Chapter 4: Shadowy Vision

In a medicine room in the front yard of the villa, several people at the core of the villa were anxiously staring at the young man on the bed and the old man sitting beside him. The old man looked like he was in his sixties, his body was a little thin, but his cheeks were still rosy. At this moment, the old man was piercing several acupuncture points on the young man's chest and abdomen with a silver needle with one hand, and the sleeve of the other arm hung down emptyly at his side. The old man had been walking for nearly half an hour, and he was already sweating profusely. He shook his head a little tiredly, wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, and looked at the crowd huddled around.

Seeing this, Yun Tianzhi stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Zhongli, how is Lan'er?"

The old man sighed softly, shook his head with some disappointment, and replied: "When he insisted on breaking through the plastic fetal realm before, he had already severely damaged the meridians and viscera because of the pulse disease, and just now he used the Yun family's secret method to break the liver and intestines, and forcibly broke the heart and vein strings out of the body, and the meridians were completely destroyed at this time. ”

Everyone seemed to have become accustomed to the old man's temper, and they were not displeased with his disrespect for the late Jiang. Song Jichen took a deep breath and glanced at Yun Xuelan, who was pierced into a hedgehog, his fists clenched, and he could hear the sound of bones clicking. He asked the old man, "Lan'er has a big pass in his life, can he still cultivate in the future?"

"Cultivation, it is already the limit of the old man's life to be saved, but he can break his wrist with Lord Yama, but the old man doesn't know when this kid will wake up, as for after he wakes up, hmph! Even the body of the mud embryo realm may not be able to be retained!" The old man was obviously quite dissatisfied with Song Jichen's question. Everyone was still about to ask, but the old man glared angrily, walked out of the medicine room angrily, and the moment he stepped out of the threshold, he added: "It's all gone, and the kid who keeps a bunch of waste here can't wake up, leave someone to guard outside the door, and when he wakes up, send someone to tell the old man." ”

Everyone saluted the old man's back with empty sleeves. Song Jichen arranged for two cronies to stay outside the door of the pharmacy, and ordered the courtyard where the pharmacy was located to be equipped with additional guards. And he came with them into the council chamber.

As soon as a few people sat down, Yun Tianzhi couldn't wait to ask: "Rintan, what's going on, why is Lan'er injured like this, father?"

A slender young man, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, stood there. This person's face is cold, his eye sockets are deep, his cheekbones are slightly high, and his expression is even more indifferent. He spoke, his voice cold, as if it were coming from a 10,000-year-old cold pool. The fire in the house also became 1 no longer hot after the man spoke.

"When I arrived with someone, the owner of the village was being besieged by five masters, and one of them was a master of the Imperial Soul Realm. At this time, there was another group of people from opposite us, these people were all dressed in snakeskin soft armor, and the weapons they used were all snake trap staffs, and after they arrived, they directly joined the battle circle, and they actually helped deal with the group of people besieging the owner. I thought they were here to help the owner, but I didn't expect that the remaining few people would actually attack us and the young master. At that time, the five people who protected the young master had all died, and the young master had just experienced a fierce battle and was seriously injured. The opponent's tricks and tactics are very treacherous, and we have suffered casualties in each other's battles. After the fierce battle, only the first of those who besieged the owner of the village were wounded and fled, and the rest were all folded in the hands of those wearing snake armor. And the owner of the village was also seriously injured and taken away by them, and his life and death are unknown. These people did not fight with us after they took the owner of the farm. Because I was worried about the young master's injury, I didn't personally lead people to chase after me. Instead, they sent someone to follow them, leaving marks along the way. A person who went to pursue came back to report that on the way back to the owner, the corpse of the secret guard who had been protected all the way was found. Among them, it also includes the Yang Zhi of the Imperial Soul Realm, where all the corpses were pierced through the back of the heart by a sharp weapon, and the heart was directly shattered in the chest, all of which were killed with one blow. After examination, we found that the wounds of the people were the same as those of the group besieging the owner, and they should have been killed by the snake trap rods of this group of people. And with such cultivation and means, there must be masters above the realm of detachment among that group of people. Even if our people follow, there is no return. And probing the young master's body, it was found that he seemed to have been poisoned before he fought with people, this poison is not fatal, but it is to resolve the cultivation of martial artists, it should be the Huangmei season in Nanliang Soap Well. And the young master used his vitality forcibly after being poisoned, which should have used the power in the vine silk in the meridians, so it stimulated the rattan silk to the meridians. To add insult to injury, the young master actually used a liver and intestine break, and the meridians of his whole body were almost scorched at that time. I used my cold pool to freeze his heart so that it would not be burned. I didn't dare to delay for a moment and came back with the young master to ask Mr. for treatment. ”

