thousand words

Such a deal didn't seem to be a problem for Xiao Jinle, and after calming down a little, Xiao Jinle readily agreed.

"Betrayed so quickly, aren't you afraid that someone will retaliate and silence you afterwards?" Baili Mingyan raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully.

Xiao Jinle smiled dejectedly and said, "Baili Mingyan, the kindness of a woman will only make you miss a lot of opportunities."

Baili Mingyan said clearly: "I understand."

Xiao Jinle leaned back and said, "Ask, what do you want to know?"

Baili Mingyan: "If you say it first, you won't worry that I'm just getting the words out of your mouth?"

Xiao Jinle rolled his eyes: "Then I hope you can say it first, can you say it?"

Baili Mingyan: "Of course not."

Xiao Jinle said impatiently: "Then what do you do for your mother-in-law? Don't you think Qian Pavilion Master is annoying?"

Qian Yuhan, who was listening silently at the side, was called suddenly, took a look at Baili Mingyan, spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and shook his head: "I don't think so at all."

Xiao Jinle: "Tsk..."

Baili Mingyan: "..." What's the matter with being a little happy for no reason?

"I advise you to ask quickly before I go back on my word. After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

Qian Yuhan simply said directly: "Be clear first, are you using the sound of the flute to control the people who have been poisoned by Gu?"

Xiao Jinle: "Pavilion Master Qian is so smart, you don't need to ask me for proof of what was confirmed last night."

Qian Yuhan: "Then who was the man in black who played the flute with you last night?"

Xiao Jin said happily, "I don't know."

Qian Yuhan and Baili Mingyan: "..."

Qian Yuhan continued: "Who is the person who played the Gu?"

Xiao Jinle: "It's the man in black who played the flute last night."

Baili Mingyan: "Is there a cure for Gu poison?" He really didn't want to use that method of disregarding human life to violently eliminate Gu.

Xiao Jinle still shook his head: "I don't know."

Baili Mingyan suddenly felt that he had made a loss in this deal.

Qian Yuhan obviously didn't expect that Xiao Jinle, who finally pried his mouth open, would ask three questions. He walked back and forth a few times and scratched his head a little irritably, then turned around and continued to ask: "Then do you know their purpose?"

Xiao Jinle: "I don't know."

Baili Mingyan was also a little sulky, and said directly: "Then what do you know?"

Just when they thought they couldn't get an answer from Xiao Jinle, the man gritted his teeth and laughed suddenly and said, "It can't be said that this matter has nothing to do with Bai Lichen, I was sent by Bai Lichen to help these people .”

Baili Mingyan and Qian Yuhan looked at each other, noncommittal, and signaled Xiao Jinle to continue.

"They asked me to teach an extremely difficult piece of music. I have never seen the score. It is extremely difficult to play and not easy to learn. I have been studying this piece since I escaped from the main altar of the Qinglian Gang until this month, including during the recovery period. .It wasn't until the beginning of the month that I finally taught them the song played by the man in black last night."

Qian Yuhan remembered the tune played by the man in black last night. At that time, he only thought that the syllables played by the other party were not good enough because of his poor skills. Now that he heard Xiao Jinle say so, he understood that the tune was probably the same.At that time, as soon as the man in black played the flute, the man in black, who was suspected to be Huo Yunqi, immediately followed the sound. The instructions were clear and the response was quick. Looking back now, it makes people feel chills all over the body.If all the top masters in the martial arts world are poisoned by this Gu poison, the person who inflicted the Gu will be invincible with just a bamboo flute.

Xiao Jinle said: "As for what happened afterwards, it was just as you expected, they brought me to this town and asked me to play the flute to confuse people's minds, since the owner ordered me to obey, so the scene yesterday happened. "

After speaking, Xiao Jinle showed an expression that I had explained everything, and said, "That's all I know."

Baili Mingyan frowned, he suddenly remembered that he overheard the conversation between Bailichen and a mysterious person seven years ago, and it was because of their words that he fell into the trap, making Qian Yuhan mistakenly think that Qianzhai would be attacked And missed the matter of Cangyuntai's families besieging the Thousand Alliance Leader.Times have changed, although this incident was a thorn in Baili Mingyan's heart, he may not have mentioned it for a long time, but just now when Xiao Jinle said that Bailichen sent him to help the man in black, this memory suddenly rushed into him In my mind, I vaguely feel that there is a connection.

Qian Yuhan continued to ask: "You can't guess who these men in black are at all?"

Xiao Jinle shook his head: "Obviously, they all concealed their physical skills, and even changed their voices on purpose. Although they have been together for a few days, it is difficult to guess their true identities."

