Chapter 158: Fighting by the River (1)
The woman in red had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, quietly looking at the warm picture between her junior sister Shen Ning'er and her younger brother Shen Yueyue.
After a moment, she sighed slightly, a hint of melancholy on her face.
"Senior sister, for us, love is too luxurious. Maybe only in the next life can we have a relationship of our own. ”
Hearing this, the look of shame on Shen Ning'er's pretty face gradually faded, and she regained her composure, and said, "Senior sister, I know. ”
The woman in red said leisurely: "Senior sister, our fate has actually been decided a long time ago, and the moment we joined the Seven Holy Gates, it has already been decided. ”
Speaking of this, the corners of her mouth showed a slight hint of sarcasm: "In the Seven Holy Gates, we have completely lost our freedom. There is no time for yourself, so you can only obey your orders. No matter how difficult the task is commanded from above, we must do our best to complete it, even if it costs us our lives. We're just slaves to the walking dead!"
Shen Ning'er said: "Senior sister......
The woman in red continued, "This is the price of joining the Seven Holy Gates, once you join, you can't help yourself. When we joined back then, we were planted with a ruthless Gu. This kind of strange method cannot be eliminated at all. We can't have love because of this thing. As long as you are emotional, your heart will be like a knife, and you will not want to live. If the emotion is deep, it is like ten thousand ants devouring the heart, life is better than death!"
"Senior sister, is this ruthless Gu really unsolvable?" Shen Ning'er couldn't help but ask, "You said that on the rivers and lakes, the calming doctor who is said to have extraordinary Chinese medicine skills and wonderful hands to rejuvenate can lift this ruthless Gu?"
"No, you can't. The woman in red shook her head and said, "Actually, ten years ago, there was a senior sister in the door who went to the doctor to help. Although Doctor An Shen forced out most of the ruthless Gu, in the end, there were still some Gu worms that remained in the body forever and could not be taken out. ”
"What's even more desperate is that a strange substance secreted by the Desperate Gu has completely merged with our body. We can't be emotional, in fact, it's that weird substance at work. ”
"Senior sister, how do you know so clearly?" asked Shen Ning'er.
The woman in red said: "Because this news was actually deliberately revealed by the people above." The people above want us to know that even the Divine Doctor can't solve the Desperate Gu in our body. When they released this news, they wanted us to give up the struggle completely. ”
"Alas. Shen Ning'er couldn't help but sigh.
The woman in red paused, and then said, "Senior sister, you still have two years left, and after two years, you will also be recalled to the Seven Holy Gates." You must cherish the remaining two years. ”
"Two years...... Shen Ning'er's eyes flashed a trace of confusion.
Then, both of them fell silent for a moment.
After Ning Xiaotang left the gate of Jingzhou City, he walked in the direction of the river, because the other party seemed to be in that direction. He didn't bother to wait for the other party to find it, so he went directly to the door.
When he was about to reach the riverside, Ning Xiaotang looked around and saw three figures standing on the riverbank.
When they saw Ning Xiaotang, they seemed to be quite surprised, but they didn't expect Ning Xiaotang to take the initiative to find it.
The three figures wore a hat on their heads, a robe, and a long sword hanging from their waists.
Two of them each wore an iron mask, while the other wore a silver mask.
And on the river behind them, twenty or thirty boats, large and small, were sailing into the distance.
Many of these ships have just left the dock of Jingzhou City.
One of the two-masted medium-sized boats, carrying more than 20 figures, was heading towards the river to the west in the face of the river breeze.
There were men, women, and children on the ship, all wearing swords around their waists, and they were obviously a group of martial arts people.
These martial arts people seemed to belong to two different sects, and there were nearly ten women among them, wearing uniform moon-white dresses. The rest of the people were all dressed in cyan robes.
These people are actually from the top martial arts sect of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Those women were disciples of the local Water Moon Sect in Jingzhou. And those who wore cyan robes were the disciples of the Qingxuan faction in Zhongzhou.
The people of the two factions met in Jingzhou City, and after learning that they were going to Changsha County, they traveled together.
This time, the leaders of both sides are all highly respected elders in this gate.
The leader of the Water Moon Sect is an old woman surnamed Tong, who is the senior sister of the current head of the Water Moon Sect.
The person who led the Qingxuan faction was an old man surnamed Feng in his fifties, who was the junior brother of the head of the Qingxuan faction.
The two of them have a respected status in their respective sects, and their martial arts are extremely strong, and they are great masters in the later stage of the Tongmai Realm.
The trip was led by two people, which shows the importance that the high-level leaders of the two factions attach to the purpose of this time.
Both factions ostensibly claimed that they were going to attend the 50th birthday celebration of the king of Changsha.
But in terms of the incident, the two leading elders knew very well in their hearts that they were actually going to the front station. The purpose of their trip this time was to find the ruins of the ancient sect.
In order to confuse the outside world, both factions brought some young disciples with them.
At this moment, six young disciples of the two sects were leaning on the bow of the boat, chatting while enjoying the scenery by the river.
One of the female disciples of the Water Moon Sect suddenly said, "Look, those three people on the riverbank are dressed strangely?"
Another male disciple of the Qingxuan Sect also spoke: "It's really a little strange, it's not raining now, and they are still wearing hats and robes?"
"You see, they're still wearing masks on their faces. ”
"Wearing masks? Those three can't be Jiangyang thieves, right? Why else do you want to cover your face?"
Several young disciples were chatting energetically, when their leader also walked over.
One of the female disciples said, "Elder Tong, take a look, those three people on the riverbank are so strange. ”
The old woman surnamed Tong immediately looked towards the riverbank. After seeing the clothes of the three people, she seemed to remember something, and her face couldn't help but change.
And after seeing the masks on the faces of the three people clearly, the old woman's face became a little difficult to look at.
"It's them, Black Rose!" she said in a harsh voice.
Immediately, she glanced at the old man in his fifties next to her, and said solemnly: "Elder Feng, take a look at those three people, are they the killers of Black Rose?
The old man surnamed Feng hurriedly looked towards the riverbank, and when he saw the dress of the three of them clearly, especially after seeing one of them wearing a silver mask on his face, his face couldn't help but change, and he said nervously: "It's really Black Rose, the one wearing a silver mask seems to be the legendary silver-faced killer! Quick, notify the boatman! Let the boat stay away from the riverbank." ”
Soon, the ship began to get farther and farther away from the shore, and the old woman surnamed Feng and the old woman surnamed Tong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this.
Immediately after, both of them stared at the three figures on the river bank for a moment.
Black Rose's silver-faced killer, that is a terrifying existence that can assassinate the head of the martial arts faction. What are you doing on the bank of the river?
The two couldn't help but have this question in their hearts.
