[Sword Three] Mountain Ghost Ballad

Miao didn't know how long she had been in a coma. When she woke up, she found that she was in a large hall. Judging from the structure and furnishings of the palace, she was not in Lishan Mountain.

The main hall where she is located has only one door, and there are many spike soldiers guarding the door. The inside of the hall is very empty, but the furnishings are very gorgeous. Looking out from the windows of the hall, you can still see a whole piece of magnificent buildings, which are very similar. The Luoyang Imperial City that I have seen from afar.

Through these, Miao already knows where she is now.

Luoyang had already been occupied by the Spike Army before. On the first day of the first lunar month, Mount Anlu proclaimed himself emperor in the imperial city of Luoyang, and then moved to the Quartet. If Yinyang Palace really took refuge in Mount Anlu, then Zhong Li brought her to Luoyang In the imperial city, there is nothing strange about it.

However, to her surprise, three full days had passed since she woke up, and all she saw were the spike soldiers guarding outside the temple and the maid who took care of her daily life. Did not see.

She didn't know what the other party was planning, so she could only use these three days to find a way to escape.It's a pity that her veins are closed now, and she can't use the Yin-Yang technique for a short time, and she can't leave the palace where she is. She doesn't know the terrain in the imperial city. It is still difficult for her to avoid many guards and leave the imperial city. Can wait for the other party to come to the door.

Fortunately, the other party didn't make her wait too long. On the fifth day after she came to the imperial city, the other party finally took the initiative to approach the door.

She looked at the woman in the water-colored dark dress in front of her. The appearance of the other party seemed to have not changed much compared with the previous years, but her eyes were a little less indifferent and more profound and probing. The current head of Yinyang Palace, Jiang Huaixu, was rescued by Yijiao.

Almost from the first time she saw Jiang Huaixu, Miao didn't give her a chance to speak, and asked directly: "After you brought me here, what happened to the Tiance Mansion, where are they now?"

After hearing Miao's question, Jiang Huaixu seemed taken aback for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, and said, "I thought the first question you asked me was for the reason I invited you here, or to seal your veins. Who is it. Didn't you expect that these people in Daoxiang Village were so important to you..."

Seeing Miaozheng staring at her unkindly, Xu Shi didn't hold back any more, and said, "The rescue from Tiance Mansion has arrived, and your friends are all fine, and they probably have already left Luoyang with the remnants of Tiance's troops. Where it went, I don't know."

Having said that, she paused for a moment, with a look of pity on her face, and said, "But I'm sure that your friends must know that your whereabouts are unknown at this moment, but no one seems to be looking for you." , It’s in vain that you value them so much, but they don’t care about you.”

"That's because they don't know my whereabouts at all."

Miao's expression remained unchanged, she looked straight into Jiang Huaixu's eyes, and said coldly, "You don't have to provoke me, since you have spent so much effort to bring me here, just say what you have to say."

Having said that, she paused for a moment, and said with a gloomy expression: "The only thing I can't understand is why he wants to help you seal my veins."

During the past few days trapped in the Luoyang Imperial City, she has already thought through what happened before.

Apart from Mo Yu and Chen Yue, Tang Wujue is indeed the person who has had the longest physical contact with her, and it was he who suggested Zhu Jianqiu at the beginning to send her to the Tiance Camp to help out under the guise of Heizhi Yuanyou. It is indeed the biggest suspect who sealed her meridians.

But what she couldn't figure out was that Tang Wujue grew up in the Tang Sect since he was a child, and as her current elder brother, he should have nothing to do with Yin Yang Palace, so why is he helping Yin Yang Palace now?

"You guessed it?"

Jiang Huaixu didn't show any surprise at Miao's words, but said lightly: "Don't blame him, I took the initiative to find that child, and asked him to help me, and I must bring you here. As for why he wanted to help me..."

Her voice paused, her face was still calm, but for some reason Miao felt a little uneasy.

