Zhu Tong understood in his heart that his mind was being controlled, just like the feeling after being drunk or taking drugs. He had completely lost control of his body and all his actions were unconscious. He knew it was a whirlpool but still jumped involuntarily.
At this moment, three slight thuds sounded in the air, followed by two crisp sounds of "Ding! Ding!". Two sparks flashed from the scimitar and were shot away. The body of the woman in black was shaken and twisted several times.
He clutched his left arm and fell to the wall.
The ear-piercing scream that Ye'er and Mei Lanting heard came from the woman in black at this moment.
The change came suddenly. Zhu Tong was awakened by the scream, and immediately turned around and rolled to the ground. The cold snow had not yet melted, and the little liar's face and neck were covered with snow particles, and he was completely awake. He did not expect that
His unique secret medicine was ineffective against the woman in black, but he was controlled by the local butterfly mask and was almost split in half by a wood-chopping knife.
The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind. If it weren't for someone's help, Zhu Tong would probably be doomed.
The courtyard became quiet, and the two people fell to the ground, looking towards the half-opened courtyard door.
There was the smell of gunpowder in the air, and Zhu Tong judged that someone had used a gun from the darkness outside the courtyard to fly away the machete that was attacking him, and also injured the woman in black. It was a gun with a silencer.
The woman in black also knew that someone was plotting against her outside, and her fear was more severe than that of Zhu Tong; everything tonight was so weird, first there was Zhu Youshi who was not afraid of practicing Xin Yan, and then there was a mysterious man with a black gun. She knew
There was no chance of winning, but he was unwilling to fail and reached out to grab Zhu Tong. This was at least a shield.
However, although Zhu Tong did not have the strength to fight, he did not have the strength to escape. Fighting and escaping were always two different concepts, and the energy consumed was not comparable.
The red lantern in the courtyard was still burning, and the two people in the small courtyard were surrounding the lantern, playing a game of cat and mouse; Zhu Tong tilted his body and ran away from left to right, with flexible and strange routes; the woman in black intercepted everywhere, but...
They always come up empty handed. Zhu Tong has a huge advantage, and the woman in black has to focus half of her attention on guarding against the mysterious gunman outside. Of course, she doesn't dare to expose herself to the cover of the little liar.
After a few rounds, the woman in black knew that she couldn't catch Zhu Tong. He was too cunning. Although his movement was agile, he was mainly too cunning.
The woman in black slapped the lantern, the flame went out, and the yard was pitch black. When Zhu Tong heard the door of the hall, he felt that the woman in black had entered the darker hall.
Zhu Tong was not a hero, so he did not dare to risk going in. Besides, he was the one who had been running away just now. His silver needles were ineffective against the opponent. Perhaps the only effect of pursuing him was to seek death.
"If you want her to live, don't tell anyone what happened tonight." A low voice came from the hall. Zhu Tong hid in the door and leaned against the wall. He didn't care whether the other party saw him or not, and just nodded. He was already thinking about Tianyi.
Liang left here. Ye'er had such a powerful enemy and he couldn't deal with it.
Half an hour passed, maybe an hour, but it was too cold outside. Zhu Tong couldn't hear anything, so he fumbled and put the headphones into his ears.
There was only Huang Hai's snoring, and he had fallen asleep. Zhu Tong adjusted his phone back, and the sound in Huang Hai's room an hour ago was replayed.
Although Zhu Tong's cell phone is not very beautiful, it is very suitable for scammers like him. It has an FM function that can receive signals, and can also record for eight hours or simple video recording for five minutes. Zhu Tong has a good habit of eavesdropping at the beginning.
Just press the record button.
At first, it was the sound of Huang Hai and the girl named Duohua enjoying each other. Zhu Tong listened to the soft voice of "brother, good brother" and was fascinated. After a while, Huang Hai screamed; then Duohua was surprised.
And shy voice.
"Mom, what are you doing? You're so embarrassed." This was Duohua's soft voice.
"Duohua, please get dressed and leave. Mom can't handle the two people outside. Let's go back to Dongshan and hide for a few days."
"If you don't go, it's all you who wants to trick her. It's disgusting. I've already said it, as long as Brother Hai comes to see me from time to time. Now that trouble has arisen and I want to hide from you, I haven't done anything.
"
"My dear boy, have you been waiting all your life? Men are like this. Now that you are beautiful and graceful, he will remember you and love you. But what about the future? Mom is doing this for your own good. In a few years you won't think so anymore.
"
"Oh, there's a lot of blood, mom is injured." Duohua's cry came as she seemed to be getting dressed.
"Who hurt you? I'll ask him why he hit my mother?" Duohua screamed angrily, and there was a pulling sound in the room.
