Chapter 19: The Poison of Taste

A bonfire was lit in the dark valley, like the only star in the dark night, so striking and yet flickering. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Next to this campfire was a stream, a horse, and a man.

A clear stream, a white horse, and a man in a white robe.

Ye Jinyi sat silently by the campfire, looking at the raging flames, which were reflected on his face and mask, and they were all red. From time to time, he picked up a stick and threw it into the fire, and when it burned out, he picked up another stick and threw it in.

He repeated the action tirelessly, as if it were a new strange amusement.

There was a roast rabbit on the campfire, and he was indifferent to eating, and if he could, he would rather not eat for a few days and nights, but he was a human being, and his stomach would remind him of this in a unique way, so he needed to eat.

The rabbit was roasted just right on the fire, looking crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and from time to time aroma came out of the roasted rabbit and entered the nose of the night brocade.

Ye Jinyi smelled the fragrance and smiled suddenly, and he said to the rabbit that had been roasted, "If this fragrance is a kind of poison, no one here will be able to escape." ”

The rabbit couldn't answer him, and there didn't seem to be anyone around him who could answer him.

But this seemed to him to be the default of the rabbit, and the default of everyone around him, even if he was around, he could only see the black oppressive woods and the babbling brook beside him.

He spoke again, this time not at the rabbit, but at the rushing stream: "In addition to the smell, there should be a sound that can kill people invisibly." ”

The brook responded to him with the sound of rushing water.

He smiled, picked up the wooden stick with the rabbit forked and flipped it lightly on the fire, so that the skin and flesh outside were evenly grilled, and he muttered again: "Then why did everyone fall into the poison of the phoenix, but Chu Xiu and Chu Yuntang are fine." ”

He looked at the rabbit, which seemed to be well cooked, and he took the stick from the fire, put it in his nose and sniffed it, and smiled contentedly.

He was content to stay in the wilderness, with a brook by the woods, a fire for warmth, and a fragrant rabbit to feed his belly.

He suddenly shook the rabbit in his hand and asked in front of him, "The rabbit is roasted, do you want to eat it?"

The air was quiet for a few moments, and it seemed that even the sound of running water could not be heard. Then, from behind him came a slow footstep, but the closer the footsteps came to him, the more his smile faded away.

"You've found it again. ”

A soft, low-alcohol voice, with a little familiar charm, with the frustration of being discovered.

Ye Jinyi frowned, and secretly cursed in her heart: Idiot.

Then a man sat down close to him, took the rabbit from his hand, and said with a smile: "Ye Jinyi, you can." ”

Ye Jinyi tilted his head slightly, and what caught his eye was the familiar crimson, as well as the face that confused all beings. Except for Wei Qingxiao, he had never seen other such anomalies in Ye Jinyi.

"Why didn't you leave?"

"If I go back like this, I may be beaten by my wife and won't be able to get out of bed for a few days. It's better to wait until you finish killing people, and I'll go back to the errand. Wei Qingxiao's head was close to Ye Jinyi, and he attached it to Ye Jinyi's ear and said in a low voice, "Yes, the old man of the Yu family." ”

Not surprisingly, Ye Jinyi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked at the raging flames in front of him expressionlessly.

Wei Qing smiled and saw the change in Ye Jinyi's face, sat up straight with satisfaction, and said with a bright smile: "Anyway, standing by and watching is not against the morality of the rivers and lakes. ”

So saying, he tore off a leg from the rabbit and was about to put it in his mouth.

"Smack. The roast rabbit leg was knocked off by Ye Jinyi's hand and fell on the fire in front of him, and it didn't take long for it to sizzle and smell of roasted paste.

"Are you annoyed and angry?" Wei Qing smiled and glanced at the rabbit leg, looked sideways at the still expressionless Ye Jinyi, and sneered.

A cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Ye Jinyi's mouth, he slowly turned his head sideways, and looked at Wei Qingxiao with an inexplicable expression, as if Wei Qingxiao was a prey that had fallen into his hands.

Wei Qingxiao wanted to open his mouth to fight back, but he felt more and more powerless, and his hand gradually weakened, but he couldn't even hold the rabbit that was missing a leg.

As soon as his hand was released, the rabbit fell to the ground, dusty and dirty.

