"This child is so charming, whoever marries him in the future will really enjoy it. ”

"These eyebrows and eyes, these little skins are tender, they can be wrung out of water. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, this is from the Nangong Master's mansion, dare to say nonsense, I'm not afraid that the Nangong Master will know about discounting your legs!"

"Who is in Nangong Master's Mansion? When did Nangong Old Man's Mansion give birth to a daughter?"

"His name is Nangong Caiyun, but he is the son of Master Nangong, the son of a thousand seedlings!"

"Childe, why did you come up with such a name? But don't say it, this little appearance is really worthy of the name, and it should be put into the room by nature. ”

"You've just moved into town, so you don't know. Nangong Gongzi was born with a male and female appearance, and the master of Xingguang Temple said that he must take a female name, otherwise he will not be able to raise it. ”

"Nangong Caiyun, hey. If Lao Tzu is given such a name, Lao Tzu might as well be dead. ”

"That's not going to happen. The master said, this name is called until the age of nine. ”

"That's it... ”

The child, whose name is Caiyun, grows up day by day under the meaningful gaze of everyone. No one but him knew how difficult it was to live. The boys think he's a woman, and the girls think he's a monster. Among his peers, he did not have a playmate.

At first, his parents' attitude towards him was full of pity and care. But when his younger brother was born, everything changed.

His parents, who had always protected him, changed their attitude towards him from pity to disgust.

"It's a youkai!"

After a family dinner, he heard his biological father say this with a wine glass.

"Maybe I'm a monster. The child thought, "But at least give me a normal name, right?"

He hated his body, and he hated that his parents had given him this name.

He can't change his body, but at least the name can, as long as he waits until he is nine years old.

The ninth day of September when he was nine years old was also his birthday.

The mansion held a grand banquet for him to change his name, after all, Master Nangong couldn't lose face in front of outsiders. Just when Nangong Caiyun was dressed up and knelt on the ground, waiting for his father to give him a new name.

A throwing knife flew over his head and landed in his father's heart.

His father's blood spurted his face, hot, some fishy, some sweet.

His father's life was gone, and so was his chance to change his name.

The precocious child thought of this and then fainted.

When he woke up again, the place that once seemed to be home in the distance was a place of happiness. In front of him was a nameless alley, and in front of him stood a strange old man, dressed in colorful clothes, white powder, and rubbing rouge on his face.

"I heard that your name is Caiyun?Nangong Caiyun?"

"Who are you?"

"There's nothing wrong with the name. ”

"Where am I?"

"Your house was destroyed, but it has nothing to do with me. I just happened to see you, and I thought you looked interesting, so I rescued you. ”

"This look saved me?" Nine-year-old Nangong Caiyun's face showed vicissitudes and despair that did not belong to his age: "I, an alternative like a monster, can still save my life?"

"What's wrong with being different? I'm also an other, you're like a man and a woman, and I," the old man pointed to Gong Caiyun, and then to himself, holding an orchid in his hand, "It's not a man." ”

This kind of identity from the alternative brought the first ray of light to Nangong Caiyun's life.

"Follow me in the future. The old monster brings a little monster, the two of us, one life. If I die, you will live for me. ”

"My name?" the old man smiled, "My name is Sleepless." ”

Against the backdrop of the moonlight and firelight, the self-proclaimed sleepless old man said.

In the days that followed, the old man named Sleepless led him to a remote small county town, where the old man did not know what means he used to become a servant. And he naturally lived in the morgue with the old man and began to deal with the corpse. The old man knew a lot and taught him a lot, including martial arts, and some terrifying methods.

In fact, Nangong Caiyun didn't want to learn, but the old man hoped that he would, so he put his mind to it.

Two people, one life, the old man said so and did so. Until the end of his life, the old man left him a sword called "frost" on the sickbed and left his last instructions: "If you have the opportunity, go to the gate of heaven and put a pillar of incense in front of the tablets of my ancestors and ancestors for me." ”

Nangong Caiyun buried the old man on a high mountain near the left, and according to his request, he faced the capital.

When he was dying, he was still thinking about the gate of heaven, and after he died, he would face the capital, and the gate of heaven should be near the capital, right?

Nangong Caiyun left the small county town where he had lived for a long time and began an unknown journey.

