Chapter 356 With a suspect, it's time to test your acting skills
Everyone is bound to have weaknesses and flaws. Everything has two sides. Even a heartless person with a heart of stone is also a weakness for some people.
In a way, the difference between the strong and the weak lies in whether the weakness can be exploited by others.
Qin Yang thought to himself that the other party must have grasped his weakness unintentionally.
The other party knew that he would never think that there would be something deadly in the soup cooked by Patriarch Cui himself.
Of course, a more likely reason is that the other party didn't expect this at all. The other party didn't think they had the means to detect it. They were only guarding Patriarch Cui.
Sit quietly for a moment, silently feeling the bug in your heart, thinking about how long you have.
This little bug is integrated with its own vitality. To kill the bug is equivalent to cutting off your own vitality.
His Qi and blood are strong, so even if some of his heart's flesh and blood is devoured, it won't be a big deal. In addition, he has the dragon's blood magic in his body, and there are some dragon's blood elixirs in his body. Even if his heart's flesh and blood is devoured, he can recover immediately.
.
For a moment, he definitely won't die. It's easy to pretend that nothing happened, as long as he endures the heart-gnawing pain.
I just don't know how long this can last.
Moreover, since the other party did this, he must have decided something. As long as Old Ancestor Cui sees something strange in him, he will definitely understand what happened quickly. If Old Ancestor Cui doesn’t even know that the problem is with the soup, then
They tried their best, but to no avail.
It would be better to die in the hands of Patriarch Cui than to die in anyone's hands.
I can't hide it...
Sighing secretly, Qin Yang walked towards Patriarch Cui's house. Since he couldn't hide it, he might as well be prepared and tell Patriarch Cui directly to keep him calm, so as not to get it from other places when he was not mentally prepared.
If you know, then you have really fallen into a trap.
Arriving at the house of Cui Laozu, Cui Laozu was holding an ancient book, frowning and thinking hard. A faint light shone in his hand, and countless runes circulated in it. After a moment, the halo collapsed and dissipated. Cui Laozu shook his head.
He shook his head and continued to experiment again...
"Master." Qin Yang bowed his hands and bowed.
"Well, it looks like we've finished drinking the soup. How's it going? Did you gain anything?" Cui Laozu smiled and pointed to the stone bench beside him: "Sit down and talk. I'm a teacher and I don't want such etiquette.
"
"Master, I have something to report. I just hope that Master can calm down and never get angry."
"Haha, why are you being so polite today? If you have anything to do, it's okay to say it. If you still want it, it won't be difficult for me to beg another Beast King as my teacher."
"Master, agree first and then talk."
"Okay, you say."
"Master, please examine my heart chambers by yourself, and please give me some guidance. However, I hope that Master will remember not to get angry."
The smile on Patriarch Cui's face gradually faded, and he finally realized that something big must have happened since Qin Yang was so solemn today.
Putting one hand on Qin Yang's wrist, he closed his eyes and mobilized his spiritual power to follow the blood and fall into Qin Yang's heart.
When he saw the little bug that had taken root in Qin Yang's heart, Patriarch Cui's hand shook violently, his eyes suddenly opened, evil aura spewed out from his eyes, and the aura on his body was about to explode in an instant.
But Qin Yang was already prepared and turned his hand to hold Cui Patriarch's wrist.
"Master, remember this."
Old Ancestor Cui closed his eyes to block the murderous intent and evil aura in his eyes. The aura that was about to explode slowly also slowly subsided. After a long while, Old Ancestor Cui opened his eyes again, but his eyes were blood red. After a long while,
Cui Laozu's lips trembled slightly, and his words were full of despair and regret.
"Heart-eating Gu, it's the heart-eating Gu. Master... I actually forgot that the colorful golden pheasant once swallowed a heart-eating Gu. If there are eggs, they can survive for thousands of years. Qin Yang, it's
As a teacher..."
"Master, calm down. This matter has nothing to do with you. I'm here to inform you. I just don't want you to fall into a trap." Qin Yang sighed inwardly.
Patriarch Cui treated him sincerely, but he didn't expect that the person who took action didn't even reveal the reason. Everything was reasonable and the whole thing could be regarded as an accident.
But the more this happens, the more Ancestor Cui will blame himself. If one day, the person who took action can guide him a little and give Ancestor Cui a clue to vent his anger, I am afraid that Old Ancestor Cui will not care about the truth or falsehood at all, and will just hit the target.
count.
And this is also the reason why Qin Yang is unwilling to hide it from Patriarch Cui.
As long as there is a trace of distrust or suspicion in his heart, he will not let Old Ancestor Cui know immediately. But the more this happens, the more Old Ancestor Cui will naturally blame himself after knowing it.
