Chapter 66 Humanity (10)
Xiao Xia and Mingyue rushed to the cottage behind the four dog guards. "He deliberately took two or three steps late, but neither the Shifang who entered the first place or the four dog guards later caused any accidents."
Xiaoxia carefully paid attention to the traces outside the house. This was the main house of a very ordinary farmyard. Except for all the buildings around it, there was nothing to be strange about.
In the small house, as Shifang saw before, there was only a young woman who could not move, and a young man who had only breathe. Although the man had no limbs and the skin and muscles on his exposed head and face were aging completely differently, Xiao Xia could still recognize at a glance that Zhang Hengliang, who was still alive not long ago.
Zhang Hengliang's eyes turned and fell on Mingyue beside Xiao Xia. His lips moved slightly, but he couldn't say anything. Shifang half knelt beside him, put his hand on his neck and felt his blood, frowned and shook his head: "How could this be this? Master Zhang Hengliang's entire body of essence, blood and energy was so deficient... I couldn't see what was happening... It was like being sucked by the Demon Cultivation Cult... and it seemed a little different..."
"Huh? There is still a corpse here?" Shifang found a pile of garbage-like things in the corner of the wall again. "This is also the collapse of all the essence, qi and blood, but the technique seems to be completely different from what Master Zhang Xiao encountered... It's not that he was squeezed out, but it seems like he was exhausted... Huh? Is this... Master Liu Hongde, the senior brother of Zhenren Zhang?"
Xiao Xia didn't have the heart to care about what happened to Zhang Hengliang and the garbage on the ground. From the beginning of entering this room, his attention was on the four dog guards. As soon as he walked in, he felt the eyes of the four people, which were the sight of the hunting dog looking at the prey.
"Oh, these four brothers of Shadow Shirt Guards. Have your mission been completed?" Xiao Xia smiled at the four dog guards without a smile.
"Yes. The people we should take have been brought, and the people we should catch have also been caught." The dog guard with a strange nose spoke, and he seemed to be the leader of the four. He was raising a coma young woman from the ground with another dog guard. Xiao Xia could see that as they moved, the woman's limbs and joints were removed. She was so careful about a woman who was in a coma, which shows that these people were really careful in their actions.
Luo Yuanquan stood in the house and looked around, at a loss. It was obvious that these four people left him here and left him alone.
"Those four brothers, don't you help Luo Dangjia give me some advice? I don't think he understands what you want him to do... Haha, actually I don't understand... Can you please give me some advice?" Xiao Xia continued to smirk and slapped her with a slight smile. But her hands were caught in her sleeves and grabbed two talismans. Anyone who can enter the shadow guard is no match for underestimating. Even if these four people are just dog guards who are good at tracking, Xiao Xia dare not be careless at all.
"What do you four want to do? Do you want to fight?" Mingyue looked at the four people fiercely. Luo Yuanquan, who was looking around, immediately jumped over and blocked Mingyue's face when he saw this posture, and shouted angrily at the four dog guards: "What do you want to do? If I am there, don't try to touch a hair of a girl Mingyue!"
"The head of Luo San is at ease. Lord Wuji's order is to take you to the Water Patrol. We have brought you there. We don't know what to do next. But this Taoist priest is our next mission. Please don't interfere with us."
The dog guard just glanced at Luo Yuanyun indifferently, then hugged Xiaoxia and clasped his fists: "Is Taoist Qingfeng from Maoshan School? Lord Wuji has something to do to discuss with you."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Xiao Xia tightened her hands holding the talisman.
"We don't know what it is. Our task is to find your traces, and if possible, take you to Lord Wuji."
"What if I don't go?"
"It's natural that we can't force you if you don't go." The dog guard suddenly smiled.
"Oh?" Xiaoxia was a little surprised.
"We just need to report your whereabouts." The Dog Guard smiled with cunning, like an old fox with a dog's nose. "If you were just one person, the four of us would still think of forcibly asking you, but now there is the Mingyue girl who helps you, and the Luo San leader is blocking the middle. Our chances of winning are really not great. So just need to follow you, and there will naturally be other Tiger Guards. Even Lord Wuji will come to invite you in person."
