Volume 5: First Calls 15: Eavesdropping

Someone's coming!

At this time, the five people had just stopped Yan Xuan to finish talking about the cause of death of these people, and in this secret room in the mountain where the smell of corruption was unbearable and full of corpses, they were frightened by Yan Xuan's statement, Li Jian warned everyone: Someone is coming!

Since seeing Wen Liang with a foundation building monk last night, the five of them have been a little frightened, especially Qian Chao and Tang Ping, who have instinctively regarded this place as a place where Wen Liang secretly refines the "Jade Pill", and they were already scared, but at this moment, someone came outside!

Who could it be?

"More than one, three...... No, six people, straight here. Li Jian said again.

What to do?

Just when the companions were panicking in their hearts, Qian Chao moved, he first put away all his glowing yellow paper, and then the white light of his right hand flashed on a stone wall, with a slight tremble, the secret room suddenly became even more depressed, Tang Ping also took a few steps up, and sure enough, he found that the entrance that came down had been completely sealed. Then Qian Chao's hands changed, and he saw a few two points circling out in a circle, and they were arranged at the entrance.

That's the Locking Spirit Array!

Then Qian Chao changed his trick again, and more highlights in a circle were also arranged again, this time it was the Hidden Spirit Array, and then Qian Chao motioned for everyone to stand in.

"When they come in, they will first hit my Lock Spirit Array, and then ......"

And then it's time to get started!

The five of them knew that all they had to do now was wait, wait for those guys to come in, and then see each other again.

The only thing that makes people uncomfortable is that it smells too bad in this secret room, but at a critical moment, even Yan Xuan endured the nausea in his heart, leaned on Tang Ping slightly, and waited quietly.

Qian Chao suddenly thought of a question, looking at these corpses just now, all the corpses were hit by a sword, and then the "jade pill" that Sister Yan said was also taken away, and only these corrupting corpses were left here, here...... It must have been abandoned, right?

So...... Who is it?

At least not the guys who got these people here!

He looked back at Tang Ping, and when the two made eye contact, Tang Ping understood, and also frowned.

But at least there shouldn't be the foundation building monk who was by Wen Liang's side among the people, so Qian Chao relaxed slightly.

But firstly, it is just a guess, and it is impossible to be sure, and secondly, it has been arranged, and it is better to wait and see what happens.

Then they heard the movement coming from above.

……

First, there was the sound of footsteps coming in and walking back and forth, and then there was the sound of someone talking.

"Hmm...... What does it taste like...... It smells terrible! ”

"It's a terrible smell, look at it, is there something dead here?"

"No, I've seen it, it's empty."

"As I said, this is the smell, it's terrible, but it's also weird, don't you wonder where it comes from?"

"Hey, isn't it possible that there have been dead people parked here?"

"Of course not."

"I said Senior Brother Zhu, you brought a few of us here, saying that it was beneficial, but why, you don't know why, now that you have arrived at the place, this place looks like a ruin, but at a glance you can see that this place has been opened, and some things have already been taken away, and now it smells so bad here, you should say, what is your benefit?"

"Hehe, of course I'll tell you, well, this place, I found it with Huang Feng's kid, and there was nothing about an empty ruin, but only this unpleasant smell made me very suspicious, what do you think this smell is?"

"It's the smell of decay when something dies."

"Yes, but don't you think it's strange that you can look for it here, and you can't find anything that smells like this, no matter how much you look for it?"

"Senior Brother Zhu, can you not beat around the bush when you speak, I'm dizzy from being smoked here, so don't go around in circles."

"yes...... Brother Zhu should tell us directly. ”

"Okay, well, that's what I heard, I heard that some disciples in Qixia Mountain secretly use some ...... The sect does not allow the method to come to alchemy, do you know what the method is? ”

"Again, of course...... Eh, I seem to have heard of it, I heard that there are indeed some people in Qixia Mountain who refine some pills from improper sources, which are said to be very evil, and they seem to be ...... with living people."

"Hmph, yes, there were a few such characters in the early years, but they were killed by the sect because the matter was revealed, but they were exposed because they were quietly followed behind, although I didn't see how they made alchemy, but where those people came and went, there was such a disgusting atmosphere of corruption."

"What!"

"Really ......"