Where did he go after that, and what happened to him? No one knows. It's just that when he reappeared, he came to this small city called Majiaji.

The sword he carried behind his back became two, one called Frost and the other called Snow.

And he became a puppet again.

。。。。。。

"Nangong, Nangong~"

A hurried shout outside the door broke Nangong Caiyun's contemplation in the darkness.

"Wait a minute. The soft voice was followed by a "huh~", and a moment later, the oil lamp on the small table was lit.

The door was gently opened, with big watery eyes and a silent question: "Something?"

"Come with me. Sun Daniu, the head of the fast catching team, looked anxious: "The eunuch leader of Dongchang who I talked to you about before is here, and now I want to see you in the lobby." ”

"I'm just a little trick, what do you see me doing?" asked him, but Nangong Caiyun still followed Sun Daniu's footsteps and walked towards the county government hall.

"Merlin's corpse was examined by you, so naturally I want to ask you for questioning. ”

"You have to be careful when you go, pay attention to what you say, have long eyes, say whatever you ask, don't provoke him, he kills people without blinking. ”

"Our Master Zhou said the wrong thing, I heard that he has thrown it into the water to feed the fish, so be careful. ”

Walking into the lobby, under the golden plaque of heaven and earth, a beautiful and somewhat bewitching figure, dressed in a dark python robe, sat quietly, flipping through a booklet in his hand for more than ten pages, this picturesque scene couldn't help but make Nangong Caiyun stunned.

"Are you the one here?" asked Xu Ruyi calmly, without looking up.

"Nangong, my father-in-law asked you something. Sun Daniu, who was kneeling on the ground, gently pushed Nangong Caiyun beside him.

"Yes, I am the one who works here. Nangong Caiyun came back to his senses and replied in the same calm voice.

"Kneel, kneel down and say!" Sun Daniu touched Nangong Caiyun's leg with his elbow, and raised it repeatedly, but thinking about Nangong Caiyun's temper, he turned to Xu Ruyi and smiled flatteringly: "Father-in-law, don't be surprised, Nangong's brain is a little not easy." ”

"Nangong?" Xu Ruyi seemed to be interested, and finally cast his gaze.

"Yes. Nangong Caiyun nodded.

"You go down first. Xu Ruyi pointed outside and motioned to Sun Daniu.

"This... Father-in-law. Sun Daniu was a little hesitant, as if he didn't feel at ease about leaving Nangong Caiyun alone.

Xu Ruyi smiled: "Go down, don't let our family say it a third time." ”

"Yes. Sun Daniu sighed helplessly, turned around and went out.

In the lobby, only Xu Ruyi and Nangong Caiyun were left staring at each other.

In that gaze, with doubts, with curiosity, and with some... Identification with each other.

"You look beautiful, huh?" Xu Ruyi smiled and opened her mouth first.

"You're good-looking, too. The soft voice tickles the hearts of those who listen.

"White Bone Zen?" Xu Ruyi didn't say much, just said these three words tentatively.

"What?" Nangong Caiyun looked dazed.

"It's fine. Xu Ruyi shook his head: "It's sad to look like this, right?"

"Sad?" Nangong Caiyun thought for a while, and did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "What about you?"

"Me?" Xu Ruyi smiled: "I'm a eunuch." A high-ranking eunuch. It's not bad. I killed all those who offended me. ”

"I envy you. Nangong Caiyun sighed lightly, "I also want to kill them." ”

"But you don't have that ability?"

"No, it's just too much, I can't kill it, and I'm just a little used to it. ”

"Hahahaha!" Xu Ruyi looked up to the sky and smiled: "Your answer is too interesting." If you want to kill someone, you can kill one person, and if you want to kill a hundred, you can kill a hundred. A thousand, ten thousand, as long as you want, there will always be a day when you can kill them all. ”

"Perhaps. Nangong Caiyun was noncommittal, as if she was thinking about something.

After a moment, he spoke again: "There are five people standing on the roof now. ”

"I know. Xu Ruyi nodded with a smile: "They should be here to kill me." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Of course you killed them?" swept his sleeves lightly, and Haoran's palm power rose to the sky.

With a "boom", a large hole suddenly broke in the roof, and earth and stones fell, mixed with blood and someone's screams.

"Oh no! This dog eunuch has discovered us!"

"Oh no, fight!"

"Fight!"

