Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 653 652. Really Scary

When footsteps sounded, Li Zhen opened his eyes.

Then I saw the toes of a pair of white shoes, and the eyes that were looming in the veil.

"gone."

the woman said.

"Yes."

Li Zhen nodded, got up, glanced at the emperor sitting sideways in the pavilion in the lake, and the servant standing aside like ordinary servants, and then walked out of the water pavilion with Mr. Huqiu.

The two of them didn't speak a word along the way, and after walking to the three wide squares, Lord Huqiu's voice finally sounded:

"All right?"

"Ah."

Li Zhen responded:
"Small injury, it's okay."

After hearing this, the woman didn't show anything, but her steps seemed to be a little easier.

Then he asked directly:
"When Luoshen approached, why didn't I know."

When she came into the palace today, she did not bring the little snake with her.

Obviously for the sake of safety.

Therefore, this is one of the few "free" time for the two of them.

So Li Zhen didn't hide anything, and said directly:
"Your Excellency Luoshen has always been able to communicate with people through this Yaolin Tianyi...According to Pindao's guess, she can not only communicate, but can even see, touch, and feel...and at the end of the first day of Liyang At that time, it left a small piece on Pindao. It was in the palm of the hand, and gave Pindao the right to choose whether to keep it or not."

"...Why didn't you say it earlier? Why didn't you say it on the bathing day?"

"Because I can't figure out what it's supposed to do."

Li Zhen shook his head slightly:

"If you want to fish, you have to put bait. Pindao also wants to see what it is going to do... But today when changing clothes, it found Pindao. Ask Pindao to do me a favor and use golden light to approach Huang Xizi... But Pindao was paved with golden light, and it rolled into the grass. It’s just that Pindao doesn’t know if it has successfully clinged to it...Your Excellency might guess what it’s going to do?”

"What it does is another story. What I want to know is...why did you help her?"

Because the pronunciation was the same, Li Zhen naturally didn't know what Master Huqiu was talking about.But he didn't mean to hide anything, and said directly:

"It told me that it can help adults live longer."

"..."

The slow pace finally stopped.

Then it returned to normal in a blink of an eye.

Moving forward with the Taoist who was half the wrong position with her, she turned her head, and while walking, she looked at the Taoist's voice and asked calmly:
"Do you believe?"

"Yuan Tiangang's hexagrams are here."

Li Zhen showed a rare look of blindness.

This was also the first time the woman had seen such an expression on his face.

"Whether Pindao believes it or not, after all, he has come to the south of the Yangtze River. Since he said that Pindao is the only one who can save adults, even if there are huge difficulties, since he has decided to come, he has to go through it. Yes. And right now, since it has given Pindao a glimmer of hope, if you don’t try it, how will you know?”

"Ah……"

The moment he heard his words, the woman's ironic laughter sounded:

"It's in vain that you, a Taoist priest, look smart in every possible way, but why did you take this stupid step in the end? You know...it's a demon."

"..."

Li Zhen didn't speak.

She didn't even give Li Zhen a chance to speak.

"Since ancient times, which one of the people who have cooperated with these demon clans has not been lost forever? Which one has not been stinking for thousands of years? What they give you is less than one ten-thousandth of what they get! Renew your life? Even that candle Jiuyin can't Changsheng can only last for a while now, why do you think it can do it?"

Li Zhen was speechless.

Why are you so clueless?

So I couldn't resist saying:
"Didn't the adults also cooperate with them?"

"I cooperated with them because I was going to die, what? Could it be that you are going to die too?"

"..."

Take a few more steps.

"Why don't you talk!"

"..."

Take a few more steps.

"Say it, aren't you eloquent and good at speaking!"

"..."

Walked a few more steps...

"Taoist priest!"

There was finally a trace of sullenness in her voice:
"You are deaf!"

"Ugh……"

Now, Li Zhen finally responded.

Sighing, scratching his head, he looked helpless:
"My lord, time is a river..."

"..."

"Compared to the Second Division, Pindao is at best a toad lying on the edge of a shallow river."

"……so?"

"So, everything has been done, and what should have happened has happened. Can we look forward?"

"..."

The woman was startled, and then she seemed to be very angry and laughed back:

"What nonsense are you talking about!? Could it be that I blamed you by mistake!?"

"Pindao is not talking nonsense... Do you know about gamblers? Why do these gamblers continue to sell their sons and daughters after losing their red eyes? Because they know that they have nothing to lose. And if you continue to gamble, you have a chance Turn over. Of course...Pindao also knows that this reason is a bit absurd, but it is true. The same is true for gamblers, and the same is true for Pindao. Although Pindao also knows how difficult it is to continue...but it is better than nothing Don’t do it, don’t you? Besides, under the care of Pindao these days, my lord eats well and sleeps soundly, and I haven’t had a nosebleed for a long time. Everything is developing to a good place... Isn’t it good?”

As soon as Li Zhen bowed, he looked like a rascal:
"It's fine...My lord, there are so many people at the moment, let's go quickly, okay?"

There is no one in this square, so it's not unreasonable to stay here all the time, isn't it?

