Chapter Eighty-Three: Relatives
"What I promised you, the old man will not break his promise. Xie Hui said quietly, "Dongfang Lian Mo didn't expect that in this life, he raised you as his own daughter, but you have another relative living in your heart." ”
Yue Zhishu was silent, his hands caressing the strings in his arms.
"Don't worry, your brother is alive and well now, but it's a long way from Shudi, and most of them won't be able to see each other until late spring. ”
Hearing this, a trace of joy appeared on Yue Zhishu's pale face in an extremely rare way: "Really?"
"The old man can't lie to you. Xie Hui smiled and said, "The other person is in Huaixi, but he is a monk." It can also be regarded as avoiding the limelight for the former enemy. ”
Yue Zhishu's expression turned a few times, and a smile of relief appeared on his face: "Monk...... It's okay, anyway, when the time comes, he will return the vulgar if he is happy, and if he is not happy, I will accompany him to become a monk. ”
"Monks are not allowed to approach nuns in their temples. Xie Hui lightly pointed out a common sense.
Yue Zhishu was stunned when he heard this, and tilted his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Yes...... That doesn't seem to be the way to go. If you don't want to be vulgar, I'll just go to the room next to the temple. Go to the incense every day, and see him every day. ”
She lowered her head, stared at the guqin in her hand, and said to herself: "Anyway, in the first half of my life, I lived a vicious life, and I don't talk about any merits, even if it is the ancient Buddha of the green light in the second half of my life, it is not too much......"
Xie Hui was silent, his old eyes reflecting the light and clouds flowing outside the carriage.
"By the way, what is Dongfang Lianmo going to do?" Yue Zhishu asked.
"You don't have to ask. Xie Hui closed his eyes and frowned imperceptibly.
If he was poured cold water on his head, Yue Zhishu's heart hung in his throat.
"Take care of yourself so that you can survive in the Black Cloud Society, understand?" Xie Hui said slowly, but there was a chilling warning in his voice.
"Yes. Yue Zhishu hurriedly lowered his head, and cold sweat flowed all over his body unconsciously.
As the sun set in the west and the sky darkened slightly, the carriage stopped in front of the old suspension bridge.
Yue Zhishu was driven out of the carriage first. Then, with the support of the man in black, Xie Hui slowly got out of the car.
The black-robed man who had pinched and exploded the heads of two leaf-making dead soldiers with one palm at the martial arts conference stood beside Yue Zhishu for some reason. He narrowed his eyes and took a closer look at the little girl who was new to them today.
The black-robed man opened his thin and sunken mouth, sneered twice, and said coldly: "Little girl, don't think that you can get so close to the helmsman. In the Black Cloud Society, the slightest act of disloyalty cannot escape the eyes of the helmsman. ”
Yue Zhishu frowned imperceptibly, didn't speak, just stood to the side with the piano in his arms.
The team assembled at the bridgehead, and Yue Zhishu was already lagging behind. However, Dongfang Lianmo, who was held up by twenty people with thick camphor wood and couldn't move, was even further back than her, far away at the end of the line.
Yue Zhishu looked back a few times as much as he tried not to be noticed, and secretly had some unspeakable worries.
A long line began to cross the suspension bridge.
From beginning to end, Xie Hui has been in a key position to be protected. Yue Zhishu followed the crowd from a distance, and even doubted that even if someone cut the suspension bridge now, those black-clothed people would be able to go forward and ensure that Xie Hui would not fall from it.
It's so tight that it's terrifying.
After walking across the hundred-foot suspension bridge that he was familiar with, Yue Zhishu followed the people of the Black Cloud Society to the gate of Tangjiabao.
Half a day ago, the bronze gate that was cut by Tu Mi's sword has not been repaired, and the Tangjiabao, which has stood for hundreds of years, is facing the arrival of the new owner with the front door wide open.
Without too many orders, the members of the Black Cloud Society quietly infiltrated and controlled all corners of Tangjiabao. In the face of the fact that the alliance leader was defeated, most of the Tang Sect disciples lost the will to resist, and occasionally those who did not understand it were also cut off by the Black Cloud Society's A characters to put it mildly.
Even the bloodstains were dealt with very quickly. After all, this time the Black Cloud Society will not run away with a few indiscriminate killings, but will live in this fortress for a long time.
Maybe Xie Hui didn't tell him too much, when the Black Cloud Society cleaned the inside of Tangjiabao, no one took care of Yue Zhishu's actions. She hid behind the wall and saw with her own eyes many people carrying Dongfang Lianmo and sending them into the bronze gate underground.
Of course, the four locks on the door were also replaced with new deadbolts, and at least twenty people were closely guarded.
Yue Zhishu looked around for a long time, knowing that it was impossible to sneak in quietly, so he had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Although she had only been away for a short time, this Tangjiabao was still a little different from her impression.
The most obvious is the Linxian Dao. The only passage between the cliffs on both sides was half destroyed, cutting off the road to Dongfang Lianmo's bedroom.
You don't have to think about it to know that such a stroke must come from the two first-class masters who fought here last night.
Yue Zhishu sighed silently.
After fourteen years of incubation, everything she did was far from perfect, but Dongfang Lianmo never doubted her. Even if it is related to the sharpening of Mo Dao's sword, she is almost entirely responsible for it.
Capturing thieves and capturing kings, this is a truth that Yue Zhishu is well aware of. Xie Hui's instructions to her were to infiltrate Dongfang Lianmo's life and quietly harm him without anyone knowingly. In other places, even in the cultivation of Mo Dao, she is also dedicated, and there has never been a slight inconsistency between inside and outside.
