45. Black Sky Sect
Some of those who drank the "holy water" quickly weakened. The corpses and the people who were still alive were dragged away by the black-clothed men in charge of guarding them, and they burned clean in the valley not far away, and the billowing smoke was mixed with two weak screams.
The rest continue to be forced to pour "holy water" every day. The more you get to the back, the color of the "holy water" becomes lighter, and the bitter taste that was originally unacceptable gradually decreases. After a few days, the so-called "holy water" has become almost colorless and odorless, and it will reflect seven light colors in natural light, which is really like a holy object in people's imagination. Gradually, the people who were originally detained in this small valley with Su Yao jumped into fewer and fewer places. Some of them were weakened to death, while others were alive but became sluggish, like manipulated puppets. The former was thrown into the fire and burned, while the latter was taken away by the pretty woman and turned into one of the men in black.
Su Yao knew that although she only looked a little weak on the outside, she had actually been hollowed out on the inside. She was also born in a family, and she has cultivated for a period of time, although she has not built a foundation, but the realm of condensation is still there. It's just that the "holy water" she drinks every day has long since exhausted her cultivation, and even cultivators can't resist these "holy water", which shows how terrible it is.
"Yo, you're still alive." The pretty woman with the black gauze stood in front of Su Yao for the last time.
And Su Yao was so weak that he could only lean on a piece of dead wood, sitting there paralyzed, and he couldn't even lift his hands. She could only watch the woman come to Su Pu's side, take a bowl of colorless and tasteless things from the man in black behind her, pinch Su Pu's chin, and pour it down little by little.
"This last bowl was meant for you, but now it looks like you're going to die, and you won't need it. In order not to waste the gifts of the gods, give them to your son. When the pretty woman let go of her hand, Su Pu was almost stunned by her. She raised her hand and threw the medicine bowl aside, and suddenly smiled, "When the Holy Sect spreads throughout the Great State, God will thank you for your dedication." ”
That almost crazy, malicious smile was frozen in Su Yao's mind.
The woman left with the men in black, and the barren valley full of mountains and wilderness was no longer alive. Su Yao looked at her son, who had fallen asleep after being drugged, but she didn't even have the strength to cry, so she could only look at the gray sky sadly, despair was about to meet her death.
"Probably I died with great resentment, and after my death my soul did not disperse, but was trapped in that valley. I was comforted by the fact that a monk with a very high level of cultivation passed through the valley and saved Pu'er's life. But later, although he kindly sent Pu'er back to the Su family, he never thought that in just three years, Pu'er was killed again. Su Yao said this, his words full of despair and sorrow, "So I hate them, and I don't want to go to the netherworld for ten years." Ten years later, someone suddenly came to that continuous valley. He set up a circle in the valley and lured all the evil spirits that wandered in the valley into one place, and let us compete and devour each other in it. It was because my resentment was too strong, and in the end, among these resentful ghosts, I became the dominant consciousness for them. Later, Su Chengjing has already told you about it - the Taoist priest set up a bureau and deceived Su Chengjing into offering the Seven Killing Monument in the Su Mansion, and when the time comes, the Seven Killing Monument has been completed, I will kill all the well-dressed beasts of the Su family to take revenge. ”
Gu Ziyan had a flash of inspiration in his mind and asked, "That Taoist priest is in the same group as that group of black-clothed people?" ”
"That's right, so I'm bound by him, and I can't seek revenge on the women and the people in black. Moreover, the Taoist priest also laid a sacrificial spell, so that those who were killed by me would become sacrifices of the Black Heaven Sect. Su Yao paused when he said this, as if he was waiting for Gu Ziyan's reply.
"So, you want me to go to the men in black for revenge?"
"Not only that, but the 'holy water' that the Black Heaven Sect fed us at that time was actually a medicine that could control people. However, this medicine is very unstable, and some people will die of exhaustion after taking it, and cultivators will develop a certain resistance to these medicines. That's why they arrested our family, and there were other people who came to test the medicine and constantly improve the 'holy water'. I think that now that the Black Heaven Sect has made a special trip to find that Taoist priest, it must have been planning something after spending so much effort. ”
"I'll do my best to look into this...... But I went down this time because I had something to do, and I can't give you any guarantees. "Although what the Black Heaven Sect has done is hateful, Gu Ziyan is a very cautious person, and he may not be able to accomplish this matter, so he will not boast about Haikou.
Su Yao didn't say anything more this time, and did sigh lamentingly, which made Gu Ziyan feel a little sad in his heart.
"Wake up, she's already back." As soon as his hand was cold, Gu Ziyan opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that his hand had been removed from the golden tripod by Yin Bei. And Yin Bei's eyes seemed to be a little flustered: "You have been communicating with ghosts for too long, be careful of yourself." ”
Originally, I didn't feel that when Yin Bei said this, Gu Ziyan suddenly felt that he was really uncomfortable. The palm of the hand that covered the golden Xiaoding just now was already cold, different from the ordinary cold, he could feel a cold aura lingering in the palm of his hand, which was probably accidentally contaminated just now. No wonder Yin Bei wanted to remove his hand just now, even if Su Yao didn't have any malice at this time, but after all, Yin and Yang had long been separated, and too long contact would do all kinds of harm to the living.
