Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

Yin Qiu washed his face with hot water, rinsed his mouth, and when he was combing his hair, several maids opened the gauze curtain and walked in, holding several sets of clothes of different colors in their hands. When they saw her, they all smiled .

"My lord is awake? This is what the lord ordered the servants to send. Let me see which one you like?"

Yin Qiu looked at them, a little uncomfortable being served like this, she was hesitating when she heard Nangong Min's voice from one side, saying: "Choose and choose, you should change into clean clothes."

Yin Qiuli stood by the dressing table, looked left and right, and finally pointed to the white dress on the hand of a maid and said, "I want this."

The maid immediately took two steps forward joyfully as if she had received some kind of gift, but Nangong Min waved her hand and said, "Since it's Chinese New Year, you should wear something brighter and change to another one."

Yin Qiu had no choice but to change: "Then..."

"Cyan color is not good either," Nangong Min cut her off again, "Choose again."

Yin Qiu looked at her, and moved his fingers over several maids one by one, and finally landed on the person directly opposite.

Before she could speak, Nangong Min laughed, "Red is good, it's festive."

How could this be her choice?

Yin Qiu slandered in his heart, but acted obediently on the surface, took the red dress handed over by the maid, and changed into it behind the curtain.

The uniforms of Yunhua Palace disciples are mainly plain white, and Yin Qiu has never worn such a gorgeous dress. She looked at herself in front of the bronze mirror a few times, and she was not used to it.

"It's great to wear the same color as my aunt." Nangong patted Yin Qiu's head fondly, "The little doll carved in powder and jade makes people feel bright."

Yin Qiu shrank his neck, avoiding Nangong Min's touch, looked up at her and said, "I'm hungry."

Nangong Min took her hand and walked towards the outer hall, saying gently: "Then have breakfast."

In a blink of an eye, Yin Qiu had been in the Ziwei Sect for several days. During this period, Nangong Min loved her very much, like a gentle elder. He not only sent a few maids to serve Yin Qiu, but also personally gave her Put on her clothes, comb her hair, and take good care of her.

If he hadn't remembered what evil things this person had done, Yin Qiu would have almost forgotten that she was the leader of the Demon Cult many times, and almost got close to her.

You can't take it lightly, except for the uncle, no one will treat you well for no reason.

Yin Qiu beat himself silently in his heart, and silently withdrew the hand held by Nangong Min.

The two had breakfast together, and Nangong Min took Yin Qiu out of the main hall to play again. Unlike Yunhua Palace, the Ziwei Sect was not built on a high mountain, but was located in a low basin, surrounded by Surrounded by high mountains, there is a natural barrier to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the scenery here is also very different from Yunhua Mountain. Although there are no beautiful mountains and forests, there are dangerous mountains and strange gorges, and there are many mountains. With a unique splendor.

This is Yin Qiu's first time to go out after coming to Ziwei Sect. Seeing all kinds of wonders, she can't help but feel enlightened, and the accumulated melancholy in her heart is relieved a lot. She subconsciously wants to cheer with the people around her, and immediately remembers standing sideways. It wasn't Man Jiangxue, so she immediately suppressed the smile on her face and stood upright.

Seeing this, Nangong Min bent his lips into a smile and asked, "Why, did you think of Man Jiangxue?"

Yin Qiu glanced at her, but said nothing.

Nangong Min said: "Then I might as well tell you some good news, how about it?"

Yin Qiu said, "What good news?"

Nangong Min said, "Call me Auntie first, and I'll tell you when I do."

Yin Qiu's face was full of resistance.

"It's about Man Jiangxue," Nangong Min looked at her, "Don't you want to hear it?"

Yin Qiu slightly raised his eyelashes, but still remained silent.

"It's fine if you don't call." Nangong Min didn't force her.

Yin Qiu thought for a while, then tentatively said, "Can't you tell me first?"

Nangong Min smiled: "No."

Yin Qiu struggled for a while, but finally because Man Jiangxue was defeated, he called out as thin as a mosquito's feet: "Auntie..."

Nangong Min leaned closer to her, and smiled comfortably: "What?"

Yin Qiu bit his lip and said angrily, "Auntie!"

