When Suzaku finished his work, it was already dusk.
The venom sneaked into the body. If it were an ordinary person, she would have died long ago. She has been using her internal strength to protect her heart. After Qin Xiao helped take out the arrow, although she used her internal strength to force out the poison, it was still time-consuming to completely remove the venom from her body.
Extremely long.
Although the venom in the body was almost completely eliminated, the depletion of zhenqi was extremely serious, and Suzaku was already exhausted and very weak.
It was quiet all around, and Suzaku couldn't help but look toward the door.
After Qin Xiao went out to take the arrows in the morning, he did not come back in. It was already dusk and daytime, and there was no movement outside. This made Suzaku couldn't help but wonder whether Qin Xiao had left.
She reluctantly stood up, feeling quite weak all over her body.
Even though he is at the sixth level of cultivation, in order to force out the poison, he consumes too much infuriating energy.
In order to force out the poison and save your life, even if you exhaust your inner strength, it is still worth it.
However, it will take at least three to five days to recover the lost energy this time.
At this moment, Suzaku was at her weakest, and the appearance of a few forbidden soldiers might kill her.
She walked slowly to the door, hesitated for a moment, finally opened the door, leaned out, and looked around. There was no one in the corridor. For some reason, she felt a little disappointed in her heart. She frowned and was about to go back to the house. Suddenly
I remembered that Qin Xiao had said before that he would stay in the next room.
She pondered for a moment, and finally walked to the next room. Seeing that the door was ajar, she hesitated and knocked lightly.
Soon, a sound was heard in the house, and then the door was opened. When Qin Xiao appeared in front of him, Suzaku felt quite relieved.
Although Zhuque looked indifferent, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Fortunately, Qin Xiao had already taken the lead and asked: "How?"
"It's almost, nothing serious." Zhuque said, "It's getting dark soon, what are your plans?"
Qin Xiao didn't answer but asked: "Are you hungry?"
Qin Xiao didn't ask if she was okay. After asking, Zhuque really felt a little hungry in her belly and her mouth was dry. Not only did she consume a lot of energy, but her physical strength was also severely depleted. At this time, she only felt weak and weak.
An appetizing aroma came from nowhere, adding to the feeling of hunger.
But it was difficult for her to answer directly.
"Come in." Qin Xiao turned around and entered the house and said: "I know that after you exercise your power, you must have consumed a lot of physical strength and you must replenish your energy, so I have prepared wine and food." Looking back, he saw Zhuque standing outside the door and not coming in, and said:
"What are you doing standing around? Come in."
Suzaku's status in Dongji Tianzhai is second only to Hong Tianji. In the past ten years, she has given orders on Penglai Island. Even the other members of the Nine Birds of the Dao Sect are in awe of her.
At this time, Qin Xiao's tone seemed to be giving orders to her, which made Zhuque startled at first and frowned, but he still entered the house and heard Qin Xiao say: "Close the door." But he turned around and closed the door involuntarily.
There are also many wooden boxes placed in this room, but Qin Xiao has put two wooden boxes together to form a small table. He found a piece of brocade cloth from nowhere and spread it on it.
Suzaku walked over slowly and saw that Qin Xiao had taken out a huge food box. After opening the food box, he took out the dishes from inside like magic. In a moment, five or six dishes were put on the table.
It is meaty and vegetarian, with a fragrant aroma.
Suzaku's throat moved slightly and he couldn't help but ask: "Where did you get it from?"
"Imperial dining room." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Besides the imperial dining room, where else can I go?"
Zhuque asked in surprise: "You went to the imperial dining room?" "You can't wait to be hungry." After Qin Xiao laid out the dishes, he took out the dishes. Although the environment was simple, the wine, dishes, dishes, and dishes looked like furnishings of a noble family.
Banquet, "And you have lost too much. If you don't replenish your energy, it will not do any good to the injury." He took two small wine bottles and put them away, then raised his hand and said: "Sit down and eat."
Zhuque looked at Qin Xiao with a hint of suspicion, but still walked over and sat down across from each other.
Qin Xiao picked up the empty bowl, filled it with half a bowl of soup and handed it over, saying: "This is ginseng and black chicken soup. It is very nourishing. I specially selected this soup for you to replenish your vitality."
Suzaku was stunned for a moment, then finally reached out to take it, holding the spoon, and was about to eat it, but Qin Xiao had already asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that the soup is poisonous?"
Zhuque raised his head and glared at Qin Xiao. Although his face was cold, his glare was charming.
Qin Xiao stopped being polite and picked up his chopsticks to eat. While eating, he said: "I don't feel much about other things in the palace, but the food and wine in the imperial dining room are really good. You must also be in the imperial dining room to provide food and drinks. How do you feel?"
"I don't feel it." Suzaku said calmly: "Food is just a tool to replenish physical strength. If you care too much about its taste, it will distract your energy."
Qin Xiao was startled, then smiled and said: "Now I finally understand why you are the person with the highest cultivation level among the disciples of Tianzhai. You don't want to focus on unimportant things." What came to mind, he asked: "Yes.
Okay, I have a question, it may be a bit presumptuous, don’t take it off.”
"If I don't answer the questions I don't want to answer, I won't be offended."
"Your Dongji Tianzhai should belong to the Taoist sect, right?"
"yes!"
"Aren't Taoist disciples monks?" Qin Xiao said: "I just remembered now that you are a disciple of Tianzhai, so you should also be a monk. Monks... can monks eat meat?"
However, Zhuque picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the dish, and explained: "Dongji Tianzhai belongs to the Zhengyi sect, and the founder of the sect is Zhang Daoling. The Zhengyi sect can eat meat, but they use Sanjing meat."