"Qin Yang..." Cui Laozu grabbed Qin Yang's arm, his eyes were red, and his whole person seemed to have lost some sense of proportion. He had already lost a beloved disciple who was like a parent and son, and now he poured all his feelings into
For Qin Yang, now that he knew that he had killed Qin Yang with his own hands, it was a good thing that he didn't collapse immediately.
"Master, calm down. I am very sure that this is a trap. We must not mess up. If we mess up, we will fall into the trap." Qin Yang grabbed Cui Laozu's arm with his backhand and calmly reassured: "Master, you will know
Tell me everything, especially this heart-eating Gu."
"Qin Yang, I am a teacher..."
"Master, I can't die. Don't worry, I will never die. Even if it reaches the point of no return, I just need to cut off my vitality and die with this heart-eating Gu. I still have a substitute statue in my hand, but
He was saved from death, but the Heart-Eating Gu cannot be resurrected, so the situation is far from a desperate situation."
"Yes, the stand-in statue..." After hearing these words, Cui Laozu finally felt relieved, and his chaotic mind slowly calmed down.
At least, in theory, this method is feasible.
After pondering for a long time, Patriarch Cui seemed worried about his memory, fearing that he might remember it incorrectly. With a wave of his hand, dozens of bookshelves appeared in the courtyard, with everything from paper books to jade slips and gold foil to bamboo scrolls and iron volumes.
After searching for a while, he found a roll of bamboo slips. Cui Laozu spread it out and said in a deep voice.
"Heart-eating Gu is a secret passed down by Xuan Li. It is unpredictable. When the adult Gu loses its concealment, its power is no longer strong. The most powerful one is the Gu egg, which is extremely difficult to detect and impossible to guard against. As long as it is planted, it will be planted in the ventricle of the heart.
In the middle, it breaks the shell and takes root, blends with the vitality of human beings, and loses everything. Only when the energy and blood dries up, and the heart and flesh are eaten, can it mature and break away, and return to the hands of its owner.
Generally speaking, weaker monks with insufficient Qi and blood will bleed and die if the Heart-Eating Gu is born before it matures. If, like physical cultivation, the Qi and blood are strong, the time for the Heart-Eating Gu to mature will continue to be delayed and become stronger.
, until the host’s energy and blood are exhausted, it will mature and leave..."
Qin Yang's heart moved.
How do they know that I have enough energy and blood to promote it to maturity?
In recent years, I have rarely taken action personally, especially after arriving in the South China Sea. The few times I took action, I changed my appearance and no one knew it was me.
Before practicing the Wu Xian Sutra, his body refining progress was already lagging behind. Even if someone knew about it back then, his level has already reached a different level.
In addition, the practice of Wu Xian Jing is too extreme. He does not cultivate true energy, does not develop supernatural powers, and is purely physical. Unless he shows himself in close combat, few people can see how powerful his physical body is.
powerful.
There shouldn't be any problems during this time in the South China Sea. The problem must come from the time when we arrive in the southern barbarian land.
During this period of time, he was the only person who had the opportunity to come into direct contact with himself, the only person who might know about his profound physical heritage.
There is only one person other than those who can be trusted.
The first true biography of the Huangquan Demon Sect, Lu Churen.
Only on that day, when he tricked the master of Huangquan Pulse, his acting skills exploded, giving Lu Uren the opportunity to touch him. Maybe it was then that Lu Uren knew that his physical heritage was extremely profound.
And this time, it was Lu Churen’s intention to send this colorful golden pheasant.
Two days ago, Lu Churen specially sent someone to say hello and ask if the Golden Pheasant King had eaten. If it had, the master and the disciples could send another one if they liked it...
Qin Yang was a little stunned. To be honest, Lu Uren's behavior was not like that of a demon sect at all. During his time in the Demon Sect, although he had not had much contact with him, he could probably confirm the rumors within the sect.
That should be right.
Lu Churen was a kind man and behaved in a very orderly manner. When the sect master was in retreat, he would handle all matters, big or small, and he would handle them in an orderly manner.
Since the death of the leader of the Huangquan vein, there has been a lot of debate in the sect and people are uneasy. It was Lu Curen who single-handedly stabilized the situation in the Demon Sect. He treated his subordinates fairly and clearly rewarded and punished them. He also had many interactions with his superiors to appease them.
Qin Yang himself felt that in terms of his ability as a sect leader, Zhao Ronghui was really thrown out of half of the southern barbarian land by Lu Uren, and the gap was really big.
But now that I was looking at the details, I discovered that this seemed to be an accident, but there were more or less traces of Lu Churen.
Why did he do this?
Who is he?
At this moment, Qin Yang could see clearly that his strong physical foundation and abundant energy and blood were the key to this situation.
