Chapter 107: Murderous Opportunities
Tao Chun moved his hands out of an inch with difficulty, and shouted with all his might, "Cut ...... quickly"
As soon as the words fell, a bright edge flashed in front of his eyes, and his forearms, which had been eroded by black qi, broke off like carrion, and were cleanly detached from him. After Huo Lianjue, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" pavilion, gritted his teeth and cut this knife, even he himself was startled. I didn't expect that cutting off people's arms would be as easy as cutting tofu, which shows the domineering nature of this spider silk poison.
The strange thing is that Tao Chun's severed arm did not flow much blood, as if the flow of blood throughout his body had become slow. However, the blood he shed was bright red, which proved that the poison of the spider silk had not completely spread, and he did not hesitate to break his arm to save his life.
Tao Chun didn't know if he was scared silly, or if he was in a daze. He stared blankly at his charcoal-like arms rolling to the floor, and didn't make a sound for a long time.
There was no blood splashing, no screams, Tao Chun was quiet and made people's hearts furious. Gradually, he closed his mouth tightly, tears slowly overflowed from his red eyes, and the painful look made people feel sad when they saw it.
In Hua Liyue's thoughts, no matter how tough a man is, watching his arms being cut off, even if it is to save his life, he will be crazy because of sadness afterwards!
But Tao Chun was an accident, he didn't feel sorry for himself except for crying. He endured all the pain and began to struggle to move his bare upper arms. Beads of sweat the size of beans ran down his cheeks.
Hua Lianyue was originally dumbfounded, but when she saw that he struggled hard for a long time and fell back, she suddenly came to her senses. She hurriedly beckoned Huo Lianjue to help Tao Chun up and dragged him to the base of the wall on the side so that he could sit up with dignity, instead of crawling on the ground like a dog.
Hua Liyue opened the wooden box again and turned out some clean fabric from it. She tore the fabric into strips and roughly bandaged Tao Chun's wounds. During the whole process, Tao Chun gritted his teeth and endured it silently, without letting out a cry of pain, but his lower lip was already blurred by the flesh he had bitten, and it was stained with blood.
Hua Lianyue and Huo Lianjue glanced at each other silently, and they both saw their admiration for this iron-blooded young man from each other's eyes.
After doing this, Hua Lianyue said to him, "You rest for a while, and then we will carry you to the Wise Master." Tao Chun didn't make a sound, only nodded and slowly closed his eyes. It seems that he also needs to digest this sudden change on his own.
Hua Liyue put her eyes back on the bed, which was still quiet, and the woman in the futon hadn't even changed her position. Hua Lianyue seemed to be calm and frightened in her heart, and she had basically determined that the woman lying under the futon was already a dead corpse.
If it was Chu Yun who died, then where did Li Ruolan go?
She cautiously approached the bed while thinking, but Huo Lianjue stopped in front of her again, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm coming!"
"Wait!" Hua Lianyue stopped him, this golden-clawed spider was too gloomy and domineering, and it was too elusive to be guarded against. Tao Chun had already paid the price for her carelessness, and she would never allow the same misfortune to happen to Huo Lianjue.
She hesitated for a moment, wrapped Huo Lianjue's hands with the remaining strips of cloth, and did not forget to advise: "Be careful, don't touch the spider silk, and those golden-clawed spiders must be in this room." At the mention of the word golden-clawed spider, her pupils shrank significantly, and it seemed that Tao Chun's miserable situation really scared her.
Not to mention Hua Lianyue, Huo Lianjue was a little nervous. He let Hua Lianyue wrap the cuffs of his hands tightly tight, then grabbed Tao Chun's steel knife tightly, and slowly stretched out to pick up the futon on the couch......
Despite being mentally prepared, Hua Liyue was still frightened. The first cloud on the bed had indeed turned into a charred corpse, as if it had been burned by fire. I don't know what kind of pain she suffered before she died, her eyes were round, her mouth was wide open, and her face looked extremely distorted and hideous.
Of course, that's not all. The most frightening thing is that her face has been covered with a layer of white spider webs. A few golden-clawed spiders were still busy crawling in and out of the corners of her mouth, nostrils, and ears, swaying and probing into the silk webs of her brain. These terrifying little things actually used Hatsuun's corpse as a breeding ground for nourishment.
