Elder Xu smiled and said, "No matter how much you talk to him,? He doesn't have the energy to answer now."
Mrs. Hu is an expert in poisoning, she has already seen Wen Jingting's discomfort, this remark was just a rebuttal to Wen Jingting's satire of her Qixingtang in the martial arts competition that day.She smiled, looked across the room, and then landed on Elder Hu on the ground. Seeing the scarlet blood pool on the ground, her pupils shrank slightly.
"This is……"
"A troublesome woman."
Elder Xu handed over the token and key indifferently, looked at Madam Hu and the man in black and said, "This is the key to the dungeon, and the token of the hall master? ,? But with the token in hand, it must be much more convenient for our people to go up the mountain,? There is no need to delay, let’s do it as soon as possible.”
"Of course I know what Elder Xu means. It's just that Elder Hu has the same surname as me, and we're old acquaintances. Seeing her end up like this, I can't help but feel a little bit unbearable. But we are people who want to do big things, so we should focus on business. Madam Hu laughed again, took the token key, and presented it to the masked man in black behind him, "Let's leave these things to your subordinates."
The masked man in black checked the token and key before making a hoarse voice under the mask, while looking at Wen Jingting coldly.
"The several guard posts at the foot of the mountain have already been replaced by our people. We just need to go down with the token and find an excuse to call them up. It will be much more convenient for us to do things! After the adults are rescued, I will put the two people's intentions into consideration. Tell your lord, when the time comes, your lord will definitely report to the prince and ask for credit for the two of you. However, this person cannot stay for long."
Hearing this, Elder Xu and Mrs. Hu looked at each other and nodded with a smile.
The man in black left after getting the token, Ren Wen Jingting's eyes were red, but he was poisoned and had acupuncture points, so he couldn't do anything.He knew that these people planned to use his token to send the thieves up the mountain, but at this time their leader didn't know anything, Wen Jingting was very anxious and regretful.There are the leader and the son on the mountain, which were impregnable, but they were destroyed in his hands!
His eyes were red with anger, and Elder Xu also looked at him happily, "Don't be nervous, Xiao Wen, we won't do anything yet, at least we have to keep you coming to Li Zhi, if he doesn't come, my arrangement today will be meaningless .”
Wen Jingting gritted his teeth and said, "What on earth are you going to do?" Although he had a stern face, he had no strength in his body.
Elder Xu didn't answer quickly, but turned his head and nodded to Madam Hu. Madam Hu closed the window, found the incense burner in the room, put it gently on the mahogany table, and carefully took out a kit from her bosom.
Her back was facing Wen Jingting, so Wen Jingting couldn't see what she was doing, Elder Xu explained to him in a good mood, "Since the succession of the leader, Uncle Xu, I rarely go back to the mountain. I'm not very familiar with him. I only know that he is very good at martial arts, and he is invulnerable to all kinds of poisons. He has no flaws. But everyone knows that he is weak, but I don't know where the weakness is. I waited for a long time before I returned to the mountain. Days, secretly observe the weakness of the little Hierarch."
Wen Jingting's face was stern.
Elder Xu put one hand on his shoulder, but his smiling voice fell to Wen Jingting's ears like a magic voice, making his body even more stiff——
"You guarded him too tightly. His medicine dregs and used things were all destroyed. I can only find out the truth unless I live in his room... But, I didn't expect my chance to come so soon. Well, the night the leader fell ill, I found out that he had used the medicinal fragrance for nourishing Gu, and accidentally learned that there were Gu insects on him!"
As Elder Xu spoke, his tone became more and more complacent, while Wen Jingting's complexion became more and more tense.
"Uncle Xu, I traveled to many places when I was young, especially the Southwest. I'm afraid you wouldn't have imagined that I am proficient in Gu art. Can the Gu worm on our little leader be hidden from my old eyes?"
Wen Jingting said coldly: "These are just your guesses, it's ridiculous!"
Elder Xu shook his head and laughed, he was still very confident in himself, how could Wen Jingting's pale defense make him trust him?
Similarly, he didn't trust the other person too much. He let go of Wen Jingting and walked towards Mrs. Hu, "Niece Hu, is this medicinal fragrance of yours really useful?"
Mrs. Hu was filling the incense burner with the spices in the kit. When she heard the words, she turned her head and looked at Wen Jingting, and said with a slow smile, "Elder Xu can't trust me? I have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years. Family, I have studied the poison technique for so many years, so I naturally have a way to deal with Gu insects."
Elder Xu was not at ease with her medicine, so he deliberately said these words in front of Wen Jingting, "What if the Gu worms on Master Li's body are very powerful?"
"No matter how powerful the Gu king is, he will also be affected by my poisonous fragrance, and the more powerful the Gu insect, the greater the influence will be on Li Jiaozhu, who has fostered the Gu insect in his body and co-existed with it." Hu Madam smiled gently and spoke softly, "This poisonous fragrance imitates rouge blood, but it is highly poisonous to Gu insects, and it is useful to all Gu insects. As long as the symbiotic body inhales a little, it will make the Gu insects excited and even go crazy. Gu insects Restlessness in the body will definitely affect the master, and the physical strength will be greatly reduced."
Elder Xu stretched out his hand in amazement, "This thing is really so powerful..."
Elder Hu stopped his hand in a hurry, and protected the incense burner with a surprised face, "Don't touch it! This thing is very precious. It took me three whole years to get such a small coin. If there is more, it will be gone." !"
Elder Xu suddenly realized, and withdrew his hand with some fear, "I really shouldn't touch such a rare treasure, otherwise it will be wasted."
To make Mrs. Hu so nervous, Elder Xu thought that the medicine would definitely work, which reassured him a little. When he turned his head and saw that Wen Jingting's face had darkened uncontrollably, he smiled happily, "Okay, we will take the opportunity then." To capture him alive and deliver him after Lord Yuantong is rescued is a great achievement!"
