Chapter 12: The Hunt

The night was as quiet as water, and a curving last quarter moon hung in the western sky.

Qin Wen reclined on the bed, and his divine sense kept probing the two Shouyi Pills on the door of the room, these two Shouyi Pills were Xuan-level low-grade pills that Qin Wen had let Xiaoxi refine, which were originally pills to enhance divine consciousness, but the degree of exploration of vitality was very high, as long as there was a fluctuation of vitality, Qin Wen's divine sense could be perceived immediately.

In addition, he also put two Shouyi pills in the lamp in the room, one of which contains the medicinal powder of the red frost silk, and the other contains the ecstasy powder that Qin Wen configured himself, he can control the bursting of these two elixirs with his divine sense, the ecstasy powder is colorless and odorless, after the cultivator inhales, it will only imprison the vitality of the dantian to the greatest extent, these are the elixirs that Qin Wen uses to save his life.

Since Xiaoxi refined these elixirs, Qin Wen arranged them like this every day, although he didn't know the cultivation of the Gu people, but he must not have reached the realm of the Qin family elders, according to this reasoning, it should be in the realm below the middle level of the Xuanshi, then these pills arranged by Qin Wen can at least protect themselves.

A black-clothed figure floated down in Qin Wen's courtyard, stopped and listened carefully, there was only the sound of two people breathing in the entire courtyard, one of them was in the main room where the candle was still lit, and the other was in the side room.

According to the information brought by Qin Quan, Qin Wen slept with candles all night on weekdays, but Qin Lu moved to the West Wing to live these days.

As soon as the black-clothed figure waved his hand, the door of the main room quietly opened, his strength was controlled just right, and there was no sound when the door opened, but the two Shouyi Pills on the lattice automatically shook twice without wind.

Qin Wen opened his eyes slightly at this time, and as soon as his divine sense moved, the two Shouyi Pills in the candle flame automatically split in half, and the powder inside was instantly dissolved by the lamp oil, and the candlelight flickered brightly a few times.

Qin Wen stuffed an elixir of anti-mazes in his mouth, and a jade bottle at his cuff also slipped into the palm of his hand at the same time, and then the lid of the jade bottle was opened by the vitality, and the Gu worms inside slowly crawled out.

After the man in black walked into the room, he saw Qin Wen who was lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, reaching out and pinching Qin Wen's veins, but suddenly found that the vitality in his dantian was running a little hard, and in this stunned effort, Qin Wen's right hand had already clasped his palm.

Then he asked, "Who are you? I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me?"

The man in black felt that his vitality could still function, but it was much slower than before, and he said a little more comfortingly: "Since you know that there is a holy worm in your body, you should also understand its power, as long as my vitality moves now, it will immediately explode in your body." ”

Qin Wen smiled slightly: "It seems that I am controlling you now, you should answer my question obediently." ”

At this time, the man in black used his divine sense to connect with the purple lamp in his arms, and input a trace of vitality into the flesh worm of the lamp, and then said hideously: "I'll let you taste the taste of devouring the marrow first." ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly his own dantian let out a hollow burst, and a palm-sized hole suddenly exploded in his lower abdomen, and Qin Wen was also bounced up by the huge impact, and with a "gaba" sound, the carved bed top was opened by him with a big hole, and it fell down again.

After this top-to-bottom impact, Qin Wen, who was wearing soft armor, was also smashed.

The man in black looked at his bleeding wound with a horrified gaze, felt that his internal organs were shattered by the explosion just now, and asked with pain, "How can the purple chrysalis be in my dantian?"

Qin Wen got up from the bed, and then threw the jade bottle that used to contain purple chrysalis to the man in black, who sniffed the smell inside, and said with a puzzled face: "Chishuangqi, how can you have the holy medicine, who told you?"

Qin Wen shook his sore body that had been fallen, and said with a slight smile on his face: "You shouldn't offend a Dan Master, you want to give me this Gu worm, oh, you call it a purple chrysalis?"

At this time, the wind outside the door flashed, and I saw Qin Lu entering the room in disheveled clothes, and saw Qin Wen and the man in black sitting on the bed and the other falling to the ground, so he hurriedly supported Qin Wen and asked, "Young Master, are you okay?" ”

Qin Wen nodded, then pointed at the man in black and said, "I'm fine, this is the person who came to assassinate me, do you know?"

Qin Lu pulled down the black cloth that the man in black was masked, and when he saw a painful face that was already a little distorted, he shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Qin Wen thought for a moment at this time and said, "Qin Fu is now the chief steward of the manor, you can find him to deal with it and see if you can ask something." ”

Qin Lu agreed, and was just about to leave, thinking that Qin Wen was the only one in the room, he looked at him with some hesitation, Qin Wen knew what he was thinking, so he waved his hand and said, "You go, I'm fine here." ”

After Qin Lu left, Qin Wen looked at the black-clothed man who was clenching his teeth and said, "What's the matter?"

