"You don't have to worry about him," Black Widow held Tang Zhao's hand and walked along the corridor. Her walking posture was graceful and elegant, and her skirt hardly trembled when she took steps, like a duckweed crossing water.
The two of them walked slowly, no one was disturbing them around, only the autumn wind blew the fallen leaves dancing in the air.
"He has a way to cure himself, and for a while he is like a normal person. Although the people in the Prosecution Department are a bunch of mad dogs, they still cherish their lives and will not think of committing suicide."
At this time, the sun was just right, and the autumn wind was surprisingly gentle. The sun shone on his body, gradually warming him up. Tang Zhao slowly recovered from his panic and said, "You...you knew earlier that this sword would kill him?"
Black Widow said: "I guessed it. Swords may have various qualities, but none of them is useless. Of course it won't be the one he values so much."
temperament?
Sword?
People have temperaments, and swords also have temperaments?
Tang Zhao asked: "But why? He knew he would get hurt and still asked me to chop him?"
Black Widow smiled and said: "It's probably a test of the sword. You are a newcomer, and the sword has been gathering dust for a long time. Isn't it natural that it will see blood again when it sees the light of day?"
Tang Zhao shook his head and said: "Then you don't need to do it yourself..."
"Besides, he probably has a clear will." Black Widow's words seemed to be muttering to herself, "A demonstration to show his will. He must win this battle. Now he doesn't hesitate to kill himself. Isn't it easy to kill other people who stand in the way?"
? He asked me questions, am I scared?"
Tang Zhao was half convinced - Black Widow encouraged him to chop Xing Ji, but Xing Ji passively accepted the move. If he was going to ask a question, Black Widow should be the first to ask it, right?
If Black Widow’s reason makes sense, Tang Zhao also has a reason here:
Since Xing Ji personally admitted that he was wrong, wouldn't it be natural to pay the price for his mistake?
However, this is ridiculous when you think about it carefully - who is Xingji and what is his style? How could he punish himself for such a trivial matter? Why should he pay such a big price?
Brain twitching is more reasonable.
However, the sun was very warm and the voice of the beauty in white was so gentle. Tang Zhao unknowingly lowered his guard and stopped thinking about it.
At this time, Black Widow asked: "Young man, what is your name and how old are you?"
There is no need to think about this question. Tang Zhao answered directly: "Student Tang Zhao is twelve years old this year."
Black Widow said: "Twelve years old... really young. Even our Five Poisons Association doesn't use such young children. We have to keep and teach them for a few years before they can go into battle. The Inspector is not afraid of it. But Tang Zhao——"
She stopped, turned to Tang Zhao, and said with a kind and serious expression: "You just picked up the sword, you are no longer an ordinary child. How can the person holding the sword panic? Just saw some blood and that's it.
, what should you do if you see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in the future?"
Tang Zhao said softly: "Yes, what should we do?"
He couldn't answer this question for the moment.
Since he was a child, he has dreamed of learning martial arts and swordsmanship, and becoming a swordsman who can fly to the sky and escape from the earth like the people in the story. But he has never dreamed of blood, killing, violence...
Because the sword fairy in the story does not do these things, even if there is a fight, the depiction of the fairy is ethereal and wonderful, as if the sword fairy kills people without bleeding, just like the heroes in the world of rivers and lakes cannot eat, drink, and defecate.
But in fact, every sword wielder faces confrontation, bloodshed, injury and even death from the first day he learns to sword.
He vaguely felt these, and he was vaguely resisting, but was not willing to give up.
Seeing him lowering his head and saying nothing, Black Widow said patiently: "Don't worry too much. Sooner or later, you will pass this level. It will rain, and the sword will kill people. I have never seen anyone who can't pass it. If you want to pass the level more slowly, just
You should slowly realize it yourself. If you want to be more impatient, listen more to the advice of your seniors."
Tang Zhao understood what she meant and said: "Senior, are you also a swordsman? How did you pass the test back then?"
Black Widow smiled lightly: "I'm not a swordsman yet. I will be in the future, but not yet. Maybe we can become swordsmen together. But I have experience in killing people. One day when I am free, I will ask someone to come find you.
Let’s have a good chat.”
Tang Zhao cupped his hands and thanked him.
Unknowingly, the two of them arrived in front of a large black room, which was the bathhouse before. The black widow let go of Tang Zhao and said: "Go in and wash away the blood on your body. When you come out, you will be a clean and good boy again."
Tang Zhao agreed and entered the house.
