Chapter 37 Pretty Beauty
| Banxia Novel Exclusive |
*
Villain Valley.
It is a forbidden place that everyone in the world talks about with fear. Among them are cannibalistic villains, mediocre doctors with poor medical skills, and monks with kind faces but vicious hearts. The villains gathered here, all of whom are notorious outsiders.
Such a group of people in Kunlun Stone Valley are like a group of poisonous insects in a jar. From time to time, they will fight and quarrel with each other, but they will also tease each other together when outsiders break into the Valley of Evil. They have extremely evil minds and take pleasure in watching others make a fool of themselves. Recently
, in the Valley of Evil, where no one comes to seek refuge, there is a very harmonious and bright atmosphere.
The residents of the valley are friendly and kind, and their souls have been purified by "that person". The evil people who used to greet each other by cursing their fathers, mothers and eight generations of ancestors have become polite.
"Have you eaten today?"
"Yes. Have you eaten?"
"Yes. What did you eat?"
"I ate bacon."
"Wow, it's bacon. Can you please share some with me?"
"...Get lost! I can't share!"
A certain evil person in the Valley of Evil who is not worth mentioning shouted loudly, refusing the invitation of the person who asked him to share the bacon.
He screamed in despair: "Who can take care of that person!!!!"
The person who asked him if he had eaten was infected by the collapse of his words and also showed a sad and angry look on his face: "Don't yell at me! If you have the guts, yell in front of that person!!!"
"Ahhhhh!!!"
"Ahhhhhh——!!!"
The wailing of the two people swirled in the empty and deserted place, rose, and flew far away.
A person sweeping the ground under the tree heard this heart-wrenching wailing and looked up at the narrow sky far above.
His eyes were dead, he held a broom in his hand, wore linen clothes, and looked thin. This person was the embroidered thief, Jin Jiuling.
He used to be a detective, but because of his greed and excessive spending, he secretly became a robber. In the spring, due to various coincidences, his identity was exposed and he fell into the hands of Yihua Palace. After being tortured and wronged, he was led by an unknown boy and went to the Evil Valley after discovering that he had become a complete pauper. Jin
Jiuling was a wicked man among wicked men because he could rob money as a detective. He also knew wicked men well. Before entering the Evil Valley, he was even confident that he could make a good living in the Evil Valley.
But not everything in this world can go smoothly.
Jin Jiuling swept the floor slowly.
Not far away, the sound of a flute rang out, and a lotus-pink figure loomed on the cliff.
Jin Jiuling cast his eyes over there, and the noisy wailing that had just been going on stopped instantly when the flute sounded, and there was silence all around.
Now, it was the time for "that person" to pass the time.
Playing the flute, playing the piano, beating people, etc., were all the pastimes of "that person".
In the leisurely and brisk flute sound, Jin Jiuling's thoughts would recall the recent past.
...
About a month ago, when Jin Jiuling stood outside the Evil Valley in a wolf-like and muddy appearance, he saw the stone tablet standing outside the Evil Valley, covered with a thin layer of snow and covered with incisions. The entrance extended downward, bottomless, like an abyss.
On Jin Jiuling's way to the Valley of Evil, some people began to doubt whether he was really dead, and some even investigated his whereabouts. Jin Jiuling thought of what happened on the way here, gritted his teeth, and walked along the stone path to the depths of the valley.
If he were in the martial arts world, with enemies everywhere, and the Bat Prince wanted to get rid of him, he would definitely die. It would be better to have a glimmer of hope in the Valley of Evil and make a comeback.
The deeper the stone path went, the gloomier the surrounding environment became, and the cold wind was like a knife, drilling straight into the bone seams.
Jin Jiuling didn't care about his demeanor at this time, and he shrunk his neck slightly, and walked up this long staircase with tension and unspeakable excitement.
In front of him were many scattered houses that looked quite smoky, and walking figures. The Valley of Evils actually looked like an ordinary village, which made Jin Jiuling, who thought he would see evil people fighting each other, a little dazed.
Then, his sight was attracted by a bright color.
A beautiful girl in lotus pink clothes walked towards him with a basket.
Her long hair was half tied up, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her peach blossom eyes smiled before she spoke, like a pool of spring water, and there was a little scarlet tear mole under the corner of her eye. She was beautiful but not without heroic spirit. The bright lotus pink clothes were out of tune with the gloomy and dark Valley of Evils, but they were very suitable for her.
After Jin Jiuling saw her appearance clearly, his breathing was slightly stagnant. He didn't quite understand why such a weak woman would appear in the Valley of Evils.
