Chapter 102 Sky Shadow Organization
Under the moonlight, the bird-shaped wooden carving mask with blazing feathers reveals a clear and delicate texture, which makes the woman's deep, point-painted pupils under the eye holes look particularly cold.
“Her name is Meng Niang, and she is a snake demon.”
Jiang Shouzhong said truthfully. "Something happened recently. A woman named Li Guanshi took the initiative to find me and hoped to cooperate with me. She arranged for Meng Niang to be by my side in order to find someone. And I hoped that she could protect me, so I agreed to work with Li Guanshi "
There are not many people in this world that Jiang Shouzhong can trust.
As for the one who truly trusted him to the end, besides Sister Ye and Hong'er, it was the woman named Nightingale in front of him.
Even if you don’t know the other person’s real face, real name, or even real voice.
After being rescued by the other party from Anhe Village, the two accompanied them all the way to the capital. He married Ran Qingchen with the marriage certificate given by the other party. During this period, the other party had been accompanying him in the dark, protecting him, and investigating the massacre of Anhe Village with him.
As Jiang Shouzhong gradually gained a foothold in Liumen, Nightingale went about her own affairs and occasionally came back to see him.
This feeling is very similar to Sister Ye.
Sometimes I can feel the intimacy that is deep in my bones.
Nightingale was silent for a moment and said calmly: "I know who she is. I didn't expect Li Guanshi to let her out. No wonder I noticed something strange. She is entangled with our Mo family. I can't leave her. She was too close, otherwise she would have noticed."
Jiang Shouzhong was stunned, "Is she looking for you?"
Nightingen hummed.
Jiang Shouzhong suddenly had a toothache.
Is it Mengniang who is lucky or Nightingale who is unlucky? This coincidence is too much.
Looking at the lonely woman in black robe under the moonlight, Jiang Shouzhong said: "Sister Nightingale, I don't want to delve too deeply into your private affairs. After all, everyone has secrets, and I am no exception. But. I want to know, is it a good thing or a bad thing for Li Guanshi to find you?”
“It’s half good or bad.”
Nighting said calmly, “I will take the initiative to meet with her when necessary, but Not now."
Jiang Shou understood, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will keep it secret from Meng Niang and Li Guanshi. But in this case, I am really taking advantage of Meng Niang, and I feel a little guilty."
"What? Are you interested in her?" Nightingale sneered.
Jiang Shouzhong shook his head gently, "Not that I am interested, but sometimes I feel that she is very similar to me. She seems to be out of tune with this world and has no place to live. She is a bit like a drifting leaf of duckweed... ...In short, this feeling cannot be described.”
“I understand, we are all the same kind of people.”
The sharpness in Nightingale’s eyes became much weaker, and the cold wind ruffled her robe. The swing made a soft sound, like a black lotus blooming in the dark night, "But in comparison, she is indeed more miserable."
She glanced at the man beside her, "When did you start practicing? ”
Jiang Shouzhong grinned, "I was lucky, I got the Daomen River Map, and there was a super powerful senior who accepted me as a half-disciple, named Sword Demon Yan Changqing. He also secretly told you that I was actually Grandmaster Xiaoxuan's disciple. Realm."
I thought Nightingale would be surprised when she heard it, but the other party didn't seem to have any mood swings.
Jiang Shouzhong stared carefully at the indifferent eyes in the eye holes of the mask, and wondered: "Aren't you shocked?"
Nightingale said lightly: "There is nothing to be shocked about, there are so many things in this world. You're not the only one who has a chance. I've seen and heard a lot about a young novice monk in a certain monastery who suddenly became a saint while listening to sutras, and a certain Heavenly Desolate Realm swordsman who accidentally performed a skill that could kill him and become a saint. A master's sword move, a woman who escaped from marriage fell off a cliff and obtained the magical skill of cultivating immortality... Such opportunities abound."
"Oh, okay"
The loss of not being able to share the joy with him made Jiang Shouzhong very sad.
The corners of Nightingale's lips curled up slightly as she took in the man's expression, "But I'm not surprised, because I have long thought that you are not a thing in the pond, and will one day fly above the nine heavens."< br>
Unfortunately, Jiang Shouzhong didn't appreciate the compliments, hehehe said: "Do you think I am a three-year-old child?"
Seeing a grain of rice crumbs stuck to the corner of the man's mouth, Nightingale stretched out her hand to wipe it away gently , said softly: "Yan Changqing is a person you can trust. There are few people in the world who are as open-minded as him. As for Li Guanshi, no one can understand this woman's thoughts. Try not to get too entangled with her."
"By the way, I just found out that Sister Ye is actually Li Guanshi's apprentice." Jiang Shouzhong said with a complicated expression.
Nightingale nodded lightly, "I knew it a long time ago."
"Ah, you knew it earlier?"
"I am from the world, so I naturally know this name. I learned it from you. When I heard her full name, I knew she was Li Guanshi's disciple," Nightingale said in an understatement.
“Oh, that’s right.”
Jiang Shouzhong smiled, but felt very uncomfortable.
