Chapter Ninety-Nine: Haunting Dreams 1
At midnight, inside a separate mansion on the outskirts of Wan'an City.
Cang Wunian rubbed his brows, which were a little painful, for some reason, he always felt a little stuffy in his heart tonight, and there was a feeling of trepidation that oppressed him, making him feel very uncomfortable.
Most of the people in the mansion had fallen asleep, except for a few guards who patrolled at night. After thinking about it, Cang Wunian got up and walked aimlessly into the backyard.
The moon and stars are sparse, the air is slightly cool, and there is silence all around, only the sound of insects chirping can be heard. Cang Wunian stood alone in the moonlight, and his elongated figure looked a little lonely.
As soon as he raised his hand, the talisman that Ji Wuxin had given him when he was leaving appeared in his palm. Cang Wunian's eyes condensed slightly, and as soon as his mind moved, the talisman was burned into ashes by the flames he had condensed with his mana.
......
In a dark castle, in the spacious hall, sixteen pillars are carved with strange totems, and lights with a faint blue light are hanging from the beams.
At the end of the main hall, on the first throne, a man in a black robe and cloak leaned lazily on an ebony throne that was very spacious but looked extremely quaint.
The man was shrouded tightly in a black cloak, revealing only a pair of shining eyes with a slight chill. At this time, the man was indifferently looking down at Ji Wuxin, who was kneeling on one knee under the stairs.
"Wuxin, you have disappointed this seat very much. The man's tone was calm, and he couldn't hear the joy or anger.
Ji Wuxin's face was still as pale as in the daytime, and it could be seen that the backlash of the Heart Devouring Gu was still continuing in her body.
Ji Wuxin raised her head slightly, the faint blue light set off her already pale face very strangely, she clenched her fists with some difficulty and said: "Unintentional action is not good, let the master down, please punish the master!"
The man glanced at her faintly: "This seat has exhausted all its efforts to shape you, but it is not to punish you. ”
Hearing this, Ji Wuxin breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she was about to speak, the man's words changed: "But if you don't punish you, I'm afraid you will be more likely to make mistakes in the future." ”
As soon as the man's voice fell, Ji Wuxin couldn't help but shudder, the master was thoughtful, the person before and after the person was completely two looks, she didn't know what the master's way of punishing his subordinates was, but his attitude that he could control her life and death without raising his hand still made her feel a panic.
"The host ......"
Ji Wuxin was just about to open her mouth to explain something, when a phantom of a talisman appeared in front of her, and then the phantom was surrounded by a flame and burned out.
"Who sent you a message?" the man asked faintly after seeing the flamed talisman phantom.
"Back to the master, it's Gu Wunian. Ji Wuxin hurriedly replied.
"Oh, how could our dignified young master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion be willing to have something to do with such a fake princess as you?" the man's tone was slightly uncertain.
"The young master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion seems to be very interested in that girl named Situ Cheng, and I made an agreement with him when I kidnapped the girl from the palace, and he asked me to let the girl go, and when he gets the secret of the king of Wansang Kingdom, he will tell me about it in the future. Ji Wuxin explained.
"You have been in the palace for more than three years and have not found out the secret, this kid actually found out so quickly? The man chuckled, his shining eyes smearing with a hint of calculation.
"According to the unintentional investigation, that Gu Wunian is by no means an extraordinary person, his martial arts attainments are not under the unintentional, and even his spells look a little weird. In addition to him, there are also the Fallen Mortal Daoist and Situ Hui, they are not ordinary people. Ji Wuxin said in a deep voice.
The man was silent for a moment, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of the ebony throne. Then he slowly stood up, and with a wave of his robe, a glowing green elixir hovered in front of Ji Wuxin.
"You should take this pill first. Since the young master of Qianji Pavilion has made an appointment, it would be too rude for you not to go. The man said lightly.
Ji Wuxin grabbed the pale green pill suspended in front of her, swallowed it directly into her stomach without thinking about it, and then she hugged her fists again and saluted: "Thank you, master, Wuxin will go and get the news back for the master." ”
......
In the empty courtyard, Cang Wunian stood with his hands in his hands, and it had been about a stick of incense since he burned the communication talisman, and he frowned slightly, could it be that this Ji Wuxin had an accident?
The next moment, he felt an unusual aura fluctuation in the courtyard, and the void behind him twisted for no reason.
As soon as Cang Wunian turned around, he saw that Ji Wuxin, who was dressed in an indigo gauze skirt, had already appeared in this courtyard. is different from the appearance of brocade clothes on weekdays, Ji Wuxin washed the lead at this time, the green silk reached his waist, and there was a slight breath of life that no one should enter.
"It seems that your Gu poison is no longer in the way. Cang Wunian looked at Ji Wuxin's face and said without any surprise.
"Thank you for your concern, but I didn't expect that Miao'er would grasp the secret of the Wansang royal family so quickly, which really makes Wuxin admire. Ji Wuxin smiled lightly.
"It's just luck. Since I promised you, I will definitely do it. But before I tell you this secret, there's one thing I want to ask you first. Cang Wunian said.
