Three thousand crows kill

Chapter 24 Hearing the sound of flowers blooming

It started to rain again that day, pattering, from morning till night.The bamboo forest outside the window was misty and misty, with crystal water droplets falling down the bamboo leaves.

It has been three years since the Soul Lamp was lit.Affected by divine power, it rains a lot more than usual.

The rain is not heavy, mostly misty, and the hair is dyed wet like a cow's hair.

The wooden window was half opened, and a bed was placed under the window. Qin Chuan was lying on it, covered with four quilts, still shivering from the cold, his face was so thin that it sunken in, and there was no trace of blood on his lips.

Mr. Meishan sat by the window, with three fingers resting on her thin wrist, his brows were furrowed tightly.

"Is it cold? Then close the window."

After getting the pulse this time, he didn't say anything about the curse of the national teacher, and got up to close the wooden window for her.

"Don't... I want to look outside."

Qin Chuan coughed a few times, and a stream of blood flowed down the corner of his lips.Now she is not in such unbearable pain as when the incantation just happened a few years ago, it seems that she can't even feel the pain, but she is so thin that she can hold her breath and die at any time.

Mr. Meishan thought about it and was in a dilemma. He racked his brains and didn't know what to say to her.In the past three years, he visited all the fairy mountains and blessed places in the Central Plains, and carefully asked all the friendly immortals one by one, but none of them could solve the curse of the 24-hole demon in Nanman.Di Ji was so pitifully tortured by this terrible spell. If she hadn't had an obsession, she would have died two years ago.

"Uncle." She called him suddenly, "Is that green bamboo with the engraved characters still there? I've been looking at it all morning, but I just can't see it clearly."

Her eyes could no longer see anything but what was right in front of her.

With a sore nose, he said in a low voice: "Don't worry, this is the blessed land of the fairy family, and the bamboo forest will not be drowned by the rain."

"Then... is the flute still in my hand?"

Her sense of touch was also about to disappear, and she couldn't feel it at all even though she was holding the flute so tightly.

"Yes, you hold it well."

Qin Chuan finally closed his eyes reassuringly, his breath gradually sank, and his breathing seemed to be very laborious.Mr. Meishan thought she was asleep, so he tucked in the quilt for her, got up and was about to leave, when she suddenly heard her whisper: "Uncle, if one day the soul lamp is extinguished and Jiuyun can reincarnate, you can tell him for me, I will Waiting for him beside the Naihe Bridge. If he doesn’t come, I will never drink the Wangchuan water, let alone go into reincarnation.”

Mr. Meishan was so shocked that he couldn't speak a word, but his nose was as red as a carrot, and he covered his face like a little wife and ran out, knocking down many flowers and plants.Qin Chuan wanted to laugh, but the next moment he felt endless sleepiness hit him, and he passed out in an instant, and he didn't know anything about human affairs anymore.

She didn't know how long she had slept this time, she had slept in the nameless darkness before, and there would always be an hour to wake up.Now she has been sleeping and sleeping, and she can't wake up.

In the haze, it seemed as if someone was talking on the bedside, a very strange male voice, condensed and proud.

"...I didn't come to find someone until now. If I don't die, I will be killed by you, a worthless fairy."

Mr. Meishan seemed to be holding a lot of resentment, but he couldn't get it out, so his voice was weird and awkward: "Don't talk about these things! In a word, can you save me?"

The man thought for a moment, then slowly said with a malicious smile: "That's fine. I'll save her, on the condition that you don't go to harass Xin Mei again."

After not hearing Meishan Jun's answer for a long time, Qin Chuan tried to prick up his ears in the dark, unexpectedly someone held the back of her head and stuffed a cold and fragrant pill into her mouth.Her mouth, tongue and throat were already stiff and she couldn't swallow, so the man used his fingertips to help her swallow the pills.

That finger slid down her throat with hot air, and the pill was scalded in her throat, and the strong aroma filled her limbs and bones, washing her decayed and dry body like a sweet spring, and the long-lost energy began to brew, and she only felt The body gradually became lighter, as if it was about to rise into the sky.

