Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve Illusion

Lin Wan lowered her head beside the eight stone pots in the Green Vine Radial Palace, and slowly gave Shui Meier two needles, swirling it slightly, Shui Meier's eyes moved slightly, her expression was serene. Lin Wan pulled out the silver needle, put it into the needle pouch, turned her head and smiled at Huo Xiaoxie who was standing by the side: "Shui Meier has survived! She will wake up at any time, she is not easy! The willpower of the Shui family It is really one of the best among the five elements!" Huo Xiaoxie said happily: "That's great! As long as Shui Meier is fine. Lin Wan, how are you doing?"

Lin Wan said: "Some progress has been made, but there is still a long way to go. I only solved one taste, which is somewhat similar to human blood." Tian Wen was also standing aside, and said in a deep voice, "Human blood?" Lin Wan said: "I don't mean ordinary human blood, I mean it's a little bit similar, I can't tell yet." Huo Xiaoxie asked, "Can human blood still be used as a blind medicine?" Lin Wan said softly: "Sometimes it's okay. Don't ask, it's still hard to say now! Don't misunderstand." Huo Xiaoxie said: "There is no misunderstanding. I mean I have a lot of blood. If I really want to use human blood, I can just use mine. Haha, I think I used my blood back then, but it broke the wall of Naihe. Lin Wan, you want to use it?" Say it with blood."

Lin Wan smiled lightly, bowed her head and didn't answer, she was actually a little happy, but Lin Wan turned her head and took a breath, her expression suddenly became serious, she took a few more breaths, stood up abruptly, and said sharply: "That's not good. ! There is a very unusual smell! I have never smelled such a smell!" Huo Xiaoxie, Tian Wen, Pan Zi, Qiao Da, and Qiao Er were all taken aback by Lin Wan's sudden words. Huo Xiaoxie asked first, "What's wrong? Is the miasma coming again?" Lin Wan said sharply: "No! It is much worse than miasma! Although I have never smelled this smell, I know it is absolutely powerful."

After Lin Wan finished speaking, Huo Xiaoxie's ears pricked up unconsciously, and a low, strange cry seemed to float from the side. Huo Xiaoxie shouted: "There is a sound, there is a sound, there is a sound, over there!" Huo Xiaoxie said, pointing to the side. Lin Wan replied: "No matter what it is, I don't think we can stay here anymore. Let's carry Shui Meier on our backs and hide outside first! Come and help me!" Everyone didn't hesitate, Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi took a step forward, lifted Shui Meier from the ground, and supported Huo Xiaoxie on Huo Xiaoxie's back.

Lin Wan led everyone and was about to run towards one side of the wall, but just after running a few steps, she heard a rustling sound, and several vines shot out from the gap in the wall like green snakes, flying in the air. He probed, and fell powerlessly to the ground. Everyone stared blankly, and Pan Zi scolded: "What the hell! Is it a tree vine?" Lin Wan gasped heavily, and shouted softly: "It's bad, we can't leave here, there are unknown things in the Green Vine Palace manipulating the vines to attack! This place is protected by the aura of the main vein of the Cracking Mountain Root, and the things outside Can’t get in. Let’s step back and sit in the middle of the eight stone pots!”

Everyone didn't dare to be negligent, and stepped back to the center of the eight stone pots, looking nervously at everything around them.Sure enough, as Lin Wan said, there are vines of different thicknesses shooting out from the four walls in this hollow, but once they touch the outside, they will hang down limply and lose their vitality. Huo Xiaoxie shouted: "These vines can move no matter what!" Lin Wan bit her lip tightly, and said, "It can only be the reason for Muyan's attack! We are trapped by Muyan!" Huo Xiaoxie said in surprise: "Then what should we do? Why did the wooden door have an attack? We have already avoided it!"

Lin Wan furrowed her eyebrows tightly and said, "Someone has alarmed Muyu! Someone is coming! It's a stranger!" Huo Xiaoxie only heard a swishing sound in his ear, looked up, and saw a rope shooting out from a high gap, a three-claw hook clamped the Lie Shangen on the side, almost as if he was busy with his own way Jumped out and swung away. Swish, swish, more and more three-clawed hooks pulling ropes shot out from everywhere, some caught the cracked mountain root, and the hook soldiers swung out afterward, some of the three-claw hooks failed to catch, but the hook soldiers behind continued He ran wildly and fell straight down, unable to stand up.

Then there was a shout from high above, two ropes shot out, and two figures jumped out, one of them was a big man with a big dog under his arms, he jumped out, followed by a swing, and kicked on the side On the root of the cracked mountain, he retracted the rope and jumped straight from a height of one foot. This big man is Zhang Siye. Zhang Siye jumped down, dropped Heifeng, put his hands in a pan, retracted the three-claw hook, then swung it up, grabbed the root of the cracked mountain, and shouted: "Mr. Zhou! Jump!" !" A thin figure turned over in the air, grabbed the rope out of thin air, slid around in the air, the rope sank, and then jumped down, less than a foot, and landed safely.

There were thirteen people who jumped down desperately like this, namely Fourth Master Zhang, Mr. Zhou and Hook Bing. Fourth Master Zhang, Mr. Zhou and the others hadn't come in time to gather them together, when Heifeng Wangwangwang yelled excitedly and ran towards the eight stone pots in the open space. Fourth Master Zhang and the others turned their heads to look, and were also stunned. In the middle of the eight stone pots, there were several young men and women standing, looking at them as well. Fourth Master Zhang said in a deep voice: "The road to Yuanjia is narrow! We finally met!"

When Huo Xiaoxie and the others saw Fourth Master Zhang and others jumping from the sky, they were all ready to fight.When Fourth Master Zhang and the others came down, Huo Xiaoxie took a closer look and said to himself in a low voice, "Fourth Master Zhang?" Pan Zi also whispered: "Huo Xiaoxie, it's Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou!" Huo Xiaoxie hated Zhang Siye very much, but when they were in Shanxi, Zhang Siye and Mr. Zhou were almost cornered by the Shui family. They met by chance in a ruined temple. After listening to Mr. Zhou's story, they felt Fourth master Zhang's life experience is also very pitiful. Huo Xiaoxie and his four little brothers, together with Hei Sanbian, stole the Linglong mirror, which was Zhang Siye's life, and forced him to travel all over the world to search for it. It really shouldn't be.Therefore, Huo Xiaoxie doesn't hold much grudge against Fourth Master Zhang.

