Chapter 52 The Princess
The sound was very soft, like someone accidentally stepped on the fallen flowers in the forest path, it was so gentle that it was almost silent.If an ordinary person stood here, he might not be able to hear at all.
If it was normal, Shen Wu would definitely not pay attention to this sound, but now that he is in such a place that bears the name of curse, he has raised his vigilance from the beginning, and he clearly remembers that after stepping into the capital, he will Never saw any living things again.
He had never heard any sound other than his and Zhou Lian's extremely low breathing.
He looked over almost the moment the voice suddenly sounded, and at the same time gathered a bunch of spiritual consciousness, and rushed over.
But it was empty.
He couldn't help frowning slightly.
Zhou Lian said, "Don't chase after, keep going."
This time, I walked all the way to the old site of the original palace of Chendu, and I didn't encounter any abnormalities again.
He looked at the majestic palace gate, and whispered to Zhou Lian, "Brother, I want to go in and have a look."
Shen Wu has not been to the palace for a few times, and the only memories of the early years have been wiped out with so many years of ups and downs.Fortunately, the five senses of the two of them are far superior to ordinary people, and they look very fast. Some palaces can be confirmed as long as they glance at them from a distance.
It's just that because of the weirdness here, they dare not be too presumptuous after all.
Zhou Lian finally pulled Shen Wu back after wandering around the palace walls for a long time, and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Shen Wu's face was not very good-looking, and he paused for a while before answering: "I'm looking for the former residence of the eldest princess."
Zhou Lian said, "Eldest princess? Doesn't the princess live in the son-in-law's mansion? Why are you looking for her place?"
Shen Wu tugged at him, and said as he walked: "This eldest princess is different. I heard that her husband, who is from Quming, was accidentally robbed when he was traveling, but fortunately he was rescued by a passing caravan. The team brought him all the way to Chendu, and he became the son-in-law after being spotted by the eldest princess. However, he always thought that he would be bright, so he never sought an official position in Chendu all his life, and he didn't have his own residence. , lived in the palace with the eldest princess."
Zhou Lian said blankly: "If you want to go back so much, why is he still here to marry a wife?"
Shen Wu: "..." Good question.
He said helplessly: "How do I know that it happened decades ago, and I also heard it from hearsay. It's just that I heard that the son-in-law was frightened, and he couldn't accept it when he arrived. The eldest princess hadn't given birth to a child, so he went."
Zhou Lian came back and commented: "He married that princess for joy."
Shen Wu was silent for a moment, and felt that what he said made sense.
Zhou Lian changed the subject: "But you haven't said yet, why are you looking for her place?"
Shen Wu's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Uncle Yun is the only son of the eldest princess."
Zhou Lian listened quietly without interrupting.
Shen Wu hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I knew a long time ago that I don't have long to live, but there are some things that I have to do."
For example, find out the truth of the year.
He paused, his voice lowered: "The funny thing is, I haven't accomplished anything in the past ten years."
It took ten years just to get his life back.
"I always feel that Master's attitude towards Uncle Yun is not quite right. Now that I think about it, he went to Quming for the sake of Uncle Yun, but he always avoided him. He sincerely defends Master Yun. Uncle, I think he is good from the bottom of my heart, but he tells me to stay away from him."
He looked at Zhou Lian: "Don't you think it's strange?"
Before Zhou Lian could answer, he smiled again: "Actually, in the final analysis, it's just because, now that the city of Chen is in the capital, there are only me and Uncle Yun left."
In fact, this does not prove anything.
It's just that he couldn't find any other clues, so he had to come here to try his luck.
Shen Wu looked away, and said in a low voice: "I suspect others so unreasonably, it seems that I am no different from a demon cultivator."
Zhou Lian couldn't keep quiet when he heard that, he frowned and scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Shen Wu also didn't want to waste time on hurting the spring and autumn, so he changed the subject in a good manner: "Let's go."
Suddenly Zhou Lian said: "You said, is that where the eldest princess lives?"
Shen Wu followed his gaze and followed his gaze.
Almost at a glance, he came to a conclusion: "Yes."
Without him, it is really that palace, which is too conspicuous.
The brothers and sisters around are all dusty and lifeless, but only it looks like a beautiful woman who just came out of the bath, every inch of the wall is like a new building, and the glazed tiles are moving. of gloss.
Clean and tidy as new.
The garden behind the locked palace gate is by no means the deserted and untended scene in other palaces.
More importantly, Shen Wu's spiritual sense could not "see" this palace.
Even if it is not, there must be a demon if something goes wrong, and it is better to "catch the demon" than to wander around like a headless chicken inside this towering palace wall.
Without hesitation, Shen Wu took a step and walked over there.
