Chapter Ninety-Four: Small-Town Bloodbath
To the west of the Demon Beast Mountain Range are basically the forces of the Sword Sect and the two empires of the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and the relationship between the forces is complex and intertwined, not only the upper echelons have close exchanges, but even the middle and lower echelons often exchange identities. Because of this, the disciples of the Sword Sect often experience between the two empires, and most of the disciples of the Sword Sect also come from these two empires. This is certainly not comparable to the other three regions. In the south, from the Valley of Chaos to the south, there are deep mountains or barren land, and in the north, except for the Thousand Illusion Sect at the end of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the rest is icy and snowy, and basically no one wants to go in these two directions except for passers-by who are looking for materials. The eastern part is different, Lihuomen is in the southeast, Cold Moon Palace is in the northeast, and Danyunzong is due east. Not far from the eastern edge of the Demon Beast Mountain Range is the Imperial Beast Sect. In addition, the three empires fought from time to time, so the east became the focus of the Xiuzhen realm.
About 100,000 miles southwest of the Warcraft Mountain Range, the mountains here are staggered, the ditches and rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the birds do not fly. When you walk in, you can see that the giant trees are densely forested, the mountains and ravines are deep and the human tracks are rare.
A month after the Chilian Lake incident, in the mountains and forests outside a small town, suddenly a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest fell from the air in a panic, and a mouthful of blood spurted out before he could stand firmly. Looking at the many fresh blood stains on his robe, it was obvious that he was being chased and killed by someone. Sure enough, less than ten breaths after the Taoist priest fell, three figures fell one after another.
"Huang Zhongkun, you can't escape, hurry up and arrest it!"
The three of them were uniformly dressed in white and blue trimmed robes, and immediately surrounded the injured Taoist priest with long swords in hand.
"The three Daoists of the Sword Sect, the four of my companions in this area were killed by the three of you one after another. Are you also cultivators, do you really want to kill them all?"
The Taoist priest knew that he was invincible, and he wanted to buy more time for himself to recover, so he was indignant at the three young monks of the Sword Sect.
"Huang Zhongkun, it has taken us more than two months to investigate clearly, the five of you are nominally Taoist priests who hold funerals for mortal families, but in fact, you are secretly absorbing corpse qi and the souls of dead people to practice evil skills, and what is even more hateful is that you also killed young girls, even children and babies. We naturally won't care if you wait for honest cultivation and truth-seeking, but you wait to do those things that hurt heaven and reason, and heaven and earth will not tolerate them. Our monks can sit idly by. Without further ado, let's die!"
After the sword cultivator finished speaking, he raised his sword and struck a sword light at the Taoist priest. The other two Sword Sect disciples didn't say a word, and immediately cooperated with the attack. Daoist Huang Zhongkun was powerless to fight back under the combined attack of the three Sword Sect disciples. In less than half a pillar of incense, there were more than a dozen sword marks on his body.
"Two junior brothers, don't waste time here, we still have to go to Eastern Qingzhou to take the Eternal Academy exam. Three swords in one, we quickly finished him. ”
Sure enough, the three of them pointed their swords together, and after a few handprints changed rapidly, a stegosaurus roared out and went straight to the Zodiac priest. Huang Zhongkun hurriedly took a few steps back, the dust fluttered and waved, and the green spiritual power quickly gathered into a light curtain in front of him. However, the moment the sword qi touched the light curtain, the zodiac priest even saw the little ghost beckoning to him. He didn't run anymore, he didn't fight back, he even closed his eyes, because he was tired and tried his best. But after a loud "boom", he only heard three screams.
When Huang Zhongkun opened his eyes, he saw two women and a man in front of him smiling at him. The black robes and white printed costumes of the three are not surprising, and the two women are still handsome in their twenties, but the men are burly with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks. And the three disciples of the Sword Sect were lying motionless not far away, seeing that there was no breath, Huang Zhongkun hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.
"Thank you to the three for the rescue, the poor road is here, and the next day will be a good reward, and today the poor road is injured and said goodbye. After Huang Zhongkun finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but the man blocked his way.
"Hehe, don't be in a hurry to leave! Another day is not as good as today, we have something to trouble you now!"
Huang Zhongkun's face changed greatly, could it be said that it would be difficult to escape today. But one of the women smiled and said:
"Don't panic, the Blood Eagle is joking with you, we do have something to discuss with the Daoist, but there is absolutely no malice towards the Daoist, and we won't ask about what you do. On the contrary, we will also give you a chance to have a brilliant career on the Xiuzhen Road. My surname is Wang, and my single name is a Filipino character. This is my senior sister Jiang Chen'e, he is my junior brother Blood Eagle. Could the Taoist please let us sit at Guibao Temple? ”
Huang Zhongkun saw that the faces of the two women were good, and the women who spoke spoke in a kind tone. I let down my guard in my heart, and besides, if it wasn't for the three of us who saved me just now, I wouldn't have had a chance to think about the future.
"If the three benefactors don't dislike my broken Dao temple and its simplicity, then please come with me!" Huang Zhongkun finished speaking, and without saying anything else, he rushed towards his lair, he also believed that he could solve the three Sword Sect disciples in the middle stage of the knot in an instant, and he would not be able to escape no matter what. Huang Zhongkun, who was calm in his heart, couldn't afford to have any other thoughts, and honestly took Faye Wong, Jiang Chen'e and Blood Eagle back to his Taoist temple.
