Chapter 43: Murder and Silence

Walking through the swamp with a strong miasma, Nie Heng and his party finally saw the outline of the stone mountain, and when they were close at hand, he dismissed a group of his subordinates and prepared to enter the grotto alone, at this moment, a word came from behind him.

"Did you kill it?" Nie Heng turned to look, it was the gray-clothed Taoist priest, Li Daolin, his whole body was hidden in the darkness, and his words revealed a sinister aura.

"No, I left him alone, and I don't think he will live long. It seems that Li Daolin already knew that Nie Heng went out to kill Qiu Xin, and he waited here to confirm whether he had killed him, hearing Nie Heng's answer, Li Daolin did not speak, but approached Nie Heng's side, and slapped Nie Heng directly in the face, and said.

"Nie Heng, is it too indulgent to you on weekdays, so that you don't know what to do, it's just a matter of being powerful in front of your subordinates, and you are not polite to the poor in front of the Lord. ”

"You ......" Although Nie Heng received a slap on his face, he didn't shout at Li Daolin like he did in the stone room, but looked at Li Daolin with some fear in his eyes, and there was a little resentment in his heart.

At this time, I heard Li Daolin say, "Nie Heng, but the poor Dao wants to remind you not to forget your humility, you are just a minion, and now you disobey the order again and don't kill this person, there will be nothing for this month." With that, he took out a black cloth bag from his bosom and threw it into the swamp.

Seeing this, Nie Heng's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, I didn't mean to keep him alive, but I have the lord's cronies in my group of subordinates, if I kill him, the lord will definitely kill me if he knows." ”

Li Daolin snorted coldly and said, "The Lord has me on his side, what are you afraid of? You take someone there immediately, and if you can't bring back this person's head, then come back with your own head." ”

Nie Heng heard this, "I'll go now, but that thing..."

"If this is done, I will spare you for once. Li Daolin said as he walked into the depths of darkness, in the mountains.

After Li Daolin left, Nie Heng stood up, waved his hand to interrupt the bushes next to him, and then turned around and walked towards the way he came.

At this time, Qiu Xin was already half dead, lying under the big locust tree on the official road, leaving only a faint breath, I was afraid that Nie Heng would come again, and Qiu Xin would die.

"Daddy, stop now, there seems to be a person there. In the dark night sky, a crisp female voice remembered, and by the bright firelight in front of the carriage, it took away the dying autumn heart.

Half an hour later, when Nie Heng came here again, only the empty and trampled grass remained, and the faint bloody aura remained, and Qiu Xin had long since disappeared.

In order to prevent Qiu Xin from waking up and crawling elsewhere, Nie Heng anxiously searched around, but found nothing, so he had to look up to the sky and roar, kneel on the ground, and then raised the knife in his hand many times to commit suicide, but stopped, and then as if he had lost his soul, he covered his left shoulder with one hand and staggered towards the direction of the swamp.

In the early night, I was alone and half-hearted, and the spring breeze was all over the ground to kill people.

.........

And thousands of miles away, there is no Qiuxin and Xiaobai, and there is no joy on Qingsang Mountain, Gu Zangfeng stood on the top of the cliff with his hands in his hands, the cold wind blew his beard, and his face was full of sadness.

Yaozhou, Jingmo walked on the brightly lit streets with a book basket on his back, and from time to time he made remarks and teased the bewitching singers on the bustling spring floor, smiling, thinking, if Qiu Gongzi was here, I am afraid he would have to talk about himself again.

Qingzhou Los Angeles, today there is no one in front of the fortune telling booth, suddenly there is a meteor in the sky, the fortune teller sees this, takes out the turtle piece, completes a hexagram, looks solemn, I don't know what to understand this hexagram, stay for a long time, put away the fortune telling stall early, leave here.

.........

And on the bitter forest peak of Mount Tai, everyone stayed awake all night, waiting for the dawn to end the trip to the beast park as soon as possible, and this is a good time for wild beasts to forage for food.

Without any warning, suddenly a cold gust of wind blew out the fire in the center of the clearing, and then the sound of rustling sounded everywhere, and the disciples of the Hidden Sect who were guarding behind everyone suddenly woke up and whistled, and for a while everyone stood up and looked around vigilantly and confusedly.

Then the five disciples of the Hidden Sect jumped from the tree to the center of the clearing, and said in unison, "Hurry up!" Then the disciples who participated in the big test surrounded the center, and then they were about to walk towards the bushes, and they heard the sound of rustling, so the lewd man Qin Sanxiao said.

"Senior brothers, what's going on?" and the purple-clothed disciple standing beside him was just about to turn his head and signal him to silence, when suddenly a loud shout came.

But it was Ling Zhiyu who covered her mouth and pointed to the side of the open space in horror, everyone looked in the direction, and by the moonlight, they saw that the ground was full of colorful snakes, spitting scarlet snake letters, and the Hidden Sect disciples who were surrounding the side moved slightly, and they were about to move slowly to the other side.

