late snow

The wet and cold lake water soaked through the clothes, as if to invade the bone marrow.

Ji Huai heard his dry voice: "Why?"

"You were poisoned by a strange poison when you were just born. King Pingyang exhausted all kinds of methods but failed to get rid of the poison for you. King Pingyang took you to the Valley of Immortal Medicine. The best way is to find someone who is the same year, the same month and the same day as you. The newborn will be exchanged for blood."

Quan Ning's voice seemed to be poisoned, and every single word went into Ji Huai's heart, "The real Ji Qi happened to be the same year, the same month, and the same day as you, and the King of Pingyang used some means to make him ill for a long time, under the pretext of helping him heal... Bing took him to the Valley of Immortal Medicine, exchanged the blood of the two of you, and put the strange poison on him."

Ji Huai's ears were buzzing, and the conversation between him and Zhan Hua echoed over and over again.

'This pill is used to suppress the poison in my body, I have to take one every ten days...'

"My surname is Ye and my name is Zhanhua. I'm about the same age as you. I'm twenty-one. My birthday is the third day of the twelfth lunar month..."

Ji Huai felt cold all over, "Then where did he go?"

"It was supposed to be disposed of, but there was an accident on the way back, and the child was thrown from the carriage." Quan Ning said in a low voice: "It stands to reason that he has a strange poison and is icy and snowy, so he should If he couldn’t survive, who would have thought that his fate was tough, but luckily, he was picked up by the head of Hell Sea and adopted as his adopted son..."

'I grew up in Stonehead City when I was young. '

'I have no home. '

Ji Huai felt that this was too much of a coincidence, but it was true, so he couldn't help but believe it.

"The hell sea news network is all over the Zhao country," Quan Ning sneered: "Since he can find you and say that you are the only medicine primer that can detoxify, do you really think he knows nothing about his life experience?"

"Ji Huai, he knew it from the beginning."

Ji Huai felt like falling into an ice cellar.

His biological father killed Zhan Hua's grandfather and father, and he occupied Zhan Hua's identity for more than [-] years. Everything he enjoyed should belong to Zhan Hua. He even took Zhan Hua's blood and left it to him. She was poisoned all over her body and had to take medicine every day. She was suffering unspeakably, and now she was dying...

Zhan Hua knew from the very beginning that Ji Huai was the culprit.

Zhan Hua approached him, plotted against him, and wanted to use him as a medicine primer, but he accepted his specious bet——

Ji Huai thought in a daze, is he going to be a saint?Unexpectedly, he was able to resist not cutting himself into pieces.

"Thousands of cuts are not enough to make him vent his anger." Quan Ning seemed to have seen through what he was thinking, and said in a low voice, "Do you know why everyone avoids the sea of ​​hell?"

"...Why?"

"If people in ordinary martial arts have grudges or grudges, at most it will be a fight, killing you, or you will end up destroying your whole family." Quan Ning said: "But the people in Hell Sea are different, they will Set up one trap after another to lure you into the bait, so that you will be devoted to them and torture you little by little."

"It's boring to die, but you can't die if you want to die. You can only be tortured by them, which is fun."

"Being entangled by people from Hell Sea is like a living person going to hell, life is worse than death."

"Ye Zhanhua is still good at attacking people's hearts, and his methods are treacherous and ruthless. If he really just killed you as a drug introduction, at most he will be dead and ruined. Do you want to relieve your anger?"

"Ji Huai, think about it carefully."

Quan Ning's voice carried a hint of hatred for iron.

Ji Huai's mind was in a mess, but he managed to maintain a trace of clarity, "But in the end, I owe him—"

Before he finished speaking, he was grabbed by the skirt of his clothes and thrown against the stone wall.

"Do you know how many people died to keep you alive?" Quan Ning said coldly, "You owe him, but according to your calculation, you owe more than one Ye Zhanhua, how many people owe you because of you?" His family is ruined, Ye Zhanhua is still alive at least!"

Ji Huai was stunned.

Bang!

Suddenly there was an explosion in the distance.

Quan Ning's breathing changed, and he dragged him to start running forward.

"Quick! This tunnel is about to collapse!" Quan Ning said loudly.

Ji Huai followed behind him, unable to see clearly, but could clearly feel the heat wave coming from behind.

"Which psychopath dares to use explosives underneath!?" Quan Ning said angrily.

-

ground.

Zhao Yue looked at Song Nan uncertainly, and asked, "Little General Song, is there too much gunpowder?"

"Don't worry, I know the amount. This amount is just enough to explode without causing a collapse." Song Nan said with a firm face, "It's just why Brother Zhao exploded this cave? What's inside?"

Zhao Yue said: "I am in a hurry to save people."

"Save people?" Song Nan looked at the hard rock wall and asked in surprise, "Is someone buried in this rock?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the seemingly thick stone wall collapsed, revealing the dark entrance inside.

"Little General Song, do you still remember the Yizhuang we went to last time?" Zhao Yue waved his hand, and behind him there were people from the warehouse to clean up the gravel.

"Of course I remember." Song Nan asked suspiciously, "Didn't I find no one?"

