Ten states

When Luo Yuanquan walked into a shadow guard's secret base in Xuzhou following Nangong Wuji's footsteps, seeing the respectful and rigorous gazes of the straight guards standing around him, he felt a little weird.

Of course he knew that those eyes were not on him, but on Nangong Wuji beside him.The commander of the Shadow Guard was not tall, he could even be considered short, but no matter how tall a person stood in front of him, he could only look up.The awe in the eyes of the guards and subordinates around him was not just because of his status, but because of the demeanor and demeanor he had cultivated over decades of secretly ruling the world.Like Luo Yuanquan, even bathing in such a breath next to him like this is an honor that many people dream of.

But Luo Yuanquan didn't feel that way himself, so he felt a little weird.Although the number of these guards is small, the lean and powerful aura exuded by each of them, as well as the self-discipline and forbearance that have been cultivated in the subconscious, all show that they are by no means ordinary masters of the rivers and lakes, but members of a large and strict secret organization. one molecule.These are all shadow guards, even if they are not official shadow shirt guards, they can still be regarded as Tian Family Eagle Dogs.It's just that such a group of guards and subordinates are not capable or dared to be used by any sect in the Jianghu.And this place seems to be just the house of an ordinary rich family, the compactness, meticulousness and luxury inside are also far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Just two months ago, he was the little leader of a third-rate gang in a small place, a small character who was completely unrecognizable in the arena, and those brothers and sisters from famous families didn't even bother to look at him, but now he is following in the world Behind one of the most powerful people, enjoying the salute of those shadow guards together - even if it is just behind, Nangong Wuji's behind is not easy for anyone to follow, not to mention Nangong Wuji turning his head from time to time, Speak to him in a fairly peaceful tone.That's not deliberate peace and equality. With Nangong Wuji's identity, he doesn't need to deliberately be polite to anyone except the emperor, and the majestic aura that radiates from him all the time also shows that he really doesn't have any pretensions.That kind of peace and equality comes from the heart.

Luo Yuanquan didn't know why this happened.All of this seems to have originated from the serious injury suffered in Jingzhou Shenji Hall two months ago, and then it turned into this inexplicably.But the strangest thing is that while he himself has a sense of unreality like an illusion, he is at ease with this huge change.No matter how polite Nangong Wuji was to him.Say something to him that he can't quite understand, and while he thinks it's unbelievable intellectually, at the same time, he feels that there is nothing too surprising, as if everything is justified.

This situation made him feel very strange, but at the same time, he was a little faintly afraid.This feeling is a bit like a stranger in my body is unknowingly replacing me.

Nangong Wuji stopped in front of him, and Luo Yuanquan also stopped.It looks like the entrance of a dungeon. Seeing that there are no guards around, the shadow guards who have been following them have also retreated. It seems that there are some amazing secrets buried in this dungeon that they do not want to be known to others. Luo Yuanquan endured He couldn't stop asking: "Master Nangong. You said that you want me to meet a very important person. Is it here?"

"Yes. It's here." Nangong Wuji nodded.

Looking at the entrance of the dungeon, which was obviously a stone gate and many traps that were added later, Luo Yuanquan hesitated: "...then...can Mr. Nangong tell me first, who is this person? Does it matter?"

"Of course it has something to do with it, it's still a big deal." Nangong Wuji smiled. "I know you have a lot of puzzles. There are also many things you want to ask. But I can only say that when you see this person and know your past from him, all the questions will naturally be understood. So You don't have to ask me."

"My past..." Luo Yuanquan suddenly felt a faint fear in his heart.Of course, like everyone who has amnesia, he is full of curiosity about his past that he can't remember at all, his life experience, parents, etc... But all kinds of inexplicable changes in the past two months.It made him feel that there seemed to be some huge secret buried in the past. Once it was revealed, his entire previous world would be shattered by this secret.

He still wanted to say something, but Nangong Wuji had already pushed open the stone door, and a strange smell like corpse stink came from the dark underground.

