Chapter 15: The Tragedy
Bu Zheng was poured on his head by a bucket of cold water, and he woke up suddenly, but he felt a splitting headache, and his head seemed to be swollen with two big.
His eyes blurred and he saw several people standing in front of him, and the woman who had planned to kill him was in the middle of them. And he was tied with ropes, and his feet were hanging from the thick trunk of a large tree.
He struggled twice, his body was weak, and the true qi in the qi mansion did not react at all, and he couldn't exert his strength at all.
"Don't bother, you have been poisoned by our clan's unique poison, and the air cavity meridians in your body have also been sealed by us with secret methods, and you are no different from a waste now. ”
In the hazy vision, it was faintly visible that the man standing in the middle of the group was talking, he was tall and his eyes were very unkind.
"Liu Du sent you here, right? I didn't expect him to even have the courage to fight me head-on, and he actually resorted to this kind of ghost domain trick, which is really a treacherous villain, which is despicable. When Bu Zheng spoke, even the roots of his tongue and teeth were weak, and he dangled in the air, angry.
"Liu Du?" the tone of the previous speaker seemed to be extremely disdainful of this name, "It's just a waste, and he deserves to order me?" among the children of the family, he is the most unproductive, so let him go to Jinyang City as a catcher and provide some information to the family, which can be regarded as his contribution to this family." ”
Bu Zheng was very surprised when he heard this, it seems that these people are the forces behind Liu Du, and with Liu Du's strength, they are not ranked in the family, which shows that their strength is strong.
"And who are you, and what is the purpose of the design to harm me?"
The person from Liu Du's family laughed and replied: "Remember clearly, I am Liu Chuan of the Liu family in Xiqiuling." Without further ado, handing over the method of opening the Forbidden Land of Lieyang will spare you from dying. ”
Gradually, his clear gaze swept over Liu Chuan, and Bu Zheng firmly remembered this person who was three points similar to Liu Duchang, and then closed his eyes and said nothing. The Liu family in Xiqiuling has the intention of killing me, and I Bu Zheng will not let you be satisfied.
Liu Chuan saw that this hard bone made up his mind not to speak, and the purpose of this trip was not answered, so he couldn't help but say angrily: "Toast and don't eat and drink, give me a good greeting to him, and beat him until he is soft." ”
A few people standing on the side seemed to have been waiting for this sentence, and as soon as Liu Chuan's words fell, several people rushed forward like vicious dogs pounced on food, and added fists and kicks to Bu Zheng.
Losing his True Qi Protector, the man hanging from the trunk of the tree was powerless to fight back. can only let them beat themselves like punching bags, Bu Zheng gritted his teeth and suffered silently.
"Stop!" A sudden exclamation made Liu Chuan and the others stop their movements. Bu Zheng opened his eyes and saw a middle-aged scribe-looking person, walking towards him step by step.
He looked like a teaching gentleman in a literary shirt, and his three long beards fluttered in the wind. His face was pale, and there was a hint of majesty in his voice, and he pointed at Liu Chuan and said, "Bastard, when will the realm of Jinyang City allow you to be powerful in Xiqiuling, believe it or not, if I break your legs now, your Liu family ancestor will not say anything." ”
Liu Chuan seemed to be very jealous of this middle-aged man, and after being reprimanded by him, he left in disgrace.
The middle-aged man untied Bu Zheng's rope and led him to a grass hut next to a small lake. gave medicine to Bu Zheng's wound, suppressed the toxins in his body with true qi, and put his palms against Bu Zheng's back to help him breathe his qi pulses.
After a long time, the middle-aged scribe withdrew his hands and said with a sigh: "You are the unique poison of the Liu family, once this poison enters the body, it instantly paralyzes all people's perceptions, and when the true qi is stagnant, it penetrates deep into the various air pockets and meridians of the body, like maggots attached to the bones that are difficult to pull out." In the long run, the toxin will erode the flesh and dissipate the true qi, and the person who suffers from this poison often decays and dies of decay all over the body, which is the most vicious. ”
Bu Zheng was in a cold sweat when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Does that gentleman know the solution?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh and shake his head when he saw Bu Zheng's face full of hope. "Fortunately, this poison is slow to poison and will not be fatal quickly. I have only helped you unblock the breath in your body and suppressed the poisonous gas, and you still have time to find a way to detoxify. ”
Bu Zheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he walked out of the grass house in a depressed mood, looking at a pool of blue water, full of sorrow.
"You have to be careful lately, the major forces are staring at you, and they may attack you at any time, after all, the relics of the Lieyang clan are too tempting for them. ”
The middle-aged man also walked out of the grass hut and stood side by side with Bu Zheng.
