Master is not married yet

Chapter 12

Master let me go back and forth on Asura alone, while he himself sat under the shade of a tree to avoid the sun and watched me quietly.

Suddenly, a flock of birds flew high from the distant woods without warning, like magpies frightened at night, black figures pierced the sky, and birdsong resounded throughout the mountainside. Before I could react, four or five horses roared from the woods. When we came out, the people above were wearing plain Hu suits and brass masks, holding machetes and advancing towards us quickly on the vast grass, one after another, menacingly.

"Master!" Seeing that the visitor was not friendly, I dragged Asura and ran towards the direction of Master in a hurry, but he seemed to have expected it, and got up in a leisurely manner. There was no trace of panic on his face, but a smile on his face.

When I rode close to Master, he touched the ground on his toes, stepped on Asura in the air, took the rein from my hand, wrapped me around his chest and said, "Yingying will close her eyes later, and her head must also be careful." Don't lift it up."

I don't know what he meant by that, anyway, I don't need to know, I just know that it is right to survive and be obedient, so I quickly followed the master's words and kept Asura's mane, bowed my head and closed my eyes tightly.

I just felt that he tightened the reins and leaned closer to me, as if he didn't want anyone to know that I was on the horse's back. He gave a loud shout and kicked the horse's belly hard. After that, Asura raised his head to the sky and roared, his neighing resounding through the sky, straight to and fro People galloped away.

I was shocked, thinking that this was not suicidal, and subconsciously wanted to open my eyes, but a bony finger covered my eyes and said, "Don't open your eyes."

Asura's footsteps were extremely fast, and suddenly he passed through the group of horses approaching. From the sound, it sounded like he was galloping into the woods, but he could also hear the horses of the other party bleating a few times, and immediately changed direction, chasing after him all the way. after us.

The pots, pans and pans behind us clanged and rattled along with Asura's four hooves, and the surrounding leaves rustled, and the noise was endless.

Suddenly, amidst the chaotic noise, a bell rang abruptly, and I felt that the air around me suddenly became gloomy and cold. The spring moon that had already warmed up seemed to return to the cold winter moon overnight.The biting cold pierced through, I shivered unconsciously, grasped half of my arm, and felt a chill in my heart.

Just when I was trembling and couldn't stand it, a warm feeling came from behind me. Although I didn't open my eyes, I could feel that Master stretched out his hand to embrace me in his arms. I smelled his body. Hearing his breath, he said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, don't open your eyes no matter what."

A shrill scream came, "What are these!" A rough male voice shouted.

I heard the pace of the horses in the back didn't seem to be neat just now, but seemed disorganized at the moment, and the mournful neighing could tell that the horses were also in extreme fear, and even the people on it began to lose their composure.

"Don't get confused, Xiao Wuxia is good at illusion, these are fake—"

A sharp sound of chains roared out, and the man's throat seemed to be tightly strangled by the chains, and the words fell silent only halfway through.

"W-what!"

"These are true! Xiao Wuxia really knows sorcery!" Another male voice yelled in disbelief, "Wait—this face!! These people! How is it possible!"

I heard Master laughing contemptuously behind me and said, "Oh, you're not afraid when you kill people, why are you so afraid just by changing your face?"

"You are such a monster, no wonder you survived, but I didn't expect you to be able to do such a thing - ahhh - don't come here! You all back off!" The man screamed again.

"Hahahahahahaha," Master laughed loudly, "Look carefully, it's not they approaching you, but you approaching, they are all human pigs, with no hands, no feet and no eyes, how did they approach you?"

I'm horrified, you whore!There are rumors of torture such as gouging people's eyes, cutting off limbs, and making them deaf and dumb!Who are they?How could there be someone here?

The sound of the chain rattled again in a short time, and I felt a light behind me. It must be that the master let me go and jumped off the horse. After a while, there were several screams, but after a while, everything returned to calm again.

Nuoda's woods were silent for a while, and there was no sound, just like dead silence.

