After returning to Shengjing, I asked Ah Yun why the soldiers of the Xuanyi Army had betrayed Ling Niankong in just five years and followed his orders instead.

I was really surprised by the answer he gave me.

Ah Yun said that back then, Shen Annihilation went around plundering young children, not only to cultivate evil skills, but also to train an "army" that could defeat hundreds of enemies, and that "army" was the current Xuanyi Army.

Everyone in the Xuanyi Army was carefully selected by Shen Yan.

These people will be planted with a kind of Gu, this Gu is called "Heart-Warming Gu", and the people in the Gu will obey the words of the designated people, and the one who controls them is the Xuanyi Army token that is now tied to Ah Yun's waist.

"So, Ling Niankong and Luo Chenran were also planted with Gu?" I asked.

Ah Yun shook his head. "For some reason, these two are exceptions."

I narrowed my eyes and felt that something was not right.

"You just said that only the designated person can mobilize the Xuanyi Army with a token, so how did you become the designated person?"

When Ah Yun was placed next to Ling Niankong, Shen Yan was already seriously injured.

Moreover, Ah Yun and Shen Yan have never crossed paths, and it is unlikely that Shen Yun will designate him as the commander of the Xuanyi Army.

"In order to be able to mobilize the Xuanyi army, two conditions must be met:

First of all, the commander of the Xuanyi Army must be a Fenglimen;

Secondly, it is necessary to obtain the permission of the person who has placed the Gu to perform the spell. ”

I followed Ah Yun's words, listening and thinking:

Ah Yun is my companion, and Xiwuzi is also with me, so strictly speaking, he is also a disciple of Master Xiuli, and because he is older than me, he is my senior brother.

So this first one, Ah Yun is satisfied.

But this second ......

"Ah Yun, have you ever seen Shen Annihilation? She used a spell for you to allow you to mobilize the Xuanyi Army? ”

"It's not Shen Yan, it's Master."

"What?"

I don't understand what he meant.

"Master is the one who cultivates Gu.

Before Gongzi sent me to Ling Niankong's side, Master performed a spell on me.

Moreover, Master also instructed me to tell you one thing when you remember everything from the past. ”

"What?"

"Master said that as long as you have the token in hand, you can also mobilize the Xuanyi Army."

"Me? But Master didn't cast a spell on me! ”

"Master secretly performed a spell on you as early as when he taught you martial arts, but you didn't know it."

I was amazed, but I couldn't remember when Master had performed a spell on me.

However, when I first started to practice the spiritual rhino technique from my master, he did pass on my true qi many times, could it be that at that time, I also performed the technique?

In this way, Shen Yan and Master have actually been working together to train the Xuanyi Army for so many years?

I thought that since she was immersed in oblivion and practiced evil skills, Master had made it easy for her to cut off contact, but it seems that I was wrong......

Ah Yun looked at me with a puzzled look and added:

"Master said that the Fengli Sect has protected the Yan clan for generations, and the Xuanyi Army is also set up for this. And you'll have to be able to mobilize the Xuanyi Army.

To put it more clearly, those more than ten people actually exist to protect you. ”

Listening to Ah Yun's last words, I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart.

suddenly remembered that Xiao Jifeng said to her corpse after discovering that Shen was dead:

"Letting you die at the hands of someone you wholeheartedly protect is also my greatest reward for you."

At the time, I didn't understand what it meant, but now I finally understand.

******

Ever since Ah Yun took me out of the wooden house behind the Lingxiu Mountain, my heart has been going up and down.

After all, when I left, the way he and Ling Niankong went toe-to-toe was really terrifying.

Ah Yun knew that I was worried, so on the way to Shengjing, he sent a message to Zhu Yu to inquire about the situation.

Zhu Yu's reply said that there was indeed a battle between the two sides after I left that day, but the people on both sides did not get any benefits, and in the end they did not come up with a result, so they retreated.

When I saw that the letter said that Ah Ran was fine, I was relieved.

Since it was only after me, it would take a few days for Ah Ran to reach Shengjing. So I stayed in this house in peace until he came.

******

Although it is now autumn, the autumn tigers have become more and more powerful in recent days, and the steaming heat cannot even be lowered at night.

When the body is weak, not only is it cold in winter, but it is also unbearable in hot days, and it is very squeamish.

