[Sword Three] Mountain Ghost Ballad

"Tun will come out to the east, shine on my threshold and Fusang..."

After Nanzhao retreated, the tranquility of the past has returned to the Chengdu area. At this moment, the mountain road leading to Chengdu is quiet, but there is a faint singing in the silence.

The voice is melodious and melodious, like gurgling water in the mountains, but the tune sung has a sense of ancient tranquility, far away and vast, which makes people feel solemn and solemn.

Mo Yu was riding on a horse, and when she turned her head slightly, she saw a girl riding on another horse beside her. She was stroking the white horse with a happy face at the moment, and she was still singing in a good mood.

Seeing this, Mo Yu couldn't help showing a slight smile.

Before the Nanzhao Palace incident came to an end, Wang Yifeng wanted to take him back to the valley, and even invited Miao to go with him.But at that time, he didn't know what was out of his mind, so he just told Wang Yifeng that he was going back to his hometown in Chengdu, and then took Miao to say goodbye to him.

Therefore, he and Miao just appeared on this small road leading to Chengdu.

However, before coming here, there were many twists and turns, one of which was the troubles brought by Miao himself.Cangshan is not close to Chengdu, so it is natural to use horsepower to do the work, but with Miao's physique where all the animals are scattered, he has already picked the strongest horse, but she was still very scared by her.

It would be easy if Miao didn't know how to ride a horse, at worst she would ride with him, but the current situation is that no matter which horse sees her, they are too frightened to get up from the ground.In the end, he had no choice but to let Miao have a one-day emotional exchange with the two horses he picked, and then the two horses gradually returned to normal.

As for why there are two horses, because there is still one of his...

"Amiao, what song are you singing? It seems different from what you usually see..."

In terms of style, it seems to be a bit like Chu Ci, but the tune is different from ordinary tunes, more like a congratulatory song used for sacrifices.

Sure enough, Miao explained: "This song comes from "Dong Jun", one of Qu Yuan's nine songs, and the tune is only used during sacrifices. Although it is a bit weird, my father usually taught me to sing like this, so I also Just get used to it."

In fact, in that era, except for specific shamans, women were generally not allowed to sing this kind of sacrificial song, but her father didn't seem to care about this at all, and she didn't have this awareness either.Besides, she didn't have any contact with outsiders at that time, so naturally no one would say that there was anything wrong with the songs she sang.

"Amiao..." After listening to Miao's explanation, Mo Yu seemed to be a little silent. He frowned slightly and said worriedly: "What do you plan to do with what Feng Yi said? using you for what?"

Miao was taken aback when she heard the words, then shook her head slightly, and said: "I don't know... because in the past few years in the Yin-Yang Palace, I rarely saw other people except for practicing Yin-Yang Art, and the head of the Yin-Yang Palace did not what to do to me."

"Wait until they really do something to you, it will be too late..."

Mo Yu seemed very dissatisfied with Miao's answer, and immediately snorted coldly, "I heard from Master Gu that in recent years, the Yin and Yang Palace, which originally did not interfere in Jianghu affairs, has gradually surfaced. Let's see their actions during the Nanzhao rebellion. I also know that it must be a big conspiracy, and it seems to have something to do with the Spike Army that was formed privately in recent years."

Although the Yin Yang Palace has not acted blatantly in the past few years, it has not deliberately covered it up.

Although the major sects in Jianghu haven't noticed this matter yet, the Wicked Valley, which has always been well-informed because it wants to guard against the Haoqi League, has long been aware of the secret movement of Yinyang Palace.

Therefore, Mo Yu felt that since Miao hadn't been involved in the affairs of the Yin-Yang Palace, she might as well get rid of the relationship, otherwise, with her simple and ignorant nature, if she was involved in the turmoil in the rivers and lakes, there would definitely be no good end.

Miao knew Mo Yu was worried, but what she was thinking at the moment was another matter, so she comforted her: "Actually, if they really want to do something, they don't have to go through me. After all, I'm just a person. If you are weak alone, what can you do for them?"

She is telling the truth. If the Yin Yang Palace really wants to stir up troubles in the world, it must use its own power to achieve the goal. She is just a little girl. What's the difference.

"Who says you are alone..." Mo Yu gave her a dissatisfied look, but seeing her innocent appearance, she shook her head helplessly and said, "Forget it, no matter what happens, I will always protect you. Don’t let those people play tricks on you!”

Speaking of this, his mood seemed a little unstable, apparently recalling the time when he was forced to separate from Mu Xuanying, "This time, I will not be the same as before, no matter who comes, I will not I will let them bully the people around me again!"

"Light rain..."

Seeing Mo Yu like this, Miao was a little stunned, but she didn't do anything, she just gently reached out and grabbed the white horse's mane, and said softly: "Actually, I have understood from the beginning, whether it was before or now, I am In the eyes of many people, the meaning of existence has always been equal to the value that can be used. They are considerate of me, take care of me, and even praise me. What they want is just a secret hidden in me that I don’t even know myself. Mother, what I can make her admire and joy is never me, but what I can bring her..."

