Remembrance of Tianyin's Adventure

Chapter 10 Return to the Cage

With a sound of "crash", the maidservant in white took off the iron chain on the stone prison door, pushed open the stone door, and said to Zhan Zhao behind him, "Go in!"

"Senior brother!" Chunni, who had been waiting at the door, looked at Zhan Zhao eagerly, her eyes full of expectation and worry, and when the maid locked the stone gate and walked away, she hurriedly asked Zhan Zhao, "Why have you been here for so long?"

Zhan Zhao wanted to answer, but he felt the blood surge in his chest suddenly, and he spit out a mouthful of blood when he opened his mouth.The palm he received from the woman in red just now was already injured, and he suppressed it all the time because he didn't want her to find out. Now if he relaxes a bit, he can't suppress it anymore.

"Are you injured?" Chunni was so startled that her arms went numb, she hurriedly helped Zhan Zhao sit down leaning against the stone wall, and asked, "Is her martial arts really so high that even you are no match for her?" By the dim candlelight Seeing that Zhan Zhao's eyes were slightly closed, his face was pale, and his vitality seemed to be seriously injured, he immediately put his palm on Zhan Zhao's chest, and sent a gentle internal force into his body.

After half a cup of tea, Chunni suddenly felt her inner strength being pushed back by a force, and seeing that Zhan Zhao had opened her eyes, she hurriedly closed her hands and said, "Senior brother!"

Zhan Zhao leaned helplessly on the stone wall, tried hard to control the rapid heartbeat in his chest, and said to Chun Ni: "I'm fine, you have to keep your true energy, and you will have to fight against Qin Gu in the future!" In just a few dozen words, It made his breathing even more unsteady.

Chunni reached out her hand to touch Zhan Zhao's pulse, and said in shock, "How did your internal energy become so weak?" Suddenly asked: "Could it be...she sucked your internal energy?"

Zhan Zhao smiled weakly and said, "She still expects me to teach her magic skills, how dare she absorb my inner energy?"

"You really want to teach her the magic skills? How did you know that set of minds?" Chuni asked.

"Who says I know the magic tricks?" Zhan Zhao smiled, with profound wisdom shining in his eyes.

"You don't know?" Chunni glared and said, "You're lying to her? Do you know how dangerous it is?"

"It's okay!" Zhan Zhao said calmly, "I think she already believed it. Fortunately, I know that song."

Chunni recalled the sound of the piano from a distance just now, and said, "You mean "Severance of Desire"? You were the one playing the piano just now?"

Zhan Zhao sighed: "Master taught that piece of music." Thinking of those years when he was learning art from Master, he sighed in his heart: "I can never repay Master's kindness!"

Thinking of her father, Chunni felt sad for a while, recalling the past, she wondered: "But my father only has half of the score, how can you know the whole piece?

"Uncle Shangguan helped me continue the second half!" Zhan Zhao said.

"What? Isn't that the original score?" Chunni said in surprise, "What if the witch finds out?"

Zhan Zhao smiled lightly and said, "You still don't know Uncle Shangguan's skills? How many people in the world can hear the traces of his continuation of the music? It's just that if Master is under the Nine Springs, if he knows that I play the music written by Uncle Shangguan Quzi, I'm afraid I'm going to get angry again."

"You dare to violate my father's taboo, it's no wonder he isn't angry!" Chunni said, "But what happened back then, my father did go too far." She asked Zhan Zhao softly, "Senior brother, would you know?" Blame my dad?"

"How could it be?" Zhan Zhao shook his head and said with a smile, "I just think that Master is really funny sometimes!"

"Funny?" Chunni snorted coquettishly, and said, "He's simply unreasonable!" Afraid that Zhan Zhaozhen would blame her father, she explained: "Actually, my father really hates senior brother, I hope you It's just that his good apprentice is also his own good..." He wanted to say the word son-in-law, but found that it was very inappropriate, his face turned red, he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to meet Zhan Zhao's eyes.

Zhan Zhao saw Chunni's thoughts, lowered his eyes and said, "It was Zhan Zhao who failed both Master and Junior Sister."

For a while, both of them stopped talking, and after a long time Chunni said: "Senior brother, there is something... I have always wanted to ask you, can you tell me frankly?"

Zhan Zhao looked at her dotingly, and said gently, "Senior brother, why did you ever hide it from you?"

Chunni bit her lower lip lightly, looked at Zhan Zhao with a pair of wonderful eyes and said, "That day... my father asked you to marry... If it wasn't me but another woman, would you agree?" The voice became More and more subtle: "For example... Caiyun!" The last two words were what she really wanted to say. Ever since she heard Zhan Zhao calling "Caiyun" in a coma, she had been circling a question in her mind: Could it be that he refused to marry because he already had colorful clouds in his heart?

