"Catastrophe, what catastrophe?" Lu Jing raised his eyebrows, "Are you talking about a change of dynasty?"
"I know that Si Tianjian has been around for thousands of years, and the change of dynasties will not affect you," the woman said, "No matter who takes that position, he can't do without you, because he needs you to deal with those weird things for him and protect him. There is stability under the rule, but what is coming this time is not as simple as changing the government."
"what is that?"
The woman took a deep look at Lu Jing and said, "You monks, who use the secret power in the secret realm to practice, have you ever thought about a question... What is at the center of the secret realm?"
"No one has ever truly reached the center of the secret realm," Lu Jing said. "At most, they are extremely close to it."
"Whoever said so, Mr. Ji has been there."
Lu Jing frowned, "So it's his fault that the secret power is declining now?"
"Perhaps my previous statement was not accurate enough. Mr. Ji once inadvertently had a glimpse of what was inside..."
"What did he see?"
The woman suddenly closed her mouth again.
Lu Jing stopped talking nonsense and said straightforwardly, "Tell me your conditions."
"Let me go, stop chasing me, and then kill her." The woman pointed at the girl with a dragon's head bun who was pinned not far away.
The latter also rolled his eyes when he heard this.
It's a pity that because Lu Ding had his mute point hit, he couldn't say a word at the moment.
"She is a demonic witch, and you are a righteous hero. Killing her is a matter of course. Even if word spreads, no one can say anything. And as long as she dies and I take Hongzhu away, what happened here just now will be nothing else." People know.
"Everything can get back on track. You report the story of Zeng Shusheng and the jade bracelet to Si Tianjian and tell them that the mystery has been eliminated. And I will tell you everything I know about the catastrophe. We What do you think about both sides getting what they need?"
The woman suggested.
Lu Jing seemed to be thinking about her request with his head down.
But then he suddenly raised his hand!
However, the woman had seen the power of Feijian before, and had long been prepared for Lu Jing's move. Seeing Lu Jing raise his hand again, she suddenly turned her body and pushed Hongzhu down in front of her.
But the next moment, she saw that Lu Jing's hands were empty... someone just stretched out his hand to tidy up his hair.
The woman was stunned for a moment, confused by Lu Jing's inexplicable behavior.
What is this, just trying to scare people?
But immediately afterwards, there was a sharp pain in her right rib, so much so that she could no longer hold the hairpin in her hand and fell to the ground.
The woman didn't care to look at the injury on her right rib. She endured the pain and wanted to lower her head and pick up the hairpin again. However, how could Lu Jing give her this chance.
But in the time it took to breathe, he was already in front of her.
He picked up Hongzhu in her arms, pushed her gently, and sent her aside. valley
Then Lu Jing did not take action against the woman on the ground, but instead sealed the wounds on her body.
But this sword had obviously injured her internal organs.
That woman was not a member of the martial arts world, her physique was only at the level of an ordinary person, and she had no true energy to protect her body. Judging from the medical skills of this era, she was probably in serious danger.
Seeing the inexplicable confusion in her eyes, Lu Jing sighed, "When I was fighting with that friend from Paradise Palace, I saw you holding Miss Hongzhu hostage, so I tapped her acupuncture points and left a handful of flying needles on her body. Sword, just in case.
"Just now you have been paying full attention to my every move, so I simply used the trick to attract your attention with myself, and then controlled the flying sword to stab you.
"But I didn't want to kill you originally. I aimed at your right arm. Unfortunately, I haven't mastered sword control yet. Without the help of my arm, my accuracy will be worse. Plus, I'm worried about hurting Hongzhu. Girl, this sword was a bit too strong, I'm sorry."
Lu Jing's apology was very sincere.
Finally, he continued to discuss with the other party, "Look, this was an unintentional mistake on my part. I have temporarily sealed your acupuncture points, and I am using my inner strength to kill you. You should still have one or two sticks of incense left." Live, should we continue the previous topic... Also, it seems that I haven’t asked you yet, where are the rare objects you refined by killing people?”
The woman stared at Lu Jing.
"Or if you have any last wishes, you can tell me. Let's make an exchange. I will help you fulfill your last wish and you tell me what I want to know."
The woman finally shook her head with difficulty, "I don't have any last wishes."
"Don't you have any family to take care of?"
"I am a prostitute who was sold into a brothel by my family early on. I have even forgotten my parents' names. Even if they are still alive, they have nothing to do with me."
"What about friends and lovers?"
"What happened to Shusheng Zeng is a lesson learned from the past. Mom actually said it right. In this industry, emotions are the most taboo. People in the world only see that we only care about money and are ruthless and unkind, but they don't know that those who are affectionate and righteous will end up worse than Shusheng Zeng." , I have no lover, and as for friends... they are too luxurious for me."
"Uh...you don't even have anyone you care about?"
"Yes," the woman's eyes lit up again, "Mr. Ji, he gave my empty and thin life meaning, and then gave me the power to change my destiny. Unfortunately... I am still too weak to Even if I have this power, I can’t repay him in return.”
"Although I'm sorry for what happened to you, I think I still have to remind you that you killed fifteen people, and they were fifteen people with the same tragic fate as you." Lu Jingdao.
"This is the price of changing your destiny." The woman said while coughing up blood, "I have no choice, I have to give it a try. I don't want to go on like this anymore. I was already thinking about dying before I met Mr. Ji.
"In this world, there are very few people like him who are willing to set their sights on insignificant poor people like us. I have nothing to lose, so I can sit down at the gambling table of fate and take this last gamble. Already very satisfied.”
Lu Jing didn't know what to say.
He had given up on finding out about the strange object from the woman's mouth or about it being related to the so-called "catastrophe".
But unexpectedly, the woman paused and then said proactively, "I thought about it again, and I really have something to ask you."
"whats the matter?"
"There is a tuozi Li in the back kitchen of Jinlou. He is about fifty years old. He is dark and unremarkable. When I first came to Jinlou, I had a very strong temper. I always wanted to run away. If I was caught, I would I would be locked up for several days, and only he would come to see me and even bring me candy figures.
"If you really think about it, he is the person closest to me in this world. Just tell him that I went home to find my mother and tell him not to worry about me."
