Seven years ago, Xiao Wen was not the feared assassin Rakshasa in the arena. At that time, he was only an 18-year-old boy, and he had not yet made the name of "Rakshasa" famous.
He was originally an orphan and was picked up by the old pavilion master of the Shadow Pavilion to be trained as an assassin. What he experienced since childhood was cruel selection. Killing others among countless children and being the only one who survived, even with talent, luck, and ruthlessness. This is how the Shadow Court trains assassins.
The assassin fell into darkness and never saw the light of day.
He was found on a mission. The other party was a big man. Although he succeeded in assassinating him, he was chased by many people and fell off a cliff during the battle.
He thought he was going to die like this.
After waking up, he found that he was in a valley, and the wounds on his body were carefully bandaged.
A girl in red walked into the house and glanced at him: "Drink the medicine when you wake up."
The girl is dressed in an exotic dress, with a fiery red dress and long braids, which is indescribably bright.
Xiao Wen was instantly alert and wanted to get his knife, but the bedside was empty.
"Your knife is on the table," said the girl in red. "Put such a dangerous thing under the pillow, and you're not afraid of turning over and cutting your head."
Xiao Wen's face was cold: "Give me the knife."
The Assassin's weapon never leaves his body.
Seeing his face, it's all damned.
"Aren't you people in the Central Plains who pay the most attention to the kindness of dripping water? You treat your savior like this." The girl snorted softly, "Your arm is broken, and you can't even hold a knife. Why, Do you still want to kill me?"
Xiao Wen: "…"
The girl asked again, "What's your name?"
"Xiao Wen." Xiao Wen regretted as soon as he exited his mouth, his eyes filled with annoyance. How could he reveal his real name
The girl nodded and turned around indifferently: "Got it."
Xiao Wen quickly asked: "You asked my name, shouldn't you introduce yourself?"
The girl looked back at him and smiled slyly: "I won't tell you."
Xiao Wen: "…"
Don't say it, don't say it, as if he rarely knows.
Xiao Wen was chased and killed all the way, and fell off the cliff again. He was seriously injured and could not be cured for a few months. He lost his mobility, and it was the girl who took care of him.
He had never been so cared for, and no one had ever treated him so well. Xiao Wen never believed in good things for no reason, and he never let down his guard. But no matter how cold-hearted he was, the girl didn't care, just smiled and said, "If you ignore me again, I'll put a lot of peppers in your meals at night, it's good, more, oh~"
Xiao Wen compromised aggrievedly.
The girl's enthusiasm was like a flame, and she was as bright as a scorching sun, almost burning the teenager who grew up in the icy cold pool.
After a few days, Xiao Wen's attitude softened.
"I want to get paid." After Xiao Wen's injury was slightly lighter, the girl sat down on his bed with a book, "I saved your life, you have to teach me to read."
Xiao Wen was surprised: "Your Central Plains dialect is obviously very good."
"It's just my eyes and ears, but I'm very smart." The girl smiled, "But I can't read yet. If I want to live in the Central Plains in the future, I have to be illiterate."
Xiao Wen couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going back to your hometown?"
The girl's smile suddenly faded: "I hate it there, and I don't want to go back in my life."
Xiao Wen stopped the topic knowingly.
The girl laughed again: "Will you teach me?"
Xiao Wen suddenly blushed a little: "...Okay."
The days in the valley passed quickly. The girl was very smart, Xiao Wen taught her carefully, and she made rapid progress.
Once, the girl pointed to a word on the book and asked, "Axiao Axiao, what does this word mean?"
Xiao Wen glanced at it, and suddenly his face exploded red.
That word is: Wushan Yunyu.
Xiao Wen thought about it for a long time, then hesitantly said: "It's... the matter of the husband and wife Dunlun."
"I know husband and wife, what does Dunlon mean?" The girl wondered, "Your vocabulary in the Central Plains is really broad and profound."
Xiao Wen's face turned even redder: "It's... the love of men and women."
The girl got stuck for a moment and nodded thoughtfully: "I know this. It's not comfortable at all. I hate this kind of thing the most..."
