Chapter 113:
Due to the long-term wars in Myanmar and the separation of various forces, comprehensive peace has not yet been restored. Some areas are often bombarded with fire and abuse during the day and night. People living in a peaceful country are unimaginable. In the border areas of the two countries, it is even more difficult. Hundreds of thousands of refugees have gathered. These people are homeless and can only make small business on the border.
As for Xianda Village, at the foot of a high mountain on the border, there are dense forests. Without the guidance of the locals, it is difficult for outsiders not to get lost in it, let alone find Song En. Although Longshen and Dongzhi are practitioners, they are not innocent. The immortals that can’t be, they must ask for directions first, and the small population of Xianda Village is very sensitive to outsiders. If they are not good, Song En will know in advance, and they will be in a passive situation on the Winter Solstice.
At this time, the Winter Solstice proposed to them that the troops should be divided into two groups.
Master Xinchai said: "Dividing troops is also a good way. I will let Kenta come with you."
The winter solstice shook his head: "You are all from your own country, and when they look at your clothes, they know that you are not ordinary people. I went there alone and pretended to be someone who went to Songen for help, which can lower their vigilance. You stay away. Some, if you can find another way to get in, it would be even better, since Song En could expect us to find Qi Rui, he must have been waiting for us to send it to the door."
The other party may have expected Long Shen to come, but not necessarily expected to get the letter and guess. At this time, the more cards they have, the better the odds of winning, because in front of them is Song En's territory. count.
Listening to what he said made sense, Xin guess nodded and agreed to the plan.
"Don't be reckless." Long Shen said to the Winter Solstice.
Hearing the concern, Dongzhi smiled at him, waved his hand, turned and walked towards the village.
After he walked out for a while and then turned back, Long Shen and the others were gone.
When the car arrived at the terminal, it was a small town. After passing through a small town with a small population, it was a rugged mountain road with many plants. You could see a path that was obviously artificially walked on the ground. There is a village in the distance around the corner, but this is just what it looks like. The winter solstice has been gone for half an hour, and it has not come to an end.
At noon, the sun was just up, and the temperature here was much higher than the domestic temperature. He had to roll up his sleeves to relieve the sultry heat. The place where the piano case with the long guard sword and the shirt on his back were stuck together was also sweating. , sticky and greasy, a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, there was a scream from the front, as if someone was bitten by something.
Finally hearing the voice of the people, the spirit of the winter solstice was lifted, and the pace quickly ran over.
Turning the corner ahead, he soon saw a man sitting on the ground.
At first glance, the other party looked like a local, a dark-skinned, seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy, with his fat trousers rolled up, revealing a calf underneath, a pained expression on his face, tangled in a ball.
Hearing the footsteps, the other party turned his head, and when he saw the winter solstice, he saw that he was an outsider, and immediately showed a vigilant and unkind expression.
The winter solstice pointed to the boy's leg, made a gesture, and said in English, "What's wrong with your leg, do you need help?"
He was already prepared to take out the translation software if the other party didn't understand it, but who knew that the other party also replied in English: "I was bitten by a snake just now, it seems to be poisonous, and I can't stand up now, can you help me to my house? ,just in front?"
Looking at the winter solstice, there was indeed a bite mark on the boy's leg, which was gushing blood, but the boy himself tied the leg with a cloth, temporarily preventing the toxin from flowing into the body faster.
"Of course, do I need to take you to the hospital?"
The teenager shook his head: "We have detoxification herbs in our house."
He raised the boy's arm on his shoulder, followed the direction of the other party's guidance, and helped him to walk towards the village, while inquiring about the situation of the village casually.
I learned from the teenager that his name is Suqi, and he is a villager of Xianda Village. This village is located on the border. In the past, when the relationship between Thailand and Myanmar was not good, he was not less involved. Many refugees from Myanmar fled, but they were not affected by this side. According to the government, the Suqi family are refugees who escaped because of the war in Myanmar. But after Master Song En came here, everything changed. Many people came from afar to visit Master, and even the villagers in this village benefited a lot. Even the drug lords who used to control the place did not dare to do anything wrong.
During the winter solstice, he glanced at the poppy fields in the distance. He knew that in some parts of Southeast Asia, this plant was grown as an economic crop and depended on it for survival. He had also heard that more than ten years ago, the local government was under international pressure. , destroyed most of the poppy fields, and the drug trade was illegal on the surface, but it was never cut off in the dark. The local government tried to change their minds by allowing residents to plant coffee beans and flowers instead. Alternative crops have not brought them money as quickly as opium poppy, and places like Xianda Village are remote and complex, and often have little effect.
