Following the old man's instructions, everyone entered the path. Although the path was narrow, it was still feasible. Even if the grass path was covered with snow, it was still anti-slip, which was much better than the muddy official road. Half an hour later
, everyone returned to the official road, and there were several villages ahead. The official road crossed a river, and the words "Thirty Mile Bridge" were written on the stone tablet at the head of the bridge. Presumably, this was the place where the old man met Bai Bing's master and apprentice.
But so much time has passed, and Bai Bing's master and apprentice may be already ten miles away, so they still can't stop and catch up. But the problem is that the sky has gradually dimmed. After the heavy snow, the sky is gloomy, and it is winter again, and the sky is very short.
, it’s getting dark soon.
Everyone thought that they might not be able to catch up with the two before dark, but Lin Jue told them that dark was a good time to catch up. Because once dark, the pair of master and disciple would not be able to continue their journey, and they would have to rest.
This is a good opportunity to catch up.
Everyone thought it was reasonable, so they gritted their teeth and rode forward. Soon after, the sky turned completely dark. If it hadn't been for the heavy snowfall, the snow light on the ground could reflect the reflected light, and it would be impossible to see the road clearly. Even so, during the march,
The horses of two guards slipped under the ridge beside the road. One guard broke his arm and the other guard's horse got stuck in the snow and could not get up.
Everyone worked together to get the guards and horses up, and Lin Jue also realized that he could no longer go on the road. It was indeed dangerous to go on this way. Under the weak light, the same places were everywhere, and it was difficult to tell the direction of the official road. This would
It caused unnecessary casualties. So a few people discussed and found a place to rest for the night. It would not be too late to get up and go on the road when it gets dark tomorrow.
It is a pity that the villages that have already passed Ershili Bridge are surrounded by wilderness snowfields in front, back and left, and there seems to be no place to stay for the night. After walking forward for more than a mile, suddenly the high road on one side of the road ahead
On the ground, against the dim skylight, a tower-shaped building stood in the darkness. The dark thing below seemed to be a house.
Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly trudged towards the high place. Only when they got closer could they see clearly that it was a temple. Such temples can be seen everywhere in the mountains and wilderness of Dazhou, and many of them are abandoned. This one looks shabby.
, it should be a ruined temple.
At this time, even a broken temple would make people happier than a high-rise house in Huayu. When everyone came to the courtyard gate of the temple, the courtyard gate was broken and leaning in the snow on both sides. No one cared about this, Liang Qi
He lifted his feet and walked inside, when Lin Jue suddenly grabbed him.
"Wait a minute." Lin Jue whispered.
"What's wrong?" Liang Qi asked.
"Silence." Lin Jue's voice sounded like a mosquito. He stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "There is someone inside."
Everyone looked in shock, and sure enough, there seemed to be a red light dancing in the dog cave under the temple door, and there seemed to be a bonfire burning inside the temple. At this distance, the entrance of the cave was so small that if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to notice it at all.
But after Lin Jue pointed it out, the dim light at the entrance of the cave immediately became extremely eye-catching.
At this time, in this kind of place, if someone stayed overnight in a ruined temple, Lin Jue would naturally think that this was where Master Bai Bing and his disciples were staying. At that moment, Lin Jue made a gesture and ordered the others to pull their horses and quietly move away.
. He and Liang Qi quietly entered the courtyard and slowly approached the mountain gate of the ruined temple.
The temple door was ajar. From a skewed angle, it was obvious that there were straw curtains hanging to block the light and the cold wind outside. It was impossible to see anything inside from the outside. It was impossible for Lin Jue to lie down in the snow and get out of the dog hole.
Look inside. While hesitating, Liang Qi pointed in the direction to the side. Lin Jue understood. The two of them circled along the wall of the ruined temple to the east and came to the back of the ruined temple under the pagoda. In this direction,
Half of the back wall of the ruined temple collapsed and was blocked with branches and weeds. The two men gently removed a few branches and saw the back of the Buddha statue inside through the hole. With the Buddha statue shielded, the two men bravely
Climb in gently.
When the two of them looked out from the small hole in the body of the damaged Buddha statue, the scene in the small temple was clear to their eyes.
The pillars in the temple collapsed and were in a mess. In the corner to the side, a bonfire was burning. A woman in white was sitting curled up against the wall, her head lowered and she didn't know what she was thinking. On the other side, a white-haired woman
The man was frowning and staring at the woman in white, with a very angry look on his face. Although Lin Jue did not see the appearance of the woman in white, but looking at her figure, she must be Bai Bing. Looking at Bai Bing holding his arms pitifully
Seeing this, Lin Jue felt pity in his heart.
