...... In a trance, Segolena returned to the valley, first Brother Kavanagh, then Durande, both of them had sad faces, and then they were surrounded by a gloomy castle, and in the middle of the castle sat a noble lady, who looked very close, but her face was blurred, and Segolena wanted to get closer, but the woman turned into a monster with her hands open, and pounced on her with her teeth and claws, so frightened that Segolena screamed, and suddenly woke up, covered in cold sweat.

After all, he is only a teenager, although he has a master's degree, his heart has not been tempered after all. This strange nightmare really frightened him, and it took him a long time to calm down. Segolena shook his head, and found that he was not bound by ropes and tendons, but his internal breath was weak, and he couldn't move at all, so he could only sit limply on the bench. He looked to the left and right and gasped.

He was in a country church. This church is 100 years old, to say the least, probably not well repaired, and looks dilapidated. The ceilings, window lattices, columns, and floors were all rotten, cobwebs, and moss marks on the walls. A wooden statue of a cross is in front of it, but instead of ordinary white-barked oak, it is made of a piece of black core cypress, so that there is no holiness at all, and even the image of the Son is extremely gloomy. Under the cross there was a large communion table, covered with a patterned white silk cloth, and it was bulging with something.

There are more than a dozen rows of long wooden chairs under the stage, which are densely packed with people. There were men and women, men in ceremonial dresses and women in skirts, but these costumes were all degraded, and those men and women were all pale and stiff, with dull eyes, and they were all dead! The whole church seems to be bustling, but in fact it is extremely cold, and the smell of corpses and musty is everywhere.

Segolene sat among the corpses, and for a moment a myriad of thoughts crossed his mind: Did these corpses come on their own, or were they arranged? Who had arranged them? What was the purpose? He searched with wide eyes, and found that Romulus and Ethel were also among the dead. Both of them closed their eyes tightly, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, but Rosemary didn't know where to go.

Segolena saw that his companion was uncertain, and he was in a hurry, and hurriedly lucked, but his body didn't know what drugs he had been given, and the breath around his body was hidden in the zodiac, no matter how he drove it, once he passed the heart lion**, he was like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no sound. The lion ** is the key to the circulation of the breath around the body, and if it is broken here, no matter how abundant the true qi is, it will not form a cycle, and there is no place for it. Segolena had never encountered such an anomaly since he had cultivated the Twin Serpent Proverbs.

He fought his fate for a few weeks, and he was cut off by the lion**, thinking that it was probably the enemy who laid a poison here to restrain the internal force, no matter what kind of master you are, if the true qi is not circulating, it will be useless. And this poison is in the heart, even if others have the heart to help, it is also a rat taboo, and they dare not do it without permission - from this point of view, this poisoner is actually a big expert. It seems that the great connoisseur used this poison to charm everyone, and if it weren't for Segolena's internal strength, I am afraid that he would have been in a coma until he died, just like everyone else. But now that he has woken up, he can't move a bit, and the situation is not necessarily much better.

He was anxious to himself, and suddenly it occurred to him that Brother Kavanagh was seriously injured when he was in the valley, and his heart lion ** was not breathing, so he borrowed a road from the Cancer Palace to reach the two palaces of the Maiden and the Heavenly Palace, and he didn't know if he could do it. As soon as he thought of this, he hurriedly tried it. It's just that this method is extremely complicated, and Brother Kavanagh has been immersed in martial arts for decades before he can barely lend a thin path. No matter how talented Segolena is, after all, he is young, and this borrowing road will never be opened. Segolena was lucky for two hours, and only barely got a few wisps of true qi from the Cancer Palace into the maiden, like drops of water on a stone, to no avail.

He was doing his work when he heard a noise behind the church. Segolena couldn't move, and quickly squinted his eyes, and saw the small door behind the church being pushed open with a "creak", and a dark figure walked in. Through the faint glow, Segolena could barely see that it was a strong man who had entered. This man was born extremely tall, with long thick limbs, unkempt hair, and wore a gothic groom's outfit that did not take advantage of his body, with shining gold threads, and several peacock feathers inserted in the cuffs, which looked quite funny.

This man walked into the church, and he was still holding a bouquet of bright red roses, which stood out in this dark room. He raised his hand slightly, and the bouquet of roses "poofed" into a wooden post. The rose is so delicate, it was shot casually by this strong man, and it was actually three points, Segolena was secretly frightened. The strong man looked around the church, took out a few large plain candles from his pocket, inserted them into the candlesticks hanging in the air one after another, and took out a fire fold to light them, and the whole church suddenly lit up.

Segolena could now see the man's face: he had a square face, but he was cut diagonally into two pieces by an earthworm-like scar, half of his face was as white as a corpse, the other half was bronze, and the two were very abrupt, as if he had been stitched together from two pieces of human skin, and on his lower jaw was a blue indigo beard, with well-defined roots and neatly combed—not Bluebeard?

I saw that the bluebeard lit the candles, stood on the stage with his arms crossed, squinted his eyes and looked at the dozen rows of dead guests in the audience, looking very complacent. After a short time, he walked to the front of the stage and lifted the gauze on the table. Segolena's pupils narrowed suddenly, and on the table lay an unconscious Rosemary, dressed in a bridal dress, holding a bouquet of lilies in both hands and resting on her chest.

