There was a moment of silence in the hall, and then there was an uproar.
Murong Fei's face was flushed with anger, and then turned pale again, angrily scolded: "Nonsense!"
Immediately someone echoed him and said: "That's right, the head of the Murong family is famous, how could he do such a dirty thing!"
"These women have been in the hands of thieves for a long time. Could it be that they are fascinated by drugs?"
Some people also said: "The so-called knowing people, knowing the face but not knowing the heart, now that the witnesses are all there, who knows the truth?"
Those women just cried in a low voice, while the people in the Palace of Bliss took the opportunity to sneer: "You self-proclaimed righteous people? What happened? You also do some tricks."
"Dare to act but dare not to act, hey, even our Bliss Palace is not as good as it!"
Naturally, some people on the side of Zhengdao were dissatisfied, and they argued with him on the spot, arguing that they were about to use knives and guns, and the scene immediately became chaotic.
They kept arguing endlessly, but the contest between He Tingzhou and Murong Shen was not over yet.
Although the two were fighting for their lives, they had already heard the words of others clearly. Especially when the girl from the Jin family identified Murong Shen, Murong Shen slowed down a bit, He Tingzhou looked at the opportunity and struck him three times in a row, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Murong, do you have something to say?"
Murong Shen's expression did not change, he was still a gentleman, he sighed: "If you want to commit a crime, there is no reason to worry about it."
After saying that, he waved his palms and patted He Tingzhou.
He Tingzhou didn't dodge either, so he slapped him.
The two palms met, and there was a bang, the inner strength was so strong that the ground was shaken with dust, and even the ground sank a few inches.
Murong Shen took several steps back, spat out a mouthful of blood, splashing bright red spots on the white clothes.
He Tingzhou was better than him, only a smear of blood dripped from his lips, he raised his hand to wipe it away, and said: "Proceed."
In this competition, he was naturally slightly better.
Seeing that his father was injured, Murong Fei couldn't help but rushed forward and shouted: "Father, how are you?"
One of Xu Feng's arms was pulled by him, and he also pulled him over unexpectedly. He Tingzhou was only a few steps away from him, his gaze swept across his face lightly, and then he looked elsewhere as if he didn't recognize him.
At this time, Lin Yu and the young man in brocade also came up to meet him. With a gentle voice, he asked, "Is the Palace Mistress injured?"
The other acted coquettishly and foolishly, grabbed He Tingzhou's hand and said: "Master, you scared me to death just now."
Chu Xi was a step behind them, standing behind and sneering.
He Tingzhou adjusted his breath for a moment, waved his hands and said, "It's okay."
Although they have decided the winner in this contest, the others have been fighting for a long time and they have already started fighting. On the one hand, he said that the evil cannot overcome the good, on the other hand, he said that the height is one foot, and the devil is one foot high, and they were about to compete, when they heard the sound of a weapon falling to the ground, someone clutched his chest and yelled "Ouch".
Then, like an infection, one after another, people fell to the ground one after another. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, everyone screams in pain.
After all, Murong Shen is an old man, he held Murong Fei's hand and said: "Don't get angry, I'm afraid someone has poisoned you."
After other people tried it, it was really like this, as long as they exercised their internal energy, they would feel heartache like twisting, and there was no energy left in their bodies. But exactly how he was poisoned, he had no clue. Suddenly someone shouted: "The sky is bright and bright, why are there candles lit in the temple?"
Everyone raised their eyes and saw a pair of candles burning on the table, with green smoke curling up, and they did not know how long it had been burning. Just now everyone was only watching the battle, but they didn't notice any of them.
"The Bliss Palace is so shameless that it poisoned the candles!"
"The so-called soldier never tires of deceit, have you never heard of it?"
"Hey, you've been poisoned here too, are you proud?"
Murong Shen looked at He Tingzhou, and said: "Unexpectedly, Your Excellency has left behind."
But He Tingzhou said, "I didn't order people to poison me."
Murong Shen pondered for a moment, and said: "It was a fierce fight just now, I'm afraid you and I are the most poisoned."
After all, the two seemed to think of something, and both laughed.
After laughing, He Tingzhou's face became serious, and he called out, "Liu Yue."
Liu Yue's eyelids twitched wildly, she knew that she had fallen into someone else's trick, and she was afraid that someone wanted to reap the benefits, so she hurriedly said: "Elder Song is very skilled in medicine, he should be able to detoxify this poison, I will invite him here."
With that said, he turned around and walked outside the hall.
At this time, she saw a flash of cold light, and a long sword stabbed towards her back.
As the hall master of the Palace of Bliss, Liu Yue's martial arts are naturally not weak, but at the moment she was poisoned, her skills were slow after all, she was stabbed in the arm by that sword, and immediately bled profusely. As soon as she moved her true energy, the poison in her body exploded, and she immediately fell limp to the ground.
