Sui Sheng sternly scolded Baili Fengjian: "The soul guide is nearby. If you don't take action, the imperial army will find this place and surround it. Can you guarantee that A Che will be brought out safely?"
Baili Fengjian paused for a while, then suddenly untied the wine gourd and threw it in the air. The wine was like raindrops. He laughed with tears in his eyes: "Senior sister, when the world is settled, can you have another drink?"
Swinging the sword, the sword energy trembled in the air and cut through Sui Sheng's transparent body. In an instant, she turned into white soul fragments flying all over the tomb, and the last words left behind were gentle and firm, "Okay, wait for the world."
Dading."
The gap of separation made the young Su Che freeze in place. She forgot to cry and watched this scene motionless. She saw the dazzling sword energy lighting up the dark tomb, and she saw clearly that A Niang was nostalgic.
But the determined smile, the intense despair that she clearly saw in front of her but couldn't hold back, exploded in her heart. She looked down at the soul piece that filled her palm, and it flickered for a few times before turning into white smoke and disappearing without a trace.
She still remembered that it was just before going to bed last night, and the starry sky outside the half window was bright. Her mother-in-law, frowning in the dust, walked into her room without taking off her splendid military uniform.
Grandma's palms smelled of unwashed blood. She caressed her face with reluctance and said softly, "Ah Che, when Grandma comes back from the palace, I will take you to the night market tomorrow night, okay?"
That night she slept for a long time with her grandma's promise, and had a long dream. In the dream, she saw her grandma killing the enemy with blood on the battlefield, and she saw the clear helplessness in her father's eyes.
, she wanted to struggle out of her dream, but she just moved from one dream to another. Until, until this moment, she finally woke up for some reason, only to find that everything had changed.
The disbelief, reluctance, and reluctance in her eyes gradually gathered into anger that was about to burst out. Her eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes. She stood up and violently pulled and shook Baili Fengjian's body, which was standing still with the sword in hand, while crying.
Nonnong: "Why did you kill my mother-in-law! Why!"
Baili Fengjian looked at Long Yuan's white sword that was not even stained with blood in his hand, and ignored the girl's hoarse and fierce question on the side. She murmured, as if she was answering, but also as if she was talking to herself: "For...
…this world.”
***
When Baili Fengjian came out of the tomb, it was already a moonlit night outside. The moon hanging on the dark cliff was always particularly sad, with withered branches slanting into the clouds to cover the moon disk, and the weird and gloomy atmosphere trembled with the sound of the wind.
.
After sealing the place where the souls were imprisoned with a new barrier, he finally lowered his eyes and looked at the girl who was lying on his back and her sleeping hole was tapped. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying and her breathing gradually became even, showing a bit of exhaustion.
The peace comes.
An aristocratic girl who has never experienced troubled times, she has a proud and arrogant attitude, and is unreasonable when she makes a fuss, fearing that the world will not be chaotic. However, she has also inherited her mother's love and hatred, and she does not know that she sticks to her heart with all her joy and anger without compromising.
How can a temperament without transition survive in this troubled world...
Baili Fengjian shook his head helplessly, that's all, she was still young after all. Maybe when she grew up, she could smooth out the edges, become more sensible, and know how to settle for the next best thing.
After taking a few steps, he stopped again. Listening carefully, he could hear the rustling of clothes in the woods above the cliff. He squinted his eyes and looked up, and as expected, there were several black strips hanging from the cliff on one side.
The thin rope, barbed into the iron claws of the rock, is a falcon symbol, which is very difficult to see clearly in the night sky.
"Sure enough, the Word Exterminator Army was dispatched." He said with a hint of contempt.
Speaking of the Word Exterminator Army, it is a terrifying existence on this continent.
The army of the Lincang Empire is divided into four levels. The lowest level is the ordinary army, symbolized by the flag of the Imperial Army. There are huge numbers, most of them are recruited by conscription, and the level of the soldiers is uneven; the third level is
The Hidden Word Army, with bats as their symbol, hides in every corner of the continent, doing things that cannot be seen in the light for Emperor Yi Zun, such as stealing secrets and digging up the emperor's tomb.
The second level is the word-destroying army, with the eagle as its symbol and under the direct jurisdiction of Emperor Yi Zun. Each soldier possesses unique skills and is not afraid of all kinds of monsters, goblins and mountain monsters in the six realms, and is proficient in Qimen Dunjia and Xuanmen magic.
, but unknowingly helped Emperor Yi Zun to eliminate the enemies of the empire. The spiritualist who came with the soul guide must also be a member of the word-destroying army. And the first level is the word-protecting army, which only protects people in
Next to the emperor. No one knows the details of this level of army. They only heard that these word-protecting armies are inhuman monsters who have been trained beyond their life span.
Baili Fengjian has had several confrontations with the Character Destroyer Army, and most of them ended with the Character Destroyer Army fleeing. Now he wants to kill his enemy with his own hands and be buried with Sui Sheng.
However, he knew that once the Word-Destroying Army lacked a major general, it would definitely attract the attention of the empire. After searching this place inch by inch, the discovery of the soul prison place was inevitable. Not to mention that the beasts of the empire disturbed Sui Sheng's eternal rest, the words in the tomb passage were so shocking.
, must never be known.
Concerned about the overall situation, Baili Fengjian could not act rashly, so he had to swallow his breath, threw a sword light into the air, swept lightly with his feet, and quickly left the place against the cliff with Su Che on his back.
