Chapter 8 The Sound of the Sword, Chapter 1, He Wants to Get Her Drunk

"Where's the knife?" "Can't see the knife." "Why?" "Because when you hear the sound of the knife, you can no longer see the knife." "The sound of the knife?" "With the sound of the knife, everyone dies." "So you only hear the sound of the knife, but you can't see the knife?" "yes." After going back to his room last night, and lying on the bed, Ye Kai realized that his back was drenched in cold sweat before he knew it. Thinking of the battle of Yuan Xing in the hall, if Bai Yiling hadn't come out to relieve the crisis, Ye Kai really couldn't think of the consequences?Zhui Fengsou and Yue Granny were already among the top martial arts masters fifty years ago. Although they are a little older now, the knowledge of martial arts does not distinguish between young and old.

Moreover, the foreheads of Zhui Fengsou and Yue Granny showed a faint red light, this phenomenon will only appear when the inner strength has reached "free operation".In the Yuan Xing fight in the hall, on the surface it seemed that Ye Kai won the victory, but Ye Kai knew that unless he made the first move and used the "Little Li Feidao" as soon as he made the move, otherwise after fifty moves, Ye Kai must lose. Judging from the situation last night, Ma Kongqun didn't seem to know Zhuifengsou and Granny Yue, let alone Bai Yiling knew them very well. From Zhui Fengsou and the others, they learned that Bai Yiling had been living with them and a "Old Man Wang Afraid" for the past few years.

This may prove that Bai Yiling is Bai Yiling, not Ma Fangling, but Ye Kai knows that she can never be Bai Yiling's only daughter. Perhaps even Zhui Fengsou, Yue Granny and that "Old Uncle Wang" don't know her true identity. Who is she?If we can know her identity, we may be able to reveal Wanmatang's secret this time.But how easy is it?If Bai Yiling is really the key to the secret, then she must have done a good job of protecting it, and if she wants to unlock it, she may have to pay a huge price. The sun is rising. The sun is like the hazy eyes of a virgin who has just woken up, casting the soft light in the eyes on the lover beside the bed.

The western sky is still gray, and the morning light has already entered Ye Kai's room from the east. He didn't sleep all night, he actually thought about things all night, but his eyes were not tired at all, instead there was a kind of excited light. He jumped out of bed and made sixty or seventy strange postures beside the bed. His body was like a noodle that could bend and twist at will with his thoughts. I lay on the bed all night without a quilt, my hands and feet were about to freeze from the cold of the city. So when he got out of bed, he quickly made these weird movements. When he reached the eleventh position, his whole body began to warm up. When he stopped, he felt refreshed, radiant and happy. Terrific, just like a person who has had enough sleep and nourished his energy.

Ye Kai opened the door energetically, and faced himself into the lovely sunshine. The treetops swayed, and the sun shone brightly into the woods. The ground was still wet, and the leaves still had the mist from last night. The wind blows the leaves, and the leaves move and the beads fall. Stepping on the freshly fallen dew, Ye Kai has already left this primeval forest that seems to be at the end of the world. This forest is in a valley basin surrounded by mountains. The mountain is suddenly low when it reaches here, so the wind is poured down from above. Although it is the end of summer, although it is not yet the season for the leaves to wither, there are already fallen leaves on the ground.

Just as a man leaves his home for many reasons, so a leaf leaves its branch for many reasons. Ye Kai walked slowly, slowly walked into the deepest part of the forest, a green forest far away from the world of mortals. The wind is still blowing, and the wind is still full of the fragrance of leaves brought from the distant mountains. Although the scorching sun is bright, the sun can't penetrate the dense primitive forest, and the surrounding area is covered with thick green, so thick that it cannot be melted, it is as green as the spring water in the south of the Yangtze River. Except for this piece of thick green and leaves, there seems to be nothing in the world.But in every dense shadow, it seems that unknown monsters are lurking, waiting for the opportunity to rush out and choose people to devour.

The wind blows the leaves, and the leaves move and the beads fall. The sound of "rustling" dissipated after Ye Kai's footsteps, he had already seen the small hill. Small hill. A ring of loess, infinitely desolate. Could such an ordinary small hill have such a mysterious scene as Fu Hongxue said?Ye Kai couldn't help looking at the small hill in doubt, carefully looking at it, and circled around it, no matter how he looked, he couldn't see anything weird about it. I reached out and touched the small hill, and picked up a handful of loess. Although the soil was wet, it was the same as the loess in other places. When I sniffed it close to my nose, it tasted the same.

