Chapter Seventy-One: The Dust Has Settled
Although Ye Zhiqing didn't answer, looking at her expression, Du Jixin knew that she had guessed well, hesitated slightly, and said, "Uncle Shi, I can't hide anything from you, you kill me, I don't know." ”
Ye Zhiqing said: "Back then, Qixiu and Thirteen hairpins were headed by her and your master, and they were originally sisters, but your master's ambition was too great, and he eventually died with himself." After almost dying and resurrecting the second as a human being, he didn't know how to reflect, but he was angry with her. At this point, he sighed again: "I just want to know if she is still alive?" Du Jixin didn't answer, just stared at Qian Zonglong, who was already dead in the crook of his arm.
Ye Suiyun interjected: "Fang master, just listen to the words of this Mrs. Du, is the surname of the person you are looking for right?" Ye Zhiqing nodded, and Ye Suiyun continued: "Not long ago, I saw a woman surnamed Li in the prison in Zhaibei Mountain, it seems that she has been locked up for a long time, I don't know if it is the person you are looking for?" Ye Zhiqing's eyes lit up and asked, "Have you seen her?" Ye Suiyun thought for a moment and replied: "Actually, I haven't met, this person is trapped in the mountain wall." But her internal strength is not weak, and the voice comes through the stone wall, which is still clear. ”
Du Jixin suddenly sighed: "It's really providential, such a secret of Master Li Guan was finally found by you." This remark just confirmed Ye Suiyun's guess that it was indeed Li Xiangqiu who was locked up in the mountain prison. Before she could be happy, Du Jixin said again: "But you don't want to save her, the exit of the mountain prison is so complicated that even I have never entered it, and the person who built it said that according to my master's intentions, he didn't plan to let the people inside come out at all." ”
Xiao Ning'er on the side couldn't help but sneered and said, "What a big breath, you said you can't open it, you can't open it?" The tone is not good, she has a clear personality of love and hate, and she hates Du Jixin even more for defecting to the master, if it weren't for the master's side, I am afraid that this traitor would have been pierced through the heart with a sword.
Du Jixin glanced at it and replied coldly: "You are Ning'er?" Although he is famous, after all, he is just a child who has not seen enough. You have such an idea because you don't know who built this cell? ”
Xiao Ning'er was about to have a seizure, but Ye Zhiqing spoke first: "Could it be Situ Yiyi, who is known as 'Wonderful Hands'." ”
Du Ji's surprise flashed, and he replied: "No wonder Uncle Shi's name of wisdom is heard all over the world, and he can guess it." Ye Zhiqing smiled slightly, but Ye Suiyun said: "No matter how powerful the craftsman is, this door will definitely be opened by the friends below, and the owner can rest assured." Ye Zhiqing sighed and said: "This Situ Yiyi is a well-known skilled craftsman, since this prison is from his hands, it must be indeed difficult to open, I don't know why Gang Master Ye has such confidence, is your friend so good." ”
Ye Suiyun was about to answer, and suddenly thought that Qixiufang was a decent family, and it seemed inappropriate to reveal Dai Shi's identity, so he said: "This friend has opened the world's lock, but this person is a little weird, without consent, she is not allowed to reveal her identity, and I ask the owner to forgive me." I thought, "It's a good thing that Dai Shi is not here, otherwise it would have been a good meal to hear me say that she was weird." ”
Ye Zhiqing didn't ask much, and Du Jixin suddenly said coldly: "If this mountain prison is opened, no matter whether it is inside or outside, no one will survive." Everyone was shocked, Xiao Ning'er pointed at her sword and asked sharply, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Du Jixin didn't raise his eyelids, and said expressionlessly: "The mountain prison is covered with black powder all around, and the gate gate is controlled by a mechanism, as long as it is opened, the fire will be ignited, and the entire mountain prison will be razed to the ground without a single cup of tea." Everyone present was shocked, and Ye Suiyun hurriedly asked, "What is black powder?" Ye Zhiqing said: "It is the powder found by alchemists in the process of alchemy in the past, and after being ignited with fire, it produces a huge explosive force, and the power is amazing, and people must be unlucky in it." Before the words were finished, Ye Suiyun had already rushed away like an electric shot, rushing towards the mountain prison in the north of the island. Dai Shi, Shu Xiaoyu, Xi'er and Chun Mei were still there, and he could only beg God not to let Dai Shi open the stone door.
