Under the sky

Chapter 289

After nightfall, Guo Binian entered the attic in the dark as usual. As soon as he climbed the stairs and hung up the oil lamp, he turned around and saw a figure in the darkness, and almost screamed in surprise.

It was unclear whether it was bright or light, but the firelight illuminated half of his face, which was rosy, while the other half was hidden in the darkness.

"You...how did you get in?" Guo Binian lowered his voice and asked in surprise.The Iron Eagle Sect is a sect regardless of its size. There are more than a dozen guard disciples, and they all have to be careful to walk from the bedroom to the attic without being discovered.

"I saw it was getting dark, so I sneaked in and waited for you." Ming Wu replied matter-of-factly.

He is indeed a master who can assassinate the stinky wolf. Guo Binian secretly admired him: "I was still thinking about how to bring him in, but you came by yourself."

Ming nodded uncertainly: "Let's get started."

This was Guo Binian's first time to change clothes in front of outsiders. He couldn't help but hesitate for a long time before opening the box and taking out his clothes.It was the first time that someone watched him dress up, and he couldn't show his eyes. He carefully selected his favorite outfit, which was an imitation Tang Dynasty half-sleeved waist-length undershirt with a veil. A peasant woman and village girl couldn't afford such a good one. The material and style are so good that only a dozen households in the town can afford to wear them.

He put on his clothes, did a bun, put on his hairpin, and started applying rouge.As soon as he dressed up, he forgot that Ming Wuxi was around. When he was done dressing up, he turned around, got up a little shyly and turned around to Ming Wuxi, and asked, "Are you beautiful?"

Ming nodded uncertainly: "There is still a pair of earrings missing."

"I can't have my ears pierced." Guo Binian couldn't help but feel discouraged, "Dad will kill me."

"Did your parents leave any earrings?" Ming asked unknown.

Guo Binian rummaged through the box and found a few pairs of earrings and gave them to Mingshi. Mingshi picked one, found some copper wire and iron wire, and somehow twisted it, and made a small clip on the side of the earrings, which happened to be able to hold the earlobe.Guo Binian's eyes lit up and he hurriedly took the clip. He felt that the earrings Ming Wuxiang had chosen matched perfectly, so he said, "Please help me pick out some clothes!"

Unknown Ming found some clothes in the cage for Guo Binian to change into. Guo Binian felt that the clothes he picked were well-matched and both gorgeous and beautiful. Even the slightly ordinary dresses looked somewhat stylish, and he couldn't help but feel even more delighted.He changed three sets of clothes in a row without realizing it was troublesome. He also asked Ming unknown if he knew how to put on makeup.

He had hidden this hobby for many years and never mentioned it to anyone. Spending that night in the attic with Ming Wuxi was actually the happiest day in his life. He was filled with joy and completely forgetful of himself. Unknowingly, the noise became louder.The patrolling disciples heard strange noises and came looking for him. Guo Binian hurriedly blew out the oil lamp, held his breath and concentrated, breaking out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, the disciples didn't see anyone there. He just thought it was a rat and didn't check too much. He closed the door and left.

"So, are you satisfied?" Ming asked unknownly.

Guo Binian hesitated for a long time and said: "You can see me wearing this clothes, but I can't see it myself. How about...you...can you put it on and let me see it?"

Ming shook his head uncertainly: "When you get married in the future, you can wear whatever clothes you want, don't be in a hurry."

Guo Binian said: "It's a pity that these clothes were left by my mother. These are the only ones that come and go. If I can buy new clothes, I will wear them one by one for you to see."

He is the heir apparent of a local sect, and almost everyone in the town recognizes him. Not many people buy such fine fabrics on weekdays, not to mention that they need to be customized to fit properly. If you buy new clothes, you will be suspected.

"Wait for me for a few days." Ming said uncertainly. "There won't be very good fabrics in the small town, and the tailoring won't be suitable. You have to go to the big city. I happen to be going to Yiyang."

Guo Binian said hurriedly: "No way, you are a wanted criminal and it is dangerous to enter the city!"

Ming said vaguely: "Don't worry about me."

