On the other side, the boat stopped by the water of Jianlu, and Jingshu told Lue to go back to Luomeiju to change clothes, and then went directly to Jishitang with Ye Ying.The atmosphere in the small courtyard, which used to be peaceful in the past, was a little tense at the moment. The guards with swords stood in a circle under the corridor, strictly guarding the people in the room.
"what happened?"
The person nearby cupped his hands and said: "The man who was caught just now is unconscious, but his fingernails are very sharp. Sheng Shenzhen wanted to heal him but his wrist was scratched. The disciples can only take him out and lock him up." inside."
Ye Ying frowned, "I'll go into the room and have a look, Jing Shu, you can visit Sheng Shenzhen for me, I don't know how his injury is."
"I... want to go in with you." Jing Shu glanced at the closed door. It was quiet inside, but the situation made people very worried. Asked: "Is the person in the room awake?"
"We knocked him out and tied him to a chair, and he didn't move for a while."
Ye Ying patted the back of the woman's hand, "You can't hurt me, go."
Seeing the unquestionable expression between his brows, Jing Shu slowly let go of her tightly clenched hands, "Then...be careful."
Nodding his head, he waited for Jingshu to be led to Sheng Changfeng's residence before he took a step forward. The attendant opened the door for him in front of him. There was a vague figure in the dark room, "Who was this person?"
"It's the buddy of the medicinal material warehouse. My disciple was ordered to patrol. When he saw him coming out of the medicinal material warehouse with a strange expression, he stepped forward and questioned him. Unexpectedly, the other party stumbled and couldn't even complete a sentence. Someone accidentally touched his body and was suddenly turned back." When I scratched it, his fingernails were extremely sharp, and they didn't look like human fingers."
Ye Ying thought deeply, "What did Mr. Sheng say?"
"It is said that the Gu worms have been lurking for many days and have devoured their brains. Now that the Gu worms are hooked out, they become walking corpses, and they are no longer unconscious." The attendant looked at the person tied to the chair in front of him, and his heart was a little trembling. If you get into your own body...
"Is there a way to restore it?"
"The master said that Gu poison is difficult to cure, and the possibility of recovery is very small."
His fingertips were slightly cold, Ye Ying sighed, "Arrange him to be treated in Jishitang."
Under the guidance of another attendant, Jing Shu saw Sheng Changfeng. There were five bloody scratches on the latter's wrist, which were of different lengths. They were very hideous on his withered arms. She hurried forward, "Mr. Sheng , this...how did you get hurt so badly?"
"It won't be a big problem if you apply the medicine in time. It's because the old man is too old to react in time. You don't have to worry." Sheng Changfeng showed a kind smile, as if he couldn't feel the pain in his hand, "The Gu people's fingers didn't bring any pain." Poison, presumably it’s not some fatal Gu.”
Jingshu took the gauze and powder from Yaotong's hand and helped him bandage the wound, then knelt down beside him, "Mr. is talking about Gu people, but are you talking about the arrested person?"
He stroked his beard with his other good hand, Sheng Changfeng nodded, waved his hands to signal the medicine boys on both sides to back down, and said with a serious expression: "The old man has checked the replaced medicinal materials, and the appearance is similar to the usual Cang Zhu. It’s the same, except that the color is slightly darker yellow, and the cut surface has obviously been treated by someone, and the inner core is the color of human blood. If we didn’t notice it and added it to the blue soup, the consequences would be unforeseen.”
Her face was slightly pale, Ye Ying wanted to use Mu Lan's name to clean up the inside and outside of the villa, but it also gave her opponent a chance to control the whole village. The secret of the Gu technique is really hard to guard against, fortunately, it was discovered early...
Jingshu suppressed the lingering fear in her heart, but she heard Sheng Changfeng continue to say: "The girl needs to tell the owner of the estate to be careful of all drinking water sources and entrances. In my humble opinion, the other party may have witch doctors to help. Well, if it is evil, there will be many insidious methods, and it will kill a family or even a city at every turn. At that time, no matter how good the old man's medical skills are, one person will not be able to save the overall situation."
The red lips trembled, and Jing Shu didn't recover for a moment. The sound of fighting suddenly came from the front yard of Jishitang, and she rushed out of the room. The courtyard was full of disciples with drawn swords out of their sheaths. After a moment of sadness, Ye Ying let go of the hilt of the sword in her hand, as if feeling the warmth of her blood.
Jing Shu came to Ye Ying's side, her face turned pale immediately, she saw the man kneeling in front of him in an extremely distorted posture, with several dripping wounds on his body, two long swords pierced his chest from the back, the tip of the sword Staggered in front of the body, blood gushed out.
Sheng Changfeng then rushed over with the support of the drug boy. Seeing this scene, he sighed slightly: "The Gu lost his mind and suffered while alive. Death is also a kind of relief."
Her soft palms wrapped her tightly clenched fists under her sleeves, and Jing Shu whispered beside Ye Ying, who turned her head towards her with a slightly mournful expression, and only after a long while said softly to the others: "Prepare a coffin A generous burial, so that he can take care of his family."
Gathering her mind, Ye Ying ordered in a deep voice: "Call all the people he had contact with during his lifetime to ask them one by one."
After half an hour, Ye Hui hurried back, finally waited until the Dragon Boat Festival was over, he listened to the news from the dark guard all the way across the gate of the villa.Ye Ying and Jing Shu have questioned everyone, and indeed found some traces.
