Lingshou County

Rejuvenation Hall

The night was hazy, and it was raining lightly outside the window, and as summer approached, the rain gradually increased.

Feng An got up and closed the window, then sat back at his desk and carefully flipped through the account book of the medicine.

When he had looked at it, he stretched and stood up, took off the lampshade, picked up the oil lamp, and prepared to go back to his room to rest.

The whole rejuvenation hall is divided into three parts, and the one facing the street is used as a façade to treat and take medicine for guests. The courtyard in the middle is a piece used to dry the newly harvested herbs, and there are more than a dozen charcoal stoves for boiling medicine in the corners, and around the courtyard is a piece of more than a dozen houses of different sizes to house the men and their families.

Feng An, who came out of the study, went to the yard with an oil-paper umbrella first, checked the herbs drying under the shed, and after making sure that the cover was tight, he went around the porch to see if the guys in the store were resting.

Since being appointed by the old shopkeeper five years ago, this is one thing Feng An must do every day. After everything was checked, he returned to his room with peace of mind and turned off the lights to rest.

Bang bang!

Not long after he put his clothes on his back and lay down, Feng An heard a knock at the door.

"Who?"

"My lord, the thing has arrived!"

Hearing the response outside the door, Feng An fell asleep and quickly sat up.

Creak!

The moment Feng An opened the door, the man in black standing at the door flashed into the house with a clammy and cold air.

Feng An didn't feel abnormal about the behavior of the man in black, stretched out his head and looked left and right at the door, and after making sure that he was not tracking, he closed the door again.

Recently, the guards around him have been empty, and he has to be careful again.

The sky was obscured by dark clouds, and the room with the door closed was pitch black, with only vague outlines visible. Outside the house, the sound of rainwater accumulating on the eaves and crackling to the ground.

"Bring something, come with me!"

"Yes!"

Feng An skillfully flipped open the bed, opened the entrance to a secret room, and quickly jumped in. The black shadow who entered the room did not hesitate to follow.

After the two entered, the bed board was driven by a mechanism and slowly closed.

Bang bang!

The light of flint and steel sounded in Feng An's hand, and soon the lamp in the basement was lit, and the candle flame flickered, shrouded in a faint light, and the figures of the two people were revealed.

Dressed in black, he was a middle-aged man with a thin face and a pair of sinister triangular eyes.

Feng An obviously knew the triangular-eyed man, but he just glanced at it and said, "Did you see the thing?"

"When I first took it, I took a look!" Triangle Eyes said with a smile.

Although his strength is stronger than Feng An, his status in the Blood Killing Hall is far below Feng An.

Feng An is the deacon of the Blood Killing Hall in Yuzhou, and he is just a thug.

"Bring it up!"

"Your Excellency, please look!"

The man carefully placed an old wooden box in his arms in front of the candlelight.

By the light of the candle, Feng An first looked left and right, and only after making sure that it was just ordinary willow wood did he lift the lid.

As the lid of the box opened, a smell of decay and mildew immediately came to the face. Feng An blew lightly, diluting the taste, and then began to check.

There were three bound books in the wooden box, the paper was yellowed, there were a lot of penicillium in the corners, and a small number of borers could be seen, obviously the books were some years old.

Seeing the miserable appearance of the book, Feng An couldn't help frowning.

"Are you sure it's this thing?"

"The villain has carefully searched for Lu Xiucai's house, and there is only such a box!"

"Did anyone ask?"

"I've used all the means, and I'll ask for such a one until I die!"

Under the torture of the Blood Killing Palace, even a man beaten with iron can't withstand it, let alone a weak scholar.

Hearing Triangle Eye say this, Feng An endured the discomfort and picked up the three books and read them one by one.

One is "Thousand Character Text", one is "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", and one is "Lu Tong's Travels".

In addition to "Lu Tong's Travels", which is a unique book, the other two are common enlightenment books in the world.

"Looks like it's fake news again!"

After reading the contents of the book, Feng An's face showed disappointment.

"The villain thinks so too!" the man chimed in.

"Whether the thing is real or not, there will be no credit for your work in the door!

Hearing Feng An's words, the man's face turned happy, and he bowed down and said, "Master Xie cultivates!"

"Go back early, so as not to show your feet! Recently, the six doors and all the major sects have been moving more frequently!"

"The little one understands!"

Feng An then opened the mechanism, and the two jumped up from the basement.

"Adults, small ones first...... Coo!"

After reaching the ground, the man was about to retreat, when a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, and he was just about to raise his arm to block, a sharp short sword had already slashed through his carotid artery and throat.

Seeing that the man was killed neatly, Feng An's eyes widened, and he quickly pulled back, but the speed of the black shadow far exceeded him, and as soon as he took two steps back, he was overtaken.

"Hero's life!"

The unusually sharp blade easily cut a bloody mark on Feng An's neck, making him dare not make any rash moves.

Poof!

"Ahh

Feng An, who was controlled, suddenly let out a muffled snort, it turned out that he didn't know when, a dagger in the black shadow's hand was pierced on the back of his left hand.

A small hidden weapon fell from Feng An's palm, making a snapping sound and a crisp sound.

"You'd better be honest with me, next time, I'll just cut it off. ”

A deep male voice sounded behind Feng An.

