Chapter 197: Do you think my sword is real or fake?
After talking with You Ziheng, Zhou Heng went down the mountain.
However, since there were no evil ways in Yongzhou and the surrounding four states where Taihua Mountain was located, You Ziheng asked the big white crane to carry Zhou Heng to the west and landed in Fangzhou.
Because the evil ways were mostly gathered in the northwestern states, after Zhou Heng got off Taihua, he went west all the way, looking for those who used evil methods to make trouble, and killed one if he saw one, and killed two if he saw two.
In the mountains and fields, there were also seventh-grade warriors who used evil methods to establish evil cults, fooled the villagers, and took human lives lightly. Zhou Heng directly destroyed their sects and left no one alive.
After more than ten days in Fangzhou, Zhou Heng had killed more than 40 evil masters and destroyed three small evil sects. His reputation gradually spread, making many evil ways frightened.
However, it also made many outstanding people ready to attack and kill Zhou Heng to get rewards.
…
October 26, sunny.
Zhou Heng rode to Qingquan Town, Sanshui County, under the jurisdiction of Ganlu Prefecture, Fangzhou. He heard that the people here had strange diseases that were difficult to cure with medicine and only the doctors of the True Medical Sect could save them.
The people of Qingquan Town respected the disciples of the True Medical Sect as gods and offered them sacrifices all day long. The villagers also praised the True Medical Sect, saying that it was the latest rising righteous martial arts sect and would benefit the people in the future.
However, Zhou Heng once saved a teenager who escaped from Qingquan Town and told him the real situation of Qingquan Town.
The True Medical Sect called itself a cure, but in fact it was a threat. It required every household to offer their wealth and even their female relatives as sacrifices. If any family refused, someone in the family would be seriously ill and die in a few days, and the death would be extremely tragic.
The people of Qingquan Town could only do what the True Medical Sect asked them to do, in order to pray for peace and not be troubled by diseases.
In Zhou Heng's view, this was obviously the practice of the evil sect.
…
Zhou Heng came to the archway at the entrance of Qingquan Town and dismounted to lead the way.
There were two strong men guarding the gate of the town. When they saw Zhou Heng coming with a horse, their eyes flickered and they seemed a little flustered.
One of them stepped forward and asked, "Where are you going, young man?"
Zhou Heng had experience with similar things along the way, and smiled and said, "I came from Zhoujiazhuang, 300 miles away, to visit friends in Sanshui County. I need to pass through your town. Can you two help me?"
His "battle record" in the past ten days has made his life known all over Fangzhou. Many small evil sects and ordinary evil martial artists basically run away when they hear his name.
Therefore, starting from the recent few times, he did not reveal his identity, mostly using the excuse of visiting relatives or friends passing by here, or that it was late and the journey was long, so he wanted to stay overnight.
In short, try not to let those evil sects know his identity, and wait for him to enter these villages and towns, and then catch all of them in one fell swoop.
Of course, it doesn't matter if he is discovered, at most it will be troublesome and he needs to act quickly.
The man who came forward to ask the question heard Zhou Heng's words and shook his head and said, "Young man, please leave. You can take a detour. There is an epidemic in our town. It would be bad if it spreads to you."
The other man also nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, it would be bad if the epidemic spreads to you. I know another way to the county town. You can..."
The man was about to show Zhou Heng the way.
"Wait!"
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind the archway at the entrance of the town.
Then, a middle-aged man wearing a white brocade robe and a doctor's crown came out.
The two strong men guarding the gate were so scared when they saw the man that they dared not speak and all lowered their heads.
"You guys, really." The man walked to the archway with a kind smile and said to Zhou Heng with a smile: "Young man, Qingquan Town has always been hospitable. How can we turn away guests when they arrive at the door?"
"But I heard that the town was hit by an epidemic?" Zhou Heng acted embarrassed, as if he was about to back out, and said: "Or I'd better take a detour."
"That's not necessary." The man shook his head gently and smiled: "I am Wei Yang, a disciple of the True Medical Sect. Qingquan Town was indeed hit by an epidemic some time ago, but with the full assistance of my True Medical Sect, it has completely recovered. Young man, don't worry."
"True Medical Sect?" Zhou Heng hurriedly bowed and said: "So you are a disciple of the True Medical Sect. I have heard of you for a long time. I am Zhou Kun from Zhoujiazhuang, 300 miles away. I want to go to Sanshui County to visit relatives and friends. Thank you, Brother Wei, for your convenience."
He has said this many times in the past ten days. The only difference is that his identity has changed. He is completely calm and composed.
As for "I've heard of you for a long time...", it was just a polite statement.
"Haha, Brother Zhou, you don't have to be so polite. Please come into the town. We have excellent specialties here. If you are interested, you can enjoy them before you go on your way." Wei Yang said with a warm smile.
