Chapter 316: Man-Eating Flower
A few days ago was Ye Dingzhong's birthday, and after the banquet in the evening, the secretary sent Ye Dingzhong home. When he arrived at the door, he saw Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling was dressed in white and stood at the door of the house with a box in his hand. Ye Dingzhong hadn't seen her for nearly 20 years, and although his feelings for Zhang Ling had long been let go, he was still a little panicked.
"How did you get here?" Ye Dingzhong tried his best to make his voice sound steady.
"The sect leader gave you a birthday gift, let me bring it to you." Zhang Ling's voice was very weak, which Ye Dingzhong couldn't imagine.
"Why did the Regional God Sect send you, the hall master of the Medicine Spirit Hall, to deliver something? You and I have not had anything to do in the Three Treasures Palace, you and I have not had anything to do with each other for 20 years, so there should be something going on with your visit today. Ye Dingzhong said in one word.
"I want to see my daughter." Zhang Ling looked at Ye Dingzhong, as if he had mustered up the courage to say it.
"What? See my daughter? What did you do earlier? Want to see your daughter now? Ye Dingzhong said to Zhang Ling in disbelief.
"Dingzhong, I'm dying, I want to see my daughter more before I die."
"What? What happened to you? Ye Dingzhong said in a panic.
"I have tried the medicine many times for the development of the elixir, and it should have been fine, but in recent years, my body has become weaker and weaker, after all, it is a three-point poison of medicine, and the toxicity in my body is accumulated over time, coupled with my overwork day and night, which has caused today's situation."
Zhang Ling's face was pale, and he had lost a lot of weight, and wearing this white dress at night was indeed not a ghost. Ye Dingzhong didn't know whether to believe her or not, but seeing her now, she had to cough for a while when she said a few words, which was really bad compared to her body.
"Let's find another place, stand here and don't let anyone else see it." Ye Dingzhong turned his head and walked out as he spoke, he said that he wanted to avoid suspicion, but he still looked at her haggard appearance, and he was reluctant.
The two talked for most of the night, and finally Ye Dingzhong agreed to let Zhang Ling visit his daughter, but not in the name of his mother, he could arrange for Zhang Ling to enter the Ye Mansion as a nanny. Zhang Ling reluctantly agreed.
But things are not as easy as Ye Dingzhong imagined, after Zhang Ling entered the Ye house, Ye Dingzhong often asked Ye Xinling to come back to accompany him, so that Zhang Ling could see his daughter more. One day, Ye Xinling left Ye Mansion and returned to Jiangcheng, Zhang Ling came to Ye Dingzhong and said that he was going back.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to see your daughter? Is there something wrong with your body? Ye Dingzhong said with concern.
"Yes, I need to go back and rest and write the day, and by the way, see if I can refine some elixir to alleviate some of it." Zhang Ling said weakly.
"Well, I'll send someone to take you back tomorrow."
That night, Ye Dingzhong couldn't sleep for a long time, and he didn't know what was wrong with him, "Are you still thinking about Zhang Ling?" Ye Dingzhong couldn't sleep, so he got up and wanted to go outside to take a breath. As he was going down the stairs, he suddenly saw a figure flashing past, it was Zhang Ling. "What is she doing when she doesn't sleep?" Ye Dingzhong followed Zhang Ling behind.
He found that Zhang Ling had walked into the basement, which had been abandoned for many years and no one had ever entered it. Ye Dingzhong suspected that Zhang Ling was going to do something again, so he got closer. But Zhang Ling looked behind him keenly and saw him at once. As soon as Ye Dingzhong saw that his deeds were revealed, he no longer hid. He walked into Zhang Ling's side and looked at her with a scrutinizing face.
"Zhang Ling, what are you going to do?"
"I didn't expect to be found by you on the last day, should I cry or laugh?" Zhang Ling said helplessly, and took Ye Dingzhong to the basement.
Ye Dingzhong walked into the basement and was taken aback. It's not a deserted and dilapidated place, it's full of flowers, and it's all about people from the regional gods.
"What's going on?" Ye Dingzhong turned his head and asked Zhang Ling.
"This is what the sect leader ordered them to come, I don't know what to do, it seems that it is because Ye Zhai's spiritual power is full, and he wants to use the spiritual energy here to cultivate these rare flowers to make elixir."
"So, you said that you are highly poisoned, and you miss your daughter are all fake?" Ye Dingzhong stared at Zhang Ling and asked rhetorically.
"No, it's not. I'm telling the truth, except that I'm here partly to take care of the flowers. After all, they were used as elixirs, and I knew them best in the entire Cult of the Regions. ”
"Okay, don't explain, I really shouldn't believe you, the most important thing in your heart is always those broken flowers and grass, when do you really think about your daughter?" After Ye Dingzhong finished speaking, he turned around and left, as for these flowers and plants, he didn't have the heart to care about them at all.
"Dingzhong, Dingzhong!" Zhang Ling said and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof".
