After becoming a Taoist partner with a junior who cultivates the ruthless way

Dark clouds cover the moon, and the shadow of the moon is hazy.

Guan Ming turned to him and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Fang waved his hand: "It's okay, maybe I saw flowers."

But it's really hard to imagine that those words just came out of Guan Ming's mouth.

Guan Ming looked down at his own hands, also puzzled, he seemed to be hugging his senior brother just now?

The two held their swords and pushed open the door of the firewood room, only to see a young man curled up in a corner, and there was no one else in there except him.

The boy's skin was unnaturally white, but his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were still patched.

No one would have imagined that a person would be locked up in the backyard of the Baijia Pharmacy.

Seeing the sabers in their hands, the boy hugged his head and kept repeating: "Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

Zhu Fang exchanged a look with Guan Ming, and he asked, "Who wants to kill you?"

The young man showed fear and trembled all over: "Fifth Brother, don't kill me, Fifth Brother, don't kill me..."

Finally, the two left the pharmacy with the boy.

Zhufang went to the kitchen to find some supper for him, and while watching him eat, he got some words out of his mouth.

From the boy's mouth, they learned his identity.

The boy's name is Bai Lian, and he is the sixth grandson of Patriarch Bai.But because she was a concubine, and her mother was born in Hualou, she was extremely unpopular in the Bai family.

Although he was handsome in appearance, Mr. Bai just didn't like him.

And the fifth elder brother mentioned by the boy is Bai Cai, the future head of the Bai family.

"You said the cabbage was going to kill you?" Seeing that he was eating deliciously, Zhu Fang found out the box of lotus cake that Hu Sui gave him, and corrected himself: "It's Bai Cai, I made a mistake just now."

Bai Lian nodded, he only picked vegetables to eat, leaving all the meat.

Then, it was Guan Ming's turn to ask, "Why did he want to kill you?"

Bai Lian didn't speak anymore.

Guan Ming cut straight to the point: "Those missing people are also responsible for him, right?"

Bai Lian still didn't speak.

Seeing that he should not respond, Zhu Fang deliberately provoked him: "He is going to kill you, but you still protect him? You really have a deep brotherhood."

Then Bai Lian moved his lips, frowned slightly, and said in a pleading tone: "If I say so, can you take me away from the Bai family and let me go to Lingshanzong?"

"Go to Lingshan Sect?" Zhu Fang asked, "Why?"

Bai Lian murmured: "I don't want to stay here anymore, I don't want to die..."

"can."

"Really?" Bai Lian looked at him suspiciously: "Does what you say count?"

"I'm the elder brother of Lingshan Sect, so of course I mean what I say."

"it is good."

Bai Lian said that Bai Cai is a bastard just like him.The two have half fathers and half mothers, and grew up together since childhood.Because of the similar age, among the many younger generations of the Bai family, their relationship is pretty good.

But the difference is that Bai Cai's character is more sensitive and timid, and his body is weaker.

"Compared to being an excellent medical trainer, Brother Wu prefers painting, poetry and poetry." Bai Lian frowned: "But, these are things that grandpa doesn't like."

Zhu Fang couldn't help interjecting: "What does this have to do with your grandfather?"

"Grandpa doesn't like timid and cowardly people, and he doesn't like those literary things. Once, grandpa almost blinded Brother Wu. Since then, I have never seen him draw again."

Hearing this, Zhu Fang couldn't help but think of when he first came to Bai's house, when Bai Cai recognized the wrong person.

"and after?"

"Later..." Bai Lian's expression was in a daze: "Later, the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother all died."

Two years ago, the third son Bai Luobo who was supposed to succeed the Patriarch died in an accident, and Bai Cai had no choice but to become the next future Patriarch.

As for the fourth son of the Bai family, if Zhu Fang remembers correctly, this fourth son is the demon king Bai Chengwu.

Once entered the Lingshan sect to cultivate immortals, they are the juniors of the head master, and they have to be called uncles in terms of seniority.

Later, he fell into the evil way somehow and became the second villain in the book.

Just as Zhu Fang was thinking, Bai Lian's voice pulled back his wandering thoughts.

"After becoming the successor head of the family, Fifth Brother became even less talkative and gradually alienated me. Only I know that he doesn't want to be the head of the family at all." Having said this, Bai Lian gritted his teeth: "Grandpa doesn't need him anymore. Kick him away when you need him, and force him to do things you don’t like when you need him.”

The two people in the room listened silently.

"It wasn't until not long ago that I realized that Fifth Brother was not the same as usual. He is still him during the day, but he seems to be a different person at night."

Since even Bai Lian said so, it seems that this is not his illusion.

Zhu Fang urged: "Keep talking."

Bai Lian said: "The fifth brother at night feels very gloomy and cold, the whole person is weird, I saw that day..."

