Sick Beauty [Rebirth]
Chapter 12
As soon as he went out, he saw a vague figure in the bamboo forest. Ye Yunlan moved slightly in his mind and quickened his pace.
When he got closer, he could see clearly that the person who came was not Shen Shu.
It was Rong Ran who hadn't seen him for a few days.
Seeing Ye Yunlan approaching, Rong Ran couldn't help being overjoyed, and called, "Alan."
Ye Yunlan slowed down and did not respond.
But Rong Ran came over, took his hand naturally like countless times in the past, and said: "Alan, you received the mask I made, do you like it? That mask took me a lot of time to carve carefully, If Alan wears it, it will match your temperament very well."
Ye Yunlan: "I told you, brother, you don't have to do this for me anymore."
But Rong Ran only said softly: "Alan, you should have read my letter. I have apologized like that. Are you still angry? You have been playing petty temper with senior brother like this. If senior brother loves you again, It will be sad too."
Ye Yunlan didn't respond, Rong Ran raised her other hand to caress his face, traced his facial features, and said softly: "Even so, senior brother still can't let you go... Alan, do you know, senior brother misses you so much." Listen to you play another piano piece for me..."
Ye Yunlan lowered her eyes expressionlessly, and moved her wrist, trying to break away from Rongran.
It's just that although Rong Ran's voice was gentle, she held him with great strength.
He was concerned about Shen Shu's safety, and he really didn't have time to entangle with Rong Ran, so he said bluntly: "Trust me, I haven't finished reading it. I've already thrown away the mask."
Rong Ran's expression froze.
"I still have things to do," he said coldly, "Brother Rong, please step aside."
Rong Ran was silent for a while, the smile on her face slowly retracted, and the smile in her eyes became bitter.
He was originally a beauty with outstanding looks, but now he showed such a pitiful expression, which made people feel sorry for him.
"Is there anything in this world that is more important than the friendship between us for so many years? Alan, you are my savior, not only that, but also my junior brother who I have loved so much for so many years. I care about you so much... ..."
"If you think there is something wrong with senior brother, it's better to tell senior brother, senior brother will definitely change it, you... don't be angry with senior brother again, okay?"
Rong Ran's attitude was so sincere that she was almost humble, her eyes were flushed, as if she was about to shed tears, I am afraid that there is no one in this world who can not feel distressed when seeing her.
Ye Yunlan just felt impatient.
Under the three thousand ranks of the previous sect, it was obviously Rong Ran who made him remember a truth.
People's hearts are the most unpredictable thing in this world, even the grace of saving lives can disappear invisibly.
It would be too ridiculous to talk about the old relationship with him now.
"Get out of the way," he said.
The expression on his face is an indifference that Rong Ran has never seen before, like the eternal ice and snow on a distant mountain, only the tears at the end of his eyes are burning.
It was so hot that Rongran felt hostility in his heart.
He wanted to break the slender and silky wrist in his hand, to see him suffer and cry, panicked; he wanted to build a cage with gold, lock the bird in front of him that had left his control, and let him sing only for himself, He can only be admired by himself; wanting his pale face to be stained with desire, begging to be completely possessed by himself.
Rong Ran still remembers that at the very beginning, he put Ye Yunlan's design in his own field of vision and control, but it was because of selfishness.
From the first time he saw Ye Yunlan outside the mountain gate, he was jealous of the other person's appearance, envied the other person's chance, and wanted to snatch everything from the other person and become his own stepping stone.
Everyone said that he was a gentleman, elegant and polite, but only he knew that he was jealous and selfish by nature, and could not allow others to surpass him, especially in terms of his proud appearance.
...But slowly, he developed a desire for Ye Yunlan.
He has forgotten where desire comes from.
Perhaps, it was Ye Yunlan's innocent eyes looking at him when he was a teenager, or perhaps, it was the face that became more and more captivating as the other party grew older and gradually faded away.
He was glad that he collected the beauty in advance.
Therefore, he has the brightest pearl in the world, and this pearl illuminates only for him.
What a wonderful thing.
But why, things suddenly started to get out of control.
Rong Ran's face twisted for a moment, the hand holding Ye Yunlan's wrist tightened nervously, and then slowly loosened.
After a while, he smiled softly, and said: "If Ah Lan really has something important to do, senior brother can't stop him, but... tell senior brother anyway, what are you going to do in such a hurry?"
And the moment he let go, Ye Yunlan had already passed him and walked forward, leaving only a faint sentence, "Look for someone."
Rong Ran stopped where she was, looking at Ye Yunlan's back.
