In some way, he recorded his memory in a "cannibal painting".
There is a cheating woman named "Xie Luohe" in the painting, who looks exactly like Feng Bei.
Zheng Xiu spread out a piece of yellowed rice paper in the superior room of the inn, took up his pen and wrote down the names one by one on the paper neatly.
"Gongsun Mo."
"Sierlo River."
"Chu Chengfeng."
"Fengbei."
"The richest man Zheng."
Zheng Xiu looked at the writing on the paper and nodded with satisfaction.
Pay attention to.
The thin lines between names are intertwined, forming a seemingly simple but mysterious network of relationships.
Looking at the relationship diagram, Zheng Xiu pondered for a long time and finally drew a circle on the name "Xieluo River".
"Whether it's because she looks the same as Feng Bei or because she and Gongsun Mo are buried together, this person should be the key to solving the mystery of ghosts."
"To decipher the cannibal paintings, we must start with Xie Luohe."
"You can't just deal with it based on past experience, otherwise it's easy to stumble here."
"Since it is Gongsun Mo's memory, the speed of time cannot be measured by common sense. But no matter what, I cannot take it lightly and cannot delay it for too long. I must leave here as soon as possible."
"The most critical thing at the moment is to find a way to get close to Xieluohe and confirm whether Fengbei, like me, is experiencing Gongsun Mo's memories from Xieluohe's perspective."
"Wait a minute, is there a possibility..." Zheng Xiu touched his smooth chin and fell into deep thought: "This is the memory of the two of them?"
only.
Zheng Xiu thought about a lot, but there was only one thing that he couldn't figure out.
If the "ghost" theory is used to explain the current situation he and Feng Bei are in, it doesn't make sense.
The existence of ghosts is between the eternal world and the eternal darkness. How did a painting painted by Gongsun Mo two hundred years ago create this strange "memory space".
He originally wanted to wait silently for the "national master" Chu Chengfeng mentioned to arrive in Kangcheng, so he waited honestly for two days.
In the past two days, Zheng Xiu, as "Gongsun Mo", under the leadership of the kindhearted Chu Chengfeng, went back and forth between tea shops and inns, and saw a lot of interesting things in the world.
Zheng Xiu noticed that there was indeed a "government" in Kangcheng, but as long as ordinary people were not killed in battle, the government generally would not come forward.
Every time someone dies on the street, once the government confirms that it was a grudge or vendetta in the martial arts world, they don't care and just take the body away and end the matter.
It wasn't until the third day that Zheng Xiu finally couldn't sit still and decided to make some bold attempts to further explore this weird world.
For example, find a way to leave Cannes.
Or, self-mutilation.
He even did things that were obviously contrary to Gongsun Mo's character, such as "visiting a brothel".
All failed.
The "forms" of failure come in all kinds of strange ways.
He tried every means to secretly leave Kangcheng, but he would always encounter a group of martial arts people fighting in a group. Gongsun Mo would get into all kinds of messy troubles, and then Chu Chengfeng would appear out of nowhere and descend from the sky to "rescue" him.
Zheng Xiu tried to hang himself, but the brand new beam broke inexplicably.
He got bold and tried to wipe his throat. When he woke up, he found that he was drunk and even the iron sword he bought secretly was missing.
As for visiting a brothel, it was even more bizarre. He had just entered the brothel, skillfully selected a girl he liked, but in the blink of an eye his money bag disappeared and he was kicked out of the brothel.
It's too much to deceive.
Zheng Xiu, who couldn't even take a "one-day trip to a brothel", finally confirmed one thing.
In the inn, Zheng Xiu took out the paper full of words from his arms and solemnly wrote a line of words in the blank space.
"The will of the world? Gongsun Mo?"
Zheng Xiu sighed and put down the pen in his hand.
He looked at his reflection in the mirror and that fair and delicate face, feeling quite helpless.
At this moment, Zheng Xiu couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration that he had nowhere to use his divine power.
He knew the weirdness here, knew his situation, and tried to change, but he could only use his own eyes to experience everything Gongsun Mo had, unable to make any changes.
