Chapter 384: An acquaintance meets an acquaintance again
At this time, Hou Qi indeed looked like he was possessed by an evil spirit.
You can clearly see vein-like black veins on the face, winding and intertwining like vines. What's even more shocking is that his pupils and even the whites of his eyes have completely turned black.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you!?"
Looking at Hou Qi, who was full of fierceness and seemed to have changed into a different person, Duoying's face was full of anxiety.
Zhao Xianhua was also surprised.
But seeing Hou Qi look like this, her frown relaxed a little.
Hou Qi roared and rushed towards Jiang Shouzhong.
Jiang Shouzhong wanted to call out the flying sword, but he hesitated, stepped forward, used the wind-chasing step to dexterously get behind Hou Qi, and slashed hard at the back of Hou Qi's neck with his sword.
Hou Qi suddenly fell to the ground with a plop and fainted.
"Senior brother!"
Duoying quickly stepped forward to check.
Jiang Shouzhong glanced at Zhao Xianhua from the corner of his eyes, came to Hou Qi, squatted down and observed carefully.
He pulled open the other party's clothes and found that black veins were also visible on his chest.
These strange black veins finally converged on the man's Dantian, forming a black palm print.
"Blood Spirit Seal?"
Zhao Xianhua, who stepped forward, looked surprised.
Jiang Shouzhong raised his head and asked: "What is the Blood Spirit Seal?"
Zhao Xianhua said with a solemn expression: "The demon clan has eight major forces, the most evil ones are the Ghost Gu Forest and the Blood Spirit Cave. The main practice in the Ghost Gu Forest is cultivating poison, while the Blood Spirit Cave focuses on the technique of sacrificing blood and refining poison.
The Blood Spirit Seal in Hou Qi's hands is a poisonous technique that is difficult to solve in the world. Not many people can solve it. We at Danxia Peak do have Zhen'er pills that can be suppressed, but the problem is that these pills are kept in forbidden areas and we don't have them with us."
Duoying was so anxious that she was about to cry: "Fifth Senior Uncle, what should we do now?"
Zhao Xianhua sighed helplessly: "We can only make him coma first. If we can't find a solution within three days, maybe... ...Maybe even if the Da Luo Immortal came, there would be nothing he could do."
Duoying was at a loss as if she had been struck by lightning.
She and Hou Qi grew up together. They are typical childhood sweethearts, and they are also enviable gods and goddesses outside.
If there are no accidents, we will be happily dependent on each other for the rest of our lives.
I never thought that now I would have to part ways between life and death.
The girl wiped her tears, hugged Hou Qi and choked with sobs: "If senior brother dies, then I will go down to accompany him."
Zhao Xianhua sighed, and then said angrily: " It must be your second uncle who did it. He wanted to force Hou Qi to tell the whereabouts of the magic pill, so he secretly colluded with the demon clan to carry out this murder!"
Jiang Shouzhong rubbed his chin with a playful expression.
Judging from Zhao Xianhua's expression just now, Hou Qi's appearance was beyond her expectation.
If Hou Qi was persecuted by the thieves who attacked Danxia Peak, it means that Zhao Xianhua is not very familiar with these people and does not know the details of each other.
Then why did Zhao Xianhua become a traitor?
Jiang Shouzhong looked around and said calmly:
"Master, who didn't see Miss Duo, it stands to reason that he should be with Hou Qi. It seems that the worst is worse. Senior Zhao, Where do you think Miss Duo’s master is? Or has he been killed?”
Zhao Xianhua shook his head: “The fourth brother’s cultivation is not bad, he may not be killed now. The most important thing is that if I were Fourth Senior Brother, I would definitely go to the mountain, and there are so many people there that thieves would hardly have a chance to attack..."
Having said this, Zhao Xianhua looked at Jiang Shouzhong sincerely:
"Master Jiang, please go to the mountain with Duoying to find the fourth senior brother. I will take Hou Qi to the capital first. Several people in the capital of Nanjin Kingdom The famous doctor has a relationship with Danxia Peak. I'll see if I can cure Hou Qi.
If I can't, I'll find a safe place to place him and then join you."
Seeing that the woman wanted to drive him away, Jiang Shouzhong thought for a while and said: "Senior Zhao, let's go up the mountain together. It is safest to let Hou Qi stay with us.
As for him You also said that ordinary famous doctors don't look down on it. Nowadays, the strange phenomenon appears on the Moon Bridge in the water, which has attracted many martial arts masters. I believe that there are also people in the martial arts world with good medical skills.
Even if no one can save him, if he can get the so-called opportunity, he might be able to save Hou Qi. In addition, even if we are unlucky enough to encounter people from the Blood Spirit Cave, we can catch them and ask for the antidote. "
Zhao Xianhua could not refute Jiang Shouzhong's suggestion for a while.