He didn't expect Ye Yunlan to get rid of him in such a hurry, the so-called important thing was... to find someone.
Actually just looking for someone——!
Like the setting sun of blood falling on his face, the beautiful eyebrows and eyes were stained with gloom and madness.
"Who is it..."
-
Among the six peaks of Qingyun Mountain, Zangxiu Peak is where the outer gate of Tianzong is located.
At dusk, there were not many disciples on Wendaopo, but when Ye Yunlan passed by with a sword, he still attracted a lot of attention, but, perhaps because his expression was too indifferent today, none of the disciples dared to speak up.
Cross Wenwen Slope, walk up Zangxiu Peak Mountain Road for half a quarter of an hour, and then turn into a fork, at the end of which is Shuofeng Cliff.
In the distance, a tall golden Ling tree can be seen standing on the top of the cliff.
Ye Yunlan was admitted to the inner sect by Rong Ran when he first entered the Tianzong. In his previous and present lives, he had only been to Cangxiu Peak once, but for some reason, he was very impressed by the golden Ling tree on Shuofeng Cliff.
Standing in front of the golden bell tree, he bent down and picked up a golden bell flower on the ground.
A flower that bloomed extremely gorgeously, but the petals were crumpled, and sporadic blood was stained on it.
Ye Yunlan watched silently, then turned around suddenly, raised his long sword and pointed at the woods not far away.
"Who?"
A young disciple came out from the forest not far away.
Ye Yunlan has always had a good memory.Almost memorable kind of good.
The memory of the 300 years of his previous life, he could not forget one day, and it is still the same when he lives again.So he remembered that the disciple in front of him was called Xue Chong, who had introduced himself to him a few days ago on Wendaopo, and was one of the group of people surrounding him.
Xue Zhong had a smile on his face, he had a distinct handsome appearance, but his smile was a bit naive, "Senior Brother Ye."
Ye Yunlan: "What are you doing with me?"
Xue Zhong rubbed the back of his head, and said apologetically, "Brother misunderstood, I usually practice in the forest next to Shuofeng Cliff, and just happened to catch a glimpse of Senior Brother Ye, so I couldn't help but follow him. I didn't mean to follow, but I just wanted to take the liberty to ask. Is the injury on the brother's body better?"
Ye Yunlan put down the sword in his hand and said, "There is no serious problem."
"It's good that senior brother is okay." Xue Chonghan said with a smile, "Senior brother saved my life in the secret realm before, and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to repay senior brother. Senior brother came to the outer door this time, why do you know why? If necessary If you can help me, just tell me."
Ye Yunlan was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "You said, you usually practice in the forest next to Shuofeng Cliff?"
Xue nodded.
"Then do you know who has been here today?"
Xue Zhong scratched his head and said: "Shuofengya is rarely visited by people on weekdays. I also chose to practice here because I like the quietness of this place. It's just that I am more focused when I practice, and I usually don't pay attention to who has gone up Shuofengya." He pondered After a while, "It's just... there seemed to be some noise on the cliff this morning, and I vaguely heard Senior Brother Yuan's voice."
"Brother Yuan?"
Xue Chong said: "It's Senior Brother Yuan Yongzhi from the Outer Sect Medicine House."
Ye Yunlan had no impression of this person, he frowned slightly, and changed the question, "Then, do you know an outer disciple named Shen Shu?"
"Shen Shu?" Xue Zhong thought about it carefully, "Senior brother said, but Deacon Liu brought back that frail and sick child a few years ago? Deacon Liu said that the child was stained with ominous things when he was young, which made him sick for years. In contact with the outside world, most of the time, it is Deacon Liu and the few apprentices he has taken care of. By the way, one of them is the senior brother Yuan I mentioned just now. I bumped into that child once in a while, and his face was indeed very pale. Calculated that the child has been in the outer sect for three years, Deacon Liu's medical skills are so superb, but he still can't cure the child's illness, and I don't know what the stubborn illness is... "
Ye Yunlan frowned as she listened.
He looked down at the blood stained on the golden bell flower in his hand, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xue Chong.
"Brother Xue," he said, "please lead the way to the medicine house."
-
The medicine house is located on the west side of Tibetan Xiufeng. From a distance, a huge bronze medicine stove stands on a high platform in the middle of the mountain. The fire is crackling and burning, and the rich and bitter medicine fragrance permeates the mountains and fields.
Yuan Yongzhi was sitting in the front hall, constantly rubbing the green bead in his hand.
Ever since Liu Qing went mad, the whole medicine house has been under his presidency.
