Chapter 515: The human heart is unpredictable
As a guest of the Xun family who grew up with Xun Mengqi since childhood, Chu Xiang knows the ruthlessness of this young master, if Cui Yao does not admit his guilt tonight, he will inevitably be punished tomorrow. The means of punishment are diverse and extremely cruel, if Cui Yao's body is damaged, then the next treasure hunt will have one less combat power, which is really not cost-effective!
Thinking like this, Chu Xiang hurriedly got up and put on his shoes and socks, and prepared to go to Cui Yao's room to remind him and ask him to confess his guilt tonight. As soon as he walked to the door, he thought that the corridor might arouse the vigilance of the young master and cause dissatisfaction, so it was better to go through the window and remind him to turn it back again, so that he would have nothing to do with himself and avoid being implicated.
After making up his mind, he quietly slipped to the window again, pushed open the window and looked, it was pitch black all around, and he could only vaguely hear the sound of flowing water in Huanxi not far away, just enough to cover the footsteps. He estimated the location of Cui Yao's room and jumped out of the window directly.
Stepping on the roof tiles on the edge of the window, Chu Xiang arrived in front of Cui Yao's window very carefully, the room was very quiet, and even the sound of breathing could not be heard, he was quite strange in his heart, he was snoring before, why is it suddenly muted now?
He didn't make a sound, he pushed the window in lightly and walked to the head of the bed, shook Cui Yao's body, and said with a wry smile: "Cui Zuo, I can make you miserable." ”
Cui Yao unexpectedly didn't wake up, Chu Xiangxin said: I just swept the stairs for a day, how can I be so tired?
"Cui Zuo Envoy?" He shook Cui Yao's body again, this time slightly increasing his strength, but the other party still didn't react.
He had already realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly probed Cui Yao's snort, but fortunately, the person was fine, but it seemed that he had been knocked unconscious or poisoned and fell unconscious. He found the teapot on the table in the dark, and poured the tea on Cui Yao's face, but heard the other party shout: "Sect leader, help!" Subordinates are going to be drowned......"
The second half of Cui Yao's words became lower and lower as he woke up, and he got up and scolded secretly: "Bad luck!" "Apparently having a drowning nightmare. He wiped the tea from his face again, and when he looked up, there was a black figure standing at the head of the bed, grinning at him!
Cui Yao made a palm, the palm wind was extremely sharp, Chu Xiang was busy parrying, retreated three steps back, and shouted: "It's me, Chu Xiang!" ”
Cui Yao heard the sound of people and quickly closed his palm, jumped up, frowned and asked, "Right Envoy Chu?" Do you see the one who knocked me unconscious? ”
"Someone knocked you unconscious?" Chu Xiang's hands that had just taken off their guard were parrying again, and he glanced around, only to feel that what happened tonight was bizarre and terrifying, because there were only a few people in this hotel who could stun Cui Yao!
"I've got to report this to the Master!" Cui Yao didn't explain to Chu Xiang, he pushed the door directly, strode out of Xun Mengqi's room, and was about to knock on the door when he heard a coquettish voice from the house: "Who is it?" Before Cui Yao could speak, the door was slammed and shattered by the people in the house, and he hurriedly said: "Sect Master, it's me, Cui Yao!" ”
"Cui Zuo Envoy?" Xun Mengqi obviously didn't fall asleep, he was still dressed in the same clothes as during the day, neatly dressed, Huo'er yawned on his shoulder, looking very sleepy.
"Didn't you sleep!" Xun Mengqi's words were quite reproachful, thinking that he was here to confess his guilt?
Of course, Cui Yao didn't admit his guilt, and he didn't answer Xun Mengqi's question directly, and said directly: "Sect leader, my subordinates heard footsteps in the corridor before, and they were just about to go out to check, but they were caught in the cold, and they were still at the door when they fainted, but they woke up and slept at the head of the bed, and their subordinates wondered if it would be from the six gangs......"
Before Cui Yao finished speaking, Xun Mengqi directly threw Huo'er into his arms, turned into a black shadow and ran to a door at the corner of the corridor. At this time, many guests on the third floor heard the movement outside the house, and lit the lights out of their respective doors, illuminating the corridor, and several people gathered together to complain a few words, but they heard a loud sound of the door breaking, and people flocked to watch, it turned out that Xun Mengqi flew up and kicked down the door directly, and was standing at the door looking around with a cold face, as if he was looking for someone.