She frowned and said: "But in this way, it will be a little inconvenient to take Hou Qi with you. "
"Nothing inconvenient. "
Jiang Shouzhong walked to the carriage, untied the horse harness from the horse, put the unconscious Hou Qi on the horse, and said with a smile, "Although the carriage can't get on, the horse can still get on." It went up, right? ”
Seeing this situation, Zhao Xianhua had no choice but to give up.
......
Shortly after Jiang Shouzhong and his party left, several more people came to the foot of Mohai Mountain.
These people are all young women, wearing dark blue clothes, exuding a cold and sharp aura.
Obviously a certain sect force.
The most eye-catching thing is a beautiful girl in the middle.
The girl is still young, with a bit of childishness between her eyebrows. The edges of her clothes are decorated with silver bells and small beads. There are several colorful bracelets wrapped around her wrists, which form a perfect match with her fair skin. A stark contrast.
You Qi’s eyes looked clear and bright, but they revealed an indescribable coldness and cunning.
She has such charming charm at such a young age, which makes people think about how she will bring disaster to the country and the people when she grows up.
“Little Master, there are traces of the Blood Spirit Seal.”
One of the female disciples sniffed her nose, then took out a bloody talisman and threw it into the grass in front of her.
As a red light flashed, it was obvious that several grass blades were stained with blood.
The charming girl walked to those blades of grass, gently pulled out one, twisted it on her fingertips, and said with a faint smile: "Is this the level of Master Jiang's Blood Spirit Seal? I still have it. Thinking that he has reached the state of 'blood and soul taking shape, spiritual consciousness reaches the sky'."
The female disciple next to me said:
“In terms of cultivation talent, no one can compare with you, my little master. Moreover, after Protector Jiang betrays the Blood Spirit Cave, the life and death talisman on his body will also activate, and the effect will be It’s a big discount.”
Another female disciple said angrily:
“I don’t know what Protector Jiang was thinking. The cave master treated him so well, but he betrayed the Blood Spirit Cave. Isn’t it because the young master killed his beloved disciple. But his disciple is also looking for death, and he actually intends to poison the little master. He deserves to die!"
Other disciples are equally angry.
The female disciple turned to the charming girl and said: "Little master, this time the cave master asked us to come and clean up the door. You must not be soft-hearted and must eradicate the roots."
The charming girl smiled when she heard this. He stood up: "Do you think I am a kindhearted person with a soft heart?"
After hearing this, all the subordinates realized that the cute little master in their eyes was actually a real little devil, whose ruthless methods made many of his fellow disciples fear him.
You must know that the Blood Spirit Cave itself is a demon sect among the demon clan, and they are all ruthless.
The little girl named Jiang Que looked harmless to humans and animals when she first came to the Blood Spirit Cave, but she soon became known as a "cold-blooded snake and scorpion".
Ginger Que put his hands on his back and looked up at the mountain, with a sneer on his lips: "You think you are safe when you run to the mountain? Let alone the mountain, even if you run to the sky, I will still drain you dry. Blood!”
……
About half an hour later, Jiang Shouzhong and his party arrived at the mountain. Contrary to what he imagined, Jiang Shouzhong did not directly see the wonders of the Moon Bridge in the Water. The first thing that caught his eye was a rather luxurious and spacious villa.
On the huge stone tablet in front of the villa, there are two words - Shuiyue.
Through Duoying’s explanation, Jiang Shouzhong understood the reason.
This Demon Sea Mountain has been a holy land in the Nanman Zone for a long time. It is said that many immortals have ascended here, and even one of the Zhuge family's most precious treasures, the "Shuiyue Dream Mirror", was produced here.
Later, it went through several dynasty changes, and finally came under the rule of the Nanjin Kingdom.
Wanyan Tuyun, the younger brother of the founding emperor of the Southern Jin Kingdom, was a martial arts wizard. He specially built a villa called "Shuiyue" here to protect the Shuiyue Bridge.
Once the number one master in the Southern Jin Kingdom, Shan Alie came from here.
So Shuiyue Villa has a high status in the world, and no one dares to make trouble here.
Even if the Southern Jin Kingdom is now in a melee, neither the princes nor the people in the world dare to venture here and politely go up the mountain to visit.
Fortunately, Shuiyue Villa has always been very open to guests and will not impose any obstacles on the monks who come to look for opportunities.
As long as they don't cause trouble in the villa, they are all treated as honored guests.
The current owner of Shuiyue Villa is named Chu Qichuan. He was once an adopted son of the previous owner Wan Yanhong, and later became his son-in-law. Wan Yanhong handed over the position of owner of the village to him before his death. Got him.
At that time, this move also aroused dissatisfaction from the court, but in the end the court did not intervene to stop it.
