The visitors were none other than Gu Xiao and Tang Jiu. On the way, Gu Xiao saw Tang Jiu looking weird and didn't dare to speak, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity as to how Tang Jiu controlled the remnant soul.
Unexpectedly, after curiously asking questions, not only did he not get an answer, but he received a blank stare from Tang Jiu, which made Gu Xiao so depressed that he had no choice but to shut up and stop talking.
The whole journey was uneventful until the door to the secret room was opened and the sword intent that hit his face made Gu Xiao take a few steps back.
The half-fingered bronze sword in the iron lotus was unable to be used a second time after being used in his own hands that day. When it returned to Tang Jiu's hands, it naturally gained Tang Jiu's sword intention again, and the remnant soul used this half-fingered bronze sword that day. The sword was quite fearful, and now it seemed that Tang Jiu was still relying on the half-fingered copper sword in the Iron Lotus to trap the remaining soul tightly in this secret room.
Taking out the fire in his arms, Gu Xiao blew the flames and followed Tang Jiuyi into the secret room. When he saw the remnant soul trapped by twelve half-fingered copper swords, he couldn't help but feel angry.
As long as it is still there, Brother Chen's revenge has not been avenged. Thinking of Sister Chen's tears when he returned Chen Dongzhi's head that day, and Brother Chen's infant baby, Gu Xiao couldn't help clenching his fists... .
The simmering flames reflected in Gu Xiao's eyes, and Tang Jiu beside him could already feel the young man's anger. Although he was still slightly angry at him for not understanding Jiang Ningxue's feelings along the way, he was still You must follow Jiang Ningxue's instructions...
He raised his hand slightly towards the half-fingered copper swords, and the sword intention came out from Tang Jiu's fingertips. The half-fingered copper swords that trapped the residual soul seemed to be pulled by the sword intention, and then retreated.
Without the threat of the half-fingered copper sword, the remnant soul seemed to have received an amnesty, shouting for the benevolence of the immortal, but was interrupted by Tang Jiu: "In the past few days, have you figured it out? What else was written in that letter?" , to tell you all.”
The remnant soul circled up and spoke bluntly. It seemed to be begging for mercy, but it was a threat, because it knew very well that the only thing that could keep its only remnant soul alive at this moment was the second half of the sentence written in the letter.
"Exalted Immortal, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that I know that this kid only wants to destroy me. If I tell him, my only chance of survival will be at stake... After all, I am the only one who knows the content of the letter."
Remnant Soul's tone was neither yin nor yang, and Gu Xiao could hardly suppress the anger in his heart. He stretched out his hand to touch the Broken Moon Sword Box behind him, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Tang Jiu who was standing beside him.
Looking sideways, he saw Tang Jiu taking out the wine bag, taking a sip of wine, and then slowly said: "I understand, how about we discuss it. How about you tell me the second half of the letter and I let you go."
Hearing the words between Tang Jiu and Remnant Soul, Gu Xiao was filled with anger. How could he let Remnant Soul go so easily because of the hatred of Brother Chen and others? The slightly sneer on the lips and the cold light in the eyes reacted instantly, and he calmed down and watched the changes.
Tang Jiu glanced at the young man beside him. Hearing his words, Ben Yun spoke angrily, but calmed down in an instant. He secretly praised Jiang Ningxue in his heart and said, "This little girl is quite accurate in judging people. Not only does this young man have a good temperament, but also a good martial arts skills." Both his physical condition and his foundation are excellent. When he is angry, he will not be carried away by his anger and act impulsively. He is indeed a rare talent."
Seeing that the young man was stopped by Tang Jiu, Canhun also said that the secret in the letter was also of great use to the man in the hat, so he proudly spoke and went even further: "It's empty talk. If you guys tricked out the second half of the letter, you guys But they won't let me go. By that time, I will call the heavens for help... Otherwise, you go and find a body for me, and treat me like the mist puppet, turning into a human being. By then, we How about we discuss how to tell you the second half of the letter."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Xiao felt that the coldness in Tang Jiu's eyes turned into severe cold. In just a moment, even Gu Xiao felt that it was a bit colder in the secret room, and he hurriedly used his internal strength to resist the coldness emanating from Tang Jiu. meaning.
But Remnant Soul seemed to be unaware of it, and still used the half of the clue to threaten him, and continued to speak without shame: "In this world, except for me, I am afraid that you will never know the remaining half of the sentence, so I advise you two, Instead of wasting time here, why not..."
