Chapter 209 Ghost Lantern Enlightenment Cicada?
Chapter 209 Ghost Lantern Enlightenment Cicada?
Everyone present looked at each other.
The first thing that came to my mind was the Ghost Emperor Modo!
But the next moment, the missing Shang Qiuyu also came to mind.
The Mysterious Emperor Shang Qiuyu, the Ghost Emperor Modo...
These two are the only Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors who have made any unusual moves in the world.
Not only that, Chu Qing had heard the news that the Ghost Emperor was going to die from the mouths of Lord Yu Mu and Beitang Zun.
If this drop of poison is used to deal with the Ghost Emperor Modo, it does make sense.
"Who is the person who took the poisonous drop of water? Where is he going with it?"
Chu Qing asked.
But Tie Xiaoyang shook his head:
“I don’t know about these things.”
That’s right, he is just a chess piece, and there are limits to what he can know.
Chu Qing glanced at Wenrou, and Wenrou understood what he meant.
Press one nostril and blow it to take out the contents inside. Repeat the same process to take out the contents from the other nostril.
I got closer and sniffed it.
The next moment, she frowned slightly and shook her head at Chu Qing.
He threw away what he was holding and replaced it with two more.
Chu Qing suddenly realized that the smells here were too mixed.
Wenrou could not distinguish the scent of the person who took away the poison drop... Moreover, even if the smell here was clean and pure, the swamp outside and the stench everywhere would change the smell.
This makes it difficult to lock onto the target.
This time, the gentle enemy-hunting assistant seems to have failed.
Thinking of this, he let out a light breath and came to the stone platform at the bottom of the building.
There is a pipe hanging down here, and the prepared dripping poison should be drawn from this pipe.
This tube is even made of black jade ice crystals, and you can feel a chill when you get close to it.
On the other side, Tie Xiaoyang was kowtowing to Tie Lingyun and begging for mercy.
Tie Xiaofeng couldn't help but plead for his second brother.
Beitang Zun and the others stood aside and did not express any opinions... Wenrou did not pay any attention to these things at all, but just looked at the surrounding environment curiously.
Sometimes look here, sometimes look there.
There was no danger around here, so Chu Qing ignored her and just told her not to touch things that looked like the wrong color, so as to avoid being poisoned for no reason. Then he let Wenrou have fun.
Nian Xin and Nian An were only concerned about what to eat after they left here.
I felt sorry for the miserable look of the goose that Cao Qiupu had thrown out to detect poison...
I was thinking, whether to stew it in an iron pot, or cook it over the fire, or even stew it with some sauerkraut?
I expect the taste to be the best.
The meat of the goose is firm and chewy.
Now they are in such a pitiful state, with no trace left of their bodies. The people who raised them must be very sad.
Thinking of the sad things, the two sisters almost drooled...
Beitang Zun stood with his hands behind his back. According to his position, he should persuade Tie Lingyun to kill Tie Xiaoyang.
But precisely because of his position, he couldn't say that.
In this battle between the Fiery Hall and the Iron Blood Hall, the Fiery Hall was in the wrong.
Now that the war has ended, Tie Lingyun has reached an offensive and defensive alliance with Liehuotang for Chu Qing's sake.
If the two families become alienated because of Tie Xiaoyang, it would really not be worth it.
As for Cao Qiupu and Miss Lingfei, they had just joined the Tiexuetang, and they did not have much say in dealing with the second young master's affairs.
Finally, Tie Lingyun took a deep breath and stood up.
After all, he had profound internal strength, and most of the poison in his body had been forced out by Cao Qiupu, and the remaining poison could no longer have any effect on him.
He looked at Tie Xiaoyang and said softly:
"Yang'er, your father is indeed partial to your sister.
“After all, I have four children and she is the only daughter.
"She is a girl, and she will get married and raise children in the future.
"As a father, I always think that I should be nicer to her, and even nicer, so that she won't be deceived by some inexplicable bastard who comes from nowhere in the future.
"I am more worried that she will be treated harshly by her in-laws in the future.
"She has the confidence to be a father. If she is bullied, at least someone can stand up for her."
"father……"
Tie Xiaoyang looked up at Tie Lingyun.
Tie Lingyun's voice was not heavy, it could even be said to be a soft whisper.
But the more this happened, the more afraid Tie Xiaoyang became.
Tie Lingyun patted his shoulder gently:
“But as a father, I don’t think I favor any of you three brothers over any of you.
“You practice the same martial arts and learn the same classics.
"Your eldest brother has the best talent, the best shrewdness, and a clear mind. He has his own style at a young age.
