The witch looks at her moves

Chapter 27 Massacre
  Qi Xia died in front of Su Zhen.

As a medicine dispenser, you must first taste the prepared medicine. She died from the poison after tasting the medicine.

Su Zhen was puzzled.

'Poisoned? Who gave the poison? '

Su Zhen didn't have poison, and Qi Xia wouldn't kill herself. The person who poisoned her could only be...

Su Zhen looked at Nan Chang in disbelief.

Nan Chang crawled to the side of Qi Xia's body on her hands and knees, wanting to hold the girl's face, but Jing Xue severely stopped her. She knelt down and sat aside blankly. After her shoulders twitched a few times, she suppressed the sobs in her chest. The sound escaped, and the tears flowed uncontrollably.

She cried sadly, and her dejected look didn't seem to be fake.

Along the way, Su Zhen believed that Nan Chang was a good person. She got along well with Qi Xia and had no reason to harm her.

Besides, where did Nan Shang get the poison?
  The green-haired old demon and Lu Qi are both cruel and suspicious. If she really harbored poison, she should have been discovered long ago. How could she hide it until today?

The incident happened so suddenly that Su Zhen couldn't think about it carefully.

"Which one of you wants to harm Mr. Lu Qi?" Jing Xue asked again, her voice even colder, as if she was about to draw a knife to kill at any time.

"I didn't poison you!"

Nan Chang denied it with all his strength, with indescribable panic in his eyes, "How could I poison Qi Xia? We are both apprentices of Fairy Lu Qi, fellow disciples and sisters. We are about to go through many tribulations to reach the Immortal Palace. How could I do this? Why do you want to kill your fellow disciples and push yourself into a pit of fire?!"

Jing Xue thought what she said made sense, so she took out the long knife from her waist and slowly put it on Su Zhen's shoulder.

The cold light of the blade shone brightly on the young man's neck.

"What about you?" she asked.

The murderous intention made Su Zhen's hair stand on end. He had no clue in his heart. The only thing he could do was to prove his innocence:

"I know nothing about medicinal materials, let alone how to prepare highly toxic poisons. What's more, the younger generation already knows that the person who prescribes the medicine must test the medicine first. If I really have the intention to poison the fairy, I will never use this method. Although I am related to Qi Xia has some quarrels, but there is absolutely no hatred. If I use this strategy to harm her, then... that would be too childish, and this junior will not be so stupid."

"is it?"

Jing Xue said lightly: "If it's not you, who else could it be? Do you think this was done by a killer?"

"Seniors have followed Fairy Lu for many years. They are loyal and will never betray. What's more, if the seniors really have hatred for Fairy Lu Qi, they can kill the fairy with just one knife. Why bother? I don't dare to go to such trouble. I doubt the loyalty of my senior." Su Zhen objected immediately with a sincere tone.

Jing Xue glanced at Nan Chang, who responded belatedly, "The same goes for disciples. They will never question the loyalty of seniors."

Through the mask, Su Zhen couldn't see Jing Xue's face clearly, but he could feel the killer's smile, a sinister smile, like a mockery.

"If you really think that this bowl of poison can kill Fairy Lu Qi, then you are really stupid. If nothing else, the pills you plundered from the old guy from Qinglu Palace are better than the ones you boiled. The medicinal herbs are ten times and a hundred times more powerful.

You must understand that your names are not even written into the Disciple Name Policy of Jiu Miao Palace, and the really important things will not be handed over to you at all. You are asked to be responsible for decoction, not to cure the fairy, but just to test you. of loyalty. "

Jing Xue's tone revealed deep disappointment, and the fire in her eyes turned cold, "You smart betrayer, don't think you can escape."

Without additional punishment, Jing Xue left, leaving only two dull people and a cold female corpse.

The fire in which the decoction was made was extinguished, and its ashes were so cold that one could not imagine that it had been a blazing fire in life.

Su Zhen and Nan Chang didn't speak for a long time.

for a long time.

"It's not me." Nan Chang said softly.

