Chapter 62
Chapter 62
"The owner of Ximen was joking." The ninth son's face quickly returned to normal, with a gentle smile on his face, as if the person who turned his face like a book just now was not him: "The owner of the sword is the best in the world, except for the madman who is beyond his control. Who dares to compete with you?"
"If you don't want to compare, just get out of the way."
Gong Jiu really stepped aside a few feet, then shook his head and sighed with regret: "It's a pity, it's a pity, I can't keep such a beautiful woman, it's really embarrassing... Fortunately, my son got a few small pieces. Items, you can remember them when you are bored in the future..."
Ximen Chuuxue and Xia Yi looked at Gong Jiu at the same time when they heard the words, only to see two things suddenly appeared in his hand.
——A mutton fat white jade pendant the size of a palm, and an antique copper mirror with rhombic flowers.
The jade pendant was originally tied around Ximen Chuixue's waist, and the Linghua mirror was hidden in a secret pocket on his body by Xia Yize.
However, these two things are now in the hands of Young Master Jiu.
Both of them looked at Young Master Ninth with surprise on their faces. No one thought that this noble son and brother-like character would be as good as the king of stealing kings, Sikong Zhaixing.
Xia Yize's handsome face sank slightly, and he stretched out his hand to Young Master Ninth and said, "Give it back to me."
"No return." Young Master Jiu said: "Once the things are in my hands, they are mine. If you want to take them back, you have to win them back from me."
Xia Yi frowned and said, "What do you want to bet?"
Ninth Young Master gently rubbed his clean chin with his index finger, looked Xia Yi up and down, and said: "I know the reason why you don't want to bet with me, it's just because you are worried that I will trick you and win you with dishonorable means. One word is the most important thing about fairness, if one side uses tricks to win, then what's the fun?! So don't worry, I'm definitely using the fairest method."
After finishing speaking, he called a maid and gave such and such orders.
The maid took the order and left, and returned after a while, holding a white jade plate in her hand, on which were a white porcelain jug and two bronze wine cups with elegant shapes.
The ninth son waited for the maid to put the white jade plate on the table next to the three of them, bent down to hold the jug himself, and slowly poured out the wine to fill up the two bronze wine glasses.
As soon as the transparent liquor entered the wine glass, the bronze wine glass wall immediately turned jet black.
——The wine contained in this white porcelain flagon was obviously poisoned with terrible poison!
"The two of you should be able to see that this pot of wine is highly poisonous." Jiu Gongzi said: "Ordinary people only need to drink such a small sip, and they will die of intestinal perforation in a short time, even the god Da Luo can't save it. We Today, we will bet on who can drink more, and whoever drinks more will win. Is this a fair game?"
Ximen Fuxue's face changed slightly, and he sneered, "This is what you call a 'fair' game? Let us drink the poisoned wine you prepared? Hmph, it's really 'fair'."
With a slight movement of his right hand, he pulled out his long sword and said, "Please return our things, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."
Xia Yi hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, stared at the Ninth Young Master with a pair of black eyes and said: "If I win, the Ninth Young Master will really return the jade pendant and the Linghua mirror, and lend us a ship to go to sea?"
Ninth Young Master said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xia. Although I have no merits, I am very good at gambling. I will never go back on my bet. How about it, Mr. Xia is willing to gamble?"
Xia Yi didn't answer him, but reached out to pick up the wine glass in front of him.
Ximen Chuuxue wanted to speak, but Xia Yi stopped him with his eyes.
Ninth Young Master smiled slightly, and reached out to pick up another bronze wine glass on the table, raised his hand to his mouth and drank it down.
So Xia Yi also drank the poisoned wine in his hand, and drank it no slower than Jiu Gongzi.
The two put down their wine glasses almost at the same time, and then Jiu Gongzi took up the jug to fill them up again, and stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, "Please, Mr. Xia."
Xia Yi immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, without changing his expression at all.
Seeing this, Jiu Gongzi couldn't help but secretly startled.
As early as when he was young, his parents asked him to practice various avoidance techniques in order to prevent people from poisoning, and made him take a very small amount of poisons every day. Over time, his body naturally formed antibodies against most poisons. In case of poisoning, the onset of toxicity can be delayed, and the damage to the body caused by the poison can be reduced or even eliminated.
That's why he can drink the poisoned wine without changing his face.
But now Xia Yize in front of him can be like him. Could it be said that Xia Yize also experienced the same training when he was young?
Gong Jiuzheng was in doubt, Xia Yi had already used his right hand to show him the bottom of the cup to indicate that he had finished drinking, at the same time he stretched out his left hand to take the white porcelain jug on the table in his hand, raised his hand to fill the wine glass in his hand, and looked up. When he drank his head, he let go of his right hand, and the jug fell to the ground with a "pa" and shattered. Most of the wine inside flowed all over the ground, and immediately burned the white marble floor into an unsightly scorched black.
Xia Yi put down his glass and said: "I drank three glasses, you drank two glasses. You lost."
Gong Jiu looked at Xia Yize with a gloomy expression, a large drop of cold sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead.
Even if Xia Yi didn't break the jug, he could only drink three cups of this poisonous wine at most, and he had to take the antidote within a stick of incense after drinking the poisoned wine to completely eliminate the poison.