Meeting here today is inevitable, Huo Xiaoxie can't help but have mixed feelings, everything that happened in Fengtian is almost in front of his eyes. Fourth Master Zhang, Mr. Zhou and the others were still in shock, seeing how many people were already here, they couldn't recognize Huo Xiaoxie and the others at once.Seeing that he had just escaped the crazy attack of the wooden house and came to a temporarily safe place, he met a few people waiting here, and Heifeng ran over excitedly to recognize each other, Zhang Siye immediately concluded that it must be from the Huo family enemy!Fourth master Zhang and Mr. Zhou didn't dare to be careless, they sternly shouted a few times, called the hook soldiers to gather, and confronted Huo Xiaoxie and the others. Heifeng didn't care about these things, it searched hard for Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi and the others, and when it finally saw it, it got carried away with joy, barked and rushed straight to Huo Xiaoxie. Huo Xiaoxie recognized it as Heifeng at a glance, felt happy, and shouted: "Heifeng!" Hei Feng had already run up, stood on both feet, put two big paws on Huo Xiaoxie's shoulders, stretched out his big tongue and licked Huo Xiaoxie's face indiscriminately.Huo Xiaoxie shouted: "Heifeng, don't lick, don't lick!" Pan Zi also shouted happily: "Heifeng, you bastard!" As soon as Hei Feng turned his head to see Pan Zi, Xiao Xie let go of the fire, and rushed over to play with Pan Zi again, his big tail wagging like a fan, whistling with wind. Fourth Master Zhang looked here, and cursed in a low voice: "San Jiaozi, you white-eyed wolf! But I raised you since childhood!" Mr. Zhou said: "Master Zhang, the two boys approaching by Heifeng look very familiar! Do you remember that we are in Shanxi?" Fourth Master Zhang took a closer look and recognized Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi, and murmured: "Huo Xiaoxie? Who? Who is the woman lying on the ground?" Mr. Zhou said: "If it's just Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi, it's not a problem, but the rest of the people can't be careless! Especially the handsome man and the girl in emerald green clothes with short hair at the ears, they are definitely not ordinary people. "Mr. Zhou was talking about Tian Wen and Lin Wan. Here, Hei Feng made out with Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi, and then went to say hello to Qiao Da, Qiao Er, Tian Wen, and Lin Wan. Stop rubbing everyone's legs and feet. Lin Wan touched Heifeng's head and said, "Heifeng, good dog, I know that if it were you, you would definitely find us." Tian Wen grinned lightly, but said nothing.Qiao Da and Qiao Er squatted beside Hei Feng, shouting, "Hei Feng, let's hug each other!" Fourth Master Zhang yelled: "Three chewers, get back! You are so brave!" Hei Feng heard Fourth Master Zhang's call, and looked back, rather hesitant, not knowing whether he should run back or not. Pan Zi patted Hei Feng's head, and said: "Hei Feng, you don't have to go back, your father will take care of you." Pan Zi took a step forward, and shouted at Fourth Master Zhang and the others: "The person who came here is Fourth Master Zhang, Mr. Zhou? I am Pan Zi, we met once in Shanxi, do you remember me?" Fourth Master Zhang said in a deep voice: "Boy, I remember you! Is Huo Xiaoxie next to you?" Pan Zi replied: "It's Huo Xiaoxie. Hey, Fourth Master Zhang, Mr. Zhou, we haven't seen each other for several years. I didn't expect to meet here! Why have you been following us?" Fourth Master Zhang shouted: "Hehe, if you can come, of course we can too. Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, who are those friends beside you? Tell us your name!" Pan Zi scolded in a low voice: "This Fourth Master Zhang still looks like he was superior to others in Shanxi three years ago! I'm too lazy to care about you." Pan Zi cursed, still with a smile on his face, pointing to Qiao Da and Qiao Er and said: "These two sticks, one is called Qiao Da Dao, and the other is called Qiao Er Dao. You may have seen them before. The two of you are now Huo Xiaoxie's and I's apprentices! Stickers, don't say hello yet!" Mr. Zhou was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "What? Qiao Da, Qiao Er? These two are quite famous, and they are their apprentices?" Fourth Master Zhang was also puzzled, frowning. Qiao Da and Qiao Er clasped their fists together and smirked, and shouted at Fourth Master Zhang and the others: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhou, you've known your name for a long time, hahaha!" Pan Zi went on to introduce: "This Yushu Linfeng, a handsome man with a good-looking talent, a man of great talents, a master of knowledge, a dull expression, and a serious face, is named Tian Wen!" Tian Wen had no expression on his face, he just cupped his fists slightly, still standing upright. Fourth Master Zhang asked Mr. Zhou: "Tian Wen? Mr. Zhou, have you heard of this name?" Mr. Zhou said: "No. This person is probably the most powerful among these people. He takes Tian as his surname and Tuxing as his surname." Pan Zi continued to introduce with flamboyant claws: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhou, let me solemnly introduce this charming, overpowering, glamorous, gentle, kind, considerate, intelligent, virtuous and dignified beauty beside me! Her name is Lin Wan. The forest of the woods, the euphemism!" Lin Wan smiled softly, "Pan Zi, you really know how to talk nonsense." Lin Wan took a step forward, bowed profusely, and said: "Little girl Lin Wan, I have met Fourth Master Zhang and Mr. Zhou! I have long heard of the reputation of Yufeng Shenzhang. It is a great honor to see you today." Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou liked Lin Wan a little bit, and they looked at each other, feeling even more puzzled. Mr. Zhou said in a low voice, "My surname is Lin? This is Mu Xing's surname." Fourth Master Zhang said: "If what this kid Pan Zi said is true, these people are not like the Huo family's thieves. This matter is a bit strange." Fourth Master Zhang said so, but still staring at Shui Meier lying on the ground, he said loudly: "My friends, it's a pleasure to meet you! One last question, who is the woman lying on the ground?" Pan Zi put on a heavy expression, and said, "She is our partner, her name is Shui Meier, she has been poisoned and has not recovered yet." Mr. Zhou said in a low voice: "Shui Meier? This should be Shui Xing." Fourth Master Zhang called out, "Is it just you guys? Is there anyone else here?" Pan Zi replied: "Apart from us, who else can be? Mr. Zhang, we are acquaintances. Since we met, don't be so serious, okay? Sit down and talk about what happened to you just now, how about it? Don't worry, don't worry." , we don’t want to fight, and you certainly don’t want to either!” Fourth Master Zhang said in a low voice: "This brat named Pan Zi has a glib tongue and a thief face. It's hard to believe him." Mr. Zhou also whispered: "We are now in an unknown situation. They are obviously more familiar with the situation here than we are. Don't believe what he said. Let's defend the formation first. If they don't do anything, we don't want to act rashly." , what should be told to them, we might as well just say it.” Mr. Zhang nodded lightly, agreed with Mr. Zhou, raised his head and shouted: "Trust you for now! But you don't come over, and we don't go over either! We are safe and sound!" Here Lin Wan took another step forward, and said crisply: "Zhang Siye, Mr. Zhou, what did you meet outside? Can you tell me in detail?" Fourth Master Zhang snorted: "Outside there are countless crazy vines chasing us, trying to take our lives, we fled all the way and came here!" Lin Wan groaned, and asked again: "What weird thing did you touch? Like a takraw ball like a cocoon?" Fourth Master Zhang said to Mr. Zhou in a low voice: "This girl surnamed Lin knows a lot." Mr. Zhou nodded and said: "They walked in front of us, and this place is also a land of prosperity. This girl's surname is Lin, and I'm afraid she has a lot to do with this place. In my opinion, they definitely didn't mean to wait for us here, but they have been trapped Here, there is no way out." Zhang Siye shouted to Lin Wan: "Girl! You're right! It's because we accidentally touched a glowing ball made of vines that it caused the strange incident of vines chasing people. Girl, since you can guess , can you tell us what's going on?" Lin Wan snorted, looked around at Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, Tian Wen and the others, and said, "It's Muyu! The thing I was worried about happened! Now we can't move a single step. The medicine pot array can’t go anywhere.” Huo Xiaoxie looked sideways, and the tips of countless vines on the wall were still protruding out, densely packed like worms, and they would shrink back as soon as they poked their heads out.Huo Xiaoxie worried: "Will Muyan attack here?" Lin Wan said: "I can't say for sure, but the power of the wooden house is so great that our Mu family's wooden Gu stronghold can fall, so I'm afraid it won't last long here either." Lin Wan shouted to Mr. Zhang and the others: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhou, what's going on, I can't explain in a word or two. It's still safe here, but I don't know how long it can last. We won't embarrass you, I hope you don't run around, if I can find a way out, we all have a chance to live." Pan Zi came to Lin Wan's side and whispered, "Lin Wan, that Mr. Zhou is okay, but that Mr. Zhang is a bit domineering. They have been following us, taking advantage of us, and treating us like thieves. Playing like a fool! They chased here and angered Muyu, causing us a lot of trouble, and we wiped their ass? It's not me who is suspicious, I think Lin Wan, you are using some kind of drug, Turn them all over, and then tie them all into rice dumplings and tie them into a string, so as not to cause them to mess around." Pan Zi turned his head and said to Huo Xiaoxie, "Huo Xiaoxie, do you think I'm right?" Huo Xiaoxie said: "Fourth Master Zhang, Mr. Zhou, and the hook soldier are all powerful characters. The head of the Huo family is not willing to conflict with them easily. I think they are already formed in their current state, so it is not easy to fight against them." They will let us get closer. The hook soldiers are good at attacking from a distance, and it is not easy to get close. If Lin Wan fails, let them notice and start a fight. I am not afraid, but Shui Meier is not awake. It’s not worth it. Brother Tian asked, what do you think?” Tian Wen said in a deep voice, "Conflict is not appropriate." Mr. Zhang Siye and Mr. Zhou also briefly discussed whether to launch an attack in advance, and they came to the same conclusion as Tian Wen. Zhang Siye shouted: "Huo Xiaoxie, Pan Zi, my friends, even though you are thieves, I will They were catching thieves, but Huo Xiaoxie and Pan Zi rescued