Who would live in a cellar like this?Or locked up here?Luo Yuanquan felt even more uneasy, but Nangong Wuji had already walked in.After thinking about it, he could only follow closely.

"Today I brought a guest, you must have no idea who he is..." Nangong Wuji's voice echoed in the vast underground space, and it could be heard from his voice that he was very excited. It can even be said to be slightly excited.

This is a very large basement, and special oil lamps are lit on the surrounding walls.It's not like a prison.Just walking into the dim Luo Yuanyuan, he could only vaguely see the environment clearly, and then saw Nangong Wuji's voice, a huge black shadow flew over with a strong corpse smell.

Nangong Wuji stretched out his hand, and this flying black figure stopped in mid-air just a few meters away from them.At this time, Luo Yuanquan's eyes also slightly adapted to the darkness, and he could see clearly that the shadow was a naked person with an extremely strange shape.This person has several huge scars on his body, and it is extremely fat. It looks like a fat puppet that has been torn up and hastily sewn together. A corpse with a human hand in its mouth, a layer of black and blue that only corpses have, a expressionless face, and lifeless eyes, even if it is a zombie that has turned into a dead body You're welcome.

"This is..." Luo Yuanquan asked with a strange expression.He really couldn't imagine that such a thing that looked more like a monster than a person would have anything to do with him.

Nangong Wuji didn't answer him, but frowned slightly and closed his eyes, as if he was listening carefully to the movement in the basement, and then the expression on his face turned into shock and anger. Pinch, the obese monster who looked like a corpse in mid-air was like a pile of thin dough that was suddenly stepped on, and exploded into a pool of completely shapeless mud with a puff.

This was just a subconscious movement of Nangong Wuji, he didn't even look at the pile of meat paste, but stared and shouted angrily: "Come here!"

People will come right away.Although the people outside did not approach, they kept paying attention to this place. Immediately after hearing Nangong Wuji's angry shout, two men in black ran in at a very fast speed.

"Where's the prisoner here?" Nangong Wuji's angry voice shook the entire basement slightly, and Luo Yuanquan was also dizzy.Couldn't help covering his ears.Just listening to this sound, it seems that a giant of hundreds of feet is venting its anger to smash the whole place into powder. It is hard to imagine that Nangong Wuji's somewhat short body can make such a loud and huge sound.

"My lord, the people here are still here this morning. We also brought in water...and we know that your lord is coming today, and the surrounding security is twice as strong as before. I really don't know why the people here just disappeared. Understand."

Hearing the terrified but not flustered answer of his subordinates, the anger on Nangong Wuji's face quickly calmed down. He thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Where is Shui Yuzhu? Has the Shui Yuzhu been here for more than a month?" ?”

"Master Water Patrol came once a month ago, but she left after staying for two days, and she never told anyone where she went..."

Nangong Wuji stopped talking, his eyes narrowed slightly as if lost in thought.No one dared to bother, after a few breaths.The entire basement began to tremble slightly, as if being held by an invisible giant and shaking slightly, and then all the sundries piled up on the ground slowly floated in mid-air, all dark corners, all hidden things Exposure to dim lighting.

click.A bunch of organs that seemed to be unfinished were squeezed into a mass of pulpy garbage by an invisible force in mid-air.After touching it, several food boxes and water cups that seemed to be used by people were also crushed to pieces. Nangong Wuji's eyes swept over these rags one by one, as if he could see some secrets that others could not see through these things.Finally, after more than a dozen objects of various sizes and sizes were crushed and destroyed, he let out a sigh of relief. All the floating things fell to the ground at once, making a harsh sound in the ground.

"Okay, okay, okay, you're promising, you're really promising, even I dare to lie, it's really a good show..." Nangong Wuji's voice seemed to have calmed down.But it only takes a little careful experience to feel the great anger buried underneath. "A daring woman who doesn't know the depth and depth just happens to meet a madman who is at the end of his life. I really lost my sight."

"The people here have quietly escaped as early as January. Although it's not your fault, it's negligence after all. You all have suicide notes left in the reserve camp, right?"