Just when Su Qi was excited to introduce to him the poppy that was about to bloom in the distance and had buds, what the winter solstice thought was that China's borders have kept domestic peace and tranquility, but beyond the borders, there are still sources. The constant cultivation of poppies is a source of income for the local people, but their finished products are regarded as a source of viciousness that tempts human nature to degenerate, causing the anti-narcotics police to run away again and again and sacrifice silently. , and let countless families fail.
"Dong, what are you in a daze, don't those flowers look good?" He couldn't tell the difference between "Winter" and "Dong" because his pronunciation was wrong, and the Winter Solstice didn't correct him.
Dongzhi smiled and didn't want to say more, and instead asked: "So, you all know Master Song En? If I want to visit him, can you recommend me?"
"I knew you were here to find him. Every year, many people come to see the master. They have many wishes and want the master to help them realize it. Do you also have one?" Su Qi showed a sly smile.
Dongzhi pretended to be distressed and sighed: "Of course, my girlfriend left me, I want her to change her mind, I heard that Master Song En can help me become richer, if I have money, I can beat Her suitor, chase her back!"
Su Qi nodded: "Then Master Song En will help you, he is a very good person."
For the villagers here, it is naturally a good person who can bless their grace.
During the conversation, Dongzhi and Suqi came to a room. An old woman was sitting at the door. The other party saw Suqi's wound and quickly got up and walked away. After a while, he brought a bowl and put the crushed herbs in it. Apply to the wound along with the juice.
Su Qi said a few words to her, and Bibi the winter solstice, as if explaining the meaning of the winter solstice. The old woman nodded at the winter solstice, smiled kindly, and put her hands together. Say hello.
"She is my grandmother, her name is Sarah. I told her that you helped me back. Sarah went to prepare lunch for us. After eating, I will take you to the master." Su Qi explained.
The lunch is very simple, it is the common grilled fish and rice here, and the taste is not delicious, but I was really hungry on the winter solstice, so I thanked Suqi and his grandmother and finished it with them.
After the meal, Su Qi brought two more glasses of water and told him: "It's the juice of a plant called calanchi, which we often use as a drink here, and it tastes good."
The winter solstice tasted it, and it tasted very sweet, but soon he felt a little dizzy, and he couldn't even sit still, so he had to hold on to the edge of the table. Looking at Su Qi again, this simple young man showed an inexplicable smile at this time. .
"What did you put in it?" Dongzhi held his forehead with a look of horror.
Su Qi smiled and said, "You didn't come to ask Master Zongen to do things, right? I've seen it for a long time. If you want to be detrimental to the master, a bad person like you can't move, and look at me consciously. Cut off your hands and feet with a knife, and then dedicate your head to the guru, and he can use your head for bowing, which is the last contribution you can provide to the guru."
Winter Solstice frowned: "How can you be so vicious at such a young age? Does your grandmother know you do this?"
Su Qi sneered: "Of course, Master Song En is our benefactor. Whoever wants to harm him is against us! Are you feeling numb and unable to move your limbs now?"
Winter Solstice: "No."
Su Qi: ? ? ?
Dongzhi stretched his waist and spread his hands to him: "Look, you can still move, doesn't your poison work?"
Suqi: …
Winter Solstice said innocently: "I think the reason why I was dizzy just now was probably because I had been eating too much. Will the poison be eaten by you yourself?"
Su Qi was furious: "How is this possible, I gave you a bow!"
When the words fell, his face changed, he covered his stomach and bent down, groaning from his mouth.
The old woman who didn't know where she was hiding suddenly ran out, supported Su Qi, panicked, and said many local dialects to the Winter Solstice, but the Winter Solstice didn't understand her, so she ignored her.
"Let me tell you, you must have given it to yourself, or else you will take me to see Song En and let him help you to surrender?" He looked at Su Qi and said with a smile.
"Impossible, I just watched you drink it, and it's also in the meal!" Su Qi refused to believe that he would miss.
The winter solstice shrugged with regret: "I'm sorry, I already took the antidote before I came here. I heard that you are protected by Zongen and respect him very much. He must have taught you some small tricks, but you I grew up in the local area, and the place was empty just now, and I was bitten by snakes. Do you think it is reasonable? I can only say that I am smarter than you."
This place is hard to guard against. Although they came in a hurry, they did not forget to prepare. Not only was this place not peaceful, but there were also many snakes, insects, rats and ants. If they didn’t get a headshot, they could easily get miasma. Teach them how to counterattack. Although the too complicated head-dropping technique cannot be guaranteed to be useful, the general small tricks are not a problem.
Taking 10,000 steps back, he already has a vicious and strange ghost face in his body, and he is not worried about the back when he is in debt. Compared with Song En, Su Qi's petty troubles can only be regarded as fur.
While speaking, Su Qi was already suffering from abdominal pain and rolled on the ground with her stomach in her arms. The old woman was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, so she had to kowtow to the Winter Solstice again and again. Knowing that it should be begging for forgiveness.
