Looking at the table full of delicacies in the golden building and the couple who kept teasing each other, Gu Xiao glanced slightly and turned to the solemn-looking disciples behind him, wary of Yu Sheng.
The owner of the Jinji Tower, who was greeting him with force just a moment ago, ignored his own efforts to scare him and sent the son and apprentice of the important person from Weirenling. At this time, he took the initiative to host a banquet in honor of the Jinji Tower owner. This made Gu Xiao feel more and more uneasy.
Especially the uneasy look in the eyes of the Jinji Tower disciples who were waiting nearby, not to mention Gu Xiao who was covered in red robes, even the disciples from the Wicked Ridge at the other table had already sensed the strange atmosphere in the Golden Tower. .
Liang Ji glanced at him and saw that his uncle was just sitting quietly at the table, with the wine cup and delicacies in front of him untouched at all. He quickly stopped his hands with chopsticks and signaled to the disciples in Wicked Ridge not to be greedy.
The performance of the people in Weiren Ridge fell into the eyes of the owner of Jinji. After a little calculation in his mind, he realized that he had made everyone in Weiren Ridge feel grudged on the rope bridge. It seemed that the mute junior brother was the only one in Weiren Ridge. He made up his mind and asked the people beside him. The mute junior brother raised his glass and spoke.
"Junior brother, please forgive me. There have been some changes in my Golden Rooster Tower recently. That's why I lost my temper on the rope bridge outside the building earlier. I hope you won't take it personally. Come on, come on... Senior brother, I'll give you a toast and apologize."
"Bang--" Before Gu Xiao managed to shirk away from the so-called "senior brother" beside him to persuade him to drink, the wine cup in the hands of the host's wife had already broken into pieces. The jade porcelain wine cup was instantly twisted into powder by her under the agitation of true energy.
The sudden change made the already weird atmosphere of Jinji Tower suddenly become tense. The disciples of Villain Ridge stood up in unison, their faces full of alert, while the disciples of Jinji Tower unsheathed their long swords under Rouge's cloak and faced each other tit for tat.
Although the wife had promised to act, her son's revenge had not yet been avenged, so how could she be like her husband, drinking and meeting guests as if nothing had happened. Murong Yue naturally knew his wife's thoughts, so why didn't he want to overturn the table and take it now? The lives of everyone in the Villain Ridge were high. If they hadn't delayed the delivery of the pills, how could he have asked Lu'er to rush him, and how could Lu'er have lost his life...
But they haven't found out who secretly attacked Jinjilou, and the matter of getting the blood supply pill is imminent, so he has to deal with his junior brother.
Ruthless and calm eyes flashed alternately. He closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, the golden rooster owner's eyes were full of calmness. There was even a faint smile on the corners of his lips, and his eyes glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally. Madam next to her, after secretly winking, turned to the mute junior brother and spoke calmly: "There are complicated affairs in the building, madam is tired, I hope junior brother will not blame..."
When he spoke, he saw that his junior brother, who had been motionless during the confrontation, had slowly stood up, and his palms slowly stretched out from the red robe...
Regardless of the building owner's wife who was slightly out of control, Murong Yue, or the two disciples confronting each other in the building, their eyes followed the red-robed palm standing next to Murong Yue... until the palm stretched out of the broad robe and held it in his hand. On the wine cups in front of the table, everyone's hanging hearts finally dropped.
"Okay! We haven't seen each other for many years. It seems that my junior brother still recognizes me as his senior brother! Come on, come on, let's have another drink!"
As soon as this move came out, the situation in the field calmed down. The disciples of the Golden Rooster Tower returned their swords to their sheaths, and everyone in the Wicked Ridge sat down at the table again.
Murong Yue pretended to be happy to see his fellow apprentices reunited after a long absence, but when he saw the mute younger brother only gently lifting the wine cup and bringing it close to his hood, he stopped. His eyes shot out from his hat, and he glanced at the two disciples in the building. They had taken off their guard and the wine glasses had been put back on the table.
"Junior brother, what do you mean... You and I came from the same sect, are you afraid that I will poison the wine..." Seeing how rude the mute junior brother was, even if Murong Yue could hold back the anger in his heart, at this moment I could no longer hold it back any longer, my face flashed with sadness, my anger burst out, and the veins on my hand holding the wine cup stood out...
