Lin Jue pulled Shen Tan to a corner and told him what he had just experienced. Shen Tan smacked his lips when he heard the words and said: "So that's it. Zuo Wu and Zuo Yun, two idiots, were originally hiding in the Prime Minister's Mansion as bodyguards. , no wonder friends in the martial arts world can't find them anywhere. These two bitches have appeared now, their martial arts skills are useless, and they probably won't survive until tomorrow morning."
Lin Jue was surprised and said: "What are the backgrounds of these two guys?"
Shen Tan said: "They were originally disciples of the Eagle Claw Sect in Qingcheng Mountain. They had an affair with their master. After being discovered, they killed their master and escaped. The decent people in the world had already jointly issued a pursuit order. No trace of them was seen in eight years, but it turned out that Hiding in the prime minister's house."
Lin Jue said in shock: "It turned out to be two shameless people. If I had known this, I should have tied them up. No wonder they ignored the rules and joined forces to attack Miss Bai. They were afraid that they wanted to kill and silence them because the truth was exposed."
Shen Tan smiled and said: "I think it is indeed the case, but Mr. Lin doesn't need to get involved in such matters. Now that he shows up, he will not be able to survive. But the white girl you just mentioned is a bit confusing."
Lin Jue said: "This is exactly what I want to ask you. I have never heard of her using music as a trick. You are well-informed, do you know the details of this woman?"
Shen Tan frowned and said, "What kind of music is the trick?"
Lin Jue described the fighting scene he had just seen to Shen Tan in detail. Shen Tan frowned and twirled his beard and said for a long time: "I heard that there was a magic sound sect in Jianghu a long time ago, who was good at using musical instruments to Enemy. There was a master named Jin Gu who was good at playing the pipa. I heard that the sound of the pipa she played could enchant people and make them intoxicated. But that was a long time ago. When I was learning the art, My master told me this, when I was only a few years old."
"Such a wicked sect? Is there really such a person? He can use the sound of the pipa to enchant the soul? Isn't this almost a witchcraft?" Lin Jue said in surprise.
"Isn't that right? Because of this, people in the world regarded him as an alternative and said he was a crooked way. Later, someone revealed that his female disciple used magic sounds to seduce the disciples of the world, and it was even said to be an evil technique. So a group of people attacked. It is said that Jin Gu was killed, and more than a dozen of his disciples were also killed. More than 40 years have passed, and no such thing has been heard of again. People say that the magic sound The door has been destroyed. However, you said that although the martial arts of this Bai Bing girl does not use music to seduce the soul and defend the enemy, but the moves follow the music. The two seem to be different. Forgive me for being ignorant, Shen still doesn't understand this. Bai Bing's true identity." Shen Tan pondered.
Lin Jue smacked his lips and was speechless. There are so many wonders in the world, and he gained new knowledge today. It sounds absurd to be able to defeat enemies with music, but in fact it is not unreasonable when you think about it. In that life on earth, Lin Jue did not miss it. Go to those clips in movies and TV shows where the sound of piano or music is used to fight against enemies. But they are all exaggerated and imagined. With a wave of the strings, a large piece of wind-breaking blade cuts through the body like a physical flying knife. That is Impossible. But if we use the essence of sound to defend against the enemy, it is not impossible.
In history, during the conflict between Chu and Han, when Xiang Yu was besieged, the sound of Chu songs that rang out all around was a successful example of using music to fend off the enemy. Hearing the sound of Chu songs, the Chu army officers and soldiers had no fighting spirit and were ultimately defeated. It has to be said that this music played a great role in dismantling the fighting spirit in this battle. Moreover, sound can indeed hurt people. Lin Jue came from later generations and also knew of cases of infrasound waves hurting people. Some cases Once the infrasound waves generated under certain circumstances resonate with the vibration frequency of the human body's internal organs, the liver and gallbladder inside the five internal organs will be broken and the person will die. This is scientifically based. As for the beauty of music, people can resonate and feel joy and sadness. Feelings of joy and anger should be regarded as a certain degree of seduction. If someone finds the ultimate method, it may not be absurd to say that it can really seize the soul.
"Master Lin, after you ask this question, Shen has something to remind you. This woman's origin is unknown, and you don't know her details. She also has martial arts skills, so you should be more careful. If she is really a remnant of the Demonic Sound Sect, That's not good for you." Shen Tan whispered.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Are you afraid that my soul will be seduced?"
Shen Tan smiled and said: "Sir, you and I don't know the methods of the Magic Sound Sect. If it can really steal people's souls as the rumors say, that would be incredible. Besides, you must be on guard against others, don't you? Do you think it’s strange to have so many mysterious women around you suddenly? In short, it’s better to be careful.”
Lin Jue nodded and said: "That's right. Thank you for reminding me. I'll keep it in mind. I bothered you to come here again today. I said there was no need to send someone to notify you, but the princess was very worried. In fact, you You should understand that even if I compete with the Zuo brothers, they can't beat me."
Shen Tan blinked and smiled, and whispered: "That is, I'm afraid there will be two more corpses beaten into a sieve. However, if someone is really beaten to death, it will be a bit troublesome. Although there is life and death, after all... after all……"
Lin Jue nodded and said: "What I'm saying is that killing people in the street is naturally bad, and it also exposes my secret. Now this situation is the best. I retreat from the trouble maker and expose the fox tail next to me. Kill two birds with one stone. Ha. Ha ha."