"This pill is unbearable for mortals. Now that she is cursed, it is a different matter. In the future, she will have to adjust her immortal power and practice carefully. If you take advantage of it, you will receive a beautiful disciple for nothing!"

The man's hand pressed heavily on his chest, and Qin Chuan couldn't help but let out an ah, and quickly opened his eyes.His vision was still a little blurry, but he vaguely saw that person with a slender figure, grabbed a handful of densely packed silver needles from her chest, the roots were bloody, turned around and went out with Meishan Jun.

"The magic tool has been taken out, I didn't expect it to be so vicious..."

The voice of the voice gradually faded away, Qin Chuan blinked vigorously, but still couldn't see anything clearly.I wanted to get up, but suddenly I felt very tired again, and every finger was so soft that it was crispy.The sweet darkness struck again, and this was the first time in three years that Qin Chuan willingly fell into sleep, sleeping very soundly.

Until she woke up for a while, no matter how she asked, Meishan Jun would bite his mouth to death and just didn't say who saved her, as if he had so much resentment towards that person, his face would turn green when he mentioned it.

Qin Chuan was always smart, and after observing his words and demeanor for a while, he could see who that person was.One day, I specially brought a good wine to Meishan Jun Bingzhu for a night talk. It was nothing more than a cliché, and when he was half drunk, he pretended to be casual and said: "I thought and thought, maybe the uncle put down his body to ask The war ghost? I still hate him as an uncle."

Mr. Meishan's face turned red and turned pale, and he burst into tears while holding a wine glass the size of a bucket, beating his chest and stamping his feet: "Damn Fu Jiuyun! I will settle this account with you when you wake up! In order to save your woman, I will Even rivals in love are begging! Where do you put your old face!"

Qin Chuan hurriedly scooped up another bucket of wine from the wine tank and filled it up for him, smiling repeatedly: "Thank you uncle for saving my life, so you found that war ghost. Did you agree to any conditions?"

Jun Meishan burst into tears and sighed, no matter how much she asked, he refused to say any more.

Qin Chuan had no choice but to coax him: "Master, don't worry, now that the spell has been unlocked, I can walk around. You tell me where Xiaomei is, and I'll go find her, say good things for you, and keep her happy. , come to Meishan residence to accompany you."

He shed two tears and looked at her with glowing eyes: "...Really?"

"It's real gold."

"But but... she always follows that war ghost..."

"I'm not afraid of Zhan Gui. Besides, I'm a woman, and he can't do anything to me."

"That... that's so embarrassing..." Meishan Jun was very happy, and he still put on a reserved look. After walking for a long time, he said, "She is in the area of ​​Wanlan Mountain...there is a kind of spring mash. The wine tastes very good."

Qin Chuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Just don't worry, I'll buy you a ten-cylinder and eight-cylinder one."

Mr. Meishan really swept away the previous decadence, his face was about to shine, he scratched his ears and cheeks, obviously overjoyed and didn't know what to do, while grabbing her hand, he forced a serious expression: "Now that you have eaten the elixir, then Things that mortals can't bear, nine out of ten will explode and die. Fortunately, you are affected by the curse, and your body will not explode, but the fairy power is gathered in the body, and it will not be good in the future if you don't rely on the power of practice to dissipate it. Uncle Master sees that you are so sincere, so I will pass on a set of cultivation methods to you, and practice hard on your own! You are indeed destined to be immortal, so I said, how could the predetermined fate be changed so outrageously... ..."

"What fate?" Qin Chuan was at a loss.

"No...it's nothing!" Meishan Jun regretted his slip of the tongue, people really can't drink too much, and everything that should be said and should not be said will be poured out, "I'm just teaching my heart, listen carefully!"

Besides, he has been an immortal for hundreds of years, and he and his generation of immortal disciples and grandchildren have spread out so many branches and leaves, but he has always lived alone in Meishan Residence, with no one else except spirit ghosts.In the past, he vaguely took in a few apprentices, but he really didn't have the appearance of being a teacher. He taught his disciples to fish for three days and hang the net for two days, completely misleading his disciples.

