Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

Chixinzi raised his brows and said, "You...could it be that you sent your dead men who sneaked into various sects to poison the group of people who came up the mountain?"

"poison?"

He Ping smiled slightly and shook his head at him.

"Besides, how can ordinary poison poison a mandrill? The mandrill is an out-and-out monster. I never intended to poison it. I actually used the 'soul-inducing incense', but I just increased the dosage."

"Added a dose?"

Chi Xinzi was shocked when he heard this.

"Isn't that..."

"right."

He Ping nodded and chuckled.

"The soul-attracting incense is a strange and alluring fragrance for monsters, especially for monsters like mandrills. Its fragrance is enough to make them haunted. If the dose is increased, the soul-attracting incense will become like wine. , will make the mandrill become crazy, excited, hazy, and fall into a state of intoxication."

"Everyone you enter the mountain takes the soul-inducing incense."

Chixinzi understood.

"Yes, but the soul-inducing incense is not poisonous to humans."

He Ping did not deny it.

"My 'hidden stakes' only put the soul-attracting fragrance into these people's drinking water and food. In addition, when everyone entered the mountain, I also gave them medicine that can eliminate the soul-attracting fragrance outside their bodies. The mandrills smell it. Without the smell of their bodies, only by eating the flesh and blood of these people can you fall into this drunken state."

"It doesn't matter if the mandrill doesn't eat people. Once it starts slaughtering the people who enter the mountain or devours human flesh and blood, it will be plotted by you, just like drinking too much and getting drunk."

Chi Xinzi also laughed.

"The disciples from various gangs and sects who entered the mountain are no exception. They have all become pawns in your scheme. Junior brother, you are really thoughtful."

"Except for the Chiling Taoist from Feiyu Sect and Master Zhao from Tiexin Martial Arts School, most of the others who entered the mountain were motivated by greed and only wanted a reward of 10,000 taels;

As for the cannibalism of mandrills, if they only want to bury their bellies, they may not accidentally eat more than the dose of soul-inducing incense, let alone be trapped by my calculations. If they are just greedy and lustful for a lifetime, they will not escape this disaster. "

He Ping smiled coldly.

"Let's go and see what the mandrill is like now."

…

Qi Huiying was glad that she was still alive. She believed that she should live. Even if the Feiyun Thirteen Riders were removed from the world, she felt that she had to fulfill her responsibilities.

The word "responsibility" is more important than Mount Tai. This is the commandment that was drilled into her bit by bit when she was selected into the "Wuyue Pavilion" to undergo the most demanding training of Taoist slaves in history.

"I want to live and expose the true face of the conspirators..."

With this belief in mind, she managed to survive the massacre caused by the mandrill, hiding in a valley overgrown with weeds and rocks. Even though she was hiding in a secret place, she could still smell the strong smell of blood.

"Help, help!!!"

There was a scream not far away, followed by a terrifying beast's roar, and then there was the strange sound of chewing meat and breaking bones.

"That monster is still eating people! How big is its appetite!?"

Qi Huiying was hiding in the crown of a big tree. Through the shade of the tree, she could see the "one-horned", "flesh-finned" black shadow that "shaped like a flying ape".

The figure, which was far bigger than the mountain bear, was chasing several figures. The mandrill's right hand was grabbing the head of the leader of the Shen Ax Gang. Half of the face of the head had disappeared, and the brains were dripping down.

The ape-like face seemed to be drunk, and saliva flowed from the corner of the mouth. The saliva dripped onto the grass blades on the ground, instantly corroding the blades.

"How on earth are we going to deal with this monster?!"

The new leader of the Huma Gang, Qi Baiyi, who came to help, wiped the cold sweat from his head. Although his face was still calm, his right hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.

He entered the mountain from the west road with Master Zhao of Tiexin Martial Arts School. After receiving the news of the fireworks and discussing with Master Zhao, he led a small number of people and rushed over in advance. As a result, he was involved A horrific massacre with blood splattered and limbs flying...

In the first conflict with the one-horned mandrill, Taoist Chiling of Feiyumen was severely injured and was carried away by several disciples. Without a leader, the remaining people could not even organize a counterattack. However, the mandrill devoured several After becoming a person, his behavior becomes sluggish and erratic.

Everyone didn't know that He Ping had secretly added strong ingredients to the mandrill. They just thought it was caused by the monster's crazy temper. After Qi Baiyi arrived, he gathered up the people who were fleeing in all directions and forcefully picked up the rice. He also used members of the Huma Gang as bait to lure the mandrill into the valley.

It's just that the current situation is not good. Because the mandrill swallowed a large amount of flesh and blood containing "soul-inducing fragrance", its pace became staggering, as if it was lost, and its movements became very slow. However, this monster is still extremely powerful, and with the The body-protecting elixir is so powerful that the weapons in everyone's hands have no way of breaking through the defense.

"This monster is invulnerable. How on earth are we going to fight it?"

The leader of the Bamboo Flower Hall next to Qi Baiyi smiled bitterly.

"Half of the many brothers who came to us were killed by this monster. So far, this monster has remained unscathed. Dozens of people tried their best but couldn't defeat it. We have limited manpower. How can we deal with this monster? Head mandrill!"

"We're not thinking about this now. What we want to think about now is how to escape from here alive!"

Qi Baiyi gritted his teeth, wrapped a piece of cloth around the long sword in his hand, and decided to make a desperate fight.

