Chapter 808: Chi Yuan's Yang Scheme
Behind the curtain is a narrow and deep corridor.
On the left side of the corridor is a compartment, and in the compartment, except for a beast head hanging on the north-facing wall, and a shrine on the table, the rest of the place, except for the dim light, is no different from the houses of the other people in the tribe.
The tall and old man sat on a low wooden stool, his ears moved slightly, quietly listening to the movement outside the house, in the dim light, the expression on his face was suddenly complicated and incomprehensible, and suddenly returned to calm, and in an instant, it had undergone many changes, but unfortunately there was no one else in the room except him, so no one saw that wonderful scene at all.
You must know that ordinary people simply cannot make such a rich change in expression in such a short period of time, after all, the speed at which the muscles on their face can make movements.
However, the tall man who had lived for more than 300 years and seemed to be old, but his body contained seemingly endless vitality in his body did it, and he did it unconsciously, naturally with the changes in his inner emotions.
If Jiang Ning was here at the moment, he would definitely feel that the Chi Yuan of the past dynasties had always adhered to a very respectful attitude towards the old man in front of him, which was simply wise.
If they covet the secret of the immortality of the person in front of them, and are not willing to let him only be a witch doctor in the clan to solve the people's dangers, then the result may not be too optimistic.
In many cases, without cultivation in the normal sense, it does not mean that there is no strength, and this sickle master, since he can still live alive in the world after the two Chiyuan patriarchs have died one after another, it is enough to explain a lot of problems.
The tall old man sat quietly on the wooden bench, waited for Ziyu outside to leave, consciously closed the door, and then slowly came out, turned left and turned into the corridor.
The old man waved his hand gently, and the dark corridor lit up in an instant.
On the wall on the right side of the corridor, there will be a candlestick with bones every three steps, on the candlestick, there is no candle, let alone any lamp oil or anything like that, but there is a slight blue light on the empty candlestick, the blue light on the empty candlestick, condensed into the light and shadow of a blue candle, combined with the base of the skeleton splicing, perfectly blended the three elements of death, weirdness and beauty, so that the person who saw it, involuntarily gave birth to an indescribable feeling in his heart.
The old man walked slowly along the corridor and walked in, and in a short time, he had already reached the end of the room.
The witch doctor's house, from the outside, was about thirty paces deep, and the strange thing was that the old man walked fifty steps inside the house before reaching the end of the room.
Once he had reached there, the old man gave birth to a finger and rubbed a streak of blood under the neck of the chicken head hanging from his body, and then drew a monotonous and simple rune with the chicken blood on the wall at the end of the room.
What followed was a series of incantations that no one could understand except the old man himself.
The chicken's blood was obviously red, but when the runes lit up, it was the same dark blue as those lit candlesticks.
Immediately after, the thick walls made of red stone walls became ethereal under the blue light.
The old man stood in place, looking at the wall that seemed to have become a passage to an unknown space, and a strange look flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he stood firmly at the entrance of the passage for a long time, and then stepped in.
On the other side, in the cell, Ziyu had already gone and returned.
It's just that this time, his attitude towards Jiang Ning and Dong Xun is not as obedient and friendly as before.
On top of the bony face, with a little playfulness and hideousness, Ziyu stood outside the cell where Jiang Ning and Dong Xun were held, looking at the two quietly for a long time, without saying a word.
Jiang Ning leaned against the wall, clasped his arms with his hands, and looked at him with a smile, as for Dong Xun, after learning that this guy had gone and returned, he was no longer interested in him, and he lay directly on the dry and flat thatch on the ground, with his back to the wall on the other side of the cell, and slept quietly.
Coming out of the cell in a menacing manner, Ziyu wanted to question the two of them again, but when he really came here, he saw Jiang Ning's playful expression, and Dong Xun's attitude of not caring about him at all, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.
When it came to his own life, he had to be cautious, even if he got the conclusion from the extremely trusted Kamashi that there was no poisoning at all, he still didn't dare to gamble with his life. Second, if Jiang Ning and Dong Xun really didn't hold the slightest handle on him, and just relied on that fake pill to deceive him, at the moment, it would be impossible for him to really be so indifferent.
came and went, but Ziyu himself was confused.
Fortunately, he still has a little determination after all, since he has decided to find out whether he is poisoned or not, no matter whether the judgment of the sickle master is correct or not, he must come to the cell to 'turn his face' with Jiang Ning and them.
In the final analysis, this Ziyu is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he knows very well what it means to judge the situation.
In the forest on the outskirts of the Chiyuan tribe, he fell into the trap of Jiang Ning and Dong Xun, life and death were not under his control, and there was no room for bargaining, so he behaved very well-behaved along the way, for fear that one would accidentally make Jiang Ning and Dong Xun unhappy, so he killed him directly.
