[Comprehensive martial arts] A scholar who is useless

So in the next few days, Shu Mingshen was almost swayed by Gong Jiu. Every day, he either went for a drive with the other party or rode a horse among the beautiful flowers, forests, mountains and rivers on the island to hunt, or took a black-covered boat. Go to the nearby blue mirror-like sea to catch turtles and fish. If you are tired, stay in the room and study the precious antique calligraphy and paintings collected on the island. Anyway, there are endless new tricks to play every day.

The Palace Master looked at Shu Mingshen, who had changed into casual clothes for riding and hunting under Gong Jiu's suggestion, and was happily planning to go out with Gong Jiu with his whip, and couldn't help but sighed slightly: "You two How long are you going to play with different tricks all day long...?"

Shu Ming deeply felt that the other party's tone was like that of an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes, so he couldn't help but a little amusingly said: "Why does Miss Gong sigh like this?"

The palace lord glanced at him, and said quietly: "You are with Ninth Brother every day like this, have you already decided to agree to my Ninth Brother's plea?"

When Shu Ming heard that he was about to raise his footsteps, he couldn't help but suddenly stopped, raised his hand, touched his nose and said, "Uh, this..."

The palace lord stared at him who was hesitating, and continued: "Otherwise, you know that brother Jiu likes you, and you agree to go out with him every day, wouldn't you be cheating your feelings to make him happy for nothing?"

Shu Mingshen was a little scared by what the other party said, and he was at a loss for a long time before he said: "I, I didn't think so much..."

He was just getting along with each other as they used to. Since Gong Jiu asked him to go out to visit the mountains and rivers together, he also loved the scenery on this island, so he went with the other party without thinking too much.

But now that the palace lord said this, he felt a little uneasy instead...

The palace lord sighed again, stood up and said to Shu Ming who was not sure whether to stand or sit in front of him: "My ninth brother is getting deeper and deeper and can't extricate himself, if you tell him now that you are actually treating him Wouldn't it hurt him too deeply if it was unintentional?"

"Then, what should we do?" Shu Ming stumbled deeply, of course he didn't want to hurt Gong Jiu, although he still hasn't fully figured out that question, after all, this matter is very important to both him and Young Master Jiu. The most important thing is that he really can't think clearly for a while, but even so, he absolutely doesn't want to hurt Gong Jiu.

After thinking about it for a while, the palace lord stroked his chin, and said to Shuming deeply: "Actually, I shouldn't have interfered with Brother Ninth's affairs, but this is the lifelong matter of Brother Nine and Mr. Shu after all. I should have confessed to you."

Seeing the Palace Master's expression of hesitation and hesitation, Shu Ming couldn't help wondering what the other party wanted to say.

However, the Palace Master approached him mysteriously and said: "If you want to know, you might as well go to the room at the corner of the courtyard at midnight. Remember, you must be careful not to disturb anyone!"

The palace master straightened up after saying that, and continued bouncing towards the outside while continuing: "At that time, you will know what my ninth brother's secret is!"

"..." Shu Mingshen originally wanted to say that he had no intention of prying into Gong Jiu's secrets. After all, everyone has things that they don't want others to know. The confession has a great relationship...

Shu Mingshen couldn't help being a little curious. After all, it is impossible for the Palace Master to say useless words to him. Maybe he should really go and see what's there, even if it's for Gong Jiu. After all, he doesn't want to make Gong Jiu sad. Sad, and even if he really saw something that shouldn't be seen, he would definitely tell himself to forget about it quickly and never tell anyone.

Therefore, after making up his mind, Shu Mingshen decided to wait until midnight to take a look in that room according to what the palace owner said, and find out exactly what the secret about Gongjiu was that the other party had mysteriously told him. what is it.

During the day, Shu Mingshen thought about whether he should really keep a proper distance from Young Master Jiu because of what the palace lord said just now, but when he saw Gong Jiu who was walking towards him with a smile on the opposite side, Shu Mingshen couldn't speak out immediately after he had typed up a full draft, he hesitated for a long time and didn't know what to say.

