Chapter 9: Poisonous Oath
In the center of the meditation room, Xiao Ruixue was half-paralyzed on the ground, her expression was awkward, and her two arms hung down weakly like wicker.
The old monk was expressionless: "How much did you listen to what we said?" If you tell me honestly, I will ask Qi'er to take your arm back so that you will no longer suffer from dislocation! ”
Beads of sweat continued to emerge from her forehead, and Xiao Ruixue bit her lower lip slightly: "How many times have I said it, I only came here because I was lost, and I happened to hear Master outside the house saying 'Prepare to rest and leave early tomorrow morning', so I opened my mouth to ask if Master was in the house." The ins and outs of all this are so clear, why don't you believe it? Speaking of this, Xiao Ruixue looked at Sha Dong: "Master, you should believe me, I never lie!" ”
Sha Dong looked at Xiao Ruixue's two dislocated arms, couldn't bear it, and said to the old monk: "She's just a little lady, where can she withstand such torture, she should tell the truth!" This is a misunderstanding, I think it's better to let her go! ”
"Sha Dong, don't be protective of her just because she called you a few times! If she really hears all our words and goes out and talks nonsense, my life and plans will all be buried in the hands of such a little woman! ”
"You're too alarmist! I have been a master and apprentice with her for a year, and I know her temperament very well, she has a tough temperament, and she is by no means an ordinary little lady who loves to talk about her tongue! ”
"Hmph, I think you can't tell the difference!"
Sha Dong spread his hands angrily: "Then what are you going to do, is it difficult to kill her?" ”
The old monk's eyes were sharp: "That's exactly what I mean, I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go!" ”
Sha Dong's face changed, the black-shirted young man was also slightly moved, Xiao Ruixue was even more frightened, she could only regard Sha Dong as the last straw, because of the pain, her tone was quite weak: "Master, save me!" ”
The old monk glanced at Sha Dong and said lightly: "You have a fight with her master and apprentice, and you can't bear to be forgivable in your heart, I don't bother you to do it here, you can avoid it for the time being!" With that, he took out a dagger from his sleeve and handed it to the black-shirted boy: "Qi'er, you can do it!" ”
The black-shirted young man took the dagger with a slight tremor in his hand and said, "Master, is it too much to kill?" ”
The old monk shouted angrily: "You are also such a woman's kindness, what can you achieve in the future?" ”
The black-shirted young man swallowed his saliva, raised his head and looked at the old monk: "The master also said that benevolence loves people!" If you really kill the wrong one this time, it will be unkind! If you are unkind, how can you win the hearts of the people? Then, he skimmed Sha Dong from the corner of his eye and said in an inquiring tone, "First of all, I think Master will complain about me, right?" ”
Sha Dong's eyes lit up, and he immediately echoed: "What Qi'er said is right! If he kills me today, I will hold a grudge against him, and although I will not talk about betrayal in the future, it is difficult to say whether I can do things with my heart! ”
The old monk glanced at Sha Dong, and then at the black-shirted young man, and his eyes couldn't help but burst out with nameless anger: "Okay, okay, you master and apprentice actually joined forces to fight me!" Well, according to your opinion, what should this little lady do! But I have a word in advance, the stakes are very high, and it is absolutely impossible to let her go directly! ”
The black-shirted young man looked at Sha Dong with some expectation in his eyes, and Sha Dong also glanced back at him, but then reached out and scratched his head. The black-shirted young man had to shake his head slightly, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he turned around and walked to the corner of the meditation room, opened a wooden box against the wall, and reached out to grope for the bottom of the box.
Sha Dong was a little inexplicable at first, but when he saw the black-shirted young man take out a thumb-sized black medicine bottle, his eyes changed suddenly: "Qi'er, what are you holding here?"
But before Sha Dong finished speaking, the black-shirted young man quickly pulled out the cork, stepped in front of Xiao Ruixue with an arrow, grabbed her chin with one hand, and poured all the contents of the medicine bottle into her mouth with the other.
"Cough-cough-cough-" The contents of the medicine bottle were like spirits, unusually spicy, causing Xiao Ruixue to cough violently. Xiao Ruixue exclaimed, "What did you give me to drink?" ”
A sneer appeared at the corner of the black-shirted boy's mouth: "This is a poison, called a hundred days hook kiss!" ”
Hook kiss is also known as broken intestine grass, Xiao Ruixue naturally knows, at this time she can't help but be shocked and angry, but out of the desire for life, the tears in her eyes can't be suppressed: "You-don't you plan to kill me?" ”
The black-shirted young man looked at Xiao Ruixue, put away his sneering expression silently, and suddenly snorted coldly after a while: "A woman is a woman, after all, she is afraid of death!" Rest assured, the name of this poison means that if you drink it, you will not die immediately, but will wait until a hundred days before it is poisoned! ”
There is no essential difference between dying 100 days late, the hope of life is still not there, Xiao Ruixue is a little heartbroken, and her tears no longer flow, she can't help but sneer: "Hehe, thank you for your great mercy, and let me live for another 100 days!" ”
The black-shirted young man's eyes changed slightly, he stretched out his hands and pulled Xiao Ruixue's left arm together, making a "click" sound, Xiao Ruixue's brows furrowed, but he bit his lip stubbornly, and the young man repeated the old trick on Xiao Ruixue's right arm, Xiao Ruixue still didn't say a word.
"Hmph, you've got all your bones connected! But I can tell you that although the poison you just fed is not without an antidote. If you swear not to set foot in the Jiming Temple again and not tell what you have seen and heard in the Jiming Temple today, I can give you the antidote! Seeing Xiao Ruixue's expression move slightly, he said again: "It's just that the antidote can only alleviate the toxicity every time, but it can't eradicate the toxicity!" So every 100 days you must get a new antidote from me, so that you don't die of poison! ”
Xiao Ruixue finally spoke: "You want to use this poison to control me to become a puppet?" ”
When the old monk heard this, a slight light flashed in his eyes.
The black-shirted boy said, "Joke, do you think you have any value in becoming a puppet?" If it weren't for Master's feelings, I could have killed people directly! However, only women and villains in the world are difficult to raise, and I don't dare to fully trust you, so I have to do this! ”
Xiao Ruixue looked at Sha Dong, and Sha Dong shook his head at her helplessly: "In vain, swear!" This is also the only way, otherwise the teacher will not be able to save you! ”
At this moment, Xiao Ruixue felt all kinds of humiliation in her heart, she felt that she had suffered a complete disaster, but in order to live, but for the sake of the residual thoughts hidden in her heart, she had to compromise, so she gritted her teeth and raised her right hand: "I, Xiao Ruixue, swear to the sky that if I step into the Jiming Temple for half a step in the future, or reveal what I saw and heard in the Jiming Temple to others, I will definitely be hit by five thunders, and there will be no corpse!" ”
The black-shirted young man silently watched Xiao Ruixue finish swearing a poisonous oath, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but when he happened to see Xiao Ruixue casting a trace of jealousy at him, his heart couldn't help jumping slightly.
