Murder

Both martial arts are not weak, and when they landed, they quickly separated and jumped to two places.Chi Yebai couldn't move his right arm, and Wen Xuanzhou's left shoulder was bleeding profusely, the injuries were actually about the same.

But Chi Yebai was far more urgent than Wen Xuanzhou: as soon as he landed, he immediately rushed to Wen Xuanzhou who had not yet stabilized.

When it comes to lightness kung fu, he is much higher than Wen Xuanzhou.Jumping in the blink of an eye was just a normal thing for him, just as Wen Xuanzhou stood firm, Chi Yebai punched him in the chest.

Before the punch reached the flesh, Wen Xuanzhou had already sensed the incoming punch, but he could no longer avoid it, so he had to raise his hand to block his chest, and abruptly received Chi Yebai's punch.

Chi Yebai exerted seven strengths in this punch, only heard a click, Wen Xuanzhou's arm was broken, but the force of the punch did not dissipate, and it still hit his broken arm heavily.Wen Xuanzhou couldn't bear it anymore, his chest felt tight, and he spat out a mouthful of turbid blood.

Blood was sprayed all over Chi Yebai's face. Enduring the urge to vomit, he bent his knees and pressed Wen Xuanzhou under him, then suddenly raised his left hand.

Wen Xuanzhou's eyes widened: That sword!

The sword that threw him at Chi Yebai but missed.

The two fought, and the sword fell from midair at this moment.

Judging the location and moment when the sword fell by ear, Chi Yebai accurately grasped his own weapon.He held the hilt of the sword with his little finger, and the hilt twirled a semicircle in the palm of his hand, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Wen Xuanzhou's neck.

As long as the sword falls, Wen Xuanzhou will undoubtedly die.

At this moment, Chi Yebai still remembered the matter of Sima Feng's family: he couldn't kill Wen Xuanzhou, he could only catch him.To severely injure Wen Xuanzhou and capture Wen Xuanzhou, this is what he should do most.

But at the same moment, Chi Yebai felt a strange and strong fear.

He had murderous intentions towards Wen Xuanzhou—before he knew what was in his "room", he might have had murderous intentions towards Wen Xuanzhou.

He was a clean person, and he couldn't bear Wen Xuanzhou's use of mysterious alchemy that he didn't understand to put a "shadow" in his head.

The tip of the sword stopped three inches away from Wen Xuanzhou's neck.

Chi Yebai never made a move.If he killed Wen Xuanzhou, maybe he could get rid of his influence, but Sima Feng's family, Aunt Qing who loved him and kissed him, might be in danger.

All his thoughts were only for a moment, but Wen Xuanzhou did not let go of this moment of hesitation—his right arm bone was broken, but his left arm endured the pain and could still move.

With a sound of "Dang", Chi Yebai lightened the sword in his hand, and he was also taken aback.

Immediately, a piece of cold iron was stuck to the throat.

"Throw away the sword and stand up." Wen Xuanzhou said coldly.

Chi Yebai gasped for breath and didn't move.

Wen Xuanzhou actually grabbed the injured left arm, snapped his sword, and quickly grabbed the broken blade, holding it against his own vitals.

"Say it again..." Wen Xuanzhou gritted his teeth, "Throw away your sword, get off me, and stand up!"

The tip of the sword is sharp, and it has penetrated half of the flesh.The warm and cool liquid rolled down from the wound, and dripped into the chest against the skirt of the clothes.Chi Yebai slowly moved the sword away, threw it aside with a clang, and stood up.Wen Xuanzhou never let go of the sword in his hand, and stood up following Chi Yebai's movements.The fight that broke out in the darkness was over.

"A sword is a good sword, but a bone is also a good bone." Wen Xuanzhou said, "Just now you picked out bone fragments to use as a hidden weapon, and now I can also pick them up as a tool to break your blade."

Chi Yebai felt unspeakable annoyance and regret.He was negligent, the stockade was full of things that could be used as weapons.

Wen Xuanzhou's left shoulder seemed to be seriously injured, and he was shaking slightly while holding the sword blade in his left hand.The sharp tip moved left and right on Chi Yebai's neck, widening the gap.Chi Yebai remained silent. He didn't know whether it was Wen Xuanzhou's inability to control his injury, or Wen Xuanzhou's intention, but obviously it was most appropriate not to move.

He didn't move at all, but Wen Xuanzhou didn't dare to move either.The standoff continues.

After a moment of silence, Wen Xuanzhou suddenly spoke.

His voice changed, it was the tone that Chi Yebai used to hear from Sima Feng: soft, gentle, meticulous, and patient, it was Sima Feng's favorite tone to use when interrogating prisoners who were not difficult to deal with.

"The people, so shepherd them from the top, and go down like water, the four sides will die and choose. The husband's jewels, jade, gold and silver, the hungry can't eat..."