Nightingale saw through the man's mind, "Are you feeling depressed? You obviously trust me so much, but I hide everything from you?"
"You...you are actually very good to me. I can Feel it."
Jiang Shouzhong said seriously.
Nightingale's eyes were a little dazed, and then she laughed at herself, "How much is it worth to be kind to others? You won't even know if you are sold by me in the future. You are such a fool. And your sister Ye is obviously very good. You are so powerful, yet you pretend to be an ordinary person and are not afraid of having any intentions against you?”
Jiang Shouzhong scratched his head and smiled: “My life was saved by Sister Ye, so it doesn’t matter if I have any intentions.”
The man smiled calmly.
There is no difference between what you say and what you think.
Nightingale's eyes were solemn, "Sometimes feelings will affect your judgment, but feelings are also the most undeceiving. You really like your wife Hong'er, but besides her, you also miss her. Marry Ye Zhuchan as your wife, right?”
The normally calm Jiang Shouzhong suddenly blushed and waved his hands quickly, “I’m not that greedy.”
br>
"Uh... I have a little idea."
Facing the woman's teasing and sarcastic eyes, Jiang Shouzhong simply admitted, "I have confessed to Sister Ye before, but she...she didn't want to do it. Wife, maybe she feels that she is disfigured and not worthy of me, but actually I don’t care..."
Jiang Shouzhong sighed and laughed at himself: "But it is too late to say this now, maybe at that time. I should be tougher."
Nightingale withdrew her eyes and looked into the dark night, "With her medical skills, disfigurement is not something that is difficult to solve. Maybe there is something wrong with her."
Heart disease?
Jiang Shouzhong frowned.
When I was with Sister Ye, she was indeed very sentimental, as if she was full of worries.
Unfortunately, Sister Ye still refused to tell him.
Jiang Shouzhong asked: "How do you know that I want to marry Sister Ye?"
Nightingale said angrily: "During the days when I was with you, you even shouted your name in your dreams. Sister Ye and Hong'er, my ears are calloused, even a fool can tell. Moreover, you used wine to drown your sorrows and got drunk several times, and you thought I was your sister Ye. One time..."
< br>
At this point, Nightingale suddenly shut up and turned around.
Although the black robe covers her body, the pink neck hidden under the black robe has a faint crimson color, like a faint smear of rouge.
Jiang Shouzhong's expression also changed, and he smiled sarcastically.
He remembered that time.
In a daze, I put my hand into the other person's clothes... Although I touched the exaggerated pectoralis major muscles, I still succeeded in getting the other person to beat me up, and I lay on the bed for a few days to recover from my injuries. get well.
But what made him complain was that you were also a master after all, wouldn't you have noticed it in advance?
Sensing that the atmosphere was weird, Jiang Shouzhong coughed dryly and got down to business, "Recently, people from the Xichu Hall have been eyeing me. They want to find a bottle of evil spirit called "Netherworld", which is similar to ordinary people. The demonic energy is different. And they also have people at the six gates, so they can send me to investigate the demonic energy."
Nightingale turned around and stared. He asked, "Is it with you?"
Jiang Shouzhong shook his head, told the story in detail, and said: "Either the bottle of evil spirit is still hidden in my colleague's house, or it was captured by the cat demon Drink.”
Nightingale lowered her head and fell into thought, then said after a while: "They want the ghostly evil spirit, probably because they want to resurrect someone. As long as the evil spirit is definitely not with you, they will naturally give up if they can't find out. If it doesn't work, you can go to Ran Mansion and stay for a while. , it’s relatively safe there.”
“Just hide, if you really get in trouble, you’ll die.” Jiang Shouzhong curled his lips and said.
"Silly boy, you must know how to cherish your life."
Nightingale reached out and tugged at the opponent's face in anger.
Feeling the warmth of the other party's cold catkins, Jiang Shouzhong smiled and nodded, "So I asked Meng Niang to follow me because I was afraid that if I died, no one would talk to Sister Nightingale in the future. ”
Realizing that her behavior was too intimate, Nightingale retracted her hand and said coldly: "I don't care about your life or death. I just hope that you can remember the kindness of your sister Ye. If you die, her spirit in heaven will definitely be with you." "Sad."
Jiang Shouzhong hummed and lowered his head silently.
"By the way, I failed to complete what you told me." Jiang Shouzhong suddenly remembered something and apologized, "You asked me to join Liumen New Hospital as much as possible and follow Ran Qingchen to Qingzhou to investigate the case. , but the opportunity came, I... I refused. I'm sorry, did it mess up your plan?"
Nightingale shook her head slightly, "It's okay, something happened in Qingzhou. The imperial court won't send Ran Qingchen over for a while. It doesn't matter whether he can enter the new hospital or not."
"Oh, that's fine." Jiang Shouzhong breathed a sigh of relief.
Nightingale was about to speak when suddenly the bracelet on Hao's wrist trembled slightly. She looked down and said calmly: "I have to leave beforehand. I just came to see you today. Please be careful in the future. Fortunately, you have already practiced cultivation. , I won’t worry about you anymore.
