Bad knife

When Yin Dao was in XX City, Her Royal Highness Ming Ji followed her father’s wishes and reported to Yin Dao on time every day. Sometimes the two of them enjoyed flowers together, sometimes sat quietly and played chess, and sometimes they just sat silently and looked at each other silently, that’s all. Stay all day.

After Yindao left, Mingji missed him all day and night, and immersed herself in the memories of the only few days with Yindao. His attendant, who seems to be called Naraku, actually took such an inauspicious name.

When Yindao was here, Mingji was really embarrassed to complain to Yindao about his personal servant's strange taste, even if she was really curious that Naluo wore the same suit every day, could it be that His Highness Yindao is really stingy? Paying the entourage, so the only thing Naraku is poor is that one piece of clothing, and the one he never washes?

Your Highness Ming Ji, you are telling the truth. Yin Dao did not pay Naraku any wages. As for whether Naraku washes clothes or not, this is an eternal mystery...

On the second day after Yindao returned to Renjian City, he received a letter from Mingji in a hurry. Yindao threw the letter directly to Naraku. Oh, Naraku is cheap and easy to use. All chores can be entrusted to him.Yin Dao didn't have time to pay attention to how Naraku handled the letter, but Naraku couldn't help sneering at him for a few days, laughing so hard that he was all hairy, and then Ming Ji's letter came more positively, almost two days later One time, three or four letters at a time, of course, all these letters fell into Naluo's hands.

Half a month later, Ming Ji's letters stopped, and at the same time, Yin Dao received news from Ming Ji's father that Her Highness Ming Ji was seriously ill.

"Remember to inform me when that woman dies, Naraku, we have to go to her funeral, at least to put on a show."

Yin Dao ordered the subordinates to directly report Ming Ji's news to Naraku. Now he has no extra time to pay attention to Ming Ji's affairs. Only one Ando is enough for him to be busy.

In Yin Dao's 15-year career, the shadow of death has always accompanied him. When he thought he was used to it, he suddenly found that everyone around him was going to death one step ahead of him.

His mother, whom he had never met, Xiao Chuan, his maid who had taken care of him for more than ten years, and his father, whom he had never met, all left one by one.Yin Dao never thought that he would be afraid of death before, but since his father died, he dedicated the rest of his life to Renjian City, leading the warriors of Renjian City to fight in all directions, and the souls buried under his sword will not be counted. In other words, Yin Dao could feel his strength growing day by day, but because of this, the sense of fear that he deliberately ignored became stronger and stronger.Prosperity must decline, Yindao knows very well that he is now climbing a cliff that can only go up, and soon he will climb to the top, and then, the road behind him disappears, and he can only choose to continue forward , until it fell to the bottom of the cliff.

In fact, Yin Dao's life should have come to an end two years earlier, only because there have been a little more grievances under his command in the past few years, and with the company of Naraku, a half-demon who scatters resentment at any time, Yin Dao can last longer several years.But when others see that Yin Dao is neither human nor demon, it is just an obsession in the final analysis. Maybe Chun is right, he really shouldn't exist in this world. After another year, or two years, it belongs to human opinion. All traces of Yin Dao will disappear completely and return to the body, he is just a tool after all.

Yin Dao didn't want to die, and didn't want to disappear without a sound like this, but human beings are really fragile, so fragile that he began to fear death.

After Ando lived in Renjian City, he knew that he would die soon, but Yin Dao avoided seeing him. He was afraid of seeing Ando's paler and paler face, his sickness that could not be concealed.But Ando is worthy of being the master of Yin Dao, it is too easy for people who have lived here for ten years to block Yin Dao in the city.

"Yin Dao, are you afraid?"

When Ando asked this sentence, Yin Dao was a little shocked.When Ando left five years ago, Yindao was not as good as he is now... well, full of emotions, even now, Yindao doesn't think that Ando will make such a profound stroke in his short life, but Yin Dao didn't expect Ando to know himself so well.

In the past few years, Yin Dao's style has been high-profile and reckless. Everyone in the city has forgotten that the young master of Yin Dao was born weak and sick for a long time. He naturally thought that the young master of the city had found a famous doctor, or learned the magic of immortality. Even Naraku, who is always by Yindao's side, knew from the very beginning that Yindao's time was numbered, but in the past three years, seeing that Yindao's body seemed to be getting better gradually, sometimes he couldn't help but suspect that Yindao might not be sick so serious.