Ye Kai tilted his palm, letting the loess in his hand return to the earth slowly, his face was full of contemplation. "Could it be the wrong place?" No, Ye Kai denied it in his heart, he looked at Xiao Shanqiu again, wondering, why didn't he see the scene Fu Hongxue said?Isn't the time right?Like Fu Hongxue, he should come in the early hours of the morning. Maybe this little hill would be as shy as the girl in Huaichun, shy to see people during the day, and only dared to show up at night. When he thought of the girl in Huaichun, Ye Kai thought of Su Mingming, who was dressed in white and looked lonely like a resentful woman, whom he saw in the Xiangju Building yesterday.

Thinking of Su Mingming, just as Ye Kai smiled, he heard her voice. "I didn't expect you to know this small hill." Su Mingming suddenly walked out from the thick green shadow: "It's even more unexpected that you are also interested in this small hill." It was such a pleasure to think of this person and to be able to see this person immediately. "How do you know about this small hill?" Ye Kai said with a smile, "Could it be that you are also interested in this small hill?" "Of course I am interested." Su Mingming also smiled: "I have been fascinated by the legend of this small hill since I was a child."

"The legend of the small hill?" Ye Kai lifted his spirits: "Can you tell me about it? I'm fascinated too." "I can tell you, but how will you repay me?" Su Mingming smiled really nicely. "Please have a meal." Ye Kai said, "Or take you to the south of the Yangtze River?" "Jiangnan?" Jiangnan is just two words, but upon hearing these two words, Su Mingming's eyes showed a dreamlike expression, and she suddenly chanted: "Chonghu presents Qingjia, there are three autumn osmanthus, ten li Lotus. Qiang pipes clear the sky, water chestnuts sing at night, playing and fishing old people and lotus babies. Thousands of riders hold tall teeth, listen to Xiao drums while drunk, and enjoy the haze. The beautiful scenery in the future will return to Fengchi to praise."

