Chapter 4 Chapter 3 Wen Baoyu intends to marry into Lanjiadong

When the little old man said this, he fixed his eyes on me, and his meaning was very easy to understand: "If you want to marry such a lovely girl, it's right to set up a ladder of heaven, isn't it?" I also think it should, but the problem is that Wen Baoyu is not a member of the gang at all, nor is he a figure in the world. He is a civilized person, and he is absolutely not suitable for such ancient and dark behavior. I forced a smile: "Have you ever thought about what will happen if he fails?" The little old man and the long-faced woman said in unison: "How come, if he and Lansi can become a couple, God's will will let him pass."

I flew into a rage and almost had a seizure.I have said many times that the action of "rolling the ladder" is extremely backward to barbarism, and this is the main reason; they believe that the fate of the actor is arranged by God's own will. If God allows him to pass the test, then he Even if he lived in a cave with a hundred hungry wolves for three days, he would be safe and sound. God willing! My complexion must be extremely ugly, because of the little old man's expression, I feel a little uncomfortable. A combination of superstition, barbarism, darkness, and mystery was about to happen to Wen Baoyu, but Wen Baoyu obviously didn't know the seriousness of it, and even put on an expression of eagerness to try.

I felt unable to handle it, so I had no choice but to look at Bai Su: "We need to talk to Xiaobao carefully." Bai Su smiled wryly - she rarely had such an expression: "There is nothing to say, Xiaobao has already promised her repeatedly, and he cannot go back, unless he suddenly changes his mind and doesn't want Miss Lansi anymore." Wen Baoyu didn't feel anything at all in the first half of Bai Su's words, but the last sentence made him jump up as if he was sitting on a red-hot iron board, shaking his hands and head together, and even his voice changed. Le: "Don't be kidding, then... absolutely not."

Judging from Wen Baoyu's expression, this pair of young lovers may not only be as simple as a mountain alliance, but there may be an alliance that we don't know about. I made a gesture to Wen Baoyu, telling him not to jump his feet first, and then said: "They come from Miaojiang and are completely out of touch with civilized society. They believe in God's will, and if they think that God's will will not hurt you, even if you jump from Baizhang cliff Go down, and you won't die." At this moment, Wen Baoyu at least felt the seriousness of the matter, and he opened his mouth wide: "Will this kind of situation happen...in the process of climbing the ladder?"

I sighed: "It must be, and it may be the most preliminary one. Xiaobao, I absolutely don't agree with you going to build a ladder──" Having said that, I waved my hand vigorously again, and said angrily: "This kind of behavior should have been extinct long ago. I really didn't expect someone to openly bring it up. Although you promised, there is absolutely no obligation to abide by this kind of behavior." Ludicrous promise." What I said was very serious, and the twelve people couldn't understand what I said, but we can also see from our expressions that things have changed very seriously, so their expressions are also very nervous, but they don't He didn't ask any questions, but just stared at us with very gloomy eyes.

Wen Heyu's expression was extremely troubled, he shook hands vigorously, and said repeatedly: "Then what should I do? What should I do?" I saw his situation, he was deeply in love with Lansi, and he would not marry anyone other than Qing.But he is very young after all, and it is rare for him to leave his lifelong love life so early, so he can naturally be persuaded. I sighed again: "Xiaobao, it's one thing for you to love Lansi, and it's not worth dying for it." This boy Wen Baoyu didn't listen to me, he said: "No, Lansi won't harm me, she has no reason to ask me to risk my life, maybe you are overthinking."

I raised my voice: "Maybe Lansi doesn't know what they want you to do?" Wen Baoyu said: "How could it be? Lansi and them are as close as parents and children, they must have discussed it long ago." My endurance has reached its peak, and my expression is naturally extremely ugly, and my voice is also very ugly: "You like Lansi so much, I have a way, ask Leman Hospital to make a copy of Lansi for you." Wen Baoyu laughed in astonishment: "Who would want a replicant?" I hurriedly said: "Give them the duplicators, what you want is the real Lansi, so what's wrong with that?"

Bai Su was on the side, although he didn't intervene, he kept shaking his head, obviously thinking that my proposal was extremely absurd and whimsical. Wen Baoyu sighed: "It won't work, maybe the sky ladder is a necessary procedure to test my courage, otherwise, Lansi will look down on me." My face was livid with anger, and I suddenly turned around to face the twelve people.Perhaps it was because of my extraordinary imposing manner at that time, all of the twelve people stood upright, waiting for me to speak. I first said to Bai Su: "Tell our conversation to this little lover, so that he can know his situation."

