Twenty-one years ago, in the late autumn dusk, an old man who was more than half a hundred years old and walked alone in the rivers and lakes, relying on his keen sense of smell to smell a faint smell of blood, with his extraordinary ear power to hear a baby's cry, found a murder scene that had just been ransacked by bandits, and found two naked newborn babies in the pile of dead, their mothers were stabbed several times, exhausted their last life and gave birth to them after they had gone away with a smile.

The old man looked at the terrible scene before him, grief-stricken, took off his old coat, tore it in half, wrapped the two babies and put them aside, and buried the innocent and poor people who had been mutilated by the thieves who had lost their conscience. When burying the mother who had just given birth, he found a valuable jade pendant and a silk cloth that recorded profound martial arts on her body.

The old man put the two things away as relics left by the mother to her two children. When he had buried all the dead, he carried two children on his back and slaughtered the nearby bandits.

This is the most murderous time in the old man's life, and it is also the most complicated mood when he kills.

Later, the old man took the two children back to the hut where he lived, looked out the window at the fallen leaves, and sighed that life was like yellow leaves in the wind and duckweed on the water. And because there are seven small characters on the jade pendant, "Sparse Shadow Horizontal Slope Water Clear and Shallow", they were named "Sparse Shadow", one is called Ye Shu, and the other is called Ye Ying.

Not long after dawn, Xiao Shu woke up. The wounds on his body Ye Shuying have been cleaned for him one by one, medicated and bandaged, and the black cloth that was originally covering his face has been removed, because there are only two people in the guest room, he and Ye Shuying, and the emerald gauze curtain covering the bed has isolated him from the outside world, and even Ye Shuying, who is sitting at the table, can't see his face clearly through the curtain.

Xiao Shu tilted his head to the side of the bed, reluctantly sat up, coughed sharply, and said, "Shadow, is that you?"

Ye Shuying was pleasantly surprised, seeing that the person in the curtain had already sat up, she didn't rush over to look at him, but said, "It's me, don't move, take care of your injuries." ”

Xiao Shu couldn't help coughing a few times and said, "Are you also injured?"

Ye Shuying said: "Yes, but not as seriously injured as you." ”

Xiao Shu said: "Zhong Yulin is dead, but ......"

Ye Shuying said: "You don't have to say more, I already know, Jiang Ting and Lin Zhiyuan also know about the Qiankun Mental Method." In addition, 'Zhiwei Weng' Ji Wuyi and Hong'er already know our relationship. ”

Xiao Shu said: "Tianji Pavilion's 'Zhiwei Weng'? It seems that it is really not easy to hide from this person. But how would Miss Shen know?"

Ye Shuying said: "She guessed it herself." ”

Xiao Shu smiled and said, "Guess? You don't mean it, how can she guess who I am for no reason? Even if you tell her, I won't blame you, why do you lie to me?"

Ye Shuying said: "She treated you last night, and she could see your past from your pulse, and even you could feel the fracture of your left calf and the three ribs on your right side a year ago." I can't hide it even if I want to, so why should I tell her?"

Xiao Shu looked at Ye Shuying in surprise, and said after a while: "She has such ability at such a young age, and the disciple of Huaxi Valley is really not to be underestimated." ”

Ye Shuying said: "You already know her ability, otherwise you wouldn't have asked her to solve the poison of the Lin family's 'Soul Devouring Needle' for me, instead of going directly to Lin Zhiyuan to get the antidote." ”

Xiao Shu's expression suddenly darkened, and he said, "Shadow, if I told you that I was also trying my luck that night and gambling with your life, would you blame me?"

Ye Shuying smiled: "It seems that my luck has always been good. I also know that wanting Lin Zhiyuan to hand over the antidote is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. In order to achieve his goal, he can even deceive and use his own sister again and again, how could he hand over the antidote for no reason? Fortunately, you already knew that there was a disciple of Huaxi Valley nearby, otherwise ......"