"This is the word of Liu Yongliu Tuntian." Ye Kai said: "People who have never been to Jiangnan will want to go to Jiangnan, but if you go to Jiangnan, you will miss the border town." Ye Kai's eyes suddenly showed another kind of sorrow. nostalgia. His dream is in Jiangnan. Jiangnan is in his dream. His dream is full of the sorrow of the prodigal son and the sorrow of the wanderer. Three peaceful and beautiful Jiangnan, Jiangnan in the misty rain of apricot blossoms, Jiangnan in the sound of soft oars with many bridges, water and sorrow. Su Mingming's voice became as distant as Jiangnan: "Your hometown is Jiangnan?" "Jiangnan is where I grew up." Ye Kai said lightly. "Then where is your hometown?" Where?border town. Border Town is Ye Kai's hometown. Border Town is where he was born. Border Town also has his dream, but it's just a nightmare. Although the nightmare is far away, the border town is still there. What about people?Bai Baiyu and his wife—Ye Kai's parents, they have already...Ye Kai suddenly shook his head vigorously, as if trying to get rid of a nightmare, and then he laughed again. "The prodigal son is home everywhere, wandering everywhere, wherever he is, that is my home." Ye Kai said with a smile: "Tell me about your little hill legend!" In the desert, which is as hot as an oven, and in a house that is so hot that you can't even breathe, you can still see the bright white snow on the high mountains in the distance. When you are already dying of heat, the snow peaks in the distance are still in sight. Only in the border towns can you see such a spectacle. When you are in the border town and see this spectacle with your own eyes, then even if you are not a Tibetan, you should be able to understand why Tibetans are so romantic.so mysterious?so unreal?This kind of thinking cannot be created overnight. After thousands of generations of romantic, mysterious and beautiful lives, many myths will be produced. There are the most romantic and beautiful myths, and there is also the most mysterious, weirdest, and most terrifying kind of myth, which is the "thousand-year evil spirit". "According to ancient legends, at the edge of the earth, at the end of the world, there is a mountain peak higher than the sky." Su Mingming's voice seemed to come from that mountain peak: "On the mountain there are not only eternal ice and snow, but also a once-in-a-hundred-year phenomenon. Beasts, and there are monsters that are more terrifying than evil spirits." "Are you talking about the Water Peak of Our Lady?" Ye Kai asked. "Yes." Su Mingming said again: "The monster on the peak is a thousand-year-old evil spirit. Not only can it attach to anything, it can even take human form." A strange light suddenly appeared in her resentful eyes, as if she was looking at a place full of mystery, strangeness and evil in the distance. Ye Kai seemed to be confused by her expression. "On the day when thousands of evil spirits took human form, it came to this mountain area and ruled the people here." Su Mingming said: "The people here have been enslaved by it for nearly a hundred years before a savior appeared. Only then did a 'God's Messenger' appear." "God's messenger?" Ye Kai asked. "The envoy of God came here and fought with the thousand-year-old evil spirit for seventy-seven forty-nine days, and then he locked the thousand-year-old evil spirit in this small hill with a 'dharma bowl' of God." "Suppression?" Ye Kai asked again Ask: "Not kill?" "The thousand-year-old evil spirit cannot be killed, it is only locked by the 'dharma bowl'." Su Mingming said: "The messenger of God told the people here that this small hill must not be dug, otherwise the thousand-year-old evil spirit will escape. .” "So this millennium evil spirit is still imprisoned in this small hill?" Ye Kai looked at this ordinary hill: "How many years has it been imprisoned? Has it been a hundred years?" "Four hundred and fifty-six years." Su Mingming said, "It has been imprisoned here for four hundred and fifty-six years." "Four hundred and fifty-six years?" Ye Kai was a little surprised: "How do you remember it so clearly?" "I counted." Su Mingming suddenly smiled: "My grandfather told me when I was young that the thousand-year-old evil spirit was The year it was captured happened to be the year in which the first six comets appeared." "The first six comet appearances?" "This year is the seventh time." Su Mingming said: "It happens every seventy-six years. Isn't the first six times exactly four hundred and fifty-six years?" "The first six times? Comet?" Ye Kai pondered, and after a while, he asked again: "Then do you know how many years are there between the year when the thousand-year evil spirit appeared and the year after it was suppressed by the messenger of God? Wasn't the year in which the comet appeared?" "I don't know." Su Mingming said, "I only know that there was a vision in the sky in the year when the thousand-year-old evil spirit appeared." "Vision?" What kind of vision?Is it also a vision of a comet sweeping across the sky?Ye Kai vaguely remembered that people in ancient times called the alternate star "broom star", because not only did it have a long tail like a broom, but it also brought misfortune every time it appeared. What misfortune has it brought this year?The resurrection of the dead?Ancient legends, ancient evil spirits. Is there really an ancient evil spirit in this small hill?It's really alive?The bright sun cast down from the treetops, casting the shadows of the dancing leaves on the hills. Facing such an ordinary small hill, Ye Kai couldn't believe its legend. If such a thousand-year-old evil spirit really exists in this world, then why do people in the world bother to practice such rare martial arts?Why bother to fight for victory?What's the use of your martial arts?No matter how powerful you are, what can you do?It can't resist the clutches of the thousand-year-old evil spirit. Such a mysterious legend, such a weird myth, does Ye Kai believe it?Don't believe it?He couldn't help but bewildered. Su Mingming stared at Ye Kai with those lonely eyes like a resentful woman: "Are you doubting these legends?" "It's not doubt, I just can't believe it." Ye Kai