(2-in-1)

According to the old man's instructions, everyone inserted into the path, although the road was narrow, but it was indeed feasible. Even if the grass path is covered with snow, it is still non-slippery, which is much better than the mud of the official road. Half an hour later, everyone returned to the official road, several villages in front, the official road crossed a river, and the word "Twenty-mile Bridge" was written on the stone tablet at the head of the bridge. Presumably, this is the place where the old man met Bai Bing's master and apprentice.

But after such a long time, Bai Bing's master and apprentice may already be ten miles away, but they still can't stop and catch up. The problem is that the sky has gradually darkened. After the heavy snowfall, the sky was overcast, and it was the cold winter season, and the light was very short, and it was about to get dark.

Everyone thought that they might not be able to catch up with the two before dark, but Lin Jue told them that it was a good time to catch up after dark. Because as soon as it gets dark, the master and apprentice will not be able to hurry, and they will have to rest. This is a good opportunity to catch up.

The crowd felt justified, so they gritted their teeth and marched forward. Soon after, it was completely dark, and it would not have been possible to see the road at all if it weren't for the reflection of the light on the ground after the heavy snowfall. As he went, the horses of the two guards slipped under the ridge beside the roadside, one of the guards broke his arm, and the other of the guards' horses got stuck in the snow and could not get up.

Everyone worked together to get the guards and horses up, and Lin Jue also realized that he really couldn't hurry anymore, and it was really dangerous to rush like this. In the faint light, there are the same places everywhere, and it is impossible to distinguish the direction of the official road, which will cause unnecessary casualties. So a few people discussed, looking for a place to rest and spend the night, and it was not too late to get up and hurry tomorrow when the sky was light.

It's a pity that the villages that have already crossed the Twenty Mile Bridge are wilderness and snowfields on the left and right, and there seems to be no place to stay overnight. After tossing forward for more than a mile, suddenly on the high ground on the side of the road ahead, a tower-shaped building stood in the darkness against the dim skylight. Below it was black and appeared to be a house.

The crowd was overjoyed, and hurriedly trekked towards the high place, and when they got closer, they saw clearly that it was a temple. This kind of temple can be seen everywhere in the mountains and wilderness of Dazhou, and there are many deserted ones, this one looks dilapidated, it should be a broken temple.

At this time, even if it is a broken temple, it is more happy than Huayu High House. The crowd came to the gate of the temple's courtyard, which was tattered and slanted in the snow on both sides. Everyone didn't care about this, Liang Qi raised his feet and walked inside, and suddenly Lin Jue grabbed him.

"Wait." Lin Jue said in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Liang Qi asked.

"Silence." Lin Jue's voice was like a mosquito, and he stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "Someone is inside." ”

Everyone looked in amazement, and sure enough, in the dog hole under the temple gate, there seemed to be a red glimmer jumping, and there seemed to be a bonfire burning in the temple. At this distance, the hole is so small that if you don't look closely, you won't notice it at all. But after Lin Jue pointed it out, the glimmer of this cave mouth immediately became extremely eye-catching.

At this time, in this kind of place, some people stay in the ruined temple at night, and Lin Jue will naturally think that this is Bai Bing's master and apprentice who have settled here. At that moment, Lin Jue gestured and ordered the others to pull the horses and quietly stay away and retreat. He tiptoed into the courtyard with Liang Qi, and slowly approached the mountain gate of the broken temple.

The temple door was hidden, and from a crooked angle, it was obvious that a straw curtain was hung to shield it from the light and the cold wind outside. You can't see anything from the outside. It was impossible for Lin Jue to lie in the snow and look in from the dog hole. When he was hesitating, Liang Qi pointed in the direction of the side head. Lin Jue understood. The two of them circled along the wall of the broken temple to the east, and came to the bottom of the pagoda behind the broken temple. In this direction, half of the back wall of the ruined temple collapsed, blocked with branches and weeds, and the two gently removed several branches, and saw the back of the Buddha statue inside from the hole. With the shield of this Buddha statue, the two of them dared to climb in gently.

When the two of them looked out through the small hole in the broken Buddha statue's body, the situation in the small temple was clear.