The beautiful lady smiled and said, "Are you new here?"
The voice was pleasant. The beauty looked approachable and very easy to talk to.
This made Jin Jiuling, who was used to seeing the cold faces of the disciples of Yihua Palace, feel a little hesitant and pampered. The disciples
of Yihua Palace, including Yaoyue, all looked at people with disdain. Although they were beautiful, they were thorny and cold. Yaoyue was even worse. She was extremely beautiful and had a cold temperament. She looked at Jin Jiuling as if she was looking at a stone on the roadside.
The attitude of the beauty in front of him was like heaven and earth.
Jin Jiuling was once a romantic man who had won the hearts of countless beauties. So he showed what he thought was an appropriate smile to the kind and gentle beauty in front of him, and smiled: "Yes."
The beautiful woman looked at him and said caringly: "You must have experienced a lot of hardships on the way here. Can you go to the tavern there and sit down and drink a bowl of hot wine to warm your body?"
Following the other person's line of sight, you can see a wooden house with a faint light.
Jin Jiuling knew nothing about the Evil Valley. The beautiful woman took the initiative to greet him, and of course he was more than happy to do so. So he went to a nearby tavern with the beautiful woman.
There were two or four people gathered in the tavern and whispered. When the beautiful woman lifted the curtain, those people immediately stopped whispering and turned to look at the two people at the same time, their eyes flashing.
This made Jin Jiuling feel a little strange. Because of his job, he dealt with all kinds of people and was very good at observing people's expressions... These people looked like they were guilty.
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Don't you have anything to do now? There is a newcomer here. You have more experience. Chat with him and have a drink together."
"...Oh, oh."
One of them answered with a stiff face and a stiff tone.
The rest of the people nodded silently. There was a bit of complexity in their eyes when they looked at Jin Jiuling.
The owner of the tavern came out from the back room with wine. He had a white face and a round body, a gentle smile, and looked like Maitreya Buddha.
This person was Hahaer, one of the ten evil men. Jin Jiuling recognized him at a glance. He killed his master's family because his junior sister called him a fat pig, and fled to the Valley of Evil for nearly ten years.
Hahaer first glanced at the beautiful woman, and there was still a subtle emotion in his eyes. Then he looked at Jin Jiuling and said enthusiastically: "Welcome, welcome. I wonder what nicknames and honorifics you have in the world so that you can have a name in the future."
Everyone was staring at him. Jin Jiuling had a premonition that if he didn't establish his identity at this time, he would have a hard time having a status in the future.
So he said frankly: "My surname is Jin, and my name is Jiuling."
Everyone present changed their expressions, only Hahaer still kept smiling. He glanced at the beautiful woman behind Jin Jiuling, who was standing by the table with a basket, with a kind expression and a faint smile on her lips.
No one spoke.
After a while, Hahaer said meaningfully: "It turns out to be Captain Jin - I have heard of your name for a long time."
Jin Jiuling said: "Same here."
The beautiful woman's peach blossom eyes were full of smiles: "It's boring to talk while standing, sit down and talk."
The tone was soft, without any command, but everyone present sat down in an instant, even Hahaer walked to the table with a wine pot and invited Jin Jiuling to sit down.
None of them said anything extra to the beautiful woman, but everyone obeyed her words.
Seeing the beautiful lady being kind and gentle, and having outstanding manners, Jin Jiuling thought he understood something, and thought that no one would be willing to ignore such a beautiful lady.
At this time, Jin Jiuling regarded this beautiful lady as a person who could add fragrance to his sleeves. After all, he could not tell the strength of this lady, and only knew that she looked weak and fragile.
So when he sat down, Jin Jiuling smiled at her, and his smile was suave and charming.
Behind him, Hahaer and others who were gathered around the table showed indescribable eyes, looking at Jin Jiuling who was unaware of his own sentimentality, and felt that they saw a pig grunting at the butcher. The
beautiful lady smiled lightly, and Jin Jiuling was slightly stunned. Hahaer and others lowered their heads one after another, unable to bear to look directly at her.
"So you are Captain Jin..." the beautiful lady said slowly.
Jin Jiuling said, "Now you don't have to call me the captain."
The pretty lady said, "Okay."
"She" sat down next to Jin Jiuling's table, and with a glance, Hahaer immediately attracted Jin Jiuling's attention and asked him about his experience on the way to the Evil Valley.
Jin Jiuling was very satisfied to see that these people were quite polite to him - it seemed that even if his identity was exposed, his reputation in the martial arts world over the years still had residual power.
