sword sentient beings

Chapter 25 The Spider Curtain

"You don't have to worry about him," Black Widow took Tang Zhao's hand and walked along the corridor.Her walking posture is graceful and graceful, very elegant, and the hem of her skirt hardly shakes between steps, like duckweed crossing the water.

The two walked slowly, no one disturbed them, only the autumn wind blowing the fallen leaves dancing in the air.

"He has a way to heal himself, and he will look like a normal person in a short while. Although the prosecutors are a bunch of mad dogs, they still cherish their lives, and they don't think of committing suicide."

At this time, the sun was just right, and the autumn wind was surprisingly gentle. The sun was shining on his body, and it gradually warmed up. Tang Zhao gradually recovered from his panic, and said, "You...you knew that this sword would kill him?"

The black widow said: "I'm guessing. Swords may have various temperaments, but none of them are trash. Of course he won't be the one he values ​​so much."

temperament?

sword?

People have temperaments, but swords also have temperaments?

Tang Zhao asked: "But why? He knew he would be injured and asked me to cut him?"

The black widow smiled and said, "Probably to test the sword. You are a newcomer, and the sword has been dusty for a long time. Isn't it natural that you will see blood when you see the sun again?"

Tang Zhao shook his head and said, "Then you don't have to..."

"Furthermore, it's probably also Mingzhi." The Black Widow's words behind her seemed to be talking to herself, "Demonstration is a way to show your ambition. He must win this battle, and now he doesn't hesitate to kill himself. Isn't it easy for other people blocking the way?" ? He asked me a question, did I scare you too much?"

Tang Zhao was dubious—the Black Widow urged him to hack Xingji, but Xingji accepted the move passively. If he wanted to ask a question, it should be the Black Widow who asked the question first, right?
If Black Widow's reason makes sense, Tang Zhao's reason here also makes sense:
Since Xing Ji himself admits that he was wrong, isn't it natural to pay for his mistakes?

However, this point of thought is also absurd - who is Xing Ji, and what is his style, how can he punish himself for such a trivial matter?Why do you have to pay such a high price?
Brainstorming makes more sense.

However, the sun was very warm, and the voice of the beauty in white was so gentle that Tang Zhao unknowingly let go of his guard and stopped thinking about it.

At this time, the black widow asked: "Young man, what's your name and how old are you?"

There is no need to think about this question, Tang Zhao replied directly: "Student Tang Zhao, this year is twelve years old."

The black widow said: "Twelve years old... how young. Even our Five Poisons Association doesn't need such a young child. We have to keep them for a few years before they can go into battle. The District Prosecutor is not afraid. But Tang Zhao—"

She stopped, turned to Tang Zhao, and said kindly and seriously, "You are not an ordinary child since you picked up the sword just now. The person holding the sword, how can you panic? Just saw some blood and it's like this." , if you want to see mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the future, what should you do?"

Tang Zhao said softly, "Yes, what should I do?"

He couldn't answer this question for a while.

Since he was a child, he longed to learn martial arts and swords, and to be a sword fairy flying into the sky and escaping from the earth like the people in the story.But he never dreamed of gore, killing, violence...

Because the sword fairy in the story doesn't know how to do these things, even if there is a fight, the fairy spirit depicted is ethereal and wonderful, as if the sword fairy doesn't bleed when killing people, just like the heroes in the rivers and lakes don't know how to eat, drink, and scatter.

But in fact, everyone who holds a sword faces confrontation, bloodshed, injury and even death from the first day of learning the sword.

He vaguely felt these things, and he faintly resisted, but he was unwilling to give up.

The black widow saw that he bowed his head in silence, and patiently said: "Don't worry too much. You have to pass this level sooner or later. It will rain, and the sword will kill people. I haven't seen anyone who can't pass it. If you want to pass the level slowly, you can Slowly realize it by yourself, if you want to hurry up, you should listen to the guidance of the seniors."

Tang Zhao understood what she meant, and said, "Senior, are you also a swordsman? How did you pass the test back then?"

The black widow smiled lightly: "I'm not a swordsman yet. I will be in the future, but not now. Maybe we will become swordsmen together. But I have experience in killing people. When I am free, I will ask someone to come to you. Let's have a good chat."

Tang Zhao cupped his hands in thanks.

Before they knew it, the two arrived in front of a big black room, which was the previous bathhouse.The black widow let go of Tang Zhao, and said, "Go in and wash off the blood on your body, and come out a clean and good boy again."

