Chapter 192: Back to Luodao
Gu Lingling saw that Lu Yaofeng's face was triumphant, and he had a fixed expression on his face, knowing that a catastrophe was coming. Seeing that the high priest came to her with an expressionless face, staring indifferently at Ye Suiyun and the others, seven or eight reasons suddenly flashed in her heart and wanted to explain, but she knew that none of them would help.
Ye Suiyun saw that Gu Lingling's six gods were ownerless, thinking that she was willing to take great risks to help, how could he cause her to be unable to recover, thinking of this, he wanted to reach out and grab Gu Lingling's arm, intending to pretend that she was coerced here by force. As for whether you can get out alive or not, it depends on luck.
At this time, I heard the high priest speak: "Yes, these three people are the blessing ceremony performed by this sacrifice after being incorporated into the Holy Religion a few days ago. ”
Gu Lingling and the others couldn't believe their ears. Ye Suiyun stiffly fixed his hand, and a stream of internal breath that was about to be spit out collided back, shocking his eyes and his heartbeat. Fortunately, on the outside, he was always respectful and unmoving, and there was no difference.
Lu Yaofeng was naturally surprised, and asked again: "High priest, you... Can you see clearly? The high priest frowned, and said impatiently: "Why, Lord Lu is now even questioning the words of this seat?" I have heard that some people around the sect leader have become more and more unscrupulous with the support of the sect leader, but it seems that it is not groundless. ”
Lu Yaofeng's face was pale, pale for a while, and he saluted: "The high priest is serious, it is a rude subordinate." After speaking, he glared at Gu Lingling fiercely again, and walked away.
After Lu Yaofeng left, Ye Suiyun and Gu Lingling, you look at me, I look at you, and they are puzzled. Seeing that the high priest's expression seemed to be quite complicated, he didn't look at a few people, but turned his head and said to the attendant behind him: "Don't forget what you promised me." He ran away without looking back.
When a few people were even more confused, they heard the attendant chuckle and said, "Niu Wazi, this girl saved you again, don't thank me soon." As he spoke, he ripped off the red scarf on his head, revealing short silver hair. Ye Suiyun's eyes were round, and it was the jade-faced flying fox Dai Shi in front of him.
Gu Lingling said curiously: "Brother Suiyun, do you know?" Ye Suiyun nodded and asked Dai Shi: "If the high priest doesn't expose us, is it you who did it?" Dai Shi raised his eyebrows, looking proud, and answered.
Gu Lingling said curiously: "This... How is this possible. She knew that the high priest had a proud personality, coupled with his respectful status, and his status in the church was second only to his father, how could he be willing to be at the mercy of others, let alone such a young woman outside the church.
Dai Shi snorted: "How impossible, no matter how powerful she is, no matter how high her status is, don't forget that she is still a woman." Ye Suiyun was even more confused, and asked, "So what?" Dai Shi said: "After saying goodbye to your Chang'an, I inquired in many ways, and then sneaked into the Dihua Palace to find the master, and I have been in and out dozens of times in the past three years. Hearing this, Gu Lingling was a little surprised and asked, "Dozens of times?" Dai Shi said: "Little sister, as long as my sister is willing, even if it is the inner courtyard of the palace, I want to enter and exit as if I were walking on the ground, and I can come and go freely, not to mention the Dihua Palace." Gu Lingling pouted and said no more. Dai Shi smiled with satisfaction, and continued: "As a result, the master didn't find it, but I discovered a big secret of this high priest. It turned out that she gave birth outside. Several people came out in unison.
Gu Lingling blurted out: "Nonsense. "You must know that the rules of the Cardinal Church are extremely strict, let alone giving birth to children, even if they have a skin-to-skin relationship with people outside the church, they will be tied to the torture stake and burned alive, not to mention the high priest.
Dai Shi rolled his eyes and said, "That's why I said this is her big secret." One day I lurked here in search of clues. Seeing that the high priest's behavior was suddenly a little abnormal, she dismissed everyone, changed her clothes alone, and left the palace through the secret passage. I was curious and followed, thinking that maybe I could get a clue from Master. After walking for a long time, she came to a farmhouse, and a little girl ran out of the house, hugged her and called her mother. I was also taken aback at the time, but in a blink of an eye, I realized that she must not want others to know about her secret actions. That's why I showed up to ask about Master's whereabouts. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to know either. Only then did the people understand the cause and effect. Gu Lingling had also believed ninety percent at this time, thinking that if it weren't for this, how could the high priest be controlled by people. If someone finds out, no matter how respectful her status is, I am afraid that she will not be able to escape the punishment of burning herself.