The pillars of the temple collapsed and were in disarray. In the corner of the side, a bonfire is lit. A woman in white was sitting curled up against a wall, her head bowed, not knowing what to think. On the other side, a white-haired woman was frowning and staring at the woman in white, looking very annoyed. Although Lin Jue didn't see the appearance of the woman in white, looking at the figure, there was no doubt that it must be Bai Bing. Looking at Bai Bing's pitiful appearance with his arms crossed, Lin Jue felt pity in his heart.

"Humph! Are you still thinking about that man? What are you doing with your face crying all this way? When you return to Mobei in the future, do you plan to cry like this for the rest of your life? The old woman suddenly scolded.

"Master, I didn't cry with a sad face, I have promised the master to go back to Mobei with you, why should the master say such things." Bai Bing looked up and shouted.

"Humph! What's the use of your people walking away with me, but your heart not going with me? You're going to sneak back when you get the chance, aren't you? What's so good about men? Well? Don't you know what happened to the master? Men all over the world are unfortunate people, they all want to take advantage of you, but when they need him to take responsibility, they hurt you, why don't you listen to me? That's the master's pain to the bones, my magic sound gate was destroyed in the hands of a stinky man, don't you know? Bai Yushuang scolded angrily.

"Master, what happened back then was indeed that you were unladylike, but you can't be beaten to death with a stick. There is still a ...... in the world There are good men. Master, you ......"

"Shut up! I kind of get it, you're crazy. I was poisoned by the man surnamed Lin. It seems that I can't just leave the capital, I need to do something to make it happen. Bai Yushuang gritted her teeth and said coldly.

Bai Bing's body trembled, and he hurriedly shouted, "Master, what are you going to do?" You promised Bing'er that as long as I go back to Mobei with you, you won't hurt others, you can't be untrustworthy. ”

"Humph! I promised you, but you will never forget the surname Lin, and you will still worry about him in the future. In that case, how can I leave it alone. I want you to inherit the martial arts and mantle of the Demon Sound Gate, and I will continue to avenge my Demon Sound Gate in the future. If you think about men every day, how can you do these things? I'm going to kill the man surnamed Lin, and when you see his head, you're going to die of this heart. Bai Yushuang said coldly.

Lin Jue, who was behind the Buddha statue, subconsciously touched his neck and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Master, you can't do that. Lin Gongzi is innocent, and he doesn't know that I like him. Ask the master to be merciful, don't do this. Bai Bing exclaimed in fright.

"Bing'er, listen, no one can stop me, including you. I promised my master to inherit the mantle of the Demon Sound Gate and avenge the death of my fellow disciples. For 40 years, I have kept my promise and have not broken it for a moment. But you have deceived me and turned your back on me, and I must force you back to the right path. Don't blame me, I'm for your own good, and for revenge. The one surnamed Lin must die. Bai Yushuang said coldly.

"Master, you have killed hundreds of enemies who destroyed my Demon Sound Sect back then, so you should stop it. When is the time for retribution, forty years, you live in hatred, do you have to kill everyone to feel at ease? ”

"Shut up! There were more than 300 thieves who surrounded and suppressed my sect that day, and only then did they kill more than 100 people, and the rest had to die. Many thieves died of old age, but they were taught to die a good death. But they died of old age, and their sons and daughters were condemned. It is only right that the father and the son repay the debt. The thieves of these sects and their families must die. I'm going to kill every single one of them. If I had not been late, I would have fallen on you, and you would have spoken such things. You must not forget your oath. ”

"Master...... Why are you so extreme? What's the problem? What have you gained by living in pain and hatred for so many years? It's time for you to abandon your hatred and enjoy your old age in peace. Bing'er was raised by you, and she will never be unfilial to you, and she will definitely serve you well. Master, you can move to the capital to live, watch the drama every day, enjoy the scenery, visit the mountains and rivers, and spend your old age in peace. How good would it be for you and my master to share the happiness of the family? ”

Bai Yushuang sneered and sighed: "Bing'er, it's only been less than half a year, and you've been lost in this world of flowers." You've been brainwashed. You also like men. The master's previous teaching of more than ten years was not as good as the invasion of just a few months. I know, it must be the one surnamed Lin who has confused your brain, so that you have become unrecognizable to your master. I've got to kill him, I've got to kill him. Otherwise you will not be sober. ”

Lin Jue, who was hiding behind the Buddha statue, touched his neck again, and said in his heart: This crazy woman has settled all the accounts on my head. Blame me for everything, kill me anyway and you'll be gone.

