Chapter Seventy-Three: Evil Underground
There were fourteen servants in this group, all dressed exactly the same, one by one with a bottle and a low head and just looking forward, just turning a corner, walking in the last one suddenly felt a gentle tap on the shoulder, just about to look up, but the eyes were dark, and he was cleanly knocked unconscious.
"Oops, when I used to watch movies, I only knew that a heavy blow to the back of the neck could stun people, but I didn't control the strength for a while, and the shot was a little heavier!"
Xiao Qianli held the vial firmly in his left hand, and looked at the servant whose neck had been broken alive and laughed, and he could only quickly drag the dead man to the bushes behind the house and gently put the bottle on the ground.
The next moment, Xiao Qianli, who was dressed as a servant, came out of the bushes with a bottle, touched a handful of soil on the ground casually, painted his face white, and saw at a glance that the thirteen servants had walked out of dozens of zhang, and hurriedly followed.
Fortunately, the servants were like walking corpses, and they only knew to walk cautiously with their heads bowed with their bottles in their hands, and they never noticed that one of their companions had died.
"Someone stop!" As soon as the group approached an ordinary-looking big house, two people in Tsing Yi with long swords on their backs immediately flashed out, looked at the group of people indifferently, and said in a deep voice, "Routine inspection!"
This group of people is obviously accustomed to it, one by one with a blank expression holding the bottle in their left hand, and raising their right hand high, indicating that they have no weapons, Xiao Qianli pressed his head low, and glanced at the top of the door with a blank look.
There seemed to be only two young guards at the door, but small holes were visible above the bulky and heavy wooden door.
"Huh, the mechanism?"
The last time I saw such a scene, it was at the bottom of the cliff of Qilian Mountain, on the stone pillar that suppressed the old demon, the strong bows and crossbows that shot out of the rows of small holes shot out in an instant, and in an instant, the old monster that had lived for hundreds of years was shot into a mass of flesh that was not human-shaped.
The Zhuangzi had apparently been peaceful for a long time, and although it was claimed to be a routine inspection, the two guards only slapped the servants on the body a few times and ordered, "Go in!"
Seeing the heavy gate slowly open, the mermaids in front of him rushed in, and there were only three servants left who had not been checked.
Xiao Qianli lowered his head, his whole body was already crumbling, his left hand was holding the bottle motionless, but the Xuanbing True Qi in his right hand was already condensed at his fingertips, as long as the other party made a slight move, he would immediately burst into a surprise attack, and in an instant, he could kill these two unsuspecting guards on the spot.
These servants have no martial arts, which he can see at a glance, and these two guards are obviously just ordinary people, and it is not a problem to kill, but how to deal with the aftermath is the biggest problem.
Seeing that it was already the last one, one of the guards suddenly said, "Hey, how did you get a dirty ......?"
There was a soft sound of "snort", and the thick branches of a big tree not far away suddenly broke out of thin air with a "snap", and fell to the ground with the branches, startling the two guards to hurriedly turn their heads to look.
"What's the matter?" the two guards pulled out their swords, and one of them jumped to the side of the branch, looked around, and then lowered his head to pick up the branch and looked at it a few times, and threw it on the ground.
"Gnawed by bugs. The guard's long sword was unsheathed, and he walked back lazily, "Scared Lao Tzu!"
"Hmm!" the other nodded, and was about to turn his head to check again, only to see that the last servant had already entered the room.
"Hey, did you just check another one that you didn't check?"
"Forget it, it's a big deal. Let's discuss and discuss, and when the successor comes, where can we have some fun in the evening!"
The voice behind him gradually lowered, and Xiao Qianli also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just because he didn't want to startle the snake in advance, Xiao Qianli had an idea, and the Xuanbing True Qi in his raised right hand was all dispersed, and it was replaced by an extremely sharp Jinxing True Qi.
Using Jin Xing's true qi to forcibly urge the Xuanyin Finger, which originally belonged to the Water Martial Arts, although the effect was much worse, there was no problem in breaking a branch. Gengjin Kejia Wood, the bursting Jin Xing True Qi suddenly completely destroyed the branches with a little vitality, and from the outside, it looked as if it had died from the inside.
The room was empty, Xiao Qianli was in doubt, and suddenly saw the servant walking in front pressing on the wall, and a round stone slab suddenly and slowly descended, revealing a dark passage.
The hole was very steep and long, and there was a cold air, and Lin Chaofeng took advantage of the light of the torches on the wall to walk all the way along the narrow passage, and walked for a while, and his eyes suddenly opened up. I saw that the hall with a radius of hundreds of zhang was divided into more than a dozen small rooms, and countless torches illuminated as bright as day. Several robed old men shuttled back and forth from room to room, recording something on the book in their hand from time to time.
"What a big deal!"
Even Xiao Qianli couldn't help but be greatly shocked by the scale of this basement.
But what surprised him even more was that there were many large urns in those large and small rooms.
"What is this?"
The strong smell of medicine made him seem to remember something, and when he was close to a room, Xiao Qianli quickly glanced inside.
Just one glance made the blood almost coagulate all over his body.
