Homecoming through online games
Chapter 59 Impermanence
=====================
Baicaotang is a Jianghu sect that practices medical science and poisonous arts, but like the other five sects, the education of reading and calligraphy for its disciples is quite strict since childhood.In Baicaotang's education, the most important thing is self-cultivation, that is, the disciples' daily moral character and how they treat others.This criterion of measurement is not quite satisfactory, and it is even a bit deviant in some places. For example, "there is no priority in learning, and those who have achieved it first" is a ranking that does not take into account seniority, but most of the education on morality and conduct Still not much difference.
The disciples of Baicaotang will respect and worship those colleagues who have made achievements in medicine, science and poisonous arts, and they will argue endlessly because of differences in certain aspects, and even almost disregard their demeanor. Feeling insulted by losing an argument.But in daily life, if someone violates the moral principles that are customary and engraved in the heart, they will be looked down upon by everyone.Under this kind of education, Jing An's accusation that Gu Xingyan was "lack of cultivation" became a very serious accusation, far more serious than accusing the other party of "not good at skills".This is almost tantamount to blatantly saying that Gu Xingyan's morality is bad, and it can even be said that he is questioning the other party's personality.
And considering Jing An's personality, such words are quite fierce.What's more, Wen Zhuang had never heard Jing An mention any dissatisfaction with Gu Xingyan before, so he was quite puzzled for a while.
Given the current situation in Xiliang, he didn't think it was a suitable time to change the chief. After all, the chief Jing An was temporarily acting as the sect master at this time.At the time when the Mingzhi sect master and most of the outstanding disciples were still away from home, even if Jing An directly refused Gu Xingyan's challenge, there was nothing wrong with him. That's why he didn't insist on stopping Gu Xingyan's behavior. if.
On such an important occasion as Wanyi, in front of many disciples, if there is no reasonable explanation for saying this sentence, with Gu Xingyan's current popularity, Jing An's prestige will definitely plummet.Jing An is not someone who likes aimless targets, so did he really discover something?
Wen Zhuang waited intently for Jing An's answer, but Jing An didn't look at Wen Zhuang.From the moment he said that sentence, his eyes were only on Gu Xingyan from the beginning to the end, and the restlessness in the hall did not disturb him at all. He was still sitting on the chair, with his hands firmly on the armrests, and did not knock again. the bell.
And right now, when the hall became quiet again, he stood up.
Jing An said, "Junior Brother Gu, doesn't he feel that he has done something wrong?"
Gu Xingyan seemed to be startled by the unexpected accusation just now, his face was gloomy but he didn't speak for a while, but at this time, facing Jing An's questioning, he quickly reacted and countered with a sneer: "I don't know what I did. What, to get such an evaluation from Senior Brother Jing. I should ask Senior Brother Jing for advice."
Jing An tapped on the table in front of him, and read smoothly as if reciting a book: "Jasper Green, Heartbroken Grass, Yan Wangxiao..." After naming more than a dozen kinds of herbs, he stopped and said , "Now, Junior Brother Gu, do you feel that you have done something wrong?"
He looked deeply at Gu Xingyan, and said meaningfully: "Junior Brother Gu, some mistakes can always be corrected. And some mistakes, once it is too late, there is no room for redemption."
Gu Xingyan was a little puzzled at first, but then he remembered something, and his body froze imperceptibly.
Jing An looked at Gu Xingyan, he had little contact with this person before.The other party is always alone in a hurry, and the eyes he casts are indifferent and alienated. When he sees Wen Zhuang around him a few times, he has always been not very gregarious.In my impression, he seldom even participated in the evening meetings. He was obviously good at poisoning. When he was a silent teenager in his teens, he had a seat at the table, but he never took the initiative to fight for the front seat.Later, he disappeared for a long time without hearing from him, and when he came back suddenly, he had already become this thin and indifferent.
When the epidemic was raging, in order to investigate the source, he asked his disciples to ask the residents during their visits, whether there were any inexplicable disappearances or sudden deaths during that time, or other strange omens.In the end, it was a rumor unintentionally and angrily spoken by a disciple that attracted his attention.
Some people say that a person died near Baicaotang.
Baicao Hall occupies a vast area, and the rumor is vague, and its source is unknown, not to mention it has been going on for a long time.However, the death of the person in the rumors was extremely tragic, as if only a disciple of the Poison Department could do it.Of course there are rumors exaggerating and distorting elements, or it may just be rumors in the villages and towns due to fear of poisonous disciples, but at that sensitive time, he always had to think more.After some questioning, he really found the original source of the rumor.
The man named Huzi is dead.Because he didn't trust the prescription of Baicaotang, he didn't take the medicine and died of the epidemic.
The matter should have ended here - if he hadn't found traces of the soul-chasing Gu on Hu Zi's body.
After carefully confirming that Huzi really died of the epidemic, Jing An chose to bury the matter in his heart.When it's the season, don't be too busy.
So when the bones that were suspected to be bitten by demons were found later, Jing An approached Ye Mu.He really didn't want this epidemic to be related to the poison system of Baicaotang.
But in fact, he also left another set of bones.A pair of blackened bones found near Baicaotang.
Ordinary medicine students only thought that the owner of the bone might have been poisoned by some kind of poison or the changes caused by the epidemic, but after careful identification, Jing An recognized that there were at least seven or eight kinds of poisons intertwined on it.
At that moment he straightened up in shock, the first reaction that flashed in his mind was that it was fortunate that Wen Zhuang was away busy and not here!
When he realized this, Jing An admitted that he finally inevitably became suspicious of the poison department—even if the best of them were his opponents and friends for many years.
In fact, he doesn't have a deep knowledge of poison art, but he is better than Bowen.There are all kinds of books in the library of Baicaotang, among which there are some strange works left by the predecessors with strange temperaments.Among them is a work by a master of the poison department who is suspected to be his ambition. It has hundreds of pages, all of which are traces that may be left after death caused by different poisons. The type of poison that will be eliminated.
Jing An was not an author, but he could also see that among the traces of poisons that he could identify left on the bones, some of them alone were enough to kill people quickly.It wasn't for killing or torturing, but so many kinds of poisons were used on one person... Even if he didn't want to, Jing An still recalled some bad memories.
There are many reasons for the embarrassing status of poisonous disciples, but they must be related to some scum who came from the poisonous department many years ago.
--experiment.
Human experimentation.
As the actual head of Baicao Hall, Jing An can do many things.The most effort in the investigation was to avoid the eyes and ears of the poison department, and to be busy with the daily affairs and epidemic work in the door. Even so, he finally followed the herbs in Jade Garden to get the records and found the person behind it. .
Gu Xingyan.
Seeing this result, he didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief.Because then he thought of the fact that Gu Xingyan had always admired Wenzhuang, and he had lost contact with Wenzhuang for a while when he was traveling, and the time happened to coincide with Gu Xingyan.
Could it be a coincidence?
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, it will be difficult to regain trust.When talking with Wen Zhuang several times, and worried about the current situation of Baicaotang, Jing An could hardly restrain himself from asking questions.But in the end, he just covered up all the abnormalities, talked as usual, and spent more energy behind the scenes to monitor the movements of the poisonous disciples. Carefully inquired about Wen Zhuang's whereabouts.
He had almost become the kind of person he hated the most.But when the relationship between the medicine department and the poison department was becoming increasingly tense, and there were still threats of epidemic diseases and unknown monsters, Jing An didn't dare to take any risks.
