Mastermind? (Part I)
"What about shamelessness. β
Zamuhe laughed, suddenly took out a bamboo whistle from his waist, and brought it to his mouth, "shhhh
"Zamuhe, what do you want?" Su Wen gently bit his lower lip and asked,
"You know best what I want. β
Zamuhe turned his head, glanced at the young man proudly, tried his best to put on a smile, and said: "Su Wen, I still say the same thing, as long as you are willing to follow me and draw a line with this kid from now on, then I can spare his life."
"Don't you think about it. β
Su Wen snorted and interrupted him coldly: "What are you, why do you want me to follow you." β
"Yes, I'm not a thing. β
When Zamuhe heard this, he was not angry, but smiled faintly and said, "However, you only have this way to go, otherwise, your lover will have to die in front of you." β
"You threaten me. Su Wen raised his head, glared at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to kill him, it's a big deal that I will die with him, and I am still not threatened by you." β
"You will. Zamuhe nodded, and said with a determined face: "I know, you will." β
"Why. Su Wen raised his eyebrows and said coldly,
"Because, I won't kill him. β
Zamuhe smiled, touched his bare chin, and said, "Killing him, isn't it useless, I want to keep him and torture him in front of you until you agree to marry me." Su Wen's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You are so vicious." Zamu closed his eyes and said: "Yes, I am vicious, since I was a child, haven't you always known it, if I am not vicious, how can I live until now, and wait until you marry me obediently." β
"It can't be done. Su Wen clenched his fists and said loudly: "Zamuhe, don't think I don't know what you think. β
"Oh, you know what I'm thinking. β
When Zamuhe heard this, his heart sank, and then he put on a nonchalant look, and said lazily: "Dear lady, what do you know?" β
"I know"
Su Wen turned his head, looked at the young man deeply, and said in a low voice: "Zamuhe, don't think I don't know, the reason why you want to marry me is not because you have such a person as me in your heart, you just want to use me." βγ
"Take advantage of you. β
Zamuhe snorted and said lightly: "Oh, you should tell me what I want to use of you." β
"Alchemy. β
Su Wen raised his head, looked directly into Zha Muhe's eyes, and said word by word: "Zha Muhe, the reason why you colluded with outsiders and rebelled against Tiandu Minghe is actually for my alchemy, isn't it, you are ambitious, I really am a fool, I don't know at all." β
"Do you know how to make alchemy, I already know this, and I can't talk about using it. "Zamuhe's expression remains unchanged, and he is still light and light.
"yes. β
Su Wen bowed slightly, and said: "It is indeed not a big deal to know how to refine the pill, especially in this world, most of the pills are medicines to improve cultivation and treat injuries, as long as the price is affordable, anyone can afford it, but there are two kinds of pills that are different." β
"Oh, let's hear it. "Zamuhedao,
"Do you really want to hear it? β
"Yes, I want to hear what you think as an alchemist. β
"Don't regret it. β
"No regrets. β
"Okay, listen. β
Su Wen pondered for a while, and said: "The two elixirs I said, the first is the best elixir, once you take it, you can soar in vain and live forever, and the second is the top-grade elixir, which is enough to change the muscles and bones, change the qualifications, these two elixirs, each of which is a priceless treasure that is hard to find and rare in the world, your idea is to hit these two elixirs." Zamuhe said: "Even if I want these two pills, so what, didn't you also say it, these two pills, both of which are rare things in the world, are they so easy to get." β
Su asked: "Yes, it is difficult to get these two elixirs, not to mention that I don't know where to find the best elixir, just the top-grade elixir is not so easy to find, but you have a way to do it once and for all." Zamuhe said: "What a way." β
"Alchemist. Su Wen snorted and said coldly,
"Alchemist, what do you mean by that? Zamuhe said: "Su asked, please explain it." β
"Okay, then I'll make it clear. β
Su Wen hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "To practice these two pills, there is an extremely slim hope, but there is a shortcut to take, and you are the shortcut to take." Zamuhe said: "What a shortcut." β
Su asked: "People in the world often collect materials by themselves and hand them over to the alchemists to refine, but firstly, the alchemists' alchemy techniques are uneven, and they may not be able to refine them at one time, which is really time-consuming; Zamuhe smiled: "This method is really good, but what is the use of me as an alchemist." β
"Then ask yourself. β
Su Wen snorted and said coldly: "Although Miao Jiazhai is good at refining corpses, after all, the Tao is not successful, and it is not the right path to immortality, although you are the master of Miaojiazhai, after all, you are insufficient, and with power, you want to live forever, so you hit me with your idea." Zamuhe said: "I still don't understand. Su asked: "Zamuhe, you don't pretend to be confused, the reason why you betrayed Tiandu Minghe, isn't it just to force me to obey, if my guess is right, you forced me to marry is fake, the real purpose is actually to get the pill I refined, so as to cultivate the avenue and pay for immortality, yes and no." β
"Yes, yes, you're right. β
When Zamuhe heard this, he praised the word "good" three times in a row, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Su Wen, you are really smart, you actually guessed my plan, but people who are too smart will not end well, and it seems that even you will not be an exception." β
"You want to kill people. Su Wen felt a pang in his heart and asked,
"yes. β
Zamuhe nodded, and said with a regretful face: "Originally, my plan was to betray Tiandu Minghe and marry you as my wife. As he spoke, Zha Muhe glanced at Wu Daozi, Li Yuanzong and the other three, and made a gesture of "killing the head", Wu Daozi and the other three understood, and slowly stepped forward.