"Sect Master, do you suspect it's him?" Cui Yao asked with a wrinkle. This room is the leader of the group of Tubo people, the residence of the triangular eye, and only he has the strength to quietly stun Cui Yao.
Xun Mengqi didn't answer Cui Yao, this row of rooms is full of Tubo people, if you can't catch the leader, can you still run away?
He was just about to search room by room, when a figure suddenly appeared from a door at the end of the corridor, followed by Chu Xiang, only to hear him shout loudly: "Sect Master, stop him!" ”
There is no need for Chu Xiang to remind him, Xun Mengqi has already made a move! He used his ring finger and thumb to gently pinch the needle and thread, the little finger and index finger stretched out to present the orchid finger style, and the index finger was used as a sword trick, pointing to the person who fled.
This move "Guangjun" is the initial move of "Sunflower Treasure Book", and it is also the most difficult move to practice, but through the efforts of the two generations of masters of Dongfang Yi and Dongfang Lan, the move has been simplified a lot, so Xun Mengqi can use it skillfully, but the internal force is not enough, and at most he can control a stitch and a thread.
To deal with such minions, one stitch and one thread is enough. Chu Xiang pulled the man's feet and dragged him to the ground as he walked: "This person was about to jump out of the window to escape, but he was caught by his subordinates, and he slapped him twice, and he fled back to the room because he was no match for him, but he happened to bump into the sect leader......"
Chu Xiang, as the right envoy of the Divine Sect and Xun Mengqi's right-hand man, of course also guessed that Cui Yao's coma might be the hand of the Tubo people, and the end of the corridor was a dead end, and the only place where the enemy could escape was the window......
Xun Mengqi nodded, pushed open the door of a nearby room, and entered the room, Cui Yao shouted with a cold face that everyone on the lookers went back to their rooms to rest, and after the crowd dispersed, they closed the door with Chu Xiang and entered.
This room is also the residence of the Tubo people, the triangular eye martial arts are strong, is the only threat to this hotel, as the left envoy of the Divine Sect, Cui Yao, shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the sect leader, naturally paid attention to the investigation, and informed Xun Mengqi.
Cui Yao lit the candle and put the fire on the table, Chu Xiang turned the man over, Xun Mengqi did not delay, and asked with a cold face, "What about your leader and others?" ”
The man was shot by a flying needle and couldn't move, just stared at Xun Mengqi, gritted his teeth and didn't speak.
Xun Mengqi knew that this would be the result, and after asking, he directly twisted the needle and thread between his fingers, and the flying needle also rotated, stirring the blood on the back of the man's neck.
If the hard ones don't work, then the soft ones will come. Xun Mengqi stopped twisting the needle and thread, and said lightly: "It's pointless if you don't speak, the leader of your family spared my life, if you answer honestly, I will also spare your life, but if you don't say a word, you have to die, and you weigh it yourself to weigh whether it is worth it." ”
After a moment of silence, the man still stared at Xun Mengqi with resentful eyes, looking soft and hard like that.
"Heh......" Xun Mengqi sneered, his wrist moved, and another silver needle was pinched between his fingers. When Cui Yao heard his laughter, he unconsciously shuddered, and said in his heart: You are so ignorant of lifting, but you are going to suffer!
Xun Mengqi has his own way to deal with people who don't eat soft and hard, he glanced at Chu Xiang, the latter understood, raised the person's right hand high, and saw a cold light shoot out, and the sharp silver needle pierced deeply into the man's nails, and he screamed in pain, tears swirled in his eyes, and finally slid down his cheeks.
Chu Xiang and Cui Yao all frowned, unable to bear to see this torture. Especially Cui Yao, who had seen such a tragic situation before, was even more terrifying when he recalled it at this time.
It was when Xun Mengqi first became the leader of the sect, at the age of ten, a child, naturally many believers were not convinced, and Dongfang Lan's tragic death at the hands of Xiao Shuguan also made many people feel that the Divine Religion was in decline and had no future at all, and various reasons caused many people to apostatize, Xun Mengqi's way to deal with it was to intimidate the traitors by cruel means. At that time, Cui Yao caught three apostasy people and handed them over to Xun Mengqi for disposal, the method he used was to pierce his fingers with needles, and the three people had countless silver needles densely pierced between the nails of their hands and feet in twenty places, and the screams continued for a whole night, and they died of fear, and the next day the corpse was hung in a temporary station on the outskirts of Luoyang City, and no one dared to apostasy since then.
