Chapter 4 Chapter Three
The sound of the hole flute sounded softly, but it only whimpered a few times and then stopped.
I saw Xiao Wangchu sitting on the railing of Chaoshou verandah, with a jade flute in his hand dripping with greenery, his eyes were far away, at this moment, he looked like a ghost floating in the night, surrounded by a ghost A deep loneliness.
I walked up to him: "I have decided to go back to the Demon Palace."
He was startled, and then said happily: "Yes, I'm going to order someone to prepare..."
I interrupted him: "It's not with you, but with him. I want him to send me back to the magic palace." I pointed my finger at Chen Fei behind me.
Xiao Wangchu's complexion suddenly changed: "Why?"
I asked rhetorically, "If you said that the night before, would you ask why?"
A trace of hostility flashed across Xiao Wangchu's eyes, but he still respectfully said: "This subordinate dare not. Then this subordinate will go back to the Demon Palace first and welcome the princess." After saying that, the black robe flickered and disappeared without a trace.
I looked back at Chen Fei and said, "What are you waiting for?"
Chen Fei stared at the direction where Xiao Wangchu left and remained silent, but Sanniang hurried over: "Are you really determined to go back to the Demon Palace?"
I smiled sadly: "Do I have any other options?"
"But Xiaoxi..." Sanniang tugged on Chen Fei's sleeve and said, "Fei, why didn't you stop her? Xiaoxi is not a night, she doesn't have the magic power of a night, and she doesn't have the character of a night. Not for her!"
Chen Fei said slowly: "How she chooses is her business, what right do I have to stop it?"
"No!"
Chen Fei pulled my hand suddenly: "Let's go, hurry up." Just as I took a step, a bolt of lightning tore through the thick clouds, and the whole world was brightened.At that moment, I saw many emotions on his face, which finally condensed into a kind of sadness.
Just like that, I was dragged by him through the small courtyard, through the lobby of the teahouse, his hand holding my hand, this short journey seemed endless.
In the future, this will never be possible again, never again...
Sir, why do we have such an unbearable past?Why must I hate you?God wants me to hate you, the people in the magic palace want me to hate you, even you want me to hate you!You didn't defend yourself with a single word, and you didn't leave me with a single chance of luck...
The moment I lowered the bolt of the gate, I suddenly had the urge to regret it. I stretched out half of my hand, obviously to prevent him from opening the door, but seeing that rock-like indifferent face, I finally helped him open the door together. .
The wind and rain outside the door immediately fascinated my eyes. Just as I stepped out of the threshold, a sound of wind broke through the air, "Bang!"
Reaching out and pulling it out, Xuan Hei's post was written in white letters: "Don't go back to the magic palace."
There were layers of changes in Chen Fei's eyes.
"what is this?"
"Fate of the twelve seasons."
Twelve seasons?Is it the fortuneteller who is said to be more miraculous than the civet cat in the magic palace, and who used the consonance lamp to lead me to reincarnation?
I looked around, trying to find out his hiding place, but I heard Chen Fei say, "Don't look for it, he's not here."
"Then where did this post come from?"
"Mind power." Seeing that I was puzzled, Chen Fei explained, "Using his mind power, Twelve Seasons can send the white ink post anywhere, and when the post is seen by the recipient, it will disappear."
I lowered my head, and the post really changed from thick to shallow, and slowly disappeared.
You can't blame me for being ignorant and ignorant. I really never thought that there would be such a magical power in this world.I stared blankly at my hands and asked in confusion, "He won't let me go back to the Demon Palace, why?"
Chen Fei looked at me quietly for a while, then replied, "I don't know."
The more he behaved so indifferently, the more i got angry, bit my lips and said: "He won't let me go back, so I will go back! I want to see what kind of place is Nine Palaces of Demon Palace!"
As soon as the words fell, another flash of lightning flashed, the rain became heavier, and a chill invaded the muscles and bones.I was just thinking about whether to take an umbrella and go on the road, but Chen Fei stopped me: "Stop!"
I followed his line of sight and saw a person walking slowly across the long street.
Tall, but with a graceful posture, could it be a woman?
The visitor stops when he is three feet away, and does not come closer.The light blue cloak covered the whole body tightly, and only a strand of long hair sneaked out along the gap of the brim of the hat, and was wet by the rain, dripping down drop by drop.
"Ah You, is that you?" Chen Fei couldn't hide his surprise on his face.
The man nodded slowly.
"Why did you come here?"
After a long period of silence, the man said: "I have been entrusted to play a piece of music for you."
Her voice is very unique. I never knew that a woman could have such a voice. It is so unique that any emotion spoken from her mouth becomes a kind of distant tenderness.
