CHAPTER XX

Hearing the name Shen Yan, Gu Xiangcheng was silent for a while. In the end, he pursed his lips and shook his head, "Forget it, it's not a big deal anyway, so you don't need to trouble Pavilion Master Shen." ”

Wasn't that the person who was curious just now you? Ye Fangping glanced at him a little speechlessly, and finally didn't say anything to refute it. Of course, just like Gu Xiangcheng said, what happened to Ruan Yu back then didn't matter at all. He killed innocent people and committed heinous crimes, for whatever reason, for no matter what the reason, his sins are unforgivable.

Ye Fangping twisted her fingers and said casually: "Since that's the case, let's kill it." He looked at Gu Xiangcheng, "What I said before, he will hand it over to you." ”

Gu Xiangcheng smiled: "Thank you." ”

Ruan Yu had been locked up in the meditation hall for more than three days, and no one had come for the other two days, except for the first day, when someone came to interrogate him. They seemed to be reassured of him, and decided that he would not run away.

In fact, it is true that Ruan Yu does not want to escape, but he can't. The entire meditation hall is clean and spacious, as solid as a copper wall, and not even a mouse or fly can be seen. Even if Ruan Yu had a heart, he couldn't find a way in this situation. He seemed to be the only prisoner in the Meditation Hall, and he couldn't hear anything other than the footsteps of the guards walking back and forth.

Just when Ruan Yu thought that he would be locked up for the rest of his life, someone finally came to the meditation hall. He was full of joy, as long as he killed that person, he would be able to take his body and swagger out of the meditation hall! He held his breath and pretended to be sleeping, and the ice crystals in his hand gradually condensed into a pair of ice blades.

"I knew you weren't going to die." Gu Xiangcheng hung his head with a smile, looking at the person lying on the ground and wailing, "I wanted to ask you something, maybe I could take you lightly as appropriate, but since you don't want to, then forget it." Anyway, you're already a dead man. ”

"I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you! Ruan Yu's two arms were broken, and the shape was strangely dangling at his sides.

Gu Xiangcheng sneered, slowly squatted down, the black knife in his hand gently patted Ruan Yu's side face, and said with a smile: "You killed me?" Hey, now that you're in my hands, you don't beg me for mercy, but you still want to threaten me? It seems that you are really not afraid of death? ”

"If you know each other, hurry up and let go of your grandfather and me! Otherwise, there is your good fruitβ€”ah! Before he finished speaking, Ruan Yu felt a sharp pain in his mouth, and then, he couldn't speak anymore.

Gu Xiangcheng withdrew his hand expressionlessly, and wiped the blood on the knife with some disgust: "Okay, since you are bent on death, then I can't refuse." But......" he didn't know what he thought, and his face suddenly became very ugly, "in view of your disrespectful words, I cut off your tongue first as a punishment." ”

He still remembered how this man had stuck a knife into Shen Yan's back, laughing maniacally and slashing that spine inch by inch.

Gu Xiangcheng stared indifferently at Ruan Yu, who was constantly rolling around because of the severe pain, and finally lost his patience completely. He picked up the ice blade that Ruan Yu was going to use for a sneak attack and stabbed him in the back of the heart with all his might!

"Solved?" Ye Fangping was waiting outside the meditation hall, and when she heard footsteps, she turned around to look.

Gu Xiangcheng's face was still not good-looking, and his eyebrows were full of anger. Hearing the question, he didn't answer, just glanced at the other party coyly, and cheered up to leave.

Ye Fangping frowned and disagreed: "You look like this ghost, and you are not afraid of scaring others when you go out?" ”

Gu Xiangcheng smiled bitterly and touched his face, speechless. There is no way, Shen Yan's death has hit him too hard, even if he knows that others are still fine now, and there is no danger, he will still be affected. He wanted to take a look, otherwise he really wouldn't be at ease.

Thinking about it, he rejected Ye Fangping's kindness.

Young Master Ye of Grace Xiaozhu frowned and stared at him for a while, but he didn't continue to say anything to dissuade him. He sighed, returned the pile of paper that Gu Xiangcheng had brought before, and said, "Okay, since you are leaving, I won't stop you." I've already figured out the whereabouts of those people, and I'll give it to you. ”

Gu Xiangcheng took it with a smile: "Thank you." ”

"Ruan Yu is dead?" Behind the light veil, a slender figure was faintly revealed. The voice of the figure was sharp and unpleasant, like a knife scraping on a stone.

The black-clothed dark guard knelt on the ground, and his voice was flat: "The subordinates are not doing well, please punish the sect master." ”

"Hey......" The man behind the curtain sighed softly, and a black mist gradually rose from the ground, enveloping the black-clothed dark guard, and in a short time, there was a pool of blood on the ground.