At this time, the cold light appeared, the shadow of the knife had risen, I saw Zong Rui quickly raise the knife in his hand, swing the knife down, cut the poisonous snake poking out of the tree in half, and fell to the ground, all the disciples of the Hidden Sect saw this, and said loudly, "Who asked you to do it?" Zong Rui didn't know why, he was still a little angry, and then heard a disciple say, "This kind of snake will be avenged, now you kill it, and it will be covered by ten thousand snakes later." ”

Zong Rui's face turned pale when he heard this, he clenched the knife in his hand again, and the encirclement formed by everyone moved to the other side, but he didn't go far, and the same dense group of snakes appeared in front of him, and on the surrounding trees, there were snakes that did not know the geometry, and the disciples of the Hidden Sect changed color one after another when they saw this.

At this moment, one of the disciples said, "Senior Brother Qian Yu, you break out first and report the situation here to the sect master, and we will resist here first." As soon as the words fell, a blue-clothed disciple flew up, holding a knife in his hand, and the blade was far superior to Zong Rui, and he split the poisonous snake on the trunk beside him in half, and then landed on the trunk with one foot.

Although it was powerful, he didn't dare to stay on the trunk for a while, so he got up and jumped to the other side, but the poisonous snake had already occupied so many trees around him, and he couldn't kill it at all, and when he left with his front feet, the trunk was occupied again, and these poisonous tongues were swift and sensitive, and they were about to bite Qian Yu several times.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the disciple who gave the order also jumped on the trunk of the tree, clenched his hands into fists, and a faint black mist appeared on his hands, and he actually faced the snake shadow with his bare hands, and the snakes that were wrapped around the tree were also smashed into flesh by his fist shadow and fell to the ground, but these snakes seemed to be endless.

The two of them jumped around the tree, every time they wanted to escape to the depths of the dense forest, they were forced back by the poisonous snake, and they could not escape from the surrounding, and the whole tree was full of poisonous snakes, and seeing the corpses of their companions stimulated their ferocity even more, and they rushed to the two of them without fear of death, but fortunately, the two were very careful when fighting with the snakes, and each time they skillfully avoided the tongue, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer.

Jumping over the last section of the tree trunk, the two exchanged eyes, Qian Yu landed firmly on the disciple's shoulder, the branch bent, and then the disciple sank down, and with the help of his strength, he threw Qian Yu diagonally into the air, flying far into the depths of the dense forest, leaving the encirclement of the snakes.

At this time, the disciple was already sweating profusely, and his feet were strong, and he jumped back into the clearing, and the snakes had already surrounded them.

Then the disciple took out a white medicine jar from his arms, and after opening it, the rich realgar breath gushed out, and the poisonous snake in front of him smelled it, and subconsciously retreated backwards, and everyone was happy, and the disciple tilted the medicine jar in his hand and sprinkled it evenly around.

After that, his body weakened and he sat on the ground, and when the disciples behind him saw this, they immediately surrounded him and said, "Senior Brother Mengqi, it doesn't matter to you. ”

Meng Qi gasped and replied, "I'm fine, it's just that my internal strength is weak, I didn't expect to meet the Caikui snake this time, but you must not step out of the boundary of the realgar liquid for half a step." And behind him, Cui Luo was a little incredulous when he heard this, and said, "Senior Brother Mengqi, is it Caikui Caikui, who is hungry for it, and the Caikui poisonous snake mentioned in it." ”

Meng Qi heard this, "It's this Caikui snake." Whether it is Sister Ling Zhiyu, or the princess of the Great Wilderness, or Zong Rui or the shrunken man Qin Sanxiao, they have never heard of any Caikui snakes, and they cast inquiring glances at Cui Luo, Cui Luo explained, "If it is really Caikui, it will be troublesome, this kind of snake is mostly born in the south, and it is almost invisible in the north, and it lives in groups, often tens of thousands." Therefore, if you kill one of the snakes, you will be besieged by the whole group of snakes, and they will not only eat the flesh and blood, but also the bones.

The more everyone listened, the more frightened they became, but they didn't interrupt him, and let him continue, Cui Luo swept his eyes around, and said, "This snake is day and night, and it is extremely poisonous, and the most terrifying thing is not these, but King Caikui." These snakes surround us, and do not attack, I am afraid that they are waiting for King Caikui, and sprinkling male yellow powder on the ground is just an expedient measure, if we wait until King Caikui comes, these poisonous snakes are afraid that they will rush up, relying on our people, we will not be able to resist no matter what. ”

Ling Zhiqin, Ling Zhiyu, and Long Hanyun are women, they have never seen so many cold-blooded things, and now after listening to Cui Luo's explanation, they are even more afraid, Long Hanyun is quite calm, but her face is pale, and Ling Zhiyu's two daughters are already trembling, and they don't even dare to look at the snake on the ground.

On the other hand, Zong Rui didn't dare to step forward when he saw the group of snakes, and he couldn't leave, so he simply sat down, looked at the poisonous snakes on the ground with cold eyes, but was calmer than the few old disciples present, and stuck the knife in his hand on the ground. ”

Everyone waited in this long torment, every moment was very long, waiting for Qian Yu to bring someone to save them.

After a stick of incense, Meng Qi, who was originally sitting on the ground, suddenly stood up and said to everyone, "Prepare to make a move." ”

Not far away, the snakes moved out of the way, and a huge multicolored snake wriggled and slid towards everyone.
