Chapter 884: Shadows

Forget Chen asked Beishui about the plan of how to subdue the left and right sacrifices, and Beishui took off a strange horse head pendant from his neck, green, and said seriously: "Just rely on it." ”

The eyes of the three of them came closer together, and Mu Yuan asked, "What is this?" After speaking, he reached out and wanted to touch it.

"Cup-poison. Beishui replied lightly, and Mu Yuan immediately retracted his hand.

"Do you want to poison the two of them, or do you want to poison them?" Chu Xunyu asked with a smile, "Do you want to poison them in the well-defended Baizhong Sect?"

"You don't know. Beishui explained slowly.

It turns out that Baizhong Sect has always had a tradition of festivals, and the festival is far more than the Central Plains Han sect, because the Central Plains sect is almost all Han people, the festival is single, and southern Xinjiang is multi-ethnic mixed, the Ming Dian Sect has set up rules at the beginning of the founding of the religion, all ethnic groups who join the Baizhong Sect must take important festivals to register and make a book, according to the dates of these festivals, every year the Baizhong Sect must send people down to the people to participate in the local people's celebrations, and the corresponding members within the Baizhong Sect can also hold a celebration ceremony, not only do not intervene in the church, but give support, which means that everyone is a family, unity and friendliness。 It didn't take long to arrive at the important festival of the Dai and the Banglong tribe "Songkran Festival", according to the previous rules, the current supreme leader of the Dai family in the sect is Dao Yuxin, and she should preside over the Dai people in the sect to celebrate the festival, and send the owner of the Banglong clan or the village to the place. But Dao Yuxin has been forced to retire over the years, and such a public appearance is definitely not allowed, so these years have been temporarily presided over by the left and right sacrifices in the sect, so this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Songkran Festival?" Mu Yuan asked in surprise, "I haven't heard of it, how important is it?"

"Quite important. Beishui told everyone that this is like the Spring Festival of the Dai family and the Banglong people, and a fairly grand sacrificial ceremony will be held at that time, a total of seven days before and after, many people will take a basin of water and splash each other, because these two tribes believe that water can dispel bad things and play a role in purifying the soul, and in order to show that they are close to the people, the left and right sacrifices will participate in the whole process, one of which is to eat rice cakes and drink glutinous rice wine, and poisoning is the most appropriate at this time.

"Splash water on each other?" Mu Yuanle said, "This festival is so fun, we have never played like this before, I will get one after I go back, it will simply be called" Songkran Festival ", by the way, when the time comes, we will burn a pot of boiling oil, disguise it and mix in, take advantage of the crowd to crowd around these two old things, and pour it over, oops, that is called a pleasure." ”

"Then they'll slap you to death. Chu Xunyu glanced at him and said to Beishuidao, "continued. ”

The pendant that Beishui took out has a lot of origin, this thing is the formula that Beishui himself interpreted from the ancient songs, the black mulberry helped him concoct, it belongs to a kind of poison left over from the ancient Dian Kingdom, it can only be mixed with wine, colorless and tasteless, the poisoned person only has three days, the first day feels extremely energetic, the second day is physically sleepy, and the third day if he can't get the antidote, the whole body will be lost, the hair falls out, the hands, eyes, ears, nose and other large-scale atrophy and death, the death is hideous, the pain is unbearable, when the time comes, as long as the wine is in the left and right sacrifices, and when the poison hair is in exchange for the antidote, force them to hand over the holy relics。

Chu Xunyu was silent for a while, and asked Beishui meaningfully: "Is there really an antidote?"

Beishui bit his lip before slowly replying: "No, since I promised not to tell lies, then I will tell the truth, in fact, the antidote was originally there, in the ancient song, but I didn't do it at all, because this kind of cup poison can only be concocted in eight years, and the antidote will take fifteen years to produce a dose, how can I have time to do it." ”

"Can't do it or don't want to do it?" Chu Xunyu took a step forward.

"Both. Beishui replied categorically, "I can't do it and I don't want to do it for them, they owe our family's lives, let's talk about this reason, it's not too much to ask the lives of the two of them to pay for our family." ”

None of the three of them spoke, because they didn't know what to say, and after waiting for a while, Bei Shui said slowly: "I said that I used to ask the ten village guys of Yanying Village for help, in fact, I said his identity nonsense, but he will definitely help us, our plan has not changed, go to him, he will arrange for us to disguise and blend into the celebration." ”

"Well, I know his identity is fake. Chu Xunyu said indifferently, "When you said that he had a kinship with the previous generation of the Black Snake Village Master, I knew that there was a problem, because you yourself said that the Mingdian Sect Master is not allowed to have blood relatives within one generation." ”

"I can't hide it from you. Beishui smiled awkwardly.

