Chapter 240: The Assassin
At this time, Xiao Zheng stretched out his hand and grabbed the black-clothed monk who was stabbed by Qin Wen, and carried it to the monk who was on the ground, and sealed the dantian of the two of them with two strokes, and turned around and replied to Qin Wen: "The divine sense search has no effect on them, I heard before that there is a magic potion in this mountain forest, which is coated with the divine sense that can isolate the monk, and the two of them should be coated with this kind of thing." ”
Qin Wen listened to Xiao Zheng's words, looked at the black mountains and forests in front of him, and after feeling that there was no other movement, he said to Xiao Zheng: "These two monks are not dead yet, it is better to arrest them into the cave, ask them where they came from, and see if there are any other companions nearby." ”
Xiao Zheng nodded, grabbed one in one hand, like catching a chicken, and carried the two black-clothed monks into the cave, under the light of the remnants of the bonfire, Qin Wen saw that the two monks were painted with a layer of pale black grease on their faces, so he reached out and tore off the black cloth covering their faces.
The two monks were the same thin, their bodies were more coordinated, and they looked very lean, judging from their faces, only the one who was stabbed was older, and the other one who assassinated Qin Wen was younger, Qin Wen didn't see fear or any other emotional color in their eyes, as if everything didn't matter.
Even the blood from the wounded old man's wound was still flowing, and he didn't even look at it, this look couldn't help but make Qin Wen think of the group of idle monks he saw under the tree when he first entered the mountain forest, the kind of eyes that were indifferent to others and to himself, life and death seemed to be no longer in their hearts.
Qin Wen casually put the acupuncture points near the old man's wound to stop him from bleeding, and then asked, "When did you start following us, why did you assassinate us, how many companions do you have?"
Hearing Qin Wen ask three questions in a row, the corners of the young monk's mouth couldn't help but show a mocking smile and said, "We have followed you as soon as you entered the mountain forest, as for assassinating you." It's for the sake of your spiritual creatures, and as for our companions, this time it's just the two of us who came together, so it can be said that the idle monks in this mountain forest are all our companions. ”
Qin Wen couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face at this time, it seemed that his three questions didn't make any sense to them at all, and at this time, Xiao Zheng next to him looked at the baked flatbread on the bonfire. He slapped a few times on the ground at will, knocked off the black and scorched part on it, basically retained one-third of a piece of cake, and then handed it to Qin Wen and said: "The idle monks here are all like this, even if you ask them, they will all answer like this, it is better to kill them now, and it will be a disaster to release them here." ”
Qin Wen pushed the cake back to Xiao Zheng, indicating that he had eaten enough, and then he looked intently at the two captured monks. Seeing that there was still no expression on his face, as if Xiao Zheng was talking about the life and death of others just now, and had nothing to do with them, he opened his mouth and asked, "I'm going to kill you two now, aren't you afraid?"
The young monk pursed his lips and said, "Anyway, every day is your life, if you find something, you will eat a bite, if you can't find something, you will be hungry, and I have hundreds of lives in my hands." If you die, you die, and there is no point in living. ”
Qin Wen is still very interested in this way of answering questions. He also wanted to know where the bottom line of these idle monks was, although even a hired monk in the city would have a disdainful expression when he mentioned idle monks, but Qin Wen knew that if these monks were integrated, it would also be a great force.
Thinking of this, Qin Wen asked, "Since death can no longer threaten you, what are you still suffering in this mountain forest?" Go directly to the city below to do a big vote, and if you become a good drinker, you will have nothing to regret if you don't succeed, why bother living here with grievances. ”
The young monk didn't know how to answer, so he muttered a few words. Qin Wen didn't hear what he said, and then the slightly older monk said: "Since you have captured us, we are originally in the relationship of killing and being killed, why not just kill us directly, why bother to humiliate us here." ”
Qin Wen smiled slightly and said, "Since you are not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of these words?"
