At the end of the queue, Shen Qingqing took the empty porcelain bottle handed over by the handsome male ghost, and smiled. She had been raising poisonous insects for several months, but she didn't expect that it would work at this time, and her efforts would not be in vain.
She put the porcelain bottle back into the cloth bag and pointed to the depths of the mountain forest, "Let's continue with the arrangement. The more shocking the effect, the better."
The male ghost nodded, took the long snake corpse from Lazy Ball, and disappeared into the forest.
The debate inside the cave continues.
"These are the bugs!" The old white-haired Taoist pointed at the cracks in the rocks crawling with bugs and said emotionally: "I saw with my own eyes two fellow disciples who were poisoned and bitten to death by these bugs. Their whole bodies were covered with bloody holes. It was simply
inhuman!"
When everyone heard this, they quickly retreated in panic. If they hadn't remembered that they still had a mission, they would have run outside the cave.
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Xiuyuan. He panicked in front of the irrefutable evidence. He shook his hands for a long time and couldn't think of a response strategy.
At this time, Taoist Master Tongzhen, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke, "These bugs are obviously small bugs raised by the boys under me to feed the chickens. They are not poisonous at all. How can they poison people?"
"If you say it's not poisonous, then it's not poisonous? Who would believe it?" A Taoist priest retorted.
"If you don't believe it, I can go ahead and give it a try myself."
Chen Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he even grabbed his sleeve and winked wildly.
Taoist Master Tongzhen smiled calmly and gestured to him: "It's not poisonous."
Not poisonous?
Chen Xiuyuan relaxed his hand, calmed down and observed carefully, and sure enough he found that the bugs in the hole were all drug-free.
There's help now!
Chen Xiuyuan suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and pretended to pat him on the shoulder, "These people are really difficult to deal with. It's troublesome for them."
"Master, you are welcome. It is also our responsibility to protect the Chen family."
Taoist Master Tongzhen responded calmly, walked quickly to the corner, rolled up his sleeves, and without hesitation stretched half of his arm into the pile of insects.
Everyone was so nervous that they didn't dare to blink. They watched helplessly as the tiny insects, as dense as a swarm of ants, crawled up their arms along their fingers and circled back and forth on the exposed skin.
When the entire arm was covered with insects, Taoist Master Tongzhen was still standing in the firelight unharmed.
Chen Xiuyuan laughed proudly, "Do you see clearly? This is what you call a poisonous insect? Is it really poisonous?"
The old white-haired Taoist had a sullen face and said nothing, but the people began to waver.
"Is it really a mistake?"
"The facts are before our eyes, can there still be lies?"
“So we really wronged good people?”
A series of questions made people panic. At this moment, a clear female voice sounded from the crowd: "I'm afraid it's a little early to talk about this now."
A small stone popped out along with the sound and hit the insect pile accurately.
The bugs were frightened and quickly dispersed, revealing a black beetle that was four or five times larger than the surrounding bugs.
"Wow!" Taoist Master Tongzhen shouted, quickly retracted his arms and ran into the crowd.
But where could the long-legged one outrun the flying one? The black beetle swished into his nostrils like a streak of light.
"Ah..." The shrill scream stopped as soon as it started.
Taoist Master Tongzhen suddenly fell into the charred ashes, his eyes widened, two lines of black blood gurgling from his nostrils, and he lost his breath in an instant.
After a moment, the poisonous insect crawled out of his nostril slowly.
After witnessing such a bloody and horrific scene, the accompanying people could no longer maintain their rationality and rushed out of the cave screaming.
Then the mountains and forests echoed with their shouts and howls: "Abolish the Chen family and support justice!"
The sound was loud and loud, like thunder.
Chen Xiuyuan staggered and managed to hold on to the stone wall without falling down.
Very upset.
He couldn't understand why the poisonous insects that had been burned to death still appeared.
Is this a deliberate frame-up? But the Chen family is the only one in the world who can raise this kind of insect. Others cannot raise it, let alone breed it!
He inhaled repeatedly, forcing himself to calm down. It didn't matter if the bug was exposed, he still had the biggest trump card.
Chen Xiuyuan raised his head and looked at Qi Sheng, who was hiding behind the crowd, with burning eyes, "Your Majesty, those poisonous black insects were not raised by us. Someone put them in deliberately to frame us!"
The old white-haired Taoist asked in a deep voice: "Young thief of the Chen family, now that you have all the witnesses and material evidence, do you still want to continue to quibble?"
Chen Xiuyuan did not answer, but stared at Qi Sheng with his eyes fixed on him, and said in a more serious tone: "Your Majesty!"
The two looked at each other, and the war spread silently.
In the end, Qi Sheng compromised. He brushed off the burnt ash on his sleeves and said expressionlessly: "Continue to investigate, a bug can't explain the problem."
This is already obvious favoritism.
Some Taoist priests were so angry that they wanted to curse, but remembering Shen Qingqing's words, they endured it.
"You can continue to investigate. After all, the Chen family has committed more than one injustice. However, we hope that next time we will find some evidence, and the prince will not say such biased words as 'a bug cannot explain the problem'."
The white-haired old man mocked him with a smile.
Qi Sheng was angry, but he had to pretend to be calm and calm, and said with a smile: "A bug is indeed not evidence. If other evidence is found later, I will deal with it impartially."
When he finished speaking, he gave Chen Xiuyuan a look and said, "Lead the way."
The group of people walked around the cave and continued walking forward, and soon came to the place where they fought against the giant beast.
The splattered blood, stumps, and pieces of flesh on the ground had all been cleaned up, but the broken oak trees and shrubs couldn't be dealt with, so they were simply thrown on the spot.
Chen Xiuyuan was about to follow his original plan and put the blame on the Taoist priest. Before he could open his mouth, he glanced hastily and suddenly caught a glimpse of the shriveled human skin hanging on the bushes. His legs went weak and he knelt down.
.
Chen Xiuyuan was not the only one to discover human skin.
The Taoist priests and common people in the front row also noticed the foreign object in the bushes that was illuminated by the sun, and asked in surprise: "What is that?"
Qi Sheng's face suddenly darkened, and just as he was about to order his followers to deal with the missing piece of human skin, he opened his mouth, and a wind carrying a foul smell passed over his head.
Before he could realize what was going on, a cylindrical, greasy, and heavy object fell into his arms.
When I looked down, I saw that it was a snake tail as thick as an adult's thigh, with purple scales shining brightly!
Qi Sheng was so horrified that he threw away the things in his hands and ran to the side. Just after taking two steps, there was a sudden sound above his head, and the remaining half of his body hanging on the treetop also fell down, and happened to hit his head.
.
"Boom!"
Even the man and the snake were smashed into the soil, with only one arm left to claw outside.
Shen Qingqing, who was hiding in the crowd, laughed out loud, "You deserve what you deserve!"
Meng Yuan laughed with her. After laughing, he scratched the palm of her hand and said, "Just wait, I'll get the human skin."
Qi Sheng's guards were busy moving snake bodies to save people, and had no time to care about human skins.
The Chen family took advantage of the chaos and sneaked towards the bushes. When he was about to touch it, a strong wind suddenly passed by his ears. When he came to his senses, the human skin had fallen into the hands of a rough-looking middle-aged man. This chapter has been completed!
