Volume 2 The Lonely Heart Provokes the Wind and Dust The One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Episode Life is cheaper than the cold moon
Cen Du was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, cleared his throat and said, "The death of the third and fourth is really my responsibility. After tying up this Shen cuttlefish today and sending him to the Golden Lotus Circle Phoenix Tower, first, I can ask for a free body for you and me, and second, I can ask the Lord to forgive you and me for your sins and correct the names of the third and fourth children, which is also the last thing we can do for them. Cen Du's expression was a little complicated, and his eyes were full of guilt.
And Bai Wushou, who has always supported Cen Dusk, had his own thoughts for the first time, he suddenly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and glanced at Shen Cuttlefish who was struggling in the car, in the darkness by the silver-white moonlight, he could still vaguely see those angry eyes, Shen Cuttlefish stared at Bai Wushou's white face, eager to bite his teeth.
Bai Wushou also had thousands of emotions in his heart, mixed tastes, and suddenly said: "The source of everything is because of him, why don't we kill him first, and use his life to pay tribute to the third and fourth children!" Cen Du only thought he was joking, glanced at him casually, and saw that he looked nervous with a knife in his left hand, so he hurriedly reined in his horse, and when he was in front of him, he pressed against his shoulder and persuaded: "What are you going to do! If we make an arbitrary decision, we will kill him here, and if the Lord knows, you and I will definitely die!"
"I didn't plan to come back to life under her! The third and fourth are dead, but we hide in Tibet like a lost dog all day long, fearful, and always worry about being caught by the demon girl, instead of living a life in fear like this, it is better for us to turn against her!" Bai Wushou's eyes were red, his whole body trembled, and his voice was a little choked.
"What do you mean?" Cen Du was a little surprised, he couldn't believe that Bai Wushou would come to this point, it was not that he hadn't thought about it, but if he took the wrong step, he would be crushed and never recovered. Bai Wushou sneered, his eyes were red, tears flashed in the night, and he said lightly: "That demon girl...... Don't you want this snow scroll? We might as well search for the snow scroll first, and then kill this kid, pay tribute to the spirits of the third and fourth in the sky, and wait for my brothers to find a hidden place and practice hard for a few years, with the foundation and qualifications of you and me, let alone three or four years, at most ten years, we will definitely be able to achieve great success! At that time, you and I will join forces, and I will ask who is the opponent in this Jianghu?"
Seeing that Cen fainted and fell into silence, Bai Wushou only thought that he was moved, and then continued: "At that time, Hugh said that it was the little demon girl who surrounded the Phoenix Tower with the golden lotus, even if the sects of the whole world joined forces, they may not be able to defeat the two of us, we can not only avenge the third and fourth children, but also wash away the shame and guilt of the past, and be an upright person, no longer need to hide in Tibet." Big brother, the ordinary days you want, it's not a problem! Big brother, just give it a go!"
Bai Wushou's hands held Cen Du's shoulders, looking at his extremely eager excited eyes, but Cen Di sighed lightly first, and laughed randomly again. Bai Wushou was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, did you agree?" Cen was silent, and glanced at the jade plate hanging in the inky night sky in the distance, his lips trembled slightly, he clenched his teeth for a long time, and the corners of his eyes gradually reddened, before he turned his head and stared at Bai Wushou and replied helplessly: "I'm afraid that when it really comes, it will be even more difficult to get out than now." The rivers and lakes are quagmires, and the longer you stay, the deeper you will fall, don't you understand?"
Bai Wushou collapsed weakly beside the carriage as if he had been struck by lightning, lowered his arms, curled up his legs, his eyes glazed, and said no more. And Cen Du silently picked up the horsewhip again, clenched the reins, breathed a long sigh of relief, didn't dare to look at Bai Wushou's expression beside him, and said indifferently: "Rest, I'll call you when I get to the next town." When you get to Yueqiu Mansion, you can go all the way north without hindrance. There should be, there will be. With a soft drink, the crisp sound of the horsewhip and the sound of the wheels resounded again, echoing in the ears, the lonely cold night has not yet had a trace of spring, and the road ahead is still an impenetrable night, and no one knows where the end is.
Let's say that Shen Cuttlefish, who was left in the carriage, listened to the conversation between the two of them, although he didn't know what Cen Du and the two had and what kind of past they had, but the tone of the two of them was full of helplessness and pain, which actually touched him a little. But as soon as he had some sympathy, he flashed through his mind, and the sea of corpses and blood appeared in front of him, and the firelight reflected his face full of blood and dust, and the picture of his father and mother dying tragically in front of him was still vivid, and the souls of his family gathered in front of him, as if asking him why he had not avenged them.
Shen cuttlefish convulsed all over, and was shocked into a cold sweat, his round eyes were full of guilt, anger, self-blame and helplessness, the true qi in his body was rampant, overturning the river and the sea, and finally gathered on the top of his head, his swollen cheeks were red, and his forehead was full of beads of sweat, as if he was about to burst, and he was in great pain. And Cen Du and Bai Wushou didn't care about the movement of Shen cuttlefish in the carriage, they still gave him food and drink, checked his acupoints, and made sure that he didn't escape.