Bluebeard leaned down to look at Rosemary's pretty face, smiling, but the smile was more terrifying than the goblins. He reached out and stroked her cheek, then reached out his large hand to help her up. Rosemary snuggled softly on his chest, unconsciously, and the two stood side by side, really like a newlywed.

Bluebeard suddenly said to the dead body in the audience, "Relatives and friends, thank you for coming to the small place to attend my wedding with this young lady, it really makes this place flourish. Despicable people are grateful, and may God bless all. I hereby ask you to bless us and bless our love for eternity......" He turned and waved his sleeve, and the coffin standing next to him was immediately shaken open, revealing a skeleton dressed in priest's clothing, with rosaries around its neck, and five white miserable finger bones supporting a worn Bible," ...... Witness to the crystal love between me and her before God. We will be married and support each other. ”

With that, Bluebeard patted Rosemary on the shoulder. I don't know what evil tricks he used, but Rosemary actually stood firmly in place, but her eyes were still lowered. Bluebeard pulled out her hand and told her to stand on her own, then walked to the corner. There was a Hapsicord plucked string, and Bluebeard pulled a chair over it, sat down in front of it, and began to play. The sound of the piano is melodious, the melody is beautiful, and it is the long-standing popular "Holy Blessing Like Hadler's Spring Water Bathing" in Central and Eastern Europe, which is dedicated to the wedding scene. The song was originally good, but it was just a creepy way that reverberated through the dilapidated chapel and reached the ears of a group of corpse guests. The partial bluebeard was still very engaged, shaking his head, and looking back at the bride from time to time, his eyes were happy and serene, immersed in this weird one-man show.

After playing the song, Bluebeard closed the lid and looked quite satisfied. He turned around, walked to the bride, gently took her hand, half-knelt down, kissed affectionately, and said slowly: "I only love you in this life, I dedicate my body and mind to you, my only love, my treasure." Segolena's hair stood on end, thinking that this bluebeard must be insane, otherwise how could he find a room of dead people to play such a boring scene, it seems that he is completely insane, and not lightly. Not to mention whether this Bluebeard can cure the old duke's illness, that is, whether he can escape from this wedding of the deceased is still unknown.

As he was thinking, Bluebeard grabbed Rose-Marie's hands again, took out a key and put it in her hand, and said, "You have become my bride, and you and I will be a family from now on." In the presence of so many guests today, there is one thing that the Father must tell you. In this old mountain realm, every grass and tree belongs to you from now on, and you can use it to the fullest, but in this church there is a room that you are not allowed to enter. If you don't listen to me, don't blame your husband for being ruthless!"

At the end of the sentence, the bluebeard's face turned hideous, and he gritted his teeth. His voice suddenly turned high, and he shouted: "I have married several wives before, and these stupid women have not listened to my kind advice, and their curiosity like a wild cat has given them their lives in vain. Beloved wife, you must not follow the same path as before, let your youth be wasted, and end up with a corpse. ”

As he said this, his right palm shook, and the altar behind the cross collapsed with a "boom", revealing a large mezzanine on the wall. There were six or seven skeletons hanging from the mezzanine, all dressed in wedding dresses, but they were pierced through the chest with iron, and they died in a terrible state, with more scattered limbs under their feet, and there were stains of blood on them, like hell rising into the world.

At this scene, Rao Segolena couldn't help but let out an "ah" in fright, and he knew that what Capistrano said was true, and this Bluebeard's penchant for slaughtering his wife was really appalling. Bluebeard, who had been attached to Rosemary's ear, whispered carefully, when he suddenly heard a soft shout from among the guests, his face changed, and he immediately straightened up, his eyes were like electricity, and swept towards the guests.

Segolena knew that he had revealed his secrets, and hurriedly suppressed his breath. He couldn't move all over his body now, only the wisps of internal force circulating through his chest, just enough to make himself barely make a sound, if he was discovered by a violent person like Bluebeard, he would definitely be dead. Bluebeard looked around, but there was nothing out of the ordinary, and thinking that he had misheard, he turned around and suddenly let out a loud roar.

Segolena heard the roar and subconsciously opened his eyes to look. Unexpectedly, Bluebeard suddenly turned his head, and two sinister eyes shot at him, just staring at him. Segolena secretly scolded himself for being confused, among these corpse guests, most of them were skeletons and rotting corpses, and only himself, Ethel and Romulus were fresh bodies. Bluebeard only had to keep an eye on the three of them, and with a small trick, he could expose the person who was making the noise.

Bluebeard stared at Segolena and said hatefully, "Friend, you came to my wedding, I should have entertained you." It's just that you make such an indecent sound, which shocks my wife and spoils my happy events, is really a sin that deserves death. Let me teach you how to observe the etiquette of wedding silence just like everyone else. With that, he picked up a femur from the pile of dead people in the wall and stabbed it towards Segolena.

This is a strong statement, and Segolena has not recovered at this time, and he can only wait to be killed. At this moment of crisis, Segolena suddenly spoke, "The Blood Alliance is above, why do such a thing?" The spike of the bone was only two minutes away from his throat, and it stopped abruptly. Bluebeard stopped his hand, his face showed a strange look, his beard trembled and trembled, "You, who are you?"