Mrs. Hu laughed and said: "I only hope that my lord can help me to make a comeback in Qixing Hall and save my son."
"Niece, don't worry, you have made a great contribution this time, and the adults will not treat you badly." Elder Xu comforted him casually. After thinking for a while, he whispered: "When the adults send a signal, I will go to the little leader."
Madam Hu's expression became more serious, and she reminded in a warm voice: "Elder Xu must be careful, don't let him see through that you deliberately lured him here."
"Don't worry, I'm not old and confused..."
Listening to the two talking about their plan one by one, Wen Jingting, who couldn't move, almost vomited blood from anger. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to gather some internal energy to break through the sealed acupuncture points and the effect of the medicine.He must not just sit back and watch these sluts harm his leader...
It was because Wen Jingting's resentful eyes were too hot, Mrs. Hu looked over from the side, showing a bit of helplessness on her rather delicate face.
"Hall Master Wen don't want to look at me like that, I just made a deal with someone to send the medicinal fragrance they asked for, the rest has nothing to do with me, if you want to hate, then hate that lord. "
Wen Jingting sneered silently, his face turned blue and white after a short while, the little internal energy he had accumulated due to his painstaking efforts quickly dissipated, not only did he not have time to break through the acupoints, but even half of the medicine effect could not alleviate it. His whole body was still sore and weak... Wen Jingting simply closed his eyes and ignored the two, took a deep breath, squeezed his hands secretly, and continued to gather strength.
Xu and Hu couldn't wait for him to be able to settle down, so they whispered about the plan.
The sun gradually moved to the west, and on the back of the mountain, the congregation added a slightly thicker rope to the original thin rope, so that the back and forth between the leader and the hall master was a little safer.
And the ruined temple was dug to the bottom. The huge tree leaning over the ruins took a long time to move to the ground. Li Zhi and Wang Yong had been watching from the side, and even tried to do it themselves.
However, after waiting for a long time, seeing that people had removed the rocks and rubble above, and dug out the entire collapsed temple, Ah Jiu was still not seen.
There are still some corners that have not been excavated, but seeing the ruins being cleared up little by little, Li Zhi and Wang Yong have already leaned towards the idea that Ah Jiu is not in the temple, but the people sent down the mountain have not returned yet, and they do not know Ah Jiu at present. Is Jiu still alive? Seeing that the sun is about to set, I feel more and more anxious.
The people brought by Lei Xiangzhu searched the mountain from the bottom of the mountain and came to meet again. He sent people to continue searching for Ah Jiu, and first came up to report to Li Zhi. .
It was already late at this time, and it would soon be night, and I was afraid that it would be even more difficult to find someone.
Li Zhi could only ask people to search for it as best he could, and talked for a while with Wang Yong who had been silently and intently staring at the people digging up the rubble by the side of the ruins. Looking at the bloody setting sun falling on the western mountain, he remembered someone.
"Why hasn't Hall Master Wen come?"
Hearing his words, Wang Yong turned his head slightly, only to see that Li Zhi was no better than him, the heavy and exhausted face was clearly visible, he immediately frowned, and persuaded: "Master, go back first."
Li Zhi wanted to find Ah Jiu, and he also wanted to find Elder Hu who was suspected of murdering him. Both things were very important, but finding Ah Jiu was more important. It can be seen that Wang Yong's complexion became paler, and he knew that this person was in worse health than him , so he planned to go back first, "You also come together."
Wang Yong shook his head stubbornly, "I'll watch them and wait for Ah Jiu to come back." He reminded: "If Lao Wen finds someone, you need to take charge of the overall situation. Besides, at this time, the son should be back."
Li Zhi hesitated for a while, but finally nodded, "Then you should come back as soon as possible."
Wang Yong responded perfunctorily, and went to the ruins again.Li Zhi looked at his back anxiously for a while, and then flew back to the opposite side.
On the way back from the back mountain, Li Zhi saw many congregants who lit up the lights and went back and forth in the mountain, and also ran into several incense masters, but he didn't see Wen Jingting, and he didn't hear that they found Elder Hu.
Just looking for one person, I searched the front mountain all day but couldn't find it, and lost a hall master?
Li Zhi faintly sensed that something was wrong.
Yinzhu, who was opposite, said: "Some people say that Master Wen may have gone to find someone himself. After all, he and Elder Hu have known each other for decades and know him better than we do. Maybe he knows where she is hiding. "
Li Zhi was afraid that Wen Jingting had been friends with Elder Hu for decades. If Elder Hu was really an insider, he would be easily deceived, especially now that he has been lost for a long time... Li Zhi asked again: "Is the prince back?"
Yinzhu shook her head.
Li Zhi's brows tightened, it was getting dark, and he didn't know why Xiao Han stayed at the foot of the mountain for so long, there were too many things to do today, first Ah Jiu, now Wen Jingting was gone, he was a little exhausted.
Thinking of Wang Yong's ugly face, and the strong wind in the back mountain, Li Zhi pressed his eyebrows, and said: "Don't look for anyone, go to the back mountain to see Master Wang, he should come back to rest after a busy day." gone."
Yinzhu's elder brother, Zuo Hufa, is Wang Yong's apprentice, and both of them were picked up by Wang Yong to train him personally, upon hearing what Li Zhi said, she showed worry on her face, and immediately replied: "Your subordinate will go right away. "
After she left, Li Zhi planned to find Wen Jingting, but he stayed in the back mountain for a whole day, so he didn't know where Wen Jingting had been for the whole day.
It was also a coincidence that just as he was looking for someone, Elder Xu came over, "Is the leader looking for Hall Master Wen?"
When Li Zhi saw him, he immediately remembered Yinzhu's report, and they also went to Wen Jingting, only to find out that Wen Jingting also ordered the remaining two elders not to go down the mountain today, and the last person they saw was Elder Xu.