Listening to Rin Tan's narration, everyone's expressions became extremely solemn. The owner of the village and the owner of the young village personally led people to travel, not to mention that on the way back, they were attacked at the door of their own house, and the owner was taken away and life and death were uncertain. The young owner was seriously injured and fell unconscious, and the rest of the people of the villa who were secretly walking with him on the surface were all wiped out. What a provocation this is to Yunyin Mountain Villa? What's more, this trip is extremely secretive, and there are only a handful of people in the mountain villa who know the itinerary and return date of the two, but whether it is the soap well or the person with the snake trap staff, the two of them know their itinerary well. The latter even quietly attacked him behind the secret guard, which shows that the plan is meticulous and the meticulousness of the action must have been planned for a long time. At this time, everyone present had an idea in their hearts, there was a ghost in the villa. And it's not just one person.

Obviously, the soap well and the mysterious group of people with snake traps are not all the way. And if these two forces send people to listen to such a core secret of the villa, they must not use ordinary informants to transmit news, but there are spies who are dead soldiers hidden in the villa, and their people have been hidden for a long time, and the depth of the hiding can't help but send chills down everyone's backs. At this moment, I don't know whether the charcoal fire in the furnace in the house is about to burn out, or everyone is too hurried to enter the room and forget to cover the doors and windows, and there is a night wind and autumn rain blowing into the house, and a few people even shiver. Everyone in the audience looked at each other, and they could see vigilance and suspicion in each other's eyes. You must know that the people sitting here are the heads and cores of Yunyin Mountain Villa, and almost all the people who know the itinerary of Yunjin River and Yun Xuelan are also listed. If there is really an inner ghost in the villa, nine times out of ten it is also hidden among everyone.

Song Jichen took the lead in breaking the solemn atmosphere in the room, and he coughed lightly and said: "Presumably, you all have a plan, and the reason for today's situation is the negligence of everyone here who is here. There is an inner ghost that has been lurking around us all for so long, and we don't know it. But now the top priority is to find the whereabouts of the father-in-law first, since the other party has the advantage, instead of killing the father-in-law, he has taken him away. Listening to what Rin Tan said, there was at least one master comparable to the Soul Realm hidden among the other party's visitors, otherwise he would not have killed him with one blow without any resistance from the master of the Imperial Soul Realm. Of course, there must be a sneak attack when people are unprepared, but don't forget, Yang Zhi's predecessor is the third master of the dark cloud guard, and he has secretly protected his father-in-law for many years, and he can be described as an experienced veteran, and when he is doing secret guard protection, he will be alert to anything unusual within thirty miles. And despite this, he still fell, and this is not as simple as being attacked from behind. Rather, it shows that the cultivation of the person who made the other party's shot is far above that of the predecessors."

Seeing everyone nodding, Song Jichen took a sip of tea and continued: "And when the other party has such a master on the side and has an advantage, he let Lan Er go, and he didn't kill his father-in-law directly, which shows that they don't intend to slaughter, but need a father-in-law, a living father-in-law, as for what purpose we don't know, it may be for something on the father-in-law or something that only the father-in-law knows." But no matter what they do, they must need their father-in-law Hu to live, so their father-in-law should not worry about his life in the short term. ”

A middle-aged man with long hair answered: "Although the eldest young master is reasonable, the owner of the dignified Yunyin Mountain Villa, the current prince of Great Xia, was actually injured and abducted at the door of his house. If this thing gets out, it will make our Yunyin Mountain Villa a laughing stock in the eyes of the world. What's more, if the flies and bugs in the rivers and lakes on the border of Nanliang and the Killing Immortal Gorge know that something happened to the owner, and the villa is missing two masters of the Royal Soul Realm, they will definitely sneak into Yunyin City. Therefore, we should now block the news that the owner of the village is in distress, and only claim that when the young owner and the owner went out, the young master's hidden illness recurred, and the owner was in retreat to treat the young master's injuries. And we don't want to send Tengyunwei's people in Zhuang Nei out to investigate, let's let my Liuyunwei go out to investigate secretly. ”