Although Chu Qichuan's martial arts talent is not top-notch, he has outstanding interpersonal skills and is quite popular. He has basically never had any grudges with anyone, and everyone outside will give him a bit of a thumbs-down.
At this time, there were many monks outside the villa.
Those who are somewhat famous are all received by the housekeeper personally.
Even monks who are not well-known will be arranged to other courtyards, and no one will be left out in the cold. " I have met Alchemist Zhao.”
Danxia Peak is the largest alchemy sect in the world, and its alchemist status is also quite noble. After all, for monks, the alchemist who makes alchemy is a famous doctor and a living bodhisattva.
Maybe a small pill can allow them to break through or save their lives.
For such a character, Shuiyue Villa naturally does not dare to look down upon him. Even if they knew that Danxia Peak was in trouble, they would not neglect it.
Zhao Xianhua nodded and returned the greeting: "Steward Wang called me 'Alchemy Master', which is really a compliment to me. I am far behind several senior brothers in terms of alchemy. By the way, my fourth junior brother Lan Qianxin You should have seen him, has he ever come to Shuiyue Villa?"
The housekeeper was startled, thought about it carefully, shook his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, Master Zhao, I haven't seen him."
When Duoying heard this, a look of disappointment appeared on her face.
Zhao Xianhua looked a little surprised.
Perhaps in her opinion, as long as the fourth junior brother does not die, he will come to Shuiyue Bridge to look for opportunities no matter what.
Zhao Xianhua frowned tightly. When she raised her gaze, she inadvertently met a guard from a villa in the distance. Then she withdrew her gaze and asked Butler Wang gently:
"Moon Bridge in the Water Isn’t the entrance barrier opened yet?”
Butler Wang said, “It won’t be opened until noon tomorrow. Why don’t I arrange a place for you, Master Zhao first?”
Zhao Xianhua nodded: "I'll trouble you."
The group followed Butler Wang into the courtyard.
When entering the door, the guard who had just looked at Zhao Xianhua happened to pass by her.
The sharp-eyed Jiang Shouzhong saw a ball of paper in Zhao Xianhua's hand.
Jiang Shouzhong’s pupils shrank.
There is actually an accomplice of Zhao Xianhua in Shuiyue Villa?
Jiang Shouzhong, who originally wanted to use Zhao Xianhua to fish, realized that the fish he wanted to catch might be quite heavy. I don’t know if I can catch it.
Led by Butler Wang, the group came to a small courtyard.
But here, Jiang Shouzhong unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance he shouldn't have met.
Duoying also knows this acquaintance.
"Young Master Fang!?"
Duoying looked at the man sitting in a wheelchair lazily basking in the sun in front of the courtyard door next to her with a look of surprise.
There is an old servant standing next to the wheelchair.
The pale man nodded slightly towards Jiang Shouzhong and Duoying, and said with a smile: "The fate is wonderful, I didn't expect to meet two friends here."
Yes, The man was the second young master of Mingjian Villa and Fang Ziheng's second brother.
The old servant is the swordsman Mo Bering.
I remember that when Jiang Shouzhong and Duoying were seeking swords at Mingjian Villa, they had to pass three tests. In the first test, the second young master of the Fang family asked them to show off their talents.
What Jiang Shouzhong remembered most was that before leaving, the other party gave Ran Qingchen and him a note respectively.
What he wrote on it was:
A beautiful woman is hard to find, so do it and cherish it.
He didn't know what was written on the note to Ran Qingchen.
Jiang Shouzhong was a little confused: "Why are you here?"
After the Qingzhou Massacre, Mingjian Villa was disbanded and ceased to exist, and the people in the village also dispersed. The old owner and This second young master Fang is missing.
Jiang Shouzhong thought he would never meet him again in this life.
“Why can’t I be here?”
Second Young Master Fang asked with a smile.
Jiang Shouzhong shrugged and said: "After we said goodbye to Qingzhou, I thought I would never see you again. By the way, your brother Fang Ziheng is now practicing in Zhenxuan Mountain, and I saved him again. This money You can’t cheat on the debt of gratitude.”
“Don’t worry, it won’t happen.”
Master Fang smiled.
“Where is Mr. Fang?” Jiang Shouzhong asked curiously, “Could he be here too?”
Young Master Fang slowly shook his head: "Grandpa went to meet an old friend, and asked me to come here to look for opportunities."
"Oh, that's a pity."
Jiang Shouzhong was a little disappointed.
Second Young Master Fang’s eyes rested on Xiao Lingqiu next to Jiang Shouzhong for a moment. He sighed slightly and asked Jiang Shouzhong: "It’s hard to find a beautiful woman again...Does Mr. Jiang cherish it?"
Jiang Shouzhong was speechless for a moment.
Second Young Master Fang closed a book on his lap and said softly: "It doesn't matter, there is always a chance. This time, Mr. Jiang must know how to cherish it."