us once in Shanxi, which can be counted as friendship. As long as you don't plot against us, we will never touch you. We can live in peace with each other and find a way to get out of here together. .I, Zhang Si, have always kept my promises. As long as I promise to say it, it will be hard to follow! Huo Xiaoxie, I know you are also a person who keeps your promises, so you can answer on their behalf, can you do that! " Huo Xiaoxie was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at everyone, Tian Wen and Lin Wan all gave approving glances, Pan Zi said in a low voice, "I'll listen to you." Huo Xiaoxie said good-bye, and said to Fourth Master Zhang: "Fourth Master Zhang, then do as you please, we will not violate the water of the river." Fourth Master Zhang laughed and said, "Okay! Have fun! Huo Xiaoxie, if we hadn't met in such an unembarrassing place, I would rather make you my friend and have a few drinks with you." Both parties complied, reached an agreement of non-aggression, and relaxed a little. The two groups of people sat down and rested at a distance of four feet from each other.A hook soldier was seriously injured, one leg was already useless, the hook gradually moved forward, pinching the bones one by one, and then fastened it with a clamp stick. Mr. Zhang counted the number of people and let out a long sigh. There were twenty-two hook soldiers who entered the Green Vine Palace, and now only thirteen were seriously injured. More than half of them were killed or injured, and they were still defeated by the inexplicable plant vine attack. Under the circumstances, who can be blamed?The hook soldiers were all heartbroken, and some of the dead were brothers. A few hook soldiers couldn't bear it, and secretly wiped their tears. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou were heartbroken, but they couldn't say a word of comfort to each other. They mourned for a long time with the hook soldiers, and then they slowly regained their strength.Heifeng couldn't hear Fourth Master Zhang calling for it, so he stayed by Huo Xiaoxie's side all the time, not wanting to return.It's no wonder that Heifeng likes Huo Xiaoxie and the others more. Huo Xiaoxie treats Heifeng as a partner. During the three years in Jinghuo Valley, Heifeng is happy every day, free and free, and doesn't need to bite anyone. , Mr. Zhou how many times happier. Zhang Siye looked at Huo Xiaoxie for a few times, and didn't want to call Heifeng back, but whispered to Mr. Zhou: "This kid named Huo Xiaoxie, when Fengtian saw him, he was just a five-bell boy." A little thief is not popular at all. After a few years, he has the momentum of becoming a famous thief, and he can also accept Qiao Da and Qiao Er, one of the four Northeast thieves, as his disciples, which is really impressive! If he vows not to be a thief again, I am interested in letting him join Yufeng Shenchui." Mr. Zhou said: "From the first time we met, Huo Xiaoxie felt that he was not simple. He was expelled from the Huo family in Shanxi and joined the mysterious and unusual Jia Ding Yi on Guangdong Road. He must have encountered many adventures in the past few years. Diligent. I also intend to recruit him to become the God of the Wind, but it all depends on his ideas." Mr. Zhang said: "Among them, although Huo Xiaoxie is quite prestigious, it seems that the leader is not him, but the boy named Tian Wen. Mr. Zhou, who do you think they are? They are the Five Elements Thieves The king's people?" Mr. Zhou said: "I think it is. Tian Wen is from the Tu family, Lin Wan is from the Mu family, the unconscious Shui Meier is from the Shui family, Huo Xiaoxie is not from the Huo family, but his temperament is better than that of the Huo family. As for that Pan Zi, he is completely the same. The face of a profiteer may be the Jin family. Hehe, looking at it this way, there are five elements of thieves gathered here! However, these people seem to be young, and they don’t seem to be the king of thieves in the Five Elements family." Fourth Master Zhang snorted and said, "That's weird, how did these five people get together to steal the cauldron in this underground palace? Could it be that the kings of thieves acquiesced? Or is there another conspiracy?" Fourth Master Zhang and Huo Xiaoxie sat on both sides, and they didn't ask each other, the atmosphere was rather dignified. But Lin Wan took the liquid from the stone pot again and tasted it faster, and after about half an hour like this, she was still puzzled. Tian Wen couldn't help looking around, showing a bit of anxiety, when Lin Wan paused, Tian Wen asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" Lin Wanxiu frowned, and said in a low voice: "Right now, we can only confirm that human blood is the main flavor! But ordinary blood is definitely not acceptable. The variation of the green vine, radial and virtual palace is quite huge, and many factors must be considered. It is too difficult!" Huo Xiaoxie then asked: "If Muyan attacks, how long can we hold here?" Lin Wan said: "Even the Mu family don't know how powerful Muyan's attack is. If Muyan can dissolve the spiritual barrier that cracks the main vein of the mountain root, we will gather Fourth Master Zhang and the others here , and there is nothing to guard against.” Huo Xiaoxie said: "Then we are causing a miasma, will it be effective?" Lin Wan said: "I've thought about this problem, but Muyan is obviously parasitic on the root of the cracked mountain. When