Chapter 165: Stealing Beams and Changing Pillars and Obtaining Intelligence
There is a lot of water in the pot, and it takes half a day to stew a whole person.
When the flames licked the bottom of the pot and hissed, the greed in Miao Xiangwen's eyes became more and more intense, and he couldn't wait to swallow his saliva and suck another sip of warm soup.
"I've been storing medicinal herbs for a long time, and I was going to stew ginseng soup. King Xiling blessed, sent you two fat sheep! ”
I lay on the ground limp and said weakly, "I'm dying, but I don't want to be a fool." ”
"You and I have no grievances, why do you want to poison me?"
When people are in great sorrow and joy, their preparedness is the most lax, and Miao Xiangwen is no exception.
He actually crossed Erlang's legs, lazily lying in a wheelchair, and asked quite proudly, "You really want to know?" ”
"Please explain."
My humble attitude made Miao Xiangwen particularly satisfied.
As everyone knows, sitting on Mo Ruchu's body is like fish meat on a chopping board, as long as I blink, he will be shot into a hornet's nest.
Miao Xiangwen said slowly: "Actually, I can't bear to kill you." ”
"But who let you two be walking elixirs, I look at them and I can't wait to swallow them in one bite!"
"It's a good thing you met me first, and if I get caught by those guys in the market town, I won't even be able to catch a mouthful of soup."
When Miao Xiangwen looked at me, the greed in his eyes made me feel extremely disgusted.
However, the "elixir" and "market town" he mentioned are extremely key clues.
I asked, "Why do you call me the 'elixir of life'?" ”
Miao Xiangwen licked his lips, "Fifty years ago, the Xiling Forbidden Land was opened once, and a group of people from the outside world broke in. Among them were men and women, old and young. ”
"Although it looks exactly like us. But all of them exude an alluring fragrance. ”
"There is a bold old man, who caught an outsider and ate it, but the old skin on his body faded away, and the whole person rose a few inches out of thin air, returning to the appearance of about thirty years old!"
"Since then, whenever anyone from outside intrudes on our territory, they will be caught and eaten."
"Anyone who has eaten outsiders can live for more than 200 years, and if they eat two, they can live for 400 years!"
As he spoke, Miao Xiangwen couldn't help but swallow his saliva and began to slowly stir the bubbling soup pot with a wooden stick.
Fifty years ago, when the Xiling boundary gate was opened during the burial of Mount Kinabalu, it seems that many people broke into it.
What Miao Xiangwen described should be what happened at that time.
But I don't understand, we are all human races, we are exactly the same as Miao Xiangwen's body structure, why can we live longer if we eat it?
I asked again: "When you mentioned the 'market town' just now, does it mean that there are Xiling people living here, and why do you live here alone?" ”
Miao Xiangwen snorted coldly, "My parents have done murder and stealing goods, and they drove me out of the market town and can only live in such a remote place. ”
Immediately, Miao Xiangwen was a little puzzled and said, "You are dying, why are you still asking these?" ”
"Just curious."
It is estimated that Miao Xiangwen's patience has reached the extreme, and I finally asked: "Is there any way to make the people of Xiling unable to recognize us as outsiders?" ”
"Heh, isn't it too late to ask this now?"
The sarcasm in Miao Xiangwen's eyes was self-evident, and I replied calmly: "Seekers, it is enough to die at the end of the day." It's never too late to see the truth. ”
"You're such a weird man."
Miao Xiangwen shook his head, but he still answered my questions.
"Among the people of Xiling, there are witches and goddesses who walk in the mountains and forests, have no names and no surnames, and serve the gods, and you pretend to be them, and you may be able to get through."
"But you have a special smell on you, and if you get close, it's hard to hide."
I stood up and clenched my fists, "Thanks for the answer." ”
Miao Xiangwen was shocked, "How did you solve the Gu poison!?" ”
"Because we weren't poisoned at all."
Murong Changqing walked out from the back of the house where he was hiding, and said with a cold face: "If you don't do it yet, what are you waiting for?" ”
Miao Xiangwen subconsciously wanted to get up, the backrest of the wheelchair and the armrests on both sides popped out the iron cable, locking his neck and hands.
"Big brother, it's done!"