Guo Binian was moved to tears. He grabbed Ming Wuxiang's hand and said, "You are such a righteous man. You are indeed a great and good person!" He repeatedly reminded Ming Wuxiang to be careful and not to be captured.

Ming Wu nodded, jumped from the stairs, jumped down from the attic lightly, and made no sound when he landed.Guo Binian was surprised that he was so outstanding in Qinggong, and even more rare was that he was so kind. He couldn't help but admire his character and martial arts even more.

After working most of the night, Guo Binian kept taking a nap the next day and sneaked into the study to catch up on his sleep. Guo's father found him and thought he was lazy. He gave him a stern lesson and called his younger brother to watch.Guo Binian was fully expecting to meet Ming Xiangxiang again, and he didn't pay much attention to his father's scolding.

Five days later, Guo Binian came to the attic again and was shocked again by the unknown.

"When did you come?" Guo Binian asked.

"I just came back today." Ming unknown pushed the two large paper envelopes in front of him, and Guo Binian hurriedly reached out to take them.One letter had soft tentacles. He hurriedly opened it and looked at it under the light. Inside was a pink half-sleeved brocade dress with Luan pattern, a gauze skirt, a pink phoenix pattern belt and a pair of embroidered pearl shoes. The other letter was a box of rouge and gouache, and there were Tassels, jade pendants, hairpins, earrings, flower mother-of-pearl and other accessories are all available.

Guo Binian was so happy that he almost fainted. This was a new piece of clothing that he had not owned for many years. He also had a very discerning eye. The embroidery on this new piece of clothing was gorgeous, and it was eye-catching just by looking at it.He hurriedly dressed up and asked Ming Wuxiang to apply powder and makeup for him. He was originally worried that although his waist was thin, he was a man after all, and that it would not fit him. After dressing up, he felt that the width was just right. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Ming, where did you find it?" Clothes that fit so well?”

"I asked the embroidery workshop in Yiyang to work on your figure overnight." Ming asked unknown, "Does it fit you?"

Guo Binian said hurriedly: "It's suitable! It's so suitable!"

He couldn't help but dance in a circle, imitating the actress from the opera troupe and fluttering his non-existent sleeves. He also thought that even if he had such beautiful clothes, no one would be able to see them except Mingming. He couldn't help but feel lonely. He sighed and thought to himself: "The ancients said that people can walk at night in fine clothes. Who knew it? It is only now that we understand this truth."

Ming Xiang seemed to be able to see through his mind and asked: "Want more people to see it?"

Guo Binian asked hurriedly: "Can it be done?"

Ming Ming mentioned the oil lamp and said, "Follow me."

Guo Binian was surprised and happy, and followed Ming Wuxiang down to the attic.He was still worried about the patrolling guards, so he took him a few steps and avoided the patrols and came to the outside of the wall.He has been studying martial arts for many years. Even though he was dressed in women's clothing, it was not difficult to climb over the wall. However, he was still impressed when he saw the unknown and jumped over lightly.

Guo Binian was worried that his newly bought embroidered pearl shoes would be stained, and he felt distressed after walking for a long time while carrying an oil lamp to guide the way.The two came to the entrance of the market. A beggar was lying on the ground. He asked him to wait for an unknown reason. He stepped forward to wake the beggar up. He didn't know what to say. The beggar sat up straight. He turned around and said, "Come forward." .”

Guo Binian was very hesitant. After all, he was the son of the head of the clan. If word spread about his nondescript appearance, it would not only be embarrassing, but he couldn't hold it back anymore, so he stepped forward slowly with a light lotus step.Ming unknown, he shined the oil lamp on Guo Binian from head to toe and asked the beggar: "Are you beautiful?"

The beggar was stunned for a while and nodded quickly: "Beautiful! So beautiful!"

Guo Binian was afraid that he would recognize him, but he didn't seem to recognize him when he heard his tone. He couldn't help but take a step forward, turned around, and asked, "Am I really beautiful?"

The beggar seemed surprised when he heard what he said, but he still said hoarsely: "Beautiful! Very beautiful!"

Guo Binian asked: "Where is the beauty?"

The beggar was stunned again, and only said: "My whole body is beautiful! The clothes are beautiful, and you are also beautiful!"

