Chapter 38: Attacking the Heart
"It turned out to be this one. Ji Wuyi's face showed a look of sudden realization, and he said, "It's no wonder." Legend has it that this "Tiangang fragment" is a Buddhist powerhouse, and the "Mountains and Rivers" is complementary to the secret book of martial arts, the abbot of the dust is not only a Buddhist monk, but also the host of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, presumably only in the hands of this person, everyone will be truly convinced. ”
"Definitely. Qin Shuangyue shook her head and said, "What you said is just appearances. Great Qin is different from the Black Sand Kingdom, they do not allow any other sect to gain a foothold, and only practice Buddhism as the state religion, so this Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is not only the leader of the righteous path, but also an important means for the Great Qin Emperor to control the rivers and lakes. It's just that everyone knows it. Now that the abbot of the dust has come in person, those people from the gate sect naturally dare not openly oppose the court, otherwise the emperor will send a large army to encircle and suppress it in anger, and which sect can stop its edge. However, those big sects are not vegetarians, and they dare not come openly, but they still dare to do some black hands secretly. If my reasoning is correct, the real contest will be after the auction. ”
Ji Wuyi nodded and said, "In this way, the owner of this auction is also a member of the imperial court?"
"Not really. Qin Shuangyue smiled and said with a smug face, "Although it is the first time for me to participate in this underground auction, I still know the inside story of it. The force behind this auction is the Infinite Immortal Palace, which is far away from the end of the sky. Speaking of this Wuji Immortal Palace, I have to mention their palace master Gongsun ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly covered his head, a uh-uh sound came out of his throat, his face was in pain, and his mouth tried to open and close to make a faint sound, "Help...... Help me!"
Ji Wuyi was listening carefully to these secrets, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and said hurriedly: "What's wrong with you?"
"Head...... My head...... It hurts!" Qin Shuangyue curled up on the ground in pain, her whole person convulsed, and after just a few breaths, a trace of blood oozed from her mouth and nose.
Ji Wuyi didn't have time to think about it, he turned over his hand and took out a pill and was about to feed him it, when a cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "The old man advises you not to act rashly, otherwise this Heart Devouring Gu will attack faster." ”
"Who?" Ji Wuyi hurriedly looked around, but was horrified to find that there was no half figure at all, and even the other people in the hall were just staring intently at the concubine who was seriously comparing the lots on the stage, and did not notice the unusual appearance here.
"Stop!"
At the same time, Tang Zixi, who was standing facing the wall of the cave, could no longer remain silent, turned his head to look at Jing Weng with a murderous face, and said, "You can't kill him." ”
Jing Weng raised his eyelids and glanced at her, and said coldly: "What's the matter?
Tang Zixi snorted angrily and turned his head to face the wall again, and only after a long time did he whisper: "He can't die now." ”
Jing Weng obviously didn't lose his anger, and he also snorted when he heard this, and said, "Where is the courage to yell at the old man just now?
"You are talking nonsense!" Tang Zixi was ashamed and anxious, got up and walked in front of Jing Weng, glared at him and said with a blushing face, "I just have a lot of things to ask him in my heart, don't worry, if it is really found out that our Tang family was framed by their father and son, I will kill him myself without you doing anything." ”
"Okay!" Jing Weng nodded, flicked a silk thread with his fingers, and ordered a small hole that was exposed, "Send an antidote." After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, and said with deep meaning, "What you asked the old man to do, the old man has already done." ”
Tang Zixi's face was blue and white for a while, and it took a long time before he muttered, "How ...... Thank you!"
Jing Weng snorted and said, "It's pretty much the same." But this is not an example. ”
"Yes!" Tang Zixi had just received a favor from someone else, so naturally it was not good to put on a face again, so he had to bow his head and respond.
Jing Weng looked at the somewhat listless girl, and said solemnly: "You have a heavy responsibility, the first thing you need to do is to kill decisively, and you must not be bound by that senseless emotion." That kid from the Qin family is still of some use, so it's okay for the old man to spare his life for the time being. ”
Tang Zixi looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, the Jing Weng in front of him obviously recognized that she had other thoughts about Qin Shuangyue, and wanted to defend a few words, but for a while, she asked her daughter to talk about it, so she had to hum vaguely.
Who knew that Jing Weng suddenly flashed in his eyes as he spoke, and said murderously: "But that evil seed of the Tang family is not so lucky." ”
Tang Zixi was taken aback by these words, and involuntarily took two steps back, and said with a wary face: "You...... What are you going to do?"
Jing Weng looked at her and frowned, "The old man is talking about Tang Qianzhi's evil seed, what are you retreating?"
"Third brother!" Tang Zixi exclaimed, and then changed his words to Jing Weng's stern gaze, "Jing Weng, what are you going to do to Tang Qianzhi?"