The woman in black was really a loving and good mother in front of Duohua. While comforting Duohua, she said that she was fine. After a while, the window rang several times, leaving only the sound of Huang Hai's snoring.
After listening to the recording, Zhu Tongcai felt that he was safe. He squatted down and touched the remains of the lantern on the ground. He found a thick candle and lit it, then walked out of the hospital holding it.
In the dark night, all the dogs in the town were asleep, and there was no movement at all outside, let alone finding someone who could save him.
After waiting for a while, the lights in the yard came on, the lights in the town also came on, and another call came. Only then did Zhu Tong understand that the power outage was caused by the girl named Duohua.
Zhu Youshi, the woman in black said this word just now, and it sounded like she was filled with hatred and fear. Zhu Tong didn’t understand what this word meant. He sat in front of the door and thought about it for a while before taking out his phone and replacing it with a calling card.
Call the second senior brother to make sure he wants to continue.
After the ringing for half a minute, the owner of Xiaoyun Manor answered the phone, with a hint of tiredness in his voice. Zhu Tong didn't waste any time. He explained his experience in the past two days in detail, and then asked: "Second Senior Brother, what do you think I should do?"
?”
"It's so complicated. The Bamboo Taoist priest also showed up." The second senior brother finally woke up completely, as if he was still a little unsure whether Zhu Tong was dreaming: "Are you telling the truth? Taoist sect also has a way to deal with monsters, you
What are you still afraid of? Junior brother, with your temper, you shouldn't be involved in this matter; is she beautiful? You and the master really look alike, you can't even see a beautiful woman."
Zhu Tong rubbed his shoulders and laughed. He also felt that his behavior was a bit weird. According to his previous habits, he should get rid of these people around him as soon as he arrived in Xiangxi.
The second senior brother waited for Zhu Tong to laugh enough before continuing: "See for yourself, this is our hometown after all. I am in Phoenix City and I have found no signs of Zhu Youmen's activities. Maybe I can find some from the man in black.
Clues. Junior brother, I have been mixed up in the world over the years, and I feel more and more that I have little ability. The reason why outsiders do not easily provoke us is that they are afraid of the ghosts and gods that the master has not taught; sooner or later, this situation will be exposed one day. This
In the past few years, I have often been active in this area, just to find the source of the Zhumen. We cannot just live under the prestige of our predecessors."
"Okay, let's go to Phoenix tomorrow and meet and discuss it carefully." Zhu Tong hung up the phone and was no longer nervous. He sat in the cold wind and thought about other things. He didn't think that the Bamboo Taoist priest could help at any time.
People like that, masters like that, have their own principles in everything they do.
What he is more concerned about is: Who is the mysterious gunman? He is so accurate and his shooting skills are so exquisite. The little liar does not have such a friend, and such a master cannot be bought with money. However, the little liar is no longer afraid of Duo
Damn it, in comparison, it seems that his dog-skin plaster can restrain the other party's spells, and the other party doesn't care about his hallucinogenic drugs; if he faces the mask of the woman in black again, Zhu Tong is sure not to be confused by the other party.
Compared with the real skill, the little liar was of course at a disadvantage, but the other party took a shot. In this way, the two sides were even on the level of hard power.
In terms of soft power, there is a mysterious gunman next to me. Of course, I have to count it on my side. The woman in black is afraid of the mysterious gunman, so she ran to some cave mountain to hide. The real skills of the bullshit are nothing compared to the gunman.
Besides, there is also the second senior brother as a helper. If you compare it like this, you still have the upper hand.
The relationship between Huang Hai and Ye'er should be impossible. Even if he still wants to have two boats, after the intervention of the little liar, it is basically impossible. Zhu's disciples never bite seamless eggs. Huang Hai's problem is not
Generally large.
The only obstacle was the woman in black. Zhu Tong was a man of the world and was never afraid of taking risks. After settling the accounts, he felt that he was 70% sure that Ye'er's dream would come true. Of course, he felt elated for a while, patted his butt and left.
Go back to the yard.
Zhu Tong walked into Huang Hai's room and found that the bedspread on his bed was gone, and there were no signs of vomiting in the room. Even Huang Hai put on his underwear and fell asleep carelessly. Zhu Tong turned on the air conditioner and turned it off.
He walked out of the window and wanted to find another room to sleep. As soon as he arrived in the hall, he heard laughter coming from the room where the two girls lived. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door: "There's a call. Turn on the air conditioner to make it warmer."
Ye'er said: "Doctor Li, have all the ghosts gone?" There was another burst of laughter; Mei Lanting's voice said again: "It seems that we haven't finished yet, there is a perverted ghost outside the door."
