Chapter 18: The Empty Man
Although it is close to the Chaoxian Meeting, the news of killing Xiao Zheng unintentionally has become a topic of conversation in people's spare time, and many outsiders can always hear people from Tianqu City talking about this young man at the dinner table. They cast curious eyes and asked what happened.
Sitting in prison without a heart, his mind was a mess, and it was difficult for him to sort out the thoughts in his mind.
The enemies on the surface are the Celestial Clan and the killer organization wearing a black and white horizontal stripe embroidered with a flower bud on their chests, and the enemies in the secret, he never knows. The matter of stabbing Sun Wangqian has not been completely resolved, and the matter of dragon heart's blood happened, implicating Luo Xue, and before he could figure out his clue at this time, he was assassinated by Mo Chongshan when he was building the foundation, and now, Xiao Zheng has something happening again. Luo Xue, Mo Chongshan, and Xiao Zheng, these three people are all very important people to themselves, and what happened is also related to them. Unintentionally, he felt that the whirlpool had turned into a storm, and he was in the center of the storm, and the strong wind around him had already taken away the air around him, leaving him breathless.
After waking up in the underground river, Wuxin ordered Qiuyang to go to find out the news of Mo Chongshan, because he wanted to know why Lao Mo wanted to attack him!
got the news, but Wuxin didn't even have time to react. On the night of the second day of Mo Chongshan's assassination of Wuxin, his grandmother was burned to death, and Mo Chongshan scattered her ashes on the Lanjiang River, and that night, Mo Chongshan left Tianqu City with his sister. That is, it is a mystery, unless there is a chance to see him again in the future.
And Xiao Zheng's matter is even more bizarre. A few days ago, at noon, someone saw Wuxin and Xiao Zheng hooking shoulders on the street, talking and laughing. Later, the servants of the Xiao family saw the two of them leading out of the backyard again, and at dusk, the people of the Ye family's medicine garden saw the two of them riding through the medicine garden, but when they came back, they were only Wuxin. The most puzzling thing is that the place where the two of them went was the hill that came out of the underground river unintentionally. And what really determines that Wuxin is the murderer is a 'bead'.
The bead is called the Tongxin Bead, which Xiao Muhe bought from a 'real person' for Xiao Zheng to play with at the Chaoxian Meeting three years ago, and it is not a high-level magic weapon, but a bead that can record the image seen by the eyes. Just drop a drop of blood, and when you want to record it, your mind can move.
The beads were found on the hill behind the Ye family's medicine garden, and the last scene of the video was also unintentionally stabbed at Xiao Zheng with a dagger.
At that time, Xiao Zheng smiled, his mouth was full of blood, and he said to Wuxin: "I didn't expect that for the sake of a girl, you would actually attack your brother." ”
Xiao Zheng's body was not found, and the Xiao family used all their strength to rummage the entire mountain, and salvaged all the way along the small river that diverted from the Lanjiang River, but they were never found. Lie Yuan and the others also searched along the river for several days, but also to no avail.
Things are strange and weird.
"Who's my opponent, I wish you were revealing your true face soon!" muttered Wuxin.
I was thinking about getting out of my mind, but I heard the jailer outside urging: "Go, go." ”
The cell door opened, and an old man dressed in a fine suit, with his hair disheveled, and his eyes revealing an age-appropriate wit, was pushed into the cell, only to hear him scold and scold: "What is it, it is really a dog's eye to look down on people." ”
I didn't have any doubts and didn't speak.
The old man crossed his hands into his cuffs, hunched over and shouted to the jailer, "Hey, I'm hungry." Seeing that the jailer didn't pay attention, he didn't bother himself, he looked around, and his eyes locked on Wuxin. He walked over with a smile and said, "Young man, I see that your eyes are pure and bright, and your bones are extraordinary, and you will be extraordinary in the future, how about I give you a fairy fate?"
"Immortal fate?"
The old man smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not expensive, I only charge you three hundred taels of gold." ”
Wuxin was amused by his words and asked, "Do you still need to pay gold to get the fairy yuan?"
"Hey, young man, you don't understand this, you need gold for any fate!"
I don't want to get bored, so I don't care about it anymore.
The old man leaned into his ear again and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't want the fairy fate, I have a baby, can you buy it?"
"Old man, can you stay away?" Wuxin frowned and said in a deep voice.
"It's a real baby, as long as you take a look, you will naturally find that this treasure is extraordinary. "The old man didn't give up.
"Who are you?" said Unintentionally.
When the old man heard this, a proud smile appeared on his face, and he said, "I am naturally an immortal!"
"Immortals are also in jail?"
"I'm just bored and come in and sit down, and I'm telling you, I don't have to wait a long time for those people to let me out. ”
"Oh!" Wuxin really didn't want to chat.
"No, you're not curious why you came in?"
Wuxin shook his head.
"Aren't you curious about what treasure I have?"
Unintentionally or shaking his head.
"Don't you wonder why I can be sure that they will let me go after half a day?"
Wuxin still shook his head.
"You're boring, young man. I'm not interested in sending you a fairy, and I'm not interested in sending you a baby!"
"It's about sending, and it also costs money, so it also costs money. I'm really not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue!" Wuxin muttered to himself.
