Chapter 226: The Cross-dressing Giant! Diao Chan's Blood Curse!
Sima Yi slipped back to Chang'an and reviewed his response, but still felt a little unsafe.
"As soon as I got there, someone knocked on my door and almost caught me red-handed... How could such a coincidence happen in the world!"
Although the person who came might be going to deal with Green Robe, Green Robe has never left the valley in the past few days. How could outsiders know that there was a big demon hiding in the valley?
Anyway, Sima Yi didn't believe in coincidences, and didn't dare to take chances.
He came into this world ten years ago. So many guys who tried to act recklessly have died. The pawns sent by An Wuji were almost all wiped out, and the people from his homeland sent by the Blood Evil Saint also died. The only reason he could live well until now is because he was steady and cautious enough.
Sima Yi's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he thought:
"If that person came for me...
"To know that I would be at that place and at that time, could this person have the ability to deduce the mysteries of heaven?
"The most troublesome thing now is that it is still unclear whether the man is targeting 'Magic Brush Ma Liang' or me, Sima Yi!"
Although he was not caught in the act, if that person really had the ability to deduce the secrets of heaven and calculated that he would appear there, then even if he slipped away at the first opportunity, his collusion with Green Robe would probably be exposed.
"Ma Liang, the Magic Brush, has no enemies, let alone enemies that powerful. My true identity has never been exposed, so it stands to reason that no one would deliberately target me. But since the incident has already happened, no matter how incredible or unreasonable it is, I must not harbor any hope and must prepare for the worst!"
The only thing to be thankful for is that his actions towards Diao Chan and letting Lu Pao dig out his heart and swallow it on the spot should be able to mislead visitors and make them mistakenly believe that Diao Chan is Lu Pao's blood food.
If the person who comes is a man, it would be a ready-made "hero saving the beauty". With Diao Chan's beauty and intelligence, there is a 90% chance that she can seduce that man.
If the visitor was a woman, and saw that Lu Pao was eating human hearts raw and leaving a woman as "reserve food", she would also be indignant towards Lu Pao and feel pity for Diao Chan.
In short, Diao Chan’s identity is unlikely to be exposed - and there is no possibility of it being exposed. Except for a very small number of intruders from later generations, how many people in this world know who Diao Chan is?
They didn't even know who Diao Chan was, let alone know that she was a chess piece cast by the Blood Evil Saint.
Even the green robe is in trouble.
However, the Green Robe Patriarch was unruly and hated by gods and ghosts, so it would not be a big deal if he died.
Being able to contribute to concealing Diao Chan's identity with his life, it can be said that his death was worthy.
"As long as Diao Chan's identity is not exposed, she will have a chance to make a comeback... As for me, no matter who raided the valley and what their purpose is, the magic brush Ma Liang cannot appear in Chang'an for the time being!"
With this thought in mind, Sima Yi directly drew a door, walked to the outside of the Demon Suppression Office, straightened his clothes, walked into the office and asked for leave, saying that he was going to the South China Sea to sketch, observe the giant beast that appeared in the South China Sea in the legend, and enrich his material library.
He joined the Demon Suppression Division as a guest official and had relatively free movement. Nothing major had happened in the past few days, so there was naturally no problem with taking leave.
After leaving the message "Ma Liang, the master of the magic brush, has gone to the South China Sea" at the Demon Suppression Division, Sima Yi left the Demon Suppression Division and turned deep into an alley. Seeing that there was no one around, he drew another door and this time went directly to a secret safe house in the West Market of Chang'an.
He came to the closet, opened the door, pondered for a while, and took out a set of women's tights.
Although Sima was once mocked by Zhuge Liang by being given women's clothing, he had never worn women's clothing before.
But this time, for safety reasons, he really wanted to wear women's clothes.
“Those who achieve great things do not pay attention to small details!”
Sima encouraged himself, quickly changed into women's clothes, and used the magic pen to draw a few strokes on his face. In a blink of an eye, he turned into a pretty female knight.
Not only is his figure and appearance the same as a woman's, but his feminine temperament and charming eyes are also no different from those of a woman.
“I am Lu Wuxia, the daughter of Lu Zhong, the leader of the Nanyang Tiankui Sect… ahem! I am Lu Wuxia, the daughter of the leader of the Nanyang Tiankui Sect… ahem! I am…”
After rehearsing several times and adjusting the sound to sound flawless, Sima Yi nodded with satisfaction, put on his back a long sword, picked up a pen to draw a door, went directly to the outside of Chang'an City, entered Chang'an through the city gate, and went straight to the Demon Suppression Division.
From now on, she is Lu Wuxia, the daughter of the leader of the Nanyang Tiankui Sect.
Because of the failure in the struggle in the martial arts world, the leader of the Tiankui sect, Lu Zhong, was forced to leave Nanyang with a few disciples. On the way, they encountered a demon and all the members were killed. Only Lu Wuxia managed to escape.
Upon hearing that the Qin Dynasty had set up the Demon Suppression Division to eliminate the demons that harm people, he came to Chang'an with a heart of revenge, intending to join the Demon Suppression Division and avenge his father and fellow disciples.
