Crown Sword

Hua Pipa laughed dryly: "I'm an ordinary person, of course I only want money."

This unintentional sentence, on the contrary, made Shuang Li feel a little stagnant when he thought that he was as greedy for money as this old woman.

"Money can enlighten the mind, and maybe it can buy back the sincerity." Hua Pipa looked at herself and felt sorry for herself, but also recalled the past.

At that time, she was just a [-]-year-old girl, and she was in love with her childhood sweetheart and tied the knot.But the poor and lowly couples are sad about everything, and they have agreed to live forever, but in exchange for hearing the king's two opinions.The husband changed his mind and took her in. She was jealous and hated, so she slashed the woman's face with a knife.

When the husband heard about it, he was startled and angry, and not only stabbed her in the eye with the knife, but also sold her to Hualou.

In order to survive, Hua Pipa has been with many people, done a lot of evil, saved some money to redeem herself, and learned some martial arts to defend herself.Sometimes when she dreams back in the middle of the night, she will stubbornly think, maybe tea, rice, oil and salt have crushed her sincerity. If one day she returns home rich and powerful, will she be able to buy him a change of heart with gold and silver?

This story didn't appeal to Shuang Li, but it made a simple, silly girl like Yan Ning tear up, and was soon bewildered by this old woman.

Shuang Li interrupted: "Hey, where is the dog boss?"

Hua Pipa was a little displeased, but she pretended to be kind: "Who knows? Maybe you want everything."

"Big man." Yan Ning raised his head and poked Yasha's arm with his index finger.

Ziyi Yasha patted his thigh and smiled heartily: "Me? I don't have anything special to ask for. It's fine now, it's so warm."

"Warm?" Even Hua Pipa was at a loss for words.

Yasha scratched his head stupidly: "When I was a child, I was late and I couldn't speak at the age of three, so I was thrown away by my family in the grass ditch under the bridge. Later, I wandered around. Because of my big size, I went to the casino to show people the scene, and I almost missed it once. I was beaten to death. The boss saved me, so I followed him, taking care of food and drink, he was like an old father."

"Damn it, is there anyone in this world who is willing to be someone else's son?" Because of the similar background, Shuang Li felt a little sympathetic at first, but when he heard about it later, he was furious.

How can relatives be so shouting and shouting, bowing their heads?

There are more than two Yasha Gaogou bosses, but when they speak, they don't bend down and bow their heads.If the little old man was satisfied, he stretched out his hand and pinched the back of his neck, that kind of contempt and arrogance, just like pinching an animal.With this behavior and attitude, it is clear that he is raising a dog. Perhaps in his eyes, people are not as good as dogs.

Gongyang is ten years older than her, and she can be regarded as being brought up by one hand. Although there are occasional bickerings, in her heart, she regards the other party as a tie.

Hua Pipa frowned, and felt incredible: "It's that simple?" Then, taking advantage of the old dog's unawareness, he secretly took Yasha's hand and stroked it, "From now on, big sister will protect you, we are also relatives." After finishing speaking , and took off the bracelet on one of his arms, and handed it over, "This hidden weapon is a pair, I give you one, so as to save your life."

A big man like Yasha was tearful on the spot.

Pooh!Is this flower pipa a kind-hearted person? I'm afraid this armband is not life-saving, but death-death!

Shuang Li gritted her teeth, thinking how could a person be so cheap, and immediately muttered eloquently: "It seems that there are not only multiple fathers, but also multiple mothers." But after the sarcasm, she felt her nose sore again, turned her back to the stone wall, Hold your head up and keep your tears from flowing.

Yan Ning was puzzled, and stretched out his arms to gently hug her: "Isn't this very good?"

"It's good."

For a little girl who has no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and was held in the palm of her hand, she certainly feels very good.

After half a stick of incense, the five of them set off and continued to go deeper.During the period, Yan Ning accidentally lost his way and found a small hole with a rope hanging on it. Several people discussed and slid along to the next floor.