"Three Pure Kills?"
"Don't see killing, don't hear killing, don't kill for yourself!" Suzaku said succinctly.
Qin Xiao said with a smile: "I can't see or hear. I didn't kill him. Such meat and fish can be eaten. That's it."
"The Zhengyi sect is different from the Quanzhen sect." Zhuque said: "The Quanzhen sect abstains from eating meat and fish. Almost all the Taoist cultivators in the north are the Quanzhen sect. The power of the Zhengyi sect is not as powerful as that of the Quanzhen sect. They are mainly distributed in the south. Our east
Jitianzhai belongs to the Zhengyi sect."
Qin Xiao said: "I understand. So should I call you Fairy Girl?"
Suzaku didn't take care of it. She just ate vegetables to replenish her strength without being polite.
"Sister Zhuque, a righteous sect can eat meat, so...can I get married?" Qin Xiao sent a wine flask to Zhuque and asked softly: "Have you ever gotten married?"
Suzaku was very calm and asked: "Does this have anything to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm just curious, feel free to ask."
Qin Xiao thought to himself that if the Zhengyi sect banned marriage, it would be a pity for Suzaku.
Although she is not young, she is still charming, with exquisite facial features, fair skin, and a plump figure. When she was young, she must have been one of the most beautiful women in a thousand. If she had not been married, she would have regretted wasting her wealth.
But thinking about it carefully, Qin Xiao felt that it was really possible that Zhuque was still an old girl.
Hong Tianji retreated to Penglai Island twenty years ago. At that time, Suzaku was in his prime, only fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and was young and full of youth. But since then, he has been staying on the island. Although he occasionally leaves the island, he still leaves the island.
I was on an errand, not out for a romantic affair.
Although there are many male disciples on the island, it seems that Suzaku is arrogant and a little indifferent towards others. He is also aloof on the island. I am afraid he does not like those disciples on the island, so naturally he will not fall in love or even get married with those days.
If this is true, Suzaku changed from a young girl on the island to a beautiful mature woman who still retains her charm, but she has not experienced the love between a man and a woman in the past twenty years.
That old Taoist priest Hong Tianji actually delayed Suzaku for twenty years.
"Are you Qin Xiao?" Zhuque suddenly asked.
Qin Xiao was startled and wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it carefully, if he wanted to join forces with Zhuque to kill Tantai Xuanye in the future, his identity would eventually be revealed. If he denied it now, then the two parties would not trust each other from the beginning of the contact.
It's also difficult to cooperate.
Being honest with each other now will definitely be beneficial to future cooperation between the two parties.
"Yes." Qin Xiao nodded and said, "Xiangu has also heard of me?"
Zhuque said calmly: "Your reputation is very famous, how could I not know about it? But I heard that Qin Xiao is under twenty years old. Judging from your appearance, you are several years older than Qin Xiao. Who helped you disguise yourself? His method is quite good.
Very impressive."
Qin Xiao thought that Zhuque was really shrewd, and he actually knew that he was disguised.
Hongye's disguise technique is so clever that unless someone is very close to him, it is impossible to see the flaw.
"A master of disguise." Qin Xiao said: "You should have the opportunity to meet him in the future." After a pause, he finally asked: "What are you going to do next? Go back to Penglai Island?"
Suzaku shook his head, frowning and said: "Penglai Island is already facing a disaster, and it will disappear soon."
Qin Xiao was surprised and said: "How can you say this?"
"Tantai Xuanye is a double-dealer. He has evil intentions, but he is extremely cunning." Zhuque said: "Since he dares to be cruel to Dao Lord, he must have prepared a backup plan." He put down his chopsticks and looked at Qin Xiaodao.
: "This time Daojun made a big plan, almost all the Tianzhai disciples on the island left, leaving only Shang Fu and more than 20 disciples to guard Penglai Island." He slightly raised his head and turned to the window, his neck was long and slender, but he was also fair and fair.
Jade murmured: "I'm just worried that Tantai Xuanye has sent people to the island and controlled Penglai Island. If I return to the island, I will fall into a trap."
"Jinwu and others are still in the palace. If they know that Dao Zun has been killed...?"
Suzaku sneered and said: "Those are all stupid people. It is easy for Tantai Xuanye to deal with them. If my guess is correct, those people will now think that I murdered the master, and Tantai Xuanye will definitely kill the master."
The crime of your honor is placed on my head."
Listening to her tone, Qin Xiao was obviously full of disdain for Jin Wu and others.
At this time, I remembered that when Bi Fang was interrogating Bi Fang, when Bi Fang mentioned Suzaku, he also said that Suzaku was cunning and obsessed with power. He obviously had a prejudice against Suzaku. Now it seems that there is no difference between the nine birds of the Taoist sect.
They are monolithic and contradictory to each other.
"This should be expected." Qin Xiaodao: "When Tantai Xuanye attacked Dao Zun, apart from the Jiangu disciples present, you were the only Tianzhai disciple. Even if the Jiangu disciples came forward to testify for you, the Tianzhai disciples
I definitely won’t believe Sword Valley either.”
Zhuque smiled disdainfully and said: "Among those people, Jinwu is the only one who has some sense. But they know that Tao Zun has passed away, and Tantai Xuanye is now powerful. There is no conclusive evidence to prove that Tantai Xuanye killed Tao Zun.
Under the circumstances, they will only follow Tantai Xuanye. Tantai Xuanye has taken control of Kyoto, and for the sake of immediate gain, the Jinwu gang will convince themselves that I am the murderer even if they suspect that Dao Zun was not killed by me."
He raised his hand, lifted up a lock of blue hair on his cheek, and said calmly: "So I am destined to bear the infamy of murdering Master."