"Thank you very much." Zhou Heng laughed loudly, and led the horse into Qingquan Town.
After Zhou Heng's figure disappeared.
The two men who were guarding the archway before immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Wei Yang, and cried, "Uncle, uncle! We were wrong! We were wrong! We shouldn't have stopped him! Spare my life, spare my life!"
"No, no, you did a good job." Wei Yang laughed and said, "If you welcome him with joy, Zhou Heng might still be suspicious. Now is the right time."
He actually recognized Zhou Heng from the beginning and knew that this was the true disciple of the Pure Yang Palace who had killed many people from the evil sects recently. He just pretended not to know and let Zhou Heng enter the town.
The four evil sects jointly issued a hunting order, and the reward could be very tempting.
Anyway, the true medical sect is on the evil path, and it is not afraid of being targeted by these righteous sects. It is only right to kill Zhou Heng and get the reward.
At worst, he went to the Northern Zhou Dynasty or the Southern Jin Dynasty. The world is so big that there is always a place for him.
The true identity of Wei Yang is the deputy head of the True Medical Sect.
The cultivation of the peak of the seventh level has been completely condensed internally and can be initially revealed. It is only one step away from building a bridge between heaven and earth and returning to the secret sixth level of innate Qi.
It's just that he and the head of the True Medicine Sect only inherited the martial arts by chance, and their martial arts reached the sixth secret level. There was no way to go higher. This time, the four evil ways' pursuit of Zhou Heng was absolutely impossible in their opinion. Good opportunity.
"Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng, you've thrown yourself into a trap, don't blame me!" Wei Yang walked into the Zhenmen archway with a smile.
The two strong men guarding the gate were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat and almost lost all strength.
…
Not long after Wei Yang walked into the Zhenmen Archway, he saw a figure appearing in front of him.
This is a man who looks to be in his thirties, with a pale face and a feminine appearance. He is wearing a scholar's green shirt and looks like a scholar, but his eyes are colder than Wei Yang's.
It was none other than Hong Jiaren, the head of the True Medical Sect.
"Junior brother, Zhou Heng should already know that you have figured out his identity." Hong Jiaren walked over and said in a deep voice.
"He had no intention of hiding it." Wei Yang chuckled and said, "This kid has killed many evil masters and destroyed several evil sects in the past ten days, and his spirit has been developed.
"With this kind of mentality as a basis, Zhou Zheng definitely looks down on our newly established true medical sect, and the disguise of his identity is just a show. He must have expected that he will be found out.
"But he didn't care about this. He probably thought that if he found out on the spot, he would go straight in. If he didn't break up, he would enter the town and kill us all."
"Haha, you are young, but you are quite thoughtful!" Hong Jiaren sneered when he heard this and said, "This kid doesn't know that my true medical sect has been operating here for several months and has already left disease seeds in these people's bodies. As long as he If you get close to people, you will be infected with the disease.
"There are also formation talismans buried underground throughout Qingquan Town to create a disease formation. As long as you and I move our inner energy and create the magic formula, this kid's illness will break out and he will die instantly!"
"The little thief said, he doesn't know the heights of the world. He thinks he is born in pure Yang, so he dares to kill evil people all the way. He is really asking for death." Wei Yang also sneered.
"He came here probably because he heard what the boy from the Liu family said who escaped, but he didn't know that it was the bait I put out." Hong Jiaren laughed and said, "I didn't expect him to come so fast, but it was saved. Your and my brother’s efforts.”
"It was he who threw himself into a trap." Wei Yang looked towards the direction of the town and said with a smile: "It is fitting that you and I, brothers, will have a great opportunity to transcend the world."
At this time, in the hearts of Wei and Hong, Zhou Heng was already a dead man.
…
"Human sacrifices, disease seeds, talisman formations?" Zhou Heng led the horse and sneered in his heart, "It is really an evil sect."
Although he was far away, he could still clearly hear the conversation between Wei and Hong.
This is because since he stepped onto the seventh level, his innate skills have advanced to the state of great achievement, and his inner energy has further warmed and nourished his soul. In addition, the basic attribute bonus of the spirit of the Immortal Queen after killing Jade Dragon has been improved, and his soul perception has been Extremely strong.
Not to mention this small distance, he could hear clearly even if he went farther away.
This level of perception is far beyond the peak level of ordinary seventh-grade people.
Zhou Heng led his horse to the town, only to see that every door was closed, the streets were deserted, and it was as desolate as an old abandoned mountain village.
There is still gloom and mist everywhere, and there is no sign of people anywhere.
When he dispersed his soul perception, he could see that inside the closed door, many people were leaning against the cracks in the doors or windows to look at him, the "outsider", with worries hidden in their eyes, but they did not dare to speak out. remind.
As Zhou Heng continued to move forward, he suddenly heard a family crying. He walked forward and saw that it was a thatched house with an open door. He saw a young man holding the old man's thigh, kneeling on the ground, begging bitterly. .