According to the companion of the clerk in the medicine storehouse, he was a dull person, and he often walked alone without answering during this time, and sometimes he showed some strange expressions.
When asked specifically when it started, someone answered that a group of them went shopping in the street a month ago and met a beautiful woman in green clothes. The little lady hooked her soul, she smiled and never took it to heart.
Ye Ying made people think about the woman's appearance and characteristics, but no one remembered it, only saying that she was a beauty.
"It's strange, since she is a beautiful woman, why can't she remember her face and only know that she is good-looking?" Luo Meijuli, Ye Hui raised his eyebrows and muttered, "At least I have a little impression, not at all?"
Jing Shu shook her head, "I can't even remember what I was wearing, and it took me a long time to think of such a person. I think it might be that the other party used some voodoo techniques."
Ye Hui let out a sigh, and said: "During this time, I have also collected a lot of strange people and strange things about the Miao people. Gu breeding is prevalent there, and Gu worms like women's feminine bodies the most, so the status of women among the Miao people is the same as ours. The Han people are different. If we want to say that this suspicious woman in green clothes is our opponent, I think it is not impossible."
"Just now, Jing Shu and I checked the wells in various parts of the villa and ordered people to guard them secretly. There will be more people drawing water at noon. We have to arrange people to be on standby at any time. If we find suspicious people, we will take them down immediately. Mu Lanzhi The matter is no small matter, since the other party also wants to play tricks on this, we can't let them do what they want."
The orchid soup prepared by Sheng Changfeng has the effect of repelling insects. If there are Gu worms living in the body and soaked in the orchid soup, it will react. This is also an opportunity to get rid of hidden dangers.
After seeing Ye Hui off, Jing Shu turned her head and saw Ye Ying standing under the crabapple tree with her hands behind her back and her expression was silent. People were killed in the villa today, and they were not in a good mood.Footsteps came quietly to his side, his hands wrapped around one arm, and he closed his eyes without saying a word.
The man was not killed by Ye Ying, he wanted to check his pulse to see how his inner breath was, but the comatose man suddenly woke up and struggled violently, a man who had never practiced martial arts actually shattered the ropes around him, and turned towards Ye in front of him. Ying rushed forward.Ye Ying dodged it, and the attendant who entered the room with him drew his sword on the spot, and while he was using his internal force to push the others back, the sharp claws of the medicine store clerk had already come to him.
Ye Ying had no choice but to stride out of the room, the man rushed out of the door, and the guard waiting outside scratched him a few times, but the other party rushed towards him as if he couldn't feel the pain.Ye Ying didn't have time to call people to stop, two sharp swords had already pierced his chest.
They killed people, they killed innocent people.If someone had a Gu attack tonight, how would they deal with it?
Sheng Changfeng said that the Gu people lost their souls, and death is a relief.
Liberation means killing people.The sword in his hand was very heavy.
"Aying, I have an idea, but after listening... you might disagree." Jing Shu raised her head and stared at the man who suddenly hugged her into his arms, her slightly frowned eyebrows seemed to have guessed what she wanted to say, "You and I don't want to see someone die in vain. This happened because of me. Why don't you push me out?"
"Jingshu..."
Pressing her finger on her thin lips that were about to say something, Jing Shu said softly, "The opponent's tricks are endless, and we haven't even seen their shadows for such a long time. If this continues, the lives of everyone in Hidden Sword Villa will be threatened. If they It's for me, it's the best way for me to leave Hidden Sword Villa."
"If their target is me, they won't embarrass you. If I go to other places, you will definitely not be at ease, so I thought about it, I will live in another courtyard, and you can also take advantage of this time to bring the three masters back. .I don't have you by my side, they might feel better about it, I'll be the bait to lure them into the bait."
Seeing Ye Ying's gloomy face, Jing Shu leaned against his chest and rubbed lightly, like a coquettish little beast, "Aying, think about it carefully, okay?"
Not good, not good at all.
Arms clamped the woman's slender waist and lowered her head to reach her eyebrows, "Jingshu, I can't let you face the danger alone."
"Then you arrange some people to protect me secretly, and they will notify you as soon as there is any danger." Jing Shu blinked, her long eyelashes swept over his drooping eyes, his breathing was low, as if he was holding back something .
Ye Ying still denied her idea, "Jingshu, I have my own way to preserve the hidden sword villa, so don't mention this matter again."
The soft and slender hands made the most daring movements ever, and the palms fell on the top of the man's snowy hair, stroking back and forth, and the soft and watery voice was extremely firm, "Aying, you will agree."
This is the best way, they know each other well.
During lunch, Nanny Qin noticed that Ye Ying's face was sinking like water. The two of them didn't sit next to each other as usual. She winked several times, but she was indifferent, and eating a lunch made her feel depressed.
The bright sun at noon today was extremely hot, Jingshu sat in the corridor and weaved five-color thread with Lue, looking back at the man in the study who had been silent since then, a trace of astringency flashed quickly in her eyes.
Lue wanted to speak several times but was held down by Jing Shu, she could only shrug to Qin Nanny who kept looking around from the corner, showing a helpless expression.The conversation between Ye Ying and Jing Shu has always been mysterious, and she was not allowed to listen in many times, so she didn't know what happened to these two people in the past hour.