However, after the three of them really came to the Chiyuan tribe, he had a certain amount of chips and capital, and he could talk to Jiang Ning and the two of them about the conditions under certain conditions, and even if he turned his face once, there was still room for turnaround, and for him, confirming whether there were toxins in his body was enough for him to consume such a hard-won space.
Ziyu stood at the door of the cell, looked at Jiang Ning with a cold gaze, and said: "Because of the special way of cultivation, I actually have a certain amount of research on pharmacology, outside the Chiyuan tribe, after you forced me to eat that "poison", I vaguely concluded that that pill is a relatively mild tonic medicine at all, and it does not have any toxins at all." As he spoke, his gaze fell firmly on Jiang Ning's body, as if he wanted to notice a trace of strangeness from the changes in his expression and body movements, but unfortunately, in the end, Jiang Ning's face was still unwavering, and he looked like he had eaten you, without the slightest timidity, but made his already unfirm mind even more hesitant at the moment.
But even so, Ziyu forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart, forced himself to show a cruel look, and said to Jiang Ning: "On your body, there is nothing that can be used as poison and can be dissolved at any time, plus your reaction when I took the medicine, I judged at that time that the two of you are actually very likely to be cheating on me! And now, I am almost completely sure that you have not poisoned me at all, how about it, am I right?"
Ziyu originally wanted to say some more cruel words to force Jiang Ning and Dong Xun to confess, after all, this is the territory of the Chiyuan tribe, once they can't bear the psychological pressure and tell the truth they expect to themselves, then things will be completely different. However, once he thought that he still had a little chance that he was really poisoned, if he said too cruel words, if he was really poisoned at that time, he would inevitably be tortured by Jiang Ning and the others or even killed directly after using it, so he thought about it and didn't say it, anyway, just that hideous expression and cold murderous aura were enough to do a lot of things.
But when one keeps thinking that things might go in some very bad or worse direction, later on, things often really go in that direction.
For Ziyu, this is a true portrayal of what he is experiencing now.
I thought that after some intimidation, Dong Xun and Jiang Ning, who were now in the tiger's den, would tell the so-called truth out of fear, but I didn't expect that Jiang Ning didn't even say a word, and all his previous luck psychology was like a balloon that had been blown too much air, cracked with a bang and shattered directly.
The answer to Ziyu was just a snap of Jiang Ning's fingers.
He just sat there, snapping his fingers with a smile, Ziyu only felt that his abdomen was hot, as if he had drunk a whole bowl of red-hot molten iron, and then, there was pain, which was the result of a super strong sense of pressure acting on the organs, for a person like Ziyu whose internal qi could not be released, it was obviously an existence that he could not fully understand.
Jiang Ning snapped his fingers again, and the pain and pressure immediately dissipated, and Ziyu only felt that his body immediately recovered as before, and there was no longer the slightest abnormality.
Looking coldly at the man in front of him who had changed from menacing to a meek and well-behaved man like a kitten and a puppy, Jiang Ning smiled coldly: "How is it, now do you think you are poisoned, or are you not wow?"
Under the action of an indescribable force, Ziyu, who still can't understand the internal air circulation, only feels as if his throat is choked by someone, and there is always a feeling that he can't breathe even though he has opened his mouth and nose.
In fact, it was just Jiang Ning manipulating the True Yuan Seed to release a certain amount of energy to oppress this guy's breathing pipe, because it was controlled by the Yuan Shen and not just controlled by the True Yuan, so even if Chi Yuan came over, he couldn't see any clues at all.
At this moment, Ziyu's heart has fallen from the sky to the bottom.
He knew that the person in front of him had indeed poisoned himself as he said, otherwise he would not have had such a sudden change in his physical condition as soon as he saw him.
And with his own knowledge of pharmacology, it is understandable that there was an error in judgment.
However, at the moment, this person's method of poisoning can even deceive the eyes of the respected sickleman, which shows that the person in front of him is not simple.
Therefore, right now, Jiang Ning and the others have become more unfathomable in his eyes.
A master of poisoning who can deviate from the eyes of the sickle, about even the patriarch of the Chiyuan tribe, Chiyuan himself, will feel tricky, he wants to see any flaws in him, it is simply wishful thinking, at the moment, he completely cut off the idea of trying to kill Jiang Ning and Dong Xun, but decided to help the two great gods wholeheartedly, hoping that after they finish their work, they can send mercy and really get rid of the poison on their bodies as originally said.
How did he know that the reason why the sickle master replied that he was not poisoned was not because he did not notice the changes in his body, but that he was really not poisoned, and the means that Jiang Ning relied on to control him were not poisons.