In normal times, Dongzhi may be soft-hearted, but just now she knew that her grandson lowered her head to him, and the old woman did not stop her, so she was not much better, so in the face of her begging for mercy, Dongzhi was indifferent and said to Su Qi: "Now I'll give you two choices, either you take me to see Songen, and I'll give you the antidote, or you take me to see Songen, and let Songen detoxify you."
Su Qi really wanted to ask what was the difference between the two choices, but he couldn't open his mouth in pain, so he could only use his eyes resentfully to reach the winter solstice.
This kind of pain makes people unable to do anything, but it has not reached the point of death from pain. It is so uncomfortable that he feels that he is really better off dead.
"I'll take you……"
The winter solstice pointed to the old woman: "Ask your grandmother to take me there. When I see Song En, I will give her the antidote."
Su Qi said intermittently: "Only I know where the master lives. I am the most trusted person in this village..."
Winter Solstice asked suspiciously, "Are you still able to walk?"
Su Qi said: "I can't walk, you help me detoxify first."
Winter Solstice: "Oh, then don't go, you'll die of pain."
Suqi: …
Even Liu Qingbo could be **** to death by the Winter Solstice, so what is it? In the end, he could only endure the pain, clutching his stomach, staggering, and leading the way for the Winter Solstice in front of him.
Su Qi led the winter solstice around to the dense forest behind the village, and then led him through the dense forest, twisting and turning, and finally came to a river.
Seeing the river means leaving the jungle, and suddenly seeing the light, it also means that the winter solstice is familiar here.
Because at Che Bai, he once came to this place in the form of a soul, and he had a brief confrontation with the demon.
Of course, it was Che Bai who had a brief confrontation with the yet-to-be-formed Demon.
As the legendary demon king, Popeye is not only evil, but also powerful. It should not be resurrected in this world. Song En, a demon who yearns for darkness, broke the balance of the world and tried to summon and resurrect Popeye. If you wait for it When it is completely formed, I am afraid that no one will be its opponent, let alone Japan, there is also a Otowa Hatohiko who destroys the stone tablet and wants to wake up a more powerful monster. The consequences are simply unimaginable.
Therefore, if you want to strangle the demons before they are fully formed, now is the best time.
When you come here, you don't need to lead the way, you can actually find the location on the winter solstice.
In the woods on the other side of the river, a two-story stockade with exposed roofs was where Song En was.
He had no time to think about Long Shen and Xin guessing whether they were hiding somewhere, or whether they entered the stockade earlier than him. In the winter solstice, Xin Xin guessed that the territory of a top-level descendant must be full of dangers and traps, and the other party has If I had known that he would come, the consequences could be imagined without much thought.
He followed behind Su Qi, and while walking, he kept calm, and sprinkled the medicine powder that Xin Gues had given him earlier on his body.
Su Qi was thinking of waiting for the winter solstice to step into the trap, but who knew that when he turned his head and looked, the other party was still walking forward as if nothing had happened, and his face changed.
Seeing him sneaking on the winter solstice, I was not sure that there was a trap, but now I can be sure.
"You're also a head-turner? You're here to find a master to fight?" A hint of fear finally appeared on Su Qi's face.
"Yeah!" Winter Solstice said casually, "Has there been a head-turner who came to fight him before?"
"Many. But none of them came out alive." Su Qi sneered, "When they went, their attitude was more arrogant than you, but now they have also become a container for masters to practice, and there is also Ti Song. !"
He said his personal name, and he didn't know the winter solstice, but he could guess that he might also be a famous descendant.
Xinchai once told Winter Solstice that Song En had killed a lot of head-turning masters over the years and made countless enemies. There were also several famous head-turning masters who had joined forces to destroy Song-en, but they were unsuccessful in the end. , The five people also lost two, and in that battle, Song En became famous. Later, he stayed in a corner and didn't come out to cause trouble, so everyone turned a blind eye and just assumed that there was no such person.
But now that I heard that he was secretly summoning the demon to return, even Xingua couldn't sit still. Once the demon was born, the first to become a sea of corpses and blood must be the land under its feet. No one wants to see such a thing happen. .
"Master, I'm Su Qi, forgive me for bringing your enemy here, I was coerced!"
The two came to the outside of the stockade, and with a plop, they knelt on the ground, hugged their stomachs, and wailed in the local language.
From outside the low wooden fence, the winter solstice saw a few people cleaning the yard. They clearly heard the movement here, but they still bowed their heads and went about their own business as if they didn't hear it.
But when Su Qi finished saying these words, he suddenly jumped up, and before the winter solstice could stop him, he rushed into the yard, stood on the steps outside the house, turned around and leaned against the wall to breathe, revealing the winter solstice. Weird smile.
