Chapter 294: Pursuit on a Snowy Night (Part II)
Zhao Ya reached out and grabbed the tail of the arrow that was exposed, and it took a lot of strength to pull it off the tree.
I saw that this crossbow arrow was more than 20 centimeters long in total, and it was black all over, and it was also made of unknown metal.
Zhao Ya looked at it carefully for a while, and found that the arrow was cross-shaped, and it was extremely sharp, even if it pierced several big trees, it was still undamaged.
This should also be the handiwork of the organ sect.
Seeing this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but become more and more interested in this organ sect, because this crossbow arrow represented an extremely superb metal smelting process.
Coupled with this almost black technology-like hand crossbow, Zhao Ya really wanted to know what else the people of the Organ Sect couldn't do.
After fumbling for a while, Zhao Ya successfully tied the crossbow to his arm, and then gently pushed the crossbow arrow into the emhole.
With the sound of gears turning and springs tauting, the bolts were reloaded.
Not only that, but there is also a cutout switch on the wrist to prevent accidental firing.
With this hand crossbow, it greatly made up for Zhao Ya's shortcomings in long-range attacks.
Although there is only one crossbow arrow, if used correctly, it will play a decisive role in the critical moment.
Zhao Ya couldn't put it down, and then he returned satisfied.
At the same time, Black Cloud was lying on top of the snow, still trying to mobilize his qi and blood, trying to escape from here.
Although the process was difficult, some results were seen with perseverance.
The originally scattered qi and blood were regained some of their senses, and their left leg and right hand finally regained some sensation.
Kuroko was overjoyed, although most of the bones and veins in his body were shocked, and the slightest movement would cause severe pain, but compared to his own life, these pains were nothing.
Relying on strong perseverance, Heiyunzi moved his body little by little.
He remembered that there was a gentle slope not far ahead, and as long as he could climb there, he could roll down the mountain by inertia, and then his chances of escaping would be greatly increased.
Relying on this little hope, Heiyunzi gritted his teeth and moved, but at this moment, a cold wind blew, and then he heard a soft sigh from his side.
"Why do you bother, even if your legs and feet are intact, you can't outrun me, let alone the way you look now?"
Hearing this voice, Hei Yunzi felt that the blood in his body instantly coagulated.
What he feared most happened anyway.
But when he turned his head with difficulty, he saw a young man with a long and jade body.
Although his facial features were very similar to the man just now, it looked like the young man was younger.
The black cloud looked blank.
Zhao Ya knew that Hei Yunzi was wondering about the changes in his body.
After all, he has only been away for more than a quarter of an hour, but he has undergone tremendous changes in himself, and anyone will be a little unclear about this matter.
He didn't bother to explain, but walked in front of Hei Yunzi.
"Actually, I didn't want to kill you, after all, if I captured you alive and brought you back, the master might give me more rewards, but now I can't keep you."
He obtained a hand crossbow and a large amount of eighth-level jerky from Heiyunzi, which were all disgraceful.
Although Canglong Temple also has an unspoken rule, that is, what you get when you go out on a mission is an additional reward for the task executor, and Canglong Temple generally does not interfere too much.
But this time is different, the captured crossbow this time is a rare weapon of mass destruction, and Zhao Ya intends to use it as his secret weapon.
In this case, this black cloud will naturally not be able to stay.
Because if he brought Heiyunzi back, and then he told the matter, wouldn't it be directly exposed?
After hearing Zhao Ya's words, Hei Yunzi's face was full of despair, but in the end he didn't say a word begging for mercy.
He also knew that it was useless to say anything now.
Anyway, I've eaten, played, and played in the past few years, and if I really want to die, it's not a loss.
It's just that he has one more thing to say before he dies.
"Can you tell me what's your name and make me a ghost?" Heiyunzi asked in a deep voice.
Looking at Heiyunzi, who was still acting so hard when he was dying, Zhao Ya smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled out the cold iron knife, and said two words violently.
"No way!"
After saying that, the knife came out like the wind, and it slashed through the neck of Heiyunzi in an instant.
Hei Yunzi was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect the young man in front of him to play his cards so unreasonably.
It stands to reason that at this time, shouldn't you say a few words of nonsense to show your prestige?
How can you go straight to the knife?
But these problems were quickly overwhelmed by the raging darkness.
