When Xuan Su woke up, there was no pain in the whole body.

This pain is not like a broken arm and a broken leg. It's just like a dense needle point piercing the eight channels of the odd meridian, and the joints all over the body are aching, and there is a cold and biting internal force attached to it. As soon as Xuan Su got up, his face paled, and he knelt down.

"Don't move." Someone behind him suddenly said.

Xuan Su heard this sound a bit familiar. He held on to the wall with one hand and barely sat upright, only to realize that he was in a cave. The place was spacious but very dim. If it weren't for Xuan Su, a martial artist, he was savvy and awkward. I can't even see that the black shadow behind it is a person.

The humanity said: "Although your wound has been treated, but you have lost too much blood and lost your power, you still have to rest for two days."

Xuan Su was startled. The left shoulder that was slashed by Zhao Bingmo's scimitar was still in pain, but the wound had been bandaged, and even the slightest blood was not visible on the white cloth, only a vaguely bitter smell of medicine.

Set up calmly, Xuan Su bowed his hand in a salute: "Thank you senior..."

The man smiled and said: "It is not Lao Na who saved you, the Young Palace Master does not need to say thanks."

As he said this, the cave lit up a little, and the old monk sitting on a boulder blew the fire and threw it on the pile of dead branches nearby.

With the fire, Xuan Su finally saw the person's face, and was shocked: "Lose and color see the abbot?"

Seeing that the abbot of Wuxiang Temple, who was buried in the sea of ​​flames, appeared here gracefully, Xuan Su almost thought that he had seen a ghost. After seeing the shadow cast by the other party on the wall of the cave, he could not help but give birth to one. To ecstasy-see nothing, then Duanheng might be safe.

Without waiting to ask questions, Sejian’s abbot had already raised his fingers to signal softly, Xuansu held his breath and concentrated his internal strength in both ears, hearing the movement of several people breathing from the depths of the cave.

He supported the wall to stand up, and the abbot walked inward with the abbot of Coloring Jian. After several turns, he saw more than twenty people lying in the deepest part of the cave, all eyes closed and collapsed to the ground. , Most of his body was stained with blood, if it weren't for the ups and downs of his chest, Xuan Su would almost think it was a corpse everywhere.

A closer look, Xuan Su is even more frightened.

Although he was mad and stupid at a young age, his memory has been excellent since he was cured when he was ten years old, and he has almost never forgotten. So after a glance, he quickly recognized that these were the sacrifices of people who had been locked up in Du'e Cave before, but he didn't know why they were here.

Half of the forty people in the cave appeared here. Where did the rest go? What is the situation of West Buddha trapped in the cave at this moment?

The more he thought about it, the more worried he was. When he was irritated, he was gently held by a thin hand, and his anger seemed to be quenched by cold water. Ren Se saw the abbot lead him out and returned to where he was before.

Xuan Su’s head was in chaos. He was thinking about those who don’t know the life and death, and for a while, Duanqing and Sekong. With the physical discomfort, he also seduce his anxiety about the situation of Wuxiang Temple before coma. , It became a thousand words, but I don't know where to start.

At this moment, he thought of the late master for no reason, Duan Ya Dao Chang Ji Qingyan was gentle and gentle, and his temperament was even more optimistic and calm. Xuan Su had never seen a panic on his master’s face. Once thought that he was the omnipotent heaven.

He didn't realize that the sky would collapse until Duan Yadao's old illness relapsed and was in bed.

"Being a mortal, you may be able to do not joy with things or sadness with yourself, but standing in the world, you are like a mayfly on the sea. When there is helplessness, there are things of incompetence, so happy, angry, sad Worry and panic is human nature, and it is inevitable.” At that time, the withered Duan Ya Daochang stroked his hair and smiled softly, “Yun Shu, I didn’t never fear, I just thought about it. The responsibility is not to be chaotic even if you are frightened. Because it is not the opponent who is the most difficult to defeat, but yourself."

"There was a great disaster in the temple, and the abbot was safe. It is really great fortune." Xuan Su closed his eyes and suppressed all the panic and fragility that had just emerged in his heart, and first saluted the abbot Sejian. Then he asked: "Those people inside were saved by the abbot?"

"Lao Na is hard to protect himself. He is also powerless to save people. It was another benefactor who sent them here." After a pause, the abbot replied, "The same as the one who brought you here. People."

Xuan Su recalled what happened before he fell into a coma. He thought that after he was defeated, he should be sacrificed by Zhao Bingmo's blood to his son, but he did not expect that he would still be able to live in the world.

He fought against Zhao Bingmo, knowing that no one in the temple would be able to take his life from her, and then look at the abbot Sejian, thinking about the burning Tibetan scriptures that Chu Xiwei analyzed with him before. About this matter, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

"...Senior Zhao?"

