Chapter 1008: Wishful Thinking
"Hey, just go down by yourself, why take us with you!"
Xiao Guang, who was carried in my hand, fluttered vigorously, but his hands and legs and ankles were tied together, and the difficult posture could only make him move a little twice, and he couldn't make waves.
I glanced at him and said with a smile, "Hey, all of you people in the village are waiting below, are you embarrassed to hide up there by yourself?"
As I spoke, my pace quickened a little.
After pushing in from the stone gate, there are layers of stairs, extending all the way down, I can already feel the breath of Chen Yongtai, smooth and mellow, it should be fine.
Then he doesn't know how to struggle??
I rolled my eyes, and said that the hero was sad to pass the beauty pass, tsk, the ancients did not deceive me.
“...... You, even if you beat me down, you will just die one more person, this is the altar of Miao Jiang, after the prophet came, all the newborn mongrels will be sacrificed here to the gods......"
Anxious, Xiao Guang couldn't help but speak, I stopped in surprise and looked at him fixedly, this guy swallowed his saliva, and continued, "You will also die here, and when the Gu worms are full, the bloodline of the Miao Jiang clan will return to orthodoxy again." ”
"Haha, what a joke! You actually believe the words of the celestials? It's just some careerists in the cloak of gods!"
I laughed out loud, and when people get to a low point, they really don't care about anything.
Especially the ethnic groups who are eager to see the light of day again, Miao Jiang is like this, and so is Shura Dao. Chen Ming didn't have as many words as I did, and directly kicked Xiao Guang to shut up, and took advantage of the situation to slash a hand knife on the neck of the middle-aged man who was muttering and didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, the aisle below was much cleaner.
The three of us smiled wryly at each other, and went down the stairs, reaching the end in about two minutes.
"Hehe, you came just in time, Yongtai is lonely, you all go and accompany him. ”
Emerging from the passage, I saw Hua Gu standing in the open space in front of me in a fiery red wedding dress and heavy makeup. Chen Yongtai lay on the stone platform in the center with his eyes closed, his expression was calm and somewhat gray, and there were occasional abnormal bulges on his bare arms.
This is one of the manifestations of being hit by the Gu, the Gu worm is burrowing in his blood at this time, and after a while, the heart is the death period of Master Yongtai.
I was just about to take a step forward when I noticed that the ground was covered in bright red incantations, forming a perfect circle around the stone platform.
"Sacrificial ......"
Chen Ming's lips opened lightly and spit out two words.
"Hmph, it's hard for you to know. Ah Liang's mission has failed, but it doesn't matter, you are in a snare when you get here. What are you doing in a daze, arrest these people!"
Hua Gu said the second half of her sentence to the villagers gathered on both sides of the incantation, and as soon as the words fell, seven or eight young men with strong expressions came out and surrounded us, with a heavy aura on their bodies, and obviously a lot of blood in their hands.
"I don't know how we offended Hua Gu, Uncle Yongtai still talked about your good before coming. "I cheered up and talked to this old woman, after all, the Gu worms are already like the two of Chen Yongtai's bodies, and now the initiative is in their hands.
As long as Hua Gu gave a signal, the Gu worm would instantly penetrate Chen Yongtai's heart.
I just don't understand, how could this resourceful old man fall for the Gu, it stands to reason that hiding is always hiding.
Hua Gu obviously didn't eat me, and with a wave of her big hand, the young men rushed up, sandwiching me between left and right, one pinching the Gu worm, and the other holding a knife in his hand.
Among the three of us, except for Chen Chong, who was naturally not afraid of Gu worms, Chen Ming and I had nothing to do with it.
"If you have something to say, you will inevitably hurt our harmony when you start fighting. Why don't you talk about a condition, maybe I can meet you?"
I winked at Chen Ming, and he rushed behind Chen Chong with a tacit understanding, relying on the other party's tall figure and compelling momentum to avoid the young men.
"Ha, what conditions do I have to negotiate with the people of your four major families!"
Hua Gu's thick eyebrows were raised, and her expression was full of disdain.
"Your purpose should only be Uncle Yongtai, in that case, why bother raising a little ghost for Xia Feiyang's boy who can't support the wall in the mud?"
Chen Yongtai would come over almost every once in a while, sometimes for a year, sometimes for years. As long as Hua Gu waits patiently, when he comes, just trap people directly, where is there so much trouble.
When there are many people, there will be uncertainty.
She herself shouldn't be so stupid, so there should be someone else to teach her about this......
I lowered my face and looked at her heavily, but the woman was stunned at first, and then laughed, "Hahaha, do you think there is someone behind me? But the end result is the same!"
"You all have to pay the price for what happened back then! Even if my Miao Jiang clan has a broken bloodline, I will drag him into the water! Not to mention that there are three more Chen family members today, and my life is worth it!"