Hua Liyue only felt a churning in her stomach, and she felt the urge to vomit. Huo Lianjue's face was already gloomy, and he could almost drip water, he looked around and saw the Luohan lamp that was still burning. He took the lamp off, and there was still half a pitch-black oil inside, which he poured all over Hatsukumo's corpse.
Hua Lianyue pulled out the fire fold she carried with her, she silently said sorry to the corpse of Hatsuyun on the couch, and then threw it over.
At this moment, whether it is Chu Yun's corpse, or those spiders and spider silk, they are all highly poisonous things, and ordinary people will kill them. The best thing to do is to burn a fire, and it will be a hundred.
The fire slowly burned, and the golden-clawed spiders seemed to feel the threat of the flames, and they all burrowed into her body along Hatsuyun's mouth and nose, and it seemed that they were reluctant to abandon their new home.
Hua Lianyue quietly exhaled, this is fine, if these little poisons are running around, it will be difficult to clean up. Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Huo Lianjue urged: "Let's go!" Hua Lianyue nodded, and the two dragged Tao Chun out of the house together.
The three of them retreated into the courtyard in embarrassment, watching with palpitations as the strange flames in front of them rose higher and higher, and puffs of smoke rose out of thin air. The flames attracted the attention of the monks in the temple, so many monks rushed over with wooden barrels and screamed to extinguish the fire, but Huo Lianjue stopped them with official authority.
Seeing the flames getting stronger and stronger, many monks showed horror on their faces, threw the wooden barrels in their hands, folded their hands and began to chant Buddhist scriptures aloud. Huo Lianjue's eyes swept over them one by one, but there was a mocking sneer on his lips.
Fortunately, this is a separate courtyard, and these rooms are for pilgrims staying overnight, and most of them are made of bluestone bricks, so the fire does not spread widely within a controlled range. An hour later, the fire was finally slowly extinguished, but the black smoke continued to roll out of the ruins, and was instantly blown away by the cold wind.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the dark clouds were pressing down on the hills, as if they were about to collapse at any moment. The harsh mountain wind still howled fiercely among the mountain streams, like countless hellish demons crying, piercing people's eardrums. This fire makes everyone's heart heavy and cold.
Tao Chun had already been carried to the Zen monastery of the wise master by several monks, and when he was sent over, Tao Chun was completely unconscious. The strip of cloth that Hua Lianyue used to bind his wound had been soaked with blood, and there was a faint smell of fish.
Cao Chengwen was taken aback, Tao Chun had only left him for less than half an hour, but when he was sent back, he looked so miserable. He grabbed one of the monks by the collar and shouted furiously and asked what had happened? Who had the audacity to cut off his arms?
Frightened, the monk folded his hands and recited "Amitabha" vigorously. He just rushed to put out the fire, and he really didn't know anything about the details.
The wise master had already untied the blood-soaked strips of cloth, he looked at it carefully for a long time, and then put it to his nose and sniffed it, and his long gray eyebrows were almost tangled into pimples.
Seeing this, Cao Chengwen hurriedly asked, "Master, does it matter if my brother wants it?"
The wise master of "Amitabha" habitually recited the Buddha's name, and then said with a solemn face: "This benefactor was poisoned, if he hadn't cut off his poisoned arms immediately, I am afraid that he would have died at this moment." ”
"Poisoned, how can it be poisoned again?" Cao Chengwen was already stunned by his anger, he grabbed the wise master's neck, and shouted angrily: "Why is everyone poisoned when they come to this Fahua Temple?
Although the wise master of "Amitabha" was buckled by his neck, his old face turned red. He still trembled and said: "Lord Cao is angry, although this donor has cut off his hands, but the residual poison on his body has not been cleared, if he does not use medicine to remove it quickly, I am afraid that his life will still be difficult to protect." ”
Cao Chengwen heard that Tao Chun's broken arm was not counted, but he was still worried about his life, and his eyes suddenly turned red. He pushed the wise master and said, "Don't be verbose, treat him quickly." If he has three longs and two shorts, your entire Fahua Temple will never think about peace again. ”
Cao Chengwen finally revealed his arrogant and brutal side, and the wise master didn't care much about him, and only ordered Yuan Cong: "Go, bring the Snow Lotus Jade Toad Pill, as well as the eight-treasure flower paste applied externally." ”
"Amitabha" Yuan Cong obediently led the order to get the medicine.
Cao Chengwen already had secret doubts about Fahua Temple in his heart, and he stared at the wise master's every move from the sidelines, not daring to be the slightest sloppy.
