. The two didn't see each other, but they did see Matilda. Look at your appearance, but you are not a child of China. You are born different, even if you are wearing the clothes of a Qinglou woman, you still can't hide your amazing blood. ”
Matilda said: "Many guests in the Happy Building praised me, and they all sighed, but it was a pity that I didn't sell my art. Playing the pipa, complaining for a long time. ”
Zhao Hongmei said: "Do you know where you came now?" ”
Matilda said: "I don't know where this is, I have been flying in the air for a long time, and when I came here, I saw that it was beautiful, with its peaks scattered and the shade of the trees. Fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the heavenly city, I couldn't help but drink and play the pipa in the boat. ”
Zhao Hongmei saw that her cheeks were rosy, and drunkenness welled up in her heart, and said, "It seems that you have not drunk a lot of wine, at least three points." ”
Matilda said: "I have been flying for a long time, and I have drunk a lot of it slowly. ”
Zhao Hongmei said: "This is Tianzhu Mountain, the boundary of Anhui Province. You see there are so many of us, there must be something big going on. ”
Matilda said: "There are a lot of people, at least more than 200 people. Zhao Hongmei said: "We came here to watch the Tianyu Stone. Meet Song Saiyu! Matilda said, "What is the Celestial Rain Stone?" Who is Song Saiyu? Matilda was puzzled, more than 200 people came to see the stone, this stone must be unusual, more than 200 people came to Song Saiyu, she must not be ordinary. Have you seen more than 200 people, who were idle and panicked, came to the top of a mountain and told you that they were looking at the stones? Isn't it a joke to spread it?
Zhao Hongmei said: "Sister, seeing that you are much younger than me, call you sister." It's already chaotic and lively, and another Norman sister has arrived. Sister, you'd better stay away from here, if there is a fight here, your life will be in danger! ”
Matilda was drunk, laughed softly, and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I have a wind dragon!" ”
Everyone didn't understand what it meant, and Zhao Hongmei didn't hear it clearly. She then said to Matilda, "Do you see the light in the sky?" It was still a behemoth, and now it's so small. It is the Heavenly Rain Stone. ”
Matilda was very surprised and asked, "Such a small point of light is the Tianyu Stone?" You're all here to see it? It's ridiculous, such a small thing, what is there to see. I really don't understand what you guys think. ”
Zhao Hongmei said: "Little sister, don't underestimate this point of light, just now it is bigger than your ship, it will shine and turn blue." It became smaller on its own! ”
Matilda was skeptical, and said, "Since you say so, I believe you, but what is so strange about the rain stone on this day?" ”
Zhao Hongmei said: "The Tianyu Stone is Song Saiyu's weapon. ”
Matilda said: "What about Song Saiyu? ”
Zhao Hongmei said: "We are also waiting for her to appear!" It is rumored that the Tianyu Stone is Song Saiyu's weapon, if she can come, it means that the rumors are true, if she can't come, it is false. The previous rumors are self-defeating! ”
Matilda said, "Although I have only come to this place, I feel that the Heavenly Rain Stone should be her weapon!" ”
Zhao Hongmei asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
Matilda said, "Look over there, someone is taking it again!" ”
Everyone stared at the Tianyu Stone in the sky, and saw a man about forty years old, dressed plainly and unpretentiously, his figure appeared in the air, he was tall, not weak, and he tried to grab the Tianyu Stone with his right hand.
I saw that the moment he touched the Tianyu Stone, his right arm suddenly turned pure white, he pierced the sky with a miserable sound, and quickly fell down with a thud, and the moment he fell to the ground, it could be seen that his right arm was gone, as if its right arm was integrated with the air, and there was no right arm on the ground. I saw him fall to the ground in pain, drenched in blood.
Suddenly, a woman's voice came, she said: "It's not your own benefit, don't take advantage of it!" "It's the same woman just now, the woman who came out of the window! Everyone looked around, but still couldn't find a place to speak!
"Are you Song Saiyu?"
No one answered, and the woman's voice disappeared again!
