Chapter 75: Bright Moon and Qinglian
In an inconspicuous ordinary house, two old men in gray stood and sat at the same time. Those who sat were calm and calm, while those who stood were paced non-stop.
"I said, Senior Brother, why can you still sit down? If we don't find a way to leave, we're afraid we won't be able to leave in a few days!"
The speaker is the fat old man among the two elders of Xuanyuan.
"What a panic, it's very safe here, no one can find it." The thin old man opened his eyes for a long time and glanced at his somewhat anxious junior brother: "Besides, do you think it's easy to leave now? I dare say that Xiao Bufan must be looking for our whereabouts everywhere! If he appears rashly, it will be what he wants."
The fat old man said with some complaints: "So, why do you have to kill that kid now? What are the chances in the future? It's good now, it makes us so embarrassed now! If the head of the Lu family had notified us in advance and prepared such a secret place, I'm afraid Xiao Bufan would have found us long ago!"
"Hmph, why kill now?" The thin old man gritted his teeth and said, "You don't think about it. When did I ever get such a bird's aura? I finally accepted a disciple with high qualifications and talents. I have worked hard to cultivate for more than 20 years, and how much hard work it has cost me! How much money! Now I have been beaten by others and have lost all my confidence and arrogance. I am confused like an idiot. It has produced an indelible inner demon. The road to martial arts is destroyed all the time! You said, how can I swallow this tone? How can I not avenge this hatred?!"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, his face gradually became ferocious, and his fists were clenched: "I wish I could peel off the skin and bones of that brat, eat his flesh, break up his soul, and let him never be reborn, so that I could relieve my hatred!"
When the fat old man saw that his senior brother was really angry, he felt a little frightened and said weakly: "Then why did you use poison to Hai Wuya? If you provoke him, it would be like causing Xiao Bufan. Are we more troublesome?"
"No matter who it is, as long as it stops me, he deserves his bad luck! Hai Wuya relies on his cultivation level to be higher than us, and he dares to take action for that boy without knowing his own life and death. This is what he asked for!" The thin old man was still angry: "This time he was hit by my Seven Secret Cold Poison, I think he can live to the end! As for Xiao Bufan, huh, don't be afraid, I have sent a message to the great elder to inform the situation here. When he comes, we will no longer have to hide like this!"
"By the way..." The fat old man suddenly remembered something: "Xue Cheng doesn't know what's going on now, I always feel that this guy is unreliable!"
"You still have to ask!" The thin old man said a little bit regretful: "Have you heard from the people who came to report the news from the Lu family? Xiao Bufan and Hai Wuya and the others joined forces to deal with the two envoys, and Xue Cheng would naturally understand what was going on. What I am worried about now is that he would say something to Xiao Bufan. In this way, Lu Chengding would be in a little trouble!"
"You said, can the two messengers escape?"
The thin old man shook his head slowly: "I think it's so bad. Xiao Bufan and the others may not be able to stop him. In addition, those three old guys and so many soldiers are so scary this time!"
The fat old man said, "It's all Lu Chengding! With his current identity and status, he is not satisfied. He insists on being a city lord and let the two messengers do such a thing. Now, the son is gone, and the matter is not done. It's really a mutton that has not been eaten, but he's all over!"
"You're wronged him."
"Oh? Isn't that the case?"
The thin old man twisted his beard and smiled: "Of course not. Do you think he could have ordered two envoys?! Tell you, killing those aristocratic families is completely the two envoys who were ordered to act!"
"What the hell is going on? Senior brother, tell me quickly!"
"You! You don't care about anything in normal times, so you still have to let me say it in the end!" The thin old man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I guess there might be some big moves above, so the two envoys deliberately did this. On the one hand, they could restrain a lot of money, and on the other hand, they could force Xiao Bufan to step down with the hands of the Holy Imperial City, and then push Lu Chengding to the seat of the city lord. In this way, not only does it lack one resistance, but it also makes things more convenient and smooth!"
The fat old man immediately woke up and realized: "So that's how it is!"
"It's not just these!" The thin old man looked at him and continued, "The above also wanted to take the opportunity to arrange people to go to the first floor and comprehend the Chaos Divine Monument. This time Feibai and Wanlong and Wanhu participated in the competition on behalf of the Canglin Martial Arts Academy. This was the decision made by the great elder after hearing the above meaning."
When he talked about Jiang Feibai, he couldn't help but feel angry again.
Seeing that he was going to get angry again, the fat old man quickly changed the topic: "When will the Great Elder come?"
"Don't worry, it will be very fast."
...
...
At night, Daoyuan sat quietly beside Hai Wuya, with a worried face.
"Sword Spirit, can't you even see the poison in the Sea Courtyard?"
A phantom flashed, and the ethereal figure of the sword spirit appeared in the house.
"The poison he was in is made up of seven kinds of yin and cold objects, invisible, colorless, rootless and without a source. There are at least hundreds of ways to refine this poison. Unless the poison is personally named the name of the poison used, it will be difficult for outsiders to know!"
