"I don't know what the purpose of this guqin is. It's just a relic from the previous dynasty. Although it has no collection value for ghosts, I have the courage to take it out after hearing about Baye Xiqin..." Xishan Maogui next to him was still chattering. Nagging, but Wu Ziyu couldn't listen to anything anymore.

----------------

It was daylight, and the servants had already begun to sprinkle and sweep the floor.

Different from the quietness and peace of other courtyards, the servants of Liuxin Courtyard are all on tiptoe, and even their breathing is controlled very lightly, lest they wake up the sleeping monsters in the house.

The door was suddenly pulled open, and there stood a young man dressed in black, the gloom between his brows was like ice that could not be melted from ancient times.All the servants were startled, and they all grabbed their cleaning tools and avoided it.

"What are you afraid of?" The young man raised the corner of his mouth, seeing that no one dared to look at him, he clicked his tongue and stepped over the threshold to walk towards the courtyard gate.Wherever he went, there was always a faint smell.

The servants breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the boy's back walking away.

"Second Young Master is really scary! I can even smell the blood on his body!" A servant holding a broom described it to the people next to him. His frightened expression immediately caused many people to nod.

"I heard that the second young master killed a lot of people when he was in the prisoner camp. Good fellow, it is said that the blood would flow in the gutter outside for three days and three nights!" He spoke as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"You put it that way, I can smell the lingering smell of blood..." Another person holding a bucket frowned, with a look of surprise and suspicion.

"It seems a bit..." The man with the broom nodded and was about to sweep the floor when he lowered his head and found a sharp knife lying in front of him.

Turning his head stiffly, he found that the protagonist in their conversation just tilted his head to look at him: "Keep talking."

"Two, Second Young Master..." The broom servant's legs began to tremble, as if he was sifting rice.Suddenly he rolled his eyes and fell backwards.

Tch, it's boring.The boy turned the knife and put it in his waist, then turned and left.

The young man's name is Wu Ziyu, the second son of the general defending Dancheng.Dan City is located on the border and is often invaded by barbarians.In a small-scale battle five years ago, at the age of 11, he was taken away by the barbarians and entered a prisoner camp. His country proposed to return the prisoners, but it took five years for him to actually return to the country due to ineffective negotiations.

But after five years in the prison camp, the second son of the Wu family who was known for his cleverness in the early years has become a monster in the population of the city.

The origin of the term "monster" is that Wu Ziyu doesn't like cooked meat, but prefers raw meat, especially fresh meat with blood is the best.

Although this habit worried the whole family, Wu Ziyu didn't take it seriously.They call him a monster, and that's okay.

Whenever Wu Ziyu went out, everyone was afraid to avoid it, so it was meaningless to be in this city.He walked straight out of the city, thinking about how to spend the day.

I have been in a dark place for a long time, and once I am lucky enough not to be imprisoned, I like to hang out every day.What's more, if you leave the mansion, you won't have to face those trembling people.

After leaving the city, he chose a small path, and the consequence of taking this small path in the border city is that there is a high probability of encountering robbers.

Wu Ziyu looked at the group of bandits surrounding him with great interest. He had been seen and detoured every day since he had been home for so long.

"Hand over all the valuables to me!" This group of robbers just got together and prepared to do this business. It is the first time to rob, and they must be full of momentum.

Seeing that Wu Ziyu turned a deaf ear to him, the bandit took another step forward with a knife and said the classic line: "Hand over the money, and I will save your life!"

Wu Ziyu quietly unsheathed the knife pinned to his waist, and before he started to move, there was a loud shout.

"stop!"

The gangsters thought that officers and soldiers were coming, but when they turned around and saw them, they burst into laughter—it turned out to be a man in Tsing Yi with a slim figure, a face like a jade crown, and a piano on his back!

How dare this powerless literati come out unarmed and clamor?

"Let him go."

Gangsters don't do it. If you beat one, you will get a couple of robbers. Wouldn't it be more money?A small group of people slowly surrounded the man in Tsing Yi.

"Stop! Don't come here! If you come here again, I won't give you any money!" Tsing Yi took a step back, "Don't you just want money? Give me that person, and you can take the money!"

The gangsters were all stunned by the words of the man in Tsing Yi. It was obviously a robbery. Why did it feel like a kidnapper exchanging hostages?

That Tsing Yi didn't wait for the gangster to turn his head, and continued: "Are you asking for money?"

"Yes." It's true that he came to rob for money.

Tsing Yi immediately said: "Then I will give you the money, and you can leave after your goals are achieved, is that the reason?"

"Yes."

"Take the money and leave, don't make me look down on you!" Tsing Yi took out a few bank notes and shook them.

"Joke, the most important thing for me, Wang Laosan, is credit!" Tsing Yi's words followed like cannonballs, and the gangster completely forgot that he should rob Wu Ziyu first and then rob Tsing Yi.

Then the two parties simply handed over the money and replaced them.Tsing Yi breathed a sigh of relief when the gangsters walked away, and turned to Wu Ziyu and said, "Are you okay? Didn't you get hurt?"

