Return the Sword

Busy, what can I be busy with?Busy that Princess Donghua is getting married?It's so late. It took less than a month and a half from Chang'an to Dunhuang, so I couldn't come here easily. Besides, I haven't arrived in Dunhuang yet. I really don't worry about salty carrots. Naturally, Shen Mu didn't believe Wei Wan's words, but Wei Wan's tone was tight. It is also very difficult for her to find out something from it, so it is better not to do this kind of useless work.It happened that she was also very interested in Xue Zhao, she felt that Xue Zhao must be jealous, how could he run away if he was not jealous, she would rather go to the brothel... I have to ask Xue Zhao what he thinks in his heart.A lot of Wei Wan pretended to be affectionate, could it be that she was wrong at the beginning?

Shen Mu laughed three times in his heart, and then asked Shi Jian beside him: "Aren't you going to take a look?"

Shi Jian is a dull gourd in this respect: "I won't go."

"Why?"

Shi Jian was sharpening his sword, the whetstone was stained with water, snowflakes fell on it, the ice pattern cracked, it was really beautiful, he pressed his thumb on the blade of the sword, looking at his gestures, the speed of sharpening the sword was not fast, but A little spark flies: "There's no time."

Shi Jian's answer made Shen Mu a little silent.

Time... Shen Mu looked up at the sky. The stars were very bright this night, but the moon was brighter than the stars. There are many stars surrounding the moon. There are many stars, but there is always only one moon.But from the bleakness of the stars to the brilliance of the stars, from the waning of the moon to the full moon, so many springs and autumns have passed.

"It's been seven years." Shen Mu brushed her hair by her ears. For the convenience of fighting, her hair was always wrapped in a scarf, so it would fall down when she was free. many.

Long-cherished and sleepy at night, there is a long way to go.How time flies.

"En." Shi Jian responded softly.

Shen Mu's emotions recovered quickly: "If you don't go, I will. This kind of good show, if you miss it once, there will be no next time. I can't miss it."

Shi Jian looked at Shen Mu jumping away, he rarely smiled, but just looking at it like this, even in this night, his smile was like a ray of light, hard to ignore.

Zhao Ke came out from the pillar behind Shi Jian, with his hands behind his back, thoughtful: "Actually, you can relax a little bit, Mr. Lang didn't think about it, there is still room for turning everything around."

"Those people in Snow Mountain must be resolved as soon as possible." Shi Jian shook his head: "The most important thing in this world to me, Mr. Zhao, do you know what it is?"

Zhao Ke waited for him to continue.

Shi Jian replied, "It's silver."

"Yinzi..." Zhao Ke probably didn't expect Shi Jian's pursuit to be so simple, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Lang Jun's kung fu, although I don't know the samādhi, but we are very similar, don't we? I was taught by Lang Jun, this time, let's take it as my repayment." Shi Jian stopped, looking at the moonlight falling on the pattern on the blade Up, inch by inch, as if some kind of poison had been quenched, it was very cold: "My lord is much more important than silver to me."

Zhao Ke put his hands on Shi Jian's shoulders, and pressed his right hand down hard. He didn't know what to say, his heart was full of mixed feelings, so he could only say: "Wait for us."

Shi Jian lowered his head to sharpen his sword again.

Shen Mu went to find Xue Zhao and pushed open the door. Xue Zhao didn't suffer any injuries, but looked rather depressed from the look of her face. As soon as she entered the door, she said, "I heard that you disturbed the Three Corpse Grass?"

Xue Zhao said he didn't want to talk.

But Shen Mu expressed his interest just right: "It's that person's head, something that can jump and jump." After speaking, Shen Mu still jumped on the spot twice, and his tone was a bit regretful: "Otherwise you can indeed escape."

Up to now, I am still sitting in this room, talking more is useless.It's okay if Shen Mu didn't say anything, but when he said it, Xue Zhao felt chills all over his body. She was still afraid when she saw the head before, but she was also a little curious: "What is the three corpse grass?"

Seeing Xue Zhao sickly, Shen Mu wanted to laugh, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, so he said, "It's a human head."

Xue Zhao shook his head: "Don't lie to me." I don't believe it's a human head.

This time it was Shen Mu's turn to be surprised: "Didn't Ke Zhao tell you? The fertilizer for our flowers and grass is all human."

Thinking of that late night when he first arrived in Dunhuang, Zhao Ke did say it, but Xue Zhao thought it was a joke... "You guys, use living people to grow flowers and plants?"

"During the days when you were sick in the mansion, those flowers and plants didn't know how much nourishment they had. Those people didn't know whether they belonged to King Jin or King Qi. They came to the mansion one by one like moths to the flame. Fortunately, I found you back early today. If it’s later, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to see those flowers and plants.” Shen Mu spread out his hands: “It’s not that we want to grow them like this, but this time we looked at the pomegranate tree. It should be some years since we raised flowers and plants like this. When we come to Xueshan to learn art, we should know that the connection between this mansion and Xueshan is also very deep..."

Xue Zhao frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Have you read "Qi Min Yao Shu"?" Shen Mu asked suddenly.

It was a medical book, Xue Zhao naturally hadn't read it, she shook her head.

