"We're really in a good mood tonight, and I want to say that to you." Zhu Ze took off the hat with his left hand and fell to the ground.

His eyes were wide open under his sharp forehead, faintly revealing a crimson color. The scar that crossed it was red and shiny, like a smear of blood,

"You're still pretending at this point, what's the point?"

"I'll give you back this sentence!" A fallen leaf floated in front of Zhu Ze's eyes, and Jiugong took a step and threw his whole person towards Zhu Ze.

His right hand was extended, and the long knife drove his body, a streamer of light, like an arrow off the string.

"There's no need to fight with words, killing you is the only answer, everyone's revenge, I'll take revenge." Zhu Ze's voice was low and cold, and the stinging snake in his hand had already met it.

With the sharp sound of metal striking, the long knife in Jiugong's right hand and Zhu Ze's stinging snake quickly separated after intersecting, and the short knife in his left hand followed, but the stinging snake collided again on the offensive route.

Jiugong's hands didn't stop, and the two knives struck Zhu Ze's stinging snake like a cloud, making a series of crisp sounds.

A few strands of Zhu Ze's sharp forehead hair were cut off by the sword wind, but his expression did not change, his eyes were full of anger, and the stinging snake was like life, swimming between the two knives, so that the Nine Palaces did not have any space to take advantage of.

The double knives in Jiugong's hands did not stop, but there were some inexplicable questions in his heart.

"You didn't kill Jing Qili?" Jiugong asked in the continuous offensive, but his voice was unhurried.

"Why are you doing here?" Zhu Ze's stinging snake finally discovered a little flaw in the flowing water of the Nine Palaces, and the narrow and sharp blade was like a poisonous snake, quickly passing through the knife formation and stabbing straight towards the Nine Palaces.

Jiugong shouted, crossed his two knives and pressed down, pressing down the narrow blade of the stabbing snake, and then smiled at Zhu Ze.

Before Zhu Ze could react to this weird smile, Jiugong had already raised his foot through the crossed double knives and kicked Zhu Ze in the face firmly.

Zhu Ze was hit firmly in the face by this heavy blow, and the whole person staggered back, but the next move he expected to follow did not come, and he looked at Jiugong who had already lowered his double swords on the opposite side with some surprise.

"What? Has the conscience been found? Zhu Ze grinned playfully, and the scar on his face twisted again.

"No, just one thing came to mind." Jiugong's pale golden eyes flashed with a glimmer of crystalline light.

"What's the matter?"

"When was the last time you saw Jing Qili?"

"Five days ago."

"Are you sure he's not an inner ghost?"

"Originally, I was only half-convinced, so I came to you. But now that he's dead, the answer is obvious, you're the inner ghost. Zhu Ze's speech speed did not pause, he raised his right hand, and the stinging snake in his hand pointed directly at the Nine Palaces.

"He didn't die when you left?" Jiunomiya spoke again.

"Nope."

"When I found him today, he had just died, and it was 'Cup Shadow' who killed him." Jiunomiya said slowly, a few strands of long hair on his sideburns brushing his cheeks.

"What?" Zhu Ze's eyes narrowed into a line.

"I've said it many times, when I killed Fan Yu, I couldn't be an inner ghost at all!"

"I haven't figured this out yet, but now it's just you and me, and I know it's not me, so naturally you're the inner ghost. With such a simple multiple-choice question, do you still have any doubts? ”

"In your Zhu family's training, you haven't paid much attention to the study of pharmacology, right?" Jiugong said. Among the upper three families of Tianluo Mountain Hall, the Zhu family is good at physical arts, the Yin family is good at secret arts, and the Su family, where the Nine Palaces are located, is the best at all kinds of organs and secret medicines, and their tricks are unparalleled in the world.

"What do you want to say?" Zhu Ze didn't understand why Jiugong suddenly brought up this topic.

"Do you know that in the dense forests of Leizhou, there is an herb called 'Fog Heart'." Jiunomiya said unhurriedly.

"I've never heard of it." Zhu Ze was unconsciously attracted by the story of the Nine Palaces, and he asked.

"This kind of grass is very rare, and there are less than ten of them in the main hall. This rare herb has a toxicity, and when boiled in small amounts, it can temporarily stop the heart and breathing, but the five senses will not disappear. ”

"What do you mean......" Zhu Ze's eyes lit up.