He Tingzhou heard the movement, but he didn't turn his head, he just said, "Chu Xi, it's you."
Chu Xi was dressed in red, and her face was even more gorgeous by the clothes. He retracted the sword, looked at the blood stain on the tip of the sword, and said: "The Palace Mistress has neglected me for a long time, she must have suspected me already, right?"
He Tingzhou finally turned to look at him and said, "Although I have suspicions, I don't want that person to be you."
Chu Xi sneered, and said, "The Palace Mistress hugged her left and right, so happy, how can she put me in her eyes?"
"Chu Xi..." Liu Yue fell to the ground, clutching her injured arm, and said, "The palace lord has always treated you kindly, why did you betray the palace lord?"
"I can't get the palace lord, so I just got the palace lord's position, it's better than nothing." As he said, he raised his sword, but pointed at the young man in brocade who was by He Tingzhou's side.
The boy was taken aback, and quickly hid behind He Tingzhou.
He Tingzhou looked calm, and said: "When you were in Lin'an City, you were deliberately captured by the Murong family, right? You had already betrayed the Palace of Bliss at that time? Qin Lie yearned for you for a long time, in order to cover up for you, Only then did he show his feet in front of me, and he admitted the matter himself."
Chu Xi didn't deny it, but said, "What does it have to do with me if he is willing to die?"
"At this point, you should tell who is behind the scenes, right?"
Before Chu Xi could speak, everyone heard a burst of laughter.
"Hahaha-"
The laughter clearly came from outside the hall, but it was so close that it seemed to be close to someone's ear, and those with a little weaker internal strength had already been shaken to the point of confusion. Everyone was thinking in their hearts, this person has such domineering internal strength!
As the laughter grew louder, someone stepped into the hall. At this time, the sun was in the west, and the man walked in against the light, he was only about forty years old, with three long beards, and silk and satin all over his body, he looked like an ordinary rich man.
But when the people in the hall saw him, their eyes widened, as if they saw a ghost in the daytime.
Murong Shen had already adjusted his breath, when he saw him, he spit out another mouthful of blood with a "poof".
Only Lin Yu looked as usual, went up to greet him with a salute, and said respectfully, "Father."
His voice was clear and clear, which was pleasant to hear, but at this moment it sounded like a thunderous thunder. Everyone came back to their senses and finally believed that the person in front of them was the revived Lord Lin!
Immediately, there were voices of surprise and suspicion, shouts and curses, and various voices rang out endlessly.
Xu Feng saw the death of Master Lin in Luofeng Manor with his own eyes that day, and now he was shocked to see him come back to life.
Murong Fei asked: "Uncle Lin, you, are you still alive?"
Lin Xiao laughed and said, "Your father and I have made an appointment to live and die together, how could I die first?"
Murong Shen suppressed his anger, and said: "Brother Lin is really loyal, today's round...was it you who set it up with your own hands?"
"It's a pity that Brother Murong didn't come to have a wedding drink when Quanzi got married a month ago. Fortunately, it's not too late to make up for it today."
"So, the hundred and ten lives in Luofeng Manor were all killed by your own hands?"
"If it wasn't so, how could it have attracted you into the game and brought people to the Palace of Bliss?"
"How are Yan'er and Lin Xian?"
"My beautiful son and beautiful wife, don't bother Brother Murong." He said and clapped his hands.
Immediately, a group of black-clothed men came in from outside the hall, forming a sword formation, and surrounded everyone in the hall. The group of crying women also fell silent, their eyes straightened, and they picked up the weapons from the ground. Judging from the expressions on their faces, it was obvious that they had been deluded.
Who is the thief who robbed the bride and washed Fengzhuang with blood? Unexpectedly, the owner of Lin Zhuang is so vicious. Taking advantage of his son's wedding, all the guests who will congratulate him will be slaughtered in the future. It's a pity that all the heroes and righteous men have fallen to the ground, and they can only curse bitterly.
Murong Shen said: "Congratulations brother Lin, this time we have wiped out both black and white, and we will be the roost in the world in the future."
Lin Xiao smiled but said nothing, only winked at Chu Xi.
Chu Xi made an attack at this moment, reaching out to grab the young man in brocade clothes beside He Tingzhou.
He Tingzhou called out: "Shen Yi!"
Just about to rescue her, Chu Xi said: "I advise the palace master not to act rashly. The palace master has the poison of 'Thousand Day Drunk'. When you don't move your true energy, everything will be as usual. Once you move your true energy, the poison will explode. .”
The young man named Shen Yi was caught by Chu Xi, and she screamed in fright: "Palace Master, save me!"
Chu Xi thought he was noisy, and shouted, "Shut up."
Then with a flick of the long sword, it rested on Shen Yi's snow-white neck.
He Tingzhou stood still and asked, "How are you doing?"