Is it the trust in friends, or the responsibility to the sect?When comparing the two with the entire Baicao Hall on his back, Jing An found that the friendship he cherished was so fragile that it was insignificant.
This kind of self-loathing and heavy pressure forced him, and when he realized that Gu Xingyan was about to make a move, Jing An even had a feeling of "ah, it's finally here".
Disregarding the possibility of causing misunderstanding among the disciples, this kind of implicit questioning was adopted.Jing An didn't know what kind of result he wanted, but he probably still held expectations in his heart, and it would be best to resolve everything gently.
Gu Xingyan ruthlessly shattered his idea.
Gu Xingyan just sneered, and asked loudly in a voice that everyone could hear: "Senior Brother Jing, be careful, you say it like I did something wrong. I can't bear the title. Brother Jing still Tell me, what did Gu Xingyan do wrong? So that everyone can hear clearly."
Looking over, Jing An saw ridicule and malice.Gu Xingyan's attitude is clearly forcing him to make a choice, whether to take the name of insulting his junior indiscriminately, or to tell the matter to the public, so that the relationship between the medicine department and the poison department that has just tended to ease will be broken again!
Jing An's face darkened.
And following Gu Xingyan's words, the text on Ye Mu's mission panel, who was watching from the beam, had a new change.
[For the Mountain Nine Ren] Gu Xingyan entrusts you to help him keep his secret.
【Task progress】50/100
[Current Status] Stop Jing An from revealing Gu Xingyan's secret. (30s)
A countdown number is followed by the state, which is beating down by one second.
Timed mission?
Ye Mu weighed the pros and cons for about three seconds, and then jumped off the beam in embarrassment.
The people who were watching the dignified situation in the hall with bated breath only felt that there was an extra person who was out of place in the original confrontation scene.
A person who is obviously not a disciple of Baicaotang, and many disciples have met before.
Jing An paused for a while before he came back to his senses, and asked suspiciously, "Young Xia Ye?"
Not far behind Ye Mu, Gu Xingyan's expression also changed, but he restrained himself and didn't speak.
Ye Mu tried his best to ignore the fiery gazes of the people in all directions, and greeted him with fists together, saying, "Jing Shaoxia."
While procrastinating for time, he secretly glanced at the task bar from the corner of his eye.
The countdown number disappeared, but the task status remained unchanged.
If the time-limited task is not completed within the time limit, it will be directly judged that the entire task has failed.Now, by showing up suddenly, he temporarily stopped what Jing An was going to say, but then...
Ye Mu said seriously: "Jing Shaoxia, I have some important matters, can I take a moment to speak?"
It was as serious as if he had just paid a sudden visit, rather than spying on an important meeting of his sect just now.
Jing An suddenly understood why Ye Mu suddenly appeared here, his expression remained unchanged, and he said politely: "Young Xia Ye, there are some internal affairs to be dealt with in Baicaotang now, please discuss about Young Xia Ye later."
The pronunciation of the word "internal affairs" is deliberately emphasized.
Ye Mu pretended he didn't hear Jing An's refusal, strode towards Jing An, put his hand on Jing An's shoulder with rare enthusiasm, and said, "Jing Shaoxia should listen to it first before making a decision, it is indeed very important." Important things." From an angle that no one could see, he whispered two words in Jing An's ear indiscernibly.
"demon."
I don't know why I always feel that there seems to be a sudden sharp stare in the many eyes on the back, which makes people's back feel cold. Ye Mu let go of his hand as if nothing had happened, and after keeping a certain safe distance from Jing An, he resumed his serious state , asked: "What does Jing Shaoxia think?"
Jing An took a cautious look at Ye Mu, seeing that the other party didn't look like he was joking, and thought that there were people from other sects here, so it would be difficult to continue talking about the secrecy in the sect, so he nodded and turned to Wenzhuang Road : "The evening discussion will continue, Wen Zhuang, I will leave this to you first, I will go back as soon as I go."
Then he looked at Gu Xingyan and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Gu, we will discuss the matter between you and me later."
Gu Xingyan unexpectedly didn't object or criticize anymore, just thinking about something gloomyly.Silently watching Ye Mu and Jing An walk past him.
When passing by, Ye Mu and Gu Xingyan's eyes met, and they nodded to him subtly by turning their heads to talk to Jing An to cover up.
Gu Xingyan didn't say anything else, seeing the two people walked out of the hall, without Wen Zhuang's persuasion, he snorted coldly and sat down at the end of the long table that belonged to him.
Forget it, the plan was ruined by this guy today, so it doesn't matter if you stop for the time being, after all, you can still find opportunities in these two days.However, it seems that this person should be dealt with as soon as possible.That ghoul didn't know where it went, and it didn't show up for a day, otherwise they joined forces, and now there should be a newborn ghoul in this world, so why would it be this guy's turn to mess with him.
Just wait patiently, the ghoul will definitely appear at the appointed time around night.Gu Xingyan gritted his teeth secretly.
Regardless of how weird the atmosphere of the following evening discussion in the conference hall was, Jing An and Ye Mu left the conference hall at a distance to ensure that no one could hear their words, then stood still and said, "What's the matter with Ye Shaoxia? said."
Ye Mu didn't hide anything, and cut straight to the point: "What Jing Shaoxia originally wanted to say in the hall, can we talk about it later?"
Jing An's gaze sank, and he tried his best to control his tone and said, "This is Baicaotang's internal affairs, so don't worry about Ye Shaoxia. If Ye Shaoxia just wants to talk about this, Jing An can only say, excuse me." After finishing speaking, he wanted to leave.
Ye Mu said: "I found a sky-level monster."
Jing An paused, then turned to look at Ye Mu, with suspicion in his eyes, but he finally continued to listen to Ye Mu.
Ye Mu said: "I don't know who sealed this monster, but the seal has been loosened recently, which made me aware of the trace. I'm not sure if this is related to the epidemic, but it's better to exterminate it earlier I am single and weak, so I can only entrust this matter to Baicaotang after thinking about it."
The unfinished meaning in the words is to persuade Jing An that it is not appropriate to turmoil within the sect in the face of powerful enemies.
Of course Jing An understood this truth.If what Ye Mu said is true, the issues of epidemics and demons are always more important than the moral issues of the disciples.In fact, if Gu Xingyan hadn't been the first to act aggressively, he originally planned to let the disciples recuperate for a few days before solving this problem.
For a while, he couldn't tell the truth of Ye Mu's words, Jing An asked, "Where is this monster sealed?"
"The cemetery outside the town."
"Okay." Jing An said, "If Ye Shaoxia's words are true, Baicao Hall will work together to get rid of this disaster."
[For the Mountain Nine Ren] Gu Xingyan entrusts you to help him keep his secret.
【Task progress】60/100
[Current Status] Jing An promises to keep it a secret for the time being.Although the atmosphere is a bit strange, it seems that the evening meeting can proceed smoothly?
No, since the reminder said so, it will definitely not go well.Ye Mu thought silently.
He caught up with Jing An who was walking back, and said, "Jing Shaoxia, let's go together."
The tone is natural, as if you were really invited.
Jing An glanced at Ye Mu wordlessly, and hurried back to see what was going on in the hall, not wanting to get involved with him, and thinking that there would be no important arrangements for the next evening meeting, he just let him go.However, when he entrusted the task before, he had a rare impression of Ye Mu getting better, but he was about to fall back to the bottom again.
