Three thousand crows kill

Chapter 13 He wants to accompany her, it is really a beautiful and caring promise
The room was too quiet to hear a sound.Qin Chuan only felt very cold, his hands and feet were curled up in the cloak, and he was still shivering from the cold.

At such a time, she could no longer force a smile on her face.

She moved slightly and looked around blankly.I don't know how to take the next step. Is it true that he will forcibly take him back to Katori Mountain?

At some point, a scroll was placed on the table, which was several times larger than usual scrolls, and a red ribbon was tied neatly and beautifully.

It's not her thing.

Qin Chuan grabbed it and untied the red ribbon. The paper used for the scroll was very new, and it still carried the warmth of his body.

Opening it up bit by bit, what was drawn on the paper was a palace that she was all too familiar with. She grew up here for 14 years from childhood to adulthood.Jingyan Palace, the most beautiful palace in the Dayan Palace, is full of begonias. When she left, those flowers had just bloomed, but no one had the heart to appreciate its beauty.

Qin Chuan's hand softened, and the scroll fell to the ground, and she froze in shock.

The illusion suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, surrounded by delicate red and white crabapples, she was sitting in the sea of ​​flowers, watching the wind blowing the petals up and brushing the corners of her clothes.People came and went in Jingyan Palace, father, queen and queen sat beside her peacefully, but their faces were blurred.The eldest brother and the others were also there, everyone had blurred faces, only the second brother squatted in front of her with a smile on his face, his lips and teeth moving, as if he wanted to speak to her.

"Second brother!" she cried, reaching out to hug him, but there was nothing under her arms, and she almost rolled off the bed.

Aman came slowly carrying tea, with a familiar gentle smile on his peaceful face, and put the teapot beside her hand.

"Don't...don't go..." She subconsciously went to grab her hand, but naturally it was all in vain.

She understood that these were just hallucinations made by Xianhua, everything was fake, so she couldn't touch them, and couldn't hear them talking.It's just that she really can't believe that one day she will see them again, in real life, smiling at her, talking and walking around her.All this was like a sudden dream, she was thrown into it abruptly, and she couldn't bear to come out.

Qin Chuan withdrew his hand suddenly, clenched his teeth tightly, and the tears trapped in his eyes couldn't hold back and fell one.She was so stubborn, she didn't allow the second one to fall, wiped her face with the cloak fiercely, turned around and ran to the door.

The door opened, and Fu Jiuyun stood opposite her.He should have gone to bandage and apply medicine just now, the blood-soaked coat was hanging on his elbow, and he looked down at her quietly.

"I've been drawing this painting for the past few days." His voice became calmer, "It's only half finished, and I'll give it to you when it's all done. When I was sure that you were Di Ji, I wanted to do this. "

Qin Chuan nodded in a daze, and murmured, "...Mr. Qi?"

Fu Jiuyun said in a low voice: "Whether it's Young Master Qi or Fu Jiuyun, it's just a name and it doesn't matter. The important thing is that last time Young Master Qi couldn't accompany her, he was always one step late. This time, Fu Jiuyun will put She catches."

She just stared at him like she didn't know him.

It was rare for Fu Jiuyun to be seen a little uncomfortable, so he raised his hand and gently pushed her into the room, and closed the door: "Go in."

He rolled up the painting again, tied a red ribbon and placed it behind his waist.He sat on the edge of the bed without looking up, and said calmly: "We don't need to talk nonsense anymore. The soul lamp is too dangerous, and I won't let you take it away. I'll just stay here for one night, and come back to Xiangtuo Mountain with me tomorrow."

She turned her head almost fiercely: "I won't go back."

"Zuo Zichen has already left Xiangtuo Mountain, and Xuanzhu is also chasing after him, and he probably won't come back in the future. You don't have to worry about someone recognizing you."

"Why do you have to force me to go back?"

Could it be that just because he is Young Master Qi, he loves her and drew her a picture of "Jingyan Palace", she will be grateful, and from then on, he will obey you?
"Because I don't want you to use the soul lamp, and I don't want you to be alone. I want you to have a better life."

"Then you might as well tell me to die."

He took a breath, his eyes darkened.

"Is there really no room for redemption?"

Qin Chuan smiled coldly: "How to redeem it? What redeemed it? Tell Dayan Kingdom to come back?!"

Fu Jiuyun was silent.