"It's not that the four of us are arrogant. In such face-to-face situations, there are still people in the world who can get rid of our tracking. But Master Qingfeng, you are definitely not one of them. Of course, there are more people who can silence us all, but equally, Master Qingfeng, you will definitely not be able to do it even if you add Miss Mingyue."
"What I mean by this is that Master Qingfeng, you'd better follow us. From the information we collected, we can see that you are a very smart person and will never do stupid things. If you want to drag it to the point where everyone takes action, whether it hurts you or Miss Mingyue, it's something you don't want to see, right?"
After a while of silence, Xiao Xia suddenly smiled: "I don't think you should call the Dog Guard, it's more appropriate to call the Fox Guard."
The leader of the dog guard smiled faintly: "As long as you can complete the task, it doesn't matter what guard."
At this time, Shifang also stood up and bowed to the four dog guards: "Amitabha, why should the four shadow guards be tense? I will negotiate with Master Qingfeng about the matter. Now that the situation here is not clear, we should work together. At least we must first find out the murderer who has caused Master Zhang Hengliang to be like this."
"Ah. I made him like that, and I was the murderer. Sorry, I forgot to tell you."
Suddenly, a soft and soft sound rang out, and then a vine box rose into the air from the corner of the hut. There was originally a pile of furniture that had been shaken to collapse, and the vine box was mixed in it and was inconspicuous at all. Even the four dog guards did not notice it, and it was not until then that sound suddenly.
"Is it you? That bad guy!" The first person among everyone was Mingyue, and her reaction was quite fierce. She grabbed Xiaoxia and pulled him to Shifang, and then grabbed Shifang. "Little monk, have you seen it? It's the bad guy you let go. This time, you must catch him! The three of us will definitely beat him together!"
"Amitabha. It turns out to be this donor." Shifang also seemed to recognize the identity of this vine box and put it together. "I didn't expect that after parting that day, donor, you did evil things again. Did you, Taoist Master Zhang Hengliang, do this? The corpse over there... seems to be Taoist Master Liu Hongde? It was also caused by you? No wonder I felt the traces of the ghost curse on it."
"Is it...that snake Taoist?" Xiao Xia was also shocked. He never expected that the monster he met here was this long-lasting monster.
"Ah... A Yue, the little thief in the Shifang is bald. And the stinky Taoist priest named Xia... I know you are here. Are you chasing the old Taoist Liu or the son of Tianshi Zhang? Ah... it's okay, it doesn't matter... I was so excited. I was so surprised... I actually forgot what to do..." The vine box was pulled by a few silk threads and swayed in the air. The sound from it was still so ugly, or even more ugly, and even more sharp and erratic. Some were incoherent and a little trembling. It seemed too excited.
"Hey, the fat man over there is called the fat man from the Luo family." The screams in the vine box surprised everyone. Luo Yuanyun, who was called, was stunned. He didn't know why this strange thing in ancient times called him.
"Did Nangong Wuji ask those four dogs to bring you? Which garbage dump did he dig you out from a mass grave? Have he ever said he wanted you to do here? And, why... why... why did you say you want to protect Ayue? Do you like Ayue? Why do you like her? You just said you want to protect her? Ahahahahaha..." The vine box swayed left and right in the air like crazy, floating up and down, and the sound made became more and more sharp and unpleasant. The words were inexplicably explained, and almost no one knew what he was talking about. Why did he grab Luo Yuanyun, whom he had never seen before and ask.
Luo Yuanquan stared at the strange box in the air with his big eyes open, looking around and looking around to someone to ask, but saw that everyone else was looking at the box with a weird look and didn't have time to pay attention to him.
"This...why is this snake Taoist here?" Xiao Xia asked Shifang in a low voice in the harsh laughter of the snake Taoist.