What was written in those miscellaneous notes turned out to be correct, and the people in the Palace of Seven Kills really have a heart for gossip.
Anyway, as soon as the two returned to the hall, they were discovered by the absent-minded people.With scrutinizing eyes, Ye Mu looked around the hall, picked up an empty chair, and found a place not far from Jiang Wang's hiding place where he could advance, retreat, and defend, and had a good view. sat down.He also nodded very friendly to the disciples who were watching him nearby.
Compared with Jing An, Ye Mu received less attention.But when Jing An and Gu Xingyan said that the matter should be put on hold for the next evening meeting, Gu Xingyan just laughed loudly and unexpectedly did not raise any objections.The evening discussion went on in such a weird atmosphere that seemed harmonious on the surface.
Halfway through the discussion, Jing An finally rang the bell again.
After looking around the hall for a week, he said calmly: "Junior Brother Gu has developed an effective prescription for the recent epidemic disease. Let Junior Brother Gu explain it to everyone."
Gu Xingyan stood up, but before he could speak, an abrupt voice sounded.
"Ha, explain? He deserves it too!"
After going through so many ups and downs tonight, the disciples seemed to be getting used to it, looking around for the person who spoke.
The moment the voice sounded, Ye Mu turned his head to look in the direction of the speaker, it was a male disciple near the door.Ye Mu did have a little impression of him, this person came in hastily when the evening meeting was about to start, just in time to meet Gu Xingyan's group of people blocking the door.The man was carrying a large medicine box, hurried past them with his head down, and found an empty seat to sit down.Because most disciples will subconsciously find a place to sit far away from the group of people, so this person's unusual reaction made Ye Mu pay attention to him a little bit.
After the man said that, he stood up by himself.Say loudly: "This kind of people who have no virtue and righteousness are not worthy of explaining to others!"
There was some commotion in one place among the disciples. A female disciple stood up and hurriedly walked to the side of the male disciple. She seemed to be recovering from a serious illness.Seeing this, the male disciple didn't care about what to say for a while, he stepped forward and hugged the female disciple's shoulder, as if he wanted to help her sit down, but the female disciple insisted on standing where she was, and the two argued quietly What, the voice of the male disciple suddenly became louder, and he said: "Zhao Yu, you have been deceived! That Gu Xingyan is not a good person at all!"
With one word out, there was complete silence in the arena.The female disciple named Zhaoyu looked towards Gu Xingyan in embarrassment, as if she wanted to say something, but the male disciple forced him down on the chair and sat down.
They are busy arguing between the young couple, but Gu Xingyan is not in the character of being scolded for nothing.He sneered and slapped his palms a few times, and said, "This way of thanking you is really unique. Gu Xingyan has learned the cultivation of a medicine student."
It made the disciples of the medicine department feel embarrassed. Even though the relationship with the disciples of the poison department is not close on weekdays, it is true that the prescription developed by Gu Xingyan saved the lives of many disciples of the medicine department, and even Zhao Yu was one of them. one.As Zhao Yu's husband, Zhong Shui, who spoke, said such words to Gu Xingyan, who can be said to be a benefactor, it was really too much.
Jing An said in a deep voice, "Zhong Shui, you are rude."
Zhong Shui looked at Jing An, and asked loudly, "Senior Brother Jing, why didn't you tell everyone?"
tell what?Ye Mu's first reaction was what Jing An said at the beginning of the evening discussion.
He immediately looked at the mission panel, but the information on it remained unchanged.
With a sudden change in his mind, Ye Mu decided to stand still for the time being.
Unless it is required by the mission, he is still happy to see Gu Xingyan's misfortune, whether it is for public or private purposes.
At the beginning, Jing An also thought that Zhong Shui was referring to his initial words, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was really impossible.Not to mention that his investigations have always been secretive and cautious, but when he got the evidence to confirm that Gu Xingyan did it, Zhao Yu was seriously ill in bed, and Zhong Shui stayed by the bed all day to take care of him. How could he have the energy to pay attention to him? investigation?
So he said: "Jingshui, it's a late meeting now. If you have any personal grievances, we can settle them after the late meeting."
But Zhong Shui seemed to confirm something from this sentence, and said, "Senior brother Jing, are you really going to cover them up and ignore the facts?" He raised his hand and pointed directly at Gu Xingyan.
they?
In connection with Zhong Shui's consistent views and views on the poison system, Jing An realized that Zhong Shui might have misunderstood something.However, on this occasion, he could only stop him and said, "Come to me after the evening meeting, and we'll talk about it later."
As for the cover-up accusation, breaking up with Zhong Shui at this point only made matters worse.Such an unfounded accusation Jing An could afford to recite, so he skipped it.
Gu Xingyan, who was watching coldly, showed a sneer on his face.
And this ridicule was seen by Zhong Shui, and it seemed that it happened to touch some nerve of him.He who was hesitant at first became angry immediately, picked up the big medicine box at his feet, walked to the long table in a hurry, and put it on the table with a bang.Immediately without waiting for the disciples to respond, he opened the medicine box.
In an instant, a stench permeated the air.
They are all experts in medical science and toxicology, except that when they first smelled the smell, they subconsciously held their breath to prevent poisoning, and then they could tell that the smell is not harmful-only in terms of health.So someone at the table got up curiously and looked into the medicine box, and his face immediately changed drastically.
Ye Mu glanced thoughtfully at the task panel, which was still motionless.
He probably knew what was in the box.
The fact is indeed as he thought.
After Gu Xingyan glanced into the medicine box, his complexion changed, he looked at Zhong Shui, and said angrily: "You!"
Zhong Shui stared back and said loudly, "This is what I found in your room. What else do you have to say?"
He lifted the medicine box and dumped all the contents on the long table with a clatter.
The liquid splashed, and the stench spread, but then there were more and more exclamations, and the sound became louder, and even Jing An and Wen Zhuang couldn't help but change their faces.
A strangely colored liquid was scattered, but what was more eye-catching was a small corpse that could barely see its original shape lying in it.If you look closely, those who can see it clearly can't help but break out in a cold sweat.Some young disciples turned their heads in disgust, almost unwilling to take a second look.
The traces on the corpse made everyone who saw it understand what happened to it.
Immediately, more and more questioning eyes fell on Gu Xingyan.
But Gu Xingyan gradually calmed down after the emotional fluctuations at the beginning.
In the end, he sneered and took the initiative to break the deadlock.
"So what? What do you want to say?"
Such an indifferent speech obviously made many people look at it in shock and disbelief, but Zhong Shui was not shaken by it. Perhaps in his mind, Gu Xingyan would not surprise him no matter how despicable he was.He threw the medicine box in his hand aside, made a loud noise, stared at Gu Xingyan and said, "Have you done this kind of experiment many times? Secretly, how many people have you killed?"
He suddenly turned his head, stared straight at Wen Zhuang, and said loudly, "This epidemic was planned by you! Wen Zhuang, Senior Brother Wen!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
After a sudden exclamation, the hall became strangely quiet again.All eyes were on Jing An, Wen Zhuang, Zhong Shui and Gu Xingyan, listening to Zhong Shui's questions one after another.
Although the logic seemed absurd at first glance, but listening to it, some medicine disciples couldn't help but have doubts.That's right, not to mention that none of the disciples of the Poison Department were infected with the disease, but about the experiment, Gu Xingyan almost admitted it with his own mouth, and this alone can tell his virtue!And such a person, would he really be so kind, researching a cure for the disease to save people?Shouldn't it be, it's really a self-directed and self-acted play.