But what is the truth, Ando can see it at a glance.In the past, Yin Dao never deliberately concealed his sick appearance in front of others. He coughed when he should cough, vomited blood when he should vomit blood, and fainted even more when he should faint.Yindao has always been a precocious child, calmly accepting the fact that he was born frail, and calmly accepting the bad news that he will not live long, so he naturally and peacefully spends day after day, most of the time quietly He accepted other people's arrangements without saying a word, although he would usually be pissed off when he opened his mouth, but Ando always silently felt sorry for this little apprentice who was not blessed by heaven.

But when Ando returned to Renjian City this time, he clearly felt the difference of Yindao, no longer indifferent, no longer ruthless, no longer alone and deliberately separated from the surroundings.Ando didn't know what changed Yin Dao, he could still feel fear from Yin Dao.Maybe it's because he himself will die soon, Ando is quite sensitive to other people's lives, Yin Dao is not as unrestrained as he appears on the surface, he, a little apprentice who doesn't care about everything, has learned to hide the truth of myself.

Have you started to be afraid because you have seen so much death?

After hearing the news of Ogawa's death, Ando saw the city lord who had only a puppet body left, he knew that the change of Yin Dao must be related to these two people. After returning to Renjian City for half a month, he finally passed the Yin Dao, who always used the excuse of a lot of business, was stopped. He took a pot of wine and dragged Yin Dao to the roof to watch the moon.Yin Dao is his only concern in this world, it is impossible to let this kid continue to escape like this without doing anything.

But Yindao obviously won't obey Ando's wishes obediently. He is grateful for Ando's care for him, but makes himself covered with thorns and hides in the cage awkwardly, ignoring no one.

"You're almost dead, why do you care about me so much?"

"How can I ignore it? Yin Dao, you are my apprentice. Although I haven't received a single tuition fee from you, and I haven't drank your apprenticeship tea, I have taught you for ten years and heard you call me for ten years. How could it be possible... just let it go like this."

Ando once again habitually ruffled Yin Dao's hair vigorously, this time Yin Dao didn't dodge or dodge, didn't even return a bored look, just hugged his knees and bowed his head, without saying a word.

Ando sighed heavily, took a sip of wine silently and stopped talking.

"Xiao Chuan is dead." After a long time, Yin Dao lowered his head and said suddenly.

Well, I know, hear people say it.

Ando nodded, he also knew that the city lord had a new lover named A Liang, who was said to be a peerless beauty, but unfortunately she died, what a pity.Picking up the flagon and taking another sip of wine, Ando quietly waited for Yindao to continue.

"It was killed by Ah Liang...well, no, it was Naraku...not right, it was Xiao Chuan who wanted to die...nor, it was because of my father...Actually...there is... .In short, Xiao Chuan became a monster, seven years ago, the time I fell into the pond, she was already dead." Yin Dao faltered and talked to himself, at least he made it clear in the last sentence one thing.

"Really? Then she hid it very well, and I didn't even notice it."

"She wanted to kill me, but she regretted it later, so I didn't die, she died."

Yin Dao summed it up very concisely, and Ando listened silently, and he didn't even know how much he understood, but he couldn't help reaching out and stroked Yin Dao's head again, gently caressing each time.

"The day after you left, I also left Renjian City and lived outside for two years. Later, Xiao Chuan asked her father to send someone to find me. She loves her father very much, so she will never let him go until she dies." .”

After Yindao finished speaking, he finally raised his head and looked at Ando quietly, but his last sentence terrified Ando, ​​and Ando couldn't help but stop the hand stroking Yindao's hair, and met Yindao's dark and pure eyes. This young man is too calm at the moment, Ando doesn't know if he is complaining?Are you hating?Or just stating facts.

The anger was too weird, and Ando laughed and rubbed Yin Dao's long hair that had just been smoothed:

"Haha, it's really a bloody plot. The young people who are still alive should stop entangled in the past of the dead. At this time, all they need to do is drink heavily!"

Ando boldly handed the only jug in his hand to Yin Dao:

"Although I don't really agree with the behavior of using alcohol to relieve sorrow, but alcohol is really useful sometimes."

Yin Dao took the flagon, gulped down the wine, and then——

Sure enough, he was choked.

"Ahem...if I get drunk today, can I temporarily forget that we are going to die soon, and then pretend that tomorrow, tomorrow's tomorrow, many tomorrows, we will be alive and well... "

Yin Dao raised his head, and an undisguised expression of fear fell into Ando's eyes.

"Bad knife..." Ando couldn't help exhaling softly, but didn't know what to say next.

"When my father was dying, he asked me to guard Renjian City, and then he asked me to live on. I wasn't afraid at first, but, but... I was so unwilling. I obviously spent so much time and effort, In exchange for such a short ten years.”