"I don't know what kind of force Mr. is?Is it also here for me to hand over the method of opening the seal?" Although the people around him just saved themselves, Bu Zheng's heart was still full of vigilance, the time when this person appeared was too coincidental, if it was a chance encounter, Bu Zheng would not believe it.
During this period of time, he fell for too many conspiracies and tricks, and sometimes he was obviously advocating justice, but the result made him unexpected and chilled. He couldn't help but be vigilant. Maybe the young man in white didn't feel it himself, and before he knew it, his mentality had changed. A water comes out, and the dusty lotus flower is no longer as white and flawless as it was at the beginning after experiencing the turbidity of the world.
"My name is Xu Wuming, as for who I am loyal to, you will know after you and Liu Du compete. You just need to understand that I have no ill will towards you, since the news spread that you were able to open the Lieyang Forbidden Land, I have been keeping an eye on your whereabouts every day, and today I am fortunate that I came in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
Bu Zheng nodded, such an answer was in line with the speculation in his heart. The breeze blew across the lake, blowing a puddle of clear water, with a hint of coolness, invading Bu Zheng's body. The boy with the flame sigil on his eyebrows asked, "Is this grass house the place where Mr. Xu lives?" In my opinion, this lake is not suitable for human habitation. ”
Xu Wuming's expression showed surprise, he didn't expect the person in front of him to have such a keen perception. Unaware of the scorching flame in Bu Zheng's body, when he stood by the lake, he knew at a glance the huge cold resentment at the bottom of the lake.
"Let me tell you a story. Bu Zheng didn't know why the middle-aged scribe was so interested, he didn't interject, and listened to Xu Wuming say slowly: "Twenty years ago, there used to be a prosperous ethnic group living here, and they were attached to a very powerful local sect. One day, someone discovered a precious ore from the ground, which contains an extremely strong aura of heaven and earth, and using it to cultivate can greatly increase people's cultivation speed.
That group used this ore to make the entire family stronger. They thought they had been blessed by the gods, but they didn't expect to provoke the devil to watch.
The secret of the ore was leaked, and one day the major sect of that tribe sent people to congratulate them on the grounds that they could go out on their own, recognizing their family's strength. ”
said that the middle-aged man had a painful look on his face here, "The family can no longer be a vassal, and be oppressed by others, which makes everyone very excited." That night, they feasted for a long time, and the poison in the food and wine paralyzed everyone. They were still smiling until they fainted and their heads were cut off.
That night, hundreds of people from top to bottom of that group were slaughtered, and the ground was soaked in blood in the three-inch thick soil. In order to cover up the evil deeds they had created, the Great Sect dug up the river embankment and diverted the river water to pour it back, forming a lake here.
Externally, they said that this group died in a natural disaster, and the great sect that obtained the spirit stone mine became the strongest sect in the local area in just twenty years, and they called it the Imperial Martial Sect. ”
After listening to the story, a burst of evil fire surged in Bu Zheng's chest, if there were people from the Imperial Martial Sect standing in front of him now, he would definitely rush up and beat people to death, so as not to cause disaster to the world.
"If such a tragedy happens in the jurisdiction, can the City Lord's Mansion just sit idly by?" The straight-waisted young man was very angry, he was angry at the lawlessness of the Imperial Martial Arts Sect, and even more angry at the inaction of the rulers, and connived at them to cause trouble.
Xu Wuming turned his head sideways, inadvertently wiped away a tear that was about to fall from the corner of his eye, and lamented: "These sect families are getting stronger and stronger, and the City Lord's Mansion has long been unable to control their strength. What's more, they often act together, so that the City Lord's Mansion has no way to start, and the City Lord is worried about it every day!"
Bu Zheng let out a long sigh, he talked to Xu Wuming about the current situation in the Jinyang realm, the arrogant and the people were miserable. Similar to the villagers of the descendants of the Jinyang tribe and Xu Wuming, the tragedy that the ethnic group suffered is not one or two, the world is chaotic, the order is broken, the weak eat the strong, and it is miserable.
When it was getting wester, the two returned to Jinyang City together, and Bu Zheng returned to Chunlu Pavilion. That night, on the branches of the moon, when the dew was thick. The young man with the strange poison in his body suddenly itched, and every point and meridian were like crawling with ants biting, and he wanted to scratch but couldn't.
Everyone was awakened by Bu Zheng's uncomfortable cry and hurried over. Nanfeng was the first to rush into Zheng's room, and when he saw his enemy, the other party had scratched all the red marks on his nails, and more serious places had been scratched by him, leaving blood marks.
"What's wrong with you? Don't scratch it, you've scratched your body. Nanfeng threw him down on the bed, grabbed him by the two hands, and his nails were bloody.
Mu Lao finally arrived, saw Bu Zheng's situation, and hurriedly grabbed his wrist to call for him.
