Snake Tale

Following this sharp questioning, Shen Yuzhu's eyes suddenly became dark, as if covered by a thick fog, and it was finally formed, followed by a strong dizziness.He looked at the incense burner with purple smoke in astonishment, and belatedly asked, "...Madam?"

Madam smiled softly and said, "Good boy, don't you think that you are really a baby that Xuan Weizi picked up by chance from the sinking water? Or do you actually think that it was just a coincidence that Xuan Weizi was going to entrust Jiuding to you? In fact, apart from valuing your aptitude, the more fundamental reason is that he took advantage of the curse hidden in the blood of the Bao clan, the curse of 'cannibalism' that has lasted since ancient times when the Qibao brothers killed each other... even When I was pregnant with Liujia, there was a divination prophecy that one of my children would devour his brother, kill his mother, and even slaughter the entire clan..."

I don't know whether Madam Zishuo's tone is getting softer or her sense of hearing is gradually fading, Shen Yuzhu can hardly hear what she is saying behind the curtain.He slowly raised his hand in front of his eyes.But I saw thin blood spots densely oozing from the tips of my five fingers, which gradually turned into a strange blue-black color, as if countless steel-toothed ants were swarming up, quickly nibbling away at my flesh.

He exhaled slowly, trying to maintain his sobriety for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "You suspect...the person in the prophecy is me?"

Madam said: "I can't afford to bet, can I? Besides, I already know that you are not worth my bet."

Shen Yuzhu said in his heart: "That's right. I can neither give her the supreme Nine Tripods, nor be willing to work for the great cause she dreams of. To her, I am just a useless and obstructive abandoned child." It was just that I was kind to the last moment. Jue Jue, Mrs. Zi Shuo, who will be poisonous in the next moment, the confusion in his heart is hard to dissipate for a while, and the five senses are gradually lost under the poison, and he feels like he is in a misty situation, and he is in a precarious situation. Unexpectedly, he didn't care much, and subconsciously asked: "So... are all the past events you just said are false?"

Mrs. Zishuo said: "That's not entirely true. It's just that I have to conceal some facts, such as the truth about the death of my master..."

Shen Yuzhu suddenly felt a warmth in his throat, subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, blood overflowed from his fingers.

Mrs. Zishuo said with great interest: "It seems that what Qin Wei said is right. In this world, there is indeed such a strange disease that loses the sense of pain."

Shen Yuzhu thought vaguely: "It turns out that she is the force behind Qin Wei." However, his head was heavy, his hands and feet became more and more stiff, and he could no longer think further.He tried his best to breathe, only to feel that the black mist in front of his eyes was getting thicker, his mind was muddled, and he unconsciously said in a low voice: "Madam...can you—let me see your eyes?"

Mrs. Zishuo didn't expect him to beg like this for a moment, but she was stunned.When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't you want to remember my face so that you can ask for my life when you arrive in the Underworld?"

She removed her veil so that the dying young man in front of her could see her face more clearly.Sure enough, his face was instantly filled with unexpected astonishment.But before he could make an inquiry, the final effect of the medicine finally took effect.He suddenly closed his eyes and fell straight to the ground.

Mrs. Zishuo put on her veil slowly, staring down at the unfinished brocade garment in her hand, lost in thought.There was a soft sound of footsteps outside the door, and the drunken fish walked in with a sigh of relief, and silently knelt down behind his wife on one knee.

Madam said: "Take him down, before that unworthy son..."

Before the words were finished, there was an unexpected tremor under the feet, and the lampstands on the table jumped down and fell to the ground, and the fire was extinguished into a wisp of green smoke.

Madam sighed softly, and continued helplessly: "...Catch up to the door."

The hurried footsteps and discussions of the girls came from outside the door, and the painted spider lifted the three-foot Qingfeng upside down, and pushed the door open:

"Ma'am!" She hurriedly said: "A group of light boat bandits came on the way, and another group of fishing boats were chasing after them, both of them were pressing close to Wang Zhou..."

Madam chuckled calmly: "Water bandits? Robbery on such a gentle and wide river? Gongsun Zhuoxin's trick of turning a deer into a horse, can you pretend that I can't see it?"

Hua Zhu was stunned, and said: "Ma'am, you mean... Is this Zheng Guoren deliberately causing chaos, and want to take the opportunity to get close to Wang Zhou?"

