C242 Confusion of clues

"Are you sure you want to open the door now?" The Little Holy Maiden placed her hand on the door lock, Zheng Wuxie suddenly asked her.

The little Holy Maiden wrinkled her brow, then turned around to look at us. "What? Is there a problem?"

"No problem, are you sure you want to open the door yourself?" Zheng Wuxie looked at the little Holy Maiden playfully. He did not know when, but a dagger had appeared in his hand and he was playing with it. Fan Hu's Pu Dao had also been removed from his back.

"They're Sir's men outside. They'll be fine." The little Holy Maiden gnashed her teeth, but she still chose to open the door.

Swoosh! As soon as the door opened, a small arrow flew through the crack in the door. Before she could react, Fan Cunhu had already placed the blade against her face.

Clang! The steel head arrow hit the back of the blade and bounced off, Fan Cunhu immediately followed up with a kick to the door, and the rain like sound of rain clanging against the door, in that short moment, it was unknown how many arrows pierced into the door.

Three of the arrows pierced the weak spot of the bamboo door, and some of the black iron arrowheads that had been smeared with poison penetrated through.

The little Holy Maiden stood behind the door as cold sweat dripped from her forehead and fell to the ground from her chin.

Silence! Extreme silence! At this moment, all of us instinctively held our breaths. The little Holy Maiden staggered two steps back. She stared at the bamboo door, her eyes flashing with sorrow.

"They are Sir's men. Why? They must be Mister's people … " The little Holy Maiden found the situation somewhat unacceptable and muttered to herself.

"It wasn't the men at the door who shot the arrows." Zheng Wuxie put on a glove on his other hand, and lightly stroked the black arrow as he placed it on the tip of his nose to smell it.

"It wasn't them? "What do you mean?" Betrayal was always the cruelest thing to do, the Little Holy Maiden seemed to have grasped onto a lifesaver, she looked at Zheng Wuxie, her eyes filled with hope.

Zheng Wuxie took off his gloves and casually threw it on the ground, "The people standing by the door are already dead."

"Nonsense!" "They're clearly still standing outside."

"But the body was manipulated." Zheng Wuxie curled his lips, "Luckily I have a good habit of casually attaching symbols to the gap of the door, otherwise they would have already openly pushed the door open and entered."

"This method of controlling corpses is very unusual, it's different from the Deadqi that I know of, it's similar to the Yin Yang Faction. It requires a type of guidance, and the corpse will maintain its lowest level of intelligence. According to the guidance of something, it will search for something …"

Zheng Wuxie spoke frankly as he slowly walked to the deer's side. He grabbed's wrist and pointed at the colourful beast bone bracelet on his wrist.

"Big Brother Deer, can you tell me what this is?"

Deer frowned, as though he hated being so close to others, and flung Zheng Wuxie's hand away.

"What do you mean? Do I need to tell you the origin of the things I'm wearing?" "Don't think that grand sacrifice values you so much that you can be so impudent."

"What is it? Are you angry from embarrassment? " "Hehe, hehehehehe …" Zheng Wuxie did not care, and laughed, "The accessories on your hands are indeed not necessary to explain their origins to me, I do not need to know either. I just want to know, since when did start using beast bones to make accessories?"

"What corpse lashing? I'd advise you not to speak such nonsense. Right now, the most important thing is to figure out what is happening right in front of your eyes!"

Zheng Wuxie shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "I really don't know what to say to all of you. "Fine, since you have a tough mouth, why don't you take off the bracelet. We'll burn the rope that is attached to the bracelet and see what happens to those guys outside, is that alright?"

The Little Saintess had wanted to speak several times but was stopped by Pa Shi who stood beside her. Pa Shi looked at the scene in front of her with a cold gaze and a stick in his hand.

"You've gone too far!" "Holy Maiden, say something!"

"Hey kid, don't make things difficult for the Holy Maiden. "Why don't you listen to these two kids' suggestions and burn that rope? It's not a big deal." Pa Shi said unhurriedly, and the look in his eyes at the deer had also become somewhat flickering.

The deer let out a sorrowful sigh, "As calamity gradually descended upon my seedling border, my grand sacrifice was kind enough to let me help you escape, but I never thought that what awaited me was actually your suspicion. It was all because of the words of an outsider, that you guys actually started to distrust each other … Heh, since I am here as an eyesore, I might as well disappear from your sight as early as possible. Alright, I'll go! You guys can do it yourselves. "

As the deer spoke, it grabbed a broken ceramic bowl beside it and threw it on the ground. Then, it walked outside without saying a word.

"What is the meaning of this!" "Fan Cunhu's blade was placed horizontally in front of the deer. The deer also held the dagger in its hand as it turned around and glared at us." Holy Maiden, even if you are a Holy Maiden, you do not have the authority to harm your clansmen! "Otherwise, how could you become an upright saint with the grievances of a clan member? Even the Mountain God wouldn't approve of you."