The winter solstice didn't have time to see his smile, because at this time, countless thin snakes suddenly drilled out of the soil under his feet, with copper ring patterns, black and gold color, hissing, not afraid of the power of the powder, vertical He got up and opened his mouth to bite down on his calf.
The winter solstice jumped up and took a few steps back, but soon, the number of thin snakes was dense, and they had surrounded him from all directions, and the speed was extremely fast. Maybe it only takes half a second to bite.
Knowing this trap, he has seen several head-turning masters, and some enemies who dared to disrespect Master Song En fell on this defense line, swallowed by ten thousand snakes, riddled with holes and dead. corpse.
There is no doubt that he believes that the winter solstice must not be escaped this time.
But in the next moment, the sinister smile of Su Qi solidified on his face.
Because he saw the winter solstice taking out two yellow papers with both hands, chanting words in his mouth, and then throwing the two papers in the front and back directions, but the moment the two talisman papers touched the snake group, there was no fire and spontaneous combustion, and soon Swept through the entire swarm of snakes and devoured them all.
"What kind of sorcery is this!" Su Qi exclaimed in shock.
In his mind, Master Song En is supreme, and he also prides himself on the side of justice.
Dongzhi himself also found out that after the head down on his body was suppressed by Che Bai, and he was no longer sick, it seemed that his original ability had also improved. Long Shen said that this was because Shangqing Dan was originally used to condition the body. Excellent medicine, but he took it in a hurry at the time, resulting in the old injury not being healed, and the effect of Shangqing Dan could not be brought into play. Now Che Bai helps him to temporarily suppress the lowering of his head, and the misunderstandings have also sorted out his original mess. The astral qi of the old man is healed, and the strength can be fully exerted naturally. When the head down is lifted, there will be no more worries.
Just when the snake group was helpless about the winter solstice, a person walked out of the house, Su Qi turned his head and said with great joy, "Master Shawang!"
Song En's apprentice Shawang ignored Suqi, his eyes were on the winter solstice, and a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth, as if he was looking at a dead man.
"You really came."
The winter solstice spreads his hands: "Didn't you ask me to come? Where's Song En? Did you hide in the house in fright?"
Shawang snorted coldly: "I don't need my master to deal with you, call out all your helpers, lest I have to clean up one by one later!"
"are you talking about me?"
Xinchai's apprentice Kenta appeared on the fence in front of the stockade, holding a large snake with a bowl mouth as thick as an adult man's arm. But in Kenta's hands, he was stiff and surprisingly well-behaved.
Shawang's face sank: "Let it go!"
Kenta threw the Ugin serpent to the ground, the serpent trembled twice, and finally remained motionless, completely out of breath.
"Who are you!" Seeing his beloved pet being killed like this, Shawang blushed with anger.
Kenta clasped her hands together and walked over: "I won't tell evil people my name."
He whispered to the winter solstice: "Mr. Long has already gone to find the demon first, so let's bring Song En out first."
The winter solstice nodded lightly, he understood what Kenta meant, the enemy was dark and we were clear, and Master Xinchai, as a dark son, came out later to lower the opponent's defense.
Seeing them whispering, Shawang became more and more annoyed, biting his index finger in his mouth and whistling, four figures ran out from behind the house and rushed towards the Winter Solstice and Kenta.
The four people were all blond and expressionless. Before the Winter Solstice had time to observe carefully, they heard Kenta shout: "They are medicine men, it's useless to shoot, don't fight head-on!"
Winter Solstice quickly understood what it meant to shoot was useless, because as soon as his long guard sword was unsheathed, it swept the opponent's neck, but this was originally the most vulnerable part, but it was cut by the sharp blade but was unscathed. Instead, he grabbed the Changshou sword and pulled the Winter Solstice in his direction!
Naturally, the Changshou Sword could not be torn off, so the Winter Solstice jumped up and swept towards the other person on the shoulder of the opponent, with the tip of the sword pointing directly between the eyebrows.
The extremely fast-casting sword tip finally pokes a hole between the eyebrows, but it doesn't stop there. Soon two more people attacked him on both sides. The Winter Solstice had to draw the sword to retreat, and his shoulders were almost pulled by them. a smash.
When these so-called medicine men were about to die, their bodies were cut open, stuffed with various secret poisons, and they were subjected to a head-dropping technique, which made them lose their self-consciousness and completely turned into marionette-like puppets. puppet.
Some of the people who were dealt with in this way were Zong'en's enemies, some who came to ask for help and accidentally offended him, and some villagers in Xianda Village, where Suqi was located, because they were unwilling to pay tribute to Zong'en and accepted his protection. Being retaliated, there will never be a shortage of containers for various refining medicines, and all kinds of sorcery that many people cannot imagine can be seen here.
The author has something to say: Long Shen: Don't be naughty.
Winter Solstice: Okay, then next time I pretend to be poisoned for a longer time and cooperate with them.