Then I saw the cloak parted, revealing two hands and a pipa.
The hand is as beautiful as jade, but the pipa is more elegant, even in the rain at night, it still does not hide its brilliance.
Seeing this pipa, I vaguely guessed the identity of this person—could it be Bi Luo Pipa?For a long time, "Biluo Pipa Fu" and "Dongzhou Heroes" have been the two favorite passages of Lengxiang teahouse listeners.Unexpectedly, in just one day, I could see so many legendary strange objects——Snow Jade Confidante Order, Bai Mo Su Tie, Bi Luo Pipa...
Is this luck or misfortune?
With a swipe of the slender fingers on the string, the notes jumped out like pearls and jade, and with the sound of the rain, it seemed to blend into one, but it was clearly distinguishable.
——"House of Flying Daggers"!
It was actually a song "House of Flying Daggers"!
The rain is urgent, the wind is sudden, and the pipa wants to die. Everything around her was abandoned, and all she could see was the woman's fingertips, twitching rapidly on the strings, becoming more and more anxious. In "House of Flying Daggers", Xiang Yu died.Now, what is foreshadowing?Xueyu Hongyan, Baimo Sutie, and Biluo Pipa reappeared in the Jianghu one by one. Their life experiences are intricate, and the wind and rain ahead are misty. At first glance, the long road is boundless, and they don't know where it leads. Pessimism and despair pervaded my consciousness like moist water vapor. When I faintly felt that something was wrong, I couldn’t move all over my body. Rhymes with Pipa! Heavenly magic sound—— The Biluo Pipa is a life-threatening weapon, how could I be so negligent that I forgot how many martial arts masters have died under that rhythm? King Xiang was defeated, and Wujiang slayed himself. In an instant, he almost felt that his soul was dead. At that moment, I suddenly felt my body lighten up, and I was picked up by Chen Fei and spun away. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a cold light flying by, shining like a shooting star in the black night rain! The music stopped, and everything was finally calm. When my feet landed on the ground, my hands and feet miraculously regained their flexibility. I turned my head and saw that woman named Ayou standing in the wind and rain, as if stunned.On her pipa, a peach leaf is embedded between the second string and the third string impartially. The pipa is originally green, but the peach leaf is greener, making her hands reflect a light green. Is that the witch peach leaf?Xiao Wangchu mentioned the hidden weapon that Jian Lingxi once used to stand alone in the martial arts world. Chen Fei let go of me and remained silent. The sound of the rain became clear, without the suppression of the pipa, showing wanton carefreeness. I saw the corners of Ayou's lips twitched, a half-smile, with indescribable embarrassment flowing, and then she sighed: "Lingxi, you shouldn't." Shouldn't it?Shouldn't what?I do not understand. Even after what happened just now, I still can't tell whether this person is a friend or an enemy.She doesn't seem to have any malice towards us, but she hides murderous intentions in the music. If Chen Fei hadn't saved me, I might have been shocked by the sound of the pipa. Chen Fei's eyes were dull. "Lingxi, you shouldn't." Ayou repeated again, saying, "If you listen to me finish playing the song "House of Flying Daggers", this matter will be over, but you still made a move in the end... ...You clearly know what Taoye's reappearance means, have you really forgotten the curse of the Demon Palace back then?" "I can't help it, I can't let her die." Chen Feihu was in front of me, and I looked at his back, and I suddenly burst into tears, sour, and I couldn't explain why. Ayou seemed to keep her gaze on my face for a long time, but I still couldn't see her face, only the long hair, and the rain was flowing. "She's not like her." I was startled, did she mean that I don't look like Yixi?Turning his head, he saw emotion on Chen Fei's face: "It doesn't look like it at all." Ah You pondered for a moment, then said: "Listen to me, don't let her go to the Demon Palace." I yelled, "Why?" "Because if you go, you will only bring misfortune to the world." Ah You's voice suddenly became cold, she took a few steps towards me, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know what a night is like? Character? She is the most outstanding rookie of the Demon Race. At the age of six, she used a piece of white feather to repel a hundred thousand elite soldiers of the Human Race. At the age of twelve, she was named a princess. Destroying her spiritual essence, the Nine Temples Demon Palace has already annexed the human world and became the ruler. But even if she becomes a ghost, she is still powerful, filling the lake three times to bring disaster to the common people, so Lingxi can only seal her in the sword, but unexpectedly She escaped anyway. In the end, it was the poor five of us who trapped her and forced her to kill herself. This ended a disaster. I don’t want the tragedy of sixteen years ago to repeat itself, so this magic palace, I will never let you go back!" I turned my head and