On Changbai Mountain, the cold is silent.

"Nanzhen, are you awake?"

She slowly opened her eyes. She was glad that in this strange place, in addition to Brother Wuya, there was someone who could give her warmth to melt all the cold around her.

I haven't seen my brother for a long time, I don't know if he is used to being here, hard work for him.

"Yes, master, I'm awake. She rubbed her eyes. Look in the direction of the speaker.

Four years ago, in order to save her, Wuya took her out of Allure, and under the guidance of Mr. Wen Ghost, she went all the way north to the extremely cold land of Changbai Mountain. She and Wuya were dying several times, and finally met the old man of Tianchi.

For four years, in the past four years, in order to cure the seven-star begonia poison on her body, she worshipped the old man of Tianchi as her teacher, and Wuya obeyed the arrangement of the old man of Tianchi and has been looking for Changbai Mountain snow ginseng.

But it seems that he has been unlucky, ordinary ginseng has been searched and eaten, but he can't find snow ginseng that is rare for thousands of years. But she survived.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Brother Wuya.

The old man of Tianchi is tall and straight, but he is full of white hair, and his back is indescribably lonely, but Nanzhen knows that he is a very warm person.

"Then come and worship your master, we still have important things to do. The man didn't turn around until Nam-jin approached him. He took Nanzhen's hand and walked to the depths of the ice cave.

The old man's hands are beautiful, clean and slender, more beautiful than Nanzhen's hands, but also very powerful. Every time she holds his hand, Nanzhen has a different feeling, which is different from holding her brother's hand. She couldn't describe it, she just thought she was stupid, and then she just giggled.

He would always say, silly girl, what do you think again?

But this time it didn't say.

In the depths of the ice cave, there is the ice coffin of Shi Niang. Nan Zhen, like every morning in the past four years, bowed three times to the ice coffin and said, "Master, we came to see you again today." ”

Then, she knew that the master was going to teach her something new today.

But the master is so strange today, Nanzhen thought to herself, from the beginning of the morning when she called her, it was very strange, she couldn't say it. She wanted to ask, but she didn't know how to speak, and finally the master spoke.

"We're leaving here today, and whether we can come back or not depends on creation. Nanzhen, would you like to join me?"

She didn't expect the master to say such a thing, so she asked without even thinking about it, "Where are you going to get out of here? What are you going to do? Why can't you come back? What should my brother do? Does he know?"

She knew that she had asked too many questions, and the master would not necessarily answer her, as before. When the master didn't want to answer her, he always smiled and shook his head.

This time, the old man of Tianchi did not refuse her. He answered every question she asked.

"Go far away, kill someone, or be killed. If you kill someone, you will flee back, and if you are killed, you will not come back. Unbeknownst to Wuya, he was just doing what he was supposed to do. ”

The old man of Tianchi replied calmly, as if he was just talking about something very ordinary.

"Huh?" Nanjin was still a little scared, so she continued to ask, "What about the murderous ......?"

"Yes, kill people, kill a lot of people, in the Valley of the Medicine King. After saying this, the old man Tianchi turned his head to look at her, and she finally saw the warm smile of the master on weekdays.

The drizzle was silent.

The weather in the south is all too familiar to her.

She was born and grew up in Allure. Her father named her Nanzhen, which means the treasure of the south.

She couldn't go back, she could have asked to go back and have a look.

Take a look at whether her father, the King of Allure, is well.

Take a look at the streets of Allure to see if they are still so bustling.

Take another look at whether the most beautiful woman in Allure is still there.

She was thinking, Sister Sophia, are you still alive.

But she also thought that maybe everyone thought she was dead, so wouldn't it be embarrassing for her to appear rashly.

Maybe it's good if it's always like this.

The place they are going to is still south of Allure. Even passing by, there was no stop.

Running non-stop, not to find something, but not to disappoint that person.

She asked him, "You taught me a lot, but I don't kill anyone." ”

He replied, "It's okay, I'll kill you, and if anything happens to me, you're responsible for saving my life." He spoke very seriously, and he said, "Out of Changbai Mountain, my life is in your hands, so don't let me die." ”

She didn't know why he said that, he must have his reasons.

In the rainy season in Jiangnan, every rainy night, she will accompany him to kill people.

The first man, the second man, the tenth man.

From panic and fear, to sadness and pity, to insensitivity, it only took a short time.

She asked him why he wanted to kill these people, why these people.

He replied, maybe they don't deserve to die, so who deserves to die? This world is inherently cruel.

He was still smiling when he said this, and his smile was warm and convincing.

She remembered that Sister Monroe had said the same thing, killing and being killed was a very common thing.

He continued to kill people seemingly without purpose, and more and more people died.

These people include market bullies, pharmacist Langzhong, dart bureau dart masters, businessmen, Qinglou singers, ordinary people, and so on.

or with strong poisons, or with insect and snake venom, or with ordinary swords.

They died in different ways. But each person's corpse will leave a golden needle, in the Fengchi cave.

Finally, one day, someone came to the door.

On that day, there were three people who found them, and the one who led them said to the old man of Tianchi.

"Senior brother, why are you so troubled? ”

Bleeding silently.

They took him away, leaving Nanzhen alone at the inn and waiting.

Before leaving, he said, "Don't worry, I won't die, but I may be injured, you have to be ready to save me." ”

The man in the lead glanced at Nam-jin, and they left.

He came back on the night of the third day, and as he said, he was badly wounded and on the brink of death.

He said: "Go back to Changbai Mountain, this time you lost again." With that, he fainted.

