different paths

When he was young, he was as low as dust, living as cheap as mud, for Gu Yiming, it was a nightmare that he would never forget.At that time, someone told him that no matter what he was asked to do, he would be willing to help him escape.Even if what he was asked to do was to subvert Chao Gang, he didn't care.The identity of the royal family did not bring him any warm memories, only humiliation and pain, such an identity, it is worth noting.For such a bloodline, he has no gratitude, only hatred. If he was only born in an ordinary family, how could he let others learn from him, comparable to an ant.

But later, as he grew up, he gradually became a little disappointed with the person who extended his helping hand.No matter how clever that person's methods are, he still cannot escape the fate of an ordinary person. He will also fail, suffer setbacks, be deceived by others, and be dazzled by strong emotions.

disappointment.Full of disappointment.

That being the case, Jiangshan might as well sit by himself.

Gu Yiming's misty eyes gradually converged again, and he changed the subject and said, "Since you have investigated the case of Jiutou Zhangsong, you must know that there was a Nan Guifei in the previous court, right?"

Jia Wujue didn't answer directly, but hesitated for a moment, and said, "I wonder if she has an older brother or a younger brother who is on good terms with Emperor Ruizhao?"

"Oh?" Gu Yiming's phoenix eyes flashed a sharp light, "How do you know about this?"

Jia Wuju lowered his eyes, it seemed that his guess was correct, the young general hidden in the picture of the emperor hunting in the Yanzhou city treasury was indeed blood relative to Concubine Nan Gui from Guli Kingdom.

Seeing that the other party didn't want to say more, Gu Yiming didn't continue to ask, but instead said in a lighter voice: "Since you already know about this, I can save myself some tongues. You must also know that Concubine Nan Gui comes from Guli Kingdom. Her original name was Nanka Quzhen, and she had a biological younger brother named Nanka Cuo. When the Guli Kingdom presented her to Emperor Ruizhao, her younger brother was also presented at the same time."

Jia Wuju's eyebrows twitched when he heard the words: "Why?"

"Who knows?" Gu Yiming sneered, "Maybe it's some kind of alien tradition? Or maybe he thought Emperor Ruizhao was just like his father, he didn't care about meat and vegetables, and he was afraid that just a young girl wouldn't be able to please the emperor, and with the bone Wei Open male and female juveniles as insurance."

"How did Emperor Ruizhao react at that time?"

"It is said that when Emperor Ruizhao saw that the young Nankacuo was also being offered to the palace, he was furious." Gu Yiming said leisurely, "Not only did he scold the envoy of the Guli Kingdom who came to offer it bloody. , Even the officials in charge of related matters have been demoted and their salaries have been reduced.”

"This old emperor is not bad." Jia Wu said bullyingly.

"Naturally, Emperor Ruizhao is famous for his integrity and integrity." Gu Yiming smiled, "Otherwise, when Emperor Ruizhao abdicated, there wouldn't be so many people crying."

Jia Wujue did not expect that the emperor in the painting with a dragon and a phoenix would have such a high reputation among the people. It is no wonder that some people want to be by his side even if they hide their bodies.

"Since Emperor Ruizhao didn't want Nankacuo to enter the palace, how did the two of them get on good terms?" Jia Wuju asked.

"Emperor Rui Zhao didn't bring Nankacuo into the harem, but sent him to the army. I'm afraid he wanted him to go through some training and establish a career as a man. This Nankacuo is also very competitive. After struggling for a while, he took the initiative to request to go to Jialing Pass next to Yanzhou City to guard the border." Gu Yiming paused, and then said, "In just a few years, with his outstanding military exploits, he became the most powerful man in the court. A young general. Emperor Ruizhao loves him very much. Every time he is rewarded, he has to personally pick out the rewards. When hunting, he is also called by name to ask him to participate. In addition, after Concubine Nan Gui was favored, Emperor Ruizhao was afraid that she would be homesick, so he often called Nanka Cuo entered the palace to have an audience, came and went, and everyone naturally saw that the relationship between Emperor Rui Zhao and this little Nanka general is extraordinary."

