Yingchuan, Linjiao County.
Ten miles outside the city, there is a century-old temple.
The night was dark and windy, Xiao Shao kicked open the dilapidated wooden door.
Lin Shu followed behind with a qin in his arms, went in, and saw three statues, not knowing what they were.
He remembered the books that Xiao Shao had read before, and said: "It is said that he is a ranger in the rivers and lakes, and he spends the night in a temple in the mountains, and he has to worship the gods and Buddhas. Do you want to worship too?"
Xiao Shaohun drew his knife indifferently: "Why should I believe in gods and Buddhas?"
After saying that, he hooked his lips: "If I carve a jade statue for you and enshrine it in the temple, I will be willing to go to worship in the morning and evening."
Lin Shu plucked the strings, but just smiled lightly and said nothing.
After he made up his mind to travel in the mountains, he and Xiao Shao changed the qin. The texture was much lighter and thinner. As a mortal with no skill, he carried it with him without any effort, standing or sitting, laying flat or holding it diagonally. All can pop out.
In the afterglow of the piano sound, Xiao Shao's knife light suddenly burst out, slashing straight towards the largest statue in the center!
The hollow statue collapsed suddenly, revealing a black hole.
Not long after, Xiao Shao took Lin Shuzhi into the lair of the bandits who had been rampant in Yingchuan for more than ten years.
The boss with his face full of flesh trembled: "Knight, chivalry, spare your life!"
Xiao Shao sat on the high seat that originally belonged to the bandit leader, carelessly, and blew the blade, as if disgusting that the dark hole had soiled his treasured sword.
Then he raised his eyebrows slightly: "One hundred and twenty-three lives in Huojiazhuang in the suburbs, 3,000 taels of silver in Yingchuan Prefecture, and Jiangjin crossing the Jinjiacao gang to destroy the family... Do you agree or not?"
"This..." The bandit leader couldn't stop kowtowing: "Knight, you know clearly, this day will fall forever and the people will not be able to live. My brothers and I are both old and young, and we are forced to make a living. This..."
Xiao Shao looked at him and smiled lowly.
The smile was very gentle, but obviously, in the eyes of the bandit boss, it was the smile of a life-threatening ghost.
"Oh?" Xiao Shao said, "I didn't know that this long night fell ten years ago."
Immediately, no further words were said, the sword was unsheathed, and "God's will is like a sword" swept the entire bandit den, and hundreds of heads fell to the ground in an instant.
It was dark and windy at night, and this man put three heads of the second and third heads of the big masters and hung them on the gate tower of the neighboring county.
The evil deeds done by this band of gangsters more than ten years ago are indeed not a pity to die, and the people in the city will probably applaud.
Xiao Shao took a scarlet pen and wrote several large characters on the place where the three heads were hanging.
Liangzhou had no visitors, and there were four hundred and eighty-three people from the Dragon and Whale Gang. It was the seventh day of the eighth lunar month in the Gengxu year.
The blood-red color is very shocking, just like the coquettish red stripes on his black-black clothes, blood-red, so demonic and shocking.
There is a poem in the ancients saying, "Fuck the clothes, and hide the merits and fame", but Xiao Shao did not hide the merits and fame, but spread the deeds widely, as if to let the world know this "no return to Liangzhou". guest".
Lin Shuquan thought Xiao Shao couldn't help himself before, and he was a little uneasy, but now he has bottomed out, and he has read too many words in the previous days, so he suddenly fell into the second grade, and even thought he was a little cute and played a clear-hearted song. , so that he would not indulge in killing, then he would go.
Dao Companion is already twenty-three or four years old, and suddenly he is in second grade. What can he do
- There is no other way but to get used to it.
After writing, go slowly. Neighboring counties are more prosperous, with inns, restaurants, and banks in Phoenix Mountain Villa.
At that time, the empress's ambitions were exposed, and none of the disciples of Phoenix Villa's main village survived. Only these women did not have the talent for immortality. Lin Shu holds the Phoenix Order, which is equivalent to half the owner of the villa.
The two stopped at the inn.
The private room is near the window, reflecting the dark sky outside.
It's not pitch black, but it's pretty much the same.
When Lin Shu came to this world, he was in a ghost village outside the city of Minzhou. The ghost village was shrouded in grievances and grievances, and there was no daylight. As a result, the crops were weak and the livestock were as thin as firewood. The villagers could only live with difficulty.
And the whole world now is very similar to the ghost village back then.
Fortunately, Xiao Shao did not completely lose his mind. The world was only dark and unclear, and there were no resentful ghosts. Otherwise, the legendary "world where all ghosts are rampant" may have come.
Lin Shu looked at Xiao Shao looking out of the window.