Later, when they were going to Wen Jingting's courtyard to look for the hall master, Elder Xu was also there, saying that he hadn't seen anyone, but he was too old to walk, so he waited in Wen Jingting's small courtyard, and notified them when someone came back.
Seeing Elder Xu now, Li Zhi was a little surprised.
"Aren't you waiting for someone at Hall Master Wen?"
Elder Xu limped over, with a hasty expression and obvious joy on his face. When he came to Li Zhi, he almost tripped over a stone in the ground, and Li Zhi frowned suddenly.
Fortunately, Elder Xu stood firmly on his own. He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Li Zhi: "Master, Hall Master Wen has returned and brought Elder Hu back, but Elder Hu seems to have been seriously injured. Hall Master Wen left No, let the subordinates come down and invite the leader to go. This matter cannot be known by too many people, and the leader should go with the subordinates."
Li Zhi asked, "You really found it?"
Elder Xu nodded vigorously, "Yes, but Elder Hu seems to be seriously injured."
He was vague, which aroused Li Zhi's curiosity.Although I don't know why Wen Jingting sent Elder Xu to invite him over, but seeing Elder Xu's old and sickly appearance, Li Zhi went anyway.
The sun was setting slowly, and a few stars hung on the sky, when Xiao Han just returned to the foot of the mountain.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Xiao Han paused for a moment when he saw the Fuyue Sect disciples who were guarding the guard post in front of the stele, but wanted to see Li Zhi as soon as possible, so he hurriedly rode up the mountain.
It wasn't until he met his subordinates stationed on the mountainside and saw the chaos on the mountain surrounded by fire, light, and moving figures. Xiao Han asked his subordinates, and found out that Ah Jiu was lost. However, only in the afternoon, someone took the hall master's token and came down the mountain, saying that there was not enough manpower, and invited a dozen disciples from the mountain to come up."
There are several sentry posts at the foot of the mountain, and Xiao Han knows that the congregation on the mountain will come down to take turns. This coincides with the strange place he saw when he came back.No wonder there are no guards at the foot of the mountain. He nodded and said, "Just now when I went up the mountain, I didn't see anyone. I didn't know that everyone had gone up the mountain. I guessed what happened."
It's just that Xiao Han was in a hurry to see Li Zhi, so it wasn't a big deal to only put a dozen people up, and they were all from the Fuyue Sect, so Xiao Han didn't pay attention, and turned to go up the mountain road.
For some reason, he is always restless today.
Maybe it was because he was too worried about Li Zhi, for fear that he would suddenly get sick when he was not around.
Thinking of the Gu worms on Li Zhi's body, Xiao Han's face sank unconsciously, and he hurried back to the main altar on the mountain before dark. Not long after he got off his horse, he saw the two hidden guards he had left on the mountain to protect Li Zhi.
At the same time, Li Zhi from the main altar on the top of the mountain followed Elder Xu to Wen Jingting courtyard.
Elder Xu brought the person into the courtyard, and then stood still in the courtyard, not moving forward, "The leader and Master Wen have important matters to discuss, and the subordinates dare not approach."
Hearing his words, the sense of disobedience in Li Zhi's heart became more and more intense. Wen Jingting would never use these elders to do things. Even in Elder Xu's words, he was in a hurry and had no one to choose, but...
Elder Xu took the initiative to stop in front of the door, which had to make Li Zhi think a lot, his hidden questioning eyes passed over Elder Xu indiscriminately.
Elder Xu lowered his head, seemingly unaware.
Li Zhi walked slowly to the door, looking at the faint candlelight on the window paper.
A figure was reflected on the window paper by the candlelight, and there seemed to be something wrong with the familiarity.
While being wary of the people behind him, Li Zhi slowly raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.
"Master Wen, I'm here."
There was a long silence in the room, and no one answered.
But the figure on the window paper was clearly still there, not moving... Li Zhi suddenly realized that something was wrong, the shadow was clearly very stiff!
Li Zhi subconsciously looked back at Elder Xu, that old and honest face was also looking at him in confusion, and asked in a whisper, "Master, what's wrong?"
Li Zhi took a step back, raised his chin and pointed to the door, "Go in and have a look."
Elder Xu pointed at himself, his face full of surprise.
"Yes, it's you."
Elder Xu hesitated for a while, without any further excuses, walked to the door step by step, and pushed the door open according to Li Zhi's eyes, and a thick bloody smell rushed out the moment the door opened.
Li Zhi was very familiar with this smell, he was familiar with it to the bone, and he thought that something had happened. Before he could order, Elder Xu seemed to be frightened. He ran into the room quickly holding the door frame, and shouted: "Elder Hu ! Xiao Wen, how do you..."
Elder Xu didn't say the whole thing, which made Li Zhi's heart tense, and he followed him in before he stepped into the threshold. At a glance, he saw Elder Hu lying on the ground in a pool of blood and not knowing whether he was alive or dead. Wen Jingting gagged and blinked at him desperately.Li Zhi noticed that he was looking behind him, and at the same time, a cold wind was blowing behind him.
Sure enough, there was an ambush!Li Zhi reacted very quickly and retreated a few steps away. Seeing that Mrs. Hu in a black gauze dress couldn't make a sneak attack, he blocked the way out in front of the door, and smiled at him with a gentle smile.
"Master Li, it's been a long time."
When he was outside the door, Li Zhi knew that there was someone in the room, but he didn't expect that it would be Wen Jingting who was tied up, Elder Hu fell to the ground motionless, and there was also the wife of the head of the Seven Star Hall who shouldn't be here.
Li Zhi's gaze slowly swept from her to Elder Xu who was not far from her, his eyes were already determined, "Why did Mrs. Hu come today? She broke into the main room of my hall without seeing you handing over the invitation. Who opened the mountain gate for you? Mrs. Hu also knows that you are so rude, I can definitely knock you down the mountain."
Elder Xu, who was squatting beside Elder Hu and pretending to be surprised, stood up, all the astonishment on his face disappeared, and he looked at Li Zhi with admiration, "Young Master is really not easy to deceive, but fortunately, you came in."
