He looked past Kui Bo and Yu Gongzi, and looked silently at the skinny and twisted figure in the distance.
"Stop, don't move!"
Uncle Kui's eyes were blazing and his spirit was shining brightly.
The tone was cold and full of warning.
Almost at the same time.
Wei Tao heard a sound that sounded like laughing and crying.
It came from the face covered by long hair.
If you look carefully, it's really like what Gan Liang heard at the summer resort, as if someone was whimpering in his ears.
Liu Qingyuan sighed quietly, "Now it seems that the content recorded in the file must be true."
Mr. Yu retracted his gaze towards the corridor and said with a faint smile, "Although I don't know what is recorded in the files of the Touring Department, I happened to hear some rumors about Gui Shufang not long ago, so I have a little understanding of him."
Having said this, he turned his head and looked at Wei Tao.
"Then, before starting the real exploration, it's best to deal with the guys who want to fish in troubled waters.
Lest these idiots become self-righteous and ruin our affairs."
Liu Qingyuan remained silent, just turning the paper umbrella gently, swirling circles of water droplets spreading around her body.
After a moment, she sighed again, "Young Master Yu's idea is good, but I don't know if you have enough strength."
"To kill him, all I need is Quebo."
Mr. Yu took a deep breath of cool air and said, "There is no need for me to take action personally."
As soon as he said this, Quebo suddenly moved.
Boom!
The ground trembled slightly.
His legs seemed to be equipped with a pair of springs, suddenly pulling forward and popping out.
The punch was like a poisonous dragon coming out of its hole, spiraling out from under the ribs.
A large curtain of rain rolled up and crashed directly towards Wei Tao.
Snap!
Wei Tao didn't even look at it.
Still looking at that skinny and twisted figure from a distance.
Only when the swirling water droplets approached, he suddenly raised his hand, formed a beak with his fingers, and pecked forward like lightning.
From the shoulders and elbows to the forearms, and then to the fingers, the blood speeds up suddenly, and the muscles naturally tighten, making crackling sounds.
Just like the black-feathered and blood-eyed crow I saw the day before yesterday, it flapped its wings and grabbed the flesh and blood that was brought to the door.
Wei Tao suddenly clicked his fingers, squeezing and tearing the air with his fingertips. In an instant, a cone-shaped cavity was formed, and it collided head-on with the whistling spiral rain curtain.
Crack!
In the side courtyard, it seemed like a big firecracker exploded.
The two figures separated as soon as they touched.
A bump, a peck, fists and fingers.
Uncle Kui's expression changed, he felt his energy and blood surge, and he was suddenly shocked.
His punch is a powerful spiral, best at breaking through defenses and penetrating and destroying the enemy's body.
At the same time, more importantly, this style is both offensive and defensive.
Even if the enemy on the opposite side is much faster and stronger than him, he can still run away as soon as he touches it without suffering too much backlash.
However, the result of the collision just now was far beyond Quebo's expectation.
Not only did he fail to break through the opponent's defense with the spiral force, he even had his own defense broken by the opponent in an instant, causing severe pain like burning in his belt and flesh.
Quebo suddenly felt great pressure.
All previous speculations about the strength of the "master here" have been overturned.
His body instantly tensed up, his energy and blood surged, and he felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
However, what makes Quebo a little strange is that the other party doesn't seem to care about his reaction at all.
He was looking into the distance from beginning to end.
The stiff figure with disheveled hair walking around in the corridor attracted all the attention.
"It's quite interesting."
Liu Qingyuan saw this moment of confrontation clearly, but he just smiled slightly and didn't care.
Mr. Yu suddenly said, "Uncle Kui, please step back."
After a pause, he cupped his fists and raised his hands, "Since you have passed the test, you are qualified to explore the secrets with us."
"I'm not interested in these things."
Wei Tao restrained his breath and his tone remained gentle.
"I just want to know whether the missing people in the gold tanning field and the skinned corpses have anything to do with the secret you are telling me."
Also, what are these strange people and the guy with disheveled hair just now?