Xiao Wen nervously said, "Have you ever done such a thing?"
"Ah?" The girl was stunned for a moment, "No. It just feels... It must be very uncomfortable."
Xiao Wen said cautiously, "What if it's with someone you like?"
He had actually realized that he was probably... in love with this girl.
"Who I like?" The girl hesitated for a moment, "I don't know. I haven't liked anyone yet."
Xiao Wen was slightly lost.
"But if it was Ah Xiao," the girl rolled her eyes, "probably would be happy."
Xiao Wen was startled, and before he could scrutinize the meaning of those words, the girl quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, why did you fall off the cliff?"
Xiao Wen choked, thinking that each of her questions is really difficult to answer.
"I killed someone, was discovered, and was hunted down again." He hesitated for a long time, but still didn't want to hide it from the other party.
"Why did you kill?" the girl asked curiously.
"Because... I'm an assassin, and there's a bounty for killing people."
"Assassin?" The girl was suddenly excited, "Can an assassin get a lot of money? Then I want to be too."
Xiao Wen quickly dismissed the other party's idea: "No, not everyone can be an assassin, and he has to walk on the edge of life and death every day."
"Don't underestimate me, I'm very powerful." The girl pondered, "Besides, I don't know how to make money by myself..."
"It's not good either." Xiao Wen said immediately, "If you are short of money, you can come to me. I am the Shadow Pavilion Rakshasa, this is my token, I will use it as a certificate for you."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, and added in a condescending manner: "...after all, you saved me, and it is also appropriate to give you money."
Not because I like you.
The girl was so happy that she kissed him on the cheek: "Ah Xiao, you are so kind!"
Xiao Wen was sluggish on the spot, and his heart was pounding.
After raising him for a while, Xiao Wen was able to get out of bed and walk around, leaving the house and ventilating in the valley.
There is a forest in the valley, the breeze blows, and it is quiet and peaceful. It was their quietest time.
The girl walked backwards in front, and Xiao Wen followed slowly behind. The young man's eyes were full of unconcealed affection.
Xiao Wen couldn't help but said, "It's been so long, you should tell me your name too, right?"
The girl said, "I don't have the name of the Central Plains yet, or..." She smiled brightly, "You can get me one."
It was a quiet mountain forest, and the girl he liked smiled at him and said, "Get me one."
Xiao Wen's heart exploded into fireworks in that smile, he was stunned for a moment and blurted out.
"Then call it... Lin Yan'er."
"Lin" is the place of encounter, "Yan" is the place where my heart is moved, and "er" is what I want to call you more intimately.
Xiao Wen planned the future very well, and when he fully recovered, he would take Yan'er out with him. Yan'er was not familiar with her life, so he settled Yan'er by his side.
Besides, he thinks... Yan'er should like him a little too.
It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes.
One day Lin Yan'er looked solemn and whispered, "I think... she's coming."
Xiao Wen asked, "Who?"
Lin Yaner shook her head and said, "It's okay."
Xiao Wen didn't take it to heart.
- That was the one thing he regretted the most in his life.
Because he didn't care this time, he looked for her for four years.
Lin Yan'er left without saying goodbye that night, and there was no news.
Xiao Wen looked for her like crazy, but unfortunately there was no trace.
He was just an ordinary assassin in the Shadow Pavilion, and he couldn't mobilize his forces to find Lin Yan'er. Reliably, he was alone and could not find her at all.
The girl looked after him like a dream for three months, and then woke up, she never appeared again.
In order to have enough power to find her, Xiao Wen began to take on the task desperately. He took whatever others dared not to pick up, the more dangerous the better, and he didn't even give himself time to breathe. Sometimes with injuries on his body, he started to take on the next task without stopping.
The Shadow Pavilion Killer is divided into three levels: Earth Kill, Heaven Kill, and Lore Kill. As long as he kills enough people and is strong enough, his status in the Shadow Pavilion will skyrocket, and after reaching the lore, he will be eligible to compete for the next Pavilion Lord.
He wants the Shadow Pavilion, not for the sake of fame or for profit, just to find someone.