Because if he could not induce the Heart-Eating Gu to reach maturity, he would just die. The final result would be that Patriarch Cui is full of resentment and regret, but he can only get angry at himself.
But what if this Gu egg does not come from the Heart-Eating Gu that was devoured by the Colorful Golden Pheasant King, but from another Heart-Eating Gu that is still alive?
After the Gu worm matures, it breaks away and naturally goes to its mother's body.
However, cultivating the Heart-Eating Gu is Xuan Li's secret that has not been passed down. Except for some masters among Xuan Li, it is impossible for anyone else to do it.
After Patriarch Ruo Cui found out that the Gu insect had escaped, he went straight to Xuan Li.
With Patriarch Cui's temperament and the Li people's attitude towards the outside world, there is no doubt that the two will fight.
By then, people in the Huangquan Demon Sect will be harmed by the heart-eating Gu. Whenever the Huangquan Demon Sect wants to save face, they will inevitably come forward and cause friction with Xuan Li.
If this situation really happens, as long as there is someone behind the scenes to add fuel to the flames, the scene in the Southern Barbarians will turn into a melee between the major forces.
All nine branches of the Li ethnic group will definitely be involved. In this environment of conflict with the Li ethnic group, no one can survive alone.
This is the real chaos that can disrupt the entire southern barbarian land.
The previous internal fighting between the demons was just a minor disturbance. As long as the Li people did not participate, there would be no major chaos in the Southern Barbarians.
Although Qin Yang had known for a long time that there were people who did not want to stabilize the situation in the Southern Barbarians, he never understood what they were going to do.
Now I finally figured it out.
Yes, the power of the three major southern barbarian groups and Bai Shuilang on the coastline has moved towards the South China Sea.
The Jiu tribe has dispersed power and is unlikely to become a leader.
Only the Li people have been passed down from generation to generation. Even if the sects in the southern barbarian land rise and fall, there are sects being established today and sects declining tomorrow, but the Li people have always been stable.
If you really want to cause a big mess, how can it be possible without involving the Li people?
Now, he is a chess piece, the most critical chess piece, the lead to the big chaos that will follow.
"Qin Yang? Are you okay? But the Heart-Eating Gu has attacked?" Cui Patriarch said with worry on his face, pulling Qin Yang back from his thoughts.
"I'm fine." Qin Yang came back to his senses and shook his head: "Master, after the Heart-Eating Gu takes root, how long will it take for it to reach the point where it can no longer be hidden?"
"Seven days! After the heart-eating Gu took root, it devoured qi and blood every day, gradually increasing. After seven days, it will devour the heart and flesh every noon. By that time, the heart-eating pain, the fluctuation of qi and blood, and the turmoil of the mind will make it difficult to
Hide, Qin Yang, are you trying to..."
"Master, you once took refuge in Haili. Many people must know that since you were infected by the Heart-Eating Gu, which is an accident no matter how you look at it, they will definitely go to Haili for rescue. Maybe you can make Xuanli lose face and treat you.
I, I think, the other party will definitely not leave such a big loophole, right?"
"Before the Heart-Eating Gu breaks out and takes root, Xuan Li does have a way to solve it. But after it takes root, even the people in Xuan Li have no choice. Their method of resolving it is said to have been lost. Eight hundred years ago,
Once upon a time, a man from Chili was accidentally hit by the Heart-Eating Gu. Xuan Li was helpless and could only barely survive, so he let the Heart-Eating Gu escape, but..."
"You're a loser, right? There's no way to save him other than death." Qin Yang sighed, but he didn't feel panic at all.
Inexplicably, he thought of Junior Brother Zhang. If he had been infected by the heart-eating poison, he would definitely not hesitate so much. He might have laughed twice with disdain, spat on his phlegm, cursed melon rind, and done it neatly.
After wiping his neck, he lay down for a while and got up, feeling like a good man again.
But I don't dare. The stand-in statue can indeed die in place of death, but there is still a difference between this stand-in death and Zhang Zhengyi's immortal phoenix resurrection from the dead.
It's theoretically possible, but it doesn't really work. You have to go to Haili and ask for details.
The most important thing is that if someone wants to kill themselves, it is not his temper to simply solve his own life and death crisis first and give up the opportunity to grab the pigtails.
If we don't dig out the man behind him and kill him, this matter won't be over.
Moreover, the other party will definitely take precautions, and it is probably impossible for him to return to the Li clan safely.
Therefore, the most appropriate way is to pretend that there is no poison at all and let the other party think that there was an accident and failed in the first step.
Touching his chest, Qin Yang thought to himself.
Now let’s see who will come to see me at noon in seven days.
It's time to put your acting skills to the test.
ps: From the 30th to the 6th, for seven consecutive days, tens of thousands of words broke out. Here is a preview for book friends who are not aware of the event.