Instead, Yin Li walked over, took a look at his palm, and said, "It's not too strict, if you bask in the sun more, this yin qi will naturally be dispelled." ”
This review Ziyan was relieved: "The matter of Su Mansion is temporarily settled, I remember that we still have a mission, which is to investigate the plague near Biluo City?" If there's nothing else to do, why don't you go out and check it out today? ”
"Oh, that's the thing." Hearing him say this, Yin Li said, "Senior Sister Lin and a few others have already gone to investigate this matter yesterday, Senior Brother Baishu said that he doesn't worry about you, plus he has to help guard the Su Mansion for the time being, so a few of us stayed in the mansion, preparing to wait for them to come back and deal with this matter." ”
This time it's really their own work, Gu Ziyan thought to himself.
When it was almost dark, Lin Chuxia and his party came back.
At this time, Gu Ziyan was having dinner in the dining room of the guest room, the Su family was worthy of being a big family, although there were no high-end ingredients containing aura, but the cooking skills of the chefs in the house were definitely among the best in Biluo City. In particular, some of Cangtianzhou's special dim sum are very much in line with Gu Ziyan's appetite.
As soon as he came to Biluo City, he encountered strange things one after another, and he didn't officially eat a meal for three or four days. Although it is said that with his current cultivation in the foundation building period, he will be fine if he is hungry for a few days, but as a foodie who is used to being fed three meals and desserts, eating has become one of Gu Ziyan's few entertainment activities. So at this time, he leaned back on the back of the chair very casually and leisurely bit the delicate snack in his hand.
"A person who is obviously cultivating the truth, but he is so greedy for appetite, hum!" When Luo Nianjin passed by the dining room, he coldly glanced at the many exquisite dishes and pastries in front of Gu Ziyan, obviously very disdainful of his behavior.
Gu Ziyan was not only not annoyed, but smiled back, and picked up another piece of acacia cake: "If you always eat Bigu Dan, then life is too boring." It's hard to go down the mountain, and you always have to try something new, so it's worth the trip. ”
"That's what you're pursuing." Luo Nianjin sneered.
Swallowing the last piece of pastry, Gu Ziyan licked his lips and said, "So what?" Even if I don't have any pursuits in your mouth, I'm not necessarily worse than you, am I? On the Qingyun list that day, Gu Ziyan had already won the top spot, and Luo Nianjin was only a dozen. Even if she wanted to mock Gu Ziyan, it would not be her turn to say this.
Luo Nianjin thought about it for a while, and knew what Gu Ziyan meant, and he was suddenly angry and ashamed, but he couldn't find anything to refute. He could only stomp his feet angrily, turned around and left, letting Gu Ziyan get as far away from his sight as possible.
This guy is really the same as Senior Sister Lin said, he has poor qualifications but is cunning, which is really annoying. Such a person can actually worship under the Mo Ji Sect who never accepts apprentices, and can also learn the most wonderful set of sword techniques of Taihua Immortal Sect "Breaking Immortal Life", there must be something dirty in it.
Thinking about it in her heart, Luo Nianxue believed Lin Chuxia's words a little bit in her heart.
Gu Ziyan didn't bother to ask about their going out, Bai Shu saw that Lin Chuxia was also upset, and in the end, this arduous task naturally fell on the two brothers and sisters of the Yin family. After all, they are also disciples on Canglong Peak, and they have no special contradictions with Lin Chuxia, so it is more convenient to ask about things. And Gu Ziyan sat where he was, concentrating his energy to listen, and he could also hear seven or eight points of content.
"Senior Sister Lin, did you find anything when you went out this time?"
Although Lin Chuxia was dissatisfied with the two sisters and brothers of the Yin family standing on Gu Ziyan's side, he still replied with a smile on his face at this time: "There is indeed a plague outside the city, but it has been contained now, and most of the infected people have been treated. I believe that it will not be long before this plague will end, so there is no need for us to meddle in this matter. ”
"Huh? Didn't you say before that this time the plague was very fierce, and the source could not be found, so the Xishan faction would ask for help from the Taihua Immortal Sect? Yin Li was surprised.
"But when we looked at it, there was already a group of people distributing medicines and providing food and water to those infected with the plague. We asked a few people, and they said that these people were disciples of the Black Heaven Sect, and that those who had the plague had been getting better after taking the medicine they had given, and many of them had been cured. The male disciple of Canglong Peak, who was following Lin Chuxia's side, said.
"Yes, looking at the surrounding situation, it has also begun to improve. I asked them if they needed help, but they said they didn't need it because they had enough people and supplies. By the way, they also gave us some medicine for the plague to take some so that we would not get infected. Canglong Peak's male disciple Er also added.
Gu Ziyan, who was listening to them from afar, suddenly chuckled in his heart: These idiots, won't they just drink the medicine!