These words aroused Guo Binian's suspicion. Just as he was about to step forward, he stopped him and said, "It's time to go back."

Guo Bi young nudged Kai Ming unknown, stepped forward to take a closer look, and said in surprise: "Are you blind?"

The beggar was exposed and could only nod: "Yes, I am a blind man."

Guo Binian felt empty and boring in his heart. He took out his sleeves and saw that he had no money in his new clothes.But he handed him a handful of silver coins, which was about a penny in weight, which was considered generous.Guo Binian threw the silver horn to the beggar. The beggar took the silver horn and couldn't believe such a generous reward. He couldn't help shouting: "Beautiful, so beautiful! The young master's clothes are beautiful, and the young master is also handsome!"

Guo Binian was afraid that his loud words would trigger the patrol, so he hurriedly said: "Okay!" and then left quickly with Ming unknown.

"How much money did these clothes, jewelry, and rouge cost?" Guo Binian returned to the attic and said dejectedly, "I'll give it to you."

"No need." Ming asked him unknownly, "Do you have nothing more to ask for?"

"Why do you want to help me?" Guo Binian couldn't help but ask.

"I want to see what you will do." Ming Wuxiang thought for a while, "I have a friend who said you don't need a reason to do good deeds. Can I count myself as doing good deeds now?"

"What a great thing." Guo Binian replied with his head lowered.

"Then I'm leaving." Ming unknown was about to get up, Guo Binian said hurriedly: "Can you stay a few more days to accompany me? I...I don't even have anyone to talk to. If possible, you can live nearby Come on, I can still control Jiayang Town, so there’s no need to worry about danger.”

Ming asked uncertainly: "Is your last request to stay for a few more days?"

Is this enough?Guo Binian asked himself. "I...just do it once." Guo Binian said, "I want many people to see me. I want to wear this dress and go out during the day to see if I am really beautiful."

"That's impossible." Ming Wuxi said clearly, "You originally just wanted someone to listen to you, then you wanted me to see you wearing women's clothing, then you said you wanted others to see you, and now you want more people to see you. "

"Not wanting is the seven major sufferings. Desire is hard to satisfy. After one time, there will be a second time, and eventually something will happen." Ming said unspecifiedly, "I have seen this kind of thing before, and I already know the result."

"I just like beautiful clothes, who am I in the way?" Guo Binian finally vented his inner dissatisfaction and resentment, "Who makes the rules about what clothes men wear and what clothes women wear? Why can there be Qian Dankun on the stage? I You can’t wear nice clothes!”

He thought that even if he married a wife in the future, he would only be able to dress her up. If he wore them for his wife to see, he would be afraid of scaring her to death, and he would definitely not be able to wear these beautiful clothes.

"If you don't conform to the world, you will eventually be hated by the world." Ming answered vaguely, "Or do you want to hang yourself again?" He shook his head, "Even if you are not born into such a family, you cannot wear these clothes unless you are a She’s a girl, and she’s very rich. Ordinary people can’t afford such clothes. If it’s not one in a million, it has to be one in a thousand.”

When Ming unknown was about to go downstairs, Guo Binian held his hand: "Just once, I promise there won't be a second time, help me! Just treat it as a good deed!"

Ming unknown thought for a while and asked him: "Can you play music and dance?"

■

On the way to Bieshan Town, Guo Binian couldn't suppress his excitement and joy, and ran straight out for twenty miles, but he was worried that he would be left behind, so he slowed down his horse.

An unknown person was already waiting for him ahead, and a carriage was prepared.Isn't he a wanted criminal? How come he has everything he wants, even a carriage?Guo Binian couldn't help but think about it, and also thought that if he wasn't so smart and savvy, he probably wouldn't be able to assassinate the Jiangxi commander. But he had such ability at such a young age, so there was a huge difference between him and himself.

A change of clothes has been prepared for him on the carriage, and Ming and Unknown is dressing him up in the carriage.

"Leave after an hour." Ming gave an unknown instruction, "Don't talk, don't stay overnight, don't go to other people's yards, don't interact with others."