This event was worth celebrating, but the weird things that happened to his master and two senior brothers kept him in the shadows.
One is a coincidence, but what about two or three?
Liu Qing took five disciples in total. Now, the two senior brothers Zeng and Lin are dead, Liu Qing has gone crazy, and only him, Ran An and Xu Ze are left.
He and Ran An have always been suspicious of Shen Shu, because Liu Qing has always said that Shen Shu is evil and ominous, which inevitably echoes the strange things that happened in the medicine house—they were together in the secret realm They killed the beast and deliberately led the beast to a desperate place in the secret realm, but at that time Li Yan Shenhuo suddenly lost control, and they left in a hurry before they could confirm whether Shen Shu was alive or dead.
Unexpectedly, the beast survived.
He had discussed with Ran An to find another chance to kill Shen Shu.
But now, he was reluctant to let Shen Shu die again.
He has average cultivation talent and has been in Tianzong for more than ten years, but he is just an outer disciple. Being able to be the master of the medicine house is enough to make him ecstatic.
But now that Shen Shu is here, if he is cultivated well in the future, it will not only be the Tianzong, he thinks, in the future, there will be a place for him, Yuan Yongzhi, in all the worlds.
That old bastard Liu Qing dared to refine such a thing... No wonder he got mad.
And his two poor senior brothers, Yue Mo was killed by Liu Qing after he discovered the truth, instead of jumping off the cliff because of the demons in his heart, and his spiritual energy was diverted and his heart veins ruptured during practice.
It must be so.
Talking about evil and unknown is just an excuse for the old guy to cover up.
As soon as he thought of the scene where he would become a powerful party in the future, he would tremble with excitement, unable to control himself, and the blackness in his eyes was surging.
And he himself didn't notice it.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the medicine hut.
"Is Senior Brother Yuan there? I'm Xue Zhong," a clear male voice came from outside the door, "A Senior Brother from the inner sect wants to see you."
Yuan Yongzhi suddenly woke up from his thoughts.
He calmed down the violent and heavy breathing caused by reverie, hid the ball in his sleeve, got up and went to open the door.
As soon as I opened it, I was taken aback.
He saw a pale face soaked in the orange-red sunset.
There is a thick and magnificent beauty rushing in, almost suffocating people's chest and making it difficult to breathe.
The visitor nodded slightly to Xue Zhong, "Junior Brother Xue, thank you for leading the way."
"It's okay, it's my honor to help senior brother. If senior brother needs anything in the outer gate, you can come to me." Xue Zhong said, "The road has been brought, I will go back and continue to practice."
The man nodded, saw Xue Zhong leave, and then turned to him, "Can I go in?"
Only then did Yuan Yongzhi regain his senses, and hurriedly said: "Yes! Of course you can. This inner sect brother, please come in, please come in." While leading people in, he asked: "Senior brother came to the medicine house this time to find Is the family doctor making a diagnosis?"
Although Liu Qing is the deacon of the outer sect, his own medical skills are very superb. He was originally an elder of the inner sect Yaofeng, but he was demoted to the outer sect because of committing crimes a few years ago. Come to see Liu Qing for consultation.
Yuan Yongzhi thought that Ye Yunlan was the same, so he said: "My teacher is in seclusion. I'm afraid I won't be able to make a diagnosis and treatment these few days, but my medical skills are also learned from my own teacher. I am already considered outstanding among the disciples of the medicine house. If you don't mind, brother, I can go first." Feel the pulse for senior brother..." As he spoke, he boldly wanted to grab Ye Yunlan's hand.
Did not think but was avoided.
"I'm not here to diagnose a disease, but to find someone." Ye Yunlan said.
"Looking for someone? Senior brother, who are you looking for?" Yuan Yongzhi's complexion changed slightly, and he suddenly remembered that Shen Shu was rescued by an inner disciple in the secret realm.
Could it be such a coincidence...
Then I heard Ye Yunlan say a name: "I'm looking for Shen Shu."
Although Yuan Yongzhi had a premonition, his expression darkened a bit, "Why did senior brother look for that child?"
Ye Yunlan: "He promised to come to see me today, but he missed the appointment."
When Yuan Yongzhi thought of the golden bell flower, everything became clear in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of anger—that bastard, Shen Shu, would definitely cause him trouble.
It's just that the anger disappeared when he looked at Ye Yunlan, replaced by a burning desire.
He had already heard that the inner disciple who saved Shen Shu was seriously injured, his meridians were shattered, and he had no cultivation base; Rumors say that between them...
