Chapter 6: Solo Strings and Solo Songs
The moon usually appears early on the fifteenth night, and sometimes the sun has not yet set, and the sun is still bright, and the moon is already showing her face in the eastern sky. The same is true for this day. The fake Luo Gongchao was like the anxious moon, with a beard shaved off the main master's face sticking to his face, and appeared in front of the Penglai Hall in advance.
This three-storey palace is noisy in front of its doors. It seems that Jing Tianming is not the only one who is anxiously waiting to enter the door. All kinds of people with different accents paced in front of the Penglai Palace, occasionally looking up at the sky, complaining about why the sun had not yet set when they didn't know each other. When the night fell, people's wishes were finally granted, and the originally empty Penglai Palace Gate on the left side of the street was opened by the cooperation of eight cyan ghost faces.
The warm air, the enticing aroma of wine, and the melodious sound of music poured into the streets. Perhaps bewildered by this atmosphere, the people who had been waiting for a long time suddenly lost their voices and walked into the palace gate serenely. After stepping into the palace gate, you will be greeted by all kinds of treasures, such as coral, glass, amber, and clams...... No matter which direction Jing Tianming's head was swung in, there were treasures blocking his view. This magnificent battle, even Jing Tianming, who grew up in the Qin Palace, was surprised.
"It's dangerous. I almost forgot what I was here for. Sitting in Luo Gongchao's position, Jing Tianming reminded himself in his heart, "Cheer up. Don't be greedy for a cup later. Take a closer look at the ghost valley...... Huh, it's so fragrant, it's a few years of rice wine?" Jing Tianming twitched his nose and drank a few big wrists happily. I don't know when it becomes a good wine, the aroma of the wine overflows between the teeth, a little spicy, and soon turns to fresh sweetness, straight to the bones. He was about to pour it again, but the jar in front of him was empty. The cyan ghosts who shuttled around the guests to serve quickly put down another altar. When I looked up again, I saw that Hua Shengjiang, who was sitting not far away, was also drinking heartily. Liu Bi was through the mask, and he could still release a reproachful light from his eyes, and Jing Tianming and Hua Sheng put down the wine bowl.
"Huh, it's so fragrant, it's so fragrant. Just put down the wine bowl, Jing Tianming's nose smelled the aroma again, "It's weird, this smell is ...... Yes?" Jing Tianming couldn't help but turn his head to look at the place where the aroma wafted from. The palace gate of Penglai Hall was full of people, and it seemed that some distinguished guests had arrived. More than a dozen cyan ghost faces paved the way for the newly arrived guests.
As the strange fragrance became stronger and stronger, the sound of people's joy gradually came in from the palace gate. "It's beautiful. "I've never seen such a beautiful woman. "Is it a fairy?" "No wonder there are no beauties on the side, where can the vulgar fans in the world compare to others." 」
"How is it a woman?" It's been a month since he came to the Ghost Valley, and Jing Tianming hasn't seen any women yet. Hua Sheng Jiang also turned his head curiously to look.
Four richly dressed women cut through the crowd without twisting.
The woman who walked in the front was both proud and beautiful, and under the gaze of hundreds of men, she walked quickly to the second floor of the banquet. When she passed in front of the disguised Hua Shengjiang, Hua Shengjiang's eyes almost burst into flames. Although she hadn't seen her for many years, Hua Shengjiang still recognized her at a glance. If it weren't for her in this world, Lu Zhulang would not have cut himself. Hua Sheng stared at Bai Qianhong with itchy teeth in his heart.
Jing Tianming looked at the woman walking behind Bai Qianhong with round eyes. "It's Ah Yue!" If Liu Bi hadn't kicked him in time, Jing Tianming would have almost screamed out in a hurry.
Ke Yue walked behind Bai Qianhong. She is usually dressed plainly, but today she looks particularly gorgeous, the pearl treasure jade hairpin is emerald green, and the beauty of Keyue is set off in the capital. But in Jing Tianming's eyes, Ke Yue shouldn't have brought these jewelry at all, they made her face even more haggard. Although walking in the crowd, Jing Tianming felt that Ke Yue's eyes didn't know where to look, and his mind didn't know where to go.
"It's her. It's really her. As Ke Yue walked past him, Jing Tianming felt a heavy blow like lightning strikes, "Why is she here?"
As if to give Jing Tianming an answer, two familiar figures followed Ke Yue and swept in front of him.
"The Moon God is broken...... And Aunt Duanmu......
Jing Tianming's eyes lit up, and he speculated, "Why are they here? Why are they with Bai Qianhong? By the way, it must be Aunt Duanmu who caught the people of Guigu to blackmail Ah Yue. Is this moon god broken...... She...... She is also a member of the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital. Yes, yes, Ah Yue, as the head of the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital, must not be able to leave them alone. 」
Bai Qianhong and Keyue are obviously frequent guests at the night banquet in Penglai Palace. I saw the four of her lotus steps move lightly, without saying a word in the noisy discussion of everyone, and walked into the banquet specially set up for the four of them in the flower hall on the second floor. After the four of them were seated, their exclusive waiters slowly lowered several curtains in the south, east, and west of the flower hall, blocking everyone's curious eyes.
