Chapter 807: The Scythe and the Gambling Heart
I have to say that although Ziyu is afraid of death, his brain is still very bright.
He chose this time node to go back, and it happened that in the cell guarding the prisoners, there were not many guards left, and they all went to participate in Chiyuan's birthday ceremony.
There are only one or two guys left in the cell who have not been here for a long time and have relatively little experience.
When the two boys saw such a "big man" as him, they immediately became submissive, and even stammered a little when they spoke.
Since it was a captive sent by Lord Ziyu, the two of them naturally didn't dare to put their beaks, so they honestly chose a secluded corner in the cell, cleaned the room roughly, and brought Jiang Ning and Dong Xun into the two "prisoners" naturally.
The Chiyuan tribe is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and it is heavily guarded. If they forcibly sneak in, it is easy to show their feet, but it doesn't matter if they sneak in as a "captive" openly as they are now, even if someone sees them.
After the two jailers were opened, Ziyu stood on the edge of the cell door and whispered: "Wait for the two of you, after I participate in the birthday ceremony, I will help you find out the news, but the life in this cell is hard, I am not the supervisor here, and it is inconvenient to come here often, so I have to be patient with the two of you." β
Jiang Ning nodded and let him go.
As for things like the so-called cell clearing, now that the small world can be opened, Jiang Ning has already prepared enough food in it in advance to ensure that he and Dong Xun can have sufficient physical strength at all times, as long as they cover up when eating, and don't let those jailers find out in vain.
Waiting for the two jailers to leave, Dong Xun asked slowly and leisurely: "I think that kid is very excited, what we gave him is not a real poison, even if he doesn't notice it on the way, now that he has returned to the tribe, he will definitely find a way to verify, if there is a witch doctor or the like in the tribe, and it can be concluded that there is no toxin in his body, then our situation will be dangerous at that time." β
Jiang Ning glanced at Dong Xun with a smile and said, "This Sword Immortal is such a smart person, how can he do things without leaving a backhand?"
"Oh?" Dong Xun said with some curiosity, "Then you should tell me, what did you leave on that guy?"
"It's actually very simple," Jiang Ning said. The passion pill I gave him did not have any toxins, but there was a true yuan seed that I compressed fifteen times in it, and after the guy swallowed the pill into his abdomen, the true yuan seed would be revealed and attached to the stomach wall of that guy with the digestion of the pill, my technique was special, and the compression of the true yuan was relatively high, so during this period of time, he would feel that his body would occasionally become very heavy and uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, in fact, it was just a periodic contraction of the true yuan seed, even if he found the witch doctor, after the person checked it, and only tell him that there is nothing wrong with his body at all, but, it just so happens that he has always been able to detect that something is wrong, and guess what he will think when the time comes?"
"He definitely won't think that we didn't poison him," Dong Xun glanced at Jiang Ning with a slight surprise, and continued: "On the contrary, he will only think that the witch doctor in the clan is not good at medical skills, and he can't detect abnormalities, so it will make us even more unfathomable, and he will not dare to make mistakes at will." β
"Not only that," Jiang Ning said: "That True Yuan Seed has my meaning Yuan Shen power attached to it, as long as I manipulate the magic trick to pull it, I can make that guy feel uncomfortable at any time, if he really dares to betray us, I can even detonate the True Yuan Seed in his body in the air, and when the time comes, he will definitely die." β
This time, Dong Xun was no longer surprised, she was directly shocked, only to see her eyes widen, staring at Jiang Ning's face, and said, "Your Yuan Shen power can already be released in this world?"
"Hehehe, how can it be so fast," Jiang Ning smiled: "I'm just a coincidence, go back to the small world first, cast the power of the primordial god, and inject it into the hundred incense pill, and then take it out and give it to that guy to eat, if the power of the primordial god can really be released, we don't have to go to great lengths to let that guy bring us in, I am alone, I can detect all the secret sentinels in the Chiyuan tribe, wouldn't it be more convenient for us to sneak in directly?"
Dong Xun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he felt that this guy was simply a smart ghost, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
The power of the Yuan Shen has a characteristic, that is, if it is attached to something, it is very stable, but if it is directly exposed to the external world, if the strength is not enough, it will be annihilated in a short time, which is also the reason why it is more difficult for the Yuan Shen to go out of the body than the true Yuan to be released.
However, Jiang Ning went back and forth between the small world and the outside world, and attached the power of the original Yuan Shen that was not very stable to the Baixiang Pill and brought it out, which avoided the two key problems that the Yuan Shen could not be released and that it was easy to be annihilated after being released, and after that guy ate the thing, his own body became the carrier of Jiang Ning's Yuan Shen power, which was more stable and safe, so that as long as he did not die, the power of the Yuan Shen could only be manipulated by Jiang Ning, after all, even the master of the Chi Yuan tribe who cultivated to kill the second-order demon beast, in this world, was only equivalent to the master of the original world life realm level, he has not yet formed a primordial god at the moment, and he can't detect the extra power in Ziyu's body at all, even if he knows, there is no way to erase it.
