28. The Lust of Power (1)
(Finally ended the three-day continuous update, I no longer patted my head and promised to add continuous updates, crying, writing until vomiting blood.) )
————————————————————————————————
Two hours later, Yan Lin walked on the road to Xiaozhong Mountain.
The snow was still heavy, and there was a blank sight in front of me. The road is not easy to walk, but Yan Lin walks fast. Dai'an Peak was in chaos, and no one would find out that they had gone to Xiaozhong Mountain, so they did not take a detour from the bottom of the mountain, but went straight to Xiaozhong Mountain.
Unlike the main peak, the steps leading to the summit are uneven stone steps. The stone steps are narrow, and if there is no snow, you can see overgrown weeds. Now there is a thick layer of snow, but it is impossible to figure out how wide the stone steps are.
Fortunately, Yan Lin's cultivation is good, he runs and jumps all the way, and even if he steps on the air, he can save himself, otherwise he will not be able to go up this small mountain at all.
At the end of the stairs was the wooden house where Xi Yun Fukasaku lived, and the wooden house was covered with snow. The twilight was dark, the sky was dark under the heavy snow, and the candlelight was already flickering in the wooden house.
Yan Lin knocked on the door, thinking that Xi Yunshen would not open the door by himself, and what he saw in a while would definitely be Jiao Shuyu, and he was even more apprehensive in his heart. However, he didn't expect that he was facing Xi Yunshen's cold face.
As soon as Xi Yunshen opened the door with an impatient face, the wind and snow began to pour into the house, and there was a young man wearing a Baili Jiuzhai costume sitting in the house. Yan Lin was stunned at the door, and Xi Yunshen shook him a dissatisfied look: "Close the door." ”
Yan Lin hurriedly closed the door and found that the young man sitting in the room had broken his leg.
The boy was short in stature, with a bitter face, and still a little childish. There was gauze wrapped around his legs, and blood was oozing from the gauze. If you have to use one word to describe him, "miserable" is the most appropriate. Yan Lin thought to himself, this young man wearing clothes from Baili Jiuzhai but being able to enter Xi Yunshen's room must have something to do with Jiao Shuyu, so he was not defensive against him in his heart.
Xi Yunshen, who opened the door, didn't want to deal with them at all, so he came to the bed and lay down, with his back to them. It was quiet inside, and you could hear the cold wind howling outside.
There was a charcoal basin in front of the young man, so Yan Lin copied a chair and placed it next to the charcoal basin, and sat face to face with the young man. Yan Lin didn't dare to speak, but fortunately, there was a peer in the house, so he wouldn't be overwhelmed.
He gestured to ask the boy if he could speak. found that the young man was also very restrained, shook his head with a bitter face, and said in lip language that he didn't know.
Someone was going to break the silence, Yan Lin went out and asked the young man, "...... is your surname?"
The young man glanced back at Xi Yunshen, swallowed his saliva, and whispered, "My name is Xuannian, and it was sent by Miss Jiao." She said that she and Yan Gongzi had made an appointment to meet in Xiaozhongshan, but it was too conspicuous for her to come by herself, so she asked me to come. ”
"Oh. Yan Lin seemed a little disappointed. Seeing that Xi Yunshen didn't react, he communicated with Duan Nian normally: "What's wrong with your leg?" Duan Nian said embarrassedly: "I broke my leg when I went up the mountain, and it was Senior Xi who rescued me." ”
"The way up the mountain is a bit difficult, so it's okay. Yan Lin asked, "What is Miss Jiao looking for me?"
"Miss Jiao asked me to ask my son, did Master Yu vomit blood when he took the antidote?"
"Spit up. ”
"Spit up?" Interrupted Nian was a little surprised.
"Yes. Yes...... Wait a minute. He seemed to vomit after a while. ”
Dian Nian recalled Jiao Shuyu's words and said, "Miss Jiao said that the antidote should be spit out of poisonous blood immediately. If not, then Master Yu is not poisoned at all. ”
"What?" Yan Lin was extremely surprised, his eyes widened, of course, his crooked eyes were not much bigger even if they were wide, "Do you mean that Miss Jiao suspects that Master Yu is not poisoned?"
Interrupted Nian asked, "Is Master Yu the first to take the antidote?"
Yan Lin replied, "Yes." ”
Breaking Nian was a little puzzled: "Then why did you vomit blood after a while, was it poisoned or not?"
Yan Lin recalled the scene at that time, and suddenly realized: "He may not really be poison......ed! I'm a younger sister...... The reaction after vomiting blood, maybe his slow half-beat vomiting of blood was actually faked!"
Thinking about it carefully, Yan Lin frowned. The leader of the Central Plains Immortal Alliance, the head of Dai Anfeng, what did he do today?
The two who were discussing suddenly fell silent, and no one could figure out why Yu Junjian was not poisoned.
Yan Lin asked, "Did Miss Jiao say anything else?"
