"Why did you come back so soon? Did you find something like that?"
There was an unattractive man sitting on the stone platform in the main hall of Wutu Cave. This man had a thin face and looked very worried. He was the Witch King Wei Wuxi.
Hearing that someone was coming to ask for a meeting, Wei Wuxi's originally dull eyes suddenly showed a rare hint of expectation. However, when he saw that the person's hands were empty, his eyes became lost again.
"Back to the Witch King, my disciple has not inquired about the whereabouts of such a thing..." The visitor took a deep breath and said nervously.
"I knew it..." Wei Wuxi's face became more disappointed, "If there is nothing else, you should just retreat..."
"Witch King!" Hearing this, the visitor quickly stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "Witch King! Although we were unable to find out the whereabouts of that thing, fortunately, this operation did not cause much damage... The reason why the disciples are so anxious I came back because I wanted to boldly introduce someone to the Witch King. Not only did this person save the disciple’s life, but he also deserves credit for this action!”
"Oh?" Wei Wuxi raised his eyelids, "Where is this person?"
"The disciple is afraid of disturbing the Witch King, so he has asked him to wait outside the door." The visitor said respectfully.
"We at Wu Tu Ku have always cherished good materials, so why should we wait for them? Let him come in..." Wei Wuxi waved his hand and said casually.
"Yes!" After hearing this, the man hurriedly turned around and left, and not long after, he came back with someone else.
"They say this Wutu Cave is mysterious and mysterious, but today it turned out to be so... shabby..."
While Lu Chun was waiting outside the door, he couldn't help but look around, but saw that the place where the Witch King was was turned out to be just a grotto, not as grand and luxurious as he had imagined. At first, he thought that this place was just low-key in appearance, but when he came to the main hall, he saw that this place was even simpler than the disciple's residence that he was taken to that day, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"Ahem...senior?" Seeing Lu Chun still looking around, the young man walking aside couldn't help but poke Lu Chun and reminded him in a low voice.
After being reminded, Lu Chun came back to his senses and saw the person on the stone platform in front of him at a glance. Just as he was about to speak, he looked around and saw that there was no one else here except this ordinary-looking man. Then he clasped his fists and said hello: "I'm Lu Chun, I have long admired the name of the Witch King." , When I saw him today, he was indeed very magnanimous!"
"Hahaha..." Lu Chun's weird expression was naturally noticed by Wei Wuxi, but the latter did not point it out, he just smiled and said: "I heard from my subordinates that you did a big favor to my Wu Tu Ku. I don't know. What reward do you need?”
"I was just following the instructions of the man. I really don't deserve the reward or anything, so let's forget it! But when I came here, I did have something to ask for, and I hope the Witch King can fulfill it!" Lu Chun didn't want to To have anything to do with Wu Tu Ku is straightforward.
The Witch King nodded slightly, waved his hand to the young man next to him to signal the latter to step back, and then continued: "If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Lu Chun raised his head and looked at the Witch King: "I came...to find someone."
"Looking for someone?" Wei Wuxi didn't expect that Lu Chun's conditions were so simple, and he was a little interested. "Tell me, who is the name of the person you want to find? I will bring him here right away."
"This man's name is Lu Tong, who is also the captain of the skull. I believe the Witch King will be familiar with him, right?" Lu Chun said, staring closely into Wei Wuxi's eyes.
"Lu Tong is the messenger of that man. Of course I remember this person..." At this point, Wei Wuxi suddenly raised his eyebrows, "You said... your name is Lu Chun, so what is the relationship between you and this Lu Tong?" what relationship?"
"We are cousins." Lu Chun's face showed no expression.
"It's not difficult to bring him here, I can order him right away." Wei Wuxi suddenly realized, then he looked at Lu Chun thoughtfully and sneered: "If I'm not wrong, you didn't come to him just to reminisce about the past! "
Lu Chun frowned slightly: "The Witch King is right... But after all, this is a personal grudge between me and my cousin. I hope the Witch King will not stop it for the sake of the man!"
"Personal grudge?" The Witch King was confused. He originally thought that Lu Chun was looking for Lu Tong because he wanted to establish a relationship with the man through the latter's identity as messenger, but Lu Chun's answer surprised him.
The Witch King was extremely curious about Lu Chun's true purpose, but he didn't want anyone to guess his thoughts. After thinking about it for a moment, his face turned gloomy: "Although Lu Tong is the messenger of Nan Jin, he is also the messenger of my Wu Tu Cave." Disciple! If you want to take action against my disciples in Wu Tu Ku, you are really brave!"
Seeing the Witch King getting angry, Lu Chun also felt a thump in his heart, secretly shouting, "Oh no!"
He had no intention of telling his true thoughts, but he was worried that if he didn't say anything, once the Witch King saw through it, he would never have the chance again! He thought about testing it first, but he didn't expect the Witch King's reaction to be so strong.
"Witch King, please calm down! Please listen to my explanation!" Lu Chun secretly sweated in his heart and gritted his teeth: "Witch King... have you ever heard of Blood Gu Pill?"
"Blood Gu Pill?" Upon hearing this, the Witch King narrowed his eyes and began to ponder.