Zheng Xiu murmured to himself at his reflection in the mirror: "Are you Gongsun Mo?"
"Are you still alive?"
"What exactly do you want me to do?"
Bang.
While Zheng Xiu was mumbling to himself, the door was violently kicked open. Zheng Xiu subconsciously covered his clothes.
It turned out that Chu Chengfeng broke in.
"Sorry, sorry! Brother Chu is reckless!"
As soon as Chu Chengfeng came in, he saw Gongsun's eyes widening, as if he were looking at a prodigal son, with a look of horror on his face, and he apologized repeatedly.
"Are you drawing?"
As soon as Chu Chengfeng came in, he saw the papers spread out on the table and looked closely at them with curiosity on his face.
"Brother Chu misunderstood, I am writing a diary."
Zheng Xiu stood in front of Chu Chengfeng calmly and quickly folded the paper.
In a hurry, Chu Chengfeng vaguely saw the name "Xie Luohe" written on the paper, and wondered: "Brother Gongsun, what is... a diary?"
"Recently, I had tea with Brother Chu and chatted about the world. I had some hidden feelings and my heart was surging. I was afraid that I would forget it someday, so I wrote it down in a few words on paper, which I called a 'diary'."
Chu Chengfeng suddenly realized: "It turns out that you scholars will write down your surging thoughts on paper!"
"Ahem, that's exactly it."
Zheng Xiu picked up the tea that had been cold on the table and took a sip.
"No wonder Xie Luohe's name is written on it!" Chu Chengfeng suddenly smiled, showing a tacit expression.
"puff!"
Zheng Xiu sprayed a mouthful of herbal tea all over Chu Chengfeng's face, dumbfounded.
"Brother Chu was just talking before," Chu Chengfeng saw Gongsun Mo's flushed face and he was squirting water in a panic, wiped the tea from his face with one hand, and said in shock: "Brother Gongsun, don't really take a fancy to that Xie Luohe.
!”
"Brother Chu, why did you say this?"
Zheng Xiu asked.
"Do you know who Xie Luohe is? Yunhe Village in Shuzhou is full of bandits who kill without blinking an eye. There are three thousand bandits, all barbarians who drink blood like hair! And Xie Luohe is the leader of Yunhe Village.
Master! In addition to the weapons list, there is also a list of the 'Top Ten Evil Persons' in the martial arts world, and Xie Luohe is at the top of the list!"
The smile on Chu Chengfeng's face faded: "Three years ago, there were rumors that Xieluohe had made a rule that there was a beacon tower at the foot of Yunhe Village, which was three miles away from the mountain camp. If anyone wanted to marry her, Xieluohe would be
Wife, you must light the beacon tower. As long as you can arrive at the Yunhe village gate safely, no matter who lights the beacon, even pigs and dogs, you can spend the spring night with Xieluohe that night!"
When Zheng Xiu heard this, both Gongsun Mo and Zheng Xiu were shocked: "How can this be true? Is there anyone who can do it?"
"Yes? Yes!" Chu Chengfeng sneered: "She's all turned into withered bones! So, it's okay to look at her beauty. All men in the world are lustful. Chu understands. But you must not really miss her."
Chu Chengfeng patted Zheng Xiu on the shoulder and said deeply.
Zheng Xiu: "Brother Chu, come in and tell me these things???"
"Ouch!" Chu Chengfeng slapped his head: "Brother, I almost forgot! The prison car escorting the former Imperial Guard is about to enter the city!"
"really!"
"That's natural. I promised you that I will take you to see the world." Chu Chengfeng walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, looked back at Zheng Xiu and said: "Yes, there is one thing, you must agree to it first.
.”
"Brother Chu, please tell me."
"The city is about to be turbulent, but there is an unwritten rule in the martial arts world, and most upright people abide by this rule. That is, what happens in the martial arts world does not harm the people. Although you are walking with me, if there is a fight,
, no one will embarrass you, a scholar, otherwise you will only lose face and be laughed at by the whole martial arts community. Having said that, you have to promise me that if you meet someone I know, you won’t say anything that you shouldn’t say.
, don’t ask too many questions if you shouldn’t.”