Bai Qianhong let out a shallow laugh and chatted with Duanmu Rong and Wu Xuan. Duanmu Rong's voice eating was still so loud. Ke Yue, she was laughing too.
Obviously, his eyes couldn't penetrate, but Jing Tianming reluctantly looked at the curtains in the flower hall that blocked him and Keyue. Liu Bi was different, he stared closely at the guests who were following behind Bai Qianhong and the others. Several guests who didn't know each other at all walked in, including Wen and Wu, and they took their seats one after another. Liu Bi wrote down their characteristics and appearances one by one.
Walking at the end of this group was an old man with a fairy wind.
Seeing this old man made Hua Sheng believe for the first time that there might really be gods in this world. Because he and Liu Bi have never seen a person who can live to this age.
After all, he was more than 100 years old, and his age made the old man's stature curl up a little, but he could still see that he was originally a very tall person. A long face. His hair is white, his face is white, and his face is withered. There was almost no flesh left on his hands and arms, like a human skeleton walking with a robe in his pocket, and he walked lightly into the banquet set up in the silver and bronze hall on the third floor.
Obviously, there is no vitality at all, but he is living well. This is the first impression left by General Hua Shengjiang and Liu Bi when they see this old man.
"This is probably the Lord of the Ghost Valley?"
"** Not far from ten. He should be the Fang Shang in the mouth of the disciples of Guigu. Liu Bi and Hua Sheng kept exchanging glances. Many of the guests who attended the night banquet brought wine glasses and bowls to the silver and bronze hall on the third floor to toast.
The silver and bronze hall is like a pavilion built on the surface of the lake, there are no walls on all sides, the whole hall is made of pure red copper, not mixed with a little wood color, and the extremely fine silver turns into all kinds of flying beasts interspersed in the meantime.
The lord of the Guigu Valley sat alone in the silver and bronze hall, and did not say anything to those who came to toast, but a thousand cups of wine seemed to be dry without getting drunk. As long as Fang Shang drank his own toast, the disciples of Guigu who went to toast were full of joy, and they seemed to have received some great glory.
Liu Bi and General Hua Sheng also wanted to go to the Silver and Bronze Hall to take a closer look, but they were afraid of revealing the stuffing. Although I don't know what the strength of the Guigu Fang is, but if you can command thousands of people and horses in the Guigu, your martial arts must be very good. Liu Bi repeatedly glanced at Jing Tianming and asked him to test Fang Shang. Helplessly, since Ke Yue came to this Penglai Palace, Jing Tianming's eyes and mood have never left the flower hall on the second floor. Even the valley master of the Ghost Valley, he didn't take a few more looks.
"What are you doing?" Liu Bi finally couldn't hold his breath, and walked to Jing Tianming's side while everyone was toasting, and said in a low voice, "Don't look at Duanmu Rong and Keyue anymore. You are out of shape like this, be careful to be seen by others. Liu Bi saw that Jing Tianming didn't seem to hear his words, and he couldn't wait to twist his head with brute force to look at him.
"You're blocking me. Listening to the voice, there seemed to be some movement in the flower hall on the second floor, Jing Tianming protested to Liu Bi, who was blocking him with his body. Sure enough, the curtain on the north side of the flower hall was lifted, and four women rushed out, looking at them as if they were planning to leave early.
"Lao Luo, you're drunk. Don't stand up, sit down, sit down!" Liu Bi called Jing Tianming's pseudonym, pretending to act, and the corners of his mouth lowered his voice to remind Jing Tianming: "You must not go with you! Look at the Guigu disciples who came to participate in this banquet, which one of them was willing to leave early?"
Jing Tianming knew in his heart that Liu Bi was reasonable, but he had waited for Keyue for so long in the Nine Houses, and now he finally met again. If you don't catch up, who knows where Ke Yue will disappear later, and when will you see her again?
Jing Tianming leaned out of the window and looked downstairs, only to see Keyue and the others had walked out of the Penglai Palace.
"Liu Bi, I'm sorry. Jing Tianming said this softly in Liu Bi's ear, and at the same time, he stretched out his hand and pushed Liu Bi's back. Liu Bi only felt a strong force pushing himself up in the air, and the whole person flew backwards helplessly, falling on the table of Hua Shengjiang's table tennis, and the drinks and dishes were suddenly scattered on the ground. When everyone turned their heads to look at Liu Bi, Jing Tianming turned around and jumped out of the window, and the whole person silently disappeared into the dark night outside Penglai Palace.