The atmosphere in the hall was getting weirder and weirder, but Gu Xingyan just stood there with his hands folded in his sleeves and sneered nonchalantly. For some reason, Wen Zhuang just sat on his seat with his face downcast, wondering what he was thinking Jing Tong wanted to jump up several times to refute, but couldn't bear to look away when his eyes touched the corpse on the table, and finally looked at his brother for help.
As for Jing An, at this moment he finally made a move.
Instead of ringing the bell, he stood up and said beyond doubt: "End water, shut up."
The voice was not particularly loud, and even the tone was not very intense, but despite Jing An's stop a few times before, but with a wave of emotion to make the matter come to the present, even Wen Zhuang dared to criticize Zhong Shui, just after this sound , suddenly stopped talking.
Momentum is a very magical thing, maybe it's voice, eyes, demeanor, or something else, in short, Jing An at this moment makes people subconsciously dare not resist.
The hall was quiet.Jing An glanced at Gu Xingyan, but finally his eyes fell on Wen Zhuang.
"Wen Zhuang." He said.He has called Wen Zhuang like this countless times, helplessly gentle, serious and close, but only this time, he called Wen Zhuang in a serious manner without any personal feelings.
Wen Zhuang raised his eyes to look at Jing An, his face was expressionless as if frozen.
Jing An acted as if he hadn't noticed Wen Zhuang's anomaly, and asked, "Aren't you going to refute what Zhong Shui said?"
Wen Zhuang was silent for a moment, this moment seemed very long to the people in the hall, then he opened his mouth, his voice was low and hoarse, almost not like his voice: "Such ridiculous words, why should I refute?" ?”
After saying this, he shut his mouth tightly again, as silent as a stone statue.
Zhong Shui almost couldn't hold back his sarcasm, but he still kept his mouth shut because of the current atmosphere.
Jing An turned his gaze to Gu Xingyan again, and said, "Gu Xingyan, are you experimenting with human bodies?"
Gu Xingyan seemed to feel a little ridiculous about the current situation, but it was rare for him to answer honestly: "Yes."
Jing An asked, "A living person, or a dead body?"
Gu Xingyan paused for a while, pretending to be reminiscing, and then said lightly: "There are all of them." He added maliciously, "And, a lot."
There was silence in the hall, and the shocking questions and answers continued.
Jing An said, "Why?"
This question seemed to hit the point. Gu Xingyan straightened his back and said, "Of course it's for research."
Without waiting for Jing An to continue asking, he sneered first and said, "Let me tell you what you want to ask. You avoid human experiments, but you don't know how useful it is. That's right, I did it with corpses. experiment, but if you don’t do it, do you really think that you can develop a perfect prescription to solve the disease in a short period of time just by relying on the unchanging knowledge in the book and the mild formula?” He moved his chin After clicking on the corpse on the table, the sunken eyes were amazingly bright.He said: "Think that is disgusting and tragic? It was born without it, and today, people here," he dragged his voice, looking around the hall, many people frantically avoided when they met his gaze He paused when he saw Ye Mu, his originally good mood was badly affected, but then he recovered, looked at Jing An again, opened his arms, and said, "There will be dozens less people here, and more people will come here." Dozens of corpses. What else? Crying, hatred, death. Brother Jing, you always feel that I have ulterior motives, but if it weren't for me, you think you can sit safely in the seat of the chief disciple now, with the head of the chief disciple Posture, pointing fingers at my way of doing things here? And you!" He turned around to face the people in the hall, looked straight at Zhao Yu sitting by the door with vicious eyes, and laughed loudly, "I don't agree ?This is how your life was bought! If you don’t agree, you can die yourself! Do you think it’s immoral? How many dying patients can be saved by this prescription? If it’s immoral, don’t use it and watch those people Go to hell! This is your self-cultivation, your so-called morality?"
Perhaps many people were shaken and fell into thinking because of this, but Ye Mu was not included.He looked at the mission panel.
[For the Mountain Nine Rens] Gu Xingyan's secret.
【Task progress】70/100
[Current Status] Gu Xingyan admitted the human experiment, and the prescription to save the epidemic was obtained from the human experiment.
Mission changed?
Judging from the current task title, it seems that as long as one knows all of Gu Xingyan's secrets, the task can be completed.
At this time, Gu Xingyan began to ask Jing An aggressively: "Brother Jing, do you think what I did was right? Or was it wrong? Should I do the experiment, or should I watch my classmates die?"
Jing An replied unwaveringly: "Junior Brother Gu, human experiments are wrong."
"The same standard answer as written in the book." Gu Xingyan said in a tone that was not a compliment, waved his hand, turned to Wen Zhuang again, and his tone suddenly became polite, "Brother Wen, do you think what I did was right?" , or wrong? If it were you, what would you do?"
Although Gu Xingyan kept staring at him eagerly for answers, Wen Zhuang just kept silent.
In the end, Gu Xingyan seemed to be discouraged, and turned his head in a bad mood, but happened to see Ye Mu.
With a malicious smile on his face, he suddenly said: "Speaking of which, my research can go so smoothly thanks to the help of one person, and you all have to thank him very much."
Ye Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a bad premonition.
Could it be that Gu Xingyan was planning to beat him up because he saw that the matter had been brought to light?After all, his behavior in Baicao Hall cannot be said to be flawless, and the timing of his appearance in the hall just now was also very coincidental, so he dragged Jing An out to talk for a while.If Gu Xingyan really gets involved with him, maybe he can also throw a basin of dirty water on Jing An by the way.
Even though he was thinking this way, Ye Mu still sat motionless like a mountain, just seeing tricks left and right.
In the dark not far away, a pale hand caressed the long knife in hand.Hold the handle with your fingers and slowly tighten it.
I really want to kill. When chattering so proudly, I suddenly choke everything I want to say in my throat, making people's life come to an abrupt end full of unwillingness. It must be a very wonderful feeling.
The dim eyes fell on Gu Xingyan's neck.From this point of view, it only takes one knife to end this person's life.
It can be hard to hold back your anticipation and longing when a long-awaited opportunity is right in front of you.
The tightened fingers slowly loosened, and the hand moved away from the handle.
It's agreed, just wait a little longer.
Just a second.
Gu Xingyan was about to speak, but suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and a cold and terrifying premonition of death enveloped him instantly.All the hairs on his body exploded in an instant, relying on the skills honed in his life and death, he rolled to the side in a state of embarrassment, and raised his head in shock, but only saw the suspicious eyes in the hall.
The illusion of death that almost suffocated him just now has faded like a tide.
No, that's not an illusion!The feeling he experienced in the southeast wilderness can't be wrong.
He was sure that someone wanted to kill him.
That person—right in the hall!
Looking at faces falteringly, Gu Xingyan's heart skipped a beat when he thought of what he said just now.
If you want to kill him because of those words... is it that ghoul?
In an instant, Gu Xingyan dismissed the idea of causing trouble for Ye Mu and Jing An.
His time is running out.
Restraining all his madness, he patted off the dust stained on his robe from the rolling just now, raised his head, straightened his back, and put his hands in his sleeves, Gu Xingyan seemed to have returned to the usual aloof poison disciple .
