Hypocrites

Leaving the dark street, the spring sun shines on the earth again.The more you go to the south to open up the land, the willows and willows, the plums and apricots are blooming, and the mountain peaches bloom into a thin red mist of flowers.

The gurgling water flows along the Nanlu into the city moat, nourishing this precious soil.It seems that the vitality lost from Donglu is all attracted to this place.

Shen Yu and Liang Heng had nothing to do, walked around in the direction pointed by his wife.

All the way, peaches and apricots become forests, with luxuriant branches and leaves.Listening to Shen Yu talking about how the Qiu Mansion and Lu Yuanye in the suburbs are also known as the best places to watch flowers, Liang Heng vaguely remembered this rumor, but he had never been to the Qiu Mansion, and presumably most ordinary people in the capital city would not have the chance to get it. See Qiu Fu's true face.I am afraid that the spring scenery in the garden can't be closed, and the scenery beyond the walls and roofs has already made the world's little knowledge and imagination.

Standing on the taller tower in the village, peeking at the interior of Qiu's mansion, it can also be called appreciating flowers, but it looks shabby.

After walking for a while, I suddenly saw a piece of brocade spread out in the flower forest in front of me as if to dry.From a distance, it is a piece of pink satin, but when you look closely, you can see that it is embroidered with pale red flowers on the plain ground, clustered in clusters, and the brocade spreads a foot high, far exceeding the top of the head.

"Who put the quilt here to dry?" Liang Heng asked curiously.

The brocade stretches toward the depths of the forest, not knowing where it leads.During the intertwining, the light leakage gap between the canopies is also filled, and the light in the forest is dimmed. The sunlight passes through the brocade and dyes a layer of red, which is confused with white apricot and red peach, making people dazzled.

The further you go into the depths, you will be surrounded by brocades on all sides, and the passage to walk is extremely cramped.

The atmosphere is eerie and coquettish.

Liang Heng was obviously fascinated, and admired the flowers on the brocade and the flowers on the branches, full of praise.

"Don't wander around." Shen Yu reminded him.For some reason, this forest is like a labyrinth, dedicated to confusing people.

Liang Heng's voice came from the back of the brocade: "Look at the embroidered surface, it's neither peach blossom nor apricot flower, what is it embroidered on?"

Hearing this, Shen Yu also took a closer look, the embroidery on the brocade was only slightly reddish like a mouse's nose, shy and angry, and the flowers were delicate and beautiful.When it comes to safflower, it is nothing more than peach, apricot, acacia, and camellia, but this embroidery is not the same.

Suddenly Deng Yang's words were still ringing in his ears - "Qiu Qianli's mansion is full of roses, known as the hedge of thorns".

It turned out that it was not planted with roses, but embroidered with roses.Brocade was used as a fence to enclose several hectares of fertile soil in Qiu Mansion.Very elegant.Shen Yu suddenly realized that they had unknowingly entered the territory of the Qiu Mansion!

"Your Highness!"

Nearby, Liang Heng responded, but the heavy brocade fence and flowers and trees separated the two of them, Liang Heng was surrounded by flower demons without anyone noticing.

"Where are you?!" Shen Yu had a vague premonition, and strode towards the source of the sound.Liang Heng didn't realize it, he was still enjoying the flowers: "It's here, what's the matter? You came to see this peach tree, it's really rare that there are two trees growing from the same root."

The four corners of Jinwei are tied to the tree trunk, one section after another, forming an airtight wall.The way he came from has already disappeared among the similar trees and silks, Shen Yu circled around, but couldn't find Liang Heng's figure, and turned farther and farther away.

"Shen Yu?" Liang Heng also began to feel that something was wrong, "Where are you?"

His voice became quieter, which meant that Shen Yu was going in the wrong direction.However, walking around, only hearing his voice but not seeing his person.

"Don't wander around where you are!" Shen Yu shouted.Otherwise, both of them will be wandering through the maze, and it will be more difficult to find someone

However, even Liang Heng's reply could not be heard now.Only his own voice echoed in Jinwei's cage.

Shen Yu's heart was very different, he really didn't understand why Qiu Qianli created such a complicated maze in his mansion.

After going back a few steps, a white figure appeared in front of him, and Shen Yu rushed to meet him: "Why are you here..."

Before he finished speaking, the man turned around, but it wasn't Liang Heng.

Among the safflower bushes, the young man was wearing a thin and transparent gauze, the blue hair was stretched to the ground, his skin was as white as fat, and the gentle wind blowing made the young man sway and sway like a peach tree.

Shen Yu: "..."

When the young man saw someone, he was frightened out of his wits at first, he didn't want any graceful appearance, and immediately screamed with tears running down his cheeks.

Shen Yu hurriedly said: "Sorry, I entered this place by mistake..."

Seeing Shen Yu's appearance clearly, the man let out a breath of anger, but before he could relax, his soft, willow-like eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of something, and let out a horrific scream!Turn around and run away!

Shen Yu was bewildered and ignorant, trying to catch up at a loss——

It was a gust of wind blowing close to the ear, and the sound of the silk being torn was crisp and sharp.A large ring knife split through the blocking brocade, and cut into the ground against the toe of Shen Yu's boot.

Then came a pair of hands, a pair of legs, and a strong man about [-] feet broke out from the other side of Jinwei.The muscles under the leggings stretched, and when he stepped on the ground, the ground trembled.The big ring knife came out from the soil, shook off the fishy mud spots, and chased and killed the fleeing boy in an instant.

The blade sliced ​​through the brocade all the way, chasing until the boy's scream pierced his throat.

Shen Yu touched his waist, it was empty.When he was studying, he had to go to the Chu Palace, and he never admired the Second Association.