smiled bitterly: "This is just an ancient and beautiful legend. If I haven't seen it with my own eyes, who can believe it is true? Is it fake?" Su Mingming suddenly showed a mysterious smile: "Is it true or not? The answer lies in this small hill. Let's dig it up and have a look, won't we know?" "Dig it out?" Su Mingming nodded. Ye Kai set his eyes on the small hill again, pondered for a while, and then said, "This is the only way to solve the mystery." He looked up at Su Mingming, and then said, "Aren't you afraid that there really is a thousand-year-old evil spirit inside?" "I can't control that much anymore." Su Mingming suddenly showed a fanatical expression: "I have been looking forward to such a day since I was a child." "How?" Ye Kai smiled: "With both hands?" Si Digging with both hands is fine, but it is too much work. Fortunately, Su Mingming has brought tools, and she took out two iron hoes from the shade of the tree. Seeing that she brought two tools, Ye Kai couldn't help but smiled wryly: "It seems that you have already prepared, you have already made up your mind that I will help you dig." Su Mingming didn't answer, she just smiled lightly, handed Ye Kai an iron pick, and the two started digging. The shadow of the tree shook, the iron hoe went up and down, beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and dripped onto the already damp soil. The more you dig, the more obvious the fanaticism on Su Mingming's face.Those eyes full of loneliness and sorrow mixed with the light of excitement exuded an indescribable passion, which added to her charm. She dug harder than Ye Kai. It seemed that this ancient legend had taken root and sprouted in her heart. She was more anxious than Ye Kai to unravel the thousand-year-old secret. Of course, Ye Kai also wanted to know the secret of this small hill, but his purpose was different from hers. If according to what Fu Hongxue said, this small hill would emit a beam of light that "turns into a human being", then there must be a "human being" in this small hill. reasonable explanation", or "reasonable device". This is what Ye Kai wants to know, but which of the things he encountered recently can be explained with the word "reasonable"?Is there really a thousand-year-old evil spirit hidden in a random hill that can be seen everywhere?Will it really shoot that "turn into a human" beam?It was already noon, but the wind was even more urgent.The wind howled, and the wind blew the body like a knife. The small hill was quickly razed to the ground, revealing the bluestone slab, which is not completely white in daylight, but has a faint cyan color, as pale as a blade that has not drank human blood for many years . "It seems that the thousand-year-old evil spirit has been crushed into a bluestone slab." Ye Kai looked at the bluestone slab and said with a smile. "It was not pressed into a bluestone slab, but pressed under the bluestone slab." Su Mingming also said with a smile. Holding the bluestone slab, Ye Kai and Su Mingming couldn't help but glanced at each other. If there is really a thousand-year-old evil spirit, this bluestone slab will be the key to release it. Although they are anxious to know the thousand-year-old secret, when the critical moment comes, the two of them can't help but hesitate. Seeing Su Mingming's eyes became more intense, Ye Kai gently said, "Take it off!" Sitting on the horse, sinking to the waist, thrusting the strength with both hands, and lifting it vigorously, it's strange, this bluestone slab is really heavy. Su Mingming's face turned red from exertion.Ye Kai had no choice but to add some "internal strength" to his strength, and with a sound of "rise", the bluestone slab was lifted aside.There was no white smoke, no beams of light, and no abnormal sound, only a foul stench came from the nostrils. Su Mingming covered his nose and mouth, and took two steps back: "It stinks!" Although Ye Kai didn't cover his nose and backed away, his nose wrinkled. He waved the air with his hands in front of his face, and then fixed his eyes into the cave. After just one glance, his brows wrinkled. Seeing his frown, Su Mingming didn't care about the stench, and immediately stepped forward to take a look, and couldn't help blurting out: "There's nothing!" As soon as the bluestone slab was lifted, there was nothing underneath but a long hole in which not even an ant could be found, let alone a thousand-year-old evil spirit. "How is it possible?" Su Mingming's eyes widened, and the heat in them had gradually disappeared. "Perhaps the thousand-year-old evil spirit couldn't bear the loneliness and has already sneaked out." Ye Kai smiled again. "After so much effort, I didn't see anything." Su Mingming said disappointedly. "Although I didn't see anything, I could eat it." "Can you eat it?" Su Mingming was taken aback: "What to eat?" "Eat!" Before the dishes were served, Su Mingming took a look at the small restaurant, and then asked Ye Kai. "Why don't you eat at my brother-in-law's?" Su Mingming said, "There is everything in the meeting building, why don't you eat there?" "Whatever you want there, you have to come by yourself. This is one of the troubles." Ye Kai said: "If your brother-in-law, Mr. Xiao, sees me with you, I guarantee that he will tell you that I am a pervert. This is one of the troubles." Two, do you still want to listen to trouble three?" "Trouble three?" "You can avoid meeting acquaintances here." Ye Kai said with a smile: "Because I want to get you drunk." "Drunk me?" The surprised expression on Su Mingming's face, even a three-year-old child could tell it was fake: "Why do you want to get me drunk?" "Boys usually have hundreds of reasons to get a girl drunk." Ye Kai said, "I can assure you, those hundreds of reasons are definitely not as good as my one reason." "What is your reason for this?" "You'll know when the time comes." Ye Kai smiled mysteriously. Su Mingming wanted to ask again, but at this moment Xiao Er just brought the food and wine, so she had to stop, and after Xiao Er left, she hurriedly said, "If you don't tell me, I won't drink." "If you want to know, there's only one way." "any solution?" "Drink first." Ye Kai laughed: "Only by