Su Zhen hummed and asked, "Then do you think it's me?"

"No." Nan Chang shook his head.

"Why?" Su Zhen asked.

"Intuition, I always thought you were a good girl."

Nan Chang suddenly felt scared, and her eyes widened: "Yu Yue, you couldn't lie to me, could you?"

Su Zhen shook his head gently.

Although Qi Xia died, the poison was still spreading in her body. After a while, the girl's body was covered with fine purple marks, and her eyes that refused to close were completely dilated, and her pupils were like rotten grapes.

Qi Xia escaped the plague of strange insects, but died on the way to Jiu Miao Immortal Palace, and all her longings for cultivating immortals became a dream.

Nan Chang turned her head away, not daring to look at the body. She asked, "Yu Yue, did you hear anything strange last night?"

"No." Su Zhen shook his head.

"Not at all?"

Nan Shang regained her composure and said, "We need to find out the truth."

"I also want to find the murderer, but I really didn't hear anything." Su Zhen was not in this world at all last night.

"Yes, in this world, ordinary people cannot stay awake at night, except..." Nan Chang paused.

"Except for what?" Su Zhen frowned.

"Except for monsters." Nan Chang said slowly.

Time seemed to be frozen, and their pupils shrank at the same time.

monster?

Su Zhen's eyes jumped over Nan Chang's head, just in time to see the bright, white worm's nest-like luminous sphere.

When Su Zhen was a child, he would always be afraid of snakes falling from the leaves and hitting him on the head when he walked through the woods. Now, he also had a similar premonition: Laojun is a nest for monsters, and there is always a majestic place hanging from the ceiling. A group of snakes will fall on the sun.

Feng Hua said that those who can see Bai Laojun are monsters except Taisha Shen.

Will Yu Yue be a monster?

This question lingered in his mind, but he never asked Yu Yue. It is conceivable that Yu Yue's answer to him must be "It's your size, godmother, I am a beautiful girl."

So, is it possible that Yu Yue poisoned her?
  He didn't communicate much with Yu Yue, and his understanding of her was even pitiful.

If it was really her...

"Yu Yue!"

Nan Shang suddenly spoke.

Su Zhen was horrified, tried her best to restrain her expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Did we think of getting together?" Nan Shang asked.

Su Zhen had no idea what Nan Chang was thinking, but he still looked at Nan Chang with firm eyes and encouraged her to continue talking.

Nan Chang's eyes lit up, and she felt that she had found the truth: "We have indeed seen a monster along the way, and we have only seen that monster!"

Su Zhen immediately understood what she was talking about.

The two looked at each other and blurted out at the same time: "Three-eyed Gu body boy!"

In that battle, the great monk died, Feng Hua and the old green-haired demon were defeated and captured, but the three-eyed Gu body boy managed to escape.

Could it be that the three-eyed Gu body boy has been following the convoy closely. He was seriously injured and hated Lu Qi deeply, but he was also afraid of Jing Xue and other killers, so he chose to tamper with the medicine. Qi Xia was not poisoned. Poison, but poison.

With this thought, Su Zhen suddenly became enlightened.

The white old gentleman interfered with his judgment, and he almost forgot about this real monster.

After suddenly enlightening, a chill ran down his back - could it be that somewhere unseen along the way, the boy covered in worms was quietly sizing them up?

"If monsters collude to cause chaos at night, wouldn't it be extremely difficult to deal with?" Su Zhen asked.

"Indeed, that's why monks must kill monsters when they encounter them! The big move to the south courtyard is to be possessed by demons. The Twelve Evil Arhats may not be the biggest threat. The collapse of the demon-suppressing tower and the influx of countless monsters into the world are the real problems. Now, as long as it goes dark, cultivators They will always stay within the sect and rarely go outside."

Nan Chang continued to explain: "As long as it is a slightly larger sect, there will usually be a 'golden elixir'. The golden elixir inherits the grace of the old master during the day and shines on the sect at night. As long as there is the protection of the golden elixir, the monks can You can also fight with all your strength, and it will be difficult for monsters to invade.”

