Listen to the king's order

Golden Lotus Sect General Altar

cold room

Jiang Qichen's current situation is not too bad.

Knowing that Jiang Qichen's legs and feet were inconvenient, Xuanfeng sent someone to bring him a padded recliner and told him to lie down comfortably.The cold room was surrounded by thousands of years of ice, so he was afraid that he would catch the cold, so he took a white fur fox fur for him to wear.

Jiang Qichen looked at Xuanfeng leisurely, Gogou corner of his mouth said softly: "Thank you."

Xuanfeng waved his hand, telling Ziwei to go out.

He was dressed in aqua blue gown just like the first time I saw him, the embroidered peacock was lifelike, his handsome face could not be concealed by the silver silk, his frown and frown were just right, as warm as a spring breeze, as indifferent as clear water.

Xuanfeng sat down beside Jiang Qichen, and there was a set of transparent tea sets on the table made of ice. It looked like it was also made of ice, but the ice jug was full of hot tea, poured into cups and simmered The hot air rises upwards, like clouds after touches.

"The fox fur on your body belongs to Lu Ming."

Xuanfeng put down the ice jug, shared a cup of the two cups of hot tea in front of him, and pushed it in front of Jiang Qichen.

Jiang Qichen's eyes moved slightly, he held up the fur collar of the fox fur with one hand, and rubbed it against his face, the soft and thick touch made him soften his expression.Eyes half closed, the cold fragrance that seemed to be absent on the fox fur filled his nostrils.

Xuanfeng picked up the ice cup in front of him, bowed his head and took a sip, and said softly: "He should be on his way now."

Jiang Qichen tightened the fox fur on his body, showing a calm smile: "You have acted like a good person in front of Ming'er for five years, but now you are so impatient that your previous efforts will be for naught."

"I never said I was a good person, and Lu Ming didn't trust me wholeheartedly." Xuanfeng shook his head, and looked at Jiang Qichen calmly: "You are Lu Ming's Achilles' heel, I know that once he meets you , all the deep hatred and old hatred can be left behind, and I didn't expect him to bring back the life talisman."

Jiang Qichen laughed lightly: "It's a trick that the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind."

"No," Xuanfeng hooked the corners of his mouth, and his complacent expression was on that seemingly gentle face: "This is called inviting you into the urn."

Xuanfeng stood up and shook his large sleeved gown. There was no wind in the room, but it made his green shirt sway lightly, and the peacock pattern embroidery on his back was vivid.

He pushed Jiang Qichen's reclining chair, brought him to the lotus seat, pointed to the ice bed above the seat, and said in a deep voice, "Lu Ming was lying here for a year."

Jiang Qichen looked in the direction of Xuanfeng's finger, and finally there was an inch of crack in his indifferent expression.On the transparent ice bed, the bone-chilling chill came from the narrowness, as if it wanted to freeze all the jumping parts of his body, which made Jiang Qichen couldn't help but shudder.

He imagined what Lu Ming would look like lying here—the cold was invading all of Lu Ming's blood day after day, but he couldn't even do such a simple action as hugging himself.He opened his eyes until dawn without love in his life, and endured one after another as the sun rose and the moon set, but what accompanied him was only boundless despair.

Xuanfeng looked at Jiang Qichen's sad expression for a moment, and mercilessly tore open the scar that Lu Ming didn't want to talk about: "When I just brought him back, he didn't have the will to survive at all. If it wasn't for his whole body being broken I can't move a single finger, I'm afraid I've killed myself a long time ago. He hasn't said a word in the year he's been lying here. The feeling of this bed of ice is not pleasant. Ice sculpts the body, using thousand years of ice Replenish the broken tendons bit by bit, the ice worms gnaw at the bones, and the cold air pierces the heart."

"Stop talking." Jiang Qichen stroked his chest with trembling hands, he thought, maybe he could understand what Lu Ming said, "If you want to live, you can't live, if you want to die, you can't die".

"He doesn't bark or make trouble, he refuses to eat or drink, so what should we do? Later, I knocked him out and forcefully poured him in." Xuanfeng said while gesturing with his hands: "At that time, he , the thin person has lost his face, and his arms are only about this thin."

Jiang Qichen felt pain in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "I tell you to shut up!"

Xuanfeng smiled lowly: "Then one day, I said to him: Lu Ming, don't you hate it? It was the first time that his blank eyes finally had focus. That is, from that day on, he began to eat obediently. Although he doesn't talk to others, he has the heart to survive. You see, after so many painful and difficult days, what supported him to survive was his hatred for you."