"Wait. β
At this moment, Su Wen suddenly broke off and said loudly: "Zamuhe, don't be busy, I still have something to say." Hearing this, Zamuhe waved his hand, ordered the three of them to retreat, and said with a smile: "Su Wen, death is coming, what else do you have to say." β
"Of course, it's still important. β
Su Wen smiled slightly, stepped forward, and said, "Zamuhe, don't kill me, I'll obey you." β
"Oh, you're willing to submit to me. β
When Zamuhe heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said with a little curiosity: "Okay, tell me, what reason I have not to kill you." β
"I have three reasons. β
Su Wen raised three fingers and said: "First, you also know that I am one of the only few alchemy masters in this world, if I live, there must be value of use, if you kill me, there will be nothing, this is not in line with your original intention of rebelling against Tiandu Minghe and taking the opportunity to blackmail me." Zha Muhe smiled when he heard this, and said, "Yes, there are two other reasons." β
"Secondβ"
Su Wen glanced at the young man and said, "The reason why I am with him is not because I have affection for him, but because I want to use his ability to quell the rebellion in Miaojiazhai. Zamuhe laughed and asked, "What about the third." β
The third reason is simpler. β
Su Wen smiled slightly and said, "Zamuhe, I know that although you put on such a posture, you don't want to kill me. Zamuhe said: "How can you see it." Su asked: "The reason is very simple, if you want to kill me, as long as you kill him, I will naturally have only one way to die, but you don't, from this point of view, you actually don't want to kill me in your heart." β
"Wonderful, wonderful. β
When Zamuhe heard this, he applauded again and again, and said with a smile: "What a sharp-toothed and extremely smart girl, yes, I really don't want to kill you, wouldn't it be a pity to kill a talent like you." Su Wen sighed secretly and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment." β
Zha Muhe put away his smile and said: "This kid is too dangerous, if he is left behind, wouldn't it be equivalent to leaving a confidant in trouble, so let's do it" Speaking of this, Zha Muhe's tone suddenly changed, half joking and half serious: "Su Wen, between the two of you, there can only be one left, you say, do I kill you or kill him." As he spoke, the two eyes suddenly became cold, and if he wanted to, if he didn't mean to, he glanced at her,
"Kill him, of course. β
When Su Wen heard this, he replied without hesitation: "Wouldn't I be a big fool to exchange my life for his life." When the young man heard this, his heart was like a knife, and he shouted in a low voice: "Su asked." β
"Shut up. β
Su Wen shouted, hiding the panic in his heart, and turned around and said, "Zamuhe, please borrow my weapon to use." β
"Good. β
Zamuhe nodded, waved his big hand, and shouted: "Li Yuanzong, lend her your weapon to use." Li Yuanzong responded, untied his waist knife, held it with both hands, and said respectfully: "Girl, please." β
"No need. β
At this moment, the young man suddenly sneered and said lightly: "What's so difficult to take my surname, just don't let this knife stain my body." As he spoke, the young man struggled to get up, took out a pale cyan long sword from the talisman, and said with a smile: "Su Wen, as the saying goes: 'A gentleman breaks off friendship, and does not speak ill of me,' whether you treat me sincerely or falsely, I want to thank you, thank you for taking care of me during this time, this sword is called 'Tengjiao', it is the object of an old friend of mine, you can kill me with this sword." β
"Good. β
Su Wen took the Tengjiao sword and said expressionlessly: "You are a good person, it's a pity that you met me, and you will be reincarnated in the next life, remember to keep your eyes open, but don't want to be happy with others." When the young man heard this, he smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Thank you for the advice." β
"Let's hit the road. β
Su Wen raised the long sword, took a deep breath, raised his hand, and the tip of the sword suddenly gave birth to a light cyan sword, "snort", right in the chest of the young man, and then his wrist flicked, the long sword passed through his heart, and it didn't reach the handle, the young man grinned, and was pushed by Su Wen, "poof", and fell to the dust,
"Good, good, good kill. β
Seeing this, Zamuhe smiled, stretched out his hand and grabbed Su Wen's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good Su Wen, this is called 'the one who knows the times is Junjie', you killed this kid, it shows your sincerity, tomorrow night, I will marry you, haha, haha." After that, he stretched out his hand and touched Su Wen's face, laughing, Wu Daozi, Li Yuanzong and others were silent for a moment, and then followed, and the four figures disappeared at the end of the darkness for a while.