"There are a lot of inconsistencies in your story. Chu Xunyu continued calmly, "I've found it all. ”

"No way. Beishui shook his head regretfully, "What I said about the past is generally right, but I have revised some details myself, the price of telling a lie is to make up for it with more lies later, and it will only expose more, I don't want to talk about these things now, there are some things that you will slowly know in the future, but I am afraid that you will be more surprised when you know." ”

"What about now?" Chu Xunyu asked, "Don't say that you have to go to the sect to find the ten village guys now, it's too dangerous to break in." ”

"No, I don't. Beishui gestured and said, "We only need to pass through a few big villages along the way, according to the agreement, in fifteen days, the ten villagers will meet us in a mountain south of the Baizhong Sect, and I haven't seen him for many years." ”

"Are you so sure he won't betray you?" Chu Xunyu asked rhetorically, "He has been in the sect for so many years, what if things are wrong?"

"Absolutely not. Beishui smiled bitterly, "Because back then, he was the one who let me and Hei Sangweng go, and he was just like my relatives, and I absolutely trusted him." ”

At the same time, outside the gate of the Baizhong Sect, an uninvited guest was ushered in, an old man in black slowly approached with a cane, the guard guarding the door stopped him, and the old man said with a smile: "I am tired to tell you, the old friend of the Central Plains is visiting." ”

Several guards glanced at each other, and one of them asked in Chinese, "Please also ask about the origin of the senior master." ”

"There is no division, at least not yet. The old man shook his head.

"This ......," the guard said with some unhappiness, "Senior, you should know the rules, our Baizhong Sect only accepts Han cultivators with backgrounds, and casual cultivators are not accepted, please leave quickly." ”

"Oh, wait, wait. The old man hurriedly touched his body with his right hand for a long time, and found a rough wooden doll with many strange words engraved on it, "Hehe, people are old, and many rules have been forgotten, please take this in and take a look at the left and right sacrifices of Zunjin." ”

Although the guards didn't recognize it, but Baizhong Sect was a famous party in the end, and there was still a number of manners, seeing that the people who came were not like idle people, so they said a little wait, and went in with a wooden doll, and the old man was not anxious, so he found a stone at the door and sat down, looking at the gate in and out of many passers-by, he leaned his cane on his body, and hung his joints with his right hand, and after a while, another guard next to him asked strangely: "Old man, is your left hand a little inconvenient?"

"yes. The old man replied with a smile, "I can't help it when I'm old, there is a lot of rain in southern Xinjiang, and I'm not very used to it every time I come over." ”

"You've been to us before?" the guard asked, surprised.

Before the old man could answer, suddenly there were no less than 50 teachings running out of the gate, surrounded by a fat man and a bald old man in the middle, and it was the left and right sacrifices. ”

The old man nodded, and before leaving, he replied to the guard who was bowing his head, "I have been here a few times many years ago. After saying that, he went in with the sacrifices on the left and right, leaving only the guards who looked at each other.

After watching the left and right priests and their entourage welcome the old man directly into the main altar, please sit down and serve the tea, directly cut to the topic, Dazuo took out the doll and said: "This thing is given by the first generation of the Ming Dian sect master, it has been verified, Your Excellency came from afar, since you have taken the guest token of my sect leader, there must be something to come, according to the rules, we will take it back first, friend, say your request." ”

The old man smiled and thanked everyone: "The old man came here this time to stay for a few days. ”

"What kind of trouble did you cause in the Central Plains?" said the Great Right Priest quickly.

"That's not it, I want to borrow the land of your religion and wait for others. The old man explained, "If my prediction is right, it will definitely come here in the near future, and the old decay has a period of cause and effect to end, and please don't stop it." ”

"Does it matter who comes?"

"It's not very important, it's just a junior in the enlightenment stage of Buddhism, and I want to take his life. ”

"Southern Xinjiang?"

"Central Plains people. ”

"Reported?"

"Nope. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be trespassing, so that's easy to do. Dazuo nodded, "Friends, how about March?"

"Enough. The old man nodded.

"Yes, please. "Dazuo asked a few sectarians to go to the hospitality place in the back mountain to find an elegant room to settle the old man.

The old man entered the house, it was not bad, there was a teaching bank to send tea cakes and herbs as gifts, on behalf of a little heart of the hundred middle school, the old man nodded, after thanking him, he took out a few rolls of silk and handed them over: "There is a little brother, there is another request, the old man does not like to be disturbed, if there is nothing to do, don't let people in, but if you have a request, I will go out and tell you by myself, is it okay?"

"Thank you, senior. Several of them took the silk and left respectfully.

The old man nodded, closed the door, took the brush on the table and wrote a few runes on the door frame, pointed at it with a finger, and disappeared, and then opened the window, and the scenery of Shanxian City could be seen outside the window, the winding Panlong River passed through all kinds of houses, and the sun of Hexi was sprinkled everywhere, the old man sat down lazily and slowly, looked out the window with tea in both hands, and said something with relief, and I don't know who to say:" I never thought that the guy in Mingdian could lay this foundation, it is really a matter of right and wrong, the sect established by a few broken grass houses back then is so brilliant today, amazing, I live here, and there are people from Baizhong Sect to help, you can rest assured. ”

After speaking, an inverted triangular eye on the back of his left hand slowly closed......
