Li Danqing, who was holding Xue Yun's body and walking quickly on the streets of Dafeng City, glanced at Liu Yanzhen, who looked like he was asking for credit, and rolled his eyes.
"I asked you to find firecrackers, but I didn't ask you to get so many. I made such a big noise and probably injured a lot of people. I guess when we return to Gale City, we won't be surrounded by these people.
?”
Liu Yanzhen stuck out his tongue and said in surprise: "Are we coming back?"
"Where are you going if you don't come back?" Li Danqing asked.
Liu Yanzhen blinked at that time, his eyes swept back and forth between Li Danqing and Xue Yun, and he said: "Logically speaking, you, a down-and-out prince, risked his life to save a talented and beautiful young man. It shouldn't be a friend in need, and then
Would you like to take this opportunity to retreat to the mountains and forests, break through the shackles of the world, and live a gay life without shame?"
"Cough, cough, cough." Liu Yanzhen said this. Before Li Danqing could say anything, Xue Yun beside him coughed violently.
"Senior Brother Xue, please don't get excited! We have to escape first before we can talk about these things..." Liu Yanzhen comforted him nonchalantly.
"If you don't want him to be angry to death, I suggest you just stop talking." Li Danqing said angrily.
"Oh." Liu Yanzhen responded a little aggrievedly, then stopped talking.
…
The three of them galloped all the way and finally arrived in front of the small courtyard that Yu Jin mentioned.
In order to prevent being discovered, Li Danqing specially led the two of them in through the back door, and then followed the information given by Yu Jin to find a path leading to the outside of the city in the woodshed in the backyard.
This tunnel was prepared by Yu Jin to escape from the vicious people she mentioned in the future. The tunnel was very narrow. Even Liu Yanzhen, the most petite of the three, had to bend his body to pass. Li Danqing might also be doing this.
While supporting Xue Yun in the narrow passage, I could only carry him while crawling in the tunnel in a posture that was almost lying on the ground.
Although this process was not a pleasant one, the three of them were obviously much more relaxed. After all, reaching this point meant that the most difficult part of their plan had been completed. The next thing they had to do was to wait until dawn until Qingzhu called Hei.
Yuncheng's reinforcements.
Li Danqing even thought about the strange scene in which Wang Xiaoxiao's huge body was unable to move even an inch in this small hole in a bad mood.
"By the way, Senior Brother Xue, do you know why that guy named Yu Wenguan is so important?"
"I think that guy is just a loser. If Yong'an Martial Arts School is really colluding with some evil spirit, there is no need to be afraid of such a guy, right?"
Probably because the process of walking through this cave was too boring, and Liu Yanzhen was famous for being intolerant of loneliness, so he opened up the conversation and asked.
"Is it possible that Tong Yue actually likes Yu Wenguan, and the son-in-law and so on are all just to hide his identity from others."
"Thinking about it this way, their relationship seems to be more exciting than the story between the senior brother and the dean."
The light in the cave was dim, so Li Danqing couldn't see what Liu Yanzhen's expression was like when he was walking at the end of the team, but he could probably imagine that this girl with unique hobbies should have bright eyes at this moment, and there might be tears flowing from the corners of her mouth.
In fact, Li Danqing is also very curious about the series of murders in Yong'an Martial Arts School and Dafeng City, but Yu Jin's attitude before has shown that there is something hidden behind this.
The matter may have exceeded Li Danqing's estimation. And it seems that Xue Yun came to Dafeng Yuan because of this matter. Xue Yun knew that the inside story was true, but whether the other party was willing to tell it was another matter. After all, it was so involved.
Everyone has their own concerns about big things.
Li Danqing was not willing to force it, so he never asked about this matter along the way.
As he expected, Xue Yun did respond to Liu Yanzhen with silence.
Liu Yanzhen seemed to realize his gaffe, so he stopped talking and continued to follow Li Danqing.
In this way, the three of them walked a distance of about ten feet in silence. Xue Yun, who was lying on Li Danqing's back, suddenly uttered two words.
"Yin vessel."
"Yuwen Guan is the Yin vessel."
Li Danqing paused in his crawling steps and asked, "What is the Yin dish?"
"They come from a demon sect called the Palace of Eternal Life. The followers of the sect aim at pursuing eternal life and worship a god they call Tai Sui."
"There is an evil alchemy method in the sect, which uses the flesh and blood of strangers as a guide. As long as the evil method is planted and people take a specific elixir, the flesh, flesh and vitality of strangers will gradually be swallowed up.
When the living person turns into withered bones, the elixir is mature."
"And this elixir is called the Immortality Pill by them."
"The Immortality Pill can increase a person's cultivation level in a short period of time and can also extend a person's lifespan, but it also carries a terrible toxicity. Once the human body cannot suppress this toxicity, people will become crazy. Especially...
People who have never been exposed to the elixir of longevity are likely to lose their mind and fall into madness in a short period of time once they take too much elixir at one time."
