Chapter Twenty-Four: Rat Forest I
When I walked out of the Wangtian Palace, I was a little depressed, and I looked at the leaders of the various sects passing by me, and I always felt bad in my heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the Wangtian Palace, although there is a long day and Cheng Fuhai to excuse me and prove that I am not a member of the Demon Sect, but the fact that I let go of the Demon Sect He Yanqiu back then is a fact after all, and there is indeed a friendship with Meng Hanyan. The two realms of righteousness and demons are incompatible, even some old things in the past will make the leaders of the various sects in the rivers and lakes ashamed.
"The origin is suspicious, once it is the work of the Demon Sect, I am only afraid that I will be a decent ......"
This is what Ban Huailing, the head of the Qingcheng faction, said, although the leaders of the major heads finally agreed to take the blood from my body to refine the antidote to the poison, but the resistance to me was already obvious. It was getting late outside the Wangtian Palace, and it was already starting to chill a little, so I turned my head and glanced at the majestic huge hall, and followed Cheng Fuhai and them towards the back mountain of the Kunlun faction.
What the Fire Heart Dao and Tianyi said in the Wangtian Temple is nothing more than how to arrange personnel on the periphery of the Shenlong Cave, and on the map that Ziyan brought, the Death Swamp is located in the northwest of Kunlun Mountain, thousands of miles away from the Kunlun Sect. On the map, the Death Swamp covers almost all of the northwest and is surrounded by a handful of towns, with Sand City being an earthen city on the southern edge of the Death Swamp. The Fire Heart Dao and the head of the Heavenly Sect actually didn't say anything, but just discussed some things with the many masters, this time the Seven Gates sent a lot of people, and the words to go to the Death Swamp together were too noisy, in order not to attract the attention of the local tribes and the Demon Sect, many leaders decided to go to the Death Swamp separately, and then converge in several earthen cities on the edge of the Death Swamp. We'll leave tomorrow.
The dinner was held in the back mountain of the Kunlun faction, this time there were a lot of people, the reception hall of the Kunlun faction could not accommodate so many people, except for the leaders of the various sects and high-level leaders entered the reception hall to drink, and the disciples of the sect set up bonfires on various venues in the back mountain. During the banquet, the Huoxin Dao people talked eloquently, and their eloquence was very good, and listening to them, these people with great backgrounds in the rivers and lakes, I also gained a lot of knowledge. But before the feast was halfway through, I got up and left, and I always felt out of place with them when I sat at the same table.
After taking a pot of wine, I came to a secluded place next to the main hall of the Kunlun Sect, and looked up to see a full moon hanging obliquely in the night sky, like a watery moonlight pouring down, dyeing the snow-capped peaks everywhere. Bonfires are lit up on the field below, and the sound of laughter and cheers is continuous, and it is very lively.
This situation is similar to the situation at the foot of the Two Wolves Mountain a year ago, except that compared with our rabble this time, this time it is more formal, and the people who come are the leaders of the various sects on the rivers and lakes. The battle of the Two Wolf Mountain, we and the Demon Sect were defeated, this time the Death Swamp line, I don't know what the end will be, I think this time, even if we fight with the Demon Sect and suffer a loss, it will not be as unbearable as the Two Wolf Mountain.
I took a sip of wine, the wine in the Kunlun pie was strong and spicy, and it was mostly used to warm my body in this cold place. Looking at the bustle of the venue below, at this moment, I suddenly remembered the Iron Sword Sect again, and there was a sour feeling in my nose for no reason.
I thought that this time I would finally be able to make a scene, and I would also show off for the Iron Sword Sect, but I didn't expect it...... I couldn't help but smile bitterly and held back my tears so that I didn't let the tears flow.
Probably this time after refining the antidote to the poison, I'm going back to my dart walking business, right? I don't know how the master is doing now.
I thought silently.
At this time, someone suddenly said behind him: "Gu Xiaoyou, why are you drinking alone here?"
It was Cheng Fuhai's voice. I put away the noodles and turned to look, only to see Cheng Fuhai standing behind me. I hurriedly hugged him and said, "Senior Gu Tian, meet Senior Cheng." ”
Cheng Fuhai looked at me and suddenly smiled: "Gu Xiaoyou, you and I have known each other for a while, so you don't need to be so polite." He walked up to me, looked down at the bustle with his hands behind his back, and said, "Are you bothering yourself with those words?"
I'm a little gloomy. It would be a lie to say no. As early as when I entered the Iron Sword Sect, I knew that there was an iron-like gully between the righteous and the devil, and everyone saw it, which was a sentence that I often heard my master say in the four years I was in the Iron Sword Sect. It's just that I don't understand what kind of hatred between the righteous and demonic realms has reached? I think that I am not at fault for taking risks to rescue He Yanqiu that day, but in the days to come, I will bear the charge of "traitor", and even this will linger if I make up for my mistakes. I said, "Senior Cheng, will the two realms of righteousness and demons continue to oppose each other, and there will never be a day of harmony?"
