he doesn't use a knife

He is in darkness.

It's bleak and dark, it's dark, it's wailing, it's full of despair.

What is this place?

Isn't this just a purgatory on earth?

But there is no escape.

Can be difficult to escape.

If, if you just lower your head like this——

He lunged forward.

Putting his hands against the door, he hissed, "I admit it! I'm willing to join!"

The door suddenly opened.

He fell to the ground and looked up anxiously.

The man was carrying a knife, black clothes, black hair, and a cold expression.

Condescending.

—— "Volume Four: The Shadow of the Sword"

Li Xingchen woke up from a sharp pain.

He opened his eyes suddenly.

Youqin Honghe sat opposite him across a table.

With a smile, the smile is also a bit gentle.

But Li Xingchen couldn't see any kindness behind this gentleness.

He hadn't seen it here.

This is a place he has never been to.

——He almost thought it was far away, but he was sure he hadn't been in a coma for too long.

Because he doesn't feel hungry.

I don't feel thirsty either.

Li Xingchen was sitting in this cave.

Not bad.

This is a cave.

It was very quiet, and there were a few torches on the wall, illuminating the surrounding rocks very brightly.

He looked at Yuqin Honghe.

He couldn't move.

There was no rope to bind him, nor was he pressed into acupuncture points.

But he was sitting here with his hands flat on the table, but he didn't even have the strength to move.

Tired?

Li Xingchen didn't feel tired.

He felt strong, but when he tried to stand up, he lost the strength.

He bowed his head.

On the forearm of his right hand, there was an extremely long knife edge.

The redness from the knife edge made him a little dizzy.

As soon as you remember which part of your body it is, you will start to fear.

Li Xingchen could not indulge his fear any longer.

He closed his eyes, looked up at Youqin Honghe, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Youqin Hong reconciled, "It's not that I want to do something, it's that there is another person who wants to do something."

After saying this, Youqin Honghe stood up.

Li Xingchen followed his movements and looked.

In the shadows under the fire, someone melted into the darkness, making it hard to see.

However, when the figure got closer, the fire seemed to burn on him again.

The man's scabbard was bright.

The man's eyes were extremely deep.

Xue Lanling sat down.

The knife was placed on the table by him, making a muffled sound.

Then he smiled slightly.

Black clothes, dark hair, high ponytail, scabbard shining in the firelight, hands as pale as frost and snow.

This is not the first time Li Xingchen has seen him.

It was the first time that he felt so cold.

The clothes that could almost blend in with the darkness set off that beautiful and incomparably beautiful face.

It's like flowers growing in the mud.

Xue Lanling was also looking at him.

But Xue Lanling didn't seem to be looking at him.

Then he heard Xue Lanling say: "Let's get to know each other again, my name is Xue Lanling, the suzerain of Feihua Sect."

Li Xingchen's eyeballs trembled slightly.

He said, "I know."

Xue Lanling said, "You don't know."

Li Xingchen said: "Flying Flower Sect has been destroyed, you cannot be regarded as the suzerain of Feihua Sect."

Xue Lanling said: "This is something you don't know."

"Even if the Feihua Sect is destroyed, as long as I live, the Feihua Sect will not disappear. As long as I live, it will be in the Jianghu for a day. I live and the Feihua Sect will live. When I die, the Feihua Sect will still be alive."

Li Xingchen asked him: "What do you want to do?"

Xue Lan ordered to take out the map drawn by Ming Yu Pendant.

He brushed off the paper and said, "You are the young owner of Baiyang Villa. If Li Mingda has any secrets, it must be you who should know the most. You are Ming Yuzhuo's son, and your parents are a Grasshopper on the rope, he will never hide it from you. Because to him, the Baiyang Villa has been built for several years, and it is not something that can be cheap for outsiders."

Xue Lanling's voice was soft and gentle, as if whispering in a whisper: "I want to know, besides Baiyang Villa, is there any other place in Li Mingda that has told you an extremely important secret?"

Li Xingchen said: "Why do you think I will tell you?"

Xue Lanling said: "You will always tell me."

