Chapter 207: The Five Poisons True Scripture
Let's let you die Mingqing, it is Ren Tianxing, the Demon Sect elder who rampaged the world twenty years ago, who wants to destroy your Phoenix Villa!
"Castle Master, Old Man Wu is like this now, do you want to give him another ride?" A masked killer looked at Wu Mingqiu, who was lying on the ground and was dying, and asked with a sly smile.
"Forget it, let him fend for himself! After all, it's been decades, and Wu Mingqiu and I are also brothers! With that, Yuan Shibang turned around and left the Phoenix Villa compound.
Qing Mu took Xiao Rui, Xiao Cui, and Wu Bin to hide in a hidden place near the backyard. Wu Bin was silently crying and feeling extremely painful, his eyes were blank and he rushed out like crazy several times, as if he wanted to fight to the death with Yuan Shibang and others.
Every time he was stopped by Xiao Rui and Xiao Cui, Qing Mu didn't know how to persuade Wu Bin, who was facing such a drastic change.
For a long time, for a long time, the sound of fighting had dissipated, the eastern sky was exposed, and the entire Phoenix Mountain Villa was filled with a disgusting smell of blood and a pungent smell of gunpowder.
Xiao Rui calmed down and asked Qing Mu in a low voice: "The people in Hansha Castle should have already left, why don't you go out and have a look?"
Qing Mu nodded, glanced at Xiao Rui and Xiao Cui, and motioned for herself to go out and have a look first, and they and Wu Bin stayed here first. After a while, Qing Mu slowly poked his head out and tiptoed towards the courtyard.
The entire courtyard was stained with blood and littered with corpses, and it was disgusting to look at it again. She carefully searched for the location of the owner of Wu Zhuang, and after searching for a long time, she found the owner of Wu Zhuang who had not yet died next to the rockery.
Qing Mu hurriedly ran forward, helping Master Wu Zhuang, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, as if he had something to say.
Qing Mu looked carefully, leaned over to the lips of the owner of Wu Zhuang, trying to hear what he said, and finally only heard, "Secret...... Room...... Brocade...... Box...... ...... for me Zhaoqing... Xiaobin! And there was no more follow-up.
Qing Mu shook his head in frustration, not knowing what Qing meant, he gently put down Wu Mingqiu, who had lost his breath, and got up and hurried back to the hiding place.
Xiaocui helped Wu Bin and returned to the resting room with Qing Mu. Qing Mu looked at Wu Bin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and had been crying painfully, she felt a little unbearable, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Wu Gongzi, your father has gone, please mourn!" ”
When Wu Bin heard this, he cried sadly and shouted, "Daddy, you can't leave me...... Daddy...... Daddy! ”
He kept shouting loudly in his mouth, and for a while, Qing Mu, Xiao Rui, and Xiao Cui didn't know how to comfort him. After crying for a long time, Wu Bin fainted from excessive sadness.
Qing Mu looked at Wu Bin like this, shook his head, turned to the frightened Xiao Cui and said: "Xiao Cui, you take a rest first, take care of Wu Gongzi here, Xiao Rui and I will go out to gather the people up and down Phoenix Villa together and let them settle down as soon as possible!" ”
Xiao Cui nodded blankly and said, "County Lord, go ahead, be more careful!" ”
After more than an hour, Qing Mu gathered all the people of Phoenix Villa in the courtyard, and there were a total of sixty-nine corpses in the entire Phoenix Villa, except for Wu Bin, who escaped by luck, none of them survived.
Qing Mu's heart was quite heavy, and he walked with difficulty, dragging his heavy steps back to the wing. At this time, Wu Bin had woken up, his face was dull, his eyes were blank, and his eyes were staring out of the window without blinking.
Wu Bin saw Qing Mu coming over, and after a while, he lowered his head again, looking sad and sad. After a long time, he looked up at Qing Mu and said cryingly: "Thank you, girl, if you hadn't saved me, I'm afraid I would have died......"
As he spoke, silent tears flowed down, and after a while, he said, "Miss Qing, I want to go and see my father's body......"