It's getting dark,
I don't know when, a waning moon broke through the thick clouds, stubbornly poked its head out of the western sky, and the cold moonlight silently sprinkled to the world, adding a little desolation to this ghostly world.
The moon is like a hook, the lonely sycamore deep courtyard locks the autumn,
For a long time, for a long time,
Su Wen suddenly sighed lightly, slowly sat down in place, looked at the lonely figure on the vast land, his eyes were red, and he shed tears in a daze.
"Big brother, big brother"
She leaned down and lay on the young man's body, tears rolling down uncontrollably, one by one,
And all of this fell into the eyes of Zamuhe and others not far away.
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth,
Sure enough, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get into her heart, didn't I,
Well, since you can't get her heart, you have to get her people,
He raised his fist and slammed it into the lattice,
For a long time, for a long time,
Su Wen finally stopped her tears, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she picked up the young man's body, looking at the lifelike face, her heart ached as if it were torn.
Countless past events emerge in front of me like a marquee: the first meeting, reunion, love, and everything promised to each other, so beautiful, but the end is so sad,
The rest of the shadow is the world, but the same life is not the same death,
She picked him up,
Just as at the beginning, that thrilling encounter, cautious, careful, as careful as a treasure, as if afraid that if he was not careful, he would be smashed to pieces, and he would never be able to get it back.
She took him in her arms, and walked alone in the wilderness,
The moonlight is like a waterfall, pulling up the figures of the two, like a cold sword, pulling it on the ground
Finally, she stopped,
This is a small, unknown mound,
The mound was bare, with neither flowers nor trees, but a bare bulging bag of earth, and between the bags of dirt were mixed with swarthy and scattered gravel, just like her cold, broken heart.
Finally, she let him go,
Silently, he knelt down on the mound,
Tears rolled down like beads, and a drop fell on his face,
She cupped his face,
"Big brother, you don't blame me, do you. β
She murmured, as if she was confiding in the young man, and whispered, "Don't worry, it won't be long before Zamuhe is free, and when the time comes, I will let you see with your own eyes how Zamuhe will fall." β
The young man in his arms closed his eyes tightly, like a sleeping child, and still had the purest smile on his face.
She hugged his face and kissed him slowly,
"Boom. β
A thunderclap exploded in my ears without warning, as if even the world was moved,
She put him down,
Suddenly-
Su Wen grabbed a touch of dirt and threw it out, on the uneven dirt, there was an extra hole the size of a fist, Su Wen snorted, his brows furrowed slightly, and he seemed to feel a slight pain,
But she didn't stop,
With just a breath, she once again reached deep into her hands and grabbed a handful of dirt mixed with sharp stones and broken bones
Grab it, throw it down,
Grab it, drop it
Gradually, the soil pit on the hill became larger, and the mud and sand mixed with sweat and blood drew a parabola in mid-air, and flew out far away, and Su Wen still kept digging.
Stones, worn out nails, she didn't stop;
The bones were shattered, piercing the skin, but she still didn't stop;
She's just mechanical, digging and throwing, like a tireless cow,
Hurt, tired, hurt,
But, so what,
These pains, these tiredness, these injuries, what are they?
Finally, the pit was dug,
She stood up, gasped for breath as if relieved, picked up the young man beside her, and walked towards the big pit she had dug step by step.
She stopped,
She put him down,
Seeing his body descend inch by inch, until he was buried in that fateful destination, her heart suddenly ached violently,
"Big brother, do you blame me? β
Looking at the pit with such a calm smile, she finally leaned down and whispered on the edge of the pit,
"No, I won't. β
In the pit, there seems to be a simple voice, that honest boy, whether you are to death, and you don't want to believe in the evil of people's surnames,
For a long time, for a long time,
She chuckled suddenly, and sang in a low voice:
"From the south came a flock of geese, there are also pairs and lonely, pairs of joyful loud voices, lonely left behind and can't fly, don't look at the pairs, only look at the loneliness, think carefully about your desolation, and I am the same, think carefully about your desolation, and I am the same. After singing, Su Wen turned his head sideways, the sleeves of his robe flicked, and a strong wind swept the yellow sand, and there was a loud sound, covering up the young man in the pit.