the miasma comes, we will all faint, and it's hard to say whether we can hurt Muyan! So don't try randomly!" This time, Huo Xiaoxie had no choice but to pin all her hopes on Lin Wan's cracking of the potion that was missing in the eight pots of medicine formation. Lin Wan said: "Don't ask anymore! I'll continue, you don't talk to me, lest I be distracted." Everyone knew that this matter was important, and they all nodded their heads in agreement, feeling a little heavy in their hearts. Fourth Master Zhang and Mr. Zhou saw Lin Wan sitting on the ground with a serious expression and kept sucking his fingers. Huo Xiaoxie and the others sat around quietly without saying a word, so they also guessed that Lin Wan was thinking of a way.Fourth master Zhang and the others had experienced the power of the wooden house, and they were surrounded by layers of vines, their lives were in Lin Wan's hands, and they didn't dare to make any noise, for fear of disturbing Lin Wan. There was silence in the open space, only the rustling of the surrounding vines could be heard, which was very frightening. Huo Xiaoxie has been watching the movement outside, his eyes and ears are sharp, and he can perceive even subtle changes in sound.Huo Xiaoxie listened and felt that something was wrong, the rustling sound was gradually decreasing, as if the movement of the vines began to slow down. Huo Xiaoxie didn't dare to be careless, after listening for a few more times, she was able to confirm the matter, she was a little happy, she turned to Tian Wen and said in a low voice: "Brother Tian Wen, I heard the rustling sound is decreasing, as if the vine's intrusion is about to stopped." Tian Wen didn't show a happy expression, and said in a low voice, "You continue." Huo Xiaoxie hummed, and continued to listen, the rustling sound decreased faster and faster, and suddenly, everything was silent, even the vines that kept protruding from the gap in the wall stopped completely. The rustling stopped completely, and everyone noticed it. Even Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhou looked at each other, and asked in a low voice, "Stopped? Could it be that we are safe?" Lin Wan paused in her hands, then raised her head, and said in a low voice, "Is Muyu not moving?" Huo Xiaoxie said joyfully: "There is really no sound! Could it be that Muyan gave up because he couldn't get in here?" Instead, Lin Wan said sadly: "It won't be so easy. The patience and tenacity of plants are the strongest among all creatures. They won't give up until they achieve their goals. I feel very bad..." Huo Xiaoxie said: "But even the vines are not moving, we..." As soon as Huo Xiaoxie said this, he heard a faint buzzing sound in his ears, as if he was coming from far to near . Huo Xiaoxie's eyes widened, and he shouted: "There is a chirping sound coming from a distance!" As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Zi also shouted: "Yes! Yes! It's a chirping sound! It's so ugly! " The buzzing became louder and louder, and soon everyone could hear it. When Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhou, and the hook soldiers heard this voice, all the hairs on their bodies stood on end. They took out their sharp knives and stood up. Lin Wan exclaimed in shock: "It's the main spirit of Muyan who has come!" The buzzing sound was almost deafening, filling the space to the brim, several white rays of light shot in from the cracks in the wall, and a group of fuzzy balls of several people tall and short had come outside the wall.This ball of light is like the one eye of a monster, spying on the prey in the open space through the gap. Huo Xiaoxie's back was icy cold, he wasn't afraid of anything tangible, but what came here was just a big ball of light, which made people terrified. Heifeng barked a few times, his claws scratched the ground, and he couldn't even scream. Everyone looked at this ball of light, no one knew what was going to happen, everyone's palms and foreheads were covered with cold sweat. This sphere of light moved slowly along the outside of the wall, as if looking for an opportunity to take advantage of it.The ball of light swam away for a while, then suddenly shrunk and disappeared invisible, and the humming stopped abruptly. Big beads of sweat rolled down Huo Xiaoxie's cheeks, and he whispered: "It's gone..." Lin Wan said tremblingly, "It's not that it's gone, it might be..." "Shusha! Rushasha! Rushasha!" The violent sound of vines moving soared into the sky, and countless vines gushed out from the place where the ball of light disappeared like a flood.This momentum was so strong that it whipped up a gust of wind and made a loud noise, almost making people unable to stand still. Lin Wan exclaimed in shock: "Muyu has broken through the spiritual barrier of the main vein, so don't leave the center of the Eight Pots!" Countless vines rushed into the open space and fell straight down in the air. Many of them became dull in an instant, but more vines took advantage of the momentum to rush in. The thick and strong roots that made up the wall were continuously drained, becoming small and fragile, and their roots were broken. , and was finally completely washed away, forming a huge hole several feet wide from top to bottom, allowing more vines to rush in crazily. In the blink of an eye, 30% of the open space was already filled with vines.Muyan never gave up, and continued to urge the vines to rush in, and those vines were like a wriggling giant wave, pressing towards Huo Xiaoxie and the others. Mr. Zhang Siye and Mr. Zhou are still struggling to cut the approaching vines, but with such a huge number of vines, manual cutting is like a drop in the bucket.Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhou, and the hook soldiers can only fight and retreat. The form is already sinister, and if they are a little slow, they will be drawn into the Tenghai. Seeing this, Lin Wan shouted loudly: "Master Zhang! Come to us! Hurry up!" When Fourth Master Zhang heard this, he didn't even think about it, and immediately shouted to retreat, and ran towards Huo Xiaoxie and the others with the hook soldiers desperately. Fourth Master Zhang's face was pale, and as soon as he entered the center of the Eight Pots, he shouted: "Are we all going to die here?" Lin Wan said loudly: "Life and death are determined by God! In the entire underground palace, only the center of these eight stone pots is the safest!" Fourth Master Zhang glanced, his eyes fell on Shui Meier's face, he was taken aback for a moment, and just about to speak, the sea of ​​vines had already swept in, how could it make people think about it.This sea of ​​vines touched the periphery of the eight stone pots, and then they broke apart with a bang, as if they had encountered an invisible and insubstantial rush.The vines bypassed the center of the eight pots, branched to the two sides, and surrounded the stone pots tightly in a blink of an eye. Tian Wen let out a low cry, and stomped hard, with such force that the square brick was cracked.Tian Wen didn't say a word, he fell down, lifted the square brick, and in his hands, two sharp tools shaped like a crescent moon appeared in his hands, and they were inserted straight down, making a rattling sound of earth and rocks, his arms were spinning and undulating like wheels, digging down . Tian Wen yelled, "Help me dig!" Huo Xiaoxie and the others understood, and Zhang Siye even went forward together. A group of people gathered around, each showing their abilities, desperately expanding the scope of the ground excavation, and helping Tian Wen to clean up the earth and rocks.Tian Wen is located in the middle, just like a spinning top, rolling out countless sand and stones from the side of his hand, and going straight to the ground. If the ground is not mixed with hard sand and stones, but just soft soil, Tian Wen's speed, a cup of tea Time, enough to drill into the ground several meters deep.Seeing Tian Wen's bravery, everyone worked with their arms rounded. When facing life and death, there was no grievance that could not be wiped away. Lin Wan silently looked at the sea of ​​vines around the stone pot, but said indifferently: "We can't get away, and it's useless to dig anywhere. With this kind of power, once the eight pots are broken, all the green vines will be controlled by Muyu. .” Huo Xiaoxie dug desperately, and hearing Lin Wan's words of giving up, she shouted, "Lin Wan! Don't be discouraged! Let's dig down, maybe there is still a way out!" Lin Wan smiled softly, and said, "Come on, everyone! The little girl is not strong enough to help you." Lin Wan turned around, stopped looking at everyone, and whispered: "If I die here, it will be considered a good one." Destination, ah, here it comes..." As soon as Lin Wan spoke, she saw several strands of vines rolling in against the ground, wrapping around Lin Wan's legs like lightning, pulling Lin Wan to the ground, and dragging Lin Wan away.Lin Wan didn't resist, let the vines drag her, and said loudly: "Huo Xiaoxie, see you in the next life!" When Huo Xiaoxie turned her head, Lin Wan was looking at her with a happy smile on her face, and she was dragged into the sea of ​​vines and disappeared.Huo Xiaoxie yelled at Lin Wan, and after a few steps, there was no time to rescue her. But Huo Xiaoxie's feet were itchy, and a force wrapped around his ankle, pulling him hard.Huo Xiaoxie looked down and saw more than a dozen vines wrapped around his legs, trying to drag him out.Huo Xiaoxie screamed wildly, cut off the vine with a knife, and shouted: "Everyone be careful, the vines are pouring in from the ground!" Then, he ran to Shui Meier, trying to drag Shui Meier to the center , but before he was lifted up, another vine struck, entangled Huo Xiaoxie's legs and feet. When Huo Xiaoxie swung his knife and cut fiercely, he saw Shui Meier get a vine wrapped around her waist and pulled it out.Huo Xiaoxie wanted to step forward to save him, but was blocked by several strands of vines, so he had to retreat. "Ah! Ah! Ah!" Screaming again and again, several hook soldiers had been dragged out of the center of the stone pot, and more vines came in strands from the ground. slash.But the ground was covered with rolling and wriggling vines almost instantly, making it difficult to get a foothold. Tian Wen's figure was like lightning, he kept chopping almost as if sticking to the ground, and the vines would snap off wherever he passed, but he saved a few people.But no matter how brave Tian Wen is, he can only protect himself temporarily in the face of the thicker and thicker vines. "Master Huo, Master Pan, the disciples are incompetent, you must live on." Huo Xiaoxie turned his head to see that Qiao Da and Qiao Er were almost half-hanging in the air, pulled out by the vines, and disappeared into the sea of ​​vines. Huo Xiaoxie screamed: "Qiao Da, Qiao Er!" Waving the flame hunting knife in his hand, it was airtight, but