After saying this, Xue Yun was silent for a while, and then said: "The Palace of Eternal Life has been looking for a way to solve this toxicity, so that they can obtain true immortality."
"Then there is the underworld..."
"The Palace of Eternal Life has an extremely intricate relationship in Youyun territory. It is even said that his minions have eroded the Youyun royal family. And over the course of hundreds of years, they discovered that the descendants of believers who have taken the Immortality Pill will produce some kind of energy in their bodies.
To combat the poison of immortality, they can extract this kind of thing from the blood of these people. They call it holy blood..."
"But this substance in the holy blood is extremely thin, and can only alleviate the toxicity of the Immortality Pill, but cannot completely control it. So they thought of a way to continuously use the descendants of these believers to multiply, and then select the right ones among them.
Those with the best resistance to erysipelas will continue to multiply to extract more refined holy blood. Tong Yue’s girls, Tong Yan and Yuwen Guan, are the new generation of Yin dishes.”
"This method is extremely cruel. The two yin vessels will take a huge amount of immortality pills in a short period of time, perform secret techniques, and then make peace. The man will die suddenly after that, while the woman will give birth to a new saint.
The queen also died completely."
"Of course, they are considered the luckiest group of Yin Dishes, and they can at least live a normal life. And there are more Yin Dishes, which are placed in the Yin Palace in various parts of the Palace of Eternal Life. I have been fortunate enough to see them.
Passing through a palace of the underworld where the underworld is cultivated, the men and women there are kept in captivity like cattle and sheep. They are ignorant and naked. In addition to making peace, they fight with each other, just like raising poison."
Speaking of this, Li Danqing could clearly feel Xue Yun's body trembling slightly.
He seemed to have guessed something, but he was not sure: "How do you know this?"
This is indeed a very strange thing.
Wei had a lot of hidden stakes in the Wuyang Dynasty, but Li Danqing had never heard anyone mention a word about the Palace of Eternal Life.
At this time, Xue Yun's voice suddenly became extremely low, and he whispered: "Because once, my father thought about dedicating me to the Palace of Eternal Life as a Yin vessel in exchange for more immortality pills for himself."
Such an answer made both Li Danqing and Liu Yanzhen fall into silence at the same time. Obviously being betrayed by one's biological father would not be a pleasant experience for anyone, no matter how calmly Xue Yun spoke.
"You sent someone to investigate me, right?" At this moment, Xue Yun asked again.
Li Danqing nodded dully.
He realized the seriousness of the matter.
It was something that was hundreds of times more serious than what he had previously predicted.
Xue Yun said that the selected Yin dishes were either cultivated in the terrible Yin Temple or selected from among the believers, which means that Yuwen Guan can be selected. His father, the high-ranking Shenhe
Deacon Si is already a member of the Eternal Life Palace. If this is just the tip of the iceberg, does it mean that the entire Wuyang Dynasty has actually been infiltrated by this evil Zong'an?
Li Danqing was so excited that he didn't dare to think about it further.
"You can't find it." Xue Yun said dullly.
"I was able to come out alive because my father's mind was devoured by the Immortality Pill and he went on a killing spree one night, killing all his people. My mother hid me in a swill bucket and escaped."
"I was cold and scared that night. I just remembered my mother's instructions not to let me come out, and gritted my teeth until I passed out. When I woke up from the coma, everyone was dead."
"I didn't dare to stay there, so I hid in the mountains and forests. When I was hungry, I stole bird eggs and ate wild vegetables. When I was thirsty, I drank from mountain springs. I stayed there until more than a month later. When I returned home, the place was burned down by a fire.
Although, no one knew that there was a massacre there, they just thought it was a fire that burned everyone to death. And six months later, no one even remembers these things. Everything about my father and our clan is like
It’s as if it has been erased by someone and no longer exists.”
"I am a person who never existed, so do you understand why you can't find anything?"
Xue Yun's words better supported Li Danqing's previous conjecture. His mind sank, but Liu Yanzhen suddenly looked forward and said, "Look! There is a fire ahead. Are Ning Xiu and the others waiting for us?"
These words made the somewhat dull atmosphere suddenly lively. Li Danqing looked up and saw that the passage had become wider, and there were indeed firelights and figures moving in front of him.
He felt happy, stood up, and walked quickly towards that place with Xue Yun on his back.
"Ning Xiu! Xiaoxiao!" Liu Yanzhen could clearly see the people standing at the entrance of the cave from a distance. She waved happily to them. At that time, everyone turned back to look at her, but there was no joy as imagined on their faces.
His face was pale, but his expression was stiff.
Li Danqing, who was following him, realized something was wrong and grabbed Liu Yanzhen's body.
Liu Yanzhen looked at Li Danqing with some confusion, but at this moment, a figure in black robe suddenly walked out from behind everyone, looked at Li Danqing from a distance, and spoke in a low voice.
"I've heard about Prince Li's name for a long time..."
"When I saw you today, I realized that the world is stupid..."
"Your Majesty's character is no weaker than General Li's."