"Mu Lao, how is it?" asked the Oiran Chu Tianyao with concern:
While probing his pulse, the old man listened to Bu Zheng tell about being poisoned today. Leaning less, the old man let go of his hand and said in a low tone: "The poison has penetrated deeply into the body, and it is scattered all over the body, and the situation is not optimistic? At present, in the Jinyang Realm, except for the Liu family himself, no one can detoxify this poison. ”
Chu Tianyao, who was dressed in pajamas, had cold eyes and a clenched lip. "It's too much, they even resorted to poisoning before the competition. ”
"If this poison is not solved, Bu Shaoxia will have to worry about his life in the future!" Mu Lao's face was full of worry, but he was helpless.
Tightly grasping Bu Zheng to prevent him from scratching his own Nanfeng, he said anxiously: "Hurry up and find a way! This kid is too strong now, I can't hold it anymore." If he doesn't solve it, he won't have to wait for the future, he can scratch himself to death now. ”
Mu Lao, who had long eyebrows fluttering, frowned and thought, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have deepened because of worry.
Suddenly, a flash of spiritual light flashed, and Mu Lao's frowning brows suddenly relaxed, and he seemed to have a solution and said: "The old man has a way, or he can solve the problem of the young man, but he doesn't know whether it can be done." ”
The south wind was about to go crazy, and his hands and feet were restrained and he couldn't scratch the itchy places, so he lost his mind in pain. He bit Nanfang's hand with red eyes and grabbed him, and Nanfeng screamed in pain like a pig. "It doesn't matter if he can do it or not, if there is a way, try it quickly, and wait a while, not only will he not work, but I will also die. Oh, my hands!"
"Mu Lao, do you mean that place?" Chu Tianyao's expression was a little incredulous, but the old man nodded seriously and said, "Tianyao, haven't you found out yet? Bu Shaoxia is really related to the god of the underworld! Everything is divine will! Nanfeng, you grab him, come with me." ”
Bu Zheng was controlled by a few people, followed the old man's footsteps out of the Spring Dew Pavilion, left Jinyang City in a carriage, and headed towards a stronghold set up by their Hades Temple.
Bu Zheng couldn't remember how far he had walked, and the unbearable feeling of itching made him confused. Until I felt my body let go and thrown into a dark secret room.
The cold atmosphere in the secret room made Bu Zheng feel much better, and he couldn't bear to scratch with red eyes, looking at this strange environment.
A pillar of light suddenly appeared, as if someone was shining down from the sky with a lamp. In the light and shadow, a figure sat on a big stone, the green flute in his hand was slanted, the air flow in his mouth was slow, and a melody that cleansed people's hearts swayed leisurely.
The sound of the flute lingered and floated through Bu Zheng's body, and he suddenly felt comfortable all over his body, and the itchy feeling was swept away. He felt that the man was playing very well, and before he knew it, he was attracted to it, and sat cross-legged in front of him, listening to him play a melodious tune.
There seems to be a lot of content in that melody, including touching stories, heart-touching battles, and a prosperous world. Bu Zheng indulged in the sound of the flute, like wandering in a magnificent sea, like floating among the white clouds and flying over the mountains and rivers. He saw a man from birth to death, and saw a flower from budding to withering.
Everything was like a dream, reincarnation and catastrophe, and every scene finally turned into a complex rune and imprinted into his mind.
At the end of the song, Bu Zheng came back to his senses, but saw a young man in green clothes and linen in front of him, like a cow herding baby, inserting the jade flute into his waist, and turned around to leave.
"Who are you?" Bu Zheng hurriedly asked:
"My name is Qingdi, I hate immortality, and some people call me the god of the underworld. ”
The light and shadow dissipate, and everything returns to darkness. Bu Zheng's face was complicated, and something strange appeared in his mind. He seemed to understand what had just happened, but he was not sure that it was true.
The itching sensation on his body rose again, and Bu Zheng sat in place, performing a secret technique called Replica Return, which was one of the many chapters that the flute sounded in his mind.
A day later, Bu Zheng walked out of the secret room as usual, still the same as before, but it gave people a different change from before.
Mu Lao was ecstatic and drunk a lot. Chu Tianyao was puzzled, Mu Lao explained to her: "Bu Zheng has been recognized by the God of the Underworld, sent down by the gods, and has been inherited by the Lord of the Gods!" Chu Tianyao grew his mouth in surprise.
In the following time, Bu Zheng insisted on practicing boxing every day, but he changed to a place where Mu Lao's subordinates were taken care of.
The time of January passed quickly, the day of the decisive battle finally arrived, and the voices of people in Jinyang City were boiling today, all flocking to Longhutai, and the much-anticipated battle was about to start.