"Yes, Jing Qili, who is also from the Su family, is likely to have ......used mist grass to trick him to death," Jiugong said the final conclusion.

"Where is his body?" Zhu Ze put away the narrow blade of the stinging snake with a click, but kept his distance from Jiugong.

"I'm buried in a mass grave in the west of the city."

"You're kind...... I still don't believe you, but I think we have nothing to lose by going over and taking a look at it now. Zhu Ze's tone finally eased a little.

"That's exactly what I mean." Jiugong smiled slightly.

"Then lead the way." Zhu Ze stretched out his right hand.

"I don't want to show you my back either," Jiunomiya chuckled, with a hint of alarm in his pale golden eyes.

"Let's go together, you should be familiar with that place."

"Good." Zhu Ze stopped talking, picked up the hat on the ground, and hid his face under the hat again. Almost at the same time, two squares away in a hut.

"Are you sure?" The young man in black asked, sitting by the window.

"It's basically locked, and the nail is him." The burly man in Tsing Yi arched his hand,

"What about the rest? Erase together or keep it? ”

"Wait and see." The young man's voice was so cold that there was not the slightest emotion,

"In the end, if it is a nail that survives, we will kill it on the spot, and if it is our own person, then we will give an account to the old man."

"My subordinates understood." The burly man in Tsing Yi hesitated for a moment and did not say anything more. Half a pair of hours later, the mass grave in the west of the city.

Jiugong and Zhu Ze stood in a corner, and they both felt a little chill on their bodies.

"What a poisonous ploy." Jiugong said.

"It's a pity that he still miscalculated a step, or he miscalculated you." Zhu Ze's gaze was cold.

"He miscalculated us." Jiunomiya stroked the hilt of the knife on his waist. In front of them, the place where Jing Qili was originally buried is now a huge hollow, the soil inside is still very new, and the footprints on it are clearly recognizable.

"What now?" Jiugong asked.

"Find him." Zhu Ze kicked the mud on the ground,

"He's probably hiding somewhere right now, snickering, ready to collect our bodies."

"Then let's surprise him." Jiugong turned around, and the white clothes looked extremely dazzling in the dark night.

"Well, big, big surprise." Zhu Ze's mouth was grinning with white teeth, and the scar shone brightly under the sharp forehead.

Three days later, Tian Yuan Yongle Fang.

"Are you sure he's here?" Jiugong asked softly, and the twin knives turned quietly and slowly in his hands.

"Well, but he hasn't left the room in two pairs, and I don't know if he's noticed me tailing him. I was worried that maybe he had left a mechanism in the house, and I didn't think I could take advantage of it, so I decided to inform you first. It was Zhu Ze who answered, the hat had been removed, and there was a line of nervousness on his face.

"I'll go in with you on the left and you on the right, and I'll go in together after dozens of clicks, pay attention to the landing point." Nine palaces are in sign language, and they are also picturesque and narrated.

Zhu Ze nodded, quietly moved a few times, and came to the left corner of the room. Jiugong looked at him, counted ten times silently, and then opened the way with two knives, and the whole person crashed into the house through the wooden window on the right.

He rolled over after he landed, carefully holding his twin knives, and watched as a tall, burly man sat in the dark room.

For some reason, he felt a little uneasy. He held his breath, and after a while, he gently touched him with the long knife in his right hand, and the man fell to the ground.

Bad! Jiugong's heart was shocked, he exerted force with both feet, and the whole person flew backwards, but a heavy blow hit his waist and eye, and his body weakened and collapsed to the ground.

He heard a click, and suddenly there was an oil lamp in the almost dark room. The owner of the oil lamp stood in the middle of the room and grinned at him, a familiar scar on his familiar smile.

"Zhu Ze, it's really you!" Jiugong finally understood where his uneasiness just now came from, and he didn't even hear the sound of Zhu Ze breaking through the door from beginning to end.

"It's me, but unfortunately you know too late." Zhu Ze's face was full of triumph, and the stinging snake in his hand was against Jiugong's throat, smiling unscrupulously.

Jiugong looked at the burly body in the distance, it was Jing Qili, who had been dead for many days, and the whole person was already swollen and rotten.

