The autumn wind sent cold, the hazy moon hung in the air, sprinkled with silver frost, and the night was even colder, and a faint cold wind blew quietly, making the guards guarding the mountain gate shiver.

"Where's the wind?"

The guard rubbed his hands together and exhaled, "No, you kid is napping again, aren't you?"

"I always felt that something wasn't right. ”

"Look how nervous you are. ”

Tian Kun had been waiting in Luhua Pavilion for half an hour, and Lu Shiqing didn't seem to be in a hurry to give him the antidote pill, nor did he speak, he just drank tea by himself, his slender fingers picked up the handle of the teapot, and another cup of tea went into the tea bowl, and the tea slowly spread in the air with steam, and the fragrance of tea overflowed.

"Lu... Teacher. Another half an hour passed, and Tian Kun couldn't help but call tentatively.

Lu Shiqing looked at the hippie smile the day before yesterday, there was not even a trace of a smile in his expression, and his tone was a little solemn, "Did your senior brother ask you to come?"

"Yes. Tian Kun replied cautiously, "Senior Brother sent a disciple to ask you for some antidote pills. ”

The teacup brought to his mouth paused for a moment, Lu Shiqing stared at Tian Kun, his expression seemed calm, but the hand rubbing the corner of his clothes revealed his anxious mood at the moment, "Has anyone been poisoned?"

"I don't know. Tian Kun shook his head.

Lu Shiqing was almost laughed at, "How much?"

"The master only said to ask for some, probably a bottle!"

The tea that I had time to swallow in the future almost squirted out, "A bottle?" Lu Shiqing's eyebrows rose slightly, his eyes became deeper, and the teacup in his hand slammed on the table lightly, making a crisp sound, "Does he think this antidote pill is white water?"

Tian Kun grabbed the clothes on both sides awkwardly with both hands, at a loss.

Lu Shiqing laughed helplessly, "But ask a few words routinely, what are you doing so nervous?" After that, he got up and walked to the inner room, rummaging in the medicine pavilion, and then, a lacquer-green vial was held in his hand.

"This bottle of medicine is a cure for all poisons. You can give it to you, but if you take the medicine from me, you must ask for the reason. Otherwise, if something happens, the next one to be hit by the board may be me. ”

It's not that nothing happened before, when Ouyang Tian was in power, there was a little disciple who took the antidote from him, who knew that he was going to harm others with the pharmacology of the drug collision, but fortunately he found it in time, so that it didn't cause a big disaster, and afterwards he was so angry that Ouyang Tian took the wisteria whip and whipped him a hundred times, and sent it to the cold ice cave to think about it for a month. Looking back now, I still have a dull pain all over my body.

After a long silence, Lu Shiqing glanced at Tian Kun with one eye and pursued, "Huh?"

Tian Kun shook, lowered his head to dodge Lu Shiqing's smiling eyes, his ears were hot, and he was stunned, "The disciple really doesn't know." ”

When the atmosphere was awkward, a voice seemed to open a hole and unraveled the siege.

"It's just a bottle of antidote pills, give it to him, why bother him. ”

It was Elder Solemn Hai Yi who spoke, and Lu Shiqing bowed slightly, "Senior Brother." ”

Tian Kun also saluted in a proper manner, "Elder." ”

"What did the senior brother say, I'm not stingy with a bottle of antidote pills, I'm just ......"

Hai Yi's eyes were deep, "Isn't it the whip back then, which scared the junior brother?"

Lu Shiqing smiled embarrassedly, shook his head helplessly, and saw Tian Kun still standing stupidly in a blink of an eye, and said hatefully, "What is the pestle doing here?" ”

"Yes. Tian Kun was pardoned, took the medicine and saluted, and left in a hurry.

"In the future, if the head of the family blames him, the senior brother will have to block it for the younger brother!" Lu Shiqing looked at Tian Kun's distant back and sighed.