As he spoke, he suddenly vomited.

Guan Ming handed over a cup of tea, Bai Lian took it and said thank you, while looking at him several times.

Zhu Fang asked curiously, "What did you see?"

Bai Lian took a sip of tea, and continued: "I saw him eating meat, his mouth was full of blood. All those missing people were eaten by him..."

When he said this, Bai Lian's hands holding the teacup were trembling slightly.

Zhu Fang was even more shocked.

Those people were eaten in vain? !Cannibalism? !

"This is too harsh..." Zhu Fang hurriedly poured himself a cup of tea to suppress his shock.

Guan Ming remained calm as always: "Then he locked you in the woodshed?"

Bai Lian nodded tremblingly: "Yes."

Guan Ming sized him up: "Did Bai Cai attack you directly?"

Without waiting for Bai Lian to reply immediately, Guan Ming said again: "Do you know why he became like this?"

Bai Lian shook his head: "I don't know."

After listening to their conversation, Zhufang said: "Then what should we do now? If we expose him directly, he will definitely not admit it. We already have witnesses, and the next step is physical evidence."

"Yeah." Guan Ming's eyes revealed deep thought, "But maybe it's too late."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"It's too late?" Zhu Fang was stunned: "What do you mean? Is it because Bai Lian was rescued by us?"

"There is also this reason." Guanming calmly said: "The old Patriarch Bai sent the news to Lingshan, but we have not seen him since we came to Baiyu Town. Either he is no longer alive, or he is in a very dangerous situation now."

Zhu Fang frowned: "Will Bai Cai be so determined to kill his grandfather?"

"Fifth brother may not be able to." Bai Lian said: "But the other one will definitely be."

Early in the morning.

Because of Hu Sui's appearance, his ears became noisy again, dispelling the heaviness of last night.

"Brother, who is he!" Hu Sui didn't even care about the fox ears on his head, pointing at Bai Lian who looked like a little white flower, he kept asking: "Did he sleep with brother last night too?"

Bai Lian looked at the pair of fox ears, trembling: "He, is he a monster?"

"Yeah. He's a monster, but he won't hurt people easily." After Zhufang answered his words, he turned to Hu Sui and said, "Bai Lian didn't sleep with us last night. Also, I called you here so early. I wanted to ask you for a favor."

Hu Sui's eyes lit up: "Brother, just say it!"

"Okay, I'll tell you in a moment."

Jing Xuan was also called, with a blank face like Hu Sui: "Second senior brother, who is he? From the Bai family?"

"Yeah." Guan Ming said, "Go and tell the other juniors to pack up and go back to Lingshan Sect today."

"Huh? Today?"

"Ah."

Although Jing Xuan was puzzled, he still responded: "Then I will inform them right away."

Hearing the news that they were about to leave, Bai Cai brought the butler to the wing not long after.

"Are you leaving now?" Bai Cai said, "Could it be that monster..."

"It's been confirmed, it's the monster we caught last time." Zhu Fang snatched the words and said, "Thank you Mr. Bai for your warm hospitality these few days."

Bai Cai looked at Hu Sui who was trapped, looked away, and said very politely: "Well, we should thank Mr. Zhu. If that's the case, then Bai will arrange for some people to send them back to Lingshan."

"Don't bother Mr. Bai." Zhu Fang declined his kindness, and smiled slightly: "That's right, we came to Baiyu Town under the entrustment of old Patriarch Bai. Before we came, Master Qian Dingwan Tell me, let my junior brother and I not forget to visit his old man. So I want to ask Mr. Bai, how is the old Patriarch's health today, can you go and see him?"

"Of course I can. I'm sorry for the boss, Grandpa's health is much better." After Bai Cai finished speaking, he ordered the butler: "Lead the two young masters."

They followed Bai Cai and the housekeeper to a study far away from the wing room.

An old man with white beard and hair was sitting on the master chair, looking at the dwarf pine outside the window in a daze.

"Grandpa." Bai Cai called out, walked to his side and said, "Master Zhu and his junior brother came to see you."

Bai Mifan was wearing a loose robe, and when he heard this, he slowly turned his neck.After looking at them for a while, he simply asked, "Has the monster caught it?"

Zhu Fang said: "Patriarch Bai, please rest assured, the man-eating monster has been caught by us, and we will bring it back to Lingshan in a while."

He purposely said the word 'eat people', carefully watching Bai Cai's face.

Bai Mifan nodded and said thank you, then slowly closed his eyes without making a sound.

Now that Patriarch Bai's safety was confirmed, they didn't stay any longer, and left the study after finishing the polite words.

When going out, Zhufang accidentally caught a glimpse of the bowl of bone soup on the table from the corner of his eye, and he quickly looked away with disgust.

After leaving Bai's house, Bai Cai sent them all the way out of Baiyu Town until he watched them go away.