Having said this, he turned to look at Liu Qingyuan and said, "Miss Liu, you should know these things best. Can you explain something to me?"
"This is our secret file."
Liu Qingyuan smiled lightly and said, "Do you think I will tell you?"
Wei Tao lowered his gaze and stared at a small puddle at his feet, "Are you sure you can't tell?"
She was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Originally I couldn't say anything, but now that the matter has reached this point and everyone has been involved, there is no need to keep it secret.
But I still have to remind you, are you sure you really want to know this secret?"
Wei Tao did not speak, but nodded slowly.
"Where is Mr. Yu?" she asked again.
"Since I'm following you all the way, I won't stop before the final destination."
"Well, I hope you two won't regret your choice at this time."
Mr. Yu smiled brightly, "I have lived so long, and I still don't know how to write the word regret."
Wei Tao didn't say anything, but just signaled her not to waste time.
Liu Qingyuan gently raised the paper umbrella and took a deep look at the two of them. "Maybe you two still don't know what official position Gui Shu was resigning from when he pretended to resign."
Mr. Yu said, "I remember that Gui Shufang finally resigned from his position as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites and returned home. Is there any other hidden story?"
"On the surface, he is indeed Mr. Gui, but secretly, Mr. Gui has another identity."
A trace of nostalgia flashed across her face, "Similar to the teacher's later position, he was also the Director of the Tour, Yiwei Zhongcheng."
"With this ability, he can be ranked at the forefront even in the entire department. Even when facing the elders of the sect, he still won't fall behind."
"However, I don't know why, after he made great achievements in annihilating the demon sect, he immediately resigned from office when he was about to take another promotion.
Even if you don't have the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, or the regular minister of the tour department, you still have to leave the capital and return home with your family."
"Then in the third year after Gui Zhongcheng returned to his hometown, Qizhou Jiedushi disobeyed and rebelled, and he did not know what role he played in it.
Anyway, the final outcome was that he was surrounded and suppressed by the sect, and Taishang Fengzhen of the Xuanwu Dao personally took action and beheaded him on the banks of the Luoshui River.
The relatives, together with the maids and servants, all showed their heads to the public, and almost no one in the family of eighty-seven survived."
Wei Tao's eyes flashed, and some doubts arose in his heart.
But just the next moment.
His question was answered.
Mr. Yu was the first to say in surprise, "Could it be that Supreme Master Feng Huan of Xuanwu Dao is Sun Daozi Xiyue's teacher?"
Liu Qingyuan nodded slightly, "Yes, it's just that the battle by the Luoshui River happened thirty years ago, and Sun Daozi had not yet been born."
She raised her paper umbrella slightly and quietly stared at the thin and twisted figure in the corridor.
"If I guess correctly, the reason why these maids and servants became abnormal is that someone discovered the secret left by Gui Shufang first and continued the follow-up research."
"What research?" Wei Tao asked.
"I don't know what the research is."
Liu Qingyuan smiled slightly, "I only know that it allows these ordinary people who have no power to bind chickens to kill warriors with a change of Qi and blood without any obstacles."
"If we find this secret, we can use it for ourselves.
The little girl suddenly began to look forward to what kind of improvement there would be."
Everyone was silent, each lost in thought.
Time passed little by little.
All maids and servants returned to their rooms.
Only a thin and twisted figure with long hair hanging down was left, standing there blankly, as if he had become an immobile statue.
Liu Qingyuan sighed again, "It seems that that person's research did not go well, and he did not even really find the secret left by Gui Zhongcheng."
Wei Tao suddenly remembered something, "Does Miss Liu know that there was a Qiu Yuanwai in Luoshui City who rebuilt the Gui family residence as a summer resort? He came there every summer and lived there for more than ten years.
It wasn't until the summer of the previous year that Qiu Yuanwai's family disappeared at the manor, and the place was abandoned again."
"I didn't know that this haunted house was still being renovated and moved in."
She thought thoughtfully, "But if it's Qiu, it's not a surprise. It also solves one of my doubts."