Cheng Fuhai looked at the eyes below with a bit of confusion, paced two steps, and said: "The good and the evil have been opposed since ancient times, that is because the human heart is doing trouble, the good and the evil do not exist, what exists is the human heart, the heart has good and evil, and the good and the evil are born from this, and it is naturally impossible to coexist." If we can get along in harmony, there won't be so many desperate people in my villa, and once you walk on the rivers and lakes, it will be difficult to get out. ”
I didn't seem to understand what he said, but the last sentence "It's hard to get out of it" went to my heart, and it was because I let He Yanqiu go that I would always bear that notoriety. I'm a little unwilling, but it's a bit against my will to say anything, and it's not an exaggeration to blame me for this situation, but somehow, my heart is always blocked, and I don't vomit or feel unhappy.
Cheng Fuhai put his hand on my shoulder with a smile on his face, and said: "Gu Xiaoyou, the old man knows that you are unhappy, and you don't have to worry about this trivial matter, the most important thing now is to assist the seven major sects to join forces to resist the Demon Sect, compared with the common people in the world, this grievance is nothing." ”
It would be a lie to say that there is no grievance in the heart. But I didn't dare to say it, I just said: "Senior Cheng, you are also a righteous person, do you also think that the people of the Demon Sect are extremely evil?"
Cheng Fuhai patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The old man is not as stubborn as those old antiques, and he doesn't think that the demon sect is full of evil people, but whoever does evil, the old man has to take care of it, whether it is the demon sect or a decent person, hehe." ”
He said that the high-level of the Seven Great Sects were old antiques, and I couldn't help laughing, and I couldn't help but be even more strange, and said: "By the way, Senior Cheng, the younger generation has heard that the other three major mountain villas have trade in the market, what kind of business are you doing in the village?"
I wanted to ask this question for a long time, but I didn't say it because of the situation. Cheng Fuhai laughed and said, "The old man is doing a big deal, and when you are interested in entering my villa, the old man will tell you." ”
I was a little silent, maybe he just said it in passing, but even if he really wanted to invite me to the bank, I might have rejected him.
At this time, Han Xiao ran over from under the stone steps, he was originally running towards the gate of the Kunlun Sect's reception hall, and when he found us here, he immediately turned around and ran towards us. As soon as he arrived in front of us, Han Xiao hugged his fists and said, "Zhuang Master, the master of the sect has arrived at the Kunlun Sect." ”
Cheng Fuhai exhaled a long breath, nodded and said, "It's finally here, the old man is not willing to eat." Gu Xiaoyou, come with me to have a look. ”
"Okay. ”
Although I said yes, I was a little surprised in my heart, which has some origin from what we had discussed before. Originally, it was said that we would pick the Devil's Head Grass, seal it and bring it back to Youyun Villa, and the refining antidote to poison would be in the villa. Could it be that this is also what Cheng Fuhai has already thought about, is he trying to use the Kunlun Sect's Qiankun Dan Furnace to refine the antidote? The Qiankun Dan Furnace is the first Dan furnace of the Kunlun Sect, and I heard Su Qingyao say that the refined pills are rarely inferior, and if the refining of the poison antidote is refined by the Qiankun Dan Furnace, the chance of success will be greatly improved.
We left the lively reception hall and followed Han Xiao towards the south side of the main peak of the Kunlun faction, and after walking for a short time, we came to a dark hall. This hall is very close to the Wangtian Temple, and it can also be reached here from the south side of the Wangtian Temple, compared with the Wangtian Palace, this hall is a bit inconspicuous.
The temple is almost obscured by lush trees on the periphery of the temple. The doorpost was as if it had been watered with blood, and the stone steps at the gate were mostly broken and pitted. The gate of the hall is not high, and it is also made of bluestone, and there is a plaque hanging under the eaves, which reads Idealistic Temple.
We walked into the Hall of Idealism, the hall was dimly lit, and several figures were standing inside. It was the Central Plains and Miao Jisong.
Several people looked weathered and dusty, and they were all wearing thick fur robes. Sitting among them were the three of Li Yanzong. In addition to the people of the Central Plains and Li Yanzong in the main hall, there were other people, Jiang Shun, Shaobai Daoren, Taimen Daoren, Cai Yueru and Guigu and Daming Men were also there.