Baili Mingyan and Qian Yuhan looked at each other, and both had a bad feeling in their hearts, but at this moment Xiao Jinle continued: "But I feel that they should be doing some experiments in this town."

"Experiment?!" Baili Mingyan was startled: "How do you say that?"

Xiao Jinle smiled and didn't plan to continue: "Baili Zhuzhu, these are just my personal speculations. Now that I am your prisoner, I have no reason to help you analyze it."

Baili Mingyan glanced at Qian Yuhan, and immediately reached out to untie the rope on Xiao Jinle's body.Xiao Jinle smiled and said, "What does the landlord of Baili mean? It's too late to get close to me now."

However, Qian Yuhan saw through Baili Mingyan's intentions, turned around and left the room silently.

When Qian Yuhan closed the door, Baili Mingyan turned to look at the puzzled Xiao Jinle, restrained his expression and said lightly: "Shangsang...he should be very grateful to you..."

A quarter of an hour later, Qian Yuhan was sitting on the first floor of the inn and suddenly heard a heart-piercing roar. The roar came from the second floor, full of grief, like a thousand cuts tore through the soul.

……

It was almost noon when Baili Mingyan came out of Tianzi No. [-] room. When he walked to the door of the inn on the first floor, he looked up at a vast expanse, and the snow outside was getting heavier.The ground was covered with a layer of pure white snow, covering up the traces of last night's fight.Everything in the world returned to pure white, and Baili Mingyan felt desolate and cold to the bone.

Suddenly the icy fingers were gently held, and a warm current flowed into the palm in the next second. It was a pure and warm genuine energy, with a feeling of deja vu.

Baili Mingyan turned his head abruptly, only to see Qian Yuhan looking at him with calm and indifferent eyes.

Only Qian Yuhan said slowly: "Last night...it was very hard."

"Brother Han..."

Qian Yuhan continued: "In this life, people are often unable to do what they want. The stronger they are, the more they will find their own insignificance and incompetence. You can't blame yourself. If you want to blame, you can only blame God for being too cruel. When I seized the opportunity, I ruthlessly took it away, then tore it up and threw it in front of you, mocking it with sneering words."

The palms of the hands continuously poured in true energy, like a pool of clear and warm spring water enveloping the body.He nodded slightly to express his understanding. He knew that Qian Yuhan was comforting him, and said, "I'm fine."

Baili Mingyan slightly opened his mouth to take a big breath of clear air, and after a while, he said slowly: "Xiao Jinle is very excited, knowing that his knot is actually like this..."

Qian Yuhan said: "If it's inconvenient, you don't have to tell me..."

Baili Mingyan shook his head, and continued: "You are so smart, you should have guessed that Gu Shangsang is Shangqing's younger brother, and they have known Xiao Jinle since they were teenagers, and they have a close relationship.

Back then, for some reason, Shangqing and Shangsang were captured by the Northern Wilderness Wu Clan as sacrifices to heaven, and Xiao Jinle once rescued the Wu Clan princess by a coincidence, so when he learned that his best friend had been arrested, he immediately Going to ask the princess of the Wu clan to let the two of them go, the princess of the Wu clan agreed to let them go because of her previous feelings, but she could only let one person go, and one must be kept to sacrifice to heaven.

At that time, they were all young and had not yet entered Qijue Villa, Xiao Jinle alone could not rescue Shangqing and Shangsang, they could only compromise..."

Qian Yuhan frowned slightly: "So he finally chose to save Gu Shangqing?"

Baili Mingyan sighed lightly and nodded: "Yes, because Shangqing is his partner, and they just made up their minds at that time..."

Qian Yuhan was slightly taken aback.

"Xiao Jinle hid his selfish intentions and saved Shangqing, while Shangsang was sacrificed to heaven by the witch clan. Afterwards, Xiao Jinle confessed everything to Shangqing. Gu Shangqing, who knew the truth, could not forgive Xiao Jinle for giving up Shangsang in order to save himself. One day, they left alone. The two of them had been separated for three years, but it was a pity that God tricked people, and after three years they met again at Qijue Villa, and this was also the first and last time Jiufenggu Shangqing entered Qijue Villa."

"It turns out that the reason for the rumor that Shangqing of Jiu Crazy Valley only works seven times and never enters the villa is to avoid meeting music fan Xiao Jinle..."

Baili Mingyan said: "Yes, but these are all things Xiao Jinle knew before today."

Qian Yuhan raised his eyebrows: "How should I say it?"