"Hahaha."
Tang Jiu's laughter interrupted Remnant Soul, which made him feel bad. Feeling guilty, he quickly said: "Why are you laughing? If I don't tell you, then..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Tang Jiu holding the fire fold in Gu Xiao's hand beside him, slightly curling his fingers. The flames that were fluttering on the fire fold were suddenly attracted by the invisible force of Tang Jiu's fingertips, and actually broke away from the fire fold, before he could reach it. When Tang Jiu pointed his fingertips, he saw Tang Jiu's curved fingers flick slightly, and the flames shot out like arrows, shooting straight towards several torches inserted diagonally on the wall of the secret room.
"Bang...bang bang..." Several torches were broken by the flames, and the fire ignited, immediately illuminating the secret room.
But when the fire started, Gu Xiao could not clearly see Tang Jiuyin's expression under the bamboo hat. He could only see an imperceptible smile crossing the lips of the Tang Sect swordsman, but this smile made Gu Xiao shudder.
Remnant Soul also stopped talking, wondering what on earth this man wearing a bamboo hat was going to do...
"I have been studying art in the Tang Sect since I was a child..." Tang Jiuwu said to himself. Under Gu Xiao's puzzled gaze, he untied something from his waist and slowly opened it.
Gu Xiao looked through the firelight and saw that it was a storage bag tied to the waistband like a hidden weapon knife bag. As Tang Jiu slowly unfolded the bag, many hidden weapons and small medicine bottles were revealed one by one. Presented, along with these, Tang Jiu's voice once again reached the ears of Gu Xiao and the remnant soul.
"Studying arts at the age of five, memorizing the Tang Sect Poison Classic by heart at the age of six, and by the age of nine, there is no poison in the world that I don't know..." At this point, Tang Jiu glanced at the small medicine bottles in the bag one by one. He stopped until he reached a red medicine bottle. He gently picked up the medicine bottle and raised his eyes to look at the frightened Remnant Soul.
Gu Xiao frowned beside him, not because he was shocked by Tang Jiu's words, but because he said "Everyone in the world knows the poison". Wasn't it just for that "one moment of pleasure" that he went down the mountain again? Now Tang Jiu Right next to him, if he knows who is the owner of "One Moment of Greed", the matter that the master asked him to investigate will be found out.
Although he was anxious, Gu Xiao's expression remained normal. He knew that Tang Jiu was trying to force the body of Remnant Soul to tell the second half of the clue in the Chongyang pen letter at this time, and it was not the time to ask.
Remnant Soul panicked after hearing Tang Jiu's words. He knew that those half-fingered copper swords were made by the man in front of him who was playing with small medicine bottles and hats. The blood-red medicine bottle looked even more weird, but he still held on. Then he opened his mouth and said: "I am an extraordinary person, how can I be afraid of you, an ordinary person..."
"What a coincidence. When our Tang Sect was first established, there was a person from heaven who came to earth. Although he didn't know the immortals and demons, he arrogantly made my ancestors of the Tang Sect a slave. Naturally, my ancestors of the Tang Sect refused to obey. After a fierce battle for a long time, I finally used the poison that the general had refined and which has not yet been named... My opponent was defeated by the poison and his body was completely destroyed. Three souls and seven souls were left, and he knelt at the feet of my ancestors of the Tang Sect. After bowing his head and admitting defeat, he begged I, the ancestor of the Tang Sect, detoxified him and let him escape. Therefore, the name of this poison is: Immortal Demon Knock..."
Tang Jiu interrupted Remnant Soul's words, stretched out his fingers to pop open the cork of the bottle, took out a snow-colored pill from his waist, handed it to the boy beside him, motioning for him to hold it in his mouth, and then put his palm down, facing the mouth of the bottle. , under the pale gaze of Remnant Soul, a stream of green gas quietly emerged from the bottle mouth and headed towards Tang Jiu's palm.
I don't know whether he was frightened by the story in Tang Jiu's mouth or by the green color slowly clinging to Tang Jiu's palm. The body of Remnant Soul was already panicked and said in panic: "Wait a minute, Immortal, wait a minute, everything can be easily discussed. ..”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Jiu's face turned green. He seemed to be in great pain, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his palms were raised to strike at the body of Remnant Soul.
