Chapter 23: Discovering the Truth
After thinking about it, I decided to stay and continue to search for the truth, so I said to my brother, "Senior brother, you go back first, I want to stay here and find out if there are any other villagers who have survived." β
"That's not good, if the person who poisoned him comes back again, what danger do you encounter, how do you want us to explain to the senior uncle?" Senior Brother Su Xuan refused to let me stay without thinking about it.
Senior Brother Yefeng saw that I was going to stay, so he said: "Senior brother, I'll stay with Tianyu, so that even if I meet that demon girl, there shouldn't be any danger, even if I can't beat it, we still have the ability to protect ourselves and escape." β
Thinking that Senior Brother Ye Feng still had to go back to study the antidote, I reminded: "Senior Brother Ye Feng, you can't stay, you still have to go back to study the antidote, this glorious and arduous task can only be completed by you." β
Senior Brother Yefeng thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, but it's too dangerous for you to stay here alone, so we can't rest assured." β
"Senior brother, you can go back with confidence, I am here to accompany my young master, and the two of us can cope with all difficulties. Yue'er said.
I refused: "Yue'er, you can't stay, you have to go back and report the situation here to the master, the master of the province and his old man are worried, senior brother, you don't have to worry, the person who poisoned him just was beaten away by us, he shouldn't come back so soon, and there is no miasma here, there will be no danger." β
Senior Brother Su Xuan saw that I insisted on staying, so he had to agree and said, "Senior Brother Tianyu, you have to be careful alone, in case something happens, you must protect yourself, don't let us worry." β
Senior Brother Yefeng said goodbye to me and said, "Tianyu, be careful, I'll come back to you as soon as I develop the antidote." β
Yue'er also said: "Young Master, I'll go back and report the matter here to the master, and I'll come back immediately, don't go too far alone." β
I finally sent my senior brother and them away, and I began to wander around the quiet village alone, looking for any clues.
I first went to the room where the poisoned person had just stayed, and found that it was very messy, there were still dried blood stains on the ground, and the tables and benches were all in tatters and fell to the ground, it seems that there had been a fight here, and it should be the traces of a fight between the villagers who had not been poisoned and the villagers who had lost their minds after being poisoned.
Then I went to look at the other houses, almost all of them were similar to the situation of the family just now, it seems that the disaster of Tranquility Village is not light, this poisoner is so hateful, these innocent villagers don't know if there are still survivors.
I took a closer look around the village, and found that there were some blood stains on the mountain road behind the village, I continued to walk along the blood stains, and found that new blood stains appeared on the ground from time to time, I looked up and identified it, this direction happened to be the direction in which the person fled just now, did I really guess wrong, that person really had something to do with this incident?
In this way, I walked along the bloodstains for half an hour, came to a cave, and the direction of the bloodstains should be to the cave, I tiptoed to the door of the cave, hid on the side of the cave, and quietly observed the inside of the cave, and found that it was dark inside, and I couldn't see anything, this cave should be very deep.
Now I'm entangled again, do I go in now or wait for the senior brother and them to come back and go in together, if I go in alone now, with my little three-legged cat kung fu, I'm afraid that I will be knocked down in minutes, but I have to wait for the senior brother and them to come back, I don't know when they will come back, in case the time is too long, it will be difficult to do the inside gone.
When I was struggling, I suddenly heard a sound behind me, looked back at the place where the sound came from, and saw a person in a black robe walking towards this side, looking very much like the girl we met in the village just now, but it seems that she just accidentally stepped on a branch to make a sound, it seems that she hasn't found me yet, but I don't have a place to hide here, the only place to hide is this cave, but after entering, it is equivalent to sending yourself to the door, and you can't run away if you want to.
I thought about it quickly in my heart, just with her, Senior Brother Wang suffered so much loss under her, I went up and was also abused, ran into the cave, see that the cave is so deep, there should be a fork in the road, as long as we go to different forks in the road, we won't encounter it, and then we can come out when it's safe.
After thinking about it, I walked quickly towards the cave, lest she would notice me in a moment, and then she would be so fast that I couldn't run away if I wanted to.
But I didn't expect that I was still too tender, and just after I entered the cave, the corners of the girl's mouth lifted lightly, and she said to herself: "With this stupid boy exploring the way ahead, it should be much safer, and if the gang finds out, you can also let that stupid boy be a shield." β
At this time I was walking along the cave to the inside, but I didn't find a fork in the road, so I had to go forward together, and now my intestines are repentant, blaming myself for being clever, I knew that I had just run in other directions while she was not paying attention, and now I really can't go.