Xuanfeng pushed Jiang Qichen back to the ice table again: "But even so, when I saw you again, love and hate, he still chose the former without hesitation. To be honest, I am very disappointed in him."

Jiang Qichen took a deep breath, suppressing the constant pain in his heart, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, and he said with a wry smile: "You are really good at instigating people's hearts."

"People's hearts are too difficult to figure out. I'm just stating the facts." Xuanfeng looked indifferent, and fished out a jar of wine from under the ice table: "It seems that you don't like tea, how about drinking?"

Xuanfeng closed his mouth, and the strong aroma of wine instantly filled the cold room: "This is the Tusu that Lu Ming brought back from Voga Town a few days ago. I have never been willing to drink it." He took a transparent wine bottle and poured it He poured a cup and handed it to Jiang Qichen: "Speaking of which, you should call me uncle."

Jiang Qichen picked up the wine bottle and drank it down in one gulp. Tusu was spicy, and his stomach boiled with fire as soon as he swallowed it, which finally overwhelmed the endless bursts of heartache.

"Uncle?" Jiang Qichen said with a sneer, "If I remember correctly, you have been expelled from the sect long ago."

"Actually, I'm quite similar to Lu Ming." Xuanfeng asked inconsequentially: "Back then, my treatment of Master was even worse than Lu Ming's treatment of you. I became obsessed with practicing kung fu, and evil spirits entered my body. Lu Ming was bitten by evil spirits. , It is also evil energy entering the body. I was abolished by my master, my tendons were broken, and I was expelled to the Northern Territory. The same is true for Lu Ming. Therefore, I helped him reshape his tendons and taught him Yin Sha and evil skills. I want to see if When you see Lu Ming like this, can you still lick your face and say you love him? Well... you are beyond my expectation."

"Master's kindness and mercy left you alive, and he didn't want to see you making trouble like this." Jiang Qichen said in a deep voice, "You are nothing like Ming'er. Even though Ming'er is in the dark, his heart is for the light. And you, from Li Outside, it's pitch black."

"Yeah." Xuanfeng nodded noncommittally: "He is luckier than me, and you can help him. But I... Master left without giving me an answer, so I have to ask a question anyway."

Jiang Qichen said in a deep voice, "You know, there is no such thing as resurrection in this world."

"If you don't try it, how will you know if it's there?" Xuanfeng smiled: "Tell me, where is the Jiang family's request for life?"

Jiang Qichen's face remained the same, the life talisman was in Lu Ming's place, as long as he didn't say it, and Lu Ming didn't say it, then Xuanfeng would not be able to find it.It will take several hours for him to recover his skills. Before that, he must find a way to delay the time.

"Why don't you tell me first, where is my master?"

Xuanfeng raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Oh?"

Jiang Qichen picked up the wine bottle and pecked lightly: "Master has never come back. Since he was taken away by Sha Sang on the Hero Terrace five years ago, you have pretended to be the master afterward."

A look of joy suddenly appeared on Xuanfeng's face, and he praised: "Xuanyu always said that you are smart, but now it seems that you are so. It has been five years, even Xuanyu's big disciple Hua Wudao has never doubted me. You seldom return to the Sky Eye Sect, how do you know that?"

"Actually, I should have suspected it a long time ago, but at that time, Ming'er's evil energy entered my body, and I was eager to find a solution, so I was negligent for a while. Later, Ming'er was taken away by you, and I was so focused on finding his whereabouts that I didn't think about it. "Jiang Qichen said: "But seeing you now, I suddenly understood. Back then, Master told me the past personally, and told me that if Brother Wudao had doubts in the future, I would tell him. But later, I went to Master's room and saw Senior Brother Wudao drinking with you, you didn't know that I had an appointment with Master and told Senior Brother everything, this is one of them."

"Master loves Fujia tea very much, but that day, the tea in front of your table was not touched. This is the second. Third, Ming'er's life experience and the immeasurable seal on him are only me, master Duan Qingshen, and sword fairy Lu Ke. He and Wei Xia Dao Fengyin knew about it. But at the Pei Family Ancestral Altar, Sha Sang said it out. I thought about it, I am afraid that you used Brother Wudao to confirm Ming'er's identity, and then went to the Pei Family Ancestral Altar to give a fatal One strike. At that time, I clearly told Ming'er not to go down the mountain, but someone still faked my handwriting to trick him away, and I am afraid that there is no other person who can do these movements in Tianyanzong except Daoist Xuanyu."