"Senior Brother Zhu, what do you mean...... This is also the place where those people refine the elixir of the evil sect? ”

"Hmph, nine times out of ten, this is it! However, the elixir, although the refining method is a little evil, but I heard that the elixir refined by that method is extremely rare, some people say that the elixir can increase people's cultivation out of thin air, and some people say that if there is this kind of elixir when breaking through the foundation, it can ensure that the foundation is worry-free, and some people even say that it is ...... Well, the reason why a few senior brothers in our sect who have no mentorship can build a foundation is because of this elixir! ”

"Ahh

"Really?"

"Humph! Not to mention, even among these people who have recently built the foundation, there is a Senior Brother Bian in Qixia Mountain, you have heard of it, it is said that many people doubt that he can build the foundation. ”

"Can't you...... I heard that Senior Brother Bian refined the Zhuji Dan in Nanyutang, and then he was entangled by many high-level Qi refining brothers in the sect, and finally had to run out alone, find a clean place to retreat by himself, and only came back after the foundation building was successful. ”

"I've also heard of this statement, but I'm a little skeptical about it, that Senior Brother Bian, I've seen it, Mu Ne is a low-key person, and he doesn't have any teacher, it is said that he is just stuffy alchemy on weekdays, but I don't believe that he can refine the Zhuji Dan, although I am not a disciple of Qixia Mountain, but I also know that even ordinary pills have a good chance of refining failure, he is alone, and what he refines is the precious pill of Zhuji Dan, why did he succeed at one time? And it was successfully refined in front of so many people? I don't believe it! ”

"That'...... What do you mean? ”

"There's weirdness in this, hehe, maybe ......"

"Senior Brother Zhu, after talking for a long time, it has nothing to do with us coming here, could it be that the elixir used by Senior Brother Bian to build the foundation can be found here?"

"That's right...... You'll probably find it here! ”

(About Senior Brother Bian, this paragraph,I've also laid the foreshadowing before.,I've mentioned him more than once in the previous article.,If you have a vague impression, you can look at the previous chapter.,Test Feather Volume Seventy-Three: A pool of clear water makes waves.,It's early through the dialogue between Senior Sister Min and Yan Xuan that this character was introduced.,As long as a character has a surname or a complete name.,I'll use it.,Let him have a plot and an ending.,Otherwise, it's an NPC playing soy sauce.,Collectively known as monks.。 )

……

Hearing this, the five people of Qian Chao who were hiding in the secret room were relieved, it turned out that they were not gentle people, although they didn't understand the intentions of these people, but at least the five of them were not worried about their lives.

In the eavesdropping words, Yan Xuan also heard the things about Qixia Mountain while enduring the unpleasant smell, and couldn't help but listen the most carefully, especially a Senior Brother Bian who was involved in Qixia Mountain, that Senior Brother Bian is also a legendary figure in Qixia Mountain, Senior Sister Min also encouraged Yan Xuan with him, so that she could concentrate on alchemy without distractions, as long as she is sincere, there will be a reward, that Senior Brother Bian is an example, obscure, ordinary qualifications, decades of painstaking alchemy and finally practiced a wonderful alchemy technique, In the end, he directly refined the Zhuji Dan in the Nanyu Hall, which made the disciples in the sect flock to it for a while.

But now listening to what those people said, could it be that Senior Brother Bian is also suspicious?

Several people looked at each other, as if asking if they should get out of this smelly place.

But if you go out now, maybe the charge of refining the evil elixir will fall on the heads of the five people, and the people above will ask them for it, and where will they get the evil elixir for those people?

Qian Chao means: Now that these people don't understand the meaning of their coming, it's better to be patient for a while and listen to it again, maybe they can hear something useful.

