Chapter 255 Sudden Night Visit of the Guard
The moon is brighter, the earth is transparent, and the world is like a white angel walking between the earth, walking on the ground and wandering in the woods. The fragrance of various wild flowers floated in the air, as if an invisible fairy was gently blowing clouds.
The sound of crickets came one after another, and finally turned into silence. The ensemble of the frog in the distance gradually turned into a crisp solo. The night is quieter.
Chen Lai lay in ** and did not fall asleep, but used "Tuilong Jue" to search for something he needed. Suddenly, he saw that Wu Ting was taking a bath on "Tuilong Jue". He turned over and got out of bed and walked out of the room.
Are you taking a shower? Brother Lai, take this opportunity to put it upside down with you. He glanced at the other rooms.
Every room is very quiet. The people inside seem to have fallen asleep, and only a thin red snake crawls in front of each door. This is the "sentinel" he arranged in front of each room. As long as someone walks out of the room, he will get relevant information.
He walked to a corner and waved to a disciple sitting on the guard, "Brother, are you two a sentinel or am I a sentinel?"
The disciple looked tired and waved to him, pointing to Wu Ting's room.
"Don't worry about going to bed. I'll keep you safe tonight."
The disciple shook his head, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and pointed to Wu Ting's room again.
I don't believe you won't come down. Chen Lai muttered and waved his hand.
Suddenly, a group of thin red snakes scrambled to climb up and crawled to the disciple, surrounding him in the center. Everyone shouted at him; the green-eyed fangs were indeed a little horrible.
But the disciple sat still motionless.
Wu Ting is really powerful. This disciple would not have come down without her instructions. Chen Lai shook his head, "Wait, I'll talk to her."
Seeing a disciple sitting on the roof in the north, Chen Lai also waved to him and then walked to Wu Ting's room.
In the whole yard, only Wu Ting's room is still lit with candlelight. This is a tube room with curtains in the middle. Outside is the living room, and inside is the bedroom.
Like walking into his room, Chen Lai opened the door and closed the door.
Before he took a step forward, a flying knife flew over his cheek and shot on the door panel. The sound is dull and has great strength.
Chen Lai felt a gust of wind blowing from his ear, and there was no time to react at all. He saw that it was a dagger that had penetrated deep into the door panel. Reaching out to pull it out, the dagger turned into clouds and disappeared into the air, but the deep pit looked dark.
Wu Ting is already a four-level cloud king, and her skills are close to an amazing degree. The cloud gas she plays casually can be turned into any weapon she wants.
"Chen sentry, are you a thief... I have left face for you in front of your mother." Wu Ting really bathed in a bathtub, and her white and plump shoulders were exposed in the mist.
According to her judgment, none of the men in this yard, including Chen Lai, dared to break into her room without permission, so she took a shower happily in the living room. Girls always love to be clean and have been busy for so long that she can't sleep without taking a bath. However, Chen Lai actually came. She knew that he was not to peek at her body, but that he had other ideas, but his anger was still getting bigger and bigger like the fog around her.
The spring around her began to spin like floodwater, but there was no sound.
Chen Lai smiled faintly and used his feet to put a semi-green and semi-yellow pear leaf sticking to the soles of his feet. He took a few steps to pick up the curtain to the wall and sat down by the bamboo bed. "Wu Ting, I'm not a fool. I will never take a step forward when I shouldn't talk to someone."
Wu Ting's hands holding the spring stopped in front of her chest, "Chen sentry Wei, let's talk about it."
"I want to know the route you came from." Chen Lai looked at her with serious eyes.
Wu Ting turned her neck and looked at him with the remnants of her eyes, "Chen sentry, as a sentry, you should be very clear about what you should ask and what you should shut up."
"I can see from the faces of the guards that they are very tired, which shows that you have lived in the last place for a short time, and you are in a hurry. Can't you see anything wrong?"
Wu Ting clattering for a while, she shook it casually, and a fog came out of her hand and flew to the curtain. The curtain was wrapped in clouds and pulled up with a crash, blocking Chen Lai's sight.
When the curtain opened again, Wu Ting had walked out of the bathtub and put on a white nightgown, showing her exquisite figure, but her face was white and her eyes were quiet, making her more lonely and cold. She did not look at Chen Lai, but at the wall beside him.
Chen Lai wanted to sit in Zhu** for a while, but his buttocks stood up. He had to believe that this was the strongest practitioner he had ever seen, and the breath on her made you have to react. Just like when a small official sees a big official, you will unconsciously stand up. Although you want to maintain a kind of self-esteem, and although you want to tell the other party that you are a person who can't peep, these are useless at all.