"The palace lord has always cared about the beauty, and this person is also the palace lord's favorite pet. It shouldn't be a loss if he is exchanged for a set of inner skills, right?"
He Tingzhou was silent for a moment, and said: "The inner strength and mentality you want is the secret of the Palace of Bliss, which has always been known only to the previous palace masters. Even if I am willing to write it silently, you and Master Lin... dare you believe it?"
Lin Xiao frowned and was about to speak when Lin Yu whispered a few words in his ear. Lin Xiao nodded and said: "I heard that there is a place where treasures are hidden in the Palace of Bliss. Needless to say, there are rare and rare treasures in it, even the inner strength and mental method are in it. If the old man can see it with his own eyes, he will believe it. .”
He Tingzhou glanced at Lin Yu, and said: "Mr. Lin has been by my side for many years, and it seems that he has been inquiring about a lot of news. Master Lin sent a son to serve on the pillow mat for nothing, and finally he didn't lose his money."
A few words made Lin Xiao's face turn blue, only because of the inner strength and mentality, he didn't burst out.
Lin Yu smiled brightly and said, "I admire the demeanor of the palace lord, and it is indeed out of my sincerity."
Chu Xi didn't like to hear them talk about romance, so she tightened the sword around Shen Yi's neck, and said, "I heard that the entrance to the treasure cave is in the Palace Master's room, Palace Master, please go ahead."
After all, he took Shen Yi to leave first.
He Tingzhou had no choice but to follow, and when Xu Feng passed by, neither of them spoke. Lin Yu fell behind, looked at Xu Feng and the others, and said, "I'm afraid there are many traps in the place where the treasure is hidden, why don't you bring a few more people in to block the arrows from hidden weapons."
Lin Xiao said: "Then I can only help Brother Murong. Don't worry, Brother Murong. With our friendship, I will definitely stay until the end to kill you."
Murong Shen sneered: "Brother Lin is so kind, you really deserve our friendship."
Lin Xiao laughed and walked away.
Lin Yu took the precious sword from the ground, charged Murong and his son, and Xu Feng followed behind. After they walked out of the hall, the two doors were slowly closed, and Xu Feng vaguely heard screams coming from inside, knowing that the tragedy of Luofeng Manor would repeat itself. He only hated that he was poisoned in his body, and his martial arts were low, so he was powerless to turn things around.
Lin Yu was walking beside him. Xu Feng thought of something and asked, "Young master Lin, the secret room we lived in these days is in your room?"
"Yes," Lin Yu said softly without any frivolous look on his face, "I've been slow these days."
Murong Fei heard it from the side, and snorted coldly: "I have arrested and imprisoned you for more than a month, and you didn't even dare to show your face. Why are you pretending to be a good person at this time? Sure enough, like a father like a son, like your father They are both gentle scum and beasts in clothes!"
Lin Yu just smiled and said, "Twelve, I haven't seen you for many years."
Murong Fei got annoyed when he heard that, and said: "Who will you call me like that? I don't have any sworn friendship with Mr. Lin, so I don't dare to climb high!"
Lin Yu said, "Young Master Murong is right."
Murong Fei simply turned his head and ignored him.
Xu Feng lowered his voice and said: "Even though Master Lin has the ambition to dominate the world, but I think... Mr. Lin should not be a person who is greedy for vanity."
Lin Yu's face turned slightly cold, and Fang said after a while, "Of course I have my reasons."
The residence of the palace lord is not far away, and the speaking room is also here. Compared with Lin Yu's room, this place is naturally much more luxurious, especially the big bed in the middle, with hibiscus gauze curtains, embroidered quilt and incense pillows, which can accommodate seven or eight people.
When Lin Xiao saw the bed, he said, "The entrance to the treasure cave should be under this bed."
He Tingzhou stepped forward, touched a mechanism on the bedpost, and said: "Master Lin knows everything about my Bliss Palace very well."
"The institutions here are in the same line as the underground palace at the bottom of the lake."
"That underground palace was originally the abandoned shrine of my Bliss Palace. But Master Lin came from a famous and decent family, so I don't know how he got involved with that place, and how did he learn that evil skill?"
As He Tingzhou asked, he opened the mechanism at the head of the bed, and saw that the bed board was turned over, and there was a stone step.
Lin Xiaodao: "Anyway, the overall situation has been decided, so it's okay to tell you. More than 20 years ago, a hall master of the Palace of Bliss stole a volume of banned martial arts cheats. This person was later besieged by black and white, and he was defeated in the end." Death, do you know who she is?"
"who is it?"
Lin Xiao didn't continue talking, but turned to look at Lin Yu instead.
With a calm face, Lin Yu said slowly, "It's my mother."
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned.
Murong Fei was particularly surprised, and shouted: "How is it possible? You are not, you are not..."
