Chapter 221 [Devil's medicine, control people's hearts]
Twenty years have passed since ancient times, and the world has changed unpredictably. Looking back, it may be another era.
The old man with a sling-headed beggar face held the little flower, and his whole body seemed to be in a nightmare. His eyes were a little dull and he murmured. After a long time, he said in a daze: "Yes, twenty years have passed."
For the sake of his philosophy and pursuit, he left his hometown for twenty years without realizing it.
In twenty years, the sea may turn into mulberry fields. Now, the unknown continent thousands of miles away, the old man really cannot determine what the situation is in his hometown.
The bearded guest looked rough, but his mind was extremely smart. He watched the old man's expression coldly, and suddenly a kind of brilliant flashed through his tiger's eyes.
He spoke again and said in a tone that was almost tempting: "Twenty years have passed, and perhaps the Central Plains have been no longer wars. Maybe the Li family has already built a country and created a prosperous era of singing and dancing, the people have enough food and clothing, and they never want to fight again..."
As he stopped, he immediately said: "The people do not want to fight, how can the Hidden Sect rebel? You cannot rebel in chaos, how can you seize the world? You cannot seize the world. Your pursuit is just a waste!"
These words are linked one by one, and every sentence directly points to the idea that the old man pursues throughout his life will become empty, but seeing that the old man's eyes are blurred and dispersed, his deep eyes gradually become ashes.
"If the Central Plains have become peaceful, how can I still cause trouble in the world..."
The old man held the little flower in both hands, murmured and murmured, and then said, "Since you can't mess with the world, how can I seize my luck like a dragon? My lifelong pursuit is to become an immortal. Is it always a dream bubble?"
As he spoke, the old man gradually showed a lonely look on his face, and the lonely color became heavier and heavier, and slowly became as depressed as dead.
The smarter the wise man from ancient times to the present, the more he is, the more likely he is to fall into a stubborn position. This old man can escape overseas for twenty years for a stubborn person with a paranoid personality.
Once the pursuit is shattered, such people are most likely to go to extremes.
The bright colors in the eyes of the bearded guest continued to shine, and he continued to say induce words. Seeing that the old man's face became more and more gray, the bearded guest finally revealed the purpose of his speech and encouraged him: "Wen Zhongzi, your pursuit is over. Since the Hidden Sect has no pursuit, it is better to die."
"Yes, it's better to die!"
The old man seemed to be really tempted and his eyes became more distracted and confused. But when he saw him slowly reaching his hand into his arms, he took out an exquisite bottle from his arms, and murmured: "Since you can't become an immortal, go to Huangquan and walk there. In the next life, you may be able to regenerate plants and trees, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and fight for another battle."
"Die, die, go and practice in the next life!" The bearded guest's eyes flashed and he kept seducing him from the side.
The old man slowly opened the bottle and was about to pour it into his mouth.
"etc……"
The bearded guest suddenly spoke again, his tone with some depression and excitement, and said, "Before you die, you should do another thing. You should untie my strange poison so that I can transport your body back to your hometown."
"right!"
The old man nodded as if he was hypnotized and said, "I should untie your strange poison and let you transport my body back to your hometown..."
He said as he slowly raised his hand, handed the delicate bottle in his hand to the bearded guest, and said in a leisurely tone: "Take it, this is the antidote."
All of this seemed to be extremely perfect.
However, the bearded guest's eyes suddenly sterned and he blurted out: "This is not an antidote at all. I saw you poisoning him to death..."
As he said that, he suddenly realized, looked at the old man in shock and said, "Are you pretending just now? You are not in confusion."
Sure enough, there was no trace of confusion in the old man's eyes, but when he saw him smiling, holding up the delicate bottle, he said to the bearded guest in a faint tone: "This is the second time. I hope there will be no third time. If it is only three times, you will die after three. You will only have the last chance."
The bearded guest's eyes dimmed instantly, and his tone was faint and smiled bitterly: "I still underestimated you, I forgot that you know how to play with people's hearts best."
The old man suddenly threw the exquisite bottle away and said leisurely: "Since you have not succeeded, then continue to do things for me. The peerless poison has been found, so let's go back to Middle-earth immediately."
The bearded guest frowned and said in a deep voice: "Are you still thinking about turmoilizing the Central Plains?"
The old man smiled and said lightly: "I want to seize the world."
The bearded guest frowned again and suddenly said, "Do you think it can be successful?"
The old man looked at him and asked calmly, "Can you not give up yet and want to continue to tempt me to seek death..."
The bearded guest shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You just said that there are only three things. I will not be so stupid as to waste my last chance. I sincerely give you advice and hope you will give up the impossible."
"Is that?" the old man smiled slowly.
The bearded guest Zheng nodded and said in a deep voice: "When your Hidden Gate left the Central Plains, it was also when Li Yuanba broke into the Purple Gold Mountain with two horses and hammers. That man was the god of killing the god of killing the Tianbao general. He killed the three hammers and rushed into the millions of troops to sweep it. When you Hidden Gate saw it, you decided to stop the battle..."
The old man still smiled casually and encouraged him, "Continue and talk."
