After Waking up Beside the Villain

The main course was finally served on the table, Chu Yunsheng raised his spirits a little bit, and there was a bit of doubt and curiosity in his eyes.

Ji Ling swept his eyes and smiled sweetly: "It turns out that Sister Ye really didn't know about this, but I have a villainous heart to judge the belly of a gentleman. Speaking of it, this puppet secret method is not a secret, but few people know it now , 20 years ago, this puppet secret technique had earned a great reputation in the northern desert martial arts."

During this period of time, Chu Yunsheng has made up a lot of common sense in the world and past events in the martial arts world, but this puppet secret method is definitely not on the list.

Besides, if this method really had such a great reputation, how could the Xie family take so much trouble to investigate this matter as a thousand-year-old family with Youxian in charge?

Chu Yun said: "I have some knowledge about the past of Beimo Wulin, but I have never heard of this kind of exercise."

"I don't need to lie to Sister Ye about this kind of thing."

Ji Ling smiled and said: "It's normal for Sister Ye not to know. This puppet secret technique wasn't originally called by this name, and it appeared for a very short time, just like the meteor that flashed across the sky that day. The person who created this technique Disappeared, this technique has no one to inherit it, so it naturally disappeared in the rivers and lakes."

"The people who can create their own skills are all the amazingly talented and brilliant people in the world, who is this person?" Chu Yunsheng seemed to be really interested by Ji Ling's words, and asked in surprise road.

Ji Ling didn't show off his tricks either. While pouring a sip of wine into his mouth, he said in a low voice with a strange look in his eyes: "This man is indeed a stunning and talented person. Sister Ye has never heard of the art of manipulating puppets, but she should You've heard of Mu Yuexin's nickname of 'Thousand Silk Wrap' in Beimo."

Chu Yunsheng slightly raised his eyebrows.

"Thousands of silk around" Mu Yuexin, he really knows it.

"Twenty or thirty years ago, Beimo was the supreme genius, a master of martial arts, and a casual cultivator, but he reached the peak of Dingdan before the age of 30, ranking third in the list of shocking gods at that time. It can be said that his talent is overwhelming, overwhelming his peers."

Chu Yunsheng rummaged through Mu Yuexin's various information in his mind, and said lightly: "Before Ding Dan, she was a loner, she lived in seclusion in the Snow Mountain of Beimo and practiced hard, and it only took four short years to become famous in the world. Five years later, she disappeared suddenly, and no one knew where she was, whether she was alive or dead."

"It is recorded in the Shocking God List that the exercise she practices is the "Thousand Machines and Nine Changes" created by herself. She named it Nine Changes, but in fact, before she disappeared, this exercise only completed the first six changes. , and the remaining three changes are reserved for traveling in the fairyland."

The wine glass slammed on the table.

Ji Ling lowered his eyebrows, and there was an inexplicable sarcasm in his smile, and said softly: "It's a pity, in the end, she couldn't be like other wandering immortals, with a water cloud body and a misty guest, to be a land fairy who is at ease in the world .”

Chu Yunsheng paused and looked at Ji Ling.

This statement seems to be...

After pondering for a moment, Chu Yunsheng said: "Unless Mu Yuexin died back then, it is not impossible for her to enter the Wonderland with her talent."

Ji Ling tilted his head and raised his brows: "Sister Ye thinks highly of her. It's just that there is no such thing as a smooth life in this world. There are talents in the martial arts generation. No matter how unparalleled geniuses in the world, if they don't grow up, they are just this one after all. It's just a tiny mayfly floating in the vast rivers and lakes."

Raising her hand to fill another glass of wine, she changed her mouth in the next sentence, and instead of mentioning Mu Yuexin, she said: "Sister Ye must know what I'm going to say, yes, the puppet secret method was born out of Mu Yuexin "Thousands of Machines and Nine Changes", and this is why I came to visit the Zheng family."