Jing Tianming came down late, and the four women were nowhere to be seen. If it weren't for the fact that a gust of north wind happened to blow later, sending that magical fragrance to Jing Tianming's nose again, he would probably have left the Penglai Palace for nothing.
The four girls were still led by Bai Qianhong, and walked all the way to the north, looking at their familiar appearance, they should have walked many times. Duanmu Rong was full of wine and food, and he looked very happy. Wu Duan is still cold-hearted and cold-faced. Bai Qianhong and Ke Yue occasionally talked about a sentence or two, but they were all inconsequential topics.
From the Penglai Hall to the north out of more than two miles, on the bluestone avenue to the east. Soon after the four girls turned to the east, they suddenly left the avenue and got into a rocky hill at the foot of the fairy mountain on the right. There are many strange stones here, the big ones are like giant statues, and the small ones are like sea mussels. There are those who are artificially carved and chiseled, and there are also natural rough stones. There seems to be no road in the stone hill, if it weren't for the four girls walking in front, outsiders would be afraid that it would be difficult to find.
"No wonder I can't find Ah Yue no matter how I look for it, could it be that she has been hiding behind this stone formation all these days?" Jing Tianming cautiously followed as he jumped on a boulder beside him in an attempt to get a glimpse of the whole picture. But this stone hill covers a wide area, and it is night at this time, although the fifteenth moon shines, it is still difficult to see the whole stone henge clearly. Jing Tianming was in the middle of the formation, and he only felt that the stone formation was winding in front and back, like a giant dragon extending with its claws. Jing Tianming secretly made a mark along the road.
"Come out, who are you, why are you following us?" Suddenly, two pretty figures flashed up to the stone statue and asked. After being discovered, Jing Tianming had no choice but to walk out from behind the stone statue where he was hiding. Bai Qianhong closed the blood mandarin duck knife in her hand, standing beside Ke Yue, and Duanmu Rong and Wu Duan disappeared without a trace.
"Look at your sneaky look. Ke Yue looked Jing Tianming up and down, and under the moonlight, he saw a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old, with a face like a wooden plank, a little convex where it should be, a little concave where it should be, and nothing peculiar at all.
"I...... I...... I'm ...... You ......" Jing Tian was already nervous when he followed Ke Yue secretly, but at this time, she was caught red-handed, and she was dumbfounded for a while, not knowing what to say, not pretending to be sluggish.
"Ke Yue, you said that he was the one who followed all the way from outside Penglai Palace?" Bai Qianhong turned her head to ask Ke Yue, as if she didn't believe it in her words.
"He must be right. Ke Yue was originally very sure, but for some reason when she saw the dignity of "Luo Gongchao" at this time, even she herself doubted, the martial arts of this obscene person in front of her were really as good as she had noticed before, or did she mistake him with others?
"I...... I...... You ......."
"Don't me, don't me!" Bai Qianhong raised her knife and said, "If you don't say what you mean, we won't have time to spend it with you." 」
"I don't mean anything else, I'm just following Ah Yue, I don't want to do anything, as long as I can follow Ah Yue. If he was honest, Jing Tianming would have liked to say so. But at the beginning, after being frightened by Ke Yue's capture alive, he found that neither Bai Qianhong nor Ke Yue recognized who he was. Only then did I remember that he was not Jing Tianming, the honest and braggart Lao Luo now.
"Ahem, ahem. Luo Gongchao coughed twice, moistened his throat so that he could pretend to be someone else's voice, and twisted and said, "Two girls...... Cough...... I...... I...... That's ......."
"Why are you following us?" asked Keyue.
"The girl's words are wrong, the old man is not following you. 」
"Nonsense! You obviously came all the way from Penglai Palace, and you still want to quibble?"
"No, no, no. Luo Gongchao shook his head and said, "I did follow all the way, yes, the girl's martial arts are really high, and she can hear the old man's movements clearly." I mean, I'm not stalking you, I'm stalking her. Luo Gongchao waved his finger and pointed at Bai Qianhong who was standing beside Ke Yue.
"Stalking me?" Bai Qianhong asked, "What are you doing with me, old man? I don't recognize you." 」
"Ahh That's it, I ...... I...... More than eight years ago in Guiling City, I had the privilege of seeing the girl a few times, and I also knew that I was not worthy," although his face was speaking to Bai Qianhong, Jing Tianming's eyes unconsciously looked at Ke Yue, "I really fell in love with the girl at first sight, and then ...... It's hard to forget. Over the years, I've ...... I...... I'm living like a year. The girl's countenance has not left my heart for a day or a moment. Because of this, after seeing the girl again in Penglai Hall today, I ...... Alas, I really couldn't control my feet, so I followed the white girl like this. 」
Bai Qianhong and Ke Yue listened to Luo Gongchao's true confession, looked at each other in surprise, and both burst out laughing.
