All night

As soon as he mentioned Fudofu and Heitie, Xin Wan immediately remembered Xie Ningzhou's earliest name, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Lu Changying and Xie Ningzhou were engrossed in the confrontation, but were interrupted by his laughter, they both looked at him, Xin Wan was embarrassed, but saw Xie Ningzhou's eyes froze on his face, then turned away again, and shook hands He closed the scroll and put it on the table.

Xin Wan peeked at it, and there were three small seal characters written on the cover. It was a very old historical material called "Water Control".Kongsang was originally the place where Zhuanxu, one of the five emperors, lived. The famous father and son of Gun and Yu who controlled the floods were the earliest records of Kongsang’s gods. Unexpectedly, Xie Ningzhou was in the mood to watch this.

There was an indistinct medicinal smell in the room. Although Xin Wan didn't know medicine, she could smell the smell of high-quality ginseng—it was a tonic.Xie Ningzhou has always been in poor health, his face was pale and bloodless, and the lotus wind kept blowing in the bamboo hut, which made his thin skin almost transparent enough to see blood vessels, and his whole body was as fragile as a glass doll.Such a person, it is really hard to imagine that in the past, he was the murderous devil in the fudo mansion without blinking an eye.

Lu Changying looked at Xin Wan and smiled, paused for a while and continued: "That night, when I asked Cheng Xinyuan why he received a black post, he said he didn't know, and I suspected that the black post wasn't his. The young master's younger brother, Lu Qinglan, once received a black post from the Fufufu Mansion, claiming that they never learn from unknown people. But I was not sure at the time, after all, I was an outsider, maybe it was just that Cheng Xinyuan was inconvenient to explain the reason to me. Now I have roughly guessed the ins and outs of the matter, if there is something wrong, Master Xie can correct me."

Xie Ningzhou was in a daze, nodded his head, and said, "You can guess what's going on based on these alone. Martial nephew Lu is indeed an outstanding figure in this generation."

"I guess the person who received the black post was originally Xiemen. Those who sent the post and those who received the post to kill people did not know each other. They are two completely different groups of people. They all rely on the guidance of the black post and the breath of nails. Anyway, they are not afraid of it." It’s not the right person to kill, because in this world, there are very few people who would impersonate others and deliberately take other people’s black posts and use their own lives to die instead of others.”

Xin Wan wondered, "Then what if someone just throws away the black post they received or passes it on to someone else?"

Lu Changying smiled and said: "I also had doubts about this for a while, so later I thought that although the name of the black post is 'Tie', it may not be the letter form we are used to, but something that takes root in the flesh. The evidence for this is that we didn't see any black letters until Lu Qinglan died."

Xie Ningzhou said: "As expected, strictly speaking, the black post is a spell that takes root once it is planted, and cannot be washed off like tarsal maggots."

"Although the black post sees the flesh to take root, this kind of charm is attached to the skin after all. With the Cheng family's bone removal method, it is not difficult to take off a layer. There is only one problem, because in this way, the black post is just a piece of skin. Divided into two, Master Xie can't completely remove the black posts even if he scrapes the bone to cure the poison, and still can't escape the pursuit of the Fufu Mansion, what should we do?"

Lu Changying looked at Xie Ningzhou as she spoke, as if she was really waiting for his answer.

Unexpectedly, Xie Ningzhou really answered: "The teacher is poor in money, and the division of troops is weak."

Lu Changying smiled and said: "That's right. So Cheng Xinyuan thought of a way. He not only implanted the boneless black post into his body, but also took away two fingernails from Master Xie. The Fudo government's evaluation of Master Xie may be It was seven people, and after taking two of them away, although Cheng Xinyuan would probably die, even with all his cultivation, he might not be able to fight with one of them; the remaining five people might even be unable to touch Master Xie at all. Not the slightest bit. The Fudo Mansion has its own rules, and those who could not be killed before will not be killed again. This must be the reason why the fire at the Liantai and the assassination of Cheng Xinyuan happened almost at the same time." When Lu Changying said this, the speed of her speech suddenly changed. Slowly, he said indifferently, "The plan is good, but there are always things that can't be calculated. Probably even Cheng Xinyuan didn't expect that in the end, both of you are intact, but an innocent little disciple of Bai Zhize has suffered because of it." Seriously injured, I don't know how to thank the door master for peace of mind."

Xin Wan knew that he was talking about the wooden night lamp, and when she thought of Ye Deng's face and right arm, she couldn't help feeling a dull pain in her heart.

Xie Ningzhou said slowly: "Basically, you guessed correctly, the only thing is that I didn't know when Xin Yuan split up and left the black post."

