Chapter 13: The Man Behind the Scenes
When everyone heard me say that I had found the golden pill and that my realm had been restored, they were all happy for me
I said, "Thank you for suppressing the poison gas for Shixiong, but we still have to find the mastermind as soon as possible, otherwise everything may be unpredictable." ”
"yes, Boss, those zombies already have minds, and it's going to be hard for us to deal with them if we wait. Qinglong said
I nodded: "Yes, maybe the last time we wiped out all those puppet zombies, the mastermind behind the scenes has already found out about us, so he no longer sucks the blood of those people, and still retains some of their thoughts." ”
I said and thought for a moment, "It seems that this puppet technique cultivated by that person is not very simple, not only can it control four people, but it can also control living people, and even the mind can be controlled, if I can get that secret book, I will send it." ”
I sensed something, and I radiated my soul power, and found that a man had stumbled to the door of the inn, covered in blood.
"Did you feel anything?" I asked, frowning
Zixia and the others nodded: "We feel the breath of puppet zombies. ”
After hearing this, I also nodded: "That's right, it's the breath of a puppet zombie, let's go out and have a look." ”
Soon we came to the antechamber, and saw a young man lying in the doorway, his hand stretched out into the hall, and whispering, "Help! Help......
I walked up to the man and tried to help him up, but the green dragon walked up to me: "Boss, be careful! don't get hurt by them." ”
I waved my hand: "It's okay, although he has the breath of a puppet zombie, but I can feel that this person is not a puppet, come, help him in." ”
Qinglong nodded, and then helped the young man into my room with me, and then said to Yifeng, "Brother Yifeng will help take a look at his injuries, and try to heal him if he can be cured." ”
Yifeng nodded, and then walked to the bed to investigate the young man's condition, Qinglong came over and asked, "Boss, there is no problem in treating this person, but we still have to quickly find clues to find the whereabouts of the mastermind behind the scenes!"
I looked at Qinglong with a smile: "Hey, you learned a lot of ruffian breath from Wu Yue, but you didn't learn my cleverness, this young man is covered in wounds, and he also has the breath of a puppet zombie, what does that mean?"
Qinglong asked, "What does it mean?"
Xue Qin said: "It means that this person must have had contact with the puppet zombie, but I am afraid that the only person behind the scenes can hurt this person like this." ”
Qinglong still didn't understand, I said: "It's impossible for zombies to pass through that fence, and only people can pass through the fence, so this young man is our clue, and if we treat him well, we will be able to find the mastermind behind the scenes." ”
When Qinglong heard this, he exclaimed, "Oh! ”
I glanced at Qinglong with my eyes, then touched my nose and said, "You don't have to pat yourself on the back, hehe......"
When Qinglong saw me wiping his nose, he ducked back: "Boss, don't do this! ”
I shuddered, and then said, "It's so numb, let's take a break." ”
After a stick of incense, Yifeng wiped the sweat from his forehead, then stood up and walked up to us and said, "This person is not seriously injured, but he has been controlled by a silver needle." ”
"Silverneedle? is this man under control, and what is going on now?" I asked
Yi Feng said: "It's not a big problem, but fortunately the treatment is timely, if it is a quarter of an hour later, this person will become a zombie, I suspect that the person did it on purpose." ”
"There is this possibility, maybe that person will do this in order to make everyone in the east of the city poisoned, but his wishful thinking is wrong this time. I said
"Ahem!" was as we were talking, when suddenly we heard the young man cough twice
When we heard this, we hurried to the bedside, and I saw that the young man was struggling to sit up, and I quickly stepped forward to help the latter up.
"Where is this?" the young man asked
I said, "This is my room, you're safe now." ”
The young man said, "You saved me?" and I nodded.
Qinglong stepped forward and asked, "What's your name?"
The young man said, "My name is Zhou Sheng. ”
Suddenly, Zhou Sheng shouted, "Hurry up and help!"
Zixia said, "You say slowly, what's wrong? Everyone in the east of the city is here?"
Zhou Sheng said: "No, hurry up and save my sister." ”
Qinglong asked, "What's wrong with your sister?"
