C268 bloody

After five consecutive days of camping outside, at noon on the sixth day after coming out, we finally saw the entrance of Miao Village under the heavy rain overhead. Although it was said that the spring rain was as precious as oil, when the rain came to a large area without an umbrella to cover the rain, the people that were drenched would have a feeling that they didn't want to eat the oil.

Zheng Wuxie and I were both covered in mud, and we both fell down the road, but there was one time when we were careless and almost fell down the mountain stream and died, which made us look extremely miserable. When we saw the gourd-shaped entrance, we looked at each other and sighed. This time, the search for the witch was rather smooth. Just that, the dangerous situation that we faced was the kind that could lead us to our deaths.

I felt that I had become more haggard, not to mention the stubble on my beard. Just thinking about the few kilograms of meat that I had exhausted made my heart ache. It's not easy to grow fat. It's so hard to grow a few kilograms of meat, but it falls so fast.

"What are you doing?" Even in such a heavy rain, there were still people guarding the entrance to the valley. An arrow was inserted a meter in front of me and kept shaking. Two lean men jumped down from the tree and stood in front of us.

I threw over the wooden tablet that Zhao QIu had given me, which had a grave that had been dug up. The two men inspected it and then wordlessly stepped aside. This time, they didn't even question me in detail. They seemed to be very absent-minded.

"Qi Qiao, this doesn't seem to be right!" Zheng Wuxie said to me and I nodded. He could feel it the moment he entered the valley. Compared to the relaxed atmosphere from a few days ago, there seemed to be a depressing atmosphere that permeated the air in the rain. It was not the heaviness of the rain, but the reality.

The rain fell onto the ground, forming many tiny streams of water that flowed towards the low lying area on the already muddy ground. Zheng Wuxie and I stood still, looking at the blood that was flowing in front of our feet.

All the houses that could be seen in this valley were closed. The last time they came, the noisy crowd on the roadside had disappeared, and the patrolling young man had also disappeared. The door to the house on the left creaked open, and a child sighed timidly. A woman's voice sounded in the room, and with one hand, she pulled the child back and slammed the door shut. The window on the right was open, and someone was looking out through it, but just as I turned to look, the window slammed shut, and at the last moment I saw a pair of eyes full of loathing and hatred.

"What's going on!" My heart thumped, Zheng Wuxie squatted down and stood up, his hand dipped in the bloody rain and smelt it, telling me it was human blood. The two of us looked at each other and immediately ran as fast as we could toward the larger valley behind us.

The air at the back of the valley was filled with the smell of blood. The blood on the road had not dried yet, but it had mixed with the rain and had covered the entire road. There were a few corpses that had been abandoned on the ground. The exposed faces had a dark green color to them. It was obvious that they had been poisoned to death. There must have been a violent struggle before he died.

A few pairs of eyes stared coldly at us from within the depths of the passageway. Although they didn't attack us, the tyrannical killing intent that was gathered together by many people seemed to have turned into reality.

There was no physical presence in the passageway that the Deadqi was in, but the stench of blood was even stronger. There were four to five rooms with white banners hanging outside their doors. On both sides of the doors, there were even rows of white lanterns hanging down. The room where Zhao Qiujiu lived with his old man and his seniors was one of them. This discovery made a bad feeling rise in my heart.

The little guy seemed to be very anxious. He came out from my backpack, ignoring the rain falling on my shoulder as he continuously whined, urging me to quickly go in and take a look.

Bang! Bang! Bang! I had just knocked on the door when it was opened from the inside. The one who opened the door was Zhao QIu's little senior brother. He was still wearing his black cloak, but there was a hemp rope tied around his waist and a white cloth strip tied around his arm.

"Come in!" He pulled Zheng Wuxie and I in and quickly closed the door, as if he was guarding against something. I wasn't in the mood to care about that until I found Zhao Qijiu's shadow among the people in the room.

A large black canvas was laid out in the center of the room. On the bamboo bed in front of the canvas was a corpse covered with a blanket. In front of the corpse was a censer. Behind the black canvas curtain, there was no need to think to know that it was a coffin.

No one said anything. The old man from the Zhao Family was not here. Zheng Wuxie and I went forward and paid our respects. The senior brothers who were kneeling on both sides, bowed in return, and only then did Zhao Qiong Jiu hurriedly stand up and lead us towards the back.

