after the villain

03.

Yan Jingyu looked at Ji Wuming's ugly face, with a puzzled expression, "The Nether Sect?"

"That's a sect of Da Chengguo in Mobei, no, maybe it's more appropriate to say sect." Ji Wuming calmed down a little, and stepped forward to shake off the black robe.

The clothes were a bit torn, stained with a lot of blood, and looked dull, but the large totems on the back were clearly visible, and the blue-faced and long-toothed beast stared angrily, looking like a ghost on an ancient vessel.

"This is the ghost they believe in. It is rumored that it has a blue face and fangs, three heads and six arms. It is a hundred feet high. It can call wind and rain and bring down thunder. It can command all kinds of beasts and ghosts. Even the gods will not dare to underestimate it. It is called Chi Luo Yasha."

Ji Wuming said, "The leader of the Nether Sect takes Chi Luo as his surname, and his upper and lower robes are painted with such totems. Most of the congregants with higher status will also have such tattoos on their bodies. The current leader, Chi Luochan, is named Raksha Empress."

"Dacheng is located in the north of Mo, and the people are arrogant and very martial. It just so happens that the teachings of the Nether Sect advocate the use of force to break the ban. Therefore, there are not a few people in Dacheng who believe in this religion. Even their princes and nobles believe in this religion. They have served as monarchs several times I wanted to make the Nether Sect the state religion, but I gave up because of the opposition from many ministers."

Ji Wuming's father was murdered by his uncle and the Nether Sect, and buried in the yellow sand in Mobei.After Ji Wuming came to power, he fought with the Nether Sect for nearly ten years, and he knew the situation of their sect very well.

Yan Jingyu wasn't very interested in these things, she said "oh", and after a long while, she finally uttered four words, "Probably...the doctor is benevolent?"

Ji Wuming: "..." He felt that it seemed wrong to use this word to describe the old man, but there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Although the old man can't be said to be benevolent and righteous, it really doesn't matter what sect or not he saves people, it all depends on his mood, and the same goes for his poisoning.

Ji Wuming finally put the irrelevant entanglements behind him, looked at the dark blood on the black robe and the knife marks obviously cut by Mobei's machete, shook his head and said unfavorably, "Just I'm afraid it's not that simple."

The Nether Sect has great ambitions and has always wanted to overthrow the martial arts in the Central Plains. However, Qingzhou is the border between the two countries, only separated by Yunshan Mountain. The evil palace is built on the endless cliff at the top of Yunshan Mountain.

Ji Wuming himself didn't deal with them, so naturally he was unhappy after finding out everything, and the Nether Sect also wanted to get rid of him and then be quick.

However, in recent days, the Nether Sect has been peacefully huddled in the tiny place in Mobei, without any extraordinary actions.

Ji Wuming sent Lin Yuezhi, his confidant, the left guardian of the evil palace, to investigate, and learned that the king of Dacheng Kingdom died of a sudden heart attack not long ago, and the three princes were quarreling because of the battle for the throne.

The eldest prince is a complete hedonist, ambitious but has no brains, and he is impulsive in doing things. The Nether Sect has helped him for many years, but he couldn't help him, so he turned to the second prince. He hit it off with the cold second prince, but the most popular among the people , but it was the third prince Loldan.

The Nether Sect wants to kill the third prince, and the third prince is not a vegetarian either. The two of you come and play with each other, and each has its own outcome.But at this time, a traitor appeared in the Nether Sect.

The traitor was very skilled, not only caused chaos in the Nether Sect, but also successfully assassinated the second prince, and fled to Qingzhou with serious injuries.

In order to add to the obstacles of the Nether Sect, Ji Wuming sent the elite troops of the evil palace to stir up the muddy water, delaying the time for the Nether Sect to enter the evil palace, which led to the emptiness of the evil palace's combat power. Then hit the endless cliff.

Ji Wuming hides his own part, and only tells one or two things about the Nether Sect.

"Oh."

Yan Jingyu was thoughtful, he fished the person back from outside the valley, and he looked like a foreigner, but there are not many foreigners in Qingzhou, so he didn't think much about it at the time.

He asked, "Then this is the traitor?"

"Me too..." It's just a guess.

Before Ji Wuming finished speaking, the ground shook, rolling stones rustled, and suddenly there was a rapid ringing sound in Tianji Valley, jingling very loudly, and the wooden bird on the old man's eaves was stretching its voice and shouting heart-piercingly, "I'm going to die!" It's time! It's time to die! Someone's coming in! It's time to die! It's time to die! Someone's coming in!"

The two looked at each other, Qi Qi changed his expression, and left the bamboo house one after the other.

Yan Jingyu flicked his wrist, and the dagger in his sleeve fell into his palm. He said "I'll go and see", and then used his lightness kung fu to plunge into the bamboo forest. The sound of breaking through the sky resounded frequently.

The old man limped out of his bamboo house, holding a broken piece of wood in his hand, roaring furiously, "A bunch of cubs, the old man will make you regret being born in this world!!"

He touched the parts that took half an hour to make in distress, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

When Ji Wuming heard the roaring movement in the bamboo forest, his heart sank slightly, and his intuition was not good.

After a while, Yan Jingyu came back with minor injuries, threw the broken dagger on the ground, and said with a cold expression, "I don't know how many people came, I saw a crowd of people, all wearing Nether Sect costumes, they are violently breaking the formation , the leader has strong internal strength, and I can’t do it alone.”

The old man who was clamoring just now became hoarse for a moment. He didn't know what Nether Cult was, but he could also see Yan Jingyu's serious and solemn expression.

In fact, Yan Jingyu put it lightly. The moment he met the woman, he didn't even have time to draw a knife, and was blown away by the tyrannical internal force. If he wasn't familiar with the Stone Forest Formation, and his lightness kung fu is good, It's not just knives that are useless.