Seeing Wuxin's muttering, a smile flashed on his face, and he took out a fist-sized black stone from his arms, shook it in front of Wuxin, and said, "Young man, look at this, do you say baby is not baby?"
Wuxin glanced at it casually, and said unconcernedly: "It's just a broken stone." ”
The smile in the old man's eyes rose from three points to seven points, and he said, "This is not an ordinary stone, this is the treasure of the Wu clan." ”
"Wicans?"
"Of course, you know the Wu Clan, right? Born with the ability to communicate with heaven and earth, he is almost in the realm of enlightenment as soon as he is born, and he is comparable to those born gods, demons, fairies and demons!"
I didn't care to look at the black stone carefully, and on the surface were small lumps like rice, simple and dull, and there was nothing special.
"You take it in your hand and try it?" Seeing that Wuxin was staring at the stone, the old man tempted. The smile on his face went from seven to nine.
Wuxin reached out and took the black stone, holding it in his hand, his heart beat faster suddenly, as if he was extremely close to this object. Secretly injecting the power into the stone, feeling the huge energy contained in the black stone, he secretly thought, "If this stone is refined into a magic weapon, it will be a good choice." ”
"How's it going, isn't it a treasure?"
"Well, in general!" Wuxin still pouted, and threw it back to the old man.
The old man was stunned for a moment, he had just clearly seen that he had unintentionally injected his power into the stone to perceive, and he was obsessed, and at this time, he was impressed by such a performance, and asked, "Don't like it?"
Wuxin didn't like it, he just suddenly understood the environment he was in, and this was a prison. He was only suspicious of the old man's identity, and now he was extremely sensitive to anyone who approached him on his own initiative. When he glanced around, he found that the guards outside the prison were in a trance.
"Who are you, where are you from, and how did you get this black stone?" asked Wuxin seriously.
The old man said casually: "Who am I? I am an immortal, known as an empty man, and I am a loose cultivator!"
"Empty Man?"
"It's the existence that you can always return home with empty hands. ”
"Oh, thief, no, it's an old thief!"
"Do you understand the rules? You are at least a person from the Enlightenment Realm, don't you know the rules of bartering in the Cultivation Realm?"
"No one has taught yet!"
"Then I'll tell you, barter in the cultivation realm, and never ask the source!"
"What do you mean, whether things come from or not?"
"Of course, that's a world where the strong are respected. ”
"Then why did you recommend this thing to me in this prison?"
"This ......"
"I just got it outside!"
"Yes!"
"Since you are a cultivator, why were you caught by mortals?" Wuxin's eyes showed coldness, and he said in a deep voice: "You came here specifically for me?"
When the old man heard the unintentional words, he suddenly felt a coldness hit him. The next moment, Wuxin's hand had locked his throat: "I'm fed up with being led by the nose, who are you?"
The old man snorted coldly, and a powerful force directly bounced Wuxin away, and said coldly: "Who do you think you are?" I just heard about your Ye Wuxin's deeds outside, and I want to see what it looks like. ”
"My deeds?"
"Fighting, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, standing on the shoulders of the medicine king to pee, attracting divine punishment, and finding the dragon's blood, etc., oh, still a murderer!"
"It's the truth!"
"Can you exchange a drop of dragon's heart blood for this stone?"
"Dragon's Blood, do you need Dragon's Blood?"
"Of course, why would I be here!"
"I'm sorry, I don't have dragon blood on me!" After the temptation just now, the old man's strength is much higher, if he wants to kill himself, he will not worry about it.
"How did you save those herbs without Dragon's Blood, and besides, I've been to the Black Reef Swamp, where Dragon's Blood can't grow at all! The empty man laughed.
"What do you mean? The Black Reef Swamp can't give birth to a dragon's blood, how can you be sure?" Wuxin hadn't been to the Black Reef Swamp, but Hanxing and Qiuyang did find it there. Wuxin said secretly: "If there is no dragon blood there, then ......"
Luo Xue's face unconsciously appeared in his mind again.
Kongkong Dao said: "The Black Reef Swamp, perennial swamp gas, how can it be possible to give birth to dragon blood? The most important thing is that you should know that the stronger the vitality of the herbs, the more sunlight is needed, and the most important thing is that the real dragon heart blood needs at least five hundred years of dragon energy. ”
Wuxin froze in place, he was wondering when he began to deviate from his cognition of the dragon's blood, and searched for Master Xian Wuchang's "Immortal Medicine Classic" in his mind, but found that he remembered the appearance of this medicine very clearly, and the annotation had long been blurred. The reason why I was impressed and persistent about it was because Master Immortal Impermanence said: There are many drugs with opposing medicinal properties in the foundation building liquid, and if there is dragon blood, everything is not a problem.
"But I've seen those herbs, and they were indeed saved by the dragon's blood, which means that you did find the dragon's blood, but not in the Black Reef Swamp, where did you find it?" asked the Kongdao man. Seeing the appearance of Wuxin standing like a chicken, he shouted: "Hey, hey!"
"I really don't have dragon blood in me!" murmured Wuxin. It's like saying to the empty people, and it's like talking to yourself.
Things are back to the starting point again, and this inexplicable feeling of being controlled makes the beast that is dormant in the heart gradually wake up!
