The heavy rain continued. Chen Chao stood in the rain in silence for a moment, then walked over, pulled out the broken knife he had thrown before, and tied it around his waist again. Then he turned his head and glanced at the corpse of Tianyi Zhenren over there, and thought about it.
Do you want to take his head away? But in the end, he shook his head. If the little girl Xie Ying saw this guy's head, she would be scared to cry. Although the little girl was dead, Chen Chao still didn't
I'm willing to let her live in peace underground.
"Come out."
Chen Chao looked in a certain direction and his voice was cold.
As early as when he fought with Master Tianyi, he knew that there were bystanders in their battle, but they were not of high level. He thought he was a monk from Qingshui Mountain who was greedy for life and feared death and did not obey Master Tianyi and went to the mountain road to intercept and kill him.
Sure enough, after Chen Chao finished saying these words, a little Taoist boy ran out from under a big tree in the distance. He came to Chen Chao in a few steps, knelt down with a plop and kowtowed, "Master Immortal, have mercy on me.
I have only been up the mountain not long ago, and I have never done anything harmful to nature."
In the heavy rain, the little Taoist kowtows can be regarded as sincerity, leaving a pool of bright red blood on the ground.
In fact, there was no reason for the little Taoist boy to be dishonest. He had taken a look at Chen Chao from a distance when his senior brothers and uncles were intercepting and killing Chen Chao on the mountain road, and he was shocked. This young warrior of unknown origin killed people without any mercy.
The senior brothers and uncles he had seen in the past were all reduced to pieces on the mountain road.
As for Tianyi Zhenren, whom he regarded as a god, wasn't he lying far away?
Coupled with the shocking Taoist Great Hall, the little Taoist boy had no doubt that the young warrior in front of him would kill him immediately.
Chen Chao glanced at the little Taoist boy and said calmly: "I was on the mountain road before. I heard that there are any so-called medicinal fruits in the mountains behind you. Where are they?"
Just as the little Taoist boy was about to speak, he heard the murderous god in front of him say calmly: "Think about it before you say it. If you tell a lie, you can die now."
The little Taoist boy wanted to get over it by saying that he didn't know about the Hou Yam Fruit not long after he went up the mountain. But when he heard this, he immediately became timid and said: "I heard from the brothers that there is a fairy cave halfway up the Hou Mountain, and there is a mountain master inside.
...I have only heard of this thief’s refined medicinal fruit, but I have never been there.”
Chen Chao couldn't help but said: "Lead the way."
The little Taoist boy looked sad, but he quickly got up and led Chen Chao towards the back mountain.
The two of them walked in tandem. The little Taoist boy walked tremblingly, and Chen Chao behind him walked even more slowly. Although he killed Master Tianyi, his injuries were serious. It was already remarkable that he could walk now.
thing.
Soon the two of them arrived at the hillside of the back mountain, and there was indeed a cave not far away.
Normally there should be a dedicated guard here, but now the Taoist boy is the only one left in Qingshui Mountain, so naturally it cannot be said to be guarded.
The two walked into the cave.
The little Taoist boy stopped moving forward, a little hesitant.
Chen Chao nodded softly.
The little Taoist boy then whispered: "I'm sorry, Immortal Master Qi, I'm afraid there are some mechanisms in this cave. If you move forward haphazardly, I'm afraid..."
Chen Chao had no expression on his face and just uttered one word.
"Walk."
The little Taoist boy did not dare to disobey the order of the God of Death behind him and walked forward. Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way. After a while, some light could be seen inside.
They came to it, where there were large cauldrons on display. Above the cauldrons, there were some elixirs hanging on them, and elixir juice fell into them from time to time.
Chen Chao walked into one of the cauldrons and leaned over to look, only to see a horrifying scene. There were the corpses of several children in the cauldron. They were all white, and even the bones and meridians could be seen. They were soaked in the elixir juice.
He closed his eyes tightly, but he was probably dead for a long time.
Chen Chao remained silent, but his expression was ugly.
The little Taoist boy knelt down again and cried: "Master Immortal, I really just went up the mountain. I have never done any of these unnatural things!"
Chen Chao ignored him and just looked into the distance. There was a small hole there, only one person high.
"What is that place?"
Chen Chao pointed over there and asked.
The little Taoist boy hurriedly replied: "That's where the thief usually practices. There should be some treasures. I'll go get them and give them to the immortal master."
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "Wait for me here."
Then Chen Chao ignored the little Taoist boy and walked straight into the cave.
Seeing Chen Chao's figure disappear before his eyes, Xiao Daotong had a war between heaven and man in his mind, thinking about whether he should run away, but after thinking about it carefully, he could only stand there with a sad face, motionless.
Chen Chao walked into the cave. The furnishings inside were simple. There was only a futon and a bookshelf. There were some Taoist teachings on the bookshelf, which I think Master Tianyi studied on a regular basis.
Chen Chao looked around for a few times, then opened the futon, and sure enough there was a notebook underneath.
This is the so-called new path idea developed by Tianyi Zhenren in recent years.
