Tufu Hu supported his body and stood up, lamenting that time is not forgiving, and said with a hint of melancholy: "The first-level and third-level fights have ended like this. I lost completely."
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Mu Qing, and said calmly: "Remember that I have been asking you about your relationship with Wanhua Valley? This is not because Hidden Valley wants to know, but I want to know if you have made a deal with me. portion size.”
"Clang." Yue Jiu picked up the sword that fell on the ground. After a beautiful sword flower, she sheathed the sword. He looked at Butcher Hu and asked, "What deal?"
"Ahem." Poisonous blood welled up in his throat again. Butcher Hu did not dare to be careless and quickly said to Mu Qing: "To show my sincerity, I will first take back the true meaning of Shura in your body, and you will also give me the antidote to this poison." Medicine, how about it?”
Although the taste of the blunt knife in the body is unpleasant, it can be tolerated, but if Wanhua Valley is shrouded in a layer of unclear haze, it is absolutely intolerable. Mu Qingxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded slowly: "Okay. "
After a while, Butcher Hu closed his eyes slightly, feeling the relaxation and ease in his body, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "What kind of poison is this, and it can be controlled so freely?"
After hearing this, Mu Qing shook his head and said nothing.
When he didn't know about the poisonous green energy, he could rely on his innate clean body to transform poisons and accumulate pure internal energy. Over the years, he didn't know why, but he had known it for a long time, and he had already known how to use that special internal energy. Now, With the "Ten Thousand Poisons Manual", it will naturally become more convenient.
To show his sincerity, Butcher Hu took the lead in taking away the true meaning of Shura from Mu Qing. Although his body felt a little more relaxed, after two consecutive battles, one was stronger than the other, the accumulation of injuries on his body was not optimistic.
He was less than two arms' length away from Butcher Hu. If Butcher Hu made a move at this time, he would have no backhand power. Thinking of this, Mu Qing remained vigilant in silence.
Butcher Hu looked at the tattered clothes on Mu Qing's body and the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. He couldn't help but laugh at himself. He was the one who was hurt the least now, but if he hadn't offered to reconcile, he would have been the first to die. undoubtedly. Seeing that Mu Qing remained silent, knowing that this should be the other party's cultivation secret, Butcher Hu stopped asking further questions.
Mu Qing just didn't understand the true meaning of the Great Dao, so he was helpless with these things that originated from the Great Dao. If he found a master of the same level, he could easily force out the true meaning of Shura in his body.
When Butcher Hu thought of this, he felt that he had taken advantage. He glanced at Ling Qingzhu calmly, guessing the other party's intentions, but he said frankly to Mu Qing and Yue Jiu: "Now that the matter has come to this, I won't What nonsense are you talking about? I came here this time on Jiang Shangxiu’s behalf.”
"Jiang Shangxiu?" Yue Jiu's reaction was much greater than that of Mu Qing. He frowned and remembered the letter Lu Fei gave him, which contained Jiang Shangxiu's promise to him.
Yue Jiu was still wondering at the time. He was ranked third on the Assassin Ranking and could receive all A-level missions on Liu Ye Lu. Why was it only a mission classified as "B or above" on Liu Ye Lu? He's such a big commitment.
Now that I am still alive, looking back, I can see that it was just like poison bait.
Now that the task cannot be completed, Yue Jiu will not regret it, but what is Jiang Shangxiu's next move? Or should he send a killer with the level of Hu Butcher to drive him to death?
Mu Qing didn't have as complicated a mental journey as Yue Jiu. He glanced at Yue Jiu's gloomy expression, looked at Butcher Hu and asked, "Is it Jiang Shangxiu, the great deacon of our assassin lineage?"
"Yeah." Butcher Hu said softly: "We old guys prefer to call him Jiang Erdai when we meet him. Speaking of which, this guy looks more and more like Jiang Xingyuan in the early years."
Mu Qing shook his head, not wanting to pay attention to these gossips, and asked directly: "What does Jiang Shangxiu want you to do?"
