A pile of firewood had been chopped and the deep pit had just been dug. A man who came with Chao Shenghuai ran over and smiled at everyone: "Brothers and sisters, we can continue here. Brother Chao, please come over.
I have something to tell you." He pointed at the back of the mountain.
Everyone looked at each other, some looked unhappy, but it all passed.
Just someone yelled softly on the way, "Why are you here gesticulating on the strength of your own grandfather?"
There were also some people who murmured and echoed a few words, but they were all unhappy with Chao Shenghuai's behavior.
On the other hand, the senior brother who led the team sighed, "Don't be nagging, I'm kind enough to help, but maybe I'm a bit too arrogant."
After these people reached the back of the mountain, the two people by the pit looked at each other, quickly took action, picked up the black jade sculpture placed on the ground, and ran away.
The black jade sculpture is a relatively common type of large birds, and it is also the largest giant bird in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. In other words, it is the cheapest one on the market, but its value is tens of millions.
The two of them didn't run too far. They carried the black jade sculptures away and hid them in a nearby mountain col. They ran back and forth and quickly hid five of them.
When he returned to the pit, he quickly threw the pile of dry firewood into the pit, and then threw the dead birds into the pit.
After doing this, he threw the lit torch into the pit, lit the torch continuously, and threw it in continuously. The pit soon burst into flames.
Seeing the smoke rising here, Chao Shenghuai's blabbering ended. A group of people came back. They went to the edge of the pit to take a look, and saw that the carcasses of birds piled up in the burning flames were being burned. At first, there was a smell of barbecue in the air.
The aroma, followed by the smell of burning, made everyone stay away from the pit.
It was getting dark, and the orange-red fire slowly extinguished in the deep pit. The charcoal fire in the pit flickered on and off, and a group of people began to backfill the pit with the accumulated soil dug out from the side.
After the matter was over, everyone went back. Chao Shenghuai took the two of them and parted ways with the disciples from Linghua Valley, saying they were going to Vientiane City.
However, the three of them did not go far. After hiding somewhere for a while, Chao Shenghuai said to the two junior brothers in the darkness: "Take out the five corpses, throw them farther away, and throw them in different directions."
The first junior brother said strangely: "Senior brother, what are we doing!"
The other person is also wondering, why are you hiding this corpse? What is the use of dead things?
How could Chao Shenghuai tell them the truth? If he told them, he would not scare them to death. The fewer people who knew the truth, the better. He would just tell them to shut up and let them do as they were told.
The two of them had no choice but to obey.
The two of them went to carry out the execution, and Chao Shenghuai also ran away, returned to the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, and went directly to Juling Mountain to meet an accomplice whom he had arranged to meet. He was also a disciple from Juling Mountain, named Chen Ping, who had already arrived one step ahead.
Waiting for him.
As soon as they met, Chao Shenghuai asked: "Are you one of the people on duty later today?"
"Yes, didn't Senior Brother ask?" Chen Ping was surprised.
Chao Shenghuai looked around furtively and grabbed five 'finger bells' from his sleeves. They looked like rings, but the rings were inlaid with small bells, and the bells had horizontal tongues inserted to prevent them from making any sound.
It's something. Pull out the tongue and shake the finger bell to make a tinkling sound.
The sound is not loud, but the sound is very penetrating.
This thing is usually worn on the hand like a ring. It is used to control the birds. In which direction the bell rings, the birds will fly in that direction.
The material of the finger bell is very tough, comparable to the material of a fine sword, and is not easily damaged. Each one is made to accompany a bird for its entire life.
Fingerbells all look the same, but there are no bells in the world that can produce exactly the same sound. There will always be subtle differences in the sound, even if they are made by the same craftsman. And after each fingerbell is made, it will have a fixed sound.
As long as this bird has no accidents, it will not be replaced by other birds. It will be domesticated with this bird from childhood to adulthood, so that it can get used to the ringtone. With the company for many years, the ringtone will be imprinted deep in the memory of the bird.
, domesticate the subconscious reaction of the bird, and control it like an arm.
When the giant bird of the Gatekeeper of All Beasts is sold, the finger bell is sold as a gift, so it is convenient for customers to buy and control it.
After receiving five finger bells, Chen Ping was a little surprised, "Brother, what does this mean?"
Chao Shenghuai put his arm around him and whispered in his ear, "When you are on duty tonight, replace the five black jade finger bells from the eagle's nest, and use these five plums to replace the peach bells..."
After hearing what he understood, Chen Ping was horrified and shocked, "This... senior brother, this is not okay. The birds in the eagle's nest are released early every morning. If they can't control the five black jade eagles, they will be carefully investigated. Once found,
There is something wrong with these five finger bells. Junior brother, I was on duty that night and cannot be blamed for it. No, no, senior brother, it really can’t be done."
Chao Shenghuai said in a low voice and sternly: "Will I still harm you? If I harm you, if I find out about you, you can call me out. Will I ask for trouble? Don't worry, you don't have to wait until early tomorrow morning.
You will find that this matter cannot be investigated, and I guarantee you will be fine..."
After some persuasion, threats and inducements, the two finally separated.
Looking back, Chao Shenghuai met a Julingshan disciple named Gao Lan in another mountain forest.
When they met, a small porcelain bottle was put into the other person's hand, and they also put their arms around each other and whispered for a while.
Gao Lan was frightened after hearing this, "Senior brother, what is this? Could it be that it's you over there at Linghua Valley today..."
"Fart, what are you thinking? Can I do that kind of thing?" Chao Shenghuai feigned anger, and then comforted him in a good voice: "Don't worry, this is not poison. You will definitely not poison anything if you do what I say."
