Chapter 593: This Humiliating Sword Wash
Pei Ye was silent for a while and did not respond.
The three words just hung there quietly without any changes.
The handwriting was sharp and the structure was grand. The feel of the words seemed familiar to him. Looking at this curtain again, it is actually closer to a piece of paper. There is a bird shape with wings spread opposite each other on each corner. The posture is beautiful and stretched, just like the legendary fairy bird, lifelike.
Pei Ye thought about it carefully. This was the Qingluan jade that Grandpa Yue left to him. It was said to be a token of the master of Shenjing Xiuwen Hall, and the owner of Shenjing Xiuwen Hall...
He frowned and replied with two words in his mind: "Not yet."
This handwriting is quite straightforward. I just want it to be as clear and legible as possible, and there is no need to talk about its beauty.
There was a pause on the other side, and a message popped up after a moment.
"What are you doing?"
"Think about the case."
Pei Ye paused and then said, "What about you?"
"I just had a dream and woke up."
"Nightmare?"
"...a dream within a nightmare."
"……oh."
After a pause, the sentence emerged again:
"Pei Ye, do you still miss Yue Muzhou often?"
"..."
"Fortunately, because I have been very busy in the past six months, so I don't have much free time... but it is easy to dream."
"How do you get rid of this longing?"
Pei Ye was quiet for a while.
"Missing...there is no way to deal with it." Pei Ye slowly replied, "Missing someone who can no longer be touched is like walking into a dead end. There is no air in this alley and there are walls on three sides. Do you want to Go back, but you can't go back to the past. You can only take out the memories from when you came, but that is also a trap. Every time you touch it, the suffocation will only get worse. "
"The only way is not to go in." Pei Ye continued seriously, "Look in other directions and other roads. Although Grandpa Yue has left, there are still many folks in Fenghuai, and I still want to get out of Bowang. , after leaving Shaolong, I have to go to the north to kill King Yan. Sometimes I think about Qing Qing, Miss Ming, and other friends I can still meet... There is always someone who can give me some support. "
The other side was quiet for a long time, and after a while, a handwriting slowly emerged.
"I don't know who to think about."
"..."
"Ah, I know you have many friends." This sentence brought a familiar smile, and he said softly, "Thank you, Pei Shaoxia, it would be much better if I said a few words to people... But I can't help but step into it... I There are not as many roads in my life as yours, Pei Ye. There are only two alleys in total. I not only have to walk into them again and again... but also until I get through them."
Pei Ye was silent for a while: "I will help you."
"Um."
"..."
"..."
"What on earth is this, and how come you can suddenly speak in my heart?"
"I didn't force you to come in, you accepted it yourself."
"But it will be fine in the future," she added.
"What? Say it quickly."
"There are two pairs of these Luan Pei. It is said that many years ago, they were held by the Emperor of Tang Dynasty and the late Queen before they ascended the throne. Later, they were passed to Yue Muzhou and Ying Suyu. Yue Muzhou left the capital twenty-three years ago. At that time, he cut off the contact with the other pendant, and then Laiying Suyu gave this pendant to me, and I used it to contact Yue Muzhou." The handwriting slowly emerged, "Later Yue Muzhou passed away, and this pendant lost its owner. Until today, I want to care about you in the palace. The situation has just awakened.”
"Didn't you wake up from a dream? You care about me again."
"Why else wouldn't I contact others?"
"..."
"The name of this pair of ancient Luan pendants is [Lianxin·Zhiyi]. It is said that they were transformed by two pairs of blue birds in front of the Queen Mother's throne. In a range like Shenjing, you can almost go back and forth. If you are far away, you can It takes some effort, and the frequency is also limited.”
"I see."
"It's been a day since you entered the palace. How do you feel?"
"I feel uncomfortable not being able to use my true energy, but otherwise I'm fine. This palace is really deserted, and not a single person speaks loudly."
"This has always been the case in the Ming Palace. Those who liked to speak loudly at the beginning either learned to be silent or died... I taught you a lot of etiquette before going. I thought you would be uncomfortable with it."
"Those are not half as hard to remember as "Erya"."
"How do you remember Erya?"
"Not really."
"good."
Then he said: "Let me think about it, you should be living in Zhujing Palace now."
"How do you know?"
"Your Highness, Corporal Lixian, naturally refuses to let you sleep in the service room."
"I didn't even have enough to eat tonight."
"..."
"Don't you know how to find food by yourself? Why don't you need His Highness to feed you?"
"I'm just discussing. She didn't even remember to prepare a meal for me, which shows that she may not be very polite." Pei Ye explained calmly, "It's not that I'm dissatisfied. In fact, I don't think she cares about being polite or disrespectful. Xian, looking down Even if she makes a simple gesture, she may not be sincere... I think she is different from Liu Bei and Cao Cao, you know, she can't be friends with the ministers. Of course, I don't care, even if I sleep in the forest hungry, I will. Will do well too.”