"Not sincere enough," Nangong Min deliberately teased her, "How did you call her uncle in front of Man Jiangxue?"

Yin Qiu thought in his heart, can you compare with Master Uncle?But still endured the discomfort and said as softly as possible: "Auntie."

Only then did Nangong Min show satisfaction, and said, "I got a letter from Feige this morning, saying that Man Jiangxue left Yunhua Palace overnight, probably to save you."

Yin Qiu's eyes lit up immediately.

"Don't be too happy," Nangong Min said, "She only brought Ji Wanshu here, so she doesn't care about my Ziwei sect."

After Yin Qiu heard this, the little joy just now dissipated without a trace.

Nangong Min would know about Man Jiangxue's whereabouts, and someone from Yunhua Palace must have tipped her off, so she would definitely set up a net to wait for Man Jiangxue.

Uncle Shi only brought Senior Sister Ji alone. If he wanted to fight against Ziwei Sect, wouldn't it be like hitting a stone with an egg?

Yin Qiu suddenly didn't want her to come.

But if she doesn't come, how should he leave?

"She should have come," Nangong Min plucked a green leaf and said playfully, "She failed to save your mother back then, but now, she will save you even if she tries her best."

Yin Qiu looked at her sideways, and couldn't help asking: "Why did you kill Ruyi's family back then?"

Nangong Min chuckled: "It's not that simple? Disputes between the rivers and lakes, you deal with me, I deal with you, no one is innocent, if I don't deal with Ruyimen, they will unite with Yunhua Palace to deal with it sooner or later I."

Yin Qiu was silent.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Nangong Min said again: "I was 13 years old when I took the throne." She reached out and gestured on the top of Yin Qiu's head, "I was still a child like you, and the old head of Yunhua Palace hadn't passed away at that time." , she wanted to wipe out the Ziwei Sect while I was still fledgling, and almost killed me several times, plus your mother worshiped in Yunhua Palace and was the chief disciple, and Yunhua Palace and Ruyimen even got closer, The power is growing, if I want them to fall apart, I can only start with your mother, fortunately, after several years of planning, my wish has come true, otherwise today, I am afraid that I have already been reincarnated, and I don’t know where to play with mud.”

Yin Qiu was quiet for a while, then asked again: "Then how did you find my father? You also recognized him as a foster brother."

Nangong Min sighed softly: "Your father? He is a miserable man."

Yin Qiu had already heard about mother's life story, but she still knew little about father, so she asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"He grew up in Ruyimen when he was young," Nangong Min said as he walked, leading Yin Qiu slowly on the mountain road, "The Yins and his wife are the stewards of Ruyimen. Yes, they were harmed by someone, and both of them became dumb and blind disabled people. Your father was young and should have entered school to study well, but because your parents were disabled and couldn't take care of themselves, they became a child in Ruyimen. As a low-level handyman, I can support a family of three with that little monthly money."

·

At that time Yin Xuan was only six or seven years old, not as tall as a sapling in the yard.

Before the Yin and his wife had an accident, the couple kept their duties and were the stewards in charge of the subordinates. They managed all the affairs of the Shen family in an orderly manner, and were praised by the Shen family. In addition, their son Yin Xuan studied hard and had a stable temper. Although the family background is not good, they are better than the children of rich families, so the three members of Yin's family can be regarded as well-known in Ruyimen.

However, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. One day, Yin Xuan returned to the private courtyard after school, but saw his father and mother bleeding from the seven orifices, and fell unconscious on the ground. He asked the doctor to see that they were the same After being poisoned, although his life was saved, he suffered from eye diseases and dumb diseases.

The family suffered such a catastrophe, Yin Xuan was heartbroken, and the six gods had no master. The old master of the Shen family did not find out who did it after several months of investigation. The couple screamed anxiously about that person's name, and refused to write it down.

Once he loses power, he was so glorious and respected in the past, but since then he has been desolate and disgusted by others.

In the beginning, the Shen family could still care about the old feelings and support the three members of the Yin family, but as time went by, they didn't want to care about it anymore. After all, who would want to support two useless people?Yin Xuan had no choice but to give up his studies and work as a handyman to earn a living. Life was extremely difficult. After a few months like this, one night, the Yins and his wife suddenly hanged themselves with white silk, and the bones of their parents were still there. Before restraining himself, Yin Xuan was maliciously framed again, saying that he stole money and was beaten down the mountain by a few servants, thus becoming a helpless orphan.