"Hmph! Are you still thinking about that man? Why were you crying all the way? When you return to Mobei in the future, do you plan to stay crying like this for the rest of your life?" The old woman suddenly scolded.
"Master, I'm not crying. I have already promised the master to go back to Mobei with you. Why should the master say such things?" Bai Bing raised his head and shouted.
"Hmph! What's the use of you leaving me but not following me? You'll sneak back when you get the chance, right? What's so good about a man? Hmm? Don't you know what happened to the master?
?Men in the world are all ungrateful people. They all want to take advantage of you. When you need him to take responsibility, he harms you instead. Why don't you listen to me? That is the master's bone-cutting pain. I, the Demonic Sound Sect, am
It was destroyed in the hands of a stinky man, don't you know?" Bai Yushuang scolded angrily.
"Master, what happened back then was that you were indeed unkind to others, but you can't beat him to death with a stick. There are still... good men in the world. Master, you..."
"Shut up! I finally understand. You have gone crazy. You have been poisoned by the man named Lin. It seems that I can't just leave the capital. I need to do something to get it over with." Bai Yushuang gritted her teeth and said coldly.
road.
Bai Bing trembled and shouted hurriedly: "Master, what are you going to do? You promised Bing'er that as long as I go back to Mobei with you, you won't hurt others. You can't break your promise."
"Hmph! I promised you, but you have never forgotten that man named Lin, and you will definitely care about him in the future. In this case, how can I ignore it? I want you to inherit the martial arts and mantle of the Magic Sound Sect, and you will continue to care about him in the future.
You must continue to avenge my Magic Sound Sect. If you think about men every day, how can you do these things? I am going to kill that man named Lin. After you see his head, you will give up this idea.
." Bai Yushuang said coldly.
Lin Jue, who was behind the Buddha statue, subconsciously touched his neck and broke into a cold sweat.
"Master, you must not do that. You can't do that. Mr. Lin is innocent, and he doesn't know that I like him. Please have mercy, master, and don't do this." Bai Bing shouted softly in fright.
"Bing'er, listen, no one can stop me, including you. I promised my master to inherit the mantle of the Demonic Sound Sect and avenge the deaths of my fellow sect members. For forty years, I have stuck to my promise and have never broken it for a moment.
But you deceived me and betrayed me. I must force you to return to the right path. Don't blame me. I am doing it for your own good and for revenge. That man named Lin must die." Bai Yushuang said coldly.
"Master, you have killed hundreds of enemies who destroyed my Demonic Sound Sect back then. It's time for you to stop. When is the time to retaliate? It's been forty years. You have been living in hatred. Do you have to kill everyone?"
Do you feel at ease only if you just cut it off?"
"Shut up! There were more than 300 thieves of my sect who were surrounded and suppressed that day, and more than a hundred were killed. The rest had to die. Many thieves died of old age, but I think they had a good death. But they died of old age, and their children
All children and grandchildren must bear the blame. It is only natural that the father's debt should be paid by the son. The thieves of these sects and their families must die. I will kill every one of them. If I am too late, I will kill you, but you say such a thing
Now. Don’t forget your oath.”
"Master...why are you so extreme? What's the trouble? You have lived in pain and hatred for so many years. What have you gained? You should abandon hatred and enjoy your old age. Bing'er was raised by you
Yes, I will never be unfilial to you, and I will definitely serve you well. Master, you can move to the capital, watch theaters, enjoy the scenery, travel around the mountains and rivers, and spend your old age peacefully. Master, you and I share
How wonderful would it be to have a happy family?"
Bai Yushuang sneered and sighed: "Bing'er, it has only been less than half a year, and you are already lost in this colorful world. You have been brainwashed. You also like a man. More than ten years before the master
The teachings you have received are not as good as the invasion in just a few months. I know, it must be the man named Lin who has confused your mind and made you unrecognizable as a master. I have to kill him, I
You must kill him. Otherwise you will not wake up."
Lin Jue, who was hiding behind the Buddha statue, touched his neck again and thought: This crazy woman has blamed everything on me. She blames me for everything. Anyway, if you kill me, it will be settled.
