Li Xuan saw that although the dwarf in front of him looked very strange, when he saw him standing there, he gave people a calm, resolute, and intelligent bearing, which made people involuntarily fearful, and even looked up. 23us. Update quickest He settled down and asked, "Who are you?"
The dwarf chattered and laughed, but sighed again: "Who are you looking for here?" Li Xuan blurted out: "Come and save my friend." The dwarf laughed and said, "Your friend, did you bring back the girl surnamed Ling?" Li Xuantou said, "You also know?" The dwarf smiled, "Naturally, I know." Let me ask you again, who are you looking for here?" Li Xuan saw that he was still reluctant to ask, and said impatiently: "Come to find Ding Cangqiong." The dwarf head said, "I didn't expect it bad, and it was not bad." ”
Li Xuanqi said: "What do you expect?" The dwarf said lightly: "Ding Cangqiong came in embarrassment, begging his father for milk, relying on it, and even betraying Wang Shichong, if he wasn't chased by others, I'm afraid he would not be willing to take out all his belongings and mortgage them here, in order to save his life." Li Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "He is really here, and he still needs the protection of the Medicine King Valley?"
The dwarf smiled and said: "I didn't come here to save my life, but to be made into a yin and yang dead man?" ”
Li Xuan saw that he was behaving strangely, and he was sniffed and touched by him, and he couldn't help but feel chills and goosebumps. He saw the dwarf take three steps back, and then used the same method to check on Yuan Si and the girls, and suddenly remembered something. Li Xuan was a little surprised, and a little disbelieving, and asked, "Do you recognize the Nangong True Master of the Medicine King Valley?"
The dwarf head said: "Recognize it, not only recognize it, but also get along with each other day and night, it's just a person." ”
Li Xuan stared at the dwarf, and the dwarf was also staring at him, and the two looked at each other for a long time and laughed in unison. The dwarf smiled and asked, "You should know who I am, right?" Li Xuan nodded and said, "You are Nangong True Master!" The dwarf is Nangong Zhenshi, and Nangong Zhenshi is a dwarf. Haha, I'm afraid others can't think of it if they want to break their heads!" Li Xuan said: "You sent someone to catch us, tie us up and send us here, what are you going to do?"
Nangong True Master said: "You trespassed into the Valley of the Medicine King, and you haven't died yet, you are lucky." Hehe, what are you doing here? Guess what, if you guess right, not only will your life be safe, but the lives of your friends will be saved. ”
Li Xuan looked at the copper vats behind him, and sneered: "Make Yin Yang Dead Soldiers?" Nangong Zhenshi clapped his hands and smiled when he heard this: "Really smart, really smart, although I guessed two words wrong, I also got two words right." Li Xuan was secretly frightened, and said, "Which two words did you guess correctly?" Nangong Zhenshi said: "I guessed the two words of the dead man correctly, but I will not make you into a yin and yang dead man, but into a gladiatorial dead man." Li Xuanqi said: "Gladiatorial dead soldiers?" Nangong True Master said: "It is the dead soldiers who let them fight each other and make fun of me." Li Xuan understood, stared at Nangong Zhenshi and said: "I have long heard that Nangong Zhenshi is a monster, smart, cruel, bloodthirsty, and inhumane, and now I see that the result is true." ”
Nangong Zhenshi smiled: "Okay, Zi dare to speak, Zi dare to speak." No one has dared to be so nonsense in front of me for decades. After a pause, he stared at Li Xuan and said slowly: "If you don't want them to become gladiatorial dead soldiers, promise me one condition." ”
Li Xuan sneered: "What conditions?"
Nangong True Master said: "Live here and swear not to leave the valley for half a step." Li Xuan said: "Why?" Nangong Zhenshi smiled faintly: "You will know if you agree." Li Xuan shook his head and sighed: "The Medicine King Valley has been notorious for decades, and what he has done has been spurned by others. I won't promise you, you can kill me. Nangong Zhenshi smiled gloomily when he heard this, stepped forward and pulled the brocade rope that tied Li Xuan, and sighed: "It's not difficult to die, it's difficult to survive and not to die." What's more, your friend Ling Long's girl is in my hands, and Ding Cangqiong is safe and sound, you didn't succeed in this trip, and you died first, it's not worth it!"
