Chapter Forty-Eight: The Dungeon Under the Pond
At about dusk, Ren Ziyu came to Ziqiyuan, at that time, Ye Jinyi was changing the dressing for the wound on Ji Ling's arm, he raised his eyes and glanced at Ren Ziyu, and then focused on Leng Xun's injury. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Seeing this, Ren Ziyu stood aside and said: "I heard that the eldest brother is back, so I came to take a look, I don't know when the eldest brother will return to the villa, my uncle and Aunt Ning are very worried about the eldest brother." β
"The eldest brother only came back today, and he hasn't packed up yet, so it's not good to go to see his father-in-law, so let's go tomorrow. Ye Jinyi replied, the movements in his hands still did not stop.
Ren Ziyu nodded: "Big brother is thoughtful." β
After that, he looked at Ji Ling, who was sitting next to Ye Jinyi, and said with a smile: "This son came to find the eldest brother that day, and I was afraid that something would happen, so I asked him to come to Ziqiyuan to wait for the eldest brother first." β
Ye Jinyi said: "You did a good job. β
Ren Ziyu asked, "I don't know if this son is the eldest brother?"
Ye Jinyi said: "Righteous brother." β
Ren Ziyu said: "It turned out to be the eldest brother's brother-in-law, no wonder the eldest brother is so careful and thoughtful." β
Hearing this, Ye Jinyi looked up at Ren Ziyu, saw him with a light smile on his face, and said, "I heard Jin Qing say that you have done a good job in the business of the villa, I am very satisfied." β
In fact, there is no need for Wang Shu to tell him, Ye Jinyi will also know that Ren Ziyu will do a good job, because his younger brother has never let him down.
But such a younger brother who has never disappointed may be the biggest hidden danger around him.
Hearing this, Ren Ziyu's face stiffened, and he lowered his head and said: "Ziyu has just been involved in the affairs of Zhuangzhong, and he is far from the eldest brother. β
Ye Jinyi's fingers lightly tapped on the table, and he said calmly: "I have done this when I first got involved in the affairs of Zhuangzhong, and it is already very accessible." β
Ren Ziyu laughed dryly: "Big brother made fun of Ziyu." β
Ye Jinyi said: "I heard that Ziyu has often asked Chen Shengzhi, a scholar of Jixian Palace, for teaching knowledge in recent days. β
That Lord Chen Shengzhi is close to the age of the sixtieth year, at this time, he worships the Pingzhangshi of the Zhongshu Sect and the scholar of the Jixian Palace, and now he is implementing the law change with the prime minister of the current dynasty, and he is a high-ranking and powerful figure in the upper court.
And now the emperor is quite fond of the prime minister, and he fully supports the change of the law, and the New Deal faction is smooth sailing at this time.
Ren Ziyu was stunned and said, "Yes." β
Ye Jin smiled: "It seems that there will be a scholar doctor in the Boundless Mountain Villa in the future." β
Ren Ziyu hurriedly raised his head and said, "Ziyu has no intention of entering the office. β
Ye Jinyi walked over, put his hand on his shoulder, and said, "It doesn't matter much whether you enter the office or not, but Ziyu has made some progress in judging the situation." β
Ren Ziyu arched his hand violently and said, "Ziyu doesn't dare." β
But Ye Jinyi knows very well that sometimes daring or not daring, and doing or not doing are two different things.
Ye Jinyi smiled, sat back next to Ji Ling and said, "Why are you so polite to your eldest brother?"
Ren Ziyu said: "The eldest brother is like a father, and Ziyu respects the eldest brother very much. β
Ye Jinyi said with a smile: "If the second uncle hears this, won't he scold me for robbing you." β
Ren Ziyu was embarrassed: "Where is the big brother?" β
Ye Jinyi lowered his head to bandage Ji Ling's wound again, and glanced at Ren Ziyu slightly: "It's not early, you go back early, I'll go back to Zhuang tomorrow." β
Ren Ziyu nodded and said, "Yes, Ziyu retired." β
With that, he hurried out of the sub-garden, and did not intend to stay longer as he usually did.
When Ren Ziyu left, Ji Ling, who had been silent, said, "Sister thinks Ren Gongzi has different intentions?"