This is a remote town in the southwest of the Warcraft Mountains. There are only a few hundred families in the town, and almost all of them make a living from hunting and medicine. The Yuntai Temple of Yuntai Mountain in the north of the same town is the only Taoist temple within a radius of 100 miles, because the people who often enter the mountain to deal with the demonic beasts will inevitably be injured or face death, so the Taoist temple has been burning incense for thousands of years.
Huang Zhongkun is actually more than 200 years old now, and there are dozens of disciples and grandchildren. But he didn't dare to have any other thoughts, and respectfully welcomed Faye Wong and the three into the backyard of the Taoist temple. and instructed the apprentices to come to the distinguished guests, no matter who could enter his house to disturb them, the apprentices naturally became more respectful to Faye Wong and the others.
After the four of them sat down, Huang Zhongkun continued to introduce:
"Three benefactors, please listen to the poor Taoist continue to introduce, this Taoist temple existed before my ancestor, and it is also a well-known ancient temple, and my ancestor and master left and handed it over to me. I've been managing it for almost fifteen years now, but the incense is constant. It's just that there have been a lot of rumors about demon cultivation recently, and many people have disappeared or moved away. ”
"That's because your master also knows that raising chickens and taking eggs is a long stream, but you have done the business of killing chickens and taking eggs. Aren't you afraid of retribution? If we hadn't saved you in time, you would have died at the hands of those three Sword Sect disciples. ”
Huang Zhongkun glanced at the woman who spoke, and hurriedly said with a smile:
"Miss Jiang's lesson is that in the future, the poor road will definitely change its mind and benefit one party. ”
"Alright, Daoist. We've already said we're not pretentious knights, we only saved you because we needed your cooperation. Faye Wong interrupted Huang Zhongkun's continued flattery.
"Okay! The meaning of the three of them is understood, and if you have any orders, you must do it. ”
"Well, in that case, we won't beat around the bush. Dao Leader, have you heard of the Yin Corpse Sect?"
Huang Zhongkun was taken aback when he heard Faye Wong's words, but he replied quietly on the surface:
"Yin Corpse Sect? Poor Dao heard a thing or two from Gu Gu, saying that this Yin Corpse Sect specializes in using human corpses to refine puppets to fight for itself, and the evil skills it cultivates are also extremely weird. We righteous monks do not tolerate it, although we have survived, we have not prospered. I don't know what the three of them are doing to find the Yin Corpse Sect? But there is a deep hatred, and Poor Dao will definitely do his best to find out their whereabouts for the three of them. ”
Huang Zhongkun had just finished speaking, when he suddenly "snapped". Blood Eagle suddenly stood up in a row.
"Old Dao: If we hadn't investigated clearly, we wouldn't have killed three Sword Sect disciples to save you. Half a month ago, the old man of the Liu family in the town died, you did things for the Liu family during the day, but at night you not only sucked the soul of the old man Liu and made a scary corpse, but also slept with the fourth aunt of the old man, and finally made the fourth aunt die of the yin. Subsequently, the daughter of the Li family died suddenly, and the body was found as a dry corpse. When you escaped from the Li family's house that night, did you see a red eagle running away for you? Three days ago, you and your brothers and sisters saw the fisherman by the river supporting you before running errands, and afterwards, let the fisherman take you into the cave west of the town. In the cave, there are many skeletons and bones, and there can be corpse soul pools and boys and girls. Lao Dao's misdeeds of yours alone are enough to cramp and peel your skin, abolish your cultivation, and cut the corpses of thousands of people in the town. You can't survive, you can't die. ”
As soon as Blood Eagle finished saying this, Huang Zhongkun, who had already died once, was still trembling all over, and his face was like ashes. As the saying goes, death is not terrible, what we are afraid of is the moment when we face death.
"The three of them are so magnanimous and virtuous, Zhong Kun will be driven by the three benefactors from now on. ”
Huang Zhongkun wanted to say all the good things in the world, but Faye Wong interrupted him.
"Dao Leader doesn't have to be like this, we just need you to take us into the main altar of the Yin Corpse Sect, I promise to give you the opportunity to become the sect leader, and let you practice the highest exercise of the Yin Corpse Sect, the Three Turns of the Corpse Soul. Allowing you to become an overlord like the Six Sects is just a snap of a finger. Chen'e's sister, Blood Eagle, showed her hand to the Taoist chief. ”
Jiang Chen'e smiled slightly, and suddenly her beauty turned into a bleeding skeleton, with a big mouth, countless small snakes quickly crawled out, one of them wrapped around her top-grade King Kong gourd, and the gourd instantly turned into a puddle of liquid. The blood eagle stretched out its hands, and a blood-red giant eagle appeared, its wings flapped slightly, and the air flow rushed out of the roof, followed by thunder, and a violent storm came in an instant.
At this time, several apprentices rushed in from outside. The small snakes around the skeleton suddenly turned into sharp arrows and shot out instantly, and several Taoist priests who had already formed the early stage of the Dan Dynasty fell without even saying a word. After a few breaths, it turned into a puddle of blood, not even a single hair was left. Seeing that this zodiac chief who had killed even young girls and babies suddenly felt like vomiting. Before Huang Zhongkun could react, the Blood Eagle had already disappeared, and after half a pillar of incense, the Blood Eagle appeared in the house again.
The next day, Huang Daochang found that none of his apprentices were missing, and only a dozen or so of the youngest disciples who had not yet built a foundation were cleaning the courtyard. Huang Zhongkun sighed secretly in his heart, explained a few words to a few apprentices who had some impressions, and then left the town with the three princesses.