Xiao Zheng didn't know what Qin Wen meant, and he didn't stop Qin Wen, so he broke the remaining big cake with his hand, chewed it carefully, and then listened to Qin Wen's casual conversation with the two monks, Qin Wen still said with a smile on his face at this time: "When did you come to the Expulsion City?" or have you always lived here. ”
The young monk hesitated for a moment, he had seen many scenes of his companions killing or being killed, generally speaking, this kind of environment was full of blood, stubbornness, cruelty or despair, and he had never encountered a feeling like Qin Wen chatting with friends, although he didn't know what medicine was sold in Qin Wen's gourd, but he still replied stiffly: " I grew up in the city of expulsion since I was a child, and my father was a hired worker of the Xicheng Road family, and I originally thought that I would also be a hired employee for the rest of my life, but my father used a chance to leave the country in exchange for a book of merit. ”
Speaking of this, a bitter expression appeared on the young monk's face, and he continued to speak: "Anyway, today is going to die, I will be happy to say what is in my heart, if I knew at that time that my father would use this in exchange for skills, I would definitely not agree to it." ”
"But at that time, he lied to me, saying that this skill was given to me by the head of the family, and I was told to practice well, and it was only later that I learned that my father did not want me to follow his old path again, and wanted me to become a monk and live with my chest held high in the city of expulsion, but he forgot what this place was. ”
All three people present were fascinated by his account, including his companions, and the young monk gritted his teeth and said: "This is a living hell, if you can't make Yama and imps, they will put them on the saw table and put down the oil pot, and my father will eventually be beaten to death by the overseer in the private field." ”
The young monk smiled bitterly and said, "If I hadn't practiced at that time, I might have chosen to endure it, and I would continue to live as a slave to the master of the family and live under the whip of the overseer, but at that time, I was already a monk at the upper level of the Xuantu, and if I broke through to a level, I could go to Dongcheng to work as a nurse and a steward, and in the future I would earn money to support my family, and no longer let my parents work in the fields." ”
"That overseer ruined my family, ruined my whole, he was just a little monk who had just entered the Xuan level, when I killed him, that pleading look made me feel disgusting, I hated these overseers, I not only killed him, but also killed all the overseers that the proprietor could kill in the private field, and finally I was forced to go to the mountains and forests. ”
Qin Wen's face didn't have any other expression, but asked the young monk lightly: "Then if someone gives you a suitable skill now, and gives you enough pills and spirit stones, are you willing to do things for him?"
The young monk didn't realize the tone of Qin Wen's speech, and thought that Qin Wen would taunt him before he was about to die, and he also instantly pulled back from his memory, and said with a mocking smile in his eyes: "How can there be such a good thing in the city of expulsion, what have you monks from outside seen, in order to get a low-grade spirit stone, how many hired workers have I seen to curry favor with the overseer and learn to bark dogs,"
Listening to the young monk's increasingly excited voice, Qin Wen didn't want to hear this anymore, so he directly interrupted him and said, "I'm asking you, willing or unwilling?"
Only then did the young monk face up to Qin Wen's question, and looked at Qin Wen's eyes with some doubts, and found that Qin Wen did not have the slightest expression of ridicule, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "Who doesn't want this, I heard the old man say that in the outside sect, except for the disciples who pass on their own lineage, they have such good treatment." ”
Qin Wen turned to look at the old monk next to him, and asked, "Your name is Lao Chang, and what sect are you from?"
The old monk obviously had more city government than the younger monk, and when he heard Qin Wen's question, he knew that the two monks who caught him today did not necessarily have to kill the two of them, and there was no need for him to say something sarcastic to provoke the other party, so he spoke directly: "My name is Chang Yue, and I used to be a disciple of the Purple Cloud Mountain Range. ”
Qin Wen thought for a moment, he seemed to have seen the name of this sect on the paper of the merit, it should be just a small sect, so he nodded and said, "If what I just said can be fulfilled, then are you willing to follow me?"
Chang Yue and the young monk glanced at each other, and both saw each other's surprised expressions at the same time, but Chang Yue said directly: "We are willing." ”
Qin Wen nodded, took out the black pill refined by Han Duan from his storage bag, and directly brought it to the two of them and said, "If you are willing, take this pill first, and then I will treat your injuries and restore your vitality." ”
The young monk asked Qin Wen with some hesitation, "What kind of elixir is this?"
Qin Wen didn't hide it, but directly told them the truth: "These are two poison pills, you need to take the antidote regularly after taking it, of course, if you don't want to take it, it doesn't matter, then I will deal with the captives according to the rules in the mountains and forests." ”
Chang Yue didn't speak, he directly took a pill from Qin Wen's hand and put it in his mouth, the young monk thought for a moment and said, "Then why didn't you directly feed us this pill just now? ”
Qin Wen said in a cold tone: "Because I'm afraid that you only want to seek death, you will waste these two pills in vain." (To be continued......)
