Chapter 24 Wei Wuji

The flames engulfed the village, and Ying Zifei felt inexplicably sad deep in his heart.

The fragility of life really makes people speechless!

The fire gradually became smaller until it was extinguished. Ying Zifei drew his sword and swung it three times in a row.

Amid the rumbling sound, the ruins of the mountain village began to collapse. When the dust settled, the place looked like a tomb.

There is no monument or name, just like the deaths of those people, silent and silent.

Ah Fu piled the dead bandits together and came to Ying Zifei. Ying Zifei took a look at the corpses and walked down the mountain.

"Let's go, Ah Fu. Someone will come to collect their bodies."

The two men went down the mountain, got on the carriage and left.

……

Daliang City, the current capital of Wei State, is prosperous and worthy of being the capital of a country.

A luxurious carriage entered Daliang City, and the equally luxurious carriages coming and going were the best cover.

After entering the city, the carriage went straight to the luxurious inn, one of the three famous restaurants in the city.

Money is a good thing. When you spend money, someone will clean the carriage and feed the horses.

After paying for a luxurious private room in this luxurious inn and washing up, Ying Zifei and Ah Fu ate and drank leisurely.

"Sir, is this mask really made of human skin?" Ah Fu touched his cheek and was surprised. His face and temperament had changed.

"If it really is human skin, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable wearing it?" Ying Zifei rolled his eyes. Human skin mask is just a general term.

Luowang is indeed an ancient force, and they have almost perfected their skills in this area.

After the two men put on their masks, unless one had reached a certain level of skill, it would be impossible to tell their true faces.

"Sir, I think it would be helpful to have a few more faces as a backup. They are essential for traveling around the world and robbing houses."

Ah Fu was in high spirits, and his mind was crooked. Ying Zifei's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly: "I do want it, but I have to give it to you, right?"

"That is to say, I now have the power to control part of the Luowang mobilization, so I can get this thing."

"This is one of the foundations of their survival. Giving them two masks is a great honor."

What is a good thing? It is something that is small in quantity but effective.

Trying to break up Luowang is a temptation, but Ying Zifei doesn't want to provoke some people at this time.

The technology of this mask is just like what has been researched or is being researched in his secret bases. If other forces dare to covet it, they must kill people.

Until you have the strength to overturn the table, it is best for everyone to respect the existing rules.

After eating and drinking, Ying Zifei asked Ah Fu to contact the secret base of Heibingtai in Daliang City. He left the inn and strolled around Daliang City.

In a magnificent mansion, the warmth of the charcoal fire dispelled the chilly breeze.

In the pavilion, chessboard and fine wine were placed, and two people were kneeling and playing chess.

A man was dressed in bright and luxurious clothes, but his face looked tired and sad.

The man was dressed in plain clothes and had a head full of white hair, but he looked like a child and looked energetic.

In contrast, the ages of the two seem to be reversed.

After making a move and drinking the wine in the cup, Wei Wuji said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to come out again."

The old man opposite Wei Wuji heard this and smiled, saying, "After all, I am unwilling to give in. If you sit quietly on a green mountain but your mind is not at peace, it is difficult to ask for the truth." "It is said that fame, wealth and honor are like floating clouds, but how many people in the world can't escape it?"

Wei Wuji picked up the wine pot and poured wine. They drank another cup. After putting down the wine cup, Wei Wuji said: "Just be open-minded and follow the right path."

"You are luckier than me. You can do whatever you want without any hindrance."

The old man looked at Wei Wuji, whose spirit was exhausted and looked like a candle that was about to go out, and sighed softly: "God has his destiny, and people have their choices. Even today, is he still so afraid of you?"

Wei Wuji smiled bitterly and sighed: "Once upon a time, I thought I could use the sword in my hand to cut off the path of my destiny."

"At that time, I always thought that the world was so big that I could travel freely."

"But it wasn't until today that I realized that people like me don't even have the right to choose how to die."

Hearing this, the old man subconsciously sat up straight, frowned and said: "Isn't it enough to treat you like a tiger and trap you in Xinling fiefdom?"

Wei Wuji drank another glass of wine and said with an inexplicable emotion: "A tiger trapped in the forest, the slightest movement scares the birds in the forest."

As he spoke, Wei Wuji showed a sad look on his face, and said bitterly: "If I could choose a way to die, I would die at the hands of someone I consider an enemy."

"At least a death like this can make my end seem more legendary."

He pointed to his heart, and said in an inexplicably calm tone: "Someone carefully planted the Baiyue poison here. By the time I discovered it, it was already too late."

The old man felt inexplicably sad when he heard this. The man in front of him shouldn't have ended up like this.

"With your power, is there no way to detoxify?"

Wei Wuji shook his head, his expression became calmer, and he said, "This poison has no name. It is an evolution of a medicinal bathing regimen of the Baiyue people."

"Every Baiyue poison expert will constantly adjust the medicine based on this recipe, slowly evolving it into a difficult-to-solve poison."

"Whoever uses the medicine can cure it, because if the steps or the type of medicine used are slightly different, it will be a different poison."

"The person who poisoned me was already dead when he used up the last dose of the medicine."

The old man was somewhat shocked at this time and said: "Weren't the people of the Baiyue lineage wiped out back then?"

Back then, many people suffered great losses because of the peculiar properties of this poison.

It can be said that once a poison master uses his methods to poison people, he can adjust the toxicity according to the differences of each person.

The fear of being controlled by others made many forces unite together to wipe out the Baiyue force.

"There are always some that slip through the net." Wei Wuji shook his head and said, "Some people will covet things like this. Maybe that force was indeed destroyed back then, but the inheritance may not have been destroyed."

"It's not surprising that something that involves the secrets of bloodline power is coveted by others."

The old man sighed and nodded. Yes, some things are destined to be coveted by some people.

"Haha, that's enough. There's no need for us to pursue secrets in this regard."

Wei Wuji, who had become somewhat carefree, poured more wine and said with a smile: "I, Wei Wuji, have left some traces after all, haven't I?"

Being carefree was just a disguise, and the smile was even more of a cover-up. The old man did not expose Wei Wuji's performance, and the two continued to drink and play chess.

"I thought the first hurdle for me to break through would be in Wei State, but knowing your situation, Wei State is not the best place to break through."

As the old man was talking while placing chess pieces, Wei Wuji nodded slightly and chuckled, "Although Wei is not the best place to break the deadlock, Qin introduced paper, which made all parties want to destroy it out of fear."

"This will help convince some people."
