Chapter 200: The Gu Master Who Cultivated the Young Hero
In response to Lin Tang's words, Lin Zhi just smiled and did not give Qi He a status at this time.
Lin Tang did not pay much attention to her aunt's matter. Even though she did not know the inside story, she knew that her uncle had something important to do on this trip.
Due to the special terrain, Qinhe Valley often has some new things. Lin Tang plans to go around and Qi He goes with her.
"Brother Xiaohe, why do you want to buy me a hairpin? That's too polite."
Thinking about what Qi He had just said, Lin Tang said somewhat flattered.
"It's okay. I should buy it for you. Go and pick it out."
Qi He held the sword with a gentle posture.
He still remembered that when Lin Tang was a child, she said she wanted her aunt to buy her a silk flower to tie her hair. He couldn't do these things, but as an elder, it was his responsibility to buy a pearl hairpin for the child.
Lin Tang couldn't help but touch the back of his hand to suppress the strange feeling.
What's going on? Why does it feel so strange, but I can't seem to tell what's strange.
Thinking about Qi He's words, Lin Tang thought that Qi He was buying things for him on behalf of his uncle, so he happily went to choose things.
Although her dress was eye-catching, it was not considered weird in today's Qinhe Valley. Lin Tang happily picked out the pearl hairpin and went to the gouache shop to buy a few boxes of ointment. She thought that Brother Xiaohe was such a good man and she didn't realize that her Brother Xiaohe was thinking about how to make her change her words.
Tomorrow is the day of the Sword Cleansing Meeting, and many people are looking forward to it.
Unlike the fame that could be gained from a martial arts tournament, there would be real benefits if one won a place in the Sword Washing Contest.
There were inferior swords, axes and some sharp treasures, but the scale of Qinhe Valley was relatively small this time, and there were no famous swords as the top prizes. But because the city lord Chen of Qinhe Valley had many friends and retainers, many people came to show their support.
Lin Zhi also met Ying Shuang, an acquaintance of hers, in the inn. Ying Shuang was a disciple of Lingshan Sect who had fought with Qi He in the martial arts competition.
It had been a few days since they last met, so Ying Shuang and Qu Ziheng had a lively time together and made an appointment to go to the Sword Washing Club together tomorrow.
The candle in the guest room was on. After Lin Zhi finished feeding the poisonous insect, he saw the prompt presented by 01 in his mind. Someone was moving quickly in their direction and was outside the window in a flash.
Qi He noticed something and tightened his sword.
"Son of Heaven, Young Master Qi, my master invites you to the City Lord's Mansion for a chat."
The person outside the window looked like a ghost, and his voice was deep and deep.
When Qi He heard this voice, his jaw tightened and the aura around him suddenly turned cold.
He will never forget this voice. Even though it is different from a few years ago, it has not changed much.
Qi He never forgot, and even remembered the threats and questions he said.
"Young Master Qi, we are reunited as old friends. All those people you want to see are waiting for you in the mansion. We didn't find you many years ago, but now you can't wait to find us. Let's end it tonight. There will be no time left. Tomorrow, the Sword Washing Meeting will start and we will disperse. It won't be easy for you to find us again after this."
Qi He's face became colder and colder, and the copper coins flew out from between his fingers and headed towards the figure outside the window.
The thin copper coin scratched through the window paper and hit the man's throat. The man dodged immediately, but his facial skin was also scratched.
He turned around and left without saying a word.
Qi He tried his best to suppress his anger. Although he knew that the other party was deliberately provoking him so that he would chase after him and take revenge immediately, he still suppressed this impulse.
Lin Zhi looked at the cold-looking young man who was not blinded by hatred, and held his hand.
"It turns out the highlight is tonight."
The person who set up the plan clearly wanted to lure people into a trap. Qinhe Valley is the outer layer, and the City Lord's Mansion is the inner layer. Tomorrow will be the Sword Washing Meeting, and whether they come out alive or die in it, these people should have something to say.
He thought so because they would not not go, and obviously the person who planned it also knew this.
Using the whereabouts of your enemies as bait is hard to resist.
What's more, Qi He has more than one enemy, and he doesn't want to miss any of them.
Blood Rose is not a fool, and even a fool would not be able to stay in charge of the Central Plains martial arts world for so long.
"I'll go find Xiaotang and Haiye, you go talk to Qu Ziheng and the others."
Qi He nodded. The tacit understanding between master and disciple was revealed at this moment. They understood each other without having to communicate too much.
When Lin Tang heard what Lin Zhi said, she was shocked by the information. She wanted to follow Lin Zhi without hesitation, but was stopped by Lin Zhi.
"I have more important things for you to do, and it needs you."
Lin Zhi briefly told Lin Tang how to deal with different situations and gave him detailed instructions.