The clay pot had already been boiled, and when the sika deer's head rolled out of the sack, Miao Xiangwen understood something in a trance, and his face suddenly turned sallow.
The defeat was decided, and seeing me slowly stepping forward with a dagger, he trembled and finally struggled: "Don't you still have a lot of doubts about Xiling." ”
"Spare my life, I'll tell you everything!"
I ignored it, and smashed the handle of the knife on the back of his head with an expressionless face, and Miao Xiangwen rolled his eyelids and passed out.
"Big brother, how did he deal with it?"
"Tie it up, I'll have another use."
……
After taking out the sika deer, change a pot of water, peel the skin to drive away the internal organs, and put on the various seasonings and medicinal materials prepared by Miao Xiangwen.
When the water is boiled, the delicious flavor rushes straight to the nostrils, and it is many times stronger than grilled meat.
Murong Changqing and I sat by the pot, scooping up the delicious venison, and for the first time in the dangerous Xiling forbidden land, I felt a little comfortable.
Miao Xiangwen stuffed strips of cloth in his mouth, tied up like a rice dumpling, and threw it not far from him, and after waking up, he glared at us viciously with a pair of scarlet eyes.
After eating and drinking, Murong Changqing held a bowl of venison soup and drank it without a sip.
"It's pointless for you to force two pieces of information to come up with such a hard work."
"If you want me to say, just catch him directly, and use my unique secret Gu technique to torture him to extract a confession, and ensure that he can tell everything he knows."
I asked, "How do you know he's going to tell us the truth?" ”
"This ......"
Murong Changqing was stunned for a moment.
When I first came to the Xiling Forbidden Land, I tried to judge Miao Xiangwen with Qi Observation Technique, thinking that he was a person with a pure heart.
But he never thought that he was greedy, cunning, insidious and vicious.
Since then, I have known that the physiognomy and qi observation techniques that I have learned all my life will not work in Xiling.
In the case that it is impossible to judge the authenticity with the Qi Observation Technique, once Miao Xiangwen deliberately designs to harm us, it will be a catastrophe.
Anything that came out of his mouth could not be believed.
At least now, we know that there are still market towns inhabited in Xiling, and how to hide in disguise......
At dusk, I extinguished the campfire, dried the remaining minced meat, and collected it in a bag.
Murong Changqing took out the dagger on his waist and glanced coldly at Miao Xiangwen who was lying on the ground, "Since he is useless, do you need me to help dispose of it?" ”
"No, it's useful for him to keep it."
It was almost dark, and I erected a pillar outside the kitchen wall, and after tying Miao Xiangwen up strongly, I immediately returned to the house and locked the three wooden doors.
Murong Changqing and I hid in the kitchen, observing Miao Xiangwen's condition through the two holes drilled by the black worm yesterday.
Miao Xiangwen, who had been tied up for a day, was already blackened by this time, his lips were shriveled and dehydrated, and he was drowning all over his body, which made him look particularly embarrassed.
Through the thin aperture of my little finger, I could see that the remnant sun in the west was approaching the horizon, and the peaceful scene of the daytime had receded cleanly with the last rays of daylight......
The moment the sun set, a thick mist and cold breath suddenly poured out of the forest, and the denser the forest, the thicker the fog miasma.
Even if my eyes could break through the delusion, I could only see less than fifty meters away in such a large fog miasma.
The moment the fog miasma rose, Miao Xiangwen, who was unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes, and his exhausted body began to struggle frantically.
When I saw him writhing his limbs like crazy and the knots creaking, I was a little worried that he would break free from the rope and run away.
Mo Ruchu on the side seemed to see my worries, and patted the back of the chair with the armrest and promised: "Big brother, don't worry, the rope is still mixed with steel wire, unless he breaks his hands and feet, he will definitely not be able to break free." ”
After a while, Miao Xiangwen's wrists and ankles were scratched into flesh and blood, and he finally lost his strength, and spit out the gagged rags with his last breath, and screamed: "Please, don't leave me alone!" ”
"Whatever you want to know, I'm willing to say! I swear absolutely every sentence is true. ”
"Please, okay!"
……
The cries and pleadings are particularly harsh, but there is no need to have any mercy against people like Miao Xiangwen who poison us and release cold arrows!