The current situation is not his fault. It was the queen who planned the resurrection of the phoenix and sacrificed the woman of the villa and Xiao Shao as sacrifices.
But Lin Shu knew that in Xiao Shao's heart, he would not excuse himself like this.
He couldn't comfort him either, he could only play a soothing and clear song to soothe Xiao Shao's heart.
After a while, Xiao Shao summoned the shopkeeper of the inn to ask about the changes in the world over the past few days.
The shopkeeper went into details.
That day when the sky fell and the night fell, things could not be hidden after all, but the truth was too obscure and twisted, and it was spread to the ears of the world, and then it was interpreted by Mr. Storyteller, and it had already changed its appearance. It is said that this queen seems to be a mother in the world, but in reality she is unable to satisfy her desires. In order to gain the authority of the world, she sacrificed her own daughter, Princess Fengyang, to resurrect the ancient phoenix. I did not expect that something went wrong in the process. It is an evil phoenix who has returned from the eighteenth floor of Shura hell. This evil phoenix is the most terrifying and ferocious monster in the world, possessing boundless mana, so as soon as it appears in this world, the world will usher in an eternal night, and Phoenix Villa has also become a bloody hell. Now that the night is hard to see, and the grass and trees are not growing, I, such as ordinary people, can live a day for a day.
Xiao Shao: "It's reasonable."
It is also said that the North and South Xia are unified, and the Western Xinjiang also bowed its head and surrendered. Finally, my Southern Xia prince ascended the throne. He first pardoned the world and cut taxes, and the people loved it very much.
Xiao Shao: "It's also a bit promising."
It's gone, everything in this world, the rest are trivial matters.
The shopkeeper stepped back, and Lin Shu spontaneously nestled into Xiao Shao's arms.
Xiao Shao stroked his hair for a while, and said, "The resentment is overwhelming, and the night is difficult to understand. After all, it is my fault."
Lin Shu said, "It was the same when I was in a ghost town. For more than ten years, although it was difficult, I could still support it... There are still many profound Taoist methods in the world. In more than ten years, we will definitely be able to find a solution."
"It's not good anymore..." He thought for a while and continued: "The barrier between the immortal world and the mortal world, the immortal can appear in the mortal world once every ten years, and then we will ask Qingming Demon Lord or the Huandang Mountain. Master, it can certainly be solved."
Xiao Shao kissed his forehead and tasted his lips very tenderly.
After Lin Shu was finally let go, he remembered that there was something wrong with playing the piano today, so he took the piano and played it again for Xiao Shao.
After listening to Xiao Shao, he said: "In March, the clear stream was in the mountains, it was cool and clear, and your temperament is quiet and out of the dust, which is naturally suitable, but in the second half of the song, the peach blossoms on the shore are dipped in water, and the falling flowers flow with the water, no longer. Going back again, you must have the meaning of 'hurting spring', when you were cultivating the ruthless way, you naturally wouldn't, but now you can realize it."
According to what he said, Lin Shu played it again, and it was much smoother than last time. Xiao Shao also said, "It's right now."
Lin Shu took advantage of his understanding and played it several times, while Xiao Shao took out a bamboo flute to make peace with him.
Immediately, my thoughts sank into the song, as if I was really in the green mountains, walking along the clear stream, lingering and forgetting to return.
After the song was over, Lin Shu looked at the bamboo flute in Xiao Shao's hand and remembered that Xiao Shao hadn't used him for a long time.
Naturally, I remembered that in the school that year, the eldest lady loved playing the flute under the moon, and most often played the ancient song "There are tall buildings in the northwest". The song is:
"There are high-rise buildings in the northwest, which are in line with the floating clouds.
There are strings singing, and the sound is so sad.
He sighed again and again, generously and sadly.
No matter how hard the singer suffers, the hurt friends are rare. "
Seeing him mention the song, Xiao Shao just hugged him and smiled.
After laughing, he said: "At that time, I was in a bad mood, and I often hurt my life, and people in the world who don't know me naturally like that song."
Then he pinched Lin Shu's nose: "And now, I have no worries, and my bosom friend has been by my side for a long time, so I haven't played that tune for a long time."
Lin Shu was very curious: "Am I a friend of yours?"
"Otherwise?" Xiao Shao said, "Do I like you only because you are good?"
Lin Shu: "Isn't it?"
Xiao Shao: "?"
Lin Shu said slowly: "Because I'm obedient, and then I don't get into trouble. My brain is not very good, but it's better than Henry Zhang. What you want to do, it won't stop you..."
Xiao Shao raised his eyebrows: "Do you really think of yourself as a little white face?"
Lin Shu: "No, but..."