Ye Suiyun flew away for a while, and he had already seen the light in the distance, but fortunately, it was just a torch star, not a fire in the sky, and the outline of the four people on behalf of Shi gradually became clear. As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he listened to the footsteps behind him, and it turned out that Yan Wuwu and Xiao Ning'er also followed. Although Ye Suiyun ran with all his strength and set off in advance, after all, he was not good at light work, if he talked about speed, how could he be as good as Qixiufang's "Butterfly Foot" and Chunyang's "Tiyun Zong". At this time, only a click was heard in front of me, followed by a rumbling sound, and the stone door gradually opened. Shu Xiaoyu and Chun Mei cheered in unison, and Dai Shi proudly wiped the sweat on his face, but they didn't notice that a figure flashed out from above the gap that had just been opened, and disappeared into the night in an instant. Ye Suiyun saw it clearly, and a thought flashed in his heart: "This person must be Sister Li, there is no doubt that her body is so fast." After all, Shu Xiaoyu is a child's heart, and without waiting for Shimen to stop completely, he couldn't help but lean in to rescue the people inside, Ye Suiyunxin raised his throat and shouted, "Don't go in!" Helplessly, the sound of the stone door opening was so loud that it completely covered up his shouting, and the four of Dai Shi were unaware. Xiao Ning'er rushed to the front with a sigh of relief, and Yan Wuwu flew over Ye Suiyun's head, and pounced at the same time, trying to catch Shu Xiaoyu.
Ye Suiyun listened to the sound around him, obviously something was ignited, the electric light flashed in his mind, and he knew that Xiao and Yan were also in danger of their lives, and the true qi in the body of the earth was flowing rapidly, penetrating his legs, kicking the ground violently, rushing to the entrance of the cave first, turning around and waving his hands continuously, and a wave of palm power rushed out, forcing Yan Wuwu, Xiao Ning'er, Dai Shi, Xi'er and Chun Mei and others to suddenly force away from the entrance of the cave. Ye Suiyun turned around quickly, caught up in two steps, and just grabbed Shu Xiaoyu's shoulder, Shu Xiaoyu was startled, turned his head to see clearly, and turned his surprise into joy: "Two... He only said one word, but he felt that his body suddenly rose into the air, and his back was pushed by a huge force, and he was sent out of the stone prison, and fell far away, sitting on the ground with his buttocks, but he was unscathed.
Ye Suiyun didn't dare to stay, and he also snatched it out, and suddenly heard the sound of the clattering suddenly disappeared, and then there was a soft click, at this moment he was in the air, knowing that it was too late, his mind moved, and the whole body breathed slightly, and then rushed out in all directions, almost at the same time, an earth-shattering explosion, and in an instant, the flames inside and outside the stone prison soared into the sky, and the fierce tongue of fire shot out like a storm, and immediately submerged Ye Suiyun.
The six people outside the prison exclaimed in unison, who had ever seen such a power of breaking through the sky and cracking the ground, seeing Ye Suiyun's figure disappear into the flames, except for Chun Mei and Xi'er, who were not good at martial arts, the other four people were about to rush into the fire, and at this moment, several people had the same thought: "Give up your life to save Ye Suiyun." Although they had martial arts, the heat flow formed by the power of the explosion was too strong, and they forced the four people who approached a few feet away.
Shu Xiaoyu's cultivation was the weakest, and he was pushed the farthest by the air current, and when he turned around and saw the most blazing flame rising into the air, his heart was sour, and he shouted with a crying voice: "Two... He only shouted one word and stopped abruptly, the tongue of fire fluttered fiercely, and it went quickly, only to see a figure flying out of it, to be precise, it was thrown out by the heat wave of the flames, and fell next to Shu Xiaoyu with a bang, prostrate on the ground face down, humming endlessly, so not embarrassed, it was Ye Suiyun.
Several people were overjoyed and quickly gathered around, only to see that he was covered in black and gray, his clothes and pants were dotted with sparks, his hair was still smoking, I don't know if it was because of the pain, he couldn't stop moaning in his nose, Xiao Ning'er and Dai Shi were frightened and anxious, and when they saw him like this, they couldn't help but laugh out loud. Shu Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Why are you two still laughing, he is like this?" As he spoke, he helped Ye Suiyun to sit on the ground. Dai Shi pouted and smiled: "Don't worry, this cowherd baby has a big life, how can he die easily." ”
Ye Suiyun had a dark face, only two eyes flashed, grinned, showed two rows of white teeth and said: "Little whispering girl, can you call your name all next time, how awkward it will be." Several people burst into laughter again. Seeing Shu Xiaoyu's tears, Ye Suiyun couldn't help but be moved.