"Also." Seeing the abbot nodded, "The night attack on the Buddha Pagoda and the burning of the Buddhist scriptures building were all because she exposed herself to the burial palace and aroused the outrage of the martial arts people in the temple. The knife-edge externally alleviated the previous internal fighting situation; afterwards, she took advantage of Zhao Qing's death to attack her, forcing the funeral palace to do it in advance, and set up a killing game in Du'edong to lead him into the urn..."

The abbot Sejian said what he knew, Xuan Su couldn’t help holding his breath. He listened to the undercurrents and combined his previous experience with Chu Xiwei’s and Ye Fusheng’s speculations. Out of the deliberate trap layout of Soul Burial Palace, I even vaguely felt that this was just the tip of the iceberg.

What made him even more suspicious was the division of the Soul Burial Palace and Zhao Bingmo's means of the city.

"Senior Zhao...is to oppose Helian Yu, or betray the Soul Burial Palace?"

Sejian the abbot glanced at him approvingly, but did not reply back and asked: "Why did you say this?"

"If it is the former, it should be a conflict of interest; if it is the latter, it is fear of revenge." Xuan Su said solemnly, "The soul burial palace is in the midst of the sun, and Helian's imperial power is in control. Senior Zhao is at this juncture. If she wants to oppose him, no matter how much she deploys, her chances of winning are not enough. She can make her go to this point arbitrarily, even sacrificing her only son as bait. In addition to these two reasons, juniors are unpredictable for a while."

The abbot Sejian looked at him quietly, his eyes that had always been gentle and compassionate were like thunder and lightning at this moment, but they softened quickly.

"There are both reasons. But you are wrong. Zhao Bingmo loves his son like his life and will not sacrifice his own children. That Zhao Qing is just her chess." Sejian abbot said softly , "Her biological son... is already dead."

Xuan Su's pupils shrank.

"Zhao Bingmo is from her mother's surname. Her real name should be He Lianyue, and she is the sister of the former Soul Burial Palace Lord He Lian Shen. Because He Lianyu and He Lian Shen became brothers, so he and Zhao There are elder brothers and sisters between the ice moths.” See the abbot sitting cross-legged, “Zhao Bingmo lived with his mother outside the Guan since childhood, and the relationship with his father and brother was cold. Only when the soul burial palace was established more than 30 years ago, she Seeing that he led the dead soldiers left by his mother in the face of blood relationship to help Helian Shen, these people were later the'Magic Scorpions' of the'Five Poison Guards', and they belonged to the Palace Lord of the Soul Burial in name, but actually only listened to her alone. , All of them are masters of different races, not to be ignored."

After days of tempering, Xuan Su’s keen mind is no longer comparable to that of the past, but even if he notices something wrong: "Arbitrary and domineering, holding great power, even if it is helpful, Helian Shen must be more jealous of her than trusting. "

Let see the abbot smiled slightly: "At that time, the person Helianshen trusted the most was his brother Helianyu, and they established the soul burial palace together. If Helianyu had not been pushed back by his youth, maybe he would be buried at that time. There should be a double seat for the position of the palace lord. For that matter, he is also above the 10,000 people in the soul-burial palace."

Xuan Su squinted his eyes: "Because he has a better way to control Helianyu than Zhao Bingmo?"

Helian Shen doesn't even worry about his own sisters, how can he trust another person so much? Lifelong friendship is no better than the erosion of power. Helian Shen's daring to let go of such great power can only show that he has the confidence to control this person in power.

"The predecessor of the Burial Soul Palace was the Helian family, a large family outside the Guan. They were originally rooted outside the southwest. In the previous dynasties, they even had in-laws with the royal family. The scenery was once the same among the foreign races in the southwest, and the forces invaded the Central Plains. He was even active in the royal capital for a time.” Abbot Sekong’s thin hand drew a stick on the ground, “However, sixty-eight years ago, the emperor led an uprising to overthrow the tyranny of the former dynasty. The former royal family was in the fire that burned down the palace. After being burned, the Helian family also quit the Central Plains and returned to the customs, but they took one thing with them."

Xuan Su intuitively felt that this was not a fun thing. He quickly recalled what he knew about the past and searched his stomach to find a thing: "Poppy?"

Opium poppy, earlier known as "A Hibiscus", was brought into the Central Plains by foreign merchants who had sailed to the Central Plains during the previous dynasty. It is said to be used for healing and curing diseases and prolonging life. It was first spread among the people. Come. In the previous dynasties, princes and nobles used to be extravagant. Scholars and literati heard that this thing could also help, and it also promoted the abuse of Afurong. The concubines who entered the palace even used it as a spice, which caused the emperor to become more and more obscene.

But what happened later proved that A Fleur was not a magic medicine at all, but a poison that destroys people's body and mind.