The man in black looked at Qin Wen like an idiot and said, "Do you think I'll tell you?" Since you know the Red Frost Silk, I have no regrets about planting it in your hands. However, you will definitely know the reason later, and by then, you will feel what it is like to die in despair in endless torment. ”

After saying this, the strange-looking "quack" laughed twice, and a mouthful of black blood suddenly gushed out of his mouth, and then he fell to the ground and died.

Qin Wen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the man in black to die so decisively, but what Zuihou said said made his spine feel a little chill.

From what the man in black said, he could deduce that he must have some secret on his body that he needed to get, and that there should be a huge organization behind the man in black.

He didn't know how he could get into such a big trouble if he was now an ordinary side disciple of the Qin family's manor, and he didn't have any special and valuable items on his body, it seemed that the matter of being put into a purple chrysalis was far from over, and he had to think more about his ability to protect himself while practicing alchemy.

Just as he thought of this, a middle-aged man in a yellow steward's robe walked into the room under the leadership of Qin Lu, followed by two young Tsing Yi stewards.

Qin Lu pointed to the black-clothed man lying on the ground and said, "Brother Fu, this is the assassin who assassinated my young master. ”

The middle-aged steward in the yellow shirt nodded, looking at the black blood foam left at the corner of the black-clothed man's mouth, he couldn't help frowning slightly, stretched out his hand to the back, and the Tsing Yi steward next to him hurriedly handed him a yellow silk handkerchief, he dipped the black blood foam in the silk handkerchief, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it.

Qin Wen knew that the middle-aged steward in the yellow robe was Qin Fu, who was assigned to the great elder by his great-grandfather as a personal servant since he was a child, and Qin Lu also followed his grandfather at that time.

However, the two of them did not break away from the relationship with the main family, Qin Fu is still following the Great Elder, and finally broke through the Xuanshi period a few decades ago, and is now the great housekeeper of the Qin family, and his appearance has gradually recovered from the original old man to the appearance of middle age.

And Qin Wen's grandfather died in that war, and Qin Lu has also been following Qin Wen until now, because he has always stayed at the lower level of Xuantu, so he is now a gray-haired old man, but his relationship with Qin Fu has always been good, so he still calls their original names.

Qin Fu got up and threw the silk handkerchief on the body of the man in black, then turned around and asked the two Tsing Yi stewards next to him: "I am a little familiar with this assassin, you can take a look, it looks like the worship of Young Master Luan." ”

A Tsing Yi steward stepped forward and said, "Yes, it's Ruan Xian, I saw him in Young Master Luan's study two days ago." ”

Qin Fu then bent down and opened Ruan's shirt, a black leather bag was exposed from the clothes, and the silk button on the leather bag was opened, and the lamp that was extinguished at one end was exposed from the skin, and Qin Lu behind him said with some surprise: "Chrysalis lamp, it is a person from the Tianmi Sect." ”

Qin Fu also said to the steward behind him with a solemn face: "You two go and invite the four elders, and let the guardian family surround the courtyard of Young Master Luan, no one can be released, if someone breaks in, kill on the spot." Speaking of zuihou, there was a cold-blooded murderous aura in his words.

After the two stewards left, Qin Fu asked Qin Wen, "Young Master Wen, when did Ruan Fengfeng break into your room?"

Qin Wen recounted the preparation of the haode rhetoric, omitting the matter of being hit by the purple chrysalis in the middle, just saying that the man in black was discovered by himself after breaking in, and then he was restrained by him, just at the most urgent moment, suddenly there was a burst in the dantian of the man in black, and Qin Lu arrived, as for the reason, he couldn't say clearly.

Qin Fu checked Ruan's dantian wound again at this time, there was indeed the breath of a pupal worm in it, it should be that he was not manipulated properly, and he was killed by the pupa and self-detonated, as for Zuihou taking the poison, it may be that he was afraid that he would be forced to confess after being caught, Qin Fu couldn't help but nodded.

Then he asked, "Young Master Wen, have you ever seen Ruan Xian before?"

At this time, Qin Wen knew that it was originally the worship of the second young master of the long house, and it should also involve some kind of Tianmi Sect or something, looking at Qin Fu and Qin Lu's expressions were more solemn, this Tianmi Sect should be more difficult, and he shook his head and said, "I have never seen Ruan Worship." ”

Just as Qin Fu continued to check the items on Ruan Xianfeng's body, an old man's somewhat displeased voice came from outside and said, "Ah Fu, this black light is blinding, what are you doing by tossing me into a broken courtyard." ”

While speaking, an old man in a white robe walked into Qin Wen's room, with a look of uncertainty on his face, and a Tsing Yi steward behind him was carefully accompanied.