Nan Chang said patiently, frowned again, and said to himself: "It's strange, it's been a few months, but I haven't heard much news about monsters causing chaos in groups. These thousands of It’s really hard to figure out how the monsters and monsters just disappeared out of thin air.”

As he spoke, Qi Xia's body had completely decomposed, and the human shape was indistinguishable, leaving only pus flowing out.

When Jing Xue left and returned, Nan Chang told the killer this conjecture. Her conjecture was not vigilant, but ridiculed:

"You guys have been discussing it for so long and you just made up such a ridiculous reason? Do you think that Gu boy can outrun the headless horse?"

"Maybe it's a voodoo. He has bewitched us early. The voodoo could be hidden anywhere!" Nan Chang argued with reason.

"insanity?"

Jing Xue pinched her chin and said with great interest: "How much do you know about Gu, and you dare to make such a judgment?"

"Is it impossible?" Nan Shang asked.

"The poisons in the world are all kinds of weird, and it's hard to tell the difference between gods and gods. If the boy with the ghost body has not lost his strength, it is possible for him to fish in troubled waters, but he is too weak now and is not worth mentioning at all. Put away your unnecessary worries." Jing Xue said.

Nan Chang wanted to say something more, but Jing Xue coldly interrupted: "If you continue to quibble, I will treat you as a murderer trying to confuse the public."

Nan Shang was speechless.

This man was careless and arrogant, very different from the calm and restrained killer she imagined.

"She's going to regret it."

After Jing Xue walked away, Nan Chang spoke again. Her red lips twitched and she murmured in a daze: "She is too stupid. The Gu insects can't kill them all. Without the protection of Fairy Lu Qi, everyone will die."

The killer didn't take it seriously and drove back on the road.

They are not in a hurry to find out the truth. As long as they return to Jiu Miao Palace and undergo severe torture, the truth will come to light. What's more, the only one who died was an unnamed disciple.

The headless horse ran at full speed, and a large amount of thick fog poured out from the broken neck, like a black chimney, which made people cry.

After running wildly across an entire plain, the unexcavated mountains rose up again, and the mortal buildings and dynasties disappeared.

Jiu Miao Palace is getting closer and closer.

Su Zhen's hope became increasingly slim.

He suddenly realized that he had been subconsciously comparing these experiences to a real game, but when playing a game, who could clear the level in one life on the first try? What's more, it's a game that cannot be saved or loaded.

When Su Zhen was at his most desperate, an accident that no one expected happened.

The cause of the incident was a heavy snowfall.

After entering the mountains, the clear sky suddenly turned gloomy, and the coldness boiled in the low clouds for a while, and instantly turned into falling snowflakes.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, with no intention of stopping, and soon it became a disaster. The leaderless horse lost its direction in the snow, hesitated, and could not be driven away.

"It doesn't even have eyes, so it can get lost?" Su Zhen was surprised.

"It is a tool made by immortals, not a real foal. Once the snow falls heavily, the sky and the earth will become white, the mountain shape will be unrecognizable, and the originally planned route will become blurred." Nan Shang said.

As a last resort, they had to stop and rest.

The carriage that Su Zhen and Nan Chang were in had long been damaged. They had been exposed to the ice and snow for a long time and were shivering from the cold.

The old green-haired demon in the iron cage kept his eyes closed, seemingly disheartened, and turned a blind eye to the snowflakes dyeing his mane white.

The purple-robed female assassin sat on horseback holding a knife, looking at the snow that covered the sky, and said: "The Jiu Miao Immortal Palace is behind these mountains, only a day's journey away. One day, the Immortal Palace will The name of the palace will shock the world, especially those four divine palaces."

When she said this, the female killer was like a sharp sword. Su Zhen felt that there was something different about her, but couldn't tell what was different.

Jing Xue was watching the snow with her sword in hand, when the howling of wolves sounded in the forest.

The howling of wolves in the barren mountains can always arouse people's fear, but to the killer, it is a provocation. After Jing Xue said, "It's really noisy," she jumped off the horse into the forest.