Guo Binian nodded, and for unknown reasons, he tied a hanging bun for him and covered his chin and Adam's apple with red cloth.Guo Bi Nian was still young, and his body was strong due to his martial arts training. He had a waist, only three or two inches wider than Ming Wuxiang. As for his chest, he liked beautiful clothes and didn't want to pretend to be a woman, so he didn't pretend to be a woman.

The carriage arrived at Bieshan Town in the afternoon. It was obvious that he was a wanted criminal, and it was inconvenient to stay in the town for a long time. Guo Binian entered the town by himself, holding the pipa in his arms, his heart beating fast and his palms sweating.

Guo Bi-nian attracted attention as soon as he stepped into Bieshan Town. He was dressed in luxurious clothes with jade hairpins and pearl shoes. Although he still held a pipa and half covered his face, his features were picturesque and his waist was delicate.He noticed the scorching gazes of everyone. Almost everyone turned their heads for him, and he heard a few faint compliments.

She must be beautiful, he thought.He came to the market entrance, took out a bowl from his sleeve, placed it on the ground, and played the pipa.

In fact, Guo Binian played the pipa quite poorly, making mistakes and omissions from time to time, and only played two or three pieces of music.Guo's mother could play the pipa, and she would play music to entertain herself when she was living in the wing due to her madness. He learned some from his mother when he was a child.

However, it doesn't matter, there are still crowds of people around him. It is true that his gorgeous clothes attract people's attention. The bigger reason is that everyone wonders how could such a gorgeously dressed beauty end up in Bieshan Town?How much does this outfit cost?

Boss Chen, who owns the cloth shop, secretly said: "I don't have more than a dozen taels of silver, and I can't dress like this." Since she can afford to wear this kind of clothes, she is definitely not an ordinary street performer looking for food and clothing, so she calls this folk art There is nothing to sell. What attracts everyone is the admiration for the gorgeous clothes and the mysterious identity.

With so many people watching him, Guo Binian felt a little carried away.Who says beautiful clothes can only be worn by girls?If the cadres on the stage are not fascinating, how can the disciples be fascinated by them?There are ancient examples of Pan An throwing fruits and killing Wei Jie. Alas, it’s a pity that he is still not good enough and has to hide it. If Brother Ming puts on this clothes, he really wants to throw fruits with every move. The car looks like a killer.

Why don't you let dad take a look?Guo Binian played the tuneless pipa, thinking that everyone has a love for beauty. If Brother Ming prepares a more beautiful set of clothes to wear for his father, maybe his father will understand and understand how the nine-ring knife is better than the other. It's not as good as Tang knives with pearls and tassels and jade carvings. Men's clothes are not as exquisite as girls' clothes, and soap boots are not as good-looking as Dengyun shoes.

His lifelong wish finally came true. Seeing the crowd gathering more and more, he forgot about himself and couldn't help but kick on the spot. He raised his slender waist and looked at the moon with his arms in his arms. He had learned martial arts and his movements were smooth and smooth without any delay.

"What a beautiful girl, show your face!" someone shouted.

Guo Binian heard this, and while he was intoxicated, a man walked out of the crowd, with hair that was almost an inch long, and came forward to lift his veil. Guo Binian was surprised and dodged, taking a step slower, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover it.

The man was a lay monk from Puguang Temple. He had recently returned to secular life. He was a vulgar man. He shouted: "Why are you hiding so much? Show your face. If you are beautiful, you will be rewarded!" After that, he grabbed his arm. .Guo Binian was afraid of showing his face, so he turned his head and raised his arms to block. When the man saw him practicing martial arts, he was surprised and shouted: "Brother, come help!"

Four strong men emerged from the crowd, all with short hair. They reached out to grab Guo Binian. Guo Binian had to block and dodge. He was in a hurry. He wanted to run but was blocked by the wall of people. He couldn't help shouting: "Get out of the way!"

As soon as the words came out, they suddenly felt something bad. Everyone was even more surprised when they heard his deep voice. Several lay monks worked together to press him to the ground, grabbing his hands and feet. They saw that he had a big nose and a wide mouth, but he was not beautiful. They suddenly felt disappointed. She grabbed his chest again, her tentacles were flat, and with a groan, she reached out and grabbed his lower body.