Li Xuan's heart couldn't help but sink when he heard this, knowing that although what Nangong True Master said was intimidating, it was also true, sighed, and was silent for a while.
Seeing that Li Xuan was silent, Nangong Zhenshi no longer persuaded him, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and four white-clothed young men with dull eyes immediately came in outside the Hundred Medicine Hall. Nangong Zhenshi pointed to the sleeping He Xiandu, and said to the white-clothed young man: "Put this into the sad word jar." He pointed to Dou Mugao and said to the white-clothed young man: "This is put into the word jar" He said in his mouth, and the white-clothed young man put the person into the jar as required, and after a while, except for Li Xuan, the rest of the people were put into the copper jar.
Li Xuan looked at it strangely, and originally gritted his teeth and didn't want to ask, but then he couldn't help it, and asked Nangong Zhenshi, "What do you want to do with them?"
Nangong True Master said: "You promise me that not only will I not put them in the Hundred Refining Medicine Jar, but I will also hand over Ling Long and Ding Cangqiong to you." Li Xuan gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "Promise you not to leave the valley for half a step?" Nangong True Master smiled: "Yes." ”
Li Xuan said: "It's that simple?" Nangong True Master said: "It's that simple." Of course, if you agree to my conditions, you still need to drink a bowl of anti-gong soup. Li Xuanqi said: "What is the Gong Suppression Soup?" Nangong Zhenshi blinked his eyes and said, "Feng Lao Er has already told me about your strange situation of being invincible, so I have made a Gong Suppression Soup for your special boiling. Although this decoction can't overcome the barrier of invincibility in your body, it can control your internal strength to the minimum, if not, how can I rest assured of you. Li Xuan muttered: "Then won't I become a wasted person, at your mercy?"
Nangong Zhenshi said: "I am reluctant to turn you into a waste. Hey, a genius like you who can't be seen in a hundred years, I can't bear it. ”
Li Xuan sighed and looked at Nangong True Master, shook his head and said, "You pour it into me, if you want me to open my mouth and voluntarily drink evil things such as Gong Suppression Soup, it is better to kill me directly." Nangong True Master shook his head and said, "It's useless to pour it on you. After drinking this power-suppressing soup, you still need to use your power to absorb it, otherwise it will be just a bowl of thirst-quenching sugar water for you. With a sigh, he muttered, "It's okay if you don't understand it for a while, wait until you accompany me to the gladiatorial stone room tonight to watch a wonderful performance, and you may be able to change your mind." He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back for a few steps, and instructed the four white-clothed young men to add some medicinal powder to the copper jar, and then swaggered away.
After Nangong Zhenshi left, only Li Xuan and Yuan Si girl, Jin Shui, Du Chun, Sha Mantian, Dou Mugao, and He Xian Du were left in the copper jar of the words 'bitterness, happiness, sorrow, joy, life, and sorrow'. The more Li Xuan thought about it, the more frightened he became, although he was not poisoned at the moment, he had no skills. Despite all his efforts, he was unable to untie the golden rope that bound him. According to what Nangong Zhenshi said, not only the lives of Ling Long and Yuan Si Girl were hanging by a thread, I am afraid that it would be a matter of time before they were killed. It seems that this fiasco is doomed, although he does not have a wife, but it is a proper fit for the sentence 'lose your wife and break your army'. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but be anxious and sad, and when I was helpless, I suddenly heard a few moans of pain from Jin Shui, and seemed to wake up slowly. Li Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to get closer to the past, only to find that he had been firmly locked on the wooden chair by the brocade rope at some point. The wooden chair was unusually strong, and he tried it a few times, but he couldn't get close to the copper cylinder, so he called softly: "Brother Jinshui, are you awake?
Jin Shui slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Xuan with some blankness, and when he saw Miss Yuan Si and himself being immersed in the copper vat, his face couldn't help but change drastically, and he couldn't help but tremble. He was originally stupid, but at this time, he became irritable due to fear and nervousness, and when he heard Li Xuan call himself softly, he trembled his lips and muttered: "It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over this time." ”
Li Xuan knew that he had escaped from the Medicine King Valley with great difficulty, and knew the suffering and sinister in it, perhaps the situation of being in the copper vat now had already tasted it earlier, so he was so frightened and uneasy. He comforted, "Don't be nervous and anxious, they put you in the tank." Hearing this, Jin Shui's anxiety decreased slightly, and he sighed long, as if he was about to spit out all the misery and helplessness accumulated in his chest, and stumbled: "Brother Li Li, are you tied?" Li Xuantou briefly told the scene of the encounter and the conversation between himself and Nangong Zhenshi.