Tang Zhao agreed and entered the house.

The bathhouse in the villa seemed to have hot water all the time. Tang Zhao soaked in the water again, and the smell of blood gradually dissipated in the steam.

His spirit suddenly relaxed, and the pool enclosed by white mist was like his spiritual home, bringing incomparable peace of mind and relaxation.

After soaking for a while, he seemed to hear some small voices outside the door.

Drizzling, tiny and messy.

A chill came down the back of his neck, Tang Zhao stood up from the pool suddenly, froze for a moment, then sank into the water again.

It seems that I am used to it.

Outside the courtyard separated by a wall, there was darkness.

spider!

Swarm of spiders, sea of ​​spiders!
Thousands of spiders gushed out from the ground, corners, eaves, and crevices like a tide, crawling one by one, and gathered under the corner of the snow-white skirt.

The black widow is dressed in white, standing alone in the swamp of thousands of furry black spiders, like a narcissus blooming alone in the mud.

Counting the time, the Black Widow turned around and left.

In front of her, the spiders automatically moved out of the way, like laying out a carpet in front of her, asking her to move forward.

She walked forward, and all the spiders followed, like a black torrent, like a tail under her white skirt.

From the beginning to the end, she did not issue a command, only the rustling of spiders crawling.

There was no one along the way, and no creature dared to spy on the marching spiders.

Until a courtyard, a girl in black came up to greet her and bowed deeply: "Yuan Qing welcomes the owner."

The black widow nodded slightly. At this time, she was expressionless and not angry. Once she put away her smile, her soft and charming features immediately became sharp.

"Yuan Qing, drive these to the A-shaped furnace to refine. I want a bottle of thousand spider venom."

Yuan Qing glanced at the spider army behind the black widow, even though she was used to seeing these eight-legged monsters, she couldn't help but change her face, and said in a trembling voice: "I'm afraid the servant girl can't drive away so many babies."

The black widow said: "Then let them eat you."

Turning to leave while speaking, the spider swarm parted to make way for her again.

Not long after she left, although the spider swarm remained in place, they gradually became agitated, Yuan Qing turned pale, took out a black whistle from her sleeve, and blew it hard——

"Zi-"

The voice was sharp and pierced through the eardrums.

The spider group seemed to be shocked by a strong electric shock, and suddenly became paralyzed. Taking this opportunity, she took out the sachet from her waist, poured some powder into her hand, and blew vigorously, the light yellow powder covered the spider group like a veil. .

The black widow left the spider group and went straight back to the main hall.

After entering the room, Xing Ji was still sitting on the kang, the smell of blood in the room was pungent, and the sandalwood could no longer cover it, but there was no trace of blood on his body.

He even changed into a new official uniform, which was flat and neat, without any wrinkles, let alone any damage.

Except that his complexion was slightly worse than before, the serious injury just now seemed to have never happened.

The black widow's eyes turned on the long sword at his waist, her envious look flashed away, and she sat down as if nothing had happened, staring at Xingji, as if she was looking at some rare species.

Xing Ji smiled and said: "There is no one who tempted me, right?"

The black widow said: "Your person? What is your person? Has he ever eaten a grain of rice from you? He ate the rice from my villa, isn't he my person?"

Xing Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "So thorough? I remember that you hate those soft-hearted, kind and benevolent people the most."

Black Widow said: "That's right—unless he is mine."

Xing Ji smiled and said: "That's true. No one wants to sleep in a poisonous snake's den all the time. They all want to draw a few reassuring people by their side. But this child can't be given to you. A swordsman I specially found. He can't. Second, I'm afraid it will be ruined by you."

The black widow sneered: "Only my Five Poisons will ruin talents, and the District Prosecutor will not ruin talents?"

Xing Ji said: "Yes, but I won't spoil it maliciously, at least not here."

Ignoring the change in Black Widow's expression, he continued, "Tang Zhao is extremely inspired, and he is a rare swordsman seedling. It's a pity that he doesn't look too good to be a spiritual official. He needs to be enlightened by martial arts in the early stage. His body is too weak, and his aptitude for martial arts is not good enough." Above average. How much material will it cost if you wait for the body to be perfected step by step? Can you afford it? Even if you can afford it, where will the sword come from in the end? I am afraid that Guizhuang will lose money and make you angry."