......
Hua Lianyue and Huo Lianjue searched every corner of the temple, but they didn't find any trace of Li Ruolan, she actually disappeared mysteriously under the noses of the two.
"There's something here!" The two of them found the entrance of the temple, and Hua Lianyue's eyes were sharp, and they found a small red bag under the plum tree of the Trevi Fountain, which was inconspicuous among the petals that had been blown off by the wind last night.
Hua Liyue walked over quickly and picked it up. I put it on my nose and smelled it, and a strange smell of herbs rushed to my brain. Hua Lianyue was defenseless for a while, and was so smoked by the smell that she sneezed several times in a row.
"Be careful, there are so many strange things in this temple, it's best not to touch them casually. Huo Lianjue took the things in her hand and looked at them carefully. From the color of the sachet, it looks like a sachet for women, and it is embroidered with colorful silk threads and other common colors such as mandarin ducks and tillians. It's just that the sachet fabric is generally rough stitches, and it looks like an ordinary color.
Huo Lianjue cautiously opened it and poured out some of the contents inside. It was not filled with pleasant-smelling spices, but with odd-smelling dead grass and rotten roots chopped and mixed together.
Hua Lianyue looked at it thoughtfully. She clearly remembered that there was no such sachet under the plum tree yesterday, and the workmanship was so rough, it would definitely not be the thing of Li Ruolan, who was good at needlework.
Today, it appeared out of thin air, which only proves that either there are monks in this temple who have risen to the heart of mortals, or there was a fourth woman who secretly appeared last night. I don't know if Li Ruolan's disappearance has anything to do with it.
Hua Lianyue suggested: "It's better to take it and ask the wise master to take a look, see what these grass roots are for, maybe you can find the owner of the sachet with this clue." ”
Huo Lianjue shook his head, and he said with a solemn face: "There are people missing one after another, and I can't believe anyone in this temple. Yue'er, we can't continue to consume, we must think of going down the mountain today. ”
Hua Lianyue raised her head and looked at the cloudy sky, there were already snowflakes falling silently, and it seemed that another heavy snow would follow. She stomped her foot, the soles of her boots already soaked with snow, cold and damp.
But she smiled at him and said, "Good!"
Huo Lianjue sighed, and he stretched out his arms to hug her into his arms, trying to warm her cold and delicate body with his own body heat. It's really strange to think about it, they just wanted to enjoy the flowers happily, why did they work hard all night, but their surroundings became dangerous, and everywhere was full of murderous opportunities.
With just a gentle hug, he let go of her. A moment of warmth was enough to give them the strength to face the unpredictable changes that followed.
"Let's go back and ask if we can get a horse or a carriage." Although he no longer believed in the monks in the temple, Huo Lianjue still considered that Hua Lianyue's weak body could not withstand the toss, and wanted to fight for her a little welfare.
"Amitabha, my lord was originally here, but it was easy for poor monks to find. ”
Yuan Jing hurriedly came out of the temple, he folded his hands, and after bowing to Huo Lianjue, he said with a humble face: "The presiding master knows that the lord has always been busy with official business, and he must be anxious for a night delay yesterday. Therefore, we have been ordered to prepare a carriage, which you can use at any time if you want to go down the mountain. ”
Huo Lianjue had already secretly put away the sachet, but when he heard the words, he was secretly happy, and someone sent a pillow if he really wanted to sleep. In any case, he was in a hurry to descend the mountain, and whether the carriage was strange or not, he had to take a chance.
Hua Lianyue probably thought of it with him, and saw her salute Yuanjing with a smile and said, "Thank you, master." But can the master be a good man to the end, and prepare some braziers, charcoal, food, and clean clothes in the carriage. After all, seeing that the sky is about to change, it is freezing cold, if we don't prepare everything, we don't dare to rush down the mountain. ”
Yuan Jing was obviously stunned for a moment, and the warm smile on his face froze, it was estimated that he had never seen such a shameless person.
"Your Excellency. Hua Lianyue looked at Huo Lianjue with a smile again: "What do you think you need?"
Huo Lianjue really thought about it carefully, and said, "Let's fill my stomach first! After all, you can still eat a mouthful of hot rice here, and you can only eat cold dry food in the carriage." ”
Yuanjing collapsed, it turned out that he was wrong. The most shameless thing is not this delicate little catcher, but this seemingly rigorous and fair magistrate.