Jin Shui was speechless, and suddenly said for a while: "The Medicine King Gu Drug Supervisor and Divine Supervisor are dead, and he left you and you to stay in order to enrich his strength." Li Xuan was puzzled: "But I won't give in." Jin Shui reacted slowly, thought about it, and then said: "If you drink the power suppression soup, you can't help yourself if you don't give in." Master Nangong has tasted all kinds of herbs in his life, and he is not only a great expert in making poison and making poison, but also the number one master in the world who uses medicine to control people. ”
Li Xuan said lightly: "I will not agree to his request until I die." As the two were talking, they suddenly heard Sha Mantian say coldly: "What if he uses Miss Ling's life to blackmail you?" Li Xuan was shocked when he heard this, looked at Sha Mantian who had woken up at some point, gritted his teeth and said: "Not to vote, not to help, not to rely on the wicked, is the foundation of chivalrous life, Miss Ling will definitely understand me." ”
Sha Mantian sneered: "Understand you, what can I understand you? Use pink skeletons to understand you, don't be too stubborn." ”
When Li Xuan heard this, he said: "To be a man must have principles and bottom lines, if it is to survive and keep a life, it is not considered stubborn, I would rather be stubborn." Sha Mantian said with a smile: "Brother Jin Shui has suffered in the Medicine King Valley, you first pretended to promise the old thief of Nangong, and then find a way, can't you?" Li Xuan listened, knowing that Sha Mantian persuaded himself, although it was for his own life, it was actually not unreasonable, but he thought that he would live immortally in the future, and he would beg for breath under Nangong True Master, so he strongly resisted. After being silent for a while, for some reason, he thought of Tang Bing, A Ying, Yao Zikong, and Zhu Yezi, and thought that if Ling Long knew that because he did not agree to Nangong Zhenshi's conditions for staying, and let her be made a 'dead soldier' from now on, he would be full of resentment, and even hate himself. He closed his eyes, imagining Ling Long's desperate eyes, and couldn't help but shiver, muttering, "I want to think about it when I accompany the old thief of Nangong to watch the gladiatorial fight at night. ”
A bowl of soup in life and death, not a bowl of wine in life and death, let alone a sword, a sword and a slap in life and death, Li Xuan knew that the decisions he made were no longer his own business. Earlier, he was always hesitant when encountering problems, but when he was determined to be resolute after the death of his parents, he had made up his mind to be resolute, but he didn't expect that the decision he had made before had only been a dozen days now, and he had put himself in a dilemma.
The four girls woke up one after another, and naturally they all urged Li Xuan to pretend to promise Nangong Zhenshi first, save her life, and then Xu Tu else. Li Xuan was silent, and he had already made a plan in his heart, waiting until the evening when he went with Nangong Zhenshi to see the gladiatorial battle in the stone chamber before acting on camera.
As night fell, four young men in white came in with food and wine and fed the people. Originally, everyone had already agreed that in order to prevent poisoning, they would never eat at will in the Medicine King Valley. But at this time, they were all controlled by others, and they knew that if the other party wanted to take their own lives, they didn't have to do anything in the wine and food.
After the four white-clothed young men finished their work, they put Li Xuan on a bamboo stretcher, carried them out of the Hundred Medicine Hall, and turned a few corners in the courtyard to a wide and tall stone room. The stone chamber is made of smooth and hard granite, and dozens of arm-thick butter candles hang high on the walls. The butter candle flickered, and the bright light illuminated the stone chamber as bright as day.
The young man in white put Li Xuan on a chair, took two chains and tied him, then lowered his head and left with an expressionless face.
Li Xuan looked at the stone chamber and saw that there was an iron cage made of iron rods thick as a goose egg in the center of the stone chamber, and Sen Sen's posture seemed to be locked with several monsters inside. The candlelight occasionally swayed, reflecting the stone room like the Yama Palace, and although the gloomy bluestone floor was cleaned, there were still stains of blood. It can be seen that I don't know how many people have died in this iron cage.
