In the evening, Wan Jun finally saw Jin Qiu again. She went through an extremely secret back door. If Yu Duan hadn't mentioned it in advance, he might not have noticed that there was a secret passage here.
Yu Duan said that women who enter the Hongzhuang Hall cannot leave, and if they escape, they will only be caught and killed, but Jin Qiu is different, she is special.
When Jin Qiu saw Wan Jun, she was not surprised, rather she felt expected. She took off the bamboo hat on her head, and the black robe wrapped her tightly, making it almost impossible to see her original appearance.
appearance.
She took off her robe, put it on the shelf aside, and asked casually: "Why aren't you waiting for me in the room?"
The location of this secret cultivation place is hidden, but the disadvantage is that it is sealed and airtight, and there are various smells floating in the air. It really doesn't smell good, but Jinqiu's face remains as usual, as if he has been used to it for a long time.
Wan Jun said nothing, his eyes fell on Jin Qiu, as if he was still guessing about her identity.
Jin Qiu put down her robe and looked at him. Seeing how he was thinking, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Are you guessing my identity? No need to guess, it's just as you thought."
Wan Jun was not surprised. The information he got from Yu Duan gave him a preliminary guess, but this guess was not confirmed until now.
"What is your relationship with the Earth Mother?"
This was the only question that Wan Jun did not guess, because Jinqiu's actions did not fall into any of the situations he had guessed, whether he was an affiliate or an enemy, it did not fit.
Jinqiu looked around and smiled helplessly: "Do you want me to tell you the truth here?"
The two of them changed places, and when they came out, it was already dinner time. People were sitting quietly in the hall as always. Yu Duan nodded to Wan Jin, and Lian Ruyi's red lips curled up slightly, looking at the two of them with interest.
Ning Xiaoye was still sitting in that position, looking at the food on the table in a daze. She naturally trusted Wan Jun's ability and believed that he could handle the task well.
Jin Qiu waved to the two of them and took Wan Jin upstairs. Yu Duan watched the two of them leave and announced that it was time to eat. No one raised any doubts and started to eat in a polite manner.
In Jinqiu's room, the two of them were sitting opposite each other, one of them expressionless, the other half-smiling.
Jin Qiu always had an indifferent look on weekdays. Although Wan Jun knew that she was actually a gentle person, this was the first time that she could express her laughter like this. There was some relief-like joy in her smile, and her tone of voice
They are all much lighter.
"I'm very happy that you can come here." After a while, Jinqiu spoke. She looked at Wan Chan. This attitude was different from Wan Chan's imagination, which made him a little confused.
Wan Jun asked doubtfully: "Do you know what I am here for?"
Jin Qiu nodded and said: "I know, kill the Earth Mother. Many of you have come before, but they have not come to Hongzhuang Hall with wrong information or even information that they don't know where they came from."
Without collecting them, I went straight towards Jade Temple Mountain, but of course I was killed by the Earth Mother who was very skillful."
After she finished speaking, she reluctantly added: "Not a single one is left."
Wan Jun fell silent. There were also many disciples from Shangxing Tiangong who took over the task. Hearing Jin Qiu say this, I really felt a little... embarrassed.
"By the way, didn't you ask about my identity?" Jinqiu held her head, throwing away her pretense of indifference. Her expression was as delicate as a girl's. No, she was a girl.
"Yes." Wan Jun returned, "Are you working for the Earth Mother, or are you not?"
"I belong to the Earth Mother. How should I put it? I can be regarded as a puppet controlled by her."
Jinqiu dropped a bombshell in her understatement. She pretended not to see Wan Jun's surprise and continued, "The Mother Earth has the power to control people's hearts. It controls Yu Qintian..."
Ah, it’s Yu Duan’s crazy father, and I can be considered one of the people controlled by it, and my duty is to stop providing stable sacrifices to it.”
"But I'm different from that lunatic Yu Qintian. I'm not completely controlled. I still have my own memories and thoughts. Although I have to be used by the Earth Mother, I can also take advantage of some loopholes and barely maintain the current balance.
.”
In other words, the number of women who died in Hongzhuangtang has decreased, which is the result of Jinqiu's balance. Without her, I am afraid that there will be no one left in Hongzhuangtang. If some people die in front of them, I am afraid that there will be another one.
A group of innocent women were sent and fell into a nightmare again.
"But my ability is limited, so I have been waiting for a third party to appear to break this deadlock and rescue innocent people like us."
Jinqiu has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, but those people before were no match for the Earth Mother Empress. In just a few contacts, their minds were manipulated and they became the Earth Mother Empress's puppets. Until this time, she saw Wan Jun
.
Wan Jun was special, Jin Qiu understood it at just one glance. She kept hinting at Wan Jun, and she was waiting for the day when he would find her.
Well, it would be best if Wan Jun could understand, but if he is confused, then he probably can't place his hopes on him.
However, it seems that Jinqiu is still lucky, because Wan Jun did understand her hint and did what she wished.
Jin Qiu said this, what else does Wan Jun not understand? He has been set up by this woman since he entered the Hongzhuang Hall. But he doesn't hate it, after all, it is not a bad thing to cooperate with smart people.
