26. XXVI

Wan Sheng is a person who is very defensive of people, he did not tell Su Xian where he went, but Su Xian could vaguely guess it.

After saving Wan Sheng by the river, Su Xian once kindly thought about where Wan Sheng would go in the future to avoid being chased by others. She mentioned to Wan Sheng four places that seemed to her safest, one of which Wan Sheng said was too boring to consider, and another was ethereal and difficult to find, I am afraid that she would not be able to go, and there was a fishing town on the shore of the abyss of the Seven Seas in the extreme south, which was a good place for peace. Wan Sheng once said that if he hadn't been poisoned by his body, he might have chosen to go to that town for the rest of his life.

But Su Xian knew that that town would not be Wan Sheng's last place.

Wan Sheng's real place should be the fourth place he hadn't even mentioned, and that place was Butterfly Valley, not far south of Frost City.

That place used to be a very dangerous place, the Butterfly Valley used to be a place where the sect used poison lived, the valley was often filled with poison, colorful poisonous smoke shrouded in it, even though many people knew that the sect had long been wiped out, and there was no one in the valley, but still no one dared to enter.

But Su Xian knew that those colorful smoke were not actually poisonous, when he fled with Chu Qingjiu, Su Xian had strayed into those poison arrays, but the two of them were not invaded by poison, thinking that those poisonous smokes were just deceiving people. Su Xian told Wan Sheng about this, but Wan Sheng didn't mention a word about Butterfly Valley, and at that time, Su Xian only thought that Wan Sheng didn't listen to her words, and didn't say more.

Thinking about it now, Wan Sheng is afraid that at that time, he had already thought of a way out for himself and made up his mind.

Thinking of this, Su Xian took Feng Yaochu, and the two of them quickly rushed outside the Butterfly Valley.

The colorful poisonous smoke was still spreading in the woods outside the Butterfly Valley, Feng Yaochu frowned and shook out a fan out of nowhere, covered his mouth and nose with the fan and said, "Are you sure these fogs are really not poisonous?" ”

Su Xian made a serious thought and said, "I wasn't poisonous when I came last time, and I don't know if it's poisonous this time." ”

Feng Yaochu: "......"

After Su Xian said this, he walked towards the mist, Feng Yaochu shouted with an ugly face behind him, Su Xian still didn't stop, Feng Yaochu hesitated for a moment and still chased after him.

The colored mist made their field of vision extremely small, Su Xian had to hold Xiao Chu's hand to prevent her from losing herself, and Feng Yaochu also followed closely behind Su Xian one step at a time. The breath between the two was no different from usual, this mist was really not poisonous, Feng Yaochu breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly passed through this misty forest under the guidance of Su Xian.

The further they went, the thinner the fog became, and in a short time all the fog vanished, and what appeared before the two of them was a beautiful valley.

Although it is autumn, the valley is like a warm spring, the water is murmuring, the flowers bloom by the stream, and the colorful butterflies are shuttling and lingering among the flowers, which is exactly the name of the butterfly valley.

This is indeed a place for seclusion.

"I didn't expect this to be the scenery in Butterfly Valley." Feng Yaochu was stunned and couldn't help but praise.

Su Xian raised her eyes to look into the valley, and there were several huts standing at the end of the stream in the distance, the same situation as the last time she came, but it didn't seem to be the case.

The exterior of the hut is in tatters, but the innermost room has some medicinal herbs outside, and it looks like it is inhabited. Su Xian threw a glance at Feng Yaochu, and the two walked towards the house.

Surprisingly, when they carefully pushed open the door of the house, they saw no one.

The house was cleaned up, and there were a lot of things that should have been, and it really didn't look like it had been abandoned for many years. Feng Yaochu frowned and looked at it for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The tea on the table was still just poured, and the man ran away." ”

"Didn't run, we came from outside, how is he going to run outside?" Su Xian said casually. Feng Yaochu's expression was frozen, and he suddenly closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, then walked to the wall on the side of the room.

He looked at a dent in the wall, and was about to raise his hand to touch it, but suddenly he turned around, and a figure came out from behind the cabinet in the room.

