Text Text_Chapter 346 Old Man in the Twilight
Strangely, the thin man did not rush to ask Zheng Qian about the corpse, but took Zheng Qian directly to the gate of a ruined temple halfway up the mountain.
"You go in alone!" said the thin man in a cold tone.
Zheng Qian was stunned, this process was completely different from what Ke Fei explained.
However, after Zheng Gan hesitated for a moment, Zheng Qian still went directly to the ruined temple.
After entering the temple, there was an old man in sackcloth sitting inside, with his back to Zheng Qian, making it difficult to see his face.
"Are you ......" Zheng Qian asked vigilantly in his heart, not knowing why this old man gave him a very strange feeling, making him feel that standing in front of him was not a person, but an ethereal mist, a little unpredictable.
This feeling has only been given to him by the plague god before.
"Huh!"
A chuckle came, "Young man, you're finally here!"
"Are you waiting for me?" Zheng Qian asked with a frown.
The old man turned around slowly and nodded with a smile on his face.
The moment he saw the old man's face, Zheng Gan's whole body was stunned, this old man's appearance was too terrifying, there was no flesh on his body, it looked like a skeleton wearing a human skin, especially when the old man grinned, the exposed gums were even more terrifying.
If it weren't for Zheng Qian, who had even seen real ghosts, he would have almost turned around in fright and ran away.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time...... And aren't you looking for me too?" the old man said in a calm tone, his voice very soft, without a trace of waves.
"You are ......" Zheng Gan's brows furrowed, and his face was surprised.
The old man nodded, "You think well, I am the person you are looking for, I can also tell you that I can solve the poison source in your body, but the premise, you have to do one thing for me!"
"That's what you're looking for me today?" Zheng Qian asked rhetorically.
The old man was silent for a moment before he said, "I would have calculated that you would come to me, even if I didn't come to you, the result would be like this......"
"Then what are you looking for me?" Zheng Qian asked, "How can I help you?"
The old man paused and said, "I'll tell you a story......
Zheng Qian found a stone in the ruined temple and sat down, listening quietly.
"I'm one hundred and eleven years old, you may have heard about me forming a corpse chasing team to destroy the invading pirates, right?" the old man asked directly as soon as he opened his mouth.
Zheng Qian nodded, he had indeed heard these legends.
"They all called me Old Man Yin, retreat from the battlefield, I calculated that there will be a big change, this art of expelling corpses will be destroyed as an evil art, so after that, I took a group of villagers I rescued to move to Nanyun Mountain, and laid a mist formation around it, and ordinary people can't find it at all. ”
"Time passed slowly like this, and I thought I could pass like this until I left this world, but I was wrong...... The two apprentices I brought out single-handedly, they carried me behind my back, secretly broke through the fog formation, let many villagers go down the mountain, used evil magic to make huge profits, and used improper means to obtain corpses......"
Zheng Qian was stunned for a moment, "Those murderous corpses, as well as stealing corpses and refining corpses, were all done by your apprentices behind your back?"
The old man nodded, "Yes, this is also the purpose of my coming to you today, the art of refining corpses, in order to drive out the corpses for people and send them those corpses that cannot be buried in their hometowns, but if they are used in the evil way, they will be punished!"
"However, they are your apprentices, and if they have done something wrong, wouldn't it be better for you to punish them?" Zheng Qian asked rhetorically.
The old man shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Now they have taken people down the mountain and made a lot of money by using the corpse expulsion technique, and the other people in the village have tasted the sweetness, and they have supported them one by one, they no longer want to live that kind of self-sufficient life, in their opinion, it is me who eats the ancients, and I have an empty body of alchemy treasures but I don't know how to dig them, but if I go down the evil road, the quagmire is deep, and I will ruin myself after all!"
Zheng Qian nodded, "There are many ways to make money!"
"So, what I ask you to do is to stop my two apprentices, if you can stop it, I can relieve you of the poison source of the plague god, if not, I won't make a move!"
Zheng Qian suddenly had a headache, "What do you want me to do?"
"It's up to you how to do it!" said the old man, "I just don't want my two apprentices to stop doing things that hurt the heavens and reason...... Take 10,000 steps back, if you really can't change them, sending them out of this world can also save more innocent people from harm!"
Zheng Qian was silent, he looked at the old man, but his heart was touched, this old man who paid silently, chose to leave silently when he was honored, and now seeing his two apprentices doing evil, he can also do righteousness to kill his relatives, just to do less evil and let innocent people not be harmed.
"Okay, I promise you!" Zheng Qian said in a deep voice.
The old man grinned and squeezed out a smile that was a hundred times more ugly than crying, "I believe you can do it, I have a bag here, open it at a critical moment, maybe it can save your life, now, my eldest apprentice is in Nanyun City, and my second apprentice is in Daxi City......"
Zheng Qian nodded, took the bag, he bowed deeply at the old man, if nothing else, he killed his relatives for the latter's righteousness!
Zheng Qian left and returned to Nanyun City with several of Nie Laojiu's horses.
"You go back first, by the way, find out the news of Mu Yunfei, and tell me as soon as you have any news!" Zheng Qian already knew the names of his two apprentices from the old man, one Mu Yunfei and the other Mu Yunling.
At the same time, he also knew that this matter could not only be understood by killing Mu Yunfei and the two of them, even if he killed one Mu Yunfei today, and another Mu Yunfei would come out tomorrow, if the main root cause was not solved, this matter would always exist.
Back at the hotel, Zheng Qian told Meng Fu about these things.
Meng Fu also frowned: "Then what are you going to do?"
Zheng Qian rubbed his temples with a headache, "Let's find the two of them first!"
After doing this, Zheng Qian rushed directly to Nanyun Sanatorium to prepare to treat Qiao Feng's legs.
I used to agree to prepare for half a month, but now that Qiao Lao is also in Nanyun, it is better to solve it sooner rather than later, and you can understand a matter of concern if you solve it early.
However, when Zheng Qian rushed to Nanyun Sanatorium, he saw two acquaintances.
At this moment, Yan Lunping stood in front of Qiao Lao, his face was full of smiles, "Qiao Lao, I discussed and studied with a foreign expert some time ago, and there is a plan to try, maybe it can cure Qiao Shao's legs, so that he can leave the wheelchair in the future!"
Qiao Lao asked calmly, "How sure can you be?"
"Less than one percent!" Yan Lunping said, "But it's better to have hope than no hope, and it may be okay to try, but it's the worst...... It's just an amputation!"
"Less than one percent dare to take it out and say it's embarrassing?" At this moment, Zheng Qian walked over, and the voice in his mouth didn't give Yan Lun a flat face at all, "I'm ninety percent sure that it will be cured!"