He also wanted to know the situation in the Evil Valley, so he answered Hahaer's questions. They chatted for nearly half an hour with wine, during which time the pretty lady sat at another table reading a book, occasionally smiling at the few people who secretly looked at her.
Jin Jiuling was also among them. Being noticed by such a beautiful woman, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. Little did he know that Hahaer and the others looked at him with increasingly sad eyes, full of sympathy and nostalgia, as if he was already dead.
The tavern was warm and harmonious, and it didn't feel like being in the Valley of Evil at all.
The only thing that puzzled Jin Jiuling was that after he and the beautiful woman entered the tavern, only one person lifted the curtain and wanted to enter the house
. But when this person saw them, he quickly let go, saying "I suddenly remembered that I haven't found a miracle doctor to prescribe medicine for me" and left without looking back. No one entered the house after that.
The beautiful woman smiled with her cheek propped up, listening to Jin Jiuling talk about his meeting with Chongming.
"A mysterious guy."
Jin Jiuling spoke with contempt when he mentioned the culprit who brought him to this place. If there was no Wanwu Tower, Wuqing would not have met Chongming, and Yihua Palace would not have commissioned Wanwu Tower to investigate him. He could always find a way to trick Wuqing away and find a scapegoat to perfunctorily deal with Yihua Palace.
But Wanwu Tower provided information to Yihua Palace, and Chongming said some specious words to Wuqing, which made it inevitable that Jin Jiuling would be exposed.
The resentment in the words could be heard by anyone with long ears. Before Jin Jiuling arrived, there were other guys who had fled to the Evil Valley from outside, and they brought the news that the owner of Wanwu Tower had appeared in front of people.
After hearing what Jin Jiuling said, even Hahaer, who was very supportive, lowered his head slightly, and the scene fell into a strange silence for a moment.
Jin Jiuling finally realized something was wrong at this time.
"But he knows your identity, isn't it amazing?"
The beautiful woman's voice as frivolous as a feather sounded beside Jin Jiuling, her tone was full of smiles, her face was frank, and she asked very innocently, as if it was just ordinary curiosity.
Jin Jiuling frowned slightly, then smiled and said: "Although that's the case, I have met him face to face, but he is just a kid wearing a mask pretending to be deep. The real owner of Wanwu Building is definitely not him. You don't understand."
The beautiful woman smiled: "Really."
Hahaer saw her smiling face and buried his head deeper.
Then the beautiful lady got up and left. After she left, Jin Jiuling looked at Hahaer and asked about her origins, treating her as someone who had brought her here.
Hahaer said in a strange tone, "No... he came here on his own."
Just as Jin Jiuling was about to continue asking, he suddenly felt dizzy and his head was heavy.
In his hazy vision, the five people looked at him with sorrow, and their voices seemed to come from far away.
"You wicked ghost, who told you to offend him and say bad things about Chongming..."
What does it mean? Jin Jiuling was angry and confused, closed his eyes, and fell into darkness.
...
A month later, Jin Jiuling recalled what happened at that time. He wanted to go back and slap himself to stop him from going to the Evil Valley. If he went back a little further, he would never listen to the nonsense of the round-faced boy; if he went back a little further, he would never rob the escort of Yihua Palace.
The sound of the flute was melodious, and Jin Jiuling swept the ground silently. As he swept, he raised his hand and threw the broom on the ground.
He couldn't stand it for a moment!
Jin Jiuling followed the sound of the flute to find Hahaer. This man was very good at talking. Although the evil people were unwilling to submit to each other, with the pressure of "that person" above, everyone's resentment had nowhere to vent, and they often gathered in Hahaer's tavern to complain.
Today, six or seven people were sitting scattered in Hahaer's tavern, drinking alone, and they looked inexplicably sad under the background of the melodious flute music.
Hahaer was calculating his abacus when he saw Jin Jiuling lift the curtain and enter the room. He smiled enthusiastically and said, "Captain Jin is here. Have you finished sweeping the place?"
"No." Jin Jiuling said with a gloomy face, "You are notorious villains in the underworld after all. Why did you let that man run wild?"
The other drinkers in the store turned their heads to look at him with resentful expressions.
Li Dazui said, "Have you forgotten how hard he beat you?"
Jin Jiuling's ribs hurt and his expression became ugly.
A month ago, Jin Jiuling had just stepped into the Valley of Evil and was knocked unconscious by a bowl of drugged wine given by Hahaer. When he woke up, he found himself hanging on a tree and the evil people were pointing at him.