"It turns out that he didn't crawl out on his own," Jiugong smiled bitterly,

"How do you know where I buried him?"

"You were so distraught when you found out he was dead that you didn't pay attention to all my actions watching you from afar." Zhu Ze said with a smile,

"The most important thing we Tianluo need to remember is to keep a normal heart at all times."

"Ordinary heart...... You betrayed them all! Why? Why betray us? Jiunomiya asked, almost angrily.

"It's me, but I'm not the only one." Zhu Ze was quiet when he spoke,

"I don't have a choice."

"What do you mean?" Jiugong asked.

"Why don't you die, do you know the 'slash and plough plan'?" Zhu Ze looked down at the pale golden eyes of the Nine Palaces.

"'Slash and Knife Plan'? What is that? Jiugong looked confused.

"This is a plan that Qin Tianjian has started since very early on, in order to 'possibly' fight with Shantang in the future. In terms of time, it can be traced back to about 22 years ago. ”

"Weren't you less than three years old then?"

"Exactly, the matter of the mountain hall screening and absorbing suitable children into the hall has been known to Qin Tianjian, but because the screening scope and time of the mountain hall are too arbitrary, Qin Tianjian decided to use the simplest method."

"How?"

"Qin Tianjian collected a large number of children who could be absorbed by Tianluo, and then applied a special secret technique, which they called the 'Star Mark'. This secret technique can leave an imprint in the human mind, but the incubation time of the attack is very long, and it will take about eighteen years for the once buried seed to sprout for the first time. ”

"Sprouting?"

"Yes, those seeds had a few days a month and a few days a month, and death was nothing compared to this pain." A painful look flashed on Zhu Ze's face, as if he evoked a terrible memory,

"And every time I had a seizure, I would have a vision in my mind. It was dark and barren, with nothing but snow and bones. This abyssless nightmare lasted for five years, until three months ago, a black-robed man appeared in the dream. ”

"Who's that?"

"Hehe, that person must be familiar to you, it is Fan Yushi, the sect leader of the Qin Heavenly Prison Yin who was killed by you not long ago." Zhu Ze smiled bitterly,

"He slowly told me everything about the whole 'slash-and-knife plan'. It was as if I had woken up from a dream until I realized that I was the seed of that terrible force. Every time I wake up in this nightmare, I feel like I was hiding another person under the appearance of Tianluo. This is 'fate', which cannot be changed and resisted, do you understand the pain of this so-called 'fate'?! Jiugong was silent for a long time and did not speak.

"Since five years ago, I've been waking up almost every night with nightmares and then suffering from this diabolical torture every month. It wasn't until three months ago that I found Fan Yushi according to the clues provided by the dream. This damn old man explained the whole 'slash plan' to me in detail, and then laid down two paths in front of me: accept fate, become the seed of the Qin Heavenly Prison or die. ”

"It was an easy choice." Jiugong smiled bitterly.

"Hehe, so I chose to survive, the teachers in the mountain hall said very well, killers are emotionless. Although I have some heartache to betray you, after all, my own life is more important, isn't it? I'm not a saint, so I'm not hypocritical. ”

"I understand, but there are some things I still don't understand."

"What's the matter?"

"Why didn't you just kill me in the morning? Still going to great lengths to set up this game? ”

"Because before this operation, I got a message from Fan Yushi."

"What's the news?"

"In our group, there are two 'seeds'." Zhu Ze said slowly.

"What? So you guys colluded in the first place? Jiunomiya's eyes widened in disbelief.

"No, Fan Yushi's old fox never told me who the other 'seed' was, but he still revealed his identity. In fact, your judgment at the beginning was not wrong, Jing Qili is another 'seed', and the action when he assassinated Fan Yu should be the news he leaked. That time, I only knew the time and place of the hands-on, and the detailed steps were completely dark. But it was that time that I knew that he was another 'seed'. ”

"I understand, you didn't attack me at that time, just to confuse Jing Qili."

"Yes, as one of Tian Yuan's liaisons, Jing Qili's skills should not be underestimated. But he has never been able to find who the other 'seed' is, but he has always been suspicious of you, so he will let you last attack Fan Yushi. It's a pity that you succeeded, he was in the midst of extreme contradictions at that time, and I would easily get it. ”

"But why did you kill Jing Qili? Since you are all 'seeds'. ”
