Zheng Xiu gave Xie Luohe a bear hug from behind.
At that moment, Zheng Xiu suddenly had the illusion of being immersed in the deep sea.
Each messy fragment flashed quickly in Zheng Xiu's mind.
But at this moment, Zheng Xiu had difficulty distinguishing what these fragments were describing.
A bunch of ferocious veins appeared on Zheng Xiu's forehead.
From the perspective of Cheng Xiao and Bai Xiaosheng, they watched in amazement as the elegant young master Gongsun Mo approached the monster and entered the terrifying shadow like a lone brave man who was not afraid of death.
One word came to their minds at the same time: bravery.
the other side.
Coldness, cruelty, hatred, jealousy...
For a moment, Zheng Xiu had countless distracting thoughts in his mind.
"Sierlo River! That's enough!"
Zheng Xiu bit his tongue, regained some clarity, and roared.
Tick tock.
Xie Luohe's bow-bending movement stopped, the tight bowstring loosened, and a drop of cold liquid fell on the back of Zheng Xiu's hand.
Zheng Xiu initially thought it was Xie Luohe's blood, but the cold feeling told him that it was not.
Xie Luohe's floating long hair hung down, and her taut body suddenly softened.
After a moment of silence.
Xie Luohe snorted coldly: "Where are you grabbing?"
Zheng Xiu was stunned, and the noisy voice in his head receded like a tide.
Only then did he realize that his palms were soft and bouncy, making it difficult to grasp.
So Mr. Zheng let go of his hand expressionlessly and moved it downwards.
"Calm down?" Zheng Xiu asked.
"How long do you want to hold me?"
Xie Luohe's voice was cold.
"Ahem, I'm afraid you'll go crazy."
"Go away, you are crazy. And next time, I will chop off both of your paws."
Xie Luohe turned around and kicked Zheng Xiu away.
It seemed to be very forceful, but when it fell on Zheng Xiu, it was limp, with not much strength left.
Xie Luohe is not one of those pretentious girls who will die after being rubbed twice by Zheng Xiu.
If it had been anyone else, regardless of whether they could get close, they would have accidentally bumped into Xie Luohe, and Xie Luohe would have killed him without even blinking.
But if it is Zheng Xiu.
……never mind.
Xieluohe put the longbow on his back again.
Zheng Xiu innocently raised his hands to show that he didn't do it on purpose. At this time, he noticed that Xie Luohe's hands were still bleeding and tearing! Zheng Xiu tore off his clothes, stepped forward to hold Xie Luohe's hand, and carefully bandaged Xie Luohe.
When Zheng Xiu grabbed his hand, Xie Luohe wanted to get angry, but when he lowered his head and saw Zheng Xiu's serious expression, he fell silent immediately and allowed Zheng Xiu to do whatever he wanted. His lowered eyes were full of complicated and bitter feelings. .
While bandaging, Zheng Xiu pretended to ask casually: "Did you... cry just now?"
"No." Xie Luohe pointed to his left eye: "No."
Xie Luohe's eyes were red, obviously he was telling lies. Zheng Xiu, who was lowering his head to bandage Xie Luohe's wounds, accidentally looked up and was startled when he saw Xie Luohe's expression at this moment.
Feng Bei's figure overlapped with Xie Luohe, and suddenly he seemed to see Feng Bei. Zheng Xiu subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull up Xie Luohe's right eye and the strand of long hair that he had deliberately covered.
This action was a bit wild, but Xie Luohe knew what Zheng Xiu was doing, and his eyes narrowed: "What are you doing?"
"You have sand in your eyes, let me blow it for you. Huh..." As he said this, Zheng Xiu really pretended to blow a breath of hot air into Xie Luohe's face.
"you……"
I don’t even know if my fucking eyes can penetrate the sand, but you know?
Xie Luohe suddenly clenched his fists.
The wound under the cloth strip was bleeding again.
When Zheng Xiu saw that the cloth was stained red, he quickly bandaged it.
"It's done."
Zheng Xiu clapped his hands and called it a day.
He tore off both of his sleeves and bandaged Xieluohe's wounds.
Xie Luohe expressionlessly raised his hands like "zongzi", with all five fingers wrapped in cloth strips. After a while, Xie Luohe understood Zheng Xiu's little thoughts, and he was angry and funny.
This guy, by wrapping his hands like this, obviously doesn't want to let himself draw the bow anymore.
"Puch."
Xie Luohe looked at the two ugly hands and smiled.
The black lines on her face completely faded.
After his hands were wrapped into rice dumplings, Xie Luohe had no choice but to have a fit. He looked up at the solid mountain wall and stood two steps away, sulking.
