Refinement

(One)

Su Zhi was lying on the ice bed, covered with dark red worms from the neck down, a few worms crawled onto his face and burrowed into his hair.His face was faintly dark, but Shi Xiaoyu was beside him, looking at him obsessively. Her tender gaze would make anyone lose their soul no matter what man she was looking at, but Su Zhi closed her eyes tightly, without any emotion. respond.

Shi Xiaoyu applied some ointment on her hands, Xiao Chong smelled the smell on her hands and quickly dissipated, so that she could wipe Su Zhi's body with warm water, from her neck to toes, every movement of her was gentle and careful, as if she was Cleans an Ore Gem.Su Yulian was invited in, and what she saw was this scene, Shi Xiaoyu said something to Su Zhi, like a daily chatter, talking about what she ate and why she was unhappy...

Seeing Su Yulian coming in, Shi Xiaoyu happily introduced to Su Zhi: "Your unpromising son is here, his face is still so pale, he must not have listened to you properly! Lian, come here."

Su Yulian stopped not far from her and did not step forward.Shi Xiaoyu sat down, took Su Yulian's hand lovingly, and looked into Su Yulian's eyes lovingly: "My poor child, if your illness doesn't get better, you must be uncomfortable. You are uncomfortable, and your father and I are also uncomfortable looking at it." , What do you think is the best way to do this—" Su Yulian grabbed the dagger that stabbed him from his waist, but Shi Xiaoyu's hand holding the murder weapon was still secretly exerting strength, intending to break free from Su Yulian's hold.

Blood dripped from Su Yulian's right hand, and the knife in his left hand was already touching Shi Xiaoyu's neck: "You know that she has gone crazy, but you let her move freely, are you not afraid of death?"

Murong Yan searched for medicine and gauze by herself, nervously removed the knife from Shi Xiaoyu's hand, and carefully helped Su Yulian treat the wound: "I'll try to be careful, and tell me if it hurts."

Shi Xiaoyu didn't seem to see Su Yulian's saber, and turned to look at Murongyan: "Good girl, who is Lian, you care so much about him?"

Murong Yan was a little embarrassed, Su Yulian impatiently pulled a piece of white silk from Shi Xiaoyu's body, and threw it to Murong Yan, causing Shi Xiaoyu's hands to be bound.Shi Xiaoyu was still staring at Murong Yan, and said quietly: "My son is not good enough for you. With his body, I'm afraid I will wrong you! Are you married to him? Did you elope with him? I also married him when I was young. My father and mother are so angry that my husband got married without permission!"

Su Yulian said to Ji Daoxian who was hiding silently behind her back: "Although she is a cripple, her martial arts are not inferior to yours. If you don't want to cause trouble, just take care of my mother!"

Ji Daoxian smiled and said: "It's my fault, I caused trouble for the young master." Murong Yan pushed Shi Xiaoyu's wheelchair and took her aside.

Su Yulian snorted coldly: "A large number of people gathered in Jixin Valley, all for the Chengguang sword in the valley. If you can't get the sword, do you think they will let it go? I know you want to test my skills, but don't forget You can't count on anyone else except me, a lunatic girl! Only Chishui Villa can solve Ji Xingu's urgent needs."

Ji Daoxian: "Of course the light-bearing sword depends on the owner of the young village to get it, but isn't it a pity to only have one light-bearing sword?"

"Oh? Besides Chengguang Sword, are there other treasures in Ji Xin Valley?"

Ji Daoxian provided the secret room, but he didn't know what was hidden in the secret room.Su Zhi has a wide network of contacts, and Ji Daoxian is not the only one who built the secret room for him.He had heard of the ghost weapons made by Su Zhi, but he was not sure that those weapons were hidden in his territory.Ji Daoxian paused for a while and said: "I have prepared a room for the young master. If the young master has nothing to do, he can rest for an hour. I still have something to do—"

Su Yulian "You go ahead first."

Ji Daoxian: "When the time is up, I will send someone to invite you."

Shi Xiaoyu's hands were bound, but he was in a good mood: "I never dared to expect Lian to find a wife. He usually doesn't care about naked girls. Now I think those girls are too ordinary. Girls want to grow into you That's how you look like a girl!"

