"What do you mean?"
"What can I mean?" Wu Yuangui spread his hands, "I have no other meaning."
"You'd better not." Shan Hai pressed hard, "Then please explain in detail what burial is."
"It's okay, there's no point in talking in circles with you on this point. Do you really think that She Ji can only command me and you are unprepared? One day, when the Snow Inkstone Sect is unable to retreat, we will release a kind of Gu insect. The consciousness of a person parasitized by this kind of poison will fall into a deep sleep, like a walking corpse, and all their subsequent actions will be controlled by the king insect, even if they speak in the person's native voice."
"That sounds like..."
"That's right." Wu Yuangui knew what Dai Luan was thinking, "It was this medicine that Xie Huayao tried."
"Fart! What kind of medicine is this? Poison?"
Breaking conversations are always easier, but Mu Wan never imagined that such a day would come to pass. Wu Yuangui didn't explain anything and just responded calmly:
"There is no antidote for the snake venom in her. If she doesn't use the poison, she will die. The medicine she was given later was nothing more than comfort such as Ma Fei Powder, and some medicines that slightly delayed and concealed the poison. Using this kind of poison, she could actually stay To save her life. Although her self-awareness cannot be awakened, at least there is still the possibility of waking up and living. If the snake venom is allowed to spread without being suppressed by this Gu, she will definitely die. If She Ji hadn't analyzed this Regardless of the pros and cons, I won’t agree.”
Chi Li didn't understand: "Do you believe anything he says? What should you do if he lies to you? Besides, I don't believe any of my friends here can listen to your lies. Isn't it because you feel sorry for him?" Use your words to deceive your conscience!"
"He has a damn conscience!" Mu Wan continued to scold.
"It doesn't matter what you think."
Ye Yuejun held back Mu Wan who wanted to rush up and slap him, and tried her best to suppress her anger. She also wanted to ask something, but Dai Luan spoke before her.
"Wait, that's not right... Why was it that when we saw her, she was clearly dead, and yet... And she claimed that she had eaten something similar to the Resurrection Pill. Why was that? The poison failed on her body?"
"Indeed. The instinct succeeded, but her own consciousness became defensive and refused to sleep. When the Gu was unstable, she actually hanged herself. If the host's own consciousness dies, this body will also die. If it's gone, the voodoo won't work... We originally wanted to use her as a trap to infect you. But Yun Waijing let me know that you actually used a peach wood sword to seal her voodoo. You are lucky. If anyone else In the past, we were not so lucky. Neither Gu nor the medicine given to Xie Huayao had a resurrecting pill, but the medicines were very similar, such as the powder of Wajinhua... It would have been too expensive to use on so many people. , we can’t find so many phoenix flowers.”
"In other words, she didn't actually die for a long time... If we count from the first day after she was given the medicine, according to the effect of the Resurrection Pill, it would have been less than seven days since she died." Mo Liang calculated.
"We were just trying. I didn't expect that you would actually come back within seven days. By some strange combination of circumstances, I pretended to be alive in front of you. Originally, I just wanted to extract more words from her memory."
No matter what, Mu Wan could not imagine why all of this would turn out the way it did now. Her breathing was a little rapid, and she felt like she was out of breath. She tried hard to think and comb, but it was like pulling on knotted wool to try to unravel it. Instead, the ball of thread became tighter and tighter. Finally, she stamped her foot and yelled at Wu Yuangui angrily:
"So you want to release that kind of Gu insect to kill the entire Xue Yan Sect?!"
"That's not killing. I said, they won't die."
Chi Li also took a step forward and almost screamed: "It would be better to die! What is in your head? How could you be willing to do such a thing to the disciples who grew up with you? When my father was alive, I would still pass Yun Waijing, look here. Ever since Xiao told me that he was no longer here, I no longer pay attention to Xue Yangu. Who knew that as his eldest disciple, as the senior fellow disciple of all his peers, you would do such an evil thing? Ask yourself, whose soul in heaven are you worthy of?"
"My parents." He said coldly.
There was a fire stuck in the throats of a group of people. Ye Yuejun swallowed, as if trying to put out the fire. Her voice wasn't normal.
"You might as well ask them yourself. What do they think when they see all this in heaven?"
"It's not the time yet. And as a threat, your words can't change anything for me. To be honest, there is also my brother or sister. He was in my mother's belly, and before he could be born, he was blocked by my father. One sword strike. The child was not saved, and my father did not survive. Gone, all gone. Whenever She retells the scene at that time, I can't forget it. It seemed to happen before my eyes, performed over and over again. .”
Wu Yuangui didn't have any weapons in his hands. Unarmed, he stretched out his finger, pointed at Mo Liang, and then pointed back at Mu Wan.