Sure enough, Jiang Huaixu's next words exploded in Miao's ears, causing her heart to tighten.

"He has no other choice, because his biological mother is still in my hands. Of course, A Miao, that is your mother too."

Miao suddenly raised her head and looked at Jiang Huaixu, trying to see something from the other's face, but unfortunately the other's face was still so flat that people couldn't see any clues.

Jiang Huaixu said slowly: "Back when Fu Wu committed suicide, Assassin gave her body to me, but I unexpectedly discovered that she was not completely dead because of her special constitution, so I took her with her at that time. After returning to Lishan, I have been taking care of her all these years. It is a pity that I am not capable enough. Although I saved her life, I have been unable to wake her up, so I have to find Tang Wujue and ask him to help me invite you come over."

"What can I do?" Miao lowered her eyes slightly, and her voice was so faint that it was impossible to see her emotions.

Jiang Huaixu couldn't help smiling when she saw her eyebrows twitching, "There are many things you can do, such as helping me open the door of the secret room in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum."

Facing Shang Miao's puzzled eyes, Jiang Huaixu slowly explained: "When Emperor Qin Yingzheng was building the underground tomb, the Yinyang family, as the protectors of the Qin Dynasty, also participated in the construction of the tomb. According to the letters left behind, in the mausoleum resting behind the first emperor, there is also a secret hall belonging to the Yin-Yang family, which houses the secret treasures collected by the Yin-Yang family in the past dynasties, and even the panacea recovered from overseas fairy mountains by Mirage Dongdu , maybe if you find this, maybe you can wake up Fuwu. But I heard that the entrance to this secret hall is very secret, and people who are not born with astrology skills are not allowed to enter. I can see that you can master it a few years ago If you use Soul Xi Longyou, then your Yin-Yang technique must have been cultivated to the law of astrology, so I need your help."

Miao asked indifferently: "Could it be that there is no one who has practiced the law of astrology in such a big Yin-Yang Palace to help you? Why do you have to find me?"

In the pre-Qin yin and yang family, it is rare to have people who are born with astrological laws, but there are also many people who have reached this level through cultivation. She thinks that Jiang Huai's cultivation is quite deep, and yin and yang skills should be already Dacheng, why do you need her help to enter the secret palace?

Unexpectedly, Jiang Huaixu's expression was tinged with regret, and he said: "You think of Yin-Yang Art too simply, maybe in the Yin-Yang School in the pre-Qin period, there were indeed many people who could practice astrology, but since the millennium Before the decline of the Yin-Yang family, there were several turmoil in Lishan Mountain. In today's Tang Dynasty, only the Yin-Yang Palace can be regarded as inheriting the inheritance of the former Yin-Yang family. Even so, there are many precious classics and cultivation methods Lost in the long river of time, the current Yin-Yang Palace has long lost its former glory, and it is rare for a disciple of the sect to practice the mind-controlling spell, let alone a higher level of astrology."

"Then you didn't find me just to save people, did you? If you have any other demands, you can say them together." Miao didn't believe that the other party wasted so much effort to help Tang Wujue save his mother, otherwise why I didn't say it in the early years, but I brought it up at this time.

Jiang Huaixu smiled slightly and said: "My purpose is to take out the secret treasure in the secret palace of the Qinling Mausoleum. I have no other requirements. If you cooperate with me, we will each get what we need, and you can save it." Your mother, why not do it?"

There was a cold light in Miao's eyes, and he snorted coldly: "It's really despicable. It's been many years since you took Fuwu away, but now you use her to negotiate terms with Tang Wujue. If it's just to get back the secret treasure, you can directly negotiate with Tang Wujue." I said, why do you need to make such a big circle.”

She didn't believe that the other party's purpose was just this. After all, she had lived in Lishan for many years. Why did the other party not explain to her earlier? It's time to use this kind of persecution to invite her.

Jiang Huaixu didn't care about Yimiao calling her mother and elder brother's names directly. Hearing her questioning at this moment, she just said indifferently: "That's because I'm very disappointed in you at this time."

