Volume 2: A sudden change in the prison, a red-clothed man goes out to find a thief Chapter 155: Li Si is still just a young man when it comes to the past
Li Si leaned against the window and looked at the confused Taoist for a while, then helplessly put the book in his hand aside and said.
"But you should know that I am seriously ill now, and I am afraid there are many things I cannot help you with."
"I know you're having a lot of trouble right now."
When Li Si's health was mentioned, the confused Taoist stopped laughing and talking nonsense for once. Instead, he frowned and looked at Li Si seriously.
"But this matter is urgent and quite difficult, so I have no choice but to come to you for help."
As the former head of the Shengku Hall of the Demon Cult, the main reason why Jiang Shengming was able to make a great name for himself in the martial arts world was the strange poison in his hand that could kill people in seven steps.
Even the reason why he was able to escape the imperial court's round-up was due to his strange poison.
And if it comes to dealing with people who use poison, then there should be no one in the world who is more suitable than Li Si, at least the confused Taoist knows this. Because the skills that Li Si practiced made him almost immune to all poisons.
Without that strange poison, Jiang Shengming was just a famous master who was good at using hidden weapons and was not difficult to deal with.
I’m afraid there are other connections behind him.
Seeing the confused Taoist looking as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Li Si frowned slightly. He had never seen this man act like this before.
"What is it? Tell me now."
The confused Taoist looked around and saw that only Shu Hu Nu was standing in the yard next door, so he came up to Li Si and said.
"This matter concerns the Demonic Cult."
…
In the flower pavilion of Baihua Valley, Hua Junjun sat beside the pavilion, looking at the sea of flowers in the valley while drinking a cup of tea in his hand.
After listening to the confused Taoist explaining the whole story, she frowned slightly and said:
"Li Si is my patient now. He cannot leave the valley until his illness is cured."
“But Master Hua.” Confused Taoist bowed his head, sighed and said, “If the Demon Cult really makes a comeback, the martial arts world will probably be in chaos again…”
Hua Junjun glanced at the confused Taoist calmly and put down the teacup in his hand.
"You, the eighteen famous masters of Wudang Mountain, can't deal with Jiang Shengming? Even if you can't deal with him, there are more than just Li Si in the world who have the means to detoxify."
"That's true, but..." The confused Taoist was speechless after hearing what Hua Junjun said. Most Taoists in Wudang Mountain were like this. They were always less eloquent when dealing with women.
Li Si stood aside with his hands folded, wearing a cloak. The weather had not yet warmed up completely, and he had no way to take off the cloak.
After the Confused Taoist explained everything to him, he took the Confused Taoist to find Hua Junjun.
After all, this was in the territory of Baihua Valley. If he wanted to go out of the valley to do something, he felt it necessary to inform Hua Junjun.
But what he didn't expect was that Hua Junjun would refuse so directly.
In fact, if this matter is really of great importance, he wouldn't mind helping.
"I'll be back after I've dealt with Jiang Shengming. It won't take too long, so you don't have to worry."
After thinking it over for a while, Li Si looked at Hua Junjun and spoke.
Hua Junjun glanced at him, and after a while, turned his head away.
"Who's worried about you? I'm just afraid that you'll die on the way and ruin the reputation of our Baihua Valley."
Seeing that Hua Junjun seemed to have loosened up a little, the confused Taoist hurriedly spoke.
"I promise that as long as I am still here, I will not let Mr. Li get hurt in the slightest."
"If you can guarantee that, you won't come to find him." Hua Junjun tilted his head to look outside the valley and directly exposed the empty words of the confused Taoist.
"Hehe, haha, what Master Hua said is true. I have said stupid things again." The confused Taoist could only laugh twice, stood there awkwardly, and cast a look for help towards Li Si.
Li Si silently cast a helpless look. Neither of them was good at dealing with women.
Perhaps sensing their private conversation, Hua Junjun finally sighed and said with his back to Li Si.
"But if Li Si wants to go, you can take him with you. I can't control him anyway."
Her tone seemed a little lonely.
Just as she said, she couldn't make decisions .
Moreover, she is not an unreasonable person. If the evil cult really reappears, it is understandable for Li Si to go and help.
The confused Taoist was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and bowed and said.
"Thank you, Hanaya, for your t-shirt."
As he said this, he looked at Li Si, turned around silently, and walked down the valley.
Hua Junjun turned his back to the two of them, slowly lowered his eyes, and sat alone in the pavilion in silence.
She had only one hope, that Li Si would not enter the Hundred Flowers Valley unconscious again.
Li Si didn't know, and no one knew. Ten years ago, when Dugu Bufu carried him into the mountains, Hua Junjun didn't sleep for three days and three nights before he saved him from the brink of death.
Li Si was unconscious at that time, so he had never seen Hua Junjun crying while she was cooking medicine.
She had never let Li Si see these, nor had she ever told him about them.
All Li Si could see was her calm and gentle appearance, just as she always was.
This also made Li Si never realize how much he owed her.
…
On the mountain road, the confused Taoist rode Zhuifeng and hurried on the road, while Li Si and Shu Hunu each rode a horse beside him.
Oddly enough, this donkey called the Wind Chaser is not much slower than a horse when it runs, and sometimes it is even faster.
Li Si read the letter from the mountain gate given to him by the confused Taoist priest, and tried to understand the background of the man named Jiang Shengming.
To be honest, he didn't know much about the Demon Cult. After all, when he left the mountain, the Demon Cult had long disappeared.
But maybe the old monk knows something, and I can ask him when the time comes.
Speaking of the old monk, Li Si's face showed a faint smile again. It has been a year since he last saw him. It is time to go find him and listen to some sutras.
Since learning that Li Si was ill, the old monk had not recited the Sutra of Rebirth to him in recent years, but instead recited the Sutra of Transmigration. As for the reason, Li Si did not ask, anyway, no matter what sutra he listened to, it was just listening to it for him.
Shu Hunu was carrying a large bag on her back. When she knew that Li Si was going on a long journey, she immediately prepared a large bag of clothes.
During this
Li Si and his group went out of the mountains to look for the traces of the Demon Cult.
What they didn't know was that at the same time, the people from the Demon Cult were also looking for someone.