"How can I know?" Shifang smiled bitterly. "My monk's wisdom eyes are really shallow, and I don't know what method this donor used. Maybe there are some tricks in the hiding vine box, and even if you face it, you can't see any truth or reality."
"Then... Zhang Hengliang was really what he did? Is that corpse over there Liu Hongde?"
"The old Taoist Liu Hongde was indeed dead under the ghost mantra. He must have been manipulated by the ghost mantra and led Zhang Hengliang here... But Zhang Hengliang's appearance... Maybe it's because I don't have enough eyesight to see..." Shifang's face was heavy, and he looked carefully at the vine box in the air. Although he was the highest cultivation here, he did not dare to be careless at all. He had seen the mysterious man's ghost mantra under the Tianhuo Mountain. At that time, he had to take the Buddhist treasure to restrain him. Now that the treasure has been returned to the Pure Land Zen Temple, he was also unsure.
"Hey, those four dogs." At this time, the vine box called out to the four dog guards, and his voice gradually calmed down. "Is it that Nangong Wuji who asked you to bring that fat man to me?"
"So it's Mr. She." The leader of the dog guard stepped forward and clasped his fists at the rattan box.
"Oh? Do you know me?" The Vinebag's voice was a little surprised. "It seems that he has some identity, not an ordinary dog. No wonder Nangong Wuji dared to hand over this task to you. What about Nangong Wuji now? Was he tripped up by something? Otherwise, he would have come in person, right?"
"Mr. Wuji dragged Zhang Yuhong in Hongjing City, otherwise Mr. Zhang would not allow us to interfere in this matter. Mr. Wuji never said it was a gentleman, but he said that someone must be with the Shuipai Envoy, so he asked us to bring Luo Dangjia to the person who was with the Shuipai Envoy. The Shuipai Envoy is here, but there is no trace of others leaving around me. I guess what method should the people who are with him hide here, and I didn't expect it to be Mr. She."
"Ah, are Nangong Wuji and Zhang Yuhong's old enemies finally facing each other? It's hard for Nangong Wuji. Zhang Yuhong naturally cannot allow the Shadow Guard to interfere in the matter of the Earth Spirit Master. The secrets of Longhu Mountain are mastered by the Shadow Guard. How can the Tianshi Sect get some peace from now on? Zhang Daoling's foundation that has been passed down for hundreds of years may end here... Hehehehe... But he may not be Zhang Yuhong's opponent. Zhang Yuhong has been in charge of that small county town for a while to take the name of regaining the snake demon, but has gathered a lot of faith and incense. Even if he can't compare to Jingnan, he can still gain all the advantages of the territory... Let's do this, you four come and take me back together. With my help, at least Nangong Wuji can have the power to protect himself."
"Oh? It would be better to have Mr. She's help." The leader's Doggu showed joy on his face and looked at Luo Yuanyun who was at a loss. "But Lord Wuji asked us to bring Luo San's head of the family... that was to..."
"It's okay, since he has arrived, you don't have to worry about what he wants next..." The vine box floated in the air and slowly floated towards the four dog guards.
Mingyue looked over there but became anxious first: "Oh no. This bad guy is going to run away again, and he is still with these annoying people..."
As he spoke, Mingyue's figure moved and she was about to step forward and take action first. But Shifang next to her grabbed her first, and then Xiaoxia's hand also stopped her in front of her. Both of them looked solemn, and they did not expect that the Snake Taoist was actually in the same group as Nangong Wuji. If these four dog guards and Snake Taoist joined forces, the three of them would be no match for their strength.
But at this moment, the few transparent silk threads supporting the rattan flashed in the air, and the heads of the two closest dog guards flew away like eggs that were hit hard and filled the sky.
The other two dog guards were a little further away, and almost the astonishment on their faces had already subconsciously made dodging before they even appeared. However, the speed of the silk thread was far inferior to their movements, and it was much sharper than ordinary swords. The next dog guard was pulled in half from shoulder to waist, and the flesh, bones and internal organs splattered everywhere, and they died without even having time to scream.