When I landed, I saw that the stone house was full of things.There are everything from pear wood couch with three screens, mirror table, and box, to small wooden scorpion and wooden bed.Looking down, there are still some sundries piled on the ground, which are all popular things in the past; looking up, there is a shell curtain hanging from the top, and the bells jingle with the wind.

It is clean but reveals a kind of warmth. Anyone who looks at it will know that it is the boudoir of the daughter's family.

In the middle there is a table with rolled ears, on which there seems to be a platter with edges and corners. The old dog pushed the pipa and said, "Go, take a look."

The more normal the place, the more weird it is.

Although Hua Pipa is greedy for money, she doesn't want to repeat the mistakes made by Hu Ersheng, not to mention what kind of treasure a shallow dish can be, and it may even be equipped with organs.So, she put on a look of embarrassment, and looked pitifully at Yasha behind her.

"I'll do it." Yasha stepped forward, stepped on the mat, picked up the shallow plate, and shook it.Everyone could only hear the tinkling and clanging inside, as if beads were colliding.

The dog boss narrowed his eyes: "The bead pendant?"

Yan Ning asked curiously: "What is the bead pendant?"

The dog boss didn't answer, and it was Shuangli who explained: "It's a kind of lock key, made by Shu Ying, the No.18 master of the Gongshu Mansion, who is known as 'the wonderful hand mending the sky'. It is said that there are 36 beads in the niche. When twisting the yin-yang fish, the eighteen beads on the left-hand yang plate will roll into different positions first, and each position is equipped with an iron piece, and because the beads are made of different materials, they will make different sounds when they hit."

Yasha spun as she said, and it did.

"Push the yin plate again, there are corresponding eighteen beads in it, and people have to listen to the sound and match them, and correspond with them by hand, and put them in the shaoyin position one by one before the lock can be unlocked." Shuang Li said again, "But I heard that this thing is very expensive. It is a grind, one bead is wrong and the whole disc is full of mistakes, and then it is no longer used as a lock key, I want to put it here, probably for entertainment."

Judging from the position of the ball cushions on both sides of the short table, it should be two people playing.Perhaps a friend of Yu Linzhou was very afraid of boredom, so he collected a lot of interesting things to distract him.

Yasha fiddled with it, but found nothing. The dog boss went forward and grabbed the bead pendant, threw it on the wall, and walked out of the stone house with his hands behind his back.

The leader made a statement, and the others dared not talk too much, so they could only follow honestly.

The dog boss began to be dissatisfied. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he showed his emotions to people with practical actions.Shuang Li knew that Hua Pipa would move the knife soon, and also understood that Yasha and Yan Ning had a very good relationship, and they were taken care of along the way, but she couldn't say a word, and she couldn't bear it even if she couldn't bear it.

Yasha and Laoer Gou are inseparable, and no one has a chance. Only by letting Hua Pipa, a stupid woman, do something about it, can there be a possibility of creating internal strife.

Soon, they turned into the ring road and walked to the end, just as the stone wall blocking the road turned over, they entered a slightly wider corridor.

The road ahead was a bit gloomy, with a musty smell mixed with blood.

The dog boss threw stones to ask for directions, and the ground turned out sharp knives and dark stabs one after another.The bricks are moving, flipping one after another, and people must pass quickly.It is easy for one person to break through, but if there are many people, the change of the transfer board will be complicated and disorderly. How to pass and how to arrange the positions need to be considered in the long run.

Waiting for the old man to meditate, Hua Pipa and Yasha scattered around to find a way, trying to find another way.

I don't know if this place is too weird, but after a while, Hua Pipa injured her legs and feet.The first person who found it was Yasha, who kindly helped her back, but when she got close, Hua Pipa pushed her away, begging him not to tell the dog boss, if the sharp knife is the only way, I am afraid that if I say it, the dog boss will abandon it regardless of.

Yasha understood her difficulties, and he really agreed without speaking to anyone.

