Chapter 101: Deception III
It's a lot more comfortable to live in the attic. Jiang Shun is still the one who delivers food to me every day, compared to the cave prison in the punishment table, he comes and goes here more freely, and often breaks in directly without notice, because of the relationship with the Shaobai Daoist, several disciples outside the attic have no way to take him, so they can only turn a blind eye. The large wine vat that was in the prison of the punishment table was also moved by Jiang Shun, but the food he brought every time changed its pattern, most of the game from the mountains that I had never eaten before, and the wild fruits he picked from unknown places, according to him, these foods were all local specialties of the Western Regions, and they were often eaten by the local tribes of the Western Regions.
Ma Qianli and Cai Yueru sometimes come with them. The Seven Great Sects refined the poison antidote this time, and the entire Hedao platform was heavily guarded by the elite children of the Seven Sects, and the children of the other factions were under martial law from the Kunlun Sect, which was under the control of the Kunlun Sect's Huoxin Daoist, Weideng Daoist, Xuan Shendao and Taimen Daoist, and was not allowed to come to the Hedao Platform without special circumstances, but Li Yanzong was originally brought to Kunlun by Youyun Villa and Xuantiemen, responsible for guarding and supervising, Youyun Villa had been excluded by the Seven Great Sects, and the guard Li Yanzong fell on the head of Xuantiemen. After refining the antidote and changing to the head of Tianyi, Master Benkong had the intention to ask the Central Plains to leave the Hedaotai, but they were all rejected by the Central Plains. Xuantiemen has been retired to the rivers and lakes for a long time, but the prestige of the rivers and lakes is still there, and the refining of the antidote to the poison was initiated by Cheng Fuhai and the Central Plains, even if the Youyun Villa has suffered a lot of runs at the moment, but nothing has implicated the Xuantiemen, they can go out of the mountain to help the Seven Great Sects refine the antidote is already very high, even if the master of the sky is no longer willing, but it is reasonable to say, he can only let the people of the Xuantiemen temporarily live in Hedaotai and continue to guard Li Yanzong.
In fact, in my opinion, the current Li Yanzong is no longer of great use, whether it is the alchemy materials or the furnace alchemy, it has been carried out smoothly, and it is purely a burden for him to stay in the alchemy room, but Jiang Shun told me that there are many important links in the middle of refining the poison antidote, and Li Yanzong can still be used. Now all the factions are outside the Hedaotai, since the last time I saw Cheng Fuhai, he hasn't been here, and I don't know what he's doing, every day, I can only learn about the situation outside the attic from their mouths when I drink with Jiang Shun and Ma Qianli.
"On the fifth day of refining medicine, more than 200 people from Youyun Villa such as Shiqi and Yuan Daxia rushed to the Kunlun faction, but because the order of Master Benkong to close the mountain had been issued, they could not go up the mountain, so they could only be stationed at the bottom of the mountain, and now they were together with the Baili disciples. Everything was fine. ”
"On the eleventh day, the Qiankun Dan furnace suddenly had a vision, there was a bad smell from the mouth of the furnace, the stench was stinking, and it permeated the entire Hedaotai, and then Xia Hafu explained that it was caused by the herbaceous impurities in the furnace being forced out. ”
"On the twenty-third day, the Qiankun Dan furnace had another vision, the spout was fluctuating, the fragrance was pleasant, and the heads of the seven factions reunited in the alchemy room. The medicine is divided into three parts. ”
"On the thirty-seventh day, the Qiankun Dan furnace lacked a taste of phoenix eye grass, resulting in a sharp drop in the smell of medicine, Tianyi grew up in a hurry, sent someone to take the phoenix eye grass from the medicine depot and put it into the Dan furnace, due to the timely entry of medicine, the Dan furnace is not a big problem. The medicine is seven points. ”
......
