leave the wind on the grass

Qiu Xiaofeng's ten fingers are all wrapped with gauze. This yard is at the foot of the mountain, in the shade, and the cold wind often whizzes like ghosts crying and wolves howling, and few people come here on weekdays.

The people in this yard were very reticent, if Qiu Xiaofeng didn't ask, they definitely wouldn't reveal a word.A doctor came to bandage Qiu Xiaofeng's wound every day.This doctor is a middle-aged lady. Although her hair is dressed up like a girl's, it can't hide a few strands of white hair.

Her wrinkles are not too deep, they are only visible when she smiles.

She always finished medicine for Qiu Xiaofeng silently, and then left silently.

Say nothing.

After a few days, Qi Wuyuan came here to see him in person.

"Later, the old man investigated Lu's residence, do you know why the book died in your room?"

Qiu Xiaofeng knew that he was framed by Lu's mansion, so he couldn't help thinking about it, so he said tentatively, "I learned from Lu's servants that the scholar's surname was Liang, he was the son of an old friend of Lu's mansion, and he got help from the mansion. A few days ago, I had a big fight with Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu almost kicked him out of the house."

"Because of that quarrel, the window paper between the scholar and Lu's residence was completely torn, but Mr. Lu couldn't drive him out, so he had to find another way." Qi Wuyuan said.

"Can't be driven out, why?"

"The scholar held the handle of the Lu family. The Lu family colluded with pirates to sell weapons, food and grass. It is not a matter of one day. If it is reported and exposed, it will be a crime of decapitation. The scholar and the young lady fell in love with each other and married each other with their fingertips. Master Lu wanted to marry his daughter to Chaozhong Taiwei Xue Liangyang, so naturally he could not agree to the marriage."

"No wonder I didn't see that young lady show up."

"If the scholar dared to leave the mansion, it would be a shock to let him reveal the secret. The Lu mansion is not sure about my details, so I don't know if I will punish him. But the scholar must die, so he thought of murdering him in the mansion."

Qiu Xiaofeng lowered his eyes, "If the scholar is killed in Lu's mansion, the Lu family will not be able to argue with it. If he pulls me into the water, he will be able to get rid of it. It turns out that I have been tricked from the first time I met Master Lu." .”

"Master Lu is well-known in Yanying City as a protector. If you don't know about the crimes, it means that you are a foreigner here and have no power and power, which is good for disappearing and destroying. You are open to money, which means you are short-sighted. You are not a righteous person. You are disabled and know martial arts, which shows that you are a person in the Jianghu, but you are not in the mainstream. The people firmly believe that people in the Jianghu take lives casually, so even if you say that you kill people With evidence."

"So Master Lu tried every means to lure me into the mansion so that I could relax my vigilance. At the banquet, I deliberately created friction with the scholar in order to give me enough motivation to kill. The scholar's face turned pale when he left. I said, 'A scholar who is useless is a scholar'."

"It's just that your words are not enough to pose a threat. If you want to kill people because of this, it would be too impulsive."

"Is there anything else to say?"

"Master Lu told me that the scholar was arguing with you in private and asked you to apologize, but the servant girl heard the sound of teacups being broken in the room, and it seemed that you had an argument. Besides, you were hungover and didn't wake up until early in the morning. We have every reason to suspect You took advantage of the alcohol to kill someone by mistake."

"If I killed someone by accident, how could I hide him in the cabinet, go to bed and sleep again, and wait for someone to catch him?"

"Did you forget? You are drunk, maybe your mind is not clear."

"The explanation of this homicide case is not satisfactory. If we can barely make do with it, we will follow the meaning of the city lord."

"So the Lu Mansion secretly gave the old man some benefits, but the old man hasn't returned yet."

"What does City Lord Qi mean?"

"Of course it's in the bag. The old man told the Lu family that you will definitely die."

"Since I'm already a dead person, what's Master Qi's plan?"

Speaking of this, Qi Wuyuan smiled, squinted his eyes and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, took two steps forward, and said, "Little brother, why don't you tell me about your grievances with the Demon Cult?"

Qiu Xiaofeng also wanted to take advantage of Qi Wuren's wind to go out and have a look. If he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to fly again in the future.

Qiu Xiaofeng smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and the scars on his arms lined up into two characters, in neat regular script, Qiu Xiaofeng asked, "You don't know, what's the name of the leader of the Demon Cult?"

"Yu Huanli, following his master Yu Xuanji's surname."

"I have a Gu worm that the devil taught me, I wonder if you have a way to untie it?"

