Chapter 58 Traitor of the Witch God Cult

"Crunch! Crunch!"

The sound of chewing and gnawing was heard in Zhao Lie's body.

Looking at Zhao Lie's miserable condition, Zhang Jian's hair stood on end.

When Zhou Qing looked at him with compassion, his scalp felt numb and his brain seemed to explode.

With the addition of Er Qing, Zhao Lie's pain soon ended.

Chi Yan didn't dare to snatch Zhao Lie's essence and blood from it, and the gnawing noises were much smaller.

In just a dozen breaths, Zhao Lie's body turned into a skinny mummy. The originally shiny skin became like dry and rotten tree bark, as if it would turn into powder with just a pinch of hand.

"Madman! Monster!! Monster!!!"

Zhou Qing let go of the hand holding Zhang Jian's mouth, and his emotions collapsed.

It's useless to be afraid even if you know you're going to die.

But if they were subjected to such inhumane torture before death, I'm afraid not many people could bear it.

"Say it." Zhou Qing looked at Zhang Jian calmly.

"Zhou Qing! You're cruel!" Zhang Jian roared.

"I'm looking for Jiuquan because I met a member of the Witch God Sect before, and he was parasitized by the green silk Gu!"

"Very good, continue." Zhou Qing nodded.

"That man's green silk Gu was almost able to grow into a wine bug, but he was discovered. As a result, he betrayed the Witch God Cult and was hunted down by the members of the Witch God Cult. He was seriously injured, but I rescued him."

Zhang Jian continued.

"Later, he was too seriously injured, his energy and blood were greatly damaged, and he was unable to continue cultivating the wine bugs, so he put the green silk Gu into the wine spring.

During this period, in order to repay my life-saving grace, he guided me in martial arts training, and I also broke through the barrier. "

"Then what?" Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed, remembering the corpse Er Qing found under the Jiuquan.

"Later, members of the Wushen Cult showed up in the town, and the man left the town.

Not long after, he came back to me with his last breath and entrusted me with all the secret books and wine bugs he had with him.

It's a pity that I know the way to Jiuquan, but I can't avoid the miasma.

Otherwise, if someone is a drunkard, I won't do it." At this point, Zhang Jian's face was full of reluctance.

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows and his eyes changed slightly.

"Where is the wine fountain?"

"You and She Quanyi went up the mountain together, didn't you find Jiuquan?" Zhang Jian asked back.

"Where's the secret book?" Zhou Qing groped around on Zhang Jian's body and found a money bag with only four pieces of silver in it.

"I placed the secret book in the southeast corner of the Zhao Mansion's backyard, under the first floor tile on the right side of the foot of the bed.

The secret book contains blood refining methods for refining Gu insects, as well as an inner strength and mental method called the 'Hundred Poison Manual'. "

Zhang Jian is as clean as pouring beans through a bamboo tube.

"Are there any masters living in the backyard of Zhao Mansion? How is the guard situation?" Zhou Qing said in a deep voice.

"Only the servants and us little stewards live in the southeast corner. The strongest warriors living near my room are two third-class diners in the meat-refining realm.

However, they went to bed early at night because they had to inspect the Zhao family's various properties in the town during the day. "

Zhang Jian explained.

"Very good." Zhou Qing nodded.

"I hope you fulfill your promise!" Zhang Jian closed his eyes, looking like he was being slaughtered.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement. Zhang Jian opened his eyes and saw Zhou Qing with a sneer on his face.

"Don't you really want me to sneak into Zhao's house to find the secret book?"

Zhou Qing said suddenly.

"Actually, I have been to Jiuquan. In addition to the wine bugs, I also found a corpse in it. Whose body do you think it belongs to?"

"You!" Zhang Jian's expression changed, "You have already"

Zhou Qing's hands were like iron pliers, tightly squeezing Zhang Jian's neck, "You are overcooperating!"

"You will definitely do it." Zhang Jian's face was full of resentment.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, Zhou Qing broke Zhang Jian's neck.

"Although you lied to me, I still let you go out of mercy."

Zhou Qing murmured to himself.

There are corpses in Jiuquan, but that doesn't really mean anything.

But Zhang Jian was too cooperative, which was really suspicious.

People who have escaped from the Witch God Cult will come back and entrust the secret book to him before they die in order to repay the kindness of saving their lives. No matter how it sounds, it sounds like a temporary lie.

Zhou Qing even believed that it was Zhang Jian who killed the traitor to the Witch God Cult.