The bodies of the two half-kneeling men in black shook, and they looked at each other in disbelief.Looking at Nangong Wuji again: "My lord, we obviously see it every day..."

Two puffs, like the sound of a leather bag full of gas being punctured. In the last blink of an eye, they were still strong and powerful, as if they were two men in black made of iron, but in the next blink of an eye, they turned into two lumps of bones, internal organs, flesh and blood. The mud mixed with hair seemed to be the tens of thousands of kilograms of force from all directions that crushed the two people thousands of times in the blink of an eye, and this force was seamless, and the two people were connected. Not a single trace of blood sputtered out, and everything was condensed and deformed in place like that.Only two strands of black aura rose slowly from the two piles of flesh and blood, and then they were torn into pieces by an unknown huge force and dissipated.

"...Sure enough, I have fallen under the enchantment spell a long time ago. What I see and hear are hallucinations. I was too careless... A lunatic is a lunatic after all, and it cannot be treated with common sense..." Nangong Wuji put his hands behind his back , looking at the two destroyed black air, muttered to himself, with both anger and deep reflection in his expression. "...Or in such a situation, there is actually a way out... What could it be?"

Luo Yuanquan on the side was already dumbfounded by all this.Over the past few days, he has gradually gotten used to Nangong Wuji's imposing manner, but it was not until this moment that he most intuitively felt the power, aura, and strength of this Shadow Guard Commander, that he realized that Nangong Wuji's exuding power What comes out is as powerful as a giant, and the strong sense of presence is not "like", but it is.The power contained in this somewhat short body has simply surpassed the imagination of ordinary people.He didn't feel any vigor or the flow of stellar energy in his body, but for some reason he knew very well that this god-like ability was not the result of any Taoism or Taoism, but an unbelievably thick internal force , and exquisitely to the unimaginable level of control.

"Master Luo, let's go quickly." Nangong Wuji turned around suddenly, and walked out without looking at the mess in the dungeon again.

Luo Yuanquan hurriedly followed.Asked: "Where are you going?"

"Go find that person. We must find him quickly." Nangong Wuji kept on stepping, and Luo Yuanquan was already trotting to keep up.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Find the person you should be looking for...Although I don't know what that person is going to do, but we must find him as soon as possible, we must find him as soon as possible...Otherwise..."

Nangong Wuji's voice became deeper and deeper.His face became more and more gloomy.I don't know if it's because the fire is shaking and I can't see clearly, or because I am too awed by such a power. Luo Yuanquan felt that Nangong Wuji, who was meditating, was getting younger and younger.Although he didn't look old at first, some of the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, the skin on his face, etc. still look like a middle-aged person, but at this moment, it seems that those wrinkles are slowly calming down and disappearing, and his skin is slowly becoming smoother. The exposed muscles on the top seem to be more elastic, and they seem to be slowly becoming younger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Suddenly, Nangong Wuji, who was walking quickly, was shocked, as if he had also sensed something amiss.He stood still, closed his eyes, took a deep breath and let it out slowly. At the same time, he slowly recited in his mouth: "...From the emperor to the common people, all of them are based on self-cultivation. The original chaos and the last rule are not. The other What is thick is thin and what is thin is thick, there is no such thing. This is called knowing the foundation. This is called knowing the ultimate..."

These words are not something profound and mysterious, not only Luo Yuanquan knows what it is, but almost all scholars in the world know it.This is a passage about self-cultivation in the Confucian classics, but under such circumstances, it seems extremely strange for someone like Nangong Wuji to recite it.Nangong Wuji's voice when he recited these words was clear and bright, every word and every word was like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening.With these words, the abnormalities on his face and body also disappeared.Luo Yuanquan rubbed his eyes, as if everything just now was an illusion, and Nangong Wuji in front of him still looked like that majestic middle-aged man.

Nangong Wuji glanced at Luo Yuanquan, as if he also knew the vision that happened to him just now, and he didn't explain it.Stepping forward, he continued to walk outside, and just said: "Don't ask, and don't ask. When you find that person, all doubts will be solved."