Lin Yu said: "It's inconvenient for my mother's identity to be disclosed to the public, so my father had no choice but to say that I was born in a concubine."
Luo Fengzhuang was originally a decent family, but the young owner of the village fell in love with a witch from the Palace of Bliss and gave birth to a son. This matter is indeed shocking.
I saw the muscles on Lin Xiao's face trembling slightly, the expression could not be described as crying or laughing, and said: "I and Lian'er were in love with each other, but because of the distinction between good and evil, we were separated abruptly. Those who besieged her back then, both There are righteous people, and there are people from the Palace of Bliss, and now both of you are fighting and losing, it can be said that it is a reincarnation of heaven, and the retribution is not good!"
When he said this, his gaze shot towards Murong Shen and the others like an arrow.
Everyone's hearts were shocked, and only then did they realize that he set up such a killing situation, which stirred up turmoil in the world, and it turned out that it was all to avenge the killing of his wife twenty years ago.
Lin Yu persuaded: "Father, there is no need to mention the past, it is more important to find the inner strength first."
Only then did Lin Xiao put away the hatred in his eyes, and said, "Palace Master He, it's better for you to go first."
He Tingzhou didn't say much, he took the torch and walked down the stone steps first. He had suffered internal injuries during the martial arts competition before, and he had never had the chance to exercise his kung fu to heal his injuries, so his face was even paler by the light of the fire.
Xu Feng and others were also pushed to the front by Lin Xiao because they were arrested to block the arrows. Xu Feng slipped and almost hit He Tingzhou's back.
He Tingzhou's back was stiff, but he never looked back at him and walked straight forward.
Xu Feng followed his footsteps and heard Murong Fei who was walking behind ask: "Lin Yu, did you voluntarily enter the Palace of Bliss to avenge your mother?"
"No," Lin Yu said, "I fell in love with the palace lord at first sight, so I want to be with him forever."
"snort."
Murong Fei snorted and stopped talking.
Xu Feng had entered this treasure cave once, but at that time he took the road in the cave under the cliff, but now this road is much easier to walk. They went all the way down the stone steps, and estimated that when they were about to reach the mountainside, the road in front of them suddenly widened, and a towering and tall stone gate appeared.
There is also a painting on the door, but it is a statue of a god with three sides. In the middle is a ghost with a green face and fangs, and on the left and right is a beautiful woman. It's just that one woman is enchanting and beautiful, and the other is dignified and holy, with very different looks and demeanor.
He Tingzhou raised the torch to take a photo of the painting, then turned around and asked, "Where is my precious sword?"
Lin Yu raised the sword in his hand: "Is this the sword that the Palace Master said?"
"Well," He Tingzhou didn't take the sword, just said, "There is a gap between the forehead of the ghost in the middle, you just insert the sword into it."
The stone gate was built quite high, but with Lin Yu's martial arts skills, he stepped on the wall with his toes, flew up, and firmly inserted the sword into the ghost's forehead. The gap between the foreheads was like a scabbard, until the sword hilt hit the stone door without a sword, there was a soft "click".
When Lin Yu landed, the door was slowly opened.
Lin Yu couldn't help saying: "So this sword is the key to open the door."
He Tingzhou let out an "um", leaned against the wall and coughed a few times.
Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but look at him, but heard Shen Yi shout: "The palace master has not recovered from his serious illness, and now he has a new injury, you don't let him rest for a while."
Chu Xi pushed him and said, "Are you the only one who cares about the Palace Master? Go!"
At this time, the stone gate was fully opened, and behind the gate was a bright stone room with ever-burning lamps on the wall, but the ground was full of gold, silver and jewels, scattered all over the ground in a mess, everywhere!
The jewels dazzled people's eyes, and Chu Xi sighed: "The place where the treasure is hidden in the Palace of Bliss is actually real."
He Tingzhou said: "This is just the first stone chamber."
After finishing speaking, he did not look at those yellow and white things, but continued to walk forward. None of the people present were greedy for money, so they all followed suit.
At the end of the stone room, there are three stone gates, each of which depicts the three-faced god statue that you saw when you entered. It is still a ghost in the middle, and there is a beauty on each side.
Lin Xiao asked, "Which door should I go?"
He Tingzhou looked at all three stone gates and said, "It's also the first time I've come here, so I can only resign myself to fate and choose a gate at will."
Lin Xiao was silent.
He Tingzhou said: "Let's choose Lin Zhuangzhu."
"Forget it, then go through the door in the middle."
He Tingzhou bit his finger and smeared the blood on the eyeball of the ghost in the painting. After a while, the door also opened.
Everyone filed in.
This secret passage is much narrower, only allowing one person to pass through. Naturally, He Tingzhou walked in the front, followed closely by Xu Feng, Chu Xi and the others, while Lin's father and son fell behind.