There was a restriction on the door, Shen Wu glanced at it, and couldn't help frowning.He couldn't undo this restriction.If it is resolved by violence, I am afraid that there will be more troubles.
Zhou Lian couldn't undo the restriction that he couldn't undo.Shen Wu did not give up thinking about it again, just halfway through, he felt unbearable pain coming from the depths of his soul, he had no choice but to give up, made a tactic with his fingers, and was about to use force to solve it, suddenly thought of something, turned to Zhou Lian, With a tight voice, he said:
"Brother, why don't you try it?"
This "test", it must not be for Zhou Lian to use his poor forbidden skills to try, Zhou Lian understood, and took out the cheap sapling jadeite.
A white light flashed on the restraint, and it quickly returned to calm.
The next moment, with a click, the lock opened.
Shen Wu's pupils shrank suddenly, and soon he suppressed all his thoughts, remained silent, and cautiously stretched out his hand to push the door.
The door was unexpectedly heavy, and it didn't move at all under his push. He added another [-]% of his strength, and the door let out a long sigh and slowly opened.
It was like opening a door to another world.
A ray of light suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
Even though Shen Wu and Zhou Lian had been on guard for a long time, they couldn't help raising their hands to cover their eyes at this moment.
When I put down my hand, the scene has changed again.
It was still the same palace, but Zhou Lian beside him disappeared, replaced by white flags and suppressed cries.
It's an illusion.
The mournful and mournful cries kept piercing into his ears, Shen Wu took out his bow unmoved, and took two steps forward, the scene in front of him suddenly changed again.
A mother and child appeared in the field of vision.
The mother and the son are both wearing beautiful embroidery, the woman is certainly beautiful and the boy is not bad at all, the mother and son stand together, very seductive.
It's just that the mother's eyes were dead silent, and there was no love for the child at all. Although the child was dressed luxuriously, his expression was shrunken and gloomy.
The woman was teaching the boy: "Be quiet, please, learn from your father, he is such a gentle and gentle person, how can you always think about dancing with guns and sticks? You are his child."
She is obviously a well-bred woman, and when she taught the children, she didn't speak harshly, but spoke softly and cheerfully, and was very gentle.
The child lowered his head and said: "Mother, the child knows it's wrong."
The woman hugged him into her arms: "Hey, Chen'er is a good boy, study hard, and take mother to see the stars in the future, okay?"
The boy hugged her back, but his eyes didn't fluctuate, like a wooden person, and said "hmm".
Next, Shen Wu watched the boy's daily life from the sidelines.
Like the children of other noble families, the boy is also busy reading poetry and books and learning the six arts every day.It's just that unlike other children, his mother cares more about him.
For example, he will check his handwriting every day, and point out in a gentle voice: "The word 'Zhi' of Chen'er is not quite the same as your father's. Remember to copy it fifty times when you go back today, and show it to mother tomorrow."
For example, I will play chess with him at a fixed time every day, and take the initiative to make him regret the game after the boy makes a move, and say with a smile: "Chen'er made a wrong move, your father will not do this."
Even when the boy recited the poems, she would say softly: "Chen'er seems to be reciting this sentence differently from your father."
She is gentle and patient from the beginning to the end, and the child is never impatient with her cumbersome demands. Every time, she repeats it over and over again in her amiable correction until she is satisfied. Until like his father.
The mother and son have never had any conflicts and get along very well.For some reason, Shen Wu felt a chill in his heart.
"Your father" as the woman kept saying.
For the child's numb eyes every day.
The child grows up day by day, and finally grows into a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. Also white.
Women love to wear white clothes for him, saying that his father liked white clothes the most before.So the boy was dressed in white all the year round.
The mother and son's years of hard work finally paid off. One day, when a visitor came to visit, he saw the young man in white who was quietly leaning on the fence and lowered his head to read a book. His expression was dazed, and he said in surprise, "This child really looks like his father!"
The woman showed a satisfied, gentle and sweet smile.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. After the guests left that day, the boy sent someone to buy a bunch of black clothes and came back. After the woman heard about it, she hurried to the boy's residence, but was horrified to find that the boy in black was holding a knife repeatedly. to cut himself.
She finally lost her bearing for the first time, and rushed over to snatch the knife from the boy's hand.
The boy didn't argue with her, and quietly let her take the knife away.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to ask, when she saw the young man looking at her sullenly and fiercely, and when he caught her line of sight, he shivered without manners, like an uncivilized beast.
The traces carved on him by so many years of upbringing disappeared suddenly.
The author has something to say:
I'm about to vomit blood, and it's clearly set to post at nine o'clock, but when I climbed up to see it, it didn't go out! ! !