Ji Wuxin smiled bitterly: "If I guessed correctly, you must want to ask about my master." But it's a pity, I only know that he is from the witch clan and is proficient in all kinds of witchcraft, and the rest don't say I don't know, even if I do, I have nothing to say. ”
Cang Wunian nodded, Ji Wuxin's answer was in his expectation, and he didn't mean to be a strong man, and then spoke: "The secret that has been passed down from generation to generation by Wansang Guojun is the whereabouts of the Dragon Blood Divine Tree. ”
"Dragon Blood Divine Tree, are you talking about the Immortal Tree?" Ji Wuxin asked with some surprise.
Cang Wunian raised his eyebrows: "Oh, looking at your expression, I must have heard of this thing." ”
Ji Wuxin nodded, and asked with some urgency: "Where is the Dragon Blood Divine Tree?"
"West of the West Sea, in the Kunlun Mountains. Cang Wunian said lightly.
"West of the West Sea...... It's no wonder that Wan Sangguo has only kept this secret for so many years, and it turns out that it is simply beyond the reach of personal power. Ji Wuxin said suddenly.
"Ordinary mortals are naturally unreachable, but perhaps your master will not be able to reach it after a hundred and eighty years. Cang Wunian glanced at her lightly and said with a little playfulness.
Ji Wuxin raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "It's not bad to say this, but presumably with the ability of Confused, you should be able to reach Kunlun Mountain in one hundred and eighty years." ”
Cang Wunian's eyes condensed slightly: "You think highly of me, I am just a mortal, I know some superficial techniques, how can I cross a realm and go to such an unreachable place." ”
Sensing Cang Wunian's vigilance, Ji Wuxin changed the topic: "By the way, I don't know what good news Yu'er can bring me this time?"
"It's only been half a day, where can I get you so much news. Cang Wunian said noncommittally.
"Looking at Miao'er's attitude, it seems that he doesn't plan to fulfill his promise? The young master of the dignified Thousand Machines Pavilion, he can't get a single news he wants in half a day? If my guess is right, in the Thousand Machines Pavilion, the more bizarre the news, the more important it is, and the more strange the news, the more important it is, and the words of the puzzled make it difficult for Wuxin to be convinced. The corners of Ji Wuxin's mouth hooked up a faint mockery.
Ji Wuxin is not wrong in what he said, in the Thousand Machine Pavilion, the more bizarre and rare things are, the greater the gold content of their information, and the core figures of the Thousand Machine Pavilion basically have these sources.
Originally, Cang Wunian could not even tell her the whereabouts of the Dragon Blood Divine Tree, anyway, the painting Allure City is now safe and sound, and Ji Wuxin has no chips in his hand that can threaten him. The reason why he informed Ji Wuxin was actually to see who the master behind Ji Wuxin was, maybe the other party had some heavenly skills, let him lead the way in front, and Cang Wunian could also secretly figure out what way to quickly reach Kunlun Mountain.
But for what Cang Wunian wanted to know, Ji Wuxin had nothing to say, which couldn't help but make Cang Wunian's heart a little unhappy.
seemed to be aware of Cang Wunian's disdain, but Ji Wuxin slowly raised his hand, brushed the hair hanging from his sideburns, and said in a light tone: "I really don't understand, as careful and wise as you, how can you think that I didn't bet a little chip on myself?"
The last word fell, and Cang Wunian's body suddenly exuded a strong chill, and he said in a cold voice, "What did you do to her?"
"It's nothing, it's just a Gu that happened to you. Ji Wuxin smiled slightly, and after seeing Cang Wunian's eyes that might kill her at any time, she changed her words: "Don't be so excited, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had a chance to play this kind of Gu on her." ”
"What kind of Gu did you play on her?" asked Cang Wunian with anger suppressed.
"This Gu is called 'Soul Haunting Dreams', if you fall in love with someone but can't ask for it, it will lead to a Gu poison attack. If a person who has fallen into this kind of Gu can stay with his beloved for a long time, then he will not pose any threat to the person who has fallen into the Gu. But if you don't get the love of your heart, you will be like those who have committed unrequited love, and finally die of exhaustion. Ji Wuxin explained leisurely.
"Haunting dreams, if it's really like you said, sooner or later she will meet someone who can raise eyebrows with her, what's the point of this Gu?" asked Cang Wunian suspiciously.
"Hahaha......" Ji Wuxin seemed to have heard some funny joke, and actually laughed out loud for a while.
It took a while for Ji Wuxin to regain his strength: "I think I need to tell you what this Gu is for in the Wu Clan." ”
Cang Wunian's face was solemn: "Listen to me." ”
"In the witch clan, each generation of chosen witches must be beheaded to keep their virginity alive. They have been practicing all kinds of forbidden techniques in the forbidden land since they were children, and if they don't cut off their feelings, they will fall short. And this haunting dream is actually used to test whether the previous witches are pure in love. Ji Wuxin explained.
"So what? Allure is not a witch of your witch clan. Cang Wunian sneered.
"I'm not done yet. The refining of this haunting dream is not complicated, but the Gu attraction in it is the blood of a man. In other words, if a witch in the witch clan is suspected of having an emotional entanglement with a man, she only needs to use that man's blood as a guide to plant her soul in the witch's body. If the witch is really interested in the man, as long as the man does not appear in front of the witch for three days, the poison will attack. Ji Wuxin said slowly.
