He is the creator's fault

Chapter 73 Pink Skull

The night was thick, and an uninvited guest ushered in the cave.

Wei Yi opened his eyes and looked at Xuan Tan who was standing in the open space, because Xuan Tan was using his body now, as if he was looking at another self, this feeling was very strange.

"It's rare that Master Xuan Tan will take the initiative to come to see me." Wei Yi made no secret of his ridicule towards Xuan Tan, when he failed to assassinate Xuan Tan, he had always harbored resentment towards Xuan Tan, now it can really be called Feng Shui turn.

Xuan Tan frowned, according to his personality, he shouldn't have appeared here, but some unavoidable reasons drove him here.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"If you mean the daytime affairs, then I just want to make His Highness happy."

Wei Yi has been by Yao's side all his life, knowing Yao's admiration for Xuan Tan, if he can satisfy Yao's wish, maybe he won't go for a marriage.Of course, there is also a bit of his own selfishness in this. His Highness, who was once out of reach, is now within his reach, and he cannot resist this temptation.

"If you are not in my body, I don't care how to please your master, but not now, this body cannot be with Yao."

Xuan Tan's attitude was very resolute, Wei Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he felt angry instantly. What Xuan Tan meant was that he himself rejected His Highness, and he did not allow his body to be connected with His Highness, which was contempt for His Highness.

Wei Yi directly clenched the dagger under his sleeve, and a faint ray of energy locked onto Xuan Tan. The next second, the two shot at the same time. Although Xuan Tan's body was occupied, Wei Yi still used the assassin. Skills, while Xuan Tan's original cultivation base was greatly reduced, and he only relied on physical skills to confront Wei Yi.

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Yi stopped, his face was very ugly, even now, he was not Xuan Tan's opponent, but Xuan Tan seemed to be concerned about this body, and did not kill him.

After some fighting, Xuan Tan also knew that it was impossible to move Wei Yi, so he turned and left Fu Lin without saying anything.

Back in the small courtyard, Xuan Tan found that Yao had left a message for him, and he immediately went to Yao's room, and saw Yao sitting at the table with his back to him, with a cup of tea in front of him, as if he had been waiting for a while.

"My subordinates greet Your Highness."

Xuan Tan has been imitating Wei Yi's behavior style, which can save a lot of trouble. He also thought about revealing his identity when he was jealous, but he couldn't be sure that Yao would believe him, and this matter involved his original identity , it is easy to have branches.

"Where have you been?"

"Go see Master Xuan Tan."

"reason?"

"Try."

Yao looked at Xuan Tan with a half-smile.

"Did you find out anything?"

"Xuan Tan has something weird about him, Your Highness, it's better not to have close contacts with him." Xuan Tan replied solemnly.

Yao looked at Xuan Tan even more strangely. He thought Xuan Tan would change after experiencing the events of the day, but he didn't expect that he calmed down in just a few hours and returned to the old monk's meditation mode, as if exposed during the day. The look of jealousy is just an illusion.This can't help reminding Yao that in his last life, he also used the injury to stir Xuan Tan's heart, but it didn't take long for Xuan Tan to return to his old self. Xuan Tan's capricious situation is really nerve-wracking.

When things go wrong, there must be demons. Yao felt that Xuan Tan must be hiding something, otherwise he would not be so capricious. In view of this, Yao decided to observe for a while.

In the following period of time, Yao and Wei Yi almost became inseparable. There were already bad rumors in the temple, but due to the special identities of the two parties, they had not spread to the point of blatantly spreading them.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and this morning, Yao woke up from his sleep and found Xuan Tan standing beside his bed, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

After this period of recuperation, Yao's complexion is a little rosy, and his spirit has improved a lot. On the surface, his body is gradually getting better, but if you look inside Yao's heart, you will find that there is a layer of strange red gradually in the heart. If it spreads upwards, it only takes more than a year to wrap the whole heart.

Xuan Tan has already experienced Yao's "untimely death" once, and he will never allow such a thing to happen again. During this time, he has been secretly checking Yao's body, trying to determine the cause of Yao's death, but with little success.

