Chapter 168: Dead
There is a rootless mountain between the Valley of Ecstasy and the White Bone Valley. Because the mountain is not rooted in the earth, it is suspended in the sky by clouds and mist, and the mountain stone vines are fluorescent at night, and they look like stars from a distance, so it is called Flying Star Mountain.
There is a pit on Feixing Mountain, and the sinkhole is right in the middle of the two peaks, as if a giant with a shovel has dug a huge deep pit at the top of the mountain. The cliff walls are lined with vines that glow blue, and they hang low to the bottom of the cliff, as if they are full of light curtains for the sinkhole. Looking down from the top of the mountain along the vines, the sinkhole is at least two or three hundred meters away, and the vegetation below is dense and fluorescent, like bright stars densely spread over the canopy, brilliant and gorgeous.
The inside of the sinkhole is very open, and near the cliff face, there is a small stream that flows to the other side, the water is crystal clear, and at the bottom there are fist-sized pebbles that exude multicolored brilliance. Near the bank of the creek is a large stone monument that glows with a faint blue glow.
The stele is two or three meters high, the fracture is uneven, and the surface is pitted, which can be seen that this is cut out casually. At the bottom of the stele is a man leaning against the stele in all directions, with a shackle on each of his hands and feet nailed to the stele. The man's hair was loose, the hair covered the low hanging head, and the clothes on his body were ragged, and through the tattered clothes, it was clear that there were blood marks on the inside.
Directly opposite the man, a man with a leather whip was looking at him with a disgusted expression, and said with a curse in his mouth: "I don't know what to lift, my young master has taken a fancy to what you have, and that's your honor." Isn't it hard to get rid of yourself, you are not afraid of death, but your brothers are tired! We will take turns to whip you, but it will take our strength. Aren't you saying you're harmful?"
"Hey, hey, hurry up, okay?"
As he spoke, the man with the whip stabbed the head of the tied man. The head of the kidnapped man shook a few times, and the hair covering his face shook a few times, revealing an angular face, but this face had been stained red with blood, adding a miserable look to this face. If Le Qianqian was here at this time, she would definitely recognize that this was her brother, Lehua.
Lehua spat a mouthful of blood weakly, and said with difficulty: "Phew, are you talking about human words? Lao Tzu didn't scream when you beat him, are you embarrassed to say tired?"
"Yo, the skin is itching again, isn't it!" The man holding the leather whip raised the leather whip and whipped it at Lehua a few more times, but when he heard the 'pop' sound, Lehua gritted his teeth and didn't shout.
A few whips went down, and the man with the leather whip snorted coldly and stopped.
Lehua laughed miserably and said: "Come on, come again, if Lao Tzu screams, Lao Tzu will have your surname." Lao Tzu told you that if Lao Tzu dies, the red fire and red lotus will be destroyed, and if you have the ability, you will come again, and Lao Tzu will see how you explain to your master. ”
"You !!" The man holding the leather whip raised the leather whip and was about to whip it a few more times, but the right hand that had just been raised stopped, and he sneered: "Okay, you are tough, right, we will arrest your sister later, I don't know if your sister is as hard as you." I heard that your sister is still a beauty, what do you think it will feel like if this whip falls on a beauty? ”
"You... You brute, if you come at me, what kind of hero are you to deal with my sister!" When Lehua heard this, he was anxious and hurriedly shouted.
"Poof~" This urgency affected the injuries in the body, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
When the man with the whip saw this, he knew that there was a play, and he laughed: "What? Do you want to hand it over? Don't, I'm still waiting for your sister to come, but we've been busy for a long time, so you have to make the brothers feel refreshed." ”
Lehua felt a lot of regret in his heart, if he hadn't been a little complacent about getting the Red Fire Red Lotus, he wouldn't have gotten into such a situation, he didn't care about himself, but he couldn't let his sister suffer too. The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and the more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became, and suddenly another mouthful of blood spurted out, and my eyes rolled and I fainted.
The man holding the leather whip was stunned for a moment, sighed and said, "Alas, it's too tight." If it is a little looser, he will hand it over if he can't say it. ”
Turning around and glancing at Ge Tailai and the others who were having fun not far away, he beckoned to the guards not far away, and lowered his voice: "Get some water to wake him up." ”
With that, he walked straight to Ge Tailai.
