The cave was dark, and sitting in the corner, I could hear the wind whistling above the cave, like an unknown monster panting.

Cheng Fuhai was still looking at my arm, and after a while, he said: "Dongsheng told the old man that your body is abnormal, and the old man thought that he was talking about the exercises you were cultivating, but he didn't expect that what he said was this." Qing Yao, you have a lot of research on witchcraft in the Western Regions, do you know what kind of Gu poison this is?"

Su Qingyao pinched a small piece of medicinal cloth, touched the red scales on my right arm, and looked at it with my palm, and said, "Judging from the appearance, this is obviously caused by poison." With his left hand, he ripped off the animal skin coat on my right shoulder, and said, "However, please see, the owner of the village, except for his right arm, Brother Gu has no other abnormalities all over his body, but it doesn't look like a sign of Gu poison." ”

Didn't you fall into the Gu poison? I was a little puzzled, Cheng Fuhai said: "Qingyao, are you sure? Don't be mistaken?"

Su Qingyao said: "Owner, there will be no mistake. The Gu poison in the body, the poisonous insects invade the blood, and the poison spreads all over the body, this is the ruthlessness of the witch Gu, without exception. ”

I suddenly thought of the mandrill of the Black Wind Ridge and Jiang Shun and Ma Qianli, the mandrill had a huge body, but its body was full of black insects, and Jiang Shun and Ma Qianli's blood was also full of green spots. Su Qingyao's description of Gu poison as a Gu worm is a bit creepy, but this is also a fact, in layman's terms, Gu is actually a poisonous insect, and it is precisely because of this that Gu is changed in the Central Plains.

At this time, Han Xiao said, "Mr. Su, since it's not Gu poison, what is it?"

Su Qingyao shook his head and said with some hesitation: "I can't figure out what this is going on for a while." The owner, Shaobai Daoist may be able to see one or two, so it is better to invite her to come and take a look. ”

Cheng Fuhai's face sank like water, looked at me and said, "It's really a disaster, there is chaos at this time." If this kind of thing happens to your body, I don't know if it will be a big problem for refining the antidote. ”

Su Qingyao said: "Owner, what should I do now?"

Cheng Fuhai sighed, pondered for a moment and said, "Then please ask the young white people to come and take a look." However, Gu Tian, about the culvert slope, you must not leak half a word to them. ”

The people of the secret organization have infiltrated the Seven Great Sects and the Immortal Hall, Cheng Fuhai is afraid of startling the snake and letting Boss Jin hear some rumors, if this is the case, Zheng Dongsheng went to investigate the matter of Zhu Shuangyan I am afraid that it will sink into the sea again. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but say: "Senior, I don't know if you have some clue about the secret organization now, Guan Wenlu of the Qingcheng faction has been confirmed to be a person in that organization, could it be that there are still people in the Qingcheng faction?"

Cheng Fuhai interrupted me with a wave of his hand and said, "You can't talk nonsense without evidence, but fortunately, that Boss Jin has surfaced, just wait for the news from Dongsheng." If Dongsheng can find out Boss Jin, even if their people are hidden in the Seven Great Sects, there will be nothing to worry about at that time. ”

He said don't worry, but I have a faint feeling in my heart, it is really that organization is too hidden, and the Seven Great Sects can be said to be the top forces in the rivers and lakes, but so far I can't even find out the name of that organization. Cheng Fuhai said again: "Gu Tian, you can stay here with peace of mind, and everything will be handled by the old man and the master of the door." You were specially invited by the old man for this trip to the Western Regions, and if anyone wants to harm you, I will not agree. ”

With Cheng Fuhai's protection, I felt a sense of stability in my heart, and I half-knelt down by the wall and said: "Thank you seniors for your love, Gu Tian will never forget ...... in this life."

At this point, I didn't know what to say, and I wanted to force myself to say thank you, but at this point, I became a little choked, and I couldn't say any more. Cheng Fuhai's expression softened, and his eyes became a little softer when he looked at me, and he sighed: "Since ancient times, chivalrous people have had many bumpy lives, and many proud sons of the sky have died young, and the old man just can't bear to see the dragon thing die in the mud." Gu Tian, you remember, to be a chivalrous person, don't talk about those messy chivalrous ways when dealing with people with bad intentions, there is still something to do in life, and there will be nothing when you die. ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything, and walked out of the prison without looking back, Su Qingyao and Han Xiao hugged their fists at me to say goodbye, and hurriedly followed.

After saying goodbye to Cheng Fuhai and them, the stone gate was closed again, and the surroundings fell into darkness again, and there was silence. Looking at the heavy stone gate, there was a confusion in my mind, I originally thought that the trial of the Seven Great Sects against me this time would end because I promised the three conditions of Master Benkong, but after Cheng Fuhai's order, I only felt that things were not so simple.

The rivers and lakes are sinister, and the Seven Great Sects have already had the idea of getting rid of Youyun Villa, but presumably Cheng Fuhai is also wary of the Seven Great Sects, so he will say the last words of "those with bad intentions".