In his last life, he also pulsed Yao number more than once. At that time, he didn't find any hidden dangers in Yao's body. It can be seen that there must be something unusual in Yao's body, which is why he became more and more worried.

"Wei Yi, what are you thinking?" Yao didn't know when he stood in front of Wei Yi, looking at Wei Yi with hazy eyes from when he first woke up.

Xuan Tan lowered his eyes, and replied calmly: "It's nothing, this subordinate is just distracted."

Yao was noncommittal, Xuan Tan immediately brought the clothes to change Yao's clothes, the maid was not here to comb at night, all these tasks fell on Xuan Tan's head, Yao's original intention was to cause some trouble for Xuan Tan, in his memory, God this guy He has always been aloof, only the reason why others serve him, and there is no such thing as him serving others.

However, Xuan Tan didn't show any clues, and carefully put on the clothes for Yao, and even gave Yao the illusion that he was enjoying it. When wearing the belt, Xuan Tan's fingers stroked Yao's waistline, which attracted Yao's attention. When Yao looked at him, he looked compassionate again.

"..."

After grooming, Xuan Tan brought in the porridge and side dishes, which he had prepared early in the morning, and now he basically took care of Yao. Even Xuan Tan himself was surprised that he had adapted too well to his new identity. Soon.

Xuan Tan's eyes moved to Yao who was drinking porridge, showing a somewhat complicated look, perhaps because of him, he could feel that Yao was different from others, this person had the ability to change him.

After dinner, Yao didn't go to see Wei Yi as usual, but asked Xuan Tan to move the painting case to the yard, he wanted to paint.Xuan Tan acted according to his words, and quickly prepared everything.

Standing in front of the painting table, Yao just thought for a moment, and then began to draw smoothly on the paper with a brush. After drawing for a full two hours, Yao finally put down the pen and asked Xuan Tan to pick up the paper for him to examine carefully.

It is a picture of maple leaves, the fiery red maple leaves are lifelike, not inferior to the gorgeousness of a hundred flowers blooming, but Yao looks at it and always feels that there is something missing. By the way, it is an inscription, but what is the inscription?

"Wei Yi, what do you think should be written on this painting?"

After a moment of silence, Xuan Tan put the scroll on the painting table and said, "Can I have my subordinates do it for me?"

"it is good."

Xuan Tan then picked up the ink pen and began to write on the blank space of the maple leaf map. His handwriting was strong and powerful, penetrating the back of the paper, and quickly wrote a poem.

"I can't bear to take the second maple forest, half destined to practice Taoism and half destined to be king."

It means that walking through the maple forest is unbearable to look around, usually because people who cultivate the Tao are pure-hearted and ascetic, usually because of you.

Yao read the poem, he glanced at Xuan Tan, did not comment much, after admiring for a while, he rolled up the painting, put it in a long box, and Xuan Tan held it, and the two faced the Buddha one by one. Lin went.

Xuan Tan has gotten used to Yao's actions, and every once in a while he will collect all kinds of rare treasures and send them to Wei Yi. In this life, because Wei Yi almost obeys Yao's words, there are already a lot of secular treasures piled up in the retreat cave. thing.

It's just that this time Yao painted the painting by himself, so the meaning is still a little different.

Walking to the front of the cave, Yao saw the little monk Mingshi.

"Is Master Xuan Tan here?"

"His Royal Highness, Uncle Xuan Tan is no longer in the temple."

"Not here... Where did Master go?"

"Going down the mountain, I should go to Ten Thousand Snakes Valley."

"Thank you."

Yao returned a salute to the little novice and walked back. After walking out of Folin, his expression changed, something was wrong, Wei Yi was not Xuan Tan, he had no reason to leave Wuxiang Temple, and according to Wei Yi’s loyalty to himself, if If he needs to leave, he will definitely inform himself in advance.

If there is no problem with Wei Yi, then the problem probably lies with Wuxiang Temple. Could it be that I was wrong before, this is not an ordinary temple?