"So what?" Li Zhi was always cold and arrogant, he stepped forward to untie the acupuncture points on Wen Jingting's body, he didn't pay attention to the two people at all, and then pulled out the cloth scarf from Wen Jingting's mouth, Wen Jingting bumped him away, struggling to break free Unlocking the rope on his body, he said anxiously: "Leader, go away! There is poisonous incense burning in this room!"
Li Zhi was startled, and belatedly sensed a strong fragrance filling the room.
He was so anxious just now that he didn't notice the fragrance. Now that Wen Jingting reminded him, Li Zhi realized that the fragrance was so pleasant that he couldn't help but take another sip, and his cheeks were stained twice. Blushed, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot... Li Zhi knew something wrong, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose.
But it was too late. After he came in, he was troubled by the situation in front of him and inhaled a lot of poisonous incense. At this time, he had already had an attack, his heartbeat became faster and faster, and he clearly felt something in his heart began to be excited.
Madam Hu and Elder Xu were still very vigilant at first and did not dare to make a move easily, but now seeing Li Zhi tremble all of a sudden, he was able to stand still by holding onto the edge of the table, the two exchanged a look, and then walked towards Li Zhi.
Seeing this, Wen Jingting was also anxious. After he frantically broke the rope, most of the energy he had accumulated for a long time was gone. Fortunately, the medicine on his body had lost three points of its effect, and his internal energy slowly returned.Seeing the actions of Elder Xu and Elder Xu, he knew what they were going to do, and he didn't even want to protect Li Zhi.
"Leader, go away! I'm here to block it!"
Li Zhi hastily sealed several big acupoints, but had little effect, he still underestimated the poisonous fragrance, he only inhaled a small amount, and the Gu worm in his chest became agitated, running wildly around his heart.
This experience was not pleasant, no less than the last attack, his already sick complexion suddenly turned pale, the five fingers holding his heart tightened in vain, and he bit his lower lip to let out a painless breath, and his breath was long gone Chaos, the time of the onset of illness was indeed his weakest time.
"Wen..." Li Zhi just uttered a word, and he felt as if his whole body was on fire. The sharp pain in his heart quickly spread to the internal organs, and the blood flowed backwards, and there was no place on his body that felt good.
Li Zhi understood that he should have died back then, because this Gu worm was able to linger on, but it was not easy to live, and there was a price to be paid for stealing a life.
But right now it really hurts...
Even though he had experienced such pain countless times, Li Zhi still couldn't bear it.
"Don't think about it, you won't be able to run away." Elder Xu drew out his dagger, and almost walked towards them, when he stopped suddenly, a bloody hand grabbed his ankle.Seeing him not moving, Mrs. Hu inevitably looked over with some reproach, and was also surprised afterward.
Elder Hu, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, was still alive. He woke up at some point, got up and stopped Elder Xu. His pale blood-stained face was as ferocious as a ghost crawling out of the underworld.
Elder Xu quickly settled down, his face was full of disgust, "You're not dead yet."
Elder Hu's eyes seemed to lose focus, and he only looked up at the blurred figure, his facial features stretched out a little bit, forming a resentful smile, and his hoarse voice contained a sneer. "You, want me to die, and I won't make it easier for you..."
The sternness and coldness in the words made Wen Jingting and Li Zhi feel chills behind them after hearing it.
Elder Hu inadvertently delayed them for a while, Wen Jingting couldn't bear to look away, and pushed Li Zhi staggeringly to the window. He was opening the window forcefully, but Li Zhi gritted his teeth and swallowed the muffled moan that came to his mouth, trembling. Put your hand on Wen Jingting's arm.
Wen Jingting suddenly understood Li Zhi's meaning, he paused in his heart, and scolded: "Leave me alone! Go now, find someone to save me!"
Hearing this, Li Zhi's eyes regained some clarity.Yes, this is on his territory...
While he was hesitating, Wen Jingting finally knocked open the window.Li Zhi frowned, he was subconsciously unwilling to leave here, but Wen Jingting forced him to climb up the window lattice, half supporting and half pushing.
Before jumping down, Li Zhi came back to his senses in vain, and suddenly turned his head to look at Wen Jingting's face, his heart suddenly flustered, and he grabbed Wen Jingting's hand, his eyes were slightly red unconsciously, and a sour feeling rushed into his throat, making him His voice also became a little dry, "Uncle Wen, don't die, wait for me to come back."
Wen Jingting was stunned for a moment.He thought of Li Zhi who was still very young many years ago. As he grew up, Li Zhi no longer showed such dependent eyes to him. He became very strong and wanted to save face.
Wen Jingting can understand all these, after all, the leader has grown up.However, until now, at this moment, Wen Jingting realized that no matter how old Li Zhi is or how good his martial arts are, in his eyes, he is still the one he saw when he was at the lowest point in his life, who would call him uncle and learn from him earnestly. A sick and weak child.
From the first day Li Zhi went up the mountain, his pale, timid and hesitant appearance had already been deeply embedded in Wen Jingting's heart.
This is the little leader I will pledge allegiance to in the future.
Not as annoying as his father...
The first time I talked to him and coaxed him to call him uncle, Wen Jingting thought, it's really easy to lie, but he's so fragile, I'm afraid I can't leave him, and I'm going to die if I'm not careful.But he didn't want the child to die. When he saw him, he would think of himself when he first went up the mountain many years ago.
He also suffered a lot when he was young, and later he was appreciated by Luo Yun to enter the main arena.
But this child is different, he is so weak, he will get sick if he is not careful, so he must be pampered.
So Wen Jingting wanted to take care of Li Zhi a little more, and he cared a little more for him every day. In the end, he was reluctant to let him die, and worried about him for half his life, almost treating him as his own son.
But in the end he was raised.
Wen Jingting looked at Li Zhi's face full of stubborn insistence on him to answer, and smiled proudly.