Someone shouted: "It's a man!"

Guo Binian showed his presence, and without caring about covering up, he kicked a monk in the face, knocked a carp upright, and smashed a good pipa on a bald man. He turned to run away, but he was already shouted at to take him down, and the heavy wall turned against him. Become an obstacle, blocking the way.

Suddenly there was a pain in his vest and he was kicked. He was caught before he could fall down. More than ten people came from nowhere and pushed him down. They kept kicking and beating him. He could not escape and could only protect his head and face and was beaten.

I only heard someone say: "He is a monster!" "A man who disguises himself as a woman must do evil things!" "Disgusting! Beat him to death!" Someone else shouted: "Catch him and take him to the sect for interrogation!" This interrogation will not put him on trial. Personally ruined?Guo Binian was frightened. Just as he was about to speak, someone kicked him in the face, causing his nose to bleed.The crowd kept beating him up, kicking and kicking him like rain, causing him to vomit blood. His rouge was gone, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were in tatters.

He was picked up and dragged towards Puguang Temple. A group of people followed him and shouted to arrest him for interrogation.He was dejected and heard a girl trying to dissuade everyone: "What's wrong with a man wearing women's clothes? It doesn't bother anyone." He glanced at the girl and thought to himself: "There are still people who understand me."

In the end, his reputation will be ruined, and his father will be disappointed, and he will be filled with despair.Suddenly, a carriage rushed out from the street in front. He recognized the carriage and even more recognized the man on the horse.

A ray of silver light flashed past his eyes, and the two people holding him yelled and let go. He knew the opportunity was too good to miss, so he reluctantly pounced forward.Still ten feet away, the silver light suddenly circled up and coiled around his waist. He jumped up using the strength, landed on the horse, and the carriage rushed out immediately.The disciples of Puguang Temple chased after them with shouts and shouts. The man immediately cut off the shaft of the chariot with a sweep of silver light. The horses were freed from their shackles and ran at full speed. Those disciples were mediocre in martial arts, how could they catch up?

This escape lasted five miles away from Bieshan Town before stopping.Guo Binian almost fell off his horse and lay on the ground with his face covered in blood, red and white. His half-naked body was covered with footprints and bruises. Not only were several of his ribs broken, but three of his teeth were knocked out.

Ming unknown sat beside him and looked at him.

"Thank you... thank you." He gasped, his whole body aching.

"Did you just want to go back and show it to your dad, thinking your dad might not be surprised?" Ming asked unknown.

Guo Binian nodded. He was really carried away and that's why his veil was easily torn off. At that time, he vaguely felt that it didn't matter even if others saw him.

"You are very boring. I thought you would do things differently." Ming shook his head, "What you will do is all within my expectations." He paused and then said, "It's okay to stop here and continue. Go down and I can see your end."

Guo Binian couldn't help but gasp for air, and said with a wry smile: "I don't dare anymore, I... know I'm afraid." But he was still unwilling in his heart, "But I'm not bothering anyone, why are you doing this to me?"

"I don't understand either." Ming shook his head uncertainly, "I can only say that if you don't go with the world, you will be abandoned by the world."

"When I was beaten just now, a girl spoke for me." Guo Binian said, "I went home to recover from my injuries. I plan to find this girl and marry her. I can wear beautiful clothes in front of her and give birth to three or five children in the future. Girls, everyone should dress up beautifully."

He smiled, but couldn't help but his eyes turned red.

"I...do I look good in that dress?" he asked.

Ming unknown nodded.

Guo Binian was helped onto the horse by an unknown person. He lay on the horse and asked, "Can I see you again in the future?"

"It's best not to." Ming said vaguely.

Guo Binian looked lonely: "Then... take care of it."

Unknown Ming slapped the horse's butt, and the horse ran towards Jiayang Town.

Guo Binian is just an ordinary person. He has unsatisfied desires, gets more and more, and takes chances. He does not have the courage to face the world and risk the world's disapproval. The seedling of a strange flower may not bloom into a gorgeous flower.

I think of Yang Yan for unknown reasons, and wonder what has become of that wonderful flower now?

Let’s go to Shaolin first.