As soon as these words came out, all the questions that had troubled Jia Wujue for a long time finally had the answers——

With such a deep friendship, if one abdicates and dies, how will the other react?

He comes from the Western Regions and believes in Shiva, so the most traditional sacrificial mode is still preserved in the cave of His Excellency the Sword.Gu Li and Mengle belong to the same family, and he also knows how to cultivate the corpse flowers from Mengle, so there will be traces of corpse flowers in Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and Longyuan Villa.The most important thing is that the people he wants to walk side by side die at the beginning of the new dynasty, which is enough for him to develop a subversive heart——

Nankacuo, who came to the Central Plains from afar in the past, was isolated and helpless. Over the past few decades, he has become the mighty Tianxuan Master in the Central Plains martial arts, but the person he cared about has long since passed away, and the only thing he can do is revenge.

But there seems to be something that doesn't make sense.If it is true what Gu Yiming said, Emperor Ruizhao is really a wise and sensitive monarch, so how could he be willing to be coerced by others to write an abdication edict?If he hadn't been forced to abdicate, then what was the reason for the bloody palace change in Tianxuan's memory?

Jia Wujue felt that Gu Yiming didn't tell the whole truth, but it was enough for him to sort out everything that happened in the past, so he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, brother."

Gu Yiming smiled meaningfully: "Why don't Wuju ask, why do I want to tell you these old things?"

"Senior brother is beautiful in appearance, so naturally his heart is also beautiful." Jia Wujue turned his eyes like a dab of paint, and replied.

Gu Yiming showed a rather regretful expression and said: "No, no. I'm telling you this, I just want to explain one thing." He paused for a moment, his smile slightly faded, "Tianxuan's trip is bound to win Why do you want to use your mantis as a car and lose your life for nothing?" He glanced at Jia Wujue, saw that the other party was about to speak, and continued, "I understand what Wujue is thinking at this moment. You have made such a choice. It's just for that one person. But does Wu Hao know that the whole chess game that Tianxuan set up is also for that one person?"

"What do you mean?" Jia Wuchai frowned.

"During the palace change, one of the chosen attendants survived, and she was pregnant at that time..." Gu Yiming suddenly changed his mind when he said this, "Have you ever thought about why Tianxuan took so much pains to serve that person?" If you are famous, why do you have to take your life? It stands to reason that the disciples of Shaolin Southern Sect and the disciples of Zhaixinggumen are all his disciples, even if there is a difference in closeness, how can one help each other in every possible way and the other want to get rid of it quickly?"

Naturally, it was because that person, besides his disciple, had a more important identity.

Jia Wujue said in a difficult tone: "Could it be that Tianxuan wants to help the descendant of the chosen servant...to the throne..."

"It was originally planned like this." Gu Yiming clicked his tongue, "It's a pity, it's a pity that your appearance disrupted the plan." He glanced at Jia Wu and said, "Do you know what the real name of Emperor Ruizhao is?"

Jia Wuchai shook his head blankly.

"Murong Li."

Yue Shentan's Shen Tan word, take one side of each, it is Mu Rong, the surname and first name are reversed - Mu Rongyue.

Murong Li, Yue Chentan, so it is.

Jia Wuju murmured: "It turns out that Shen Tan is—"

"Now you should understand that no matter what, that person is not the same as you." Gu Yiming interrupted him, "His identity is too sensitive for the previous court or the current court, you Do you really want to be involved in the bloodbath with him?"

Hearing his words, Jia Wujue shook his head silently, and said to Gu Yiming one by one: "No matter what Shen Tan's status is, it will not affect the meaning of Shen Tan to me. As long as Shen Tan still needs me, I will will always be by his side.”

"Really?" Gu Yiming smiled noncommittally, "What if you don't need him anymore?"

Jia Wukai's eyes flickered: "Why did you say that, brother?"

Gu Yiming let out a "huh" and didn't answer directly, but looked up at the starry sky, and said to himself: "The star picker is rotated every five years, do you know why?"

"When it's time to work for Guzhong, you can return to a normal life and be freed from being a star picker." Jia Wujue told what he had heard before.