After walking for a while, He Tingzhou suddenly asked: "Chu Xi, if I remember correctly, the hall master who betrayed the Palace of Bliss twenty years ago... should have the same surname as yours."
Xu Feng was taken aback, and after a long time, he heard Chu Xi's voice: "Yes, she is indeed my aunt."
In the dark, I couldn't see the expression on Xi's face clearly, I just heard him say one sentence at a time: "After my aunt escaped from the Palace of Bliss, the previous palace master Lei Ting was furious, and even my parents were implicated. So when the palace master saw me later, I He's an orphan with no father or mother."
He Tingzhou didn't seem surprised, nodded and said: "I see, no wonder you have something to do with Master Lin. Have you also practiced that evil skill?"
"What? The palace lord wants to try my martial arts? It's a pity that the secret passage here is too narrow, and I'm afraid I can't use it."
He Tingzhou said: "It seems that I have practiced."
Chu Xi didn't deny it either, and half-truthfully said: "The palace master hugs left and right, enjoys the blessings of equal people, if I don't have some skills, how can I stay by your side?"
As she was talking, Shen Yi, who had been held hostage by Chu Xi, stopped and yelled "Ouch".
Chu Xi kicked him and scolded, "What are you yelling about?"
Shen Yi said wronged: "I stepped on a stone..."
Before the words were finished, there was already a loud rumbling sound coming from above the head. When everyone looked up, they saw a stone gate slowly falling down.
Chu Xi happened to be standing under the stone gate, and hurriedly pulled Shen Yi away. Unexpectedly, just as the stone gate fell halfway, another stone gate fell down a few steps away.
Only then did Chu Xi understand, and shouted: "No, it's this kid who touched the mechanism!"
There was a sudden chaos in the dark passage.
There were stone doors falling from the top of his head, and one after another, the speed was getting faster and faster. Xu Feng was pushed and staggered a few steps. Seeing He Tingzhou stretched out a hand and pulled it on his arm, then Withdrawing his hand again, he whispered, "Go!"
Xu Feng didn't respond, just followed him forward, and didn't even have the time to look back along the way.
Fortunately, all of them are martial arts practitioners, although some people have been poisoned and can't use their internal energy, but their footsteps are not slow, and finally their lives are not in danger. It's just that at the beginning Xu Feng could still hear Murong Fei's yelling and cursing, but later on, only the roar of the stone gate falling was left.
After running for an unknown amount of time, the originally narrow secret passage gradually opened up, and then I saw a light in front of my eyes, but I entered another stone room.
With a loud "bang", the last stone door fell, and the surroundings finally became quiet again. The ever-burning lamp was lit in the stone room, and Xu Feng took a look through the light, only to find that only he, He Tingzhou, Shen Yi and Chu Xi entered the stone room.
Chu Xi's sword was resting on Shen Yi's neck. He stood against the wall, looked around, and asked, "Where are the others?"
"It should be blocked by Shimen."
Chu Xi turned the hilt of the sword in her hand and said, "The palace master is really a good trick."
He Tingzhou's face was watertight, and he replied with a smile: "The person who chose this secret path is the owner of Lin Zhuang, and the person who accidentally touched the mechanism is Shen Yi. What does it have to do with me?"
Chu Xi snorted softly and asked, "Now that the stone gate is closed, how do we get out?"
"There must be another way to go."
He Tingzhou took a light with a torch, and everyone saw the surroundings clearly. There was nothing in the stone room, except for the stone door that came in. There was no exit, only the murals were painted on the four walls, which was quite similar to the stone room in the underground palace at the bottom of the lake. .
Xu Feng walked closer and took a closer look, and saw that the scene of sacrifice was also painted on the wall, but it was the statue of the god with three sides in one body. He was about to look at the next painting, but suddenly felt a chill behind his back, and a cold palm pressed against his back.
"Don't move around." Chu Xi said coldly, "If I spit out my palm, I can kill you."
Xu Feng froze and did not move.
He Tingzhou was only a few steps away. There was an accident here, so he turned around, glanced at Xu Feng who was restrained by Chu Xi, and asked, "Master Chu, what do you mean?"
"The three of you deal with one of me. I'm at a disadvantage." Chu Xi held a sword against Shen Yi's neck with one hand, and grabbed Xu Feng's back with the other, and said, "Only one of these two can Survival, the Palace Mistress has always been affectionate, I wonder which one you will choose?"
With tears in her eyes, Shen Yi kept calling: "Palace Master..."
Xu Feng didn't say a word, and didn't even look at He Tingzhou.
The flames flickered.
He Tingzhou simply threw the torch away, clasped his hands lightly behind his back, and said with a smile: "Why did Hall Master Chu do so much? These two people, one is my beloved pet, and the other is just a stranger who just met by chance. Who will you choose?"