drinking first can you know what my reason is?" The wine is in the bottle, the cup is in the hand, and the person is in front of the bottle. People are still not drunk, and the wine is almost exhausted. They had been drinking for more than an hour, but they didn't feel drunk at all, especially Su Mingming, the more she drank, the more loneliness in her eyes became, as thick as a deep pool under hundreds of feet. After drinking the first cup, Ye Kai knew that it was impossible to get Su Mingming drunk today, and if he could keep himself from getting drunk, it would be his luck. Drinking a glass of wine and eating a bite of food is Su Mingming's way of drinking. After more than an hour, there are more than 30 glasses of wine at least. Thirty glasses of wine, thirty mouthfuls of food, Ye Kai really wondered how these food and wine could fit into Su Mingming's stomach, seeing how thin she was, she really had a big appetite. Ye Kaijiu was still drinkable, but Cai didn't dare to listen to it. He rubbed his stomach, shook his head and sighed. "Why are you sighing?" Su Mingming asked. "I'm such a stupid man." Ye Kai said, "I actually want to get drunk on a woman who grew up sleeping next to me." He sighed again: "Didn't I find it myself?" Su Mingming laughed "puchi": "It's only been more than an hour, and you can't drink anymore?" "It's because I can't eat the food." Ye laughed: "Is it wine? After three hours of drinking, it will probably last." He raised his head, looked at her, and said, "What about you?" Su Mingming didn't answer right away, she smiled first, drank a glass first, then filled the empty glass, and then looked at him: "Do you know when I started drinking?" "Fifteen years old." "Thirteen." Su Mingming said, "When I was thirteen, many people wanted to get me drunk." "The result?" Ye Kai asked, "How many times have you been drunk?" ——This question, as long as it is a man, probably wants to know. "I said I've never been drunk, that's a lie." Su Mingming said with a smile, "Only once." "Once?" Ye Kai shook his head and sighed: "Once is enough." Of course Su Mingming knew what Ye Kai meant, she smiled and said, "That time was at the wedding of my sister and my brother-in-law, and I was drunk by my sister." "By your sister?" "correct." "You drink enough to 'scare people to death', doesn't your sister even scare ghosts to death?" Ye Kai said. "My older sister was originally the famous 'Wine Princess' in 'Lhasa'." Su Mingming said. "Lhasa?" Jia Shikai was slightly taken aback: "Are you talking about Lhasa, the holy place in the eyes of Tibetans?" ""Is there another Lhasa?" " "You and your sister were both born in Lhasa?" "I also grew up there." Su Mingming said, "Our sisters are guaranteed to be 'local chickens' in Lhasa." "Native chicken?" Ye Kai was taken aback again. "That's an adjective." Su Mingming said with a smile: "People who were born and raised in Lhasa are called 'local chickens'." For five consecutive days, the ground was yellow and sandy, and the wind and sand were billowing. Food in border towns is rarely free of sand. A bite of food is equivalent to a mouthful of sand, which is also one of the characteristics of border towns. Fortunately, the windows of the small noodle restaurant where Ye Kai and the others ate were covered with thick rice paper, so there was very little sand in the dishes. The windows not only blocked the wind and sand, but also reduced the power of the scorching sun, but the heat was stronger. Without wind, the heat cannot be driven away. ——There are many things like this in this world. There are advantages and disadvantages, so you don't have to be too fussy about being a human being. Ye Kai wiped the sweat from his forehead, then fanned his hands like a fan, and exhaled straight out of his mouth. Probably because the native "native chickens" have gotten used to the climate here, Su Mingming not only didn't sweat a drop, his face didn't turn red, and he didn't pant for breath. "It seems that you should be a local chicken from the south of the Yangtze River." Su Mingming said with a smile: "This is just the beginning of summer, and you are already like this. What will you do when the real summer comes?" "Cold salad." Ye Kai also smiled: "I only have to soak it in water." Just when Su Mingming was about to laugh, she suddenly heard a voice that sounded like a little girl outside the door. "Don't worry, by then, you might not be in this shitty place anymore." As soon as he heard the voice, Su Mingming suddenly saw a little old woman standing in front of her. Of course Ye Kai knew who this person was, but he really couldn't figure out why Granny Yue appeared here?Su Mingming didn't recognize this little old woman, she had never seen such a strange old woman, and she never thought that she would see such a person. The little old woman looked not only very old, but also very small, in some places much older than anyone, and in others much smaller than anyone. This old woman is really very old and young, but the skin on her face is still like a baby, white and tender, rosy in white, as tender as tofu, and her voice is as delicate as a girl in Huaichun. Su Mingming found that the old woman was really terrible, she almost laughed out loud, because she found that the old woman was looking at Ye Kai with ambiguous eyes. Ye Kai has been stared at by people since he was 13 or 14 years old, especially women. When he was 31 years old, he was still stared at from time to time. He was stared at by all kinds of women. He is used to being looked at by others, but since he was looked at by this little old woman last night, he was actually looked at with embarrassment. Especially now, he was a little uncomfortable being looked at by Grandma Yue again, and his face seemed to be a little hot. "What are you looking at?" Ye Kai couldn't help asking. "Look at you." Grandma Yue replied. Ye Kai sighed deliberately: "I'm already an old man, what do you think I'm doing?" Grandma Yue also sighed deliberately: "I'm already an old woman, who do you look at if you don't look at the old man?" Su Mingming didn't want to laugh at first, but couldn't help it. She suddenly found that this little old woman was really funny.