The name of Rakshasa appeared on the Assassin Ranking, quickly jumping from tenth to second, becoming a recognized model worker in the killer world.
He lingered on the brink of death countless times, and when his consciousness was hazy, a mysterious person would always appear. He couldn't see the man's face clearly, but when he woke up, the wounds on his body would be healed.
who's that person
Xiao Wen didn't know.
When Xiao Wen was twenty-two years old, he took on the task of assassinating the King of Qin.
At that time, there were four lore killers in the Shadow Pavilion, and the old pavilion master called the four of them together and said, "The name of King Qin is known all over the world, and all assassins have gone without a return. I don't ask you to kill him, as long as you can If he comes back alive in his hands, he will be the next pavilion master."
... In the end, only Rakshasa came back from the four lore.
The price is serious injury.
He was poisoned by an unsolvable poison, his life was hanging by a thread, and he felt like he was going to die.
At this time, the mysterious man appeared again.
She fed him a medicine, turned and left.
Xiao Wen tried his best to stay awake this time: "Stop!"
The mysterious figure froze.
"...You are Yan'er, right?" Xiao Wen asked, "Every time before, it was you who saved me, right?"
The mysterious man was quiet and was about to leave.
"Yan'er, don't go..." Xiao Wen whispered, "I've been looking for you for four years."
The man froze for a long time, then helplessly turned around and took off the hood on his head.
It was Lin Yan'er's beautiful and moving face.
She came over, squatted down and sighed: "Ah Xiao..."
Xiao Wen raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, then fell into a coma.
When he woke up, there was no one in the house, and he was instantly flustered. He opened the quilt and went to find someone: "Yan'er!"
Lin Yan'er came into the room with the medicine, and frowned when she saw him getting out of bed: "What are you doing? Lie back down."
"Drink the medicine when you wake up." Lin Yan'er put the medicine bowl on the bedside.
This sentence is exactly the same as it was four years ago.
Xiao Wen looked at Lin Yan'er in disbelief: "Yan'er..."
Lin Yan'er didn't look over her head: "Look at me, drink medicine!"
Xiao Wen just looked at her: "Are you going to leave this time?"
Lin Yaner was silent for a while: "I can't show up often."
Xiao Wen didn't understand what this meant, and he asked, "Why did you suddenly leave back then?"
Lin Yaner didn't want to answer this question: "Don't ask."
"Okay, I won't ask." Xiao Wen hoped, "But don't leave this time, okay?"
Lin Yaner struggled for a moment, then nodded lightly.
…
They clearly love each other.
Although Lin Yaner didn't say it, Xiao Wen could see it.
This realization made him extremely happy.
They spent another three months happily. During those days, he took no assignments, and his laziness was very different from the conscientiousness of the past. The outside world guessed that he was dead or was recovering from an injury. Only he knew that he had found a loved one, and of course he would not want to waste time on other things.
On the last day, Lin Yaner suddenly took the book she used to read and turned to the page of "Wushan Yunyu", half ashamed and half anxiously said: "Ah Xiao, I want to do this with you. thing."
"Cough cough cough!" Xiao Wen coughed earth-shatteringly.
But how could he refuse. That was the girl he had been looking for for four years.
So it came naturally.
The next day Xiao Wen woke up and saw the girl in his arms, showing a silly and happy smile.
After he thought about it, he would marry Yan'er and be good to her for the rest of his life.
But the woman on the bed woke up and raised her eyebrows when she saw him for the first time.
Xiao Wen thought she was joking, and replied with a smile: "My lady is so wrong."
"Pfft, who is your wife? It's not the slave family." Lin Yan'er looked down at her body marks for a moment, and was slightly surprised, "It's already... Damn, I don't remember it at all."
Forget it, it doesn't matter.
She got out of bed lazily, and smiled tenderly: "Langjun's skin looks good, it makes me want to try it again. It's a pity that the slave family doesn't eat back grass, and the slave family is going to find the next one."
Xiao Wen smiled faintly: "What do you mean?"
