Chapter Seventy-Two: The Trial of the Cat (Part II)

Originally, he had a negative attitude towards this kind of aggression against a big country. It wasn't because of any anti-war thinking and compassion, he just thought that this matter had a huge risk, but at that time, the imperial court approached him and promised him a lot of money. The cat-eyed monk was originally a money-loving monster - not purely fond of money, but because precious metals such as gold and silver have a lot of human essence attached to them.

The so-called "money can pass through the gods", when the imperial court handed him a box of gold coins, he was finally tempted. His hope is that he will come to the mainland for a walk, retire without injury or illness, and make money.

However, many things do not follow the trajectory we want. The latent figure of the cat-eyed little monk is ninety-nine percent fine, but in this last part of the journey, the boat capsized in the gutter and was easily solved.

What would he think now? Remorse, unwilling? No, he is a person who is easy to accept his fate, and the only thing that can make him hesitate is the plan of the slippery head and his party.

As Zhu Tian said, the cat-eyed little monk finally knew some information about the slippery ghost group, and the reason why the slippery ghost and others were successful at present was basically due to the enemy's unfamiliarity with their own situation. Therefore, it is very important to recapture the cat-eyed little monk.

However, when you think of your mission failure, you will die in the hands of the Moth, but in the hands of the slippery ghost, won't you die? This made him despair about his future.

"If they come and rob you, which way do you think they will go?" Suddenly, an indifferent female voice asked herself, and the cat-eyed little monk looked up.

The Mothweed Society wore a huge black hooded cloak, and the woman was so tall that the cat-eyed monk could see that the half of her face under the hat was very beautiful.

"Will you use the big bird from the sky to capture you all at once?" Xiang Ling didn't wait for the cat-eyed monk to answer, and continued to ask.

"I don't know what that big bird is...... the cat-eyed monk told the truth this time, "That may be the newly found partner of the slippery ghost, from the Oriental mainland to the Tang Kingdom, only some of the slippery ghost's subordinates, me, the dog demon family and the tengu people." But apparently there was no big bird—that was one of his magic weapons. ”

"Then did you know that there was a woman named Himiko?" Xiang Ling asked.

The cat-eyed monk shook his head.

Xiang Ling didn't ask him anymore, according to the description of the cat-eyed little monk. The stronghold of the slippery ghost and others is still relatively far away, and he learns the news of the failure of the cat-eyed monk and his party, and needs to wait for the big cat called "train" to return. And this back and forth, it will take at least ten hours, enough for the Motome to escort the cat-eyed monk to the headquarters of the Moth Society.

"Sir, has the whereabouts of the big bird come to fruition?" Xiang Ling turned to the front and asked Hua Jiuxi.

"Don't rush, let things sink first. The big bird might have slipped somewhere else first—we had to determine where it would eventually land in order to get closer to the enemy's nest. However, this has to be after hollowing out the news in the belly of the cat-eyed little monk before a comprehensive conclusion can be drawn. Hua Jiuxi said with a smile.

He was a man who was anxious when he should be anxious, and calm when he should be calm - even though his anxiety and composure seemed cheap and easy to change.

It was a suburb in the middle of the night, and there was no extra light except moonlight. Even the only moonlight was deserted. The sound of insects can be heard in the ruined graves among the grass.

It's almost summer, but it's still a little cool in the middle of the night.

In the dark, the leech couldn't help but come to Xiang Ling's side. Xiang felt his heart pounding, knowing that this kid was scared. I also secretly adjusted my steps to synchronize with the leeches.

After a while, I saw several bright lights flash in the infinite darkness in the distance. It was the headlights of the carriage, and I saw Tang Xinzi leading a team of horses to pull everyone to their seats. The carriages were surprisingly smooth and barely noticeable moving, and the leeches were surrounded by a group of trusty adults who fell asleep in no time.

Xie Xiaodi looked at his closed eyes, and suddenly felt that he was also a little tired. After all, the main combat missions were completed by him, and of course, he was much more experienced than the Leech. In most cases, he also solves problems independently, but he also hopes to have a situation like Leech to show weakness and coquettishness.

