[Sword Three] Mountain Ghost Ballad

The woman had a few strands of black hair combed into an exquisite bun, a pear hairpin pinned to the top of her hair, and the rest of her long hair hanging around her waist. She was wearing a neat scarlet robe embroidered with blooming pear blossoms , the cuffs were tied with pear-blossom-striped ribbons, revealing her white wrists, and a budding white pear was embroidered on the delicately embroidered shoes slightly exposed under the skirt, just like her name, soft and bright.

After "Fufeng" showed his real body, Su Ang showed some nostalgia and said, "Since Sister Zhongli chose to follow that woman to leave the Red Clothes Sect, we sisters have been gone for many years, although I don't know how my sister has spent these years. How about it, but my sister often thinks of the scene when I grew up with my sister in the middle school when I was young..."

Seeing that the aggressive Su Ang's attitude suddenly softened, Zhong Li raised her eyebrows and smiled, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, so she said calmly: "The world is impermanent, everyone has their own way to go, why should sister Clinging to the past."

"Sister is really ruthless, this is exactly the same as your cheap master!"

The smile on Suang's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became a little cold, "My sister and I were in the church back then, how happy our life was, but my sister couldn't bear to think about it, and she voluntarily left the pure land bestowed by God Ahriman. On the outside, I'm afraid it has become as hateful as those obstinate heretics—"

"You came here on purpose to block my way, probably just to tell me these things!" Zhong Li interrupted Su Ang, obviously unwilling to recall the past at all.

Like Suang, she grew up in the Red Clothes Church since she was a child. Except for the sisters in the school, she had almost no contact with outsiders, so she followed the followers to persecute others with peace of mind, her hands were covered with blood without knowing it, and Never realize how sinful his actions are.

Until the first time she went out to perform a task alone, she was involved in a fight with a group of martial arts people, and was seriously injured. She was rescued by an ordinary family in a nearby village. Taking good care of her, and even looking at the happy smiling face of the daughter Xiaoyu who is about to get married every day, I can't help but question my life in the past ten years. If the real pure land is as written in the teachings, why do I live here? Among a group of people who would be classified as heretics by the church, but she felt very happy and couldn't bear to leave?

Later, she still left and was found by the sisters who came out to look for her.Before leaving, the family who rescued her did not receive any blessings. Instead, because of their dislike for the Red Clothes Sect, they were secretly attacked by the leader of the Aliman Law Enforcement. This is what she saw in the Sect. The family's daughter, Xiaoyu, only found out about it. At that time, that poor girl had been brainwashed by doctrine, and fanatically followed a group of executioners who ruined her family.

At that time, Zhong Li was just 13 years old, and the softness in her nature had not been completely erased. After being stimulated by this incident, she couldn't help feeling that the beautiful and gentle sisters around her suddenly became hideous. , but still herself.It turned out that she was the devil mentioned in the doctrine, an ominous person who would persecute others and lead them to destruction.

Since then, she was woken up countless times when she dreamed back in the middle of the night, and wanted to escape from the Red Clothes Sect many times, but she grew up in the Sect, and she didn't know her own background. Where can I go?She even wondered more than once whether her family, like Xiaoyu's family, were killed by the Red Clothes Sect, and she has laughed wantonly with her enemies just like Xiaoyu for more than ten years ?

Zhong Li, whose psychological burden was getting heavier, finally chose to kill herself. She cut her throat and set fire all over her body.She didn't want to follow the Red Clothes Sect to harm others anymore, and she didn't want to be caught and tortured by them after escaping, so she might as well just like this, and die in exchange for liberation.

But what she didn't expect was that she was rescued by someone, and when she woke up again, she was already in a beautiful house, and the owner of this house was the Holy Maiden Bath that all disciples of the sect were in awe of. ice.But Yu Bing, who has never been close to others, asked her many questions abnormally. At that time, she had no intention of surviving, so she simply said all the things in her heart that she had nowhere to vent for several days, but she did not expect to wait until later. What is meant is not the punishment of the saint, but a transfer order.

Since then, she has followed the Holy Maiden of Bathing Ice, and learned something completely different from what the Holy Maiden taught her. She no longer needs to harm others, and she can get the approval of the Holy Maiden in whatever she thinks. , Those years were almost the happiest time in her teaching.

So when the saint decided to leave the holy church, she was asked if she wanted to go together, and she agreed without hesitation.

She doesn't know the origin of the saint, and she doesn't know the purpose of the saint to take her away, but she doesn't care, because the saint and her have given her a second chance of life over the years, even though they don't have the title of master and apprentice. People, she has long regarded him as the only person she can follow in her life, wherever the saint goes, she will go there.

"I don't want to fight with you, just because I don't want to hurt the old friendship, but I have something important to do, if you insist on blocking, I will have no choice but to be rude to you!"

Zhong Li regained consciousness from her memory and looked at her former sister Su Ang with a complicated expression on her face, but when she thought of Huai Xu who was holding Assassin back at this time, she changed her mind and had already made a decision.