……

"I said, this place was discovered by me and Huang Feng, that day we looked here and didn't find anything, so we gave up, and then we came out a few times and passed by here, and when we came in again, this smell of corruption has always been there, which makes me even more suspicious, so I and Huang Feng paid attention to this vicinity, and sure enough, let us find that there are a few sneaky guys here every month, and then leave, but they have more people than us, Huang Feng and I dare not show up rashly, I'm going to go back to the sect to find a few trusted brothers to come together, hum! I hate Huang Feng's big mouth, talking nonsense everywhere, and I repaired it, this kid is not a person who can do things together, so I left him alone, so I invited a few senior brothers, let's do it together! ”

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"Don't hide it from you, I think this is the place where some Qixia Mountain disciples secretly refine that kind of evil pill, although we can't find it here, but I guess there must be some formation here to hide that entrance, after all, what they are doing is something that is taboo in the sect, and it must be secret. Let's just hide here, do an ambush, as long as those people come here again, let's work together to take them down, and then ...... Hum...... I don't believe that I can't pry open their mouths, as long as we can open the hidden formations here, we can also get those pills, think about it, a few junior disciples, that's a good thing comparable to Zhuji Dan! ”

There was silence for a while, and then someone spoke, and I could hear that the man was still a little unusually excited.

"I wish Senior Brother, yes...... Is it true? No, I mean, let's wait here, of course it's okay to ambush those people, but how long will we have to wait? ”

"It's simple, I've already observed, those guys come here every month, either today or tomorrow, and it's more likely today, as long as they come in, a few of us will break out, and we will definitely succeed, next...... Hey! ”

"That's great!"

"Well, I'll just say that it's a good thing to follow Senior Brother Zhu, ha!"

"Okay, let's not just talk, I've observed that they usually come after noon, let's set it up now, but how about waiting for those guys to come to the door?"

"Good!"

……

At this point, the five people of Qian Chao hiding in the secret room finally figured out the purpose of the guys above.

Speaking of which, it's really not a good time to go out now, those guys will inevitably think that Qian Chao and a few people are refining the evil pill, and they will inevitably take action against them, presumably no matter how Qian Chao and the five people explain, they won't believe it, although the five people are not afraid of the people above, but after all, it is a mess.

And...... Listening to what the senior brother Zhu said above, just today, it is very likely that someone will come here again, listen to the meaning of what they say, and the people who come here are here to get the Dan.

However, Qian Chao and the others all understood that only corpses were left here, and all the "Jade Pills" had been taken away, and those people above didn't know about it, they were waiting so hard, they shouldn't be able to wait for anyone.

So what to do?

Is it to wait in this smelling secret room, waiting for those people to finally leave boringly?

Or go out and fight those people and then leave?

Qian Chao looked at a few companions, these four people now also understand the situation at this time, they have to wait for a day or two in such a secret room, and then go out after the guys above leave, and several people are a little reluctant.

It smelled so bad that the five of them couldn't wait to go out and take a few breaths of the fresh mountain forest outside.

Just when the five people agreed on the same opinion and Qian Chao was about to open the formation, Li Jian grabbed Qian Chao in one hand.

"Don't move, there's someone again, well, not many people, two."

This money tide is really surprising.

Those corpses all had a sword wound on them, and the jade pill was also taken away, only the corpses were left here, could it be that they came to destroy the corpses?

Or did the guy named Huang Feng mentioned by the kid surnamed Zhu also come to join in the fun?

But in any case, the five of them could only wait and see what happened again, and by the way, they would eavesdrop on it again.

……

Li Jian's induction is not much stronger than those guys above, the five people already know that someone is approaching, and the people above still don't know, and after a while, someone hurriedly said:

"Attention, someone's coming!"

"Hah! Sure enough, it came! ”

"Silence! Don't alarm them. ”

"Be ready, and do it when they come in!"

Hearing this, even Qian Chao and the others, who were eavesdropping in the secret room, became slightly nervous.

……

First, there was a "boom", and it sounded like it was outside, that is, outside the stone crack that Qian Chao and the others first squeezed through when they came in, and the sound was not very loud.

But immediately after the second "boom", the sound was much louder, and the secret room where Qian Chao and the others were hiding trembled slightly, and they also heard the sound of stones rushing into the stone chamber above in the roar!

How!

Aren't they ambushing others?

How does it sound like those people already knew that someone was in ambush?

"Haha! Sure enough, someone was in ambush! Someone shouted.

"Do it! These guys know us, all together! ”

"Hah! Still want to come out...... Give me back! ”

There was a sword roar, then a scream, and then what appeared to be a fall.

"Stop!" It was the voice of the guy surnamed Zhu, "Stop, who are you, how do you know that we are here?" ”

"Yikes! It turned out to be Senior Brother Zhu, why did you wish Senior Brother that this was the idea of bringing someone to beat the two of us? ”

"You...... Xu Qing, Hai Kun, why are you two? ”

"Well, we didn't expect to meet Senior Brother Zhu here, what the hell is going on?"