"When he was in the Tour Department, Gui Shufang had a secret subordinate with whom he had a single line of contact, whose nickname was Qiu Feng.
Later, when Gui Shu imitated his resignation, Qiu Feng disappeared first. Unexpectedly, he disappeared in the city and has been hiding in Luoshui City."
Mr. Yu interjected, "I have an impression of that Qiu Yuan, but he is a Qiu of the hills, not the Qiu of the autumn wind."
Liu Qingyuan's eyes flashed, and his expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Is there any difference between the hills of the hills and the hills of the autumn wind?"
"Let me tell you, this Qiu Yuanwai is a little too careless. He insists on using a word with the same pronunciation as his surname. Isn't he afraid that someone who is interested will smell something different?"
Mr. Yu frowned, "So, it is possible that the autumn wind that caused all this was Qiu Yuanwai now?"
"It's possible, but the person we met on the way to the gold tanning field today gave me a very strange feeling, like..."
Liu Qingyuan was halfway through speaking, but suddenly fell silent.
He turned to look at the corridor shrouded in darkness.
The long hair was disheveled and the rickety figure raised his head at this moment and took a step towards the direction of the courtyard.
In an instant, the man was already standing in front of the door.
They are only a few steps away from Mr. Yu and Mr. Kui who are closest to the door.
Bearing the brunt of the attack, Mr. Yu was caught off guard.
Then he took a step forward and joined Kuibo on the left and right, forming a two-phase attack.
His intention was very obvious, that is, he wanted to join forces with Kuibo and take down this person first before talking about anything else.
The moment Mr. Yu stepped into the battle circle.
There was a loud bang.
The ground was turbulent, and the wooden door of the side courtyard shook violently.
A pressure so intense that it seemed as if it was real came rushing in.
The man's figure flashed again, and suddenly he was in front of the two of them.
"Go away!"
His voice was low and hoarse, like a mouthful of iron sand.
A trace of anger flashed across Mr. Yu's face.
He opened his mouth to yell and curse.
But at this moment, the figure raised his foot and hit the ground with a punch.
Boom!
It was like a muffled thunder explosion.
The wind and rain suddenly broke out.
The crazy air flow pushed down the head cover.
In an instant, a feeling of extreme danger surged into Mr. Yu's heart.
The energy and blood in his body suddenly burst out, and he punched forward hard.
The fist grabs the center line, and there is a roar and explosion.
In an instant, the suppressed frantic airflow was dispersed.
Like a big gun breaking through the darkness, it slammed into the falling hammer.
Almost at the same time, Kui Bo pointed his fingers together and made a knife. The muscles of his arm vibrated and trembled, and he whizzed and slashed towards the skinny figure's neck.
But there was a hand that was completely black and raised like a ghost, blocking the path of this hand knife without knowing it.
The two fists clashed, and the palm knife and sharp claws also collided on this mountain.
Boom!
Two muffled thunders merged into one and exploded in front of the small courtyard door.
Three figures collided violently.
And it breaks apart at the touch of a touch.
Young Master Jade's cheeks flashed red.
Unable to control his body shape, he stumbled back.
On the other side, Kuibo's sleeves were torn to pieces and his legs were deep into the ground.
But he didn't take a step back.
He was nailed there forcefully and stopped in front of Mr. Yu.
Click!
At this moment, there was another explosion in my ear.
The shock made his temples sting like needles.
My scalp instantly became numb and my whole body felt cold.
Without any hesitation, the body started to move according to instinct.
Kui Bo suddenly bent his knees and arched his back, twisted his waist and turned around, and cut through the airflow with another palm knife, screaming and slashing towards the darkness beside him.
Boom!
There was another loud noise.
Quebo really couldn't imagine why such a skinny body burst out with such power.
Two consecutive collisions caused his energy and blood to scatter, his muscles to swell, and his bones to tingle.
There was a fishy-sweet taste in his throat, which indicated that he had obviously suffered internal injuries.
Click!
But it's not over yet.