Yuan Yongzhi couldn't help swallowing, forgetting his fear of the inner sect disciples, he cleared his throat, and said: "Senior Brother, it's really unlucky to come here, Junior Brother Shen made some small mistakes and is being punished, now I'm afraid You can't see people."
Ye Yunlan frowned, "What mistake did he make?"
Yuan Yongzhi didn't speak, but his breathing became heavier and black air surged in his eyes.
Ye Yunlan: "Let me see him."
"Senior brother, if you really want to see him, it's not impossible." Yuan Yongzhi said, "It's just that senior brother, you are not someone under Junior brother Shen, so you are not qualified to intervene in the medicine house at will?"
qualifications?Ye Yunlan's eyes were slightly cold.
It has been a long time since anyone dared to discuss such things with him in front of him.
——Even if you really want to talk about qualifications, Shen Shu was saved by him in this life, and the other party's life is continued because of him, and he has to take care of Shen Shu's affairs, who else in this world is more qualified than him?
"Take me to see him." Ye Yunlan said indifferently.
This time, he already used a commanding tone.
In the previous life, he was condescending and indifferent to the world of mortals, showing a little bit.
——No matter how retrograde his cultivation base is, he was once honored by the sword, and he is the only strong man who has been to the void for thousands of years in the world.
Seeing his appearance, Yuan Yongzhi only felt that the evil fire in his stomach was burning more vigorously, and said: "Senior brother, I respected you first, because I respected your status as an inner disciple, but in the Tianzong, strength is the most important thing. Now that you are a useless person, why should you point fingers at my disciples from the Yaolu?"
As he said that, he changed the subject, "But as I said earlier, if senior brother wants to see Shen Shu, you can do it—as long as you can please me like senior senior brother heals you." He licked Lips, "I'm very curious, what is the taste of senior brother."
Ye Yunlan was slightly stunned, her brows suddenly became extremely cold.
His hand was already on the Shadowless Sword.
"I have nothing to do with He Lanze."
"Who wouldn't be moved by a beauty like Senior Brother? Senior Senior Brother has always been clean-eyed, and I have never seen him care about anyone before... Besides, you stayed at Senior Senior Senior Brother's residence for two whole weeks. "Yuan Yongzhi licked his lips, "Brother, why bother to be a whore and then set up a memorial archway, with your appearance, even if your body is dirty, I will not dislike it."
Ye Yunlan drew his sword out of its sheath, pointing at Yuan Yongzhi.
"Sword." He said coldly.
"Beauties are not suitable for wielding knives and guns," Yuan Yongzhi said with a smile, "be careful not to hurt yourself, and spoil my interest. When the time comes, brother, if you want to see that little beast again, you will have to take care of me again. I don't know how weak you are." His body, can it bear it—”
"I'll tell you to draw the sword." Ye Yunlan said, "Your master hasn't taught you etiquette, so let me teach you, don't speak indiscriminately, bark everywhere, like an uneducated animal."
Yuan Yongzhi's face was brushed, and his face turned green and pale, "It's just a bastard played by the senior brother, how dare you——!" With spiritual power injected into his hand, he suddenly drew his sword and stabbed at Ye Yunlan.
Ye Yunlan didn't dodge or dodge, and only used his sword.
His pale and slender hand holding the sword was lightly covering the hilt, as if what he was holding was not a sword, but a flower, a leaf, or a feather.
His expression was flat, even a little bored.
The Queying Sword draws out a dim sword light.
There is no sharpness, nor sharpness.
But it is inevitable.
When the sword was pressed against his neck, Yuan Yongzhi felt more than fear, which was unbelievable.
His sword had fallen to the ground.
A sense of silence penetrated through all limbs and filled his heart, making him feel like a dead person in a trance.
This man didn't use his spiritual power.Yuan Yongzhi thought desperately.
It is hard for him to imagine how high the opponent's swordsmanship realm is without using spiritual power to have such power.
Possessing such a sword technique, he had never heard of this person's name before.
The eyebrows and eyes of the person in front of him are still shockingly beautiful.
Yuan Yongzhi felt fear.
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
The man walked behind him, and the long sword changed from straight to horizontal on his neck.
There was a faint fragrance floating on the other party's body, as if coming from the end of the underworld, the fragrance of flowers from the other shore.
He heard his heart beating like a drum and his eardrums vibrating.
The fear of death and the uncontrollable desire coexisted, and the air flow in the meridians rushed, making his body swell and ache, as if it was about to explode.
He wanted to gasp for air, but it was hard to breathe.