Just as he walked out of the dungeon with Luo Yuanquan, Nangong Wuji turned around and slapped the thick stone door with his palm.Then there was a dull bang like a sky crashing, the ground shook violently as if being hit by a hill from outside the sky, the stone gate was completely shattered and collapsed, completely blocking the entrance, and at the same time, the A large area of ​​the ground also collapsed, and the entire dungeon was shattered by this palm.

Dozens of figures flew towards here, and the other guards and shadow guards here hurried over when they heard the loud noise.They only saw Nangong Wuji's short body exuding the aura and oppressiveness of a prehistoric giant on a piece of shattered ruins, and his voice also rang out with the same force: "Send the order down!" , all current operations are terminated, and all forces are concentrated to search for the defected water patrol and the criminals who were imprisoned here, and they must be captured alive."

Near the junction of Jingzhou and Yuzhou, on an inaccessible country road, Shui Yuzhu was pushing an old wheelbarrow towards the west.

Naturally, Shui Yuzhu at this moment is no longer the charming and overwhelming beauty she was in Xuzhou back then. Her skin is rough, her hair is brown, and the corners of her eyes are full of wrinkles. She looks like an ordinary middle-aged peasant woman. The speed of the car was slightly faster, almost catching up with the fast walking of ordinary people, other than that, no one could see anything unusual.

"Little beauty, you only pick up some trails to walk, and you still dawdle like this, when will you get there?" In the deserted wilderness, it was obviously only Shui Yuzhu, but suddenly there was another voice sounded.The voice was soft and sweet, and it sounded okay at first, but it made people feel unspeakably disgusting in detail.

The sound came from the wheelbarrow that Shui Yuzhu was pushing, but the wheelbarrow was not big, and there was no one on it. There was only a small old rattan box, but even a ten-year-old child could barely fit in this rattan box. , but the speaker seemed to be hiding in the rattan box and seemed to be quite leisurely.

"Even if it's not fast, at least it's safer. No matter how fast you go. If you leak your whereabouts, you don't have to go anywhere." Shui Yuzhu's voice did not hide the exhaustion in it, as if she was really tortured by life. A fun-loving middle-aged village woman.

"Hee hee hee hee, you can only deceive those ordinary Jianghu people. If Nangong Wuji finds out that we are missing. Send a good player from the shadow guards to track him down, or even come here in person. Do you think you Can a little trick fool me around?" The voice in the rattan box laughed heartlessly, as if it had nothing to do with me. "Although you have found out that Nangong Wuji has important matters in Jingzhou and will go back soon, what kind of important matters do you think will delay him? Your Lord Nangong has other important matters to attend to. On this seat."

This is indeed true.Shui Yuzhu knew very well what kind of talents there were in the shadow guards, and what kind of means Nangong Wuji had.Her concealment along the way can only be so that she does not attract attention until she is discovered.She pondered for a moment, then sighed and said, "...What does the master think?"

"Hahahaha, I said that these little tricks are almost done by this time. It's better to hurry, as long as my plan can be fully realized. At that time, I will be free and happy, and you will get the rest of my ghost curse." , and the Heart Sutra of Ultimate Bliss you have cultivated, it will be of great use no matter where you go to choose another enlightened master, so why worry about Nangong Wuji?"

The voice in the rattan box did not bring Shui Yuzhu any relief.Instead, the corners of her eyes twitched, and she murmured to herself: "... Mingzhu... what can catch up with Master Wuji..."

"Hee hee hee...do you regret it? Little beauty? Didn't you swear to me at the time that this must be a win-win situation?"

Shui Yuzhu showed deep remorse in his confusion, and murmured: "...I just... I just want to be more self-protective in the future... I just want to know more A bit of a secret... I didn't know you would be..."