"Chuan'er..." He suddenly said again, "I know what you want to do with the soul lamp. However, there are indeed some things in the world that are worth fighting for. There is always a new one waiting for him. But no matter what it is, it is not worth dying and suffering endless pain."

She didn't speak, like a wounded little animal, sullenly refusing to raise her head.

"I won't tell you to forget your hatred, but I think you can have less worries if you follow me. Some happiness is short and superficial, but you deserve it. It doesn't matter if you don't love me, anyway, it's all voluntary. The soul lamp... I can't give it to you, I will seal it up. If you want to hate, you might as well hate me. I don't need you to travel thousands of miles. You see, I am right in front of you. If you kill me, you can kill it with one knife. , very simple.

"Chuan'er, I will accompany you, whatever you want, I will accompany you. It's just impossible for the soul lamp."

She raised her head suddenly, her eyes really looked like she was going to kill someone, Fu Jiuyun accepted it calmly, and did not dodge at all.Her eyes gradually softened, and she had exhausted all her strength and courage. She closed her eyes tightly, and big tears fell down.He reached out to take it, but her hand was held down by her and pressed against his face.His hands are warm and gentle, and once he gets close, he doesn't want to leave.She hated being so weak, but she couldn't help it.

Fu Jiuyun sat beside her, covered her shoulders with blood-stained long sleeves, pressed her head against her chest, and the lapel was soon wet.I don't know how long it took, but it was so long that Fu Jiuyun thought she was asleep, and was about to lie down and sleep with her, when she suddenly heard her whispering in a nasal voice: "... the poison, has it been cured?"

It was only then that he realized that she was asking about the poison of meeting each other, and his heart was a little sour, but she remembered it.

"That bit of poison won't kill me, my lord." He said in a relaxed tone, as a joke.

Qin Chuan raised his face, his eyes were red and swollen, but there were no tears anymore.She hesitated for a moment, turned her head and said in a low voice, "Then... where's the wound?"

He looked at his shoulder mockingly, the blood was no longer flowing.He came out in a hurry, did not bring any panacea, and the medicine applied did not have much effect, and the wound was swollen.

He said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

She stopped talking again, her eyelashes were still stained with thin drops of water, trembling slightly.Fu Jiuyun's heart also trembled, and he couldn't help but want to touch the butterfly-like lightness with his fingertips.She suddenly said hoarsely, "I have medicine here."

She did carry a lot of good medicine. The Qiankun bag contained more than a cornucopia. There was a small porcelain bottle filled with finger-sized white pills. Fu Jiuyun knew it was the best wound medicine when he smelled it. Open two capsules, apply on the wound, and the wound will heal overnight.

Qin Chuan knelt down in front of him, took off his coat for him, brushed his bare chest with cool fingers, Fu Jiuyun's breathing suddenly became chaotic, and he suddenly held her hand, the heat in his palm almost burned her skin.She lowered her head, with a vague smile on the corner of her lips, with a long-lost mischievousness, she whispered: "You are really full of energy, you have bled so much, what else do you want to do?"

He let go of his hand unwillingly, and laughed like self-deprecating: "...Handle gently, I'm afraid of pain."

As expected, she moved very lightly, touching the wound with her fingertips, like a breeze blowing past, the pain disappeared before she had time to feel it.Fu Jiuyun was a little distracted, hoping that she would not finish painting so quickly, and hoped that she would use more force, such a tickling touch was really itchy.

The moonlight climbed up the window lattice, and the shadows of the two of them were twisted together, there was me in you, and you in me, as if they could never be separated again.There was a kind of silent joy in Qin Chuan's heart, and a kind of helplessness.She said: "Jiu Yun, what do you think a princess of a country should be like? You just need to dress up better, put on a good posture, and show the royal dignity in front of people?"

Fu Jiuyun didn't answer, he seemed to be asleep, his head drooped slightly, his face was shrouded in shadows.

"I never thought about this problem before, and no one told me about it. Later, when the Great Yan was destroyed, my husband and I went back to visit. There, demons are respected everywhere, just because Tianyuan Kingdom believes in the king of demons and ghosts. Those ordinary people Every year, the people of the city pay tribute to human food... Do you know what human food is? It is to treat people as a delicacy and give them to those high-ranking demons. It's ridiculous, isn't it? But it is a living fact.