"Should I say that you are innocent or stupid?" Gu Yiming raised his eyebrows, "Let me ask you, every task that the star picker did after leaving the valley is an extremely secret thing. If it were you, Will you let people who know many of your secrets roam free and ignore you?"

Hearing this, Jia Wuzhen's complexion became a little ugly.You must know that although the Star Pickers have changed for several generations, the Star Picker Valley has always been an unexplorable secret among all schools and factions in the Jianghu.What kind of person can protect the secret so well?

Gu Yiming saw through his thoughts, and directly pointed out: "In this world, besides the dead, there is another type of people who can do it." When he spoke, a deep smile appeared on his face, and his pair of phoenix eyes were icy and cold. , "That's the person who doesn't know the secret."

How can a person who already knows many secrets become a person who does not know the secrets?

Jia Wuzhen's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly understood the meaning of Gu Yiming's sentence "If you don't need him anymore".

"Death is not cruel, and it comes easily." Gu Yiming's tone was soft, as if telling a beautiful story, "Zhaixing Valley can stand in the martial arts world for many years, so why choose to use death to keep a secret? They Of course, the method is much better than death."

Death is just a light excuse that can be used to explain all causes and effects.

What is more painful and unrelieved than death is forgetting.

"Have you ever heard of 'Happy Meeting'?" Gu Yiming asked.

"Never."

"Although you haven't heard of it, you have already eaten it."

Jia Wuchai immediately understood: "Could it be a kind of medicine?"

"It's not stupid to be bullied." Gu Yiming's tone actually carried a bit of approval, "Everyone who enters the valley will be given this medicine in their diet. As for the body, there is no harm." He smiled coldly, " It’s just that the drug will kick in after the five-year period expires. The drug’s properties are not too strong, and it will first forget some long-term things, and as the drug’s properties gradually spread, it will eventually erase all memories.”

When we meet each other with respect and wine, we are happy to turn around and smile.

Jia Wukai thought of the imprint on the back of Suo Luzheng's ear, and he was probably one of the people who got "liberation" through a happy meeting.All kinds of things from yesterday will not leave any traces after they "liberate".Happy, sad, those joyful encounters, those painful partings, all turned into clouds and drifted away, and no one was spared.Suo Luzheng is like this, Gu Yiming is like this, even he himself may be like this.

"Brother, your memory..." Jia Wujue suddenly realized that his leaving the valley already meant that Gu Yiming no longer had the identity of a star picker, so the dormant happiness in his body should also start to break out.

"You guessed right, I can't remember what you looked like when you were young now." Although Gu Yiming showed regret, his tone was somewhat understated, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.As he said that, he changed the subject, "What you should worry about now is not me, but yourself. When all the common experiences are erased, the person surnamed Yue is just a stranger to you, and you are nothing to the person surnamed Yue." , I'm afraid it's just an old friend who has completely forgotten the past."

Seeing Jia Wujue's face gradually turning pale, Gu Yiming's mouth curled into a cruel arc: "Have you heard the story of Venerable Pu Yanguang? Before the Venerable Pu Yanguang was enlightened, he was pure-hearted and resigned." A practitioner of desire, when he was about to achieve greatness, he left the place of pure cultivation and came to the world. A woman who opened a pottery shop fell in love with him and tried every means to seduce him, wanting to go to the cloud with him. He once He refused again and again until the woman mutilated herself with a broken piece of pottery and forced her to die, threatening that if he did not make love with her, she would die in front of him. Venerable Pu Yanguang had no choice but to swear to God that he had to for some reason Breaking the precepts to save people, may the Buddha be merciful and fulfill the woman's wish, and she is willing to go to hell to suffer. After three months, the woman was satisfied, and finally let the Venerable Pu Yanguang go. It was only after the Venerable Pu Yanguang became a Bodhisattva that he realized that That woman is a catastrophe that I must go through when I save others, and only after this action can I complete my merits and virtues."

Speaking of this, Gu Yiming looked straight at Jia Wujue with a sharp gaze and said, "Tell me, if you lose all your memory, and you go around and go back to the original point, will the surname Yue be like that? Venerable Pu Yanguang generally thinks that this catastrophe has passed, and he can prove the Dao? For him, the myriad of emotions you think are just a catastrophe that must be experienced when entering the world? After the catastrophe, it is natural to be different Wide, all unrelated."