Yan Wuwu said: "Brother, we all said that you are fierce and lucky, and you escaped from such a terrible explosion." Everyone looked back, the stone prison behind them had become a sea of fire at the moment, and occasionally it was still bombarding and exploding, all thinking about this kind of power, if Dai Shi had opened the stone gate a moment earlier, or Ye Suiyun's reaction was a little slower, several people would have ended up in pieces, and they couldn't help but sweat.
After Ye Suiyun said it, everyone learned that at the moment of the explosion, Ye Suiyun urged the internal force out, just forming a protective layer, which minimized the damage of the explosion to his body, but this method could not last, it was only a momentary effect, and it happened to collide with the swooping flames, so he didn't die.
Ye Suiyun said with palpitations: "I don't know if this is useful or not, my mind was blank at that moment, but I did it subconsciously, it was no different from struggling to die, fortunately, God bless." It's just that the back hurts. When a few people looked at it, the clothes on his back had already been burned out, and the flesh on his back was dripping with blood, and a large area was scorched black, after all, he was still injured.
One person said loudly: "The Ye Gang Master is deeply blessed, and he has to have Tianhu, and he will turn the danger into a disaster if he encounters trouble." Looking at the voice, it turned out that Ye Zhiqing had also arrived, Xiao Ning'er, Shu Xiaoyu and others hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Ye Zhiqing said with a face full of approval: "It's not all God's blessing, if there is no cultivation of the helper, I am afraid that there are few people who can escape from the situation of Fangcai." The gang leader blocked Ning Er and Yan Shaoxia, and only fled after sending Xiao Yu out, which shows benevolence. Ye Suiyun hurriedly said that he didn't dare, Ye Zhiqing asked about the people in prison, Ye Suiyun recalled: "Before the explosion, I saw from a distance that the people in the prison had escaped, and they disappeared in a flash, and I thought that I had left. ”
Ye Zhiqing sighed: "She is not an ordinary person after all, she is born with arrogance, how can she let others see that she is down." Others didn't know what they meant, but they couldn't ask about it.
Chun Mei, who was standing in the farthest distance, suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, with a flying knife in his heart, and a person in the distance said viciously: "Stinky bitch, let you eat inside and out." "It turned out to be Chang Wanshan. It all happened so fast that no one reacted. Chang Wanshan saw that he had succeeded, turned around and retreated, and was about to flee, but the goose roared angrily, his right hand shook out, and the long sword shot out a white light and flew away, straight into Chang Wanshan's neck, and nailed him to the ground without fading. The thief made a whirring sound from his mouth, grabbed his hands wildly, and after a few convulsions of his whole body, he never moved again.
Ye Suiyun hurriedly stepped forward to check, and reached out to pull out the knife, but Ye Zhiqing was busy: "I can't pull it out." Ye Suiyun hurriedly stopped and said hurriedly: "Then what should I do?" Ye Zhiqing shook her head slowly and didn't say anything more. Ye Suiyun knew that he couldn't save Chunmei anymore, and he felt remorse in his heart, if he had killed Chang Wanshan before, why not, he only blamed himself for being soft-hearted.
Chun Mei opened his eyes slightly and said softly, "Thank you. . . Hero, I'm Ben. Already unclean ... I don't have the face to go back and see you. They. Struggling to take out a wooden comb from his arms, he endured the pain, tears slid down his cheeks and said, "Please. This thing. Give it to Xiumei. Say I'm in heaven. Bless her always. Ye Suiyun's eyes were full of tears, and he nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely send it." Shu Xiaoyu and Xi'er couldn't help crying, and the rest of the people were also sad. Chun Mei's eyes seemed to pass through Ye Suiyun, looking at the boundless night sky, and his speech suddenly became coherent, muttering: "This is my best destination, maybe I can see him again over there." "Dai Shi, Xi'er, and Ye Suiyun knew that what she said was naturally Luo Dao's life-saving benefactor, and then looked at Chun Mei, there was no sound. Xi'er and Chunmei have the deepest relationship, and they are even more sad and weeping.