Segolena secretly called it a fluke. He just thought that the Sirius Array was originally a secret method of ancient Egypt, and the silver moon magic skill of Catherine, the predecessor of the "Moon" in the Tarot Blood Alliance, was passed down by Cleopatra and was of the same origin, or there was some connection between the two. As soon as he heard that Bluebeard had stopped, he knew that the shop he was betting on was indeed the right one—this Bluebeard really had something to do with the Tarot Blood Alliance.

Escaping this killing, Segolena was less determined in his heart, smiled slightly, and said: "I have heard for a long time that my predecessors are hiding in this deep mountain, and their temperament is becoming more and more perverse, but now when I look at it, it is true. When Bluebeard heard this, he was furious, stepped up to him, and gently pulled him up: "Tell me, who are you?!"

Segolena said slowly, "I am the messenger of Catherine de Valois of the Silver Moon. You treat me like this, Catherine will not be happy when she knows it. When Bluebeard heard the name, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Catherine?"

Segolena was now sure that Bluebeard had something to do with Catherine the Silver Moon. However, judging from his reaction, Bluebeard did not know that Catherine was dead, and that the position of "Silver Moon" had been replaced by Sirenqinji, and that he was not an official member of the Tarot Blood Alliance. Segolena secretly thought that he was in danger, and there was no hope for martial arts, so he had to take risks and try by words. He looked up and said, "She is now in Moldova and cannot move, so she sent me here to find you and say something important for the hermit to discuss." ”

Since he came out of the valley, he has gone through the world, and he has gradually learned more thoroughly, which is not as natural as before he came out of the valley. This way of lying has naturally learned the trick of "seven points true, three points false". Catherine's relationship with the "hermit", which he already knew about in Moldova, was then half-truthed and half-false. Bluebeard listened to his words, and already believed a little, nodded and said: "These two people are not harmonious, it has been around for a long time, and I can't imagine that it has not been resolved to this day." Segolena said, "That's right, that's why Lord Catherine has sent me to seek your help." ”

Bluebeard frowned and said, "I have already paid for that thing, and I don't owe it to your blood alliance." The Blood Alliance is now fighting among itself, what does it have to do with me?Could it be that Catherine also wants that thing?" Segolena thought to himself that he was really not a member of the Blood Alliance, but he didn't know what the "thing" he was talking about, so he stubbornly replied: "This matter has a lot to do with Your Excellency, and it is very serious, so Catherine sent me here to honor Mingjian." ”

Bluebeard suddenly sneered and said, "Since you are the messenger of the 'Silver Moon', how can you not break through the Sirius Array and be easily captured by me?" It's just that those companions are holding back and are unprepared for a while. If you don't believe it, let's go out and walk again. ”

In fact, his understanding of this formation only stops there, and he can't say a word more, but he deliberately pretends to be unfathomable and hides ten things. Listening to what he said, Bluebeard was puzzled: "The eight-string poison I personally mixed in your body should have dissipated your internal force and looked like a zombie." You can still speak, it seems that Catherine's disciple really has some way. He added: "Your three companions, judging by their skills, two are disciples of the Gospel of Simon, and the other is from the Beguin, all of whom are so-called famous and upright, how can they mix with the people of your blood alliance?" ”

Bluebeard sneered, "Going around and around, it turns out that you still want me to give you an antidote." The name of the blood alliance, others may still be a little afraid, in the old mountain, there is no part of your junior to speak!" He flicked his sleeves: "Will I give you an antidote, and wait until I finish this marriage! I'm afraid that the bride and the guests are in a hurry." Segolena hurriedly said: "The bride, and the two people in the audience, it is not good to have any damage, otherwise Catherine will not be able to explain there." Bluebeard glared and said, "Your Blood Alliance took that thing and was free, but I haven't been married yet." I have taken away my bride and guests, how can this wedding be carried out? Don't be verbose, if you delay the auspicious time, the guests will laugh at me as the bridegroom!"

Seeing that he had a clear mind, Segolena began to go crazy when he talked about the wedding, thinking that this person was crazy because he wanted to be the groom, so he said: "The younger generation naturally does not dare to delay the happy event of the seniors, but the marriage is a major event in life, and if there is no priest and abbot, it will not be a system after all." Bluebeard pointed to the priest-like skeleton, "Isn't this a priest? Segolena thought to himself, you know that it is a corpse, but she said, "Although this priest is of high grade, he cannot speak, how can he bless the newlyweds? ”

He calculated that Bluebeard attached great importance to the wedding, and he was dead on this point, Bluebeard was really furious, and smashed a corpse next to him with a "snap", and the white bones were splashed: "You stinky boy! Are you here to mess with my wedding ceremony!?" Segolena said: "The younger generation doesn't dare, but as the saying goes, what God sees, the world is like a mirror." If the wedding is not done with the blessing of the clergy, it is not legal. Bluebeard heard what he was saying, and said, "What do you think?"