"it is good."

Mrs. Hu is an expert in poisoning, she has already seen Wen Jingting's discomfort, this remark was just a rebuttal to Wen Jingting's satire of her Qixingtang in the martial arts competition that day.She smiled, looked across the room, and then landed on Elder Hu on the ground. Seeing the scarlet blood pool on the ground, her pupils shrank slightly.
"This is……"
"A troublesome woman."
Elder Xu handed over the token and key indifferently, looked at Madam Hu and the man in black and said, "This is the key to the dungeon, and the token of the hall master? ,? But with the token in hand, it must be much more convenient for our people to go up the mountain,? There is no need to delay, let’s do it as soon as possible.”
"Of course I know what Elder Xu means. It's just that Elder Hu has the same surname as me, and we're old acquaintances. Seeing her end up like this, I can't help but feel a little bit unbearable. But we are people who want to do big things, so we should focus on business. Madam Hu laughed again, took the token key, and presented it to the masked man in black behind him, "Let's leave these things to your subordinates."
The masked man in black checked the token and key before making a hoarse voice under the mask, while looking at Wen Jingting coldly.
"The several guard posts at the foot of the mountain have already been replaced by our people. We just need to go down with the token and find an excuse to call them up. It will be much more convenient for us to do things! After the adults are rescued, I will put the two people's intentions into consideration. Tell your lord, when the time comes, your lord will definitely report to the prince and ask for credit for the two of you. However, this person cannot stay for long."
Hearing this, Elder Xu and Mrs. Hu looked at each other and nodded with a smile.
The man in black left after getting the token, Ren Wen Jingting's eyes were red, but he was poisoned and had acupuncture points, so he couldn't do anything.He knew that these people planned to use his token to send the thieves up the mountain, but at this time their leader didn't know anything, Wen Jingting was very anxious and regretful.There are the leader and the son on the mountain, which were impregnable, but they were destroyed in his hands!
His eyes were red with anger, and Elder Xu also looked at him happily, "Don't be nervous, Xiao Wen, we won't do anything yet, at least we have to keep you coming to Li Zhi, if he doesn't come, my arrangement today will be meaningless .”
Wen Jingting gritted his teeth and said, "What on earth are you going to do?" Although he had a stern face, he had no strength in his body.
Elder Xu didn't answer quickly, but turned his head and nodded to Madam Hu. Madam Hu closed the window, found the incense burner in the room, put it gently on the mahogany table, and carefully took out a kit from her bosom.
Her back was facing Wen Jingting, so Wen Jingting couldn't see what she was doing, Elder Xu explained to him in a good mood, "Since the succession of the leader, Uncle Xu, I rarely go back to the mountain. I'm not very familiar with him. I only know that he is very good at martial arts, and he is invulnerable to all kinds of poisons. He has no flaws. But everyone knows that he is weak, but I don't know where the weakness is. I waited for a long time before I returned to the mountain. Days, secretly observe the weakness of the little Hierarch."
Wen Jingting's face was stern.
Elder Xu put one hand on his shoulder, but his smiling voice fell to Wen Jingting's ears like a magic voice, making his body even more stiff——
"You guarded him too tightly. His medicine dregs and used things were all destroyed. I can only find out the truth unless I live in his room... But, I didn't expect my chance to come so soon. Well, the night the leader fell ill, I found out that he had used the medicinal fragrance for nourishing Gu, and accidentally learned that there were Gu insects on him!"
As Elder Xu spoke, his tone became more and more complacent, while Wen Jingting's complexion became more and more tense.
"Uncle Xu, I traveled to many places when I was young, especially the Southwest. I'm afraid you wouldn't have imagined that I am proficient in Gu art. Can the Gu worm on our little leader be hidden from my old eyes?"
Wen Jingting said coldly: "These are just your guesses, it's ridiculous!"
Elder Xu shook his head and laughed, he was still very confident in himself, how could Wen Jingting's pale defense make him trust him?
Similarly, he didn't trust the other person too much. He let go of Wen Jingting and walked towards Mrs. Hu, "Niece Hu, is this medicinal fragrance of yours really useful?"
Mrs. Hu was filling the incense burner with the spices in the kit. When she heard the words, she turned her head and looked at Wen Jingting, and said with a slow smile, "Elder Xu can't trust me? I have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years. Family, I have studied the poison technique for so many years, so I naturally have a way to deal with Gu insects."
Elder Xu was not at ease with her medicine, so he deliberately said these words in front of Wen Jingting, "What if the Gu worms on Master Li's body are very powerful?"
"No matter how powerful the Gu king is, he will also be affected by my poisonous fragrance, and the more powerful the Gu insect, the greater the influence will be on Li Jiaozhu, who has fostered the Gu insect in his body and co-existed with it." Hu Madam smiled gently and spoke softly, "This poisonous fragrance imitates rouge blood, but it is highly poisonous to Gu insects, and it is useful to all Gu insects. As long as the symbiotic body inhales a little, it will make the Gu insects excited and even go crazy. Gu insects Restlessness in the body will definitely affect the master, and the physical strength will be greatly reduced."
Elder Xu stretched out his hand in amazement, "This thing is really so powerful..."
Elder Hu stopped his hand in a hurry, and protected the incense burner with a surprised face, "Don't touch it! This thing is very precious. It took me three whole years to get such a small coin. If there is more, it will be gone." !"
Elder Xu suddenly realized, and withdrew his hand with some fear, "I really shouldn't touch such a rare treasure, otherwise it will be wasted."
To make Mrs. Hu so nervous, Elder Xu thought that the medicine would definitely work, which reassured him a little. When he turned his head and saw that Wen Jingting's face had darkened uncontrollably, he smiled happily, "Okay, we will take the opportunity then." To capture him alive and deliver him after Lord Yuantong is rescued is a great achievement!"
Mrs. Hu laughed and said: "I only hope that my lord can help me to make a comeback in Qixing Hall and save my son."