Gong Jiu pretended not to see Shu Mingshen's hesitation, just took the other party's hand and walked towards the door as usual, saying: "I have been waiting in the hall for a long time but I didn't see Brother Shu, so I simply came to invite him. Let’s go to the cave in the back mountain today, it is said that there are many relics left by the ancestors who came to this island, I think you will be very interested in it, brother book!”

When Shu Ming heard this deeply, he couldn't say what he planned to say at first, and he just smiled and let Gong Jiu pull him out together.

Anyway, it's not too bad and it will take a day and a half. Let's talk about other issues when he thinks clearly!

The scenery on the back mountain was really beautiful, the two walked side by side, talking and laughing towards the cave that Gong Jiu had mentioned.

After arriving at the entrance of the cave, the two got off their horses, Gong Jiu lit the torch, and then pulled Shu Mingshen into the dark cave in front of them.

Shu Mingshen was very curious about the surrounding environment, and his feet were really slippery, so he let Gong Jiu lead him.

After the two of them hadn't walked for a long time, they saw phosphorescent lights in the cave, and the wind was blowing, and suddenly there was a ghostly feeling.

Although Shu Mingshen also felt that there was a chilly wind blowing on the back of his neck, but because he was never afraid of these things, he just admired the carvings and murals on the stone wall with great interest.

Gong Jiu also glanced at the writings engraved on the stone in front of him, and said with a smile: "I have never been here before, but now, it seems that this is what the senior left behind when he was trapped on this island. Legacy..."

Shu Ming also nodded when he heard the words: "What he inscribed was exactly what happened to him when he was shipwrecked on a ship, and he was stranded on this deserted island, but it seems that there should be another person with him. She must be his wife and concubine..."

After looking around, Gong Jiu suddenly walked deeper into the cave, and said: "Seeing is believing, if that person is really trapped here for such a long time, there must be more ruins left inside. Let's go in and have a look."

Shu Mingshen followed Gong Jiu to go deeper into the cave.

And in the depths of the cave, they found some things left by the senior who was trapped here, and what's more, they found a coffin in the innermost part of the cave...

Shu Ming was taken aback when he saw the black sarcophagus lying on the stone bed, as if he didn't expect that person's body to stay here.

Gong Jiu stepped forward and dusted off the sarcophagus, and after seeing clearly the words written on the coffin lid, said with emotion: "Brother Shu's guess is indeed true, this sarcophagus is the joint burial of the husband and wife. coffin."

Shu Mingshen also boldly glanced at the top, and found that the engraving on the coffin happened to be the lower half of those suicide notes in the stone path.

After the other party was stranded on a deserted island with the one he loved, he couldn't leave here after trying his best, so he had to take this cave as his home and live here.

Although there was no one else on the island, they did not have to worry about food and drink. It was a pity that the person he loved was already weak, and after this sudden blow, he was seriously ill and bedridden. Due to the lack of medical treatment and medicine on the island, the other party died of serious illness a few years later.

And because of the hopelessness of living on a deserted island, and the loss of his love, this person died here with him not long after.

This coffin was the posthumous chamber that the other party had spent months building for the two of them.

"..." Shu Ming couldn't help being a little sad after reading the last words written on it, thinking that the world is really fickle, and human life is so insignificant. Compared to him, he is quite lucky to be able to live without incident at this moment...

Shu Mingshen shared his thoughts with Gong Jiu, Gong Jiu thought about it and said: "Although Brother Shu's words are not bad, but in my opinion, compared with other people who went to sea with these two people, this The two of you are very lucky..."

"At least they can spend a few years together on this deserted island after life and death." Gong Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "This can't be called God's curtain for the two of them. If I am this senior, I am afraid that I would still be grateful to the heavens for such kindness, at least he did not ask us to be buried alone in the cold and mysterious deep sea..."

Shu Ming bowed his head and thought for a moment when he heard the words deeply.

After a long while, he raised his head and smiled and said to Gong Jiu in front of him: "Although the scenery here is amazing, the atmosphere is a bit too bleak. If you stay for a long time, you might lose your vitality. If it's still early in the sky, don't be as good as Jiu." Brother, let's go back together!"

