said. “等会儿你把那印章丢进江里,事情就算办完了。”刘巡守道。 „Is so simple?” Gu Qingshan asked. “这么简单？”顾青山问。 „Possibly some water monsters will be alarmed, if really has, that must look at your skill.” Patrolling Guard Liu said. “可能会有些水怪被惊动,万一真的有,那就要看你的本事了。”刘巡守道。 He gives Gu Qingshan that seal, then goes to a distance toward behind to Log-Out / withdraw. 他将那印章递给顾青山,然后朝后面退出去一段距离。 Gu Qingshan receives looked, sees only on

the heart to have doubts. 顾青山望向刘巡守,问出心中疑惑。 Patrolling Guard Liu shouts by far: „What's wrong?” 刘巡守远远喊道:“怎么了？” Gu Qingshan also shouts: „This above has two characters!” 顾青山也喊道:“这上面有两个字！” Patrolling Guard Liu shouts: „What written is what?” 刘巡守喊道:“写的是什么？” Gu Qingshan was just about saying that suddenly in the heart moved. 顾青山正要说,忽然心中一动。 This seal was preserved by Patrolling Guard Liu, just now takes, on the seal haven't two characters toward him, he been seeing? 这印章一路被刘巡守保存,刚才拿出来的时候,印章上两个字正朝着他,难道他没看见？ Said- 还是说- Gu Qingshan runs, gives Patrolling Guard Liu the seal: „You looked, above has two characters.” 顾青山一路小跑回去,将印章递给刘巡守:“你看,上面有两个字。” Patrolling Guard Liu narrows the eyes to focus saying: „Truly is two characters, my look is not good, what that this writes?” 刘巡守眯着眼道:“确实是两个字,我眼神不好,这写的什么？” The Gu Qingshan heart has a feeling, immediately says: „Discontented brother, I grows up in the mountain village, has not known the character.” 顾青山心有所感,立刻道:“不满老哥,我在山村长大,没识过字。” Patrolling Guard Liu as if relaxes, said: „All right, I too did not know.” 刘巡守似乎松了口气,也道:“没事,我也不太认识。” This was awkward. 这就尴尬了。 Two people one static, each other looks

heart the surging innumerable thoughts, continue saying: „This first character I see others to read, probably nine, the second character does not know.” 顾青山心中涌起无数念头,继续道:“这第一个字我见别人念过,好像是九,第二个字就不知道了。” Patrolling Guard Liu pats the thigh, said suddenly: „I was clear, since the first character is nine, the second character inevitably is a level ground.” 刘巡守一拍大腿,恍然道:“那我清楚了,既然第一个字是九,第二个字必然是坪。” „Why is a level ground?” “为什么是坪？” „Because under our county only has named nine square meters town, other villages and small towns do not have nine this characters.” “因为我们县城下面只有一个叫九坪的镇子,其他村镇都没有九这个字。” He also urged Gu Qingshan say: „Ok, you first handled matters, then I told you.” 他又催促顾青山道:“行了,你先办事,然后我跟你讲。” Gu Qingshan is unable, to take the seal to arrive at the riverside, then looks toward Patrolling Guard Liu. 顾青山无法,只得拿着印章走到河边,一路回头朝刘巡守望去。 Looks at his appearance, as if prepares to escape at any time. 看他的样子,似乎随时准备逃跑。 In the Gu Qingshan heart becomes doubtful, takes the seal, puts out a hand to throw toward the river. 顾青山心中犯嘀咕,拿着印章,伸手就朝河中一抛。 Thump! 咕咚！ The seal sinks to the water, vanishes quickly does not see. 印章沉入水中,很快消失不见。 The river water boils like the boiling water of boiling. 河水像煮沸的开水一样沸腾。 A head length the murrels of six eyes are floating off from the water, to/clashes speedily toward Gu Qingshan. 一头长着六只眼睛的黑鱼从水中浮起,朝顾青山疾速冲来。 On the long bow explodes a thunderclap. 长弓上炸起一声霹雳。 in a split second, arrows has hit the murrel, rumbles to fly it in the midair. 霎时间,箭矢已经击中黑鱼,将它轰飞在半空。 Gu Qingshan shakes the long bow, hand like afterimage, machine-gun shoots dozens arrows. 顾青山将长弓一抖,手如残影,连珠炮似的射出去数十箭。 These arrows delimit the sad and shrill arc in the midair, one after another inserts in six items of murrel, then spreads the whole body. 那些箭矢在半空划出凄厉弧形,纷纷插在黑鱼的六目上,然后遍及全身。