Segolena had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and immediately said: "I have a wooden staff on me, please ask my seniors to help take it out." Bluebeard searched him and found Brother Kavanagh's cane. When he saw that there were five knots on the wooden staff, he first let out a "huh" and said in an evil voice: "This is something from the dervishes, how can you have it?" Segolena said: "Although the junior is entrusted by Catherine, he is actually an elder disciple of the dervish monk, and he is also a monk - this wooden staff is a certificate - and he is also qualified to bless marriage. If the seniors do not give up, I am willing to preside over the wedding on my behalf, so that the seniors can be together as soon as possible. ”

When Bluebeard heard this, he couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. His wedding was shocking to the world, and he had long been regarded as a thorn in the side of the Holy See, let alone a priest to bless him personally, and he had always regretted it. Now a young monk has come down from heaven and is willing to bless on behalf of God. When Segolena saw his expression, he knew that he was already in the middle of it, and hurriedly got off the donkey: "Catherine knew my identity that she specially sent me to officiate at the wedding for the adults. ”

Before he could finish speaking, Bluebeard had already pinched Segolena's chin, and with his left hand he put a piece of slimy thing down his throat, shouting, "Swallow it!" Segolena felt that the thing was so foul that it was difficult to swallow, so he had to swallow it because of the situation. As soon as this thing fell into the stomach, it immediately scattered and dissolved. Segolena suddenly felt that the true qi of all the limbs and bones was slowly flowing, gradually converging into a river, and soon his body returned to normal. Although this bluebeard is crazy, he is really miraculous when it comes to applying medicine and poison.

Segolena moved his fists and kicks, felt that there was nothing out of the ordinary, and let out a sigh of relief. Bluebeard patted him on the head and said, "You come with me." Segolena said: "The seniors might as well help the three of them solve it together, I'm afraid that there will be no hindrance after a long time." Bluebeard glared and said, "I can naturally solve it, but not now, don't be verbose!"

Segolena had no choice but to keep her mouth shut and follow Bluebeard. He began to think that Bluebeard was going to take Rosemary and take the oath, but Bluebeard stopped looking at the girl and walked straight out of the chapel. It turned out that behind this church, there was a flat slope in the mountains, and there were more than a dozen wooden house scaffolding, most of which were in disrepair, with an eerie atmosphere, without a trace of living people, like an abandoned village after the Black Death.

Bluebeard takes Segolena around the village eight times to a two-story attic. The attic was half-masonry, with peeling walls, a bronze lily slanted into the lintel, rusted, and a dead iris hanging from the flower's head. Bluebeard pushed open the wooden door and let go of his voice, "Kaya, I have found a priest, and you and I can swear to be married." Segolena wondered in his heart, could it be that he really wanted to get married, wasn't Rosemary?

Before he could think about it, he stepped into the room and saw a silver silk tent resting in the room, and a woman lying in the silk tent. The woman was dressed in a snow-white wedding dress, and had been dead for many years, but she did not know what medicine she had used, and her skin did not decay, but her color was dull and gray, and she was lifeless. Bluebeard walked over to the bed, took her hand and said softly, "Kaya, I've got a monk and I'm going to grant your wish." He beckoned to Segolena to come over. Segolena leaned over and felt that the woman's condition was rather strange, and he reached out to touch her arm, which felt hard as stone, and his mind moved.

The Duke of Belgrade wept from Medusa, and his whole body gradually stiffened, and finally died of fossils, which were quite similar to the symptoms of this woman. Segolena glanced at Bluebeard and thought to himself that the Duke of Belgrade's illness was poisoned by Bluebeard? With this in mind, he blurted out, "This is ...... Medusa's weeping?"

Bluebeard held the woman's hand, and said without replying, "Didn't Catherine say it when she sent you?" Segolena said: "The younger generation has just entered the rivers and lakes, and he is not very familiar with the history of the previous generation. Bluebeard snorted: "You kid, your speech is not a good thing." Segolena smiled slightly: "Between the blood alliances, there are constant quarrels with each other, and it is normal to hide some things from each other. The younger generation is unknown, how can they know these many secrets. ”

Bluebeard stood up, thoughtfully tucked the quilt for the female corpse, turned around and folded his arms, and said, "You can't hide anything from the priest. Since you are going to officiate at my wedding, you must know these things as well. Since Catherine didn't say it, let me tell you. Segolena stood respectfully and crossed and said, "May the Lord's will bless our souls." ”

Hearing this, Bluebeard spat disdainfully into the corner of the wall, and said slowly, "It was my first wife Kaya who was lying on the bed. More than ten years ago, I was a well-known doctor who was a well-known doctor, and no matter how many incurable diseases could not overwhelm me. Even people in the rivers and lakes often come to me to treat poison and heal their wounds. Kaya is the daughter of a local nobleman, and I are in love with each other, and we are a good couple. It's a pity that I come from a humble background, and I am not tolerated by her noble family. I was young and vigorous, and in a fit of rage, I poisoned her whole family and took her into the mountains. It's just that she believes in God and refuses to marry without a priest presiding over it—but imagine what priest would come if I did such a thing?"

Segolena thought to herself, you're a little self-aware. Bluebeard said again: "The local people organized people to surround and suppress me several times, but I killed them one by one. Kaya was a virgin, and when she saw me slaughtering her so much, she was so depressed that she became so depressed that she somehow got the Medusa Weeping. This terminal illness is ineffective, even if it is me, I am helpless. I thought there was a day out of the world, so I took her to visit famous doctors all over Europa. It's a pity that most of the people in this world are fame-seeking, but they are just quacks who are full of big talk but have no real talent. I've killed dozens of them, but Kaya's condition is getting worse day by day. I was in despair, thinking that unless Hippocrates was reborn, Kaya would be hopeless. ”

Seglaina smiled when she heard Hippocrates' name. He has been immersed in the martial arts of the two snakes for a long time, and only regards Xi as a generation of martial arts wizards, and only then does he remember that Hippocrates' medical methods are still above martial arts.