"Crack--" A crack appeared on the wall of the wine cup. Although the sound was soft, it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, making the atmosphere that had just relaxed a little become solemn again.
The pain of losing his son was nowhere to be vented, so he finally suppressed his anger. This time, the mute junior brother refused to drink in public, which completely disgraced Jinjilou. The corners of Murong Yue's eyes twitched, and the veins on his forehead popped out. He could no longer suppress it. Anger in my heart...
Gu Xiao was already on guard, so how could he drink the other person's wine rashly? He caught a glimpse of the wine cup in Murong Yue's hand and was not in a hurry. He seemed to have expected that the other person would be angry because of this. He turned his hood slightly and looked behind him with dull eyes. A big man with a beard.
His anger was about to come out, but he saw the mute junior brother's eyes turning back. Murong Yue suppressed his anger and saw the mute junior brother's eyes on him for a moment. The big man with the curly beard had slowly raised his steps and walked forward like a puppet on strings.
Confused about Junior Brother Mute's intentions, Murong Yue had secretly gathered his energy, and when he wanted to be on guard against his sudden violence, he saw the wide sleeves of Junior Brother's red robe fluttering, and a short blade appeared under the red robe.
As soon as the blade was revealed, everyone in Jinji Tower drew their swords again and was on guard. Even Murong Yue and his wife thought that the mute junior brother was going to make a move, so they quickly jumped away. When they settled down, their wide sleeves shook together, and the two of them wore red robes. The scarlet sword underneath suddenly appeared.
Swords were being drawn, needles were falling, and when the situation reached a deadlock again, one person's voice broke the tranquility in the building.
"Uncle! Wait...wait a minute, do it!"
Hearing this, he looked around and saw the evil Ling Liang Ji. He stood up slowly and opened his mouth to stop everyone in the room. He put on a flattering smile and continued to speak to Murong Yue and his wife.
"Uncle Yue has misunderstood. Uncle Yue... He doesn't want to do anything. He wants to explain to Uncle Yue that he can't drink alcohol because he practices poisonous skills. This big man with a beard is the one we imprisoned in Weiren Ridge." Among human beings, there is a rather troublesome existence. It was only thanks to this medicine that Uncle Master took away this person's mind. However, it is precisely because of this medicine that... he cannot drink alcohol..."
In fact, Liang Ji did not know his uncle's intentions. He just saw that a fierce battle was inevitable and was worried about being involved, so he just told nonsense. However, if this lie needs to be believed, it must be 30% true and 70% false. , before setting off to Jinji Ridge, the uncle performed it in front of everyone in the Evil Ridge. In full view of everyone, he took out an elixir, ground it into powder, and poured it into the mouth of the bearded man. Then the troublesome man became He became a zombie-like existence before his eyes.
At this moment, Liang Ji didn't care whether the nonsense he said was his uncle's intention. He just wanted to save his life and make long-term plans.
After these impassioned speeches, I secretly prayed to my uncle that he would not be impulsive. I glanced over unconsciously and actually saw my uncle nodding slightly. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief and calmed down his heart that was almost beating out of my chest. .
When Murong Yue heard the words of the disciples at Wicked Ridge and saw the nodding gesture of his mute junior brother, he immediately calmed down a little and thought to himself: "This is not the time to fall out, let's let him live a little longer..."
After calming down, the guarded look on his face disappeared, and he was about to step forward and continue speaking. Suddenly, a shocking sound came from outside the Golden Rooster Tower, and he planned to open his mouth...
The roar sounded like an animal but not an animal, like a human but not a human being. As soon as the sound entered the Golden Rooster Tower, the expressions of everyone in the Golden Rooster Tower suddenly changed. Unlike the solemn look they had before when they were about to take action, what appeared on their faces now was a look of terror.
Gu Xiao, who was hiding under his hood, could see the expressions on everyone's faces. Even the Golden Rooster owner and his wife were slightly frightened when they heard the roar. They couldn't help but become more confused, and what made Gu Xiao realize that something was wrong was that they were... Murong Lu, who was yelling at the Evil Man Ridge before, and the disciple of the Jinji Tower called Ji Ye never showed up. Judging from the banquet hosted by the Jinji Tower owner in front of him, Murong Lu, as the young owner, never showed up. It's unreasonable...
His mind was racing, and before he could think much, he was interrupted by Murong Yue's voice.