He sat down in his seat, looked at the standing disciples, and then calmly asked Jing An: "Brother Jing, is the evening discussion still going on? Should I do this explanation or not?"
For a moment, all eyes in the hall were on Jing An.
Now that the matter has come to this point, Jing An is determined that it is impossible to keep silent about Gu Xingyan's actions.He quickly made a decision, and said calmly: "Gu Xingyan violated
Baicaotang is a Jianghu sect that practices medical science and poisonous arts, but like the other five sects, the education of reading and calligraphy for its disciples is quite strict since childhood.In Baicaotang's education, the most important thing is self-cultivation, that is, the disciples' daily moral character and how they treat others.This criterion of measurement is not quite satisfactory, and it is even a bit deviant in some places. For example, "there is no priority in learning, and those who have achieved it first" is a ranking that does not take into account seniority, but most of the education on morality and conduct Still not much difference.
The disciples of Baicaotang will respect and worship those colleagues who have made achievements in medicine, science and poisonous arts, and they will argue endlessly because of differences in certain aspects, and even almost disregard their demeanor. Feeling insulted by losing an argument.But in daily life, if someone violates the moral principles that are customary and engraved in the heart, they will be looked down upon by everyone.Under this kind of education, Jing An's accusation that Gu Xingyan was "lack of cultivation" became a very serious accusation, far more serious than accusing the other party of "not good at skills".This is almost tantamount to blatantly saying that Gu Xingyan's morality is bad, and it can even be said that he is questioning the other party's personality.
And considering Jing An's personality, such words are quite fierce.What's more, Wen Zhuang had never heard Jing An mention any dissatisfaction with Gu Xingyan before, so he was quite puzzled for a while.
Given the current situation in Xiliang, he didn't think it was a suitable time to change the chief. After all, the chief Jing An was temporarily acting as the sect master at this time.At the time when the Mingzhi sect master and most of the outstanding disciples were still away from home, even if Jing An directly refused Gu Xingyan's challenge, there was nothing wrong with him. That's why he didn't insist on stopping Gu Xingyan's behavior. if.
On such an important occasion as Wanyi, in front of many disciples, if there is no reasonable explanation for saying this sentence, with Gu Xingyan's current popularity, Jing An's prestige will definitely plummet.Jing An is not someone who likes aimless targets, so did he really discover something?
Wen Zhuang waited intently for Jing An's answer, but Jing An didn't look at Wen Zhuang.From the moment he said that sentence, his eyes were only on Gu Xingyan from the beginning to the end, and the restlessness in the hall did not disturb him at all. He was still sitting on the chair, with his hands firmly on the armrests, and did not knock again. the bell.
And right now, when the hall became quiet again, he stood up.
Jing An said, "Junior Brother Gu, doesn't he feel that he has done something wrong?"
Gu Xingyan seemed to be startled by the unexpected accusation just now, his face was gloomy but he didn't speak for a while, but at this time, facing Jing An's questioning, he quickly reacted and countered with a sneer: "I don't know what I did. What, to get such an evaluation from Senior Brother Jing. I should ask Senior Brother Jing for advice."
Jing An tapped on the table in front of him, and read smoothly as if reciting a book: "Jasper Green, Heartbroken Grass, Yan Wangxiao..." After naming more than a dozen kinds of herbs, he stopped and said , "Now, Junior Brother Gu, do you feel that you have done something wrong?"
He looked deeply at Gu Xingyan, and said meaningfully: "Junior Brother Gu, some mistakes can always be corrected. And some mistakes, once it is too late, there is no room for redemption."
Gu Xingyan was a little puzzled at first, but then he remembered something, and his body froze imperceptibly.
Jing An looked at Gu Xingyan, he had little contact with this person before.The other party is always alone in a hurry, and the eyes he casts are indifferent and alienated. When he sees Wen Zhuang around him a few times, he has always been not very gregarious.In my impression, he seldom even participated in the evening meetings. He was obviously good at poisoning. When he was a silent teenager in his teens, he had a seat at the table, but he never took the initiative to fight for the front seat.Later, he disappeared for a long time without hearing from him, and when he came back suddenly, he had already become this thin and indifferent.
When the epidemic was raging, in order to investigate the source, he asked his disciples to ask the residents during their visits, whether there were any inexplicable disappearances or sudden deaths during that time, or other strange omens.In the end, it was a rumor unintentionally and angrily spoken by a disciple that attracted his attention.
Some people say that a person died near Baicaotang.
Baicao Hall occupies a vast area, and the rumor is vague, and its source is unknown, not to mention it has been going on for a long time.However, the death of the person in the rumors was extremely tragic, as if only a disciple of the Poison Department could do it.Of course there are rumors exaggerating and distorting elements, or it may just be rumors in the villages and towns due to fear of poisonous disciples, but at that sensitive time, he always had to think more.After some questioning, he really found the original source of the rumor.
The man named Huzi is dead.Because he didn't trust the prescription of Baicaotang, he didn't take the medicine and died of the epidemic.
The matter should have ended here - if he hadn't found traces of the soul-chasing Gu on Hu Zi's body.
After carefully confirming that Huzi really died of the epidemic, Jing An chose to bury the matter in his heart.When it's the season, don't be too busy.
So when the bones that were suspected to be bitten by demons were found later, Jing An approached Ye Mu.He really didn't want this epidemic to be related to the poison system of Baicaotang.
But in fact, he also left another set of bones.A pair of blackened bones found near Baicaotang.
Ordinary medicine students only thought that the owner of the bone might have been poisoned by some kind of poison or the changes caused by the epidemic, but after careful identification, Jing An recognized that there were at least seven or eight kinds of poisons intertwined on it.
At that moment he straightened up in shock, the first reaction that flashed in his mind was that it was fortunate that Wen Zhuang was away busy and not here!
When he realized this, Jing An admitted that he finally inevitably became suspicious of the poison department—even if the best of them were his opponents and friends for many years.
In fact, he doesn't have a deep knowledge of poison art, but he is better than Bowen.There are all kinds of books in the library of Baicaotang, among which there are some strange works left by the predecessors with strange temperaments.Among them is a work by a master of the poison department who is suspected to be his ambition. It has hundreds of pages, all of which are traces that may be left after death caused by different poisons. The type of poison that will be eliminated.
Jing An was not an author, but he could also see that among the traces of poisons that he could identify left on the bones, some of them alone were enough to kill people quickly.It wasn't for killing or torturing, but so many kinds of poisons were used on one person... Even if he didn't want to, Jing An still recalled some bad memories.
There are many reasons for the embarrassing status of poisonous disciples, but they must be related to some scum who came from the poisonous department many years ago.
--experiment.
Human experimentation.
As the actual head of Baicao Hall, Jing An can do many things.The most effort in the investigation was to avoid the eyes and ears of the poison department, and to be busy with the daily affairs and epidemic work in the door. Even so, he finally followed the herbs in Jade Garden to get the records and found the person behind it. .
Gu Xingyan.
Seeing this result, he didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief.Because then he thought of the fact that Gu Xingyan had always admired Wenzhuang, and he had lost contact with Wenzhuang for a while when he was traveling, and the time happened to coincide with Gu Xingyan.
Could it be a coincidence?
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, it will be difficult to regain trust.When talking with Wen Zhuang several times, and worried about the current situation of Baicaotang, Jing An could hardly restrain himself from asking questions.But in the end, he just covered up all the abnormalities, talked as usual, and spent more energy behind the scenes to monitor the movements of the poisonous disciples. Carefully inquired about Wen Zhuang's whereabouts.
