Tianyi

Chapter 20 Brown Clothes (7)

The old man glared at Xue Yi, and then said: "My wife and my son know who I am, but my father-in-law and his daughter-in-law did not know my identity before. He is not a member of the world, even the man on the cradle He couldn't tell whether the silver piece was a concealed weapon. After he saw my father and son discovering the silver piece, they both remained silent and anxious. They asked me again and again. I had to tell him that I already knew that it was a hidden weapon. My old enemy came to rob my grandson, and that person was after me. My grandson should be fine. I promise, we will find this dark ghost soon."

"The commotion lasted for half a night. My daughter-in-law kept crying and didn't say anything. My wife and mother-in-law finally heard the noise and rushed back to the side courtyard. This is terrible. The three wives made a huge noise. I don't think so. I didn't know what to do, and I felt that my place had been discovered by a dark ghost and I couldn't stay here any longer. I sent away three servants that night, entrusted my wife and daughter-in-law to my in-laws, and together we went back to live in the neighboring mansion. I My son and I followed the traces around, thinking that the dark ghost was targeting me and would definitely leave clues on purpose, asking me to go and meet him."

"Grandpa," Xue Yi suddenly said, "When you come to my Tianyi Sect to ask about a case, you can't say half-hidden and half-hidden."

The old man stopped talking, and after a while, he said in frustration: "Forget it, forget it, I really can't hide anything from you. Let me tell you, my revolving cone cannot come out easily, and it will hurt people if it does, and generally it won't The reason why I was taken away was because I concocted a special silver poison on the cone. Anyone who was shot by this hidden weapon would feel paralyzed and fall to the ground unable to move even if they couldn't walk more than two miles. Therefore, Twenty years ago, for those who were not hit by my concealed weapons, as long as I saw clearly the direction in which they were escaping, I could always catch up with them in time, kill them, retrieve the concealed weapons, and rarely give them a chance to escape. By 20 When I retired years ago, there were only two hidden weapons in this world that I made that I could not retrieve. One was shot at your master, and the other was shot at the dark ghost who wanted to kill me 20 years ago. On the body."

"Yeah, now there's one more." Xue Yi's eyes lit up and he gestured towards Lao Che.Lao Che understood immediately and left the hospital.

"So, Sister Xujian must have been unconscious within two miles now?" Qing Yi also understood and couldn't help but said: "This is great. When Lao Che goes to catch her, I will definitely ask We know exactly what she wants to do when she comes here again and again."

The old man said: "Master, no one in the world knows about the silver poison on my cone, because all the people who have been hit by my hidden weapon, except for the dark ghost, have long since died. Even if the hidden weapon misses the vital point, The person who was hit didn't expect that the silver poison would cause him to faint for a day and a night. Just now, I didn't want to tell you, because I was afraid that you would catch the girl in colorful clothes, she couldn't run far. You This Tianyi courtyard is in a remote place. The girl in colorful clothes must have been hiding from people. After I finish telling you the case, I can follow the direction to find her, kill her and then retrieve the hidden weapon... …I dare to ask, Sect Master, how do you know that I have hidden things that I haven’t said yet?”

Xue Yi said: "Grandpa, I don't know what the dispute was between Master and you 20 years ago. I have carefully inspected the revolving cone that Master left me. Apart from the rare workmanship, I didn't find any other abnormalities. Come to think of it, It's because the silver poison has long since dissipated. But you said just now that you tried your best to take away my master because you didn't want her to die innocently. You also said that the revolving cone only shot into my master's arm. I Just guess, your revolving cone must have something weird. According to legend, with my master's skill, his life will never be in danger if his arm is injured. The dark ghost has already escaped by then. Even if the master faints, you can take out the hidden weapon You can just escape by yourself, why do you have to take my master with you?"

"The sect master is really attentive and attentive." The old man expressed his admiration and asked: "Then, why did the sect master wait until I started to follow the traces to find the ghost before he asked me about this hidden secret?"

"I originally thought that the strangeness was related to the details of that old incident. If you didn't take the initiative to tell me, and the master swore to keep it secret, I naturally couldn't ask you openly. But now I heard you say, can you rely on it? An old concealed weapon used 20 years ago, and traced around to find the hidden ghost, that means that this weird thing is only related to the revolving cone itself. Before my master passed away, he could leave the revolving cone to me, which means that this The hidden weapon itself is not within the scope of her promise to keep it secret, so I can naturally ask you openly." Xue Yi replied.

"I'm convinced, I'm convinced." The old man stroked his forehead and sighed: "You really can't hide anything private when talking to the sect master. Forget it, I'll just pour the beans into a bamboo tube: Back then, your master promised to keep secrets, and it was true that only The whole story of that old incident. I gave this hidden weapon to your master. I told you at the time that I wasn’t afraid of showing it to others, and no one could guess what it was, so there was no need to keep it a secret.”

"Master, let me tell you the secret of this unique hidden weapon. If my revolving awl hits the vital point, the silver poison will immediately soak into the internal organs, and the person will die soon. But if the vital point is not hit, , the silver poison only penetrates into the skin, and will only make the injured person paralyzed and fall down. If the injured person knows the inside story, he can cut out the silver pieces before midnight on the night of the injury, and his life will be safe."

"Although my rotary cone was gouged out, because I used the internal force mechanism on the silver piece, the silver poison was stained with blood and could not be removed. It would still penetrate into the skin. This scar of gouging out flesh and blood will never heal for the rest of my life. I remember very clearly that the dark ghost who harmed me back then was hit in the face by my turning cone. He did know how to dig out my unique hidden weapon. If he had survived after escaping, he would have left a piece on one side of his cheek. The dark red mark the size of a fingernail is similar in shape to my rotary awl."

"So, for more than half a year, I have been searching everywhere for people with dark red marks on their faces. With my ability to escape from the earth, I can go in and check everywhere. There are such obvious marks on the face of that dark ghost. , it’s impossible to cover your face all the time, right? Logically speaking, it’s impossible to avoid my tracking.”

Xue Yi listened, but her expression seemed to be a little distracted, and she thought thoughtfully: "In this case, Grandpa, you and my master must have gotten along before... Then she would have the opportunity to persuade you to retire. My master must not know, There is also a special silver poison on the revolving cone, and I have never seen a dark red mark on my master's arm. Grandpa, if my master is hit by your revolving cone, he will be in a coma for a day and a night. It must be you who detoxified her silver. She could wake up only after she was poisoned. My master must have thought that her coma was caused by the serious injury from the dark ghost's palm. You took her to escape and took care of her day and night. Compared with accidentally hurting her arm, you saved her. Only after you have paid more can you insist, saying that I, Tianyi Sect, owe you a debt, right?"
