The heavens and the earth are vast, and the mountains are undulating.

At an entrance to the southeast of Kunlun Mountain, there is a lonely town called Dafu Town. In the westernmost part of the town, there is a garden-like mansion, which was recently taken by a group of Jianghu people and bought it for a huge amount of money.

The courtyard is surrounded by green trees and flowers, quiet and elegant, but in the depths of the courtyard there is a faint roar:

"Han Jian Xu Shaofeng dared to slander the dead second brother and seventh brother in public, he must not be spared!"

The name of the person who spoke was Gai Dou, and the people of the rivers and lakes were called righteous gentlemen.

However, what he said may be the truth. I went to check, and the second brother and the seventh brother did have cold sword wounds on their bodies, although they were not fatal, but it can prove that they had a battle with the cold sword. ”

A soft female voice persuaded her, she was Qingyuan Renjun Fang Shuqing. It was the Qingyuan faction who bought this mansion.

In the spacious and bright hall, the famous Qingyuan gentlemen of the rivers and lakes sat in separate seats, listening to the gentleman Bi Zhiyi tell about his experience in Fuzhao Temple. The few people present are the eldest loyal gentleman Zuo Jinlin, the old Sanren gentleman Fang Shuqing, the old Siyi gentleman Gai Dou, the old five-rite gentleman Bi Zhiji, and the old six-wise gentleman Li Xueyuan.

I only heard Gai Dou shouting loudly: "Then for the reputation of the second brother and the seventh brother, he will die even more!"

Bi Zhiji echoed: "Yes, it saves him from talking nonsense everywhere and being seriously injured by the Qingyuan gentlemen." ”

Fang Shuqing said: "This is not good, he is not wrong." Besides, Liu Zhutou didn't say that the second brother and the seventh brother were insane because they inhaled the poisonous gas of the snake. Now that this matter has been explained, we should not dwell on it. ”

Li Xueyuan, a wise gentleman, said: "The third senior sister is right, there is no other door in Kunlun where the cold sword is located, and it cannot be underestimated. I heard that his disciple 'Flame Knife' Ai Li's knife technique is pure, and he is known as the first knife in the rivers and lakes. The second disciple 'Jade Fan Son' Ji Lianyue is famous and popular in the rivers and lakes. Let's just say that Xu Shaofeng, the fourth-ranked 'Cold Sword', is also in the limelight because of the battle with the 'Frost Sky Sword' Wen Haowu Guming Mountain. It's not the best way to provoke them. ”

"Big brother, what do you say?" Seeing that everyone was divided into two factions, Bi Zhiji asked Zuo Jinlin, a loyal gentleman sitting at the top.

Zuo Jinlin opened his mouth and said, "The fifth brother's words haven't been finished yet, have you? Later, what did you see Han Jian and Liu Zhutou say?" As the elder brother, he knew the special skills of this fifth brother.

Bi Zhiji got up and said to everyone: "That Han Jian later invited Liu Zhutou to go to the forest to talk secretly, I couldn't get close, I could only watch from afar. Then I saw him mention the demon pill that turned into a snake. ”

Zuo Jinlin groaned for a moment and said, "The cold sword really should be caught!"

Li Xueyuan's heart moved, and said, "Big brother, shouldn't he want to grab the cold sword and ask about the snake demon pill?"

Gai Dou asked puzzledly, "What demon pill? What do we want that thing for?"

Zuo Jinlin said: "The demon pill is condensed by the demon beast absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and it is said that it cannot be formed for thousands of years, which can be described as the most precious treasure in the world." If you can take this treasure and present it to the royal court, it will be a great merit to you and my brothers. ”

Li Xueyuan's eyes lit up, and he said: "I heard that this year's martial arts conference is led by the prince, if we dedicate the demon pill to the prince, then the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance may be in the bag of you and my brother." ”

Bi Zhiji smiled and said: "So for both public and private, we should all arrest Han Jian." ”

Fang Shuqing said: "I still feel that this matter is inappropriate......

Gai Dou said dissatisfiedly: "The third sister is too kind to a woman, since the eldest brother has said so, let's listen to the eldest brother!"

