Chapter 17: Lead the snake out of the hole
"That's right! It must be him!Otherwise we wouldn't have been discovered!" he said, pointing to the disciple called the ghost, and his tone was quite affirmative.
The ghost did not expect to be accused for no reason, and trembled, waved his hand again and again, and shouted "It's not me, it's not me!"
"Hmph, who else could you be?, I tell you, you'd better hurry up and pray for the success of this mission, or I'll be the first to kill you before you return to the master!" The leading ghost found an outlet for his anger, grabbed the young man by the neck, and tried to strangle him to death.
The throat was caught, his face was red, he was about to die, his eyes were white, and he desperately wanted to break the hand of the soul, but unfortunately the gap between the two was too big, and he had been bullied by the other party for many years, and he had left a shadow in his heart, and he didn't dare to resist at all.
Seeing that the other party didn't even have the courage to resist, he seemed to think that it was not interesting to bully him, so he threw him aside with a hard throw, "If it weren't for the fact that you could still serve us tea and water, you would be dead today! Get away from me!" After speaking, he turned around and continued to look at the situation in the valley, not caring about the young man's life or death.
He crawled up, quickly gasped for breath, and after a while, he quickly bowed down and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for sparing your life!" He slammed his head on the ground a few times, causing everyone around him to laugh at him, laughing at him for being as timid as a mouse.
Everyone was so humiliated, not only did they not make him angry, but they deliberately put on a smiling face, and looked as lowly as they wanted.
The rotting bones under the shade of the trees emitted a foul smell, and a few crows hovered in the sky overhead, and from time to time there was a disgusting hiss, Qi Yue covered his nose and turned his face to look at it, for fear of throwing it out.
Even Jiang Yuan, who was accustomed to killing, didn't want to see more when he saw this scene, so he turned around and instructed his disciples, "Find a place to bury these people, no! In order to prevent these cult methods, it is better to burn them."
"Yes, uncle!" Several disciples endured the discomfort in their stomachs, covered their mouths and noses with their cuffs, and began to clean up.
After finding a place with better air, Jiang Yuan called the disciple before, "Where is Zhengyi?"
Hearing the call, he took three steps and made two steps to his side, bowed down and said, "What does Uncle Shi command?"
Looking at the surroundings of the entire valley, he faintly had some thoughts in his heart: "Before, you said that you were afraid that those evil demons would turn tigers away from the mountain, in my opinion, you are right!"
Shocked, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Yuan, "Uncle, do you mean ......?"
"That's right! Nine times out of ten, those people haven't left, they should still be around this valley, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback again."
"How did Uncle Shi find out?" Zhengyi was a little strange, why did this little Uncle know that those people hadn't left yet.
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he smiled contemptuously, "Hmph! According to what you said, they didn't expect the matter to be revealed last night, which means that their original mission target should be the elixir in the valley, and according to the rules of their evil way, if the mission fails, they will be severely punished at the least, and their lives will be at worst." So this group of people will definitely not give up so easily."
The disciples beside him, even Qi Yue, felt that what he said was very reasonable, and couldn't help but glance at this senior uncle in his heart.
The disciples of the Yan Corpse Sect, who were still watching in the distance, did not expect that he and the others were about to face annihilation, and at this moment they were still bullying the ugly disciple called Yan Ghost on the side of Youzai.
"Even so, then Uncle I'll take someone to search!" The current Zhengyi urgently needed to prove his ability in front of Jiang Yuan, so he took the lead in asking for his life.
But Jiang Yuan stopped him and said, "No! Now that gang of people must be watching our every move somewhere, we will definitely startle the snake if we go out with great fanfare, so we have to find another way to lure the snake out of the hole!"
What Uncle Shi said was" secretly annoyed, almost ruining the big thing because of his recklessness. Suddenly, he patted his head one by one and said, "Uncle Shi, I have thought of a good solution!"
Although Qi Yue on the side didn't hear what the two of them said, he knew that the group was going to be unlucky when he looked at Jiang Yuan's smile and satisfied expression.
After a while, Jiang Yuan walked out of the valley with a large number of elite disciples such as Zhengyi, and Jiang Yuan at the mouth of the valley suddenly raised his voice and shouted to the left-behind disciples, "Since the matter is over, we will go back to the sect to report the situation!
The people of the Yan Corpse Sect who were hiding on the cliff naturally heard it, and the emaciated disciple approached the Yan Soul, "Senior brother, did you hear me? That group is leaving! Our chance has come!" His excitement was irrepressible, and he waited for more than ten hours and finally waited for the opportunity.
Yan Soul was proud in his heart, "How about it? Let you listen to me! Everyone, listen, when the gang gets off the mountain, we will immediately rush in and kill the guards inside, and when the time comes, we will get the elixir, and we will be a great achievement!"
