I plant love Gu for Xianjun

After all, A-Ting was captured and brought back.

Unsurprisingly, he was severely beaten, put into a tattered sack like garbage, and kicked back and forth by several gangsters.

In order to serve as a warning to others, those gangsters also ordered other children to come up to clean up the aftermath, digging out the bloody and bloody A Zing from the sack bit by bit.

And when Manzi forcibly pulled out a deciduous tooth that had not yet loosened from A’s mouth, not only A’s face turned pale from the pain, and he was almost choked by the blood gushing out of his mouth, the children were also trembling with fright. Trembling and crying.

But after all, the bandits didn't take A-Ding's life.

Feng Zhangjun originally thought that it was because those gangsters wanted to continue to sell A-Zhi; but the truth was not the case.

Ah Ting's injuries were very serious, there were several fractures alone, and countless bruises.On the night after he was carried back to the monk's dormitory, he started to have a fever and lay on the couch talking nonsense in a daze.

The children had no other choice but to take turns rubbing his body with fresh well water and applying chewed herbs to the wound, hoping that it would work.

Maybe it's because children's vitality is more tenacious than adults, or maybe it's the little bit of daily practice that protected A'Ding's heart. After a night of high fever, his condition miraculously stabilized. The next day After the burn faded, he regained his sanity.

During the day, the other children have heavy work to do.Ah Qing, who was slightly younger, took on the responsibility of taking care of Ah Ding alone, but she did well.

After being seriously injured, A-Ting became quieter than usual, as if he grew up a few years overnight.And Feng Zhangjun can also see that the bright light in A'Zuo's eyes is disappearing, and the pupils are dark, as if he is falling into a deep well where no sunlight can be seen.

And the miracle that can save him seems to be far away.

-

At noon that day, Ah Qing brought Ah Ding a bowl of rice porridge that was so thin that the bottom of the bowl could almost be seen clearly, and another news that surprised him.

"Brother Ah Ting, Huikong seems to be dying...he said he wanted to see you."

Although Huikong's residence was also within Shanguo Temple, it was a little far away from the main hall wing rooms where the gangsters came and went.During the noon period, the gangsters were eating and drinking, so they should have no time to take into account the movement outside.

With Ah Qing's support, Ah Ding staggered all the way to the meditation room where Hui Kong lived.

Although it is dilapidated, it is tidy.It's just that no one seems to clean it these days. The tung flower in full bloom in the courtyard has lost many petals due to the heavy rain, and there is a faint smell of corruption in the fragrance of the flower.

In the meditation room, Hui Kong was lying on the bed, motionless.His face and lips were blue-gray, and he looked more like the dilapidated stone statues under the broken wall in the backyard, but those statues were lifelike, and Huikong looked more like a real dead person.

Feng Zhangjun followed Ah Zhe to the bed, and saw a few puddles of dried blood on the bedding, and there was still some rancid smell in the air.All signs indicated that Huikong had been bedridden for some time.

Ah Zing called softly a few times, then reached out and pushed the pillow.After a while, Huikong barely opened his eyes and focused on the bed with difficulty.

"You're here." His voice sounded very hoarse, "Give me some water..."

Ah Qing immediately poured a glass of water from the table and brought it over, the slightly taller Ah Ying took it, carefully lifted Hui Kong's head, and fed him a few mouthfuls.

Only then did Huikong wake up a little bit.He took a few breaths and spoke again, letting Ah Ding take out something from the gap between the corner of his bed and the pillow.

Ah Zing reached out to fumble, and took out a small porcelain bottle about the length of a finger and the thickness of a thumb.

"This, you put it away." Hui Kong told him, "Don't let them find out."

Ah Ding nodded, clutching the porcelain bottle in her palm, and then asked in a low voice, "What's in the bottle?"

"...It's poison."

Huikong's answer is somewhat unexpected, but reasonable: "... Long before the gangsters came to Shanguo Temple, there were real monks here. They guarded a poisonous cliff. Later, the monks Before leaving, they destroyed the cliff...but I still found a small piece of residue, and made this out of that poisonous stone."

"You want me to use this to poison those guys?!" A-Ting quickly understood his intention, "But why don't you use it yourself?"

Huikong laughed hard: "Do you think killing people is such an easy thing?"

Before Ah Tu could reply, he shook his head feebly again: "No, it should be said that killing people is not difficult. The difficulty is how to make up your mind to kill people."

As he said that, he turned his gaze from Ah Ding's body to the mottled and decayed beams above his head.

"Ah, Ah Qing, would you like to hear me tell a story... Maybe it will be the last story in my life."

Hui Kong's story, the first sentence is like this -

A long time ago, not so long ago, in a small town near Liuquan City, there was a young man.He passed many tests and became the only immortal disciple in their family and in that town.

Although the immortal sect he worshiped was not a big sect like Yun Cang and Dong Xianyuan, but at that time, it was already a great event for the son of a poor peasant family to step on the immortal journey by virtue of his own strength.