If it wasn't for Qin Chuan's cleverness this time, and eating the elixir in a crooked way to save her power, she might not be able to practice anything after teaching for 200 years.

Seeing how many times he said the mental method, Qin Chuan was able to meditate quickly and transform his immortal power, and Mr. Meishan couldn't help but be overjoyed.Thinking of her success in cultivation, she would go to the imperial mausoleum to bring Xiaomei out, and there were dozens of tanks of fine wine with Xiaomei. Asking the war ghost to save Qin Chuan is simply the most wise thing he has ever done in his life.

Two years passed in a hurry, and five years had passed since the self-soul lamp was lit.

Qin Chuan made a special trip to the Emperor's Mausoleum in Wanlan Mountain after she had achieved success in practicing her mind. She really wanted to do something for Lord Meishan in return.He was in love with Xinmei but failed, and he babbled all day long, which was pitiful to watch.

Unexpectedly, when they went to the imperial tomb, they found out that Xin Mei and Zhan Gui were already married couples, or that the marriage was bestowed by the emperor of Qiong Kingdom himself.People are husband and wife, husband and wife!He never said it!What kind of fairy is a fairy who thinks about other people's wives all day long?She almost helped him do the bad thing of breaking up the couple.No wonder the war ghost came directly to the door, so murderous, whose wife would not want to kill someone if his wife was kidnapped?He didn't dismantle Mr. Meishan, so he was being polite to that war ghost.

After she came back, Mr. Meishan beat his chest and cried bitterly again, that was helpless.

But when the soul lamp is lit, there will be no more monsters in the world, and the number of people who come to Mr. Meishan to do business will suddenly decrease, and life will be much easier.When Meishan Jun was sad, he could only eat and drink to relieve his grief. He had gained a lot of weight, and his previous skinny appearance was no longer visible.Qin Chuan felt that if he continued to develop like this, he might become a ball like Baihe Dragon King.

He ate too much lunch that day, so he had to take a walk around the pond to digest his food. Qin Chuan sat by the bamboo forest and played the bamboo flute.She is such a person, talented, elegant and good at singing and dancing, but she can't handle musical instruments well. The sound of the flute is even worse than that of an old raven. : "Stop blowing it... I'm going to spit out my lunch!"

Qin Chuan had no choice but to put away the bamboo flute, thinking about finding a secluded place to practice again, and suddenly saw the spirit ghost guarding the gate hurrying over, saying repeatedly: "Master, master! There are guests, there are guests!"

It's no wonder that the spirit ghost is so excited, Meishan Residence has been too deserted these past few years, and even the flowers and plants are not energetic.

Meishan Jun was overjoyed, he hurriedly changed his clothes, and went to pick up the guests excitedly.

It has been a long time since no one asked him to do business or bring him wine, Meishan Jun was not used to it.Although drinking by yourself is not bad, but less drinking companions are always a fly in the ointment.Di Ji was tortured to death by the curse and was able to drink with him, but after the curse was broken, she quit drinking and just sat in the bamboo forest playing the broken flute all day long, feeling extremely bored.

Today is a rare visitor, so you must drink three hundred cups!Meishan Jun found two small barrel-like wine cups, and asked the spirit ghost to carry three large vats on his back, and greeted him at the door with his eyes shining brightly.But I saw a man and a woman standing in front of the door. The woman was wearing a long blue dress with a gorgeous appearance; clove.

Mei Shanjun yelled, pointed at him and almost jumped up: "You! You are here?! Where have you been all these years? Even I can't find it..."

The visitor was slightly taken aback, and then saluted politely: "I'm Zuo Zichen, this is Senior Sister Qingqing. It's my first visit to Meishanju today, and I have never met the immortal before. Did the immortal deny the wrong person?"

Mr. Meishan was stunned.

"You are Zuo Zichen, the son of the former Prime Minister of the Great Yan Kingdom?" While drinking, Meishan Jun carefully sized him up, and the more he looked, the more he looked like him, but why did he become a stranger?
"The eyes of an immortal are like torches, and I really can't hide my origin from you."