###

The doctor came to see it later, and said that the Gu worm was the Caixing that was rumored to be able to control people's hearts and control life and death.Once the Gu worms are set, they cannot be removed. After that, this person will be used by the Demon Sect for life. As long as someone is present to drive the Gu worms, the words and actions of the bewitched person can be controlled by others.

But it is not possible to send messages across thousands of miles.It must be within the hearing range of the sound, and if the subject is determined, it will be difficult to control. At most, it can drive the Gu worms to bite the meridians, causing pain.

"Is there any way to heal?" Qiu Xiaofeng asked.

"Yes, use burning red sandalwood to force out the worm, tie it to the arm, then cut open the meridians with a blade, and take it out."

The doctor added, "If you are not careful, the meridians may be damaged."

Then there is no way, is it possible to let this bug live in the body for a lifetime?From time to time, he would take a bite of flesh and blood, and every time he heard the sound of the flute, would he either run away or bear the pain?

The scope of the firmness of will that the doctor said is not easy to determine. Although he has never felt controlled by others, it does not mean that he cannot be controlled.

He had a feeling that Dongli had asked him to do something outrageous, but he couldn't remember it.

"I'll trouble the doctor." Qiu Xiaofeng cupped his fists.

Qi Wuyuan nodded to the woman, and walked out with a flick of his sleeves. The footsteps sounded original, but the servant closed the door again, and the room became dark.

"Young man, let's arrange for someone to get rid of Gu poison for the young hero as soon as possible."

After the doctor finished speaking, he wrote a few more prescriptions and handed them to the girl who was serving, asking her to prepare the medicine and bring it over.The doctor was half done with the matter, so he stepped back respectfully.

After a few more days, the doctor came and said that the treatment could begin.

She lit a small strip of sandalwood with a torch and burned it. The smoke curled up with the light of the fire, and the room became psychedelic with the aroma.She took the wood and shone it in front of Qiu Xiaofeng. Qiu Xiaofeng felt a rush of heat rushing towards his face, and the heart-warming pain radiated from the depths of his bones.

"Young man, if I lure it out, you will naturally be in pain. You have to tell me where the pain is, so that I can judge where it is."

Qiu Xiaofeng suddenly looked at the doctor with a cold expression. She always followed the medical books and never cared about other people's feelings.

Qiu Xiaofeng gritted his teeth, pointed to his heart, and said, "This is the only place that hurts the most."

The doctor took the burning sandalwood and shone on Qiu Xiaofeng for a while, then said, "That means Gu worms have taken care of it."

"Can you get out?"

"Of course not."

"How is that good?"

The doctor suddenly smiled, walked over and inserted the sandalwood sticks on the incense ash tripod, and said slowly, "The only thing is to dig out the heart."

How can spinach live without heart?

Qiu Xiaofeng held back and covered his heart, stood up, and asked, "Are you joking?"

The doctor turned his head and said, "The young man has no heart, how can he feel distressed?"

Qiu Xiaofeng covered his heart and thought for a while, only felt that the pain seemed to be relieved a lot, so that he couldn't tell where it was hurting, and he didn't understand what the doctor meant. After a while, the pain intensified again Yes, this time it's not a heartache, but a shoulder pain.

Seeing that he moved his hand to the shoulder blade, the doctor grabbed Qiu Xiaofeng's wrist with one hand and pulled it, and put his two fingers together on the shoulder. , with a silver thread tied around his arm.Soon the whole arm turned red and gray.

The doctor pointed and said, "This thing is right here, it's fixed now, it can't run away."

Qiu Xiaofeng only felt more and more pain in his arm, as if a needle was provoking in the flesh and blood, he vaguely saw a protruding point under the skin, wriggling along the silver thread.

Qiu Xiaofeng was so disgusted that he quickly covered his mouth.

The doctor slowly took out a thin blade, roasted it on the fire, sprinkled it with wine, and gesticulated on Qiu Xiaofeng's hand.

Qiu Xiaofeng quickly turned his face away.

After a while, the pain came from his arm, Qiu Xiaofeng couldn't help but turned his head to look at it, but when he looked at it, he felt that the water was really sour.

He doesn't eat meat anymore.

Qiu Xiaofeng issued a declaration of quitting meat in his heart, and the doctor took the razor and poked in the flesh, and soon the blood flowed down the arm to the palm, and flowed down the little finger, drop by drop. very cold.

Is his blood cold?

