[Sword Three + Big Shots] Fifth Year
Chapter 17
The secret killer is the unique dead man of the high priest of Miaojiang, but not every high priest has a dead man, and the dead man will only appear when Miao Jiang is facing a crisis.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the dead are hereditary, and most of them are women.
They live in every corner of Miaojiang on weekdays. They have keen observation and intelligence sources beyond ordinary people. Once there is a crisis in Miaojiang, they will show their identities to the high priest.
Chen Xi said something in code words before saying to Qin Ge, "Wait here."
"They want to come over?" This they, of course, refers to the people who communicated with Chen Xi in code.
Chen Xi nodded, as if thinking of something, and asked, "How did you find the Temple of the High Priest?"
The defense of the temple is the most stringent in Miaojiang. Qin Ge was able to get her out so quickly, and she just observed him carefully for a while, without any injuries. She had to wonder if the guards of the temple had become weaker. up.
Qin Ge said: "Yang Fan's pigeon. Miao Jiang has his friends, so asking for directions is not difficult."
Chen Xi said "Oh" and didn't ask any further questions. She knew that as long as Yang Fan spoke, his friends would usually save face.
She didn't say what the person who came looked like, so when the sound of slight footsteps came, Qin Ge's knife instantly entered a state of alert.
He paid attention to the movement around him, and from the corner of his eye, he paid attention to Chen Xi's expression.
Only when she moved her lips and said a secret word, and nodded to him, did he let go of the hand on the handle of the knife.
Soon, someone who communicated with Chen Xi in code words appeared.
"Finally found you, Ah Xi." It was none other than Wang Qi, "I heard from my father that someone took you from the dungeon, and I couldn't get in touch with code words. I have been looking for you all this time, It's good to see you all right now."
It could be heard that he was really relieved, Chen Xi smiled at him, "I made you worry."
Then, she turned her gaze to the people around Wang Qi.
Wang Qi didn't come alone, he came with him, and his wife, Yang Duo.
Chen Xi was about to ask, but when Yang Duo opened his lips and said a secret word, Chen Xi's expression changed drastically.
"The same to you?!"
It's also something, it's also a killer, the dead man of the high priest.
Yang Duo nodded lightly, "I am. Because the former high priest chose me as his successor, he didn't let me participate in what happened ten years ago."
"I see." Chen Xi understood.
Because of the high priest's selfishness, she didn't want Yang Duo's hands to be covered with blood, even if she had to.
Chen Xi doesn't blame the high priest, because this is her mission, her life's duty.
"This is the one who broke into the dungeon to save you, right?" Wang Qi clasped his fists at Qin Ge, "I'm Wang Qi, Ah Xi's friend."
"Qin Ge." Qin Ge nodded and said his name.
It was only then that Wang Qi noticed the red silk scarf around Qin Ge's neck, "Iron Man Qin Ge? Jiangnan generation, your name is like thunder, and seeing you today really deserves your reputation."
"I'm joking." Qin Ge said, "Brother Wang, do you know that this area belongs to Miao Jiang?"
Wang Qi was stunned for a moment before he understood what Qin Ge meant, and replied, "The scope of Mengdou Village is under the jurisdiction of Father Xiong."
Papa Xiong is one of the current five elders.
Qin Ge's question reminded Chen Xi, she glanced at Yang Duo, and said without hesitation: "Aqi, Yang Duo, I'm afraid that what happened ten years ago will happen again. Qin Ge found a corpse in a nearby village trail."
In the face of the interests of Miao Jiang, there is unconditional trust between the dead, and Chen Xi said that there is no concern about these.
Yang Duo said, "Same as I guessed."
Chen Xi asked her: "What did you guess?"
"What you eradicated back then was only a group of corpses, and the mastermind who created them is still there, and his goal is probably the entire Miaojiang." Yang Duo said, "As early as the villages were relocated in various villages, I began to suspect There is a problem, I didn’t expect it to be true.”
As she said that, she said to Qin Ge: "Hero Qin, can you take us to the place you mentioned?"
Qin Ge nodded and led the way, "Follow me."
From their conversation, Qin Ge realized that Miao Jiang was facing a big crisis now, especially when he mentioned the "corpse man" they called, Chen Xi's reaction was so violent that he even saw it through her eyes. To the depths of fear.
Intuition told him that Chen Xi's fear did not come from the corpse man, but from what they said was ten years ago.
Ten years ago, what exactly Chen Xi experienced could change her face when she talked about it.
Qin Ge's thoughts were spinning all over the place, and his feet were not slow at all.
The four of them crossed a hill, passed through a plantain grove, and arrived at the village Qin Ge mentioned.
The houses here are no different from ordinary stockades, and there is an indiscernible smell of medicine in the air. It is clearly broad daylight, but no one can be seen walking around, and it is as dead as a deserted village under the daylight.
"Go and have a look." Wang Qi led the way to the village.
They walked in the village for a while, but still saw no one.
Chen Xi opened a room, and the furnishings inside were the same as those of ordinary Miao people's homes, without any change or mess.
Qin Ge said, "I'm sure there were people there when I came."
"I'm afraid they were removed after you came." It's probably worse than she thought.