Although I felt that the matter should come to an end, I still didn’t open my eyes, and I was still thinking about what happened. I felt a heat in my ears, and Master’s voice came to my ears, “Okay, you should know how to ride a horse now. , you go back to the sect first, you still have something to deal with as a teacher, then follow."

He gave a few words to Asura, and Asura shook his head, raised his hooves and ran slowly, and walked towards the opposite direction of the woods. Before it was far away, I wanted to see what happened, so I opened my eyes slightly.

But when I opened my eyes, I regretted it.

The woods in front of us are full of red threads, like spider webs, covered with the "human pigs" that Master just said, swaying with the wind, and one of the people who just chased us was tied to the neck by a copper chain on the tree Entangled, hanging high among the trees, the bruised face was looking at one of the humans face to face, while the rest of them fell or lay on the ground with their masks half removed. The horse that came was gone.

The moment I opened my eyes, everyone suddenly turned to me, staring at me through the black eye holes, opening and closing their mouths, oozing black liquid, and the body with only the torso kept struggling, as if trying to break free from the shackles of the red thread. I come here.

I covered my mouth, and before I could scream, the bell rang again.The people and the red thread just now no longer exist, only the people who chased and killed us just now are lying on the ground, and the people who were suffocated by the copper chains are no longer chains around their necks, but vines hanging from the trees .

Master slightly turned his back to us, standing among them, holding a brass bell, clasped his hands, and couldn't see his expression clearly.

Although I deeply regretted what I saw, but seeing Master standing behind alone, surrounded by dead bodies except him, I felt for no reason that if we left him at this time, Master would only get further and further away from us.

I summoned up my courage and grabbed Asura's rein.It stopped suddenly, turned its head to look at me with disdain, and asked me what I wanted to do with its eyes.

"Go, go back."

It tugged on the rein, reluctantly.

"You are obedient, and I will give you two radishes later."

Asura groaned unhappily, and paced around.

"Does this mean that you want four roots? Wow, you are really quite human."

It shook its head slightly, quite proudly.

"It's a deal, I'll tell the second brother again."

So we turned back one by one, and when we were close to the master, I climbed off Asura and approached him as much as possible without looking at the corpse, and found a simple tomb in front of him. The red paper cranes were put into the excavated pit and then buried with bare hands.

"Master," I said.

"Why are you still here?" Master didn't look at me, and his tone was a little cold.

"I want to know what happened," I said, standing next to him, "and I almost died, so I should be entitled to ask."

He sighed and looked at me, "You just opened your eyes, right, aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, why don't you be afraid, I'm afraid to death, I must not be able to sleep well tonight," I replied.

Master finally smiled, "If I don't dare to sleep alone tonight, I don't mind being with you,"

"Master, don't try to change the subject." I looked at him seriously, "What happened?"

He turned his head to look at the Clothes Tomb, and the smile on his mouth became cold, "Everything you see is false and true. The person wearing the brass mask just now is a person from Guanyilou. Their client was a little unhappy, and they did some other things for the teacher to hinder them, so they came to take my life. I have no choice but to invite the underground friends who were killed by them to come out and scare them "He continued, "I just never thought that they would be frightened to death because of this, and they are really serious."

I was shocked, Guanyilou!
In my impression, Guanyilou is an assassin intelligence organization that exists with the acquiescence of the imperial court.The reason why they are acquiescing is because of their absolute neutrality and excellent ability. They only ask about the price, not about the target. Shengshili formed a delicate mutual check and balance relationship with the imperial court and the martial arts.

It's a pity that today's killers met Master unfortunately, the mission was not completed, and who the client was was already seen through by him. Obviously, Guanyilou's performance this month failed to meet the target.

Putting these aside, I still swallowed when I thought about the situation just now, "If Master said it, that person would be a pig,"

He turned cold, "It's a coincidence, I never thought I would meet the same group of people."

Same group?What's the meaning?
He didn't wait for me to ask, he continued, "It's so desperate and painful to put it in a wine jar and wait for death."