In the study room of Yuntian Pavilion, the lights were bright, the candles were 'crackling', and the flames were flickering, shaking people's eyes a little tired. Li Zifeng held the scroll in his hand, leaning lazily against the bookshelf, looking at the antidote pill on the bookcase in a daze.

learned from the guards in charge of guarding the dungeon that Xu Zining entered the dungeon, and accompanied by the guards, he routinely interrogated a few words, and did not do anything excessive, after which Wang Zhuang was poisoned by a thousand years of drunkenness......

A gust of wind swept slightly, and Li Zifeng's eyes caught the figure behind the screen, "Said." ”

"The second son went to Yueqin Garden and stayed for about a stick of incense. ”

"Yueqin Garden?" Li Zifeng frowned, if I remember correctly, Yueqin Garden was the residence of Xu Yiping, a disciple who was abolished by Ouyang Tian in the previous generation. Don't... Li Zifeng came back to his senses, "This matter must not be mentioned to the second person." ”

"Don't worry, your subordinates understand. ”

Li Zifeng waved his hand, and the black shadow gradually disappeared.

When Xu Zining came back, he was taking a look at Li Zifeng, obviously a little flustered, "Senior brother, why are you here?"

Li Zifeng looked Xu Zining, who was dressed in night clothes, up and down, and didn't ask much, just knocked his palms with a scroll casually, "It's okay, I just asked Uncle Lu for some antidote pills to send to you, put your bookcase on the case, and thought about taking them on time." Some poisons are not resolved in time, and I am afraid that they will hurt the lungs. For example, drunk for a thousand years. ”

Xu Zining's heart beat faster, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, "What did senior brother say, I... Don't understand. ”

"Another one I don't understand. Li Zifeng smiled and said, "It's okay, then I'll make it clearer." In order to kill Wang Zhuang quietly, you did not hesitate to risk your life, put the poison pill that had been drunk for thousands of years in your mouth in advance, and put it in Wang Zhuang's bowl of porridge. After that, Wang Zhuang unknowingly fell asleep and died. ”

Xu Zining's breathing was slightly short......

"That's just my guess, you don't have to be so nervous. Li Zifeng's expression was extremely cold, and he took in Xu Zining's evasive gaze, "I won't ask you what you did when you went out in a night suit at night, but I still have to remind you that some things, some places, since they have been sealed, should be put down, and if you continue to investigate, it will only increase your troubles." Like what you did tonight, it's easy for the Dark Guard to take you as an assassin and take you to the Hall of Rings for questioning. ”

Half a cup of tea time passed, and the person in front of Li Zifeng was still silent, and he didn't ask anything anymore, and said lightly, "You are so self-conscious", turned around and left.

Xu Zining took a few steps to block Li Zifeng's way, bent his knees, and knelt heavily on the ground, "Senior brother, stay here." ”

Li Zifeng seemed to be confused, "Oh?

At this moment, he understood that it was futile to hide it any longer, so he exhaled calmly, "Senior brother, Wang Zhuang was indeed killed by me." But believe me, I will never do anything that dishonors my teacher. ”

Li Zifeng sighed heavily, picked up the antidote pill on the bookcase and handed it over, "Take the antidote first." ”

The antidote was down, and Xu Zining suddenly felt that the qi and blood of the retrograde in the past two days had been much smoother.

"Can you tell me why?"

Yuntian Pavilion secret room, a chair, a table and a bookshelf, clean and tidy, airtight, very good sound insulation, this used to be a place for the two brothers to whisper, or after being suppressed by the rules of the sect for too long, no one will know, but now it is ......

Xu Zining said that he wanted to sort out his messy thoughts, so Li Zifeng brought him here, and after the stone gate was closed, with Li Zifeng's sentence of 'kneel', Xu Zining reflexively carried out the order.

Half an hour passed, his knees were already numb, Li Zifeng was tepid, "Are you awake?"