Qing Mu nodded slowly, walked to Wu Bin's side, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "Wu Gongzi, you must be strong, you haven't been able to avenge the Phoenix Villa, you can't fall!" ”
Wu Bin's eyes suddenly showed a cold light, and he said viciously: "I will definitely let the cold sand castle pay for the blood debt!" ”
A few people walked into the courtyard, and Wu Bin looked at his father, who was covered in scars and blurred flesh and blood, and was very sad, and the drastic changes overnight.
From a happy rich boy to a homeless orphan, who can understand the sorrow in his heart, the hatred in his heart, and the hatred in his heart?
I don't know how long it took for Wu Bin to gently let go of the hand held by Qing Mu, and fell to the ground with a "bang", kowtowing again and again.
From time to time, he said: "Daddy, don't worry, I will avenge you and Phoenix Villa, Bin'er is not filial and failed to protect you, please forgive Daddy!" ”
Qing Mu stood there in a daze, watching Wu Bin's series of movements, and suddenly, he stood up resolutely, picked up the torch that was still burning next to him, and lit the firewood that had been prepared.
Wu Bin knelt on his knees again, kowtowed three times, tears rained down in his eyes, there was no suitable cry, maybe he was already crying hoarse, and he couldn't cry anymore.
Qing Mu looked at the raging fire, and the sixty-nine lives of the Phoenix Villa were slaughtered in one moment, which is really impressive. What is the reason for such a tragedy, treating human life as if it were a mustard?
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered the words Wu Mingqiu said before he died, "secret room brocade box", which may explain the reason for this tragedy.
After a long time, the fire gradually decreased, and Qing Muqian helped the heartbroken Wu Bin up and took him back to the guest room. He didn't say a word all the way, and just walked into the room in a quiet daze.
Qing Mu pondered carefully for a long time, looked at Wu Bin, walked in front of him cautiously, and said softly: "Lu Bin, before your father died, he said four words to me 'secret room brocade box', maybe he can find out the reason for this matter!" ”
Wu Bin heard Qing Mu's words, nodded slowly and said in disappointment: "I remember my father told me that more than 20 years ago, during the Great War of Righteousness and Demons, he got a treasure and kept it in my father's secret room!" ”
Qing Mu was taken aback and said, "Could it be that what Hansha Castle Yuan Shibang said is true, and Master Wu Zhuang really has a 'Five Poisons True Scripture' in his hand?" ”
Wu Bin shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, it's just that my father has always been careful to collect it!" After he finished speaking, he looked at the sunlight shining in the window, and said, "Miss Qingmu, let's go, I'll take you to have a look!" ”
"Good!" Qing Mu replied.
Xiao Cui and Xiao Rui stayed in the wing, and Qing Mu followed Wu Bin to the secret room. This secret room is built extremely secretly, in a study, with towering mountains behind it, no wonder there are so many people in Hansha Castle.
Even if all the Phoenix Villas were slaughtered, this place was not found. It didn't take long for Wu Bin to lead Qing Mu into the secret room, which was very large, built on the mountain, very exquisite, simple and elegant, and very luxurious.
Qing Mu looked at all this, very surprised in his heart, and asked: "Wu Bin, I didn't expect that Phoenix Mountain Villa was so powerful, and even this secret room was so luxurious!" ”
"Miss Qingmu, you guessed wrong! This chamber was not built by my father. This is built by a royal and grandson nobleman in the previous dynasty, but the ancestors of the Wu family were friendly with it, and later the royal family declined so it was handed over to the Wu family to take care of! Wu Bin said lightly.
"Hmmm! I see, how do you find such a big place? Qing Mu asked suspiciously.
"Miss Qing, you wait here, my father told me back then, I will show you." Wu Bin glanced at Qing Mu, who was full of suspicion, lowered his head and whispered.
"Okay."
After Wu Bin finished speaking, he walked straight ahead, and after a while, he opened a side door next to him and walked in. Qing Mu had nothing to do, so he paced around in this secret hall and waited anxiously.
