Chapter 21: The Past of Xuanwu (2)
In the secret passage, Xu Fuquan took out a fire fold from his arms, blew it gently, and the road in front of him became brighter, and he led Tang Zhengya forward.
Suddenly, Tang Zhengyan seemed to smell a fragrance of flowers, and muttered, "Are there any flowers down here?" ”
Xu Fuquan turned around when he heard this, he also frowned, and immediately protected Tang Zhengyan behind him: "It's black flower poison, behind me." ”
"What black flower poison?" Tang Zheng said confusedly.
"It's Xiangmen refining a black flower." Xu Shiquan clenched the hilt of the sword hard, and the smell of the flower became more and more intense: "This flower is extremely poisonous, we have to get out of here quickly." ”
"Oh, that's it." Tang Zhengya took out a pill and handed it to Xu Shiquan, "Don't you forget, my lord, I am the little master of the Shennong Valley Medicine Immortal, can a mere poison stump me?" ”
Xu Fuquan smiled awkwardly, and after taking the pill and taking it: "I'm a little anxious." ”
Tang Zhengya shrugged helplessly: "But that sister does have some ability, and she is so powerful in poison arts." ”
Xu Fuquan nodded: "Hezhu is indeed a genius of Xiangmen, but unfortunately he is still not as good as Sister Qingxian." ”
"Sister Qingxian?" Tang Zhengyan frowned, "Listening to the adult's call so kindly, don't you like her?" ”
"Qingxian is just the daughter of a friend of mine, not to mention that I just think she is my sister, don't think about it." Xu Fuquan replied embarrassedly.
Tang Zhengya stuck out her tongue: "Hehe, if you like it, you like it, what is there to hide." ”
"It's true, Qingxian is two years younger than me, so I just treat her as a sister." Xu Fuquan shook his head.
"And what do you think of me?" Tang Zhengya suddenly approached Xu Fuquan's side.
"Uh, Divine Doctor, why do you ask that?" Xu Fuquan was stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Hahahaha, it's funny, don't take it seriously!" Tang Zhengyan smiled, "But ah, now we have to find a place to escape from here?" ”
Xu Fuquan stretched out his hand and probed: "I feel that the wind in front of me has become louder, and there must be a way out behind this wall." Xu Fuquan drew his sword and slashed forward, slowly opening the stone door, and it was dark inside, and suddenly the firelight on both sides of the stone wall lit up.
"I don't think something is right here, there won't be any mechanism in there, right?" Tang Zhengya asked.
Xu Fuquan shook his head: "No, the dual fire path, you can survive." This path should be for escape, to help people get straight to a safe place, let's go. ”
"But the lord has come down to protect me, what about the pavilion master?" Tang Zhengya asked.
"Don't worry, when I arrived just now, I had already received a signal from the front yard, and the enemy had been forced back by the cloud qilin, so the pavilion master should be fine." Xu Fuquan said calmly, if he didn't ensure the absolute safety of the pavilion master, he would never jump down without hesitation.
Tang Zhengyan nodded: "That's fine." ”
Xu Fuquan led Tang Zhengyan forward: "The poison of the pavilion master, the divine doctor can cure it." ”
Tang Zhengya smiled weakly, of course she couldn't tell Xu Fuquan that the pavilion master had gone crazy just now, but fortunately, she walked behind Xu Fuquan, Xu Fuquan naturally couldn't see her expression, she pretended to be calm and said: "It's considered to have expelled the poison, but those people made trouble just now, and it wasn't done." ”
"Then we'll have to get out of here." When Xu Fuquan heard this, he quickened his pace.
"That's right, sir. That day, I heard from the Pavilion Master that he had been chased and killed, what happened? Tang Zhengya said suddenly.
"That was eight years ago, that day, the Pavilion Master encountered a surprise attack when they were on a mission, the Pavilion Master was seriously injured, if it wasn't for Yuyin's predecessors to save the Pavilion Master, then the Pavilion Master would probably have died there. But Yuyin's predecessor was seriously injured in that battle, and that injury could not be completely healed, so he could only rely on Xiangmen's medical skills to hang his life, so Yuyin retired to Xuanwu Tower, and I inherited his position as an executioner. I often think that if Yuyin's predecessor hadn't been injured back then, then he would directly succeed to the position of pavilion master, maybe there wouldn't be so much trouble. Xu Fuquan said.
