Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Truth
"Hongling?"
When he heard these two words, Qiu Ze's eyes suddenly lit up: "The letter to me, why do you still have to give it to Liu Changshan? Also, why is the letter with you?"
A series of questions came out of Qiu Ze's mouth in one breath, without any pause, which shocked Jing Tang and Hu Mei.
"Well, you two are exactly the same. When I gave the letter to Liu Changshan, her expression and your words were exactly the same! It's a pity that ......" Shui Nian handed the letter to Qiu Ze's hand and shook his head full of regret.
Qiu Ze took the letter, quickly opened it, and found that the letter paper had already withered and yellowed. Even the handwriting was a little blurry. But when Qiu Ze read the letter, two lines of tears couldn't help but flow.
"Two little ones, come out for a walk with me. Let your master himself scatter his mind here. Seeing Qiu Ze crying, Shui Nian immediately transmitted the message to Jing Tang and Hu Mei. Because he knew that what Qiu Ze needed most now was to stay alone for a while.
The two nodded, glanced at Elder Qiu Ze, who was silently weeping but silent, and followed Liu Nian into the distance. And when the three of them left far away, Qiu Ze cried loudly, as if what he said in the letter hit him in the sore spot.
Although it was far away, Qiu Ze's crying voice could be heard clearly.
"Alas, you masters, you must be really miserable. Listening to Qiu Ze's crying voice, Elder Shui Nian shook his head again and again, full of pity.
"Elder Shui, what is written in that letter, why is Master so sad?" Although Jing Tang has a maturity and stability that his peers do not have, even if he is no matter what, he is only eleven years old.
Although in the Martial God Continent, you can become a baby at the age of ten, such as Qin Hai and Luo Yue'er. But more people choose to get married at the age of eighteen, because at that time, their minds will be more mature. So the current Jingtang is a little adult at best.
Listening to Jing Tang's question, Shui Nian sighed and said, "Your master fell in love with a woman at the same time as Elder Liu when he was young, and the two brothers who married Jin Lan became more and more discordant for this woman. In order not to embarrass the two of them, the woman finally chose to marry far away. The relationship between the two also broke down because of this. The letter was written to both of them before the woman died. I was out training and happened to meet the woman. The woman was badly wounded, but I was powerless to save her. Thinking about it now, I'm still quite ashamed. ”
"Since you are ashamed, then tell me who killed Hongling! How did Hongling die!" At this moment, Elder Qiu Ze, who was still crying before, suddenly appeared in front of the three of them and asked angrily.
"After many years, Elder Qiu, forget it. Shui Nian waved his hand at Qiu Ze, as if he didn't want to recall.
"No, say it!Who killed Hongling!" Before Qiu Ze could speak, a familiar voice suddenly came in from outside.
"Liu Changshan?"
Hearing this, Shui Nian hurriedly turned around and looked, and found that Liu Changshan had now arrived beside him.
"Master!"
Seeing Elder Liu's arrival, Jing Tang hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Liu Changshan just nodded lightly at Jing Tang, and then turned his gaze to Shui Nian: "Elder Shui, I advise you to say it." Since I know that Hongling is dead, then I will also die. But Hongling can't die in vain, if he is killed, I must avenge him!"
"Tell me, who killed Hongling! I must avenge her!" Qiu Ze stepped forward and said with a vengeful heart.
"Two elders, even if I say it, what's the use? Which of you has the ability to bring Miss Hongling back to life?" Elder Shui Nian spread his hands and looked at the two of them, but saw that the two of them were also helpless.
However, there is no choice but to be helpless, the living cannot be resurrected, and the cause of death should always be clear, so the two of them grabbed the cause of death and insisted on saying the cause of Hongling's death in the year of the water, otherwise today, they would not be able to leave.
"I said yes, but you can't take revenge. For if you go you will be sent to death, and there is no hope of living at all. Shui Nian suddenly became serious, and his voice became much louder.
When the two of them heard this, they hesitated at the same time, but when they thought of the death of the woman they loved so much, they couldn't care anymore.
Seeing the expressions of the two, Elder Shui Nian had no choice but to say, "Since you want to know, then I'll tell you." But you have to keep everything I say secret!"
Qiu Ze and Liu Changshan nodded: "We keep it secret!"
Seeing that the two of them agreed to keep it secret, Shui Nian said: "Our Martial God Continent is divided into four parts, and the continent we are on now is the Northwest Continent. But Hongling was married to the southwest continent. When I was traveling in the southwest continent, I participated in an alchemy competition. found that the winner was this Hongling girl. ”
Hearing the news, Qiu Ze and Liu Changshan glanced at each other, and said with shocked faces: "Isn't Hongling's spiritual power naturally weak......?
