Chapter 11: The corpse at the bottom of the river
The next day. When Mo Chong appeared in the Alchemy Hall intact, almost everyone present had a strange look. Obviously, they know something. Mo Chong frowned secretly in his heart, he originally guessed that the person who shot last night was related to Xiang Tianyuan, but when he saw everyone's expressions today, this guess was immediately confirmed a little more. If it weren't for Xiang Tianyuan, the chief disciple of the Alchemy Hall, how could these senior brothers of the Alchemy Hall in front of him have such an attitude?
Although he was suspicious in his heart, Mo Chong didn't show anything on his face, but greeted everyone with a smile. Some of the people politely replied to the previous sentence, while others avoided answering. In the huge alchemy hall, the atmosphere became a little strange for a while. There is a person who doesn't seem to have any taboos about Mo Chong, it is the black-faced young man who pulled Mo Chong yesterday, he didn't wait for Mo Chong to take the initiative to greet him before he spoke first: "Yo, Senior Brother Mo, are you here today?"
Mo Chong heard that the black-faced young man seemed to have a voice in his words, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "Since I am a disciple of the Alchemy Hall, I naturally want to come." Speaking of which, I haven't asked the teacher to respect his name. ”
The black-faced young man smiled and waved his hand, and said, "What is the honorable surname, my name is Chen Datong." ”
Mo Chong smiled: "Oh, it turned out to be Senior Brother Chen. Senior Brother Chen seemed a little strange about coming here today, I don't know why?" As soon as this sentence was asked, Mo Chong suddenly became nervous, and at the same time noticed the changes in the expressions of the people around him.
Chen Datong was unaware of this, and just smiled and said, "Yes." I forgot that my junior brother just arrived yesterday, and I don't know this pattern. Uncle Bai would only come to the Alchemy Hall once a month on the fifteenth day of the first month, and he was free on weekdays. You see, aren't there a lot of brothers and sisters who haven't been there now? ”
As soon as Chen Datong said this, Mo Chong was immediately disappointed, he thought that Chen Datong would tell any clues about what happened last night. Chen Datong continued at this time: "I came here today just to try my luck and see if any of my senior brothers asked me to help with alchemy, what Master Bai said last night, I really want to practice it......
Since Uncle Bai won't come, Mo Chong has something in his heart, where can he stay in the Alchemy Hall? He immediately arched his hand towards Chen Datong and said, "Senior Brother Chen, Senior Brother also remembered that he had something to do, so he said goodbye, farewell, farewell." ”
Chen Datong was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head and said: "You have just entered the alchemy hall, and you are so lazy, how can you learn to succeed?......" For Chen Datong's words, Mo Chong can only be regarded as the wind in his ears, how can he be in any mood to waste here at this time.
Out of the Alchemy Hall, Mo Chong soon arrived on a deserted river beach. The Ten Thousand Swords Sect was huge, enveloping almost the entire Qingyuan Mountain Range in it. However, due to the concentration of aura, the vast majority of disciples will stay in the center of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, after all, one point higher in aura, one point higher in cultivation speed, and over time, this effect is very considerable.
After setting up some small obstacles around the river beach, Mo Chong reached into his arms and pulled out a black storage bag. This storage bag was obtained by killing the men in black before. At that time, Mo Chong only briefly checked the contents, and then vacated one of the storage bags for his own luggage. Later, due to Zhao Xuening's presence, Mo Chong was not easy to take out the things of the man in black, and then he entered the sect and encountered a series of things, and it was not until now that Mo Chong was free.
Mo Chong's current plan is naturally very clear. Someone wanted to disadvantage him, in addition to the 'Ten Fragrance Soft Muscle Scatter' that was about to be configured, Mo Chong of course also hoped to get some help from the storage bag of the man in black.
Four blades of different styles, a few illustrated books, two shields, a few talismans, and dozens of low-level spirit stones are all the things in the storage bag. Although Mo Chong had already seen it once, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw these things again. It's shabby. Obviously, the black-clothed men at that time only brought their blades and attacked Zhao Xuening, and there were no exercises and secrets or treasures in their own collections.
"The blade is not very handy. If you take it out and use it, you might get some trouble. Mo Chong examined the four blades one by one and set them aside.
"Well, the vajra cover, the dungeon talisman, this ...... Oh, the Firebird Talisman. Alas, it is also the firebird charm that is an attack charm. Mo Chong sighed and put the three talismans into his sleeve. Although there are storage bags, it is naturally more convenient to hide things in the sleeves and use them, not to mention that the talisman has no weight.
The illustrated book has been seen. Mo Chong directly put it away again, leaving two shields. The shields are made of silver on one side and leather on the other. Mo Chong had never used a magic weapon before, and he couldn't tell which was better than the other, so he groaned for a moment and put both shields into the storage bag. Dozens of spirit stones naturally have nothing to say, they are used to pay for the purchase of ten-spice soft tendon materials, and they can't be covered for a few days.
