Chapter Fifty-Nine: Destruction of Corpses
The mountain road was muddy, and puddles had accumulated in some places, and Chao Zhongwei and a few others were walking deep and shallow, heading towards the valley to the west of the mountain.
"Braving such bad weather and guarding against getting wet, it's really tiring for my brother. Tomorrow, I will invite you brothers and sisters to have a drink to express our gratitude. Zhang Bohuai said gratefully. He had hesitated to tell Chao Zhongwei about Wen Hua Yu Pei, but after thinking about it again and again, he still dispelled this idea, more things are better than less things, after all, it is not possible to determine whether Wen Hua Yu Pei fell into the hands of Taiqing Sect, maybe he was too worried. Taking a step back, even if the jade pendant was really obtained by Taiqingzong, now is not the time to say this, Chao Zhongwei's visit was not for the jade pendant, so Zhang Bohuai made up his mind, and it was not too late to wait for Chao Zhongwei to really find himself for the jade pendant.
"Brother Zhang is too polite. The friendship between you and me has always been good, and so have you and me. If I drink, I will definitely drink with Brother Zhang, but this word 'thanks' will not be mentioned again. Chao Zhongwei's face was kind.
Suddenly, a tree on the side of the road caught Chao Zhongwei's attention, the bark had been peeled off, revealing a white trunk, which was also very obvious in the night. "That's it. He said to himself.
"Cough, cough!" Chao Zhongwei suddenly coughed loudly twice, and his left hand suddenly pulled out the fairy sword on Zhang Bohuai's back, and at the same time, his right hand also pulled out his own fairy sword. Zhang Bohuai was startled, hurriedly turned sideways, and looked at Chao Zhongwei in surprise: "Brother Chao, what are you doing here?"
Chao Zhongwei laughed lightly: "Brother Zhang, I think our brother's friendship will end here!" He knew that he and Zhang Bohuai were in a similar realm, and Zhang Bohuai's sword was quenched with high-grade poison, and it would be bad if he was scratched, so he grabbed people first and snatched his blade.
Zhang Bohuai's heart is not good, on a stormy night, this place is so remote, if Chao Zhongwei wants to be unfavorable to him, he is really not sure that he can get out of the way. In the middle stage of his own cave and the early stage of Chao Zhongwei's cave void, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose in the fight. Zhang Bohuai's three disciples didn't understand what was going on, they looked at each other and stood blankly in place.
"Brother Chao, what do you mean by this? Is there anything I can't do with you?" Zhang Bohuai had already guessed a few points in his heart, I am afraid that Chao Zhongwei did this because of Wen Hua Yupei's relationship. He wanted to escape but didn't dare, in fact, if he wanted to escape, it was estimated that Chao Zhongwei might not be able to catch him, but the three apprentices behind him had the highest realm, and they would suffer if they escaped. In this case, it's best to solve the problem without having to do anything.
"Do it!" Chao Zhongwei shouted, Fan Yuteng and the other three suddenly burst out of the woods, and before Zhang Bohuai's three disciples came back to their senses, the cold fairy sword was already on their necks. This is an ambush plan drawn up by Chao Zhongwei, with coughing as a signal and shouting as an order, the three junior disciples each subdued a disciple and dealt with Zhang Bohuai by themselves.
Zhang Bohuai secretly complained in his heart, if he really started, none of the disciples would survive.
"Of course there is! You seem to have forgotten what I told you when I asked me for Wen Hua Yupei?" Chao Zhongwei said unhurriedly. He had long expected that Zhang Bohuai felt sorry for his apprentice and would definitely not run away by himself.
Zhang Bohuai hurriedly explained with a smile: "It turned out to be because of this." Brother Chao, I haven't had time to tell you more about this matter, because Yin Quan doesn't know its importance, he has already traded it to an old friend at the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference......"