He wanted to run away, but his legs were trembling and weak.
He heard the cold voice of the man next to his ear.
"Take me to see Shen Shu."
-
In the dark and damp cell, there is only a little light from the setting sun slanting in from the high windows.
Shen Shu was hung on the wall by chains, most of his body was immersed in the darkness, only half of his cheek was immersed in the setting sun.
The half of the long and narrow eyes exposed in the setting sun are extremely dark, it seems that even the light cannot be integrated into them.
There was blood dripping on the ground, forming a pool of blood.
The shadow on the ground is slowly twisting.
He suddenly heard the sound of unlocking the lock.
A disciple opened the door.
The strong light shone into the cell, and the shadow on the ground did not move.
The disciple came over with a bowl of medicinal soup with an unpleasant and bitter taste, "Come on, drink the medicine and try the effect."
Shen Shu lowered his head and stared at the bowl of something that was either antidote or poison.
It is already a common thing for him to test medicines for the disciples in the medicine hut.
Liu Qing didn't regard him as a human being, and the disciples in the medicine hut only regarded him as a tool.
He has long been used to this, and has long learned to be patient, waiting for the chance to kill with one blow.
But today he was really impatient.
Because Ye Yunlan was still waiting for him.
Seeing that he did not lower his head to take the medicine for a long time, the disciple reprimanded: "Senior Brother Yuan is right, the older you get, the more you lose your sense of humor."
As she spoke, she was about to step forward and hold Shen Shu's jaw, and pour the bowl of hot medicine into his mouth.
However, the disciple didn't notice that there were a few treacherous and twisting shadows that had already meandered to the beam above his head.
The moment he reached out and was about to touch Shen Shu, he suddenly felt something tighten his neck.
"what--"
He was so frightened that he let go of his hand, and wanted to pull the thing on his neck, but immediately, he was suddenly dragged and hit the wall behind, making a loud impact sound.
And the bowl of medicine was about to fall to the ground, but was caught by a hand.
A broken chain was hanging from Shen Shu's wrist.
Holding the medicine bowl, he walked slowly to the disciple amidst the sound of the chain shaking.
The disciple opened his eyes wide in horror, "You, how did you break free from the chain?"
Shen Shu stared at him with dark eyes, did not answer his question, but said hoarsely: "Senior brother Xu, you always want me to drink medicine, how about...you try it too."
"No, don't, come here, help—oh!"
Shen Shu simply lifted his chin, took the medicine bowl, and slowly poured the medicine into his mouth.
"Uh...ho..."
The bitter smell of medicine filled the entire space, and Senior Brother Xu's struggling movements became smaller and smaller.
Shen Shu suddenly lowered his head and sniffed.
His five senses are several times that of ordinary people.Pain is, and so is smell.
He smelled a faint fragrance coming from the wind amidst the bitter smell in the room.
He was familiar with that aroma.
He blinked, and his dark eyes slowly burst into light.
When he got closer, he could see clearly that the person who came was not Shen Shu.
It was Rong Ran who hadn't seen him for a few days.
Seeing Ye Yunlan approaching, Rong Ran couldn't help being overjoyed, and called, "Alan."
Ye Yunlan slowed down and did not respond.
But Rong Ran came over, took his hand naturally like countless times in the past, and said: "Alan, you received the mask I made, do you like it? That mask took me a lot of time to carve carefully, If Alan wears it, it will match your temperament very well."
Ye Yunlan: "I told you, brother, you don't have to do this for me anymore."
But Rong Ran only said softly: "Alan, you should have read my letter. I have apologized like that. Are you still angry? You have been playing petty temper with senior brother like this. If senior brother loves you again, It will be sad too."
Ye Yunlan didn't respond, Rong Ran raised her other hand to caress his face, traced his facial features, and said softly: "Even so, senior brother still can't let you go... Alan, do you know, senior brother misses you so much." Listen to you play another piano piece for me..."
Ye Yunlan lowered her eyes expressionlessly, and moved her wrist, trying to break away from Rongran.
It's just that although Rong Ran's voice was gentle, she held him with great strength.
He was concerned about Shen Shu's safety, and he really didn't have time to entangle with Rong Ran, so he said bluntly: "Trust me, I haven't finished reading it. I've already thrown away the mask."
Rong Ran's expression froze.
"I still have things to do," he said coldly, "Brother Rong, please step aside."
Rong Ran was silent for a while, the smile on her face slowly retracted, and the smile in her eyes became bitter.
He was originally a beauty with outstanding looks, but now he showed such a pitiful expression, which made people feel sorry for him.
