Chapter 89: Xiao Qian (3)
Battles come and go fast.
Ning Caichen only saw Fluttershy's figure pounce on Qiao Chen'an, who entered the room, and then a blazing golden light slashed her into powder, and everything happened in the light of light.
The sword qi was like a rainbow, turning into a streamer, and finally returned to Qiao Chen'an's hand, turning into a broken small sword.
Ning Caichen straightened his clothes, there was still palpitations on his face, he walked quickly to Qiao Chen'an's side, frowned slightly, and said, "Chen'an, even if she has something wrong, she does something like that to me...... Such a decent, but not a sin that leads to death, how can you take her life?"
Qiao Chenan smiled when he heard this: "Brother Caichen, do you think there are bones left after her death?"
Ning Caichen was stunned for a moment before he said, "I'm also wondering about this ......."
Qiao Chenan said again: "Although we scholars don't believe in ghosts and gods, whether Brother Caichen believes it or not, there are indeed ghosts and ghosts in this world. The woman just now was not a living person, but just a harmful female ghost in this temple!"
"This ...... Is that really the case?!"
Ning Caichen looked at Qiao Chen'an with some hesitation when he heard this, but what he saw from the latter's eyes was only affirmation, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said, "I didn't expect you and I to meet a female ghost......
Although he was a scholar, he was also a bold man, so he did not have much fear.
Ning Caichen suddenly remembered something, looked at Qiao Chen'an incredulously, stared at him in disbelief and said: "Qiao, Brother Qiao, you were ...... just now"
His eyes fell on the small sword in Qiao Chen'an's hand, and his mind was full of the scene of the golden light boiling just now, killing the female ghost.
At this point, Qiao Chenan knew that he could no longer hide his matter as a cultivator, and there was no need to hide it, so he said calmly: "Brother Caichen, listen to me slowly......
When he was about to tell how he met the old Taoist priest and then was taught some cultivation methods, of course, some hidden things were involved, which he automatically omitted.
Ning Caichen's eyes were full of excitement when he heard this, and he was amazed, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Brother Qiao to have such a blessed fate...... There really are such strange people in this world, but I am lonely and unheard. ”
The candles were lit up in the room, and the two talked to each other, but they didn't know that everything that had just happened fell into the eyes of the other.
Xiao Qian stood alone in the courtyard, the dark shadow of the eaves shrouded her, a plain hand covered her red lips, her beautiful eyes were full of surprise, her chest rose and fell slightly, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
She didn't expect that the man who was still in her arms a moment ago would be a cultivator, but she laughed at how she wanted to tempt him with this hue, but now that she thought about it, she was simply killing herself.
Fluttershy is still vividly remembered when she is killed by a sword, and although her cultivation is not as good as her own, she is not much worse, and even so, she still does not make a single move in the hands of the other party.
Nie Xiaoqian suddenly felt a deep fear, her body trembled slightly, she was a ghost, she didn't know the cold and heat for a long time, but at this moment she felt chills all over her body.
But after the fear, she looked at Qiao Chen'an's eyes and raised a little expectation, the small flame that was originally buried deep in her heart, longing for freedom, and liberation burned more and more in her heart, and finally turned into a raging flame, devouring her.
As soon as this thought was born, it grew irrepressibly wildly, echoing in her mind, and she could no longer calm down, and suddenly made up her mind.
If you can't be liberated, you'd rather be wiped out.
Ning Caichen seemed to be quite interested in the matter of cultivation, and pulled Qiao Chenan to ask questions, his face was full of excitement, and he didn't feel sleepy until late at night and fell asleep again.
Qiao Chenan was so disturbed by him, he forgot about Xiaoqian, and was about to rest, when he suddenly heard a few elegant and crisp piano sounds.
Only then did he remember that there was a third person in the courtyard, so he immediately pushed the door and moved into the courtyard, following the sound.
From afar, I saw a white-clothed figure in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Qiao Chen'an walked on the plank bridge, and came to the middle of the water.
White curtains draped around the pavilion, falling and swaying slowly with the night breeze.
Xiao Qian sat in the pavilion, with a guqin in front of her, and her ten-point white and green jade fingers stroked the strings, and the fingertip notes danced.
She plucked the strings gently, her movements gracefully like a dancing peacock, and the white veil fluttered, like a white swan under the night sky.
Qiao Chen'an subconsciously closed his eyes and listened, the sound of the piano seemed to turn into gurgling water, hitting the pebbles, and like a bee inciting its wings to fly among the flowers, bringing the breath of spring, which made people feel refreshed.
Gradually, however, the sound of the piano changed, breaking the previous leisureliness, and for a moment it was like a heavy rain pouring down and a hundred flowers were broken, and the river dried up, revealing a cracked riverbed.
The sound of the piano deepened and deepened, and Qiao Chen'an's brows became deeper and deeper, although he didn't know much about the rhythm, he also felt a thick sadness from the sound.
There was an abrupt thud.
Qiao Chenan opened his eyes and looked forward, but saw Xiao Qian sitting in front of the guqin in a daze, her hands still on the piano case, but the string under the jade finger had broken.
Under the moonlight, Xiao Qian's face was dead gray, her eyes were blank, and she looked straight ahead blankly, for a long time, and suddenly two points of crystal rolled down.
Qiao Chenan sighed softly.
There was silence in the pavilion, only the sound of the wind blowing through the curtain, Xiao Qian came back to her senses for a long time, only to find that there were two more tear stains on her face unconsciously, and her eyes were moist.
She didn't get up, but knelt in front of the guqin, pressed her snow-white forehead tightly to the ground, and said, "Please save Xiaoqian!"
The voice was choked, and a pair of weak shoulders kept trembling, as if they were invisibly under great pressure.
The moonlight pulled a slender shadow behind her.
Qiao Chenan said: "Get up!"
When the voice came out, I realized that there were no other abnormal emotions as I thought, but it was very calm.
Looking down at the woman who was kneeling in front of him, he didn't know what it was like in his heart.
In a trance, the shadow of another person appeared in front of him, in Qiantang City, the crying pear blossom brought rain, knelt in the house, and begged himself to rescue him from the hands of the ghost king, oh, how similar the situation was that day to this time!
In fact, long before he heard the sound of the piano and came to the pavilion, he was thinking about a question, if Xiao Qian really asked him for help, how should he deal with it at that time?
Adhering to the attitude of hanging high and unconcerned about himself, indifferent refusal, and still leaving this weak woman here, continuing to live a life of being oppressed by her grandmother, and becoming her grandmother's killing tool?
He asked himself if he couldn't be so ruthless, since that was the case, there was only one way left.
Yes, he admits that there is his selfishness mixed in this, but a person lives a lifetime, he is to go according to his heart, to behave in the world, and he is under the influence of "selfishness" everywhere.
Because of this, one can be called a complete person.
Since the manly man has made up his mind, he should have no regrets, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of him, he must go calmly and fearlessly, this is the so-called price.
Not for anything else, just for the word "man" on his back.
Can be killed, but never defeated.