Cheng Xiao recovered from the shock of Xie Luohe's "demonization".
He didn't ask any more questions.
Looking at the "temptress" who had been manipulated by Zheng Xiu with surprise and uncertainty, Cheng Xiao looked at Zheng Xiu and asked, "Gongsun Mo, can you open this mountain?"
"You think too much."
Zheng Xiu replied casually at first, but then he thought about it. It might not be impossible for the [Prisoner] in full state to find a suitable combination of monster forms. He had the feat of cutting the mountaintops of Fengbei into flat ground with one sword.
But now in the world of cannibal paintings, Zheng Xiu is still suffering from the miraculous sequelae of the "crow man". He is on the verge of death, and his connection with the "Prisoner" is weak, so Zheng Xiu is not sure.
Moreover, just when Xie Luohe was using his thaumaturgy unscrupulously, at the moment Zheng Xiu hugged Xie Luohe, Zheng Xiu had the illusion of being immersed in "everlasting darkness".
No, it may not be an illusion.
If cannibal paintings are equivalent to "ghosts", they are between "eternal world" and "eternal darkness". Although I don’t know how Gongsun Mo was able to create such a ghostly space with just one painting, but since it is a ghostly space, it is possible that the front leads to the eternal darkness or to the ordinary world. .
Zheng Xiu is well aware of the horror of "Eternal Darkness", as almost no one can escape alive after being dragged into it.
Xie Luohe may also be vaguely aware of this. Over the years, she has been suppressing her strength and dare not expose it to others.
Bai Xiaosheng got up from the ground awkwardly.
"Brother Gongsun, she..."
Bai Xiaosheng wanted to speak but stopped.
"Fat Jiang, you shouldn't ask, don't ask too much." Zheng Xiu patted Bai Xiaosheng on the shoulder: "Not all 'secrets' are worth your life to explore."
Xie Luohe looked at Fatty Jiang with a half-smile.
Jianghu Baixiaopang suddenly trembled, and nodded with a smile: "What Gongsun said is true, true!"
"What do you think?"
Zheng Xiu looked towards the mountain wall.
It's full of potholes.
The output of the Xieluo River left holes in the mountain walls.
"When Nie Gong personally came to Yanzhou to direct the flood control, it must have been at that time that he secretly built the treasure house here. Otherwise, there would not be only a few words left in the historical records. Moreover, I also learned that the craftsmen who were responsible for filling the river back then , no one survived, maybe... they all died because of this 'secret'."
Keeping secrets comes at a price.
"come over."
Xie Luohe, who was sulking for a while, waved to Zheng Xiu.
The good movements were performed by Xie Luohe's "rice dumpling hand", which looked extremely funny.
Zheng Xiu suppressed his laughter and stepped forward.
"Knock it."
The Xieluo River flows towards the stone wall.
"Do you hit it as hard as you did, or do you hit it softly?"
"Silly fool," Xie Luohe scolded with a smile, pointing to his ear: "Let me hear the sound inside."
Zheng Xiu suddenly realized this and tapped his fingers on the stone wall.
"Here, here, and here, over there, come here."
Xie Luohe nonchalantly instructed Zheng Xiu to work. After knocking on the stone wall back and forth, Xie Luohe listened carefully, stood at one of the places, nodded and said, "This is it."
"How to say?"
Xie Luohe's gaze was determined and his eyes were shining: "There is a hollow inside, hiding the sound of water. From here, dig deep into the mountain wall, dig down, and only need to dig half a foot deep or three feet away to re-open the underground river. Here we are. At that time, we can follow the underground river and enter the treasure house."
Being rubbed by Zheng Xiu... No, Xie Luohe returned to his usual calmness after being hugged by Zheng Xiu.
When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, he was not surprised how Xie Luohe did it.
After witnessing Xie Luohe's "demonized" attitude with his own eyes, even if Xie Luohe stepped on his left foot with his right foot and ascended to the sky in front of him, Bai Xiaosheng would think it was natural.
Bai Xiaosheng no longer treats Xie Luohe as a "person".
He even had the urge to rewrite the "Weapons Manual" now and raise Xieluohe's ranking from fifty to the top.
The name is: Luohe Divine Arrow.
When Bai Xiaopang in Jianghu was thinking hard about the important matter of "rewriting the weapon spectrum".
Xie Luohe walked towards Jiang Pang.
Fatty Jiang was startled. He stepped back a few steps in fright, and said in surprise: "Luohe Divine Arrow, what do you want to do?"
Xie Luohe: "?"
"Ahem, I'm asking, what do you do for a living?"