"Therefore, it shouldn't be a big mistake for your father to hope that your eldest brother can inherit the Iron Blood Hall..."
"Dad, please stop talking. It's my fault for being so foolish...
Tie Xiaoyang started to kowtow again.
Tie Lingyun did not look at him, but said:
“Parents who love their children plan for the long term.
"Your eldest brother will be in charge of the Iron Blood Hall in the future, and I will also make every effort to plan for you.
"We have also set rules for your development in the hall. When the three of you brothers join forces in the future, I won't be too worried even if your father is gone for a hundred years."
When he said this, his eyes were full of vicissitudes.
I couldn't help but sigh:
"Son, if today's matter only involved the people of my Tie family and was my family affair, I could still raise it high and put it down lightly.
"Even if I destroy your martial arts skills... I can still let you be a rich man for the rest of your life.
"Live your life peacefully.
"Unfortunately, this is not our family affair...
“The training method of the Blood Transformation Palm is harsh and cruel. You are using the identity of the Second Young Master of the Iron Blood Hall to practice this magic skill. How many lives have you ruined within the Iron Blood Hall?
“What’s more, there is also a Blood Demon Scripture!
“I can forgive you because I am your father.
"But... those ordinary people, fellow martial artists, parents and brothers who died at your hands and were used by you to practice martial arts, could they forgive you?
"Or, what qualifications do I have as a father to forgive you on their behalf!
"You grew up in the Iron Blood Hall. You benefited from your status, but instead of thinking about how to repay it, you took advantage of it to do evil things!
“If this matter gets out, and if your father protects you out of personal favoritism, how will our Iron Blood Hall survive in the martial arts world?
"Son, tell me, how can I protect you?"
Tie Xiaoyang's eyes were red and tears could not stop flowing:
"Dad, I really know I was wrong. Please, please forgive me this time!"
He hugged Tie Lingyun's legs and cried inconsolably.
Tie Lingyun raised his head, his tiger eyes also turned red.
But she couldn't help crying. She just held Tie Xiaoyang's shoulder and said softly:
"Now that the past is over, I hope that in your next life... you will not make any more mistakes, and be a good man who stands tall and proud and has no shame!"
He reached out and touched Tie Xiaoyang's head, and the power of his palm suddenly surged and spewed out.
Tie Xiaoyang's voice suddenly stopped and his expression became dull.
Finally, amid the exclamations of Tie Xiaofeng's "Second Brother", he slowly fell to the ground.
Tie Lingyun seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and his face was filled with sadness. Chu Qing's voice came at this time:
"It's hard for Master Tie."
Tie Lingyun forced the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to smile, but this smile was too difficult.
He sighed:
"You made the Third Young Master laugh."
“Although to me, this person really deserves to die.
"But if I were in your shoes, I might not be as decisive as the hall master...
"admire."
Chu Qing clasped his fists.
He knew that this was a very difficult matter for Tie Lingyun.
To be fair, Tie Lingyun's favorite is naturally his youngest daughter Tie Chuqing, but he is by no means cruel to his son.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have become so impatient because of Tie Xiaoyang, and wouldn't have risked her life alone to save her son's life.
Now that he had killed Tie Xiaoyang with his own hands, although he tried his best to hide the pain in his heart, everyone could feel it.
Beitang Zun gently patted Tie Lingyun on the shoulder:
"As a man, it is inevitable that his wife is not virtuous and his children are not filial. Think positively."
Tie Lingyun was furious when he heard this:
"Your wife is not virtuous and your son is unfilial... I have three sons and one daughter, so what's so strange about having a rebellious son?
"Does it mean that I have to be like you, never getting married in this life, and not even having the right to raise a rebellious son?"
Beitang Zun was so angry that his face turned black. I was trying to comfort him with good intentions, so why was he hurting him?
But he was not convinced:
“Although I have never been married, I may have a rebellious son… No, I am making you angry and confused. I meant I may have a son.
"To be honest, I also had a few female confidantes in my early years."
Everyone believed this...
After all, this handsome old man is still a good-looking man considering his age.
If there wasn't any gossip when he was young, it would be a waste of his face.
Chu Qing felt that the topic seemed to be going in a wrong direction.
He frowned and said:
"Do you have any bottles to hold things? It would be best... it would be best if it were a Mysterious Jade Ice Crystal Bottle."
Everyone was stunned and looked up at Chu Qing.
Chu Qing pointed at the stone platform:
"It seems that there may be another drop of this poison in there. I would like to take it and ask an expert to see if he can prepare an antidote."
