Doe

Xie Xun frowned slightly, his eyes were puzzled and innocent, "What is Brother Mu talking about?"

"Call me Mu Zhishen." Mu Zhishen took out a scroll from his sleeve, and spread it out in front of Xie Xunwei. It was full of people's names, densely written on one side.Mu Zhishen looked at the piece of paper and said: "Twelve years ago, there was a catastrophe in the Mu family castle. After the Mu family moved the house, the whole house was illuminated with bright lights. One month ago, Chu Yue, the steward of the Shanyin Chu family stationed in Xunzhou, came to visit the house. , Under the bright light, he has no shadow."

Xie Xun smiled slightly, "Oh? Did ghosts sneak into the fairy gate?"

"This ghost behaves as usual. It doesn't kill or bloodthirsty. It's very different from ordinary ghosts. I found that there are ghosts hiding in the fairy gate, and they didn't make any noise. I investigated secretly. I found out that there are 14 ghosts, and they all have one thing in common. That is, I have visited the Hanshan Dojo. Not only that, but I have read the death records of the Jiangzuo Xianmen in the past year. Those who have stayed in the Hanshan Dojo either died suddenly, or died in the battle of killing ghosts, or died of serious diseases. [-]. If my guess is correct, the number of ghosts working for you is limited, and you cannot keep all 'people' alive at the same time, you can only let some people 'die' periodically." Mu Zhishen paused, and finally asked, "No Lie to me, Xie Xunwei, what did you exchange with the ghost, right?"

Xie Xunwei was not flustered when the truth was exposed, and his smile was still warm.He tilted his head to look at Mu Zhishen, "What if I'm right?"

Mu Zhishen raised his eyes, and his eyes suddenly became cold and stern.

"A moth to a flame kills itself."

Xie Xunwei stood up and walked to the window.The snow outside shines through the Li shell window, dim, with a bit of dazzling pearl.Reflected on half of Xie Xunwei's face, his hazy silhouette is beautiful and sad.He said desolately: "Could it be that the Hanshan Dojo is not a furnace? Isn't it the road to perdition to make fun of those men? My father is the lord of the Xie family, and my mother is the noble daughter of the Yu family. The great master taught me scriptures, Master taught me the art. Now that I am not as good as the dust trampled on by others, how can you not hate me? I don’t ask my brother to show mercy, brother Gao Yi, why not pull out your knife and end Xunwei’s life this."

He closed his eyes, and crystal clear teardrops silently slid down his porcelain-like cheeks, hitting the cold floor tiles like a pearl shattering.

The beauty weeps like a begonia in the rain.

No one will not be moved by this scene.

Except Mu Zhishen.

He said lightly: "Put down your needle, you can't beat me."

A silver needle hovered behind his head, only an inch away from the Qiangjian point on the back of his head.

Xie Xun suppressed his smile slightly, and the sad expression just peeled off like gold paint.

"Brother Mu is really a tricky character."

"Say it again, don't call me brother, I don't know you well." Mu Zhishen remained expressionless.

"But you're wrong about one thing." Xie Xun remained motionless like a mountain, but the shadow under his feet was expanding and growing, covering the entire wall and reaching the roof.The shadow behind him is like a ferocious beast, squatting and staring at it.He said softly: "Which one wins and which loses is unknown yet."

Mu Zhi looked at the shadow deeply, and asked, "The art of arresting ghosts and summoning spirits? Where did you learn it?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Xie Xunwei did not answer, but showed a headache, "The fight in the Hanshan Dojo exposed my ghost attendant, and it is very troublesome to deal with those dregs of the fairy sect. So Mu Langjun, I suggest you I passed away peacefully under my silver needle." He smiled softly, "Don't be afraid, it doesn't hurt."

The two looked at each other in silence, Xie Xunwei's smile was gentle yet cruel, and the corners of the bright red lips that were stained with lip balm seemed to be stained with bright blood.However, Mu Zhishen always looks calm, his eyes are quiet gray, deep, and pure, it seems that no amount of vicious ghosts can shake his calmness.

After a while, he lowered his eyes and said: "You are very strong, stronger than I imagined. But you are too young, Xie Xunwei, I can find out that you are a murderer, and others can also find out. You are too eager to kill with one shot." Kill them, but killing them won't save your master."

Xie Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, "How do you know..."