Wuxiang Temple has a detached status in Xingchen because of its profound Buddhism and its ability to help the world and save people. Even the emperor will not easily embarrass Wuxiang Temple. In exchange, Wuxiang Temple will not participate in power struggles except for dealing with evil spirits, so The emperor would be relieved to let Yao come to recover from his illness, but now Yao has discovered that something is wrong. If Wuxiang Temple really did something to Wei Yi, I hope that the accident that happened to Wei Yi was not aimed at him.

Yao suddenly remembered that he was still accompanied by the real monk of Wuxiang Temple, and immediately looked at Xuan Tan.

"Master Xuan Tan left the temple suddenly, do you know the reason?" When he said this, Yao stared at Xuan Tan without blinking, trying to see something from his expression, but to Yao's disappointment, Facial paralysis is a common attribute of Xuan Tan and Wei, maybe sometimes he should be added.

"This subordinate doesn't know." Although Xuan Tan answered like this on the surface, Xuan Tan's heart sank, Wei Yi would have such a situation, in his opinion, it was probably "exposed".

"Go and find out where Xuan Tan is now."

"Yes"

Xuan Tan bid farewell and left, he didn't need to run errands himself, he didn't know the operation mode of the prince's power, but he was the leader of the dead men, he could order other dead men to do it, and he wanted to protect Yao's safety, so it was impossible to leave Wuxiang Temple to investigate the news.

In the afternoon of that day, Yao received a message: "'Xuan Tan' has indeed left Wuxiang Temple and is heading for Ten Thousand Snakes Valley, but he is not going alone, there are two monks going with him." Knowing this, Yao It became more and more certain that something was wrong with Wuxiang Temple.

"Get ready now, let's go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes."

"Your Highness, Ten Thousand Snake Valley is far away and not a good place. Your Highness, you stay in the temple, and your subordinates go down to bring Master Xuantan back."

"No, I want to see Xuan Tan in person."

Xuan Tan saw that there was no fake worry on Yao's face, he sighed in his heart, and didn't try to persuade him any more.

Soon, Xuan Tan brought Yao down the mountain. There was already a carriage waiting at the foot of the mountain. This time, unlike the last time Yao was suddenly teleported away, he needed a carriage to go to Ten Thousand Snakes Valley.

Ten Thousand Snake Valley is located at the southernmost part of Star Valley, where Miao people gather. Because of its remote location, the imperial court has very little influence here. Yao's status was easy to be plotted by people with intentions in the past, but in order to deal with this unexpected situation, Yao still went without hesitation, and in the eyes of others, it was his true love for Xuan Tan.

On the one hand, Xuan Tan is moved by Yao's affection for "himself", on the other hand he is extremely jealous, he knows that Yao loves him, not Wei Yi, but now he is Wei Yi in his body, what a damn misunderstanding!

Yao got into the carriage with Xuan Tan's support, and Xuan Tan sat next to the coachman. This time he went to Ten Thousand Snakes Valley, Yao didn't plan to bring too many people, one Xuan Tan could fight and catch monsters enough, there were too many people It is easy to expose traces, and those people combined are not as resistant to beating as Xuan Tan.

Fortunately, Xuan Tan didn't know what Yao was thinking, otherwise he would have doubted Fosheng.

The coachman flicked his whip, and the carriage immediately headed towards the south with a grunt. The first few days were uneventful, but on the sixth day, the group encountered their first trouble.

When the carriage drove through the valley, Xuan Tan found many people on the road ahead, most of them were bare-chested and exposed, wearing coarse cloth jackets, holding big knives, with fierce faces.There are a few broken carriages around, and someone is constantly moving things from the carriages. There are more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground, dressed as servants. It seems that the situation is probably robbed by robbers.

How can you, as a monk, tolerate such evil deeds in broad daylight?But he is Wei Yi now, and there is Yao by his side, Xuan Tan didn't know how to deal with it for a while, after thinking about it, Xuan Tan simply reported the truth to Yao.

"Your Highness, there are bandits ahead."

"Don't bother, if you block it, just kill it."

"Yes"

The carriage continued to move forward, but it was stopped by these bandits, and they dared to come up after seeing them kill someone. Don't mind making an extra buck.

"Stop the car, hand over all the money, and get out of the car!"

