C120 Step by Step

Xiao Nanfeng had been squatting here for a whole day and night, and he had almost finished all the food he had brought with him. If there was still no news from Murong Ke's side. . . Then, Xiao Nanfeng was afraid that he would have to retreat. However, if everything went smoothly, something unexpected would definitely happen within these two hours.

The Dugu family had always been very quiet. If you were in there, you wouldn't be able to sense the existence of anyone inside. Dugu Kuang always liked this kind of tranquility, because he had never cared about the affairs of the world for many years. He had long gotten used to this kind of lifestyle. Therefore, if there were any troublesome matters that disturbed him now, he would definitely feel irritated.

Xiao Nanfeng could understand his mentality, because he had once wanted to live such a life, but unfortunately, the heavens did not give him any more chances. He could have had a good family, but now it seemed like he had nothing.

Yunyun, I hope you can give me some strength in the sky so that I can have some strength. Such a lonely person can live bravely. Otherwise, I really don't know how to face the endless life that follows.

Perhaps this was Xiao Nanfeng's current state of mind. He never thought that he would be able to obtain happiness in his life. Although he was only in his twenties, he seemed to have seen through life. How could a person who saw through life obtain happiness so easily?

Who else in this world could give this lonely hero a bit of happiness? An image appeared in Xiao Nanfeng's mind. Dugu Ming was running on a large patch of grass with little melon seeds. Xiao Nanfeng was chasing behind them. This kind of life seemed to be something he yearned for very much.

But now, he wanted to personally destroy this kind of life. If it was as he had expected, then the entire Dugu family would definitely be destroyed by the martial arts world. In this way, Dugu Ming would definitely not be able to escape the responsibility. Even if he used his life to protect her, the hatred in her heart would never disappear.

The night was about to come, but the day had not yet faded. Xiao Nanfeng's eyelids dropped slightly. He seemed to be somewhat sleepy. He looked at the flowers and plants in front of him that seemed to be multiplying, but also seemed to be dancing in front of him. At this time, a sound pulled him out of his sleepiness and back to reality.

He shook his head and then woke up. Xiao Nanfeng lowered his head and listened carefully. It was the sound of a person's hurried footsteps. Xiao Nanfeng's pupils suddenly enlarged. The scene that he did not want to happen the most still happened!

He shook his hands, held the knife, and slowly stood up. He tried his best to walk forward, but it seemed like a strong wind was stopping him from moving forward. He had to use a thousand pounds of strength to move his feet.

No one in this world could feel his heart ache anymore. He would forever be a lonely prodigal. Because what he had to do now. . . To destroy your own happiness with your own hands. Xiao Nanfeng's steps were difficult, but he had no choice but to do it. This kind of thing could never be explained clearly. If you stand on this side, you must become the enemy of the other side. Just like how the Coin of Destruction only had positive and negative sides, it was impossible for there to be a neutral existence.

He slowly walked out of the fake mountain and wanted to witness the scene of Dugu Xiu coming to ask her father for help, but the scene in front of him made him very surprised. The one who came was also Dugu Kuang's daughter, but it was not Dugu Xiu, but Dugu Ming.

Dugu Ming anxiously walked to her father's bedroom and knocked on the door. The door was pushed open and Dugu Kuang calmly walked out. But when he saw his daughter's anxious expression, his expression also changed a little.

Dugu Ming did not know what she had said to Dugu Kuang. Dugu Kuang widened his eyes and an unprecedented panic appeared on his face. He hurriedly brought Dugu Ming out of the garden.

What exactly happened that made Dugu Ming so panicked? Could it be that something happened to Little melon seeds? At this time, Xiao Nanfeng was still thinking about this unknown child and was really making things difficult for him.

Sure enough, something happened to Little melon seed. However, this matter didn't seem to be a big deal to outsiders. For some reason, Little melon seeds kept screaming in pain while covering his stomach. He didn't tell him the reason even if he asked him.