Of course, she knew that Dongfang Lianmo and Xie Hui were not good. It is not so much that Xie Hui is holding his brother's life in his hands, so that Yue Zhishu does not dare to disobey his orders, but it is better to say that Dongfang Lianmo himself is not a good person, which is not enough for Yue Zhishu to repay.
Although in that Gobi, he really wanted to save her.
Suddenly the wind rose, and Yue Zhishu vaguely felt that the figure in front of him flickered, but he couldn't see it really.
Just as he was in doubt, he suddenly heard a voice from his side: "Stand on the edge of the cliff for too long, but be careful not to fall." ”
Yue Zhishu suddenly came back to his senses, looking for the source of the voice, only to find that half a foot away from his side, there was a young monk with a robe on his shoulders.
"Who are you?" Yue Zhishu frowned. This kind of dress is definitely not a member of the Black Cloud Society.
"Amitabha. The poor monk is just a wandering monk, who travels from Shuzhong to Huaixi, visits 800 Buddhist temples along the way, and is still on the way back. ”
"Eight Hundred Buddha Temples ......" Yue Zhishu muttered, and suddenly recalled some news, "You...... You are a Buddha ......."
The ten wishes of the monks of Shu have made ten great wishes to the world. One of the wishes is that there can be 800 incense temples in the world.
"It doesn't matter who the poor monk is. ”
The young monk interrupted Yue Zhishu's words.
"But who is the benefactor?"
Yue Zhishu fell silent.
The Buddhist monk smiled slightly, and said seemingly casually: "When the poor monk passed through Huaixi, he once passed by a Buddhist temple named Jiuda. The temple is deep and wide, but unfortunately it is empty, and it should have experienced the disaster of blood and light. ”
Yue Zhishu was stunned when he heard this.
The words of the Buddhist monk were imprinted in her mind several times before she reacted to something, raised her head in a daze and said, "Holy monk......"
However, her front was already empty, and the monk was nowhere to be found.
——————
Yue Zhishu asked to see. The man in black who was guarding the door shouted.
Xie Hui, who was sitting on the main seat of white iron, bowed slightly. "Let her in. ”
The heavy iron door opened a foot inward, and the woman in green emerged from the shadows behind the door.
"Thank you, helmsman. As soon as the woman appeared, she bowed deeply.
"Not necessarily. "Xie Hui cherishes words like gold.
Yue Zhishu once again walked through this extremely familiar long road.
In the shadows of the pillars on both sides, the guards had taken off their blue headbands and changed into black clothes.
And the one who was high under the pattern of the Radiant Sun Wheel also changed from a tall first-class master to a thin and weak old man.
Yue Zhishu knelt down in a place far away from Xie Hui: "I take the liberty to disturb the helmsman, Zhishu still has something unclear, and it is unbearable to think about it, so I have to ask to know, so I take the liberty to disturb." ”
"You say. Xie Hui said.
"Yes. Yue Zhishu raised his head, and the look of joy on his face did not seem to be fake.
Thinking of being able to reunite with his brother after many years of absence, Zhishu was full of joy and wanted to jump out of the sky. However, I calmed down and thought about it carefully, and felt that I hadn't seen me for more than ten years, and my brother really didn't recognize me. I thought about whether I should go and investigate first, and then get acquainted with my brother slowly, what does the helmsman think?"
Xie Hui frowned, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Yue Zhishu's words, so he could only nod slowly.
Yue Zhishu hurriedly knelt on the ground again: "Dare to ask the helmsman, where is my brother becoming a monk in the monastery now? After all, he will be considered to have regained his free body in the future, and Zhishu should make plans early." ”
Xie Hui was silent for a while, and there was a slight twitch on his face.
After a while, he said lightly: "Huaixi Jiuda Temple." ”
The moment he heard this, Yue Zhishu, who was lying on the ground, trembled suddenly.
But there can be no flaws here. Otherwise, it's all over.
She hurriedly pretended to be excited: "Thank you for the helmsman!"
Then, as if she was really happy, she jumped up from the ground, with tears of joy on her face, and saluted Xie Hui a few times, and then slowly stepped back.
After taking about three or four steps back, Yue Zhishu turned around, wiped the tears from his face, and slowly walked towards the door, unconsciously speeding up his steps little by little.
Be sure to get out of here as soon as possible, while you still have the courage to escape here.
Once she let those fears behind her catch up, she can't leave it anymore.
Xie Hui watched in silence at Yue Zhishu's departing back, no matter how much that back looked like he had fled from the desert, he didn't say anything.
Yue Zhishu's hand touched the pull ring of the gate.
"Wait. ”
Xie Hui spoke at this time.
Yue Zhishu didn't move, his heart was about to jump out of his throat. She clutched the tab tightly, and turned back with difficulty, despite the frozen half of her body.
Xie Hui said: "You haven't asked to leave yet." ”
The stone hanging from the mouth of the heart was lowered. Yue Zhishu silently breathed a sigh of relief, leaned over and said, "Zhishu retires." ”
Her hand never left the knocker. The fair-skinned wrist trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat overflowed between the knuckles.
Xie Hui closed his eyes and sighed.
"Arrest her. ”
Before Yue Zhishu could react, the two black-clothed men waiting in the shadows rushed up and subdued her in an instant.
At the last moment before losing consciousness, what appeared in front of Yue Zhishu's eyes was Dongfang Lianmo's face.
She snorted self-deprecatingly.
"How did you get to this point and still see you......"
Consciousness gradually sank into a bottomless abyss.
