Chapter 118: The First Clues
The reputation of the Ten Thousand Poison Gate is also known to everyone in the Central Plains martial arts, and as soon as the Taoist said this, everyone showed a contemplative look on their faces, such a Gu worm that defies the sky and violates common sense, and only the mad Ten Thousand Poison Gate can cultivate.
Hongtian put his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried and uneasy in his heart:
"The assassination of the murderer who attacked the six princes, although there is no direct evidence that it was the second prince, but on the surface of all kinds of signs, only he can have such power, and now the second prince has this Gu worm control method, the already huge strength is even stronger, His Royal Highness the sixth prince is still sick in bed, I don't know when he will wake up, the odds are slim. β
The Taoist and Hongtian have been friends for many years, so they naturally saw each other's worries and anxieties, and saw the Taoist on the machine say in a deep voice:
"Don't be frightened by this Gu worm, although the old man does not practice Gu worm poison, but the old man is proficient in pharmacological knowledge, the so-called poison and medicine, there is only a line of difference, the refining secret method of this Gu worm must be very difficult, the success rate is extremely low, refining the Gu worm that is effective for second-rate first-class masters, it is even more difficult to ascend to the sky, the time and place are favorable, and all of them are indispensable, so every Gu worm is a peerless treasure. β
What the Daoist said is indeed quite reasonable, although the Gu worm is powerful, but if you want to control the first-class master, it must not be easy, otherwise it will not be invincible in the world, the Heavenly Dao has its own operation law, and all things have their own connections, life and life, life and restraint, and the Gu worm that can control the first-class master must be rare and precious in general.
Since Hongtian heard that this Quan Anwu was being controlled, he couldn't help but secretly guess in his heart:
"Quan Anwu is a first-class master, his strength is monstrous, and he has also been controlled by Gu, and now everyone in the know has died, but the threat of this Gu worm has always existed, and now I don't know what the details of the Gu worm are, how to play the Gu, how to control it, this is always a hidden danger. β
Thinking of this, Hong Tian suddenly thought of Commander Liu's words, Quan Anwu brought out two red people from Baixiu Pavilion, and he could make so much effort and effort, the identities of these two people must not be simple.
I saw Hongtian commanding to Dongyuan, who was observing the corpse on the side:
"Dongyuan, you once led your troops to chase those two red men, but what did you gain?"
Bowing slightly, Dongyuan responded:
"This Quan Anwu is delicate, very cunning, for the two of them to prepare a superb horse, this horse is extremely fast, although the horses equipped by the soldiers are also good, but compared to this good horse is inferior, Shu Dongyuan is not capable, failed to stop the person successfully. β
Hongtian shook his head slightly, and said indifferently:
"Your ability, everyone is obvious to all, the incident happened suddenly, this matter can't be blamed on you, then Wu Xiong, it can't be just the boss of Baixiu Pavilion, this person must have other identities, this matter will be handed over to you to deal with, these rats are the cancer that grew up in Baiyue County, if you don't get rid of it, you won't be at peace for a day. β
"Commander Liu, you lead the troops to assist Dongyuan, you must eradicate them!"
Commander Liu and Dongyuan both saluted and received the order, and said in a deep voice:
"I will live up to my father's trust. β
"The last general commands!"
Hong tilted his eyes slightly, waved his hand, and motioned to Commander Liu to carry the three corpses down, and after the corpses were withdrawn, the smell of corpses in the council hall faded a little, and the Taoist shrugged his nose, and then frowned secretly, only to see him grope out a small porcelain bottle from the wide sleeve robe, and then the Taoist pulled the cork of the porcelain bottle, and a fragrance smelled good, like the fragrance of lotus flowers, which diffused in the conference hall, and dispersed the disgusting smell of corpses.
The Taoist on the plane smiled, and after no longer smelled a trace of peculiar smell in the air, he withdrew the porcelain bottle into his sleeve robe, and saw him say with a smug expression:
"This incense is the old man's exclusive secret recipe, with 36 kinds of pollen, refined by a special method, today is the first appearance in the world, it seems, the effect is remarkable. β
Everyone sat down again, Hongtian and Dongyuan were in the main seat, and I saw Hongtian smile and say:
"Brother on the plane likes to study spice aromatherapy, and it also has a special taste, this another day, he will definitely give me a bottle. β
"It's a little thing, it's not a good thing, it's not a good thing. β
The Taoist stroked his white beard, and his tone was indifferent.
Hongtian said about the aromatherapy, his face seems to be calm as usual, but this heart has already been in full swing, now although it seems to have come to an end, just search for Wu Xiong with all his might, in fact, there are still many mysteries hidden in the dark, pondering clearly, now the six princes and Qianfeng Yu are still in a coma, and no one is in charge of the overall situation, Hongtian must be step by step, be careful to fall, otherwise one wrong step, will be wrong.
The night is getting darker, until everything around is eroded by black, and there are no stars and cold moons in the sky tonight, so the surroundings are extremely dark and cold, and the sky is like a black curtain, covering all the light sources.