"It's the Long Yuan White Sword!" There was a burst of exclamation in the woods, and then several black shadows rose from the ground, chasing the sword light in the air.
After drawing away the word-killing army, Baili Fengjian left the Qiye Mountains and headed north, arriving at Kunfang City. It was just after the curfew time, and the imperial pursuit order had not yet been issued. He followed the thin flow of people entering the city.
Go to town.
Kunfang City is a major trading city in the south. Because most of the shrewd businessmen are just outsiders, they will trade in whatever side is profitable. They even try to please both sides in order to keep business prosperous. The place is relatively peaceful, with few uprisings and wars.
After entering the city, Baili Fengjian didn't even look for an inn, and turned to the west of the city on a familiar road. The deep alleys and stone roads lead to the quiet mansion.
It's still dark, and the red painted door is closed.
Baili Fengjian tilted his head, raised the corners of his mouth, stepped on the silent stone lion in front of the door with his black boots, and landed in the courtyard with Su Che on his back.
Before he could take another step, an arrow shot sharply from the arched courtyard door on the left: "Who is coming!"
He leaned back and easily avoided the sharp arrows. He continued walking in as if nothing had happened and lazily replied: "Baili Fengjian."
The people in the courtyard were obviously stunned, and they couldn't even speak: "Bai, Baili... Sword Master?"
Baili Fengjian walked to the lobby unceremoniously, placed the sleeping Su Che on the couch behind the screen, sat down on the red lacquered carved chair, stretched out his long legs, so as not to think of himself as an outsider: "Here
The daughter's red that has been hidden for fifty years, the special assorted flower cakes, and the braised duck with honey sauce. Sanniang is quick to bring everything she has, but I'm so hungry."
The people in the courtyard immediately followed her in. She was a very charming and beautiful woman, with her hair in a meticulous bun, and a neat and shrewd look on her face, which showed that she was a businessman.
"Ah, you are really the Baili Sword Master. Where did the sun come out today? Are you going to leave the seclusion again now?" Nian Sanniang was still a little surprised, but she came to her senses and joked with a smile.
It turns out that the two have a good relationship.
"What's the matter? They regained their country and have nothing to do with me," he denied with a nonchalant lip, but his eyes were slightly depressed, "I just accidentally encountered the Word Exterminator again. I will be killed tomorrow."
I figured the price was going to rise again, so I came to hide here first."
"Are you kidding me, Baili Sword Master? What can the Word Destroyer Army do to you?"
He rubbed his stubble with his thumb and said with a slight slant at the corner of his mouth: "I'm not joking, help me get an official registration and customs clearance documents, and give me a carriage, I will go back to Jiahuang Mountain that night."
"Why don't you go back with your sword? Wouldn't it be faster?"
Baili Fengjian took a sip of wine first, sipped it contentedly, and said: "You think I don't want to do it? But I think the word-destroying army has been sent out, and the sky must be full of war-winged blood falcons cruising in the past few days.
The Empire thought that I must have returned with Yu Jian and escaped as quickly as possible, so I simply stayed in Kunfang City for a day, then slowly returned to Jiahuang Mountain by land, and followed the Imperial Army team, which was better than being chased by them.
I'll catch up. Once I've passed Shanhaiguan and the empire can't control that far, I'll go back with my sword. What's more, I'm worried that my little apprentice won't be able to bear the torment all night long."
"The Sword Master actually accepted a disciple?" Nian Sanniang raised her chin in the direction of the screen and asked curiously, "Is this girl inside your disciple?"
"Exactly."
While he was talking, a table full of dishes was quickly placed on the table. Nian Sanniang laid out the bowls and chopsticks for him: "What's your beloved disciple's name?"
Baili Fengjian was stunned for a moment. Ah Che's real name must not be exposed. The current ruler's surname is Su, and no one in the world is allowed to use this surname anymore. Looking up, he saw that the sky outside the lobby was the rising sun, the scenery of heaven and earth.
Everything was washed away by the gushing red and became extremely clear. He said without thinking: "Jing Che."
Nian Sanniang is well versed in the art of observing words and expressions. She saw something slightly strange in Baili Fengjian, so she stopped asking any more questions and said with a smile: "Sword Master, eat first, and I will prepare some for you."
Seeing her take a few steps, Baili Fengjian suddenly thought of something: "Hey, wait a minute--"
"Well?"
"Prepare some clean women's clothes, for girls."
Nian Sanniang nodded: "I know."
After picking up a few more dishes with chopsticks, Baili Fengjian remembered that Ache had been hungry all night, so he opened her sleeping hole and asked her to get up and eat something.
But unexpectedly, the little apprentice was extremely ungrateful. When he woke up, he was like a little beast on guard. He stared at Baili Fengjian with hostility, and said in a sad voice: "Give me back my mother--"
Being so unreasonable and unreasonable, Baili Fengjian helplessly raised his forehead and raised his hand to point to the delicious food on the table: "Stop talking nonsense, do you want to eat or not?"
"No--" She put on a look of resolute resistance to the end, but at this moment, her stomach made a loud gurgling sound. Her duplicity was exposed, but she stood up without changing her expression or heartbeat.
Pushing Baili Fengjian away, who was leaning over, he changed his tone, raised his peach blossom eyes, and asked confidently: "Don't eat? Why don't you eat?"
Helplessly bowing down in a dog-legged posture that said "Princess, please", Baili Fengjian shook his head slightly. How could he tolerate such a temper?
