Lu Cheng threw a small glass bottle to Hu Jingzhong, and followed silently.

Zhang Tianshou and Zheng Zhi glanced at each other, but they could only glance at Bai Xiu and Chang'an Cliff fiercely, and left quickly.

Hu Jingzhong and Ji Nian looked at each other, originally they thought that Jiang Yi would anger them, Tu Chang'an was full of cliffs, but they didn't expect her to leave by herself.

Seeing that Bai Xiu's face was pale, Lin Xiaoice said with concern: "Let's go back and rest first." ”

Bai Xiu went back to the wooden building with him, Qu Lian had already woken up, and was lying at the window looking at him, he only felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he didn't know anything in front of him.

When he awoke, it was nightfall, and through the window he could see the sky full of dark clouds, as if a storm was coming.

Qu Lian slept soundly on the bed on the side, his heart was soft, he tucked the blanket for her, turned around and pushed the door out.

It happened that Hu Jingzhong also came out of the room, and he smiled: "Brother Bai, this time it is really thanks to you that our Chang'an Cliff escaped a catastrophe." ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do. ”

Bai Xiu knew the truth of long nights and dreams, and was about to ask Zang Wei's whereabouts directly, but Ji Nian came out from behind Hu Jingzhong and said with a smile: "Master, I'm cooking, let's talk about something slowly while eating." ”

"It's fine. Hu Jingzhong pointed to the stone table in the bamboo forest, "Just put the food there, it just so happened that your senior brother brought a bag of tea leaves, and it was the most fragrant to boil with the water in the well." ”

At the mention of Lin Xiaoice, Bai Xiu asked him curiously: "Has Xiaoice gone down the mountain?"

Hu Jingzhong smiled: "You didn't wake up, he didn't want to leave, but he wants to go back to take care of his grandmother, so he can only come back tomorrow." ”

Bai Xiu didn't care, and followed them into the bamboo forest.

After a while, Ji Nian came over with food, he didn't sit down with them, he just made a fire to cook tea on the side, watching him fiddle with the teapot unfamiliarly, Bai Xiu had a strange feeling in his heart for no reason.

He was pondering, Hu Jingzhong raised his chopsticks and personally gave him the cloth: "Come and try Xiao Nian's craftsmanship, it's not bad." ”

Bai Xiu hurriedly stopped: "Mr. Hu is too polite, I'll come by myself." ”

He picked up a piece of bamboo shoot and tasted it, it was extremely fragrant and crispy, and it was really a little hot, he was secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't look like a person who often cooked, this skill was really good, it seemed that cooking and cooking tea were two different things.

He casually wanted to praise a few words, and just used this to open the conversation to listen to the news, but the master and apprentice were obviously a little absent-minded, and they responded indiscriminately, and they fell into a situation where they had nothing to say.

After eating in silence, Ji Nian also made tea and brought it over.

Hu Jingzhong drank tea, and finally talked more, Guo Baixiu obviously felt that compared to Hu Jingzhong, Ji Nian's expression was a little unnatural.

However, his attention was not here, and now he finally found an opportunity, so he asked decisively: "Mr. Hu, I don't know if our previous agreement counts?"

Hu Jingzhong's expression flashed, and he smiled: "If you save our master and apprentice, I am naturally obligated to do my niece's affairs, but ...... You know, that man has been traveling all year round, and it will take a few days to find him. ”

Bai Xiu was quite helpless, but Hu Jingzhong said so, and he didn't want to be too aggressive, otherwise it would inevitably be a little aggressive.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hu. ”

Hu Jingzhong heard the words but smiled silently, and signaled Ji Nian to add tea to Bai Xiu, and then raised the teacup: "We have met once and it is not a shallow fate, come and come, the foolish brother will replace the wine with tea, and toast you." ”

Bai Xiu was in a heavy mood, and he had no intention of drinking tea, but it was not good to brush off his kindness, so he drank the tea in one go.

After talking for a while, Bai Xiu was about to leave under the pretext, and just stood up, not wanting a trace of colic to suddenly surge up from his heart.

Could it be that there is something wrong with Jiang Yin's palm?! He staggered down, and was about to concentrate on it, when a flash of spiritual light flashed, and he suddenly looked up at Hu Jingzhong and Ji Nian, and they really showed a smug smile on their faces.

