Pity Yingxue said: "My mother's temperament changed greatly because of some things, and she had a grudge with many heroes in those days, and then she was forced to live in seclusion in the Star River Valley, when I was still young, my mother was afraid that I would be implicated, so she sent me to a family outside the valley for foster care. ”

"And she herself quietly came to visit me every year to teach me martial arts and medical skills, when my mother first entered the Star River Valley, there were many enemies to find revenge, thanks to your master, that is, Uncle Xuan Zhen Shi came forward to help, her mother was not harmed by the enemy, and then her mother lived in seclusion in the Star River Valley and recovered a lot, and by chance she saved Chu Shibo, the son of Tianyuan, who was injured by the enemy's plot. ”

"Chu Shibo is also tired of the endless fight between you and me in the martial arts, although the injury was cured by my mother, but did not go out of the valley to find the enemy to take revenge, but lived in seclusion with my mother in the Star River Valley, Chu Shibo He has superb martial arts and secret weapon kung fu in the past and the present, with the protection of him and Uncle Xuan Zhen, my mother's enemies gradually did not dare to go to the Star River Valley to find my mother's trouble, and then Han Guangjie Han Shishu also lived in seclusion in the Star River Valley, and became good friends with Chu Shibo and my mother. ”

"Before my mother died, she was afraid that her enemies would come to me for trouble after her death, so she asked Han Shibo to help me dress up as her and become the new ghost third aunt. ”

Xiao Yao didn't expect that Pian Yingxue would have such a miserable life experience, she couldn't see her since she was a child, and although she still had a mother, she could only see her mother once a year, and she was in a mood for a while, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Pian Yingxue's hand and said: "Poor girl, don't be afraid, as long as I am here, no one can hurt you again." ”

Lian Yingxue was grabbed by her hand, and her body was like a fire under her shyness, and her white neck was dyed with a touching pink, and she subconsciously dodged.

Xiao Yao realized that he was in a hurry, and hurriedly let go of his hand and stood on the spot in embarrassment, but he didn't know where to put his two hands.

Lian Yingxue held the hand that had just been grabbed by Xiao Yao, her heart was like a thousand deer jumping wildly, and she whispered: "Brother Xiao, will you really protect me all the time." Suddenly remembered that on the cliff that day, when facing Jiang Jingzhong, the superintendent of Dongchang Factory, he desperately stood in front of him, and secretly said that he had been protecting himself......

Xiao Yao scratched his head and said a little embarrassed: "Poor girl, you are the daughter of the ghost master, I naturally want to protect you." ”

Hearing this, Lian Yingxue's expression darkened, could it be that he was only desperate to protect himself as a master at that time, and the careful care along the way was also to treat her as a mother, he was so stupid, he should have thought of something a long time ago, why did he not understand it because he was deeply involved, and said a little bitterly: "If my mother is not your uncle, Brother Xiao, will you still protect me like that." ”

Xiao Yao saw the gloomy expression of pity Yingxue, and suddenly a burst of blood rushed to his heart, and blurted out: "Even if you are not the daughter of my ghost master, I will still protect you forever, and whoever wants to hurt you will not step on my corpse." ”

Lian Yingxue said cautiously: "Really, Brother Xiao." ”

Xiao Yao said what was in his heart in a hurry, and although he was in a mood, Rarity also let go of his arms and said sincerely: "Naturally, it's true, unless you don't want to pity the girl, or one day you think I'm bored, alas, I'm so stupid, in fact, I should have found out that you weren't a teacher a long time ago." ”

Lian Yingxue said in disbelief: "Liar, Uncle Han Shi's disguise technique is unparalleled in the world, this mask and the blood Bodhi core are both left to me by my mother, and they are things that she has been using in the Star River Valley, and my mother's demeanor and tone I have been familiar with since I was a child, if it weren't for the fact that I broke the blood Bodhi core in order to take out the Shennong Pill, and fell into the Dongjiang River and blistered off the disguise on my body, how could you see the difference." ”

Xiao Yao exclaimed: "Poor girl, you just said Shennong Dan?"