Ye Jinyi shook his head: "Different hearts, I can't tell what my brother is thinking." β
Ji Ling worried: "But what Sister Ah just said about Chen Shengzhi is a member of the New Deal faction, and he is a political enemy with Sister A's friends Mr. Su and Mr. Ouyang. β
Ye Jinyi said: "Ziyu is a Confucian student, he can see these things clearly in the court, which side to support is his own choice, and he can't be forced to change his political views because of these relationships." Besides, now that the New Deal faction is in the limelight, if he really sides with Mr. Su and them, I will be uneasy. β
Ji Ling sighed and said, "I hope he can understand Sister A's hard work." β
Ye Jinyi put away the medicine box on the table, stood up and said, "After nightfall, I'll take you to meet someone." β
Ji Ling asked, "Who?"
Ye Jinyi said: "The palace is alone." β
Ji Ling stood up suddenly: "He's not dead?"
Ye Jinyi said: "He's not dead. β
Gong Chu was originally the owner of Yilan Villa, one of the most famous villas in the rivers and lakes, and one of the accomplices who murdered the Yu family back then.
Yilan Villa is in Jinling, and Tianyin Pavilion is in Suzhou, after learning that the Shenjian Gate and the Cold Moon Villa were both bloodbathed by Wuji Gate that day, Ye Jinyi chose to go to Tianyin Pavilion first, and it was during that time that Yilan Villa was also destroyed.
On that day, Bai Hua went to Tianyin Pavilion to see that Wen Jiufeng's pretext was the destruction of the palace family, and asked the Wen family to be careful.
In just two months, the Cliff Villa in charge of the Chu family and the Yilan Villa of the Gong family were all washed in blood, and Wen Qiongju, the master of Tianyin Pavilion, was also murdered, and the murderers were all pointed at Wuji Gate.
Moreover, on that day, Chu Zhongyue threatened to get rid of the Wuji Gate in Tianyin Pavilion as the right way in the rivers and lakes, and he even received the support of many sects, planning to unite the Chu family to wipe out the Wuji Gate.
Among them, there are many major schools of martial arts, such as the Emei faction, the Huashan faction, the Wudang faction, etc.
However, the largest number of beggars and the most prestigious Shaolin never came forward to make any response to this matter, and the first mountain villa, Yujian Villa, also chose to stay out of the matter for the first time, which was a big disappointment.
Hearing this, Ye Jinyi didn't care, because now almost no one can find out the details of Wujimen, and no one knows where Wujimen's nest is. If you want to wipe out the Wuji Gate, those sects are afraid that it will take some effort.
However, perhaps everyone did not expect that the owner of the palace, who was rumored to have been buried in the fire, was still alive and well, and was in the bustling city of Tokyo at this time.
The bright moon was hidden behind the black clouds, and Ye Jinyi opened the door of the room, and jumped into the center of the Boya House with the two people who were waiting at the door of the room.
Although Boyaju is Wang Xu's other garden, it is mostly used as a pair of poems and dances. Although Wang Shu is a captain, he is also a gentleman who likes to dance and write, and he is most afraid that the blades and other things will spoil this elegant taste. As a result, there were very few guards in Betha Curie, and the three of them soon made their way to the back garden of Bethjar.
There is a rockery in the back garden of Boyaju, and this rockery is surrounded by a pool of water, and there is no one to go on on weekdays, plus the pool is quite deep, and the edge of the rockery is covered with slippery moss, and no one dares to approach this side.
The three of them all jumped on the rockery with light skills, and the ghost Su handed the unlit lantern in his hand to the night brocade clothes, and hid it in the secret place of the rockery.
Ye Jinyi and Ji Ling walked to the depths of the rockery together, and then pressed the mechanism hidden in the weeds, and a large stone slowly moved to the side, and a hole appeared in front of the two.
"Let's go. Ye Jinyi reminded Ji Ling behind him, and when the two of them walked in, the stone returned to its original place, and Ye Jinyi lit the lantern in his hand.
Ji Ling saw that this secret passage kept going down, and only then did he understand that this secret passage was hidden under the pool of water.
"Why did you set up this secret passage in Boyaju?" asked Ji Ling, who was walking in front of him.