There is almost no time gap.
Quebo's other temple felt a sharp pain.
In an instant, violent air flow surged in, carrying a strong smell of blood, covering half of his body.
"It's over!"
"I'm going to die here!"
Kuibo's eyes were full of despair, and his heart felt cold.
He still has the consciousness and thoughts of resistance, but the terrible thing is that he is more than capable.
In the two fights just now, the body could no longer keep up with the thoughts.
Even if he wanted to take action, his hands would not obey him for a while.
I wanted to lift my feet to retreat, but my legs are still a little sore.
A fishy wind blows in your face.
Kui Bo's eyes were about to burst with anger, but he had nothing to do.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded.
"open!"
Master Jade's fist fell from the sky, and was as white as jade, hitting the side of the pitch-black claw at the last moment.
boom!
As soon as his fists and claws touched, Mr. Yu's pupils suddenly shrank.
It felt like hitting an iron wall with a fist, and the huge force of the shock made all the joints in my body crackle.
Fortunately, this punch bought Kuibo enough time.
It allowed him to escape and avoid the tragic ending of having his head shattered by a claw.
Next, Young Master Yu and Kui Bo changed their style of play, focusing on lightness and quickness. They would never use head-on confrontation unless they had to.
Three figures once again entangled themselves in one place, fighting fiercely in the rainy night.
"Why don't you help?"
Liu Qingyuan glanced at it for a few times, then looked away, and his eyes fell on Wei Tao, who was standing motionless at the side.
"It's not necessary. They come and go. Isn't it a lively fight?"
Wei Tao shook his head slowly, his expression slightly lost in thought, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"You seem to have something on your mind, what are you thinking about?" Her eyes flashed, a little curious.
"I wonder if we are fish attracted by bait."
He smiled and said, "I don't know where the fishhook is hidden and what will happen if I bite it."
Liu Qingyuan said, "Instead of worrying about the fishhook, it is better to go directly to the angler."
"Have you already set a clear goal?" Wei Tao asked.
"It can only be regarded as a rough guess, but it doesn't matter. The hunter hiding in the dark now may not be able to bear it anymore.
Since taking action will leave traces, if the other party wants to use us as a test, they will face the consequences of being counterattacked."
Wei Tao nodded and looked towards the corridor, which had become quiet, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
"Skilled hunters often appear in the form of prey. As the Shaoqing of the Patrol Department, Miss Liu must have seen many of them, so I don't need to remind you."
"Hunter, prey?" She fell into thinking.
Suddenly there was a loud explosion.
She suddenly raised her head, swayed her white paper umbrella, and disappeared into the rain without any warning.
boom!
After another collision, the long-haired figure turned around and walked away without stopping at all.
His movements were stiff and twisted, but he was extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, he crossed the entire courtyard and stepped onto the bluestone steps in front of the main entrance.
Then, he bumped into a slowly rotating plain white paper umbrella.
In an instant, the wind roared and thunder rumbled.
The gate and the walls on both sides shattered and collapsed. Broken wood and stones flew everywhere, and together with the dark wind and rain, the two figures who were entangled and colliding were enveloped. They did not disperse until they took a dozen breaths.
Whoosh!
The plain white paper umbrella opened quietly.
In such a violent fight just now, it actually remained intact and undamaged.
Liu Qingyuan gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, lowered her head and stared at the twitching body on the ground, her delicate jade-like earlobes trembling slightly, as if she was quietly listening to something.
After a moment, she raised her head with a faint smile on her face.
"It's exactly what I expected.
Even warriors can use this secret to improve themselves, and the better the foundation and the stronger the strength, the greater the improvement they will receive."
“Just thinking about it makes me tremble with excitement.
It's no wonder that the evil demon sect thirty years ago was able to cultivate a huge number of powerful warriors in a very short period of time.
It can almost compete head-on with the encirclement and suppression forces sent by the imperial sect."
She sighed quietly and turned to look back, "I'm going to the summer manor soon, are you still coming with me?"
