Chapter 12
Shen Lang turned over from the bed, came to his senses, and gasped for breath.It was a cool autumn day, but my clothes were soaked in heavy sweat.
Shen Lang looked out of the window, the sky was blue, and the moon was in the middle of the sky, but it had just reached Zishi.
In this weird manor, he actually fell asleep, which is really too dangerous.
And the well he experienced just now was also a dream, but this dream was so vivid.Bai Feifei laughed miserably, and Zhu Qiqi's mournful cry was still in his ears.
He was still immersed in his dream, but he actually heard a very small and very weird sound in his ears, floating from a higher place in the mountain, mixed with the whistling night wind.Except for experts with extraordinary hearing, there will never be too many people who can hear.
Shen Lang pushed open the window of the room, gathered his mind, listened carefully and found that the voice seemed to be a woman's singing.
He turned out of the window, his figure was so fast, it seemed that he had melted into the pure moonlight and became a blurred shadow.Following the singing, he went beyond the wall of the villa and went to a higher place of the mountain.
The voice gradually became clearer, it was indeed a woman singing, the singing was mixed in the wind, intermittent, tactful and sad, telling the full of melancholy, it was moving.
What kind of woman is this?What kind of pain did you go through to sing such a sad song?
Shen Lang kept on stepping, and after a while, the singing became louder, and a rugged and narrow stone path appeared in front of him, with stretching rocks on both sides, withered trees covering the upper part of the rocks, and exposed rocks and soil below.
Going up the stone path, after slowly seeing the rock on the left, there is a half red wall, and a cornice protrudes from behind the red wall, illuminated by the desolate and secret moonlight, like an ancient temple in the jungle, or like a deep mountain The mysterious manor in.
This scene was reflected in Shen Lang's eyes, and he felt inexplicably familiar. Could it be that he had been here before?But under hard thinking, there is no memory at all.
The woman's singing came from behind the red wall.
Shen Lang jumped onto the rock, pulled his palm on the dead branch, his body rose again, and he jumped over the red wall in an instant.
After coming to the red wall, you can see the corner cornice, which is an octagonal pavilion with red pillars and gray tiles, standing alone in the wind.
When I got here, the singing was almost in my ears, and there was also the sound of gurgling water.
Shen Lang followed the sound, and all the way there were strange rocks and beautiful trees, setting off the backdrop.A creek less than a foot wide stretches around the feet.
Finally arrived at the source of the singing, and at the end of the stream.
The sound of the water is stirring, and the singing is melodious.
There is a line of waterfalls that fall from the nine heavens and fall into the world.The waterfall is only three feet wide, and the water is not strong. After falling, the water flow is scattered and intermittent, hanging on the stone wall like a bead curtain, and finally merges into a clear pool under the cliff. The splashes are small, like clouds and mist. The water in the water is also gentle.
The person who sang is a woman by the clear pool.
She is not afraid of the cold of autumn, she is wearing a thin shirt, sitting on the cold rock by the pool, with bare feet, stretching into the biting pool water.
Those jade feet, with slender ankles, are as white as jade, kicking up sparkling water splashes, which is indescribably seductive.Her face is also as beautiful as her jade feet, and as sad as her singing.
The curved willow-leaf eyebrows are tightly frowned, as if they will never be able to relieve the melancholy between the brows, the big round eyes are sparkling, filled with sorrow, the cheeks are so pale that there is no trace of blood, they look so weak, Arouses pity.
The most conspicuous thing was the fingertip-sized cinnabar between her eyebrows, which made her skin look more like fat.
Her face is not similar to Bai Feifei's, but her weak temperament is surprisingly similar.
Shen Lang didn't hide, he had already walked out, interrupting the woman's mournful singing.
She looked at him in horror, like a frightened fawn.
"You, who are you?"
