spring ice

Zhong Wushe was not awakened by the sound of the piano.I don't know how long the sound of the piano lasted.

She lay on the bamboo mat, slowly recalling what happened before.Although for her it was just a matter of closing her eyes and opening them again, without even a buffering dream in between, it was very strenuous to reconnect to the previous situation.

The feeling of being slung over his shoulder like a sack of rice by Botanma is the last impression left.Lost consciousness after that.Where, how long, I don't know.But the place is undeniably safe.

This is not to say that she is out of danger, but that she is very sure that she will not die in this place.

She sat up slowly, moving her sore hands and feet, her arms were left with red marks from the bamboo mat.The acupoints are not sealed, and the internal force is still there.She rolled her eyes and saw the sword on the coffee table by the bed. It was like a mockery. She was sure that even if she was intact and fully armed, she would not be able to escape.

She opened the door and walked to the front hall, where she saw the woman playing the piano.Or a woman's long hair.

That long hair was like a waterfall, almost covering her entire back.

It was hot outside, but the air in the hall was cool and dim.Like a piece of seamless silk satin, and like an invulnerable armor, even if it is attacked from behind, it will not have the slightest effect.Zhong Wushe tried to pass her and go to the front to pose with her, but he heard a warning clang.Then she dared not go any further.

In front of the woman is a screen of black mountains and turbid water, which isolates the uncovered flower and tree courtyard from the outside.She wasn't going to confront anyone directly.

Zhong Wushe had no choice but to sit by the piano with his sword in his arms, peeping at her veiled silhouette.

After a while, she finally couldn't help asking: "What song is this?" Although it seems impolite to interrupt someone's performance, this song is very slow, and almost every two notes can be interrupted. It's a big sentence; secondly, both of you know what to do with Niu and Qin, so you don't have to force yourself to be a bosom friend.

The woman stopped moving and answered after a while: "Your name is Wushe, but you don't know the name of the song?"

Her voice is amazingly beautiful, not as cold as it appears on the outside.Her person looked monotonous to the point of being skinny, but her voice was rich, as if her voice colored her person, and the whole hall was radiant for a moment.

Zhong Wushe said with a dry smile: "I'm sorry, the name was given by my parents. I have been tone deaf since I was young."

The woman said: "This is a piece I composed myself, without a name."

Zhong Wushe thought: "She is deliberately trying to make things difficult for me." Then he answered bluntly: "Your piano is not as good as your words." But this sentence is still a compliment.

The woman said: "I have nothing but my voice." It seems that this is not the first time I have received such an evaluation.

Zhong Wushe asked, "Where's the hair?"

"It will disappoint my face," said the woman.

Zhong Wushe thought: "Is that why you wear a veil?" Sighed: "It's very difficult for a human being to have two things that are extraordinary. I don't have either."

The woman said: "If you want to exchange with me, would you be willing?"

Zhong Wushe was dumbfounded.She had of course made many guesses about the identity of the woman.

Bo Tanmo is the only master she has ever seen in her life. Except for her father Zhong Zhimu, among the people she knows well, I am afraid that no one can compare with him.This woman can order Bo Tanmo to do things, her martial arts and status are self-evident.There is no doubt that she is not a righteous person, but she is also far from the demon girl Zhong Wushe imagined.Maybe she is a reclusive senior in the world, maybe she doesn't need her insignificant life.

Why would such a person ask such a question?Could it be that Zhong Wushe also has something worthy of her envy?

Zhong Wushe plucked up his courage and asked, "What... are you going to do with me?"

The woman said: "Wait."

Zhong Wushe said: "What are you waiting for? Waiting to kill me, or waiting to save me?"

The woman's finger on the strings suddenly made a sharp high-pitched sound. Zhong Wushe felt as if several small knives were piercing his ears. There was a pain in his head. He had to exercise his internal strength to resist, and said angrily in his heart: " What did I say to make her so angry?"

The terrifying sound waves dissipated slowly, only to hear someone outside the screen saying: "Gao Ya asks to see Miao Yinshi."

Although we only met once, and after a few days of separation, the young man in the hall has a vague figure, which is undoubtedly elegant.Zhong Wushe never expected to see him here and now, he was overjoyed, and was about to call out, but found himself speechless, he could only judge from the way of hospitality just now that the visitor was not welcome, but he could not protect himself , I have no energy left to worry about the other party.Sure enough, the woman said: "Go out."

Gao Ya said: "Unless Envoy Miao Yin appears in person to invite me, otherwise I will not go out."

The woman said: "Get out!" The slender fingers twitched, the tune was fierce, Zhong Wushe's chest was full of blood, and his heart was beating like a drum, so he had to tear off two pieces of clothes, plug his ears tightly, and concentrate on it, he could no longer hear it What are the two talking about.