The bearded guest took a deep breath. He knew that he could not persuade the old man at this time, but he still made his last effort and said solemnly: "Have you ever thought that the retreat of the Yinmen means that the Li family will seize the country. Without you, the 18th anti-king kings, how can the anti-kings withstand the Li family's army? Now twenty years have passed, maybe the Central Plains have already established a new dynasty. Even if you find the peerless poison, how much effect can you take back the Central Plains?"
"Haha, have you finished speaking?" The old man still smiled slowly.
The bearded guest slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said solemnly: "I'm done."
"Since you've finished speaking, then prepare to set off and return."
This was clearly not a word, and the old man's paranoid personality was evident.
The bearded guest smiled bitterly again. He had actually guessed that it would be like this.
He smiled bitterly and became disappointed, and his disappointment turned into despair. He suddenly roared and shouted loudly: "You are all madmen, you should all die. If you can become immortals, God is really blind."
This sudden furiousness made me scary.
He is already burly and his anger is even more powerful.
However, the old man still looked leisurely and smiled faintly: "I am worthy of being the Three Masters of Fengchen. I still can't get rid of your spirit after twenty years of torture. It's great, very good. If I want to return to my hometown and cause trouble in the world, I need to fight against all directions."
"Pooh!"
The bearded guest spitted heavily and gritted his teeth and said, "Go back when you go back. I have lived enough. I hope to meet Li Yuanba after I go back. It is best to let him kill me with one hammer. From now on, I will never have to shake my tail and beg for mercy. I will live under the control of your poison."
As he said that, he glared at the old man again and cursed fiercely: "You don't have to laugh so leisurely. I hope you will be killed by Li Yuanba."
"Hahaha!"
The old man didn't care about his curses, but slowly took out another small bottle from his arms.
As soon as the bottle was taken out, the bearded guest's pupils suddenly shrank.
He seemed very afraid and eager. His throat kept rolling, and suddenly he let out a beast-like roar, roaring: "Give it to me, give it to me, give him to me."
"Hahaha!"
The old man laughed loudly and threw the bottle to the bearded guest.
The bearded guest held it in his hand, and opened it without thinking. The bottle was a kind of powder, which the bearded guest greedily swallowed.
Although he swallowed greedily, his tiger's eyes rolled in tears, and he suddenly crushed the empty bottle, causing an extremely depressed sob in his mouth.
I was a majestic man just now, so where is there a little heroism at this time?
The old man looked at him with a smile and asked, "How does it feel when you are addicted?"
The bearded guest looked up at the sky, letting the tears of the two lines of heroes roll and roll.
This man like an iron tower murmured and said like a nightmare: "How does it taste? It's so heartless! I can't live without this devil's medicine..."
The old man reached out and patted his shoulder and said lightly: "Don't be sad, I can't live without it!"
The bearded guest looked at the sky dejectedly.
But the old man spoke again and said, "Now do you understand why I have the confidence to mess with the world?"
The bearded guest nodded and said with resentment: "This devil's medicine tortures people's hearts. As long as it is infected, it is irresistible. With it in hand, it will be invincible. If you can control some big figures, you can indeed cause trouble to the Central Plains again."
Speaking of this, he seemed a little unwilling to accept it, and suddenly said, "But the big guys don't know that it's so easy to control. At least you must be qualified to deceive them first."
The old man suddenly pointed his hand at himself and asked, "Who is me?"
The bearded guest was slightly stunned and subconsciously replied: "You are known as the wise man of the Hidden Sect."
"In addition to the wise man of Hidden Sect, I have an identity on the surface. Unfortunately, you have followed me for twenty years and have never asked who I am. In your heart, I am a villain who enslaved you with poison, but in the eyes of others, I am a saint-like existence."
The bearded guest was even more stunned.
The old man looked at him with a deep meaning, and suddenly smiled and began to introduce himself, saying, "My name is Wang Tong, and his name is Wen Zhongzi. People do not know my identity in Hidden Sect, but only know that I am a well-educated scholar. I taught knowledge in Shanxi and cultivated more than a thousand peaches and plums. Fang Qiao studied for me, Du Keming was my personal, Wei Xuancheng was my disciple, and Li Yaoshi was my disciple. In addition, there were Chen Shuda, Li Mi, Li Shiji, Zhang Xuansu, and Wen Daya..."
He said the names one by one, and the face of the bearded guest became increasingly ugly. After a long time, the bearded guest suddenly spoke and murmured: "I remember these people are all supported by the Li family. If the Li family really has the power to dominate..."
This fierce man whose mind was controlled by the devil's medicine suddenly shivered.
The old man smiled and said, "If the Li family really has a great position, they will be important officials in the court! And I, I, are their mentors."
The bearded guest shivered again and said with fear: "You, the teacher of your teaching, suddenly appeared. Wouldn't their important officials be happy? You are still happy and you will not doubt your malice."
"How can it be said to be malicious? I just gave them the medicine of immortals."
"You are the devil's medicine!" The bearded guest was trembling all over.
If those people become him, then Zhongyuan may really be in war again.
The old man slowly put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "I have the elixir to control people's hearts, and I will definitely make the Central Plains in chaos again. Now I have found the poison that has lost strength. The Li family's God of War is no longer a threat. Let's set off and return to our hometown."
"No!"
The bearded guest suddenly roared and said with fear, "We can't go back."
