Dream Broken You Pavilion

The mountains and forests tonight are too quiet, the sun has just set, and the dark clouds have covered the moon that has just risen, and the forest is pitch black, only the faint light flickering from the two torches behind, illuminating the journey ahead in the forest. road.

The hustle and bustle of the day's bird calls has subsided, only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing the treetops is so weak, the mountain wind is mixed with a trace of coolness, Jing'er shivered, shrank her neck, and put her arms around her shoulders , The pace became faster and faster.

Walking out of this forest, I saw the other courtyard with several burning torches.

Suddenly, Jing'er stopped in her tracks. She sniffed her nose vigorously, and seemed to smell a strange, disgusting smell against the mountain wind. She opened her eyes wide and looked around. She has walked the road countless times and is already familiar with it. However, she has never smelled this kind of smell, at least she has never smelled it on this road.

Xue Lian behind her stepped forward and asked, "Girl, why don't you leave?"

"Smell it, what does it smell like?" Jing'er felt a little uneasy.

Hearing this, the guards looked at each other in surprise, stretched their necks, and sniffed the faint strange smell in the air. Suddenly, a guard opened his eyes wide, and there was a flash of vigilance in his eyes. Turning to look at Jing'er, said:

"It smells like blood."

Jing'er looked solemn and nodded silently.

The guard's expression changed drastically, and he whispered secretly: "No, something happened in the other hospital."

The two guards "cang lang lang" drew their swords, guarding Jing'er on the left and right, looking around vigilantly.

"Girl, isn't that old thief coming again?"

There was a suppressed tremor in Xuelian's voice, she held the sword in one hand, and tightly held Jing'er's arm with the other, as if Jing'er would be taken away if she let go.

Jing'er frowned, calmly looking at the looming other courtyard ahead in the dark night, her heart sank little by little, and said in a low voice:

"It seems that my estimation was wrong. Not only did the iron-faced Yan Luo not leave, but he came back again. Is he trying to kill me?"

Xue Lian immediately raised her brows, gritted her teeth and reprimanded in a low voice: "This old thief is really lingering."

"Then we can't go to other courtyards anymore." The guard also became a little anxious.

Jing'er shook her head and said: "No, if he can't find me at this time, he will definitely look for me here. If I return to the mansion, I will definitely lure him there, and then Xiao Yuntian will be in chaos. The strength is no small matter, ordinary guards are no match for him at all. It is really unexpected, and now Xiao Yuntian's guards have suffered heavy casualties, and the defense is most lax..."

"Then what should I do?" The guard was a little anxious.

Jing'er thought about it for a moment, and suddenly, her eyes turned and her heart came to her...

Turning to look at the two guards, he asked, "Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid." The guard waved the long sword in his hand, his voice was low but extremely decisive.

Jing'er nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly said loudly to one of the guards:

"Oh, I forgot my handkerchief, go and get it for me."

Then she lowered her voice again: "Xue Lian also went back with her, hurry to report to your young master, and say... that I went to the big black stone."

"No, Xuelian won't leave," Xuelian said anxiously, "The girl is in danger, how can Xuelian leave?"

Jing'er said: "I want to lure the old thief away, the less people follow, the better, so as not to make him suspicious, you just go and come back quickly, I try to delay as much as possible, nothing will happen."

Hearing this, Xue Lian and the guard looked at each other, but the guard understood her meaning first, and purposely replied loudly:

"Yes, let's fetch it for the girl."

Xue Lian stuffed the two cans of chess pieces she had been holding into the hand of the remaining guard, turned around and trotted all the way to the courtyard.

Jing'er was extremely calm at the moment. Seeing that the guards and Xuelian had gone far away, she turned around and continued to walk towards the other courtyard calmly, and whispered to the guards as she walked:

"I'm going to lure Yan Luo out now, so you follow me closely."

"Yes." The guard replied, and stuffed the two small jars of chess pieces into his arms.

......

At this moment, it was less than fifty steps away from the farewell courtyard. As the two approached the other courtyard, the bloody smell became stronger and stronger. She regretted not bringing the dagger out of the room, but now that the matter is urgent, Jing'er can only bite the bullet and move forward.

When the other courtyard is safe on weekdays, the guards will light the torches, and guards can be seen patrolling around the courtyard from a distance, but there is no one at this moment, and the blood-smelling air is eerily silent .

The closer she got to the other courtyard, Jing'er's heart beat more violently. She tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart, pretended not to know, and walked slowly as usual. When the two slowly walked to the periphery of the other courtyard, Jing'er suddenly He stopped again and said loudly to the guards behind him:

"Nothing tonight, I don't want to go back so early, why don't you go for a walk in the mountains with me."

The guard obediently responded, "Yes."

Follow Jing'er around the gate of the other courtyard and walk straight into the forest behind the mountain.