The refining of the antidote to the poison was progressing quite smoothly, and time passed very quickly, and it was the end of March, the spring equinox. The climate of the Western Regions varies greatly, and the Kunlun Mountains are even more towering, although it has been the spring equinox, but there are still many snow-covered peaks here. The Hedaotai was still strictly guarded by the elite disciples of the Seven Great Sects day and night, and as at the beginning, there was no slackness. However, the few Kunlun sect disciples who were guarding outside my attic were a little restless, probably Jiang Shun and I often drank and had fun these days, and they also relaxed their vigilance, and in their spare time, a few people were always talking and laughing outside the door.
There are not a few days left until the end of the alchemy. As time passed, I also began to feel uneasy inexplicably, not knowing what kind of treatment the Heavenly Sky Master would do with me after the poison antidote was refined, and I didn't know how Cheng Fuhai would deal with it at that time. Youyun Villa now has a low status in the righteous path ranks, if Cheng Fuhai wants to stand up for me, I am afraid that he will inevitably tear his face with the Seven Great Sects, and that secret organization, whenever I think of it, I feel a headache. Regarding the fact that Ban Huailing is a person in the secret organization, Cheng Fuhai only told the five of us, and even the Weideng Dao people who have a good relationship with Cheng Fuhai don't know, and when we drink with Jiang Shun, Ma Qianli, and Cai Yueru, we will also mention this matter, which is nothing more than a presumptuous speculation about the person behind Ban Huailing, but I can't think of who it is. However, behind Ban Huailing are several masters of the Seven Great Sects, and the scope has been narrowed down to so many people, which also gives us all embankments.
Cheng Fuhai was able to inform them of this matter without any scruples, thinking that he wanted to use the power of Xuantiemen to find out the hidden person, but I don't know if this time he can find out Yang Caizhen and Zhang Xude as smoothly as last time.
The third day of the fourth month. It has been less than two days since the furnace was opened to pick up the medicine. In the evening of this day, Jiang Shun brought a jar of wine and came to the attic with Ma Qianli. Jiang Shun moved over a while ago the wine vat has already been drunk by us, leaving only an empty wine vat in the corner of the attic, the wine he recently brought over is made locally in the Western Regions, the wine in the Western Regions is not as sweet as the Central Plains, the emphasis is spicy, and the taste is also a little bitter. But it's always the drink, and for me, I don't care if it's bitter or not.
After three rounds of wine, the moon is already in the middle of the day, and it is very late after drinking a jar of wine, because the Qiankun Dan furnace is about to open, and we don't drink a lot, just a little drunk. During this time, I seem to be good at drinking, and I always feel that I can't drink enough, probably because I have nothing to do in such an attic, and the greatest pleasure is only drinking, and sometimes I also feel that the antidote to poison should never be refined, and it is a good thing to be locked up like this, at least no one will disturb me, and I can live a stable life.
After drinking, I sent Jiang Shun and Ma Qianli to the door, and when the two disciples guarding the door saw us, one of them smiled and said, "Senior Jiang, left so early today?"
The person who spoke was called Yu Jianping, and the other person was called Yu Wusheng, the two were brothers, and they were also the two people with the best martial arts among the three generations of disciples of the Kunlun Sect Hedaotai, and it was precisely because of this that the two of them were solely responsible for guarding me this time. At first, they were still quite strict when they were assigned to guard me here, except for a few masters of the Seven Great Sects, anyone who came here had to go through the permission of the two of them, at first when Jiang Shun delivered food for me, the two of them were still very worried, for fear that Jiang Shun would take me away with bad intentions, but after a long time, they also became familiar with Jiang Shun. This is also related to Jiang Shun's character, he was originally a thief, he is used to wandering on the rivers and lakes, and his temperament is also very bold, every time he brings me delicious wild fruits, he has to give Yu Jianping and Yu Wusheng some, although the number is not much, but it also makes the Yu brothers look at each other differently, plus Jiang Shun is the younger brother of Shaobai Daoren, and the relationship between the three of them is also a lot better. But the two brothers are only kind to Jiang Shun, but they don't have such a good face for me, Ma Qianli and Cai Yueru. Hearing Yu Jianping's words, Jiang Shun did not turn a deaf ear, opened his shirt and said with a smile: "It's getting hotter and hotter, I can sleep peacefully when I go back early, and I'll come back tomorrow." ”
Yu Jianping smiled and said, "Senior, you can't bring any more drinks tomorrow, these two days are the day of the furnace, and Master Benkong has issued an order to prohibit the children of all factions from drinking." ”
Master Benkong was afraid that the disciples of the sects would drink alcohol and make a mistake, so he issued this order, Jiang Shun didn't care, just said, "I know." With that, he and Ma Qianli left the attic.