"Niece, don't worry, you have made a great contribution this time, and the adults will not treat you badly." Elder Xu comforted him casually. After thinking for a while, he whispered: "When the adults send a signal, I will go to the little leader."
Madam Hu's expression became more serious, and she reminded in a warm voice: "Elder Xu must be careful, don't let him see through that you deliberately lured him here."
"Don't worry, I'm not old and confused..."
Listening to the two talking about their plan one by one, Wen Jingting, who couldn't move, almost vomited blood from anger. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to gather some internal energy to break through the sealed acupuncture points and the effect of the medicine.He must not just sit back and watch these sluts harm his leader...
It was because Wen Jingting's resentful eyes were too hot, Mrs. Hu looked over from the side, showing a bit of helplessness on her rather delicate face.
"Hall Master Wen don't want to look at me like that, I just made a deal with someone to send the medicinal fragrance they asked for, the rest has nothing to do with me, if you want to hate, then hate that lord. "
Wen Jingting sneered silently, his face turned blue and white after a short while, the little internal energy he had accumulated due to his painstaking efforts quickly dissipated, not only did he not have time to break through the acupoints, but even half of the medicine effect could not alleviate it. His whole body was still sore and weak... Wen Jingting simply closed his eyes and ignored the two, took a deep breath, squeezed his hands secretly, and continued to gather strength.
Xu and Hu couldn't wait for him to be able to settle down, so they whispered about the plan.
The sun gradually moved to the west, and on the back of the mountain, the congregation added a slightly thicker rope to the original thin rope, so that the back and forth between the leader and the hall master was a little safer.
And the ruined temple was dug to the bottom. The huge tree leaning over the ruins took a long time to move to the ground. Li Zhi and Wang Yong had been watching from the side, and even tried to do it themselves.
However, after waiting for a long time, seeing that people had removed the rocks and rubble above, and dug out the entire collapsed temple, Ah Jiu was still not seen.
There are still some corners that have not been excavated, but seeing the ruins being cleared up little by little, Li Zhi and Wang Yong have already leaned towards the idea that Ah Jiu is not in the temple, but the people sent down the mountain have not returned yet, and they do not know Ah Jiu at present. Is Jiu still alive? Seeing that the sun is about to set, I feel more and more anxious.
The people brought by Lei Xiangzhu searched the mountain from the bottom of the mountain and came to meet again. He sent people to continue searching for Ah Jiu, and first came up to report to Li Zhi. .
It was already late at this time, and it would soon be night, and I was afraid that it would be even more difficult to find someone.
Li Zhi could only ask people to search for it as best he could, and talked for a while with Wang Yong who had been silently and intently staring at the people digging up the rubble by the side of the ruins. Looking at the bloody setting sun falling on the western mountain, he remembered someone.
"Why hasn't Hall Master Wen come?"
Hearing his words, Wang Yong turned his head slightly, only to see that Li Zhi was no better than him, the heavy and exhausted face was clearly visible, he immediately frowned, and persuaded: "Master, go back first."
Li Zhi wanted to find Ah Jiu, and he also wanted to find Elder Hu who was suspected of murdering him. Both things were very important, but finding Ah Jiu was more important. It can be seen that Wang Yong's complexion became paler, and he knew that this person was in worse health than him , so he planned to go back first, "You also come together."
Wang Yong shook his head stubbornly, "I'll watch them and wait for Ah Jiu to come back." He reminded: "If Lao Wen finds someone, you need to take charge of the overall situation. Besides, at this time, the son should be back."
Li Zhi hesitated for a while, but finally nodded, "Then you should come back as soon as possible."
Wang Yong responded perfunctorily, and went to the ruins again.Li Zhi looked at his back anxiously for a while, and then flew back to the opposite side.
On the way back from the back mountain, Li Zhi saw many congregants who lit up the lights and went back and forth in the mountain, and also ran into several incense masters, but he didn't see Wen Jingting, and he didn't hear that they found Elder Hu.
Just looking for one person, I searched the front mountain all day but couldn't find it, and lost a hall master?
Li Zhi faintly sensed that something was wrong.
Yinzhu, who was opposite, said: "Some people say that Master Wen may have gone to find someone himself. After all, he and Elder Hu have known each other for decades and know him better than we do. Maybe he knows where she is hiding. "
Li Zhi was afraid that Wen Jingting had been friends with Elder Hu for decades. If Elder Hu was really an insider, he would be easily deceived, especially now that he has been lost for a long time... Li Zhi asked again: "Is the prince back?"
Yinzhu shook her head.
Li Zhi's brows tightened, it was getting dark, and he didn't know why Xiao Han stayed at the foot of the mountain for so long, there were too many things to do today, first Ah Jiu, now Wen Jingting was gone, he was a little exhausted.
Thinking of Wang Yong's ugly face, and the strong wind in the back mountain, Li Zhi pressed his eyebrows, and said: "Don't look for anyone, go to the back mountain to see Master Wang, he should come back to rest after a busy day." gone."
Yinzhu's elder brother, Zuo Hufa, is Wang Yong's apprentice, and both of them were picked up by Wang Yong to train him personally, upon hearing what Li Zhi said, she showed worry on her face, and immediately replied: "Your subordinate will go right away. "
After she left, Li Zhi planned to find Wen Jingting, but he stayed in the back mountain for a whole day, so he didn't know where Wen Jingting had been for the whole day.
It was also a coincidence that just as he was looking for someone, Elder Xu came over, "Is the leader looking for Hall Master Wen?"
When Li Zhi saw him, he immediately remembered Yinzhu's report, and they also went to Wen Jingting, only to find out that Wen Jingting also ordered the remaining two elders not to go down the mountain today, and the last person they saw was Elder Xu.
Later, when they were going to Wen Jingting's courtyard to look for the hall master, Elder Xu was also there, saying that he hadn't seen anyone, but he was too old to walk, so he waited in Wen Jingting's small courtyard, and notified them when someone came back.
