Chapter 187: Mystery
"Is it really that woman?What happened during the time you went out?" Shouchen hurriedly helped Yuan Zhen up and asked, but seeing that his face was pale and his lips trembled, he noticed that his left arm was seriously injured.
"Your left arm was broken?" Shouchen said in a deep voice, seeing Yuan Zhen nodding, his face was gloomy.
"Take care of your injuries first. Shouchen stopped Yuan Zhen's answer, and Xuan Ze helped him with treatment.
Half an hour later, Shouchen helped Yuan Zhen bandage his broken left arm before asking, "How was your left arm broken by the other party?"
"A stone. "Yuan Zhendao.
"How is it possible?" Shouchen frowned, his face a little shocked.
"Yuan Zhen is ashamed, that woman did break my entire arm with just a small stone. And I was not the only one who confronted her at the scene, there was also the young master of Yuanzhi, and even eight members of the fierce tooth team. But that's it, that woman can defeat us all with just one person!" said Yuan Zhen truthfully.
When Shouchen heard this, his heart suddenly became turbulent, and he muttered, "The eight fierce tooth teams can't beat her?"
"Well, those eight fierce tooth teams should have been sent by the Second Elder to assist Young Master Yuanzhi. Yuan Zhen took out a copper rattle and continued: "I followed your wishes, secretly followed the movements of the young master of Yuanzhi, and when I arrived at his location, I found that the dense forest had become a sea of fire, and the young master of Yuanzhi was lying down next to the tree, and eight fierce tooth teams also fell nearby, and only a masked woman in a black cloak was standing there. At that time, I had a feeling that this mysterious woman might be the one who stole the underground treasure house, so on the spur of the moment, I rang the copper bell and secretly manipulated the Fierce Fang team, and turned them into a second madness in order to keep her, but I was easily defeated by the woman!"
Shouchen kept tapping the wooden table with his old fingers, making an anxious sound, he took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "It seems that this woman is consumed by us, she even dares to move the young master, so she is not afraid that those old guys will find her desperately?"
"Elder Shouchen, this woman's strength is very amazing, in my judgment, she is very likely to be the woman who stole the underground treasure vault, and she can beat the monsters of the Fierce Fang Group with only her fists and feet, and I don't sense any Wu Yuan's existence in her. "Yuan Zhendao.
"There is no Wu Yuan, just the power of fists and feet?" Shou Chen's face was surprised.
"It's not all the power of fists and feet, judging from the scene, she created a sea of fire and released a fireball, but when she released it, I didn't feel any martial arts breath. "Yuan Zhendao.
Shouchen was silent for a long time, squinted his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the Song family has been targeted by a strong man of unknown origin......"
"Elder Shouchen, this woman seems to be coming for Yuan Shi, what should we do next?" Yuan Zhen's face turned pale.
"She'd already stolen one, and if she knew it was only half there, she'd come again...... After all, if you have stolen a fishy cat, you will always remember the smell of temptation, and you can't steal it just once. Shouchen smiled coldly, "For this powerful and mysterious powerhouse, the best way is to put a long line, put bait, trap her completely, and wait until the time is ripe to close the net." She can't eat it, and she has to spit out the one she stole before. ”
Yuan Zhen nodded solemnly and took a sip of tea.
Shouchen looked at the flickering candlelight and said in a low voice: "Although those old guys don't know clearly that the thing in the treasure house is the Yuan Stone, it doesn't mean that they won't know it in the future, sooner or later, they will suddenly wake up." Therefore, we also need to keep the matter of Yuanshi more confidential and don't spread it out indiscriminately, so don't be too arrogant and let others doubt it. As for the woman, we will watch from the sidelines, and when necessary, fan the flames, let her fight to the death with the old elm wood of the family, and we will sit on the mountain in the back and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”
"Yes!" Yuan Zhen nodded solemnly again, and under Shouchen's repeated instructions, he said goodbye and left.
......
Five days have passed since the first battle in the dense forest, and during this period, the Song family sent a large number of clansmen to search and track down the murderer on the fact that the young master was seriously injured, but there was no result, and the murderer was like a ghost, and there was no trace at all.
However, they only reported this matter to people within the family, and did not issue a reward for the murderer. First, the old hall of the Song family felt that it was a matter of the family's face, the young master was seriously injured, and the Song family, who had always been famous for their ability to trace the Jiangnan martial arts world, issued a reward order for the murderer, wouldn't it be admitted to the outside world that their ability to track down was not good, and they needed help from all parties, so that the family's face and reputation would be damaged. Second, the Song family wants to hide a secret, that is, the existence of the fierce tooth group, and they don't want the outside world to know that the Song family is raising these monsters that are not accepted by the martial arts world.