"I see, then you should know that I married my husband Wei Zhuang eight years ago, and you should call me Mrs. Wei. Bai Qianhong had long been accustomed to all kinds of men's admiration for her, but when she heard Luo Gongchao, a half-hundred-year-old nerd, recklessly say such things, she couldn't help but feel funny.
Ke Yue laughed, not knowing what to think, her smile immediately condensed, and her face was as cold as frost. "What now?"
"Let him go. It's been a long time since I've laughed so well. Bai Qianhong, dressed as a young woman, waved her hand, turned around and walked towards the back of the stone hill, and instructed Ke Yue, "Take him out of the stone formation, lest this old fool get lost, and in the end it will be a dead end." I'll follow them first. 」
Ke Yue nodded, not refuting Bai Qianhong's arrangement. When Bai Qianhong's figure disappeared into the stone formation, Ke Yue stood for a while, and then waved her hand and said to Luo Gongchao, "Follow me, I'll take you out." Luo Gongchao walked behind Ke Yue as he said, deliberately pretending to be bad at martial arts and slowly followed.
"The girl seems to have something on her mind. After walking for a while, Luo Gongchao suddenly asked.
"Why do I say that?"
"The old man has lived to this age, can't the girls see if they have anything on their minds?"
Keyue nodded at first, then smiled again, "Yes, I can see that. Then why can't you see that Madame Wei will never like you?"
"The girl laughs so beautifully. Luo Gongchao praised sincerely for a while, and then he was full of nonsense, "Of course I know that Mrs. Wei is absolutely impossible. But what's the solution? If you like it, you like it. 」
"yes. Ke Yue said quietly, "If you like it, you like it, and there is no way to do it. 」
"There's no way around it. Luo Gongchao nodded loudly.
"Why! Ahead is the bluestone avenue. I won't send it. Ke Yue said, pointing ahead.
"Yes, yes. The old man can walk on his own. 」
"Don't come again. No matter how much you like Mrs. Wei. Trespassing here will kill you. 」
"Huh. Luo Gongchao laughed a few times, "Those who should come must come, if you can take a few more looks, it's worth it." 」
"You're so stupid. Ke Yue took a few steps, turned her head and asked, "By the way, what's your name?"
"In Xia Luo Gongchao. 」
"Luo Gongchao. Keyue repeated, "You're having fun. Luo Gongchao, if you are free, tomorrow afternoon, we will be in Penglai for a while, how about it?"
Jing Tianming never thought that Ke Yue would actually open his mouth to invite him, oh, it was to invite Lao Luo. "Who does it matter who she's dating with? Thinking about it like this, Zheng Ren suddenly became a little fluttery. At this time, if anyone sees this half-hundred strong men jumping and humming all the way back, they will definitely laugh.
It was nearly late at night when I returned to Liu Bi and the others' accommodation. Jing Tianming was full of apologies for leaving Liu Bi and Hua Shengjiang in Penglai Hall tonight. Seeing Liu Bi squatting alone by the water tank outside the house to wash, he immediately stepped forward to apologize.
Liu has always loved cleanliness all his life, and at this time, for some reason, he scrubbed his hands hard, and took the trouble to wash them again and again. "What are you washing, so hard to wash?" Jing Tianming said loudly behind Liu Bi.
Liu Bi looked back, his face was full of horror, and shouted, "Ghost, there is a ghost!" Liu Bi turned around and wanted to escape, but was pulled by Jing Tianming from behind.
"What the hell? Liu Bi, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm Tianming. 」
"It's dawn. Liu Bi was stunned and stammered a little, "Yes, it's Tianming, you have changed your face, why did I forget?"
"Really. Jing Tianming laughed softly, "Since I was a child, I have rarely seen you shouting like this, it really scares me." What are you doing here?" Jing Tianming looked at Liu Bi carefully, Liu Bi was obviously clean and plain all over his body, but Jing Tianming smelled a strong smell of blood coming from him.
"Are you hurt?"
"Nope. Liu Bi replied in a stiff tone.
"Don't lie to me, I smell blood. 」
"Does it still smell?" Liu Bi raised his right hand to sniff it under his nose, and frowned, "It's really hard to wash off." With that, he crouched back to the water tank and continued to wash his hands.
"Should you ......" Jing Tianming suddenly understood, rushed to the place where Lao Luo was imprisoned to take a look, and saw that the real Luo Gongchao had already collapsed in a pool of blood. A wave of anger rushed up, Jing Tianming ran to Liu Bi's side and asked, "Why did you kill Lao Luo? I promised him that I would let him go after the banquet in Penglai Hall tonight!"
"So, I'm here for you. Liu Bi said quietly, "You are the benevolence of a woman. Letting this man go would only reveal our whereabouts. 」
"Say me?" Jing Tianming said loudly, "You killed an innocent person like Luo Gongchao, if you have a clear conscience, you saw my face just now......" Jing Tianming pointed to the delicate old Luo mask covering his face, "Why are you frightened? Why do you think that a ghost has come to ask you for your life?"