The deeds are true, and the identity is true.
The leader of the Nanyang Tiankui Sect was indeed forced to leave Nanyang a month ago and wanted to defect to the Qin Dynasty. Unfortunately, he was killed by Sima Yi on the way, and everyone became his blood food, including Lu Wuxia.
Now, Sima Yi has to borrow Lu Wuxia's identity and continue to stay in the Demon Suppression Division to observe Ni Kun.
The reason why the identity of Lu Wuxia was chosen was, firstly, because he was handled by Sima Yi himself and his identity was guaranteed.
The second reason is that Lu Wuxia is just a minor character and only has a slight reputation in Nanyang. Not many people in the martial arts world know her, so disguising herself as her is relatively safe.
In fact, if possible, Sima Yi really wanted to leave Chang'an and go to the border to avoid the limelight for a few years.
Unfortunately, the mission of the Blood Demon Saint cannot be fooled. Even if there are still risks in staying in Chang'an, Sima Yi can only take the risk.
Besides, he still couldn't believe that he could be targeted even though he had dressed up as a woman.
Finally, he had another intention, which was to find out who was targeting him - whoever went to the Demon Suppression Division to inquire about the whereabouts of "Ma Liang's Magic Brush" was most likely the person who raided the valley, or that person's subordinates.
Although there was a great possibility that Diao Chan would fall into that person's hands, and there was a chance that the identity of that person would be known from Diao Chan afterwards, Sima Yi's core military strategy before he met Zhuge Liang was just four words: speed is the essence of war.
If you want to achieve speed, the timeliness of intelligence is extremely important, and you must personally obtain first-hand intelligence as soon as possible.
What's more, Diao Chan's mind was somewhat unstable, and Sima Yi could not fully trust her.
What if she had some bad intentions? Even if she couldn't betray him, she could just deliberately mislead him a little. Wouldn't the consequences be unimaginable?
Although Sima Yi was steady and cautious enough, and his series of actions could definitely be described as smart and decisive, he was ultimately at a complete disadvantage in terms of information.
He didn't know that it was Ni Kun who raided the valley. And not only his identity, but also Diao Chan's identity, and even their relationship with the Blood Demon Saint, were all completely known by Ni Kun.
No matter who Sima Yi disguised himself as, if Ni Kun wanted to tell fortunes about him, he could just use his fundamental identity "Three Kingdoms Warriors Sima Yi" to lock down his whereabouts.
Just when Sima Yi re-entered Chang'an under the identity of Lu Wuxia and took refuge in the Demon Suppression Division.
Deep in the Zhongnan Mountains, in a secluded valley.
Diao Chan has regained consciousness, but did not open her eyes immediately. She continued to pretend to be unconscious, sensing her own condition while listening to the movements around her.
There seemed to be something wrong with his condition, as if he was tied up and hung up.
And the binding and suspension posture is very wrong!
Diao Chan secretly felt something was wrong and tried to use her true energy, but she found that the "ropes" that bound her could actually absorb and devour her true energy. Once she activated her true energy, before it could be moved to her limbs, it was already swallowed up by the "ropes" that tightly bound her neck, chest, and limbs.
Not only was she unable to mobilize her true Qi, but even her physical strength was being slowly consumed, leaving her limbs feeling limp and a feeling of unprecedented weakness.
Realizing this, Diao Chan naturally felt that "I am the fish on the chopping board and others are the butchers".
Of course, she was an extraordinary woman who had done great things.
Although the current situation seemed very bad, she did not panic.
He continued to pretend to be unconscious, listening to the noises around him, trying to figure out who had caught him.
Finally, she heard someone in front of her say:
"Hey, she seems to be awake."
This is a female voice, and it sounds very youthful and lively.
So, it was a young girl who tied me up like this?
Do girls also have such twisted hobbies?
Diao Chan felt a little strange, but at the same time she felt a little relieved.
If she were a girl, no matter how weird her hobbies were, I think they wouldn't be worse than those of the Green Robe Patriarch, right?
However, at this moment, a male voice was heard again:
"Is she awake? I see she's not moving!"
Although the male voice sounded gentle and charming, giving people a sense of affinity and intimacy, Diao Chan's mood, which had just relaxed a little, suddenly sank and tensed.
If it was a man, tying her up like this would be a bit bad...
But why does this male voice sound a little familiar?
While I was thinking, I heard the female voice say:
"Although she didn't move, the vine just absorbed a wave of true energy. It must be because she was secretly using her true energy."
"Is that so?" The man groaned, and footsteps sounded. From the sound, it seemed that he was walking towards her.
Diao Chan was feeling uneasy. She was in this suspended position with her hands above her head and her legs hanging in the air, just like a child holding his bladder...
If the clothes on her body were not still on, all her secrets would be revealed to the other person.
And if the other party wanted to do anything to her, she didn't need to adjust her posture. She could just walk over and push aside the hem of her dress and break into the formation directly.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Diao Chan finally couldn't bear it anymore. She blinked her long eyelashes gently and slowly opened her eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, a familiar face that he had seen in the portrait painted by Sima Yi came into view.