"It's true that no one was found in Yizhuang, but the people from Cangkongmen found a very hidden mechanism." Zhao Yue said; "In order to avoid making troubles, I just sent people to investigate secretly, and found that the mechanism is connected to the bottom of the lake and extends all the way here. place, but the exit was blocked."

"Just now there is news that Ji Huai has fallen into the mechanism." Zhao Yue said: "It is too late to go to Yizhuang now, so we can only break through directly from here."

Song Nan was shocked, and dragged Zhao Yue to enter the entrance.

Zhao Yue said: "The bottom is complicated, we should send people in first—"

"No, nothing will happen to my future brother-in-law!" Song Nan said angrily, "If he dies, my sister will be a widow!"

Zhao Yue: "..."

The matter that the horoscope has not been written yet made him speak clearly.

The two led a group of more than twenty people into the secret passage, lit the torches, and the shadows of the flames swayed on the stone wall.

"Huh, there are murals on this stone wall?" Song Nan was attracted by the murals above, and was about to take a closer look when the soldiers who were looking for the way ahead reported.

"General, there is a stone gate in front of it, and there are organs outside, so you can't enter it."

"Explode." Song Nan waved his hand.

Zhao Yue's complexion changed, and he hurriedly stopped, "Young general, if explosives are used rashly in this tunnel, it may cause a collapse."

"Don't worry, I have countless people under my command." Song Nan's gaze was still on the mural.

"But—" Zhao Yue was still not at ease.

"Brother Zhao, look, this looks a bit like the murals in the tomb." Song Nan pointed to him, "I don't know how many times the soldiers under my hand have been to the tomb, and I can count them."

Zhao Yue was shocked and said, "Go to the tomb?"

"The dog emperor doesn't give food and salary, brothers have to use silver, don't they?" Song Nan raised an eyebrow at him.

Bang!

A loud noise came from the front, and the tunnel shook violently.

It didn't collapse.

Zhao Yue reluctantly felt relieved.

But Song Nan forgot that if there was a tomb passage underneath, the situation underneath would be completely different.

"There is a three-way intersection ahead, where are we going!?" Quan Ning asked Ji Huai loudly from the front.

"How do I know!" Ji Huai ran out of breath.

"Your life is precious and luck is good, tell me quickly!" Quan Ning roared.

"Left! Go left!" Ji Huai said casually.

Quan Ning led him into the tunnel on the left. As soon as the two of them entered, they didn't know where they touched the mechanism, and the world spun for a while.

In the chaos, Ji Huai felt that he bumped into several people one after another, and then was hugged into his arms, with his hands on the back of his neck.

The familiar fragrance of bitter medicine fell into the nasal cavity, and Ji Huai was in a trance for a moment.

The man fell to the ground holding him.

The moment he landed, the lights were brightly lit, causing Ji Huai's eyelids to ache.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

A hand blocked his eyes, "Look at it later."

"Zhan Hua?" Ji Huai blinked slowly.

"En." Zhan Hua's voice was very clear next to his ears.

Ji Huai slowed down for a while, and finally his eyes stopped blurring. He took Zhan Hua's hand away and looked at him, and found that the other party was also wet, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhan Hua grabbed his hand very naturally, "This is a tomb, and the passages in the tomb extend in all directions. It should be a place with drainage, and the lake water only pours into the bottom layer."

Ji Huai looked aside and found that there were only the two of them, and Quan Ning had disappeared.

I don't know if they were scattered or they ran into Zhanhua, so they hid quietly.

"What are you looking for?" Zhan Hua turned to look at him.

"No..." Ji Huai felt guilty and stuttered accidentally, "What should we do next?"

"Find a way to get out." Zhan Hua said: "Although there is drainage, the gap in the backflow of the lake will only get bigger and bigger, and sooner or later the entire tomb will be flooded."

Ji Huai's heart sank.

"The corpse buried by the lake is not Ji Yu at all." Ji Huai said, "The bell in the corpse's hand is exactly the same as the bell on the gatekeeper's waist."

Zhan Hua said: "Ji Yu doesn't know martial arts, let alone has done rough work, his bones and palm bones are thick, more like—"

"The real gatekeeper?" Ji Huai answered.

"Yeah." Zhan Hua nodded.

Ji Huai frowned, "Then who is this gatekeeper now?"

The two fell silent together.

Since the person who died more than 20 years ago was not Ji Yu but the gatekeeper, now the gatekeeper...

Ji Huai guessed: "Is it possible that Ji Yu is not dead? But who put the wooden sign on the roof beam?"

Ji Huai turned his head to look at him, and under the candlelight, Zhan Hua's side profile overlapped with the side profile of the gatekeeper who flashed by before, which shocked him, "Now that gatekeeper is Ji Yu!?"

Zhan Hua said calmly: "There is such a possibility."

It doesn't sound like much.

"Then why did he even you—" Ji Huai shut up abruptly in the middle of speaking, but it was too late.

Under the dim candlelight, in the damp and cold tomb passage, Zhan Hua slowly raised his eyes to look at him, his handsome face was covered with frost, and his voice was suppressed heavily.

"Ji Huai."
