When they reached the corner, Tieniu and the man put down the cage and lifted the black cloth. Inside were all the white and tender Nascent Souls piled together. There were so many babies crowded together but not one of them cried. It was obvious that they were all dead.
It's a dead baby.
Hum! From time to time, there were wild birds in the mountains making shrill and strange calls. The man looked around and said, "Brother Tieniu, let's bury it quickly. Why do I feel so scared?"
Tieniu sneered and said: "You have to deal with ghosts all day long, what else do you have to be afraid of? Let's just leave first and let me handle it."
Upon hearing this, the man secretly exclaimed: "That's very good!"
"Go away, go away." Tieniu urged impatiently.
When the man came to the corner, Tieniu looked around cautiously, then quietly carried the cage and ran towards the mountain quickly.
Caihua and I quickly touched the two of them, and I made a gesture to indicate the division of labor and cooperation.
Caihua rushed towards the timid pole to help the bastard, while I followed Tieniu. I wanted to see if this former brother still had a conscience. If he also became a scum, I would show no mercy.
Take his life away.
This is also the reason why I didn't let Caihua deal with Tieniu. If it were him, Tieniu would be chopped into pieces with just one knife, without even a chance to explain.
Panting heavily, Tieniu walked to the entrance of a dark cave, looked back, and quickly got in.
I followed quietly. In the darkness, Tieniu carefully picked up each child and laid them flat on the thatch. There were many such children in the cave, but without exception, every child had a pale face.
Dead baby.
"You're such a thief, you're so ruthless. It's a waste that I considered you my brother in the past."
I couldn't stand it any longer, so I suddenly got mad and struck Tien Niu's neck with my bare hands.
When Tieniu heard the news, he did not fight back, but turned his head and said in surprise: "Is it brother Qin Jian?"
My palm stopped in front of his face, and I sneered: "Do you still have the nerve to call me brother? You are a gangster, what about loyalty first, what about the nine commandments, it's all fucking bullshit, a bunch of scum.
"
"This, this is what you did?" I pointed at the dead baby on the ground and said angrily.
Tieniu's face was extremely ugly. He made a gesture and whispered: "Brother Qin, calm down and listen to my explanation. I stole these children."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I am also baffled that the Gangzi Gang has become what it is now. Ever since you and Brother Caihua left Jiangdong, Hachiko seems to have changed. The evil sect and eunuchs are all together, and these are all Hachiko.
This old man is crazy, completely crazy." Tieniu said in a painful voice with helplessness on his face.
"Hachi was not like this before. He has always been indifferent to the world. How could he be like this..." When Tieniu said this, he was so timid that he shed tears.
"Let's not talk about Hachigong. Are you not using cunning means to help the tyrants do evil?" I sneered.
Tieniu took a step back and said dejectedly: "Qin Jian, I, Tieniu, have a liver and gallbladder, how could I do such a despicable thing? I have never participated in this act. I have spent so much effort to save these children."
"Rescued?" I frowned.
Tieniu wiped away his tears and said: "These children will be bathed every day, and then handed over to Hachiko to absorb the vitality using the ghost sect's secret method. Then, after they become disabled, the surviving bodies will be left to refine the little ghosts."
"And every time I bathe the children, I will take the opportunity to seal the children's energy channels and create the illusion that they are dead." Tie Niu said.
Having said this, he carefully picked up a child, and gently rubbed the back of the child's head with his rough hands.
Slowly, the child opened his eyes and screamed vividly.
"Good Tieniu, you really have a skill. Hurry up and seal the child's energy channels so that no one will find out." I immediately understood what was going on, and I felt relieved and said happily.
After Tieniu sealed the child's energy veins, he sighed and said: "Once the child dies, he loses his vitality and can no longer be poisoned by the ghosts in the jar. They will throw these children away. However, I would rather they all die."
It's better than being sucked out of vitality and turned into a bloodthirsty brat."
"How many children are left, and can you find a way to get them out?" I asked.
"There are about four hundred left."
Then, Tieniu said again: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to rescue me. Hachigong doesn't trust me very much now. He has some suspicions that I am doing something secretly. The guy who followed me just now is named Liu Ajiu, and Hachigong specifically
The guys sent here to monitor me."
"Don't worry, that Liu Ajiu has already met the King of Hell by now." I said.
"Brother Qin, you must find a way to take these children away."
"When does Hachiko usually do his rituals?" I asked.
Tie Niu said: "The practice starts at midnight every night and ends at the end of the Yin hour. Once the evil method of the ghost sect he is practicing now is completed, he will be in trouble by then."
"How many brothers in our Gangzi Gang share your heart?" I asked.
Tieniu frowned and said: "Most of the brothers are still dissatisfied, but they dare to be angry and dare not speak out. Everyone says that Hachigong has changed. I suspect that it was Elder Liao who did this. This person is not Hachigong at all."