"Xiao Xie, you can also sleep for a while." In this car sat Xie Xiaodi and two women, plus Xiangling and Pianpian. Pian Pian slept with the leech on all fours early.

"Thanks, I'm just a little tired, but not sleepy." Xie Xiaodi glanced at the two of them again, "Sister, don't you take a break?" ”

"Vigil." Xiang Ling only replied to him with these two words.

The journey in the car was smooth, and soon we were on the outskirts of that big lake. The group got off the car and got on the boat, Hua Jiuxi and Zhu Tian pulled the cat-eyed little monk, and gradually swung to the palace and pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Hua Jiuxi hadn't been to this place before, and it didn't feel like a military fortress, but more like a place to play. Maybe there are other places hidden beneath these superficial buildings!

really let him be right, under the guidance of Tang Xinzi, everyone came to a place at the bottom of the lake where the prisoners were interrogated. The further down Hua Jiuxi went, the more I felt the cold, as if it was a hell of nine shades. At this time, if there was a sudden sound of a prisoner being tortured and screaming, he would have to be scared half to death.

And the leech himself was already a little weak, and he was holding Xie Xiaodi's arm to move forward, Xie Xiaodi looked at this little brother with very "disgusted" eyes.

"The prison was placed underground, of course, to be on the safe side—we had a large iron block three feet thick three feet above the ground, and several layers of enchantment underneath the iron. What's more, all the prisoners who enter this prison have to pierce the pipa bone with a hook knife before, so that they can't use any magic power. Therefore, for hundreds of years, very few people have been able to escape from this dungeon. Zhu Tian introduced Hua Jiuxi while holding a candle.

"And how long have you been in prison for the longest time?" Hua Jiuxi was curious about this.

"Well—about seven hundred years." Zhu Tian said.

"Seven hundred years? Isn't that when the Moths Society was formed? What kind of deep hatred is it, so that you want to capture him and not kill him, do you want to torture him constantly? Hua Jiuxi said.

Zhu Tian shook his head and said, "Then it's a long story—"

Hua Jiuxi heard his tone and knew that this was a secret inside the Moth Society, so it was better for him to inquire less, so he didn't ask anymore.

Without any extra words, everyone went to the lowest cells.

When I got here, it suddenly brightened up. Hua Jiuxi's eyes couldn't accept it for a while, and he couldn't see what was in front of him after a while. I saw a large yellow wall in front of them, and within this wall, there were several huge lattices. These grids are all hexagonal, and Hua Jiuxi immediately thinks of a thing.

"Isn't this a beehive?" The leech finally stopped being scared at this point and blurted out such a sentence.

"Yes, this is the hive." Pian Pian smiled and replied to the leech, "But there is no honey and bee larvae in this big hive, and there are prisoners in it—it can't be called prisoners, in short, the whereabouts of these people are imprisoned." ”

"Master Hua, please here—" Tang Xinzi took Hua Jiuxi alone and led her to another wall in the distance, which of course was also a huge beehive.

"Can you see what's inside?" Tang Xinzi pointed to a beehive and asked Hua Jiuxi, Hua Jiuxi vaguely saw the shape of a woman hunched over from the large yellow patch, looked at it for a while and asked, "Who is she?" ”

"It's the sandalwood beast we took with us—" Tang Xinzi replied.

"Ahh Hua Jiuxi suddenly realized, "It turned out to be her!" I thought you were eating and drinking to serve her, but I didn't expect you to be locked up here. ”

"It's more cost-effective." Tang Xinzi smiled and said, "We don't want to embarrass her, but if she asks us to go around with strange flowers and plants, it will be very annoying." And living on the water, it is inevitable to encounter dangers. We're going to keep doing it and smitten her—"

"The Zhantan Beast itself is a demon beast, how can it be fascinated?" Hua Jiuxi immediately heard this suspicion.

Tang Xinzi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, in fact, we knocked her unconscious all at once - and then brought her to this foolproof place." In the meantime, we dragged her out and interrogated her twice. ”

"Just with your own machine?" Hua Jiuxi asked.

