Chapter 7 Offense and Defense are easy
The poisonous smoke trap that successfully tricked middle-aged people was discovered by Fu Qingzhou before.
Of course, he was extremely careful not to trigger it. He just used the wire to carefully open the lock. After finding that there was nothing inside, he closed it again.
Just now he fastened the lock again and pretended to have been messing around here for a long time to reduce the middle-aged man's vigilance.
A mechanism like this is very sensitive, and it is impossible for people to pry and smash it here for a long time without responding.
Therefore, middle-aged people naturally think that this is just an ordinary box.
The sharp knife entered his ribs, and the middle-aged man's body twitched in pain, and he looked up and opened his mouth. But in the next moment, he was shocked to find that the flow of toxins in his body was slowing down!
"Knife, knife..."
He said with difficulty: "There is an antidote on the knife?!"
"Is this the antidote?" Fu Qingzhou chuckled: "I don't know. It's hidden in the kitchen, placed together with salt and sugar. I don't think your senior sister would put the poison there? I think it's to prevent herself from having too much contact with poisons every day and use it to dissolve it. of toxins in the body.”
"So I got some and put it on the knife, thinking that it would help relieve your pain."
The sharp knife stirred gently inside his body. The middle-aged man was in agony and blood gushed out of his mouth. All the questions he originally wanted to ask were blocked. in the throat.
"I know, you really want to know why I did this."
Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Of course because you are the murderer of my senior sister."
The middle-aged man's pupils shrank sharply, and he held the edge of the bed with both hands, shaking constantly: "What, what..."
"Don't even think about insulting my IQ." Fu Qingzhou tutted lightly: "Wandu Mountain has a close relationship with the Dayan Imperial Court, and the murder of the owner of this house is related to Wandu Mountain. If someone really wants to come from the mountain, they should first go to the Yamen, After getting the file, check the body first and then come to visit the house, let alone come in the middle of the night when the lights are dim. It should be when the sun is shining and the light is bright, so that it is easier to investigate the case."
"And the body is at noon. I just found out that you are here in the evening - Wandu Mountain is not in Lingxiang Town. Even flying pigeons to send messages will take time. Your sect knows about this, agrees on the agenda, selects and sends people, and then comes here from the mountain. , I don’t believe that the action can be so fast.”
“I think you are the guy who didn’t have time to find something after killing someone, so you came to the door in the middle of the night to explore again.”< br>
"What you want to do must be very important, so you didn't shut up immediately after meeting me. You were worried that if I died here, something new would happen, so you simply thought of blaming the murderer on me and moved to another place. Kill me, but since I seem to be really good at finding things, you want to save my life first, right?”
The middle-aged man’s breathing sounded like a broken bellows, and his whole body was shaking: "Yes...yes..."
"Yeah."
Fu Qingzhou nodded and took out the short knife.
The middle-aged man groaned and fell to the ground, clutching his wound. His clothes were wet with cold sweat like rain all over his body.
"There is no antidote to suppress your poison now, and the wound is still bleeding." Fu Qingzhou smiled and said: "You'd better be honest, otherwise I'm afraid you won't live long."
" Don’t even think about messing around, otherwise the next knife will stab you in the neck.”
The smoker's laughter rang in his ears, and he kept scolding him for being cruel, but his tone was more praising.
After the sharp knife was separated from the body, blue spots began to appear on the middle-aged man's face. He stiffly looked up at Fu Qingzhou: "You, what else do you want to know..."
< br>"Who are you?"
Fu Qingzhou said coldly: "Also, what are you looking for? What is your relationship with Ten Thousand Du Mountain? Is there any way to help me enter Ten Thousand Du Mountain?"
"I..."
The middle-aged man murmured painfully: "I am, indeed, a disciple of Ten Thousand Poison Mountains. My name is, Meng, Meng Zhugang."
"I, I, I'm looking for a... key. "
He talked a lot, and Fu Qingzhou finally figured out the cause and effect of the matter. It turns out that the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains imprisoned a great evil man who once caused great headaches for the world and the imperial court. The evil man was originally just a little Taoist priest, but he rose to become a peerless powerhouse in just a few years.
At that time, he was extremely powerful and almost invincible. More than thirty years ago, he was deceived into a trap by the righteous heroes and court masters. The sect master's poison and witchcraft were finally captured.
But they did not kill the evil man - because it was said that this man had a huge secret that would make anyone's heart beat, and that was also the reason for his rapid rise. Everyone wanted to find out his secret, so they killed him. He was taken to Wandu Mountain and tortured and interrogated with poison day and night.
But now thirty years have passed, and the evil man is still alive, so we know that no one can ask his secret.
The key to the cell where this evil man was imprisoned... was on the body of the dead old Miao woman.
No one would have thought that an old woman who seemed to be old and had left her sect to live outside the mountains would actually keep such an important key. Naturally, no one would be able to steal the key.
It was not until thirty years later that Meng Zhugang, who was responsible for delivering food to the villain day and night, was persuaded.
The evil man promised him that he would accept him as a closed disciple and teach him his supreme magical skills, but asked him to release himself.
This was a very simple and crude transaction, but Meng Zhu just believed it.
"I...I have been in the sect for more than thirty years..."
He murmured: "The talent is stupid and dull. The bottleneck has not been loosened for ten years. Master No, I don’t like me. Even the juniors and juniors who started more than ten years later are better than me. They even send me to do chores like delivering meals!”
"This...this is my only chance!"
Fu Qingzhou looked at him coldly.
Meng Zhugang's face was covered with blue spots, his body was visibly stiff, and even the blood flowing from the wound under his ribs was glowing with blue.
"That is to say..."
Fu Qingzhou squatted down and slapped the other person's face with a knife: "If I find this key, I will send it back to Wanwan with you, a traitor. Poisonous Mountain, even if you have made a great contribution to your sect, it is not difficult to exchange for a promise to break the curse."
Meng Zhugang was startled at first, and then showed an extremely ugly bitter smile.
"Really, really to, break, break the curse?" His tone was full of disbelief.
Fu Qingzhou smiled: "Yes, what else?"
"Then...that's okay." Meng Zhugang replied with difficulty and pain.
He could never have imagined that when he carefully snooped around the door, approached those who looked down on him at all, and took huge risks to kill his senior sister... He was just one step away from success. Falling on a young man!
And this young man has nothing to do with this matter, he is just trying to understand a curse!
If I had just agreed to take him to the mountains to find the elders to help break the curse, and as long as he helped me find the key, would the ending be different?
Meng Zhugang didn't know and didn't want to think about that possibility. He was afraid that he would go crazy with regrets.
"I...I have a request."
He tried to open his stiff mouth and said: "I, I will take you into the mountain, but please stay at the mountain gate. Come on, let go... let me go."
In less than half an hour, the positions of the beggar and the begged have been reversed.
Fu Qingzhou knew that Meng Zhugang wanted to ask for the hope of life.
Once this traitor returns to the mountain, death awaits him.
If this hope is extinguished for him, then he will never be able to find Wandu Mountain again.
So he smiled: "Of course, no problem."