Mrs. Zishuo adjusted her hands lazily, folded her brocade clothes aside, and arranged for the maids to deal with the "water bandits", while instructing her confidants to escort "Shen Yuzhu" to the water prison in Wang Zhou's bilge.

The two took orders and left.This king's boat has a grand construction and a complicated layout. There is a very secret water prison built at the bottom.Before he could get closer, he smelled a damp, cold and rancid air blowing towards his face.Zui Yu suddenly said: "Isn't this kid dead?"

Hua Zhu said: "Soon."

Zui Yu said: "Then why bother? If you throw it into the sea, wouldn't it be clean?"

Hua Zhu said: "Madam confessed..."

Drunken Fish suddenly stopped walking. "Madam, Madam!" She laughed, "I'm tired of hearing these two words. If you want to go to that dirty place by yourself, I won't accompany you!" After saying that, she twisted her body and walked onto the boat up.

"You!" Painted Spider stared at Zui Yu's back, gritted her teeth in hatred.I had no choice but to bear the heavy "corpse" and move forward.Before reaching the iron bars, he yelled at the jailer leaning on the side: "Don't unlock it yet?" He leaned on him and pushed the jailer.

The light at the bottom of the cabin was dim, and the painted spider didn't see the jailer's pale complexion, his eyes slightly open until he got close, and he was already a dead body!She was startled in her heart, and it was too late to react, but she felt a cold flash in her ears, the sword light jumped on her neck, and someone behind her said coldly: "Put him down."

The painting spider's mind turned, and he replied: "Okay, here you are!" Putting Shen Yuzhu's body on the side of his shoulder and falling to the ground, at the same time, he stretched out his hand into his bosom, unsheathed his sword and quickly stabbed at people who came and went.

The person who came caught Shen Yuzhu with one hand, turned around to avoid it, a cold light flashed in his right hand, and the sharp steel blade in his hand

With a sound of "Dang", it blocked the sword body of the painting spider.He embraced Shen Yuzhu with one hand, only felt that the body seemed lifeless, his heart was restless, impatient to deal with her, he unleashed all his false moves with a sharp blade that slashed the wind and exposed, the blue light soared, he vomited and let go, and it was too late Three strokes, the tip of the sword directly collided with Huazhu's sword edge, breaking the precious sword inch by inch.

Painted Spider only felt a strong force rushing along the blade, and staggered back a few steps before barely standing upright. Just as he was about to raise his blade to meet him, the long sword fell to the ground with a "bang".It was only then that I realized that my arms were sore and limp, shaking like chaff, and I had lost all strength.

She leaned against the fence, terrified.However, the other party was not in a hurry to end her life, and just looked down at Shen Yuzhu in his arms, but saw that his face was like gold paper, his eyes were tightly closed, blood was all over his mouth and nose, and his breath was barely noticeable.Frost grew between his eyebrows, he turned to the painting spider, and asked sullenly, "What did you do?"

Painted Spider sneered, "So what—"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her right shoulder, and it was the other party who pierced her lute bone with a sharp sword!The painted spider couldn't help crying out, almost fainted from the pain, beads of sweat rolled down one by one.The other party turned his wrist, slowly filed the blade on her flesh and blood, and said coldly: "My patience is limited. Tell me——what poison is in him?"

The painted spider intermittently said: "It's the 'Weak Water' prepared by Madam, Madam..."

As she narrated, she managed to open her eyes to see.But under the dim light, the other party's face was bloodless white, and his blue eyes were burning like phosphorus, as terrifying as a sinister ghost.She suddenly realized, and said, "You are—"

The visitor was naturally Luo Yi.The more he listened, the more gloomy his face became.With great difficulty, he suppressed his rage and withdrew his hand to draw back the blade.The painted spider gasped for a while, reluctantly tapped acupuncture points on her shoulder to stop the bleeding.As soon as he looked up and saw Luo Yi carrying Shen Yuzhu, he walked up to the cabin, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait——you left me here like this?"

Seeing his deaf and deaf back, Hua Zhu couldn't help but annoyed: "That guy is hopeless! You put me up quickly, let me plead for you in front of my wife, and..."

Luo Yi kicked open the hatch.The sky suddenly poured out, and on the open deck, there stood a girl in red shirt who was as gorgeous as the morning glow, and behind her was a group of iron-clothed guards, whose scales and armor reflected the sun, waiting in full force.