"Click. ”
A slight sound suddenly came from behind itself. Mo Chong was slightly startled, and hurriedly turned around, only to see two figures appear in that direction! Mo Chong didn't have time to think about it, swept the items in front of him into the storage bag, and then swept to the river, and the person dived into the river silently. He chose to tidy things up here because he took a fancy to the river.
And Mo Chong had just dived into the river, and the two figures had already reached the river beach, a man and a woman. The man is twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he looks like a talent, and the woman is about twenty, with a melon seed face full of spring, and is snuggling in the man's arms at this time and whispering: "Senior brother, you ...... You're not going to lie to me, are you?"
The man stroked the woman's hair, pretended to be angry, and said, "You still call me senior brother!"
The woman lowered her head and said softly, "Yes." Zhang Lang, you won't lose me, right?"
The man immediately swore to the sky, saying: "The emperor is above, the earth is below, I, Zhang Qishan, swear to the sky, I will be loyal to the Xiuxiu girl in this life, if there is a violation of this word, the sky will thunder, and I will not die well......"
"Don't! don't talk about it......" The man was just halfway through when he was immediately covered by a small white hand from the woman. The man stretched out his hand and grabbed the woman's hand and said: "Xiuxiu, I ......" The next development is naturally a concubine, dry firewood, upside down the dragon and phoenix, and Wushan clouds and rain......
At this time, Mo Chong was extremely uncomfortable. At the beginning, hiding was just his subconscious action, and he was naturally relieved when he saw the person clearly, but under the situation at that time, it was not easy for him to jump out and kill the scenery. Unexpectedly, this pair of young men and women are becoming more and more excessive, and now they are doing it directly in the wild. This made Mo Chong, who was watching in private, his blood was full of blood, but fortunately, he was soaked in the cold river water, but he could still maintain some sanity, and immediately gritted his teeth, looked away, and slowly went downstream along the riverbank.
"Huh!?"
After swimming seven or eight feet along the riverbank, Mo Zheng was startled by something under the water, and almost choked on the river. I saw that in the depths of the river, someone actually pressed a corpse with a large stone. The corpse had apparently been soaked in water for some time, and most of the flesh and bones on the corpse had disappeared, and even men and women could no longer be seen. However, judging from the white robe he was wearing, he should be a silver or gold medal male disciple of his sect.
After the initial surprise, Mo Chong quickly calmed down, he surfaced to change his breath and continued to dive, swimming around the corpse, and suddenly reached out and pulled the corpse's right hand holding his chest. Mo Chong didn't use very much force this time, but the corpse had been soaked in the water for a long time, and it was already loose and soft, and when Mo Chong pulled it like this, the corpse's entire right arm was pulled down by him, revealing the corpse's chest. I saw a purple-black wound on the chest of the corpse, a dark red bead slightly larger than a dragon's eye, embedded in the wound. As the right hand holding down his chest was pulled away, the dark red beads moved, and then they rolled down from the wound with a 'bone'.
'What is this?'
Mo Chong saw that the corpse's posture was strange, and he pulled it casually, but he didn't expect it to be really secret. However, this dark red bead was a little strange, and Mo Chong didn't dare to take it with his hands for a while, just stayed where it was. But something weird happened. It wasn't long before the dark red beads left the corpse. The purple-black wound on the corpse's chest spread all at once, and the entire corpse quickly turned into a purple-black slurry in front of Mo Chong's eyes.
"Poison!
Mo Chong's face suddenly changed when he saw the corpse. But fortunately, he was in the river, and the river was flowing again, and the purple-black slurry turned into by the corpse did not spread towards him, but was quickly diluted by the river water and finally disappeared. All that was left was a white robe crushed under a boulder.
I waited a long time. Mo Chong cautiously dived to the bottom of the water again and grabbed the dark red bead at the bottom of the river in his hand. This bead can suppress the extremely strange poison on the corpse, which is obviously not ordinary. But why didn't the person who poisoned and killed the owner of the bead take this magical bead away? Mo Chong was a little puzzled. Swam around the corpse again, no, it should be said that it was a white robe. Mo Chong found another thing. A golden nameplate. I didn't know where this nameplate was hidden before, but at this time, the body completely dissolved, and this nameplate was revealed.
Mo Chong carefully grabbed the nameplate, and the name on it was: Lin Jiannan.
'Lin Jiannan?'
Mo Chong silently read it, and wanted to throw away the nameplate, but after thinking about it, he put the nameplate away again. The name of the corpse should be Lin Jiannan. He hid the nameplate before he died, naturally hoping that one day his body would be found and his identity would be known from the nameplate. And judging from the fact that nothing was left on the corpse except for the dark red beads, the person who killed Lin Jiannan obviously didn't want anyone to know the identity of the dead man. If one day he came back here and saw the nameplate and learned that the identity of the body was exposed, he didn't know what he would do. If there was no nameplate here, the person who killed Lin Jiannan would not be too nervous even if he knew that the body had been seen.
