Chapter Twenty-Five: Woe to the Cause
It was night, the yin qi in the Yin Puppet Valley was surging, the full moon was rising, the moon was obliquely shining, and the vague moon rings were faintly visible.
Yin puppet valley is just north, a piece of eaves pavilion hall coiled under the foot of the mountain, the glazed tiles on the house, the carved beams and paintings under the house, the golden lamp shines, showing the luxury and magnificence, bathed in the heavy mist, ethereal and gloomy.
This attic hall is where the Li family is located, and the grandeur of the courtyard is not much better than the main hall in the door.
In the side courtyard, a young monk wearing a white splendid robe stands on the top of the ridge of the cornice, with a long body, the night breeze is coming, the clothes are flying, reflecting the moon ring, and he wants to fly, which is quite a bit of floating and pure.
The young man Mo was about twenty years old, with a handsome face, and his narrow eyes made him a little more feminine and mean.
This person was none other than the head of the disciples, Li Mingkun, and on his shoulder, there stood a black cat as black as ink, if it weren't for the eyes that flashed with a cold and demonic cold light, it would almost merge with the night.
Li Mingkun sneered, leaned into the black cat's ear and whispered a few words, the black cat's eyes were cold and smart, as if it had human nature, after listening to Li Mingkun's words, he nodded humanely, the situation was treacherous.
"Go ahead, tell your master these words, and say hello to him on my behalf!" Li Mingkun sneered.
When the black cat heard this, he jumped up, his body was sturdy and light, and ran along the ridge to the west.
The black cat was silent, walked to the corner of the eaves, and did not forget to look back at Li Mingkun, the cold eyes were soul-catching, it was the cold light that pierced through the night, and then completely disappeared into the darkness.
Seeing the black cat leave, Li Mingkun took a deep breath, and a sneer of expectation appeared on his face.
At this time, he heard messy footsteps at the entrance of the courtyard, and when he looked sideways, he saw Lu Chen wearing an ill-fitting green robe and walked into the courtyard with a slightly panicked expression, and the green robe was infected with blood several times.
Li Mingkunjian frowned, realizing that things might not go well, and then put away his sneering smile, regained his pleasant face, and actually had a bit of gentleness, and said in a harmonious voice: "Senior Brother Lu, when you wait for a long time, we will talk in the room!"
In the room, a furnace of incense curls, and the room is filled with a rich mellow fragrance, which makes people feel calm.
Because of his injuries, Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the futon.
Finally saw Li Mingkun, he couldn't wait to tell Li Mingkun all the "grievances" and hatred, and let Li Mingkun take this evil breath for him, as long as Li Mingkun knew, he would definitely take care of Fang Yue and the others......
However, he had sworn a blood oath, and he could not say a word about it, and as soon as he tried to speak, he felt a terrifying aura that made his heart palpitate from the sky, and if he opened his mouth, he would invite destruction.
Li Mingkun stood quietly in front of a landscape hall, waiting for Lu Chen to speak, but seeing that Lu Chen was silent for a long time, he couldn't help but be a little impatient, turned around, smiled indifferently, and said: "Senior Brother Lu, my senior brother and sister are like brothers, even if this trip fails, how can Senior Brother blame you, don't worry, how to tell me in detail." ”
Whether the plan succeeded or failed, it was clear at a glance, Lu Chen was covered in injuries, so embarrassed, it was obviously a failure.
Hearing that Li Mingkun said that he was a brother and sister, Lu Chen's heart was moved, but he felt even more wronged.
"Young master, I'm restricted and can't speak!" Lu Chen said helplessly, his voice hoarse and hateful.
"Restricted?"
Li Mingkun raised his eyebrows, knowing in his heart that it seemed that Lu Chen had been forced to swear a blood oath to shut up, which was not difficult to guess.
He was very puzzled, Fang Yue had only cultivated the fifth order of qi, and he was at the bottom of the door, how could he have hit Lu Chen so hard? Could it be that someone else was involved, and the plan failed, and Lu Chen was sealed, that must have revealed a lot of things, otherwise why should he be sealed?