"I ...... We went out on a mission, and some of our junior brothers were injured, and we are here to rest and heal, why did the two junior brothers do it as soon as they came? ”

"Senior Brother Zhu, this is outside the sect, we don't have to talk so much, it's not interesting, I'll just say one thing, where do you rest is not good, but here, let me ask you, do you like the taste there?"

"You ......," the surnamed Zhu was obviously stunned for a moment, "how do you know?" Could it be ...... Do you know that? ”

"Haha! It's just that I know, let's be honest, Senior Brother Zhu, we have come here several times and felt that someone was watching and tailgating, but the other party was too cautious, and we couldn't catch it, so we finally decided on this strategy, not to tell you, Senior Brother Zhu, there is nothing in it for a long time, but we come once a month, just to fish out the people who are spying on us, hum, sure enough, in the end, we will all block you inside, are you still ready to wait for us to go in and do it? Dream your dreams! ”

"So......" came the guy surnamed Zhu's voice, "and there are indeed those things here?" ”

"Which things? I wish you brother, you might as well make your words clearer! ”

"Humph! It's the kind of elixir that is refined by monks with evil arts! ”

"Oh, the kind of pill you said, here, there have been before, but I wish you a late visit, Senior Brother, the batch of pills refined here has been taken away by us, and the reason why I came here later was because we found that someone was secretly following us, so we calculated it and came a few more times to lure you into the bait."

"That'...... Do you have any of them? ”

"Haha, Senior Brother Hai, listen, Senior Brother Zhu is going to beat us up, I might as well tell you, Senior Brother Zhu, we really have that precious elixir on our bodies, and we have to give one recently, it's in my storage bag, but if you want to get it, haha......"

"Do it!" The surname Zhu shouted, "Take them down!" ”

……

When the five people of Qian Chao heard this, they understood what was going on above, originally this surnamed Zhu was going to sneak attack with someone, but they had already fallen for someone else's strategy, and they attacked them as soon as they came.

But...... What is the origin of the two people whose names were broken by the surname Zhu just now, a Xu Qing and a sea kun?

Especially when talking about the jade pill, it should be the person named Xu Qing who said that he had recently given one of that pill!

He used the word "give", thinking about it, he was just an errand runner in this matter, so who would be the one refining these jade pills?

……

It's completely lively!

There are many people surnamed Zhu, but since there are only two people from the other party, it must mean that the means of these two people are enough to deal with them.

At first, there were still many angry scolding and shouting, and the people who were originally ambushed in the stone room above seemed to want to rush out to show their hands and feet, and it was really embarrassing to be blocked in this stone room, but they could hear that the two people on the other side didn't let them go out at all, and they guarded the entrance of the cave to death, and kept casting spells inside, and the sound of booming kept coming from above.

Then someone was injured, someone was muffled to the end, someone was injured and kept wailing and screaming, and then the sharp sound of the sword was like a raging wind and came in, and in the stone room above, you can hear the sound of "clanging" spirit swords colliding with each other, the sound is rolling back and forth in the stone room, and it is stabbed on the stone wall from time to time, and it sounds like "bang" from the secret room where Qian Chao and the five people are hiding.

"Hah! I wish Senior Brother is so powerful, Senior Brother Hai, come and help, I still can't do it alone! ”

"It's coming!"

Then the sound of "jingling" sounded like a torrential rain, and it was stalemate for a while, and gradually it seemed that Senior Brother Nazhu began to be defeated, and he shouted in a hurry:

"Two junior brothers, two junior brothers, stop, I have something to say, I ...... Hmmm......"

The voice stopped abruptly, apparently injured in the middle.

"Well, I wish Senior Brother too much fame, only in this way can the two of us listen to you with peace of mind, let's talk about it......"

"The two juniors are merciful, don't do it first, listen to me...... I made a mistake, I shouldn't have made a wrong decision, and now I want to ask for a life, I don't know which one of the two junior brothers is serving me, can I ...... Help me ask, if I don't die, I will be effective, how about it? ”

"Hehe, Senior Brother Zhu, with your means, maybe it can really be, but this time, the two of us have been ordered to be punished no matter who it is, so I'm sorry!"