"That night when Baochen Mountain was encircled and suppressed, I was the one who pulled you away from Baili Jueming." Mu Zhishen said, "Everyone ran over to cut his six-petal lotus heart. At that time, I saw your appearance, Painful, sad, angry, wanting to kill everyone. So I pulled you away, and if they saw your face, they would know you were with Cassia Baili, Cassia Baili It is your relatives."

Xie Xun was silent for a while, and he stared at the man in front of him.He didn't know much about Mu Zhishen. He had heard that this man did his own thing and acted alone.Many people are afraid of him, even some elders of Xianmen.He acts without scruples, and people are afraid of such a carefree person, because such a person usually can do anything.

The time that impressed him the most was when he drew his sword at himself four years ago. He exposed the ugly faces of those scum in the Xianmen, and warned Xie Xunwei of the tragedy he was about to face.However, Xie Xunwei was not grateful in his heart, years of suffering made his heart as hard as a stone.Even if this man had helped him before, he would not hesitate to pierce the silver needle into his head.

Mu Zhishen continued: "In the next year, I will gradually clean up these people, and no one will find out that you are the culprit behind it."

"Why help me?" Xie Xun asked slightly.

Mu Zhishen looked down at his palm, "I don't know why I want to help you, just like I can't figure out why people always have to live and die away from their loved ones. When I was young, I always felt that everything was born There, the sky will always be overhead, and the vase will never fade. Father, mother, sister, we will always be together. I found out later that everything will fade from light to darkness, and you will never find it The place."

Xie Xunwei listened quietly, without speaking.

Endless snowflakes fluttered outside the house, and the wind blew across the roof like so many great birds flapping their wings.The two of them clearly only met each other a few times, but the same sadness permeated their bodies.Xie Xun thought the same way when he was young, he would always run among the falling ginkgo leaves in Wuzhong, running along the long corridor, his mother and maids chased after him, calling him to stop.Later, he felt that the master would always be with him. They once leaned on the wide eaves and looked at the stars and made a promise that they would stay with him until he was 80 years old.

But overnight, everything changed.It turns out that life will come to an abrupt end, and it turns out that disasters will come in an instant.

At this moment, Xie Xunwei finally understood that they were the same person.Perhaps it was because of the sympathy for each other, or maybe it was because the rabbit died and the fox was sad, this man named Mu Zhishen extended a helping hand to him.

"What does it feel like to die? Is it like falling asleep? Will they be lonely walking alone in the dark? Xie Xunwei, there are so many ghosts around you, do you know the answer?"

"I don't know." Xie Xunwei replied coldly.He finally let go of all disguises, and faced the unexpected guest with a true attitude, "Mu Zhishen, tell me, why are you here? What are you going to bring to me?"

Mu Zhishen picked up the knife and stood up, as if preparing to leave.

"Tomorrow you can leave the Hanshan Dojo. In exchange for the right to sell ironware in Xunzhou, I made Mrs. Yu promise not to use you for profit again."

"You give away the future of your Mu family."

"It doesn't matter. I won't marry a wife, let alone have children. The Mu family has no future." Mu Zhishen looked at him quietly, "However, I still want to make a deal with you."

"Oh?"

"One day, your ghost servant will be strong enough. On that day, I hope you can lend me a ghost, let it enter the Mu family ghost castle, and draw a map of the ghost castle. In exchange, I will give you Draw the knife three times."

"Draw the knife three times." Xie Xun repeated in a low voice, "Killing people, killing ghosts, anything is fine?"

"Yes." He put a heart lock on the ground, "Xie Xunwei, I hope that one day, you can reunite with your master."

After he finished speaking, he lifted the curtain, pushed open the door, and stepped into the boundless snowstorm.He is obviously the eldest son of the Mu family, the eldest son and the last child of the main family.But there was never a mighty attendant around him, no endless chariots and horses, not even someone who carried a lamp for him.

He comes and goes alone.

Xie Xunwei sat in the blurred lights and watched him go.

Madam Yu fulfilled her promise, partly because Mu Zhishen handed over the right to sell Xunzhou ironware, and partly because the sect of Tiandu Mountain rose and the prestige of the old celestial master Jiang Ruoxu grew day by day.He moisturizes things and rectifies the fairy gate silently, washing away the unhealthy wind.After two years, Xie Xunwei returned to the Yu family mansion in Gusu City.The happiest thing is Yu Fuchun. In the past two years, he has never stopped sending letterheads and gifts to Hanshan Dojo, although Xie Xunwei seldom responds.When Xie Xunwei returned to Yu's house, he finally plucked up the courage to kneel in front of Mrs. Yu and asked for a marriage contract with Xie Xunwei.