Shen Lang said: "Girl, don't panic. I'm just a guest of the villa. I was attracted by the girl's singing in my sleep. I'm really ashamed to trespass." His gentle voice and polite words made people feel at ease.
The woman calmed down, bent slightly, "I disturbed the young master's dream, and Lianhua apologizes here."
lotus?This name instantly reminded Shen Lang of the lotus flower painted on paper with ink, so what is the relationship between this woman and that organization?Could it be that she is the head teacher?
But she is so weak.
Shen Lang couldn't help but think of Bai Feifei. In his eyes, she was not weak, charming, and pitiful. But after the truth was revealed, how cruel and vicious is the ghost girl?
Whenever he thinks of the time in the cave behind the Huashen Temple, Shen Lang's heart seems to be overwhelmed by those heavy, powerless, heartache emotions.
Shen Lang looked at the lotus and was speechless for a moment.
He suddenly caught some small voices in his ears, it was the sleeves of his clothes rubbing against the leaves of grass, a smile could not help but floated on his lips, he sighed heavily and said: "I am here, but I dare not come out, because I am afraid that uncle will blame you for sneaking away ?”
Lianhua looked at him in astonishment, wondering who the words were addressed to, when she heard a cough from the right, and then saw a young man in scarlet clothes covering his mouth and coughing, walking out from behind the bushes.He had a handsome face, his eyes were like stars, and there was a faint smile on his lips.
"I had something to do before, how could brother Shen blame me, but I didn't expect to let brother Shen take a step ahead of me." Wang Lianhua laughed.
Shen Lang laughed and said, "I thought you didn't care about your poison?"
Wang Lianhua smiled and said: "I really don't need to worry, because I know that there are people who are more anxious than me."
Shen Lang smiled wryly, "As long as I don't look for that person again, your life and death have nothing to do with me."
Wang Lianhua stared at Shen Lang, smiled and said: "You can't."
"Are you so sure?"
Wang Lianhua sighed: "It's just because in your heart, responsibility is more important than your life. Now that we meet here again, isn't it the best explanation?"
Shen Lang smiled and said: "Since you can think of finding this young master, how can I not think of it?" "But we both are attracted by this singing, so we have a good understanding." Wang Lianhua smiled even more, "So , People with better ears are always prone to encounter good things."
Shen Lang said: "What good thing?"
Wang Lianhua looked at the woman in pink and said with a smile: "For example, seeing a stunning beauty and hearing a beautiful singing voice."
The woman stared at Wang Lianhua carefully, she was slightly stunned, her pupils constricted suddenly, and she exclaimed as if she saw something frightening.
"You, you, the poison of the banana deer, why is there a banana deer? Could it be that the devil is back again!" She stared at Wang Lianhua with burning eyes, muttering in a low voice, her words were chaotic, as if she was talking in her sleep.
Surprised by her sudden change, the two of Shen Wang couldn't help but look at each other.I was thinking in my heart, this woman must know many things about Wang Lianhua's (herself) poison.
Wang Lianhua walked up to the woman with her hands behind her back, with a smile on her face, she bowed and said: "Hello, Miss Lianhua, I'm Wang Lianhua, our names are so destined, and about the poison of the banana deer that the girl just mentioned, please let me know." The girl made it clear."
The woman didn't take her eyes off his face for a moment, now she looked closer, her eyes became even more frightened, she stared for a long while, and then said quietly: "There is a little red between the eyebrows, the banana deer is a dream."
A little red between the eyebrows?Wang Lianhua turned around to look at Shen Lang in a daze, her eyes were full of puzzlement, and there was a trace of questioning.
Shen Lang looked closely at his face, and found that at some point, a red spot as thin as a pinpoint appeared between his eyebrows.Under the dark moonlight, his face was fair, and the red spots were as bright as blood.
Wang Lianhua was full of wit and cunning, cruel and merciless, obviously not vulnerable at all, but Shen Lang suddenly felt that he was a bit pitiful at this moment, like a hare being watched by hunting dogs, with a hint of helplessness.