As for the old man who had lived for more than three hundred years, he clearly saw the abnormality in Ziyu's body, but he didn't point out the reason for him, except for the old man himself, everyone didn't know.
On the contrary, Jiang Ning, after experiencing the clumsy performance of the person in front of him, did not get angry and punish Ziyu or anything else, but just told him to leave with an expressionless face, and then helped himself to secretly find the current location of the second-order demon beast, and helped them find a way to leave the prison and approach the second-order demon beast.
Regarding the task that Jiang Ning wanted to assign to him, Ziyu was not surprised at all, what really surprised him was that Jiang Ning really didn't embarrass him because of today's events, and he didn't even show a trace of dissatisfaction, as if he expected him to come to perform such a play outside the cell. On the contrary, all the words he had prepared to defend himself were accumulated in his stomach, and he couldn't say a word.
Because he knew that Jiang Ning and Dong Xun were the only people they could rely on in this Chiyuan tribe, from the very beginning, he knew that before his use value was completely lost, no matter how much he offended Jiang Ning and Dong Xun, they would not easily let the toxins in their bodies attack and die. It was precisely because of this that he dared to appear in front of Jiang Ning so boldly before, and directly asked the hesitation in his heart and said his judgment on the matter.
However, it really happened, and Jiang Ning really didn't say a word, which still made him feel very surprised. Originally, he felt that even if Jiang Ning didn't plan to poison himself for the time being, but because of his previous words, he would still be dissatisfied with himself, at least after determining that he was poisoned, he should be more or less punished and admonished, or at least two sentences of reprimand, but in fact, he seemed to have expected the development of things early on, and he didn't have the slightest momentum at all, and even seemed to be sitting in a prison cell from the beginning, waiting for himself to come to him, can no longer afford the slightest disobedience.
In order to survive, the only way to survive is to listen to that person, help him find the place where the second-order demon beast is held in the shortest possible time, and assist him in using the purple heart worm to complete the devouring of the demon beast, so as to increase Jiang Ning's cultivation.
Therefore, when he left the prison and closed the door, he breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely worried about his future.
After all, looking for the whereabouts of that second-order demon beast on his own chassis for that person was equivalent to betraying the entire Chiyuan tribe, if one was accidentally discovered by the clansmen or Chiyuan himself, then it would inevitably lead to a dead end.
Chi Yuan himself has a lot of power in them, and he is a very clever guy.
Ziyu had to admit that although there must be no good end to going against Jiang Ning, betraying Chiyuan would also cost him his life.
Maybe Jiang Ning's strength is stronger than Chi Yuan, maybe his strength is slightly weaker than Chi Yuan, but in any case, when the two of them can also kill him, they all mean the same to themselves.
But right now, in his place, he has to choose someone to offend, which is a very uncomfortable thing for him, because no matter what, he has to offend a person, and this person, he can't afford to provoke at all, so it's strange that he can feel better.
It's just that the feeling of being uncomfortable and uncomfortable, heavy and heavy, Ziyu still tried his best to use his connections and all his strength in the tribe, and took advantage of the fact that this long and lazy night had not completely passed, and immediately began his own search for the whereabouts of the second-order demon beast.
It's just that although Ziyu thought about it and did so, Jiang Ning didn't dare to put all his hopes on him.
As the head of the tribe, Chi Yuan's mind is far from being as simple as it appears on the surface.
Since he dared to send four teams to infiltrate the Lishan tribe to help him find the Purple Heart Amber, he must have considered that if the Purple Heart Amber was found, would it be directly refined and used by those Chi Yuan, who had obtained the amber.
The Lishan tribe is in the past, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one in the tribe will intend to follow suit.
However, without any restraint, Na Chiyuan still sent them out to find Purple Heart Amber, and he didn't have the slightest scruples, obviously he had a back hand.
It is no secret that there is a second-order demon beast in the Chiyuan tribe for the people of the two tribes, and the person who has obtained the purple heart amber can't help but be greedy and want to use the purple heart amber to absorb the only remaining second-order demon beast, or directly devour the first-order demon beast in the beast pen, they need to return to the red abyss tribe to be able to effectively complete it. Otherwise, relying on their strength alone, it is an extremely dangerous and not easy thing to complete to win a first-order demon beast alone, and if you don't do the simple things in front of you, you have to wait until the difficulty is to do it, it is obviously not a normal person's way of thinking, so Chi Yuan knows very well that as long as he sends people and horses to guard the position of the first-order demon beasts and second-order demon beasts in the clan, the person who gets the purple heart amber will definitely come here to find him by himself!
