Refinement

Shi Chengqiu followed Shi Xiaoyu into Ji Xingu, and Ji Xingu's apprentices helped him bandage his wounds. After that, Shi Xiaoyu seemed to disappear, leaving Shi Chengqiu aside.He was still immersed in the guilt of killing, and reflected on his entire life by the way.

At night, Shi Chengqiu couldn't find a place to urinate everywhere, so he solved the problem behind an old tree, and when he came out from behind the old tree, he saw the old man Ji Daoxian, pushing Shi Xiaoyu's wheelchair furtively, disappearing into the sky. The end of the bamboo forest.Shi Chengqiu followed and approached the bamboo forest, but found that the bamboo forest was surrounded by three walls, and there was no place for hiding people, but the two disappeared here.

Shi Chengqiu firmly believed that there would be a dark room with secret passages here, so he searched here and there. An apprentice saw him here alone, and stepped forward to remind him: "There is a bamboo array arranged by the owner of the valley here. If you enter indiscriminately, you may be stabbed to death by bamboo poles, or Stay away!"

Shi Chengqiu nodded again and again, and stepped forward to talk: "Do you have many secret rooms in Ji Xingu?"

The apprentice glanced at him, puffed out his chest and said solemnly: "Young master is staying here temporarily, it's better not to inquire about it. It's important to save your life!"

Shi Chengqiu: "I met your valley owner not long ago. Although he is not very friendly to guests, he is not the kind of person who takes people's lives at will. The formation he arranged is wonderful, but he does not force people into a desperate situation. You Ji Xingu The development is so good, it must be the credit of Guzhu Ji!"

The apprentice said mysteriously: "That's because you don't know my master Gu. He has a very strange temper. His disciples said that there are two souls living in him. The good soul can praise people when it is good to others." On the clouds; the bad soul, when it is not good to people, will cut off the human flesh and feed the insects! In short, it is not as simple as you think, usually stay away from him if you have nothing to do!"

"Have you, Ji Xingu, died recently?"

The apprentice said: "Our Master Gu understands righteousness and will never hurt his own family. I want you to be careful, aren't you a foreigner? If you are not sensible, you will--uh." The apprentice wiped his neck with his hand, which means that his life will be lost.

Shi Chengqiu: "Then who are the dead?"

The apprentice nervously leaned close to Shicheng Qiu's ear and said, "Actually, I don't know too well. I accidentally saw some time ago that the owner of the valley sent people to bury a bunch of human bones, but there are quite a few of us in Ji Xingu. , Who do you think died? It must be you outsiders!"

After the apprentice finished speaking, a bamboo leaf flew from behind, passed between the two of them, and shot it into the apprentice's mouth in a whirl.Shi Chengqiu turned his head, and behind him was Ji Daoxian with a mischievous smile.

Shi Chengqiu glared at Ji Daoxian: "He said just now that you understand righteousness, so you killed him!"

Ji Daoxian glanced at the person who fell on the ground: "It's just dumb, and I can wake up tomorrow morning. He's right, I won't hurt my family."

Shi Chengqiu: "Then are you going to kill me? Is my sister also in your hands?!"

Ji Daoxian said, "Which of these two questions do you care more about?"

Shi Chengqiu: "Of course it's the second one! If you dare to touch her, I can't spare you!"

Ji Daoxian clapped his hands: "It's such a touching sibling relationship, no wonder your sister trusts you. But I clearly remember that you once looked for me with Luo Xian. Are you Luo Xian's person or Su Zhi's person?"

"I—Of course I am my own!"

Ji Daoxian explained in a serious manner: "I mean, are you following your sister for Luo Xian, or protecting your sister for Su Zhi? As a person, you have to have a position. Without a position, you are the easiest to be bullied. I haven't thought about it yet." Do I want to bully you—"

Shi Chengqiu: "My sister's position is my position."

Ji Daoxian put away his gaze from observing Shi Chengqiu, nodded and said, "Very well, I will trust you for now. Come with me, and I will take you to see your sister and your brother-in-law."

Shi Chengqiu was startled: "My brother-in-law?" Su Zhi was clearly dead, and Shi Chengqiu saw it with his own eyes!

Ji Daoxian led the way, and one of the three walls originally surrounded the bamboo forest had an arched door. Inside the door was still a bamboo forest, but the temperature was much lower than outside. Shi Chengqiu was inside, and he always felt chills in his heart.On the edge of the bamboo grove was a wine cellar, and the aroma of wine wafted out of it. Ji Daoxian led Shi Chengqiu down.

It was an almost rotten smell, and no amount of alcohol could cover it up.Shi Chengqiu walked into the secret room at the end of the wine cellar, saw the scene in front of him, his stomach was overwhelmed, and he tried not to spit it out.

A person was lying on an ice bed, covered with small dark red worms from the neck down, and the worms crawled in an orderly manner according to certain rules.This is what Mei Sanju refers to as the living dead. He has only his face to see, and his face is not as rosy as a normal person's, but is faintly black, like a dead body.

If it wasn't for his eyelids shaking slightly, Shi Chengqiu could have decided that it was a dead body!But he didn't dare to move forward, he just looked at it from a distance, and said in a trembling voice: "Sister! Are you crazy? My brother-in-law is already dead, and you still feed his body to the bugs—"

Shi Xiaoyu remained indifferent: "Your brother-in-law is not dead, these bugs are protecting your brother-in-law, I will feed them with other things."

Shi Chengqiu kept taking deep breaths, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only look around stupidly, everything that Ji Daoxian prepared for Su Zhi, a whole cabinet of medicinal materials, piles of ice cubes, and boxes Insects with no names!

Ji Daoxian said with a smile: "You have seen me too, now we just need to wait for Luo Xian to bring Li Chengmao over. Although Li Chengmao is young, he has the talent to be a genius doctor. With him, your brother-in-law may be saved."

Shi Chengqiu looked at Shi Xiaoyu: "You were deliberately caught by Luo Xianlai in order to attract him?" She suffered so much in the dungeon, and she might never come out again!

Shi Xiaoyu: "It's a gamble. Thanks to Youlian helping me, I just won the bet. But sooner or later he will do something bad, and then I need you to help me divert his attention. We only need to get Li Chengmao."

"How can you be sure that Li Chengmao will come?"

Shi Xiaoyu: "Lian's disease cannot be cured in a day or two. Given his temper that doesn't like to waste time, he will definitely take the doctor with him."

"You even want to use your own son?" Shi Chengqiu suddenly realized that after Su Zhi's death, Shi Xiaoyu, who was not worried before, seemed to be a different person.She no longer doesn't care about anything, but only cares about how to keep Su Zhi alive!

Shi Xiaoyu didn't take it seriously: "He is also using me. He used me to help Luo Xian guide the way, and he must also use Luo Xian to open the underground palace where weapons are hidden. Me and that unfilial son are no longer mother and son."