The moment Shen Lang nodded, the light in Wang Lianhua's eyes flickered a few times.
Lianhua's mood gradually calmed down, and she asked sadly, "How did you get poisoned by this banana deer?"
Wang Lianhua looked at the red spot between her eyebrows, frowned and said: "The poison in me is called banana deer? Is it possible that the girl is suffering from the same disease as me? I wonder if the girl has a solution?"
The woman sighed and said, "If I have the solution, how can I become this inhumane ghost?"
Her words were like several heavy hammers, hitting Wang Lianhua's head, his expression was startled and full, and he hurriedly asked: "Young lady, doesn't she look fine?"
Lianhua sighed: "Since there are red spots between your eyebrows, the poison must have occurred once. How did you feel when it occurred?"
Wang Lianhua murmured: "Drowsy, lost consciousness."
Shen Lang added: "Raise a knife to kill someone."
Wang Lianhua was taken aback, and asked: "I wanted to kill someone at that time?"
Shen Lang smiled bitterly: "You almost killed me."
The expression on Wang Lianhua's face changed, and she pondered for a moment before saying: "So, this poison reflects the true thoughts deep in my heart?"
Shen Lang said: "If that's the case, then you definitely don't want to kill me in your heart."
Wang Lianhua frowned and asked, "How do you know?"
Shen Lang smiled lightly, but didn't answer him.
Lianhua said: "Because of this poison, in the first six months, it needs poison induction to attack. When the attack is unconscious, it will chase and kill a designated target. And the poison induction and target are the ones that were discovered when the poison was made. It's fixed."
Wang Lianhua's complexion changed, and she said: "It sounds more like some kind of Gu."
Lianhua said again: "Maybe that's the case. In fact, I don't know very well about these poison-making matters. I only know that the banana deer has already added the blood of the target person when making it. Those who have been poisoned must kill him." .”
Shen Lang asked again: "What if the poisoned person can't kill the target?"
Lianhua sighed: "The six-month period, if you can't kill it, you will die."
Cold sweat rolled down from the corner of Wang Lianhua's forehead, his face seemed to be paler, and his voice trembled slightly, "Doesn't the girl look fine?"
She looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, and said quietly: "If Ayu hadn't endured humiliation and tried his best to find the antidote for me to relieve the banana deer, I would definitely not be alive today."
Wang Lianhua anxiously asked: "Then is there a cure for this poison?"
Lianhua sighed: "Naturally there are."
Wang Lianhua's eyes lit up, "How?"
"One way is to kill your target, another way is to find that snow-capped Youtan, but you need to take it as soon as the flowers bloom."
Wang Lianhua's eyes were dull, "How rare is this snow-capped mountain, and where can I find it?"
Lianhua sighed: "Yes, in the southwest border of Yunnan, there is a towering snow mountain named Yulong in the far west. Ayu and I once spent a month reaching its foot, but we were blocked by the silent forest at the foot of the mountain. I don’t want to go back home. I heard from the local people that the flower has become a essence, and the Buddha only saves those who are destined, and the flowers only bloom for those who are destined.”
Wang Lianhua's voice was low, and she said coldly: "Why didn't the girl kill your target?"
Lianhua was startled, and when she lowered her head, tears had already flowed down her cheeks, "If that target is someone you love deeply, what should you do?"
Wang Lianhua's heart was shaken, and she looked at Shen Lang. His face was clear and bright, hidden in the shadow of the moonlight, and he couldn't distinguish his expression, but those deep eyes seemed to be staring at him.
Wang Lianhua calmly turned her gaze back and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I don't have this problem."
Lianhua said again: "I was killed by the devil, but he wanted me to kill Ayu. How could I do it? I would rather die by myself. Moreover, the devil even let Ayu's voice become my poisonous lure. Hearing his voice, I can only swing my sword at him. For this, Ayu even, even, cut off his own tongue."
