Qingfeng Xu Xu

When he was at Longyin Village, Xu Mulin saw Su Qingwu standing among the crowd in the front hall. It seemed that Su Qingwu also saw Xie Chi's last act of destroying the fan. Xu Mulin didn't want to ask more, so he excused himself:"It's getting late. , my junior brother and I still have to go on our way, so we’ll take our leave first."

"Okay, it's time for us to hit the road"

"You two are traveling all the way, please take care of yourself"

"Okay, you two gentlemen, please take care of yourself. See you later."

"See you later."Xu Qingjiu got on his horse, and after saying that, he followed Xu Mulin and left.

After Su Qingwu and Qiu Ji met, except for a few words of concern for each other at the beginning, they seemed to be absent-minded. At this time, Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu were both driving. The horse left, and Su Qingwu didn't notice it at all, still thinking about something.

"...Sister Qingwu, Sister Qingwu..."Qiu Ji screamed many times, but Su Qingwu didn't seem to hear it. Qiu Ji had no choice but to reach out and hold Su Qingwu's arm and shake it, and Su Qingwu finally came to his senses.

"What's wrong?"Su Qingwu raised his head and replied. Seeing that there were two missing people around him, he asked,"Where are the two young masters?"

"They have already left. They are going to Meizhou, which is in a different direction than us."

"I'm leaving? I have something else to ask them"

"ask them? What's going on?"

"...nothing? It's not an important matter. It's getting late. Let's hurry on."

"good."After that, Qiu Ji walked aside to pick up the horse's reins. When he lowered his head, Qiu Ji saw the letter in his lapel,"Sister Qingwu, this should be for you. When I left Xie Chi's study, I saw It was placed on the table with your name written on it, so I took it out."

Su Qingwu took the envelope. The word"Su Mu" was written on the envelope. After hesitating for a moment, Su Qingwu opened it and read it.

Mu'er

I have done many wrong things in my life, and I don't want to argue with many things, but this is the only one. I still hope you know the truth.

Du Shengyang made me take a poison in my early years, so that I had to take the medicine he gave me every month to suppress the symptoms. If I didn't take the medicine on time, the only way to do it was to practice dual cultivation. , otherwise I will die in reverse flow of Qi and blood. Back then, you overheard my conversation with Du Shengyang. Although it was not an important matter. Later, I tried my best to protect you, but I never thought that he would be so ruthless. I relaxed for a moment. I was wary and was finally plotted by him. It was also my fault that I looked down on him too much. Furthermore, I had been taking that medicine for many years, but I had neglected it so much that I didn’t realize that the medicine you gave me that month was completely useless. After that, he deliberately lured you away. , you saw that scene, and then you ran away angrily, and he finally took this opportunity to separate you and me.

The poisoning of you was definitely not my fault, I Xie Chi swear to God. Two months ago, I Only after instigating a powerful person around him did I learn what he did to you back then. Although I did not do everything myself, I was the one who caused you trouble and also harmed our child, I don’t know whether it is a boy or a girl. It's a pity that because you have a father like me, you don't even have the chance to see this world. I dare not pray that you can completely forgive me, but I only hope that if there is an afterlife, if you are willing, I will protect you. I am going to die today, just hoping to redeem some of the sins I have committed, so that in the next life, I can be innocent and see you.

Xie Chi, the last poem

"Ah Ji, do you know what medicine can make...Make people die because of their qi and blood flowing backward?"After Su Qingwu read Xie Chi's letter, many things suddenly emerged in his heart that he didn't want to believe, and he just wanted to seek more confirmation.

"Why did Sister Qingwu ask about this?"When Qiu Ji heard this, he felt very strange.

"Why, too?"

"Before you came, Mr. Xu also asked me about a medicine called 'Red Powder'. This medicine has this effect, and it will be very torturous when the poison occurs. For people who want to survive but do not have an antidote, With people...Double cultivation can temporarily alleviate the problem"

"How many times do I need to take the antidote?"

"Antidote, of course, just take it once"

"By the way, he was still lying to me."Hearing Qiu Ji's answer, Su Qingwu felt a lot more relaxed. But before he could relax completely, he heard Qiu Ji say from the side:"However, if the antidote and poison are combined into one and mixed together, then People who are poisoned will have another attack after a period of time, unless they take a complete antidote. However, if someone does this, the poison they take will accumulate in the body over time, and more and more will accumulate in the body. In the end, , maybe the normal antidote may not be effective."

"But if the antidote and poison are mixed together, won't the potency of the poison be affected?"

"The Xiangchen Sect is good at this, and I am somewhat showing off when I say this in front of Sister Qingwu. But what Sister Qingwu just said is only applicable to ordinary poisons. One characteristic of Red Powder is that the ingredients of the antidote and the poison are the same, the only difference is in the proportion, so someone will prepare the appropriate proportion to control others for their own use. I also read this many years ago from ancient books collected by my father. Because some precious medicinal materials are used in dispensing medicine, this thing is not widely circulated. Now it has been slowly lost. I don’t know where Xie Chi came from. What you find must be used to do bad things."

