Chapter Eighty-Eight: Zhikong Reminiscences
Xia Minghui saw that the person who died in the backyard knew that he was a disciple of the Giant Whale Gang, and he thought that his wife's tomb was buried in the back mountain... That is, he rushed into the forbidden land of the back mountain. When I arrived at the tomb, I saw corpses all over the field, and my disciple Da'an also died in front of the tomb. Xia Minghui checked the deceased and found that it was a sword wound, but it was pierced into the heart by five inches, and its moves were accurate and in place, not like after a big fight, but all of them were killed in an instant. But who wants to be able to do this, this person's martial arts are so profound, is he friend or foe.
Xia Minghui was surprised and pondered: Da'an was killed by the Giant Whale Gang by cutting his throat, and two people died on the ground, and a strong man died three feet away on the left side of the tomb. Xia Minghui looked carefully and did not find any sword marks, while another man, Xia Minghui, took a closer look and was surprised that Liu Changfei, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang, had no sword marks on his body, and he could die in a strange way.
Xia Minghui seemed to think of something and immediately checked Liu Changfei's Baihui acupoint. Sure enough, along with the strong man, they all died from the flying needle of the mysterious killer. Xia Minghui couldn't figure out why he killed these people, and who left the few jars of wine in front of the tomb, who had been here... Mystery killer.
Xia Minghui remembered that he had been here when he left the Seven Poisons Sect a few days ago, but he didn't find the wine jar at that time. Could it be that the drinker sacrificed his wife with wine, or did the mysterious killer drink first on the back cliff before infiltrating the Seven Poisons Sect, but was bumped into by Liu Changfei and had a murderous intent, killing them all and blaming himself, so that all the people in the rivers and lakes would unite to eradicate the Seven Poisons Sect from now on.
Xia Minghui felt isolated and helpless, he just wanted to find his daughter as soon as possible, and then stay away from the rivers and lakes and live in seclusion and never return to the Central Plains.
Master Zhiming of Shaolin Temple and the Eighteen Arhats also returned to the temple.
After hearing everything, Master Zhikong pondered: "Chang Choufeng wants to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, but he uses such a secret and poisonous strategy to forcibly persecute him, I am afraid that it will be unpopular, and the rivers and lakes will have to lead to a lot of blood in the future." ”
Master Zhiming said: "What the elder brother said is very true, so should we invite the "benefactor" who is concentrating on cultivating Buddhism in the back cliff to come out and have an explanation with the rivers and lakes
Master Zhikong said: "Amitabha! Even if you have let go, why do you need to stir up trouble again! Don't disturb him, let him practice Buddha with peace of mind." ”
Master Zhiming said: "What Senior Brother said is true. ”
At this time, Abbot Zhikong glanced at Master Zhiming, and suddenly felt that his eyes were dim, so he was concerned and said, "Senior Brother Zhiming can finish clearing the remaining poison in his body." ”
Zhiming said inexplicably: "Why did the senior brother say it." ”
Zhikong said: "Let the senior brother take care of your heart for you." ”
Master Zhiming stretched out his hand according to his words, and Abbot Zhikong gently put his hand on the pulse with his middle finger, and he felt that there was a yin force in the abdomen of Zhiming's junior brother, and in addition to the heartbeat, there was also a subtle beating sound. Zhikong closed his eyes and his heart was distracted, and he really heard two heartbeats in his ears, one was Zhiming himself, and the other was insects and ants, and after a while, Zhikong opened his eyes.
Zhiming asked eagerly: "Senior brother, is the poison in the body that 'destroys the muscles and frustrates the bone powder' unresolved?"
Zhikong said: "Senior brother, the toxicity of the 'Destroying Muscles and Bone Powder' in your body has indeed been resolved. However, I'm sure that in addition to the poison in your belly, there is also a more powerful and terrifying poisonous insect possessed by you. ”
Zhiming was shocked: "Senior brother, why did you say this. ”
Abbot Zhikong said: "Just now, I checked your pulse and vaguely sensed that there was a yin qi in your abdomen that was blocked, and it was fighting against the true qi in your body. And in addition to your heartbeat, there is a very faint sound of insects and ants beating. ”
Zhiming said: "Senior brother, can you know what kind of insect and ant voice it is?" ”
Zhiming looked at his senior brother puzzled, only to see Abbot Zhikong's brows tightly locked and fell into memory... After a while, he said: "Thirty years ago, Lao Ke was just a little monk who turned into a relationship, and when he followed the presiding abbot to Jiangnan to the Heroes Conference, he met a group of merchants from Persia on a trade road. They claimed to be here to buy silk, but they were accompanied by the Tang family, whose reputation had not yet spread across the southwest Shu realm. ”
"The Shu Realm Drug Making Family..."Zhiming exclaimed.
Zhikong nodded and turned around, "Exactly." I remember that they were resting under the shady trees beside the trade road, and the abbot and I were not far from them, and the abbot's hearing was very strong, and he could faintly hear a slight heartbeat on the bodies of the Persian merchants. At that time, the abbot listened carefully to their conversation and learned that it was a poisonous insect called 'earthworm', which was not found in the Central Plains. The presiding abbot intended me to listen to it and pass on my mental method, and the heartbeat of insects and ants I listened to at that time was the same as the heartbeat of insects and ants in my junior brother's body. At that time, because the Tang family did not agree to exchange them for gunpowder, the Persian merchants also left. Unexpectedly, thirty years later, this earthworm ant, the ancestor of Persian poisons, would appear in the Central Plains......."
Zhiming said: "Senior Brother Abbot, according to what you can see, Chang Chou Feng really used earthworms to control the various sects in the rivers and lakes in order to seize the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance." ”
Zhikong sighed: "I hope Chang Chou Feng does not have a greater conspiracy......"
Zhiming asked, "Senior Brother Abbot, how to crack the poison of this earthworm ant." ”