At that moment, someone pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing the blood stains on the ground, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "You killed people again?" ”

"He was originally there to protect Ruan Yu, but now that Ruan Yu is dead, how can he live?" The man behind the curtain said confidently, "What's more, you know, there is no shortage of loyal dogs around me." He did something wrong, and asked me to punish him in fear, how could I, the master, be embarrassed to refuse his request? ”

The man took a deep breath and waved his sleeves, and a golden light flashed, and the ground was as clean as ever. He was slightly dissatisfied: "I suspect that every time you come to me, it is to let me clean the floor." ”

"Wish! How dare I bother you to sweep the floor for me? The man behind the curtain chuckled, "I don't want to kill anyone, but every time I make the floor dirty, the smell of the house becomes unpleasant." ”

"Then next time, please exercise some restraint, otherwise not only will your floor and nose suffer, but I will also be unhappy." The visitor sighed again, and said this sentence for the first time.

As he spoke, he walked to the curtain, raised his hand and lifted the thin layer of white veil, revealing the figure insideβ€”it was a very beautifully made doll, wearing a skirt with red peony on a white background, with a face like white jade, lips like Zhu Dan, hair like black sandalwood, and a white camellia hairpin on the sideburns. It closed its eyes and smiled quietly.

The doll is lifelike, with soft skin and a warm touch even to the touch. But it has a neat cut in its neck, splitting its head and body in half.

Not at all, he stretched out his finger and made a small incision, and lightly wiped it on the incision, and the red blood beads were smeared on it, and after a moment it was as smooth as new.

The puppet finally opened its eyes. Its eyes were bright red as blood, and they were made of the finest rubies. The sunlight shines through the light veil, and one can almost mistake the puppet for being gentle.

The blood of the person who came seemed to make the puppet come alive, it moved its neck, and raised its hand to touch it, looking very happy: "I can finally move, I am about to suffocate." ”

The visitor sneered softly, "You haven't been in this room for half a month, haven't you?" Why did you suffocate? ”

"You don't understand, I won't tell you." The puppet retorted seriously, "By the way, do you know who the person who killed Ruan Yu is?" ”

"Knowing is knowing, but I don't want to tell you."

The puppet was surprised: "Why? ”

"Because I'm afraid you're going to get in trouble with him." Someone patted the doll's head and said.

The puppet was even more surprised when he heard this: "But he killed Ruan Yu, shouldn't I go to him for trouble?" ”

"No, I was wrong." The person who came changed his words, "I'm not afraid of you going to find him, I'm afraid that if you go to him, I will have to get in myself." ”

"You don't believe in my strength?" The puppet was a little angry. Although he needs this man's blood to maintain "life", it does not mean that he is weak. On the contrary, it is precisely because it is too strong that it will be a puppet that needs other people's blood to move, otherwise it will kill whoever it wants, and within a few days, there will be no living people in the world.

The man plucked the camellia from its sideburns, replaced it with a new one, and replied gently, "No, I know your strength very well. That person won't be your opponent at all. ”

"Then why didn't you let me go to him?" The puppet asked unrelentingly.

The man said, "Because if he dies, no one will live." Including me. He looked at the puppet with a nervous expression for a moment, smiled, and said softly, "Including you." ”

"So, if he dies, you and I will be martyred?" The doll wrinkled its nose - its movements were very nimble, like a spoiled little princess.

The man smiled helplessly: "Yes." If you want to be martyred with me, you can go to him. ”

The puppet lowered his head, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can die by yourself, don't pull me." ”

The man laughed, not at all dissatisfied: "Okay, good, if I want to die, I will definitely not pull you!" ”

The doll nodded happily and gave a vigorous "um". After a while, it said, "But I still want to meet that person." ”

"Why?"

"Because I want to know who the hell is who can actually kill Ruan Yu." The doll blinked and looked curious, "I'm very interested." ”

The man thought about it and felt that he had made the stakes clear, and the puppet should not knowingly find fault, so he said with confidence: "That person's name is Gu Xiangcheng, he is the owner of the Jiuyan Building in Pingliu Mansion, and he is now participating in the Heavenly Rank Election." ”

"It turned out to be just a cultivator." The puppet was surprised, "I didn't expect that a cultivator could actually have such a strong strength. ”

"Ruan Yu is also just a cultivator." The man reminded.

The puppet said: "But Ruan Yu has been a cultivator for a long time, he didn't succeed in the last Heavenly Rank election, and he doesn't know what he is used for." ”

The man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows?" Perhaps, he has been lost in the thrill of killing people, and has long forgotten about the Heavenly Rank General Election, right? ”

The puppet nodded in agreement: "So, I'm interested in this Gu ...... What's the matter? Very interested! I want to meet him. ”

The man didn't stop him this time, and said he could, butβ€”

"You can't reveal your identity, every two months, you have to come back to replenish your spiritual power, so as not to die outside."

The puppet's eyes lit up, and it nodded repeatedly, and it jumped up happily and disappeared into a beam.