Lin Tang understood quickly and said, "Uncle, don't worry. I will definitely do what you told me to do. You and Brother Xiaohe should pay attention to your safety. If I don't see you tomorrow, I will turn the City Lord's Mansion upside down!"
On Qu Ziheng's side, the two of them were angry and anxious when they suddenly learned about their friend's life experience, and they also wanted to go with Qi He.
"At this critical moment, how could we not help out just because we care about our lives?"
The heroes in the martial arts world value friendship over their own lives. Qu Ziheng and Yan Yixuan would never watch their friends fall into danger without caring about anything.
"Brother Qu, Sister Yan, you can't go. If anything happens to you, we won't be able to explain it. You must ensure your own safety and be careful of anyone, even those in your sect. Don't trust them all."
Qi He advised that he didn't need Qu Ziheng and the others' help for revenge, but he needed them to be alive.
The Akabane Clan not only wants to silence him and get the Ice Jade Lotus, they also want to bury the past completely. To this end, they will stop at nothing to silence anyone who might know the truth.
Qi He briefly explained the seriousness of the matter. After Lin Zhi and Lin Tang finished their conversation, they had already started making secret arrangements and met Hai Ye again.
The night was getting dark, and it had only been dark for a short while, but the streets were still bustling.
Lin Zhi and Qi He went towards the City Lord's Mansion. Someone was waiting at the door, respectfully inviting them in.
The bright lights under the eaves made the shadows even darker.
Lin Zhi and the others were led to the hall, but there was no sign of City Lord Chen.
The hall was not what Lin Zhi and the others had imagined. Once they entered, it was full of people and swords. It was very quiet inside, with only two men sitting there.
One had bloodstains on his face and was thin, while the other was burly and had a beard.
The bearded man saw that there were only two of them coming, his eyes widened like bells, and he said in a voice as loud as a bell: "I don't know whether you are arrogant or looking for death. You knew it was a trap, but you came here anyway. Those sissy people are scared to death. It's ridiculous. I will meet you first. You little blind man who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, can make those people so afraid? You have been living in vain."
While he was talking, Lin Zhi looked at the map in his mind. There seemed to be two people here, but the red dots representing people on the map were densely packed.
Lin Zhi looked down at his feet. At this moment, the thin and tall man next to him twisted the mechanism, causing a slight vibration under his feet. After a while, a big crack suddenly appeared on the originally flat and empty ground next to him. The thick stone slabs opened to both sides, shaking off the dust.
The thin man said, "Not only about the past, I think you also want to know the whereabouts of that old madman Qi Hengduan..."
The man did not finish his words, but laughed deliberately and jumped into the cave.
Perhaps Qi He's copper coin scared him. Lin Zhi could sense his eagerness to leave, and he did not have the confidence of the bearded man at all.
"Walking so fast," the big man muttered, picked up his two copper hammers, looked at Lin Zhi and the others and continued, "Then let's go downstairs and fight."
His eyes fell on Lin Zhi's face, and he chuckled, "Don't worry, beautiful girl. When I greet you later, I will definitely avoid your face. It would be ugly if the brains of such a pretty face were smashed out."
The big man paused as soon as he finished speaking because he felt an extremely cold murderous intent.
Under the mechanism, many people looked up, waiting for Qi He and the others to come down.
The thin man couldn't help but touch the scabby bloodstain on his face, and said with a sinister look: "When the people come down, we will do it. We must not leave anyone alive."
Soon something fell from above, hitting the ground hard and raising dust.
After the dust settled, everyone looked closely and saw that the thin man's pupils had dilated, and the others were also a little horrified.
The sturdy man who looked like a small meat mountain didn't move, his eyes were still wide open, his head was slightly deflated due to the impact on the ground, blood plasma was stuck to his beard, and there was a big hole in his heart, he was already dead.
A figure leaped down from above, the white silk on the blind boy's eyes fluttered in the wind, and the tip of the sword dripped with still warm blood.
Just as Lin Zhi expected, the red dots he saw on the map were all hidden underground. There was not just a narrow cavity three meters long and wide, but a very wide area.
With a shout of "Kill", many people rushed up with weapons.
In the City Lord's Mansion, City Lord Chen walked out from the darkness and reached out to twist the mechanism.
The heavy stone slab slowly recovered, and during this gap, several shadows suddenly jumped in one after another, shocking him.
When the dull sound was heard and the ground returned to normal, City Lord Chen's heart was still beating wildly.
The sounds of wailing, screaming and the clashing of swords were blocked out, and silence returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
Torches were burning below, and broken limbs and flesh were flying everywhere.
Lin Zhi played the Gu flute, controlling several poisonous insects to drill into people's wounds. He stood in a corner, and Qi He was in front of him, his bamboo-colored clothes stained with the enemy's blood.