"That's right." Xuanfeng said calmly: "I have known Xuanyu for many years, and I have a similar body shape. It is not difficult to pretend to be him. But it took me a lot of thought to confirm Lu Ming's identity. Speaking of it, The immeasurable seal on his body was still entered by me."

"Why don't you tell me from the beginning, why the Huo family's pleading talisman is on Ming'er."

Xuanfeng smiled and said, "Are you really sure that I will tell you?"

Jiang Qichen only glanced at him indifferently, and said indifferently: "You have choreographed a good show for more than ten years, if you don't show it off to others, how can you satisfy your desire to control?"

"Hmm... that's right." Xuan Feng suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth, with a relaxed expression, and after a while, he muttered like reminiscing: "At that time... Lu Ming was not born yet."

"No," Xuanfeng smiled lowly, and looked at Jiang Qichen: "It should be that Huo Baizhou hadn't been born yet. At that time, I had just started to re-practice yin and evil skills, and the monthly backlash made me miserable. The Huo family was born I have a special physique and bear the blood of a unicorn, which can just help me relieve the pain of backlash. So, I pretended to be Xuanyu and went to find Huo Liuzhi."

"I told him that I was hurt by a villain and I needed him to open up my tendons. Huo Liuzhi had no doubts about him, so I took this opportunity to relieve the backlash in my body. Complementing each other with the Qilin blood of the Huo family, it can not only alleviate backlash, but also straighten the blood that is blocked by evil skills. So, I pretended to teach Huo Liuzhi to practice yin and evil skills. Guess what? This skill It is an evil skill to practice it on other people, but on Huo Liu's body, it is not upright."

These old things that have never been known to others, accompanied by Xuanfeng's gentle voice, blow away the thick dust covering them like a breeze.

Jiang Qichen was stunned.

"His skills are neither evil skills nor Mahayana, but they are closer to Mahayana. His mind is integrated into his blood, which is why Huo Baizhou was born with immeasurable seals. This is why although he was bitten by evil spirits, There is also a chance of survival. I was thinking of waiting for Huo Liuzhi to succeed and using his skills to completely eliminate the backlash for me, but Pei Tianxiao made a mistake and told him to kill Huo Liuzhi's family. Helpless, I had to send I hope for his son. I wanted to take him away, but you got in the way again. It happened that when I broke through the fifth level of evil skills, it was extremely dangerous. I had no choice but to seal the Huo family's pleading talisman in the on him so that it will be easy to find him in the future."

"You protected him very well. It wasn't until five years ago that Shasang discovered him. Yin Sha evil power and immeasurable law seal resonate. Shasang almost noticed Lu Ming at the first sight. He repeated several times. I wanted to take Lu Ming away, but I was stopped by you. But I was not in a hurry at the time. Although I doubted it, I still wanted to confirm whether he was Huo Baizhou. It just so happened that Lu Ming was injured in Jiangyou Town, so I called Hua Wu Dao took him to the Sydney Spring on Fujia Mountain to heal his wounds. The Sydney Spring is indeed a holy spring, which can not only heal sword wounds, but also make all seals invisible. As a result..."

Jiang Qichen continued: "As a result, Brother Wudao saw the pleading talisman on Ming'er's body. You confirmed Ming'er's identity, so you tricked him down the mountain, asked Sha Sang to expose his background in public, made him suspicious of me, forced me He had an evil attack on the spot, so he won't be able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains martial arts, and you can take him away logically."

"That's right, the plan was indeed like this at the beginning. However, I still underestimated his feelings for you. He didn't completely lose his mind and start killing. But you, in order to save him, cruelly abolished his martial arts and cut him off." the tendons."

Xuanfeng smiled lightly and shook his head, he didn't know whether he disagreed or was helpless: "It's just that what you have done is a surprise. Lu Ming was disheartened by you and left me voluntarily. Just for him It took me a lot of effort to reshape my tendons. Not only that, he can no longer cultivate internal skills, and even if he practices Yin Sha evil skills, he can't get rid of the backlash for me. However, the Huo family is indeed a good seed for practicing Yin Sha evil skills. It took Lu Ming only three years to master the skills that took decades."

Jiang Qichen: "So, you have come up with the idea of ​​asking for life again."

"I shouldn't have said that," Xuanfeng said, "The pleading talisman was always in my plan, but at the beginning I wanted to use Mahayana exercises to revive Master, but now there is just one more function."

The author has something to say:

Surprised or not, surprised or not—the real Xuanyu has been pretending to be Xuanfeng since a long time ago. In fact, there is a foreshadowing in the previous article, and everyone probably didn’t pay attention...