Xie Luohe said calmly: "Bai Xiaosheng, I want to do a business with you."
"Business?"
"I know that you have a vast network of contacts in the rivers and lakes. I wonder if you can hire a group of excellent craftsmen to open up the underground rivers that have been blocked for many years?"
When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, his eyes narrowed: "What's the benefit, old man?"
Xie Luohe's calm tone suddenly became decisive: "The treasures in Gong Nie's treasury, I, Xie Luohe and Gongsun Mo's share belong to you! You can even take the 'secret' of Nie Gong's treasury as your own! No matter you are Whether you want to reveal it to the world or keep it secret in your heart, it’s all up to you!”
Zheng Xiu was also stunned when he heard this. This Xie Luohe really didn't regard him as an outsider. In order to get Jiang Fatty to take action, he even took his own share of it.
After Xie Luohe finished telling Fatty Jiang what he thought, he winked playfully at Zheng Xiu.
Zheng Xiu immediately lost his opinion.
Whatever you say.
Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment and realized that this "deal" was not a loss at all for him. The "secret" of Nie Gong's treasure house itself has an extraordinary appeal to Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng has been tirelessly exploring the secrets of others, the secrets of history, the secrets of the court, and the secrets of the world all his life. Now a secret that spans nearly a hundred years is placed in front of him. Even if Xie Luohe doesn't tell him, he will still think about it. By all means, go in and explore.
Jiang Pang immediately agreed and returned to the city to make preparations.
Before leaving, Xie Luohe looked at his two rice dumpling hands and the potholes on the mountain wall, and left helplessly.
When they came, Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe each rode a horse, but Xie Luohe's hands were now wrapped like a bird by Zheng Xiu, so naturally they couldn't hold the reins. Zheng Xiu released one of the horses, rode on one alone, and stretched out his hand towards Xieluohe: "Come up."
At this moment, Zheng Xiu's posture and smile quietly overlapped with a certain scene in his dream. Xie Luohe's expression suddenly became confused and hesitantly got on Zheng Xiu's horse.
Along the way, Xie Luohe put his arms around Zheng Xiu's waist, with his body a finger apart, and there was no words on the road.
Zheng Xiu didn't know that Xie Luohe was upset, so he returned to the city. After settling Xie Luohe, he went back to the street to set up a stall and paint.
I opened today and made three taels of silver.
Bai Xiaosheng was really good at work. The next day, he told Zheng Xiu that he had found the twenty-six best craftsmen in Yanzhou and was rushing to Li City at full speed. They would arrive here in about ten days.
All we can do next is wait quietly.
Zheng Xiu touched the knot on his forehead, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to wait for the craftsmen to arrive.
"Sure enough, something happened to Dugu Xiang."
After the appointed time, Dugu Xiang still didn't show up. Zheng Xiu thought about the fire at Hidden Sword Villa that night, and then thought about Fan Yao who "wasted forty years", and he felt clear in his heart.
With nothing to do, Zheng Xiu recounted the series of events that happened when he met the monk, and gradually connected everything together.
Fan Yao, who was once one of the eight generals of the incomplete building, accidentally obtained this scroll, was plotted against him, and was "eaten" by the cannibal painting. But for some reason, Fan Yao stayed in the scroll. The "amnesiac" monk Huahua walked out of the scroll and wandered to Yizhou and arrived at Jiangjun Town.
Master Bao Bao accepted Huahua as his disciple, and the cannibal painting fell into the hands of Master Bao Bao.
And Chu Susu, one of the eight generals in the incomplete building, came to Jiangjun Town, perhaps to find the missing Fan Yao.
"So, Fan Yao... is the main personality?"
Zheng Xiu, who was setting up a stall, was suddenly shocked. After thinking about everything, a ridiculous idea appeared in Zheng Xiu's mind.
The "monk" who emerged from the cannibal paintings lost the "fan ballad" and the secondary personality became the main personality, and he became the "flower monk"!
So, Fan Yao’s purpose is to escape from cannibalism?
Is he also seeking to "return to normalcy"?
Once Fan Yao leaves here, will Monk Hua disappear?
Zheng Xiu was extremely frightened when he thought about it carefully.
After all, he was not familiar with Fan Yao.
The person who became attached to Zheng Xiu and carried Zheng Xiu up Tianyin Mountain with great pains was a monk, not Fan Yao.
They are not the same person.
Zheng Xiu was confused when he thought about this.
He never imagined that one day he would fall into another person's "personality battle".
Oops, now the monk has not recovered his memory for some unknown reason. Once Fan Yao discovers the monk, he doesn't know what will happen.