"After I went back, I kept thinking, I used to be the princess of Dayan, and was admired by thousands of people. What did I do for them? What did I do for them? Do I have the right to be supported by my people like that? ?

"You said, it's not worth it for me to use the soul lamp to dissipate my soul and suffer forever. For Qin Chuan, it's really not worth it. She's just an ordinary girl with no relatives. But before she became Qin Chuan, she was Dayan's concubine first. In Di Ji's heart, this is extremely worthwhile."

After the medicine has been applied, the good wound medicine has a flavor of Xixiansan added in it. As the name suggests, even the gods will fall into a deep sleep without knowing it. wake up.Originally, she planned to use it when Katori Mountain was desperate, but she didn't expect to use it on Fu Jiuyun.

Qin Chuan helped him get dressed, and carefully laid him down on the pillow to sleep. Looking at his peaceful sleeping face, he had a lot to say in his heart.I wanted to tell him that letting the tiger bite him was just a moment of impatience, not to kill him; I also wanted to say that she could really laugh out loud because of him and Cui Ya's lovely people in the days of Xiangtori Mountain.I met him in my dreams several times, and my mood at that time was a long-lost relaxed and happy mood.

She also wanted to say that it was a beautiful and caring promise for him to stay with her.

I still want to say...

There are really too many things to say, but she will be reluctant to say them all.She once thought that after all these years, she would be free when she was damned.But in the last year, she had a good life, so she is satisfied now, at least she didn't leave with resentment.

Qin Chuan gently took the soul lamp out of his arms and put it back into the Qiankun bag.

After changing her clothes, she couldn't help turning her head to look at Fu Jiuyun again, as if reluctant to part.

He placed two little spirit beasts called out from white paper to guard him to avoid any accidents.Qin Chuan took one last look at him, and finally closed the door resolutely.

This time, he really left.

Speaking of leaving, Qin Chuan was a little afraid of being chased by Fu Jiuyun. This person's words were false and true. God knows how he chased him so far from Xiangtuo Mountain to find himself.She walked around the town for three or four days, typed out manuscripts one after another, and made perfect preparations for herself if she was unfortunately caught again.

Three or four days passed, and there was no movement. He was probably so angry that he went to Tianyuan Kingdom to wait for a rabbit.Then Qin Chuan rode a little donkey and headed west at a leisurely pace.When we arrived at the grave of the old man, it was February and March, when the grass grew and warblers were flying, and not only weeds grew on the grave of the old man, but also a field of wild flowers bloomed, which was thriving and lively.

Qin Chuan simply trimmed the weeds on the grave a little bit, and kept those flowers, which must have made Mr. Liu happy.

It took two taels of silver to hire a troupe from the east of the village, add a few jars of good wine, and half a catty of beef.Qin Chuan sat in front of the grave and feasted on the sound of ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, pong, and all the passers-by looked sideways at him.In the end, she is so cheeky now that she sees people talking and talking nonsense, but she learned from her husband. Before he died, he didn't explain anything, he just told him with a smile: "When you come to visit the grave, remember to bring good wine. Beef, it would be better if there is a big show."

Qin Chuan drank four jars of wine without changing his face, without even smelling of alcohol, and the faces of the actors watching the excitement turned pale.It was the first time I saw a live wine barrel, and it was a very beautiful and fragile wine barrel.After eating and drinking enough, she clapped her hands and stood up, bowed to the grave, and said, "Sir, this is the last time I will visit your old man. From now on, grass will grow on the top of the grave, and flowers will bloom at the end of the grave, so I will not be able to open it for you." It’s okay, sir, don’t blame me.”

The troupe's money was settled, and they got on the little donkey and were about to leave when they suddenly heard an exclamation from behind. Looking back, they turned out to be a few round-headed peach demons rushing on their way.When she lived here with her husband before, she went up the mountain to play with them and begged a lot of peaches to eat.

The peach demon here has a gentle temperament and has always treated people very well, but judging from the expressions of the villagers, it seems that they are more frightened, which is strange.In today's world, people and monsters live together. No one will even glance at strange monsters and goblins walking outside in a stately manner. In just a few years, has the world changed?
Qin Chuan rode a little donkey to meet him, and asked with a smile, "Where is brother Taozi going?"