What suddenly came out was an old man in his sixties, with a sallow complexion, thin as wood, wrapped in a black robe, staring at Su Xian and the others who suddenly came with a gloomy expression, and finally his eyes fell on Xiao Chu. There was a look of surprise in his eyes, and it took a long time before he spoke, "How did you come together?" His voice was hoarse, as if he had scraped a piece of iron against the wall.

Su Xian's mind was complicated and he was silent, but Feng Yaochu raised his eyebrows and greeted him in a very good mood: "It's been a long time, evil hand." ”

Wan Sheng snorted coldly.

Feng Yaochu couldn't help but laugh when he saw his appearance: "Even if you pretend not to know me, you shouldn't pretend not to know this puppet you made single-handedly, right?" As he spoke, he pointed to Xiao Chu behind him.

Wan Sheng's gaze never left Xiao Chu, his expression changed slightly, and he suddenly said sharply: "Get out!" His voice fell, and in an instant, he struck at Feng Yaochu, Feng Yaochu made a move to block, but he looked unhurried, and the puppeteer's skills and cultivation were completely ignored, "You have a mechanism on this wall, right?" Just now I was about to open the mechanism, and you came out, is there some hidden secret in this? ”

Wan Sheng shook away the wind with a palm, and his cold face looked like he refused to speak.

Feng Yaochu took half a step back, and was about to make another move, but was stopped by Su Xian next to him raising his hand.

"How?" Feng Yaochu chuckled.

Su Xian said: "I said I wanted to bring you, but I didn't say that the person would be handed over to you for disposal." She said lightly, and couldn't help but say that she blocked Feng Yaochu behind her, walked straight to Wan Sheng, and smiled: "It's been a long time." ”

Wan Sheng looked at Su Xian silently, carefully judging Su Xian's intentions.

Su Xian didn't give him time to guess, and quickly said his intentions: "I came here to ask you a few questions. ”

Wan Sheng was still silent, Su Xian looked at him directly, his eyes were firm and calm, Wan Sheng gritted his teeth, and said after a long time: "That's it, for the sake of you saving me, you can ask any questions." ”

Hearing Wan Sheng say this, Su Xian finally exhaled lightly, but his expression showed a trace of nervousness that he would never have before. The hands in her sleeves clenched slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "How did you meet Xiao Chu?" She saw Wan Sheng slightly stunned, so she explained: "It's the ghost four." ”

Wan Sheng listened to her question and couldn't help but say, "You found out?" ”

"Found what?" On the side, Feng Yaochu asked blankly.

Wan Sheng frowned and said, "This puppet is yours." When he said this, the person who watched it was Su Xian.

Su Xian's face turned pale for a moment.

Since Wan Sheng had already opened his mouth, he said the next words without care: "The Xiao Chu you said was picked up by me in the Autumn River three years ago. When I picked him up, I thought he was dead, but he woke up. At that time, I was studying the forbidden technique mentioned in my master's classics, refining a puppet with the body of a living person, and that person's situation was just right for the body of the puppet, so I directly asked him if he would like to be this puppet for me. Wan Sheng smiled and said, "He agreed." ”

"Why did he ......" Su Xian felt that her voice was faintly trembling, she had never been so flustered as she was now, she wanted to hear the answer, but she didn't want to hear it, "Why did you agree?" ”

Su Xian once heard Mei Shuangmeng say about refining puppets from the body of a living person, Mei Shuangmeng said that if the puppet was refined in that way, the owner of the original body could only separate the soul and leave one of the souls in the body for people to drive, while the remaining two souls and seven spirits were missing one soul, and they could not enter the underworld, and then they would wander between the world, and they would never be able to reincarnate again.

Su Xian's expression was empty, and he only opened his eyes and looked at Wan Sheng.

Wan Sheng said: "Because he put forward a condition. After a slight pause, Wan Sheng seemed to recall the situation at that time, and then continued, "He said that he can become my puppet and work for me for two years, which can be regarded as repaying me for letting him survive in another way." But two years later, he asked me to take him to someone. ”

Feng Yaochu was a little confused when he heard it halfway, and only at this time did he understand, and suddenly his eyes widened and pointed at Su Xian with his finger, and he was surprised: "That person is Su Xian?" ”

Wan Sheng nodded: "I'm not a person who doesn't believe in my word, since I promised to send him to Su Xian's side, I won't break my word." He said to Su Xian, "So I deliberately made that play, that is, to give him to you, so that he will recognize you as the master." ”

Su Xian understood all these words, and the truth was clearly laid out in front of him, but Su Xian didn't know whether he should believe it or not.