Ando didn't know what to say anymore. Tonight, he understood some of Yin Dao's words, and some didn't understand, and he didn't have much time to delve into it. No matter how worried Yin Dao was, he was just a helpless Useless people who are dying.

Taking the jug from Yindao's hand, Ando started Yindao's previous behavior, silently gulping down the wine.

"Actually, I'm not human!"

Yin Dao suddenly turned his head and stared at Ando viciously, saying this.

Ando froze for a moment, then reached out and gently stroked Yindao's long hair again, smiling without saying a word.

He knows, what does it matter if it is a human or a demon?They are all apprentices taught by him Ando.

Strangely, Yin Dao, who was a little confused after drinking, could see what he was thinking at the moment from Ando's face.

"I'm not a demon either."

Yin Dao's words finally made Ando react, and stared blankly at Yin Dao with drunken eyes.

"Bad knife, dirty knife...Ando, ​​Ando..."

Yin Dao, who was drunk, shook his head, kept chanting the names of himself and Ando, ​​and then stood up suddenly, causing Ando to fall back in shock.

Yin Dao wobbled in front of Ando, ​​reaching out to grab Ando's skirt:

"Huh? Master, why did you become two?"

Ando couldn't laugh or cry at once, seeing that the Yin Dao was about to fall crookedly, Ando quickly reached out to catch the Yin Dao, tightly imprisoning the struggling young man in his arms, Ando smiled wryly in his heart, this was on the roof Ah, what a life-threatening little ancestor.

Yin Dao struggled in Ando's arms for a while, then suddenly lowered his head and laughed, and kept mumbling, Ando heard Yin Dao calling Master, stretched his ears closer to hear what Yin Dao was saying .

"Hey, master, Ando, ​​master, Ando...I have a good relationship with Ando, ​​Ando, ​​Ando, ​​Ando Renzawa."

Ando was shocked when he heard Yin Dao call out his last name clearly.

How did he know?

In fact, Master Ando’s surname was not Ando at first. He was just a nameless orphan during the war. Ando is treated as a parent and child, and Ando Renze is the ancestor who was famous in the world with a sword with the same name as Yin Dao that his master mentioned to him thousands of years ago.

Ando was still in shock, when he saw Yin Dao pulled his skirt again and said to his ear:

"Actually, I am..."

After Yindao finished speaking, he fell asleep very gracefully, leaving Ando staring blankly at the boy in his arms, maintaining this position without moving for a long time.

In a corner where both of them didn't know, Naraku held her hands tightly in resentment.Ando set up an enchantment tens of meters around him and Yin Dao. Although the mage hadn't had a good life for a few days, his strength was still obvious. Naraku could only stand here and stare blankly at the newcomer. The half-month-old man and Yin Dao were watching the moon, drinking and chatting on the roof. Even he himself didn’t know why he was so angry. In the end, it just came down to the resentment that the chess pieces and toys he had loved for a long time were robbed by others. .

From Naraku's point of view, he and Renjian Yindao have been together for three years. He thought that Renjian Yindao had no one around him, and thought that he knew enough about the young city master. But now, Naraku suddenly found out that he didn't know Ren Jian Yin Dao that well, and there were other things he didn't know about the Young City Lord.Just like now, Naluo can only watch Yindao and his master have a good time, while he is blocked by the barrier tens of meters away.

Naraku was blocked from the barrier, and couldn't hear what Yin Dao and the others were talking about. Naturally, he didn't hear Ando hugging Yin Dao who was sleeping, and whispered with a smile:

"Yin Knife, I should really be glad that my teacher is my home, and the precious records handed down by my ancestors are always with me. Maybe tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, after many tomorrows, you can really live a good life."

The next morning, Yindao woke up with a headache, drank the water handed over by the maid, rubbed his forehead and thought about it for a while, and unexpectedly remembered what happened last night clearly.

"I actually said it all..." Damn it, didn't it mean that you won't remember anything after you get drunk!

"Where is my master, Master Ando now?"

"Young City Master, Master Ando went out early in the morning."

In the next few days, all I got from the servants were reports that Ando went out early in the morning and disappeared every day, but the provincial Yin Dao felt embarrassed and tried hard to hide Ando, ​​but it was really annoying for Yin Dao to never see anyone I was a little worried, until one day the maid who served Ando brought what Ando had left behind.

"Master Ando left Renjian City last night. He ordered his servants not to disturb the young master. He will come back today to report to the young master. These things are all left by Ando to the young master. Here is a letter."