"Wait......"

But then there was a scream from the surnamed Zhu, who must have been killed.

There were a few more screams from the stone chamber above, and it should be that the people who were injured and immortal in the battle just now were also replenished with their own swords.

……

After the fight, Qian Chao and the five listened quietly, it seems that this person named Xu Qing, and the person named Hai Kun should be good characters, two people against six people, and it ended in less than a cup of tea.

Then will these two people open the formation above by the way and then come down to take a look?

The five of them began to be vigilant again, but the other two people, no matter how powerful they were, the five of them were not afraid.

Or...... Now five people go up and catch those two?

……

Just when Qian Chao and his companions made eye contact and asked if they wanted to go out, the voice from above came again.

"Senior Brother Hai, the matter is over here, we can clean up and we can go back to our lives."

"Hmm." From beginning to end, it was the guy named Xu Qing who was talking, and the guy named Hai Kun seemed to be a very silent person.

There was a "pounding" sound, and it seemed that the corpses had been thrown into the depths of the stone chamber above.

"Don't pay attention to the corpses, seal off the outside when we leave, and then we won't come here again." Xu Qing's voice again.

"Good"

Hearing this, knowing that the two people above were about to leave, Qian Chao was almost about to reach out to untie the formation, but Tang Ping pressed lightly on his shoulder, and then shook his head.

Immediately after, there was a sound of "hmm", which seemed to be someone's painful moans after being injured!

But...... There are only two people up there!

This change made the five people below puzzled again, why would these two people still do each other?

"You...... Sea Kun ...... What are you doing! It was Xu Qing's voice.

"Naturally, Senior Brother Wen asked me to do ......"

When he heard this, Qian Chao's body froze suddenly, this stone room, the corpse here, the kind of jade pill refined with evil arts, and the fierce fight just now, now it is finally connected with a guy surnamed Wen.

"Hu ...... Nonsense......"

"Hmph, believe it or not, Senior Brother Wen came to me privately when I came, let me ask you, you approached Senior Brother Wen with a purpose from the beginning...... Or was he co-opted halfway through? Senior Brother Wen wanted to know. ”

"Nonsense, I'm ...... I've never had a disagreement with Senior Brother Wen......"

"Senior Brother Wen said that you would definitely defend yourself like this, and he asked me to ask you, what is your relationship with that torturer?"

"What...... I...... I ...... with him It's just that we knew each other before. ”

"No, Senior Brother Wen said that you are the eyeliner arranged by the torturer beside him, so I want to get rid of you today, if there is no evidence, Senior Brother Wen will not attack his own people!"

"I ...... The torturer came to me, but he just asked me to reveal some information to him, and I didn't ......."

"What Senior Brother Wen said is really right, hmph, why didn't the torturer look for me, but I found you, why didn't you explain this matter to Senior Brother Wen, now ......"

"Wait ......"

Then there was a rapid exclamation, followed by a sigh.

……

The tide of money is alive and strong!

A few people rushed out and took down the one named Hai Kun, maybe they could know more about Wen Liang, but with Wen Liang's cunning, if this person disappeared, it would inevitably arouse his suspicions, and maybe he would miss some opportunities.

But if you leave that sea kun, since you know his name, you will have an advantage, and if you find this person in the future, you may be able to find Wen Liang all the way, and when the time comes, you will be ready to wipe out Wen Liang's forces!

And also...... Who is that torturer?

Tang Ping looked at Qian Chao and nodded lightly.

……

The sea kun didn't come to the secret room below, and the five of them heard a rumbling sound, presumably the guy was blocking the hole outside.

After a while, Li Jian finally spoke:

"He's gone."

The formation opened, and there was darkness above.

Under the light of a few pieces of yellow paper from Qian Chao, the stone chamber was full of bloody corpses.

"Hey, it's clean, nothing left." Lu Pingchuan also went to take a look, but it turned out to be very disappointing.

Then the stones were removed from within, and the five men finally came out of the dark, foul-smelling hole.

Yan Xuan was finally saved, breathing heavily.

"Quick, seal the hole again, so those guys can't see the flaw."

Lu Pingchuan and Qian Chao were busy for a while, and the entrance to the cave was sealed again.

"It's time to go back, there are too many things to know when I come out this time, and I have to go back and report it."

"Let's go!"