He remembered that when the old Witch King was here, he once told him some old stories, including the "Blood Gu Pill" mentioned by Lu Chun. It is said that the refining method of this Blood Gu Pill is extremely vicious and requires the use of people's heart and blood, so it is strictly prohibited.
There is a "Gu Blood Pill" in their Wutu Cave, which is improved based on this "Blood Gu Pill". However, the material for refining the Gu Blood Pill is not blood circulation but Gu worms. The pill itself can only be used to fight poison with poison. Works wonders. Therefore, it can only have a significant effect on improving the strength of Wutu Cave people, but to outsiders it is a deadly poison elixir, so that it has never had a good reputation and is often confused by others.
"This Blood Gu Pill is all a matter of Chen Sesame and rotten millet... How did you know?" Although Wei Wuxi didn't care on his face, he was wary in his heart.
"Because this Lu Tong is secretly refining the Blood Gu Pill!" Lu Chun said urgently.
The Witch King was stunned when he heard this, and then burst out laughing, "You said he could refine the Blood Gu Pill, hahaha... That's nonsense! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Not to mention that the recipe for this Blood Gu Pill has long been lost. The Witch King believed that even if someone put the recipe in front of Nalu Tong, the latter would not have the ability to refine it.
"Witch King, you don't have to rush to a conclusion. We will know if it is true or false as soon as we ask!" Lu Chunke said what happened that day with his own eyes, so he was naturally confident.
"Forget it, I will send someone to call him right now. If this matter is serious, Lu Tong will do whatever you want! If not..."
"Lu Chun is at your mercy!"
"Happy!" The Witch King nodded slightly and sent someone to call Lu Tong.
…
"Brother Lu Tong, I was indeed ashamed of you back then! But I have followed you for so many years, and I have never dared to be disobedient. Even if I don't have any merit, I still have hard work... Please look at me and do my best for so many years. Please let me live!"
"Tan Cai, what are you talking about? How could I bear to harm you? Don't worry, I'm doing this all for your own good!" Lu Tong said with a cruel smile, "As long as you take this blood poison pill, I will protect you Will be reborn!"
Tan Cai had been forced in front of the iron cage by Lu Tong, and had no way out. He could only watch as Lu Tong sent a blood poison pill towards him...
"Bang bang bang!" At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the secret room. Lu Tong didn't want to pay attention at first, but the knocking on the door outside became more and more urgent, and he could no longer ignore it.
"You bastard! Didn't I tell you not to disturb me!" Lu Tong's eyes were red, he opened the door to the secret room and shouted sternly.
"Captain Skull, the Witch King is looking for you." Outside the dungeon were the two people with both arms. They heard that the Witch King was summoning Lu Tong, and then they came to report the news.
"Didn't the Witch King tell me to take good care of my injuries? Why did he suddenly come to me again?" After hearing the word "Witch King", Lu Tong's mood instantly calmed down, and he frowned and said, "I understand, please step back..."
After his arms left, Lu Tong's expression became ferocious again: "Damn it... so what about the Witch King, when I refine the Blood Gu Pill, you will all become my slaves..."
After saying that, he turned to look into the secret room and said in a deep voice: "Tan Cai! Come here!"
As if Tan Cai had received amnesty, he felt weak all over. When he heard Lu Tong's call, he stood up excitedly: "Brother Lu Tong, what are your orders?"
"I really can't meet the Witch King like this. You go and help me deal with it first. I have to go back and wash up!" Lu Tong's body was so filthy that even flies would choke when they came near.
Tan Cai didn't react for a moment, and after being stunned for a long time, he looked ecstatic, nodded and said: "Follow...obey..." and then fled from here without looking back.
Perhaps because of his narrow escape, Tan Cai didn't feel tired at all along the way. He looked back nervously as he ran, and it wasn't until he came to the door of the hall that his heart dropped.
"Meet the Witch King..." As soon as Tan Cai entered the hall, he saw an unfamiliar-looking man with a long face standing in front of him, and felt suspicious in his heart. But he only thought that this was the Witch King's guest and did not dare to look at him any further. He hurriedly came to the Witch King's throne to salute.
"Why didn't the skull come?" The Witch King knew that the man in front of him was Lu Tong's follower. The two of them could be said to be walking together like a shadow. At this moment, when he saw Tan Cai but not Lu Tong, the Witch King also felt a little strange.
"Back to the Witch King, Lord Messenger, he is treating the wound and needs to delay for some time, so he asked me to say hello to you in advance..." Tan Cai had already thought of his words.
"How did Lu Tong... get injured?" Lu Chun glanced at the person and realized that he was actually the guy who followed Lu Tong when he was secretly peeping. He wrinkled his nose and found that this person had a faintly familiar smell. He had some guesses in his mind and asked nonchalantly.
Tan Cai didn't expect this man to speak suddenly, so he looked at the Witch King with questions.
"But it doesn't matter, this man is Gu's cousin." Wei Wuxi said calmly.
Tan Cai was a little stunned when he heard this, thinking: The appearance and temperament of these two cousins are too different...