The five of them wanted to do it tonight and exchange Xu Ruyi's head for a bonus of 100,000 taels in Yanyu Building. Five people divided 100,000 taels, and no one got 20,000 taels. Simple arithmetic, but now there are only four people left, a little more complicated.

"Give me death!"

The four people who fell from the roof were all dressed in black and masked and carrying swords. As soon as he landed, he rushed towards Xu Ruyi on the seat.

Four cold lights, in no particular order, were handed to Xu Ruyi.

In another moment, the sword light and sword shadow had already slashed at Xu Ruyi's body, but it was a pity that Mo said that he was injured, but he didn't even pick the corner of his clothes.

"The inner family is refining the true qi of the body!"

"This is called Tiangang Tongzi Gong. Xu Ruyi nodded, looked at the four people in front of him as if they were nothing, smiled slightly, like a flower, his wrist did not know how to flip and grab, and the sword in the center of his eyebrows was already in his hand.

This shot is already very different. I thought that the eunuch leader who was pampered by the Beijing master was just an ordinary eunuch, but he didn't expect to have such a terrifying kung fu in his body!

"Withdraw!" the man who had lost his weapon shouted, and a harrier turned over, his toes on the desk a little, and he was about to lift it up.

"Tattered weapons, tattered people. What does it mean to stay in this world?" held the hilt of the sword in one hand, and twisted and folded the tip of the sword in the other.

"Bang la la blah. ”

Countless fragments flew up, densely packed, straight like a storm, sweeping three feet in front of him.

"Ahh

"Huh!"

"No !!"

Sansheng screamed, and then, the dead body fell to the ground. Fragments of iron swords flashed everywhere on the face, throat, heart, shoulders, and even crotch.

Xu Ruyi's gaze skipped over them, and looked at Nangong Caiyun playfully, looking at the cold light of autumn water in his hand.

"Frost, a gift from my father-in-law on his deathbed. Nangong Caiyun briefly introduced, and then put the sword behind his back again.

"Are you the work of this county government?" Xu Ruyi asked again, but this time his attitude was much more serious.

"Nangong Caiyun. ”

"Nice name. Xu Ruyi nodded and introduced himself: "Our family's name is Xu Ruyi, the admiral eunuch of the East Detective Factory." He was ordered to investigate the robbery of the Merlin salt tax. ”

"I've heard of it. ”

"You examined the body, can you tell our family anything?"

"Whoever starts is a master. Nangong Caiyun pondered for a moment and said: "Although the deceased were all scarred by swords and blades, the cause of death was a single sword. or in the heart, or in the throat. No exceptions. ”

"It seems that the people who started are all masters?" Xu Ruyi muttered, "In this way, the White Lotus Sect is more suspicious than the north. ”

The five fingers lightly tapped on the table, and then subconsciously stroked, Xu Ruyi spoke again: "You are also a capable person, so you just want to stay in this Ma family and do a job?"

"Yes. ”

"Do you want to change places and change to a more exciting way of living?"

"That's fine. ”

The attitude of indifference at all made Xu Ruyi feel a little funny: "People must have a goal or attitude to live for a lifetime." Do you want to live a life like this?"

"I... Nangong Caiyun's eyes showed a confused look, but the last entrustment of the old man named Sleepless suddenly appeared in his mind: "If you have the opportunity, go to the Gate of Heaven." In front of the tablets of my ancestors and ancestors, put a stick of incense on me. ”

"Where's the Gate of Heaven?"

The old man did not answer, and passed away in gloom.

"If it's possible, I'd like to go to Heaven's Gate. Nangong Caiyun muttered.

"Tianmen?" Xu Ruyi's eyes condensed slightly: "Why do you want to go?"

"That was my father-in-law's last wish. ”

"Did he tell you where the Gate of Heaven is?"

"I don't know. Nangong Caiyun shook his head: "My father-in-law wants me to go, so I want to go." Although I also have no direction. ”

After a moment of silence, Xu Ruyi smiled and said, "The Tianmen you want to go to, our family knows where it is." If you want to go, we'll give you a chance. Xu Ruyi got up and walked back: "In the next few days, there may be countless clowns who jump off the beam in front of our house." Don't let us do it, help us get rid of them. We will take you to the Gate of Heaven. How?"

"Deal. ”