So, he asked: "What do you want me to do."
"It's very simple."
Jinqiu squinted her eyes and laughed. No matter how he looked at it, Wan Jun felt that there was some ill-intention in her smile. He shuddered for no reason, and suddenly felt that cooperating with Jinqiu was not a good decision.
"what are you up to?"
The sixth sense belonging to the sword cultivator told Wan Xun that Jin Qiu's idea was very dangerous. He stood up, his voice turning several degrees colder.
Jin Qiu felt funny in her heart. Different from the previous show where she pretended to be shy, Wan Jun was really flustered now, but she didn't dare to laugh out loud, and even pretended to be indifferent as she revealed her plan.
"The Earth Mother Empress relies on sucking the souls of mortals to practice cultivation. I used to use those dead women to fill the gap, but what she likes most is fresh souls. If there are fresh souls for her to eat, she will definitely enjoy it and lower her guard.
.”
"If you want to get close to her, the only way is to get close to her while she is eating, but she hates men so much that only women can get close to her..."
Jin Qiu raised her eyes and cast her clear gaze on Wan Chan. Wan Chan didn't understand the meaning of her words and froze in place.
Jin Qiu knew that he could not accept this task, so he did not dare to say anything and just waited patiently for his reaction.
After a long while, Wan Chan said word by word: "You mean, you want me to pretend to be a woman, go to that land mother, and then kill her?"
Jinqiu heard the gritted teeth in his words, and was afraid that he would give up the mission and run away in a hurry, so he quickly and carefully coaxed: "This is the best way at the moment. Don't worry, I will never tell anyone. I will wait for you."
Once the mother-in-law dies, this matter will also disappear."
Wan Jun's body stiffened and he didn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until sunset and moonrise that Jin Qiu thought he was going to refuse, when Wan Jun spoke.
"good."
Jin Qiu was stunned for a moment, but then realized that he had agreed. She was overjoyed, but noticed Wan Jun's face and quickly stopped smiling.
"I will make arrangements for the rest. When it is the customary day for me to deliver the body in seven days, I will ask you to take action..."
"tomorrow."
"What?" Jinqiu didn't react for a while, but then she understood that he said he would go tomorrow, and he hesitated: "Yes, but I only sent it once today... The most important thing is, don't you need to prepare it?
?Although the mother-in-law there is not as strong as you, it is still very difficult."
She said this tactfully, but when Wan Jun thought about the seven days of suffering, he just wanted to kill in front of the Earth Mother immediately, but for the sake of the plan, he could only endure it until tomorrow.
"Just tomorrow, it's just a monster."
After he said that, he turned around and left, walking very freely and freely. If Jin Qiu hadn't seen him going in the wrong direction when he went out, she would have thought he was so indifferent.
Jin Qiu originally thought that something would happen if he was so reckless, but seeing him so uncomfortable, what she was thinking about was that it was really difficult for him to pretend to be a woman.
However, tomorrow is not impossible...
Jinqiu thought about it, rummaged through her drawers, and then opened the closet to think.
Can that person wear her clothes?
On the other side, someone was sitting by the window. The window was open, and the sky was unobstructed. The bright moon and stars hung in the night sky. The cool breeze blew the person's long hair, and the hair fell on her red lips.
A water mirror appeared in front of her. The water mirror fluctuated for a while, and finally revealed a familiar face. The man asked.
"What's wrong?"
"Yes, he is a smart boy. If everything goes well, it will be over tomorrow. But do you really want him to take risks? The mother of the land has absorbed a lot of souls recently and has become a lot stronger. Although your disciple
He is talented and intelligent, but he is still a child after all.”
The person in the mirror laughed, not caring about her worries, "He is not an ordinary child, he is my disciple, and he will become the first swordsman to transcend tribulations and become immortals in the future. These are just training for him.
.”
"Besides, there's still you, right?"
She suddenly felt a little helpless. It turned out that she was regarded as a guardian, but it was indeed the duty of people like them to protect the seedlings that had not grown yet. However, she was a little unhappy at being used as a tool in the calculation.
"Do you know what your disciple's plan is for tomorrow?"
"Oh? There's still a plan? I've never heard of this. Let me tell you."
She chuckled lightly, with uncontrollable gloating hidden in her voice, "He wants to pretend to be a woman to get close to the mother-in-law."
"This..." The person in the mirror was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. While laughing, he said, "You are really a bad person."
"But anyway, there are many things in the world that cannot be achieved by brute force. Sometimes a moderate amount of cleverness is also necessary. I think after this time, he will understand this truth."
"Your master is quite tolerant."
"That's right." She seemed to remember something, and then said: "After this time, I will accept a disciple. You have to prepare the gifts. When you accepted the disciple, I was bleeding heavily. This time, you can only accept more, and no more."
Shao. My disciples naturally want the best."
"Okay, okay." The person in the mirror said helplessly, "Are you going to accept a disciple? What's his name?"
"She." She chuckled and said, "Her name is Zhu Shu."