"Is the Palace Master going to choose him?" Chu Xi's sword was drawn upwards, and a bloodstain was printed on Shen Yi's neck, "You don't think about it anymore?"
"No need to think about it." He Tingzhou looked at Shen Yi wholeheartedly, stretched out his hand and said, "Shen Yi, come here."
Chu Xi's complexion changed, and the sword in her hand was tightened even more. At this moment, she heard a "chick", and the ever-burning lamp in the stone room suddenly went out.
Chu Xi exclaimed in astonishment: "You...!"
Then it became the sound of fighting.
In the darkness, Xu Feng was pushed forward by someone, and he rushed forward, crashing into a person's arms. The man's hand trembled, and he stretched out to wrap around Xu Feng's waist. Although he didn't make a sound, Xu Feng knew who he was just hearing the slightly rapid breathing.
He Tingzhou took Xu Feng back a few steps, touched the stone wall beside him with his fingers, and he didn't know which mechanism he touched, the ground under their feet suddenly moved. Xu Feng's feet were empty, and he fell down together with He Tingzhou.
When he was falling, Xu Feng's heart was pounding, and he felt that the hand clasped around his waist was holding him tightly.
After only a moment of effort, they both fell into a pool of water.
Unprepared, Xu Feng gulped down several sips of water. Fortunately, the water in the pool was not deep, so he surfaced after a few struggles. He Tingzhou groped to find the edge of the pool, he rolled it up with his palms, and turned around to give Xu Feng a hand.
The clothes of both of them were wet by water, but luckily the torch in Xu Feng's arms was still usable. He lit the fire and took a picture, and saw that it was a natural cave with strange rocks all around, and there were cold drops of water constantly. Falling. Not far away, there is a small road, with twists and turns, I don't know where it leads.
He Tingzhou also saw the small road, pointed to it and said: "Go straight ahead along this road, turn left when you encounter a fork in the road, and after a while of burning incense, you will be able to reach the treasured sword we found at the beginning. How to get out now—I don’t need to teach you, do I?”
After they fell off the cliff that day, they strayed into the treasure cave of the Palace of Bliss, but they turned back the same way after getting the sword. Xu Feng was the brother Zhou he met at that time, and of course he was deeply impressed by this road.
The torch in his hand moved down slowly, and the faint light of the fire fell on He Tingzhou's face, but he saw that the man's face was frighteningly white.
Knowing that he was injured during a competition of internal strength, Xu Feng couldn't help asking: "You, are you okay?"
He Tingzhou leaned against the stone wall, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath for a moment, and said: "Thank you, Shaoxia Xu, I'm worried, I won't die for a while."
After a while, he said again: "Chu Xi doesn't know if she will catch up, you'd better go quickly."
Xu Feng stood still and asked, "What about you?"
"The matter here is not over yet. As the owner of the Palace of Bliss, I naturally can't just walk away."
"Villa Master Lin's martial arts are unfathomable. Lin Yu and Chu Xi are not ordinary people. How can you deal with them alone?"
He Tingzhou finally opened his eyes, glanced at Xu Feng, and said: "This is about my Palace of Bliss, and has nothing to do with others."
"That's right. Of course, the matter of the Bliss Palace has nothing to do with me. But I came with Mr. Murong, so I don't need to worry about whether I stay or leave now."
He Tingzhou stopped looking at him and said indifferently: "That's up to you."
Although Xu Feng said this in a fit of anger, he didn't know what use it would be to stay. So many heroes of the rivers and lakes have fallen into the hands of Lord Lin. Could it be that he, a nobody, can turn things around? It is impossible for him to escape alone.
After thinking for a while, he simply turned off the fire, so he couldn't see He Tingzhou's face, so he wasn't so impetuous. He calmed down and tried to circulate the zhenqi in his body, but the poison of the Thousand Day Drunkenness was really powerful, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest as soon as he exerted his inner strength.
Cold sweat broke out on Xu Feng's forehead, and he heard He Tingzhou's voice in his ears: "The poison on your body has not been cured, don't act rashly."
Xu Feng let out a breath, and really didn't dare to try again. In the dark, his hearing was stronger than usual, and he could vaguely hear some noises coming from above his head.
"what sound?"
"It seems that someone has found the mechanism." He Tingzhou stood up while talking, grabbed Xu Feng's shoulder, and said, "Let's go."
Xu Feng hurriedly followed, and lit the fire folder again.
There is no exit in this cave, only the winding path is left. The path seemed to be formed naturally, and it was very rough. After the two walked for a while, He Tingzhou stopped and stuck to the mountain wall to listen to the movement. Then his face darkened, and he said in a low voice: "The person who comes here has pure internal energy, it should be Chu Xi who is right."
Xu Feng asked: "What about Shen Yi?"
"Chu Xi is the only one."