It’s actually Ni Kun!
Diao Chan's heart trembled, but her face remained calm, revealing only a trace of pitiful weakness and confusion:
"W-where am I?"
Ni Kun paused and admired Diao Chan, who was suspended by Tsunade with vines and tortoise shells. His eyes wandered over her curvaceous and graceful figure, and admired her long, straight legs and delicate, jade-like feet. Then he said leisurely:
"Don't worry girl, you are safe now."
"Is it safe?" Diao Chan blinked, lowered her head to look at the vines that were tightly tied around her chest, abdomen, and hips. With panic in her eyes, she timidly asked, "Sir, what do you mean by this? Why did you tie me up like this?"
Ni Kun said seriously:
"The girl is so beautiful, like a goddess descending from heaven. After all, I am a young man full of vigor and vitality, and I am afraid that I will be distracted by passion and do something beastly to her. That is why I tied her up like this to prevent me from doing something unspeakable to her."
“…”
Diao Chan felt suffocated and thought to herself, if she really wanted to prevent herself from doing something beastly, shouldn't she just tie herself up?
Tying me up like this actually makes it easier for you to do your job, right?
He forced a smile:
"Young Master really loves to joke..."
"I'm not joking. I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart." Ni Kun said seriously, "To be honest, from the first moment I saw the girl, I had already made up my mind to take her for myself. But the girl just fainted. Although I'm lustful, I don't want to take advantage of her, so I had to tie her up to restrain myself."
“…”
Diao Chan suffocated again.
No matter how clever she was, she didn't know how to deal with a guy like Ni Kun who didn't play by the rules. She could only change the subject:
"Sir, that old demon who captured me..."
"Don't worry, girl. He is dead." Ni Kun smiled.
"Is he dead?" Diao Chan was surprised and happy: "Thank you for saving me, sir. Otherwise, I would have been killed by that old devil and eaten alive by him..."
Like Sima Yi, Diao Chan has not yet realized that her identity has been discovered by Ni Kun. She still regards herself as the "victim" of the Green Robe Patriarch and implies that Ni Kun has achieved the achievement of "a hero saving a beauty."
Since I'm a hero and I'm awake now, shouldn't you let me down and talk to me properly?
However, Ni Kun seemed not to understand her hint and laughed:
"How do you plan to repay me for saving your life? Let me make it clear first. I don't ask for an afterlife, I only want this life. So don't ask me to work like a cow or a horse in the next life, or to repay you with a favor."
“…”
Diao Chan's eyes widened slightly, her mouth slightly opened, and she looked surprised.
Aren't you a hero who is righteous and unconcerned about fame and fortune?
How can you threaten to repay a favor when you didn't even boast about saving the world?
Faced with this weirdo, Diao Chan felt exhausted. Then she thought that Sima Yi wanted to send her to Ni Kun to use his beauty trap, so she decided to just give up:
"Then I will pledge myself to you?"
Ni Kun laughed and suddenly changed his expression:
"Miss, you are underestimating me, aren't you? I am not such a casual person."
So what exactly do you want to do?
Diao Chan's mentality exploded instantly. She was so tired that she no longer wanted to wrong herself. She sighed and said:
"I am not a good person, so please kill me. It will be good for both you and me."
Ni Kun raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do you have to give up on yourself like this, girl?"
Diao Chan shook her head slightly, closed her eyes, raised her slender neck, and murmured:
"What else can I do if I don't give up on myself? I can't see the future, life is so tiring..."
Hearing her melancholy tone and seeing her gloomy expression, Tsunade, who had been watching the show happily, couldn't help but be infected by her frustrated mood. With a look of pity on her face, she gently pulled Ni Kun's sleeve:
"Ni Kun, please stop torturing her like this. She looks so pitiful."
Diao Chan's charm was too strong. She gave up her disguise and showed her true feelings. Her emotions were so contagious that Tsunade couldn't resist it at all.
However, Ni Kun has experienced thousands of tribulations and has an iron will.
In his sea of consciousness, there was the golden Buddha of the Amitabha Sutra. Even though Diao Chan was extremely emotional, he remained calm. Instead, he took advantage of the moment when Diao Chan's mentality collapsed, her will to die emerged, and her mental defenses were gone. He formed a seal with his hands and shouted in a deep voice, "Duh!"
As the seal came out, an invisible force pressed down on Diao Chan.
In an instant, Diao Chan lost all five senses. She could no longer feel any color, light, smell, or sound. Even her thinking came to a standstill. She was no longer aware of her own existence.
This is the Great Thousand Seal of the "Present Tathagata Sutra", which can suppress the universe and make people fall into a state of absolute silence without thoughts, feelings or knowledge.
And in this state, the only active force is some power that does not belong to Diao Chan herself.
Under the suppression of the "Da Qian Seal", Diao Chan in Ni Kun's vision has turned into a "gray-white statue", with only a clear blood line entwined between Diao Chan's eyebrows.
It is the "Blood Curse" used by the Blood Evil Saint to control the chess pieces!