Butcher Hu blinked and said softly: "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind him. He asked me to be an oriole. If Yue Jiu kills you, then I will kill him. If you kill him, I won't care." At that time, I was also wondering about the other party’s true intention. When I heard your previous conversation, I thought it might have something to do with Ten Thousand Flowers Valley.”
Mu Qing and Yue Jiu looked at each other, and they could see the understanding and anger in their eyes. Mu Qing nodded and said: "It seems that the facts are not much different from what we expected before. If you die in my hands, with your The relationship with my senior sister, and the relationship between me and Wanhua Valley will never be restored to the past even if it is not broken."
Mu Qing glanced at Butcher Hu, and then continued to Yue Jiu: "But why is the other party so intent on killing you? Send a first-level master to kill you? I still have a glimmer of hope today. If not for an accident, I'm afraid you will die. Twice."
Yue Jiu could understand what Mu Qing meant. Even if Mu Qing let him go, as long as Mu Qing left and Butcher Hu hid until the end, he would definitely die.
Thinking of this, Yue Jiu's eyes lit up and she glanced at Butcher Hu: "This does mean that this man has his own ideas."
Shaking her head, Yue Jiu explained with a wry smile: "I haven't taken on a mission from Liuyelu for a few years. This time I took on the mission against the caravan because Jiang Shangxiu agreed that after completing this mission, I could escape from the hidden world." The Gu Assassin lineage regains their free status."
"Free status." After listening to the conversation between the two juniors, Butcher Hu said in a melancholy tone: "I am over fifty and I still don't have true freedom..."
He thought of the various calculations that Yue Jiu had encountered, and couldn't help but think of the human nightmare ten years ago. He strengthened his guess, and his tone became much colder, "The deal I want to make with you is also related to this matter."
"Ten years ago, I also wanted to leave Hidden Valley. That old bastard Jiang Xingyuan also promised me that as long as I complete one more secret-level mission, I can leave Hidden Valley and regain my free status."
"But when I returned home after completing my last mission as an assassin, my wife and daughter were missing their heads and were standing behind the door lintel staring at me with empty and frightened eyes..."
There is a wind blowing deep in the forest, weeping and complaining, and the gloomy and hoarse voice becomes the main theme.
Butcher Hu said softly to himself: "My injury finally broke out at that moment. I have no realm, but it is difficult to reach the peak. But this is not the most painful thing for me. The most painful thing is when I came to Qingchuanguan Town Not long after that, the Hidden Valley Assassins approached me directly. They gave me a medicine called Wanhuadan, which they said could help me stabilize my state and suppress old illnesses, but asked me to do one thing for them every year in the future. , I only thought about avenging my wife and daughter after I recovered from my injuries, so I agreed to them, but I didn’t expect that I would still be controlled by them.”
Mu Qing stood aside and listened quietly. After digesting it for a while, he finally understood the key point of what Butcher Hu said. He said softly: "I know about Wanhua Dan. You must first prepare various spiritual herbs and anthers for use as medicine. Then we take the essence by category, use a unique secret method, practice the necessary way, and turn the elixir fire nine times, and finally succeed. This requires very high pharmacological literacy and extremely meticulous and conscientious techniques, and even one of the hundred furnaces can be made. It’s a waste. It’s extremely precious indeed.”
"It's just," Mu Qing paused for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Wanhuadan is a magical medicine. It doesn't say it can cure all diseases, but it has miraculous effects on most diseases. Why did you end up in Hidden Valley instead? Controlled?"
Butcher Hu shook his head and said with a hint of regret: "The elixir is indeed the best medicine. I guess they mixed the elixir they gave me with something I don't know about. At a certain time every other year, , as long as I don’t eat, I will fall instantly and my whole body will hurt like an axe.”
Butcher Hu felt much more relaxed when talking about this than before. Remembering that Mu Qing had such a detailed understanding of Wanhua Dan, he could not help but confirm softly: "It seems that your relationship with Wanhua Valley is indeed extraordinary."
Yue Jiu nodded and looked at Mu Qing with some suspicion.
Mu Qing raised his sword eyebrows, his eyes were bright, he raised his chin slightly, and said with a touch of pride, "My sister can also refine the Ten Thousand Flower Pills now, so of course I understand."