The large urn closest to him was filled with rich black medicinal juice, and in the medicinal juice, a white and tender child of about two or three years old was soaked, his eyes were closed, as if he was dead.
There are six large urns in this room, which means that there are six toddlers here.
"What the hell is this doing?" Xiao Qianli was shocked and angry in his heart, forced himself to suppress the extreme uneasiness in his heart, and continued to move forward with those servants.
The further you go, the smaller the toddler becomes, and after four or five rooms, the baby is already newborn.
In the last room, there were a total of fourteen large urns, which was just the same as the number of people in Xiao Qianli's group.
"Just put it down!" There were three people standing in the room, an old man was standing next to a large urn, intently collecting blood from the baby's arm, and a young assistant standing behind him saw the servants coming, and gave a command.
The other young assistant didn't seem to see anyone coming at all, and watched the old man's every move intently, and saw that the old man dripped blood into a white porcelain plate containing a shallow medicinal juice, and the color of the medicinal juice in the porcelain plate quickly changed.
"Master, is this the physique of Huo Xing?"
"Hmm!" the old man put down the porcelain plate, nodded, and said with relief, "The quality of the babies sent over this batch is not bad, fourteen babies, but three of them have an innate five elements physique. ”
"Innate Five Elements Physique?"
Xiao Qianli frowned slightly, as if he remembered something.
When most people are born, they have the five elements of innate yin and yang at the same time, and the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys correspond to wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, respectively. Generally speaking, it is a constant fact that the five elements are mutually reinforcing, so the yin and yang elements of the human body are also basically balanced.
However, a very small number of people, due to some special reasons, cause an attribute in the body to be unprecedentedly strong, but they can still maintain an ingenious balance of yin and yang and five elements, although such a baby is easy to die, but once it grows up, it is also a rare martial arts genius.
In fact, Xiao Qianli's three demon apprentices are all congenital five elements physique, for example, Liu Suifeng, who was born in the northwest, is a naturally moisturized water line, Chu Xun is a thick earth line physique, and Li Chengyuan's physique can be seen at a glance - the most solemn Jin Xing, I don't know how he grew up safely.
"These babies ...... Could it be that they plan to use it to train martial arts masters?"
"Or is this merchant on the surface actually serving a killer organization?"
Many speculations came to mind one by one, but Xiao Qianli was extremely calm in his heart, just quietly paying attention to every move here.
The servants put the small bottles on the table next to them and turned to leave one by one, Xiao Qianli was about to go out with him, but he heard a young voice behind him asking, "Master, how much do you say this should be priced?"
"For the body of the innate earth, the price shall not be less than 300,000 taels. ”
"The innate golden body will not live to be three years old. If someone wants it, the price is 500,000 taels, and the innate water body is also priced at 300,000 taels!"
"What about the others?"
"It's all acquired, it's useless, it's targeted for a few more years, and you can eat it after revealing your attributes. ”
"Eat?"
This word suddenly deeply pierced Xiao Qianli's heart.
He looked up in disbelief at the rooms.
These toddlers ...... Even a baby, turned out to be used for eating?
Before he could come back to his senses, hurried footsteps sounded in the passage, and a man in a strong suit hurriedly walked over.
Xiao Qianli hurriedly lowered his head to avoid being noticed by him.
The big man didn't pay any attention to the servants on the side, but hurried into the last room, and the surprise in his tone was obvious to everyone.
"Big business!
"What are you doing in a panic?" the old man whispered, "what kind of system are you flustered about?"
The big man hurriedly confessed and said with a smile: "Old Qi, just now the Divine Fist Sect sent someone over, and he ordered two congenitals and five acquires in one go. I paid 200,000 taels of silver for the deposit alone!"
"Oh?" the old man's tone softened suddenly, and he smiled, "What kind of price did the master negotiate?"
"A whole million taels!"
Xiao Qianli could barely suppress the extreme anger and doubt in his heart, clenching his fists so hard that his nails almost pierced into his palms.
"Even if it's an innate body of the five elements, what's the use of eating it? Why can these children sell it for this price? What kind of evil business are they doing?"
"Calm down! Calm down! We must find out what they are doing, what is so special about these children, why would anyone pay such a large price for these children, and ...... How did those kids in the city come from?"
At this time, the killing intent in his whole body was almost condensed into a substance, and he only relied on a little reason to forcibly suppress his urge to make a big killing, slowly quickened his pace, and left behind those servants.
The group walked out of the basement, only to hear the sound of hurried footsteps behind them, and the big man had already caught up.
Xiao Qianli thought for a moment, and immediately made a judgment, he deliberately slowed down his pace, and after the big man crossed the crowd, he suddenly quickened his pace, and followed closely behind the big man seven steps away.
When everyone went out of the door, they dispersed in a hurry, but Xiao Qianli followed the big man step by step, in the eyes of others, it seemed that the big man wanted to take Xiao Qianli to do something.
The big man obviously had something in his heart, and Xiao Qianli's dantian was constantly running, and he fell lightly and silently, and he never found that there was anyone behind him. The two of them walked one after the other, and seven or eight people saw this scene along the way, but they didn't have the slightest suspicion.
