After hearing Jia Lihu's words, Lu Chun's face instantly darkened. This situation was not unfamiliar to him. After all, the same thing happened to his old lady.
But unlike the village chief's deliberate concealment, the man who controlled his old husband was not only "above and above board", he even used this matter to control and threaten him, forcing him to do something that went against his conscience and morality.
Seeing Lu Chun's ugly face, Jia Lihu also felt very guilty: "Brother Lu Chun, you have to believe me, I really have no intention of framing you!"
However, Lu Chun ignored Jia Lihu and looked at Lin Zidai solemnly.
Lin Zidai knew what Lu Chun meant, and patted Jia Lihu on the shoulder to signal the latter to relax, and then continued: "Brother Lu, although the conditions of the village chief and your old lady are similar on the surface, they are actually very different! To put it simply, It is said that the former is someone who changes the appearance and replaces the identity, and the latter is someone who binds three souls to control the body. The two methods are quite different, so this matter is definitely not done by the same person! As long as your old lady is still being tortured The man's control will not be damaged at all, Brother Lu can rest assured."
When Lu Chun heard this, the gloom on his face dissipated a lot, but he always felt that Lin Zidai was comforting him, or he was still a little doubtful: "You idiot Lin, are you serious about this?"
"Brother Lu, when did Lin deceive you? To tell you the truth, I looked at him carefully when I was communicating with the 'village chief' just now, and found that there was no trace of death in this man, so he is definitely not that Men pretending!" Lin Zidai chuckled.
"What? Brother Lu Chun's old lady turned out to be..." Jia Orion realized later, and his attitude towards Lu Chun completely changed. But the situation was tense now, and it was not the time to inquire about such trivial matters. He hurriedly asked Lin Zidai: "Since sir has noticed it a long time ago, have you seen this person's true identity?"
Lin Zidai nodded and then shook his head: "I do have a guess in my heart, but I am not sure."
"It's already here, why are you still trying to make excuses? Hurry up and tell me!" Now that Lin Zidai was sure that this man was not a gay man, Lu Chun wanted to hear where he came from.
Lin Zidai glanced upward and saw that the falcon had folded its wings and was resting with its eyes narrowed. He didn't pay attention to what they were talking about. Then he lowered his voice and said, "In order to take revenge, I killed many people." Xinghuo Sect is the killer of Tianmen. Later, Xinghuo Sect said that as long as someone can take my life, Xinghuo Sect will owe him a favor..."
Because Lu Chun had already heard about this incident, his mood did not fluctuate much, but he was very curious about his next words. Jia Lihu, who was standing by him, shrank in fear when he heard this, thinking that although the son of his benefactor looked harmless to humans and animals, he didn't expect that he was actually a god of murder!
"I was young and energetic at the time, and eager for revenge. I just felt that hiding in hiding was not what a man would do, so I went straight to the Xinghuo Gate to kill, preparing to completely eradicate this scourge!"
"After all, the Xinghuo Sect is a killer sect, so I always thought he would be in a dangerous place. But when I found the place, I discovered that the place where the Xinghuo Sect rests has beautiful mountains and clear waters, a quiet scenery, colorful fallen flowers along the road, and hundreds of birds singing overhead. , where is the slightest bit of murderous intent?"
"Originally, I thought that coming to the Starfire Gate would be a fierce battle, but I didn't know that there was not even a single figure in it, so I missed it! But just when I turned around to leave, I saw a man wearing a A man in a golden robe with chi pattern and a kind face is standing behind me!"
"Lin is a disciple of Qi Medicine, so he can naturally feel the changes in Zheng Qi nearby! But at that time, I had no idea when this person appeared, and how he stood just a foot behind me without noticing. Far away?"
"The visitor saw me on alert but didn't panic at all. He just introduced himself slowly and slowly with his hands behind his hands. It turns out that he is the sect leader of the Starfire Sect, Lang Qianxun!"
"He said he didn't expect someone to be so bold. Instead of hiding when being hunted by the Starfire Sect, he came to the door! He admired me very much and assured me that as long as I agreed to join the Starfire Sect, there would be nothing between us. The grievances will be wiped out once and for all.”
"But after all, my senior died because of the Xinghuo Sect, and the Qi Medical Sect suffered a disaster because of the Xinghuo Sect. How can these be equalized by just writing them off? Even if I kill all the people from the Xinghuo Sect, I still can't bear the hatred. Ping! At that time, I didn’t care what his identity was, I was going to kill him!"
"Unexpectedly, just as I was about to take action, I felt a dark wind whistling above my head. As soon as I raised my head, I saw a yellow cloud coming towards me. I saw two sharp claws grabbing directly at my Baihui. If I were caught by it, How can one survive?"
"At the critical moment, I only saw a white shadow passing in front of me, and the next moment I was taken out of danger. The man told me not to interfere with the Starfire Gate, and then pointed to the distance behind him and asked me to go there I hid for a while and then disappeared. When I came back to my senses, I realized that the place that the man was pointing to was not far away, it was the Jade Pot Sect..."
After saying that, Lin Zidai hugged his fists towards Lu Chun: "I'm really sorry, Brother Lu! I didn't hide this matter intentionally, but I saw that you are not good at hiding your thoughts, and I was worried that you would be exposed, so... I didn't give details."
