Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven: The Peerless Beauty Who Dances the Sword

After really falling asleep, there are no dreams. I don't even know if time flows by. I don't know how long it took, but the Dongguan Brigade breathed quietly and turned over quietly, as if hearing something or smelling something. But that feeling is too weak, there is no way to pull him back to another clear world. So he fell into a deep sleep again. But I don't know when it started, but there was a hot liquid flowing down the throat smoothly. The liquid flowed into the throat, as if it would spread around the body, turning into a concrete sense of fullness. It was this sense of fulfillment that gradually pulled him back to that clear world.

When the Dongguan brigade opened his eyes again, he could only smell a faint scent of fragrant powder. Looking around, I can only see a dazzling red, but that kind of red is different from the red of the flame, it has a warm and safe feeling. Gathering his mind, he moved his body intuitively, but felt pain all over his body, as if there was a deep pain in the deepest part of his bones. But this kind of pain actually made the mind clearer, and when he calmed down, he realized that he was sleeping in a brightly red bedding. The candlelight was dimly lit, reflecting on the embroidered bed curtain, showing strange light and shadow.

Moreover, from between the pillows and mattresses, you can also smell a faint smell of women's powder. The Dongguan Brigade had never slept on such a comfortable mattress in its life, and for a moment, it was very tempting to close its eyes again and wake up from this ridiculous dream. It was only after closing his eyes that he didn't feel sleepy at all, and only then did he realize that the scene in front of him was not a dream, but a real reality. He got up from the bed suspiciously and curiously, only to find that his body was tightly wrapped with a lot of gauze. With such a simple movement, the pain all over his body was aroused again, and there was a scorching dryness between his lips. thirsty.

He collected himself, sat on the edge of the bed, and saw a small comb in front of the bed?There was a kettle on the stage, he didn't care what was in the pot, so he picked up the kettle, opened his mouth and poured it vigorously. Fortunately, it seemed that there was really only clear water in the pot. The East Gate Brigade drank a few mouthfuls before sitting on the sofa panting for breath.In front of the stage. After panting like this for a while, the Dongguan Brigade unconsciously glanced at the comb?When I saw the bronze mirror on the stage, I couldn't help being shocked. Because in the bronze mirror, there unexpectedly appeared a weirdo who looked like a boiled egg!

Not a single hair, no eyebrows, no facial hair at all. Anyone would be shocked to see such a strange person, but the strange person in the mirror also had wide eyes and a pale face. The Dongguan brigade was shocked, his whole leg went limp, and he fell to the ground with a "bang". Because he suddenly discovered that the bald weirdo in the mirror who looked like a hard-boiled egg turned out to be himself! And in the mirror, he also saw countless scorched black scars faintly on his body. Lying on the ground, I only felt a coolness of the earth's air coming up from my back. This kind of cold air is very helpful to the clarity of the mind. The Dongguan Brigade lay on the ground blankly, with messy thoughts in his mind and endless disturbances.

What I think about the most, of course, is what happened to me? At this moment, in the silent air, a pleasant sound like wind and rain suddenly came. Of course, that sound was not the real sound of wind and rain. The weather outside was clear at this time, and the twinkling stars in the night sky could be seen through the window lattice. Where does the sound of wind and rain without wind and rain come from? The Dongguan brigade half-crawled and half-walked, tried to support himself and walked to the door, only to see a flat open space in front of the door, reflecting the moonlight, but with a more radiant light than the moonlight.

It was a beautiful woman in a purple veil, about twenty years old, with a slender figure, holding a cold carved long sword in her slender long fingers, with a long purple silk tassel tied on the sword. The brilliance of the dancing sword keeps stirring the circle, the silvery white sword flower and the purple ear circle, reflecting the magical shape under the moonlight. I saw that the woman's figure was extremely beautiful. Although she was practicing swordsmanship, her clothes fluttered and her steps were nimble, which was more beautiful than any dancing posture. The sound of wind and rain heard by the Dongguan Brigade just now was the pleasant sound of the blade piercing the air when the woman danced her sword. I saw her wrist turned slightly, and I didn't see her exerting any force, but the circle-like sword flower was a Anxiously like one, and the light is getting stronger and stronger.

