Chapter 904: Tracing the Trail
Xuanwu City is backed by the vast 100,000 mountains, the momentum is magnificent, and what the 10,000 mountain cities say is true. The miasma in the valley is thick, and it is drilled in the moist valley bottom of the transpiring mist all the year round, and the grass and trees inside grow wildly, and it has always been favored by people from all walks of life, not only good wood and medicinal herbs, but also a blessed land for cultivation, so there have always been people from both good and evil factions, and it can be regarded as a place to fight.
Now the control of Xuanwu City has become the focus of the competition between the two forces, and this elixir valley has been entrenched in recent days are all monks who refine poisonous insects, both good and evil, quite a vision, attracting the attention of many decent people.
In the guest building of Xuanwu City, representatives of the four major families and factions gathered, Nie Qingge was sleepless in the Tianzi room, his red tongue of fire swallowed and exhaled, snaking up on his shoulders, and sweat rolled down his skin.
He remembered what had happened in the past few days.
If the elixir valley is lost, the offensive and defensive positions of the two sides will be different in the future, and the position of the righteous people will become extremely passive, so the elixir valley asked for help this time, and the righteous people all rushed to it, and he was also ordered by the elders to lead the city to meet with other families.
But I didn't want to, something happened along the way, and now it's not so much that they want to encircle and suppress this demon cult villain, but that they let people lead the nose away.
Since entering the city, no trace of the Demon Sect has been discovered, but the righteous people are panicked, and they have suffered a lot.
Nie Qingge frowned to recuperate from his injuries, and the candlestick shook fiercely - there was someone outside the house!
He hurriedly got up, saw a thicker light and shadow flashing in the black mist of the night, and quickly held his breath and tiptoed against the door.
Strange footsteps and voices are faintly heard.
"Head Six, Head Six!" The visitor cleared his throat and tapped lightly on the board, and if he didn't listen carefully, he thought it was a woodpecker's movement.
The voice continued for a moment, and soon a response was heard.
"It's me."
With a kick, after the two of them exchanged the code, their voices went down.
Nie Qingge calmed down, if he made his own move, it would not be difficult to hold these two people, but he knew that the Demon Sect acted sneakily, and he would not easily fall into the hands of others, if he made a move, it was likely to startle the snake, so he resisted the impulse and turned his hand to suppress the circulation in the air, so that he could hear more clearly. Following the sound of footsteps, Nie Qingge walked all the way along the wall of the Tianzi room to a deep alleyway.
In Xuanwu City, such buildings and lanes are very common.
It seemed that someone was indeed plotting against him, Nie Qingge turned his hand and stretched out his palm, and poked out a light-colored inch-long short sword from his sleeve. His lips twitched, urging the spell, his face sank, and a trace of steam came out of his body, but he couldn't urge the sword talisman as he wished. However, the breath wandering on his body suddenly became chaotic, wandering freely all over his body, and after a while, his right shoulder felt a faint pain.
Nie Qingge was shocked that this was Gu poison.
He carefully flipped open his shirt, two fingers against the skin and slowly moved, after feeling a trace of throbbing, he was surprised to find that the dark brown blood marks actually spread, as he urged the mana, the body was almost about to bloom, from the shoulder all the way to the heart. Nie Qingge gasped, this was really weird, with his mana and natural endowment, he wouldn't be poisoned by this little Gu. But unexpectedly, this thing seems to be stronger than expected, not only can he not eliminate the poison, but as soon as he uses his mana, he will be counterattacked.
How to solve this strange Gu poison?
Nie Qingge ran out of ideas, and when he was at a loss, the two seemed to quarrel outside the house.
ββ¦β¦ You don't listen to the words of the saint, you are crazy! β
"You idiot! Now is your chance! They're all here, this is our chassis, as long as the inside and the outside are togetherβ"
"Bastard! Is now the time to do such a thing? Listen to the saints, and the above is free to arrange ......"
"It doesn't matter so much! There's never been a better time to do it! β
The words of the two made Nie Qingge a little concerned, and when he heard that one of them couldn't bear the patience and was about to do it, although he still had injuries on his body, he still decided to fight. Nie Qingge urged the law to make a move, how could the riot between the two be stopped, and the momentary tranquility made him frown slightly--could it be, he was exposed......
However, before he could think about it, another vague shadow came out of the night, and he saw the candle flame in the room beating suddenly, and a blur in front of him, and heard another voice with a slight vicissitudes of life:
"What are you two doing? Go as planned! β
"Yes......"
As soon as the two people who were arguing heard this voice, they all cooled down.
Nie Qingge held down the law decision in his hand, and saw three figures shuttling through the night, obviously about to leave the guest room, he hesitated for a moment, turned off the light, and quietly followed the two.
These three figures passed through Xuanwu City, and walked through the streets and alleys of the city, very skillfully, and in a short time they found a path from the cliff side of the city gate. At first, Nie Qingge thought that these few were just minions, neither knew how to resist swords, nor had any strength, so he walked slowly, but before he arrived at the secret passage, he realized that the three of them were hiding people's eyes and ears.
From this secret passage, a winding mountain road connects the back side of Xuanwu Mountain, which goes straight into the towering clouds and mist, and there is no way out, and once you step into it, you can't see the way out.
This is the Elixir Valley.