Bluebeard didn't know what he was thinking, and when he saw him smile slightly, he thought it was a mockery, and couldn't help but be annoyed: "What are you laughing at? Bluebeard glared at him, "No matter how light you are, I will turn you into a puddle of corpse water." Segolena apologized. Bluebeard then continued, "...... Later, a messenger from your Blood Alliance suddenly came, calling himself 'Gray Tower', and gave me a secret recipe for alchemy, saying that according to this method, it may be possible to cure Medusa's weep, but it needs to be improved, and those who are not proficient in pathology cannot do it, and he is willing to give me this prescription, just hoping that I will one day successfully develop it and share this prescription with the Blood Alliance. I don't know what his motives were, but looking at this prescription, it was indeed exquisite, so I agreed with all my mouth. From then on, I took Kaya back to Laoshan and devoted myself to research. You know, alchemy is extremely risky, and it often takes hundreds of trials and turns to verify its effectiveness. Pretending to be a nobleman, I often went out to find women of Kaya's age, took them back to Laoshan under the pretext of marriage, and then dissected their bodies to study the cause of the pathology. ”

The corpses of the women piled up in the inner walls of the church must have been the victims of Bluebeard's experiments. Such cruel and horrific things were told by Bluebeard, and Segolena felt a chill on his back, and he did not dare to show it. Bluebeard didn't realize it, and was still playing with it repeatedly: "In the past ten years, I have been married more than 20 times, and every time the bride did not listen to my persuasion, she went to open the room where I studied alchemy prescriptions without authorization, and finally I took them on the spot, and analyzed them one by one, which made me study more advanced." ”

Segolena had been taught by Brother Kavanagh since childhood, and when Bluebeard relished such bloody killings, he frowned. Although he knew that falling out with Bluebeard at this time would kill several lives, including himself, he was unwilling to go along with it. When Bluebeard said this, he was a little proud: "Later, those women's clansmen came to ask for people, and they were either killed by me or driven away. They couldn't get angry, so they invited a group of so-called 'righteous people' to suppress them. These people are also some mediocre hands who are not worthy of the name, and they are all easily dismissed by me. Only one stinky monk named Capistrano escaped, and he was fated to do so. ”

Bluebeard said it lightly, but Segolena knew how traumatizing the battle had been to Capistrano, and that scar was still fresh in his mind, so that the wise man still did not come out of the shadows. Bluebeard said: "This stinky monk has low martial arts, but his background is not small, and later he actually attracted a messenger of the gospel of the Holy See, this hypocrite is sanctimonious, but his hands are very hard, I really can't beat his Gospel of John." You know the rest of the story, right?"

How did Segolena know, but if he didn't speak, he would reveal his flaws, so he had to guess hard: "Naturally, Catherine and the people of the Blood Alliance went to the aid and laid this Sirius Array for you." Bluebeard nodded, "Exactly." Catherine set up this formation to stop the messenger of the gospel - but don't expect me to accept your blood alliance, it was the critical moment for my prescription to be refined, and you did it just for that prescription. Segolena thought of the countless dried corpses under the root of the sword-headed demon, and thought to himself that it was just to set up such a formation, but to poison these many creatures.

Bluebeard added, "After the messenger of the Gospel retreated, my prescription was almost finished, so I gave Kaya a pill first. Kaya's condition has actually improved, I am overjoyed, and I no longer worry about your blood alliance, and directly give them the medicine that has been refined. But a few months later, Kaya's temperament changed dramatically, and she looked like a dead man, and she has been until now. Thinking that there was still something left to be done in the prescription, I only hoped that I could catch more women to test it, and improve the prescription so that I could teach Kaya to wake up. Later, his voice became hoarse, full of sorrow, and he did not look like a murderous devil.

Segolena stood silently beside her, the woman stiff as a stone, thinking that the poison had penetrated into her bones, her internal organs were completely petrified, and she had obviously been dead for a long time, even if Hippocrates had come back to life, she had no way to recover. This bluebeard generation of famous doctors, when involved in the person he loves, is so confused, it is really sad and lamentable.

After saying this, Bluebeard glared at Segolena and said, "My story has been told to you in full. Tell me, what is the so-called thing that Catherine sent you over?" Segolena was quick-witted, and he already had a plan at this time, so he said unhurriedly: "Grand Duke Lusviko Hunyati of Belgrade, have you heard of this person?" Bluebeard raised his eyebrows slightly: "The old duke of the stubborn stone? ”

Segolena said: "The old duke also suffered from Medusa's weep a few years ago, and his body was getting weaker and weaker. As you know, the Duke is the mountain town of the whole of Eastern Europe, and if he dies, it will shake the foundation of our Holy Religion and allow the Turks to take advantage of it. It was the people of Belgrade who were so anxious that they visited famous doctors everywhere, but unfortunately the needles and stones did not work. Bluebeard said, "Catherine wants me to save this old man?"