Zhou Sheng knelt down and said, "Please save my sister, he was captured by Ma Yan." ”
"Ma Yan?" we were all surprised when we heard Ma Yan's name, "why is he here?"
Qinglong said: "Boss, could it be someone with the same name and surname? Isn't Ma Yan cultivating in Nalong?"
I turned my head and asked, "Zhou Sheng, have you seen that Ma Yan?"
Zhou Sheng nodded, "That Ma Yan looks like he is in his early twenties, and he is also white and clean, but I saw a black flame on his forehead." ”
"Black flames?" Qinglong was a little shocked when he heard this, "Could it really be Ma Yan?"
"Qinglong, how can you be sure that this person is Ma Yan?" I wondered
Qinglong said: "Ma Yan cultivates fire-based exercises, and his exercises are very peculiar. ”
After hearing this, I nodded: "No matter who he is, as long as he is a person who is harmful to the common people, we will eliminate harm for the people." I turned my head and looked at Zhou Sheng again, "Then do you know where Ma Yan is hiding now?"
Zhou Sheng nodded: "I know." ”
I said, "Then after your injuries heal in a few days, take us to capture Ma Yan." ”
Zhou Sheng nodded, and then fell asleep again, and I stood up, "Brother Yifeng, we must protect Zhou Sheng and not let him be harmed in any way, but we still have to find a way to deal with Ma Yan." ”
"Yes, Ma Yan has cultivated fire-based exercises, and he has also practiced puppet techniques, especially his fire-based exercises are very peculiar, and they are not at all different from the fire-based exercises practiced by the boss and Zixia, so we have to be careful. Qinglong said
"Zixia, have you seen Ma Yan's cultivation of fire-based exercises?" I asked
Zixia nodded: "Yes, when we returned to Nalong Xiu, we happened to see him coming back from outside cultivation, and I saw him demonstrate his results in front of everyone, only to see a move in his right hand, and a black flame appeared in the palm of his hand. ”
"What's next?" I asked
Qinglong said: "He pushed his palm with black flames forward, and the flames flew out, and a huge stone instantly turned into powder. ”
I exclaimed: "I didn't expect that after seeing Ma Yan for so long, he turned from an ordinary person who didn't know anything to a master all of a sudden, we must be careful this time." ”
Xue Qin said: "I'm afraid that this time we may not be able to kill Ma Yan." ”
I said, "yes, but it's good to teach him some lessons this time, and if he can change his ways, we won't be guilty of the past, and let's just treat everything here as an accident." ”
A few days later, under the leadership of Zhou Sheng, we came to an old house in the west of the city, which was already overgrown with weeds, and we could feel a trace of an eerie atmosphere, at this moment, we heard a burst of ghost crying wolf howls from the direction of Yin Mountain.
We stopped and looked in the direction of Yin Mountain, and then continued to walk inside, Yi Feng and I walked in the front, and Zhou Sheng was protected by Xue Qin, Zixia, and Qinglong.
Qinglong looked around cautiously, "This doesn't look like the place where Ma Yan is, doesn't he like he can stay in such a dirty place?"
I said, "He is no longer the same Ma Yan as before, but an unscrupulous demon who wants to cultivate, you have to be careful." ”
Zixia said: "Brother Shixiong, you also have to pay more attention, although your skills have improved now, but if you want to deal with Ma Yan, you can't." ”
I said as I walked: "Don't worry, I'm a self-aware person, you will go up to deal with Ma Yan in a while, and I will just watch from the side." ”
"Zhou Sheng, there's no movement here, is Ma Yan really here?" Qinglong asked Zhou Sheng
Zhou Sheng pointed to a patio in the middle of the abandoned house, "He's under this." ”
"Looks like there's a secret passage here, do you know how to get down?" I said, and then used my soul power to investigate, but there was no movement.
I looked at Zixia and Xue Qin again, and they also shook their heads, "It seems that the Qinglong cultivation method is really strange and unfathomable!"
Zhou Sheng said: "There is an ancient well in the middle of that patio, as long as you turn left three times around the ancient well, and then turn right three times, and finally what qi or force is input into it, you can open the mechanism." ”
I said to Qinglong, "Go, Qinglong." ”
Qinglong came to the side of the ancient well, and according to what Zhou Sheng said, he turned left three times around the ancient well, turned three times to the right, and transported a trace of true yuan force to the ancient well, only to see that the ancient well suddenly trembled, and after a while, the ancient well rose upward.