The circles of light piercing through the air seemed to be able to cut through the air, and there seemed to be huge incisions left by the blades. Although it is such a powerful sword energy, the woman is calm and relaxed. She doesn't seem to be dancing a sword in a big movement, but it seems that she is fanning a small fan in the afternoon, patting the pink butterflies among the flowers, and picking a beautiful flower at random. rose. The Dongguan Brigade looked at this dazzling and peerless sword in amazement, with its mouth open wide, and it stood there in a daze. After a while, the lightning-like dew-like sword circle gradually dimmed, and the woman's sword dance came to an end. Three swords "咻咻咻" were drawn out, and with a beautiful backhand, she retracted the copper sword behind her back.

She closed her eyes, as if concentrating on breathing, and then slowly opened them after a while. After opening his eyes, the Dongguan Brigade who stood there stunned, saw this bald boy, and the beautiful sword-wielding woman stared quietly, and then looked like a flower blooming on her face. Smile brightly. "You're awake! I'm so worried that you won't be able to wake up!" She smiled brightly, her cheerful voice was completely different from the solemn beauty just now. "My name is Jianyu, Gongsun Jianyu, what's your name?" "I..." Dongguan Brigade murmured, "I am Dongguan Brigade."

"Dongguan Brigade?" Gongsun Jianyu smiled and said, "What a nice name," she approached as she spoke, and when she walked in front of Dongguan Brigade, she suddenly showed a narrow expression and reached out to touch his bald head. The Dongguan brigade was embarrassed, and instinctively wanted to dodge, but felt that it was wrong, so he could only stand on the spot in embarrassment. Gongsun Jianyu laughed like a silver bell, and also took advantage of the situation to withdraw his hands. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Her laughter had a strange cheerful charm, although it was in a moonlit night, it made people seem to be seeing the sun. "But it's really easy to touch! Before you woke up, I even touched it a few times!"