Seeing Jiang Shun leaving, Yu Jianping turned around and glanced at me, his originally kind face immediately turned grim, and he locked the door with his hand, and behind the door, I heard Yu Jianping whisper: "Wusheng, you are watching here, I'll go and make it convenient." ”
Is the refining of the antidote to the poison nearing the end? For a moment, I was still a little relieved, and I walked back to the attic, and I sat down against the wall. It was late at night, and beams of blue moonlight leaked through the cracks in the window, like a cold sword, piercing into the ground beneath the window. It's rare to have a quiet time, but it's so short.
Counting the 100 or so brothers in my dart game, Cheng Fuhai and Ba Zhongyuan want to help me cross this level, and the number of people who can be mobilized is only 400 people, right? Once the antidote to poison is refined, and we tear our faces with the seven major sects, then 400 people is really an insignificant number, and most of those people in my dart game are people with shallow martial arts, how can they be compared to the disciples of the Jianghu sect? I am afraid that the strength will drop a lot. If we really come to that point of rupture, I'm afraid that more people will die. I hope that the Seven Great Sects will not make a move against me to cross the river and tear down the bridge. I closed my eyes and silently pondered in my heart, when the alcohol came, I didn't know that I felt only a wave of sleepiness.
I don't know how long I sat like this, and I was drowsy, when I suddenly heard a soft sound of unlocking. Although the voice was soft, it made my body tighten, and my eyes opened a slit.
The wall I was leaning on was facing the attic door, and almost as soon as my eyelids were raised, the attic door creaked open, and the moonlight poured down from the half-hidden door, only to see a black shadow following and flashing in through the door. It was Yu Jianping who was guarding the door.
What is he going to do?
The thought crossed my mind, but I sat by the wall and didn't move. The two brothers have been guarding me for more than a month and a half, because they were ordered by Master Benkong, during which they have never stepped into the attic for half a step, but what happened today, why did Yu Jianping break in alone? Could it be that they are here to kill me?
As soon as I thought of this, my heart tightened, and my fists couldn't help but clench. Yu Jianping flashed into the attic, immediately closed the door gently, looked around, and then slowly walked towards me. The distance from the wall behind me to the gate of the attic is only four or five zhang, this distance, for Yu Jianping, who has a long sword at his waist, is simply close at hand, once he draws out the long sword and suddenly attacks, luck swings a sword at me, with his martial arts attainments, it is also possible to kill me with a sword. But when I looked at it this way, he didn't mean to draw his sword when he came over, but he walked very lightly.
What the hell is he going to do? When he was still two feet away from me, I couldn't help it anymore, and my body still kept my head down and I just said, "Is there something wrong?"
Yu Jianping must not have expected me to speak suddenly, and when he heard my voice, he stood still, and was silent for a moment, he suddenly chuckled and said, "Gu Dart, it turns out that you haven't slept yet." ”
His voice was a little strange, different from before, and very wooden. I raised my head and glanced at him, and said lightly, "It's so late, what are you doing here?"
Even if he has a sword in his hand, if he wants to disadvantage me, he alone may not be my opponent, and I am afraid that he will come prepared. I thought to myself, and my eyes couldn't help but sweep around the attic, trying to see the outside of the attic, but the attic had long been sealed, and the windows of the surrounding walls were also nailed with thick wooden boards, leaving only a few gaps, and I couldn't see the outside at all.
Yu Jianping paused and said, "Come and talk to Gu Darttou, I don't know if it's convenient for you?"