Zuo Zichen also drank in a gentle manner, not in a hurry or impatient, but it seemed that Meishan Jun, who was drinking from a giant wine glass, had become an old cow to quench his thirst.Qingqing wanted to interject at the side, but Meishan Jun didn't even look at her at all. A hot face can never be attached to a cold butt, so she could only turn her head to look at the scenery sullenly.

"...Forget it, what are you asking for when you come to visit today?" Jun Meishan suddenly had an ingenious plan, turned around and whispered instructions to the spirit ghosts, so-and-so, and so-and-so.While the spirit ghost was looking for someone in the bamboo forest, he turned around and filled Zuo Zichen's glass again, and added: "If you have something to ask me, you must beat me in terms of drinking capacity before talking."

Zuo Zichen couldn't help but laugh: "The immortal misunderstood, I didn't come here today to ask for anything, but I was entrusted by the teacher to give you something."

As he spoke, he took out a brocade box from his bosom, and pushed it respectfully to his hand.Inside the brocade box was a silk invitation card, made in the shape of a handkerchief, with a small amethyst snake hanging underneath, very delicate.

It turned out that Xiangtori Mountain mainly held a fairy flower and fairy wine conference, and invited all the immortals to visit his house.This fairy old man, relying on the incense to get the mountains to be rich and beautiful, will show off all day long, and he has become more and more powerful recently.

"In addition, Master has something else I would like to ask the Immortal. The Immortal and Fu Jiuyun are good friends. Have you seen him recently? The Lord of the Mountain misses this great disciple very much."

Meishan Jun frowned. Fu Jiuyun's identity was never known to outsiders. After the soul lamp was lit and dissipated, mortals had completely forgotten him, but the immortals remembered it. I don't know who asked Fu Jiuyun for the first time. whereabouts.The immortals all thought that the soul lamp was stolen and lit by Fu Jiuyun. If this kind of top-notch gossip was not used to make a fuss, it would be nothing but an idle immortal.

"I don't know about this, and I haven't seen him for a long time. Why, the mountain master is still reciting the soul lamp? The lamp has already been lit, and it is useless to recite it, and it is even more useless to find someone to blame. It's better to look at him Do you have the ability to extinguish the soul lamp, wipe it clean and continue to collect it, anyway, no one will snatch it from him."

Zuo Zichen smiled: "Immortals are joking, the soul lamp is a thing of gods, how can mortal immortals have the means to extinguish it?"

Mr. Meishan moved his lips and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Qin Chuan's voice from outside the door curtain: "Master, what do you want from me?" After saying that, the bead curtain was lifted, and she had already walked in.

Seeing Zuo Zichen, Qin Chuan froze obviously, and called out: "Zichen? Where have you been all these years? Xuanzhu..."

Zuo Zichen didn't know who the other party was. Seeing that it was a young and beautiful girl, he calmly stood up and saluted, and said with a smile, "I'm Zuo Zichen. Miss...are you denying the wrong person? I don't know the girl before."

Qin Chuan froze for a moment.

He... Could it be that his memory was sealed again?
Qingqing coughed suddenly, and pushed her lightly: "Girl, take a step to talk."

She pulled Qin Chuan out of the door with a serious expression: "I think the girl and Zichen should be old acquaintances, and there are some things you may not know. I hope you don't mention the word 'Xuanzhu' in front of him. Back then he When I returned to Xiangtuo Mountain, I begged the owner of the mountain to erase his memory, and now I can’t remember anything. If you always mention Xuanzhu and remind him of something, wouldn’t it make him suffer?”

Erase...memories.Qin Chuan stared blankly at Zuo Zichen, his expression was serene, without the bitterness he had before.It turned out that he forgot again, but this time it was his own will.

"What happened when Zichen went down the mountain? Can the girl know? Please tell me... Is something wrong with Xuanzhu? She and another disciple named Fu Jiuyun have not returned. If the girl knows the reason, it's okay Solve our doubts, don't let the two of them take the blame for stealing treasures for nothing."

Qin Chuan slowly closed his eyes, and after a long time, he whispered: "I...don't know either. Forget it, it's good that he forgot. Sorry, I lost my composure just now."