Li Xingchen said: "Aren't you afraid that Duan Yishuang will know what you have done?"

He asked this question.

Voice will stop.

Xue Lan ordered the knife on the table to be unsheathed.

It wasn't until this moment that Li Xingchen discovered where the knife edge on his arm came from.

——It was the cut cut by this knife.

His blood was still on the knife.

Xue Lanling gently held the knife like this, and pressed the blade to his face.

The cold blade slowly slid down his face.

There was blood on both sides.

So the blood came back to his face.

Li Xingchen was terrified for a moment.

Xue Lanling held the saber, but no longer put the saber back into its sheath.

His deep eyes gradually became misty, like a layer of fog that could not fade away.

Xue Lanling whispered, "Don't mention this name in front of me."

Li Xingchen's heart was beating like a drum.

If he had the strength to stand up, he would certainly resist.

But at a time like this, he couldn't even move his wrist, and he would become flustered no matter how confident he was.

Li Xingchen said: "I won't tell you."

Xue Lanling said, "You will definitely tell me."

Li Xingchen said: "I am the young owner of Baiyang Villa. What you want to know is the secret of my Baiyang Villa. Since you say you are the suzerain of Feihua Sect, then you are the leader of the Demon Cult. I, Baiyang As one of the Eight Great Martial Arts sects, Shanzhuang absolutely cannot have anything to do with demons."

He didn't speak euphemistically.

Xue Lanling didn't get angry because of this.

Xue Lanling just said: "It's absolutely impossible, isn't Li Mingda still involved with Ming Yu Pendant?"

Li Xingchen asked: "Do you know anything?"

Xue Lanling said: "I know very well, but I don't know if you want to know."

Li Xingchen said: "What exactly do you know?"

Xue Lanling said: "If you want to know the secrets of the past, you need to exchange your own secrets. Isn't this the truth that everyone should know?"

Li Xingchen said: "Then I don't need to know these secrets."

Xue Lanling looked at him helplessly and regretfully.

for a while.

Xue Lanling sighed: "Then I have no choice but to ask the Master of the Qin Valley to ask you."

It was too quiet in the cave.

It was so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.

But when Qin Honghe sat in front of him, Li Xingchen could only hear his own breathing.

He didn't lose his composure when he first woke up.

But this kind of silence and quietness is indeed becoming more and more impetuous and unbearable.

He could hear his own breathing.

Already a little hasty.

It seemed that only his own heartbeat echoed in the cave.

Youqin Honghe smiled and looked at him for a long time.

You Qin Hong said softly, "I put a Gu on you very early on."

But it is a very direct and touching words.

Li Xingchen's complexion suddenly changed.

The most mysterious thing in the world is poison and Gu.

External injuries can be healed, but internal injuries are difficult to heal, and these two types of poisonous Gu are means to make people escape from death or even worse than life and death.

But he didn't know when he was bewitched.

Youqin Honghe was admiring his expression.

Usually, he would always call him a miracle doctor, but Youqin Honghe seldom felt that he was a doctor.

Youqin Hong said: "Don't worry, the only effect of this Gu is that it will make people weak and unable to move under the effect of the aromatherapy I developed."

Just like how Li Xingchen felt now.

Youqin Honghe said again: "But this next Gu is not simple. It will become a deadly poisonous Gu when paired with another Gu in your body, and the two Gu will swim in your blood Move and fight until one side devours the other, this process of fighting can be regarded as torture for your flesh and blood, if your consciousness is strong enough to survive when two Gu insects are fighting, that is your misfortune."

"Because the winning Gu worm will gnaw on your body as nourishment to replenish itself, and it will stop torturing you until it no longer feels hungry. But I still don't know when it will stop being hungry. , if you are willing, then you are the first person to develop poisonous Gu for me. For the sake of your selfless dedication, I can also make your death look better."

Li Xingchen lowered his head and remained silent for a while.

When he looked up, there was determination in his eyes.

Li Xingchen said: "Even if you die, I won't give you any chance."