About a quarter of an hour later, Wu Bin came out of the side door, and there was already an extra brocade box in his hand. Qing Mu was very happy, greeted him, and said with a smile: "You still found it!" ”
Wu Bin nodded "um", and slowly put the golden brocade box on the table next to him, and Qing Mu was about to open it with his hand.
"Wait!" Wu Bin shouted urgently.
Qing Mu was a little puzzled, and was taken aback by Wu Bin, hurriedly retracted his hand, looked up at him, and asked suspiciously, "What?" ”
"Father said that in order to prevent theft, a mechanism was specially installed on this brocade box, and only if it is opened in the correct way, the mechanism will not be triggered!" Wu Bin explained.
"As it should be." Qing Mu sighed and replied.
Wu Bin smiled awkwardly, took out a piece of jade pendant from his waist, and slowly put it into the pattern groove on the brocade box.
Qing Mu was very curious and asked, "This brocade box is really very mysterious!" ”
"This brocade box is very precious, it is from the hand of Lu Ban back then that it can be so thorough, if you accidentally open it wrong, it will not only release poisonous smoke, but also send out poisonous arrows." Wu Bin said lightly.
Qing Mu nodded slowly, and while speaking, Wu Bin had already taken out a handkerchief wrapped in the brocade box, slowly opened the handkerchief, and the four big characters of "Five Poisons True Scripture" came into view.
Wu Bin looked at it for a long time, strangely speechless, Qing Mu looked at him, and said, "Let's see if there are any other letters or the like, maybe there will be some explanation." ”
Wu Bin came back to his senses and said, "What Miss Qing said is true! As he spoke, he flipped through it carefully, and sure enough, there was a letter sealed with fire paint in the book of the Five Poisons True Scripture.
When Qing Mu looked at it, he was very strange, and the envelope actually said "Mr. Shengyue Xuanhe personally opened". She looked at Wu Bin for a moment and asked, "Mr. He?" Does the owner of Wu Zhuang know? ”
"I once heard my father mention that Mr. Crane is the Taishan Beidou of martial arts, the supreme of righteousness! Therefore, my father has a lot of correspondence with him! Wu Bin said.
"It turned out to be Mr. Tsuru's friend." Qing Mu was puzzled in his heart and said in a low voice.
"The girl is young, do you know Mr. Crane too?" Wu Bin was also surprised, so he asked Qing Mu.
Qing Mu lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said, "That's right, Mr. He is my master. ”
Wu Bin was shocked and asked urgently, "Really?" ”
Qing Mu nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have the ability to save you yesterday." ”
"Good! I believe you! In this case, this letter is addressed to Mr. Tsuru, so it is not considered to be read privately from your point of view. Wu Bin said.
"Well, I think maybe the letter can explain the reason for this great change in Phoenix Villa." Qing Mu nodded. Wu Bin thought the same, and took out the letter and handed it to Qing Mu.
Qing Mu opened the letter, only to see that the letter read: Brother Yunxiao, at the beginning of the letter, I am afraid that Mingqiu has gone to Huangquan. Twenty years ago, in the Great War of Righteousness and Demons, many decent people were injured, all because the Demon Sect had a rare secret book for making and detoxifying poison in the world!
In the past 20 years, I have been searching all over the north and south of the river in the next autumn, and finally lived up to my expectations, and by chance, I stole this secret book from the cold sand castle.
Mingqiu wanted to destroy this secret book, but after all, it was the lifelong effort of the predecessors, and the destruction was not only disrespectful to the predecessors, but also a regret for future generations, so Mingqiu took the risk to collect it since then.
In recent years, Hansha Castle has been looking for it without giving up. Its castle owner, Yuan Shibang, not only had a lot of dealings with Ming Qiu for this matter, but even called him a brother. So I think maybe one day, there will be a catastrophe, and I can't hide from it!
Therefore, if he is unfortunately said by his brother in the future, the descendants of my Wu family will uphold the will and hand over the Five Poisons Sutra and this letter to Brother Yunxiao.