Chu Yunsheng didn't seem to notice that Ji Ling was changing the subject, so he nodded and continued: ""Thousands of Machines and Nine Changes" did become famous with Mu Yuexin's strong rise back then, and became popular in Beimo, but Mu Yuexin There are no disciples, this method has been lost for a long time, how is it connected with this puppet secret method? And how did you know this, Miss Zhao?"

Ji Ling's eyes showed reminiscence, and he sighed: "This, let's start with my first acquaintance with Brother Yuchen——"

Chu Yunsheng put on an appearance of listening attentively and listened quietly to Ji Ling's narration.

Excluding those small thoughts about love between children and his love for you but not for me, what Ji Ling said is actually very simple, automatically classified in Chu Yunsheng's mind, there are only two things.

One is that Ji Ling and Zheng Yuchen first met in the cold winter of last year, and they traveled together for two months before they separated.

The second is that Ji Ling claimed that she came to Zheng's house only to find Zheng Yuchen to help her find someone, whom she met when she was tracking down a thief in Dongsheng Mountain, Jiangzhou.

Because Tianji Sect also has the remnants of "A Thousand Chances and Nine Changes" like many other sects, and Ji Ling happens to be very interested in it and is very familiar with it, so he found out at a glance that this person's skills are weird. ", but it seems to be similar to the longevity gods of the Western Regions, which can manipulate other people's minds, but it is different from the hallucination control of the longevity gods, and it is more weird, so I suspect that this is a kind of puppet born out of "A Thousand Machines and Nine Changes" Arcana.

Mu Yuexin's "Thousands of Machines and Nine Changes" cultivates the true qi as thin as a silk thread, which can entangle the opponent and interfere with the stellar qi during the fight. If there is a big difference in strength between the two sides, it can also temporarily control the opponent's qi. With body movements, he even infiltrated his own true qi into the meridians in the opponent's body, replacing his true qi.

"There is a copy of Mu Yuexin's martial arts handbook stored in the Tianji Gate, which records some calculations about exercises that she has never put into action and are not known to outsiders."

Ji Lingdao: "In the handbook, Mu Yuexin once said that this method of using true energy, if it can be assisted by some kind of drug that confuses the mind, may have the miraculous effect of turning people into puppets. At that time, I was hiding in the Yizhuang Waiting for the thief to show up, I saw that strange man seemed to be so angry, affecting the other person who came with him."

"I am not as strong as them, so I dare not act rashly, but I have been following them for a while and know that they have come to Jinling."

"So as soon as the matter of Dongsheng Mountain is over, I will follow, and I want to ask Brother Yuchen to help me find this weird person. To control a living person as a puppet is an act of evil spirits and heretics, and everyone can punish him!"

If Chu Yunsheng hadn't known that she was the saintess of the Demon Nine Immortals Palace, hearing this, he would have been in awe of Ji Ling's righteousness.

At the same time, he also noticed a very obvious flaw in this half-truth and half-false discourse.

He shook the somewhat empty flagon, drained the last drop of wine, and said, "Miss Zhao, no one has mentioned Mu Yuexin's handwriting in Jianghu. It should only be your collection of Tianjimen. It can’t be called a lot, since that’s the case, where did this weirdo get the method of changing the secret method of changing thousands of machines into a puppet?”

"According to Miss Zhao's words, this weird person must have practiced countless changes, but this technique has been lost with Mu Yuexin's disappearance. What is the identity of this person who can practice this technique?"

Ji Ling said: "I have thought about these too."

"I guess, this strange person, or the person who taught the strange puppet secret method, should be a place that Mu Yuexin used to be quite close to, so he knew what Qianjijijichang and the manuscript said. The gossip in the world, didn't it spread for a while Was it because Mu Yuexin left Daxue Mountain and changed Wu Rentuya's name to Mu Yuexin because she fell in love with a man and decided to stay with him for the rest of her life?"

"In the years when Mu Yuexin became famous, people in the world only knew that there was such a man, but they didn't know his real identity. After Mu Yuexin disappeared, this man disappeared with him."

Ji Ling's words were deliberate.

