Chapter 65: The Secret of the Waterhole I

The shadow-chasing sword was unsheathed, and the groan resounded in this echo cave for a long time. He Erniang lowered her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Yes, the hall master has an order first, I dare not disobey, I did have the idea of killing you just now." ”

Hearing her say it with my own ears is undoubtedly equivalent to slapping myself in the face, I really didn't expect that I stepped forward to save the lives of her and the man surnamed Lu, and what I got was such a result.

If He Erniang had been smearing the five-flavor pulp for me just now, and I was not ready to throw a chelation needle at me, I am afraid that the consequences would be ......

I didn't dare to think about it any further, some cold sweat was oozing from my back, and I took a step forward suddenly, and the shadow chasing sword was across her neck, and there was a burst of killing intent in my heart.

The shadow chasing sword blew off her hair, although it was only resting on her neck, and it also pressed a blood mark out of her neck, He Erniang's face turned pale, and she said a little scary: "Gu Shaoxia, if you want to kill me, I, He Qinghua, will never resist, my sex was originally saved by you, and it is reasonable for you to take it back now." It's just that I don't want to hide anything from Gu Shaoxia anymore, what I say is from the bottom of my heart. ”

Her words were extremely calm, even though my shadow-chasing sword was resting on her neck, her hand seemed to be held up by a thousand pounds of weight, and she couldn't cut it. Counting the previous time under the tree, she could have had two chances to kill me, but she never did. She's doing this now, probably to remind me of where I'm going.

I relieved my nerves and said, "Fang Wenwen really gave a death order and wanted to put me to death?"

He Erniang nodded and said, "Gu Shaoxia, when you fell to the bottom of the cliff that day but didn't see your body, the hall master knew that you weren't dead." He told me when I searched for you that it would be better if I could bring you back alive, that the blood would be fresh, and that if you were already dead, it would be fine to bring back the dead body. The Lord of the Sheep Altar said that the reason why the hall master did this was because he was afraid that you would return to the Seven Great Sects and let the people of the Seven Great Sects take the lead and refine the antidote to the poison in advance. ”

Is this the meaning of the verse? I couldn't help but feel a pang in my body at this time. Perhaps, most of it was the idea of the sun in his ears. Otherwise, when Fang Wenwen came out of the death swamp, he just wanted to invite me to their Immortal Hall, even if he had no intention of pushing me off the cliff with one palm at that time, he had no intention of killing me, how could he suddenly change his mind and want to kill me later? If he didn't let me return to the Seven Great Sects, it meant that Fang Wenwen was now determined to arrest me back to the Immortal Hall.

I sneered: "So what, Fang Wenwen wants to kill me for blood, can he kill it!"

He Erniang sighed and said, "The sky-high fire of my Immortal Hall has already been issued, and it will inevitably attract other disciples of the Immortal Hall in the nearby area, and the Lord of the Sheep Altar will also hear the sound, maybe it has already reached the outside of the culvert slope." I have already thought about holding you here for the time being, on the one hand, I want to see the movements of Ban Huailing, and on the other hand, I just hope that the altar master can find this place quickly and bring you back to the hall. I could have killed you, but Gu Shaoxia was kind to my Immortal Hall, and I He Qinghua couldn't do it. These words are not unpleasant, like bones in the throat, and it is really uncomfortable to hold in my heart, besides, you once saved He Yanqiu's life, and if I want to do such a thing that traps Gu Shaoxia in injustice, I can't do it. ”

She said so much at once, and she looked very lonely, but I was relieved and moved the shadow chasing sword away from her neck. What's the use of killing her now? If she really wanted to do something bad to me, I'm afraid she wouldn't have thrown away the chela in her sleeve, and she wouldn't have told me so much. In her heart, she was only afraid of being greatly entangled, on the one hand, she was unwilling to disobey the holy order of their Immortal Hall, but on the other hand, she wanted to help me leave.

When I was under the tree, I had already recognized that she was cornered, and I could not see that she had been thinking like this all this way. If she hadn't said it, I might have been kept in the dark. A woman's mind is really elusive, but she can tell her frankly now, and it is not in vain that I saved her life.

I sat down and said, "How many people are there in your Immortal Hall?"

He Erniang was still holding my animal skin bag in her hand and said, "In addition to the more than 100 brothers who died of ours, there are still more than 1,200 disciples in this area. ”

I was a little surprised and said, "So much?"