Chao Zhongwei suddenly said sharply: "Do you know how much disaster this will bring? That jade pendant has now been obtained by the Taiqing Sect Master, and now you will stop blaming me for being ruthless!" After speaking, he waved his hand, and "Boom, Boom, Boom" sounded three times, Zhang Bohuai's three apprentices were cut in their throats before they screamed, and they fell to the ground one by one, blood gushed out from the cut throat, and a thick smell of blood filled the humid air.
Zhang Bohuai's heart was twitching, he clenched his hands into fists, his whole body trembled slightly because of anger, glared at Chao Zhongwei and shouted: "If you have the ability, you will come at me! What do you have to do with my three apprentices? What kind of unseemly deed did you yourself do back then, provoked the Taiqing Sect, and even made me angry with my disciples? In vain the friendship between you and me for many years, you are a shameless person with a beast's heart! Give me back my life in vain!" Before the words fell, Zhang Bohuai attacked Chao Zhongwei with his bare hands.
Chao Zhongwei sneered, threw Zhang Bohuai's immortal sword at the juniors behind him, and faced the angry Zhang Bohuai.
On the realm of cultivation, there is only one period left, and Zhang Bohuai has no advantage in kung fu, not to mention Chao Zhongwei's fairy sword in hand. Zhang Bohuai punched Chao Zhongwei's face, Chao Zhongwei was on the side, raised his sword and slashed his wrist, he quickly closed his fist and turned around, straightened his left leg and swept towards Chao Zhongwei's lower plate. Chao Zhongwei jumped upwards and avoided it, and he caught a glimpse of Zhang Bohuai stumbling towards several juniors. Zhang Bohuai knew in his heart that if he didn't take back his immortal sword, he wouldn't have the ability to fight Chao Zhongwei at all.
Chao Zhongwei would not let his plan succeed, and after landing on the ground, he chased after Zhang Bohuai, and the fairy sword pointed directly at his heart. Fan Yuteng and the others would not wait for Zhang Bohuai to kill, the three of them scattered in different directions, and Zhang Bohuai chased straight after Fan Yuteng who was holding his immortal sword. Fan Yuteng saw Zhang Bohuai chasing after him and threw his fairy sword at Mi Junliang. Zhang Bohuai hurriedly turned around and rushed towards Mi Junliang, who hurriedly threw the fairy sword to another person. Zhang Bohuai didn't have time to turn around this time, Chao Zhongwei had already been killed behind him. He was angry in his heart, there was no chance of winning like this, it was better to run for his life.
In terms of speed, Zhang Bohuai expected that Chao Zhongwei should not be able to catch up with him, as long as he escaped back to the Seven Poison Garden, he could seek help from his peers. "Chao Zhongwei, you remember this blood debt for me today! One day, I will let you repay it twice!" Zhang Bohuai flashed Chao Zhongwei's immortal sword, threw down this cruel sentence, and used his body to quickly rush towards the road he came.
Strangely, Chao Zhongwei did not catch up, but walked slowly as if he was strolling leisurely. Fan Yuteng anxiously urged: "Second Senior Brother, you can't let him escape!"
Chao Zhongwei smiled slightly: "Don't worry. Carry the bodies of those three up the mountain. ”
Mi Junliang was puzzled: "Second Senior Brother, what are you doing carrying these corpses?"
The silent and cold young man said, "Seventh Senior Brother, don't ask so much, do as Second Senior Brother says!"
Mi Junliang seemed to be a little afraid of this cold young man, and whispered, "Yes, Fifth Senior Brother." ”
Chao Zhongwei said: "Do you remember what I said to Master before I came? I said that Master Zhang Bohuai and apprentice have been killed. If I let the body stay here, in case someone else finds out that it was just dead, then my lie will be broken because of the wrong time. And we can't destroy the corpses, so that in the future others will doubt the news of how we know. The best way is to throw the corpses into the insect poison garden, the poisonous insects eat meat, but not bones and clothing, and when others find out, they will not know how long they have been dead, and no one can guess who the murderer is and how he entered the insect poison garden. ”
Fan Yuteng's triangular eyes narrowed, and he nodded again and again in praise: "It's still the second senior brother who is thoughtful and has thought it through so thoroughly." So, the three of them each set up a corpse and followed Chao Zhongwei towards the mountain.