"Junior brother, did you hear this?"
Gu Xiao saw that the other party was no longer obsessed with the previous drinking incident, and no longer had to use the prepared method to deal with it. From Murong Yue's tone, he could tell that he had something to say, so he turned to him and nodded slightly.
When Murong Yue saw that his mute junior brother had stepped into the trap he had set, a trace of unnoticeable viciousness flashed across his eyes. Before he spoke, he slightly raised his hand to signal.
The disciples of the Jinji Tower immediately understood and quietly exited the building. Liang Ji was already greedy for life and afraid of death. He remembered that there was no news after the elixirs were delivered to the Jinji Tower. Now he heard the roar again. He already guessed a little bit and hurriedly got up to wake up. The disciples at Wicked Ridge temporarily retreated to allow the two uncles to talk in secret.
After all the disciples in the building retreated, only the four people in red robes and the bearded man who looked like a walking corpse were left in the Golden Rooster Building.
There was no one else around. Murong Yue put down the broken wine cup in his hand, sighed and said to the mute junior brother: "This time, junior brother, I need a helping hand as a brother."
Gu Xiao didn't know what kind of medicine the Golden Rooster owner was selling in his gourd, so he could only continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, waiting for the other party to explain his intentions... Sure enough, seeing that his junior brother had no intention of refusing, Murong Yue continued: "Junior brother, too You know, I am ordered to guard this Golden Rooster Tower, and I have to offer ten blood pills to the master every month. Otherwise, my life will be at risk when I go up and down the Golden Rooster Tower... It is not difficult to refine this blood pill, just practice A martial artist can refine one with all his blood, but more than a month ago, an uninvited guest broke into my Golden Rooster Tower, which greatly reduced my ability to produce blood elixirs..."
Although Gu Xiao had heard the word "alchemy" from Liang Ji and other disciples before, he could guess a few points, but now he heard from Murong Yue that human blood was used to make pills, and his eyebrows under the hood of the red robe were still confused. Frowning tightly, Murong Yue said such cruel things in an understatement, which was even more horrifying.
However, before he could think about this man's blood-refining alchemy, Murong Yue's next words made Gu Xiao frown slightly and pause eagerly. If he hadn't touched the bearded man next to him, he would have almost blurted out the question.
"It is said that more than a month ago, the master finally found the person he was looking for, but among the group of people, there was a strange beast... It is said that it is a strange beast, but it is ordinary, just a ferret, but the ferret is quite With his understanding of human nature, he was able to avoid numerous pursuits and escape into my Golden Rooster Tower..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw his junior brother, who was hiding his face with a hood and kept his head bowed silently. He suddenly raised his head for a moment. He still couldn't see his face clearly, but he could feel his sharp gaze coming out of the hood. His whole body aura made Murong Yue and his wife so excited. He couldn't help but retreat slightly to avoid its sharp edge.
Gu Xiao felt that he had lost his composure and hurriedly restrained his breath. When he lowered his head to cover the shock in his eyes, his heart was already churning.
The ferret who understands human nature is Ta Xue who disappeared with Lin'er and others. He tried his best to suppress his heaving chest. Gu Xiao wished he could take action now, take down the two people in front of him, and ask where Ta Xue was.
But then I thought that since I had already disguised myself, I had to calm down and think calmly before finding Lin'er and others, and I caught some clues from what Murong Yue said.
"The pedestrians he mentioned seem to be Lin'er, Brother Tianya and others. Murong Fengling, who controls Murong Valley, is bent on looking for Lin'er and others. Is it possible... No, he should not know. , even if he knew that Murong Fengling's swordsmanship was enough... but why did he have to mobilize everyone to join forces with Lingyun Sword Sect..." Gu Xiao felt trapped in a fog, unable to find the key to these clues. .
After a moment of doubt, he quickly pulled his thoughts away. The purpose of coming to the Jinji Tower was to use the Jinji Tower to go to Fengdu, where he was talking about, to find someone.
When we were in the Wicked Ridge, we had already heard from Brother Xue and Liang Ji that the Golden Rooster Tower was the only way to Fengdu. I thought that even if I couldn't pretend to pass through, I would still have to pass through the Golden Rooster Tower. , I really didn’t expect that I would hear news about Taxue here.
"Find Texue first and then try to get past the Golden Rooster Tower..." Gu Xiao had already made up his mind.
