Chapter 19: Gusu Yicheng (5)
There have been many rumors circulating in Gusu City recently, which have made people panic, and many people have closed their doors, and the entire lively Gusu City has become silent and depressed and desolate in an instant.
The world is crazy that it is the female devil Mantuo who killed people without blinking an eye back then.
Because, outside the door of a righteous village, there were more corpses of sixteen adult men overnight, all of them died from the rotten bones of the Five Poisons Sect, their faces were black, and their whole bodies were black and swollen after being blistered for a few days, and they all had a common feature, that is, there were no bones, only the heads were left on their bodies and were still unharmed, and the rest were only empty skin sacs supported by the blood and water whose bones had been melted.
One day, in the Lotus Garden, Leng Banxia sat by the lotus lake, holding himself with both hands, his chin against his knees, and his eyes were a little red looking at the lotus flowers in the lake.
She didn't know what was going on, her memories were all confused after she was drunk, she only remembered that someone insulted her master at that time, and she took out a bottle of "silent" in a fit of anger, but silence only made people lose their voices temporarily, and it would not kill people, could it be that it was taken by mistake?
Thinking about it, tears fell suddenly, blaming herself over and over again, and she couldn't suppress the guilt in her heart, she didn't want them to die in the first place.
Perhaps, their insults to the master at the beginning gave her a little comfort, at least she didn't kill innocents indiscriminately, and she had a reason to comfort herself!
"I know, it's not your fault......" Lan Yicheng suddenly appeared behind Leng Banxia, and said slowly behind his hands.
Leng Banxia didn't look back, nor did he answer him, still looking at the lotus pond in great disappointment.
Lan Yicheng slowly sat down beside her, took out the rock sugar gourd hidden behind him, took out one and handed it to her, and said, "I know that you are sad today, so I specially bought a rock sugar gourd, try it!"
Leng Banxia glanced at the rock sugar gourd in front of him, snorted coldly, then turned around, turned his back to Lan Yicheng, frowned, and let the tears fall little by little.
Seeing her like this, Lan Yicheng softened a little, she was simpler than Mantuo ten years ago, and she would be so sad for a few lives, but he, the arranger, didn't feel sad at all.
When Lan Yicheng noticed that Nangong Yuexi had come to Qinghe Garden, and it was not far from here, his heart was ruthless, his eyes turned to Leng Banxia on the side, and he said very gently: "My shoulder lends you, it will be a little better to cry here, after all, I brought you this wine!"
As he spoke, he patted him on the shoulder, saw Leng Banxia turn around and glanced at him, instantly raised his hand to hold Leng Banxia's head and put it on his shoulder, gently patted Leng Banxia's back shoulder with one hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with the other, and whispered: "I'll accompany you to think of a remedy......"
This scene happened to be seen by Nangong Yuexi, who was now on the other side of the lotus pond in the distance, and almost fainted out of breath, but fortunately, he was supported by the leaves behind him, so he didn't fall weakly.
At this time, Ye Zi's wrist was also pinched by Nangong Yuexi, but Ye Zi never said a word, she knew that her master's heart was very painful at this time, and this move was unintentional and unintentional.
I only watched Nangong Yuexi walk out of Qinghe Garden, and went straight to a very inconspicuous medical house on the outskirts of the city, this time she didn't bring anyone else, only her own henchman Ye, and hurried out of the city in a carriage.
"Yezi, what did you find out about the Qinghe Garden?" Nangong Yuexi Tie blushed and asked indifferently.
Ye Zi replied while driving the carriage: "The master hid her very well, and almost no one knows where she came from, but I heard the maid who took care of her in Heyuan said that her name is Leng Banxia, and her martial arts skills are good, which is somewhat similar to the master's path!"
After hearing this, Nangong Yuexi suddenly understood something, the corner of her mouth smiled coldly, her hand slowly clenched her fists, and the ruthlessness made her hand blue instantly, only to hear her say very coldly: "It's very good!" I thought you were dead for so many years! I didn't find and taught such an excellent apprentice, I didn't take Lan Yicheng from me back then, and now I send your apprentice to rob it? Mantuo, don't you think! ”
As soon as the words fell, Nangong Yuexi suddenly remembered the sixteen people who had recently died in Yizhuang, their whole bodies were black, bleeding from their seven orifices, and the bones and flesh of their bodies were turned into pus except for the skull, wrapped under a human skin, like a soaked corpse.
Isn't this the masterpiece of the Five Poisons Sect's rotten bones?
"Ye Zi, do you know the sixteen lives of Yizhuang?" Nangong Yuexi walked to the carriage and sat side by side with Ye Zi, and then asked.
Ye Zi turned his head and glanced at Nangong Yuexi, thought for a moment and then said: "I heard that it was the old man who took Miss Leng to take a boat on the Mirror Lake, and those sixteen people were talking about Mantuo, maybe the words were a little ugly, the white girl and them almost started to move, and the others don't know!"
Nangong Yuexi looked at the destination she was about to arrive in front of her, and couldn't help but shake her head, her eyes suddenly became a lot sharper, and her tone was cold, only listening to her say: "Ye Zi, go back and find someone to spread the news in Gusu, just say that those people died from rotten bones, and now the murderous female devil is back!" The more people know, the better, you know? ”
As soon as the words fell, Nangong Yuexi noticed the bruises on Ye Zi's wrists, and her heart ached instantly, she pulled her wrist and rubbed it gently, and said with some self-reproach: "Yezi, I'm sorry!" I pinched you just now, why didn't you say it just now? If I break you, I'm going to die of distress! ”
Ye Zi turned her head and smiled, letting Nangong Yuexi take her hand and rub the bruise, she knew that for so many years, there was only one confidant by Madame's side, she was bitter and happy in her heart, and she was the one who confided in the most, Nangong Yuexi was just a little proud and unwilling, she liked Lan Yicheng, and she loved him so much that she couldn't extricate herself and almost possessed it! But Mrs. is also a person who can't tolerate sand in her eyes.