And after the woman heard what he said... Li Zhen couldn't see her eyes clearly through the bamboo hat.

Only after knowing that she was silent for a few breaths, did she walk forward again.

But instead of talking about this topic, he turned his head and said:

"A few months ago, I sent in a picture of "White Lotus Morning Confession" specially made by Luoshen."

Then she seemed to guess what the Taoist was going to ask, and continued to explain:
"The picture of "White Lotus Morning Confession" was originally made of a special kind of grass silk called soul-pulling silk, which was a method of the Yinmen. After the death of the last master of the Yinmen, Qinghe, the soul-pulling silk Only Luoshen knows how to make it, and even I don't know how to make it.

And the "White Lotus Morning Repentance Ritual" picture is made of this grass silk. After the secret method is refined, it can be matched with...how should I put it, some methods that I can't understand from the monster clan can achieve what you saw that day, giving Yu Wenhua and all of them Like a goddess who is forced to dodge in a panic, condense...or extract something from people and use it for Luoshen. "

While talking, the two of them also walked to the guarded area of ​​the palace gate.

Master Huqiu stopped talking, and went straight out of the palace, Wang Shichong's war horse had disappeared.

Obviously gone.

After leaving the range of the moat, she led Li Zhen up to the carriage and continued:
"This kind of grass silk has a characteristic, that is, it can make people fall into an illusion. Through this slow poison, it can satisfy the user's physical and mental desires. For example, you, a person like you who likes to tell stories to others, may come into contact with this kind of grass. After the silk thread, you will see that people all over the world are enthusiastically listening to your story. But this kind of poison lasts for a short time, and usually makes you lose your mind for a moment at most...or in other words, in that depressive era, Those secret spies who are looking for information for the human race can get a little relaxation in that environment."

"..."

Li Zhen always felt that this thing looked like a thing...

Can't help but ask:
"It's addictive, right? It ends up killing you?"

"...Why did you die?"

The woman is a little puzzled.

"...Is this thing harmless?"

"If you only talk about the soul thread, there is no harm... It cannot be said that there is no harm, Taoist priest, the more difficult the world is, the more harmful this thing will be."

Li Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and became more and more puzzled:

"Why?"

"Because it allows you to escape the pain of the world for a short time, and fall into the beautiful fantasy that you can't extricate yourself from. Just like you said. A useless gambler can let him do it for half an hour a day. A beautiful dream of inexhaustible money and endless squandering. And one day, suddenly, this dream disappears, what will happen to him?"

"Uh...this..."

Li Zhen thought for a while and asked:

"Then send this thing to the palace..."

"Besides the one you challenged just now, who else?"

When getting into the car, the woman sneered.

After getting into the car, she took off her hat.

For some reason, she became less and less fond of wearing this thing in front of Li Zhen.

Leaning on the soft cushion, she ordered:
"Follow this road, go south, two miles out of town. There's a small pier... go there."

"Yes."

Li Zhen started to drive the car, and at the same time asked in a low voice:

"My lord gave this picture to Huang Xizi?"

"No, I just told His Majesty that I got such a picture in my hand..."

"...But Huang Xizi took it away?"

"Ah."

"My lord did it on purpose?"

"Ah."

"This……"

"The night Luoshen Pirates Pill, I was the one who sent her into the palace."

"..."

Mom.

How many "unconscionable" things have you done, a bad woman.

The corner of Li Zhen's mouth twitched.

"At that time, the orchid sari from a foreign country on her body was made of soul-drawing silk. After Huang Xizi's hand came into contact with this sari, Luoshen won fifteen breaths of escape time. "

"..."

"And at that time I was thinking... the mind of a person who has realized the Tao is unbreakable, standing in the sky and the earth, relying on the truth in his heart. And the person who has this truth, facing this is to confuse other people in the palace. Sally, why did Luoshen win fifteen breaths of time from Huang Xizi..."

"Because Huang Xizi has something to ask for?"

After Li Zhen asked subconsciously, she heard the woman's response:

"Other than that, there is no other explanation."

"Then what is he asking for?"

Li Zhen was puzzled:

"He is the fourth best expert in the world... and he doesn't seem to have any ambition to compete for the first place. He feels like a servant of His Majesty to the poor... Money? If he wants to get money, it's too easy. Longevity? Shouldn’t it? Could it be that he wants to be a man again…uh…huh????”

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes suddenly became strange.

"Difficult...could it be..."

Not really.

Master Huqiu, this is too bad...

You are really willing to kill yourself.

Zhao Zhao greets people's vitals?
The quality is so poor?
And as if she could see what Li Zhen was thinking, she chuckled lightly:
"Heh... so, no one in this world is without weaknesses, isn't it?"

"But... what is the meaning of this, my lord? Besides giving him a little satisfaction... what else can I do?"

"Taoist, this soul thread is like these flowers and plants. If you want the flowers to bloom bright enough, you need fertile land."

"...Huang Xizi himself is that piece of land?"

"good."

The woman narrowed her eyes:
"People who have enlightened the Tao have a firm mind. If they want to make a fuss about their minds, it is as difficult as reaching the sky. Because what they practice is the truth they made to the world when they took this step... or "promise". Think It is impossible to influence these principles."