"Important matter? I'm afraid it's the important matter of the ice bathing saint!" Suang sneered as if she had heard some joke, "She is probably fighting with Master Assassin at the moment, maybe she has already died The enemy has been arrested and awaiting disposal!"

Seeing her rude words, Zhong Li finally got a little angry, and said seriously: "I came here under orders, this child must come with me!"

"Then what if I don't allow it? You want to fight with me?" Su Ang sneered, "I want to see how much your martial arts have improved in the past few years!"

Su Ang's eyes turned cold, and she slapped Zhong Li with a palm regardless of Huang Ying who was still standing in the middle. Huang Ying was swept to the ground and lost consciousness, while Zhong Li's long-sleeved sweep pushed Miao beside her out of the battle Outside the circle, the figures quickly dodged Su Ang's palm in a flash.

The room is not big, which is not good for Zhong Li who is not good at melee combat. While avoiding Suang's attack, she is thinking about how to catch Suang in exchange for the time for her to leave with Miao. In this room, Suang's lightness skill is not as good as hers, and she can escape quickly with Miao.

After another palm was dodged by Zhong Li sideways, Su Ang simply stopped, looked at her with a somewhat unpredictable expression, and said: "I didn't expect your martial arts to advance so quickly. A few years ago, you were clearly still under my command. It won't last long, and now I've let my palm fail, but do you think you can do nothing to get me if you just dodge and don't fight back?"

"you……"

Just as Zhong Li was about to speak, she suddenly felt that the breath in her body was stagnant, and the air flow in her chest was not smooth. She was surprised and sniffed the smell in the surrounding air carefully, and she knew it in her heart, so she couldn't help but smiled wryly: "You really are a trick Do not hesitate to use the powder to keep me, but I don't understand, when did you sprinkle the powder?"

It was not Suang who answered her, but Miao beside her. She was standing quietly in the corner of the room, watching the two people in the room quietly, "There is that kind of medicine powder hidden in her nails. When she exerted her palm force, the powder would evaporate quickly, and you were so eager to dodge her attack that you didn't notice it."

Zhong Li glanced at Miao in surprise, Su Ang also laughed, and said, "That's right, since Sister Zhong Li left the Red Clothes School, I've been taking this medicinal powder almost every day for the past few years, and gradually this medicinal powder It doesn't work on me anymore! I put the powder into my nails, just to send you to die when I see you again someday!"

At the end, Suang's voice gradually became vicious, but she quickly calmed down, her eyes moved to Miao, her expression became very gentle, and she said softly: "Sister A Miao, I haven't seen you for a few days. Thinking that she is still so smart, no wonder Master Assassin values ​​him so much... But, since you have already seen it, why didn't you remind her? My sister knows that my sister is determined to leave the Red Clothes Sect, and now she is finally able to do so. Given the opportunity, why don't you help this big sister who kindly wants to take you away?"

Faced with Suang's gloating and slightly astonished gazes from Zhong Li, Miao's expression remained unchanged. She raised her head and quietly glanced at Suang who was looking down at her. A kind of coercion.

She suddenly tilted her head and smiled, looking cute and innocent, and said crisply: "I don't need to remind this big sister, because you have no chance at all!"

"what--!"

Before Su Ang could react to Miao's words, the air in the room where there were only four of them was suddenly distorted into a mist. Before she could clearly see what was in the mist, her body was struck by a force After hitting it, the whole person fell to the ground and let out a muffled groan.

The water mist quickly condensed, revealing the figure of a woman in a long water-colored dress. Seeing this, Zhong Li couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher!"

The person who came was Huai Xu, the former saintess in red who lured Assassin away. After she left the Red Clothes Sect, she returned to her real name and never mentioned the name Yubing again.

Before that, she deliberately provoked Assassin in the Dihua Temple to lead him out of the hall, but she set up many illusions outside the hall, and used the wind chimes as a medium to trap Assassin in it. Follow the mark left by Zhong Li to find it.

"It's you! I didn't expect you to come in person, Mr. Assassin!" Suang was furious. He never expected that the person who should be fighting Assassin would appear here so soon.

"Assassin is fine."

Huai Xu made a faint sound, then ignored Su Ang, raised his hand and lightly touched Zhong Li's shoulder, which was lying on the ground, and seeing that Zhong Li's breathing became much easier, he asked, "But you're all right?"

Zhong Li adjusted his breath, nodded and said, "Thank you teacher, I'm fine now!"

Huai Xu's expression was still indifferent, but when his eyes met Miao's eyes looking at her, his four eyes met, showing a little clear smile, her voice was still as cold as ice, but it seemed to carry a little meaning profound.

She didn't despise Miao just because she was a little girl, but asked her seriously if she would like to go with her.

Miao quietly looked at the strange woman in front of her, thinking of Zhong Li's yin and yang technique, she suddenly felt that she seemed to be approaching the answer to the question of why she came to Datang, and this woman might be able to tell She is many things.

So she asked, "Where are we going?"

There seemed to be a smile on the corner of Huai Xu's lips, and she said, "Go to Mount Li..."