Bai Su agreed, and then I said to the twelve people: "Just now, I was trying to persuade Wen Baoyu not to accept your request!" The little old man was very cunning, and he insisted: "How can it be, he himself promised repeatedly." I sneered: "That's because he doesn't know your real identities! In such an unclear situation, he can withdraw his promise! Excuse me, what are your real identities?" The twelve people looked at each other with serious expressions, and it seemed that they were not ready to answer my question. I just sneered: "Although Tianguanmen has disappeared for many years, it is not easy for people to forget - you have killed too many people, and the way you kill people is not flattering!"

As soon as I uttered my words, Bai Su passed them on to Wen Baoyu. Since Bai Su could fully understand what I was going to say, her "interpretation" was surprisingly fast.As soon as I finished, she almost finished too! The reaction to my words will be intense, as I expected.First, those twelve people suddenly stood up again—it was very different from the last time they heard that I knew the chief of Gu Miao.Last time they stood up abruptly, full of respect.But at this time, the hostility they showed almost turned into a gust of wind, swirling around in the living room, making people feel cold all over, it was indescribably weird!

And Wen Baoyu also shouted at this moment: "What nonsense are you talking about the official family of heaven, they all come from Lanjiadong..." I can no longer distract myself from dealing with Wen Baoyu, I must concentrate on facing these twelve people, because no one knows what they will do next after they stand up! Bai Su obviously understands this serious situation, so she said in a deep voice: "Xiaobao, you'd better keep quiet, you don't understand anything about this place!" Bai Su, who has always been gentle, said such words, which already showed the seriousness of the situation.If I used the same words to warn, Wen Baoyu would definitely not accept it.But such words came from Bai Su's mouth, I don't know what his expression is, and soon, I didn't hear his voice again. And those twelve people, after standing up, their bodies seemed to have suddenly become rigid, and they did not move at all. The twelve people stood in different postures, some stood upright, some bent, some leaned forward, and some Leaning backwards, everyone is motionless, which is really weird. And their faces became extremely ugly.Originally their complexion was very dark, but at this moment, there was a layer of dead gray in the black, which was so ugly that it was indescribable. The most strange thing is their eyes.There is no doubt that there is a strong, unhesitating killing intent in the eyes of each of them. Just making contact with this kind of eyes can feel the threat of death. I very much hope that Wen Baoyu can also see the eyes of these twelve people, then he can at least know what kind of people these people are. Wen Baoyu saw it, even though those twelve people stared at me with murderous intent, he also noticed it. Afterwards, he talked nonsense to Liang Chen Meijing and others, and talked about what happened at that time, he said: "As soon as these twelve people stood up—everyone's eyes were on Wesley, my God! In an instant, I only felt that it was over. Then Not twelve eyes, but twelve weapons, knives, guns, axes, everything, shoot at Wesley, he has been killed!" At that time, although I was not actually killed, it was not easy to resist the gazes of these twelve people. I tried my best to straighten my body and pretend that nothing had happened, but in fact, the inside of my body Every nerve in my heart is like a taut bowstring. I don't remember how long we were in a stalemate - Bai Su said later, it was about two minutes, she was really afraid that I would not be able to support it.And the two minutes of stalemate, I feel more dangerous than a fierce battle. But the next change was beyond my expectation. Starting from the little old man, the murderous intent in the eyes of the twelve of them gradually faded away, and soon I no longer felt any threat, and at this moment, He took a deep breath. Next, what the little old man said was far beyond my expectation. The little old man breathed a sigh of relief before speaking, his voice was a little rusty and trembling, it can be seen that he was quite excited when he said these words.What he said was, "Mr. Wei is really amazing, even a small person like us who has always been active in the Miao District knows the origin at a glance!" I didn't respond, I just stretched the muscles on my face - like a sneer, but there was no laughter. The little old man continued: "Indeed, the previous reputation of the Tianguanmen... and their actions are really unworthy of mention. But since forty years ago, the previous generation of the Twelve Heavenly Officials of the Tianguanmen were hunted down by the entire battalion of troops. After being seriously injured and hiding in Lanjiadong, the situation is different..." He paused for a while when he was talking, and I took a deep breath. I am afraid that I am not the only one who knows nothing about what happened forty years ago. up. The entire battalion of soldiers with modern weapons hunted and killed the mysterious Twelve Heavenly Officials with strong killing methods. I don't know how many thrilling things happened. I am afraid that the army can no longer take advantage of it. There must be many soldiers , died at their hands. When the little old man said this, the atmosphere had eased a lot, Bai Su naturally passed the words on to Wen Baoyu, I didn't turn my head to him until then, I saw