Mingqiu left behind a son, named Wu Bin, please Brother Yunxiao for the sake of your friendship with me, take care of Qingqing, put aside the pen, don't read anything! ———— Wu Ming Qiuyuan and the 15th day of September in the sixth year in Fengdu.
"How? What does the letter say? Wu Bin looked at the surprised look on Qing Mu's face and hurriedly asked.
Qing Mu nodded slightly, handed the letter to Wu Bin, and said, "Wu Bin, look at it yourself." It seems that your father knew about this catastrophe beforehand! ”
Wu Bin was a little surprised, took the letter, read it quickly, and asked strangely, "But...... But why didn't my father hide? ”
"I'm afraid it's hard to dodge, right? Look how vicious this Cold Sand Sect's methods are! Qing Mu said in a low voice.
Wu Bin shook his head, incredulous, and said: "My father is so good to me, even if he knows that a catastrophe is coming, he still doesn't forget my son!" ”
"Hmmm! Your father loves you very much! Qing Mu replied affirmatively, looked up at Wu Bin for a long time, thought about it and said: Master Wu Zhuang entrusted Wu Bin to the master, but the master often goes out to travel and has no time to take care of him, how should this be?
"Such a big village, but now I am the only one left, touching the scene, how should I live? Why don't you burn it on fire? Wu Bin looked at Qing Mu and sighed.
"How can you say that this Phoenix Mountain Villa is your father's life's work, how can you say that it will be burned?"
Qing Mu replied lightly, a trace of thought flashed in his mind, and he said: "Since you don't want to live here, then follow me to the capital." I think maybe my brother likes you more. ”
"Beijing? Miss Qing, you were originally going to the capital? Wu Bin said.
"Hmmm! However, there is no way to ferry on the Nanjiang River now, and I don't know how long it will take to go back. Qing Mu shook his head and said disappointedly.
Wu Bin smiled slightly, this was the first time he saw his smile since Mu came yesterday, and said, "Girl, don't worry!" It can be regarded as a good reward for the girl's kindness. There is a way to cross the river below! ”
Qing Mu was very puzzled and asked, "Can you find the ferry?" ”
Wu Bin shook his head and denied: "No...... No! Now it is very dangerous to cross the river by ferry, and there is no way back! I mean here......" he said, pointing to a secret door in front of him.
Qing Mu was very puzzled, looking at the secret door for a long time and there was no Ming Qing, looking at Wu Bin suspiciously, and asked: "What does this door have to do with crossing the river?" ”
"Miss Qingmu, come with me, I'll take you to see!" Wu Bin nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.
Qing Mu was suspicious, didn't say anything more, and followed Wu Bin forward. It didn't take long for Wu Bin to stop beside a candlestick next to him, and turned to the left hard, and suddenly a series of "click" sounds sounded, and a moment later, a door more than five feet long appeared on the wall of the main hall.
Wu Bin glanced at Qing Mu and said, "Please!" ”
Qing Mu nodded slightly, and followed Wu Bin into the door. She was amazed again and again, and after stepping into this door, there was a hole inside.
I walked along the winding road inside, and after walking for about half an hour, I looked up and saw that there seemed to be light shining through above.
"What's going on?" Qing Mu asked confusedly.
"The girl didn't know that the ancestors guarded this mansion for the royal family back then, because they were afraid that if the two countries were at war one day, the enemy would attack, so they built a secret place here as an escape."
"Actually, girl, the light you see now is shining through the Nanjiang River above!" Wu Bin said leisurely.
Qing Mu was very curious and sighed: "Wu Bin, you mean that we are now under the Nanjiang River?" ”
"Exactly! This secret passage is through the back mountain of Phoenix Villa, extending to the north of the Nanjiang River, so when the girl said to cross the river, since we are friends, so I will tell you about this secret passage! Wu Bin continued.
Qing Mu was curious in his heart, and praised: "Wu Bin, your ancestors are really amazing, such a huge project, digging tunnels, and it is still under the Nanjiang River!" ”
"Yes! The ancestors are truly remarkable! But when it comes to my Wu Bin's generation, there is no achievement to this day! Wu Bin said in a low voice.
