Chapter 180 Mushrooms?
Chapter 180 Mushrooms?
"Miss Tie has heard of me?"
Chu Qing hid himself behind the mask, and his voice sounded particularly cold and solemn.
Tie Chuqing's face turned a little pale:
"You...are you here to kill me?"
The name of Ye Di rose in Tianwu City, but the killing of Jiang Shendao in Shendao City made his name spread throughout the world overnight.
As the eldest daughter of Tiexuetang, Tie Chuqing had naturally heard of it, and was very clear... that this man was a killer.
A killer came to her door for no reason, and she couldn't think of any other possibility except that he wanted to kill her.
She subconsciously took two steps back:
“I advise you not to act recklessly, but you know that the Third Master of Crazy Blade is traveling with me now.
"He has unparalleled martial arts skills. As long as I shout, he will appear immediately... No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are no match for him."
"..."
Chu Qing was speechless. What do you mean if you shout, I will show up?
Why does that sound so rude?
Just by looking up, the murderous intent was stronger:
"But I don't know, is it you who shouted faster, or my sword that is faster?"
Tie Chuqing's face turned even paler.
Ye Di's swift sword and flying knife were both stunning in an instant.
Even if the 'Third Young Master' came faster, he would only be able to collect his own body.
"what on earth do you want?"
Tie Chuqing looked at the person in front of him and really felt like a thorn in his back.
The huge invisible pressure made her breathing difficult.
It seemed that no matter how hard the other party tried, I would suffocate to death without even having to make a move.
But just as the pressure gradually climbed to its peak, all the feelings suddenly disappeared.
Tie Chuqing suddenly fell to the ground, with beads of cold sweat on his forehead.
Then Chu Qing spoke calmly:
"Miss Tie, there's no need to panic. If I wanted to kill you... you would have been dead long ago."
"…Then what do you want me to do?"
Tie Chuqing was not relieved by these words. Instead, she felt that it must be no good thing for this plague god to come to her.
"I am here to discuss a business deal with Miss Tie."
"Buy or sell?"
Tie Chuqing was stunned: "What business?"
Chu Qing felt a little powerless. It was easy to talk to smart people, but it was a bit difficult to talk to stupid people.
I should have looked for Cheng Tieshan instead of Tie Chuqing.
However... someone like Cheng Tieshan, who has a brain full of muscles, may not be that smart.
I had no choice but to say:
"I...only deal in killing people."
Tie Chuqing's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"You want to help me kill someone!? Who?"
"you ask me?"
Chu Qing really wanted to leave now, as he could no longer chat.
But Guishen Gorge is right in front of him, and if he rides at full speed, he can arrive there in another day. Before that, he needs to finalize this commission with Tie Chuqing in the identity of Night Emperor.
Tie Chuqing suddenly woke up as if from a dream, and nodded repeatedly:
"Then you...then can you help me kill the people from the Evil Mirror Platform?"
Chu Qing raised his eyebrows. How could it be the Evil Mirror Table?
Shouldn't they think of asking me to help kill the leader of the Liehuo Hall, Beitang Lie?
Immediately frowned:
"The Evil Mirror Platform will also appear in Ghost God Gorge?"
"meeting!"
Tie Chuqing said:
“The Third Young Master said that the people from the Niejingtai would assassinate my father.
"If you were here, my father would be able to sleep peacefully.
"How about you help me kill all those who came to assassinate my father with the evil mirror?"
[Triggering Commission: No one on the list (Kill all the visitors on the evil list!)]
【Do you want to receive it? 】
This... this was unexpected.
The corner of Chu Qing's mouth twitched under the mask. He came here for Beitang Lie and Liehuotang.
Who would have thought that the second wave, which was not on the list, was actually triggered by Tie Chuqing.
I thought that only after I got Guishen Gorge would I have the chance to trigger this commission.
After a moment of hesitation, Chu Qing stretched out a finger:
"One life, one thousand taels."
"it is good!"
Tie Chuqing agreed immediately:
“It’s quite cheap…”
"..."
You are rich, right?
"Besides the Mirror of Evil, is there anyone else you want to kill?"
Chu Qing wants to maximize his benefits.
"No more."
Tie Chuqing shook his head:
"As for the others, there is also the Third Young Master."
"?"
Chu Qing blinked:
"What do you mean?"
"That is to say, aren't the Third Young Master and his gang also going to Ghost God Gorge?
“Whether they come here to have fun or plan to take the route north, they will eventually run into the Fiery Hall.