"Then can you use the method of crossing the golden needle acupoints you mentioned again? In three days, if the two elders Xuanyuan want to hide, I am afraid that City Lord Xiao will find them difficult."
"No." Jian Ling's head shook like a rattle, and said affirmatively: "He used to use his power too much, and the poisonous gas had penetrated deep into the internal organs. Now the golden needle sealed his bloodline and prevented the poisonous gas from continuing to erode. Judging from his current cultivation level, three days is already the limit. If it takes longer, his body will not be able to bear it. At that time, even if he finds the medicine for understanding, he will become a useless person because his bloodline has been sealed for too long! You don't have to think about this."
"Is there no other way?"
"That's all up to his luck!"
...
Two days passed, and Xiao Bufan, who was in the office of the Ministry of War, still did not receive any news about the two elders of Xuanyuan in the city. The soldiers guarding the city did not find suspicious figures, which made him feel a little restless. He saw that there was only one day left, and if he could not find the antidote, Hai Wuyake would be really dangerous.
These two **** had not closed their eyes, but they did not show any signs of fatigue. Looking at the dim sky, they resolutely said to themselves: "Brother Hai, if you have any accidents this time, Xiao swore that he would rather be inappropriate than killing the Xuantian Sword Sect and take back the heads of the two elders Xuanyuan to avenge you!"
At this time, a person ran in at the gate of the Ministry of War, and it was the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Bufan frowned and said, "Uncle Feng, why are you here?"
This person has been in the Xiao Mansion for decades, older than Xiao Bufan. He has always worked diligently and worked hard, so everyone in the Xiao Mansion respects him Bo Feng.
"The master hasn't been home for two days. The lady came to me to ask, but I saw if there is any news."
The Xiao Mansion is not close to the Ministry of War. Uncle Feng ran all the way, but his face was not blushing or breathing. It seemed that he was also a person with mysterious skills.
Seeing Xiao Bufan shook his head, Feng Bo sighed slightly, and then said, "By the way, Messenger Xue went to the mansion the day before yesterday and said he wanted to see the master, look..."
As soon as Xue Cheng was mentioned, Xiao Bufan's face suddenly sank: "If it weren't for him, how could the Lord of the Sea become like this! Tell him that I don't have time to go back and if I want to see me, I will let him come to the Ministry of War."
Xiao Bufan was so angry that he hated Xue Cheng that his teeth were itchy, but he also knew that although this person had a good cultivation level, he had little experience and had no knowledge, otherwise he would not have been fooled easily. Moreover, as his identity, since he had already known his mistake, Xiao Bufan would not be able to pursue it more.
Sure enough, shortly after Uncle Feng returned, Xue Cheng came to the Ministry of War.
"Xue is waiting for your house for two days. Butler Feng told me that he realized that City Lord Xiao had been here..."
Xiao Bufan said coldly: "Messenger Xue, are you asking me for trouble?"
"This..." Xue Cheng said awkwardly: "One of the reason is to apologize, and two of the reason is to see how things are going?"
As a messenger, he was a fellow comrade with Xiao Bufan. Now he actually helped outsiders to deal with his own people. Even if he was bewitched, if the news spread to the Holy Imperial City, then his job was over. He finally got to this position. He didn't want to throw it away just like that. Thinking of his previous attitude towards Xiao Bufan, Xue Cheng's regrets now is almost blue.
"If you apologize for guilt, please forgive me. Please don't trust others easily in the future, and do things wrongly, so as not to cause trouble."
"Yes, yes, what Lord Xiao taught me is! Xue will definitely not repeat the same mistakes in the future!"
Xue Cheng's attitude was extremely respectful, which made Xiao Bufan have no excuses to take the opportunity to get angry.
For a moment, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
After hesitating for a long time, Xue Cheng finally gritted his teeth: "Mr. Xue knows that the fact of the Master of the Sea this time has a lot to do with me, so in order to redeem my sins a little..." He turned his palm and a lotus with gentle and gentle light appeared in front of Xiao Bufan: "Please look at Lord Xiao."
"This is... Tianbing Jade Lotus!" Xiao Bufan stood up from the chair, and an unbelievable divine light flashed in his eyes.
Xue Cheng hurriedly said, "No, no, no, don't misunderstand me, don't misunderstand me, Xue wouldn't have such a magical object? This object is called Haoyue Qinglian, and it ranks 68 in rare magical medicines, which is 108,000 miles worse than Tianbing Jade Lotus! However, it was also what I had spent a huge price to get it. If it weren't for making up for the mistakes made by Xue, I wouldn't have taken it out no matter what I said!"
Xiao Bufan could see that Xue Cheng was telling the truth. He understood from his reluctance and pain in his face.
"You mean, give this thing to the owner of the Sea to relieve the poison he was in?" When looking at Xue Cheng again, Xiao Bufan suddenly realized that this guy actually... seemed... not that annoying either.
"Not bad!" Xue Cheng put Haoyue Qinglian heavily on the table, looking afraid that he would regret it: "I dare not say that it will definitely detach his poison, but it will definitely help."
"It's not too late. Xiao quickly sent it to the Martial Arts Academy. Thank you for your thanks..."