"Xie Chi? You said Xie Chi has the formula for this medicine?"

"Yes, Mr. Xu said that he accidentally saw it from Xie Chi"

"Can an antidote be developed if there is a formula?"

"It stands to reason that it is possible"

"So if, as you just said, too much poison has accumulated in the body, can it be cured?"

"It's possible, but the ratio and dosage may require a few more trials."

"He can make the antidote, is there no match? still...Still not in time?"Su Qingwu suddenly started talking to himself again, and then seemed to suddenly grasp a glimmer of hope,"That letter, that letter you said was written before he went to the front office?"

"Yes, when I entered his study through the window, I saw him holding the letter. When I left, I accidentally saw your name on it, so I took it out."

"That is to say, you actually didn’t see him write it, right?"

"No, he wrote it when I saw it"

"No, since I didn’t see it, it may not have been written by him."

"But I know his handwriting, and if he didn't write it, what was he doing with the letter?"

Su Qingwu had no words to argue in the face of the factual basis proposed by Qiu Ji. But in fact, how could Su Qingwu not know that what he was arguing unreasonably was nonsense. Su Qingwu just hoped that if there was an almost impossible The possibility comes true. Perhaps from now on, like Qiu Ji, he can be satisfied with getting his revenge, instead of not finding out the truth, but in the end, he just killed one person.

Qiu Ji looked at Su Qingwu standing aside He was stunned and didn't say anything. He had no idea what he had just asked. It was almost sunset. Qiu Ji was worried that something would happen if he stayed here any longer, so he wanted to urge Su Qingwu to leave first and come back when it was safe. Consider other

"Sister Qingwu, let’s go first. If there’s anything else we can talk about later? Today is already twenty, and in a few days it will be my father’s memorial day. I want to rush back to see him. If you need me to do anything later, we can go..."

"Twenty today? Su Qingwu suddenly asked,"What month is it now?""

"Yes, today is October 20th."Although Qiu Ji didn't understand why Su Qingwu asked this again, he still answered. Seeing that Su Qingwu's face became more and more shocked after getting the answer, Qiu Ji hurriedly asked,"Sister Qingwu, what happened?"

"Xie Chi..."

"Xie Chi? He is already dead. Sister Qingwu will never be seen again...."

"I want to go back to Longyin Village. Ah Ji, you go first and go back to Luo Qiugu."After saying that, Su Qingwu quickly drove away on horseback.

Qiu Ji originally wanted to chase Su Qingwu on horseback, but the horse that was docile just now suddenly started to become manic. Qiu Ji didn't react for a moment, and the horse broke away. He took the reins and ran away.

When Su Qingwu rushed back to Longyin Village, the people who had been fighting fiercely had almost dispersed at this moment. The originally festive and lively Longyin Village seemed to have experienced a looting, and it was dilapidated in the cold wind. The body was shaking. After the crowd who seemed to be fighting very brutally and with awe-inspiring justice dispersed, the only thing left was Xie Chi’s body.

"You have found the antidote for 'Red Powder', right? Why doesn't it work? Du Shengyang has controlled you for so long, why did you...Why did he just end himself so hastily? It was you who saved us from Du Shengyang before, right? Since you have so many last resort reasons, why not..."Speaking of this, Su Qingwu, who was kneeling next to Xie Chi, suddenly started to laugh. He smiled but shed tears,"It's because I will never trust you again."

That day in Qinzhou, Xie Chi immediately recognized him. After seeing Qiu Ji and Su Qingwu, Xie Chi threw the knife away to show his sincerity, using his hands to resist Su Qingwu's sword after blow of catharsis and revenge. However, Xie Chi just hoped that Su Qingwu could give him a chance to say a few words, but Su Qingwu didn’t

"Master has said that people who have been hit by the 'Red Powder' will never be affected by the drug again. So that day at the inn, you didn't feel dizzy at all, right? If those two young men hadn't come,..."

Su Qingwu saw a corner of the paper slipping out of Xie Chi's sleeve. Su Qingwu pulled out all the paper and opened it to take a closer look at the contents. On one of them, the formula of 'Red Powder' was written, and on the other, it was a letter. The letter said: Thanks to the owner of the village, based on the pills I got, I can confirm that this medicine is 'Red Powder'. , but it is not just an antidote. As you continue to take this medicine, while the symptoms of the poison are relieved, the toxicity will slowly deepen in your body. If you want to completely detoxify, Jiang needs to know that you The time to take this medicine will allow Jiang to prepare the antidote for you. This is the original antidote formula of this medicine. Jiang has prepared it for you for January, which can relieve your symptoms this month."