Lu Chun rolled his eyes: "Since you are worried about being exposed, why are you telling me now..." At this point, he suddenly realized and secretly pointed at the hunting falcon above him, "Did you mean..."
"Yes, I suspect that the village chief's true identity is Lang Qianxun..." As soon as Lin Zidai approached the village, he felt the familiar feeling from the birds around him when he went to Xinghuo Gate, but after coming into contact with the village chief No matter how he looked at the other party, he felt that the other party was extremely ordinary, so he could only hide this suspicion.
"If the village chief is really Lang Qianxun, why would he return the oil lamp to you?" Lu Chun asked in confusion.
"In my inherited memory, this oil lamp is called 'Pure Fire Pot'. Its lamp plate is in the shape of a lotus, and the lamp holder connected to the center of the flower is a jade pot. Together they have the words 'I will send my lotus heart (compassion)' It means "jade pot", so it cannot be used by people who are not transparent! If he is really the master of Xinghuo Sect, Lang Qianxun, then he returned the oil lamp to me not out of good intentions, but most likely because he wanted me to Show him the way.”
"Then shall we continue moving forward?" Lu Chun frowned.
"Natural." Lin Zidai smiled, "The reason why Lang Qianxun wanted to find the Qi Medical Sect was just to coerce the Qi Medical Sect into serving him. However, he never imagined that the Qi Medical Sect had already disappeared between heaven and earth, so even if What can he do if he knows where Qi Medical Sect used to be?"
"That's true..." Lu Chun nodded, "Since it's still early, let's not linger here. Let's continue on our way as you said, idiot Lin."
"Wait, wait a minute!" Jia Lihu had just received too much information and couldn't digest it for a while. When he heard that the two were about to leave, he jumped up hurriedly, "If you two are not in a hurry, you should change the way!"
Lu Chun turned his head and looked to the left, then to the right. He didn't find anything wrong. He asked confusedly: "Change the road? Is there anything wrong with these two roads?"
"There is nothing wrong with these two roads, but if you want to go to Ruushui from these two roads, you have to pass...through the Ten Thousand Snakes Valley!" Jia Lihu said nervously.
"Ten Thousand Snakes Valley?" Lin Zidai and Lu Chun said in unison. They had heard of this word before, but because there was no trace of it when they looked carefully, they forgot about it. However, they did not expect that today this word would be dug out of the depths of their memory by Jia Liehu.
They only heard that the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes is located halfway up the mountain. It is named because the place is damp and cold, overgrown with weeds, and inhabited by all kinds of colorful poisonous snakes. But the other information seemed to have been deliberately hidden, and it was impossible to explore it any further.
Just when a few people were struggling, they suddenly heard a hoarse cry from above their heads. It turned out that the hunting falcon suddenly woke up, urged impatiently, and then flew towards one of the roads.
Lin Zidai frowned slightly and said calmly: "If this village chief is really Lang Qianxun, if we suddenly change the route, I am afraid it will arouse his suspicion. Especially now that Brother Lu is in poor health, once the effectiveness of the medicinal herbs begins to decline , the side effects of the Qi Doctor's access control technique will kill you... So I have to break into the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes! Brother Jia, since the road ahead is so dangerous, why don't you stay here..."
Although Jia Liehu didn't know what Lu Chun's condition was, nor what Qi Yi's access control technique was, when he saw Lin Zidai's serious face, he knew that this matter was indeed something serious, and he shook his head repeatedly: "Sir, what you said is wrong, I, Jia, An is a hunter after all, and has been to many dangerous places, so how can he escape from the battlefield here?"
After saying that, he waved the bamboo sword in his hand: "Besides, I have walked through the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes once. If you don't have someone familiar with the situation to guide you, it will be very inconvenient for you to move! The most important thing is that I know the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes. There is a fork in the road that leads down the mountain, so we don’t have to go all the way through Ten Thousand Snakes Valley!”
Seeing Jia Liehu's resolute attitude, Lin Zidai had no choice but to agree. If he could follow Jia Liehu's words and leave Ten Thousand Snakes Valley through a fork in the road, he would indeed be able to avoid a lot of dangers.
Hearing a few more urgings from the falcon in the sky, the three of them took off and hurried towards the valley...
It was just past noon, but the village was completely silent at this time, with only an occasional faint sound coming from the village chief's house.
I saw the village chief sitting in the shadow with his back to the window, hunched over and puffing away smoke. And in the darkness in front of him, a red light flickered, like a star falling in the mortal world.
At first, there were only wisps of smoke in the house, but as time passed, a cloud of mist seemed to rise in the house, making all the scenery no longer clear.
Suddenly, there was a burst of birdsong outside the house, and they were chirping non-stop. When the village chief heard this sound, he finally stopped puffing and said to himself: "It's almost time to leave."
The village chief stood up slowly, and two golden lights suddenly flashed in his two dark eye holes. He stroked the tobacco stem a few times, said goodbye to his "old friend", and then slowly placed it on the table.
In the house, the figure of the village chief has disappeared, and one can only vaguely see a human face mask slowly opening on the smoky table and next to the tobacco pole...