"You poisoned the tea...... he knew in his heart, "no wonder Ji Nian obviously didn't know how to cook tea, and you drove ducks to the shelves." ”

"It seems that you have already noticed that something is wrong, but you never thought that we would poison you, right?"

Hu Jingzhong got up suddenly, "Hehe, Xiao Nian naturally doesn't know how to cook tea, and even this meal was bought from the bottom of the mountain, if you don't act seriously, how can you drink it defenselessly?"

He looked at Bai Xiu condescendingly: "You must be thinking, why are we okay when the two of us also drank tea?"

It's very simple, because Xiao Nian changed the teacup when you weren't paying attention, his hand was no slower than Lu Cheng, so you naturally couldn't notice it, as for why I wanted you to die, you know better in your heart, right?"

"Because you are poor. ”

"No, no, no, it's not because I'm poor, but because Zang died twenty years ago. ”

Facing Bai Xiu's sharp gaze, Hu Jingzhong was still determined, "Why do you want me to make a promise that can never be fulfilled? I have always been trustworthy, and now I have no choice but to kill you!"

"In fact, the efficacy of the Hehe Yin-Yang Plate is not different from the legend, but the Hehe Yin-Yang Plate in Hu Jingzhong's hand is fake, while the one in Zang Weiqiang's hand is real. Bai Xiu looked at him calmly.

"And the whereabouts of Zang Weiqi are exposed, and the real harmony yin and yang plate will also be made public, 'Pifu is not guilty, but he is guilty', and he will face more than just the Jiang family. ”

Hu Jingzhong looked stunned.

"That's right, people have desires, money, power, power are the things they strive for, life is the foundation of all this, when a person has all of the above, then his next goal should be-

Eternal life.

And the harmony of the yin and yang plate can bring the dissipated soul back to life, not to mention the living dead, flesh and bones, as long as you can get it, some people rush to it, how can I share such a thing with others?

Therefore, everyone who looks for Zang Wei's poverty has to die, and you are no exception......" His gaze gradually became gloomy, "Brother Bai, don't blame me for being vengeful and ruthless, I can live until now by relying on it." ”

With a flicker of madness in his eyes, he jerked out the scythe at his waist, but before he could swing the knife down, the muscles in his face twitched, his hands trembled, and in less than three seconds he fell bleeding from all his knots

"Tea! Xiao Nian, you, you ......" His face was hideous, Huo Ran turned around, but saw that Ji Nian also fell to the ground, and he was already unconscious after a while.

"What's going on?!" he struggled to his feet, sniffed the teapot, looked at the well again, and said incredulously, "Someone poisoned the well, how could this ......"

The familiar symptoms made Bai Xiu's heart startled, and when the other party mentioned the well water, a chill climbed onto his back, and after he realized what this meant, his body trembled slightly as if he had been electrified.

I see.

Seeing his reaction like this, Hu Jingzhong misunderstood what he meant: "Sure enough, it was you who did it, I knew that you, the demon who kills people without blinking, is not so kind at all, it turns out that you want to poison us to swallow the Yin and Yang Plate alone!"

"......" As his thoughts flickered, Bai Xiu simply took his words, "I'm not interested in it, but if you can't help me, I have to reluctantly accept it." ”

"You!" Hu Jingzhong glared angrily, but then laughed, "Hmph, you have also been poisoned by me, it's a big deal that we will die together!"

Bai Xiu pointed at Ji Nian with his eyes: "We can wait here for death slowly, but unfortunately his skills are still shallow, I dare to guarantee that he will die in less than three minutes." ”

Hu Jingzhong's expression changed and changed, he naturally had deep feelings for this little disciple who had been brought up since he was a child, how could he watch Ji Nian die in Huangquan.

His hesitation Bai Xiu saw it in his eyes, and took the opportunity to say: "I'm really not interested in the Hehe Yin and Yang Plate, I just hope that you can save Qu Lian, and the previous words will count, and when you save her, I will let you deal with it." ”

Hu Jingzhong thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay, it doesn't hurt to tell you, you don't need to reconcile the yin and yang plate to save the female doll, you just need to go to the cliff in the back mountain to pick a 'yin shenghu' and feed her to eat." ”

"It's that simple?" Bai Xiu couldn't believe it.