that he opened his mouth wide, like an idiot. The little old man sighed and continued: "The Twelve Heavenly Officials hid in Lanjiadong, so they are naturally safe - the situation in Lanjiadong is very dangerous, and the place where it is located is at the border of a country. It is not clear which country it belongs to." I can’t tell. Lanjiadong is already good at Gu art──” When he said this, he made a gesture and did not forget to add: "Naturally, it is not as good as Chief Mengge's family." I also made a gesture, asking him to continue. The little old man took a breath: "The Twelve Heavenly Officials' Gu skills are much more sophisticated than ours, and in order to thank Lanjiadong for taking them in, they selected twelve young children of different ages from the cave, and started Teaching. These twelve are the twelve of us now. They not only taught Gu art, but also taught us very superb martial arts. Since then, the twelve of us have been inseparable, just like the twelve heavenly officials. " I replied: "You are the Twelve Heavenly Officials, the previous generation passed everything on to you?" The little old man said: "It can be said that way, but it is somewhat different." At this moment, the long-faced woman interjected: "When these twelve people were taken in in the cave, they didn't even know who they were. They didn't tell their origins until before they died!" I asked in amazement: "The Twelve Heavenly Officials... even die together?" The little old man's tone was very flat, as if he was talking about something very ordinary and taken for granted.He said: "When they became twelve heavenly officials, they all made an oath: they can't be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but they hope to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day! Now that you have made an oath, you must obey it!" When he said this, he looked at Wen Baoyu, and I hurriedly looked at Wen Baoyu, but he still opened his mouth wide, looking like an idiot—he thinks he is well-informed and has had many extraordinary experiences. It seems that at this time, he realized that there are many incredible things in the world. At this moment, Bai Su suddenly said coldly: "It's not just as simple as an oath, there is also a binding force." I don't think Bai Su knows more about Miaodong and Tianguanmen than I do, but she is more careful than I am, so it is easy to make correct guesses.At this time, she expressed her conjecture in a very positive tone, just in one sentence.After being stunned for a moment, the little old man said: "Yes, when the twelve formed an alliance, they fell into the 'Unity Gu'. Since then, the twelve have one heart, life and death together, and no one can live alone." Although I also have a certain understanding of Gu art, but it is only superficial and I don't know the content.The little old man said this, so naturally among the twelve people, if someone does not want to die, death will inevitably come and cannot be avoided. For a while, there was no sound in the living room.After a while, the little old man said again: "It wasn't until that day that we knew for the first time that we were twelve heavenly officials. The twelve heavenly officials of the previous generation told us in detail about the situation of the Tianguan sect. ——Using Gu to kill people, accepting appointments, regardless of whether the person killed is a good person or a bad person, sometimes, Gu is like a plague, it will spread automatically, not only affecting many innocent people, but also for a long time, indeed It hurt a lot of people." When the little old man said these words, his expression was very solemn, but his tone of voice was quite flat, which made people feel that he was talking about other people's affairs, not his own. I sighed lowly: "The legends of the rivers and lakes render Tianguanmen very terrifying, and it makes people turn pale when they talk about it." The little old man continued: "At that time, they had been in the cave for twenty years. During those twenty years, of course, they never killed anyone. They just taught us with all their heart, and also taught us about the things in the outside world. Tell us that everyone in Dongdong respects them very much. Moreover, they themselves regret their past behavior very much, and they have repeatedly warned us not to follow suit. Therefore, the teaching of the "Tianguanmen" we got has nothing to do with the previous Tianguanmen! " I believe what the little old man said is the truth, but I still care about their gaze just now, I said: "Just now, when I told you your origins in one word, you didn't think of killing people?" The twelve people all softened together, and the long-faced woman said: "This is our biggest secret. Before the death of the previous generation of twelve heavenly officials, they told us not to leave Lanjiadong for at least another twenty years. When that time comes, Surely no one will know what is going on with Tianguanmen. But you said it all at once, how could it not be shocking?" Although the gazes of the twelve of them were terrifying just now, they did not make a move after all.And I believe that if these twelve people fight together, not to mention they are proficient in Gu, but their superb martial arts, whether Bai Su and I can handle it is still a big question. They did not make a move, which at least proved that they were not hostile, and I breathed a sigh of relief: "Please sit down, let's continue to discuss the issue of the ladder - can you reveal a little bit first?" The little old man sighed: "Mr. Wei, you worry too much. Lansi likes this guy, and we like him right away. Why do you make things difficult