Xiao Shao said, "No."
Lin Shu still wanted to make an argument, but Xiao Shao didn't give him the opportunity and immediately sanctioned him.
In the days after that, he traveled around the world, Xiao Shaoguo really did what he said, killing people who could not be killed in the past, and doing things that could not be pacified in the past, and after killing people, they will leave a message as before.
Liangzhou had no visitors, and killed two hundred and seventy-six people in Boyue Villa, Jiangzhou Prefecture, on the ninth day of the eighth lunar month in the Gengxu year.
Liangzhou had no visitors, and killed Guo Zhengqing, the chief minister of Jinguan City, along with 142 henchmen, servants, and guards.
Liangzhou had no visitors, and killed forty-seven demon witches in Hashe City, on the 16th day of the eighth month of the Gengxu year.
…
There were many types of people he killed.
There are bandits who gather in the mountains and forests, thieves who come and go without a trace, gentry in fish and meat villages, courtiers who wantonly manipulate power, and even sects who have entered the evil way, and wizards with unscrupulous minds.
Lin Shu had counted the number of people before, but later, the number became larger and larger, and he stopped counting.
The bloody handwriting, the iron painted silver hook, the river of blood behind it, and the bones like mountains, make those who hear it fight and those who see it startled.
The name "Liangzhou has no return" quickly spread all over the world.
Because all the people he killed had no small crimes, after the eradication, the people on one side were grateful, so everyone praised him, and even made up a nursery rhyme and spread it on the streets and alleys. And those who had committed numerous evil deeds before, were even more frightened and restrained a lot.
- With this homeless visitor pulling out the worms, and the new emperor pardoning the world and reducing taxes, for a time, although the world is still dark and gloomy, the people have the atmosphere of He Qinghaiyan.
It was only after March that the remarks circulating in the market changed again.
It is true to say that there are "no returners in Liangzhou", it is true to eradicate evil people, it is true to kill people like numbness, and it is true that they have no humanity, killing hundreds of people is only in the blink of an eye, how can people not be afraid? This person has a lot of blood and debts. If he kills the most wicked people, he will inevitably find people who are guilty of minor crimes, and then develop into people who are innocent and innocent... This person is violent and unscrupulous, and has a slaughtering nature. disaster.
- In addition, in this long night, people's livelihood is not known for a few years, and the world is in danger!
There is also a saying that some people recognize that the "god's will is like a knife" trick of the guest of no return has the legacy of Phoenix Villa, plus his unfathomable cultivation base, this person must be the Phoenix Villa who was resurrected from the Asura Hell." Evil Phoenix". The iron proof is the thing around him that looks ethereal, but is actually disgusting - this person was originally a little white face raised by His Royal Highness Fengyang. His Highness Fengyang was sacrificed by the queen and died on the Tiantai of Phoenix Mountain Villa. Having voted for a new master, relying on a little color, he continued to be that little white-faced, beautiful pamperer, and his behavior was ambiguous with that person, and his eyebrows and eyes were affectionate. When His Highness Fengyang Jiuquan learned about it, what did he think
Lin Shu just pretended he didn't hear it, but after Xiao Shao heard it, he dismissed many people who talked about him as a "little white face".
As for those words that said Xiao Shao was "violent" and "killing", even if it reached Xiao Shao's ears, he didn't see any special reaction, as if acquiescing.
The filth of the world can't be clarified in a moment, and killing people like this is indeed too much. But Lin Shu also knew clearly that Xiao Shao had always been sane and never lost control.
That being the case... Maybe Xiao Shao has his own reasoning.
In this way, another month passed, and in December, it was said that there was a valley of plum blossoms in Jiangzhou, and Xiao Shao took Lin Shu to enjoy it.
The sky was still dark, and although the plum blossoms were difficult to bloom, they were sparse and not as good-looking as in previous years. There was only a cold fragrance, which was still pleasant.
They were talking in a small pavilion, with wine in front of them, and they were sipping lightly when they saw three people approaching on the road in the distance.
Lin Shu recognized this figure at a glance, one was Guozi, one was Yingying, and the other... was a little monk.
Xiao Shaoyi saw it, but did not come forward,
"You go." He said, "They can't come near me."
Lin Shu then left the pavilion and went there to greet him.
Seeing Yingying running over and throwing herself into his arms, with a small face like a petal, when she saw him, her eyes immediately filled with tears.
Lin Shu picked up Yingying, Yingying buried her face on his shoulder and cried, she still couldn't speak, only tears fell, and soon wet his shoulder.