Dongyuan Mansion, as the eldest son of the county keeper, is located in the center of Hakugetsu County, and is the most prosperous street in the entire county, and it is only one street away from the county keeper's mansion.
It was late at night, and the bustle and bustle of the day gradually disappeared as the sun was gone, and was replaced by the wide empty streets, and the occasional passer-by, beating gongs.
I saw that the lights were all gone, and in the pitch-black Dongyuan Mansion, a vague shadow faintly flashed, and this shadow was like a ghost, along the street, and disappeared into the night in an instant.
A wasteland ten miles outside the western suburbs, here is extremely desolate, there is no people, there are only some birds and beasts around, only to see a ruined temple standing on the wide wasteland, hidden in the night, the sky from time to time flew over some scattered black shadows, bursts of crows hoarse chirp, stirring up layers of empty echoes, breaking the original tranquility.
"Whoosh~Whoosh~"
A humanoid black shadow struck from mid-air at a rapid speed, and then stopped in front of the ruined temple, the wide temple gate and the tall and majestic temple symbolized that the incense here was once vigorous, but for some reason, it declined and decayed.
The black shadow slowly raised his hand and pushed open the temple door, a puff of dust was raised, and a piercing creak sounded, and the black-clothed man flashed into the ruined temple.
The ruined temple is in disrepair, a gray color, everywhere is covered with thick dust and cobwebs, together with the temple in the Zhanggao Buddha statue, the Buddha body is mostly damaged, and the moldy corner of the wall from time to time comes from the sharp squeak of mice.
The black-clothed man walked slowly to the middle of the temple, his eyes looked around, and then his voice echoed in the empty ruined temple:
"I'm coming. β
The sound was particularly melodious in the empty temple, and after a while, I saw the Buddha statue that was so broken that even its head was broken that a dim fire slowly lit up, and the firelight gradually brightened up with the sound of footsteps, slowly approaching......
The footsteps stopped abruptly, and the dim oil lamp imprinted the outline of the lamp-bearer on the floor, forming a constantly beating and flickering shadow, and the oil lamp illuminated the face of the lamp-bearer.
Wu Xiong held an oil lamp, with the help of dim lights, but he could also see that he was a little embarrassed, in this ruined temple that had been abandoned for many years, his clothes were inevitably stained with dust, which was quite unbearable for Wu Xiong, who was a little clean.
"Dongyuan, how long am I going to stay here! Hurry up and figure it out, I'm really fed up!"
Wu Xiong's face was very embarrassed, I saw that as soon as he finished speaking, a gray mouse crawled quickly under his feet, Wu Xiong, as a martial artist, naturally would not be afraid of this mouse, but he couldn't stop the disgust in his heart, and quickly raised his foot to avoid the gray mouse, Wu Xiong's face couldn't help but turn blue.
Sneaking out of the mansion in the night, the person who came to this broken temple in the middle of the night was Dongyuan, and when he saw that Wu Xiong even had to take up his clothes to dodge, a trace of disdain flashed in his heart:
"The officers and soldiers outside, looking for you everywhere, your portrait is now known all over the city, I only have one-third of the military power in Baiyue County, now let you go out rashly, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, you have been wronged here for a few days, and as soon as the limelight passes, I will send you out of here, these days, I will send someone to send three meals a day." β
As soon as he heard that he would hide in this dilapidated temple for several days, with these filthy rats and insects as his companions, Wu Xiong felt a wave of anger rise from his heart, and saw that the threat in his tone was undisguised:
"Dongyuan, I want to remind you, now we are grasshoppers on a rope, and we have lost everything, and I have ended up like this, and even committed to this deserted temple, I blame you for the good idea you came up with!"
"First of all, he proposed that I catch Quan Anwu's wife and daughter, saying that they are Quan Anwu's weakness, but as a result, this Quan Anwu still can't speak, and then he sent his wife and daughter to Baixiu Pavilion and designed Quan Anwu to come to the rescue, but in the end, he gave the key to the dead bald donkey, Dongyuan, is this your resource!"
Dongyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he snorted coldly:
"Wu Xiong, I asked you to invite a first-class master to sit in charge, in the end, it was you who made a mistake and picked up a cheap spot for the unintentional mage, if not, the two masters gathered together, Quan Anwu and his wife and daughter, must not be able to run away, because of you, let the plan to use the unintentional mage to attract attention fail, but now, you still have to blame me, Wu Xiong, you don't want to get an inch!"
The atmosphere instantly became tense, Sen Sen's cold air emanated from Dongyuan's body, Dongyuan wanted to use the plan to seek the key to monopolize Quan Anwu, so he set up a plan, to Wu Xiong, hide his identity to create a fake key for Quan Anwu, and send spies to destroy the ships that came to help the first-class master, so that he could not arrive as promised, so as to create an opportunity to let Ai Xia go, the plan can be described as a link, layer upon layer, but I didn't expect that the plan was carried out smoothly, but in the end it was broken in Ai Xia's hands, Dongyuan was already unhappy, and now he was blamed by Wu Xiong, and he was immediately angryγ