Speaking of this, he thought he would see Jia Wujue's shaken expression, but things backfired. Although Jia Wujue was pale, his eyes were shining with persistence: "I don't know if the previous star pickers knew that their memories would disappear. Exhausted, now that I know it, I will never wait to die." His voice was clear and powerful, "It is ridiculous enough to let a mere medicine erase important memories, if you do nothing and let the memories disappear, wouldn't it be even worse? Make fun of me?"

Thinking of Suo Luzheng's lost step before, Jia Wujue said again: "Memory can be erased, but body instinct can't deceive people. Maybe I don't have memory, I don't remember what happened, but instinct will tell me , like or dislike a person, attachment or repulsion. Besides, fashion with a healthy memory needs to write down key things on paper. If I know that my memory will disappear, I will naturally record every bit of what I cherish.” Speaking of this, he smiled, "Sometimes, vague memories may deceive people, but black and white words can't."

Gu Yiming was silent for a while, and then put on Jia Wukai's familiar smile: "Many things are always easy to say, but very difficult to do. That's all," he stepped back, turning the strange stone behind him as the eye of the formation. Let it out, "Since you want to try, try it."

Seeing that he had handed over the formation to himself so decisively, Jia Wuchai said in disbelief, "Won't Senior Brother stop me?"

"If I stop you, will you obey me obediently?" Gu Yiming smiled, but there was a trace of sadness on his face, which was fleeting.

Jia Wuhai didn't care to look at Gu Yiming's expression, and walked straight towards the strange rock.Looking around, the stone seems to have been transported here from somewhere, and there should be a mechanism inside that affects the entire Eight Formation Diagram.He tapped his hand on the stone and listened until he heard a hollow sound—

It is here.

Jia Wukai stretched out his hand and pressed hard, and sure enough, he heard several "clicks", and the boulder in front of him cracked into several regular shapes and fell to the surroundings.His face brightened, and he was about to turn around and leave when his feet suddenly emptied, and the originally solid ground suddenly cracked, and he fell straight down.

This is a trap.

A senior brother has already set a trap.

The surroundings of the trap were smooth, and he had nowhere to draw his strength. He tried his best to raise his breath, but when he saw Gu Yiming's tight lip line, several iron chains suddenly jumped out from the bottom of the trap. With a sharp silver claw on his head, he grabbed it straight at him.Just when Silver Claw was about to strangle his ankle, a fire dragon gun fell from the sky——

"Catch it!" Suo Luzheng plunged into the trap and lifted Jia Wuzhen from the siege of Silver Claws.

As soon as Jia Wujue's toes touched the ground, he saw Gu Yiming approaching Suo Luzheng.Suo Luzheng waved his gun, turned his back to Jia Wu and said: "Brother Jia, go, I will deal with this person."

Gu Yiming sneered, turned his fists into claws, and grabbed him straight in the face: "Overestimate your strength!"

Now is not the time to linger, Jia Wuba suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, took a last look at his senior brother, turned around and left quickly.

Jia Wujue ran all the way according to the route of breaking the formation, and when he reached the mountain where Jingmen was located, he heard a burst of swords, guns and sticks in front of him.He leaped onto the tree trunk with a cat waist, looked from a distance, and saw several monks fighting in the open space in front of him.From a glance, both sides in the scuffle are monks wearing straw sandals, and the kung fu they use is Shaolin internal kung fu, and the two leaders, Jia Wuchai, happen to know each other.The one who used the fist was Master Xingzheng who was the leader of the Shaolin team in Liufan Mountain, and the one who used the magic pestle was Monk Fayan, one of the Four Great King Kongs in Shaolin.Jia Wujue still remembers the skills that Monk Fa Yan showed at the Sword Appreciation Conference, that is, at that time, Yue Chentan broke his indestructible hard qigong with softness, and Master Xingzheng, one of the three great masters of the martial arts, master Yudu. Passing on disciples personally, the skills should not be underestimated.Hearing only a few muffled sounds of "bang bang", Master Xingzheng used his arms as a shield to defuse the attack of the falling magic pestle, and his arms were not injured at all.