By the way, the snake demon named Meng Niang has soft ears. Although she has lived for a long time, she is not as evil as some little girls, otherwise she would not be. It's so easy to be deceived. If you like it, you might as well say more sweet words, maybe you can seduce her."
Jiang Shouzhong sweated, "Why do you all think that I like to play with snakes? I am not reckless. Hero."
"Not interested?"
"No!"
After watching the expression on the man's face and confirming that he was not lying, Nightingale flashed and disappeared.
“You feel like you are testing me again?”
Jiang Shouzhong muttered in a low voice, and suddenly he patted his head, “Oops, I forgot to tell Sister Nightingale about Shuiyue Mengjing. It’s over. Forget it, let’s talk about it next time.”
Looking in the direction where the woman disappeared, Jiang Shouzhong couldn’t help but fall into memories.
This woman was really indifferent to him at first, full of disgust, and immediately left him alone after rescuing him.
When he learned that the village had been massacred, he frantically searched for Sister Ye's body, rummaging through one place after another. Finally, after finding the hairpin, he passed out among the corpses.
But the woman who originally left came back, carrying him away from Anhe Village and came to a small town not far from Qingzhou.
Settled him in a small house, left some money and left again.
During that time, he was hit hard by Sister Ye's death and Hong'er's departure, and he drank almost every day. Either he passed out drunk on the street, or he passed out drunk on the mountain... But every time, it was Nightingale who carried him back.
Every time after he woke up, Nightingale would say with a straight face: This is the last time I will take care of you. Your life and death from now on has nothing to do with me!
But when he passed out drunk next time, the woman who said she had left still carried him back to her residence, helped him make sobering soup and changed his clothes.
For a few moments, he really felt that the other party was Sister Ye.
Later, Nightingale told him that there was a conspiracy behind the massacre in Anhe Village, so he cheered up with the flame of revenge and promised Nightingale to go to Ran's family with the marriage certificate.
It can be said that without Nightingale, it would be difficult for him to cheer up and even harder to survive.
So Jiang Shouzhong is really grateful to this woman.
Even if he got married to the Ran family and the other party was obviously taking advantage of him, he had no complaints.
——
When Nightingale appeared again, it was in a dilapidated temple outside the capital.
There were three people inside the temple, all wearing masks.
Among them was the old man in green shirt wearing a tiger mask from Xi Chu Pavilion.
It was he who instigated Qin Shier to test Jiang Shouzhong, and later decided to let Jiang Shouzhong investigate the evil spirit case and let Nalanxie cooperate with the surveillance.
There are two people left, one wearing a monkey mask and the other wearing a goat mask.
Seeing the nightingale appear, Monkey Mask said in surprise: "Hey, the nightingale is also in the capital. If I had known, I would have treated you to a drink."
The nightingale ignored him and stared at the tiger face. The old man said, "The imperial court has been investigating 'Tianying' very closely recently. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Tianying, the most mysterious intelligence organization of the continental dynasty.
It was originally founded by the Zhuge family as a national secret weapon, specializing in infiltrating and spying on other countries' intelligence.
After the dynasties continued to change, this organization still continued and became an undercurrent among the people. Although the leader is still the Zhuge family, its internal members are basically cooperative.
The disadvantage is that we are all scattered, each working for his own camp.
The advantage is that it is easy to get out of the disputes and not be burdened by the organization.
After all, no one knows each other’s identities, they are just strangers.
I don’t know who he is, I don’t know his face, and I don’t know his heart.
Just a simple exchange.
Of course, it is not that easy to enter Tianying. In addition to being introduced by acquaintances and getting the tokens of the Zhuge family, you also need to provide enough value. Once the value provided by someone does not match, they will be kicked out of Tianying, and there may even be more severe penalties.
“Don’t worry, Nightingale, wait a little longer, maybe someone else will come.”
The man in the monkey mask sat lazily on the altar, and the voice through the mask carried Somewhat pointedly, "There are currently sixteen members of Tianying scattered across the continent. As far as I know, there are five people who live in the capital. They are Lao Yang and Buffalo..."
"Monkey, you should know Tianying's rules? Don't you want to live anymore?"
The man wearing the Aries mask interrupted him.
The monkey smiled and said no more.
Nightingale said nothing when she saw the tiger-faced old man, and walked aside with her eyes closed, silently waiting for the arrival of others.
The man called Lao Yang said calmly: "Before others come, I have a business I want to do. I was lucky some time ago. I got a book, which is one of the four great wonders. The second volume of "Yin Yang Shen Tu Lu", I want to exchange it for a piece of information."
Although Lao Yang was talking to everyone, his eyes were looking at the tiger-faced old man.
Obviously it thinks that only the old man knows this information.
However, the tiger-faced old man seemed not interested in his things, and just stared at a broken Buddha statue quietly.
"What information, maybe I know." Monkey asked with a smile.
Lao Yang was a little disappointed with the tiger-faced old man's reaction, and his tone was a bit calmer, "I want to know who got the Haotian divine luck in the prince's body? Is this person dead or alive? If so Alive, where is he?”
Thanks to Xin Huo Zhu, girls, don’t be too mean, and gzclxin for the reward