"Father, father! My little sister has already fallen in love with someone, why did you sacrifice her to those thieves!" The young man looked sad, with tears streaming down his face, and there was blood on his forehead, which was obviously broken by kowtow.
"Son, what do you think?" The old man also had a sad look on his face and sighed: "If you don't save your sister from those older men, your mother and grandmother will both die of illness!"
At this time, a young girl walked out of a house not far away. She was in her twenties and eighties. She was pretty and charming. Although she only wore ordinary plain clothes, she still had a graceful posture.
"Father, I am willing to go." The girl frowned, with tears in her eyes, and said to the young man: "Brother, you don't have to ask. I am willing to go to repay my mother and grandma for their kindness in raising me."
"Sister!" The young man looked desperate and sat slumped on the ground, looking haggard. "It's me who is incompetent, it's me who is useless! Kong Kong traveled abroad for several years but achieved nothing. When he finally returned, he could only see the suffering at home and was helpless.
"If I had advanced martial arts, I should kill those thieves and make Qingquan Town clean! But I'm just an incompetent waste. It's all my fault!"
"My son! Don't talk nonsense. If you attract those big gentlemen, our whole family will turn into pus!" The old man was horrified and quickly interrupted the young man.
"Can you tell me who the great gentleman you are talking about is?" Zhou Heng parked his bay-red horse in front of the courtyard door, walked in, and asked, "What are you capable of and what have you done?"
"A foreigner?" When the old man saw Zhou Heng, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted repeatedly: "It's over, it's over, young man, why did you come to Qingquan Town? This is a miserable place in the world. Leave quickly. Don't stay. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it!”
"Brother, please hurry up and leave. If you are discovered by the senior gentlemen here, you really won't be able to leave." The girl quickly reminded her, and at the same time she looked around for fear that someone was coming.
Only the young man bowed his head when he saw Zhou Heng, prostrated himself on the ground, and begged: "Taoist Master Zhou, ten days ago you wiped out the evil sect in Youjiazhuang. I have seen your powerful martial arts. Please save my little sister." , save my family, I am willing to make a ring of grass to repay you, I beg you even if I die!"
It turned out that this young man was traveling abroad ten days ago. He had seen Zhou Heng kill evil masters and saw Zhou Heng's strength.
When I saw Zhou Heng this time, I immediately seemed to grasp a life-saving straw.
"It doesn't have to be like this." Zhou Heng smiled faintly, raised his right hand, and used his inner energy to lift the young man up to stand. He said with a smile: "Tell me, how many of those so-called 'big gentlemen' are there, and where do they come from? Come on, whatever skills you have.”
The old man had obviously heard his son tell about Zhou Heng's deeds, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his originally despairing face, and said: "I can answer the Taoist priest's questions. Please listen to my explanation."
Qingquan Town was originally a prosperous town in Sanshui County. It was famous for its delicious food and every household lived in prosperity.
Three months ago, a sudden epidemic hit. People in the town kept getting sick and even died. It was difficult for the medical clinics in Fucheng to treat them, and medicines and stones were useless.
At this time, a Jianghu sect calling itself the "True Medical Sect" came, claiming to have a way to cure the epidemic. Once used, it worked, and the doctors and officials in Fucheng left with satisfaction.
But since then, the True Medical Sect, which originally looked like a benevolent doctor, has changed its face, prohibiting people in the town from going out, and asking every household to provide them with financial support.
Later, even the beautiful female relatives were dedicated to them for fun.
If you don't agree, the disease will relapse immediately and become more serious than before treatment. You will die within a few days, and even worse, it will turn into pus, leaving no corpse behind.
After the old man narrated all this, he was about to beg Zhou Heng to save them from the sea of misery. But just as he was about to speak, the expression on his face suddenly became frightened, and he looked behind Zhou Heng with trembling eyes.
The young man and the girl were also trembling with fear, and collapsed on the ground, their faces turned earth-colored, and they did not dare to speak.
"If you speak so clearly, it seems that everyone in your family wants to die of illness." A voice with a faint smile came from behind Zhou Heng, it was Wei Yang who was wearing a white brocade robe.
The old man's family immediately knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Do you want them to die of illness?" Zhou Heng suddenly turned around, looked at Wei Yang, and said with a smile, "What if I don't let you?"
"Haha, you are going to die of illness, but you still have the heart to protect them?" Wei Yang sneered and said: "I am in the tiger's lair and the dragon's pond, and I don't know it. It seems that your purple electric thunder sword is just a false name, and the true legend of Chunyang Palace is nothing more than that. Such, rubbish."
"Really?" Zhou Heng grinned, raised his hand to hold the purple electric knife, and raised it above his head, "Then you have a taste, whether my knife is empty or real!
"Winter thunder and thunder!!"