The girl's voice seemed a little sad, but there was no negative emotion in her clear eyes, she was calm and serious, and Mo Yu didn't know how to comfort her for a while.

Simply, Miao didn't need to be comforted, as if she was stating a fact, she was so calm and terribly warm, she smiled at Mo Yu and said, "I don't care...although it's always been like this , but I used to have my father by my side, but now, I have you. So, I don’t care about those people who are playing tricks behind their backs, no matter what they want to do.”

"But just because you don't care, doesn't mean they won't trouble you..." Mo Yu frowned, and finally let out a helpless sigh.

This silly girl, really thought things were that simple?

Among all living beings, the human heart is the most terrifying thing in the world, and the situation in the world is even more treacherous. Sometimes people even sacrifice everything for the words "fame" and "profit".What's more, right and wrong, black and white, how can one person have the final say, between good and evil, sometimes it is not easy to distinguish clearly, if the world is really as simple as she thinks, then there will be no such people in the valley of the wicked The wicked exist.

"Isn't there a saying now that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop..." Miao said seriously: "I don't understand their purpose now, so I have to wait and see what happens. When they come to the door, if they really want to do something to me then What, how can I be obedient... Do you remember that I told you that people from the Yin Yang family have always disbelieved in the destiny, and those who try to manipulate the fate of others under the guise of destiny, I will definitely make them pay the price!"

Mo Yu was slightly taken aback by the girl's words. He glanced sideways at Miao, and found that she still had the docile and obedient appearance in front of them on weekdays, but there was a trace of awe-inspiring and inviolable aura between her brows. It was so dazzling that he couldn't help chuckling, "Are you so confident?"

Miao nodded seriously, "Don't underestimate me, I'm very powerful."

"puff……"

Finally, Mo Yu couldn't help but let out a laugh on the horse. He raised his head and looked at Shang Miao's inexplicable eyes. He suddenly felt very relaxed, and couldn't help saying: "You are very powerful. After all, in this Jianghu, There are not many people who can chase the experienced King Jianning all over the place!"

Looking at Miao's beautiful and soft side face, Mo Yu suddenly calmed down.

He knows Miao's internal strength is profound, and her attainments in Yin-Yang art are comparable to others, and most people can't hurt her, but she is pure-tempered and ignorant of world affairs. Even if she has strength herself, she will inevitably suffer from those cunning people. .So he originally wanted to persuade her to go back to Tangjiabao after his trip to Chengdu, because he had heard Yan mention that the Tangmen had been looking for her for more than ten years, so it can be seen that they attach great importance to her, and her relatives are all in the Tangmen, so naturally she would not Like the Yin Yang Palace group, they only want to use her.

But for some reason, after feeling the girl's dependence on their former companions, he couldn't say what he originally wanted to persuade her to go back to Tangjiabao.

Forget it, if she is willing, then there is no harm in following him back to the Valley of the Evil, he will always protect her well.It's just a pity that once he goes to the Valley of the Wicked, even if he doesn't want to, this formerly pure and innocent girl will probably be tainted with a layer of haze.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu was in a bad mood, but it didn't show on his face, he just said softly: "Amiao, how is your riding skill, it's getting dark, let's compare to see who will get to Guangdu Town first ?”

Seeing that Mo Yu's expression was normal, Miao didn't know what was going on in his heart. Seeing what he said, she nodded and said: "The competition is fine, but I may not win, you have to let me."

"Okay, let's let it go, you go first!" Mo Yu pulled the rein, signaling her to take a step ahead.

Miao didn't show any politeness to him, she grabbed the reins and started to run. Although it was her first time riding a horse, her riding skills seemed to be pretty good.

Mo Yu saw her running for tens of feet, and her figure was fading away, so she rode her horse and chased after her.

For a while, only the sound of horseshoes was left on the quiet path. The figures of the boy and the girl glowed softly under the reflection of the sunset, and gradually disappeared at the end of the road.

————————————————————————————————————

When it was getting dark, Mo Yu and Miao finally arrived in Guangdu Town.

The two wanted to find an inn to stay in first, but unexpectedly, as soon as they walked to the entrance of Guangdu Town, Miao met an "acquaintance".

Not far away, a young man dressed as a scribe was holding a bunch of candied haws to force a little girl. The little girl looked only eleven or twelve years old, and she was resisting unwillingly at the moment. A few townspeople gathered around and pointed at that side, with disgust or anger on their faces, and words such as "pervert" and "Xingxiu faction" could be heard in their vague voices.

As for the man molesting the little girl, Miao took a closer look, but found that he looked quite familiar. After thinking about it carefully, it turned out to be Huang Yuezi, a Xingxiu disciple whom he had met in Guangdu Town.

Before Miao could do anything, Mo Yu, whose face was sinking like water, stepped forward to separate Huang Yuezi from the little girl.