Mr. Yu's face was gloomy, and he glanced at Liu Qingyuan with some fear.
Then he looked away and his eyes fell on Wei Tao, who had made no movement from beginning to end.
"You can't catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den. Of course I want to go to the summer resort. I just don't know if this person will escape at the critical moment."
Quebo seemed to want to say something.
But seeing that Young Master Yu had made up his mind, he stopped speaking and just calmed down his breathing slowly.
Liu Qingyuan turned her head slightly and looked at Wei Tao as well.
"Young Master Yu is right. I am timid and don't like to join in the fun, so I won't go to the Summer Resort."
Wei Tao gently exhaled a breath of thick air.
Suddenly he raised his hand, slowly took off his raincoat, and threw them all to the ground.
The next moment, he even unbuttoned the moon-white gown and moved his body slowly.
"Afraid? I think you are very courageous."
Liu Qingyuan spoke slowly, her eyes getting brighter and brighter, like stars in the night sky, "But you are right, there is no need to go to the Summer Resort."
"Why?" Mr. Yu asked doubtfully.
"Because she can't wait any longer."
Liu Qingyuan twisted the umbrella handle and pulled out a thin sword less than two fingers wide.
"Can't wait, who can't wait?"
Mr. Yu's complexion changed slightly, and his body became inexplicably tense.
"Aren't you just a human being?"
Without warning, a hoarse, dry voice sounded from behind.
He turned around suddenly and saw an old woman with a wrinkled face and a hunched body, standing tremblingly in the darkness.
The old woman's face was pale and bloodless, like a corpse that had come to life.
"You...you are the old beggar we met on the road!"
"Young man, it's not very polite to the elderly when you talk like this."
The old woman's face was expressionless, her cloudy eyes motionless.
Mr. Yu was a little frightened by the sight, so he took action without any warning and grabbed him forward.
Bang!
The two arms, one thick and the other skinny, collided under the night.
A dull clashing sound erupted.
Kick, kick, kick!
Mr. Yu took several steps back and left a row of deep footprints.
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
I didn't expect that this skinny old woman's body contained such majestic power.
The old woman sighed again, "The sky is dead, and the sky will stand. If you are six years old, the world will be prosperous."
"When you come here, God will help me and help me complete my final plan!"
Click!
In an instant, blood spattered and a head flew high into the sky.
The old woman sighed again, "He is too old, his spirit and blood have declined, and he is no longer useful. It is better to die early and hope for the next life."
Young Master Jade's face was pale and bloodless.
He didn't see the old woman's movements clearly at all. Not far away, Kuibo was already dead, and he couldn't even make any reaction.
This speed and this fierce attack are simply despairing.
At the courtyard gate, the smile on Liu Qingyuan's face also disappeared.
What replaced it was incomparable calmness.
She hid her rapier behind her back, lowered her body slightly, and looked like she was facing a formidable enemy.
The old woman's eyes were cloudy, and she moved away from Mr. Yu, but only glanced at Liu Qingyuan, and finally fell on Wei Tao.
She laughed and said, "You have the best physique and are the most suitable for the implantation of Blood Spirit Silk.
After that, supplemented by a large amount of Blood God Pills, we may be able to recreate what Elder Gui had originally imagined."
"The murder at the gold tanning farm was your handiwork?"
Wei Tao hung the bamboo hat on a tree nearby.
Slowly move forward, getting closer step by step.
The old woman Jiejie smiled strangely, "What do you think?"
Click!
He stopped a few steps away and asked, "Are you Miss Fang's teacher?"
"The little girl was originally a young practitioner, but unfortunately she was childish and had a loose mouth.
After I take care of you, I will send her on the road together so that you can have more playmates."
When she said this, she suddenly shook her head, "But you may be an exception. If the implant is successful and there is no backlash, you may still live for a long time."
Wei Tao was noncommittal about this, "What you did just now is very similar to the incense owner of the Red Lantern Club, so what is your relationship with those guys from the Red Lantern Club?"
"The green lotus falls in the blue, and you will be reborn in the pure land..."