"How did this happen!?" "First, change into my clothes. You guys go back inside, I'll go get some clothes." When we reached the backyard, Zhao QIanjiu hurried back to his room. Zheng Wuxie and I went to the room that I used to stay in, which had been cleaned up by people. The things on the bed and table were extremely tidy. After taking a break from what he was wearing, he also placed the Demon Subduing Pestle against the wall and wiped it with a towel. Then, he opened the door and walked in with two sets of clothes.

"Where's Cun Hu?" I couldn't care about changing it, I didn't see Fan Cunhu when I first entered, and the bloody Miao Village made me feel uneasy. If it was a battle of force, I wouldn't be that worried about Fan Cunhu, but the people here aren't simple, if they were to use some underhanded method …

"Cun Hu is fine, protect the old man and go talk to someone!" With those words, my heart felt like it was being pounded on the ground, and with a bang, I calmed down. It didn't matter who was in trouble. As long as their brothers were fine, they would be fine.

"What's going on? How did it become like this? " I then started to pay attention to the situation in Miao Village, and started to change out of the clothes Zhao Qi had placed on the bed. The rain had made Zheng Wuxie and I to fall into a pool of sweat, but our physical fitness was extremely strong, so we did not have any symptoms of a headache.

Zhao QIu laughed bitterly and said, "The day after you left, those old fellows broke off their negotiations. After that, the stronghold became a complete mess. "Today's situation is much better. The group of old guys have all sat down at the table once more to discuss things …"

Zhao QIu told us a little about what had happened in the past few days. The cause of this incident was the elders discussing it on the table until they collapsed. Several influential figures had died on the spot, and it was a scheme by their own fellow sect members.

Those who advocated for the birth of a new sect and those who did not want the wuzhong's power to appear in the secular world started to clean up the mess. Moreover, there were even some who had grudges against them that took advantage of the chaos to take revenge, causing the situation to instantly turn into this way.

Deadqi was one of them. Although there were also elderly who advocated for the birth of a new sect, there was no such tragic internal conflict. But even so, some people still dared to make a move on the Deadqi. Some people wanted to force them to express their opinion, and some people did it purely to get rid of the Deadqi's disciples. "The one that was placed in the mourning hall was the one that was attacked by someone the night before yesterday." This is just like a group of demons dancing around. " After hearing that two small forces had already come here and killed them all, and that it was a group of blade-wielding people, Zheng Wuxie sighed.

"How much hatred is this? They were all killed. " I frowned, as if it wasn't just to force people to express their opinions. It was simply to kill.

"I don't know!" However, I heard from my family's old man that those two small powers are very united and do not advocate the outside world. It is enough to say that it is the hundred thousand mountains of wuzhong, you can't go against the rules. Then, twenty-nine people, all of them died in one night without even being able to cry out. "

"You don't want to be born? Killed with a knife? " He had a look in his eyes that told me that he should be thinking the same thing. This thing might have been done by the pirates, and back at the Wutong stronghold, they seemed to have been hiding behind their backs the entire time. I was even starting to suspect if this so-called storm was caused by those people.

"The water here is really deep!" Zheng Wuxie grinned, saying that he was smiling, but it seemed like he wasn't, and seemed to be ridiculing Zhao Qi more, "When I was leaving with Qi Qiao, Qi Qiao told you to guard against the pirates, is there any clues?"

"Cun Hu killed four of the scum's ninjas the day before yesterday, but the elders in the family will not let anyone know about this matter." Zhao QIu nodded, which made the sneer on Zheng Wuxie's face become even more pronounced.

"If you don't court death, you won't die!" I'm not sure who Zheng Wuxie is talking about, and even though it sounds more like his own laments, I am sure that he was hinting at something. " It is right to keep quiet, otherwise the sudden exposure of a person who is used to being a thief will definitely make things even more complicated for them. "

I realized that the old people were more thoughtful than we were. Moreover, there was another drawback to identifying the existence of the pirates, which was that it would be easier to draw aggro on the Deadqi.

"Right now, it is only right for us to protect ourselves, but Cun Hu had already killed four of the pirates, so why wouldn't anyone come and find trouble with him?" I looked at Zhao Jiu and said, "This doesn't seem to fit with the short fellows' personalities."