The Seven Great Sects are the righteous masters of this Jianghu. Leaning against the wall, I suddenly thought a little sarcastically. But for me, what worries me the most at the moment is this righteous path that everyone admires.

It seems that if it weren't for Cheng Fuhai's reminder, when the Seven Great Sects put the knife on my neck, I was afraid that I would still be in the clouds. I've always been bad at scheming, and I know that this kind of sword and sword shadow in the shadows is really terrifying, and it is not inferior to fighting the fish-headed monster.

There's still work to be done.

I read silently. A faint glow of fire leaked from the crack under the stone door, shining on the scales of my right arm, reflecting a scarlet glow. I picked up the bandages scattered on the floor, wrapped my right arm around again, and sat in the darkness, feeling a chill hit me.

※※※

The next morning, I woke up from my slumber. The whole upper part of the mountain is completely open, and the sunlight shines from top to bottom, if you stand outside the stone gate, you can still see the morning light, but I am in the cave, and I can only faintly see some leakage of dawn from the gap under the stone gate.

There was still no sound outside. After looking out of the gap for a while, I sat up and moved my hands and feet, knocked off the scattered dead grass on my body, and slept in this dark prison for a night, and I only felt my head groggy.

Picking up a dead grass vine on the ground, I began to dance the water-avoiding sword technique as before. The grass vine can't be compared with the long sword, the weight is too light, there is almost nothing in the hand, and there is no such breaking sound as the long sword when it dances, and it can't be compared with the shadow chasing sword. But I still practiced the water avoidance sword technique, and I didn't know that the Seven Masters Sect would not attack me, and even if I was locked up here, I couldn't let my martial arts be rusty.

After practicing the swordsmanship routine, I wanted to strike while the iron was hot and practice the opening of the heavens, but I had just sat cross-legged, and the qi absorbed into my body had not yet been sufficient, but I was deeply spit out. The opening of the day is the internal strength of the Wudang School, and my muscles and veins will be abolished soon, and it is useless for me to practice this kind of internal strength, so it is better not to practice. But if I just stay here like a log and have nothing to do, I can't stand or sit, but I'm really bored.

I sighed to myself and sat down against the wall again. In the past, I heard Huang Zhutou say that there were many cases of people in their prison who became crazy because they were in prison, and that was because the prisoners couldn't bear the torture of the prison, so that they had a mental breakdown, and over time they would become stupid and crazy. Comparatively speaking, my treatment was much better than in the prison, although I was imprisoned, the Seven Great Sects did not torture me, but for a person like me, who has been wandering the rivers and lakes, seven years is a long time, and it is tantamount to an ordeal.

At the end of the day I was so restless, and I didn't know how long I was going to last. I was thinking blankly, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the stone gate, I thought it was the disciple who was guarding the door who came to deliver food, the footsteps walked outside the stone gate, but I heard Jiang Shun's voice outside the stone gate, and said: "The Kunlun faction is well-known in the rivers and lakes, and none of the disciples in the sect are the best in their generation, how did they come to your punishment platform, but there is such a deaf and lame disciple as you, can you go faster? ”

Although this is not a big deal, but it made me feel a surprise when I was here, I hurriedly got up from the ground, put my ear on the stone door, and said, "Senior Jiang, is that you?"

The sound insulation effect of this stone door is not very good, I can hear my voice, Jiang Shun just answered outside the stone gate, but said: "Hey, come over quickly and open the door." ”

His voice was a little impatient, but from a distance, he heard the disciple guarding the door panting a little: "Here, this is coming, senior...... Calm down. ”

The entire mountain peak of the punishment platform is integrated, from top to bottom, there are thousands of feet, and you can only walk down stone steps from above, and it takes half a day to walk. Jiang Shun has made a light effort, for him, this road is nothing at all, he is now outside the door, and the disciple who guards the door is only afraid that he is still far behind.

When the disciple guarding the door also ran outside the stone gate, I heard the sound of iron chains churning from inside the stone gate in front of me, and hurriedly took a few steps back. The stone gate opened, but he saw that outside the stone gate, Jiang Shun was standing outside the door with a huge water tank, and the disciple guarding the door was standing behind him with a pale face, looking at Jiang Shun with a somewhat evasive look.

It was so big that he was holding it in his arms, almost blocking the entire hole. I couldn't help but be taken aback and said, "Senior Jiang, ...... you are?"

Jiang Shun exposed half of his head from behind the water tank and said with a smile: "You get out of the way." ”

As he spoke, he carefully squeezed in with the water tank. Visually, this water tank is two zhang high and more than one zhang wide, which is simply a huge stone. The top of the tank was sealed with red mud, so I couldn't see what was inside, I could only hear the sound of water swaying inside, only the bottom of the tank was slightly narrower, so that people could hold it.

When I entered the door, Jiang Shun gently put the water tank on the ground, then he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at me and said: "The food here is not delicious, and I also know that it is not to your liking, so I specially went to Chenzhou, went to the Eight Immortals Mansion and brought some wine back, let's have a drink here today." ”

As he spoke, he drew a delicate dagger from his waist, plunged the tip of the knife into the sealing clay, and picked it apart.
