Chapter 7: The Death of the Master
In the kitchen of the twilight autumn faction, Bai Wei sat in front of the crockpot to cook the soup for the master, sleepiness hit, Bai Wei was afraid that the soup would be boiled for too long, and it would lose its effect, Bai Wei took out the dagger in her arms, the white light flashed, and a trickle of blood flowed out of the wrist, Bai Wei used a little force, quickly tore off a corner of the shirt skirt, and bandaged it neatly, the pain in the wrist made Bai Wei extremely sober, she was alone in the dim kitchen, without the help of her sister, so helpless.
The boiling heat was just right, and it happened that the senior sister nightshade came to the kitchen to look for food, and the nightshade entered and saw the little sister boiling the soup. Concerned and said, "Little junior sister, are you feeling unwell?" Do you want to boil this extremely bitter decoction at night?"
Bai Wei rubbed her sore eyes, stood up suddenly, pursed her lips and smiled: "Bai Wei doesn't have any discomfort, Senior Sister Lao is worried, this decoction is boiled for the master, Bai Wei saw that the master has been restless recently, so she found a recipe to replenish the master's mind." ”
Nightshade covered her chest, and with a wave of her jade fingers, she gently touched the tip of Bai Wei's nose.
"You naughty little girl, senior sister mistakenly thinks that you are unwell, and you are so scared that your heart and liver are in pain. ”
Bai Wei turned around and made a gesture to pick up the crockpot containing the decoction, but because the crockpot was too hot, she hurriedly placed it on the stove.
Nightshade took a step forward, pointed at Bai Wei's forehead and said, "Little girl, you go to the room to find a handkerchief, senior sister here will help you take care of it, you go and come back quickly." ”
Bai Wei didn't hesitate, blinked her eyes and said, "Then there is Senior Sister Lao, I'll go back quickly." ”
Bai Wei was afraid that she would delay the master's time to take the medicine, so she hurried to the room.
In this dark night, everything that nightshade does is because of greed.
Bai Wei trotted back to the kitchen, and sure enough, she saw that her senior sister was really guarding the crockpot.
Bai Wei stepped forward and hugged Nightshade's arm tightly. Jiao said shyly: "Only Senior Sister is really good to Bai Wei, with Senior Sister Lao, Master's medicine should not be delayed for too long, Bai Wei will send it to Master, and Master can also rest for a good time." ”
Nightshade deliberately pushed Bai Wei's arm away, snatched the embroidered scarf in Bai Wei's hand, and wrapped it around the edge of the crockpot. Xiuyan glanced and said, "Hurry up and send medicine to Master, Senior Sister I'm also sleepy, so I'll go back to the room to rest." ”
Bai Wei picked up the crockpot on the stove and said, "There is Senior Sister Lao." ”
As soon as he turned around, he left the kitchen and walked to the meditation room step by step.
Nightshade was still standing in the kitchen, silently rubbing the paper balls in her palms, and a trace of sadness and uneasiness came to her heart.
Bai Wei said softly outside the meditation room: "Master, disciple Bai Wei, come to deliver medicine to Master." ”
In the meditation room, there was the sound of the vicissitudes of autumn on the leaves.
"Come in. ”
Bai Wei tiptoed into the meditation room with a clay pot, and saw the master wearing a glazed blue cloak, sitting peacefully on the futon, meditating with his eyes closed.
Bai Wei placed the clay pot on the candlestick in front of the master, and carefully poured the decoction into the blue and white porcelain bowl.
Bai Wei said cautiously: "Master, the disciple is waiting for you to drink the medicine, this decoction is just warm, be careful to hurt your body." ”
Ye Shangqiu stretched out a hand and put the porcelain bowl in Bai Wei's hand in the palm of his hand. Ye Shangqiu said with satisfaction: "With a caring disciple like you, it must be a blessing from the master's cultivation, you can accept this master's ring, if there is an accident for the teacher tomorrow, the Twilight Autumn faction can also have a successor." ”
Bai Wei wiped away the tears falling from her cheeks again and again, and knelt squarely in front of her master. She took the master's ring and hid it in her arms. Bai Weiden felt that there was still the warmth on the master's ring on his chest, and he instantly understood the master's good intentions.
Bai Wei said categorically: "Master is a blessed person, he will return victorious tomorrow, disciples must not do without Master, and the Twilight Autumn Sect also needs Master to carry it forward." ”
Ye Shangqiu raised his head and drank the decoction in the porcelain bowl, and then gently stroked Bai Wei's forehead.