The leader Tao Yao burst into tears when he saw her, and he wanted to pounce on her and hug her: "Xiao Chuan! You are still welcome! These days we are wronged, and the big guys will only scream in fright when they see us, as if they want to eat them. Wronged! Everyone in the world knows that our peaches are the best, and we never eat people!"

Tao Yao was good at everything else, except that she was chatty, and she could talk about one thing over and over again for a long time. Qin Chuan listened to it for more than half an hour before straightening things out.It turned out that the emperor of this small country in the west had no backbone, and he surrendered before the army of Tianyuan Kingdom arrived.And after Tianyuan Kingdom wiped out Dayan, Prime Minister Zuo made great contributions. He was supposed to stay in Dayan and become a high-ranking official, but the people of Dayan hated this traitorous prime minister to the core.In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he asked his order to come here to be a leisurely official, and made the most of the method of honoring the monster.

A few days ago, a post was sent to the caves of the peach demons, inviting them to some kind of "Hundred People Banquet".In the words of the peach demon, it is to invite them to eat people, to show that monsters are different from ordinary people in strength and weakness.Hearing that the monsters with a little bit of reputation in the vicinity had received the post, they were all taken aback, and no one wanted to step into this muddy water, so they simply gave up the cave where they lived for many years and stayed away from this place of right and wrong.

After seeing off the crying Taozi brothers, Qin Chuan couldn't help looking back at the villagers hiding in the dark.Some people are sad, some are sad, some are afraid, and some are resentful.Now that Tianyuan Kingdom has become big, it wants to unify the world and create a land of Central Plains that is respected by demons?
She rode on the little donkey, changed direction and walked slowly.

This is really nowhere to be found, it doesn't take much effort to get here, Prime Minister Zuo is far away in the sky and close at hand, so she doesn't need to waste her footsteps.

She remembered that she was very familiar with Zuo Xiang when she was a child. His eldest son was accompanied by the prince, and the second brother often took her to sneak to Zuo Xiang's house to play with his sons. The two were so worried that if their father found out, they would both be grounded.Unexpectedly, Zuo Xiang kept it a secret for them with a smile. In Qin Chuan's initial impression, Zuo Xiang was a kind and funny uncle.

Later, when I got older, I saw him differently. I vaguely felt that he was very manly, and he was impeccable in what he said and did. I would feel scared when I saw him. After that, the number of times I went to his house gradually decreased.

In the end, he knew that he was treasonous and collaborating with the enemy.She had countless words to question Zuo Zichen and his son, every word was bloody and tearful.But after so many years, the question to ask has long since disappeared, and Dayan has disappeared, so why let others see his bloody wound.The husband doted on her, and when he was studying, he specially wrote the name of the left prime minister and posted it on the wall, so that she would stab her with a knife every day to vent her anger.She didn't pierce it once, because only weak anger can be vented in this way.

After such a long time, Di Ji has also become Qin Chuan. While swaying along with the donkey's pace, she thought, eat as soon as possible after killing Prime Minister Zuo, she was so hungry that she panicked.

On that day, the weather was sunny and sunny, and the singing of warblers was singing. It was rare for Prime Minister Zuo to feel poetic. He invited a few literati and poets to go out for an outing and entertain himself with some poetry.Tan Chuan hid in the barrier made of talisman paper and looked at him carefully. Seeing that he was also showing an old look, with white hair on his temples, he couldn't help but think of Emperor Bao'an.

During the time when the Tianyuan Kingdom raised troops to invade Dayan, Emperor Bao'an almost aged in sight, his hair turned gray within a few months, and he looked like a crooked old man when he died of illness.He has been the emperor for so many years, and he trusted the prime minister too much, treating him as his left and right arms, who would have stabbed him in the heart with his own arm.Both father and daughter are quite naive in this respect.

Probably because he has been living leisurely recently, Xiang Zuo has gained a little weight, and he is quite energetic when he moves, and he is surrounded by monsters with abundant demon power to protect him.Tigers have always fed on demons, and when they saw so many rations dangling in front of their eyes, they roared in excitement.

Qin Chuan patted it on the head, and took out the iron bow from the Qiankun bag.

It took her nearly two years to pull the [-]-jin iron bow, and it goes without saying how much hardship it took.When it was able to be pulled away, even the husband couldn't believe it, so he asked her to take an arrow to shoot the birds in the sky. She shot an eagle, and the arrow pierced it. She didn't blush or breathe, and the husband almost fainted in admiration. .