Zhang Bohuai, who was running in front, kept observing behind him and above his head to see if Chao Zhongwei had chased after him, but after running out for a long time, there was no figure behind him, the night sky was still raining heavily, and there was no bright light of the flying fairy sword. "Did they just let me go?" Zhang Bohuai wondered in his heart. The lights of the Insect Poison Garden on the top of the mountain were already faintly visible, no matter what, when they got there, they would be saved, and just releasing poisonous insects was enough to resist Chao Zhongwei. Zhang Bohuai saw hope, and the spiritual power in his body ran faster.
Suddenly, his body shook, and just now, he felt a stinging pain in the dantian like a needle prick, although it was only an instant, it had already hindered the normal operation of the spiritual power Zhou Tian. Now that he didn't have time to think about it so much, Zhang Bohuai once again urged the spiritual power in his body and strode forward. This time, only ran two steps, he felt a sharp stinging pain in the dantian again, this time it was much more serious than the previous time, he knelt on one knee, his eyes were closed, he gasped for breath, the spiritual power in his body could not continue to run, the dantian was like ten thousand ants gnawing, itchy and painful, numb and sour, so it was not uncomfortable. He hurriedly sat on the ground, adjusted his luck, and carefully investigated the condition of the dantian. This exploration frightened Zhang Bohuai, and an inexplicable thing accumulated in the dantian. He tried to run the spiritual power, and the inexplicable thing immediately spread to the entire dantian with the spiritual power, and the dantian immediately felt severe pain, and the inexplicable thing was still absorbing the spiritual power and extending it into the meridians. "Oops, poisoned!" he shouted.
"Hehe, that's right!" Chao Zhongwei's voice came from behind him.
Zhang Bohuai turned to the side with difficulty, pointed at Chao Zhongwei and said angrily: "You, you poisoned me! I didn't even notice it! When did you poison me? What kind of poison is this so powerful?"
Chao Zhongwei's expression had a hint of ridicule in his expression: "Why, are you only allowed to use poison in the Poison Refining Sect? I will too! This poison is a new poison that has just been developed by the master of my sect, of course you don't know." The poison is coloured and tasteless, and if there is enough light it is easy to identify, but unfortunately, the sky is not good, and you don't even notice that I have poisoned the teacup. If a person is poisoned, the spiritual power will be gradually swallowed and absorbed, and the spiritual power will not be able to operate, otherwise the dantian will be seriously damaged, how about it, it tastes unpleasant, right?"
"You! Wow-" Zhang Bohuai felt a pain in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Ah, by the way, I forgot to tell you, people who have been poisoned must avoid intense emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and fear, otherwise all internal organs will be damaged, haha!" Chao Zhongwei smiled hideously.
Uncle Zhang's heart was like ashes, and he used poison all his life, but in the end he was poisoned by others. "Chao Zhongwei, I didn't expect you to be so despicable, why did you kill my master and apprentice so desperately? Now, he knows that there is no hope for life, and he only wants to die.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the friendship over the years, how would I have given you the jade pendant!" Chao Zhongwei stabbed his sword into Zhang Bohuai's dantian, "Tell you, that jade pendant is the accessory of the daughter of Taiqing Sect Master Li Yuanxiao! Now in order to keep myself, I can't care about friendship!"
Zhang Bohuai's mouth was full of blood, and his beard was dyed red, he finally knew the big secret hidden behind Wen Huayupei, the family of the only daughter of the Taiqing sect master was slaughtered, this tragedy had already spread under Li Yuanxiao's hard work, and it turned out that it was Chao Zhongwei's group who did it. Zhang Bohuai remembered that when Chao Zhongwei came to the Poison Refining Sect as a guest five years ago, the three junior disciples around him were the same people who came with him this time. Returning to the Tianyun Sect's Mi Basin from Dongshi Mountain in Kanglong County did pass through the vicinity of the Poison Refining Sect. He was full of remorse, and he was annoyed that he shouldn't have coveted that small jade pendant in the first place, but it was already too late. He slowly closed his eyes, consciousness dissipating......