"When I first met him, he worked as a servant for the boss in a restaurant." Nangong Min picked a clean stone bench and sat down, his tone so light that no emotions could be heard, "Father took me to a banquet. We were a group of ten When there are many people eating, drinking and having fun, your father will rush after the boss, and he will do whatever he is told to do."

Speaking of this, she frowned slightly, took Yin Qiu's shoulders and hugged her in her arms, and continued: "At that time, my father was seriously ill and hadn't been around for a few years, so I called the head of another sect to discuss the matter. They took care of me more in the future. There was an old man in the banquet, over 60 years old. I don’t remember who he was. He said it was okay to take care of me, but he fell in love with a boy in this building and asked my father Give it to him as a thank you gift."

Xu Shi Nangong Min's expression gradually became heavy while he was talking, Yin Qiu didn't push her away, but when he heard this, his heart moved, and he said, "He has a crush on my father?"

Nangong Min sneered: "Is your father attractive?"

Yin Qiu's eyes showed doubts.

Nangong Min looked at her and said, "Some old men just like good-looking little boys, and keep them in the house as male pets, understand?"

Yin Qiu's face changed, and he said in shock: "He, he is treating my father..."

Nangong Min put his index finger in front of his lips, and said "shh", "But my father didn't agree."

Yin Qiu was dull for a moment: "And then?"

"Then the old man lost his temper in public," Nangong Min said, "and then, my father stabbed him with a sword and killed him."

"Perhaps everyone thinks that the Ziwei Cult is a demon sect, but in my eyes, there is no distinction between black and white in this world, but they all seek their own way of life for their own interests," Nangong Min said again, "The old man is dead. No one else dared to speak out, so my father called your father to him for questioning. After learning about his background, he brought him back to the Ziwei Sect, and practiced literature and martial arts with me. After a while In [-], my father officially adopted him as a foster son, and we became siblings."

Unexpectedly, his father had such a life experience, Yin Qiu didn't expect it, and was shocked.

And she also understood at this moment why her father pretended to approach her mother to help Ziwei teach to destroy Ruyimen.

Even if he was as young as Yin Qiu, after hearing these things, he could guess that the Yin couple must have been murdered by someone from the Ruyi Gate, so how could Yin Xuan himself not know?He lost his parents and suffered all kinds of humiliation. For him, the Ziwei Cult was like a way out in a desperate situation, giving him hope and a chance for revenge.

"It's just a pity that your father really fell in love with Shen Mandong in the end," Nangong Min said, "No matter how talented your mother is, she is still a woman, and she is a weak woman who just gave birth to a child. How about your father?" Can't beat her? It's just that he is willing to put his life in her hands and seek his own death."

After she finished speaking, there was a little subtlety in her laughter, like sarcasm and self-mockery.

All the painstaking efforts were in vain in the end, the great revenge was rewarded, but the person who passed away was gone after all and could not return, but the pain caused by hatred could not stop abruptly, on the contrary, it involved more helplessness and regret .

Getting along day and night, the hypocrisy also becomes real day after day, not to mention such a person who attracts everyone's attention, just mentioning her name, everyone will praise her with the word "good".

The more people live in the dark corners, the more they yearn for those glamorous existences. If one day they really reach out and touch them, how can they not cherish them?

But there is no arrow to turn back when you open the bow, and there is no choice to go back and go again in life.

·

The cold wind came across the valley, carrying the lingering frost, and when it hit the tip of the nose, it seemed to be scented with unknown flowers.

Yin Qiu once thought that her father was a ruthless villain as described by outsiders, so since she knew her life experience, she would still miss her mother, but for her father, she seldom thought of him.

But now that he learned of his past, Yin Qiu suddenly felt an indescribable sadness.

Dad... what kind of person is he?

But she has no way of knowing.

The conversation ended here, both of them fell silent, and neither of them spoke again.