He was thinking about it when he saw Nangong Zhenshi and Feng Xingyu slowly coming in.
Feng Xingyu looked at Li Xuan, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Li Shaoxia for being appreciated by the Lord of the Great Valley, and he can watch a life and death battle here!"
Li Xuan snorted coldly and asked, "Your Excellency is going to enter the cage for a duel later?" Feng Xingyu's face changed when he heard this, and he wanted to have a seizure, but he took a few rough breaths, shook his head with a white face, and said, "I don't have such good luck." However, if you don't know the current affairs later, I'm afraid the end will be a cage duel. Li Xuan smiled contemptuously and said: "What is the fear of life and death, what is the fear of life and death." Hmph, Feng Lao'er, we have all wronged the debtor and the owner, we have fought a few times, you and I have a grudge against you and you don't have to involve Miss Ling, what did you do to her?" Feng Xingyu rolled his eyes and sighed: "She's fine." Li Xuan hated and said: "Okay, you have been an official in the court, even if you are not right, you will not be able to play tricks with a girl." ”
Feng Xingyu laughed and said, "I caught Ling Yatou by a coincidence, but later it was to lead you to the Medicine King Valley. Haha, you can pass through the pass, not only meet the wishes of the Lord of the Great Valley, but also meet your beloved Miss Ling here, isn't it a good thing?" After speaking, he looked at Nangong Zhenshi, and saw that he did not stop himself from going down, so he said again: "Lord Dagu has been wanting to create an invincible warrior in the world for many years, this warrior is not a Yin and Yang Death, let alone a Giant Death, but a normal warrior who can command the rivers and lakes, but unfortunately I have not been able to find this kind of excellent material." Hehe, when I introduced your situation to Lord Ohtani, he was very happy, Li Shaoxia! You are smart and simple, have an excellent foundation, and are full of martial arts, so you are the best candidate for an invincible samurai. ”
Li Xuan listened, understood, and said secretly: "Nangong Zhenshi has an obscene appearance, and it turns out that he is also a person with great ambitions to rule the rivers and lakes. It seems that he knows in his heart that even if he has the ability to reach the sky, in terms of appearance, it will be difficult to have a successful life under the Flying Camel Holy Lord Li Jiancheng, and he wants to find me to complete the dream of dominating the rivers and lakes instead of himself. If I answer him, follow his intentions to win the hearts of the people on the rivers and lakes, and unify the rivers and lakes, he can firmly sit in the position of the emperor of the rivers and lakes. ”
He thought silently, sneered a few times, and said, "In this way, I also want to thank the Nangong Great Valley Lord for his appreciation and your recommendation?"
Feng Xingyu laughed a few times, and was about to speak, when he saw Nangong Zhenshi waving his hand, he stopped talking. Nangong Zhenshi squinted at Li Xuan and said, "This matter will be discussed later, I will first let you see the duel between a reasonably normal person and the dead man I brewed, and then you can make up your mind whether to agree to my conditions." With that, he reached out and snapped his fingers.
The iron cage rumbled, the bluestone floor in the opposite corner of the cage slowly opened, and a damp wind mixed with strange medicinal gas blew up, and the stone room was immediately filled with a strange atmosphere. Li Xuan's heart involuntarily shrank, and he saw two people rising up.
He looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but gasp, it turned out that the two people who rose up were exactly the same except for their different clothes, regardless of their eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose. What surprised Li Xuan even more was that although these two people looked the same, he knew one of them.
Seeing Li Xuan's eyes straightened, Nangong Zhenshi laughed and said, "Do you know these two people?" Seeing that Li Xuan didn't answer, he said slowly: "This one in the left corner is Su Feiyan, Shen Wu's concubine in the past, and the person in the opposite corner who looks exactly like Su Feiyan is her sister Su Feixue." Li Xuan didn't expect that after parting with Su Feiyan in the Hidden Sword Villa earlier, she would appear here, and couldn't help muttering: "You let the two of them compete here, what kind of heart do you have?"
Nangong Zhenshi said: "Okay, let's take advantage of the fact that the medicinal strength in their bodies is slowly improving, and I will tell you a story." (To be continued.) )