She walked back into the house and heard Zuo Zichen talking softly to Mr. Meishan in her ears, feeling extremely complicated in her heart.

It was Xuanzhu who lit the soul lamp that day, I don't know what entanglement the two of them had, maybe it was an unbearable experience, it's better to forget it.No one has the right to blame him for choosing to forget, after all, every heart is different.When he forgot everything, he lived happily and simply, why not continue?The truth is often not very beautiful.

She looked at Mr. Meishan: "What can Master Master want from me?"

Mr. Meishan racked his brains to come up with a reason: "Uh, it's like this... The Lord of Katori Mountain asked me to participate in the Immortal Flower Immortal Wine Conference. Would you like to join me? It's good to see the excitement."

He originally thought that Zuo Zichen was putting on airs, so he wanted to call out Qin Chuan to show him off, but who knew that he really forgot, and now that the situation is so uneven, it's so embarrassing.

Qin Chuan knew what he was thinking by looking at his face, so he couldn't help being amused, seeing that Zuo Zichen didn't drink much and Mr. Meishan didn't drink very much, so he simply sat down and drank with him.After drinking until sunset, Zuo Zichen asked to resign several times before the two of them sent him out of the door.

Zuo Zichen called out the spirit bird, saluted and left with a hint of drunkenness.Seeing his serene demeanor, Qin Chuan couldn't help but whisper, "Zichen, how are you doing now?"

He smiled slightly: "Why do you ask this, girl? It's naturally a joy to practice with the teacher and talk and laugh with fellow students every day."

She nodded slowly: "...that's right, then... goodbye."

After Zuo Zichen left, Qin Chuan was a little absent-minded, and felt that living in Meishan was boring, so he simply borrowed Meishan Jun's ox cart to go out and relax.

As the divine power of the soul lamp is becoming stronger and stronger, it also has a considerable impact on the great fairy mountains and blessed places.In order to prevent the fairy flower spirits and grass spirits that were finally born in their own fairy mountains from being hooked away by the soul lamp, many powerful immortals have set up enchantments, self-produced and sold, self-sufficient, and the distance between mortals and immortals is getting closer and closer. Far.

There are no more demons in this world, and immortals also avoid the world, and it has truly become the world of mortals since then.The Tianyuan Kingdom continued to fight in all directions, and what it drove was no longer an army of demons.It is heard that the second prince Ting Yuan used his troops like a god, fought fiercely for several years, and almost never lost a battle.

Maybe Tianyuan really wants to unify the Central Plains, Mr. Meishan is right, the disputes between countries will never stop, as long as there are people, disputes are inevitable.The general trend of the world, the long-term division must be united, and the long-term unity must be divided.The countries in the eight directions of the Central Plains have always been in constant wars, and maybe now it is time to unite.

The people of Dayan, whom her heart cares about, no longer suffer from demons. After being included in Tianyuan territory, the royal family implemented a benevolent government and exempted them from tax for three years.The mournful cries finally stopped.

There is nothing else in the world that she can worry about, except Fu Jiuyun.

When will he come back?

Not long after, Meishan Jun suddenly sent Ling Qin to send her a letter.

"A year ago, the second prince of Tianyuan sent the soul lamp back. His wife, Princess Hu, known as the 'God's Eye', had already extinguished the soul lamp. The second prince said, "You have favored him, and promised not to drive demons within 300 years after the lamp goes out." , Qing can rest assured. Come back quickly! Also, don’t forget to buy some fine wine.”

The letter fluttered and slid to the ground, and Qin Chuan turned around in the bullock cart and rushed to Meishanju Yufeng Tengyun, and it only took half a day to get there.

Meishan Jun was drinking alone, seeing her falling from the sky, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"Is Jiuyun back?" She rushed into the door and asked only this at first.

Mei Shanjun looked a little unnatural: "How could it be so fast!"

Qin Chuan let out a long breath, his feet were limp, and he was paralyzed on the ground, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.She thought she would see him soon.

Meishan Jun's eyes flickered, and he said secretly: "Don't worry, you should see you soon. Be patient! By the way, tomorrow is the Immortal Flower Immortal Wine Conference, so you can go with me Katori Mountain. Those gods can't drink, it's so boring, you have to drink with me!"

