A ladle of cold water was splashed on his face, and Jiang Xuening finally woke up slowly.
There is still a faint choking taste in the throat and nasal cavity.
She coughed a few times in discomfort, and when she wanted to cover her mouth with her hands, she found that both of her hands were tied behind her back, tied to a column with a diameter of one foot. The hemp rope was a bit rough, and it was tied too tightly, and it had worn away the skin between her wrists, leaving several deep and shallow red marks.
Drops of water fell from her thick eyelashes, blocking her view.
She blinked vigorously, and her eyes slowly changed from blurry to clear.
A somewhat shabby room, with wooden windows and wooden floors, the doorway is dark and full of people, but there is a raised table in front of it, a tea table, and a white-haired old man in a blue-gray priestly robe sits next to him and spreads a brocade mat sitting on the chair, looking her up and down.
Seeing that she had woken up, a young Taoist boy next to him threw the ladle back into the bucket, and retreated to stand beside the old man with his head bowed.
Jiang Xuening finally remembered.
Several days had passed since she was caught, when a group of masked men suddenly rushed out of the forest at such a high speed that she had no time to shout, and someone covered her mouth and nose with a kerchief soaked in choking potion from behind , Passed out in no time. She woke up several times on the way, all in the carriage, because these people woke her up and asked her to eat something. But the supervision is very strict, and she will be fascinated again just after eating.
The whole person was groggy.
When she woke up, she shook her head as if she was shaking it.
It's just that when she saw this old man, she suddenly became sober—
Not only because she had never seen the old man.
What's more, he woke up not in a carriage, but in a room, and tied himself to a log post, presumably to interrogate her?
Although the old man also wore Taoist robes, he was different from Xie Ju'an.
Xie Juan's Taoist robes are commonly worn by literati and hermits in the secular world. Although they are improved from the shape of Taoist priests' robes in Taoist temples, they have never been embroidered with either Taiji or Bagua. This old man was wearing a gown with gossip patterns on the bottom of the sleeves, and his hair was **** in a bun on the top. He was tall and thin, with high cheekbones on both sides of his cheeks, slightly sunken eye sockets, but his eyes were clean and restrained. There is a faint aura of crookedness, coupled with that gray beard, it is indeed a bit of an outsider, a true immortal.
He has long nails on his little finger.
Although he is old and thin, there are not too many wrinkles on his face, as if he has a good face.
A young woman with a slender figure, who looked only twenty-eight years old, was wearing a pomegranate red gauze dress, whether it was on purpose or something, the clothes were slightly messy, her chest was open, revealing her entire neck and one fragrant shoulder, He just knelt down obediently at the old man's feet and beat his legs lightly.
The old man's hand slipped down her neck.
Sticking to her delicate skin, he gently placed it on the back of her neck, and then switched to the back of her hand, actually using this young girl as a stove!
Jiang Xuening's eyelids twitched.
But the old man's eyes stopped on her, carefully scrutinizing her subtle expressions, seeing that although she was woken up by the cold water from the drug, she only looked around and didn't panic, and couldn't help saying: "Little girl She is very calm, and she deserves to be favored by him."
Jiang Xuening didn't know who the "he" he was talking about was.
But looking left and right, there are people with knives and swords inside and out, and there is no shortage of people in ordinary clothes and Taoist robes, but this old man is the only one sitting alone, and there is a little beauty beating his legs. No need to think about it. The initiator of the scene.
Where did she panic?
At the moment, I only said: Your Majesty dispatched so many people, expended so much effort, captured me in a daze, and did not beat or kill me other than being tied up, it must be that I have a lot of use value . That being the case, there is no need to worry about life, so what's the use of being anxious? "
The old man laughed, and he was more appreciative: "Yes, I know the general idea. I have been practicing Taoism for many years, and I have forgotten my worldly name. The Taoist name is 'Wanxiuzi', and I am called 'Taoist Zhenyi'." Yes. This time I went through a lot of trouble to invite Miss Jiang to come as a guest. The children under my command don’t care about their work. If there is any negligence on the way, I will invite the girl Haihan.”
Wanxiuzi!
True Yi Taoist...
Although he was prepared in his heart, Jiang Xuening still felt a chill in his heart when the name rang in his ears.
Wan Xiuzi said, "Isn't that surprising?"
Jiang Xuening said: "If I'm not mistaken, the attack on Tai'an Mansion in Shandong Province last year should have been done by Your Excellency. It's just that it didn't work that time. There is no such thing as 'thousand days to guard against thieves', so it is difficult to prevent it. Daoist It is not surprising that you succeed if you plan carefully and wait for the opportunity."
