Chapter 50: The Death of the Great Elder II

"He stayed at my house for a supper that day before leaving, and his appetite is much bigger than that of you, brother!" said the old boss and laughed, it seemed that he not only had a good appetite, but was also in a good mood.

Yan Chonghu said with a smile: "To eat a princess in one bite, it is indeed amazingly big." ”

Long Yingtian cut a piece of venison into his mouth, "I heard that the slave girls on Potts Island are very famous, but unfortunately I have never seen it with my own eyes, let alone know what it tastes like, it's a pity." ”

Yan Chonghu said: "General, we have to consult the Minister of State about this matter." ”

Not only did these colleagues eat happily, but they also began to talk about women, and seemed to have forgotten that they were in great trouble at the moment. This banquet is a good feast, but I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the general's gourd.

Zheng Kuan smiled, didn't respond to the two of them, and continued to say to Xia Quan: "When I had supper, I talked to him about Zedi. Brother, you should remember that the last time the hunters caught that eagle slave was in Karaz. ”

Xia Quan nodded: "Remember, it's in that Snake City." ”

"Yes, the god of the swamp, ahh Geze told me that the newly emerging Three-Armed Demon Cult in Zedi has its lair in Karaz. ”

Long Yingtian snorted coldly: "What swamp god, three-armed god, these are all false claims of infidels, and they are all evil demons. There is only one true God. ”

"The general is right. The three-armed demon wanted to compete with the snake demon for believers, and actually established a religion in Karaz. Geizer said that his father was very angry, but Karaz belonged to the province of Nishizawa and was not on their territory, so Greyscale had the idea of attacking Nishizawa. ”

"It's just an excuse for the green-skinned monster. Yan Chonghu, who chewed slowly, finally eliminated the last piece of lamb leg meat.

"Yes, at this time, I happened to meet the Wasteland Eagle Slave to send a secret letter, the wasteland, the plain land, and the high mountain land, and the three plans to raise troops at the same time, and the gray scale started the war. Without the letter of the eagle slave, he would not dare to provoke trouble and raise troops with 10,000 dares. ”

Long Yingtian sneered and said, "It's just that Gray Scale didn't expect that the mountain giant sold them. As soon as His Majesty's army arrived, he symbolically resisted for a few days and decided to surrender. ”

Zheng Kuan said: "Of course, where are they His Majesty's opponents. It is wise to surrender, and they can only thank His Majesty for the grace of now. ”

The table of people talking about it, the more they talked, the farther and farther they went, and it had nothing to do with today's topic at all.

"A little cult in the middle of nowhere, I didn't pay much attention to it. But since I talked to Geze, I asked a few more questions, it turned out that there was a group of black people living in the city of Karaz. ”

Zheng Kuan ate while talking, his mouth was full of food, he spoke very slowly, and he was a little vague, but Xia Quan gradually understood that Zheng Kuandong was talking about something.

"Those people are all from the Land of the Sun, and the Black Race is also divided into different ethnic groups, and the people of Karaz are all Kabon. This Kabang tribe is different, they are born with a particularly strong resistance to the pain of **, and ordinary pain is not the same thing at all. Geizer said he had personally whipped a Kabon, and the was so struck that he didn't even snort. Whipping this level of ** injury, for them, does not cause much pain. ”

The assault on the chunks of meat was over, and Zheng Kuan began to wipe his beard. "I asked Geze to find out that these Kabang people are all believers in the Three-Armed Demon. I just don't know how the Three-Armed Demon got these from the Sunland to Karaz. Yesterday, I asked a few people who had watched the duel at the Dragon's Tooth Tavern the night before His Majesty ascended the throne, and asked about the situation at that time, and I was sure that the black Naku, who had made so much movement in the royal capital, was a Kabang person. ”

He stared at Xia Quan and said the last sentence of his concluding statement: "So, this damn nigger is a believer in a three-armed demon. ”

Long Yingtian got up, personally poured a full glass of wine for the three of them, and then raised his glass and said, "Although the Torture Pavilion and the Military Pavilion were busy in vain, they were not without gain. Thank you to our Prime Minister, who captured important information for His Majesty and for our country. We now know who the enemy is, and the Three-Armed Demon has sent a powerful follower to attack our Dragon Worship Cult and the followers of the Spirit Dragon. This demon has a great appetite, not only to fight the swamp snake demon, but also to provoke our gods. Naku, the black clan, made a series of actions in the royal capital, just to disturb the people's hearts and undermine the authority of our religion. ”

He looked at Xia Quan with a smile, "Lord Dianzheng, I will report this information to Your Majesty tomorrow, and I think Your Majesty won't blame us too much." ”

Seeing Long Yingtian come over to pour the wine in person, Xia Quan realized that there was not even a waiting servant at this dinner.

Lord Norimasa, who was relieved by this dinner, also felt that the dragon worship religion he believed in had entered a period that could be unprecedented and dangerous. He began to pray to the Spirit Dragon that the search party in Prancing Horse Town would find something tonight, and that if the Great Elder of Tongming died in such an attack, the Dragon Worship Sect would be even weaker.