I only heard Dai Shi continue: "She didn't know, and I didn't embarrass her anymore. Later, I returned to the Dihua Palace with her, changed the clothes of the maid, and used her as a cover, so that I could continue to search for the whereabouts of the master. Earlier this day, I saw you hiding under the trail from a distance, and later the new land went to the high priest and mentioned that the three people next to Sister Gu were suspicious, so I knew that you must have exposed your feet, so I secretly asked the high priest to help cover up, and she could only agree. Dai Shi said proudly, Ye Suiyun hesitated: "I... I've found your master. The smile on Dai Shi's face suddenly froze.
Seeing Wei Qiwu, who was unconscious at this time, his skin was rough and blue, and the tips of his nails were constantly dripping with green liquid, Dai Shi couldn't help but reddened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with my master?" Ye Suiyun shook his head and couldn't answer. Gu Lingling said: "Judging from the color of the skin, this person's poison has entered the viscera, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to save." But.. Ye Suiyun hurriedly asked, "But what?" Gu Lingling said: "If you can find the 'Qingxue Pill' immediately and give it to him, there may be a glimmer of life." When she said this, Ye Suiyun remembered that she had heard the name of this medicine in Jiangjin Village when she was a child, and it was used to get rid of corpse poison, and she immediately had three points of hope in her heart. After asking, I learned that this medicine may be found in the alchemy pharmacy in the palace. Gu Lingling said: "Brother Suiyun, your friend has been deeply poisoned, and you must give him medicine as soon as possible. Dai Shi knew where the alchemy pharmacy was, and urged repeatedly.
Ye Suiyun looked back at Hammura and the others, knowing that it would be difficult for so many people to act at the same time, so he immediately decided to divide the troops into two ways, Gu Lingling first brought a group of Zoroastrian female disciples out of the secret path, and then joined them with Dai Shi after taking medicine. Ye Suiyun instructed Ah Bu and Xiaomo to also go out with everyone and wait for him in a safe place, and the two nodded in response.
After separating from everyone, Ye Suiyun carried Wei Qiwu on his back, led the way by Dai Shi, and ran towards the mountain. Along the way, I kept encountering red-clothed disciples patrolling the mountains back and forth, but fortunately, there were huge stone statues on both sides of the road, and some of them were lying horizontally, which happened to be used as a hiding place for Ye Suiyun and the three of them. The two of them dodged and ran, and after a while, they saw the square in front of them.
Dai Shi said: "The pharmacy is on the right side of the square, inside a large garden. As he spoke, he could see that there were a large number of people in the square, all sitting cross-legged, holding their hands to the sky, as if they were doing some strange ritual, and everyone was closing their eyes and chanting words. And there are more disciples patrolling on both sides.
Ye Suiyun and Dai Shi slipped quietly along the perimeter to a small door on the right side of the square and dodged in. Inside is a large garden, in which hundreds of flowers are planted, some grow on the ground, some are hung in the air with wooden frames, colorful and fragrant. The two were about to breathe a sigh of relief when they suddenly saw a young man standing in the garden, holding a lotus pot and watering the flowers. When the man saw the two of them at first glance, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Ye Suiyun knew that as long as he shouted a word, he and Dai Shi's master and apprentice would be explained here, so he flew forward and stretched out his finger to the other party. Dai Shi had the same mind and killed from the other side. Fortunately, the man did not shout loudly, but moved his body slightly, moved two feet sideways, and at the same time avoided the attack of the two, and his body was extremely clever.
Ye Suiyun missed a blow, swapped his front and back palms, and chased after him with a style of 'swimming dragon riding the wind'. The man said, "Good hand." He turned around and flicked towards the back of Ye Suiyun's hand. If it was in the past, Ye Suiyun would not be affected in the slightest, but could take advantage of the situation to lock the opponent's wrist. But now that his skills have not recovered, in the face of the other party's solution, he has to avoid it.
The man took advantage of Ye Suiyun's hiding behind him, and turned his defense into an attack, and his arm reached his throat. Ye Suiyun hurriedly retreated, and with a bang, the clothes on his chest were torn open, but fortunately he was not injured.
The man was expressionless, but suddenly saw Ye Suiyun's torn placket revealing a pendant, which was the Five Flames Holy Flame Order. The man's face changed slightly, and he asked with confusion, "Are you the person of the chief sect?" Ye Suiyun didn't know what he meant, and said, "What is the chief teacher?" In this era, he put a dagger on the man's throat and said, "If you want to live, don't be loud." ”
The man asked coldly, "Who are you?" It was only at this time that Ye Suiyun and the others could see clearly that this young man was in his thirties, with picturesque eyebrows and a face like a crown of jade, and he was unusually handsome. It's just that his eyes are cold, and there is an indescribable calmness in his demeanor. Only looked at Dai Shi for a while, Ye Suiyun saw this and hurriedly patted her on the back of the head, and then came back to her senses.