Zhu Tonghen stomped his feet, opened a room at random, threw himself on the bed without taking off his clothes, and began to recall the experience just now in his mind.
Everything is completely reasonable. Huang Hai met Duohua during that trip. She must be very beautiful, otherwise Ye'er's friend Miss Xiao wouldn't be so jealous. A girl like her would only compare to her beauty.
People of the same sex lose their temper. Zhu Tong has even determined that Xiao Xinmei is probably in love with Huang Hai.
However, how did Huang Hai hook up with Duohua? He did such a thing under the noses of his girlfriend and alternate girlfriend Xiao Xinmei. Even Zhu Tong admired Huang Hai's concealment.
Zhu Tong carefully recalled everything Ye'er said. They only stayed here for one day before going to Phoenix City. There should be no chance. In Phoenix City? Ye'er spent the whole day painting by the river. Xiao Xinmei was with her. Huang Hai said
I have visited all the surrounding scenic spots, so I have the opportunity.
But how did he do it? Find time to ask this expert tomorrow. Zhu Tong checked the clothes on his body and found that there was no hole except for dirty spots. The burning heart of the woman in black was not an illusion. Could it be that practicing heart inflammation is
Will-o'-the-wisp?
The little liar thought about it, snoring and fell asleep. After the danger passed, he had forgotten what he wanted to leave not long ago. In his dream, he was still walking with Ye'er in front of flowers and under the moon. It was not a lustful dream.
At dawn, everything seemed to have never happened. Mei Lanting and Ye Er were chatting and laughing in the hall, eating breakfast. The shop owner looked hungover and was packing lanterns in front of the door. Huang Hai was still dull, look.
Zhu Tong's expression was also strange.
Zhu Tong rubbed his head as if he had a hangover and walked around the yard a few times; he saw no machete and no blood. The shop owner was still sitting by the brazier, smiling and instructing the two waiters to serve the four customers. Zhu Tong
I didn't go to the store owner to get into trouble. A wizard like the woman in black is both respected and feared by the mountain people, so asking questions is useless.
Since it just snowed yesterday, the shuttle bus out of the mountain didn't arrive until noon. As soon as the four of us arrived in the city, we chartered a taxi and rushed to Phoenix.
Along the way, there were only two girls talking and joking. Huang Hai sat in the back seat, and Zhu Tong habitually sat in the front seat with the driver. The danger was immediately discovered here.
In Zhu Tong's opinion, the mountains and rivers along the way from Zhangjiajie to Phoenix City are not much inferior to those in the scenic area.
It's snowing on the mountain, but it's still raining below. The landscape in the rain is a bit more blurry and charming, like a charming young woman showing off her soft charm to attract the attention of her lover. There are steep cliffs beside the road, and I often turn around one.
After turning around, they saw the abyss on the roadside. The two girls sometimes exclaimed in fear, sometimes were intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, and kept busy with the cameras in their hands.
The driver was an experienced driver, and the car was brand new and not very fast. Zhu Tong's initial worry slowly dissipated, and his hand on the door switch loosened.
You can often see several new villa-like houses in the mountains, and their appearance is no less decorated than private houses along the coast of Shandong. Zhu Tong estimated from his professional perspective that there are also many wealthy people in the mountains.
Around four o'clock, the taxi passed through Jishou City, and the scenery was different; a stream ran parallel to the road. The Miao men wearing sharp bamboo hats by the stream and the peasant women carrying baskets by the road both looked leisurely and contented, giving people a sense of pastoral life.
Feel.
When passing by a small town, Zhu Tong suddenly saw a sign: Zhu You Family, Mighty Doctor.
"Master, stop the car." Zhu Tong shouted, and the driver stopped the car steadily to the side of the road.
"Miss Su, let's get off the car and go there to have a look. Maybe it will be helpful to you."
There are always some elegant people in the mountains and fields, and this one is undoubtedly one of them.
Zhu Tong and Ye'er stepped into the brick building with a sign saying that Zhu You was seriously ill. They were met by an old man in ordinary clothes. He was sitting on a high wooden chair holding a long copper pipe with a wooden stem in his left hand. His slightly squinted eyes soon
Condensed on Ye'er.
The room is not big but very neat, with only one table, one chair and two rows of benches. There is no medicine cabinet like an ordinary small clinic. On the table are the Four Treasures of the Study, but there are two inkstones, one made of thick ink and one made of cinnabar. In the middle of the house, there is a brazier as usual.
There are no fancy things like banners on the wall. Behind the old man is a landscape painting, and next to it is a couplet:
A gentleman is magnanimous, and thousands of red leaves have one intention; a doctor is kind-hearted, and uses hundreds of prescriptions to cure many diseases.