But they are all Shaolin sects, why are they fighting here?

Jia Wukai thought for a moment, could it be because Shaolin had already noticed about Tianxuan?

Shaolin is divided into two sects, the Northern and Southern sects, each sect's head does its own thing. Although Tian Xuan is the master of the Southern sect, he can't interfere with Master Tianjing of the Northern sect.If Tianxuan wanted to incite Shaolin disciples to fight against the imperial court together, Master Tianjing would probably not allow it.

Just as he was thinking, Jia Wujue heard Monk Fayan yell, "Where is Master Tianjing being imprisoned by you, don't hesitate to recruit him!" It pierced through the surrounding air, made a sound like a crack, and swung towards Master Xingzheng's upper plate without hesitation.Xingzheng flashed on the spot, shook one palm upwards, and the whole arm was like a long bow stretched to the full, released at the moment of tension, the strong wind mixed with the wind of the palm, and went straight to meet the descending magic pestle.

"boom!"

The two strands of true energy struck each other, and the condensed internal force spread out to the surroundings. All the Shaolin disciples who were fighting together were shaken to the point where they couldn't stabilize themselves.But Xingzheng and Fayan rushed to the two sides in response to the sound, and when the sound disappeared, the two were separated by several feet, still in the shape of a loose body, motionless.

After doing this, Jia Wujue roughly understood that Master Xingzheng might have been taken under Tianxuan's seat, while Monk Fayan found something strange and came to stop him.That being the case, might as well help him out.

Jia Wujue was about to jump from the top of the tree when he heard Monk Fayan's voice resounding in his mind: "Little brother, I don't need your help here, go to the gate of death and help my brother Yue."

The Gate of Death is the last checkpoint of the formation. If one wants to successfully break through the formation, one must break through the eyes of the seven gates in front of the formation to pass through the Gate of Death.Jia Wujue was about to ask about the situation of the other sects, when he heard Fa Yan say again: "You don't need to worry about the little brothers elsewhere. The whole family of the Sa family entered the battle from the Sheng gate and fought all the way here. The Sa family met Elder Qiu first, and he will Tell the Sajia about your plan, and then lead a group of disciples to confront Zhuang Bigou and others from the Clean Clothes Sect. After Mei and Luo broke the second gate, Ben walked with the Sajia and others. At the end of the day, the two of them let Sajia and others go ahead. Yan Shizhu met Wudang Han Lingzi and his party in Xiumen, and the Sajia wanted to help, but Yan Shizhu said that there was no need, and the Sajia thought that Han Lingzi was just a joke Hua Huajiao is no match for Lord Benefactor. According to the Sha family, we have held back the men and horses in ambush among the seven gates, but no one knows about the death gate, so the little brother should hurry to go."

Although Jia Wuchai didn't know how to pass sound into secrets, he expected that Yan Yan would be able to see his movements, so he nodded heavily, and fled in the direction of the gate of death.The grass and trees under his feet flew like light and shadow, and the moonlight was dim. He felt a little anxious. If Yue Chentan, who was alone, was really ambushed by many people...

Shen Tan, wait for me.

He gritted his teeth and tried to widen his red eye sockets, not wanting to show his weakness at this critical moment.

Passing through the dense forest, he came to the formation governed by the Gate of Death.The moon is as cool as water, flowing in the valley, reflecting the strange coldness of the rocks on both sides, without a trace of warmth.Walking along the mountain path, a dark cave suddenly appeared in front of him.Jia Wujue lit the firewood he had collected along the road with the flint he carried with him, and with a little spark, he lowered his body and got into the cave.

The sound of "tick tock" and "tick tock" water rang in his ears, and with a few gleams of light, he vaguely felt that he was walking deep underground.This cave is probably an authentic exit.

The colder the tunnel was, the colder it was, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, and with a "push", the torch in Jia Wuchai's hand was extinguished, and the whole person was plunged into boundless darkness.

He stretched out his hand, tentatively touched the stone wall on the next side, and was about to grope forward when suddenly, a strange laughter came from not far away.