"Is there anything in this world that is more important than the friendship between us for so many years? Alan, you are my savior, not only that, but also my junior brother who I have loved so much for so many years. I care about you so much... ..."
"If you think there is something wrong with senior brother, it's better to tell senior brother, senior brother will definitely change it, you... don't be angry with senior brother again, okay?"

People's hearts are the most unpredictable thing in this world, even the grace of saving lives can disappear invisibly.
It would be too ridiculous to talk about the old relationship with him now.
"Get out of the way," he said.
The expression on his face is an indifference that Rong Ran has never seen before, like the eternal ice and snow on a distant mountain, only the tears at the end of his eyes are burning.
It was so hot that Rongran felt hostility in his heart.

And the moment he let go, Ye Yunlan had already passed him and walked forward, leaving only a faint sentence, "Look for someone."
Rong Ran stopped where she was, looking at Ye Yunlan's back.
He didn't expect Ye Yunlan to get rid of him in such a hurry, the so-called important thing was... to find someone.
Actually just looking for someone——!
Like the setting sun of blood falling on his face, the beautiful eyebrows and eyes were stained with gloom and madness.

"Brother Xue," he said, "please lead the way to the medicine house."

The medicine house is located on the west side of Tibetan Xiufeng. From a distance, a huge bronze medicine stove stands on a high platform in the middle of the mountain. The fire is crackling and burning, and the rich and bitter medicine fragrance permeates the mountains and fields.
Yuan Yongzhi was sitting in the front hall, constantly rubbing the green bead in his hand.
Ever since Liu Qing went mad, the whole medicine house has been under his presidency.
This event was worth celebrating, but the weird things that happened to his master and two senior brothers kept him in the shadows.
One is a coincidence, but what about two or three?
Liu Qing took five disciples in total. Now, the two senior brothers Zeng and Lin are dead, Liu Qing has gone crazy, and only him, Ran An and Xu Ze are left.
He and Ran An have always been suspicious of Shen Shu, because Liu Qing has always said that Shen Shu is evil and ominous, which inevitably echoes the strange things that happened in the medicine house—they were together in the secret realm They killed the beast and deliberately led the beast to a desperate place in the secret realm, but at that time Li Yan Shenhuo suddenly lost control, and they left in a hurry before they could confirm whether Shen Shu was alive or dead.
Unexpectedly, the beast survived.
He had discussed with Ran An to find another chance to kill Shen Shu.
But now, he was reluctant to let Shen Shu die again.
He has average cultivation talent and has been in Tianzong for more than ten years, but he is just an outer disciple. Being able to be the master of the medicine house is enough to make him ecstatic.
But now that Shen Shu is here, if he is cultivated well in the future, it will not only be the Tianzong, he thinks, in the future, there will be a place for him, Yuan Yongzhi, in all the worlds.
That old bastard Liu Qing dared to refine such a thing... No wonder he got mad.
And his two poor senior brothers, Yue Mo was killed by Liu Qing after he discovered the truth, instead of jumping off the cliff because of the demons in his heart, and his spiritual energy was diverted and his heart veins ruptured during practice.
It must be so.
Talking about evil and unknown is just an excuse for the old guy to cover up.
As soon as he thought of the scene where he would become a powerful party in the future, he would tremble with excitement, unable to control himself, and the blackness in his eyes was surging.
And he himself didn't notice it.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the medicine hut.
"Is Senior Brother Yuan there? I'm Xue Zhong," a clear male voice came from outside the door, "A Senior Brother from the inner sect wants to see you."
Yuan Yongzhi suddenly woke up from his thoughts.
He calmed down the violent and heavy breathing caused by reverie, hid the ball in his sleeve, got up and went to open the door.
As soon as I opened it, I was taken aback.
He saw a pale face soaked in the orange-red sunset.
There is a thick and magnificent beauty rushing in, almost suffocating people's chest and making it difficult to breathe.
The visitor nodded slightly to Xue Zhong, "Junior Brother Xue, thank you for leading the way."
"It's okay, it's my honor to help senior brother. If senior brother needs anything in the outer gate, you can come to me." Xue Zhong said, "The road has been brought, I will go back and continue to practice."
The man nodded, saw Xue Zhong leave, and then turned to him, "Can I go in?"
Only then did Yuan Yongzhi regain his senses, and hurriedly said: "Yes! Of course you can. This inner sect brother, please come in, please come in." While leading people in, he asked: "Senior brother came to the medicine house this time to find Is the family doctor making a diagnosis?"