Zhan Zhao had never thought about this question before, but when she asked him now, he felt completely at a loss.He wanted to blurt it out - saying that he had no intention of getting married, any woman would refuse, but for some reason, when he heard the name "Caiyun", it was difficult for him to speak.Ask yourself, has he ever thought about marrying Caiyun?No!But if Caiyun did not violate the laws of the country, if Caiyun wanted to marry him as his wife, would he refuse?have no idea.

"I don't know." This is the most frank answer Zhan Zhao can give Chunni.

To Zhan Zhao's surprise, Chunni was not angry when she heard this, but after a trace of loneliness flashed across her face, she smiled in relief, and said softly to Zhan Zhao: "Ever since Chunni misunderstood her senior brother that day, Chunni knew that she was worthy No senior brother! Although you and I are close and familiar, there is a lack of tacit understanding. Now, Chunni only hopes that senior brother can get married as soon as possible, marry a woman he likes as his wife, and have someone by his side to take good care of him Take care of you..." In the darkness, a tear fell quietly.

Cheng Yin took Mei Niang to the gate of the ruined temple, and said, "The benefactor, we're here!"

"Thank you, little master!" Meiniang hurriedly said: "You go!" Seeing Cheng Yin not moving, she urged: "Hurry up!"

Cheng Yin looked at her suspiciously, feeling very depressed: "I've come so far to see you off, and you drive me away as soon as you say, it's really... hey!" After walking a few steps, Mei Niang called out again: "Little Master, do you see my hair is messy?" Touching her cheeks, she asked, "Where's my face? Is it dirty?" , hastily arranged her dress again, and then raised her head to look at Cheng Yin.

Cheng Yin raised his hand to scratch Yuanyuan's bald head, thinking: "No wonder Master said that practitioners should stay away from women. Women are really strange, and they don't know what she is thinking!" Said: "The hair is not messed up, and the face is clean." Stretching his neck, he asked in a low voice, "Mistress, can I go?" If he didn't ask for instructions, he really didn't know what Mei Niang wanted him to do in a while!

"Of course!" Mei Niang said: "Little Master, go slowly. No! Little Master, go quickly!"

Cheng Yin nodded in satisfaction, and muttered, "Look! Fortunately, I asked! It's okay if you walk too slowly!" He turned around and walked away helplessly.

Seeing that he was far away, Mei Niang turned around and shouted with all her strength towards the ruined temple: "Female-devil-head! Come out! I am Princess An Ning! I am back! Come quickly!" catch me!"

Although Cheng Yin had gone far away, but Mei Niang's shout was enough for him to hear, he felt a little bit in his heart: "The female devil head? Didn't I call sister like that before? It's a pity that my sister is dead!" He wondered in his heart: " Who is the devil in the mouth of this female benefactor? She seems to want the devil to take her away. No way! I can't go, and the monks are merciful, so how can I die?" Turning around, he took a step, He stopped again, patted his head and said: "What a fool! I don't know martial arts, how can I save her?" Eyeballs turned: "Yes! I'll hide and see if she is really captured by the devil Now, I will go to Kaifeng mansion immediately to find Uncle Zhan to rescue her!" So he sneaked back cautiously, hid in the wormwood bushes opposite the ruined temple, and said with a smile: "Master! If you see Cheng Yin saving the female benefactor today, I will definitely praise Cheng for being brave and resourceful!"

"Female-devil-head! Come out!" Meiniang was yelling, when suddenly a strange red shadow flew out from the ruined temple, stood still in front of Meiniang, and said, "You are so courageous! How dare you do that?" People come back!"

"Where's Brother Zhan?" Mei Niang questioned her without fear, "What did you do to Brother Zhan?"

The woman in red smiled and said: "Didn't you just want to be with him when you came back?" She sighed in her heart: "Are all women so stupid?" A child's voice in the grass on the opposite side said: "Sister! Is it really you? Sister!" It turned out that Cheng Yin saw the red-clothed woman's eyebrows and eyes resembling colorful clouds, and thought that the sister he missed day and night was resurrected!

The woman in red had murderous looks in her eyes, and said with a sneer, "I knew you were hiding there! Since you came out by yourself, then follow me!" The red shadow flickered, and there was no one in front of the ruined temple.

Inside the stone prison, Zhan Zhao heard a man's footsteps outside, and gave Chuni a wink, signaling her to be quiet.Hearing the sound of the stone door, a middle-aged man with a good appearance and a loyal face came in, and respectfully said to Zhan Zhao: "Young master, my old master has sent a message that you and your friends are authorized to stay in this stone mansion." Feel free to visit, and no one can stop you. There are many stone houses here, and you can choose any one to live in. As for the old master, I will meet you at the right time!" Before Zhan Zhao and the two could speak, they turned and left.