The yelling bandits directly put the knife on Xuan Tan's neck, and the other person walked towards the carriage. Before he could pull the curtain, the bandits around him let out a scream, and then the bandits ushered in their career. end of

Half a quarter of an hour later, there was no one standing around besides Xuan Tan, and the group of bandits died without even touching Xuan Tan's clothes.

Xuan Tan flicked the non-existing dust on his body, silently said "Amitabha Buddha" and walked towards the carriage.

"Your Highness, it's all settled."

"Keep going."

"Yes"

Xuan Tan was about to return to the carriage when he suddenly found a hand stretched out from the pile of dead people. The owner of the hand looked at him with difficulty, his lips parted and closed: "I beg...help...help young lady... , save Miss..."

Xuan Tan squatted down and helped him up from the pile of dead people. It was a servant who had been stabbed in the chest, and it seemed that he would die.

"Where is your lady?"

"Mountain...on the mountain...these...people...people are...animals...please...go and save...Miss."

After finishing speaking, the man died, Xuan Tan looked around, but he did not see a female corpse.

Xuan Tan has heard about the behavior of these bandits. They usually kill the men and bring the women back to the village for fun. All the girls from good families who fall into the hands of the bandits are humiliated and their life is worse than death. Now these bandits have just withdrawn Not long after I left, it was still too late to go to the rescue.

Xuan Tan could ignore these bandits looking for money, but he couldn't turn a blind eye when he knew there were still people alive.

"Your Highness, there are still people who have been robbed on the mountain, should we rescue them?"

Yao lifted the curtain of the car, stepped out of the carriage, and glanced at the corpses around.

"Master Xuan Tan can't catch up with him for a while, so go and have a look."

Yao's current status is still the prince, so of course the bandits can't be allowed to do evil in his country of stars. Of course, what's more important is that Xiaobai told him that this bandit village is unusual, and maybe there may be no surprises.

Xuan Tan asked the coachman to take care of the carriage, and took Yao to sneak up to the cottage. These bandits were indeed useless, and the two big men went into their lair without realizing it. When night fell, Yao and Xuan Tan were already in the house. In the stockade.

Because the harvest was very good during the day, this group of bandits was celebrating, the table was full of meat and wine, and the one sitting on the top was a thick-backed one-eyed man. Unlike these mobsters, the one-eyed man was actually a rare master.

What is even more surprising is that there is a woman sitting next to the one-eyed man. This woman is extremely good-looking and is a rare beauty. What is more special is that she has a graceful temperament of a Jiangnan woman. The woman's face is pale, as if she has been ill for a long time She has not healed, and it seems that she is more and more lovable, and she is out of tune with the bandits around who are eating meat.

"Could it be that this is the lady the servant is talking about?"

"It's not like, although this woman looks weak, she is not afraid of these bandits. Instead, the bandits below are a little afraid of her."

"This is rather strange..."

Yao's gaze paused on the bell hanging on the woman's waist, and he lowered his head thoughtfully.

"Go to the dungeon first."

The woman who was snatched up the mountain was not brought out for fun, so she should have been locked up, implicating innocent people, Xuan Tan decided to determine the location of these people first.

Xuan Tan knocked out a guard, asked the location of the dungeon, and then sneaked in with Yao, but when the two entered the dungeon, they found that there was no one here, and even the guards were perfunctory.

If not in a dungeon, where should it be?

Xuan Tan frowned, and suddenly, he seemed to sense it, his brows furrowed deeper, and he immediately rushed towards a certain direction with Yao.In the village master's room, Xuan Tan found a tunnel leading to a basement. When Xuan Tan saw the situation in the basement clearly, his expression changed immediately, and he immediately stopped Yao from entering.

"What happened?"

"These women are all dead, not only the ones who were taken up the mountain today, but also many from the past. There should be hundreds of them."

"It's okay, as a prince, I've even seen the battlefield, so I'm still afraid of this?"