what could he do, he couldn't move half a step forward, and could only watch them disappear. "Huo Xiaoxie, let's be brothers in the next life!" Pan Zi's voice came immediately, and Huo Xiaoxie turned his head to see that Pan Zi's whole body was covered with vines, and he was two steps away from Huo Xiaoxie. slide over.Huo Xiaoxie let out an angry roar, and rushed forward a step, trying to grab Pan Zi's hair, but failed, and let a strand of vine wrap around his wrist instead. Huo Xiaoxie cut off the vine on his arm, and looking at Pan Zi, he was gone. In the direction where Pan Zi disappeared, Hei Feng's cry could be heard faintly from the sea of ​​vines, but after four or five calls, it fell silent. Losing his closest friends in a blink of an eye, Huo Xiaoxie's heart was pierced like a knife, his chest was so sweet that he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were red, he roared and chopped at random. Fourth Master Zhang and Mr. Zhou were equally miserable. When Pan Zi disappeared, only Fourth Master Zhang and Gou Jian were left struggling, and Mr. Zhou had disappeared.Fourth Master Zhang shouted: "Goujian! I killed the brothers!" Gou Jian laughed loudly and said, "Fourth Master Zhang, it's a joy for all the brothers to die together!" Fourth Master Zhang laughed loudly, gave up resisting, two lines of turbid tears poured out, and shouted: "Zhou Jiao, my wife! I'm coming with you!" As soon as Fourth Master Zhang gave up resisting, he was immediately dragged away. Gou gradually burst into tears, lowered his hands, and was also dragged away by the vines in the blink of an eye. Right now only Tian Wen and Huo Xiaoxie are left struggling. Huo Xiaoxie is gradually exhausted, dizzy, numb in hands and feet, and the vines show no signs of stopping.What's more, there was a sour smell gushing out from the severed vines, making him even more sluggish. Obviously, the sour smell of the vines was poisonous. Huo Xiaoxie could no longer wield the knife in his hand, and knelt down on the ground, his eyes turned black, the damned vines rushed up without losing the opportunity, immediately wrapped Huo Xiaoxie's legs tightly layer by layer, and dragged him down On the ground, drag and go. Huo Xiaoxie reluctantly raised his head, seeing that Tian Wen was still struggling alone, but he also stumbled, and his oil was exhausted.Huo Xiaoxie exhausted his last bit of strength and shouted, "Brother Tian Wen, I couldn't help you get the tripod! I'm sorry!" Tian Wen was trapped and couldn't move an inch, so he could only look apologetically at Huo Xiaoxie, and shouted: "It's me, I'm sorry!" Huo Xiaoxie chuckled, unable to struggle anymore, his eyes darkened, and he lost consciousness. In the darkness, Huo Xiaoxie dimly opened his eyes, surrounded by darkness, the whole person seemed to be floating in the void space, there was a faint light shooting from the front, which seemed to guide Huo Xiaoxie's direction. Huo Xiaoxie murmured: "Am I dead? In that ray of light, it must be Huangquan. Now that I'm dead, let's go. Brothers are waiting for me." As Huo Xiaoxie thought about it, he also automatically walked towards the light, submerged in it. The light in front of his eyes was brighter, and Huo Xiaoxie couldn't open his eyes, Huo Xiaoxie stretched out his hand to block it slightly, and then he got used to it. The light in front of his eyes gradually dimmed, but the scene was still hazy.Vaguely, Huo Xiaoxie heard two familiar voices speaking, leading him forward. The scene became clearer and clearer, and when he finally saw it clearly, Huo Xiaoxie couldn't believe his eyes. He was clearly standing in the lobby of Qingyun Inn, and there was a man and a woman sitting at the table in front of him, talking.And those two people were actually himself and Lin Wan. The scene became clearer and clearer, and when he finally saw it clearly, Huo Xiaoxie couldn't believe his eyes. He was clearly standing in the lobby of Qingyun Inn, and there was a man and a woman sitting at the table in front of him, talking.And those two people were actually himself and Lin Wan. Huo Xiaoxie was dumbfounded, the scene in front of him was both real and illusory, there was no reason at all.火小邪盯紧了坐在桌边的林婉和另一个自己，慢慢走近，一直走到近前，而他们却似乎一点都没有发现他的存在，只是自顾自的说话。 火小邪既不敢说话，也不敢伸手去触摸，痴痴呆呆的站在一旁听着。只听林婉轻声道：“火小邪，你和水王的千金水妖儿很熟吗？怎么突然叫起她的名字？” “火小邪”眉头紧皱，一句话脱口而出：“她是我的妻子。” 火小邪心中一震，水妖儿是自己妻子的事情，他忌讳颇深，绝不会轻易说出，怎么这个自己张口就说？ 火小邪怒上心头，暗骂道：“肯定是阴间的妖魔在蛊惑我！”顿时一掌向“火小邪”击去，谁知拳头从“火小邪”脑袋里穿过，如同击中了空气。 火小邪收回拳头，骂道：“幻象，都是幻象！” 桌边的“火小邪”、林婉根本不受打扰，依旧轻声交谈，两人说着说着，已经谈到了水妖儿所患的是裂心散魂症。林婉讲的详细，比在青蔓桡虚宫中的只言片语清楚了许多。 火小邪翻然醒悟，暗念道：“裂心散魂症？对了！这不是幻象，这难道是我失去的记忆？” 火小邪静下心来，老老实实的站在桌边聆听，桌边的自己和林婉讲了水王流川，讲了郑则道水火双生等等之事，全是火小邪从不记得的。火小邪更加相信，这就是自己失去的一段记忆，甚至连这件事发生的时间，都渐渐回想起来，乃是离开安河镇之后才发生的。 林婉说道：“火小邪，你会怎么样做？” “水妖儿再也不是我的妻子，我和她再无一点关系，从此当个陌路人。”“火小邪”沉沉说完，将杯中的酒一饮而尽，喝道，“痛快！” 林婉又给“火小邪”倒上一杯，柔声道：“如果你烦闷的很，有什么想说的就说吧，我会替你保密的。” “火小邪”抬头看着林婉，痴痴苦苦的一笑，再饮一杯，说道：“林婉姑娘，你知道我梦见的是什么吗？和你有关，我告诉你吧。” “火小邪”便慢慢把睡梦中水妖儿质问他是否喜欢林婉的事情讲了，林婉默默听完，才淡淡一笑，给火小邪倒满一杯，说道：“日有所思，夜有所梦，火小邪，你可否告诉我你的真心话，你到底喜不喜欢我呢？” “火小邪”抬头与林婉对视，脸涨的通红，欲言又止，突然把杯中酒一口喝了，说道：“喜欢！我在王家大院第一次见到你，就喜欢你！我这样说，你一定觉得我愧对水妖儿，但我不想骗你，我不知道我今天是怎么了，就是忍不住的想把心里话说出来！” 林婉柔声道：“不要紧，说出来就好！你说你喜欢我，我也很高兴啊。火小邪，如果我和水妖儿比，你更喜欢谁一些呢？” “火小邪”直勾勾的看着林婉，模样已不似平常，不断眨眼吞咽，脸颊嘴角微微抽动，说道：“水妖儿我是爱她敬她畏惧她，她和我在一起，我总觉得抬不起头来，总觉得她比我强了太多，她骨子里是瞧不起我。而你不同，我一想到你，就喜欢的要发狂，恨不得抱住你亲你吻你，让你时刻不要离开我。我，我今天是怎么了，你不要生气！” 站在一旁看戏的火小邪羞的简直想钻进地缝中去，他万万都不曾想过，自己曾经对林婉说过这么放肆的话。火小邪忍无可忍，大骂一声：“王八蛋你给我住嘴！我杀了你！”说着直扑上去，双拳向“火小邪”脑袋上乱砸，可毫无用处，只是在击打空气。 火小邪挥了数拳，就觉得头重脚轻，全身酸疼，跪倒在地。火小邪仍旧骂道：“这不是我！