"whee……"

"Ha ha……"

"Ha ha……"

The malicious laughter was mixed with echoes one after another, lingering in the tunnel, Jia Wukai couldn't help shivering a few times, feeling the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.He didn't take a few steps forward, when he suddenly felt the wind of his sleeves waving behind him, he turned around abruptly, it was pitch black, and there was no one there.

After calming down, he took a few steps forward gently——

"Whee!"

A shrill laughter suddenly sounded in his ears, he turned around "whoosh", as if a black shadow flashed before his eyes, and then disappeared into the darkness.

"Who is pretending to be a ghost!" Jia Wuhao shouted bravely.

For a long time, no one answered.

Just when he decided to light the torch again, he heard a soft "click", and a few ray of moonlight leaked in front of him.In the dim light, several human-shaped black shadows floated in the air, their feet swaying like a hanged dead man.

"Giggle—" a voice kept laughing.

Echoes came from all directions, Jia Wujue couldn't tell the source of the sound, but in the high tension, he smelled a smell of saltpeter.At this moment, a black shadow hanging in the air approached him with lightning speed, and when he saw the cold star, he dodged short, and made several "ding ding" sounds, and several silver shuttles were deeply nailed into the stone wall .Through the moonlight, he vaguely saw the appearance of the person who came, and couldn't help being shocked——

Fang Pojia, with a strange smile on his face, was attacking him.

No, to be precise, it should be a puppet wearing Fang Pojia's face, using Fang Pojia's best armor-piercing hand to attack Jia Wuhai.

This puppet is made of unknown material, and its appearance is the same as that of a real person, except that a piece of bloody human skin is hung on its head, and the human skin is pulled and fixed into a specific arc, which looks extremely terrifying.Every move of the puppet sparked sparks, especially when a gust of palm wind swayed, the smell of saltpeter lingering in Jia Wuhai's nose became stronger.

Jia Wukai had no doubt that if he hit this puppet with his palm, it would cause a big explosion.

He has long heard that in this puppet show, the most mysterious thing is the medicine puppet, not only because there are few people who can make medicine puppets, but also there are only a handful of craftsmen who can flexibly operate this puppet.For most people, this medicinal puppet is just a trick that exists in ancient books.Some people speculated that the medicine puppet took the word "medicine" because its actions were driven by gunpowder. Jia Wu felt that what he encountered today was probably this extremely rare medicine puppet, which was also a flexible gunpowder bag.

He couldn't even hit him, and Jia Wujue had to dodge for a while while his thoughts were spinning.But just as he dodged another armor-piercing attack from "Fang Pojia", a sudden chill came from the back of his neck, and he jerked into the air, narrowly avoiding the two spears that aimed at the back of his head. finger--

Drink blood finger.

Zhang Qiuzhi's face was peeled off and nailed to the face of the puppet in front of him. With hollow eye sockets and raised mouth corners, he showed an exaggerated smile at Jia Wuchai.The primer that ignited the gunpowder made a "hissing" sound, "Zhang Qiuzhi" and "Fang Pojia" with stiff smiles on their faces, one attacked Jia Wukai's upper body and the other attacked his lower body.The road ahead was blocked, Jia Wujue's breath sank, and he fell straight down like a thousand catties. The two puppets shot very fast. Even if Jia Wujue was quick-witted, his scalp could barely brush against "Fang Pojia" There was a burning pain in the sleeves.

As soon as he stood still, two black figures rushed over from above his back.One is waving a crutch with a dragon head, and the other is holding a white porcelain vase. They are exactly "Mu Qianli" and "Du Yi".Seeing "Du Yi" slanting the mouth of the white porcelain bottle, Jia Wujue said inwardly that he was bad, and he couldn't keep avoiding it.Longtouguai's attack could be dodged, but once the Phantom Scatter in the bottle of "Du Yi" floated into the air, he would be unable to dodge it.But in the face of the pincer attack of these four people, he can't rashly hit the opponent's body, what should he do...

