after silence

Yu must have a good understanding of Gu Shu. Just looking at the ferocious aggressiveness of those bugs just now, how could they all be silenced?

Zhan Lingxian seemed to know that I didn't believe it, so he said, "There are only about [-] households in Nanjiang Gu Village, because there are very few people who have contact with the outside world, and the villagers are all pure and kind. Raising Gu is only for curing diseases, and it is not used at all. harm."

I looked up at Zhan Lingxian with a slight smile, and said, "Leader Zhan, even if these are true, how did you know them?"

Seeing my puzzled expression, Zhan Lingxian sighed and nodded for a moment, and then he narrated the old events decades ago.

It turned out that when Zhan Lingxian was young, he traveled and passed through southern Xinjiang, and fell in love with a woman in southern Xinjiang at first sight.The two of them couldn't help but taste the forbidden fruit.At that time, Zhan Lingxian was already a husband, thinking of his lovely wife at home, and looking at the beauty beside him, Zhan Lingxian gritted his teeth and made a decision.

That night, he packed his bag and watched the woman who had been with him for several months step out of the room resolutely.Because he couldn't bear it, Zhan Lingxian walked back to the village in the middle of the night, but when he returned to the village at dawn, the village had been turned into ruins. Looking at the jade pendant given to her by Zhan Lingxian...

Mentioning this past event, Zhan Lingxian had a look of guilt on his face, and a little bit of tears in his tiger eyes.

"Not long after, my wife left me shortly after giving birth to Hua'er, because I was ashamed of my wife and Hua'er as well as Yan Die. Over the years, I have never remarried, and I have worked hard to raise Hua'er by myself." Said. Zhan Lingxian raised his head and looked at me, his eyes were full of pleading, "Young Master Dongfang, please don't keep the words I said to you today in front of Hua'er, I don't want him to hate me."

Thinking of Zhan Yuehua's character, I nodded.

"But Leader Zhan, it seems that the accident of Lord Yan has nothing to do with these past events?"

Zhan Lingxian understood my question, turned to look at me, his expression had returned to normal.

"To tell the truth, the young master, I have seen the bugs we just saw in the courtyard before in southern Xinjiang. I have seen Yan Die use those bugs to treat a villager who was poisoned by snake poison before. Yan Die once said , these insects are ferocious by nature, and they are even worse when they see blood, if you don't pay attention, they will easily harm the victim."

"So, those people in the Gu Village in Southern Border didn't die? I heard that controlling Gu is not easy to learn. If it wasn't for the people in Southern Border, how could he control these Gu insects so proficiently?"

Hearing what I said, Zhan Lingxian reached out and stroked the goatee on his chin and nodded in favor.

"I didn't expect the young master and the old man to go together. Alas, it seems that we should be more careful in the future."

Looking up at Zhan Lingxian, I frowned and asked a question that I couldn't figure out.

"Master Zhan, this deity has always been puzzled. Why did this group of people single out the seven great families? Could it be that they had some grievances with others before?"

bewitched

Back to the inn, I sat in front of the window and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.Su Chen beside me sat quietly beside me and looked at me with a smile on my lips.

Thinking back to the conversation I had with Zhan Lingxian on the way back, my mind was in a mess.

The patriarchs of the seven great families now have two other families, and the patriarchs of these two families are also in danger of life at any time.Sighing silently, she turned her head to look at the sleepy Su Chen.

"Go and rest when you're tired, don't stay with me."

Su Chen smiled at me, got up and poured a glass of warm water for me and put it in front of me.A familiar breath rushed into his nostrils, and the messy thoughts in his mind gradually became clear.

"Young master, is he still worried about what happened today?"

I glanced at him, got up and stood at the window and looked out the window.

At this time, the third watch has passed, the whole land is silent, there are few stars hanging in the deep sky, and the light yellow waning moon hangs slantingly on the horizon, the whole world is beautiful, but it is too dark, people can't help it Want to retreat.

Thinking that Su Chen has been by Dongfang Qi's side for so long, he must have his own unique way of looking at problems, otherwise Dongfang Qi would not have stayed by his side for so long.Now that I'm in the middle of the game, I can't see clearly what's going on outside the game, so I might as well look at it from Su Chen's perspective.

"Su Chen, what do you think of what happened these days?"

Su Chen didn't seem to expect that I would ask him this question, his expression froze for a moment and then returned to normal.

"Actually, when Mr. Zhan first went to the Immortal Mansion, Su Chen also felt like the young master that someone wanted to disrupt the world and take the opportunity to become the overlord. But from when I was kidnapped to today when Lord Yan was killed, Su Chen felt that the whole incident was connected. It's like seeking revenge."

Hearing what Su Chen said, I couldn't help being a little interested, and pointed to the stool next to him for him to sit down and talk.