"Didn't the slave family tell you before?" Lin Yan'er wondered, "Every time the slave family went to bed with a man, they explained that it was only this time, and they didn't bother with each other after that. Don't you forget it?"
Xiao Wen was stunned.
Every time you go to bed with a man
Just this time, don't get entangled
… What's the meaning
But Lin Yan'er wouldn't answer him.
After that, Xiao Wen persistently pursued Lin Yan'er for three years.
He heard that Lin Yan'er was a slutty girl in the Jianghu population, and her body could not be separated from a man. Hearing that she turned her face ruthlessly, she would never eat back grass. I heard that many men coveted Lin Yan'er's beauty and tried to taste the most lovable bitch.
not like this. The Yaner he knew was not like this.
"I suspect that the current Yan'er... is not Yan'er."
Drunk-eyed Xiao Wen raised his head and said these words, with tears in his eyes.
"In the past, every time I was on the verge of death, my beloved Yan'er would appear... But then I self-harmed to the point of serious injury, and she wouldn't appear."
"It's not that I didn't find that poisonous snake in the woods, but I deliberately ignored it. Sure enough, when I saw my life hanging by a thread, my Yan'er appeared!" Xiao Wen's eyes lit up, but it dimmed again in a blink of an eye, "But she It disappeared again soon... How dare I believe it? How can there be such a thing as one body and two souls in the world, but now Yan'er, I really... really don't know her."
Wei Lian calmly listened to the story, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen took it directly and drank it in one breath.
Wei Lian said, "You're drunk, get a good night's sleep."
Xiao Wen obediently closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly.
Wei Lian glanced at him and turned to leave.
The last glass of wine was added, and when Xiao Wen woke up tomorrow, he would only remember that he was too sad and drunk, and would not remember what he said.
After turning the past of Rakshasa upside down, Wei Lian returned to the next door and said, "I have eyes."
Ji Yue raised his head: "Huh?"
"He told a story." Wei Lian said, "I'll tell you."
That night Weilian once asked Ji Yue: "Rakshasa is the pavilion master of the Shadow Pavilion. How can ordinary injuries be without medicine, and it is worth sending them specially by Lin Yaner? How did you hurt him back then? If you know that what Lin Yaner sent is What kind of medicine, maybe you can guess a little of her origin."
Ji Yue said, "He was poisoned."
"A Lian is very skilled in medicine, but I used to feed you... Cough, you didn't develop an antidote when you were using poison, did you?" Ji Yue said this with a sullen face, just wanting to go back to the past and beat himself up pause.
Wei Lian said, "Yes. I also want to ask, where did you get these strange poisons?"
With Wei Lian's medical skills and poison skills, there are few poisons in the world that can hardly get him. Pian Jiyue used one of them, and he couldn't distinguish all the medicinal materials.
"A Lian probably knows everything about medicinal herbs in the world." Ji Yue said, "But it's not necessarily the case outside the world."
Another world.
"Alian's master has not aged for many years, so he must be a master of the world. But I was not shocked when I saw it." Ji Yue said.
Wei Lian thought about it carefully, it was true.
He told Ji Yue that he had met the master when he was a child, and he was already a young man at that time. More than ten years later, the master is still the same as before, and the passage of time does not affect him in the slightest, but Ji Yue was not surprised when he first saw him.
"Among the ancestors of the Qin state, some people sent people to the immortal mountains in the sea for the elixir of life." Ji Yue said, "I didn't find the immortal medicine, but picked up some immortal herbs. These herbs are not common, and each has miraculous effects. Some of them can prolong life, and some are made into chronic poisons to control the dark guards. Others, one can kill you, and none of the detoxification pills in the world can work.
"No one can still live in the world after assassinating me, death is only a matter of time." Ji Yue said lightly, "If Rakshasa was poisoned, even if he escaped for a while, he would die of poisoning when he returned."
"But he survived," Wei Lian said, "and has been immune to all kinds of poisons since then."
"He should have died." Wei Lian murmured, and Ji Yue looked at each other, suddenly speaking in unison.
"Unless, there is another revival pill in the world."