Shen Tan also laughed, and the two chatted for a few words, and Shen Tan handed over his hand to say goodbye. Lin Jue took out five hundred taels of silver notes and stuffed them into Shen Tan's hand. , it’s not easy to run on a hot day and be covered in sweat.”
Hearing this, Shen Tan put the banknotes in his arms with a smile, thanked him and left. Before getting on the horse, Lin Jue suddenly remembered something and said to Shen Tan: "Commander Shen went to ask for me. I heard that Deputy Ma was kicked out." The Imperial City Secretary has gone to serve in the army, I don’t know if it is true. Commander Shen is going to visit for me, and we will find time to get together later."
It was also the first time for Shen Tan to hear the news, so he nodded in agreement and immediately left with the others.
…
It's late at night and there's a cool breeze. Compared to the scorching heat during the day, this should be the most comfortable time of the day.
In the front yard of Zaoyuan, on a stone bench under several flower trees, two figures were sitting quietly talking to each other in a low voice.
"Sister, where did you learn this martial arts? Why didn't you tell me? What have you experienced over the years? Are you really being taken in by someone and growing up in an ordinary farmhouse in the countryside?"
The speaker was Qin Xiaoxiao. She was shocked by her sister's performance today. Therefore, she insisted on letting Bai Bing stay in Zaoyuan tonight. She wanted to ask what her sister had gone through.
"Sister, I lied to you. I was not adopted by a farmer. I didn't tell you the truth." Bai Bing said softly.
"Then how did you come here all these years? Who raised you? How did you learn all the martial arts?" Qin Xiaoxiao shouted while holding Bai Bing's arm.
Bai Bing sighed and said softly: "Sister, you and I are really miserable people. That year I was three years old and you were six years old. The Yangtze River broke its embankment, and my father and the house at home were washed away. Mom took you and I was wandering in Yangzhou. There were people with no food everywhere, and we were all starving to death. Later, in order to keep you alive, my mother gave you...to the people in a brothel. Sister, your life is really bitter. It's not like that, and you don't have to..." "Don't say it, don't say it. Do you dislike my sister too? Hasn't my sister already come out? My sister's life is miserable, and there is nothing we can do about it." Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head.
Bai Bing said hurriedly: "Sister, please don't say that. How could I dislike my sister? If it hadn't been for my sister being bought away and someone else giving me some money, I wouldn't have survived. My life is all my sister's kindness. Sister
How could you dislike your sister?"
Qin Xiaoxiao sighed and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. You haven't told me what your experience was. What you said before was all false, wasn't it?"
Bai Bing slowly turned his head, staring at the dark crown of a big tree, and said softly: "After my sister was bought, my mother carried me around on her back, begging for food. I was young at the time,
I don’t remember it very clearly. I only know that my mother couldn’t hold on any longer. That night, in a temple with many Bodhisattvas, my mother told me to sit on the Buddhist altar and not move. She told me to come as soon as she went. She also said that the Bodhisattvas
Will protect me and let me live. I sat there and waited, and waited, but my mother never came back. Those Bodhisattvas stared at me, and I was so scared. I didn’t dare to cry, so I lowered my head and curled up
There. Then I fell asleep. When I woke up, I found that I was in a basket on the back of someone else. That person was the person who raised me. As for my mother... I never saw her again.
The people I grew up with later told me that my mother drowned in the river that night."
Qin Xiaoxiao's face was already covered with tears, and she said sobbingly: "Mother, mother is suffering too. We are all suffering."
A few tears shed from the corners of Bai Bing's eyes, but she quickly reached out to wipe them away.
"You haven't told me yet, who raised you? Did she teach you all your martial arts skills?" Qin Xiaoxiao stretched out her green sleeves to wipe away her tears and asked softly.
"I can only tell you this. The person who raised me is also the person who taught me martial arts, but I can't tell you who she is because she doesn't allow me to tell you. I came to Yangzhou to find you because I know you are still alive.
You are my only sister, and I cannot let you suffer and be abused in a brothel forever. So I want you to leave the brothel after I return to Yangzhou. It just so happens that you came to the capital to join Mr. Lin and Xie Yingying, so I followed you to see them.
How are you doing? Let's see if you can live a stable life here. Now I'm relieved. Mr. Lin doesn't seem like a bad person, and Xie Yingying is not bad either. This grand theater is a place where you can live peacefully. In this way, I can feel at ease.
Left." Bai Bing said softly.
"You...are you still leaving? Where are you going?" Qin Xiaoxiao shouted.
"Of course I will go back to where I came from. The person who raised me is still waiting for me to go back. Once I go back, I will never come back. Sister, I'm afraid we will never see you again.
We’ve arrived.”
"Why? Why do you never come back?" Qin Xiaoxiao shouted.
"Because... I promised her that after finding my sister and settling down, I would never return to the Central Plains and the South. She raised me and saved me, so I have to listen to her." Bai Bing said quietly.
"Then I can visit you. Tell me, where do you live? My sister will come find you when she is free." Qin Xiaoxiao said.
Bai Bing smiled and whispered: "Sister, you can't go there. The mountains are icy and the desert is desolate. Ordinary people can't reach it, and they can't live there. Sister, don't think too much. During this time, we sisters
We can still reunite here. Let's reunite for one more day. I have to wait for you to officially take the stage and become a pillar before leaving. Moreover, the capital is also quite fun. There are many people, there are many interesting things, and the theater performances are also good.
When I go back to that place, I will never see these again.”