The same calligraphy on the wall on the other side reads: Those who are dishonest and disrespectful will not be cured, those who are gifted with heavenly doctors will not be cured, those who have doubts and undecided beliefs will not be cured, those who have wealth and despise life will not be cured, and those who have incomplete amulets will not be cured.
Before Zhu Tong could speak, the old man shook his head and said: "I can't cure the girl's disease. I'm ashamed. I can't bear the trouble of noble people."
"Do you know what her illness is?" Zhu Tong regained his composure and stared at the old man.
"Now that she is here, her illness will not be fatal. Sorry, what I have learned is only superficial. Why not, I write a word. The girl writes it thirteen times a day. She can only guarantee her life within a year.
.”
After the old man finished speaking, he picked up a pen and quickly drew a few words on a piece of yellow paper. He blew a few breaths and folded it carefully before sending it to Ye'er.
"If a girl wants to be completely liberated, it depends on fate. Don't open it on the way. When you want to write it, take it out again."
Zhu Tong clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, senior, please tell me your surname."
The old man looked at Zhu Tong carefully and shook his head gently: "In my later life, many ancestral learnings were lost in the troubled times. I came here from Jiangxi to open this shop, not for money or for treating illnesses. I just want to use this sign to attract experts to teach me. But.
, In the past three years, you are the only fellow person who has entered this door. Although I have learned a lot, it is not profound. It is me who should ask for advice."
Zhu Tong understood, pondered for a moment, walked to the table, picked up a pen and wrote three ghost characters; he nodded and came out with Ye'er.
After getting in the car, Ye'er asked: "Doctor Li, what did he tell you?"
"The old gentleman is a respectable man and cannot bear to see his line of medical skills become extinct. He is here to learn the art."
"Ah!" Ye'er and Miss Mei both shouted.
The taxi was on the road again, Zhu Tong didn't say anything anymore, feeling a little desperate in his heart. Is there no master from Zhu You's group who is hidden in the world?
When the experts met, they felt inferior. The old man was indeed from another branch of Zhu Yu, but his knowledge was shallower than his own. This was not the other person's modesty. Zhu Tong saw that the word he wrote was the word "spirit", which was a stroke.
There is a deep concentration of energy in one painting, and the root of the old man's treatment of all diseases lies in this word.
But what makes Zhu Tong strange is that the mental method used by the old man is unstable, and the effect of curing the disease must not be as good as that of the old liar. What does this mean? Could it be that he really came from Xiangxi to learn the art.
The old man said that he had gained nothing in the past three years. The word "spiritual" written to Ye'er might be able to suppress the poison in her body, and he might want to get something from Zhu Tong.
The old liar once said that his fellow disciples can pass on their knowledge to outsiders, but these few words cannot be passed on to anyone who is not a true disciple or son. Zhu Tong couldn't bear to disappoint the old man, so he wrote these three ghost words. How can he understand that he can only understand it by reading it?
His creation.
After more than an hour, after the taxi turned the last corner, Phoenix City, surrounded by mountains and with the Tuojiang River passing through the city, really appeared before our eyes.
Huang Hai became even more silent. After getting off the bus at Hongqiao, he picked up his luggage and left. Ye'er caught up with him and walked with him, while Zhu Tong and Mei Lanting followed behind carrying simple sundries.
"Miss Mei has been here before." Zhu Tong said out of the blue; Mei Lanting pursed her lips and smiled: "How come I haven't been to such a beautiful place? How about you, sir? This is really your first time here?"
"It is indeed my first time to visit your noble land." Zhu Tong came to Xiangxi for the first time as a disciple of the Zhu sect. He curiously looked at everything in front of him, and he paid more attention to the people living here.
On the narrow stone streets, you can always see women wearing Miao clothing selling herbs, animal bones or silver jewelry. The colors of Miao women's clothing are basically black, white and blue-green. The black ones are tall and folded headbands.
Youzhen is a bit majestic. Maybe the Miao girls are not very tall. The silver ornaments hanging on their bodies are white. The silver light flashes and jingles in their movements, and their steps have a dancing charm. The blue and green colors
, is the basic color of Miao girls’ clothes, showing their solemn and chaste appearance.
On both sides of the street are shops one after another, selling similar products to those found in other scenic spots. There are also a few bars here and there; the most popular and explosive songs are filling your ears.
Zhu Tong was a little disappointed. The small town in front of him, which Ye'er praised many times, had ancient temples, ancient pagodas, ancient pavilions, ancient city walls and false stilted buildings. However, it lacked simplicity and was too modern. Only Nanhua Mountain in the south of the city still had some