Chi Yebai was taken aback.He vaguely knew Wen Xuanzhou's intentions, but he couldn't help but continue the next sentence in his heart: "It's too cold to wear, but the noble ones...

However, Wen Xuanzhou's voice changed again, and he was already talking about another matter: "The military official came to Handan and established himself as the king of Zhao, Chen Yu as the general, Zhang Er and Zhao Sao as the left and right prime ministers. Chen Wangnu..."

He stopped again.

The pain in his neck did not subside, and in the heavy darkness, the fear that had been lingering in Chi Yebai's heart just now became more and more clear.

"Sitting alone in the empty hall, who can be with the patient? When you go out, you will be busy, and you won't see any carriages and horses. Ascend to look at Kyushu..." Wen Xuanzhou paused for a brief moment, as if sighing, pitifully, but his speed of speech became faster and faster." The generals are all cowardly and weak and dare not fight, but they use documents to deceive the court and actually kill the people..."

He recited very fast, there was almost no gap between the words, and they were glued together as one.

But Chi Yebai was too familiar with these words and sentences, he had read them all, he had learned them all—some of them were even read to him by Wen Xuanzhou as stories.

Wen Xuanzhou chanted upside down and stopped suddenly.

Chi Yebai's chest rose and fell as he waited blankly for his next sentence.

The darkness made him seem to return to his childhood.

"Pei Letian." Stretching out a finger and stroking Chi Yebai's chin, Wen Xuanzhou said softly, "Zhu Ping, Tong Zhengde, Peng Cheng..."

Chi Yebai's heart ached, his knees suddenly softened, and he fell to his knees.There was no weapon around his neck that could threaten his life, and there was no Wen Xuanzhou in front of him.

He was kneeling in the hallway of that dark room.The light of the lotus lantern was extremely weak, and it was extremely far away from him.Countless figures were slowly overflowing from the bookshelf, and landed beside him one by one.

They were all children who died in the Condor Eagle Camp, and now in his memory, they were resurrected one by one.

Tong Zhengde was the first, and Zhu Ping was the second.Chi Yebai hadn't seen their faces, but he clearly remembered the torture they had each suffered.Silent little figures stood by the bookshelf, stood beside him, looking down at him one by one.

Chi Yebai did not expect that he would be forced here by Wen Xuanzhou.In the past, when he entered the "room", at least he was in a relatively quiet and peaceful environment, but this is not the case now.

"Sima." He slowly stood up and called out to the distant light.

The lotus lantern was still there, but he didn't see Sima Feng.Darkness invaded a large space, and the light of the lotus lantern was very weak.

"Sima!" Chi Yebai was taken aback, quickly pushed aside the smoky crowd, and ran towards the light.The aisle was unusually long, he ran a few steps, and looked back, the figures behind him were like smoke and mist, and once again condensed into a curtain of people.

And Wen Xuanzhou, who had always been just a black shadow in his memory, finally showed his figure.

He stands behind the figures of the children and holds a candle in his hand.

"Master Chi, where is Shenying Ce?" He asked softly.

Chi Yebai covered his ears and took a deep breath: "Go away."

"Tell me where Shenying Ce is, and I'll leave." Wen Xuanzhou laughed.

"On the second shelf at 360."

"I can't get it, and I can't read it. You remember it all, recite it and tell me."

He approached Chi Yebai, and Chi Yebai backed away again and again.

"Why do you have to look for me?" Chi Yebai's voice trembled, and he yelled helplessly, "Why me!"

Wen Xuanzhou opened his mouth, and his voice echoed in every corner of the room: "Who else is there besides you?"

"Sima Liangren...you know him, why don't you just ask him!"

"Your parents checked my affairs that day, but Sima Liangren didn't know about Shenying's plan. Who else can I look for besides you? Chi Danjia? Besides Yingbeishe, there is another place on the rivers and lakes where I can find out about God's plan. Eagle strategy?"

Chi Yebai pursed his lips.Very good, he got it right: Wen Xuanzhou didn't know that Jie Zilou and Tian Ku also had information on the Shenying Policy, and he didn't know that the imperial court was re-examining the Shenying Policy.

While pretending to be afraid, he kept taking small steps back, while recalling in his mind the way Sima Feng teased him to speak, and Shen Guangming's way of deceiving others.

"I don't know, I really don't know!" Chi Yebai said loudly, "Don't come here... Please... Please, don't come here!"

When speaking, you can be a little confused, mix the truth and lies, don't be afraid of showing weakness, and try to lower the vigilance of the other party, so that it is easier to take the bait-Shen Guangming simply taught the cheater survival skills, this is what he said.Chi Yebai fell to his knees while supporting the bookshelf, gasping for breath.He was indeed afraid, and there was no need to pretend, but in this fear, he also wanted to dig out some other information from Wen Xuanzhou's mouth.