Dong Xun originally thought that Jiang Ning was just suffering from the lack of poison at hand, so he played a little trick, but he didn't expect that guy's mind was turning, and in the short time he spoke, he had already seen things seven or eight steps away, and he only felt embarrassed for a while. After all, she was just smiling there, and she didn't think of anything else.
Jiang Ning and Dong Xun chatted with each other first, and Ziyu over there really didn't run outside to participate in Chiyuan's birthday ceremony as he said, but after leaving the cell, he went straight to the only witch doctor in the clan.
After a while, Ziyu sat out of breath in a room in a remote corner of the clan, looking up at the man in front of him, with earnestness, doubt, fear, and a trace of awe and fear for the man in front of him hidden in his heart.
The man was dressed in an old gray linen shirt, with two strings of hemp rope hanging from his chest, one with garlic in a circle, and the other with a chicken head, not the kind of chicken head left by scraping and shaving flesh after death, but a head that had his neck cut off and flesh remaining, but still alive and could even swing back and forth.
Many people know that after the chicken head is cut off from the chicken, it can indeed exist alive for a period of time, but it is obvious that in this man's small room, it is impossible and has never raised so many chickens, so how did he keep those chicken heads alive for several years, it is a question worth thinking about, but about this issue, except for the past generations of witch doctors in the clan, no one knows at all, even Chi Yuan, who is the patriarch, has great trust and respect for the man in front of him, which shows the strength and value of this personγ
"Kama, on the way back from the Lishan tribe, I accidentally ate some unknown fruits because of hunger, and I have been feeling a little uncomfortable along the way," Immediately, he pointed to his stomach and said, "Especially here, I occasionally feel very heavy, and my chest is also very stuffy, please help me to see, is there any major problem with my body, is it poisoned?"
The tall man didn't seem to hear what he was saying, he took out a handful of pale yellow rice grains from his pocket, held the rice grains, and fed the chicken heads casually, only waiting for the chicken heads to peck the rice grains in his hands, and then slowly sat down in front of Ziyu, and his cloudy eyes became sharp in an instant, falling on him, as if to penetrate his whole person, so that his heart gave birth to a sense of panic that the secret was seen through for no reason.
It's just that this feeling quickly disappeared with the man's chaotic eyes, which made Ziyu feel that he had just had a dream.
The old and dignified man, very rarely, did not check his body, nor did he ask about any symptoms, but looked at Ziyu for a long time with a little doubt, then got up, returned to the bamboo curtain, and disappeared into the dark and narrow corridor, leaving only Ziyu who did not know why, sat there in a daze, neither went in nor left, and had to wait there dryly alone, feeling a little cramped and uneasy.
Fortunately, although the sickle master did not come out again after all, after waiting for a while, the voice of the twilight old man who was strong and powerful and did not look like a dying old man finally passed through the deep and dark corridor and entered Ziyu's ears, "Go back, you are not poisoned." β
"Sure enough, that pill is not poisonous at all!" Ziyu was overjoyed in his heart, and there was undisguised excitement in his eyes.
The sickle master is the most respected in the tribe, and the oldest witch doctor with seniority, even the patriarch Chiyuan went out and was injured, and he came back to treat, it is said that although this person has no cultivation at all, but he has lived for nearly three hundred years, that is to say, when the last generation of Chiyuan was not born, he was already the most powerful witch doctor in the tribe, no one knows his origin, and no one knows why such a person would cross thousands of mountains and rivers and come here to become the witch doctor of their tribe, but since he came here to take root, he has saved countless people, unless he is bound to die, there is rarely a situation where he is unable to return to the sky, thereforeAlthough this person behaves strangely and has an even more eccentric temper, not only Ziyu, but all the people in the entire tribe, including the patriarch Chi Yuan, have an almost paranoid trust in his medical skills.
And Jiang Ning obviously underestimated this.
Fortunately, his plan was very thorough, and he had already considered such a small risk.
On the other side, in the prison where the prisoners were held, Dong Xun asked a question that she was more concerned about, "Your plan seems to be seamless, but I think there is still a little problem." β
"Oh, what's the problem?" Jiang Ning chuckled.
Dong Xun frowned and said, "I admit that your arrangement is very precise and interlocking. However, these are just guarantees that if that guy Ziyu dares to betray us, his fate will be miserable, that's all. β
Jiang Ning smiled even more happily, "Isn't this enough?"