This time it was torture again, but it was much better than the previous three, except that a needle was threaded through one finger. The man howled for a while, and saw Xun Mengqi holding a silver needle in his hand, the needle was cold, and he felt straight in his heart when he saw it, and he didn't want to beg for mercy in a hurry: "Please spare me, I said, I will say everything, will you let me go?" ”
Xun Mengqi didn't agree, and asked directly: "Who are you, why did you attack Cui Yao?" ”
The man seemed to know Xun Mengqi's temper, and he didn't dare to use his life as an exchange condition, so he could only hope that what he had said before would be counted, and he would tell it out one by one.
This group of people is the Tubo Blood Knife Gate, the triangular eye is the fourth generation of the master, and the Blood Knife Gate is notorious in his hands, so he is called the Blood Knife Ancestor by the Tubo people, whose real name is Gagu. came to the Central Plains, first, I got the news from the Xiangwang Mansion and came to Kaifeng to participate in the treasure hunting; The second is that the Blood Knife Ancestor felt that Tubo had no opponents and the master was lonely, so the whole sect moved to the Southern Song Dynasty, preparing to show his ambitions in the Southern Song Dynasty and dominate the Central Plains martial arts.
This time, there were a total of eleven people who pretended to be a camel team to welcome guests, and the other disciples hid in an inn on the south bank of Huanxi and did not participate in the treasure hunt. The person who was in trouble with Yin Baizhan outside the hotel during the day was one of the three major envoys of the Blood Knife Killing Order, named the Giant Elephant, also known as the Giant Elephant Envoy, and the other two were the Doom Envoy and the White Truth Envoy. The person who was caught was named Zhong Xuan, and he was just a small minion.
During the day, the four Blood Knife Ancestors went out of the store to go back to the inn to settle the disciples, and the gathering of Xun Mengqi's group naturally attracted his attention, and Cui Yao, who was pretending to be a miscellaneous servant, was also recognized by him, and through the interaction between Cui Yao and Xun Mengqi's eyes, he guessed the relationship between the two superiors and subordinates. In the middle of the night, he heard a noise in the corridor, went out to take a look, and saw someone eavesdropping outside the door of Xun Mengqi's room, he turned back to the room and jumped out of the window, quietly sneaked into Cui Yao's room, knocked Cui Yao, who heard the movement outside the door and was about to go out, and secretly called the three envoys and Zhong Xuan, and asked Zhong Xuan to pretend to snore and deceive Chu Xiang.
Zhong Xuan is good at imitation, so he was taken by the Blood Knife Ancestor, and this time it finally came in handy.
After that, the Blood Knife Ancestor and the other nine people chased after the person who eavesdropped on the conversation and left the hotel, leaving only Zhong Xuan alone to confuse Xun Mengqi, but he didn't expect Chu Xiang to come directly through the window, Zhong Xuan had no way to go, and he had to pass through Xun Mengqi's room to take the stairs, he could only go out quickly and return to his room, and then tried to escape by jumping out of the window, but was caught by Chu Xiang.
……
After listening to Zhong Xuan's complaint, Xun Mengqi withdrew the flying needle and was finally able to move, but Zhong Xuan did not dare to take a step, and waited for Xun Mengqi's sentence anxiously.
"Let's go, I'll talk." Xun Mengqi said.
When Zhong Xuan heard this, he was pardoned, and he took three steps and two steps to escape the door, at this time Cui Yao frowned and asked, "Sect Master, do you know who is the person who eavesdropped outside the door?" ”
"Can make me and Chu Xiang mistake them for the masters of rats, and can arouse the interest of Gagu's pursuit, the only one who has such a big movement in the corridor but didn't go out to ask, is Wan Linglong!" Xun Mengqi speculated while recalling the content of the previous conversation with Chu Xiang, and really couldn't figure out why Wan Linglong was eavesdropping, could it be that all the previous enthusiasm was pretended? Is there another plan?
Hearing this, Chu Xiang quickly went out to Wan Linglong's room to investigate, and came back after a while to report that she was really gone!
Eavesdropping is a taboo in the rivers and lakes, Xun Mengqi's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and her heart was already full of anger, she thought that Wan Linglong would be a good helper, but she never expected her to do such a despicable thing, sure enough, the master's golden jade words, the hearts of the people in the world are the most unpredictable!