鱼尸随着江水渐渐漂远。 Gu Qingshan is standing in the waterfront, left returned to the god. 顾青山在江边站着,出了回儿神。 Massacres this fish, making him recall many things. 杀掉这条鱼,让他又记起不少事情。 The speed that this time, memory restores was faster several points. 这一次,记忆恢复的速度更快了几分。 Therefore besides deceiving people, oneself is a killer? 所以除了骗人之外,自己还是个杀手？ He thought a while, receives the bow, turns around to walk toward Patrolling Guard Liu. 他想了一会儿,收起弓,转身朝刘巡守走去。 „Brother Liu, just now that seal what's the matter?” He asked. “刘老哥,刚才那印章是怎么回事？”他问道。 Patrolling Guard Liu has a look at his face calm appearance, has a look at his back quivering. 刘巡守看看他一脸淡定的样子,又看看他背后的箭筒。 Quivered has emptied. 箭筒已经空了。 A breath time, he unexpectedly in quivering 42 arrows all shot clean. 一息功夫,他竟把箭筒中的四十二支箭矢全都射了个一干二净。 Patrolling Guard Liu gasps in admiration saying: „Brother fine athlete- that seal is the royal government issues, every other time will send to the county, mainly uses to guard locates Five Elements respectively.” 刘巡守叹服道:“老弟好身手-那印章是朝廷下发的,每隔一段时间就会发到县城来,主要用以镇守各处五行。” „On that seal is carving ‚nine square meters’, is to issue nine square meters town/subdues?” Gu Qingshan asked. “那印章上刻着‘九坪’,是不是要发给九坪镇的？”顾青山问。 „Very much so, so long as there is a seal, the town will be reduced by the possibility of monster attack.” Patrolling Guard Liu said. “正是如此,只要有了印章,镇子被怪物袭击的可能性就会降低一些。”刘巡守道。 „Do why you make me throw in the river the seal?” “那为何你让我把印章丢江里去？” „Because of nine square meters town/subdues already not existed.” “因为九坪镇已经不存在了。” „...... Why?” “……为什么？” Patrolling Guard Liu sighed, said: „At night the day before yesterday, that town/subdues had been attacked by monster, only then a less than half person lived.” 刘巡守叹了口气,说:“前天夜里,那个镇已经被怪物袭击,只有一小半人活了下来。” „Why can that this seal throw in the river?” Gu Qingshan asked. “那这印章为什么要丢河里？”顾青山问。 „Although town already not existed, but the seal also has to comfort the function of Five Elements, happen to defends the rivers on county direction, to guarantee the security of county.” Patrolling Guard Liu said. “虽然镇子已经不存在了,但印章却还有安抚五行的作用,正好守住县城这个方向上的河流,以保证县城的安全。”刘巡守道。 „Since also some people live, why doesn't deliver the seal to protect them?” Gu Qingshan asked. “既然还有人活下来,为什么不送印章去保护他们？”顾青山问。 „Naturally is the security of county is more important, Brother.” Patrolling Guard Liu natural say/way. “当然是县城的安全更重要啊,老弟。”刘巡守理所当然的道。 Gu Qingshan nods, has not spoken again. 顾青山点点头,没再说话。 Two people return to the city quickly. 两人很快回了城。 Patrolling Guard Liu first reported the entire process, Gu Qingshan was then called again. 刘巡守先去报告了整个过程,然后顾青山再次被唤了进去。 „Patrolling Guard Gu, what your does have to harvest?” The county magistrates asked with a smile. “顾巡守,你这一趟下来有什么收获？”县令笑着问道。 „This matter is very simple, later such matter I alone went to be OK and ensure cannot have problems.” Gu Qingshan say. “这种事很简单,以后这样的事我一个人去就可以了,保证不会出问题。”顾青山道。 „Good!” The county magistrates approved one, said: „Patrolling Guard Gu, later you every five days, then go out of town various places to release seal- matter handled, the entire county will be safe, here has your advantage.” “好！”县令赞了一声,道:“顾巡守,以后你每隔五日,便出城去各处释放印章-事情办好了,整个县城就会安全,我这里有你的好处。” „Yes, Sir.” Gu Qingshan say. “是,大人。”顾青山道。 ...... …… Gu Qingshan returns to the own courtyard. 顾青山回到自己的院子。 He boiled the pot tea to oneself, sits under the tree, drinks tea while thinks. 他给自己烹了壶茶,坐在树下,一边喝茶一边思索。 At this time, his memory majority came back, only remained the last time matter unable to think. 这时候,他的记忆大部分都回来了,只剩最后一段时间的事情想不起来。 After defeating Soul Whistler, what did oneself experience? 打败灵魂尖啸者之后,自己又经历了什么？ Gu Qingshan thinks with hardship. 顾青山苦苦思索。 A double-hour passes by. 一个时辰过去。 The tea is cool, but he still cannot recall that later matter. 茶已经凉了,但他依然记不起那之后的事情。 Without the means. 没有办法。 It seems like must do the oneself familiar matter, can restore memory. 看来还是得做自己熟悉的事,才可以恢复记忆。 But is kills, deceives one crowd? 但到底是杀一场,还是骗一群？ This is an issue. 这是个问题。 Gu Qingshan recalls these words that Patrolling Guard Liu spoke suddenly, cannot bear sigh. 顾青山忽然回忆起刘巡守说的那些话,忍不住叹了口气。 He took out that black orchid. 他取出了那朵黑色兰花。
