Chapter Forty-Seven: The Black Line of Firetail
It was noon and the sun was in full swing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Bai Cheng's heart was cold, he couldn't have imagined that Huang Tiandao's appointment would pull him into a shocking case more than fifty years ago.
The words "elite cavalry" and "royal Taoist temple" flickered in his mind. The former is the majesty of the imperial court, and the latter is the face of the royal family, and the two will clash, and the result of the conflict is so tragic that the grass is eradicated and the chickens and dogs are not left, which makes him feel frightened.
Such a big case should have caused an uproar, but it turned out to be a silent end, which made people feel chilled, and they only felt that there were many shady scenes and there was no bottom.
Bai Cheng was full of worries and didn't say a word.
Lin Su also rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, could it be that there is more than one Bitian Courtyard in Jianye City?"
Bai Cheng was stunned, nodded and said, "What Brother Lin said is reasonable, let's ask again." ”
After the two agreed, they asked someone with a local accent in the street and alley. These people, both old and young, have lived here for generations, but when it comes to Bitianyuan, they all shake their heads and don't know at all.
There was only one gray-haired old man among them, and he vaguely remembered this Taoist temple, but because it had been too long, he couldn't tell the situation.
After more than half an hour, the two returned to the street.
Bai Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Lin, it seems that we are lucky, if we hadn't met Elder Feng, it would not have been easy to find Bitian Courtyard." ”
Lin Su also shook the folding fan lightly and said, "Brother, I'd rather we never met Feng Lao, otherwise I would have said bluntly that I didn't find Bitian Courtyard, so I don't have to worry about this." ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do next, brother?"
Bai Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Junior brother is going to go to Bitian Courtyard to find out what Huang Tiandao means. ”
Lin Su was also surprised and said: "Do you really want to go, brother, I think the water is too deep, I'm afraid of danger!"
Bai Cheng said: "Huang Tiandao must have a deep meaning in making this arrangement, and the junior brother is a little curious. ”
Lin Su looked at him for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, brother, I don't think you are curious, but you were moved by what Feng Lao said just now, right?"
Bai Cheng faced the sky with his hands in his hands, and said lightly: "Those who know me, Brother Lin is also! Junior Brother does have a sense of injustice in his heart!"
Bai Cheng's eyes drooped, swept towards the pedestrians who came and went, and said with a gloomy face: "Ordinary people have done their best just to eat three meals a day and raise rice and grain, just to survive, and they are exhausted to support their families.
Bai Cheng's voice turned cold when he said this, and a cold light was released from his eyes. Lin Su had known him for a long time, but he had never seen him like this, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Bai Cheng Chang let out a sigh and said: "If the junior brother doesn't know, just pay it back, since you know that at this time, even if you are alone, you have to rely on the three-foot long sword in your hand to get justice for the deceased!"
Lin Su also patted Bai Cheng on the shoulder, laughed loudly, and said, "Brother said it well! Brother, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, so I will accompany my brother for a while!"
Bai Cheng grabbed Lin Suhuan, and the two laughed loudly together, attracting the attention of the people around them.
The two of them didn't care, and in the long laughter, they strode out, walked out of the Qingliang Gate, and went straight to the west of the city.
There are two cities inside and outside Jianye City, there are 13 city gates in the inner city, and 18 city gates in the outer city, and Qingliang Gate is one of the outer city gates.
Unlike other city gates, which are full of people and endless, the outside of the cool gate is a piece of clean. This is because not far from Qingliangmen, there is a royal garden, where some phoenixes and dragon grandchildren often play and hunt. Ordinary people were afraid of colliding with nobles, so they easily did not dare to go here, inadvertently creating a quiet scene.
The two of them walked out of Qingliangmen and walked west along the avenue. The avenue is flat, there are few pedestrians, and there is a lot of grass growing on the road.
The two of them were not slow on their feet, and in less than half an hour, they found the pine forest.
This pine forest is deep, the trees are luxuriant, the weeds are overgrown, there is no path to speak of, if it is not for Feng Lao to say clearly, it is really difficult to think that there is a Taoist temple in the middle.
Bai Cheng flew up to the treetops, and looked at it from a distance, and sure enough, there was a tall pine tree in the pine forest, standing tall and upright, standing proudly in the forest, at least half as tall as the other pine trees.
The two looked at each other and walked into the forest together.
This pine tree grows very densely, the big tree is towering, covering the sky and the sun, covering the shade of the tree tightly, walking in the forest is like walking at night, if it is not for the deep cultivation of Baicheng, can see at night, ordinary people even if they are lanterns, it is difficult to walk.
Lin Su's cultivation is still a little worse, and he can't see clearly at night. Bai Cheng walked ahead and dragged him through the woods. The two of them gradually descended into the forest.
In the darkness, Bai Cheng suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound.
He turned his head and followed the sound, only to see a black shadow flashing, like lightning, straight to Lin Su's calf behind him.
Bai Cheng didn't have time to shout, his body was short, his two fingers were sharp, and his two fingers clamped the black shadow tightly like iron tongs. The dark shadow struggled desperately, shaking violently, trying to break free of its fingers.
Bai Cheng ran his qi and blood, wanting to cut off this black shadow. Unexpectedly, this black shadow was slippery and greasy, and it was even more powerful, and it was almost about to break free.
Bai Cheng snorted lightly, silently used the sword qi in his body, and attacked this black shadow.
With a "hiss", the black shadow suddenly straightened, and between the snap of its fingers, it suddenly became soft, like a straw rope, hanging down softly.
It was only at this time that Lin Su reacted and exclaimed, "What is it?"
Bai Cheng waved his hand and didn't speak, and continued to pull Lin Su forward.
After another quarter of an hour's walk, the two of them came to the light, which was a broken blue brick path, and there were no trees or weeds on the ground, before a bright light came from the sky.
Bai Cheng mentioned the black shadow, it turned out to be a black snake, three feet long, snake scales like the size of a mung bean, smooth and hard, with a metallic luster, a pair of snake eyes are dark, only the tail tip is a little, turning out a red light.
Lin Su also glanced at it and said in surprise: "Black line fire tail!"
Bai Cheng was stunned and asked, "Brother Lin knows?"
Lin Su also stared at the snake tail and said: "The black line fire tail is one of the seven different poisonous snakes in the south of the Yangtze River, once it is bitten, the snake venom will attack within three steps, and the middle one will be killed immediately, and there is no antidote." ”
Bai Cheng was shocked and said, "So powerful!"
Lin Su also gritted his teeth and said: "And the black line fire tail is not naturally generated, it is the Shengchen Pavilion of the three major medical families in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is crossed by using more than a dozen poisonous snakes! This snake is specially used to configure a kind of elixir, which can cure all kinds of poisons in the world." The Dust Pavilion has always regarded this snake as a treasure, and it has never been leaked, and there is no reason to release it in the barren mountains and mountains!" )