Xiao Shu said: "Actually, you can agree to Lin Zhiyuan's request." ”

Ye Shuying said: "But I'm not you." Lin Zhi is far from being a gentleman, but also a villain among villains, once I agree to his request and enter the gate of the Lin family with them, all things are not under my control, and I can't even predict them. What's more, I hate being coerced the most, so it's better to have a grudge with them, even if I die, I can die comfortably. If it were you, you wouldn't have agreed to him, would you?"

Xiao Shu sighed and said, "You can think like this, what else do I have to say." ”

Ye Shuying got up and said, "You wait, I'll go get your medicine." ”

A moment later, Ye Shuying returned to the room with a large bowl of black medicinal soup, Xiao Shu was already sitting at the table, his face was already wearing a mask carved from pine wood, only his eyes and mouth and nose were exposed. This was carefully carved for him by Ye Shuying overnight in order to pass the time.

It seems that it is more convenient to wear a mask than to cover the face, and it is no wonder that their master has always worn a mask instead of covering his face.

Xiao Shu saw a big bowl full of medicinal soup, smelled the strong smell of medicine, frowned, and said, "Are you sure this is for me to drink? I have drunk enough of this medicine a year ago, and I swear that I will never drink it again in this life." If there is any good wine in this shop, you may wish to bring me two jars. He said excitedly, and he couldn't stop coughing.

Ye Shuying said with a smile: "Look at your appearance, you still want to drink? This medicine is not what I asked you to drink, it is a prescription prescribed by Hong'er, I went to the pharmacy early in the morning to grab the medicine, you don't want to live up to our kindness." What's more, your injuries this time are no less severe than the one you did a year ago. ”

Xiao Shu said: "Your kindness? Congratulations. If this were a glass of wine, I would have drunk it unceremoniously, alas......"

Although he was unwilling, he still picked up the bowl of soup and medicine, and drank it to the bottom, as if he was drinking a glass of mellow old wine. However, after drinking, he deliberately made a retching appearance again, and then smiled at Ye Shuying and said, "It seems that there is nothing else in the abdomen except this bowl of medicine." ”

Ye Shuying said with a smile: "The kitchen is making breakfast, and the food will be delivered soon." As he spoke, he took out a ceramic vial from his bosom, and said: "This is the 'Seven Treasures Shisheng Pill' of Huaxi Valley, which is refined with seven extremely valuable medicinal materials, which is very good for your injury, and from the day after tomorrow, you will take one pill every morning and evening." ”

Xiao Shu took the bottle, smiled, and said, "Since you already have this pill, why do you trick me into drinking the decoction medicine? Since it has already been handed over to me, why do you want to start taking it the day after tomorrow?"

Ye Shuying said: "Because you have to drink decoction medicine for these two days." ”

Xiao Shu said, "Why? Are you deliberately tricking me?"

Ye Shuying shook his head and smiled: "This is what Hong'er asked me to tell you." Hong'er does things with her own reasons, you just need to listen to her. ”

Xiao Shu said: "I only know that women are the most unreasonable, if you agree with the truth spoken by women, sooner or later you will be unlucky." I don't want to listen to her reasoning, anyway, this Seven Treasure Shisheng Pill has already arrived in my hands, do you think I will still listen to her decoction medicine?"

Ye Shuying said: "Anyway, the injury is on you, you can do it yourself." Now I'm going to tell you about Jiang Ting and the Sword Forge Villa. ”

Ye Shuying told Jiang Ting about what he said about Sword Casting Villa and the "game" in general, and then told him about the fight with the "Iron Flute Immortal" on the top of Tiandu Peak, and the transaction with the "Zhiwei Weng", and finally untied the jade pendant he was wearing around his neck, and said: "So, after your injury is healed, you need to go to Yanmei Village to find out." But you must be careful, although this thing is from the Feng family of Yanmei Village, we are not sure whether the Feng family is friend or foe to us. ”

Xiao Shu said: "I understand. But why don't you go yourself?"

Ye Shuying said: "I'm worried that Jiang Ting will make a big fuss about this matter and cause disadvantage to Yanmeizhuang, so I asked you to investigate secretly." ”

Xiao Shu said: "Does Jiang Ting really have that great ability, can he take advantage of any contradictions and flaws?"