Xu Feng's heart sank, he thought that if Chu Xi made a murderous attempt, Shen Yi must be in danger. But now he is too busy to take care of himself, and he has no time to worry about others, but his pace has accelerated a little bit.
After walking for not long, we arrived at the fork in the road that He Tingzhou said. Looking at the two roads, one left and one right, the two stopped in a tacit understanding.
Xu Feng asked first: "Where does the road on the right lead to?"
He Tingzhou said: "It's a dead end."
Xu Feng nodded and walked to the right without saying a word.
He Tingzhou grabbed his wrist.
"what you do?"
"You and I are not Chu Xi's opponents now, if he catches up with us, we will surely die."
"So? You plan to die by yourself?"
"Who said that? Maybe I'm luckier than you, and Chu Xi might not go this way."
"Well," He Tingzhou nodded and said, "The premise is that you don't deliberately distract him."
Xu Feng broke his mind and said, "Otherwise, what should we do? Are we waiting to die together? No, maybe Chu Xi is reluctant to kill you, and he will do it after harvesting it first."
He Tingzhou didn't get angry, just sighed lightly, and said: "It's not impossible for you to lure him away."
Xu Feng was taken aback.
Still holding his hand, He Tingzhou slowly moved closer to his ear and whispered a few words.
Xu Feng just frowned after hearing this: "This method... is too risky..."
"Well, Xu Shaoxia really wants to take a huge risk."
Xu Feng blurted out: "I'm not talking about myself."
"Then it's about me?" The two of them had been alone for so long, He Tingzhou only smiled slightly at this moment, and said, "Don't worry, I have my own measure."
After finishing speaking, he finally let go of Xu Feng's hand and walked to the right road.
Knowing the urgency of the situation, Xu Feng couldn't tolerate a moment's delay, so he turned back the same way as planned, and when he was halfway there, he heard He Tingzhou call out: "Xu Shaoxia."
Xu Feng paused.
He Tingzhou only said two words: "Be careful."
The simple two words made Xu Feng's heart feel hot, he let out a sullen "hmm" and continued to walk forward. This path was not long at all, so after Xu Feng walked for a short time, he caught a glimpse of a faint fire, and knew that he had bumped into Chu Xi.
Chu Xi acted cautiously, because she was afraid that there would be a hidden weapon here, so she left in a hurry.
Xu Feng restrained his breath and waited in the dark for a while. When Chu Xi came close, he threw a stone out.
"Who?" Chu Xi immediately followed the sound and shouted, "Palace Master?"
Xu Feng turned around and ran away. But after all, he was poisoned and couldn't use his lightness kung fu. When he was about to reach the fork in the road, Chu Xi finally caught up with him.
Chu Xi grabbed his shoulder with a palm.
Xu Feng dodged with a short body, but was caught straight.
Chu Xi took a light with the torch, said "tsk", and said, "So it's you."
Obviously he didn't take Xu Feng seriously, but asked, "Where is the Palace Master?"
"You mean He Tingzhou?" Xu Feng blinked and said, "Isn't he right behind you?"
Chu Xi was distracted.
Xu Feng shrank his shoulders and immediately flew back.
But Chu Xi's speed was much faster than him, there was only a whirring sound, and the palm wind had already reached her ears. There was no way for Xu Feng to escape, Chu Xi slapped him on the back, and he rolled to the ground. He didn't care whether he was injured or not, he just yelled at the forked road on the right: "Go!"
Chu Xi was deeply afraid that He Tingzhou would escape, so she raised her foot and kicked Xu Feng's waist, ignoring his life and death, and walked quickly to the right. This fork is indeed a dead end, and it ends after only a few steps, and there is another cave at the end. At this time, there was a bonfire burning in the cave, and the flames were on and off, but it clearly illuminated the situation inside. He Tingzhou half-closed his eyes, leaning against the stone wall with a bloodless face, apparently seriously injured.
Chu Xi's footsteps slowed down, and she first looked carefully to see if there were any traps around her, before she stepped forward and said, "Palace Master."
He Tingzhou didn't raise his eyes to look at him, but only replied: "You're here."
"The palace lord suddenly disappeared, but I was really shocked. Fortunately, the palace lord is safe and sound. The palace lord should go back with me quickly. Uncle and the others are still waiting for you to open the treasure cave."
He Tingzhou finally opened his eyes and looked at Chu Xi, with a hint of wind and thunder in his eyes, and said, "What if I refuse?"
Chu Xi's complexion changed, and then she laughed out loud. "Didn't the Palace Master want to try my martial arts? I think this place is just right. But the sword has no eyes. If I accidentally hurt the Palace Master, I will feel distressed."
Although he said so, the sword in his hand was out of the sheath, and the tip of the sword pointed at He Tingzhou's throat.
He Tingzhou didn't dodge or evade, looked at the cold sword blade and said: "I have lost all my internal strength now, and you are invincible in victory. I only wonder about one thing, you colluded with Lin Xiao and betrayed the Palace of Bliss. Is it for the position of palace lord, or for..."