Bai Bing begged and shouted: "Master, I am not confused, it is precisely because I saw this clearly that I persuaded you to turn back." ”

Bai Yushuang didn't answer, only beckoned to Bai Bing gently, and said softly: "Bing'er, come here, come to the master." The master doesn't blame you, it's someone else who teaches you bad, you come over. ”

Bai Bing seemed to be very scared, shrunk back and shouted, "No, no, no, master, do you want to restrain me, and then get out and kill Lin Gongzi?" Master, please, I won't pass. Master, if you want to kill Lin Gongzi, I will run away, run away, and teach you to never find me for the rest of your life. ”

"Hmph, the world is so big, where can you escape? I want to find you is not easy tight? Just like this time, you are gone, and I guessed that you went to Yangzhou to find your sister. I went to Yangzhou, killed a few people, and learned that your sister had come to the capital. I came to the capital, and after a casual inquiry, I learned the whereabouts of your sister, and then I found you by touching the vine. Although it took me two months to find you, it wasn't that hard. My enemies, one by one, are like rats, some hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and some change their names and surnames to live in seclusion, so what, I haven't pulled them out one by one? Kill their whole family? Are you better than they dodge? Bai Yushuang sneered.

Bai Bing shouted in despair: "Then you kill me, before you kill Lin Gongzi, please kill me." Otherwise, I will never let you kill Lin Gongzi. ”

"Evil obstacles, can you still control me? Can't you come? But if you don't come, I'll go. Bai Yushuang scolded angrily.

Bai Bing took out the green flute from his arms and shouted in a trembling voice: "Don't come here, master, please." Be kind. ”

"Evil obstacles, do you still want to do it with your teacher?" Bai Yushuang stopped and scolded angrily.

"Bing'er, Bing'er doesn't dare. Bing'er didn't dare to do anything with the master. Bing'er dared to offend the master. Bai Bing exclaimed tremblingly.

"I don't dare. I taught you all that bit of kung fu, and if you do it with me, isn't that looking for death? Bing'er, I will teach you a song for my teacher, and it is also a set of martial arts of my Demon Sound Gate, you have listened to it. Bai Yushuang said.

Bai Bing looked at Bai Yushuang in a daze, I don't know why the master suddenly wants to teach him martial arts? It's a bit incomprehensible.

But seeing Bai Yushuang slowly unwrapping the cloth bag from his back, he took out a pipa wrapped in it with great care. The lute was crimson in color, antique, and looked like it had been used for a long time.

Lin Jue and Liang Qi also wondered when they saw all this, why did this crazy woman suddenly want to play the pipa? Lin Jue frowned, feeling that there must be something strange in this.

Looking at Bai Yushuang again, he hugged the pipa in his chest, adjusted it slowly and methodically, and said in a deep voice: "Bing'er, you listen well, I often played this song to you when you were a child, you must have heard it." Listen carefully and see if you remember? ”

Bai Bing leaned against the wall with the green flute, his face shocked.

Bai Yushuang held the pipa and half-covered her cheeks, her slender fingers like crane claws flicked gently, and a soft sound suddenly filled the dilapidated temple. The next moment, the sound of the song suddenly began and slowly flowed out. The music of the pipa is pure and soothing, and it is pleasant to smell. Listening to the ears, it is like under the sunset, the tired birds return to their nests, the twilight is four, and the flowers are dark. Gradually, in the dead of night, the willows on the moon, the birds murmuring, everything sleeps, and the heavens and the earth are like dreams.

Liang Qi, who was standing next to Lin Jue, didn't really understand the rhythm of music, but for some reason, he felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and his body was warm, almost like he was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, the music in his ears disappeared, and Liang Qi woke up in shock, and found that Lin Juezheng had withdrawn his hand, and two cloth balls had been stuffed in his ears.

Lin Jue gestured to tell Liang Qi that the sound of pipa music was the culprit that made people sleep and confused people's souls. Suitable Liang Qi is on the way. Liang Qi was ashamed, and when he saw Lin Jue stuffing strips of cloth in his ears, he knew that Lin Jue had already taken precautions, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

Lin Jue actually suddenly understood, the Demon Sound Sect uses music as martial arts, and it is naturally full of tricks. That Bai Yushuang was about to restrain Bai Bing so that she could go back to the capital to kill herself, and suddenly she had to teach her martial arts, which was obviously problematic. When Bai Yushuang took off the pipa and played, Lin Jue had already pulled the strip of cloth and stuffed it into his ears to guard against it. When he saw Liang Qi's drowsy appearance, Lin Jue rescued him in time.