After Dugu Kuang rushed over, he hurriedly pulled up his sleeve. After a round of diagnosis and treatment, Dugu Kuang also revealed a troubled expression. He turned his face and asked, "What exactly did Little melon seed eat? If they did not eat randomly, why did this pulse seem to be showing signs of being poisoned? "

Dugu Ming's heart sank. She had never thought that little melon seeds would actually be poisoned. These few days, she could not stand her big brother Dugu Xin's constant persuasion and had no choice but to return to Dugu family to arrange the marriage for Dugu Xiu. These days, she was very busy, so she didn't take care of Little melon seeds as little as she did in the past.

Until today, Dugu Ming could not understand when did she relax and cause little melon seeds to eat random things? The little melon seeds were usually very obedient and would not eat randomly. After asking, she asked. The servant girl with the little melon seeds. The maidservant was also unable to say anything.

Then what exactly was going on? Dugu Ming thought about it and suddenly thought of a time when she went to Dugu Xiu's room to find Dugu Xiu to discuss the wedding matter, so she also brought little melon seeds over.

At that time, the little melon seeds touched something in Dugu Xiu's room and made it black in one hand and there was some black sticky substance on its mouth. But these things were gone after they were washed with water. The taste was not very heavy. Dugu Ming had something like sedative, so she did not care too much.

Now that she thought about it, it also made sense. It was only at that time that she might have eaten something that she should not have eaten. Dugu Kuang's brain exploded. He said angrily, "This child might have been poisoned by the witchcraft Gu in Miaojiang!"

Dugu Ming was stunned. "How is this possible? Who would do such a vicious thing to such a young child? Could it be that there really is such a ruthless person in this world?" As she spoke, she was so anxious that she wanted to cry.

Dugu Kuang shook his head. "I also don't believe that there is such a vicious person in this world, but I see his pulse. It was caused by an insect in his stomach. Look at his expression and expression. Those insects are far more than one. It seems like. . . This must be the poison of the Witch Gu. Because it's impossible for Little Melon to find so many insects at the same time and eat them all in one bite, right? "

Dugu Ming's tears fell. She hugged her son and asked," Dad, quickly save him! "

Dugu Kuang shook his head. "Child, you don't know. Everyone uses different kinds of poisonous insects, so the corresponding antidote will not be the same. The corresponding antidote is also poison. So if you use the wrong antidote, then the person who takes the antidote will be the same as taking the poison. They will die without a doubt. "

Dugu Ming took two steps back and sat on the stool. "So, does this mean that there is no hope for Little melon seeds?"

Dugu Kuang sighed. "That may not be the case. If we can find the person who poisoned them, he must know the type of poisonous insects, which means he knows the ingredients of the medicine. In this way, Little melon seeds can still be saved. But where can we find such an unknown person now? "

Seeing Little melon seeds' twisted expression, Dugu Ming's heart was about to break. She trembled and said: "It might be younger sister. . . "

Dugu Kuang widened his eyes. "What? What did you say? How is this possible?" He muttered to himself as he pondered the possibility. " Could it be that she really created that thing according to the Poison Scripture? "

Dugu Ming asked, "What is that thing? Who is my sister? Why does she have so many poisonous insects? Since we know it's her, let's quickly go find her. "

Dugu Kuang nodded. "I think Little Melon must have eaten those things. Xiu would not harm her family. "

After saying those words, Dugu Ming felt a little uncomfortable. She remembered the poisonous wine that Yunyun drank that day. Wasn't it precisely Dugu Xiu, the one that her own younger sister prepared for Dugu Ming?

Dugu Kuang seemed to never believe that Dugu Xiu would do something that would let down her family, but whether it was an accident this time or Dugu Xiu did it intentionally. This was not important. What was important was that Dugu Xiu could tell him the formula for the antidote.

Dugu Xiu was not in the mansion. She was going to get married the next day. The day before yesterday, she still did not seem to be stable. Dugu Kuang and Dugu Ming brought little melon seeds to look for Dugu Xiu everywhere. This made Xiao Nanfeng somewhat confused. Why did they do this?

Xiao Nanfeng glanced at little melon seeds and found that his entire face was ashen. Due to excessive pain, he had fainted. Xiao Nanfeng was also shocked. What was wrong with this child? Could he have been poisoned?

He thought about how Dugu Xiu had poisoned Nameless Swordswoman and Nalan Yan to such an extent. Xiao Nanfeng immediately guessed that Dugu Xiu seemed to have done something to Little melon seeds. Otherwise, they would not have kept shouting Dugu Xiu's name.