"..."
"Asleep?"
"No, you are right. All the emperors of Li Tang who were born with Lin blood are like this." The handwriting on the opposite side appeared, "Even if you are not born like this, you will always become like this... This is another alley of mine. ”
"What's the meaning?"
"It's nothing. When you live in the palace for a longer time, you will find that it is crueler than you thought... Do you have any other opinions about His Highness? You can tell them all."
"Huh?... What can I say about her? I just think she is cold. I wish you taught me some etiquette, otherwise I might not be able to get along with her like I was before."
"Well, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me at any time."
Pei Ye frowned and subconsciously felt that the words sounded familiar, but he didn't think much about it and said, "Yeah."
"No more chatting, I'm going to sleep. Your Luan Pei is called [Zhiyi], and it has been in Yue Muzhou's hand for many years. This pendant has an advantage, that is, all the news that has been transmitted in the past is retained in it. It disappeared after the owner changed. Although you can't see it there, I still have it here. I don't mind if Yue Muzhou comes, I'll send it to you. "
Pei Ye was slightly startled. He didn't realize what she was saying. A long handwriting had been passed over and appeared on his heart page.
At the same time, the blue bird in the upper left corner has its wings dimmed, as if its soul has left.
Pei Ye looked over and was stunned.
Woman's handwriting:
"I have heard about the wonderful name of my senior. I am fortunate to receive this pendant from the first place of Yingdao. I take the liberty of sending my thoughts and ask for your forgiveness.
When my predecessor left the country in the eighteenth year, most of the sacred capital remained as before. Only old friends were scattered like catkins. Xu Xiang died in prison. The merchant army was dormant in prison. The princes in the court were scattered. The chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes disappeared north and south. They were probably the people of the bright moon. After going to the building empty, the heart and bones were not broken.
Now the five surnames have returned to the three palaces, the innocent white families have all become slaves, the Yan army controls the northern border of Eritrea, and the news about the Huang clan has been completely separated.
At that time, the nurse girl was getting older, searching for old things, the fog obscured her eyes, and she often saw the names of her predecessors. She recalled that eighteen years ago, she led He Yi, the sword was cold in the capital, trusted by the queen, and she wore the sword in Zichen, the bright light was shining. Colorful years.
Nowadays, in the south and north, there are few traces of chivalry, and Lao Mei of Mingyue Palace is still there, but I don’t know where the senior has gone.
Why do you mean to hang up the seal and leave after the bright moon? In the eyes of the gods, you should see many kinds of secrets. If you ask about this, I hope you can get an answer.
This book was recently updated in ##六x-on:x-on:九x-on:x-on:书x-on:x-on:!! Updated!
Respectfully written by Shenjing”
Then there is a reply.
Pei Ye had never seen the same handwriting as on the case file before leaving Fenghuai.
"It turns out it's been eighteen years.
I'm not leaving Shenjing, I'm leaving everyone.
There is no such dream in heaven and earth, and the evil tiger can live happily and peacefully among the people.
I have already told Ying Suyu about these things, and I don’t want to talk about them again. The Thorn of the Moon was the last case I handled. Shenjing couldn't handle it, so I handled it after leaving office.
The thorn is called He Wujian, and it is hidden behind the so-called secret realm. If you want to find it, you have to search all the way from the end of the Jing River. It is difficult to identify the details. The person has a bloodline left. If he is still alive, he can be captured and "seeked for blood divination" to find his way out.
I used to write some words that left traces and handed them to you, which was enough to hide the connection that followed. But at that time, Empress Wei was dead, and I no longer had the intention to devote myself to the weirdness of Shenjing.
Immortals enter the world, and ordinary people are always like dumb dogs. This is why I go. "
That ends here.
...Yes, the key point in the case is that the assassin disappeared without a trace.
The traces of twenty-three years ago have long since disappeared, and there are no clues left for Pei Ye to pursue. He appears and disappears suddenly, so there is no way to start the case. He can only wander around the palace first to see if he can touch it. Find some plausible clues, or wait for some breakthrough from Huan Lou.
Pei Ye looked down and saw the beginning of the so-called "trace text":
"At the end of the Jingshui River, there is a mountain somewhere. I walked in search of a stream and finally found a pool. I dived down for more than two miles."
…
…
At the end of Jingshui River, there is a mountain somewhere.
In a deep cave.
Zhu Gaoyang tied up his hands and feet, put away his bamboo hat and sword, and handed a small gourd to He Changge. He Changge was speechless and cut his wrist open again with a small dagger. The dark red blood slowly drained it. Fill up.