Several figures landed on the ground and joined the fight without saying a word.
Among the people who came were two secret guards arranged by Lin Zhi, as well as Hai Ye and his followers. What surprised Lin Zhi slightly was Ying Shuang's appearance here.
Ying Shuang waved his spear and said, "It's so lively, I naturally want to join in."
Disciples of Lingshan Sect will never miss any opportunity to pretend to be masters! This is the secret of their success with a small number of people!
The situation reversed in an instant, from Qi He stepping on the ants alone, to several people stepping on them together. After several people went in and out, they soon almost dealt with all the people here.
The corpses were scattered all over the ground. The thin man was still alive. He couldn't help but step back when he saw the young man coming forward with a sword, not hiding the fear on his face.
"Are all the people from that year here?"
"It's all here, I can lead the way for you."
The man endured the severe pain, his voice trembling, and he only thought about saving his life and escaping to the hall master.
The next moment the man felt a little cold and stared blankly at the body that was separated from him, as if he didn't understand what was happening.
The man's head flew out and rolled to the ground, still retaining the daze before death.
Qi He still looked like a handsome young man, but his temperament was far from his previous gentle appearance and was filled with a bloody smell.
Lin Zhi held his hand and led him inside.
This warmth not only spread to Qi He's palms, but also climbed up to his heart. He shook his hand silently.
In the long alley, the candlesticks are a little far apart, and the lights are dim, like ghostly ghost lights.
A copper coin popped out from Qi He's fingertips and nailed it to the ground. Suddenly, dense hidden arrows shot out from both sides of the road.
Qi He tried the mechanism and pushed open the stone door, and was greeted by a palm wind.
Qi He hugged Lin Zhi's waist and leaned back to avoid the attack.
Lin Zhi's secret guards went in first, holding knives.
In the chaotic fight, Qi He did not see the person in charge. These were just people from the Chiyu Sect sent out to wear them down, and the real tough guys were still behind.
Lin Zhi's gaze fell on Hai Ye. This Ming Wang's martial arts skills were very superb, and in his opinion, they were not inferior to Qi He. Considering that he knew the prescription, Lin Zhi thought that he might have also taken the pills.
Hai Ye used palm techniques. The skin and flesh of those he hit seemed to be burned, and they fell to the ground and died soon after.
After three rounds, Lin Zhi's two secret guards and Hai Ye's followers were injured. Most of Qi He's blue clothes were covered with blood, and even the white silk blindfold was stained with blood.
After pushing open the last stone door, more than ten people were seen sitting in the spacious hall.
Sitting on the main seat was a woman wearing a dark blue silk dress with her hair tied up in a bun. She had a thin face and a cold look. She had a silver rose ring on her finger and her eyes met Lin Zhi's.
Lin Zhi suddenly felt that the face looked familiar, and it took him a while to remember why it looked familiar.
The Gu Master who stole the Mind-Controlling Gu and died in his hands looked somewhat similar to the woman in front of him.
It turns out that Blood Rose is Duoyi's sister. No wonder Duoyi stole the mind-controlling Gu and ran away. At that time, he asked his sister to investigate. Duoyi did not have a lover, but she had a missing sister. However, because there were no other clues, Lin Zhi had to put this matter aside for the time being. But now it is clear.
As he had guessed, the whereabouts of the mind-controlling insect was related to Qi He's affairs. He just didn't know who Blood Rose used the mind-controlling insect on.
Although the tall and thin man mentioned Qi Hengduan before his death, Lin Zhi felt that it was not this old man. If it was him, he would not have disappeared for so long.
"Today is a great day. Everyone I want to see is here. Let's get started."
The woman turned the rose ring on her hand and said nothing more.
The dozen or so people who were sitting and the people who appeared in secret attacked the people who were surrounded in the center. Lin Zhi used his luck and lightness skills to avoid the attacks and blew the Gu flute.
There are stone walls on all sides here, blocking the entry of insects and snakes. Lin Zhike can only control a few poisonous insects.
However, those people did not pay too much attention to him, and mainly attacked Qi He and Hai Ye.
Lin Zhi's flute sounded urgent. When he came in, he discovered the identities of several of the people sitting there. They were all from various major sects. Now it could explain why the Qi family members died in different ways and their martial arts came from different sects.
Perhaps it was not just about disrupting the situation, but the people who took action were originally from the holy religions of various sects.
Lin Zhi quickly figured out that these people came in the name of participating in the Sword Washing Meeting. No matter whether these people were dead or alive, they could throw dirty water on them and turn them into public enemies of the martial arts world.
What a good plan! Lin Zhi sneered. Under his control, the poisonous insect burrowed into the flesh and blood of others.