A ridiculous idea couldn't help popping up in his mind.Later, I felt that the weather was so cold, how could the few drops of blood that flowed out be hot?Even if it is hot, it has to be cooled by the wind.

Qiu Xiaofeng didn't care anymore, and looked out of the window.

That arm made people feel overwhelmed, he raised it as if it wasn't his own hand, and looked outside.It's just that the dull pain came from the wound one after another, disturbing his thoughts.

After a long time, the doctor finally finished his work, stitched up the wound, and untied the silver thread wrapped around Qiu Xiaofeng's arm.

As soon as the silver thread was untied, Qiu Xiaofeng felt severe pain sweeping like a wave.He pressed his teeth and his breathing was disrupted.The doctor showed him the Gu worm, and said, "The young hero has excellent martial arts, it can repair the body, please practice more frequently. This is the Gu worm."

Qiu Xiaofeng only saw it once, and was taken away by the doctor and crushed.

The worm was transparent, emitting a pale fluorescent green in the dark room, not too disgusting.

It's just that his hand couldn't recover for a while, the blood quickly dyed the gauze red, Qiu Xiaofeng lowered his head, and touched his heart again.

It feels like something is missing there.

He didn't understand.

The room was pushed open, Qi Wuyuan came in from the door, looked at the blood that had not been disposed of all over the floor, looked at Qiu Xiaofeng a few times, asked the doctor who was still packing up, and said, "Li Niang, how?"

"My lord, this little one has already taken out this Gu worm."

"And his arm?"

"Simply did not hurt the meridians, a few more days of cultivation will be fine."

Qiu Xiaofeng also let go of his heart, covered his lips and coughed a few more times.

"How about the poison on his body?"

"I'm afraid I can't solve it completely. The demon cult's systematic masters all have poisoned weapons. I'm guessing that it's the person who poisoned them."

"Who?"

"The poison doctor who disappeared ten years ago—Shi Yi."

Qiu Xiaofeng's legs can no longer walk freely, and he is limping when he walks. If he really fights with others, he will suffer a big loss. Moreover, the arrow in his chest doesn't seem to be completely detoxified, and it will hurt from time to time. Feel dizzy.

"What else can you do?"

"I can barely get rid of the poison. To be really clear, unless a person comes back to life."

"King Yuyang—"

Qiu Xiaofeng had never heard of this person before, so he couldn't help being curious, so he asked.Qi Wu complained that he didn't know, and didn't make any fuss, he thought that when King Yuyang died, Qiu Xiaofeng was only a few years old, an age that didn't know anything.

"This King Yuyang is so powerful that he was born to the empress dowager the same as today's sage. Framed by poison, King Yuyang died of illness in the palace."

"Will he be able to detoxify me?"

"His martial arts run counter to the devil's sect. Yin and yang can be said to be mutually reinforcing. Your poisonous yin and evil are extremely poisonous. Only his martial arts can save you."

"You Yuanjian doesn't work either?"

Hearing him mentioning You Yuanjian, Qi Wuyuan turned his head, his deep eyes revealed the vicissitudes of the world, and asked, "How do you know Taifu You?"

Qiu Xiaofeng knew that he had slipped up, and he hesitated and tried to cover it up, so he said, "I just heard people from the Jianghu talk about him, saying that he lives in seclusion in Tuxia."

"If Grand Tutor You is here, I'm afraid I can't cure this poison."

Qiu Xiaofeng was silent.

I don't know if his brother's master is dead or not.

Since the Demon Cult can drive him crazy, it can also kill people.

Qiu Xiaofeng thought about it in a mess, and felt pain again.

"Now the emperor is not giving up, and even his own son is on guard. Now the power in the Jianghu is in turmoil. If the court does not take action, the Jianghu will be left to die. Although the court has thousands of troops, there are many capable people in the Jianghu. Scholars, it is common for people to sneak into the court to become officials, and the emperor did not do well in his position, so he wanted to win over the power of the rivers and lakes in order to stabilize the country."

Qi Wuyuan stopped and said, "If you want to fight against the Demon Cult, the only way you can go is to become the leader of the martial arts alliance."

Qiu Xiaofeng was shocked when he heard the words of the leader of the martial arts alliance, as if his blood was boiling, the unspeakable suffering, the declining ambition of Lingyun seemed to be poured with oil, and it burned completely, burning his soul floating in the air.

Martial arts leader?

Give orders?

Under the whole world, who dare not obey?

Even the Devil's Cult doesn't need to hide their fears, and they no longer need to hide their heads and show their tails.

This temptation is too great for him to stop his reverie.