Baili Mingyan smiled wryly and said: "Actually, the reason why Shangqing and Shangsang were captured by the Wu tribe was because they broke into the forbidden area of ​​the Wu tribe, and they broke into the forbidden area of ​​the Wu tribe to pick up medicinal herbs unique to the Wu tribe. .”

"Picking medicine? Which of them is sick?"

Baili Mingyan: "It's Gu Shangsang. He suffers from a rare terminal illness in the Central Plains. The world's medical sages are helpless. But Shangqing didn't know where to get the folk prescription, saying that the witch tribe has a medicinal material that can be cured."

Qian Yuhan suddenly understood the key point: "So, in fact, at that time, Gu Shangqing was already dying of illness. Even if Xiao Jinle chose him, he would not live long after that. It was a waste of the opportunity to let Gu Shangqing live..."

Baili Mingyan nodded: "At the end of the day, Shangqing just couldn't forgive himself..."

Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and the fine snow on the stone steps in front of the door floated in. Qian Yuhan shrank his shoulders, turned his head to look at the person beside him, and said, "How did you know this?"

Baili Mingyan smiled helplessly: "The first half is what Shangguan Zhe said, and the truth behind it was revealed by Rong Shu unintentionally, and you will understand after a little contact."

"That medical sage should be Rong Shu's master..."

"Well, Rong Shu is also there, and he has been a teacher for a while at that time."

Qian Yuhan nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly opened his mouth and whispered: "Ming Yan..."

"Brother Han, what's the matter?"

Qian Yuhan didn't reply, but just stared at him with interest, and said, "When did you call me 'Xiaohan', sometimes 'Yuhan', and sometimes 'Brother Han'?"

Baili Mingyan was taken aback for a moment, without even realizing it, the words "Brother Han" blurted out naturally, so naturally and smoothly, as if he should have called Qian Yuhan that way.

Qian Yuhan held his hand slightly tighter, Baili Mingyan suddenly came back to his senses, he looked back at the snowflakes outside the door, coughed twice and held Qian Yuhan's hand again, and said softly: "Because, in my eyes, you are sometimes the invincible Qianji Pavilion master Qian Yuhan, sometimes you are the willful and stubborn child-tempered Xiaohan, and sometimes you are the elder brother Han who cares about me and loves me." Baili Mingyan turned his head to Qianyu Han smiled slightly and added, "But no matter which you it is, it's the one I love the most."

Later, Qian Yuhan recalled that snowy day countless times, only to feel that all people and things were far away from them, and the world was silent, so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing and his own heartbeat became clearer and clearer.

Seeing Qian Yuhan stunned for a moment and then suddenly laughing, Baili Mingyan suddenly felt a little ashamed. He turned his head and pretended to look into the distance, wanting to hide immediately but he was reluctant to let go of Qian Yuhan's hand.

Seeing the young man turn his head suddenly but couldn't hide his red ears, Qian Yuhan thought it was very funny, he raised his hand and pinched the young man's ear, and said with a smile: "Just now you talked so slyly about love, why are you so shy now? "

Baili Mingyan said angrily, "Xiaohan, stop making fun of me."

Qian Yuhan liked Baili Mingyan in this way the most, but just as he was about to say a few more words, he heard a very unpleasant voice from a distance: "Can you two stay put..."

Suddenly, Che Feiji emerged from the snow, and the two of them hurriedly turned their faces serious. They must have finished counting the casualties in the town. Before Che Feiji could speak, Qian Yuhan asked, "Can those people still be saved?"

Che Feiji frowned and shook his head slightly: "Most of them were poisoned to the marrow and died violently after going berserk yesterday. Only some young adults and a very small number of people who have not penetrated the poison are still alive. Shangguanzhe is already taking care of them. In addition to Gu."

Baili Mingyan: "How many people are there?"

Che Feiji: "Preliminary estimates... less than a hundred people."

Baili Mingyan immediately rushed into the snow curtain and shouted loudly as he walked, "I'll help Ah Zhe get rid of Gu."

The two looked at the back of the young man submerged in the heavy snow, and smiled at the same time.

Che Feiji raised his eyebrows and looked at Qian Yuhan: "What are you laughing at?"

Qian Yuhan asked back: "What are you laughing at?"

Che Feiji clasped his arms around his chest, nodded in relief, and said, "I think Mingyan is a really nice kid, he's a good person." After saying that, he added, "That's definitely not the way you laugh."

Qian Yuhan didn't say a word and shook his head with a smile. After a long time, he suddenly turned his head to look at Che Feiji and said seriously, "What do you think of me becoming a hero with him?"