The knife was unsheathed in mid-air, and the woman's light body was like a kite plundering.

After a while, the wolf's howl became shrill. When Jing Xue returned, her long knife was stained with blood. She was holding a white wolf that looked bigger than her in her left hand. The white wolf's neck had been cut off and it was already dead.

She skillfully lit a fire, skinned the wolf, cut off the meat, rubbed it with spices, and grilled it on the tip of a knife.

Su Zhen and Nan Chang were so hungry that they couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they smelled the aroma of the sizzling meat.

"Come and eat."

Jing Xue glanced at the two of them and said indifferently: "Even if there is a murderer among you who killed Qi Xia, he should be kept in the Immortal Palace for trial. I will not let the murderer starve to death on the road."

Su Zhen and Nan Chang looked at each other.

"Oh, are you afraid that there is poison in this meat?" Jing Xue said with great interest.

"Not afraid."

Nan Chang jumped out of the carriage, "Senior, it's okay to eat it. What should I be afraid of?"

She was so hungry that her steps were frivolous. At first, she took small bites out of consideration for her appearance. Soon, she started devouring the food without fear of being burned, leaving her dignified and beautiful appearance behind.

Su Zhen's current body doesn't have much appetite, and she feels full after just a few bites.

"The first time I went to Jiu Miao Immortal Palace, I took this road. It rained heavily that day. After a lot of hardships, I finally arrived at the gate of the Immortal Palace with my benefactor's relics. At that moment, I felt like I was in a fairyland. , I just feel that all the hardships along the way are so worth it, and I will definitely shine in the future!"

Jing Xue suddenly spoke, and Su Zhen and Nan Chang were caught off guard. They never expected that the killer wanted to talk to them.

"What happened next?" Su Zhen answered.

"Later on, I experienced a lot of unexpected things. From the beginning, I was bullied by my classmates because of my identity. When I was nine years old, I was almost raped by my mentor. When I was eleven years old, I offended a senior sister and was almost raped. I was killed and dumped. In the same year, I was mistaken for a shaman and sent to the old craftsman's office. Before entering the mountain gate of the old craftsman's office, I was lucky enough to be saved by my uncle who came over. It was a critical moment... …

Uncle Master accepted me as his personal successor and promised that I would be safe for the next five years. After five years, I will continue to live in Jiu Miao Immortal Palace as his Ding Lu. Of course, I will definitely have a prestigious position on the surface. "

Jing Xue got the wine from somewhere. She poured it and drank it herself, saying, "This is just the tip of the iceberg. If we talk about it seriously, it would take three days and three nights to finish it."

Nan Chang was stunned. She forgot her dislike of the killer and just asked: "Jiu Miao Palace is an immortal palace. Is the same true for an immortal palace...?"

"What's the difference? Those who are poor and weak will suffer wherever they go, and they will suffer even more in the Immortal Sect." Jing Xue sneered.

"Then do you hate Immortal Palace?" Nan Chang asked softly.

"Don't hate."

Jing Xue said calmly: "Cultivation is the most beautiful thing in the world."

"good?"

"Of course, if I hadn't practiced cultivation, I would have been an old woman now. My hair and teeth have fallen out, my face is covered with wrinkles and spots, I can't see clearly, and I can't even take care of myself. It would be better to die early than to live like that." Practice has changed me.”

The killer under the mask is smiling: "It has transformed me and made me say goodbye to my mediocre life. How can I hate it?"

Nan Shang remained silent.

Unexpectedly, this young female killer is already a centenarian.

After a long silence, Nan Chang spoke cautiously. She looked as reserved as if she were holding a priceless piece of lacquerware: "Can you live forever if you practice cultivation?"

"Immortality?"

Jing Xue couldn't help but laugh, "Almost all new disciples ask this question, and you are no exception."

Nan Chang blushed a little, but she did not change her words and still looked forward to the answer.