They told Jin Jiuling that if he drank and got drunk, they would take away all his wealth and he would become a partner of the Valley of Evil, but he said something that "that person" didn't like, so Jin Jiuling could only be hung on the tree and exposed to the wind and rain.
Jin Jiuling asked angrily: "Who is that person! Tell me!"
The evil people said that the person had no name, and as for who the other person was, it was someone they had met before.
Jin Jiuling was very shocked at the time.
"...What?"
That girl is so beautiful, how could she convince every evil person
? So Jin Jiuling blurted out: "Have you never seen a beautiful woman? Even if she is beautiful and charming——"
Everyone's faces changed at the same time, and they covered Jin Jiuling's mouth one after another. After that, they did not give him a chance to speak, and blocked his mouth with a rag.
Hahaer put his hands in his sleeves and said in a heavy tone: "We were also blind, so we don't blame you for being short-sighted, but you should still hang up. We will let you down when you figure it out."
The angry and confused Jin Jiuling was hung for a day and a night. During this time, the beautiful beauty passed by. Jin Jiuling begged her to let him down. The beautiful beauty looked at him with innocent eyes: "They said you hung up because you liked it."
This sentence made Jin Jiuling remember it for a long time, until now.
After being put down by Hahaer and others, Jin Jiuling gradually integrated into the Evil Valley and learned about the status of the beautiful woman in the valley.
This spring, this beautiful woman came to the Evil Valley. I felt pity for her. She had delicate eyebrows and eyes, and she was full of the spirit of heaven and earth, and she was full of smiles.
Even though her voice was not as gentle as that of an ordinary woman, she had an indescribable charm.
In the Evil Valley, except for Tu Jiaojiao, who was neither male nor female, it was rare to see such a beautiful woman. Moreover, no one knew Tu Jiaojiao's true appearance and gender, and her face was completely disguised.
Facing such a beauty, the evil people were naturally very aggressive.
The result of being aggressive was that they all fell to the ground and were stepped on by that person as a stone step.
This person is not a woman, but a man with a feminine appearance.
After Jin Jiuling came down from the tree, he heard the villains talking about what happened in the spring. Everyone was too scared to speak loudly for fear of being heard by "that person".
He was silent for a long time and decided to observe for the time being.
After observing for a month, Jin Jiuling continued to sweep the land. He learned that "that person" was not only the owner of Wanwu Building, but also paid attention to the deeds of the new killer who appeared in the world.
Whenever he listened to the news, he had a faint smile on his face, and he felt helpless for some reason.
In addition to these things, Jin Jiuling also knew one thing.
- He couldn't beat this person.
A peerless beauty, with a manly and feminine appearance, but without a name or surname, Jin Jiuling never dreamed that he would be stepped on and beaten by such a person, and his ribs were still hurting.
At this moment, he covered his ribs with phantom pain and said angrily: "So you just let him do whatever he wants! You are the big villains on the wanted list! So many people can't bring him down!"
"What are you yelling about, you fake-death-escaped head of the police?" Someone said disdainfully, "If you want to die, don't drag us with you."
Jin Jiuling was furious. He came to the Valley of Evil with the idea of making a comeback, but he was penniless and had to work like a slave for others for no reason, so of course he couldn't be happy.
"You bunch of short-sighted guys!"
He said hatefully.
This caused public outrage, and several months later, they showed their scars to Jin Jiuling, who had no idea.
"He poked out this eye."
"He broke this leg, and I have to ask Wan Shen Doctor to give me a refill tomorrow."
"He broke this finger."
"He cut this scar with a sword."
"Do you think we haven't thought about resisting him?"
The evil people said with resentment.
Jin Jiuling: "..."
His desire to return to the past reached its peak.
*
"That person" - the second disciple vest, Xiao Qingzhou is playing the flute.
As a beauty, you must have grace and unforgettable characteristics. Xiao Qingzhou's face alone can make people unforgettable for a lifetime, even if she doesn't play the flute.
But Bu Zao was too lazy to play dumb in front of the evil spirits in the Evil Valley. When the second disciple Ma Jia first left the Salted Fish Sect and walked into the Evil Valley, he played dumb for two days, but the evil spirits were all very annoying, so he simply relied on his fists to become the boss and became the de facto master of the Evil Valley.
Bu Zao was particularly satisfied with everyone's awe-inspiring attitude. He had room to display his evil taste. The originally dirty and messy Evil Valley was cleaned up and paved with stone roads. He didn't know what other evil spirits thought of him, and he was very happy.