The black widow said: "You look down on people too much. I can't do it here. There is also the Five Poisons Association and the Jingzhe Mountain Villa. It is really a good seedling selected in a million. Where can I not find a sword? Or do you raise a sword?" Swordsmen, do you start by cutting yourself? Then we really can’t afford it, and it’s too expensive to change one life.”

The Black Widow approached him and whispered in his ear, "Can you tell me what you think? It's fun to be injured? Is it really a sword with blood? Are you crazy?"

Xing Ji didn't move his body, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if enjoying the hot wind blowing in her ears, and said: "It's okay to put it bluntly, since he can pick up that sword, I want to know, what's in the eyes of that sword? Here, what do I look like?"

"Oh? What did the result look like?"

"It can't be said that the crime is heinous, but it can only be said that death is not a pity."

The black widow let out a melodious "Oh", and said, "It's fair, think about what you did. Seeing that you have expected it, don't you think you deserve it?"

Xing Ji said: "Of course you deserve it. You should always be punished if you make a mistake."

The black widow sneered: "But you cured yourself again, shouldn't you be led to death?"

Xing Ji said: "Because you are guilty, you need forgiveness. If you are not guilty, why do you need forgiveness?"

The black widow shook her head with a smile, and said, "I don't understand the thinking of you people."

Xing Ji said: "You are not a swordsman, you don't understand."

The black widow's smile dimmed slightly, and Xing Ji said softly: "Over the years, I have gone back and forth on many wrong roads, and I am almost at a loss. But I will not die. I still have a lot of things to do. With His sword goes down with him. So I have to forgive myself first, until the day the sin is unforgivable."

He plucked the black widow's hair with his fingers, and the black widow leaned back, letting go as lightly as a cloud, and said, "Master Xing, my concubine just died of her husband. There are a lot of gossips outside."

Xing Ji disapproved and said: "It's just that the villain is jealous of the owner's wealth and beauty, his martial arts is strong and powerful, and he is impeccable, so he made up some obscene words to slander him. Does the owner take it to heart? How can they understand that you and I are noble and pure friendship?"

The black widow smiled and said, "Oh? Are you still my confidant? What kind of friendship do we have? It's just that we fought side by side once in the outer battlefield." Even so, there was a lot of sincere joy in her smile.

Xing Ji said: "Everyone who can go to the battlefield is a hero, and Zhuangzhu Yin is even a woman. On the contrary, some self-proclaimed heroes of the world would rather steal and rob than make a good contribution and get rich from straight .These people can't even compare to the owner of the village. So when I brought the team to Heyang, the first thing I thought of was you. I gave you the opportunity to make a fortune. So many people regard the magic cave as fat , I want to eat a bite, I insist on pulling out their teeth. But the owner wants to eat, I will give you a big piece."

The black widow said: "I ate your meat, and the stench can be smelled in the wind for ten miles in the rivers and lakes. Can I go out in Heyang County in the future?"

Xing Ji said: "Of course it is possible. Anyway, I will never see those old friends again. Who are you afraid of watching?"

The black widow said: "The prosecutor is so domineering, is it really like a shave? No wonder everyone is facing a big enemy. If you are in a hurry, you jump over the wall, don't force it into disaster."

Xing Ji smiled and said: "You can ask them to try. The biggest characteristic of me..."

The black widow waited for him to brag, then continued to taunt, and listened to Xing Ji said: "It's the backer. If I suffer, I will ask the inspector to take action. If the inspector fails, I will ask the commander. Finally, you can also ask the prince All the generals under his command have come. Is Heyang County some kind of outlandish place? Sooner or later, we will sort it out.”

Hearing this, the black widow gradually couldn't laugh, she forced the corners of her mouth, and said: "You have to have such a determination...you must have such a determination. I saw it on the battlefield back then, and you will always be crazy. Gao Yuanhou said It's a stroke of genius that you were dispatched to inspect the grounds, and you are just right for biting people."

Xing Ji said: "I was originally trained by the District Procuratorate, and I just went back to my hometown. It would be best if you would cooperate with me. By the way, you can help me find a good enlightenment teacher for Tang Zhao first, even if you contribute to training him .This is a lucrative business, Tang Zhaoruo is a talent, he remembers that you will return [-] points for every point you are good at."

The black widow turned her mind secretly, and said with a smile: "Don't take my favor for him, just take my favor. Good teacher, I happen to know that there is one. I'm afraid that what he teaches is not what you think."