"If it's true or false, you can find out if you go to Hantan."

"Puff." Er Qing appeared next to Zhang Jian's body.

"Eat."

With Zhou Qing's approval, Er Qing got into Zhang Jian's body and started feasting on it.

While Er Qing was eating, Zhou Qing began to touch the corpse. He found twenty-nine golden beans and dozens of taels of silver from Zhao Lie's body.

According to the gold and silver exchange ratio of the Jin Dynasty, one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, but ten taels of silver will never be exchanged for one tael of gold.

It takes at least twelve taels of silver to exchange for one tael of gold.

There are about one tael per golden bean.

In other words, Zhao Lie took more than three hundred taels of silver with him when he went out casually.

I remember back then, he ate wild vegetable bran porridge for half a month for the registration fee of thirty taels of silver.

"As expected of a rich man!"

Zhou Qing poured the golden beans into his money bag.

Then he took out the corpse-transforming water from the package he carried.

The body instantly emitted white smoke.

呲呲

呲呲

When Zhao Lie's body turned into pus, Zhou Qing poured it on Zhang Jian, who had become a mummy.

Finally, there is the meat-refining realm warrior who was sucked dry by Er Qing from the beginning.

"Such a good thing is gone."

Watching the last drop of corpse-turning water fall from the porcelain bottle, Zhou Qing felt a little pity.

Lin Qiu didn't have the formula for corpse-turning water on his body, so he didn't know if he could buy it in the county town.

"It seems I can't go to the county seat."

Zhou Qing used the kettle he brought with him to wash away the more conspicuous blood stains in the forest, put on his monkey mask, and ran non-stop in the direction of Black Wind Mountain.

The last time, he and Lin Qiu went out at the same time, and Lin Qiu died.

This time, he went out at the same time as Zhao Lie, Zhang Jian and other three people, and the three disappeared together again, which was too suspicious.

Fortunately, it was still dark when he went out, so he had time to get back before dark.

evening.

Zhou Qing found the basket left on the mountain, put the parcel under the basket, and filled it with a basket full of mulberry leaves.

Erqing, Golden Silkworm, Red Flame, and Purple Fire Flying Ant all went out to help him catch a snow rabbit and two pheasants.

Before going down the mountain, he smeared some mud on his body and pretended to fall.

When going down the mountain, he carried two pheasants in one hand and a snowshoe hare in the other. With his powerful eagle vision, he deliberately met a few mountain people, showed off today's harvest, and then walked down the mountain road near the mulberry picking village. Up the mountain.

Back in town, Zhou Qing immediately sent the pheasant and snow rabbit to Baiweilou and sold them for 620 cash.

Then he went to the backyard of the martial arts school to get meat meals for the next few days.

Finally he returned home.

"Ah Qing, you're not going to the county town." Grandma was sweeping the floor in the yard. When she saw Zhou Qing coming back with a basket on his back, she looked confused.

"Shh!" Zhou Qing stepped forward quickly and motioned for grandma to be silent.

"I have been in the mountains all day today! I plan to go to the county seat in a few days,"

"Remember, then I'll buy some meat for dinner." Grandma nodded, put down the broom and went out without asking any more questions.

"Grandma, I want to eat braised pork tonight." Zhou Qing said with a smile.

"I know!" Although grandma was a little lame, her steps were not slow.

"Hoo~!" Zhou Qing returned to the silkworm room and lay on the wooden bed with a long sigh.

After regaining a little strength, he took out the purse filled with gold beans and silver, took a deep breath of the smell of copper, and put the purse under the floor tiles to hide it.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye it was twenty days again.

Zhou Qing maintained the same regular schedule as before.

In the morning, we went up the mountain to collect mulberry, hunt and raise gu.

Occasionally spend a whole day in the mountains.

He spent most of the afternoon in the martial arts studio practicing Baiyun Palm.

In the evening, I practiced the Blue Water Kung Fu.

Taking advantage of this time, he practiced the 'Fengxing Slash' sword technique to the 'proficient' stage.

After the level is improved, these third-rate martial arts are easy to master.

Without the powerful energy and blood brought by Buxue Powder, Zhou Qing's cultivation speed was much slower.

But it's all about safety.

Ten days ago, news spread in the city that the seventh son of the Zhao family was missing.

In recent days, many 'suspicious' people have been taken to the Yamen for questioning.

"It's time to show off." Zhou Qing looked at the increasingly solid cloud of fourth qi and blood on his arm, and decided to add some insurance to himself.