Dai Shi sighed in admiration and said, "Your sect leader must like you very much." It's a shame. Ye Suiyun remembered what Gu Lingling said to Lu Yaofeng before, and knew that this person must be one of Assasin's male favorites. I really can't figure out what this perverted person looks like, so many handsome men are collected, and all of them are extraordinary.
When he learned the purpose of the two, the man said coldly: "You don't have to look for it, I have it." As he spoke, he untied a medicine bottle from his waist and threw it to the two of them. He said: "It's just that he has been deeply poisoned, and I'm afraid that Qingxue Dan won't be able to save him." ”
Dai Shi still restrained the man with a dagger, while Ye Suiyun picked up the porcelain bottle, poured out a few white pills, crushed them and fed them to Wei Qiwu's mouth. Seeing that he was unconscious and unable to chew, he used acupoint techniques to massage several key points on his neck, and finally fed it smoothly.
The man said: "Qingxue Pill is only effective when he is first infected with corpse poison, if he is poisoned to this extent, there is no way to return to heaven in the world." ”
Dai Shi said angrily: "Nonsense, if you give fake medicine, my master dies, and I want you to be buried with you." The man said lightly: "He will not die, but he will become a corpse and continue to wander in this world, as long as no one cuts off his head, he will live longer than you." Speaking of which, that's a kind of eternity, isn't it? ”
Ye Suiyun's anger surged up when he heard this, and he said, "You use cruel methods to turn people into walking corpses, are you really not afraid of retribution?" ”
The man seemed to be disdainful, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "The palm technique you just used is the dragon palm?" Ye Suiyunqi said: "How do you know?" The man nodded and said, "I once saw the sect leader demonstrate, and he said that it was one of the few martial arts in the world that made it difficult for him to deal with. After speaking, he turned around and said to Dai Shi: "I know that there was once a person who was poisoned by a corpse that was more profound than your master, but in the end, he was able to maintain a clear consciousness and behave as usual. You should go to this person, maybe he has a way to save your master. ”
Dai Shi and Ye Suiyun were pleasantly surprised and asked for details. The man said, "This person's name is Murong Chasing the Wind." Dai Shi asked, "Where is he?" The man's eyes were blazing, and he said, "I can take you to him." The two looked at each other, not knowing what medicine this man was selling in his gourd.
The man gently pushed Dai Shi's dagger away and said, "If I want to call someone, I won't waste time waiting with you." ”
Dai Shi still didn't dare to believe the stranger's words, and asked, "Your Excellency isn't a fool, is there really such a person?" The man said: "Of course, Murong Chasing Feng is already a legendary figure in the Cardinal Sect, but he has a tacit word. Because he was the only one who had been poisoned by the corpse and left the Cardinal Cult alive. After he finished speaking, seeing that Ye Suiyun and Dai Shi seemed to be still in a daze, they were at a loss, so he said, "Let me go." ”
Dai Shi asked, "Is it from the secret passage?" The man said, "I didn't think you still knew the secret way." But it's too far from the secret passage, and I have another way. Ye Suiyun was still not at ease, and asked, "Why do you want to help us?" The man paused, looked at the flame hanging from his neck, and said, "Even if it's because of it." ”
Ye Suiyun picked up Wei Qiwu again, and followed the man to the depths of the garden with Dai Shi. The man seemed to be quite familiar with the terrain, and he never hesitated to turn or go straight. After a while, they heard the sound of the water bubbling, and several people walked to a small stream, and Dai Shi sighed: "This Dihua Palace is built on the mountain, close to the mountains and rivers, if it weren't for the evil behavior of the Cardinal Sect, this place is really a beautiful scenery in the world." Ye Suiyun agreed.
I saw the man jump onto a light boat by the stream and untie the cable. Ye Suiyun and the others also jumped up. The boat went down the stream slowly for half an hour. Until the surrounding scenery was full of woods and grass, and no houses were to be seen, the man stopped the boat and explained to the two of them that he was out of the range of the Ogihua Palace at this moment, and he needed to go south from there. He glanced at Wei Qiwu and said, "I'm afraid that this person won't last long, so he has to find Murong Chasing the Wind as soon as possible, and he can't delay for half a minute on the way." ”
Ye Suiyun and the others originally planned to go to Hongye Lake to meet Gu Lingling and the others first, but when they heard this man say it at this moment, they felt slightly hesitant. Both of them knew that what he said was false, the matter was serious, and it was naturally important to save people at the moment, so they immediately decided to set off to find Murong to chase the wind. There was no horse mount to be found on the left and right for a while, but fortunately, the three of them were all outstanding, and they all spread their skills and galloped south.