"Mr. She! You..." The only one who did not die was the leader of the dog guard. Although one hand was shattered by the thread, it still flashed through the deadly point. While flying back, he screamed in disbelief.
The only answer that the snake Taoist in the vine box gave him was a small ball wrapped in thick black mist, which flew out along the transparent silk thread and directly penetrated into the body of the dog guard in the air. The movements and expressions of the dog guard leader solidified at the same time, and fell to the ground and rolled twice, as if he was completely stupid and never moved at all.
"I don't feel anything else about the Nangong family, but I admire their dog-raising methods. Not only can they be competent, but also loyal." The vanity box took back the silk thread and fell from the air. The Snake Taoist sighed as if he was tired. "So sometimes it's a bit troublesome to do something private and say something about it."
Shifang, Xiaoxia was stunned, and Mingyue also stared at the vine box with big eyes in confusion. As for Luo Yuanyun, from the beginning, he seemed to plunge into a fantasy world that he could not understand at all, and could only open his mouth and eyes as if he was stunned and watched the incredible scenes in front of him.
"Okay, now the only ones left are A Yue, the thief bald in Shifang, the little Taoist priest named Xia... and... and... and... that fat man, what do they call you? Luo San's head of the family? Are you in a bandit nest in which country? Hehehe... it's really funny... Well, no matter what, the ones who stay here can be said to be a family..."
"Hahahaha... family..." It seemed that even the snake Taoist himself was amused by this word. The night owl-like voice stabbed Luo Yuanyun quickly reached out to cover his ears. "Ahhhh, that's right, from a certain perspective, everyone is really a family, hahaha... If you have time and chance, I really want everyone to sit down and chat together. I have a lot of things to say to you slowly... Especially that fat man, I have a lot of things to say to you, and a lot of things to say to you..."
No one can understand what the Snake Taoist is saying or what he wants to say. Everyone knows that those who practice the ghost curse are all crazy people, and the madman in front of him is even more crazy, and the madman in danger is all focused on it, and they have no intention of paying attention to those crazy words.
Suddenly, a roar rang out from the sky quickly, and with a golden sword light, Zhang Yuhong's figure appeared in the sky. He swept his eyes and saw everything below. His eyes first glanced over Liu Hongde's extremely dry corpse, and then fell on Zhang Hengliang's body. The terrifying light and bloodshots surged in his eyes.
"Senior Brother Liu... Hengliang..." Zhang Yuhong's voice and his body in the air were shaking slightly, but he still stayed in the air with great self-control and did not move around, but asked in a stern voice: "Master Shifang, Master Xia, what's going on? Who did Hengliang and Senior Brother Liu become like that? Where is the Earth Spirit Master?"
Zhang Yuhong appeared in time, and Shifang and Xiaoxia both breathed a sigh of relief. Shifang quickly replied: "We have just arrived not long ago. We did not find any trace of the earth spirit master here. Taoist Liu Hongde seemed to be manipulated by the donor with the ghost heart curse, so that Taoist Zhang Hengliang was led here... Taoist Liu Hongde was drained from the ghost heart curse and died. The murderer was the donor of the snake Taoist hiding in the vine box..."
"Snake Taoist...? Ghost Curse?" Zhang Yuhong's eyes locked the vine box tightly, and his fierce murderous aura almost condensed into substance and stabbed the thing into pieces.
Just as Zhang Yuhong appeared, the transparent silk thread on the vine box quickly rolled in the air, grabbed the half-dead Zhang Hengliang and blocked it in front of the vine box. Then the voice of the Taoist Snake slowly rang out: "So it's Zhenren Zhang. Since you can get here, will you kill your Nangong Ji brother? Or will it make him go crazy and the Creation Power is out of control. Leave him to drink blood and eat meat in Hongjing City?"
"Who are you?" Zhang Yuhong raised his eyebrows, and it seemed as if a pair of swords hit each other and bounced out in the air. The murderous intent in his eyes increased, but his anger calmed down a lot.