"Even if you have the ability to reach the heavens as a teacher, you can't survive for a hundred years! ”
Bai Wei said in a trembling voice: "Please rest assured, Master, the disciple will definitely carry forward the Twilight Autumn Sect." ”
Ye Shangqiu wrapped the cloak on his body tightly, looking at the flickering candle flame and was slightly distracted.
"It's time for the teacher to rest, you can step down. Tomorrow, we will visit Shiso Villa with our teacher. ”
Bai Wei propped her hands on the ground and stood up weakly, but unexpectedly, the scar on Fang Cai's wrist was revealed, and the bandaged cloth strip oozed blood.
Ye Shangqiu grabbed Bai Wei's arm and said with concern: "This scar?"
Bai Wei quickly withdrew her arm, and the sleeve of her shirt happened to cover the scar. Bai Wei had dodging in her eyes, she didn't want her master to bother, so she said nonsense: "I was injured unintentionally while practicing." ”
Bai Wei was afraid that the master would ask again, so she ran out of the meditation room as if she had escaped.
The stars are moving, and the night is slightly clear. In the morning light of the second day, the female disciples of the Twilight Autumn Sect were already ready to go, just waiting for the master's order.
The hour has passed, and the female disciples are really strange, on weekdays, before the master retreats, he will definitely ask the disciples to say and do, but today's visit to the Zisu Villa, the master will not forget, besides, the master does not plan to retreat and practice.
The disciples came to the Master's meditation room together, and the disciples looked at each other, and the Master's temperament and temperament, they couldn't be clearer, and they were afraid that the Master would blame them for disturbing them like this. ”
Long Kui took a step forward, pushed aside the junior sisters, and walked straight to the door of the meditation room, knocking on the door with his fingers unhurriedly. Nightshade put her ear close to the door of the meditation room. Said eagerly: "Master, the time has passed, and we will set off for the ...... of Shisu Villa." Before he finished speaking, one foot stepped into the air, and the whole person fell into the meditation room.
The disciples stepped forward to support the nightshade, but when they saw the nightshade crying, they pointed to the side and said in a trembling voice: "Master, master, master, master." ”
The disciples looked to the side and saw that the corners of the master's mouth were still trickling with dark black blood, lying quietly on the cold ground, and the disciples knelt down and prostrate close to the master.
Bai Wei rushed forward first, the master's eyes widened angrily, and when he had been dead for a long time, Bai Wei fell beside the master.
"Master, why is Master lying on the ground? Master, I'm Bai Wei, you open your eyes and look at the disciple, Master was fine last night, Master!"
Bai Wei cried bitterly, slammed her fists into her chest, and Bai Wei sat slumped aside, watching the senior sisters gather around the master.
Nightshade tapped the blood on the side of Master's mouth with her fingers and sniffed it on her nose. She said with a gloomy expression: "Senior sisters, the master died of poisoning, who came to the meditation room last night, and who brought the decoction to the master." ”
The disciples were puzzled and looked at each other, each with a desperate fear in their eyes.
The disciples knelt down and said one after another: "The disciples have never been to the meditation room, and they have never sent a decoction to the master, is it that the Zisu Villa secretly poisoned the master?"
Long Kui took the blue and white porcelain bowl in his hand, pointed to the clay pot containing the decoction, removed his silver bracelet and put it in the clay pot, and the disciples stepped forward to check, and the silver bracelet turned black and dark.
Bai Wei pushed away the senior sisters, seeing that the silver bracelet changed color, tears fell, she held the crockpot in the palm of her hand, she already knew the cause of the master's death, and she also knew where the murderer was.
Nightshade jumped out and shouted angrily: "Bai Wei, it was you who sent the decoction to the meditation room last night, it was you, you who poisoned the master, I went to the kitchen last night to look for food, and saw that you used this crockpot to cook the decoction for the master, and sent it into the meditation room, saying, what are your intentions, why do you want to kill the master?"
Bai Wei stepped back step by step, and the hot tears that rolled down flowed into the black crockpot, causing ripples.