Murong Yan: "Madam is a first-class beauty, I heard my uncles mentioning you when I was young."

Shi Xiaoyu said sadly: "Really? It happened so many years ago, look at me, my legs and feet are not in control, my hands are tied by you, my husband is sleepy, my son is weak, what kind of beauty am I? Treat like this..."

Murong Yan thought for a while, then said gently: "My mother said that the more beautiful a person is, the easier it is to fall into the quagmire of suffering, but no matter what kind of quagmire you are in, you must try your best to climb out, and you must believe that there is a bigger place outside the quagmire." In a better world, the mud on you is but the dust of the world."

Su Yulian waited for her to finish speaking, then pushed Shi Xiaoyu to the boy in gray and said, "Take care of her." Pulling Murongyan's wrist, he said, "I'll find someone to take you out."

Murong Yan stopped: "I won't leave."

"Didn't you say to leave when I'm safe? Why do you have other ideas? Do you want weapons?"

Murong Yan said aggrievedly: "I just have to wait for you to be safe before leaving! But you are not safe now! That—that Ji—clearly doesn't like you, but she still pretends to be kind in front of you. Throw it away—I'm pretty sure! He's definitely hiding a bellyful of bad water! You may not be able to beat him!"

"He wants fame, and I want revenge. I have common interests with him, and we help each other. Why should I fight him?"

"You are seeking skin from a tiger! Seeking help from the devil will eventually cost you yourself."

Su Yulian looked at Murong Yan, and said word by word: "I'm a devil, a devil who wants to take everyone to hell with me! I'll let you go, you'd better leave quickly, otherwise the king of heaven and I will also die." I can't save you!"

Murong Yan blinked, and his eyes were firm without dodging: "You are not! I don't know how you treat others, but you will tell me these words, which proves that you are not a bad person, you don't want to harm others, you don't want to implicate me— —You told me that you don't like women, and you don't want me to have illusions. Compared with many hypocrites, you are much better!"

Su Yulian didn't like being treated as a good person, so she asked gloomily, "Murongyan, do you think I won't kill you?"

"I swear I won't cause trouble, stay like an invisible man! I'm sure you're safe, I'll go, I can help you watch over your mother." Murong Yan is a smart girl, she can see through Su Yulian's bottom line, and knows how to keep What kind of posture can stay by Su Yulian's side.

"Whatever you want." Su Yulian let go of Murongyan's wrist, and walked to Su Zhi's side. Su Zhi was lying there quietly, with the bruise on her forehead, telling her that she was not sleeping peacefully.When Su Yulian realized that the person lying on the bed was Su Zhi, apart from being slightly shocked, she was not happy.A living dead is not as good as a dead person.

"Young owner, the owner of the valley invites you to go over."

Su Yulian glanced at Murong Yan and said, "My mother likes you very much, just follow her."

"What about you, can't I go with you?" Seeing his cold face, Murong Yan murmured, "Alright then, I'll wait for you to come back."

All the guests in the room got up because of Su Yulian's appearance. After exchanging polite greetings, Ji Daoxian led Su Yulian to the first place, and said in a loud voice, "Please wait for a long time, this young master probably doesn't need to be introduced, everyone can guess who he is, right?"

A middle-aged man with a shiny forehead cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Su Shaozhuang, I have admired you for a long time, I am Meng Anyi, an unknown junior, I hope you can give me more advice in the future."

Meng Anyi is just the Marquis of Qing'an who is famous for his timidity. In fact, he is an important official in the court with a deep city. Reckless things are actually planned conspiracy.Su Yulian smiled on his pale face, looked at him sincerely and said, "I will try my best to guide you in the future. After all, what you do is something that I and other juniors cannot do."

Meng Anyi chuckled: "Young owner is humorous enough, I like it!"

Ji Daoxian said in Su Yulian's ear: "I heard that Meng Xiake brought his son here, I think the Young Master must be interested."

Su Yulian did not lower his voice, and said with a smile: "Meng Xiake's son must be a dragon and phoenix among men."

"Where, the Young Master was joking!" Meng Anyi stared at Ji Daoxian, without any anger or fear, like a child arguing.

"This is—" Su Yulian turned to a young man in Tsing Yi and asked.The young man was tall, with a brown complexion and deep eyebrows, but he just glanced at Su Yulian secretly, as if he was shy and didn't dare to look at him more.