Yan Soul's words made the atmosphere that was still lifeless just now suddenly rise, and everyone seemed to be fantasizing about the various rewards of the sect after they had made great achievements, thinking of this, their eyes were red and they stared at Jiang Yuan and the others below, as if all this had become a foregone conclusion.
When they were in front of them and ready to make a move at any time, no one noticed the bullied teenager, and a trace of worry flashed in their eyes.
Because they were in a higher position, the scene in the entire valley could be seen at a glance, and the group of people kept watching Jiang Yuan and the others walk down the mountain on the other side after crossing the chain bridge, and then slowly put their minds at ease.
"Senior brother, that group of people has gone far away, we can't get up!" The disciple beside him was already a little unable to hold back.
At this time, Yan Soul was struggling a little in his heart, and he always felt that things were going too smoothly, and there was something wrong, but he couldn't stand the urging of the people around him, and gritted his teeth, "Okay!
"In that case, let's go!" said one of the disciples, about to jump down.
"Wait!" the wrath suddenly stopped the other party, and everyone looked at him, a little confused about what he was going to do.
His eyes rolled again and again, and he was always a little uneasy in his heart, and he reached out to press the corpse coffin that was placed aside and said: "Since success or failure is here, in order to ensure the success of the mission, everyone will bring their own corpses!"
"But senior brother, the master has instructed not to reveal his identity, if he ......" The disciple was a little weak-hearted, and he shuddered when he thought of the criminal law in the sect.
"But what? If we fail to complete this mission, it will be a dead end, on the contrary, as long as the mission is completed, who will know our identity once those guards die!" Seeing that someone dared to oppose his proposal, he seemed to feel provoked, and his tone was quite unhappy.
Knowing that Yan Soul was ruthless at this time, he didn't dare to contradict him too much, and everyone could only nod yes.
In the valley, a left-behind disciple whispered to the person next to him, "Hey, did you say Senior Brother Zhengyi's trick worked?
"Shh~ whispered, if that group of people heard the grass and startled the snake, our sin would be great!" pointed to his lips and signaled the other party not to talk more.
"What person!!" Just as the disciple wanted to refute two sentences, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking the sky, and his figure flashed, and in an instant, a strangely shaped hidden weapon whistled past his neck.
After gaining a firm foothold, he immediately turned around to look, only to see a dozen people carrying huge coffins in front of him, coming towards the two of them, and one of them was holding several pairs of hidden weapons just now.
Seeing that his secret weapon was actually dodged by an ordinary disciple, the man showed a look of surprise, "I actually dodged it?
At this time, someone next to him laughed and said: "Haha, you can save the sparrow! With the level of your hidden weapon, it is usually difficult to fight a bird, let alone a big living person!"
"That's right, you said that you don't need to put a good corpse, you have to practice some hidden weapons, don't you say that you are not humiliating yourself?"
Several people teased each other, not taking the two guard disciples in their eyes at all, in their opinion, these two people were already dead people, there was no need to say more.
Seeing the information revealed by the words of several people, coupled with the extremely conspicuous coffin behind them, the two of them knew who they were, no matter how dull they were.
When the two guard disciples saw these people, not only were they not afraid, but a strange smile overflowed on their faces, and this smile couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in the eyes of the Yan Soul, "What's going on, what are these two people laughing at?"
Although he was apprehensive in his heart, he was already riding a tiger at the moment, glared at the few people who were still laughing, and after quieting them down, he said to the two people: "Where is the elixir? I advise you to hand it over obediently, lest we do it ourselves."
"Hehe, what you want is in the valley, if you have the ability, come in and get it!" As soon as the last word "take" came out, the two of them ignored everyone as if they had discussed it, turned around and rushed towards the valley.
"Chase them, don't let them run!" shouted from the crowd, and a dozen or so people rushed up and rushed into the valley.
The soul couldn't stop it, and an accident would inevitably happen, so he simply rushed in with him.
Only the ghost was left in the end, and for some reason, before entering the valley, he deliberately carefully observed the surrounding environment, and after finding something, he also followed in.
A total of five disciples were left in the valley, and at this time they all gathered in the open space in front of the house, attacking and defending each other, and the long swords in their hands were in unison, carefully paying attention to the people surrounding them.
"Run, why don't you run?!" Before, it was a disciple of the Corpse Sect with a hidden weapon, seeing that no one was surrounded by groups and couldn't escape, he looked up to the sky and laughed, full of mockery.
"Senior brother, there is nothing in the house!" shouted a disciple as he came out of the last room.
"I'll give you another chance, say, where is the elixir?" "Bang!" he lowered the coffin on his back to the ground, looked at the besieged five people and asked.