"Humph! A little doll, what do you want to do? By the way, I haven't asked yet, how old are you? Qing Mu asked with a smile.
"Uh...... I'm so sorry! In two months, I will be sixteen years old! Wu Bin replied.
Qing Mu smiled faintly, patted him on the shoulder, and quipped: "Not yet sixteen years old!" That's going to call my sister! ”
"Sister Qingmu!" Wu Bin said with a smile.
"Alright! All right! Now that we know how to cross the river, we will not delay any longer, and immediately go back to pack our things and rush to the capital. Qing Mu continued.
"Really going?" Wu Bin asked.
Qing Mu took advantage of the light of the torches in the cave, looked at Wu Bin, and asked, "Do you have an opinion?" Or do you have a better place to go? ”
"Nope! It's just that after all, I have lived here for more than ten years, and I was a little reluctant to leave suddenly! Wu Bin was depressed, looking up at the glimmer of light that came through, as if he was thinking about something.
"Uh-huh! This is to follow your father's will and follow this girl into Beijing, so that you don't have to stay here to touch the scene, and you can also follow your brother to have more experience. I believe that with your talent, you will be able to create a career! Qing Mu continued.
"Good! Sister Qingmu, I listen to you! Wu Bin said affirmatively, after speaking, he turned around and looked behind him, pulled Qing Mu and walked back, and said as he walked: "Hurry up!" ”
"How?" The two continued to return along the same route, Wu Bin was a little puzzled, and said, "Didn't Sister Qingmu say just now that she wanted to pack up her things and rush to the capital?" ”
Qing Mu was amused by Wu Bin's impatient expression, and said with a smile: "How can you be so anxious?" ”
"Let's get out of here as soon as possible! Bin'er is afraid that if it is too late, it will be difficult for us to get out, if these people come back! Wu Bin seemed to be very worried and said.
"Don't worry, these people can't help us for the time being! It's just that the situation changed suddenly that day, and there were so many people on the other side, so I could only save you first in an emergency, but the others were too late! Qing Mu said with some regret.
"Hmmm! I know! I know! In that case, I don't know what to do, let alone my young sister! ”
"Oops! It taught me a lesson! Qing Mu patted Wu Bin's shoulder vigorously and said with a smile.
The two continued to return along the same road, you and I whispered one by one, Wu Bin talked about many interesting things over the years, which made Qing Mu very happy.
From her hearty laughter, Wu Bin also felt the beauty of life, and the sadness in his heart was reduced a little.
After Qing Mu and Wu Bin returned to the wing, they cleaned up with Xiao Cui, Xiao Rui and others. Wu Bin also went back to clean up, and about an hour later, the four of them decided to go on the road and continue to the north to the capital.
Along the way, Qing Mu was diligent and hardworking, conscientiously practicing the internal strength and mental method taught by the master every day, and practicing swords with his heart in his spare time. Over the past few years, her three-way swordsmanship has become very proficient, and her power has been much greater than before.
Every time Qing Mu sees his current achievements, he is secretly happy in his heart, but every time he thinks of Mu Qi and the mysterious trip to Qixia Mountain.
With a stomach full of questions, he secretly said that he must explain clearly this time, otherwise he will never pay attention to him again!
After another ten days or so, the group had arrived in the capital. On the road, Wu Bin and Xiaocui often quarreled, and it seemed that they had endless fun.
Xiaocui is cheerful and bright, likes to be close to people, Wu Bin is also a teenager, and the two are of the same age, so they naturally feel very close.
Xiao Rui felt that he was not very gregarious, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them when he looked at the two of them. Along the way, he pulled Qing Mu and said that, and asked for a while: "Sister, what is delicious in the capital?" ”
"You'll know when you arrive, it's much better than the food we eat in Qixia Mountain!" Qing Mu replied.
"Oh! Is it? I thought that the food cooked by Liu's mother on Qixia Mountain was already the best, but there was even better! ”
