"What kind of place is this? I jumped off the Cliff of Forgetfulness and drifted here with the waves, but why did the Lord of Xiao Gu appear here? And the Ruthless Flower...... The Valley of Despair is far away from the top of the cliff, and according to this, why can you smell the fragrance of flowers here?"

Stunned, Liu Xunyi poured out his doubts all over his stomach, and at the same time slowly moved his limbs in the water to see if he could be injured.

"Sure enough, you have some ability, no wonder the surname Luo will send you. ”

Xiao Zhirou ignored Liu Xunyi's doubts, and just spit out a sentence lightly, I don't know if it is an emotion.

"Here ......"

"Come up and speak. ”

Before Liu Xunyi could speak, Xiao Zhirou suddenly flicked her sleeves, and a white silk came out and shot straight into the middle of the lake. Seeing this, Liu Xunyi's eyes froze, his right arm stretched out, and while Bai Aya wrapped around his arm, his five fingers also grabbed Bai Aya to death.

"Whoosh!"

With a soft sound, Bai Aya retracted violently, dragged Liu Xunyi in the lake into the air, and jumped into the air until the shore.

"Thank you!"

Facing Liu Xunyi's greetings, Xiao Zhirou suddenly turned around and walked towards a thatched hut not far away.

At this moment, Liu Xunyi had stabilized his mind, and when he saw Xiao Zhirou's strange behavior, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He looked at her back hesitantly, hesitated for a moment, and then hurried forward.

The thatched hut is simple, but very elegant.

On the four walls of the house, there are several slightly yellowed calligraphy and paintings. Although Liu Xunyi does not study, he also knows a little about antique calligraphy and painting.

When he first entered the thatched hut, he felt that these calligraphy and paintings seemed to be somewhat familiar, but when he looked at them and thought about them again and again, he could not guess which "famous artist" these calligraphy treasures came from.

What surprised Liu Xunyi the most was that none of these calligraphy and paintings were "intact", they were all torn to pieces, and then they were put back together piece by piece. Although they look quite complete, the cracks like spider webs show that they will not be able to "break the mirror and reunite" after all.

There were no tables or stools in the room, there were a few futons on the ground, and a guqin was displayed in the corner, covered with a thick layer of dust, as if it had been idle for many years, and I don't know if it could still make a sound.

"Lord Xiao Gu, this is ......"

"This is the 'Liuzhen Crossing', which coexists with the Valley of Despair. It's just that the Valley of Despair is upstream, and here is downstream. ”

Xiao Zhirou invited Liu Xunyi to sit on the ground, while she stared at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and slowly paced in the room.

"Liuyudu?" Liu Xunyi muttered to himself, "No wonder you can smell the fragrance of ruthless flowers here, it turns out that the fragrance of flowers is flowing down the river and diffuses here." ”

"What is the relationship between you and the surname Luo?" Xiao Zhirou turned around suddenly, a pair of deep and bright beautiful eyes, staring at Liu Xunyi with deep meaning, and Liu Xunyi, who was looking directly, felt a chill in her heart.

"What does Lord Xiao Gu mean by this? I don't understand!"

"If you have no relatives with the surname Luo, why are you willing to risk breaking your bones and jumping off the cliff of forgetfulness?" Seeing that Liu Xunyi's words were sincere, not like a fake, Xiao Zhirou couldn't help frowning slightly, and said suspiciously, "What kind of ability does the surnamed Luo have?

"This ......"

was asked aggressively by Xiao Zhirou, Liu Xunyi was a little at a loss. There are some words that he would rather rot in his stomach than say them.

Seeing Liu Xunyi's embarrassed face, Xiao Zhirou couldn't help but snort lightly and muttered: "If the person surnamed Luo can send you, he has already calculated that you are willing to give everything for him." I just don't know, is the surname Luo too cunning, or are you too stupid? Even if you die at the bottom of the cliff today, the person surnamed Luo will never shed a single tear. ”

"Perhaps. ”

Xiao Zhirou's words made Liu Xunyi recall the past scenes that happened in Qinfu in Hexi on the second day of the first month of August. He smiled bitterly and said frankly: "But I still came! Since I dare to come, I am ready to come and never return." But what I didn't expect was that the bottom of the cliff of forgetfulness...... It turned out to be a deep pool. ”

Even so, not everyone has the courage to jump off the cliff of forgetfulness. Xiao Zhi Judo, "In life, except for the baby who is waiting to be fed, who can really have a clear conscience? Even if you are ...... There must also be shameful things to see. ”

Xiao Zhirou's words were like needles, which made Liu Xunyi's face change color, and he didn't dare to answer indiscriminately.