Ge Tailai was surrounded by a flock of warblers and swallows. These fat and thin women have done their best, all kinds of flattery, all kinds of coquettishness, and they can't wait to stick their bodies to his body. Ge Tailai was also very generous, happy, and appreciated all kinds of rare treasures, pill spirit stones. Unhappy, these women are also interested and avoid it.
At this moment, in addition to some entourage, there were also helpers he invited from the inner gate. His purpose was not only the Red Fire Red Lotus, but at the instigation of Jiang Xiaoer, he also stretched out his hand to Gu Sanqian.
The man with the leather whip walked up to Ge Tailai and reported: "Young master, that kid's bones are too hard, and he just refuses to hand them over." ”
Ge Tailai frowned, and said coldly: "You won't pay? Is it to raise you waste, are you eating idle food? Do you still want me to teach you?"
The man holding the leather whip said with a smiling face: "Young master, it's not that we can't help it. It's just that we don't dare to kill him, what if we kill him and destroy the Red Flame Red Lotus?"
Ge Tailai nodded and said, "That's right, if you kill him, it will be a wasted job." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Jiang Xiaoer beside him and said, "Jiang Xiaoer, didn't you say that your senior brother has a way?
Jiang Xiaoer smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Ge, please rest assured, my senior brother is coming." ”
Ge Tailai nodded and said, "You said that your senior brother would bring someone over, who did you bring?"
Jiang Xiaoer said: "Let's provoke Lehua, Le Qianqian will definitely not give up, she will definitely go to Gu Sanqian for help at this moment." The people brought by my senior brother are to contain this ancient three thousand. You just have to relax, this time we can not only help you get the Red Fire Red Lotus, but also vent the evil qi for you. ”
Ge Tailai glanced Jiang Xiaoer up and down a few times, and he sneered: "I know that you are using me to deal with Gu Sanqian, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can help me get the Red Fire Red Lotus this time, and you can take out this evil breath for me, I don't care if you use me." But if you can't do it, hum, then don't blame me for being unkind, I'm not so easy to use. ”
Jiang Xiaoer was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Ge Tailai to see his purpose, his eyes rolled around, and he said with a smile: "Young Master Ge, where are you talking about?" Our purpose is the same, right? Helping you, that's also helping ourselves. Of course, you have to work harder on your own affairs, right? Well, I'll go and see if my senior brother is here, you wait a while. ”
Ge Tailai nodded, and Jiang Xiaoer walked towards the top of the sinkhole. After Jiang Xiaoer walked a little distance, Ge Tailai said to an inner disciple not far away: "Senior Brother Shen, please follow and have a look, lest he play any tricks." ”
Senior Brother Shen nodded and followed.
Jiang Xiaoer sneered in his heart as he climbed towards the top of the sinkhole: "What kind of thing? Do you really think you are a green onion? If you don't still have use value, I will take care of you? Are you really one of your dogs?"
After a short time, Jiang Xiaoer climbed to the top of the sinkhole, and went straight up the mountain road all the way up. On the top of the mountain, there is a person standing, it is Tian Dacheng. He put his hands behind his back and looked down. Suddenly, Tian Dacheng felt a movement behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw Jiang Xiaoer.
"Can't hold it back?
Jiang Xiaoer snorted coldly and said, "That Ge Tailai is really used to being arrogant and arrogant towards me. I really couldn't get used to it, so I found a chance to come up and have a look. How's your preparation going?"
Tian Dacheng nodded and said: "These children of the family are indeed used to it, and they don't know how thick the sky is when they infiltrate the sect with the power of their family. But in the final analysis, he is also a second ancestor, so there is nothing to worry about. Besides, without these people, my plans wouldn't have gone so smoothly. ”
Jiang Xiaoer nodded and said, "It's up to him, senior brother, don't talk about me, what he can do, he can do it with a few people." Are you overestimating him?"
Tian Dacheng smiled slightly: "Is it? You can do it with just a few? ”
Jiang Xiaoer asked puzzledly: "Senior brother, you can tell me about it, and let me have a long experience." ”
Tian Dacheng glanced down at the surroundings of the sinkhole, only to see a faint figure flashing around the sinkhole, he nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, there is still some time to arrange the surroundings, so I'll tell you why he is so young." ”
Jiang Xiaoer took a few steps forward excitedly, dusted the dust on the ground with his sleeve, and signaled, "Senior brother, sit down, sit down and say!"
Tian Dacheng was not polite, sat down, and Jiang Xiaoer sat opposite.