The green color on his face and palms all retreated as Tang Jiu took out his palms. When the palms came out, there was no sound. Not only could he not feel any ripples of true energy, there was not even a trace of palm wind. Gu Xiao didn't know what the meaning of it was. , can only watch quietly from the side.
"Ah..." While Gu Xiao was still watching the palm, he heard the shrill scream of the remnant soul.
Looking sideways, I saw that the snake-like body of the remnant soul had fallen to the ground. It was probably in extreme pain, and it had already rolled on the ground and twisted its body... In just one breath, it seemed that it could no longer bear the immortal demon. I was tortured by knocking, looking at the open door of the dark room, I wanted to rush out.
Seeing this, Gu Xiao wanted to stop him, but when he was about to move, he saw Tang Jiu stand up and slightly raise his fingertips. The silent twelve and a half-fingered copper swords in the corner suddenly rose up. Before the remnant soul, they had arrived. The entrance to the dark room blocks the way for the remaining souls.
At this time, the remnant soul still had the complacency to rely on the second half of the letter to intimidate Tang Jiu and Gu Xiao. There was a copper sword in front of him to seal the road, and behind him was the man in a bamboo hat. He saw that his body had gradually turned green, and his body was filled with energy. Even more like being bitten by thousands of insects, I could only squeeze out a cry for mercy: "Spare... spare my life... I say..."
When Gu Xiao heard this, he hurriedly said, "Say it quickly."
The remnant soul no longer had the heart to resist, and endured the severe pain, telling the truth word for word: "The mountains...enclose a solitary waterfall, the water is green...there is no floating pool, and I want to...Looking for Murong Valley, the sky is endless When you come to the door...there is no way, you can only...hold your breath and enter, look around to find the curtain at the bottom of the pool, just like walking on the road of the king of hell...only to see Murong...Murong Valley...Shangxian, I have told you the truth. Oh, please spare my life..."
Gu Xiao heard this and kept it in mind. Tang Jiu was already walking behind him. His contemptuous eyes passed over the struggling soul body on the ground, and then he said to Gu Xiao: "Do you remember?"
Seeing the young man nodding in response, Tang Jiu smiled and said, "That's good, I've completed what she told me."
The remaining soul on the ground could no longer bear the pain of being bitten by thousands of insects, so it spoke in a voice as loud as a mosquito's fly: "The antidote..."
But he heard the young man in front of him stand up and say to the man in the bamboo hat behind him: "It has done all kinds of evil things."
The man in the hat also replied: "I also hurt Jiang Ningxue..."
"Is there any solution to the Immortal Demon Knocking?" the young man asked again.
"Yes, the antidote is in your mouth." A smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth.
The remnant soul tried its best to look at the young man. The firelight was dim, but he could clearly see the young man's face. At this moment, the young man had stood up and looked down at him, but there was no light of hope in his starry eyes, which were full of coldness.
The young man looked back and looked outside the entrance to the secret room, as if he was talking to himself in a deserted place. However, when the residual soul heard the words in the young man's mouth clearly, he was filled with despair.
"Brother Chen, today is the day that my brother will avenge you. Don't worry, your sister-in-law and nephew will have enough food and clothing. Just let this remnant soul suffer all the pain and let you go."
After finishing speaking, the young man's Adam's apple turned up and down, and the antidote for the immortal demon in Tang Jiu's mouth had been swallowed by the young man...
Having lost the last hope of life, the remaining soul showed a crazy look, no longer caring about the poison in the body, and wanted to die together with the young man when the soul was about to fly away.
But when he was about to move, he found that the body condensed by his residual soul had gradually dissipated under the erosion of green. Looking at the backs of the two people getting further away, the residual soul could only curse with all his strength.
"You two... really... think that among Chen Beizhou's... Shimen Eight Formations, I am the only one alive... Come down, will someone avenge my soul-destruction today... .”
Hearing this, the man in the hat didn't stop, he just glanced coldly and said: "Then we will be destroyed together."
The young man ignored the remnant soul's words and kept thinking about the method of entering Murong Valley in his heart.
"There are solitary waterfalls surrounded by mountains, green water and no floating pools. If you want to find Murong Valley, there is no way out from the sky and there is no way. You can only enter by holding your breath and look around to find the bottom curtain of the pool. It is like walking on the road of the King of Hell, then you will see Murong Valley."
Looking up to the north, the young man's starry eyes gradually became fixed and he thought silently in his heart.
"Lin'er, Uncle Li, brother Tianya, sister, wait for me."
Some people died, but not completely...
