The Legend of the Condor Heroes: I became one of the Five Great Masters by drawing cards

The middle-aged woman who came in last obviously didn't react in time. The rope around her waist pulled her, causing her feet to lose stability and she almost fell.

She managed to steady herself and kneel down, and when she wanted to look up to wish him a happy birthday, she was already half a beat too late.

Before she could finish her birthday greetings, the Child-Fairy of Tianshan frowned and snorted coldly.

This snort frightened the woman so much that cold sweat broke out on her forehead and neck, and her whole body was shaking like a sieve.

"Which cave or island is this cowardly bastard from? He looks strange to me, is he new here?"

Lan Jian said respectfully, "Your Excellency, Sister Fu, the leader of the Yangtian tribe, has reported that this person is Xin Shuangqing, formerly the head of the Western Sect of the Wuliang Sword of Dali. Now that the Wuliang Sword has been taken under its wing, the two sects have merged into the Wuliang Cave, with her as the cave master."

Sending the Shennong Gang to subdue the Wuliang Sword was an order personally given by Tong Lao. There was one extra person among the nine people on duty, so how could she not guess her identity?

"Is this the kind of person the new cave master is?"

As early as on the way up the mountain, Xin Shuangqing had learned from Sikong Xuan and others that this master had a cruel and violent temperament. Although his eyes were wrapped in black cloth and he could not see him with his own eyes, he was still scared to death.

"Junior. Please spare my life, please spare my life!"

She was so confused that she couldn't speak clearly. She just kowtowed repeatedly until her forehead was bruised.

"Useless," Tianshan Child-Grandma said coldly, picking up the teacup. "Stop kowtow, you're killing me with noise. Shut up and kneel down!"

Xin Shuangqing didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief. He forced himself to stand up straight, but suddenly he felt a chill in the Tianshu point on his left abdomen, followed by a stabbing pain.

This feeling is over.
Her heart sank, as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head.

Sikong Xuan and others even told her about Tong Lao's temperament, so how could they not mention this most terrifying life and death talisman?
In just a moment, waves of numbness, itching and pain came over her, as if she were stung by bees and bitten by thousands of ants, causing her to moan unconsciously.

The other island masters and cave masters on duty had all experienced this torture. At this moment, they felt both sympathy and fear. They all lowered their heads and dared not even breathe.

Especially Sikong Xuan. Four "honorable envoys" disappeared for no reason while he was on duty. Although he was not blamed at the time, it is still unknown whether he will have a share of the antidote to the life and death talisman this year.

Tianshan Tonglao threw out a life and death talisman and stopped talking. In the huge hall, only Xin Shuangqing's voice echoed.

In just a moment, the man rolled to the ground, and his unbearable groans turned into screams, which made people's scalps numb.

It was not the first time that the four girls, Mei, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, had seen this scene. They stood aside with their heads hung, but their faces were slightly pale, and it was not difficult to see that they were uneasy.

Mu Nianci had seen it clearly before. The piece of ice was as thin as a cicada's wing and sparkled brightly. It was obviously a life and death talisman.

Although she had used this trick before, it was to punish the Jin soldiers who took advantage of their power to bully others. Now Xin Shuangqing obviously had no grudge against her master, and the shrill wails made her feel unbearable.

When the Child-Fairy of Tianshan saw her hesitant look, her expression remained unchanged, without any sign of emotion.

"Plum Sword."

After about a cup of tea, she greeted him lightly.

Mei Jian was slightly startled when he heard the voice, raised his head, and showed a little surprise.

Every cave owner or island owner who comes for the first time has to endure the intimidation of having a life and death talisman planted on them. They often have to endure it for an incense stick of time before the master will call them to feed them an antidote.

Why did you give the order so quickly today?
Xin Shuangqing was naturally unaware of this. After taking a pill, the severe itching and pain were relieved immediately, but he was still limp as mud, and his clothes were all wet, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

Mei Jian stood up and asked loudly, "Xin Shuangqing, do you know what the Lord has rewarded you with?"

"Life and Death Talisman."

Tong Lao chuckled: "Humph, it seems that these idiots have told you. Grandma asks you again, do you know the origin of the name of this life and death talisman?"

Sikong Xuan and others could not help but be horrified, but fortunately the old evil star did not seem to be angry about this.

Xin Shuangqing reluctantly knelt down and said weakly, "Life is worse than death." "This is the fate of those who dare to betray grandma in the future. You will neither be able to live nor die!"

"I dare not. I absolutely dare not."

"It's better this way. Remember, what you suffered today is just the tip of the iceberg."

The Tianshan Child-Fairy's tone was gloomy, and the sound alone was enough to make people shudder.

"Once this life-and-death talisman strikes, it becomes more severe each day. The extreme itching and pain will increase for 9981 days, then gradually subside. After 81 days, the pain will increase again, and this cycle will repeat endlessly."

"Every year, the Lord sends us to patrol the caves and islands, giving us painkillers and itching relievers to ensure that this life-death talisman won't appear within a year."

Tong Lao gave Mei Jian a look, and he understood, then continued speaking.

"You only need to work hard for the Vulture Palace and be loyal to the Lord, and you will naturally be able to live a worry-free life."

"Thank you, grandma. Thank you, aunt. Your Excellency."

Tong Lao ignored her and shouted again.

"Sikong Xuan!"

"Little people."

Sikong Xuan trembled all over, crawled forward half a step, and kowtowed firmly.

"You're good, good."

Tong Lao suddenly smiled, her smile was kind and without any anger in it.

Sikong Xuan was struck by lightning, and just like Xin Shuangqing had done before, he kowtowed repeatedly.

According to his experience in past years, if he was scolded, the harsher the scolding, the more peaceful the year would be. But if this old villain was as kind as she was at this moment, it would be extremely dangerous.

Even if you are lucky enough not to die, you will at least lose half of your life.

Mei Jian asked coldly, "It's not enough that you've delayed such a trivial matter as taming Wuliang Sword for so long, but you've also caused the whereabouts of four sisters in the palace to remain unknown. What crime should you be held responsible for?"

Sure enough, I couldn’t dodge it!

Sikong Xuan’s face instantly turned as pale as paper and he kowtowed repeatedly.

"Grandmother, please understand! I was only following orders that day and was absolutely not negligent. I really don't know why the four envoys disappeared! Please have mercy! Please have mercy!"

"Give me some mercy?" Tong Lao said with a playful look, "Then I'll spare you the antidote for your life and death talisman this year, how about that?"

How is this a mercy?
Although Sikong Xuan had a bad premonition long ago, he still found it hard to accept when the time came.

"Grandma"

Tong Lao's laughter suddenly stopped, and her voice instantly became as cold as ice: "Grandma, when is it your turn to bargain?"

Sikong Xuan trembled all over, as if he had lost all his strength, and collapsed to the ground.

"Sikong Xuan is sorry for you, old lady, I just beg you to give me a good time."

The other cave masters and island masters were all silent, so frightened that one could hear a pin drop in the hall.

They are struggling to save themselves, so how can they have the courage to meddle in other people's affairs?
But no one expected that when he was completely desperate, Tong Lao suddenly changed her tone. (End of this chapter)