I don't know if Fan Yao knows that his "inner demon" has become his "self". When Zheng Xiu thinks about this problem with his own heart, if he were in Fan Yao's situation...
"If it were me, I would kill the monk without hesitation."
No one wants their body to be occupied by "other personalities."
So damn complicated.
Zheng Xiu rubbed his hair. After nightfall, there were very few people walking on the street, so Zheng Xiu could only close his stall.
After making money, Zheng Xiu opened an extra room in the inn, so he no longer had to be laughed at by Xie Luohe as an "anxious young man".
Craftsmen arrived in Licheng from all over Yanzhou one after another.
Bai Xiaosheng was busy and spent a lot of money to purchase digging tools.
If you want to hide such a big move from the officials, you have to do it secretly. Coincidentally, being sneaky is Bai Xiaosheng's strength, and it wouldn't be possible for anyone else.
Time passed, and just as the craftsmen were about to gather together, Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe finally waited for Xie Yunliu.
"Old girl! Ooooh!"
When Bai Xiaosheng brought Xie Yunliu, in order to avoid being noticed, he arrogantly booked the inn lobby and hung a sign saying "The owner is happy" outside.
Xie Yunliu burst in through the door, his head bare and barren of grass.
As soon as he saw Xie Luohe, he rushed towards Xie Luohe with snot and tears, ignoring Zheng Xiu beside him, who was about to express the pain of missing his sister these days.
"Brother~"
Xie Luohe smiled sweetly, this expression was rare to see.
But when Xie Yunliu saw Xie Luohe's hands wrapped like rice dumplings, he was stunned and became furious. He took off his shirt, revealing his strong pectoralis major muscles, and shouted filial piety: "Which bastard tied my sister up like this! Okay!" A vicious heart!”
Xie Yunliu's first reaction was, who is so ignorant that he would play with these special things in my sister's hands.
Bundle or something.
Xie Luohe smiled slightly and pointed at the handsome young man who was preparing to escape.
"You bastard scholar, please accept your fate!"
Xie Yunliu bared his arms, spat into his palm, and rushed towards Zheng Xiu with a ferocious expression.
Zheng Xiu had already predicted Xie Yunliu's reaction, took out the Luohe pen with his backhand, bit off his finger, and painted in the air.
Bundles of ropes came to life like big blood-colored snakes, swishing around Xie Yunliu from all directions.
Except for his sister, Xie Yunliu had never seen other "thaumaturges" perform these weird magic tricks. His eyes widened and he was dumbfounded. In the blink of an eye, he was tied into the shape of a tortoise by the "rope" drawn by Zheng Xiu. Hanging on the beam.
"Monsters, they are all monsters." Bai Xiaosheng looked at the scholar showing his fangs, and the corners of his eyes twitched, becoming numb day by day.
Fortunately, in order to arrange for the craftsmen, he had booked the inn in advance and even sent away the shopkeeper and waiter. Otherwise, this scene would have shocked the world and resurrected the "theory of monsters and monsters" in the market.
"You stupid bastard, you really are good at this!"
Xie Yunliu, who was hung from the beam, stared at the scholar with splitting eyes and cursed.
"Yo! It's so lively."
At this time, a couple pushed in the door. The man had a beard and was rugged and brave. The woman was dressed in a long skirt and was as tender as water. Her face was red and her ears were red. She clung to the strong man's side obediently.
When the couple came in, they saw Xie Yunliu hanging from the beam and tied into a strange shape, and they were stunned. He had not witnessed Zheng Xiu performing the technique with his own eyes, so he was stunned for a moment and then disagreed.
Immediately, the strong man looked at Zheng Xiu and rushed up to give him a bear hug: "Brother Gongsun, you are fine!"
The man was Chu Chengfeng, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
As for women.
Zheng Xiu, who was holding him in Chu Chengfeng's arms so hard that his bones rattled and endured the pain, took a long time to recognize this woman. Isn't it the daughter of the enemy that Chu Chengfeng said he disliked in every possible way... Wen Shishan?
How could that man become so attached to her after not seeing her for months?
Could it be that he was put to sleep by Chu Chengfeng?
Zheng Xiu wondered.
After some fighting, Zheng Xiu banished the cursing Xie Yun.
The rope turned into blood and disappeared, and both Chu Chengfeng and Wen Shishan looked shocked.
Xie Luohe knew his brother's temperament and stopped playing around. He shattered the cloth wrapped around his hands in front of Xie Yunliu, revealing two white and smooth little hands. There was no trace of any injury on them.
On the first floor of the inn, several people sat down and drank wine.
After drinking for a few rounds, the bandits who reunited told each other what happened after they parted.