"Did you have the confidence to control me at the beginning? Did you have confidence in your beauty and bliss? Hahahaha...beauty, you are so cute. Why is the status quo kept secret? If it weren’t for his help, how could I be like this now? Don’t worry. Little beauty, as long as I can really get my wish, you can combine the Ghost Heart Mantra and the Sutra of Ultimate Bliss, not only can you No longer under the restraint of this seat, and no one dares to look down on you. Nangong Wuji not only dare not punish you, but most likely will use you in the future. Even the general... Hee hee hee, the general won't care about you, but Yuan Shunyi will definitely give you favor. After all, she is the head teacher of the current Shuntian God Sect from a legal point of view, and all those who practice the five strategies of Shuntian are considered her. Is that thigh thinner than Nangong Wuji's? I also have a few acquaintances in General Yongzhou's mansion. I can also guide you to seek refuge. So now the two of us are on the same rope Grasshoppers, we share glory and humiliation, we help each other, we help each other, we love each other... Hahahahahaha..."

The voice in the rattan box spoke happily, almost insane.Compared with the gloomy and spacious basement a few months ago, the content of these words is undoubtedly much closer to Shui Yuzhu, and the reality is true. Shui Yuzhu believes that she and the person in the rattan box are two people. No matter whether there is any sudden accident among them, the other has only a dead end.A few months ago, it was her goal to be so close to this 'Master', but now she couldn't find even a shred of happiness in her heart.

She admitted that the voice in the rattan box was right, she was too confident in her beauty and her charm to men.She has always firmly believed that for men, there is no weapon more lethal than women.No matter how powerful or powerful a man is, he is still a man after all. As long as he is a man, there is always a piece of life and spirit that needs to be filled by a woman. The only difference is the size of that piece and what it needs. It's just a woman like He Jinzhi, who needs the most outstanding and beautiful woman from the Nangong family to fill in.As for a man like Nangong Wuji who made her unable to find any entry points and signs at all, she believed that he was one of a very few, one in a million, and this should only be temporary. It is also one of the reasons to get benefits and secrets here, and want to find that entry point.

It's just that she never expected this 'Master' to be in such a state.She will never forget the real body of this 'Master Wei' she saw when she was secretly elated.She already has a wide vision, and her knowledge is far more than that of [-]% of the people in the world, but she almost vomited out on the spot at the first sight.And she understood right away.Her most confident weapon is nothing short of a joke to the Master.

But it was too late to regret it at this time. When she let go of her mind and accepted the mature seed of Yuanxin, she embarked on a lonely road that could only go to the end.So now she has no other choice but to continue walking and strive to finish this road well.

While walking, I was in a trance.Shui Yuzhu didn't realize when a few people came out of the bushes not far away, and they came to surround her in a semi-surrounding formation.

She was startled when she first found out, but immediately felt relieved.Just listening to the footsteps of these people walking, she is sure that she will never be a member of the Shadow Guard. Although the Shadow Guard occasionally instigates some Jianghu people to do things secretly, they will only carefully look for suitable and useful tools, not Will grab a handful of trash.

These are seven or eight men with sharp knives and fierce looks on their faces. Regardless of their dressing temperament or the depth of kung fu revealed in their footsteps, they all tell others as if they are sticking labels. Thieves and bandits.But now they looked at Shui Yuzhu as if they were looking at a pile of garbage.

"Why wait for a long time, there is only such a village woman? It seems that today is really unlucky. There is no way, the brothers have all gone out today and walked such a long way. If you don't make a profit, you will be fine." It doesn’t make sense, so let’s just take this and make it. That broken car is still useful for carrying things back home, and it can be sold to the old man at the entrance of our village for a few copper coins.”

"Hehe, it's not bad, after all, I'm still a mother, and everyone can still have fun..."

"You can also look at such things? I don't know how long you have been hungry?"

"Hey, I seemed to vaguely hear who this woman was talking to before? There is no one else here, so she must be a crazy woman..."

"Hee hee hee hee...Look. No matter how careful you are, what's the use of hiding your tracks? Some accidents will come to your door and you won't be able to cover them up. Don't you have time to waste time slowly destroying these people's corpses? On the trace of extinction?"