Shu Mingshen finished talking to Gong Jiu, but unexpectedly he waited for a long time but still didn't get the other party's reply. Looking up, he saw that Gong Jiu seemed to be in a daze, standing in a daze. Standing motionless in place: "..."

Shu Mingshen called the other party several times but did not see a response from the other party, so he couldn't help becoming a little anxious, walked in front of the other party and said, "How are you, Brother Ninth?"

Even though he was fine just now, why did he suddenly become like this? Could it be bewitched?

Shu Mingshen pulled the opponent's arm eagerly and wanted to walk out of the cave, but Gong Jiu's feet seemed to have taken root, no matter how he pulled it, he would not move for half a step, even that in normal times Li's gentle and warm eyes, like a spring breeze, suddenly became cold and severe in an instant: "..."

Shu Mingshen didn't know what happened to the other party, and wanted to go out to find someone, but worried that it would be dangerous to leave Gong Jiu here alone, so he had to continue calling Gong Jiu's name, hoping to bring the other party back to his senses quickly .

"Ninth Brother, wake up quickly... Ninth Brother!"

"..." Gong Jiu looked at him coldly, and after a long while, suddenly said to him with a gloomy, erratic and thin voice (anyway, it was definitely not the voice of Young Master Jiu himself), "You Who is it and why is it here?!"

Shu Mingshen was so frightened that he couldn't help but took two steps back, and tremblingly said to the other party: "Ninth brother, you really don't remember who is next...?"

Gong Jiu just stared at him without saying a word: "..."

Shuming took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, wanting to ask Gong Jiumo to stop joking, but it didn't look like he was joking at all, so after thinking about it for a while, he rushed Looking at the other party, he said: "You, who are you, why can you speak with the body of Ninth Brother?!"

The man stared at him gloomily for a while, and Shuming, who was looking directly at him, had hairs on his back and cold sweat, then he sneered and said, "Naturally, I am the owner of this cave. Of course I can't let you go easily!"

The hairs on Shu Mingshen's body stood on end, he didn't expect that he actually encountered such a strange thing, but the most important thing now is naturally how to save Gong Jiu from the other party's hands, otherwise Brother Ninth might be killed by him. It's going to be dangerous...

"I have no intention of offending senior. If senior can forgive me, I promise that I will leave this place with Brother Ninth immediately, and I will never disturb you again." Shu Ming sincerely bowed to the other party and said, "I only hope that senior can forgive me." Bypass Ninth Brother!"

"Gong Jiu" walked around him slowly, as if looking at him, and said after a while: "You really care about this young master so much?"

Shu Mingshen said without hesitation: "As long as the senior is willing to let the ninth brother go, I will never refuse to do whatever I ask this subordinate to do!"

"Gong Jiu" lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Then what if I ask you to replace him and stay here with me forever?"

Shu Ming swallowed deeply, looked at Gong Jiu's icy gaze staring at him at the moment, and said tremblingly: "Didn't senior, senior, be accompanied by someone he loves here? Why do you want to find someone else?" Anyone come to accompany Senior?"

Hearing the words, "Gong Jiu" raised his hand and stroked the hair on his cheeks, and said with a smile: "It was true at first, but it's a pity that he already had many beautiful concubines in his family before he went to sea with me, and now they have reached their limit. After he died, they all ran to the underworld to pester him!"

"There are so many Yingying and Yanyan around him, so naturally he doesn't remember me, the old love who was in trouble and lived and died with him." "Gong Jiu" sighed quietly: "I hate him because he is so popular. It’s a bit too much, so the Nu family can only find another way, and then come to Yang Shi to find someone who can treat the Nu family wholeheartedly. I think you and your ninth brother are good, so why not stay here with the Nu family together. I won't treat you badly!"

Shu Ming broke out in a deep cold sweat, and quickly shook his head and said, "Ninth Brother, he is innocent, and please, senior, don't make things difficult for him!"

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "If, if senior must find someone to accompany me, then let me stay here to serve senior!"

Anyway, even if he stays here, he can't tell the other party to move nine cents.
