Chapter 119: My name is Bai Zhizhen
The girl's family did not look very good, the room was dimly lit, and she lit a candle instead of an oil lamp, after all, the price of oil is much more expensive than a candle!
In fact, it can be seen that this candle is only lit when entertaining guests, and this time it is estimated that it is for the sake of the scholar's sword, otherwise, this candle is really dispensable for a blind girl.
"What's your name. β
Under the soft light of the candle, Scholar Jian looked at the woman's delicate face and didn't know how to answer, did he want to tell her that he was a killer who killed people without blinking! But after saying this, what kind of face did he have to continue to stay?
Although the girl named Ling'er didn't see it, she also felt the embarrassment of the man in front of her, so she didn't continue to ask.
In addition, she thought that this son was still being hunted down and killed just now, so she didn't feel any strange about his behavior of hiding his name, but in her heart, there was more or less discomfort that she didn't know about.
"It doesn't matter if Childe is inconvenient to say, the little girl knows that Childe has a last resort. β
The scholar reached out to touch the woman's face, and the latter shrank back as if he had a feeling.
"I ......"
"Knock knock!"
Just as Scholar Sword was about to speak, there was a sharp knock outside the door.
"Childe, don't speak, just hide it, maybe someone from outside is here to find Childe. β
After finishing speaking, the woman turned around and walked out of the room to open the door according to the route she remembered, and Shushengjian did not listen to the girl's words to find a place to hide, he just stood in place at a loss and looked at her back in a daze.
He knew that the group of people outside the door must not be easy to fool, so he was always ready to trade his own life for the girl's.
Outside the door were two black-clothed men with black cloth masks and only gloomy eyes, and the two of them were also momentarily surprised when they saw a blind woman coming to open the door.
But after the surprise, it was calm, as a member of the Southern Tang Phantom Guard, they had never seen any human tragedy, Mo said that she was just a blind girl now, even if they let them take the lives of hundreds of people with their own hands at the moment, there would not be the slightest fluctuation in their hearts.
"Girl, we are the head catcher of the Taiyuan Mansion Yamen, we are chasing a fugitive, I don't know if the girl heard any noise in the house, the girl must know, in my Nantang, harboring criminals is the same crime as criminals!"
One of the two men in black spoke in a cold tone, speaking at a pace that was not hurried or slow, without a trace of emotion.
"Nope!"
Although Ling'er couldn't see the two people in front of her, for her, who had only heard of street patrols and had never seen an official errand, she had to bear tremendous pressure in the face of these two people.
It stands to reason that she has no relationship with the man in the house, so she doesn't need to hide it for him at all, but she doesn't know what she thinks, anyway, she just thinks she wants to hide him and don't let people snatch him away.
The two men in black glanced at each other, and there was some impatience in their eyes, they clearly knew that the scholar's sword was hidden in the room in front of them, and they just asked this girl as usual.
The two of them seemed to have made up their minds in their hearts, and took a slight step forward, and at the same time, the scholar sword in the room also stood by the door.
He had given up his resistance, and as soon as those two men walked into the courtyard, he would obediently come out and be escorted back by them, as long as they didn't hurt the girl!
"Girl, if you say so, we are offended. β
The blind woman stepped back to the courtyard gate and stretched out her hands to block the door.
"Forcibly breaking into the courtyard of the people's daughter for no reason, do you still have a royal law!"
For the Phantom Guard, who secretly didn't know how many bloody cases they had dealt with, the blind girl's words really seemed too pale, and the two ignored her, approaching the courtyard step by step, they were guarding against the scholarly sword in the courtyard.
"Alas!"
Just as Scholar Jian sighed and was about to walk out by himself, a voice came from outside the alley.
"There is a king's law!
I saw Fu Qingyuan, who was grabbed by the man holding the knife, struggling to fall to the ground, and then immediately tidied up his clothes, fortunately, this girl couldn't see it, otherwise he would lose face with Mr. Liantang!
Coming to the two black-clothed men who confronted the girl, Fu Qingyuan stretched out his hand and slapped each of them in the head, but the two people didn't dare to dodge.
As the core members of the Phantom Guard, they clearly know how important this Mr. Liantang occupies in the heart of the lord of the country, Li Houzhen!
"This girl is right, you still have no royal law, you forcibly broke into a little girl's yard in the middle of the night, you are lawless!"
Pretending to teach his subordinates a lesson, Fu Qingyuan turned his head and looked at the blind woman with a smile.