"Where did you come from, you little boy, how dare you meddle in my business!" Huang Yuezi looked arrogant and domineering, looking at the thinner boy standing in front of him with disdain.

Mo Yu folded his arms around his chest and stood there expressionlessly, ignoring the other party's plan. Just when he wanted to throw the other party out without saying a word, he found that Huang Yuezi on the opposite side suddenly widened his eyes, as if watching It's like something terrible.

"Women...how could it be you! Let's spare my life, let's spare my life. I was just messing with this little sister just now, and there is no other meaning!" Huang Yuezi had just wanted to do something good to him The boy took a look, but unexpectedly saw a beautiful girl slowly standing out from behind the boy, she was the strange woman who made him suffer so much that day.

Although the girl's face was not covered with a veil at this time, he still recognized her from the general outline of her figure and face.

Looking at Huang Yuezi who suddenly fell to his knees begging for mercy, Mo Yu turned his head to Miao and asked, "Why, do you recognize it?"

Miao nodded noncommittally, and said: "He once wanted to tease me, but I beat him away. Later, sister Yue should have handed him over to the government and locked him up. I didn't expect him to come out."

Mo Yu sneered, and said disdainfully: "What is the use of the government to deal with this kind of people, the people of the Haoqi League are just too naive." So many persecuted people.

At this time, the surrounding crowd was suddenly pushed away, and a burly man with an anxious face was running towards this side, looking for something, his eyes lit up when he saw the little girl molested by Huang Yuezi, She ran over quickly, and when the little girl saw the big man, she also cheered and ran towards him.

This big man looks burly and majestic, but he has a simple and honest face. Now he is holding the little girl up, he is even more careful in his movements, for fear of hurting her accidentally.

The little girl didn't know what to do to the big man, and the big man quickly hugged her, walked over and stood in front of Mo Yu.The big man looked grateful, but he hesitated in his throat but didn't speak. Only then did Mo Yu and Miao realize that the big man was actually a mute.

The little girl hugged by the big man giggled and explained: "Le Kui means, thank you for saving me. Of course, Cuizhu'er also wants to thank her big brother and big sister, thank you for saving me!"

Cui Zhu Er must be the name of this little girl.

Miao looked at her lively and happy appearance, her small face was soft, and her big eyes were even more watery, which actually aroused her childhood memories of Xiao He, and now she has a good impression of this little girl, which is rare He showed a little smile in front of people, and said softly: "Where is your home? It's getting late, go back quickly, or the family will be worried."

Cui Zhu'er didn't respond yet, but Mo Yu looked at Miao in surprise.

Although Miao had always been obedient in front of them before, she was taciturn in front of outsiders and rarely showed her emotions.Today, this little girl named Cuizhu'er somehow closed her eyes, making her smile a little in front of outsiders which is rare.

"Xie Cuizhu'er's home is nearby, Le Kui will take me back, but elder sister, hurry up and go home with elder brother, otherwise you will meet bad guys like Cuizhuer." Cuizhuer was innocent At this moment, being hugged by the servant Le Kui and blinking at Miao, Miao didn't know how to react for a while.

It was Mo Yu who took Miao's hand and said decisively: "It's getting late, we have to settle down early and leave early tomorrow morning."

Miao nodded, then seemed to remember something, looked around, and sure enough, Huang Yuezi was nowhere to be seen, and asked in surprise, "Where is that Xingxiu disciple?"

Mo Yu shook his head helplessly and said: "I ran away a long time ago, when you were talking to this little girl. But don't worry, I saw that person was as timid as a mouse, and I must have been frightened by you before, but now you are still here!" This, he must not dare to come back."

And he won't be afraid to come back again, it's just convenient for him to get rid of this scourge.

"Big Brother, Big Sister, Cui Zhu'er is going home, let's play together next time!" Cui Zhu'er was carried by Le Kui and had already walked several steps, and Le Kui turned his head to show gratitude to them from time to time Cui Zhu'er also lay on Le Kui's shoulder and waved her hands at Mo Yu and Miao.

Seeing this, Mo Yu didn't say anything, just pulled Miao and wanted to walk into the town, but found that she stopped where she was, looking at the back of Cui Zhuer going away, with a bad look on her face, and immediately asked: "A Miao, what are you doing?" What's wrong?"

Miao's expression at this time is indeed not good, because at the moment when Cuizhu'er left, she vaguely saw a dead air hanging over the girl's face, as if a disaster was about to befall her.

But on the one hand, she has never been very good at observing people's faces, and on the other hand, because the lifeless appearance just passed by and disappeared, she was not sure in her heart, she just thought that she was wrong.

Therefore, she shook her head at Mo Yu and said, "I'm fine, let's go."

At this time, she still didn't know that their first meeting with Cui Zhu'er was actually the last time they saw Cui Zhu'er.

The author has something to say:

As a result, the countdown to Chengdu Mojiabao dungeon started.