Although Lin Jue and Liang Qi had no way, the situation of Bai Bing in the temple was very different. Under the soothing sound of the pipa, Bai Bing's body, which was already haggard, relaxed, and he was already drowsy sitting by the bonfire under the wall.

This song, in fact, is very familiar to her. When I was very young, I had this pipa song in my memory. At that time, he was taken to Mobei by his master and lived in a wilderness valley. Whenever I cried and felt homesick, the master would play this song. And Bai Bing will quickly calm down and fall asleep. Bai Yushuang has never really been a mother, and naturally lacks experience in raising young children, so when Bai Bing cries, she uses this song to make Bai Bing sleep. This pipa song was originally the "Pure Heart Mantra" in the Demon Music Gate, which is an auxiliary practice method, and its effect is to soothe the muscles and spirit, so that people do not have distracting thoughts and calm the heart. In Bai Yushuang's hands, it has become a means of hypnosis.

When Bai Yushuang discovered the hypnotic effect of this song, he devoted himself to studying and correcting it, and for more than ten years, this song has become a means of attack. But the enemy can be unaware. confuse their minds, urge them to sleep, and let others slaughter them. To be precise, this song should no longer be called "Pure Heart Mantra", but "Requiem".

Seeing Bai Bing's drowsy and decadent lying on the ground, Liang Qi gestured to Lin Jue and asked if he wanted to show up to save him. Lin Jue waved his hand gently. Lin Jue saw that Bai Yushuang wanted to restrain Bai Bing, so that he could go back to the capital and kill himself. Her purpose was not to kill Bai Bing, if she killed Bai Bing, she would have a hundred means. Bai Bing is definitely no match for her. If she doesn't restrain Bai Bing, Bai Bing will definitely threaten her life and ruin her plan. Using the music to restrain Bai Bing without harming her is her purpose. When Bai Bing woke up, she was dead and the wood was already in the boat, even if she made trouble, she could only accept this reality.

At the end of the pipa, Bai Yushuang slowly put down the pipa, slowly walked to Bai Bing's side and squatted down. Lin Jue and Liang Qi hurriedly took off the cloth strips in their ears and stretched their necks to listen carefully.

"Hey, Bing'er, why are you doing this? Why do you want to make your teacher unhappy? Don't you know that I am the only one in this world who is truly good to you? There are so many bad people in this world that I can't let you be hurt by them. If you are by my side, the master will protect you well and protect you for a lifetime. In fact, the master didn't want to force you to avenge my Demon Sound Gate. You with a kind heart. You raise baby squirrels and feed them pine nuts, but they are all food. We live in Mobei, and squirrels are the best meat to eat. A lot of the meat you eat is your favorite little squirrel, but you don't know it. It was caught in the mountains for the teacher. You ask what kind of meat it is, I can't bear to let you know the truth, I say it's wild boar, wolf meat. You ate it with relish and said it was delicious...... Ay! If you knew the truth, would you still be able to eat? ”

Bai Yushuang reached out and stroked Bai Bing's hair, and whispered softly.

Lin Jue was speechless, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart. If Bai Bing knew that her favorite little squirrel was the source of meat she consumed every day, she would be going crazy.

“…… When you were a child, you were very obedient, you listened to what the master said, and you did what you were told to do. But how did you suddenly become like this? The world is so chaotic and there are so many bad people, how can the master rest assured that you will come to this world? You are kind and simple at heart, and you are the most willing to be deceived. The Lin Gongzi you are talking about, he already has a wife and concubine, but he still comes to provoke you, which is ill-intentioned. So he had to die. You like him because you are not deeply involved in the world and do not know the sinister nature of the human heart in this world. The master can't let you follow in my footsteps, and he can't let you suffer all the torture in your heart. The master will protect you for the rest of your life and prevent you from being bullied. So the master must take you away. You obediently slept for a while, and when you woke up, the one surnamed Lin was killed by me, and then there was no concern. Our master and apprentice went back to Mobei and lived the old days. By the way, I forgot to tell you one thing, aren't you sad that rhubarb is dead? I found a puppy that looks exactly like Rhubarb, and you will be happy to have him with you when you go back. ”