Chao Zhongwei wiped the blood on the sword with Zhang Bohuai's robe, then carried his corpse and walked towards the Insect Poison Garden.
Pressing the mechanism, the gate of the Insect Poison Garden slowly opened, and as for the antidote to resist the poison array, Chao Zhongwei had already turned out a large bottle from Zhang Bohuai's clothes and distributed it to several juniors.
"Senior brother, where do we put the corpses?" these poisonous insects are weird and ......," Mi Junliang asked timidly. The soul haunting spider in the iron cage, the snow clams in the small pool, and the black dead bee in the wooden box all made him creepy.
"I remember there were a few pits in front of me that kept poisonous insects, so I left them in there. ”
Sure enough, at the end of the path, there was a row of bottomless big pits dug, and there were black holes in the pits, so I couldn't see anything clearly, but I could clearly hear the sound of insects coming from the bottom of the pits. With the faint light in the distance, Fan Yuteng read out the words on the wooden signs on the side of each pit one by one: "Dragon maggot, coria-backed scorpion, flower worm, blood horse, fishy slug, jaw rat woman...... Oh my God, there are so many ......."
These well-known names on the wooden plaque are all famous high-level poisonous insects in the Qinglong Continent, ordinary people will be bitten or stung, and even lightly touched will be infected with poison and die, and there are even several poisonous insects that even high-level immortal cultivators dare not provoke at will.
With a "bang", Chao Zhongwei threw Zhang Bohuai's body into the pit of the dragon maggot, and the other three also threw the corpses into the worm pit next to them.
"Senior brother, let's get out of here quickly, just listening to the sound of those insects makes people ...... hairy," Mi Junliang whispered.
"Okay, let's go to Muzhou City first, and then visit the Poison Refining Sect tomorrow. Chao Zhongwei said. The four of them left the Poison Garden, and Edgeworth flew west.
The dragon maggot is actually a big red centipede, which is extremely poisonous, and the place where it is stung will quickly become red, swollen and hot, and the venom will quickly spread to the whole body, and then the person who is stung will die of severe pain and swelling all over the body. When dying, the flesh and blood of the whole body, the internal organs will turn into pus, which is extremely miserable, and the dragon maggot will bite through the skin of the deceased at this time, feed on the pus in the body, and even lay young eggs in the corpse, and the larvae will sprout pus in the corpse after hatching, and sometimes a corpse can hatch more than a dozen dragon maggots.
The toxicity of dragon maggots is so intense, it is naturally a good quenching product favored by the Poison Refining Sect, so the number of dragon maggots in the pit is extremely large. Before Fang Cai Chao Zhongwei left, he deliberately listened carefully to the sound in the pit, the dragon maggot was bloodthirsty, smelled the bloody breath on Zhang Bohuai's body, and became extremely excited, and a "squeak, coo, chirp" insect chirp sounded in the pit. After hearing these voices, Chao Zhongwei left satisfied.
It's a pity that Zhang Bohuai didn't die. Not dead, to be exact. was knocked down by Chao Zhongwei and fell hard, which shocked him back to breathe. It was only when the maggot's voice sounded in his ears that he vaguely realized where he was. But he was so wounded that he couldn't move.