Ye Jinyi said: "If one day my identity is revealed, Ziqiyuan will not be a safe place. And Jin Qing is a colt, no one would have guessed that there would be a secret passage set up by me here. β
Ji Ling nodded, didn't speak again, just carefully looked at the road under his feet.
After a while, they came to the door of the dungeon, which was quiet, but there were countless lamps lit, and they felt terrible. Hearing their movements, Yanagisu walked over from inside and opened the lock.
When Ji Ling saw Liusu, he realized why he had been in Ziqiyuan for so long, and he saw ghosts and stars, but he rarely saw Liusu, and he was originally in this dungeon to take care of the palace.
Seeing Ye Jinyi and Ji Ling, Liu Su raised his hand towards a road in the dungeon and said, "Master, the young master, the palace is inside." β
Ye Jinyi nodded and said, "How is he doing now?"
Liu Su said: "The injury is no longer serious, I have listened to the master's orders, and I have added drugs to the daily decoction, and he is still in a coma at this time." β
Ye Jinyi raised his feet and walked inside, saying, "Okay." β
Ye Jinyi and Ji Ling walked to the front of a cell, and saw Gong Zhudu inside, his hands and feet were imprisoned by iron chains, and he was still in a coma at this time.
When Ji Ling saw him, the emotion in his eyes was a little wrong, his fists were clenched tightly in his sleeves, and he asked, "Is he Gong Zhudu?"
Ye Jinyi nodded: "He is Gong Yudu." β
After that, he looked up at Ji Ling and said, "Ah Ling, those who do great things must be calm, and they must not cut off the back road for the sake of a momentary speed, understand?"
Only then did Ji Ling ease his expression and said, "Yes." β
Hearing Ji Ling's answer, Ye Jinyi opened the door of the dungeon and walked in, and Ji Ling followed behind him.
Ye Jinyi saw Gong Chudu lying on the ground in a bloodstained brocade robe, so he popped out a silver needle from his finger and stabbed Gong Chudu's chest.
Gong Zhu on the ground slowly coughed out due to the medicinal power on the silver needle, his fingers moved slightly, and his closed eyes slowly opened. And Ye Jinyi watched his movements coldly and remained silent.
Gong Chudu's internal strength was almost completely lost due to the previous fight that broke through the limit of physical strength, and he drank drugs for a few days, even if he was stimulated by the silver needle of Ye Jinyi, it still took a long time to open his eyes and regain consciousness, but in his mind, there was only the sky-high fire and the bloody picture of Gong Fanyu being split by Bai Hua with a knife.
"Daughter, daughter. Gong Chu struggled to his feet, his blood-stained hands clutching at something on the ground, but it only allowed his fingers to scratch the rough ground one after another.
"Gong Fanyu is dead. Ye Jinyi looked at Gong Yudu condescendingly, as if she was looking at an extremely pitiful thing.
Gong Chudu had just woken up, and the dizziness had not completely faded, and when he raised his head, he only saw a person in a white shirt standing in front of him, and the picture of Bai Hua stabbing Gong Fanyu in front of him was too clear and cruel, and only the cruel sneer on the corner of Bai Hua's mouth was left in front of him.
"Bai Hua, I'll kill you. Gong Chu struggled alone, desperately pounced on Ye Jinyi, almost insane, as if he had to kill the person standing in front of him.
"Bai Hua?"
When Ji Ling heard Gong Chudu's words, he was puzzled, could it be that it was not Wujimen who washed the mountain villa in blood, but the Chu family, but what was the reason?
Ye Jinyi watched Gong Chudu rush towards him like crazy, but he was trapped by the chains on his hands and feet, so he had to struggle frantically in place, but he couldn't move forward half a step.
"It seems that you also feel the pain of the loss of a loved one. Ye Jinyi looked at Gong Zhudu coldly, walked forward in front of Gong Zhudu, and a long sword in his hand slashed through Gong Chudu's face mercilessly, leaving a long blood mark on his face, and the words in his mouth were like freezing, "Gong Chudu, you can see clearly, I am not Bai Hua." β
Gong Chudu almost fell to the ground because of the heavy sword, but he also regained some reason a little because of the heavy sword. He lifted his head weakly, only to see a man in white in a mask standing in front of him, the tip of the sword in the man's hand dripping with blood, which was the blood on his own face.