I walked forward for a while, and the front gradually brightened, and in front of me was a very spacious stone room, where I saw that the missing villagers were all here, they were all poisoned, and they looked like stones, but the strange thing was that they were not as crazy as stones, but were quietly locked in several cages, and above the cage hung a blood-red bead, and you could faintly see a red blood mist rising from these villagers, and then gathered towards the blood-red bead, and finally absorbed by it.
I hid behind a stone pillar and continued to observe the place, there were six other people in the stone room, four of them standing on either side of the other two, it seemed that these people should be the subordinates of the two people in the middle, and the two people in the middle were staring at the blood-red bead seriously, with expectant expressions on their faces, as if they had seen their favorite thing.
One of them said, "Elder Poison, do you think this method is really useful? The seniors of our sect have exhausted all kinds of methods, and it has taken hundreds of years to repair this blood poison bead. β
The man named Elder Poison next to him replied: "Sect Master, don't worry, I found this method only after rummaging through the ancient books in the door, the blood of the bloodthirsty person is the favorite of the Blood Poison Bead, and if you use this blood to nourish the Blood Poison Bead for 7749 days, you can completely repair it." β
"The seniors in the sect have also tried to repair the blood poison bead with this method, but they have all failed, I hope that this time the blood poison bead can be repaired smoothly. β
"Sect Master rest assured, although the predecessors have also used the bloodthirsty blood to nourish the blood poison beads, but their methods are indeed wrong, hundreds of years ago in the war, the blood poison beads were unfortunately broken, completely lost its due strength, the predecessors repaired it directly placed in the blood pool containing bloodthirsty poison, the poison inside is too strong, not only can not repair the blood poison beads, but will make it more seriously damaged, we now directly let the blood poison beads slowly absorb their blood from the bloodthirsty poison living people, with these poisonous blood slowly nourished, soon can be repaired successfullyγ β
"That's good, hundreds of years ago, when the Blood Poison Bead was not damaged, how majestic our sect was, whether it was the so-called famous and decent family, or the crooked ways of the evil sect, the one who dared to provoke our Blood Poison Sect. β
Elder Poison sighed and said, "Yes, if it weren't for the fact that the previous sect master had the blood poison bead in his hand, and the blood poison bead was almost destroyed by fighting a few major masters alone, and the former sect master himself was seriously injured, how could he have been bullied by various sects from now on." β
"Hey, Elder Poison is right, but we don't have to worry, as long as we can repair the Blood Poison Bead this time, our Blood Poison Sect can regain its prestige back then, and this is all thanks to Elder Poison. β
After listening to their conversation, I roughly understood the whole thing, they poisoned these villagers, they wanted to use the blood of these villagers to repair the blood poison beads, they made so many miasma out of the fear that others would find out their plan, since the blood poison beads are so powerful, others will definitely not watch them repair it.
But now even if I know their plan, it won't help, I now have the tiger in front of me and the pursuers in the back, I can't beat the one in the back, and the ones in front can't be provoked, what should I do?
The only hope now is to hope that the one behind is not a person from the Blood Poison Sect, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, if they are not in a group, then I can still struggle.
I was thinking about how to solve the death situation in front of me, when suddenly a dark shadow flashed behind me and flew towards the blood poison beads hanging in the air, and the two men shouted, "Go and stop her, don't let her ruin our plan." β
The four men in black drew their weapons to stop the black shadow from approaching the blood poison bead.
Seeing them fighting, I instantly felt that my opportunity had come, and the thirty-six plan was the best plan, but before I could run, I heard the girl shouting at me: "Why are you still stunned, didn't we say that I would lead them away, you go and destroy the blood poison beads, go quickly." β
I was a little confused when she shouted, what is the situation, when did we discuss it, I don't know her.
But the sect master and the poisonous elder didn't think so, after she shouted at me, they found me, thinking that I was really her helper, and the poisonous elder didn't say a word, and rushed at me with a weapon.
There are 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping in my heart, and I really can't offend girls, especially smart girls, otherwise I don't know how you were pitted to death. I knew that when she and her senior brother were fighting just now, we would beat her up together, but now it's too late to think about anything, since I passively got on the same boat as her, I can only fight the enemy together and then find a way to slip away, thinking of doing it, watching the poisonous elder rush over, I had to pull out my sword and face him.