After a long time, Yin Qiu took a deep breath and said: "But since you said that you don't think the holy sword must be in my mother's hands, why did you arrest me and bring me to the Ziwei sect?"

Nan Gongmin said: "All uncertain things must be clarified. I don't know if your mother is alive or dead, so I have to investigate all the more. If she is really alive, you are the only one who can lure her right now." come out."

Yin Qiu looked at her, and Nan Gongmin said again: "Besides, you are my niece in name, why not bring you to the Ziwei Sect? In Yunhua Palace, there is no one who is really your relative."

Yin Qiu was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "No, there is also my uncle."

Nangong Min said, "Do you think you can stay by her side forever?"

"If my uncle doesn't get married..."

"What if she is married?"

"If you get married..."

Yin Qiu thought about it for a while, and his mood became chaotic for a moment: "Master uncle said that even if she gets married, she will not leave me alone."

Nangong Min didn't say yes or no when he heard this, but just looked at Yin Qiu indifferently.

Although she didn't speak, Yin Qiu was still stared at by her eyes. Yin Qiu broke away from Nangong Min's arms, got up and said, "Even if I can't stay with my uncle forever, I don't want to stay with you." Ziwei teaches."

"Why?" Nangong Min looked at her, "You are just an ordinary disciple in Yunhua Palace, but you stay in Ziwei Sect, but you are a noble little master. Even the four guardians have to bow their knees when they see you. Such treatment, Can Man Jiangxue give it to you?"

"Uncle Master can't give it to me," Yin Qiu said, "but that's not what I want either."

Nangong Min asked, "Then what do you want?"

Yin Qiu was a little dazed, and after a pause, he said, "I want... to stay with Master Uncle all the time."

The snow covered the mountains and forests like fluff, and the snow scene was reflected in Nangong Min's eyes, like a piece of cold moonlight. She straightened up, looked down at Yin Qiu and said, "If I say, your father left a last word before the accident. , do you want me to bring you up and never let you come into contact with people from Yunhua Palace?"

Yin Qiu was stunned: "Did he say that?"

Nangong Min nodded slightly.

She must not be asked to contact Yunhua Palace?Why?

"Although the Holy Sword is important, it doesn't have to be you to find it," Nangong Min said indifferently, "The reason why I brought you back is to remember your father's last words."

Yin Qiu was dubious: "Really?"

Nangong Min chuckled, "Is it good to lie to you?"

"But I have already met my uncle," Yin Qiu said, "Besides, since my father told you, why didn't you bring me back?"

"I really want to," Nangong Min said, "but I searched the entire Liucang Mountain and I can't find you. You have been hidden. Some people don't want you to fall into the hands of Ziwei Sect or Yunhua Palace, understand?"

Yin Qiu was surprised.

In fact, she has thought about this question countless times. Since she survived the Ruyimen incident, why did no one notice her?How did it end up on the street?

She also asked Man Jiangxue, but Man Jiangxue didn't know.

"To tell you the truth, even if Yunhua Palace is willing to exchange the holy sword for you, I will not let you go," Nangong Min said, "You have nothing to do with Yunhua Palace, Shen Mandong is just a disciple of Yunhua Palace Forget it, after all, she is from the Ruyi Sect, and your father is from my Ziwei Sect, and now that the Ruyi Sect no longer exists, you should stay at the Ziwei Sect instead of going to Yunhua Palace.”

Yin Qiu frowned, and said a little stiffly: "But I have grown up, you are actually just strangers to me, don't I have the right to choose my own destination?"

"Not really," Nangong Min smiled a bit narrowly, "At least not yet."

Yin Qiu said: "If it was my uncle, she would not force me to do anything. You are not as nice to me as she is."

Nangong Min said: "No matter how nice she is to you, she is still an outsider. I am your aunt, and I will give you as much as you want."

Yin Qiu was speechless for a while, and felt that Nangong Min was really domineering and unreasonable, but she didn't know how to refute it for a while, and it was useless to refute.

"If you stay a few more days, you will know that Ziwei's teaching is good." Nangong Min patted her on the back of the neck, speaking softly, "Auntie will treat you better than Man Jiangxue, you might as well wait and see."

Yin Qiu narrowed his eyes, did not express his opinion, and fell silent again.