Zhu Gaoyang took it and used the techniques taught by Xing Zhi to drive the spirit mystery, and then all of it dropped into the ice cave in the pool in front of him.
The blood was like a thread, instead of spreading out, it stretched into a very thin thread and snaked downwards.
"The desolate spirit is cold to the bones, and the melancholy is profound. The environment is too clear to stay for a long time." Zhu Gaoyang stared at the extremely clear water pool, and the blood line was still clearly visible after sinking several feet. "It must be very convenient for your Majesty to reach the other side from the spiritual realm. I It’s a miracle to find a place like this.”
"..."
"If I see your father, will Master Hewu fight against the enemy with me?" Zhu Gaoyang said softly, "Speaking of it, it was everything he stepped into that tore Fengshuiwu into pieces."
"There are no rivers and lakes above the Eight Rivers in Chang'an." He Changge showed no expression. "Father told me this twenty years ago, but I only understand it now. If I see my father, I wish Zhenzhuan had better kill me immediately, otherwise I will Even if it hits you from behind, it will still be quite fatal in a battle."
"Hahahaha." Zhu Gaoyang glanced at him. In such a deserted cold cave, the man's smile was still bright and warm, and he sighed softly, "Master He Wu is overthinking it. He doesn't really need you to make a choice."
He turned around and stabilized the sword on his waist, leaned forward and jumped into the ice cave, as if he had left He Changge here. He Changge was silent for a moment, and then stepped in, his body shape as smooth as a swimming fish. .
After sinking for an unknown number of feet, he entered a winding passage from the bottom of the pool. The surroundings were completely dark, with no place to breathe. Some cold water creatures were wagging their tails on the wall or in the water. The water cave was extremely winding, and there were many winding forks. Many places had to be entered. It is easy to imagine that once lost in such a deep underground, the master would also be in danger of being buried.
Zhu Gaoyang did not use anything to illuminate the water. The only thing that was slightly bright in the water was his eyes. There was only a very thin dark red line reflected in the darkness.
This cold and lonely darkness lasted for an unknown period of time. Zhu Gaoyang also forgot how many forks and windings he had swam through. After nearly half an hour, he felt a stream flowing forward from behind him.
Gradually, the red line began to rise vertically and merged with the stream. Zhu Gaoyang jumped and clearly felt that the water suddenly dispersed in all directions and floated in a place that was suddenly open.
He Changge followed from behind a moment later. The two climbed out of the pond, but the surroundings were not as dark as imagined. The surrounding stone walls all emitted faint fluorescence, making the entire space barely discernible.
Behind them was a small pond of ten feet in radius, in which some small cold fish could be seen floating. The surrounding rocks were rugged, and it was only a square space of several feet in size. In front of them was a passage that was obviously artificial.
Zhu Gaoyang slowly pressed down the sword, but did not cover his steps, and stepped forward with his eyes fixed. He Changge's steps behind him were a little stiff.
This passage was much shorter than imagined, just like the entrance before entering the courtyard. After a few steps, it was already a stone cave that suddenly opened up.
The two stopped at the same time.
At the entrance of the passage, several clothes were hung on the stone, swaying slightly with the wind. There was a vent that flowed in from somewhere unknown. It can be imagined that the hermit hung the clothes here after washing them.
In the stone cave, there is a carved stone bed and stone table, on which teacups, bowls and chopsticks are placed. Weapons and books are displayed on the right side of the wall, but there is no stove, so I guess only cold food can be eaten.
This is of course the hiding place of the Lord of Chang'an Water System, [Four Water Serpents] He Wujian. Twenty-three years ago, he entered the Daming Palace alone, passed the guards of the contemporary Shenxiao Dao leader Ying Suyu and Jia Yihejian Yue Muzhou, and stabbed the heart of the late queen with a sword, triggering the calamity of unicorn blood that has affected us to this day.
Afterwards, he disappeared, and no one in the world saw him again, leaving only some vague legends.
Now, twenty years later, for the first time, someone found this place again. Zhu Gaoyang raised his head slightly, but did not move his feet. He Changge stood stiffly behind him.
Everything here has long been rotten.
He Wujian is still here, but he has also been rotten.
A sword that broke his chest nailed him to a ten-foot-high stone wall. Before that, his right arm was cut off, and the bones and sleeves fell to his feet. There were three broken bones in his body, all at precise joints, showing an orderly slaughter.
On the right side of the corpse was a line of sharp sword carvings: "On the ninth day of the fifth month of the fourth year of Suolin, Yue Muzhou killed He Wujian here."
That was the fortieth day since Yue Muzhou resigned, and the second month after Wei Qingju's death.