Lian Yingxue was speechless for a while, unwilling to say anything more about this matter, everything she did for Xiao Yao was from her heart, and she didn't hope that Xiao Yao would repay her, so she pretended to be relaxed and said: "Brother Xiao, you don't have to take it to heart, it's just an ordinary healing pill." ”

At that time, Emperor Yan Shennong's clan only refined three Shennong pills, and Shennong Dan has been extinct in the rivers and lakes for thousands of years, if it weren't for the fact that Yingxue was a descendant of Shennong's clan and got the blood Bodhi from his mother Emperor Ruxia, I am afraid that she would not know the efficacy of Shennong Pill, so she did not think that Xiao Yao would know this elixir.

But Xiao Yao learned about Shennong Dan from Di Ru Xia by chance, when Xiao Yao Fang asked for Qi Huang Pill from Qi Huang Gate of Huanglong Mountain, and when he was refining medicine with Ghost Sangu to cure Feng Lone Star, he accidentally talked about the matter in the Baicao Hall of Qi Huang Gate.

As soon as he said the beginning, Xiao Yao remembered his uncle's taboo, and when he was about to stop, he found that his uncle's face was different, although his expression was very complicated, he was not angry, but asked Xiao Yao to continue.

Xiao Yao had to tell everything in the Baicao Hall of Qihuangmen that day, and after hearing it, the third aunt of the uncle and ghost just sneered, and seemed to be secretly happy about the dismal fate of Xuanyuan Aoki, the master of Qihuangmen, and first said: "It's ridiculous that he has wasted his reputation and false righteousness all his life, and after all, there is retribution." "This 'he' naturally refers to Xuanyuan Aoki.

Later, he was even more dissatisfied with Xuanyuan Aoki's review of the world's elixir, Xiao Yao took the opportunity to ask the reason, but the ghost Sangu said that if it is about the elixir, the first place is naturally the Shennong Baicao Pill of the ancient Shennong clan, this Dan is a living dead with white bones, no matter how many injuries there are, as long as that person still has a trace of qi, Shennong Baicao Dan can save him.

What's more, although the elixir practiced by Emperor Xuandi back then was mysterious and mysterious in the rivers and lakes, it may not be clear whether it is really there, and Shennong Baicao Dan naturally has to be ranked among them.

When Xiao Yao heard that taking this pill still needed the blood of the Shennong clan, he couldn't help but be impressed by the mysterious medical skills of the Yan Emperor Shennong's clan back then.

At this time, since he heard Shennong Dan from the mouth of Lian Yingxue, his heart was suddenly cheerful, at that time, in order to cover Lian Yingxue's escape, he was already exhausted and was completely defenseless, and Jiang Jingzhong was shot in the chest, which was unreasonable, if it was not for a rare treasure like Shennong Dan, how could he maintain his vitality.

Thinking of what the third aunt said back then, if you are not a descendant of the Shennong clan, if you want to stimulate the medicinal effect of the Shennong Pill, you will inevitably need a large amount of Shennong's bloodline to be used as a medicine to attract it.

Now, although a lot of time has passed, there are only a few shallow traces left on the shocking scars on Lian Yingxue's wrists, but her body is still a little weak, thinking of what the girl in front of her has done for herself, Xiao Yao can't help but be a little stupid, he has been lonely since he was a child, and his parents were both killed when he was two years old.

Until he grew up, only two grandfathers treated him sincerely, and when he got out of Peach Blossom Gorge and wandered the rivers and lakes, although he made many friends such as Fang Ziyu and Ling Han, and worshiped under the current master Forget Worries, but there were few people who treated him with his life like the girl in front of him.

Thinking of this, a slender shadow couldn't help but appear in his mind, that was his first love, although it was hazy and a little illusory, but it really touched two sincere hearts, but in the end, there was no fate, but I don't know where she is now, whether that touch of life is still blooming.