Yao came out from behind Xuan Tan, and after seeing the scene in the basement clearly, he couldn't say anything.I saw that the middle area of ​​the entire basement was hollowed out to look like a pool, but what was filled in it was not water, but blood.The blood flowed from the corpses hanging on the pool. Each female corpse was bound by iron chains to hang upside down on the beams. There was a bloody hole in the neck and limbs, and the blood flowed out of the body. , dripping into the blood pool below.The one hanging at the front should be the young lady and her servant girl mentioned by the family servant, and the woman who was in trouble at the back. The blood has dried up, but the body has not stink.Hundreds of female corpses were hanging on the beams of the house, with their heads facing down, dripping with blood, their eyes wide open, and they died with regret.

Those with low mental capacity might be stunned to see this scene, leaving a lifetime of psychological shadows, but Yao has very little fear, so this scene can only be regarded as bloody in his eyes.

"How could the government be unaware of the killing of so many people?"

Although Xingchen Kingdom is not considered Haiyan and Heqing, the bandits and the like have already been wiped out. They can kill so many people. This nest of bandits should have attracted the army to crusade. Why did Yao have no news before passing by? hear?

"Compared to bandits killing people, I want to know what is the function of this blood pool?" Xuan Tan's expression was solemn. Based on his amazing dealings with demons for many years, the scene in front of him was very abnormal, not like it was made by humans.

Just as the two of them were thinking, Xuan Tan heard footsteps. The other party had already walked into the room, and it was very likely that he was going to the basement. Now it was too late to go out. Besides the blood pool, the basement was surrounded by bare walls, and there was no hiding place at all. The place.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Xuan Tan looked around, and suddenly focused on those hanging corpses.

"Wei Yi, you don't mean to—"

"Your Highness, I have offended you."

Xuan Tan hugged Yao's waist, and with Yao's expression of eating a dead mouse, he took Yao and landed on the innermost beam, because the light in the basement was not strong, and he couldn't see it unless he looked up. for two.

Fortunately, not pretending to be a corpse...

Yao breathed a sigh of relief, quietly waiting for someone to come in, and soon two people walked in at the door, it was the one-eyed bandit leader and the weak woman beside him.

"There are too few women caught today, maybe not enough." The weak woman said.

"I'll send someone to go to the village tomorrow to catch some more. You can make do with it first, and your injury can't be delayed." Cyclops replied.

"Um"

Then, under Yao's surprised gaze, the woman took off her clothes, walked into the blood pool, and soaked in the blood pool like a bath. At this time, the woman's exposed face was still so pitiful, worthy Looking at the surrounding scenes will only make people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.

Yao's eyes fell on the woman without blinking, wanting to find out the origin of the woman, suddenly covered Yao's eyes with a palm, covering Yao's sight completely.

"See no evil."

"Aren't you watching too?"

"All living beings are ignorant. They only see beauties, and they want to think about them. What I have seen are pink skeletons, white bones and flesh."

"..." Yao was speechless to this monk. Sure enough, occupational diseases can't be cured in a day or two, and they flare up at critical moments.

But Yao didn't know that the weak woman in the blood pool had changed at this time, her human skin melted into the blood pool, revealing red flesh and blood, and then the flesh and blood also began to melt, leaving only white bones in the end.

Xuan Tan didn't lie to him, it was really a pink skull, the literal one.

The one-eyed man on the shore watched this scene quietly, without any discomfort due to the woman's change, Xuan Tan was already sure that the woman was a demon, but he didn't see anything wrong with this man.

The woman's flesh and blood had already begun to regenerate, Xuan Tan knew that this opportunity must be missed, and immediately slapped his palm into the pool of blood. In front of Tan.

Xuan Tan has never been merciful to such ruthless people, and quickly killed the one-eyed man. At this time, the banshee had broken free, was injured, and her lover was killed.

The two fought in the basement, a strong demonic aura erupted from the banshee, and the corpses on the beams fell into the pool of blood one after another, causing some small splashes, but at this time the two of them didn't care about it , bent on killing each other.

In a corner where neither of them saw, a drop of blood from the pool of blood splashed onto the back of Yao's hand, and before Yao could wipe it off, a red light flew out from his chest, wiping away the drop of blood.

The author has something to say: guess Xuan Tan's identity, and then guess Yao's identity.