As if they had known each other for a long time, the Dongguan Brigade soon became acquainted with this strange and beautiful woman.Gongsun Jianyu gave him a brief description of how he was found unconscious on the ground, and only then did the young man roughly understand what happened at that time. It turned out that there was an open space near the forest, which was very bright under the moonlight, so Gongsun Jianyu often went there to practice swords in the middle of the night. But the woods where Dongguan Brigade, Hu'er, and Ni Luji rested was a place that no one dared to approach. That forest is a very deep, empty mountain and desolate place, usually few people visit, but occasionally strange people or mountain woodcutters approach, there will always be extremely strange and terrifying things happening. The woodcutters who are familiar with the mountains and forests all earnestly warned not to approach this forest, because several woodcutters once saw strange demon figures in the woods, and those who dared to approach the forest never came back. And the strangers who are more familiar with unusual things can also see that there is a lot to read here, like Gongsun Jianyu who once saw a strange magical light glowing from the woods on a moonlit night. That night, Gongsun Jianyu came to the open space to practice sword again, and when he first arrived, he could still see the faint light of fire, probably when Dongguan Brigade and others were resting there by lighting a fire. After practicing the sword in the middle of the night, Gongsun Jianyu took a short rest and leaned on the sword to look up at the vaster universe and starry sky in the middle of the night. After watching it for a while, she began to feel a little dazed. Because, in the familiar starry sky, a huge skylight was "opened"! The reason for using "open a skylight" to describe it is because Gongsun Jianyu didn't know how to describe the scene he saw.She has been trained by a different person since she was a child, she has a little knowledge of astronomy and astrology, and is quite familiar with the stars in the sky, but on that night, the entire starry sky completely changed its appearance, and the positions of many stars were twisted and twisted. The sky in the south actually shone with a strong light, as if a window had suddenly "opened" in the sky. Within the scope of the "window", there is only a blue sky that does not seem to be at night, and it seems that there are clear white clouds in between. Just ignoring it, I only heard the "skylight" rumble, and a light blue light burst out, and a circle of clear blue light appeared from there. The blue aperture slowly descended, and after "spitting out" the blue light, the skylight slowly closed. The movement of shrinking and the speed of the falling of the aperture reflect each other, which looks really good-looking. The place where the light circle falls is the forest where the demons often appear. When the aperture fell into the woods, the "windows" on the sky were almost closed. Then, without warning, the astonishing scene happened in an instant. Thinking of that terrible and shocking scene, Gongsun Jianyu still turned pale when he thought about it afterwards. "After the blue halo fell into the forest, I was still thinking about whether I should go there to find out!" Gongsun Jianyu sighed: "But if I go, maybe I will suffer the same blame as you Hurt!" Dongguan Brigade looked at her beautiful lips blankly, but the words flowing smoothly from there sounded even more bewildered. "While I was still hesitating there, suddenly the whole wood was lit up like day, but in a way I had never seen before. If you insist on making it clear, it is like a hundred lightning flashes suddenly before your eyes, but the lightning is not accompanied by thunder.Because it is very quiet, very quiet, there is no sound at all. Moreover, it seemed as if something was shaking on the ground, and it began to shake so violently that your whole body went numb and you couldn't stand on your feet. You know, we sword practitioners are the ones who place the most weight on the foot. As long as we stand still, even ten big men can't let me move a single step. But that strange vibration and numbness appeared within two seconds, clean and neat, and I fell to the ground with my whole body on my back. But the strange vibration came and went quickly, and disappeared in just a moment. Before the shock came, there was actually something weird about it. I seemed to see a strange thing like a big circle, which appeared from the forest emitting strong light, and the circle became bigger and bigger, spreading out in all directions. Those vibrations seemed to emanate from this circle. " The scene that night was indeed like this. Gongsun Jianyu lived in the seventh century B.C., so of course she didn't know that what she witnessed was a small-scale alternative magnetic explosion. Even if her knowledge was advanced by three thousand years, she might not know what it was. Even in the 24th century A.D., three thousand years later, scientists are still unable to fully control the strong power of this magnetic field distortion. They only know that some people from interstellar civilizations can use it to distort all things in the existing world, including matter, spirit, Space can even affect the most difficult to grasp "time". In fact, scientists in the 22nd century once listed two phenomena in the universe as the most impenetrable mysteries through the ages. The first is a cosmic phenomenon that was discovered in the early days of science: black holes, and the other is black holes. It is a magnetic explosion capable of distorting any known matter or non-matter. But all of this was of course completely meaningless to Gongsun Jianyu. She got up from the ground in a bit of a panic, thought for a while, and then plucked up the courage to walk into the woods. In the dark forest, the moonlight occasionally shines in, the road is not difficult to walk, and it is strange that there is a faint yellow light in the depths of the forest, as if it is guiding people to go there. After walking for a while, Gongsun Jianyu had arrived at the place where Dongguan Brigade and the others settled down. When they got there, they saw that the bark and leaves around them were all scorched, but that kind of scorching didn't look like they were burning and growing. Yes, it seems that it will be so dry after being exposed to the sun for many days. But here is a dense forest that does