Sure enough, Dugu Xiu had reached the point of insanity, but this scene seemed to prove another thing. Dugu Kuang did not seem to be Dugu Xiu's accomplice. Because if Dugu Xiu was his subordinate, then he would naturally be able to resolve the poison that Dugu Xiu had inflicted on him. Furthermore, if she wanted to frame the sole heir of the Dugu family, then Dugu Xiu was definitely not working for the Dugu family.

Xiao Nanfeng finally felt relieved, but he did not eliminate the suspicion of Dugu Kuang, so he did not show up immediately. It was better to wait and see. He believed that Dugu Kuang could handle this matter.

The servant at home said, "Just now, young master Narang came to our house. He said something to the second young lady, and she left in a hurry. As for where she went, I don't know. "

Dugu Ming was so anxious that she could not catch her breath. Her delicate face was flushed red. Dugu Kuang narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the door. He suddenly carried the little melon seeds and told the servant to take care of Dugu Ming before running out.

Dugu Ming wanted to chase after him but she had already fainted. Dugu Kuang knew that Dugu Xiu must have gone to that place now. Only that place would make her worry when she was about to get married.

Dugu Xiu's face did not look good at all. He did not expect such a thing to happen. What did it mean by the cave collapsing? Could it be that those martial arts masters were all crushed to death? Dugu Xiu did not believe that her goal that she had achieved with her own hands would be ruined just like that. She wanted to see it with her own eyes.

Halfway up the road, there was news that those people were not dead. Instead, they had escaped from another tunnel. Thinking of this, Dugu Xiu and Nalan Kang stopped in their tracks. Because they knew where that tunnel led to.

The road in front of Five Phoenix Brothel was still crowded with people. Apart from this building that was no longer open to the public, nothing else had changed. Nothing too shocking had happened during these past few days.

As the biggest restaurant in the Gusu City, the status of Five Phoenix Brothel had gradually become higher and higher. The number of hawkers in the surroundings had increased day by day, and the restaurants, pawn shops, and general stores on both sides of the street had also reopened.

It seemed that these people didn't care about what had happened in the Jianghu. In other words, no matter what had happened in the Jianghu, it had nothing to do with them.

However, today was an exception because something big that had never happened before would happen today. Murong Ke led the group to the end of the road. They had walked for more than ten miles. After arriving here, there was obviously no path ahead. The only path leading to the top was a passageway.

There seemed to be a big stone covering the top of the tunnel. The stone was not covered very tightly, so they could see the sunlight from the gaps. This was the first time this group of people had come into contact with sunlight since they came in. It was so warm and so bright. They could not help but fight to try the taste of the sunlight.

The passageway was as long as three people, and it was surrounded by smooth walls. They wanted to climb up. In addition, they also needed to lift the stone slab above their heads.

They did not know how heavy the stone slab was, so they all wanted to be the first to rush up. The first to rush up was the Yellow Sea Gang's Sect Master, Sha Tongtian. Sha Tongtian's martial arts were known for his hard body skills. He was the first to go up, so everyone felt at ease.

Sha Tongtian raised his hand and stretched his body. He twisted his body, and all the strength in his body seemed to be concentrated on his arms. Then, he jumped up, and his four limbs were stuck on the smooth stone wall. Then, he slowly climbed up the stone wall. His arms were very strong. So, there was no danger of falling down.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Next, they would have to see if they could move the stone slab away. The stone slab covered the cave entrance. Sha Tongtian used his feet to steady himself and used his hands to support the stone slab. His face gradually turned red, but the stone slab did not move at all.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat for him, especially Murong Ke. If he could not push open the stone slab, then this would be a dead end. If he brought them to a dead end, it would be better to leave them in the dungeon. Furthermore, the current situation was different, because he was carrying a Murong Cheng who could wake up at any time.

Once Murong Cheng acted up, the result would be unimaginable. There was a high chance that blood would flow like rivers here. Murong Ke shook his head and sighed. "Senior Sha, let's get down here first. I think this rock is very heavy. I don't think one person can move it. "

Only then did Sha Tongtian let go of his hand. He had originally thought that he would lose face, but no one had given him a way out. Murong Ke had given him a good opportunity.