Not long after, the old dog in yellow figured out the rules, threw Yan Ning to Yasha, gave the double carp to Hua Pipa, and led the way by himself.Hua Pipa's leg is inconvenient, and it's hard to protect herself, let alone take someone with her.

Immediately Yasha stepped forward again and took Shuangli over.

The dog boss took a look and said nothing.

The mechanism moves quickly, but as long as you don't make a mistake in one breath, it is easy to pass safely.After walking more than halfway, seeing that the exit was in front of him, Hua Pipa suddenly let out a groan, and took half a step, and when he turned back, his legs and feet were too late to keep up.

At the moment, falling behind the team is death, and being caught by the old dog is death, Yasha couldn't bear it, and relied on brute force, he threw the two girls in front of him first, and went back to bring a flower pipa.Unexpectedly, Hua Pipa panicked, her hands and feet were entangled, and she looked in the direction that the old dog turned back, which was very affectionate.

In this way, both of them will die, Yasha's heart swelled, and he carried them on his shoulders.Just short of the last step, Hua Pipa exclaimed: "How can you do this, let me down!" Then, she pulled out her hairpin, grasped it in the palm of her hand, and stabbed Yaksha's shoulder.The severe pain made him release his strength, and the woman in red kicked the man with both legs, and flew backwards in an instant with a grinning grin.

Seeing her landing, Yasha knew those beautiful legs, but there was no problem at all.

"flower……"

Regardless of being injured, Yasha stretched out his hand angrily.The dog boss in front turned around with a knife, stabbed in the heart, and killed the person: "Why, my girl, you dare to make up your mind?"

Yasha stared in horror.

The dog boss pushed the knife an inch further, until the person died: "Next time, will you still have my idea? Dog!"

----

Gong Yangyue fell down together, clutching the clothes behind Chao Chen's heart, lifted him up, and swayed and landed on a swing frame.Two people stand side by side, each holding on to a rope.

This cloud platform is different from others, it is not as big as a stone room, and a dead tree is planted on it. The tree does not bloom or bear fruit, and it is covered with golden feathers.The swing is attached to the tree trunk, but the tree trunk sticks out of the cloud platform, and there is no path under the feet, only a bottomless hole.

When the two of them flew over, there was a breeze, and the feathers on the tree fluttered down like rain.

only--

"How long are we going to stand here?"

"You can jump down." Gong Yangyue lifted his chin outwards, loosened his legs, and sat down on the board, with his left leg curled and his right leg swinging out.

The surroundings of this cloud platform are bare, there is neither a cloud bridge nor a flying pavilion, only a rope ladder hanging on the stone wall diagonally opposite, but there is some distance away, and there is no stepping stone for Gong Yangyue to take him. To hold on, you can only wait for the mechanism to rotate and turn the ladder to the front.

Right now it's really a dilemma.

Considering the possibility of successfully pushing Gongyangyue down by surprise and the death situation, as well as the probability of his own escape, Chao Chen chose to sit next to him: "How do you know it's an hour?"

"My guess."

"You guessed it?" Chao Chen asked back, unwilling to believe it anyway, he could be evenly matched with his own analysis by guessing.

Gong Yangyue took a funny look and shook his head: "Forget it, you are such an old-fashioned person, you must have no feelings, so it's okay to tell you. Look at that rope ladder."

Chao Chen asked, "What's wrong?"

"It hangs from the top, and the bottom is exactly level with us."

"so what?"

"It means that even if you climb the ladder, you can only go up and go back to the place we passed just now," Gong Yangyue slowly raised his finger, and there was a slight crack at the top of the rope ladder, which could be pierced through with brute force, and then, He said leisurely again, "You said that there is only one road, the ring road, but you see, in this tower, up and down, in fact, you can go up and down, there is more than one way, as long as you find it with your heart. The trough should also have other uses, but I was busy on the road at the time, and I didn’t have the leisure to explore it, but I found it after walking a few more floors, and there are many places that are so strange and unexplainable.”

Chao Chen was silent.