"I am also a friend of Nangong Ji. Zhang Zhenren, you don't need to be nervous." The voice of the snake Taoist in the vine box was not nervous at all. He held the half-dead Zhang Hengliang in front of him. He seemed very confident that Zhang Yuhong would not dare to do anything randomly. "Actually, this matter is a misunderstanding. I don't know that the old Taoist is your senior brother, nor do I know that this kid is actually the son of Zhang Tianshi. This made you feel embarrassed. I'm really embarrassed. Why don't we come and talk about a deal? Anyway, I'll leave this kid with a breath. You can barely get the job done when you take it back to Longhu Mountain. Why don't you let me leave too?"
Zhang Yuhong took a deep look at the vine box and said nothing. A purple lightning began to appear around him.
"Zhang Zhenren, you'd better not act rashly. Although this kid looks a bit miserable now, it's not the worst. And I have some ways to make him suffer hundreds of times more miserable than death." A small ball condensed by black mist flew out of the vine box and slid along the transparent silk thread to the top of Zhang Hengliang's head and eyebrows. "I said this was just a misunderstanding, and I didn't have much high requirements, it was just a way to survive..."
The next moment, with a flash of lightning, Zhang Yuhong, who was originally in mid-air, had already appeared beside Zhang Hengliang. He pointed with one hand and cut it on the transparent silk thread that tied Zhang Hengliang's eyes, and with the other hand, he had grabbed the black ball that was almost next to Zhang Hengliang's eyebrows in his hand.
There was a loud bang, as if it was the sound of hundreds of strings being plucked violently at the same time. The transparent thin silk was not cut off by Zhang Yuhong's fingers, but the violent shock was loosened from Zhang Hengliang's body. The black mist ball was destroyed by purple lightning in Zhang Yuhong's palm and disappeared.
The snake Taoist's reaction was also very fast. When Zhang Yuhong's sword finger emitting golden light cut on the silk thread, the vine box where he lived was flying away under the bounce of the other silk threads. I don't know if the silk thread that was cut by Zhang Yuhong was shaken off or he took the initiative to throw it away and fell from the vine box.
"Kunlun's Xuanjing Tiansi?" Zhang Yuhong frowned, and his hand that crushed the black ball caught Zhang Hengliang. The light on the sword's finger was full again. He pointed at the vine box that was flying away, and a golden sword light shot away.
The sword light was casting very fast, and it was shot in front of the vine box in a blink of an eye. The vine box seemed to have too fast to bounce it, and the remaining silk threads didn't have time to re-launch the momentum. The vine box was about to be pierced by the sword light, but a figure on the ground suddenly rushed up and blocked the golden sword light before the vine box. It turned out that the dog guard leader just now had been lying on the ground like a clay sculpture after being entered by the small black ball. Until the vine box flew over him, he was about to be pierced by the golden sword light emitted by Zhang Yuhong, he jumped up and blocked the sword for the snake Taoist in the vine box.
With a sniff, the golden sword light completely penetrated the body of the dog guard leader but did not pass through it. Instead, it steamed black light smoke like a soldering iron piercing into the water. The black light smoke also quickly dissipated after leaving the body. The dog guard leader's body suddenly lost its original shape like burned incense ash, and turned into a ball of mud and fell to the ground with a puff.
No one noticed this strange scene. Just as Zhang Yuhong stabbed the sword casually, Shifang and Xiaoxia changed their faces at the same time, and they shouted at Zhang Yuhong: "Be careful, Zhenren Zhang!"
It is invisible from Zhang Yuhong's own angle. It can only be seen from their sidelines. Just when Zhang Yuhong caught the falling Zhang Hengliang with one hand, Zhang Hengliang suddenly stretched out a hand in his stomach and pointed at Zhang Yuhong with his fingers. A small golden ball on his finger was spinning rapidly, stimulating a huge evil spirit and a faint tiger roar.