Although Liu Qing is the deacon of the outer sect, his own medical skills are very superb. He was originally an elder of the inner sect Yaofeng, but he was demoted to the outer sect because of committing crimes a few years ago. Come to see Liu Qing for consultation.
Yuan Yongzhi thought that Ye Yunlan was the same, so he said: "My teacher is in seclusion. I'm afraid I won't be able to make a diagnosis and treatment these few days, but my medical skills are also learned from my own teacher. I am already considered outstanding among the disciples of the medicine house. If you don't mind, brother, I can go first." Feel the pulse for senior brother..." As he spoke, he boldly wanted to grab Ye Yunlan's hand.
Did not think but was avoided.
"I'm not here to diagnose a disease, but to find someone." Ye Yunlan said.
"Looking for someone? Senior brother, who are you looking for?" Yuan Yongzhi's complexion changed slightly, and he suddenly remembered that Shen Shu was rescued by an inner disciple in the secret realm.
Could it be such a coincidence...
Then I heard Ye Yunlan say a name: "I'm looking for Shen Shu."
Although Yuan Yongzhi had a premonition, his expression darkened a bit, "Why did senior brother look for that child?"
Ye Yunlan: "He promised to come to see me today, but he missed the appointment."
When Yuan Yongzhi thought of the golden bell flower, everything became clear in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of anger—that bastard, Shen Shu, would definitely cause him trouble.
It's just that the anger disappeared when he looked at Ye Yunlan, replaced by a burning desire.
He had already heard that the inner disciple who saved Shen Shu was seriously injured, his meridians were shattered, and he had no cultivation base; Rumors say that between them...
Yuan Yongzhi couldn't help swallowing, forgetting his fear of the inner sect disciples, he cleared his throat, and said: "Senior Brother, it's really unlucky to come here, Junior Brother Shen made some small mistakes and is being punished, now I'm afraid You can't see people."
Ye Yunlan frowned, "What mistake did he make?"
Yuan Yongzhi didn't speak, but his breathing became heavier and black air surged in his eyes.
Ye Yunlan: "Let me see him."
"Senior brother, if you really want to see him, it's not impossible." Yuan Yongzhi said, "It's just that senior brother, you are not someone under Junior brother Shen, so you are not qualified to intervene in the medicine house at will?"
qualifications?Ye Yunlan's eyes were slightly cold.
It has been a long time since anyone dared to discuss such things with him in front of him.
——Even if you really want to talk about qualifications, Shen Shu was saved by him in this life, and the other party's life is continued because of him, and he has to take care of Shen Shu's affairs, who else in this world is more qualified than him?
"Take me to see him." Ye Yunlan said indifferently.
This time, he already used a commanding tone.
In the previous life, he was condescending and indifferent to the world of mortals, showing a little bit.
——No matter how retrograde his cultivation base is, he was once honored by the sword, and he is the only strong man who has been to the void for thousands of years in the world.
Seeing his appearance, Yuan Yongzhi only felt that the evil fire in his stomach was burning more vigorously, and said: "Senior brother, I respected you first, because I respected your status as an inner disciple, but in the Tianzong, strength is the most important thing. Now that you are a useless person, why should you point fingers at my disciples from the Yaolu?"
As he said that, he changed the subject, "But as I said earlier, if senior brother wants to see Shen Shu, you can do it—as long as you can please me like senior senior brother heals you." He licked Lips, "I'm very curious, what is the taste of senior brother."
Ye Yunlan was slightly stunned, her brows suddenly became extremely cold.
His hand was already on the Shadowless Sword.
"I have nothing to do with He Lanze."
"Who wouldn't be moved by a beauty like Senior Brother? Senior Senior Brother has always been clean-eyed, and I have never seen him care about anyone before... Besides, you stayed at Senior Senior Senior Brother's residence for two whole weeks. "Yuan Yongzhi licked his lips, "Brother, why bother to be a whore and then set up a memorial archway, with your appearance, even if your body is dirty, I will not dislike it."
Ye Yunlan drew his sword out of its sheath, pointing at Yuan Yongzhi.
"Sword." He said coldly.
"Beauties are not suitable for wielding knives and guns," Yuan Yongzhi said with a smile, "be careful not to hurt yourself, and spoil my interest. When the time comes, brother, if you want to see that little beast again, you will have to take care of me again. I don't know how weak you are." His body, can it bear it—”
"I'll tell you to draw the sword." Ye Yunlan said, "Your master hasn't taught you etiquette, so let me teach you, don't speak indiscriminately, bark everywhere, like an uneducated animal."