Yunyin Villa has four guards, such as Tengyun, Liuyun, Dark Cloud, and Chasing Cloud. Teng Yunwei is responsible for scouting, intelligence and guard affairs on the surface of the villa, and is also the largest of the four guards; Liuyunwei is responsible for the espionage and transmission of confidential information in the villa, but this is only the spy agency of the Yunyin Villa that is known by all forces on the surface, but it is said that the Yunyin Villa also has a more hidden and powerful spy organization, and those who know its information and the identity of the person at the helm are only a few in the palm of the hand. It is said that the spies of the organization have infiltrated the court of Southern Liang, and the dark cloud guard is the agency responsible for guarding Deadpool in the villa. Not only Yunyin Mountain Villa, but almost all major forces in the world have organizations like this. The people in the organization are all dead soldiers who have been carefully selected and cultivated since childhood by the major forces, and they are usually hidden in the dark, and even the people they protect may not know who they are and where they are hiding. And no matter where the person they want to protect is, as long as their lives are in danger and the guards on the surface can't deal with it, they will definitely appear, even if they are not defeated by the opponent, they must fight for the chance of escape for the person they want to protect with the momentum of moths to the fire. Because they want to protect, in addition to the helmsmen of the major forces, the descendants of the descendants, or the talented geniuses, there are also big people in important positions in the major forces. If the Dark Cloud Guard is a giant shield hidden in the dark to protect the villa, then the cloud chasing guard is the sharp spear that the villa shoots at the enemy. The Cloud Chasing Guards are also composed of dead soldiers, but they are mainly responsible for assassination missions.

Whether in the court or in the rivers and lakes, there are many frictions between the major families and forces, but due to the intricacies of all parties, the intricate relationships and entanglements of interests, and many issues that do not involve the face, life and death of the major power families and the bottom line of interests, everyone will not show an attitude of undying on the bright side, but appease each other with heavy gifts and a harmonious atmosphere. But what kind of powerful family power will really die down, it is nothing more than pushing the cup and changing the lamp on the surface, drinking wine behind the back, greeting each other with a smile on the surface, and sharpening the knife behind the back. Reconciliation is the most win-win way to resolve conflicts between major forces, but death is the only choice for the hearts of the people of this world to eliminate grudges, and assassination is the most effective method.

The long-haired middle-aged man who spoke just now was named Geng Youfang. Don't look at this man's rough face, but he himself is not as honest and upright as he appears and his last name. On the contrary, this person is ruthless and vicious in his heart, and his mind is even deeper, otherwise he would not have been in charge of Liuyunwei of the villa for more than ten years. The eyes and ears of the other forces that fell into his hands in the mountain villa, or the spies who infiltrated Yunyin City from other countries, were all pried open by this person, and before he died, he completely revealed all the information that Geng Youfang wanted to know and didn't want to know. And after he took over Liuyunwei, nine times out of ten, the other forces that were planted in the territory of Yunyin City and in the villa were all removed. Although the current Yunyin Mountain Villa cannot be regarded as a monolith, there are no gaps, but if other forces want to infiltrate spies again, it is not easier than going to the Great Xia Imperial Court to assassinate today. And in the case of him in charge of Liuyunwei, there were ghosts who revealed the itinerary of the owner of the village and the young owner, and when Liuyunwei did not notice any trouble, someone actually ambushed the owner, and his so-called Yunyin Villa became a laughing stock, and he felt that he Geng Youfang and the Liuyun Guards under his rule became a joke of everyone and the celestial people in the villa, and he was even more to blame for today's situation. Of course, no one will really ask him to blame him, after all, according to everyone's analysis and speculation, the inner ghost appeared in the high-level of Yunyin Villa, and this is not something that he Geng Youfang and Liuyunwei can control. Despite this, he still couldn't hang up on his face, and the guilt of self-blame in his heart was indescribable, and he took the initiative to ask Ying to investigate the traces of Yun Jinhe, and he also had the idea of making up for it.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt gently tapped the palm of his left hand with a folding fan closed with his right hand, and agreed: "What King Geng Yan said is reasonable, this matter should not be publicized, so as not to panic in the villa, not to mention, such a big thing happened, it is his responsibility for negligence, it is better to let King Geng Yan track down the whereabouts of the owner." In addition, we must also find out the ghost in the villa, if this person is not eliminated for a day, my villa will not be at peace for a day. ”

Seeing that no one objected, Song Jichen glanced at Yun Tianzhi again, and after confirming the approval in the other party's eyes, he said, "What Uncle Zhu and Uncle Geng said is reasonable. Then there is Lao Gengbo to track down the whereabouts of his father-in-law, and remember to be careful of those who use snake traps. Uncle Zhu, I also want to trouble you to strengthen the protection of Wuyunwei inside and outside the villa, especially Zhi'er and Lan'er. In addition, to look up to the things of the predecessors, please also ask Zhu Bo to mourn you. ”

Then the crowd discussed some details. Just as everyone was about to get up and disperse, someone suddenly said, "The old man knows something about the group of snake catchers. ”