People who use Aphrodite continue to have unconscious, crazy and foolish reactions. They can’t leave this thing for half a day. Many princes and nobles and wealthy businessmen in the past were poisoned by this thing. They not only emptied their homes to buy this thing in large quantities, but also Become the minions of the foreign merchants who control the goods, and the mind is robbed by Afurong. For this reason, there are not a few who kill each other with close ones. However, the emperor was also deceived by Afurong, not only did not strictly prohibit it, but also opened the East China Sea gate, making the East China Sea border into a crisis for a while.

The dynasty, which should have been extended for decades, lost to the deliberate overseas barbarian and Afurong.

"In the previous dynasty, because Afurong corrupted the foundation of the country, harmed the people and wealth, and attracted the enemy into the country, so that the people with lofty ideals could not bear the country's ruin and the family was destroyed. The gate of the country has also overthrown the precarious front." After a pause, Sekong shook his head and sighed, "After Gao Zu entered the royal capital, he swept away the remnants of the former dynasty and searched all the Afurongs, along with the plants planted in the imperial house. It was burned down and even enacted a national law to prohibit this. But at that time, the family of Helian, who had retreated from the capital, took away a packet of Aphrodite seeds."

Xuan Su held his breath and clenched his fists unconsciously.

"The Helian family is already good at Gu art. With the help of this poison, they made two kinds of Gu worms." Sekong closed his eyes, "These two kinds of gu worms are bloodthirsty for a living, extremely fierce. Suffering can help people practice skills to quench their poison, continue their invigorating vitality, and also bite their hearts and kill people invisible. Among them, female Gu is the main one, and the name is "Longevity". Both Helian Shen and Zhao Bingmo have this in their bodies. ; The male Gu is the obedience, and the name is "Li Hate". He Lianyu once planted this Gu to hold the power."

Xuan Su took a deep breath: "That is to say, Longevity Gu has an absolute suppressive effect on Lihen Gu, no matter how high the martial arts is, it is controlled by the Gu worm in the body?"

"Yes." The abbot Sejian nodded, "Moreover, Lihen Gu is fed by the poison extracted from poppy and grows up. It becomes poisonous every once in a while. Only the blood of the longevity Gu host can relieve the pain, so He Lian Shen I am very relieved of Helianyu."

Xuan Su only felt like a knuckle in his throat: "But Helian Shen is dead!"

Sixteen years ago, the soul-burial palace changed owners. Although it is said that Helian Shen died suddenly of an illness, as long as the people of the rivers and lakes who have long brains know that there must be tricks, the so-called death of illness is just a piece of ugliness that cannot be covered. Cloth, just use it as a cover.

The abbot Sejian looked up at him: "Then do you know how he died?"

The thought flashed in Xuan Su's mind: "He Lianyu must be the one who defeated him, but if He Lianyu wants to bring him down, he must first quietly resolve the threat of Lihen Gu, then... it's Senior Zhao!"

Without the help of Zhao Bingmo, He Lianyu would not have been easy to seize power, but she had never violated the water of the sinking well with Helian. Why did she do this?

Fortunately, seeing that the abbot will not sell Guanzi, he continued: "Amitabha Buddha. The most difficult thing in the world is nothing more than wanting and unbreakable; the hardest thing to ask for embarrassment is nothing more than love. Zhao Bingmo has a perverse personality. , I indulged in wanton affection all my life, but also fell into the devil in love... But in the final analysis, it is also Lao Na’s fault."

Xuan Su only feels that his mind is full of mist, and it will turn into a paste after mixing it up: "This...what does it have to do with the abbot?"

The Abbot Sejian sighed: "Fate is a robbery. Thirty years ago, Zhao Bingmo traveled in the Central Plains martial arts under the pseudonym He Lianyue, and met my brother Sekong and your master Duan Ya Daoist. At that time she It’s not as temperamental as it is now, and the three of them share their tempers and become friends. This is a good thing, but it’s a pity..."

Xuan Su was inexplicably surprised, and couldn't help asking: "What a pity?"

"It's a pity..." The abbot Sejian's fingers slowly clenched, "She fell in love with Junior Sekong, and for this she became paranoid and resentful, and even used force to force her, angering Wuxiang Temple."

Xuan Su frowned. It sounds absurd for a woman to fall in love with a monk, but regardless of Buddha and Tao, although there are clear rules and precepts, they all follow from the heart. If a person has already given birth to love and mortal heart, Zhan can not let go, even if strong according to Garan Yeyu is useless.

Therefore, he seldom asked, "So, how does Zen Master Sekong think of her?"

Unexpectedly, see the abbot said: "How the younger brother sees her is something I still don't understand, because no one would listen to his answer at that time, and he had no chance to say it."

"Why?"

Let see the abbot's voice slightly mute: "Amitabha Buddha, good is good. Although I am compassionate and willing to cross the emperor to be good, there are boundaries that cannot be crossed, such as the difference between good and evil."

If she is just He Lianyue, then whatever choice Sekong makes is determined by the destiny of the people, but she is Zhao Bingmo, that means the world cannot be pointed out by thousands of people.