Gao Lan refused repeatedly, "No, no, senior brother, this is absolutely not possible, I will never do such a thing!"
"Are you kidding me..." Chao Shenghuai was angry.
In the end, the two separated and Gao Lan touched the small porcelain bottle hidden in his waist from time to time, feeling panic in his heart...
The bright moon shines all over the vast earth.
In the courtyard, Niu Youdao stood alone with his sword and pestle, his eyes closed and deserted, and his middle finger on the hilt of the sword kept tapping lightly.
Not long after a golden wing escaped into the courtyard, Yuan Gang walked from the shadows into the moonlight and walked to Niu Youdao, "Master Dao, I have repeatedly confirmed that the manpower on Wuliang Mountain is ready at the preset location.
Just wait here."
Niu Youdao: "Then just wait, success or failure will be tonight."
Yuan Gang: "Can that guy do it? There is only one chance for this kind of thing. Once you fail, you will not have another chance in the future, and it will cause subsequent trouble. It is really a bit risky."
"Adventure?" Niu Youdao snorted coldly, without opening his eyes, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter if it's windy or rainy, we will take action when it's time to take action. It's just adding a few barren hills among the green mountains outside the mountains. It won't end until the end."
I don’t know who is buried yet, just wait.”
Yuan Gang raised his head and looked at the moon.
…
Under the bright moon in the sky, there is a bare rocky cliff with no grass growing on it. There are many caves dug into the mountain wall.
This place is the eagle's nest of Juling Mountain, and there is a huge bird in each cave.
Different from the untamed ones in cages in Linghua Valley, the ones here are all tamed, obey the rules, listen to greetings, and do not need to be imprisoned.
There are passages for people to enter and exit behind each cave. There are passages up and down the entire mountain for those in charge of this place to enter and exit to perform their duties.
In a cave on the mountain, a moon butterfly flew around three times at the entrance of the cave.
In the woods at the foot of the mountain, the same signal quickly appeared.
Not long after, Chao Shenghuai showed up at Juling Mountain. He passed by again, said hello to the guarding disciples at the foot of the mountain, crossed his arms warmly and said a few words, then declined to leave because he had something to do.
When I walked to a remote place, a paper ball fell out of my sleeve and fell into my palm. I quickly opened it and looked at it. There were five finger bells wrapped in the paper ball. I clenched it tightly in my palm and walked away quickly.
Arriving at a pavilion on the top of a mountain, he looked at the Juling Mountain in front of him under the moonlight. Chao Shenghuai sat down, carried a bottle of wine with him, and drank slowly to each other's lips. The moon butterfly was wandering outside the pavilion, also facing the Juling Mountain.
Send a signal over there.
In the pavilion, he seemed to be drinking to drown his sorrows, and indeed he was drinking to drown his sorrows.
More than 20 large birds, each with different prices, estimated to be worth 300 million gold coins, all died in his hands.
He knew very well what it would mean once the matter was exposed, it would be a death penalty, and his grandfather would not be able to save his life, and might even kill him himself.
But he knew better what he had encountered. It was like encountering a devil. He followed the temptations without knowing it. When he wanted to turn around, he found that he had fallen into a huge whirlpool and could not get out.
The only thing that can be done now is to let Niu Youdao leave quickly. Just as Niu Youdao said, after the incident is over, we should also seize Niu Youdao's fatal handle, so that he can be safe.
For him, it was not difficult to decide whether the lives of those twenty large birds or his own life were more important.
…
In the dungeon, Shao Sansheng came with a food box, squatted outside the fence, took the food box apart layer by layer, stuffed it into the opening under the cage, and said to Shao Pingbo, who was standing with his back facing the oil lamp, "
Sir, please have some."
Shao Pingbo turned around and walked over, tilted his head to look at the monk sitting cross-legged at the end of the corridor, approached the fence, and asked in a low voice: "Can you contact the outside?"
Shao Sansheng replied in a low voice: "I am only allowed to go out to get food or add clothes, bedding and other supplies for the eldest son. Two monks followed me and I was unable to contact the outside world. However, when your Excellency asked Mr. Zhong about the situation, he did ask one thing.
So we know that the eldest young master has assassinated Niu Youdao because when people from Dachan Mountain went to investigate the situation in Diemeng Realm, they overheard the conversations of the disciples of Wanshou Sect in Wanxiang City."
"I heard? Humph, those people from Wanshou Sect must be people deliberately arranged by Niu Youdao..." Shao Pingbo paused when he said this, his eyes flickered and said: "According to Wanshou Sect's consistent style, Wanshou Sect's people
How could anyone get involved in such a thing? According to the news sent back by Lu Shengzhong, what is the name of the disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect who was used?"
Shao Sansheng thought for a moment and said: "Chao Shenghuai is the grandson of Chao Jing, the elder of Wanshou Sect!"
"The elder's grandson... is not good!" Shao Pingbo's face darkened, "This person either didn't make a move, or he missed the move. If he missed it, Tianyu Sect didn't mention that Niu Youdao was in Wanshou Sect and there was no accountability.
Judging from the fact that the people from the Wanshou Sect collaborated with Niu Youdao to leak the news to Dachanshan, Chao Shenghuai has probably fallen into Niu Youdao's control. Having this person's background as an insider inside the Wanshou Sect is not good for me!
"
The voice suddenly became louder, "Go and ask Elder Zhong to come here immediately. I have something important to tell you."
The Dazenshan monk guarding one end of the corridor in the prison was alerted, stood up, and walked over.
Shao Sansheng looked back and reminded in a low voice: "Master, there is no way to explain the cause and effect of this incident to Dachan Mountain!"