这不是我！你闭嘴啊，闭嘴！” 桌边的“火小邪”、林婉依旧如故，继续交谈。 林婉柔声道：“我不会生气的，我真的很高兴的。”说着伸出小手，一把将“火小邪”的手抓住，“火小邪”全身一震，却缩不回手，任凭林婉抓着。 林婉说道：“那你现在想抱我亲我吻我吗？” “火小邪”颤抖不已，说不出话。 林婉站起身来，走到“火小邪”身旁。“火小邪”惊的站起，连连摆手，说道：“不行不行，林婉你干什么。” 林婉上前一步，靠在“火小邪”怀中，柔声道：“我也喜欢你啊，你喜欢就抱着我吧，不要抗拒自己的心思了。” “火小邪”全身不住颤抖，却慢慢收紧了双臂，摸上了林婉的细腰。接着突然一使劲，将林婉紧紧搂在怀中。 林婉抬起头，双目含情，脸上飞起两朵红晕，更是美艳照人。林婉慢慢闭上眼睛，长长的睫毛眨动着，樱唇微启，吹气如兰，说道：“火小邪，吻我。” “火小邪”如同着魔一般，低头向林婉吻去。 一旁跪在地上的火小邪失声惊叫：“不！你不能这样！王八蛋！你疯了吗？” 可一切都晚了，“火小邪”和林婉紧紧的拥吻在一起，几乎融为一体。 就在这份无边春色中，不知多了多久，“火小邪”身子一软，松开了林婉，一骨碌跌倒在地，半睁着双眼，眼神中又是甜蜜又是惊慌，可整个人难动分毫。 火小邪见状，从羞愧中顿时清醒过来，他明显的感觉到，“火小邪”正处在半昏半醒的状态。火小邪暗念道：“林婉对我施毒了？” 林婉不住娇喘，轻咬自己的嘴唇，满面红润盛如桃花，低头看着躺倒在地的“火小邪”，轻喘道：“你的吻好热，差点让我下不了手，对不起啊火小邪，我也不想这样。” 林婉蹲下身去，摸了摸“火小邪”颈部的脉搏，说道：“刚刚好！”说着将“火小邪”摆平，揭开“火小邪”的胸前衣衫，露出他厚实的胸膛。林婉脸上又是一阵红晕泛起，轻轻啊了一声，但她手却不停，二指按在“火小邪”的心脏部位，稍微一捻，便松开了手。 火小邪已经走到跟前，只见自己胸前贴上了一片六角形的冰花，正往皮肤里渗透。 林婉侧坐在“火小邪”身旁，端详着他的面孔，低声道：“火小邪，我知道你能听到，意识也还清楚，你一定在恨我骂我，想知道这是为什么。唉，我说与你听吧，你明天一早起来，会忘掉这一切的。” 林婉大眼睛闪了闪，一行清泪流出，脆弱的如同一株小草。 林婉拭去眼泪，说道：“我们木家的女子，从小就服食各种毒物，尝便百草千味。特别是我，我爹爹对我期望甚高，所以我比一般的木家女子服用了更多毒剂，已能达成药身辨德的程度，比寻常木家女子更甚……算我在内，由于木家女子体内积累的毒素太多，到了十七八岁的时候，必须做几剂人饵服用，才能保命十五年……这是木家人的最高机密，天下没有多少人知道……再说人饵，即是中了木家饵降之人的鲜血，而且是年纪不能超过二十八岁的青壮年男子，属命中火、土、、金、水旺盛之人，不是随便哪个男人都可以的。饵降种在人身上的时机，必须是情欲难抑之时，所以我只好这样对你……而当了人饵之人，并无特异的感觉，施降之人，则需要一直跟着人饵，因为人饵随时都会成熟，少则二三天，多则数月，若错过了时机，人饵就会无效，很是麻烦。人饵成熟后，从人身上取下鲜血服用，此人少则会减十五年阳寿，重则当时毙命……所谓木家魔女放荡，四处勾搭男子，人尽可夫，取人阳精，多是因为此事，有的木家女子也很过分，以采炼人饵为乐，木家一直都是严惩不殆的……火小邪，你知道吗？当我知道我必须要做这一切才能活命，我差点自寻短见，可我爹爹含辛茹苦把我养大，我若是死了，又怎能对得起我那苦命的爹爹？我不愿伤人害人，拉住我爹爹多次钻研，终于让我找到了一个好办法，就是把饵降下到田问这种五行世家的高手身上，这样我只用一剂，便能多活十年，而且田问只减五年阳寿，绝不会致命。五行世家的高手中，能符合这种条件的少之又少，田问乃是最佳人选，可我与田问往来，他根本不为所动，从不给我一丝机会。直到我在三宝镇遇见了你火小邪……我知道你比田问更适合当我的人饵，你体质奇特，火性既纯又烈，既静又狂，说是邪火之身，又略有差别，若是成功，你不仅不减阳寿，我还能续命十五年。但是因为你体质太怪，有不可预料的因素存在，你中了饵降之后，会不会因此死了，我不得而知，这让我犹豫了很久很久，一直不愿对你动手……火小邪，你骂我也好，恨我也好，我不想骗你的感情，当你吻我的时候，我一样是真心实意的，对不起火小邪，我不愿伤害别人，却伤害了你，我不愿许多人为我所累，却让你一人承担。我以为我知晓了人间丑恶，自己就能冰清玉洁，直到今天，我才明白，我也是这世间最自私最邪恶的女人，是个彻头彻尾的魔女。” 林婉说完，低头深深看着“火小邪”，泪光荡漾，晶莹的泪珠嘀嗒嘀嗒滴在“火小邪”脸上。 林婉仔细的擦去滴在“火小邪”脸上的泪珠，收起哀伤，勉强笑了笑，说道：“火小邪，饵降有时候会有副作用，你我可能会突然间心意相通，但你不会明白为什么的，你只会当作幻觉……唉，我不该和你说这么多，但我不说出来给你听，我又会很难受。火小邪，你不会记得，这段记忆会锁在脑海的最深处，今生今时都不会想起的。” 站在一旁听林婉讲述的火小邪，此时真是感慨万千，很多林婉的事情一下子想明白了，原来他陪着田问一起来盗鼎，竟有这番深意。 “火小邪”胸前的六角冰花已经消失不见，林婉为“火小邪”整理好衣服，柔声道：“睡吧，睡吧。” 火小邪正想上前一步，却发现黑暗涌来，与林婉的距离瞬间拉远，景象也模糊起来，只在一片微光中，还能看到林婉秀美的面容。微光很快暗下去，什么都看不到了，四周伸手不见五指。 火小邪不知该往何处去，大叫道：“我在哪里？有没有人？” 随着火小邪的叫声，忽然四周一起变亮，黑暗迅速的收拢到火小邪脚下。 火小邪吓的一退，再看四周，他居然站在一间茅草房前的院子里，有淡淡的清香从茅草房里飘出，虽说简陋，庭院墙壁、窗台房檐，几乎一尘不染。院内种着一小块绿地，长满了五颜六色的花朵，盛开如手掌大小，让人喜爱。院外绿树成荫，不乏高达百丈的巨木，顶天立地一般，雀鸟叽叽喳喳在院外枝头鸣叫个不停，很是动听。 火小邪转了一圈，这里又是哪里？没有一丁点的印象。 “吱呀”院门一响，门被推开，一个齐耳短发的俏丽女子推门而入，一进来就脆生生叫道：“爹！我回来了！” 火小邪低唤一声：“林婉……” 林婉根本看不到火小邪，与他擦身而过，直往里走。 火小邪意识到这仍然在记忆之中，只是为何看不到自己？难道这是林婉的记忆不成？ 火小邪不由自主尾随着林婉，向里走去，脚步根本不受控制。 茅屋里迎出一个消瘦的男子，穿着青色长袍，一见到林婉就赶忙跪倒在地，毕恭毕敬的问候道：“少主，你回来了！木王师傅在里面等你呢。” 火小邪一看，这个跪倒在门口迎接的男人，竟是火门三关十八贼中的一个，病罐子王孝先。这个病罐子本是一张病怏怏、苍白消瘦的脸，这个时候消瘦依旧，但脸上却有了几分血色。 林婉上前扶住病罐子，笑道：“王哥哥，不要一见到我就下跪，我吃不消呢。” 病罐子呵呵呵不好意思的笑了几声，爬起来说道：“少主千万不要这么说，我能进木家跟随木王师傅，是我三生有幸。我本应是个废人，跟了师傅才觉得今生再无遗憾，少主平易善良，但我不能丢了礼数，少主要是让我见到你不下跪请安，我真的办不到啊。” 林婉笑道：“好了，好了。我知道了。” 病罐子让开路，恭恭敬敬请林婉入内，火小邪便跟在后面走入房间。 屋子不大，一厅两室，林婉进屋就熟悉的向一旁房间跑去，叫着：“爹！女儿回来了。” 内屋有清朗的笑声传出：“我的宝贝女儿，快进来。” 病罐子、林婉进了内屋，只见一张竹榻之上，盘腿坐着一个穿着翠青长袍的老者。这老者慈眉善目，头发花白，但梳的工整，留着三缕银亮的长髯，颇有仙风道骨的气质。他的肌肤平滑干爽，满面笑容时，目光清亮，在眼角略略有一些皱纹罢了。若不是他头发胡子是白色的，只看脸还看不出年纪。 林婉跑过去，唤了声爹，钻在老者的怀中，撒娇道：“爹爹，你想我了吗？” 这老者便是林婉的父亲，木王林木森。 木王抚摸着林婉的头发，一副慈爱的表情，说道：“当然想啊，爹爹我就你这一个宝贝女儿，能不想吗？” “爹爹，你的腿好点了吗？”林婉坐起身，关切的问道。 木王轻轻捶了捶腿，笑道：“好多了，最近我已经能下床缓步行走，呵呵，这十多年的老毛病，痊愈已不可能，能下地走路都是老天开眼了。” 林婉撒娇道：“爹爹又这么说，我们不需要老天开眼，爹爹的腿病一定能治好的。” 木王笑道：“呵呵，我知道婉儿最心疼爹爹，爹爹没事的，这许多年了，腿脚不便也有好处，能让我安安静静的在这里炼丹养药，要是我活蹦乱跳了，又忍不住满世界钻山探谷的采药，没个当爹的样子。所以啊，我宁肯一直治不好。婉儿，你既然回来了，向你娘亲问个好。” 木王说着，从怀中摸出一个晶莹透亮的瓷器，放在床头。 林婉退后一步，面向这个瓷瓶跪下。病罐子见状，也立即跪下，垂头肃穆。 林婉向着瓷瓶跪拜三次，说道：“娘亲，婉儿已经长大，能够出去闯荡游历了，娘亲要多多保佑婉儿。” 木王对瓷瓶柔声念道：“妻啊，你看到了吗？婉儿已经是个大姑娘了，她马上就要采炼人饵了，你一定要保佑她平安渡过此劫。” 木王收了瓷瓶，柔声道：“婉儿，坐到爹爹身边来。” 林婉乖巧的坐下，握住木王的手掌。 木王抬头对病罐子说道：“孝先，你去把那株四味雏菊端来。” 病罐子应了声是，快步离开。 木王对林婉柔声道：“婉儿，你在外游历，可遇见心仪的男子了？” 林婉羞道：“婉儿不知为何，再英俊的男子也无法让我心动，觉得外表都是一副臭皮囊罢了，偶尔见到几个像样的，稍稍接触一阵子，发现他们心里也是污秽的很。” “真的吗？你不要骗我。”木王笑道。 “除了，除了，那个土家的田问，我有那么一点……可我却看不透他，他比一块石头还硬。他的确是人饵的好人选，可他说话从来不超过五个字，而且不睡觉，动不动就钻到地下不见了，我一点下饵降的机会都没有。”林婉说着，脸上飞起两朵红晕。 “嗯，这个田问我有所耳闻，他修习的方向是土家的发丘、御岭，能够同修两种，是土家罕见的人才，土性甚旺，能用他做你的人饵，再好不过。只是土家人对木家警惕心太强，千百年都是如此，田问这个样子，也不奇怪。婉儿，我明白你不想随便采炼人饵，但你毒发的日子渐渐临近，你在人选上也不要太固执了。” “爹爹，婉儿明白的，我是爹爹唯一的亲人，我受再大的委屈，也会好好活下去的。爹爹，还有一年半的时间呢，没有到不得已的时候，再给我一段时间吧，好不好嘛。” “好！好！爹爹都依你。” “谢谢爹！”林婉搂住木王的脖子，亲热一番。 火小邪如同一个幽灵一样傻站在一旁，见林婉和木王如此父女亲情，心中一阵阵酸楚，为何自己是个孤儿，连父母是谁都不知道。 病罐子慢慢跨入，手中捧着一盆细小的植物，那植物长的也怪，茎叶细弱，遍体翠绿，在一支分叉上，长有一个拇指大小的血红色小果子。病罐子如果走的快了，稍有颤动，这个红色的小果子可能会掉落似的。 病罐子说道：“师傅、少主，四味雏菊拿来了。” 木王说道：“摆在我面前。” 病罐子小心翼翼摆上，退开一边。 火小邪看着这盆小小的植物，心中翻腾出一股子怪怪的感觉，好像那盆小植物，是自己身体的一部分似的。 林婉细细打量一番，轻轻啊了一声，抬头问道：“爹爹，这株四味雏菊竟能结果，怎么可能？” 木王说道：“我急急忙忙叫你回来，就是因为此事。你回来的刚好，这果实已经成熟了。婉儿啊，我要问你，你用的是谁的血？” 林婉说道：“是一个叫火小邪的，二年以前，火小邪在王家大院因我所累，被王兴的三姨太毒镖刺中，我帮他解了毒，顺便采了他的血。王全师哥帮我引的种，我以前没有太在意。” “火小邪……”木王喃喃道，“一个不知名的小贼，体质却很独特啊。四味雏菊是我们研究如何破解你体内毒素之用，采过万千人的血液实验，十余年了，仅有这一株得到火小邪鲜血的雏菊结出果实。火小邪很可能是比田问更合适的人饵，有可能达到你的最高要求——不做阴阳交媾之事，不减人饵的阳寿，无生死风险，还能延缓你十五年寿命。” 林婉喜道：“真能如此吗？” 木王沉声道：“可能性极大，来，婉儿，你亲自把果实取下，封一枚饵降到果实中去，一切便知。” 林婉点头应了，伸出纤纤玉指，慢慢捏上这颗血红色的小果，另一只手从腰包里摸出一把小巧的银剪刀，将小果剪下。 火小邪在一旁看着，心脏如同提到嗓子眼，竟替林婉捏了一把汗。 林婉将小果摊在手中，向木王示意，木王伸出两指，悠悠道：“好，立即封入饵降！” 林婉屏心静气，两指按上小果，微微一捻，便有一片轻薄的六角形冰片敷在小果之上。 屋内安静异常，人都如同泥雕木刻一般，盯着林婉手中的小果，眼睛都不眨一样。 冰片渐渐消融似的，渗入到小果中。那枚小果的颜色渐渐淡去，最后呈一片淡青色。 木王声音都有些发颤，低声喜道：“好！很好！八成了！” 小果的淡青色稳了一稳，突然颜色再度加重，迅速的再泛起红色，啪的一声，这枚小果居然在林婉的手中爆开了，露出里面一片败絮似的灰瓤。 “唉！”木王沉沉一声叹，说道，“败在最后二成！可惜可惜了！” 林婉将爆裂的小果放回花盆中，用丝巾擦干净了手，问道：“火小邪的血还是不行啊？” 木王微微一笑，说道：“不是不行，是很行！火小邪的血液不同一般，这做到如此，很不简单了。天下难有十全十美之事，但有这八成，火小邪成为人饵，效应你来说已经足够了，比田问绝对更好。而且，你不用与他交媾，只需让他喜欢上你，激起他的情欲便可。” 林婉说道：“火小邪还是有风险？” 木王说道：“他会有二成的风险，但这已经很低很低了，就算有风险，也只是减他五年阳寿。婉儿，爹爹我要恭喜你！你找到了一个绝佳的人饵。呵呵呵！
