Chapter 252: The Faceless Man
When Zong Xiu came back from outside, the effect of the pill that Zong Zixin and Zhao Shucheng had taken had passed, but their eyes were dilated, and their whole bodies were soaked with sweat, and Zhao Shucheng's perseverance was poor, and he kept hitting his head on the ground when he couldn't help it, and at this moment his forehead was broken, covered with blood, and he looked extremely miserable.
But Zong Xiu knew that this was only a superficial injury, and although it looked miserable, it was fine. He kicked Zhao Shucheng lightly and said, "Can you still speak?"
Zhao Shucheng hurriedly struggled to get up from the ground, forced out a smile, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
However, his hands and feet were tied, coupled with his cloak and hair, his face was covered with undried blood, and his movements were indescribably funny, Zong Xiu frowned and said, "Untie him, and then go and wash it." ”
Zong Ziyu hurriedly came over, untied Zhao Shucheng's rope, and then used the water purification recipe to wash away the dust and blood stains he was contaminated, and took out a little medicine powder to treat external injuries and wiped it on Zhao Shucheng's forehead.
Zhao Shucheng was touched by the wound, and inhaled cold air in his mouth, and said, "Zong Ziyu, you lighten it." ”
Zong Xiu walked to the head of the bed, and with a slight wave of his hand, the ropes that bound Zong Zixin broke together. Zong Xiu looked carefully, and saw that Zong Zixin's eyes were quite clear except that his face was a little pale, and he didn't hurt himself like Zhao Shucheng, so he said: "I can't see it, you can bear it." ”
Zong Zixin exhaled deeply, adjusted her emotions, and then reluctantly smiled: "The ghost worship is too famous, I know that the worship is unwilling to embarrass me too much, but it is just a small punishment, otherwise with the means of worship, how can I bear it?"
Zong Xiu smiled after hearing this, and said, "How do you know that I don't want to embarrass you?" It's just that I don't want to bother with these things, but now it's okay, with Zhao Shucheng's idea, you can try different novel methods in the future." ”
Zong Zixin's face froze suddenly, Zhao Shucheng over there finally stood up, and when he heard Zong Xiu's words, he knelt down with a "poof" and shouted: "Lord Enshrined, I really can't come up with an idea, just let me go!"
Zong Xiu said: "It's okay, in the future, Zong Zixin will come up with the idea, and you will bear it." ”
Zhao Shucheng cried with a sad face, he really didn't know why this ghost had saved him, why he was treating him like this now, was it just for fun?
And Zong Zixin had already gotten off the bed at this moment, lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "If the ghost worship is still angry with Zixin, Zixin is willing to accept the punishment, and there is no dissatisfaction in his heart." ”
"Oh, why do you think I'm angry with you?"
"The day before yesterday, Xin shouldn't have gone to the ghost to worship, Zixin's performance that day was actually to despise the offering. ”
Zong Xiu suddenly laughed out loud and said, "You say yes, right?" ”
Zong Zixin wondered in her heart, could it be that her own straightforward solicitation the day before yesterday made this ghost worship feel despised? But if it wasn't for that day, she didn't have anything to do with this ghost worship, why would she be like this?
Zhao Shucheng and Zong Zixin were uneasy, and Zong Xiu had already sat on the side of the bed and said, "Tell me about the Zong family and the Zhao family." ”
"Huh?"
"What, can't you say?"
Zong Zixin hurriedly said: "No, what do you want to hear from the ghost worship?"
"Anyway, I'm patient. ”
Zong Zixin felt strange in his heart, but he didn't dare to question it, and was thinking about where to start, when he suddenly saw this ghost worshipping with slightly twilight eyes, sitting cross-legged, and the aura on his body fluctuating, as if he was cultivating.
Zong Zixin was suddenly surprised, and he didn't know whether to continue, or whether he should go out first, so as not to disturb him, but he heard the ghost worship: "You say, I'm listening, just talk about what happened after King Qin ascended the throne." ”
Zong Zixin immediately thought that this ghost worship might be a way to understand the current Tang Emperor's style of acting, so he sorted out his language and said: "Don't hide the ghost worship, in fact, my brother and I are both disciples of the outer sect of the Five Elements Sect, and we have been practicing in the sect before. About a year ago, when I went to Longjiang Market Town, I happened to meet the head of the Zhao family in the original mountain city. ”
"The Shancheng Zhao family and our Gucheng clan are world friends, but since the death of my father, the relationship has faded. However, the head of the Zhao family is an elder, and we still have basic etiquette, and after some greetings, I learned that the Zhao family moved to a valley near Longjiang Market Town. The reason is that King Qin ascended the throne, and the Zhao family did not want to be controlled by the secular royal family, so they moved one step earlier after receiving the news, but our clan was one step slower. ”
When Zong Zixin said this, he glanced at Zhao Shucheng slightly, Zhao Shucheng had regained some courage, and immediately said: "Why are you looking at me? Let me tell you, your clan is not to blame for this matter, my father has already sent someone to inform you, but the old stubborn members of your clan have been arguing about who to choose as the head of the family, and they have not chosen a figure for several years, and they have dragged on in case of trouble, and finally the matter of moving the clan has not yet begun to be discussed, and the army of the Tang Dynasty has arrived, so they have to go to Zhongdu." ”
Zong Xiu suddenly let out an "oh", looked at Zong Zixin, and asked, "It wasn't your intention to move the Zong family to Zhong?"
Zong Zixin couldn't figure out what the attitude of this ghost worship was, and said vaguely: "It's okay, Your Majesty is also quite taking care of our cultivation family today......
Zong Ziyu, who had rarely spoken on the side, suddenly said loudly: "Actually, there is nothing that cannot be admitted, we don't want to move to Zhongdu at all." Our clan is a family of cultivators, even if we don't have much success for the time being, but this is where the family inheritance is, how can we enjoy any worldly wealth?"
Then he said coldly: "Besides, this is really where the wealth lies? It's just a prison, you just saw the ghost worship, as long as my sister and I have two hearts, the whole clan will be buried with you." ”
How can you say that the ghost-faced monk in front of her is also enshrined in the Tang Dynasty Worship Hall, Zong Zixin saw that her brother said it so bluntly, she couldn't help but be horrified in her heart, and hurriedly went to see the face of the ghost worship.
The ghost worship was wearing a mask, and Zong Zixin naturally couldn't see anything, but when he heard this, he didn't get angry, but asked with interest: "Since you have informed the Lian family, why do you rebel?"
Zong Ziyu's face darkened, lowered his head, and said, "I thought it would be successful, Li Jin has promised me that as long as she succeeds in recovering the country, she will give our family freedom." ”
Zong Xiu laughed and said, "Based on tonight's performance, I don't see any possibility of success." If nothing else, I don't think you can deal with that outer hall master. ”
Zong Ziyu said: "No, Li Jin has another person, saying that after entering the Central Capital, he can contain the outer hall and take charge of the hall, as long as we succeed tonight, and the general of the auxiliary country is willing to serve us, it will be easy to do next." ”
Zong Xiu was a little strange and said, "In this world, can Li Jin still find someone to contain the head of the outer hall?
Zong Ziyu shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, I followed Li Jin to see that person, he covered his appearance, but judging from the aura revealed, his strength should still be above the senior brother Kuai Zhengliang of the Luoyun Sect." ”
