The third volume is famous, the forty-sixth chapter is clear and turbid!
The night was as dark as fog, and the stars that once filled the sky had all hidden their traces for some reason. The dark night was silent. There was only the low chirping of insects.
Jiangshan Tower has long been dark, and all the residents are deep in sleep. In Huangliang Dreamland, some people are happy and some are sad?
Only the golden glazed Qingyun Pavilion, which is as tall as the sky, still stands silently, emitting a silent light.
But for some reason, the light in Qingyun Pavilion was a little dim tonight.
The room on the top floor of Qingyun Pavilion still had sparse lights.
Xu Shao was still sitting behind the screen as usual, but the ethereal sandalwood in the golden beast had been exhausted today, leaving the bare golden beast standing there, looking slightly abrupt and dilapidated.
Xu Shao still had his eyes closed, but under the flickering candlelight, his face had no trace of earthly color, and was actually a bit haggard.
Shopkeeper He sat across from him and remained speechless.
After a long while, Xu Shao said calmly: "Go and brighten the candlelight. Why do I feel that it is so dark in front of me? It is so dark that I can hardly see clearly..."
Shopkeeper He then stood up, brightened the candlelight a little, and sat down again.
"Does Master have any other instructions?" Shopkeeper He asked cautiously.
Xu Shao shook his head slowly and said after a while: "No matter what happens to Jiangshan Tower tomorrow, you have to stay far away. Never enter Banan City again in this life, let alone mention to others that I am your master."
"But... once you are a teacher, you will always be a father!" Shopkeeper He said in a trembling voice.
Xu Shao smiled bitterly and said calmly: "I know your heart, but...that's all, go ahead and remember not to say that I am your master no matter what."
Shopkeeper He then stood up, took two steps forward, suddenly turned his head, knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to Xu Shao, then stood up and went downstairs in despair.
When the candle light was extinguished, half of Xu Shao's body was buried in the darkness, making it increasingly difficult to see clearly.
For a long time, there was no sound, only the white wax crying.
A figure in black slowly walked upstairs, gently opened the door, and stood silently in front of Xu Shao.
Xu Shao seemed to have expected that he would appear. He glanced at him lightly and saw that he was holding a tightly wrapped black baggage in his hand. Then he said slowly: "You are here after all?"
The man in black nodded and slowly sat down at Shopkeeper He's seat.
The two sat opposite each other.
Xu Shao suddenly smiled miserably and said, "He can't tolerate me after all?"
The man in black seemed to pick up the teapot on the table leisurely, but after pouring it for a long time, he could not pour out a drop of tea, so he had to throw the teapot on the ground.
After rolling, the teapot and tea lid separated.
The man in black shrugged and said casually: "The master already knows what you have done. What reason do you think you have to make the master tolerate you?"
"He's Xiao Yuanche! He never behaves according to common sense! What can I do!" Xu Shao's eyes widened suddenly, his voice was low, but he seemed a little hysterical.
"Then the master's orders can be ignored?"
Xu Shao smiled miserably, with a trace of despair in his eyes and said: "Back then, I was grateful to you for cultivating me. After more than ten years, with your encouragement, I have become a famous scholar and scholar with a growing reputation. But in the end,
What a dream!"
Suddenly, his eyes seemed angry and he said unwillingly: "It's just that if you asked me to open Jiangshan Tower, I would do it. If you asked me to spread his rumors, I would do it. If you asked me, I would win the hearts of the most learned people in the world.
I will still do whatever you want! Now, in order to protect myself, I just told him something that he already knew. Are you going to be so ruthless?"
The man in black seemed unmoved at all and said rather disdainfully: "Xu Shao, people in the world think you are a great scholar, do you really think so? Don't forget, these identities were given to you by the master! If
Without a master, you are just a poor scholar! You are nothing."
Xu Shao sighed lowly: "If I had known today, I would rather be a poor scholar."
The man in black smiled jokingly and said: "Repent? But there is no regret medicine in the world!"
After the man in black finished speaking, he stood up slowly, moved his right hand slightly, and a bright light slowly appeared on his waist.
It was actually a long sword.
"Close your eyes!"
Xu Shao smiled miserably, as if he was struggling to death, and said in a hoarse voice: "You people, you claim to be clean and fair, and you flaunt justice, but in fact, for your interests and purposes, you are fighting in court, doing dirty things secretly, and you still act like a righteous person.
, the posture of Qingfeng’s two sleeves... Aren’t you afraid of the rising sun? The rising sun! "
The man in black sneered and said, "Tianri Zhaozhao? Are you talking about him?"
As he spoke, he raised his left hand and threw the bundle towards Xu Shao's feet.
After rolling around, the baggage spread out, and inside was a human head, with teeth bared and a terrifying expression.
It's none other than Shopkeeper He.
Xu Shao's face turned pale and his whole body trembled as he said: "You! You! He has only been with me for more than ten years! He doesn't know anything. You kill innocent people indiscriminately and don't even let him go!"
The man in black said disdainfully: "Do I need a reason to kill a dog? Just like I need to kill you!"
Xu Shao stood up suddenly, his eyes full of sadness and despair, and shouted hoarsely: "This world is so ridiculous, what is pure? What is turbid? What else can I not want to part with in such a devastated world, where black and white are reversed!"