The sound of killing and cutting paused for a while, Gao Ya still stood where she was, her back was straighter than usual, and she was already full of resentment when she spoke again. "Anyway, I came all this way, and it was very hard to find someone. I didn't stand firmly when I entered the door, and I was so kind to you. Anyway, you are driving me away now. Can't the envoy Miao Yin listen to me? "

The woman said: "I know what you want to say, I don't need to do anything more."

Gao Ya said: "This is wrong. Do I know you very well? Do you know me very well? Apart from knowing Qian Chongxue, do we have any communication channels? Besides, he has been dead for five years. People change rapidly. , It is often impossible to talk about theories, how can you be sure that what I want to say is what you think I want to say?"

There was silence behind the screen, and two words were revealed for a long time: "You say."

Gao Ya said: "The dead are gone."

He uttered the four words, only to hear a clang behind the screen, and a sound wave shot out like a sharp arrow.Zhong Wushe finally calmed down a little, and saw a string of the piano suddenly snapped, and the woman's fingers splashed a bright red, and she suddenly felt her neck being strangled and out of breath.Gao Ya sweetened her throat, her figure swayed, and she smiled to herself: "The dead are gone. I thought you thought this way, and I hope you always think this way; but I didn't expect that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years."

The figure behind the screen moved slightly, and the woman's voice softened a lot when she spoke again. "You just said that people's thoughts change rapidly. Gao Ya, Golden Thread is grateful for everything you have done for Qian Chongxue, but it is not your turn to intervene in what I want to do."

Gao Ya sighed. "Miss Zhong is innocent."

Huang Jinlu said: "How can Qian Chongxue be blamed?"

Gao Ya resorted to her trump card: "Qian Chongxue is innocent, and she is also innocent. If your deceased friend is still alive, you will not be happy to see you do this."

Huang Jinlu said: "He has already failed me, I don't care whether he likes it or not, and you don't have to make an opinion for him."

After all, Gao Ya had no room to take advantage of, so she had to say: "I have just arrived in Wancheng, and I may stay for a few days. If I visit again in the middle, I hope Miaoyin will not reject me."

Huang Jinlu said: "Yes. You are not a vulgar thing, as long as you don't mention this matter, Huang Jinlu will be a landlord."

The sound of the piano was played again, but it was in a gentle and pleasant tone. She bowed gracefully and exited the hall.The golden thread took out a white gauze and slowly wrapped up the wound on the finger.The surrounding pressure has disappeared, but Zhong Wushe still can't speak out as if restrained, staring at her blankly, and finally asked: "You...you are..."

The golden veil fluttered slightly, and it turned out to be a smile. "That's right, I'm the demon girl who caused your third senior brother to be killed by your father."

As soon as Gao Ya went out, she held on to the wall and moved slowly, the sound of the piano gradually became faint in her ears, and finally disappeared, so she stopped and spit out a mouthful of blood.He raised the back of his hand to wipe the blood on his lips, feeling the heat waves inside and outside his body, filled with disgust.After hearing what Wu You had said that day, he tidied up hastily and came to Wancheng alone.Zhong Wushe is obviously behind the screen, but it is impossible to outsmart the enemy. He retreated ten thousand steps and rescued him from Huang Jinlu's men. He had no plans to arrange it next. Back to Tunan, disaster is imminent, and he has nothing perfect to settle.After Qian Chongxue's death, there was no news of Huang Jinlian, and Gao Ya only thought that she had lost all thoughts and retired, but now she suddenly captured Zhong Wushe, and she didn't think about anything other than revenge, but she did it alone, or there was something bigger behind her. I can't see the plan now.Since she made friends with Qian Chongxue back then, she has basically cut off contact with the Demon Sect. Apart from entrusting Botanmo, who is also a recluse, this time, she has not seen any power from the Demon Sect. No matter whether she likes it or not, she will definitely help her generously. The worst outcome is that it will turn into a fight between black and white.The most heart-wrenching thing is that if the golden thread succeeds, that's fine. If not, he still has to worry about the safety of the other party, even though he was beaten by the other party just now and can hardly walk.Thinking of this, another mouthful of old blood.

After spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood, Gao Ya's Lingtai was much clearer, and suddenly thought: "Whether it's Zhong Wushe or the golden thread, each seeks benevolence and benevolence, what do I have to do with me, if Zhong Zhimu has three ups and downs, I don't have any regrets It’s not bad, it’s not bad, even if black and white really fight each other, it’s none of my business.” But this is not the first time I have thought of it, and immediately after that, I will think of the widow of the old man, and see her go through fire and water It would be too heartless to be indifferent, and since Feng Huanyuan started the matter of Zhong Wushe, he was confused and couldn't let go, so he couldn't help but greet his ancestors.The key point is that I am already so far away from home, I have even asked for leave from Yongfu Temple, and the monk took the opportunity to deduct wages, and I don't have the face of giving up halfway, so I can only take one step forward.