Three years ago, Chu Qingjiu was disfigured by the Chu family and thrown into the river, and there was only one river around the Chu family, and the name of that river was Qiuhe. And at that time, Wan Sheng picked up the dying Xiao Chu in the Autumn River, and Xiao Chu who was also ruined by someone.

Xiao Chu worked as a killer for Wan Sheng in the Ghost Gate for two years, and was later brought by Wan Sheng to find her, just as she was investigating the cause of Chu Qingjiu's death at the time, and wanted to expose the fake Chu Qingjiu in the form of a stand-in, so she accidentally pinched a face that was exactly the same as Chu Qingjiu for Xiao Chu.

Who knows, Xiao Chu is Chu Qingjiu, the real Chu Qingjiu.

She checked for Chu Qingjiu for three years and ran around for three years, but she didn't know that Chu Qingjiu had been by her side all along, followed her for a whole year, and became a puppet who couldn't feel anything and could only obey the orders of others.

I'd rather never enter reincarnation than follow the puppet by her side.

If the man could answer, she really wanted to ask him, how could he be so ruthless?

To yourself, to her, how can you be so ruthless?

Su Xian grabbed Xiao Chu's hand beside her, the puppet's hand was cold and warm, and she didn't even respond at all, she sank down and wanted to speak, but she choked up and couldn't say a word. Faintly, she heard Wan Sheng's hoarse voice: "Enough." ”

"What's enough?" Feng Yaochu was stunned and asked puzzled.

Su Xian's mind was dazed, and when he heard this, he suddenly reacted, and turned his head to look at Wan Sheng, but saw that behind Wan Sheng, there were a few balls of light that were similar to Xiao Chu's body. Those balls of light were a little smaller than the balls of light on Xiao Chu's body, and they were flashing with faint purple light, and a gloomy aura was leaking out from them.

Su Xian's expression changed slightly, and he immediately pulled Xiao Chu and Feng Yao Chu back: "Be careful!" They exited the room very quickly, and at the moment when her words fell, Wan Sheng opened the mechanism on the wall, and several figures swept out of the wall like lightning, and the cold light in their hands was like electricity, cutting through the surrounding air.

After avoiding those attacks, Su Xian and Feng Yaochu saw the scene in front of them clearly.

Just in front of Wan Sheng, there were five more people in the room, they lined up in front of Su Xian and the others, their expressions were blank, their faces were pale, there was no trace of breath on their bodies, and there was a ball of light flickering lightly around everyone, and they were all puppets like Xiao Chu!

"I said, there's enough time." Wan Sheng stood up from behind those puppets, and looked at the two of them coldly, "The time to drag you is just enough for me to complete these puppets." Now, what are you going to do with me? ”

At the beginning of the battle with Xiao Chu, Feng Yaochu knew how terrible this puppet was, and now there were five puppets standing in front of him, even if Feng Yaochu gritted his teeth at Wan Sheng, he knew that now was not a good opportunity to make a move, so he had to snort and look at Su Xian. Su Xian and Feng Yaochu glanced at each other, the two of them made the same choice, their bodies were like electricity, and they quickly left Butterfly Valley with Xiao Chu.

Wan Sheng didn't send a puppet to catch up, the two knew that Wan Sheng's purpose was not for them, and after running for a while, they also stopped, Feng Yaochu frowned and whispered: "Wan Sheng made so many puppets at once, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, I have to go back to the ghost gate first, and inform the door master of this matter, you ......"

He didn't finish his words, because he found that Su Xian was not listening to him halfway through.

Su Xian's gaze fell on Xiao Chu's body, or her attention was on Xiao Chu's body.

"Come here." Su Xian's voice was very soft and gentle.

For the puppet, this is an order.

So Xiao Chu immediately came to Su Xian's side.

However, the ball of light beside him was glowing with a gloomy blue light, and it shrank far away to the other side, looking like it was eager to burrow into the ground.

Su Xian called again: "Chu Qingjiu." ”