Wan Xiuzi clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, okay!"
Jiang Xue would rather have heard of this person.
Although I have never seen it in my previous life, and I don't know how the other party will end up, but more than 20 years ago, the Pingnan King's party invaded the capital, killed half of the capital, and almost wiped out the royal family. It can be regarded as treason A remarkable stroke in history.
The court simply hated this man.
However, the Tianjiao is very powerful in the south, and since the defeat of the year, Wan Xiuzi seldom appeared in front of people, only controlled the followers through his cronies, never showed his face unless he had to, and his whereabouts were very secretive.
Therefore, even if the government strangled him many times, there was nothing to gain.
At the moment, she was not particularly able to guess why the other party arrested her, so she didn't dare to speak easily.
But the girl who was kneeling on the ground and beating Wan Xiuzi's legs, heard that Wan Xiuzi was so pleasant to Jiang Xuening, she was so pissed, she rolled her eyes at her, turned her head, but puffed her chest out more and more pitifully. Wan Xiuzi leaned in front of him, his voice was so soft that it made goosebumps all over his body: "Master, it's late today, are you still not convinced by the elixir? I, I have been here for a long time..."
Wan Xiuzi looked down at her.
The young woman fawningly took out a pill of purple red pill from her bosom, and handed it to him. This pill was refined with a lot of effort, and it was taken by Wan Xiuzi every day. As for the effect...
Wan Xiuzi also touched the woman's face, then took out the small pill, put it in his mouth and swallowed it.
Jiang Xuening watched, vaguely aware of the relationship between the two, and felt a chill.
Wan Xiuzi's complexion turned slightly rosy after taking the pill, and he only touched the young woman's chest and neck with his hand, and finally pinched her chin, raised her face to look at her, and then looked at Jiang Xuening again, as if he was comparing something.
The woman was very sour: "Don't you look good?"
Wan Xiuzi was fine at first, but for some reason after this sentence, his complexion darkened instantly, he pinched the woman's chin and pushed back fiercely, and said coldly, "Are you worthy of being compared with her?"
The woman was so wronged that she shed tears.
Wan Xiuzi seemed to be going into a fit, but seeing her pitiful state, he stretched out his hand and patted her cheek lightly, as if treating her as a plaything, but suddenly returned to the previous flat tone, saying: "Du Jun is broken." For example, if you like her, it is naturally much better than you."
Even the congregation around them suddenly had some noisy voices.
All eyes seemed to be on Jiang Xuening suddenly.
There is wonder, there is exploration, and there is wonder.
Jiang Xuening's whole person is not in a good mood, it's not that he has never seen the world and was frightened by this small scene, but that these people look at him differently from before, as if they are looking at someone who has never met before .
After listening carefully, someone vaguely said, "Mr. Du Jun actually found someone to practice" "This woman is very capable"...
The "Du Jun" mentioned in their words...
The name Jiang Xuening is impressive. During the Battle of Tongzhou, Zhang Zhe used the name of "Dujunshanren" to sneak into Tianjiao! Now, Wan Xiuzi actually said that it was Du Jun who fell in love with her?
Under the sudden change of her heart rate, her face inevitably changed a little.
Wan Xiuzi saw this in his eyes.
He suddenly realized something, and his white eyes slowly rolled around: "You still don't know Du Jun's identity?"
Jiang Xuening's heart skipped a beat.
Without Wan Xiuzi's words, she would not understand.
However, after adding this sentence, a flash of spiritual light in her mind split into lightning, which almost made her tremble all over, and then the answer that no one would dare to believe came out in her heart——
Thank you Ju'an!
Wan Xiuzi smacked and smacked, as if feeling interested, he pulled the young girl back, rubbed her up and down, her abdomen became stiff, but her expression seemed unmoved, but when the word "Dujun" was mentioned, she gradually remembered it. It's been more than twenty years.
He snorted coldly.
When he spoke, he sighed a little: "For many years, I thought I would do good for the heavens, but I didn't want to attract wolves into the house and raise tigers. It's not that I can't bear my temper, but even though my body is still nourishing properly, I can protect myself at night. Female, I think that the way of cultivation is to reconcile yin and yang, but after all, the time will pass quickly, and the lifespan will be exhausted. If I don’t do anything else, I’m afraid that I’ll make wedding clothes for Xie. I didn’t expect that God has the virtue of good life, so he actually helped me and wanted him Misunderstood by women, revealing such a big flaw! Is there any reason for the poor to not laugh at it?"