Jing'er walked unhurriedly. In the dark night, her keen nerves were so precise that she felt that not far away, a pair of eagle-like eyes were staring at her viciously, making her feel trembling in her heart. But she knew that she could never turn back at this moment.

Just like that, after walking in the forest for an unknown amount of time, Jing'er gradually became panting, her clothes were soaked in sweat, and her legs felt a little weak, but she didn't dare to stop at all, she just wanted to stay away from Xiaoyuntian's house as much as possible, and the farther she got, the more she felt. Alright, Shang Wuyang and the old lady are the safest only if the old thief is lured as far away as possible.

Jing'er gritted her teeth secretly, and with the flickering light of the torch in the guard's hand, she walked heavily through the forest...

Gradually, the sound of running water came to her ears, and the further she walked, the louder the sound of the water made her move forward more firmly.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, I finally walked out of the forest and came to a vast grassland. A round of crescent moon tore through the black clouds, revealing a pale light, hidden behind the dark bushes on the top of the mountain. The faint pale afterglow reflects the scattered shadows of the mountains and trees on the grass, indistinctly, and the huge waterfall that is rushing day and night is right in front of you, and the rushing sound of the flowing water is here. In the dark night, it is shocking. The rising white water mist is like a night elf in the dark and layered mountains. It feels like standing at the source of Tianshui, and gradually there is a feeling of emptiness under your feet, and your body suddenly becomes lighter as if suspended above the canyon. Swept away.

In the dark deep mountain, Jing'er opened her eyes wide and quickly looked around. The huge black rock on the edge of the cliff came into view, and a smile with ulterior motives flashed across her lips.It may be that the torrent of the waterfall promotes the flow of air, or because the valley here is too empty, the mountain wind here is much stronger than other places, and the torches in the guards' hands are blown by the wind. The flames flickered, almost extinguished.

Jing'er's long hair danced wildly, and her brocade dress swayed in the wind, wrapping her delicate body around her, almost unable to stand still.

"Girl, it's very windy here, should we find a shelter from the wind?" The guard looked around vigilantly.

Jing'er raised her hand and brushed the hair flying wantonly between her forehead, shook her head, and lowered her voice:

"Don't look back, he's right here, in the woods behind us."

"Follow me." Jing'er walked towards the big black stone.

The guards followed closely with torches in their hands, and when they got to the boulder, Jing'er stopped. She recalled the scene when she came here with Shang Wuyang and saw this black meteorite for the first time, and roughly identified the direction. His chin lifted towards the south side of the boulder, "Go over there."

"Yes." The guard followed her closely and stood behind the meteorite.

This is on the south side of the boulder, just in the lee.

Jing'er asked in a low voice, "Can you play Go?"

"Uh, a little bit." The guard looked at Jing'er in surprise, not knowing why she suddenly asked this question at such a tense moment.

Jing'er lowered her voice: "Believe me, just around this stone, you must strictly follow my instructions, you can follow my steps as my chess pieces move, and force your opponent to stand in the opposite direction from you, understand ?"

The guards stared at the dignified and beautiful woman in front of them. In the minds of these guards, Jing'er now existed like a god, and there was an irresistible magic power to her orders subconsciously.Since he is a strange person, there is naturally a reason for it. The guard still believes in this point, and he knows that he just needs to obey.

So, amidst the deafening sound of the waterfall, Jing'er said loudly on purpose:

"The scenery here is very good, and the air is fresh. I'm tired. You can play a game of chess with me."

"Okay." The guard responded readily.

……

I saw a slightly flat mountain rock of three feet square, just like a small table, which is perfect as a chessboard.

"That's it."

Jing'er walked around the rock in satisfaction, then sat down on the ground.At this time, her back was facing the cliff waterfall, facing the jungle, and on her right was a huge black meteorite. Under the light of the stars, she could see the dark and empty grassland in front of her at a glance.

The guard inserted the handle of the torch in his hand into the soil beside the rock, took out two small boxes of black and white jars from his arms, put the small jar containing Heizi by Jing'er's hand, and put the Baizi jar by his hand, and Pulled out the sword at his waist, and carved a chessboard horizontally and vertically on the rocks in twos and threes, then knelt and sat opposite Jing'er, the two of them really took a quiet moment amidst the turbulent and noisy torrent , Youzai Youzai played chess leisurely.

Feeling the coldness of the mountain wind, looking at the black and white chessboard on the "chessboard", Jing'er twirled a black chess piece with two fingers in her slender and fair middle finger, wanting to fall, she seemed to be meditating, but at the same time seemed to be enjoying it. This rare quietness in the mountains actually makes her heart surge, danger will come at any time, she is trying to calm down, her mind is running fast...

"Wu Jing'er, you are so comfortable."

Suddenly, a dry and hoarse voice pierced their ears like an invisible sharp sword in the empty valley in the middle of the night.