After biding farewell to his parents and sister, the young man rushed to the fairy gate with a light bag on his back.

The time in Xianmen may be the most carefree and happiest time in the youth's life.A group of young people of the same age ate together, lived together, and practiced martial arts together, and they soon fell in love with brothers.

Seven or eight years passed in a flash, the young man had a small success in his studies, and began to travel with his brothers and sisters.They have subdued evil spirits and demons in many places, and wherever they go, they are always sought after and treated by people, and they are always in the limelight.

The young man even naively fantasized that in the future, he could also become an immortal monarch who is as respected as the head of the sect and who is not old for a hundred years, and even one day he will be ranked in the immortal class and achieve a positive result.

But all this is doomed to fail.

The turning point of the story happened in a small village in a remote mountainous area.Recently, babies in the village have been mysteriously missing, with no one alive or dead.The villagers spontaneously searched for a period of time, and finally found a huge cave at the bottom of the cliff separated from the village by a mountain, and there were many children's clothes left nearby.

In the cave, there is actually a coffin array that was laid out in unknown year and month. Because the cave is dark and almost night, once the villagers get close, they will be attacked by ghouls. Immortal disciples.

Speaking of this, Hui Kong seemed to have lost all strength and had to stop to breathe.Ah Tuo also hurriedly supported him to drink a few more sips of water, while Ah Qing simply climbed onto the bed and cared for Hui Kong's back.

After a while, Hui Kong slightly raised his hand to indicate that he was fine, but when he spoke again, he gave a hoarse wry smile.

"At that time, the young man and his fellow apprentices had already encountered similar commissions several times, and each time they were able to solve the problem easily. Therefore, he thought it was just another trivial matter. But it turned out that he wrong."

The cave hidden under the cliff looks inconspicuous at the entrance, but the inside is extremely spacious and huge.Under the stalactites hanging upside down like a cluster of knives, nearly a hundred wooden coffins are densely packed.And the owners of those coffins are currently sleeping in the darkness of the cave.

"You don't want to know what kind of scene it was..."

Despite such a sigh, Huikong continued, "The owners of the coffins are all female corpses. They wear loose and rotten clothes and lie in heavy coffins. The coffin is empty, except for the female corpses. There is nothing left. "

Afterwards they learned that hundreds of years ago, an ancient tribe existed in this valley, and the women in the coffins were all brides sacrificed to the mountain god.

The huge cave was quickly searched, but no trace of a child was found.Is the murderer someone else, or is there another secret in this cave?I don't know where the answer should come from.

And just when everyone was at a loss, there was movement in the coffin.

The female corpse came back to life, and started a fierce battle with the intruding disciples of the fairy gate.As for the outcome of the fierce battle, there was no suspense—all the female corpses were wiped out, leaving no one alive.

But what happened next left everyone present shocked and stunned!

Those female corpses who had obviously fallen to the ground were slowly wriggling in their stomachs under their loose robes, and there were even faint crying sounds.

It wasn't until this time that the young man discovered in astonishment that all those children were hidden in the female corpses, and during the fierce battle just now, many female corpses were stabbed several times, and the babies in the womb also died at the same time! !

Hearing this, Feng Zhangjun felt a sudden shock in his heart - it turned out to be this matter!

In fact, this public case is quite well-known in the Central Plains cultivation world, so that no matter which sect’s disciples, at the beginning of their safari training, they will be told about the tragedy, and they will be told repeatedly: Whenever they encounter children, especially In the case of a baby, the belly of the ghost must first be observed to ensure that no living child is in its womb.

But then again, the details of the case described during the safari training are quite different from what Hui Kong said now.

Just as he was thinking, he heard Hui Kong let out a long sigh, and continued to speak.

After discovering the baby in the woman's womb, all the disciples present fell into an indescribable panic.After a frantic rescue, it was finally confirmed that there were only four injured babies alive, and all the others died in the fighting.

Now came the hardest part—how to bring the four surviving babies back, and how to explain the fatal sword wounds on them and the bodies of other babies?

Female corpses don't know how to use swords, and even the most remote mountain people can understand the origin of these wounds.And when the original savior became the executioner who took away their hope and love, what will happen next?

Among the dozen or so disciples, disagreements arose.

At the beginning, the young man and the other two disciples insisted on telling the child's relatives the truth.Including the corpse, it should also be transported back to the village so that it can be buried.

However, the remaining disciples raised fierce objections.The reason is also very simple-according to the rules of the cultivation world, disputes within or between immortal sects can be settled through negotiation using the internal laws of the immortal sect.But once innocent civilians are involved, it must be handed over to Fazong to solve it.

Right now, the tragic deaths of these many children must be a major case in Fazong's eyes.It is conceivable that all the brothers present not only have their dream of cultivating immortals ended today, but they are even very likely to be abolished in their cultivation, thrown into prison, and end their lives like this!