"Don't be afraid, this girl, I am Fu Qingyuan, the prefect of our Taiyuan Mansion, and I am indeed chasing a fugitive tonight, if there is anything disturbing to the girl, please don't blame these rough people who don't know how to be polite!"
It is estimated that she felt the kindness released by the parents of this Taiyuan Mansion, and the blind girl did not panic anymore, she also withdrew her hands to block the door and saluted the prefect.
"My lord, I really don't have any fugitives here that you are looking for. β
"Ahh Hahaha, okay, since that's the case, then we won't bother, farewell, farewell!"
After finishing speaking, Fu Qingyuan was about to leave with the three of them, and the man with the knife naturally followed him without saying a word, and the two black-clothed men with unknown surnames originally wanted to say something, but they were stopped by Fu Qingyuan waving his hand.
It is estimated that she heard the sound of the three of them gradually moving away, so Ling'er hurriedly turned around and entered the door, closed the far door and walked towards the room, while Fu Qingyuan and the others who turned the alley stopped in place.
"Adult, the perception of the two of them will definitely not be wrong, the scholar sword must be hidden in that courtyard!"
Fu Qingyuan waved his hand lightly.
"No need, don't they have a rule that they only assassinate him once, and we will only hunt him down once. β
"But, my lord, the scholar sword has already guessed your true identity, and if you don't get rid of him, sooner or later it will be a scourge!"
The man in black was not as smart as the middle-aged man with the knife, who was wholeheartedly practicing his closed-mouth meditation, and he actually wanted to remind the man in black:
"Don't you look at who is standing in front of you, that is the master of the country who is regarded as a teacher, what you can think of as a guy with no ink, he can't think of it?"
Fu Qingyuan neither adopted nor objected to the suggestion put forward by the man in black, but asked rhetorically.
"Do you think that if the scholar sword keeps hiding in the city, we have a few layers of chance to catch him. β
The man in black bowed his head in shame at this moment.
"The terrain in Taiyuan Mansion is complicated, and there are too many places to hide people, if it weren't for the scholar sword himself to hide in that courtyard, maybe we would have lost his trace at this time. β
Fu Qingyuan turned his head to look at the courtyard where the blind woman was, and there were still some bleak memories of the past in his eyes.
"That's right! Scholar sword, scholar sword! First scholar and then sword! After all, in the heart of that scholar who has been an assassin for more than ten years, there is still a gentle pure land in his heart, although I don't understand why he didn't kill people and leave, but since he didn't choose to kill and flee in the first place, he won't be able to leave that courtyard for the rest of his life!"
After staring affectionately for a moment again, the middle-aged scribe who had single-handedly changed the pattern of the Southern Tang Dynasty said with a melancholy face and a sigh of regret.
"Let's go, this Jianghu! There are too many unexpected things, too few lucky things, not to mention being able to experience it yourself, that is, the old man can meet this is a precious luck!"
......
In the blink of an eye, Scholar Jian had been living in the courtyard of this Ling'er girl for three days, he didn't think about leaving, and that Ling'er girl didn't drive him away! There seemed to be an inexplicable tacit understanding between the two.
In fact, that night, after Scholar Jian noticed that Fu Qingyuan and the others were leaving, he knew that they would not come back, which was an intuition between scholars and scholars.
In the past three days, Scholar Jian rarely spoke, he was secretly looking at the Ling'er girl, which means that the girl can't see it, otherwise he would have to be scolded for being a disciple.
In fact, Fu Qingyuan has a saying that is very right: the scholar sword, first the scholar and then the sword!
This Dark Pavilion Tianzi Killer Scholar Sword, who has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes and can make children stop crying, is actually a powerless scholar before he practiced martial arts.
He remembered very well in his heart that it was the eleventh year of the Chu Zhengguo at that time, and it was not as easy for scholars to eat as it is now, and those old heroes who had laid down the country for the Chu family were still crawling on the body of Da Chu to suck blood.
But those guys who can only cut people on horseback will govern this already very sloppy country, so in the first ten or twenty years of the founding of Great Chu, the life of the people was not easy, and many croppers put down their hoes and went up the mountain to become mountain bandits.
That year, the scholar Jian just studied hard for six years, and he carried the bookcase into the county town to take the exam, if he succeeded in the Xiucai exam, the graceful woman who had made a marriage contract with him since he was a child would marry him.
His luck was not bad, he was a good talent, but when he happily returned to the village with his bookcase, he was greeted by a human tragedy!
The entire village was wiped out except him, and his parents were reduced to ashes along with the yard where he had been a child.