Bai Wei held the crockpot in front of her chest, and threw the crockpot to the ground without saying a word. The crockpot fell apart, and the jet-black potion sprinkled on Bai Wei's long skirt. Bai Wei choked and said: "Why do you suspect that I killed the master, Bai Wei boiled the decoction for the master last night is true, and it is also true that the decoction was sent to the meditation room, you can't conclude that it was Bai Wei who killed the master because of the words of the senior sister, the master treats Bai Wei like a close relative, Bai Wei has no reason to kill the master! The master must have been harmed by others, and the death of the master has nothing to do with Bai Wei." ”
Long Kui raised his head and sneered: "Bai Wei, you rebel, dare to kill the master, this decoction is the reason why you killed the master, are you afraid that the master will be in the way of the eyes and disturb the reason why you eloped with a little white face, yes or no?"
Bai Wei slowly retreated, and unfortunately bumped into the candlestick behind her, and the candlestick had disappeared, leaving the candlestick standing alone. Bai Wei's body was shocked, and the ring of the head of the door in her arms fell to the ground crisply, Bai Wei was stunned, and immediately bent down to pick it up, but unfortunately she was seen by the nightshade, and stepped on the ring of the head of the door first. Nightshade was overjoyed in her heart, and her other foot trampled Bai Wei's slender jade hand under her feet.
Seeing Bai Wei's pitiful appearance, Nightshade suddenly added a trace of anger in her heart. Nightshade gritted her teeth and said: "Bai Wei, the ring of the head of the door is the reason why you killed the master, you covet the position of the master, so you poisoned the decoction, and quietly killed the master, do you think that if you hide from the sky and the sea, you will have your wish come true? You must have taken advantage of the master's poison to remove the ring on the master's fingers, you are not qualified to take the position of the head at all, the ring is in whose hands, who is the head, now the ring of the head is at the feet of my nightshade, my nightshade is the head, this is the will of God." ”
Bai Wei stepped forward with one hand, the white light flashed in her sleeve, and the dagger was straight towards the nightshade, the nightshade leaned away, the toes pointed slightly to the ground, and the palm ring avoided the back with the power of the palm edge, the ring was accompanied by the ground friction force, and fell behind him impartially, and the nightshade quickly stepped back and bent down to pick up the palm ring.
Bai Wei pounced, Nightshade blocked the futon in front of him, and Bai Wei's dagger fell, steadily stabbing at Nightshade's heart. Nightshade jumped out, Bai Wei held a dagger in the middle of the edge of the futon, the cotton wool in the futon turned out, the ring of the head of the nightshade in his hand, let Bai Wei follow step by step, the nightshade is still confident.
Bai Wei had a wrist injury, and slowly lost the strength of her palm, Long Kui took advantage of the victory to pursue, and immediately turned around and kicked heavily at Bai Wei's legs. Bai Wei's legs are weak and her palms are weak
There was no half strength, the dagger sank with the body, fell heavily to the ground, and the long hair was draped down, helpless, and sad gathered in his heart.
Bai Wei raised her head and laughed wildly: "Nightshade, I never thought that you were such a deceitful and ancestor destroyer, the master has just passed away, you are so impatient to compete for the position of the head, you and I know the cause of Master's death best, Nightshade, all cause and effect, there is retribution, aren't you afraid?"
Nightshade put the head ring firmly on his hand, and his lips couldn't wait to kiss the "hard-won" ring. Nightshade was overjoyed and said: "Bai Wei, you are the defeated subordinate of my Nightshade, you won't be unaware of the rules of the Dusk Autumn Sect, whoever wears the ring of the head is wearing it, who is the leader." ”
Bai Wei remembered that her master was still lying on the cold ground, and wanted to stand up and rush over, but was stopped by a shout from Nightshade.
Long Kui stood in front of the master's corpse, pointed at the disciples and shouted: "Come on, arrest this rebel to the head of this sect, and don't allow her to get close to the master for half a step." ”
The disciples didn't dare to disobey, the rules of the Twilight Autumn Sect, those who violated the order were not allowed to die. The disciples stepped forward to grab Bai Wei, no matter how Bai Wei struggled and begged for mercy, it was to no avail. Bai Wei has a sallow face, not half bloody, where is it still as beautiful as in the past.
Bai Wei watched her master lying there alone, the farthest distance in the world was nothing more than being close at hand, but Yin and Yang were separated.
Long Kui said proudly: "Bai Wei, Bai Wei, if you call me the master, I will spare your life, but the huge Twilight Autumn Sect can't tolerate you, the disciples listen to the order, and drive out this twilight faction traitor to me, from now on, you Bai Wei has nothing to do with my Twilight Autumn faction." ”