He paused, and suddenly smiled.
Under the light of the sword, only his face was unparalleled, and he whispered: "Is it for the seat of the palace lord's wife?"
Chu Xi's face turned red and white, and she was speechless for a while.
He Tingzhou pinched the tip of the sword with his fingers. He had no strength in his hand, but with a light push, the blade was tilted to one side.
Chu Xi could barely hold the sword firmly, and after a while Fang said: "The palace lord already knew my intentions, so why bother to ask me why? I have my whole heart for the palace lord, and you are the only one in my heart, but what about you, the palace lord? There was Lin Yu first, and then there was Shen Yi, even if he sent someone out to handle errands, the palace lord still relied on Liu Yue more. In the eyes of the palace lord, he never saw me."
When he said this, there was a ruthless look in his eyes, and he said: "The people I can't get, of course I have to destroy them."
He Tingzhou laughed when he heard this, and said: "How do I treat you, don't you know? Lin Yu was born in a righteous way, so I can't trust him at all. As for Shen Yi... He was originally from Linglong Pavilion, the pavilion of Linglong Pavilion The Lord gave me a man, and I will always sell him some face."
"Really?" Chu Xi's eyes fluttered, she didn't know whether to believe it or not, and said, "Then what about that kid named Xu outside?"
"He?" He Tingzhou caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing outside the cave, but still said, "It's just an insignificant person, why do you mention him?"
"The palace lord should know my temperament best. The more you protect someone, the more I want to kill him. But when I asked you to choose one of those two, you chose Shen without hesitation. Meaning, hmph, who is the person you really want to save, do you think I can't see it?"
"I'm just afraid that Shen Yi will die, and I won't be able to explain it to his master. Where did I think so much?"
"Even if I go out and kill that person surnamed Xu now, the palace master won't feel bad?"
He Tingzhou looked at him and said: "My heart...isn't it always on you? When you were captured by Murong Shen, how did I save you? Did I ever spare my life? There are times when you play tricks, but in my heart, you are different from other people. I still remember the first time I saw you, you were also wearing a red dress, with a gold chain hanging around your ankles, and I said, 'this A gold chain with beautiful feet would look good, so the foster father kept you here."
His voice gradually lowered, with a hint of hoarseness, and he said, "Chu Xi, let me touch it, is the gold chain on your foot still there?"
Saying that, she reached out and grabbed the sword in Chu Xi's hand, and pulled it towards her.
With such good skill, Chu Xi couldn't stand up, and was pulled into his arms by him.
"Palace master..."
Just as Chu Xi called out, her voice was blocked by He Tingzhou's lips.
The room is full of charm.
While kissing him, He Tingzhou reached out his hand to touch his ankle, squeezed the gold chain, and then said with a low smile: "Sure enough, it's still there."
Chu Xi blushed and panted, "I betrayed the Palace Master and killed so many people from the Palace of Bliss, so the Palace Master doesn't blame me?"
He Tingzhou sneered and said: "As long as my sweetheart is safe and sound, what does it matter if everyone in the world is dead?"
Chu Xi was slightly moved.
He Tingzhou then continued: "Lin Xiao is cunning and untrustworthy, why do you have to work for him? Although I have temporarily lost my internal strength, as long as I use the technique of dual cultivation, I will be able to recover it in a few days. By then The two of you and I have joined forces to clean up the Lin family and father and son, and we can regain the power of the Palace of Bliss."
Chu Xi still hesitated: "But..."
"Are you practicing that evil skill, afraid that you will go crazy in the future?" He Tingzhou leaned close to Chu Xi's ear and said, "I am the only one who knows the internal skills and mind, so I can tell you right now..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Xi's expression changed suddenly, and she grabbed his wrist.
Between He Tingzhou's slender and jade-like fingers was a very thin silver needle, which almost pierced Chu Xi's vitals.
Chu Xi said bitterly: "Palace Master lied to me so hard, I almost fell for you."
He Tingzhou loosened his hand, and the silver needle landed quietly. He smiled slightly: "Oh? Are you sure you are not fooled?"
Chu Xi was shocked, she pushed He Tingzhou away and fell backwards, saying, "You...just now..."
He Tingzhou leaned back against the stone wall again, took out a red pill from his bosom, and said, "Before you came in, I had already taken the poison."
He licked his lips and said, "It's time for the toxicity to take hold, too?"
Chu Xi felt numb in her hands and feet, fell to the ground and asked, "Why is the palace master like this?"
The corner of He Tingzhou's mouth was already dripping with dark red blood. He didn't have the strength to wipe it off, so he continued intermittently: "Didn't I say it? It doesn't matter if everyone in the world dies, as long as..."
As long as the person he loves is safe and sound.