Seeing Elder Xu now, Li Zhi was a little surprised.
"Aren't you waiting for someone at Hall Master Wen?"
Elder Xu limped over, with a hasty expression and obvious joy on his face. When he came to Li Zhi, he almost tripped over a stone in the ground, and Li Zhi frowned suddenly.
Fortunately, Elder Xu stood firmly on his own. He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Li Zhi: "Master, Hall Master Wen has returned and brought Elder Hu back, but Elder Hu seems to have been seriously injured. Hall Master Wen left No, let the subordinates come down and invite the leader to go. This matter cannot be known by too many people, and the leader should go with the subordinates."
Li Zhi asked, "You really found it?"
Elder Xu nodded vigorously, "Yes, but Elder Hu seems to be seriously injured."
He was vague, which aroused Li Zhi's curiosity.Although I don't know why Wen Jingting sent Elder Xu to invite him over, but seeing Elder Xu's old and sickly appearance, Li Zhi went anyway.
The sun was setting slowly, and a few stars hung on the sky, when Xiao Han just returned to the foot of the mountain.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Xiao Han paused for a moment when he saw the Fuyue Sect disciples who were guarding the guard post in front of the stele, but wanted to see Li Zhi as soon as possible, so he hurriedly rode up the mountain.
It wasn't until he met his subordinates stationed on the mountainside and saw the chaos on the mountain surrounded by fire, light, and moving figures. Xiao Han asked his subordinates, and found out that Ah Jiu was lost. However, only in the afternoon, someone took the hall master's token and came down the mountain, saying that there was not enough manpower, and invited a dozen disciples from the mountain to come up."
There are several sentry posts at the foot of the mountain, and Xiao Han knows that the congregation on the mountain will come down to take turns. This coincides with the strange place he saw when he came back.No wonder there are no guards at the foot of the mountain. He nodded and said, "Just now when I went up the mountain, I didn't see anyone. I didn't know that everyone had gone up the mountain. I guessed what happened."
It's just that Xiao Han was in a hurry to see Li Zhi, so it wasn't a big deal to only put a dozen people up, and they were all from the Fuyue Sect, so Xiao Han didn't pay attention, and turned to go up the mountain road.
For some reason, he is always restless today.
Maybe it was because he was too worried about Li Zhi, for fear that he would suddenly get sick when he was not around.
Thinking of the Gu worms on Li Zhi's body, Xiao Han's face sank unconsciously, and he hurried back to the main altar on the mountain before dark. Not long after he got off his horse, he saw the two hidden guards he had left on the mountain to protect Li Zhi.
At the same time, Li Zhi from the main altar on the top of the mountain followed Elder Xu to Wen Jingting courtyard.
Elder Xu brought the person into the courtyard, and then stood still in the courtyard, not moving forward, "The leader and Master Wen have important matters to discuss, and the subordinates dare not approach."
Hearing his words, the sense of disobedience in Li Zhi's heart became more and more intense. Wen Jingting would never use these elders to do things. Even in Elder Xu's words, he was in a hurry and had no one to choose, but...
Elder Xu took the initiative to stop in front of the door, which had to make Li Zhi think a lot, his hidden questioning eyes passed over Elder Xu indiscriminately.
Elder Xu lowered his head, seemingly unaware.
Li Zhi walked slowly to the door, looking at the faint candlelight on the window paper.
A figure was reflected on the window paper by the candlelight, and there seemed to be something wrong with the familiarity.
While being wary of the people behind him, Li Zhi slowly raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.
"Master Wen, I'm here."
There was a long silence in the room, and no one answered.
But the figure on the window paper was clearly still there, not moving... Li Zhi suddenly realized that something was wrong, the shadow was clearly very stiff!
Li Zhi subconsciously looked back at Elder Xu, that old and honest face was also looking at him in confusion, and asked in a whisper, "Master, what's wrong?"
Li Zhi took a step back, raised his chin and pointed to the door, "Go in and have a look."
Elder Xu pointed at himself, his face full of surprise.
"Yes, it's you."
Elder Xu hesitated for a while, without any further excuses, walked to the door step by step, and pushed the door open according to Li Zhi's eyes, and a thick bloody smell rushed out the moment the door opened.
Li Zhi was very familiar with this smell, he was familiar with it to the bone, and he thought that something had happened. Before he could order, Elder Xu seemed to be frightened. He ran into the room quickly holding the door frame, and shouted: "Elder Hu ! Xiao Wen, how do you..."
Elder Xu didn't say the whole thing, which made Li Zhi's heart tense, and he followed him in before he stepped into the threshold. At a glance, he saw Elder Hu lying on the ground in a pool of blood and not knowing whether he was alive or dead. Wen Jingting gagged and blinked at him desperately.Li Zhi noticed that he was looking behind him, and at the same time, a cold wind was blowing behind him.
Sure enough, there was an ambush!Li Zhi reacted very quickly and retreated a few steps away. Seeing that Mrs. Hu in a black gauze dress couldn't make a sneak attack, he blocked the way out in front of the door, and smiled at him with a gentle smile.
"Master Li, it's been a long time."
When he was outside the door, Li Zhi knew that there was someone in the room, but he didn't expect that it would be Wen Jingting who was tied up, Elder Hu fell to the ground motionless, and there was also the wife of the head of the Seven Star Hall who shouldn't be here.
Li Zhi's gaze slowly swept from her to Elder Xu who was not far from her, his eyes were already determined, "Why did Mrs. Hu come today? She broke into the main room of my hall without seeing you handing over the invitation. Who opened the mountain gate for you? Mrs. Hu also knows that you are so rude, I can definitely knock you down the mountain."
Elder Xu, who was squatting beside Elder Hu and pretending to be surprised, stood up, all the astonishment on his face disappeared, and he looked at Li Zhi with admiration, "Young Master is really not easy to deceive, but fortunately, you came in."
