Chapter 3: Dead End

The dogs barked and the chickens crowed, and the whole Changling shook and was uneasy, but there were many people sitting as before.

The first night of the prison was cold, and he sat in the covered bridge by the north end of Yanwei Lane.

The small river under the covered bridge was unusually irritable, transparent bubbles kept gushing out of the silt, floating on the water, and the waves crashed against the stone pillars under the covered bridge, making a loud noise, her face was calm, and she didn't seem to care at all.

On the stone bridge beside her, there were black umbrellas open.

Officials in black robes holding black umbrellas covered their bodies in the dark night, densely crowded, spreading from the stone bridge to several streets and alleys behind.

......

Bai Shanshui's footsteps suddenly stopped.

She stopped walking in front of her alley and turned to an alley to the east.

Li Yunrui turned around and followed her without hesitation, following her like a shadow, frowning slightly: "Prison Heavenly Division?"

Bai Shanshui nodded.

Li Yunrui looked at her proud side face, was silent for a moment, and said, "Why don't you go from there?" ”

"Now that Zheng Sleeve has already made a move, and the entire Heavenly Supervisor Division is waiting there, using such a battle for me, even if I can really get out of there, the next step will not be so simple. Bai Shanshui smiled, "You must work hard, and you don't have to find someone who is still pleasing to the eye." ”

After a pause, Bai Shanshui didn't look at Li Yunrui, but continued: "In Changling, it is difficult to find a few that are pleasing to the eye. ”

Li Yunrui shook his head: "If you really have this intention, you should go to her place, she didn't keep you on the Wei River that day, and if you don't pass from there today, others may really think that she has any collusion with you rebels, and her situation in Changling will be even more difficult in the future." ”

"That day, today, in the future..."Bai Shanshui turned his head to look at him with a slight mockery, "I just look at her pleasing to the eye, who can manage such a long-term thing in the future, I just want to be happy at this time, as for whether she will live or die in the future, she is a Qin person, what does it have to do with me." ”

Li Yunrui had never seen such a truth at all, and couldn't help but stagnate.

Bai Shanshui's face suddenly became solemn.

She looked up into the distance.

There was a turret that stood tall even in the dark.

There was no light on the corner tower, but she felt an unusually lofty aura rising in that corner.

The turret grew larger and larger in her perception.

"It's the Castle of Confucianism. ”

Li Yunrui also felt that strange and powerful aura, he looked up at that place, said softly, and then naturally turned westward.

Only that old man could exude that kind of aura, and that was a warning to him and Bai Shanshui.

If he and Bai Shanshui continued to move towards that place despite the warning, that unusually lofty force would truly sweep down, regardless of the affected streets and alleys.

To try is to die.

So he and Bai Shanshui couldn't test whether the old man would really go all out at all costs, and if he didn't want to go back and fight to the death with Liang Lian's army at this moment, then only the West would be able to do it.

At this time, their west was the closest access road to the outskirts of Changling, and in that outskirts, there was a tributary of the Wei River.

Bai Shanshui did not object, and kept up with Li Yunrui's figure.

At this time, there was no flying sword attack, and the two walked side by side, unable to see who was whose attendant.

"There is a big reed dang there, and many ordinary criminals in Changling always thought that it was easy to escape by running there, but they all died there, so that reed dang is also called a dead man's dang. ”

Bai Shanshui gathered his long loose hair and said to Li Yunrui casually. She found that she was really not used to women's makeup.

"Aptly named. ”

Li Yunrui turned his head to look at her, and said in a more serious tone: "You are very good-looking now, so I will not let you fall into their hands, if you can't escape, I will definitely kill you before they catch you." ”

Bai Shanshui was slightly stunned, understanding what he meant if a woman like her fell into the water prison in Changling, the next encounter would probably be more terrible than that of a man, but she smiled indifferently and said, "Thank you for your compliment." ”

The ground was still shaking, and there was a palpitating creaking sound between the roof tiles and beams, but the dangerous sound in their perception was fading, and everything became eerily silent.

No one stood in the way.

Like a couple after watching a lantern festival, the two of them stroll through the streets late at night.