You know, Mu Yuexin was only missing back then, and no one can confirm whether she was dead or not. Then the appearance of the puppet secret method is most likely because Mu Yuexin is not dead, and the strange person is Mu Yuexin herself, or Mu Yuexin's Disciples and children.

Everything Ji Ling said was based on the fact that Mu Yuexin did not exist in the world.

How did she know whether Mu Yuexin was dead or alive?

If Chu Yunsheng is really a daughter of a small family who is new to the rivers and lakes, and he completely believes what Ji Ling said before, then he will most likely not have such thoughts, but directly follow the direction guided by Ji Ling's words, and treat those One man has a heart of curiosity and inquiry, thus ignoring others.

After a long time of emptiness and deliberation, at this time, Chu Yunsheng finally got a glimpse of Ji Ling's purpose.

But when this purpose is revealed, it will definitely not be an unintentional mistake.

He remained silent for a while, and did not point out the matter of Mu Yuexin's life or death, but followed what Ji Ling said, "It seems that this weird person is most likely related to this man, and Miss Zhao has no idea about the man's identity? Didn't it mention it in Mu Yuexin's handbook?"

Ji Ling paused when he was playing with the wine cup, his slender fingers coated with cardamom tightened suddenly, and then loosened slightly at a moment that ordinary people could not detect, and gently threw the jade white porcelain onto the stone table as usual.

If there was no white leftover fingertip pinched out on that hand, Chu Yunsheng would have suspected that Ji Ling's gaffe at this moment was due to his own misjudgment.

"mentioned."

Ji Ling raised his eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "But I only mentioned one thing, saying that this man's surname is Li."

Chu Yunsheng's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded with disappointment in his eyes: "There are too many men surnamed Li in the world, and this one clue is too difficult to find. In this case, we can only hope that Patriarch Zheng can help Miss Zhao. Find it before doing evil and harming people."

There was a pause in the speech, Chu Yunsheng glanced at Ji Ling, and added: "If Miss Zhao needs help, you can come to me. Punish evil and promote good. It is my bounden duty to walk in the rivers and lakes."

Ji Ling smiled, and said: "Then I will thank Sister Ye in advance. If Sister Ye is going out recently and meets someone with a blood-red ghost face tattoo on the inside of her arm, be careful and don't act rashly."

After finishing speaking, Ji Ling looked at the hazy moonlight outside the pavilion, and said: "It's getting late, my sister won't bother me, so I'll go back first."

Chu Yunsheng didn't try to figure out the Nine Immortals Palace or the Tianzijian anymore. He smelled some danger, and felt that there was something weird about Ji Ling, so he shouldn't try it casually. After all, his current martial arts are not very strong.If you really want to explore, you still have to discuss it with Xie Chengyun.

Getting up and sending Ji Ling to the gate of the courtyard, Chu Yunsheng fulfilled the intimacy after enjoying the moon, drinking and confiding in his heart.

Of course, as a cold beauty, Ye Wanwan would still be cold no matter how close she was.

It is not impossible for Chu Yunsheng to play a gentle, affectionate or charming woman, but being cold and alienated is an excellent protection for the disguise.

Silent all night.

At noon the next day, when the sun was scorching hot, Chu Yun came out of Zheng's house, and went to the famous auspicious restaurant in the city under the banner of tasting Jinling's delicacies.

Zheng Yuchen got rid of filial piety as a postnatal genius. According to the customs of Daxia, he can't go out to eat, and still has to eat vegetarian at home, so even if he wanted to accompany Chu Yunsheng to come here, he was powerless.

Although Ji Ling said that Zheng Yuchen was interested in him, Chu Yunsheng was not a fool who didn't understand feelings. On the contrary, he knew what it was like to love someone and be loved, so he didn't think that Zheng Yuchen really fell in love with Ye Wanwan, who he played, and fell in love with him at first sight. .Rather than saying that I like it, it is better to say that I am confused by sex.

Or, he was also interested in his purpose of coming to Jinling.

Sitting in the private room of Jixiang Restaurant, Chu Yunsheng was drinking tea while drooping his eyes in thought.

Suddenly, there was a low noise in the private room.

Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes, and saw that Duobaoge standing against the wall slowly slid away to one side, and the originally smooth and clean wall was opened, revealing a secret door.

A man in blue clothes appeared at the door, his complexion was brown, honest and calm, his eyebrows and eyes were only three points similar to Xie Chengyun, if he didn't reveal his true energy and martial arts skills, he was a familiar person, I'm afraid It is also impossible to recognize at a glance that this is the white dragon who is in the limelight and is said to be at the top of the list.

"Miss Miaoling will be an honest guard in private, this is a very good script. Chu Chukeai read some scripts?"

As soon as the honest guard opened his mouth, he exposed his dishonesty nature.

Xie Chengyun recovered the secret door, came over and sat opposite Chu Yunsheng, raised his chopsticks with clean hands, and picked up the vegetables slowly.

No more dressing up intentionally, even if Xie Chengyun has a face that can only be regarded as Zhou Zheng, and is dressed in gray and simple clothes, his gestures and gestures are all elegant and calm, and he is a gentleman.

Chu Yunsheng suspected that what Xie Chengyun said was not serious, so he said righteously: "I rarely read it."

"It seems that Chu Chu is a decent person, not a duplicity like me." Xie Chengyun's voice was like ice, cool and warm, with a smile like a spring.

After a few words of laughter, Xie Chengyun asked: "Is going to Zheng's house going well?"

Chu Yunsheng took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and immediately succinctly stated all the events of the day and his doubts and speculations.

Xie Chengyun looked down at the dishes on the plate and listened quietly, his expression changed unconsciously.

When Chu Yunsheng's words fell, he smiled suddenly, his eyelids lifted, and the thin light seeping from between his eyelashes was as cold as ice and snow under the moon.

"Ji Ling, Mu Yuexin, surnamed Li..."

Xie Chengyun read in a low voice, and the smile on his face deepened: "I thought I would have to wait a long time to hear this, but I didn't expect that their retribution came so quickly... Well, what a Mu Yuexin, What a surname Li!"

He looked at Chu Yunsheng and said in a low voice: "Chuchu, let me tell you, that Mu Yuexin is not dead, and the man surnamed Li is named Li Wu. Mu Yuexin may have become a wandering immortal, and Li Wu He is the current Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, a half-step wandering immortal."

"One day, I will kill them."

Xie Chengyun frowned and smiled very gently.

Chu Yunsheng was startled, Xie Chengyun's reaction and words really exceeded his expectations.

He had already guessed that Xie Chengyun might be carrying a very deep secret, but he never expected that seeing the tip of the iceberg would be so heavy and cold.

He saw Xie Chengyun smiling, but knew that he was drinking hatred.

After a moment of silence, Chu Yunsheng looked at Xie Chengyun, and said calmly: "You can't win, you have to take me with you."

Xie Chengyun was taken aback, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said with a smile: "Don't you accuse me of treason, don't come to ridicule my delusional thoughts, and don't ask me the ins and outs of my hatred?"

"You are killing innocent people indiscriminately."

Chu Yun said.

Xie Chengyun's eyes froze, he was silent for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "This statement is very familiar. I just commented on Ning Tiancheng like this yesterday, but it is far less pleasant than Chuchu's words."

His voice paused, and then he continued: "Mu Yuexin and Li Wu's matter is very involved, and I can't tell you all, if one day, you and I become Dingdan, or Tianzijian appears, we can Tell me everything, and hope that Chu Chu will not annoy me."

The involvement is so extensive that it is impossible to tell.

Chu Yunsheng looked at Xie Chengyun, his heart sank slightly.

Based on his understanding of his lover, Xie Chengyun will not reveal anything about the personal enmity, even if it involves a high-ranking person, in the current situation where they have a certain amount of trust in each other and are still trapped in the situation. reason.

Therefore, this enmity must be related to many people, many people who have a close relationship with Xie Chengyun, for them, he can't afford any extra risk, so he has to be cautious.

At this moment, Chu Yunsheng thought of the Xie family's old house, which was too empty and deserted compared to other aristocratic families.