Segolena said: "Yes and no. Bluebeard was surprised, "What do you say?" Segolena said, "Venerable also knows that the alchemy prescription is not perfect, and the Blood Alliance also has shortcomings in using it. The reason for this is that the prescription of the respected driver is not verified by the human body. Bluebeard nodded, "The pathological cause of this Medusa cry is still a mystery. Don't talk about cure, it's how to get sick, and no one knows. I captured those women, although their bodies were fresh and healthy, but they did not suffer from Medusa's weeping, and their reference value is limited. Although the world is big, where can I find many patients to verify the prescription? Seeing that he was gradually being drawn by himself, Segolena took the opportunity to say, "So since the Grand Duke of Belgrade also has this disease, it is a godsend. As long as you go to Belgrade to verify the prescription and improve it in the name of fake treatment, I believe that you will get something. ”

Bluebeard sneered: "Hey, your Blood Alliance is dissatisfied with the prescription, you can say it bluntly, why bother going around in such a big circle." Belgrade is a military town, and there are many masters, and I heard that the stinky ascetic Capistrano was still a military advisor there. If I go, Hugh will say that I will be cured, but I am afraid that I will be killed before I even enter the city. Segolena laughed, "That's why Catherine sent me—I don't know that this time I'm here, nominally commissioned by Belgrade." Although Capistrano has a blood feud with you, the old duke is the sickest, and he dares to make any mistakes. Your safety in the city is foolproof. ”

Bluebeard said, "You are young, how can you be so trusted by them?" Segolena shook his wooden staff: "I am a member of the dervishesh and a disciple of the Gospel of Matthew. That's why Beguin and the Holy See sent their own men to go up the mountain with me. Bluebeard couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "It's a bit ridiculous for a Blood Alliance disciple to claim to be a gospel bearer. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his right arm suddenly stretched out, and slammed into Segolena's left shoulder. Segolene's shoulders moved slightly, his palms together, and he cast the Gospel of Matthew to echo it. Bluebeard's skills are indeed unfathomable, although they are not orthodox in martial arts, they have a unique path. He is proficient in medicine, so this method of knowing the palace and fighting the palace is extremely accurate, and the tricks are not far from the key points of the twelve palaces, which makes people unguardable. Segolena intended to defend the middle one, his palms flying, and he put on a posture of only defending and not attacking. Matthew's gospel was calm and heavy, he was on the defensive, and Bluebeard couldn't help him for a while.

After more than ten moves between the two, Bluebeard suddenly jumped out of the circle and said, "Don't fight, don't fight." You kid really have some tricks. Segolena knew that he had come to test his truth, so he just smiled slightly, and stood in place, only to feel that his vest was soaked in cold sweat - he had to say that he had to move the unpredictable Bluebeard down the mountain to heal, and he had to make up his relationship with the Blood Alliance, and he had to save the lives of the other three, and it was so difficult to make up this set of words in a hurry, it was really the first time since he was born. Around Segolena is full of scheming, and the vest is also dripping with sweat.

Bluebeard tried to find out that Segolena was indeed using the authentic Gospel of Matthew, so he believed a few more times. Intent on curing Kaya's illness, he urged: "In that case, you and I should go down the mountain to Belgrade quickly." Segolena said, "Wouldn't it be better if you went to relieve the poison of my three companions first, and then I blessed you and Kaya as a priest, and then went to Belgrade together?" He was just about to get up, but Segolena stopped Bluebeard again and admonished, "My three companions don't know the twists and turns, but they have come to see a famous doctor." Don't say it for a while, it's a big deal. Bluebeard said impatiently, "I'll poison them, won't it save trouble." Frightened, Sai Golena hurriedly said: "These are all the beloved disciples of the martial arts masters, and if they are easily destroyed, our goal will not be achieved, we must not do it." "Bluebeard has a perverse personality, if there were so many things about Segolena, he would have had a seizure, but now for the sake of Kaya, he has to swallow his anger and promise not to have anything to do with the three of them.

The two returned to the chapel, where Rose-Marie was lying unconscious on a wooden platform, still wearing her wedding dress. Bluebeard stared at the girl's white arms and neck, and sighed, "This woman's skin is so delicate and delicate, it would be a pity if you didn't cut it open and take a look." It's better to just let the two of them go back, and let this little girl let me, maybe it will be of great benefit to my prescription." His eyes lit up, and he looked at the girl's body and salivated, as if he had disemboweled, and took out the liver, spleen, and heart to play with them one by one. Segolena was startled, thinking that this woman is a beloved disciple of the Gospel of Simon, how can you move a finger, and hurriedly stood between Rosemary and Bluebeard, and said solemnly: "This woman is my close lover, if you touch her, you have to kill me first." ”

Segolena knew that Bluebeard had a strange temper and a vendetta against the messenger of the gospel, and if Rosemary was a disciple of Provenzano, Bluebeard would not have bought it, but it might have been possible to resonate with this fiery eccentric man with emotion. Sure enough, as expected, Bluebeard grinned, patted Segolena and said, "You kid, you can get the disciples of Simon's gospel, and you are an outlier in the blood alliance." Segolena smiled. Bluebeard flicked his hand and brushed away several closed palaces around her. Rosemary suddenly coughed violently, and Segolena leaned over to probe her breath, but the girl's eyes widened suddenly, and without saying a word, she stabbed him with the spike in her wrist.