Zuo Jinlin said: "However, this matter should not be publicized, we must act cautiously, and we must not cause a head-on conflict with Kunlun." ”

"It won't be known to others. Because," Bi Zhiyi smiled mysteriously, "the cold sword has been grabbed by me and locked in a cell in the backyard. ”

"Fifth brother, you can really do it!" Gai Dou happily patted Bi Zhiyi's shoulder.

Li Xueyuan said worriedly: "This place is not far from Kunlun, the fifth brother will be fine if he does this, right?"

Bi Zhiyi said confidently: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." When I arrested him, he was already in a secluded place, and I killed all those who knew about it. When I came back, I covered him so tightly that no one noticed. ”

Zuo Jinlin nodded with satisfaction, "The fifth brother has always been reassuring to do things. ”

Bi Zhiyi looked at Li Xueyuan, "But if you want him to tell the truth, you still need to ask the sixth brother for help." ”

Li Xueyuan glared at him, "What are you and my brother polite?" ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Gai Dou urged: "Let's go and see!"

Several people followed Bi Zhiyi to the backyard. Fang Shuqing hesitated for a moment, then sighed and followed.

In a remote corner of the backyard, there is a small house with no windows on all sides, and no sunlight all day long. Two Qingyuan Sect disciples were standing at the door with swords in their hands, guarding them tightly. Seeing Bi Zhiyi and the others coming, one of the disciples took out the key and opened the door.

In the dark cell, Xu Shaofeng was hung from the beams, his hands and feet were chained by thumb-thick chains.

"Are you Hanjian Xu Shaofeng?" Gai Dou was the first to rush into the cell, grabbed his collar and asked viciously.

Xu Shaofeng was expressionless and silent, only staring at him with cold eyes.

"Let's see if you dare to tarnish the reputation of my second brother and seventh brother!" Gai Dou picked up the leather whip that was placed on the side and whipped it at him.

As soon as the whip fell, there was a deep blood mark. Xu Shaofeng's body trembled slightly, his face was still expressionless, and the sharp light in his eyes suddenly became a little colder.

"Stinky boy, you still dare to stare at me!" Gai Dou was so excited by his eyes that he was furious, whipping one whip after another, and he still didn't stop whipping dozens of whips one after another. It hit Xu Shaofeng so much that his skin was open, and his flesh and blood flew sideways.

"Stop fighting!" Fang Shuqing really couldn't look at it, and snatched the whip.

Li Xueyuan also stepped forward to persuade: "Yes, it's not easy to kill you." We still have to ask him about the Snake Demon Pill. ”

Gai Dou was snatched of the leather whip, and he still felt angry, and punched Xu Shaofeng in the abdomen.

Xu Shaofeng was slapped twice by the Sandstorm Tiger, and he had already suffered serious internal injuries, but now he was whipped by Gai Dou, which was really a combination of internal and external injuries. After receiving Gai Dou's fierce punch, he could no longer hold it back, blood spurted out of his mouth like flying arrows, his eyes turned black, and he hung his head.

Li Xueyuan hurriedly pulled open the lid bucket and stepped forward to check.

"How?" Bi Zhiyi asked urgently.

"It's good that I'm not dead. Li Xueyuan breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and complained about Gai Dou, "Fourth brother, you are too impatient." When I ask for the Snake Demon Pill, it's not too late for you to fight. ”

Gai Dou snorted coldly, "Then you will kill you!"

Li Xueyuan smiled at him, "Don't worry, there will always be a way for you to live." ”

Bi Zhiyi reminded: "This kid has a very stubborn temper, sixth brother, you have to be careful, don't kill him without asking anything." ”

Li Xueyuan said: "Fifth brother, don't worry. The medicine I made, even the iron-beaten man had to confess. Do you still remember Xu Yong, the boss of Wuba Ridge more than ten years ago? He robbed the emperor of the dart silver for disaster relief, and our brothers fought a bloody battle to catch him. But he would rather die than find out the whereabouts of Dart Yin, and in the end, he was not asked by me with medicine. ”

Zuo Jinlin remembered the past and couldn't help sighing: "You and my brother were really beautiful back then. ”

Li Xueyuan smiled: "It's not bad now!"

Bi Zhiyi said gloomily: "It's a pity that the second brother and the seventh brother are gone. ”

Gai Dou said hatefully: "So you must not spare this kid!"

Inside the cell, brotherhood burns. Fang Shuqing felt that his chest was tight, and he quietly retreated alone.