Hearing this, both Shen and Wang gasped, and looked at each other with general shock.
How can I cut off my own tongue?What a painful decision this must be.
The lotus flower has been whimpering and weeping, the cry is shrill, floating in the cold wind.
Seeing her distressed appearance, Shen Lang couldn't bear to ask more questions, but he had to ask this question.
"Who is that demon?" His voice was low, and the words seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.
"Duan Feng." Lianhua left the name behind and covered her face and ran into the cold night wind.
The moon has slanted to the west, and there is only the rustling sound of waterfalls between the sky and the earth, like drizzle, endless, but it just sets off the silence of the sky and the earth.
The fine water mist floats in the air and sticks to the cheeks, bringing a damp chill.
Shen Lang and Wang Lianhua were still standing opposite each other, silently concentrating on each other, there was a faint breath flowing between the two, it was the exchange of eyes, and even more silent confrontation.
Both of them had the same indifferent expression on their faces, as if they were devoid of any emotions, and seemed to contain infinite meanings.
Wang Lianhua was suddenly a little depressed, he found that in this silent confrontation, he had lost the advantage of geographical advantage.
Shen Lang was opposite him, with his back to the moonlight, his entire face was hidden in the shadows, except for those eyes that were always shining like cold stars, other facial features were blurred and difficult to distinguish.As he faced the moonlight, even the slight twitch of his eyelashes might not escape Shen Lang's eyes.
Isn't this the first downfall?
Wang Lianhua tried her best to calm down, but felt that her mood became more and more restless, and even her breathing became disordered, so she could only speak to break the terrible silence, "Can you see where this room is?"
Shen Lang said: "I really didn't think of it before, but at this moment, I already know that this is the place drawn on the picture of three beauties, it looks like a separate garden of the master's house."
Wang Lianhua said: "The owner here is Mr. Duan who cut out his heart and made medicine?"
Shen Lang said: "There should be no mistake, maybe it is also the Duan Yu that Lianhua is talking about."
Wang Lianhua said: "Lianhua and Duan Yu are in love, but good luck can trick people. The lotus flower is poisoned by a kind of poison called banana deer, which destroys people's minds. The person who poisoned it is Duan Feng. Duan Feng and Duan Yu seem to be related?"
Shen Lang said: "Brother? Father and son? Relative? I don't know."
Wang Lianhua said: "Duan Feng seems to be a very terrifying person."
Shen Lang said: "Maybe it's because his poison is extremely terrifying, a poison that turns people into evil spirits."
The two chatted, asked and answered each other, and sorted out many things one by one, but their voices were all the same indifferent and cold, with little emotion.
"I think of someone." Shen Lang's voice suddenly became low, with a hint of grief.
Wang Lianhua sneered, "If Qiu Susu was really poisoned by the banana deer, then you are indeed wrong."
Shen Lang was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Maybe I'm really wrong."
"But you have already done it, and there is no room for redemption."
"I just don't know whether the person she loves is Duan Yu or Duan Feng?"
Wang Lianhua shook her head lightly, and snorted coldly, "Do I still need to care about others now?"
"It's really not necessary."
"So, my poison is the sound of the pipa?"
"There should be nothing wrong."
"The target person is you?"
"Absolutely."
Wang Lianhua finally smiled, under the dim moonlight, this smile was a bit blurred, "Brother Shen, will you let me kill you?"
Shen Lang couldn't tell if he was smiling, but his voice was only faint, "Will the prince kill me again?"
Another wordless silence, another silent confrontation.
After a while, Shen Lang finally sighed: "Why is it an obvious question, but I can't answer it right now."
Wang Lianhua said coldly: "Maybe it's not that we can't answer, but that we already have our own answers in each other's hearts." After speaking, he turned and left, with the light yellow moonlight covering his back, and his brisk figure was gone in an instant. Hidden behind the red wall.