The bathhouse of the villa seemed to be always equipped with hot water. Tang Zhao soaked in the water again. The smell of blood gradually dissipated in the steam.
His spirit suddenly relaxed. The pool sealed by white mist was like his spiritual home, bringing him incomparable peace of mind and relaxation.
After soaking for a while, he seemed to hear some small sounds outside the door.
It's murmuring, tiny and messy.
A chill ran down the back of his neck, and Tang Zhao suddenly stood up from the pool, froze for a moment, and then sank into the water again.
It seems that I am somewhat used to it.
Outside the courtyard, separated by a wall, it was completely dark.
spider!
Spider swarm, spider sea!
Thousands of spiders poured out from cracks in the ground, corners of walls, eaves, and cracks, crawling one by one, and gathered under the corners of a snow-white skirt.
The black widow is dressed in white, standing alone in a swamp of thousands of furry black spiders, like a narcissus blooming alone in the mud.
Counting the time, Black Widow turned around and left.
In front of her, the spiders automatically moved out of the way, like spreading a carpet in front of her, asking her to move forward.
She walked forward, and all the spiders followed her, like a black torrent, like the tail under her white skirt.
From beginning to end, she did not issue a single order, only the crawling sound of a spider.
There was no one along the way, no creature dared to spy on the spider marching.
It wasn't until they reached a courtyard that a young girl in black came up to her and bowed deeply: "Yuanqing, please greet the owner of the village."
Black Widow nodded slightly, her face expressionless at this time, not angry or intimidating. Once she stopped smiling, her soft facial features immediately became sharp.
"Yuanqing, rush these into the A-shaped furnace to refine them. I want a bottle of Thousand Spider Poison."
Yuan Qing glanced at the army of spiders behind Black Widow. Even though she was used to seeing these eight-legged monsters, her expression changed and she said in a trembling voice: "I'm afraid I can't drive away so many babies."
Black Widow said: "Then let them eat you."
After saying that, she turned around and left, and the spider group separated again to make way for her.
Not long after she left, although the spiders still stayed in the same place, they gradually became commotion. Yuanqing turned pale, took out a pitch-black whistle from his sleeve, and blew it hard——
"Zi——"
The sound was sharp and penetrated the eardrums.
The spiders seemed to have been shocked by strong electricity and were suddenly paralyzed. Taking the opportunity, she took out the sachet from her waist, poured some powder into her hand, and blew it hard, and the light yellow powder covered the spiders like a veil.
.
The black widow left the spider swarm and returned directly to the main hall.
Entering the inner room, Xing Ji was still sitting on the kang. The smell of blood in the room was pungent and the sandalwood could no longer cover it up, but there was no trace of blood on his body.
He even changed into a new public uniform, which was smooth and neat, with no wrinkles at all, let alone damage.
Except that his complexion was slightly worse than before, the serious injury just now seemed like it had never happened.
Black Widow's eyes turned to the long sword at his waist, her envy flashed away, and she sat down nonchalantly, staring at Xing Ji, as if she was looking at some rare species.
Xing Ji smiled and said: "There is no one who tempts me, right?"
Black Widow said: "Your people? What are your people? Has he ever eaten a grain of rice from you? He ate food from my villa, isn't he my person?"
Xing Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "So thorough? I remember that you hate those who are soft-hearted and kind-hearted."
Black Widow said: "That's right - unless he is mine."
Xing Ji smiled and said: "That's right, no one wants to sleep in a den of poisonous snakes all the time. They all want to have a few trustworthy people around them. But I can't give you this child. A sword user I specially found is missing.
He can't. Secondly, he's afraid of being ruined by you."
Black Widow sneered: "Only I, the Five Poisons Association, can waste talents, but the Prosecution Department will not waste talents?"
Xing Ji said: "Yes, but I won't harm it maliciously, at least not here."
He ignored the change in Black Widow's expression and continued, "Tang Zhao has a very high level of inspiration and is a rare swordsman seedling. Unfortunately, he does not look good enough to be a spiritual officer. He needs to start practicing martial arts in the early stage. He is too weak and does not have the qualifications to practice martial arts.
Above the average person. If you wait for your body to be perfected step by step, how much materials will it cost? Can you afford this time? Even if you can afford it, where will the sword come from in the end? I'm afraid that your village will lose money, make you angry and pay for the money."
Black Widow said: "You are too underestimating people. I can't do it here, there are Five Poison Society, and Jingzhe Villa. It's really a good seedling that can be picked out from a million. Where can't you find a sword? Or should you raise it?