Segolena dodged past, Rosemary stabbed a few times, and suddenly realized that she was wearing a wedding dress, raised her eyes and looked around, and saw that there were rotting corpses all around, and she was greatly stimulated for a while, and fainted again.

Bluebeard smiled coldly and said, "You lover, you are really strong. He woke up Ethel and Romulus, who were sitting among the dead bodies. When they regained their senses, they were both shocked. Fortunately, Segolena was prepared, first pressed their shoulders, and calmed down after a bit of true qi, and then explained. Vaguely saying that it was just a misunderstanding before, but now it has been explained clearly, Bluebeard is willing to go to Belgrade for the sake of the Holy Religion to treat Yunyun in person.

After all, Romulus was more knowledgeable, and after listening to a few words from Segolena, he calmed down. Ethel hung his head timidly, leaning into Segolina's arms. She was most afraid of ghosts, and was criticized by her mother for her lack of faith in God at the Beguin Society, and when she thought that she had even sat with those corpses, she was in a big mess, and her right hand involuntarily grabbed Segolina's sleeve, and her body trembled slightly, like a baby longing for her mother. Segolena had no choice but to hug her with one hand and gently pat her on the back with the other to show comfort. Ethel's eyes welled up in tears, and he muttered, "Is this the hell that the Divine Comedy says...... and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Seeing them like this, Romulus's lips squirmed a few times, but he didn't say anything, and flew over to look at his junior sister. Rosemarie was just stunned, but it wasn't a big deal. Romulus pushed the palace a few times, and Rosemary woke up, but a strange look appeared on her pale cheeks, and she stared at the pile of women's bones beside the church.

Only then did Romulus put his mind at ease and hugged his fist at Segolena: "It's only because I am brave and brave that I will be fooled by mistake for the light army. Bluebeard said unhappily on the side: "Hey, whose trick did you say?" Romulus turned his head and said, "Your Excellency is Bluebeard?" Bluebeard nodded, and Romulus said: "We are here this time to ask you to go down the mountain to save the old duke, but it does not mean that I agree with the style of acting with the honorable driver." God is above, and a murderer like Your Excellency will sooner or later fall into the wrong way. ”

Bluebeard laughed when he heard this, and Romulus felt that his eardrums were shaken, and he knew that there was a gap in their skills. Bluebeard walked up to him and gestured to his neck: "The prisoners you Inquisition kill every year are far more cruel than mine, and I wonder what qualifications you have to teach them?"

Romulus was about to say something when Segolena coughed, and he had to shut up. He is upright by nature, if he didn't care about the old duke's condition, it is estimated that he would go directly to Bluebeard at this time. Romulus simply ignored Bluebeard, turned around and walked to Ethel, who was still cowering in Segolena's arms, and said, "Sister Ethel, Rosemary has been changed into a wedding dress and has difficulty moving, can you go and help her change it?"

Ethel wiped her tears and let out a "hmm" as she struggled to get up from Segolena's arms, only to realize that something was wrong with her actions, and her face flushed for a moment. She didn't dare to look at Segolena squarely, walked to the altar with her head down, and suddenly let out an exclamation. The others quickly turned their heads, only to see Rosemary slumped on the table, a trace of blood flowing from her lips.

Romulus exclaimed, "Oops, it's a scorpion tail poison pill!" Before the four of them left, Capistrano had given Rosemary and Ethel two scorpion tail poison pills to take in case they were caught and to preserve their innocence. I didn't expect her to eat it at this time. Romulus knew that his junior sister was cold on the surface, but in fact she was extremely strong. She was stripped naked by Bluebeard and changed into a wedding dress while she was in a coma, and she couldn't tolerate it when she woke up.

Bluebeard sneered, "I haven't touched this woman yet, so I did all these tricks. Romulus was furious, and Segolene pressed him by the shoulder, shouting, "Your Majesty promised me to keep her safe!" Bluebeard shrugged, stepped forward, and slapped his giant palm on Rosemary's vest. Rosemary was slammed into the blow, leaning forward, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Bluebeard looked at the color of the blood and said, "Capistrano is also stingy, this kind of thing is also worthy of being called scorpion tail poison, it really laughs at the dead." He counted the stars in the palace with both hands, and then pinched Rosemary's little mouth, and with a flick of his nails, a wisp of gray powder had bounced into her belly.

Romulus shouted, "What did you give her to eat?" Bluebeard said, "I used my palm force to force out her poisonous blood just now, and now I'm cleaning my stomach." Before she could finish speaking, Rosemary woke up suddenly, opened her mouth and vomited, until the contents of her stomach were clean, and the smell was incomparable. Bluebeard nudged lightly, and the girl collapsed limply to the ground, and Segolena grabbed it and hugged it. Bluebeard said: "There is only some residual poison left in her body, and it is okay to do it, but she has been like a waste person for the past few days, and she needs to recuperate slowly." He added: "Before I go to Belgrade, I have to prepare some utensils and medicines, so you can wait here." With that, he turned and left.