"Miss Hongling's mental strength is indeed inherently weak, but it is also true that she won the championship. Because of the family she married into the past, there is an elixir that can temporarily improve mental strength. In addition, the Hongling girl is already familiar with medicinal properties, so it is natural to win the championship. ”
Hearing this, Liu Changshan suddenly asked, "Which family in the Southwest Continent did she marry?"
"The Southwest Continent is the most chaotic region in the Martial God Continent. There are many sects there, and there are many families and sects that are good at refining poisons, but there are not many families that are good at alchemy. Do you remember that twenty years ago, there was a slightly obscure sect that was constantly arresting people to test medicines?" Speaking of this, Shui Nian's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of essence.
When Qiu Ze heard this, something instantly appeared in his mind, and he immediately said: "I know, it is said that the sect is an extremely ancient and mysterious sect, and they arrest people to test medicines, it seems that they are trying to refine some kind of antidote. I remember the name of that sect, it seems to be called the Seven Killing Palace or the Seven Killing Palace......"
Bite!
When the three words "Seven Killing Palace" came out of Elder Qiu Ze's mouth, Jing Tang's expression immediately changed, but this change only lasted for a moment before it disappeared. However, the careful Hu Mei still found something.
Although Jing Tang's expression quickly retracted, the three words "Seven Killing Palace" exploded like the sky and the earth shattered in his mind. You must know that in his previous life, he was Yan Jiutian, the hall master of the Seven Killing Palace. If you let others know your identity, you don't dare to say anything else, just rely on the feelings of your two masters for the woman named Hongling, you don't know what you will do to yourself.
"That's right, that sect is the Seven Killing Palace!"
Elder Shui Nian paused and continued, "Legend has it that their deputy hall master successfully usurped the throne, and in order to control his subordinates, he developed a poison and forced all of their subordinates to take it. Give an antidote every few decades, and if you have two hearts, you will directly cut off the antidote, and life is better than death. In the Seven Killings Palace, someone once wanted to crack this poison, but after preparing the medicine, they didn't know the effect, so they began to find someone to test the medicine. Hongling was not married at the beginning, but was arrested. As for why he was able to have such strong mental power, it was also because he had taken the medicine of the Seven Killing Palace. ”
"How did you know all this? Also, why did they arrest Hongling to test the medicine?" Liu Changshan was also angry when he heard this, but he was obviously very puzzled as to why Shui Nian knew all this.
Asked by Liu Changshan, Elder Shui Nian immediately clenched his fists, as if he had made some important decision: "Because Hongling's family is the person in the Seven Killings Palace." It's just that Hongling's family belongs to the betrayers and is hunted down by the Seven Killing Palace. Therefore, the people of the Hongling family are naturally the best drug testers. As for how I know all this, it's because...... I am also a member of the Hongling family. To be exact, I am a descendant of the servants of the Hongling family. And now, the only one who knows the truth of the whole affair. ”
Hearing this, Qiu Ze and Liu Changshan were silent at the same time. They were saddened by Hongling, but at the same time angry at the methods of the Seven Killing Palace. It was they who killed the woman they loved the most. Although this was all a battle within the sect, they also knew that their own strength was too small compared to the Seven Killing Palace. If you want revenge, it's almost impossible.
Qiu Ze and Liu Changshan were silent, but no one knew how shocked Jing Tang was at this moment.
"It turns out that the Seven Killing Hall has become like this after Yan Jiutian's death. That deputy hall master should be the one who killed Yan Jiutian, right?" At this moment, Jing Tang's mind was full of the original dream. The identity of being the reincarnation of Yan Jiutian seems to be a little too terrifying.
Looking at Qiu Ze and Liu Changshan's silence, Elder Shui Nian continued, "I remember that when Miss Hongling was dying, she was imprisoned in a valley. I wanted to save her, but she was covered in chains, and I couldn't hurt them at all. Miss Hongling knew my identity and knew that I was from the Martial Arts Academy, and she asked me to write a letter to you, saying that I was sorry for the two of you, but I died and didn't want you to take revenge. ”
As the words fell, Elder Shui began to choke up. And Qiu Ze and Liu Changshan on the side cried directly.
Seeing the three elders crying at the same time, Jing Tang and Hu Mei's hearts were also very uncomfortable. However, compared to the three elders, Jing Tang's heart was also full of helplessness and uneasiness, and the reason was naturally his previous life identity.
I thought that the Seven Killings Hall would not be as strong as it was a thousand years ago, but as soon as he heard Shui Nian say that he was looking for someone to test the medicine, Jing Tang knew that this matter would not be so simple. My identity is like a bomb, once it is exposed, I am afraid that it will be a huge disaster for myself and my family.