He had almost become the kind of person he hated the most.But when the relationship between the medicine department and the poison department was becoming increasingly tense, and there were still threats of epidemic diseases and unknown monsters, Jing An didn't dare to take any risks.
Is it the trust in friends, or the responsibility to the sect?When comparing the two with the entire Baicao Hall on his back, Jing An found that the friendship he cherished was so fragile that it was insignificant.
This kind of self-loathing and heavy pressure forced him, and when he realized that Gu Xingyan was about to make a move, Jing An even had a feeling of "ah, it's finally here".
Disregarding the possibility of causing misunderstanding among the disciples, this kind of implicit questioning was adopted.Jing An didn't know what kind of result he wanted, but he probably still held expectations in his heart, and it would be best to resolve everything gently.
Gu Xingyan ruthlessly shattered his idea.
Gu Xingyan just sneered, and asked loudly in a voice that everyone could hear: "Senior Brother Jing, be careful, you say it like I did something wrong. I can't bear the title. Brother Jing still Tell me, what did Gu Xingyan do wrong? So that everyone can hear clearly."
Looking over, Jing An saw ridicule and malice.Gu Xingyan's attitude is clearly forcing him to make a choice, whether to take the name of insulting his junior indiscriminately, or to tell the matter to the public, so that the relationship between the medicine department and the poison department that has just tended to ease will be broken again!
Jing An's face darkened.
And following Gu Xingyan's words, the text on Ye Mu's mission panel, who was watching from the beam, had a new change.
[For the Mountain Nine Ren] Gu Xingyan entrusts you to help him keep his secret.
【Task progress】50/100
[Current Status] Stop Jing An from revealing Gu Xingyan's secret. (30s)
A countdown number is followed by the state, which is beating down by one second.
Timed mission?
Ye Mu weighed the pros and cons for about three seconds, and then jumped off the beam in embarrassment.
The people who were watching the dignified situation in the hall with bated breath only felt that there was an extra person who was out of place in the original confrontation scene.
A person who is obviously not a disciple of Baicaotang, and many disciples have met before.
Jing An paused for a while before he came back to his senses, and asked suspiciously, "Young Xia Ye?"
Not far behind Ye Mu, Gu Xingyan's expression also changed, but he restrained himself and didn't speak.
Ye Mu tried his best to ignore the fiery gazes of the people in all directions, and greeted him with fists together, saying, "Jing Shaoxia."
While procrastinating for time, he secretly glanced at the task bar from the corner of his eye.
The countdown number disappeared, but the task status remained unchanged.
If the time-limited task is not completed within the time limit, it will be directly judged that the entire task has failed.Now, by showing up suddenly, he temporarily stopped what Jing An was going to say, but then...
Ye Mu said seriously: "Jing Shaoxia, I have some important matters, can I take a moment to speak?"
It was as serious as if he had just paid a sudden visit, rather than spying on an important meeting of his sect just now.
Jing An suddenly understood why Ye Mu suddenly appeared here, his expression remained unchanged, and he said politely: "Young Xia Ye, there are some internal affairs to be dealt with in Baicaotang now, please discuss about Young Xia Ye later."
The pronunciation of the word "internal affairs" is deliberately emphasized.
Ye Mu pretended he didn't hear Jing An's refusal, strode towards Jing An, put his hand on Jing An's shoulder with rare enthusiasm, and said, "Jing Shaoxia should listen to it first before making a decision, it is indeed very important." Important things." From an angle that no one could see, he whispered two words in Jing An's ear indiscernibly.
"demon."
I don't know why I always feel that there seems to be a sudden sharp stare in the many eyes on the back, which makes people's back feel cold. Ye Mu let go of his hand as if nothing had happened, and after keeping a certain safe distance from Jing An, he resumed his serious state , asked: "What does Jing Shaoxia think?"
Jing An took a cautious look at Ye Mu, seeing that the other party didn't look like he was joking, and thought that there were people from other sects here, so it would be difficult to continue talking about the secrecy in the sect, so he nodded and turned to Wenzhuang Road : "The evening discussion will continue, Wen Zhuang, I will leave this to you first, I will go back as soon as I go."
Then he looked at Gu Xingyan and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Gu, we will discuss the matter between you and me later."
Gu Xingyan unexpectedly didn't object or criticize anymore, just thinking about something gloomyly.Silently watching Ye Mu and Jing An walk past him.
When passing by, Ye Mu and Gu Xingyan's eyes met, and they nodded to him subtly by turning their heads to talk to Jing An to cover up.
Gu Xingyan didn't say anything else, seeing the two people walked out of the hall, without Wen Zhuang's persuasion, he snorted coldly and sat down at the end of the long table that belonged to him.
Forget it, the plan was ruined by this guy today, so it doesn't matter if you stop for the time being, after all, you can still find opportunities in these two days.However, it seems that this person should be dealt with as soon as possible.That ghoul didn't know where it went, and it didn't show up for a day, otherwise they joined forces, and now there should be a newborn ghoul in this world, so why would it be this guy's turn to mess with him.
Just wait patiently, the ghoul will definitely appear at the appointed time around night.Gu Xingyan gritted his teeth secretly.
Regardless of how weird the atmosphere of the following evening discussion in the conference hall was, Jing An and Ye Mu left the conference hall at a distance to ensure that no one could hear their words, then stood still and said, "What's the matter with Ye Shaoxia? said."
Ye Mu didn't hide anything, and cut straight to the point: "What Jing Shaoxia originally wanted to say in the hall, can we talk about it later?"
Jing An's gaze sank, and he tried his best to control his tone and said, "This is Baicaotang's internal affairs, so don't worry about Ye Shaoxia. If Ye Shaoxia just wants to talk about this, Jing An can only say, excuse me." After finishing speaking, he wanted to leave.
Ye Mu said: "I found a sky-level monster."
Jing An paused, then turned to look at Ye Mu, with suspicion in his eyes, but he finally continued to listen to Ye Mu.
Ye Mu said: "I don't know who sealed this monster, but the seal has been loosened recently, which made me aware of the trace. I'm not sure if this is related to the epidemic, but it's better to exterminate it earlier I am single and weak, so I can only entrust this matter to Baicaotang after thinking about it."
The unfinished meaning in the words is to persuade Jing An that it is not appropriate to turmoil within the sect in the face of powerful enemies.
Of course Jing An understood this truth.If what Ye Mu said is true, the issues of epidemics and demons are always more important than the moral issues of the disciples.In fact, if Gu Xingyan hadn't been the first to act aggressively, he originally planned to let the disciples recuperate for a few days before solving this problem.
For a while, he couldn't tell the truth of Ye Mu's words, Jing An asked, "Where is this monster sealed?"
"The cemetery outside the town."
"Okay." Jing An said, "If Ye Shaoxia's words are true, Baicao Hall will work together to get rid of this disaster."
[For the Mountain Nine Ren] Gu Xingyan entrusts you to help him keep his secret.
【Task progress】60/100
[Current Status] Jing An promises to keep it a secret for the time being.Although the atmosphere is a bit strange, it seems that the evening meeting can proceed smoothly?
No, since the reminder said so, it will definitely not go well.Ye Mu thought silently.
He caught up with Jing An who was walking back, and said, "Jing Shaoxia, let's go together."
The tone is natural, as if you were really invited.