"Zhang Ling, are you okay, hurry, I'll help you back to the house." Seeing this, Ye Dingzhong wanted to help Zhang Ling, but Zhang Ling waved his hand.
"I'll go back to the Regional God Sect with them later, it will help me recover my body, Dingzhong, I hid this matter from you, but I really miss my daughter." Zhang Ling leaned on Ye Dingzhong's arms and said, Ye Dingzhong looked at her, and his heart was very uncomfortable.
"Then you go back and pay more attention to your body." After Ye Dingzhong finished speaking, the people of the Regional God Sect came out and left with Zhang Ling.
Ye Dingzhong was full of melancholy, still thinking about Zhang Ling in his heart, and worried about her safety, so he ignored the few flowers planted in the basement by the Regional God Sect.
Half a month later, several bizarre things happened in Ye's house. The dogs and cats raised at home have all disappeared mysteriously, and they didn't find out of the gate when they checked the prison, so they were still in the Ye Mansion. Later, all the dogs and cats in Ye's house were gone, which attracted Ye Dingzhong's attention. He ordered all the people to search the hundreds of hectares of Ye family's garden, but to no avail. Later, the housekeeper said that there was a deserted basement that he had not found, and that he would send someone to search it again tomorrow. Only then did Ye Dingzhong remember that there was also the elixir of the Regional God Sect in it. He was so busy every day that he had long forgotten about it, so Ye Dingzhong went to the basement alone that night. When he walked down the steps, Ye Dingzhong smelled a strong smell of blood. He had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, when I walked in, there were a pile of bones next to it, which seemed to be the missing cats and dogs in the Ye House. Ye Dingzhong scolded them loudly and asked them to move all these flowers, but no one listened to him, as if everyone here treated him as air.
Ye Dingzhong found the leader of the Regional God Sect on the second day, "Sect Master, I can ignore you if you went to the Ye family to cultivate those flowers without my permission, after all, you and I have been friends for so many years, but they harm lives and mutilate living beings, I don't know how the cats and dogs in my house died, but it must have something to do with the flowers and plants you raised." They're completely red now, completely different from the first time I saw them. Although I am not a cultivator, I also know a little about your affairs, and I still hope that you can keep your subordinates away from my Ye Mansion.
"Mr. Ye, your house is the most suitable for breeding these man-eating flowers."
"Cannibal flowers? What are you doing? Ye Dingzhong questioned.
"Don't ask what you do, for the sake of your and my many years of friendship, I can let you go. If any other outsider had seen it, I would have killed him, because it was the top secret of the Regional God Cult. The sect leader threatened Ye Dingzhong with a ruthless expression.
Ye Dingzhong is just a businessman, how can he resist this person who has lived for an unknown amount of time? And how could he fight against the Regional God Cult alone?
Ye Dingzhong returned home in despair but didn't know what to do, and the housekeeper hurriedly went upstairs to inform him that two of the servants in the house were missing.
"What? Missing? Ye Dingzhong immediately thought of what was going on. Has anyone else found out? ”
"Not yet." The housekeeper replied.
"Okay, keep this matter under control, and I'll find a way to solve it."
It was dark outside at night, Ye Dingzhong walked into the basement again, he wanted to know if the two servants died here, although he knew the answer in his heart, Ye Dingzhong was still unsure.
He walked in, and the flowers inside seemed to be brighter red and more dazzling than the last time. Ye Dingzhong was somehow creepy, compared to these are man-eating flowers, the stamens in the petals have turned purple-red, and the flower trunk is full of flower branches, stretching outward like a hand, flamboyant, they are swimming in the air, as if looking for some target.
Ye Dingzhong stood there, and the busy people inside still regarded him as air. He didn't expect that one day there would be so many big Buddhas in the basement of his house. He continued to walk inside, the man-eating flower seemed to sense his breath, and a flower branch actually stretched out towards him, Ye Dingzhong hurriedly retreated, and almost tripped to the ground.
Just as the branch was about to touch him, someone shouted: "Stop, stand down!" The branch shrank back, and then Chen Yuan walked over.
"Chen Yuan? So you also have a part in this matter? Ye Dingzhong said. He has known Chen Yuan for many years, and this person is cowardly and timid on the surface, but he is very insidious and cunning. Ye Dingzhong would try to avoid contact with him, but the Ye clan cooperated frequently with the Regional Divine Sect, and Chen Yuan often contacted him, and slowly the two became familiar with each other.
"Mr. Ye, don't step into this basement in the future, it's easy to lose your life."
"Lost your life? Like my cats and dogs and my two servants. They're people, and if they're missing, the police will intervene, so what are you going to do? Ye Dingzhong said in a panic.
"What should I do? This is your home, and this kind of thing happened in your house, and you asked me to do this? "I hope you can fix this."
"Resolved? Two people were killed by you, and I'll solve it? Besides, it's human life, how do you want me to solve it? ”
"Mr. Ye underestimated himself, your business is doing so well, what kind of wind and waves have you never seen? Isn't it just two lives? ”