not see the sun, how can there be excessive sun exposure? When he reached the brightest part of the yellow light, Gongsun Jianyu's eyes blurred. At that moment, he saw fire, water-colored luster, and silent lightning floating in the forest, but when he looked closely, he saw nothing. The only thing I saw was the Dongguan Brigade with strange burns lying on the brightest part of the yellow light. He was naked, with faint burn marks on his body, and all parts of his body, as long as there was hair, were completely burned. Except for the discovery of the Dongguan Brigade, the entire open space in the forest was empty and there was nothing. "Nothing?" Dongguan brigade exclaimed, "No demons? No sign of my friends?" "Let me tell you clearly again, look at my mouth," Gongsun Jianyu said with a smile, pointing at her beautiful red lips, and said very decisively. "No... yes, nothing. No fire, no footprints, no stones, grass, or dead branches on the ground. All in all, it was an extremely weird open space, you and that ball of yellow light were right in the middle of the open space, extending from where you were lying, within a range of about twenty steps, there was nothing, just take A big broom may not be able to sweep it so clean! " The Dongguan Brigade was stunned, and after a long time, he murmured. "It's so strange... so strange, what happened at that time? What happened to Hu'er and Senior Ni?" "Hu'er?" Gongsun Jianyu wondered, "Who is that?" The East Gate Brigade scratched his head, and when his fingers touched the scalp, he realized that his head was smooth, and it was really easy to touch. Gongsun Jianyu laughed loudly. After laughing, Dongguan Brigade briefly explained his own affairs, how he lived with his adoptive parents in the mountains and forests, how he was ruined by Dou Ziyu's subordinates, how he met After meeting Hu'er, how did he meet Ni Chengji. Gongsun Jianyu listened carefully to his narration, originally she still had a relaxed smile on her face, but after hearing Dou Ziyu's name a few times, a complex expression began to appear on her face. But the Dongguan Brigade was young after all, so he didn't notice the difference in the expression on her face. He told about himself, Hu'er and Ni Chengji, and when he talked about Dou Ziyu's men killing his adoptive parents, he still gritted his teeth. After the narration came to a paragraph, Gongsun Jianyu looked at him meaningfully and said calmly. "So, you insist on seeking revenge from Dou Ziyu?" The East Gate Brigade was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "yes." Gongsun Jianyu thought for a while, and his expression turned solemn. "You are a child, and I will not hide it from you," her voice was a little low, but her words were no longer as cheerful as before. "I just hope you remember what I said. In today's world, in such a large territory as the Chu State, as long as the king of Chu's decree reaches, no one dares to disobey the Doujia's words.And that Dou Ziyu is the person with the highest authority among the Dou family. Among the Dou family no one in the whole country dares to disobey, no one dares to say a word against Dou Ziyu. As long as he says that he wants you to die in the morning, you will definitely not He will live past noon, he is such a domineering person. So, I want you to promise me that you don't have to mention the word revenge again. In fact, I'm not even sure whether you can escape from his men. The point today is not whether you can take revenge, but whether you can keep this little life. " Dongguan Brigade's complexion changed slightly, he forced a smile, wanted to say something beautiful, but didn't know what to say. Because when he said he wanted revenge at the beginning, he didn't expect to go deeper. Now that Gongsun Jianyu told the truth, the young man realized that what she said was extremely correct. "You have to know that you have offended Dou Ziyu now. Remember, you don't have a grudge against Dou Ziyu. In the state of Chu, no one can have a grudge against him, not even the king of Chu, because of him. authority," Gongsun Jianyu said with a worried face. "Now I want you to promise me one thing." "What's the matter?" Dongguan Brigade wondered. "From today onwards, you have to stay here for a while, because I'm not sure if you will be hacked to death as soon as you walk out of my place, but at least here, no one dares to do anything to you," Gongsun Jianyu said. He smiled lightly and said, "As for how to save your life, we will discuss it later." "Can't go out even one step?" The Dongguan Brigade asked in surprise. "You can't go out even one step," Gongsun Jianyu nodded. "Unless I say yes." The two talked and talked, and before they knew it, it was early morning, and they could only hear the voices of people outside the room gradually becoming noisy, besides the sound of talking and laughing loudly, there were also the voices of women's coquettish laughter, and the sound of silk and bamboo musical instruments. Dongguan Brigade was very curious, and wanted to ask Gongsun Jianyu what kind of place it was, but saw her saying it calmly. "The place where I live is a brothel, a land of love and moon, a place where men seek flowers and ask willows. I am the proprietress of this brothel. Do you have any questions?" The East Gate Brigade's eyes widened, as if they had heard the most unbelievable words. Seeing his expression, Gongsun Jianyu let out a cold "hum". "It's a brothel, so what about you?" Her expression turned cold, she stared at Dongguan Brigade, and said angrily: "Are you like those men who think they are high, and you also look down on prostitutes? If you look down on this place , I won’t force you either, just go wherever you like!” The East Gate Brigade listened to her talk in a daze, and after a long while, he asked shyly. "I...I don't know...what is a brothel?" Gongsun Jianyu was stunned, remembering that this simple young man grew up in the mountains and forests, and had only been to the city once in his life, so maybe he didn't even know what a brothel was. After figuring out this link, her complexion changed, and a beautiful smile bloomed on her face. She was originally a cheerful and informal person, but now she was in a good mood, so she rolled her eyes and opened her arms to hug the bald head of the East Gate Brigade. In my arms, I laughed. "Good boy! Good boy! You really don't know what a brothel is," she laughed loudly, "Just because you are so cute, no matter what the evil is, my sister must bear it!"