Therefore, those who can leap down without fear do not believe that they will not die, on the contrary, they are convinced that they do not want to live in the world anymore, so they have the courage to take that step. Xiao Zhirou continued, "In other words, only those who are bent on death dare to jump off the cliff of forgetfulness. As for you, you're the only one I've ever met who doesn't want to die, but still dares to risk your life. ”

"Listening to what Lord Xiao Gu meant, it seems that besides me, there are others who have jumped over the Cliff of Forgetfulness?"

"I've seen two. Xiao Zhirou said lightly, "And you are the third." ”

"Who are the other two?"

Xiao Zhirou's expression was stunned, and she said faintly: "One is me, and the other is Tang Afu." ”

"Tang Afu?" Liu Xunyi was taken aback and said in astonishment, "Why did he jump off the cliff?"

"Back then, the Tang family was ransacked, and he was deceived by Shen Dongshan of all his ancestral business, although I saved his life, but I couldn't save his heart. He never passed his own level, he was depressed all day long, had no fighting spirit, was confused, and was bent on death. Xiao Zhirou recalled, "Later, I took him to the Cliff of Forgetfulness. I told him that as long as he jumped, all the pain would disappear, and it was up to him to decide whether he dared to jump or not. ”

Liu Xunyi frowned, and hesitated: "In the end, Tang Afu really jumped off the cliff of forgetfulness, went through a round of life and death, had an epiphany, rekindled his fighting spirit, and gradually walked out of the haze of family ruin?"

"It's not about forgetting, it's about seeing through. Xiao Zhirou explained, "Back then, it was also in this place, I asked Ah Fu, you are not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of living? You can come to this place from the bottom of the cliff, which is enough to prove that you don't actually want to die, you are still struggling to survive." ”

"It is said that the ruthless valley lord is the most ruthless, and now it seems that the valley lord Xiao is precisely the most affectionate person. Liu Xunyi sighed sincerely, changed his mind, and asked meaningfully, "Then the Lord of Xiao Gu was ...... back then?" Why did you jump off the Cliff of Forgetfulness? Could it have anything to do with King Beixian?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhirou's eyes suddenly froze, and she said coldly: "Mouthy!"

"Seniors forgive sins!" Liu Xunyi hurriedly apologized, then rolled his eyes and hesitated, "It's just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that although I only have a one-sided relationship with Lord Xiao Gu, I believe in every word that Lord Xiao Gu says!" Liu Xunyi replied with something in his words.

Xiao Zhirou sneered and said in a deep voice: "If you want me to fulfill my promise, you can speak out, and you don't have to talk about him left and right." ”

Liu Xunyi was overjoyed in his heart, quickly got up, and arched his hand: "I am bold, I wish to hear the teachings of Lord Xiao Gu!"

Xiao Zhirou glanced at Liu Xunyi, then turned to look at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and asked without looking back, "What do you want to know?"

"Lord Xiao Gu and King Xian's Mansion...... Or what kind of grievances are there between him and King Beixian, and is there any misunderstanding?"

Although Liu Xunyi was quite jealous of Xiao Zhirou, but at this point, he couldn't avoid it, so he simply spoke boldly.

"Not a misunderstanding!"

Although Xiao Zhirou's voice was soft, her tone was extremely firm: "Between me and the surnamed Luo, there is an old account that can never be settled. This enmity is so deep that it is impossible to resolve it in a lifetime. ”

"Shhh

Liu Xunyi was secretly shocked in his heart, but he still forced his composure on the surface, and asked, "Dare to ask...... What's the grudge?"

"This ......"

I wanted to blurt it out, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them back alive. This cycle repeatedly, and countless times I wanted to speak and stopped, and finally turned into a sigh full of grief and bitterness.

Even if Liu Xunyi was anxious, he didn't dare to open his mouth to urge.

"That's it!"

When Xiao Zhirou spoke again, her voice was far less cold as before, and even faintly trembling. Since she was standing facing the wall, Liu Xunyi couldn't see the change in her eyes.

"Lord Xiao Gu, you are ......"

"You're just talking for the guy surnamed Luo, so there's something to ...... You don't have to know. After hesitating again and again, Xiao Zhirou failed to open the knot in her heart after all.