In the Song Family's Martial Arts Medical Hall, in an independent ward, there is a metal instrument like a capsule, followed by various medical equipment, infusion tubes, and wiring, in the eyes of ordinary people, they will think that this is a sleeping cabin, but it is actually a medical cabin, which is a device used by martial artists for treatment, those pipes that seem to be infusions are not only to transport medicinal liquid, but also to transport Wu Yuan energy, after all, Wu Yuan energy can nourish the damaged body and muscles and bones of the martial artist.
Through the oval glass of the medical module, it could be seen that it was filled with liquid, and that there was a shirtless and sturdy man standing with his eyes closed, apparently asleep, with a ventilator in his mouth and a delivery tube inserted into his body.
Outside the large glass of the separate ward, several people stood in almost identical attire.
Their faces were old, their expressions were solemn, and their deep eyes were fixed on the sleeping man in the medical cabin.
This group of old people were the elders of the Song Family Elder Hall, and the second and third elders were also among them.
"Elders, don't worry too much, the young master has passed the danger period, and if he maintains the current level of treatment, the young master will wake up within a week at most. The kind-eyed Third Elder broke the silence and said in a tone of affirmation.
"Third Elder, with your medical skills, you can make the young master wake up, I don't doubt this, but what I'm worried about is whether there will be sequelae after the young master wakes up?" asked an elder with a thin face like a monkey.
The third elder hesitated for a long time before he said: "The young master was seriously injured in this battle, and the meridians of his whole body were almost destroyed, even if his body recovers in the future, due to the damage of the meridians, his cultivation will be much worse than before, and he will even lose his cultivation and become an ordinary person." When the Third Elder said this, his tone was very helpless and sighing.
The crowd fell silent, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
The word ordinary person is already a more euphemistic statement, it is not good, the martial artist who has cultivated to the end is a waste in the eyes of the world, and even ordinary people are not as good.
Suddenly, the sound of rubble sounded, startling all the elders present.
Everyone looked back and saw an old man with a white beard crushing a vase beside him, with thick eyebrows and a dignified face showing anger.
"Ma Dan!" the white-bearded old man scolded, "I dare to do such a vicious attack on the young master, if this murderer is caught by me, I will definitely tear him apart." ”
"Eh, Fifth Elder, don't be impatient, what's the use of you stirring up the liver fire here?" a white-eyed old man with exquisite round glasses glared at him beside him, and said unhappily.
"Young Master Yuanzhi did have a vicious fight with this murderer, and he was injured in many parts of his body, one of which caused the meridians of his whole body to be destroyed, but the strange thing is that this fatal injury was not caused from the outside, but from the inside. The three elders threw out a question that made all the elders feel strange.
"Is it caused by the murderer injecting Wu Yuan energy into his body, and then destroying the inside of his body by detonating it?" the old man with round glasses narrowed his eyes slightly, and quickly asked.
"At first, I thought it was the murderer, but after I checked the young master's body many times in the past few days, I found that there were no other martial arts energy remnants in the meridians and martial cores in the young master, and some were only his own martial yuan. Therefore, I have repeatedly thought about a possibility that we have ignored in the past few days, that is, the destruction of the young master's meridians was caused by himself using Wu Yuan to blow up his own meridians in his body, not by others. ”
"Nonsense!" The white-bearded old man suddenly became angry and scolded: "How can the young master be so good that he can self-destruct his meridians, isn't he threatened by the killing of a thousand knives?"
Although this was said very rudely, it made the elders present fall silent for a moment, and it seemed that it made more sense for the young master to be threatened.
"Is the young master's being alone that night related to that Li Xiaoke?" the old man with round glasses suddenly asked.
"Well, it is very likely that the young master's personal butler Nuo Kun said that the young master has been infatuated with the woman named Li Xiaoke recently, and often sends people to collect information about this woman and look for this woman. That night, he went out alone, most likely to look for her. The Second Elder, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"Is there any information about this woman?"
The second elder shook his head and said, "No, I have already asked Nuo Kun, and he is now also leading people to find accurate information about that woman from the people that the young master has recently contacted, and he will report to us as soon as there is news." As for the scene, I sent dozens of clansmen that night to track down the whereabouts of the murderer, and at that time there was indeed a residual smell at the scene that did not belong to the young master or a member of the Fierce Fang team, and our people followed the smell all the way, but in the end they only tracked it to the edge of the cliff, and the smell dissipated, as if it had disappeared out of thin air. ”
"Disappear into thin air, on the edge of the cliff? Could it be that the woman's scent was interrupted because of ...... flew away from the edge of the cliff, then isn't she an Earth Sea Rank martial artist, who can transform Wu Yuan into wings?" The white-bearded old man glared, his brown face shocked.
"If it's really an Earth Sea Rank powerhouse, then it's a bit troublesome......" The Third Elder frowned, his expression solemn.