Ji Wuming was secretly surprised.

Ji Wuming observed Yan Jingyu's kungfu practice for a long time, and measured his strength: excellent lightness kung fu, ruthless moves, top concealment skills, solid foundation skills, medium-to-high internal strength, and high-end talent. The disadvantage is that he is still young. The days are short.

But if he wanted to assassinate someone, many seniors would have to admit it.

The criteria for judging assassins and ordinary martial arts practitioners are different.

The reason why Bai Weiyu was able to sit firmly as the owner of the Weiyu Building was not because of her unfathomable martial arts, but because her assassination skills were so proficient that she was at the top of the world.

When Bai Weiyu washed her hands, she said that she was confident that she could kill more than [-]% of the masters in the Jianghu, and the remaining less than [-]% was because the Jianghu people couldn't afford the exorbitant price of rewarding them.

When Ji Wuming was in Southern Border, he fought against Bai Weiyu several times. He privately thought that if Yan Jingyu grew up a few more years, the title of number one assassin might be able to compete with Bai Weiyu's deeply hidden apprentice. a fight.

Can make Yan Jingyu say "no", Ji Wuming's mind sank to the bottom in an instant.

"The leader is a woman with blue-eyed blonde hair and extremely high cheekbones?" Ji Wuming asked.

Yan Jingyu recalled what they had said before, she was blessed to the heart, understood what he was thinking, the corners of her lips twitched, "Empress Luocha?"

"I guess it should be."

Ji Wuming gritted his teeth, picked up the half-used short knife on the ground with his toes, tried his best to mobilize the thin internal force in his body, and said with a tense jaw, "Let's fight out, we should strike first."

"Okay." Yan Jingyu, who was thinking about how to hide in the first place, overturned his thoughts without hesitation, and nodded in agreement.

He took out a sharp dagger with a cold light from his waist, and Tong Ji Wuming looked at each other. There are some things in common between masters, and there is no need for words to elaborate.

The two nodded to each other, and were about to rush into the bamboo forest, but the old man hurriedly pulled him back.

"What are you killing! There are too many people outside, and one person will send you to the underworld with one knife!" The old man said with an ugly expression, "Come with me."

He led the two of them to his own courtyard, bypassing the wooden kite on the ground, babbling all the way, and yelled dissatisfiedly, "He also said that my old man is crazy, and I see you are more crazy than me! Knowing that There are so many people outside, and there are masters in charge, if they want to find death, the old man can't hold it back!"

The wooden bird under the eaves yelled in unison, "I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

"Bah! You are the one who is going to die! Bad luck!" The old man lost his temper at the bird, paused, and shook his head again, "Haha, you are finished, dead bird! You just wait to be demolished! You are finished Already!"

The wooden bird didn't know what happened, and still howled with its beak wide open.

The old man's mood improved inexplicably, and he couldn't hide the joy from his back even though he was limping.

Ji Wuming looked at the bamboo house in front of him.

The space in the house is huge, but it is full of things, even the light is dim. There is a very tall and huge medicine cabinet directly opposite, which is filled with various bottles and jars, and the names of medicinal materials are pasted on each small grid. , and several medicine stoves of different sizes are displayed on it, a few dismantled wooden parts are scattered beside it, messy tools are randomly piled on the table and the floor, a compass and an old and damaged paper are hung on the wall. picture scroll.

Ji Wuming recognized the picture scroll that the old man showed him earlier, his eyes flashed thoughtful.

Judging from this, the people on the scroll should be extremely important to the old man.

Sure enough, the old man walked to the wall, first took off the scroll, carefully rolled it up and put it in his sleeve, and then stretched out his hand to press down the raised circle in the middle of the compass.

Click, click, the mechanism is running, and the big medicine cabinet moves, revealing the dark and dark secret room inside.

The three of them lit candles and went in, the medicine cabinet was closed again, and Ji Wuming vaguely heard the rumbling sound of explosions outside.

"What's the matter?" He frowned. It stands to reason that the Stone Forest Formation is so exquisite that it should take some time to crack it even with violence.

"It's nothing, it's just that once this door is closed, all the mechanisms in Tianji Valley will be blown up, hehe." The old man smiled sullenly, the scars on his face looked even more terrifying under the candlelight, "It's worth my effort Sulfur and saltpeter are buried in every organ."

The roar outside continued, and the secret room was also shaken by the shock. There were fine pieces of earth and rock rolling down the sides. It looked precarious, but it was miraculously stopped.

The old man led them all the way through the secret passage, and reminded them not to touch them. "There are no fewer organs here than in the valley, and the secret passage is narrow and long. Once triggered, it is inevitable."

The old man stopped when he walked to a relatively open place, "I remember that there is no mechanism here, so let's go here."

Ji Wuming looked around, there were eight stone gates in total, and densely packed inscriptions were engraved on the towering stone walls, obviously another exquisite array technique.

He nodded and said, "We'll go out when the movement outside stops."

The old man fell silent suddenly, and said after a long while, "That door can only be entered and cannot be opened. Once it is closed, it cannot be opened."

A bad premonition surged in Ji Wuming's heart, and he looked at him in disbelief, "Then we're trapped here and can't get out?"

"That's not true." The old man looked at the eight stone gates on the opposite side, and said, "This place is also built with the technique of Qimen Dunjia, and there is a life gate..."

Ji Wuming straightened his back immediately: "Which way?"

The old man: "...Well, it's probably in... this direction..."

He was pointing at random with his hands, and his tone was rarely weak.

In the darkness, Yan Jingyu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, sighed, seeing through everything, and said in a calm and sure tone, "He forgot."

Ji Wuming: "..."

What's with your funny expression!