However, even if he wanted to know what happened, he knew that Lu Chen couldn't speak, and he couldn't ask anything.
"Well, I know, in this case, I ask, you will answer! Don't worry, no matter how this matter, senior brother will also seek justice for you! My junior brother, how can you let others bully?" Li Mingkun said firmly, exuding determination and self-confidence.
Although Lu Chen couldn't tell the details of what had happened, he could figure it out from the side.
For this kind of thing, he was very experienced, his tone paused slightly, and asked with a pleasant face: "How many people is Fang Yue dining with today? Can you have a senior uncle? What kind of swordsmanship did Dao Chang He use yesterday? Can Fang Yue still recognize me? Is Fang Yue still the same?"
Li Mingkun's words sounded like a family routine at first glance, and they had nothing to do with today's plan, but they were alluded to, so that Lu Chen could completely avoid breaking the blood oath, and he could still try to find out the general reason.
How could Lu Chen not understand what Li Mingkun meant, and while sensing the unpredictable palpitating breath, he hesitated: "He dined with his junior brother Fan Xiaobei, there was no one else, He Daochang used the "Great Day Returns to Truth" swordsmanship yesterday, Fang Yue recognized the young master, and it was still the same!"
What Lu Chen said was all irrelevant matters, and naturally it was not included in the blood oath restrictions.
When these words were heard in Li Mingkun's ears, it became "Fang Yue and Fan Xiaobei went to the appointment together, and it was also the two of them who joined forces to injure Lu Chen, forcing him to ask about He Daochang being the "real murderer", and also learned that he was instructed behind the scenes, Fang Yue was still the same, and still did not agree to give up the Seven Spirit Shaping Divine Pill. ”
Li Mingkun's face remained unchanged, his hands hidden in the cuffs were clenched, his bones were white, and a hint of hidden anger flashed in his eyes.
"Doesn't Fang Yue already know everything?" Li Mingkun was furious, and said secretly in his heart.
He has coveted Fang Yue's Seven Spirit Shaping Divine Pill for a long time, he is determined to win, he has planned carefully, and he has put a lot of effort into it, but he didn't expect that now it was destroyed in the hands of Lu Chen, and he betrayed him, how could he not be angry.
"The Seven Spirit Shaping Divine Pill is so precious, if it is given to me, I will be able to complete the second layer as soon as possible and divide the Yin Soul into two, so that I can enter the two Yin Golems at the same time, and the cultivation speed will be greatly increased......
It's hateful, such a precious pill is used on waste, the divine pill feeds pigs, and violently destroys the heavens!" Li Mingkun secretly hated in his heart, both jealous of Fang Yue and hated Fang Yue's violent destruction of heavenly things, and his heart was tormented, as if Fang Yue was wasting the divine pill that belonged to him.
Li Mingkun lost his mind slightly, suppressed the anger and disappointment in his heart, smiled still the same, and said to Lu Chen: "It really hurts you, it makes you hurt and shameful, senior brother can't go, you take off your clothes, let senior brother see your injury, senior brother has Qingying Shengmu ointment, which can quickly stop bleeding and scarring, senior brother will help you apply it!"
"This ...... No need, the young master's status is noble, so insulting the young master's identity!"
Lu Chen was flattered and moved, and there was a blood and sincerity that the soldier died as a confidant.
Although he and Li Mingkun are senior brothers, but Li Mingkun is the young master of the Li family, the difference between cloud and mud is already very offended, how can he let Li Mingkun rub him medicine?
"You and I are like brothers, don't say such kind words, take it off!" Li Mingkun walked towards Lu Chen with the jade bottle.
Lu Chen saw that Li Mingkun was so persistent, so he had no choice but to follow Li Mingkun's meaning.
Lu Chen took off his robe in embarrassment and embarrassment, because he was in a hurry, the injuries on his body were too late to bandage, the injuries were clearly visible, and blood was oozing from the wounds, because of excessive bleeding, the wounds were white.
Feeling that Li Mingkun was checking his injuries, he couldn't help but be honestly afraid, his body tensed, and he was inexplicably excited.