Elixir Valley is a sect that gathers in the area of Xuanwu City, and there are many strange people inside, although there are some friendships with the Great Elder Nie Han, but the people of the Middle Gate act strangely, both good and evil, and they do not interact with the other three major families on weekdays, and they are summoned to resist the Demon Sect at this time, which has also attracted a lot of speculation.
And now, these people with strange whereabouts and strange behaviors are actually well versed in the big and small passages of this Xuanwu City, and even went all the way to the Elixir Valley, and they are very skilled in moving straight in this intoxicating fog, which can't help but make Nie Qingge suspicious.
In addition to finding out their identities, what he was more concerned about was Linlang's situation at this time. He knew that after he was poisoned, Linlang should take action. Although the evil taste of Heavenly Dao was not perceptible, Nie Qingge also seemed to recognize the evil taste in it, and this time, he decided to take the initiative.
However, as soon as he stepped into the valley, he realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
There was a sudden pain in his shoulder, he hurriedly tore open his shirt, saw pus gurgling out of the wound, and felt a tingling sensation in his arm, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose - in this thick mist, I was afraid that there was some ambush.
As soon as he thought of this, Nie Qingge raised his eyes to look at the past, and only then did he realize that he had lost it.
He hurriedly turned his head and stepped on a crispy wooden branch, with a "cluck", a sharp whistling sound sounded around him, accompanied by a sneer and whistle with a cough, Nie Qingge only felt that there was a strong wind coming from the originally silent surroundings.
ββββββββββββββββ
Xuanwu City, guest building.
The next morning, the representatives of the three major families who gathered for the first time were in a mess, and the most panicked one was Nie Qinghe.
It turned out that something big happened that night, and among the traveling disciples who stayed in this guest room for a night, representing the interests of several major families, the seven corpses were divided into forty-four sections, and after waking up in the morning, the strong smell of blood permeated the air, and the little two of the guest building bumped into it, and before waiting for the official, it was temporarily controlled.
Those who escaped for a while were the elites of the major families.
After simply counting the number of people, the spearhead was actually aimed at Nie Qinghe. It turned out that the Nie family also had an accident the night before, and Nie Qingge, as the number one representative, disappeared quietly, leaving neither a message nor a trace. Among the disciples who died violently, there was naturally no him, and no one in the entire store knew his whereabouts.
It's been overthought in this matter.
"Isn't it ...... It's the people of the Nie family who are guarding and stealing, right? β
The rumors spread quickly, not to mention that the people were panicked, and the elites of several families got together, and it was inevitable that they would be suspicious of each other, especially at this juncture.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Nie Qinghe was furious when he heard this: "Qingge, he is definitely not this kind of person!" β
"There is no evidence, you want him to come out and confront us!" It was proposed.
This is like a hot pan exploding oil, and suddenly there are cries everywhere, asking Nie Qinghe to hand it over. Nie Qinghe was also like an ant on a hot pot, he was in a hurry, and asked him to hand over Nie Qingge, isn't this a joke - he himself doesn't know where this guy went.
Seeing that he did not hand over anyone, some people started to coax:
"You see, he really can't hand it over. In my opinion, Bacheng was done by this glamorous guy, he must have secretly colluded with the Demon Sect and took advantage of the chaos to harm our senior brothers! β
At first, this was just a speculation, but with the help of everyone, after a while, "Nie Qingge's murder" has almost become an established fact, and the condemnation of Nie Qinghe is no longer "handing over", but asking him to atone for his crimes.
"A bunch of maniacs." Nie Qinghe flicked his sleeves and wanted to leave, where were these young and vigorous elites who were leaderless and young and vigorous willing to let go, surrounded him, questioned Nie Qingge's whereabouts, and even denounced their sect and wanted to "clean up the portal".
While arguing, the window swished, only to hear a "tu" sound, a bouquet of plum-like darts nailed to the doorpost, and everyone was stunned for a while.
The next moment, there was a thud on the dart, and a cold blue mist was dispersed.
"Not good! They got their hands dirty! Cover your breath! Someone exclaimed, realizing that the mist was probably poisonous.
"Damn, how dare you come to the door!" Everyone covered their snorts and scolded: "It's not a small guts, I have to let them go around today if they can't eat!" β
In the midst of a shout, the paper door was torn open, and an old man with drooping hair walked in, with a long beard and half curled, which could have been dragged to the ground if it were not wrapped around his waist.
Seeing that his beard was white, his face was ruddy, and his eyebrows were slightly frowning on one side of the two ears of wheat, he reached out and rolled up his beard, and suddenly said, "Everyone, calm down." β
As soon as these words came out, the entire guest room shook for a while, and it was as bold as an earthquake. Nie Qinghe was well-informed and knew that this was a lion's roar from a calm mana, but it was rare to see someone who could release it so purely, out of Nie Qingge and Great Elder Nie Han, he rarely saw such a skill.
Sure enough, in the face of such a demonstration, everyone set up magic weapons one after another and waited for it.
It's just that the old man smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, let go." β
As soon as the word "let go" came out, the magic weapons in everyone's hands shook one after another. The expressions on their faces were unbelievable, and in front of this strange old man, none of them had the strength to fight back. Nie Qinghe barely stood firm, and when he saw the old man's costume, he suddenly remembered something, hurriedly stood up respectfully, arched his hand, and said, "It turns out that Your Excellency is the Immortal Medicine King of the Elixir Valley-Huangqi Huang Immortal Master!" Offend! β
As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked sideways, still in disbelief:
"He is the valley master of the Elixir Valley, Huang Qi??"