Along the way, there was no food or drink, but it was difficult for the three of them. But flesh and blood can't always rush endlessly, so they occasionally stop and rest. During the break, I inquired and learned that the man's name was Hawthorne. When he gave his name, he said no more. Along the way, they basically didn't say a word, but they just led the way, which made Dai Shi and the others feel more and more strange, and they were secretly vigilant.
Ye Suiyun carried Wei Qiwu all the way, and he didn't stop, and after half a day, he felt that the breath in his body was gradually circulating, and it seemed that his true strength had recovered a lot, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy.
After running for another two hours, after a rough calculation, the three of them had traveled more than a hundred miles since they left the Dihua Palace, and finally Hawthorne said: "It's here, it's in front." ”
Ye Suiyun followed what he was looking for, only to see a ruined city wall in front of him, ruined and dilapidated. At the top of the city gate, which is only half left, the city sign hanging obliquely reads the words 'Li Ducheng'.
Ye Suiyun's heart jumped, and he secretly wondered how it turned out to be here. Immediately, I thought of the horrors of how I had inadvertently fled here when I was hunted down by the Cardinal Sect ten years ago. Dai Shi saw that his face changed drastically, and asked, "Niu Wazi, what's wrong with you?" Ye Suiyun didn't answer, and said to himself: "It turns out that this is Luodao." Hawthorne nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
Although it was daylight at this time, Ye Suiyun and Dai Shi, who were in front of Li Ducheng, did not feel the slightest warmth, but they felt that the yin wind was gusting, and the unstoppable cold went straight into the back spine. In front of the ruined city gate, there was no trace of popularity, only countless yellow runes floating around, and at this moment, even the sound of the wind was desolate like a woman's cry. Dai Shi was not a timid person, but at this time, he couldn't help but lean towards Ye Suiyun.
Just when the two of them were hesitating to enter the city, they suddenly heard a loud bang, and something flew out of the wall and smashed in front of the two of them, and suddenly the dust flew up. After seeing the things on the ground clearly, Dai Shi screamed in fright and shrank behind Ye Suiyun. It turned out to be a jet-black coffin. Immediately after that, a strong figure flashed out of the city, stopped next to the coffin, and asked, "What are you doing here?" The voice was low and hoarse.
Dai Shi saw that the person who spoke was tall and strong, shaped like an iron tower, and the most frightening thing was that half of his face was dry and wrinkled, his complexion was black and green, and he looked like a living ghost, while the other half was like an ordinary person. At first sight, seeing this strange and terrifying face, Dai Shi was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and said, "You... Don't come here. ”
Ye Suiyun immediately recognized that this half-human, half-ghost stranger was the benefactor who saved his life in the dark night. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Engong, I see you again." ”
The strange man looked blank, and he didn't know if he had denied Ye Suiyun. Ye Suiyun suddenly thought of something and asked, "Engong, you... Aren't you Murong Chasing the Wind? The strange man's eyes moved, and he said, "What are you looking for from me?" ”
When Dai Shi heard this, he couldn't care about being scared anymore, hugged the master over, knelt down and said, "Please... Please senior, save my master. ”
Murong Chaifeng squatted down to check it for a while, and said coldly: "This person has also been poisoned by the corpse, and it is difficult to save him, so you should quickly cut off his head and burn his body." ”
thought that he had found a savior, but he didn't know that he sentenced Wei Qiwu to death, and Ye Suiyun's heart suddenly sank. When Dai Shi heard this, how could he agree, and said hurriedly: "But... Haven't you also been poisoned by corpses, but you are alive and well? ”
Murong chased the wind and said: "That's because I suppressed it with my strength, that's why... As he spoke, he suddenly stopped and asked, "How do you know about me, and who brought you to me?" ”
Ye Suiyun heard that his tone was different, as if something was wrong, and replied: "It's a friend I just met, he's here." He gestured to Hawthorne, who was walking slowly.
Hawthorne's handsome face, which had never shown emotion, actually smiled at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Old friend, long time no see." ”
After Murong Chaifeng saw the person coming clearly, his already terrifying face became even more terrifying, and he said coldly: "Assasin, what tricks are you playing?" ”