Jing An glanced at Ye Mu wordlessly, and hurried back to see what was going on in the hall, not wanting to get involved with him, and thinking that there would be no important arrangements for the next evening meeting, he just let him go.However, when he entrusted the task before, he had a rare impression of Ye Mu getting better, but he was about to fall back to the bottom again.
What was written in those miscellaneous notes turned out to be correct, and the people in the Palace of Seven Kills really have a heart for gossip.
Anyway, as soon as the two returned to the hall, they were discovered by the absent-minded people.With scrutinizing eyes, Ye Mu looked around the hall, picked up an empty chair, and found a place not far from Jiang Wang's hiding place where he could advance, retreat, and defend, and had a good view. sat down.He also nodded very friendly to the disciples who were watching him nearby.
Compared with Jing An, Ye Mu received less attention.But when Jing An and Gu Xingyan said that the matter should be put on hold for the next evening meeting, Gu Xingyan just laughed loudly and unexpectedly did not raise any objections.The evening discussion went on in such a weird atmosphere that seemed harmonious on the surface.
Halfway through the discussion, Jing An finally rang the bell again.
After looking around the hall for a week, he said calmly: "Junior Brother Gu has developed an effective prescription for the recent epidemic disease. Let Junior Brother Gu explain it to everyone."
Gu Xingyan stood up, but before he could speak, an abrupt voice sounded.
"Ha, explain? He deserves it too!"
After going through so many ups and downs tonight, the disciples seemed to be getting used to it, looking around for the person who spoke.
The moment the voice sounded, Ye Mu turned his head to look in the direction of the speaker, it was a male disciple near the door.Ye Mu did have a little impression of him, this person came in hastily when the evening meeting was about to start, just in time to meet Gu Xingyan's group of people blocking the door.The man was carrying a large medicine box, hurried past them with his head down, and found an empty seat to sit down.Because most disciples will subconsciously find a place to sit far away from the group of people, so this person's unusual reaction made Ye Mu pay attention to him a little bit.
After the man said that, he stood up by himself.Say loudly: "This kind of people who have no virtue and righteousness are not worthy of explaining to others!"
There was some commotion in one place among the disciples. A female disciple stood up and hurriedly walked to the side of the male disciple. She seemed to be recovering from a serious illness.Seeing this, the male disciple didn't care about what to say for a while, he stepped forward and hugged the female disciple's shoulder, as if he wanted to help her sit down, but the female disciple insisted on standing where she was, and the two argued quietly What, the voice of the male disciple suddenly became louder, and he said: "Zhao Yu, you have been deceived! That Gu Xingyan is not a good person at all!"
With one word out, there was complete silence in the arena.The female disciple named Zhaoyu looked towards Gu Xingyan in embarrassment, as if she wanted to say something, but the male disciple forced him down on the chair and sat down.
They are busy arguing between the young couple, but Gu Xingyan is not in the character of being scolded for nothing.He sneered and slapped his palms a few times, and said, "This way of thanking you is really unique. Gu Xingyan has learned the cultivation of a medicine student."
It made the disciples of the medicine department feel embarrassed. Even though the relationship with the disciples of the poison department is not close on weekdays, it is true that the prescription developed by Gu Xingyan saved the lives of many disciples of the medicine department, and even Zhao Yu was one of them. one.As Zhao Yu's husband, Zhong Shui, who spoke, said such words to Gu Xingyan, who can be said to be a benefactor, it was really too much.
Jing An said in a deep voice, "Zhong Shui, you are rude."
Zhong Shui looked at Jing An, and asked loudly, "Senior Brother Jing, why didn't you tell everyone?"
tell what?Ye Mu's first reaction was what Jing An said at the beginning of the evening discussion.
He immediately looked at the mission panel, but the information on it remained unchanged.
With a sudden change in his mind, Ye Mu decided to stand still for the time being.
Unless it is required by the mission, he is still happy to see Gu Xingyan's misfortune, whether it is for public or private purposes.
At the beginning, Jing An also thought that Zhong Shui was referring to his initial words, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was really impossible.Not to mention that his investigations have always been secretive and cautious, but when he got the evidence to confirm that Gu Xingyan did it, Zhao Yu was seriously ill in bed, and Zhong Shui stayed by the bed all day to take care of him. How could he have the energy to pay attention to him? investigation?
So he said: "Jingshui, it's a late meeting now. If you have any personal grievances, we can settle them after the late meeting."
But Zhong Shui seemed to confirm something from this sentence, and said, "Senior brother Jing, are you really going to cover them up and ignore the facts?" He raised his hand and pointed directly at Gu Xingyan.
they?
In connection with Zhong Shui's consistent views and views on the poison system, Jing An realized that Zhong Shui might have misunderstood something.However, on this occasion, he could only stop him and said, "Come to me after the evening meeting, and we'll talk about it later."
As for the cover-up accusation, breaking up with Zhong Shui at this point only made matters worse.Such an unfounded accusation Jing An could afford to recite, so he skipped it.
Gu Xingyan, who was watching coldly, showed a sneer on his face.
And this ridicule was seen by Zhong Shui, and it seemed that it happened to touch some nerve of him.He who was hesitant at first became angry immediately, picked up the big medicine box at his feet, walked to the long table in a hurry, and put it on the table with a bang.Immediately without waiting for the disciples to respond, he opened the medicine box.
In an instant, a stench permeated the air.
They are all experts in medical science and toxicology, except that when they first smelled the smell, they subconsciously held their breath to prevent poisoning, and then they could tell that the smell is not harmful-only in terms of health.So someone at the table got up curiously and looked into the medicine box, and his face immediately changed drastically.
Ye Mu glanced thoughtfully at the task panel, which was still motionless.
He probably knew what was in the box.
The fact is indeed as he thought.
After Gu Xingyan glanced into the medicine box, his complexion changed, he looked at Zhong Shui, and said angrily: "You!"
Zhong Shui stared back and said loudly, "This is what I found in your room. What else do you have to say?"
He lifted the medicine box and dumped all the contents on the long table with a clatter.
The liquid splashed, and the stench spread, but then there were more and more exclamations, and the sound became louder, and even Jing An and Wen Zhuang couldn't help but change their faces.
A strangely colored liquid was scattered, but what was more eye-catching was a small corpse that could barely see its original shape lying in it.If you look closely, those who can see it clearly can't help but break out in a cold sweat.Some young disciples turned their heads in disgust, almost unwilling to take a second look.
The traces on the corpse made everyone who saw it understand what happened to it.
Immediately, more and more questioning eyes fell on Gu Xingyan.
But Gu Xingyan gradually calmed down after the emotional fluctuations at the beginning.
In the end, he sneered and took the initiative to break the deadlock.
"So what? What do you want to say?"
Such an indifferent speech obviously made many people look at it in shock and disbelief, but Zhong Shui was not shaken by it. Perhaps in his mind, Gu Xingyan would not surprise him no matter how despicable he was.He threw the medicine box in his hand aside, made a loud noise, stared at Gu Xingyan and said, "Have you done this kind of experiment many times? Secretly, how many people have you killed?"
He suddenly turned his head, stared straight at Wen Zhuang, and said loudly, "This epidemic was planned by you! Wen Zhuang, Senior Brother Wen!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
After a sudden exclamation, the hall became strangely quiet again.All eyes were on Jing An, Wen Zhuang, Zhong Shui and Gu Xingyan, listening to Zhong Shui's questions one after another.