Fortunately, this "Shen Mansion" is built on a pond to kill some of the summer heat, otherwise I am afraid that I would have become a roasted crab long ago.

Whenever there is high heat, it will be cold. I've been wearing insect repellent every night, lying on a lounge chair in the veranda outside the house with a fan, and only going to sleep when sleepiness strikes.

Otherwise, you must sweat on the couch until dawn.

There were several times before I fell asleep on the recliner outside, and I was woken up by the maid before going back to sleep in the house.

It wasn't until I got cold one day that I fell asleep, and I remembered it for a long time, and I went back to sleep when I was a little sleepy.

Maybe it's because I fell on the pillow once, and the maids in the courtyard are more attentive. When I woke up in a daze in the court for the past two days, I would find that I had a thin quilt on my body.

Tonight, as usual, I opened my eyes in a daze, and was dazzled by the round moon, and hurriedly rubbed it.

I looked down and found that I was covered with a silk quilt.

I rolled up the quilt in my arms, stood up, and staggered back into the house.

As soon as I lay on the bed, I felt that I was going to sweat again, and I closed my eyes to touch the fan, and after touching it for a long time, I remembered that the fan fell on the recliner outside.

I sighed helplessly, and could only wipe my eyes half-open and wipe the door to find the fan.

I opened the door and was about to go out, but I kicked something under my feet.

I looked down and saw a man sitting in the doorway through the half-squinted eyes!

The man was kicked in the leg by me, but he stood up immediately after a shock.

The white moonlight reflected the side of his face, but his face seemed to be three points whiter than the moonlight.

I was immediately conscious, but he was trying to escape.

"Stop!"

The autumn night was quiet, except for my slightly out of tune voice.

It was as if he had been immobilized suddenly, his back to me, his body frozen.

I adjusted my somewhat disturbed breathing, paced behind him, and spoke in a flat voice:

"Why are you running away? Don't you want to rob me again? ”

Ling Niankong turned around to face me with difficulty, his eyebrows furrowed, his face as white as paper, and a faint smell of wine exuded around him.

I thought of the three swords that Ah Ran stabbed him, and my eyes secretly swept around him.

Although he couldn't see any clues, he also knew that the three injuries were not light, and he was afraid that he had just been able to go to the ground.

After being so badly injured and still drinking, this madman is afraid that he will die!

I closed my eyes and suppressed the resentment in my heart.

"I've found out, aren't you going to say anything?"

I looked up at him again, and my eyes were full of unspeakable pain.

He slowly raised his hand, as if to grab my shoulder, but when he was about to touch it, he stopped, and restrained himself.

I looked into his eyes and saw that his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and the sparkling light seemed to be a little brighter than the moon in the sky, like a galaxy, dazzling me.

"Yan'er ......"

As soon as this call came out, the galaxy in his eyes poured out and fell.

He curled his lips in embarrassment, and immediately two more strings of tears slid down the wet marks on his cheeks.

"Yan'er...... Originally...... It turns out that you have been injured so much...... I have been wronged so much......

I thought I owed you a life. But you don't want me to owe you, and I can't pay it back in this life......"

He gasped a little, but continued:

"I originally wanted to protect you well, and no one was allowed to deceive you. But in the end, it was I who hurt you the most......

Yan'er, am I ...... Not eligible anymore? ”

The moment I saw his tears, my whole body froze.

It was the first time, the first time I saw this man in tears.

Not because of pain, not because of frustration, but because of me.

I endured the severe pain and said stiffly: "It's good that you know." ”

"Yan'er, maybe what you said at that time was right, I can only bring you pain. So, I'll stay away from you in the future. I decided...... Let you go......"

"Okay."

I don't know what else to say other than that.

"Yan'er, you must take care of yourself, you know?"

I was silent for a moment and said softly, "You go, don't come again." ”

After speaking, I turned around and walked to the bottom of the porch, picked up the fan on the chaise longue, entered the door, and turned around.

Just about to close the door, a gust of night wind blew in his face, and what he brought was the uneasy advice of the people in the courtyard: "Yan'er, take care of yourself......"

The wind stopped, but the sound did not fall, echoing everywhere, stirring the autumn water in a courtyard.

I was suddenly a little frightened, and my hand by the door tightened, and before he could stir my heart, I slammed everything outside the house into the crack of the door......