Wang Qi's voice came from outside the house: "Ah Xi, come and see what I found!"
On the open ground, there were two pots the size of a row of jars. The boiled things in the pots had been scooped out long ago, leaving only a layer of purple-blue mucus attached to the walls of the pots, and a disgusting smell wafted from time to time.
"It really is a corpse." Chen Xi said coldly.
No one is more familiar with this scene than her. The things in the pot are the same as ten years ago, causing the person who took it to slowly turn into a corpse, gradually losing their human mind, and becoming a killing tool that only knows how to obey the exorcist's orders.
There is another method that is more insane than taking it, which is to soak people with these liquids and put them in a sealed container for refining.
The more liquid the corpse absorbs before it is trained, the closer it becomes to perfection.
Chen Xi asked: "Yang Duo, you said earlier that there were villages relocated, do you remember which villages they were? I suspect they were all murdered."
"Well." Yang Duo told Chen Xi everything she knew, and said, "Chen Xi, it may be cruel to you, but I still hope that if you see corpses, don't let them live in this world again , Walking corpses, and in the end, they will be used to mutilate their own compatriots, it is better to let them be freed earlier."
Chen Xi nodded, "I understand that it is my duty to protect Miao Jiang."
Wang Qi patted Chen Xi on the shoulder and said, "I can't go with you, Ayi must be paying attention to my movements and contact me in secret."
"Well." Mentioning Long Lanyi, Chen Xi's brows showed a trace of guilt, "Go back, I will plead guilty to Ayi when the matter is over."
Wang Qigang wanted to say that it wasn't your fault, but Yang Duo tugged at his sleeves, and when she turned around, she shook her head slightly at him.
After smashing those jars, Chen Xi embarked on the journey of investigating the corpse.
She refused to persuade Qin Ge to leave, so she simply let him follow.
Wang Qi Yang Duo and Chen Xi returned to the village after they separated, but when they came back, they found that everyone's expressions were not quite right.
As soon as A Bei, who usually stayed by Wang Wei's side, saw him, he immediately came up to meet him. He had obviously been waiting here for some time, "Brother Aqi, it's not good! Your father was detained by the high priest!"
Wang Qi and Yang Duo looked at each other and exchanged their thoughts. It seems that Long Lanyi already knew that they were going to see Chen Xi.
"Don't panic, does the high priest have anything to tell you?" Wang Qi asked in a deep voice, holding his shoulders to stabilize him.
Abei nodded quickly, "The high priest asked me to tell you, if you want the elder to come back, tell her the whereabouts of Chen Xi."
"I know, you go down first."
Wang Qi walked into the tree house and stood there without saying a word, his eyes closed and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Looking at his back, Yang Duo wanted to comfort him, "Qi..."
"I'm fine." Wang Qi turned around and asked suddenly, "How many people in the temple are yours?"
Yang Duo was taken aback by the question, Wang Qi knew he was right.
"I want to rescue my father, how sure are you?" Wang Qi asked.
Yang Duo quickly recovered her due calmness, and replied without hesitation: "Ten percent." Otherwise, she wouldn't have told Chen Xi in the dungeon to save her.
It was Wang Qi's turn that he didn't have time to respond, because Yang Duo's answer was beyond his expectation.
I thought that she was chosen as the successor by the former high priest, and the high priest must have left manpower for her. I didn't expect that she was [-]% sure of saving people from the temple. Could it be that she is the real master of the temple guards?
"You don't need to guess." Yang Duo said, with a little more helplessness in his words, "The reason why the high priest chose me instead of Long Lanyi is because Long Lanyi is easy to act emotionally. What the high priest needs is Rational and irrational behavior will cause turmoil in Miaojiang, which is contrary to the duties of the high priest."
"The high priest said that if Long Lanyi does something that endangers Miao Jiang, I can replace him at any time." Yang Duo paused, and added, "Abba also knows about this."
"..." Wang Qi seemed to suddenly understand something, and was eager to get Yang Duo's confirmation, "So, your marriage is actually a way for Dad to let you get rid of Yang Mu?"
Yang Duo nodded, and said: "The temple is the safest place in Miaojiang, so there is no need to rush to rescue Abba. Confronting Long Lanyi head-on will not do us any good. Besides, she is a friend of you and Chen Xi, so it's too late to act rashly." It will make it difficult for the three of you. One thing, don't you find it strange?"
Wang Qi said, "You mean when we met Chen Xi?"
"We just came back, and Dad was taken away. Judging from the time, before we saw Chen Xi, Dad was detained by Long Lanyi. According to this calculation, that person even knows the whereabouts of Qin Daxia It's very clear, as if our every move is under the surveillance of others." Yang Duo said, "Since Long Lanyi wants to know Chen Xi's whereabouts, why not tell her."
Following the man's train of thought, she wanted to see who wanted to cover the sky in Miaojiang.
It is particularly worth mentioning that the dead are hereditary, and most of them are women.
They live in every corner of Miaojiang on weekdays. They have keen observation and intelligence sources beyond ordinary people. Once there is a crisis in Miaojiang, they will show their identities to the high priest.