She lowered her eyes, "The red light Amaterasu is the sign that guides confused people to the Pure Land."
"Are you a disciple of the Qinglian Sect?"
Wei Tao took another step forward, instantly closing the distance between the two to an extremely dangerous level, "So, the Green Lotus Sect and the Red Lantern Society are indeed the same organization?"
"Originally, you could rely on your abundant energy and blood and special constitution to enjoy the careful care of me in the end."
A sinister smile escaped from the corner of the old woman's lips.
Then it got stronger and stronger, and finally burst into laughter.
"But since you are looking for death first, you can't blame me anymore."
boom!
Her body began to tremble violently.
Wrinkles on the face and body disappear and the skin becomes tight.
Her back was straight and her body was taller.
His whole body suddenly grew in size.
In an instant, he changed from being as skinny as firewood to a hideous and terrifying form with gnarled muscles and a height of over two meters.
And it continues to climb upwards.
It didn't finally stop until it reached a height of nearly two and a half meters.
The surging Qi and blood made a roaring sound, causing the muscles and tendons to beat violently.
There were even whirlwinds formed outside the body, bringing out circles of undulating ripples.
"Qinglian Demon Cult, the method of red flowers and green moon!?"
"She has already reached the point where her true energy covers her whole body and is integrated into one body. She is just one step away from starting to train her internal organs!"
"Even if your strength declines due to old age and physical weakness, you are by no means a formidable enemy that I can contend with!"
Liu Qingyuan's heart trembled, and she turned around to leave.
But outside on the stone street, he saw dozens of figures waiting in formation, blocking all roads.
Young Master Jade was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the ferocious body that looked like a demon, feeling the surging energy and blood, and was speechless.
"Are you ready?" The old woman lowered her head and looked down at Wei Tao a few steps away, her eyes cold and filled with murderous intent.
"So, you are indeed a Qinglian cultist."
Wei Tao had no expression on his face as he ripped off his moon-white gown, revealing a body that didn't look particularly strong underneath.
"It doesn't matter who I am, and I don't need you to come here to care."
She grinned, "What you really need to care about is how long you can live."
"Don't worry, I will choose a relatively long way to die for you, so that you can have some fun and survive these long, boring nights..."
The old woman, who was nearly two and a half meters tall, spoke slowly, as if something was suddenly stuffed into her mouth.
at the same time……
Her eyes were surprised and confused.
Still with a little disbelief.
The gaze changed from looking down, to looking straight forward, and finally had to raise the neck, to looking up.
He looked up blankly at the huge and ferocious body that suddenly expanded and rose rapidly.
His head was just a hair away from breaking through the corridor.
The muscles all over his body are bulging, like black and red iron ingots that have been hammered for thousands of times.
There are also ferocious claws that are not like human hands, and it feels like they can tear the body apart with just one stroke.
Waves of hot, fishy, sweet smell hit her face, greatly affecting her breathing.
Gudong!
The old woman's throat surged.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.
Suddenly, he didn't know what kind of monster he was facing.
"You have just taken office, and you are willing to sacrifice your own life to give me such a great gift for my work performance.
From this point of view, friends of the Green Lotus Sect are really reasonable and considerate."
"It's been a while since I tried my best. I hope the old lady won't let me down."
"Either beat me to death or be beaten to death by me."
Wei Tao slowly closed his eyes, and with each exhalation and inhalation, there was a faint flow of black and red air rushing out from his mouth and nose.
The heat wave generated by transporting Qi and blood surged in all directions like a tide.
Even the surrounding air became slightly hot and distorted.
boom!
He took a step forward and the ground shook.
He raised his arm as thick as a log, without any fancy moves, and slammed it down on the old woman's head.
She widened her eyes and stared at the terrifying figure intertwined with black and red, and her eyes reflected the ferocious claws that covered it.
My heart has been completely occupied by surprise and shock, and there is no room for any other emotions.
I don’t know how to divide the next two chapters today, so I combined them into one. Please subscribe, vote and support, thank you.