The entry of the poisonous insect left the man vulnerable to many attacks, and he soon died under Qi He's sword.
With a dozen or so masters attacking together, one of Lin Zhi's secret guards was soon killed, and the other one was also injured but was still guarding him.
Hai Ye's followers were also injured, as was Ying Shuang, but they continued to swing their spears.
Qi He's swordsmanship was mysterious and unpredictable, coupled with his graceful body movements, he was never at a disadvantage even though he was blind. Hai Ye's palm wind was strong and overbearing, and as he killed more people, his emerald green eyes became bloodshot and more evil.
Lin Zhi controlled the poisonous insect to help them, and stopped the woman on the main seat as soon as she moved.
The two of them quickly clashed with each other. Lin Zhi took a few steps back. The woman's skirt fluttered and she quickly rushed towards Lin Zhi.
"I was planning to kill you in the end. I wanted to keep you alive and torture you as a sacrifice to my sister's spirit in heaven. I didn't expect you to be so ignorant."
The fingers on the woman's right hand were thin and slender, which was totally inconsistent with her age. She looked like an eighty-year-old woman. Her skin was wrinkled like tree bark and was dark purple in color.
Lin Zhi blocked with a dagger, and the sharp blade made a harsh sound when it collided with the woman's fingers. The woman broke the dagger. Lin Zhi dodged sideways and blew the flute.
The poisonous insects flew towards the woman, and she crushed one of them to death.
The woman's expression was one of disgust, as if she was extremely disgusted.
She attacked again. Lin Zhi's guards struggled with her, but the woman was very evil. Her hand was like a sharp blade, piercing directly through the man's belly.
Lin Zhi threw the poisonous fog to cover himself, helped the guard to the side, pressed a few of his acupoints to help him stop the bleeding, and dodged to the side to meet the enemy.
He squeezed open a few Gu pills and scattered them on the ground, then dripped some blood into them and responded with a piccolo.
Qi He heard his master's breath that something was wrong in the chaos, so he stabbed the man in the abdomen with his sword, picked up the man and threw the body towards the woman. He then moved to Lin Zhi's side, put his arms around his waist and protected him in his arms.
Qi He smelled the blood and asked anxiously, "Master, are you hurt?"
"No problem."
Lin Zhi suffered some minor injuries, but they were not fatal.
When a knife attacked, Qi He raised his hand to counter it with the sword, twisting his wrist to break the momentum with the knife technique.
Lin Zhi felt that this was hindering his ability to fight the enemy, so he let go.
"It's better for Master to be by my side than for me to not see him."
Qi He was very stubborn. He put his arm around Lin Zhi's waist and fought the enemy with one hand, and his lightness skills were still not hindered.
"I feel at ease only when Master is with me."
Qi He's voice was as gentle as ever, with a hint of pleading in it, but the broadsword in his hand showed no mercy. The blood of the man whose throat was cut splattered and landed on Qi He's face, but there was still a smile on the corner of his lips.
There was no other thought in Qi He's mind, only one idea.
Kill everyone here, take revenge, and protect the master.
This state is already somewhat crazy, which makes people feel creepy.
Someone saw that the blind boy was protecting someone in his arms, and felt that they had found a flaw, so they attacked him. However, they did not expect that Qi He's attack would be even more powerful and fierce than before.
The sword stirred up a sharp wind, and the fragments of the teacups that were broken in the battle were absorbed and shot into people's bodies, causing them excruciating pain.
Ying Shuang was stunned. Is this even possible?
Hai Ye looked at the person not far away with a complicated expression, and raised his hand to greet the leader of the old Holy Church.
Lin Zhi smelled the increasingly strong smell of blood on Qi He's body, and urged the Gu bell to control the Gu insect to help.
In Qinhe Valley, the moonlight is as usual.
Lin Tang, Qu Yan and the other two were not very calm and were observing the situation outside the City Lord's Mansion.
“These people are despicable.”
Lin Tang paced back and forth, very angry.
"I thought the city lord was a good person, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person. I'm so angry."
Yan Yixiuan had once called the city lord "uncle", but now she just wanted to scold him.
The knock on the door startled the three of them, and Qu Ziheng looked surprised after opening the door.
"Master!"
Taoist Master Yunxu, who rushed over after receiving the letter, nodded to these young people, and asked the person arranged by Lin Zhi to lead the way for him to come in and inquire about the details.
In the stone hall under the City Lord's Mansion, Qi He's green clothes had almost been dyed blood red, and Lin Zhi was not spared either.
Qi He was injured, but he was well protected.
Even so, Lin Zhi did not let Qi He let him go for Qi He's own good.
If Qi He could see him, he wouldn't have to do this, but Qi He can't see. The more he can't see, the more he will think about it, and it would be extremely dangerous if he becomes possessed.