“Beitang Zundu has been captured by the Third Young Master, and he also suspects that Liehuotang and Tianxie Cult are in collusion.
“In this case, he will definitely not let Beitang Lie go and will investigate this matter thoroughly.
"If he's here, Beitang Lie won't be a problem either, so why should I waste money on you?"
Okay, okay, the abacus beads are falling on my face!
Chu Qing found that he actually underestimated her.
But what she said was not wrong...but it was impossible to trick herself into thinking she was working for nothing.
After squinting his eyes and staring at Tie Chuqing for a few seconds, Chu Qing said softly:
"Okay, after I'm done, I'll come to you for my reward.
"If there is one or two taels of silver missing... you can decide for yourself!"
I wanted to say, if you're short of an ounce of silver, I'll sell you to pay off my debt... But if I did that, it would sound a bit like the Third Young Master's tone.
Although Miss Tie might not be able to see it, but with the lesson of Xia Wanshuang, Chu Qing did not want to reveal such a flaw in front of these women.
So he just uttered a few harsh words and disappeared out the window in a flash.
It was not until Chu Qing disappeared that Tie Chuqing plucked up the courage to go to the window to check, but he looked around but could not find any trace of Chu Qing.
Then he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
It feels like communicating with the 'Night Emperor' is like facing the King of Hell.
It's really dangerous. I always feel like this person will take my life if they disagree with me.
In comparison, although the Third Young Master always wanted to sell himself, he was not as cold-blooded as this.
"What's so great about that? Isn't it just because of your martial arts skills?"
Tie Chuqing bit her lip:
"One day, I will master my martial arts and beat you to the ground, making you all bow down to me!"
After saying this, he slapped the window with great force to strengthen his authority.
……
……
The next morning, everyone gathered in the lobby of the inn.
I noticed that Tie Chuqing's mood seemed to be particularly bright, and when I asked her what happened, she remained mysterious and didn't say anything.
Chu Qing was a little speechless when he saw her like this. If someone didn't know, they would think she was hiding some huge secret.
"This place is not far from Guishen Gorge. Beitang Zun, I advise you to speak out what you want to say now. If it falls into the hands of the hall master, you will not benefit from it."
Cheng Tieshan asks this question every day.
Along the way, he was trying to learn something from Beitang Zun. After all, this man was able to bypass the Tiexuetang camp and quietly set up an ambush wherever he went.
It would be strange if there wasn't someone in the Tiexue Hall colluding with him.
But Beitang Zun kept his mouth shut and said nothing.
He wanted to torture him severely, but was stopped by Chu Qing.
He simply asked the question every day, thinking that one day Beitang Zun would get tired of his questions and maybe tell him the answer.
But it was a pity that they were about to reach Guishen Gorge. Beitang Zun was not annoyed and did not express anything. He just ate by himself.
Cheng Tieshan had a bad temper to begin with, and seeing this he could hardly suppress his anger.
He wanted to stand up and make trouble, but he glanced at Chu Qing who was sitting there and suppressed his anger:
"I say... you've already arrested this old guy, why don't you torture him to extract a confession?
"He lets me hang around in front of him every day, and he won't let me hit him."
"What problem can you solve by punching him?"
"It won't solve the problem if it's just left here to irritate you."
Cheng Tieshan spread his hands, his face full of incomprehension.
Chu Qing smiled:
"You'll know then."
Beitang Zun suddenly looked up at Chu Qing after hearing this:
"What do you want to do?"
Beitang Zun doesn't take Cheng Tieshan, a straightforward man, seriously at all.
But Chu Qing's silence obviously showed that he had other intentions, but no one knew what he wanted to do, which really made people wary.
Chu Qing laughed again, but his answer to Beitang Zun was exactly the same as his answer to Cheng Tieshan:
"You'll know then."
"..."
This time, Beitang Zun and Cheng Tieshan suffered the same setback.
Beitang Zun was a little bit uncalm, but Cheng Tieshan was happy.
Cao Qiupu and Miss Lingfei looked at each other and felt that this scene was quite interesting.
Since traveling with Chu Qing, the pursuit by the Evil Mirror Platform seems to have stopped...
I haven't encountered it once in this period of time.
This also made Cao Qiupu somewhat worried:
"Third brother, how about we split up?"
This is not the first time I have said this.
He really didn't want to implicate others because of his own affairs.
Last time, Chen Zhengnan had to use up an acupuncture bronze man, and Chu Qing was exhausted from carrying him for more than a hundred miles to seek help from the Yin-Yang master, which already made him feel uneasy.