A line of blood spread across the neck, and then the human head was rushed out with a gushing of blood.
Zhao Ya reached out and took the head of the person flying in the air, dodging away from the blood, and then looked at Hei Yunzi's head.
I saw that his face was still frozen with the shock and confusion before death.
Zhao Ya said lightly: "What understands ghosts and doesn't understand ghosts, if you die, you will die, how many idle things." ”
Although Zhao Ya has not seen any supernatural events since he has traveled so far, who dares to guarantee that there is really no evil magic in this world.
If this guy asks his name and then uses some evil magic, wouldn't it be awkward for himself?
Even if there was only the slightest possibility, Zhao Ya was unwilling to take that risk.
The things on Heiyunzi's body had been scavenged clean by Zhao Ya, so Zhao Ya didn't care about the corpse on the ground, just took off his coat and wrapped his head.
Naturally, there is no need to worry about the head rotting on this cold day, and the corpse should soon be eaten by those extremely hungry snow wolves and wild dogs.
After confirming that there was nothing missing at the scene, Zhao Ya tied Hei Yunzi's head to his waist, and then flew back to rush back.
Heiyunzi is dead, but his group of people are still there.
These are all rogues who have followed Heiyunzi for many years, and they all have human lives on their hands, so naturally they can't leave any of them.
Although he wasted some time chasing Heiyunzi and cultivating later, Zhao Ya was not worried that these people would run away.
Because the fragrance of the medicinal bait on their bodies was so obvious in the bleak mountain forest, it was like a torch in the dark, and Zhao Ya didn't even have to bother to find them by following the taste.
After returning to the place where Geng Ying and the others had met, Zhao Ya stood in the wind and sniffed carefully.
After a while, Zhao Ya opened his eyes sharply and chased in one direction.
This direction has the strongest flavor, obviously not left alone, it should be several people fleeing together in groups.
This is more convenient for Zhao Ya to do it.
Although these people have been running for a long time, this is not a problem at all for Zhao Ya, who has an absolute advantage in body style.
With just a stick of incense, Zhao Ya caught up with this group of fleeing rogues, as many as eleven or twelve.
Coincidentally, one of them is that Geng Ying.
But at this time, this Geng Ying is extremely embarrassed, where is there still the majesty before.
For this group of people, Zhao Ya was even more lazy to talk nonsense, and pulled out his knife one by one, harvesting the lives of this group of people like chopping melons and vegetables.
These gangsters either shouted in horror for mercy, or drew their knives with pale faces to fight back, and even some fell to their knees, kowtowing like pounding garlic and begging for mercy.
But Zhao Ya didn't pay attention to it, after all, no one who can be a rogue will be a good person.
Soon, the bandits were lying in the snow, and the snow was stained red with blood.
The last one to die was this Geng Ying, he originally wanted to hide in the pile of dead people and pretend to be dead to beg for his life, but he didn't expect Zhao Ya to give him this opportunity at all, so he picked it up and directly cut off his head.
The same is true for other rogues.
Soon, more than a dozen heads were piled together.
Zhao Ya then followed the smell and rushed to several other places, and finally wiped out all the bandits and rogues under Hei Yunzi's hands.
After doing this, Zhao Ya piled up the heads of these people and marked a location, planning to wait until he returned to Canglong Temple and let Shimen deal with it.
At this time, the sky was about to dawn, and although it had been tossed all night, Zhao Ya did not have any sense of fatigue, but was full of energy.
He first changed his face in the woods, covered his current state as much as possible, and then did not stop for a moment, taking advantage of the last darkness before dawn, and quickly ran towards Canglong Temple.
Although the speed was very fast, by the time I returned to Canglong Temple, the sky was still bright.
The little disciples swept the floor in front of the mountain gate early.
I don't know why they sweep the floor every day, and the front of the mountain gate is still so dirty.
And when they saw Zhao Ya coming back from outside the mountain, these little disciples all looked surprised and avoided them one after another.
Zhao Ya didn't pay attention to it and walked straight over.
When he was gone, the novices got together again and whispered.
"This Senior Brother Zhao didn't return overnight without reporting, and Elder Xia of the Chuanwu Hall was furious, and was saying that he was going to clean up the temple rules, but he didn't expect to come back like this?"
"Who knows, it's going to be a good show now."
Although the voices of these little disciples were small, they still floated to Zhao Ya's ears.