Bai Bing begged and shouted: "Master, I am not confused. It is precisely because I have seen this clearly that I advised you to turn back."
Bai Yushuang did not answer, only waved to Bai Bing gently, and said softly: "Bing'er, come here and come to the master. Master doesn't blame you, it was someone else who taught you bad things. Come here."
Bai Bing seemed to be very frightened. He shrunk and shouted: "No, no, no, master, do you want to restrain me so that you can escape and kill Mr. Lin? Master, please, I will not go there. Master
, if you want to kill Mr. Lin, I will run away, far away, and you will never find me in your lifetime."
"Huh, the world is so big, where can you escape? I don't think it's easy to find you? Just like this time, when you disappeared, I guessed that you went to Yangzhou to find your sister. I went to Yangzhou,
After killing a few people, I learned that your sister had come to the capital. When I came to the capital, I found out the whereabouts of your sister by asking around, and then I found you by following the clues. Although it took me two months to find you,
But it’s not difficult. Each of my enemies is like a mouse. Some hide in the mountains and forests, and some change their names and live in seclusion. So what, haven’t I picked them out one by one?
They killed their entire family? Are you better at hiding than them?" Bai Yushuang sneered.
Bai Bing cried out in despair: "Then kill me. Before you kill Mr. Lin, please kill me. Otherwise, I will never let you kill Mr. Lin."
"Nie Zhan, can you still control me? You can't come over? If you don't come over, I will go over." Bai Yushuang scolded angrily.
Bai Bing took out the green flute from his arms and shouted in a trembling voice: "Don't come over, master, please. Please be merciful."
"Nie Zhan, do you still want to fight against my master?" Bai Yushuang stopped and scolded angrily.
"Bing'er, Bing'er doesn't dare. Bing'er doesn't dare to fight against the master. How dare Bing'er offend the master." Bai Bing shouted tremblingly.
"I'm sorry you don't dare. I taught you all your kung fu. If you start fighting with me, aren't you seeking death? Bing'er, I will teach you a piece of music, which is also a set of martial arts from my Magic Sound Sect. You listen carefully." Bai Yushuang said.
Bai Bing looked at Bai Yushuang blankly, wondering why the master suddenly wanted to teach him martial arts? This jump was a little hard to understand.
But Bai Yushuang slowly untied the cloth bag from her back, and carefully took out a pipa wrapped inside. The pipa was crimson in color, antique, and looked like it had been used for a long time.
Lin Jue and Liang Qi saw all this and felt very puzzled. Why did this crazy woman suddenly want to play the pipa? Lin Jue frowned, feeling that there must be something fishy in this.
Looking at Bai Yushuang again, she hugged the pipa to her chest, played it slowly and methodically, and said in a deep voice: "Bing'er, listen carefully. I often played this piece to you when you were a child. You must listen to it. Pass. Listen carefully and see if you still remember?"
Bai Bing leaned against the wall with his green flute in hand, looking horrified.
Bai Yushuang held the pipa and half covered her face. She gently moved her fingers as slender as crane claws, and a soft sound suddenly filled the dilapidated temple. The next moment, the music suddenly started and flowed out slowly. The pipa music was pure and soothing. , it is pleasant to hear it. Listening to the ears, it is like a tired bird returning to its nest under the sunset, the twilight is all around, the flowers are dim and the water is late. Gradually, the night is dark and people are quiet, the moon is on the willow tops, the birds are murmuring, everything is sleeping, the heaven and the earth Like a dream.
Liang Qi, who was standing next to Lin Jue, actually didn't understand music, but for some reason, he felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and his body was so warm that he almost fell asleep. Suddenly, the music in his ears disappeared, and Liang Qi was shocked. He woke up with a start and found that Lin Jue was retracting his hand, and two pieces of cloth had been stuffed into his ears.
Lin Jue told Liang Qi with gestures that the sound of the pipa music was the culprit that lulled people to sleep and deceived their souls. Just then Liang Qi got the idea. Liang Qi was ashamed and saw Lin Jue with cloth stuffed in his ears. Only then did he realize that Lin Jue had been on guard for a long time, and he couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
Lin Jue actually suddenly understood that the Magic Sound Sect uses music as martial arts, and naturally there are many tricks. Bai Yushuang was about to restrain Bai Bing so that he could go back to the capital to kill himself, but suddenly he wanted to teach her martial arts again. There was obviously something wrong. When Bai Yushuang took off the pipa to play, Lin Jue had already pulled the piece of cloth and stuffed it into his ears as a precaution. When he saw Liang Qi's sleepy look, Lin Jue rescued him in time.