"What did you guess?" Wu Ting sat at the head of the bed, picked up the brown wooden comb and combed her long hair.
In order to calm himself down, Chen Lai put his arms around her and looked at her and said bluntly, "Among your eleven guards, one of them is a traitor."
According to his idea, the other party should be stunned, but the other party was indifferent, "Why don't you doubt me?"
Chen Lai turned around and stamped his head. "This man has been among you for many years. His purpose is not to kill his wife and lady, but to have a greater purpose. I think only my wife knows this purpose.
Wu Ting put down the comb, shook her hair, and threw her hair on her shoulder, which made her a little more charming. "You deliberately pretended to be a scoundrel when you met us just now, just to make it easier for us to find the so-called traitor, right?"
Chen Lai walked to the edge of the half-green and half-yellow leaf, stepped on it with the heel of his boots, grinded it hard, and crushed the leaves. "On the way here, he made a mark so that the killers could follow the picture. If you can't find this traitor these two days, a killer will come the day after tomorrow.
"You can guess what the young lady's name is and what kind of illness she is suffering from. Why don't you just guess the so-called traitor and see if he will slap you in the face."
Eleven guards have been together with Wu Ting for at least four years. She thinks that they are all confidants of the master and will risk their lives for their wives and ladies. When Chen Lai suddenly mentioned this topic, her contempt was even stronger. He shook his hand and threw four mosquitoes to the ground at the same time. "Do you think there are too many mosquitoes here?"
"Wu Ting, because I'm a sentry, I have my own way to get some secrets, but I need your cooperation in this matter." "Tui Long Jue" can only help him search for ready-made information. Of course, it can't be searched what a person thinks, and the search scope is only 3,000 meters. If you want to find out who the traitor is, you must investigate 3,000 meters away, and Wu Ting is the core of this group of guards, so Chen Lai can only ask her.
"I'm going to bed. Let's go." Wu Ting picked up the cool pillow and put it on the outside of the head of the bed. "By the way, pour the bath water... Don't forget to close the door for me."
Chen Lai stood still.
If no traitor can be found, not only their lives are in danger, but more importantly, his life will be in danger. Of course, he doesn't allow it.
"Wu Ting, you have no choice." He smiled and looked into her eyes.
Wu Ting grabbed a knife at the top of the bed and threw it on the purple bamboo cabinet beside her with a bang. This is a black knife. The exquisite pattern on it and the heavy and stagnant color under the candlelight prove that it is a sword, and its body is extremely sharp.
"Wu Ting, you have no choice." Chen Lai still said this sentence, which is more serious than the previous sentence.
Wu Ting dropped her eyes on the sword, "Chen sentry, I have never put my hope on a sentry guard everywhere, and the same is true in the Green Ghost Forest. It's just that I don't want this sentry to die before the killer comes.
"You may come from the west, from the northwest, or from the southwest. It is a mistake to come to the Green Ghost Forest. To the north of the Green Ghost Forest is Hansi Mountain, which is only more than 2,000 meters high, but the air above is extremely cold. You can fly there with you, but the lady and lady can't resist the severe cold, so the north side doesn't work. To the south of the Green Ghost Forest is Baiqijing, where officials sit on the ground. There will be hundreds of arresters, yamen and killers, and more disciples of Tiezimen. They have long been surrounded by a circle waiting for you, so it is difficult to pass in the south. Is it even more impossible on the mountain? Do you want to go back the same way? A better way is to send someone to find a way out before the killer comes, and I will track down this traitor..."
"Chen Sentinelwei..." Wu Ting felt that the smell of wine on his body became more and more annoying. She gently put her long finger on the hilt of the sword and interrupted him. "This sword kills people and will not bleed."
With her cold tone, the candlelight on the wax table flashed, as if to avoid something, while the wax liquid melted in big drops.
Chen Lai put his eyes on the wax table at the head of the bed, and his eyes wrinkled.
The white candle on the wax table is jumping and burning, and the melted wax liquid on it is pouring down, making the candle much thicker than before. In the solemn cold air, it seemed to shed tears silently.
He knew that the other party was angry, but he felt that he still had no choice.
"You're right..." He turned around and walked to the end of the bed. "If I guess correctly, you draw your sword with your right hand..."
Wu Ting was stunned, twisted her neck and stared at his back, "What do you want to say?"