"The little ones don't dare anymore!

Feng An cried and begged for mercy.

A deacon of the Blood Killing Hall naturally wouldn't cry because of this injury, Feng An was just trying to confuse his opponent.

"Now I ask, you answer, don't say a word of nonsense!"

"Yes! Yes!"

"Who asked you to track down Song Yifei?"

"Song Yifei?"

Poof!

Feng An hesitated slightly, and the black shadow behind him directly pierced the back of his hand and pierced his thigh.

Hiss!

"It's Lord Lin Jiuxiao! Lord Lin Jiuxiao of the Blood Killing Palace!"

"Where is he?"

"I don't know...... Ahhhhhhh

Before Feng An finished speaking, he felt the dagger pierced the back of his hand and thigh slashing into his muscles, and he trembled with pain.

"Where is Lin Jiuxiao?"

"Hero, I don't ...... Ahhhhhhh

Feng An felt a piece of flesh and blood being separated from his body, and the tidal wave of pain constantly stimulated his pain nerves.

"Where?"

"Hero, I really ...... Ahhhhhh

Feng An felt that half of the tendons in his left hand had been cut off by the dagger, and unless there was some panacea in the future, most of his hand would be wasted.

Although he was known for his intelligence in the Blood Killing Palace, the sudden destruction of a hand still made him secretly hate in his heart.

Next, the black shadow behind him asked dozens of questions in the same way. Regardless of whether the answer is true or false, you will not stop until you answer it.

What made Feng An strange was that in addition to Lin Jiuxiao, about the Blood Killing Palace, and about the Wudang disciples who had recently been hunted down, there were also some strange questions.

For example, do you like men or not, do you think it is better for men to be above or women to be on top, how do you think the big cadres should be reformed to become rich, and do you think the Demon Gate and the righteous path can live in peace? What is the name of your old lady, and what is the name of the dog raised by your second uncle?

"Thank you for your cooperation!"

No emotion could be heard in the voice of the dark shadow.

"Yes!

Although Feng An hated the other party in his heart, he didn't dare to show it in the slightest on his face and mouth.

"So, now answer the question again, if one word is wrong!

There are so many questions, the ghost remembers!

Feng An complained weakly in his heart, he knew that the person behind him was using this method to verify the truth of the problem.

If the answer just now was just a lie he made up casually, it would be difficult to answer it now, especially in the middle, with a lot of meaningless questions.

After five long interrogations, Feng An felt that he was about to collapse at any moment, and the black shadow behind him finally stopped interrogating him after getting the answer he wanted.

"Take this medicine, I don't want you to die so soon!"

"Thank you, hero!"

Feng An reluctantly took the pill and stuffed it into his mouth. During the interrogation just now, he was almost stabbed all over his body, and if he didn't treat it, he was afraid that he would really bleed to death.

"Now, open the passage to the underground chamber!"

"Yes!"

The short sword left his neck, and Feng An dragged his seriously injured body to the side of the bed and opened the mechanism, revealing the passage of the entrance.

The moment the passage opened, Feng An's body tilted and he quickly jumped in. He never put the hope of survival on the mercy of the dark shadow behind him.

He has designed a large number of mechanisms in the secret room, even if he is a congenital master, it is impossible to break in at will, as long as he persists until tomorrow, the people in the city find an abnormality, and he can be rescued.

No matter how bold the black shadow outside is, it doesn't dare to kill in the city.

"Bastard! How dare you torture like this! When I get out, you will face endless assassinations in the Blood Killing Palace!"

"It's not just you, it's your family! They will live in fear forever! I want you to know what will happen if you go against the Demon Gate Blood Killing Palace!!"

Through the conversation just now, Feng An has basically confirmed who the black shadow is!

His face showed endless vicious hatred, as a deacon, when had he ever said such humiliation.

The Devil's Way doesn't pay attention to what will cause trouble to the family! Let alone any benevolence, righteousness and morality!

It's just that Feng An's vicious expression only lasted for two breaths, and then it changed suddenly.

"Uh...... My tummy ...... Pills are poisonous...... Ahhhhhhh

Feng An, who had just jumped down, had only taken two steps, and before he had time to be happy, he fell to the ground, holding his abdomen, foaming at the mouth, and convulsing.

Smack!

There was a sound of landing, and apparently the black shadow jumped along with it.

Then the candle was lit by a black shadow, revealing Song Yifei's appearance.

Looking at Feng An, who fell to the ground and was about to lose his breath, Song Yifei sighed and said, "I don't know why, I gave you the poison, and you have to thank me!"

"Despicable...... Yes...... The Demon Gate is not ...... Will let you go...... Waiting for Lin Jiuxiao...... Get you back...... Your family...... All...... Dead ......"

Feng An had a painful and hideous maniac smile on his face, a vicious curse came out of his mouth, and his body curled up together, twitching and trembling.

"It's all dying, there's so much nonsense!"

Song Yifei held the sword in his backhand, pierced it directly into Feng An's mouth, pierced the back of his neck, and stirred it down along with his tongue, making him completely quiet.

"If I don't do it, he'll let me go, as long as he's not afraid of death, then come on!!"

[You enter a secret room, under the candlelight, your eyes are attracted by an old wooden box on the table......]
