Chapter 1800 Water Dragon's Chant 4
Jiang Cheng said, "Back then, my friend Feng Chuanxiang and I went out to find a quiet place suitable for practicing martial arts. Although we found such a place, after I made some progress in my martial arts, I didn't make any further breakthroughs. As time went on, I couldn't help but get anxious."
"Chuanxiang saw my anxiety and kept it in mind. Later, he went out and brought back a kind of pill. When I first used it, I really broke through one after another with the help of this pill. However, after taking too much, my meridians would be a little painful when I practiced. Chuanxiang protected me many times, but then he suddenly disappeared. I quickly went out to look for him. At first, I found nothing. Later, I saw the same pill on Yang Shangqing, so I went to look for him..."
"I never expected that the pill Chuanxiang gave me to help me break through would be the Nine Hearts of the Ape Demon, which was feared twenty years ago. I don't want Chuanxiang to be misunderstood by the world, and I dare not let my current appearance tarnish the Yanmen. So I had no choice but to take the risk and kill Yang Shangqing to silence him."
This was another tragic story. Jiang Xinxin had some antidote pills on hand, so she immediately gave one to Jiang Cheng and helped him use his internal energy to quickly activate the drug's effects. After Jiang Cheng vomited a mouthful of dark blue pus and blood with a strong, foul odor, even the swelling all over his body caused by the drug's effects due to his emotional excitement dissipated.
Jiang Xinxin said regretfully, "I've also heard of Feng Chuanxiang's reputation. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would deliberately give you such an evil thing as the Nine Hearts of the Ghostly Demon Pill. So I suspect that the real Feng Chuanxiang might have already been murdered before he brought you the Nine Hearts of the Ghostly Demon Pill..."
"Or perhaps the Nine Hearts of the Ghost in your body wasn't given to you by Feng Chuanxiang, but rather you were already poisoned elsewhere, and Feng Chuanxiang had no choice but to let you continue taking it. After all, you've already experienced the pain of having your meridians reversed, and Feng Chuanxiang has seen it all."
Jiang Cheng had never thought about this question before, but after thinking about it, he felt it was very possible. After all, his friendship with Feng Chuanxiang was genuine. He didn't believe that Feng Chuanxiang could pretend for so long and be so real. So, perhaps what he thought was his best friend framing him was just a misunderstanding!
Tang Lizhi quickly stepped forward and said, "Perhaps these things have always been related to that Bliss Pavilion. Now that Young Master Jiang is in our hands, why don't we turn the tables on him?"
Jiang Xinxin readily agreed, released Jiang Cheng from his restraints, and suggested with a smile, "Young Master Jiang, I just saw that your Nine Hearts Pill has already taken effect. Why don't we pretend that I didn't have time to cure you? You should hide your whereabouts for now, hurry back to Yanmen and tell your father everything, and ask your father to come and hunt down Young Master Tang in righteous indignation."
Jiang Cheng fled first, filled with remorse. Of course, Jiang Xinxin had to cover for him in secret. However, she didn't expect that Jiang Feiyu, the leader of Yanmen, would arrive so quickly. But Jiang Xinxin brought up the old topic again. Her reputation as the Three Poison Master was still quite useful. There was still poisonous blood that Jiang Cheng had just vomited on the ground. Jiang Feiyu had no choice but to follow Jiang Xinxin's arrangements.
Zhong Chunji took the girl away and prepared to think of another way. Jiang Xinxin hid to the side, waiting for someone to walk into her trap. Tang Lizhi and Chi Yun were taken back to Yanmen by Jiang Feiyu and thrown into the dungeon. Jiang Feiyu was going to avenge his "murdered" son.
As expected, someone appeared quickly in the dead of night. It was Feng Chuanxiang, a close friend of Jiang Cheng, the young master of Yanmen. He personally came to Jiang Feiyu, the leader of Yanmen, and testified that Tang Lizhi and Chi Yun were not the ones who killed Jiang Cheng. "Uncle Jiang, Cheng somehow came into contact with the Nine Hearts of the Ghostly Demon Pill. By the time we realized it, he was already addicted. That's why he chose to stay away from Yanmen, not wanting to bring shame to Yanmen!"
The visitor was his son's best friend, so Jiang Feiyu couldn't doubt his words. Moreover, the situation inside Yanmen was somewhat complicated, so Jiang Feiyu had no choice but to release Tang Lizhi and Chi Yun for the time being.
With Feng Chuanxiang on her back, Jiang Xinxin sighed and said, "The person who came today was indeed not the real Feng Chuanxiang. I've met Feng Chuanxiang a few times; it seems he really has been murdered..."
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but burst into tears, and then told the truth: "When I ran away from home, I found that something was wrong with me, but I didn't think about evil things like the Nine Hearts of the Ghost. So, with Chuanxiang by my side, I lived in Liulian Xiaozhu and wanted to end my life."
"Back then, the two of us played chess, composed poems, and practiced swordsmanship. We lived a very happy life. Unfortunately, this didn't last long. I took the initiative to stop taking the Nine Hearts of the Demon, but I couldn't bear the consequences of this evil thing. Even though Chuanxiang protected me many times and accompanied me through the time when the drug took effect, I still felt my mind was fading away day by day. Sometimes I would even suddenly lose some memories..."
"Although I still don't know what I did during the time I lost my memory, the infamous reputation of the Nine-Hearted Demon Pill makes people avoid it like the plague. I've probably stained my hands with the blood of many innocent people..."
Jiang Feiyu dared not listen, but as an upright swordsman, he could only utter a mournful cry of "son" before choking back tears and being unable to speak.
Jiang Cheng, tears streaming down his face, was determined to take responsibility for his mistakes and continued, "Then one day, when I returned home, I saw Chuanxiang putting something in my tea. I was sad and angry, and remembering the torment I had endured, I argued with Chuanxiang and accidentally injured him. He never came back after that..."
"I don't really remember what happened back then. I only remember that I misunderstood Chuanxiang and thought he had poisoned me. So these days, I've been looking for Chuanxiang and want to find him to get some answers."
After listening to Jiang Cheng's account, Tang Lici felt a little sad, but more than that, she felt an urgent need to find Liu Yan immediately.
Zhong Chunji hadn't expected so much to have happened to Jiang Cheng and Feng Chuanxiang, and hurriedly asked, "Young Sect Master, do you have any clues about the person who initially poisoned you?"
Jiang Cheng's expression immediately became somewhat evasive, and Zhong Chunji quickly pressed on, "Young Master, you know very well how sinister and ruthless the Nine Hearts of the Gorilla Demon Pill is. If we don't quickly get rid of such people from Yanmen, won't the disciples of Yanmen be worried day and night, and even distrust each other?"
Jiang Cheng gave a bleak smile. "Miss Zhong, as you said, I was poisoned in Yanmen. Should I then suspect my fellow disciples and elders?"
Jiang Feiyu made up his mind and turned to Jiang Xinxin, saying, "Miss Jiang, you saved my son's life. I, Jiang Feiyu, will definitely repay your great kindness. In the future, no matter what demolition or relocation you may undertake, the entire Yanmen will certainly not say a word!"
As he spoke, Jiang Feiyu took out a jade pendant from his bosom, depicting a wild goose spreading its wings in the clouds, and respectfully presented it with both hands. Jiang Xinxin disregarded the promise of the Yanmen Sect and accepted the item without refusing.