The rest of the people are either like old dogs in yellow, who only covet the treasures of the base, and hurry along;

Gong Yangyue said again: "There is also the organ where I pushed you."

"how?"

"The design mechanism is nothing more than sweeping out outsiders and teaching those who cross the thunder pool to die. Since it is a deadly place, the flying needle and back arrow should be extremely fast. Yu Linzhou has high martial arts, and his lightness skill is not weak. Let him follow his own standards , there are not many people in the world who can escape. I pushed you and pulled you, no matter how fast your reaction is, you should still lack arms and legs, but you didn't..." After finishing speaking, Gong Yangyue swept down his clothes glanced.

Chao Chen pointed at him, not knowing whether to be happy or angry: "Okay, you are really tempting me."

"Shh, be quiet, don't interrupt." Gong Yangyue held his sleeves, squinted his eyes and made a silent movement, gently brushed his fingertips away, and leaned towards the door.

Sitting sideways, Chao Chen instinctively leaned back until his back was against the swing rope and there was no way to retreat. He could only watch Gong Yangyue brush a falling feather from his nose and blow it away gently.

In an instant, my heart seemed to be tightly clenched.

"I don't think so, but I speculate that it's just a game, a game for practicing hand-eye reaction, just like the hidden hook I played with you in the Dunhuang black market." Gong Yangyue continued, looking at Chao Chenhuang, his fingers were on the two of them. He tapped on the empty board in between, "Hey, which girl do you want?"

Chao Chen glared, but said nothing.

"Oh, you're not thinking of me, are you?"

Chao Chen opened his mouth, wanting to give himself two mouths: You stayed here to take revenge, how could you be fooled by the enemy's slick tongue?

After listening to the second half of Gong Yangyue's sentence, he even wanted to give himself a mouth——

"Are you wondering if you can push the damn Ram Moon down from here, can you fall to your death?"

Chao Chen said expressionlessly, "Go ahead."

Gongyangyue smiled and stopped joking: "This tower is just a child's play in Yu Linzhou. It is a bit better than ordinary bamboo horses, flying cars, paper kites, etc. I guess, in the adventures at sea, there are not only wall carvings The battle of the stormy waves, the battle of fighting beasts, there must be like-minded partners with them to pass the boring time in the vast expanse of miles. And among these old friends, there are many people with a heart like a child who once built a pocket tower, in which Add a wonderful organ."

"I see," Chao Chen nodded, "it's like the nine-layer box made by Gongshu Mansion. The box has nine layers, like a platform, which can be dismantled and reassembled. Each layer has different mechanisms. The only difference between the two lies in one One is used to store locks and keys, and the other is for people to play with."

"So, going back to the original question, if I were Yu Linzhou, I would use the twelve hours to correspond to December, one change to January, one day to one year." With a flick of his sleeves, the white feathers all over his body fluttered again, and the ram and the moon turned. Staring at Chao Chen's clear eyes, he sighed word by word, "I just don't know whether to live like a year or to live like a day."

Drifting and sinking at sea for twenty years, although it was bloody and bloody, life and death, but if there is a confidant for company, I am afraid it will be nothing more than a snap of the fingers.The most bitter thing is that after parting, I will die alone, guarding the playthings of the past, and living the days like years.

Chao Chen suddenly felt desolate.

Gongyang Yue wanted to drink with his head up, and searched for his waist, but found that he forgot to bring the wine, so he laughed silently.When he looked up, he met Chao Chen Zhuozhuo's eyes, and he suddenly understood that the "an hour" was actually a pun, and there was another question, asking why he could estimate it so accurately without engraving the sundial.

"If you have the mentality that the days feel like years, you can count the rising and setting of the sun and the setting of the moon, and you will know how long an hour is." Gongyang Yue lowered his head, and slowly stretched his fingers across the discolored red dress.That feeling is unforgettable, so hard to forget that no matter how long it has passed, I can count it accurately.

Chao Chen asked, "Have you ever had one?"

"Yes," Gong Yangyue said with a smile, "I really want to die."