Mrs. Yu agreed, and she said to Xie Xunwei: "Thinking of your contribution to my Yu family, I will reserve a place for you as a noble concubine. After Ah Chun's regular wife passes through the door, you can serve in front of Ah Chun."

Xie Xun leaned forward slightly, and responded with a low eyebrow: "Yes."

Madam Yu left, he turned around and saw Yu Fuchun timidly outside the door.Yu Fuchun stepped into the threshold shyly, not knowing where to put his hands.But he finally mustered up his courage and said, "Sister Xunwei, don't worry, I will take good care of you!"

"Yeah." Xie Xun smiled and nodded, his eyelashes drooping, hiding the darker shadows in his eyes.

After countless experiments, his Evil Needle is almost mature. When his silver needle penetrates Chengguang Point and reaches the middle palace of the brain, the fine tip of the needle will connect with the meridians of the brain. The gunpowder in other people's brains, when he snapped his fingers lightly, their heads would explode into gorgeous fireworks.He is still short of one last test object, perfecting his silver needle.

The silver needle approached the back of Yu Fuchun's head silently. He was blushing and talking to himself, not aware of the murderous intent coming with the wind.

"I know, I'm useless, I can't practice swords well, and I can't handle household affairs well. But I will work hard," Yu Fuchun said, "just like you, sister Xunwei."

"Like me?" Xie Xun smiled, "My cousin was joking, Xun Wei is the one who knows nothing."

His fingers flicked the air flow lightly, the fine wind was transmitted, and the silver needle adjusted the direction precisely.

Yu Fuchun shook his head, "You are different, really different." He buried his face, "I know, mother has been treating you badly, you are weak, and she sent you to such a cold mountain. But you Never complained, you always smiled at us, as if you had never suffered. I want to be someone like you, sister Xunwei, just like you, even if you are trudging through the quagmire wearing chains, you will go on desperately."

He paused, an ignorant young man who knew nothing, with a sincere smile.

"Because of this, I really really like Sister Xunwei."

The silver needle hovering behind his head froze, Xie Xun smiled, "Oh? Is it because of this that you like me?"

"Also...not all of them." Yu Fuchun scratched his head, "Sister Xunwei is very beautiful, the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. The first time you came to our house four years ago, I thought I saw a fairy descending from the earth. He blushed and pointed at his fingers, "That... Sister Xunwei, are you willing to marry me? If you don't want to, I'll ask my mother to withdraw the engagement. It doesn't matter, anyway, I haven't served wine yet, and I haven't written a marriage letter." By the way, don't pay attention to what my mother said about concubines. I only marry my younger sister, and when I grind my mother slowly, she will change her mind."

Xie Xunwei looked at him silently, the world is always full of contradictions, Yu's mother is ruthless, but her son is a useless waste.After a while, Xie Xun said softly, "Cousin, don't practice the sword too well."

"Huh?" Yu Fuchun didn't understand.

Xie Xunwei didn't explain, turned around and turned around the bead curtain.

As long as you're always a piece of shit, we won't be enemies.

The sun sinks into the distant mountains, and the world slowly slips into night.Xie Xun leaned on the window drawer slightly, and sat facing the sunset.He lowered his head and awakened the Lianxin lock in his palm.

"Mu Zhishen, do me a favor."

"Kill who?" Mu Zhishen's deep voice came from the other side of the lock.

"There is no need to kill anyone, I want an identity, a man, a doctor. I want to enter Tiandu Mountain."

"it is good."

The evening wind flows quietly, blowing the face icy cold.Xie Xunwei looked at the endless night, the indigo sky was high and far-reaching.

"In addition, when my master returns in the future, if he asks you how I have been in the past few years, you don't have to tell the truth. You just need to tell him that I take good care of myself."

The master seems to be vicious, but in fact he is the most upright. In his life, he hates the crooked and villainous people who are inconsistent with their appearance, and he has never liked the evil spirits of the immortal family.Xie Xunwei had a mocking smile on his lips, and before he knew it, he had become what Master hated the most.He lowered his eyes to look at his palms, he didn't need to know all kinds of pain and all kinds of grievances against Master, he hoped that he would always be the innocent, pure, kind and lovely Xie Xunwei in Master's eyes.

"Understood." The man on the other end of Lian Xinsuo didn't ask the reason, but said calmly, "I wish you good luck, Xie Xunwei."