Jiang Xuening vaguely heard something: it turned out that she was arrested to deal with Xie Ju'an.
The young girl moaned and yelled under Wan Xiuzi's hand.
Wan Xiuzi only treats her like an object, even though he plays with it, he shows no sympathy for her, it's just creepy to see her.
He even had a laugh.
He just said: "My Tianjiao is the orthodox Taoism, and we should lighten our desires. It's just that not touching the mat is not considered cultivation. It must be the harmony of male and female, and the separation of body and mind. Sex is the way to 'get the Tao'. I thought he had the roots of wisdom, so I asked Gongyi to find some clean ones, and put him on the bed for him to practice. I was thinking, 'a lonely sun doesn't grow' , the woman's place is after all the cave of ecstasy, the hero's tomb. If you don't practice early, you will see some beautiful goblin when you are in a hurry, and your lower body can't move. It will be a mistake. Unexpectedly, he won't appreciate it."
At this point, Wan Xiuzi's application has become a little more pleasant.
Especially when looking at Jiang Xuening, she was somewhat satisfied.
It is really rare for him to have such a proud moment in the past two years, especially when he caught Xie Wei's weakness and just waited for others to fall into the trap, he relaxed a lot: "Hmph, I also know that he is restless these years. It's as if he doesn't take me as the head teacher seriously anymore. It's just that he has always acted meticulously, and he dealt with several of his cronies to death. It's a pity that he ignored it back then, and I didn't make it into him; now, it has become his Achilles' heel. Such a powerful person, after all, did not escape the word "love" and fell on a woman. God will help me, Let me ascend to the Great Treasure and rule the world!"
Jiang Xuening's face paled when he heard this old man's foul language.
Thinking about how much trouble he would bring to Xie Wei, Yan Lin and the others when he was in prison, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Wan Xiuzi seemed to be doing it on purpose, and asked again: "He didn't fight back when he was stabbed by you, so he must have gotten you to accompany him in his cultivation. It's very interesting, right?"
"Practice"...
The corners of Jiang Xuening's eyes twitched slightly, pretending she didn't hear it.
Instead, he said: "There are alchemists in the palace who use mercury to make alchemy and serve the emperor exclusively, which can bring people back to their youthful days. If the leader is worried about the age, you can give it a try."
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Wan Xiuzi raised his head and laughed out loud, unmoved by her words at all.
"The dog emperor got the pills offered by the evil alchemists, and his life is not long! Little girl, you think I don't know that mercury is highly poisonous? Taoist practice is the way to keep in good health, and it is natural to warm up. If you want to see me take pills and violently Damn, I'm afraid it's not possible."
Jiang Xuening: "..."
The leader of a cult who is serious about health preservation, is really a breath of fresh air among the alchemists who are everywhere making mercury pills.
She was really convinced.
Wan Xiuzi glanced at the gradually darkening sky outside, and said: "There are only two hours left, if Du Jun doesn't come..."
He looked back at Jiang Xuening.
Jiang Xuening cursed inwardly, thinking about Xie Ju'an's personality, she didn't even bother to roll her eyes at the head teacher, and said: "Don't worry, Xie Ju'an will definitely come, but he definitely won't come alone. If I'm the head teacher, clean up now There is still time for things to run.”
Wan Xiuzi's pupils shrank slightly, as if he was considering her words.
After a while, he smiled and said darkly: "I want to see it too."
The two did not speak any more.
Even though Jiang Xuening said this, it was only based on her understanding of Xie Wei in her previous life and the intersection with Xie Wei in this life, so she didn't really have a bottom line in her heart. She has seen what that person looks like when he is crazy. It's not impossible to do something like single-handedly and go deep into the tiger's den.
Just like that, he fell into a trap.
Not only can't save her, but I'm afraid it will make the two of them fall into a normal predicament.
She prayed in her heart that Xie Ju'an would not show up.
If you wait until the beginning of the child, you will not see anyone.
Wan Xiuzi's complexion is getting worse and worse.
Seeing that the clock was about to strike at three o'clock, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and a Taoist boy bowed his head outside the door and reported: "I would like to report to the leader, Mr. Du Jun, please see me outside the sub-helm! Xinzhou There is no change in the army, no one is following along the way, and they are indeed returning to the sect alone!"