"Huh? Who's talking?"

A strange-sounding voice suddenly caught up in the chat before the action. Several big men looked around inexplicably, and one with a good ear finally discovered that the voice came from the rattan box on the wheelbarrow. Pointing and shouting: "This box is talking, so there is someone hiding in this box!"

"How can this little box hide people? Did the village girl put a parrot in it? Take it out and see, maybe it's worth two dollars."

Shui Yuzhu, who had always been sullen, sighed.Then he smiled: "That's right, hiding all the way is not an option after all, so let's take this opportunity and hurry."

Shui Yuzhu smiled, although her face still had the appearance of a half-old village girl, but the men around her felt inexplicably that this woman had an indescribably charming aura.Two men immediately stretched out their hands and grabbed her: "This woman still smells a little bit, I take off the clothes first to see if there is any..."

Before their hands arrived, Shui Yuzhu's hand touched them first, and the bodies of the two big men suddenly stiffened, and then began to tremble, their mouths screaming like crowing roosters.

"What's wrong with you two?"

"Be careful! This woman is weird!"

The other big men were not all stupid pigs, they also woke up when they saw this, but it was too late.A few silk threads that were invisible to the naked eye in the rattan box came out lightly like a few living snakes and went towards the big men.One of the silk threads curled up and flicked, and the strong force it brought out directly smashed a big man into pieces of meat flying all over the sky, and one of them threw a few whips in the air, and made a big man neatly The ground was shaved into a living stick, and some of the sticks tied the two big men together and twisted violently like twisted rags. With the crackling sound of the joints, the two people really moved towards a human fleshy stick. The shape changed, and the blood flowed down like a waterfall to form a small pool of blood on the ground. The worst thing was that he was hung in the air, but the silk thread didn't kill him directly, it just opened his mouth to the limit. Then he poured the freshly wrung out human flesh twist into the man's mouth like a meat sausage, the man's mouth and jaw were completely smashed by the flesh and blood poured down by the huge force, and his stomach swelled up rapidly, until In the end, it exploded with a puff like an overwhelmed water bag, and the man's limbs were still twitching and his eyes were still spinning around, unexpectedly he was still alive for a while.

In contrast, the two who were restrained by Shui Yuzhu were very happy.Shui Yuzhu's hand just caressed the acupoints on the two people's bodies that were not acupoints, and then let go, but the two kept shaking like chaff, their expressions seemed to be shocked The extreme seems to be the extreme of joy, and the miserable death of the left and right companions can't separate their attention from that wonderful state.When the two people were shaking and screaming, a mass of wet marks on the trousers spread out at an extremely fast speed, and then quickly drenched, the liquid dripped out into a trickle, and the whole person was slowly dehydrated at a speed visible to the naked eye. Dry and thin, the strange expression on the face and the strange howl in the throat remained the same.When the stomach of the strangled person finally exploded, the two of them had lost a lot of weight and fell into the liquid that flowed out like they were incontinent. Their eyes were so white that they couldn't see the eyeballs at all, but it was as if they had cut their throats. Cackling and shaking like a desperately crowing rooster with the last remaining life.

"Hey hey hey, the little beauty's ecstasy and bliss power is quite solid. With such a heavy hand, it seems that I have been holding back a lot of anger these days."

Shui Yuzhu snorted coldly, and looked at the miserable death conditions of those who died on the silk thread.She did have the intention of venting a little bit, but this person's torture with silk thread was purely habitual and natural.I used to think that the weirdness of this master's personality was the effect of the ghost spell, but after seeing his true face, I realized that if a person becomes like that, it may change whether he practices the ghost spell or not. into this.

"Even a blind man would know that the two of us did this kind of attack. Then let's hurry up, don't let the master's friend wait for a long time."

Shui Yuzhu lifted the rattan box, and the whole person flew out on the path like a wisp of light smoke, and disappeared after a while, leaving only strangely dead corpses on the ground.

ps: It doesn’t feel smooth to read it separately, so I’ll post it as a chapter