Tian Dacheng said slowly: "Ge Tailai is a member of the Ge family, and the Ge family has many elders in the Heavenly Sect. Some of these elders supported Ge Kai, and some supported Ge Tailai.
I heard before that Ge Kai was seriously injured and almost lost his life during the entrance exam, so Ge Tailai entered the sect instead of him, but Ge Tailai is an idle and unenterprising person, so he has been staying in the outer gate until now.
But even so, those who supported him still supported him. What do you think will happen to these elders if he dies?"
Jiang Xiaoer's eyes lit up and said, "You mean these elders will retaliate!"
Tian Dacheng said: "That's right! This is also a dark move that I left behind. Basically, you won't use it. However, this calculation is about calculating the best and preparing for the worst. ”
After hearing this, Jiang Xiaoer couldn't help but be even more curious: "Hearing you say this, do you have other calculations?"
Tian Dacheng laughed angrily at Jiang Xiaoer's words: "Jiang Xiaoer, Jiang Xiaoer, you have been with me for so long, why haven't you grown at all?
Jiang Xiaoer laughed twice and said, "I can see a little bit, but there are many things I still don't understand." ”
Tian Dacheng said: "Tell me." ”
Jiang Xiaoer thought for a while and said, "Before, we found someone to ambush Yuan Wenjin and let Yuan Wenjin escape......
Before he finished speaking, Tian Dacheng stopped him and explained: "It's not that he escaped, but that I deliberately let him go." ”
Jiang Xiaoer was stunned, and said: "Then Xiahou Kui and Liu Kang also did it on purpose, injuring one and catching the other?"
As he spoke, his gaze kept wandering over Tian Dacheng's face, and seeing that Tian Dacheng did not refute, he continued, "The purpose of arresting people is to lure Gu Sanqian here, and then we will set up an ambush here to take him down in one fell swoop." ”
Tian Dacheng nodded: "It's a little interesting, but it's not entirely right." You know, people's hearts are the most difficult to predict, and I have to test it, so I start with Yuan Wenjin. Yuan Wenjin was his friend before he came to ask Tianzong, and sure enough, Yuan Wenjin and he didn't disappoint me. As for Xiahou Kui and Liu Kang, if he didn't even care about Yuan Wenjin, then Xiahou Kui and Liu Kang would be of no use. Naturally, I had a back-up plan to deal with him. But he cared about these people, and it saved me a lot of trouble.
Since he cares about these people, it's all easy. I released the news to let him know that Lehua was arrested by me, and Liu Kang disappeared in Feixing Mountain again, so he would definitely come.
Bringing him here is only the first step. You know, how many people did our Seven Star Sect send to assassinate him during this time? But all of them are missing. Have you thought about it? If he comes, what are we going to do with him?"
Jiang Xiaoer suddenly said: "I see, I'm still curious, why did Senior Brother spend a huge amount of money to arrange the Seven-Star Killing Array here? It turns out that there is this layer of relationship in it." ”
Tian Dacheng nodded and said, "Why did you choose here, it is also because this is the most suitable location to arrange the Seven Star Killing Array." However, I hope I don't need it, after all, the consumption of this seven-star killing array is too great. ”
Jiang Xiaoer nodded and said, "This is also the reason why Senior Brother went to invite Liu Xiang here!"
Tian Dacheng nodded and said, "Liu Xiang's strength has reached the eighth level of the human immortal realm, the realm of tribulations. In addition, after he came back from the White Bone Valley, he hated Gu Sanqian so much, so I took advantage of it, and I also hoped to avoid the consumption of the Seven Star Killing Array. ”
Jiang Xiaoer said excitedly: "Senior brother, you are really terrifying. This link is linked to a ring, and such a dead end has been set, he Gu Sanqian is afraid that it will be difficult to fly today, I really admire you too much. ”
Tian Dacheng shook his head and said, "There is no problem with all this, the problem is Gu Sanqian." I can't see through this man, and even though I've set up such a dead end, I'm still a little worried. So, I left a dark piece. If we fail, there is also this move that will work. ”
"Speaking of which, you should know how important you are?"
Jiang Xiaoer hurriedly nodded and said, "I know, I know, I'll go down and continue to instigate Ge Tailai, if Gu Sanqian comes, I'll let them kill each other again." ”
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Not far away, there was a sudden clapping of applause, and along with this clapping, another person walked out, and he walked towards Tian Dacheng and Jiang Xiaoer, and said with a smile: "It's really wonderful! This series of calculations is really admirable." ”