Tang Zhengya let out a faint "oh" and didn't continue the topic, but after walking for a while, he pretended to ask casually: "Lord Xu, do you know about the Qu family?" ”
Xu Fuquan stopped when he heard this, turned around, and looked at Tang Zhengya: "Why did the divine doctor start to be curious about our affairs." Could it be that the miracle doctor has a relationship with the Qu family? ”
"Some of the body techniques taught me by my master seem to have something to do with the composer." Tang Zhengya scratched his head.
Xu Fuquan was slightly stunned, turned his head and continued to move forward: "The Qu family was destroyed by the pavilion master. ”
"This is also a mission performed by the Pavilion Master?" Tang Zhengyan asked.
Xu Fuquan let out a faint "um" and continued: "That was the last task of the pavilion master when he took office, and at that time, the pavilion master was opposed by some people before he took office, so he was sent to carry out a task to stop those people's mouths. ”
Tang Zhengya pursed her lips: "I see." You said that Yu Yin was your previous terminus, and he retired now, so isn't this position yours? ”
Xu Fuquan shook his head and said: "My identity is a wordless person, the Xuanwu Pavilion has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there has never been a wordless person who has succeeded him as the pavilion master.
"Eh, does the Xuanwu Pavilion have a rule that those who have no words cannot succeed to the pavilion master?" Tang Zheng said confusedly.
Xu Fuquan was stunned for a moment: "I have never heard of this rule." ”
"Wouldn't it be good if the lord directly succeeded him as the pavilion master." Tang Zhengya scratched her cheek, "The pavilion master is also strange, since you have become an executioner, he will not give up his seat to you." ”
"The Pavilion Master will not pass on the throne to me, because if he does so, it will be tantamount to humiliating the three gates, then they will not just send some people to kill the Pavilion Master, but mobilize all the three killers to besiege it. After all, a wordless person like me, even if he is given a surname and a character and nominally joins Sanmen, there are still people in Sanmen who will not agree with us wordless people. Besides, I was in a special situation at that time, and I was forced to succeed to this position, otherwise I would not be qualified to be this executioner. Xu Fuquan suddenly stopped as he walked.
"What's wrong?" Tang Zhengya asked.
Xu Shiquan turned around and sat down, and took a light breath: "I'm sorry. Please wait a moment. Then he lightly tapped the three acupoints on his shoulder and began to cross his legs.
"You're hurt?" Tang Zhengyan frowned.
"There's a great guy in Xiangmen, and his stick skills are even stronger than I thought." Xu Fuquan said in a deep voice.
"Harm, you're surrounded by a person who is not the first or second in the world's medical skills, and you still have to hold on even though you're injured? I really don't understand what you're thinking, do you want to die if you tell me? Tang Zhengyan leaned down and stretched out on Xu Fuquan's wrist, "It's okay, the injury is not serious, don't worry about luck first, I'll prick a few stitches to smooth out the blood and qi in the body." ”
"Okay." Xu Fuquan nodded.
"I know you're strong, but sometimes don't carry it alone, or you'll hurt yourself." Tang Zhengya took out three silver needles and inserted them into Xu Fuquan's back.
Xu Fuquan sighed lightly: "There are some things that have to be done." ”
"Do you want to do something deadly?" Tang Zhengyan glanced at Xu Fuquan, "Your life is not your life?" ”
"Then it's also a fatal thing for me to protect the divine doctor now." Xu Fuquan said with a faint smile.
"You..."Tang Zhengya scolded in a low voice, taking back the silver needle, "Forget it, I won't tell you this." The stass has dispersed, and it is ready to be exercised. ”
Xu Fuquan waved his hand, and after the true qi circulated in his body, the stasis in his body dissipated, and he got up and continued to walk forward: "I am a killer in the Xuanye, killing countless people, and my life is a very illusory thing for me, even if I cherish it, what is the point?" ”
Tang Zhengya looked at Xu Fuquan's back, and was about to say something, but he still stopped: "Forget it, after finishing this errand, I don't think I will meet it in the future." Tang Zhengyan hurriedly followed.