He Erniang nodded, and said: "In this battle of the Death Swamp, we are divided into two ways, the hall master and all the altar masters led a large army into the main altar, and the nine deputy altar masters of the four altars led us to ambush in the outer bushes of Hecheng, Bitter Heart City and Sand City, a total of 3,000 people. Our plan was quite sophisticated, but it was interrupted by the monk Benkong and drove us out of the Death Swamp, and 500 of the 3,000 people died. ”

No matter how elaborate the plan was, in the end, it was still seen through by the master of the sky. I thought silently, no wonder when I was in the Death Swamp, I hadn't heard of any deputy altar masters coming from the Immortal Hall opposite, it turned out that at that time, their characters of the deputy altar masters had been driven out of the forest. If the three thousand of them could have joined Fang Wenwen and them, the overall number of people in the Immortal Hall would have reached nearly 10,000, and the strength would have increased a lot, if this was the case, the Immortal Hall would not be so inferior to the Seven Great Sects at that time, and the Seven Great Sects would not have won so easily.

In order to destroy the Immortal Hall in one fell swoop, I thought that their scheming was already very powerful, but now it seems that their plan is even higher than I imagined.

As soon as I thought of this, suddenly, lightning flashed through my head.

If there were still 2,500 people left when those deputy altar masters of the Immortal Hall were driven out of the outer forests of the Death Swamp, and then they merged with the 800 remnants led by Fang Wenwen, then wouldn't they still have more than 3,000 horses left in their Immortal Hall? However, Na Gu had said that when the Seven Great Sects escaped from the Death Swamp, they were only 2,000 people.

From this point of view, in this battle of the Swamp of Death, isn't it a big defeat for the Seven Great Sects?

I looked at He Erniang, and my ears seemed to echo what she said on the top of the Miluo Clan, and I said, "You mean, you still have more than 3,000 disciples?"

He Erniang smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that you have also guessed that this time in the battle of the Death Swamp, it seems that my Immortal Hall has been defeated, but in fact, the Seven Great Sects have suffered a loss." Gu Shaoxia, in such a situation, if you go back to the Central Plains, you should know what the consequences will be, right?"

I see.

The Seven Great Sects carefully planned to eradicate the Immortal Hall in the Death Swamp, and in fact they almost succeeded, but I helped the Immortal Hall outside the Divine Dragon Cave, causing Fang Wenwen and more than 800 people to escape from the Divine Dragon Cave.

I originally thought that the Seven Great Sects had won a great victory in this battle, and the Immortal Hall was wiped out, even if the Master of the Heavenly Sky and the heads of the Heavenly Sect wanted to blame me, they couldn't blame me, they just regarded me as a member of the Demon Sect, hated me, and they wouldn't accept me easily in the future. But I always thought that it was the Seven Great Sects that won a great victory, and I didn't expect that there would be so many people left in the Immortal Hall after the war.

There are still so many people left, no matter what, this time it is the defeat of the Seven Great Sects, even though it is inseparable from the 100,000 Swamp Fish-headed Monsters, but the people of the Seven Great Sects must have put all the blame on me, I am afraid that now in the eyes of the Seven Great Sects, they have regarded me as a mortal enemy, and they are eager to dig out my heart and lungs. So, if I go back to the Central Plains now, wouldn't it be just like He Erniang said to throw myself into the fire pit?

The more I thought about it, the colder my heart became, and my whole body seemed to fall to the bottom. I really didn't expect that things would have developed like this a long time ago, and I thought that I had antidote to the poison in my body, and I was not much sure that the people of the Seven Great Sects would not kill me.

"Gu Shaoxia. Next to him, He Erniang called me, I came back to my senses and looked at her, she probably saw that my expression was wrong, and sighed faintly and said: "Gu Shaoxia, you are chivalrous and a good person, I He Qinghua admire you very much." But this is the rivers and lakes, there are too many reasons that can't be explained, and the matter has come to this point, you must think about it, don't be rash, save your life and leave here before making plans. ”

I had been trying to persuade her to save her life and avenge her dead brothers, but now she has persuaded me. I smiled and said, "Where else can I go?"

He Erniang picked up the medicine cloth on the ground, wrapped it around my right arm little by little, and said, "Gu Shaoxia, you can't stay any longer in the Central Plains and the Western Regions, you are kind to me, and I will help you." I have already thought about it for you, and when you get out of the culvert slope, you can go far away to Mobei and go to Western Xia and Daliao to settle down temporarily. ”