Qinglong hurriedly retreated, and when the ancient well rose to the height of two people, he stopped, and Qinglong saw that there was a doorway in the place facing him, so he walked over and whispered: "Boss, it seems that this is the passage, let's go down now." ”
I nodded: "Everyone be careful, protect Zhou Sheng." ”
As soon as we entered the entrance of the passage, the ancient well descended again, and when we reached the bottom of the well, we saw that the underground was all red, and we could hear the roar of puppet zombies.
Then I heard someone say, "Haha, I didn't expect this puppet technique to be so powerful, and it is really powerful when combined with my dark flame." ”
When I heard the man say "Dark Flame", I was stunned, "What? It turned out to be the Demon Flame? Could it be that he has already become a demon? Maybe this Ma Yan is not that Ma Yan, he can't become a demon." ”
"Who is it? Someone dares to come to the deity, it seems that he is impatient, and it just so happens that the deity uses you to sacrifice the flag. The man said and moved quickly towards us.
Xue Qin and Zixia shouted, "Be careful!" and then stepped forward and protected us behind them.
I saw the person in front of me clearly: "Ma Yan, is it really you?" I saw the black flame mark on his forehead, and then saw that his lips were dark red, and the fingernails of his hands were also very long, and his hair was dark red.
"Wang Shixiong, I was looking for you, but I didn't expect you to send it to the door yourself?" Ma Yan said
I was surprised, "Ma Yan, how did you become like this?"
Ma Yan snorted coldly and said, "Why did I become like this? All this is thanks to you, if it weren't for you, how would I have come to this point." ”
"By me?" I wondered
Ma Yan pointed at me angrily: "If it weren't for that Xudu Immortal Skill Competition, you would have injured me, how could I go back to learn the art of cultivating immortals, if I didn't practice, how would I go crazy, fortunately, I was fortunate enough to get two exercises, so that the demonic qi was controlled, I am not a human now, a ghost is not a ghost, it is all caused by you, if I can't kill you with my own hands, I am not Ma Yan." ”
After hearing this, I remembered that there was such a thing a few years ago, and I thought that this matter was solved like this, but I didn't expect it to be like this now, although I felt a little guilty in my heart, but he couldn't let him go if he did something heinous.
I looked at Ma Yan and didn't speak, but Ma Yan was different, I saw his hands wave, and a beautiful woman walked over thinking about us in a daze.
At this time, I heard Zhou Sheng shouting: "Sister." And he rushed forward regardless of the danger, but fortunately was pulled by Qinglong, "You don't want to live?"
Zhou Sheng said: "She is my sister, I want to save her." ”
"Just because you want to save her, it's better for you to be my puppet zombie king together, in this way, my realm will also be greatly improved, and if you want a pair of male and female puppet kings who are related by blood, I can be invincible in the world, haha......"
"Ma Yan, you are crazy, you are endangering the world, hurry up and arrest it. As he spoke, he stabbed forward with his sword, and a rune appeared in his hand
I said loudly: "Brother Yifeng, this rune is useless to the people of the Demon Realm, he has now entered the Demon Dao, you have to be more careful." ”
After hearing this, Yi Feng put away the rune, then raised the sword in front of him, and then gathered the true yuan power with his other hand, and attacked towards Ma Yan.
Ma Yan controlled the puppet zombie king to fight against Yifeng, only to see Yifeng quickly detour behind the zombie king, but he didn't expect the speed of the zombie king to be almost the same as the speed of Yifeng.
The Zombie King threw his hand at Yifeng, and as soon as Yifeng dodged it, he saw the former squirt blood-red liquid from his mouth.
Fortunately, Leaning Wind noticed it in time, and opened it more, only to see the red liquid fall to the ground, and it began to spread, and then corroded the ground into a groove an inch deep.
When everyone saw that such a venom had corroded the marble floor, they all gasped, and I stepped forward and held the seven-star sword in my hand, "Ma Yan, I will fight with you." ”
