Chapter 56: Surfacing
It was none other than Senior Brother Zhang Yi, who had not been seen for many days.
"Senior brother, how do you know I'm here? Still looking for it? Did Master ask you to come? Ruyi happily served tea to Senior Brother Zhang.
"Master has gone to Yunyou, and before leaving, let me look for you in Wei two months later. After I came, I found out that something had happened to you. Zhang Yi said solemnly.
"Don't worry, what's wrong with me? It's not good. Before he finished speaking, his voice lowered, "But Senior Brother Sun has an accident, Ruiqing is still in prison, and there is that child." ”
"You've fallen for it. Senior Brother Sun said that Su Ruiqing should still be able to save it, and now I am afraid that the most critical person is you. ”
"What's me, I'm fine now?" Ruyi asked in disbelief.
"In the early years, before worshipping Mr. Guigu as a teacher, I worshipped the great witch sage of Shu for a period of time, and my senior brother at that time was later expelled from the division and set up his own door, and now my former senior brother has also come to Weidu. The purpose is to kill you. My senior brother's methods are not ordinary ruthless. Zhang Yi said slowly. His expression was more serious than ever.
"The Great Witch of Shu? Is it the Wicans? Ruyi asked.
Because Xia He is from Shu, he once talked to her about the Wu clan of Shu. The ancients were in awe of the gods, reverence for heaven and earth, and all things that could not be understood would be rendered with a layer of mystery.
Just like the existence of the Wu tribe, this is an ancient tribe that has existed since ancient times, but it is also a very small number of existences, most of them live in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness, but there are also a very few who serve in the imperial court, or treat the people in the folk and save people. Those who served in the imperial court were awarded an official position by the Yellow Emperor. Among the people, they are called witch doctors by the people.
"Exactly." Zhang Yi said with awe,
"Then what is the gateway for your former senior brother to stand on his own?"
"Gu Zhenren. Specializes in the use of Gu techniques. Gu art is just one branch of witchcraft. Zhang Yi explained.
Ruyi immediately thought of the modern Yunnan Gu art, it seems that it should be created by this former senior brother, no wonder later generations are used to saying witchcraft together, but the places where they are popular are different.
"Why did your former senior brother kill me?"
"I don't know yet, only the senior brother who has seen me can know. I have some friendship with the elder brother, and I will try my best to convince him. ”
"How can I save myself?"
"I'll find a way to save you, don't go out just now. The use of Gu requires real contact with the person who has been tricked. He can't find you, so naturally he can't put Gu on you. ”
"Okay, senior brother, I'll listen to you about this. So is Nie Zheng also because he was caught in the Gu so he went to assassinate Wei Poppy? ”
"I haven't met Nie Zheng, but eight or nine are not far from ten. Gu insects can kill people and control people's hearts, even in the Wu Clan, this is a forbidden art, only a very few people can learn this technique after layers of tests, and my senior brother was expelled from the sect because he secretly learned this forbidden technique without permission. ”
The two chatted for a long time before parting. Shopkeeper Liu arranged another room for Zhang Yi. The three of them temporarily stayed in the brocade cloth village.
And Sun Bin also regarded Pang Juan as a life-saving benefactor, thinking that things were really as Pang Juan said, and it was Pang Juan's sentence that Pang Juan tried to change the sentence of Sun Bin who was saved by the king.
And Pang Juan has also been attentive and attentive to Sun Bin in the past few days, taking good care of him, and inviting the best doctor to treat his leg injury.
Sun Bin has always been grateful to Senior Brother Pang in his heart, but he can't repay him.
On this day, Pang Juan came to visit Sun Bin again.
"Senior brother, you can still get used to living there, tell your senior brother if there is any shortage of products, and my senior brother will send someone to buy it." Pang Juan said very affectionately, and then took out a few military books and handed them to Sun Bin, "Senior brother knows that you are good at the art of war, this is what senior brother collected for you, let's talk to pass the time." ”
Sun Bin was very moved when he heard this, "Senior brother's great kindness, junior brother can't repay it, but if senior brother is useful to me, just say it." ”
"Senior brother, where is it, senior brother, I just ask you not to be bored by yourself like before, our senior brother can often discuss the art of war, arrange troops in formation, and also help senior brother."
"Senior brother will never give up on himself again, it will all be arranged by senior brother in the future, but my wife Su Ruiqing has any news?"
Pang Juan secretly liked that what he was waiting for was Sun Bin's words, but he didn't like the second half of the sentence very much, obviously Su Ruiqing almost became his wife.
"I know your thoughts, I'll try to help you with it. There is no news yet. Let's not think about those bad things first, you can talk to your senior brother about the content of Sun Tzu's Art of War. ”
Sun Bin thought that his senior brother was kind enough to distract him, and he didn't want him to think of Su Ruiqing's sadness, so he talked about Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Pang Juan heard that this art of war was broad and profound, and hearing it was not enough to penetrate the mystery in depth. Then he said, "Senior brother is stupid, I can't remember the meaning of it once I say it, I don't know if my brother can still remember the original text, can I write it to my senior brother silently?" ”
Sun Bin didn't think much about it, and thought that the senior brother was trying to find something to do for himself, so that he wouldn't be bored all the time. So I happily agreed.
And Nie Zheng in prison lost the control of Gu Technique, and without the support of Gu worms, he suddenly became stupid, silent, his eyes were dull, and he just sat quietly. Ren Wei Poppy tried his best and couldn't get him to speak again.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this assassin is already stupid and can't ask." The prison chief said in fright.
Wei Poppy didn't pay attention to the prison head, but thought to himself abruptly, if he remembered correctly, Nie Zheng had this expression when he assassinated him, and he felt very weird at the time. He had seen a similar account in an ancient book, which seemed to be a form of witchcraft that could control people's hearts.
"Kang Ming, Kang Shou, come with me." Wei Poppy suddenly shouted, and as he stood up, he strode out. The prison head hurriedly moved, looking at Wei Pop's back and wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
Wei Poppy explained to Kang Ming in a low voice as he walked, "You quickly go and check if there are any new faces in the palace recently." It must be strictly investigated. ”
"What happened to the king?" Cumming asked.
"Don't ask yet, go and find out."
"Whoa." Kang Ming answered, and quickly disappeared into the long dungeon alley.
After Kang Ming left, Wei Poppy slowed down and walked out of the dungeon step by step. When I saw the sunlight again, I felt a little dazzling.
If this child is really controlled, who is behind it? Why did they just bite out of Ruyi, Sun Bin and Su Ruiqing. The whole thing is like a well-laid out game, waiting for them to step into the game.
No, he also ignored one person, that is, the old housekeeper of the Sun Mansion, the so-called witness.
"Kang Shou, go and bring the old housekeeper of the Sun Mansion to see me." Wei Poppy said hurriedly.