"This is a friend brought by Meng Xiake. He doesn't like to talk, and we don't even know his name."

Su Yulian nodded again and again, with a light in his eyes: "Meng Xiake's friend is naturally not an ordinary person." If others pay attention, they will definitely find that Su Yulian looked at the young man in Tsing Yi with satisfaction and admiration in his eyes. His eyes dropped, and his chin drooped again.

Su Yulian walked slowly with small steps, then suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, that's right! There is one more important thing I forgot to mention, Meng Xiake, do you know that the princess and Luohou are also here? I saw she brought a lot of people, I am very worried. Are you bringing enough people? Can you help me deal with her? With her here, I dare not touch my father's things casually. If I am robbed, everyone here will not let me go. "

Meng Anyi: "It's because I wasn't thoughtful enough. According to Master Shao, what should we do?"

Su Yulian pretended to be thinking hard, bit his lips and said softly, "You should kill them both. Didn't the book say that the king should be captured first when the thief is captured? I think as long as the two of them are dead, the people they bring will be nothing to be afraid of!"

"I—I kill them—don't be kidding—I—"

"Guzhu was the first to introduce you. Aren't you the most powerful here? It's okay if you don't go. I don't think other heroes want to go. The guards around the princess are hard to deal with. I understand, and I'm afraid too! Then we will Just wait and see if she will die in Guzhu's organ, that's the safest way. Everyone has time, but I have to accompany you if I don't have time!" The implication is that I, Su Yulian, are afraid, no matter who is there I'm next to you for protection, and I won't even take out what you want to see.

Meng Anyi glanced around, and there was indeed no one with a lot of guards like him.But he knew that if he took people out, it would be difficult to come back. Su Yulian knew that he had slaughtered the people in Chishui Villa, so naturally he wouldn't make it easier for him.

Ji Daoxian: "Everyone may not know the physical condition of this Young Master Su. If he waits with us, he may not be able to endure it. I think this is good. Meng Xiake will inevitably feel guilty alone. Which hero is willing to accompany us?" With him, besides the troubles in the heart of the young master, wouldn't everyone's problems be solved?"

Su Yulian pointed to a man who looked very strong and said: "I think the big brother with very strong flesh is not bad, he looks like a brave and resourceful hero."

Ji Daoxian responded again and again: "Wu Yan! Wu Daxia is good, the most important thing is loyalty! Meng Xiake, if you still feel that it is not right, how about picking two more companions?"

Meng Anyi hurriedly said: "Killing a princess is a serious crime. You and the tycoons of the world value freedom the most. If you are hunted down by the court because of this, the gain is not worth the loss. I understand that everyone values ​​love and righteousness, and don't be discouraged by such things. Meng."

Su Yulian said: "Brother Wu, Meng Xiake is thinking of you, and I am sorry to let you accompany me, or you should not go."

Meng Anyi didn't have time to explain, the muscular martial arts hero stepped forward and hugged Meng Anyi's shoulders: "Brother Meng is so honest, why don't we have the nerve to go, people in the Jianghu want to be free and happy, what are you afraid of killing a princess, the big deal is waiting for you!" Go to a neighboring country for two years, even if the emperor can't find us."

Su Yulian: "Don't worry, everyone. This is not the imperial palace, but Ji Xingu's territory. Even if the imperial court comes to investigate, it will be borne by the Lord Jigu. The blame cannot be blamed on you. Meng Xiake, I heard that your son is here. Do you need me to take care of you?"

"The child is naughty and ignorant, and he doesn't know where he went. If he offends the young master in any way, please forgive him."

"Meng Xiake is willing to do me a great favor. Of course I have to take good care of your son. Please, wait for Master Gu to help you open the gate, and I will wait for your good news—" Meng Anyi reluctantly took the guards out, and Ji Daoxian followed him together.Seeing Wu Yan walking at the back, Meng Anyi approached Ji Daoxian and whispered, "You colluded with that brat to play tricks on me, didn't you?"

"Of course not. Now is the time to show your loyalty and sincerity. If you don't do something for him, will he be obedient? It's best if you marry the princess, but compared to those ghost weapons, the princess is nothing! Forgot that there is Luo Hou beside the princess, no matter how nice you are to her, she will not make a sequel for you. Killing a princess who will not marry you, and finding a substitute to replace her, wouldn’t kill two birds with one stone?"