He looked over, but it wasn't Lu Changying but Xin Wan who looked at him. He muttered vaguely, "It's really like it", and said: "When the black post arrives, my old illness relapsed and I was in a coma for several days. If I knew that I had been I won’t even come to Bai Zhize because of the black post in the Fudo Mansion.” He looked out of the window and said, “I didn’t realize until those people set fire outside the lotus platform…”

Lu Changying said: "At that time, seeing that there was no chance for those five people, they attacked in a sneak attack before they left. Others said that they returned in vain to vent their anger and hurt people's lives. It happened that Jing Li had no magic power and easily succeeded in attacking Jing Li, but I I remember, because Jing Li had a broken arm that day, he had been beside Xie Men to heal his wounds." He shook his head and said, "Everyone was wrong, the one who took the whip was not Jing Li, but Xie Men, you."

"Then everything is easy to explain. The Xuanbing Green Snake from Xuanshuimen aggressively attacked Bai Zhize. The mastermind behind the attack was none other than Senior Brother Cheng from Xuanshuimen. Snake array surrounds the platform, you can't get out, don't move the mansion Naturally, I can't get in, as long as the delay is over, Master Xiemen will be safe."

"The Xuanbing Jade Snake is a kind of snake that can't be perceived by the six senses of the immortal cultivator—in other words, they are originally a kind of thing between the living and the dead, because of certain innate strange powers Survival. So they are not even afraid of being hungry, but they will die when they leave the water. This dead thing is like an object, and naturally it cannot be perceived. I guess Cheng Xinyuan asked the confidant disciples in Xuanshuimen to bring many snake eggs into Baizhize. It was put into the water that day."

"However, Cheng Xinyuan's luck is really bad. The five fudofu killers who came that day were also able to deceive Ling Ao's perception and enter Bai Zhize. The only explanation I can think of so far is that these five people happened to be Xuan Bing. They were not afraid of the snake array, but they knew that they were not the enemy of everyone on the lotus platform, so they used three thousand karmic fires to encircle and kill them. The ghosts transformed from these snakes and insects came with the purpose of killing people. Use any means to achieve your goals... All kinds of characteristics, coupled with the fact that Master Xiemen was born in the Fudo Mansion, you can immediately realize that most of these five people are your former colleagues. I'm afraid you already realized how to deal with it when the whip came over. It’s going to happen, and after finding out the disciple who brought the snake eggs into the marsh and interrogating him carefully, he will definitely understand who is behind all this, but you haven’t said anything yet.”

There was silence for a while, Xie Ningzhou couldn't refute a single word.Xin Wan sighed softly.Ye Deng's injury was not caused to protect Jingli at all, and it can even be said that the injury was meaningless at all.He said uninterestedly: "That's all." Standing up.

Lu Changying asked, "What's wrong?"

Xin Wan said: "Forget it, it wasn't the fault of Sect Master Xie, but... maybe Ye Deng was really unlucky. Sect Master Xie has a strong relationship between master and apprentice, and Senior Brother Cheng is willing to sacrifice Sect Master to die. Admiration, but..." He still didn't really utter evil words, Mu Yedeng's injury, and his own actions are ultimately to blame, he just said, "I'm going back to take care of Ye Deng."

When he stood up, his hand was still in Lu Changying's palm. Lu Changying felt that his palm was still hot and cold, so he didn't feel relieved that he would go back alone. He held him back and said, "I haven't finished talking yet. Don't you want to avenge Mu Yedeng?" ?”

Xin Wan was startled, thought for a while, and had no choice but to come back and sit down.

Before Lu Changying could speak, Xie Ningzhou said, "Son, come here."

Xin Wan hesitated for a moment, and slowly went to sit beside him. Xie Ningzhou stretched out a hand to feel his pulse, frowned slightly, and said, "Bite by a snake?"

Xin Wan nodded, and Xie Ningzhou said: "The venom of the green snake is very violent. Immortal cultivators will lose their vitality after being bitten. You don't have real energy to protect yourself. Even though you have taken the antidote, you still have to take care of it."

Xin Wan could hear that his concern did not seem to be fake, and accepted the gift of a junior, and returned to the original seat, Xie Ningzhou said: "Revenge or something is fine, but since the Xuanbing Jade Snake who has cultivated three thousand karmic fires , its snake gallbladder is a good medicine for burns.”

Xin Wan said: "Is that green snake still in Bai Zhi Ze?"

Lu Changying said: "The Black Ice Snake is like entering the land of no one in Bai Zhize, but don't forget that the flying sword of the head of the seal cut off a person's arm that day. The spirit monster was seriously injured, and the first reaction was to turn into a prototype To heal his wounds, he can't come out of the water in snake form, so he built a nest in the water."

Xin Wan instantly understood what he was going to say next.

"The sudden change of water flow in Bai Zhize is probably due to this lair," Lu Changying said, "plus there are still small snakes that slipped through the net nearby... Your premonition is right, there must be something strange upstream from that place, This is the monster's lair."

He said softly: "I know you have a deep heart for Mu Yedeng's injury, so I will force Master Xie to admit this so that you can avenge Mu Yedeng." He held his hand tightly, gently He said softly: "Stop doing the stupid thing of jumping into the water to punish yourself. Maybe Mu Yedeng is more valuable to Bai Zhize than you, but you are also priceless to others."