Her eyes were red, and she just nodded.

The journey home is always long, so long that the flowers bloom for another season.

It doesn't snow in the south here, so even the air is unfamiliar on his unconscious road.

Brother Wuya, when you were alone in the rivers and lakes, you were also so lonely.

When she arrived in Zhongyuan City, she met Mr. Wen Ghost.

Mr. Wen asked her, "Is he still alive?"

Nanzhen said, "The master has been in a coma, but he finally saved his life. ”

"Did you ask him?" said the ghost.

"Ask him what?" said Nanzhen.

"Ask him how he could be?" said the ghost.

"If the master doesn't say, I won't ask, I have only one purpose, which is to save him. Nam Jin said categorically.

Wen Ghost sighed, "Little sister Nanzhen, you have grown up. Maybe I shouldn't tell you the truth, you just take good care of him. There will be my eyes all the way, and someone will secretly protect you. When you come to Central Plains City again, we will reminisce about the past. ”

Nanzhen thanked Mr. Wen Ghost.

Wen Ghost asked her, "Is there anything else you want to ask me besides this matter?"

In fact, Nanzhen wanted to ask too much, but she didn't know how to ask, as if everything related to her had nothing to do with her as time passed. She simply didn't bother anymore, so she smiled and said to Wen Gui, "Mr. Wen Gui, maybe I'll ask you in the future." Now, I don't think about it that much. ”

Wen Ghost nodded and asked rhetorically, "Then have you ever thought about why you became like this? You are not poisoned, you and your master know it." ”

"I know, I lied just to upset my brother and I didn't want him to know the truth. Nam Jin said.

If you think so, it means that you already have your own opinion. If I told you that everything about you was arranged by me, would you blame me?" said Wen Ghost thoughtfully.

Nanzhen's eyes widened, as if she hadn't heard Ghost Wen's words, and she asked, "What does the arrangement mean?"

"Drop the bag of Seven Star Begonias, falsely claim that they can detoxify, pretend that the detoxification fails, and trick Wuya to take you to Changbai Mountain. Wen Ghost said word by word. "If what I said was true, would you want to kill me?"

Nan Zhen couldn't believe her ears, all this seemed to Wen Ghost, just saying something, for herself. But it's a life that I really experienced.

If what she said is true, then what has she been living for in the past few years?

"If you want to keep saving him, he will tell you everything. After the choice is yours. Ghost Wen said calmly, "It's already a miracle that he killed the two elders of the Medicine King Valley and came back alive." ”

Nanzhen had no other choice, she might not be able to accept it all at once, but she remembered what Wen Ghost said. She chose to go back to Changbai Mountain, as for the future, there will always be results.

After all, some tears and some blood have already flowed.

Killing is silent.

She never knew the real name of the master, nor did she know why the master was lying in the ice coffin. She only knew that the master was here to protect the master.

The master treated her like his own daughter. But she has a special affection for her master, but she never says it.

A life-saving benefactor, a master and apprentice, a father and daughter, a lover, or, as the ghost says, an enemy.

But everything is emotional, and it stops at courtesy. He waited for the master to wake up and tell her everything.

After all, she was just a child under fifteen years old.

After returning to Changbai Mountain, the old man of Tianchi went into retreat for a while. Strangely, Wuya is not in the mountains either.

Finally, one day, the old man of Tianchi called her into the ice cave and told her a story.

It's all about the Valley of the Medicine King.

Because of the changes in the Valley of the Medicine King, there is no real truth, and there is no real ending.

Ever since the Seven Star Begonias came out, all the chaos has happened. After escaping from the Medicine King Valley, Wen Ghost has been wandering the rivers and lakes, and met Nanzhen in Allure, and found that Nanzhen was talented, had a wonderful bone, and was a good seedling, so he started his plan.

Everything is just for the revenge of the old man of Tianchi.

And the old man of Tianchi gambled everything on Nanzhen.

Including taking Nam Jin to kill.

Even his own death was planned.

He knew that his time was short, so he passed on his life's skills to Nanzhen, and then sat down in the ice cave.

Before he died, he gave Nanzhen something and asked her to help transfer it to his daughter, which was his last wish.

But he never mentioned revenge, and Namjin didn't know if it was because of guilt.

Nam Jin looked at his corpse and stood for a long time.

She buried the body of the old man in Tianchi with Shi Niang, and then left.

After a long time, Wuya returned to Changbai Mountain, and he finally found Changbai Mountain Snow Ginseng.

And when goodbye is endless, she lies to him again.

Later, she said to herself, I used to think that if a man loved me, I would love him. Or if I love someone, they will love me.

I was wrong.

I found that I was not only wrong, but also outrageously wrong. Because even if you love each other, there are many things that you can't be together.

Not to mention the one who doesn't love.

So why bother to love and love, it's better not to love anyone.

She asked where Wuya had gone for so long.

Wuya said, where else can you go, of course, I will always find snow ginseng for you, and sure enough, the emperor lives up to his wishes.

She didn't press on. During that time of being everywhere, she went to him because she wanted to talk to him, whatever she wanted, or cry. But he wasn't on Changbai Mountain.

She knows that everyone has secrets in their hearts, hidden in places where they cannot be seen.

She finally knew that the master's name was Zhang Ziyou. Shi Niang's name is Cao Axiang.

After another three years, she finally learned all the kung fu of her master.

One night, she pretended to be in her sleep, saying that brother, the outside world doesn't know what it is like now, and everyone's life must be wonderful.

The next day, Wuya took her out of Changbai Mountain.