Breaking his head shook his head: "No, just tell you your doubts, and you should be able to figure out what happened." ”
“......”
Yan Lin didn't know whether to be happy or sad. It turned out that Jiao Shuyu looked up to himself so much, but he didn't have any ideas at all. He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's okay if I'm not poisoned, right? I wasn't poisoned, and there was a girl who wasn't poisoned either." Maybe there's something special about Master Yu? Maybe it's because all kinds of poisons don't invade?"
Breaking Nian nodded solemnly: "Makes sense." ”
Then they heard a heavy sigh. The voice came from Xi Yunshen, and Yan Lin and Xuan Nian turned around at the same time.
Xi Yunshen was still lying on his side with his back to them, and whispered in Yan Lin's ear, "Was it snoring just now?"
"Ouch!" At that moment, a pillow smashed over from Xi Yunshen. Yan Lin reacted extremely quickly and ducked backwards. Broken Thoughts were not so lucky, and the jade pillow was smashing the door of Broken Thoughts' brain. The pillow was solid, and it hurt a lot to hit people, and the forehead of the broken thought quickly became red and swollen.
Breaking Nian covered his head with one hand and held the jade pillow with the other, looking at Yan Lin and Xi Yunshen.
Xi Yun said in a deep voice: "Look at the pillow, can there be cracks?"
Broken Nian hurriedly checked, and looked at it for a long time before he dared to say: "Senior, there are no cracks." ”
Xi Yunshen didn't reply: "Then bring it." ”
It was inconvenient to break the broken leg, so Yan Lin took the jade pillow and gently put it beside Xi Yunshen. He knew that this senior had a strange personality, and he didn't dare to come out. He crept back to his place and sat down.
He thought to himself, since Xi Yunshen sighed when he spoke just now, it must have been his mistake. Senior Xi must have come up with something, but he didn't say it directly, and insisted that he Yan Lin guess. From this point of view, Miss Jiao is really an apprentice taught by Xi's predecessors.
Yan Lin first began to think about how everyone was poisoned, and he said: "According to later statistics, almost everyone present was poisoned. Now there are three people who have not been poisoned, me, Yu Qiao'er and Yu Zhangmen. Yu Qiao'er and I were not poisoned, but our mental methods and cultivation were different, so it should not be our personal physique that caused us not to be poisoned. One thing we both have in common is that we were both late for the Dharma Fighting Conference. Could it be that there was something at the Fighting Fa that poisoned everyone, and Yu Qiao'er and I just escaped?"
At this time, Broken Nian suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Miss Jiao also said that Baili Cartilage Powder needs to be taken to be poisoned, and if you just smell it, you won't be poisoned." ”
Yan Lin stared at Xuan Nian, and said in a low voice, "You think about what else she said." ”
Broken Nian hurriedly said: "It's gone, it's gone, I really haven't said anything else." ”
Yan Lin continued to think as he spoke: "Everyone shouldn't be able to eat at the Fighting Law Conference, and Dai Anfeng did not provide snacks, but ...... I've seen a lot of people carrying tea, maybe the poison is in the tea?"
Interrupted: "That is, Master Yu didn't drink tea!"
Yan Lin frowned: "Are you thirsty or do you deliberately not drink?"
"What's the difference?"
Yan Lin said: "If it is deliberate, then it is clear that he actually knows that the tea is poisonous." ”
Broken Nian's eyes rolled from side to side, and he said uncertainly: "Maybe it's not thirsty, how can he know that the tea is poisonous?"
Yan Lin muttered: "Since Miss Jiao is suspicious, then she must know something inside, we have to think in a bad direction." What if Master Yu knows that the tea is poisonous?"
Broken Nian looked confused. Obviously, it was already a little difficult for him to keep up with Yan Lin's train of thought, and when he was suddenly asked, he felt like his head was about to explode. Yan Lin ignored him, and said to himself: "If he knows that the tea is poisonous but lets it go, it is to contribute to the situation that everyone can't use." What's the benefit of having that?"
"You ask me again!" Broken Nian's eyebrows were about to turn into inverted figures.
Yan Lin looked at the faint light of fire in the charcoal basin: "The benefit is finally Baili Jiuzhai." Because of today's scene, Baili Jiuzhai was able to threaten us to sign a three-year truce. Could it be that this three-year truce agreement is also what Yu Junjian wants?" At this time, he was already full of suspicion about Yu Junjian in his heart, so he had unconsciously called him by his name
He looked up at Broken Nian, saw Broken Nian's expression, and immediately said, "I'm not asking you, don't worry, I'm asking myself." Then he muttered: "But why does Yu Junjian also want this truce?"
At this time, they heard the sound of Xi Yunshen getting up, Yan Lin hurriedly stood up, and he barely stood up on one foot with Broken Nian supporting him. Xi Yunshen paced over, his eyes flickering: "You haven't experienced the struggle for power, I'm afraid you won't be able to think of the things behind." ”
