Qi Kaiwu practices pure Zhengyang Kung, and the process of him taking over the task of transferring Qi for Wang Tiangang went surprisingly smoothly. This is really in line with the old saying that the authorities are confused and the beholder is clear. If Jun Buyu hadn't had an idea, I'm afraid Xu Qing would still be biting.
I gritted my teeth and never thought that such an uncle existed.
Xu Qing could finally take a breather with his uncle's help. The uncle's internal energy was strong and long-lasting and could sustain him for a long time. The most important thing was that he had time to change his duties and he could rest for a while to regain his strength.
At this moment, dusk has fallen in the Tiger Roaring Valley in the back mountain of the Dragon and Tiger Sect. Dozens of burning pine torches illuminate the entire valley. The thick black smoke forms a series of tilting and swaying smoke pillars above the burning flames.
Wandering up into the sky, there are more than ten wooden houses built in the valley. Although they have experienced the baptism of time, they are still strong and will not decay even if they live in them for decades.
There is a huge strange-shaped rock in the middle of the valley, black with ocher-yellow stripes. At first glance, it looks like a ferocious spotted-haired tiger raising its head and roaring. The Tiger Roaring Valley is named after this shaped rock.
It got its name because it is said that this rock was transformed into the tiger that guards the Heavenly Master's alchemy furnace. It echoes with another rock in the shape of a crouching dragon on Longyin Cliff in the north. The most surprising thing is that whenever the mountain wind howls, there is air flow from these two rocks.
The pores of the strange stone penetrated in and out, making bursts of sounds that resembled the howls of beasts.
The pine torch burned cracklingly, and hundreds of people gathered around the strange rock that resembled a tiger. There were Taoist priests from the Dragon and Tiger Sect holding whisks, as well as members of the Hu family in casual clothes. Everyone's eyes were focused on the rock that resembled a tiger.
The strange stone head, because there is also a person there, a Taoist priest who is tied up. His hands are tied upside down to the tiger's mouth by a very tough beef tendon rope, and his body is covered with soaked linen. At this time, he has already
His face was ashen, and big beads of sweat were flowing down his thin cheeks.
The cold-faced Zhang Zhen'e stood in front of the tiger-shaped rock, and beside him stood the Hu family father and son with confused faces. They didn't understand why Zhang Zhen'e suddenly tied a Taoist priest here, and they didn't ask any questions, just watching with cold eyes.
Let’s see what kind of tricks this sect leader is planning to play.
Zhang Zhen'e turned around and smiled and said: "I'm sorry to disturb all distinguished guests from their rest. Tiger Roaring Valley has always been the place where our sect deals with rebellion. The three souls and seven souls of the rebels killed here will be devoured by the divine tiger and will never be reincarnated.
.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Taoist priest who was tied to the tiger's mouth couldn't help shouting: "Zhang, you'd better let me go now, otherwise you will not end well when the Chinese Martial Arts people come..."
Zhang Zhen'e pointed at the shouting Taoist priest and said in a cold voice: "Shut up, you dare to talk nonsense when you are about to die. Today I will light your sky lantern in front of your allies and let the divine tiger swallow your three souls and seven souls."
, not only you, but also your family will die. This is the fate of rebelling against the sect."
The Hu family father and son looked at each other and couldn't help but frown. They now understood what mistake the tied Taoist priest had committed, but Zhang Zhene's thunderbolt method of dealing with the rebels also made them slightly moved.
When the tied Taoist priest heard that the other party wanted to kill his family, the flesh on his face twisted, tears and sweat flowed down, and the curses in his mouth turned into pleading: "Sect Master, you can't,
I beg you, let my family go..."
Zhang Zhenye smiled coldly, raised the whisk in his hand and waved it twice. Two Taoist priests with evil faces walked out from behind him. One of them was holding a small oil drum in his hand, and the other was holding a rope twisted into a rope.
Songming, the two walked to the tiger's mouth, one poured oil on the tied Taoist priest, and the other tied the soaked Songming rope to the Taoist priest's crotch.
"Light the sky lantern!" Zhang Zhenye shouted deeply, and a Taoist priest with a sinister face walked out from behind him, holding a burning torch in his hand. He rushed to the tiger's mouth and put the torch on the pine rope. Whoosh!
A line of fire spread down the rope, and in an instant the tied Taoist priest became a burning man.
The only part of the Taoist priest that was not burned was the area above his neck. The beef tendon rope that tied his hands contained a few extremely thin metal wires. Even if the tendons were burned, the person would not fall down unless his hands were removed.
Burned into coke, the oil-soaked linen cloth on the surface of the body burned fiercely, and the Taoist priest's miserable howl echoed in the valley. The people around looked at all this with expressionless faces, as if the person being burned to death in front of them was not a living person.
It's a puppet that screams.
The Taoist priest's howling gradually stopped, his body was still burning on the tiger's mouth, and the valley was filled with a faint smell of burnt smell, which dispersed and gathered again when blown by the wind. Lighting a sky lantern was a cruel punishment, Zhang Zhene said
The reason why he chose to bring the rebellious Taoist priest to Huxiao Valley for execution was very simple. In addition to intimidating the disciples of the sect, he also wanted to express his position to the Hu family.
A person who is lit by a sky lantern can burn for a long time, and the fire will not weaken and extinguish until all the fat in the human body is burned. Zhang Zhen'e turned around and slapped the Hu family's father and son, and said in a deep voice: "Unfortunately for the sect, except for this kind of
His rebellious behavior made Sect Leader Hu laugh."
Hu Shuo's face remained as usual, he bowed his hands and returned the salute and said: "Sect Master Zhang, you are polite. As the saying goes, there is no way to avoid dead branches on a big tree. It is also a blessing for the sect to deal with the hidden dangers as soon as possible." He said it nicely.
, but secretly scolded the cunning old cow several times in his heart. If something happened, he could stay out of it and put all the blame on the dead person.
Zhang Zhen'e seemed to understand Hu Shuo's concerns and said with a smile: "Sect Master Hu, you can rest easy except for your rebellion. Just relax and live here. I will naturally handle the outside matters."
Hu Shuo narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Guizong has rebelled. I think now the Chinese martial arts know about our settlement in Guizong. I believe it won't be long before they come to the door with great fanfare and want people. I dare you to prepare."
How to deal with it?”
Zhang Zhene smiled faintly and said: "Zhang has his own way of dealing with this, but Hu Zong mainly promises me one thing. As long as you do it, you can sit back and relax."
Seeing his confident look, Hu Shuo couldn't help but feel a little curious, and said with a cautious face: "I don't know what it is? Please explain it clearly."
Zhang Zhen'e raised his hand to dust the dust and pointed it towards the mouth of the valley and said: "Actually, it's simple. As long as Sect Master Hu restrains the clan members not to leave the valley without authorization, I can guarantee that outsiders will not be able to find this place. Once someone leaves the valley without authorization, they will bear the consequences.
Don't blame me for not taking good care of you."
Hu Shuo pondered for a moment, nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I agree." People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and the powerful Hu clan had to temporarily obey Zhang Zhen'e's arrangements in order to hide their whereabouts.