Swordsmen all start by cutting themselves down? Then we really can’t afford it. It would be too costly to exchange one life for another.”
Black Widow approached him and whispered almost in his ear: "Can you tell me what you think? It's fun to be injured? Are you really using blood to nourish the sword? Are you crazy?"
Xing Ji remained motionless, narrowing his eyes slightly, as if he was enjoying the hot wind she blew in his ears, and said: "To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter. Since he can pick up that sword, I want to know what the eyes of that sword are."
Here, what do I look like?"
"Oh? What's the result like?"
"It cannot be said that the crime is extremely heinous. I can only say that death is not a pity."
Black Widow said "Oh" in a measured tone and said: "That's fair. Think about the things you did. Seeing as you had expected it, do you think you deserve it?"
Xing Ji said: "Of course you deserve it. You should always be punished if you make a mistake."
Black Widow sneered: "But you cured yourself, shouldn't you die?"
Xing Ji said: "Because we are guilty, we need to be forgiven. If we are not guilty, why should we be forgiven?"
Black Widow smiled and shook her head, saying, "I don't understand how you people think."
Xing Ji said: "You are not a swordsman, you don't understand."
Black Widow's smile dimmed slightly, and Xing Ji said softly: "I have taken many wrong paths over the years, and I am almost at the end of my rope. But I will not die. I still have many things to do. With this
His sword will go down together. So I have to forgive myself first, until one day the sin is unforgivable."
He used his fingers to pluck the black widow's hair. The black widow leaned back and moved out of the way as lightly as a cloud, saying: "Master Xing, my husband has just died. There are many people outside gossiping."
Xing Ji said disapprovingly: "That's just a villain who is jealous of the owner's wealth, beauty, martial arts skills, power, and impeccable quality, so he made up some dirty words to slander you. Does the owner take it to heart? How can they understand that you and I are noble and pure?
comradeship?"
Black Widow smiled and said: "Oh? You are still my confidant? What kind of comradeship do we have? We just fought side by side once on the battlefield." Even so, there was a lot of sincere joy in her smile.
Xing Ji said: "All heroes are capable of going to the battlefield, and Zhuangzhu Yin is even more like a woman. On the contrary, there are some self-proclaimed heroes in the world who would rather steal and rob than perform meritorious deeds and gain wealth from them.
.These people are not even as good as the owner of the village. So when I led the team to Heyang, the first thing I thought of was you. I will give you this opportunity to rise to fame. So many people regard the Demon Cave as fat.
, if you want to take a bite, I have to pull out their teeth. But if the farmer wants to eat, I will give you a big piece."
Black Widow said: "I ate your meat, and the stench can be smelled in the rivers and lakes even if the wind blows for ten miles. Can I still go out in Heyang County in the future?"
Xing Ji said: "Of course you can. Anyway, we will never see those old friends again, so who are we afraid to see?"
Black Widow said: "The prosecutor is so overbearing. Is it really as if he has been shaved off because of his official misconduct? No wonder everyone feels like they are facing a powerful enemy. If a dog is in a hurry and jumps over the wall, don't force it into a big disaster."
Xing Ji smiled and said: "You can ask them to try it. My biggest characteristic..."
Black Widow waited for him to brag and then taunted him, then listened to Xing Ji said: "It means that I have a strong backing. If I suffer a loss, I will ask the patrol to take action. If the patrol fails, I will ask the commander. Finally, I can also ask the prince.
All the generals under my command have arrived. Is Heyang County a foreign land? Sooner or later, it will be sorted out."
Black Widow gradually stopped laughing as she listened. She forced her lips to twitch and said: "You must have such determination... You must have such determination. I could see it on the battlefield back then. You are always going crazy. Gao Yuanhou
It's a stroke of genius that you were assigned to inspect the Discipline Division, you are just the right person to use to bite people."
Xing Ji said: "I was originally trained by the District Inspector, and I just want to go back to my hometown. It's best if you are willing to cooperate with me. By the way, you first help me find a good teacher for Tang Zhao, even if you contribute to training him
.This is a hugely profitable business. If Tang Zhao becomes a talent, he will remember that every good point you make will be rewarded a hundred points."
Black Widow's thoughts turned secretly and she said with a smile: "Don't accept my favor for him, just accept my favor. What a good teacher, I happen to know one. I'm afraid that what he teaches will not be what you want."