Seeing Xiao Yao staring at the scar on his left wrist, Lian Yingxue hurriedly lowered the sleeves on her arm and wrist to cover the vertical and horizontal injuries there.

The injury on the wrist, when Lian Yingxue was in a coma, Xiao Yao had already applied some scar and moisturizing medicine for her, and after Lian Yingxue woke up, she carefully adjusted a little, and after a while, the scar will gradually disappear, leaving some faint white marks at most, but her daughter's body is like delicate porcelain, and no matter how small the crack is, it is also a deep pain.

'He noticed these scars, could he only talk about Shennong Dan?' Lian Yingxue didn't dare to think about it, because every time she remembered that she put her wrist to Xiao Yao's lips at that time, she would feel a little shy, and hurriedly changed the topic.

Xiao Yao was determined to be determined, but Pian Yingxue lowered his sleeves and woke him up, noticing Pian Yingxue's shyness, remembering that he had been staring at the injury on the other party's wrist before must be very weak, he secretly said ashamed, and changed the topic: "Actually, when I first saw the girl from the Star River Valley, I was a little suspicious that the girl was not my uncle?"

Lian Yingxue said curiously: "How come, that was the first time you saw me after I entered the valley, Uncle Han Shi and Chu Shibo both said that my makeup was absolutely flawless, how could you doubt it?"

Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, Uncle Han and Uncle Chu are right, poor girl, you disguised yourself as a ghost master at that time There are almost no flaws, and the tone of your speech is not leaky with the ghost master, although as soon as I opened my mouth, you agreed to help, and I was a little puzzled to go to Jiangnan with me, but it was not the main reason." ”

Lian Yingxue's eyes flashed, and she said, "Then Brother Xiao, why do you suspect that I am not my mother?"

Xiao Yao scratched his head and said: "Actually, the reason why I doubt it starts with an incident that happened before I saw the girl. ”

The more she listened, the more curious she became, so she simply sat down beside Xiao Yao and asked, "How could it be that you didn't see me before?"

Smelling the fragrance wafting from the body of Pian Yingxue beside her, which not only has the aroma of herbs and anthers, but also mixed with a unique girl's fragrance, mixed into a refreshing breath, a breath that makes people linger, grabbed a straw stick beside him and pinched it in his hand, and said: "Don't be afraid of the jokes of the girl, when I didn't see the girl that day, I had a strange feeling as soon as I walked into the Star River Valley." ”

Pity Yingxue said: "Strange feeling?"

Xiao Yao said: "Exactly, that is a feeling that I have never encountered before, as if the whole person is surrounded by a rhythm." ”

Lian Yingxue didn't interrupt Xiao Yao, but her heart couldn't help beating faster and faster, could the rhythm be ...... It's impossible, even my mother can't feel it, she seems to remember a fortune teller she met when she was thirteen years old.

The fortune teller was very tattered and sloppy, a flag was greasy, and the people in the town said that this person was a charlatan, and no one took care of his business, but he didn't seem to care very much, just stood aside and calmly looked at the passers-by, with indifference, disdain and a little self-deprecation in his eyes.

Only Lian Yingxue saw that he had a yellow face and thin muscles, and gave an apple that his adoptive mother bought for her to the fortune teller, who was stunned when he looked at the apple handed over by the little girl who looked like a pink carving.

Immediately took the apple handed over by Lian Yingxue very calmly, it was a very large and red apple, and if you held it closer, you could smell the rich fruity aroma on it.

The fortune teller took the apple and asked the thirteen-year-old Lian Yingxue with a smile: "Is this apple for me?"

Lian Yingxue glanced at the apple with some reluctance, but then looked at the thin fortune teller and nodded vigorously.

The fortune teller laughed a few times, and with a slight force in his hand, the apple was divided into two, one was very large, almost the original juice and flesh of the apple were there, and the other was very small, almost except for the skin, only a thin layer of flesh remained.