The sound of bells rang in the hall, and even Hai Ye couldn't help but change his expression slightly, because this sound did not come from Lin Zhi, but from Xue Qiangwei's hand.
Lin Zhi let out a breath. The person who was poisoned by the mind-controlling Gu was right here. He had noticed it long ago because there was a red dot that had never moved, and he could roughly guess who the poisoned person was.
As the silver bell rang, a tall man in black walked out of the darkness.
He didn't look young, his temples were slightly gray, and his eyes seemed a little empty.
The woman ordered: "Kill them."
The man dragged a big knife, which left marks on the ground, and swept up a huge amount of energy when he swung it.
When he moved, Lin Zhi whispered in Qi He's ear: "This may be Cui Xian, the leader of the Chiyu Sect. I will take care to protect myself. You focus on fighting the enemy."
Lin Zhi has to make different responses in different situations. This person is different from others, and Qi He needs to be extremely alert. His martial arts skills are ranked second only to Taoist Yunxu in the martial arts world.
Because of his martial arts and style of doing things, even though he rarely showed up in all these years, the people in the Chiyu Sect did not dare to cause too much trouble to each other. It was also because of his existence that the Chiyu Sect became the number one evil sect in the Central Plains.
However, the higher the martial arts skills a person has, the stronger his ability to resist the poisonous insects. Lin Zhi retreated to the back and supported Ying Shuang, who was seriously injured, and stared at the Blood Rose.
The silver ring on her hand was stained with blood, and it seemed to bloom more brightly.
Cui Xian used the unique sword technique of the Akabane Sect. The sword was icy cold, which further verified Lin Zhi's guess.
The woman looked at her subordinates who were lying on the ground, some of them dead or dying, and frowned and said, "A bunch of trash."
She approached her surviving subordinate, who was an elder of Zuiyue Sect. Lin Zhi had met him at a martial arts competition before.
Seeing the hall master approaching, hope lit up in the man's eyes, and he wanted the master to save him.
But in a moment, he felt a sharp pain in his dantian. He looked in disbelief at the woman who inserted her hand into his dantian and sucked away his internal energy. He spat out a mouthful of blood and died.
Ying Shuang took a breath and said in shock: “Look at her hands.”
Lin Zhi saw that Blood Rose's right hand, which was like a dead branch, seemed to have absorbed enough blood and energy and slowly became plump and white, which looked particularly strange.
Cui Xian fought one against two and held the two men back. Blood Rose killed all of her subordinates who were still alive one by one. The rose ring on her hand had been stained red with blood.
After trying her luck, she didn't even glance at the person in the corner and attacked the two of them.
All the people here are those she hates. She hates the new leader for killing the old leader she was loyal to, and she hates Qi He for not really dying a few years ago.
Above them, the City Lord's Mansion welcomed guests.
City Lord Chen looked at Taoist Yunxu who came to visit him late at night and gave a forced smile.
All sounds were blocked out. Taoist Yunxu inquired about Qi He's whereabouts, completely unaware that a desperate fight was going on underground.
Qi He and Hai Ye were both injured to varying degrees, and they had no tacit understanding in fighting each other, but they were not at a disadvantage either.
Qi He's sword swung faster and faster, sparks flew against Cui Xian's knife. One of them had outstanding sword skills while the other used knife skills overbearingly. They used their lightness skills to reach the air from the ground. The tables and chairs were all blown away by the impact of their internal energy, and deep knife or sword marks were left on the stone wall.
Compared to this side, Haiye seems to be having more difficulty.
Hai Ye and Xue Qiangwei both used the mental methods of the Western Region Holy Church, so they did not gain any advantage. Xue Qiangwei absorbed the internal force and fought back forcefully. Hai Ye slapped her and his left abdomen was pierced.
The woman seemed to want to tear out Hai Ye along with his intestines, and rushed towards him without caring about her injuries.
Ying Shuang was regulating his breathing and did not forget to talk to Lin Zhi about the exercises.
Lin Zhi had no intention of answering and just looked at Qi He.
Qi He and Cui Xian were evenly matched in the fight. The stone hall seemed not wide enough, and one corner was shattered by Qi He's internal energy.
Qi He judged Cui Xian's moves and attacked his vital point. Cui Xian blocked with his sword, but for some reason he was dazed and became a little slow.
Lin Zhi saw clearly that Cui Xian's eyes gradually became bright and he broke free from the control of the insect.
This is not good news. If Cui Xian wakes up and insists on killing them, he will be more dangerous than when he is a puppet.
However, Cui Xian, who had just regained consciousness, did not immediately swing his knife at Qi He. Instead, he turned around to protect Blood Rose and blocked Hai Ye's fatal palm for her.