Wu Ziyu witnessed this dramatic change the whole time, and for a moment didn't know whether to call the gangster an idiot or this man an idiot.The culprit obviously met two people, but was circumvented so that only one person's money was taken; the one who was robbed was obviously only himself, and the man jumped out and used his own money to make the culprit leave without any effort.

In this world... how could there be such an ancient hearted person?And it looks like he can't deal with those robbers?

"Whose family are you a child? Dare to come to this road where robbers are frequent? If I hadn't discovered it early, I'm afraid you would have been robbed and killed like those people." Tsing Yi pointed to the grass on the hillside not far away. , a dead body lying vaguely.

child?Wu Ziyu was already sixteen, at this time it was time to get married and have children.He looked down at himself. Indeed, because he had been in the prisoner camp for a long time, he had no nutrition to keep up with his development, so he was thinner and smaller than his peers.The whole body is full of muscles developed from years of beating and fighting, without a trace of excess fat.

"However, those robbers are a little unfamiliar. I think they only came here recently to settle down, otherwise I would not leave." Tsing Yi said to himself.

Wu Ziyu stared at Tsing Yi for a long time but couldn't see any hostility from him. He retracted the unsheathed knife a little bit, but still didn't let go of the handle.

"Ah! It's time for me to go, let's go now." Tsing Yi said a lot, but Wu Ziyu didn't even open his mouth.

Except for the group of robbers, this was the first person he had talked to him so much after returning from the prisoner camp.The mother at home loved him very much, but seeing him eating raw meat, all worries turned into fear and disgust. Although the father didn't say anything, he clearly said "this son is useless" in his eyes.

Wu Ziyu stood there in a daze for a long time, then walked in the direction Tsing Yi left by accident.

This road was a shortcut to the Ten Mile Chang Pavilion, where Wu Ziyu saw that blue color again as expected.

He was sitting in the pavilion playing the piano, and a carriage outside the pavilion set off to leave.

Wu Ziyu squatted down on the bench in front of him, but he was so absorbed in playing that he didn't realize that someone was there.

When Tsing Yi played the piano, his aura was completely different from that of just now. The sound of the piano flowed out from his fingers, as if he was the only one in the world, and everything naturally blended with him.Wu Ziyu didn't read many books and couldn't describe how beautiful the pieces played by Tsing Yi were, so he could only express his love for the pieces by listening attentively.

After playing the song, the departing carriage also disappeared from sight.Tsing Yi raised his head and said brightly: "It's you again."

"You also came to Shili Changting to give someone off?"

Wu Ziyu shook his head.

"I met you twice, and I think it's quite a fate. My name is Fanyin, how dare I ask the young master's name?"

Fan Yin.Wu Ziyu thought about these two words carefully, and replied, "Wu Ziyu."

"I remembered, Dancheng, which I just returned to recently, right? No wonder I turned to that small road." Wu Shoubei's second son in the prisoner-of-war camp returned to the city. This incident was widely spread, and Fanyin naturally knew about it. .

Originally thought that Fan Yin would immediately stay away from him, but she didn't want to hear these words.A hint of surprise finally appeared in Wu Ziyu's calm eyes.

"You don't regret saving me?" Shouldn't he turn a blind eye to a monster like him being robbed?

"I said, we are destined." Fanyin's every move always has a calm and noble air, but the next second he raised his guqin like a child offering a treasure and said, "I just gave it to you." My only friend is gone, and now there is no one in Dancheng who can come to listen to me playing the piano, would you like to come and listen to my music?"

"Brother Ziyu?! Brother Ziyu? What are you in a daze for?" Luo Yuhuan leaned closer to Wu Ziyu's ear and shouted.

Only then did Wu Ziyu come back to his senses, and found that Xishan Maogui and all the younger brothers had disappeared.

"I let them go, now you and I need to bring this old woman back to the hut and take away her soul." Seeing that Wu Ziyu was a little confused, Luo Yuhuan explained.

Wu Ziyu nodded, used a teleportation, and brought Luo Yuhuan and the old woman to the hut that Xishan Maogui mentioned.Luo Yuhuan had just placed the old woman on the bed, and she died the next second.

"Are you... impermanent?"

After successfully bringing the old woman's soul to the underworld, Luo Yuhuan explained to her why Mao Gui, that is, the old ghost of Xishan, did not pick her up in the underworld.And Wu Ziyu just waited beside her with Qin in his arms, and only said when Luo Yuhuan sent the old woman back.

"Let's go."

"Aren't you curious about what happened to that old woman and Mao Gui?" Luo Yuhuan laughed as he picked up a piece of grass by the side of the road.

"Not curious."

It was only then that Luo Yuhuan realized that the usual smile on Wu Ziyu's face was gone, and her face turned cold, as if she had lost her soul.

"What's wrong with you? I think you lost your mind as soon as that Qin appeared." Luo Yuhuan pouted the grass in her mouth and grabbed Wu Ziyu's arm, but Wu Ziyu slapped it away.Wu Ziyu, who spoke sarcasticly in the Palace of Hades that day, reappeared.

"I……"