"Of course it's not enough. Dong Xun said: "In case the witch doctor in the Chiyuan tribe is highly respected and famous, so that as soon as he said that he was not poisoned, that Ziyu completely believed it, so that he went directly to the Shoudian to find Chiyuan to report and turn his face with us, then, in the end, he will certainly die, but the two of us are also exposed!"
"I've thought about this question before," Jiang Ning said with a smile. I have to say that all the plans can't really be without any flaws, I was able to do this in such a short period of time, and it was already the best choice, if I was given a little more time, I would definitely be able to arrange it better, but unfortunately time waits for no one, so we can only bet on Ziyu's body, betting that even if he believes the words of the witch doctor, he will not go directly to Chiyuan, but come to us to show off his might, or make a final confirmation. β
Jiang Ning said this, and then stopped, because he knew that Dong Xun had already understood.
Sure enough, after looking down and thinking for a while, Dong Xun slightly spit out the breath that was holding in his stomach, and smiled slightly with relief: " With that guy's character of being afraid of death, even if he completely believes in the words of the witch doctor, for the sake of insurance, there is a chance that he will come back to us here for the last confirmation, once he comes back, as long as you use a little means to make him perceive the pain, then no matter how strong his trust in the witch doctor is, it will definitely fall apart, and when the time comes, in order to save his life, he will give up all hope of luck and honestly do things for us, after all, a witch doctor who can't even check out the toxins, expecting him to be able to detoxify, is really a bit of a fantasyγ β
After that, Dong Xun sat quietly on the thatch on the ground in the cell, bent down, supported his elbows on his thighs, supported his chin with both hands, and looked at Jiang Ning for a moment, as if he wanted to see a flower on his face.
In the past few days that the two have been together, Jiang Ning has been seen many times by Dong Xun like a monster, and he has long been used to it, plus this guy is extremely thick-skinned, so he was originally very calm.
It's just that this time, Dong Xun looked at him for a long time, so long that even Jiang Ning was blushing at the moment, and he was a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong, have you taken a fancy to me?" In order to alleviate his embarrassment, Jiang Ning laughed casually: "That's not good, otherwise after I go back, I'm afraid I'll be skinned and torn apart by Lord Yuzun!"
"Ahh
But in fact, it is impossible to say that Dong Xun really doesn't have such a heart for the man in front of him.
It's just that the good medium has been set for thousands of years, and the relationship between her and Jin Yu has a deep foundation of thousands of years, not to mention that the intercession is not far from Jin Jian, and it is far from being easily shaken by such a throbbing from the heart at the moment.
That person can give up her life for her, or she can give up her life for that person.
The so-called two-hearted promise, the so-called love, is not because you fall in love with a person, you will not be moved by other people's hearts at all, but at the moment of heartbeat, you understand that you should stop at the beginning, for yourself, for that person, and keep the bottom line.
Although Dong Xun is very arrogant on the surface, when the good relationship was first decided thousands of years ago, she had already determined that the golden man, no matter who she met in the future, no matter how tempting she was, she would never deviate from the original intention at that time.
If there is really any regret that can't even be called regret, it's just that I couldn't meet the man in front of me before I met Jin Yu, otherwise, maybe the moment is a different situation.
Of course, this kind of regret is just a flash at the moment of heartbeat, and then laughed at it, as if it had never happened.
Looking back on tens of millions of years, tens of millions of worlds, hundreds of millions of human beings, there are those who have cultivated and those who have not, compared to the kind of feelings that are completely absolute, have no distractions, and cannot tolerate any flaws, Dong Xun feels that it is probably his own mental journey, which is more real, but she does not have too much guilt for Jin Yu, because she knows that she is probably the same for that person.
And Jiang Ning, who was exquisitely thoughtful, saw that when she said it casually, the girl was actually in deep thought, and she only felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and she seemed to faintly notice some signs of something bad, and after thinking about it, she secretly scolded herself for being too amorous, but she secretly decided in her heart that in the future, if she could not show her face in front of this woman, she would try to behave mediocre. He didn't want to go back to the Blood Moon and have a misunderstanding with Yuzun because of some messy things.
Moreover, now, decades have passed, and he has long lost the throbbing love of his youth, except for the four women who have been together, he has long wanted to be contaminated and has no interest in contaminating any feelings.
No matter how good Dong Xun is, it is enough for him to have a poor girl to care about.
Not long after the two of them had their own thoughts, and the atmosphere of the originally lively chat suddenly cooled down, the door of the cell where the prisoners were held was suddenly kicked open, and the two little jailers who were napping at the door of the cell were half shocked.
In the cell at the end of the corner of the corridor, Jiang Ning and Dong Xun glanced at each other and understood what the other party meant.
Obviously, Ziyu is really back.