Segolena was holding Rosemarie in her arms, and suddenly felt the girl in her arms move, and looked down to see her. Rosemary's eyes were glazed and slightly unfocused, her head tilted to the side, but her lips squirmed, as if she had something to say. Segolena leaned down and listened, only to hear a girl's soft voice in his ear: "You villain, I can hear your conversation with that bluebeard clearly......"

Segolena was shocked. It turned out that Rosemary had been lying on the table, unable to move, but her hearing was clear. The conversation he had with Bluebeard in the church posing as a member of the Blood Alliance had all come to her ears. Fortunately, Bluebeard later took him to Kaya's room, otherwise she would have heard more and was afraid that the misunderstanding would have deepened.

Only then did Rosemary realize that she was being held by Segolena, struggling to get up, and her tone was a little more embarrassed: "You...... I'm not your intimate lover...... Bastard, I'll kill ...... You. After speaking, he was out of breath and his voice was almost inaudible. Segolena smiled wryly, and at this time she had no time to distinguish, so she had to let her misunderstand for the time being.

Romulus came over at this time and asked how the little sister was doing. Segolena said: "It's fine, but I'm still very emotional." We can stop her for the time being, but I'm afraid she won't be able to figure it out on her own. Romulus knew that this junior sister's temperament was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and she was very strong, so she reached out and pointed at the star point of her Cancer Palace, and Simon's internal force penetrated through her body, and Rosemary snorted and fell into a deep sleep. This is the method of calming the mind in the Gospel of Simon, which is enough to allow her to sleep peacefully for more than ten hours, which is very beneficial to the body.

Romulus left Rosemary in the care of Ethel and said to Segolena, "If it weren't for you this time, we would have been almost wiped out. Segolena humbled a few words, and then told the story of Bluebeard and Kaya. Ethel listened and widened his eyes: "In this way, this bluebeard is a person who values love and righteousness. Romulus frowned and said, "Sister Ethel, it is really not advisable for this person to kill himself for his own selfishness. Ethel stuck out his tongue, not daring to say anything more. Romulus hurriedly added: "I am not accusing you, sister, but we, the apostles of God, must always be careful in our minds, and we must not deviate from them for a moment. Although this bluebeard can save the old man's life, we must also remember that this man is not a good person. ”

Romulus was chattering when Bluebeard's voice called them over in the distance. Segolena said, "I think he wanted me to officiate at Kaya's wedding." Romulus said a little unhappily: "Life and death are divided, and it is not in harmony with etiquette." One of them is a dead man and the other is a living man, how can they receive God's blessing?" Knowing that this man was a little pedantic, Segolena persuaded: "All for the sake of the old duke, let it be in power." ”

Romulus snorted: "I, the Ximen people, am orthodox in the Holy See, and such things cannot be tolerated, so it is better for you to go yourself." I just didn't see it. Ethel straightened up at this point, waved his arms and said, "I want to go too." His eyes were full of eagerness. This girl is new to the rivers and lakes, and no one can stop her curiosity.

Romulus stayed in the church to take care of Rosemary, while Ethel followed Segolena to Kaya's room in the village. Bluebeard was already waiting there, wearing a gown, with a hint of nervousness and shyness on his face, and his blue beard was straight and straight, looking quite funny. When he saw Segolena coming, he grabbed his arm and said, "Kaya is seriously ill and can't move, so bless us at the bedside." ”

Ethel looked curiously to the left and right, and saw a woman lying in the tent, and quietly pulled Segolena's arm and said, "That's Kaya, right?" Segolena said, "Exactly, you can't talk nonsense, just watch." Then he took the wooden staff in his hand and began to officiate at the ceremony.

It is said that it is a wedding ceremony, but in fact, it is just a simple process. Segolena recited a blessing verse, then took a cross, dipped it in water and wiped it on the foreheads of the bride and groom. Bluebeard lifted the tent and whispered softly to Kaya, "Behold, my dear, with the blessing of the priest, you and I are already a husband and wife recognized by God. "Prop her up and wait for the priest to wipe her forehead with a cross. Segolena thought that Kaya had been dead for many years, and he was still obsessed, and this person was also quite pathetic, and his heart felt a pang of compassion.

As soon as Ethel saw Kaya's body, he let out a small exclamation. Bluebeard is furious when he thinks she's going to obstruct the wedding.

Segolena hurriedly said: "The ceremony is not over, and the groom must not leave without permission." Bluebeard held back his anger and glared at Ethel, causing her to lose her face and step aside.

The whole wedding ceremony only lasted ten minutes, and it was over. Bluebeard was in a good mood to get his wish fulfilled, and instead of pursuing Ethel's faux pas, he told Segolena and Ethel to wait outside the door, and after he had settled Kaya, he came out to meet them.

After the two of them left the house, Segolena suddenly asked, "Why did you exclaim when you saw Kaya?" and Ethel said, "Is she a dead man?" Segolena sighed, "Exactly, this Bluebeard is so affectionate that he can't even tell the difference between life and death." Ethel looked at the wooden house behind him, quietly tugged on Segolena's sleeve and said, "Before Mama left, she told me that if I came to Laoshan this time, if I saw anything unusual, I would go back to report her." ”

Segolenaki said, "What did you find?" Ethel hesitated for a moment in fear of Bluebeard's might, and said, "I see that Miss Nakaya's appearance is very similar to that of a nun named Tessa of our Beguin. ”