Su Qingwu understood every word in the letter very clearly, but he was still stunned by the words on the letter. After a long time, he said:"'Confusion of Gods' will not be fatal so quickly, even if it cannot be taken on time. Giving an antidote will only make people faint and be trapped in nightmares...When I first encountered that incident, I was twenty. This is how long you have been suffering, right? You didn't take the antidote. If that's the case, why did you take the poison I gave Qiu Ji? to make us feel...Happy and comfortable? Feel like you finally got your revenge? But since you have done this, why do you still want me to know the truth?"Su Qingwu asked questions one after another, but he answered the question himself:"If I didn't prepare the medicine, if I didn't know that the medicine was not fatal, if I didn't accidentally learn that you were controlled by Du Shengyang because of 'Red Dispersion' , if it weren’t for the fact that I came back and knew that you actually had a chance to detoxify, you would have really lied to me, right? if...If I had listened to you that day, wouldn't you have decided so quickly to end your life on a day that is not your birthday? What was your original plan? Reveal Du Shengyang in front of everyone? At most, it would be a fight to the death with him. If I hadn't pursued you so relentlessly, wouldn't you have done it today?"

"Xie Chi, when Du Shengyang killed me, it was not just because of what you thought. 'Red Powder' was originally a secret medicine that could only be mastered by the leader of the Xiangchen Sect. When the master founded the sect, he hated all men in the world and wanted to use this medicine to punish and control men. Du Shengyang was one of them, until Later, I don’t know how he escaped from the master’s control. Du Shengyang has been controlled by the master for nearly twenty years. I have seen him go crazy after being tortured by 'Red San' more than once. Maybe he killed me because of this, or maybe he thought I was familiar with 'Red San' and was worried that I could help you get rid of him, but at that time I didn't know the restriction between you and him. My master raised me from an early age and treated me like her own daughter. However, she never told me anything related to the 'Red Powder'. I had rebelled against the Xiangchen Sect for many years, and when I returned, my master had already passed away. To this day , I finally knew everything about 'Red San'."Su Qingwu sat there blankly, muttering like this, as if he was just trying to explain his true intentions to the people in front of him.

"Ah Chi, our child, as you wish, is a daughter. It's just that when Lord Qiugu saved me, it was already too late. Ah Chi, you didn’t kill our child. Ah Chi, I don’t want you to die. I saw what you said about sorry, but..."

"But he is dead, but he killed my father and everyone in the valley, so he should die."Qiu Ji lost his horse and had to use a running horse. Fortunately, he bought the horse from a person before running far. When Qiu Ji rushed to Longyin Manor, he thought there was still chaos in the manor, so he was careful outside. After observing, he came in cautiously and saw Su Qingwu in the front hall from a distance. However, Su Qingwu was completely immersed in his own emotions and didn't even notice Qiu Ji standing behind him.

Su Qingwu turned around and looked at Qiu Ji with a look of disapproval on his face. own dissatisfaction

"Did you see Xie Chi kill Lord Qiu Gu with his own hands? Didn't you hear what Xie Chi said in the front hall? you..."Perhaps out of resentment towards himself, Su Qingwu actually questioned Qiu Ji, but Su Qingwu suddenly remembered Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu who had left in a hurry, and finally understood their intentions. I am afraid they already understood the whole story of today's conflict. He understood that Xie Chi intended to die, and understood that what happened in Luo Qiugu was not caused by Xie Chi at all. Because he saw the joy of Su Qingwu and Qiu Ji having their revenge, they couldn't bear to see the excitement of the two of them having to face the truth in the blink of an eye, so I just found an excuse to leave first.

"I didn't see it with my own eyes. The front hall was too noisy before. Although I didn't listen very carefully, Xie Chi himself admitted it when we were in the study, so what else is there to say?"

Su Qingwu knew that Xie Chi was involved in that matter, but I'm afraid he didn't do it himself, but Xie Chi probably felt that everything was inseparable from him, just like the loss of a child, although it was not done by Xie Chi , but Xie Chi was the beginning, so he felt that everything was his fault alone. Looking at Qiu Ji's appearance, Su Qingwu didn't know whether he should let Qiu Ji understand the facts like himself or just leave it like this.

"I'm sorry, but this matter is over. I know you still have feelings for Xie Chi, but I personally asked Xie Chi to take the medicine. It has nothing to do with you. If you feel that killing Xie Chi will make you...If you regret it, then you can put the blame on me. I liked him, but I loved my father even more. I don’t regret killing him. If you want to find a solution for his death, come to Luoqiu Valley to find me."After saying that, Qiu Ji turned around and left resolutely.

Seeing Qiu Ji leave, Su Qingwu also had an answer in his heart. Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu chose to hide the truth from Su Qingwu and Qiu Ji, but in the end it was Su Qingwu who chose to see what happened.. As for Qiu Ji, if one day Qiu Ji chooses to face and find the truth, maybe Su Qingwu can tell her what she knows, but in any case, it is not right now to tell Qiu Ji everything. , forcing Qiu Ji to accept the new truth.