Lian Yingxue wondered why the fortune teller divided the apples into such shapes, maybe the other party was too weak so they broke it very unevenly.

At this time, the fortune teller handed back the big apple to Lian Yingxue, and he himself took the very small piece with only the skin, and said with a smile: "Little girl, my brother is a little thirsty, but my brother has such a small piece is enough, you are a kind and good boy, you can eat this big piece." ”

The fortune teller smiled, and Pian Yingxue noticed that although the fortune teller was sloppy, he was not very old and only in his twenties, but she did not take the big apple, but said: "Brother must be hungry, this apple is not hungry for my brother." ”

The fortune teller no longer refused, first picked up the small piece of apple and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and then he ate the big piece of apple, it seemed that he was really hungry, because he ate very slowly, carefully and seriously, thirteen-year-old Lian Yingxue had never seen anyone be able to eat an apple so clean and serious, she couldn't help but think that when this brother finished eating, the remaining pit would be seen and he would think that there was no flesh growing on this pit in the first place.

She sat down next to the fortune teller with nothing to do, her fingers in the air, she was happy every time she did this, and as her fingertips slid she seemed to feel some wonderful rhythm out of thin air, and the big yellow dog of the family always liked to stay by her side at this time, and the birds in the treetops sometimes fell.

The fortune teller happened to finish eating the apple handed to him by Lian Yingxue at this time, leaving only a complete kernel, and sure enough, as Lian Yingxue guessed, when he saw this kernel, he would only think that the flesh had never grown on it, but he would never think that someone could eat the flesh without harming the kernel.

When Lian Yingxue's hand flew in the air, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, especially when he saw the birds stopping beside the two of them one after another, the surprise in his eyes couldn't help but be even stronger.

Only then did she notice that the fortune teller was looking at her, and she stopped her movements a little embarrassed, and the birds flew away as if they had woken up.

The fortune teller glanced at Lian Yingxue seriously, thought about it and said: "Little sister, the eldest brother has no long things, since I have received your grace today, I will make a divination for you." ”

Regardless of whether Pian Yingxue agreed, he took out a few horns for divination from the hexagram bucket and threw them on the ground, stared at them for a moment, suddenly closed his eyes, and said that he had a voice in his mouth, and only opened his eyes after a long time.

Pian Yingxue looked at it interestingly, and looked at the fortune teller in front of her seriously, the fortune teller opened his eyes, and said to Pian Yingxue: "Little sister, you are in a graceful body, and you play the sound of invisibility with invisible strings." ”

Lian Yingxue listened to it in a daze, but she also seemed to understand that the fortune teller was saying that she could play music empty-handed.

Lian Yingxue has discovered that she can play some strange melodies since she was sensible, but when she listens to others, others only laugh at her, and no one can hear her voice, and no one will believe what she says, even her mother Di Ruxia can't hear the rhythm played by her daughter, thinking that she is sick and hallucinating, but she can't see where her daughter is sick and gives up.

As Lian Yingxue grew up day by day, she seemed to know that others didn't believe in her ability to pronounce rhythms, and gradually stopped talking about it to others, but only danced when she lived alone, slowly alienating the people around her.

But the big brother in front of her didn't wait for her to say before he believed her words, such a secret that could not be believed was already a very heavy burden for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and Lian Yingxue almost immediately wanted to pull the big brother in front of her to see her mother, to see everyone who refused to believe her.

The fortune teller seemed to see through her careful thoughts, rubbed her head and smiled: "Silly child, the whole world is turbid and I am alone, the world is drunk and I am sober, others believe or not believe that it is so important, your strings are born because of the sky and the Tao and sound, the beasts and birds have spirituality or can hear this sound, but the sinking world has lost its heart can only be heard, little sister remember the words of the big brother, you will sooner or later meet a person who can hear the song of your heartstrings, that person will accompany you for a lifetime." ”

Lian Yingxue tilted her head and said: "Big brother, since you know my secret, you must be able to hear me play the rhythm, are you the person, will you always accompany me." ”