"The young master treats me like a brother, but it's a pity that he messed things up!" Lu Chen was ashamed in his heart.
At this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and then he felt a pain in his abdomen......
"Poof!" the sharp sword appeared in surprise, piercing into Lu Chen's dantian, passing through the waist and spine, everything was so sudden.
A few drops of blood dripped to the ground along the spine of the sword, and the room was extremely quiet, only the sound of blood dripping was heard.
At the other end of the sword is a hand with slender fingers, and the person holding the sword is none other than Li Mingkun.
"Less...... You ......" Lu Chen looked at Li Mingkun in disbelief in disbelief, his eyes widened, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
At this time, he had even forgotten the pain, and his heart was full of fear and doubt.
Subconsciously wanted to call "young master", but seeing that steady hand, the word "master" could no longer be exported, and Li Mingkun's kind smile suddenly became even more hideous and terrifying than a ghost.
This sword pierced the dantian, ruined his cultivation, ruined his foundation, and ruined all his own.
He couldn't believe his eyes, but everything was so real that he lost his warmth for a moment.
Since entering the mountain gate to practice, he has almost regarded Li Mingkun as his master, and has always been the first to look forward to Li Mingkun, and has done a lot of inconvenient things for Li Mingkun, loyal, and strong Mingkun also "called him a brother", he was greatly moved, but he didn't expect that the next moment, Li Mingkun did not hesitate to pierce his dantian.
Is this still the "approachable" senior brother?
If so, why be hypocritical?
Although he did betray Li Mingkun, it was also forced by the situation, even if he didn't say it, Fang Yue would be able to deduce sooner or later, could it be that he was going to be abolished for this reason?
For a while, Lu Chen was indignant, his hatred for Li Mingkun was far greater than that of Fang Yue, compared to what Fang Yue did to him, what Fang Yue did to him became insignificant, and Li Mingkun's honey-bellied sword was the most hateful.
Feeling that the true qi in the dantian was surging out, and his strength retreated like a tide, he was discouraged, and his spirit had completely collapsed, looking at the light patterns outside his body that were like water waves, he subconsciously reached out to grab it, to capture it......
These are all his true qi, his cultivation, and everything he has, but they have dispersed like smoke and rain......
"My cultivation is ...... My true anger...... Why?" Lu Chen's hands were clutched in the air, his whole body trembled, his face was distorted, his expression was crazy, his eyes were full of tears, despair spread all over his body, and he suddenly felt that this world was so unfair.
He seemed to be hallucinating.
Seeing his father proudly showing off to others, "My baby is now a cultivator, and she will also be a monk who will fly to the sky in the future", as if he saw the envious and awe-inspiring eyes of the woodcutter in the same village, "Oh, that Lu family baby has entered the fairy gate, but it's amazing"......
All the images gradually shattered, turned into a dream bubble, and disappeared in an instant...... Nothing!
"Why? You still ask why! I coincidentally set up this game, but because you ruined it, and you betrayed me for fear of death, you are unforgivable!"
Li Mingkun's narrow eyes narrowed into a slit, the cold light flickered, looking at Lu Chen, who was full of snot and tears, he felt disgusted, and sneered leisurely: "You useless thing, you are not enough to succeed and more than to fail, why do you want to cultivate?" In this case, it is better to give full play to the last bit of value, let me borrow your body!"
You were injured by Fang Yue, don't you want me to stand up for you? I will be honest and honest to vent this evil breath for you!"
Li Mingkun said, and pulled out his sword with a snort, to put it mildly.
Lu Chen was desperate, nervous like crying and laughing, listening to Li Mingkun's words, he had already understood Li Mingkun's intention, which was to blame Fang Yue for his cultivation to be abolished, he hated Fang Yue, and hated Li Mingkun even more, how could he be willing to be used.
As for Fang Yue's record with the Xuanying Ball, he originally wanted to reveal it to Li Mingkun, but now of course he doesn't have to.
Li Mingkun seemed to see that Lu Chen was unwilling to cooperate, and said indifferently: "Don't forget, you still have parents and sisters!"