Yuan Yongzhi's face was brushed, and his face turned green and pale, "It's just a bastard played by the senior brother, how dare you——!" With spiritual power injected into his hand, he suddenly drew his sword and stabbed at Ye Yunlan.
Ye Yunlan didn't dodge or dodge, and only used his sword.
His pale and slender hand holding the sword was lightly covering the hilt, as if what he was holding was not a sword, but a flower, a leaf, or a feather.
His expression was flat, even a little bored.
The Queying Sword draws out a dim sword light.
There is no sharpness, nor sharpness.
But it is inevitable.
When the sword was pressed against his neck, Yuan Yongzhi felt more than fear, which was unbelievable.
His sword had fallen to the ground.
A sense of silence penetrated through all limbs and filled his heart, making him feel like a dead person in a trance.
This man didn't use his spiritual power.Yuan Yongzhi thought desperately.
It is hard for him to imagine how high the opponent's swordsmanship realm is without using spiritual power to have such power.
Possessing such a sword technique, he had never heard of this person's name before.
The eyebrows and eyes of the person in front of him are still shockingly beautiful.
Yuan Yongzhi felt fear.
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
The man walked behind him, and the long sword changed from straight to horizontal on his neck.
There was a faint fragrance floating on the other party's body, as if coming from the end of the underworld, the fragrance of flowers from the other shore.
He heard his heart beating like a drum and his eardrums vibrating.
The fear of death and the uncontrollable desire coexisted, and the air flow in the meridians rushed, making his body swell and ache, as if it was about to explode.
He wanted to gasp for air, but it was hard to breathe.
He wanted to run away, but his legs were trembling and weak.
He heard the cold voice of the man next to his ear.
"Take me to see Shen Shu."
-
In the dark and damp cell, there is only a little light from the setting sun slanting in from the high windows.
Shen Shu was hung on the wall by chains, most of his body was immersed in the darkness, only half of his cheek was immersed in the setting sun.
The half of the long and narrow eyes exposed in the setting sun are extremely dark, it seems that even the light cannot be integrated into them.
There was blood dripping on the ground, forming a pool of blood.
The shadow on the ground is slowly twisting.
He suddenly heard the sound of unlocking the lock.
A disciple opened the door.
The strong light shone into the cell, and the shadow on the ground did not move.
The disciple came over with a bowl of medicinal soup with an unpleasant and bitter taste, "Come on, drink the medicine and try the effect."
Shen Shu lowered his head and stared at the bowl of something that was either antidote or poison.
It is already a common thing for him to test medicines for the disciples in the medicine hut.
Liu Qing didn't regard him as a human being, and the disciples in the medicine hut only regarded him as a tool.
He has long been used to this, and has long learned to be patient, waiting for the chance to kill with one blow.
But today he was really impatient.
Because Ye Yunlan was still waiting for him.
Seeing that he did not lower his head to take the medicine for a long time, the disciple reprimanded: "Senior Brother Yuan is right, the older you get, the more you lose your sense of humor."
As she spoke, she was about to step forward and hold Shen Shu's jaw, and pour the bowl of hot medicine into his mouth.
However, the disciple didn't notice that there were a few treacherous and twisting shadows that had already meandered to the beam above his head.
The moment he reached out and was about to touch Shen Shu, he suddenly felt something tighten his neck.
"what--"
He was so frightened that he let go of his hand, and wanted to pull the thing on his neck, but immediately, he was suddenly dragged and hit the wall behind, making a loud impact sound.
And the bowl of medicine was about to fall to the ground, but was caught by a hand.
A broken chain was hanging from Shen Shu's wrist.
Holding the medicine bowl, he walked slowly to the disciple amidst the sound of the chain shaking.
The disciple opened his eyes wide in horror, "You, how did you break free from the chain?"
Shen Shu stared at him with dark eyes, did not answer his question, but said hoarsely: "Senior brother Xu, you always want me to drink medicine, how about...you try it too."
"No, don't, come here, help—oh!"
Shen Shu simply lifted his chin, took the medicine bowl, and slowly poured the medicine into his mouth.
"Uh...ho..."
The bitter smell of medicine filled the entire space, and Senior Brother Xu's struggling movements became smaller and smaller.
Shen Shu suddenly lowered his head and sniffed.
His five senses are several times that of ordinary people.Pain is, and so is smell.
He smelled a faint fragrance coming from the wind amidst the bitter smell in the room.
He was familiar with that aroma.
He blinked, and his dark eyes slowly burst into light.