"Don't worry, since I promised you not to kill the people of the Tang family, I will definitely not break my word. Jing Weng pointed to his legs, which were like dry wood, and said, "Tang Mingru has caused the old man to become like this, and it is not too much to charge him a little interest, right? At most, he will break the legs of that evil seed." ”
"No!" Tang Zixi vetoed without hesitation, and said, "Don't say that I don't know if what you said is true or not, even if what you say is true, it was my father who caused you to be so poisoned that your legs were crippled, then the person you should take revenge should be him." Woe to his wife and children, my third brother is innocent, and he is now the only bloodline of the Tang family, I will never let him be harmed. ”
Jing Weng said coldly: "I said that Tang Mingru is just a despicable and shameless villain. His evil seed is naturally also a despicable and shameless villain. Even if he is not now, he will definitely be a despicable and shameless villain in the future. ”
"You're just messing around!" Tang Zixi's chest rose and fell in anger, and he retorted loudly, "No matter how you slander my father, he is the one who gave birth to me and raised me, and he is the one who loves me and loves me." I don't know about the grievances of your previous generation, and I don't want to know, I only know that I, Tang Zixi, must protect my third brother, and absolutely no one will be allowed to hurt him. ”
"Bastard! you know a fart!" Jing Weng was furious and shouted, "If it weren't for Tang Mingru and Li Xiao's embarrassment back then, instigating the second prince and the fourth prince to usurp the throne, the person sitting on that dragon chair now should be your biological father." But you still recognize the thief as your father, a 'father', you are really angry old man, angry old man!" The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he slapped his palm on the boulder on his side, slapping off a large piece of the stone, and the gravel fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
"What did you say?" Tang Zixi didn't bother to care about this terrifying palm, but looked at him blankly, and his already pale face suddenly turned bloody.
Jing Weng regretted it as soon as he said it, now the time is not ripe, telling her this will only hurt her, he is also angry, seeing that Tang Zixi has always recognized the thief as his father, he couldn't hold back for a while. Now seeing her frightened appearance, I suddenly felt extremely guilty, tried my best to make my tone gentle, and said, "You come here!"
Tang Zixi shook his head and retreated, but this grotto was not big and where could she retreat, and it was soon blocked by the stone wall behind her.
"No, it's not. Her lips trembled, her unconsciously grasping the bulging stone like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw, her knuckles turning white from the force she had pushed too hard.
Jing Weng couldn't help but feel extremely distressed when he saw her appearance, but he couldn't take it back when the words came out of his mouth, so he simply said frankly: "What I said is true." Your real surname is Li, and you are the daughter of the former crown prince Li Kuan. You also have a sister and two brothers, but they were killed by Li Xiao and Tang Mingru in the bloody storm fifteen years ago. ”
"You lie!" Tang Zixi finally came back to his senses and said loudly, "My father is Tang Mingru, my mother is Shangguan Xuerou, the eldest brother Tang Qianren, and the second brother Tang Qianli, they were all killed by the emperor, and hundreds of people in Luoyang saw it with their own eyes. Brother Jing also told me that it was Gou Yun who was beheaded. ”
Seeing that she was stubborn, Jing Weng saw that anger appeared in her eyes again, but he still forcibly controlled his tone and said as calmly as possible: "If it weren't for Tang Mingru's greed for your mother's beauty and secretly keeping her by your side, you wouldn't have a chance to be born." Your mother endured humiliation and raised you, so that one day you could personally avenge your father - kill Tang Mingru and kill Li Xiao!"
Tang Zixi couldn't help but shudder, but he still quickly found the loophole and struggled: "Since you said that Li Xiao is so vicious, how can you let my mother go?"
Jing Weng suddenly smiled strangely, his anger gradually calmed down, and a rare gentle look appeared in his eyes, and said, "Your mother is the most unique woman I have ever seen in my life. I still remember that she once said that she was tired of the ugliness behind the high wall, and in the next life she just wanted to be a petrel soaring above the sea, no matter how many wind, rain, thunder and lightning ahead, she would keep flying forward, flying forward freely, even if she finally died of exhaustion in the wind and rain and drowned in the sea, it was better than being a canary in a cage......"
Tang Zixi listened attentively, and he really couldn't imagine that his mother, who had always been gentle, would have such a flexible side.
I only heard Jing Weng continue: "Let me ask what grievances such a woman can't bear, although she has lived a humble life in the Tang family over the years, but watching you grow up day by day, she thinks it's all worth it." ”
Tang Zixi's heart suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but speak: "Although my grandmother has always disliked my mother, my father loves my mother very much, and the Tang Mansion also respects my mother very much, how can I be humble?" Speaking of this, he snorted coldly and said, "You don't have to go to great lengths to make up stories to lie to me, I won't believe you." ”
Jing Weng looked at her sympathetically and said, "I know it's hard for you to accept, but these are all facts. Otherwise, why did you escape this time when the Tang family was beheaded by all the doors? Do you really think that your mother let you escape only because you were willful and didn't want to get married? You are wrong, she actually knew that there would be such a great change, so she took this opportunity to send you away first. She doesn't want you to bury the people of the Tang family. ”
