Chapter 123: Qinghe's Strange Heart
Under the cover of the thick night, a young man dressed as a scholar walked cautiously on the road, not looking back to see if anyone was following behind him.
Seeing that the alley was getting narrower and narrower, the young man swallowed his saliva a little uneasily, and a cat suddenly jumped out of the corner at this time.
The young man closed his mouth tightly and glared at the cat in horror.
"You're still a Gu master, why are you so timid, you're just a cat, and you can't eat you. ”
A lazy voice came from the high eaves, and the young man followed the voice, only to see a man in an ink-colored suit looking at him with squinted eyes, and the cold moonlight hit him, making it impossible to see his expression, but from the words, it could be judged that this person was not happy, and even a little impatient.
The pitch-black cat approached the young man slowly, as if to see his fear, and the cat leaned low and made a threatening sound, as if it was about to attack at any moment.
The scholar took a few steps back, looked at the cat in front of him and said coldly, "Our Gu Master is naturally afraid of cats, what do you mean by bringing such a beast here?"
The young man in ink-colored clothes turned over and jumped off the tall building, and landed silently without making a sound.
The scholar stared straight at him, his body tense and thinking about what to do next, who knew that as soon as the young man landed, he hugged the cat that was still threatening, and showed a bright smile to the scholar: "You think too much, I didn't bring this cat here, besides, we are all doing things for Master Qingzen, and I have no reason to embarrass you, Mr. Gu Master." ”
The Gu Master shook the small bell on his body and did not speak, and the sound of Qingyue's bell spread far away in the quiet night.
In the dark night, the sound of Xi Suo Suo began to be heard, and the young man in dark clothes took a step back with a solemn expression, hugging the cat in his hand tighter.
"What do you mean by that? I'm not here to fight you today. ”
The Gu Master still looked very scared, but the fear did not penetrate deep into his eyes, but was like an empty and inferior mask.
"I don't want to do anything, it's just that Master Qing Chan said that there will be action tonight, didn't I call all my friends out to listen to your orders, now you have something to say. ”
The black-robed young man gently put the cat down, pretending not to see the various insects gushing out, and said indifferently: "Master Qingzen said, the situation in the capital has been a little out of control recently, I hope you can bring in the plague and clean the people here." ”
When Gu Master came, he still thought that this so-called Qingzen Master was just asking himself to assassinate a few people at most, but he didn't expect that this opening would be a city, and he was stunned for a while before he shook his head helplessly.
"It's not that I don't want to promise you, it's just that the plague is a natural and man-made disaster, although I have Gu worms that can imitate the appearance of the plague, but in the end it is not a real plague, and too many people can't die. ”
The young man lowered his head and looked at the cat sitting there dumbfounded on the ground and being eaten by Gu worms, and snorted twice: "Mr. Gu Master doesn't need to be so polite, I don't think it's so difficult for you to kill more people, as for how many people die, it's not up to us to say, I heard that Miao Jiang has a Gu poison that can be transmitted from person to person like a plague, I think Mr. Lai should be able to do it." ”
The Gu Master is the successor of Miao Jiang's Gu Poison, this most vicious Gu Poison is not a last resort, he doesn't want to take it out, but when he heard the young man's words, he knew that this must be the meaning of Master Qingchan again, he thought about it and nodded.
"I can do this, and it won't be difficult to get poisoned, but you have to tell Master Qingzen that this is the last time I will help him, and if there is such a thing in the future, you don't have to come to me again. ”
The black-robed young man nodded happily, took two steps forward and stepped on the cat that had turned into a skeleton, looked at the dead Gu worm and said slowly: "There are still many people in the capital who have cats, you Gu worm will die if you eat cat meat, so be careful." ”
The Gu Master turned around and waved his hand indifferently, shook the bell and left with a group of Gu worms, and the faint voice reached the young man's ears lightly: "So we Gu masters hate cats the most, you are the first person to bring cats to me and still be alive, I hope you are also the last." ”
The black-robed young man shuddered, looking at the Gu Master's back and taking two steps forward, a handsome face was exposed to the air, if Han Houfei was here, he would definitely scream, because the person in front of him was his most trusted guard, and he was also He Sifeng's spy who left in the Han family, Qing He.
Qing He looked in the direction of the imperial city with a gloomy expression, and his white and tender fingers gently picked up the rotten cat corpse on the ground, and walked towards an inconspicuous small courtyard not far away.
The courtyard was gloomy and didn't look like it was inhabited, Qing He knocked lightly on the door with his free hand, and the door opened almost immediately, and Qing Chan's voice came from inside.
"Coming back so soon, it seems that he agreed. ”
Qing He flashed into the courtyard, closed the door carefully, then nodded, and threw the cat in his hand on the ground: "Gu Master agreed, but he will do it in the next two days, looking at the appearance of this cat, his skills have deepened, let's not provoke him casually in the future, if he is really provoked, then ......"
Qing Chan sat cross-legged under the old tree in the courtyard, closed his eyes and picked up the Buddha beads in his hand, Wen Yan opened his eyes and glanced at Qing He, smiled silently and interrupted him: "So what, he is just a mortal in the end, Gu worms are not without natural enemies, he is doing this today to scare you, but also to deter me, in fact, a Gu master who is poisoned in his body, where can he harm our ability." ”
Qing He's face was quite respectful, but there was still deep dissatisfaction in his eyes: "After all, he used to be your junior brother, and he has to be forgiving and forgiving, and you also said that he has Gu poison in his body, let's stop provoking him after this time." ”
Qing Chan took the hand of the Buddha bead and listened slowly, and looked at Qing He's anxious face with some meaning: "Are you soft-hearted and can't stand it, or are you worried that he will die and the net will be broken?" It's already come to this point, is it too late to be soft-hearted now." ”
Qing He closed his eyes, arched his hand and didn't answer, turned around and wanted to leave, Qing Chan's voice came unrelentingly: "You have no way out, your hatred, your betrayal, your hypocrisy, the people you killed, these are all sins, only by following me can you find a way out, do you want to be unable to take revenge for the rest of your life? Do you want your mother's family to die in vain like that?"