"I could have a brother like you, or a sister."
"If I knew you were this kind of person, I should have come back a long time ago. You can even kill the master."
Chi Li sneered. Other than that, she couldn't make any more expressions.
"Who am I? Over the years, I have done a lot of work for my sect. The water conservancy in the west, the granary in the east... Which of these was not lacking when your father was in power? Which one was not built by me? Not only do a group of people not Understand me, and regard my achievements as nothing, and cling to the affairs of She Ji's subordinates. Otherwise? Where does the money come from? Where does the labor come from? With your father's little ability when he was alive, and your father left behind His family fortune is enough to do a lot of work."
"That's what the leader should do! How do you know if my father has considered this? He can't sleep day and night, and is sad day and night. On the one hand, he is worried about making friends with various sects, and on the other hand, he is busy comforting People in the valley. Do you think being the leader is easy? Are you complaining now? What do you see?"
Everyone suddenly looked at Chi Li. Sure enough, she had been paying attention to her father when he was alive. She is not a heartless person. If she really organizes the affairs of Xueyan Valley, it might be better than it is now. At least, it won't be reduced to the current situation. Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, without having to worry about facing a life-and-death battle, or becoming a so-called burial or victim.
"That's not necessary. Whoever wants to be the leader can be the leader. Do you think I am the leader just to be the head of a sect? That's all, I have told you enough."
With that said, Wu Yuangui turned around. Shan Hai suddenly stopped him and asked him a final question.
"how about you?"
"Me what?"
"What should you do? When the poisonous insects spread like a plague in the Snow Inkstone Valley, can you still survive? Can I understand that... you have the antidote?"
"No."
"...?"
"I don't have an antidote."
Now everyone was stunned. Shanhai's question was also something some of them wanted to ask, but getting such an answer would inevitably be jaw-dropping. Chi Li said coldly: "I don't believe it."
"No...he probably really doesn't."
Chi Li suddenly turned her head to look at Mu Wan, wondering why she said this. This argument seemed to excuse him, but seeing Mu Wan's determined gaze there was no doubt about it. Dai Luan didn't understand either, so he asked her why.
"I know him."
"This person has been hanging out with monsters all year round, so don't be careless." Mo Liang said, tilting his sword.
"No, he is indeed not that... cunning. He can do this kind of thing that will destroy everything."
Wu Yuangui smiled tiredly, shook his head and said:
"Little junior sister, you look down on me too much."
"You don't have a junior sister. You don't deserve to be anyone's senior brother."
"Okay, it's up to you. But what I want to say is that as the leader of a sect, I am indeed willing to live and die together with my disciples, and to advance and retreat together."
"Ghost letter." Chi Li rolled her eyes, "If you say something like this at this time, who do you expect to remember you?"
"I'm not counting on anyone. It's not that I have no plans. I've told myself a long time ago that when this day comes, I will never hesitate. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. I did it for myself, and I have a clear conscience."
"You are so shameless to say that." Dai Luan shouted, "If you had done such a thing earlier, we would think highly of you. But your method is really inhumane, no matter who listens to it, they will spit on you."
Mo Liang didn't believe him either, and his attitude was very firm: "Maybe She Ji has an antidote."
Ye Yuejun said: "I didn't expect their relationship to be so good. I know all the people in Death Shadow Pavilion. Gao Yuejun has a vast vision, but he doesn't care about worldly affairs. Even the people around him are the same - as long as there are enough Loyal, let them turn the world upside down. None of those five people are easy to deal with. She Ji designed all this. He will not easily leave feelings for any human beings just for twenty or thirty years. He is only loyal to the real ones. Pavilion Master. If Wu Yuangui is no longer valuable, he will not care about life and death. What's more, if he is poisoned and becomes a puppet at the mercy of others, it will be more successful for She Ji."
Shanhai felt incredible.
"Are you willing?"
"I'm willing to do that. I want everything he held dear to be buried with my family, my past — and myself."
He spoke every word, but there was no trace of sadness or anger in his tone. It's as if all the extreme emotions have been exhausted long ago, and all that's left are the zombie-like "habits", the habit of hatred. It should be said that this long period of brainwashing was quite successful. He had already put his own life and death aside, and he didn't care about any other costs. He just stubbornly insisted on one goal, that's all.
Chili still stared at him fiercely, her eyes cracked. Wu Yuangui's existence was not worthless - at least he made her realize that her feelings had not dulled, and they were not as tender as she only felt towards Mo Liang. She can still hate, be sad, and be angry.
Mu Wan was already furious. Her eyes were empty, unable to reflect the shadow of Wu Yuangui.
Eyes full of lightness and sadness.