You Qin Honghe said in amazement: "Why is the young master so stubborn? Don't you know that once we know the secret of Baiyang Villa, we will be able to expose your father and even the whole Baiyang Villa?" A side that people despise?"

Li Xingchen said: "You are talking nonsense, you are spitting blood."

You Qin Hong said: "I don't know any nonsense, and I never spout blood. I'm really curious, is it a shameful thing for the young master to keep a secret that he would rather die than to keep? Sit upright, then what secret is there that the Master Shao will keep to death?"

Li Xingchen said: "Every sect has its own secrets, if everyone is willing to tell their secrets, there will be no secrets in the world."

Youqin Hong said: "Yes, let's start with the young master. You tell the secret of Baiyang Villa, and I will tell you a secret. If you exchange secrets like this, everyone will have no secrets."

Li Xingchen said: "I won't say it."

Youqin Hong said peacefully, "You will tell."

Li Xingchen sneered, and he said, "Why are you two so sure that I will say it?"

You Qin Hong said: "Because no matter how tough a person is, they will be honest when facing my poisonous Gu."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Xingchen's wrist.

That knife edge is hideous and terrifying.

Youqin Honghe seemed to appreciate this terrifying scene, with a smile on his face, he took out a Gu worm from the round box he took out.

That Gu worm was always sleepy in the past, unwilling to move.

But it seems to smell something different today.

It flapped its wings, as if eagerly trying to follow the scent.

The closer it got to the knife edge, the more excited it became.

Just when it was about to fall, Li Xingchen closed his eyes and turned his head away.

He didn't even open his mouth.

Youqin Honghe sighed and said, "It's so hard-talked, it's really boring."

He let go of Li Xingchen's wrist, and put the Gu worm back into the box.

Then he picked up the box and made room for Xue Lanling.

Li Xingchen opened his eyes in a daze.

Xue Lanling's complexion was very pale, and his expression was extremely cold.

The bloody dagger still hadn't been sheathed.

He stabbed down, right next to Li Xingchen's wrist, and stabbed into the stone table.

Li Xingchen trembled all over.

Xue Lanling said: "You are very different from your father."

Li Xingchen said: "I won't tell you."

Xue Lanling sneered.

He said: "If you want to live in Li Mingda's lies forever, then you really don't need to tell me."

The knife was pulled out close to his wrist, and the cold blade almost scalded Li Xingchen's wrist.

He suppressed the exclamation he wanted to blurt out.

Li Xingchen said: "Do you know what this place is for?"

Xue Lanling said: "You shouldn't ask me, but you should ask yourself, do you know what is going on behind the scenes of Baiyang Villa?"

Li Xingchen lowered his head.

He looked at the map on the table and was silent for a long time.

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "I can tell you, and I won't tell my father about it, but you have to let Duan Yishuang go with me."

Xue Lanling looked at him with lowered eyes.

Condescending, with a very calm expression.

Just when he thought Xue Lanling would make a choice, Xue Lanling suddenly moved.

Xue Lanling pressed his head with one hand, causing him to press down hard on the table.

His head hit the stone table, hitting Li Xingchen's eyes black.

That seemingly thin hand has such amazing strength.

Li Xingchen couldn't raise his head, only felt that he was gradually being suffocated by being so tightly suppressed, and sobbed uncontrollably from his throat.

Xue Lanling didn't watch how he was struggling.

Nothing was reflected in those deep eyes.

Xue Lanling said softly: "I hate people negotiating terms with me the most. You are not qualified to make this kind of deal with me."

"Say, or don't say, die, or don't die."

The author says:

Li Xingchen: Duan Yishuang and my family's information, you choose one.

Leader: I want them all.

Li Xingchen:? ? ? ?

The owner of the valley was greatly shocked at the side: You say you can’t tell the truth, it’s okay if you don’t say it, what are you talking about Duan Yishuang, what are you talking about messing with him?

Xiao Yi: I didn't know that the leader and the owner of the valley went out to beat up Li Xingchen.

Li Xingchen: I think I have been hurt a lot.

Gu Zhu: It’s okay, you will suffer more harm in the future, such as your father’s death.

Li Xingchen: ...