Wen Xuanzhou's voice buzzed and echoed: "You know who Pei Letian and Tong Zhengde are, how could you not know about Shenying Ce?"

"I... I didn't finish it." Chi Yebai let go of his strength, his voice was weak, "I can't finish it, it's too...too miserable."

"Yeah, it's really miserable." Wen Xuanzhou immediately picked up his words, "So you read it. You will definitely remember it after reading it. Where did you put the gold?"

"I can't remember..."

"Chi Dangjia, you are a famous Chi Dangjia in Jianghu. How can there be things in the world that you have seen but can't remember?" Wen Xuanzhou's voice was soft and sticky, "The things in the second shelf of 360th, you Go and have a look."

"I'll go...but you don't come here, and they don't come here..." Chi Yebai stood up slowly and reluctantly replied.

"Good boy." Wen Xuanzhou called him affectionately, "Have you forgotten, no one can hurt you. You are in your room, they all belong to you, and they will never hurt you. Be good, now Go and find what I want."

Chi Yebai closed his eyes.Yes, right, he actually forgot this: this is his "room", no matter how powerful Wen Xuanzhou is, it is impossible for him to enter his "room".Therefore, Sima Feng must still be here, he must be here.

He turned and walked past the bookshelves.

The light of the lotus lamp in the depths of the room is still weak.Chi Yebai looked down at his side.He knew that Sima Feng was there, and he was sure: Sima Feng must be there.He just hid for a while, masked by his own fear.With a light movement of his fingers, for the first time, he boldly and urgently repeated Sima Feng's name silently.

Even his name can give him great courage.The temperature gradually spread from the fingers, and the tender and soft little palm gradually emerged in the vast darkness.The toddler he knew and liked was holding his hand.Those are very warm hands.When held by these hands, Chi Yebai will not be afraid of falling, and Sima Feng will not let him fall.

He sighed, "Sima."

The little hands clenched vigorously, as if to give him courage and encouragement.The little boy looked up at him and said softly, "Don't be afraid, follow me."

"I really didn't see anything related to gold in Shenying Strategy." Chi Yebai communicated with him silently in his heart, "What should I do? I can't find it."

"Cheat him." The boy's voice was mature and powerful, and the childish palm was enough to wrap Sima Feng's palm at some point, "Continue to lie to him, delaying time. I'm outside, and I'm trying to save you."

Chi Yebai frowned.In the darkness where no one could see, he was finally willing to show a trace of unconcealable fear in front of Sima Feng.Fear means showing weakness, but Sima Feng would not laugh at him, would not ridicule him.

"Why am I always afraid of Wen Xuanzhou's shadow?" He asked in a low voice, "Compared to being killed by him, I am more afraid of him."

At this time, outside the bone village, the strong wind and rainstorm have stopped.

Sima Feng and Qing Yuanzi stood on the stone beam, looking at each other.

Just when the wind was getting weaker, both of them heard a scream coming from the bone village.

But the sound of wind and rain was too chaotic, Sima Feng thought it was Chi Yebai's voice, but Qing Yuanzi was not sure.Tang Ou and others vaguely heard it, but they were not sure if it was a human voice.

Sima Feng was full of worries: "Senior, I think this village is too weird, we can't wait for dawn."

"It's been too long to wait for dawn." Both Song Beiyan and Shen Guangming agreed, "Let's find a way to open a hole? If you are afraid of some mechanism in the village, you can think of a way to find out first."

Tang Ou asked them both: "What way?"

Shen Guangming: "...I didn't think about it."

Tang Ou: "These trees are messy, can we tear them all off? Some are too tall and too big, only Shen Guangming and I will do it, I'm afraid it's too late."

Qing Yuanzi glanced at him: "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with these trees?"

"Although the growth of the trees is different, the crowns of the trees are tall and dense, and they all cover the top of the bone village. We can't even see how many floors there are in the bone village." Tang Ou replied, "Maybe there is a passage on the top, but it is entangled by trees. covered, hard to spot."

Tian Ku interjected: "No, there is only one entrance to Guguzhai..."

"I'll try it." Qing Yuanzi shook his head, "Maybe this village has been altered by someone. You read it in the book, but it doesn't have so many trees entangled with it?"

Tian Ku thought for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Indeed."

Qing Yuanzi jumped a few times and jumped to the second floor of the bone village.Although he often played here, he didn't take a close look at the growth of the trees here, and now he was reminded by Tang Ou that he realized that it was a bit strange.He carried the Huachun Jue, and pressed his palms tightly on the tree trunk.

Not long after, I saw that the originally lush treetops were rapidly decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the leaves turned yellow and withered one after another.