Although the junior brother does not have the cleanliness obsession that is close to abnormal like his second senior brother, being neat and tidy is an essential quality for an ordinary person. Doing some elegant things in a clean environment is in line with the appearance of a beauty.
Jin Jiuling and other evil people gathered in Hahaer's tavern to gossip. Bu Zao did not know the specific situation, but he could guess what he was planning.
It was obvious that Jin Jiuling had not been defeated.
Bu Zao put away his flute and jumped down from a high place. After landing, someone ran over from a distance to report that Jin Jiuling was instigating people to resist with him in the tavern.
"Aren't you going with him?"
The beautiful woman smiled like a flower.
"Gu, Gu, the master is joking..." The visitor was sweating profusely.
Bu Zao walked towards the tavern in a happy mood. Inside the tavern, Jin Jiuling had given up his intention to resist and was thinking about how to escape from the clutches of the Lord of the Evil Valley.
The lotus-pink figure passed by like a breeze. Xiao Qingzhou pushed open the door and stood outside the tavern, smiling at the people in the tavern who looked unhappy.
"I heard that you were talking about something very happy. How about telling me about it?"
Xiao Qingzhou walked into the tavern. The door was wide open. He blocked the only exit. His thin figure was as insurmountable as a mountain.
Hahaer immediately sold Jin Jiuling: "Captain Jin has something to say to you. I will go to prepare wine and food for the two of you. You two can talk slowly."
Jin Jiuling glared at Hahaer.
The beautiful woman raised her hand: "Wait."
His smile was gentle and moving, and his tone was like whispering to a lover. He looked androgynous, and his ambiguous attitude would always cause misunderstandings, but the smile in his affectionate peach blossom eyes did not reach his eyes.
When he beat people, the smile in his eyes was still like spring snow surging on the ice.
Bu Zao: Beat the bad guys with one punch.
[The system expressed its concern about the player's behavior.]
There were continuous wailing in the tavern, and Jin Jiuling screamed the worst. He angrily accused: "I haven't done anything yet!"
Xiao Qingzhou stepped on the overturned chair to look at him, tilted his head, his long hair slid down from his shoulders, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were like blood. He smiled lightly and said: "You didn't do anything to make me want to beat you... With this kind of person, what qualifications do you have to say that Zhongming is not worth mentioning?"
Jin Jiuling: "————!"
This person actually still remembered that he said bad things about Zhongming! How much grudges can he bear!!!!
*
Outside the Valley of Evil.
In the distance, the high mountains were covered with white snow. The entrance was dark as an abyss. Yaoyue, dressed in black, walked slowly into it.
No matter what the girl's current situation was, it had nothing to do with Yaoyue, an outsider, but she still couldn't help imagining her current situation.
The girl seven years ago was fragile and naive, but quite clever. But even so, with her appearance, she would never encounter any good things if she walked alone.
So Yaoyue invited her to Yihua Palace.
Yihua Palace only accepts female disciples. Yaoyue dare not say how much preferential treatment she will give her, but she was able to take the initiative to invite her. Yaoyue did consider her.
This was unexpected for the cold and ruthless Yaoyue. Even she herself didn't know why she would invite a little girl who she had just met for a short time.
——And she rejected Yaoyue.
Recalling the scene at that time, Yaoyue still finds it hard to believe. But now the shame of being rejected has dissipated, and what remains is the concern about her current situation.
Yaoyue entered the Valley of Evil unnoticed. What she saw was not as dirty and messy as she had imagined. It could be called clean and tidy.
Several people gathered outside a small tavern and looked around. Bursts of wailing came from the tavern. Yaoyue heard people whispering.
"Are you done fighting?"
"No."
Yaoyue looked around. There was not a single woman.
So she quietly approached the tavern, where people were lying and moaning. A lotus-pink figure stood out like a crane among chickens, with black hair down to her waist. She heard a familiar voice shouting that she had done nothing, and then a voice with a smile rang out.
She heard Chongming's name again, and the words that person said seemed to protect Chongming, which made Yaoyue frown subconsciously.
At the same time, the young man in the room stood up and turned his head, with a smile on his eyebrows, eyelashes like butterflies, red lips and white teeth, and the tear mole at the corner of his eye was particularly eye-catching.
This image overlapped with the little girl in Yaoyue's memory.
"She" looked at Yaoyue with a smile in her eyes, tilted her head, and looked puzzled: "Where are you from again? I don't think I have seen you before."
Even the way she asked her was exactly the same as the picture in Yaoyue's memory.