Although the logic seemed absurd at first glance, but listening to it, some medicine disciples couldn't help but have doubts.That's right, not to mention that none of the disciples of the Poison Department were infected with the disease, but about the experiment, Gu Xingyan almost admitted it with his own mouth, and this alone can tell his virtue!And such a person, would he really be so kind, researching a cure for the disease to save people?Shouldn't it be, it's really a self-directed and self-acted play.
The atmosphere in the hall was getting weirder and weirder, but Gu Xingyan just stood there with his hands folded in his sleeves and sneered nonchalantly. For some reason, Wen Zhuang just sat on his seat with his face downcast, wondering what he was thinking Jing Tong wanted to jump up several times to refute, but couldn't bear to look away when his eyes touched the corpse on the table, and finally looked at his brother for help.
As for Jing An, at this moment he finally made a move.
Instead of ringing the bell, he stood up and said beyond doubt: "End water, shut up."
The voice was not particularly loud, and even the tone was not very intense, but despite Jing An's stop a few times before, but with a wave of emotion to make the matter come to the present, even Wen Zhuang dared to criticize Zhong Shui, just after this sound , suddenly stopped talking.
Momentum is a very magical thing, maybe it's voice, eyes, demeanor, or something else, in short, Jing An at this moment makes people subconsciously dare not resist.
The hall was quiet.Jing An glanced at Gu Xingyan, but finally his eyes fell on Wen Zhuang.
"Wen Zhuang." He said.He has called Wen Zhuang like this countless times, helplessly gentle, serious and close, but only this time, he called Wen Zhuang in a serious manner without any personal feelings.
Wen Zhuang raised his eyes to look at Jing An, his face was expressionless as if frozen.
Jing An acted as if he hadn't noticed Wen Zhuang's anomaly, and asked, "Aren't you going to refute what Zhong Shui said?"
Wen Zhuang was silent for a moment, this moment seemed very long to the people in the hall, then he opened his mouth, his voice was low and hoarse, almost not like his voice: "Such ridiculous words, why should I refute?" ?”
After saying this, he shut his mouth tightly again, as silent as a stone statue.
Zhong Shui almost couldn't hold back his sarcasm, but he still kept his mouth shut because of the current atmosphere.
Jing An turned his gaze to Gu Xingyan again, and said, "Gu Xingyan, are you experimenting with human bodies?"
Gu Xingyan seemed to feel a little ridiculous about the current situation, but it was rare for him to answer honestly: "Yes."
Jing An asked, "A living person, or a dead body?"
Gu Xingyan paused for a while, pretending to be reminiscing, and then said lightly: "There are all of them." He added maliciously, "And, a lot."
There was silence in the hall, and the shocking questions and answers continued.
Jing An said, "Why?"
This question seemed to hit the point. Gu Xingyan straightened his back and said, "Of course it's for research."
Without waiting for Jing An to continue asking, he sneered first and said, "Let me tell you what you want to ask. You avoid human experiments, but you don't know how useful it is. That's right, I did it with corpses. experiment, but if you don’t do it, do you really think that you can develop a perfect prescription to solve the disease in a short period of time just by relying on the unchanging knowledge in the book and the mild formula?” He moved his chin After clicking on the corpse on the table, the sunken eyes were amazingly bright.He said: "Think that is disgusting and tragic? It was born without it, and today, people here," he dragged his voice, looking around the hall, many people frantically avoided when they met his gaze He paused when he saw Ye Mu, his originally good mood was badly affected, but then he recovered, looked at Jing An again, opened his arms, and said, "There will be dozens less people here, and more people will come here." Dozens of corpses. What else? Crying, hatred, death. Brother Jing, you always feel that I have ulterior motives, but if it weren't for me, you think you can sit safely in the seat of the chief disciple now, with the head of the chief disciple Posture, pointing fingers at my way of doing things here? And you!" He turned around to face the people in the hall, looked straight at Zhao Yu sitting by the door with vicious eyes, and laughed loudly, "I don't agree ?This is how your life was bought! If you don’t agree, you can die yourself! Do you think it’s immoral? How many dying patients can be saved by this prescription? If it’s immoral, don’t use it and watch those people Go to hell! This is your self-cultivation, your so-called morality?"
Perhaps many people were shaken and fell into thinking because of this, but Ye Mu was not included.He looked at the mission panel.
[For the Mountain Nine Rens] Gu Xingyan's secret.
【Task progress】70/100
[Current Status] Gu Xingyan admitted the human experiment, and the prescription to save the epidemic was obtained from the human experiment.
Mission changed?
Judging from the current task title, it seems that as long as one knows all of Gu Xingyan's secrets, the task can be completed.
At this time, Gu Xingyan began to ask Jing An aggressively: "Brother Jing, do you think what I did was right? Or was it wrong? Should I do the experiment, or should I watch my classmates die?"
Jing An replied unwaveringly: "Junior Brother Gu, human experiments are wrong."
"The same standard answer as written in the book." Gu Xingyan said in a tone that was not a compliment, waved his hand, turned to Wen Zhuang again, and his tone suddenly became polite, "Brother Wen, do you think what I did was right?" , or wrong? If it were you, what would you do?"
Although Gu Xingyan kept staring at him eagerly for answers, Wen Zhuang just kept silent.
In the end, Gu Xingyan seemed to be discouraged, and turned his head in a bad mood, but happened to see Ye Mu.
With a malicious smile on his face, he suddenly said: "Speaking of which, my research can go so smoothly thanks to the help of one person, and you all have to thank him very much."
Ye Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a bad premonition.
Could it be that Gu Xingyan was planning to beat him up because he saw that the matter had been brought to light?After all, his behavior in Baicao Hall cannot be said to be flawless, and the timing of his appearance in the hall just now was also very coincidental, so he dragged Jing An out to talk for a while.If Gu Xingyan really gets involved with him, maybe he can also throw a basin of dirty water on Jing An by the way.
Even though he was thinking this way, Ye Mu still sat motionless like a mountain, just seeing tricks left and right.
In the dark not far away, a pale hand caressed the long knife in hand.Hold the handle with your fingers and slowly tighten it.
I really want to kill. When chattering so proudly, I suddenly choke everything I want to say in my throat, making people's life come to an abrupt end full of unwillingness. It must be a very wonderful feeling.
The dim eyes fell on Gu Xingyan's neck.From this point of view, it only takes one knife to end this person's life.
It can be hard to hold back your anticipation and longing when a long-awaited opportunity is right in front of you.
The tightened fingers slowly loosened, and the hand moved away from the handle.
It's agreed, just wait a little longer.
Just a second.
Gu Xingyan was about to speak, but suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and a cold and terrifying premonition of death enveloped him instantly.All the hairs on his body exploded in an instant, relying on the skills honed in his life and death, he rolled to the side in a state of embarrassment, and raised his head in shock, but only saw the suspicious eyes in the hall.
The illusion of death that almost suffocated him just now has faded like a tide.
No, that's not an illusion!The feeling he experienced in the southeast wilderness can't be wrong.
He was sure that someone wanted to kill him.
That person—right in the hall!
Looking at faces falteringly, Gu Xingyan's heart skipped a beat when he thought of what he said just now.
If you want to kill him because of those words... is it that ghoul?
In an instant, Gu Xingyan dismissed the idea of causing trouble for Ye Mu and Jing An.
His time is running out.