"Then my lord wants to..."

"The grass thread in Luoshen's "White Lotus Morning Confession Ritual" picture is a hundred times that of the ordinary "Bai Lian Morning Confession Ritual" picture."

"..."

"One piece is enough to make ordinary people unable to extricate themselves. The soul-drawing silk is indispensable for the development of the Demon Lotus Sect to the scale it is today. Then if the entire "White Lotus Morning Confession" is made of the soul-drawing thread How about restraint? Its illusion will be ten times, a hundred times stronger than the soul-drawing thread that makes people fall into the illusion. But similarly, the nutrients it needs, that is, the consumption of spiritual thoughts is also huge. That one Figure, I am afraid that ordinary practitioners in the free state will wither their spiritual thoughts after a moment of exposure, their blood will wither after ten days of exposure, and become stupid after one month of exposure."

"Huang Xizi can't feel it, right?"

"Of course not...but he doesn't care. Because he lives by that principle, the so-called divine sense is already dispensable. But...he is still a human being after all, a Taoist priest. Just like you and me, God When the mind is exhausted, he wants to sleep and rest, and his body is tired. Otherwise, he will waste his efforts. But he can't sleep, or even if he can sleep, it can't make up for the deficiency of "Bailian Morning Confession". Every day, His spiritual sense is losing money, and he will feel more and more tired."

"Then what's the point of doing that?"

"The meaning is to be like me..."

There was no regret or pity in the woman's voice, let alone any pleasure or expectation.

It was as calm and calm as if he was dealing with his own death.

"Taoist, even me. And he...he is very old, isn't he? Since His Majesty was born, he has been by His Majesty's side. Step by step, he has come to the present...His body is always Aging, and if there is no picture of "White Lotus Morning Confession", then he may age slowly. But after having it, his aging will be accelerated. It may not take a few years, and he will not be able to withstand the invasion of time. Close your eyes forever. And when the time comes, whether it's Number Four in the World or Grand Supervisor Zhangxiang, when you get old, you will become weak, your strength will decline, and you will even die silently, not even as good as a dog. "

"... Doesn't he understand this truth?"

"Why don't you understand? Even you understand the truth, he won't understand?"

"..."

Why are you scolding people?

Li Zhenxin said.

Then a long sigh was heard from the woman:
"Hey...but isn't that what desire in this world is like? You know it's harmful, but you still can't help but get close to it. A cultivator who was sent to the palace since childhood and was carried by those enshrined, this In her life, she has almost achieved power over the world...but unfortunately, she is an eunuch.

His life seems complete, but compared to Yu Huaji, Zhang Daoxuan, and anyone else, he has one biggest shortcoming.How about number four in the world?Compared to other masters, he is just an eunuch.How about power over the ruling and opposition?Compared with ordinary people, he has never even tasted the taste of a woman... But now, even if it is not true, even if it is false, at least he has a kind of comfort.

People...that's how it is, when I didn't make a fortune before, I could bear many things.But as time goes by and the older you get, some things you can't get will become a thorn stuck in the deepest part of your heart.

You obviously can't pull it out, but you always want to tease it, scratch its itchy spot through your boots.That's it.Therefore, I am sure that even if he knows, he will not be able to bear it.Because, his life has been bitter, and he has never tasted sweetness.And now, after taking a sip...whether he, or anyone in the world, as long as they are human, they will absolutely be unable to resist it. "

"..."

Li Zhen remained silent.

But he thought so.

But more of a shock.

It turns out...in Mr. Huqiu's place, killing...or destroying a person is not just a trick, or some vicious scheme.

You can also do it without drawing the knife, the white knife goes in and the red knife goes out...

Biology, psychology, conspiracy, conspiracy...

Everything is with her, and it can be used as a means to kill the enemy and clear the way.

And that's not the scariest.

The scariest thing is...

Obviously not with the light and the dust...

but……

Even time is her partner.

For no reason, Li Zhen thought of the words that Luoshen or Yaolin Tianyi said:

"Obviously she is friends with everyone, but no matter where she goes, no matter who she is, she will treat everyone with respect. I know that she is extremely dangerous, but I still have that little fantasy, and I want to be friends with her. Allies, even partners...and when you find that all your good intentions are just a dream bubble that you conceived, before you have time to lose, you will face the choice she has to choose... Then, unconsciously Go the way she wants you to go..."

"Ugh……"

Unconsciously, he let out a long sigh.

After hearing this sigh, the woman leaning on the cushion and looking at the sky through the gap in the curtain suddenly said:
"Taoist...are you afraid?"

"...what does your lord mean?"

"Are you afraid that one day I will treat you like this."

"..."

Looking at the Jiangdu City Gate which is close at hand.

Li Zhen thought for a while and asked:

"Will adults do it?"

"If I say no, will you believe me?"

"Well……"

sunset.

Shining on the profile of the Taoist priest.

It was hazy.

"meeting."

He squinted his eyes in response.

"Master Pindaoxin."

"……Ah."

Out of the city gate, amidst the rattling of carriages.

There was a woman's chuckle.

　Just finished writing, post first, correct typos.