"According to what Su Chen heard, the heads of the seven great families made their debut 20 years ago. They were the seven brothers who were married to Jinlan. The hero became famous in one fell swoop in the event of exterminating Bai Yufeng. I heard from the young master before that the hero Li Yifei had a son, so Su Chen boldly guessed whether it was because of what the seven heroes did that made him Li Daxia’s son is coming back for revenge?”

After hearing Su Chen's words, I couldn't help shaking my head.

"According to your assumptions, assuming that Li Yifei's son came back to take revenge, the cause of death of the previous few can be explained in the past, but today's hero Yan is different. I heard the leader Zhan said today that he died in the Southern Border Gu Under the worm. The destruction of Gu Village in Nanjiang preceded the chaos of Sanssouci Palace. At that time, the seven great families had not made their debut. How could they offend people from Nanjiang? Also, according to my experience in Rakshasa Palace, According to the situation obtained by heaven, Yan Yangyang, the owner of the Rakshasa Palace, may be the child sent out by Bai Yufeng, but there is no evidence, I am just guessing. Regarding what you said, the heads of the seven great families were killed by people seeking revenge Yes, I also feel that it is very possible, Yan Yang reminded me at that time, telling me not to meddle in the affairs of the Seven Great Aristocratic Families."

Su Chen couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard what I said.

I looked at his expression, glanced at him and took a sip of the cold tea on the table.

Su Chen sat blankly at the table and lowered his head to think for a while, then raised his head, and said, "But what happened to Lord Yan still can't be explained, if it was really done by people from Rakshasa Palace, his death method should be the same as the previous few days." Like a hero, isn't this situation diverting attention?"

"Impossible. If it was to divert attention, then Yanyang would not have warned me like that in the Rakshasa Palace back then. At that time, he said that I can't control this matter. I think the matter of the Seven Great Families is not just a simple pursuit of revenge in the rivers and lakes." , Judging by the way this hero Yan was killed today, it is very likely that someone else intervened. It seems that the situation is getting deeper."

When I mentioned Yanyang, Su Chen kept staring at me with doubts in his eyes.

Looking at his appearance, I couldn't help reaching out and flicking his forehead. Su Chen, who realized that he had lost his composure, couldn't help covering his head and blushing.

"Ask any questions, don't look at me with that look."

Putting down the teacup, I touched the wound on my waist.Maybe because the effect of the medicine has passed, the wound at this time is actually burning and painful, which is worse than the dagger piercing the flesh just now.

"Young master, you have unique skills. When you were in Rakshasa Palace, how did you get discovered by that palace master?"

Su Chen didn't notice my movements, and looked at me with embarrassment.

Possess a unique skill?Hehe, don't you say that your time limit has come?

After drinking saliva and trying to suppress the burning pain, I said, "Shortly after I left the secret room where you were imprisoned, I was followed by Yan Yang. After staring at me for a few days, he led me to the main hall of the underground palace to try to kill me, but I escaped and brought you back by the way."

Hearing what I said, I suddenly thought of Chu Fei.

I stretched out my hand to pinch Su Chen's chin, I took a closer look, and found that apart from better skin and softer eyes, it was much worse than Qian Hen, why did that arrogant Chu Fei fall in love with Su Chen?

Seeing the white corner of my clothes at the door, I let go of Su Chen and reached out to throw the book from the table towards the door.

Bai Lian at the door was startled by the book I threw at his feet, he jumped out from the door, looked up at me and rubbed his clothes with a look of weeping.

"What are you doing when you're not sleeping?"

Bai Lian slowly moved in front of me, took my right arm with both hands, and rubbed her head against my chest non-stop.

"Dongfangqi, what did you do when you came back? I can't even find you."

I frowned at his appearance, reached out and grabbed his ears and pulled him away from me. Before he pounced on me again, I stood up and dodged aside.

"Dongfang Qi, woo woo, you bullied me, and you bullied me again."

The angry Bai Lian twisted her buttocks and sat down on my chair just now, reached out and grabbed my wrist and began to wipe away tears.

Pulling my wrist out of his palm, I grabbed his collar and threw him aside.Because the range of motion was too large, I could not help groaning when I reached the small wound, and put my hands on the table to stabilize my figure.

Su Chen, who was standing by the side, saw that my face was pale and my figure was unstable, so she dropped the teacup in her hand and reached out to support my shoulder,

"Young master, what's the matter with you?"

Bai Lian, who was still crying next to me, heard Su Chen's anxious voice, hurriedly wiped away her tears and ran to me, grabbed my skirt with both hands, stared at me tightly, her eyes were full of self-blame.

"Woo, Dongfang Qi, what's wrong with you, I didn't mean to be angry with you, don't be angry with me."

Covering the wound on my lower abdomen, I gritted my teeth and slowly sat back in the chair.Gather the hidden spiritual power in the body to your hands and stick it on the lower abdomen to relieve pain.

But slowly I discovered that the spiritual power in my inner body was gradually weakening.in my heart