After I met these people one by one, Cheng Fuhai looked at Li Yanzong and said, "Your Excellency's materials for refining the antidote to the poison, the old man has ordered someone to prepare them properly, and now I will send the ghost head grass to get it, please refine the antidote to the poison on Kunlun Mountain." ”
Li Yanzong's face was even paler than before, although the whole person had skin and flesh, but he couldn't see any blood, and he didn't know what kind of incense powder was smeared on his body, and there was a faint fragrance. I glanced at him coldly, then stopped looking at him, and made up my mind that once the antidote was refined, he would never be left alive. Li Yanzong smiled and said, "I will never forget what you and I agreed on, once the ghost head grass is taken, the contemptible people will abide by the agreement and refine the antidote." He looked at us, shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Cheng Zhuang doesn't have to be so careful, I don't have any martial arts cultivation." ”
I can't help but feel ashamed, compared to martial arts cultivation, it is even more terrifying that he can cultivate worms! Cheng Fuhai stroked his beard and said with a faint smile: "It turns out that this place is a long way to go, and the old man is also afraid that the three of you will go wrong halfway, so be prepared. ”
Shaobai Daoist said: "Master Cheng Zhuang, Master of the Gate, since the people have arrived, then according to the matter discussed by Senior Brother Huoxin and Tianyi Chief, send these three people to my Kunlun Punishment Table." ”
The punishment platform is the place of punishment of the Kunlun faction, and it is the one with the smallest number of disciples among the four Kunlun platforms. After all, the Kunlun faction is not a state prison, and there is no harsh punishment law in the punishment platform, and the punished disciples can practice martial arts in the punishment platform, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, but the time is long and short, as short as one or two years, and as long as thirty or fifty years. It is because the disciples who have made a big mistake in the Kunlun sect basically have to think about it in the punishment platform for half their lives, and they are not allowed to go down the mountain.
"Wait. ”
Who knows, Li Yanzong said at this time: "Li has a few words to say to Gu Darthead. ”
Cheng Fuhai clasped his hands and said, "Say, what's the matter?"
I also looked at him a little strangely, what could I say between me and him, all I was thinking about was how to kill him. Li Yanzong looked at me, his face was pale but with a smile, and said, "I don't know if Gu Daotou will go with Gu Daotou to pick the Devil's Head Grass this time, or will he stay in the Kunlun Sect like Zaixia?"
I was stunned, I was a little confused when he said this, but he said coldly on his face: "Since I am going with the Seven Great Sects, I still need to ask!"
He shook his head and smiled: "The Death Swamp is extremely dangerous, the blood on your body is the only main flavor for refining the antidote to the poison, in case of death, how to refine the antidote to the poison?"
I seemed to be choked up, I didn't know how to answer him, I never thought about this question, I looked at Cheng Fuhai, and saw him smile and said: "You don't need to worry about this, the old man has his own arrangements, please." ”
Li Yanzong said with a smile: "I hope so, otherwise the poison on my senior brother will not be cured." After speaking, the three of them followed behind Jiang Shun, Miao Jisong and Taimen Daoren, and walked towards the outside of the Idealism Palace.
As soon as a few people left, Xin Huailiang said loudly: "Stop the door master, what this person said is all reasonable, if Gu Shaoxia has any worries about his life, I am afraid that the matter of refining the antidote to the poison will be in vain." ”
He waved his hand, turned his head to look at Cheng Fuhai, and said, "Have you ever talked about this matter with the Fire Heart Dao people?"
Cheng Fuhai nodded and said, "When I first came to the Kunlun Sect, I had already told Huoxin about this, and they all meant the same thing, let Gu Xiaoyou stay in the Kunlun Sect to avoid accidents." ”
"You turned them down?"
Cheng Fuhai said slowly: "Not bad." This time, the Seven Great Sects went to the Land of Death Swamp together, and when the Kunlun Sect was empty, Gu Xiaoyou would only be more dangerous if he stayed here. Sect Master, do you know that Pang Youren has led the people of the Blue Dragon Altar to this place?"
Ba Zhongyuan sat down on a chair and said, "Pang Youren, I'm not worried, even if Fang Jingwen comes, I'm not afraid." I'm worried about that person, and that person has already reached the Kunlun Sect Mountain Gate. ”
Cheng Fuhai frowned and said, "He was injured by your three ghost blood and fire palms, can he still follow all the way?"
Ba Zhongyuan smiled bitterly: "This is exactly what I am worried about, this person is good at martial arts, after you left the Youyun Villa, this person also came to the villa to find trouble." He paused, turned his head to look at me, and said, "It's for me, and it's for Gu Xiaoyou." ”
I woke up like a dream, and the figure of the armless man I met outside the Eight Immortals Tower came to my mind, and it turned out that he had also followed. His martial arts are indeed very powerful, but he can compete with the Central Plains without arms, if he has sound limbs, whether the Central Plains can defeat him is two things. But I'm still a little puzzled, since he is the enemy of the Central Plains, why did he find me? Or did he come for my blood in the first place?
I just feel that my head is a little heavy, and my mind is in chaos, now all the forces have come to the Western Regions, all for the Divine Dragon Cave, but many of them are coming for the antidote to the poison, and even the blood on my body. Cheng Fuhai said that once you walk on the road of rivers and lakes, don't think about retreating.
Probably, the rivers and lakes he said are composed of these inextricable personnel relationships, and once you go on it, it is indeed a headache for entangled. And I'm already on this road. (To be continued.) )