"What innocent person? He's a disciple of Guigu. Didn't you see that he had a ghost face tattoo on his body?"
"What if it's a disciple of the Ghost Valley? There are nearly 10,000 people from the Ghost Valley here? Can you kill all of these thousands of people, whether they are good or evil, innocent or not?" Facing Jing Tianming's questioning, Liu Bi did not speak, obviously acquiescing. "You...... You ......" Jing Tianming was angry, "Liu Bi, you have really changed, and I don't even know if I know you anymore?"
"You've just changed. Not to be outdone, Liu Bi said, "Obviously, tonight, you and I saw with our own eyes that the demon girl of Keyue was willing to be a lackey of the Ghost Valley. But I don't have to ask, I know that you still have to protect Keyue and say that she is innocent, right?"
What Jing Tianming thought in his heart was said by Liu Bi, which only added to his anger. "She was innocent in the first place!" Jing Tianming was completely out of shape at this point, and shouted loudly, "How can you suspect your friend? How can you suspect Ah Yue?
"Don't yell at me with that face!" Liu Bi rushed forward and removed the mask from Jing Tianming's face. The two scuffled while scolding, Jing Tianming and Liu Bi didn't use martial arts, they just pulled like they did when they were children, rolled to the ground and kicked and hit each other.
"What are you doing here, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the people of Ghost Valley?" With a woman's chuckle, Song Xieshan stood beside the two and asked suspiciously.
"Hey-Brother Jing, Brother Liu, really, look at you rolling all over in mud. Xin Yanyan hid her face and smiled.
Jing Tianming let go of Liu Bi, and Liu Bi pushed Jing Tianming away. The two patted the dust on their bodies and stood up. "Yan'er, why are you here?"
"Jing Daxia is really childlike. Lu Yuanding half-jokingly said on the side: "Why do you only see my little junior sister? Don't you see me and Fang Dajuzi standing here?" It turned out that Song Xieshan's injuries were just better, so he was in a hurry to pick up Fang Gengxian and Lu Yuanding, who were supposed to meet him a few days ago. I don't know why Xin Yanyan was also with them, so naturally she had to come together. These two people came at this time, representing Confucianism, Mojia, Qingxiao faction, and Bagua Gate, and now the four decent people in the martial arts are here. Jing Tianming and Liu Biqing knew that everyone must have something important to discuss, and although their anger was not extinguished, they only glared at each other, and then followed Fang Gengxie, Song Xieshan and others into the house together.
"I see. Fang Geng tearfully sorted out the information collected by everyone here, and said, "I was surprised enough to hear Brother Hua Sheng say that there is a mountain city here. I really didn't expect that the mountain in the middle of the city was actually hollowed out!"
"That's right, I thought it was incredible at first, but after a few explorations, the immortal mountain city of Guigu is in the shape of a hollow word. The □ word outside the word is the city wall, and the word inside is this fairy mountain. Song Xieshan nodded, and simply drew a pattern on the ground, "As far as I know, the real important place of the Ghost Valley is in this mountain. At first glance, this mountain is no different from other mountains, but it has actually been hollowed out a long time ago, so it must be very large. 」
"How do I get in?"
"There are two tunnels to the east, south, west, and north. 」
"This ......" Fang Geng tilted his head with tears in his eyes, and asked slowly, "How did Song Daxia know?"
"I secretly followed my master, and then I knew that there was a tunnel hidden in the city. When Song Xieshan spoke, the words were like a knife, "My master...... Master, his old man...... Alas, it turned out that he was in a high position in the Ghost Valley and was the protector of the Ghost Valley. Many years ago, it was Zhao ...... My master and his old man went to pick up the invitation and came to the Ghost Valley to serve him. When Jing Tianming heard this, he suddenly realized that the person in the Ghost Valley who was in Shandong at that time to force Wu to kill Ah Yue was actually Zhao Nanyang. No wonder Zhao Nanyang later shielded Ziyu and slandered Ah Yue with her for poisoning Gai Lan, obviously because he was afraid that Ah Yue would recognize him. There is such a move.
"And ...... And also...... I really don't know how to speak. Brother Jing, I'm sorry for you. Song Xieshan felt guilty, as if the bad things that came out of his mouth were all done by him, not Zhao Nanyang's crimes. "Your master Gai Nie Gai Daxia...... "How is my master?" "It was also killed by my master." Thinking of Gai Nie's tragic death, Jing Tianming couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, "Song Daxia, do you know why your master wants to kill my master?" Song Xieshan's tone was quite melancholy, and he said, "The so-called one mountain does not allow two tigers. I also learned later that my master wanted to be the first person in the world...... I really don't understand ......."