Well?
How could Xia Jiye know that he didn't return overnight?
He was also furious and said that he wanted to rectify the temple rules, what temple rules should be rectified?
Doesn't he want to see what has become of his Chuanwu Hall?
However, Zhao Ya is not stupid, he understands that this is Xia Jiye playing on the topic, and like the previous malicious isolation, he is deliberately targeting himself.
However, Zhao Ya was not afraid, and walked into the temple with his head held high.
Sure enough.
After coming in, Zhao Ya obviously felt that there were many people pointing fingers at him.
Especially those disciples of the Chuan Wu Hall, there are many who are looking at themselves with gloating eyes.
Only Gui Xuanqing looked worried, and desperately glanced at himself.
Zhao Ya knew that Gui Xuanqing should be reporting to himself, which obviously meant to let himself dodge.
Zhao Ya just smiled back at this, and then walked towards the courtyard where he lived.
From a distance, Zhao Ya saw a group of people gathered in front of his courtyard.
One of them is talking about it, who is not Xia Jiye?
I saw him spitting and saying: "See, this Zhao Ya hasn't come back yet, and according to the guard in front of the door, he went out yesterday afternoon in the name of completing the task of the division." ”
"All night, he was alone outside, unattended, who could guarantee that something would happen? If you rely on your own strength and do something treacherous, wouldn't it be an accident to the reputation of our Canglong Temple? ”
"So I think this son has seriously violated the rules of the temple and must be severely punished."
The people around him are basically him, and they will naturally echo his words.
"That's right! It should be punished severely! ”
"I agree!"
When the crowd was "excited", Zhao Ya came back.
As soon as he saw him, Xia Jiye was stunned at first.
Because he didn't expect Zhao Ya to swagger so much and return in a grand manner.
But soon he reacted and raised his hand to point at Zhao Ya.
"Okay, you still dare to come back, say, did you not return overnight?"
Zhao Ya nodded very naturally, "That's right, I did just come back." ”
Xia Jiye was overjoyed in his heart, and his voice instantly rose an octave higher.
"Listen, let's not say that I wronged him, he himself admitted that he didn't return overnight, let's talk about it, what are you doing outside? Did you take the opportunity to pick flowers and steal willows, and do something unscrupulous? ”
This speculation was very vicious, obviously trying to push Zhao Ya into the fire pit.
Of course, Zhao Ya understood the intention of this Xia Jiye, but he didn't panic, he just spread his hands.
"I went to the contribution office yesterday to get a division mission, and then I went outside to carry out the mission, but I didn't expect to encounter some situations, so I couldn't rush back at night, what's the matter? Isn't that okay either? ”
"Of course not, who knows if you went outside to do nonsense in the name of doing the task of the teacher." Xia Jiye sneered, but soon his smile became stiff.
Because just after he said this, Zhao Ya's eyes suddenly became extremely deep, like a bottomless pool of water.
Even Xia Jiye couldn't help but be frightened in the face of such a look.
However, this picture was fleeting, and then Zhao Ya returned to normal, and then said lightly.
"Elder Xia, I admit that it was my fault for not reporting and not returning overnight, but isn't it too much to speculate without any evidence?"
At this time, Xia Jiye also came to his senses, and he was shocked and angry in his heart.
What was shocked was the momentum that Zhao Ya showed at that moment just now, even he was shocked.
What is angry is that he dares to accuse himself to his face, which is simply a head-on challenge to his authority.
If this can't be handled properly, then he, the elder of the Chuanwu Hall, won't want to be it.
Therefore, he sneered a few times sadly, "What a good one speculates without real evidence, according to what you say, you went out all night and didn't return, and I questioned you if it was my fault?" ”
"I didn't say that, but if you don't understand that, I can't help it." Zhao Ya said lightly.
"Zhao Ya, don't be too arrogant, I'm your Elder Sect Inheritance, what kind of attitude do you have?" Xia Jiye asked sharply.
Zhao Ya was not intimidated by his momentum at all, but smiled.
"And what attitude do you want from me?"
"You ......."
Xia Jiye was about to speak, when there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and then he saw Qin Jianji hurrying over with his disciple Tian Yixin.
"What's going on?" Qin Jianji asked immediately after he arrived.
Xia Jiye sneered, "Now I have to ask this precious apprentice you recruited." ”