Take an iron arrow and open an iron bow.Qin Chuan's hand was as steady as a rock, aiming at Prime Minister Zuo's heart, pulling the iron bow like a full moon.

With a bang, the iron arrow cut through the sky like a shooting star, and pierced deeply into Zuo Xiang's heart. He was even pushed back several steps by the force, and fell to the ground to look at the iron arrow that sank into his chest in disbelief.Because the piercing was too deep, even blood came out slowly drop by drop, staining a small patch of red on the chest.

The tiger couldn't wait to rush up, swallowed the four unresponsive monsters one by one, hiccupped in satisfaction, and rolled happily on the ground several times before returning.

Qin Chuan threw out a handful of blank paper, and instantly transformed into countless monsters with strange shapes, trying to chase after those frightened literati and poets.For a while, some fled away, and some fainted from fright, and then she showed up boldly and walked to Zuo Xiang's side.He was not dead yet, he opened his mouth wide, made a gurgling sound with difficulty in his throat, and stared at her in horror.

Qin Chuan squatted down, looked at him quietly, and said in a low voice, "Do you still recognize me?"

He didn't answer, probably because he was too surprised, and the look in his eyes changed, like he couldn't believe it, like extremely fear, like endless despair.

"I originally thought that I killed you to avenge my father, queen mother, and my brothers. But now I need to add another one." She grabbed the iron arrow and pulled it out, blood sprayed Lao Gao with a puff.Zuo Xiang trembled slightly, and made intermittent voices: "Emperor...Diji...you are not dead...you are all...burned to death..."

She nodded: "I'm not dead, I'm living to collect debts from you for the people of Dayan, and I will pay with blood."

His face changed, and he opened his mouth to bite off the base of his tongue, so as to avoid the pain of slowly waiting for the blood in his body to dry up.

Qin Chuan said lightly: "Don't think that death is a one-and-done thing. There are no such simple things in the world. The way of heaven is kind, and there is reincarnation. I am not so kind."

She suddenly took out a talisman and pressed it on top of his head, whispering: "You are the first ray of human soul."

The undeparted soul was drawn out by the talisman paper, the soul lamp was stained with Zuo Xiang's blood, and the lid on the top snapped open with excitement.A wick that had sucked the soul lighted up slightly, revealing a layer of very faint blue flame.If the soul lamp is not extinguished, the soul that lights the lamp will suffer life after life, old traitor, this fate is very suitable for him.

Qin Chuan held the cluster of candles that were so fragile that they seemed to be extinguished by blowing on them, and said in a low voice, "You owe the people of Great Swallow, and you have to pay it back." She closed the lid, turned around and left.The fierce tiger was very jealous of the lit soul lamp, and no longer dared to get within three feet, and followed far behind.

At that time, Prime Minister Zuo's killing caused a great uproar, and even alarmed the royal family of Tianyuan Kingdom. His body was secretly transported to Gaodu, the capital of Tianyuan.The national teacher only glanced at it, and said: "The soul has been taken away, and those who do it must know the magic of immortality."

Since then, Gaodu has set up checkpoints in front of the eight city gates, prohibiting all immortal cultivators from entering and leaving, which made some immortal cultivators around them dare not speak out.

During that time, Qin Chuan stayed in an inn in a small town of Dayan, eating three bowls of big meat noodles every meal, so that the proprietress, who had never seen the world much, couldn't help but want to go to her mediocre place every time she gave her noodles. Take a good look at the belly.Three months have passed, and she has gained a lot of weight. It is true that her waist is still graceful and her posture is still beautiful, but the graceful and slender, the lightness that can go with the wind is gone forever.

Using white paper to make a human face, Qin Chuan looked around in the mirror and was very satisfied with his new image.Neither ugly nor beautiful, with a round face and round eyes, with a delicate and innocent taste.Even if Fu Jiuyun, Zuo Zichen, Xuanzhu and the others were sticking to her face and looking hard into their eyes, they probably wouldn't be able to recognize that the girl who was on the brink of plumpness was Qin Chuan.

In another month, the checkpoints in Gaodu were removed one by one under the pressure of the immortal cultivators.On a certain day in a certain month, a simple-minded girl came to Gaodu by boat. In broad daylight, she entered through the gate of the city openly, and no one took a second look.