"Wait a minute!" Zhan Zhao stopped him and said, "May I ask who you are?"

The man cupped his hands and said, "My servant, Mu Wuxin, is the head of the Shifu."

Looking at the back of Mu Wuxin leaving, Zhan Zhao and Chun Ni looked at each other, feeling that this matter was really incomprehensible: First, they just now knew that the woman in red is not the real owner of this place, but the so-called "old owner" is; Second, why was the old master willing to release them from the stone prison, and even allowed them to roam freely in the stone mansion. What's even more strange is that it is enough to say "walking", why do they say "tour"?Could it be that there are still some places of interest here?Third, they can choose a room to live in at will, so they are not prisoners, they are guests!When and why the old master met Zhan Zhao is even more of a mystery.

The two pondered for a long time, but they couldn't think of a reason.Now that Zhan Zhao's internal injuries have stabilized a lot, he and Chun Ni simply left the stone prison, planning to walk around and find out what happened.Just a few steps out of the stone prison, I saw two maidservants in white clothes pressing down a girl and a young monk coming towards them, it was Mei Niang and Cheng Yin.

The two maidservants seemed to have received the order from the "old master". When they saw Zhan Zhao and Chun Ni coming out of the prison, they did not stop them. Turned around and left.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to support Cheng Yin, and Mei Niang was also supported by Chun Ni. She looked sideways at Zhan Zhao, feeling very disappointed in her heart: "Why didn't Brother Zhan support me?"

"You?" Zhan Zhao looked at the two of them, full of doubts.

Chun Ni asked Mei Niang, "Didn't my sister go out? Why..."

"Bai Yutang didn't bring you back to Kaifeng mansion?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Go back!" Mei Niang whispered: "I want to come back myself!" Facing Zhan Zhao's gaze, she said, "You took the poison to save me, and you were captured by the witch, how could I do it by myself?" escape?"

"You..." Zhan Zhao really wanted to scold her, but couldn't bear to speak, he just blamed himself in his heart: "I've saved her so many times, why didn't I teach her how to protect herself?" How could he know, Mei It's not that Niang doesn't know how to protect herself, it's just that it's hard for her to act rationally when she meets Zhan Zhao.

Chun Ni was angry, and said to Mei Niang: "Since you know that senior brother has paid such a high price to save you, you should cherish it! Now that you have thrown yourself into a trap, wouldn't all your previous efforts be wasted?"

Mei Niang quickly apologized: "Don't be angry, I'm stupid, I'm not good!" Looking up at Chunni, she said softly: "But sister, if it were you, would you leave Brother Zhan and run away by yourself? ?” A question made Chunni speechless.

Zhan Zhao looked at the two of them, there was nothing he could do except sigh.

Cheng Yin also sighed, thinking: "So they both like Uncle Zhan too!"

Zhan Zhao asked Cheng Yin, "How did you get arrested?" He smiled wryly in his heart, "That's good! Not only did one not escape, but another was caught!" Asking him, "Didn't Lord Bao let you stay here?" Is Xiangguo Temple practicing hard? Did you run away from the temple because you were playful again?"

"I saw my sister!" Cheng Yin's eyes widened, and he said firmly.

The expression on Zhan Zhao's face froze, he leaned over and held Cheng Yin's shoulder, and said, "What did you say?"

"I saw my sister Lian Caiyun! It's the female devil who caught me in! Although she covered her face, those eyes belonged to my sister!" With tears in her eyes, she said, "My sister is not dead! Uncle Zhan! I My sister is alive!"

It turned out that Cheng had mistook the woman in red for Cai Yun, so Zhan Zhao sighed and comforted him, "You're wrong, she's not your sister. I've seen her before, it's really not. How can it be resurrected?"

"Isn't she really? Uncle Zhan?" Cheng Yin also knew in his heart that he might have identified the wrong person, but his sister was his only relative, and he dreamed that his sister would return to him.

"Really not!" Zhan Zhao didn't want Caiyun to come back to life.

Chunni thought to herself: "So Caiyun is already dead. Chengyin lost her sister at such a young age, it's a pity." She said softly to Chengyin, "Don't be sad, just treat me as your sister from now on, and I will Take good care of you!" Pointing at Mei Niang, she said, "And this sister! And you Zhan Da..." Xiumei frowned slightly: "Why do you call him Uncle Zhan? Your sister Caiyun is probably not much younger than him Aged, what generation are you talking about?"

Chengyin scratched his little bald head, and said with a smirk, "Then I'll call him brother from now on!" Taking a peek at Zhan Zhao, he murmured to himself, "I don't want to call you brother, but in my heart, I've always wanted You are my brother-in-law!"