Going back to the inn elegantly, the weather was still early, and the clerk took a rag and took a nap on the table.His whole body was sticky and uncomfortable, so he asked someone to boil water and bring it to the room, intending to clean it up before meditating.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the warm water, he was tired from running around all day long, and he fell asleep drowsily due to the fatigue caused by internal injuries.

When I opened my eyes again, the water around me was already cold.It was dark all around, and there were no lights outside the windows.Gao Ya thought: "Why have I slept for so long?" He quickly got up, but unexpectedly his feet softened and he fell back into the water.Only then did the awake skin know the cold, but the burning hotness inside did not express at all, under the combination of cold and heat, the pain was indescribable.I only heard someone say in the darkness: "Finally woke up."

There are other people in this room.Gao Ya's heart sank, knowing that the situation was dangerous, she said indifferently: "Your Excellency has a habit of watching people take a bath."

The man said: "Don't worry, I don't even have a habit of watching women take a bath, let alone men."

He took two steps closer, lit up the lamp in his hand, and a familiar face appeared, which was Le Jingqi from Huashan.After a long time, probably due to the recovery from the old illness, the person seemed to be fatter, his complexion was naturally different, and his aura was also quite different. Until he slightly bent down to look at him, Gao Ya didn't remember his name yet.Le Jingqi's eyes were burning, his elegant breath was short, his shoulders were exposed on the water, he knew he was in a bad shape, but unfortunately his whole body was sore and limp, and he couldn't move a single finger.Le Jingqi said: "You look more pleasing to the eye like this."

Gao Ya closed her eyes: "Is it because there is no resistance?"

Le Jingqi said: "Of course, I don't know where to strike." He stretched out his hand, pinched his chin, looked around, and suddenly slapped him with his backhand.He didn't hit hard, and the meaning of insult was far greater than venting anger. After the beating, he looked at his wet palm and said with emotion: "Where there is revenge, it seems that it is not as straightforward as imagined."

Gao Ya was beaten to the side of her head, her lowered eyebrows showed no expression. "Why are you here? Where is Feng Huanyuan?"

Le Jingqi said: "You mean my third senior brother? Don't worry, he can't come." He walked around the barrel and said with a smile: "I also didn't expect to meet again here, it seems it was arranged by God. You don't have to be afraid, I'm not a small-minded person, but as the saying goes, "God and God will not take it, but you will be blamed instead. Since you are willing to die, you can't blame me." He also kindly said: "Or you beg me a few words , I can also consider to spare your life."

Gao Ya gave a low laugh.Le Jingqi didn't feel annoyed, and sighed: "I know you still look down on me. It's okay, you may change your mind after a while, and it's not too late then."

Gao Ya said: "No, I am not a person with extraordinary talents, and my will is extremely weak. If you ask for something, I will definitely reveal it all under the severe punishment, but I know that you don't want anything, you just want it. Torture me to vent your anger, then rest assured."

Le Jingqi said: "I don't like to hear these words. Do you think I can do nothing for you?"

He tapped loosely on the rim of the barrel with one hand. "You know that my whole life is to save the dying and heal the wounded. Qi and Huang are one way, with infinite mysteries, and one skill. There is an endless stream of people who come to ask you, which really accumulates immeasurable blessings. Back then, the conditions were limited, and I was scratching my head. As the master of Suxin Hall, as long as I open my mouth, I will basically respond to any request, but there are still some inconveniences. For example, if you don’t try the new medicine, how will you know if it is effective? According to the ingredients, take this medicine, three Hours must be poisonous and die. But if there is no living person to try it, what if it is five hours? How about merging into the blood? What about the pores of the skin?"

Gao Ya's mind was dizzy for a while, and her consciousness was gradually unable to concentrate. Even though Le Jingqi's words were enough to knock people's spirits away, she didn't seem to feel any threat. "Feng Huanyuan allowed you to do this kind of thing?"

Le Jingqi frowned and said: "Do I have to do it under his nose? Besides, he can't see it, so he may not know it." He felt that Gao Ya's repeated reactions were very boring, and he lost the interest in playing games with him. Pat him on the shoulder. "Besides, it's not as good as someone with high martial arts skills to test medicine with mortals. You are the best choice, and I will definitely make good use of it and not waste it at all."

Gao Ya closed her eyes and didn't answer, her body couldn't hold back and slid down.Le Jingqi said in surprise: "You'd better not sleep. It's such a wonderful taste, you have to wake up to feel it carefully." A silver needle slipped out of the sleeve, rolled up the cuff, stretched out his hand under the water, Gao Ya let out a muffled snort .Le Jingqi shook his head and said: "The Ruanjin powder was made before, and the weight in the water is too heavy. This is the disadvantage of not actually trying it." Twirling the silver needle, Gao Ya suddenly opened his eyes, and a bloody smell came out from the tip of his tongue .

Suddenly someone said at the door: "Don't tell me earlier, I'll try it for you."