"What do you know, I really like Fushan!"

Ji Daoxian: "Hmph, can I really fight the world for you? I have entrusted the lifeblood of my Ji Xingu sect to you. If you fail, I swear that Qing'an Meng Mansion will not be at peace!"

"Don't worry, I'll leave the mute by that brat's side, he won't be able to make any waves."

Ji Daoxian: "Who is that dumb guy? Even you don't know his name."

"I have kindness to him. Don't you Jianghu people value friendship? If he wants to repay his kindness, I will bring him here."

Ji Daoxian's 'square tower formation of life and death' is the most complicated formation he has ever used. The whole formation is connected to the underground secret room in series. There is a side lying tower formation in each of the four directions, and each tower formation has nine Levels, each level has a life and death gateway, and a life and death gateway has a choice related to life and death.Whether it is going out from the formation or entering the center of the secret room, at least nine checkpoints must be passed.

"There are no shortcuts?"

Ji Daoxian shook his head: "This 'Fangta Tower of Life and Death' is a picture Su Zhi got from elsewhere. Although I set up the formation, I have never been able to understand it. But Su Yulian may know the mystery of it. He came here sooner than me. Estimated earlier."

"Can't we go up there, it's your own rock formation."

"Su Yulian doesn't trust me. He has tampered with it when we came here. If we walk up, if we are not careful, we will fall into our own trap. He told me just now, presumably he is determined to let you suffer this trip."

At this time Wu Yan had already walked to the two of them: "Master Ji Gu, why did you stop, you can't pass through this door?"

"The 'Baitoumen' in front of us is the ninth life-and-death entrance. Life here is death, and death is life. No matter what mechanism or hidden weapon is coming at you, don't dodge. If you dodge, you will definitely die. People behind are also listening. Now, if you don't want to die later, no matter what you see, you must go forward bravely, keep your eyes wide open, and don't avoid it!"

"Squeak——" the white-headed door opened, and a ray of light entered people's eyes. After the eyes were temporarily blinded, countless sword rains hit their faces. Call.And the other people who were calm and did not hide or evade were unharmed.A few steps later, another thorny road appeared under the feet, and the ground was full of barbs, each thorn was enough to pierce a person's foot and tear out human flesh. Everyone endured fear and walked over, only one person broke here.

After passing the Baitou Gate, Wu Xing was also covered in cold sweat, cursing a few words before saying: "When I came here, I saw that Ji Guzhu's mechanism was ingeniously set up, and thought it was a child's play. Now, it seems that this mechanism has eyes, killing people neatly and quickly. Very spicy!"

Meng Anyi counted the number of people: "Seven are missing! There are still eight entrances. I'm afraid I'll die here if I don't see the princess!"

Ji Daoxian: "As long as you listen to my instructions, everyone will be safe. After passing through the 'Baitoumen', everyone else should learn to be good. The front is the 'Biyimen'. You need to be in groups of two, each with one leg tied (two people three Foot) across the bridge, there are traps under the six groups of white cobblestones on the bridge, you must step on them at the same time when you pass, and you must not rush. Do you understand everything step by step?"

Ji Daoxian and Meng Anyi crossed the bridge at the same time, which was quite handy. "Do you know how many people the princess brought with her this time?"

Meng Anyi said: "Fushan is low-key by nature, and usually only takes two people with him when he goes out. In the current situation, there should not be more than 20 people. But at least half of the 20 people are carefully selected from the army. They are extremely tough, and they are the hardest to deal with. In addition, there are guards specially trained by the emperor. They are all top killers who are loyal to protect the lord. I have only seen two before, and I dare not underestimate their level."

"Then have you figured out what to do?" Ji Daoxian said, "Don't think that Su Yulian is just a brat and a fool. If he hits hard, I'll be afraid. Don't try to fool him and hurt me."

"I've heard rumors about him, but it's not as exaggerated as you said. He's not as powerful as you imagined."

"A person who is ready to die is more terrifying than a person who is not afraid of death. Don't blame me for not reminding you, he is a person who has been wandering outside the gate of hell since he was a child."
