This time it was Su Man's turn to be surprised, "You know that place too?"
Murong Jin took a deep breath and said, "All I know is that there is a kind of evil magic there. Anyone who has been there will be trapped by it for the rest of their life."
lifetime...
Su Man felt cold all over.
"Tell me quickly, have you ever been to the blessed land?" Murong Jin looked anxious.
Su Man still didn't know if Murong Jin was trustworthy, so she said half-truthfully, "I don't know either. I lost my memory some time ago due to some special reasons. When I recovered my memory, the only thing I remembered about the past was the four words 'Fudi Dongtian'."
Su Man asked, "What did you mean by being trapped by it?"
"this..."
Murong Jin looked hesitant, it seemed that there were some unknown secrets involved.
Finally, Murong Jin made up his mind and slowly spoke, "This is actually recorded in the Murong family's secret sect. It shouldn't be told to anyone outside the Murong family. But since Alliance Leader Yan was kind to my Murong family back then, and you and I are old acquaintances, I'll reveal a few things."
Su Man's eyes lit up. After running around like a headless fly for so long, she finally got some inside information. She hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
Murong Jin nodded. "My father told me this. That winter, a woman in her thirties came to see me. On the surface, she had a graceful and elegant demeanor. Even though her youth had faded, she still retained her charm. But my father said she had the pulses of two people."
Su Man's eyes flickered. Isn't that the same as her...
"It was from her that my father first heard of the place called 'Fudi Dongtian'."
Murong Jin paused and said, "She said that she was originally looked down upon by the world because of her ugly appearance. It was not until she went to the blessed land and cave that she gained a beautiful face."
"Since you have achieved what you wished for, why did you come to consult a doctor?"
"She said she was no longer in control of her body."
"What does that mean?"
"Have you ever heard of the wireworm?"
Su Man nodded hesitantly. "Are you talking about the wireworm that specifically parasitizes mantises?"
"Yes, a mantis parasitized by a nematode is doomed to die. This is because when the nematode inside the mantis matures, it must return to the water to lay eggs. At this time, the nematode will drive the mantis to find a water source and jump into the water to drown, giving it a chance to enter the water."
"Could it be that inside the blessed land is..."
For a moment, Suman seemed to have lost her ability to speak and didn't know how to describe it.
"After giving this example, she stopped talking and asked her father if there was any way to alleviate the pain. Her father had never heard of such a thing before, so he could only promise to help her look up ancient texts. The woman thanked him and stayed at a nearby inn. A few days later, her father wanted to invite her back for a follow-up visit, but he received news that she had died. The strangest thing was that her body had disappeared."
Murong Jin looked at Su Man with a worried look on his face, "If you had really been to that place, perhaps, you would also..."
Su Man thought of Alliance Leader Yan. His death was strange. Could it be that he did not die because of the suppression of the Chixia Sect, but because of other reasons?
The leader of the Yan Alliance died in the fire and his body was burned. He was buried in the suburbs of Jinyang by later generations.
Could it be...
The atmosphere became quiet.
Murong Jin thought Su Man was scared, and was just thinking about whether to say a few words of comfort when Su Man suddenly said, "It's getting late. Thank you for sending me back."
Murong Jin was stunned for a moment, but when he met Su Man's gaze, he realized that someone might be eavesdropping outside, and he gave a knowing smile.
"Sister Ling'er, you're welcome. I'll be leaving first."
-
The dew is heavy late at night.
Not long after Murong Jin left, Jian Anhe flashed in from outside.
Even though Su Man had already heard his footsteps outside the door, she still patted her chest and looked frightened, "It's late at night, why didn't you say a word when you came in? You scared me."
Jian Anhe closed the door casually and walked towards her with a smile, "Why, did I disturb your secret meeting with your lover?"
Su Man pushed his chest and said, "What are you talking about? Murong Jin and Yan Ling'er are old acquaintances. Dealing with him really exhausted me."
Jian Anhe didn't suspect anything and pinched her face, "Look at you, you always make me worry like this."
Suman:???
Are you serious?
Worried about Linlang? Worried that her insects were no longer poisonous, or worried that her insects couldn't reproduce?
Jian Anhe was still mumbling, "Today, I think Sect Leader Huo doesn't want to return the position of Alliance Leader to you. We still need to find a way."
"What method?" Su Man asked back.
"Didn't you refine some colorless and odorless poison before? Why not just put an end to it once and for all?"
Su Man smiled, "Now the leaders of all the major sects are here, and he and I are in conflict over the position of alliance leader. If he is poisoned, wouldn't I become the first suspect?"
Jian Anhe smiled. "The Kunlun Sect's leader, Sanxiao, has always been at odds with Huo Dihu. If we can cause a fight between the two of them, we can then pin the poisoning on the Kunlun Sect. Once they start fighting, there will undoubtedly be heavy casualties, and the others will naturally be nothing to fear."
Su Man glanced at Jian Anhe, her pupils raised from bottom to top, "It seems that you already have a solution?"
Jian Anhe smiled, "When I came here just now, I saw the guardian of the Fire Cloud Sect injuring the leg of Sanxiao's beloved disciple."
"oh?"
Jian Anhe smiled harmlessly, "It was just that the Dharma Protector happened to hear Sanxiao's beloved disciple speak disrespectfully to Sect Leader Huo. It's not a big deal, but the Dharma Protector got angry and broke the boy's leg directly."