At this time, Du Jixin held the dead Qian Zonglong in his arms, walked slowly, looked at the raging sea of fire in front of him, and said to himself: "Master, the apprentice has finally completed one thing for you. She thought that Li Xiangqiu had not escaped after all and was buried in it, but she didn't know that she had already escaped. Ye Zhiqing knew what she was referring to, and she didn't break it, and said, "Xin'er, why are you doing this? Is it possible that you have to live your life with hatred like your master? ”
Du Jixin looked straight ahead with his eyes and said quietly: "Where do I have a life, the big boss dies, and my life is over." Xi'er grabbed Ye Suiyun's hand on the side, and said with a cry: "Brother Daxia, please don't kill the eldest lady, she is very good to me and a good person." Ye Suiyun patted Xi'er's head and said softly: "Don't worry, no one wants to hurt her." ”
Du Jixin smiled at Xi'er, hugged Qian Zonglong, and slowly walked towards the fire, Xi'er was startled and shouted: "Big lady, don't go over, come back quickly." Du Jixin didn't seem to hear it anymore, never looked back, and finally disappeared into the flames.
Seeing this scene, people couldn't speak for a long time, and Ye Zhiqing sighed: "Hatred will not only ruin a person, but also destroy everything around her." But who knows how many of them are innocent. Ye Suiyun heard this, but felt a sense of desolation and resentment.
At this time, the team arrived from afar, and Sikong Zhongping and Feng Changqing led the Right Dragon Martial Army, as well as He Quangui and Wang Weilin and their respective disciples also arrived. Wang Weilin said: "We heard the loud noise here, and we were worried that something was wrong, so we all rushed here. "The movement of the explosion in the stone prison was clearly heard throughout the unsalted island.
Ye Zhiqing nodded and said, "It's okay, everything is settled." ”
He Quangui said to Yan Wuwu: "Dare to ask Shaoxia, can you see the leader of our gang?" Before Yan Wuwu could speak, Xiao Ning'er pointed to Ye Suiyun, who was covered in black ash next to her, and said, "This black man is your helper." The girls couldn't help but laugh.
He Quangui's face was full of astonishment, and he said, "Helper, what's wrong with you?" How do you wait ... The beggar gang of disciples held back a smile and hurriedly saluted. Ye Suiyun smiled: "Don't get in the way, Brother He, do you say this kind of embarrassment?" He Quangui looked at him from top to bottom, and nodded slowly, this gang leader is indeed no one at the moment, and the embarrassment may not be enough to describe it.
At this time, Luo Yi also arrived, followed by a large group of women, ranging from high to low, fat and thin. Luo Yi couldn't find Ye Suiyun for a while, and when he asked clearly, he said with a smile: "Brother Ye, I listened to your orders and rescued all the prisoners." They said they would thank you personally, and they came to you, but you are like this... ”
Ye Suiyun didn't even say no, Shu Xiaoyu took out a handkerchief, handed it to Ye Suiyun and said: "Wipe it quickly, is it possible to call you a black-faced hero when you talk about it in the rivers and lakes in the future?" The crowd laughed again.
Ye Zhiqing walked in front of Sikong Zhongping, bowed his hand and said, "Qixiufang has to get out of trouble this time, thank you for your help." ”
Sikong Zhongping replied: "A big battle on Saltless Island will spread in the rivers and lakes in a short time, and now it is an eventful time, I don't know what the impact will be, so the owner of the workshop is ready." ”
Ye Zhiqing nodded and said, "It seems that Zhiqing is not the only one who has this sense of storm. He took two steps forward and then said suddenly: "The Central Plains Martial Arts, which has been calm for many years, is probably going to make waves again." ”
Sikong Zhongping couldn't help but straighten up, and said with a deep brow: "Recently, not only are there frequent disputes in the martial arts, but even there are fluctuations and undercurrents in the imperial court, which makes people feel that there seems to be something brewing in it, but they can't find it. After speaking, he glanced at Ye Zhiqing, who was motionless next to him, and said: "Although the owner is a woman, she is admirable. ”
Ye Zhiqing smiled and said: "Zhiqing is calm, not without worry, because in this chaotic turbid haze, she just sees a little more light than under her feet. ”
Sikong Zhongping sighed and repeated: "A little light? ”
Ye Zhiqing's eyes turned to the people who were talking and laughing in the distance, and finally landed on the black figure, and said softly in a half-loud voice: "Yes, there are many dark tides in the world, and now it has indeed become mad and rainy, making everyone in it breathless, but fortunately, there is still that little light in this wave of treachery." ”