A flash of inspiration flashed in Jia Wuhai's mind, and he thought of a countermeasure.With a flash of his figure, he jumped straight to the arm in front of "Fang Pojia" and "Zhang Qiuzhi".In this position, if "Zhang Qiuzhi" wants to use the blood-drinking finger to deal with him, he has to move forward an inch, while "Fang Break Armor" can use the silver shuttle, but cannot directly hit him with the palm.

The prey was right in front of him, how could "Zhang Qiuzhi" and "Fang Pojia" let him escape, and immediately attacked.But no matter how they moved forward, the distance between Jia Wuzhen and them was always at an arm's length, and just like that, they were pulled back from the sky to the ground.After landing, the puppet's movement became more agile, and it can be said that he did not give up an inch in pursuit of Jia Wujue.Jia Wujue retreated and backed away, like a stringer, leading the two puppets to a dark corner.

With a sound of "huh", Longtouguai brought a strong wind from behind Jia Wujue, and in front of Jia Wujue, the palms of the two had already pressed to his chest.Seeing that the true energy had cut a piece of fabric on Jia Wukai's chest, his figure suddenly flattened, his chest and abdomen were sunken inward, as if all the air in his body had been exhausted, his whole body was like a piece of paper, and he was squeezed out of the gap. flash out.

There was a loud bang, sparks splashed everywhere.

The four medicine puppets collided together and were blown to pieces.

The tunnel was filled with dust and gunpowder smoke. Jia Wuchai held his breath and ran forward.He was sure that the person who manipulated the puppet of the medicine law must be not far away.

Sure enough, not long after walking, a jasper flute stood in front of him.

Jia Wujue looked at the person coming, and said slowly: "How should I address Your Excellency, Lin Luanpo, or Ye Zanghua?"

Ye Zanghua smiled, and said indifferently, "People are like dust, so what's the difference?"

"Then, in your opinion, what is important?" Jia Wu deceived.

Ye Zanghua said slowly: "For me, there is nothing important in this world. But for you, it may not be the case." He sighed, "But you don't know, this world is very important to you." Your important things will kill you sooner or later."

"Oh?" Jia Wuchai tilted his head, "But looking at Master Ye, he seems to be alive and well."

The word "Master Ye" touched something in Ye Zanghua's heart, his pupils shrank suddenly, and the flute in his hand suddenly shot.His strikes were as fast as lightning, and the angle was even more tricky and ruthless. When Jia Wuyu didn't notice, the sharp blades that protruded from both ends of the flute cut the back of his hand, and the blood was dripping.

Jia Wuhai ignored the pain, rubbed the back of his hand against the robe, fixed his eyes on Ye Zanghua's movements, ready to go.Ye Zanghua did not launch an attack for a long time, but the moment Jia Wujue blinked, the jasper flute stabbed at Jia Wujue's eyes with a murderous aura.Jia Wukai spun his feet, and Ye Zanghua twisted his wrist along with it. The tip of the knife brushed Jia Wukai's temples, and a lot of broken hair fell down one after another.Jia Wujue made a dodge, trying to dodge behind Ye Zanghua, but Ye Zanghua sneered, shook his wrist with a "swish", and threw the flute straight at Jia Wujue's back, but the whole person turned over and jumped, It happened to stand in front of Jia Wuhai.In desperation, Jia Wuhai tilted his head to avoid the fife nailed behind his head, but he couldn't avoid Ye Zanghua's chest slap.

Jia Wujue felt as if his internal organs had been shattered, and he fell heavily on the ground, his chest was suddenly choked, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".

Ye Zanghua stood not far away with her arms folded, looking at him as if she was already looking at a dead person.

Jia Wujue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and stood up staggeringly: "Why did Master Ye suddenly stop?"

Ye Zanghua smiled slightly: "Since I'm going to die sooner or later, why should I bother?"

"Sooner or later, I will die..." Jia Wujue repeated his words, grinning, "For the sake of my time is approaching, can Master Ye clear up Jia's doubts?"

Ye Zanghua's eyes moved: "Please tell me."

"At the Taichong Sword Sect that day, the 'poisoned wine' that Master Ye drank before feigning death, was it his own medicine?"

"So what?"