"Disappointed with me?" Miao looked at Jiang Huaixu with a slight frown, not understanding what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

Seeing Miao's icy face, Jiang Huaixu slowly approached her, knelt down in front of her, and said softly: "Your mother's family has always been gifted, and they are even more talented in Yin-Yang cultivation. It is much less labor-intensive than ordinary people. Fuwu was originally the only daughter of the previous head of the Yin-Yang Palace, and she inherited her family's innate physique and excellent talent. When I was away, in order to find her, I made a secret investigation and joined the Red Clothes Sect. I wanted to bring her back to Lishan and prepare to be trained as the next leader, but what I didn't expect was that she first refused to marry her because of Assassin. I left the religion, and then willingly committed suicide to apologize for Tang Aofeng, it really disappointed me..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Huaixu's voice became slightly gloomy, and he looked at Miao with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "A Miao, you are an excellent talent that is rarely seen in a thousand years. I put all my expectations on you, thinking that with your aptitude, the Yin-Yang family could be rejuvenated. But I didn't expect that you, like your mother, have no ambitions and only know how to indulge in love. He went to the Valley of the Wicked regardless of everything!"

"But I don't owe Yin Yang Palace anything, and I never promised you anything." Miao interrupted her, which also calmed Jiang Huaixu's slightly agitated mood.

She let out a breath, her face no longer had a faint expression, but with a trace of complexity, she said softly: "A Miao, listen to me, there are many people in this world whose fate has been determined since birth. It is doomed, what kind of person should take what kind of path, this is not determined by your own will. Your birth is a gift from heaven to the Yinyang family, and your existence is destined to lead the Yinyang family To restore the glory of the past, you have excellent qualifications, and you should not indulge in love just for the sake of momentary desire. As long as you are willing, I will do my best to assist you. I believe that with your ability, you will surely It can do things that the ancestors of the Yin Yang Palace could not do in the past."

"But I don't want to."

Miao slightly lowered her eyes and shook her head, and said lightly: "For me now, I just want to live peacefully with the people around me. The road you want me to take is too lonely, and I am afraid of that kind of loneliness, so I do not want to."

The past is like a dream. Over the years, whenever she dreams back at midnight, she will dream of the self who grew up in the pre-Qin era, and that is a completely different person from her.

Although they had the same life before the age of eight, after the age of eight, she kept having it, but she kept losing the one in her dream.

Now a lot of people gradually gathered around her, even though many people stopped and went, Mo Yu was always by her side.But in the dream, she was gradually alone, walking on a long and endless road, with nothingness and darkness as far as the eye could see, and the feeling of loneliness that was so high that it was unbearable. .

So whenever Miao thinks about it, she will cherish the present life even more.

She doesn't want to be the one in her dream, she doesn't want to become some great person, she doesn't even want to think about the past about the pre-Qin period, if her life at this time is a kind of degeneration, then she would rather never recover forever.

"A Miao, it seems that you still can't let go of that young man named Mo Yu."

Jiang Huaixu's expression became complicated, and he said slowly: "There are too many idiots and women in this world, only the word love really makes people crazy. But Ah Miao, listen to me, the relationship between men and women is actually It is not as sacred as you imagined, and the feeling of "only one scoop of three thousand waters" does not exist. Even if two people are together, they will pledge each other forever, but when the two are separated for a long time, no matter how deep the relationship is, it will be for you. As time goes by, you are in love with that young man now, and you feel that you must be with each other, but after a long time, you will find that you are just dispensable to him, even without you, he can still Live well in the Valley of the Wicked, you are not the only friend of his in the past, and your existence is not impossible to be replaced..."

"The matter between me and him is not your concern."

Miao's face was extremely gloomy, and her hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched fiercely because of anger, "What you want me to do is to help you find the secret palace in Qinling. If there is nothing else, Just go back, I don't want to talk to you anymore."

"Heh, you're still so capricious..."