What Ando left to Yin Dao was the spell recording classics handed down by his ancestors. What he said in the letter was that after learning of Yin Dao's life experience, he went to search the ancient books, thinking that Yin Dao's situation might have a chance to improve, but he But I didn't have much time to study in depth, so I made some arrangements and left it to Yin Dao, it depends on Yin Dao's own luck.

Holding the letter paper in his hand, Yin Dao felt a bitterness in his throat, unable to utter a word, the man chose to leave alone, this time without even leaving him behind.Yin Dao knew that he would never see Ando again in his life, and he still had time to fight for his own life, but Ando's life might have come to an end at this moment.

Yin Dao flipped through the records left by Ando, ​​quickly flipping through them page by page, and was gradually shocked by what Ando wrote on the paper.

Master... actually found a way out for him.

"Young master, your master is gone?"

The sudden sound pulled Yindao back from his thoughts, and Yindao realized that Naraku had come over at some time, and the maid who delivered the letter had been called away by Naraku.

"Are these left by Master Ando?"

As Naraku said, he was about to reach out to get the information left by Ando, ​​but Yin Dao woke up suddenly and quickly waved Naraku's hand:

"Nai Luo, you have exceeded the rules, what do you want from me?"

"Ah, it's like this. There is something that must be reported to the young master. It is His Royal Highness Ming Ji—she is going to die today." Naluo was stunned for a moment, raised her eyebrows and silently withdrew her hand. Of course, no one could see He hid his displeased expression in the dark.

It was only then that Yin Dao remembered that he still had an unfinished marriage, put away Ando's things, walked out of the room with a sneer, and Naraku naturally followed behind.

"Why, that woman didn't die until now? I thought she couldn't hold on long ago. Naraku, your miasma doesn't work. It's the news from his father."

Naraku took two steps forward, leaned close to Yindao's ear and smiled meaningfully:

"Hehe, no, it's because Her Highness the Princess is very strong-willed. She is now looking for you in Renjian City—His Highness Mingji, and she made it all the way here. However, it looks like she won't survive today."

"What did you say?!"

Naluo's words shocked Yindao instantly, and he was about to fall backward when his feet were unstable. Fortunately, Naluo quickly stepped forward to support Yindao.

"Young master, be careful. I mean His Royal Highness Ming Ji has come to look for you and is waiting outside now. Ah, don't worry, he came alone. If the young master wants to deal with it, it's still very easy."

When Naraku said this, he glanced in one direction secretly, because he was much taller than Yin Dao, and he was half-supporting Yin Dao at this time, so Yin Dao didn't notice Naraku's movements.

"Hmph, that sounds nice, Naluo, if it were really that simple, wouldn't you just get rid of that woman yourself and leave me alone?"

Yin Dao reprimanded Naluo mercilessly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a burst of murderous aura attacking him.

In broad daylight, I saw a samurai with a whole body in black and a black mask slamming his hidden weapon at Yin Dao. Of course, he didn't hurt Yin Dao at all. Naturally, this assassin was quickly restrained by Naraku.

"Are you a ninja? Who sent you to assassinate me?"

Yin Dao saw the other party's identity from the other party's dress and behavior, and he just asked a routine question, but he didn't expect to get any answer. He knew that this kind of people were dead soldiers raised by various countries, and they had received strict training. What kind of news will be revealed? Everyone Jiancheng has raised a lot of people like this, but he really has never seen a ninja who dares to be so arrogant and incompetent in broad daylight.

Yin Dao doesn't expect the assassin to say anything, but it doesn't mean that he really has nothing to say. The assassin who was restrained by Naraku stared at Yin Dao with red eyes:

"No one sent me to assassinate you! I'm just, just not worth it for Her Highness Mingji! Her Highness Mingji loves you so much, thinks of you day and night, and insists on coming to see you for the last time when she's so sick! Unexpectedly You are such a person! You are the ones who harmed Her Highness Mingji!"

"Are you here with Ming Ji?"

Yin Dao is really speechless, he really has never seen such an arrogant dead man after being arrested, and he is such an honest and innocent dead man, which caused him to be overwhelmed by the feeling of "conspiracy" that he had just raised. Dismissed without a trace.

"It was our city lord who took pity on His Royal Highness Mingji and asked me to escort the princess to the city. If you have a conscience, save the princess! I heard it all. It was you who made the princess like this ! There must be a way to save her, right! If something happens to Her Royal Highness Ming Ji, I will never let you go—”

Mr. Assassin Ninja yelled happily, but Naraku choked the last word in his throat.Naraku twisted his neck before Yin Dao could speak again.