Qin Chuan had no choice but to agree.To tell the truth, she owed the uncle a lot, and he couldn't refuse her to drink with her anyway. Even if it was the Katori Mountain, which she didn't want to go the most, she had to go there for the sake of the uncle.

The next day, the two drove an ox cart and flew to Mount Katori proudly.

The owner of the mountain is a demon who became a fairy, and his status is slightly lower than that of Meishan Jun who practiced as a human being. Even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he still has to bow to him with a smile on his face when he sees Meishan Jun.

The mountain master has a lot of friends, and nine out of ten of the immortals present here are demons. Meishan Jun sits proudly on a high place, barely talking to them, and only drinks with Qin Chuan cup by cup.

The White River Dragon King came to be a guest that day, and the fine wine he presented was called "Meeting Henwan".Meishanjun drank it happily, and later he forgot about the reserve of a fairy. He hugged the sleeve of the mountain owner and wriggled like a twist, wanting to buy a few tanks of it to drink at home.

Qin Chuan really couldn't stand his appearance, so he pulled his sleeves and reminded: "Uncle, image!"

Meishan Jun smelled of alcohol, his face was flushed, he looked back at her and smiled, and suddenly said: "You have stayed here before, right? Why don't you go out and walk around? Maybe you can meet someone."

She couldn't help being stunned.

"What a stupid boy... There is someone who is even more stupid than you. Oh, oh, look, you two are always trying to embarrass me... It's really hard to be a good person! You've been out these days, and you've been too busy for me. It takes a lot of effort to grow a newborn baby into an adult in a short period of time! Even in a place like Katori Mountain where the world is full of spiritual energy, it is very troublesome..."

He spoke in a mess, vaguely, as if he had a carrot in his mouth.

Qin Chuan couldn't hear anything clearly, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Master, what are you talking about? Speak slowly, I can't hear clearly at all!"

He waved his hand: "I tell you to go out for a walk, I want to taste this fine wine alone!"

She really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in this person's gourd, so she got up and left the Tongming Hall.

She is so familiar with Xatori Mountain that she couldn't be more familiar with it. After leaving the Tongming Hall and walking eastward, there is a water area where the willows on the shore were originally spirits. After the soul lamp was lit, the willow spirits became real willows. Can't speak.Now the soul lamp is extinguished, and the souls that have been hooked can't come back. The willow trees only give birth to a little spirituality, dancing without wind.

Walking through the waters, I counted those beautiful and exquisite palaces to four, which are the courtyards where Fu Jiuyun once lived.

Qin Chuan stood in front of the door for a long time, but the door was unlocked, and most of the buildings in Katori Mountain were unlocked.Pushing open the door and entering, looking at the familiar house, Qin Chuan couldn't help but think of some joys of living here, and couldn't help but smile.

The pool in the backyard is still there, and there are still small fish swimming in it.In this place, she deliberately washed Fu Jiuyun's clothes to pieces and hung them all over the backyard, making him turn blue with anger.There are rooms on both sides of the corridor, and she once used the excuse of cleaning to smash the vases and utensils on the cabinet.

The bed board in the bedroom can still be pulled out. When she was his personal maid, she often pulled out the bed board to sleep, and often endured his sudden troubles in the middle of the night, such as asking her to boil water, pour tea, add incense and quilts and other trivial matters.

The starling under the window was actually still alive, and when he saw her, he started to yell, "Bastard! Liar! Liar!"

Qin Chuan grabbed a handful of millet and dangled it in front of it, luring it: "Hey, I'll give you some food after calling me a good girl, or you'll starve to death! Who's a liar?"

A familiar sneer suddenly came from behind her, and with a flick of her wrist, she sprinkled millet all over the table.Before she could turn around in time, someone hugged her tightly from behind, and sprayed warm breath on the ear pinna.

His voice is mellow and soft, so familiar, so ironic:

"I'm late, are you blaming me?"

Just like the day the two met for the first time in Mount Katori.

He was indifferent and smiled faintly.

She is already crazy.