Tang Xinzi said: "That's right, we will interrogate this cat-eyed little monk in a while, of course, we have to use that machine." But the appearance of that thing, you have seen it a long time ago. Now, I have another important thing to tell you. ”

"Don't use the word 'proclamation' for me, I can't stand it." Hua Jiuxi said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Here it is." Tang Xinzi took out a scroll from his bosom that was pasted with meat collection, and Hua Jiuxi guessed that it might be an interrogation record, so he hurriedly took it carefully.

"This Zhan Po really has a lot of things hidden in her stomach, and we can all listen to her in one go. It's about what we're going to do next – it's a big deal, so I'm going to show you for now. As he said these words, his voice really got lower and lower.

Hua Jiuxi's expression also became solemn, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll take a closer look." But before that, let's see what news there is on that cat-eyed little monk! ”

When Hua Jiuxi and the others came back, they saw a group of people intimidating the cat-eyed monk there.

"You couldn't help yourself just now, and now you can't help yourself. Because even if you don't die, you'll be locked up for the rest of your life like everyone else in this hive. I don't eat or move, and I'm like a wooden man, haha. This is Xie Xiaodi saying to the cat-eyed little monk.

The cat-eyed little monk's face turned pale.

Xie Xiaodi has always been angry that he can't use all kinds of torture to interrogate the cat-eyed monk, so he wants to scare the cat-eyed monk again before he is really tried. And the cat-eyed little monk obviously believed these words, and almost cried.

"What to do with that guy with cat-eyed little monks." Hua Jiuxi discussed with Tang Xinzi.

"Kill." Tang Xinzi said very simply.

"Can't you use him as a hostage bargaining chip, or use him to make contacts?" Hua Jiuxi continued to ask.

Tang Xinzi shook his head: "Since we have to get all the information about the enemy from the cat-eyed little monk, this is already a big mistake in itself. As for the enemy, the cat-eyed monk obviously has to make an example of the monkey, and this is the end of the failure of the mission. And the cat-eyed monk has killed a lot of us, and we can't keep him no matter what. ”

Hua Jiuxi didn't have any regrets for the cat-eyed little monk, only said: "However, according to the leeches, this cat-eyed little monk also has a very peculiar ability. Just turn back time, maybe this can be used by me? ”

"After all, it's an enemy, and if he is given autonomy, it won't be good for this ability to deal with us in reverse." Tang Xinzi said, "What's more, if he wants to defect and attack his original camp - it will be even more uncertain." ”

After hearing this, Hua Jiuxi also felt that it was the best way to dispose of the cat-eyed little monk. Just signed the death sentence of the cat-eyed little monk.

Back at the interrogation office, the cat-eyed monk was once again faced with being knocked unconscious. However, this time it is necessary to use no more neurological toxins, because it is necessary to keep the brain of the person being interrogated awake. Therefore, Zhu Tian gently strangled his neck with spider silk, and the cat-eyed monk was immediately suffocated.

In this way, Zhu Tian and Tang Xinzi brought the cat-eyed monk to a statue.

Hua Jiuxi suddenly realized, it turned out that what Tang Xinzi said before "Hua Jiuxi has seen" is such a thing.

A huge insect statue with three heads and six arms. Isn't this the statue of the Buddha worshipped by the Mothweed Club? I saw that the two of them pulled the limp cat-eyed little monk under the pile of arms of the worming Buddha and began to chant the mantra.

The six arms of the Creeping Buddha immediately moved, and his fingers pierced into the body of the cat-eyed monk (his clothes had been stripped naked at this time), and the cat-eyed monk's eyes could be observed blinking, looking slightly painful. But his expression immediately fell silent again.

Hua Jiuxi could see the fragile body of the cat-eyed little monk - his complexion was an unhealthy sallow yellow, which made people think that he might be suffering from a condition such as jaundice. The cat-eyed little monk's body is also a little skinny, and the rugged bones on his chest make people suspect that he hasn't eaten a few full meals.