Hai Ye used all his strength in this palm strike. Cui Xian staggered and blood flowed from the corner of his lips.
Cui Xian moved his lips: "Wanyue..."
Wanyue was not grateful for his risking his life to save her. Instead, she looked at him with disappointment.
They were lovers before, but Cui Xian later discovered her identity as a member of the Western Region Holy Church. He wanted her to concentrate on working for the Chiyu Sect and even wanted to imprison her. Naturally, she didn't want to do that, so she cast a mind-controlling Gu on him in an attempt to control him.
In order to stay awake, Cui Xian often practiced in seclusion. They had fought many times over the years. Wanyue did not expect that he would wake up at this time and block a palm for her.
She really couldn't understand this man. Wouldn't he be relieved if she died? Naturally, she didn't want to die.
Cui Xian's heart was churning, and he turned around with his knife in hand and looked at Hai Ye.
Hai Ye was already somewhat exhausted, and he secretly controlled his breathing and retreated.
Cui Xian walked forward, but the next moment he staggered, supported his body with the knife, and lowered his head in disbelief.
A hand pierced his heart, a woman's slender and tender hand.
"I've already said it before. How can you be the best in the world if you are so soft-hearted?"
Cui Xian was seriously injured and might not be able to deal with these two people. Wanyue didn't like twists and turns, so she decided to do it herself.
This situation shocked everyone, and Ying Shuang sighed in horror.
Lin Zhi didn't find it scary. Who said that women had to be soft-hearted because of love? Although he did not approve of her methods, she might be more suitable to be the leader of the Chiyu Sect than Cui Xian.
Ying Shuang asked anxiously, "What should we do now?"
If this continues, they might all die at the hands of this woman.
Lin Zhi didn't answer, but just touched the silver bell on his wrist.
Wanyue almost tore off a piece of Haiye's flesh, and his green eyes were a little dim. Qi He attacked Wanyue and saved him from death.
The woman absorbed all of Cui Xian's power and attacked at almost the cost of her life. Her blood-stained hands collided with the Yunyue Sword, leaving bloodstains on the sword.
She held the Yunyue Sword and wanted to break it, but Qi He simply let go and attacked with his palm.
Wanyue's right hand is as white as a girl's, in contrast to her normal left hand.
His five fingers hooked into claws and cut through Qi He's protective qi, leaving deep blood marks on his hands.
Lin Zhi frowned slightly, and touched the bell anxiously.
Qi He had already consumed a lot of internal energy in the process of fighting Cui Xian, and now he had a hard time facing Wan Yue.
Ying Shuang wanted to save Qi He, but was slapped by Wanyue and vomited blood. He fell to the side weakly with a pale face.
Seeing that Wanyue's hand was about to stab into Qi He's abdomen, the sound of silver bells driven by internal energy rang out.
Wanyue suddenly knelt on the ground, covered her abdomen, and said uncontrollably: "Impossible, when did you put the Gu on me!"
The situation reversed in an instant, from adversity to prosperity.
Lin Zhi did not answer, but just urged the Gu Bell with an indifferent expression.
The poisonous insect caused the woman to feel great pain and had difficulty breathing.
Qi He stood up. His robe had been stained blood, and the white silk blindfold he had covered had also been taken off.
Hai Ye said, "Wait, this is the person I taught. I hope I can take him back and deal with him."
There are still some people in the sect who are not content. If they take Nv Wanyue back, not to mention the old members in the Central Plains, those people in the sect should also give up their thoughts.
Qi He asked: "Where is my grandpa?"
The woman was shaking with pain from the poisonous insects. She smiled and said, "Why should I tell you?"
She looked at Lin Zhi hatefully and said, "I should have killed you first."
She didn't feel the poisonous insect approaching at all, and had no idea when Lin Zhi had poisoned her.
Qi He didn't like being controlled by others, and he definitely wouldn't let this person keep him in suspense with information he didn't know whether it was true or not. He killed Wanyue without blinking an eye, and only drew his sword after making sure she was dead.
Hai Ye wanted to talk but stopped. Lin Zhi looked at him and shook the Gu bell on her wrist at him. The meaning was obvious.
He had no right to make demands, otherwise he would have tasted the poison.
He did not cast a curse on Wanyue directly. The more powerful a person is, the more sensitive he is to such things. When Wanyue absorbed the first person's internal energy, he let Tianxing fly to the living person, and then drilled into Wanyue's body, waiting for the opportunity.
Hai Ye stopped talking. He didn't know when Lin Zhi had cast the poison on him. This feeling of being unprepared was unpleasant.
Although his revenge was achieved, Qi He did not feel happy, but only endless exhaustion.
Only when he stumbled and hugged his master did Qi He feel that he was alive again.