Tieniu's words set off alarm bells in my heart. This possibility is indeed possible. Eight Gong has been in a semi-disabled state since he arrived at Purple Mountain a hundred years ago. Elder Liao's Taoism is profound and he has always been gloomy and hidden. If this villain supports
It's very possible that he's a fake Hachiko.
"Hachigong has always been mediocre, and he shouldn't have suddenly become so extreme. I have been with him for more than ten years, and I know him well. Ever since the man named Liao brought evil people and eunuchs, the good pole gang has become
With this, Lao Qin, what do you think?"
I nodded and said: "Yes, this series of things is quite strange. Whether Hachiko is real or fake, we will naturally find out when we draw up the Liao one."
"The most important thing right now is how many reliable brothers we have in the Gangzi Gang. If you can convince them to cooperate with me inside and outside, I can conclude that this mountain is the end of Elder Liao and this gang of thieves."
"Old Qin, let me give this a try. After all, I am not sure about many people. I will make an appointment with you for a code later. By the way, these children can only be sealed for twelve hours at most. Otherwise, if the Qi veins are blocked for a long time, they will die even if they are not alive.
You idiot, I can't think of a way to take them away now, everything depends on you."
"Don't worry, go ahead and wait for your good news."
After Tieniu left, Caihua joined me and said, "It's done, I'll kill that scum with one knife."
After I told Caihua what Tie Niu said, Caihua frowned and thought for a while: "Brother Qin, if this is the case, it is really possible, but whether it is true or not, we have to find out the prototype of Hachigong."
"Tie Niu told me about the Ghost Sect, have you heard of it?" I said.
Caihua has always been very knowledgeable about Xuanmen, and now he is wise. I thought this guy knew about it, but who knew he shook his head and said: "Ghost Sect, I have never heard of it. There are evil sects, animal sects, and people cultivate animals."
Ghost, how can anyone cultivate a ghost body? It's not easy to do that. If you wipe your neck with a knife, wouldn't you become a ghost?"
"You are wrong. A human body has the benefits of a human body, and a ghost body has the benefits of a ghost body. Let's imagine that if a person cultivates a ghost body, then he can use his human body in the human world during the day and is not afraid of the sun, but at night he looks like a ghost.
It comes and goes without a trace, and there is no obstacle to entering the underworld. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" I thought in a strange way.
You must know that it is extremely inconvenient for me to walk in the underworld as a human being, especially now that the underworld is going to war, I can't move at all.
"This is indeed a bit confusing. Human and ghost bodies can be freely transformed. Except for my junior sister's spirit body, even if an ordinary yin man goes to the yin, his physical body will remain in the yang world. Whether it is the physical body or the soul body, it is easy to damage either one.
Sudden death, if you can really achieve this level of cultivation, it would be a miracle." Caihua touched her chin and thought for a while.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that this formation looks familiar." I shook my head and thought to myself.
Caihua thought for a moment, looked at the time and said, "Don't worry about it now, prepare to do it whenever you want."
I said: "Zi Shi, we must destroy the thieves tonight, otherwise we won't be able to save any of those children."
"Hey, I can only hope that Tieniu can help, otherwise it will be a bit of a stretch for just the two of us." Caihua sighed.
After resting for a while in the cave, Caihua and I became nervous as the hour approached.
When we got out of the cave, the formation outside had been set up, and more than a hundred children were sealed in jars. Hachiko changed into a robe with black ghost heads embroidered on it and sat on the altar.
The guards in royal robes, the eunuchs and Elder Liao and other scumbags were waiting in full formation.
Seeing the child in agony and screaming in the mud altar, Caihua and I were both heartbroken and filled with hatred.
"Ouch!" Hachiko on the altar picked up the ashes from the incense altar with his fingers and scattered them, causing the surrounding braziers to burn instantly.
Under the blazing fire, Hachigong looked up at the moon in the sky and sneered. His hands rounded and closed at his dantian. He chanted a mantra quickly in his mouth and made a sudden sound.
"Jie Jie!"
The skull on the altar opened its mouth and let out a sinister smile. The upper and lower rows of jaw bones collided to make a sharp and ear-piercing sound, which made people's hair stand on end.
"Open the altar!"
Elder Liao took a step forward, raised the flag in his hand, and shouted.
Suddenly, there was a dark wind all around. The braziers and flags were fluttering in the howling wind. The haystacks were blown by the wind and poked into our eyes, which made Caihua and I unable to open our eyes.
The sky suddenly seemed to be several times brighter. The moonlight actually condensed into a beam of light and shone on the skull. The skull stopped laughing strangely and started to spin rapidly, getting bigger and bigger. In the end, it was as big as a bucket wheel.
Extremely ferocious.
The babies in the jar cried instantly, and streams of pure white vitality were sucked into the skull from their heavenly spirits.