The avenue is open, easy to gallop, although far away, but three days later, Cen Du and the two of them drove the carriage into the territory of Yueqiu Mansion, they wanted to quickly whip into the city to rest for a day, then change horses and go north, straight to Jinlian around the Fenglou. Who knew that he had missed the nightstay in a hurry, and watched the city gate close, but Cen Du had nothing to do, so he pulled the reins and stopped the carriage a foot in front of the city gate. "Phew—this short-lived city gatekeeper won't wait for a moment!" Cen Dusk cursed softly.
Bai Wushou glanced up at the towering city tower, the banner was rolled, the gold was lined up, the iron armor was cold, the fire was scorching, he shook his head with a wry smile, and asked helplessly: "It's better to stay outside the city for one night, and it's not uncommon to sleep in the wilderness." But Cen Du glanced at the Shen cuttlefish in the carriage, and it was nothing to stay overnight in the wilderness before, but now there is a sword and snow heir hidden in the car, how can he be defenseless?
After thinking about it, Cen Du suddenly pointed to the northeast corner of Yueqiu Mansion City and said: "I have heard that there is a Toad Moon Taibai Building about ten zhang high in the southeast three miles of Yueqiu Mansion, which was originally the Tibetan military building of Yueqiu Mansion during the war, and was later abandoned, so it was used to guide passers-by in the middle of the night. Bai Wushou had no objection, and the two of them immediately got into the car, hurried up, and rushed to the northeast of Yueqiu Mansion.
Wild trees have residual leaves, cobwebs and soil fungi, bluestones fall and crack, ruined flowers protect cold mud, chaotic clouds fly ink, fog is entangled and lonely, the lonely moon is cold and hanging, and the dangerous buildings are nowhere to be seen. As the day approached, everything was silent, even the cold wind that had been shouting in the ears before had slightly subsided, the dead branches were intertwined, cobwebs hung high, and the bluestone path was as quiet as ever, winding deep into the trees. The sound of rushing wheels shattered the silence, leaving only two rut marks and vanishing without a trace.
"Phew—" When Cen Duan reined in his horse again, the carriage stopped. Bai Wushou jumped out of the car vigilantly, looked around, and there was no movement. And the toad moon in the mouth of the cen is in front of you, and look at the building, about 12 zhang high, divided into ten floors, bluestone as a ladder, pear wood for the building, like a tower instead of a tower, the lonely shadow under the moon is long, the white wall is dyed with vicissitudes, and the wind and frost of Uvaddo. The carved railing painting building was also exquisite, now only the ruins remain, there is a small platform on the top of the building, it was originally used for lookout, there is also a roof on the platform, the shed is expected to be the moon golden toad, it is the month of the sub-time, it is the transformation of the state capital later. The cornices are staggered, and the rafters are connected. The dark tiles reflect the moonlight like water, pouring silver sand, as if shrouding the entire building in a thin cloud, adding a bit of mystery.
Bai Wushou felt a little weird: "This place is extremely eerie and terrifying, and it is a little unlucky." Cen smiled and fell to the ground, and said, "When will you also believe in these ghosts and gods? ”
The two of them did not delay any longer, there was not much time left until dawn, and if they did not seize the time to rest, they would be weak tomorrow. Bai Wushou stepped on the carriage, rolled up the curtain, stretched out his hand and dragged out the Shen cuttlefish who was holding the acupoint, Cen Duan helped aside, the two of them each reached under Shen cuttlefish's armpits, and pulled his legs, then took out the Shen cuttlefish who couldn't move, and dragged the two arms to the cold and strange Taibai Building.
"Is this building really abandoned?" Bai Wushou grabbed Shen Cuttlefish's right arm with his left hand, and gently pushed the broken wooden door with his right hand, and when the cold wind blew, the door creaked open by itself, revealing the endless staircase, and the handle railing of the pear wood had long been broken, but this Taibai building was not as deserted as the road when he came, and there was no cobweb dust, but it was clean and tidy, which was really a little strange.
Cen Du also raised his head in surprise and glanced at the situation in the building, and speculated: "It stands to reason that there should be no one to guard this dilapidated old building." Let's go up and have a look first, maybe it's just that the state government yamen sends people to clean it every day, so it's so tidy. Bai Wushou did not question, still nodded, and the two of them worked together to drag the Shen cuttlefish upstairs, stepping on the smooth stone steps, the faint footsteps of the two became clearer and clearer in this cold and silent night, Cen Du and Bai Wushou did not dare to relax their vigilance, and observed the situation outside the building through the small window while going upstairs.
There are still a few stone steps left to reach the platform surrounded by exquisite railings, and suddenly there is a sound of singing floating from overhead, it seems that someone is drinking to the moon upstairs, pouring out his sorrows: "The moon leans on the floor, the snow hides the throat, and finally the eyes are clear and there is sorrow, urging people to go to the boat a few times?
"Who is chanting poetry here and drinking to the moon?" Cen Du motioned with his eyes to Bai Wushou to wait here with Shen cuttlefish, and he walked quickly onto the platform, and saw a man in white sitting on the carved railing, leaning on the pillar of the building and singing with a sword, with overturned wine glasses and spilled wine that had not yet dried on the ground at his feet.