After the dinner, the wait in the General's Mansion continued. It wasn't until near the end of the day that the news from Prancing Horse Town was delivered to the General's Mansion by Kuaima. Long Yingtian, Zheng Kuan, Xia Quan, and Yan Chonghu received the search results: Great Elder Tongming responded to Long Jun's call, he was attacked with his carriage while passing through the town of Prancing Horse, and died from the Thunder Punch, his body was hidden under a hill in the woods, and Naku buried him in the earth.

Although the search team did not know Tongming, the monk's robe on the deceased's body proved his identity.

Long Yingtian and the four of them immediately set off for the temple area, they still need the final confirmation, after the end, Tongming's body will be sent to the temple area.

There is a palace in the temple area, there is an oil lamp burning in the hall, the special sesame oil used, a spoonful can burn for a long time, this oil lamp is called the everlasting lamp, three hundred and sixty days a year is always bright, so this palace is called the everlasting hall. The Changming Hall is mainly used to store the corpses that need to be examined and dissected in the Torture Pavilion, and hunters sometimes bring prisoners here for interrogation.

Nearly halfway through the end of the day, the body of the Great Elder Tongming was transported to the Changming Hall with a carriage, and the Leaping Horse Town temporarily prepared a coffin for him. When he opened the coffin, Xia Quan gasped.

In addition to the everlasting lamp hanging in the air in the main hall to keep it illuminated, the crystal lamps on the four walls were also lit, the light was sufficient, everyone could see it clearly, the great elder in the coffin died very miserably, his abdomen was opened a neat hole, his neck and limbs were broken, and the muscles and flesh could be seen between the stumps, and the whole person had been dismantled. Naku seems to have a deep hatred for him, and if he doesn't kill enough, he has to divide his body.

Zheng Kuan sighed: "Brother, you and I have worked in the Torture Pavilion for so many years, how many people have you seen who died so miserably?"

Xia Quan said: "I have only seen one worse than this, six years ago in Gaoqiu Town, there was a woman who was smashed into a meatloaf by a mine hammer. ”

"Only that one. ”

"There is no second one. ”

Long Yingtian shook his head and said, "This is really incredible. It was already surprising that the killed Yuanfa, but I didn't expect him to be so strong that Lian Ming couldn't beat him. Where is this person, it's simply a demon!"

Yan Chonghu frowned and said, "General, I'm afraid things are not so simple. ”

Long Yingtian didn't speak, waiting for him to continue. It would be unwise to doubt the deep wisdom of this partner.

Yan Chonghu stroked his chin with a few beards, lowered his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Why were the three bodies of the three adults, the envoy and the escort dragged from the woods to the middle of the road? This is a contempt and provocation against us. But he could have moved the corpse without such trouble, just do it on the road, but he led the people in the car into the woods. I think this is a ruse he has prepared to deal with the Great Elder Tongming. Tong Ming is a distinguished guest specially invited by His Majesty, and if he encounters robbers on the way back, or if something happens to the carriage, the envoy will not alarm him to get out of the carriage. Thus, Naku most likely lured out the two guards as the carriage reached that part of the road, and then tricked the envoy out of the carriage as well, and as for the coachman, it would have been easy for Naku to deal with him silently. In the end, there was only one person left in the carriage. ”

Zheng Kuan said: "What General Yan means is that Naku has created a one-on-one opportunity, and having a guard may not win it for him. ”

"No, sir. We must not forget that Naku was a disciple of the Awakening Temple. Even if Naku's Lei Guan Fist is not Tongming's, it is reasonable for Tongming to know Naku. So when he saw Naku outside the car, he was probably unprepared. Naku could have tricked him into getting out of the car and then suddenly attacked. ”

Long Yingtian agreed: "Chonghu is very reasonable. It would have been difficult for Naku to sneak up in front of the other three, so he first managed to get out of the way of the others and create an opportunity for him to sneak up. ”

Yan Chonghu said: "Naku didn't directly kill the whole car on the avenue, which just proves that he is not a clear opponent without using trickery." If his tricks are discovered, he will be dead. I have to admit that he is really bold. ”

"Definitely. He dared to run to the dragon alone and do so many cases, I have never seen such an arrogant and bold murderer. Xia Quan said, "Since Naku wants to kill the Great Elder of the Sect Temple, Tie Huan is also in the royal capital now, and he and the National Teacher are probably also Naku's targets." ”

Long Yingtian nodded and said, "The defense level of the royal capital must be raised to the highest, and this demon will not be able to lift the threat alarm for a day if it is in the royal capital." Each of us has the potential to be the next target of this demon. ”

This is entirely possible, Xia Quan felt a chill rise from under his feet. He still had a question in his heart, and Yan Chonghu said it for him: "Now there is still a very important question that I don't understand, how did Naku know that Tongming was recruited by His Majesty, and also knew that the carriage was returned?"

Xia Quan's deep voice responded to Yan Chonghu, "He has prepared everything in advance, and even thought of a trick to deal with Tongming." ”

There was a charcoal stove burning in the main hall, and the temperature was kept at the right level, and it was warm enough compared to the outside. The lantern is placed in a translucent tray, and the flame flickers occasionally, and each time it shakes, it indicates that the wind is blowing. The shadowless Naku was like the wind, no one could see him, they couldn't catch him, but they could feel his presence.

He really is like a demon who brings calamity and fear to people.

Isn't fear like the wind, it is everywhere, it fills the air around it, and even the light of the fire can't stop it.

Xia Quan felt that the coldest time of winter suddenly came.