Although Lin Jue and Liang Qi had lost their way, the situation of Bai Bing in the temple was very different. Soothed by the music of Pipa, Bai Bing, who was already exhausted mentally and physically, relaxed and sat under the wall. Already drowsy by the campfire.
This piece of music is actually very familiar to her. When she was very young, she had this Pipa piece in her memory. At that time, she was taken to Mobei by her master and lived in a wilderness valley. Whenever she cried and missed home, her master would
Play this song, and Bai Bing will quickly calm down and fall asleep. Bai Yushuang has never been a mother, and naturally lacks experience in raising young children, so when Bai Bing cries, she will play this song to let him
Bai Bing fell asleep. This pipa song was originally the "Qingxin Mantra" in the Magic Sound Sect. It is an auxiliary exercise method. Its effect is to soothe the muscles and spirits, make people free from distracting thoughts, and calm the heart. In Baiyu
In Shuang's hands, it has become a means of hypnosis.
When Bai Yushuang discovered the hypnotic effect of this song, she devoted herself to studying and modifying it. For more than ten years, this song has become a means of attack. It can confuse the enemy's will and lull him to sleep without him knowing it.
Human beings slaughter. To be precise, this song should no longer be called "Pure Heart Curse", but should be called "The Soul Reaper".
Seeing Bai Bing lying on the ground in a daze, Liang Qi gestured to Lin Jue, asking if he wanted to show up to rescue him. Lin Jue waved his hand gently. Lin Jue could tell that Bai Yushuang wanted to make Bai Bing
She wanted to stay, so that she could escape and go back to the capital to kill herself. Her purpose was not to kill Bai Bing. If she killed Bai Bing, she would have hundreds of ways. Bai Bing was definitely not her opponent. If Bai Bing was not restrained, Bai Bing would be killed.
She will threaten her life to ruin her plan. This is her purpose to control Bai Bing with the music without hurting her. When Bai Bing wakes up, she is dead and the problem is settled. Even if she makes trouble again, she can only
Accept this reality.
After the pipa song ended, Bai Yushuang slowly put down the pipa, walked slowly to Bai Bing's side and squatted down. Lin Jue and Liang Qi hurriedly took off the cloth strips from their ears, stretched their necks and listened carefully.
"Hey, Bing'er, why are you doing this? Why do you want to make me unhappy? Don't you know that I am the only one who treats you sincerely? There are too many bad people in this world.
Now, I can't let you be hurt by them. When you are by my side, the master will protect you well and protect you for the rest of your life. In fact, the master does not want to force you to avenge my Magic Sound Sect. You are kind-hearted. You raise me.
Little squirrels, feed them pine nuts, but they are all food. We live in Mobei, and squirrels are the best meat. Many of the meats you eat are the little squirrels you like, but you
I just don’t know. I caught it in the mountains for my teacher. When you asked what kind of meat it was, I couldn’t bear to let you know the truth. I told you it was wild wolf meat or wild wolf meat. You ate it with gusto and said it was very delicious.
It’s delicious...Hey! If you knew the truth, would you still be able to eat it?"
Bai Yushuang reached out and stroked Bai Bing's hair, whispering softly.
Lin felt angry and speechless, not knowing how she felt in her heart. If Bai Bing knew that her favorite squirrel was her daily source of meat, she would probably go crazy.
"...You were very obedient when you were a child. You listened to whatever the master said and did what he told you to do. But why did you suddenly become like this? The world is so chaotic and there are so many bad people, how could the master do it?
Is it safe to let you come into this world? You are kind and simple at heart, and you are the easiest to be deceived. The Mr. Lin you mentioned already has a wife and concubines, but he still comes to provoke you, which means he has bad intentions. So he must die.
.You like him because you are not deeply involved in the world and do not know the dangers of people in this world. The master cannot let you follow the footsteps of me, and cannot let you suffer all the torture in your heart. The master must protect you all your life and prevent you from being hurt by others.
Bullying. So the master must take you away. You sleep for a while, and when you wake up, I will kill the man named Lin, and I will have nothing to worry about after that. Our master and disciple will return to Mobei and live the old days.
By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing. Aren't you sad that Dahuang died? I found a puppy that is exactly the same as Dahuang. You will definitely be very happy to have it with you when you go back."