"I sent someone to find out that your master and he have been in contact with each other outside in the past few days, running around in the Fengqimen, Huaishui Gang and other tasks. Lu Yuanding said, "In addition, Zuo Twelve and Zuo Bixing did not hesitate to join forces in an attempt to kill Song Daxia. Could it be ...... Zuo Bixing got Zhao Nanyang's approval, so he dared to attack Song Daxia directly?"
"You mean...... My master, his old man is going to kill me?" asked Slack Three incredulously.
"So far. Fang Geng looked at the injury on Song Xieshan's leg with tears in his eyes, and sighed deeply, "It seems that the respected teacher Zhao Nanyang and Zhao Daxia are by no means decent people, it's a pity, it's a pity. Fang Geng's face was heavy with tears, so he changed the topic and asked, "The Ghost Valley is so carefully planned, what is hidden in the mountains? 」
"Whatever the secret is, it must have something to do with the mystery of the white jade. Liu Bi said angrily. took the opportunity to glare at Jing Tianming again, "Fortunately, the white jade on Aunt Xin's body is still there, otherwise I don't know what will happen." 」
"The white jade is no longer in my hand. Ke Yue took it. Xin Yanyan said coldly. She glanced at Jing Tianming, as if she wanted to say something more, but after all, she just sighed and turned her head away in confusion.
Xin Yanyan still remembers very clearly, that night the fragrance of flowers was strong, and the air was filled with a sweet and intoxicating fragrance, when she was lying on the bed in a daze, she still thought in her mind: "I don't know what flowers are planted in this inn, and they smell so good, I will have to ask the boss tomorrow." Alas, I will be able to return to Bagua Gate in another day, but I am even farther away from Brother Jing. I wonder if Brother Jing is still with Na Keyue, I wonder if he thinks of me as much as I do, and he occasionally thinks of me?" She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep as if she were paralyzed in the thick fragrance. In the middle of the night, I was suddenly awakened by another refreshing fragrance.
Before opening her eyes, Xin Yanyan first realized that there was light in the room, and she couldn't remember for a while whether she had forgotten to blow out the candle before going to bed?
Xin Yanyan hurriedly got up in shock, and then lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but suddenly felt cold. Only then did she realize that she was naked from head to toe. Xin Yanyan sighed, quickly grabbed the quilt to cover her body, and was about to raise her voice to shout, thinking about it and feeling wrong, she couldn't help but shrink on the bed with a flushed face, and was afraid and shocked in her heart: "This demon girl has obtained the white jade but does not leave, and deliberately takes my clothes away without taking my life, I really don't know what vicious tricks she intends to use to humiliate me?" She knew that her martial arts were far inferior to Ke Yue, so she was at a loss for a while, so she could only pull the quilt tightly and scolded in her mouth: " Keyue, I advise you to kill me with a knife as soon as possible, otherwise, I will repay my hatred for insulting me today!"
Ke Yue continued to play with the white jade in her hand, her eyes were still staring at the candle flame, her mind drifted far away, and she didn't pay attention to Xin Yanyan's words, but said lightly: "It's okay to take off your clothes, why are you angry like this?" How did I find this piece of white jade that you could tie around your waist? Don't worry, I didn't show it to anyone but me. 」
Xin Yanyan snorted, glared at Ke Yue and asked, "What about Brother Jing? Isn't he with you? What did you do to him?"
The white jade stopped flipping in Keyue's palm. Ke Yue's eyes moved from the candle flame on the table to her own palm. She slowly retracted her slender jade hand and gently held the white jade. "Miss Xin, how did you and Jing Tianming meet?" Xin Yanyan didn't expect Ke Yue to suddenly ask. Instead, he was stunned. Ke Yue said, "If you don't say anything, I'll throw you out into the courtyard and shout for the others to come and save you. 」
"You ......" Xin Yanyan has never heard of someone using "calling someone else to save you" as a means of coercion, but this method is extremely effective at this time, if the brothers and sisters of the Bagua Gate and the irrelevant guests in the inn see their own appearance, Xin Yanyan would really rather be killed by Ke Yue's sword. How did she know that Ke Yue had already put incense in this point, and everyone slept more heavily than dead, and it was definitely not a few loud shouts that could wake up. If Xin Yanyan hadn't smelled the sweet aroma in the sachet on Ke Yue's body, she would have solved the "drunken desire", but I was afraid that even if she was really thrown into the yard by Ke Yue, she would still sleep soundly and sweetly.
Xin Yanyan scolded: "Ke Yue, you are also the head of a faction, how can you act so shamelessly!" "Why don't you take on the name of a demon girl?" "How do I meet Brother Jing, what does it matter to you?" "It seems that you don't want to say it?" Okay. Come on...... "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I'm ...... Hum...... Just say it!" "It's not a big deal, what's not to say?"
Xin Yanyan glared at Ke Yue fiercely, and said reluctantly: "In order to escape the pursuit of the Ghost Valley, we fell into the trap of Shu Baiyu in a stone house, and Brother Jing happened to be there and saved ten of our lives. It's strange, since you are in the same breath as Guigu, how can you not know about this?"