Beneath his thin skin, the tentacles of the Creeping Buddha could be seen almost with the naked eye—just as we can see veins through our fair skin. The tentacles of the Creeping Buddha gradually squirmed in the cat-eyed little monk's eyes, and the skin on his surface rose and fell for a while.

"I thought I could interrogate him as soon as I got into his head." Hua Jiuxi looked at this situation and said to himself, he found that he didn't have much "empathy" ability at the moment, maybe because this cat-eyed little monk was an enemy who was against them, and secondly, because the appearance of the cat-eyed little monk was really unlikeable.

"Theoretically, that's it." Tang Xinzi explained, "But when the 'Old Ancestor' encounters a fresh living thing, he always likes to study it thoroughly. ”

Hua Jiuxi saw that Tang Xinzi called this statue "Old Ancestor", and he didn't understand the reason, of course, he didn't want to ask again. At this time, everyone watched with bated breath, and the little monk was like a guinea mouse, being fiddled with by the wriggling Buddha without a trace of expression (he didn't have facial features).

When the tentacles penetrated deep into the cat-eyed little monk's body, he saw that the huge head of the Wriggling Buddha flashed with a strong brilliance in an instant, and this brilliance immediately extended into two long pillars of light and hit a place not far from Hua Jiuxi and the others. Once this pillar of light reaches a certain distance, it begins to melt into something like a mist on its own, and the fog has five colors, and the five colors gradually merge and change, sitting in a kind of Brownian motion.

"It's a round light technique." Hua Jiuxi looked at the light mist in mid-air and said.

One or two of the people present answered him, and the Circle Light Technique was a relatively common spell in the Dao Gate. Some have to rely on magic weapons such as mirrors, while those who are high in the Tao can be used by themselves alone. For example, the "Guanpan" of Paijiao and the "Guanhu" of Lamaism are actually a kind of Yuanguang technique. Generally speaking, the circumference technique has certain restrictions on the qualifications of the viewer, such as being able to only be seen by the eyes of children, but the fog in front of you is obviously similar to similar movies, regardless of gender, old and young, anyone with eyes can see.

In between, the fog gradually showed a few confused figures coming, waiting for these figures to be clear. What appeared inside was not the slippery ghost that Hua Jiuxi and the others liked to see, but an Oriental woman dressed very charmingly, and there was another person who looked like a maid combing her hair. After watching like this for a while, the servant girl stepped back, and another man who looked to be a merchant came.

The two of them were laughing, whether the woman was stroking something.

"It seems to be the early memory of this guy with cat eyes, at that time he had not yet cultivated into a human form, that is, he still maintained the form of a cat." Hua Jiuxi didn't know the origin of the cat-eyed monk, and what he said was just a guess.

"That's not the point." Hua Jiuxi continued, "What is the situation of the cat-eyed monk himself, it is not of substantial help to our work - if we go through hundreds of thousands of years of memories like a movie, it is estimated that it will have to wait until a week later." Everyone, is there a way to adjust this thing? ”

After hearing this, Tang Xinzi knocked on his skull and muttered: "Then it seems that I still have to be interrogated, no problem, I have the best truth elixir here." ”

Tang Xinzi left in a hurry and came back in a hurry, with an extra spittoon-shaped lacquer jar in his hand. Hua Jiuxi guessed that there might be something strange and sensational inside, so he quietly turned his head.

Tang Xinzi walked up to the cat-eyed monk and rudely pried his mouth open - and then stuffed a yellow egg into it, and the thing was slippery and easy to go down.

This is clearly an animal medicine, perhaps some kind of living organism in its own right. But isn't this exactly in line with the true nature of the Mothweed Society?

"It will take effect in three minutes, and you will know everything when the time comes—however, questions that are too logical cannot be answered in such a comatose state." Tang Xinzi took a few steps back, as if he was afraid that the cat-eyed little monk would vomit something, but he didn't.

Hua Jiuxi waited for a while, and then heard the cat-eyed little monk coughing there.