Hua Gu smiled arrogantly, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows showed deep wrinkles, even if she was well maintained, decades still couldn't stop the passage of time.
"You're lying," I was unmoved, letting the young man next to me grab my arm and make a slender cut on it, "You actually don't want Miao Jiang's bloodline to pass on, so you didn't expose it when you were doing things in Yongtai Shibo." ”
This is just a guess on my part, and I was just going to gamble, but I didn't expect Hua Gu's face to freeze for a moment when she heard my words.
Am I right?
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, Ji Rao said this, I continued, "Miao Jiang was also a big ethnic group back then, even if it was persecuted by the four major families, it would not die easily, especially the cultivation over the years, it should recover well." ”
"But you who are hiding in Magnolia Peak, there are only a few dozen people left to talk about, not to mention the weakened bloodline and talent inheritance. Without the help of outsiders, you can't do it alone, and Uncle Yongtai is your helper, as for why you want to do this, it should also be out of hatred for Miao Jiang. ”
I looked at Hua Gu's suddenly discolored face with some pride, and the surrounding villagers looked incredulous.
Hehe, if you want Lao Tzu's life, you have to taste the taste of setting fire to your body first.
I took advantage of the stunned efforts of several young men, one by one, punched them out, and then felt out the talisman seal in my arms, and drew the scriptures with the blood left behind, and in the blink of an eye, the four confinement talisman seals lay in my palm.
"Hua Gu, we trust you so much, but in the end it is your own clan who is cheating on you!!"
An old man with white eyebrows walked out of the crowd on crutches, and opened his mouth to Hua Gu is a series of scolding, the words were fierce and unbearable.
Chen Ming asked me if I wanted to go up and take care of me and shook my head, this is someone's housework, and it has nothing to do with me.
Looking at Hua Gu's attitude, it should be what conditions the heavens have made, and she reluctantly agreed without a choice, not to mention that she herself is standing in the bright red spell, she should want to die with Chen Yongtai.
“...... Miao Jiang's Taoism is harmful to others and himself, and it is not suitable to appear in this world. Those mysterious people threatened me to exterminate us all if I didn't kill the president's youngest son...... The Miao Jiang lineage has been passed down so far, and there are not many people, and most of these remaining people have thin bloodlines, and there will be no talent inheritance within a few generations. ”
"We are already so ordinary, in another hundred years, this bloodline will disappear completely, I don't want to become a political bargaining chip, let alone my generation will be exterminated, so I promised them to go to the imperial city to kill someone, but I didn't know that just because of my small actions, it would cause so many things......"
Hua Gu seemed to give up, and sat down on the ground dejectedly, and the surrounding villagers also fell silent after hearing her words, and the old man who was most excited to scold at first sighed and said goodbye, thinking that this truth was too realistic.
Later, in order to help Xia Feiyang, I found Uncle Yongtai, but the development of things greatly exceeded her expectations, so when I first entered the village, Hua Gu wanted to kill me so much because she was worried that I would recognize her, and it would be difficult to explain to Chen Yongtai at that time.
I didn't expect that we people didn't think more simply than one another, and it was useless to want to break us up.
"I don't want to kill Brother Yongtai, but the mysterious man said that he would kill everyone in the village if he didn't die, and I don't think he would blame me if I stayed with him. ”
After Hua Gu finished speaking, she seemed to have exhausted her strength, staring blankly at the front with her eyes.
"The mysterious people in your mouth, as well as the prophets, are the celestials who made a mess of the Yin and Yang worlds before. But I don't know what their purpose was in killing Xia Feiyang......"
Chen Ming said with his chin propped up, and the long sword in his other hand was still pointed at the villagers of Miaojiang not far away, in case of their sudden attack.
I was also puzzled, but at this time I thought of a conclusion that sounded a little unreliable, "Could it be that the heavens and men were unsuccessful in joining forces with the Great Xia Kingdom on the surface, so they thought about killing the heir and pushing another one up, so that it would be more convenient for their own people to do things in the future when they were in the seat." ”
Even if Xia Feiyang is really a useless young master, the previous president did not pass on the position to others when he died.
According to the laws of the Great Xia Kingdom, once the president dies suddenly during his tenure, he will be inherited by his descendants until the end of his term.
This is an iron law that cannot be violated.
In less than a year, a lot of things can still be changed.
Moreover, although the current political situation is unstable, the forces that can overwhelmingly overthrow the Xia clan have not yet appeared, and the celestials want to take advantage of this opportunity to exploit the loophole.
was sure that Xia Feiyang would not ask for help from the culprit who killed his father, and in this way, the other Taoist priests who were free from the smash did not have the ability to deal with that little ghost.
In this way, God can indirectly usurp the throne without knowing it.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that I would go around the Imperial City so coincidentally and disrupt their plans.