"It has nothing to do with your Holy Maiden, she didn't do anything." Zheng Wuxie's tone became even more casual. Don't curse us, and we won't do anything to you that would hurt the heavens and anger the people. "

"Fall down!" In front of our astonished eyes, as Zheng Wuxie's words came out, the deer immediately collapsed weakly onto the ground. He wanted to move, but his four limbs couldn't muster up any strength.

"What did you do to me!" Deer glared at Zheng Wuxie.

Zheng Wuxie laughed and said: "It's nothing, I just gave you a smell of the soft tendons scattered. I'm really too curious about the rope in your hand."

"You better give me a reason!" The little saint finally couldn't hold it in any longer. She looked at us, her voice very gloomy.

"Child, don't be too anxious. Being anxious won't solve this problem." "You should learn from us and not change your attitude towards landslides is the style that a big shot should have." Zheng Wuxie replied as he carefully removed the bracelet on the deer's wrist. After untying the knots, he saw a string of beast bones jingling on the ground. A green string dangled from his hand, which he held as he swayed it.

The rope was obviously a new piece of rope. It did not look old at all. The deer looked at the swaying rope, the anger in its eyes even more intense.

"The bracelet is something that grand sacrifice left for me! Holy Maiden, you want grand sacrifice to not be able to walk stably? " Deer was very good at capturing important points. He constantly questioned the little Holy Maiden, as if she really did look like that.

"Don't worry, I'm thinking about what will happen if I burn this thing!" "I heard that you can't burn corpse rope randomly. No matter which sect it is from, they all have this taboo." Zheng Wuxie used his dagger to continuously poke at the rope, then looked at the Holy Maiden who wanted to speak, and said: "Why are you so stupid, I didn't know why, it's already so obvious."

"Uncle Lu, I want to know why?" The little Holy Maiden shook her head, dispirited. She looked at the deer on the ground that could not get up, and her voice was filled with sorrow. Why are all of you like this? You lied to Mister, and you lied to me. Mister wants me to bring you back to the main stronghold to study for five years. After five years, you will be able to take charge of everything in the eight strongholds in place of Teacher. I want to know, what is this for? "

I looked at the scene in front of me in astonishment. Just like the little saint, I initially thought that the few people waiting at the door wanted to kill us. I didn't expect that such a sudden turn of events would cause us to turn traitor. This method of cleansing has become a little messy for me. I really can't figure it out.

"Ha ha!" Looking at the little saint, Lu only laughed, but did not answer the question, instead, he stared at Zheng Wuxie and said: "I really did not expect you to recognize that thing of mine, and that would be the end of it, but do you dare to do anything to me? "Your hands are stained with the tribe's blood. Saintess, you are the one who has ended up as the Holy Maiden."

"Don't think that you're amazing just because you have a little curse on you. Only a fool would do anything to you." Zheng Wuxie laughed sinisterly, then said to us: "Qi Qiao, carry the bodies of uncle Mu and the others back to the room, we will go in as well, and watch a good show."

"What do you want?" I puzzledly asked him, and started to carry Feng Shugu and the rest back to their rooms.

"We'll know when we see it. I really want to know what the consequences of burning this broken rope will be. Those rumors have all made this matter very serious. Today, we can finally see it for ourselves."

"NO!" You can't do this! " Deer's eyes were filled with panic when he heard this. His face was filled with fear. "You will be cursed. You won't get a good result if you burn the rope!"

"You didn't get a good result, right? Hehe!" Zheng Wuxie swiped the rope and the flame quickly followed the rope to the top. Under the deer's panic-stricken eyes, the last bit of the rope was burned to ashes in the air after Zheng Wuxie let go.

"Close the door, Cun Hu, cut a few holes in the door, you can see outside!"

Zheng Wuxie was urging them, but the few grand sacrifice people outside seemed to have gone crazy, as they raised the torches in their hands and walked in. From the gap that Fan Cunhu had opened, one could see their gazes that were like wild beasts.

The deer cried out. He looked frightened and struggled with all his might, but the few guys who had broken into the gate had really turned into wild beasts. They made unpleasant noises as they threw themselves onto the deer's body and started to bite at it with all their might.

The deer was howling miserably. As pieces of bloody flesh were bitten off from his body, his voice grew louder and louder.

Crack! A crisp sound rang out. It was the sound of a broken throat. Someone was about to place his hand on the neck of the deer. The deer's frightened face finally slowly drooped down.

This kind of tearing sound caused the hearts of everyone to pound loudly. The scene of a wild beast biting blood and splattering away was really hard to look at. I shivered. Man eats man!