Ye Jinyi glanced at Wei Qing and smiled, looked at the innocent rabbit with pity, and sighed in his heart: It's a pity.

He stood up, and didn't care that Wei Qingxiao was about to faint weakly at this time, so he said to the wooden forest behind them: "Although there are no rabbits, it's okay for everyone to come down and roast the fire to keep warm." ”

Wei Qing smiled with sweat on his forehead, and his whole body was weak, so he could only barely sit still and watch Ye Jinyi talk to the dark, while thinking about how he had fallen for Ye Jinyi's trick.

He thought about it for a long time and came to the conclusion that Ye Jinyi was sick, delusional, and not lightly ill.

But at this moment, there was a "plopping" sound from the dark and hidden grove, which sounded like something very heavy falling from the top of the woods, and the sound seemed to come from several different directions.

Ye Jinyi heard this sound and said with a smile: "You come over by yourself, or do you want me to invite you." ”

Not long after Ye Jinyi said this, there was a rustling sound in the woods, and the sound was getting closer and slower.

Not long after, four black-clothed men with swords walked out of the woods, but the situation of the black-clothed men was the same as Wei Qingxiao's.

Their steps were extremely vain, and they could barely hold the sword in their hands, and could only barely use the sword to support themselves and walk towards the night brocade.

At this time, Wei Qingxiao, who was sitting there, was really stunned, he glanced at the two black-clothed people before fixing his eyes on Ye Jinyi.

He also observed Ye Jinyi in the dark for a long time, and when he heard Ye Jinyi's sentence "The rabbit is roasted, do you want to eat it", he thought that Ye Jinyi had discovered himself.

At this time, he remembered that Ye Jinyi said "you" instead of "you".

In other words, Ye Jinyi discovered the existence of these black-clothed people a long time ago, but he was unaware of it.

I'm afraid that the skills of these black-clothed people are all above themselves, and Ye Jinyi can find them so early, I'm afraid that the internal strength is no longer something that he can estimate.

However, looking at Ye Jinyi's age, he is just similar to himself, how can he have such a deep internal force, like a martial arts master who has studied internal skills for decades.

Ye Jin Yizi looked carefully at the four black-clothed people in front of him before he explored: "Wuji Gate?"

"Who is Your Excellency?" they did not answer, but one of the men in black asked.

"If you can get the phoenix, you can follow me for five whole days, it's a good way to do it. Ye Jinyi glanced at them, and didn't answer, just turned his head to look at Wei Qingxiao, who was out of strength, and sneered.

"I didn't want to kill anyone. Ye Jinyi chuckled, walked towards the four men in black, and said with a smile as he walked leisurely, "But, today, I'm not happy." ”

"Do you know the consequences of offending the Infinite Gate?" said one of the men in black hatefully.

"Didn't you already tell me what you did at Cliff Villa?" Ye Jinyi slowly walked behind the four black-clothed men and said like a ghost, "Besides, I didn't say I did it. ”

The four men in black wanted to raise the sword in their hands to fight back, but no matter what, the sword was still stuck in place, and their legs were as if they were filled with lead, and they couldn't move half a step, so they could only let Ye Jinyi walk slowly behind them unhurriedly.

Suddenly, Ye Jinyi stopped, mobilized his internal strength, and a faint blue halo of light emanated from his hand enveloped the four black-clothed people, through that halo, he looked at Wei Qing, who was looking at him sideways, smiled, lowered his voice and said faintly: "Remember clearly, it was this surnamed Wei who wanted your life." ”

As soon as the words fell, he urged the internal force, and pushed forward with his palm, and the four black-clothed people actually lifted their swords together, pointing at the direction of Wei Qingxiao, and at the moment when Ye Jinyi exerted his strength, the four black-clothed people all held their swords and stabbed towards Wei Qingxiao, the speed was extremely fast, ordinary people couldn't dodge at all, and Wei Qingxiao, who was also poisoned at this time.

Seeing that the four swords arrived in front of Wei Qing Xiaoxiao in unison, Ye Jinyi still stood in place with a sneer, just looked at Wei Qing with a faint gaze.

Wei Qing smiled, this should be regarded as your punishment for wasting that roast rabbit.

Give you a chance to leave, you don't want to. Nowadays, you want to sit on the sidelines, sorry, you don't have a chance.