"That's natural." Zheng Xiu politely bowed his hands and frowned: "Brother Chu, are you thinking..."
Chu Chengfeng laughed and waved his hand: "How is that possible! Nie Gong's treasury is of great importance, do you really think anyone can monopolize it? Although I am ranked thirty-eight on the weapons list, it is just a false name. How could Chu
Jin Jiliang knew what he was doing, so he naturally didn't fight over these things. It was not worth risking his life by fighting over these things. But when you are in the arena, you can't just hide behind and listen to the wind and rain.
We were also shouting at the side, taking a few steps closer to see who was leaving and who was coming. Maybe we could meet old friends and have a few drinks. Wouldn’t it be nice? Of course, if we accidentally fished for some oil and water, that would be the best.
alright."
Chu Chengfeng talked a lot in one breath. After that, he took Gongsun Mo out.
Zheng Xiu didn't know if Gongsun Mo understood it at that time, but Zheng Xiu understood it very clearly from the perspective of a bystander.
Everyone wants to have Gong Nie's treasure house, including Chu Chengfeng, but Chu Chengfeng is afraid of fighting for his life and dare not act rashly. He plans to join in the fun here and fish in troubled waters, but what if... it works?
"You're an old fritter."
Zheng Xiu sighed in his heart, this Chu Chengfeng seemed carefree and informal, but in fact he was very shrewd. That rough guy demeanor became Chu Chengfeng's best disguise.
It is estimated that most of the martial arts people gathered in Kangcheng today have the same thoughts as Chu Chengfeng.
The table in the corner of the second floor of the teahouse seemed to be Chu Chengfeng's exclusive seat. Chu Chengfeng took Zheng Xiu directly to the second floor and sat in his usual seat.
"Master Chu, or the third child?"
The waiter wiped the seat for Chu Chengfeng and asked in a numb voice.
"The third child!"
Rice wine, braised chicken, peanuts.
After asking casually, Zheng Xiu realized that Chu Chengfeng had secured this position. No wonder he sat at this table every day.
People were coming and going in Kangcheng today, and Zheng Xiu noticed that there were more sneaky martial arts people on the streets than usual.
This time there was no need for Chu Chengfeng to remind him. With Zheng Xiu's eyesight, he also found many hidden martial arts people.
This is like playing "Let's find fault". At first glance, it just looks out of place with the people around you.
The martial arts people were hiding in the market, appearing extremely silent, and were always paying attention to the movements on the streets.
Even the atmosphere in the tea shop was subtly different. Although the tea guests were still chatting and boasting as before, Zheng Xiu could vaguely sense a depressing atmosphere.
Zheng Xiu suddenly remembered something.
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building.
"Eh! Not good!"
Chu Chengfeng, who was enjoying watching the excitement, suddenly frowned and stopped drinking.
Following Chu Chengfeng's gaze, Zheng Xiu looked downstairs and saw a tall man in green shirt with soft features and a sword on his back walking into the tea shop.
When this man first came in, Chu Chengfeng shouted "No".
"Do you know this person?" Zheng Xiu asked curiously.
"More than just acquaintance, Lihua Villa and Wenshishan are closely related to Chu's family." Chu Chengfeng showed a rare bitter smile on his face, but hesitated to speak.
The effeminate man downstairs suddenly raised his head and looked towards the second floor. Chu Chengfeng's expression suddenly changed, he actually retracted his head and murmured: "You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me... …”
Huh?
Zheng Xiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded secretly.
There is a story.
"Sir, the second floor is full, please come over here."
Just as the waiter was about to step forward to say hello, the effeminate man stretched out his right hand like lightning, grabbed the waiter's neck, and sneered: "Get out."
Bang.
Throwing the waiter on the ground who turned pale with fright, the effeminate man walked straight to the second floor.
Wen Shishan walked up to the table of Zheng Xiu and Chu Chengfeng with his head held high. His eyes wandered between the two people, and finally stopped on Zheng Xiudao's face, gritting his teeth and looking at it for a long time.
Ah this?
Looking down from the angle upstairs just now, Zheng Xiu only felt that this man's buttocks were a little raised.