I sneered in my heart and said, "You have no friendship with me, and you have nothing to talk about, please go back." ”
Yu Jianping stood up straight, and suddenly smiled: "What? Don't you want to take my life?"
What did he mean? I was a little baffled by him, when an unknown insect was chirping softly outside the attic, but the attic was as quiet as death, and the moonlight leaking through the crack in the door shone behind him, and he stood so straight and straight like a stake, lifeless. I frowned and said in a deep voice, "How can I say this? You and I have no grievances, when did I say that I would take your life?"
I don't know why, but the tone of his voice sounded familiar to me, as if I had heard it somewhere.
I was thinking about it, but I saw him shake his head and smile, and said, "It seems that Gu Darttou is not as smart as others say, but Li remembers that when you were in the Chenzhou prison, you wanted to kill me quickly." ”
He said it very casually, but when it fell into my ears, it was undoubtedly a scorching thunder explosion! I shivered all over, stood up suddenly, and shouted, "You are Li Yanzong!"
In the dimness, the moonlight covered his entire face from behind him, making it impossible to see his expression, but at this time, I still didn't understand who he was? No wonder I felt that his tone of voice was so familiar, it turned out that Li Yanzong was playing tricks!
This Yu Jianping in front of him is afraid that he has been cast by Li Yanzong to perform the evil Gu of the Western Regions, the head lowering technique!
I figured this out in my head instantly, and I only felt the cold hairs on my back. Even though I have been exposed to a lot of witchcraft in the Western Regions, I still can't hide the shock in my heart at this moment, and this attic is located in the middle of nowhere, and the fact that it is quiet in the dead of night adds a bit of a strange atmosphere.
However, after learning his true identity, I felt more anger in my heart. Before the words fell, I didn't hesitate at all, my left foot slammed on the ground, and the person was like an arrow off the string, and he was bullied in front of Yu Jianping in a flash.
The distance of two zhang is just a step for me now, Yu Jianping has been performed by Li Yanzong to lower his head, and his current state is not as good as me at all, without waiting for him to react, my right hand has already reached out, grabbed Yu Jianping's neck, and lifted him up.
At such a close distance, I could clearly see Yu Jianping's face, his face was pale and dull, without a trace of blood at all, like the face of a dead man, only a pair of eyes were moving. I said coldly, "It's really you!"
Yu Jianping showed a bitter smile on his face, and said mechanically: "What, Gu Darttou, now you want to kill me again?"
I choked him, and he could still speak, and his face did not turn red because of the lack of blood, but was still pale. But I understand that it was caused by the head-lowering technique, and it was Li Yanzong who spoke behind this face, not Yu Jianping himself. My right hand clenched a little, and sneered: "If it were you, I would have killed myself, and the hundreds of lives of the people of Chenzhou were not in vain." ”
My right hand was so tight, the flesh around his neck made a slight squeezing sound, although his body was tall, half a head taller than mine, but with my current arm strength, it was still easy to lift him with one hand, and I only needed a little more force to break his neck. But even so, there was still no pain on his face, and he just said softly: "If Gu Dart wants to kill, even if he kills, hehe." The vicissitudes of the sea, Fang shows the true character of a hero, and I will not lose if I can die in your hands. ”
I snorted and threatened, "You think I wouldn't dare?"
Saying this, I was a little hesitant in my heart, Li Yanzong performed the head lowering technique, not in person, now if I twist Yu Jianping's neck, I can't kill Li Yanzong at all, but Yu Jianping died.
The head-lowering technique in the Western Regions is weird and difficult to catch, which is really a headache, but if I really want to break Yu Jianping's neck, Li Yanzong will inevitably be hit hard. I remember that day in the Death Swamp, when Tianyi Chang broke Yang Zhixing's head lowering technique on Fan Chunyang's body, the power of Gu Tai's backlash was not ordinarily small, even if I twisted Yu Jianping's neck now and couldn't kill Li Yanzong, at least it would make him not feel better in the alchemy room.