"Since I became a sword, my senior brother has been the only one who has followed me all these years, and I have not even had a male friend who is even slightly close. ”

This atmosphere was naturally amazingly depressing, but Bai Shanshui didn't care, looked at some dim shadows on the bluestone pavement, and said casually: "Before, if a man dared to say such things to me, even if I didn't kill him, I would at least gouge out his eyes." ”

Li Yunrui frowned slightly, feeling that Bai Shanshui was violent, but thinking of her previous situation, thinking that she was going to make people feel powerful and dangerous, he just lowered his head slightly and did not speak.

"But it's a pity to think that you're about to die, and you haven't even had a true confidant partner, and you haven't even understood the true love between men and women. Bai Shanshui laughed again, and then said: "When the girl's love first opened, I also fantasized that if someone could protect me regardless of his life, I would definitely like him desperately. Although my senior brother has fought side by side with me all these years, he is only a senior brother after all, and my cultivation has always been above him, and many times it is I who is protecting him, and today you are the first man who protects me regardless of his life. ”

Hearing this, Li Yunrui's breath was paused, and his whole body was a little tight.

"Since you think I'm good-looking, if I can rush out today and not die, we can try to start. Bai Shanshui pursed his lips slightly, and then said naturally.

"What to try to start!"

Li Yunrui, who was in the killing array before, regarded life and death as nothing, but his face changed color and he shouted. He turned his head and saw Bai Shanshui's somewhat narrow smile, and he was immediately annoyed, and said angrily: "You still joke with me at this time." ”

Bai Shanshui laughed loudly, laughing without a ladylike demeanor.

After a few breaths, she restrained her smile and said, "I Bai Shanshui said the same, when have you ever heard of me Bai Shanshui joking?"

Li Yunrui was stunned, thinking about this person's life, but he couldn't think of anything to refute, his face was a little red for a while, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Boring!"

Boring?

Bai Shanshui smiled silently.

In this life, I am afraid that it has never been so interesting and dangerous as it is today.

......

Li Yunrui didn't look over, he didn't want to talk to Bai Shanshui anymore.

There was no more sound in the streets.

The dead are still far away, but Bai Shanshui can already feel the moist water emanating from the reeds.

There was a sound among the reeds.

Someone is giving a in the dead man's swing.

The sound of the flute was faint, so slow that it was almost out of tune, and it sounded like an autumn insect was wailing on a summer day, vibrating its wings weakly and unable to fly into the sky from among the reed leaves that covered the sky.

However, this kind of Xiao sound has an amazing penetrating power, passing through several miles of farmland, passing through many streets and alleys, and clearly reaching the ears of Bai Shanshui and Li Yunrui.

Li Yunrui, who had already made up his mind not to talk to Bai Shanshui, took a deep breath, but he couldn't help but ask in a cold voice, "Who is it?"

"Supervisor Chen. ”

"The mysterious guardian of the Divine Prison. ”

Bai Shanshui's words were divided into two brief moments, and Li Yunrui also heard the surprise in her words.

In the next moment, Bai Shanshui pulled his hair back, smiled, and said, "Interesting... We'll go from there. Among these people in Changling, he is the only one I haven't seen him shoot. ”

"Have you seen the rest of the people make a move?" Li Yunrui frowned and said in disbelief.

"You may not believe it, but many times I don't show up, but that doesn't mean I'm not there. Bai Shanshui raised his hands, glanced at him indifferently, and said: "Don't forget, when I was destroyed, I was already a great rebellion, and my dynasty has been destroyed for many years, and before that, I was already on many battlefields. ”

Li Yunrui lowered his head.

Bai Shanshui's experience is naturally far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators, but... Mystery, while interesting, also often means unpredictable and powerful.

If he had to choose, he would rather face another powerful woman in Changling and her entire Heavenly Prison Division than deal with the mysterious prison leader who was waiting for them in the dead man's swing at this moment.

Bai Shanshui walked with his hands in his hands.

He followed in silence.

"In addition to my senior brother, you are also the first man who can follow the dead road without asking whether I am dead or alive. Bai Shanshui's voice came to his ears again.

Li Yunrui became angry again, and said in a heavier tone: "It's boring!"

"Boring?"

Bai Shanshui responded lightly this time: "I just don't want your heart to be full of death, if it's boring, how can you help me survive?"