Hu Jingzhong smiled wryly: "That's the place blessed by our ancestors of Chang'an Cliff, if the spirit doesn't work, you will know if you try it, it's a big deal that you can also learn from Miss Jiang, give us half of the antidote first, and then give the other half after the matter is completed." ”

Bai Xiu had no other choice: "Of course I believe in Mr. Hu. ”

He picked up the other party's sickle and cut his fingers, dripped blood into the tea, and handed it to Hu Jingzhong: "Mr. Hu, I am also helpless, offended." ”

"Hmph. ”

Hu Jingzhong drank half of the blood water in the tea bowl, and then fed it to Ji Nian, then looked at Bai Xiu with a sneer, "It turns out that the antidote is in your blood, no wonder my poison that sealed your throat with blood can't help you, this time I don't complain, I didn't expect you to hide a hand......"

Bai Xiu smiled bitterly, stood up and was about to leave, but Hu Jingzhong suddenly spoke again.

"You guessed wrong before, my harmony yin and yang plate is real, what kind of resurrection is just a gimmick of charlatans, haven't you young people found out that the figure is actually Lu Cheng secretly doing something?

Hehe, I've deceived so many people, I don't know how to play such a trick? What kind of eternal life, it's not in vain to live clearly and see clearly in this life!"

"I can see it, how can I see it......" Bai Xiu muttered to herself, and when she returned to the room, Qu Lian was standing by the bed with a dull gaze, obviously waking up a long time ago.

"Pity, you'll be back soon. He walked over, crouched down and looked at her, then picked her up on his back and went out in silence.

The cliff that Hu Jingzhong said was not far from Chang'an Cliff, and soon he witnessed its mysterious true appearance.

In fact, it's not much different from an ordinary cliff, except that it's steeper, and the strong roots are dotted among the craggy rocks, telling a bit of sadness.

Bai Xiu looked up and stared for a few seconds, and saw that the sky was lowering, and the light rain finally fell.

He found Yin Shenghu's location, carried Qu Lian under a tree, and said to her, "You wait for me here, and I'll be back soon." ”

Qu Lian's eyes finally fluctuated, but his gaze was still a little stagnant.

Bai Xiu didn't care, and cautiously climbed towards the top of the cliff, but he was already injured and was a little physically exhausted halfway through the climb, but he didn't stop until he stepped on the air under his feet, rolled and fell.

Blood stained his cheeks red, but he seemed to feel nothing, and slowly stood up and climbed up again.

This was repeated, and soon his hands were broken, and his feet were a little lame, but his gaze was still stubbornly on the top of the cliff.

Boom –

A muffled thunder exploded in the sky, and Bai Xiu staggered to his feet, dragging his body towards the cliff step by step.

"Don't, don't go. Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from behind him, her tone was very strange, like a baby who had just learned to speak, struggling and staggering to spit out the words.

Bai Xiu didn't look back, and let that little embrace hold him tightly.

She seemed to be crying—Qu Lian's tears were hot, very different from the cold rain, so he couldn't be mistaken—buried her face in his scarred back, and choked up.

"Brother Bai, you know, right? I'm not sick, an uncle told me that as long as I pretend to be like this, my mother will be good to me, and then my mother left, I was reluctant to let you go, so I continued to pretend. ”

Bai Xiu lowered his head: "That child, Xiao Zou, and the well in Chang'an Cliff are all poisoned by you?"

Qu Lian replied in a low voice: "They are not good to you, I want to teach them a lesson......"

"So, the 'antidote' I took beforehand was also quietly placed in my meal by you?" he smiled.

"Since I can kill them, then there must be someone who will kill Brother Bai, I want Brother Bai to accompany me forever. ”

She nodded timidly, and then sobbed and spoke, "I always knew that I was not Brother Bai's sister Fang Xin, that uncle told me quietly, he said that if you know the truth, you will definitely not live, I have to lie to you with him." ”

Bai Xiu slowly turned his head to look at her, feeling dazed in his heart.

He didn't know if that silly Qu Lian was real, or if the thoughtful girl in front of him was real, or if it wasn't at all.

But there is no doubt that she has no connection with Fang Xin.

Yes, a soul has come to an end with fate, and naturally it has already returned to heaven and earth, and there is nothing in the world that comes back to life, and it is just his self-deception from beginning to end.