Therefore, even though he knew that Chu Qing was a martial arts expert, he was still worried that he would be implicated because of the incident at the Evil Mirror Stage.
Then he really can't be redeemed a hundred times.
Chu Qing didn't care at all:
"We are acquainted, how can I stand by and watch you in trouble?
“Although I can’t protect you forever, I can always walk with you on this journey.
"And now that we've come this far, it would be too nagging to say this again."
Ever since his last exchange with Miss Lingfei in Yin Yang Pavilion, Chu Qing suddenly had different ideas about these two people.
Nie Jingtai is ruthless and has enormous power.
Although I am not afraid, I am inevitably alone and weak.
If Cao Qiupu and Miss Lingfei could be made into an obvious target, they could guide the sight of the Evil Mirror Stage.
Wouldn't it be more successful if I acted secretly?
And if this matter is well organized, the benefits will be far more than this.
Therefore, at this juncture, no matter what, nothing must happen to these two people, and they must be delivered to Tie Lingyun safely.
Cao Qiupu had no idea what Chu Qing was thinking, and his heart was filled with gratitude.
After breakfast, everyone continued on their journey.
Thanks to the boy's medicine, Cheng Tieshan's injuries have stabilized a long time ago. Although he has not recovered completely, he can move around without any worries.
The closer he got to Guishen Gorge, the more familiar Cheng Tieshan became with the path.
Suddenly, Cheng Tieshan pointed to a forest ahead and said:
"Once we pass through this dense forest, we will be able to view the Ghost Gorge from a high place."
Chu Qing was about to nod, but Wenrou suddenly grabbed Chu Qing's wrist:
"It smells a bit familiar..."
"Do you remember whose it is?"
"The man in black."
Gentle and soft voice:
"The one I saw at Qimei Villa, his scent was bitter like medicine."
Chu Qing nodded slightly and looked at everyone present:
"Everyone, be careful. There may be something strange in this forest."
At that time, Nie Jingtai pretended to be a member of Jingou Xu's family and assassinated Cao Qiupu and Miss Lingfei.
The news came so quickly that people couldn't help but doubt the identity of the man in black.
If this person is really cunning and vicious... then I'm afraid he must have used some tricks in this forest!
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Although they didn't know how Chu Qing judged that there was something wrong with the forest, they also knew that he would not make a fuss.
However, Miss Lingfei looked at Wenrou thoughtfully.
I am a little concerned about this little girl who has been following Chu Qing without saying a word.
Although Wenrou was dressed in men's clothes, Lingfei couldn't hide it.
She had been secretly guessing her identity all along, but now Chu Qing's inexplicable warning had given her some clues.
As for a rough man like Cheng Tieshan, he doesn't have such meticulous thoughts.
He scratched his head and said:
"Is there something strange? Why can't I see it?"
Chu Qing asked:
"Is this forest the only way? Are there other paths?"
Since you know something is wrong, just don't leave.
The best strategy is to avoid it.
Cheng Tieshan shook his head:
"The terrain here is complicated, and there are cliffs all around. If you want to go around from both sides, you will have to walk for several more days."
The current situation in Guishen Gorge is still unknown. Chu Qing accepted Tie Chuqing's commission of "No One on the List", so who knows when the Evil Mirror Platform will take action.
Under this circumstance, it is better to go there as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he took out a small bottle from his arms.
This was taken from the Yin-Yang hermit before leaving the Yin-Yang Forest.
It was a detoxification pill he prepared himself.
Although I can't say that it can cure all poisons, it can cure common poisons.
Divide the pill among everyone, one pill per person:
"Put it under your tongue. If you feel something is wrong, swallow it immediately."
"it is good."
Everyone nodded.
After everything was ready, Chu Qing stepped into the forest first.
Inside and outside the forest seem like two different worlds.
There was wind and snow outside the forest, and there were traces of living things on the ground.
However, the forest seemed to be a world of silence.
The wind stopped, and all signs of animals disappeared. Apart from the strange, rugged trees that had lost all their leaves, there was nothing but white snow.
There was even a strange smell brewing in the air... Chu Qing made a prompt decision and asked everyone to swallow the pills.
At this moment, Chu Qing suddenly felt a burning gaze falling on him.
Looking along...
The next moment, Chu Qing could hardly believe his eyes.
Even though I have been traveling around the world and have seen many strange things...
But he never dreamed that one day, he would actually see a colorful big mushroom hiding behind a tree in the snowy forest, peeking at him! ?