Chen Chao flipped through a few pages and frowned. In fact, Tianyi Zhenren was also a hero of the previous generation. This man was born as a martial artist, but he wanted to find a way to practice Taoism. Although he took a wrong approach, he got it wrong.
These are harmful things, but judging from the thoughts of Master Tianyi, he is not an ordinary person.
After Chen Chao looked at it for a few times, he turned around and walked out of the cave.
The little Taoist boy stood there, eagerly waiting for Chen Chao.
Chen Chao glanced at him and ordered: "Go dig some holes."
The little Taoist boy understood what Chen Chao wanted to do, and reminded him with some trepidation: "Master Immortal, once these medicinal fruits leave the medicinal cauldron, they will have no effect at all within half a day..."
Chen Chao didn't wait for him to finish speaking and just gave him a cold look.
The little Taoist boy immediately changed his words and said, "Just follow the instructions of the Immortal Master."
Chen Chao remained silent, just standing there and watching the little Taoist boy finish digging the hole, and then helped bury all the dead children.
After doing all this, Chen Chao came to the entrance of the cave and looked into the distance.
There used to be a Taozu hall on the mountain peak over there, but now it's just a ruin.
The little Taoist boy stood beside Chen Chao, not daring to raise his head.
Chen Chao suddenly said expressionlessly: "To practice your method, you must eat a medicinal fruit on the first day, and then you must eat one every month. How long have you been on the mountain?"
Hearing this, the little Taoist boy didn't know what Chen Chao meant. He knelt down again and begged for mercy: "Master Immortal, please have mercy on me. It's only been less than a month since I went up the mountain. I had no choice but to be forced by them in the beginning..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Chao had already pinched the little Taoist boy's neck. Looking at the little guy whose face was gradually turning red, he said calmly: "Do you think I can't see the greed in your eyes? If I let you go, maybe the flowers will bloom."
In less than half a day, you will have to dig out all the so-called medicinal fruits and eat them all."
The little Taoist boy's eyes were full of fear and he wanted to beg for mercy, but now he couldn't say a word.
Chen Chao didn't bother to say anything more, so he just used a little force to break his neck, and then threw his body down the mountain.
After doing this, Chen Chao looked back and saw that a pure martial artist couldn't tell anything about that cave. If a Buddhist monk came here at this moment, he would probably sigh and then sit down to save the souls of the dead.
This so-called fairy cave is destined to be full of resentful spirits.
At this moment, Chen Chao didn't know whether he was glad that he couldn't see this scene or whether he should be sad that he couldn't save these children who were already dead but whose resentment lingered.
Chen Chao, with complicated thoughts, went down the mountain alone.
…
…
The heavy rain gradually stopped and the sky became brighter.
In the county town of Qingshui County, many monks and people belatedly realized that the Qingshui Pavilion in the city had now been reduced to ruins. While they were horrified, many people were still in the dark and did not know what happened last night.
What, as for the Sheriff's Mansion, they actually got the news early in the morning. In the early morning, they actually sent people to quietly inquire about the news. Later, after seeing the corpses of many Qingshui Mountain monks in the ruins of Qingshui Pavilion, they went to report back.
The county guard who usually didn't dare to say anything when being bullied was actually a little excited for a moment, and he didn't even laugh on the spot.
But after calming down, he just ordered his subordinates to pretend that they didn't know anything about it. He didn't want to care whether Qingshui Mountain had provoked a dragon crossing the river. How Qingshui Mountain would retaliate in the future, and whether it could succeed, he
He didn't want to think about it. In short, whether Qingshui County changed hands in the future, he, an ordinary county governor, would not be able to interfere with it.
Anyway, it's a fight between gods, and all they have to do is hide as far away as possible.
As for the guardian envoy, when he sent someone to inquire before, he actually heard that the warrior had gone out to a certain county in Qingshui County to slay demons as early as late at night.
This made the county guard very emotional. Who said that a martial artist is just a big guy? Our guard is very thoughtful.
In the study over there, the shop owner had a sleepless night. Looking at the little girl's body lying in his study, the scholar couldn't help but sigh. He hates evil as much as he hates it and eliminates harm for the people. This is a truth said in the books of sages, but the sages just chose to do it.
He also said that if you are poor, you can only benefit yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world.
At this moment, he really didn't know which sage to listen to.
However, as the rain stopped and the sky gradually became clearer, before the young warrior returned, the shop owner sighed and was already preparing to take his collection of books and the little girl's body out of the city.
But when he opened the door of the shop, he happened to see the young man in black shirt returning to the study.
After not seeing each other all night, the young man in front of me looked very pale.
But since he was able to leave the city and come back, it seems to mean something.
The shop owner was really frightened now.
That Qingshui Mountain is no less than a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Isn't it easy for the young man in front of me to come back safe and sound?
Or is it that the young warrior in front of me finally made peace with Qingshui Mountain?
Before he could speak, Chen Chao walked into the study and placed the things in his hands next to the little girl's body.
