Chapter 177: The Opponent's Stronghold

Nie Shusheng watched Xiao Qing whip mercilessly, his eyes full of horror. Seeing that Xiao Qing's whip was less than three feet away from him, with the momentum of thunder, he was almost out of his body with fright. In an instant, his eyes were empty, and the whole person seemed to be in a vacuum.

Xiao Qing's whip did not hesitate, and fell directly. It's just that it didn't hit Nie Shusheng's body, but hit the ground next to him. Less than three inches away from Nie Shusheng.

The whole room shook with the power of the Awakening Whip. And Xiao Qing even had her hair flying, looking extremely amazing.

Nie Shusheng came back to his senses from the shock at this time. saw himself lying on the ground, and Xiao Qing stood beside him with a dark whip in his hand. Nie Shusheng was very surprised and wanted to stand up, but there was no place in his body that did not hurt. Move a little, as if it's about to fall apart.

"What is this for? What's wrong? Li Yu, where are you?"

Nie Shusheng asked Li Yu in front of him in a low and hoarse voice, only to find that his voice had become different.

Mo Ke also walked up at this time and helped Mr. Nie to get up. Together with Xiao Qing, he helped Nie Shusheng to the house and sat down.

"What do you remember, sir?"

Xiao Qing helped Nie Shusheng sit down, poured a glass of water for Mr., and asked softly.

"I remember I went to buy medicine, how did you get here? Why are you here?"

"Did you meet someone when you went to buy medicine?"

"Oh, by the way, I saw the man with the monkey's cheeks, and he disappeared in a flash. I chased a few steps but couldn't catch up, and thenβ€”I don't seem to remember what happened. ”

In the end, Nie Shusheng couldn't believe it, and his voice became slower and slower.

"Sir, sit down first, and I'll show you. ”

Xiao Qing was afraid that the coercion of the Awakening Whip would cause some harm to Mr. Nie. I didn't feel at ease, so I asked Mo Ke to protect the Dharma and use the repair chapter by myself to read the whole thing to Nie Shusheng.

Xiao Qing felt very fortunate that Mr. Nie was indeed injured by Gang Qi. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and Xiao Qing ran slightly for three weeks before repairing the damage. However, Mr. Nie's spirit was still not good, he had no strength in his body, and he was still sore. Xiao Qing thought that this was probably the sequelae of being controlled.

"Sir, have a good rest, if you think of something, find someone to tell me! But there is no hurry, when the gentleman goes, he also wants me to go with him, so as not to get hurt. ”

"Li Yu, am I being tampered with again, or is it something else?"

"What do you think, sir?"

Xiao Qing didn't answer, but asked Nie Shusheng instead, Xiao Qing had the answer in her heart, but she also wanted to hear Mr. Nie's own opinion.

"It's not the same as last time. Last time I believed it was I felt it. Everything else was fine, and there was nothing I didn't remember. This time, there seems to be a large blank space, and I think it's the latter. ”

"I think so too, but what kind of spell is this, does Mr. know? Is it Gu poison?"

"It's not poison, if it's Gu, it's possible. ”

"Sir, isn't there a kind of Gu that sucks people's blood through Gu worms, and controlling Gu worms can control the people who are sucked?"

"You're saying that Gu isn't in the human body?"

"Yes!"

"If there really is, then this Gu worm must also be an existence like a Gu King. It was not easy to cultivate such a Gu King. ”

Nie Shusheng thought carefully and thought again, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Besides, this Gu should have been fed with this person's blood all the time. to be able to leave the host's body. If you talk about control, you should not be too far away from the person who is controlled. Otherwise, it shouldn't have much effect. ”

"You say it's not too far, how far should it be?"

"I don't think it's more than a few hundred steps. But I still don't think it's very likely. ”

"What do you think, sir, are they controlling you?"

At this time, there were footsteps outside the door, and the footsteps were very hurried, and it was obvious that they were running all the way.

"Madame Jade, Iron Maiden has asked you to come over and say that there is something important. ”

"Sir, you take a rest first, and I'll go back as soon as I go. By the way, I'll send Yumei to bring a few people to protect you in a while. You don't walk around. ”

"Okay, send a few more people, and watch me a little bit, lest I do anything weird. Alas, how can I always be used and controlled by others?"

Xiao Qing could understand Mr. Nie's current frustration and annoyance. After a few words of comfort, the people who came out and followed went directly to the front living room.

Before entering the living room, Xiao Qing saw Tie Ning fidgeting back and forth in the hall.

"Li Bing, our people found that a few strange people went to the pharmacy to buy a lot of centipede scorpions and other medicinal materials. It looked suspicious, so he quietly followed, and found that there were many of them, in the deep mountains not far from the village. Someone saw that there seemed to be a person with a sharp-beaked monkey gills, who looked very much like Di Yunshan's junior brother, but he didn't dare to startle the snake, so he hurriedly came back to tell him. ”

"Sure enough, it's not far, I'll go in person. ”

"I've ordered someone, and I'll be ready to go right away. ”

"No, too many people won't solve the problem. I'll just take the people I have brought. You are here, looking at Wuwei Gongzi and Mr. Nie. Leave more guards and good hands around them. If there is any place where they can't get out, if they can't do it, they will be locked up first, just in case. ”

"Is it that serious?"