Guozi and the little monk then came over. Guozi didn't have women's clothes this time, and was wearing a beautiful red dress, just like a beautiful young man in his prime, he just heard him say: "You haven't heard from you for a long time, on the rivers and lakes... it's all... With such rumors, we are here to find you."
After that, he pulled the little monk again: "This is my friend, who refused to know Beicheng, you know it before."
The little monk gave him a monk's etiquette: "Lin Shizhu."
Lin Shu looked at the little monk and saw that he was about the age of 13 or 14. He was about the size of Guozi, his eyebrows were clear, his eyes were clear and calm, and his whole body was calm and aura, which was unusual. Why was this fruit kidnapped
He asked Guo Zi why she didn't wear a skirt anymore.
Guo Zi said with a sigh, "The thief and monk don't want to be close to women, so when he sees me wearing a skirt, he closes his eyes and becomes calm. I'm very annoying, so I didn't wear it this time.
Lin Shu wanted to laugh a little.
When they were talking, Yingying finished crying, her red eyes looked at Xiao Shao in the distance, and tugged at Lin Shu's shirt.
Guozi also said, "Aren't you going over there?"
"His physique is different now, and if you approach him, your spirit will be damaged," Lin Shu said, "Go back first, we'll go back when this is over."
"But rumors say..." Guo Zi was obviously in a hurry.
Lin Shu patted his head: "Qianqiu's merits and demerits, and leave it for future generations to comment."
"I..." Guozi's eyes were a little red, and he seemed to want to say something, but he held back, and finally said, "I don't know what happened, you guys, you must... take care."
Lin Shu: "Okay."
Guozi looked at Yingying again and said, "I want to hug too."
Yingying flattened her mouth and got off him.
The fruit rubbed against Lin Shu's body.
Lin Shu instructed him to practice martial arts well, take care of his sister, not to go out all the time to mess around with flowers, and not to delay the cultivation of other monks for nothing.
Guo Zi wiped his eyes and said I got it.
He hugged Yingying back and said to her, "They have business, let's go."
Even though Yingying was reluctant, she still nodded with tears in her eyes.
Just when Lin Shu was about to turn around and leave, he heard a clear voice: "Donor stay."
It's the little monk.
Lin Shu paused in his footsteps.
He heard him say: "The donor in the pavilion has killed too much and can't be washed away. I hope the donor persuades him to put down his butcher's knife, so as not to be punished by heaven in the future, and he will never be born again."
After speaking, he stepped aside, lowered his eyes and lightly twisted the Buddha beads, as if he had said all that.
Lin Shu stood there dumbfounded, with a thunderbolt in his head.
The murder is too heavy, and it is condemned by heaven,
Condemned.
The scene flashed back in his eyes, and he remembered the strange stories Xiao Shao had read before, who wrote about people who did all kinds of evil, with five thunders, and their souls were scattered...
In this world, no one can hurt Xiao Shao.
Who else can hurt him? Who can solve the resentment and anger of all things in the world in this eternal night
He seemed to wake up from a big dream, and he saw everything about Xiao Shao in an instant.
He held his breath and said to the little monk, "Thank you little master."
The little monk did not speak.
He turned around and walked back to Xiao Shao's position, looking at the handsome silhouette of him pouring and drinking himself. In just a few hundred steps, time ebbs and flows, and the seasons turn, as if a lifetime has passed.
Only Xiao Shao's figure remained unchanged.
He thought, yes.
Xiao Shao has always been such a person.
It has never changed.
He's never... been like this.
Seeing him come back, Xiao Shao got up, took his hand, and said, "Let's go."
Lin Shu's face was as usual, his tone was as usual, and he said softly, "Okay."
He walked slowly towards the exit of Meigu.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me, as if someone was running over, and there was a quarrel, and Yingying was pulled by Wuque.
Xiao Shao didn't look back and continued to walk forward.
But I heard a soft voice with a crying voice not far behind: "Daddy..."
Lin Shu felt that Xiao Shao's hand tightened suddenly.
It was the voice of a very small girl.
Hearing such a voice, you will immediately think of her small and soft body, snow-white slender arms, black and soft hair, beautiful and timid eyes, and the delicate fragrance on her body.
It is Yingying.
their little daughter.
She can't speak.
And the first sentence she said was such a sad and almost crying "Daddy".
Xu Shi saw that none of them looked back, Yingying's voice became louder, her crying became more pronounced, and she was even out of breath.
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
"Daddy, don't go..."
"Daddy..."
The voice gradually faded away and dissipated in the cold wind whistling in December.
But any man who has been a father in the world will immediately go back and hold his daughter in his arms when he hears such a tender and heart-piercing cry and pleading, and tell her that if Daddy doesn't leave, he will stay by your side forever.
But Xiao Shao never looked back.