"Anyone who plantes pomegranates must place stiff stones and dry bones under the roots, and then the flowers will flourish." Shen Mu suddenly read out such an ancient sentence, and then said: "This is what is said in the book, it is about planting pomegranates well. , you need to put some hard rocks, corpses and other things in the soil. Of course, if you say so, you people from the Central Plains don’t take it seriously. The people from Xueshan are all ordinary virtues. They take it seriously. Copying it mechanically, people have three corpse worms, and these three corpse worms are compatible with pomegranates. After a person dies, the worms do not die immediately, but absorb the dead person's flesh and blood, and because they are also growing, they are called three corpse grasses. , but it is worthy of the name, with this three corpse grass, people can kill three corpses, you should know what to do after the three corpses are cut after you study the "Yi Jin Jing"."

Of course he knew, Xue Zhao replied: "You can enter the state of great extinction, and your mind will be perfect." If this is the case, for those who practice martial arts, the effect is something they can only dream of.Knowing how to use living people to raise flowers and plants, those who have become idiots in martial arts are not incapable of doing it.

"Of course, before you develop it, I just want to scare you. There is nothing to be afraid of." Shen Mu felt that Xue Zhao's complexion was a little pale, and immediately began to smooth things over in a gentle voice: "By the way, I heard that you went to that brothel. How do you feel, what is the difference between our brothel and your Central Plains?"

How did Xue Zhao know what was different? She was kicked out before she even went in. Hey, no matter what, she still had a cold face.

"Don't keep talking, I know you're sad..." Shen Mu said again.

"Sad? Who said I was sad?" Xue Zhao was a little stunned: "Why am I sad?" Shen Mu is really talkative, even with Xue Zhao, he couldn't keep his face cold.

Xue Zhao's sympathy only made Shen Mu's sympathetic eyes look more sympathetic. Seeing this little girl pretending to be strong, Wei Wan really knows how to play with other people's feelings. Princess Hua is an ordinary wife after marriage, so what are you afraid of, you are a regular wife."

Random comfort.

Xue Zhao had the expression that I don't read much, so don't bully me for reading less: "A woman, whoever wants to be her second wife will go, it's none of my business."

Now it was Shen Mu who was stimulated: "Do you know that Wei Wan is a woman?"

Xue Zhao rolled his eyes: "I don't think I know either."

Shen Mu immediately shifted the object of sympathy: "Then you definitely won't be with her, but that Princess Donghua is really pitiful, smack, she will be a widow as soon as she comes."

"Widow?" Xue Zhao felt that Shen Mu might have misunderstood the love between daughters and daughters.

Shen Mu took it for granted and expressed his thoughts: "What can two women do, if they can't enjoy the joy of fish and water, aren't they just widows?"

Xue Zhao thought of the scriptures she treasured, her lips twitched, and she was about to explain Shen Mu's confusion, but seeing that Shen Mu didn't understand it well, she felt that it was good for the other party to think so, and she didn't want to worry too much about it. Nosy, it's just Princess Donghua... The clan has never heard of this princess's name, she probably chose a maidservant at random and gave her her title.That's right, one has to sacrifice one's gold branches and jade leaves just to win over a local rich man. No matter how one looks at it, the imperial court should not engage in such a loss-making business.

"That's the business of your city lords." If before, Xue Zhao could not admire a woman who could be the lord of a city, he would have looked at him with high regard, but now, as long as he thinks of Wei Wan, his heart will stop. Unable to bear the chills, she was about to go to sleep: "I just want to know, since I am useless, when can I be let go?"

Shen Mu rubbed his chin, feeling a little regretful: "It's a coincidence, Wanwan is afraid that you will reveal her identity. It was originally a rumor that was going to be sent back to Chang'an in half a month, but now in Chang'an, it is already circulating."

"You can't go back anymore." Shen Mu looked at the figure of the woman in front of him trembling, but also couldn't bear it: "But the emperor is also considered merciful, and he didn't blame your family."

If the emperor thinks that Xue Zhao is dead, then even if Xue Zhao is alive, he should not be Princess Qin.

Xue Zhao blinked her eyes, a little sparkle fell on her long eyelashes, she didn't know where the sadness came from, she whispered: "Sure enough, I'm a liar, if you want to help King Qin, you know I'm easy to deceive."

"Oh, what's wrong with you?" Shen Mu felt something was wrong, she had to say that what she said just now was all made up, but now she admits that she made it up, it's too late... a little embarrassed.

Xue Zhao's eyes were a little red, but only around the eye sockets. She was about to shed some tears, but she suppressed them abruptly: "It's nothing, I'm going to sleep, you go out."

"Hey?"

"Get out." Xue Zhao suddenly shouted, and pushed Shen Mu out of the door two or three times.

Wei Wan was discussing things with Shi Jian in the study, but saw a dark figure outside the door, but Lan Yi didn't report it, so it should be one of his own, under Wei Wan's signal, Shi Jian opened the door, and saw the shadow under the eaves. There is a snowman standing.

Shen Mu's nose was red from the cold, and she kept sneezing. She looked a little pitiful. She didn't dare to look at Wei Wan inside, so she said to Shi Jian: "Go in and ask me, and tell me if I do something wrong After that, will she punish me?"

The author has something to say:

Can't exceed three thousand two...