Why didn't the maggot bite him? It was because he had a strange medicine bag on him. The medicine bag was the size of a sachet and had been tied to Zhang Bohuai's waist. This medicine sac is specially made by the Poison Refining Sect, and the sac contains a special powder, which is made by mashing and grinding the shells of various poisonous insects and various flower petals, which plays the role of repelling poisonous insects. As the saying goes, "If you walk by the river, you can't get your shoes wet." "Keeping care of the Poison Garden is not an easy task. I think that at the beginning, when the Insect Poison Garden was first built, in just a few months, three disciples died due to accidental bites while feeding poisonous insects. At that time, the Poison Refining Sect Master had been in retreat for more than forty days before he was able to configure this kind of insect repellent sac that could be avoided by most poisonous insects. In order to prevent moisture, a layer of wax paper is wrapped in the powder, water cannot enter, but the smell can come out, and a sachet-sized medicine bag can repel insects for nearly ten years. When Chao Zhongwei heard the sound of insects just now, he mistakenly thought that it was a dragon maggot that began to eat Zhang Bohuai's corpse, but in fact, the sound was disgusted. The blood flowing from Zhang Bohuai's body had been licked clean by the dragon maggot, but none of the poisonous insects were willing to approach Zhang Bohuai.
Zhang Bohuai's three apprentices also carried this magical medicine bag, but they had already had their throats cut and their lives had been returned to the West, and only a whole corpse had been preserved.
In the sound of the rain, Zhang Bohuai seemed to vaguely hear someone shouting to him, but he couldn't make a sound at all, the cold raindrops fell on his face, and he passed out again......
......
In the room, Zhang Bohuai slowly opened his eyes, and it was already dawn. The first thing that caught my eye was the cold face of Peng Xinwei, the Poison Refining Sect Master, and there was another stranger in a purple robe standing in the room. Suddenly, he felt a shock in his back, and a stream of heat rushed into his body, and his spirit suddenly lifted a lot. Looking back, it turned out to be the "Prince Wood" I met in Rongyang Sect.
"You ......" Zhang Bohuai was very puzzled, what happened after he fell into a coma?
"Elder Zhang, this is Taiqing Sect Master Li Yuanxiao, and this one is Elder Yu Ruijiang, you shouldn't have seen it. Peng Xinwei introduced to him, "Early this morning, Sect Master Li and Elder Yu came to our sect, saying that Chao Zhongwei of the Tianyun Sect had come to look for you, so I brought them to the Insect Poison Garden. I couldn't find you, but I found a few of your masters and apprentices in the wormpit. It's a pity that your three disciples have been dead for a long time, and Sect Master Li spent pills and spiritual power to temporarily save your breath, what is going on?"
Zhang Bohuai didn't answer directly, but sighed: "Sect Master Li, it's really you...... Ahem...... "He coughed before he finished speaking.
Li Yuanxiao withdrew his hand, got up and arched his hand: "Elder Zhang, you have a strange poison in your body, and you are seriously injured, even the Great Returning Pill of the Taiqing Sect can only temporarily protect your heart, just now I have already put some spiritual power into your body, there is only so much I can do." I hope you don't remember that I deceived you and tell me the truth of the matter. ”
Zhang Bohuai nodded, and said angrily: "Actually, I didn't know anything about the jade pendant before, Chao Zhongwei only warned me not to let others, especially the people of the Taiqing Sect, see the jade pendant." Last night he tricked the four of us into going to the valley, murdered us, and then threw us into the worm pit to cover up the time of the killing. Fortunately, my life is hard enough to sustain you. He took a breath and looked at Li Yuanxiao's eager eyes, he understood what Li Yuanxiao wanted to know, so he nodded and said firmly: "The four brothers Chao Zhongwei are the real murderers who killed Ling Yan's family back then. ”
Li Yuanxiao clenched his fists, Chao Zhongwei's strange behavior of killing Zhang Bohuai became reasonable because of the tragedy five years ago, but why did he want to kill his daughter Quanzhuang?
At this time, a disciple of the Poison Refining Sect came in from outside the door and reported to Peng Xinwei: "Sect Master, Tianyun Sect disciple Chao Zhongwei and the four junior disciples ask to see each other. ”
Peng Xinwei said coldly: "Hmph, he came just in time!"