for him? It's just to give him a chance." I smiled wryly: "You still don't understand one thing. He grew up in the city, and his lifestyle is completely different from yours. For you, letting ten poisonous spiders crawl on your tongue is child's play. But for him, it was a deadly adventure." The little old man sighed again: "But he always wants to live with Lan Si, doesn't he?" I waved my hand vigorously: "Even if it is, Lansi will come to the city and live a civilized life with him, instead of him going to Miaodong to become a Miao people." I think I am not justified in saying this, but when the twelve people heard it, they all showed surprise and inexplicable expressions.The little old man immediately said: "Mr. Wei, you made a mistake! After we found Lansi back then, as soon as we brought her into the cave, the cave owner said: Look at this girl, there are patterns of scorpions and centipedes on her legs." , must have been descended from the Gu God, or sent by the Gu God, and must be the master of the Lanjiadong in the future." When he said this, he paused for a moment, I could hear something strange in it, and immediately looked at Wen Baoyu, Wen Baoyu shrank his head and looked like a thief, which made me even more angry. The little old man continued: "Of course the owner of the cave lives in the cave. Although she is currently dropping her title, she will return to Lanjiadong to take over as the owner of the cave in a short time. Mr. Wen knows all about it." I shouted loudly: "Xiao Bao." Wen Baoyu hurriedly shouted: "I have the right to decide where I live." This sentence, on the contrary, no longer made me angry, I was just disheartened for a moment-I fought for him like this, but he thought I was hindering his freedom. So instead of being angry, I smiled: "Great, great, no one can violate your great freedom, please." Wen Baoyu blushed: "It's the principle you have always insisted on. Why did you change your attitude when you disagreed with me?" I sneered: "I didn't suggest that your parents build an iron cage to lock you up. I told you to please! Do you hear that? Please do whatever you want, you can go wherever you like." Wen Baoyu's face turned even redder, he could naturally know from my demeanor and words that I was very angry, so he turned to look at Bai Su.Bai Su shook his head, also with a very reproachful expression: "No one here will object to the matter between you and Lansi. On the contrary, we have devised many ways to discuss how to persuade Lingtang. But you don't treat us as a Friend, even if you promised her that you would live in Lanjiadong in the future, you never thought of telling us about such an important matter?" Wen Baoyu is still arguing: "People always have some private secrets." I couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Get out of here! It's best not to let me see you again." At the same time, I said to the twelve people: "Whatever you do to him is none of my business. You can take him away immediately and go to climb the ladder." The twelve people were naturally very angry when they saw me, but when they heard that I would no longer interfere with Wen Baoyu's ladder, they showed a very happy expression, walked over together, and surrounded Wen Baoyu. From Wen Baoyu's point of view, he still wanted to say something to me.But I ignored him at all, and went upstairs. On the stairs, I called to Bai Su: "Don't pry into other people's private secrets, and don't violate other people's freedom." When I entered the study, I heard the sound of opening and closing the door, and the sound of Bai Su coming up.Then, Bai Su appeared at the door of the study, and said softly: "I haven't seen you so angry for a long time." I smiled wryly: "Why did it take so long, I have never been so angry in my whole life, it's so unreasonable, I don't know what is good or bad!" Bai Su sighed: "Everyone has their own ideas, maybe he really wants to live in Miaodong with Lan Si, and he has his own rights." I sneered: "Why hasn't he told us about it?" Bai Su thought for a while: "We don't tell him everything, people always have some private secrets." Even Bai Su said the same thing - but I stared at Bai Su for a while, but I couldn't refute her words. I waved my hand vigorously: "Forget it, this can be said to be the greatest romance of this century—but I don't think he knows how to pass his mother's test." Bai Su said: "In my opinion, Wen Baoyu has to be the son-in-law of Lanjiadong at least a few years after he turns 21, so don't worry about him so early." I hummed: "Miao girl matures early, I'm afraid Lansi won't wait until Wen Baoyu turns twenty-one!" Bai Su was silent for a moment before saying: "When he left just now, he said that he will be fine, so don't worry." I muttered, "Better let the insects eat him!" At this time, I had already made up my mind. I felt that Wen Baoyu's behavior was too unsatisfactory, so my enthusiasm for him could not help but be greatly reduced. How he is is his business, so don't worry too much about it.If you care too much, not only will he not appreciate it, but he will hate it. Naturally, such a decision was rather unpleasant, so I let out a long sigh and looked sullen.Bai Su came to my side, leaned on me lightly, and said in a low voice: "Back then you dared to break into the caves of dragons and tigers for me. The situation at that time was much more dangerous than going to climb the ladder in Miaojiang!" I laughed again. "You don't understand—I'm that, he's not! It's a big difference." Bai Su said: "Since it's his decision, let him learn to be a Miao person. He has the right to do so, as long as he thinks it will bring happiness."