When he was young, seven members of the same family became brothers of the opposite sex because of their temperament, and swore to do the things of a gentleman. Gradually, the seven people broke into the name of the Seven Gentlemen in the rivers and lakes. As they grew older and their experiences increased, the seven became more and more famous. However, in recent years, Fang Shuqing has found that his brothers' personalities have become paranoid for some reason, and their actions have become more and more biased. She tried to persuade her many times, but no one would listen.

Looking at the flower branches in the garden, which had just been trimmed very neatly by the gardener, she let out a long sigh: although the flowers were good, they were no longer in their original state. Brothers, why have you completely forgotten the vows of your youth?

......

In the dim cell, Xu Shaofeng was awakened by a huge pain.

The place where he had been whipped was scorching with pain, and his internal breath was disturbed, like countless small knives cutting through his veins, but none of them could compare to the strange pain in his chest. The pain is like a rough sea, wave after wave, wave after wave, wave after wave. The waves roared in the wind, blowing the wind and waves, wave after wave, so painful that he almost stopped breathing, and had to wake up from suffocation.

Not only that, but the pain is also mixed with an inexplicable emotion, whether it is anger or madness, sadness and despair, life is worse than death!

He snorted, consciousness gradually returning.

When he opened his eyes, a man was standing in front of him, holding a candlestick, and observing him as if he were studying.

Li Xueyuan looked at Xu Shaofeng's frowning brows, and said with a smug smile: "I have a very comfortable medicine to eat, right? Once you take this medicine, no matter how many times you faint, you will be awakened by it." He stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Xu Shaofeng's eyes, "Today is the first attack, the time is short, and the pain is low." Later episodes will give you real enjoyment. ”

With his hands behind his back, he paced slowly through the cell.

"There is only one pillar of incense in the first attack, and there are twelve hours between the next attack. This means that you can have a day to think about it. ”

"The second episode was the time of a meal, six hours apart. ”

"The third attack was half an hour, three hours apart. ”

"No one has ever been able to hold on to the fourth time, it hurts without interruptions, and it's only getting worse. ”

"But," he stopped in front of Xu Shaofeng, hooked his head and said, "As long as you tell me where the Snake Demon Pill is, I will give you the antidote." ”

Xu Shaofeng gritted his teeth and endured the pain and said, "What if I don't say it?"

Li Xueyuan smiled, smiling very easily, "You don't have to say it, but I can tell you about the origin of this medicine." It is said that this medicine was successfully practiced after the Five Poisons Sect Leader Ming Mei was abandoned by her lover 'Crazy Knife' Xin Fuhai, in order to let her loved ones taste the pain she had endured. Therefore, the medicine has a nice name, called 'tears from people'. After Xin Fuhai, a generation of sword saints 'crazy knife', took this medicine, he only persisted until the third attack, and then he scratched his chest and forcibly took out one of his hearts and crushed it. Xu Shaoxia, do you think your will is comparable to that of the 'Crazy Knife' Xin Weihai?"

Xu Shaofeng didn't answer, the pain had made him speechless. He took a deep breath and tried to wrap the pain in his chest with his cold naïve qi. However, the severe internal injuries made it difficult for him to continue his internal breathing, and the cold naïve qi wrapped around his chest was also full of holes.

"You can give it a try. Li Xueyuan noticed his movements and smiled slightly.

He put down the candlestick and lit a pillar of incense beside it.

"Xu Shaoxia, I'll help you order incense again. When the incense burns out, the first episode ends. ”

He walked to the door with grace, turned his head and said, "I forgot to tell you that this incense is called 'Soul Ascending Incense', which can greatly enhance people's sensory potential, especially the feeling of pain. ”

"Please enjoy, Xu Shaoxia. With that, he walked out and gently closed the cell door.

In the dark cell, next to the only candlelight, a red flame flickered faintly.

Xu Shaofeng raised his eyes and stared at the incense deadly, concentrating all his consciousness on the red point of light that shimmered like a star.

As he exhaled heavily, the red light on the incense head moved down little by little, slowly burning from the top to the bottom.

When the red light flickered a few times and finally went out, the strange pain in his chest receded like a low tide.

As soon as his consciousness was relaxed, he lowered his head and thought in a trance: I don't know how Lu Xiaohua is now?