"Ordinary monks can live for two hundred years, and more powerful ones can only live for about three hundred years. More powerful immortals may have secret methods to extend their lives, but the backlash is huge, and they can never be called immortals." Jing Xueleng coldly.

"Can't you live forever?"

Nan Chang was disappointed. She had never seen the longevity technique in Liumen in the past, so she thought her vision was low. She didn't expect that Jiu Miao Palace was helpless.

"What good is immortality?" Jing Xue said.

"Eternal life means infinite life, and what unlimited life brings is infinite splendor and possibility." Nan Chang said firmly.

"The wonderful things in the world come from preciousness. When life is no longer precious, it will naturally lose its wonderfulness." Jing Xue said.

The words were concise and concise. Nan Chang understood it, but did not accept it. She said: "You are not immortal, how can you guess the pain and joy of immortality?"

"No need to guess."

Jing Xue said calmly: "Of course a long life will bring infinite splendor, but when things reach their extreme, they will inevitably move to their opposite. After splendor, there will be an even longer emptiness, which cannot be filled even by the most extreme pain. Empty. This is true of everything in the world, except for eternal life.”

"It's not up to you to decide whether it's empty or not!"

Nan Chang became rarely angry: "If it's not for immortality, then what's the point of practicing?"

"I think it's very interesting to spend your limited life doing something grand and magnificent." Jing Xue said slowly.

Nan Chang was speechless. In the end, she just snorted coldly and said, "If you don't agree with each other, don't conspire against each other."

Su Zhen listened to their argument carefully, but had no more ideas. Now that he couldn't even control his own life, how could he have time to think about this?

The flames roasting the wolf meat were burning so brightly that all the snowflakes flying up to it were swallowed up, but it was so bright that it tempted all living beings to come closer.

Jing Xue cut off two pieces of meat, placed them on an iron plate, and asked Nan Chang to bring them to the two male assassins guarding Lu Qi in the chariot.

Nan Shang took the order.

Jing Xue seemed to be bothered by Cai Cai's argument, so she changed her mind, handed the iron plate to Su Zhen, and said, "I believe in your loyalty more than hers."

Nan Chang snorted, "It's up to you."

Su Zhen silently took the iron plate and walked towards the chariot carriage with the heavy piece of roasted wolf meat.

The snow-covered chariot is all jade-white, and the evil-proof objects on its four corners sing in the wind.

The young man opened the heavy curtains and felt as if he had entered an isolated world.

"Junior, come here..."

As soon as Su Zhen opened his mouth, his words were blocked by the smell of blood that hit his nostrils.

The chariot that was supposed to be spotless was filled with blood.

The blood comes from the killer.

Those two male killers guarding Lu Qi!
  The killer in front of him was pierced through the chest with a knife. The tip of the knife cracked from the back of his clothes and he was bleeding. However, his knife also hit another person. The knife was so powerful and heavy that it almost cut off the opponent's shoulder, but it also failed. Therefore, it got stuck in the bone, and the opponent held the back of the knife with his backhand, making it difficult to pull it out.

The two of them were vomiting blood, both of them were dying.

The chariot blocked all sounds, and the weak calls for help could not be heard outside.

Their vitality has declined, and any rash action may lead to their death.

Behind the blood-spattered curtain, Lu Qi lost her usual demeanor. The folded hands on her lower abdomen had been separated. Her beautiful black silk hair was messy and falling, and her snow-white skirt was half-covered. Her delicate jade skin was vaguely visible, and her graceful and undulating body was stained with dye. The blood is like a layer of plum petals.

Feng Hua knelt aside with blood on her face and watched everything with cold eyes.

"Kill him quickly!"

The killer in front noticed Su Zhen's arrival, and he mobilized all his strength to shout: "This person took advantage of my rest and tried to molest Fairy Lu Qi. He was caught in the act. When he saw the scandal was leaked, he was so angry that he wanted to kill me to silence me! Go and kill this white-eyed wolf!"

　Thanks to the young boy for the 2100 starting coins, and thanks to Sir Mapello for the 1000 starting coins~