"Well, it turned out to be just a coincidence. Ke Yue said quietly, and asked, "And then?"
"Then, in order to lure away the people of Guigu, he took me on another journey, although he killed Liu Daimei, he was also injured by the secret weapon of Shu Baiyu. 」
"His martial arts are so good, how could Shu Baiyu hurt him?" Ke Yue seemed to be talking to Xin Yanyan, and seemed to be talking to herself, "Yes. He must have been injured to protect you...... Is he badly wounded?"
"He was not lightly injured, but he couldn't rest for a while, and in order to get rid of the pursuers, he was wounded himself, and he was still ...... It's hard to ......" Xin Yanyan's cheeks were dizzy, her voice gradually lowered, and she was finally embarrassed to say the sentence "Hold me in your arms", and said instead: "Pull me away...... At that time, the heavy snow had just stopped, and the surroundings were so quiet and quiet, and then the sky gradually brightened......" Unconsciously, Xin Yanyan returned to the sweetest past in her life in her narrative. She said how Jing Tianming was called by different people by different names on the street. He also said how he changed from a homeless man to a beautiful son in a broken temple. 「...... Unexpectedly, not only in the ruined temple, but also in the beggars in the whole town, regardless of age, each called him big brother. 」
"Yes? He likes to be friends with beggars. 」
"Later, I learned that no matter where Brother Jing was, there was a bunch of beggar brothers. Everything about Jing Tianming is what Xin Yanyan wants to tell people in detail, but no one has anything to say. All the details are full of aftertaste and aftertaste for her, and for a while, she forgot that Ke Yue, who was sitting next to her, was the enemy in the rivers and lakes, and the enemy in the love field. Xin Yanyan said it very well, and Ke Yue actually listened to it very well. The story begins with Xin Yanyan describing how she helped Jing Tianming pull out the hidden weapon, hearing the beggar tell the story of a teenager's death, until they left the town later, met four mischievous children, told them all the way, passed through various towns, and finally arrived in Xianyang.
"Brother Jing was actually in the restaurant, desperately throwing money at the singers and dancers on the stage, and I was ...... in a fit of anger."
"That's enough. After listening to it for a long time, Ke Yue suddenly planned Xin Yanyan's memories, and Ke Yue knew everything that happened later.
Xin Yanyan was suddenly truncated when he said this, and looked at Keyue a little at a loss, Jian Keyue lowered his face and didn't know how to look forward, Xin Yanyan realized that he was falling into the hands of thieves at the moment, and couldn't help but hug the quilt tightly in fear and caution.
In fact, Ke Yue was thinking about how to say a word. She lowered her head and was silent for a while, and finally asked, "You guys...... You were living in the same room at that time, were you already ...... It's ......."
Xin Yanyan was puzzled for a long time before she realized what Ke Yue was asking, and suddenly blushed and said, "The sky between me and Brother Jing is clear, so there is no ...... There is no ......."
"Yes, but you have been living in one room for a month or two in a row, alone men and women, how can you not have ...... There is no ......."
"That's just to hide people's eyes! Brother Jing is a righteous man and a gentleman, and I, Xin Yanyan, am not a frivolous person, so we won't ...... I won't ......."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"Really?"
"It's true!"
「......」
Although Ke Yue's face was buried in the shadows, Xin Yanyan felt as if she could feel Ke Yue's relief. She stared at Ke Yue, who bowed her head and was silent, and suddenly realized something, although she was a little incredulous, she still couldn't help but ask, "Ke Yue...... Could it be that you stayed and didn't leave, just to ask this?"
"Smack!" Ke Yue suddenly reached out and struck on the table, raised her head and glared at Xin Yanyan coldly.
Unexpectedly, in this way, Xin Yanyan saw Ke Yue's heart more clearly. She suddenly understood, it turned out that over the years, Ke Yue had also been unforgettable with Jing Tianming's old feelings. A burst of melancholy swept through Xin Yanyan's heart, but she quickly forgot about herself and thought about Jing Tianming. Xin Yanyan seemed to have seized a glimmer of opportunity, and said to the woman in front of her expectantly and sincerely: "Keyue, Brother Jing has been living incognito and depressed for so many years, just because Jing Tianming was spurned by others, and now he has finally become a chivalrous man, if you really like him. ......" "Who said I liked him anymore?" "If you really like him." But don't let him ...... because of you" "How about becoming a friend of a cult witch and being looked down upon again?"
Xin Yanyan looked back at Ke Yue's gaze without fear, "That's right!"
Keyue slowly stood up, "That's a bold answer. What do you know about the daughter of the head of the dignified gossip sect? Have you ever been hungry or cold in your life? Do you know what it means to be down-and-out?" Although Ke Yue didn't show any expression on her face, each of these questions was like a knife slashing back at herself, "Have you ever been homeless? Have you ever been despised by others? Does your father and mother don't want you? Do your friends turn swords against you? The person you trust the most has abandoned you and doesn't want to look at you? What do you know? and what do you know?"