Xu Zining smiled bitterly, he couldn't forget the night of heavy rain eight years ago, in order to protect himself, his father and mother died tragically in the hands of Wang Zhuang, the master of the Lingye Palace, he came back to his senses and wiped the water traces from the corners of his eyes, "Senior brother, if the enemy who killed his father and mother is standing in front of you, do you turn a blind eye, or kill him quickly?"

"What did you say?"

"My father is the apprentice who was expelled from the division by his master in the last generation, Xu Yiping, and my mother was the maid who defected from the Lingye Palace back then, and then changed her name and surname to 'Changzhu', and when she arrived at the sect, she became a disciple by my father's side. After that, it developed as it was written in the playbook, and after a long time, you should have vaguely mentioned the next thing from the master. ”

"Yes. Li Zifeng nodded, he had vaguely heard that Xu Yiping's affair with Changzhu was discovered, and his previous identity was also exposed, how could his master Ouyang Tian allow such a relationship?

"The sect can turn a blind eye and let my father and mother go. Xu Zining continued, "But how could the people of the Lingye Palace easily let go of the defector? After seven years of incognito, Wang Zhuang, the hall master of the Lingye Palace's Foreign Affairs Hall, found our traces. The day before my father and mother were killed, they seemed to have a premonition and told me all this. As for the rest of the matter, you should know everything. ”

"Then how did you meet Master?"

Xu Zining exhaled calmly and continued, "To be honest, this is indeed a coincidence, after the death of my father and mother, I had nowhere to live, only to wander everywhere, at that time I found that someone was secretly inquiring about my whereabouts, I was very scared, so I had to hide in Tibet, mixed in the crowd fleeing the famine, someone asked about me, I only said that my father and mother died of illness, just when I was dying of hunger, I was found by the master and brought back to the inn, and then after my soft and hard grinding, the master finally agreed to take me home, stay by my side and be a disciple of the attendant, but on the mountain gate." Hengshan faction' three words, I suddenly really have the feeling of going home, at least there will be the breath of my father, the master treats me very well, you don't dislike me, teach me to read and practice martial arts. I'm happy. I really want to forget all the haze before and start living a good life again, but Wang Zhuang's appearance once again made me move with murderous intent. ”

Li Zifeng sighed heavily......

"After that, your shadow guards may have found out. ”

"The last question, how did you find the 'drunk millennium' in your hand. ”

"My mother left it, I heard my father say that after my mother defected to Lingye Palace, she deliberately hid this poison on her body and carried it with her, for fear of being humiliated if she was caught. ”

"I see. Li Zifeng let out a long sigh, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Xu Zining still kneeling straight on the ground, thinking of what he had done, and an unspeakable anger appeared in his heart, "Do you know the consequences of doing this?

Xu Zining knelt down and sat down, regretting it in his heart, he secretly killed Wang Zhuang, causing the clue to be interrupted, saying that it was the Hengshan faction's poor management, which caused Wang Zhuang to be killed, and said that it was serious, that is, the Hengshan faction secretly colluded with Lingye Palace! Thinking of this, a sense of guilt filled his heart, he knelt up straight, kneeling two steps, "Senior brother, I committed the matter, you will hand me over tomorrow! I am willing to take all the responsibility!"

"Responsibility?" Li Zifeng looked solemn, "I'm afraid you can't afford it." ”

"Big brother!"

Li Zifeng lowered his eyes and stared at the person in front of him, "I just want to ask you, from now on, can you really let go of everything in the past, live a good life, and never do anything that humiliates the teacher?"

Xu Zining raised his head and looked at Li Zifeng, and solemnly responded, "Yes!"

Li Zifeng opened his lips lightly, "Okay, I believe in you." ”

Xu Zining's eyes were sour, this sentence 'I believe in you' is enough.

Li Zifeng stepped forward and helped the kneeling man up, "Master and the Fa Ring Elder, I'll solve it for you." ”

"Senior brother, you have already been punished with a hundred rods for this. Xu Zining was surprised, "How can I let you again..."

"It doesn't matter. ”