"So what?" Li Zhi was always cold and arrogant, he stepped forward to untie the acupuncture points on Wen Jingting's body, he didn't pay attention to the two people at all, and then pulled out the cloth scarf from Wen Jingting's mouth, Wen Jingting bumped him away, struggling to break free Unlocking the rope on his body, he said anxiously: "Leader, go away! There is poisonous incense burning in this room!"
Li Zhi was startled, and belatedly sensed a strong fragrance filling the room.
He was so anxious just now that he didn't notice the fragrance. Now that Wen Jingting reminded him, Li Zhi realized that the fragrance was so pleasant that he couldn't help but take another sip, and his cheeks were stained twice. Blushed, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot... Li Zhi knew something wrong, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose.
But it was too late. After he came in, he was troubled by the situation in front of him and inhaled a lot of poisonous incense. At this time, he had already had an attack, his heartbeat became faster and faster, and he clearly felt something in his heart began to be excited.
Madam Hu and Elder Xu were still very vigilant at first and did not dare to make a move easily, but now seeing Li Zhi tremble all of a sudden, he was able to stand still by holding onto the edge of the table, the two exchanged a look, and then walked towards Li Zhi.
Seeing this, Wen Jingting was also anxious. After he frantically broke the rope, most of the energy he had accumulated for a long time was gone. Fortunately, the medicine on his body had lost three points of its effect, and his internal energy slowly returned.Seeing the actions of Elder Xu and Elder Xu, he knew what they were going to do, and he didn't even want to protect Li Zhi.
"Leader, go away! I'm here to block it!"
Li Zhi hastily sealed several big acupoints, but had little effect, he still underestimated the poisonous fragrance, he only inhaled a small amount, and the Gu worm in his chest became agitated, running wildly around his heart.
This experience was not pleasant, no less than the last attack, his already sick complexion suddenly turned pale, the five fingers holding his heart tightened in vain, and he bit his lower lip to let out a painless breath, and his breath was long gone Chaos, the time of the onset of illness was indeed his weakest time.
"Wen..." Li Zhi just uttered a word, and he felt as if his whole body was on fire. The sharp pain in his heart quickly spread to the internal organs, and the blood flowed backwards, and there was no place on his body that felt good.
Li Zhi understood that he should have died back then, because this Gu worm was able to linger on, but it was not easy to live, and there was a price to be paid for stealing a life.
But right now it really hurts...
Even though he had experienced such pain countless times, Li Zhi still couldn't bear it.
"Don't think about it, you won't be able to run away." Elder Xu drew out his dagger, and almost walked towards them, when he stopped suddenly, a bloody hand grabbed his ankle.Seeing him not moving, Mrs. Hu inevitably looked over with some reproach, and was also surprised afterward.
Elder Hu, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, was still alive. He woke up at some point, got up and stopped Elder Xu. His pale blood-stained face was as ferocious as a ghost crawling out of the underworld.
Elder Xu quickly settled down, his face was full of disgust, "You're not dead yet."
Elder Hu's eyes seemed to lose focus, and he only looked up at the blurred figure, his facial features stretched out a little bit, forming a resentful smile, and his hoarse voice contained a sneer. "You, want me to die, and I won't make it easier for you..."
The sternness and coldness in the words made Wen Jingting and Li Zhi feel chills behind them after hearing it.
Elder Hu inadvertently delayed them for a while, Wen Jingting couldn't bear to look away, and pushed Li Zhi staggeringly to the window. He was opening the window forcefully, but Li Zhi gritted his teeth and swallowed the muffled moan that came to his mouth, trembling. Put your hand on Wen Jingting's arm.
Wen Jingting suddenly understood Li Zhi's meaning, he paused in his heart, and scolded: "Leave me alone! Go now, find someone to save me!"
Hearing this, Li Zhi's eyes regained some clarity.Yes, this is on his territory...
While he was hesitating, Wen Jingting finally knocked open the window.Li Zhi frowned, he was subconsciously unwilling to leave here, but Wen Jingting forced him to climb up the window lattice, half supporting and half pushing.
Before jumping down, Li Zhi came back to his senses in vain, and suddenly turned his head to look at Wen Jingting's face, his heart suddenly flustered, and he grabbed Wen Jingting's hand, his eyes were slightly red unconsciously, and a sour feeling rushed into his throat, making him His voice also became a little dry, "Uncle Wen, don't die, wait for me to come back."
Wen Jingting was stunned for a moment.He thought of Li Zhi who was still very young many years ago. As he grew up, Li Zhi no longer showed such dependent eyes to him. He became very strong and wanted to save face.
Wen Jingting can understand all these, after all, the leader has grown up.However, until now, at this moment, Wen Jingting realized that no matter how old Li Zhi is or how good his martial arts are, in his eyes, he is still the one he saw when he was at the lowest point in his life, who would call him uncle and learn from him earnestly. A sick and weak child.
From the first day Li Zhi went up the mountain, his pale, timid and hesitant appearance had already been deeply embedded in Wen Jingting's heart.
This is the little leader I will pledge allegiance to in the future.
Not as annoying as his father...
The first time I talked to him and coaxed him to call him uncle, Wen Jingting thought, it's really easy to lie, but he's so fragile, I'm afraid I can't leave him, and I'm going to die if I'm not careful.But he didn't want the child to die. When he saw him, he would think of himself when he first went up the mountain many years ago.
He also suffered a lot when he was young, and later he was appreciated by Luo Yun to enter the main arena.
But this child is different, he is so weak, he will get sick if he is not careful, so he must be pampered.
So Wen Jingting wanted to take care of Li Zhi a little more, and he cared a little more for him every day. In the end, he was reluctant to let him die, and worried about him for half his life, almost treating him as his own son.
But in the end he was raised.
Wen Jingting looked at Li Zhi's face full of stubborn insistence on him to answer, and smiled proudly.
"it is good."