Only then did everyone know what Chu Qing had just done.
He immediately placed Tie Xiaoyang's body and hurried over to check.
Sure enough, I saw half a drop of medicine hanging on the tube, like water, but without enough force to fall.
But where can I find the Xuanyu Ice Crystal Bottle?
As everyone looked at each other, they heard Wenrou walking over.
He was holding something in his hand, playing with it.
As soon as they got close, everyone felt the chill of the thing in her hand.
It was a bottle like white jade, not big but very exquisite.
Chu Qing murmured:
"Where did it come from?"
Wenrou blinked, wondering why Chu Qing's question was so strange?
My own things...of course I picked them up, right?
He immediately pointed his finger, indicating that he had picked it up from above...
Chu Qing was speechless, then took the bottle:
"Lend it to me."
As he spoke, he aimed it at the half drop of potion and touched it lightly. The transparent liquid immediately rolled into the mouth of the bottle.
"It is indeed the Mysterious Jade Ice Crystal Bottle. I didn't expect they had another one ready."
Chu Qing raised his head and said:
“We can’t keep this place, we still have to find a way to destroy it.
“For this half drop of venom, I plan to find an expert and ask him to prepare an antidote.
"This matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, so I plan to leave immediately..."
He said this and looked at Wenrou:
"You stay here for now. I will do my best. Maybe we can go back and forth in a day or two."
Wenrou nodded, knowing that this matter was important and could not be delayed.
Tie Lingyun said:
“It just so happens that I have prepared a batch of gunpowder and entrusted it to the Weiyuan Escort Agency, asking the Nanling Iron Sword hero Chen Zhengnan to deliver it to Guishen Gorge.
“According to the time, it might be here in a few days.
"I will let Cheng Tieshan handle this matter...Wen, this little brother can wait in my Tiexuetang stronghold for the time being."
"Why bother Master Tie? Just wait in my Liehuo Hall."
Beitang Zun waved his hand.
Chu Qing was stunned when he heard Tie Lingyun's words. Only then did he realize that the escort item that Chen Zhengnan from Weiyuan Escort Agency had told him about was actually a cart of gunpowder.
He nodded immediately:
"Okay, if that's the case, I'll go first!"
His original plan was to cross Guishen Gorge and head to Taiheng Gate.
Now that we need to go back, the sooner the better...
So after he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out at lightning speed, disappearing from everyone's sight.
The rest of the people searched the place.
The result was nothing worth mentioning.
Finally, he brought Tie Xiaoyang's body back to Hengzhai.
If there are words, it will be long; if there are no words, it will be short.
Chu Qing ran wildly all the way. He had endless internal energy and kept using the Feixu Qingyan Gong and Chasing Stars and Chasing the Moon Steps.
Wherever it passed, it was like a green shadow.
By the time passers-by noticed and looked back, he was gone.
This continued until the second half of the night. After ten days of walking day and night, the group finally disappeared under his feet.
After knocking on the door of the Yin-Yang Forest Formation for a while, the person who came out was the disciple of Yin-Yang Monk.
The little boy was very surprised to see Chu Qing. He yawned and asked him why he came here so late at night?
Chu Qing waited until he pulled the Yin-Yang Monk up from the bed before he explained the whole story.
Yin Yang Layman was somewhat surprised:
"Poison in a drop of water? This poison is only recorded in the [Heavenly Pharmacopoeia]. How could someone dare to defy the will of the world and forcibly produce such a deadly poison?
"Quick, bring it to me and show it to me."
Chu Qing took the black jade ice crystal bottle and handed it to the Yin Yang Monk.
After opening it, Yin Yang Monk carefully examined it, then took out a silver needle to test it. After a moment, he nodded slowly:
“It is indeed a drop of poison!
"It is said that this poison has no antidote... However, this is only true for others. For me, it may not be a hopeless situation."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qing immediately took out the bronze acupuncture man from his body.
The Yin-Yang hermit glanced at him:
"Take it back. This kind of interesting thing is something I would love to have. It cannot be considered as your request."
Chu Qing was stunned, and rolled his eyes:
"Then I came all the way here to bring this to you. Do you think you owe me a favor?"
The Yin-Yang hermits, one on the left and one on the right, one old and one young, rolled their eyes at the same time:
"Okay, but if you want me to pay it back, do you want the antidote back?"
You can't treat people like fools...
Chu Qing smiled silently, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice from afar:
"Ghost Lantern Wuchan, I have come to visit the Yin Yang Monk, and I would like to ask the old friend to show himself to see me!"