"Master, I avenged my parents, but why can't I be happy?"
The hatred that supported him seemed to grow in his bones, but now it has been drained away, and besides relief, there is only emptiness.
He had clearly imagined many times how he would torture his enemies at this moment, making them wish they were neither alive nor dead, and making them repent in agony for the wrong things they had done. But the reality was that he just wanted to kill them quickly and could not tolerate them breathing any longer.
Lin Zhi held Qi He's blood-stained long hair. He was so smart, how could he not know why he was in such a state of mind? He just needed a little comfort or care, enough warmth to help him get out of the haze.
He sighed softly: "The dead are gone, and the living are like this."
Qi He closed his eyes, listened to his master's heartbeat, and felt the gentleness of his palms. After a while, he said, "Master, please accompany me home."
"good."
Ying Shuang had already fallen unconscious, but Hai Ye was still holding on. He was reluctant to leave Wan Yue's body and wanted to take it away.
With 01 around, Lin Zhi could easily find the exit. Of course, he used the poisonous insect to explore the way.
Qi He carried Ying Shuang on his back. Lin Zhi wanted to support her herself, but Qi He didn't want his master to support others, so he simply carried her himself. As for Hai Ye, he and his followers walked out slowly. It was not appropriate for them to show up in front of others.
The exit led directly to a private house. They were not in a hurry to go their separate ways as there were still people from the Akabane Sect guarding outside.
Lin Zhi is fine, but there are still injured people.
Lin Zhi let the insect fly out to find Lin Tang. Lin Tang was very excited when he received the letter and rushed here with people.
There was another fight. Qi He's men and Qu Ziheng were very efficient and broke through the defense line in a short while.
Taoist Yunxu was still negotiating with City Lord Chen, so even if the City Lord received the letter, he would not dare to come.
Qu Ziheng was shocked to see Ying Shuang unconscious, and quickly took people to see a doctor.
Qi He stayed in the inn to recuperate, while Lin Zhi came to visit him again.
Because it involved people from various sects, Taoist Yunxu immediately wrote a letter to ask people from other sects to come. As for the matter of the Chiyu Sect, it was taken over by other people from their sect. Of course, Taoist Yunxu specially exchanged some conditions and took away a few things that Lin Zhi mentioned.
The sword-washing meeting on the second day was naturally cancelled, but the excitement of the martial artists remained unabated.
The Western Demon Cult's invasion of the Central Plains martial arts world for fifty years has aroused the people's enthusiasm, and the Chiyu Sect's already poor reputation has plummeted.
Many evil people who harm the martial arts world are unwilling to associate with those who betray the Central Plains martial arts world. This also shows the complexity of human nature.
In this incident, the dispute between the old and new members of the Western Region Holy Church was naturally concealed, so in the eyes of outsiders, it was Qi He who was seeking revenge and wiped out the leader of the Akagi Sect, killed the leader of the First Hall, and killed all the people who were planted by the Western Region Holy Church in the Central Plains sects.
Lin Zhi was the Holy Son of the Gu Cult, and many people scolded him for being evil yesterday, but the next day he was praised for being loyal and righteous.
Not only that, Ying Shuang's reputation also rose rapidly, and everyone couldn't help but sigh that Lingshan Sect really produced talented people in every generation.
Ying Shuang spoke modestly with a smile. It was well known that disciples of Lingshan Sect had always been indifferent to fame and fortune.
Regarding the matter of City Lord Chen colluding with the Chiyu Sect, Taoist Yunxu and his colleagues held a secret meeting and invited Qi He and Lin Zhi to sit in.
City Lord Chen is not a pure martial artist. He is first and foremost the local official and a member of the imperial court.
Taoist Master Yunxu wrote a letter to inform the Six Gates and asked them to handle the matter.
Each sect left with mixed feelings, planning to continue investigating themselves to see if there were any other traitors. For a while, there was a wave of sect investigation in the martial arts world.
As agreed, Lin Zhi gave the Ice Jade Lotus to Hai Ye.
Hai Ye was seriously injured and did not leave for the time being. Instead, he rested and Lin Tang took care of him.
Lin Zhi didn't know how to start with this matter. He was worried that the more he made things difficult, the more Lin Tang would refuse to let go, so he just had someone keep an eye on him.
Before Qi He recovered from his injuries and went to Chunyi, he went to see Lin Tang.
He didn't bring white silk, but his eyes could still sense the difference in light. However, Qi He was very optimistic about this, at least there was no more gray.
Qi He asked: "Have you finished refining your Tong Xin Gu?"
He still remembered that when they were talking about love Gu, the little girl told him with great joy that she would definitely refine the most powerful love Gu, the Heart Gu, which represented life and death together, and give it to her future husband to eat, even though she had no idea what love was.