Thinking of these things in his mind, Yu Jianping's eyes stared at me, and he seemed to see my thoughts, and said indifferently: "Gu Darttou, with your current martial arts, it is indeed not difficult to kill me, but Li Mou has never thought of hiding from you, if you want to kill me, I am not afraid." I'm not here for anything else this time, I just want to say thank you to Gu Dart. ”
If he said something else, I wouldn't have bothered to hear it, but when he suddenly said something like that, I was even more baffled. I frowned and said, "What are you talking about, why are you thanking me?"
The corners of Yu Jianping's mouth moved, and he said, "Thank you for standing up that day and driving away the evil people of Yang Zhixing for the Miluo clan." ”
I couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "What does the Miluo tribe have to do with you?"
Yu Jianping paused and said, "Gu Darttou, there are some things that I don't want to deceive you, in fact, the family teacher is the great witch of the Miluo clan, and I am half of the Miluo clan." ”
Li Yanzong is a member of the Miluo tribe? I was stunned and said, "You...... Are you Zabar's apprentice?"
Yu Jianping showed a trace of doubt on his face, and said, "Zabal?" He thought for a while, and suddenly shook his head and smiled: "No, it seems that Gu Daotou doesn't know yet, I am the disciple of the last great witch of the Miluo clan, Zhuoer Zamu, and Zabar is my junior brother." ”
"Don't talk nonsense here!" Before he finished speaking, I had already stopped him with a loud shout, I sneered, looked at him and said: "If Gu Mou has not been to the Miluo tribe, let you say this time, I am afraid that I will believe you again, with your age, Zabal Dawu can be your ancestor, how can you ......"
As soon as I said this, a flash of lightning flashed in my head, and I swallowed the rest of the words hard. Li Yanzong is a ghostly person, and his words are full of falsehood, of course I won't believe him again. It's just, how does he know that I've been to the Miro?
At this time, I only felt two cool breaths from the soles of my feet, which went straight to my whole body. I have been to the Miluo tribe, in addition to He Erniang and Zheng Dongsheng know, there are also Cheng Fuhai and Su Qingyao, but that is what I told them not long ago after the onset of illness in the punishment table, where would Li Yanzong know? Could it be that Cheng Fuhai told Li Yanzong? But this is unlikely. Cheng Fuhai has always been concerned about that secret organization, and he doesn't care much about the Miluo clan that I am talking about, so how could he tell a subordinate prisoner Li Yanzong about a tribe that he doesn't think he cares about? Or is it that Su Qingyao and Han Xiao unintentionally said this matter while chatting, and they happened to be overheard by Li Yanzong?
What the hell is going on! At this point, my mind was a mess, and I couldn't figure it out. I glanced at Yu Jianping and said in a deep voice, "How do you know that I have been to the Namiluo tribe?
I asked urgently, and when I spoke, my right hand added a little more strength, but Yu Jianping still looked so dull, but a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, he looked at me, and said quietly: "Gu Darttou, what I said in the prison in the past did not deceive you, but it was covered up a lot. I am indeed a disciple of Dhorzamu, and Zabar is indeed my junior disciple, and you have seen my essence, and the person in the crystal coffin under the culvert slope is me. ”
"What!"
As if struck by a scorching thunderbolt, it was only then that I was really taken aback, my right hand was loosened, and I pointed at Yu Jianping and said, "You...... You ......"
As soon as my right hand was withdrawn, Yu Jianping's body fell to the ground suddenly, but he still stood upright and did not shake at all. Yu Jianping looked at me with bitterness and sighed: "Gu Darttou, this is all true. Back then, I was victimized by the dark wizard Huoduo, and was raised by him in witchcraft captivity, fed to the bottom of the formation, and wanted to refine me into an evil pet, but fortunately I was rescued by the family master Zhuo Erzamu, so I was spared. It's just that at that time, my body was almost completely refined, but I was no longer human, and I could only live at the bottom of the culvert slope. ”
His voice was a little choked, and some tears welled up from the corners of his dull eyes at this time, but in my eyes, I still couldn't believe it, I only felt a tingling on my scalp, as if countless insects were crawling.