Suddenly, at this moment, the mandrill stopped. It burped, its vision was blurred, and its head was shaking.

"What is this monster going to do?!"

Qi Baiyi frowned slightly, feeling suddenly uneasy.

The one-horned mandrill opened its mouth slightly, its fangs flashed, and a trace of red light appeared in its dark mouth. Then, it let out a "wine burp" and spurted out a glowing blood-colored flower.

"Red flowers?"

This scene stunned many people present.

Next, more blood-red flowers flew from the mandrill's bloody mouth. The flowers floating in the air floated slightly, and a rot-like stench mixed with the smell of blood floated out, accompanied by a faint smell. Blood mist.

In the light mist, there was a ball of crystal red light, surrounded by dozens of layers of intricately rotating petals. It was a blood crystal skull in the center.

"what is that?"

While everyone was in confusion, Qi Huiying, who was hiding in the tree crown, felt terrified in her heart.

"Neidan!"

Qi Huiying saw clearly that the skull was actually an inner elixir, but she didn't know how it turned into a crystal-like skull. There was also a layer of fine red flower patterns on the red elixir shell. , the size is close to a toddler's fist.

The moment this weird inner elixir appeared, alarm bells rang in her heart, but she couldn't warn her aloud.

The eyes of the one-horned mandrill lit up with blood, and he spurted out evil elixir energy. The bloody skull opened and closed its jaw, and shot out with a loud bang.

The blood-red turbid current hit the earth and rushed in the direction of the survivors. Everything was swallowed up by the blood light. Before the red light arrived, Qi Baiyi felt the blood in his body surge and subconsciously used "Lazy Donkey" "Wall" dodged a bullet.

When he turned his head, his companions behind him were suddenly gone, leaving only some bloody limbs, feet on the ground, or broken bones and minced meat splashed all over the ground.

Several trees behind him were punched through, revealing a semicircular gap with wisps of smoke and scorch. The giant trees were broken, and a deep ravine was torn out of the ground.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

The few people who survived let out insane howls, looking at what had just been their companions, now turned into half-melted corpses.

The person's facial features disappeared, melted fat flowed out from the broken wounds, blood boiled like bones, and the smell of cooked flesh and bones was nauseating.

On the other side, Qi Huiying, who was hiding in the tree crown, looked at the completely destroyed scene. A trembling feeling spread through her body from behind. She reached out and held the long copper box tightly, thinking about whether to take advantage of this opportunity to shoot out the box. The nine arrows of the dragon spirit in it.

(After spitting out the elixir energy, the mandrill must have been somewhat consumed, and the elixir that protects the body will be reduced a lot. At this time, it may be possible to take action——)

No, I have no room to save others.

Her left hand hesitated on the long copper box for a long time, and finally let go.

"time to go."

Qi Huiying took a deep breath, turned around without hesitation, and jumped to the nearest tree canopy. As soon as her front foot landed, a big hand fell from the air and pressed down on her Tianling Cap.

When she was spinning, she had no time to react. The icy coldness penetrated from Tianling to the top of her head, like a needle pricking her brain, and then penetrated into her bone marrow like mercury sinking in water.

At this moment, Qi Huiying felt surprisingly cold, and then she felt very tired and sleepy. Then, she seemed to be asleep, and there was no more sound.

…

"The thirteenth..."

He Ping's eyes showed a trace of satisfaction. He flicked his sleeves and Qi Huiying's body fell from the tree.

"Junior brother is really compassionate. The power of his soul turns into a sharp needle and penetrates into the brain. This death is silent and painless, just like a person dying in his sleep. He dies without any illness and his death is easy..."

Chi Xinzi, dressed in green robe, floated over from behind, with a hint of teasing in his tone. He Ping knew very well that this senior brother was testing him. The other person was analyzing his personality, habits, weaknesses or flaws through his words and deeds.

People like Chi Xinzi, when it comes to cooperating with him, just see that he has value. He Ping believes that once the other party squeezes out his value, he will immediately turn against him and take action.

Coincidentally, He Ping also had the same idea in his mind. "Cooperation" was just an excuse for the two sides to "avoid war" when the two sides were in a stalemate. He also did not relax his vigilance and was secretly observing Chi Xinzi, hoping to master this " "Senior Brother" to obtain more information in order to gain more advantages when they fall out in the future.

At this time, when faced with Chi Xinzi's questioning, he just answered lightly: "How can you say that you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? I just don't have a hobby of cruelty and killing, nor do I have any interest in controlling other people's life and death for fun. I act like a businessman. , pay attention to the principle of 'taking into account the money', go for everything if it is beneficial, and avoid if it is not beneficial. As long as it does not hinder my affairs, I will not kill people at will... Of course, if it blocks my way, then I can only kill him. ”

"Every bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit."

Chi Xinzi smiled.

"Junior brother is quite a cheerful person."

"Senior Brother Chixinzi, don't think I'm a philistine."

While He Ping was speaking, his eyes were always looking towards the bottom of the valley. He noticed that the mandrill took a deep breath, and the strange spar-like skull inner elixir was sucked into the mandrill's belly again.

"In this case, I will make another business deal with my junior brother."

Chi Xinzi's hoarse voice was like gold and iron grinding the ground. He smiled and suggested: "Can the inner elixir of this one-horned mandrill be shared with me, senior brother? I am willing to use the fragmentary inheritance of the "Demon Planting" method in exchange for this elixir. Neidan.”