Nangong Yuexi held Ye Zi's wrist, and her whole mind had returned to ten years ago, when she and Lan Yicheng first met.
That year, on the streets of Anling, Nangong Yuexi's soul palm had just been learned, chasing a woman who had stolen the Nangong family's eight-treasure glazed jewel and running all over the street, seeing that person dying and falling to the street, with only one breath left.
Lan Yicheng suddenly stopped Nangong Yuexi, but how arrogant she was at that time, how could she be so willing?
After a few tricks, the two were indistinguishable, and after some inquiry, they learned that the woman stole because the three-year-old child in the family had a serious illness and had no money for treatment, so she made this decision. After learning about it, Lan Yicheng paid for Nangong Yuexi's Eight Treasures Glazed Yingluo, and sent it to the woman to heal the child.
Later, Nangong Yuexi learned that the money he bought for the Eight Treasures Glass Yingluo was saved little by little by him by making a bounty notice for the government to catch thieves for a year, but he didn't even blink an eye and sent it to the woman to heal the child.
When Lan Yicheng's deeds on the rivers and lakes spread little by little, Nangong Yuexi was also fascinated by him, such a chivalrous man who cherished the world and saw unevenness on the road was not the Ruyi Langjun she had been looking for?
But God seemed to be playing tricks on her, when she fell in love with Lan Yicheng, she learned that Lan Yicheng's martial arts were all taught by Mantuo, the woman who was inseparable from Lan Yicheng, and the disciple of the Five Poisons Sect.
Now, Mantuo's disciple appeared in front of her again, thinking that she Nangong Yuexi would join hands with her husband, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't get rid of the shadow of Mantuo.
While speaking, Nangong Yuexi came to the door of the medical house......
The medicine house was located not far from a temple, with a hedged courtyard, two thatched huts, a courtyard full of medicinal herbs, and a young man in gray clothes in his early twenties.
Nangong Yuexi walked past the young man, stood at the door of the thatched house, raised her hand and knocked gently. For a moment, I only saw a middle-aged man with a slightly dark complexion, a handful of goatee, and a slight wrinkle on his face coming out of it, and slowly walked out.
"Brother Lian, it's me...... Yuexi ......" Nangong Yuexi looked at the emaciated brother Lian in front of him, who was nearly half a hundred years old, and said.
Lian Xihan just glanced at her, then walked past her and walked towards the young man Luo Sumu who was fiddling with medicinal herbs.
When Luo Sumu saw Master Lian Xihan coming over, he stopped what he was doing, turned around and saluted very respectfully: "Master, this half summer has been dried for almost ......."
Lian Xihan just glanced at him, and then said coldly: "Heavy sun!"
Luo Sumu's jaw dropped in shock, he has been turning and drying for five days in these half summers, and he is still drying it even though it has been dried, I'm afraid it's not because of this uninvited guest!
"Brother Lian, take a look at me, do you really don't recognize Yuexi?" Nangong Yuexi followed behind Lian Xihan, aggrieved like a crying Lin Daiyu who felt sorry for herself.
Lian Xihan still didn't pay attention to her, for this sister Yuexi who grew up together since childhood, she can't be understood, she has always been arrogant, and now she is the wife of the famous blue hero, how could she deign to come to such a small place, presumably she has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.
"Brother Lian, you and I have had a great friendship since we were children, can you bear to watch your sister Yuexi suffer like this?"
"Why is it difficult?"
Lian Xihan has been reluctant to talk much since she was a child, she has always been silent in front of outsiders, and she was willing to say a few words in front of Nangong Yuexi before, but now she doesn't need to say much when she is married to a wife.
Nangong Yuexi shed a few tears, sobbed a few times, and said slowly as if she had suffered a great grievance in her crying voice: "Mantuo's disciple is back...... Her appearance not only robbed my husband, but also killed sixteen lives, you know the viciousness of Mantuo back then, and you also know the grievances between Mantuo and our husband and wife, I am afraid...... I'm scared! Even my brother ......"
Lian Xihan looked at her like this, lowered his head and said coldly: "Don't look for me!"
His meaning is very clear, Nangong Yuexi is the only heir of the Nangong family's soul palm, if he really makes a move, he is afraid that it will be difficult for Mantuo back then to resist, how can he be afraid of a female apprentice?
Nangong Yuexi saw what Lian Xihan meant, and then she cried more and more, grabbing Lian Xihan's arm with one hand and her lower abdomen with the other, and said in a dilemma: "Brother Lian, do you think I don't want to take action in person?" But I already have Lan Yicheng's flesh and blood, and I avoid children, how can I bear to use my martial arts! Now, Leng Banxia is pretending to be a woman from a good family in front of my husband, but she has already killed sixteen people behind her back, just like her master, all of whom are benevolent and righteous heroes who are dissatisfied with Mantuo! After a pause, he continued: "Even my brother knows that those sixteen people died of rotten bones, and how cruel the methods were, turning a living person into a pool of blood!" Brother Lian, now you are the only one who can help me...... Otherwise, the next one who will be scattered into blood by Leng Banxia with rotten bones is your sister Yuexi! ”