Even the woman from a good family who had made a marriage contract with him since he was a child in his memory was ruined to death by those mountain bandits, and she also made people cut her stomach with a knife, and the internal organs flowed out and scattered all over the ground!
Human nature is evil, those guys who have turned from farmers to mountain bandits are actually more terrible than real mountain bandits, they don't have the slightest rules and human nature to talk about, they only know how to burn, kill, rob and abuse, and create human tragedies one after another!
In fact, on the day when the people in the village were killed and slaughtered, Scholar Jian did not cry, because he finally saw that reading in the world of that person eating people was useless.
He reached out and put his fiancΓ©e's internal organs back into her stomach little by little, and then sewed it up for her with a needle, and when he put her body into a thin-skinned coffin with his own hands, the heart of the scholar sword died with her, and all he lived in the world was a walking corpse who only wanted revenge.
Later, under the fate of not knowing what, he was included in the dark pavilion, he climbed quickly with the knowledge and insight brought to him by reading, and the exercises he learned became more and more profound, so that he became the core figure in the dark pavilion in just seven or eight years, not to mention the strength of the second grade, and also sat in the position of one of the killers of the sky.
In fact, when he had just broken through the fourth grade, he already knew that the mountain bandits who slaughtered their village back then were the same group, but he waited until he landed on the second grade before he did it, because he was not sure that he would kill them before and not let anyone escape, because he also wanted them to leave the chickens and dogs behind!
On the first night when he became the killer of the Son of Heaven, he took all his subordinates straight to the mountain, after so many years of development, those mountain bandits have settled down on the mountain, many of them have married wives and had children and offspring, but they themselves did not expect that even in that ordinary night, it was also the moment of their destruction!
He didn't pay attention to the bitter wails of those people, because as soon as such a voice sounded, Scholar Jian did not feel how pitiful they were, but first remembered how desperate those innocent villagers in his village must have been before they died! Isn't it like these people in front of them that there is no way to heaven and no way to the earth? They have no one to spare their lives!
And the poor woman who has withered away from the village in her life, who should make amends for her?
The flames were soaring, and in front of the professional killers in the dark pavilion, the group of unruly mountain bandits were more docile than the sheep in captivity and had nowhere to hide, and in the end, half of the entire mountain was burned, and there was really not a single chicken or duck left on the mountain.
And since then, Scholar Sword has really died, he hasn't mentioned his past and his previous name to anyone, he has become a downright ruthless Dark Pavilion Sky Killer!
However, in recent days, his heart seems to have come alive again, Miss Ling'er and the woman in his memory who made him feel guilty all his life but have forgotten his name continue to coincide, and finally became the same person, he will not allow anyone to hurt him in his life, Miss Ling'er!
The regret in one person has to be made up for in another person, although it has no effect, but it can finally comfort and comfort one's heart.
On the morning of the fourth day, Scholar Jian got up early in the morning, boiled a large pot of water to take a bath for himself, and then sat down at the table and sat quietly for a long time.
Suddenly, he moved, and he took a steel needle from his fine hair, then a second, then a third.
Then in the skin, next to the ears, and even on the soles of the feet, all the places where he had hidden the steel needles were taken out by himself.
He always had nine hundred and eighty-one steel needles on his body, of which six six and thirty-six were highly poisonous, but at this moment, in addition to the ones he had used up the night before, there were still sixty and four steel needles on the table.
When all the steel needles had been removed, he melted them off one by one with his deep internal force, and then he went to the side of a piece of wood, and sharpened a wooden scabbard for himself, and he drew the short sword, which was hidden in a folding fan and seldom showed itself, and put it into the scabbard.
Probably thinking that he had erased everything related to the killer, the scholar sword walked up to Ling'er and sat down in front of Ling'er with a sword in one hand and a fan in the other, and put his saber on the table brightly.
"Ling'er!"
"Huh?"
She couldn't see what Scholar Sword had done, so she was a little surprised that he suddenly called out her name.
Scholar Jian looked at her face in a daze, and there was a deep guilt hidden in his gentle eyes, he seemed to be looking at Ling'er, and he seemed to be looking at the woman from a good family who had been dead for many years.
"My name is Bai Zhizhen. β
The voice of the scholar sword came out softly, and the corners of the blind woman who heard the mellow voice of the scholar sword curled up at the corners of her mouth, and she smiled very happily, she reached out and held his hand, sometimes, there is such a thing as fate that does not even need to look at each other.
It's easy to understand!