Xin Yanyan looked at Ke Yue very calmly and said, "I really don't know. But I believe that no matter what grievances and pains you have suffered, Brother Jing will experience it as if he has experienced it himself, and he has suffered with you. 」
Ke Yue shook as if she had been hit hard, and she looked at Xin Yanyan in a daze, silent for a long time.
In that silence, like a light rain falling to the ground, there was a faint sound of footsteps on the roof, Xin Yanyan didn't hear it, Ke Yue already knew that it was the people from the Ghost Valley who had found Xin Yanyan. As soon as she left Jing Tianming and Granny Jiang, she rode the mud and nectar all night, and ran on her mount, so that she was able to stop Xin Yanyan and his party before the people and horses in Guigu.
The sound of broken footsteps soon spread all over the roof tiles on all sides, and fifty or sixty people came to meet them. Ke Yue looked at Xin Yanyan quietly.
"Miss Xin, you really like Jing Tianming, don't you?"
Xin Yanyan pulled up a somewhat sad smile and replied, "That's right, I like Brother Jing very much. Even though I know that he has someone else in his heart all along, even though that person is standing in front of me right now, he may well take my life at any moment. Even so, I, Xin Yanyan, still like Jing Tianming. 」
Ke Yue clenched the white jade in her palm. She originally felt resentful of Jing Tianming and jealous of Xin Yanyan, but now she suddenly felt that if Jing Tianming was with her, he should be very happy, right?
For Ke Yue, she has more than Jing Tianming, more than her own past grievances. The relationship between men and women is important. Ke Yue took the white jade in his hand into his arms, and used this action to put all his emotions into the gold coins again. This action was all too familiar to her, and in just a moment, Ke Yue's expression had returned to indifference.
"You're quite right. I'm a cult witch, Jing Tianming had better stop having anything to do with me, and I'm ...... I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. 」
After saying these words, Ke Yue turned and walked out of the room. Xin Yanyan saw her close the door again, and heard her say loudly outside the door, "This white jade was originally my Keyue's thing, and now I take it away and it can be regarded as returning it to its original owner. Xin Yanyan, don't blame me for being ruthless just now, if you want to blame you, you can only blame yourself for not being able to do it. Xin Yanyan only felt stunned at the time, she didn't understand why Ke Yue deliberately attracted attention, but she faintly felt in her heart that this cult demon girl seemed to be not as bad as everyone thought.
Liu Bi and the others didn't know that so many thoughts had turned in Xin Yanyan's mind, so they only continued to deduce: "That is the case, then Keyue...... No, Guigu has already collected all the white jade?"
"I'm afraid. Lu Yuanding said, "If you can know the function of these white jades, then it would be good. Xin Yanyan glanced at Jing Tianming, and Jing Tianming also thought that there was nothing to hide from these people, so he roughly explained the reason for the white jade that Ma Liang said. Only then did everyone know that behind these five pieces of white jade, there was a mastery of the great master of the Yin and Yang family, Feng Puzi.
"No wonder. This can explain why Mu Rong came here four or five years ago, and why Guigu must cooperate with the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital!" Liu Bi clapped his hands and said, "It must be to crack Feng Puzi's mastery hidden in the plum blossom black box. 」
"Divine Doctor Duanmu Rong and Moon God Wu Xuan," Fang Geng tearfully said, "Both of them are the descendants of Feng Puzi, and their skills are already so strong, I really don't know what Feng Puzi's predecessors have hidden in the plum blossom black box?
"So what?" Liu Bitie's face turned blue, "Didn't you tell me Bai Yu's secret either?"
"White jade is nothing but an object. Jing Tianming roared, "Aunt Duanmu is human. How can it be the same as the people who have watched us grow up?"
"You weren't honest, and I didn't tell you. What's the difference?" Liu Bi also yelled back unceremoniously, "If you have the ability, don't yell at me here!Go and prove Keyue's innocence!Ask her to explain to everyone!" Liu Bi's words were full of sarcasm, "Let's explain to everyone, how did she knock me down with Miss Gossip Menxin? How did she accidentally pick up the white fish jade pendant? How did she accidentally hand it over to the Guigu Valley Lord? Can she still be a decent person?"
"You ......"
Song Xieshan and the others saw that Jing Tianming and Liu Bi grabbed each other, and it seemed that they were about to fight again, so they hurriedly spoke to stop them. "Alright, alright, it's all my own. What's more, aren't you brothers with different surnames who grew up together? What's the ambiguity, wouldn't it be good if everyone said it?" In the face of everyone's bitter persuasion, Jing Tianming and Liu Bi turned their heads away, and no one refused to bow their heads. Fang was helpless, so he had to say, "It's late at night, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow." 」