Jiang Huaixu didn't show any displeasure, just stood up, and walked slowly towards the door, "The entrance to Qin Ling has not been found yet, once there is news, I will inform you. Before that , please trouble Ah Miao to stay here obediently for a few days, and don't think about running away."

Speaking of the latter, her voice already had a hint of threat, and she took a last look at Miao who was sitting quietly in front of the case, and left the hall without looking back.

So she didn't notice that the moment she turned around, the original anger on Miao's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a thoughtful and calm look.

————————————————————————————————————

Jiang Huaixu supported his body and left the palace where Miao was. When he reached an empty corner, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and his face became a little pale.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Zhong Li, who had just come here, saw Jiang Huaixu vomit blood, and hurried over to support her in shock, and took out a handkerchief to try to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, but was stopped by the other party's hand.

I saw Jiang Huaixu said calmly: "I'm fine, it's just a sequela from the past few days, just take a good care of it for a few days."

Seeing that Zhong Li's face was still worried, Jiang Huaixu smiled faintly and sighed: "I still underestimated A Miao, I didn't expect that even if her veins are sealed now, I took advantage of her coma a few days ago When I used the soul-changing method to probe her memory, I still suffered backlash."

"Then master, did you see anything?" Zhong Li asked cautiously.

"No, I didn't see anything." Jiang Huaixu's expression was thoughtful, "She was obviously not conscious at the time, and she didn't have any resistance to me, but it's a pity that when I used a spell to guide her to explore her past memories , but I only saw a piece of darkness in the mirror... From this point of view, I am afraid that her cultivation of yin and yang is even higher than mine."

There was a trace of emotion in her voice, and she said: "Heavenly descended Xuanniao, the blood of this family should not be underestimated, but it is a pity that Fuwu was living outside since she was a child. Among the three children she left behind, one Tang Qingling did not Awakening, a Tang Wujue has no intention of doing this, leaving the most talented A Miao, who has already mastered Yin-Yang skills, but is unwilling to come back to the Yin-Yang Palace to help me, it seems that how to revive the Yin-Yang Family, I have to find another way."

"Master..."

Zhong Li seemed to have remembered something, and said slowly: "I have already found out what you asked me to inquire about a few days ago. The spies lurking in the Valley of the Evil came to report that the 'little lunatic' Mo Yu was treated by Chen Yue. At present, he has recovered his sanity, and everything seems to be normal, and there is nothing unusual, except..."

Having said that, she paused for a moment, looked around, and whispered something in Jiang Huaixu's ear, causing the other party to frown.

"Are you sure you only have this symptom?"

Jiang Huaixu's voice was a little suspicious, and he murmured: "Wanhua medical skills are not the nemesis of yin and yang skills, and it is impossible for them to work on the curse I cast on him. Could it be that the Miao girl interrupted my luck at that time?" reason……"

"Master, what kind of curse did you cast on 'Little Crazy'?"

Zhong Li asked out of curiosity, but closed his mouth when Jiang Huaixu's face obviously sank.She didn't mean anything else, it was just the first time she saw someone who was immune to the Yin-Yang curse, so she just wanted to know what curse the master cast, but judging by the master's appearance, it seemed that there was something hidden in it?

After a long while, Zhong Li didn't know what to think of, and he hesitated to speak, and said, "Master, you want A Miao to enter Qin Ling together this time, will she be in any danger?"

Hearing her words, Jiang Huaixu, who was immersed in his own thoughts, suddenly raised his head and looked directly at her. When he looked at her guilty and lowered his head, he heard the other party slowly say: "I won't let you What's the matter with her, after all, I have to rely on her to complete my plan..."

Zhong Li nodded in agreement, looking at Jiang Huaixu's unclear face, a sense of uneasiness gradually spread in his heart.

She always felt that the master in front of her seemed to be very different from the master who took her away from the Red Clothes School back then, but as for the difference, she couldn't detect it.

She just felt that Master had been lying about his treatment of A Miao.