Now Xia Yi actually drank three cups of poisoned wine, and was still safe and sound after drinking it, which is too shocking.
Is it true that Xia Yi is not an ordinary person, but a monster?
Are there really monsters in this world? !
Xia Yi didn't look at the ugly face of the Ninth Young Master, and pinched out the finger formula with his right hand to activate the detoxification technique, and a circle of soft white light immediately glowed around his body.
Just now, as soon as the wine entered his throat, he secretly used the demon power to suppress the poisonous wine so that it would not attack immediately.
At this moment, he used the spell to detoxify in time, and the poison in the body was completely dissolved in a short while.
The Ninth Young Master was as good at gambling as he himself said, and he returned the jade pendant and Linghua mirror to Xia Yize after admitting defeat.
Then he said: "The big boat can be lent to you, but it will not be lent until three days later."
Xia Yi wondered, "Why?"
Master Jiu said: "Because I'm not happy to lend you the boat now. And when I placed the bet just now, I didn't say that if you win, I will lend you the boat immediately, so naturally I can borrow it whenever I like."
He spoke eloquently, and it sounded quite reasonable. Ximen Chuuxue and Xia Yi really couldn't think of anything to refute for a while, so they had to wait patiently for three days.
Fortunately, Jiu Gongzi didn't come out with any moths to embarrass them in these three days, and he kept his promise. After three days, he really lent them a boat that looked very strong, and even generously prepared it for them. A lot of food and fresh water, and assigned several sailors for the two to handle.
So Xia Yi boarded the ship with Ximen Chuuxue.
Until the big ship set sail, Xia Yi still couldn't believe it was true.
It all went so smoothly, so unnaturally so.
The Ninth Young Master did not make things difficult for the two of them at all, but this made Xia Yi feel a little uneasy in his heart.
But before he got on the boat, he had checked the boat carefully, and found no problems. Maybe the ninth son didn't intend to harm them, but he was just worrying about the sky, trying to judge the belly of a gentleman with a villain's heart.Xia Yi comforted herself like this.
But soon he discovered that his previous worries were not groundless.
Because innocence has changed.
It was clear that the weather was cloudless in the morning, but now suddenly the wind and clouds rose suddenly, and a storm was coming.
Xia Yize's complexion suddenly became worse than the sky, and he finally understood why Jiu Gongzi insisted on lending them the boat after three days.
——He must have calculated that there will be a big storm at sea today, so he used this method to put them to death!
Jiu Gongzi has lived on the island for a long time and knows the weather at sea very well. He must have a special way to predict the weather.
At this time, a hurricane was already blowing on the sea, and the huge waves hit one after another. The huge sea ship was devastated by the strong wind and waves, as if it had turned into a shivering leaf in the cold wind, and it might be torn apart at any time. .
At the same time, Jiu Gongzi was standing on the highest cliff of the island, looking at the dark and gloomy sky in the distance calmly, a smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth.
He has had a habit since he was a child, he must get what he likes, if he is unable to get it, then he would rather destroy it.
What's more, since they discovered this island, there are only two roads left before them: the first is to stay, and the second is to die.
Ximen Chuuxue and Xia Yi are too strong, and he thinks he has no ability to keep them, so he can simply use God's hand to destroy them.
It's just that it's a pity that two people who are so stunning, talented and dazzling are buried in the bottom of the sea.
Ninth Young Master raised his hand, poured a glass of wine in his hand at his feet as a sacrifice, then turned around and Shi Shiran walked down the cliff.
night.
The moon rises at the beginning of the month.
A long sword crossed the night sky, and stopped firmly on the cliff where Jiu Gongzi had come during the day.
There were two people standing on the long sword, one was dressed in white Ruoxue with an indifferent expression, the other was wearing a thick teal white hoodie, his handsome face was hidden under the pulled-up hat, no expression could be seen.
These two are naturally Ximen Chuuxue and Xia Yize.
Xia Yi controlled the long sword and dropped it on the cliff, feeling a little depressed.
The hurricane not long ago was so powerful that he couldn't protect the big ship with his spiritual power.
Seeing that the spiritual barrier protecting the ship was torn apart by the hurricane, Xia Yi had no choice but to pull up Ximen Chuuxue before the ship was destroyed by the hurricane. Fleeing from the raging range of the hurricane at high altitude, he escaped unharmed just now.
It's just pity for the few sailors who went to sea with them, they were all swallowed by the raging waves along with the torn ship.
Although Xia Yi intends to save them, his ability to face the power of nature is limited after all, and he can barely protect himself and Ximen Chuuxue when the crisis is imminent.
Although they didn't kill those sailors, they died for them after all, which made Xia Yi's conscience very disturbed.
Ximen Chuuxue saw that he was not feeling well, and knew why he was sad, so he said softly: "Yi Ze, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. The person who made the mistake was Young Master Jiu, who killed those few a sailor."
Xia Yi nodded, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
This Ninth Young Master took human life seriously, knowing that there would be a hurricane in the nearby waters today, and deliberately sent his subordinates to accompany him to die.
Thinking of the Jiu Gongzi's contempt for human life, Xia Yi couldn't help being furious, and decided to punish this sinful Jiu Gongzi.
This is also the biggest reason why he and Ximen Chuuxue returned to this mysterious and dangerous island.