Now that Wen Shishan was close at hand, Zheng Xiu first raised his head and glanced at the other person's fair neck, then looked at Wen Shishan's slightly exaggerated chest muscles, and cursed in his heart.
This Wen Shishan is a woman.
"Brother Chu..." Wen Shishan's eyes suddenly filled with mist, he clasped his hands behind his back and said in a trembling voice: "This is your... new love?"
"Fart!" Zheng Xiu jumped up from his seat. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back to the fence and almost fell from the second floor.
Zheng Xiu couldn't control this reaction for a moment, because it was the reaction in Gongsun Mo's memory.
Of course, if it were him, he would have retreated that far.
hiss……
Old thief Chu, you fucking deceived me so badly.
"My hero, you have misunderstood. I am Gongsun Mo..."
"Gongsun..."
The mist in Wen Shishan's eyes suddenly faded away, and as he stared at Zheng Xiu, his expression suddenly changed.
Just a moment ago, this girl dressed as a woman looked pitiful, but in an instant she turned into shock and disbelief.
Chu Chengfeng suddenly said: "Young Master Wen, his surname is Gong, who means Gong of the Imperial Palace. We met by chance a few days after we first met, and we just thought we hit it off and had a few drinks together. It's not a relationship, let alone... the relationship you think."
Zheng Xiu on the side nodded vigorously, innocently.
Without waiting for Wen Shishan's reaction, Chu Chengfeng sneered: "Besides, who does I, Chu Chengfeng, associate with, and what does it have to do with you? Don't forget the poisonous oath you swore in front of your father's spiritual tablet. Or should I say, you Do you want to fight to the death with me right here and now?"
"Very good! Very good! As expected of the third young master of Plum Blossom Villa, very good." Wen Shishan took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the scene was completely calm: "Excuse me."
When Wen Shishan left, his shoulders shook and he didn't look back.
The commotion here is a bit loud, but the teahouse is very noisy. The tables on the second floor are far apart. If you don't eavesdrop intentionally, it is difficult to distinguish the cause and effect. After a moment of silence, the teahouse returns to the scene. lively.
Chu Chengfeng sighed. Only then did he remember that Gongsun was next door. He glanced at Gongsun Mo who was standing next to the fence with complicated eyes as if he was about to jump down at any moment. His face looked a little helpless: "Brother Gongsun, listen to me.
explain……"
"Brother Chu, don't talk too much!" Zheng Xiu looked at Chu Chengfeng in fear: "Tell me first, are you as good as... Long Yang?"
"Ah?" Chu Chengfeng's eyes widened, then he shook his head vigorously, raised his head and drank all the rice wine in the jar, and said fiercely: "Chu can explain the cause clearly, it is definitely not what Gongsun thinks! If Gongsun doesn't believe it,
, you can go to a brothel with me, Chu would rather be debauched once, call some girls, and prove your innocence in front of brother Gongsun..."
wrong.
Zheng Xiu looked at the secretive Chu Chengfeng.
In his memory, Gongsun Mo didn't understand the seriousness of the matter at all at this time.
What Zheng Xiu was thinking about at the moment was not Chu Chengfeng's sexual orientation.
But...
There is something wrong with Gongsun Mo himself!
Chu Chengfeng deliberately concealed Gongsun Mo's surname in front of Wen Shishan just now!
…
"I am Gongsun Mo, born in the southeast of Luzhou..."
"Come on, come on...Although we met by chance, we felt like old friends at first sight..."
"You should stay in the inn peacefully these days to avoid losing your life. After all...swords have no eyes!"
"Is it a coincidence... or something else?"
…
Zheng Xiu suddenly felt dizzy.
The characters and scenes in front of him, as well as Chu Chengfeng's wry smile, swayed left and right in front of his eyes.
When Zheng Xiu came to his senses again, he was sitting back opposite Chu Chengfeng.
Looking at Chu Chengfeng's helpless look, his cheerful and free-spirited knight-errant image was like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle that was gradually peeling off, crumbling bit by bit.
At this moment, Zheng Xiu had completely figured out one thing.