looked at Chen Fei in shock. Why did this woman say something completely different from what Xiao Wangchu said?Is Yixi a bad guy?If this is the secret inside, why won't the husband speak out?Who should I trust? Ayou said again: "And do you think that the Demon Palace really invites you to go back and enjoy life as a princess? You are wrong. What they need is Yixi, what they worship is Yixi, and what they welcome is Yixi, not after reincarnation You, who can't even resist my pipa sound. When they find out that you are different from Yixi, your good days will come to an end! My words are by no means alarmist, so you'd better give up the idea of going back now, as long as you Ken stays in the teahouse, I can stop embarrassing you..." Chen Fei didn't let her finish her sentence: "I want to take her back." "What?" Ah You was shocked, "Have you forgotten the prophecy that Twelve Seasons said?" "Because I remember that prophecy, I think it's time. Even if Xiao Wangchu doesn't come, I will take her back to the Demon Palace." Ayou said: "But, I don't understand!" Not only did she not understand, but I did not understand either.What prophecy?What does it have to do with me? "Do you think that Xiao Wangchu is really so innocent in coming to pick her up?" Chen Fei smiled wryly, "You and I both know the strength of civet cats, if she really wanted to find Xiaoxi, it would have been sixteen years later. And she was in a hurry to order someone to take her away this year as the prophecy said, so I thought, something must have happened to the Demon Palace." "If it's a conspiracy, you shouldn't take her back!" "If Mo Gong vows to Xiaoxi, even if she doesn't go back to Mo Gong and stay in the tea house, it's not a long-term solution. Instead of attracting demons to come out in groups, I'd better send her back and play by ear." Ah You vetoed: "No, it's too dangerous! The people in the Demon Palace hate you to the bone, do you think you can come back alive after you get there?" "That's not the point." "What's the point?" Chen Fei's eyes flickered a few times, and he said in a low voice: "The prophecy said that sixteen years later, the peach blossoms will reappear in the common people. I have been thinking about what the so-called peach blossoms refer to. Before the soul flew away, I cursed the water of Jingxi Lake." Drying up, her resentful face remained in the magic mirror for a long time, and I still have lingering fears when I think about it. Since the twelve seasons can use the consonant lamp to reincarnate Yixi, why can't the civet cat reincarnate Yixi?" Ayou's cloak fluctuated layer by layer, obviously quite surprised: "You mean that the reappearance of the peach blossom in the prophecy refers to rebirth overnight? Is it rebirth, not reincarnation, not reincarnation, or even a stream?" Chen Fei lowered his eyes, nodded solemnly after a while. Ayou murmured: "I'm afraid that's what you hoped for, isn't it?" Before Chen Fei could reply, she suddenly burst out laughing, "Needless to say, I understand...it's been sixteen years, so you're still... ...I see..." The laughter was weird, as if it implied a lot of taboos and bitterness. "Ayou—" Chen Fei called her, but she turned around as if she had never heard of it, and walked slowly while muttering "So that's how it is".The night was quiet, and the street lamps dragged her shadow very long, which was quite bleak when reflected on the bluestone floor. The lantern hanging in front of the eaves of an inn was shaken by the wind, finally unable to withstand the wind, fell to the ground, rolled a few times and stopped at my feet, the lights were extinguished by the rain. Chen Fei stood silently for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Let's go." But I took a few steps back, stared at him and said, "I feel like a fool. I don't understand what you're saying." Chen Fei turned his head and said, "There are many things that you don't need to understand." "But I want to know!" I bit my lip and insisted, "Tell me, what kind of person is Yixi? What happened between you and her? Please tell me, I want you to tell me what happened before. I!" As I spoke, I stepped forward to grab his hand, but my fingertips were wetted by the warm liquid, and I slowly took his right hand in my hands, only to see two long and thin red marks on the palm, like the ends of a woman's eyebrows. The desperation of the world - from indifference to grace, from grace to cruelty. He looked at the two red marks, and there was a deep pain in his eyes. He broke Ayou's pipa with a witch peach leaf just now, but he also hurt himself, why did this happen?Could it be that the peach leaves devoured the Lord? ! Chen Feixiao was as weird as Ahyou's before he left. He said, "It turns out that I am not Jian Lingxi."
The rain is urgent, the wind is sudden, and the pipa wants to die. Everything around her was abandoned, and all she could see was the woman's fingertips, twitching rapidly on the strings, becoming more and more anxious. In "House of Flying Daggers", Xiang Yu died.Now, what is foreshadowing?Xueyu Hongyan, Baimo Sutie, and Biluo Pipa reappeared in the Jianghu one by one.