"Yes! Tie Ning, you must pay attention, they are now controlled, if they are taken captive, or go crazy, and use a knife to kill their own people, what will you do?"

Tie Ning also became serious at this moment, it was indeed a serious problem. Nodding firmly.

"Okay, I know what to do, and I do have a place. You have to be careful, too. ”

Xiao Qing nodded, and ran to the gang's stronghold non-stop.

Xiao Qing was just about to get on the horse when he was stopped by Mo Ke. Before Xiao Qing could react, Mo Ke put his arm around Xiao Qing's waist and took her to his horse.

"From the time we arrived at noon, until now, you have hardly been idle for a moment, and you have not even drunk a sip of water. Now the sun has set outside. And you're still in a state of tension. Just now, he also dispatched the awakening whip and showed Mr. Nie his injuries. If it's really the other party's stronghold, the other party will definitely have a lot of powerful characters. You rest with me for a while, and I'll carry you there. ”

Mo Ke was thinking about Xiao Qing all the time. Think Moke is also one of the best characters in the rivers and lakes. Now that he meets Xiao Qing, he has almost been reduced to the role of a follower or housekeeper. Now he cares about Xiao Qing in every detail. Xiao Qing's heart warmed.

Xiao Qing leaned on his arms, perhaps because he had something to rely on, and he suddenly felt tired. Therefore, he did not shirk and relied on Moke. There is indeed a feeling of lethargy.

Mo Ke held the reins in both hands and controlled Xiao Qing firmly in his arms. In Mo Ke's heart, being able to let her get a moment of rest is also the biggest harvest and happiness at this moment.

That stronghold was not very far from the village, and it was less than two quarters of an hour away. In order not to startle the snake, Mo Ke and the others got off the horse early and prepared to sneak over. Xiao Qing had just taken a nap, and Mo Ke couldn't bear to call her up. directly hugged Xiao Qing and flew off the horse.

In fact, as soon as Mo Ke moved, Xiao Qing woke up. Xiao Qing quietly raised his head and saw Mo Ke hugging him with a serious face. Embark on light work and gallop across the woodland, but his arms are steady.

"Are you tired, let me down!"

"You're awake, rest a little longer!"

"I'm afraid that you will have to fight a tough battle for a while, and you also have to preserve your strength. Just took a nap and it's already a lot better. ”

Xiao Qing and Mo Ke took the lead and quietly lurked over. Sure enough, this is a stronghold. There were sentry posts from a long distance, and they were very hidden. Fortunately, it was Xiao Qing who led the team, and Xiao Qing easily pulled out these sentry posts with his keen senses that were beyond ordinary people. If others are afraid that it will be difficult to find the sentry, they will also be discovered by the other party.

Xiao Qing and Mo Ke lay on the higher slopes, looking at the stronghold in the col below. When he arrived here, Xiao Qing found that there were as many as one or two hundred people here. These people are dressed very specially. Many of them are colorful and look very eye-catching. However, there were many people who wore the same light blue robes. It seems that these people, dressed in pale blue robes, have a higher status.

Soon Xiao Qing found that the entire col seemed to be divided into several areas, one by one. There are several places on the outermost part, where there are noticeably no people and no buildings. But Xiao Qing inexplicably felt that there was a lot of breath there. Xiao Qing was a little puzzled at first, but then Xiao Qing figured it out. There should be all kinds of poisonous insects there. It appears to be a pit dug in the ground. Judging by the breath, the pit should be large and deep.

Xiao Qing saw a person carrying a basket in his hand, seemingly aimlessly circling around the entire outskirts of the col, that is, near the pit. It took a long time to turn around before turning to the outermost place. It seems to keep throwing something into the pit, and then it goes on. Finally, carrying the empty basket, he turned around a long time and turned to the place where he had gathered.

When he went back and walked around, Xiao Qing understood that the aisle between the pits and the pits looked ordinary. It shouldn't be that simple. Either there is a trap or it triggers. It seems that if people who don't understand go in blindly, I'm afraid they will die in an instant. You can't get to the heart at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qing looked in the middle again. A little further in, there were several places where they should have lived. There are dozens of tents. Those in pale blue robes walked back and forth inside. These tents are enclosed, and in the very center of the place, there are several simple rooms. It is obviously inhabited by people of higher status. People in and out of the place were dressed in pale blue robes. Those colorful people are not close here at all.

Xiao Qing didn't blindly go in, but kept observing nearby. Xiao Qing found that many people hurriedly entered the middle room, and then hurried out. But all very quiet, not chaotic at all.

Suddenly, Xiao Qing's eyes lit up, and she saw the person with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks. There is only one arm. He also wears a pale blue robe. Xiao Qing was stunned, if it was scored by rank, this person would be of the same level as those people. Then their status or martial arts should be similar. Then there are at least fifty or sixty of them that should not be underestimated. And he brought only about 20 people.