Ye Shuying said: "Everything is only afraid of people with hearts. I almost lost my life in the Shattered Leaf Forest, and you were seriously injured today, but it was just because of a game he played with Yuhime. ”

Xiao Shu said: "I understand. Well, now it's my turn to tell you what I know. ”

Ye Shuying nodded: "You say." ”

Xiao Shu said: "There are three places in this Cloud Mountain that I know. The closest to this place is one in the southwest of Shuzhou City, one in Hanyang is relatively close to Hucheng, and there is also a mountain in Quzhou City called Yunwu Mountain. So to do this, you'd better first inquire about how many Cloud Mist Mountains there are in the world, and then determine where the Sword Casting Mountain Villa is. ”

Ye Shuying nodded and said, "I know." ”

Xiao Shu continued: "This favor, maybe the lazy dragon can help you, because Fenglai Pavilion has a 'King of Guangchuan' who is good at robbing tombs, Wang Guangchuan, who is not only proficient in feng shui, but also knows the mountains and rivers of Kyushu in China well. Although five of the Eight Snitches of Fenglai Pavilion have died, this person happens to be still alive, and if he has this person's help, I am afraid that it will not take a few days to determine which Cloud Mist Mountain Villa is in. ”

Ye Shuying had also heard of this person for a long time. Legend has it that this person is not only able to fly the eaves and walk the wall without making a sound, rob hundreds of households at night without leaving a trace, but also has a habit of robbing tombs. He robbed the tomb neither for greed for money nor for anger, but for fun, because he saw that there was a tomb underground and a treasure in the tomb according to the topography of the mountains, so he couldn't help but dig up the treasure. Therefore, the surname is Wang, and the style is very similar to Liu Qu, the king of Guangchuan who took pleasure in robbing tombs in the Western Han Dynasty, so he changed his name to Wang Guangchuan and was nicknamed "Guangchuan Wang".

Ye Shuying said: "I also thought of this matter. Big Brother Lazy Dragon will come to me tonight. ”

Xiao Shu shook his head and sighed deeply, as if he was helpless, and said, "It seems that I should take care of my injuries." As he spoke, he put away the jade pendant on the table, got up and walked towards the carved silk bed.

Ye Shuying said: "But I'm going to accompany Hong'er to Liuhe Town to visit Old Man Zheng." This time at the top of Tiandu Peak, if it weren't for the help of Old Man Zheng and others, I am afraid that I would have gone and never returned. He was not lightly injured this time, and yesterday he spent his energy looking for Hong'er, I said that I would go to visit him in everything, not to mention that Hong'er also wanted to see him. ”

Xiao Shu said: "Liuhe Town, it doesn't seem to be close to here, if you go now, you may not be able to come back tonight." ”

Ye Shuying said: "So, if I can't come back in time tonight, when the eldest brother comes, I hope you can entertain you well." ”

Xiao Shu smiled: "Of course, you and him are friends of life and death, and my friendship with him is not bad." ”

Ye Shuying shook her head and smiled bitterly, and said, "When it comes to friends of life and death, the two of you are worthy of your name. As for me, I am really ashamed, I knew that I should have used the Meridian Soul Searching Finger on Zhong Yulin when I was competing in the Fengjia Racecourse, and I would not have caused such a result today. ”

Although neither Lazy Dragon nor Xiao Shu said how they escaped from the seven people who wanted to capture the "shadow of Ye Shuying", it can be seen from the injuries they suffered that they once hated the same enemy, fought bloodily, and would rather die than give in. If it weren't for the lazy dragon, Xiao Shu wouldn't have come back at all, and if it weren't for Xiao Shu, the lazy dragon wouldn't have been able to kill Zhong Yulin, and he wouldn't be able to avenge the east.

Xiao Shu said: "After all, it's just a martial arts competition. And not only did Lazy Long never blame you, he even thanked you for giving him the opportunity to avenge Dongfang Min in person. So although he was seriously injured for this matter, he was still much happier than Zhong Yulin dying at the hands of you and me. ”

Ye Shuying suddenly smiled and said, "Take care, I'll go first." ”