Chen Lai went to the piece of pear leaves that had been ground and saw that there was still a petiole left. He stepped on it with his heel and twisted it hard. "Your left arm is injured and the wound is moving to your shoulder. In a short time, it will be transferred to your heart..."
Wu Ting stood up. The wound on her arm was left when she played with a killer at the last accommodation. She was the only one who knew, and even Zheng Tiehui and Zheng Yingying were kept in the dark. As the core of the guard, she was seriously injured, which is a major event that loses ambition and military spirit. At the same time, her defense ability will also be greatly reduced. She dares not let anyone know! She can't believe that Chen Lai knew this!" How did you know I was hurt?
The tone suddenly eased.
"I said that as a sentry, you have to have the ability to perceive important news. But this is far from enough for me. I need your help, just like you need my help now. Chen Lai pointed to her left arm, "Your wound is a knife wound, and the upper and lower parts are poisonous. This poison is an active poison that can be fixed in one place or transferred. On the one hand, it destroys your blood and disintegrate your internal organs on the one hand. So, I said that when the poison transferred to your heart, you were hopeless.
Wu Ting sighed and sat down slowly and looked at the wax table. "Originally, I thought that using practice could force poison and easily remove this toxin. I have been trying to force poison, but I didn't expect that the more poison is, the more toxic it is.
"Cultivation is not omnipotent... It can make people strong, but it can't make people omnipotent." Chen Lai picked up a small white porcelain basin in the corner and walked to her, came to her, put the small basin by the bed, and grabbed her left hand.
Wu Ting did not refuse.
Chen Lai grabbed her hand and looked at it.
There is no blood on it, purple and black. He sighed softly, "After a long time, your left hand will be broken first."
Wu Ting glanced at her left hand and left arm with disgust, "I've wanted to break it for a long time..."
Chen Lai shook her head and gently raised her left arm.
"Ah..." Wu Ting frowned and couldn't help moaning. Her left arm can't move, otherwise it will be a torn pain. However, she did not scold the other party. Somehow, at this time, she believed in the man beside her, but she turned her head sideways, closed her eyes and bit her lips.
Chen Lai stepped on the bed, put her left hand on his knee, grabbed the hilt of the sword on the bedside, pulled out the sword, grabbed her cuff, and cut her sleeve with a scolding sound, and cut it all the way to her shoulder. The movement is slow, but it looks very soothing.
The wound on Wu Ting's shoulder was wrapped in layers of white cloth. Because it was infected by blood, the white cloth had turned dark red.
Chen Lai cut through the red cloth with his sword and uncovered the red cloth.
Because the red cloth has been completely combined with flesh and blood, it is very difficult to uncover and break away. Wu Ting moaned again in pain. There are already big drops of sweat on her little face. At this time, she turned her neck and looked at Chen Lai and then at the wound.
Chen Lai has always been expressionless, completely removing the blood cloth and throwing it to the ground. At this time, the wound was exposed in candlelight and turned purple, and part of the skin and flesh on it was swollen and rotten, flowing black blood, emitting a stench like a decaying corpse.
Compared with the snow-white and tender skin next to it, it is hard to imagine that this is on the same person!
Even Wu Ting smelled this stench and suddenly turned sideways to cough, thinking of vomiting. But after enduring it, she still turned her head and looked at Chen Lai. In order to make the candle shine completely on the wound, she turned sideways.
"It will hurt down there. You have to hold back." Chen Lai drew a cross on the wound with his sword, and the blood suddenly flowed to the small basin below.
Wu Ting understood that her moan could not be heard by the disciples outside, and clenched the scabbard and persisted.
In a short time, more than half of the blood flowed.
The air is suddenly surrounded by a smell of stench and blood. There were many mosquitoes buzzing in the air, but when they were attacked by this gas, they fell to the ground. Before long, a layer of death was already on the ground.
Wu Ting kept biting the scabbard. Suddenly, she found a layer of mosquitoes on the ground. She took off the scabbard and looked at Chen and reminded her urgently, "Chen Lai, the air is poisonous. You should be careful." Unconsciously, she changed her name.
Hey, you bitch just said a word of concern to me now. I've wanted to vomit for a long time! But in order to pretend to be cool, I had to continue with a cold face. "When I promised Wang Meiyu to be a sentry, I already thought I was a dead person."
Wu Ting was stunned and took out a pill as small as human elixir from a small bag at the head of the bed and handed it to Chen.
Chen Lai knew that this was a cloud elixir owned by senior cloud practitioners. He was a little excited, but he was still calm on the surface. "I admit that I'm a little thief... but I don't have a third hand."