"Naraku, what are you doing?" Yin Dao's face was gloomy, angry at Naraku's self-assertion.

"Young master, this subordinate is just teaching this rude moment a lesson."

No, he was just very angry when he suddenly saw Yin Dao showing guilt. Although this assassin was outrageous, Princess Mingji outside...

"Hmph, teach him a lesson? It's not your turn to do this kind of thing!"

Yin Dao sneered and walked away. He didn't want to quarrel with Naraku, but he could feel that Naraku was showing irritability all over his body now. Naraku had never been so obviously disobedient to him like today. The relationship between him and Naraku was just a deal. Forget it, the powerful half-demon is unwilling to be subdued to his little human city, is it impatient after only three years?

When Yin Dao saw Ming Ji, the girl was squatting by the pool and arranging her hair facing the reflection. She was wearing the most common coarse clothes, and the shoes on her feet had a few holes because of the long journey.Ming Ji has always been extravagant and extravagant in front of Yin Dao. At first sight of such a huge gap in the back, Yin Dao just stood there in a daze not far away, sized Ming Ji up and down several times, but dared not go forward.

Ming Ji heard the sound behind her, turned her head and saw Mr. Yin Dao that she was thinking of.

"Master Yin Dao."

It was only then that Yindao could see Mingji's current appearance clearly. The girl who was as gorgeous as a flower was extremely haggard from the pain, and her face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. Gently calling Yindao's name, and then a drop of crystal tears fell down from his cheek involuntarily, Yindao suddenly felt that Mingji at this moment was more beautiful than any time he had seen before.

What the hell did he do to an innocent girl!

The battlefield is cruel, Yin Dao has always taken the lives of others mercilessly, and never cared what kind of people died under his hands.Being forced to marry by Ming Ji's father, Yin Dao chose the simplest way. While facing Ming Jixu and Wei Snake, he deliberately brought Naraku every time he met Ming Ji, just like this with a smile again and again. Ming Ji's conversation eroded her life.

Because she didn't want to marry Ming Ji, she took the bride's life before the wedding.

But now, Yin Dao regretted it, why did he choose such a method without hesitation?

Yin Dao never thought that just a few days of getting along would make Ming Ji so attached to him, and at that time he just showed a false self to Ming Ji.

After several days of non-stop rushing, Ming Ji finally saw Mrs. Yin Dao whom she had been thinking about, and her tense nerves finally relaxed. The girl was pale and peacefully sleeping in her fiancé's arms.

Ming Ji didn't pass out for a long time, Yin Dao had just carried her into the room and settled down, she woke up again after a while, Yin Dao who had just left was called back anxiously by the maid.

Yin Dao stepped into Ming Ji's room again, and this time Naraku followed closely behind him, sneering mockingly, without saying a word.

"Master Yin Dao, please forgive me, because Ming Ji misses you so much, so I can't wait for the wedding to come to you."

Ming Ji, who was half lying on the bed, stretched out her hand towards Yindao, and Yindao followed Mingji's wishes, stepped forward to hold her hand and sat on the edge of the bed.No matter how famous she was in the past, Ming Ji is really not as beautiful as before, but the pale face in front of her has no reason to pity Yin Dao.

Fragile, too fragile, human life.

"Ming Ji must be very ugly now, I'm really sorry, I just wanted Lord Yin Dao to remember the beautiful me, but I really wanted Lord Yin Dao to see Ming Ji for the last time, so I came here, so I can catch up It’s gone.” The girl kept talking, with a brisk tone, and she was very happy because she really succeeded in seeing Yin Dao, “Master Yin Dao must remember Ming Ji, whether it’s the beautiful Ming Ji before or the one who has changed now. Ugly Ming Ji, Yin Dao, don’t forget me, Ming Ji really likes Master Yin Dao, really likes—”

The girl was still talking cheerfully one second, but suddenly there was no sound the next second, and the cold hand gradually slipped from Yindao's grasp, and Ming Ji's life suddenly disappeared when Yindao was caught off guard.

Warm tears dripped on the back of his hands, and Yin Dao raised his hands blankly:

Is this... am I crying?

The bewildered young man raised his head, and the first thing he saw was the other person who was still alive in the room at the moment. For a moment, he seemed to feel the same bewilderment from Naluo. Weep silently.

Naraku sighed and stepped forward to embrace Yin Dao, opened his mouth and made a very bewitching voice:

"Yindao, look, the people around you are dying one by one, they left you alone, but it doesn't matter, don't worry, I'm here, and I will be with you until you walk into death , won't leave you alone."

The author has something to say: finished liao.