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but show a sense of loss, and pondered: "It's not that I deliberately make things difficult, it's just that ...... If the Lord of Xiao Gu refuses to explain his past grievances, he may not be able to make a deal when he goes back, and he will not be able to rescue Granny Peach Blossom and the disciples of your sect. ”

"Don't worry. Xiao Zhirou shook her head and said, "Although you don't know some things, the surname Luo knows it." ”

Liu Xunyi was confused when he heard this, and thought hard to no avail, and asked rhetorically: "I don't know what Lord Xiao Gu means......"

"Wait for me to play the piano. Xiao Zhirou stared sideways at the guqin in the corner, and said faintly, "After you go back, play Yu surnamed Luo, and he will understand everything." ”

Although Liu Xunyi didn't know the reason, he saw Xiao Zhirou's solemn expression and sentimental words, so he stopped arguing.

"Remember, I'll only play ...... once"

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Liu Xunyi's eyes changed, and he hurriedly dissuaded: "I can't hide it, in the next martial arts, it is reluctant to read and hyphenation, but it is ...... for the rhythm But I don't know anything. Don't say it again, even if it is ten or a hundred times, for Zaixia, it is like hearing a book from heaven, and I don't know what to say......"

"So what?" Xiao Zhirou seemed a little displeased, and said angrily, "I only promised to give you the answer, but I didn't say what the answer was." You don't know the rhythm yourself, can you blame me?"

"This ......"

"If you can't remember the music of the piano, and Granny Peach Blossom and my disciples in the valley have an accident, at the end of the world, I will kill you. Xiao Zhirou threatened in a cold voice.

"I ......"

In the face of Xiao Zhirou's "strong words", Liu Xunyi is dumb and eats coptis, and he can't say anything about his suffering.

"Prick up your ears and listen to ......"

"Wait!"

Seeing that Xiao Zhirou wiped the dust off the piano, and the ten Qianqian jade fingers had been gently caressed on the strings, Liu Xunyi dissuaded again: "I have a way!"

Xiao Zhirou raised her eyebrows, and said suspiciously: "What way?"

"Before Lord Xiao Gu strokes the qin, I want to see someone!" Liu Xunyi said urgently, "This person is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his attainments in music and rhythm are unparalleled." At present, this person is the only one in the Valley of Despair who has the ability to look at the monument and never forget it. If she is there, she will definitely be able to pass on the sound of the piano of the Lord of Xiao Valley to the King of Beixian without leakage. ”

"You're talking about ......"

"Granny Peach Blossom's high feet, Pan Yuyin!"

"Yuyin?" Xiao Zhirou was slightly stunned and hesitated, "Do you want her to help you?"

"It's just the sound of a piano, except for the Lord of Xiao Gu and the King of Beixian, no one else in the world can hear the deep meaning, let alone guess the past grievances between you because of this. Liu Xunyi seemed to see Xiao Zhirou's concerns, and hurriedly added, "Lord Xiao Gu, the top priority at the moment is to rescue Granny Peach Blossom and the disciples of your sect, not to make things difficult. I hope to focus on the overall situation, please think twice!"

I don't know if I was moved by Liu Xunyi's sincerity, or was it to save people's hearts? Xiao Zhirou hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

The two did not hesitate any longer, picked up the guqin, and walked out of the grass hut one after another.

"I wonder where they are, Miss Pan?"

"They all thought you were buried in the abyss, so they are burying you with your clothes. ”

"This ......" Xiao Zhirou's words made Liu Xunyi extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Have you ever thought that I was lying to you? What if the Cliff of Forgetfulness really broke your bones?" asked Xiao Zhirou.

"The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, but it is an excellent place to be buried, and death is death. ”

"Seeing that you are young, why is it always inseparable from the word 'death' when you open your mouth and close your mouth?"

"Why does Lord Xiao Gu knowingly ask? You and I both know that people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. ”

"Where are your parents? Can they bear to see you licking blood from the knife every day?"

In response to Xiao Zhirou's casual question, Liu Xunyi was unable to answer, and the smile on his face gradually solidified.

"What? Could it be that both of your parents have passed away?" for some reason, Xiao Zhirou's tone softened a little.

"Alas!"

In this regard, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but sigh, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

While talking, the two had already boarded the boat at the ferry.

"What about the rest of your family?"

"Alas!"

"Could it be...... No siblings either?"

"Alas......"

Three sighs in a row, like flowing water. Accompanied by a lonely boat, it went up the current and slowly went towards the Valley of Despair.

......