Seeing the light in Butcher Hu's eyes, Mu Qing asked him: "Do you hope to get the Ten Thousand Flowers Pill through us?"
Butcher Hu nodded and said: "It's great to get the Wanhua Dan, but I hope you can solve my hidden dangers."
Mu Qing shook his head, stared at Butcher Hu and asked word by word: "Since it is a transaction, what can we get?"
"free."
"free?"
"Yes." Butcher Hu first glanced at Yue Jiu, then turned to Mu Qing and said seriously: "Help each other and escape from the Hidden Valley. This is my most sincere deal and commitment."
Yue Jiu hesitated and said: "However, according to the habit of Hidden Valley, they must have sent eyes. When we leave the Xingchui Forest, the news will be spread back to Hidden Valley soon. I am afraid that our transaction will not start before Died in infancy.”
"It doesn't matter." Ling Qingzhu, who had been sitting quietly on the side, whispered with interest: "No pair of eyes within a hundred miles of the area dares to come here, let alone peep close."
Only then did Mu Qing realize that Ling Qingzhu, as the most mysterious woman in the room, had been ignored by everyone. He looked at Liu Weirui's confused thoughts and couldn't help but suggest: "Although this place is quiet, it is not a good place to talk about things. This place is not far from Qingchuan Pass. Everyone needs a quiet and comfortable environment. Why not go back and recuperate for a day?"
Butcher Hu did not immediately respond to Mu Qing's suggestion. He walked slowly to Liu Weirui and others. Ling Qingzhu gently held his granddaughter's hand and asked calmly: "What do you want to do?"
"Mrs. Lin." Butcher Hu leaned forward slightly and said, "One thing comes to one. I have reconciled frankly with those younger generations, but I have not yet resolved the conflict with the Lin family in Xishan. I am willing to give an explanation for the matter of imprisoning the Lin family for worship."
"Oh?" A glimmer of light flashed in Ling Qingzhu's eyes. This kind of charlatanism was much more sophisticated.
She raised her bright eyebrows slightly, glanced at Mu Qing, and said in a cold tone: "The two brothers of the Zhang family were originally worshiped by the Lin family. They were defeated by you because they were not as strong as others. I will not blame you for this." For you."
"It's just." Ling Qingzhu's sharp, knife-like eyes passed over the two brothers who were burying their heads and necking, then fell gently on Liu Weirui's body, and continued: "They were originally sent by me to pick up Weirui, but they were killed by you Trapped, Wei Rui is in danger, let Wei Rui make the decision on this matter."
"Me?" Liu Weirui showed a slight difference. She turned her eyes around Mu Qing and the others a few times, shook her head and said softly: "Forget it, I'm not injured, but Mu Qing was seriously injured, so forget it if he doesn't say anything. .”
After going round and round and returning to his body, Mu Qing smiled apologetically at Liu Weirui and said seriously: "It is often said in the world that if you don't fight, you won't get to know each other. Today's experience is considered wonderful, so let's go back first. I I just have a few questions to ask senior."
"Just call me Butcher Hu, I'm used to it." Butcher Hu smiled slightly and expressed his gratitude to Mu Qing for his rescue.
"No, I thought of a problem." Yue Jiu did not immediately agree to return for a detailed discussion. He looked at Mu Qing and said, "I won't be discovered at this time, but as long as I show up in Qingchuan Pass Town, I can't hide it."
"Yes." Butcher Hu praised Yue Jiu's acumen and said softly: "The key point of whether our transaction can be hidden is that I have to play my role well first, so Yue Jiu has to die."
Before Mu Qing's frown deepened, Butcher Hu explained: "Fake death."
He looked at Yue Jiu and said: "Only if you fake your death and disappear, our deal can be hidden underwater, which requires some sacrifices on your part."
"What kind of sacrifice?" Yue Jiu's state of mind was extremely clear at this moment, and all that was rippling in the lake of her heart were the beautiful faces of beautiful women.
"You just disappeared and blended into the Liu family's caravan."
"no problem."
"Besides, you have to leave your sword to me."
"My sword..."