That’s it! Go and have a rest! Go and have a rest!”
With a clatter, Xu Shao pulled out a short dagger from his arms, pointed the dagger tip at himself, and laughed wildly.
With a sound of "Puff -", the dagger sank into his chest in an instant. He used all his strength, stared straight at the man in black with his cloudy eyes, and said intermittently: "The heinous man did not kill me.
But I... died in your hands... I will definitely wait for you sanctimonious young people in the underworld!..."
After finishing speaking, his body fell backwards heavily. Until he died, his eyes were still wide open, seeming to be glaring at this absurd world.
The man in black suddenly felt a sense of death, walked to Xu Shao's body, slowly closed his eyes, and whispered: "The upper branch and the lower branch... I don't want to
of!"
He dipped his fingers into the blood on Xu Shao's chest again, turned around and came to the screen, and wrote a few words with his bloody hand: "The murderer, Xiao Yuanche."
As if he felt something was wrong, he randomly erased the three characters "Xiao Yuanche" and "Yuanche". The second character "Yuanche" was also erased. The lower half of the character "Xiao" was missing, leaving only the prefix "诹".
Only then did the man in black feel it was appropriate not to stay any longer. He turned around and went downstairs, disappearing into the dark night.
............
The night passed and the sky became brighter.
Su Ling stayed up all night and saw that it was getting brighter, so she got up and said to Mu Yanqing, "I'm leaving."
Mu Yanqing put on a fiery red gauze dress and nodded: "I'll take you out..."
The two of them walked out of the room, and everyone they met along the way looked at them with strange and teasing eyes.
Mu Yanqing lowered her head and took Su Ling's hand, appearing quite intimate.
Su Ling whispered: "Miss Mu..."
Mu Yanqing's face turned slightly red and she whispered: "You taught me how to do all the tricks."
Su Ling was speechless and let her lead him downstairs, through the corridor and through the courtyard, and outside the gate of Xixiang Garden.
The two of them stood by the Xixiang River, and Su Ling said: "That's enough..."
Mu Yanqing was startled for a moment, then slowly let go of his hand.
Su Ling raised her fist towards Mu Yanqing and said, "Miss Mu, take care, I'm leaving!"
Mu Yanqing nodded lightly, then smiled at him and said, "Su Ling, we will meet again, right?"
Su Ling also felt a little confused. Looking at the sparkling blue waves of the Xixiang River, he slowly said: "Maybe... next time maybe in Longtai City, Kyoto... who knows?"
Mu Yanqing's eyes looked slightly disappointed, but she still smiled and said, "Please remember to promise me that we will go see the mountains of peonies together!"
Su Ling looked at her. The figure in front of her was dressed in red like fire. In an instant, she looked like a red peony in full bloom.
Su Ling had just calmed down when he saw a small boat coming towards him as fast as flying.
There was a man standing on the boat. Before the boat could stop, the man jumped out of the boat and came to Su Ling like a raging wind.
It was Du Heng.
Su Ling glanced at him sideways and said, "Du Heng, why are you like this? You miss me so much after not seeing me all night?"
Du Heng was sweating profusely. He pulled Su Ling and said, "Su Ling, you had a great night. Did you know that something big happened in Jiangshan Tower?"
When Su Ling heard this, he frowned and said, "Jiangshan Tower? What will happen there?"
Du Heng almost jumped up and said: "Shopkeeper He is dead, and Master Xu Shao is also dead! They died together!"
Su Ling was shocked at first, and then said calmly: "They are dead, what do they do to me?"
Du Heng swallowed, glanced both sides a few more times, and then lowered his voice and said: "The crime scene was Pingfeng Mountain. The murderer left his name. Although the name is incomplete, it points to you! Now the Banan City Government Office
Someone is coming to get you!"
Su Ling was even more confused. Although he was surprised, he said: "I...I didn't kill anyone. They were so full that they wanted to catch me!"
Du Heng winked at Su Ling and said: "You couldn't have been drunk at the oiran's place last night, and you were so happy that you sneaked back to kill them in the middle of the night. Others don't know, but I know now. You and Bai Bai
My uncle has learned martial arts, and now even the five of me can't beat you."
Su Ling slapped his big head and said, "Use your pig brain! I didn't sleep in the oiran's boudoir, and I went to kill that old man for no reason? Have I lost my mind and gone crazy?"
Du Heng blinked and said, "That's true...but the government doesn't care about this, and you will inevitably be tortured!"
Suddenly Du Heng said in a low voice: "Su Ling takes advantage of the fact that the person who wants to take you hasn't arrived yet. Why don't we run away now?"
As he said that, he was about to drag Su Ling away.
Su Ling waved his hands and said, "Why should I run? Come back with me!"
Du Heng was stunned and said: "Go back? Do you want to go back to Jiangshan Tower and throw yourself into a trap?"
Su Ling nodded heavily and said, "I didn't do anything because I was afraid of what they would do!"
As he said that, he got on the boat first.
Du Heng shook his big head and said: "My ancestor... you are a stick!"
After saying that, he also got into the boat.
The boat turned around and headed towards Jiangshan Tower.