Even if Monk Zhang Er was confused, he couldn't ignore the scene of chasing and killing.Shen Yu ran after him, and the young man ran for his life quickly, only to see a white shadow in the front, scurrying from side to side, disappearing into the depths of the maze in the blink of an eye.

The strong man couldn't catch up, so he slashed at the peach tree to vent his anger, and the sharp edge cut deep into the trunk.All of a sudden, the entire peach grove shook together, and screams of fear spread everywhere, one after another!

It looks like the chaser and the chased, not just the two in front of me!

Shen Yu was in the middle, and immediately realized that this place was not a beautiful place for viewing flowers, but a slaughterhouse.

The strong man with the saber turned around and saw Shen Yu, regardless of whether he was indifferent or not, he slashed at his head with a saber, and Qi Huan rattled on the back of the saber.Shen Yu dodged it and tripped the strong man to the ground with a sweeping leg.As early as in the chase, he could see clearly that although this person was burly and terrifying, his movements were very sluggish.

The strong man only knew how to swing a knife, but Shen Yu grabbed his wrist and twisted his bones. The steel knife fell to the ground, and he knelt and strangled the sides of his neck. His eyes were bloodshot, his mouth was babbling, and he passed out foaming. past.

Shen Yu picked up the steel knife, and heard someone yelling for help from a distance away.His voice was so hoarse that he couldn't tell if it was Liang Heng.He couldn't care less, he broke the brocade enclosure and rushed away, Shen Yu's scalp went numb at the thought of Liang Heng making any mistakes.

The person who was hunted down was limp on the ground, and the hunter had already stabbed him in the neck.

"Please, please..."

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the pursuer's wrist broke under Shen Yu's blade, and the steel knife fell to the ground with the severed hand, and the splashed blood hit Shen Yu's face.

"Hey!" Shen Yu stretched out his hand to tug at the young man, who had exactly the same makeup and attire as the previous one.The man was so frightened that he screamed and ran away, then disappeared at the end of the maze.

Surrounded by vibrations, the peach forest swayed and swayed, killing shadows, the crimson branches and flowers seemed to be dyed with blood.The desperate young man in gauze and the strong man with a knife shuttled endlessly, and the brocade was printed with a knife blade and a human face, splashed with wet blood.With a murderous smell floating in the fragrance of flowers.

A hellish situation.

"Liang Heng!"

The sound of crying, running, and cutting into flesh and blood swallowed up the name.

Liang Heng punched the butcher on the back of the head. The butcher turned his back to him and was lifting the head of a boy, ready to be killed.

The cracked bone was not the butcher's occipital bone, but Liang Heng's finger bone.

"Ah!" He jumped up, throwing his hands.

The young man was stabbed with the head-throwing knife, his soul was already out of his body, his eyes turned white, he received a punch from Liang Heng, the butcher let him go, and the blade turned to Liang Heng.

The teenagers who were hunted down were all dressed in light gauze, and they ran as gracefully as butterflies.Liang Heng is dressed in brocade clothes and jade, and he is incompatible with this slaughterhouse.

The two were relatively silent, and Liang Heng took a few steps back: "Well, listen to me, you may not dare to touch me..."

The Great Ring Knife arrives in no time.

"Shen Yu!!"

Liang Heng was forced to join the fleeing team. He threw himself on the embroidered flowers in Jinwei. The thin red had been dyed as bright as a goose crown. The brocade was soft and entangled the prey like a spider's silk. The steel knife was close at hand and split the beam. A leather crown that plucks hair.

His hair was disheveled and he was in a state of embarrassment. He staggered up and tripped over a knotted root in the woods. Seeing that the ground was getting closer, the hair on the back of his neck had already detected the approach of the blade one step ahead—a person suddenly rushed out from the side, like the wind sweeping leaves Picking up Liang Heng, with a steel knife in his hand, he immediately cut the butcher away.

Shen Yu couldn't hold his breath, was dripping with sweat, and frantically searched the corners of the maze with what kind of mood.Liang Heng was trembling in his arms, touching the blood on the side of his face.

"It's not mine." Shen Yuyan was terrified, pressed his face to his chest, and swept across with the knife, the knife changed midway and changed to an oblique cut, cutting off half of the butcher's palm.

Liang Heng couldn't see anything, only heard the butcher roar in pain, and then his back felt hot.

The butcher's breath was gone.

"Stand up," Shen Yu wrapped his arms around Liang Heng's waist, supporting him, "Are your legs weak? I can't carry you on my back."

Only then did Liang Heng feel the damp heat around his waist.

"What is this..." Liang Heng's palm was dripping, his face was pale, "Should this be yours?"

"When I was looking for you, I was stabbed." Shen Yu smiled lightly, but his lips turned pale.

"Go, get out of this place."

Liang Heng supported Shen Yu, and the two dared not wander around in the maze, so they looked for a direction and used the seven-ring knife that Shen Yu had snatched to split the thorns and silk to open the way.

The dripping blood is like honey, attracting swordsmen along the way.

"In Wangdu City, why is there such a place?" Liang Heng felt unimaginable and terrified.

Shen Yu raised his arm, already feeling exhausted, pointed to a direction for Liang Heng: "Look over there."

Above the canopy line, in the center of the labyrinth, a tower rises into the sky.Mansions of wealthy families have a tradition of building towers to climb high and look far away, but like this one, it is so tall that I am alone, and I wish I could see the whole world, which is really rare.

The peach forest turned into blood light is right under the eyes of this watchtower.

So beautiful.

At the turn of yin and yang, at the time of life and death, a beautiful life emerges from the cocoon, and then dies fragile, and the peach blossoms turn into rain, and the splendor is buried.

You look at the scenery.