"That's weird," Jia Wujue showed a hint of doubt on his face, "Brother Yue and I accused him of poisoning you to death with poison in the wine before we fought against Chai, but he didn't refute it." As he said, he Staring straight at Ye Zanghua, "Master Ye knows, why?"

Ye Zanghua's unchanging smile finally revealed a bit of disbelief.

Jia Wujue went on to say: "There is one more thing that I have been unable to understand. When it comes to imitating human moves, it is naturally easier for those with deep skills to imitate those with weak skills. That day you used the Fuye Panhua Sword to take Zhu Jie's moves. Hui's life, Master Chai imitated your move and took the life of Daoist Tai Yin, but the sword wound he left was completely different from the one you left. Why? It is better to stab a two-inch deep wound with a sword It's easier to penetrate the chest, but why did Sect Master Chai choose the latter?"

Ye Zanghua couldn't hold back her smiling face at this moment, she looked confused and confused.Ye Zanghua always thought that Chai Lingqing was just treating him as a scapegoat, but the two questions Jia Wujue asked showed that the other party intended to clear his suspicions for him.Whether it is love, hatred, use, or sympathy between them, it is completely unclear.

"Haha——" Ye Zanghua burst out laughing suddenly, and a crazy smile appeared on her delicate face.His laughter became louder and louder, shaking the whole stone path to hum, and also shaking Jia Wuhai's meridians, a fishy sweetness came out of his throat, and he almost spit out another mouthful of blood.Jia Wuyu forced himself to support his body, and saw Ye Zanghua's red eyes, blue veins on her neck, and long hair scattered, faintly obsessed.

"Chai Lingqing——" Ye Zanghua raised her head and let out a long cry, the sound was desolate and desperate, but with unstoppable true energy, it swept through the tunnel inside and out. "Boom" "Boom", huge stones fell from above, cutting off Jia Wuzhen's sight.

The tunnel collapsed.

After the roar, there was a violent explosion.Even though Jia Wujue had already walked several feet away, the powerful arrogance generated by the explosion still rushed towards him like a tiger, crushing him to the ground.After a while, he got up from the ground in a dusty state, and looked back, the tunnel no longer existed, replaced by a pile of rocks piled up, looking from a distance, it looked like a huge tomb.

He was silent for a while, sighed, turned and walked forward——

There, there is a long-abandoned house.The door frame was rotten and the courtyard was barren, but in the main hall, there was a faint glow of fire.Accompanied by Ye Xiao's long and short chirps, he pushed the door open and entered.

Before a stick of incense.

The old man who had already been exhaling more breath and less intake was thrown to the ground. He was dressed in a dragon robe, but his hair was disheveled, his eyes were dull, his face was black, and he looked like he was about to die.

The person who had been waiting in the room for a long time said coldly, "Why did you bring him here?" His tone was cold, without any emotion.The beating candlelight illuminates his figure. He is as tall as a bamboo, with a bony body, and two bright red cinnabar moles looming on his brows and forehead. It is Tianxuan.

The visitor replied with a smile: "It is said that the things Master asked me to find were hidden by him. Right now he is so stupid that I can't ask any questions, so I have to bring him here for Master to interrogate. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in dragon robe who was muttering on the ground suddenly raised his head and stared at the speaker like a monster. It's doing something for someone else.

Xue Zhanyi smiled at him and said: "You old man, if you don't have other plans, how many people do you think are willing to serve you with your dirty and consumptive body?"

The son of heaven, who was entangled in illness, sat paralyzed on the ground, opened his mouth to speak, but could only make a breathy sound of "ho ho".

After a stick of incense.

As the door was pushed open with a "squeak", the tense atmosphere in the room was suddenly broken.As soon as Jia Wuchai took a step towards the threshold, he was sucked into the room by a huge internal force, and then the smell of benzoin wafted through his nose, his eyes suddenly turned black, and when he regained his clarity, a long and sharp knife had already across his neck.

"Don't move." Xue Zhanyi's voice came from behind him.

He collected himself, and only then did he see the situation in the room clearly.In the center of the main hall, Yue Chentan was standing with swords drawn, facing the old monk with evil eyes, probably it was Tian Xuan.Beside the two, an old man in a yellow robe fell to the ground with a painful face.And the other behind him