Lin Tang didn't expect him to bring this up and shook his head blankly.
Lin Tang whispered: "You have to have someone you like before you can practice with that kind of mindset."
"Then let's refine it. After it's refined, we'll see if he's willing to eat it."
Lin Tang's eyes lit up and he asked, "If he is willing, you won't hate him anymore, right?"
Qi He: "If he is willing, we don't hate him, but you can't eat it."
Lin Tang was stunned, twisting his fingers and said, "Brother Xiaohe, I don't understand."
"A man wants to eat the love poison, but will he swallow the poison worm for the sake of the poison girl?"
Lin Tang replied subconsciously: "Of course not."
Not everyone in the village can make Gu. If two people are Gu Masters, then they will swallow the love Gu given by the other. If only one person is a Gu Master, and the Gu Master has not made the Love Gu, naturally there is no Gu to swallow. But her Gu already represents her love, and she cannot make a new one unless the Gu dies.
"The Gu is just an experiment. If it is heartless, then what you get from the Gu is not love."
Lin Tang nodded seriously: "I've made a note of it."
Lin Tang asked curiously: "But how come you understand so well, Brother Xiaohe? Do you have someone you like?"
Qi He smiled and said, "Yes, you will know in the future."
Lin Zhi and his group want to go to Chunyi, and they can do so by land.
Before leaving, everyone waved goodbye.
This matter is over, see you again in the world.
After arriving in Chunyi, the storyteller in the teahouse was talking about the latest news in the world.
"It is said that the incident of Qin He washing his sword arose, and the young hero of the Qi family came back to life. Last time, it was mentioned that the young hero of the Qi family participated in the martial arts competition under a false name..."
The audience was so excited that they didn't even notice the person they were discussing was passing by the door.
Before Lin Zhi came, someone had already taken care of the Qi residence. Qi He reorganized his parents' graves, and his own was filled in.
Qi He stayed in front of his parents' grave for a long time. Lin Zhi looked at him quietly, watching his true expression.
However, something was beyond Lin Zhi's expectations. He did not find anything related to cats in Qi's house, but he was not in a hurry.
After paying homage to their parents, Qi He and Lin Zhi went to Huo Wushuang.
But what they waited for was only a joint burial tomb. It turned out that Mrs. Huo had passed away during the martial arts competition. Huo Wushuang didn't want to disturb them, so he wrote the letter with grief and went with his wife.
The August wind makes people feel a little melancholy, the willows by the pond sway, and the sound of farewell music never stops.
"Master should be happy when he leaves, Master. We will be happy too, right?"
Qi He didn't say what it was, but they all knew what it was.
"Of course I'll take you with me wherever I go."
Lin Zhi took this as a response, and Qi He smiled.
The layer of window paper between them was so thin that it was almost gone. Except for the kissing and sleeping together that they didn't do until the end, they did almost everything that lovers do, not what master and disciple do.
Lin Zhi naturally wouldn't take the initiative to speak, and just waited to see how long Qi He would be ready.
It's spring again, and the apricot blossoms are white in April.
On Qi He's eighteenth birthday, he gave out the gift he had prepared for a long time.
It was an exquisite silver chain with a specially made Gu bell on it.
"I can't see the pattern, but Zhao Yun and the others said it looks good. I hope Master will like it."
He did not talk about how a blind man like him made the Gu Bell, but the difficulty involved.
"Today is not your birthday, why are you giving me a gift?"
"I want to please Master so that he will agree to the birthday gift I asked for."
Apricot blossoms fell on Qi He's shoulders. His tone was gentle but firm: "Master, I want you. I love you."
The young man’s spring clothes are thin, but his heart is heavy.
Lin Zhi untied the chain on her wrist, placed her hand on Qi He's palm, and said, "Put it on me."
In this case, it is allowed.
Even Qi He was overjoyed and hugged his master contentedly.
He would not speak until he was absolutely sure, and he felt that he had to show enough care before he could express it to his master.
The original light kiss eventually changed and moved from outside to inside the house.
Although Qi He was an apprentice who committed insubordination, he was extremely obedient and only wanted to wait until this day to perform the ceremony of husband and wife.
However, what he didn't expect was that because he couldn't see, he was a little anxious and reckless the first time and didn't hold on to anything, causing him to bump off the road and fail to get in immediately, like a person who couldn't find his way.
The tender part was sticky. The talented young man never thought that he would make such a mistake and completely let his brain go out of his mind.
Lin Zhi laughed so hard that her whole body trembled, and finally she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Hahahaha this is just too cute. He was sure that this wasn't something Qi He had carefully designed, so it made it even funnier.
Qi He turned red from head to toe, and wished he could regain his sight right now.