Gong Chudu covered his sword-pierced face with his hand, and stared at Ye Jinyi fiercely: "Who are you? Who are you?"
"It doesn't seem to matter who I am, the important thing seems to be that you also looked at the villa half a month ago and became a sea of fire, and the whole palace family was buried in that sea of fire, and your daughter was killed by Bai Hua, and there was not even a whole corpse. β
Ye Jinyi was very calm when she said these words, but her eyes were staring at Gong Zhudu, looking at Gong Zhudu's somewhat cloudy eyes with tears, and her eyes were red, as if she thought of everything before she fell into a coma.
"And all of this is what you Gong Chu found alone. Ye Jinyi's strength in holding the sword was a little stronger, but his reason did not stab the sword in his hand at Gong Qidu again.
"Half a monthΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Half a monthΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Gong Chudu kept repeating these words, as if he didn't believe that half a month had passed since that night.
Ye Jinyi said: "In the past half a month, the head of Wen Qiongju has also been killed. β
"What? Hearing this, Gong Chudu suddenly became excited, he struggled to stand up, shaking his head desperately, "They didn't even let Brother Wen go?"
Ye Jinyi said coldly: "Who are they?"
"You, who are you, what is your purpose?" Gong Qidu was an old man after all, and he didn't answer Ye Jinyi's words, but his thinking slowly returned to the right track, and he remembered that it was a few black-clothed men in cloaks who saved him that night.
Although the situation was critical at that time, he recognized that those black-clothed people were using the Yantian Formation in the Star Cloud Sword Formation of the Evil God Temple.
"Evil God Temple! You are from the Evil God Temple!" he suddenly exclaimed as he looked at Ye Jinyi, he was sure that the masked person in front of him must have an inseparable connection with the Evil God Temple.
Ji Ling looked at Ye Jinyi sharply, with some disbelief in his eyes. He only knew that the Evil God Temple was an evil sect with the same name as the Wuji Gate, but he didn't know when Ye Jinyi was involved with the Evil God Temple.
Ye Jinyi said: "I heard that the master of the palace village knows the martial arts of various sects best, it seems to be true. Then why did the palace owner only recognize that it was the Yantian Formation of the Evil God Temple, but he couldn't recognize that it was the Yantian Formation of the Kongtong Tomb. β
Hearing this, Ji Ling was even more stunned, as a descendant of Kongtong's tomb, no one would know the Xingyun Sword Formation better than him.
When his father took over the position of head of Kongtong Tomb from his grandfather, his grandfather specially trained the Twenty-Eight Shadow Guards for his father.
These 28 guards each represent one of the 28 constellations, which are divided into four guards: Canglong, Xuanwu, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird, and can be subdivided into nine guards: Juntian, Cangtian, Changing Heaven, Xuantian, Youtian, Haotian, Zhutian, Yantian, and Yangtian. Each of these guards has its own set of sword formations, which together are the Xingyun Sword Formation.
And the ghosts, willows, and stars that are now staying in the sub-period garden are the three guards of the hot sky among the twenty-eight shadow houses.
When Ji Ling first recognized the three guards of the hot sky, he asked where the other twenty-five shadow guards were, and they only said that the four bosses of Qingma, Yuelu, Shuiyin and Huoshe in Chang'an Weiyang Tower were Jingsu, Zhangsu, Yisu and Zhensu in the Vermilion Bird Guard, and as for the twenty-one shadow guards of Canglongwei, Xuanwuwei and Baihuwei, they only said that they had important things to do and did not mention much.
Now, he realized that the twenty-eight great protectors of the Evil God Temple were the twenty-eight shadow guards of the Kongtong Tomb back then, and the night brocade clothes in front of him were Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
He glanced up at Ye Jinyi, and an answer came to his mind.
Demon.
The evil god who challenged the martial arts master and never defeated it for five years.
"Kongtong Tomb?!You, who are you?What is the relationship with Kongtong Tomb, and what is the relationship with the Evil God Temple?" Gong Yu looked at Ye Jinyi with wide eyes, because Ye Jinyi's words could not be calm.