The night is boundless, the sky and the earth are boundless.

Under the dark sky, is the ground stained with bright red blood.Skulls were piled chaotically at the feet, and the black hole-like eyes were staring straight at the evil spirit-like figure.

"They're all gone." Bai Cai looked at the white-haired old man who was tied to the grand teacher's chair, and smiled wickedly: "No one will come to rescue you."

Bai Mifan's hair is disheveled, looking haggard.He raised his lips, with a calm demeanor: "Man is doing it, the sky is watching, and you will be punished."

"Heh." Bai Cai smiled contemptuously: "The one who deserves retribution is you."

He raised his head and drank a bowl of blood, walked up to Bai Mifan, and grabbed his collar: "If it wasn't for you, would Bai Chengwu be possessed? If it wasn't for you, Big Brother and the others would die? If it wasn't for you, I would become a Like this?"

After speaking, let go of your hand and pushed him back.

Bai Mifan didn't say a word.

"This is the retribution. The Bai family will be finished soon." Bai Cai slowly drew out the dagger and waved it in front of his eyes: "You didn't expect such a day, did you?"

Bai Mifan stared at the reflection on the dagger, and finally realized after a while: "You are not Bai Cai."

Bai Cai bent her lips: "Of course I'm not him. He doesn't dare to kill you, so I won't show mercy."

After finishing speaking, the dagger aimed at Bai Mifan's eyeballs, and slowly dropped.

And where Bai Cai didn't pay attention, a stream of water crept up to his ankles.

At the same time, the youth's crisp voice sounded from the other side: "Fifth brother!"

Bai Cai's movements were interrupted midway, he turned his head stiffly, and looked at the several figures who were blocked outside the barrier.

The young man's voice seemed to wake up some memory in him. After seeing that face, the ferocity in Bai Cai's eyes subsided a little, and turned from surprise to calm: "Fortunately, Xiao Lian, it's great that you're still alive."

Bai Lian said: "Fifth brother, stop."

"I can't stop." After the ending, Bai Cai twisted his neck and changed back to the same him just now, "So you didn't leave."

This is the other courtyard behind the firewood house. No one knew that there was such a place in the Bai family.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, and besides that, there was also a strong smell of medicine.

Only then did Zhufang understand why the smell was so bad that night.

"Why?" Bai Lian asked, "Why do you torture yourself like this?"

"Do you want to know? Because..." Bai Cai laughed halfway, and suddenly hugged his head, as if falling into madness: "Because I don't want to die, the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother are all dead, and it will be my turn next." .As long as I am enchanted, I will not die..."

Sometimes he is evil and sometimes crazy, making people wonder which one is the real him.

Obsessed?

Zhu Fang said: "So, you eat their flesh and drink their blood just to gain immortality after being enchanted?"

"So what?" Bai Cai held the corner of his mouth and looked around: "Since you are all here, then no one can leave."

Seeing his murderous intent, Zhu Fang hastily moved behind Guan Ming.At this time, of course it is safest to stand behind the protagonist.

"I see, you are another Bai Cai." At this moment, Bai Mifan suddenly opened his mouth and sighed deeply: "If you want to kill me, do it."

"You want to die first? That's fine." Bai Cai's lips curled slightly: "For the sake of my grandfather and grandson's many years, I will fulfill you well and clean up your old bones."

Just when he was about to raise the dagger, a stream of water tightly grabbed Bai Cai's ankle, and at the same time wrapped around his wrist and neck like a ribbon.

Bai Cai frowned impatiently, but no matter how he waved the dagger in his hand, he couldn't cut off the water flow that hindered him.

He turned his eyes to Guanming not far away, and there was a layer of murderous intent in his eyes, watching the water condense into ice and freeze himself.

At the same time, the enchantment turned into a faint light and gradually dissipated.

Zhu Fang rubbed his chin: As expected of his junior brother, he took out the little villain with one move.

The subduing process was quite smooth, although Bai Cai's temperament changed drastically, but he was a medical practitioner after all, and his body was weak, so he was naturally no match for Guan Ming, who was born in the Sword Sect.

Zhufang poked the frozen Bai Cai, and asked Bai Mifan on the other side: "Old Patriarch, do you know what happened to him?"

"Retribution." Bai Mi spat out these two words heavily, and then said: "This is a distraction."

"Soul-splitting disease?" Hearing this, several other people also looked over: "What is soul-splitting disease? One person has two souls?"

Bai Mifan nodded: "It can be said that, but no matter which one, it is the same person."

Zhufang quickly understood, isn't this just multiple personalities?

Bai Cai has two different personalities, one cowardly and the other cruel.

And these two personalities are all him.

Thinking of Bai Cai raw eating human flesh, Zhu Fang couldn't help shivering.

Fortunately, there is no such person around him.
